Source: Frazer Harrison / Getty Via | HotNewHipHop Hart thinks he was attacked. Kevin Hart famously stepped down from hosting the 2019 Oscars after old Tweets were rediscovered where he used homophobic terms. Hart, like most comedians, has used disparaging terms for many different races, genders, cultures, and sexualities within his jokes. Political correctness threatens the art form of comedy, and Hart was just the most recent example of how trolls will use old social media posts to tear down celebrities. Hart recently sat down with Ellen Degeneres, and spoke in depth about the entire scandal. READ MORE

K anye West and Kim Kardashian are expecting their fourth child. However, all the 41-year-old rapper can tweet about is Donald Trump . SEE ALSO: Some No Name, Pitchy R&B Singer Disrespected Keith Sweat And Gets Demolished On Twitter The news about the baby was confirmed to People.com . The couple has three other kids: Chicago , 11 months, Saint , 3, and North , 5. You would think Kanye would focus on being a new dad or his music—as he promised he would—but instead, he is tweeting about Trump and the Make America Great Again hat. Just yesterday, he wrote on Twitter, “One of my favorite of many things about what the Trump hat represents to me is that people can’t tell me what to do because I’m black.” As if Kanye, who is a “proud non-reader of books” ever listened to anyone because he is Black. One of my favorite of many things about what the Trump hat represents to me is that people can’t tell me what to do because I’m black — ye (@kanyewest) January 1, 2019 He also wrote, “From now on I’m performing with my mutherfucking hat on.” From now on I’m performing with my mutherfucking hat on — ye (@kanyewest) January 1, 2019 Let’s not forget, back in August , he apologized for the hateful hat, which is a clear call to white supremacy. Kanye said, “I don’t know if I properly apologized for how the slavery comment made people feel. I’m sorry for the one-two effect of the MAGA hat into the slave comment, and I’m sorry for people that felt let down by that moment. And I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to talk to you about the way I was thinking and what I was going through.” Clearly, there isn’t a sincere bone in Kanye’s body. Kanye also said he did a podcast with Joe Rogan , one of those conservative commentators who is tired of people thinking “ everything is racist .” SEE ALSO: All The Ways Cops Are Still Trying To Cover Up LaQuan McDonald’s Execution Outrageous!

Back in November, Harris County elected all 19 African-American female judges running for positions in the courts. While two of the judges were re-elected to their positions, the other 17 have been sworn in today . The even better part? All 17 brand new judges in the Harris County courts have over 200 years of experience between them. RELATED: History! 19 Black Female Judges All Elected In Harris County Judge Erica Hughes was so excited, she laid out her clothes like it was the first day of school. Fellow judge Angela Graves-Harrington said, “I also wanted to serve as an inspiration for all those people who wondered if they could. Yes you can.” Hughes added that her first focus is those who are already behind bars, in jail because they’re unable to pay bail or get an attorney. “Most of the offenses are low-level offenses and we’ve done research. I’ve looked at research that people need to have rehabilitation,” Hughes said. Join The Majic Text Club And Get The Latest Music, Exclusive Contests and Entertainment News On Your Phone.

Source: Apega/WENN.com / WENN LeBron James is pretty much Teflon when it comes to controversies off the court, but a pair of recent instances have put him in the crosshairs of critics chomping at the bit. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar slammed NFL owners in a recent episode of his HBO show The Shop, and the sharing of a questionable 21 Savage lyric had him later apologizing for the act. Deadline reports : Speaking with business partner Maverick Carter Friday on his HBO Sports series The Shop, with guest stars Todd Gurley of the Los Angeles Rams and rapper/actor Ice Cube, the Los Angeles Lakers forward called NFL owners “old white men” who, he said, acted like slave masters. “In the NFL they got a bunch of old white men owning teams and they got that slave mentality,” James said in the conversation. “And it’s like, ‘This is my team. You do what the f— I tell y’all to do. Or we get rid of y’all.’” James then said it was the players who made the league, not the league making the players. “The players are who make the ship go,” James said. “Every Sunday, without Todd Gurley and without Odell Beckham Jr., without those players, those guys, there is no football. And it’s the same in the NBA.” Sports Business writer Darren Rovell shared a tweet out of LeBron James rapping the lyrics of 21 Savage’s “ASMR” track, which prompted a flurry of chatter criticizing James for doing so although there were some who didn’t think he was taking the anti-Semitism route. However, James told ESPN that he truly didn’t mean to offend anyone by sharing out the song. “Apologies, for sure, if I offended anyone,” James said to ESPN after his squad lost 107-99 to the Memphis Grizzlies. “That’s not why I chose to share that lyric. I always [post lyrics]. That’s what I do. I ride in my car, I listen to great music, and that was the byproduct of it. So I actually thought it was a compliment, and obviously, it wasn’t through the lens of a lot of people. My apologies. It definitely was not the intent, obviously, to hurt anybody.” Surprised LeBron, who makes very few mistakes, put this out. Does quoting lyrics from a song absolve the person quoting from the responsibility behind the words? I’d argue no, especially with a following of 45 million. pic.twitter.com/efv9gkXres — Darren Rovell (@darrenrovell) December 23, 2018 — Photo: WENN

Some of his counterparts aren’t too happy with his decision, but he will certainly help bring an edge to an otherwise bland performance lineup. Rappers like Meek Mill have expressed on twitter that Travis doesn’t need this performance, hoping that he drops out. But, if he does perform, we know he’s going to steal the show! Travis was recently nominated for a Grammy for best rap performance and best rap song. He also spent a week at #1 on Billboards Hot 100. Should Travis perform at the Super Bowl LIII halftime show?
