Lil Wayne dropped his 13th studio album, Funeral, on Friday, after some teasing this past week, and the project is absolutely stacked. Not only did Lil Tunechi deliver 24 new tracks for our listening pleasure, he also tapped 9 different artists to feature on the album, including Big Sean, 2 Chainz, Lil Baby, Jay Rock, XXXTentacion, Takeoff, and more. Wayne even revealed that he left a 24-second moment of silence at the end of the album to honour the late Kobe Bryant following his tragic death on Sunday.

Funeral was met with excitement from fans on Twitter, who, for the most part, could agree that the project was fire.

Joe Rogan, host of the wildly popular Joe Rogan Experience, recently found himself on the receiving end of a media and Twitter-led thrashing. The reason being that he claimed he would be voting for Bernie Sanders. Sanders himself seized the opportunity to share the endorsement on his Twitter page, and like that Pandora’s box flung ajar. Now, speaking with comedian Mark Normand, Rogan took a moment to reflect on the situation.

“They’re using me to make him look bad,” begins Joe, speaking on the matter for the first time. “That he used my endorsement. I had no idea they were going to do that. And all I said was I’d probably vote for him. Here’s a really important point — I’m a fuckin’ moron. If you’re basing who you’re going to vote for president based on what I like? I’m not that balls deep into the stuff.” He also comments on how the masses did exactly what he predicted in the initial video, cherrypicking select quotes and points in order to paint him in an unflattering light. “It’s hard to do that with Bernie, cause he’s a very consistent guy.”

“Fuckin’ CNN printed something saying I was homophobic and transphobic and there’s a clip they’re using that’s completely out of context,” he continues. “If you’re a trans person listening to this, I got nothing but love for you…This had to do with fighting.” He explains that the video in question centers around controversial a MMA fighter who spent transitioned to become a woman after thirty years. “She started fighting women in MMA and didn’t tell them that she used to be a man,” explains Joe. “Smashing girls. Literally broke a girl’s skull, broke her face. And was kind of bragging about it, hyping up her MMA career.”

“If she disclosed it and everybody knew, I’m a hundred percent in favor,” he says. “If you’re a woman who wants to fight a trans woman and see how you do.” He maintains that he isn’t transphobic in the slightest, and spoke only of athletics in that particular situation. “In terms of your gender identity and what you want to do, I don’t care!” As for the accusations of homophobia, Rogan makes his case. “I love gay people,” he maintains. “But I make fun of them.” 

Though the narrative certainly might have painted Rogan in a negative light, he reveals that many actually came forward in support. “Psychology Today wrote an article about how the media is gaslighting [me],” says Joe. “Have I said stupid shit? A hundred percent. I’ve done fourteen hundred plus podcasts, a lot of them high. I said a bunch of stupid stuff – I like to say inappropriate words, because we’re comics. It doesn’t mean I’m homophobic or racist or sexist or transphobic. It’s just not true.” He proceeds to recognize the influence of his own podcast, to the point where its influence cannot be denied. “I don’t think I want to have anything to do with politics after this.”

If you’re a major fan of Summer Walker then you’re probably aware of her other Instagram account, @galactawhore. The 23-year-old “Playing Games” singer debuted her alternative feed months ago, making it clear that it’s a destination for more explicit posts and updates on topics she’s interested in outside of music. “Attached to nothing connected to everything, Sci fi,” the bio for her account reads.

If you’ve been following the account before today, you would have seen some sexy shares of Summer and funny moments with her friends and her man London On Da Track. However, times have seemingly changed since Summer has taken a vow to be more wholesome when it comes to her posting habits. The new move came after she posted a risqué photo of her ass, then quickly changed her mind, deleting almost all past images she had on her feed in an effort to be more like Ayesha Curry. 

“Galactawhore has been temporarily shut down,” she wrote. “Will re-open once I learn how to walk in the wholesome spirit of Ayesha Curry. This could take a while. Have a blessed day.” Summer then followed up by sharing images of Ayesha that sees her looking like the perfect housewife with her three children. While it’s clear to assume that Summer’s fans will miss her eccentric updates, London On Da Track expressed that he will too when he commented “nooo” on her post. 

Back in December, Offset launched his series, Bet With Set, where he faces off against celebrity guests “in a high-stakes competition with unpredictable and fun outcomes that change from week to week.” The Migos member hosted NFL wide receivers Dez Bryant and Mike Williams on the show, which broadcasts on the streaming service, Caffeine. On Thursday, Offset returned with the latest episode of Bet With Set, and shared a very mistake-ridden promo video to let us know.

In the clip, Offset attempts to tell his fans about the new episode, but interrupts himself by messing up on each take. In between relaying important information like where the live episode will be shot (Miami), when it will be streaming (Thursday, Janaury 30th) and who the guests will be (Slim Jxmmi, Machine Gun Kelly, and fellow Migos members Quavo and Takeoff), Offset manages to fumble every line. He keeps the producers and camera crew entertained with these tongue twisters, though, and even cracks a joke that the final special guest will be “your momma.”

Offset was recently detained in L.A. after he was mistaken for a man reported to be carrying a firearm. He was ultimately released from police custody on Thursday, although two members of his entourage were booked on firearms charges. Soon after this misunderstanding, Offset was involved in another altercation in Miami on Friday. The rapper started swinging at a man in a strip club after he sprayed champagne all over Cardi B. He was reportedly held back by security.

