Kids can be a bit much at times but some people take discipline way too far. A Memphis teacher locked a 5-year-old girl in a closet and then left the school for the day, reports Associated Press.
The teacher, whose name wasn’t released, has been suspended and the child was not hurt. The teacher wasn’t at the school when police arrived. No charges have been filed but the police are investigating.
This sounds all kinds of shady, even down to how authorities are handling this.
By now we’ve met more than a few colorful rapper mom’s via reality TV but none of them have had their own show just yet. However, it might be worth holding your breath for. This is a rumor that seems to come and go in cycles and it’s back.
There’s a few hip-hop mom’s in the game who are friends and associates–think Bow Wow, T-Pain, Lil Wayne, Lil Scrappy and Waka Flocka. They’re not one big group of friends, it’s more like sub groups of women who are cool with each other. The former three spend most of their time in Miami while the latter two (Momma Dee and Debra Antney) in Atlanta. They’ve all been courted and are still being courted every now and again for a reality show.
Antney is probably the most sought after but she isn’t into the idea. She’ll make an appearance on someone else’s show here or there but her focus really is just the behind-the-scenes business side of things. Some of the other mom’s in the equation are waiting for the right set up because they don’t want to potentially embarrass their sons. The moms mentioned above aren’t the only mother’s in the game who have been approached (hello Mama Jones), they’re just the ones who are most desirable to production houses. Don’t count out the possibility of seeing them on a tube near you, the pitches are still coming in hard body.
My ear is to the ground for this one.

(AllHipHop News) West Coast Hip Hop legend and pop culture icon Snoop Dogg will be able tour in Australia this month. Billboard reports Snoop was granted a work permit despite a women’s organization’s petition calling for him to be denied entry into the country on the grounds that his lyrics “glorify violence against women.”
This is not the first time the group known as Collective Shout has taken aim at a rap artist visiting Australia. In June of 2013, the organization attempted to get Tyler, The Creator’s visa revoked claiming he promoted “hate speech” against women. Other Hip Hop performers have had difficulty entering the country as well. 2 Chainz was denied entry because of pending drug charges in the States.
