Richard Jefferson was a journeymen player in the NBA and even got to win a championship with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers all the way back in 2016. Now, Jefferson is an analyst for ESPN and he can be seen on various shows giving his opinions. Jefferson is a pretty strongminded guy and never holds back how he truly feels about a player or a team. His argumentative nature comes across well on TV and his insight is always welcomed.
Jefferson also has a humorous side to him which typically comes through on social media. Yesterday, Jefferson showed off his in-person wit after a fan asked him to say "hi" to his wife on camera. Instead, Jefferson said "I'll text her" in a moment of pure Chadism.
The fan didn't seem to mind the comment and even found it funny as he posted the clip to social media where it quickly got picked up by numerous outlets. Jefferson's quick response made the whole situation a lot funnier especially when you consider how everyone around him was completely oblivious to what was just said.
If you're the fan, you have to hope he's joking because if he's not, then that conversation at home is going to be awkward.
Keri Hilson Admits That She’s Washed, But Her Career Isn’t Over
Keri Hilson is self-aware about her position, but she’ll still clap-back at her haters.
Keri Hilson‘s debut album, In A Perfect World… (2009), spawned a new R&B starlet that would land her first-ever studio album at the number four spot on the Billboard Hot 200 Albums chart. With multiple hit singles like “Turnin’ Me On,” “I Like,” and more, the Decatur, GA-bred singer/songwriter was nominated for two Grammys upon her entry into the music industry. Unfortunately, multiple bouts of depression caused her to take a nearly decade long hiatus from the limelight before she revealed she’s working on new music in 2018. It’s been two years since that revelation as she’s experienced multiple obstacles obstructing her from creating a release-worthy project including the death of her father and failed business relationships. However, with social media being as draining and negative as ever, certain individuals tend to fancy reminding Keri Hilson of her musical pitfalls.
Under one of her recent Instagram posts, Hilson displayed a level of transparency and vulnerability many artists tend to distance themselves from. The “Covers Blown” singer admitted to going through the ups-and-downs of life and not being completely in control of her current circumstances. One of Hilson’s bozo followers left a distasteful comment of her glowing selfie stating:
“Your career over with, you ain’t have a hit in (nine) years, you washed up.”
To which the award-winning songstress clapped-back replying:
“Chiiile, I KNOW! You’re probably trying to hurt my feelings w/ that but I’ve long accepted I’m in that category… for now. But lemme correct you here: I haven’t ‘had a hit’ because I haven’t put out ANYTHING, not because I put out flops. And my career is far from over. I do hope you stay tuned this year.”
With major personalities like Jennifer Lopez, Dave Chappelle, and more currently on their second act, there’s no reason to count someone as musically talented and aesthetically pleasing as Keri Hilson out. It’s a new year and decade, the possibilities are endless for Keri Hilson to reemerge as an OG in this new renaissance era of R&B with a plethora of individual personalities that have all made lanes for themselves in their own unique way.
This isn’t the first time that Keri Hilson has had to check a “fan” and it won’t be the last. Check out Ms. Hilson’s epic clap-back in the Instagram post provided below.
Dez Bryant Claps Back At Fan For Joking About Him Having CTE
CTE is nothing to joke about.
Head trauma has been a huge source of debate in the contact sports world over the past few years. After a few football players took their own lives, research was conducted in order to find out what was going on inside of their heads. The ensuing research resulted in the discovery of a brain disease called CTE. The disease is caused by repeated head trauma and can only be detected after someone has died. NFL players are particularly susceptible to the disease because of the repeated hits to the head. Despite the severity of the disease, fans continue to use it as an insult when a player exhibits unusual behavior.
Former NFL star Dez Bryant was the recipient of this insult during a recent Twitter exchange. Bryant made a suggestion about Eli Manning to the Cleveland Browns which prompted a fan to tell him "CTE hittin different." Of course, Bryant took exception to this and set the fan straight.
"On some real shit why people use the word CTE like it’s a thing to say? thats not a joke thing or word to be throwing around lightly... soon as a player say fuck you.. don’t be on that victim shit...but this exactly why I live and not care what others think," Bryant wrote.
Fans on Twitter can be pretty ruthless so it shouldn't come as a surprise that someone overstepped their bounds like this. Some people just don't know when to quit although it was good to see Bryant use his platform to bring some seriousness to the issue.
