The 17-year-old rapper hit the big leagues with his hit single "Ran$om" and, since then, he's been following that formula to a tee. This year, he's impacted his audience with "IDK" and that should have probably been his answer when asked if he could spell the word "chiropractor."  Theo Wargo/Getty ImagesWhe...155147article, Lil Tecca Royally Fails Spelling Challengeblogs/2-2020/155147-lil-tecca-royally-f-s.jpghttp://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/itstheboombap-john-cena-recalls-moment-he-was-nearly-fired-by-wwe/features/blogs/itstheboombap-john-cena-recalls-moment-he-was-nearly-fired-by-wwe/Posted by itstheboombap0http://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/itstheboombap-john-cena-recalls-moment-he-was-nearly-fired-by-wwe/#commentsFri, 21 Feb 2020 17:02 GMT It's tough to imagine the WWE without 16-time Champion John Cena, but that was almost the reality as WWE nearly fired Cena just months after his debut on SmackDown. As part of WWE Network's new series "Ruthless Aggression," Cena explained how he was informed of his impending release in 2002 after he failed to capitalize on the momentum from his match against Kurt Angle.

Sharpe currently cohosts FS1's Undisputed alongside Skip Bayless and the former Denver Bronco has been known to bring some hot takes to the table. On Friday, that's exactly what he did while talking about Tom Brady.

The 23-year-old has been hated on from all sides, earning a ton of backlash for his comments about Tupac Shakur several years ago. He's been trying to bounce back into the public's good graces but, unfortunately, it's looking like that's less likely to happen as time goes by. His reputation isn't getting him down though. The leader of Xanarchy has everything he's ever wanted.

The Atlanta Hawks have been consistently bad but their one bright spot is none other than Young. Last night, Young dominated the court as he scored 50 points while propelling his team to a 129-124 victory over the Miami Heat. This was the first time in Young's career that he was able to score 50 and we're sure he's destined for even more in the future.  Y...155140article, Trae Young Cheekily Explains Why He Gave Quavo His 50-Point Jerseybvc/175/37835-its-boombap.jpghttp://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/itstheboombap-eminem-kxng-crooked-drop-gems-crooks-corner/features/blogs/itstheboombap-eminem-kxng-crooked-drop-gems-crooks-corner/Posted by itstheboombap0http://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/itstheboombap-eminem-kxng-crooked-drop-gems-crooks-corner/#commentsFri, 21 Feb 2020 15:47 GMT It's official --  Eminem has officially sat down with KXNG Crooked for a conversation on Crook's Corner. The opening moments find the two lyricists nerding out over each other's bars, with Em marveling at Crook's "Abraham Lincoln" scheme and Crook returning the favor with Em's "Ohio/Since-An-Addy" scheme.

She's one of the biggest artists on TikTok with about a handful of her records blowing up over there. She's also a huge search term on YouTube.

Barkley was critical of Cavs' players throughout the "thugs" controversy, and he really laid into the team during last night's episode of 'Inside The NBA' for the way they ran Beilein out of town.

Imploring those who find themselves embroiled in conflict to avoid police intervention at all costs, Beezy makes it known that he'll never cooperate with authorities under any circumstances. "Don't run to no police, don't get no man involved, know what I'm sayin?" he requests, over a soulful guitar lick.

The Blast reports Guven's Fine Jewelry has filed documents accusing the rapper of being a no-show in court over a $400K bill. Now, they're asking for a default judgment since Set never showed up. Given a deadline of Feb 4th to respond, they said that Offset was served the proper papers with a legal notice.

In the last year, Minaj has been more comfortable letting the world into her personal matters, showing off her new husband Kenneth Petty all over social media and even making reference to her brother, who has been convicted of child rape, during her feud against ex-boyfriend Meek Mill.
