Elon Musk’s plan to democratize Twitter verification lasted less than two days. Twitter has temporarily pulled new signups for Twitter Blue after the platform was overrun by verified trolls. The company  told  staffers subscriptions were on hold to “help address impersonation issues,” according to  Platformer’s  Zoe Schiffer. It turns out paid verification was as much of a mess as nearly everyone  predicted. At first, it seemed as if Twitter had a plan to address the impersonation issue. Just ahead of the rollout of the new Twitter Blue, It introduced a separate  “official”  badge that would be appended to “government accounts, commercial companies, business partners, major media outlets, publishers and some public figures.” But Musk quickly changed his mind, and  killed  the idea just a few hours after it was announced. Paid verification launched Wednesday, without the label.Unsurprisingly, it started to go wrong almost immediate...

According to reports, legendary West Coast rap veteran  Snoop Dogg  has a biopic in the works. The feature film is said to be in its pre-production phase, and it is being developed by the same Hollywood studio that presented the public with  Straight Outta Compton  back in 2015.

We are working through all the options. When the time is right we will be more specific The announcement comes after the revelation that Adidas is expected to lose about $250 million in revenues upon severing ties with Kanye West behind his anti-Semitic comments. Although Kanye West will maintain control of the patent for the YEEZY slides, his net worth has fallen from $1.9 billion to $400 million since losing a series of lucrative endorsements with companies such as Adidas.

When Palmer Luckey was 16 years old, he was considered a boy genius. The young inventor began constructing VR Headsets long before they became popular among mainstream consumers. His innovativeness eventually led to the establishment of his very own company, Oculus VR, three years later in 2012. In 2014, the company would be acquired by  Facebook  in a move that soon landed Palmer squarely on  Forbes' Richest Entrepreneurs Under 40 List . The young innovator might be on the brink of making history once again, but his recent breakthrough in the tech/gaming world has the public wondering if he's gone a bit too far.  In a recent blog post, the founder of Oculus recently revealed that he had made progress in creating a new headset that is so realistic it can actually kill a gamer that has them on during a game. According to Palmer, his "NerveGear" will have the potential to release deadly modules into the brain of a gamer, assuming they'd be bold enough to...

The ceremony is sure to feature some of the biggest names in rap music, along with some of the most influential figures in the city of Atlanta.

Texas furniture store owner Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale  put down $10 million earlier this year on a bet for the Houston Astros to win the MLB World Series. Since then, the Astros won the world series against the Philadelphia Phillies, resulting in Mattress Mack netting a $75 million payout.  Initially, Mack’s bet started with $3 million, which he placed on Caesars Sportsbook’s mobile app. Over the summer, the man added $7 million in bets for the Astros to succeed.

Kyrie Irving recently  apologized for his anti-semitic social media posts last week. The NBA star said, “To All Jewish families and Communities that are hurt and affected from my post, I am deeply sorry to have caused you pain, and I apologize. I initially reacted out of emotion to being unjustly labeled Anti-Semitic, instead of focusing on the healing process of my Jewish Brothers and Sisters that were hurt from the hateful remarks made in the Documentary.” Now, news surfaced noting that the Nets had no plans of letting go of Irving, despite rumors of the player possibly participating in his last game with the team.  Reporter Nick Friedell took to Twitter and said, “Sean Marks says Kyrie’s apology last night was a good first step, but the organization wants him to take some more steps — including meeting with Jewish leaders — before playing for the Nets again.” Friedell continued, “Marks said the organization never considered releasing Kyrie.

As the hip-hop world still grapples with Takeoff's senseless murder, some of the elder statesmen of the culture are speaking up to help rappers redirect how they move in an increasingly hostile environment for them, in particular.  Master P issued a statement via Instagram on Tuesday where he sent out his condolences to the family and close friends of Takeoff but made an interesting plea with rappers within his larger message. For Master P, there isn't any shame in working with police if it means that it will ensure the rapper's safety. The No Limit Records founder said that living long requires one to switch up how they move and this generation should begin moving according to the hostility they face in the world as opposed to presenting a street image that only breeds further danger. 

