Issa Rae Had An “Amazing” Time Working On “Barbie” Movie

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Aug 28, 2022 at 4:30pmCategory: Pop News

Issa Rae had an “absolutely amazing” time working with Greta Gerwig on the “Barbie” movie.

The director’s highly-anticipated movie stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as live-action versions of Mattel’s Barbie and Ken dolls, alongside a star-studded cast including Issa, Will Ferrell, Kate McKinnon, Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa, America Ferrera, and Simu Liu.

While she couldn’t reveal anything about her character or the top-secret plot, Issa told Today’s digital magazine that she was sold on Greta’s specific vision for the film.

“I was like, ‘This sounds crazy, but OK. Let me just read the script.’ When you read the script, you’re like, ‘Oh, I get it!’ It’s very funny, and it’s just very specific to her… working with her was absolutely amazing,” she said.

Greta Gerwig co-wrote the movie with her partner, “Marriage Story’s” Noah Baumbach, and it is due to be released in July 2023.

Following the end of her T.V. show “Insecure” in December 2021, Issa filmed “Barbie,” B.J. Novak’s directorial debut “Vengeance,” an episode of the Apple TV+ anthology series “Roar,” and recorded a voice role for “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.”

She has also started writing a movie screenplay of her own and confirmed she would act in at least one of the projects she wrote.

“It’s part of the next chapter. I’m looking to film one soon,” she shared. “I’ll see how that goes!”

Fulton County D.A. Using Rap Lyrics In New RICO Case Against Gang

By: Mike Winslow Updated Aug 28, 2022 at 4:03pmCategory: News

The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office in Atlanta, Georgia, has unveiled the latest gang to be hit with RICO charges – and rap lyrics will be a factor in prosecuting the case.

Earlier this week, prosecutors unveiled the 220-count indictment against a gang called Drug Rich, whose members have been terrorizing the city since at least 2016.

According to the indictment, the Drug Rich gang originated in Stone Mountain and other areas of DeKalb County, Georgia,

The gang popped up on authorities’ radar during an investigation in Sandy Springs, Georgia, in 2021, after a string of home invasions.

Through an investigation, police were able to link the Drug Rich gang to at least 13 violent home invasions, including one where a man was shot during the incident.

Gang members were allegedly responsible for the recent burglary of Mariah Carey’s $5 million mansion, robbing influencer Marlo Hampton and targeting rapper Gunna, who is also being held without bail in a separate RICO case with rapper Young Thug.

Prosecutors say the gang would target victims based on affluence and then monitor their social media accounts before robbing their marks.

Last week, Drug Rich leader Jeremy Caldwell was arrested in connection with Mariah Carey’s burglary, in addition to the RICO case, as were Terryion Anderson and Jalen Huff.

The three men were arrested in Miami, Florida.

According to the indictment, in addition to the traditional evidence that prosecutors gathered against 26 members of the gang, investigators are also pointing to rap lyrics and videos which allegedly incriminate the members.

Drunk 6ix9ine Admits He Is In “Dark Place,” And Hasn’t Been In Studio, But Fans Notice Something Strange About Rapper

By: Mike Winslow Updated Aug 28, 2022 at 2:03pmCategory: News

Rapper 6ix9ine popped up on Instagram over the weekend to update his fan on his lack of musical output.

The rapper admitted he was inebriated and said he was still in a “dark place.” According to 6ix9ine, he is working to improve his mental health before dropping anything new.

“I love my fans. I know you guys have been expecting a lot of music. Just right now, genuinely, I’m not mentally…I don’t want to give you guys any false hope I’m there. I’m just trying to get mentally right just with everything. Trying to find…I’m pretty drunk right now but…I’m just trying to better myself. I find myself in a pretty dark place all the time,” 6ix9ine confessed.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Chvex4Bqf1P/?hl=en

Although 6ix9ine said new music was inevitably on the way, the rapper admitted he had not been in the studio in a while and had lost interest in social media.

“I’m still the king of IG. I’m still king of the internet. I just don’t use it that much anymore. I barely be in the studio,” 6ix9ine admitted.

The stream drew over 62,000 viewers. And some people watching could not help but notice something different about 6ix9ine.

In addition to a more calm demeanor, the Brooklyn, New York rapper seemed to have lost his thick New York accent – which wasn’t lost upon those who watched the clip.

