Nicki Minaj Flames Shannon Sharpe And Jay-Z On New 'Banned From NO' Remix

Nicki Minaj hops on the remix of Lil Wayne's track ' Banned From NO, ' a fan favorite from his ' Tha Carter VI ' album.
While the queen wasn't on the original version, she's now back with some hard-hitting bars, and a few surprising shots at some well-known names.
One line that's getting a lot of attention is aimed at sports commentator Shannon Sharpe. Nicki raps, ''Bout to cop you slides, all you do is flip-flop, if I send a pic of Shannon, you ain't that Sharpe.' Many fans were confused at first, wondering why she would call him out. But Nicki later explained that years ago, Sharpe tweeted 'Nicki who?' in a shady way. She clearly didn't forget, and now she's firing back in a verse. She even joked that she almost threw a shot at Chad Ochocinco too, since he's often on shows with Sharpe, but decided not to.
Nicki also took a subtle jab at Jay-Z and the NFL. This year's Super Bowl was held in New Orleans, Lil Wayne's hometown, and many fans were upset that he wasn't picked to perform at halftime. Instead, the NFL chose Kendrick Lamar. Nicki called it out in her lyrics, saying, *'NFL, fire some n*ggas and then call us,' hinting that the league only works with Black artists when it benefits them. She didn't mention Jay-Z by name, but since he helps run the NFL's entertainment deals, many believe the line was allegedly directed at him.
Whether she's defending Lil Wayne or settling old scores, Nicki proves once again that she's not afraid to speak her mind, and still knows how to grab everyone's attention.
Take a look at some of the funniest reactions from the Barbz to Nicki Minaj sounding off on Shannon Sharpe and Jay-Z below.

'Can someone tell me when you're supposed to stop wiping your kids' butts?' Kylie pondered. 'I could be about to get dragged on the Internet … all the moms out there, can you tell me so that we can sort of add them all up and get the average of when we should stop wiping their butts specifically for poop? Okay? Don't come for me." Noting that she doesn't trust her young children to properly wipe and wash their hands, Kylie shared that she taught her kids to call for them when they're going No. 2. 'That's the soundtrack of my life right there,' she said of the call. 'This happens probably anywhere from two times minimum, six times maximum a day. It is legitimately something that I hear in my — I was gonna say dreams, but let's be honest, that's a nightmare.' Read the original article on People

Museum of Greatness unveils $200 million collection of 'iconic' memorabilia

Game-used memorabilia and rare cards are on display from some of sports' top athletes in history. (Credit: cllct photo/Will Stern) NEW YORK — 'Iconic.' That's how Nick Connolly, Fanatics VP and head of collector relations, described the standard for inclusion at the 'Museum of Greatness.' The 10,500-square-foot exhibit on display for Fanatics Fest this weekend at the Javits Center in Midtown Manhattan is estimated to be worth $200 million — likely the most expensive collection of memorabilia ever put together. Advertisement Much of these pieces have not been seen publicly in years, if ever. It also makes a case for the most significant by any other standard, especially historic value. Walking in, past the countless security guards defending the treasures, it's easy for anyone — regardless of their experience with collectibles — to feel the weight of the items sitting in the display cases. It starts with Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle. Ruth is represented by a 1918 Red Sox game-used bat, one of the earliest in the hobby. Mantle is seen through a photographers' lens by two of the most valuable Type 1 photos and their associated trading cards, the 1951 Bowman and 1952 Topps. One of the more remarkable and complete collections of unopened wax boxes and packs, from vintage baseball to football, in BBCE cellophane and PSA slabs, comes next. Logan Paul's Pokémon Illustrator, an embarrassment of riches containing some of the most valuable '90s insert cards ever created (PMGs) and, perhaps most impressive of all, a complete collection of Tom Brady's victorious Super Bowl game-used jerseys, on loan from the man himself, are all highlights. Advertisement 'People were excited because they wanted to display [their collections] for everyone,' Connolly said, describing the curation process, which largely involved dealing with individual and private collectors. 'Once the marketing was done it was actually very fun because we actually got a lot of inbound of people saying 'Oh, I have this, I'd like to display it.'' No collectibles exhibit would be complete without the T206 Honus Wagner, which sits alone in a display case. Rounding out the collection is Michael Jordan's game-used Game 3 jersey from the 1998 'Last Dance' NBA Finals, the sister to the Game 1 jersey which sold for a record $10.1 million. Fanatics also managed to procure more than 50 MLB Debut Patch Autograph cards, its creation which its CEO Michael Rubin recently called the greatest innovation in the history of trading cards. Advertisement 'The fact we could get a Honus Wagner, a Mickey Mantle and 50 Debut Parches all in one place … I think that's very special,' Connolly said. 'This is the perfect way, whatever stage you're at [as a collector] to take one step further.' Will Stern is a reporter and editor for cllct, the premier company for collectible culture.

The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Deserve It All—and More

Well before the second season of America's Sweethearts premiered on Netflix this week, I knew what I wanted to say about it. In November, I'd spent a game day embedded with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders as the Cowboys played the Texans—though 'day' isn't exactly right. The squad worked for more than 12 hours straight, pulling a shift that stretched from Monday morning to the early hours of Tuesday. Sure, some of that time was spent on buses to and from the Star, the Cowboys' headquarters in Frisco, Texas, and some was spent on hair and makeup. (The cheerleaders are responsible for their own professional-level glam, which demands a lot of powder and a lot of time wielding a Dyson.) But most of those hours were spent dancing: 'Thunderstuck,' their pre-kick-off routine, involves both a 50-yard sprint in under eight seconds (in cowboy boots!) and chorus line jump splits. By the end of the night, the whole team was dripping in sweat and covered in blisters, their pantyhose ripped from their high kicks. Many required trainers for various muscle ailments, or to help wrap their ankles. There were dozens of ice packs, foam rollers, and empty Gatorade bottles scattered across the locker-room floor. But there would be no rest for the pom-pom weary: They had practice the next day, and the day after that. They had all the football games, the corporate shows, the press junkets, and the Cowboys Christmas Spectacular. They had major appearances with Kacey Musgraves, at the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix, and at Mike Tyson's fight with Jake Paul in Las Vegas. Netflix camera crews were everywhere, as was our team from Vogue. Everyone stood to profit from their glamorous image—everyone, that is, except for the cheerleaders themselves. Their pay was about $15 an hour and $500 for each appearance. Most had to support themselves with other jobs. They did not have health insurance. Once upon a time, that made a kind of sense. The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader squad as we now know it came about in the 1970s. It was advertised as a part-time gig: You had a few practices during the week and performed during the Sunday games. Half a century later, between Monday Night Football, Thursday Night Football, Pro Bowls, and countless more events, the DCCC are working 30 to 40 hours a week for much of the year, and the Cowboys franchise is worth $11 billion dollars—three billion more than any other team in the National Football League. Their branding as 'America's team,' complete with an unabashed commitment to a stars-and-stripes, yeehaw aesthetic, has made their image endlessly exportable and mineable. Go anywhere in the world, and people know about the Dallas Cowboys—whether they're winning or not. (In 2024, their record was 7-10.)
