Snoop & Dre were the show The performers are performing the song “Next Episode”. The roof is falling off inside Cameron, haha. [alarm] After leaving, I woke up.
Meanwhile, another possible reason for the social media outage is the recent mockery of how much LeBron James spends on his body. But we don’t know why conservatives used the “Diddy” narrative to attack him during this social media blackout. We know they’re annoyed by Kamala Harris’ endorsement, but still…
