This has been the week of Oli London. He’s made headlines the world over and his most recent trip to a plastic surgeon has him pulling in as many as 50 Million search results on Google at the time of this recording. I don’t think the press is good press but it looks like Oli London is an influencer who will take what they can get. From the Dr. Phil show to TMZ Oli is proudly showing off all the pu...

It’s not every-day that a musician creates a hit single so popular that it racks up over a billion views – and it’s even rarer when that artist then drops off of the face of the planet – but somehow, that’s exactly what happened to the man behind “Somebody That I Used To Know”, the enigmatic singer/songwriter known as Gotye. That single was a pop-culture staple of the early 2010’s and took home a...

Believe it or not but by all accounts, Slim Jesus made a pretty decent success for himself during his fifteen minutes of fame – in fact, he’s reported to have made as much as $1 Million off of his 2015 single, “Drill Time” – the track that announced him as the newest drill artist to keep an eye on. The music video for that single turned into a viral hit and featured Slim Jesus, armed with guns whi...

The Wack Pack has been a part of the Howard Stern Show, and -- by proxy -- it’s listening audiences’ lives, for decades now. We’re talking thirty long years of high-pitched voices, shock antics, and the type of un-PC hijinks that have really fallen out of favor over the past handful of years. But the fine folks that make up the membership of this group aren’t exactly the kind of people who you can...

As someone who manages to expertly bridge the gap between trap music stylings and New York Charisma, Sheck Wes is poised to become one of the most powerful voices in NYC hip-hop. Hailing from Harlem, this rapper turned himself into such a hot commodity that he had both Kanye West and Travis Scott fighting over the right to sing him to their respective brands. Ultimately, they settled on co-signing...

Over the years, Detroit has produced many, eclectic, eccentric, and talented artists, especially when it pertains to hip-hop. Few of these individuals have been more famous than Eminem -- but in 1996, five other Detroit-based rappers, Proof, Bizarre, Mr. Porter, Kuniva, and Bugz got together to form a hip-hop supergroup. Their own rise to success would be intertwined with Detroit’s most famous son...

By now you have undoubtedly seen the 18-year-old Hasbulla dominating your social media feeds with his posts coming straight out of Makhachkala, Russia. His arrival on the scene has boosted his following from almost 2 million followers on Instagram, he's been hanging with Khabib Nurmagomedov, and his upcoming fight with fellow little person Abdu Rozik will certainly only increase not only his notor...

John Cena’s heart might belong to sports entertainment and the WWE in particular, but if we take a step back and analyze his entire career I think it’s a pretty safe bet to say that Cena is the entertainment industry’s equivalent to a Swiss-Army-Knife -- he can do a little bit of everything. Whether he’s defeating all-time greats like The Undertaker, Triple H, or even The Rock inside the squared-c...

Last year at the offset of the pandemic, viewers fell in love with the Netflix reality series “Too Hot to Handle” and have eagerly been looking forward to the follow-up season ever since. Well, have I got great news for all of you -- because starting June 23rd, it’s back with a whole batch of new episodes! The series centers on the contestants’ summer-long battle with celibacy while being trapped...

In today’s day and age, anyone can get famous. Case-in-point, a few years ago there was this viral YouTube singer who went by the name of Ice JJ Fish, you might have heard of him -- and if you haven’t then maybe count yourself blessed you missed out on viral videos from him. This product of Illinois became something of a curiosity on the internet largely thanks to the undeniably serious way that h...

For those of you who are huge fans of the Kardashians and Kylie Jenner in particular, then you probably have heard all about the social media phenomenon, Stassie Baby, whose real name is Anastasia Karanikolaou. Believe it or not, these two have been friends since childhood and they’ve been “twinning” one another since way back when in the days of middle school. When these two were kids, they would...

Before Irina Shayk would get her big break gracing the pages of Sports Illustrated back in 2007 and would become the first Russian to make the cover page.

It didn’t take long for Daniel Desmond Amofah -- better known by his screen name: Etika -- to turn himself into one of YouTube’s most prominent video game bloggers. After getting his start in 2012, his trademarked High-top fade and bubbly personality made Etika seem like one of the friendliest video game enthusiasts on the planet, and at the peak of his popularity, Etika had more than 800,000 foll...

Over fifteen years ago now, “Everybody Hates Chris” premiered on UPN to massive critical acclaim. The series was based upon the childhood of superstar comedian Chris Rock growing up in Brooklyn, New York, and adapted for television with some narrative tweaks. For instance, in real life, Chris has more siblings than he does in the show. And funny “Everybody Hated Chris” most definitely was. More th...

Dhar Mann is one of the biggest creators in the world. No joke. So much so that this dude just bought one of The Kardashian's former homes. He's on the top of the world with his inspirational videos like Gold Digger Breaks Up With Broke Boyfriend, TikTok Famous Teen Kicked Out Of Designer Store, Mom Forces Girl To Play With Barbies starring SSSniperwolf. The inclusion of Gen Z influencers into his...

Foolio is an American rapper who’s been producing music since 2015 and found his big breakthrough moment three years later with his hit single, “Crooks”. For those of us who have a handle on his life story, his making a name for himself off of that song is one of those strange coincidences of art imitating life, because if Foolio grew up learning how to do anything on the streets of Jacksonville,...

Bandman Kevo first made a name for himself in the early 2010s with a string of singles like “All Foreign” and “Baller in Me” that precipitated the eventual infamy he would earn after getting arrested for his involvement in a bank fraud scheme right before he was set to pop-off. After spending nearly three years in prison, Bandman Kevo got himself back on the streets, ready to reclaim the spot he l...

On the DARK SIDE OF FAME is a different story all together and Blueface’s reputation is littered with questionable behavior. Even when he’s ostensibly trying to do something nice, like giving back to the community, he does it in such a way that only serves to highlight his own ego. So, I hope you guys will join me as I take a look at Blueface’s plunge into The Dark Side of Fame.

On the DARK SIDE OF FAME is a different story altogether and if we didn’t already know it by now, we sure will by the end of this story – namely that childhood fame does a really poor job of preparing young people for the realities and responsibilities of adulthood. Because not only did Drake quickly find himself having issues with driving under the influence of alcohol, but he’s also faced some h...

On the DARK SIDE OF FAME is a different story altogether – and Bryce, well, he’s more or less the embodiment of everything wrong with putting kids on the pedestal of celebrity from such an early age. Accusations of cheating on his romantic partners, falsely accusing others of inappropriate contact, tweets, and getting into more fights than you can possibly imagine are just the tip of the iceberg w...

I don’t know about you guys, but I feel pretty confident when I say there aren’t too many people on planet Earth like Lester Green, the man better known to many, as Beetlejuice. This 53-year old actor, comedian, and all-around entertainer who suffers from microcephaly and dwarfism were popular a long time before currently trending celebrities like Hasbulla and Abdu, and don’t think for a second th...

When you think of your average Lamborghini or Ferrari owner, odds are you’re picturing someone with a tremendous career – a doctor, lawyer, or maybe a CEO of a Fortune Five-Hundred company – but thanks his lucrative self-made career as a sports car enthusiast on YouTube, you can also add the individual known as The Stradman to that list. In fact, not only does The Stradman own one ferocious sports...
