Since becoming an official couple Saweetie and Quavo became a couple sometime in 2018, they’ve been many music fans’ prime example of “couple goals.” However, while their cutesy flirtation has set a trend or two, Saweetie’s high standards for their relationship became a hot topic of debate on Twitter when video from an Instagram Live in which she seemingly advises women to expect expensive accessories from their men went viral. In a new interview with Essence‘s Girls United, Saweetie addresses the resulting backlash and clarifies what she really meant.
In the original video, Saweetie counseled, “If he not getting you a Birkin, if he not paying for your bills, then throw that n**** back to the streets, okay?” Quavo, present in the background, simply shrugs in agreement. The flippant remark doubled as promotion for Saweetie’s anticipated single “Back To The Streets” with Jhene Aiko. However, rather than interpreting this advice for their individual circumstances, some fans instead took it literally, using it as “evidence” of an increasing sentiment of materialism in hip-hop — especially among women. Others thought it was a wasteful expenditure, telling anyone who would listen they should instead invest in assets like land and/or businesses.
However, in her Girls United interview, she makes clear that the costly Hermés purse (which can run a purchaser anywhere from a few grand to almost half-a-million dollars, according to Google Shopping) was only an example and she wasn’t recommending only dated exorbitantly rich men. “Let’s talk about the discourse,” she jokes. “For me, a Birkin is symbolic of a gift. So to people coming in, talking about ‘Oh, I’m going to get my girl property,’ why don’t you get her property and a Birkin. My sentiments behind that were just, you know, spoil your girl. Spoil her with your loyalty, your energy, and how you treat her.”
Of course, for Quavo, one of the higher-paid entertainers in hip-hop thanks to lucrative business deals with brands like Boohoo, Doritos, Lids, and Martell, that advice really was literal. In July, a video of Saweetie dropping into a split after he gave her not one but two Birkin bags for her birthday similarly went viral, prompting even more fans to declare the two couple goals.
Saweetie is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Spike Lee’s first Oscar was for Best Adapted Screenplay for BlacKkKlansman, one of the best films of 2018. He may win his next Oscar for Da 5 Bloods. I hope he doesn’t, though. That’s not a knock on the Vietnam-set drama, featuring an award-worthy performance from Delroy Lindo, because it’s very good and very powerful. It’s just that, if Lee wins another Academy Award, it should be for his Viagra musical.
Deadlinereports that Lee is directing a movie-musical based on the Esquire article “‘All Rise: The Untold Story of The Guys Who Launched Viagra,’ which is inspired by the true events surrounding around Pfizer’s discovery and launch of the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra (Sildenafil), which was hatched as a treatment for heart-related chest pain only for researchers to find its game-changing qualities occurred below the belt. The little blue pill had staying power in the global marketplace, perking up sex lives around the world.”
Lee, who is writing the script with Young Vic Theatre artistic director Kwame Kwei-Armah, featuring original songs from Passing Strange duo Stew Stewart and Heidi Rodewald, called it a “DANCIN’,ALL SINGIN’ MUSICAL Spike Lee Joint”:
“First And Foremost, I Thank Ms. Jacquelyn Shelton Lee. I Thank My Late Mother For As She Would Say Taking “My Narrow,Rusty Behind” Dragging, Kickin’ And Screamin’ To The Movies When I Wuz A Nappy Headed Kid Growing Up In Da Streets Of Da People’s Republic Of Brooklyn. I Did Not Want To See Corny People Singin’ And Dancin’. I Instead Wanted To Play With My Friends On Da Block, Stoop Ball, Stick Ball, Punch Ball, Soft Ball, Basketball, 2 Hand Touch, Tackle Football, Coco Leevio, Johnny On Da Pony, Hot Peas And Butter, Crack Top, Down Da Sewer And Of Course-Booty’s Up.

My Father, Bill Lee, Jazz/Folk Bassist,Composer HATED HollyWeird Movies, Henceforth And What Not, Me Being The Eldest Of 5 Children I Became Mommy’s Movie Date. She Was A Cinefile.