“That’s Daniel Hernandez talking, not 6ix9ine,” one user quipped, while another wrote, “he’s white now.” Other people accused the rapper of abusing cocaine.

6ix9ine has had his share of difficulties since he was released from prison early in April of 2020. The rapper was among a dozen members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods indicted on RICO charges in November of 2018.

He decided to cooperate with federal prosecutors and won a significantly reduced sentence for testifying against his former associates, who received prison sentences ranging from two to 24 years in prison.

6ix9ine has aggressively fought against the “snitch” label thrust upon him while beefing with rappers like Lil Durk, Meek Mill, and others. He has also been the subject of several lawsuits.

Most recently, the rapper was ordered to pay thousands of dollars to two robbery victims, who won a default judgment against the controversial rapper after claiming they were traumatized when members of Nine Trey robbed them in Manhattan in a case of mistaken identity.

The Story Behind MONEY SHI’s Legendary Climb to Stardom

By: Brxton Lee Updated Aug 28, 2022 at 1:36pmCategory: Music

Many artists have tried to make it big in the gospel music industry and failed. MONEY SHI is not one of them. His wise words, which he speaks with a voice molded by his trials and tribulations, give hope to those who feel they have lost everything. Born Terrance Davis on September 27th, 1991, in a small town in South Florida, MONEY SHI was exposed to music from an early age.

He inherited his African-American father and Jamaican mother’s eclectic taste in music and started singing when he was only 4 years old, inspired by the late Michael Jackson’s album Thriller. MONEY SHI’s love for music would grow over time until it became his lifeblood, the air that sustained him through all obstacles thrown his way when he got older.

“I’m from South Florida, and there’s not a lot to do in Miami besides drugs,” MONEY SHI admits. He explains he was arrested for the first time at age 17 for drug possession (cocaine) with intent to distribute. MONEY SHI spent three years incarcerated in the Everglades Correctional Institution in Miami-Dade, Florida, before being released. During his time there, he began writing songs to help him stay positive during such trying times and learned how to play guitar.

It was in prison that he also developed his relationship with God. This change from the party life to becoming an active Christian transformed his life completely by giving him more direction and stability. He wrote his first hit, “Walk With Me,” two months before he got out on prison stationery.

As a freshly minted and ambitious Christian, determined not to fall back into his old ways, MONEY SHI had a tough time adjusting to his new lifestyle. He knew he could not hang out with his old friends without being roped back into their ways, so he made a leap of faith and moved to Chicago, IL, where his cousin lived. MONEY SHI spent the new few months living out of suitcases and sleeping on couches as he struggled to establish his new life. In 2013, he released his track “Too Dazed to Move,” featuring the gospel group New Direction. The song peaked at number 6 on the Billboard Hot Gospel Songs chart and paved the way for MONEY SHI’s meteoric rise in the industry.

He followed up this success with the release of his first album, Man of Sorrows, which peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Gospel Albums chart. The album’s title song snagged multiple categories, such as contemporary Christian music and traditional praise and worship awards. MONEY SHI’s career continues to rise by the day. In the past three years, he has made huge strides, such as achieving platinum-selling status, multiple awards, radio play across the country, and collaborations with well-known Grammy-winning worship leaders. MONEY SHI has also sung for some of the most powerful people on earth and played for sold-out crowds worldwide.

From live performances in Japan, China, Thailand, and Jamaica to headlining at some of the most prestigious venues like Radio City Music Hall in New York City and the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., he’s become one of Gospel music’s most renowned faces. MONEY SHI’s dream is to keep touching lives through music and spreading the gospel of hope to all who feel weak throughout the world.

Former Employee Of 50 Cent Accused Of Stealing, Got Extorted And Then Ordered To Pay $6 Million

By: Mike Winslow Updated Aug 28, 2022 at 11:55amCategory: News

50 Cent’s Sire Spirits is among the most buzzing businesses in the alcohol and champagne business category.

Over the past few months, 50 has inked deals with NBA teams like Houston Rockets and Sacramento Kings to bring his famous champagne Le Chemin Du Roi and Branson Cognac to fans.

However, the business has not been without challenges. 50 is still locked in a battle with Remy Martin, who claims he stole the brand’s bottle design.

And most recently, it was revealed that 50 lost millions to a scheming employee who secretly pocketed kickbacks from top agencies.

