    Gervonta Davis Is Undisputed Champ & Yeezy Is Fashion Genius | Divij's Den | Ep. 49

    NEW YORK -- Madonna. Michael Strahan. Tracy Morgan. Every time Gervonta Davis fights, the stars come out in droves.

    Saturday's lightweight event at Barclays Center was no different, as 18,970 people were in attendance to see "Tank" Davis send Rolando Romero crashing into the ropes for yet another highlight-reel finish with a sixth-round TKO.

    Davis proved once again he is one of the biggest stars in boxing. Barclays Center in Brooklyn? Sold out. His December fight versus Isaac Cruz at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles? Another packed house. No matter what city, no matter whom he faces, Davis has left no doubt he is one of the sport's most bankable athletes.

    Now, it's time for him to step up and fight one of the elite at 135 pounds, the weight class Davis said after Saturday's bout is his most comfortable.

    There's whomever emerges from next week's bout between George Kambosos Jr. and Devin Haney for the undisputed championship. The problem is, if Haney wins, Kambosos is entitled to an immediate rematch.

    But the biggest bout of them all at 135 pounds? Ryan Garcia.

    The win over Romero was the final bout of Davis' multifight deal with Mayweather Promotions. Tank indicated in the lead-up he is likely to part ways with Floyd Mayweather, who has been his promoter since 2015, in favor of the sort of flexibility Canelo Alvarez enjoys as a free agent. That would certainly remove any obstacles -- or excuses -- when it comes to pursuing the sort of high-level opponents Davis should be seeking.

    "He's been protected," Romero told ESPN on Wednesday. "Let's go down Gervonta's résumé from the time he won a world title. [Jose] Pedraza, weight-drained 130-pounder. Liam Walsh, chinny, weak U.K. fighter. Francisco Fonseca, who [Davis] hit behind the head and knocked him out in the eighth round.

    "Ryan Garcia knocked [Fonseca] out in one round like nothing. ... [Yuriorkis] Gamboa, who had both [Davis'] eyes shut. Then he fought [Leo] Santa Cruz, who's a 118-pounder who moved up to 126 then to 130 as a favor to [advisor] Al Haymon."

    Of course, Romero was being overly critical ahead of the fight, but he does make some salient points. Davis' best win to date remains that 2017 TKO of Pedraza to win his first title.

    Regardless of opposition, the talent is obvious. And on Saturday, Davis (27-0, 25 KOs) showed a new layer with the kind of patient strategy he employed round after round in the face of a dangerous puncher. He picked his shots. He held on when he felt Romero's power. It was a mature performance from an ever-growing fighter.

    "I know when to take it to my opponents and when to chill out," Davis, 27, said. "There was someone in the crowd ... and they were telling me to press forward, and I was like, 'Not yet. I got to loosen him up a little more.'"