The Brooklyn Nets find themselves in quite the whirlwind as the team continues to drop games in this early part of the 2022-23 season. On Tuesday, news broke that the Nets were letting go of head coach Steve Nash and a search for his replacement would begin immediately.  Nets star forward Kevin Durant told reporters after Tuesday's loss to the Chicago Bulls that he wasn't privy to the move prior to it making headlines. According to Durant, he learned of Nash's firing after waking up from a nap. While it's plausible, it seems less likely that Durant had no idea of Nash's eventual firing considering that called for Nash's job earlier this summer at a time that he demanded to be traded if the coach and GM were to remain. 

Quavo was toe-to-toe with a group of guys outside that Houston bowling alley. Takeoff and others had his back while he argued for more than 30 seconds before the shooting began. TMZ Hip Hop obtained this video of the showdown around 2:30 AM -- you can see and hear Quavo arguing with someone, and Takeoff is a few feet behind him. There's a discussion about playing basketball, and someone, possibly Quavo, says "I don't get down like that!" Seconds later, there's a single crack of gunfire ... and when everyone starts running, a flurry of shots are firing through the crowd. You can hear more than 10 shots in total, and it sounds like they came from at least 2 different weapons." via @TMZ

1/7 When  Bow Wow  was in his prime during his teens, he was the protege of Jermaine Dupree, a multi-platinum-selling artist and the headlining act of the heralded "Scream Tour." Needless to say, as he aged into his twenties, he became a heartthrob who did not have a problem garnering the affection of fellow celebrities such as Ciara and Joie Chavis. He even kissed Tyra Banks on live TV--twice. With the rapper's heyday in the rearview mirror, Bow Wow recently asked an AEW wrestling superstar by the name of Jade Cargill out on a date (via Twitter). Although Cargill (30) is young enough to have experienced the full effect of Bow Wow's prime years as a chart-topping artist, she was unimpressed, as she immediately shut him down before sighting how much money her husband (former MLB player Brandon Phillips) earned during his career as a professional athlete, compared to his rap career. In response, Bow Wow defended himself and his legacy."You can't aff...

youTube A high-flying rookie who once played basketball for "blue-blood" university is taking the NBA by storm with eye-popping offensive numbers. That's the narrative surrounding Paolo Banchero of the Orlando Magic, and it's strikingly similar to the storyline that highlighted the record-setting inaugural season of  Michael Jeffrey Jordan's  illustrious NBA career. Much like "His Airness," Banchero was a lottery pick selection of a downtrodden franchise that has never won a championship. The 6-10 power forward has already displayed traits of becoming a legacy-altering capable of re-writing the history books of a franchise that has played in nine NBA finals games (against the Houston Rockets and Los Angels Lakers) while winning just one. Five games into the 2022 NBA season, the 19-year-old became the 7th player in the history of the league to score over 20 points in all of his team's outings. In fact, his 23.2 scoring average was higher t...

On October 20, 2020,  Kyrie Irving  famously said this regarding the Nets' hiring of Steve Nash as their new head coach " I think it’s also going to change the way we see coaches. I don’t really see us having a head coach. You know what I mean? KD could be a head coach. I could be a head coach.” Today is eerily close to being the two-year anniversary of the infamous comment that Kyrie Irving made about the relevancy of Steve Nash's head coaching role within the Brooklyn Nets organization while outlining the importance of himself and his teammate, Kevin Durant. Steve Nash was fired by the Brooklyn Nets' general manager, Sean Marks, today after boasting a 92-60 regular season record for the team from 2020 to 2022. The transaction comes amid an embarrassing 0-4 sweep at the hands of the Boston Celtics last year in the NBA playoffs and a less than stellar 2-5 start during the 2022-2023 NBA regular season.  Ime Udoka , was Steve Nash's top assistant coach du...

During the Brooklyn Nets’ media day,  Steve Nash addressed reports claiming that Kevin Durant gave Nets owner Joe Tsai an ultimatum , saying either Steve Nash and GM Sean Marks get let go, or he leaves. Now, the Brooklyn Nets have reportedly fired Nash.  The Nets have experienced a rocky start to their season, as the team is now 2-5. Kyrie Irving previously made comments about Steve Nash during their 2020 season, saying the Nets didn’t have a real head coach. Nash was let go at the start of his third season with the team, whose record found them going 48-24 in 2021, 44-38 during the 2022 season, and 2-5 at the beginning of this season Since his firing, Steve Nash said, “It was an amazing experience with many challenges that I'm incredibly grateful for. It was a pleasure to work with the players, performance team, and front office every day," he added. "I'm especially grateful to my coaching staff and video room who are a talented group with so much charact...
