Fresh off participating in this year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo, hip-hop artist and Olympic medalist Will Claye releases the stunning visual for his single, “Wee Hours,” out now via Red Bull Records. Written by Claye, “Wee Hours” was produced by Grammy-winning songwriter and producer DJ Khalil, best known for his work with Jay-Z, Kanye West, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and more.
The strength of “Wee Hours” lies in Claye‘s introspective and poignant lyrics, which he delivers with a West Coast-influenced flair. The cinematic music video companion echoes this, drawing inspiration from his own experiences. “I wanted to speak for people whose voices have been suppressed,” says Claye. “I want to inspire my people and show them that even through all the horrific things we have gone through as a people, we can make it through and rise above it all.”
Adorned in his Olympic medals amidst a field of sunflowers, the visual cuts back and forth between Claye and a younger version of himself. Set in the orange-hued glow of his family’s home, the video shows young Will as he goes through the motions of his day. The video soon takes a darker tone, as Will steps outside and witnesses a police officer chase a Black man onto his yard. As the officer moves to pull out his gun, the man is saved by three guardian angels driving by, as the video closes with the powerful message of “our angels are always watching over us.”
The release of “Wee Hours” follows the debut of Elevate, the documentary from Red Bull. The short film follows Claye as he trains for the Olympics and records new music, working to make his mark on the world. As his moment in the spotlight parallels a cultural boiling point surrounding racial injustice, Claye seeks to use his voice to inspire his community’s youth, serving as a positive role model for the next generation. Watch HERE.
About Will Claye
Three-time Olympic medalist Will Claye started his path as a world-class athlete. By way of track and field, he was able to move into starting his brand ELEVATE, music and philanthropy. Will’s brand grew largely at the London Games in 2012, where he earned a bronze medal in the long jump and a silver medal in the triple jump to become the first man since 1936 and the first American since 1904 to obtain medals in both events. The Phoenix, AZ native of Sierra Leone-descent solidified himself as the #3 triple jumper of all time in 2019 and at the same time released an EP, WEST SIDE STORY, and single “TMS.”
The catalyst for Will’s music career came from artist YG inviting him to the studio and the pair creating IDGAF, what is now known as a classic West Coast record. From there, Will began to create his own lane and his own sound, taking inspiration from Bob Marley, Andre 3000, Snoop Dogg, DJ Quick, Pharrell, Jay Z, Nipsey Hussle, Kendrick Lamar, and Nate Dogg. With a wide array of influences, Will has created a sound that is eclectic and diverse, based on how he is feeling and what is going on in life. He is a rare combination of talent and genuine humility, recognizing that he can use his status as an artist and professional athlete to help others.
Dean Carnazes is a marathon runner known for serious feats of endurance. He recently wrote a book, Runner’s High: A Life in Motion, about running and his experience as a marathon runner. I got the chance to speak with Dean about his marathon career and Runner’s High.
What was your favorite experience while running?
While I was running across the country—from LA to NYC—I got a call from the White House saying that Michelle Obama wanted me to stop in to say hi. Prank call was my first reaction. But it was real. I’ll never forget running down the hallway of the White House and out to the South Lawn to meet with the first lady. She welcomed me with a hug and said, “It’s such an honor to meet you.” I’m not making this up.
What is your favorite part of the marathon experience?
The pain and the struggle. You remember the joyful moments, but the tough moments leave a more indelible imprint.
Do you have a marathon that you particularly liked?
How long is the interview? (laughter) I’ve run hundreds of marathons and each is memorable in it’s own way. I once ran 50 marathons, in all 50 states, in 50 consecutive days. That experience in its totality was quite extraordinary.
Do you have a favorite place to run?
Greece. I’m 100% Greek and Greece is the birthplace of the marathon. It doesn’t get more real than that.
What athletes do you particularly admire?
The back of the packers struggling to reach the finish line before the cutoff. Sure, I admire the elite, but watching the last place finisher is more inspiring.
I’ve been in a 2-week quarantine in a hotel in Sydney in preparation for this crazy 1,000-mile run across Australia, so I’ve been watching a lot of the Tokyo Olympics. In fact, I’ve probably watched more television in the past two weeks than I’ve watched in the past two years!
Are there any Olympic athletes, in the most recent Tokyo Olympics, that you were particularly impressed by?
So many of the athletes impress me. But I think what impressed me the most this Olympics’ was Simone Biles withdrawal because of mental health concerns. She is such a dominant force but she became very human in showing her vulnerability.