  • Uvalde School Shooting Tragedy: A Discussion Around Gun Violence & Change | Divij’s Den | Ep. 48
    Uvalde School Shooting Tragedy: A Discussion Around Gun Violence & Change | Divij’s Den | Ep. 48 https://www.gofundme.com/f/kendall-olivarez https://www.gofundme.com/f/may-you-rest-in-peace-my-ellie-g https://www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-help-miah https://www.gofundme.com/f/layla-salazar-our-angel-in-heaven On May 24, 2022, 18-year-old Salvador Rolando Ramos fatally shot nineteen students and two teachers and wounded seventeen other people at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, United States. Earlier in the day, he shot his grandmother in the forehead at home, severely wounding her. Outside the school he fired shots for approximately five minutes,[4] before entering with an AR-15 style rifle through an open side entrance door without encountering armed resistance.[5][6] He then locked himself inside a classroom, killed nineteen students and two teachers, and remained there for around one hour before a United States Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) fatally shot him.[7] This was the third-deadliest American school shooting, after the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007 and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012,[8] and the deadliest in Texas.[9] Law enforcement officials were criticized for their actions in response to the shooting,[10] and their conduct is being reviewed in separate investigations by the Texas Ranger Division and the United States Department of Justice.[11] After initially praising first responders to the shooting, Texas Governor Greg Abbott called for an investigation of the lack of action by incident commanders. Police officers waited 78 minutes on-site before breaching the classroom to engage the shooter.[12] Police also cordoned off the school grounds, resulting in violent conflicts between police and civilians who were attempting to enter the school to rescue children.[13][14][15] Afterwards, local and state officials gave inaccurate reports of the timeline of police actions and overstated police actions.[16] The Texas Department of Public Safety acknowledged that it was an error for law enforcement to delay an assault on Ramos's position in the student-filled classroom, attributing this to the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District's police chief's assessment of the situation as one with a "barricaded subject" instead of an "active shooter".[17][18]
    Following the shooting, which took place only ten days after the 2022 Buffalo shooting at a supermarket,[19] wider discussions ensued about American gun culture and violence, gridlock in politics,[20] and law enforcement's failure to halt the attack. Some have advocated for a renewal of an assault weapons federal ban. Others criticized politicians for their perceived role in continuing to enable mass shootings.[21] Republicans have responded by resisting the implementation of gun control measures,[22][23] and called for increasing security measures in schools, such as arming teachers.[24][25] They also expressed concerns about the politicization of the shooting.[26][27][28] Some Republican senators expressed an openness for a bipartisan agreement on gun reform, such as incentivizing states to pass red flag laws and expanding background checks for gun purchasers.[29]

  • BREAKING NEWS: Taco Bell Is Bringing Back The Mexican Pizza | Divij's Den | Ep. 47
    BREAKING NEWS: Taco Bell Is Bringing Back The Mexican Pizza | Divij's Den | Ep. 47
    Taco Bell’s highly anticipated Mexican Pizza finally returns to menus Thursday following a roughly two-year hiatus.
    The beloved menu item was eliminated in November 2020 as part of a broader culling of Taco Bell’s menu during the height of the pandemic. That helped Taco Bell shed complexities and costs. But now, the $4.49 menu item is back – permanently – after fans demanded it.
    The Mexican Pizza consists of a tortilla shell filled pizza sauce and either beans or ground beef. It’s topped with another tortilla shell that’s smothered with more sauce, cheese and chopped tomatoes. Taco Bell introduced the item in 1985 and originally called it the “Pizzazz Pizza.”(CNN) - Taco Bell is bringing Mexican pizza back after a two-year absence from the menu.
    The pizza will be available to order starting Thursday, but fans can get it Wednesday through a special offer on the Taco Bell app.
    Taco Bell CEO Mark King said last month its Mexican pizza has a long history with the fast-food chain and customers have been calling for its return. Taco Bell announced last month that the fan-favorite item would be coming back.
    Taco Bell is also joining forces with Dolly Parton and Doja Cat for a musical inspired by the Mexican pizza. It will make its debut on TikTok later this month.
    After an absence of more than a year, Taco Bell has brought back its Mexican Pizza. The fan-favorite item is in Taco Bell locations nationwide on May 19.
    To promote its cross-cultural creation, the restaurant chain is offering a delivery discount through DoorDash. It's also premiering Mexican Pizza: The Musical on TikTok later this month. According to Taco Bell, the satirical number will feature Doja Cat, Dolly Parton and TikTok influencer Victor Kunda, among others.
    Last month, Cat first tweeted out the news that the dish was coming back.

