Conor McGregor sent the Miami Heat mascot to the hospital in a bizarre promotional shoot gone wrong. The former UFC champion made an appearance at the NBA Finals in Miami where the Heat took on the Denver Nuggets. During the third-quarter stoppage, McGregor went head-to-head with the Heat mascot to promote his new product, a pain relief spray. The footage saw the fighter punch the mascot, before hitting him again.

"I don't see the humor in this at all," one Twitter user wrote. "Looked like assault to me." Another added: "I really hope that the performer is okay, there’s no real way to brace your neck in costumes like that. Wouldn’t be shocked if they had a concussion." Meanwhile, one sports fan wrote: "Adding insult to injury, this is more entertaining than the actual NBA finals." Dana White has since responded to the incident, saying: "What’s up with mascots wanting to get punched in the face by professional fighters? What do you expect? "What are those mascot things made out of? Unless you’re like the Golden Knights mascot... I’m assuming it’s a metal helmet... I wouldn’t have professional fighters punch me in the face if I was a mascot." He added: "It doesn’t seem like the brightest thing in the world." McGregor hasn't fought professionally since July 2021, after suffering a leg injury to Dustin Poirier. His last fighting victory came in January 2020. Have your say in our news democracy.

Cardi B has showcased a new hairstyle, and some have accused the singer of ‘blasphemy’. The Grammy-winner unveiled a new look showing colourful crosses on her long blonde hair, with the caption “LET ME POP IT OFF !” and fans loved it, with the post racking up over 4 million likes. One fan commented: “Love this look”. “You look gorgeous,” wrote another. However, some were less than impressed with the rapper’s new style, with one Christian accusing the singer of ‘blasphemy’. “Stop blaspheming God and Jesus Christ,” they wrote. Another said, “y’all worship the devil” “Disrespecting the cross will not save your soul. Get right with Jesus now whilst he can still be found. Time is running out,” said another user.

Another wrote: “Beware of illuminati”. This isn’t the first time Cardi B has upset conservatives. The release of her song 'WAP' with Megan Thee Stallion in 2020, upset many for its explicit lyrics. At the time, Republican congressional candidate James P. Bradley wrote: “Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion are what happens when children are raised without God and without a strong father figure.” Ben Shapiro, a conservative political commentator also expressed disgust at the chart-topping song. “This is what the feminist movement was all about. It’s not really about women being treated as independent, full-rounded human beings.” He added, “And if you say anything different you’re a misogynist.” However, the star seemed unbothered but conservative’s reactions, tweeting: “I can’t believe conservatives soo mad about WAP.” And she’s probably thinking the same now.
