"Defeating White supremacy without White people creates Black supremacy. Equality is the truth," he wrote. "Like it or not, we are all in this together."
The post was immediately met with backlash as users on the site began clowning Crews.
"Black supremacy? We represent 13% of US population, hold no institutional power & gaslight our coworkers. We got 99 problems and your math isn't the only 1," Orlando Jones explained.
"Convinced Terry Crews is a small white man in a large black body like a MIB alien cuz don’t no n***a say shit like this," joked Father.
Crews also came under fire earlier this year for comments he made in response to Gabrielle Union's claims of discrimination on America's Got Talent. "That was never my experience. In fact, it was the most diverse place I have ever been in my 20 years of entertainment," he said, contradicting Union. "When you look at what the allegations were about, it was given by an unnamed source. It's funny because I believe you should listen to women, you should always believe women, so I asked my wife what I should do. She was like, 'first of all, if it's coming from an unnamed source — because Gabrielle Union has not made any statement to this day about any of these allegations publicly … if she hasn't made a statement, why would you?'"
Crews later apologized to Union.

Meek Mill Responds To Tekashi 6ix9ine After He Clowned Him For Not Protesting
Tekashi 6ix9ine says he can't speak on George Floyd because of the terms of his house arrest, but that's not stopping him from attacking other rappers like Meek Mill.
Meek dropped the track "Otherside Of America" in response to what's going in the United States, and Tekashi was quick to jump on the Philly rappers back for not hitting the streets to protest.
"If Kanye, who is way more famous than all these rappers is outside protesting with the people, why is the wannabe Martin Luther King Not but has no problem dropping a song during times like this to capitalize.," Tekashi wrote on the post, adding "BUT YOU THE VOICE FOR THE STREETS ??? YOU F*CKIN CLOWN"
Well, Meek wasn't digging Tekashi's post (which was recently deleted) and took to social media himself to address the accusation.
According to Meek, his whole life has been a protest, and we can only assume he means his criminal record, jail time and his current fight for prison reform with Jay-Z, Michael Rubin, and more.
my whole life a protest..... literally!

Dana White & Jon Jones Continue To Trade Shots Over Contract Dispute
Dana White and Jon Jones seem to be embroiled in a massive disagreement.
Jon Jones is one of the best UFC fighters to ever live although his issues with drugs and PEDs have gotten him into trouble in the past. Most recently, Jones has been beefing with UFC president Dana White over a potential fight with Francis Ngannou. Jones wants more money but White won't give it to him. In fact, White said Jones wants $30 million per fight which is something Jones labeled as BS.
Last night after UFC Fight Night, White spoke on the Jones drama and had some strong words of the UFC superstar. Of course, Jones quickly clapped back in the early hours of the morning.
"He can do whatever he wants," White said. "He wants to sit out, fight, he can do whatever. He can say whatever he wants publicly. It's his God-given right in America. He can say whatever he wants. When he's ready to come back, he can. In one of his tweets, he said I tarnished his name. I tarnished you? You've done a very good job of tarnishing you."
Jones is someone the UFC doesn't want to lose right now so we're sure they will patch things up sooner rather than later. Not to mention, this comes across as a great promo for a future bout.

