Ross, who described himself as a longtime fan of LeBron, voiced disappointment and called the NBA player a 'piece of s**t.' He noted that LeBron had known Drake for years and even met his children, making it, in Ross's view, a betrayal for James to support a track that includes allegations against the Canadian rapper.
'This is not my beef,' Ross said, 'but I'm very close with Drake. It does affect how I see LeBron. You guys can call me parasocial, but how could you respect someone with no loyalty to someone they've known for 15 years?'
Ross's remarks quickly spread across social media, prompting a wave of reactions on platform X. Some users mocked Ross for appearing to value his connection to Drake over his relationship with LeBron James and his son Bronny. Others suggested Ross was overstepping by inserting himself into a dispute he wasn't directly involved in.
The incident comes days after Ross drew backlash for calling the WNBA a 'tax write-off' and claiming it generates 'no revenue,' further fueling criticism of his outspoken persona.

Drake asks Bobbi Althoff to unblock his name on Instagram amid lingering rumours of rift
Drake has made a direct request to Bobbi Althoff, asking her to unblock his name in her Instagram comments. The message, posted to her Story and now making the rounds online, read: 'UNBLOCK MY NAME FROM YOUR COMMENTS,' to which she replied, 'I'll consider it.' The Canadian rapper's plea comes after months of speculation surrounding his complicated relationship with the podcast host. Their viral 2023 appearance together on The Really Good Podcast sparked everything from romance rumours to alleged feuds, especially after the episode was mysteriously deleted just weeks later. Tension appeared to grow further when Bobbi was reportedly removed from Drake's SXSW afterparty for arriving uninvited. The timeline became even murkier when she filed for divorce from her husband, Cory, in February 2024, having begun their separation in July 2023, the same month her Drake interview aired. Despite the rumours, Bobbi has previously denied romantic links to Drake, sharing DMs with Dave Portnoy to dispel speculation. In a 2024 interview with Keke Palmer, she said, 'He's a very nice person,' though neither have spoken publicly about each other since. Drake's latest comment, shared via screenshot by Bars, has reignited interest in their relationship—especially as fans question why his name was ever blocked from her page.

Sparks fly in White House after 'South Park' Trump parody
The White House on Thursday lashed out at the creators of South Park after the bawdy satire skewered Donald Trump in an episode featuring an AI-generated version of the US president crawling naked through a desert, reported AFP. In a no-holds-barred season premiere, the animated Trump character is also seen begging Satan for sex, only to be rebuffed - in part because his penis is too small. The White House was not amused. "The Left's hypocrisy truly has no end — for years they have come after South Park for what they labeled as 'offence' content, but suddenly they are praising the show," White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in a statement to Variety. "Just like the creators of South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows." Rogers maintained that the show "hasn't been relevant for over 20 years" and is "hanging on by a thread" in a bid for attention. "President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history — and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak," he added. The adult animated series, which frequently touches on hot-button issues in American life, is now in its 27th season and remains one of the world's most valuable TV shows. The season premiere begins with the foul-mouthed Cartman appalled that NPR has been taken off the air by the president, while Randy, a parent, is disturbed by the presence of Jesus in public elementary school. Complaints to the fictional White House receive only a threat from Trump to sue the mountain town of South Park for billions of dollars. Meanwhile, the animated Trump is threatening to bomb Canada "like I did Iraq." "I thought you just bombed Iran," the Canadian prime minister replies. The episode, which sees the fictional Trump ride rough-shod over many aspects of American life, ends after the town of South Park makes a financial deal with the president that includes an agreement to make public service announcements. The AI generated short that follows — ostensibly one of those announcements — shows an overweight Trump staggering through a desert as a narrator casts him as a latter-day Jesus. The short ends with a naked Trump as the narrator says: "Trump. His penis is teeny-tiny, but his love for us is large." Merger The episode aired days after creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone reportedly penned a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount that gives the company global rights. The deal comes at a sensitive time for Paramount, which is trying to secure government approval for a multi-billion-dollar merger with entertainment company Skydance. The CBS parent caused a furor this month when it agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit Trump had brought over an interview the storied "60 Minutes" current affairs program aired with Kamala Harris ahead of last November's election. The payment was criticised by Democrats as little more than a bribe to help smooth the merger, with Paramount initially dismissing Trump's lawsuit as meritless. Last week CBS sparked fury after it cancelled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert whose host is a pointed critic of the president. The network insisted it was a financial decision, but opponents have painted the move as the latest example of American institutions bowing to Trump.

Doctor pleads guilty in Perry overdose case
A doctor charged in connection with the drug overdose death of actor Matthew Perry pleaded guilty Wednesday to supplying the Friends star with ketamine. Salvador Plasencia, 43, one of five people charged over Perry's death, pleaded guilty in a federal court in Los Angeles to four counts of distribution of ketamine. Plasencia is to be sentenced on December 3 and faces up to 40 years in prison. He will also surrender his medical license. Plasencia's attorney, Karen Goldstein, said after the hearing that her client regretted his actions. "Dr Plasencia is profoundly remorseful for the treatment decisions he made while providing ketamine to Matthew Perry," Goldstein said in a statement. "He is fully accepting responsibility... acknowledging his failure to protect Mr Perry, a patient who was especially vulnerable due to addiction." Plasencia did not provide Perry with the fatal dose of ketamine but supplied the actor with the drug in the weeks before he was found dead in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home. Another doctor, Mark Chavez, pleaded guilty in October to conspiring to distribute ketamine to Perry. Plasencia allegedly bought ketamine off Chavez and sold it to the American-Canadian actor at hugely inflated prices. "I wonder how much this moron will pay," Plasencia wrote in one text message presented by prosecutors. Jasveen Sangha, the alleged "Ketamine Queen" who supplied drugs to high-end clients and celebrities, is charged with selling Perry the dose that killed him. She has pleaded not guilty. Perry's live-in personal assistant and another man pleaded guilty in August to charges of conspiracy to distribute ketamine. The actor's lengthy struggles with substance addiction were well-documented, but his death at age 54 sent shockwaves through the global legions of Friends fans. A criminal investigation was launched soon after an autopsy discovered he had high levels of ketamine – an anesthetic – in his system. In his plea deal with prosecutors, Plasencia said he went to Perry's home to administer ketamine by injection and distributed 20 vials of the drug over a roughly two-week period in autumn 2023. Perry had been taking ketamine as part of supervised therapy for depression. But prosecutors say that before his death he became addicted to the substance, which also has psychedelic properties and is a popular party drug. Friends, which followed the lives of six New Yorkers navigating adulthood, dating and careers, drew a massive following and made megastars of previously unknown actors. Perry's role as the sarcastic man-child Chandler brought him fabulous wealth, but hid a dark struggle with addiction to painkillers and alcohol. AFP
