Listen Later

There were certainly some undeniable trending moments that occurred to let ya'll know for this week's show!  It looks like rappers, Too Short and E-40 will face off in the last ‘Verzuz’ of 2020. Fans were disappointed this weekend when Ashanti and Keyshia Cole’s battle was canceled due to Ashanti contracting COVID-19. She later got on IG Live with Cole to discuss the cancellation. Verzuz then officially announced that the R&B legends would face-to-face on Jan. 9. The final Verzuz of the year will go down on Saturday, December 19, at 5PM PT / 8PM ET. In related news, the Game is yet to step into the Verzuz arena... and now he says the only rapper he would be prepared to battle would be his former label boss and rival, 50 Cent. That would be interesting! K. Michelle says she is preparing to sue Maino next month for statements he made about her a while back. Maino claimed that K. Michelle's feminine parts were smelly -- but K. Michelle says it's a lie. She says he has no basis for his remarks. They never even slept together and "he could get this lawsuit." This looks like it may get ugly, lol! Youtuber Jake Paul is offering retired fighter Conor McGregor a massive $50 million to step into the ring with him. Jake went on to call Dana White, the President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship a "f*cking p*ssy" for saying the fight will never happen. "Conor, you're scared. Dana, you're scared. Sign the f*cking contract you idiots... Irish b*tch." Wow! JAY-Z’s Roc Nation and Random House are teaming up to launch a literary publishing partnership titled Roc Lit 101. The company’s first wave of releases are expected to arrive in the summer of 2021, as readers can expect Roc Lit 101 to deeply explore an array of subjects with a unique lens including in the areas of “music, sports, pop culture, activism and art.” One World books editor-in-chief Chris Jackson, who published JAYZ’s Decoded book in 2010, will oversee the Roc Lit 101 imprint’s operation. Rapper, 2 Chainz launches "Money Maker Fund" Youtube series and awards $55K to Black entrepreneurs. The Money Maker Fund consists of five episodes airing from Monday (December 14) through Friday (December 18), and features HBCU students and alumni pitching their business ideas to 2 Chainz, who put $55,000 into the best ones. This is definitely a great initiative! Giannis Antetokounmpo was already rich as hell but now he’s SUPER f***ing rich. The Milwaukee Bucks big man just signed a historic new contract according to ESPN with the biggest contract in NBA history for 5-years at $228 million! If you’re keeping score at home that means Giannis is clockin’ a tick under $46 million per season. Must be nice. Just nine months after the United States became a part of the global coronavirus pandemic, health workers across the nation have begun administering a vaccine to halt the spread of COVID-19. This morning, critical care nurse Sandra Lindsay became the first Black woman/person in the U.S. to receive the vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech when she was injected at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New York. For the "HOT TAKE" this week, we up and coming comedian from Philly in the building, "King Buhzzie!" Check him out everywhere for the latest and greatest @buhzztaylorcomedy.
