It looks like Megan Thee Stallion has really taken a liking to Asian culture thanks to her recent trip to Japan as her latest offering “Mamushi” is set in a Far East environment with a touch of the supernatural.
For the Yuki Chiba-assisted visuals to “Mamushi,” Megan finds herself to be a part of a bathhouse bordello of sorts as the only Black woman amongst a team of Japanese hotties. Unfortunately, for the man who chooses to spend time with her, Thee Stallion quickly shape-shifts into a snake and makes quick work of the men in her vicinity. Luring them with her amazing physical, Megan proves Bell Biv Devoe right by reminding us to never trust a big butt and a smile ’cause that girl is poison.
We’re not gonna lie though, we’d still take that chance. Just sayin’.
Check out the Yuki Chiba-assisted visuals to “Mamushi” below, and let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

Lawrence O’Donnell opened the Thursday night broadcast of his MSNBC show, The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell with a fiery takedown of his network and other outlets. O’Donnell blasted the media for their handling of Donald Trump and failing to fact-check the presidential candidate’s statements with immediacy
O’Donnell aimed his opening monologue on Donald Trump’s recent news conference from his Mar-A-Lago residence which aired in full on several networks and dominated the news cycle in ways that the Trump campaign has scrambled to do in the passing weeks since Vice President Kamala Harris has hit the campaign trail.
In what many described as a rambling and disjointed affair, Trump riffed and aimed attacks at Vice President Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, while rattling off several debunked claims and bizarre statements. At one point, the former president stated that a speech delivered in front of the White House on January 6, 2021, was larger than Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech in 1963, which was categorically false.
About the news conference, O’Donnell said, “It would be hard to find a sentence in what Donald Trump said today that did not include at least one lie. Some of the networks tried to play catchup with fact-checking after Donald Trump finished speaking, but that, of course, is way too late and utterly useless. No network even attempted to fact-check every lie Donald Trump told.”
It didn’t end there as O’Donnell added,” “Many of the falsehoods Donald Trump spread today in his responses came from that vast well of stupidity that takes up most of his brain. The stupidest person who has ever won a nomination for president stood there in front of those reporters and said his opponent isn’t smart enough to do what he was failing at right in front of those reporters.”
O’Donnell shared on his personal X account that he went off the intended script, speaking from the heart about the matter as he’s done repeatedly in his time in his post. You can see his reply on X and the video below.

Laila! is a young artist on the rise and has already gone viral with her vibey “Not My Problem” track and it appears that as the saying goes, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. During a recent interview, Laila! confirmed that Yasiin Bey, the former Mos Def, is her father but she isn’t hamstrung to compete in the spaces he’s occupied.
If you’ve been under a rock, Laila!’s “Not My Problem” is all over social media and a recent On The Radar freestyle session gave the song a wider bit of reach. Sitting with Complex, the “Like That!” artist shared with the outlet that the Black Star member is her father but her actual sound is more indicative of her generation.
“Yes, he is my dad, y’all. The rumors are true, no, I’m kidding. But yes, he’s my dad. He’s my dad,” she explained with a laugh.
Laila! added, “I don’t know, I guess, like, I kind of just always been my own, like, artist in a way. And like, that’s the cool thing, because I feel like as a kid, like whenever we would just jam sesh and like vibe out, me and him, I don’t know, I always had my own style, I always had my own thing going on. And he’s always just been like, ‘Okay kid, I see you.’”
From what we gathered from her social media pages, Laila! is an all-around talent with rapping, singing, and producing all appearing in her tool belt. The rising Brooklyn star’s latest release is the “Not My Problem” and “Flyer Than U” two-pack that dropped in June.
Check out the Complex chat below, along with her latest EP.