After keeping a fairly low profile for awhile, Nicki Minaj has reappeared in all of our lives as she jumped back onto the scene this week. Following a public dispute with ex-boyfriend, Meek Mill, alongside her husband, Kenneth Petty, Nicki reappeared on Instagram this week to share her first post in months. Not only did she return to social media, but the Queen also continued to shut down her alleged retirement from music with her feature on Meghan Trainor's new single, "Nice To Meet Ya." To top it all off, she announced she'd be a serving as a guest judge on season 10 of RuPaul's Drag Race.

Now that Nicki's next era is upon us, a clip of her from over a year ago has resurfaced as the latest viral meme. The simple video shows Nicki standing up from her seat at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2018 to accept the Best Hip-Hop Music Video award while "Chun-Li" plays in the background. The way she takes a second to actually get up and then proceeds to stroke on of her pigtails has people producing some content that is just pure gold. Check out the funniest uses of the meme on Twitter:

The Los Angeles Lakers are set to host the Portland Trail Blazers Friday night at the Staples Center in what will be the team's first game since learning the news of Kobe Bryant’s tragic death.

To pay tribute, the Lakers organization is passing out shirts in honor of Bryant. Hours before tip off, local reporters obtained photos of inside the Staples Center with shirts draped all over the seats. Representing the Laker home jersey, half the stadium will receive #24 shirts, while the other half will rock #8, that according to USA Today’s Sandy Hooper.

Beyoncé has been blessing all her famous friends (and former foes) with her new Ivy Park x Adidas line, and the latest celebrity she's bestowed one of those famous orange boxes on was her buddy Diddy...or so he thought. Bey continued her recent promotional trend of sending pieces from the collection in a massive box covered in an orange fabric, which almost every lucky recipient has filmed themselves removing to reveal the contents inside in an "unboxing" video. Diddy was of course familiar with the process, so when he saw that Bey had deemed him worthy of receiving some Ivy Park duds, he made sure that the unveiling was caught on camera. In a video shared by Roxy Bacardi on her Instagram story, Diddy can be seen opening his box in an almost ceremonious manner, his excitement palpable through the screen. However, once Diddy finally gets a look at the garments Bey sent, his delight quickly turns to disappointment.

While Larsa Pippen is still on the hunt for “the one,” the 45-year-old mother of four is reminding her followers and those possibly interested that she’s been a hot girl from the jump. Larsa hopped on Instagram to share a throwback image of when she was just the tender age of 19, rocking a stylish one-piece red bikini on the beach. The image shows her flawless frame and face. “My sister sent me this pic of me when I was 19,” she wrote alongside the image.

By no surprise, the post pulled in all kinds of reactions. “Wow!!!! Hottie before and Now!!”  Victoria’s Secret model, Shanina Shaik wrote, while someone else commented, “Come on !!! That’s illegal ??. So stunning. ❤️.”

Larsa was formerly married to NBA player Scottie Pippen and after she re-filed for a divorce in 2018, she finally broke her silence surrounding rumours of infidelity on her part. “Ppl are so insensitive to my life. I’m a lover and will never say anything negative about him. My soul isn’t built for negativity,” she wrote. “I’ll take a beating publicly. Ppl saying I cheated when believe me it wasn’t like that.”

She added: “He was no where around. I cried oceans after him. I would do anything for him. Ppl saying I’m a gold digger is inane. I don’t care about money. I’ve had it my whole life.”

Considering how long Fabolous and former Love & Hip Hop: New York star Emily Bustamante, or Emily B, have been together, it makes sense that he would see no need to have any bad blood with a man from Emily’s past at this point—especially the man Emily’s daughter, Taina Williams, calls dad. Taina, who is known for dating G Herbo, shared a sweet birthday message on Instagram for her biological dad, whose name is not widely known, on Thursday. On the photo set, which includes a throwback shot of Taina and her dad from when she was a little girl, and a more recent picture of the two of them posing together, Taina wished her dad a happy birthday. “Always daddy’s little girl #twins,” she wrote in the caption, and she’s not wrong about the “twins” part.

Fabolous also took the opportunity to wish Taina’s dad a good one, commenting on the post, “Happy Bday Head ?” Fab was praised in the replies for his maturity as well as for showing respect for his step-daughter’s biological father. The shoutout feels somewhat reminiscent of the Lenny Kravitz-Zoe Kravitz-Jason Momoa family dynamic.

Taina recently hit up Jamaica with Lori Harvey and a gang of pals to celebrate Lori’s 23rd birthday. Their girl squad was the talk of the town as they took over Instagram with their sizzling bikini shots posing in the rented mansion.

The sheer number of people invested in Lori Harvey’s personal life is pretty concerning, to say the least. For over a year, the model has been followed by paparazzi and gossip blogs who are trying to find out what (and specifically who) she’s doing. The daughter of Steve and Marjorie Harvey has been romantically linked to Diddy, Diddy’s son, Trey Songz, and a number of other powerful figures in the entertainment business. While she prefers to keep her mouth shut regarding any potential rumors she gets caught up in, her recent activity with Future has brought out a change in behavior for the star. The two are happily claiming each other, posting one another on social media and allowing the media to run with some pretty crazy stories. While we still haven’t heard anything about the engagement rumors between Harvey and Future, the model is certainly catching looks from around the world, posing in a g-string thong, posting the picture to Instagram, and then deleting it after deeming it a little too sexy.

As reported by OK! Magazine, Lori Harvey recently posted a since-deleted photo of herself flaunting some major sex appeal. She wore a black crop top, snakeskin trousers, and a black thong, which was on display for her audience to fawn over. According to the publication, there were a number of comments tagging Future and praising him for ending up with such a baddie.

Why do you think she deleted it? Too hot for the internet? Peep it below, reposted on another page.
