Doechii’s preferences regarding dating are no secret, but that didn’t stop straight men from blowing a gasket on social media over the weekend.
During an episode of Hot Ones Versus featuring DJ Miss Milan, the “What It Is” crafter revealed that her biggest red flag was heterosexual men when asked what some of her dealbreakers were.
“Is it being on the DL?” Milan first asked. The rapper also touched on this situation in her latest album, Denial Is A River. Doecii responded “You’re on the right track,” urging her DJ to take another guess, leading to her saying “Bad music taste?” which the rapper admitted “That is a good one, but that’s not what I put.”
She finally flipped over her board, revealing her answer as “A straight man.”
“You know what’s so crazy? I was going to say men,” Milan said as the two laughed.
https://x.com/Glock_Topickz/status/1898100042839314548
For many, Doechii’s joke isn’t shocking because she has been quite open about her bisexuality. On the song “Yucky Blucky Fruitcake,” the Swamp Princess rapped, “I think I like girls, but I think I like men/ Doechii is a d**k, I never fit in.”
Still that didn’t stop straight men from losing their collective sh*t over the rapper’s personal preference.
“And this is where my Doechii train stops at. Good luck out there,” one person wrote in response to a Glock Topickz post sharing the now viral clip.
Another hater used the moment to talk about Doechii’s looks, “That her preference & that’s cool. But can I finally say this bitch is ugly as HELL without getting backlash for it???”
Though they are wrong, because Doechii is far from ugly, allow us to present some evidence.
But with all the bellyaching from sensitive straight men and “pick me’s” there are plenty of people defending Doechii as well.
“They could NEVER make me hate you Doechii. How is straight women not wanting to date queer men okay for y’all but queer women not wanting to date straight men isn’t? Let’s unpack that rq. Yall mad about nothing,” one user on X, formerly Twitter wrote.
Another Doechii defender added, “If you’ve ever been with an openly bi sexual / pan sexual man you know EXACTLY why a straight man is a red flag for a QUEER woman. From the spaces she hangs to the community she builds.”
Basically, folks are losing their minds over absolutely nothing.

The hotties were not feeling an interview featuring their favorite hot girl, Megan Thee Stallion, conducted on the Vanity Fair Oscars after party red carpet.
Megan Thee Stallion had tongues on the floor thanks to her Vanity Fair Oscars after-party look, while comedian Hannah Berner and her Giggly Squad podcast co-host, Paige DeSorbo, who the magazine hired to conduct interviews on the red carpet, and many people feel they did a horrible job, specifically, Berner.
Fans on TikTok have been taking Hanner Berner to task for what they deemed an interview with racist microaggressions. The interview began harmlessly with the two women fawning over the Houston rapper. DeSorbo admitted that she started her day listening to a little bit of Megan Thee Stallion’s music.
Berner made things awkward when she said, “Your music has literally made me … when I want to fight someone, I listen to your music.”
The “Savage” rapper reeled Berner telling her “You want to throw that fighting shit out the window. You want to get cute and be a bad bitch,” quickly shutting down the notion that her music perpuates violence.
“When people are talking shit, I go, ‘Turn on Megan Thee Stallion!’” Berner continued.
Quickly trying to pivot during the interview, Megan Thee Stallion replied, “Body-ody-ody, I look beautiful, I look so great.”
Megan Thee Stallion has been trying to move forward with her life and career after rapper Tory Lanez was found guilty of shooting her in 2020.
The Vanity Fair Oscars Party red carpet is the last place she thought she would be revisiting those moments, but thanks to Berner, she did.
“I know, because I watched your documentary,” Berner told Thee Stallion “you’ve been through so many dark things. How do you get yourself up and inspire people?”
“I just look in the mirror, and I be like, ‘Damn, you that girl. Right? Yeah, you are that girl! So, go outside and act like you that girl!’ And that’s how I tackle my day,” the rapper replied.
Megan Thee Stallion responded gracefully but fans were mad for her, and slammed the interview on TikTok.
“This felt so racist. And they didn’t let her finish most her sentences,” one TikTok user said in the comments.
Another TikTok user added, “Very micro aggressive. Megs music isn’t about fighting and the fangirling is a spectacle. Please hire real interviewers that know how to talk to black women as PEOPLE and not characters.”
In response to the backlash, Berner did apologize, saying that she should used another term instead of “fight” calling it “a poor choice of words.”
Megan Thee Stallion has yet to respond to the incident, but it seems folks could care less about the apology and feel Vanity Fair needs to do better when picking people to work red carpets.

