This week, a joke video of Metro Boomin being "exposed" as a gymnast went viral on Twitter. A man who looks like the producer can be seen balancing and pulling major stunts with a friend, pulling some insane flips and flexing that core strength. Attempting to fool people that Young Metro is training for the Summer Olympics in 2021, it's clear that the beatmaker is more focused on creating future hits with his homie 21 Savage.
It only took a couple of days but Metro Boomin has officially responded to the viral video online, asking why the internet had to do him like this.
"Y’all n***as really playing wit me wit dat gymnastics video," wrote Metro on Twitter, adding two angry emojis and a couple of laughing ones.
Clearly, he has seen all the memes and he's enjoying them. However, he's not excited enough to pull off some crazy flips on camera though.
The producer followed up his reaction by sharing an old picture of himself and Travis Scott in the studio and, of course, the people needed to crack even more jokes.
"Metro is this pic from before or after you were a gymnast," asked a number of fans.
It looks like he may never be able to escape this.
Lil Baby’s Fidgety Interview Goes Viral
Some fans are saying that Atlanta rapper Lil Baby was trying to pour water into an imaginary glass in a new viral video.
Lil Baby is one of the biggest stars of this year so far, enjoying tremendous first-week numbers for his new album My Turn. The Atlanta rapper is having himself a moment, fully experiencing his potential and living to become everything that he'd hoped for himself. The next step for Lil Baby is growing his roster of artists, which includes 42 Dugg and Rylo Rodriguez, so he can boss up behind-the-scenes. During his recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, one moment stood out to fans who became worried about Baby's well-being after he seemingly tried to pour water from a closed bottle into an imaginary glass.

Speaking on how he doesn't show any emotion, Lil Baby began to visibly shake, keeping one hand on his plastic water bottle the entire time. He then spoke about how he was hurt in prison, picking up the bottle and placing it upside down as if he were pouring it into something. Some fans have noted that he could have been tweaking off the Percocet pills, or he was preparing a pint of lean in his head. Either way, this is definitely strange behavior.
Watch the video below and let us know what you think Lil Baby was doing.
Post Malone Video Has Fans Begging He Gets Help
A video of Post Malone performing on his knees during a concert has gone viral as fans wish he would protect his health... but is he just vibing out?
A few recent videos captured at a Post Malone concert are going viral for the wrong reasons, showing the world-famous performer in the middle of his emotive hit "I Fall Apart," seemingly losing his footing and rolling around on stage while still blurting out the lyrics. People are using the clips as "proof" that the singer should be seeking help, either for alcohol or substance abuse, but the people closest to Malone say he's really just vibing out.
The viral video shows Post Malone singing to the crowd of thousands on his knees before he clumsily stumbles and continues singing while laying on his side. He then gets back to a crouching position and screams his lyrics, which could be unnerving to anybody who has not been to this man's concert before.
All things considered though, this is just the way that Post Malone is. He brings that energy to his stage show every night and the people that are closest to him are not worried about anything going on in the clip. Commenting on DJ Akademiks' post, Malone's manager chimed in.
"All Vibez," said Dre London, co-signing DJ Carnage's message that the Texas-raised rapper was just having fun.
Post Malone is an avid beer drinker, and some are pointing to his alcohol consumption for the behaviour in this video. We're going to say that he was just feeling himself a little hard and decided to get extra emotional for the performance.

Bayles suffers from dwarfism and struggles with bullying at school, according to CNN.
His mother, Yarraka Bayles, posted the video on social media in order to raise awareness for bullying where it gained tremendous traction.
"This is what bullying does," she can be heard saying. "Can you please educate your children, your families, your friends?"
As of Friday, the video had been seen over 16 million times. Comedian Brad Williams set up a Go-Fund-Me page which has raised over $465,000, as of Sunday morning.
"This isn't just for Quaden, this is for anyone who has been bullied in their lives and told they weren't good enough," Williams said on the fundraising page. "Let's show Quaden and others that there is good in the world and they are worthy of it."
Williams says he plans on sending Quaden and his mother to Disneyland with the money. With any excess, which there appears to be a lot of, he says, "After all the flights, hotel, tickets, and food is paid for, any excess money will be donated to anti-bullying/anti-abuse charities"
A number of celebrities have shown support for Quaden on social media, including Hugh Jackman who posted a video on Twitter saying, "Quaden, you are stronger than you know, mate. Everyone, let's just please be kind to each other. Bullying is not OK, period."
