Hollywood has been gripped by a horrible writers’ strike that has stopped many productions from getting made. Even 50 Cent has been impacted.
The Queens hustler had an interview with Vulture and spoke about what he and his company has had to do to deal with the strike.
“I hope it doesn’t last,” 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, said. “What it did to me immediately was it made me focus on the non-scripted side of production.”
He even started to pitch reality shows.
“I sold three unscripted projects as soon as people started hearing about the possibility of a strike,” he continued to say.
Adding, “The last time, it lasted for about a hundred days, a little over three months. If it extends to that point now, I don’t know. I don’t see it as a positive thing for the writers that I know that have established overall deals.”
He also stated that studios and production companies have had to change or face getting shut down.
“You see so many people reducing staff and expenses that it would be an opportunity to pull out of those deals. Courtney’s in that position. I believe those projects will get dropped,” he said.
The double murder trial of YNW Melly is currently underway in Florida. If convicted, the rapper faces the death penalty. But according to YNW Melly’s defense lawyer, there are several holes in the prosecution’s case. During opening statements, attorney David Howard berated the prosecutors for the allegedly weak case.
“Prosecutors are given great power, endless resources to perform their mission of pursuing justice, but that’s not what occurred here,” Howard said. “What they will bring you is a case that is riddled with reasonable doubt, that is founded on an incompetent and incomplete investigation and exercised poor judgement at every turn. The state cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt the allegations they have made, and there’s a reason for that.”

As for the prosecution, they are still convinced YNW Melly is responsible for the 2018 murders of YNW Juvy and YNW Sakchaser as are the victims’ family members. One could be heard whispering, “He did it. He killed my baby.”
Attorney Bradford Cohen, who was previously on the case, appears to side with the defense. As he wrote on Instagram, “I feel like this case is going to go very poorly for the prosecution. This is so far from a slam dunk case. Very difficult issues to prove here. They still need to prove that he pulled the trigger, that he was the killer. The faulty investigation, motive, no DNA, no GSR [gunshot residue], no murder weapon, no evidence that he pulled the trigger. Very tough case for prosecutor. Defense is doing a very good job at pointing out those large holes I spoke about and the rush to judgement.”
YNW Melly was arrested alongside YNW Bortlen in February 2019. Evidence suggested Melly concocted an elaborate plan to make it look like his two friends were killed in a drive-by shooting. YNW Bortlen then reportedly drove the two deceased victims to the emergency room in the early morning hours of October 26, 2018.

When Bortlen arrived, he asked the medical staff to help his two friends who were just shot in a drive-by. Police said both victims—real names Anthony Williams and Christopher Thomas Jr.—were pronounced dead at the hospital after suffering multiple gunshot wounds.
Bortlen told police he and his two friends had just finished a late night studio session and as he was getting off the freeway, a vehicle pulled up to his driver’s side and opened fire. Police confirmed there were eight bullet holes on the right side of the car where Williams and Thomas were sitting. Nobody else was hit. The more police investigated Bortlen’s story, the more forensic evidence they found suggesting his account was fabricated. Cops said they discovered a shell casing inside his vehicle and eight more at another location where police think YNW Melly and YNW Bortlen shot up the car to stage a drive-by.
Headlines are calling it a real-life miracle. According to the Washington Post, four children, who survived a plane crash in Columbia’s Amazon jungle, have been found.
The youth used skills they learned in the Huitoto Indigenous group to find food and take care of themselves after the accident.
On Saturday (June 10), Colombian Defense Minister Iván Velásquez Gómez said the siblings—aged 13, 9, 4, and 1—were rescued and taken to the Central Military Hospital of Bogotá, after spending 40 days alone in the wild.
The crash is believed to have happened sometime around May 1 when the craft went missing on the flight tracking system. Their mother, the pilot and two other adults were killed.
Reuters reports the father of two of the children disputes what the Post reported, saying the children’s mother had survived for four days after the crash. Authorities suggest the children’s lives were spared because they were seated in the back of the plane when the small craft took a nosedive into the jungle floor. One of the children’s uncles, Fidencio Valencia, told reporters the children ate cassava flour known as farina from the plane as a primary source of nourishment.
