Jim Jones is standing on business regarding his bold claim that he's rapping better than Nas these days.
During a heated appearance on Shannon Sharpe and Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson's Nightcap podcast, Capo held his ground and let the shots fly. 'I can sing more Nas records than you right now!' Jones fired at Sharpe, defending his take with confidence. Then, turning to Ochocinco, he added, 'He don't even know about rap, he's just doing it for the views—trying to get Jim Jones on here to get hot.'
Jim was NOT feeling that one at all and said, '*Get him hot? Man, check the podcast space,' Sharpe clapped back made it clear that the night cap was 'The biggest podcast' the rapper has ever been one.
Even when the Harlem rapper tried to flip the convo by asking Sharpe to name a Nas track, Unc didn't flinch. 'You not on that level yet, bro,' he said. 'You might can out rap me, but you can't out talk me!' Jones eventually gave Sharpe his props, but not before throwing some shade at *Club Shay Shay*, saying nobody really cares about that show like they say they do.
This all started when Jim made noise on the Joe and Jada podcast, claiming he's got more Billboard hits than Nas and that he connects more with the younger crowd. Sharpe wasn't feeling it, and now it's turned into a full-blown debate, Hip-Hop credentials vs. Hall of Fame confidence.
This was an episode for the books. One thing's clear: Jim's standing on business, and Shannon's not letting anything slide.

Bobby Sherman, teen idol in 1960s and '70s, dies at age 81
Bobby Sherman, whose winsome smile and fashionable shaggy mop top helped make him into a teen idol in the 1960s and '70s with bubblegum pop hits like "Little Woman" and "Julie, Do Ya Love Me," has died, his wife said in a statement posted to social media. He was 81. His wife, Brigitte Poublon, announced the death Tuesday and family friend John Stamos posted her message on Instagram: "Bobby left this world holding my hand — just as he held up our life with love, courage, and unwavering grace through all 29 beautiful years of marriage. I was his Cinderella, and he was my prince charming. Even in his final days, he stayed strong for me. That's who Bobby was-brave, gentle, and full of light." Sherman revealed he had Stage 4 cancer earlier this year. American singer and teen idol Bobby Sherman, circa 1970. Photo bySherman was a squeaky clean regular on the covers of Tiger Beat and Sixteen magazines, often with hair over his eyes and a choker on his neck. His face was printed on lunch boxes, cereal boxes and posters that hung on the bedroom walls of his adoring fans. He landed at No. 8 in TV Guide's list of "TV's 25 Greatest Teen Idols." He was part of a lineage of teen heartthrobs who emerged as mass-market, youth-oriented magazines and TV took off, connecting fresh-scrubbed Ricky Nelson in the 1950s to David Cassidy in the '60s, all the way to Justin Bieber in the 2000s. Sherman had four Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart — "Little Woman," "Julie, Do Ya Love Me," "Easy Come, Easy Go," and "La La La (If I Had You)." He had six albums on the Billboard 200 chart, including "Here Comes Bobby," which spent 48 weeks on the album chart, peaking at No. 10. His career got its jump-start when he was cast in the ABC rock 'n' roll show "Shindig!" in the mid-'60s. Later, he starred in two television series — "Here Come the Brides" (1968-70) and "Getting Together" (1971). After the limelight moved on, Sherman became a certified emergency medical technician and instructor for the Los Angeles Police Department, teaching police recruits first aid and CPR. He donated his salary. "A lot of times, people say, 'Well, if you could go back and change things, what would you do?'" he told The Tulsa World in 1997. "And I don't think I'd change a thing — except to maybe be a little bit more aware of it, because I probably could've relished the fun of it a little more. It was a lot of work. It was a lot of blood, sweat and tears. But it was the best of times." Sherman, with sky blue eyes and dimples, grew up in the San Fernando Valley, singing Ricky Nelson songs and performing with a high-school rock band. "I was brought up in a fairly strict family," he told the Sunday News newspaper in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1998. "Law and order were important. Respect your fellow neighbor, remember other people's feelings. I was the kind of boy who didn't do things just to be mischievous." Singer Bobby Sherman at a recording session in Los Angeles, March 13, 1967. Photo by CBS via Getty Images He was studying child psychology at a community college in 1964 when his girlfriend took him to a Hollywood party, which would change his life. He stepped onstage and sang with the band. Afterward, guests Jane Fonda, Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo asked him who his agent was. They took his number and, a few days later, an agent called him and set him up with "Shindig!" Sherman hit true teen idol status in 1968, when he appeared in "Here Come the Brides," a comedy-adventure set in boom town Seattle in the 1870s. He sang the show's theme song, "Seattle," and starred as young logger Jeremy Bolt, often at loggerheads with his brother, played by David Soul. It lasted two seasons. Following the series, Sherman starred in "Getting Together," a spinoff of "The Partridge Family," about a songwriter struggling to make it in the music business. He became the first performer to star in three TV series before the age of 30. That television exposure soon translated into a fruitful recording career: His first single, "Little Woman," earned a gold record in 1969. "While the rest of the world seemed jumbled up and threatening, Sherman's smiling visage beamed from the bedroom walls of hundreds of thousands of teen-age girls, a reassuring totem against the riots, drugs, war protests and free love that raged outside," The Tulsa World said in 1997. His movies included "Wild In Streets," "He is My Brother" and "Get Crazy." Sherman pulled back from his celebrity career after several years of a frantic schedule, telling The Washington Post: "I'd film five days a week, get on a plane on a Friday night and go someplace for matinee and evening shows Saturday and Sunday, then get on a plane and go back to the studio to start filming again. It was so hectic for three years that I didn't know what home was." Sherman's pivot to becoming an emergency medical technician in 1988 was born out of a longtime fascination with medicine. Sherman said that affinity blossomed when he raised his sons with his first wife, Patti Carnel. They would get scrapes and bloody noses and he became the family's first-aid provider. So he started learning basic first aid and CPR from the Red Cross. "If I see an accident, I feel compelled to stop and give aid even if I'm in my own car," he told the St. Petersburg Times. "I carry equipment with me. And there's not a better feeling than the one you get from helping somebody out. I would recommend it to everybody." In addition to his work with the Los Angeles Police Department, he was a reserve deputy with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, working security at the courthouse. Sherman estimated that, as a paramedic, he helped five women deliver babies in the backseats of cars or other impromptu locations. In one case, he helped deliver a baby on the sidewalk and, after the birth, the new mother asked Sherman's partner what his name was. "When he told her Bobby, she named the baby Roberta. I was glad he didn't tell her my name was Sherman," he told the St. Petersburg Times in 1997. He was named LAPD's Reserve Officer of the Year for 1999 and received the FBI's Exceptional Service Award and the "Twice a Citizen" Award by the Los Angeles County Reserve Foundation. In a speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2004, then-Rep. Howard McKeon said: "Bobby is a stellar example of the statement 'to protect and serve.' We can only say a simple and heartfelt thank you to Bobby Sherman and to all the men and women who courageously protect and serve the citizens of America." Later, Sherman would join the 1990s-era "Teen Idols Tour" with former 1960s heartthrobs Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones of the Monkees and Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits. The Chicago Sun-Times in 1998 described one of Sherman's performances: "Dressed to kill in black leather pants and white shirt, he was showered with roses and teddy bears as he started things off with 'Easy Come, Easy Go.' As he signed scores of autographs at the foot of the stage, it was quickly draped by female fans of every conceivable age group." Sherman also co-founded the Brigitte and Bobby Sherman Children's Foundation in Ghana, which provides education, health, and welfare programs to children in need. He is survived by two sons, Christopher and Tyler, and his wife.

