Yesterday (November 18), a clip of Herschel Walker dancing at a Georgia voter rally went viral. In the video, Walker is seen busting some questionable dance moves to Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s 1995 hit, “Tha Crossroads.”

Bone Thugs member Krayzie Bone caught wind of the dance moves and took to Twitter to express his confusion.

“Yoooo what the hell is he doing?” said Krayzie.

The dance moves weren’t the only thing shocking to Krayzie. Fans were certain that Walker did not receive permission to use “Tha Crossroads” for his campaign. Krayzie confirmed fans were correct, saying, “Hell no it wasn’t [cleared] and what the hell he doing, dancing? Smh”

It doesn’t look like Krayzie will be letting it go anytime soon. He continued expressing his shock and chagrin, saying, “I’m still tryna figure out was he trying to pop lock or something. you can’t pop lock to cross roads man.”

At the time of writing, none of the other members of Bone Thugs have acknowledged Walker’s moves, however, fans have encouraged the group to file a lawsuit against him.

Krayzie has not indicated whether or not he will pursue legal action, however, he noted that he’s “Gone have to have a lil talk with Hershel”

Last night (November 18) at the LA stop of her Special tour, Lizzo surprised fans by bringing out a couple of her friends and collaborators.

First, she brought out Missy Elliott to join her for a performance of “Tempo,” their collaboration from Lizzo’s 2019 album, Cuz I Luv You.

“Everybody make some noise for the f*cking icon and legend, Missy ‘Misdemeanor’ Elliott,” she said following the performance.

Shortly after, Lizzo’s 2021 track, “Rumors” began to play. Cardi B, who is featured on the song, then stepped out onto the stage and joined Lizzo in a performance of the song.

It appears that everyone’s heads are still spinning after the show. Later in the night, Lizzo took to Twitter to thank both artists for joining her on stage.

“Being on stage w you is a DREAM but knowing you is unfathomable!,” Lizzo said about Missy. “My absolute ICON! I love you 5EVA!”

She also noted that she has been keeping up with Cardi since before her Love & Hip Hop days, “But as much as I fan over her as an artist, who she is as a PERSON is UNMATCHED.”

Cardi also expressed her excitement following the show, saying, “It was very pretty, very positive and I saw Missy Elliot.”

The biggest regular season game in college football this season takes place next week, as Michigan travels to Columbus for a showdown with Ohio State in a game with major Playoff implications. The third-ranked Wolverines and second-ranked Buckeyes had to get through this weekend first, though, and for the fine folks in Ann Arbor, that meant taking on a difficult Illinois team.

It was not easy, but ultimately, Michigan was able to pick up a 19-17 win in the Big House. This did not come without some controversy, as the Illini had the Wolverines dead to rights if they were just able to stop them on a fourth down. Michigan’s offense faced a fourth-and-3 from near midfield while down by one, and because they were all out of timeouts, a turnover on downs would give Illinois a win.

JJ McCarthy completed a pass to Isaiah Gash for a first down, and eventually, Michigan would kick a game-winning field goal. But the pass to Gash came under controversial circumstances, as the officials did not penalize the Wolverine offense for what looked like an illegal pick play.

Illini coach Bret Bielema, who expressed at halftime that he was not happy with the refs, took to Twitter after the game and made clear that this will be a point of emphasis over the next week.

“I’m extremely pissed off,” Bielema said after the game about the officiating, per Footballscoop. “Very angry, very upset. I think our kids did a lot to win the football game and to continually have things go against us, very frustrating.

“You have to stand up for the people you believe in. I believe in that locker room, big-time. I know they’ll rise up to the challenge once again.”

In celebration of his new album, More Love, Less Ego, Afrofusion superstar Wizkid paid a visit to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He performed one of his new songs, “Money & Love” from the album.

