Comedian TK Kirkland has no apologies when it comes to speaking his mind, and even in this interview with DJ Vlad, he discusses his respect for Kim Kardashian's hoeness, reveals Chris Brown's alleged drug abuse, and even talks about his late brother's homosexuality being a choice versus being born gay.
Before her marriage to Kanye West, the Keeping up with the Kardashians star was involved in some high-profile relationships and was already annulling her second marriage with Kris Humphries. Despite the reality star moving on from her scandalous past, comics won't let that part of her life go. "In a way, you got to respect Kim Kardashian for her hoeness. What women have a tendency of not doing is how to hoe properly." TK told DJ Vlad. "See, if you go around here and f*** anybody, you end up losing."
In addition to the comedian's tips for women, he expressed his concerns for singer Chris Brown and his alleged drug abuse. The funnyman says that he only wishes the best for the crooner and doesn't want to see his downfall like so many other talented artists before him. "The inside scoop says the motherf***** is on drugs real bad, he fired his manager, and they're trying to claim that he stole some money from him." Aware that his comments could receive significant backlash from Brown, he made sure to provide his IG name so they could talk about it in hopes to help him.
Check out the full interview to see why he wants homosexuality to go back in the closet and why he believes his brother became gay.

The veteran Atlanta rapper has had the streets’ attention for a while now. An unapologetic product of Atlanta’s criminal underbelly, Trouble has risen above his circumstances while keeping both feet planted firmly in position as a representative of his environment. Never one to sugarcoat life’s harsh realities, Trouble uses this video to show what many do for survival or in the name of flossing.
This visual, shot by Keemotion and The Picture Man captures a robbery in progress as Trouble enlists fellow Atlantan & street poet Spodee for backup literally & lyrically. Spodee has been building up his own momentum with his Trench Music series after a not so amicable split with Grand Hustle last year. In true fighting spirit, Spodee hasn’t looked back to wonder what might have been, instead rushing forward towards his future the same way they rush towards the money in this robbery/video.
Showcasing a classic back & forth flow, the pace of the music is in perfect stride with the video as we move through the Atlanta streets with Trouble & Spodee to hit this lick. The high energy and fast paced song is from this May’s ‘Skoobzilla’ project . “Traffic“ will definitely appeal to those who are fans of gritty street tales, a topic that both Trouble & Spodee know all too well.
Since July 2015, when Hot 97 radio host Funkmaster Flex played reference tracks of Drake songs recorded by Quentin Miller, the DJ and rapper have no seen eye-to-eye.
During Drizzy's show at Madison Square Garden on Thursday, August 4, he took shots at Hot 97 and Flex
“They tellin’ lies on Hot 97, that’s how it goes / I told ’em fire Funk Flex, then I’ll come and do your show / Plus, me and Kanye, we just left out the studio / My first night in the Garden, I’m feeling like D. Rose," the OVO Sound boss rapped to the crowd.
On Saturday, August 6, Flex responded via a lengthy on air rant. Listen to it up top and read highlights from it courtesy of Billboard below.
"I got a few stories to tell tonight. I don't know which one I'm gonna tell first," Funkmaster Flex started.
"First of all, Drake, I'm not really worried about you making me lose my job,” Flex said. “70% of your fans wear high heels. The other 30% are guys who wear sandals. I'm not concerned about you."
“I don't know if you noticed, but everything is built on top 5,” he said.
The DJ actually went on to compliment Drake’s talent as an entertainer, saying he makes “great music” and has “great shows” – but alleged that the rapper is not worthy of being in that “top 5" in hip-hop.
"If you have help on your music and on your bars to compete for that top 5 movement, that is an issue to me,” Flex said before launching into several supposed stories about Drake, some highlighted below.
On Drake’s Hot 97 freestyle:
"I’ve never commented on that freestyle, never talked about it,” Flex began of afreestyle Drake did in 2009 while looking at a BlackBerry.
"That freestyle, we rehearsed it first in this room. He had the BlackBerry out ... I had no idea he was gonna leave the Blackberry out," he said.
The DJ alleged that Drake and his team asked Hot 97 to put a video of the freestyle out, despite the fact that he was reading off of a BlackBerry, because they wanted to use its release as proof that he writes his own raps.
“They help circulate the video. I'm wondering, why would they put that out? You told Zane Lowe you didn't know the video was coming out. You calling a lot of people liars. Okay. Video comes out, everybody jokes on him on it, but everyone says, 'Yo, but he got bars.' ... You wanted people to think that you write your bars. You wanted people to think on that BlackBerry, those were yours, that you wrote that. You wanted to solidify that because you knew this day would come when people might see or question your pen."
On Meek Mill’s accusation that Drake uses ghostwriters:
“When those reference tracks came out ... you had Quentin Miller put out a press release,” Funkmaster Flex said, referring to alleged reference tracks by Miller that he played on-air at Hot 97, as well as a Tumblr post Miller had posted at the time, in which he denied being a ghostwriter for Drake. (“I watched this man piece together words in front of me… I watched him write/ replace bars 2- 3 at a time on 6pm in NY.. I witnessed him light up, go in and freestyle madonna,” Miller wrote of his time in the studio with Drake.)
To that, Flex said, “Let me tell you something for people who don’t understand the studio, 'cause I do. No rapper has a guy that could be or people thinkin' is writing for him in the studio directing you or standing next to you while you're in the booth unless he's writing the lyrics ... making sure the delivery's right.”
The DJ suggested that Drake should have admitted he had “a couple people who helped me with a couple things” rather than try to “hide it.”
“Yes, he writes, but there's a couple key things he didn't, and that's just the way it is,” he clarified, just before wishing Drake well at his Saturday night concert.
“My boss can't tell me to play your records. I play them because the people enjoy them, and I enjoy them as well,” he said.

