Shiggy Denies Drake Paid Him To Make #InMyFeelings Challenge Go Viral
Whoopi Goldberg Gets Into A Screaming Match With Fox News' Judge Jeanine Pirro On ‘The View’
Social media is always try- ing to figure out the newest, magic formula to make a post go viral, but Shiggy denies Drake paid him to make “In My Feelings” challenge go viral and take off like crazy.
Kollege Kidd, Boxden.com and other blogs and sites have speculated that singer Drake paid social media influencer Shiggy $250,000 to help the song from Drake’s Scor- pion album jump to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Shiggy’s #InMyFeelings #DoTheShiggy challenge which launched on The Shiggy Show has spread na-

tionwide, to entertainers such as Will Smith, singer Ciara, New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., and even the police de- partment in Orlando, spawn-
ing a reach even further than the “Running Man Chal- lenge.”
In an Instagram live video, Shiggy denied receiving pay- ment.
Whoopi Goldberg be- came entangled in a furious argument with guest Judge Jeanine Pirro after com- ments the latter made on Thursday’s episode of The View.
Pirro, who hosts Fox News’ Justice with Judge Jeanine, accused Goldberg of having “Trump Derange- ment Syndrome.”
“I don’t have Trump De- rangement... let me tell you what I have. I am tired of peo- ple starting a conversation with Mexicans are liars and rapists,” Goldberg said.
“Listen, I’m 62-years-old, there’ve been a lot of people in office that I haven’t agreed with, but I have never, ever seen anything like this,” she continued.
“I have never seen anybody whip up such hate. I’ve never
seen anybody be so dismis- sive. And clearly you don’t watch the show, so you don’t know that I don’t suffer from that. What I suffer from is the inability to figure out how to fix this,” she added.
Goldberg attempted to steer the conversation away by asking Pirro about “the Deep State,” which Pirro said was running the country, but the judge wasn’t swayed re- turning to the argument at hand.
“You know what’s horrible? When people who shouldn’t be here end up murdering the children of American citi- zens,” Pirro told Goldberg.
The actress shot back with, “What is horrible is when the president of the United States whips up people to beat the hell out of people. Say good- bye! Goodbye! I’m done!”
Rihanna Looking To Go Dancehall On New Album Project
Ever since she released her last project, Anti, in 2016, Ri- hanna and her label Roc Na- tion have been on the hunt... for beats.
According to Rolling Stone, the Barbados native has been working on an album devoted to exploring her island roots. Rihanna first mentioned the possibility of releasing a reggae inspired album last month but has been quiet ever since.
It is said that Supa Dups, the veteran dancehall producer behind recent hits lik Drake’s “Controlla,” was “one influ- ence” on the album. Other pro- ducers rumored to be apart of
RHIANNA
the project include R. City, Tyshane “Beam” Thomp- son, Skrillex, Boi-1da, and
Kranium are among the pro- ducers and artists who are said to have been involved with the writing sessions for the possi- ble 10-track album.
“Rihanna’s team has, no lie, 500 records for this project [from] different producers and writers,” an anonymous pro- ducer told Rolling Stone. “They’re only choosing 10 records. They’ve been having writing camps and trying to keep them quiet for almost a year and a half now.
“I’ve been flying to Miami, flying to LA, cutting records nonstop for this project,” the producer added.
Kylie Jenner’s Boyfriend, Travis
Scott, Says ‘Bring It’ When It Comes
To Reputed ‘Kardashian Curse’
Travis Scott, Kylie Jen- ner’s boyfriend, says he does- n’t believe in the so-called ‘Kardashian curse,” the New York Daily News is reporting.
Rapper Scott, 26, told GQ magazine that the curse is not even on this radar.
Scott has been Jenner’s boyfriend for two years. The legend of the curse is that men’s lives turn to mush when they date members of the Kar- dashian family.
“Hell nah,” Scott told GQ. “Nervous for what? I’m on my own island. So hey, come over there to Astroworld. I’m not into all the other s—t. I don’t get involved. I’m over here. Kylie is different.”
The concept of the “Kar- dashian curse” dates back to 2016 when Kourtney Kar-

dashian’s then-boyfriend, Scott Disick said in an episode of the reality show “Keeping Up with the Kar- dashians” hired a medium to rid himself of the reputed curse, the News reports.
And if you’re rolling your eyes at the concept, consider the examples social media
brings up: Ray J, whose career hit a bump after dating Kim Kardashian, Lamar Odom, who overdosed and slipped into a coma after his divorce from Khloe Kar- dashian, and most recently, Kanye West and his seeming mental breakdown after two years of marriage to Kim.
