LaVar Ball Finds Strength in His Sons After Foot Amputation

LaVar Ball, famous for being the outspoken leader of the Ball family and the creator of Big Baller Brand, recently faced one of the toughest challenges of his life. In a heartfelt interview with Slam Magazine, he opened up about the difficult experience of having his foot amputated, a journey that tested him both physically and emotionally. During this tough time, the strong support from his sons, Lonzo, LaMelo, and LiAngelo, helped him find the strength to keep going.
“I must admit, my boys kept me going,” LaVar shared, recalling moments when he felt like giving up. After enduring several surgeries and needing many blood transfusions, he began to doubt how much more he could take. “I was ready to stop. I thought I had enough,” he said. But even in his darkest moments, the encouragement and presence of his sons gave him renewed hope. The Ball family is known for their close-knit bond, with LaVar proudly acting as both a father and mentor to his talented sons. From their early basketball days to their achievements in the NBA, he has always been their biggest supporter. Now, the situation has turned, and his sons’ strong belief in him keeps him going.
The decision to amputate didn’t come easily. What initially started with a few lost toes eventually led doctors to remove his foot entirely. Even after this, complications continued to arise. “They told me, ‘We might need to amputate even more,'” LaVar explained, accepting the tough reality he faced. But through all of this, he remained determined, driven by the love and strength his family gave him. “I’m here for a bigger purpose,” Ball said assertively. That purpose is to inspire his sons and anyone else facing tough times. His story is one of resilience, showing that even the strongest individuals may face moments of weakness and that leaning on loved ones can be incredibly powerful.

Suge Knight Calls Out Kanye West Over Offensive Comments on Carter Twins

Suge Knight is known for speaking his mind, and in a recent interview on a show called Art of Dialogue, he shared strong opinions about Kanye West’s recent behavior. Kanye, who is often in the spotlight for his controversial actions, made headlines after insulting Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s children in a tweet. Suge found this particularly unacceptable. “I need to talk to Kanye,” Suge said, clearly upset. “We should never disrespect anyone’s kids.” He was disturbed by Kanye calling the Carter twins a hurtful name, emphasizing that this kind of behavior is unacceptable in both hip-hop and society in general.
“You don’t talk about Jay and Beyoncé’s kids and call them names. That’s crossing the line.” For Suge Knight, this isn’t just about one tweet, it’s about a larger issue. He feels that such hurtful comments not only impact the people involved but also reflect poorly on hip-hop and Black culture as a whole. “I expect more from people in hip-hop and our community,” he stated. “We’ve come a long way, and we should stand up for each other, especially when it comes to protecting kids and those who are vulnerable.”
This isn’t the first time Kanye has faced backlash for his controversial remarks, but Suge clarifies that calling out children is where he draws the line. “That’s not funny to me, not at all,” he remarked, suggesting that there should be real consequences for Kanye’s words. “He needs an old-fashioned lesson.” Suge Knight’s comments remind us that, regardless of how famous an artist is, there are still moral limits that shouldn’t be crossed, especially when it comes to children. His call for accountability sends a strong message to Kanye West and anyone else who might think it’s acceptable to attack innocent kids in the hip-hop world.

Lil Durk Makes History as the Most Certified Rapper of 2025

Lil Durk has officially established himself as one of the biggest names in hip-hop. The Chicago-born rapper just broke records by becoming the first hip-hop artist to earn the most certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2025. This is a huge milestone in his career, highlighting his influence in music today and his status as one of the all-time greats. Recently, the RIAA announced that Durk achieved 53 new certifications, making him the top hip-hop artist of 2025, and placing him among the top 50 artists ever, with an impressive total of 52.5 million units sold.
This news was shared on social media, confirming that he’s not just popular, but his music truly connects with listeners. Durk has made a name for himself with hit collaborations like “Broadway Girls” featuring Morgan Wallen, “All My Life” with J. Cole, and “3 Headed Goat” alongside Lil Baby and Polo G. His ability to tell real-life stories while also creating catchy melodies has made him a standout artist. These new certifications show that his music has lasting appeal. Fans quickly took to social media to celebrate his achievements, with some eagerly anticipating his next album, saying it will be a huge success.
Others reminisced about how hard he’s worked and how much his popularity has grown, especially during his breakthrough years from 2020 to 2021. However, not everyone is impressed. Some critics have pointed out that his collaboration with country star Morgan Wallen might make his success seem less significant. However, the impressive numbers speak for themselves. Durk’s music has played a key role in shaping hip-hop, and the way he mixes different styles only adds to his talent.
