D’ANGELO OUTS SWAGGY P
D’Angelo Russell is the future of the Los Angeles Lakers and figures to be a leader next season with Kobe’s retirement. Leaders usually possess maturity and are well-liked by the team they lead.
The rookie broke the ultimate guy code as he filmed teammate Nick Young on camera without Young’s consent. On the video Swaggy brags about bedding a drunk 19-year-old.
The leaked video didn’t sit well with the team as they isolated Russell the whole week.
With Russell being the Lakers’ prized rookie, he figures to be on the roster next season meaning Young will probably go. Honestly, even with Young gone I’m not sure how the team is gonna feel having a teammate like Russell leading them.
Of course the Internet was in full-effect with the memes. Check a couple out below:

Things don’t look good for Russell as it seems that Young Metro don’t trust him:

One person apparently appreciated Russell’s disloyalty:

Hopefully this situation doesn’t end Nick and Iggy’s engagement.
KEHLANI BACK WITH PND?
Last time I checked Kehlani was in a relationship with Cleveland Cav’s Point Guard, Kyrie Irving, and the two seemed very happy together.
Earlier this week Kehlani’s ex, PartyNextDoor posted a picture with the R&B singer in his bed, causing complete outrage with allegations of Kehlani cheating on Irving.
This pic #partynextdoor posted feels like a setup. Kehlani's hand looked limp… Girl was possibly asleep. pic.twitter.com/tpTMkc4l9T

There wasn’t any clarity on whether Kehlani did in fact cheat on Irving or the two were split at the time. However, the backlash from the whole situation proved to be a little too much for her to handle, as she later shared on her Instagram that she attempted suicide.
We ❤️you #Kehlani. 🚷They. https://t.co/YYU5T0eQ8L pic.twitter.com/CQctwt6tdA

Suicide is no joke and it appears that Kehlani wasn’t seriously injured and happens to be in a better mental place, thankfully.
Of course the Internet shot out hilarious memes:

I don’t know who’s snapshots caused more damage PND’s or D’Angelo Russell’s. In my opinion they both should put the camera down and focus on their careers.
TIDAL AND CHILL?
Jay-Z’s TIDAL has seen a major rise in subscribers in the past couple of week’s with Kanye exclusively releasing TLOP on the streaming service.
It appears TIDAL is ready to expand from exclusively streaming music and will soon begin to stream movies, giving Netflix and Hulu a run for their money.
The service has already filed for licensing to acquire original movies with the help and efforts of music mogul, Irv Gotti.
There have been several reports that Jay will be producing a movie soon and Kanye is working on a film script with screenwriter Bret Easton Ellis, both will surely be exclusively released on TIDAL.
The movie streaming could be up and running as early as June, in time for summer ‘16.
You ready to TIDAL and chill?
BAD BOY REUNION
Puff Daddy and the Family will soon be a thing again, at least for one night as the mogul announced he will be reuniting the crew for “One Night Only,” a Bad Boy Record reunion.
The reunion will occur on Friday, May 20, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, in honor of the late, Notorious B.I.G.
Performers include: Jay Z, Mary J. Blige, Ma$e, 112, Lil’ Kim, the Lox, Faith Evans, French Montana, Total and Mario Winans, all performing Bad Boy classics and duets.
Big Poppa would’ve turned 44 the day after the reunion concert and inspired the reunion.
Tickets will go on sale April 2, at 11 a.m. EST on livenation.com.
