Conway Thinks Eminem Fans Are "Nerds & Stans" Who Don’t Understand Him

Eminem’s perceived nemesis Lord Jamar was a guest on VladTV once again and this time, he questioned why Conway The Machine signed with Em’s Shady Records imprint.

Conway then appeared on the same platform and was asked what it was like being exposed to Slim Shady’s massive fanbase, something the Brand Nubian MC brought up during his the recent VladTV appearance.

“[They’re] a bunch of nerds and Stans and shit that don’t understand me or relate to what I bring to the table with this music,” he said in the clip. “[It’s always] where’s Eminem? We want an Eminem album.”

But the Griselda Records rapper noted their collaborative single “Bang” had just dropped and he hadn’t really had time to see how the Em’s Stans would react.

“I still haven’t really experienced it fully either,” he explained. “Like I said, that record just came out a couple days ago. I ain’t really get to fully experience the impact of Eminem’s fanbase gravitating to my catalog. We’ll see show that goes.”

Jamar was asked about his “nerds and Stans” comments after the fact and call them “refreshing.”

Elsewhere in the clip, Conway talked about what it was like meeting Em for the first time and how it felt when Shady told him he was “nice” on the mic.

Watch Conway’s comments above and Jamar’s below.

R. Kelly Medical Records Confirm He Has Incurable STD: Report

R. Kelly‘s currently locked up as he awaits trial. While he’s maintained his innocence, it seems like more an effort to convince himself than the rest us. At the end the day, these allegations have been swirling around for over 20 years so it seems more than likely that he is guilty the crimes he’s been accused . Over the past few years, new allegations the singer exposing his alleged victims to STDs have swirled around. Again, he and his team have denied such claims but now, there’s actual evidence proving that the singer is infected.

According to documents obtained by Bossip, the singer did indeed expose several women to STDs. Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Geddes said the singer’s health and medical records indicate that the victims who accused Kelly infecting them have pro to back up their claims. The singer was reportedly exposing several women to herpes. His team previously said there’s “zero evidence” to the claims made by the accusers.

Aside from his medical records, the feds are digging up dirt on Kelly to make sure he’s put behind bars. The government said they have bank statements, airline, Uber and hotel receipts that seem to prove the singer and his team flew girls from state to state. Additionally, ficials sent search warrants to Apple Inc. & AT&T for Kelly’s records.

Young Thug, Pop Smoke & A$AP Ferg Conquer This Week’s "FIRE EMOJI" Playlist

This week’s FIRE EMOJI playlist prited an overflow top-level content. As a result, many our most deserving entrants had to be let go. With no more than 100 spots for grabs at any given time, the FIRE EMOJI playlist is not only a hot commodity but a test character and staying power.

This week, strong showings from Future, A$AP Ferg, Offset, Doja Cat and Jacquees create a logjam at the top the order. Pop Smoke, for his part, was able to cement his claim to legitimacy by scoring a coveted Nicki Minaj verse on the remix to “Welcome to the Party.”

Elsewhere, Swae Lee was fortunate to have Drake on hand, rallying him to the finish line, his recent output doing little to arouse interest in the brotherly duo. “Won’t Be Late” will surely have the opposite, positive effect on his public prile.

Lastly, it was Young Thugger who reigned supreme in the week that was Sunday the 11th through Saturday the 17th August – with So Much Fun landing not one but three spots on our list. Be sure to follow all HNHH Spotify playlists below, and enjoy the wet season while supplies last.

Post Malone is undoubtedly one the hottest pop stars in the world now, right up there with Travis Scott. Posty has been steadily pushing his sophomore album, beerbongs & bentleys for the better part the past year and a half but it looks like we’ll finally be getting a new album from him any day now.

03 Greedo Has A "3,000 Song Rollout" In Place To Cover His 20 Year Prison Bid

03 Greedo clearly has phone privileges tucked away behind the concealment a life behind bars. This past week, the incarcerated rapper spoke to Complex about the contingency he enacted months before submitting to the law, knowing damn well his fate rested in a Texas jail cell for the foreseeable future.