Jussie Smollett Announces He's Engaged To Actor Jabari Redd: 'He Said YES'
Source: John Parra / Getty Jussie Smollett is officially off the market since proposing to his boyfriend Jabari Redd. The actor has been with his partner for a long time now and decided to make things official over the weekend, sharing how it all went down with an Instagram post. The carousel captures the exact moment Smollett took a knee and flashed the ring box to Redd. In the following photos, an ecstatic Redd holds his hand out for Smollett to slip the ring on, before other shots show the newly engaged couple embracing each other. Another photo shows a smiling Smollett, while Redd is clearly still taking in the moment. In the post's last photo, it shows the simple ring, which appears to be a sterling silver band with a single diamond placed in the center. 'I'll be spending my birthday with my Fiancé… He said YES,' captioned the photo, noting his June 21 birthday. Smollett and Redd have kept the details of their relationship private, and little is known about Redd. IMDb notes that he's a New York native who is an actor, producer, and director, and was in a few episodes of The Chi . He also appeared alongside Smollett in 2024's Vivica A. Fox-led The Last Holiday , which Smollett also produced. The couple hasn't released any info on the upcoming wedding. Still, he's got a lot to celebrate with his 43rd birthday passing, a fiancée, and recently settling the case attached to his alleged 2019 hate crime hoax. He finally closed that chapter last month when he was ordered to reroute $50,000 in restitution to the charity of his choice, selecting the Chicago nonprofit Building Better Futures Center for the Arts, which assists underprivileged youth and their families by encouraging their interests through the arts. 'Making a donation to benefit Chicago communities that are too often neglected by those in power will always be something I support, his statement read. 'This organization was of my choosing, and I'm comforted that there will be at least one winner from this experience.'

Bobby Sherman, Easygoing Teen Idol of the 1960s and '70s, Dies at 81
Bobby Sherman, an actor and singer who became an easygoing pop-music star and teen idol in the late 1960s, and who continued performing until well into the 1980s, has died. He was 81. His wife, Brigitte Poublon, announced his death on Tuesday morning on Instagram, providing no other details. She revealed in March that Mr. Sherman had been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, though she did not specify the type of cancer. Mr. Sherman was 25 when he was cast in the comedy western that made him a star. On 'Here Come the Brides,' a one-hour ABC series, he played a bashful 19th-century Seattle lumberjack. George Gent, reviewing the show for The New York Times, declared Mr. Sherman 'winning as the shy and stuttering youngest brother,' although he predicted only that the show 'should be fun.' 'Here Come the Brides' ran for only two seasons (1968-70), but that was more than long enough for Mr. Sherman to attract a following: He was said to be receiving 25,000 pieces of fan mail every week. He had already become a successful recording artist, beginning with 'Little Woman,' which reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1969 and proved to be his biggest hit. He went on to score three other Top 10 singles in 1969 and 1970: 'La La La (If I Had You),' 'Easy Come, Easy Go' and 'Julie, Do Ya Love Me.' By the end of 1972 he had seven gold singles, one platinum single and 10 gold albums. When TV Guide in 2005 ranked the 25 greatest teen idols, Mr. Sherman took the No. 8 spot, ahead of Davy Jones and Troy Donahue. (David Cassidy was No. 1.) He appeared countless times on the cover of Tiger Beat, a popular magazine for adolescent girls. Even Marge Simpson, leading lady of the long-running animated series 'The Simpsons,' had a crush on Bobby Sherman, as she confessed to her daughter Lisa in one episode. Want all of The Times?
