Antonio Brown might not ever lace up the cleats again to take to the gridiron, but it appears he’s finding new ways to go deep if you’re catching our drift. A clip of the NFL player allegedly delivering the hammer to the mother of his children made it to the Internet streets and folks have plenty of questions.

Antonio Brown, 34, found his name trending on Twitter Wednesday morning (Jan. 18) after a SnapChat video of him and the mother of his children allegedly doing the deed. While we haven’t seen the video in full, plenty of screencaps of the clip have been shared over and over via Twitter with folks making the requisite jokes.

Some users are even saying that this is nothing more than a promo ad for Brown’s foray into adult content but it isn’t known how the video made its way to the public. And because some people have little decorum and are parched by nature, a few folks are saluting Brown’s “little soldier” and say he might have a career in the skin game ahead of him.

We’re not sure if Donda Sports is still a thing or if Brown is still the president of the sports agency founded by Ye FKA Kanye West, considering all that’s happened recently with the Chicago superstar.

A quick scan of Brown’s Twitter feed doesn’t directly address the sex tape footage but does display some of the Miami, Fla. native’s brash and outsized personality. In a series of tweets on Tuesday (Jan. 17), Brown cryptically wrote, “Somewhere between psy·chot·ic and i·con·ic” and “Don’t play wit me Play Football” among other musings.

To check out the reaction to Antonio Brown and his Snapchat sexcapades, keep scrolling.

UPDATE:

As reported by TMZ, Antonio Brown’s Snapchat account was suspended after being reported by the woman in question in the video, Chelsie Kyriss, who is the mother of Brown’s children. She also shared a statement on social media condemning the actions of her ex and says that the video was a private moment from their since-ended relationship.

Right-Wing Bozo Nick Adams Puts Struggle MAGA “Musician” Kid Rock Over Bruce Springsteen

HipHopWired Featured Video

Kid Rock fans are a curious bunch these days, especially given the Detroit artist’s deep embrace of Donald Trump and all things MAGA. Conservative blowhard Nick Adams posted a ludicrous tweet on Tuesday (Jan. 17) declaring the birthday boy (he turns 52 today) is a better artist than veteran rocker and actual musician Bruce Springsteen.

We won’t dignify or help Adams’ on the Twitter engagement tip by linking his tweet but we’ll share what was written by the Aussie commentator.

From Nick Adams’ Twitter feed:

Kid Rock is more talented, both lyrically and musically, than Bruce Springsteen, and it’s not particularly close.

Kid Rock’s music perfectly captures the essence of America in a way Springsteen could only dream of.

I don’t understand how this is even a discussion.

Let it hang in the air a bit.

Okay, so now that we’re composing ourselves after laughing, we’re happy to report that folks on Twitter are eating up the so-called “Alpha Male” up in subsequent Quote Tweets and replies. Since Springsteen seems to do things befitting of a man of his fame and stature, like giving back to charity and being a true patriot in support of all Americans, he’s been deemed “woke” by right-wing nutballs who believe their way of American life is the gold standard.

Corade’s Prayer: Naomi Osaka Announces Pregnancy, Twitter Says Cordae Won At Life

Cordae found his name trending on Twitter starting on Wednesday (Jan. 11) after his girlfriend, Naomi Osaka announced she was expecting her first child. Fans of the rapper and tennis superstar are naturally celebrating the news and getting off jokes at Cordae’s expense but it isn’t mean-spirited in the least for the most part.

Cordae, 25, and Osaka, also 25, have been quite the pair over the past few years with the talented rapper often seen courtside supporting his lady. Since 2019, the couple has been going strong, and the addition of a little one all but signals that this is a union that was meant to last. We should note that while Osaka never mentions the DMV rapper, it can be assumed that he is indeed the father.

In Osaka’s announcement, she shared a photo of an ultrasound showing off the couple’s upcoming bundle of joy along with the promise that she’ll make a return to the court and says her child will be there cheering mom on. For Osaka fans, the news comes with the caveat that she’s intending to take off the entire year of 2023 but will make a return to the court in 2024.

“I realize that life is so short and I don’t take any moments for granted, everyday is a new blessing and adventure,” Osaka tweeted yesterday. “I know that I have much to look forward to in the future, one thing I’m looking forward to is for my kid to watch one of my matches and tell someone, ‘that’s my mom,’ haha. 2023 will be a year that’ll be full of lessons for me and I hope I’ll see you guys in the start of the next one cause I’ll be at Aus 2024 (Australian Open).”

Cordae hasn’t been terribly active on social media, last tweeting on Jan. 5 writing “I feel like I’m the underdog” and “just until 2 ??” in a pair of tweets.

As it stands, congrats are in order for the happy couple and the reactions below are saluting Cordae for what people are saying is the A$AP Rocky package of wifing up and having a baby with a bonafide star. In all seriousness, we’re very happy for the couple.

Jerrod Carmichael Praised For Golden Globes Monologue, Twitter Noticed Crowd Discomfort

Jerrod Carmichael made history by becoming the first Black person to host the Golden Globe Awards and opened with a blistering monologue that some believe made many of the attendees uncomfortable. During his opening monologue, the comedian checked the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and its checkered past regarding diversity in a brilliant fashion that has Twitter chiming in with comments.

