New Orleans rapper Brian Williams, a.k.a. Birdman, appeared to fall asleep on stage during a Hot Boys concert recently.

Undated cell phone video shows the 56-year-old rapper appearing to nod off while standing on stage.

Birdman stood motionless while Turk and B.G. performed.

B.G. eventually walked over to him and wiped the drool off the front of Birdman’s black leather jacket.

Fans took to social media to express their concern over the shocking video.

Some fans speculated that Birdman was on drugs. While others said he appeared to suffer a stroke on stage. It isn’t clear if Birdman is vaccinated.

Birdman co-founded Cash Money Records with his older brother, Ronald “Slim” Williams, in New Orleans in 1991.

Birdman was also a member of the hip-hop duo Big Tymers with producer Mannie Fresh, as well as the supergroup Cash Money Millionaires.

In 2006, he released the album, Like Father, Like Son, featuring rapper Lil Wayne.

An image taken during a photo shoot showed Lil Wayne kissing Birdman on the lips. The photo sparked rumors that the two men were gay, but they both denied the rumors.

Birdman dated R&B singer Toni Braxton from 2016 until 2022.

Tamera Mowry-Housley’s former personal trainer spilled the beans about the actress in a viral video on TikTok. The trainer, who goes by the username @mob.daughter, says Tamera is just like her husband, former Fox News reporter Adam Housley.

Adam went viral on February 18 when he commented on Black parents using food stamps to buy junk food for their children while buying alcohol and cigarettes for themselves.

In a post on X (Twitter), Housley wrote: “As a kid who grew up in neighborhood grocery stores since I was 5, I can’t tell you how many times I saw people come in and buy crap food for their kids with food stamps, then open the wallet and use cash for liquor, beer, wine and cigarettes.”

He continued: “Then there were those who would repeatedly buy a lemon or lime, get the change, walk out the door throw them away and do it again. Until they had enough change to buy cigarettes or alcohol. As a kid it pissed me off because there are some people who could really use the help and then there are these others working the system.”

While most of Adam’s followers agreed that something needs to be done, others called him “MAGA”, racist and an elitist.

According to @mob.daughter, Tamera and Adam are like peas in a pod.

@Mob.daughter says she was Tamera’s trainer for 3.5 years. “I fixed a lot of her spine issues,” she said. “But here’s the long story short – yes, there is a lot I can expose, a lot I could share. But at the end of the day, I gave it to God and I walked away from her…”

@Mob.daughter went on to say that Tamera “agrees with everything with Adam, and she is not who she shows herself to be. I wish she could just be honest about it.”

Now we know why Tamera and Tia are no longer close with each other.

@mob.daughter I wanted to come out with receipts, but I prayed on it. Had a beautiful meditation today with my group and I’ve given it to God for many years and I am writing a book and I do have a podcast coming out and no I’m not trying to advertise myself and if you think I’m doing this for clout, that’s OK too. I’ve been hurt from the very beginning of my life And these people will never break me, but there’s so much about the entertainment world that you guys don’t know and we are trainers/handler/psychologist/spiritual coaches/basically we have to work on our hands and knees for these people they have us signing contracts or basically giving them our blood, but I was just excited to see finally some justice of being served this year And don’t worry guys I promise I will share more, but I’m doing it with dignity. #tameramowry #adamhousley #fake ? take a moment to breathe. – normal the kid

GOP frustration at Elon Musk spills over during closed-door meeting

Fox News Digital reports that Republicans are fed up with non-elected official Elon Musk running amok in Washington, DC.

House Republicans are frustrated with Musk’s unlimited power in the federal government. Tempers flared during a closed-door meeting on Tuesday, Fox News reported.

Musk made headlines over the weekend when he sent email requests for federal workers to list five things they accomplished last week.

The emails were sent Saturday afternoon from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) with the subject line “What did you do last week?” The deadline given was 11:59 p.m. EST Monday. Failure to reply would be “taken as resignation,” Musk tweeted on X.

Newly installed FBI Director Kash Patel undermined Musk by advising workers not to respond to the emails.

Patel, who was sworn in on Friday, instructed his FBI staff to “pause any responses” to the email inquiries, Patel emphasized that the agency maintains control over its internal review processes.