What do you think?
Charlamagne Reveals What He Thinks Will Happen To 6ix9ine
Tekashi 6ix9ine has been laying the antics on thick since coming out of jail.
Tekashi 6ix9ine is one of the most polarizing people in the music industry and a lot of it has to do with the fact that he is constantly getting into feuds with people, for seemingly no reason. He recently got released from jail after snitching on all of his associates and while many thought his career would be over, 6ix9ine has proven people wrong with a new song and all of the headlines in the world. In fact, 6ix9ine is even beefing with the likes of Snoop Dogg.
During a recent episode of “The Brilliant Idiots” with Andrew Schulz and Charlamagne Tha God, Charlamagne offered his perspective on the 6ix9ine drama and how it isn’t going to work out for anyone. Charlamagne even said that he won’t pay attention to 6ix9ine and that the artist will either end up dead or in jail.
“My prediction is the same predication as it was two years ago and I was right. You end up in jail or dead. And if you already went to jail and didn’t learn from that, what is next? Y’all think that’s funny, but I’m 41. That sh*t ain’t funny to me. I don’t like seeing self-destruction,” Charlamagne said.
Many others feel the same way as the Breakfast Club host although it truly remains to be seen what will happen to the rainbow-haired warrior. Only time will tell what’s in store.
Chrissy Teigen & Fellow Cookbook Author Alison Roman Squash Beef
Cookbook authors Alison Roman and Chrissy Teigen make amends.
Chrissy Teigen is usually all over social media, making her quippy, clever remarks any which way she can. Whether it's Instagram or twitter, she's built herself quite the online personality, one that has become more of a mainstay pop culture presence than even her husband, John Legend.
Thus, it was surprising to find out the former model-turned-cookbook creator went private on her social media following a bit of online feuding with another cookbook author, Alison Roman. If you missed the beef, Alison Roman sent some shade Chrissy Teigen's way in an interview excerpt that quickly went viral, calling out Teigen for what she called a "content farm." Teigen replied on twitter, explaining her cookbook pursuits and justifying them, "I started cravings because I wanted something for myself. I wanted something John didn't buy, I wanted something to do that calmed me, made me happy and made others happy, too. Cravings isn't a "machine" or "farmed content" - it's me and 2 other women."

Now, it looks like the two cooks have hashed things out, with Alison Roman offering an apology and Teigen gladly accepting it. Roman's apology came two-fold, as she first dropped off a quick word on twitter before unveiling a more lengthy response, that dissects why she said what she said.
Teigen said in response to Roman, "thank u for this, @alisoneroman. To be clear, it never once crossed my mind for u to apologize for what you genuinely thought! The comments stung, but they moreso stung because they came from u! It wasn’t my usual news break of some random person hating everything about me!"
She continued, "I often comment about how I wish I could get away with what I used to, now, but the truth is, I don’t. I’ve learned a fuckton from my years being watched (& read) and I can really say it makes you a better person! It makes u think about the impact of what u say/who it might hurt. I still think you are incredibly talented. And in an industry that doesn’t really lend itself to supporting more than a handful of people at a time, I feel like all we have are each other!"

S-Curve Records founder/president Steve Greenberg spoke with Billboard about the singer's passing: "Betty Wright was one of the foundations of S-Curve's creative family. She and I worked together on so many projects, ranging from Joss Stone to Tom Jones to the O’Jays, to her own album, Betty Wright & the Roots. She was a triple threat as an artist, writer and producer and she always got something extra special out of the singers she was producing. Her mere presence brought a studio to life and she had the gift of making everyone feel confident in their ability to create something magical."
"I loved being around Ms. Betty Wright. She was always so loving and giving to younger artists. Always engaged, always relevant. She will be missed," John Legend writes on Twitter.
"Thank u for bringing me to thankful Thursday’s at your house in Florida years ago for the fellowship mentoring and prayers and blessings u shared with me I know God is pleased with your work," Snoop Dogg says on Instagram. "Tonight is the night u get to heavens. Gates ????. Long live. Betty Wright ??????."
Wright is best known for her tracks "Tonight Is the Night," “No Pain, (No Gain)" and "Clean Up Woman." Check out more reactions to the iconic singer's passing below.

Jason Derulo Claps Back At Twitter Troll For Declaring Him Corny
Jason Derulo would rather look at the positive effects of being trolled.
It's no secret that people find Jason Derulo to be incredibly corny. There are certain factors at play when it comes to determining whether someone or something is corny but ultimately, people base it more off of feeling than an actual rubric. Derulo's brand of pop music, mixed with his persona on social media, have all led people to believe he is one of the more cringe-worthy characters in popular culture. His TikTok certainly doesn't help his case as he can be seen dancing while biting his lip and wearing bedazzled cut-off bunny hoodies.
Recently, a Twitter troll clowned on one of his most recent TikTok videos and the tweet eventually went sem-viral. Well, Derulo caught wind of it all as he took to his own Twitter account and thanked the troll for increasing his following on TikTok.
"I Appreciate you! I Got 500k followers added to my 18 million in one day thanks to you," Derulo said. "Hopefully you can use that same energy to grow your own followers someday."
Derulo's sarcastic response certainly contains some pain behind it if you really peel back the layers but for the purposes of Twitter, it was quite satisfactory. It won't change the public perception that surrounds him but he definitely got his point across.
