The impact of this song on sports and its longevity is incredible. Cuz it slaps every time
Mona was cookin
Mona clarified that she never attacked Cardi B. Her issue was with Cardi saying the colorism conversation has nothing to do with her because she worked hard to get where she is.
Mona said Cardi is wrong about that. Being light-skinned and her heritage has absolutely something to do with her success, and acknowledging that doesn't mean she didn't work hard or isn't talented.
Mona even brought up her own success to prove the point, and Marc agreed with her completely.
Ish, on the other hand, didn't say a word, even though he disagreed with everything Mona was saying. He just kept drinking, waiting for Joe to speak so he could jump in, and that's exactly what happened. Joe said he disagreed with Mona because Cardi B worked really hard to be where she is. Then Ish jumped in to explain how people called Cardi ugly back when she was working at the night club.
Thank God Marc was there to strengthen Mona's point. He said the best person to make the case about colorism is a light-skinned woman like Mona herself.
Mona also pointed out a flaw in Joe and Ish's argument: if people said Cardi was ugly, what do they say about dark-skinned women who get called ugly? It's a thousand times worse for these dark skin women .
I honestly don't get why Joe and Ish were acting like Mona was saying something crazy. And again, thank God Marc was there to back up her point. Mona deserves applause for this, and so does Marc for having her back because without Marc Mona would have handled it differently .

I still stand by my take that Muggsy has maybe the most impressive NBA career of all time. First round pick at 5’3, playing that long in a time when the league was very physical. You’ll never see someone his size in the nba again, let alone a 1st round pick.
Muggsy Bogues breaks down in tears during the press conference about his upcoming Charlotte @hornets jersey retirement.
Muggsy reflected on the support from his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland and Dunbar High School after the announcement of his honor.

Fun fact: Bron only played 1 active First Team All NBA player during this entire eastern playoff run from 2011-2018. And it was D Rose.

Jordan Belfort, ordered to repay his victims $110,400,000, says he chose an FBI wire over 30 years in prison. When it was time to record a close friend, he warned him with a note: "I'm wired." The friend betrayed him and handed the note to the FBI.
In the video below, he explains what that note cost him.
The movie showed the money he made. It skipped the money people lost.
Stratton Oakmont had over 1,000 brokers cold-calling ordinary people. They pushed cheap stocks Stratton secretly controlled, the price went up, and insiders sold at the top. The clients were left holding shares that soon were worth almost nothing.
1,513 people lost an estimated $200,000,000. By 2013, they had gotten back about $11,000,000, most of it from selling property the government seized.
Belfort wasn't the only one talking. His partner Danny Porush, the man Jonah Hill's character is loosely based on, was cooperating too. The prosecutor said the government needed both of them, "but to do so separately without each other's knowledge."
After that note, Belfort says, he stopped protecting anyone. One of the men he helped prosecutors build a case against was Steve Madden, the man behind one of America's best-known shoe brands.
Stratton took Madden's company public in 1993. The SEC said Belfort secretly kept a big stake in it through a fake sale of his shares to a company Madden owned.
Madden also helped Stratton rig 22 IPOs. He got shares before the public, sold them back to Stratton at a set profit, and Stratton's brokers resold the same shares to clients at higher prices.
He had to give back $5,183,450 and pay a $1,000,000 fine.
Madden had been Porush's best friend since childhood. He was sentenced to 41 months and served about 31. Belfort served 22.
Madden later said Belfort "ratted me out to save himself."
Last year, the company with his name on it brought in $2,534,000,000.
Belfort tried to save one friend and got sold out. He didn't try to save his partner's best friend, and that man's name is still on shoe boxes across America.