Macy Gray continues to be an open book with little of what people think. She recently admitted that she uses cocaine and alcohol to relax.
As spotted on TMZ the Canton, Ohio native is a cast member on Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets. During the premiere of the reality television show the crew were invited to participate in an exercise that would help them relax. While their guide was explaining the benefits of “consciously over-breathing” the “I Try” singer made it clear that is not how she cures herself. “Oh God! I just don’t do the hippy sh*t” she explained to the show’s producer. “I live in LA, that’s hippy kingdom, but for healing that’s not how I do it.”
When asked to explain her method of healing she nonchalantly admitted she does a line and pairs it with a drink. “Like cocaine and a couple of shots. Get those edibles down my throat and I’m good, girl! You order me a pizza and I’m straight. I don’t need all that sh*t, I’m good” she replied. As expected the clip quickly picked up traction online and became a guilty pleasure to react to. “Macy Gray on this Surreal Life is giving me life. She’s so unintentionally funny, omg I’ve fallen in love with her” one user wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
For this season of The Surreal Life Macy Gray is joined by Chet Hanks, O.T. Genasis, and Kim Zolciak. You can see Macy’s candid response below.

A few weeks ago a random white girl named Hailey Welch had social media on fire when she described how to pleasure a man when she “spit on that thang” with a “hauk tuah!” And with all the memes that one moment spawned, Plies has decided to take some of that momentum and create a whole song around that sexual sentiment.
In his new visuals for “Hawk Tuah,” Plies shows just how he likes his women to give him that “hawk tuah!” by getting his “mic checked” in a public bathroom before getting some more of the same treatment in the comfort of his own home. The man didn’t waste any time banking off that hawk tuah hype.
Elsewhere Fat Trel and Millyz make a D.C. to Boston connection happen and in their clip for “Airplane Mode,” the two artists take to the rooftops of the buildings of Bean Town before hopping on a boat with some thick and exotic young women.

There have been many attempts to slander 50 Cent’s name but it hasn’t stuck. A former NYC detective has confirmed he never worked with the police.
Investigative YouTube channel ITS AGTV recently interviewed with former New York City detective Bill Courtney. The retired law officer admitted to working on several high-profile cases during his tenured career.
During the chat, he detailed his dealings with Jacques “Haitian Jack” Agnant, Jimmy “Henchman” Rosemond, Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff, and other notorious figures from the Big Apple. During one particular segment, Courtney made it perfectly clear that to his knowledge 50 Cent never cooperated with the police.
“50 Cent never cooperated with anybody and I would know if he did. I had the whole music industry investigation business locked down. I knew everybody who was talking to everybody, there is no way he cooperated” he said. Courtney went on to reveal that he and his team did try to get 50 Cent to help them but he turned them down. “We took a shot at him and he didn’t cooperate through his attorney Bob Kalina.”
At the apex of the 50 Cent and Ja Rule beef Murder Inc. produced an order of protection that they allege the “I Get Money” rapper requested after a scuffle in a Manhattan recording studio. Courtney also refutes that claim too.
“He didn’t have any cops protecting him. If he was in with the police I would know about it” he added.
The interview quickly went viral and 50 Cent left a comment about Bill Courtney’s response.
“See the facts always come out, I wasn’t raised like that. I’m not in Preme, killer rat ass jimmy or World’s paper work.” he wrote on Instagram.

Political commentator Van Jones has been offering heavy praise of the Republican National Convention, earning him heavy pushback from social media users.
The Republican National Convention came to a close in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. on Thursday night (July 18). While some political commentators pointed out the various missteps made by GOP politicians, Van Jones has been steadily praising the energy at the convention.
“I wanna say something. This spirit that this guy has, you guys think that’s because he’s drunk. He’s not,” he said during a discussion on Wednesday (July 17), pointing at the convention crowd. “This whole thing is like this. The last time I was in a convention that felt like this was Obama 2008. There’s something happening.”The declaration led one of the other panelists to remark, “You just wrote a headline, by the way.”
That was prefaced by other gushing remarks made by Jones about some of the speeches given during the convention, beginning with his view of Amber Rose after her speech on Monday night (July 16).
“That was probably the most dangerous speech for the Democratic coalition,” Jones said. “That is a young woman of color. She is describing the experience that a lot of people have — feeling that maybe, if you’re around too many liberals, you might get criticized too much or you might not be able to speak your mind, and she spoke to it really well. And she’s way more famous than any of us up here — I’m going to tell you that — way more famous.”
Van Jones would also gush over Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ speech, saying her remarks were “incredibly compelling…extremely powerful.”
The praise would come to a halt after Donald Trump’s speech on Thursday.
“If Biden had given a speech that incoherent, that rambling, that undisciplined, Democrats would’ve hit Biden with a tranquilizer dart and drug him off,” he said. “Trump was boring … undisciplined … he basically was the worst part of his own convention.”
The pattern of praise from Jones left a sour taste in the mouths of many on social media. D.L. Hughley was among those criticizing how much the CNN commentator seemed to be all for the Republicans and pointedly criticized him for thinking the convention had any resemblance to the effect of Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign.
Below are some of the best responses to Van Jones’ remarks on social media.

