In the clip, fans spotted Timberlake in his car at a red light and insisted he rolled down his window. “You want something?” the “Cry Me a River” crooner asked them.

They claim they wanted to race, as Timberlake continued inquiring if they wanted something. Finally, before the clip ended, Timberlake is heard telling them to “get out” of there, calling them “f——- kids.”

As the clip picked up traction, people took to social media to comment on Timberlake’s behavior.

“I’m not a celebrity, & he has no obligation to do what I do,” one user wrote, “however, if I were famous, I’d always acknowledge my fans — it seems as though they were just excited to see him idk again that’s just me.”

Voicing the kids may have been “slightly annoying,” another X member shared they felt the way Timberlake behaved was “mean overall.”

“Y’all really are riding down for him omg i respect it, but I remain in the stance that it was mean & he could’ve kept that window up I fear,” they added.

Another user on X piped in with their opinion, reminding the general public celebrities would not have their platform “without fans.”

While many were critical of Timberlake’s behavior, some came to his defense, citing the kids as “provoking” him.

“I don’t think he was necessarily mean,” one of his defenders wrote, noting he seemed “irritated” after “being yelled at by a bunch of people.”

Another user applauded Timberlake’s response, calling it “appropriate.” Still, others pointed out how Timberlake was actually the one being harassed, questioning how him lashing out would be seen as mean.

Things haven’t been easy for Timberlake as of late.

In September 2024, Timberlake pleaded guilty to drunk driving in Sag Harbor, N.Y., after he was arrested in June 2024 for being under the influence. Before his run-in with the law, at the end of 2023, Timberlake took a lot of heat when Britney Spears released her memoir.

In her book, The Woman in Me, Spears claimed she had an abortion when she was with Timberlake due to him not being ready to be a father.

After this revelation, Timberlake released his album Everything I Thought It Was in March 2024. The album was considered a flop, only lasting four weeks on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Fans of the Mahomes family have watched their journey unfold, from Patrick and Brittany’s engagement to their beautiful wedding in 2022, and now to the arrival of Golden Raye.

The name Golden Raye has sparked admiration among fans, with many praising its uniqueness and beauty. Brittany explained that the name represents their daughter’s special place in their hearts, calling her “our golden girl.”

The photo of Golden Raye marks a new beginning for the Mahomes family, and fans are eager to see more sweet memories as they continue to grow. For now, Patrick and Brittany are soaking in the joy of welcoming their “golden blessing” into their, lives.

Suspicious NFL Fans Are Asking Plenty Of Questions After Cameras Caught Sketchy Pregame Moment Between Patrick Mahomes And The Ref

Regarding Patrick Mahomes and NFL referees, opposing fans will always think he has the upper hand in any game he plays.

Texans @ Chiefs – NFL Game Preview for January 18, 2025

The Chiefs are one of the least penalized teams in the NFL this season.

Many NFL fans speculated during the height of the Patriots’ dynasty that Tom Brady and his teammates received a favorable whistle from officials, and now the baton has seemingly been passed to Mahomes and the Chiefs.

Look no further than Patrick Mahomes’s conversation with a ref right before his team was to take on the Houston Texans in the Divisional round.

Fans started to wonder what was being said before the two teams took the field.

“He was telling Mahomes not to worry because they have already received the call for the league Office?” one fan said.

“Zebra telling Mahomes, “No worries, we got you!!,” another fan added.

“Don’t worry, Patrick. We’ll make sure you win the game,” another fan stated.

“Their romantic relationship,” a fourth fan said of Patrick Mahomes and the ref.

“That if anyone touches him, it’s a penalty,” a final fan commented.

Patrick Mahomes Is Trying To Accomplish History

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs resume their pursuit of a historic third straight Super Bowl victory as they are facing the Texans.

Mahomes posted his worst season statistically, and that led to the team clinching the No. 1 seed and a pivotal bye week with a 15-2 record.

Now, he hopes to get his team to the next round and then to the Super Bowl so he can make history.

Love is in the air — and on the football field.

Freshly postpartum Brittany Mahomes was spotted giving Patrick Mahomes good luck kisses shortly before kickoff at the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Houston Texans on Saturday.

Love you! Good luck. Love you!” Brittany, 29, sweetly told her star quarterback husband, also 29, with some smooches in between.

The high school sweethearts welcomed their third child — and second daughter — into their family on Jan. 12, meaning Brittany was back in action supporting her man from the sidelines just six days after giving birth.

Their new daughter, Golden Raye, is now the younger sibling of sister Sterling, 3, and brother Bronze, 2.

