2008 Champs Celtics & Kevin Garnett Catch Hell After Jab At LeBron James & Miami Heat

Boston Celtics Vs. Miami Heat At American Airlines Arena

The 2008 NBA world champion Boston Celtics squad gutted out two seven-game series to reach the NBA Finals and defeat the Los Angles Lakers, firmly cementing the legacies of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen. A quip by KG in where he stated that the boys in green and white ran LeBron James out of Cleveland and that the league had an agenda to make King James a champion by any means necessary has been catching a lot of heat.

KG, who stars alongside Adam Sandler in the film Uncut Gems, was a guest with the actor on Bill Simmons’ podcast on The Ringer network. Simmons, a well-known Boston stan, apparently uncorked some hidden rage deep inside Garnett’s soul after making a comment that during the 2012 NBA Eastern Conference playoffs, which is the time period the film is set in, the Heat got the better of the Celtics.

It appears that KG suggests that the league made sure that the Heat would appear triumphant in the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals after the Celtics lost four games to three. It would end up being one of the last times the Celtics would go that deep with a clear pathway to win it all.  For KG, there was real animosity between the Celtics and the Heat, especially with Allen having defected to the Heat the following season and ended up winning a chip with the squad.

Since the clip has made its usual rounds on the Internet, NBA Twitter has taken some shots at Celtics and especially KG for still holding a bitter taste in his mouth over the loss and jab at James. We’ve got those reactions below.

The Great Grits Debate: Young Dolph & Key Glock Flabbergasted At Old Bay Usage In Grits

At least once a quarter, Black Twitter goes up in an uproar over the proper way to season grits and a new wrinkle to this passionate debate has been unveiled. During an interview with Young Dolph and Key Glock, Noisey’s Trey Smith threw the guys for a loop after sharing that he uses Old Bay seasoning on his favorite hot breakfast cereal.

The Dum & Dummer artists were guests on The Noisey Questionnaire of Life show back in November where Smith typically asks random questions from his guests, often with no real rhyme or reason which is the beauty of it.

Both Dolph and Glock professed a love for grits and it appears that the collaborators have new mock beef considering Glock likes sugar and butter in his grits while Dolph likes to go savory with black pepper and butter. In fact, Dolph sounded downright disgusted at the fact Glock likes his grits on the sweet side while his mans pushed back on the pepper usage with the same disdain.

However, the gentlemen were back in solidarity when Smith admitted that he uses Old Bay in his grits, prompting the pair to react with unified incredulousness. Smith tried to explain that as a Maryland native, residents of the state put the seasoning on chicken, fish, and nearly everything. [Writer’s Note: I’m from Maryland, I don’t do this and I don’t know this man, no offense.]

After a Twitter user spliced that portion of the clip from Dolph and Glock’s appearance on Noisey, the words Old Bay have been trending on Twitter and the Great Grits Debate threatens to once again divide Black Twitter.

As we said, this interview came out in November but homie signaling out the grits convo brought it back to life.

Cokehead Cutie Pie: Twitter Got All The Slander For Lira Galore For Allegedly Sniffing Cocaine While Preggers

Billboard 2018 R&B Hip-Hop Power Players

Source: Theo Wargo / Getty

The beef between Pierre “Pee” Thomas and Lira Galore is heating up to explosive levels. The Quality Control CEO upped the ante in his legal battle with Galore, showing off texts that reveal she sniffed some prime-time booger sugar while pregnant.

As we shared earlier, Thomas vehemently denies being physically and emotionally abusive towards Galore and actually said it was the other way around. After news that Galore was attempting to file a motion to get Thomas to take care of her attorney fees amid claims he was an unfit father to their child, Thomas dropped one hell of a bombshell on Instagram that probably won’t be up for long.

From the swiftly-deleted Instagram post:

One thing I don’t play about is my father hood. I have 16 artist on my label, I still make time to see my children 4 times out of the week. The only women I leave my children with are there mothers and the women I was engaged with. I wasn’t gonna address this but I’m just tired of seeing my child’s mother try and slander me as though I’m so unfit. No I’m not perfect but if anyone knows me they know I go hard every day so my children will never have to go through what I’ve been through. She can deny her bad drug habits and her toxic aggressive behavior all she wants but the truth of the matter is that I’ve tried to do nothing but help her. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A 15 MILLION DOLLAR SHAKE DOWN FROM AN ANGRY WOMEN WHO IS DOWN TO HER LAST AND CLEARLY UPSET BECAUSE A FAILED ATTEMPT TO GET HER CHILD SUPPORT SWITCHED TO LA THEREFORE SHE’D ACCUMULATE MORE EACH MONTH VERSES GEORGIA. IVE NEVER ONCE BEAT ON THAT WOMEN… DID I TAKE MY RING BACK, YES! WHEN I BECAME AWARE SHE WAS HAVING SEX WITH OTHER MEN, PLOTTING WITH HER PIMP, AS WELL AS SNORTING COKE WHILE PREGNANT WITH MY CHILD. WHAT MAN WOULD NOT WANT THERE RING BACK? I HAVE NOT SEEN MY CHILD SINCE FATHERS DAY WHY? Because the root of all evil… MONEY!