Inevitably, Greedo wanted to provide for his loved ones while imprisoned, but not because he found himself in a powerless position. Given the fact, Greedo had been battling the case for some time, Greedo went about constructing a rollout, in which 3,000 songs over 20 years (his maximum sentence). In Greedo numbers, 3,000 songs over 20 years equate to 30 albums totaling 100 tracks each. How’s that for Costco volume?

“I would record anywhere,” Greedo recalled during his exchange with Complex. “Sometimes it was in studios, but there were times I recorded in my cousin’s closet in L.A. because that’s where I did my biggest songs. Once Wolf Grape Street dropped, I would go record with Migos at their session. Then with Uzi at his, then with Ty Dolla $ign, all in the same day. I recorded in all the big studios in L.A., New York, and Atlanta.”

Furthermore, compared his resilient approach to channeling the inner and outward strength a LeBron James-like athlete. Greedo’s most recent song submissions were on a joint project with Travis Barker Blink-182. Before that, he and Mustard had come out with the underappreciated Still Summer in the Projects, which you can streamright here, by chance.

Reigns, who is among the top stars in the WWE, is currently a member the SmackDown roster although he isn’t shy about jumping over to the red brand if need be. He is currently embroiled in a manhunt to find out which WWE superstar has a hit on him.

Prior to the annual SummerSlam PPV, a mystery assailant orchestrated a forklift accident during a SmackDown Live segment in an attempt to injury Reigns. Days later, they attempted to run Reigns over as he arrived in the parking lot for Monday Night Raw.

It was initially believed that Daniel Bryan and his accomplice Erick Rowan were behind the attacks, but the duo have denied any involvement. In fact, Bryan launched his own investigation into the matter and he claims to know who was behind it all. Barring any swerves, Bryan will be revealing the findings his investigation on the August 20th edition SmackDown Live.

De’Aaron Fox Withdraws From A Depleted "Team USA"

De’Aaron Fox is the latest Team USA recruit to opt-out the running, leading up to the 2019 FIBA World Cup. According to Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes, the 3rd-year pivot is withdrawing to focus on the Sacramento Kings’ playf push in the upcoming 2019-2020 season. While the Kings might be several playf rungs f the pace in the new-look Western Conference, Fox, and his Kings teammates, specifically Marvin Bagley and Buddy Hield, put the league on notice by focusing on team chemistry to great avail.

With Fox giving up his spot, the Team USA now boasts Kemba Walker, Donovan Mitchell, Khris Middleton, Jayson Tatum, Kyle Kuzma, Jaylen Brown, Harrison Barnes, Brook Lopez, Mason Plumlee, Marcus Smart, Myles Turner, Derrick White, and Joe Harris with a single roster cut hanging in the balance.

Although Fox was bound to play second fiddle to Kemba Walker within this Team USA group, scouts have been enthralled with his play throughout preparation camp, leading several pundits to project “combo” backcourt be placed out sequence. But alas, coach Gregg Popovich opted to play Derrick White ahead Fox in the rotation during Friday’s exhibition with Spain, limiting De’Aaron Fox to 6 minutes action. The writing was most certainly on the wall, from there on in.

Instagram Gallery: Celebrities That (Literally) Fight To Stay Fit

For most celebrities, maintaining a picture-perfect bod is just another requirement living their lives in the public eye. While many A-listers choose to sweat out those excess calories by hitting the pavement, the yoga studio or the gym, many are now opting to sculpt their physiques by stepping into the ring. From slipping on boxing gloves and throwing punch after punch like Kevin Hart to training in mixed martial arts like Wiz Khalifa, staying fighting fit is a top priority for many celebs.

Instead simply treating his time in the ring as a means to bulk up his notoriously skinny frame, Wiz instead embraced the fighting community as a whole and transformed his life in the process. “The fighting community is really cool,” he admits. “All the fighters that I meet, or anybody that I train with, they’re super forward with the knowledge and really cool as far as teaching technique and combos. Nobody is really aggressive and wants to fuck you up too bad. They be getting some people in the gym who be acting a little crazy. But for the most part, everyone that I’ve run into, whether that would be pressional or on their own situation, they’ve been really, really cool and accepting me doing my thing and wanting to further my knowledge.”

