Maxo Kream is clearing the air about his recent documented scrap with The Sauce Factory's Rizzoo Rizzoo. Footage of the two Houston rappers throwing hands began circulating earlier this week, but Kream insists that they had no intention of the fight spreading, and explains that they were merely settling a dispute with their fists. On Thursday (May 14th), Kream took to Instagram to address the situation.
View this post on Instagram"So n*ggas hitting my line asking me about what happened yesterday with the fight," Kream began. "Imma tell y’all just like this. What happened was two young black men met up for a disagreement and got it off their chest. It wasn’t supposed to get on the Internet—none of that shit—'cause when you do gangsta shit, ain’t supposed to get to the Internet."
However, he emphasized that no shots were fired. "I’m a big homie," he noted. "So I looked at that like, 'Shit, we got a problem? Pull up, squabble.' We pulled up, it was choppas on their side, choppas on our side. But me being from Houston, bro, and being that a lot of n*ggas really die out here senseless. They look up to Trigger Maxo’s music...I’m like, 'F*ck that shit. Let’s squabble like men.' Put the guns down, put the fists up."

"'Cause that’s a lot of shit that y’all b*tch ass n*ggas nowadays wouldn’t do that," he continues. "'Cause y’all n*ggas supporting snitches and doing lame ass shit and picking up guns. Y’all n*ggas are really catching attempted murder before you catch an ass-whooping." He goes on to shoutout various rappers who have lost their lives to senseless gun violence, including Pop Smoke and Nipsey Hussle, before concluding his message by giving props to his opponent. "Salute Rizzoo 'cause a lot of you n*ggas will not come fight me," Kream declares. "Y’all know how I get down with these hands. So, salute Rizzoo. [He’s a] real n*gga, gangsta. He ain’t no snitch.”
Kanye Or Taylor?: Internet Debates Who The Real Snake Is
After Kanye West and Taylor Swift's full phone call in 2016 about his controversial "Famous" lyrics leaked, the Internet is arguing over who was really in the wrong.
When the full phone conversation between Kanye West and Taylor Swift from 2016, in which he told her about his plans to namedrop her in his then-unreleased song, "Famous," recently leaked, the Internet went into a frenzy. The extended footage of the call, filmed by Kim Kardashian, puts forward some new evidence in Taylor's favour, seemingly proving that she never lied about what Kanye did and didn't tell her about what would be included in the song.

Way back then, Taylor inferred she was offended by Kanye rapping, "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that b*tch famous" on "Famous," and Kim proceeded to expose her for lying by releasing a snippet of the phone call, where Kanye can be heard giving Taylor a heads up about mentioning her in the song. Taylor always maintained that she was aware of the "sex" line but not the "b*tch" line, and this newfound clip seems to support that claim.
The leaked footage has got the Internet divided, with #KanyeWestIsOverParty trending on Twitter as a result. Swifties are purporting Taylor's innocence, Kanye fans are insisting that the clip proves nothing, and everyone else is attempting to approach the situation rationally. On the one hand, some feel that the full conversation proves that Taylor told the truth from the beginning: she was only ever told about the "sex" line.
However, this full-length clip still doesn't make a difference to others, who have decided to stand by Kanye.
Nicki Minaj’s Husband Kenneth Petty Gets Good News
Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty is awaiting trial after failing to register as a sex offender, but he’s learned that he is able to use his cell phone and the internet until then.
Nicki Minaj‘s husband Kenneth Petty, a convicted rapist, landed himself in hot water recently after he was arrested for failing to register as a sex offender. He was released shortly after on a $100,000 bail note, but he is currently awaiting trial to see if he will be forced to spend more time in prison. Until then, he has learned some promising news from the judge as it is now being reported that, despite his ongoing legal case, Petty is allowed to use his cell phone and the internet.
Kenneth Petty was originally convicted in the 90s and, for the rest of his life, he needs to register as a sex offender wherever he lives. The 41-year-old had been living with his wife in the state of California for over six months before the feds caught onto his unregistered status, detaining him and forcing him into another legal battle. It is being reported that Petty has been given some leeway though while he’s out on bail, being given access to his cellular phone and the internet.

What do you make of this situation?

“How you gon’ respect it if it ain’t real?” asked the star. “[His persona] was never real. Doing fake shit got him real time.”

Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson Contracting Coronavirus Has Everyone In Shambles
Tom Hanks broke the news that he and his wife, Rita Wilson, had tested positive for coronavirus in Australia, and the world absolutely lost it.
After news broke that beloved Hollywood couple Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson had contracted coronavirus while visiting Australia, the world was devastated. Tom himself shared a message about their unfortunate circumstances Instagram on Tuesday. While he and Rita are in Australia to film the upcoming Elvis Presley biopic, in which Tom will be playing Colonel Tom Parker, they began to experience flu-like symptoms, and found out that they had tested positive for coronavirus. Maintaining his ever-positive attitude, Tom let everyone know that he and Rita would be following all of the necessary health and safety precautions, including being quarantined.
"Hello, folks," he began. "Rita and I are down here in Australia. We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus, and were found to be positive. Well, now. What to do next? The Medical Officials have protocols that must be followed. We Hanks’ will be tested, observed, and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires. Not much more to it than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no? We’ll keep the world posted and updated. Take care of yourselves! Hanx!" Despite his reassuring tone, everyone began to panic. This rapidly-spreading, deadly disease could not have chosen two more widely adored Hollywood treasures to infect, and the possibility that we could lose them both for good was too much for the Internet to handle.
Coupled with Donald Trump banning travel to the United States from Europe and the NBA's announcement that, essentially, basketball is cancelled, the reality of the coronavirus' impact was too overwhelming.
Future Has Gradually Become A Meme For Every Trending Topic
Future is the ultimate meme fodder for so many trending topics.
It appears as though Future has become a recurring meme for plenty of major trending topics on the Internet. Of course, we're all familiar with the photo of Future looking down at his phone and presumably texting someone that has been turned into a "toxic ex-boyfriend meme" to depict a man trying to lure his way back into his ex's life. The meme first gained traction around the holiday season last year, as it became the perfect way to portray those pesky exes who claim to be feeling festive and sentimental around Thanksgiving and Christmas in order to have an excuse to text you. The reason that Future in particular was crowned the perfect subject for these kinds of occasions is because it is widely believed that the notorious womanizer is likely indulging in similar toxic behaviour, but you didn't hear that from us.

Though the holidays are behind us now, fans are still finding new ways to use the meme to react to various trending topics, and have even turned other media of Future into some hilarious memery.
Trending Topic: World War III
Back in January when everyone was terrified that Donald Trump had lowkey triggered World War III by ordering the assassination of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, the Internet coped the only way it knows how: turned it into a meme. Folks made good use of the toxic ex-boyfriend meme to portray someone using a current world event as an excuse to remind their ex of their past relationship.
Trending Topic: Lena Waithe's Marriage
Back when writer/producer/actress Lena Waithe announced her separation from wife Alana Mayo after just two months of marriage, it was rumoured that Lena had cheated on Alana with Harriet star, Cynthia Erivo. Future's infamous toxicity came in handy once again, as Twitter users compared Lena's adulterous ways to Future by editing a photo of the rapper looking at himself in the mirror.
Trending Topic: Hot Girl Summer
Summer 2019 went down in history as Hot Girl Summer thanks to self-proclaimed Hot Girl, Megan Thee Stallion. However, Future was the frontrunner of the opposing Hot Boys, so when he announced his EP, Save Me, back in June, it looked like Hot Girl Summer had some competition. A clip of Future declaring, "it's an evil world we live in," was used as every Hot Girl's reaction to the realization that the Hot Boys were coming for their downfall.
Trending Topic: NBA Games
One of Future's most well-known catchphrases was born out of an interview with Nardwuar back in 2014, in which he uttered the word, "sensational." Gifs of the moment have been used on the Internet ever since, but it's particularly popular as a reaction to various NBA games. The Toronto Raptors even referenced his famous catchphrase on their official Twitter account to express their sentiments about OG Anunoby's impressive dunk during the Raptors' game against the Washington Wizards in April 2018.
Trending Topic: Custody Battle
Of course, nothing can beat the Future memes during his custody battle with his ex, Ciara. Back in 2016, Future was granted joint custody of their son, Future Jr., despite Ciara's insistence that he was not present in the child's life. The memes were abundant, but the general sentiment was that Future had schemed his way into maintaining custody of Future Jr.
Quavo Pranks Saweetie With The "Broom Challenge" That’s Sweeping The Nation
Quavo attempted to trick Saweetie by participating in the “Broom Challenge,” the latest Internet fad that has everyone putting their broom’s gravitational forces to the test.
People all over the Internet have been participating in “The Broom Challenge,” the latest fad to take over social media. It all began on Monday, February 10th, when one user on Twitter claimed that NASA had announced that that day was the only day that the Earth’s gravitational force was so strong, brooms could stand up on their own. Before we knew it, broomsticks all across the globe were balancing themselves as the supposed force of gravity kept them in place. While it’s since been proven to be a hoax, the challenge has kept the Internet entertained for at least a few days while chaos has ensued in the real world. Even celebrities are partaking in “The Broom Challenge,” and the latest to test out their trusty broom was hip-hop power couple, Quavo and Saweetie.

