Jada Pinkett Smith Admits the Quarantine is Testing her Marriage

Don’t look for Jada Pinkett Smith and WIll Smith to get divorced. Speaking with Drew Barrymore on her daytime talk show, Pinkett Smith said, “We’re staying together forever.”

“I think that one of those next stages in relationships is when you really learn how to accept yourself fully, you really learn how to accept your partner fully as well,” Jada said, according to Decider. “That’s been a journey all in itself.”

Last month, Will Smith surprised Jada Pinkett Smith on her book tour stop in Baltimore. The event was at the Enoch Pratt Free Libary, where the Baltimore Sun delivered details of what was said.

“I just really wanted to come out and just be here and hold it down for you the way you have held it down for me,” Smith said. “We have had a very, very long and tumultuous [relationship]. We call it ‘brutiful.’ It was brutal and beautiful at the same time.”

Will Smith has an official quote regarding various reveals from Jada Pinkett Smith across the media last week. The New York Times quoted the A-list actor in another interview with his wife.

“When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in, and you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties,” Smith said.

Smith added a letter to another appearance of an estranged wife, which will be on the On Purpose podcast hosted by Jay Shetty.

“I applaud and honor you. If I had read this book 30 years ago, I definitely would’ve hugged you more,” Smith wrote. “I’ll start now. Welcome to the Authors Club. I love you endlessly. Now go get some Merlot and take a rest.”

Attorney Says Young Thug's Rap Name Means 'Truly Humbled Under God'

Day two of the YSL Rico trial brought a trending moment as a member of Young Thug’s legal team broke down his rap name.

In a separate moment from court, an attorney dissected Thug’s hit record with Gunna, “Pushin P,” to mean “Pushing Positivity.”

“It means, any circumstance you’re in, if you think positively about something, you can make it through,” the attorney said. “You’re pushing positivity.”

Federal Court Upholds Conviction In C-Murder’s 2009 Homicide Case

by
C Murder 1

A recent report has confirmed that a federal judge has upheld the murder conviction of legendary No Limit rapper Corey Miller aka C-Murder despite two key witnesses recanting their testimony, which they say was not true.

U.S. District Judge Sarah S. Vance denied a habeas corpus petition on November 13 filed by Miller’s attorneys, in which they attempted to overturn the 2009 murder conviction in which Miller was convicted of the January 2002 murder of 16-year-old Steve Thomas at NOLA’s Platinum Club.

Vance was convinced that the recants of the two witnesses were “suspect and not reliable,”upholding the court’s original ruling. Vance stated in her 47-page ruling, that Miller has the difficulty to “put forth clear and convincing evidence of error in the state courts’ findings of fact, which he has failed to do.” 

Miller was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted in 2009 after being tried twice of the 2002 shooting death of Thomas. The 16-year-old was an up-and-coming rapper was shot inside of the club, with security guard Darnell Jordan saying he saw a flash of light come from Miller’s hand, which was presumably a gunshot.

The second witness, Kenneth Jordan, testified that notable attendees of the club were allowed to go around metal detectors at the club and identified C-Murder as the shooter from a photo lineup. Both men’s testimonies were consistent until 2018 when they signed affidavits recanting their statements and accusing police investigators of pressuring them. 

In 2019, a Jefferson Parish judge ruled that the recantations were not credible. 

C-Murder is appealing Vance’s decision to a higher federal court.

The YSL Trial: Attorney Claims YFN Lucci Targeted Young Thug for Beef to Become a Bigger Artist and Make Money

yfn lucci jail

The YSL Rico trial rolled into day two on Tuesday, bringing about an interesting note from Young Thug’s attorney, Brian Steel.

According to court reporter Bryson Paul, Steel dives into Young Thug’s beef with fellow Atlanta rapper YFN Lucci, claiming it started because Lucci needed money.

According to Paul, Lucci’s beef was due to being “broke and trying to attach himself to a bigger artist like thug did @LilTunechi.”

YFN Lucci has chose not to appear in the YSL case as a witness.

DJ Akademiks posted court documents showing Lucci, born Rayshawn Bennett, refused to sign a subpoena to appear in court against YSL defendants.

Lucci and Young Thug have a long-standing beef. Lucci’s attorney Drew Findling spoke to TMZ in December and stated he would not be a part of the YSL RICO case. Findling says Lucci has not been in contact with law enforcement that has any involvement in the current YSL case.

“Any party can announce, for example, that Abraham Lincoln is on their witness list, but those words alone are meaningless. So, to be 100% clear, Rayshawn Bennett (Lucci) will not be a witness in the YSL case,” Findling said.

Like Young Thug, Lucci is currently sitting in jail for a trial involving murder charges. His focus is presently on the Fulton County case.

A Federal Judge Has Upheld Rapper C-Murder’s Murder Conviction

by
C Murder 1

For nearly fourteen years, New Orleans rapper C-Murder has been trying to get his murder conviction overturned. C-Murder has always insisted he was an innocent man and did not commit the crimes he had been accused of committing. Now, according to reports, the conviction has been upheld.

