Chance the Rapper brought Megan Thee Stallion on for her first Saturday Night Live performance ever when she joined him on stage during his double duty episode on the variety show.

As expected with a Chance the Rapper-hosted episode, musical sketches were sprinkled throughout the episode, including a Chicago tribute in the monologue.

And when he switched over to musical guest-mode, Chance performed songs from his The Big Day album, providing fans a preview of what they can expect on his 2020 tour.

In his first music set, he performed “Zanies andFools,” with dancers, a drumline and even some personal home video footage.

And for his second set, he performed “Home,” a song that had him bring out Megan to perform her guest verse. This was her first time on the show, and she was more than excited.

“Omg I absolutely CANNOT believe I was on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE tonight,” she captioned an Instagram post. “I wanna cry … thank you so much [Chance The Rapper] for having me perform with you.. tonight was everything.”

The resurrection has started! According to Sporting News, LaVar Ball, father of New Orleans Pelican’s player, Lonzo Ball, has stated that his disheveled sneaker company, Big Baller Brand, is restructuring amid a fractured relationship with former business partner, Alan Foster.

“The Big Baller Brand is alive and well. The Brand has been restructuring, and we are working to reveal the new website in the next few weeks. It will have a new look and a new name. www.BigBallerBrandInc.com” LaVar Ball reveals on his Twitter account.

“Unfortunately, Alan Foster continues to try and leverage the Ball Family name for his own gain. Alan Foster is a convicted felon who served 7 years in jail for defrauding people out of their money. He is a thief and con man and cannot be believed or trusted.”

Back in March, Lonzo Ball told ESPN that he believes that Alan Foster, a friend of Lonzo’s father for almost a decade who owns 16.3% of Big Baller Brand, had “used his access to my business and personal finances to enrich himself. As a result, I have decided to sever all ties with Alan, effective immediately.”

“This has been a very difficult decision as I had a great deal of love and respect for Alan,” Lonzo said at that time. “But the time has come for me to take responsibility for my own career both on and off the court.”

According to documents and emails reviewed by ESPN, Lonzo’s financial adviser, Humble Lukanga of Life Line Financial Group, alleged in an October email that Lonzo’s and Big Baller’s taxes could not be completed on time due to an inability to account for the whereabouts of $1.5 million.

In the meantime, Foster has taken over the Big Baller Brand website and when you click on the site’s logo, it redirects you to his website, Alan Foster Official, where he advertises an online mentoring course via the Baller Financial Network.

(This post contains out of context spoilers) Bass Reeves? I need to see this film. Is this a real film? That piano sounds so mournful. Foreshadowing for that ass. Aside from Rosewood and documentaries, have we ever seen the horror and pure evil of white supremacist depravity on screen? What kind of The Purge shit […]

Two Texas women thought it was a good idea to retaliate on behalf of a family member and severely beat up a 12-year-old girl. According to KWTX, Kyhirah Clemons, 32, and Chonda Edmond, 44, severely beat up a 12-year-old over a dispute she had with their relative at Kileen Middle School. Clemons and Edmond allegedly beat the girl with what looked like baseball bats. They were arrested last week and are being held on $100,000 bond and have been charged with causing injury to a child.

When police arrived at the scene of the incident, which occurred on June 12th, 2019, the victim was found on the ground.

Edmond is the classmate’s mother while Clemons identified herself as the girl’s aunt. The 12-year-girl told police that after school she had a physical altercation with Edmond and Clemons while an unidentified man and Edmond’s daughter were there. According to a court affidavit, the 12-year-old said “that both adult females had objects that looked like baseball bats and began to strike her with the objects.” She said she had an argument with Edmond’s daughter earlier that day.

Edmond told police that Clemons isn’t the girl’s aunt but “is a close friend that she refers to as a sister and is her only family member that lives locally.”

The girl later identified Clemons and Edmond in a photo lineup. There is also a video showing the altercation between Edmond and the child in front of the middle school.