For the performance, Wizkid was surrounded by saxophonists and drummers, as he sang, “My pocket full of money, oh /
My heart dey full of love, oh, / Nobody better for the dancer, no / Fine lady she dey bounce along” on the song’s chorus.

Wizkid’s latest album arrives as Afrofusion is rapidly rising across the globe. Though he has reached household name status, he recently spoke with The Dotty Show on Apple Music 1 and explained that his sole mission is to spread as much love as possible.

“You can’t even buy that type of love, you know? That’s all that matters,” he said. “Like, this is pretty much all I live for. My kids’ happiness, me taking care of people close to me, you know, my friends, like, spreading a lotta love, man, just doing what I do best by making amazing music. That is, like, the most important thing to me in my life. Everyone needs it, especially right now.”

One of the best footballers in the world will have to pull out of the sport’s biggest tournament. According to ESPN FC’s Julien Laurens, France striker Karim Benzema will not be able to participate in the World Cup after suffering a quadriceps injury during training on Saturday.

The official Twitter account of France’s national team confirmed the news.

The news of Benzema’s injury costing him the entire World Cup, a tournament which France won in 2018, is new. But earlier in the day, it was announced that he would miss at least Les Bleus’ opener against Australia, while the rest of his tournament was in doubt pending further examination.

Benzema, the talismanic forward from Real Madrid, has struggled with injuries for the start of this club campaign, but was expected to be able to go in Qatar. The reigning Ballon d’Or winner, given annually to the best player in the world, Benzema accrued 44 goals in 46 games across all competitions last season for Madrid, which won La Liga and the Champions League.

It’s a brutal twist for Benzema, who was slated to return to the tournament after not being selected to suit up for France in Russia in 2018. France’s group consists of Australia, Denmark, and Tunisia, with the matchup against Australia taking place on Tuesday.

The still untitled fifth Indiana Jones is still a ways away, and there’s still so much unknown about it. We know Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Jones plays his goddaughter, and that John Rhys-Davies is one of the only returning vets, resurrecting his role as helpful Sallah. But what is it about? And who will 80-something Indy battle? Well, now we know at least a little bit about his final, Spielberg-less adventure, and it appears he’ll be fighting an old foe — again.

A new piece by Empire reveals that cinema’s most famous archaeologist (and one of the least present professors) will go out the way he came in: fightin’ Nazis. The fivequel takes place in 1969, during the space race. (The math doesn’t entirely work out. Raiders of the Lost Ark, released in 1981, was set in 1936. If we’re being nit-picky, it should be set in 1977, perhaps giving us Disco Indy, who could even go see the guy who plays him in Star Wars. But we digress.)

So where do Nazis fit in in the year of Woodstock? Well, as co-writer Jez Butterworth points out, “the moon-landing program was run by a bunch of ex-Nazis,” adding, “How ‘ex’ they are is the question. And it gets up Indy’s nose…”

Among them is Mads Mikkelsen’s baddie Voller, who was inspired in part by real-life Nazi-turned-NASA-engineer Wernher von Braun. “He’s a man who would like to correct some of the mistakes of the past,” Mikkelsen told Empire. “There is something that could make the world a much better place to live in. He would love to get his hands on it. Indiana Jones wants to get his hands on it as well. And so, we have a story.” Here’s what he looks like:

And here’s Boyd Holbrook as Klaber, described by the actor as a “lapdog to Mads, and a crazy one at that”:

To recap: In what will be his final adventure, senior citizen Indiana Jones will fight Nazis in the Swingin’ Sixties, possibly in (or at least involving) space. And who doesn’t enjoy seeing Nazis eat it? Tarantino certainly does.

Indiana Jones 5 (or whatever it will be called) is due in theaters on June 30, 2023.

The Memphis Grizzlies saw Ja Morant get helped into the locker room on Friday night. Morant, the NBA’s reigning Most Improved Player and a second-team All-NBA selection, landed after an attempted floated, took one step, and accidentally stepped on the foot of Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort.

