Between Coronavirus and the racial inequality in the United States and throughout the world, it is easy to get depressed with the state of affairs right now. Having said that, there has been some good news as of late and Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner came through with some of that good news over the weekend.
In a now-viral video, Conner showed off the moment in which he gifted his dad a brand new pickup truck. As you can see from the clip below, Conner and his father are standing across the street from the truck when the Steelers star reveals that the truck now belongs to his dad. Conner's father was shocked at first and then looked at his truck in giddy excitement. It was a beautiful moment between a father and son and we're sure they will remember this for a very long time.
What made the video humorous was the fact that Conner's dad refused to get in the car at first. Instead, he just wanted to admire the gift he had just been given. It adds a very pure quality to the video and we hope Conner's dad enjoys and drives the hell out of that car.
Many parents are instrumental in the success of professional athletes as they have to make numerous sacrifices along the path to glory. Clearly, Conner felt his dad was a major part of that journey.
Tristan Thompson Keeps The Peace By Sending Kim Kardashian Mother’s Day Gift
Tristan Thompson sent Kim Kardashian "the most beautiful flowers" as an early Mother's Day gift, maintaining their civility since his cheating scandal.
Tristan Thompson is making sure that all is well with his pseudo-sister-in-law, Kim Kardashian, by sending her a bouquet of flowers as an early Mother's Day gift. On Friday, Kim posted a video on her Instagram story showing off the bouquets she received from her sister, Kendall Jenner, and Tristan, the father of her niece, True Thompson. In the video, Kim captures different angles of the light pink and beige roses as she narrates, “...to the most beautiful flowers from Kendall and from Tristan."
"I love you guys," she continues. "Thank you so much for this early Mother’s Day surprise. They really are so beautiful." Tristan's sweet gesture follows Kim's surprising birthday shoutout to him back in March. "Happy Birthday @RealTristan13!!!" Kim wrote on a photo of the Cleveland Cavaliers player on her Instagram story. "Cheering loud for you today! Can't wait to celebrate soon!” She also posted a screenshot of a video of the two of them on her story, writing, "I think this is our only pic together @realtristan13."
At the time, the birthday message came as such a shock due to how reluctant Kim had been to forgive Tristan for cheating on her sister, Khloe, multiple times, including with their sister Kylie's best friend, Jordyn Woods. However, it looks like Kim and Tristan are officially on good terms now, so maybe she'll send a Father's Day gift his way in June?
Wendy Williams Sends New Superfan John Oliver An Odd Array Of Gifts
Wendy Williams sent John Oliver some Doritos and car, along with a self-portrait of her eating lamb chops, as a thank you for praising her at-home show.
Wendy Williams thanked her new superfan, fellow television host John Oliver, for giving her a loving shoutout on his show with an odd array of gifts: Doritos, car, and a self-portrait of her eating lamb chops. Last week, the political commentator praised Wendy’s at-home edition of her talk show on an episode of his HBO comedy series, Last Week Tonight.

“Wendy Williams has ascended to a level of f*cks not given that no human has ever achieved before,” he declared. “I’ll be honest, I was never a regular viewer of The Wendy Williams Show but I’ve become a big fan of Wendy At Home. It’s an oasis of truth in a world full of lies. It’s a real pickle on top of a fake hamburger, if you will.” Wendy appreciated the shoutout so much, that she invited him to be a virtual guest on her show on Tuesday (April 29th), where it was revealed that she had sent him some strange “thank you” gifts.

John put the painting of Wendy, in which it looks like she’s “about to go to town on a lamb chop” as he phrased it, on display during their video chat. Along with the portrait, he also received some Doritos and car, a combo he’s hesitant to try. “I don’t like either of these foods separately, so I’m not sure how I will like them together,” he admitted before sampling the dish. “Wow, it’s a lot.” he said after the first bite. “It’s not just one flavour, Wendy, it’s almost all of the flavour.” Watch the full unexpected interaction below:
The Weeknd Gifted Portrait Of Himself From Jim Carrey
The Weeknd thanked Jim Carrey for the portrait he painted of the singer for his 30th birthday.
The Weeknd revealed his surprising friendship with Jim Carrey on Wednesday when he thanked the comedian on social media for painting a portrait of him as a 30th birthday gift. The Weeknd recently celebrated his 30th birthday on February 16th, a few days after announcing his upcoming album, After Hours. While hitting the big 3-0 might be scary for some folks, it becomes a little easier to handle if you’re lucky enough to receive some thoughtful gifts.
The Weeknd clearly knows how that feels, as he shared a photo of one such gift from Jim Carrey on Twitter. On Wednesday, the singer showed off the beautiful portrait that Jim painted of him, complete with the number “30” outlined overtop of The Weeknd’s red-shaded face. In the caption, he wrote, “thank you @JimCarrey ! Perfect birthday gift.” Jim has become known for his artistic gifts, in particular his paintings of political figures like Donald Trump. Jim is definitely not a Trump supporter, and he uses his canvas to troll the POTUS by portraying him in a negative light.

