Joe Budden shared his opinion on the hotly contested race between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese for Rookie of the Year.

The former rapper said Clark is a “helluva lot better than Angeel Reese.”

During his podcast on Wednesday, Budden said, “I have seen footage of Caitlin Clark now and I’ve seen footage of Angel Reese. I’m as pro-Black as all the pro-Black people — and I’m not trying to cause a kerfuffle — Caitlin Clark is a helluva lot better than Angel Reese.”

Budden is not impressed by Reese’s rebounding spree.

He also questions why the two ladies are constantly compared when they both play separate positions.

“In no world did they ever compare Dennis Rodman’s rebounding a*s with [Michael] Jordan. They never did that. Nobody ever said Ben Wallace could give Michael Jordan a run for his money.”

Budden continued: “I’m telling y’all that Caitlin Clark — if we’re talking ’bout a basketball — she had enough of you Olympic h*es! She has been on an absolute warpath since y’all left her off the Olympics. And I’m not gon’ just ignore it ’cause she’s white. She is smokin’ you b*tches out there!”

Clark and the Indiana Fever upset the No. 2 ranked Connecticut Sun 84-80 in front of a sold-out crowd on Wednesday in Indiana.

Clark set a record for most three-pointers by a rookie in a season (86).

Among the celebrities in the house were Olympic gold medalists Simone Biles and Gabby Thomas. The ladies posed for photos with the Fever players after the game.

Meanwhile, Reese and the Chicago Sky fell to the Washington Mystics 74-70 on Wednesday. The Chicago Sky is 1-5 with 4 straight losses since the Olympic break. The Indiana Fever are 5-1 since the break.

After the game, Reese promoted her new podcast “Unapologetically Angel.”

As usual, Reese is too focused on her brand to get why Sky fans are so upset with her.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Tyga Named in $4M RICO Lawsuit

A Miami jeweler claims Floyd Mayweather Jr. and rapper Tyga owe him nearly $4 million for luxury watches and diamond jewelry.

Floyd and Tyga are both named in a RICO lawsuit that alleges they committed grand theft of Rolexes and diamond jewelry.

Leonard Sulaymanov is suing Floyd and his company, the Money Team (TMT) for violations of the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act. He also accused Floyd of fraud, civil conspiracy, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and civil theft.

The lawsuit was filed in Miami federal court on August 23. The complaint also names Tyga (real name Michael Ray Stevenson) for allegedly failing to pay for a Rolex watch.

“This action arises out of a pattern of predatory, unfair, improper, fraudulent, and unscrupulous practices through which defendants used the plaintiff’s reputation, business, and inventory to systematically steal and convert the plaintiff’s watches and jewelry to their own without paying the full and fair price,” the lawsuit read.

Sulaymanov said a meeting was arranged by Floyd’s agent to view the jewelry in Miami. Floyd allegedly asked Sulaymanov to turn over his cell phone during the transaction. But Sulaymanov sneaked another phone in and secretly recorded the transaction.

Sulaymanov, who owns Lenzo & Co., claims he sold Floyd a yellow-gold Audemars Piguet watch, 2 Richard Mille watches, a Patek Philippe watch, a rose gold Rolex Presidential watch, a diamond ring, and a diamond chain.

Sulaymanov said Floyd paid $267,000 in 2 separate down payments on the nearly $4 million total. He promised the rest of the money within weeks. But he never paid.

Two weeks later, Sulaymanov claims he traveled to Las Vegas to meet with Mayweather and Tyga. He claims he brought 10 Rolex Presidential Anniversary watches, a Rolex Day-Date 40, and a Richard Mille watch as requested by Floyd.

At the meeting, Tyga (right) allegedly agreed to purchase the Rolex Day-Date for $79,000 cash. Floyd made more purchases but failed to pay for the previous purchases, the lawsuit stated.

Floyd showed off some of the jewelry in posts on social media and at red carpet events.

MediaPunch / BACKGRID

“Mayweather was wearing the diamond necklace and diamond ring in his TMT van departing Miami,” the lawsuit read. “And more recently, Mayweather posted a photograph wearing the necklace with his agent.”

“Defendants have never paid the remaining balance on the purchases made and are indebted to the plaintiffs for over $3,883,657.00,” the lawsuit states.