Hip-Hop continues to have a significant Trump problem. French Montana is catching flack for jumping on Lara Trump’s new song and has some headscratching “bars” on it.
French Montana doesn’t care where and how he gets his money. The rapper decided not to read the room and hopped on Lara Trump, the wife of Felon 47 aka Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump’s new song “No Days Off.”
Trump, who is basically a DEI hire in any job she gets, was the former head of the Republican National Committee, where she helped mold it in her father-in-law’s image, is now a Fox News host while also moonlighting as a pop singer.
On the god awful song, Lara Trump sings about her so-called image and career, bellowing on the songs first line, “”I’m a little hard to read/ You only know what they show you when you turn on the TV/ So think of this as a reboot,” before adding “work, work, work” and “can’t stop, won’t stop.”
The Coke Boys crafter didn’t help elevate the track either, stupidly rapping, “working like a slave, living like a king,” adding, “Me and Lara at your front porch, knock knock.”
French Montana and Lara Trump showing up on your front door is definitely something nobody wants, just like this song, that we will not be sharing.
The Song Is Getting Trashed
As expected, social media has been clowning both artists, specifically French Montana, for even doing the song.
https://x.com/BeanzGotGamez/status/1893066540527816903
“The new Lara Trump & French Montana song is a disgusting display of how someone with only a tiny amount of actual talent can slug their way up to the top of a corrupt industry. To a lesser extent you can say the same about Lara Trump, too,” one user wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Rolling Stone wrote about the song, “French Montana Can’t Save Lara Trump’s Atrocious New Single,”.
Damn.

Speaking about her look on the Vanity Fair Oscar Party red carpet she said, “I just really wanted to give like ‘she’s baring it all at Vanity Fair.”
“She’s definitely giving Poison Ivy,” she continued.
While the hotties were here for the look, Megan Thee Stallion’s dress definitely garnered plenty of negative reactions.
“Gorgeous woman but this pasty looks like she went right on Amazon and bought it the night before. Same with when Nicki did it years ago. Lil Kim did it best: hers felt like a part of the outfit and not an accessory,” one user on X, formerly Twitter said.
Another user on X wrote, “this could’ve been executed way better, a chop sista.”
Damn.

In today’s episode of Just Checking To See If Elon Musk Is Still Racist…Yep, He’s Still Racist, the South African migrant who spent President Donald Trump’s first day in office turning the Nazi salute into a MAGA trend has, for the second year in a row, decried diversity at the Oscars.
On Sunday, Musk reposted a tweet from a fellow white-and-eternally-whiny fanboy who was being fragile over the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ diversity policy regarding Best Picture nominees.
“This is messed up,” Musk captioned his post. “Should just be who is best, not best with an asterisk!”
Oh nah, Musky, that asterisk has always been there.
You see, Musk, like millions of white people across the Western world, believes the reason white actors and filmmakers have always dominated the Oscars is due to merit, ignoring the fact that white people have always dominated the academy because no racial demographic has ever been more catered to than white people.
It’s the same false logic they use when claiming DEI is racist against white people while ignoring the fact that diversity initiatives were only ever necessary in the first place because, for the overwhelming majority of America’s history, white men were hiring white men and only white men in every single major industry. That’s not “merit,” it’s the lasting effect of patriarchy and white supremacy.
Similarly, Musky Musk and his Nazi Bunch are pretending to believe an academy full of white people who view art through a culturally white lens are likely to always find the right nominees for Best Picture — as opposed to the nominees white people are most likely to believe are the best nominees for Best Picture. White people who relate more closely to white people consistently selecting predominately white films for Best Picture is not an example of “merit.”
Art is subjective. White privilege is a demonstrable fact.
Mind you, just under a year ago, Musk was on X calling the Oscars a “woke contest” because he thought too many non-white people were winning. When it was pointed out to him that white actors and directors dominated all the major awards, which they have almost every single year since the inception of the Academy, he immediately backpedaled and admitted that he was “wrong.”
That’s right, folks, Musk was educated on the fact that the Best Picture, Best Actor/Actress and Best Director categories, among others, were overwhelmingly dominated by white people in 2024, and the Woke Boogieman that haunts his nightmares retreated back under his bed and allowed him to rest at ease. All was right in his white world once again.
So, you know, maybe Musk and his fellow fragile, diversity-hating white men are just plain bigots, and the “woke” Oscars is just another excuse for them to let their bigotry shine.
Sad.