“When the plane crashed, they took out a fariña, and with that, they survived. After the fariña ran out, they began to eat seeds,” Valencia said.
They were rescued by a team set up by the government weeks ago. The search for the young people, according to The Associated Press, was assisted by dogs that through finding clues like a baby bottle, fruit with human teeth in them, and footprints, they were able to find the four.
But that’s not all that saved them.
The Organization of the Indigenous Peoples of the Colombian Amazon took to social media, stating the kids being able to sustain themselves was “a sign of the knowledge and relationship with the natural environment of life, which is taught and learned from the mother’s womb and is practiced from a very early age.”
Carlos Peres, a professor of tropical forest ecology at the University of East Anglia in England, echoed those kids had an advantage because they were raised by their traditional ways.
“Four Western kids of the same age would have died there,” Peres said.
President Gustavo Petro said this ordeal is an “example of survival” that “will remain in history.”
“The jungle saved them” Petro continued. “They are children of the jungle, and now they are also children of Colombia.”
While the president is calling them heroes, the father of two of the youngest said his children will tell their own stories.
“They will tell their stories and you will hear them,” Manuel Ranoque, the father of the 1-year-old and 5-year-old, said, adding, “It’s not easy to ask them because the children went 40 days without eating well, so I have not been able to get information from the oldest child.”
“Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” is a much anticipated return to form for the Transformers franchise, five years after 2018’s “Bumblebee.” Director Stephen Caple, Jr. (“Creed 2”) does an excellent job helming this entry, clearly showcasing his passion for the source material. Anthony Ramos shines as “Noah Diaz,” an ex-military electronics expert, while Dominique Fishback captivates as “Elena,” a museum intern. Both actors play integral roles in the plot and bring likable characters to the forefront, adding an engaging human element to the film.
Although the story’s premise may feel familiar and includes some formulaic tropes, the film’s pacing keeps things moving swiftly. It offers a solid blend of humor, thrills and spectacle throughout. The film revolves around the “Transwarp Key,” a piece of technology that becomes the ultimate cause of warfare. The protagonists and antagonists clash in an effort to either obtain or protect this key from falling into the hands of “Unicron,” an extradimensional planet destroyer. Led by “Optimus Prime” and “Optimus Primal,” the Autobots and Maximals join forces to face off against the Terrorcons, led by “Scourge.” While the film includes captivating action sequences, it all leads up to an epic showdown between the two sides in the final act.
“Transformers: Rise of The Beasts” boasts solid performances, a nostalgic ’90s Hip-Hop soundtrack, exceptional voice work from notable actors such as Peter Cullen, Peter Dinklage, Pete Davidson, Ron Pearlman and Michelle Yeoh as well as stunningly rendered Transformers action with impressive visual effects. Although the Maximals (Beasts) aren’t as prominently featured as the title might suggest, their arrival still brings a welcomed freshness to the franchise.
Lastly, it’s worth noting the film includes an intriguing mid-credits scene, which sets up a potentially exciting premise for future installments. Make sure to stick around and catch it.
When comparing “Transformers: Rise of The Beasts” to other live-action films in the Transformers franchise, I would currently rank it third, following Travis Knight’s “Bumblebee” and Michael Bay’s “Transformers” (2007). However, I found this entry to be thoroughly entertaining and believe fans of the franchise will have an enjoyable time watching it. “Transformers: Rise of The Beasts” is now playing in theaters everywhere. Enjoy the show and enjoy Nas and Biggie while you’re at it.
YNW Melly’s double murder trial got underway in Florida on Monday (June 12), more than four years after the rapper’s arrest. Attorney Bradford Cohen—who was previously on the case—says prosecution has an uphill battle ahead of them. Melly was arrested in February 2019 for the murders of YNW Juvy and YNW Sakchaser but according to Cohen, the lack of evidence is overwhelming.
As Cohen noted in an Instagram post, “I feel like this case is going to go very poorly for the prosecution. This is so far from a slam dunk case. Very difficult issues to prove here. They still need to prove that he pulled the trigger, that he was the killer. The faulty investigation, motive, no DNA, no GSR [gunshot residue], no murder weapon, no evidence that he pulled the trigger. Very tough case for prosecutor.”
