With all of this, you’d think that people aren’t actively trying to boycott him, but you’d be wrong. According to AllHipHop, Ye’s upcoming appearance in Tampa has sparked a wave of opposition from several Florida-based organizations. The June 26th and 28th shows at Raymond James Stadium have become the focus of criticism from the Florida Holocaust Museum, the Tampa Jewish Federation, and the Florida chapter of the National Organization for Women, all of whom join Senator Rick Scott in pressuring the venue to cancel the show.

“To say he was sorry and to say it was based on a manic episode and not to take any actions after that, to demonstrate that this was a sincere change of heart, is really what is so hard for the members of the Jewish community in Tampa, and throughout the region and throughout the world to take that as sincere,” Eric Stillman, president of the Florida Holocaust Museum, said.

Florida Holocaust Museum Offers Free Admission On Ye’s Show Dates

As part of its response, the museum plans to offer free admission during the same dates as the concerts.

Ye’s apology arrived in the Wall Street Journal earlier this year, where Ye said that he suffered from bipolar type-1 disorder and an undiagnosed brain injury, which he suggested played a role in his antisemitic remarks. We’ll keep you posted on any further updates on Kanye’s performance.

​​Now, that particular line was in reference to Russell Wilson’s relationship with Ciara after she and Future split up. Wilson publicly embraced Future Zahir Wilburn as his own son at a time when Future was being dragged through the internet for his toxic ways. 

While that line rubbed Future the wrong way, it appears that Ciara appreciated the shout-out. Recently, Ciara dropped a photo online of Jay-Z and Future Zahir Wilburn together. And as you expect, the internet had a field day with it.

“Y’all gone piss Future enough and he gone fuck around and make a club banger dragging tf outta JZ,” one user wrote. Someone else wrote, “If this isn’t mind games from Jay Z knowing my man was throwing shade on Future is crazy.”

Future Says Jay-Z Wasn’t Hot Until Biggie & Tupac Died

The photo comes at an interesting time. A viral clip from 2016 began surfacing this week where Future discusses Jay-Z’s impact in the 90s, especially compared to artists like Tupac and Biggie. 

 “Jay-Z wasn’t great when Tupac and Biggie were alive,” he said. “It was Biggie, Tupac, Ice Cube. [Reasonable Doubt] wasn’t hot until [Tupac and Biggie] died.”

“I’m saying at that time, [it wasn’t hot]. They always go back for your classic album. When Nas dropped his first album, it was great then,” Future continued. “‘When I Ruled The World’ came out, it was the best then. You have to go back and listen to Reasonable Doubt and [think] this the best sh*t ever.”

Furthermore, the league is packed with talent, as there are former NBA stars who participate. While Cube has had some challenges growing the league, he has kept at it, and now, he finds himself on the precipice of something extraordinary.

According to ESPN, the Big3 is the first professional sports league in North America to go public. This means you can purchase stock in the league. It is a unique idea that fits within Cube’s fan-centered version of the league. To make matters even more impressive, the league has been given a valuation of $290 million.

Ice Cube Continues To Innovate

Throughout the years, Cube has seen the league earn TV deals with CBS. Furthermore, he even held the league’s championship game in the Bahamas back in 2021. It just goes to show that he is always thinking of new ways to build the league.

Whether it be through his one-on-one foul shot structure or the four-point circle, the Big3 is one of those leagues that makes sports fun. Oftentimes, the NBA can find itself becoming predictable and tiresome. But the Big3 version of the sport has unique twists to it that fans find compelling.

Needless to say, it is cool to see Cube’s success. The Big3 was ambitious from the jump, and it continues to take new strides.

In fact, Charlamagne has been the subject of a blitz campaign from Akademiks TV. Interestingly enough, this account is not run by DJ Akademiks. Instead, an Australian man by the name of George Nguyen is in control of the page.

Throughout the last week or so, Akademiks TV has been posting various interviews and news articles about the rape allegations that Charlamagne battled decades ago. Furthermore, the account has been posting some of Charlamagne’s old comments about R. Kelly. These clips paint Charlamagne in a bad light, and it is clear that Akademiks TV has an agenda.

On the latest episode of The Brilliant Idiots Podcast, Charlamagne clapped back, claiming that Nguyen contacted him directly. He accused Nguyen of being worried about getting doxxed.

Charlamagne Tha God Speaks His Peace

“I saw some panicking last week… Why doesn’t George want his picture out? He thinks people are doxing him. Why would George Nguyen’s home get invaded?” Charlamagne asked.

Understandably, Charlamagne has had enough with Akademiks TV, and he is now clapping back. Whether the man behind the account responds remains to be seen. What we do know is that he clearly isn’t thrilled about his name and face being all over the internet.

As for DJ Akademiks, he has mostly stayed out of all of this. Instead, he has let Akademiks TV run rampant and hasn’t told him to stop. All in all, the media wars continue.

Uncle Murda wasted very little time once the Knicks clinched the championship against the San Antonio Spurs. Wearing all of his chains and sporting a Knicks jersey and a matching hat, he immediately began pointing out Ross’ recent explanation for why he wasn’t on a private jet.

“Let’s go Knicks. Gettin’ off that jet. Black truck is waiting. Meanwhile, Officer Ricky is making up excuses, talking about his jet’s in the shop. Nah, n***a, they caught you lacking, Officer Ricky. You got caught lackin’, n***a,” he said. “Got that n***a Rick Ross explaining himself now, talking about his jet getting WiFi. Don’t start stuttering now, n***a.” 