  • The Crypto Market Is F*cked & Elon Musk Is Sending Nudes To Mars | Divij’s Den | Ep. 46
    The Crypto Market Is F*cked & Elon Musk Is Sending Nudes To Mars | Divij’s Den | Ep. 46 Despite bitcoin’s violent sell off, Microstrategy CEO Michael Saylor is holding firm. The bitcoin bull said he’s in it for the long term and his strategy is to buy and hold the cryptocurrency.
    “There's no price target,” Saylor told Yahoo Finance Live. “I expect we'll be buying bitcoin at the local top forever. And I expect bitcoin is going to go into the millions. So we're very patient. We think it's the future of money.”
    Saylor said bitcoin has sold off with other risk assets like stocks as the Federal Reserve has moved to raise interest rates, and investors have sold off riskier assets or assets with valuations that had soared. That, Saylor said, is separate from the meltdown of stablecoin TerraUSD and its sister token Luna, which he thinks will accelerate efforts to regulate stablecoins and security tokens. Saylor also thinks that since most cryptocurrencies aren’t registered securities, that’s preventing public companies and investors from investing in them and holding back the asset class as a whole.
    Saylor on the future of payments
    While Saylor believes bitcoin is the future of money, he thinks Lightning—a network applied to bitcoin that enables the cryptocurrency to scale up its ability to do transactions more efficiently— is the future of payments.
    “If you're going to do payments and transactions high speed, you're going to need a base layer that's ethically sound, economically sound, and technically sound,” he said. “That's what Bitcoin is. But then billions and billions of transactions are going to go on a layer 2 like Lightning.”Bitcoin is on a wild ride.
    The world’s largest cryptocurrency soared to $68,990 last November. Now, it’s at around $29,000 — a staggering 58% pullback from the peak.
    If the downtrend continues, Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki says he’s ready to start buying.
    “BITCOIN CRASHING. Great news,” he tweeted last week. “I am waiting for Bitcoin to crash to 20k. Will then wait for test of bottom which might be $17k. Once I know bottom is in I back up the truck. Crashes are the best times to get rich.”Kiyosaki added that bitcoin “is the future of money” and that its bottom may be even lower at $11,000.
    In today’s market environment, it’s not easy to be a contrarian investor. But if you share Kiyosaki’s view, here are three simple ways to capitalize on bitcoin's potential rebound.
    Sign up for our MoneyWise newsletter to receive a steady flow of actionable ideas from Wall Street's top firms.
    Buy bitcoin directly
    The first option is the most straightforward: If you want to buy bitcoin, just buy bitcoin.
    These days, many platforms allow individual investors to buy and sell crypto. Just be aware that some exchanges charge up to 4% in commission fees for each transaction. So look for apps that charge low or even no commissions. While bitcoin commands a five-figure price tag today, there’s no need to buy a whole coin. Most exchanges allow you to start with as much money as you are willing to spend.
    Bitcoin ETFs
    Exchange-traded funds have risen in popularity in recent years. They trade on stock exchanges, so it’s very convenient to buy and sell them. And now, investors can use them to get a piece of the bitcoin action, too.
    For instance, ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO) started trading on NYSE Arca in October 2021, marking the first U.S. bitcoin-linked ETF on the market. The fund holds bitcoin futures contracts that trade on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and has an expense ratio of 0.95%. There’s also the Valkyrie Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BTF), which made its debut a few days after BITO. This Nasdaq-listed ETF invests in bitcoin futures contracts, and charges an expense ratio of 0.95%.
    Bitcoin stocks
    When companies tie some of their growth to the crypto market, their shares can often move in tandem with the coins.

