You Can’t Stump Travis Scott In A Jamba Juice Taste Test Travis Scott is making his first appearance as the musical guest for Saturday Night Live this weekend, so in preparation for his highly-anticipated performances, it was a no-brainer that the rapper had to stop by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon . If you’re a fan of Travis Scott–or even if you’re not and you’ve just listened to the radio at all within the last couple months–you’re familiar with his track “Sicko Mode.” On the song, the Houston rapper has some lines about Jamba Juice which Fallon brought attention to during the interview. Here are the lyrics in question: “Now it’s 4 AM and I’m back up poppin’ with the crew I just landed in, Chase B mix this pop like Jamba Juice Different colored chains, think my jeweler really sellin’ fruits” Travis admits that his girl Kylie Jenner is a huge fan of the smoothie giant, and turned him onto their drinks once they got together. Here’s where the fun comes in: Jimmy suggests that since Scott claims to be such a big fan of the drinks, they should do a taste test to see how well he really knows them–to which Travis obliges. The host places 3 cups on the table all numbered from 1 to 3. One-by-one, he passes Travis the drinks for him to identify without knowing what’s actually in them. If you didn’t expect the rapper to be good at identifying unknown Jamba Juice flavors, you’re in for a huge surprise. And when the show ups the ante with two separate juice flavors mixed into one concoction, you’ll be even more caught off guard. Travis also teases earlier on in his interview that he may or may not be involved in a couple sketches during his Saturday Night Live stint this weekend, and if this video is any indication, it’s going to be a great time.
Source: YouTube / Youtube This past Saturday night Lil Pump and Kanye West turned in a struggle performance for the ages when they were the musical guests on Saturday Night Live, and now the “Molly” rapper is reportedly canceling his upcoming Harvard Dropout Tour thanks to a probation violation. According to Complex , the tour dates for Pump’s highly anticipated 15-show tour have been scrapped from Live Nation ‘s website. A rep for Pump told Complex that “Due to unforeseen circumstances, Lil Pump’s Harvard Dropout Tour has been canceled. Refunds will be provided at point of purchase. We apologize for any inconvenience.” We probably should’ve seen this coming as just a few weeks ago the “Gucci Gang” rapper took to IG to tell his fans that he was going to “do a couple of months” in the bing being that his arrest in Miami violated his probation in Los Angeles. Coast to coast consequences, B. We have to admit that he doesn’t seem phased by the pending prison stint he’s set to serve. Other rappers have begged judges to spare them from sentencing them to an unwanted iron vacation. Check out Pump’s previous announcement below. — Photo: WENN
Source: NBC / Getty Kanye West appeared to be returning to his old self after announcing a move back to his hometown of Chicago and preparing a new album for the masses. As a last-minute replacement musical act for SNL ‘s 44th season opener, West turned in a performance many folks are criticizing while also rocking a MAGA hat and delivering a rant supporting President Donald Trump. New York Post reports : West, wearing a red “Make American Great Again” hat and the show’s cast standing behind him, launched into the screed off camera, but it was caught on video by comedian Chris Rock. “I wanna cry right now, black man in America, supposed to keep what you’re feeling inside right now,” he sang as he paced the stage. He continued: “The blacks want always Democrats you know it’s like the plan they did, to take the fathers out the home and put them on welfare. Does anybody know about that? That’s a Democratic plan.” Then he turned to his support of Trump. “There’s so many times I talk to like a white person about this and they say, ‘How could you like Trump? He’s racist.’ Well, if I was concerned about racism I would’ve moved out of America a long time ago.” West performed a bizarre “I Love It” set with Lil Pump, and “We Got Love” with Teyana Taylor before attempting to rock “Ghost Town” when SNL producers cut his set short. According to the reports, that’s when West launched into his rant. You can see the rant in full below. And if you must see the performances, check them out below.