He added, “Defense is doing a very good job at pointing out those large holes I spoke about and the rush to judgement.”
Law & Crime, meanwhile, is providing a play-by-play of court proceedings on Twitter. The outlet says YNW Melly initially wouldn’t look at the victims’ hospital footage from the night of the fatal shootings. But, moments later, Melly appeared to shed a tear as the video continued.
“As video footage shows @YNWMelly deceased friends put on stretchers at the hospital, all but one of the women (4) in victims’ families exit the courtroom in tears,” the tweet reads. “Melly even appears to wipe his eye lids.”
— Law&Crime Network (@LawCrimeNetwork) June 12, 2023
While the defense is working hard to prove YNW Melly’s innocence, family members of the victims are convinced they have the right suspect in custody. An unidentified woman, assumed to be one of the victims’ mothers, could be heard saying, “He did it. He killed my baby.”
Judge John Murphy lll sided with the state’s motion to use the new 8-to-4 jurors vote seeking the death penalty. Passed by Governor Ron DeSantis in April, the law means the jurors don’t have to vote unanimously to enact the death penalty. The YNW Melly trial is the first to be determined under the new law. The trial is expected to last several weeks. Watch a clip below.
London-born rappers Dave and Central Cee currently have the most popular song in their home country of the United Kingdom.
“Sprinter” arrived on June 1. The collaboration debuted at No. 1 on the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart Top 100 based on sales of downloads, CDs and vinyl as well as audio streams and video streams.
According to Billboard, Dave and Central Cee’s “Sprinter” amassed the biggest streaming week ever for a rap song in the U.K. The track’s 13.4 million streams surpassed the previous record held by Stormzy’s “Vossi Bop” (12.7 million streams) set in 2019.
In addition to coming together for the “Sprinter” single, Dave and Central Cee also dropped the four-track Split Decision EP on June 5. Dave turned 25 years old on the date, while Central Cee celebrated his 25th birthday the day before.
Dave also reached the No. 1 spot on the U.K. Singles Chart Top 100 with 2018’s “Funky Friday” featuring Fredo and 2022’s “Starlight.” Plus, the Top Boy actor’s catalog includes two No. 1 projects on the U.K. Albums Chart.
“Sprinter” is Central Cee’s first United Kingdom chart-topper. He now has six Top 10 entries. The Live Yours recording artist did earn a No. 1 on the U.K. album chart in 2022 with the 23 mixtape. 2021’s Wild West peaked at No. 2.
In addition, Dave and Central Cee’s “Sprinter” became the first rap single from the U.K. to debut at No. 1 on Australia’s ARIA Chart. Dave previously made it to No. 8 in that country with 2022’s “Starlight.” Central Cee’s “Doja” reached No. 3 in 2022.
While the Denver Nuggets and the Miami Heat compete for the 2023 NBA Championship, Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant is still the most-talked-about player in the league. Even Hip Hop artist Cam’ron took time to mention Morant over the weekend.
On Sunday, Cam’ron uploaded some old photos from his days playing basketball for Navarro College in Texas. The caption for the Harlem, New York native’s post included a warning to the currently suspended Ja Morant.
“I was on [b#######] in college. I got kicked out for pistol-whipping a n#### (which I don’t condone). [Luckily,] I had a plan B and C. Ja don’t be me, you can’t rap!!! Lol as you can see it’s a lil blurry but it was still the set 🦅,” wrote Cam on Instagram.
Cam’ron Said He Tore His Hamstring During His First Year Of College
Previously, Cam’ron spoke about his amateur basketball career during a 2009 interview with ESPN. The Come Home with Me album creator explained why he abandoned his hoop dreams for a chance to make it in the music industry.
“I ended up going to a junior college called Navarro Junior College in Texas, which is in between Dallas and Waco,” said Cam fourteen years ago. “I tore my hamstring when I was there, and I redshirted my first year.”
The eventual Dipset leader continued, “And when I came back home, I ended up getting back into the music business. I didn’t get a chance to get back into sports because music started taking off for me. That’s kinda how my basketball career went.”
Cam’ron Hosts His Own Digital Sports Talk Show
In addition to being a Platinum-selling rap star, Cam’ron also hosts It Is What It Is. Fellow Harlem-raised rapper Ma$e serves as a co-host on the sports talk show. It Is What It Is has run twenty-one episodes on YouTube so far.