  • Young Thug Hit WIth RICO Charges, Miami/F1 Recap | Divij's Den | Ep. 45

    Young Thug Hit WIth RICO Charges, Miami/F1 Recap| Divij's Den | Ep. 45

    Young Thug Hit WIth RICO Charges, Miami/F1 Recap| Divij's Den | Ep. 45  https://instagram.com/divijvaswani [email protected] video: https://www.instagram.com/christianyi_/  Grammy-winning rapper Young Thug’s lyrics are being cited as evidence in a sweeping 56-count gang indictment, again raising a debate over whether lyrics are protected free speech.  According to the 88-page indictment obtained by CNN, lyrics from the rapper’s popular songs – including “Slime Sh*t,” “Original Slime Sh*t,” and “Anybody” – were used as examples of “overt acts,” some of which constitute racketeering. Prosecutors allege that Young Thug, real name Jeffery Williams, founded the gang Young Slime Life in late 2012 and was a key figure in various YSL activities. Rapper Gunna, real name Sergio Giovanni Kitchens, is also charged in the document. Williams was arrested at his home in Atlanta on Monday, police said.  Most notably, prosecutors said that in 2015, Williams rented an Infiniti Q50 sedan from Hertz, which was later used in the murder of a rival gang member. There are also references that paint Williams as the leader of the YSL gang, as two associates discussed how to obtain his permission to attempt to murder rapper YFN Lucci while he was incarcerated.   “I’m prepared to take them down,” “murder gang sh*t,” and “I never killed anybody but I got something to do with that body” are just a few of the dozens of lines referenced in the indictment.  Lyrics from other popular rappers referencing ties to Young Slime Life are also quoted in the indictment, along with social media posts.  Williams has been booked into the Fulton County jail and charged with conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and participation in criminal street gang activity.  This isn’t the first time song lyrics have been used by criminal prosecutors. In 2019, prosecutors questioned Brooklyn rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine about lyrics for his song “GUMMO,” asking if it included threats to rivals. In 2017, prosecutors tried to use Drakeo the Ruler’s “Flex Freestyle” as evidence that he conspired to murder another rapper.  Not everyone supports allowing prosecutors to use lyrics as evidence. In “Rap on Trial: Race, Lyrics and Guilt in America” by Erik Nielson and Andrea L. Dennis, rapper Killer Mike argues that rap as an art form is a safe space where raw emotions can and should be expressed.  “Left unchecked, it has the potential to silence a generation of artists who are exercising their First Amendment right to express themselves,” he wrote. “These are voices we should be encouraging, yet our criminal justice system has consistently looked for ways to punish them.” Killer Mike also noted that other artists from genres other than rap are often celebrated for their dark lyrics, while rappers are vilified.Last year, state senators in New York introduced the bill “Rap Music on Trial,” which would prevent art – including song lyrics – from being used as evidence in criminal cases. Jay-Z, Meek Mill, Big Sean and Kelly Rowland all supported the bill, as did other musicians.  But Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis sees it differently.

  • The Recession Is Here… And DaBaby Is Cancelled | Divij’s Den | Ep. 44
    The Recession Is Here… And DaBaby Is Cancelled | Divij’s Den | Ep. 44 With inflation at the highest level in 40 years and the Federal Reserve taking increasingly aggressive action to cool consumer demand and prices, the risk of a global recession is on the rise, according to Morgan Stanley economists.
    In a Monday analyst note, the bank strategists – led by Seth Carpenter – said they have dramatically reduced their global growth outlook over the past three months as inflationary pressures have climbed and fears of a global recession have grown.
    HOW THE FEDERAL RESERVE MISSED THE MARK ON SURGING INFLATION
    "We live in the most chaotic, hard-to-predict macroeconomic times in decades," Carpenter wrote in the note. "The ingredients for a global recession are on the table." Economic growth in the U.S. is already slowing: The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported earlier this month that gross domestic product unexpectedly shrank in the first quarter of the year, marking the worst performance since the spring of 2020, when the economy was still deep in the throes of the COVID-induced recession.
    Still, a recession is not the base outlook for the Morgan Stanley strategists, who noted that business investment and consumer spending remained strong in the first three months of the year. In order for there to be a global recession, the economists said there needs to be a scenario where all energy imports from Russia, including natural gas, are cut off abruptly.
    And while the Fed is taking action to tame inflation by raising interest rates at the fastest pace in decades, the Morgan Stanley economists predicted that policymakers would "reverse course" at the first sign of doing too much.
    "We would need a European contraction to hit the US economy after enough frontloaded policy tightening is in train to trigger a recession," Carpenter said. "The alignment of those unlucky stars is possible, hence the rising risk, but it is not something I would count on."The analyst note comes less than one week after the Fed voted unanimously to increase the interbank lending rate by a half-basis point for the first time in two decades as it ratchets up the fight to combat inflation. Chairman Jerome Powell all but promised two more similarly sized hikes at the Fed's coming meetings in June and July as policymakers seek to "expeditiously" get overnight borrowing costs to a neutral range of 2.25% to 2.5%.
    Current market pricing shows that traders expect the rate to rise to 3.0% and 3.25% by the end of the year, according to CME Group data, which tracks trading. That would mean the Fed raises rates at every meeting for the rest of the year. Rolling Loud Miami 2021’s final day on July 25 was packed with highly anticipated performances from Megan Thee Stallion, Post Malone, and many others, but it was DaBaby‘s set that immediately dominated headlines and for days after.
    DaBaby, who took the Ciroc Stage right after Meg, surprised attendees by bringing out Tory Lanez. The year prior, the “Savage” singer had accused Lanez of shooting her in the foot. But the “Rockstar” rapper didn’t stop there, and what came next fueled criticism: In clips from the livestreamed performance, DaBaby made homophobic and misogynistic comments.
    “If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up,” he told attendees. “Ladies, if your p—- smell like water, put your cellphone lighter up. Fellas, if you ain’t sucking d— in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up.”
    Read on to see how things unfolded after his remarks.

