Videos of Musk’s appearance have circulated online.</p><p>“Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for the richest man in the world,” Chappelle said, according to one video shared online by an account that no longer exists as of Monday morning.</p><p>The crowd erupted in cheers, which was quickly overwhelmed with audible cries of “boo!” as Musk, sporting an "I love Twitter" shirt, waved to the arena.</p><p>“Cheers and boos, I see,” Chappelle said as Musk shrugged to the audience.</p><p>“Controversy, buddy. It sounds like some of the people you fired are in the audience,” the comedian said to the laughter of the crowd and Musk.</p><p>Shortly after taking over Twitter, Musk's team announced widespread layoffs at the company in November. He has faced intense scrutiny over his leadership and position over loose content moderation policies.</p><p>“Dave, what should I say?” Musk asked at one point on stage.<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><br /><p></p><div><div>James Yu, who was in the audience, tweeted: “A good 80% of the stadium boos. 18k people. And he withers. Like absolutely turns into a corncob.”</div><div><br /></div><div>Yu noted that Musk didn't say much during his time on stage.</div><div><br /></div><div>"Dave gave him so many chances to speak but he just put his hands in his pockets," Yu wrote. "I actually felt bad for him. I’m by no means an Elon fanboy, more a centrist. I wanted to shake him: for the love of god man, say something and pretend it’s a tweet!!"</div><div><br /></div><div>Musk on Monday shared his recollection of the audience's reaction.</div><div><br /></div><div>"Technically, it was 90% cheers & 10% boos (except during quiet periods), but, still, that’s a lot of boos, which is a first for me in real life (frequent on Twitter). It’s almost as if I’ve offended SF’s unhinged leftists … but nahhh," he tweeted.</div><div><br /></div><div>Chappelle, like Musk, is no stranger to controversy. He faced fierce criticism over his comments about the transgender community in a Netflix special released last year. Hundreds of LGBTQ activists and Netflix workers marched outside the company’s Los Angeles headquarters to protest the special after its release.</div></div>Ceni_Plug 3m360http://www.blogger.com/profile/07326453236342532807noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6287084841996144629.post-91368344276829919072022-12-14T13:34:00.003-08:002022-12-14T13:34:56.834-08:00Megan Thee Stallion tells court that Tory Lanez shot her <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.1ac7eefafa8f52cab9e8b1aafa3a5c04?rik=M4%2blPABRb2XH7w&pid=ImgRaw&r=0" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.1ac7eefafa8f52cab9e8b1aafa3a5c04?rik=M4%2blPABRb2XH7w&pid=ImgRaw&r=0" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Megan Thee Stallion said fellow hip-hop artist Tory Lanez ordered her to "dance" before he shot her feet in 2020 after a party in the Hollywood Hills.</p><p>Megan Thee Stallion, 27, whose real name is Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, took the stand Tuesday, the second day of Lanez's assault trial.</p><p>She testified she felt "shock" and "hurt" and saw blood on her feet after Lanez shot her following a party at Kylie Jenner's home on July 12 of that year, City News Service reported.</p><p>She told jurors that just after she was shot, Lanez offered her $1 million to keep quiet. She testified that Lanez, 30, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, made the offer because he was on probation, according to CNS.</p><p>She said she got back into the vehicle with Lanez and two other people because she was wearing a thong bikini and felt her manager would know what to do if she could contact him. She also testified she didn't know Lanez had a gun that night, the news service reported.</p><p>Police stopped the vehicle and ordered all of the occupants out. Megan Thee Stallion said she told police she had injured her feet on glass when they asked why she was bleeding, according to the news agency.<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>She was taken by ambulance to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and doctors discovered bullet fragments in her feet, she said, which required surgery to remove.</p><p>"I couldn’t walk for a while" she testified. "I still have nerve damage. I can’t really feel the side of my left foot. The back of my feet are always sore, but I just push through it."</p><p>Shortly after the incident, in July 2020, she posted a statement on Instagram saying that she was recovering from being shot and that she wanted to set the record straight about her injuries.</p><p>She wrote that she was injured in a “crime that was ... done with the intention to physically harm me.”