Joining the ranks of Tory Lanez, Future, Blac Chyna, and more, Quavo shared an Instagram video on Tuesday of his own version of
“The Broom Challenge,” in which he pretends to have magical powers that can control the broom’s actions.In the beginning of the clip, Quavo waits for his girlfriend, Saweetie, to notice that their broom is standing up all on its own right beside her as she does her makeup. Saweetie appears to be uninterested in whatever shenanigans he’s up to, as she asks him to get the broom out of her room. Quavo then tries to make the broom come toward him without touching it, but Saweetie is clearly not impressed. He captioned the post, “Ok The #broomchallenge Ova Wit ? ?,” since Saweetie didn’t exactly fall for his tricks, but followed it up with a comment claiming, “She Think The Broom ? is Witchcraft ??.” Not sure about that one, Quavo, but you get an A for effort.
Stephen A. Smith’s Oscars Analysis Had Twitter Buzzing Last Night
Smith is the hardest working man in America.
Stephen A. Smith is a man of many talents. He is one of the most entertaining sports broadcasters in the world and his work with ESPN's First Take is some of the best we've ever seen. In fact, we recently looked back at some of his best moments as a way to pay homage to a television legend. Smith is currently working for ESPN which means he is a Disney employee. Disney also owns ABC who was doing the live broadcast for the Oscars. With this in mind, Disney thought it would be great to have Stephen A. be a host on the Oscars after show.
Yes, that's right. Stephen A. minus Max Kellerman was giving his hot takes on who should have and shouldn't have won awards. Smith was a bit critical of Bong Joon-Ho's best director win although he did enjoy the foreign film winning best picture.
Once TV viewers saw Smith on their screens, they immediately began to make jokes on Twitter. These jokes mostly centered around how the First Take host was analyzing films as though he was breaking down sports. Overall, the memes were pretty hilarious although they highlighted just how versatile Smith truly is. Whether he's disparaging the good name of Kwame Brown are praising Quentin Tarantino, Smith is always in his element.
Billie Eilish Defends Drake Against Backlash For Texting Her
“The internet is such a stupid-ass mess right now…”
Now that Billie Eilish has become a critical and commercial phenom, the masses have adopted the “protect her at all costs” mentality. This instinct may result in alarms ringing off when there isn’t even a true threat present. When it was revealed that 33-year-old Drake had been texting Eilish, who was 17 years old at the time, the public erupted. Drake was labelled as a creep who had no right talking to girls so young, a concern that was amplified by the fact that he had faced similar criticism for privately communicating with Millie Bobby Brown.
Riding the wave of her Grammy sweep, Eilish has been selected as the March cover star of Vogue. The Drizzy fiasco is broached in her profile and she fumes about the Canadian rapper being treated unfairly. “The internet is such a stupid-ass mess right now,” Eilish said. “Everybody’s so sensitive. A grown man can’t be a fan of an artist? There are so many people that the internet should be more worried about. Like, you’re really going to say that Drake is creepy because he’s a fan of mine, and then you’re going to go vote for Trump? What the fuck is that shit?”
Millie Bobby Brown gave a similar response to the Internet framing her correspondence with Drake in this perverted way. “Why u gotta make a lovely friendship ur headline? U guys are weird… For real,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “Now get back to talking about real problems in this world other than my friendships.”