  • Dave Chappelle Attacked, Supreme Court Changing Abortion Rights, & Met Gala | Divij’s Den | Ep. 43
    Dave Chappelle Attacked, Supreme Court Overturns Abortion Rights, & Met Gala | Divij’s Den | Ep. 43 The armed man who is accused of attacking Dave Chappelle on stage at the Hollywood Bowl will not face felony charges, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office said Thursday.
    Isaiah Lee, 23, was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon after tackling the comedian Tuesday night. Lee is being held on $30,000 bail. It's unclear what motivated Lee to run onto the stage. The county D.A.'s office referred the case to the L.A. City Attorney for possible misdemeanor charges instead. County prosecutors determined that while criminal conduct occurred "the evidence as presented did not constitute felony conduct."
    Police said Lee was armed with a replica handgun-knife when he ran onto the stage and tackled Chappelle. Witness video shows Chappelle falling back but he managed to quickly free himself as security rushed out to grab the attacker. Michigan doctors say when Roe is overturned a "dormant" state law could outlaw abortion even for rape or incest. The Democratic state AG warns local prosecutors may charge both doctors and patients. Affectionately referred to as “fashion’s biggest night out,” the Met Gala 2022 is a fundraising benefit for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The event welcomes stars, young creatives, and industry paragons. The Costume Institute is hosting its first two-part exhibition, on the theme of American fashion, during 2021 and 2022. Part one, “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” opened in the Anna Wintour Costume Center on September 18, 2021, and “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” opens on May 5, 2022 in the period rooms of the American Wing. Both shows will be on display through September 5, 2022. Bookmark this page for exhibition and gala news and to enjoy Vogue’s coverage of past events’ biggest moments. Elon Musk has brought in new investors to fund his Twitter deal, a filing shows.
    The filing lists a number of investment firms and others backers who will contribute $7 billion to the deal. Elon Musk has brought in more than a dozen new investors to help fund his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, including the billionaire Larry Ellison and the venture capital firm Sequoia Capital, according to securities documents filed Thursday morning.
    The investors together will contribute $7 billion to help fund Twitter’s purchase, with the rest coming from Mr. Musk’s own pocket or through loans.
    Mr. Musk had said that he would fund the deal in part with a $12.5 billion loan against his shares in Tesla The 18 investors listed in Thursday’s filing are a mix of big names such as Fidelity as well as so-called family offices — firms that manage the wealth of billionaires and other rich individuals. Binance, the cryptocurrency exchange, is contributing $500 million, while an entity affiliated with Mr. Ellison, the Oracle co-founder, is investing $1 billion. Sequoia is putting up $800 million, and Qatar Holding, a sovereign wealth fund, is contributing $375 million. The new funds could give investors more confidence that the deal will close, as a number of investors have been betting against that likelihood, particularly given the amount of capital that Mr. Musk may personally be on the hook for, along with his unpredictable nature. The deal is not set to close for three to six months, and Mr. Musk must pay a $1 billion breakup fee if his financing falls apart.
    “This was a smart financial and strategic move by Musk that will be well received across the board,” Daniel Ives, a managing director and analyst at the investment firm Wedbush.
