Donald Trump confirmed his long-promised $2,000 tariff dividend checks won’t arrive this holiday season but will instead roll out in 2026, aligning with the midterm elections and drawing scrutiny over both timing and legality.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One over the weekend, Trump said the payments would be delayed until next year, citing tariff revenues as the funding source.

“It will be next year,” Trump said, according to the New York Post. “The tariffs allow us to give a dividend. We’re going to do a dividend, and we’re also going to be reducing debt.”

The announcement dashed hopes among Americans who had anticipated financial relief ahead of the Christmas shopping season.

Instead, the checks are now expected to land during a politically sensitive window—just as the 2026 midterms heat up.

The Truth Social post that introduced the plan on November 9 painted a rosy economic picture and promised widespread payouts.

However, the plan faces serious legal and logistical hurdles.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox News on Sunday morning (November 16) that the proposal would require congressional approval. “We will see,” Bessent said. “We need legislation for that.”

Adding to the uncertainty, the Supreme Court is now reviewing whether Trump’s use of emergency powers to impose broad tariffs is constitutional. That legal challenge could dismantle the entire foundation of the dividend scheme, which depends entirely on revenue from imported goods.

Trump acknowledged the risk during his Air Force One remarks, admitting he would “have to do something else” if the high court strikes down his tariff authority.

Unlike the COVID-era stimulus checks, which were funded through federal borrowing, Trump’s plan banks solely on tariff income.

Critics have questioned whether that revenue stream can realistically support $2,000 payments to most Americans while also reducing the national debt.

The timing of the checks—set to arrive just as voters head to the polls—has drawn attention from political analysts who see the move as a calculated effort to sway public opinion during a critical election cycle.

This Miami dancer’s storytime is a reminder to all about strip club etiquette. After a customer refused to pay up, Caitlin moved on. Did the customer have a right to be upset?

TikTok user Caitlin (@caitlinsometimescherry) tells us about a night on the job and three different customer interactions. The first customer was an elderly man that the club’s host manager had asked Caitlin to rush into work for. 

“The guy ends up being a total dud,” Caitlin says. After she told the customer that lap dances are three for $100, the man complained that it’s too much money. Caitlin decides to not waste any further time and leaves this customer.

Miami Strip Club Dancer Rejects a ‘Regular’

The next customer is described by Caitlin as a man in about his mid 30s. Caitlin had noticed that several dancers had been stopping by this guy’s table and leaving after just a few minutes.

“When you see customers calling girls over and sending them away, it’s usually because they’re not spending and no girl is staying and sitting or girls are asking for money and the guy’s saying no and the girl is leaving. So immediately I was like I feel like this guy is [expletive],” Caitlin explains.

Caitlin ends up at that guy’s table and they say that he immediately started touching her thighs without having given her any money.

“In strip club world, you don’t let these guys touch or do anything for free, like that’s the whole point,” Caitlin explains. Caitlin takes his hand and pulls it off of her and the guy complains about the fact that he can’t touch her.

They keep chatting and Caitlin asks him if he wants a dance or a room. They guy says he’s not ready for that right now. Caitlin then asks the man if he can take care of her for sitting next to him and keeping him company. It’s not clear if he ended up giving them the money or not, but generally, she says the vibe was off because the guy couldn’t keep up a conversation. 

Dancers in strip clubs have the right to refuse harassment and unwanted touch according to the organization, Strippers United, just like any other person.

Customer Tries to Get Revenge

Eventually, Caitlin explains to the customer she needs to leave because her manager is directing her to another area of the club. The customer rudely accuses her of lying, but Caitlin ignores him and proceeds to greet another group of customers.

Caitlin later sees the man approach one of her managers on the floor. The manager later tells to Caitlin that the customer asked the manager to make Caitlin leave. The customer, who is Black, accuses Caitlin of racism and complains that she asked for money and wouldn’t let him touch her.

The host manager explained to the guy that the dancers are independent contractors and can do whatever they want on the floor and that pretty much he can’t get Caitlin in trouble.

“Me getting up and walking away got me $5,200 of profit last night, so I don’t really think it was a loss,” says Caitlin towards the end of the video.

This is considered a very good night in dancing. The amount of money dancers make can vary on several factors like the city you are in, how well known the club is and even the weather. However, earnings typically range from $400 to $5,000 a night according to Nakase Law Firm. 

Viewers React to the Customer’s Complaint

Viewers are on Caitlin’s side and are unsure why the man is surprised by Caitlin’s ask for money.

“’She was asking for money,’ like that isn’t the entire point of the job,” says one viewer.

“Because why would you work for free,” says another.

