Consequence didn’t come to fight, but he says he was ready if things got physical during the tense backstage moment between Kanye West and Michael Che at Saturday Night Live—a scene now making waves in the documentary In Whose Name. The footage, captured in 2018 after West’s controversial appearance on SNL wearing a MAGA hat, shows Che confronting the rapper over remarks made during an unscripted, pro-Trump speech. Che took issue with being referenced in West’s rant, particularly regarding jokes about Bill Cosby and Black comedians. “You good with me? For real? That was messed up,” Che told Kanye West,…

The things he said were pretty disturbing,” Cudi said in a video message. He made it clear he had nothing to do with either situation.…
Kelly Price didn’t just prove a point—she shattered a stereotype when her debut album outsold Mya’s, weeks after a music executive dismissed her talent because of her size and complexion. During a recent livestream, the Grammy-nominated singer recalled a meeting where a Black male executive openly degraded her appearance in front of a white female colleague. “Angela [an executive with T-Neck/Island/Universal] said to him, ‘there’s nobody out there with a voice like hers,’” Kelly Price said. “So I sat down, and I’m kind of getting comfortable, because we’re getting ready to start our weekly meeting. And the call took a…
On this day in 1992, the gritty urban drama South Central made its theatrical debut, introducing audiences to a powerful story of redemption, family, and survival in Los Angeles. Starring Glenn Plummer in the role of Bobby Johnson, the film stood out as one of the rawest depictions of gang life and the difficult choices that come with trying to break the cycle. Unlike many films of the early 90s that focused primarily on the violence of the streets, South Central dug deeper into the emotional and psychological toll of that lifestyle. Glenn Plummer’s performance was unforgettable—layered, vulnerable, and authentic. As Bobby, he embodied…
Cam’Ron has spoken out after cutting short an interview with Adrien Broner on his show It Is What It Is, making it clear he would not tolerate disrespect toward his team.

The New York Mets closed their series against the San Diego Padres with an authoritative 6-1 win, getting a career day from Jonah Tong, timely power from their stars, and a much-needed boost in the NL Wild Card race. Jonah Tong was sharp. He tossed 5.0 innings, allowed 4 hits, 0 earned runs, 0 walks, and struck out 8. By far his cleanest start in recent outings. Despite his season ERA still hovering high at 8.49, this outing showed what he’s capable of when everything clicks. In his last three starts, Tong has mixed rough stretches with flashes of brilliance.…
Just days after Stefon Diggs and Cardi B confirmed they’re expecting a baby together, the Buffalo Bills wide receiver is facing a separate paternity battle that could complicate his personal life. According to court filings obtained by TMZ Sports, Los Angeles model Aileen Lopera, known online as Lord Gisselle, claims Diggs is the father of her daughter, who was born in April. Lopera first filed a petition in December 2024, and her attorney, Tamar Arminak, recently told The U.S. Sun that her client “looks forward to the day Mr. Diggs acknowledges and provides for his infant daughter in Los Angeles.”…
America has always had a funny way of testing its freedoms. The latest example? Disney. Yes, Mickey Mouse and lightsabers are suddenly sitting at the crossroads of politics, free speech, and resistance. It started with Jimmy Kimmel. Or maybe I should say it boiled over with Jimmy Kimmel. The late night host’s removal by ABC, a property of the Walt Disney Company, widely seen as a punishment for his political comedy. For many, it was the last straw in a pattern of the Trump administration weaponizing power against critics. People expected outrage on social media, maybe a few fiery op-eds.…
