Elon Musk Shares Transphobic Meme Following Report of Grimes Dating Chelsea Manning
Following reports that Elon Musk’s ex-partner Grimes has been dating Chelsea Manning, the billionaire expressed his feelings like many another emotionally-stunted bigot: by posting a transphobic meme on Twitter. Musk shared an image from the Sad Pablo Escobar meme template. It shows the character of Escobar (played by Wagner Moura in the Netflix series Narcos) sitting on a bench and looking forlorn. The ungrammatical text reads: “Netflix waiting for the war to end to make a movie about a black ukraine guy falls in love with a transgender russian soldier.” We’re not going to share it in this article, but you can find it here. Musk didn’t directly reference Manning, who is a trans woman. But this is not the first time he’s made derogatory jokes about the trans community, and during the ...

Conway The Machine Claims His Griselda Contract Was Not In His Favor
Conway The Machine admitted in a recent interview that he did not read his Griselda Records contract, which also supposedly did not turn out in his favor. Speaking to The Breakfast Club, the Griselda co-founder explained that he has learned his lesson and will make sure his next contract works for him. “When we did that shit in the beginning, I really wasn’t all the way,” Conway shared. “I didn’t even read that contract, bro. I ain’t read that shit. I just signed that shit and moved on. But you know, unfortunately, the contract wasn’t in my favor. So now, going forward, it’s time to redo all that. I gotta make sure if it’s in my favor now.” He also explained that he did not blindly sign the contract for money, and that what he received for his deals with Griselda, Shady and Interscope...

In a new interview with Scott Penfold of Loaded Radio, SKID ROW guitarist Dave “Snake” Sabo was asked how he feels about people still calling for a reunion with the band’s former singer Sebastian Bach. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Well, it’s been 23 years [since SKID ROW reformed], so to say that I’m over it would be an understatement. We attempted [a reunion] slightly [back in 2016]. We dipped our toes in the water and realized that it didn’t feel so good. It’s just one of those things where we still could not see eye to eye; we couldn’t even get past the point of simple texting. “I am really, really happy where we are,” Snake continued. “I’m very proud of our past, and all due credit to everyb...
Why Kail Is ‘No Longer’ Filming Teen Mom 2
Kail has made a major decision about her involvement on Teen Mom 2. Over the years, the mom of four’s ex Chris was the only one of her children’s fathers who chose to not be featured on the show (save for a few moments). But now, the young dad is indeed appearing on-camera, with his official debut centering around Briana appearing on his podcast — and the move caused immediate fallout. “After the podcast was recorded, Kail learned Chris was participating in the series,” a message read at the conclusion of tonight’s installment. “She informed production that she will no longer be filming.” Kail was not featured in the episode, so viewers were not able to see her react to the Chris news or discuss her choice. The last scene she appeared in was ...
