Rapper Snoop Dogg has called for the U.S. women's national team to be paid as much as their male counterparts following their success at the FIFA Women's World Cup.
The United States beat the Netherlands 2-0 in Sunday's final, making it back-to-back world titles and four overall in their history.
On his Instagram account (h/t Josh Thomas of Goal), Snoop Dogg compared the fortunes of the women's side to the men's, who were beaten 1-0 by Mexico in the CONCACAF Gold Cup on Sunday, and said Jill Ellis' squad deserve more compensation for their success:
"What I want to talk about is that they [USWNT] only get $90,000 per player, but the men, if they win it, they get $500,000 per player.
"The sorry ass f--king men from the US men's soccer team may never win s--t, ain't ever win s--t, can't even get out the f--king first round. Man, pay them ladies, man. Pay the girls what they're worth.
"The women should be getting $500,000 per athlete. Snoop Dogg says so. Them girls have won four World Cups and only $90,000—man please."
The subject of equal pay has been prominent for some time, and before the World Cup quarter-final with France, U.S. sportswriter Grant Wahl waded into the debate.
The topic of payment in the women's game has been discussed throughout the World Cup. FIFA President Gianni Infantino recently saidhe wants to expand the number of teams and double the prize money on offer for winning the Women's World Cup to $60 million (£49 million).
Per Rob Harris of the Associated Press, even that amount would not put the purse for the tournament close to that of the men's game for the upcoming 2022 World Cup in Qatar:
A new photo of Kodak Black behind bars has surfaced and it's drummed up the infamous clone rumors that a handful of his peers have faced.
In a side-by-side photo of a pre-jail Kodak and the latest picture, internet sleuths are pointing out the difference in his grill (it went from platinum to gold), a difference in the shape of his eyes and a noticeably fuller face. Of course, all of these things are normal changes, but this hasn't stopped the internet from sharing their theories.
"That’s not Kodak black....that’s Polaroid Brown," one fan wrote on Twitter. "Kodak Black dead n been replaced with a clone. Joining the ranks w Avril Lavigne & Guwop," another wrote.Kodak has been behind bars since he was arrested before he was set to perform at the 2019 Rolling Loud Miami festival in May. It was at that point that he was arrested on federal firearms charges. He has pleaded not guilty and will have to sit behind bars until his trial begins in August. The rapper is facing up to 10 years in prison.
