Steve Lacy Grooves On The ‘SNL’ Stage For A Performance Of ‘Bad Habit’

On his Saturday Night Live debut, Steve Lacy brought his breakthrough hit, “Bad Habit” to the stage. Since its release, the song has become a viral hit on TikTok, and has been used in over 500,000 clips. The Gemini Rights standout track has also reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

During his performance of “Bad Habit,” Lacy wore large black sunglasses, and he and his backing band wore white shirts with black S’s on them, paying homage to Dead Kennedys. He showed off his guitar chops for much of the performance, and then, during the bridge, he danced smoothly to the beat of the song. In the background is an arrangement of arrows, designed to resemble devil horns and represent the duality of the astrological sign, Gemini.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Lacy revealed that he didn’t expect for “Bad Habit” to blow up the way that it did.

“I just knew it was fun,” Lacy said. “I knew I liked it…I don’t even have that brain. I’m just making stuff constantly, and I’m always chasing that feeling of loving an idea. And I’m really harsh. I had, like, 250 ideas for the album, but I always knew I wanted 10 [songs].”

Check out the performance of “Bad Habit” above.

Hilary Duff Made A Heartbreaking Tribute To Aaron Carter Following His Death, Who Her ‘Teenage Self’ Loved Deeply

Following the tragic death of Aaron Carter, Hilary Duff has taken to Instagram to honor the singer, actor, and child star. Back in 2001, Carter made a special guest appearance as himself on a Christmas episode of Duff’s breakthrough Disney Channel show, Lizzie McGuire. The two were later romantically linked for a short time throughout the 2000s.

In her post, Duff shared her condolences, while also remembering Carter fondly.

“I’m deeply sorry that life was so hard for you and that life was so hard for you and that you had to struggle in front of the whole world,” she said. “You had a charm that was absolutely effervescent … boy did my teenage self love you deeply. Sending love to your family at this time.”

Carter was outspoken on his love for Duff, despite being in a very public love triangle between her and Lohan when they were teenagers. In a 2014 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Carter revealed that he regretted losing Duff, and very much wanted to make things right with her.

“I don’t know who she is today, she doesn’t know who I am today, but I would sweep her off her feet if I ever got a chance to again and fix what I did wrong,”

Report: The Nets Told Kyrie Irving What He Needs To Do Before He Can Return From His Suspension

Kyrie Irving is currently serving a suspension handed down by the Brooklyn Nets for his repeated refusal to disavow antisemitism and an antisemitic documentary that he previously shared on his Twitter account — the team’s exact wording was that “he is currently unfit to be associated with the Brooklyn Nets.” While Irving is guaranteed to miss five games, there is no exact date for when he can return.

It begs the question: What would the Nets want to see out of Irving before he is able to get back onto the floor? According to multiple media reports — first by Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports and then by Shams Charania of The Athletic — the team presented Irving with a collection of actions he needs to complete, which includes an apology where he condemns the movie, donating money, and going through a number of courses and meetings, which includes a sit-down with Nets owner Joe Tsai.

As Goodwill noted, Irving would need to show at the meeting that “this type of behavior will not occur again this season.” After he was suspended, Irving offered up an attempt at an apology on his Instagram, but it is worth noting that he said there were parts of the documentary that he agreed with in his statement. Prior to the, the Nets announced that Irving would donate money to the Anti-Defamation League, but in the aftermath of the suspension, the ADL announced it would not accept his money.

Post Malone Was Visibly Shocked After Hearing Insults From Hecklers

Post Malone’s “Twelve Carat” tour hasn’t been a smooth ride. Over the course of the past few months, the “Cooped Up” rapper fell through a hole on stage at a venue in St. Louis. Shortly after, he was hospitalized after having a hard time breathing. He also twisted his ankle during an Atlanta show.

To quite literally add insult to injury, Post Malone had to deal with hecklers as he was meeting fans in a video shared online today.

In a video, Post is seen meeting with a large group of fans. While they are elated to see him, and vice-versa, a couple of kids couldn’t help but hurl insults his way.

“Post Malone,” says one kid in the clip. “You a b*tch.”

Post is then seen, visibly shocked and dismayed by the kid’s words.

“You suck,” the person recording the video continues.

Post then says, “that’s rude.”

Relentlessly, the kid continues, saying, “You a b*tch, you a b*tch, Post Malone sucks.”

Since the video has been shared, fans have shared their support for Malone.