So Finally Going Into My 4th Decade As A Filmmaker I Will Be Directing A DANCIN’,ALL SINGIN’ MUSICAL Spike Lee Joint And I Can’t Wait. My Moms Has Been Waiting TOO!!!

If the movie doesn’t keep “All Rise” as a title, it had better be Mo’ Better Blue Pill.
For years, there have been rumors that Donald Trump used racial slurs, specifically the N-word, during his time on The Celebrity Apprentice, and now, Holly Robinson Peete has confirmed that she was the target of those slurs. While appearing on SiriusXM’s The Karen Hunter Show on Tuesday, Peete recalled how the current president bristled at the idea of her winning the season three finale of the hit NBC reality show.
According to Peete, Trump argued with producers that he wanted Bret Michaels to win, which ultimately happened, but not before using the N-word in reference to the former 21 Jump Street star. Via The Daily Beast:
“Shortly after the finale, rumors started going around that he had tossed out an ‘N-word’ referring to me,” she continued. “When the producer told me when it happened, during the finale, I remember the moment. I wasn’t in earshot, but I could see them deciding between me and Bret Michaels.”
She recalled seeing Trump “talking with producers and they’re really animated and that was when I heard that he said, ‘They want the ‘N-word’ to win.’ Because I guess the network wanted me to win or me to be chosen and Trump wanted Bret.”
As for why Peete waited until now to confirm the longstanding rumor, she said that felt it wouldn’t have changed America’s perception of Trump. “People have accepted the things that he said that are so vile about so many other people, what difference is it going to make if he said that about me?” she explained.
It’s been a busy day for intergalactic master/Padawan duo Future and Lil Uzi Vert. Earlier today, they released the deluxe version of their new album Pluto X Baby Pluto just days after the original dropped. Then, just in time for kids on the East Coast getting out of school, they shared the video for the album’s secondary lead single “Over Your Head.” Directed by Hype Williams, the video is a sharp contrast to their one for “That’s It,” which found them playing an indoor soccer game with teams of models.
This time around, they’ve packed up and headed to the coast, where they sport colorful clothes while cruising on a yacht and take over a picturesque modern villa to stunt by the pool in eye-popping ensembles. As usual, the pair is flanked by a bevy of beautiful women who lounge on the deck in swimwear that doesn’t seem all that wearable for the activity of, well, swimming.
After the album dropped, Lil Uzi declared “I’m out” after dropping two more albums. Future, meanwhile, has another pair of promised joint albums to complete, although he hasn’t announced any plans to retire anytime soon. They’ve become something of a specialty of his; in between releasing his own full-length solo albums, he dropped joint projects with Drake, Young Thug, and Juice WRLD — and he’s promised sequels to the former two are coming along at some point.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez often talks about the value of keeping a social media presence, and she lives by the practice by connecting with people on a daily basis. Not only can you find her pushing back at sexist barbs about her “controversial” Vanity Fair shoot, but she addresses important policy matters on the platform as well. So yes, she’s very present and caught wind of today’s newly announced Twitter feature: Fleets.
That thing you didn’t Tweet but wanted to but didn’t but got so close but then were like nah.
Essentially, this is a feature where tweets, videos, photos filed as a Fleet disappear after 24 hours. It’s much like the “stories” feature that one can witness on Instagram or Facebook, so it’s not as though there’s an unsatisfied market for posts that act like disappearing ink. And there’s the matter of “Fleet” being an enema brand, so… it’s like cleaning house in the grossest way. Whatever vibe Twitter meant to exude, it seems to elicit a “why?” AOC is also here to voice the people’s thoughts on the subject.
“Does the fleets thing stress anyone else out?” AOC tweeted. “Like I use Twitter to get away from IG stories, not have it follow me around on every platform reminding me that I don’t have makeup on.” She added a “bargaining” request about the feature’s design.
Does the fleets thing stress anyone else out? Like I use Twitter to get away from IG stories, not have it follow me around on every platform reminding me that I don’t have makeup on
Mainly, people are confused about why this feature is rolling out with a big announcement when disappearing stories are so readily prevalent elsewhere.
