Rapper Cam’ron has some unconventional opinions on whether dinosaurs ever existed

During a sit-down interview with ItsTheReal’s, A Waste of Time podcast, rapper Cam’ron took the time to share some interesting thoughts about dinosaurs and if they actually ever existed.

Speaking on the movie Jurassic Park with hosts Eric Rosenthal and Jeff Rosenthal back in October, the video of the Dipset artist just made its rounds where he can be heard saying that he has his suspicions of whether dinosaurs actually walked on this earth, Complex reports. 

“I have fights with people about dinosaurs and their existence all the time,” he said. “I’m not believing or disbelieving. It’s like no proof, like, because they throw these big bones . . . up into the museum and be like ‘Yo, these are the people that were here before us.'”

The hosts appeared to be taken aback by Cam’ron’s comments.

“No, no see that is the proof,” Eric hilariously said in response to Cam’ron’s statement. 

In response, Cam’ron questioned whether dinosaur bones were strong enough to be displayed in museums and “not crumble.” 

“I’m not necessarily going for that,” he said. “If we get more proof on it, cool. I’m not going off museum facts. I been to every museum when I was young. I’m like, word? So they found all these bones and glued them together? Nah. I’m not sure I’m gonna go for that one. It sounds like more of a moneymaker to me.”

The hosts, still in shock from these surprising opinions also took the time to see whether he believes the Earth is flat or round. He did clarify that he does side with the majority of people who know our planet is round, but went back to further explain his statement on dinosaurs by emphasizing that he’s not depending on “museum facts” or “finding bones” to determine whether they actually existed.

 “Like, we need a little more proof and I don’t know whatever proof you could give me,” Cam’ron said. “But who found these bones? . . . I wish I could be an archaeologist and be like ‘I found some shit!’ I’ll be at the beach every day and be like ‘Yo, look what I discovered!’ and just make some shit up.”

Ja Rule drops new track called “FYRE”

It looks like Ja Rule is still trying to benefit from the controversy surrounding the Fyre Festival.

The rap artist released his new single called, “Fyre” this week and rebranded the name of the fraudulent festival by changing the meaning of the title to “For Your Real Entertainment,” according to Complex.

Ja Rule posted the announcement on his Instagram with a picture of the song’s artwork. He also gave his followers the opportunity to listen to the song where he explains what actually went down in the Bahamas.

“For Your Real Entertainment…

Fyre…🔥🔥🔥 New album release date LEAP YEAR!!! Until then Have fun!!! love y’all… Rule❤️ 12.Twelve.XII #Iconn 🖼: @supremerivi11

The track samples instrumentals from Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick’s legendary song “The Show.” It is accompanied by some interesting lyrics from the rapper. 

“The fest—the festival is on fire/We don’t need no water, make that motherfucker hotter,” Rule says in the song. “Hotter than the sun, but it wasn’t that/Show of hands if you got your money back?/Just playing, I got sued for that/100 mil to be exact.”

The Fyre Festival was one of the most talked-about music gatherings of the decade. The 2017 festival scammed thousands of people out of their money for what was supposed to be “a luxury musical festival,” according to NBC News.

Ja Rule, whose formal name is Jeffrey Atkins and Fyre Fest’s chief marketing officer, Grant Margolin were recently dismissed from the $100 million lawsuits tied to the festival in November, Billboard reported.

He apparently didn’t waste any time to release the song and based on comments under his post, it looks like fans are really liking it.

The rap artist also announced that he is set to release a new album next year.

I’m still working on the album it’s coming out dope… be patient wit me I’m working on a lot!!!,” he wrote. “Feb. 29 new date my bday…”

Grio fam, are you excited to hear new music from Ja Rule?

Lizzo and mayor Pete Buttigieg pose in ‘not so good’ photo

Multi-talented artist, Lizzo was reportedly not feeling her interaction with presidential candidate, Pete Buttigieg during their appearance on CBS This Morning show on Thursday.

The Time’s “Entertainer of the Year” posed in a photo with the Indiana mayor barely “cracking a smile,” Mashable reports.

Buttigieg appeared to take advantage of the moment standing alongside the popular artist in an attempt to get cool points by mixing politics and entertainment.

When host, Gayle King asked him to describe himself in three words, he responded, “Standing near Lizzo, right now.”

Lizzo then followed up with her response to the question by saying “Glamorous, talented, and booty-ful.”

Referencing one of Lizzo’s popular songs “Truth Hurts” King then asked Buttigieg if recently took a DNA test and he responded, “Yes, and I am 100 percent that nominee …”

Lizzo nervously interrupted the presidential candidate by making sure that he did not state the original lyrics to the song, but showed signs of relief when he took another route. 

It seems like the photo Buttigieg posted of the two at the morning show, with the caption, Feeling good after chatting with @lizzobeeating on set at @cbsthismorning!”

Feeling good after chatting with @lizzobeeating on set at @cbsthismorning!

A post shared by Pete Buttigieg (@pete.buttigieg) on

 But it looks like Lizzo wasn’t apparently feeling the same way. She revealed how she felt about their time on-camera together in the pic, and users on social media noticed, according to the site. 

Twitter user @bridgetgillard stated, “I’ve never seen Lizzo look uncomfortable, another accomplishment for the accomplishment candidate.”

Other Twitter users interpreted their own take of the photo as well. Writer Ira Madison captioned the photo, “Green Book (2018)” in reference of the controversy behind the film winning Best Picture last year. While another user pointed out the awkward placement of the Toyota sign in the background. 

Let’s hope the presidential candidate doesn’t have any other awkward interactions with entertainers in the future.
