Machine Gun Kelly said "sayonara" to a racist fan after they told him he'd lost their support because he was attending a protest for George Floyd. For several days now, folks have taken to the streets to protest the unjust murder of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis. One such protester fighting for the end of police brutality and racial injustice was Machine Gun Kelly, who was seen attending the protests in L.A. MGK has been very vocal since George Floyd's murder, taking to Twitter to denounce "white privilege," "the system," and "the Boyz" (cops). He also happily bid adieu to one of his fans who appeared not to support the Black Lives Matter movement.

"On my way to the protest," MGK tweeted on Saturday (May 30th). "See you out there." A troll then felt the need to reply to the tweet, telling MGK that he was "on my way to delete all your albums now." This did not bother the rapper/singer in the slightest; in fact, he told the former fan, "good, i don’t want your racist money."

Forbes recently released a scathing and rather surprising expose on the wealth of Kylie Jenner, reneging on their claim that she’s the youngest self-made billionaire after apparently going through her finances in detail and finding inconsistencies. Nonetheless, that hasn’t stopped the wealth-tracking publication to include her as the highest-paid celebrity of 2020– her wealth is still staggering regardless.

Today, the publication shared their annual rankings of the highest paid celebrities, which includes celebs from different avenues of the entertainment industry and pop culture at large– from sports celebrities to musicians and more.

All he wanted to do was buy some items, but instead, DaBaby was given a lecture. The North Carolina artist recently relayed a story on his Instagram where he shared a recent encounter with a man who he attempted to make a large purchase from. A mix-up caused DaBaby’s card to be declined, but instead of correcting the situation, the man, who DaBaby refers to as “buddy,” told the rapper he should be “embarrassed.”

“[I] ordered som sh*t and paid for it over the phone. The total came out to like, a thousand and twenty-four dollars,” the rapper said. “I got the zip code wrong on my billing address. And buddy he cussed me out and called me broke and refused to get the correct zip code from me. He told me, he said, ‘Let me give you some advice, brother. If you’re gonna steal people’s cards and steal people’s information, go buy shoes or something that you can resell and get money off of. At least make money. Don’t call and try to get a thousand dollars worth of stuff. Like seriously, what are you gonna do with this? What are you doing? I would be embarrassed of myself if I was you.”

DaBaby shared that he didn’t correct the man on the other end, he just said “okay sir” and ended the conversation. “Never judge a book by its cover,” the rapper added. “I ain’t even cuss buddy out. I didn’t hang up on his, either. I had a heart to heart with him and just… okay brother. You have a good day. I wish you the best of luck with your business. Just called somebody else.” Watch DaBaby share his story below.

No matter where you stand on the matter, one truth cannot be denied — TikTok’s impact on the music industry as a whole is disturbingly high. Aside from turning artists into sketch comedy stars, it has also delivered the perfect means for sampling new songs. Even breathing life into older ones. In any case, the bait has been set, and Jason Derulo has never looked back. And given that the bag is, by his own admission, massive, it’s unlikely that he won’t be stepping away from the app anytime soon – -at least if his conversation with TMZ is any indication.

“It is something you can really make a killing off of,” admits Derulo, who recently achieved TikTok fame through his toothless antics. “It can be anybody, you don’t even have to be famous or a singer. You can literally be in your space.” He also explains that “TikTok literally runs the music industry. It’s kinda ironic that this went for me the way that it did. The most poppin songs on TikTok are the most poppin songs in the world.”

“I like to diversify,” admits Derulo, about his own page. “I’m going to be introducing a new character pretty soon. An alter-ego of myself. I’ma keep this thing fun, for real. Really go there and try to one-up myself every time.” Though he isn’t ready to spoil the surprise, he does tease there may be a costume involved. “It’s more action than you would expect. It’s not a funny thing, it’s more like superhero action.”

Check out the video below, and sound off — have you stared deep into the abyss that is TikTok? And more importantly, has it stared back into you?

While The Game has had a rough go this year, having recently been on the receiving end of an unfortunate legal blow, he’s not about to respond by sulking in the corner. Instead, Game has decided to come forward and put his money on the table in the name of a righteous cause. Taking to Instagram, the rapper confirmed that he would be teaming with Go Giveaways to provide four of his fans with twenty-thousand dollars apiece.

