Can’t get syrup if I don’t know your face, I mean it (I mean it)
Dead bodies, I really done seen it (Done seen it)
Know I hit the spot, right there on my face, I seen it (I seen it)
I threw in my sack and redeemed it (Uh-huh)

Quotable Lyrics from FTW

Yeah, give me a cigarette, my nerves bad (Yeah)
Too lit for that, I ain’t never sleepin’ where I serve at (Uh-uh)
Ayy, how you talk that gangster shit and then go turn rat? (Tell me that)
They tried to cross me out, like damn, why I deserved that? (Huh)

With LeBron becoming a free agent on July 1st, there was all sorts of speculation that James would sign with the Warriors. It’s close to his home in California, and it would be the perfect way to close out his career.

In the end, LeBron decided to go in a different direction. Last week, it was revealed that he had signed with the Philadelphia 76ers. It was a bold move, albeit one that made a ton of sense from a basketball perspective. Now, he gets to play with Joel Embiid and Jaylen Brown on a team that should contend for a title.

During the Moses Moody youth basketball camp this weekend, Curry offered his reaction to the news. As you will read, he was quite understanding of the situation.

Steph Curry Gives His Take

“That’s why you don’t envision anything until it happens,” Curry said, according to The Athletic. “There’s a lot of moving parts.”

The Golden State Warriors are a team approaching the end of their reign of terror in the NBA. They have not been viable playoff contenders since their title in 2022. Furthermore, there is still a chance that Draymond Green decides to leave this Summer.

While Golden State made sense business-wise, LeBron cares about legacy. He wants that fifth ring, and of all the destinations that wanted him, Philly was the only correct choice. You can’t blame a man for trying.

In response to Bleek’s recent comments on The Breakfast Club, Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda challenged him to go band-for-band, business-for-business, house-for-house, or even Bitcoin-for-Bitcoin.

“The only Bleek verse I ever liked is the one JAŸ-Z wrote,” Uncle Murda said. “N***as ain’t no Memphis Bleek fans like that either,” he added, before offering to go bank account for bank account. “Let’s see how much money n***as really got,” he continued, before revealing that he has money in his safe at home, and adding that he and Yayo have received payments for their podcast. Basically, he made it clear that he’s not 50 Cent’s dependent in the way Bleek suggested.

“I just took my kids first class fights [to] Disney. We was in Disney World, n***a. I do sh*t with the kids, n***a, you heard? It was me and two of the homies and thirteen kids,” he added.

Memphis Bleek’s Comments 

Bleek’s comments arrived after Yayo said that JAŸ-Z doesn’t help anybody. While Bleek basically brushed off the criticism, he suggested that 50 Cent and his cronies could not compete with JAŸ-Z and company.

“They shouldn’t be allowed to talk about us or anybody when you literally are a dependent,” Bleek said. “N***as can’t even wear their jewelry without their boss. Show me a picture of Yayo walking around with his chain, the passport chain, without 50 Cent there. I gotta see it.” 

Check out Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda’s full comments above.

This time around, Akademiks finds himself commenting on the dating rumors involving Cardi B and Nigerian soccer goalkeeper Maduka Okoye. Okoye and Cardi were originally spotted together during Paris Fashion Week. More recently, they appeared to go on a dinner date together.

On his stream, Akademiks commented on the two, stating that Okoye has no chance with someone like Cardi. With a yearly salary of $975K in the Italian Serie A, Ak doesn’t believe Okoye has enough money for Cardi B’s lavish lifestyle.

“You might as well date me,” Akademiks said matter-of-factly.

Akademiks went on to say that Cardi B has copped to spending $600K per month on her lifestyle. The hip-hop commentator believes Cardi is an expensive woman, and as a result, she needs someone who can keep up. He believes any man would need at least $1 million per year to be a viable suitor.

The streamer then went on to reveal a conversation he had with Cardi B about Pooh Shiesty. Back in the day, the artist shot his shot with Cardi. However, Cardi told Ak that Pooh Shiesty was simply too young for her. Furthermore, he wasn’t established enough for her to truly take him seriously as a suitor.

For now, Cardi B and Maduka Okoye are just enjoying each other’s company. Only time will tell if it truly blossoms into a relationship.

Now, Cenat is looking to be more consistent with his streams. On Sunday, he made a special announcement that proved this to be true. As you can see below, Cenat will be going to Disney World with Tyla. The stream is set to begin today at 5 PM EST, and can be watched on Twitch and YouTube.

The timing for this live stream makes a lot of sense, especially since Tyla just dropped her new album, A*POP. She is doing a media tour of sorts, and Cenat’s stream will be a part of that.

Kai Cenat x Tyla

What makes this stream interesting is the fact that it is a reunion. If you remember, Tyla very infamously curved Kai Cenat two years ago during a live stream. When Cenat tried to suggest a date, Tyla was quick to put a stop to it.

