“Million Dollaz Worth of Game” podcast co-host Wallo267 recently convinced a man NOT to leap to his death from a bridge … a wild moment that also aligns with his motivational nature.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Wallo in Beverly Hills this week and he addressed the incident for the first time publicly!!!

Wallo tells us he had just landed home in Philly, and as he was driving home from the airport he spotted a huge police presence on a bridge.

Most people would have just whipped out their phones or let the police handle it, but Wallo tells us “he had the complexion for the connection” … meaning he felt his presence as a Black man would help turn the tide.

Wallo was right … the man’s family eventually arrived on the scene and secured his safety.

Wallo was in communication with the family afterwards, and it sounds like the road to healing has begun!!!

Everything Wallo and his cousin/’MDWOG’ co-host Gillie Da Kid put their energy into these days goes into uplifting the community … if you remember, BigXthaPlug told us he only reserved space for Wallo on his now-platinum album “Take Care.”

Thankfully, this had a happy ending … add this as the latest chapter in Wallo’s philanthropy.

Former MLS star Aaron Boupendza — who helped FC Cincinnati win the Supporters’ Shield in 2023 — has tragically passed away after falling from a balcony. He was just 28 years old.

The pro footballer, who was playing for Zhejiang FC, died on Wednesday at his apartment building in China.

Local police have launched an investigation into Boupendza’s death, reportedly treating it as “suspicious.”

“We are saddened to hear of the tragic passing of former FC Cincinnati forward Aaron Boupendza earlier today at his home in China,” the team said.

“Our hearts go out to his family, friends, and teammates. He was a loved member of the FC Cincinnati family, and we offer our condolences to all who knew him. Rest in Peace, Aaron.”

Boupendza secured 96 goals in 218 appearances … and became the leading scorer in 2020 when he played with Hatayspor in the Turkish Super League.

Serena Williams says her now-famous Super Bowl dance was “absolutely not” shade aimed at her ex, Drake.

The tennis legend was adamant during a recent interview with Time that her brief appearance at Kendrick Lamar‘s halftime show during the Eagles vs. Chiefs championship tilt was merely meant to be a shoutout to her hometown — and nothing more.

The Compton native insisted she “would never” take a shot at Drake like that … calling those who thought it was a diss “sad.”

Williams came out of a tunnel at the Superdome in New Orleans on Feb. 9 as Lamar was performing his Drake diss track, “Not Like Us.” She eventually took a spot on a podium near the rapper, and crip walked for several seconds as Lamar crooned about his nemesis.

Williams is now the second member of her household who’s denying that her appearance was about Drake — her husband, Alexis Ohanian, previously called the matter “bigger than the music.”

“Some of y’all have no idea how criticized Serena was for this same dance at Wimbledon 13 years ago and it shows,” he wrote on X in the days after the show.

Serena also took aim at critics — including Stephen A. Smith — who stated Ohanian should have been upset with her for her role in the Big Game’s halftime party.

“We’re investing in women and in sports,” she said of her and her hubby. “This is literally the last thing on our minds. Come on.”