“I’m like, ‘I love sports and I need to be on television.’ People always offer me things to do on television. So I’m like, ‘Let me create my own show, not somebody giving me a show, and see how it goes,’” stated Cam’ron about launching his podcast.
On including his former rival on It is What It Is, Cam said, “I may not have been where I’m at if [Ma$e] didn’t take me to Biggie Smalls [The Notorious B.I.G.] and get me my first record deal… I wanted to pay him back, and hopefully, this show will do that.”
Kanye West is art. For years, he continues to relentlessly pour himself into Hip-Hop. So, is a circulating photo evidence he’s prepping a collaborative effort with Freddie Gibbs?
On June 8, Mr. Gemini was gifted with another year. Of course, this is as good a reason as any to celebrate life. Accordingly, on Saturday (June 10), his 46th birthday extravaganza took place.
Amid a pristine Los Angeles backdrop, the epic shindig unfolded. It was like a movie. Friends and family alike attended the memorable endeavor. Be that as it may, it appears as though everything from work to pleasure was present. This is to be expected of the jeen-yuhs rapper.
As a matter-of-fact, North West, the eldest daughter of Ye and Kim Kardashian, was also in attendance. It looks as if she made her directorial debut. That’s right—the emerging talent shot the visuals for DONDA’S “Off The Grid.” For dad, that’s definitely a one-of-a-kind birthday gift.
Additionally, the acclaimed artist may again be giving back to Hip-Hop. Thus far, in countless ways, his creative canon is enriching culture. Let us not forget, Yeezy dropped The Life of Pablo in 2016.
On the track, “No More Parties in L.A.,” Kendrick Lamar, Freddie Gibbs and Kanye West appear. This wouldn’t be the first time these two traded bars. Their lyrical acumen is profound.
Miami-bred rapper Richard “Gunplay” Morales has been in the headlines in recent weeks for a family medical emergency and for being inserted into the beef between Rick Ross and DJ Envy.
The feud began as what appeared to be friendly, competitive jabs. Both Rick Ross and DJ Envy had car shows planned. The radio personality and the Hip Hop artist promoted their respective events by taking shots at each other.
However, the back-and-forth between DJ Envy and Rick Ross eventually got personal. Envy decided to mention Gunplay and his partner, Vonshae Taylor-Morales, setting up a GoFundMe page. Their newborn daughter apparently needed heart surgery.
“We reported a story that [Gunplay] had to put a GoFundMe up because he was having some problems. If that’s your brother, you take care of your brother,” said Envy on The Breakfast Club about Ross’s relationship with his Triple C’s groupmate.
Gunplay & Vonshae Claim They Only Received $15,000 From GoFundMe
Some people took issue with Envy using Gunplay’s family’s serious medical concerns as ammunition in a dispute with Rick Ross. Evidently, some former supporters have now turned on Gunplay as well after he gifted Ross with a diamond-encrusted pendant.
The We In Miami Podcast spoke to Gunplay and Vonshae Taylor-Morales. A clip from that conversation made its way to Instagram. In the video, Gunplay blasts anyone requesting a refund from the GoFundMe campaign because of his expensive present to Rick Ross.
“Every single one of you p####-ass hoes and f### n##### that went to the GoFundMe and donated and went and got a m############ refund, you never gave it with your heart,” expressed Gunplay. “You’re a p############. You’ll die that way.”
He added, “People that see me give my brother a gift, they automatically want to say that I bought that with GoFundMe money. N#### had to pay that back. So now, if you really want to be for real, my n####, if a n#### spent that on a chain, how the f### they got it right back instantly with no pressure?”
Vonshae also said she had to show proof that all the GoFundMe donations went to help her daughter. As of press time, the Morales’ fundraiser has a total of $30,960, but the couple claimed they only received $15,000.
Hip Hop producer Metro Boomin scored his second Top 10 entry on the Billboard 200 in the last sixth months.
Metro Boomin’s Heroes & Villains studio album debuted at No. 1 in December 2022. The St. Louis native also made it into this week’s Top 10 with the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse project.
