Shaquille O’Neal is facing backlash after appearing on stage with FBI Director Kash Patel and accepting an honorary FBI credential during an event where Shaq was reportedly helping provide meals to hundreds of law enforcement officers.

But for many people, the bigger issue is Kash Patel himself. Patel remains a highly controversial figure, over criticism surrounding the Trump administration’s handling and release of records connected to Jeffrey Epstein. So when Shaq stood alongside Patel and accepted the honor, some longtime supporters questioned why he would associate himself with him.

Colin Kaepernick sat down with Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes, hosts of the All The Smoke podcast, and for the first time in an interview, Colin sheds light on Nolan Xavier Wells’ autopsy, and nothing could make me more proud.

We know Colin Kaepernick paid for Nolan’s second, independent autopsy performed by Dr. Roger Mitchell Jr. During this interview, Colin speaks about the fact that Nolan’s lungs and throat structures were not available for Dr. Mitchell’s examination and that crucial questions surrounding Nolan’s passing remain unanswered.

Converse is facing immense backlash over a controversial ad campaign that has horrified and angered many people in the Black community.

When Converse was initially contacted by The Washington Post, the company reportedly had no comment. But as the controversy spread online and the backlash intensified, Converse finally responded with an apology.

But an apology is not enough.

The same way we rejected Target’s apology, we are rejecting Converse’s apology. We are demanding accountability and transparency about how this campaign was created and approved in the...

We now have three more powerful billionaire NFL owners being named in the growing Robert Kraft, Ed Sheeran and Macklemore controversy.

According to new reporting, Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper, Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank and Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie backed New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s position against Macklemore remaining on Ed Sheeran’s tour.

And the timing could not be more interesting.

Ed Sheeran’s next stop is this Saturday in Philadelphia at Lincoln Financial Field, home of Jeffrey Lurie’s Philadelphia Eagles.

Last night, Tamera Nealy announced that Nolan Wells’ former friends Warren Hudson, Jax Pitalo and Morgan Seymour, through their attorney Edward Andrew Paltzik, are now targeting The View’s Sunny Hostin with a presuit defamation demand letter.

Sunny Hostin is now the second major public figure to receive one of these letters, following Rev. Al Sharpton.

But Edward Paltzik didn’t simply send the letter and leave it there. Tamera turned the announcement into an entire YouTube Live event.

The livestream started at 8 PM, and it took nearly...

JAY-Z AND ROC NATION WIN AGAIN! Colin Kaepernick sat down with Van Lathan and Rachel Lindsay on the Higher Learning podcast, and to the world’s surprise, and especially to my shock, neither Van Lathan, Rachel Lindsay nor Colin Kaepernick brought up Jay-Z’s name.

For those who don’t know, Van Lathan was the first person to confirm to us that Roc Nation and Jay-Z were allegedly trying to seed negative stories and hit pieces about Colin Kaepernick while Van was with TMZ.

That was years ago, but now Co...

Ed Sheeran made a statement after dropping Macklemore from his Loop Tour, and his response may have made an already bad situation 10 times worse.

The backlash is now reaching Washington. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, better known as AOC, says she’ll change the channel if Ed Sheeran comes on the radio, while criticizing the pressure that led to Macklemore being removed from the tour.

And it doesn’t stop there.

Every supporting act scheduled for Ed’s upcoming tour dates has now walked away. Aaron Rowe, Lukas Graham and FI...

Ed Sheeran just kicked Macklemore off the Loop Tour after PINK exposed Macklemore’s views on Palestine and Robert Kraft reportedly got other stadium owners together to put pressure on Ed to remove Macklemore from the tour.

While PINK can have her opinion, Robert Kraft can have his opinion, and Macklemore can have his opinion, I feel like Ed Sheeran is the one to blame here.

Ed has been friends with Macklemore for 13 years, and Macklemore has been very open about his stance on Israel and Palestine for the pa...

Colin Kaepernick sat down with Jemele Hill to promote his upcoming book, The Perilous Fight, and for the first time publicly, we see Colin exposing Jay-Z in 4K.

We all know Colin’s grievances with the NFL, but it seems to me like those grievances have taken a backseat and his focus is now on Jay-Z.

Colin says Jay-Z is clearly bothered by his decision to do a deal with the NFL. He emphasizes that Jay-Z “sold us out,” making it clear that he isn’t just talking about himself...

I WARNED Nancy Grace and who I call the “Puppet Master,” Warren Hudson’s stepmother, Jackson County Judge Ashley Cole, NOT TO PLAY WITH ME.

