Houston Rockets Season Opener Cancelled After Players Test Positive For COVID-19
Source: Carmen Mandato / Getty The NBA season for the Houston Rockets hasn’t even gotten underway yet and the squad has gotten off to a rocky start. Just days after disgruntled James Harden threw a basketball at a teammate, allegedly, seemingly in an effort to fast track a trade out of Houston, the NBA has already canceled their season opener as a few players tested positive for COVID-19. According to the Huffpost, the Rockets season opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder was pulled from the schedule after the team couldn’t put out a league minimum of 8 players on the court. After three players tested positive or inconclusive (lowkey positive) for the Coronavirus, some contact tracing led to four other players getting quarantined for exposure to the virus.

Receipts: Dr. Dre’s Ex-Wife Did Sign A Prenup, Only Entitled To Spousal Support
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Once again we are reminded that the pen is mightier than the sword in Hip-Hop. Dr. Dre’s wife might need to lower her expectations when it comes to their separation. As spotted on TMZ the Compton icon made it clear he deals with receipts. This week his legal team provided the courts the original prenuptial document that his estranged lover originally signed in 1996 but has denied since their split. According to the documents Nicole Young is only entitled to financial support from the founding N.W.A. member. This may land her a nice bag for her exit package but will be far less than what she has filed for in their divorce negations. In essence her signature has put a hard line in between her and their property. The language in the prenup specific...
On To The Next One?: Square Is Reportedly Trying To Cop Tidal From JAY-Z
Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Is JAY-Z’s time as the owner of Tidal coming to an end? Bloomberg reports that Square, the payments company ran by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey is reportedly trying to buy Tidal from JAY-Z, who acquired the music streaming service from Aspiro, a Norwegian-based company, back in 2015 for $56 million. According to a source who requested not to be named because the talks have been private and that the deal has not been guaranteed, Dorsey has been discussing with Jigga to purchase Tidal to diversify Square’s business. This news is intriguing because Tidal has been “struggling” to compete with direct competitors like Spotify and Apple Music. The company hasn’t been forthright when it comes to sharing subscription numbers, so it remains a mystery about exactly how w...
