As a result, Snoop Dogg had big shoes to fill. He was appointed as the headliner for this year, performing during the Detroit Lions-Minnesota Vikings intermission. Similarly, he didn’t ride solo. Instead of bringing on frequent collaborators to assist him, the California icon gathered talents across multiple genres.

K-pop trio HUNTR/X, Andrea Bocelli and his son Matteo, and country star Lainey Wilson performed Christmas classics with their respective spins on them. For example, HUNTR/X put a pop twist on “The 12 Days of Christmas.”

Wilson, who rode in a white sleigh, added her Southern twang to “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.” As for Andrea and Matteo added an old-school touch to “White Christmas.”

As for Snoop Dogg, he ditched the Christmas carols for his West Coast slappers. “The One and Only,” “My Favorite Things,” and “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang” were highlighted.

However, he was in the holiday spirit as he donned a cozy yet luxurious red ensemble. He had on a double-breasted suit and a long coat with fuzzy trim.

But despite the halftime show being dynamic, fans online aren’t too impressed. That’s especially the case in The Neighborhood Talk comments section. “Anyway. Beyonce Bowl is still available to watch on Netflix,” one user writes.

Another disgruntled viewer commented nothing but tomato emojis whereas another said, “Who asked for him? [laughing emoji].”

Moreover, it was reported that live viewers were complaining about the weak audio output.

But while a few people may not have enjoyed it, this won’t be the last time that Snoop will be on some sort of sports broadcast.

In fact, those who have Peacock or cable will be hearing him during the second half of the Clippers-Warriors game on January 5. He will be providing play-by-play analysis and his overall NBA knowledge alongside Terry Gannon and Reggie Miller.

He expressed his excitement in a recent statement. “This is a dream come true for me. I’m fired up to be joining Reggie Miller and Terry Gannon on the call for the Clippers-Warriors game on Jan. 5. I can’t wait to bring a fresh vibe to the analysis while celebrating the skills and strategy these teams bring every night.”

Still, take this with a grain of salt and with a lot of grace, as this is clearly an old leak that never manifested for good reason. It’s also unclear if this was part of an official remix plan, feature, recording session, if this is a joke, if it’s earnest… There are a million different ways to interpret this. Maybe this is just a reference track, another A.I. trick, or something we can’t even grasp yet.

Either way, you can hear the BULLY artist warble and stretch his voice out with some booming and out-of-key vocals, including the eye-roll-inducing line “She said she wanted to sleep with me, so I got in the bed and I went to sleep.” Not his finest moment, but this is a leak, so being harsh is kind of irrelevant.

Kanye West’s Drake Beef

For those unaware, Drake and Kanye West have a rocky relationship that has seen them go from peers to friends to enemies to brothers to rivals to everything in between. “Lift Yourself” was a beat that the Toronto superstar wanted to use, and we all know what Ye did with it in the end. There were already plenty of competitive and petty tensions before that, cheating speculation surrounding Kim Kardashian, the difficult loyalties of the Pusha T battle, and so much other context.

These days, though, Kanye West is in Drake’s corner, flipping back to his side against Kendrick Lamar and being one of the few industry titans he still champions. Does this mean they could still collaborate in the future?

The OVO boss hasn’t really responded to any of his Yeezy counterpart’s most recent compliments. So don’t hold your breath on a collaboration anytime soon. Still, with ICEMAN and BULLY on the way, who knows?

The post Kanye West’s Hilariously Cringe “Hotline Bling” Verse Partially Leaks Online appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Published on YouTube, the session sees all four MCs trading bars over four different Fif beats, and Fab had the most notable verse from what the Internet will tell you. That’s also because of his direct response to 50 on their podcast, as caught by POLO WORLD on Twitter. Fab joked about renaming their show to “Let’s Squat About It” following the G-Unit mogul calling them broke squatters. “I’m not f***ing leaving!” he joked.

Fabolous’ digs at 50 Cent are numerous: “You know I got ‘Power,’ your shorty got hot showered” is probably the standout. It seemingly references not just 50’s Starz show but also the allegations that his former partner Daphne Joy was a participant in Diddy’s alleged urination fetish. Some other Fab bars on here like “Them window shoppers ain’t really gon’ cop nada” and “This blick like a magic stick, your top voila” reference some of the Queens entertainer’s other songs and projects.

Will Fif respond to all of this once more? Most likely, but it seems like he hasn’t clapped back just yet as of writing this article.

50 Cent Fabolous Beef

For those unaware, 50 Cent and Fabolous have light beef history when compared to their more fleshed-out conflicts with other rappers and artists. Still, this did not save the latter from the former’s trolling concerning an old Diddy interview. Now, with this general beef with Let’s Rap About It, it seems like there is more fuel for this relationship to only grow even more tense.

Still, maybe these folks just forget about the spat and move on. It seems very unlikely given their track record, but folks deserve some grace every once in a while. In any case, there are plenty of other highlights on the “Squatter’s Rights” freestyle. Even without the 50 disses, it’s pretty fun.

The New England Patriots wideout was not able to celebrate Christmas with Cardi B and their newborn son. But to show that he was still thinking about her, he shared a wholesome post to his Instagram Story. Alongside a photo of the rapper holding their baby boy Diggs wrote, “Miss yaw!!! Don’t be squeezing him too tight you making him soft [smirking emoji mending heart emoji].”

