According to the Wall Street Journal, Jay-Z is launching a fund to invest in minority-owned cannabis companies in hopes to boost Black participation in the cannabis industry.
Hov’s newly established fund uses $10 million in seed money as part of a merger between two California-based marijuana companies, Left Coast Ventures and CMG Partners, by Subversive Capital Acquisition Corp. The Parent Company will then invest two percent of its net annual income to the fund.
Where Black people have historically been punished harder for drug-related offenses due to the war on drugs, when compared to white people, the fund was created in order to promote Black participation in the cannabis industry.
“It’s really unbelievable how that can happen,” said Jay-Z. “We were the ones most negatively affected by the war on drugs, and America has turned around and created a business from it that’s worth billions.” Hov added, “I wanted to do something in a real, concrete way, where I do my part.”
The Social Equity Ventures is set to donate $1 Million to each startup it chooses to invest in. The venture will be run by Jay-Z and Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez, who was also one of the nearly 150 people pardoned by Donald Trump this past Tuesday.

Megan Thee Stallion & Klay Thompson Make It Official

Megan Thee Stallion, a musician known for capturing attention with her fierce looks and unapologetic style, recently took to Instagram with a set of sun-soaked bikini photos. But though her glowing appearance was front and center, eagle-eyed fans knew to look on the sidelines, and more specifically, out by the pool, where one familiar face could be spotted lounging. That face? None other than NBA player Klay Thompson. Within minutes, speculation ran wild.
The duo stayed silent for days, offering no hint that they would confirm or deny the buzz. As of now, TMZ has officially broken the news fans have been waiting to hear that Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson are indeed a couple. Little is known about how the twosome initially met or when their love story began, adding an extra layer of mystique to this newly minted power couple. Nevertheless, social media has not shown restraint. Reactions poured onto platforms like X (formerly Twitter), where fans vented feelings ranging from disbelief to appreciation.

“Klay Thompson, I ain’t never know your game,” one tweeted. “How you do that off a court? Another wrote, “Another win for a winner,” hinting at the athlete’s winner’s mentality, on and off the hardwood. Not everyone, though, is simply sipping the tea in silence. Others are looking deeper into who Megan has been linked to in the past, such as fellow athlete Torrey Craig, and wondering when exactly their supposed romance ended and Thompson came into the picture. But that timeline, for now, is a mystery.
Although the two have not confirmed their relationship with an official public appearance or shared a confirming post of their own, their cozy proximity to each other has already sent shockwaves. Whether they’re on their way to courtside PDA or flying under the radar, there’s no doubt about it, this couple has people buzzing. It’s the type of unexpected crossover that we didn’t see coming, but can’t look away from with Megan and her stages and Klay and his three-pointers.

Joyner Lucas Gears Up For Lyrical Warfare After Skepta’s “Friendly Fire” Diss

Joyner Lucas is not one to shrink from lyrical smoke, and he’s wearing that in plain sight in yet another response to Skepta’s direct diss track, “Friendly Fire.” The day after the casting news broke, Lucas shot back with a sarcastic response on social media. The Massachusetts rapper is pictured simply vibing to Skepta’s shit and flashing smiles, shrugging off bars, and ultimately nodding in affirmation, “I hear you… and I’m coming.” His short and sweet message, “Alright, say less my boy,” only revealed a touch of the news, and it spread like wildfire through both fans and rap heads.
The friction started earlier in the week after Skepta made the bold claim that UK rappers had better bars than their American counterparts. That did not go over so well across the pond. ASAP Rocky, Maiya The Don, and then of course, Joyner Lucas’ names were all thrown into the mix to dispute this silly list, but the point is they all shut down the argument as it pertains to lyricists in the U.S. rap game. Skepta upped the stakes by releasing “Friendly Fire,” a direct diss track that added gasoline to the simmering transatlantic feud.
A stylish sequel, first in energy and then in aesthetics, “Greaze Mode” saw Skepta step up to the plate and not pull punches, Ice-cold delivery and unapologetic bars, he left no shadow of a doubt that he’s not just talking any old, he’s ready to prove it. Drake’s participation only added to the broth. On the second day of his headlining set at Wireless Festival, he brought Skepta to the stage and declared London to be the place with the best lyricists on earth. Those words, coming from the 6 God himself, boomed across continents and lent serious weight to the debate.
Now all eyes are on Joyner Lucas. Renowned for his double-time flows, intricate storytelling, and unapologetic candor, he’s certainly no stranger to confrontation or competition. His cool, collected, yet firm response screams ‘ready and waiting.’ “Friendly Fire”, in the chessboard of lyrical battle, was Skepta’s opening gambit. But Joyner’s cool nod and knowing “say less” could be the calm before a storm. If this friendly fire escalates to a full-on feud, the world of hip-hop is in for one of the most exciting lyrical showdowns of the year.
