Azealia Banks wants to witness the downfall of BET.

 Compared to a few years ago, BET has been losing interest among viewers for their original content with some of their most popular programming being canceled. One of their most successful yearly happenings, however, is always the BET Awards. Bringing together the hip-hop and R&B communities, BET has always been at the forefront of celebrating black culture in music. While their efforts have been praised by some, others like Azealia Banks want to see the company shut down for good. While her reasoning is unclear, it likely has to do with her previous comments about black media companies damaging her brand back in 2015. Preferring Diddy's Revolt TV, Azealia is crossing her fingers for a Revolt award show in the future to finally take down BET once and for all.

Never one to be silenced, Miss Banks tweeted earlier that she wishes BET was shut down for good, stating, "Bet is dead and it isn’t coming back. I wouldn’t hire anyone who’s worked for BET at revolt or any other media company. Let them sink." While the blame is likely not to be aimed at the employees representing the brand, Azealia makes her thoughts clear as she always does. While her controversial opinions may cause some to stray from her artistry as a whole, she may be on to something here. While her thoughts are not entirely elaborated on, it would be interesting to hear her clarify her comments and justify why BET should be canceled.

On the Revolt front, it appeared as though the company was doomed for failure after Diddy laid off one-third of his Revolt staff but after a deal was announced with Joe Budden recently, Revolt looks to be back on track

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions.

 Sky Sports were left red-faced after an on-screen graphic mistakenly introduced Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as Noni Madueke on Tuesday night. The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley.
