Bill Cosby's sentencing shifted the narrative surrounding the now-disgraced comedian. America's Dad went from being one of the most championed figured in entertainment to a convicted sex offender. In the world of hip-hop, many artists that represented a culture Cosby was vehemently against championed him in wake of the #MeToo movement. Snoop Dogg has been among those who've called for Cosby's freedom.

Following the backlash surrounding Gayle King's interview with Lisa Leslie, Snoop Dogg called her out on claims that she was putting down her own people while calling for Bill's freedom. Even though Bill Cosby gave Snoop Dogg a nod of approval for standing up for him, Jemele Hill reminded Snoop of Bill's victims including the account made by Beverly Johnson. She also reminded Snoop of Cosby's previous disparaging stance on rappers and Black men who listen to rap.

"I love you bro, but please remember that Bill Cosby also victimized black women. Beverly Johnson, the first black supermodel, wrote a compelling account of how Bill Cosby drugged her and tried to rape her. This also was the same dude telling people that black men didn’t deserve any respect because they wore their pants too low, and listened to hip hop. I’m glad he was able to present a positive picture of a black Dad, but he also was very anti-black in other parts of his life," she wrote. 

Peep her comments below.

Aside from Michael Jackson and the Jackson family, Freddie Gibbs is the biggest export out of Gary, Indiana. He’s told a few stories about Michael Jackson returning to Gary in the past but apparently, his connection to MJ is a bit deeper than just sharing the same hometown.

Freddie Gibbs paid a visit to Jemele Hill’s Unbothered podcast. It may surprise most considering their short-lived Twitter spat following Jay-Z’s decision to partner with the NFL. The two addressed their back-and-forth at the beginning of the podcast but Jemele Hill got the exclusive drop on Freddie Gibbs’ dad’s rivalry with the late King of Pop.

“My dad was trying to be in music his whole life pretty much, I would say. Like he was a singer. Matter of fact, Michael Jackson beat that n***a in that god damn talent show and went on to be Michael Jackson, and that mothafucka hasn’t been the same since. He’s mad about that shit,” he said. Freddie explained that his father and Michael Jackson were the same age and they were known in Gary as the two kids who could sing.

“So, Michael Jackson was your dad’s rival?” Jemele asked.

“Yeah, damn near. Hell yeah,” Freddie replied with a maniacal laugh. “Aye, Mike was fuckin’ that n***a up, though, man. I be tellin that n***a, when I was little when Mike videos come on, I be like, ‘See, Mike fuckin’ you up, n***a. You can’t f*ck with Mike.’ And he’d be like, ‘Fuck you, lil’ n***a. And fuck Mike.’ And I be like, ‘You can sing your ass off but that n***a Mike can dance. Mike white now, n***a. You can’t turn white, n***a. You can’t do all the shit that Mike do. Mike got a monkey, n***a… I went against my daddy for Mike.”
