Nancy Grace and 2 Chainz Clash Over Pot Smoking
Surprising as it may have been, 2 Chainz was a guest on a recent episode of Nancy Grace, where he engaged the conservative host in a heated discussion over the legalization of marijuana.
Grace tried to scold 2 Chainz over his support of the herbal drug, and utilized disturbing footage of parents who have forced their children to smoke at a very early age. Chainz remained very calm and spoke intelligently and respectfully the entire time, as he battled back and rebutted some very compelling points about how legalizing weeds “frees up” taxpayer money. While Grace believes that legalizing the drug throughout the nation will encourage many irresponsible people to put their children in harms way, Chainz explained to her that this is no different from irresponsible parents and people in general who abuse the legalization of alcohol.
Their debate was capped off by 2 Chainz using his “Truuu” slogan at the end. The video of their debate has gone viral and fans have been chiming in on the subject with various people supporting both sides of the argument.

Manny Pacquiao Agrees to Fight Floyd; Floyd’s Agreement Pending
The fight that every single boxing fan has waited years to see, Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao, has finally taken a big step forward in the direction of the fight actually going down on May 2nd.
In recent weeks, Manny and Floyd have been sending loads of jabs back and forth on Instagram, taunting each other to fight with the bulk of those challenges coming from Pacquiao.
In the past, random drug testing was an issue, and then later the issue became a fair monetary split between them. Now, after much consideration, Pacman has agreed to the terms laid out before him in order to lock down a fight with Mayweather.
According to ESPN Senior Boxing Writer Dan Rafael, Manny has in fact agreed to undergo the random drug testing that Floyd has been demanding for so long, and even agreed to pocket a significantly smaller purse than what he previously demanded. Rafael believes that Manny truly wants this fight to happen, and is more than willing to sacrifice his own personal income in order to please the fans’ desire to see these two Titans rumble in the ring.
Despite the public’s many cries for Mayweather and Manny to finally throw hands, Rafael isn’t completely sure if Floyd will accept the fight despite Manny agreeing to his terms. Rafael thinks that Floyd would like to be in more control of the situation than he already is, and may have less incentive to fight Pacman now that he is basically guaranteed to make $30 million for each of his two remaining fights on his Showtime contract.
Only time will tell if Floyd agrees to fight Manny on May 2nd. In the meantime, Manny has continued to throw jabs at Floyd on Instagram, egging him on to fight.
Tyga Facing $10,000 Fine Over Missed Court Date
Tyga will soon be embarking on a new business venture, selling gold-plated rolling papers. Before that company launches, however, the Compton rapper will have to deal with his already shaky business deals, shaky mostly because he missed his court date to settle a dispute with former business partner Glennon Marrero.
Marrero claims the “Rack City” rapper never paid him for his designs and contributions to Tyga’s Last Kings clothing line. Since Tyga missed the meeting set up to squash the issue, he’s now been hit with a $10,000 fine. Tyga reportedly claims that he gave Marrero part of the company, and also noted that Marrero left the company back in 2012. Still, missing a mandatory court date will always lead to trouble, and here it is.
