The last dirty of the day and a lot has happened. Yeah. Yeah. The other dirty. So what's up? Okay, well, let's start off by talking about something that happened last night that we have already talked about, but it's big Michigan winning the Natty 69 to 63 over Yukon. He wasn't pretty, but they won. To the champions. Michigan for the first time in 37 years. The Wolverines win the national title. Elliott Caddow leading with 19 points and elite three from Trey McKinney kind of helped seal the deal there. Dusty May after the game. Well, if you told me we'd have shoot at this poorly, get dominated on the glass and still find a way to win. I don't know if I would have believed you, but this team's just found a way all season. That's harsh. Tell me that's you poorly. I still won the championship. What they did. I think some of that I feel like is a backhanded compliment because they really did. I think in the first half they didn't make a three pointer at all. The other team, I think made five and Michigan was still leading by three. So like it could have been a blowout. Yeah, you know, made a lot more of their shots. Yeah. Some breaking dirty for you right now. The UK government has blocked Kanye West permission to travel to the UK following some controversy over his appearance at this summer's wireless festival in London. He supposedly submitted his application to travel yesterday afternoon. It was immediately denied. And the decision to refuse permission was made on the grounds that his presence, quote unquote, would not be conducive to the public good. And this obviously has to do with his anti-Semitic racist and pro Nazi comments he's made recently. I haven't seen any sort of comment from the wireless festival yet. I don't know if any of you have. So amidst all of the, well, not all, but the many sponsors that dropped out yesterday, Pepsi, the headliner company that owns Guinness. A lot of them. Yeah, a lot of those ended up like I think it was like four or five companies dropped out yesterday. And the marketing director or the guy that's like putting it on wireless festival said he stands with Kanye. He believes in forgiveness and moving forward. So even amidst all of those, all of that money and no sponsors dropping out. He kind of said that he's still going. But um, Kanye is not the first person, I guess that has been blocked from from the UK. It says Snoop Dogg, Mike Tyson, Chris Brown, just among some of the others that have been dropped. Yeah, I think jelly. Yeah, so I don't know if if this is a situation where Kanye can appeal. I don't know if it's a situation where he will want to appeal, but you got three dates already lined up for this headline. I'm sure people have purchased tickets. Sure people have purchased flights. You already spent that money. Yeah, in anticipation. What happens to those folks? Yeah. I got some new details about offset being shot yesterday. It happened last night in the Valley area of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida, same hotel where Anna Nicole died. If you remember that from way back in the day. Please say offset suffered non-life threatening injuries. He was taken to nearby hospital. He's in stable condition. He's going to be totally fine. So now there is footage going around that shows the moment. Is it little TJ attacked? And shot offset in the butt. So I'm like literally getting details as I'm talking about this. Supposedly offset owed him 10 grand, refused to pay it. They started fighting and a gun was brought out and offset got shot in the booty. Reports also say offset now owes up to $900,000 from money borrowed for gambling. Wow. This is not the first time that I've heard that he's owed people money from gambling. Yeah. Man, if you remember a tragic story, so obviously if you don't know offset is or was a member of a group, the Migos would take off in Quavo. And reportedly that's why take off was murdered because they were gambling. Oh, okay. The offset wasn't there, but whoever was there with Quavo and him, they were gambling. And there was a whole thing and that kind of triggered it. And lastly, I am so excited for the devil wears Prada 2. And last night we got a preview of some new music. Lady Gaga, Dochi teaming up for a new song tied to the upcoming sequel. That's all we got from what the devil wears Prada 2 is out in theaters on May 1st. So we just have to wait a few more weeks.