</p><p>“I was never arrested, the police officers drove me to the hospital where I underwent surgery to remove the bullet,” she said. “I’m incredibly grateful to be alive and that I’m expected to make a full recovery, but it was important to me to clarify the details about that traumatic night.”</p><p>Los Angeles police initially said Lanez was arrested on a charge of having a concealed weapon in a vehicle, and they did not have information about Megan Thee Stallion’s claims of having been shot.</p><p>In October 2020, Lanez was charged with "assaulting a female friend." Lanez was charged with assault with a semi-automatic firearm and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office said.</p><p>Lanez has pleaded not guilty. If he is convicted, he could face more than 22 years in prison.</p><p>Lanez's attorney, George Mgdesyan, said Monday his client is looking forward to being exonerated.</p><p>"It’s been 2½ years almost. Mr. Peterson has patiently waited for his day for trial. And here we are. I believe once everybody’s heard parts and pieces of the case, once the whole case comes about, I think we’re confident the jury will find my client not guilty and he’ll be exonerated of all the charges," Mgdesyan said.</p><p>Mgdesyan said prosecutors recently added a third charge, discharging a firearm with gross negligence.</p><p>"The third count was a lesser count. So clearly, I think that the people see the weakness in their case, and they’re concerned that the first count, which is the assault, is an intentional act and count three is a negligent discharge, which is an accidental negligent discharge," he said. "So it’s not an intentional act. Clearly, I think that the people have added that because they’re afraid they may lose count one."</p><p>Police say they arrived at a Hollywood Hills residence where gunshots were heard before an SUV left. Megan Thee Stallion’s foot seemed to have been cut by broken glass in the SUV when officers found the vehicle, where a gun was also found.</p><p>Megan Thee Stallion later publicly accused Lanez of having shot her in an Instagram Live video in August 2020. “Yes ... Tory shot me,” she said. “It’s not that I was protecting anybody. I just wasn’t ready to speak.”</p><p>Megan Thee Stallion spoke to Gayle King in April in her first television interview about the alleged shooting.</p><p>She said the incident happened in a car with Lanez, a driver and a friend. As they drove away from the party, an argument escalated, she said, and she stepped out of the vehicle. She said that’s when Lanez began shooting at her.</p><p>The incident occurred in the summer of 2020, while protests continued across the country in reaction to the murder of George Floyd and assaults on other Black people who were injured at the hands of police.</p><p>Megan Thee Stallion said that when helicopters and police cars descended upon the scene, she downplayed her injuries out of fear of law enforcement.</p><p>“I didn’t want them to kill any of us or shoot any of us. So I just said I stepped on glass,” she said. “For some reason, I was just trying to protect all of us, because I didn’t want them to kill us. Even though this person just did this to me, my first reaction still was to try to save us. I didn’t want to see anybody die.</p>Ceni_Plug 3m360http://www.blogger.com/profile/07326453236342532807noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6287084841996144629.post-40085118864063351842022-12-14T13:28:00.003-08:002022-12-14T13:28:30.821-08:00DJ Stephen tWitch Boss Dead At 40<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_fit-560w,f_auto,q_auto:best/rockcms/2022-12/221214-Stephen-tWitch-Boss-al-1020-73c24c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="373" data-original-width="560" height="426" src="https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_fit-560w,f_auto,q_auto:best/rockcms/2022-12/221214-Stephen-tWitch-Boss-al-1020-73c24c.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>DJ Stephen tWitch Boss, who got famous manning the turntables on Ellen Degeneres' talk show, is gone at age 40.</p><p>He was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gun wound yesterday in a Los Angeles hotel room.</p><p>Shortly before his body was discovered, tWitch's wife Allison Hooker ran to a Los Angeles police station and expressed concern because her husband had left the house without his car, which he had never done before.</p><p>Boss began DJing Ellen's show and 2014 and remained until it ended this year.</p><p>He started a career as a dancer and appeared in the Step Up movie franchise.</p><p>He had three young children with Hooker.<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>"It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us," she said.