“Like, babe, is it his first time in a club??? Time is money and if you’re not tipping I’m moving along. They’re so dumb,” says a different person.

“Fellas, if your bank account is in the red, just stay home and watch Netflix, because the minute you walk in the club your wallet is on a time clock,” suggest another.

Houston Texans punter Johnny Townsend just dropped a PSA for anyone who uses Uber Eats: You’ve been doing it wrong. 

In a TikTok posted Sep. 14, Townsend (@johnny.townsend) breaks down the ultimate Uber Eats cheat code on how to score food for cheap. The video has already racked up over 37,000 views.

Townsend wasted no time laying out the Uber Eats cheat code in his 18-second TikTok. 

Is There a ‘Wrong’ Way to Use Uber Eats?

“I’ve been telling all my boys this since day one: Uber Eats is not a food delivery app. It’s a discount app,” he explained.

According to Townsend, the first step is checking the Offers tab in the app. That’s where the buy-one-get-one deals and surprise discounts hide. 

But the real hack comes next: Skip the delivery. By picking up the food yourself, you dodge the extra fees and service charges that usually double the price.

“Dude, I just got two subs at Firehouse for seven dollars,” he bragged. “And all I do is just open it up, click on offers, see if there’s any BOGOs nearby, and just go pick it up. It’s the way to do it.”

Is This the Correct Way to Order from Uber Eats?

Yes, it really does. If you head to the Eats section of the Uber app and click on the Offers tab, you’ll see all the deals and discounts available from restaurants in your area. From there, pick a spot, then switch your order from delivery to pickup. 

That way, you still get the deal without stacking on the delivery fees, service charges, and tips that can easily double the price of your meal. 

Viewers Love Gaming the Uber Eats App

People flooded the comments with their best Uber Eats come-ups, turning the comment section into a cheat code thread.

“Dude, I did that for a year. People don’t realize how many good deals there are,” one commenter wrote.

“Yes, bro, I’ve been doing this, and I get the Amex $10 a month with my gold card,” another shared.

“Uber has great food deals but the key is to pick it up yourself,” someone else explained. “If you [add] delivery plus tip for the driver and the extra fees you’ll get screwed. If you pick up yourself you avoid all those extra costs.”

And then came the holy grail of a discount. “A new Chinese food place opened up by me and I think they made a mistake because I went to order one night and they’re offering $15 off any orders over $15. I ordered $15 and got free food,” wrote one person.

Townsend did not immediately respond to our request for comment. We also reached out to Uber for a statement.

Max B marked his first week of freedom with a solemn visit to A$AP Yams’ final resting place in New Jersey, paying homage to the late Hip-Hop visionary on what would have been his 37th birthday.

The 47-year-old Harlem rapper, newly released after serving a 16-year sentence, stood alongside A$AP Yams’ mother, Tati Paulino and media personality Karen Civil, during the emotional graveside tribute.

The moment, captured in photos shared across social media, brought together two generations of Harlem’s Hip-Hop legacy.

The bond between Max B and Yams ran deeper than neighborhood ties. While behind bars, Max B’s influence remained alive through Yams’ persistent support.

The A$AP Mob co-founder frequently praised Max’s melodic style and coined slang, helping introduce the “wavy” sound to a new wave of artists.

“also s/o max b he would give me 100 cash and a bottle of benny to help pack up his mixtapes when i was 16″ Yams tweeted, offering a glimpse into their early connection.

Though they never reunited in person, Yams, who died in 2015 at age 26 from an accidental overdose, credited Max B as a major influence on A$AP Mob’s sound.

That impact is evident in early A$AP Rocky tracks, such as “Get High” and the 2011 mixtape, LIVE.LOVE.A$AP, where Max’s melodic delivery and slang echoed throughout.

Max B’s return to public life began on November 9 after he completed his sentence stemming from a 2009 conviction tied to a failed robbery.

Despite his long absence, his musical footprint remained intact, with artists such as French Montana, Kanye West and Drake acknowledging his stylistic influence.

The graveside appearance marks one of Max B’s first public outings since his release and served as a powerful reminder of Harlem’s interconnected Hip-Hop lineage.

Bhad Bhabie became entangled in a personal and legal mess after her music associate was arrested for allegedly assaulting her mother during a confrontation outside their Florida home.

Ricky “Loopy” Ferrell, a frequent collaborator of the rapper, was taken into custody Thursday on a misdemeanor battery charge stemming from an August altercation with Barbara Bregoli, Danielle’s mother.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office reviewed surveillance footage from the incident, which took place at a residence co-owned by Danielle and Barbara.

