50 Cent Sparks Outrage After Backing Indiana Over Hometown Knicks

Honk Magazine

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, the well-known rapper from Queens who has been a lifelong fan of the New York Knicks, is making headlines again, but this time it’s not for his music or business ventures. Instead, he’s stirring things up in the basketball world, and it’s not sitting well with Knicks supporters. After the Indiana Pacers eliminated the Knicks from the playoffs in a tough six-game series, 50 Cent congratulated the winning team and jumped on the bandwagon.

He has been showering praises on the Pacers, especially their talented player, Tyrese Haliburton. And he hasn’t been shy about it. During and after Game 4 of the series, he posted a flurry of messages on Instagram, showing himself cheering enthusiastically from the sidelines. Next to fellow rapper Rob49, he couldn’t contain his excitement when Haliburton delivered an impressive performance, scoring 32 points and making 15 assists without any mistakes.

He jokingly commented, “It’s not my fault bro Halliburton went crazy 🤷.” For some, this was a refreshing moment of sportsmanship. Rather than just being a fan of his home team, 50 Cent was recognizing the skill and effort of the opposing team when they deserved it. However, for dedicated Knicks fans, seeing a local celebrity cheer for the rival team was hard to swallow. But perhaps 50’s actions were about growth.

He showed that appreciating talent in sports can sometimes be more important than sticking to one’s own team. While New York fans are still nursing their wounds, the Pacers are celebrating, and 50 Cent is making a statement that love for basketball can sometimes outweigh loyalty to a specific team. Whether Knicks fans forgive him or not, Tyrese Haliburton has gained a very high-profile supporter.

Snoop Dogg Wants To Pay Someone $10,000 A Month To Eat Ice Cream

Snoop Dogg has had a lot of job titles over the years, but “official ice cream taster” wasn’t one of them until now — and he’s hiring someone else to fill it. His company Dr. Bombay just opened applications for the role, and it pays $10,000 a month.

The gig is fully remote and open to anyone on the planet, which Snoop announced himself in a video that’s exactly as laid-back as you’d expect. “I love the paper, but not the paperwork,” he said, explaining that HR firm Deel is handling the logistics while he handles, presumably, the ice cream.

The actual job is less “sit around and eat pints all day” and more part-time cultural scout. Whoever gets it will track flavor and food trends around the world, report back on what people are eating and talking about, and work directly with Dr. Bombay’s in-house flavor lead to help shape what the brand does next. It’s a three-month contractor role, and Snoop’s team says they’re actively looking outside the usual resume pile — creators and non-traditional applicants welcome.

Dr. Bombay itself leans nostalgic, with flavors like Long Beach Fruit Cart, Sticky Caramel Apple Pie, and Peanut Butter Jelly Time already sitting on shelves at Walmart and moving through DoorDash and Instacart. Somewhere out there is one very lucky applicant about to get paid five figures a month to have opinions about ice cream, and honestly, good for them.

Honk Magazine Default

Phlo-osophy’s “Scientist Mind (Living My Life)” is a thoughtful and relaxing meditation on intellect and existence, packaged with laid-back production that encourages both thought and comfort. The song starts with atmospheric synths and a low-key beat, creating a space that is the laboratory of contemplation.

Phlo-osophy’s lyrical style steers into tough concepts spontaneous physics of thought, the chemistry of emotion — and yet remains highly accessible. The production is the strength of the production: soft, warm textures, synth pads, muted guitar echoes, quiet electronic pulses, cohere into a hushed, private atmosphere.

The result is a song that teeters between heady curiosity and soulful expression. It’s not out to swamp us with complexity, but to suggest a room in which mind and emotion can cohabitate thoughtfully. “Scientist Mind (Living My Life)” serves as a signal of Phlo-osophy’s approach as an enlightening artist who writes not only with heart, but with mind and who welcomes the listener on its journey of self-discovery.
