Source: Getty Images / Getty YG  is gearing up for the release of his highly-anticipated album  Stay Dangerous , but that doesn’t mean that the Bompton native doesn’t have a little time to give back to his community. Ahead of his upcoming release, Mr. 400 made a sizable donation to help young women interested in coding have a competitive edge in the rising industry. On Wednesday, the rapper donated $150,000 to start-up company Girl Code LA, which works to develop more opportunities for female coders. TMZ   caught up with YG during the ceremony to learn more about his charitable donation. “I’m ’bout to go give this big check away to Girl Code,” he said. “I got a daughter. I’m practicing on how to be a good dad right now. This for the G Code.” Founded by entrepreneur Dez White , Girl Code LA aims to help young women build knowledge in computer science, business and software engineering. Participants also can develop career road maps through seminars, classes and hands-on training. His good deed wasn’t only about his monetary donation, though, YG also held a mentoring session with the young coders, where he discussed the importance of exploring nontraditional career paths. He also reportedly gifted all the young coders with Beats By Dre headphones. Shoutout to YG for the generosity!

“You boys all cap, I'm more Colin Kaepernick” Wait, did Madden bleep out Kap? (via @jeanclervil ) pic.twitter.com/mzQ6u0QpNb — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) August 2, 2018 Colin Kaepernick is still living the life of a blackballed free agent and now it appears his very existence has been scrubbed from the new Madden NFL ’19 as well. YG ‘s song “Big Bank” featuring Big Sean , Nicki Minaj , and 2 Chainz appears on the game’s soundtrack, but the part where Big Sean raps about the former NFL quarterback is edited out. You should hear Sean rap “Feed me to the wolves now I lead the pack and sh*t/You boys all cap, I’m more Colin Kaepernick.” Instead, Colin Kaepernick’s name is removed from the bar like it’s a curse word. Listen via the clip up top, plus Woke Twitter reacts on the flip. Thoughts?

‘X-Men: Dark Phoenix’ & ‘New Mutants’ Set To Release in 2019

Original post:

After Disney and Fox agreed to a deal that would return X-Men and Fantastic Four  properties back to Marvel Studios, rumors began floating around that Fox’s X-Men: Dark Phoenix and The  New Mutants movies might be shelved as Marvel would likely want to reboot the X-Men franchise with their own cast. Truth be told after the fracas that was X-Men: Apocalypse that would’ve been a welcomed direction and word is that aside from Ryan Renolds’  Deadpool, everyone was getting replaced. And yes, that includes Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you view the situation) both the Dark Phoenix and New Mutant films are slated to drop in 2019 per the IMAX quarterly earnings report which lets investors know which films are going to be releasing. Originally set to drop on November 2, 2018, X-Men: Dark Phoenix now has a release date of February 14, 2019 while The New Mutants has been moved from February 22, 2019 to August 2, 2019. While the possibility still remains that Marvel will decide to shelve the projects in order to start with a clean slate going into Phase 4 of their post- Infinty War Marvel Cinematic Universe, it seems like we may in fact get to see if writer/director Simon Kinberg will be able to correct the trainwreck that was his original Dark Phoenix storyline in 2006’s  X-Men: The Last Stand . For the record, we’re not too optimistic. Are you interested in seeing X-Men: Dark Phoenix after witnessing what Apocalypse was or are you hoping Marvel completely reboots the franchise? Let us know in the comments below. — Photo: FOX