If only the support department had as many people as the stuff nobody asked for department
Naturally, people would also like a “edit” button. That probably won’t happen, so people can’t edit things that people have retweeted (that would present its own issues), but users can dream (and then tweet about it forever).
When you think about fall beers, you probably think about stouts, porters, and brown ales. But if you truly want to embrace the season, we’d argue that you should crack open some scotch ales too. If you’re unfamiliar with this style, here’s a little primer: First introduced in the 1800s in Edinburgh, Scotland (hence scotch ale), this dark, rich, caramelly beer is usually higher in alcohol than your typical session brew — making it the perfect autumnal warmer.
Also known as a “Wee Heavy,” the flavors of scotch ale all are driven by sweet maltiness — sort of like a barley wine — and are sometimes finished with a gentle kiss of smoke. To help get you acquainted with this style and assure that you have a scotch ale-filled fall (and winter), we came up with a list of our favorite bottles.
Check them out below!
Rohrbach’s Scotch Ale
ABV: 6.6%
Tasting Notes:
One of the finest examples of the style, Rohrbach’s has been perfecting its Scotch Ale since 1991. This Scottish-style ale is filled with hints of vanilla, caramel, and subtly bitter hops.
Bottom Line:
While many breweries have an IPA or lager as their flagship beer, Rohrbach’s flagship beer is its scotch ale. If you can find it, buy a few cans. If not, take a road trip to Western New York and grab some.
Oskar Blues Old Chub
ABV: 8%
Tasting Notes:
This Scottish strong ale is chocked full of malted barley, specialty grains, and just the right amount of beechwood smoked malt. The result is a rich, malty, dark beer with subtle hints of cocoa, sweet caramel, and just the right amount of smoky backbone.
Bottom Line:
This is a high ABV beer. It’s well-suited as a nice warmer on a cool, fall evening. Stock up now for the colder months to come.
Great Divide Claymore
ABV: 7.7%
Tasting Notes:
Colorado’s Great Divide is well known for its Yeti series of beers. But you’d be missing out if you didn’t try its Scotch ale, Claymore. It’s filled with warming, toasty malt flavors, caramelized sugar sweetness, and toasted vanilla flavors.
Bottom Line:
This is like a warm, winter coat in beer form. Spend the freezing winter months drinking this and you won’t even need hot cocoa.
Founders Backwoods Bastard
ABV: 11%
Tasting Notes:
Founders is a big name in the world of barrel aging, but its Kentucky Breakfast Stout usually gets top billing. Take a break from that offering and grab a bottle of Founders Backwoods Bastard, a bourbon-barrel-aged Scotch ale. Like all Scotch ales, it carries the distinct, warming caramel, and malt flavors we look forward to.
On top of that, the barrel aging lends it flavors of toasted oak, single malt Scotch, and dried fruits.
Bottom Line:
This is a special beer, and it should be given the respect it deserves. Sip it slowly with a blanket on your lap in front of a fireplace.
Alesmith Barrel Aged Wee Heavy
ABV: 10%
Tasting Notes:
If you’re not ready for the barrel-aged version, you can pick up Alesmith’s original Wee Heavy. But if you’re up for a flavor experience, this 10 percent ABV scotch ale is matured in ex-bourbon barrels. This imparts flavors of charred oak, brown sugar, vanilla, and sticky toffee.
Bottom Line:
This rich, complex brew is the perfect accompaniment to heavy wintry dinners and great conversation. Pour a glass and relax as you sip it slowly.
Four Peaks Kilt Lifter
ABV: 6%
Tasting Notes:
Cheeky name aside, this is a great fall sipper. As Scotch ales go, it’s on the lighter side in terms of alcohol. But just because it has less alcohol, doesn’t mean it has less flavor. Roasted barley, rich malts, and velvety caramel are prevalent with just a hint of smoke at the end.
Bottom Line:
This is a great beginner Scotch ale due to its low alcohol content. But it’s also good enough that you’ll come back again and again.