Diddy Dances With Kids With Cancer On "Ellen"
Diddy finally got to dance with the kids from Fighting All Monsters, who have turned his song “Bad Boy For Life” into a cancer-fighting anthem, after surprising them on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
Diddy has finally fulfilled the kids from Fighting All Monsters’ wishes that he dance with them to his song, “Bad Boy For Life,” after a video of these kids fighting cancer went viral. At the beginning of the year, tons of kids from Fighting All Monsters (FAM), a non-profit organization that strives to fight childhood cancer, took part in a viral video in which they asked Diddy to dance with them to “Bad Boy For Life.” Diddy’s 2001 track, which features Black Rob and Mark Curry, has been an anthem for these brave children ever since FAM was founded by Milk Tyson in December 2018. Tyson has explained that the song’s lyrics and spirit resonate with the kids and their parents because, “every day we meet these health challenges with a determination that says no matter what happens to us, ‘we ain’t goin’ nowhere…we are here for life!'”

Diddy responded, exclaiming that he was “so inspired” by the viral video. “These kids are so strong and I’m humbled they’ve found strength in one of my songs,” he wrote. “They are fearless and motivating me like nothing before. And of course I’ll dance with all of you! Every time I’m feeling my energy shift I get up and dance. Keeps my vibrations high! I’ll dance with y’all everyday! Never stop believing… and remember WE AIN’T GOING NOWHERE!!!!” Now, Diddy finally got the opportunity to dance with them for real, as he surprised eight of the FAM kids on an episode of Ellen that aired on Thursday.
Before she brought Diddy out, Ellen asked the kids, whose names are Layla Mosely, Ke’Yair Stephens, Zoey Nieves, Imani Hollis, Phillip Escalante, Maddie Kelsoe, Will Walker and Baylee Hankins, why they picked his song as their anthem. Will mirrored FAM’s founder’s words, indicating that the song’s lyrics and message about surviving and fighting resonated with them. At first, Ellen told them that Diddy was unfortunately on tour in Miami and couldn’t be there, but then “realized” she “got the dates wrong” and brought him out to surprise them.
Diddy hugged all eight of them before they took their seats, where he thanked them for reaching out. “I was so touched that this song that has helped me get through so many trials and tribulations is fuelling you guys to know the power you have in yourself, to believe that we ain’t going nowhere,” he told them. Ellen then revealed that Shutterfly had donated $25,000 to the Fighting All Monsters organization, before the children finally got their chance to dance with Diddy. The whole thing just might make you shed a tear.

Stripper Who Fell Down 15-Foot Pole Has Eyes Set On New Career
Genea Sky is making major changes in her life post-accident.
Usually when a video goes viral of some painful-looking accident – or “epic fail” as they used to say – the viewers detach from their sympathetic sides and manage to derive some entertainment from the video. In the case of the stripper who fell down a 15-foot pole mid-routine and face-planted on stage, people were more concerned with her well-being than getting a laugh (although it was comical that she continued twerking post-plunge). The victim of this incident, Genea Sky, has been providing updates for the public on her recovery and, while she suffered some serious injuries, her spirits are remaining high.
Last week, Sky appeared on The Wendy Williams Show to discuss her experience and she revealed that she would not be returning to the stripping profession. The accident served as a turning point for her, motivating her to dedicate all her energy to becoming an aesthetician. However, while speaking to TMZ, she mentioned that there’s another dream job that she would be pursuing in a perfect world.
Sky fantasizes about being a food critic, since she “[eats] like a football player” and even calls herself a “chicken wing connoisseur.” Unfortunately, her jaw is wired shut at the moment after undergoing surgery to repair its break, so she is relegated to consuming food out of a straw for another three weeks. However, once she overcomes this stage, she will return to her gourmet ways. Sky estimates her overall recovery time to span 2-3 month “at the very minimum”, so you can donate to her GoFundMe page to help cover medical and living expenses in the meantime.
Wendy’s Fires Employee For Bathing In Kitchen Sink
Wendy’s fired several employees responsible for a viral TikTok of one of them bathing in the kitchen sink.