How do you feel about energy drinks and other products that may change/enhance athletes’ performance?
Athletes will always seek anything that can provide an edge. So long as it is not a banned substance, I’m okay with it.
What, in your opinion, is your biggest accomplishment as a runner?
The fact that I am still just as passionate about running as I was when I first started. The stoke is still there after all these years.
What was it like to write a book about something you’re so passionate about like running?
To capture my authentic running voice, I do a lot of writing while I run (by dictating into my phone). People say I truthfully capture the essence of running in my writing, and that’s because at a time when I’m experiencing the thoughts, feelings and emotions of a runner I’m taking note. To put that passion into words makes compelling reading.
Are you happy with the way people have spoken about your book thus far?
I got an email from a gentleman this morning who said he had intended to read a couple chapters of my book last night before going to bed. Five hours later he finished the book, he told me. Then, he said, he got up. He just had to go on a run.
Yes, I’m happy with the way people have spoken about my book. That message says it all.
Andy Dick arrested after reported chair attack in Hollywood
Comedian Andy Dick has insisted he was acting in self-defense when he allegedly attacked a former lover with a metal chair. It is reported that Andy’s leg was broken in the brawl. He was released from jail on $50,000 bail.
Dick was arrested Saturday after reportedly attacking another man with a chair. Fiancee Elisa Jordana said on her YouTube Show, Kermit and Friends, “He could have killed him, I saw pictures, I saw video; it’s not good.”
A spokesperson told PageSix, “Lucas came to Andy’s apartment that day already in a bad mood. They were play fighting and razzing each other and Andy says next thing he knew, things turned serious for Lucas.”
Dick also said that he was upset that his fiancée Elisa Jordana would leak news about the attack. She also described Dick — who has had numerous run-ins with the law — as being prone to spinning out of control and getting “very aggressive” when drunk.
Princess Diana Statue Unveiling
Earlier this week, Princess Diana’s statue was unveiled on her sixtieth birth anniversary by her sons Prince William and Prince Harry. The bronze statue was commissioned by Diana’s two sons in 2017, and the bronze statue–designed by Ian Rank-Broadley–now has its’ place in the Kensington Palace’s Sunken Garden.
Together, the brothers revealed the sculpture of Princess Diana with her arms around a boy and a girl, and another child in the back. Kensington Palace said Diana had “gained confidence in her role as an ambassador for humanitarian causes,” and the statue “aims to convey her character and compassion.”
“The statue aims to reflect the warmth, elegance and energy of Diana, Princess of Wales, in addition to her work and the impact she had on so many people,” the palace said. “The figure of Diana, Princess of Wales is surrounded by three children who represent the universality and generational impact of The Princess’ work. The portrait and style of dress was based on the final period of her life as she gained confidence in her role as an ambassador for humanitarian causes and aims to convey her character and compassion.”
Britney Spears Speaks Out About Her Conservatorship
Earlier this week, The New Yorkerreported that Britney Spears allegedly called 911 to report herself a victim of conservatorship abuse, right before her court hearing on June 23.
According to the article, the call led to Spears’ team “texting one another frantically,” worried that Spears would go “rogue” in the hearing. The California county has sealed the transcript due to an ongoing investigation.
Fans and the general public have questioned whether Spears still needed a conservator, which has sparked the #FreeBritney movement, demanding Spears to regain her autonomy.

Vanessa Williams to honor Juneteenth for July 4 festivities
“It’s in celebration of the wonderful opportunity that we now have to celebrate Juneteenth. So we are reflective of the times,” the actress and singer, who was the first black woman to win the Miss America Pageant, told the Associated Press.
When Vanessa Williams hosts this year’s televised Capitol Fourth celebration, it is not only to honor the nation’s independence, but also the latest designated holiday – Juneteenth. Williams, also the first Black woman to be crowned Miss America, will join the festivities and sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” also known as the Black National Anthem.
Her performance can be streamed on PBS’ YouTube Channel here.
US Sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson suspended from Olympics
Richardson secured her spot at the Tokyo Olympics with a runaway victory in the women’s 100m at the US Olympic Track and Field trials last month. She was suspended for one month from the Olympic team after testing positive for THC, a chemical found in marijuana, the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) announced on Friday.
Richardson remained hopeful she could race in the 4×100 relay, but acknowledged she will miss the 100 meters. She emphasized she has never used performance-enhancing drugs, expressed confidence she will rebound for future Olympics and accepted fault.
