Tyga has released a new music video for his song “Lightscan Lil Wayne”. With Wayne being his boss, it makes that Tyga would want to page homage to him.
Both some visuals and lyrics are integrated into the video. Tyga’s outfit resembles classic Lil Wayne attire. And the the second part of the song see’s direct reference to Lil Wayne’s “Fireman”, with Tyga climbing on a firetruck to rap in dim light.

A$AP Ferg posted on Instagram on Friday that was being held in solitary confinement without calls or visitation.
“They are trying to keep him there for 2 weeks and if convicted he will be looking at 6 years just for defending himself in a fight,” Ferg wrote. “He was no way in form the aggressor in this ordeal. Pray for justice #freeflacko.”
Rocky was ordered to spend two weeks in jail by a Swedish court for allegedly a “lesser assault charge”.
According to Complex News, Rocky and his team were followed by drug addicts for 4 blocks, and eventually had to act in self defense. Defense attorney Henrik Olsson Lilja said the ruling would be appealed due to the fact that Rocky and those with him during the incident “were attacked and he made use of self-defense.”
![[Sports] Anthony Davis and Dwyane Wade will be featured on the cover of this year’s NBA 2K](https://i0.wp.com/sloppyvinyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/2k20.jpeg?resize=300%2C168&ssl=1)
Anthony Davis and Dwayne Wade will be featured on the cover of NBA 2K20. Each copy will have a picture of either of the two, with an insert included inside of the other one in case the buyer wants to switch them out.
Despite an 8 year difference in the career lengths of the two players, this is Anthony Davis’ second time on a 2K cover and Dwyane Wade’s first. However, Wade was on the cover of NBA Live ’06, back when that game actually competed with NBA 2K.
According to Sporting News, The Standard Edition of NBA 2K20 will be sold for $60, the Deluxe for $80, and the Legend for $100. Pre-orders will include additional Virtual Currency, cards for use in MyTeam Mode, and various extras for created MyPlayer characters. The game is set to come out on September 6th.
![[Fashion] Kim Kardashian to change the name of her brand, “Kimono”](https://i0.wp.com/sloppyvinyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/kimono.jpeg?resize=275%2C183&ssl=1)
Last week, Kim Kardashian announced the launch of her new shapewear brand, “Kimono”. The term is identical to a traditional Japanese dress, with the only difference being the capitalization of the “k”. Understandably, many criticized Kim for tasteless cultural appropriation, including Kyoto mayor Daisaku Kadokawa who asked Kim to not trademark the name.
Originally, Kim said that she understood the concerns, but would stand by her idea. Now it looks like Kim is rethinking that.
In a few tweets, Kim said that she wouldn’t use the name. “Being an entrepreneur and my own boss has been one of the most rewarding challenges I’ve been blessed with in my life,” she wrote. “What’s made it possible for me after all of these years has been the direct line of communication with my fans and the public. I am always listening, learning and growing – I so appreciate the passion and varied perspectives that people bring to me. When I announced the name of my shapewear line, I did so with the best intentions in mind.”
“My brands and products are built with inclusivity and diversity at their core and after careful thought and consideration, I will be launching my Solutionwear brand under a new name,” she continued. “I will be in touch soon. Thank you for your understanding and support always.”
It’s nice to see Kim make the change to avoid cultural insensitivity, but a lot of damage I think has already been done. I’m not too familiar with Japanese culture but even I managed to spot the similarity, dare I say uniformity, of the name to the dress. Kimonos are pretty famous and I’m sure Kim or someone in her team were aware of that before, and still decided to keep it.
