J. Cole’s Manager Shoots Down Rumor Rapper Caught The Fade In Africa

Original post:

Source: Jeff Hahne / Getty Last night a video of J. Cole getting jumped while in Africa began circulating the web and while it looked like Cole ended up taking a big L back to his hotel room with him, it turns out he didn’t. How you ask? Well, he wasn’t the man in the video. At least that’s what his manager Ibrahim H. is claiming. After the video caught fire and burned through social media pages, Ibrahim took to Twitter to officially state “that’s not Cole” and was questioning whether the notion about Cole catching a beatdown was supposed to be a joke altogether. Huh?? bro that’s not Cole. I’m assuming the original post was suppose to be a joke. — Ibrahim H. (@KingOfQueenz) March 25, 2019 He then admitted that he too almost thought it was his rap star client but again stated it was just a lookalike. Man y’all gotta stop hitting my mentions about this video of that Cole look alike getting punched . I cant front though I had to do a double take too when I first saw it nigga Cole stay with look a likes all across the world. — Ibrahim H. (@KingOfQueenz) March 25, 2019 Well, we have to admit we kinda thought that was J. Cole too and he was even wearing the same kind of gear he got clowned for in that GQ spread. But we’re glad to learn that it was just some random dude who looked like your favorite rapper that went double platinum without any features. Check out the video below for yourself and let us know if you thought this was J. Cole when you first peeped it.

Shaqtrepreneur Strikes Again: Shaq Just Signed An $8.25 Million Deal With Papa John’s To Join Their Board Of Directors

Source: Judy Eddy/WENN.com / WENN Shaq Is Now A Member Of Papa John’s Board Of Directors Is there ANYTHING Shaq can’t do?! In the midst of all their current business struggles, Papa John’s has found its next spokesman: Shaquille O’Neal–But he’s going to be doing a lot more than just selling a few pizzas. The Hall-of-Famer will also be joining Papa John’s board of directors, investing in nine Papa John’s stores in Atlanta, and becoming an ambassador for the brand in advertisements. The company is paying Shaq a hefty $8.25 million over three years for the endorsement deal. Time for a pizza party! I’m excited to join @PapaJohns as a member of the Board of Directors and investor in 9 stores in #Atlanta . Excited to work with Papa John’s team members and customers – more here: https://t.co/PRXG7ORtFk pic.twitter.com/c5uj5BRuQ1 — SHAQ (@SHAQ) March 22, 2019 “Shaquille has an excellent entrepreneurial background, including as a restaurant franchise owner, and is a natural creative marketer,” said Jeff Smith, chairman of Papa John’s board of directors. The former NBA baller also has extensive experience in the food business. He owns a Krispy Kreme Doughnuts franchise in Atlanta, a Big Chicken fast casual fried chicken joint in Las Vegas, and Shaquille’s restaurant in Los Angeles. Having Shaq on their team is a big move for Papa John’s, whose sales have declined for five straight quarters. The company first reported a slowdown in October 2017, when its founder John Schnatter blamed on the NFL’s handling of player protests . Schnatter  stepped down as CEO two months after the comments , which sparked a backlash and marked the beginning of the company’s rough patch. Will having Shaq in their advertisements or on their board of directors sway you to try some Papa John’s pizza any time in the future?!

All About Me: Twitter Is STILL Dragging Nene For Making Eva’s Wedding All About Her…Is It Fair?!

Source: Bravo / Getty Nene Stealing Eva’s Shine? This week’s episode of Real Housewives Of Atlanta was supposed to be all about Eva. It was her marriage, her glorious moment with her boo and his tremendous vows . However, so much of the episode was focused on Nene and her problems with her marriage. She was complaining and said about her seemingly impending divorce from Gregg. However, just yesterday she denied that there was any divorce happening at all. So was this all for attention? Was this all for ratings? Bravo is catching a ton of flack as well for their part in the whole situation as they were splicing images of Nene’s wedding with Eva’s, making the episode as much about Nene as the woman of the hour. Word? So who is to blame? Wait Eva’s wedding wasn’t the season finale and she had to share her spotlight with Nene’s drama… #RHOA pic.twitter.com/XVwDVv4DhD — Epiphany (@MyEpiphanyB) March 18, 2019 Twitter is dragging everyone and it’s petty as hell. Take a look.