If you’re on the Internet, you’ve seen someone talk about the sex-strewn, nudity heavy sauce-fest that is the new Netflix series, “Sex/Life.” The raunchy drama is inspired by BB Easton’s 2016 book 44 Chapters About 4 Men, and it follows the life of Billie Connelly (played by Sarah Shahi) as she becomes restless in her marriage and starts dreaming about her ex.
Since the release of Sex/Life at the end of June, the series has made it to the top of Netflix’s lists, and is still currently within the Top 10 in the US. Viewers have expressed their shock by the show’s use of nudity, as well as by frequent sex scenes.
The one famous scene in episode 3 at the 19:50 mark has wormed its’ way into meme town, so be sure to catch it to understand all the TikToks.
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani Tie The Knot in Oklahoma
Stefani and Shelton began dating in 2015 after meeting as coaches on NBC’s The Voice. Since getting together, the two musicians have collaborated on a few love songs, including “Nobody But You”, “Happy Anywhere”, and “You Make It Feel Like Christmas.”
The couple announced their engagement in October 2020, they have now tied the knot. On Saturday, PageSix revealed photos of what appeared to be an intimate wedding at Shelton’s Tishomingo ranch, the same place he had proposed.
American sprinter, Sha’Carri Richardson, has been suspended from the Olympics for one month.
Sha’Carri Richardson has recently been drug tested and found positive for marijuana usage. As such, she faces a one month suspension from the Olympics- threatening the sensational sprinter’s involvement in the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. Her suspension is set to begin June 28th, 2021.
The New York Timesreports that the timing of this suspension could clear Richardson in time to run in the 4×100 meter relay, which takes place later in the games. However, Richardson is set to miss the qualifying rounds for the women’s 100.
Richardson has recently reveled in victory at last month’s 100-meter race at the U.S. track and field trials in Oregon. However, while in Oregon, the Olympian was also dealing with unexpected death of her mother. Not only was this news devastating, but Richardson found out about the very personal circumstance from a reporter.
As a means of coping with the harrowing tragedy, Richardson admitted to her marijuana usage. She stated: “It sent me into a state of emotional panic…I didn’t know how to control my emotions or deal with my emotions during that time.” It should be notes that in Oregon, the use of recreational marijuana has been legalized.
Cannabis is still among the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee ruling of prohibited substances. The famed athlete apologized to her family, friends, and sponsors for her drug usage: “I greatly apologize if I let you guys down, and I did.”
As a result of Richardson’s suspension, several top runners have been bumped up in their rank positioning. Jenna Prandini is now set to be one of the three American Olympians involved in the women’s 100. Additionally, Gabby Thomas now stands as an alternative athlete for the same race.
Commenting to the Today Show on the situation, Richardson pleaded for spectators to recognize their shared humanity: “I just say, don’t judge me and I am human — I’m you, I just happen to run a little faster.”
Unilever beauty brand, Lux, has voiced its support for renowned South African Olympic gold medalist, Caster Semenya. This comes off the back of her fight against the World Athletics board to be allowed to compete in the 800m race in the upcoming 2021 Olympics. Semenya has a genetic condition known as hyperandrogenism which means she produces a higher-than-normal level of testosterone. Even though she was born this way, new legislation by World Athletics in 2018 has led to her being disallowed from defending her gold medal at this year’s Tokyo Olympic Games.
The new Lux campaign titled “Born This Way” and created by WPP’s Wunderman Thompson, is part of a broader global initiative in which the brand has pledged to inspire 50 million women by 2025 using content, partnerships and activations to help them rise above everyday sexist judgements and express their beauty and femininity unapologetically.
An emotive video by Wunderman Thompson, featuring an animated Semenya, is being widely shared on social media, with a message from Lux on how it believes no woman should be judged for how they look, ending with the words, Lux stands for Caster. Lux stands for all women.
Speaking on behalf of Lux, Severine Vauleon, Global Vice President said, “I am passionate about brands’ ability to make a positive impact in people’s lives by leveraging their scale to drive positive change in the world. Working for a beauty brand like Lux, it pains me that in this day and age, women still constantly get judged for how they look and choose to express their femininity. So I am proud to say that Lux stands with Caster. She is an example and an inspiration for women everywhere, to rise above the judgements of others and express their beauty fully and authentically. At Lux, we believe that beauty should be a source of strength rather than a source of judgement.”
