In a recent interview, Eminem has opened up about... ongoing tension with Dr. Dre over ownership of Shady Records. “I’ve been asking for a bigger ownership share in Shady Records. We co-founded that label back in 1999, and I’ve been a major force behind its success for over 25 years. I feel I deserve more control. I’ve carried a lot of the weight for this label over the years. The artists, the success, the longevity I’ve put in the work. But Dre doesn’t see it that way. He acts like he’s already been more than fair, but the truth is he always wants to keep the power to himself. People see Dre as this wise, calm mentor figure, but behind closed doors he’s controlling and selfish when it comes to business. He doesn’t like giving up ownership in anything Aftermath, Shady, none of it. He wants to stay on top while everyone else stays underneath. I’ve respected him for a long time, but this situation has shown me a different side of him. It’s causing real tension between us, and I’m not going to pretend everything is fine.”show more

The thing I love most after enlistment is how... Jimin’s light isn’t just bright. It’s the brightest it has ever been. There’s a glow to him, a quiet radiance with that warm aura you can feel in his smile and those soft giggles. Like I said in my post, he looks freer. I’ve been a Jimin bias for a long time, from the very beginning, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen him shine quite like this. I keep going through old memories because this version of him carries pieces of every era I fell in love with. Maybe it’s simply been too long since we’ve seen him like this. Maybe I’m overwhelmed and grateful that he’s truly back. Maybe. Maybe not. But something about him now tells me he’s okay. He feels more grounded, more secure in himself, standing in a place that feels steady under him. His confidence is quiet but unmistakably real. And just to be clear, it’s not that he lacked confidence at any point in the last ten years. He always had it. What I mean is that this Jimin… it’s a different kind. It's a“He doesn’t give a fuck” kind of confidence, the type that comes from knowing himself completely and choosing to live in that freedom. Every single thing about him right now is just beautiful. The way he moves, the way he laughs, the way he carries this calm, freeing aura. It makes me happy… genuinely and deeply happy to witness this version of him.show more

The past year has seen me have a renaissance,... in the truest sense… I won’t go into details now but will at some point before long. What has brought so much happiness to my life and those around me this past year has been my falling back in love with sport. Cycling has, and always will be, my number one. Yet I’d forgotten that I simply love sport, not for results but for the sheer joy of doing it, I’d completely forgotten that the health of my mind is intrinsically connected to the health of my body. I’ve rediscovered the love I had for sport that existed before the world of professional cycling took over in the way it did. I’ve been pushing myself and trying new things this past year, indifferent to the results, just out having fun and at times going deeper than I thought I was capable of anymore. Last week I got on a TT bike for the first time in a decade, Factor Bikes built me a bike, I’ve been looking at it for two years and decided it was time to get fitted, getting back on it felt like going home. Anyway, the long and the short of this is that it’s inspired me to create a club to inspire and be inspired. A community for us to share our love for getting out there and doing it, because I’ve realized that although I spend most of my sporting life on my own I derive the most pleasure when feeling part of something. It’s in its early days, I’ve called it Sporting Club CHPT3 aka SCC3, I’d love you to check it out and join. It’s still in its infancy, but I hope it’s going to grow into something that will inspire you as much as me.show more

First time doing the Swiss bar bench press in... many years. Starting on the lighter side and will be gradually adding more weight over the coming weeks and months. Rebuilding my shoulder and getting it as functional as possible has been one of the greatest challenges I’ve ever faced, but I’ve never stopped. It’s been 10 years, and I continue to get better, stronger, and more capable. I have no regrets. I’ve avoided a shoulder replacement, I’ve avoided surgeries, and most importantly, I’ve refused to give up on myself. To anyone out there who has given up on themselves, I genuinely hope you find the strength to pick yourself back up and keep going. Progress doesn’t always happen quickly, but it does happen for those who refuse to quit. And that’s the last bite. Feed Me More!show more

rewatching ep 4 for the nth time and I... think this is going to be one of those scenes that stays with me for a very long time😭it isn’t just Pete crying, he completely breaks down like full sobbing, barely holding himself together, curling into a ball of grief hiding himself in the blanket like years of pain finally poured out at once. When you think about everything we know about Pete, he’s just 24, yet he’s been emotionally exhausted for years. His gang is younger than him, meaning he can’t really share anything with them. His sister neglects him, and the way he talks about his relatives makes it obvious that his family life is filled with distance rather than care😔 It’s the first time Pete has ever talked about his past, not running from it but actually saying it out loud while someone quietly listens to him. Niran doesn’t interrupt Pete or try to comfort him. He looks composed the whole time, but I can feel his emotions through the silence, the sigh, the way he listens. He is simply lying there but it’s a safe space for Pete to unravel, which is why Pete later says that people feel at ease around Niran. It’s not cuz Niran is affectionate, it’s cuz he says things as they are and that helps Pete feel like he can be himself around him, even at his most broken moment. The scene before where he was furious with Pete, he’s not judging Pete’s life, he’s just giving him the hard truth. He doesn’t sugarcoat things, but he also doesn’t invalidate Pete’s pain. Instead, he’s trying to make Pete realize that his life has value, but he’s letting anger, recklessness and negative emotions get the best of him. And for someone like Pete, who spent most of his life feeling unwanted and unseen, this kind of brutal honesty is what he needs to turn over a new leaf🥹show more