Sun Brewery Wee Mac
ABV: 5.3%
Tasting Notes:
While many wee heavy beers and scotch ales are high in alcohol, Wee Mac isn’t. It’s the closest thing to a session scotch ale than you’re likely to find. It’s low in alcohol, but full of rich chocolate, salted caramel, and nutty sweetness.
Bottom Line:
Normally, you wouldn’t want to “throw back” a few Scotch ales. But with Wee Mac, you can. This is a great tailgate beer or backyard sipper while you rake leaves.
McEwan’s Scotch Ale
ABV: 8%
Tasting Notes:
No scotch ales list is complete without a beer made in Scotland. This Wee Heavy is as classic as they come. It’s rich, dark, and malty — with hints of roasted coffee, caramelized sugar, and subtle hops.
Bottom Line:
If you’re going to try one scotch ale, make it a Scottish original. Grab a sixer of McEwan’s before you try any of the American versions and then compare the two.
On Oct. 29, 1978, Dela Stewart left Jamaica on a contract to cut sugar cane in Florida. He spent about two months doing that — “it was hard work, man,” he tells me — before traversing the United States doing farm work with a myriad of fruits and vegetables.
He eventually settled down in Rochester, N.Y. in 1996, where he was a construction worker in a labor union. He would man the jackhammer, and Dela’s had surgeries on both shoulders, his knee, and a toe because of it, but he relished the hard work.
All of this is important context for when you see his son, Isaiah, play basketball. Because when you have an understanding of the man that raised the former University of Washington standout, things start falling into place on why no member of the 2020 Draft class can touch Isaiah Stewart’s motor.
“I knew what it was to work hard, have a chip on your shoulder,” Isaiah told Dime. “My dad displayed that my whole life.
“Having that Jamaican blood in me, something I take pride in,” he continues. “Jamaican people are very prideful. Not only that, I’m not saying that as a bad way, but they just take pride in where they’re from, how hard they work, and just getting it out the mud. That’s something me and my pops always talk about.”
Isaiah admits that Dela raised him and his brother, Martin, strict. In walking me through one of their days as kids, Dela didn’t give them a ton of flexibility: “You come from school, you eat your dinner, you take your shower, you go upstairs and you do your homework, you go to bed and sleep and get up in the morning and catch that bus again while daddy’s gone to work,” he says.
There was room in this strict upbringing for sports. Isaiah tried his hands at boxing and soccer (well, he tried his feet at this one, I suppose) while he was growing up. Dela told him that boxing wasn’t for him. Soccer wasn’t really his thing, either. So he played basketball, as he was always the biggest kid in his class, but it took Isaiah some time to get into it.
He remembers a switch flipping in “fourth or fifth grade.” The kids in his class would always want to know who was best hooper. They’d head to gym class, play, and the more Isaiah competed against everyone else, the more driven he became to be the king of the court.
“It was always the basketball players in the class, we split up and have teams,” Isaiah says. “We always kept records, every gym class. Then we kept one-on-one records, who’s the best. And then it was basically squads and posses, like, this is the captain of this crew and people will be like, ‘Yeah, he’s the best in the class.’ I just beat them all, one by one, just knocked them off the list. Kept checking it off until nobody could say they beat me or they’re better than me.”
He idolized Patrick Ewing, to the point that he wears his fellow Jamaican’s No. 33 whenever he steps on the floor. While guys like Bam Adebayo and Montrezl Harrell — other undersized centers (he’s 6’9) who can find ways to make an impact — get his close attention now, Ewing’s game, particularly his ability to face up and hit jumpers from the midrange, has always stood out.
“Everybody talks about LeBron and all those guys,” Isaiah says of his upbringing. “Those are guys I was watching, guys that all the kids root for. But I only think I really cared at that point, I was always focused on Patrick Ewing, watching his highlights and stuff.”
Winning was second-nature for Isaiah as a kid — Dela recalls Rochester’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. School No. 9 team winning every game they played with Isaiah on the floor, same for the church league for which he suited up. As he got into high school, the success kept rolling in for Isaiah, earning his conference’s player of the year award as a freshman.