Jerrod Carmichael wasted no time in taking aim at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organization that puts on the Golden Globe Awards. Prior to 2021, the HFPA was criticized openly for not having any Black members on its board and not since 2002 according to reports. Carmichael, using his signature conversations standup style of delivery, addressed the massive elephant in the room by noting that he was only invited to host the show because he’s Black.

“I’ll tell you why I’m here. I’m here ’cause I’m Black. I”ll tell you what’s been going on,” Carmichael began. “This show, the Golden Globe Awards, did not air last year because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association….which I won’t say were a racist organization, but they didn’t have a single Black member until George Floyd died. So do with that information what you will. I”ll tell you how I got here.”

From there, Carmichael kept delivering shots that were veiled but obviously directed at the HFPA and some of its members. He also mentioned how he got the job after receiving a call from veteran producer Stephen Hill, who is also Black and was part of the running bit. As the camera panned into the crowd, many attendees, including Brad Pitt and Anthony Mackie among others, seemingly couldn’t believe what they were hearing on the grand stage.

Some on Twitter did find that Carmichael went over the line, especially with a joke about the late Whitney Houston that didn’t go over well. That said, some on social media believe Carmicheal’s hosting gig is a one-and-done and if that’s true, what a way to go out.

On Twitter, Jerrod Carmichael and his painfully honest monologue are garnering plenty of praise. Check out those reactions below.

#SaraJaySoldiers: Sara Jay Is Trending, “Real Beater” Twitter Salutes The Adult Film Star

2015 Xbiz Awards

Sara Jay is hailed as a legend in the world of adult films and would easily be considered just that by many fans of the genre. On Twitter, the AVN Hall of Fame alum is trending and the #RealBeater segment of the social media network has plenty to say.

Sara Jay, according to what biographical information exists online, got started in porn in 2001. According to the amazingly fit Jay, reportedly in her mid-forties, she’s recorded over 300 scenes in her still-ongoing career. These days, she’s the chief operator of Wyde Syde Productions and is currently recruiting the next crop of stars in the game along with still maintaining an active presence on her personal website and OnlyFans among other ventures.

Twitter fans have been widely sharing a video of Jay alongside fellow pornstar Lil D, remarking on Jay’s talent for entrancing Black fans of her work. For those unaware, and we certainly urge caution if you search her name, Jay has quite a large backside and her enthusiasm onscreen has garnered her a number of awards in the industry. Further, she’s been connected to some figures in Hip-Hop but of course, all of that is speculative information.

One Twitter user claims Jay’s name began trending after another person on Twitter compared her to the fictional character Hank Hill, which prompted some to fire back at the person by calling her facially challenged as well. To be honest with you, joking about the looks of folks isn’t really that cool, especially if you’re not a looker yourself.

As it stands, Sara Jay is still enjoying a lot of attention not only from the veterans from the #RealBeater clan (figure it out) but also from folks who are new to her work.

Keith Murray Appears At The Vibe Magazine Fashion Show

Keith Murray went on a recent press run and for whatever reason, the veteran rapper keeps kissing and telling while offering up other unnecessary information. After talking up the likes of Foxy Brown and Shawnna, many on Twitter are wondering what’s going on with the Def Squad member.

Keith Murray, 48, made an appearance on The Art Of Dialogue and shared an explicit story of hooking up with Foxy Brown who he assumed was with Kurupt after a show at the House of Blues in Los Angeles, Calif.

“We rocked hardcore, went into the hotel and she gave me hardcore head,” Murray said during the chat, adding, “I ate her p*ssy but I never f*cked her and then she was with Kurupt at the time, so we was coming out of the hotel after she gave me head and we was coming and Kurupt was coming.”

If that wasn’t enough, the Long Island, N.Y. native mentioned in another chat with The Art Of Dialogue that he went down on Chicago rapper Shawnna but that affair was effectively one-sided.

Both Foxy Brown and Shawnna responded to Murray’s recent comments, with Brown posting to her Instagram Story feed, “N*GGAZ AINT POP SINCE I SHOT YA” and Shawnna writing to her Story feed, “If y’all here bc of Keith you can gone back home. I know you leaf heads stick together. Goofy bitches I coulda agreed you dumb mf.”

On Twitter, Keith Murray has his name trending with folks making a serious charge that he’s allegedly using some powerful drugs. That’s none of our business and we’re only reporting what’s out there.

US-CRIME-SHOOTING

French Montana just released the latest installment in his ongoing Coke Boys mixtape series, but other pressing matters are at hand after an incident on Thursday (Jan. 5). During a video shoot for the Morrocan-American rapper, gunfire erupted and left several people injured, including rising rapper Rob49.

Local outlet NBC 6 reports that the shooting took place in front of The Licking, a Florida soul food chain, at its Miami Gardens location last night. According to accounts from police, a total of 10 individuals were reportedly shot following an altercation that took place in another location before ending up in front of The Licking. Among that number was Rob49, who is featured on Coke Boys 6, the latest mixtape from French Montana and hosted by DJ Drama.

