Shortly after the second anniversary of his death, Juice WRLD’s estate released the late rapper’s second posthumous album. Fighting Demons arrived nearly a year and a half after Legends Never Die, the first album released after his death. At the same time, there have been a lot of leaks of music he never released. It’s unknown where these leaks are coming from, but it’s reached the point where iJuice WRLD’s mother, Ms. Carmella Wallace, has spoken out against them.
“I understand they loved him,” she said while speaking to XXL. “They loved his music, but there’s a proper way to do it. Let us give you our best. Leaked music is not necessarily cleaned up music, it’s just leaked, it’s not finished. So, it’s just a lot of work just going into it.” She continued, “It’s a bit disrespectul to him, honestly, to leak his music like that. But I know that monster is there, been there and it’s not going anywhere. We can just do our part and put out good music. He made a lot of good music.”
Just a month after Juice WRLD’s death, TMZreported that he had around 2,000 unreleased songs in his vault. Some of those can be found on Legends Never Die and Fighting Demons while others are set to appear on future efforts, like the trilogy of projects which includes an EP titled The Party Never Ends.

According to Raw Story, the Kentucky senator posted a link on Tuesday to a piece by The Washington Examiner that detailed how Democrats were able to carry Wisconsin, whose denizens had voted Trump four years prior. Short version: They convinced enough people to vote for them. Amazing how that works! But to Paul, getting voters to vote for you is tantamount to stealing.
How to steal an election: “Seeding an area heavy with potential Democratic votes with as many absentee ballots as possible, targeting and convincing potential voters to complete them in a legally valid way, and then harvesting and counting the results.”https://t.co/LwE3MdeWeG
Paul quoted a section from the Examiner piece: ‘Seeding an area heavy with potential Democratic votes with as many absentee ballots as possible, targeting and convincing potential voters to complete them in a legally valid way, and then harvesting and counting the results.’” Paul prefaced this with the words, “How to steal an election.”
Thing is, even Paul’s selective, out-of-context quote doesn’t remotely suggest stealing. In fact, it’s how democracy works. Perhaps his beef is with absentee ballots. If so, he would be shocked to learn absentee ballots are legal forms of voting. So is “convincing potential voters to complete them.” Counting votes is also legal. Indeed, there’s no illegal activity going on anywhere in the sentence Paul quoted as evidence of malfeasance.
But don’t take it from us. Take it from the many, many people who dragged Paul on social media over what was either a mental hiccup or a damning self-reveal, suggesting he simply doesn’t like it when voters vote Democratic.
You literally described the legal voting method. That’s not stealing you idiot. It’s called letting American’s vote. It feels like stealing because your party is shrinking into nothing.
“You literally described the legal voting method,” wrote Project Lincoln’s Fred Wellman. “That’s not stealing you idiot. It’s called letting American’s vote. It feels like stealing because your party is shrinking into nothing.”
Others were happy to educate Paul as well.
So campaigning and asking for votes is stealing? Have you considered if you weren’t so racist and broken those votes might come back for you?
Thank you sir for uncovering this disgusting plot to get people to vote, and your leadership in preventing it from happening again. What kind of democracy do we have when this is possible?
Others posited that perhaps Paul simply doesn’t like secure and fair elections.
The are far too many elected officials like @RandPaul who view the essential elements of democracy as a bug, not a feature, of the American political system.
Reminder- Rand Paul did not support people in his own state getting child tax credits every month. When those checks don’t come next month, Thank Rand and his Republican colleagues.
“On behalf of the entire NFL family, we extend our condolences to Virginia, Mike, Joe and their families,” said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. “We all know him as the Hall of Fame coach of the Oakland Raiders and broadcaster who worked for every major network, but more than anything, he was a devoted husband, father and grandfather.
“Nobody loved football more than Coach,” Goodell added. “He was football. He was an incredible sounding board to me and so many others. There will never be another John Madden, and we will forever be indebted to him for all he did to make football and NFL what it is today.”
From there, former players shared love in celebrating Madden’s impact.
Just found out that John Madden has passed away. The world and the world of sports has lost a true icon. We all learns so much from him. My prayer go out to his family.
“The bucket, that’s how big it is. Third year in the league. Then you ask questions like, ‘Is it married?’ And it’s like, ‘Yeah, bucket’s married.’ ‘You got a family?’ ‘Yeah, I got a baby bucket’ And then brought the ice because we’re in California. Family.” – John Madden pic.twitter.com/HAjLy1FGLv
Media members also attempted to put Madden’s passing in its proper context, extolling his virtues not only as a Hall of Fame coach but also a highly influential media figure and the fact of the most popular football video game franchise ever.