It didn’t take long for Isaiah to believe he needed something different. He made his way onto USA Basketball’s radar and was viewed as a five-star prospect, and wanted a level of competition greater than what he experienced in Rochester. This desire for battles with the top players and high school programs in America drove him to La Lumiere, a prestigious high school program in Indiana.
For a kid who grew up in a home so close-knit that sleepovers weren’t allowed, there was a transition period that came with packing up his things and moving to Indiana, although Isaiah admits that it was less weird and more a new thing that he needed to get used to. Dela stressed that getting away from home could help him achieve what he wanted to as a basketball player, and getting into this new environment let Isaiah laser focus on ball — he’d work out twice a day in the summer between his junior and senior year and didn’t return home to Rochester.
It all paid off in the form of five stars from every recruiting service, a 30-1 record as a senior, invites to just about every All-Star Game you can make as a high schooler, the Naismith Prep Player of the Year award, and the Mr. Basketball USA award. Scholarship offers were plentiful, too — 247Sports lists out nearly 40 formal offers from powerhouses like Duke, Kentucky, and Michigan State.
When it came time to pick a college, Isaiah decided to rely on a relationship he built up at home. When he was 14, playing ball in the summer before he made his way to high school, he got close with then-Syracuse assistant Mike Hopkins. If you’re a good player in Upstate New York, it stands to reason that Jim Boeheim’s program is going to want you to come play at the Carrier Dome, which was very much the case with the star big man who grew up an hour or so away.
Hopkins was something of an institution at Syracuse — he went there in 1989 to play, and after a short professional career, returned in 1995 as an assistant. But in March of 2017, the California native decided to return to the west coast, taking a job as the head coach at the University of Washington. Nearly two years later, some of the seeds he began to plant during his time at Syracuse blossomed when Isaiah became the highest-rated recruit in Huskies history.
“Hop, I had that relationship with, so that played a part in the recruitment process,” Isaiah says. “I have relationships with every school, but me and Hop relationship was just different. We built that when I was 14 years old, when I was so young. So that was definitely the deal-breaker right there.”
As was the case with every player in college basketball last season, Isaiah’s season in Seattle was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Huskies had a tough campaign, going 15-17, but Stewart put up big numbers, averaging 17 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks in 32.2 minutes per game.
In his eyes, Washington afforded him the opportunity to do something that was crucial in his development: He never had to worry about the coaching staff having too quick of a hook if something went wrong.
Back-to-back highlight from Isaiah Stewart that totally encapsulates who he is.
First: step-back, face-up jumper after between-the-legs cross shows the upside. Second: busts his ass to beat everyone down the floor with his elite motor.
“Everything can’t go perfect,” Isaiah says. “Mistakes happen, and just learning from them. That’s what I loved about Coach Hop and the coaching staff. I was the guy who got double, triple[-teamed] every single game, and I made mistakes, but they allowed me to play through them. We just sat down the next day, looked at them and learned from it.”
The one thing he’s never had to learn is how to get up for a game. For Isaiah, there is only one way to “play the game the right way,” and that’s as “someone who plays with a lot of energy, someone who loves to get his nose in the dirt, and just a guy who has an excellent motor.”
You’ll be stunned to learn that Dela appreciates how hard his son plays. He raised him to not fear anyone, and to never back down from a challenge that might come his way when he goes up against another big man. He’s an especially big fan of when Isaiah gets the ball near the rim — “I like when he dunks the ball, boy,” he says with the kind of pride that can only come from a father watching his son succeed.
An NBA team is going to bring all those dunks to their organization this week when they opt to take Isaiah in the Draft. Dela wants three things to happen to his son on Wednesday night: “I hope God blesses him, and keeps him healthy and strong, and he gets drafted and goes to the right team,” he says
Isaiah has plenty of interests off the court. Real estate is one, he’s a big reader (he recommends To Kill a Mockingbird and Gym Candy, and recently enjoyed Chopped Wood Carry Water), and during his time in Washington, he connected with folks like Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and Amazon Web Services CEO Andy Jassy, the latter of whom is a “mentor.” He’s curious about how he can become a better leader, or what he can take from the worlds of football or technology and apply them to his own life, both on and off the basketball court.
