Monkey Business

Weekly Buzz

Chris Brown is finally facing jail time and charges, not for that, but for owning a pet monkey without a permit. Brown has been charged with two counts of owning a restricted species without a permit. It’s too bad that mistreating a monkey is taken more seriously than serially abusing and assaulting people.

Jack Attack

Weekly Buzz

This week it was revealed that the CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, sent some of his beard hair to Azealia Banks so she could make an amulet to protect him from ISIS. He claims to have never received the Amulet back but he also hasn’t been attacked by ISIS, so it is pretty clear that it worked. If only Azealia had enough time to make them for everyone and end ISIS. Presumably this will be part of Kanye’s platform for President to bring peace to the Middle East.

Cardi B Bothered

Weekly Buzz

After their separation and Cardi B filing for divorce, her estranged husband Offset decided it was best to publicly interrupt one of her performances and present her with flowers in an awkward and cringeworthy attempt to win her back. The public display certainly seems like it was equally aimed at turning public perception back to his side after he cheated on her multiple times. He grabs the microphone and says “I’m sorry bruh” to Cardi, which is what you say in college when you throw up in your friend’s apartment, not to your wife and mother of your child after you cheat on her multiple times.

It is well documented the feud between Cardi B and Nikki Minaj, so when Nikki saw that Cardi had managed to date a terrible guy she had to outdo her. Nikki’s new boyfriend known as “Zoo” presumably because he’s spent so much time in cage, is a registered sex offender for attempted rape and has been to prison for fatally shooting someone. So congrats to Nikki she won this round and found the worst man she could.

Cardi B Single

Weekly Buzz

Hip Hop’s hottest couple is officially over as Cardi B has announced she is getting a divorce after once again evidence of Offset cheating on her has surfaced. Beyoncé and Jay-Z have reclaimed their throne after a wildly successful tour as a couple. I guess Cardi should have released a whole album about her husband cheating on her and not just one song. Seems to be the key to keeping your man from straying again, one song didn’t cut it. One of the women who Offset cheated on Cardi with, who Cardi B allegedly threw a bottle at, is now dating Tekashi 6ix9ine and got a tattoo of “69” on her shoulder. They were only dating for 6ix days before he was hauled off to jail though and is facing 32 years to life. This week prosecutes found a bunch of selfies taken at sights of multiple armed robberies that show Tekashi at the scene of the crime. Doesn’t bode well for their relationship, but I don’t think anyone has ever regretted getting a tattoo for someone after knowing them less than a week or regretted getting “69” tattooed on their body either.

Uganda be Kidding Me

Weekly Buzz

You may have heard that Kanye and Kim met with the horrible President recently, no not that one, the horrible President of Uganda. Kanye was so impressed with a Safari he saw he said he wanted to turn Uganda into “Jurassic Park”. However, had he done even a little bit to look up Uganda he may have realized that they A) They have no Dinosaurs, and B) Have a malicious Anti-Gay hatemonger of a President. He has pushed for the death penalty for gay sex and same sex marriage and took the death penalty off the table as his way of negotiating the bill more towards the middle. Problem is there is no negotiating on civil rights and nobody should be visiting him to help legitimize and stabilize the dictator in charge of Uganda since 1986.

Weekly Buzz

Vic Mensa took his opportunity to speak while receiving his award for Best New Artist at the BET HIp-Hop Awards to speak about holding artists accountable for their actions. Specifically he was talking about the late XXXTentacion, who had brutally beaten his pregnant girlfriend, and was still widely embraced in the rap community. Mensa said “ I vehemently reject the trend in hip-hop ofL championing abusers, and I will not hold my tongue about it…. I don’t give a fuck about getting attention I care about bringing awareness and holding people accountable for their actions”. Speaking of hip-hop championing abusers, Drake brought out Chris Brown for a recent show in LA, so it is good everyone is on the same page.

Suge Knight pleaded guilty and was sentenced to over twenty years in prison for voluntary manslaughter, not for his involvement as a driver during Tupac’s death though. He was upset he was portrayed as a violent man in the Straight Outta Compton movie, including scenes where he pistol whipped a man over a parking spot. To clear his reputation about being violent in parking lots, he decided to run two men over with his truck in a burger place parking lot. The former Death Row Records co-founder then tried to sell the tape of him murdering a man to TMV, fired twelve lawyers including two who tried to bribe witnesses on his behalf. He now is looking at prison into his eighties.

Former pro wrestler Ric Flair got married at 68 last week, and befitting a wedding with guests like Dennis Rodman, he walked up to the altar in a white suit while Offset’s Ric Flair Drip played in the background.

50 Cent (along with the rest of G-Unit) complained about the lack of originality in the Rap game with Snoop, the irony was lost on them about complaining about originality while 50 was wearing the exact same shirt in a different color as the guy next to him was wearing. It looks like both their moms went to the same sale at Marshall’s and then they showed up on the first day of school accidentally matching. The plus side was Snoop’s amazing impression of Mumble Rap.

Queen of Sore Losers

Weekly Buzz

Nicki Minaj has been losing her mind over losing the #1 album spot to Travis Scott for the past 2 weeks. She has been going on rants on Twitter, blaming everyone from Travis to her own Label. She says that Travis has been cheating to boost his sales by juicing his numbers. Which is an interesting accusation from someone who decided to show the maximum amount of her breasts possible on the album cover and coincidentally go crazy the same week her album came out. Near the end of her rant she posted the classic "I'm not mad I can't believe people thought I was really mad I was being sarcastic" tweet. Then in a really weird twist compared herself trying to get streaming numbers to count on Billboard to Harriet Tubman freeing slaves.

Late Night Short Circuit

Weekly Buzz

Kanye went on Jimmy Kimmel's show doing his best impersonation of a human, but it was still a poor job. The interview is extremely awkward, it reminded me of when you talk to someone who is really weird at a party and you ask if they are on drugs and they are sober. Somehow them being sober is much more disturbing than if they listen off a bunch of drugs they were on to explain their weird behavior and interactions. Kanye also stood up James Corden who tried to book him 3 times for Carpool Karaoke but Kanye just kept cancelling at the last minute and cost the show $45k. I didn't really need this story to know that Kanye has a one star Uber rating, I doubt he has ever arrived for a ride on time in his life. 

Speaking of Late night shows, here is the Mean Tweets clip for Rappers that came out this week (and yes it is a life goal of mine to have my tweet featured on here). Also if you never know who I am talking about when I write these posts each week this video is a good way to figure out who some of these people are.