Let that sink in. And then read on:

I HAVE TEXT MESSAGES AS WELL AS PROOF THAT WE WERE ON PRETTY FARE TERMS UNTIL SHE REALIZED SHE WAS NOT GONNA BENEFIT AS SHE ONCE WAS WHEN WE WERE TOGETHER. People that know me and her know the truth! This is my last time speaking out about this situation, hopefully we can keep this matter out of the public eye for the sake of our daughter having to look back and see. A wise man once told me when you lay down with pigs you get mud all over you… guess he was right. PS: Everyone know who my children mothers are. Ask them.

Okay, still with us? Good.

As one can imagine, the slander on Twitter right now is ferocious. From what was looking like a pretty slow news day for Monday has truly heated all the way the hell up. But we do wish to say that the allegations levied at Thomas are serious and should be seriously investigated. We’re not picking sides here, just reporting the facts.

The IG post lives on, thanks to The Shade Room so peep it out below along with the reactions on Twitter.

Karol Sanchez Reportedly Staged Kidnapping, Twitter Compares Her To French Actor Juicy Smolliét

Karol Sanchez, a 16-year-old girl who was the center of a scary nighttime abduction in New York, has been found unharmed. According to several developing reports and their sources, Sanchez confessed to staging the kidnapping and comparing her to a beleaguered French-American actor (work with us here).

With reports coming in from several news outlets, Sanchez was abducted around 11:30PM on Monday (December 16) and the stirring video images showed at least two men drag and pull Sanchez into what was described as a tan, four-door sedan. The car drives off and the grainy video shows Sanchez’s mother protesting loudly in response to the brazen act.

Earlier today, news of the kidnapping began to spread after the issuance of an Amber Alert, which some on Twitter criticized for reportedly not having as many descriptive details for Sanchez in comparison to white victims. Sanchez and her mother, who reside in upstate New York, happened to be in the Bronx visiting family when the kidnapping began.

As reported by both CBS2 and the New York Post, Sanchez has reportedly confessed to the kidnapping after she was located by the NYPD. It has been alleged that Sanchez was unhappy about relocating to Honduras with her mother and there has been some speculation that her boyfriend was behind the act. Thus far, it doesn’t appear that Sanchez will be charged for the staged kidnapping, but authorities are still questioning others that may have some connection.

On Twitter, many are reacting to the news that Sanchez reportedly confessed to the kidnapping being staged and we’ve got those reactions and comments below.

Twitter Slams Chunky Jermaine Dupri Clone Dennis McKinley For Blaming Cheating On Porsha Williams

The Real Housewives of Atlanta - Season 11

Porsha Williams has been living out a nightmare onscreen as a cast member of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, this after it came out that her fiance cheated. In a new episode of the reality series, a therapy session revealed why Dennis McKinley stepped out and he’s putting the blame on his wife-to-be essentially.

Williams and McKinley are currently attempting to work things out, and were living apart but jointly raising their 8-month-old daughter during the filming of the episode. In the couples therapy session, McKinley shifted the blame of his own actions onto Williams, saying that sex during pregnancy and her postpartum depression was too much to bear.

“We had a rough pregnancy, all the way from start to finish,” McKinley shared during the session. “Sex during pregnancy, it’s nothing that a man wants to do … and after PJ got here, postpartum was very real. We cried together like every night. That’s not a good enough why, but that’s the why.”

McKinley went on to say that he realized that the decision to cheat on Williams was both “poor” and “selfish,” staying that he knows that he made a huge mistake. He again stated that he loves Williams and appears to be sincerely working things out with his wife-to-be. In closing, McKinley said that the priority is his baby girl

While McKinley’s words and gestures seemingly appeared to come from the heart, fans on Twitter are looking at McKinley sideways for putting Williams through the public embarrassment of cheating and further putting the blame on her in so many words.

We’ve got the reaction from fans on Twitter below.

The Wu-Tang Clan & Hip-Hop Reacts To The Passing Of Freedom “Popa Wu” Allah

RZA & Friends In Concert - New York, NY

Source: Al Pereira / Getty

As the news of Freedom “Popa Wu” Allah‘s passing continues to send shockwaves throughout the industry, many who knew and loved the wise spiritual guide of The Wu-Tang Clan. Taking to Twitter and Instagram, Popa Wu’s loved ones are joined in mourning after losing one of the most memorable voices of the culture.

Earlier, we reported on the news that Popa Wu transitioned with details scant at the time. Since our published work from earlier Monday (December 16), we’ve learned Popa Wu was 63 years of age and that there was an alternative spelling of his attribute (name) listed as “Freedum.”