Floyd retired from professional boxing in 2017. But he continues to fight “exhibition matches” to finance his extravagant lifestyle.

According to researchers, your cell phone is 10 times dirtier than a toilet seat.

A researcher recorded a microscopic view of the average cell phone to see what’s on it. Caution: This video will make your skin crawl.

According to a recent study, the typical cell phone is loaded with bacteria and creepy crawlies.

The main problem is smartphone users don’t wash their hands before they handle their phones.

Via Time magazine:

“Because people are always carrying their cell phones even in situations where they would normally wash their hands before doing anything, cell phones do tend to get pretty gross,” says Emily Martin, assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. A recent study found more than 17,000 bacterial gene copies on the phones of high school students. Scientists at the University of Arizona have found that cell phones carry 10 times more bacteria than most toilet seats.

As you know, our skin is crawling with bacteria that snack on dead skin cells. There’s not much you can do about that. The good bacteria are beneficial. They keep us from getting sick by controlling the bad bacteria.

Face mites

Face mites also snack on the dead skin cells on our face. Supposedly, face mites crawl on our cell phones when we hold the phone to our face.

Click here if you missed my Medical Minute on face mites.

Get rid of pesky face mites by exfoliating daily to remove dead skin cells. You can also use cleansers that contain tea tree oil.

How to clean your phone

Experts suggest cleaning your phone with a mixture of rubbing 40% alcohol and 60% water.

Put the ingredients in a spray bottle and spray on a clean cloth before wiping your phone.

Or better yet, grab a box of alcohol swabs from a drugstore and wipe your phone down with a swab. I buy this cheap brand of alcohol swabs from Walmart. But any brand will work.

Megan Thee Stallion is off the market and dating Chicago Bulls player Torrey Craig. According to Snitch, the Houston rapper posted and quickly deleted a TikTok video that showed her and Torrey doing a couples challenge.

Since nothing ever stays deleted on the Internet, the video went viral on Tuesday.

In the video, the Houston rapper and the NBA player are in bed together. Megan licks her fingers as Torrey begins the couples challenge.

“Who’s most likely to get arrested?,” he said, while pointing at Megan. She agrees and points at herself.

“Who’s the better kisser?,” he asks. Again, Megan points to herself, and he agrees.

Torrey then asked, “Who said ‘I love you first?'” Megan quickly pointed to Torrey, but he pointed at her.

When he asked who starts the most arguments, Megan hesitated before pointing at herself.

Megan, 29, previously dated rapper Moneybagg Yo, singer Trey Songz, NFL star Travis Kelce, NBA star Michael Beasley. She also dated incarcerated rapper Tory Lanez, aspiring rapper Pardison Fontaine (pictured) and Belgian soccer player Romelu Lukaku.

Torrey, 33, is from South Carolina. He spent his first three professional seasons in Australia and New Zealand.

Torrey signed an NBA contract with the Denver Nuggets in 2017. He also played for the Bucks, Suns, and Pacers.

Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Garner teamed up to discuss their ex, Ben Affleck. Sources close to the Jennifers say they agree that their ex is difficult to live with.

Lopez filed for divorce on Aug. 20 after spending 2 years trying to make Affleck happy. The date of their separation is listed as April 26.

BACKGRID

A source close to Lopez tells People.com she “did spend a lot of time making sure Ben was happy and had everything he needed.”

“The way she cared for him was almost childlike,” the source said. “Friends constantly reminded her that she’s not responsible for his feelings. He’s very moody and dark at times. Jennifer appreciates life in another way. She’s very grateful for everything.”

Affleck moved out of their marital home and into a house near Jennifer Garner and their three kids.

BACKGRID

Paparazzi photos showed Affleck constantly leaning on Garner for emotional support after he married Lopez.

Garner’s body language indicated she was tired of being Affleck’s shoulder to cry on.

She allegedly told a friend that Affleck lacks coping skills and “has never handled stress well.”

“He doesn’t have good coping skills. He gets easily frustrated and tends to be moody,” the source said. “When he’s relaxed and in a good mood, it’s amazing to be around him. But more often, he’s upset or frustrated.”

BACKGRID

Garner allegedly said Affleck is easily triggered by the smallest thing.

