By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: NewsJuly 28, 2022

Law enforcement officials confirmed Javorius “JayDaYoungan” Scott died from gunshot wounds. The 24-year-old, Louisiana-bred rapper’s father, Kenyatta Scott Sr., also suffered injuries during the violent incident.

“This is an update to the press release of a shooting earlier tonight. We can now identify the victims as Javorius Scott, A.K.A. JayDaYoungan, and his father, Kenyatta Scott Sr.,” read a July 27 Facebook post by the Bogalusa Police Department.

The Bogalusa Police Department’s statement about JayDaYoungan’s family continued, “We can also confirm that Javorius Scott has died as a result of his injuries. Kenyatta Scott has been transported to another facility and we have been told he is in stable condition.”

At one point, JayDaYoungan’s sister seemed to deny the Baby23 album creator had passed away. Several outlets reposted messages from Kenya Janell where she blasted the media for essentially spreading fake news.

However, a few hours ago, Kenya Janell took to her main Instagram page to corroborate the reports of her sibling’s passing. The social media influencer also posted several videos and photos of JayDaYoungan on her Instagram Story.

“Javorious, no way they took you from me like this💔I’m sick to my stomach, they wanted this… they wanted to see you like this bro,” wrote Janell about JayDaYoungan. “I’m so sorry💔I love you so much!!! Sister is so hurt. I literally watched you grow from the ground up [with] this rapping [s###]!”

She added, “You [were] the goat in my eyes, especially from where we come from baby I’m so sorry!!!!! Jay you literally hurt us with this [s###]!!! Dawg this cannot be life!!! I got J.R., and I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. 23 FOREVER AND I’M STANDING ON IT.🖤🕊🩸CITY WILL GET PAINTED RED!”

Before his passing, JayDaYoungan released numerous music projects such as the 2022 EPs Scarred and All is Well. Earlier this year, the Atlantic recording artist earned a 2x-Platinum plaque for his “23 Island” single. He also has three Gold Awards from the RIAA.

U.K. Drill Artist Central Cee Trolls Radio Station With “Clean Version” Of Viral Hit ‘Doja”

By: London JennnCategory: NewsJuly 28, 2022

Central Cee saw his latest single, “Doja,” go viral after generating millions of plays from a snippet on TikTok before the song was even released.

Earlier this week, U.K. radio station Capital XTRA reached out to the artist for a radio edit, as the song is laden with cuss words and potentially offensive lyrics.

The host announced Central Cee had returned a clean version, however, it wasn’t exactly what he was expecting.

“You know when you ask Central Cee for a radio version and he sends you something like this,” Yasser explains before playing the song.

“I need a clean version for radio. I ain’t got s### to say, they want me to change my lyrics but they won’t hit the same,” the West Londoner raps. “This guys trolling us innit,” the host remarks before adding, “we’re still gonna play it.” Check out the clip below.

The video for Doja Cat has amassed over 11 million views on YouTube since it was released six days ago (Jul. 21). The video, directed by Lyrical Lemonade’s Cole Bennett, marks the first time the popular channel has featured a U.K. artist. Check it out below.

Meanwhile on Monday, Central Cee teased a second verse for the 1-minute, 45-second track via Instagram Live.

“Verse 2. Leme leave this here for now ?” he teased, sharing a clip from the live stream.

Has Doja Cat Joined The Insect-Eating Trend?

By: London JennnCategory: NewsJuly 28, 2022

Doja Cat is vocal about how much she loves food and cooking and even recently announced plans for a new cooking show.

If her latest food adventures are anything to go by, her recipes, fans might have to go crawling around the backyard to find ingredients rather than the pantry as the “Say So” hitmaker appears to be a fan of eating insects.

Doja Cat took to Instagram on Wednesday (Jul. 27) to share a new selfie alongside a close-up of her sweet treat. However, her lollipop was covered with several ants, although it’s unclear whether Doja bought the lollipop with the ants or if they found their way by accident.

However, Doja Cat isn’t the only celeb to add ants to their diet. Earlier this month Lupita Nyong’o chowed down on the insects at an event to promote food sustainability.

“It’s ants,” she explains in the clip, showing her food to the camera. “It’s really good, it’s not even crunchy or anything.” Lupita captioned the post, “You can call me Ant-Woman!!” adding the hashtags, “#Marvel,” “#Ants” and “#Foodie.”

While Doja Cat and Lupita tired ants, Kanye West chose crickets when trying insects to celebrate in 2018 when his father’s cancer was in remission.