But at the end of the day, he’s gotten to where he is now as a basketball player. He can see plenty of places where he needs to improve — “We went into this process by looking back at this past season, watching my film, seeing areas I need to get better in,” he says. “The main areas were being able to knock down shots, passing. I’m still working on IQ, being better at that. And being able to play in a short roll scenario.” — but he’s willing to bet on his ability to outwork anyone.
“You could be gifted with some things other people are not, but I have no problem getting it the hard way and going to the gym, working on my craft,” Isaiah says. “It may take some time to get it, but I’m going to get it.”
As for where he ends up going, Isaiah wants to be in a place that lets him, one day, look at his career and hold his head high.
“I want to win the championship,” Isaiah says when asked about where he sees himself 15 years down the line. “That’s a long career, and I want to be considered at that time as going into, hopefully, being a Hall of Famer, and just looking back at my career and saying, ‘I proved the doubters wrong. I gave it my all and I had a dominant career.’”
One of the most accomplished fighters in MMA history, Fabricio Werdum has officially joined the Professional Fighters League, the organization announced on Tuesday.
“Adding a fighter at the world champion caliber of Fabricio Werdum is next level for the Professional Fighters League,” said Ray Sefo, President of PFL Fighter Operations. “I know the rest of the league’s heavyweight fighters are as excited as I am with Fabricio joining the PFL for the 2021 season starting in April.”
At 43 years old, Werdum holds wins over Fedor Emelianenko, Cain Velasquez and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. A former UFC champion, Werdum entered free agency fresh off a submission victory against Alexander Gustafsson at UFC Fight Night in July and now he’ll take his talents to the unique PFL regular season format.
“I am excited to announce Fabricio Werdum, the Tom Brady of MMA, has signed with the Professional Fighters League,” said Peter Murray, CEO of the PFL. “Fabricio is one of the greatest heavyweights of all time and knows when he steps into the PFL cage this coming season, it is more than a fight. The PFL sport season format provides an opportunity to control his destiny, like all PFL fighters, with a transparent shot to earn another major global title and the PFL million dollar champions belt.”
Stepping into the PFL’s heavyweight division, Werdum joins up-and-comers Mohammed Usman and Justin Willis alongside 2019 champion Ali Isaev and 2019 semi-finalist Denis Goltsov. The season will begin on April 23 on ESPN2.
You could be forgiven if Jamal Murray had maybe slipped under your radar prior to the NBA restart in Orlando. But over the past couple of seasons, he’s become one of the most lethal combo guards in the league and has helped propel the Nuggets to deep postseason runs.
His performances inside the Bubble were a big coming out party, especially in the opening round when he went toe-to-toe with Donovan Mitchell and the Jazz, exploding for multiple 50-point games and gutting out a grueling seven-game series to advance and meet the Clippers in the conference semifinals.
Murray was playing like he something to prove, but beyond the primary goal of adding legendary playoff performances to his resume, it appears he found his motivation from other areas, as well, from things that had little or nothing to do with what was happening on the court.
In a recent appearance on the Knuckleheads podcast, Murray admitted that he was at least partially motivated by not wanting to have to pack up his room and leave the Bubble.
After battling back and forth with @spidadmitchell, @BeMore27 did everything he could to stay in the bubble.
Murray, of course, went on to stage a huge upset in the second round against the Clippers, who many pundits had pegged as the favorites to win the title. Murray was electric in that series as well and continued his outstanding play all the way into the conference finals, where Denver fell to the eventual champion Lakers.
But there will be no more Bubble in the coming season, as teams are set to return to some semblance of a normal schedule when the new season tips off on Dec. 22, although it remains unclear what the fan situation will be inside arenas as the nation awaits the ongoing development a vaccine that will hopefully help stem the tide of the pandemic that has once again been on the rise. Even though the Nuggets will be able to play at home this year, they might want to threaten Murray with needing to do household tasks if he doesn’t perform, because it’s apparently a very successful motivational tool for him.