John Madden means something different to basically every generation of American in the last 50 years. Coach, broadcaster, video game pioneer. That is a remarkable life.
I think of John Madden and Dick Vitale as a matched pair in terms of me becoming a sports fan as a kid. They both knew a lot about the games they called, but I didn’t. I was a kid. But I picked up that they were having a blast watching/talking about it and followed from there.
big part of why everyone my age thinks every football color commentator is wack is because we grew up with john madden. man set an unreachable standard.
Few approached life with the joy of legendary football coach & broadcaster John Madden. A colleague at CBS, he was a gentleman with a boisterous sense of humor. On the sidelines & in the booth, this voluble mountain of energy was a trailblazer. A golden era ends with his passing.
More tributes will undoubtedly roll in during the coming hours and days. In short, every media and/or football observer has at least one prominent memory of Madden, and the word “legend” is appropriately assigned to his legacy.
Back in March, Rachelle Cordova, who performs under the name Reina del Cid, performed a cover of “Octopus’s Garden” by The Beatles and it’s truly delightful. In the video, Cordova plays with lead guitarist Toni Lindgren and Travis Worth who sat in on bass.
The video has clearly brought a lot of joy to others, it’s received over 788,000 views on YouTube.
The song is so much fun because of Lindren’s note-perfect replication of George Harrison’s iconic lead guitar and the trio’s perfect harmonies. The band also manages to capture The Beatles’ signature joie de vivre.
“Octopus’s Garden” is one of the most popular Beatles’ tunes and was written by drummer Ringo Starr. Starr came up with the idea after hearing Peter Sellers’ boat captain tell him about how octopuses travel along the sea bed picking up stones and shiny objects with which to build gardens.
There’s a sweet moment in Peter Jackson’s epic “Get Back” documentary where you can see Ringo bring the song to the band during the “Let it Be” sessions. While John Lennon and Paul McCartney seem disinterested in the tune, George Harrison steps up and helps the drummer complete his sweet little ditty.
The song would go on to appear on The Beatles’ final album, “Abbey Road” and would become one of Starr’s most popular compositions.

Why should a superintendent get a raise while teachers in the same district struggling to make ends meet see their paychecks flatline — year after year after year?
Teacher Deyshia Hargrave begged the question. Minutes later, she was handcuffed and placed in the backseat of a cop car.
The scene was captured below by YouTube user Chris Rosa, who attended a board meeting for Vermilion Parish Schools in Louisiana.
You can watch Hargrave begin speaking about 33 seconds in. The situation starts becoming contentious around 6:35 minutes. Hargrave is arrested at 8:35, and then walked outside in handcuffs and placed in the back of police vehicle.
Vermilion Parish teacher gets arrested at Vermilion Parish school board meeting
Teacher Deyshia Hargrave was questioning the school board how they can vote to give the superintendent a raise when school employees have not gotten a raise …
“We work very hard with very little to maintain the salaries that we have,” Hargrave, who teaches middle school language arts, said during a public comment portion of the meeting, stating that she’s seen classroom sizes balloon during her time at the school with no increased compensation. “We’re meeting those goals, while someone in that position of leadership [the superintendent] is getting raise? It’s a sad, sad day to be a teacher in Vermilion Parish.”
According to comments Hargrave made to BuzzFeed News, she believes Superintendent Jerome Puyau was already making $110,000 before the board voted to give him a raise of $38,000. The raise alone is roughly the salary of “a teacher, or two cafeteria workers, or two janitors,” Hargrave told the outlet.
After Hargrave spoke out again later in the meeting, a city marshal on duty asked her to leave — even though the school board was still addressing her.
“You’re going to leave, or I’m going to remove you,” the officer told her, as seen in the video. Many people in attendance seemed shocked. “Are you serious?” someone asked, aghast, in the crowd.
Hargrave leaves the room, followed by the officer. But moments later, someone chimed in, “he’s putting her in handcuffs” — and the room erupts in disarray.
“I am not [resisting], you just pushed me to the floor!” Hargrave is heard screaming at the officer, as he forcibly removes her down the hallway and out the building in handcuffs. “Sir, hold on! I am way smaller than you!”

