I’m HATIN’: HATED It – School Daze

So, here are a few issues from last week, surrounding the teen and young adult population that are still just cause for HATIN. I’ll try to keep this short and sweet.

Twitter Beef between Chris Brown, Meek Millz, Drake and Rihanna
Let this INSANITY end!

It’s the typical “he said, she said” scenario, where everyone is talking big but, at the end of the day, NO ONE CARES.


This is how it all went down – Meek Millz started the online squabble by tweeting
"You took me off your song cause she let me watch da throne #dreamsandnightmares," Presumably a cheap shot about Chris Brown and his recent decision to not feature Millz on his soon-to-be released song, "Don't Judge Me." Millz added, “Taking these hatin’ ni88as bi***es every time”. Presumably speaking of his alleged romance with singer/actress Rihanna, Chris Brown’s former flame.


Brown, not new to “Twitter-Thugin’,” responded indirectly by tweeting “She's a dream chaser! There are alot of dreamers so she'll be running forever!", referenceing Millz mixtape, “Dreamchasers.”


Millz retorted, "Dese chicks belong 2 da game... not u! Never get confused and think that's all u!"


Drake, who has publicly acknowledged his feelings for Rihanna, jumped in to Meek's defense, writing on Twitter, "Oh that's your ho? That's our ho too. Lol. We get gyal eeeeaasy."


Brown, in an effort to have the last word tweeted, but than later deleted, "I'd like to send the bullshit a BiG FUCK YOU from the bottom of the ballz! Lol.. Real nigga! Goodnight!" He then tweeted, “This would be a dope ass movie!!!”


Rihanna, also not one to shy away from a good Twitter beef, especially one surrounding her, responds to the madness by saying “The best part is that EYE get to choose.”


DONE! This is high school drama in the worst kind of way.


Say it with me, ya’ll… HATED IT!

Athletic Scholarships to Rich Kids
So, the world is upset that Justin Combs, son of Sean “P Diddy” Combs, received an athletic scholarship to UCLA to play football. My advice?... Get Over IT!

Critics are attacking Justin for accepting the scholarship offer when his father, who’s estimated net worth is upwards of $550 million dollars, could easily afford the $54,000 annual tuition.

When did family earnings begin coming into play for athletic scholarships?

I think that people forgetting the fact that a Division I football scholarship is a significant achievement. Forbes estimates that there are roughly 250,000 high school seniors playing football each year and only 1,500 or so receive a scholarship to a BCS school. Telling Justin that he shouldn’t accept the scholarship diminishes the work he put in to get the offer.

What work, you ask? Well, Justin graduated with a 3.75 GPA, defining a model student athlete, and puts in more than 40 hours a week for football conditioning, practicing and school work.

Not only that, apparently the kid is talented enough to get recruited by top-notch schools/programs like UCLA.

Justin took to Twitter last week to defend his scholarship saying, “Regardless what the circumstances are, I put that work in!!!! PERIOD.”

Nuff Said!

Would we even be having this conversation if it were Donald Trump, Bill Gates or the Jolie-Pitt kids? I don’t think so.

Still HATIN’