On Monday, Musk hinted that the emails were a joke to ensure federal employees “had a pulse” and that they were “capable of responding” to his emails. But later, he doubled down on the inquiries, saying federal workers were getting a second chance to respond before losing their jobs.

House Republicans are fed up with Musk’s shenanigans.

Rep. Austin Scott, R-Ga., raised concerns about Republican lawmakers not being on the “same page” as the White House and Musk’s DOGE, three people in the room told Fox News Digital.

“He wants to see better communication between DOGE, the president, and the House, because we’re getting fed to the wolves, while Elon’s just tweeting,” one GOP lawmaker told Fox News Digital.

Scott questioned Musk’s tweet referring to laid off workers as “parasites”.

“DOGE’s recent requests for federal employees should have been coordinated with the agencies before they were issued,” Scott said. “I fully support those agencies working with DOGE to improve efficiency and eliminate tax dollar waste. With that being said, referring to Americans who may need government assistance as ‘parasites’ is unacceptable in any circumstance.”

“It’s not how most normal good bosses would lay off somebody,” a third House Republican told Fox News Digital. “Some of them may be bad, but most of them are good. Treat them like Americans.”

Cardi B and blogger Tasha K have agreed to a $1.2 million settlement to end their contentious defamation lawsuit.

In 2022, the rapper won a $4 million default judgment against the popular YouTuber for defamation.

On February 24, Cardi B and Tasha K reached a $1.2 million settlement. According to the terms of the settlement, reviewed by Rolling Stone, Tasha K will pay Cardi B $1.178 million over the next 5 years.

Tasha will pay Cardi $176,532 annually, with the yearly amount escalating until the total settlement is paid off.

If Tasha K misses any payments, Cardi B can pursue the original $4 million default judgment in court.

Additionally, Tasha K, real name Latasha Kebe, agreed to refrain from saying or publishing anything “derogatory, disparaging, or defamatory” about the rapper.

“Today marks the end of a multi-year long chapter of lies, deception, and fraudulent conveyance on the part of Tasha K, her husband, and their entities. We are thrilled to put in place such an incredibly unprecedented and protective plan for Cardi,” the rapper’s lawyer Lisa Moore said in a statement to Rolling Stone.

“Ms. Kebe obtained terms that structured the repayment of a portion of the defamation judgment and for other general unsecured creditors over five years,” the statement reads. “In line with the confirmed plan, the unsecured creditors will receive approximately 30.1% of their allowed claims. By reaching this agreement, all parties can avoid prolonged litigation—fulfilling bankruptcy’s essential purpose. This resolution also enables Ms. Kebe to focus on her work while repaying creditors in an organized manner.”

Rumors are swirling online that Kourtney Kardashian is a grandmother at age 45. Kourtney’s 15-year-old son, Mason, is allegedly a teenage dad.

Mason is seen towering over his mom and his little sister, Penelope, 12, during a family outing on Nov. 19, 2024. Mason and Penelope are Kourtney’s children with male socialite Scott Disick.

Kourtney also has 2 sons named Reign, 10, and Rocky, 1.

According to a user on Kardashian subreddit, Mason has a private Instagram account that he uses to chat with friends in his inner circle. Mason allegedly responded to a friend that he has a 1-year-old daughter named Piper.

BACKGRID

Mason allegedly said he did not want the child, and that the teenage mother of his child was in his art class. He allegedly called the child “a failed protection” – meaning the condom broke.

Remember, all of this is alleged.

The user attached screenshots of Mason’s location, which shows Kourtney’s house in Calabasas. And Mason allegedly posted a photo of his alleged baby girl.

The Mega Agency / BACKGRID

Here is a throwback photo of Mason as a child with his father, Scott, in November 2021. Scott allegedly is unhappy that his eldest child is sexually active.

The user continued:

“Now this may seem like a fake account but he has shared his location there which corresponded with the Calabasas house, shared private messages between him and R€ign (the youngest of the three children from Sc0tt and K0urtney’s relationship), some pictures of him with his friends and also his weed and alcohol stash. He claims that he deletes his acc when he is with K0urtney and that he is not happy with his parents and with the way his father regularly talks about him being sexµally active.

This was first posted on the Kuwtksnark subreddit but was quickly deleted but it does seem very credible knowing this family.”

