The final season of Game of Thrones has certainly been far the shakiest, agreed upon by both the critics and masses. Not only are the ratings very low, but I’d bet that if you are a Game of Thrones fan, there is a big chance that either you or someone you know disliked the final season. For example, the Rotten Tomatoes ratings reflect this, as critical ratings started to plunge after the second episode. Episode 3, “The Long Night”, got a 75% rating which was actually one of the lowest of the entire series up to that point. It then got progressively worse with 58%, 47%, and 56% for the final three episodes. Sure the writers aren’t aided by George R.R. Martin’s source material, and sure the writers are allowed to slip up and maybe even have a few bad episodes, but the blunder is unacceptable when the episodes are the most important of the entire series.
For these reasons, after Episode 4: “The Last of the Stark”, there was made an online petition on Change.org to remake the entire final season with “competent writers” and it has garnered over a million signatures so far. The petition officially reads: ““David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have proven themselves to be woefully incompetent writers when they have no source material (i.e. the books) to fall back on. This series deserves a final season that makes sense.” Though it is unlikely that HBO will spend tens of millions of dollars to remake the six episodes, this petition is at least a testament to the overall negative reception of the final season.

Cardi B has been sued $1 million by blogger Latasha K for alleged defamation charges. According to The Blast, the blogger, who has 500,000 YouTube subscribers, received death threats after Cardi B told “lies” about her on social media.
The site obtained court documents in which Latasha K admits to making a video with fellow blogger Starmarie Ebony Jones accusing Cardi B of using drugs and contracting sexual transmitted infections.
After the video got popular, Cardi asked K to take the video down, but K refused and asked Cardi to appear in an interview. The Grammy award winning rapper declined the invitation, and sued Latasha K for defamation. According to TMZ, Cardi accused the blogger of saying that her baby Kulture would be born with “intellectual disabilities” because of Cardi’s drug use during her pregnancy.
K said: “Cardi B began to publicly defame Ms. Kebe, referring to her as ‘this blogger lady, by stating that Ms. Kebe makes up fake stories; harasses all of Cardi B’s friends; constantly stalks Cardi B; falsely claims that she has legitimate sources giving her information about Cardi B; uses Cardi B’s name for ‘click bait’; and many other false accusations.”
K began receiving threats from gangs, and a lot of harassment both online and in person. We’ll see who’s right and who’s wrong in this case, and if Cardi has really been overstepping the fine line, she should be punished.
![[Entertainment] Chris Rock to make the next Saw movie](https://i0.wp.com/sloppyvinyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/chrisrocksaw.jpeg?resize=275%2C183&ssl=1)

With Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures, Chris Rock will be creating and producing the next Saw movie. Rock wrote the story, and the movie will be directed by Pete Goldfinger and Josh Stolberg. The series is about the Jigsaw Killer, always played by Tobin Bell, who tests victims’ survival instincts in cruel and unusual ways.
“When Chris Rock came to us and described in chilling detail his fantastic vision that reimagines and spins off the world of the notorious Jigsaw Killer, we were all-in,” said Lionsgate’s Motion Picture Group chairman Joe Drake. “Saw is one of the highest-grossing horror franchises of all-time, and it’s one of Lionsgate’s most successful film series. This upcoming film will still be as mind-bending and intense as all the previous Saw films. Chris conceived this idea, and it will be completely reverential to the legacy of the material while reinvigorating the brand with his wit, creative vision and passion for this classic horror franchise.”
Chris Rock said: “I’ve been a fan of Saw since the first film in 2004. I am excited by the opportunity to take this to a really intense and twisted new place.” Longtime series producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules added: “Chris wants to put his own spin on the Saw franchise in the way Eddie Murphy put a completely fresh perspective on buddy-cop films with 48 Hours. This new Saw is going to be an event film in the making for horror fans. It will have all of the twists and turns and hardcore layers that our fans expect directed by one of the masters of the craft, Darren Lynn Bousman. We can’t wait to get started.”
I’ve loved Saw movies and I’ve loved Chris Rock movies such as Lethal Weapon 4 and Beverly Hills Cop 2, so this seems like a match made in heaven.
![[News] Trey Songz might be a father](https://i0.wp.com/sloppyvinyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/treysongzbabyrumor-1.jpeg?resize=288%2C175&ssl=1)

Might be a false alarm, but I suspect Trey Songz just had a baby.
The rapper recently posted a black and white photo on Instagram of a baby’s right foot grasped by an adult male’s hand. He captioned the photo with a blue heart emoji, which likely means that the baby is a boy.
Fans and celebrities alike commented on the photo congratulating Trey on the new baby boy. Actress Sharina Gutierrez commented “You were meant to be a daddy” while singer Kehlani appeared slightly more excited, commenting “Finally HAHAAAAA YES!!!” It is interesting why she included the “HAHAAAAA” and could mean that she is on the conspiracy that Trey Songz faked the birth of his baby boy.
Other comments on the post weren’t so overtly positive. One user commented on how Trey just wants attention while another questioned if the pic is of Trey and his newly born nephew from a few months ago.
There is more to the story. Back in December 2018, The Shade Room posted a sonogram of adult actress Brittney Jones. Jones said that it was her and Trey’s baby and after people accused her of faking the image, she stood by her original statement.
We will likely have an answer to this riddle very soon.
![[News] Money from Nipsey Hussle and DJ Khaled collaboration to go to Nipsey’s son](https://i0.wp.com/sloppyvinyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/djkhalednipsey.jpeg?resize=300%2C168&ssl=1)

With a very classy move, DJ Khaled is donating the profits from his Nipsey Hussle collaboration to Nipsey’s kid. The song is called “Higher” and the two were in the midst of working on the music video when Nipsey was murdered a month and a half ago. In an Instagram post, Khaled wrote that everyone involved in the making of the song has agreed to donate the money to Kross Ashghedom, Nipsey’s son with girlfriend Lauren London.
It was clear that Nipsey Hussle’s sudden passing really affected Khaled. He said in the post, “”It began when a tragedy robbed the world of an enlightened soul, a brother, a father, a partner and my friend, Nipsey Hussle. Just days prior, he shared his energy and positivity with me on a video set for a song called ‘Higher.’” Nipsey seemed to have that effect on people that knew him, that he was really some kind of enlightened saint-like figure.
The song features John Legend on the hook and is set to be released on DJ Khaled’s highly anticipated album Son of Asahd this Friday. I’ll feel better when I stream this song on Friday, knowing that it might in some way help Nipsey’s son continue his father’s legacy.

Kodak Black was arrested Saturday for state and federal gun charges, and forced to cancel his set at The Rolling Loud Festival. Details about the arrest were scarce until TMZ obtained the two page court indictment that stated that Kodak knowingly made false statements when trying to buy firearms in January and March. Prosecutors said that the rapper successfully obtained a firearm in at least two of those incidents.
The lie was that Kodak was not currently under any investigation that could put him in jail which, of course, he was. He is currently in the middle of a criminal case over an alleged sexual result a teenage girl and if he is convicted, he could easily be put behind bars.
Kodak was picked up by police right before he was to take the stage at The Rolling Loud Festival in Miami. He is still in jail and is scheduled to face the judge Wednesday.
Let us know what you think about the additional Kodak legal fiasco in the comments.