Golden was born during a bye week for the Chiefs, meaning Patrick could be present for her birth.

VIDEO: The Entire Internet Is Blasting Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes After Instant Replay Exposed His Embarrassing Flop vs. Texans

Football fans are teeing off on Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes for an awful flop in the third quarter of Saturday’s Divisional Round game vs. the Houston Texans.

Patrick Mahomes drew highly debatable “Roughing the Passer” penalties in the first and third quarters against Will Anderson Jr. and Henry To’oTo’o, respectively. The latter’s infraction led to Mahomes throwing a pivotal touchdown pass to Travis Kelce that helped KC extend their lead to eight.

Perhaps knowing that the refs are flag-happy today, Mahomes tried drawing another penalty by selling a soft push from To’oTo’o and Kamari Lassiter on the same drive that led to Kelce’s TD:

Needless to say, fans wasted no time teeing off on Patrick Mahomes for going great lengths to try and draw another awful flag:“revolutionizing the game by incorporating Jalen Brunson foul baiting 😎,” one fan wrote.

“Mahomes attempting to single-handedly bring the flop into the league…thanks dork,” wrote another.

“Pathetic, this what NFL has allowed to happen,” a fan said.

“That flop makes Mahomes so f*cking unlikeable…….,” one fan wrote.

“Mahomes flop should be 15 yards,” another stated.

“That flop attempt by Mahomes was absolutely shameful. But when you are spoiled rotten by the refs and the NFL, that’s what you do I guess,” quipped a fan.

“Mahomes should be penalized for that flop. This fourth quarter has been a complete farce,” one fan wrote.

Patrick Mahomes & Chiefs Definitely Benefited From Officiating Miscues Today

Aside from those two head-scratching “Roughing the Passer” calls, the NFL officials also missed an obvious illegal hip-drop tackle on Bryan Cook against Dalton Schultz in the first quarter.

No matter which side you’re on, there’s no denying the Chiefs benefited from some very porous officiating.

“Taylor Swift Steals the Show at Chiefs’ Playoff Game as Travis Kelce’s Ultimate Cheerleader! 🏈❤️”

Taylor Swift cheered on boyfriend Travis Kelce during the Kansas City Chiefs’ NFL playoff game against the Houston Texans Jan. 18.

Taylor Swift is back in her football era.

Less than 24 hours after stepping out for dinner with her family in New York City, the “Lover” singer cheered on boyfriend Travis Kelce as the Kansas City Chiefs competed against the Houston Texans for their AFC divisional playoff game at Arrowhead Stadium Jan. 18.

Wearing a black and white checked Chanel tweed coat, a black romper with a chain pearl belt and knee-high boots, Taylor was spotted arriving at the venue with her mom, Andrea Swift, who has become one of her most frequent companions at the NFL star’s games since the Grammy winner began dating him in summer 2023.

Since ending her epic Eras Tour in Vancouver Dec. 8, the Grammy winner has been staying pretty low-key. That being said, Taylor had taken to Instagram following the tour’s grand finale to commemorate the impressive 2-year run.

“It was rare,” she wrote, referencing her song “All Too Well,” in the caption of the Dec. 11 Instagram post. “I was there. I remember it.”

Something else worth remembering is the couple’s last outing when they were spotted celebrating the holiday season together in style. Indeed, the pair stepped out for date night in New York City Dec. 28 in outfits that were burnin’ red.

Travis, 35, wore red jeans with a matching denim jacket. Alongside the monochrome ensemble he wore black Timberlands, a white T-shirt and a trucker hat.

Meanwhile, the “Style” singer opted for an all-black look. Wearing a little black dress and strappy heels, she still made the whole place shimmer with the subtle bling on her Simkhai trench coat. To tie the whole look together, she sported a Stella McCartney Crystal Fringe Falabella tiny tote bag on her arm.

But don’t worry—Taylor never steps out without her red. While she opted for a subtle pop in the form of her Christian Louboutin red-bottom heels, she also sported her signature red lip and matching nails.

The outing occurred just one day after the two were spotted on a double date with the “Cruel Summer” singer’s friend and collaborator Jack Antonoff and his wife, actress Margaret Qualley.

For the outing, Taylor paired her signature red lip with a tan trench coat, bustier top, leather skirt and Dior saddle bag. Hand in hand with the singer, the NFL player wore navy trousers with a tan and navy button up shirt.

July 2023: So, Make the Friendship Bracelets

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s love story began in July 2023, when the singer’s Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.