Don Lemon blasts ‘racist’ Megyn Kelly for celebrating Joy Reid’s cancellation

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon lashed out at former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly for her “racist” tirade about Joy Reid.

Kelly celebrated after MSNBC canceled Reid’s show “The ReidOut” on Sunday. Reid appeared in her final episode on Monday night.

Kelly said she was “thrilled” and “absolutely delighted” that Reid was out at MSNBC. “But we won’t have her to kick around anymore, there’s a little sadness in that.”

“She literally was the most racist person on television, her and her most favorite guest, Elie Mystal, so they deserve 100% both to be fired,” Kelly said.

“This is one of the many reasons why most of us are absolutely delighted to see her get fired from this show… We’ll miss her a little I guess…?” Kelly added.

Kelly went on to say that MSNBC employs “among the dumbest people” and that Reid “appears to have been the dumbest and the worst-rated.”

Don Lemon clapped back at Kelly, calling her a “racist”, “troll”, and a “hater” on Monday’s episode of his podcast.

“So let me just say to Megyn Kelly – in my thirty-some years as a journalist and my fifty-some years as a person of color – go f*** yourself!”

“Let’s talk about the haters,” Lemon said, while taking a sip from an oversized “Megyn Kelly Today” mug.

Lemon said he usually doesn’t like to talk about Kelly, because “she’s one of those people,” who “thrives… on being a troll.”

He claimed that Kelly’s PR team boosts clips of her with the phrase “Megyn Kelly calls out,” which he said is a “right-wing marketing tactic” for media personalities.

“I don’t want to be one of those people whose Google profile begins with ‘Don Lemon Calls Out.’ It’s gauche, it’s unseemly, and it’s beneath me, and it should be beneath her.”

He said Kelly’s rant about Reid proves that she’s anti-Black female and racist.

“And she has, you know, she has an axe to grind when it comes to MSNBC. And also, you know… this whole – she’s racist, right?” Lemon said. “I’m gonna give you the evidence. Supposedly learned from and then spent every day after apologizing for it and being fired for it, then spent every day proving the point that she is a racist. And not very supportive of women, if you look, all you have to do, the evidence is in her Google search and what she says about women, and how she calls them out all the time,” Lemon added.

He concluded, “The worst person? No, Megyn Kelly! The worst person on television was fired from NBC and The Today Show a few years ago, and that’s Megyn Kelly. That’s the worst person who’s not on television anymore — is you. That’s the worst person who’s not on television. So hurrah for that, NBC did something good for with that.”

According to a report, rapper A$AP Rocky cheated on his longtime girlfriend Rihanna with Asian Doll.

Asian Doll is an aspiring rapper who is best known for dating deceased Chicago gangster rapper King Von.

According to MTO News, A$AP is now at the center of a cheating scandal after aspiring rapper Summer Bunni dropped a bombshell accusation during an online feud with Asian Doll, 28.

Bunni said, “Hey Rihanna, you know Asian was fing on A$AP Rocky, right?”

According to Summer Bunni, Asian Doll (pictured) has allegedly been hooking up with A$AP Rocky behind Rihanna’s back.

That’s bad news for all parties involved. Rihanna’s industry connections run deep, and she can end Asian Doll’s career before it can get off the ground.

RiRi can also end A$AP’s career if this rumor turns out to be true.

Rihanna, 37, played the dutiful common-law wife when A$AP, 36, was on trial for firearm assault. He was acquitted on all counts in Los Angeles on Feb. 18.

Rihanna and A$AP share 2 sons, RZA, 2, and Riot Rose, 1.

Social media users shared their thoughts on the bombshell news:

One Twitter user wrote: “Ain’t no way A$AP Rocky is dumb enough to cheat on RIHANNA. Y’all need to stop playing with her name.”

Another person wrote: “If A$AP cheated, Rihanna might have to call Drake back just to be petty.”

A third fan wrote: “If this is true, Rocky fumbled the biggest bag in history.”

Coca-Cola Supports DEI, Stating It’s ‘Good For Our Business’

The Coca-Cola Company is not complying with President Donald Trump’s anti-DEI executive order. The Atlanta-based corporate giant announced they are keeping diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in the workplace because DEI is “good for our business.”

After Trump was sworn-in on Jan. 20, he signed an executive order banning DEI in government agencies and he fired hundreds of DEI employees.

