Jim Jones Is Cool With Ciara Pressing Him To Marry Longtime Girlfriend Chrissy, Social Media Disagrees

Remember back in the days when people could 'pull your coattails' to something in a kind and respectful way, and you took in the advice gracefully? Well, that's what happened in a surprisingly cordial exchange between Ciara and rapper/reality star Jim Jones at the BET Awards on Monday night.
Cici jumped into a conversation Jones was having with The Breakfast Club in their media space at the awards, telling him he should stop playing and put a ring on it, in so many words. She was referring to his long-delayed engagement to girlfriend Chrissy Lampkin, which has played out over multiple VH1 reality shows, mostly Love & Hip Hop New York and its spinoff show, Chrissy and Mr. Jones.
Per multiple reports, the longtime couple, who don't have children, have been together for 20 years. Chrissy just celebrated her 54th birthday last month. Jones will be 49 in July. Over the years, they've gotten engaged twice but never did the deed. Chrissy's contentious relationship with Jones's overbearing mother has been one of the reasons, as well as Jones's reluctance to marry. In 2019, Lumpkin appeared on Love & Hip Hop and said that tying the knot was no longer a big deal.
Ciara's unsolicited take on the situation could have been met with hostility, but she does have a frame of reference. She and her husband, NFL quarterback Russell Wilson, are celebrating ten years together in July. They have three children together, and Ciara's oldest child, Future, is from a previous relationship with the rap star of the same name.
'Why not?' Ciara said as she sat down next to Jones. 'Like y'all have lived life in every capacity anyone could live it in. You're living like you've already done it, so let's just seal it properly because you know what? She deserves it. You deserve it. Why not? I look at y'all and I'm like, they're so, he is so fly, Chrissy is so beautiful and so dope and she holds you down, like down down down. This is the spirit talking through me right here.'
Well, Ciara does have a point, given the length of time the two have been dating. And Jones acknowledged it when The Breakfast Club host Loren LaRosa asked him about it.
'It was a great piece of advice,' he said. 'Honestly, I needed that encouragement. I needed to hear that. Especially from somebody who's active in preaching what she's teaching. A lot of people have so many different opinions, and they're nowhere near marriage or any type of great relationship or in any position to give me any type of advice about what I should be doing.'

Bill Belichick-Jordon Hudson drama revealed in new emails

Emails obtained by WRAL show Bill Belichick addressing the controversy over his romantic and professional relationship with Jordon Hudson. The relationship between the legendary coach and the 24-year-old model has drawn national scrutiny after a controversial "CBS Sunday Morning" interview. Hudson declared, "We're not talking about that" when Belichick was asked about how the couple met. Belichick claimed in one email that CBS "secretly" had a camera focused on Hudson despite the model requesting to sit off camera. "Secretly, CBS had a camera focused on Jordon where Lead producer Gabe instructed her to sit," Belichick reportedly wrote. Belichick elaborated on why the question of how they met was not answered. "I met Jordon randomly on a flight to Palm Beach in 2021. That is no secret. Jordon was not dodging the specific question regarding how we met, but rather was preventing the interview from continuing to probe into personal matters," the email said. Belichick also addressed why Hudson was present at the interview to begin with. He believed the interview would be focused on his book, "The Art of Winning: Lessons from a Life in Football." "Jordon was present at the CBS interview because David Kass, the Simon & Schuster publicist, was not there," Belichick wrote, referring to the publisher of his book. "I included Jordon in the book acknowledgments because she was a creative contributor to the book, including having the idea for formatting the 4 special pages in the book." In another email, Belichick addressed reports that he requested to have Hudson copied on every email sent to him. "Jordon and I have both a personal & professional relationship," Belchick wrote in the email. "This is not a secret. Jordon assists me with my personal media, which is why I asked UNC to forward media requests (E.G. CBS 60 Minutes) to her. Jordon has zero involvement in the UNC football program, beyond the degree that my personal media intersects with it." Belichick released a statement saying he was "surprised" about getting the questions about his relationship and that when Hudson had stepped in, she was doing her job. He went on to accuse CBS of creating a "false narrative" with so-called "selectively edited clips." CBS responded, disagreeing with Belichick's version of events. In a separate interview with ESPN, Belichick insisted Hudson is not involved with UNC football.

Sam LaPorta is heading into his third season as a star tight end for the Detroit Lions, looking to build off two impressive campaigns to begin his NFL career. Advertisement In 33 regular-season game appearances for the Lions, LaPorta reeled in 146 catches for 1,615 yards and 17 touchdowns. The former second-round draft pick will now look to continue that impressive production in Detroit's upcoming 2025 season. Off the field, LaPorta has had a busy offseason following Year 2 in the NFL. This past Saturday, the 24-year-old tight end married his longtime partner Callahan Dellinger. LaPorta and his newly-wed wife shared the news of their wedding ceremony with a joint Instagram post on Sunday. "A house built on rock.6/14/25," the couple wrote. Friends flooded the comments section with reactions to this news. One of the most notable reactions was from San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle. Advertisement "Congrats !!" Kittle wrote in the comments. LaPorta and Kittle both famously played their college football careers as standout tight ends for the Iowa Hawkeyes.

"I like the other tight ends too, but I spent two weeks training with Sam LaPorta, and the way he moves -- oh yeah, he's got the dog in him. He's kind of quirky, he's kind of goofy, too. He's going to fit in well.' LaPorta and the Lions will kickoff their 2025 regular-season schedule with a Week 1 matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Sep. 7.

Shanahan's Favorite Rapper Name-Drops Rival Coach on New Album

Shanahan's Favorite Rapper Name-Drops Rival Coach on New Album originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kyle Shanahan is a huge Lil Wayne fan. So much so, that the San Francisco 49ers head coach reportedly named his son Carter after the rapper, whose full name is Dwayne Carter Jr. Advertisement When Lil Wayne released his new album, Tha Carter VI, you bet Shanahan was excited to tune in. But he might've been blindsided by the record's second track, "Welcome to Tha Carter", where "Weezy" drops a line about a particular NFL coach. "Smokin' that bomb LA like I'm McVay." Shanahan goes way back with Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay, and the latter just picked up another edge on his buddy by getting name dropped in song. Not to mention by Shanahan's favorite artist. That's brutal. The rest of McVay's resume also includes another bullet point that Shanahan is desperately pursuing: a Super Bowl title. Advertisement In 2021, McVay's Rams defeated Shanahan's 49ers in the NFC Championship game to advance and play the Cincinnati Bengals in the big game. Los Angeles would win Super Bowl LVI in their home SoFi Stadium 23-20. If Shanahan needed any more motivation after last year's 6-11 record, this call out to his division rival should do the trick. The 49ers have all the weapons to return to contention as long as they stay healthy. Christian McCaffrey is poised to return with vengeance. Cornerstones Brock Purdy, Fred Warner and George Kittle are locked down long term. And once Brandon Aiyuk returns near mid-season, the arsenal will be fully loaded to make a deep run. If the 49ers can capture that elusive Super Bowl championship, maybe Lil Wayne will check the next thing off Shanahan's bucket list with a shoutout. Advertisement The NFC West rival Rams won't be a slouch, coming off a 10-7 season and playoff win. They also reinforced their receiving unit by adding Davante Adams. The 49ers and Rams will first meet in Week 5 on Thursday Night Football in LA. Grab your popcorn. And turn the speakers up.
