“A lot of snakes in this game that would do anything for views when they are broke smh,” he wrote Tuesday.

 

“But it’s this year of the snakes. Happy Lunar Year,” he added in a follow-up tweet.

Dwight’s words came after Cam admitted on an episode of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test that it’s hard to feel like a “Superman” to his eight children after losing his NFL salary.

“Being in the NFL, everyone knows there’s a large sum of money that comes to you in a short span of time and being away from the game for three years, those checks don’t come in the same. Like I got eight kids,” said Cam. “It hurts me knowing that I can’t provide like I once did,” Newton said per PEOPLE. “It hurts thinking that I’m Superman, but in reality, I’m just a man.”

Cam Newton has yet to respond to Dwight’s diss.

Royce Reed Recently Launched A GoFundMe To Cover Expenses Tied To Her Ongoing Legal Battle With Howard

Reed’s explosive appearance on Funky Friday comes a few weeks after she launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover legal fees related to her ongoing cease-and-desist battle with Howard. The legal troubles reportedly stem from Reed’s Instagram account, created in 2024, where she has been publicly calling out the NBA champ. She launched the “I Had A Baby By Superman” page, which features a nine-part exposé accusing Howard of “deadbeat” behavior, threats, and physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. However, bills tied to the legal case are allegedly adding up, she claimed.

“The bills I’ve accumulated dealing with this man are insurmountable. That’s where my courage came from,” Royce’s GoFundMe campaign read. “That’s why I chose to speak. But also because there’s a new agreement. I am now being threatened with yet ANOTHER LAWSUIT because they want to take away my voice again and silence me.”

Wow, this is a lot to unpack. Watch the full interview above. Thoughts?
