LeBron James looked up to Kobe Bryant and when the basketball player passed away alongside his daughter Gianna and seven others in a helicopter crash, LeBron was devastated. Kobe Bryant meant a lot to millions of people around the world and his death is still surreal to many. Yesterday, Kobe and Gianna Bryant were given a public memorial at the Staples Center which was attended by thousands of people. Numerous speeches were given throughout the event, including from Vanessa Bryant who offered a beautiful eulogy of her husband and daughter.

Vanessa's speech has been lauded for its strength and the way in which it was able to move people. Today, LeBron James was asked about the event and what he thought about all of it. While he wouldn't confirm whether or not he attended, LeBron did admit that yesterday was very hard for him. He also made sure to praise Vanessa for her words.

Out of respect for Vanessa Bryant and her family, Beyoncé respectfully changed the lyrics to “one of Kobe’s favorite songs” during the memorial that was held Monday in honor of the late Laker great and his young daughter, Gianna.

Beyonce opened the memorial with a epic performance of a couple of Kobe’s favorite songs, “Halo” & “XO,” the latter of which saw Queen Bey changing up some lyrics out of respect. Swapping the line “and I’m crashing into you” with “and I’m laughing into you” and changing “you kill me boy XO” to “just kiss me boy XO,” Beyoncé respectfully swapped out the inappropriate & ill-timed lyrics and delivered another classic performance backed by an orchestra and chorus. It’s pretty obvious as for why she chose to change the lyrics too with trigger words like “crashing” & “kill me,” but it’s just another example of Bey being the GOAT.

“I’m here because I love Kobe and this was one of his favorite songs, so I want to start that over, but I want us to do it all together and I want you to sing it so loud they hear your love,” Beyonce said before performing her records. After transitioning into a powerful rendition of “Halo,” the superstar finished with the added line, “He will be your, she will be your halo,” a reference to Kobe and Gianna.

Check out the performance (below) and sound off in the comments. RIP Kobe & Gigi.

Of all the cute celebrity kids on social media, Royalty Brown, Chris Brown‘s daughter, is definitely a frontrunner in the race to find out who is the most adorable child with a bank account larger than the rest of us. Some of the mini-Kardashians are in the running, while 50 Cent’s son Sire Jackson is also a pretty safe bet. However, RoRo has been racking up likes on her daddy’s page for nearly six years, earning her the top spot. She just solidified her ranking too with a heartwarming photo that her father took while shopping for cowboy hats.

Decked out in her full Western-inspired gear, Royalty Brown made Lil Nas X (and the entire country music community) quake by donning embroidered boots, a big belt buckle, a plaid shirt, light indigo jeans, and a big ‘ole hat atop her dome. She flashed the biggest smile you’ve ever seen, looking proud of her all-out ensemble. 

Breezy went on to refer to his daughter as a “country girl,” calling her “Old Town Ro” in the caption. This is easily one of the cutest pictures that has ever been uploaded to CB’s page, racking up nearly 300,000 likes in less than twenty-four hours. 

With a newborn son, Chris Brown has been spending equal amounts of time with his two little ones, sharing adorable shots of them both on his social platforms. Take a look at the picture in question below.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is accused of cheating on his wife with a 20-year old Ohio woman, who claims she hooked up with the newly married man in the parking lot of a Cheesecake Factory. Kacie Dingess alleges that she first caught Mayfield’s attention when she sent him a Snapchat video from a preseason tailgate party back in August, a month after Baker and Emily Mayfield tied the knot.

During an interview with Cleveland radio show “Rover’s Morning Glory” earlier this month, Dingess described in detail how she and Mayfield exchanged photos online before ultimately arranging a meet up. She also showed the radio hosts nude photos that Baker allegedly sent her.

“He kept texting me, saying like, ‘Send me pictures’ and blah, blah, blah,” she claimed (H/T US Magazine). “We were texting for a while, and then he was like, ‘OK, come see me.’ So I got in my car and I drove all the way to Westlake, and it was like behind Cheesecake Factory in some weird development parking lot. And so he texted me when I was on my way there and he was like, ‘You have to leave your phone in the car.’”

Once inside Mayfield’s SUV, Dingess claims that the two hopped in the backseat and she performed oral sex on him.

“[When] I left, I was like, ‘Good doing business with you’ — like, joking around,” she recounted (H/T US Magazine). “And he was like, ‘Don’t say that!’ And I was like, ‘I’m just kidding.’ And then I lost my Juul in his car and we had to look for that for a few minutes. He was like, ‘OK, well, drive safe,’ and I was like, ‘OK, see ya.’”