Metro Boomin recruited a star-studded lineup. Swae Lee, Lil Wayne, Offset, Future, A$AP Rocky, Don Toliver, Coi Leray, Lil Uzi Vert, 21 Savage, Nas, James Blake, and more acts contributed to the compilation.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is the sequel to 2018’s Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Sony Pictures tapped Metro Boomin to executive produce the new movie’s soundtrack.
“The concept for the next installment of Miles’ story demanded a contemporary and culturally significant musical collaborator,” said Spring Aspers, President of Music, at Sony Pictures.
Spring Aspers also added, “Metro Boomin was clearly the perfect cultural voice to sculpt the musical environment to support this amazing next chapter.”
5-STAR by South Korean boy band Stray Kids topped the latest Billboard 200 with 249,500 first-week units. In addition, Memphis rapper Moneybagg Yo’s Hard to Love launched at No. 10 with 51,000 units.
It has been a celebratory time for Nau’Jour “Toosii” Grainger. The Capitol recording artist dropped his Naujour album on June 2, but one Twitter user tried to ruin the singer’s good time.
“Dada was a cowboy yesterday ❤️,” tweeted Toosie on Sunday. He also shared photos of himself wearing a cowboy outfit as he held his young son in his arms.
Apparently, those pictures triggered at least one person on the social media app. A Twitter user with the handle @fivestarbadgirl responded, “Y’all sure he not 🌈🍎🍉🍑🍓🥝????”
The use of the rainbow and multiple fruit emojis suggested the troll questioned the performer’s sexuality. Toosii then clapped back at the @fivestarbadgirl account in a 14-second video.
“Everything a n#### do in this generation be fruity to y’all. Y’all see a n#### in person and be ready to suck a n####’s dick though,” said Toosii. “Stop playing with me while my son’s in my hand, b####.”
Toosii later returned to Twitter to add, “Listen I love everyone, but I disagree with negative people that’s all. Sending love to everyone and I see the comments lol. I appreciate the love. ❤️ Y’all are crazy.”
Meanwhile, Toosii’s new Naujour studio LP is expected to open in the Top 25 on the Billboard 200 chart. The Naujour track “Favorite Song” already peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 weekly rankings.
Listen I love everyone, but I disagree with negative people that’s all. Sending love to everyone and I see the comments lol I appreciate the love ❤️ y’all are crazy
DC Young Fly celebrated the life of his late partner Jacky Oh, during a moving speech at her memorial service in Atlanta on Saturday (Jun. 10)
In a video shared online, the comedian reflected on what a wonderful mother Jacky Oh was to their three young children.
“I love you, Jack. These kids are beautiful, man. God granted me that strength to have three,” Young Fly shared during the service. He also found time for some humor making a joke about his dream to have ten kids.
“You know I was trying to have seven more,” he said while gyrating his hips. “She’s gonna beat me up for that one.”
He continued, “I want our kids to understand that you had a beautiful soul. You didn’t leave us; you in heaven. Your spirit is with us, you’re still here, and he have an amazing support system. Love you. Everybody in here, keep God first.”
Elsewhere during his speech, the Wild ‘N Out star spoke on his religion and how he is only managing to cope thanks to his faith in God.
On Sunday, DC Young Fly shared another tribute to his late partner on social media.
“Sent you off the right way mama 🤎🥹 love u forever 💪🏾💪🏾” he penned in the caption. “The kids gon be str8 and you kno GOD got us 💪🏾🙏🏾🤎”
Last week, DC Young Fly opened up about Jacky Oh’s passing in an Instagram post. He also explained why he delayed making a public statement for a week after her death.
“I wasn’t in no rush to post this because I wanted it to be a dream so bad but every hour I’m reminded of [reality] so I wanna make sure I applaud you in the proper manner,” he wrote. “You are the GREATEST MOTHER I KNOW your soul was beautiful Yu always wanted the best for others and I admired how our family love each other!!! Never had to worry about our kids loving each other cause you were on top of Dat!!!”
The exhibition match between Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III descended into a mass brawl Sunday night, with chaos in the ring and backstage.
The night started off well, with a joint performance from on-again-off-again couple Blueface and Chrisean Rock to warm up the crowd before the boxing. Reality TV personality Joseline Hernandez also took to the stage, delivering a raunchy performance.
