It was a big week for several popular artists and other celebrities. Future teased his new single, "Worst Days," when he sat down with viral dating adviser Kevin Samuels to engage in a therapy-style conversation.
“Last year, how much would you say you spent on women,” Samuels asks Future in the trailer.
“Probably I’d say around two, three … $3 million. Every time I see a beautiful woman, I have to splurge. I have to spoil 'em,” Future says in response.
The artist then gives a brief glimpse at his upcoming single, a song that appears to be telling the story of his addiction to spending money on women.
Snoop Dogg announced on Wednesday that he is officially in charge of Death Row Records.
"I am thrilled and appreciative of the opportunity to acquire the iconic and culturally significant Death Row Records brand, which has immense untapped future value," the rapper said in a statement, according to CNN. "It feels good to have ownership of the label I was part of at the beginning of my career and as one of the founding members. This is an extremely meaningful moment for me."
Snoop launched his career in the 1990s with the help of Death Row Records, which was founded by Dr. Dre, Suge Knight, the D.O.C. and Dick Griffey.

Zendaya made some buzz this week when the public got a chance to look at her wax figure at London's Madame Tussauds. According to PopSugar, the figure features the pink suit Zendaya first wore at The Rescue Gala in 2016.
Some fans, however, refused to believe that the figure looks like the Euphoria star.

Dave Chappelle is facing backlash after he spoke up at a town hall meeting in Yellow Springs, Ohio, to oppose an affordable housing project. According to the New York Post, the 48-year-said he would pull his business ventures from the community if they approved plans to develop 53 acres of residential housing.
Chappelle's representatives then issued a statement to Fox News to clarify his stance.
“Dave Chappelle didn’t kill affordable housing,” spokeswoman Carla Sims said in a statement to Fox News. “Concerned residents and a responding Village Council ‘killed’ a half-baked plan which never actually offered affordable housing.”
The development deal, according to the spokesperson, is "cloaked as an affordable housing plan."
"Three out of 143 lots would have been for ‘future’ affordable housing," Sims said. "The rest of the homes were to be priced between $250K and upwards of $600K. In Yellow Springs, and in many other places, that is not considered affordable housing. Instead, it’s an accelerant on the homogenization of Yellow Springs.”
Dave Chappelle personally came to a city council meeting and threatened to remove his $65m dollars of investments from his city if they allowed a developer to move forward with an affordable housing program. The objection wasn't to the build, but the affordable housing component. https://t.co/3ahCy1KqmN

Chappelle, who has plans of making investments in establishments such as a restaurant and comedy club, referred to the town council as "clowns."

After months of speculation, the Ben Simmons saga finally came to an end in Philadelphia. The All-Star, who has refused to play for the 76ers all season, finally got his wish on Thursday when he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets for James Harden, who was also rumored to be frustrated with his team.

Disturbing images appeared this week when DaBaby and his crew were captured on video allegedly fighting with DaniLeigh's brother, Brandon Bills, at a bowling alley in Los Angeles.
While employees said DaBaby was the aggressor, another witness said Bills first approached DaBaby and told him he didn't appreciate how the rapper treated DaniLeigh in the past, TMZ reports.
Another source said employees spent hours trying to clean the bowling alley after the fight. While DaBaby has been banned from the facility, Bills hasn't faced consequences.
DaniLeigh and DaBaby were seen in a video on social media in November while having a bitter argument at their home, which ended up with police getting involved.

A heated debate unfolded on Twitter after somebody complained about having pot roast for dinner. While some find the meal to be disgusting, others defended the dish, CW 33 reports.
I guess I’m a old cause pot roast sounds way more appealing to me than the Henny crab leg Alfredo dishes y’all be throwing on the Gram.

Pot roast is for hardworking, building, machine handling men anyway. You podcast poodles don’t deserve pot roast.
