Sheriff’s Deputy Thought Raptors’ Masai Ujiri Could’ve Been A Terrorist

Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri had an extremely bittersweet moment last year during Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
As the Raptors secured the first NBA championship in the franchise’s history, Ujiri attempted to make his way onto the court to celebrate with his team, where he became involved in an altercation with Alameda County sheriff’s deputy Alan Strickland.
The officer first claimed that Ujiri had been the aggressor, leaving the officer concussed and with a “serious jaw injury.”
Of course, body cam footage released in the months since has contradicted the officer’s laughable claims, namely that Ujiri did not make any sort of attempt to identify himself. The footage clearly shows Ujiri pulling out his identification and that the officer aggressively pushed him twice without the Raptors president getting physical before bystanders jumped in to separate the men.
Ujiri released a statement addressing the incident in which he asserted his belief that the incident was a clear-cut example of anti-Black racism.
Ujiri has since filed a counterclaim in response to the officer filing a lawsuit against him. The deputy recently asked the court to dismiss the Raptors president’s counterclaim, citing his belief that he was “trying to stop a potentially serious threat.”
“Had Deputy Strickland not employed force, he would have risked having the suspect not only trespass onto the court, he would have risked the suspect quickly getting lost amid the growing crowd of folks authorized to be on the court, and potentially committing any number of possibly serious crimes,” legal documents asking to dismiss the counterclaim read. “After all, this was a high-profile sporting event, which entailed a risk of crimes ranging from vandalism to assaults on players…assaults on coaches… player-fan brawls… and even mass murder or terrorism. The same threats persisted when Mr. Ujiri continued to attempt to barge past the second time, still without showing his (invalid) credential, even after being shoved and ordered to back up.”

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie Walks Away Unscathed from Shocking Car Crash

New York City has seen its fair share of excitement, but for rapper A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, this past Sunday (March 16) turned into a real scare. The popular artist, famous for his catchy tunes and deep lyrics, was involved in a serious car crash around 1 AM EST. After the accident, his white sports car was badly damaged and looked almost unrecognizable. Fortunately, A Boogie came out of it without a single scratch. Fans quickly took to social media to share their relief and support, thrilled that their favorite artist was okay.
Photos from the scene showed how bad the damage was, his car’s hood had been completely torn off and left to the side as it awaited a tow truck. While the car was in rough shape, A Boogie was safe. Instead of going to the hospital, he went straight home, proving that sometimes luck is on your side. Later, A Boogie’s team confirmed to TMZ that the car belonged to him and shared some details about the timing and location of the crash. However, questions remain about how the accident happened. Was there another car involved? Or was it just A Boogie’s vehicle? The New York Police Department hasn’t given more information yet, leaving fans and reporters guessing what caused the crash.
This incident comes at a time when A Boogie has been more low-key since the release of his 2024 album, Better Off Alone. The album showcases his unique blend of emotional depth and confidence, reinforcing his place as a strong voice in hip-hop. After this close call, fans are curious if he will incorporate this experience into his music or talk about it publicly soon. A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie is truly grateful. A destroyed car is one thing, but walking away unharmed is a blessing that money can’t buy.

Kanye West Questions Kim Kardashian’s Control Over North’s Name

Kanye West is once again in the spotlight, and this time, it’s not just about his music or fashion. He recently took to Twitter to express his frustrations about something personal, why his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, holds the rights to their daughter North West’s name. He shared a legal document that outlined the trademarks associated with North’s name, asking his followers how they felt about the situation. This revelation comes amidst ongoing efforts for parents to co-parent their four children. While Kanye and Kim have tried to appear united for their kids, it’s evident there have still been unresolved tensions between them since their high-profile divorce.
At the heart of this issue isn’t just about the trademark rights but also about who has control over North’s future. Kim, who has built a successful business empire using her family name, took these legal steps to safeguard North’s name as a valuable asset. However, Kanye feels left out of this decision and worries about his father’s rights. Also, it’s worth noting that North has recently been making more public appearances, especially related to Kanye’s VULTURES project. This has led to speculation that Kim’s move to secure the trademarks could be a way of managing how North’s name is used in upcoming projects and businesses.
This situation raises important questions about parental rights and how celebrity children are raised in the public eye. Should Kanye have had a say before these trademarks were secured? Is Kim simply looking out for North’s future? Or is this just another episode in the ongoing power struggle between two of the world’s most famous stars? This is not the last time we’ll hear about Kanye and Kim’s complex relationship and their ongoing efforts to navigate co-parenting.
