Shameik Moore got trolled across the social media-verse after Hailee Steinfeld and Buffalo Bills star quarterback Josh Allen got engaged over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. He can now add that engaged model/actress Laura Harrier called him out for some weird online behavior.
Laura Harrier, who just so happened to almost be the love interest of Tom Holland’s Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Homecoming, had time for Shameik Moore, who is the voice of Miles Morales from the animated Spider-Verse films.
In a since-deleted video, Harrier, who admits she likes to keep things private, didn’t name Moore while addressing a post he shared, which featured an old video of the two of them together.
“Hey, so I never talk on this thing… I’m a really private person, so I don’t really like to talk about relationships publicly or anything really personal publicly, to be honest,” she began.
Harrier explained that she felt compelled to speak out about the post only because she kept getting tagged in it. This led many to speculate about a potential relationship between the two actors. The video in question features both Moore and Harrier posing for photos, which she explains was over a year ago.
“When he first posted that video, a friend sent it to me and was like, ‘Did you know he put this up?’ And I was like, no,” Harrier says in the video. “That was taken a year ago at a party when somebody asked us to take photos together. I guess somebody was filming it. Not sure why you would post that now.”
Harrier Says She Reached Out To Moore, Telling Him To Take The Post Down
She reveals that she reached out to Moore directly to tell him to take the video down. “I texted him… I said, ‘Hey, can you take this down? Not sure why you would post that. Also, I’m literally getting married, and I don’t like this insinuation that there’s something going on between us.”
Frustrated that her request for the video to be taken down was not being honored, she lashed out to Moore, “It’s still up, which is f***ing weird. You’re a f***ing weirdo. I’m sorry, you’re a f***ing weirdo, and I’m f***ing annoyed.”
Welp.
As expected, social media is once again trashing our friendly, and seemingly weird neighborhood Spider-Man.
Shameik Moore is soooo fucking weird for this. im so glad laura spoke up because what the fuck is this clout chasing loser thinking?? pic.twitter.com/wrOxOisIEk

Let’s hope this is where it ends. We don’t need any drama to prevent the release of Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse’s release. The film has already had its wig pushed back numerous times already.

When it comes to superhero flicks and the DCEU, their track record is spotty. But the teaser trailer for James Gunn’s highly anticipated turn at the helm of’ Superman is going to get the fanboys salivating.
Krypto, Superman’s pet dog of Kryptonian ancestry, makes an early appearance, so you already know it’s going to be lit. Besides Kal-El (portrayed by David Corenswet) being bloodied after catching a fade, we get images of Clark Kent, Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) and even Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathegi). It’s not like DC ever lacked in characters, it’s about getting the most out of them on the big screen.
Did we mention Jimmy Olsen makes an appearance, too.
Gunn directed Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy and the same sense style looks, at least initially, like it will translate well for the Big Blue Boy Scout. Here’s hoping. And yeah, that’s electric guitar version of John Williams’ classic “Superman Theme” heard throughout,
Superman is due in theaters July 11, 2025. Watch the teaser trailer below.

Will Smith is adamantly denying having being involved in any sort of nefarious behavior with Sean “Diddy” Combs. While the Oscar-wiining actor was back in rapper mode, he addressed all the memes that funny not funnily link him with the disgraced Hip-Hop mogul.
On Thursday, December 12, the Fresh Prince was on stage at The Observatory North Park in San Diego when he decided it was past time to address the jokes. “I been seein’ y’all memes and stuff. I see the memes. Some of that stuff is funny, some of it’s funny,” said Smith, and as see in footage now making the rounds.
He added, “I just wanna say this very clearly: I don’t have sh*t to do with Puffy, so you all can stop all them memes. Y’all can stop all of that bulls**t. I ain’t been nowhere near no damn ‘Freak Off.’”
#WillSmith is telling fans he’s got no #Diddy dirty laundry … because he’s never been tight with the disgraced rap mogul. Full story here: https://t.co/pW6O90eJ7M pic.twitter.com/paVvPSPgi2
— TMZ (@TMZ) December 13, 2024
Unless you’ve been willfully avoiding the media, you’ve already heard that Diddy is indicted and sitting in jail awaiting trial for multiple charges of sexual assault. And more accusers continue to come forward seemingly every other day.
But while Smith may not have attended any freak offs (he also added, “I ain’t been nowhere near that man, ain’t did none of that stupid s**t.”), he’s certainly appeared with Diddy in many photos over the years. But so have most any rappers and entertainers of note.
Combs has pled not guilty and will be standing trial on May 5, 2025.

