Meek Mill's faced criticism in the past for numerous reasons but he recently caught flack after a video of himself offering his son cash to eat crickets surfaced. The rapper dared his son to take on the task with $1K as the reward for doing so. The rapper did caption the video, “Don't call child services on me mind ya business.” Perhaps the Internet did abide by his request but the video quickly went viral and it appears as though Meek felt the need to do some damage control before the controversy grew legs of its own.
Meek Mill took to Twitter to dispel rumors that his son was eating live crickets, claiming he had purchased them from the store. “Mannn that shit was from the candy store lol complex not this,” he wrote. It is unclear if the crickets were fake or simply one of those chocolate-covered delicacies. Either way, Meek didn't seem like he wanted to go down this route today.
In related news, the rapper recently confirmed that he does have another child on the way..

Nicki Minaj uploaded one of her most explicit pieces of content ever yesterday, proving to the world once and for all that she can twerk with the best of them when she stripped off her clothes and moved her booty to her new single “Yikes.” Given the fact that she's basically not wearing any clothes in the clip, it was only a matter of time before Minaj found herself on adult entertainment websites, like Pornhub. Being alerted that the video had been added to the website's database, the Queens rapper double-checked for herself and let out an audible laugh when she read the caption they had written.
Finding its way onto Pornhub, thirsty Nicki Minaj fans can now search for “Juicy Thick Trinidadian Twerking” if they're looking for an uncensored version of the NSFW dance. Minaj stumbled upon it and had to take a screenshot for her Instagram Story, pointing out the caption and adding a laughing emoji.
In another upload, the rapper confirmed that she is the woman in the video ..

Ever since the firing of David Fizdale, the New York Knicks have been led by interim head coach, Mike Miller. While many throughout the organization like Miller, it seems as though the Knicks will be looking to move on in the offseason. One of the names that have been brought up as a replacement is none other than Tom Thibodeau who has been out of a job since last season when he was fired by the Minnesota Timberwolves. In a new report, it was revealed that Thibodeau has been doing consultant work ever since and has been bouncing around the country.
In fact, Thibodeau currently has no real home and has been going from place to place for work. With no permanent residence, Thibodeau is looking to settle down and some think he is dead set on working for the New York Knicks.

Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images“He really wants the Knick job, he can taste it and he may even be in the lead,” someone close to the coach told Marc Berman of the New York Post.
Considering Thibodeau's experience, it..

Adele was photographed by paparazzi photographers in the midst of a shouting match, leading to some pretty unflattering pictures of the star. Announcing that her upcoming album would be released in September 2020, fans of the English singer are patiently counting down the months until her latest break-up anthems see the light of day. Following her 100-pound weight loss journey, Adele is looking better than ever but, after she was followed to and from her friend's wedding this week, she was visibly upset and began shouting from the confines of her vehicle.
As reported by Page Six, the record-breaking singer was leaving her friend's wedding ceremony on Saturday evening when she noticed some cameras snapping photos of her in London. She quickly threw up her middle finger before becoming absolutely irate, chewing out the shutterbugs and likely cursing them out with all sorts of profane terms. The 31-year-old attempted to hide her face with a bouquet of flowers but, unfortunately,..

LaMelo Ball is one of the most intriguing prospects heading into the 2020 NBA Draft, thanks to his size, length, highly touted court vision and basketball IQ. It should come as no surprise then that Ball continues to be listed among the Top 5 picks in every mock draft you can find, including ESPN's latest ranking.

Anthony Au-Yeung/Getty ImagesESPN's Jonathan Givony dropped off his updated 2020 NBA Mock Draft on Tuesday, revealing that he has Ball going fourth overall to the New York Knicks. According to Marc Berman of the New York Post, an NBA source claims that the Knicks will prioritize adding a scoring point guard with their lottery pick, and the 6'7 Ball certainly fits the bill.
So who does Givony have slated as the Top 3 picks? Based off the current standings and projection of how the next two months will play out, the Cleveland Cavaliers will take Georgia shooting guard Anthony Edwards No. 1 overall. The 6'5 freshman is currently averaging 19 points per game ..

While it may not be as popular as the High OG, there is something to say about the fashion sensibilities of the Air Jordan 1 Mid. The sneaker is much more accessible as colorways are typically well-stocked and the price is much less expensive. These factors make the Jordan 1 Mid an excellent choice for sneakerheads who are on a budget but still want something classic that looks great on foot.
Over the past few years, Jordan Brand has been delivering a plethora of new Jordan 1 Mid colorways and now, we are getting yet another one. This “Digital Pink” offering is for women sneakerheads only. As you can see, the shoe is made of various shades of pink with leather overlays on top of a suede toe box. If you're looking for something with vibrant colors, you're definitely going to want to check these out.
For now, these do not have a price or a release date although they should be dropping within the coming weeks. Let us know in the comments below what you think of this colorway an..

Kawhi Leonard doesn't care if Gatorade is an official sponsor of the NBA – if they aren't cutting him a check he will simply refuse to give that tasty sports drink any free publicity. Those are the rules.
Case in point, Kawhi made sure to remove the bottle of Gatorade that was intentionally placed on his table ahead of his post-game interview on Sunday night. The best part is you can even hear Kawhi, perfectly on brand, mutter to himself, “Not sponsored by Gatorade.”
Of course, this viral clip is giving Gatorade even more exposure but that's besides the point here. Kawhi may be the most unintentionally funny athlete of all time given his stoic nature and expressionless demeanor both on and off the court. The guy (possibly robot) is all business all the time – no frills, fluff or fuss.
And this video begs the question: Does he conduct an ocular sweep of the podium for any non-sponsored products every time he conducts an interview? If so, nobody noticed until Sunday's..

Antonio Brown was a perennial all-star for the Pittsburgh Steelers during the better part of a decade. Unfortunately, his relationship with the team took a strange turn as he demanded a trade and eventually left for the Oakland Raiders. Eventually, Brown was cut by the Raiders and picked up by the New England Patriots. He only lasted one game with the Pats and now, he is out of work.
Recently, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was on ESPN First Take and he was asked by Stephen A. Smith about Brown's status with the team. Smith was curious as to whether or not the Steelers would ever consider a reunion with the star. While it's not totally off the table, it's certainly not something that's being heavily discussed.
“We have no current business interest at this time,” Tomlin said. His answer shouldn't come as too much of a surprise considering the Steelers and AB ended things on bad terms. Sometimes, there are irreconcilable differences, especially with all of the ..

With time, the hip-hop community is opening up to include a wider range of sexualities, which is long overdue. The actions of Young Thug (who wore a dress on his album cover), Jaden Smith (who cryptically revealed his “relationship” with Tyler, The Creator), Lil Nas X (who came out as gay last year), and Kevin Abstract (who proudly raps about his sexuality often), the genre is becoming more and more diversified. There is still a lot of work to go but, with Swae Lee going this direction on his collaborative effort with Giuseppe Zanotti, another small step has just been taken.
Announcing a floral design of sneakers designed by Swae Lee and Giuseppe Zanotti last month, the Rae Sremmurd singer's work with the fashion designer doesn't end there. In an interview with Footwear News, Swae Lee explained why he's been so adamant on challenging gender norms, which led to the inception of his high-heeled design for men.
“A lot of [rappers] are fucking scared to wear shit. They want ..