No matter what you think about controversial comedy legend Dave Chappelle, you have to admit he knows how to come through with words of encouragement right on time.
On Saturday night (Feb. 22) , Chappelle was honored at the 56th NAACP Image Awards with the President’s Award, and, in true Dave fashion, he delivered a speech aimed at positivity and people caring for each other while also getting in a few topical jokes.
“You know, look, I won a lot of awards recently, but this one tonight is probably the most special award I’ve ever gotten because it’s from this institution that represents these people, us, people of color, Black people,” the 51-year-old told the audience at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.
“My god brother is here tonight, Ben Jealous,” he continued. “Ben used to be the president of the NAACP, and I asked him, I said, ‘What do you think? What do you think I should say tonight?’ And Ben sent me a whole speech. But what was important, he said, in 1915, the movie Birth of a Nation came out, and had a hideous depiction of African Americans. And by 1927, the NAACP had opened its first office in Hollywood. And from then, 100 years ago to this very night, they have been chipping away at this industry so that people like me can stand up in front of people and tell my story or our stories each and every artist in here, every opportunity we get, every time we’re on camera on stage, we just keep chipping away at this monster of a machine.”
Chappelle wasn’t about to leave the stage without getting in a few quips, of course, so he joked about all the controversy his Netflix stand-up specials, which have been panned as anti-LGBTQ+, has stirred up.
“But tonight, man, tonight, I feel invigorated because all my Netflix checks clear,” he said to the laughter of the crowd.
Then Chappelle got serious while encouraging people to see each other through the “difficult” time we are currently experiencing under the current administration. (He doesn’t actually mention Trump, but we know what he was talking about during his speech, which came not long after former Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her own fiery speech while accepting the Chairman’s Award.)
“Every time you see me, just know I’m only up there because I want to be right up there,” Chappelle said. “And I hope, I hope all of us who work in this industry feel strong and inspired and not discouraged, especially because this is a very difficult time right now. And your institution is, sadly, more relevant than it’s been in a long time. We got a lot of work to do, but it feels good to know that we’re not in it alone, that we got each other. And remember, community is everything.”
Shout out to Dave for telling the people what we all need to hear right now. Take care of each other, y’all, and we’ll make it through.

When former NFL wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. woke up on Saturday morning, we are positive he didn’t think he would be one of the top trending topics on X, formerly Twitter.
Things got interesting for the former Carolina Panthers and Baltimore Ravens wide receiver, now an NFL Network analyst, when the husband of a woman on X responded to his post featuring a video of himself playing golf, accusing him of sleeping with his wife. He came bearing receipts in the form of text messages.
Smith has been married since 2000 and has four children.
Man just found out that former NFL receiver and current NFL Network analyst Steve Smith Sr. has been sleeping with his wife. He posted the texts and a phone call with Smith on X after finding out.

The accuser shared a screengrab of the alleged sexts between Smith and his wife while tagging multiple news outlets, Smith’s sponsors, Yeti Coolers and TaylorMade, his former team, the Panthers, Ravens, and, for some strange reason, Antonio Brown.
He also shared a video of an alleged phone call between himself and Smith where you can hear the former pro football player saying, “I’m sorry,” and a photo of a bare-chested Smith with a unicorn graphic over his midsection.
The man claims his wife met Smith while working for the Ravens marching band.
Social Media Had Jokes About The Situation
Following the revelation of social media has been on one, of course, it was nothing but pure jokes, especially regarding the explicit nature of the sexts.
“White man crashing out on Twitter cause his wife’s fucking Steve Smith Sr….and yall think I’ll leave this app? Tuh. NEVER. Can’t pay for this kind of live entertainment,” one user on X wrote.
Another user was too tickled by the accuser’s wife telling Smith he almost shifted her contraceptive device. “Rearrange my IUD…..I am dead,” the user said.
Bruh, moments like these make the dumpster fire that is X bearable.

Welp, it looks like your going to have to get your fill of beer, boobs, and wings elsewhere pretty soon because it might be a wrap for your local Hooters establishment.
According to Bloomberg News, the restaurant franchise best known for dressing its servers in skimpy orange shorts and tiny tops that give patrons beer, wings, and a side of boobs is on the verge of going belly-up.
According to the website, the casual dining chain has engaged in talks with law firm Ropes & Gray to begin the bankruptcy process, sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News.
No final decision has been made regarding seeking Chapter 11 protection, but according to sources, it could all happen within the next two months.
Hooters’ financial problems aren’t new; they have been going on for some time, with the company actively seeking a way to become profitable again.
Per The New York Post:
Hooters — which has about 300 locations nationwide — has faced increasing financial strain as traffic declines at its kitschy restaurants, leading to the closure of several outposts.
The Atlanta-based company has been working alongside turnaround consultants from Accordion Partners to address its financial difficulties, particularly its debt burden.
Several of its creditors have also sought guidance from investment bank Houlihan Lokey, Bloomberg reported.
The Post has sought comment from Hooters, Accordion Partners, Ropes & Gray and Houlihan Lokey.
The company had previously raised approximately $300 million through asset-backed bonds in 2021, a financing structure that allows businesses to use franchise fees and other assets as collateral.
This form of structured debt, known as whole-business securitization, is commonly used by restaurant chains, fitness centers and other franchise-heavy enterprises.
X Reacts To Hooters Possibly Being Shuttered
Social media, of course, has thoughts on the possibility of Hooters going away for good.
“How bad is the economy when strippers are complaining about empty clubs & low/no tips, and Hooters is filing for bankruptcy? This is all the proof you need something needs to change,” one user wrote on X, formerly Twitter, which honestly puts some much needed perspective on the current state of things.
Another user celebrated the chain’s apparent downfall and pointed out racism she experienced as an employee writing on X, “good, when i was 20 y/o i quit hooters because corporate emailed our manager and said it was too many black girls working there.”
Welp.
Hooters is not the only restaurant chain experiencing hard times lately. TGI Fridays had to cede control of some assets due to failing to fulfill debt obligations, and everyone’s favorite seafood restaurant, Red Lobster, also filed for bankruptcy in May. Flavor Flav did his part to prevent Red Lobster from further sinking into the bankruptcy abyss by becoming a pitchman and purchasing the entire menu.
We don’t think Hooters will have the same luck, but who knows, maybe somebody loves seeing boobies and eating wings as much as Flavor Flav loved cheddar bay biscuits.