On March 9, 2021, Unilever launched a new Positive Beauty vision and strategy globally which aims to champion a new era of beauty which is equitable and inclusive. This mission echoes Lux’s support for Semenya. Lux seeks to inspire women to confidently embrace their beauty and appearance as their own, as opposed to it being dependent on the opinion of others thus making their interpretation of their beauty their strength.
It was with this in mind that Lux decided to donate its brand voice through paid advertising on social channels and other media in support of Caster. Alongside that, the South African Parliament has joined the African Human Rights Commission and other institutions to help Semenya in her fight for justice and equality. The South Africa Parliament passed a Motion Without Notice, condemning the actions of World Athletics against Ms. Semenya as an “injustice and violation of human rights.” Parliament also resolved to do everything in its power to assist Ms Semenya in her fight.
“It makes me very happy to see brands like Lux who fearlessly stand on the side of what is right,” says Semenya. “My case is but one amongst many experiences that can be heard and felt by women all over the world. My team will continue to fight the good fight. Like I have always said this fight is not about me. It’s about the future. Those talented up-and-coming athletes who are going to face the same discrimination. I have to make sure that I can honestly say, I did my bit. We all need to continue doing what’s right in fighting for justice. And with the campaign my team has been working on, I am certain we will bring light to such issues beyond my case. I encourage everyone to unapologetically claim who they are and never waiver, no matter what society says. Thank you to my fellow South African’s who have stood by me through this journey. I will not cower.”

Fastest-Ever Ethiopian Woman Worknesh Degefa Confirmed in Line-up
A powerful field of elite athletes from the hotbeds of African distance running will come together for the first major international marathon of the new year when the Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon is staged on January 24.
Soloman Deksisa (2:04:40) and Seifu Tura (2:04:44) of Ethiopia lead the men’s field, while former winner Worknesh Degefa (2:17:41) and Alemu Megertu (2:21:10) – also from Ethiopia – will head up the women’s elite division when Dubai hosts many of the best marathon runners in the world for the 21st time.
With a world-class personal best of 2:04:40, 25-year-old Deksisa is the fastest athlete in the start list. Despite his relatively young age the talented Ethiopian has built up plenty of experience at the marathon distance after a brief track career.
At the age of just 20, he won the San Diego Half Marathon with a personal best of 60:12, while less than two years later he moved up to the marathon and ran an impressive debut in Rotterdam where he finished second in 2:06:22. Since then he has fully focussed on the 42.195km distance and claimed his first marathon victory in Mumbai in 2018 before winning again in Hamburg a few months later. He capped his best year so far in Amsterdam with a marathon personal best of 2:04:40 that is just one minute outside the Dubai course record set in 2019 by Getaneh Molla.
Deksisa’s compatriot Tura is another of Ethiopia’s crop of rising stars who made an impressive marathon debut with a solid second place in 2:09:26 in Seoul in 2017. Still just 22, Tura enjoyed his best day at the 2018 Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon when he took full advantage of the renowned fast course to carve a big slice off his personal best, improving by over four minutes to run 2:04:44 for seventh. The young Ethiopian has also sealed marathon wins in Milan and Shanghai, while setting a Half Marathon personal best of 59:17 in Buenos Aires in August.
In the women’s field, Worknesh Degefa – Ethiopia’s fastest female marathon runner of all time – will start as red-hot favourite thanks to an enviable record running the flat and fast streets of Dubai.
In 2017, the diminutive 29-year-old stunned an experienced field by winning in Dubai on what was her marathon debut. A year later, she broke the 2:20 mark for the first time but had to settle for fourth, while last year saw her finish second in Dubai in a remarkable time of 2:17:41. Not only did Degefa smash the Ethiopian record by 15 seconds, she also set what is now the fifth fastest time in women’s marathon history.
Held under the patronage of HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, and under the aegis of the Dubai Sports Council, the Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon will be the first major sporting event in what is a historic year for the city with some 30,000 runners expected across three races.
As well as the classic marathon distance, runners of all abilities can still register for the associated 10km Road Race and 4km Fun Run at the official website for the Middle East’s first and only IAAF Gold Label Marathon at www.dubaimarathon.org.
In addition to Standard Chartered as title sponsor, the Dubai Marathon is supported by the Dubai Sports Council, adidas, Dubai Holding, Masafi, Channel 4 Radio Network, Dubai Municipality, Dubai Police and the RTA.
