Will Smith Appears To Catch Golf Club Fade To The Teefuses
Source: Will Smith / Instagram Will Smith has become a master of social media with a masterful stroke of self-deprecation despite his massive worldwide fame. Joining fellow social media star Jason Derulo on TikTok, the veteran actor and rapper caught a golf club fade to the teeth, which appears to be a mocking of Derulo’s mechanical corn on the cob incident. The video, which appears to be filmed inside Smith’s at-home production studio, shows Derulo getting a lesson in golfing from Smith. With the Fresh Prince standing in way too close, Derulo’s backswing decks Smith in the teeth and it looks like they went flying. Sharing the video to Instagram, Derulo comically tells Smith that he knows a good dentist, which is true after the singer knocked out his front teeth doing a s...
Cardi B Clowns Conservative Pundit Ben Shapiro For Slandering “WAP”
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz It has only been a couple of days since the release of Cardi B’s controversial single and people are still very mad. One analyst got gathered together personally by the Bronx bombshell. As spotted on Insider all types of right wing personalities are clutching their pearls after the release of “WAP”. The new song finds Bardi and Megan Thee Stallion talking that talk and not everyone can comprehend the vibes. One stiff shirt in particular is Ben Shapiro. The co-founder and editor of the conservative website The Daily Wire took time during his program to read the lyrics to the song verbatim. Naturally his very dry delivery resulted in a clip that had all the cringe worthy feels. “Wet a– P-word, P-word is female genitalia,&#...

Op Alert: Kanye West Could Face Election Fraud Investigation Over Bandooloo Signatures
Source: SEBASTIAN SMITH / Getty Who had Kanye West could face election fraud on their 2020 bingo card? Yeezy has confirmed he is the Ops, but his alleged use of suspect signatures in order to get on ballots across the nation has exposed him to potential prosecution. As TMZ first reported, Yeezy’s name got booted off ballots after submitting petitions that allegedly contained invalid signatures. After receiving objections, Illinois’ State Board of Elections reviewed all 3,128 signatures he submitted, and found that close to 2,000 of them were suspect and ruled invalid. You need 2,500 signatures to get on the ballot, thus Yeezy came up short in Illinois. Even before this latest struggle, there is no way Kanye West would become President even if his goal is to win, as he tweeted. ...

Source: Power 105 / Youtube Back in the day Loon and Puff were known to drop some of the hottest radio hits to ever get spins during the golden era of (commercial) Hip-Hop and filled a void that Ma$e left behind when he walked away from the game to find the Lord. While it seemed like Loon was next in line to become Harlem World’s biggest attraction things didn’t exactly turn out that way and the “I Need A Girl” rapper ended up walking away from the limelight himself before doing almost a decade behind bars. Now that he’s finally back home, Loon is ready to share some of his story with his decades old day ones and speaks with The Breakfast Club about his days breaking into the music industry to how Islam plays a role in keeping him out the rap game to this day. Revealing that he was never a...

Cox / Getty LeBron James, who doesn’t bite his tongue when it comes to calling out the nonsense he sees or hears, had the perfect response to Donald Trump not watching him and his NBA brethren play. Following the Los Angeles Lakers getting their tails handed to them by the Oklahoma City Thunder in a 105-86 loss, King James clapped back at the orange menace. Donald Trump said on Wednesday morning during a rambling interview with his buddies at Fox and Friends that seeing NBA athletes exercising their constitutional right to protest by kneeling during the National Anthem makes him “turn off the game.” When asked about how he felt about Trump’s decision to tune out because he is BIG MAD about professional athletes kneeling, James shaded the current occ...