“Overcome fear,” he wrote. “My dad and I are going to eat this plate of bugs to celebrate him beating cancer. No more fear.

Meanwhile, Questlove has also eaten insects on at least a couple of occasions in the past. “I did try a few insects when I went to Korea,” he said in 2013. “We went to a restaurant where snails was the most regular thing they had. It was… interesting.”

Then, in 2015 he shared a photo of himself eating a crickets-on-top salad at Austin’s SXSW (South by Southwest) Food Festival.

“This was not a dare….@questlove is eating crickets and they are delicious,” he penned on Instagram.

RAP Act Introduced In Congress To Ban Lyrics As Evidence In Court Proceedings

By: London JennnCategory: NewsJuly 28, 2022

A new bill has been introduced to protect artists from the use of their lyrics against them in court, an issue that increasingly affects Hip-Hop artists.

The bill, which is the first of its kind at the federal level, was introduced on Wednesday (Jul. 27) in the U.S. House of Representatives by Congressmen Hank Johnson (GA-04) and Jamaal Bowman (NY-16). Titled the Restoring Artistic Protection Act (RAP Act), the bill would impact the Federal Rules of Evidence by adding a presumption “that would limit the admissibility of evidence of an artist’s creative or artistic expression against that artist in court.”

Prosecutors cited their lyrics in the RICO indictment against YSL rapper Young Thug and Gunna. The indictment includes Nine Young Thug songs, with prosecutors using them to portray him as a violent gang figure.

Support For The Rap Act

Following Wednesday’s announcement, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. and Rico Love, chair of the Recording Academy Black Music Collective, remarked:

“Today’s introduction of the RAP Act in the House of Representatives is a crucial step forward in the ongoing battle to stop the weaponization of creative expression as a prosecution tactic. The bias against rap music has been present in our judicial system for far too long, and it’s time we put an end to this unconstitutional practice. We extend our gratitude to Representatives Hank Johnson (D-GA) and Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) for their leadership on this issue, and we will continue to work closely with them to advance the protections in this bill that ensure all artists can create freely without fear of their work being criminalized.”

“Rap, hip-hop and every lyrical musical piece is a beautiful form of art and expression that must be protected,” Congressman Bowman added, as per Variety. “I am proud to introduce the RAP Act alongside Rep. Hank Johnson. Our judicial system disparately criminalizes Black and brown lives, including Black and brown creativity.

He then gave the example of 17-year-old Tommy Munsdwell, currently serving life behind bars. His conviction heavily relied upon his song lyrics. “He is not an outlier. Evidence shows when juries believe lyrics to be rap lyrics, there’s a tendency to presume it’s a confession, whereas lyrics for other genres of music are understood to be art, not factual reporting,” Congressman Bowman continued. “This act would ensure that our evidentiary standards protect the First Amendment right to freedom of expression. We cannot imprison our talented artists for expressing their experiences nor will we let their creativity be suppressed.”

R. Kelly’s Sisters Claim Singer Is A Victim Of Racial Injustice

By: London JennnCategory: NewsJuly 28, 2022

R. Kelly’s three sisters, Cassandra, Theresa, and Lisa Kelly, have given a new interview claiming their brother is “the only victim” in the case while maintaining that he’s been harshly sentenced due to a racist justice system.

Furthermore, the U.K. news show Good Morning Britain reports that R. Kelly “has been writing and sending letters from his prison cell, claiming that his 30-year sentence was because of the color of his skin.”

His sisters support his claims, with Cassandra stating, “African Americans have always been treated unfairly. So I think that that has a lot to do with it as well as other factors.”

Lisa added, “just because he’s been found guilty, doesn’t mean he’s guilty.” She then denied the victim’s allegation of being held hostage, stating, “these females are treated like queens.”

She also denied R. Kelly had been with underage girls. “I can say he may have been with younger women but as far as underage girls, no. And I stress girls—underage girls, who has seen that?”

When the interviewer pointed out that it was proven in court that R. Kelly married Aaliyah when she was just 15 the sisters denied it. “I don’t know that he married Aaliyah,” Lisa said before refusing to talk about it any further.

His Sisters Claim R. Kelly Is The Victim

When asked about the victims’ claims, Lisa again defended her brother and claimed he is the victim in the situation. “I’m not gonna acknowledge something that I don’t have the proof of. If there is a victim, I’ll acknowledge. But from what I’ve seen in court and from what I’ve studied and from what I’ve read the only victim I see that’s been stolen from, lied on is Robert. No one is talking about the money that was being extorted from Robert. No one is talking about what was stolen from him…he’s not a monster, he’s not a pedophile, he was just taken advantage of.”

