This has not stopped her from weighing in on the topics that she feels passionately about. For instance, ESPN laid off numerous NFL analysts this week, including Ryan Clark. Clark and Hill share a friendship, so it should come as no surprise that Hill would have some opinions about these layoffs.

During an episode of Spolitics, Hill reiterated that she completely understands that cuts happen. ESPN does it practically every year. However, she takes issue with how Clark’s firing was handled. Firstly, he found out about it during a commercial break of NFL Live. Furthermore, the story was broken by Outkick, a conservative sports media platform that is constantly opining about wokeness.

Jemele Hill On Ryan Clark Firing

Hill believes Outkick‘s scoop is proof that there are people within ESPN who have been waiting for Clark to get the boot. ESPN has never associated with Outkick. In fact, Outkick is an outlet that ESPN would typically try to stay far away from given their ideological outlook. However, they somehow found out about Clark before anyone else. In Hill’s mind, this is highly suspicious.

Ever since the Peter Schrager incident from a few months ago, some fans have had it out for Clark. Hill says this is reflected in the way Clark was let go. She firmly believes the former Pittsburgh Steelers star was plagued by haters within the network.

Cam Newton and Bart Scott were treated a lot better on the way out, which is another red flag. It just goes to show that Hill’s theories about ESPN and Clark have some weight to them.

Thankfully, for Clark, he can still fall back on The Pivot, which remains one of the top sports podcasts out there.

Ultimately, ESPN has some bills to pay. Pat McAfee is about to make $60 million per year, which means certain employees are falling victim to the yearly personnel cuts. For Newton, it was especially upsetting, especially when you consider how he signed a contract with the network last Summer. He had been excelling on First Take and was coming into his own as an analyst.

On yesterday’s episode of 4th & 11, Newton offered up some commentary on the situation. Newton said that while it stings, he is still taking this in stride. He sees it as an internship where he got to learn from the best.

Furthermore, Newton believes this is further proof that athletes need their own platforms, just like his own. He even referenced Ryan Clark and his podcast, The Pivot.

Cam Newton On ESPN Firing

“I want you to learn one rule about the times we live in right now: if you don’t own your own platform, you’re gonna get overlooked, bypassed, and be extinct like dinosaurs,” Cam Newton explained. “Ryan Clark gonna be okay. The Pivot ain’t going nowhere; it’s unfortunate what happened to me, but I got 4th & 1, I ain’t going nowhere”

ESPN’s recent round of cuts has left some fans feeling as though the network is going in a bad direction. Soon, the only two people left standing will be McAfee and Stephen A. Smith.

There was a time when real journalism ruled the day on the network. Now, that is very much no longer the case.

In a subsequent video on social media, White alleged that J Prince and Mob Ties were to blame for all of this. White says that Mob Ties members allegedly pressed him about his disrespect for J Prince. He even alleged that they tried to force him to apologize. When he refused to do so, he accuses them of trying to shoot him.

White came away from the alleged incident unscathed; however, he still has plenty more to say to Prince and Mob Ties. For instance, he told J Prince that he will continue to expose him, and that he has no respect for the music mogul.

Charleston White Sends Message To J Prince

White even started espousing conspiracy theories about Mob Ties and J Prince’s alleged role in the death of Takeoff. White claims that he has evidence that would take Mob Ties down. In fact, he went on to say that this morning, he plans to go to the FBI with his information.

Overall, these allegations are nothing new when it comes to Charleston White and his social media presence. Oftentimes, he comes across as a troll, and it has certainly earned him some attention online.

His latest comments about Mob Ties are consistent with things that he has said in the past. At this time, neither J Prince nor Mob Ties have commented on White’s allegations. This remains a developing story.

Real people and pets have died as a direct cause of Swatting. Technically, it’s illegal. If the police find out you made a fake call, they can send you to prison. However, that doesn’t stop people from doing it, all while finding new ways to be anonymous.

