Nelly is now a certified veteran in the Hip-Hop scene who continues to tour extensively while reaping the benefits of his still-prominent fame. The St. Louis star praised rising Memphis rapper NLE Choppa, who paid homage to Nelly by taking some fashion cues from him for an upcoming video.
NLE Choppa, 20, teased a new video that comes out this Friday (Friday 28) with a series of images of him decked out in classic 1990s style with baggy jeans, a sports team jersey, an oversized t-shirt, and Nelly’s signature band-aid under one of his eyes. From another post showing the video in motion, it appears that the name of the song is “It’s Getting Hot,” which samples a particular song from Nelly that shouldn’t be hard to guess.
The “Hot In Herre” artist caught wind of NLE Choppa’s posts and saluted his younger counterpart by writing, “Go Up Nephew” complete with fire emojis with NLE Choppa responding with, “Nelly approved.”
It isn’t known what project the new song and video are attached to but comes after NLE Choppa’s second studio album, Cottonwood 2, which dropped this past April. Choppa made his official studio album debut back in 2020 with Top Shotta, which was preceded by a handful of mixtapes and an EP dating back to 2018.
On X (formerly known as Twitter), fans are reacting to the NLE Choppa mimicking the sound of Nelly. Check out those reactions below.

Jason Aldean got involved in America’s silly culture war after Country Music Television removed the video for his controversial song “Try That In A Small Town” from its platform. Because the MAGA Nuts and the “Respect My Rights” crowd are sensitive little cherubs, they’re complaining about the takedown while dragging Garth Brooks into the beef.
Let’s take our time with this one.
Jason Aldean, a popular country music star who once notched a big hit with Ludacris, has gone on to sell millions of for Nashville, Tenn’s Broken Bow Records. His latest single, “Try That In A Small Town,” pretends to be a song about the resilience of working-class America but the video makes no secret of its nefarious aims. It is a vehicle to take shots at the perceived lawlessness in big cities, most especially protests against police and public demonstrations decrying racism.
We usually don’t center tweets from goofballs in the body of a story but here’s an example of what the minds of proud Americans are focused on instead of, we don’t know, human decency and common sense, maybe?
Here are the lyrics and hook for “Try That In A Small Town”:
Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalkCarjack an old lady at a red lightPull a gun on the owner of a liquor storeYa think it’s cool, well, act a fool if ya like
Cuss out a cop, spit in his faceStomp on the flag and light it upYeah, ya think you’re tough
Well, try that in a small townSee how far ya make it down the roadAround here, we take care of our ownYou cross that line, it won’t take longFor you to find out, I recommend you don’tTry that in a small town
It is clear what Aldean is communicating and the video, reportedly shot in front of a former site where lynchings took place, speaks to the fragility of white conservative America and the silly attack on the “Woke Left” or whatever else these nutballs come up with.
Tacked onto Aldean’s controversy is some discussion from the MAGA weirdos about Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. Over a year ago, Brooks and Yearwood made a public appeal to help refugees caught up in the ravages of war in Ukraine. That video was resurfaced and the strawman arguments have only intensified.
Adding to this, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott made an explosive goof even by his lowly standards after sharing an article from the satirical website Dunning-Kruger-Times (which should’ve been a dead giveaway but here we are). The article was about a fictional moment featuring Brooks being booed offstage for supporting Bud Light. Before deleting the tweet, Gov. Abbott used the tired phrase “Go Woke. Go Broke.”
On Twitter, the dumbassery of MAGA is on full display over Jason Aldean, Garth Brooks, and all things ‘MURRICA. Check out the reactions below.

Drake is an artist that has just as many fans as he does folks who can’t stand him, and that was made clear after a new image surfaced on social media last night (July 18). The image in question featured Drake and rising rapper Sexyy Red with the Canadian superstar saying he just met his “rightful wife.”
Drake is currently in New York City on a seven-show run that kicked off on July 17 at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. During the run, Drizzy has already coaxed stars such as Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry alongside his wife, Ayesha Curry among other notables. Lil Yachty was also in tow and was introduced to the crowd by the OVO Sound honcho.
However, what has the attention of the people is a photo Drake shared on his Instagram story feed cozied up backstage with Sexyy Red, with the “Pound Town” rapper getting a loving smooch. The caption within the photo reads, “Just met my rightful wife” and that was all Twitter needed to get the discussion trending in all kinds of directions.
Drake is known for keeping his ear to the street and has collaborated in the past with a number of rising rappers who caught a wave while boosting their profile. Some online assume that the Toronto superstar is eyeing a collaboration with his St. Louis counterpart while others are assuming that love is on the horizon, which is just speculative at this point.

