On Friday, May 6, 2022, Dreams and Nightmares rapper Meek Mill turned 39 years old, celebrated his birthday at the club, and performed the Dreams and Nightmares record in front of a huge crowd. Someone else who was in attendance was a four-time NBA Champion and former Miami Heat forward LeBron James.
It was an excellent birthday for Meek, and he was able to get paid for the appearance on Friday night from the venue. His Sixers beat the Heat by 20 [99-79] during game three, and MVP candidate Joel Embiid also returned after having an Orbital Fracture and recorded 18 points, 11 rebounds, and one assist. Plus, he built enough equity for LeBron James to come out and support him.
Speaking of Meek Mill, he recently asked Elon Musk if he could invest in Twitter after Musk bought out the company.
“Elon Musk let us invest in Twitter with you ‘big homie.”
As for LeBron James, the former ESPN host turned podcaster with The Athletic, Michelle Beadle, In a recent episode of The Sessions podcast with Renee Paquette, shared her experience with the Lakers forward.
James slid in her DMS to confront Beadle about her comment toward him on television. She admitted to criticizing him for leaving Cleveland in 2010 for Miami.
“I made fun of ‘The Decision,’ and I was one of about a bazillion people that did,” she said. “I guess this was a long time ago when I followed him, and I got a DM: ‘ Why are you so mean to me on television?’ And I just sort of laughed it off, I didn’t even think about it.”
Beadle also revealed that she wasn’t James’ only target in the media.
“Of course I took it personally, it was personal, he wanted me fired, he tried to do that,” she shared.
“But then I found out after the fact, when all of this sort of came out, I would get messages or texts or videos from people being like, that kind of s*** was happening to them too. He was super petty and he would try to have some sort of an effect, whether it would be small or whatever, just an effect.”