So if this incident did actually occur, why is she coming forward now? She explained to the radio hosts that Mayfield blocked her on twitter, which led her to out him as a cheater. 

Although some basketball analysts predicted the Toronto Raptors would tank this season after losing Kawhi Leonard, the defending NBA Champions are actually striving, going on a historic winning spree and enjoying one of the best records in the association. Drake is affiliated with the team, always popping up in his courtside seats when he's in T-Dot. Lately, he debuted a new look and, while it got clowned by Lil Baby and a few of his other friends, the ladies are absolutely digging it. Yes, we're talking about his very shiny diamond earrings.

Well it appears the long awaited album from Boosie Badazz and NBA Youngboy is almost here. The Louisiana rapper recently revealed on IG live that the album is “almost done” and that they only need a couple more songs to wrap it up.

“I don’t drop mixtapes, man. Stop saying that shit,” Boosie replied to a fan in a Q&A who asked about the collaboration. “We ain’t dropping no mixtape, it’s an album. I get paid off my music. I don’t drop mixtapes. I drop albums. I ain’t giving shit away. We gon’ drop that bitch. We got about two, three more songs to do. I want to do about 13 songs. We got nine already.”

Boosie first teased the joint project last Summer while NBA YoungBoy was still locked up on a probation violation for his involvement in a South Florida shooting. “FREE @nba_youngboy #shakeback them kids need you young nigga real talk ❤️❤️❤️✅✅✅✅ #atlanticrecords WE GOT A TAPE THATS ? LETS TALK N GET THIS SHIT TO THE STREETS N MAKE SOME MONEY ?‼️” Boosie wrote on Instagram.

YoungBoy Never Broke Again is fresh off the heels of his latest album, Still Flexin Still Steppin, which features 14 songs and a guest appearance from Quando Rondo. Stream that right here and we’ll keep you posted on the upcoming joint project. 

Who else would you like to see NBA Youngboy do a project with?

Birdman has always held Nicki Minaj at high regard but it sounds like he wants the rest of the rap game to do the same. Speaking to B. Dot with MTV News, Birdman spoke about the reign of Cash Money ahead of their new Spotify series, “New Cash Order.” Regardless of how you feel about Baby’s business practices, you can’t deny that his ear for talent in unmatched and Nicki Minaj is a prime example of that.

“Honestly, I don’t think Nicki gets the credit she deserves. I come in an era when females, it was hard for ’em. She come broke the chain. Nicki broke the cycle for females,” he said. “Nicki did more than any female artist, ever. And you have a lot of great artists before Nicki Minaj. But Nicki Minaj changed the game for females. “

He then went on to explain Nicki Minaj’s work ethic. “Nicki used to be in the studio with nine, ten n***as every night with us in Miami,” he said. “Every single night, putting in the body of work to become who she became. So, I don’t think Nicki gets the credit she deserves, but you know, time tells all.”

Nicki’s undoubtedly shifted the game in her own right but perhaps the next studio album she releases will gain her the respect and recognition that Birdman believes she should receive. 

More than 20,000 people packed the Staples Center on Monday for the Kobe and Gianna Bryant memorial service, including NBA and WNBA legends past and present, musicians, celebrities and fans. According to ESPN, more than 80,000 people entered a random drawing for the chance to purchase tickets to the service, but only a fraction actually got through.

Those who were fortunate enough to be in attendance received a special edition t-shirt and program, both featuring memorable photos taken of the Laker legend and his daughter. While most Kobe fans will cherish those items forever, others have taken to eBay in an attempt to cash in.

LeBron James’ Nike LeBron 7 is considered to be one of the best sneakers in the aforementioned player’s signature line. The shoe is celebrating its 10th anniversary and Nike has been pulling out all of the stops in order to give fans some much-needed nostalgia. A wide variety of Nike LeBron 7’s have been re-released over the last little while and now, yet another is coming back into the fold. Of course, we are talking about the Nike LeBron 7 which was made in honor of Fairfax High School.

The sneaker features a black upper with yellow and red accents all the way throughout. For instance, the large Nike swoosh on the side is yellow with a red outline. Meanwhile, the laces are red all while Fairfax is written in yellow and red on the medial side.  The Air Max unit on the bottom is also red which adds to the overall motif. Thanks to @youngtee on Instagram, we now have a better sense of what this collab will look like.

According to Sole Collector, these kicks will cost $200 USD with the rumored release date pegged for Friday, March 6th. Let us know in the comments below what you think of this model and whether or not you plan on copping.