U-God was among the first Wu-Tang Clan members to pay their respects for their fallen comrade, and other members such as GZA sharing a video clip of Popa Wu “building” (teaching Five Percent Nation lessons) in the Hulu series Wu-Tang: An American Saga. and Method Man reposted an older photo of the pair. Ghostface Killah, Cappadonna, and Raekwon also gave tribute on their respective social media pages.

Others such as R.A. The Rugged Man, Five Steez, and Justis Hype also shared kind words for Popa Wu, and it was Hype who reminded many that Popa Wu was far more than just a Wu-Tang Clan affiliate. He also operated a record label out of Brooklyn, and he also was an adviser to many up and coming rappers and producers all hoping to soak up his wisdom and outlook on life.

A common refrain among those who met Popa Wu in passing is that he imparted the same bristling gems of advice to them as he did across several Wu-Tang Clan tracks. We’ve collected some of those responses in the gallery below.

Peace to the God Freedom “Popa Wu” Allah. Rest Powerfully.

Nipsey Hussle’s Bodyguard Allegedly Lumped Up Wack 100 For Talking Down, Twitter Waves Checkered Flags

XXL Freshman Class 2019 Concert

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty

Wack 100 has swiftly become Public Enemy #1 is some Hip-Hop circles after he tripled down on comments questioning Nipsey Hussle‘s legendary status. The bodyguard of the late rapper allegedly put the mitts on Wack, and Twitter is waving checkered flags saying that the marathon continues for real.

Details are still coming in but it appears that folks are saying that a man named JRoc put the hands and feet on Wack with his artist, Blueface, grinning in the back. What video that is out there of the beatdown seems to show Wack shaking off the birds flying around his domepiece after catching the West Coast stomp and then chasing down the man who administered the fade.

Given the fact that Wack has been running his yap about Neighborhood Nip and the whole nine, it seems fitting that he would finally got chin-checked. And even if he didn’t get touched, something clearly happened to him of a physical sort as evidenced by the little bit of video that does exist.

As this story develops, we’ll fill in any missing details, including confirmation if JRoc truly did hand out the neck taper and lineup.  For now, check out the Twitter reactions below.

Bamma Boosters: Struggle Thieves Lift Clearance Rack Swag At Sears Hilltop, Twitter Got Jokes

Sears

Source: Smith Collection/Gado / Getty

Forgive us for saying this, but we weren’t aware that Sears was still a thing but apparently a location of the longtime department store still exists. The store’s name is trending after a video of thieves making out with armfuls of stolen goods went viral, and Twitter has been raining jokes down since the footage went public.

From our presumed observation, the theft took place at a Sears at Hilltop Mall in Richmond, Calif. in the state’s northern section. In the clip, the two thieves can be seen running and setting off the store’s security system. One man in a green hoodie is almost stopped by a foolish hero but handed out a mini-fade and edge-up before picking up what he dropped and kept it moving.

Folks on Twitter have been heaping monumental slander on the Bamma Boosters for stealing the finest in uncle and auntie fits to go along with their fresh chunky sole dad sneakers and after-market wedges. Seriously folks, never try to stop a thief because these stores have loss protection measures built into their budget. Trying to stop someone over $200 of clearance rack fashion is not the move.

You can peep all the epic slander below.

#RipNickCannon: Nick Cannon’s Eminem Diss Reply Has Twitter Paying Their Respects Early

MTV EMAs 2017 - Show

Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty

The beef between Eminem and Nick Cannon has been going on for years and just when we thought it was finally done, Slim Shady threw a jab on Fat Joe’s “Lord Above” track. Cannon has since responded and on Twitter, fans are paying their respects early as a hashtag, #ripnickcannon, has cropped up.

Nick Cannon is very much alive and well, but fans believe that his musical career and its lifespan is in jeopardy after Em’s verse prompted a response in the form of the “The Invitation,” a literal invitation in song form for a winner-takes-all battle between the pair that featured Suge Knight in a vocal cameo.

So far, it doesn’t look good for Cannon as fans believe he’s in over his head on this one. Based on Em’s recent and aforementioned feature, Cannon has his hands full for sure but he seems to be prepared for the smoke.

Check out all the reactions to the #ripnickcannon hashtag below.

Celebrities At The Los Angeles Lakers Game

Source: Allen Berezovsky / Getty

Lizzo is one of the most polarizing stars of her time, with fans who love her brash and bold fashion style and others who find it over the top. Regardless of where one stands, the “Truth Hurts” star turned heads during an NBA game and had the booty cheeks out which has Twitter split down the middle like, well, you know.

Lizzo was back home in Minnesota to watch the Timberwolves take on the Los Angeles Lakers. Wearing a little black dress with an open back that placed an emphasis on the artist’s exposed butt and matching black thong, Lizzo shut down the whole arena as expected.

But it didn’t end there as Lizzo, who sat her bare cheeks in an NBA seat, turned to the and hit a little twerk for the crowd and dropped it low. Of course, it got the desired reaction inside the Target Center but an unexpected response is brewing on Twitter.

While many people are celebrating the boldness and body acceptance, some are calling the move extra. We’ve captured all sides of the growing debate below.
