Nicki Minaj: Did She Leak the Nick Young Cheating Video to Piss Off Iggy Azalea?!

Yesterday, a video that appeared to show LA Lakers forward Nick Young admitting that he cheated on Iggy Azalea went instantly viral. The clip was shot by Young’s teammate D’Angelo Russell, but Russell swears that he only shot the footage as a joke and never meant for it to go public. So who’s responsible for the video that seems to have brought an end to Nick and Iggy’s engagement ? Well, according to a new report from Radar Online the answer to that question might constitute a twist worthy of the cheesiest soap opera. The website claims that Nicki Minaj sold the footage to gossip site Fameulous in order to send Iggy a message about beefing with other rappers: “Somebody from Nicki Minaj’s camp, a source, got the video and they sent it in,” an unidentified writer for Fameolous said in an interview. “They said, ‘Here put this out because Iggy want to talk mess about Nicki Minaj, put this out and let her know what her fiancé is doing.’ That’s the real story behind this…They wanted to make Iggy basically shut up.” Apparently Nicki’s reps leaked the footage in response to Iggy’s interview on Watch What Happens Live last week, in which the rapper insinuated that Minaj doesn’t write her own verses. The Nicki vs. Iggy feud began last year, but it appeared to have died down in recent months.  There’s a lesson to be learned from all of this: If you even imply that Nicki is anything less than the realest, she will burn your life to the ground . Something to keep in mind.

Dan Bilzerian Wins Multi-Million Dollar Bicycle Race Bet!

Yesterday, we reported that professional poker player/hedge fund bro Dan Bilzerian had embarked on a 300-mile bicycle ride, with the intention of pedaling from his home in LA to the Las Vegas city limits in just 48 hours. Many doubted that such a feat could be accomplished by a 35-year-old with a notoriously hedonistic lifestyle and four heart attacks in his recent past (Full disclosure: We were among the doubters.),  But to the shock of many (and the dismay of at least a few high-rollers), Bilzerian has completed his journey well ahead of schedule, having reached the famous “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign this morning. No official announcement has been made yet, but investor Bill Perkins, who bet Bilzerian $1.2 million that he couldn’t complete the trip in time posted the following tweet several hours before the deadline: “@DanBilzerian 25 miles away, controversial van removed 100ish miles out, no doubt Dan smoked this on a few drugs & adrenaline #EgoMotivation” The “controversial van” refers to a vehicle that Bilzerian had traveling in front of him in order to create a slipstream. The divisive “King of Instagram” also traveled with a masseuse, two chefs, a team of medical professionals and a full police escort. In addition to his wager with Perkins, Bilzerian reportedly had more than $1 million in side-bets on the line. If he had died on the road (a legitimate possibility due to his aforementioned health issues), Bilzerian’s private jet would’ve been handed over to entrepreneur and Paris Hilton sex tape star Rick Salomon.  Bilzerian – who claims he hadn’t been on a bike for nearly two decades prior to accepting the challenge – trained for several weeks with cycling legend Lance Armstrong in exchange for making a $25,000 donation to the charity of Armstrong’s choice. So if you’re considering attempting such a stunt yourself, remember that you probably can’t afford a team like Bilzerian’s – or the millions in bets that no doubt helped inspire him to reach the finish line.

Kanye West Accused of STEALING Jacket Design for Yeezy!

Kanye West once claimed he was OG, but it seems his designs are not. Photographer Jim Goldberg is accusing the rapper of ripping off a denim jacket that belonged to Tweeky Dave, a homeless, drug-addicted teen who was the subject of a book Goldberg published in 1995 entitled Raised By Wolves . The jacket in question is being sold for $400 at Kanye’s pop-up shop in Manhattan and features handwritten messages that appear to have been penned in permanent marker all over the front, back and sleeves.  Goldberg included an iconic photo of Dave’s jacket in the book, and Kanye wore a replica of the garment at New York Fashion Week in February. Both the original jacket (seen above on the left) and the one Kanye wore notably displayed the words “F**k off and die” in bold print underneath the back collar. The piece Kanye wore was designed by Australian artist Pauly Bonomelli, who credited Goldberg and the now-deceased Dave for his design inspiration.  However, when Kanye released similar jackets as part of his line, no credit was given. Goldberg, who now owns Dave’s original jacket, expressed his frustration with Yeezy in an interview with i-D magazine. “For the jacket to become sold as fashion – it really put me over the edge,” he said. “The spirit and intention of Kanye could be right, but the manner in which he is presenting it is wrong,” he added. “All meaning has been lost. [He’s] forgetting history – not acknowledging where that design came from is wrong.” The photographer drove the point home even further when he shared a pic of the Yeezy replicas on a rack to Instagram. “Tweeky Dave would be rolling over in his grave #yeezy #pablo #tlop,” he wrote in the caption.