This is a clip that subsequently went viral and made the rounds everywhere. Even Kevin Hart couldn’t help but make fun of Kai when this happened. Needless to say, the fact that they are linking up again suggests they are on good terms despite what happened.

Fans are going to tune in to see what happens. Some wonder if the past will be rehashed, or if things will be awkward between the two. Ultimately, Kai is simply showing people that he knows what the fans want.

In the midst of this, Usher decided to have Cheyenne removed from the stage. This led to an uproar on social media, with many criticizing Cheyenne for her on-stage etiquette.

On Facebook, the woman responded to the noise, stating that she was hand-picked to go on stage. Furthermore, she originally had floor seats, although a staff member asked if she wanted to be upgraded to VIP. She attributed this to “pretty privileges.”

Eventually, Gabrielle Cheyenne was interviewed, and it was here that she made the revelation about why she wasn’t feeling Usher’s performance. As it turns out, she was hoping she would be on stage for Chris Brown. Had it been Brown serenading her, it would have been a much different story.

“Yes I went on stage and no they don’t tell you who, what, when, where,” Cheyenne said. “Baby I wasn’t going up there for Usher. I was going up for CHRIS and CHRIS ONLY! Anywaysss anybody who wasn’t sitting VIP or has a face card that doesn’t qualify should hush.”

Overall, fans on LiveBitez aren’t buying her explanation. “She knew who was on stage before she walked up there,” one person wrote. “Let’s go head & wrap this up,” said another.

There was some obvious miscommunication here, which certainly could have been avoided. That said, there are certainly some Usher fans who wish Cheyenne’s opportunity could have gone to them instead.

The images displayed in court have left those watching completely disgusted. It has gotten to the point where some have completely abandoned the court entirely out of sheer queasiness.

This week, the court proceedings are set to continue. However, over the weekend, D4vd faced a whole different problem. As you will see below, the artist had his YouTube hacked, which led to the uploading of a song called “I DID IT.”

D4vd And Many Others Were Hacked

This track was a re-titled leaked song that was supposedly about Celeste. The song has since been deleted, although for a while, some on social media thought that this was actually real in some capacity.

The upload was part of a larger hack that affected some of the biggest artists in the hip-hop world. For instance, artists like Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, and even Playboi Carti were hit. We also saw something similar with underground artists like Slayr.

In the case of Drake, hackers uploaded Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” When it comes to Kendrick, he had some leaked songs uploaded. Clearly, there was a discrepancy in severity for some artists. For instance, one can make the argument that D4vd got hit the hardest, while Drake also got a pretty rough look from this.

If anything, this just goes to show that we should all be changing our passwords. “Password 123” is not going to cut it anymore.

“Not Like Us” is a song that has haunted Drake. Even with the success of ICEMAN in plain sight, there is still that looming presence of a song that could have ruined a smaller artist. That said, Drake probably wasn’t happy when he saw that his YouTube channel with 33 million subscribers uploaded “Not Like Us” on Sunday.

Thankfully, for the Canadian megastar, the video was taken down fairly fast. As it turns out, this was part of a large hack, targeting some of the biggest artists in the world.

Drake Gets Hacked

Drake shouldn’t feel too bad about all of this. Artists like D4vd, Kanye West, Frank Ocean, Playboi Carti, and even Kendrick Lamar were also targeted by the hack. Leaked songs and demos were uploaded to these accounts, while artists like D4vd were trolled with songs related to his murder case.

Hacking is back in the public consciousness right now. Over the past few weeks, we have seen numerous iCloud leaks involving the likes of ilykimchi, Ari Fletcher, and Camryn LaVine. These situations involved sensitive photos and were a major breach of privacy.

While this YouTube hack is something else entirely, one must wonder what is going on with cybersecurity these days. It appears as though hackers are becoming more daring and sophisticated.

This is your warning to change your passwords.

“She did not post this, she didn’t leak this herself,” Tbvnks responded. “Don’t send no hate her way. She wouldn’t do this… If this was revenge something, it would be a whole different route that I would go. Somebody hacked into her s**t… Somebody leaked it. It wasn’t just me or her that was affected by it, it was other people… We do know where the source is from. Anybody else trying to take credit [are] just trying to gain followers.”

On Sunday evening, Camryn LaVine, the sister of NBA star Zach LaVine, took to her stream to explain. It was here that she revealed that she still does not know who hacked her account. She also was firm in saying that none of this is okay, and that exploiting people is an awful thing to do. Furthermore, LaVine apologized to her followers and by extension, Tbvnks for everything that has happened.

Camryn LaVine Responds

“I was debating if I really want to come on here and talk. I’m a little nervous to talk, I’m not gonna lie,” LaVine said. “It’s not ok to exploit people’s personal information and their private life… We were trolling a lot & joking around in certain videos that were exploited, but it’s not okay for y’all to try to change the narrative into something it wasn’t.”

This is certainly an awful situation for both sides. These kinds of leaks are a violation of privacy and can be filed under revenge porn laws. Perhaps authorities would need to be involved to figure out who did this.

For now, this remains a developing story.