Rihanna Seems To Think Jay-Z Was In The Wrong For NFL Deal

Jay-Z’s move to work with the NFL came as a shock to many, although after further digestion, it actually made complete sense. Whether you agree with Jay or not, we already know that he’s about making big business plays which sometimes come with a bit disruption. With Kaep still without a job, Hov caught a serious amount flack for working with the NFL, especially since the partnership with the league is meant to enhance social justice causes. We’ve heard from Eric Reid, Nessa, and Jemele Hill but we’ve yet to hear from anyone close to Jay. However, we might have an indication where one his protege’s stands on the matter.

A picture speaks a thousand words but in the social media era, a simple like can hold just as much weight. Social activist Shaun King went on Instagram to share his thoughts on Hov’s new deal with the NFL. He essentially put Hov on blast for essentially assisting the NFL in further blackballing Kaepernick. But what occurred after the post was more revealing. Rihanna inconspicuously liked the post but it didn’t take long for people to catch on. It might not necessarily indicate her feelings towards Hov’s deal with the NFL, it definitely speaks towards where she stands with Kaep who she’s been incredibly supportive over the years.

Obama Reportedly Concerned Joe Biden Might "Embarrass Himself" On Campaign Trail

Obama and Joe Biden were the dynamic duo when they were in fice. Although controversial at times, their bromance will never be forgotten in the eyes American politics and pop culture. But that may have been the reason why Biden took a shot at becoming the president. There’s a lot people who’ve been riding for him but at the same time, Biden has been subject to a ton controversy. So it only makes sense that Obama tried to steer Biden away from entering the 2020 Presidential race.

According to a report from the New York Times, Obama had some behind-the-scenes chats with Biden’s advisors in hopes to prevent anything bad from happening on the campaign trail. Ahead Biden’s announcement, Obama seemed to cast his doubts on Biden’s decision. “You don’t have to do this, Joe, you really don’t,” Obama reportedly told Biden. But Obama seemingly gave the advice to also protect himself in the long run.

In March, Mr. Obama took the unusual step summoning Mr. Biden’s top campaign advisers, including the former White House communications director Anita Dunn and Mr. Biden’s longtime spokeswoman, Kate Bedingfield, to his Washington fice for a briefing on the campaign’s digital and communications strategy with members his own staff, including his senior adviser, Eric Schultz.

When they were done, Mr. Obama fered a pointed reminder, according to two people with knowledge his comments:

Win or lose, they needed to make sure Mr. Biden did not “embarrass himself” or “damage his legacy” during the campaign.

Obama’s been relatively quiet on the campaign trail so far. Biden might have a shot at beating Trump but there’s still ways to go.

Trump Gets Shut Down By Greenland After Reportedly Wanting To Buy Country

Donald Trump’s made some pretty crazy claims during his time as president but he really had people scratching their heads earlier today. A report from the WSJ revealed that Trump’s discussed the idea purchasing Sweden among his advisors.

“In meetings, at dinners and in passing conversations, Mr. Trump has asked advisers whether the U.S. can acquire Greenland, listened with interest when they discuss its abundant resources and geopolitical importance and, according to two the people, has asked his White House counsel to look into the idea.”

According to the report, some his advisors have supported the idea while “others have] dismissed it as a fleeting fascination that will never come to fruition.” Inevitably, he was roasted on social media. But, it’s Trump and talking big is all a part his game plan. Unfortunately for him, it doesn’t seem likely that it’ll ever happen. The former prime minister Denmark, Lars Lokke Rasmussen, responded to the claims on Twitter after the reports emerged. “It must be an April Fool’s Day joke … but totally out season],” he wrote.

After these reports came out, it was made ficial that Trump has no chances purchasing Greenland. Greenland’s Ministry Foreign Affairs responded to the claims after the reports emerged. “#Greenland is rich in valuable resources such as minerals, the purest water and ice, fish stocks, seafood, renewable energy and is a new frontier for adventure tourism. We’re open for business, not for sale,” the tweet read.