According to KATV News, Hargrave was booked in the city jail for resisting an officer — a fact that left many commenters online flabbergasted. School officials are reportedly not pressing charges. “Umm … what charges could they possibly make?” one Redditor noted.
With help from the Reddit community, Rosa’s video has gone viral, garnering more than 600,000 views in less than 24 hours. Clearly, Hargrave’s earnest question about inequality in our education system — met with a grotesque abuse of power — has clearly touched a nerve with people across the country.
“I don’t know how this teacher could have been more polite and patient in her earnest desire to find out why the superintendent deserves a raise while the teachers work harder with less,” YouTube commenter Scott Wells chimed in. “She continued to press because they refused to come up with an answer. Seems like a good question to me.”
Earlier this month, an image of Dr. Dre sitting with a big smile on his face in front of balloons with the words “Divorced AF” hit the internet. The photo was posted by music executive Breyon Prescott, who captioned it, “Hey Well My Brother @drdre Just Told Me It’s Final.” He posted it after a report from TMZ revealed that Dre and his ex-wife Nicole Young’s divorce settlement had ended with him paying her a lump sum of $2 million and an additional $500,000 to cover her attorney fees. Now, new reports from Rolling Stone andTMZ reveal that Dre will have to dish out a lot more money.
Dre has now agreed to pay Nicole a total of $100 million — $50 million now and the remaining half a year from now — which is a sizable cut from his $828 million net worth. The former couple’s prenup barred Nicole from receiving half of Dre’s net worth. However, in addition to the $100 million that Dre will pay her, Nicole keeps four out of the 10 vehicles the couple owned, as well as jewelry, cash, and bank accounts that she maintained during their marriage. Lastly, there are storage lockers filled with items that Dre put in there from their various homes. The settlement says Nicole can keep all of the items in the storage lockers that belong to her.
As for Dre himself, he keeps seven of the properties they own, including a Malibu home, two homes in Calabasas, and four properties in the L.A. area, which includes a $100 million Brentwood estate. He also retains his master recordings, trademarks, interests in various partnerships and trusts, as well as their Apple stocks, which includes proceeds from his Beats By Dre deal.
Sources connected to the former couple say that Nicole could have received an even larger amount from Dre if she had settled a year ago. “She could have even been on the field for the Super Bowl halftime show as a friendly ex-wife,” a source told TMZ.
John Madden, the legendary football coach and broadcaster who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006, died on Tuesday morning. The news of Madden’s passing came in a statement from the NFL. He was 85 years old.
“On behalf of the entire NFL family, we extend our condolences to Virginia, Mike, Joe and their families,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said of Madden’s passing. “We all know him as the Hall of Fame coach of the Oakland Raiders and broadcaster who worked for every major network, but more than anything, he was a devoted husband, father and grandfather.
“Nobody loved football more than Coach,” Goodell continued. “He was football. He was an incredible sounding board to me and so many others. There will never be another John Madden, and we will forever be indebted to him for all he did to make football and NFL what it is today.”
After injuries prevented Madden from playing in the NFL, the Minnesota native turned to coaching, where he established himself as one of the greatest in league history. Madden was the head coach of the Oakland Raiders from 1969-78 and recorded a 103-32-7 record. Under his guidance, the Raiders never finished lower than second in their division and never had a sub-.500 record, making the playoffs eight times in his 10-year tenure. In 1976, Madden and the Raiders lifted the Lombardi Trophy as Super Bowl champions for the only time in his coaching career.
Immediately after retiring in Jan. 1979, Madden made his way into the broadcasting booth, where he became a ubiquitous presence in the biggest games on the NFL’s calendar. Sitting alongside revered play-by-play men like Pat Summerall, Al Michaels, and numerous others, Madden carved out a role as one of the best to ever sit in the booth, as his unique personality and knowledge and love of football were on display whenever he spoke on a broadcast. He announced his retirement from calling games in April of 2009.
Off the field, Madden appeared in numerous commercials and movies, while the most successful football video game series in the world, EA Sports’ Madden NFL, bears his name.
The NFT market has become a multi-billion dollar space. A $23 billion space, in fact, according to DappRadar. As of late, we’ve seen NFT launches from pop superstars like The Weeknd, deceased rappers like Tupac, legacy indie stalwarts Interpol teaming up with director David Lynch, and even SZA in collaboration with AMEX. Now Ozzy Osbourne, the man who claims the devil has protected him from COVID-19 is launching a new NFT collection.