Besides hitting this major milestone, The Weeknd is also basking in his new musical era. He dropped the title single from After Hours last week, announcing that the album itself will be released on March 20th. To support the highly anticipated project, he’ll be hitting the road for an extensive tour, beginning on June 11th in Vancouver. 2020 has definitely been his year so far.

Black Ink Crew: Chicago star Charmaine Walker got the best birthday surprise ever from her husband, Nick “Neek” Bey: a tattoo of her late mother on his back.

When Charmaine announced that she and Neek were expecting their first child together back in December, she mentioned that her mother knew about the pregnancy before she passed in October, and was thrilled that her “baby [was] having a baby.” Now, Glenda’s memory is forever immortalized on Neek’s skin, as Charmaine revealed on Instagram that her hubby got a portrait for her late mother tattooed on his back.
“Tat my mom on you so I know it’s real,” Charmaine wrote on a video unveiling her man’s tattoo. “Best birthday present ! @neekbey got a tattoo of my mom. This is unreal!” The ink was done by Charmaine’s friend and former star of Black Ink Crew: Chicago, Kat Tat. The tattoo artist also shared the same video on her Instagram account, followed by an up close shot of Mama Glenda in ink form. “Thank you @neekbey for giving me this honor of tattooing Mama Glenda on you, she will forever be missed!!” Kat wrote. “Such a sweet gesture for @charmainej_tv on her birthday! I love you both always.”
Charmaine and Glenda were very close, and the reality star has been very open about how difficult it has been since her mother passed away. However, she continues to look back on her time with her mother fondly, especially as she prepares to welcome new life into the world. On Christmas Day, Charmaine shared a heartwarming post about Glenda, featuring side-by-side photos of herself pregnant now and her mother pregnant with her 30 years prior.
“Exactly 30 years ago today my mother was pregnant with me!” Charmaine wrote. “Missing her so much and so grateful for my life with her and the life inside of me. Hard to really sit and think about but for the most part I feel her spirit today. Love you mom and merry Christmas to everyone.”

