A 560-pound British man died earlier this year after developing complications from falling out of a chair, reports the Mirror. Samuel Cann, 35, had to quit his job at age 28 because he was becoming housebound due to his increasing size. Cann got more an more sedentary and lived on a bad diet but repeatedly refused medical treatment to deal with his weight.

“Me and Sam often used to have arguments because I always wanted to call for medical help for him. He was housebound so the doctors had to come to us, but he was reluctant to have medical treatment,” Cann’s widow, Jody, told the Mirror. “He was told he was the perfect candidate to have his stomach stapled but he refused to have the operation. He was a very stubborn man.”

Emergency crews were called after Cann slipped from his seat and couldn’t lift himself back up. Paramedics, who discovered pressure sores and ulcers on his body, took him to the hospital where he died from numerous complications six days later.

The cause of death determined to be sepsis due to infected ulcers and sores and obesity.

Doctors said had his weight been addressed effectively, the rest of his medical problems could have subsided.

(AllHipHop News) The rabid fans and supporters of Lil Boosie finally have what they have been publicly clamoring for – a release date.

Boosie is all set to come home on August 18, 2014, according to Nola.com.

The paper was jailed in 2009 for probation violation when he pleaded guilty to marijuana charges.

Some speculated that he would be headed home before the end of 2013, but those dates continuously came and left.

The Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections has listed the adjusted date as well.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Tionna Smalls Producing New Reality Show?

By: Friday Foster Updated Category: Rumors

This rumor stems from a couple of years ago when Tionna Smalls held auditions for what she describes as “boss chicks,” for a reality show she was pitching to various networks. At that time, she was looking at various women in media who were either at the top or climbing to the top.

The show didn’t get picked up but then a few of the women being considered ended up on doing other things on TV including Bravo’s forthcoming show, Blood, Sweat and Heels. Even Smalls went on to have her own show on MTV (Girl Get Your Mind Right).

But the whispers have picked back up and they’re alleging that Smalls doesn’t give up easily and that she’s switching things up a bit to focus on some of Brooklyn’s “it girls” and/or socialites. It’s still a similar concept but since Brooklyn is hot right now I guess it would make sense to make it borough-specific.

Nothing is etched in stone just yet but stay tuned.

A Redding, Calif. man admitted to stealing a truck on Thursday morning so that he could make his court date for an unrelated stolen vehicle case, reports KRCRTV.

It started when a 69-year-old man reported his 1989 Ford Ranger stolen. Eventually, Michael Heller, 21, the suspected thief was found driving the truck. Police said Heller admitted that he stole the truck because he needed a ride to court for an unrelated stolen vehicle case.

Heller was arrested for vehicle theft and possession of a stolen vehicle.

Fail, fail and more fail.

Hip-Hop Rumors: LA Reid Vs Yo Gotti?

This is odd. But, the word on the street is that Yo Gotti and LA Reid are involved in some beef, which is really rooted in business. I didn’t know this, but Yo Gotti has a label called CMG Records. And LA Reid runs Epic Records, which distributes Yo Gotti’s label. I’m assuming Yo Gotti is the main act on CMG. Well, for whatever reason HSK is reporting that there aren’t enough sales for Epic to continue to push CMG out to the people. This relationship just started earlier this year! This is what the source says: “Gotti should have stayed Indy because it’s hard for a major label like Epic Records to brand him. CMG record sales are weak and L.A. Reid is going to drop him.”

Yo Gotti was just on Arsenio. He’ll be fine.

(AllHipHop News) Grand Hustle rapper Trae Tha Truth and cartoonist Jay Sugarman have signed on with WTF Studios to produce ten episodes of their animated series Trae. The new internet program will be similar to The Adventures of Trae Tha Truth that began running on YouTube in 2008. The digital shorts featured cameos from Sway Calloway, Angela Yee, and Mystikal with individual episodes topping over 200,000 views.

“We are very excited to have Trae Tha Truth on WTF?! It’s funny, real, edgy and it reeks of ‘I don’t give a F’, and neither do we,” says WTF Studios co-founder Marlon Wayans. “I think Trae Tha Truth’s audience will follow it to WhatTheFunny and expand from there.”

WhatTheFunny.com was launched by Wayans and Funny or Die co-founder Randy Adams as a comedic site tailored toward African-American, Latino and Asian markets. Trae will be the site’s first animated series. Other content presently on the site include parodies of Beyoncé’s “Grown Woman” and “How The Grinch Stole Christmas.”

Veteran actor Omar Epps serves as an executive producer for Trae. He was the person who introduced the original Adventures of Trae Tha Truth to Wayans.

“Trae Tha Truth’s animated series has the brand of humor which is a perfect fit for Marlon Wayans’ WhatTheFunny digital network,” says Epps. “With Trae’s core demographic being die-hard fans, I’m excited for him to expand his audience through WhatTheFunny’s expansive platform.”