In my last video, I told everyone that I was attempting to bring us back to CENTER and refocus on what I believe are THREE very important topics in the Nolan Wells case: NOLAN’S AUTOPSY, HIS THROAT/NECK TISSUE AND HIS PHONE.

Apparently, they thought that was the perfect time to slip in another Nancy Grace video and distract us again. Well, trust me, I WA...

In Part One, I reacted to the preview clip where Tatum appeared to be preparing to come after me for DEFAMATION over statements I’ve made while covering the Nolan Xavier Wells case.

Former Officer Tatum is allegedly preparing to sue me for DEFAMATION for things I said about him while covering the Nolan Xavier Wells case… and I’m supposed to be scared? 😂

Yesterday, former Officer Tatum released a preview of his sit-down interview with Tamera Nealy, and during that preview, he accused me of lying about him and making defamatory statements.

Tyler Cox, the attorney representing Nolan Wells’ former friends Warren Hudson, Jax Pitalo, and Morgan Seymour, is back for Part 2 of his interview on Bob Bianchi | True Crime, and I have even MORE questions after listening to these explanations.

They gave what I believe are ridiculous excuses for why they have not released the pictures and videos they claim could help prove their clients’ innocence. They also attempted to expla...

Colin Kaepernick has finally addressed Jay-Z, and what he revealed could create problems for the legendary rapper that he can't come back from. 

Kaepernick recently sat down with NBC News’ Lester Holt ahead of the release of his highly anticipated memoir, The Perilous Fight. During the conversation, Kaepernick addressed Jay-Z’s partnership with the NFL, Jay-Z’s controversial Target deal, and the comments Jay-Z made about Kaepernick during his Yankee Stadium freestyle.

Huge development in the Nolan Xavier Wells case. Tyler Cox, the defense attorney representing Nolan’s former friends Warren Hudson, Morgan Seymour and Jax Pitalo, just sat down for a live, unedited interview, and I believe he revealed some of the most troubling information we’ve heard yet.

I’m not saying these boys are guilty, but after hearing this interview, I have serious questions about whether investigators have enough information to establish probable cause for an arrest.

Major development today in the Lindsay Clancy case.

At 10 AM this morning, after days and hours of deliberations, the jury sent a note to the judge indicating that they could not reach a unanimous decision. The jury was sent back to continue deliberating for the remainder of the day, and the day ended with NO VERDICT.

That has left a lot of people, including me, wondering whether this case is headed toward a HUNG JURY.

In my opinion, that would be a horrible miscarriage of justice. Regardless...

As we await the verdict in the Lindsay Clancy case, I have a question: Should Lindsay be sent to prison, or should she be committed to a psychiatric facility for what she did to her three children?

If you believe Lindsay should go to prison, that could mean 10, 15, 20 years, or potentially the rest of her life behind bars.

But I think there is something a lot of people are missing in this conversation. If Lindsay is found not criminally responsible because of her mental state, including the defense’s ar...

Former Officer Brandon Tatum just completely embarrassed himself on his own YouTube channel, and in my opinion, this may be the clearest example yet of why I no NEVER trusted his coverage of the Nolan Xavier Wells case.

Tatum interviewed Johnny Hewitt, the same man who recently appeared on Nancy Grace’s show discussing someone asking him for a ride back from Horn Island around 4:30, after Nolan’s former friends had already left.

A few days ago, I called Nancy Grace out because I believed the way her preview was...

Yesterday, Nancy Grace released a one-minute preview of her interview with Johnny Hewitt, and from that clip alone, I immediately questioned the narrative being presented.

Johnny claimed that Nolan Xavier Wells asked him for a ride back to the mainland from Horn Island after Nolan’s former friends had already left. That claim has NOT been established as fact, and there is still an ongoing investigation into exactly what happened to Nolan.

Now, the full interview has finally been released from behind the paywall, and after watching the entire th...

In my opinion, Nancy Grace has been compromised, and I believe her recent coverage of the Nolan Xavier Wells case is helping the opposition shift the narrative.

Both Target and Texas Roadhouse are facing major backlash, with Black consumers and others across social media calling for boycotts, protests and economic blackouts.

Target is once again under fire after selling a Halloween costume that critics said resembled Blackface and Jim Crow-era minstrel imagery. The company pulled the costume and apologized, admitting that it was offensive and should never have been sold. But for many Black consumers, the apology is not enough, especially after Target’s controversial rollback of its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. Some organizers are making it cl...