According to court documents examined by the New York Post, the former director of Brand Management for Sire Spirits pocketed $2.2 million and kickbacks from wholesalers.

Mitchell Green started the scheme in 2018 and operated it for at least two years before his thieving ways became exposed in 2020.

As crazy as it may sound, Green admitted to stealing from 50 Cent’s company after someone began extorting him and threatened to expose his shady plan.

Green was promptly fired from Sire Spirits. 50 Cent’s company took him to court and won a massive judgment against the former employee.

Green was ordered to return over $948,000. Sire Spirits was also awarded court costs, attorney fees, and $2.7 million in damages. In total, Mitchell Green has to pay 50’s company a massive amount- over $6 million.

Meanwhile, 50 Cent continues to run a successful business. In addition to his recent brand deals, 50 Cent hosted his annual Tycoon Weekend in Houston, Texas.

A-listers like Floyd, Mayweather, Fat Joe, Mary J. Blige, and 2Chainz turned out to party with 50 Cent, drink Branson Cognac, and down his pricey bubbly, Le Chemin Du Roi.

Jack Harlow Hopes To Change Kentucky Before He “Leaves Earth”

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Aug 28, 2022 at 8:25amCategory: News

Jack Harlow hopes his lasting legacy will be seen and felt in his home state of Kentucky.

The Louisville native was born and bred in the U.S. state, and since finding fame as a rapper, has made it his mission to give back to the area.

Jack features as one of Harper’s Bazaar’s 2022 Icons, and in a chat with the magazine, he spoke about the legacy he wants to leave behind.

“I would like people to think of me as real and one of one,” he began. “And I’d like for people to know me as someone who gave back and lifted the community he’s from up. I’d like for Kentucky to be different after I leave earth and for people to have a better life because of it.”

The 24-year-old, who has upset his British fans by pulling out of the upcoming Reading and Leeds Festival lineup, also spoke about the moment he first realized he was famous.

Jack dropped his debut album, *Thats What They All Say,* in December 2020, but had garnered attention for collaborations with G-Eazy and Lil Wayne earlier that year.

“There’s no better indication that you’ve made it than going outside and people wanting something from you – wanting to talk to you or wanting a picture,” he divulged. “Summer of 2020, when I started to walk around Piedmont Park in Atlanta a lot and people would stop and be blown away: that was the moment when I realized I was famous.”

Jack is co-hosting and performing at the MTV Video Music Awards in New Jersey tonight (August 28th).

Kendrick Lamar Doesn’t Know How To Use Social Media Yet

By: Mike Winslow Updated Aug 27, 2022 at 7:04pmCategory: News

Kendrick Lamar has insisted he doesn’t “hate” social media.

The rapper, who released his fifth studio album *Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers* in May, boasts over 11 million followers on Instagram and 12 million on Twitter.

Despite his huge following, Kendrick rarely posts online, and in a new interview for Citizen magazine, he confessed that he doesn’t “really know” how to use the platforms.

“People ask me, ‘Man, you’ve never been on social media, you really hate it?’ Bro, I don’t really know how to use it like that to be 100 percent real with you,” the 35-year-old admitted. “I got friends, family, my team, they send me things, so I got good sentiments on what’s going on.”

Kendrick went on to note that he isn’t above wanting attention but doesn’t necessarily “adore” it.

But he also insisted that fame hasn’t impacted who he is as a person.

Come help me get out the box https://t.co/f9DwKE2ROn
— Kendrick Lamar (@kendricklamar) May 19, 2022

“The person that people see now is the person that I’ve always been. For me, the privacy thing has never been an issue that I had to carry out with full intention. It’s just who I am,” the star continued. “If I feel I have to remove myself, I just remove myself. I won’t complain about it. I won’t cause a big blow-up or a big stir and let the world know that the walls are closing in. Being able to be aware (of myself emotionally) and be able to eventually grow – emotionally mature to that level, it may take more time than the next man.”

Kevin Hart Says Nude Scene With Mark Wahlberg Was The Highlight For Him In Making “Me Time”

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Aug 27, 2022 at 5:02pmCategory: News

Kevin Hart has conceded Mark Wahlberg’s nude scene in “Me Time” “made the movie better.”

In the comedy, Kevin Hart plays a stay-at-home dad who finds himself with some “me time” for the first time in years but ends up reconnecting with a pal, as played by Wahlberg, for a wild weekend that nearly upends his life.