Afterward, Uncle Murda asked the driver if he saw Rick Ross plane anywhere near the airport. 

Of course, this spat is the latest in the tensions between the two.

Why Was Rick Ross Flying Commercial?

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

Although there’s nothing wrong with flying commercial, the photo of Ross ultimately had Drake fans referencing his lyrics on “Whisper My Name,” where he raps about who he’d see flying economy if he ever flew commercial. However, Ross explained that his jet was getting Starlink hooked up so it wasn’t available to fly on his regular jet. 

Ultimately, it became an opportunity for Uncle Murda to take jabs at Rick Ross. Check the clip out above.

On numerous occasions, he has had some harsh words for artists like Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Jay-Z, who oftentimes avoid rap publications. Some believe Wilson’s comments are sour grapes. Others see it as a genuine critique of how the biggest artists would prefer non-contentious interviews with GQ and Bobbi Althoff.

Now, Wilson is under fire for a different reason. SaVon Slater, the producer for The Joe Budden Podcast and host of blankSLATE, recently came out with some allegations against Wilson. In the video clip below, he claims the journalist owes him $20,000 for work that he did on The Elliott Wilson Experience.

SaVon Explains Why He’s Mad At Elliott Wilson

As Slater explains, Wilson came to him with a proposal. Essentially, Slater would provide a studio space, a camera crew, and editing work for The Elliott Wilson Experience. Wilson said his show was backed by Roc Nation and that if all went well, they would get renewed for a third season.

At the time, Slater’s close circle felt as though he was taking on unnecessary risk. Furthermore, Slater had been warned that Wilson was allegedly known for stiffing people when it came to payment. As Slater explains, that is exactly what happened to him.

The podcast producer now finds himself frustrated, as Wilson still hasn’t paid back the $20K. He went on blankSLATE and discussed the situation, although he did so begrudgingly. Clearly, this is not something he wanted to do, but he did it anyway as a last resort.

At this time, Wilson has not responded to the allegations.

The energy was so potent that it had Cardi B leaving the house at the wee hours of the morning just to be among the people. The rapper was on Instagram, revealing that she was watching the game on her phone when the Knicks beat the Spurs 94-90. The rapper jumped out of bed and ran through her house in excitement that the Knicks won. Of course, since the rest of the city was inevitably going to be outside to celebrate, Cardi said she needed her makeup done immediately and hit the block.

Cardi B herself played a role in the momentum that New York City had going for it over the past week. While tensions have been high throughout the series, the games hosted at Madison Square Garden were particularly noticeable. Cardi performed during the halftime show at the same game that Donald Trump attended, which Cardi admitted was likely responsible for the team’s loss that evening. However, that one loss obviously didn’t prevent them from securing the Championship. 

Cardi B reacts to the NY Knicks winning their first championship since 1973.

A$AP Rocky & 50 Cent Watch The Knicks Game

Other hip-hop icons that were spotted enjoying the game together were A$AP Rocky and 50 Cent. The two seemingly linked up on Rocky’s tour bus, where they shared drinks and celebrations after the Knicks took the W.

With the Knicks parade expected to take place on Thursday, it would not be surprising if we ended up seeing some VIP Knicks fans like Cardi B pull up for the occasion.

Their breakup subsequently led to days’ worth of social media discourse. Many were quick to judge Thompson, while others were quick to go after Meg. At the end of the day, no one knows what truly happened. However, there are some “inside sources” looking to offer some insight.

For instance, the Daily Mail published an article over the weekend, claiming that Thompson felt like Meg was “too ghetto.” It’s a disparaging thing to say, with Thompson allegedly claiming that Meg was too loud, and he didn’t appreciate her behavior. Furthermore, it was said that Thompson had an issue with Meg’s paranoia concerning the Tory Lanez situation.

Klay Thompson-Megan Thee Stallion Breakup

“She would not shut the f**k up about [Lanez],” the source claimed. According to the report, a second source chimed in and said that a lot of this just isn’t true. The first source made it seem as though Thompson felt stuck and had been trying to break up for months. Meanwhile, the second source refutes this as being the case.

Thompson is known as a bit of an introvert, so it’s not a stretch to believe that Meg’s outgoing personality was off-putting for him. However, the racial undertones of calling someone “ghetto” in such a fashion are jarring, to say the least.

At this time, Meg and Klay have not commented on this new report.

On Saturday, both men were together as the New York Knicks were looking to win the NBA title in San Antonio. They boasted a 3-1 series lead, and with the Spurs continuously blowing big leads, it felt inevitable that the Knicks would get it done.

That is exactly what happened as New York won by a score of 94-90 last night. The Spurs blew another big lead, but Jalen Brunson’s 45-point performance is what sealed the deal. Overall, this was the Knicks’ first NBA title in 53 years.

In the video clip below, you can see that Fif and Rocky were having an incredible time as the seconds ticked down. They celebrated the win in style, and it made for a nice moment.

Fif and Rocky are just a microcosm of how all New Yorkers must have felt during the big game last night. In fact, throughout last night, fans took to the streets of New York, where they celebrated like it was 1973.

While the San Antonio Spurs will get theirs eventually, it was nice to see a tortured franchise like the Knicks finally get one. Their fanbase has been starving for this, and something good had to happen eventually.

As this week progresses, we expect there to be a massive championship parade. The celebrities are going to show up and show out, which will make for some incredible scenes.