The rapper’s attorney stated that using his client’s speech and artistry as evidence can be considered a “Constitutional Violation” and “an abuse of discretion.” His attorney argues that Thug’s lyrics are protected under the Constitution.

Summer continues to inch closer and it seems the Hip Hop and R&B worlds have begun to unveil music made to soundtrack BBQs, brunches and sunny afternoons in the park.</p><p>Today’s edition of New Music Friday kicks off with “True Love,” an unexpected collaboration between Kanye West and the late XXXTENTACION. From there we head South to Memphis to check out Moneybagg Yo’s latest single “See Wat I’m Sayin,” his follow-up to the Kodak Black-assisted “Rocky Road.”</p><p>Also included on this list is Summer Anthem Auteur Calvin Harris’s latest single with Young Thug and Dua Lipa titled “Potion,” Sleepy Hallow’s “Die Young” with 347aidan and a fresh track from Kali Uchis.</p><p>It’s Friday: start the preparations for your Memorial Day weekend by slowing down on work and pressing play on any (or all) of these brand new singles</p>

It’s always odd to hear new music from an artist after their death, but it adds another level that the reclusive Ye is featured as well.</div><div><br /></div><div>“True Love” is full of angst, a well-established trend in the music of XXXTENTACION, who was murdered in June of 2018. Kanye, meanwhile, has always been open and vulnerable about his own love life, especially on his dramatic and highly publicized divorce from Kim Kardashian. If anything, “True Love” is a testament to X’s staying power, even four years after his death.</div><div><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div>Moneybagg Yo has been one of the most exciting success stories to come from Memphis in recent memory. Signed to Yo Gotti’s CMG imprint, Yo found a way to smartly navigate the line between records which can achieve commercial success on a large scale and tracks meant for the streets. Through albums such as A Gangsta’s Pain and Time Served, Yo transitioned from a talented street rapper to a national sensation.</div><div><br /></div><div>His most recent single, “See Wat I’m Sayin,” comes on the heels of “Rocky Road” with Kodak Black, a bouncing single which fans are hoping hints at a new full-length project.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>

Jack was chopping it up with his OG's at Hot 97 when it hilariously came out that he didn't realize Ray J and Brandy were actual siblings, sparking yet another cultural debate involving the 24-year-old artist.Late last night, Brandy finally got wind of the conversation -- responding like 2Pac, threatening to out-rap JH, and sing him to sleep. Even though she later admitted she was joking, she copped to not knowing Jack was a rapper.</p><span><a name='more'></a></span><p><br /></p><p>Seeing as how Jack has the No. 1 song in the country -- "First Class" -- we can't figure out with Brandy diss is harsher ... the shot at his rapping, or the ol' "I don't know you."Just imagine someone asking if Brandy was a singer when her "The Boy Is Mine" duet with Monica was ruling the charts? Yeah, total burn.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jack did some burning of his response ... posting an IG story Tuesday with a pic of Brandy and Ray J while using her own lyrics from her 2005 Kanye West collaboration "Bring Me Down" off the album "Late Registration" against her.Released in 2005 on the album "Late Registration," the song came out when Jack was 7 years old ... proving he's at least up on hip hop history. Or someone gave him a heads-up.</p>

