Police arrested 21-year-old White male Robert Aaron Long earlier today who admitted to the shootings, though denied that it was racially motivated, per Captain Jay Baker of the Cherokee County Sheriff’s office. Long was arrested several hours after the shootings South of the Atlanta area after a manhunt and this morning, his image was released to the public. 

Long reportedly told police that he had a sex addiction and shot up the spas to eliminate the sexual temptation. Long told investigators that he blames the massage parlors for providing an outlet for his addiction to sex,” a press release stated. Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said that he was heading to Florida after the shootings to possibly commit other crimes. 

The Daily Beast recently published a report revealing that the suspect’s father was a pastor and Long, too, was “big into religion,” according to his former classmate. He was also heavily involved in the Crabapple First Baptist Church where he attended with his family.

We will keep you updated on more information regarding the case. 

Tiffany Haddish is seemingly pretty confused about the headlines connecting her to Nicki Minaj by way of an alleged leaked audio clip that originated from Clubhouse. During the call, Tiffany Haddish was praised as the “Nicki Minaj of comedy”, which prompted her to make some uncalled-for remarks about the rapper. “And unlike Nicki, I treat everyone with respect and dignity,” she allegedly said on the call.

The comedian commented on the brewing feud on Twitter this week, replying “Huh?” to a fan that brought up the audio. While Tiffany may be trying to play dumb and let this blow over, The Real co-host Loni Love is backing her up, co-signing one of the comments she made about The Queen.

“She is correct. Nicki can be a little, you know, not punctual,” said Loni Love during a recent episode of Nightly Pop. “I had her on the show, on The Real, and girl was worth it. She was late. She was about an hour [late]. We had to go buy chicken for her whole crew. It was a demand. It was Popeyes.”

Loni says that she went with the show’s personal assistant to go get the chicken because there was nothing better for her to do as she waited. When she got back, Nicki Minaj was finally ready to go live and she allegedly did a great job. However, all the chicken that Loni went to get was still in her dressing room after she left. The host says she didn’t mind though because she had some of it herself.

It’s not uncommon for certain celebrities to run behind on their schedules. Perhaps her tendency to be late to things left a bad taste in Tiffany Haddish’s mouth?

Boosie Badazz’s strength and resilience have made him an inspiration for many. His journey has found him with his back against the wall on numerous occasions but still managing to prosper with the odds against him. A few years ago, the rapper faced a major health scare when he revealed that he was diagnosed with cancer. Thankfully, he underwent surgery to remove the kidney cancer which was successful.

Despite the success of the surgery, he’s still making annual trips to the doctor to make sure that he continues to be cancer-free. This morning, he took to Instagram where he revealed that he was at his annual cancer check-up, asking fans to keep him in his prayers as he awaits the results. He later shared a video of himself in the waiting room along with other hospital patients who are also waiting to hear from the doctor.

The prayers worked and Boosie has much to celebrate now that he’s officially been deemed cancer-free. The rapper took to Twitter where he shared the results and thanked everyone for helping him keep his spirits high. “IM CANCER FREE #tearofjoy Thanks to everybody [who] said a prayer for me #GODISGREAT,” he said.

It seems like a better time than any to revisit Young Thug and Quavo’s 2016 collaboration, “Fuck Cancer (Boosie).” We’re glad he’s in good health. 

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and Ella Band’s relationship has been on a rather rocky road for the past few months. After the birth of their second child last summer, Ella made some eye-opening comments on Twitter about wanting to be single in February. Soon after that, at the beginning of March, Boogie used his Instagram Story to reveal that he was no longer in a relationship with the mother of his children, although he made it sound like it had been his idea, thus provoking Ella’s ire. 

“As much as I don’t wanna admit it, I don’t deserve @slaybyella_,” he wrote for the world to see in his IG story, “You have a beautiful long life ahead of you and I don’t wanna be the reason you’re not happy. Be free. Go be what you truly want to be.” 

Just moments after the post, Ella wasted no time to let the world know it was actually her idea to breakup. Bands responded to the “Mood Swings” rapper with her own IG story, reposting Boogie’s original message and adding “Lmao we already talked about this in real life and it was my idea. Why he coming on Instagram with it like he setting me free. Boy, go to hell.”

Now, less than a week after all of this broke out over Instagram, A Boogie is seemingly missing Ella already. The New York native shared a boomerang post on Instagram of a Celine hat with the caption, “I’m ballin but I miss her,” subtly but clearly referring to his ex.

Now fans are waiting for Ella’s next move. Will we see the the couple revive their relationship or will Ella clap back, again?
