The crew weighed in on rapper Young Thug sparking debate after telling students in Georgia that “fame is like money” and one of the most important assets a person can have, a message that quickly went viral and generated mixed reactions online about success in the social media era. Meanwhile, boxing champion Claressa Shields had fans buzzing after joking on social media that she might be pregnant following her dominant victory over Kaye Scott, a win that improved her unbeaten record and saw her reclaim the WBA and WBC middleweight titles. The show also dug into the ongoing chatter surrounding Shield’s relationship with Papoose and the public speculation that continues to follow the couple.
