Nick Young Threatens Reporter for Dissing Iggy Azalea

Larry Busacca, Getty Images

Iggy Azalea has become one of the most talked about artists in all of music within the span of a year. Whether you enjoy her pop-tinged brand of hip-hop, agree with the implications that her success has been spurred for racial reasons, or just don’t really give a damn, everybody seems to have an opinion on Iggy Azalea and we don’t mean just inside of the world of music. Iggy Azalea happens to be dating NBA player Nick Young, who goes by the name of Swaggy P.


Young is known in most circles as an air-headed shoot-first player and has become a fan favorite for his inflated sense of self and his over-the-top proclamations. Usually known to be a pretty jolly and carefree guy, a certain ESPN reporter ruffled Iggy’s boo’s feathers so much that he decided to take to social media and fire off a few warning shots earlier today.


Robert Flores, a veteran reporter for ESPN, was doing a bit on Sportscenter this morning and was on a roll as usual. But when he bgan talking about Nick Young’s infamous dolphin story, he took the time as an opportunity to send a few jabs Iggy’s way. Stating that “while dolphins try and kill Nick Young, his girlfriend [Iggy], is trying to kill hip-hop,” Flores added yet another joke to the pile of insults directed toward Iggy Azalea during her career, but Nick Young wasn’t having it. Check out the tweets below:


Those tweets were eventually deleted, but the Los Angeles Laker continued to defend his stance, tweeting that the sports shows want to be “like BET” and that he can take a joke, but certain things are off limits.


While Flores has yet to respond directly, with the exchange making the rounds online, he simply tweeted the following:


Hopefully cooler heads can prevail and Swaggy P and Robert Flores can come to some sort of understanding and let bygones be bygones cause by the sound of things, Nick Young is definitely ready for the fade.

Kanye West Brit AwardsGareth Cattermole, Getty Images

After debuting the song at the 2015 Brit Awards, rapper Kanye West unveils the studio version of his gritty new single, “All Day.” The track also features vocals from Theophilus London and up-and-coming rhymer Allan Kingdom.


Produced by Velous and French Montana, the song boasts a bass-heavy beat, creepy synths and otherworldly sounds. Yeezy is spitting braggadocios rhymes and rewindable punchlines.


West kicks it off with the infectious chorus that goes, “How long you n—-s ball? (All day) / How much time you spent at the mall? (All day) / How many runners do you got on call? (All day) / How long do they keep you in court (All Day).”


For his first verse, he raps, “They better watch what they say to me / People still gettin’ popped on the day to day / Though I still got the 100 with the small face, n—- / Might spend 50 racks on my off day, n—- / You a fake Denzel like the Allstate n—- / If you run into me, better have Allstate with you, uh.”


“All Day” is the latest single from West’s upcoming seventh album, So Help Me God . In recent weeks, the Chicago native has released his Paul McCartney collaboration “Only One” and “Wolves” featuring Sia and Vic Mensa.


During his interview with Zane Lowe on his BBC Radio 1 show, West said the album is almost done but no release date has been finalized. “[I'm] just working hard on it,” he said. “It’s fun to work hard. We’re being inventive.”

Shad 'Bow Wow' Moss Prepares for His Debut on 'CSI: Cyber' [VIDEO]





We are just two days away from watching Shad Moss (aka Bow Wow) make his television acting debut on CSI: Cyber, a tech spin-off of CBS’ long-running forensics drama. The rapper-actor has posted a few clips from the series to get fans ready for the big premier.

On the show, Moss plays former hacker named Brody “Baby Face” Nelson who joins the team after getting caught illegally wiring millions of dollars into his bank account. Although he’s garnered the trust of his superior, there are other members on the team who are leery of him.


In the series opener, the cyber team investigate a kidnapping case involving a hacked baby monitor.


CSI: Cyber will premiere on CBS on March 4 at 10PM ET. Follow Moss on his Instagram for more previews of the series. Check out the videos below.

10 Rappers & Singers Promoting Unexpected Products




Action Bronson Goes 730 in 'Actin Crazy' Video


After a few years of putting work in on the underground circuit, hip-hop’s current wild man Action Bronson is finally ready for prime time. With the release of his major label debut, Mr. Wonderful, set to touch down on March 24, he has spent the first two months of the year setting the stage for his much anticipated LP. Action, known for his off-the-wall antics and unpredictability, delivers his latest offering in the form of his new video for “Actin Crazy.”


Whenever you check out anything that the Flushing, Queens native puts out, you expect something lively and original, and he rises to the occasion yet again with this entertaining clip. The video begins with Action entering a studio space and greeting two beautiful women with open arms. He’s prepping himself to go in front of the camera, but we soon find out that this is no ordinary clip when the green screen changes to a spaceship going to outer space.


The spaceship gets hit by an asteroid and the MC is sent back to the green screen. He’s visibly inebriated or hallucinating, attempting to pull it together instead of literally “actin crazy.” He imagines a bench on the set as a fire-breathing bird and a sea creature with ray guns for eyes. After that, a guy in a dinosaur costume appears on the set with a basketball and checks the bearded rapper, who goes back to La La Land in his head, knocking the poor guy over and delivering a Space Jam-worthy dunk that Hugh Hefner would definitely approve of.


This video is one of the more original efforts in recent memory and does the addictive Noah “40″ Shebib-produced banger justice with a deserving visual experience.

Kanye West's Apology Tweets Turned Into Spoof on 'SNL' [VIDEO]


Kanye West’s recent apologetic tweets to Beck and Bruno Mars were spoofed on Saturday Night Live over the weekend. The rapper-producer has been on an apology tour recently and SNL decided to joke about it during their “Weekend Update” segment.


Comedian Jay Pharoah played West, who visits the newscast to officially apologize to all of the people he offended. Yeezy told Colin Jost that his apology is on the level of Jesus.


He then performs an impromptu song to make amends for his wrong. West flipped his “Good Morning” song into “I’m Sorry” and apologizes for a variety of things, including thinking that the Oscar-winning song “Glory” was a song about him.


It’s an amusing skit, but the joke loses steam after West’s first round of apologies. We get it, he’s sorry.


But here’s something that’s not a joke. West recently announced the title of his upcoming album. The “All Day” rapper is calling his seventh solo album So Help Me God. The cover art boasts a 13th Century monastic symbol for the Virgin Mary, according to a conspiracy theory website.


There’s no official release date for the album yet because, as West said in previous interviews, release dates are played out.

Asics Gel Lyte III Okayama Denim

Footpatrol

Asics keeps it crispy with this later release that features denim all the way from Japan. It’s Okayama denim to be exact, and its used in a pretty standard way for a release that is anything but dull.


As a model, the Asics Gel Lyte III can really do no wrong, but when it comes with accoutrements like this, the results are stellar. The high-grade Okayama denim almost has a camouflage feel to it and is trimmed in deep navy leather that looks super supple. Wheat-colored stitching and red accents emanate that “favorite pair of jeans” feel to a tee while hits of white add even more to the mix.


These would lay lovely beneath your selvedge jeans or anything else you pair them with and you can find your pair today at Footpatrol.