Watch the interview below.

Last month, R. Kelly was sentenced to 30 years behind bars after being found guilty of child trafficking. He was recently moved to a Chicago prison to face trial in August on multiple counts of child pornography and child sex trafficking.

By: Justin IveyCategory: NewsJuly 27, 2022

50 Cent secured a deal with the Sacramento Kings less than six months after getting into business with the Houston Rockets.

The G-Unit rapper inked a multi-year partnership to make Sire Spirits the official premium champagne partner of the Sacramento Kings. 50 Cent’s liquor brand will also be the main sponsor of Rush, the largest premium club in the team’s arena.

“We are thrilled to partner with [50 Cent] and bring Sire Spirits to Golden 1 Center for our fans and guests to enjoy,” Sacramento Kings owner and chairman Vivek Ranadivé said in a press release. “This partnership continues the Kings commitment to supporting diverse entrepreneurs and aligns our shared passion for providing youth with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed.

Kodak Black Let Loose From GPS Monitoring After Clerical Error

By: Justin IveyCategory: ExclusivesJuly 27, 2022

Kodak Black scored a legal victory to stop GPS monitoring while he’s out on bond.

According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, Kodak Black wasn’t required to have GPS monitoring following his drug arrest. A monitoring device was mistakenly placed on the controversial rapper despite a judge deeming it to be “not necessary.”

“Honorable Magistrate Judge Goodman signed the written order which states the pretrial release conditions for the Defendant,” Kodak Black’s attorney Bradford Cohen noted. “On page three (3) of the written order under the title ‘Location Monitoring Program’ there is no ‘check mark’ next to the condition that reads ‘Active GPS Monitoring.’ It does however state and checks off the box that states ‘location monitoring technology at the discretion of officer.’ The probation officer in turn requested a GPS monitoring device be placed on the Defendant, at his own expense.”

Cohen requested to have the device removed on three occasions. But authorities refused to do so based on the written order “allowing the probation officers the discretion to choose and place the GPS monitor on the Defendant.”

Judge Jonathan Goodman clarified the order on Wednesday (July 27).

“At the hearing, after argument specifically discussing the probation officers request for GPS monitoring, the undersigned denied the request,” he wrote. “The box for GPS monitoring on the bond is not checked. Although another box for GPS monitoring at the officer’s discretion is checked, that language applies only if the Court entered GPS monitoring as a condition, which was specifically not done here. So, Defendant is not required to wear a GPS monitor. But if the officer has specific grounds to again request GPS monitoring, then it can certainly make another request.”

Kodak Black was arrested in Florida on July 15. He was charged with trafficking in oxycodone and possession of a controlled substance.

The Atlantic Records artist accused police of harassing him in a series of Twitter posts on Tuesday (July 26). He threatened to file a lawsuit, claiming he’s the victim of character assassination and racial profiling.

Beyoncé’s Album Leaks, BeyHive Starts Snitching!

By: IllseedCategory: RumorsJuly 27, 2022

Yoooooo

Yo! Beyoncé has reportedly sprung a leak! You guys know that Beyoncé is notoriously buttoned up when it comes to her operation. She has managed to create epic moments and never has she had a leak. You have to know that in this day and age of social media, clout chasing and digital music that this is close to impossible.

But that’s exactly what has happened. Her new album Renaissance has reportedly leaked to the Internet and people are going crazy. First of all, people like myself are amazed and shocked that this has happened. This has never happened! There has been a contingency that is interested in listening to the album before it drops midnight Friday morning.

There is also a contingency, the BEYHIVE, that is fighting to make sure that this does not get to people. Now, I don’t know how the Hive is going to do this, because stopping a digital leak is harder than stopping a dam that has burst.

Nevertheless, they have taken to Twitter to report people that are either sharing it or leaking it. This is Beyoncé‘s seventh album, her first album since 2016 Lemonade. You better not do it! And if you do, keep it to yourself!

They are not playing with people out here! I can’t believe that these people are getting a pass for snitching! Anyway, I don’t believe we should leak music anyway because this is an event. I love Beyoncé and I think that she is probably the most incredible artist that we have right now. Chris Brown should take notes. We need to preserve this greatness.

Quando Rondo Reportedly Rushed To The Hospital

By: IllseedCategory: RumorsJuly 27, 2022

Quando Rondo.