Reflecting on the moment Mark Wahlberg greets him utterly naked except for a pair of running shoes in an interview for “Extra,” Kevin Hart joked that having a near-nude Wahlberg in the project was a highlight of the production.

“(The scene) made the movie better,” he smiled. “That definitely was written, and he was a great sport about it.”

Wahlberg went on to insist that he was totally fine with stripping down for the part, especially as the character was in direct contrast to his other movie project – an action-thriller titled “Our Man from Jersey.”

“It was an absolute joy because I just come from making a movie that was very serious,” he shared. “Just to be able to have fun and try stuff and, you know, be made to look silly, but running around naked with a pair of sneakers on in the marina, wearing Daisy Dukes on a boat.”

Directed by John Hamburg, “Me Time” is streaming on Netflix now.

French Montana Launches Initiative To Help People In Music Business Struggling With Addiction

By: Mike Winslow Updated Aug 27, 2022 at 3:05pmCategory: News

Rap star French Montana is doing his part to wipe out the scourge of drug addiction thanks to a new partnership with the Guardian Recovery Network.

Through the partnership, French and GRN have launched NAQI Healthcare, which will offer in-home and private accommodation detoxification services.

Currently, French is targeting clients in Florida, New York, Texas, and California. However, the rap star hopes to expand the partnership with NAQI Healthcare in the near future.

“When I lost my good friend Mac Miller to addiction, it was devastating to all of us. I only wish he had services like NAQI before it was too late,” French Montana explained.

Clients battling addiction will receive a treatment team and 24/7 medical and clinical care in the best location for them.

French and the Guardian Recovery Network team believe NAQI Healthcare will help deliver favorable results for those who have not been able to receive personal care for their dependence in the past.

“I’ve seen many of us artists’ struggle. The music industry is no joke, it lifts a lot of us up, but it can tear you down just as fast,” French Montana said.

The partnership with Guardian Recovery Network is a continuation of French Montana’s mission in the healthcare field.

After the rap star visited Uganda in 2017 to perform to shoot the video for his hit single “Unforgettable” featuring Swae Lee, French saw firsthand the hardships locals faced when it came to healthcare.

French eventually teamed up with the Mama Hope Foundation and Global Citizen and opened the Suubi “Hope” Maternity Center to help serve over 300,000 people who need healthcare services in Uganda.

French, Montana, and NAQI Healthcare are working on an annual fundraising music event to give away 100% of the earnings to create scholarships for people needing mental health and substance abuse treatment nationwide.

Latto Teams With Planned Parenthood And Slams Abortion Opponents

By: Mike Winslow Updated Aug 27, 2022 at 1:19pmCategory: News

Atlanta rap star Latto has teamed up with Planned Parenthood to fight the Supreme Court’s controversial ruling to take away a woman’s Constitutional right to abortion.

The Supreme Court issued the ruling on June 24th in a 6-3 vote to uphold a Mississippi abortion ban and 5-4 to overturn Roe vs. Wade.

Latto’s song “P*SSY” is up for Best New Artist and Video For Good for addressing the ban at the MTV Video Music Awards. She is using the partnership with Planned Parenthood to remind her fans to keep up the fight for abortion rights and access in America.

According to stats, almost 1 in 3 women have lost the right to abortion as states enact bans around the country – including Latto’s hometown of Clayton County, Georgia.

Legislators in Clayton County recently passed H.B. 481, which would criminalize an abortion after six weeks.

“We already know who’s going to be hurt the most by these ridiculous abortion bans: Black women, Brown women, the LGBTQ+ community, and communities with low incomes,” Latto said. “Because of this country’s history of racism and discrimination, these folks already have a hard time getting the health care they need. We all deserve to be safe, and it’s every person’s right to make decisions about their own bodies. As an artist, I want to use my platform to let these politicians know: My body is for no one to control but me.”

Latto just announced she would donate a portion of her earnings generated by “P*SSY” to Planned Parenthood. Caren Spruch, national director, Arts & Entertainment Engagement at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, was happy Latto was stepping up to keep the attention on the issue of a woman’s right to an abortion.