Remember when “Do it for the Gram!” was unfortunately a thing. Well, now the youth is acting dumb in the name of TikTok! Proof of this phenomenon can be found in the video of a Wendy’s employee bathing in a Michigan location’s kitchen sink. The young man who hopped in the tub and all the other employees involved in the incident have been fired since the TikTok went viral and caught the attention of Wendy’s headquarters.
The Greenville restaurant that experienced this health code violation has released a statement detailing its outlook on the situation: “This egregious behaviour is completely unacceptable and counter to our safety, training and operational standards. Upon learning of this situation, all employees in the video were terminated immediately and the restaurant has been completely sanitized. The health department visited the restaurant today and no violations were reported.”
Surprisingly, this isn’t the first time a Wendy’s employee has pulled off this stunt. The same thing happened back in May of 2019 and Wendy’s responded to it by saying, “We are taking this opportunity to reinforce our very strict quality procedures with our restaurant team.” Looks like they’ll have to reinforce those guidelines once again. The fast food chain’s workers must all be reminded of the adage: “Sir/Ma’am, this is a Wendy’s.”
Stripper Calls Viral Two-Story Fall A "Blessing", Receives Generous Check From Wendy Williams
Genea Sky, who went viral after falling down a 15-foot stripper pole, detailed her experience on “The Wendy Williams Show”.
Many have been tuning in for updates on the 24-year-old stripper who suffered a serious accident while performing a week ago. Genea Sky was doing a routine to 21 Savage’s “Immortal” at Dallas’ XTC Cabaret when she fell from atop a 15-foot pole, landing face-first on the stage. Footage of the incident went viral, as people watched in horror and amazement at how she continued twerking after making her ungraceful descent. On Friday, Wendy Williams brought Sky onto her talk show to discuss her experience and recovery.
After Sky detailed her injuries on social media, her friend set up a GoFundMe page to help Sky cover medical expenses and help provide for herself while out of commission. The page attracted many donors, especially after it was reported that the strip club she worked at claimed no responsibility for her accident. Despite not being legally accountable and Sky not being a full-time employee with benefits, she told Williams that the club has pledged to offer financial assistance (the sum of which has not yet been determined). At the end of the interview, a large $10,000 check was presented to Sky in order to fund her schooling to become an aesthetician.
When asked whether she will return to stripping post-recovery, Sky emphatically responded in the negative. “No I’m done,” she said through a wired-shut jaw. “There is still something I really really wanted to say. If anything at all, I’m taking this as a blessing. I’ve been praying to get out of this strip club for a very long time.”
Before the discussion came to a close, Sky wished to share one final, crucial message. “First and foremost, I just want to take the time to kind of highlight the fact that, as a dancer, we get dehumanized all the time. I’ve had people in my DMs telling me I should have died – they wish i did. I have people acting like they know who I am as a person and they have no idea who I am. I carry myself with the utmost respect and positivity.”
Texas Strip Club Where Performer Suffered Two-Story Fall Denies Responsibility
The CEO of the company that owns the club claims that dancers are responsible for the stunts they choose in their routines.
The viral video of a stripper falling down a 15-foot pole during a performance became even more unfortunate when it was learned that she suffered serious injuries. The victim, Genea Sky, has been documenting her condition and recovery on social media, detailing that she fractured her jaw, sprained an ankle and broke teeth. The club where she was dancing, Dallas’ XTC Cabaret, has now commented on the accident and is claiming no responsibility for it.
Eric Langan, CEO of RCI Hospitality Holdings Inc., the company which owns the club, told TMZ that dancers are responsible when putting themselves at risk, since they choose their own routines. Essentially, Langan is saying that it was Sky’s decision to climb to the top of that two-story pole, hence his company cannot be legally required to compensate her. However, he claimed that the club is looking for ways to offer Sky financial assistance. TMZ also reported that Langan made a disturbing remark about how Sky should worry about her health first and money second, even though that’s obviously a luxury that not everyone can afford.
While it remains uncertain whether the club will help Sky cover medical expenses, the good news is that her friend set up a GoFundMe page that has been attracting generous support. The page’s goal was set at $20,000, but, as of this article’s writing, has raised $31,260. The description notes that Sky will be out of work for some time due to her injuries, so donate if you can!
