The Shade Room cemented itself as one of the top celebrity gossip hubs in the vast space of such content, but they’re getting a bit of pushback from fans at the moment. After the social media page of The Shade Room posted then deleted an image of Doja Cat wearing a devil outfit, they doubled down with a message about faith causing fans to react on Twitter.
Salute to Pop Crave for catching the moment that apparently happened earlier Friday morning (Feb. 24). In the tweet below, Doja Cat’s sultry photo was reportedly shared on Shade Room’s Instagram page and taken down.
Shortly after, the popular page posted an image featuring the words, “I will never be ashamed of my faith” with the caption reading, “If you want to know what side of faith we stand on, we stand for God. We stand for Jesus. If you do too, throw up your [praying hands emoji] in the comments – #ToBeClear #NotAshamed #GoodMorning #MorningInspiration #John316.”
What isn’t readily clear is if the message The Shade Room shared was in connection to the Doja Cat photo or just part of the brand’s usual content flow but most fans on Twitter found the statement to be contradictory considering what content is usually covered by the page. Further, this adds fuel to a growing rumor that famed church leader TD Jakes either owns or is connected to the brand.
Without passing judgment, plenty of sites operate under the same pattern that Shade Room undertakes but few have been as successful as the brand. As it stands, folks are really letting the page have it online and it doesn’t look like it’s letting up anytime soon.
We’ve gathered some of the reactions to the page’s faith-based post below. Also, we’ve added the photos of Doja Cat too.

Blueface and Chrisean Rock have one of the more toxic public relationships today and it looks like things are going even more off the rails. The Los Angeles rapper posted an alleged series of texts from Lil Baby that were sent to Rock, and Blueface is accusing the Atlanta star of pretending to be a “big brother.”
Blueface took to Twitter on Monday (Feb. 20) and shared the alleged DMs from Lil Baby towards Chrisean Rock writing in the caption, “Met my b*tch one time talm bout he “big brother” [crying laughing emoji] You ain’t no son to me the truth could never be a dis.”
The alleged DMs read, “It’s Baby. Why people saying I was in your DM [crying laughing emojis]. Why you ain’t tell them I’m a big brother. I hate sh*t like that.”
In a following string of tweets, Blueface made veiled threats towards Lil Baby.
“I run this sh*t on sy be mad if you want to b*tch post my messages I’m bleeding anything come thru my Territory without checking In welcome to death row,” read one tweet.
In another tweet, he added, “Anything that makes rock boom I’m all for it even if I gotta look bad I ain’t bring her to the top for you n*ggas to play fake big brother an fake like you want to work for a picture or some p*ssy let’s do business or move around it’s very simple I invested in this long time ago.”
This issue looks to have been brewing for a while after Rock shared during an Instagram Live session that she crossed paths with Baby during Super Bowl Weekend. Blueface was not approving of that exchange as well.
As it stands, many are reacting to Blueface’s tweets and assumed threats towards Lil Baby although he didn’t use direct messages to the rapper’s user name on Twitter.
On the sidelines, folks have plenty to say and we’ve got the reactions listed below.

Elon Musk is once more in the crosshairs of the public after Twitter users woke up Saturday morning to find that an essential security measure for their accounts was removed. Two-factor authentication via SMS, one of the more normalized security measures for online security, will now exist behind the Twitter Blue paywall and people are letting Musk have it.
While the mandate didn’t come from Elon Musk directly, fears were confirmed by a new post on Twitter’s blog explaining the new move and how two-factor authentication via SMS will change going forward.
From the Twitter blog:
While historically a popular form of 2FA, unfortunately we have seen phone-number based 2FA be used – and abused – by bad actors. So starting today, we will no longer allow accounts to enroll in the text message/SMS method of 2FA unless they are Twitter Blue subscribers. The availability of text message 2FA for Twitter Blue may vary by country and carrier.
Non-Twitter Blue subscribers that are already enrolled will have 30 days to disable this method and enroll in another. After 20 March 2023, we will no longer permit non-Twitter Blue subscribers to use text messages as a 2FA method. At that time, accounts with text message 2FA still enabled will have it disabled. Disabling text message 2FA does not automatically disassociate your phone number from your Twitter account. If you would like to do so, instructions to update your account phone number are available on our Help Center.
Twitter’s explanation did not seem to calm the fears or criticism from the platform’s massive pool of users and many are lashing out saying that this is another tactic from Musk to tear down the once-mighty space.
Keep scrolling to see the reactions to Twitter’s new two-factor authentication via SMS rules and Elon Musk below.

The Black National Anthem, also widely known as “Lift Every Voice & Sing,” was performed expertly by Sheryl Lee Ralph ahead of Super Bowl LVII. Because Black people can’t have nice things, powerful conservative figures and others from the GOP side of the aisle complained on social media about the emotionally stirring moment.
The Black National Anthem was performed for the third year in a row ahead of the NFL’s biggest game on Feb. 12, with Ralph, a notable singer along as an award-winning actress, taking on the classic with ease. Shortly after her performance, Trump muppets and salty conservatives revved up the complaint train and accused the Super Bowl of wokeness, which we know is code for “it’s getting too Black in here.”
Ralph was rightly proud of her moment and shared the news via social media, which sparked the angry pitchfork mob to stir up some unnecessary mess and tried to take shots while using tired tropes of evoking the name of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
One Twitter user, who won’t dignify with posting their username, had the nerve to write to Ralph, “No disrespect to anyone, but MLK didn’t call for a separate anthem, did he? He didn’t call for segregated dorms and black-only graduations, did he? He called for unity, as I recall. I prefer his “content of their character” prescription over divisive “separate but equal” anthems.”
Yep. It was like that.
Just for context, we’ll share some of the other loser comments from the butt-hurt clowns who claim to be patriots and champions of fairness while taking down the big bad of “wokeness” from their cushy seats.
