🎤 Yo, what’s good fam? So word on the block is BET just hit pause on  both  the Hip Hop Awards  and  the Soul Train Awards. Yeah, you heard that right. The two shows that been holdin’ it down for the culture—Suspend. And folks out here confused, mad, and straight up disappointed. These shows was more than just red carpets and performances… they was  ours . The hood Grammys. The cookout on TV.

That don’t make sense to me.” But let’s be real—he ain’t broke. His pops, LaVar Ball, built Big Baller Brand from scratch. His brothers Lonzo and LaMelo got NBA money. Gelo grew up in mansions, not Section 8. So when he talk about “can’t live off that,” it hit different. You not tryna survive—you tryna thrive. 🏀 From Hoops to Hooks Gelo was supposed to be the swaggiest out the Ball trio. He had the jumper, the build, the confidence. But he also had to be the cool guy. That’s why he got caught stealin’ Louis shades in China while at UC...
