As people continue to make jokes about the ridiculous cost of gas prices in recent weeks, Ice T decided to join the fun. The Grammy-winning artist went to Twitter on Thursday to mock the ludicrous prices.

“I was robbed at a gas station in NJ last night,” Ice T wrote. “After my hands stopped trembling..I managed to call the cops and they were quick to respond and calmed me down….. My money is gone.. the police asked me if I knew who did it..I said yes.. it was pump number 9…”

While rappers are usually known for releasing dis tracks about other artists, Pusha T decided to produce a dis track about McDonald’s. The rapper expressed himself on the new Arby’s commercial, taking shots at McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish sandwich.

“Filet-O-Fish is s**t/ You should be disgusted/ How dare you sell a square fish asking us to trust it,” Pusha T said in the ad.

Speaking with Rolling Stone, the rapper said he was not compensated properly after creating McDonald’s “I’m Lovin’ It” jingle.

“I am solely responsible for the ’I’m Lovin‘ It’ swag and the jingle of that company,” he said, according to Rolling Stone. “That’s just real. I am the reason. Now I gotta crush it.”

Pusha T also added a JAY-Z  reference in the ad, according to music journalist Sowmya Krishnamurthy.

Sen. Cory Booker delivered a powerful speech during the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson. As Jackson faced opposition from Republican senators, Booker said Jackson has “earned this spot.”

“You are worthy. You are a great American,” Booker told Jackson.

The senator, who is the fourth Black person elected to the U.S. Senate, also expressed gratitude to Black trailblazers who paved the way for leaders such as himself and Jackson, Yahoo reports.

“It’s hard for me not to look at you and not see my mom. Not to see my cousins, one of them who had to come here and sit behind you. She had to have your back. I see my ancestors and yours,” Booker told Jackson at the hearing, according to Yahoo. “But don’t worry, my sister. Don’t worry. God has got you. And how do I know that? You’re here, and I know what it’s taken for you to sit in that seat.”

Jackson and many others in the room were brought to tears during the speech.

Gabrielle Union continues to speak up in support of her family. Speaking with BuzzFeed, the actress said she and Dwyane Wade love all of their children “out loud.”

The family has been expressing a similar sentiment since their daughter Zaya came out as transgender at age 12 in 2019.

“It’s important for us to live and love out loud. We didn’t exactly understand why [supporting Zaya’s trans identity] was a thing because it’s like, we love all our kids out loud,” Union said.

JAY-Z is facing criticism for making plans to hold his Oscars afterparty at the Chateau Marmont Hotel, an establishment that is facing scrutiny for its treatment of their employees. According to The Hollywood Reporter, a local hotel workers’ union is leading a campaign to boycott the business in West Hollywood, California, as it faces allegations of racial discrimination and sexual harassment in the workplace.

“For JAY-Z to choose the Chateau Marmont for their Gold Party is shockingly insensitive,” Kurt Petersen, co-president of Unite Here Local 11, said in a statement. “They must move their event and choose an afterparty hot spot that treats its workers, especially Black women, with dignity and respect. Jay-Z has a responsibility to do better.”