Jason Luv is currently enjoying a level of notoriety that he was always on the cusp of but boosted by his controversial adult film scene with Lena The Plug, the wife of Adam22. In subsequent interviews, video calls, and social media chatter, Jason Luv hasn’t exactly been humble about handling Adam22’s lightwork in the bedroom and it looks like they’re a beef battle on the horizon.
Because this whole debacle is getting a little long in the tooth, we’ll be brief. Adam22 and his wife Lena The Plug are adult entertainers themselves, having engaged in wild onscreen romps with guests on Lena The Plug’s podcast, Plug Talk, among other zany adventures.
However, Jason Luv was the first man Lena has slept with in the past seven years since being married to Adam22, real name Adam Grandmaison. And for those who have witnessed the scene, Luv put in a level of pipework that had Lena blushing in her recaps in front of her husband.
It should be noted that it appears that Adam22 and Lena specifically selected Luv for the task due to his specific looks, talent, and fanbase. Lena, a marketing genius like her husband, teased the big scene, which was released last week. In the details that have emerged, Adam22 paid more than double Luv’s usual rate for performance.
Luv was recently a guest on The Fan Van and while he was candid in a three-way video call with Adam and Lena, Luv went all the way left in this particular chat. Without getting into the gory details, words like “stretched” and he “hit her with all his best moves” which included ending the moment where it began, if you can catch our drift.
This week, Adam22 issued a warning towards Luv, citing that he’s had enough of the disrespect and that he didn’t appreciate having his member being compared to Luv in a disparaging way. Yeah, it’s really a lot.
We’re erring on the side of caution and not posting The Fan Van interview with Jason directly in the body of the text but you can find a snippet of what you’re looking for here.
For what it’s worth, we’re beginning to think this is just one long and uncomfortable joke.

Carlee Russell, a 25-year-old Black woman from Alabama who was reported missing late last week, has been found alive and currently receiving treatment at a local hospital for evaluation. Carlee Russell was first reported missing last Thursday (July 13) but was found and returned home Saturday evening (July 15).
As reported by local news outlet WVTM, Carlethia “Carlee” Nichole Russell reportedly made a 911 call saying that she saw a toddler wandering near a local interstate exit on her way home from her job at a nearby day spa. Russell was said to have stopped to speak to the child after speaking with her family who then lost contact with her. Russell’s car later was found intact at the site of the reported missing child but neither she nor the child was located.
Alarms were raised because many online noted that a common tactic used by human traffickers is to have a child or person looking lost in a remote or unoccupied area as bait. A trucker also told authorities they saw Russell’s car and that a grey vehicle pulled up in front of it.
A report from AL.com adds that Russell returned home Saturday to her family’s home in Hoover, Ala., and she was then taken to a hospital for treatment. It isn’t known where Russell was or what occurred in the time two days that she was reported missing. Russell was apparently on the phone with her brother’s girlfriend when she reportedly spotted the toddler near I-459.
On Twitter, speculation over the case of Carlee Russell prompted a number of responses ranging from concern and then skepticism. There were even some believing the incident was a hoax.
If further details are revealed to the public, we will update this post. For now, please see some of the reactions from Twitter.

Moriah Mills is back in the headlines this week after being suspended on Twitter for abusing the terms and conditions of the site while centering her former romantic partner, Zion Williamson. In a new social media clip, Moriah Mills claimed that Williamson physically abused her but Twitter is casting some doubt on her accusation.
Moriah Mills took to her TikTok page on Friday (July 15) to share a video explaining that Williamson allegedly paid her hush money to keep details of the physical abuse she claims to have suffered from the public view. It is the first time Mills has made such a claim, this after she has maintained a hot and cold stance on the 22-year-old New Orleans Pelicans star.
Via her now-suspended Twitter account, Mills shared intimate details of her relationship with Williamson after the player and the mother of his child did a public gender reveal via social media. Mills says she was blindsided by the news and aired out Williamson’s dirty laundry while also attacking Concrete Rose, the woman carrying their daughter.
With the TikTok video making its rounds on social media, folks are calling into question the timing of Mills’ message, who also says she’s expecting a child with Williamson. While domestic violence claims are never a laughing matter and should be investigated as the crime that it is, many on Twitter think this is a ploy on the part of Mills to shame Williamson into taking responsibility for reportedly wronging her and misrepresenting their romantic connection.
On Twitter, folks are reacting to the new Moriah Mills video claiming that Zion Williamson physically abused her. We’ve got the reactions below.