No word back from Trump yet but it’s only a matter time.

New Music: Jacquees feat. Lil Keed & Lil Gotit ‘Hot for Me’

While we await Jacquees’ sophomore album Round 2, the self-proclaimed “King of R&B” holds fans over with his new single “Hot for Me” featuring Lil Keed and Lil Gotit.

The R&B crooner caters to the ladies on the seductive bedroom banger. “Baby, can you make it hot for me? / In my bed making memories,” he sings in his falsetto before YSL’s Lil Keed adds a slimey verse.

Jordan Peele’s "Candyman" Is Officially In Production, Tony Todd Reprises Role

Jordan Peele may have come into the world television and film through comedy but he’s becoming one the most revered horror film directors our time. Get Out was an immaculate body work, one that would win Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards. He followed it up with Us that hit theatres earlier this year which received equal praise. But people are waiting on his next move, now. The director announced his “spiritual sequel” to the cult classic, Candyman. According to a press release from MGM, the film has already gone into production. On top that, they also announced some spectacular news for day one fans that Tony Todd, the original Candyman, will be reprising his role for Peele’s “spiritual sequel.”

Tony Todd’s addition to the cast isn’t much a surprise. There were rumors going around earlier this year that he would be reprising his role as the movie’s villain but there were also rumors a few other actors. Either way, Todd had kind words for Jordan Peele regardless.

“If Jordan wants to do it, do it. I know I’d rather have him do it, someone with intelligence, who’s going to be thoughtful and dig into the whole racial makeup who Candyman is and why he existed in the first place,” he told Nightmare On Film Street earlier this year. “I know he’ll give homage and I know that if it gets made, I’ll have a plate at the table one way or the other.”

Conway Says Eminem’s Stans Are "Nerds" Who Can’t Relate With Him

DJ Vlad, always one to stir the pot, played host to Lord Jamar this past week, hopeful the mere mention Eminem might trigger, within him, a litany sensational quips. He was right, the ploy worked. Jamar questioned why Conway Griselda decided to work under Eminem at Shady Records. Beyond the racial connotations that were imbued in his rhetorical statement(s), Lord Jamar questioned why a rapper with such a devoted fanbase would go about splitting his timeshares with a higher-up, much less Eminem.

It wouldn’t take long for word to reach Conway himself, seeing as he too, had a DJ Vlad Q&A lined up later in the week – during which the Griselda rapper noted that, upon his signing with Shady Records, Eminem fans greeted him unparalleled levels .. get this… Eminem “stannery.” Let’s just say, Conway was none too impressed.

DJ Vlad wasted little time broaching the subject. “They’re] a bunch nerds and stans that don’t understand me or relate to what I bring to the table,” Conway said the Eminem’s core fans – after which he described his overall reception as playing “second fiddle” to a player who isn’t even dressed for the game. In lieu showing interest in Em’s new talent acquisition, the Stans have reportedly maintained a relentless chorus demands, in the interest new Marshall material. Where’s the love?

Burger King Employees Fired After Cop Receives Burger With Pig Drawn On Wrapper

On August 8, Timo Rosenthal – a police ficer in Clovis, New Mexico – received a burger from Burger King with a cartoon pig drawn on the wrapper. After Rosenthal posted a photo the wrapper and explained the incident on his Facebook account, the post went viral, eventually reaching Burger King’s head fices.

Fox & Friends was interested in the story and brought Rosenthal on their program to obtain more details. Rosenthal said that he initially found the drawing funny. “I have a good sense humor, I’m an immigrant… we have good sense humor”. But once he noticed that the patty was burnt, he felt as if it was done “out spite”, rather than as a joke.

His food being tampered with is where he drew the line, but he still never intended to issue any formal complaints to Burger King about the incident. However, once Burger King caught wind the story, they were apologetic. They took swift action to fire the five employees involved the following day and a spokesperson issued a public statement: “What occurred is unacceptable and not in line with our brand values… The restaurant is fering free meals to uniformed ficers and will provide a catered lunch to the police department as a gesture good will.”