I’ve been working on something called tension management. This... is a perfect example of it. You have to be very calm physically and mentally. I’ve most of the time sucked it at so it’s nice to see it pay off in intense moments / matches like this one. Slowly but surely 👊show more

Sorry I’ve been missing for the past month. I’ve... been a little busy 😅 A lot of long hours spent planning, shooting, and creating but it was all worth it in the end! Thanks to everyone for their positive feedback! It means the world to us! More BTS soon 🙌show more

In a rare sit-down interview this week, Taylor Swift... was asked whether her relationship has ever made her reconsider the pace of her career. She didn’t hesitate. “I’ve been very clear from the beginning,” she said. “This is the most productive and successful period of my life, and I’m not interested in dialing any of it back. We had a conversation about it early on. He floated the idea of me taking more time off, maybe adjusting the schedule so we could have more normal days together. I shut it down immediately.” When pressed on how that conversation went, Swift was direct. “He was disappointed. That’s fair. But I told him this isn’t a phase I’m going to grow out of. The work comes first right now. The tours, the albums, the business side of everything this is the version of my life I’ve spent years building. I’m not about to step away from it because someone else is ready for a quieter chapter. He eventually understood that. Or at least he accepted it. There’s a difference.” Asked whether she worries about the long-term impact on the relationship, she replied: “I think about it, sure. But I’m not going to make decisions out of fear. If the relationship can only survive if I become a smaller version of myself, then it was never going to last anyway. Right now my momentum is everything. He knows where he stands in the order of priorities, and he’s still here. That says enough for me.”show more

I’ve been in professional sport for 30 years. Adrian... “The Next” King is in the top 1 of athletes when it comes to attitude and application I’ve ever seen and I don’t say that lightly. Nobody can touch him when it comes to discipline and application. We are 7 years into a 20 year planshow more

After a lot of thinking, I’ve decided it’s time... for me to step away from NBA Twitter. This community has given me a lot of great memories over the years, but I feel like I’ve outgrown this chapter of my life. Lately I’ve found a new passion that I want to put my full time and energy into, and I don’t think I can keep balancing both. To everyone who’s followed me, interacted with my posts, argued with me about basketball, laughed with me, or supported me along the way—thank you. I genuinely appreciate it more than you know. Maybe our paths will cross again someday, but for now, this feels like the right decision. Take care love all of you guys ❤️show more

Interesting development - I was told numerous stories about... what happened yesterday at Crosby. One being it was a group of Asian men attacking teenage girls. Some as young as 14. I dismissed it as rumours and told people to watch out for racism. People unfairly targeting Asians and making lies up about them. But I’ve just been sent this. Now unless there is a conspiracy to frame them. It’s now looking like this is the case. The only other possibility is that this was 2 separate incidents. But either way we can’t live in peace with savages who do this on a public beach in front of families. I don’t want to speculate. So I’m going to bite my tongue on this for the time being in case I’m wrong. It has since been confirmed that teenage girls have been attacked with a bladed item. But the attacker has not been confirmed. I’m currently speaking to the Echo to work out what’s going on.show more

Kylian Mbappé was asked in a recent interview how... he felt about Lionel Messi during the World Cup. “I never got the chance to go head-to-head with him on that stage, and honestly I wanted it,” Mbappé said. “I wanted that final. I wanted to line up against him and put him in his place when the whole world was watching.” He didn’t hold back: “FIFA has spent years protecting him. The system bends over backwards for him and everyone in the game knows it. He’s a fraud who’s been carried by referees and media narratives for far too long. We all knew how he rigged the 2022 World Cup. FIFA is always in his favour.” Mbappé added: “Guys like him get treated like they’re untouchable while the rest of us have to fight for every scrap of recognition. It’s a complete farce.”show more

Watching all of this go down for the last... five months has been like watching 2020 happen all over again. That’s the only other time I’ve felt anything remotely like this—where the truth is so obvious almost immediately, yet masses of people fall for the lie. And keep falling for it. In Los Angeles, the response to COVID went on for two straight years without stopping. It was a constant battle, and it was exhausting. This feels just like that. But I pray it’s shorter lived.show more

Look at that horizon! Hear the creaking! 🤢🥲 Not... going to lie, I am struggling, mostly with the relentlessness of so many rough sea days one after the other. This definitely isn’t the roughest seas I’ve had and I’ve felt much much worse before, but never so many sea days in a row. 😅🚢 I’m so grateful I’m not a crew member because I am useless for anything much other than napping. I did have grand plans to catch up on a lot of work while here but that’s not happening. 😂😂 It’s a shame because she’s such a brilliant ship, the entertainment is great, the staff have been lovely and there’s lots of yummy food, but I don’t feel I can take full advantage of it. 🤢🥲 Ps, has anybody ever tried hypnotherapy for seasickness? I’ve tried every prevention and remedy in the world over the last 19 years and now I’d try anything. Seasickness is so miserable. 😅🙏🏼show more