50 Cent Reveals Drake’s Alleged ‘Opp List’: Who’s On It?
50 Cent has shocked fans by unveiling Drake’s so-called “opp list” during a recent interview with Big Boy TV.
The list, which includes over 60 names, has sparked intrigue, especially amidst Drizzy’s ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar and his involvement in a lawsuit with UMG.
The rapper revealed a printed version of the list, which appears to highlight individuals and entities that Drake allegedly views as his enemies.
From fellow rappers to high-profile figures in the entertainment industry, even major institutions like award shows make an appearance.

Drake hasn’t toured since 2018, and his long-standing beefs, particularly with Kendrick Lamar, have been a constant topic of discussion.
But what does it mean to be on Drake’s “opp list”? According to 50 Cent, it’s a result of Drake’s massive success and how certain people, perhaps feeling threatened by his dominance, have become adversaries.
“Drake was winning consistently more than everybody else in the culture,”
50 Cent explained, holding up the list during the interview.
“And then these people start to turn into people that feel like they’re opps, ‘cause they keep watching him win.”
He ran his fingers along the list as he spoke, suggesting the growing number of people who may be looking to take shots at the Canadian rapper.
The origins of the list are unclear, but some fans speculate that it was first shared by the X account Drake Debate in October 2024.
However, it was 50 Cent’s recent mention of it that gave the list new life, sparking even more conversations about the people Drake might consider his “opp.”

Telling his story on his terms, Jamie Foxx revealed to the world and his fans in his new Netflix comedy special Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was what exactly was the medical emergency that almost took his life in 2023.
Screaming “I’m back!” while dancing and exciting the crowd, the talented multihyphenate revealed that doctors at the Piedmont Hospital just 400 yards away from the Atlanta theater saved his life.
Before he revealed the answer to the burning question, what was the “mystery illness” that almost ended his story? Foxx said while fighting tears, “Please, Lord, let me get through this.”
Jame Foxx’s Sister’s Decision To Take Him To The Hospital Saved His Life
As he promised, he told his story, but using comedy, revealing to the crowd, “April 11, I had a bad headache, and I asked my boy for Aspirin. I realized quickly that when you’re in a medical emergency, your boys don’t know what the f*** to do.”
He revealed that before he could even swallow the Aspirin, he was unconscious for weeks, even joking about some lackluster care he received from one doctor before he got to the root of the issue.
“I don’t remember 20 days,” Foxx told the crowd. His friends told him that one doctor they took him to gave him a cortisone shot and sent him on his way. “What the fuck is that?” Foxx joked. “I don’t know if you can do Yelps for doctors, but that’s half a star.”
But his sister, Deidra Dixon, knew her brother was in serious trouble. “She says, ‘Get him in the car. That ain’t my brother right there,’” Foxx revealed. “She drove around — she didn’t know anything about Piedmont Hospital, but she had a hunch that some angels [were] in there.”
At the hospital, doctors told Dixon her brother was “having a brain bleed that has led to a stroke,” and had they not caught it sooner, he would have died. “My sister knelt down outside the operating room and prayed the whole time,” Foxx continued.
He claims it “was kind of oddly peaceful,” speaking of being unconscious and adding, “I saw the tunnel. I didn’t see the light.” Foxx then joked, “It was hot in that tunnel. Shit, am I going to the wrong place in this motherfucker? Because I looked at the end of the tunnel, and I thought I saw the Devil like, ‘C’mon.’ Or is that Puffy [Sean Combs]?”
Jamie Foxx Couldn’t Walk
Following his surgery, the doctor told Dixon he “may be able to make a full recovery, but it’s going to be the worst year of his life.” Foxx concurred: “That’s what it was.”
It was after that Dixon and his daughter Corinne Marie Foxx decided it was time to “cut it all off,” keeping all information from hitting the internet. “They didn’t want you to see me like that. And I didn’t want you to see me like that,” Foxx said while visibly choking up. “I want you to see me like this.”
When Foxx woke up at a Chicago rehabilitation center on May 4, he couldn’t understand why he was in a wheelchair and could not understand why he had a stroke because, as he puts it, “Jamie Foxx doesn’t have strokes.”
Foxx also shared an emotional story about his 14-year-old daughter sneaking into his room with her guitar to play songs for him, which helped his high vitals go down, also saving his life.
The comedian also did impressions of Katt Williams, Donald Trump, Denzel Washington, Dave Chappelle, Mike Tyson, and Jay-Z. He addressed conspiracy theories regarding him being a “clone” and made sure to remind folks he is a musical powerhouse as well.
Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was is now streaming on Netflix.

However, both artists quickly reconciled online, with each professing their love and respect for the other.
Fast forward to JT’s birthday, and the two were seen together, laughing and showing affection. Their reunion marks the end of the tension that had been brewing for months, and fans are thrilled to see them back on good terms.

Regardless of whether they’re collaborating or going solo, it’s clear that both Yung Miami and JT are destined for success in their careers.
