Nelly Attacks Kamala Harris Supporters After Fans Blast Him For Trump Inauguration Support
The Shade Room shared a clip of Nelly sitting with Hot 97's Ebro Darden doing promo with Ashanti for the pair's Peacock series, Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together. The clip shows the 'Hot In Herre' artist discussing how he has never endorsed any presidential candidate and pushing back against the assertion that he's a supporter of Trump after the performance.
As it often happens with The Shade Room, fans began hurling barbs in Nelly's direction, which got his attention via a lengthy response in where he defends his actions, blasts Kamala Harris, criticized her intteracial marriage, and stood up for Snoop Dogg, who also caught the ire of fans for assumed support of President Trump.
From The Shade Room:

Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Are Instagram Official
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are finally Instagram official, people! On Friday, the Kansas City Chiefs' tight end posted photos of him and Taylor together for the very first time on his social media. On July 25, on Instagram, he wrote, "Had some adventures this offseason, kept it 💯." In the photos, Taylor and Travis are full-on matching for an adorable date night. If you look super close, you can notice that Travis has Taylor as his cellphone lock screen. Eek! In the other photos, Tayvis are cozied up in winter gear as they hang out on an ice rink. The "Shake It Off" singer and Travis have apparently been spending lots of time together this year, and based on the pictures, Travis' family — his parents Donna and Ed, and his brother Jason have been part of the adventure as well. In other photos, they're pictured with their friends. And I'm living for these new pictures. We finally got an upgrade from all those random paparazzi and football game photos. The pair first sparked dating rumors in September 2023 after Taylor was spotted at several Chiefs' games. They seemingly confirmed their relationship the next month when they stepped out holding hands at a Saturday Night Live afterparty. And since they've always been randomly spotted together somewhere, but the official photos were scarce. And now, we have Instagram photos! The photos are going viral, and the people are losing their minds. With this news, it's time for me to play the 27-hour, 404 song "Taylor Swift Complete Collection" Spotify playlist on shuffle while I clean my house.

Trump's MAGA allies zero in on Ghislaine Maxwell as Epstein furor persists
The intensifying focus on the former girlfriend and accomplice of the now-deceased Epstein, a convicted sex offender and disgraced financier, represents the latest turn in a winding case that has long engaged conspiracy theorists and right-wing pundits. Maxwell, they say, can unmask powerful elites - many of them Democrats - who they believe the government has protected from prosecution. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Trump was once an acquaintance of Maxwell and Epstein and has also amplified conspiracy theories about the case. Now he finds himself under constant pressure to reveal more, even as the continued interest threatens him politically, with a slice of the world waiting to discover what else there is to know about his relationship to Epstein and whether it implicates the sitting president. Many MAGA luminaries who say Maxwell is vital to cracking the case would consider leniency, so long as she identifies the child rapists they say have gone unpunished and arms authorities with the evidence needed to convict them. Advertisement She spent hours this week in interviews with the Justice Department, marking the Trump administration's latest effort to show the president's base that he is doing something to release information about the Epstein case in response to political furor. Officials set off a firestorm among some of the president's supporters nearly three weeks ago by announcing that they were closing the case without further arrests or sharing any of the 'truckload of evidence' that Attorney General Pam Bondi said the FBI had received just months before. Advertisement Those interested in Epstein have long wondered what Maxwell might know, but fresh controversy over the case has elicited renewed urgency as additional accounts surface that illuminate the contours of Trump's relationship with Epstein. 'She is a living piece of evidence,' right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson said in an Instagram video, adding, 'If you're looking for the person to give you the truth about Epstein, there's no one better to give it to you.' Johnson then rattled off a string of conspiracy theories unsupported by facts, saying that Maxwell knows about whether Epstein was an intelligence asset, which agency he was working for, and who protected his powerful clients once Epstein was exposed. Johnson praised the Trump administration for going to her to get answers. 'This is what we've been calling for,' Johnson said, adding, 'This is what transparency looks like.' Charlie Kirk, founder of the influential right-wing nonprofit Turning Point USA, also applauded the Trump administration for 'going straight to the source' by interviewing Maxwell, which he said was evidence that officials were listening to 'the voices of the base.' Advertisement Kirk on his show floated the idea of federal officials striking a deal with Maxwell for information. 'This is so powerful. If anybody actually has the information of what has happened around Jeffrey Epstein, it's not going to be some James Comey-created file. It is going to be Ghislaine Maxwell,' he said. Right-wing commentators and conspiracy theorists have fixated on the Epstein case for years. He first faced criminal charges in 2006 related to the sexual exploitation of underage girls. Some, including current high-level Trump officials, accused the Biden administration of hiding critical information to protect powerful people who they believe participated in Epstein's alleged sex-trafficking crimes. As Trump returned to the White House, he and his top Justice Department appointees appeared to agree that the incoming administration should release more evidence. But the promised records never materialized, and the Justice Department and FBI on July 6 said in a memo that they would not release more information tied to the case, stating that a 'systematic review' failed to find evidence that would justify criminally investigating anyone else. Criminal investigative files typically are shielded from public view. Maxwell's 20-year sentence on a sex-trafficking conviction punctuated the stunning fall of a former socialite who, as the daughter of a British billionaire and former member of parliament, grew up in luxury, among power brokers. Her lawyers said she met Epstein in the 1990s after the death of her father, who was posthumously accused of embezzling large sums from his companies. Maxwell dated Epstein, a financier, and later worked as his employee, a role prosecutors said she used to traffic young sexual abuse victims to Epstein. Maxwell denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty, but in 2021, a jury convicted her of sex trafficking a minor and related crimes. Advertisement Epstein was found dead in his jail cell while awaiting trial in 2019. His death was ruled a suicide.