“Check it out, I’m giving away twenty-thousand dollars to four people,” begins Game. “COVID-19, everybody in the house. Everybody can use some extra cash, man. All you gotta do is follow @gogiveaways_official right now on the Gram.” As he tells it, there’s very little else to do other than follow the steps presented in the announcement post. “Twenty-thousand dollars, who can’t use it?” he ponders, as rhetorical a question as ever.

Should you feel like giving it a try, head over to the Go Giveaways IG page, follow all 80 of the pages they are following, share it to your story and tag one of your friends in the comments. After that, Game himself will pick a winner — it should be noted that the contest is reserved for those eighteen and older. Check out the full list of details below, and sound off. Have you any interest in partaking in the Game’s challenge?

Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson has been in the game for decades. He knows the ins and outs of the music business and he's got tons of knowledge to share with up-and-coming rappers. Taking Tekashi 6ix9ine under his wing two years ago, the two formed a father-son bond that seemingly involved some secret sharing on 50's part.

As alleged by Sara Molina, 6ix9ine's ex-girlfriend, 50 Cent taught the rapper how to hide money. While that is not the most honest practice in the world, it's beneficial if you're raking in millions upon millions and want to save on taxes and other annual fees. Surprisingly enough, Jackson actually admitted to helping out 6ix9ine with that, taking to Twitter and assuming ownership.

Reposting a headline about the claims, 50 confirmed that he gave 6ix9ine the tricks of the trade.

"Yeah she will never find it, and i’ll show them my Taxes right after Trump. LOL," wrote the entrepreneur.

Michael Jordan is one of the most successful athletes of all-time and will forever be known as one of the greatest players to ever do it. He is also insanely rich as his net worth is over $2 billion. When you have that much money, you are able to pick and choose whichever endorsements you believe are worth your time. Thanks to MJ's profile, he is constantly being hit up with huge opportunities although he doesn't always accept them.

Earlier this week, we reported on how MJ once turned down a $100 million deal even though it only required about two hours of his time. Now, Jordan's son Marcus is weighing in on this matter, noting that the company should have reached out to him as he would have had a lot more leverage with his father.

Over the past few weeks, you have probably heard about the “All In Challenge” in relation to the Coronavirus. Essentially, numerous celebrities are participating in the challenge as a way to raise funds for those who have been negatively affected by the pandemic. Ciara and Russell Wilson are among those who have taken part in the festivities and recently, they launched an auction in which the highest bidder would be able to go on a double-date with them.

According to TMZ, the top bid for this prize was $32,000. However, as the day went on, bidders continued to top each other, and eventually, the winner of the date ended up spending $240,000. Clearly, this person really wanted the chance to meet Ciara and the Seahawks quarterback.

If you’re reading this article, you are probably at home right now thinking to yourself about just how insane that number is. While this may be true, it is important to note that the money will be going to people who need it which is really all that matters. Not to mention, a fan will be getting the experience of a lifetime. It’s a figure that hurts nobody except maybe the bank account of the highest bidder.

With this story in mind, it begs the question: how much would you pay to meet some celebrities?

Spotify is offering their subscribers the chance to “tip” their favourite artists with the new Artist Fundraising Pick feature, in which fans can donate to an artist’s COVID-19 relief fundraiser of choice, or send some money to the artist directly. The streaming service launched this new initiative on Wednesday, in an effort to “support artists and the creative community who have been deeply impacted by the effects of the devastating virus” and “provid[e] the global reach of Spotify to artists who are fundraising during this challenging time.” By clicking on the feature, which appears on each artist’s page highlighting “COVID-19 support,” fans can “make a contribution” to the artist’s fundraising method of choice.

“First and foremost, this feature enables artists who are interested in raising money to support themselves, their bands, or their crews, to get the word out to their fans on their Spotify artist profiles,” Spotify announced in a blog post about the initiative. “We have a strong group of initial fundraising partners: Artists can choose to add a link to Cash App, GoFundMe, and PayPal.me.” Artists also have the option to “select any of the verified organizations participating in the Spotify COVID-19 Music Relief project” as their fundraising choice.

“Given the urgency and impact of the COVID-19 crisis, we’re working as quickly as we can to develop this new product and get it out to as many artists as possible,” the blog post reads. “However, we’ve never built a fundraising feature like this before. We consider this a first version that will evolve as we learn how to make it as helpful as possible for the music community.”