“Bruh he genuinely seems like one of the nicest ppl ever u need to leave this man alone,” said one Twitter user.

“he’s literally one of the sweetest and unproblematic rappers and yet people still do sh*ts like this to him look at his face wtf get behind me posty,” said another.

Report: Suns Forward Cam Johnson May Have Suffered A Torn Meniscus

The Phoenix Suns may be without their newest starter for a spell. Cam Johnson, who got elevated from his role on the bench at the start of this season, left Friday night’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers after five minutes with an apparent leg injury. It was unclear exactly what happened, but Johnson looked like he got hurt after planting his foot the wrong way.

It’s always a concern when this happens to someone, and apparently, the Suns believe something serious happened. Shams Charania of The Athletic brings word that the team is worried that Johnson suffered a torn meniscus, although they are going to continue to evaluate his knee.

Johnson, who the team took 11th overall in the 2019 NBA Draft, has turned into a tough wing defender and dead-eye shooter whose ability to space the floor is of major importance for Phoenix’s offense. His ascension into the starting lineup has come in the place of veteran forward Jae Crowder, who has stayed home this season while the team has looked to trade him. Further complicating matters for Johnson is that he is slated to become a restricted free agent next summer. Johnson has averaged 13 pints per game so far this season.

De’Aaron Fox Pulled Up From Midcourt For A Game-Winning Buzzer-Beater Over The Magic

The Sacramento Kings and the Orlando Magic kicked off Saturday’s NBA slate with one of the best games of the season. The two teams needed overtime to determine a winner, and thanks to a buzzer-beater from halfcourt by De’Aaron Fox, the Kings were able to pick up a thrilling 126-123 road victory.

It looked like the two teams would need a second overtime to determine a winner. Orlando trapped Malik Monk in the corner and forced him to throw a terrible pass, which landed in the hands of Chuma Okeke. The crowd in Orlando exploded as Okeke threw it in, but the Kings were not deterred. Fox got the ball and pushed it up the court, but instead of putting his head down and using his game-changing speed to attack the rim with only five seconds left, Fox was a little more careful.

This ended up being a good decision, as Jalen Suggs looked like he was expecting Fox to blow by him and gave him space. As a result, Fox was able to get a pretty clean look from midcourt, so he pulled up, let it fly, and got to play the hero in a game he dominated.

Fox had 37 points, five rebounds, three assists, and a steal in 40 minutes of work. With the win, Sacramento moves to 3-5 on the season.

LAFC Beat The Union To Win MLS Cup In The Greatest Game In League History

Major League Soccer crowned a champion on Saturday afternoon, and they needed a whole heck of a lot of time to determine who would wear the crown. Los Angeles Football Club played host to the Philadelphia Union in a battle of 1-seeds, and by the time the dust settled, Los Angeles could call themselves champions via a penalty shootout in the greatest game that MLS has ever seen.

The two sides were level after 90 minutes, with Kellyn Acosta and Jesús Merillo finding the back of the net for Los Angeles and Dániel Gazdag and Jack Elliott scoring for the Union. Somehow, someway, things got even crazier than you could ever expect after that. A red card was given to LAFC goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau in the 116th minute with the game still level, but because of how late in the game it occurred, it was going to take something unforeseen for a winner to be decided in regulation.

Elliott seemed like he did that exact thing. In the fourth minutes of an added nine in injury time, the Union leaned on the tried and true method of pumping the ball into the box over and over with the hopes that something good would happen. And after a lengthy spell of chaos, Elliott made that special thing happen.

But cometh the hour, cometh the man, and LAFC has one hell of a man to call on in these moments. Legendary Welsh forward Gareth Bale went up and got his head to a ball played in by Diego Palacios, which managed to sneak just past the outstretched arm of Andre Blake.

Blake, the captain for Philadelphia, was able to respond on the first penalty, stonewalling a poor effort by Cristian Tello. But the Union were unable to capitalize, as Gazdag’s foot slipped and he skied his attempt.

LAFC’s Denis Bouanga stepped up and converted his, and then, John McCarthy came up big, stopping an effort by José Martínez. Ryan Hollingshead converted his effort, putting the heat on Philly. McCarthy stopped yet another penalty, this time from Kai Wagner, to put Ilie Sánchez in a position to win the Cup for Los Angeles. Blake guessed right, but Sánchez was able to just tuck the ball into the corner for the winner.

The victory marks the first time in LAFC’s brief history that they can call themselves MLS Cup winners.