Floyd Mayweather came out for the main event at FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida, with his grandson in his arms. The little boy, shown in public for the first time, is the son of the boxing champ’s daughter Yaya and NBA YoungBoy.
Once the fight began, Mayweather was in attack mode, peppering Gotti with punches for the first five rounds. Referee Kenny Bayless eventually halted the match in the sixth round after he had enough of all the trash-talking.
However, Gotti ignored the stoppage decision and began swinging at Mayweather after the bell. At that point, chaos erupted as both entourages rushed the stage, sparking a mass brawl.
Floyd remained unbothered by the melee, and climbed atop the ring ropes as he smiled at the crowd.
Meanwhile, backstage Joseline Hernandez got into it with another woman. One clip shows her kicking at a woman on the floor and even hitting the security guard in an attempt to fight the woman. Another shows the women brawling wildly as others get involved, throwing punches.
Kanye West was all smiles as he celebrated his 46th birthday at the weekend.
The G.O.O.D. Music founder marked his born day with a private bash in Los Angeles on Saturday (Jun. 10), two days after his actual birthday on Jun. 8, per TMZ. He was surrounded by loved ones and celebrity pals, including Chloe Bailey, Ty Dolla $ign, and Freddie Gibbs.
Amid the celebrations, Kanye seemingly mixed business with pleasure, apparently shooting the visuals to DONDA‘s “Off The Grid.” However, behind the camera was his eldest child, North West. Ye’s new wife, Bianca Censori, watched alongside the little girl, who turns ten later this week (Jun. 15).
Donning the sock shoe and massive shoulder pads combo he’s sported recently, Ye rapped the lyrics while throwing some signature Kanye West shapes as North West guided the camera.
Elsewhere during the bash, guests were greeted by nude models atop tables with nothing but a few bits of sushi to cover their modesty. Originating in Japan, the practice of sashimi or sushi from naked women instead of plates is referred to as Nyotaimori.
In clips shared online, several nude women covered in food can be seen lying on tables while staring blankly up at the ceiling. In one video, Kanye chats with friends watching a chef place food on top of one of the models.
Lil Wayne is giving Nicki Minaj her flowers in a major way.
According to the Young Money Entertainment founder, there is no greater female rapper to ever touch a mic than Nicki Minaj.
Weezy made his comments during a discussion on the All The Smoke podcast. The Hosts asked Lil Wayne where he ranks Nicki Minaj in the all-time female rappers’ list.
“All time female?” he replied. “I don’t want to hurt nobodies’ feelings but boy. Ain’t nobody f###### with Nicki. They come after.”
Nicki Minaj showed love in return, reposting the clip on social media Sunday night (Jun. 11).
“I’ll give u a dollar if you can find a lie‼️‼️‼️‼️,” she penned in the caption. “When the greatest rapper of all time believed & still believes in you. 🥹♥️”
The “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” hitmaker then paid tribute to Lil Wayne, thanking him for always being there for her. She also shouted out Young Money president Mack Maine.
“I sure did lean on your confidence & u sure were ALWAYS there,” she continued. “Til this day- when I send you smthng you send a verse bakk. @liltunechi ♥️ we love you so much. We thank you so much. Long live the BAR! 📈 Bar for Bar. 📝 ✍🏽 No pun intended 🫡 #MulaBaaabay!!! @mackmaine4president”
In an interview last year, Lil Wayne explained why he works with artists like his Young Money signings, Nicki Minaj and Drake.
“I work profusely. It’s unhealthy how I work. I look for drive… With Nicki, what she genuinely always had, she forgets she’s a woman and Nicki. You forget it at a certain point in her raps,” he shared. “Drake, it was, I had to make him sing. He thought that it would take away from him as a rapper. Even though he didn’t want to, that’s genuine, and you can’t break that.”
Kodak Black turned his 26th birthday on June 11 into a vibrant celebration, paying homage to his roots and continuing his legacy of generosity. His commemoration was marked by the second annual Kodak Black Day, designed to give back to his beloved community.
The lively gathering was held at Pompano Community Park, the heart of Pompano Beach. It wasn’t an ordinary park day though, as it was highlighted by a car and bike exhibition.
