While the picture might seem very odd, it's just one in a long series of unexpected link ups that N.O.R.E. has posted online. The rapper also hosts a podcast called Drink Champs, which often leads him to post pictures with celebrities and other influential figures. Whether or not that was the reason for the picture with Maguire, Tyga, and The Game is not clear.

N.O.R.E.'s Controversial Connections
N.O.R.E. is no stranger to controversy, but he's gotten himself into hot water with his own fans recently. First, he was criticized for extending a podcast invite to disgraced social media personality and former kickboxer, Andrew Tate. Following the backlash, N.O.R.E. said that the invitation was a joke. N.O.R.E. then posted a picture on his Twitter with right-wing Fox News host, Tucker Carlson. His followers weren't having it. "Weakest links. This man is a white supremacist and hear you with your big *ss fake teeth shucking and jiving in his face…for what?" one follower tweeted angrily. "Y’all stand for not a f*cking thing and it’s pathetic."
N.O.R.E. is unfazed by the negative comments, even though many have expressed anger and disappointment. The rapper continued to post on his Twitter, trolling some of the negative commenters and shrugging off the concerns they had about him hanging out with someone they perceive to be a white supremacist. "Nope lol I'm still neutral I made the war report," N.O.R.E. tweeted. What do you think of his association with far-right figures like Carlson? Let us know in the comments.