Lil Meech is finding out the hard way that his boss, 50 Cent, has pettiness levels through the roof.
50 Cent is taking his foot off BMF star Lil Meech and his father Big Meech’s necks. The Southside Jamaica Queens rapper shared on social media that the actor has a drug addiction that required him to send him to rehab.
On his favorite tool for antagonizing those he feels have wronged him, 50 Cent accused Big Meech of being jealous of the relationship he developed with his son while filming the hit Starz series BMF, which the rapper, born Curtis Jackson, serves as an executive producer on.
Lil Meech Was Allegedly “High As F*** On Set” According To 50 Cent
He also claimed in the eye-opening post that “MeMe,” that’s what he was calling Lil Meech, had a drug problem while adding that Big Meech did not like the fact that the “Wanksta” rapper helped his son.
“I thought about it I think he was uncomfortable with me and MeMe’s relationship,” 50 Cent wrote. “I’m telling MeMe I don’t want him doing drugs. He telling him he use to do X like it’s cool. I tell meme chill stop spending all ya money, he telling him how much money he blew. people don’t know I had to send MeMe to rehab.”
He continued, “Russell Hornsby peeped he was high as fuck on set he started throwing up at a weapons test then Ian told me the little [ninja] had whippets in his truck.I said what the fvck is whippets I look it’s the shit that be in Bebe guns.”
The post, which is hilariously still up, features a video clip of Gene Deal talking about Big Meech, born Demetrius Flenory Jr., being a snitch and working with “officers,” referring to Rick Ross.
How Did This All Begin?
50 Cent’s continued attacks on Big Meech and Lil Meech stem from his disgust for Big Meech taking a flick with longtime nemesis Rick Ross ahead of the now-canceled Welcome Home Concert and Lil Meech standing up for his dad.
We hope this doesn’t affect the show in any way. We still need our entertainment, Fif.

Kanye West and his Twitter fingers aren’t done typing. The rapper took to his favorite soapbox at the moment, X, formerly Twitter, to complain about the Grammys not giving him and his wife, Bianca Censori, tickets.
West had all the smoke for the Recording Academy for not blessing him and his naked wife, Bianca Censori, with tickets to music’s biggest night despite him earning a nomination for his song “Carnival” featuring Ty Dolla $ign, but eventually losing to Kendrick Lamar who took home the Grammy for his iconic Drake diss, “Not Like Us.”
“How could the Grammies [sic] nominate me Then not give me tickets And then people mad when I go off,” Ye wrote on X.
“I had to fight for 5 hours and call everyone I knew to get tickets to the Grammies [sic] They eventually gave me tickets but only for the red carpet. At that point I hadn’t started the rampage.”
The Grammys Confirm Not Giving West Tickets
According to a Grammys producer, the rapper (47) and his mannequin (30) were not given tickets to attend the Feb 2 award show held inside the Crytpo.com arena.
“They didn’t have a nomination on the [telecast] and Kanye wasn’t presenting,” Raj Kapoor told People. “He was not performing either, which is mostly what those seats are.”
The “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” crafter didn’t need to make it inside to cause a scene. He used his time on the red carpet to continue parading around his naked wife. Censori dropped her fur coat to reveal she wore a sheer dress with nothing underneath it.
Rumors hit the web that the couple was kicked out of the event due to Censori’s lack of clothing, but that was not the case. A source told Page Six that they left on their own accord.
Kanye West Has Been Dominating The Headlines
West has been dominating the headlines with his antisemitic rants on X, his bizarre Super Bowl ad that led potential shoppers to a Nazi shirt, and rumors of his wife divorcing him.
A rep for the rapper shot down claims of West and Censori splitting.
“Announcements about their private life will come from them directly, not unsourced rumor in the tabloid press,” spokesman Milo Yiannopoulos said.
We honestly wouldn’t mind if West, who claims he is now autistic, would go away and get some damn help.