However, in its annual report, Coca-Cola confirmed its commitment to keeping DEI policies in place.

“Our diverse, high-performing global employee base helps drive a culture of inclusion, innovation, and growth,” the company’s annual report read.

“We aspire to develop a global workforce with diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds that reflect the broad range of consumers and markets we serve around the world.”

Coca-Cola said that a lack of DEI policies would make the company “unable to attract or retain specialized talent or top talent with diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds.”

By 2030, Coke plans to have women in 50% of senior leadership roles and guarantee both racial and ethnic representation remain high at all levels of its workforce within the United States.

Coke participated in the celebration of Black women by sponsoring the 2024 Essence Fest in New Orleans and during Black History Month 2025. Coca-Cola recognized rising Black golf stars from HBCUs at the United Golfers Association (UGA) Invitational in Florida.

Rachel Maddow suggests MSNBC is racist for firing Joy Reid. ‘I think it is a bad mistake’

MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow suggested that her bosses at the network might be racist for firing Black anchors, including Joy Reid.

Reid, 56, appeared in her final episode of “The ReidOut” on MSNBC on Monday night. She went IN on Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which she suggested is a made up federal agency.

Reid signed off on her final show Monday night by thanking her viewers for their support.

Maddow is among thousands of Reid’s supporters who are saddened to see her leave.

“There is no colleague for whom I have had more affection and more respect than Joy Reid,” Maddow said on “The Rachel Maddow Show” after Reid’s final episode aired on Monday night. “I love everything about her, I have learned so much from her. I have so much more to learn from her,” Maddow continued.

“I do not want to lose [Reid] as a colleague here at MSNBC, and personally I think it is a bad mistake to let her walk out the door,” Maddow added.

Maddow, 51, then hinted that it was racist for her bosses to fire “non-white hosts” at the network.

“I will tell you it is also unnerving to see that on a network where we’ve got two – count ’em – two non-white hosts in primetime, both of our non-white hosts in primetime are losing their shows,” Maddow said.

She continued: “That feels indefensible, and I do not defend it.”

In addition to Reid, left-wing anchors Jonathan Capehart, who is Black, and Katie Phang, who is Asian, lost their programs on MSNBC on Monday.

Egyptian-born Ayman Mohyeldin’s show was also canceled, but he will remain at MSNBC. Mohyeldin was previously the anchor of Ayman Mohyeldin Reports, and he currently hosts Ayman on weekend evenings on MSNBC.

Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles have not declined White House visit

The Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles did not reject an invitation to the White House, according to a report.

The Eagles upset the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59 on Feb. 9.

The team was not formally invited to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl 2025 win, according to a report in The Philadelphia Inquirer.

A source told the Inquirer that the team did not receive an invitation from President Donald Trump, despite reports that the Eagles would skip the visit.

The information conflicts with the U.S. Sun’s report that claimed the Eagles had already rejected a visit, even before playing in the Super Bowl.

Outkick.com founder Clay Travis wrote in a post on X on Monday: “White House source: the Philadelphia Eagles have not rejected a White House invite. The reports that have gone viral on social media are fake news. The White House has not even sent the official invite to the Eagles yet.”

Additionally, an NFL source told Front Office Sports that the team will accept the invitation — once it is extended.

The Eagles have a history of snubbing President Donald Trump. They cancelled a visit to the White House after their upset victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 52.

In 2018, the NFL announced a league-wide rule against kneeling during the national anthem. Trump slammed the football players — and other athletes — for kneeling during sports events.

“The Philadelphia Eagles are unable to come to the White House with their full team to be celebrated tomorrow,” Trump said at the time in June 2018. “They disagree with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country.”

Trump suggested that the Eagles wanted to send a “smaller delegation,” to the White House, but he declined.

“The Eagles wanted to send a smaller delegation, but the 1,000 fans planning to attend the event deserve better,” Trump said in June 2018. “These fans are still invited to the White House to be part of a different type of ceremony — one that will honor our great country, pay tribute to the heroes who fight to protect it, and loudly and proudly play the National Anthem. I will be there at 3:00 p.m. with the United States Marine Band and the United States Army Chorus to celebrate America.”

Trump left Super Bowl 59 early when it was obvious that the Eagles would win over the Chiefs in a blowout on Feb. 9. Trump had picked the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl over the Eagles.
