“People ask me for favors all the time, they ask me for money all the time,” he said, before directly addressing the anonymous people within the video. He continued, “And you’ll be able to’t even come to help me help other people. So now I work for you. I’m sitting here providing you with money to provide help to because you’ll be able to’t get your act together. Or I help the unlucky and you help the unlucky, and you do not even come. I’m just sitting there considering, “Man, you guys really need to leave me the hell alone for a minute.” These are real niggas that just need to take into consideration this man. What else did you do?
The giveaway took place at Esco restaurant and tapas bar Chainz in Atlanta on the morning of November 26. The rapper and his wife Nakesha Ward-Epps organized the event through their nonprofit organization Tru Foundation, which they founded in 2011.
His wife had sent out a flyer in regards to the event the day before and said, “It’s my favorite time of year. It’s time to give back to our community and spread the love. Join us tomorrow morning @escobaratlanta from 9am-11am for our annual turkey giveaway. See you. Truuuuuuu @thetrufoundation.”
Fans reacted to the video within the comment.

Someone else wrote: “Stop fn with the no-show and stand on this….”
“I always tell my kids you have no friends. You have collaborators,” a 3rd person said.
“Damn that’s cold my brother 2chains,” a fourth person said. “Giving back and his brothers never stopped, but whenever they needed something, they reached out to s— Krazy, why did I, as a black man, stop helping some people.”

Sha’Carri Richardson debuts the Nike Air Superfly running shoe
Sha’Carri Richardson debuts the return of Nike Air’s original Superfly running shoe. The athlete sponsored by Nike presented a women’s footwear product in the global brand’s campaign.
The debut is an ideal fit for Richardson as the shoe supports runners with its sleek design. According to , but boasts “streamlined design characterized by a perforated upper and a smooth midsole.” What’s more, the outlet reported that it “gets rid of excess padding for a slim, low-profile fit at the toe — typical design principles used in track spikes.”
Richardson wore the original Superfly design created in 2001. An athlete in a photograph session dressed head-to-toe Nike, with a sporty jacket, bubble skirt and knee-high socks to finish the look.
Richardson also announced in the caption of her post that modern silhouettes of the classic shoe might be available soon. However, there is no such thing as a information yet on the recent colorway or price of the running-inspired shoes. Despite this, the sprinter has already taken part in a historic campaign and rollouts.
In addition to lucrative sponsorships with brands like Nike and BeatsByDre, Richardson is carving a path for herself as a force in track and field. After making the Olympic team for the 2024 Paris Games, Richardson brought home two medals for her Olympic performances. She took home silver in the 100 m and gold in the 4×100 m relay.
Nike signed the athlete in March, and reports say it has secured $20 million in a five-year deal. Although skeptics feared that Nike was too quick to commit to the outspoken athlete, Richardson’s victories proved that Nike had made a solid bet on her. Her relationship with the footwear giant isn’t recent. She wore Nike Air Zoom Maxfly spikes during the 2023 World Championships in Budapest. At that event, Richardson won gold in the 100m, beating Shericka Jackson and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce to set a brand new championship record in a time of 10.65 seconds.

Grunge rocker Courtney Love exposes shocking feelings towards rapper Kendrick Lamar as racist song ‘N-ger of Your Dreams’ returns
It appears that a song written by grunge rocker Courtney Love 30 years ago landed her in the center of controversy and public discourse, with many calling her a racist after she declared she had a “mad crush” on Kendrick Lamar.
Love spoke on November 26 on The Standard, where she shared her thoughts on “Not Like Us” rapper Kendrick Lamar and his series of dissents towards Drake. During the meeting, the self-confessed rock star was asked if there was any artist she would really like to collaborate with.
“I might like to work with Kendrick Lamar; I’m crazy obsessive about it. I also love British artists doing femme exercises, however it has to sound organic, not forced. Plus, I’m a fan of Stormzy and Doja Cat,” she said.
Later within the interview, Love, 60, emphasized her adoration for the Compton rapper, saying, “Like I said, I really like Kendrick – he’s brilliant, too,” while mentioning that she’d wish to work together with her “housemates” Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube.
However, her love of rap didn’t come and not using a few fans recalling some of Love’s past indiscretions. There has been talk online about “Nger of Your Dreams,” a song recorded and performed just once in 1994 by her group Hole, and now individuals are a series of inflammatory remarks she’s made through the years and wondering about her ally.
The article that appeared first has reappeared published on Cracked.com in 2021 asked, “Is Courtney Love a racist?”
She was angered by statements she made during her “Live Through This” tour, during which she had the audience repeat various vulgar words to her between her songs. At one point she told them to shout the B word, the C word, after which, once they got mad, the N word.
After we raved about it, the audience consisted of a bunch of “good white people.” She then asked them, “Ah, do you feel less politically correct now? Because yes.”
According to the article, not each time she asked the group to achieve this, the group forced her to achieve this. In some cases she was booed. While this was happening, she shrunk and stopped chanting.
Celebrate Boston says the one performance that didn’t confirm this was on December 4, 1994, on the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles, where the audience was equally rowdy, bashing them with offensive terms through the performance.
She eventually stopped using trigger words in her set, except when she debuted the song “N-ger of Your Dreams” through the tour.
texts, According to to Genius were: “There’s a testament within the Bible/Just ’cause I do know the way in which/I’m the nigga of your dreams/Your nigga that you will never see/Anyone can take from you and everybody’s bleeding you/They may say you are right/But why is that you just do/You don’t just jump/Just jump, just jump, just jump.”
According to data from January 2003 issue SPIN magazine: “During a monologue concerning the greatness of the Strokes, Love noticed a black girl shouting, ‘You do not know who the Strokes are!’ Which is sweet! You have your culture and I actually have mine.
The article also highlighted a comment she made to a black man: “She then asked a black man dressed in a rag, ‘What’s the problem with African Americans?’ What’s wrong with your hair?”
The article even mentioned her appearance at Pamela Anderson’s comedy roast in 2005, where she made a joke about comedian Eddie Griffin, a foul-mouthed comment which she thought was funny: “You African Americans only know about me because I was arrested.”
Another time she yelled at a black fan for liking a white rock band.
-In 2010, at one of her live shows, she dragged an African-American woman on stage and asked her, “Do you really like rock music?”
This moment made the room awkward, so she turned to the group and the black girl and said, “Because you are African American. It could be like me liking Lil Wayne.
Nearly a decade and a half later, plainly there are some things very different about Love.
During this time, she underwent counseling following the loss of her husband, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who committed suicide in April 1994, several months before her tour tirade. In 2020, while accepting the ‘Icon Award’ on the NME Awards, she he admitted that in any case these years she was finally sober.
Now, in 2024, he doesn’t imagine that artists of certain races should follow their very own culture. Not only did she cover Jay-Z’s “99 Problems,” but she gave him permission to record the lyrics to Nirvana’s hit “Smells Like Teen Spirit” for his song “Holy Grail” featuring Justin Timberlake, HuffPost reported.
As for her relationship with Mr. “Not Like Us” himself, fans are suggesting that the singer should skip it.
“The Black delegation wants nothing to do with Courtney Love. Can a White delegation come and get their people? Thank you,” one person wrote on Threads.
Who knows if he sincerely desires to collaborate with the “GNX” rapper, but fans appear to prefer it. Perhaps it is the case that regardless of what you do to vary your style, people will at all times remember what you probably did and said, especially if it was something bigoted.