Morant was in pain, got examined by the training staff, and eventually got helped into the locker room without putting too much weight on his leg. And on Saturday afternoon, the Grizzlies announced that Morant suffered an ankle sprain and gave him a week-to-week designation as they attempt to figure out when he will be able to return to action.

“After further evaluation, it was determined that Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant suffered a Grade 1 sprain of his left ankle during the November 18 game against the Oklahoma City Thunder,” the team said in a statement. “Morant’s return to play timeline will be week-to-week, and updates will be provided as appropriate.”

The Grizzlies gained experience playing without Morant last season. The All-Star guard spent multiple lengthy spells on the sidelines due to injuries during the 2021-22 campaign, which limited him to 57 of a potential 82 games. The team accrued a 20-5 record when Morant was unable to play.

Memphis went on to beat Oklahoma City, 121-110.

Florence And The Machine‘s Dance Fever tour has come to an abrupt pause. Following an onstage injury, the band’s lead vocalist Florence Welch has taken to her Instagram stories to announce that the UK leg of the tour will be postponed, due to a broken foot.

“I’m so sorry to say that after an x-ray, it seems I was dancing on a broken foot last night,” Welch wrote. “It is not in my nature to postpone a show, and certainly not a U.K. tour, but I’m in pain and as dancers know, dancing on an injury is not a good idea. And [I] have been told not to perform to avoid further damage.”

Welch noted that those with tickets will be able to use them at a later date, as she and her team are working to get the dates rescheduled for next year.

She continued, “I’m heartbroken as the Dance Fever tour has been my favourite show we have ever put on. The communion with you. Your beautiful faces shining. I love you so much, and I’m so sorry to anyone who is disappointed. My heart is aching. I can’t wait to be back on my feet and back in your arms.”

The rescheduled dates have not yet been announced.

Tyrese Maxey had an excellent first half against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night. He was unable to play in the second half, however, after he stepped on Bucks guard Jevon Carter’s foot, which caused his ankle to roll and led to Maxey being in some serious pain. After shooting some free throws, he left the game and did not return.

A preliminary x-ray came back negative, but Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported that Maxey would need an MRI on Saturday. That ended up happening, and according to both Wojnarowski and Shams Charania of The Athletic, Maxey suffered a small fracture in his foot that is expected to keep him out for the next 3-4 weeks.

Shortly after that, the Sixers confirmed that their standout third-year guard is headed to the sidelines for a spell, but noted that he will be examined in two weeks.

The fact that he does not need surgery is encouraging, but considering James Harden is sidelined with a foot injury of his own, Philadelphia is going into the next few games with an extremely depleted backcourt. De’Anthony Melton has stepped into the starting lineup with Harden down, while Shake Milton played 31 minutes off the bench against the Bucks in Maxey’s absence.

Jung Kook is keeping the BTS Army fed. Ahead of the upcoming FIFA World Cup, the BTS vocalist has announced that he will perform a new single at the opening ceremony.

Jung Kook’s upcoming solo offering is called “Dreamers” and arrives in time for the opening ceremony Sunday. The song’s accompanying music video will premiere on Tuesday via FIFA’s official YouTube channel.

In a recent interview with WeVerse, Jung Kook revealed that he is working on solo material ahead of BTS’ hiatus, however, he is still learning to be comfortable singing in his natural voice.

“I want to receive a lot of recognition and hopefully be able to hear my own singing and think, ‘Wow, I’m really, really good,’” he said. “In other words, I want to be able to sing really well and feel comfortable doing so. I can’t feel that way every time I sing, but … I just want to be good. Now that I’m a singer and have appeared on so many different stages, there’s times I do such a good job up there that it gives me goosebumps, and with those experiences piling up, I keep thinking, How freeing and fun would it be to get up on stage and be able to sing the perfect song? Completely worry free, just like in my imagination.”

“Dreamers” is out 11/20.