“Many times, it’s just something small that he gets stuck on,” the source added. “He really doesn’t understand how his bad mood affects people around him. It’s just not fun being around that kind of negativity.”

Meanwhile, another source told People.com that Affleck is “doing well and is very focused” now that he’s single.

“He thrives when he has work projects. He’s been great when it comes to the kids too,” the source said. “He’s doing exactly what he wants. He seems very happy.”

La La (formerly La La Vazquez) recently explained why she kept Carmelo Anthony’s last name after she divorced him for cheating on her.

La La split from the NBA star in 2021 after she learned he fathered a child out of wedlock. She said she kept his last name for her son Kiyan’s future NBA career.

“That’s why I haven’t changed my last name yet,” La La said during a panel discussion at Fanatics Fest on Aug. 17. “I’m gonna keep it around for a little while!”

Kiyan, a 17-year-old 6 ft 5 guard plans to play for his dad’s alma mater Syracuse University.

Kiyan is currently a star basketball player at Long Island Lutheran High School in New York. He is ranked as one of the top shooting guards in the class of 2025 by ESPN.

Kiyan has the talent to play in the NBA one day. La La made it clear she plans to go where ever he goes and sit court side at his NBA games.

“I’m sorry, I’m going where my kid goes!” La La said. “Wherever my kid is at, that’s who I’m rooting for.”

Model and actress Jessica White wore colored contact lenses for years. But she grew tired of the irritation and dry eyes from wearing contacts.

Jessica booked an appointment with Kerato eye clinic in New York City for a procedure to change her eye color permanently.

In the past, celebrities like Tameka “Tiny” Harris traveled to foreign countries to undergo eye color surgery.

But thanks to advanced technology, Americans can change their eye color without leaving the United States.

Jessica has partnered with Kerato NYC to document her keratopigmentation procedure in a promotional video.

The procedure involves using a laser to create a tunnel under the cornea. A special pigment (color) is then injected into the cornea. The pigment covers the original color of your iris.

The procedure takes 20 to 30 minutes and the patient is awake the whole time.

Jessica opted for the honey gold eye color.

“I did it! I did it! I was terrified. I was so scared,” Jessica said in the promotional video. “No, it’s not painful at all. It isn’t painful.”

She added: “I’m not one of those people that likes to be up when getting any type of surgical procedures done. But it was fast, actually really quickly. I love the color!”

A Kerato NYC doctor cleared up confusion about the procedure in the comments section on TikTok.

“No, this is not an implant, this is keratopigmentation procedure. It is NOT an intraocular procedure. In the 16 years that this procedure has existed, there have been no reported serious complications.”

The $12,000 cost of the procedure is not covered by insurance. But Kerato NYC accepts all major credit cards.

Prince Williams/ATLPics.net

Jessica, 40, is best known as a former Victoria’s Secret runway model and the cover of Sports Illustrated‘s swimsuit edition.

Jessica appeared in movies such as Big Momma’s House 2 and reality TV series, including America’s Next Top Model as a judge.

She also made cameos in music videos, including Jay Z’s “Change Clothes”, Beyonce’s “XO”, and Ye West’s “Power.”

In 2023 Jessica joined the cast of “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.”

In 2020 she suffered a miscarriage while dating Nick Cannon.

Fans lashed out at R&B singer Usher, accusing him of using a body double during his tour opener in Washington, D.C.

Usher kicked off his “Past Present Future” global tour with 2 sold-out shows at Capital One Arena.

Fans paid hundreds of dollars for tickets to see the multi-platinum artist perform his timeless R&B tracks.

However, some fans complained that Usher pulled a fast one by using a body double during a costume change.

In a post on Instagram, Usher, 45, revealed he injured his neck while preparing for the tour. He said he postponed his Atlanta shows to get some rest.

Theo Wargo/Getty Images

Now fans claim Usher used a body double so he could rest during his 2-hour set.

As proof, one fan posted cell phone video on TikTok that shows a man dressed like Usher while singing his hit song “Yeah!”

But there was a problem: the person didn’t sound like Usher at all.

One fan wrote in the comments: “Who is this on stage?”

Another TikTok user wrote: “This can’t be the same Usher I saw in Vegas.”

A third person wrote: “All I know is after what I paid for this concert in October…the REAL Usher better be there.”