Diddy Gifts DaBaby’s "Lil One" $1K In Cash & Advises Him To "Always Pay Your Taxes"
Diddy comes through with financial blessings for DaBaby's son.
Who isn't a fan of DaBaby at this point? He's been scorching hot since the top of 2019 and hasn't slowed down since. That being said, he entered 2020 on a high note. Recently, a video surfaced of Diddy singing DaBaby's praises and referring to the Grammy-nominated rapper as the hottest in the game right now and truly, it's hard to disagree.
Since the clip first surfaced, it appears as though Diddy and DaBaby got closer. Now, we all know that DaBaby, despite wearing diapers himself, is a father, first and foremost. Last night, he headed over to Diddy's house along with his "Lil One" -- the son of his baby mother who he raises as his own child -- and received a gift from Diddy himself. The Bad Boy head honcho handed over an envelope with a thousand dollars in cash. "I want you to open that up because I want you to be able to make the face that you really want to make," Diddy said.
"Go 'head open it now. Y'aint gotta wait. Ain't no one gonna take nothin' from you," DaBaby said before his son opened the envelope. "I know he didn't do that. I'mma hand him them lil' five, twenties, he gon' be like, 'Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, big dawg.'
As DaBaby's son counted the money up, Diddy gave him some solid advice: Always pay your taxes.
Peep the clip below.
Rihanna Acknowledges Her Admirer, Lil Uzi Vert, With Signed Copy Of Her Book
So happy for Uzi!
I know we're all in love with Rihanna, but Lil Uzi Vert is REALLY in love with Rihanna. We started discovering the depth of his admiration for her back in November, when Uzi got candid on Twitter leading up to the release of his latest single, "Futsal Shuffle 2020". A fan asked the Philly rapper for an update on him and RiRi, likely wondering whether Uzi had shot his shot yet. He replied that he's still waiting on the day that The Bad Gal finally realizes that he is "THE ONE" and that, until then, he "don't wanna hear about her she 2 perfect." In an iconic moment in both Twitter and HNHH history, Uzi then responded to one of our tweets lamenting that the chance of this dream coming true are slim, since Rihanna would never even look in his direction.
In a beautiful turn of events, Uzi was just proven wrong. The queen herself has acknowledged her admirer by sending him a signed copy of her recently-released 500-page visual autobiography. "To my n**** Uzi," Rihanna wrote on the first page, signing off with a heart next to her name. The book, if you haven't seen it in person, is absolutely massive - almost the same size as Uzi himself. You could imagine him sleeping with it laying beside him and him occasionally flipping it open to long for the day that Ri realizes they are destined to be.
This photo of his gift is now one of two posts on Uzi's IG - the other being a fit pic that he must have thought was too fire to delete. This purging of his page suggests that we're coming close to the release of his highly-anticipated album, Eternal Atake.
Swizz Beatz Surprises Alicia Keys With Her Own Tea Company For Her Birthday
Solid word play.
Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys have been going strong for over a decade now, and when a couple has been together that long, coming up with gift ideas for each other can start to get challenging. Luckily, it looks like Swizz knows his beautiful wife very well, as his birthday gift to her this year is not one most people would come up with (or could afford). Before fulfilling her hosting duties at the Grammys on Sunday, Alicia celebrated her 39th birthday on Saturday night, where her husband surprised her with her own tea company called “Alicia Teas.”
In a video showing the birthday surprise taking place, Alicia is seen reading the product description of her new teas, which includes the phrase, “the key to life is living it.” She then points out that he must have planned this out very far in advance. On the mic, Swizz announces, “we got endless amount of teas. Everybody in Starbucks all around the world, y’all gonna see Alicia Teas. He then speaks directly to Alicia, saying, “blessings, blessings. Happy birthday, baby. Love you.” The couple then lean in for a kiss before Swizz announces that tea will be served shortly.

Alicia’s role as host of the Grammys was made a million times more emotional on Sunday, after news broke of Kobe Bryant’s passing hours before the show was scheduled to begin. She opened the night by paying her respects and acknowledging that they were in the “house that Kobe Bryant built” at that very moment. She and Boyz II Men also paid tribute to Kobe by performing the R&B group’s hit song, “It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday.”
Drake Surprises A$AP Rocky With An A$AP Yams Pendant Ahead Of Yams Day 2020
Try not to shed a tear.
Ahead of Yams Day 2020, A$AP Rocky got quite the thoughtful gift from his buddy, Drake. The annual music event, which the A$AP Mob started in honour of Mob founder, A$AP Yams, who died of an accidental overdose in 2015, kicked off at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Friday night. Drizzy decided to pay tribute to the late rapper by having a special gift made for Yams’ fellow Mob member and friend, A$AP Rocky. The “Life Is Good” rapper presented Rocky with an iced out pendant that bears Yams’ likeness to a T. In a video captured by photographer Angel Rivera, Rocky is shown absolutely awestruck by the incredible gift.
“This is crazy, I just wanna look at it,” Rocky says in the clip. “Man, Drizzy a good dude, bro.” The video features some close-up shots of the pendant, and there’s no denying that the jeweller, Jason of Beverly Hills, has managed to capture Yams’ appearance in jewelry form perfectly. The detail and consideration that went into nailing all of the elements, from his braids and facial birthmark to his cheek tattoo and his affinity for Coogi sweaters, is impressive. It’s revealed in the video that they “went over all the details” and “made a ton of changes until it was perfect,” and it shows. The piece consists of 600 grams of gold and 15 carats of flawless diamonds, and reportedly took over three months to manufacture. Though the price of this piece has not yet been revealed, similar pendants are valued at around $150,000. Jason of Beverly Hills has been commissioned by Drake to design pieces for him in the past, most recently some matching $400,000 OVO eagle and owl chains for himself and his “Life Is Good” collaborator, Future.
Along with A$AP Mob, Yams Day 2020 featured performances by 2 Chainz, Bun B, Hoodrich Keem, Joey Bada$$, Kenny Beats, Metro Boomin‘, Nav, , Night Lovell, Pierre Bourne, Pop Smoke, Smooky Margiellaa, YG, and more.