We don’t exactly know what’s going on, but it looks like Quando Rondo is having some sort of a health issue.

According to reports and rumors, he was rushed to the hospital for some mysterious reasons. This all started from an Instagram story from the rapper. He said he’s in his hospital and he’s fighting for his life.“Pray for me, in da hospital fighting for my life.. #fuClean,” Quando Rondo wrote.

We don’t have too many more details outside of that. If you feel like it, add him to your prayers. I know a lot of people won’t be doing that. But it couldn’t hurt, right?

It really isn’t mentioned a whole lot anymore, but Quando Rondo is known as a dude that may have been party in the killing of King Von to many people. That was almost 2 years ago, but he is not convicted or charged of any crime. Quando has denied that he had anything to do with it. But he hasn’t exactly hidden his affiliation with Lul Timm, who is actually charged.

Quando Rondo has gone to great lengths to free his name from that mess. He says he was sleeping in the car prior to the shooting in Atlanta that took Von‘s life. He’s done numerous interviews on the issue and is not under investigation as far as we know. They did reportedly have beef though and clearly that has a lot of people looking at him sideways.

I don’t know anything, but a lot of kids are doing a lot of drugs and stuff. It is catching up with them faster and faster since the are already light in the a$$! Grandmaster Melle Mel got himself off CRACK! F you talking ’bout!

Mel told us:

I didn’t get hooked on coke all that much. But when, crack came out, I did crack. I was a crack head at one time. A couple of years – a lot of people got caught out there. It wasn’t me. I didn’t have to go to rehab. After a couple years and I’m not looking as good as I used to and I aint writing. I left it alone.

“All I seen today was meek and roc part ways,” he wrote. “I’m personally handling my own business so I can take risk and grow ..we came to that agreement together..I have a label deal with roc for my artist and I got reform super tied with them and many other investments wit jigga.”

Meek Mill hasn’t dropped any music since 2021’s Expensive Pain album. The LP was released by Atlantic Records, which he’s criticized on multiple occasions.

Sesame Place Slapped With $25 Million Class Action Lawsuit

By: IllseedCategory: RumorsJuly 27, 2022

Sesame Place.

Sesame Place! Sesame Place! Sesame Place!

You guys have p##### me off! I can’t believe the place where kids are supposed to learn to love each other, has become a place where racism permeates in the very fabric of the imaginary system. What in the world are we supposed to think when the place EXCLUSIVELY for kids is now a place for racism?

Sesame Place has been the subject of a class action lawsuit for allegations that certain characters discriminated against young black kids on Father’s Day. So, this is not the same stuff that we recently saw on social media. Those people are also pursuing legal action against Sesame Place but it is not a part of this whole class action lawsuit.

So, those people clearly saw what happened with the recent stuff and then took it and decided to go forward with their own lawsuit. They do allege that Sesame Place discriminated against them during the Father’s Day weekend, which was over a month ago. They also say they have plenty of video to support their claims that they were treated like trash!

The original 9-second video posted has led to at least a half-dozen similar videos showing Sesame Place employees in character ignoring Black children. I can’t even put allegedly here even though it is allegedly. They literally are seen struggling off and walking past Black kids and embracing young kids of other races. Nobody told Rosita race is a social construct!

Now, Sesame Place has a number of lawsuits that are here or pending.

Hell. This is where we are people…Sesame Street was a safe space for us. It was even created for kids in Harlem. Can you believe it?

The Wiki does not speak on this!

Trump Wants LeBron James To Transition To A Woman To Play On His Women’s Basketball Team

By: Justin IveyCategory: NewsJuly 27, 2022

Donald Trump proposed a bizarre scenario where he’d recruit LeBron James to play on a women’s basketball team.

The disgraced ex-president shared his wild idea involving James during a speech at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit. Trump told the audience he’d somehow convince the NBA star to transition to a woman in an effort to assemble the best women’s basketball team.

“I’d be the greatest women’s basketball coach in history,” he said. “Because I don’t like LeBron James, I like Michael Jordan much better. But I’d go up to LeBron James, it doesn’t matter. I’d say, ‘LeBron, did you ever have any desire to be a woman? Because what I’d love you to do is star on my team that I’m building up.’ I will have the greatest team in history. They’ll never lose. Nobody will come within 70 points of this team.”

Trump and James have traded insults in recent years. James famously called the twice-impeached politician a “bum” in 2017. Trump mocked the NBA champion’s intelligence in 2018.

“Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do.”
