MEGAN THEE STALLION: Claps Back at Critic
Megan Thee Stallion's clapping back at critics who take issue with her recent op-ed.
After someone on Twitter called her out for “pandering” by using the Protect Black Women movement, Meg responded to put the fan in their place. “This is exactly the type of dumb comment that makes me scream PROTECT BLACK WOMEN. Please tell me why I would need to lie about being shot to promote the protection of women... Like out of all the things to lie about... This is sad coming out of a BLACK MAN’S MOUTH.”
If @theestallion is taking advantage of this #PROTECTBLACKWOMEN and pandering, she gonna lose a lot of fans when the facts comes out

NIPSEY HUSSLE: Family Taking Crips to Court
Nipsey Hussle’s estate has beef with the Crips, which it plans to handle in court.
The brother of the late rapper, Samuel Asghedom, filed suit against the corporate arm of the gang, Crips LLC. The legal battle is over the rights to Nipsey’s slogan “The Marathon Continues.” Apparently the gang swooped in and filed for a trademark application less than two months after the rapper’s death. Even though Nipsey’s family owns multiple Marathon-related trademarks, folks noticed something shady going on over the summer and were told Crips LLC would “abandon its applications.”
The thing is, the gang continued to use the trademarks on unauthorized merch, so now Nipsey’s family is making moves to shut things down, destroy any bootleg merch, and hand over any money made off using the slogan.