In attendance at Rough Trade East that evening was Kendrick, his engineer (Derek Ali), and a bunch of twenty-something Londoners who knew all the words to “Cartoons and Cereal”.</p><p></p><p>We were among the first people to experience the intoxicating euphoria of the words “Ya Bish” in a live setting. But everyone there also felt protective of Kendrick and most of the people in the queue said something caring to the artist when their turn came around.</p><p>“Never bro!” Kendrick eventually replied in a soft-spoken drawl, scribbling his signature onto my CD. “I’ll always do me.” As I walked away smiling, I heard a female fan loudly compare the Californian’s studio debut to Illmatic. Everyone in that room was high off the idea they had just shared air with an ascendent Rap God and – despite having no real right to do so – I think we treated the meeting like we were lovingly talking to a relative about their future on graduation day.</p><p>Ten years later and Kendrick’s fifth studio album, Mr. Morale And The Big Steppers, is driven by torching this God Complex (“The cat is out the bag, I am not the savior!” he proclaims with purpose) altogether, melting through the flesh to reveal the complicated sinner underneath. The combination of barely-there creeping bass, twitchy tribal drums, and off-kilter keys on opener “United In Grief” are deconstructed elements of a song, offering no obvious harmonic continuity. The music and rapper appear to unravel together. <span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>Here, Kendrick talks about doing therapy to deal with the roots of a toxic sex addiction. On “Worldwide Steppers”, he shares guilt for cheating with a “white bitch” on tour in Copenhagen, wondering how far the shame of his Black ancestors and long-term partner Whitney Allford might extend. </p><p>The sprawling “Auntie Diaries” recalls flagrant adolescent use of a homophobic slur. It’s an ignorant mindset Kendrick says he finally outgrew after a transgender family member pointed out the contradiction: “Faggot, faggot, faggot, we can say it together / but only if you let a white girl say ni**a”. The song deserves credit for proving people can outgrow regressive views without being defined by retrospective shame. </p><p>Just like Kanye West throwing alleged abuser Marilyn Manson on a song about the brittleness of cancel culture (“Jail”), Kendrick is trying to start a dialogue about the need for forgiveness (he has previously defended the expression of another alleged abuser, the late generational talent XXXTentacion) and redemption. But I also wonder what Kodak’s young female victim will feel about her male abuser being elevated to three guest spots on the biggest rap album of the year? Kendrick’s shrug of the shoulder, “I can’t please everybody” style defense, ultimately feels like a cop-out, and it will be interesting to see whether critics are prepared to give him the pass they refused to give the similarly free-thinking, but flawed Donda. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is an imperfect record about the risks of putting your faith in false idols, carefully crafted by a generational great no longer concerned with being worshipped as a Saintly role model (“Sorry, I didn’t save the world, my friend / I was busy building mine again” are lines that speak volumes). It is someone experiencing a comedown from fame in real-time, and the first Kendrick Lamar album in a while that doesn’t feel like an instant classic. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yet by reveling in his imperfections, and sharing controversial sentiments that will divide public opinion, Kendrick sounds more relatable than ever before. Making mistakes is crucial to personal growth, and Kendrick no longer sounds afraid of the ramifications of making them, whether that means facing down consequences of a personal or musical nature. Being seen as a God means nothing if you can’t stomach the reflection of the man in the mirror or breakthrough “generational curses”, and by excavating his deepest, darkest secrets and regrets, Kendrick knows that the process of healing can finally begin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mr. Morale And The Big Steppers is out nowIt’s a stunning open dialogue, but Kendrick also messily gets things off his chest at the expense of conventional song structure. The familiarity of trap drums is replaced with discordant synths, and it feels like you’re invading another person’s cognitive behavioral therapy session, which isn’t always an easy experience. Kendrick should be applauded for making the biggest major label rap album of the year feel like a distinctly un-mainstream event.