According to law enforcement records obtained by TMZ, Ferrell allegedly yanked Barbara’s iPhone 15 Pro from her hands and shook her multiple times as they struggled over the device.

Investigators said the video shows Ferrell letting go of Barbara before following her to her car, where she retrieved a firearm. Deputies noted Barbara never pointed the gun at Ferrell and kept her finger off the trigger.

That directly contradicts statements Ferrell reportedly gave during a sworn interview. The footage also shows Ferrell placing the phone on the trunk of Barbara’s vehicle before leaving the scene.

Initially, both parties called the police. Responding deputies at the time identified Barbara as the aggressor, and no arrests were made. But after further interviews and a detailed review of the footage, investigators reclassified Barbara as the victim and issued an arrest warrant for Ferrell.

He was arrested on Thursday and has since been released from custody, according to authorities.

Danielle, now 21, shot to viral fame in 2016 after her infamous “Cash me outside” moment on Dr. Phil. She later pivoted to a music career, becoming the youngest female rapper to have a song chart on the Billboard Hot 100.

Barbara, a Brooklyn native and two-time breast cancer survivor, also has a sizable online following.

The incident adds another chapter to the family’s often public struggles, which have played out alongside Danielle’s rise in the Hip-Hop world.

50 Cent stole the spotlight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Saturday night with a show-stopping entrance alongside Chris Eubank Jr. and his father, but the dramatic walkout wasn’t enough to change the outcome of the fight.

The Hip-Hop mogul led the Eubank duo to the ring with a booming soundtrack of “Many Men,” “Wanksta” and “I’ll Whip Ya Head Boy,” turning a typical ring walk into a full-blown performance.

50 Cent and Eubank Jr. wore fur coats while Eubank Sr. danced his way through the tunnel, drawing cheers from the 60,000-strong crowd.

The entrance delayed the start of the bout slightly, as Conor Benn had already made his way to the ring. But the wait only added to the anticipation, with the stadium erupting once Fif appeared.

Despite the theatrical buildup, the fight didn’t go Eubank Jr.’s way.

Benn knocked him down twice and walked away with a unanimous decision, flipping the script from their previous meeting in April 2025, where Eubank had secured the win.

Judges scored the rematch decisively in Benn’s favor, marking a major moment in the long-standing rivalry between the Benn and Eubank families.

The event marked another chapter in 50 Cent’s long-standing connection to the fight game.

Once a key figure in Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s inner circle and promotional team, 50 Cent has stayed active in the boxing world even after their 2012 split. His presence on Saturday proved he still knows how to command a moment.

The Eubanks have a history of high-drama entrances, and this one was no different.

Their previous clash with Benn at the same venue also featured over-the-top theatrics. But this time, the flair couldn’t match the force Benn brought to the ring.

The fight capped off a night that blended Hip-Hop energy with British boxing tradition, but the final bell belonged to Benn, who finally claimed a win for his family 35 years after his father’s rivalry with Eubank Sr. first began.

NBA YoungBoy brought his record-setting MASA Tour to a close in Seattle after selling out 45 straight venues across the country, making him the first artist from Baton Rouge to accomplish that feat.

The 25-year-old rapper wrapped up his first headlining tour in five years with a packed show at Climate Pledge Arena, cementing what industry analysts rank as one of the highest-grossing rap tours in U.S. history.

The “Make America Slime Again” tour launched September 1 in Dallas and quickly gained momentum, drawing massive crowds in every city.

The tour’s opening night made headlines when NBA YoungBoy donated $50,000 to Dallas-based nonprofits focused on anti-violence and criminal justice reform. That early gesture set the tone for a tour that would later become a benchmark moment in his career.

In October, he returned to Louisiana for the first time in seven years with a sold-out performance at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. After the show, crowds flooded the French Quarter, creating one of the tour’s most talked-about moments.

The MASA Tour’s 42-for-42 sellout streak is a rare accomplishment in today’s touring landscape, especially for an artist navigating ongoing legal issues.

The tour’s success reflects YoungBoy’s consistent output and loyal following, which he built through raw storytelling and a relentless release schedule.

Despite not touring for half a decade, YoungBoy’s draw remained strong and his ability to connect with listeners was a key factor behind the tour’s overwhelming turnout.

The Seattle finale marked the end of an 11-week run that not only broke records but also raised the bar for Louisiana artists in Hip-Hop.

Fetty Wap will walk free a few weeks sooner than expected after federal officials quietly moved up his prison release date to December 8, 2026, granting the Hip-Hop artist a holiday homecoming.