The accident happened at the Camden, New Jersey stop of the rapper's "The High Road Tour" at BB&T Pavilion.

CHICAGO (AP) — Video released Friday shows Chicago police firing repeatedly at a stolen car as it careens down the street away from them, then handcuffing the mortally wounded black teenager who was at the wheel after a chaotic foot chase through a residential neighborhood.
None of the footage from last month shows the suspected car thief getting shot in the back. Moments after the shots are fired, Paul O'Neal can be seen lying face-down on the ground, blood soaking through his T-shirt in a backyard.
An officer is heard angrily accusing the 18-year-old of firing at police. Another officer asks, "They shot at us too, right?" suggesting police believed they had been fired upon and that they did not know how many suspects were present.
Paul O'Neal
No gun was recovered from the scene.
Attorney Michael Oppenheimer, who represents O'Neal's family, said the video showed officers taking "street justice into their own hands."
In all, nine videos were released from both body cameras and at least one dashboard camera. It was the city's first release of video of a fatal police shooting under a new policy that calls for such material to be made public within 60 days. That and other policy changes represent an effort to restore public confidence in the department after video released last year showed a black teenager named Laquan McDonald getting shot 16 times by a white officer.
The McDonald video sparked protests and led to the ouster of the former police superintendent. The officer who shot him is now awaiting trial on murder charges.
The latest recording catches the stolen car being pursued by officers as it blows through a stop sign. Before gunfire breaks out, the suspect sideswipes one squad car and then smashes into another as officers open fire.
An officer can be heard explaining that the suspect "almost hit my partner. I (expletive) shot at him." Another officer who apparently fired his weapon laments that he was going to be on "desk duty for 30 (expletive) days now."
Soon after the July 28 shooting, Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson stripped three of the officers of their police powers after a preliminary investigation concluded they had violated department policy. On Friday, he promised that if the officers acted improperly, they would "be held accountable for their actions."

Authorities have not said specifically what policy the officers broke.
In February 2015, former Superintendent Garry McCarthy revised the department's policy on the use of deadly force to prohibit officers from "firing at or into a moving vehicle when the vehicle is the only force used against the sworn member or another person."
But the policy also says that officers "will not unreasonably endanger themselves or another person to conform to the restrictions of this directive," meaning they have the right to defend themselves if they or someone else are in imminent danger of being struck.
The head of the Independent Police Review Authority, the agency that investigates Chicago police misconduct, called the footage "shocking and disturbing." She did not elaborate.
The officer who killed O'Neal said that he believed O'Neal had fired at him and he returned fire with three to five rounds.
The moment of the shooting was not recorded because the officer's body camera was not operating at the time, police said.
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the officer's body camera could have been deactivated when the stolen Jaguar slammed into his squad car and set off the air bags. He also pointed out that the body camera suddenly starts working after the shooting — an indication that the officer, believing the incident was over, thought he was turning the camera off when he was actually turning it on.
"We don't believe there was any intentional misconduct with body cameras," he said.
Oppenheimer alleged that the non-operating body camera was part of a police effort to cover-up what he called a "cold-blooded murder."
Officers seemed keenly aware that they were wearing body cameras and that those cameras were recording all of their comments. At one point, an officer can be seen telling others that he did not know who was firing. Then another officer came up and said, 'Hey,' perhaps a quiet reminder about the cameras. Whatever the intent, the officers immediately stopped talking.
Oppenheimer said O'Neal's family viewed the video Friday, and relatives were so distraught that they left without speaking to the media.
Ja'Mal Green, an activist who identified himself as a family spokesman, repeatedly said there was no explanation other than murder to describe the shooting.
During the pursuit, more than a half-dozen officers race between houses into backyards in a desperate search for the person who fled from the car. One officer needs help scaling a wooden gate. Another is unable to climb over and walks around to the rear of another home where the suspect is on the ground.
The president of the Chicago police union complained about the release of the videos, saying it was unfair to the officers, could turn public opinion against them and even jeopardize their own safety.
"These guys live in the neighborhoods. Their kids go to school, and their photos will be all over the internet," Dean Angelo said Thursday. "It doesn't mean they did anything wrong, but someone may see it and perceive the officers should not have taken the actions they did."
After recently releasing his "LeBron Waka James 4" mixtape, Waka Flocka Flame is right back with a new banger titled "Get Busy." The track was produced by "Pretty Lights."
Nick Cannon stopped by The Breakfast Club to chop it up about his divorce from Mariah Carey, the success of "Wild N' Out," friendship with Chili, starring in the "King of the Dancehall" movie, wanting to battle Eminem for charity, the song "Divorce Papers," not wanting to get into another long term relationship, working with Amber Rose and more.