</p><p>To understand why Kendrick Lamar would want to dismantle his own mythology, we must look backward. Studio debut Good kid mirrored 1993 film Menace II Society, with raw cinematic storytelling that humanised the have-nots (“We’re trying to conquer the city with disobedience” was their battle cry) and forced the white capitalists to experience the violent inner cities they’d greedily signed off on. With three-dimensional songs like “The Art Of Peer Pressure” and “Sing Of Me (I’m Dying of Thirst)”, Kendrick made the listener complicit in everything good and bad that occurred in Compton, California, achieving the tricky balance of being both the preacher and the mosh pit anarchist (“Backseat Freestyle”).</p><p>In the years that followed this landmark release, Kendrick rarely tired of pushing musical boundaries. He utilised the scattershot approach of experimental jazz to peel back the layers of the Black subconscious on the masterful To Pimp A Butterfly (2015) and untitled unmastered (2016), with lavishly funky songs that conflated the rush of sex with a hyperviolent, Nate Turner-style insurrection. </p><p>This genre-blending music could be heavier than moonwalking in quicksand (“Mortal Man”, “u”), but it never forgot its responsibility to make the people dance (“King Kunta”), lighting the fires of the Black Lives Matter movement with a collective assurance that things would be alright in the end. By 2017, DAMN rubber-stamped the Kendrick Lamar brand among white, middle-class hipsters. It introduced the world to the Sage-like alter ego of Kung Fu Kenny, creating a clan of angry Fox News adversaries and winning a coveted Pulitzer Prize that solidified hip hop in the minds of European academics.</p><p><br /></p>Ceni_Plug 3m360http://www.blogger.com/profile/07326453236342532807noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6287084841996144629.post-45740890906521326342022-05-17T10:26:00.002-07:002022-05-17T10:26:25.150-07:00Lil Keed Complained Of Stomach Pain Days Before Dying<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgG8SVvkseViAbHcnzb6nai5fv4Z74e0JcY8riFWgUQi5rN7ZciCdfqHrdzeYBKQjfrCD0t826ws_OajSewwJIJANW8-UkY-KRg4rV4S1P0hvmyRs9lt5_gCyQ8l4N-dVe5UxYrDEyryvB3sRdS3tdOeGecl7xxBB2_R_25roPhIyAKSY15hSKbHbMH" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgG8SVvkseViAbHcnzb6nai5fv4Z74e0JcY8riFWgUQi5rN7ZciCdfqHrdzeYBKQjfrCD0t826ws_OajSewwJIJANW8-UkY-KRg4rV4S1P0hvmyRs9lt5_gCyQ8l4N-dVe5UxYrDEyryvB3sRdS3tdOeGecl7xxBB2_R_25roPhIyAKSY15hSKbHbMH" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>the late rapper Lil Keed had complained to his inner circle about having pain in his stomach days before his unfortunate demise.

According to court documents obtained by XXL, the man alleges that the assault happened because he attempted to stop the North Carolina rapper from shooting a music video on his rental property because he exceeded the guest limit of 12 people, which violated the terms of the lease and COVID-19 restrictions.<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>Pagar claims in his suit that he had been told the “Rockstar” artist had been repeatedly violating the lease agreement during his week-long stay, so he decided to check the property out on Dec. 2.

According to court documents from Beverly Hills Police, Kerrion was arrested around 7:30 a.m. PT on Sunday, April 10. He was allegedly driving a car belonging to a woman who was reported missing and is presumed to be dead. A gun was also discovered in the automobile, but the 33-year-old insists the firearm isn’t his and that he has no connection to the woman in question.</p><p>Larry Reid of Larry Reid Live—an Atlanta-based entertainment news talk show—reported that Kerrion was “wrongfully detained” and was initially stopped by local authorities because of his taillight. However, it appeared the arrest stemmed from charges filed in Texas, but Kerrion feels the charges were piled on after officers claimed he resisted arrest.</p><p>Kerrion spoke to Reid from jail. “I’m just keeping my mind positive. I really do aim to live a righteous lifestyle, all of this is unnecessary. I just want you guys to keep me in your prayers,” said Kerrion according to Reid.