The 34-year-old rapper is currently serving time at FCI Sandstone, a low-security federal prison in Minnesota. His original release date was set for March 13, 2027, but that was first shortened in September to January 8, 2027.

Now, according to a report from Us Weekly, the Bureau of Prisons has shaved off another month, though it has not publicly explained the reason for the change.

Fetty Wap’s legal saga began in October 2021 when he and five others were arrested on federal drug trafficking charges.

Prosecutors accused the group of distributing more than 100 kilograms of deadly and addictive drugs, including heroin and fentanyl, on Long Island.

Initially released on a $500,000 bond, the rapper was taken back into custody in August 2022 after allegedly brandishing a firearm during a FaceTime call, violating the terms of his release.

He later entered a guilty plea to conspiracy charges involving cocaine distribution and was sentenced to six years in prison.

Outside the courtroom, Fetty Wap’s life has been filled with both public success and personal pain. He is the father of at least six children, including his daughter Lauren, who died at age 4 in August 2021.

Once released, Fetty Wap will be under supervised probation for a period of five years. His new release date means he’ll be home just in time for the 2026 holiday season.

NBA YoungBoy wasted no time responding to NLE Choppa‘s recent attack, dropping his own diss track “Zero IQ” that takes direct aim at the Memphis rapper’s intelligence and credibility in the Hip-Hop game.

YoungBoy’s “Zero IQ” title appears to be a direct shot at Choppa’s intellectual capacity, suggesting the Memphis rapper lacks the mental acuity to engage in this level of Hip-Hop warfare.

“My career been jumpin’ up out of the gym and I’m ridin’ ’round with a M, ho/I’ll kill your ass, I’ll flash, you ain’t gon’ play with me like them, no

I done gave my n##### bags,” NBA Youngboy raps.

The Baton Rouge native’s response comes just weeks after NLE Choppa, who now goes by NLE The Great, released his scathing “KO” track on October 30.

Choppa’s initial assault borrowed heavily from 2Pac’s legendary “Hit Em Up,” using the same Dennis Edwards sample while delivering pointed accusations about YoungBoy’s influence on young fans.

In “KO,” Choppa positioned himself as a spiritual corrective force, claiming YoungBoy “poison[s] the youth” and serves as a negative role model.

The track featured aggressive bars like “YoungBoy, what? This the big boy league/ I put one up in your gut under the Jesus piece/ Last thing that I heard was ‘Jesus, please’/ Had me looking at the devil like ‘This is your king.’”

Choppa’s motivation for the diss stemmed from what he described as a divine vision.

In a recent Rolling Stone interview, the rapper explained he was “awakened out of my sleep with a vivid dream” involving “holding a young boy’s head in my hand.”

He interpreted this as a calling from a higher power to hold YoungBoy accountable for his perceived negative influence.

Young Thug sought clarity and counsel in Manhattan, where the Atlanta rapper met with Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto following his release from custody tied to the YSL RICO case.

The Hip-Hop artist visited Rabbi Pinto’s private residence just weeks after being engulfed in drama, claiming he snitched and cooperated in the YSL saga that ended with Young Thug taking a plea deal to secure his freedom in the high-profile racketeering case.

The session focused on the rapper’s personal struggles and his hopes for a stable return to music while navigating strict probation terms.

Photos and videos of the meeting were shared on Rabbi Pinto’s official social media, showing the two in conversation. The rabbi’s post described the encounter as a moment of “guidance to the international rapper.”

Young Thug’s legal resolution included a 40-year sentence, with the first five years credited as time served, followed by 15 years of probation, with a potential 20-year sentence if his probation is violated.

The agreement also came with tight restrictions.

He is barred from entering the Atlanta metro area for the next decade, unless for court or family emergencies and must avoid any contact with co-defendants or known gang affiliates.

The plea deal also mandates community service and educational outreach on gang prevention. These terms were part of what allowed the Grammy-winning performer to avoid a much longer prison stint.

The YSL RICO case, which accused Young Thug’s YSL Records of functioning as a criminal enterprise, has seen multiple co-defendants accept plea deals, including Gunna, who was accused of ratting out his co-defendants.

Young Thug’s visit to Rabbi Pinto mirrors a similar move by Kanye West, who also sought the rabbi’s guidance during a public low point.

“I was dealing with some various issues, bipolar, also, so it would take the ideas I had and had them, take them to an extreme where I would forget about the protection of the people around me and myself,” West explained to Rabbi Pinto. “Some people aren’t that knowledgeable about what causes it and the way you act when you have the disease.”

The rabbi has become a sought-after spiritual advisor for celebrities, particularly those in the entertainment industry who are navigating personal or professional upheaval.