On Tuesday, Blueface was the latest high-profile Swatting victim. In fact, in the middle of a live stream with Nevaeh and his stepson, the rapper was detained by police. Furthermore, CPS was called on him as well, at the very same time.

Blueface Swatted On Air

Both CPS and the police showed up at around the same time, which led to a chaotic scene. Once authorities realized that there was no risk, Blueface was let go, and the situation was diffused.

Of course, this does not take away from how scary all of this is. It is very easy for a Swatting call to go left. Thankfully, most streamers are briefed on this kind of thing and know how to handle it when authorities come knocking.

It remains to be seen whether or not Blueface will continue to stream, especially after this latest situation. Ultimately, no one would blame him if he decided that was enough of that. Stream watchers tend to be parasocial, and this is a perfect example of this.

Going into the album, it almost felt as though Rick Ross was making preemptive excuses for a potential flop. For instance, he went online and said that regardless of how the album performs, he has already been paid. This did not inspire much confidence in the finished product.

On Friday, the album was released, and almost every single song has a feature. Once again, not inspiring very much confidence. Reactions began to flood the internet, and for the most part, fans aren’t loving the project. As it turns out, this is being reflected in the album’s sales numbers, which were reported by Kurrco on Tuesday evening.

Rick Ross Struggles To Get Streams

As it stands, Set In Stone will not debut within the Billboard 200’s Top 20. Meanwhile, it is projected to sell less than 26K units. For a legend like Ross, these numbers are a huge disappointment.

If this were 10 years ago, he would have sold in the six-figure range. However, 2026 is a very different time. Outside of the top artists, everyone is struggling to sell records. Everyone’s attention is fragmented, and the conditions for musicians simply aren’t adequate.

That said, Ross has already been paid, at least that is according to him. With that in mind, he probably isn’t too worried about these sales figures. As for the label that wrote him the check, well, they probably see it differently.

Going into free agency, there were three destinations reportedly on the table. The Golden State Warriors, the Miami Heat, and the Philadelphia 76ers. The Warriors are an opportunity to play with Steph Curry, the Heat are a reunion, and the Sixers are a championship-caliber roster.

However, it appears as though his decision may have been leaked on YouTube. On the Miami Heat YouTube channel, a live stream scheduled for July 27 popped up, saying “LeBron James Introductory Press Conference.” This would mean LeBron would be introduced to the media in Miami next Monday.

LeBron James to Miami?

This live stream was eventually deleted. However, it immediately began making the rounds on social media. One has to wonder if this was just some sort of placeholder in case he signs with the team, or if it is truly a leak, and LeBron is going back to the Heat.

If he does go to Miami, he will get to play alongside guys like Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo. The rest of the roster still has some work to do. Although LeBron would certainly inject a veteran presence into the roster.

LeBron infamously won two NBA titles with the Miami Heat back in 2012 and 2013. If he were to go back, you’d have to assume he would also be retiring there. Whether or not the team allows him a chance at winning a title remains to be seen.

For now, fans will have to keep waiting, as LeBron has yet to make his decision.

“My mom asked for me to have a kid, yeah. My dad had just got murdered that year, the same year I blew up,” Wayne recalled. At the time, he said his music career was beginning to take off, but his schedule still allowed him to spend most of the week at home because his performances were largely weekend dates. That changed once Cash Money Records secured its distribution deal with Universal.

“We got the Universal deal, and I was like, we have a tour coming up. And when I went on that tour, we were on the road for like, six months,” Weezy explained. According to Wayne, returning home after that stretch led to a conversation with his mother that has stayed with him ever since.

“So, when I came home, she was like, ‘Is this what you about to be doin’? Should I expect that? You were gone for too long. I’m lonely. My husband’s gone.'” Wayne said his mother then asked to “have a sit down” with him and his then-girlfriend and later, ex-wife, Toya Johnson, to discuss the possibility of the teenage couple having a child together.

Wayne and Toya welcomed their daughter, Reginae Carter, when they were both teenagers. Reginae has since become a television personality and social media figure in her own right, while Wayne has often spoken about the close relationship they share.
