L.A. Leakers Weekly Rewind: Feb 6 – Feb 12th

The Broncos beat the Panthers in SuperBowl 50 last Sunday, but the most exciting play of the night happened during the halftime show, as Beyonce, Bruno Mars and Coldplay lit up the stage.

‘Yonce did her usual slaying on stage with some breathtaking choreography and glass-shattering vocals.

The performance was one of the most controversial since Janet Jackson’s nip-slip during the 2004 halftime show.

Critics called out Beyonce for performing her newest song, “Formation,” sporting all black leather with a bullet belt resembling that of the Black Panther Party, while shouting out the Black Panthers and Malcolm X.

One Toronto official went as far as wanting to have Beyonce investigated and wanting Beyonce banned from Canada. (Not sure the Bey hive is gonna let that slide.)

The real surprise came during the first commercial after the performance which announced Beyonce’s Formation world tour.

Tickets for the Formation world tour will go on sale February 16th.

Kobe’s last Cleveland visit

Kobe Bryant continues his retirement tour as he visited LeBron and his Cleveland Cavaliers one last time in Cleveland.
He got a warm-hearted welcome and a standing ovation when he got taken out of the game.

The Lakers lost the game and Kobe didn’t put up the numbers he would’ve hoped for, as he put up 17 points, six rebounds and three dimes.

After the game Kobe met LeBron in the locker room to autograph the pair of shoes he wore in the game and gave them to James.
