Waffle House rapper fired after viral rap video filmed on shift

Edric Riley, known as Rockstar Riley, was fired from a Sandy Springs Waffle House after a customer-recorded rap video shot in uniform went viral; Riley says he worked there for 20 years and even eyed an official commercial, but the chain cited repeated policy violations—filming on company property for personal promotion without authorization—and warnings to delete posts wearing the uniform. He has since started a GoFundMe and says he would be open to future opportunities with Waffle House.

Athletics part ways with GM Forst, launch search for new baseball ops chief

Oakland Athletics fire general manager David Forst, ending his eight-year run as GM; the club says it’s a mutual parting of ways though reports describe a firing, and a search for a new head of baseball operations will begin. Forst had led the A’s since 2015, a tenure that saw limited postseason success despite back-to-back 97-win seasons in 2018–2019, with payroll constraints and an ongoing relocation saga—moving from Oakland toward Las Vegas and considering temporary homes in Sacramento—dominating the franchise’s recent era.

Netflix executive fired after ketamine confession at retreat sparks lawsuit

A Netflix executive, Kevin Baillie, claims he was fired after disclosing during a January 2026 “vulnerability-trust” exercise at Sendero Ranch that he had undergone medically supervised ketamine treatment for depression; Netflix says the ketamine-therapy issue factored into the termination following an internal probe into profanity and drinking. Baillie alleges denial of severance and seeks a jury trial, back pay and damages, while the suit also depicts an allegedly alcohol-fueled culture under Eyeline Studios CEO Jeff Shapiro. Netflix and Eyeline declined to comment.

Ryan Clark insists ESPN firing wasn’t tied to Schrager clash

In his Pivot podcast, Ryan Clark rejects reports that his ESPN dismissal stemmed from a late‑season clash with Peter Schrager, saying the firing was about broader issues including scheduling communication around Get Up and First Take, production decisions, and his high salary plus controversial opinions. He says he and Schrager resolved their beef, notes support from colleagues, and argues media narratives portraying him as an “angry Black man” are inaccurate. While The Athletic suggested the Schrager incident was a major factor, Clark contends it wasn’t the cause and that other explanations were at play for ESPN’s decision.
