LOTS OF TEA
There is just too much tea - I have to get right to it. Yadda yadda yadda I missed you. I rode a bunch of horses in the desert. And I can’t believe all that happened while I was gone.
“We used to be a proper country” meme which started with Twitter being nostalgic about 7-11 here:

On Thursday,
Drake performed with Kanye West at the Larry Hoover Benefit Concert in Los Angeles. Rumors are suggesting this is the end to the feud between Drake and Kanye but also that it was one of the greatest live performances between the two in quite some time. The concert was to benefit Larry Hoover who is a former Chicago gang member serving multiple life sentences in Colorado after being convicted of murder in 1973. Learn more about Larry Hoover here.

But then...
Bigger news dropped, rattling the Kardashian dynasty once again - there is a third woman that Tristan Thompson has allegedly impregnated, Maralee Nichols, and she’s taken to IG stories to call out the family and claim that Tristan told her it hadn’t been working with Khloe for quite some time. But the bigger bombshell was that she claimed DRAKE SLEPT WITH KYLIE and Tristan isn’t big enough to tell Travis. This is me.

And to make the drama that much more complex,
Drake withdrew his name from the Grammy nominations for the 2022 awards ceremony this week. People say it’s in response to Astroworld but maybe he just wants to bow out of this INSANE drama?
-
And THEN…
Travis Scott sat down with Charlamagne tha God to talk about Astroworld claiming he had no idea what had happened until after the show. Except for the fact that at one point an AMBULANCE was trying to make its way through the crowd and he did nothing to stop the show.

We all know that I love
to share news about platforms like OnlyFans. So in that spirit, it’s important to hear from some of the voices that make up the sex industry that cross over in “mainstream culture.” Therefore, you should know who TS Madison is. (In my defense, when was the last time I mentioned OnlyFans or porn here??)

CHILLIN ISLAND
an unscripted show from HBO is coming out and it follows rappers as they check out NATURE with co-director/series executive producer Josh Safdie. Lil Yachty, Young Thug, Coi Leray, Gunna, Lil Tecca, Killer Mike, Ski Mask the Slump God, and Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koening are all in it. IT LOOKS. SO GOOD. AND it’s based on the web series by Ashok Kondabolu, a.k.a. Dapwell of Das Racist, and rappers Lakutis (Aleksey Weintraub) and Despot (Alec Reinstein).