<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>When it comes to the alleged murder victim, Kerrion believes she isn’t dead.“I don’t think that’s true because I’ve met the woman who sold me the car,” he stated, explaining that he owned the car for over a year.</p><p>Kerrion and Kirk’s relationship reportedly became strained after Kerrion came out as bisexual. During an episode of Bad Boys: Los Angeles, Kerrion was forced to disclose that he was bisexual by a heterosexual castmate.</p><p>Last March, a phone conversation between him and his father was leaked, sending social media into a frenzy as fans of the gospel legend had never seen or heard that side of him. As it stands, “my father is not in my life. Period,” said Kerrion during the aforementioned jailhouse call as relayed by Reid.</p><p>Court documents also suggest that the 34-year-old was provided a permanent housing location in the jail and is scheduled to face a judge later this week. The 16-time Grammy Award-winning gospel singer has not released a statement regarding his son’s arrest.</p>Ceni_Plug 3m360http://www.blogger.com/profile/07326453236342532807noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6287084841996144629.post-2188611477879610412022-05-01T03:44:00.000-07:002022-05-01T03:44:48.719-07:00Hot 97 Announces Summer Jam 2022 Lineup<div class="separator"><p style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEibaD8pFEZ0TRQXxr_hHgRK5zHeeikCrM3jQZFt_K6P1A-nA24aMV8M3UknK7AM7xDXwVZ3Ur-9OdXJ8sYnnkgXGUqSk77LMtRUnlhbqyasTYjQktgm0yyxg_t-7Gx01xhLMuAUFJzEOsaVMM6hO9UyJ4qvxdG6aRbKNwdfaCBSwv-awbcNG6NJtASq" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="1024" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEibaD8pFEZ0TRQXxr_hHgRK5zHeeikCrM3jQZFt_K6P1A-nA24aMV8M3UknK7AM7xDXwVZ3Ur-9OdXJ8sYnnkgXGUqSk77LMtRUnlhbqyasTYjQktgm0yyxg_t-7Gx01xhLMuAUFJzEOsaVMM6hO9UyJ4qvxdG6aRbKNwdfaCBSwv-awbcNG6NJtASq=w640-h360" width="640" /></a></div><br /> <p></p></div><p>New York City radio station Hot 97 announced the lineup for its annual Summer Jam concert which will include many of the hottest stars in Hip-Hop.

The unnamed victim alleged the rapper shot at him three or four times, and believed one of the bullets had grazed his left hand.</p><p> Rocky was released at 3.27pm PT after posting bail.<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>LAPD Public Information Officer Lee told the outlet: “Yes, he was released."</p><p>The Los Angeles Police Department has since issued a statement, which confirmed Robbery-Homicide Division Detectives had arrested Rocky for an alleged assault with a deadly weapon.</p><p>It read: “On November 6, 2021, around 10:15 p.m., an argument between two acquaintances occurred in the area of Selma Avenue and Argyle Avenue, in the Hollywood Area. The argument escalated and resulted in the suspect firing a handgun at the victim.</p><p>“The victim sustained a minor injury from the incident and later sought his medical treatment. Following the shooting, the suspect and two additional males fled the area on foot.”</p><p>Rocky had been in Barbados with his pregnant girlfriend Rihanna but it is unclear if the 'Diamonds' hitmaker was with him when he returned to the US from his vacation before he was arrested.</p><p>The couple's relationship has been under scrutiny in recent weeks following allegations the rapper had been unfaithful with Amina Muaddi.</p><p>However, Amina has slammed the speculation as "vile".</p><p>She wrote on Instagram earlier this month: "I've always believed that an unfounded lie spread on social media doesn't deserve any response or clarification, especially one that is so vile. I initially assumed that this fake gossip - fabricated with such malicious intent - would not be taken seriously. However, in the last 24h I've been reminded that we live in a society that is so quick to speak on topics regardless of factual basis and that nothing is off limits. Not even during what should be one of the most beautiful and celebrated time's in one's life"The shoe designer went on to show "respect and affection" for both Rihanna and Rocky, who she has worked with before.