Snoop Dogg and Eminem have been beefing for years if you didn’t know. Although they both have been on the same track together, they weren’t on good terms. Their issues reignited in 2020 when Snoop Dogg claimed Eminem was not a top 10 all-time rapper among other things. Eminem retaliated by dissing him in his song, “Zeus”. After “Zeus”, in an interview, he went on to say that he was surprised at what Snoop Dogg said. He was caught “off-guard” and felt disrespected.
Thank you, Dr. Dre!
Fortunately, with the help of Dr. Dre, the two legendary artists were able to put things behind them. Unfortunately, on the other hand, it was because of Dr. Dre’s health scare that caused the two to patch things up. Last year, Dr. Dre was in the hospital with a brain aneurysm, ultimately spending weeks in the intensive care unit. Dre is pretty much responsible for both, Snoop Dogg, and Eminem’s careers as he produced both their debut albums. They both realized that their feud was “stupid” with all that was going on at the time, so they decided to talk it out.
Eminem actually admires the Long Beach legend and credits his album Doggystyle as a big influence on him. Snoop went on to The Breakfast Club to confirm that he and Eminem are family. He apologized for what he originally said as he appreciates and respects the Detroit legend. They have been since seen together on a couple of occasions. They performed at the halftime show of Super Bowl LVI with Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige. Just last month, a photo surfaced on social media of Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Snoop in the studio, which fans went crazy for. Also, they took the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards to perform their new song “From the D 2 the LBC”. We’re glad these legends put things behind them. Hip Hop doesn’t need any more beef!
Being wealthy must be a pleasant experience. The general perception in this country is that it cares primarily about making the rich richer and the poor poorer. Several high-profile celebrities who received millions of dollars in government Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans for their companies have been exempt from paying back the total amount.
Which Types Of Businesses Were Eligible For PPP Loans?
PPP loans were also provided to businesses closely associated with the Trump administration’s senior adviser Jared Kushner and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi. However, according to a Daily Mail article entitled, “It Pays to Be Rich,” these businesses were not held accountable for paying the loans back.
Due to the Covid pandemic, the $953 billion program was developed to assist needy businesses. However, according to Forbes, it soon came to light that many small businesses were having trouble acquiring loans. At the same time, dozens of billionaire-owned and private equity firms could do so.
Thus, the question arises! Does the government place a higher level of trust in the rich with their funding than in working-class citizens?
Stars Who Have Had Their Debt Forgiven
As the first publication to reveal the amount these wealthy corporations have received from the Payment Protection Program, Daily Mail has the unique opportunity to explore these figures in greater detail.
Jared Kushner, with a net worth of $800 million, is one of the celebrities who received PPP loans and were forgiven. Three PPP loans have been granted to Kushner’s family for their various businesses, allowing them to expand their operations. In total, he received $3,001,119.
Actress Reese Witherspoon, whose net worth includes $400 million and the Draper James LLC clothing company, was provided $975,472 in the first round of the PPP program to pay her payroll and rent. In addition, her loan was forgiven accordingly.

Equal Opportunity
Several wealthy individuals have worked hard to accumulate their wealth. Nevertheless, shouldn’t those who need loan forgiveness be treated the same way? As a result of low-paying and minimum-wage jobs, many college students and graduates face overwhelming amounts of student loan debt. They desperately need assistance in repaying these loans.
Tom Brady’s Loan Forgiveness And Wellness Website
Furthermore, once Tom Brady retires from football, he is expected to become the first billionaire in sports history. Aside from his salary as a professional athlete, he will also earn income from his wellness website, TB12. His site, which he co-founded with Alex Guerrero, promotes the Tom Brady diet plan.
Brady’s brand, TB12, is built around his lifestyle philosophy for those interested in a more in-depth explanation. His methods have allowed him to achieve unprecedented success at the NFL level. The Brady Method consists of several elements, including exercise, nutrition, and expensive pajamas.
Aside from that, TB12 Inc. received $960,855 to secure 80 jobs. The debt is fully forgiven upon payment of the total amount, plus interest of nearly $12,000.
Forgiveness Has Been Offered To More Celebrities
Moreover, the Daily Mail also reports that Kanye West has received a loan of $2.3 million for his company, Yeezy. However, ProPublica, a non-profit organization that has published all federal loan amounts and their statuses, indicates that Yeezy’s loan status is not publicly available.
Also, Sean Combs, aka Puff Daddy or P Diddy’s cable network, Revolt Media and TV LLC, received $1,929,252 for 134 jobs, which were canceled.

Celebrities taking PPP loans is gross & embarrassing.

Keeping a “stress journal” so that you can take all the stress inside you and place it on the paper. Of course writing in a journal is not the same as speaking to your friends about what’s going on with you. But it’s a good way to let it out, when you don’t want to talk to anyone.
As adults we tend to forget to spend some time to ourselves. Our lives no longer revolve around just us. It’s about our careers, our kids, our husbands. We don’t take time to worry about us. Dealing with stressor after stressor without a moment of peace and relaxation can drive a woman up the wall. Go for a walk once in a while, sit in the park and reflect on life. Think about what is making you so stressed and find the best way to deal with that stressor. If you need something to get your body moving, try exercising on a daily basis. Need a punching bag?

The little things also help, laugh more and worry less. Laugh as much as you can, even when you don’t feel like laughing. Share your feelings with people and learn to forgive. You won’t live a stress-free life, but you will be able to battle the stress.
