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.”
Jeff Bezos On Pace To Become World’s First Trillionaire Because Of Coronavirus
People are outraged after learning that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is likely to become the world's first trillionaire.
Jeff Bezos has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. The Amazon owner has been under fire during the pandemic for his treatment of the company's warehouse employees and delivery drivers. His net worth reportedly grew by approximately $30 billion in the last two months, because of increased online orders during COVID-19, and he is poised to become the world's first trillionaire as a result.
Despite his obvious ability to keep Amazon running while being more than ethical to his employees, Bezos responded to his pandemic success by ending hazard pay increases for warehouse and delivery workers on the frontlines.
His name was trending on Twitter today and the vast majority of commenters are screaming "EAT THE RICH" as they reflect on Bezos' clear capitalist focus.
Alex Wong/Getty Images"This is immoral," said Elizabeth Warren in response to Bezos cutting his workers' hazard pay. "Here's unfettered capitalism at work," added Bernie Sanders.
As it stands, Jeff Bezos is looking to become a trillionaire before 2026.
Despite how this pandemic has ruined the economy, it's great to see that billionaire Jeff Bezos is doing better than ever. This is a reminder that nobody should be able to accumulate such wealth. Nobody needs a trillion dollars, for real.

Kanye West’s Former Bodyguard Recalls All The Rapper’s "Ridiculous Rules"
Kanye West’s former bodyguard, Steve Stanulis, dished on all the rapper’s “ridiculous rules” and told the story of his tense first day on the job.
Steve Stanulis, former bodyguard for stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and Kanye West, detailed his less-than-pleasant experience with the rapper, indicating that Ye was “one of my least favourite people to work with over the course of time.” Steve recently spoke to Dax Holt and Adam Glyn on their podcast, Hollywood Raw, disclosing his various experiences working with different celebrities. During their chat, Steve dished about Kanye, whom he said made him follow a ton of “ridiculous rules.”

“The first day I met him,” Steve recalled. “It was fashion week. I was supposed to meet him at the studio. When he gets there, we get into the elevator and he’s says ‘aren’t you going to push what floor we are going to?’ I was like ‘I have no idea what floor, it’s my first day.’ So he starts ranting ‘So you mean you didn’t call ahead to find out where I’m supposed to be going?” I said ‘no.’”

“So he’s ranting and raving,” he continued. “So I said ‘look, bro, we can do this one of three ways. One, you could tell me what button to press, and now I’ll know. Two, you could press the button, and I’ll see which one you press so I’ll know. Or three, you can sit in here all day and tell me how important your time is and we are not going to go anywhere.’ Again, that was our first interaction,” the bodyguard reminded the hosts. “He went for the first option.” Although Steve does credit Kanye as the hardest working client he had, he also says that he was “the neediest and moodiest,” and the “worst tipper.”

“He wanted you to stay 10 paces behind him on a city street,” Steve revealed. “So obviously if someone is going to come up and do something, by the time I try to run up and prevent it, it would have already happened.” He also insists that Kanye and his wife, Kim Kardashian, must call the paps on themselves. “First of all, there’s no way [paparazzi] doesn’t get called upfront,” Stanulis claimed. “There’s no way every time they are leaving, all these people know about it. There’s definitely somebody calling ahead. That’s just my opinion…I’m just saying it’s coincidental that wherever we are, they’re always there. Maybe they’re just better than I think they are.” Listen to the full episode of Hollywood Raw with Steve Stanulis here.

