Kendrick Lamar went viral once again, but this time it wasn’t because of a surprise diss track. UFC 306 happened over the weekend in Las Vegas for “Noche UFC” at the Sphere to celebrate Mexican Independence Day, and a bunch of celebs were in attendance to catch the main event between Sean O’Malley and Merab Dvalishvili.
One of those celebrities was boxer Terence “Bud” Crawford, who was taking in the action as he was seated next to Turki Al-Alshaikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority.
However, while the producers of the telecast got Al-Alshaikh’s name correct, they confused Crawford for rapper Kendrick Lamar when the camera panned to one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world. Of course, fans took notice and posted videos of the gaffe all over social media, with one user telling UFC they will be, in fact, “going to hell.”
Both Crawford and UFC boss Dana White had a laugh about the situation. Bud felt like it was done on purpose by some young, intrepid producer who’s been tapped in with the rap battle that defined the summer.
“To be honest, I think it was intentionally done just for laughter because how can you get us mixed up?” Crawford told TMZ. “All in all, it was funny to me.”
He also told the outlet that a bunch of people hit him up referencing when Kendrick name-dropped him in his Drake diss song “Euphoria,” where the Compton rapper told his rival, “I don’t like you poppin’ s–t at Pharrell, for him, I inherit the beef/Yeah, f–k all that pushin’ P, let me see you Push-a T/ You better off spinnin’ again on him, you think about pushin’ me/ He’s Terrence Thornton, I’m Terence Crawford, yeah, I’m whoopin’ feet.”
During the post-fight press conference, White also had some fun with the mixup and said he had already spoken to the boxer about the mistake. “I was talkin’ to Terence Crawford,” he said while laughing. “I don’t wanna call him … I don’t know who the hell did that and thought it was … Yeah, that was pretty bad. He did kind of look like Kendrick Lamar, though, let’s not f—k around … So, when I said we had a flawless production tonight, I take that back.”
In other K. Dot news, he dropped an untitled track with cryptic lyrics that seemed to be aimed at Drake and the rap industry at large where he proclaims that “it’s time to watch the party die.” This new song comes just days after he announced that he would be headlining Super Bowl 59 in February.

Cardi B is sharing her home movies. After announcing that she and estranged husband Offset welcomed their third baby together on Sept. 7, Cardi pulled the curtain back on her bundle of joy in a one-minute TikTok video on Sunday (Sept. 15).
The clip from Cardi’s hospital room entitled “Babygirl” [followed by three pink flower emoji] opens with soft piano and a peek at the monitor announcing that the baby — whose name has not yet been revealed — weighed in at 5 lbs. 9 oz. We then see a nurse telling Cardi “you did so amazing, I’m so proud of you. She’s so perfect,” as the newborn cries her first cry and is placed on mama’s chest.
Offset is next, getting his chance to bond with his daughter during bare chest snuggle time before Cardi introduces the newest member the family to her two other children with ‘Set in a sweet FaceTime chat. “Look at the baby sister!” Cardi says as big sis Kulture, 6, says hi to her mom and asks if the baby is sleeping while little brother Wave, 3, hangs in the background.
“Yeah, she’s little,” Cardi responds. We then see a montage of images, including Cardi breastfeeding and having quiet time while nurses take the baby’s measurements and get her footprint for the birth certificate. Wave and Kulture show up toward the end of the clip, with Kulture doing a great job cradling her new sister in her lap while dad keeps Wave occupied.
The video ends with Cardi giving her daughter a sweet, loving kiss on the forehead and staring deeply into the newborn’s face.
Last week Cardi announced the birth of her third baby with Offset, sharing photos from the hospital and calling her “the prettiest lil thing.” Cardi announced she was pregnant with baby No. 3 in August on the same day Billboard confirmed she’d filed for divorce from the rapper for a second time. The birth makes Offset the father of six, adding to his older children from different relationships, Jordan, 14 and Kody and Kalea, both 9.