The outlet spoke to a local rapper, Ced Mogul, who said that someone was allegedly robbed behind a nearby KFC where part of the video shoot was taking place before moving over to The Licking.

French Montana was not among the injured but whispers on social media say that one of his bodyguards was severely injured. Four of the individuals took themselves to local hospitals for treatment while six others were transported by emergency medical workers.

Rob49 hails from New Orleans and has released a handful of full-length projects over the past two years along with a busy 2022 featuring a number of singles and collaborations. The conditions of the injured are not yet known nor have Montana or his team made an official statement to the public.

On Twitter, video of the shooting began circulating showing the injured suffering from their wounds on the pavement. We will not be sharing those images on this post.

Shannon Sharpe Returns To ‘Undisputed’ With Class, Skip Bayless Showed His Ass

2016 IAVA Heroes Gala

Shannon Sharpe was notably absent on Tuesday’s (Jan. 3) broadcast of Skip and Shannon: Undisputed, with many speculating it was due to what was perceived as an insensitive tweet made by his co-host, Skip Bayless. The former NFL great returned to the set of the show and faced off with Bayless where things got tense as Sharpe attempted to explain his absence.

In a clip circulating on social media that has since gone viral, Shannon Sharpe, 54, attempts to no avail to explain why he wasn’t available for Undisputed yesterday and made mention of the chilling incident on Monday Night Football that saw Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin collapse on the field. Visibly shaken even during his explanation, Sharpe was unable to get through his statement without Bayless cutting him off.

At issue was a tweet Bayless made where he wrote, “[N]o doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game – but how? This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome … which suddenly seems so irrelevant.”

Bayless apologized for the tweet but, as Sharpe noted in his opening, it remains on Bayless’ Twitter feed and he defiantly told Sharpe that he wasn’t removing it. This ignited a brief back and forth between the two hosts and nothing was actually resolved. Many took note of Sharpe’s resolve and attempts to bring balance to the show while Bayless reduced those good efforts into dust in our opinion.

On Twitter, many are siding with Shannon Sharpe and reacting to the viral video courtesy of Awful Announcing, which we’ll also share below along with the comments.

Gangsta Boo, a member of the legendary Three 6 Mafia group, has died. According to reports from local outlets, the rapper was found unresponsive at her home on New Year’s Day (Jan. 1).

Local outlet Action 5 News reported that Gangsta Boo, real name Lola Mitchell, was found dead inside her home while visiting Memphis, presumably for the holidays. Action 5 News spoke with an associate of Three 6 Mafia, Mr. Del, who shared that Mitchell moved to Los Angeles and was working on an album reportedly titled The Boo-Print. Earlier this year, Hip-Hop wired spoke exclusively with Gangsta Boo in connection to her appearance on the series Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition.

Mitchell recorded six albums with Three 6 Mafia, beginning with the group’s debut Mystic Stylez in 1995. She embarked on a solo career in 1998 with the debut album Enquiring Minds, and also a series of mixtapes, including two hosted by DJ Drama and Trap-A-Holics respectively. More recently, Mitchell delivered a pair of scene-stealing cameos with Run The Jewels on the tracks “Love Again (Akinyele Back) ” and “Walking in the Snow.”

DJ Paul joined many others in offering tribute to the late rapper as the news continued to go wide across social media and news feeds. Hip-Hop fans rightly noted how influential Mitchell was to other southern women rappers and helped pave the way for their success.

We’ve gathered some reactions from Twitter and have them listed out below.

Rep.-elect George Santos Admits To Lying On His Résumé

US-ISRAEL-POLITICS-REPUBLICANS

George Santos, a Long Island, N.Y. Republican who was recently elected to a U.S. House of Representatives seat, essentially admitted to lying on his résumé among other alleged falsehoods. Santos framed the omission of truth regarding his biography as “embellishment” and is intent on taking his seat in Congress at the top of 2023.

George Santos, 34, first found himself under scrutiny after the New York Times published a piece questioning the validity of the fanciful story of Santos’ early life and his becoming the first openly gay Republican elected as a non-incumbent to a House seat. The article called into question Santos’ claims of advancing himself from college en route to a successful Wall Street career. Santos also claimed he operated a pet rescue charity along with a sizeable real estate portfolio, and also claimed to be of Jewish heritage.

As seen in a newer article from the Times, several of Santos’ claims were debunked. The outlet adds that Santos attempted to explain himself via a series of interviews on Monday (Dec. 26), most notably telling The New York Post that, “my sins here are embellishing my résumé.”

Democratic Party House members are calling for the expulsion of Santos before he officially takes office. Rep. Ted Lieu, the soon-to-be vice chair of the House Democratic caucus, tweeted, “GOP Congressman-elect George Santos, who has now admitted his whopping lies, should resign. If he does not, then @GOPLeader should call for a vote to expel @Santos4Congress.”

On Twitter, the reactions to George Santos and the alleged misrepresentation of his experience is coming under fire. We’ve got those reactions listed out below.