Karlie Redd’s Ex Mo Fayne Arrested On $2 Million Bank Fraud Charges
Karlie Redd’s ex-fiancée Mo Fayne was reportedly arrested after he took out a COVID-19 small business loan and allegedly spent it on himself.
The government doesn’t play about its money. The pandemic has caused tens of millions of people to lose their jobs and income, so governments worldwide have implemented policies to help individuals, especially small business owners, during this difficult time. Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star Mo Fayne, who gained popularity while dating Karlie Redd, has reportedly been arrested on charges of federal bank fraud after he allegedly used a $2 million loan to purchase lavish gifts for himself.
Paras Griffin / Contributor / Getty ImagesAccording to a report made by TMZ, Mo Fayne took out a small business Paycheck Protection loan that was put in place as funds for COVID-19 relief. Fayne was able to obtain $2 million for his company Flame Trucking, but authorities reportedly state that instead of using the chunk of change to keep his business afloat, he made a number of expensive purchases.
The reality television star reportedly paid off a few debts, paid $40K toward his child support, and bought himself $85K worth of jewelry including “a Rolex Presidential watch, a diamond bracelet, and a 5.73-carat diamond ring.” Things didn’t end there; when federal authorities sat down with Fayne and questioned him about the cash, he admitted to “kinda, sorta, not really” spending a portion of the money on buying himself a 2019 Rolls-Royce.
When Fayne applied for the loan last month, he said that his company had 107 employees and that their monthly payroll was approximately $1.5 million. When he was arrested, officers “found a bag with about $70,000 in cash and another $9,400 stuffed in his pockets.”
Khloe Kardashian Blasts Tristan Thompson Pregnancy Rumors
Khloe Kardashian goes off on Twitter to deny rumors that she is pregnant with ex Tristan Thompson's child.
Khloe Kardashian is reportedly not expecting another child with ex Tristan Thompson despite a rumor that began spreading Wednesday morning.
The internet was buzzing on Wednesday morning when a rumor began to swirl that Khloe was having another daughter with her NBA ex, who infamously was caught cheating on her with Jordyn Woods. Fans noticed that the star was posting lots of throwback photos, and thus speculated she was indeed expecting again.
Khloe, who was trending on Twitter, received immense backlash from the internet, with one user writing “Khloe Kardashian really tried to ruin Jordyn Woods life because Tristan kissed her to then go running back to him to have another child with him?? Make it make sense.”
Khloe took to Twitter Wednesday afternoon to deny the rumor, writing "I don’t go on social platforms much these days AND this is one of the main reasons as to why I stay away. The sick and hurtful things people say. I am disgusted by so many things I am seeing. SMH people swear they know everything about me. Including my uterus. Sick."
She continued, "The nasty things you’re saying about me over A RUMOR! I have seen many hurtful/despicable stories and tweets about me over a false story. And if it were true….it’s MY LIFE, NOT YOURS."
The 35-year-old reality star currently shares one daughter with Thompson, 2-year old True, and split from him last year. The NBA star has yet to comment on the matter.

Post Malone Classes Up With Major Wine Announcement
Post Malone announces the launch of his new rosé, Maison No. 9, which will be available this summer.
When you picture Post Malone in your head, you likely see him with a can of Bud Light in one hand and a cigarette between his lips. While he loves to get down on the weekend with a nice cold can of beer, the 24-year-old recording artist also has a refined taste for the finer things in life.
Today, he’s announcing his most recent project, launching a French rosé called Maison No. 9.
Not many people would associate Post Malone with a relaxing glass of wine. However, the man has kept some secrets over the years and this must be one of them.
The idea was established a combination of Post Malone’s love of the Mediterranean lifestyle and a best-in-class winery. The rosé will launch this summer through a partnership between the rapper, his manager Dre London, and his friend James Morrissey of Global Brand Equities.
“Rosé is for when you want to get a little fancy,” says Post. “It’s a nice switch up and I have been thinking about doing my own wine for a while. It was great to work with Global Brand Equities because they saw the vision and we got to do some super cool stuff. Maison No. 9 goes down smooth, and you’re all going to love it!”
The high-quality, accessible rosé is made in Provence, France, where Posty regularly traveled last year in between tour dates. The affordable rosé was also worked on by Alexis Cornu, a medaled winemaker.
Maison No. 9 was inspired by Post’s favorite tarot card, the Nine of Swords, which represents the daily challenges that we all face. There’s nothing a glass of rosé can’t fix, right?
It will be available exclusively online and in stores nationwide beginning in June.

Lord Help Me is inspired by Emme’s everyday prayers. “In school I learned about sloths and how they’re facing extinction, so I began to pray for them in my nightly prayers,” the pre-teen said in a statement. “I wrote this book to help raise money to save sloths while also teaching other children how we can pray and ask for help — two things that bring me a lot of comfort.” Her famous mama shared a post on Instagram to celebrate her only daughter’s incredible feat.
“So proud of my lil coconut, Emme, as she shares her own daily prayers in her very first book LORD HELP ME!” J-Lo wrote. “This book will offer families a way to embrace the peace and power of everyday faith. It’s not out until 9/29, but you can pre order at the link in my bio.”

“When we met for the first time,” said vice president and publisher of Crown Books for Young Readers, Emily Easton, “I was so inspired by [Emme’s] heartfelt desire to share the positivity and sense of calm that daily prayer brought to her life with other children and their families.” A press release for the book also noted: “This sweet and reassuring picture book walks readers through ordinary moments when Emme asks God for help — some small, like waking up for school or getting along with a sibling, and others big, like helping to save the planet and all its creatures.” Lord Help Me is targeted to readers ages 3 to 7 years old and features illustrations by Brenda Figueroa.