Cardi B and Joe Budden have what appears to be a contentious connection after the famed podcast host mentioned the rapper and entertainer on a recent episode of his eponymously named podcast. After saying that Cardi B will only release singles from this point on, the Bronx star fired shots at Joe Budden in an X Spaces rant.
On episode 742 of The Joe Budden Podcast, a discussion surrounding Rob49’s new “On Dat Money” single and video featuring Cardi B cropped up with the cast pondering if a sophomore album was coming from the “Bodak Yellow” rapper. Budden quipped that Cardi won’t release an album, a refrain he has uttered in previous episodes, stating that she’s now becoming a “singles” artist.
The comments made their way to Cardi, who hopped on Spaces Thursday night (July 18) and unleashed a fiery tirade of words towards the retired lyricist and popular media personality.
“Bro I gave you a lap dance two times in Starlets,” Cardi says in leaked audio of the Spaces event. “You was high as f*ck. High as f*ck on coke, n*gga. I don’t give a f*ck when people talk sh*t about me. It’s the fact you always talk sh*t about me, Joe Budden. Out of nowhere, you would think I did something to this n*gga. For the past two years, this n*gga has only talked bad things about me.”
Starlets is a popular strip club in Queens that Budden and his castmates are known to frequent.
While it is true that Budden has been a tough critic of Cardi, he’s also heaped heavy praise and even hailed her debut album Invasion Of Privacy one of his favorite projects of the modern era along with other positive commentary.
On X, Budden fired off a string of replies stating that he’ll no longer mention Cardi on his program.
“I promise you and can assure you, i will not cover a single thing this girl does for the remainder of her career… Peace & love,” began the thread. “I have also never gotten a lap dance from this lady. I also have never done coke.”
Cardi also took to X and shared a message with her fans regarding her passionate response to Budden.
I wanna say this to Bardi gang or anybody who’s just a fan of my music or even my craziness… I have my good days and my bad days but you know what, whether it’s good or bad I couldn’t be happier with the obvious anticipation for my album..Sometimes I get a little aggressive because yall know I don’t like to be told what to do but I promise you it’s coming THIS YEAR. Thank you for the love and anticipation and always holding me down
On X, the reactions to Cardi B firing shots at Joe Budden are coming in fast. We’ve got reactions below.

Kendrick Lamar‘s smash hit diss record “Not Like Us” continues to be one of the hottest records in the streets, but it seems like some people are tired of hearing it and no, it’s not Drake.
According to TMZ, NBA superstar Steph Curry has just about had it with the classic Hip-Hop diss record and let as much be known while practicing with his USA teammates in Paris earlier this week. While getting ready to play a pre-Olympics game with Serbia in Abu Dhabi, the song blasted through the speakers, which led Steph to say, “Damn with this song! It’s not the only song in America!” which prompted LeBron James to say, “I love it.”
LeBron just lost Drake as a fan.
Regardless of how Steph might’ve felt, he went to put on a show in the game as he dropped a team-high 24 points as Team USA routed Nikola Jokic‘s team by 26, with the final score being 105-79.
Team USA might not lose a single game during this summer’s Olympics in Paris.
That being said, Steph should expect “Not Like Us” to get played to death as the DJ is sure to be sending the world a message that not a single professional basketball team out there is anything like the one that America has.
And best believe when he and Team USA return home later this summer that song will still be going hard out on these streets as no one seems to be able to get enough of it. He might want to stay home for a while if he wants to avoid hearing it anymore. At least till mid-2025.
What do y’all think of Steph’s reaction to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us”? Has the song gotten too much burn already? Let us know in the comments section below.