</p><p>Amina added: "Therefore I have to speak up as this is not only directed towards me but it is related to people I have a great amount of respect and affection for. While Rih is continuing to live her serene, best dressed pregnancy life and I go back to my business</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Ceni_Plug 3m360http://www.blogger.com/profile/07326453236342532807noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6287084841996144629.post-65641407627389832632022-03-28T09:31:00.000-07:002022-03-28T09:31:27.395-07:00Rapper Baby Cino Shot And Killed Minutes After Release From Prison<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8KkXaZLuBTZyw21YYtHWtuzTmZBWf3uTFG7wjI9dNlAA-2__-euErNeHxANSLwdOoN56b63fowFBE0PO2Sz4g-LdmtJW01rEf8AUkIELIm_Fxkuxzs-IQKRNh-ZMW4tjddoilSmIAw7VQLoFR7rC6Hcupo_YgL8CI352AREkNsg1lgiX8oqvCISA7/s309/cino.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="180" data-original-width="309" height="373" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8KkXaZLuBTZyw21YYtHWtuzTmZBWf3uTFG7wjI9dNlAA-2__-euErNeHxANSLwdOoN56b63fowFBE0PO2Sz4g-LdmtJW01rEf8AUkIELIm_Fxkuxzs-IQKRNh-ZMW4tjddoilSmIAw7VQLoFR7rC6Hcupo_YgL8CI352AREkNsg1lgiX8oqvCISA7/w640-h373/cino.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div><p>Miami rapper Baby Cino was shot and killed less than an hour after being released from prison, according to reports. The 20-year-old born Timothy Starks was released from the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami-Dade County last Wednesday (March 16) after posting bond. He is said to have been picked up from the prison in a red Nissan vehicle, which was sprayed with gunfire while turning onto the Palmetto Expressway.<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>Both Starks and the vehicle’s driver, Dante Collins Banks, were wounded in the process. Starks was pronounced dead on the scene as a result of his injuries. Banks was airlifted to a hospital in the area and is said to be in stable condition according to his mother, who spoke with her son following the shooting. “My son was okay,” she told WPLG. “He was talking. He was just shook up because his friend got shot.”</p><p>Detectives say that at least 40 shots were fired during the shooting, with a “dark-colored vehicle” being seen fleeing the scene. Baby Cino was a promising rapper out of South Florida who had recently released visuals for some of his latest singles. In January, he dropped the music video for his “Big Haiti Shottas” track, following that up with the release of the “Prolly Was Me (WamSpinThaBin Remix)” music video last month, both of which you can check out below.</p><p><br /><br /></p>Ceni_Plug 3m360http://www.blogger.com/profile/07326453236342532807noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6287084841996144629.post-34348559327157427662022-03-28T01:47:00.002-07:002022-03-28T08:17:00.986-07:00Oscars Winners 2022: the Complete List<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg8qWVlqFHdNw36kvuBXRLF0m_U3v5IAf9w10stE92KtocFB03rGO-NJLAGYliwrBNsvOy5r8eAOMPJ-DqL1BATPJQjxfBYV0JGVYZtFqf1Eu1su_7ZpJr6z2eUsiGs-88OGiT6EX0K_kvF2vXjtSVtdWmLEsJhWfbGHdplrdvo_U4_bsTYE6Syf6R3" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg8qWVlqFHdNw36kvuBXRLF0m_U3v5IAf9w10stE92KtocFB03rGO-NJLAGYliwrBNsvOy5r8eAOMPJ-DqL1BATPJQjxfBYV0JGVYZtFqf1Eu1su_7ZpJr6z2eUsiGs-88OGiT6EX0K_kvF2vXjtSVtdWmLEsJhWfbGHdplrdvo_U4_bsTYE6Syf6R3" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Best Picture</span></b></p><p>BELFAST</p><p>Laura Berwick, Kenneth Branagh, Becca Kovacik and Tamar Thomas, Producers</p><p><br /></p><p>CODA - WINNER!</p><p>Philippe Rousselet, Fabrice Gianfermi and Patrick Wachsberger, Producers</p><p><br /></p><p>DON'T LOOK UP</p><p>Adam McKay and Kevin Messick, Producers</p><p><br /></p><p>DRIVE MY CAR</p><p>Teruhisa Yamamoto, Producer</p><p><br /></p><p>DUNE</p><p>Mary Parent, Denis Villeneuve and Cale Boyter, Producers</p><p><br /></p><p>KING RICHARD</p><p>Tim White, Trevor White and Will Smith, Producers</p><p><br /></p><p>LICORICE PIZZA</p><p>Sara Murphy, Adam Somner and Paul Thomas Anderson, Producers</p><p><br /></p><p>NIGHTMARE ALLEY</p><p>Guillermo del Toro, J.