An impressive collection of 100 of the nation’s most eye-catching vehicles and motorcycles was on display, impressing the hundreds of locals in attendance.
The park was alive with the pulsating rhythm of live music and tantalizing aromas of delicious food.
Entertaining performances from the renowned Dream Team Elite Dancers, local Hip-Hop talents and the birthday star Kodak Black added a vibrant hue to the celebration. The event was thoughtfully crafted, ensuring inclusivity for all age groups. A dedicated Kid Zone, teeming with arts, crafts and other family-oriented activities, ensured the little ones also shared in the fun.
Kodak Black Day is not just an ordinary celebration; it’s a tradition. It began in 2021 when the then Broward County Mayor, Dale Holness, presented the rapper with a proclamation, an acknowledgment of his relentless altruistic efforts for the community’s wellbeing.
The day serves as a salute to Kodak Black’s philanthropic endeavors. He’s continually extended a helping hand, whether it’s through financial support to bereaved families of police officers, a generous donation of $100,000 to Nova Southeastern University’s library or his heartfelt contributions to the memory of the students tragically lost in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland.
This celebration of Kodak Black’s birthday was much more than a mere party; it reaffirmed his commitment to his community. Through his ongoing acts of philanthropy, Kodak Black continues to inspire his community, using his fame and influence to give back, positively impacting the lives of those around him.
So, Moriah Mills has the time. Via, her official Twitter account, she’s using those 280 characters to air out Zion Williamson. But why? Well, for compromising her $100,000 “allowance.”
Perhaps, frustration is a flimsy understatement. The Only Fans entrepreneur is emotionally reeling. As a matter-of-fact, every couple encounters their share of tribulations. However, her heartbreaks appears to be unfolding in real-time.
Recently, the kept woman discovered info about the Pelicans prodigy. This life-changing news is that of his pregnancy announcement with Ms. Ahkeema Love. That’s right, the spurned lover is more than distraught.
Thus, the shenanigans are unfolding. Just yesterday, a racy tape allegedly capturing an intimate interaction made its social media debut. Interesting… Following that, the receipts have been flying.
“Thanks for the gifts you gave me last week @Zionwilliamson,” writes the former thespian. She continues with, “not sure why you wanted to make me upset again it’s all good.” Then, she insists, “You have responsibilities now!!!”
With honesty, she offers, “You would be mad too if you 107k monthly allowance may have to be cut because of a trap baby!! And no I’m not posting all the receipts off this,” a peace sign emoji emphasizes her thoughts.
Be that as it may, Moriah Mills seems to still contemplate the status of her alleged relationship. To the professional baller, she inquires, “Did you even love me @ZionWilliamson or was it all a lie,” she quips.
Stay tuned as this saga seems to be far from over.
Machine Gun Kelly’s girlfriend Megan Fox has slammed claims that she made her sons wear girls’ clothing. She also insisted her accuser messed with the “wrong witch.”
Republican politician Robby Starbuck has faced criticism after he claimed to have overheard two of the actress’s children say they were “forced by their mom to wear girls’ clothes.”
Megan Fox’s 3 boys despite the statistical improbability of it all, having gender dysphoria, seems more about her coping with something going on in her head than caring about them 🤷🏾♂️ pic.twitter.com/nzQU9Vy9JR
Megan Fox has denied the allegation, insisting Starbuck was just trying to grab some headlines for himself.
“Irregardless of how desperate you may become at any given time to acquire wealth, power, success, or fame – never use children as leverage or social currency,” Fo wrote in an Instagram post alongside Starbuck’s original tweet. “especially under malevolent and erroneous pretense. Exploiting my child’s gender identity to gain attention in your political campaign has put you on the wrong side of the universe.”
Fox, who shares sons 10-year-old Noah, 9-year-old Bodhi and 6-year-old Journey with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green, went on to insist she wasn’t someone to be messed with.
“I have been burned at the stake by insecure narcissistic impotent little men like you many times and yet i’m still here,” she wrote. “you f**ked with the wrong witch.”
Starbuck recently tweeted he “used to live in the same gated community” as Fox’s family and often saw the kids playing at the park, before going on to accuse the actress of forcing her boys to wear girls’ clothes.
