Who else realized today that, with a different hairstyle, Lil Baby could pass as a young Jamie Foxx? 

The Shade Room posted a vintage picture of Jamie Foxx to their page today, asking their readers if they could figure out which Hollywood star was in the picture. Surprisingly, people were slow in figuring out that the man in the photo was Foxx. Instead, an abundant number of folks suggested that Lil Baby is the man in the picture.

The black-and-white image shows a man on the basketball team, sporting a mullet and representing for Terrell High School. Considering Lil Baby went to Booker T. Washington High School, where he dropped out in the tenth grade, we can easily confirm that this is not him. That didn’t stop anyone from claiming that the Atlanta rapper traveled back in time to put on Jamie Foxx’s uniform though.

“Yal know damn well that’s Lil Baby. Very obvious,” wrote one commenter. “Rare photo of Lil Baby,” wrote another, getting over 1,000 likes on his comment.

Until today, nobody realized how much Lil Baby looks like Jamie Foxx but now, they’re realizing that the two could be inter-generational brothers. They share a lot of the same physical traits, especially their eyes.

Were you fooled?

Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine are two of the biggest legends in the music industry and over the last few decades, they have teamed up to use their profiles for good. During a recent interview with GQ, both men shared details of a plan to build a brand new free high school near USC in California. 

As Iovine explained, this high school will help give kids a much better education that will be tailored to their specific interests.

“We’re starting it right outside of USC,” Iovine shared. “It’s for that neighborhood and it’s going to be free. We’re doing it with Laurene Powell Jobs and XQ and USC…We want to give underrepresented kids an edge…A lot of kids today think it’s not really necessary.”

Dr. Dre went on to say that he kind of hated school as a kid because there was nothing that interested him. With this new school, Dre is hoping to provide kids with a whole new creative outlet. “There was nothing there that I really wanted to learn. In Compton at my particular high school, there was nothing available. This thing that we’re building has everything that I needed,” he said.

With everything going on in the world right now, this was certainly some much-needed good news and we can’t wait to see the plans come to fruition.

Kobe Bryant is undeniably one of the greatest players in the history of the NBA. Unfortunately, Bryant passed away almost four months ago in a tragic helicopter accident that claimed the life of his daughter and seven others. Since then, numerous NBA players have posted tributes in Kobe’s honor and it has become abundantly clear that Bryant’s legacy will live on well past this current generation of players.

Just yesterday, Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson took to Instagram with a small tribute to Kobe. As you can see from the post below, Thompson reminisced about a Kobe skills camp he got to attend while he was in high school. In the post, Thompson makes sure to let people know that Kobe is the greatest of all time.

“One of the greatest experiences of my life was being able to participate in the goats ? skills academy back in HS,” Thompson wrote. “I was so star struck the whole time and couldn’t believe I was on the same hardwood as Bean.”

Clearly, the skills camp worked out quite well for Thompson as he has blossomed into one of the best shooters in the NBA. Kobe would certainly be proud to see him on the court right now.

It’s well-established at this point that students around the world won’t be able to attend their convocation due to the global pandemic that is ravaging the world. The Coronavirus has been a huge disruptor to everyday life and people are trying to get back into all of their routines. While this may take a long time, there are some charitable individuals out there who are looking to make things easier on people while giving back to their respective communities.

This is exactly what LeBron James and Travis Scott are doing as they have teamed up to create a Graduating Class of 2020 shirt that is meant for High Schoolers. The shirt, which can be seen below, is a collab between Uninterrupted and Cactus Jack. You can also see that the words “We’re all in this together” are written on the front and back.

The shirt will be available for three whole days over at SHOP.TRAVISSCOTT.COM and will cost $40 USD. All of the profits will be going to the LeBron James Family Foundation and Feeding Texas. These charities are near and dear to LeBron and Travis’ heart and they will be providing a vital service to those struggling amidst the pandemic.

Over the last few years, the NCAA has come under fire for the way it treats its student-athletes, particularly those who play football and basketball. In retaliation to this, some high school prospects have gone to play for teams that are overseas. In fact, the G-League has even created a new development program for players who would like to go through their system instead of going to college.

This G-League program received a huge win today as it was revealed that number 1 high school prospect Jalen Green would be joining the G-League and foregoing all of his college offers. As ESPN reported today, Green could make upwards of $500K and will be able to train with veteran ballplayers. Needless to say, Green will be in a much better situation and won't have to undergo the college course grind.

Lamar Jackson has proven himself to be one of the most dynamic talents in the NFL and his efforts as the quarterback of the Baltimore Ravens, paid off last season. He won the MVP award while proving himself to be one of the best QBs in the league. Unfortunately, his Ravens were bounced out of the playoffs in the divisional round, despite being favorites to win the Super Bowl. We haven't been able to see Jackson play in two months now and it will be quite a while before he is back out on the field.