Cole Drake and Kanye West just to name a few. As 2022 kicks off, we look to hearing from some artists whom we haven’t heard from in a while as well as some artists who we look forward to keep the consistent releases coming.</p><p>2022 will mark five years since Kendrick Lamar’s last album DAMN. Kendrick has been relatively quiet since the release of that album, but in 2021 he turned up the heat a bit as he made a guest appearance on his cousin Baby Keem’s album The Melodic Blue. Additionally in 2021, Kendrick announced via his social media that his next album would be his last as he looks to move forward to pgLang. Kendrick Lamar is apart of this year’s Super Bowl halftime show, so it will be interesting to see if he will drop some new music on the world and begin an album rollout.</p><span><a name='more'></a></span><p><br /></p><p>A$AP Rocky</p><p>The Harlem MC has been living the good life with Rihanna as of late, but word has got out that Rocky has been working on an album that was last reported to be close to be being complete. Rocky’s latest release was 2018’s TESTING, which received mixed reviews by critics. A$AP Rocky showed he can still rip up a mic as he made a guest appearance on Nas and Hit-boy’s Magic album in December, so perhaps Rocky is ready to come back stronger than ever in 2022.</p><p>THE GAME</p><p>Just when we thought he retired—he’s coming right back. Game’s stated that his latest album Born 2 Rap (2019) would in fact be his last as he looked towards retirement. Now it looks as though Game is coming out of retirement as he recently posted a series of pics on Instagram with the hashtag #albummode, as well as some new flicks with Kanye West. The Compton MC even posted that he has a track with Hit-boy on the way. Game always delivers with the bars, so it will be interesting to see what content he will bring at this stage in his career. </p><p>Listen to the latest hip-hop songs from Txl</p><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="580" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed?uri=spotify%3Aplaylist%3A5yri2eKt8tspmmGCU2sHRJ" style="border-radius: 12px;" width="500"></iframe><p></p>Ceni_Plug 3m360http://www.blogger.com/profile/07326453236342532807noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6287084841996144629.post-26212358566256004092022-02-05T15:10:00.002-08:002022-02-05T15:10:12.773-08:00‘Tinder Swindler’ Con Artist ‘Simon Leviev’ Banned From Dating App<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEir61n9CfOXYBhjHbFBkSBtCtyZnsvBVAk0CfPZmmNMYhF-6b5r9E7rd2OBvQSXeG_wrhK3gFiwyJWE21IF96_48U-mcNbGeE1E_4CM-rjGENFkStdTd930UAEZj06m2bRsevAQ35sNPRPw9gAlo08mNIx-rvEH2lnS2Bi00ws37JqHJmAq9kgKp9wL" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="314" data-original-width="474" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEir61n9CfOXYBhjHbFBkSBtCtyZnsvBVAk0CfPZmmNMYhF-6b5r9E7rd2OBvQSXeG_wrhK3gFiwyJWE21IF96_48U-mcNbGeE1E_4CM-rjGENFkStdTd930UAEZj06m2bRsevAQ35sNPRPw9gAlo08mNIx-rvEH2lnS2Bi00ws37JqHJmAq9kgKp9wL=w640-h424" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p></p><p>The con man investigated in Netflix’s new documentary “The Tinder Swindler” has been banned from the dating app. Shimon Hayut allegedly met women on Tinder before swindling them for millions of dollars after catfishing them into believing his name was “Simon Leviev” and that he was the son of Israeli diamond tycoon Lev Leviev.</p><p>“We have conducted internal investigations and can confirm Simon Leviev is no longer active on Tinder under any of his known aliases,” Tinder said in a statement to Variety on Friday.</p><p>When the doc was released on Wednesday on Netflix, it reported that Hayut was still active on Tinder.</p><p>While Tinder has now banned him, he still has an account on Instagram with more than 200,000 followers.