Dubbed “Cryptobatz,” the series pays homage to the time Osbourne famously bit a bat’s head off on stage at a 1982 Black Sabbath show. According to the CryptoBatz website, they were conceived by Osbourne and “a team of NFT obsessed nerds known as Sutter Systems,” there are 9,666 CryptoBatz in total, which look like a pixelated Nintendo style bat from here. Although these NFT bats are not your average non-fungible token. According to the website, these are mutant NFTs:
“WE WANTED CRYPTOBATZ TO DO SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING THAT WASN’T EASY, SOMETHING THAT WE HADN’T SEEN BEFORE. EVERY CRYPTOBAT HOLDS AN INNOVATIVE POWER… THE ABILITY TO ‘BITE’ AN NFT FROM A DIFFERENT BLUE CHIP PROJECT AND CREATE A ‘MUTANTBAT’ THAT SHARES THE DNA OF BOTH TOKENS.
EVERY CRYPTOBAT CAN BITE ONCE AND ONCE ONLY, SO CHOOSE CAREFULLY, AS WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO BITE WILL DICTATE WHICH MUTANTBAT YOU CREATE.
TO BITE FROM A SELECTION OF BLUE CHIP ‘VICTIM’ PROJECTS, YOU MUST HOLD BOTH THE CRYPTOBAT AND THE VICTIM BOTH IN THE SAME WALLET. BITING UTILITY WILL OPEN UP SOON AFTER PUBLIC MINT (EXACT DATE TBD).”
Got that?
“I’ve been trying to get in on the NFT action for a while so when I asked Sharon for a Bored Ape for Christmas after several failed attempts of buying my own, and she said no, so I decided to create my own,” Osbourne said in a statement. No word yet on whether these NFTs provide protection against the Omicron variant though.
Introducing “CryptoBatz”

The Cincinnati Bearcats are headed into the College Football Playoff with an undefeated record and the label of being the first Group of 5 team to ever make the FBS tournament. They have quite the tall task ahead of them in their first game, as the fourth-seeded AAC champs will take on No. 1 Alabama in the Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Eve.
The good news for Cincy is that they are quite good, led in part by a nasty defense that has perhaps the best cornerback duo in the country. Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner and Coby Bryant have been locking down opponents all season long, with both guys earning All-American nods and Bryant winning the Jim Thorpe Award, given annually to the best defensive back in the sport.
Bryant is going to do something a little special for the postseason. As you can guess by his name, the standout cornerback is named after the late Kobe Bryant, and while the Bearcats are on this run, Bryant will change his number from 7 to 8 to honor the Hall of Fame inductee.
“I just try to represent him as well as I can,” Bryant recently said about the move. “The best way is to put the number 8 on. I took it back to vintage Kobe.”
This isn’t the first nod Bryant’s made to Kobe during his collegiate career. If he has his way, he’ll have one more in store in the form of the Bearcats knocking off Alabama and either Georgia or Michigan en route to a national title.
Perhaps you’ve seen the mildly viral clip that surfaced in 2015 back of some future teeny boppers in Cincinnati shading Demi Lovato when she was replacing Ariana Grande at a concert? Well, Lovato apparently hadn’t seen it until yesterday when a social media re-tread of the clip resurfaced. Rest assured, Lovato was a good sport. Here’s what happened:
In 2015, Ariana Grande was scheduled to play the MLB All-Star Game at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. Trouble is, Grande had to get her final three wisdom teeth pulled out and had no choice but to err… pull… her scheduled performance.
So a local news reporter has the gall to go interview a group of young girls (who look between the ages 5-8) and ask them how they felt about their favorite star being replaced. It went a little something like this:
Reporter: So you really like Ariana Grande?
Little Girl Number 1: yeah
Reporter: What about Demi Lovato?
Little Girl Number 1: I haven’t really heard of him.
Reporter: Who’s your favorite singer?
Little Girl Number 2: Ariana Grande
Reporter: Why?
Little Girl Number 2: because of her high-pitched voice
Reporter: What do you think of Demi Lovato?
Little Girl Number 2: She’s pretty good… for her age.
Mind you, Grande and Lovato are less than one year apart in age, but tell that to these fangirls. So when Instagram meme aggregator user @90scumbucket (lol) posted the video yesterday, it came across Lovato’s feed and they commented with an affable “HAHAHAHA.” Here’s hoping those kids have schooled themselves across the pop singer spectrum since then. Watch the clip below.