Austin-Green has also hit back at the claims, insisting they are the work of a “selfish” person. “It’s a totally bogus story,” the Beverly Hills, 90210 star told TMZ. “There are only a few people in their world that can actually verify whether or not a story like this is true and I can tell you with absolute certainty it is not.
“This person trying to claim this is true is a perfect example of someone with selfish motives that does not care about negatively affecting a parent-child relationship.”
The discussion eventually turned to politics. Republicans dragged Megan Fox, while more liberals people rushed to her support.
The conservative freaks made up a story about Megan Fox forcing her kids to dress feminine and she trolled them with threats of witchcraft/black magic and now they’re all having meltdowns 😭
Kelis and Bill Murray set the internet ablaze after they were photographed together last week. According to the U.S. Sun, the “Milkshake” singer and eccentric Hollywood actor the two are romantically involved. However, neither one of them have officially confirmed (or denied) the report.
On Saturday (June 10), Kelis shared an Instagram photo of herself sporting a bikini. The comment section blew up with inquiring minds who were desperate to find out if the rumors were true. One commenter wrote, “Ma’am would you care to address these Bill Murray allegations?!? Cuz damn! What he doing with all that?!?” Kelis actually responded and said, “lol no babe, I wouldn’t bother at all.”
Bill Murray watched Kelis perform from the side of the stage at a London gig earlier this month. He’s also reportedly popped up at other shows of hers. Sources say the couple was also together at the same hotel and have been “getting close for a while.”
Kelis is historically quiet about her private life, much like she was during her time married to Nas. More recently, Kelis was married to Mike Mora who died from cancer in March 2022. She didn’t say much while Mora was sick—not even after he passed away.
But if the rumors are true, she’s moving on. A source reportedly said, “They were both seen at the same hotel, and he’s been to watch her perform several times before he went to Mighty Hoopla. But they’ve also both shared relatively recent bereavements and have that common bond between them.
“Whatever it is that has brought them together, and however unlikely it seems, they are both single and are having fun despite the fairly big age gap.”
Meanwhile, Murray recently mourned the loss of his ex-wife Jennifer Butler—who he split from in 2008 after more than 10 years together—following her unexpected death in 2021.
Souls of Mischief, Pharcyde and Tha Alkaholiks will convene at The Novo in Los Angeles on August 13 for a special performance. Hosted by Goldenvoice/AEG Presents, the stacked lineup coincides with the 50th anniversary celebration of Hip-Hop.
Each group will perform their most celebrated albums. Souls of Mischief will perform 93 Til Infinity, Pharcyde will perform Bizarre Ride II and Tha Alkaholiks will perform 21 & Over.
Souls of Mischief—Phesto, Tajai, A-Plus and Opio of the Hieroglyphics—is currently in the middle of a massive 93-date tour in honor of 93 Til Infinity, their seminal debut. It’s been a wild ride thus far. While performing at London’s Jazz Cafe, someone decided to swipe one of their special tour jackets.
The group quickly issued an ultimatum on Instagram, writing in a since-deleted post, “This person is not a fan of our legacy at all. Yes we have the video of the theft in our possession thanks to the wonderful staff here. The thieves (yes her too) have until tomorrow night at 8pm to return the jacket with it’s belongings or we will post and repost the clip to our media outlets and sincerely ask for all of our followers, family and friends to repost.
“Our footage of the theft is clear as day and we will do whatever it takes to identify (him/her) if you do NOT come forward. We have two more shows at this venue where we’ll also announce the thievery and bring awareness to what transpired with the intent to ID this cat.”
The jacket was ultimately returned and Souls of Mischief have continued on their expansive trek. On June 13, they will land in Toronto, hit Quebec the following day and head to Vermont on June 15. Stops in Boston, New York City, Philly, Baltimore, D.C. and Atlanta are among the many cities left. The group will also perform at the historic Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado on September 17 with Atmosphere, Danny Brown and more. Find more information here.
Pharcyde meanwhile, has been performing as a trio as of late. Despite B##### Brown’s absence, Imani, Fatlip and Slimkid3 crush their setlist each and every night, performing all the classics, including “Drop” and “Runnin’.” As for the upcoming Novo show, details are available on the Goldenvoice website.
