Among her celebrated works are Les Misérables, Ragtime, Fiddler on the Roof, and Spring Awakening. There are several accolades she received on the basis of her talent and devotion to her craft. Apart from the Emmy Award and Golden Globe nominations, Michelle won the People’s Choice and Teen’s Choice Awards multiple times.

Like Lea Michelle, Floyd Mayweather was also accused of being an illiterate who could not read

In Mayweather‘s case, however, it was a friendly banter with rapper 50 cent that started off the false claim. Contrary to Cent’s words, Floyd Mayweather can actually read. For a long time Mayweather and 50 cent have remained friends. There were even times when 50 Cent carried Mayweather’s belts to the ring.