Source: Josh Blanchard / FilmMagic/FilmMagic for HBO Season 3 of Insecure went by super fast! It’s hard to believe that tonight’s episode is the season finale, but it is. Tonight’s episode is a lot about introspection, which is perfect since Issa’s 30th birthday is coming up! Molly has a surprise that her girl will love. Meanwhile, Lawrence meets up with his father and talks about life, including Issa. He tells his father that all the women he has been dealing with since Issa have been too demanding and that dating for him hasn’t been easy like his and his mom’s relationship. His pops is just looking at him like… It’s a naive perspective. That point is driven home when Papa Lawrence lets him know that he and Mama Lawrence have been through some ish. “Your mom and I had matching luggage!” Welp. In other news, Issa has put her block party planning on hold because getting it together has been harder than she thought. Molly got co-lead on a major case at work. Taurean is the other lead, but Molly was shady in how she got the case in the first place (she undercut him). That is going to prompt major introspection on her part later on. Now it’s Issa day! Molly goes to pick her girl up for a day of fun and bumps into Nathan. Yes, Nathan. He has some flowers thinking he’s about to make amends but Molly shuts him down. Apparently, he has been ghost for a month and Molly tells him to go away because he’s not about to mess up Issa’s birthday. He does as he’s told for now. Molly’s surprise is taking Issa to a blackbuster night in the park. They’re watching The Last Dragon , one of Issa’s favorite movies. Lawrence came out too because it’s also one of his favorite movies. That becomes clear when they bump into each other and say lines from one of their favorite scenes. Lawrence then joins his boys, Chad and Mike ,and learns that Chad’s fiancee took him back, even after the cheating scandal. Lawrence is shocked but Chad said he had to do a lot of begging but he wasn’t trying to “do this couple shit all over again.” Plus, it’s how love works (in his mind). You see where this is going, right? Lawrence and Issa are probably not getting back together (anytime soon), but you can tell that Lawrence is reconsidering a lot of things in terms of how relationships can work. He even heads back to Issa’s blanket with her favorite snack just to wish her a happy birthday and their vibe is super cool. Issa also gets to talk to the founder of the blackbuster night, a woman she also met at Tiffany’s baby shower who obviously has similar interests. She even confirms that event planning for the love and with no real budget is no joke and inspires Issa to try to get the block party poppin’ again. Issa and Molly take it back to Issa’s place for a slumber party. Then Molly tells Issa that she ran Nathan away because she didn’t want any drama on her 30th and of course Issa is pissed because she would have rather handled that herself. Then Issa says Molly has a habit of throwing people away and being negative and that she assumes the worst in everyone. This even shows up at work. Molly assumed that Taurean was coming for her neck and canceled him out when it came to competition. Molly just sees it as this is how she has to be to get what she wants but Issa says what is she going to do at work when everyone hates her, “Because this isn’t her. This has never been her.” Then we cut to Molly at work. Molly learns that Taurean has joined another case since Molly is capable of handling it on her own. But it feels weird, and we get the sting is when she sees Taurean meet up with two other co-workers to actually work together on another case. They offer a begrudging, “Congratulations,” and look at her like… You can tell they feel some type of way, not about Molly having ambition. It’s more about Molly allowing that ambition to steamroll and isolate people. This prompts her to do some introspection and she even calls Andrew, #AsianBae, to apologize for being a jerk and she actually shows some vulnerability. We finally see Molly with her mask off. Issa links with the organizer of the blackbuster night and she has all types of knowledge about how to find partners and make the block party happen. it looks like the beginning of a nice partnership and even friendship but then in another scene, we see that same friend meet up with Lawrence for drinks. He met her at the baby shower too and this is looking like a date. That’s going to make things really awkward. Finally, Nathan meets up with Issa to apologize, talmbout he went back to Houston because he was dealing with a lot of stuff. He doesn’t know how to explain what this stuff is but he gets really down and negative and he can’t talk to people sometimes and he didn’t want to put her through that. Issa translates it to, “You ghosted me and left LA because you were in a bad mood?” But what it really seems like is that Nathan may be dealing with depression and doesn’t know how or is ashamed to communicate that. He does seem to genuinely be contrite and offers an apology. Issa expresses that she needs some time to think about some things and figure out what she wants, so she goes in her house, puts some finishing touches on her apartment and lives her best life alone. Nathan will be back though. He claims that he’s here now and hopes they can talk. They’ll talk again, but we’ll have to wait a year before we see what comes of their relationship…or lack thereof.

After performing “I Love It” with Lil Pump on Saturday Night Live , Kanye West couldn’t let the night end without pulling some sort of attention grabbing stunt. So he went in his bag of Trump tricks and decided to go on a full on Pro-Trump rant at the end of the show. He said, “There’s so many times I talk to, like, a white person about this and they say, ‘How could you like Trump? He’s racist,’. Well, uh, if I was concerned about racism I would’ve moved out of America a long time ago.” Some of the ridiculous speech occurred off air, but luckily Chris Rock who was in attendance captured some of it on his phone. You can hear the comedian saying “Oh My God” and even laughing at Kanye in the background as the rest of the crowd booed. From Chris Rock’s IG story, looks like Kanye gave a speech after NBC cut the SNL feed pic.twitter.com/mYpSxqbw9Z — Josh Billinson (@jbillinson) September 30, 2018 There’s nothing about Kanye West that surprises us anymore, besides the fact that the folks around him condone his offensive behavior. SMH.
Source: ROBYN BECK / Getty Emmy night may have given us a lot of unfunny jokes and undeserving winners, BUT it did provide Black folks with one of the funniest pre-taped skits we’ve ever seen in the show’s history. Thanks to Saturday Night Live’s news anchor and Emmy co-host Michael Che , we got a chance to see what real reparations would look like for overlooked African-American actors who deserved the coveted Emmy over the years, but never received one. “You know, as a black comedian, for so many years, our TV legends and heroes have gone unrecognized,” Che said. “So this year as host, I took it upon myself to finally right some of those wrongs.” Taking it to the block, the 35-year-old passed out the gold to overlooked folks such as T he Jeffersons ‘ Marla Gibbs . “Your role as Florence the maid is the reason I got fired form every service job I had,” Che declared. Gibbs quipped back, “Well thank you – I think.” Other Black icons, such as Jimmy Walker ( Good Times ), Kadeem Hardison ( A Different World ), Jaleel White ( Family Matters ), Tichina Arnold ( Martin ), John Witherspoon ( T he Mayans Bros. ) and people from The Wire were also included in these faux awards.

Source: Supplied by WENN.com / WENN Cardi B was recently hit with a $10 million lawsuit from her former manager Klenord “Shaft” Raphael, answering with her own $15 million countersuit . According to a new report, Shaft claims his hands-on involvement in the life and career of Cardi came as a result of him wanting to protect her from her husband and Migos rapper, Offset . Page Six reports : However, sources close to Shaft say that he was just trying to take care of the star — finding her a home, and even buying her new teeth. One said that Shaft had protected her from other vultures — including her new husband, Offset, after he charged her $50,000 for his work on her track “Lick.” According to a source, Offset first demanded $25,000 and then upped his fee, saying it was purely “business.” The source added: “Shaft taught Cardi B the ropes, even to the point of opening her first bank account, buying her new teeth, getting her an apartment and enabling her to transform [and] normalize her day-to-day life. These are not actions of someone looking to exploit or take advantage of a young artist.” This won’t be the last bit of information to come forth regarding this matter, not by a long shot. — Photo: WENN