LeBron James, in the eyes of many, will go down as one of the best basketball players to ever lace them up and the accolades are numerous. Still, King James cast doubt if he’d return to the court for his 21st NBA season but that chatter was silenced at this year’s ESPYS Award ceremony.
LeBron James, 38, received the Best Record-Breaking Performance ESPY award Wednesday night (July 12) but before he went to deliver his moving acceptance speech, James’ wife, Savannah James introduced her husband to the Dolby Theatre crowd in Los Angeles in humorous fashion. Mrs. James was flanked by their three children, sons Bronny and Bryce, and daughter Zhuri.
James showed all of the poise of a veteran as he took the stage and thanked his supporters while taking note of his long list of detractors. In his speech, James told the crowd that his devotion to the game is still strong as it ever was and despite his advanced age, he still has a lot left to give. And it was in this speech that the kid from Akron, Ohio let the world know that he was running it back.
“I don’t care how many more points I score or what I can or cannot do on the floor,” James said. “The real question for me is, ‘Can I play without cheating this game?’ The day I can’t give everything on the floor is the day I’ll be done. Lucky for you guys, that day is not today.”
Among the attendees were some of James’ former teammates such as Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, and others. James’ speech was met with approving nods and applause from the crowd, and the news certainly delighted Lakers Nation who all assumed that after the team was swept by the Denver Nuggets in this year’s Western Conference playoffs, James would retire.
On Twitter, LeBron James saw his name trending with people celebrating the news along with some requisite hate, something James mentioned in his speech. We’ve got reactions from all sides below.

Sukihana is known for her explicit rap lyrics and sexy image, using those angles to varying degrees via her popular OnlyFans page. However, one clip of Sukihana pleasuring herself to the point of a big splash of sorts has Twitter reacting in ways she might not have expected.
We want to be absolutely clear that Sukihana is free to do whatever she wants and this post is not a critique of her or the video in question. We’re just reporting on the reactions. Also, we’re not sharing any links to that video but it’s out there if you must see it.
Doing our due diligence, we’ve come across the leaked video on Twitter in brief clips which shows Sukihana and her hoo hoo on full display, and after a bit of crossfader activity, the floodgates open but in a way we don’t think anyone was prepared for.
As some might know, the social media star and rapper deactivated her Twitter account after a disturbing exchange between her and YK Osiris took place when he tried to kiss Sukihana without her consent. YK Osiris has since apologized.
Suki was also a guest on the Kandi Koated podcast with Kandi Burruss and DJ AONE. Burruss’ co-host shocked many with his aggressive come-ons and reportedly showed Suki an image of his equipment that she didn’t ask for.
Still, the goodwill most extended towards Sukihana during those awful moments all but got tossed to the side after the OnlyFans video leak and folks are pissed off, pun very much intended.

Jamie Foxx is on the mend after suffering a medical incident this past April and from the looks of things, the famed actor and entertainer is in good health. Foxx was spotted in Chicago over the weekend and fans on Twitter are delighted over the news.
As reported by TMZ, Jamie Foxx, 55, was spotted on the Chicago River and waved while seated atop a boat looking fit as he typically does. The image supports Foxx’s daughter, Corrine Foxx, confirming that her father was indeed back in good health months ago but has noticeably kept a low profile.
The outlet also obtained footage of Foxx hanging out at a Naperville, Ill. Top Golf facility with observers noting that they didn’t see any signs of the reported stroke that the Texas native reportedly suffered while filming the upcoming feature, Back In Action.
Foxx is reportedly in Chicago attending a rehab facility that focuses on the treatment of strokes along with physical therapy and the Top Golf location is said to be nearby. As of now, Foxx is continuing his stance of not speaking publicly about the health matter and the family has also elected to keep mum about Foxx’s health details and condition.
Adding to this, Foxx shared a tweet promoting his bourbon brand with another encouraging message to his supporters.
With the news that Jamie Foxx is no longer out of the public eye, fans took to Twitter to celebrate the news as expected. We’ve got those reactions listed below.

Druski is perhaps the top funnyman on social media today and displays his comedic talents often via a variety of skits and Instagram Live sessions. The Georgia native recently invited Birdman to a live Instagram broadcast and folks on Twitter can’t tell if it’s a bit from Druski or if Birdman was truly putting the press on him.
In times past, Druski launched a satirical Coulda Been Records as part of his ongoing comedy and content routines but actually established the brand as a real operating record label. The logo for Druski’s company curiously looks like the one used by Birdman’s Cash Money Records imprint and it appeared that the chat was about to go left.
At one point, Birdman tells Druski that he has “female steppas” ready to handle his business over people playing with his brand and name. We’re not entirely sure, but we believe the entire conversation is meant to be an extended sketch. On Twitter, one person noted that Birdman, who clearly gave off a menacing air, almost broke character.
Birdman even praised Druski at one point of the conversation only to walk it back immediately after. Again, if this is indeed a bit, Birdman should definitely consider acting in the near future.