Congrats: Nick Young Announces That He’s Got A 3rd Swaggy P Seed On The Way

Source: Icon Sportswire / Getty Nick Young Reveals That He’s Got Another Baby On The Way On Monday night, former Warriors player Nick Young announced that he’s expecting his third child with his longtime girlfriend Keonna Green. “Num 3 is on the way … I knew being at home this would happen lol,” the baller tweeted out. Young has indeed had more time to spend with his family recently after the Denver Nuggets waived the point guard after just four games back in December. Num 3 is on the way … I knew being at home this would happen lol — Nick Young (@NickSwagyPYoung) March 19, 2019 Nick and Keonna have been in an on-and-off relationship since their high school days and already have two children together, six-month-old Navi Young and Nick Young Jr, who just turned seven. Keonna talked about her relationship with Nick in an interview with Essence , saying, “Me and Nick have lots of history. We’ve been in and out of each other’s lives and we’ve dated other people, we have still always managed to keep in touch. It’s something that no one will be able to understand. We don’t even really understand. We’re just like, ‘You know what, we have these kids. You know, we are friends.’ We share each other’s deepest, darkest secrets. We talk a lot. We have that type of friendship.” The announcement of baby number three came as a surprise to many fans, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t in the plans all along. The couple revealed earlier in the month that they wanted another child when their family attended the premier of Captain Marvel and Nick said he wanted “one more.” Congrats to the happy family on their new addition!

Dirty Dog AND Deadbeat Dad?!?! Khloé Kardashian Seeking Sole Kustody After “Infant Allergic” Tristan Thompson Abandons All Daddy Duties

Source: SPW / Splash News Khloé Kardashian Disappointed Tristan Hasn’t Spent Time With Daughter Remember when Jordy Craig was complaining about Tristan Thompson never spending time with his son Prince? Well now it seems that 11-month-old True is getting similar treatment and Khloé Kardashian has been left deeply disappointed over his behavior. According to PEOPLE reports , Tristan celebrated his 34th birthday Wednesday but spent zero time with his daughter on his special day: “Just in general, he isn’t spending much time with his daughter. It’s very upsetting to Khloé. To her, True is the most important person ever. It’s very difficult for her to understand how Tristan isn’t willing to make more of an effort to spend time with True,” says the source. “It saddens her that True doesn’t have a very close relationship with Tristan. Khloé has always done everything she can to encourage Tristan to spend time with his daughter,” the source adds. “She just doesn’t understand it. It’s very disappointing to her.” But Thompson’s behavior could have dire consequences. Hollywood Life reports that Khloé is working to gain sole custody of her daughter with the basketball star: “Khloe worries about her daughter’s future and is prepared to fight to maintain custody of her only child,” a source close to the Kardashian family EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife. “Khloe is in close contact with her family attorney to insure that she will never lose custody of True to Tristan, should he decide to take her to court. While Khloe is financially secure, she has also discussed child support with her attorney, she is making sure all her bases are covered and that everything dealing with True and Tristan is fair and equitable.” Although Khloe still wants Tristan to father True through regular visits, she feels sole custody would ensure she’s always the primary person in True’s everyday life, which she already thoroughly enjoys. “The best part of Khloe’s day is singing her daughter to sleep every night and she would be heartbroken if that was ever taken away from her,” the source continued. “So Khloe is working closely with her attorneys to make sure that Tristan has fair visitation rights but that sole custody remains firmly with her.” Do you think Tristan will even care? Hit the flip for adorable shots of True