“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. “So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”

Summer 2023: This Is Him Trying

After publicly recounting his fumble—a move Taylor would later describe as “metal as hell”—Travis decided to shoot his shot and invite the Grammy winner to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium.

“I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court,” he shared on The Pat McAfee Show. “I told her, you know, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.’ So, we’ll see what happens in the near future.”

The pair stepped out for two back-to-back dates in New York City over the last weekend of 2024, matching outfits both times.

Who’s stopping Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo? The Orlando Magic certainly were not the answer to that question, as they had no answer to the two-time NBA Most Valuable Player in Tuesday night’s NBA Cup quarterfinal round game at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.

Antetokounmpo basically got what he wanted when he wanted in the 114-109 win over the Magic, as he finished the game with 37 points on 15-for-24 shooting from the floor while also racking up seven rebounds, four blocks, two assists, and a steal in 36 minutes of action.

With yet another scintillating and efficient showing offensively, Antetokounmpo continued a hot streak to start the 2024-25 NBA regular season and moved closer to tying and breaking a record jointly held by former NBA superstar center Shaquille O’Neal and New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson.

Antetokounmpo extended his streak to 22 straight games with 20 or more points on 50% shooting, the longest streak to open a season in league history and the third-longest at any point in a season (Shaquille O’Neal and Zion Williamson, both 25 games). Antetokounmpo was 15 of 24 from the field.

Despite his prolific night on offense, Antetokounmpo did not have to do it all by himself. He got tremendous support from the likes of Damian Lillard and Bobby Portis. Lillard garnered 28 points on 8-of-15 shooting while Portis provided a big spark off the bench, as he contributed 22 points on 9-of-11 shooting along with 10 boards.

The win over the Magic allowed the Bucks to advance to the semifinal round of the 2024 NBA Cup where they will be meeting the winner of the other quarterfinal meeting between the New York Knicks and the Atlanta Hawks this Wednesday evening at Madison Square Garden.

Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers recently praised Khris Middleton for his professionalism, as the 33-year-old swingman has fully bought into his off-the-bench role.

“He’s started to get his rhythm – more importantly he’s starting to get his rhythm with that unit,” Rivers said about Middleton after their win over the Orlando Magic last Wednesday via Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

“And they’re starting to get their rhythm with him. You can see the bonuses of it. he comes in, he gets the ball multiple times now so he can get a rhythm. It’s been really good,” he added.

Since his full relegation to the second unit last week, Middleton has averaged 12.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.2 steals per contest on 57.5 percent shooting from the field.

Khris Middleton also did well in the Milwaukee Bucks’ 130-112 win over the Toronto Raptors last Friday, as he posted 13 points, three rebounds, and five assists on 4-for-6 shooting from the field and a perfect 3-for-3 from the free throw line.

Patrick Beverley Blasts “Soft A**” Brandon Jennings For Calling Jayson Tatum The ‘Softest Celtics Superstar’

Jayson Tatum has achieved numerous accolades, but an NBA Finals MVP award remains elusive in his nearly one-decade career with the Boston Celtics. While Tatum’s lack of this honor has already sparked discussions, former NBA star Brandon Jennings fueled the debate.

The former player labeled the Celtics star “soft” for not clinching the Finals MVP last season. Jennings once again criticized Tatum during a stream. He claimed that Tatum’s jersey shouldn’t be hung on the wall until he wins a Finals MVP.

Jennings’ remark quickly caught the attention of the basketball community and led to a fiery defense from Patrick Beverley on The Pat Bev Podcast. Beverley strongly disagreed with Jennings’ criticism, praising Tatum’s skill and toughness.

“Just because he’s not yelling and you can see his tattoos, don’t mean he’s soft. He’s skilled as f***. I think he’s talented as f***. He has a ton of size, he has won a championship. They might be one of the winningest organizations probably the last four years. No, I’m not rolling with that,” Beverley said.

“That’s a bad take. He doesn’t look like the normal tough guy doesn’t mean he’s not tough. He gets it done. When I guarded Brandon Jennings, I was like, ‘Yeah, soft a**,’” he added.

Jayson Tatum Fires Back At Critics After Leading Celtics To Victory

Jayson Tatum’s stellar performance led the Boston Celtics to a commanding 121-94 victory over the Orlando Magic on Friday. During the post-game press conference, Tatum was asked about the criticism he often faces, to which he gave a confident response.

“I don’t know; I guess I’m a big deal,” Tatum replied.

The star forward finished with 30 points, six rebounds, four assists, one block, and two steals in his 35 minutes of play. With his dominance, the Celtics improved to 29-12 in the season.