Live Bitez, who caught this, got a hold of a separate video of Diggs dancing with his two daughters in their Christmas pajamas. “Dance battle…” he typed.

But in the eyes of the Bardigang, all of this is a big no-no on the 32-year-old’s part.

“Missing them because he had to go on a daddy duty tour smh,” one user writes.

Another says, “So this how it’s gonna be every holiday? Separate holidays? Cardi you should of kept this relationship to yourself.”

A third replies, “May this type of little boy never find me!”

However, there’s also a few people either defending Diggs or calling out Cardi to do better in her dating life.

“Too many of yall have your own [poop emoji] you need to deal with. This is embarrassing for yall that he spent the day with his other children and his mom. Has nothing to do with Cardi. Take a look within. They have been together for every other major occasion. One day he isn’t there so now it’s a problem [laughing emoji].”

“4Kids 2 baby dad and being married yet still spending Christmas by yourself is INSANE smh,” another writes.

At the end of the day, Diggs and Cardi B are going to live their lives how they choose and there’s nothing no one can do to change that.

They have done a lot for each other since confirming their relationship earlier this year. In fact, just about a week ago, the NFL veteran organized a spa day event at Gillette Stadium, which was inspired by his mom and Cardi B.

That happened days before she went to Baltimore to watch his team win a big game over the Ravens to clinch a playoff berth.

Now, in a clip caught by Clavicular Updates on Twitter, one of the women that the streamer was with at the time confirmed that the stream sniper did not pass away. He will reportedly survive, and it’s unclear exactly what happened to him and what injuries he sustained, if any, at press time. Some folks are claiming that he simply fell to the side and that Clav ran into another car instead.

We don’t have many other updates from the controversial streamer himself beyond complaining about his Kick ban and defending his actions. Perhaps the near future will hold more significant updates and reports once the holiday season starts to die down. In any case, it seems like this situation will not be as dangerous or legally challenging as it could have been.

Was Clavicular Arrested?

Police reportedly did not arrest Clavicular for this incident, although he did talk to officials on the scene. He did not receive any charges from what folks can gather online, and it seems like there might not be a follow-up in the legal sense. Still, take that with a grain of salt, as anything could happen. The streamer still hasn’t been able to return to Kick, but that will probably change at some point soon in the near future.

This is not the “looksmaxxing” streamer and content creator’s first controversy. Previously, he faced backlash for allegedly injecting his girlfriend with cosmetic peptides, and this situation has blown that previous debate out of the water.

As for the stalker and stream sniper that Clavicular ran over, he has interrupted Clav streams before. We don’t have an update on his physical whereabouts or his specific condition, but it looks like he will survive this ordeal. We’re sure folks will have a lot more to talk about and discuss once more information about this comes in.

An exact date, time nor a venue has been set in stone. But based on Blue and Nick’s past attempt to organize this and the fact that they are still trying all this time later has us predicting it’s going to happen.

Also aiding our case is that Blueface himself told streamer N3on in November that him and the NBA journeyman were looking to set this up. That was reported by numerous sources, including Complex.

While on stream together, the content creator asked the rapper if he was ever going to put the gloves on again. To that he replied, “Perfect timing! Nick Young, Swaggy P we already got it lined up. He getting the first issue.”

He then told N3on that March or April was the timeline, which checks out with the report.

Do Blueface & Nick Young Have Beef?

You may remember that they were set to face off in September of 2022. However, he “received a letter from the California State Athletic Commission […] informing him his application for a pro boxing license in the state would not be granted until he appeared before the organization in October.”

Also, around this time, Blue and ex-girlfriend Chrisean Rock were getting into physical altercations with one another. But whether or not that contributed to the match getting axed was never confirmed.

This led to some trash talk from Nick Young who said, “He’s been gettin’ knocked out by his girl every day, so I think that kinda stirred him away from me. Scared, probably, but you know, the fight ain’t over. We workin’ on new things. I’m ready to fight whoever they put in front of me.”

Blue talked his talk to ahead of the fight as well, but there was never any real tension between the two men.

“A lonely Christmas,” he wrote. “No kids, no presents, no little feet running around. Just a tree and the weight of missing what matters most. I’m learning the hard way. I understand that not every lesson comes gently. Life teaches in many ways. I’m listening.”

The post comes shortly after reports surfaced that a judge extended Ray J’s no-contact order following an alleged incident on Thanksgiving, in which he was accused of pointing a gun at Princess Love. He has denied the allegations, but the legal situation has clearly had a major impact on his personal life. Especially during a season typically centered around family.

Fans had mixed reactions to the post. Some expressed sympathy, noting the vulnerability and accountability reflected in his words. Others remained critical, pointing out the seriousness of the allegations and emphasizing that reflection must be paired with real change. Still, the tone of Ray J’s message suggested a rare pause from his usually outspoken online presence, leaning instead toward introspection.

Ray J and Princess Love’s relationship has been publicly turbulent for years, marked by separations, reconciliations, and legal disputes, all while raising two young children together. This latest development appears to have placed real distance between Ray J and the family life he frequently references as his priority. While it’s unclear what comes next legally or personally, the Christmas Eve post felt like an acknowledgment of consequence. Rather than deflecting or lashing out, he framed the moment as a lesson. One learned painfully and in isolation.
