“I got Billboard melodies, rap is sum I do on the side
I crossed over to the other side, and I didn’t even have to die
Got the money but I’ll never show, so let a nigga try and play heroic
Michael Jackson been talking to me in my dreams and he said you bad and you know it”

I present to you, the most hated man in professional sports
Been a fan of Hov since 2/23/95. But, that Roots Picnic freestyle gets is a 6.5/10.
Roberta Flack/Lauryn Hill scheme was cool. The Questlove x Jaguar bar was cool.
But, don’t be talkin bout MAGA being “oops” when you’re at the table w/ them and your CEO was pardoned by them. 🤷🏽♂️

Naomi Osaka on why she chose to host a party for the black tennis players:
“You know I'm seeing a little bit of-
‘Why can't you love everyone for all skin tones?’ and ‘what if someone had an all white party?! First of all I do love everyone for who they are no matter their race + ethnicity, (I'm literally half Japanese lol). I can only speak from my experiences in my own life though, growing up as a tennis player I didn't see many people that looked like ME and I feel like it's important to celebrate them.
Secondly I feel like it's important to note that there have been all white dinners/parties. I don't know how else to tell you this, I literally seen them all the time and never had an issue with it at all. To the people who ask this question I want to ask you this question too, ‘What is it about POC getting together that unsettles you so much?’
I want to end this by saying I grew up watching my dad get discriminated against, having the cops called on him multiple times at the tennis court. There are multiple things I will apologize for in my life but celebrating being black and appreciating who we are will never be something I would consider saying sorry for. Thanks.
Actually I lied, I am sorry. I'm sorry for the people who cannot comprehend in their brains that this is not about exclusion, this is a celebration about how far we have come 🖤”