A federal judge has upheld C-Murder’s murder conviction despite recantations by two key witnesses who now claim their testimony implicating the rapper was false.
The Nov. 13 ruling by U.S. District Judge Sarah S. Vance denies a habeas petition by C-Murder’s attorneys, which sought to overturn his 2009 conviction of murdering 16-year-old Steve Thomas.
Thomas was shot and killed at the Platinum Club in New Orleans on the early morning of Jan. 12, 2002.

Vance’s ruling upholds a state court decision, which found that two witnesses’ attempts to recant their testimony were “suspect and not reliable,” given their multiple prior identifications as C-Murder as the shooter.

In her 47-page decision, Vance wrote C-Murder’s had the legal burden to “put forth clear and convincing evidence of error in the state courts’ findings of fact, which he has failed to do.”

C-Murder was tried twice, convicted in 2009, and sentenced to life in prison. Since his conviction, he has enjoyed public support from many notable celebrities, including Kim Kardashian, who Tweeted in August that she was joining the legal efforts to free him from prison.

Kardashian’s public statement cited the witnesses’ changed statements and said she believes he is innocent.

Thomas, an aspiring rapper who had posters of C-Murder and Master P in his room, was shot and killed around 1 a.m. inside the club. A security guard named Darnell Jordan would later testify he saw 15-20 people assaulting Thomas and that he saw a flash from C-Murder’s hand, presumably from a gunshot.

A second witness, Kenneth Jordan, testified that celebrities were allowed to go around metal detectors at the club and identified C-Murder as the shooter from a photo lineup.

Both men’s testimonies were consistent until 2018 when they signed affidavits recanting their identifications and accusing police investigators of pressuring them.
In 2019, a Jefferson Parish judge ruled against C-Murder and found the recantations were not credible.
C-Murder is appealing Vance’s decision to a higher federal court.

Latto is one of the Hip-Hop stars who made the latest edition of the Forbes 30 under 30 list. During her feature story, she recalled The Rap Game launching her to become a household name.

“That was my first launchpad for my career,” Latto said. “But social media wouldn’t have been a thing if I wasn’t putting in that groundwork, like hustling and networking.”

I think that’s what stirs the pot,” Latto said. “Because it’s like, we will all be fans of each other and commenting and following each other, whatever, but then once they get to comparing, they will turn us against each other, which is very weak-minded of us as female rappers.”

She added, “I think we be falling for these traps that they put on female rappers.”

To close out the month, Latto will create a all-women cypher.

Latto is officially a part of the fastest single to hit a billion streams in Spotify history. Latto joined Jung Kook on the “Seven” single earlier this year, which racked up a billion plays faster than any song ever. It only took just over three months.

50 Cent Eyes Revolt Purchase After Diddy Stepped Down as CEO: ‘I’ll Give You a Few Dollars For It Now!’

50 Cent Eyes Revolt Purchase After Diddy Stepped Down as CEO

Diddy has stepped down from his position as CEO of Revolt, which now has 50 Cent inquiring if he could buy the network.

Hitting social media, 50 wrote: “👀I’ll buy that from you play boy , for the low because you know Cadillac and AT&T gonna pull out.”

He added, “I’ll give you a few dollars for it now! Sell it to me, then we can be friends 😳I’m serious call my phone 📱.”

Following three separate lawsuits for sexual assault, Diddy has stepped down from his chairman position at Revolt Network. Combs representatives have confirmed the move to Variety.

Following the announcement, Revolt released a statement on Instagram:

“Sean Combs has stepped down from his position as chairman of Revolt.

While Mr. Combs has previously had no operational or day-to-day role in the business, this decision helps to ensure that Revolt remains steadfastly focused on our mission to create meaningful content for the culture and amplify the voices of all Black people throughout this country and the African diaspora.

Our focus has always been one that reflects out commitment to the colletive journey of REVOLT – one that is not driven by any individual, but by the shared efforts and values of our entire team on behalf of advancing, elevated, and championing our culture – and that continues.”

Most recently, according to TMZ, Diddy was sued by Joi Dickerson-Neal, whom he encountered when she was a student at Syracuse University in 1991.

Dickerson-Neal states Diddy took her out for chicken and waffles at a Harlem restaurant and took her to a recording studio. She stated her legs “felt rubbery,” and she couldn’t stand, believing she got drugged during the meal.

After the studio, she was driven to a house where she was sexually assaulted and the moment was secretly recorded.

She’s suing Diddy under the New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which expired on Thanksgiving. A spokesperson responded to the suit.

“This last-minute lawsuit is an example of how a well-intentioned law can be turned on its head,” the spokesperson said. “Ms. Dickerson’s 32-year-old story is made up and not credible. Mr. Combs never assaulted her and she implicates companies that did not exist. This is purely a money grab and nothing more.”
