Dwight Howard and his team are facing the heat after allegations of death threats to his ex-boyfriend have come to light. Fed up with abuse, Twitter user @MasinElije created a thread that has everyone talking.
Detailing months of an undercover relationship, Masin Elijè outed Dwight Howard’s sexual preference for trans women and feminine gay men. Social media is engulfed with shock and outrage over Dwight’s orientation. With such a stigma surrounding a refusal to conform to heteronormativity, the wave of criticism comes as no surprise. While the straights are caught up in who he likes, the real issue lies in allegations of abuse and threats to a gay man.
I was afraid to speak but today my life was threatened after I was sexually harassed, threatened and manipulated, by someone I respected, my ex boyfriend NBA player Dwight Howard, and his camp also “”catfished”” by his disrespectful ass PASTOR pic.twitter.com/n1I1fwDcUw

Love at First Sight
Masin says he met Dwight Howard on the set of Wild N Out. The exchanged glances which led to Dwight sliding into his DM’s. Not wanting to risk their conversation being leaked, Masin insisted Dwight switch to his “finsta” (fake) page. They talked for weeks on end, exchanging risqué photos, and video calling one another on Instagram. “Time went by and shit started getting serious!” Masin exclaimed.
“He was fine, 6’11”, goofy, very charming, NO WIFE, and NEVER been married so of course I was interested.”
Everything seemed to be going well and eventually they met face-to-face.
While they weren’t able to be with each other as he was on the road in-season, they called one another regularly. Dwight appealed to Masin, encouraging him to put himself at ease and cast away his doubts. For a time, things were smooth, but Masin suspected Dwight was being unfaithful. It turns out he was right. Not only was he seeing someone else, but the other woman was hosting transgender sex parties.
So this is how that damn conversation went. Typical guy, LYING. I didn’t mind cheating but you’re “allegedly” at transgender SEX PARTIES sticking your penis in everyone raw? Okay Magic Johnson 2.0 with amnesia pic.twitter.com/xbshh9obWT

Things Fall Apart
At this point, their relationship was over, especially after he threatened to “beat the sh*t” out of Masin. Following their fallout, anonymous calls began to flood his phone. Most notable was a call from Calvin who works for Dwight. During their relationship, Masin alleges that he was presented with an NDA he refused to sign. Now that things has fallen apart, Calvin was pressing Masin to sign the NDA and take the money.
Calvin works for Dwight and Calvin begun to get irate, disrespectful and homophobic as I continued to deny his “hush money” and said I wasn’t signing the NDA! He tried to insult my intelligence telling me Dwight doesn’t know me and “I never spoke to dwight” Despite me meeting him pic.twitter.com/UksdSj4np2

“So at this point, I am afraid for my life. I’m panicking. I’m having anxiety attacks and for a whole week I was bullied by Dwight’s team and Dwight Howard stood there and allowed his team to harass me.”
Many are taking Masin’s claims with a grain of salt. In 2017, he was caught in a scandal involving Atlanta rapper, Playboi Carti. Masin posted screenshots of an Instagram conversation with Carti that sparked rumors regarding his sexuality.

In a more recent Live, Ray explained the incident that led to his whole wig catching on fire: an unfortunate smoking accident. “It just, like, lit on fire when I tried to light the cigarette,” he recounted. “So I get to trying to snatch the wig off. B***h, the fire goes to my f*****g shirt, to my feet, to my legs, to my back. It’s a fire everywhere, it’s a fire in the whole room.”

Of course the internet trolled him in a disgusting display of ableism and heartlessness. Comments like “Rolling Ray should have stopped, dropped, and rolled” and “karma’s a b***h” had social media conflicted in its feelings about his accident. His sensation comes from his harsh and, often, below-the-belt reads (just last month he told Yung Miami to “dig (sic) up” her dead baby father. However, the criticism didn’t stop him from responding on Twitter.
I miss y’all 🥺! See y’all soon, if this what Karma feels like she should’ve came harder because I’m alive while others still dead. God loves me 😍! Imma bounce back

Rolling Ray might be problematic as all get-out, but we do not tolerate ableism here. We wish him well as he heals.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Are Getting Divorced, Report Says
Published

January 6, 2021
In a story published Tuesday evening, Page Six is reporting that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are getting divorced, with the two already in settlement talks. The news comes after the couple spent the holiday season separately – Kanye at his ranch outside Cody, Wyoming, Kim and the kids with her famous family in southern California.
A source close to Kardashian was quoted saying, “Kim got Kanye to go up there so they could live separate lives and quietly get things sorted out to separate and divorce. She’s done.” Kardashian, 40, and West, 43, are said to be splitting because of marital problems directly related to Kanye’s very public mental health struggles.

For several years the rapper’s various antics have caused fans to worry. After coming out as a Trump supporter, West then announced his own 2020 presidential bid under a new political party: the Birthday Party. At a campaign rally in South Carolina, he was seen rambling, debating individual audience members, and at times, crying. In various interviews, he has rambled on almost incoherently, and his tweetstorms are now infamous.
For her part, Kim has always supported her husband and has openly discussed the difficulties of their marriage. Back in June, she shared on social media, “Anyone who has [bipolar disorder] or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand… People who are unaware or far removed from this experience can be judgmental and not understand that the individual (has) to engage in the process of getting help no matter how hard family and friends try.”

It appears she has finally reached her limit in the union with the unnamed source saying, “She is serious about taking the bar exam and becoming a lawyer, she is serious about her prison reform campaign. Meanwhile Kanye is talking about running for president and saying other crazy s**t, and she’s just had enough of it.”
Separately, a source close to Kanye alleges the rapper is sick of his wife and her family, which might have some truth to it since he has tweeted some pretty nasty things about them in the past. “I been trying to get divorced since Kim met with Meek at the Warldolf [sic] for ‘prison reform,’” he said in a now-deleted July tweet. Recently, he hasn’t been featured on his wife’s Instagram and has largely remained out of the public eye.

With the news yet to be confirmed, the “divorce is imminent” reports are just rumors for now. We’ll be following the news as more information comes out.