“We’ve been privileged to have the support of many wonderful musical artists who are speaking out about the attacks on abortion. When a prominent artist like Latto uses their platform to amplify the need for reproductive rights for all, it’s a very powerful moment,” Spruch said. “Latto’s voice will do so much to inspire others to use their voices, too, and we are thrilled that she is speaking her truth. In this time of widespread loss of abortion access, the time for us all to speak up is now.”

In addition to being nominated for “P*SSY,” Latto is up for three other MTV Video Music Awards. The VMA’s airs tomorrow (August 28th).

Things got even worse when some people thought they heard the sounds of gunshots. As a result, hundreds of patrons started running towards the exit.

The Notorious B.I.G. Mural Vandalized In Brooklyn

By: Justin Ivey Updated Aug 27, 2022 at 8:30amCategory: News

A mural of The Notorious B.I.G. was defaced in Clinton Hill, the neighborhood where he grew up in Brooklyn.

Vincent Ballentine, the artist who created the mural in 2019, woke up to see his work vandalized. He spoke to CBS New York about what The Notorious B.I.G. mural meant to the Clinton Hill community on Friday (August 26).

“I think the neighborhood really saw it as he was one of ours, and he made it out,” Ballentine said. “And he made something of himself. That’s the story that people hold on to.”

The Notorious B.I.G. mural is located on the wall of a beauty salon. The location became a go-to destination for the Hush Hip Hop Tours.

“This is his stomping ground, everything,” tour guide Johnny Famous told CBS New York. “Biggie means a lot to the whole world, so for somebody to do this, it’s ridiculous. I know there’s a million cameras out here. Somebody saw something.”

Several Clinton Hill residents expressed their disappointment with the vandalism. One of those people was LeRoy McCarthy, who led the movement to get a Brooklyn street renamed in The Notorious B.I.G.’s honor.

“This is unfortunate,” McCarthy said. “A lot of hard work went into putting the artwork up by the artist and also the business owners and the neighborhood really appreciated it. People come from all over the world to come take a picture in front of this mural.”

Police are investigating the vandalism incident. Ballentine plans to fix the Biggie mural.

Kevin Hart Launches Plant-Based Fast Food Restaurant

By: Justin Ivey Updated Aug 26, 2022 at 6:30pmCategory: News

Kevin Hart has entered the fast food business with a restaurant called Hart House.

The comedian opened his plant-based restaurant in Los Angeles on Thursday (August 25). Kevin Hart’s new business offers burgers and sandwiches within the $5-7 price range.

“Our business is in the business of feeling good,” he told Associated Press. “That’s what Kevin Hart is about.”

The restaurant launched with the help of restaurateur Andy Hooper and chef Mike Salem, who was the head of culinary innovation at Burger King. The latter developed Hart House’s menu.

“I say this all the time: ‘Live, love, laugh,’” Kevin Hart said. “Here, we say ‘Eat your hart out.’ People have a curiosity about plant-based food. It’s something I eat. It’s really good. When you look at other restaurants, Hart House is just as good and maybe even better in some respects.”

Kevin Hart hopes to open six more Hart Houses before the end of 2022. Construction is already underway on two other locations in Los Angeles.

“This is a new generation and new way of thinking when it comes to food consumption,” he told the AP. “This is the beginning stages for us. We will continue to get better over time.”

Jay-Z $7 Million Richer After Perfume Company Ordered To Pay Up

By: Justin Ivey Updated Aug 26, 2022 at 5:36pmCategory: News

Jay-Z scored another victory in his legal battle with the Parlux perfume company.

According to the New York Post, a judge ordered the company to pay Jay-Z roughly $7 million in unpaid royalties on Thursday (August 25). Parlux appealed the judge’s ruling.

“We’ve been awarded and will be receiving the money as we should,” Hov’s attorney Alex Spiro told the New York Post.

Parlux sued Jay-Z for breach of contract in 2016. The company sought more than $67 million in damages after accusing him of failing to promote its Gold Jay Z fragrance.

Jay-Z countersued Parlux, claiming the company owed him royalties. Last year, a jury cleared Hov in the breach of contract case. His countersuit was dismissed at the time.

But earlier this year, an appeals court determined Parlux should be on the hook for Jay-Z’s unpaid royalties. Months later, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Andrew Borrok ruled the company must pay $6.78 million to the Roc Nation boss.

Outside of the courtroom, Jay-Z reemerged with a new verse on DJ Khaled’s latest album God Did. Hov appears on the title track, which also features Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, John Legend and Fridayy.

