Kanye West, the iconic rapper and producer, recently opened up about his initial experiences working with JAY-Z, one of hip-hop’s most revered figures.

 

In a candid interview, West confessed to feeling intimidated by JAY-Z, acknowledging his status as a “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time) in the rap game. Reflecting on their early collaborations, West admitted to being nervous and even scаred of JAY-Z’s presence and reputation.

 

Despite his own considerable talent and success, West revealed a sense of awe and respect for JAY-Z’s mastery of the craft. However, as they continued to collaborate and build a rapport, West found his confidence growing, eventually establishing himself as a formidable force in the industry in his own right.

 

This admission showcases the humility and vulnerability behind West’s persona, humanizing a figure often associated with brash confidence. It also speaks to the power dynamics and complexities inherent in creative partnerships, where even established artists can grapple with feelings of insecurity when collaborating with their idols.

 

West’s journey from intimidation to collaboration with JAY-Z serves as a testament to the transformative potential of artistic collaboration and the evolution of personal growth within the competitive landscape of hip-hop.

Even in his pre-Taylor Swift era, Travis Kelce was apparently still a catch.

In a “New Heights” episode dating back to May 2023, the Kansas City Chiefs star reminisced on his rosy NFL draft days with coach Andy Reid. Kelce and his brother, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, asked Reid what led to each of them being drafted, prompting two very different answers from the Chiefs coach.

During his 14-year stint as head coach of the Eagles, Reid selected Jason Kelce in the sixth round of the 2011 draft. Reid also took Travis two seasons later in Reid’s first year with the Chiefs.

According to Reid, drafting Jason Kelce was an “easy” choice.

“You were a great player,” Reid said of the older Kelce brother on the podcast last May. “A little bit undersized, had tremendous toughness, speed. You were smart, dirty tough.”

As for Travis Kelce, though, Reid had a more critical first impression of the former Cincinnati tight end.

“This guy, I saw play against Temple, and my son kept telling me this tight end is unbelievable,” continued Reid. “Game’s over, they just destroyed Temple. I come over to the locker room, he comes be-bopping out and just giving me the business. Like we’re long-lost friends. And deep down, I’m going, ‘If I get my hands on that son of a buck, I am going to rip his heart out.’”

Little did Reid know that “son of a buck” would go on to enjoy one of the greatest tight end careers in history, racking up 11,328 receiving yards and 74 touchdowns to date. The Chiefs, sniffing a historic three-peat this upcoming season, will look to bolster their roster at the 2024 NFL draft, which begins on April 25.

The Greek Freak uploaded a video of himself in a bathtub full of ice cubes.

The NBA player told the individuals who were undoubtedly challenging him to do so, “I feel nothing,” and they carried on tossing ice cubes into the water.

Later in the video, the basketball player—wrapped in a towel—comes out of the water and yells and laughs that he should be paid extra because he was in the water for forty-five minutes.

He changed into his bathrobe and then humorously boasted about his accomplishment.

The Kansas City Chiefs don’t need a lot of help marketing themselves or finding new fans.

On top of being back-to-back Super Bowl champions and having the undisputed best player in the game in Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce’s relationship with pop star Taylor Swift has taken their popularity to new heights.

If that wasn’t enough, they’ll now have plenty of rugby fans also tuning in to watch their games.

They signed rugby rising star Louis Rees-Zammit, who made the shocking decision to make the jump to football.

With that in mind, Jason Kelce claimed that he hopes he takes the world by storm, adding that he could be an electric player and someone very fun to watch in the league.

Also, he talked to Travis on their New Heights podcast about how handsome Rees-Zammit was, adding that he could be the most marketable guy in the league if he worked hard.

 

All jokes aside, it’ll be very interesting to see how he pans out and whether he makes the 53-man roster.

Of course, there will be a learning curve and some growing pains as he makes the transition from one sport to the other, but he clearly has the physical tools and athleticism to be a factor in the game if given enough time and opportunities.

It’s not usual to see stars in one sport make the jump and test the waters in something different, and he deserves a lot of credit for having the courage to do that.

Mike Budenholzer lost his job as head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks after the team lost in the first round of the playoffs despite having a player as talented as Giannis Antetokounmpo, an NBA insider said. The “Greek Freak” hasn’t let that stop him from paying homage to the sacked coach, either.

“Coach, thank you for five wonderful years. We achieved an incredible feat for which I will always be thankful, Giannis posted on social media.

Expectations were high for the Bucks since they had Giannis, according to Fox Sports anchor Colin Cowherd. When Milwaukee didn’t even get past the first round of the playoffs, Budenholzer was fired.

According to Cowherd, “that’s why a lot of people in the business say that being an NBA head coach is the worst great job in America. You get paid a fortune, and the better the stars, the higher the expectations.”

Cowherd said it was just inexcusable to lose in the first round even with two-time MVP Antetokounmpo.

Giannis is the reason Budenholzer was dismissed, according to Cowherd, because he prevents favorites from being rolled and out-coached in a series.

According to Cowherd, Budenholzer “made some real coaching gaffs” during their Heat playoff series, which ultimately resulted in his dismissal. A coaching error during the playoffs cannot be excused, according to Cowherd.

“Everyone watches the playoffs, you’re the favorite, you get rolled, you get fired,” he remarked.

Among the alleged coaching errors Budenholzer made in the series were failing to call timeouts in crucial Game 5 situations and failing to devise a stronger defensive strategy to halt Miami’s Jimmy Butler’s offensive assault.

Even Giannis acknowledged that the Bucks should have done a better job of stopping Butler.

According to Antetokounmpo, he offered to guard Butler but the coaches declined his offer.

“In the end, I wish I had had more time to watch over [Butler].” Maybe try double-teaming him more and forcing him to pass the ball. Give Jrue a break and perhaps switch the matchup for a short while. After Butler scored a career-high 56 points in Game 4, Giannis stated, “I don’t think as a team we made the right adjustment, or we didn’t make as many adjustments as we could have against him.”

According to Cowherd, Budenholzer’s situation might have been different had Milwaukee not acquired a player of the caliber of Antetokounmpo.

“Maybe he keeps his job if you don’t have Giannis and your best players weren’t Brook Lopez, Jrue Holiday, and Khris Middleton. The drawback of having a superstar player that transcends generations is that. Games cannot be given away, Cowherd remarked.