Luckily for us, some of his high school highlights recently made their way to social media and we can't get enough of them. The clip below features some incredible moves from Jackson as he dekes out defenders and goes for long runs that result in touchdowns. Based on these highlights, it becomes apparent as to how natural a talent Jackson really is.

A high school principal by the name of Dr. Kim Pendleton is making national news headlines after she announced that she will require students to send her photos of their prom dresses for the school's approval. The head administrator at Southwood High School in Shreveport, Louisiana released a school-wide text message stating that she would require the photos of the formal garments if students wanted to attend their prom in April.  Bethany Clarke/Getty Images

The text message provided thorough details and guidelines for female prom attendees' dress code but failed to mention any rules pertaining to the male students' formal attire. Dr. Pendleton's message states:

"As you begin shopping for your attire, please make sure you do not purchase any clothes that are sheer or revealing in any manner. Also, make sure we do not see excess cleavage or skin. Prior to purchasing an outfit, I will need you to send me a picture of you in the outfit with your name and grade. Once I approve the outfit, you may purchase it. The approved outfit is the only one you will be allowed to wear to prom."

When parents of the students got wind of Dr. Pendleton's prom dress requirements, the message instantaneously found its way to the local Louisana media. The text message has been described as invasive and an impediment to the student's creative expression. NBC News' KTAL received a statement from Caddo Parish Public School district after they began to receive backlash from Dr. Pendleton's prom dress code requirements saying:

"In April, Southwood will host their annual prom and school administration has taken a proactive approach of asking parents for photos ahead of their upcoming event. It is a school-level decision for all formal dress to be approved prior to the event."

The Arizona House of Representatives passed a new bill that if signed into law could potentially ban transgender women from participating in scholastic sporting events. The bill known as the “Save Women’s Sports Act” was introduced by Republican Rep. Nancy Barto, and will require educational institutions to assign sports for males and females based specifically on the persons’ biological sex.

The House Bill 2706 will essentially be applied to grade levels K-12, community college, and universities’ female teams. The “Save Women’s Sports Act” reveals that “a student may establish (their) sex by presenting a signed physician’s statement that indicates the student’s sex” in conjunction with detailed documentation of the student’s DNA analysis. 

The bill was initially introduced on Feb. 3 and passed in the Arizona House of Representatives one month later dividing party lines 31-29 after an emotional hour-long debate this past Tuesday (March 3). In a statement provided to ABC News, Nancy Barto wrote:

“This bill is about fairness. That’s it. What is fair on the field, the court, the track, and in the pool.” 

Barto then went on to list the physical advantages that males have over their female counterparts in regards to muscle mass, testosterone levels, and more. Barton continued:

“That is why we have separated male and female sports. And that is why women have been so successful in achieving greatness on the field, and all the benefits that go with it. What has changed is Interscholastic policies allowing biological males identifying as females to compete on women’s teams.” 

While Barto and the other representatives that state that they want to keep a level playing field amongst school sports, the bill’s opposers claim that it fails to protect LGBTQ kids and transgender youth. However, the bill does have some protective language established within it allowing students to take legal action against scholastic institutions as it states:

“Any student who is deprived of an athletic opportunity or suffers a direct or indirect harm as a result of a violation of this section has a private cause of action for injunctive relief, damages and any other relief available under law against the educational institution.”

While Arizona House Democrats, local businesses, and more have displayed their frustration with the “Save Women’s Sports Act,” the Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA), the state’s governing body for school sports, has procedures in place that allows transgender athletes to compete in sporting events “in a manner that is consistent with their gender identity.”

Arizona might be progressive in regards to marijuana production and consumption, the state still has some work to do in regards to gender identity politics. Check out ABC News official report on Arizona’s “Save Women’s Sports Act” in the video provided below. 

There was much discussed when Lil Baby visited Joe Budden for the music commentator's Pull Up series, but a noteworthy moment is when the Atlanta rapper revealed that he'd received his GED to help him get a shorter sentence before he went to prison. Lil Baby shared that he paid the fee to take the test and he passed his first time around. Then, Budden stated that he doesn't have his GED and shared that he dropped out of school in the ninth grade.

"I might take it one day," said Budden. "I might want to go to college one day... I dropped out of high school in the ninth grade, right. At the time, they said you can go to summer school and make some sh*t up. I dropped out of the summer school and they was like, alright, you can go to [vocational school] and get your GED." 

Budden said he tried that out, as well, but decided to drop out once again. "Then, I was just on some trying to rap sh*t." Budden added, "I think I'm gonna do that. You inspired me." The podcast host did have a few reservations because it's been a while since he had to sit down and take a test such as this. Check out the clip of the exchange between Joe Budden and Lil Baby below.