By: Justin Ivey Updated Aug 26, 2022 at 4:58pmCategory: Uncategorized

Boosie had a lot to say when police pulled him over for speeding in Georgia on Friday (August 26).

The outspoken rapper posted a video of the traffic stop on Instagram. The clip showed Boosie rapping on side of a road and offering a job to a cop.

“They got me pulled over again, so I’m finna perform a concert in front of the police,” Boosie said in the video.

Boosie started performing his popular track “Set It Off” before switching to his song “F### the Police.” He also struck up a one-sided conversation with a cop.

“Are we going to jail or not?” he said before flashing his cash. “That’s the question. I don’t know, the money ready. This is pocket change. This is f###### pocket change. If we going to jail, the money is ready. That’s what we need to know. This is pocket change. $30,000 — this is what I keep in my pocket to spend a day.”

Boosie asked about the cop’s salary. He told the officer to come work for him.

“If you ever get tired of working for them, come work for me,” he said. “I’ll pay you double … If you ever tired of this s###, ‘cause you don’t talk much. I like you. So, if you ever get tired of this s###, I will pay you double and get your dick sucked any time you want by Black women.”

Boosie reportedly received citations for speeding and littering. Police found weed in his vehicle but didn’t cite him for it.

Vanessa Bryant Giving $16 million Photo Lawsuit Winnings To Charity

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Aug 26, 2022 at 3:05pmCategory: News

Vanessa Bryant has pledged to donate her $16 million lawsuit winnings to the sports charity named in honor of her late husband and daughter.

Kobe Bryant’s widow won the damages after pursuing legal action against Los Angeles County for the behavior of first responders on the scene of the helicopter crash which killed her husband and 13-year-daughter Gianna in January 2020.

Vanessa filed a complaint claiming first responders had taken and shared photos of the crash scene.

After a trial, a jury ordered Los Angeles County to pay her $16 million as compensation.

Vanessa’s attorney, Luis Li, told the Los Angeles Times on Thursday that her winnings would be donated to the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation.

The foundation, named in honor of Kobe and Gianna, offers sports education to underserved athletes.

Speaking of the case itself, the attorney said, “From the beginning, Vanessa Bryant has sought only accountability, but our legal system does not permit her to force better policies, more training or officer discipline… Those measures are the responsibility of the sheriff’s and fire departments – responsibilities that Mrs. Bryant’s efforts have exposed as woefully deficient, even giving amnesty to the wrongdoers.”

He added that Vanessa hopes her case will stop first responders from taking and sharing photos of accidents and victims, which he called “abhorrent and callous behavior.”

The jury also awarded $15 million to Chris Chester, who lost his wife and daughter in the crash.

Wendy Williams Was Left To Die By “Ex-Manager” And Financial Advisor, Says Former Attorney

By: Mike Winslow Updated Aug 26, 2022 at 1:30pmCategory: News

An attorney representing Wendy Williams has come forward to defend the media personality’s son, who is accused of running up a massive bill on her credit card.

Earlier this week, reports surfaced that Kevin Hunter Jr. spent over $100,000 on Wendy’s personal American Express card before the account was shut down.

The suspicious activity played into Wells Fargo’s decision to freeze Wendy Williams’ accounts as she battled health issues.

According to Wells Fargo, the accounts were suspended due to “financial exploitation, dementia, or undue influence.”

Kevin Hunter denied the allegations and said the allegations were a “false narrative perpetrated to justify freezing her accounts.”

Now, Wendy’s ex-lawyer, LaShawn Thomas, is backing the 22-year-old’s narrative and blames the misinformation on the legendary radio host’s ex-financial advisor.

Thomas claimed Wells Fargo advisor Lori Schiller and Wendy’s old manager Bernie Young were the only people that had access to her accounts, and we’re responsible for denying her access to millions of dollars of her own money.

“No bank should have the authority to do that. No one attempted to gain access to any of Wendy’s accounts. The Wells Fargo advisor and [Young] were the only people with access. They left Wendy to die,” Thomas told the New York Post.

According to Thomas, the 58-year-old was forced to live on her Amex card to survive, and Kevin Hunter Jr was a good son by helping her mentally and physically with the assistance of doctors.

According to Thomas, Kevin Hunter Jr went above and beyond for his mother. He cooked, cleaned, and made sure she made all of her appointments and more.
