DJ Vlad GoFundMe Seeking $500K For Boosie Badazz’s 2024 Interviews, Less Than $50 Raised So Far

by

Boosie Badazz still makes music. However, at this point in his career, the Southern lyricist is better known for his commentary on pop culture events, criminal antics, and family drama. He’s currently feuding with his mother and brother over a legal battle – not to mention his long-running spat with Yung Bleu. The multi-talent was arrested earlier this year while attending YNW Melly’s first double murder trial and has since been on (mostly) good behaviour while maintaining his status in the industry.

Earlier this month, Boosie went to New York to appear on The Breakfast Club. During his chat with Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy, we heard the 41-year-old discuss a good friend of his, Vlad Lyubovy, who often invites him on VladTV to discuss current events, among other things. According to Boosie, he makes $500K annually for sitting down with the blogger, and now that the news is out, Vlad has resorted to making a GoFundMe to help him collect the funds to pay his rapper pal for 2024.

DJ Vlad Has Jokes After Boosie Badazz Exposes Him

“Now that Boosie told ‘TBC’ that we pay him him $500K/year to be on ‘VladTV,’ all of our other regular guests want the same amount too so we can’t afford to keep our lights on,” he quipped on Twitter yesterday (November 13). “We had no choice but to start a GoFundMe to avoid going out of business. Even $1 would help during a time like this,” Vlad pleaded. At the time of publication, a total of $49 has come in to pay Boosie for his 2024 commentary. There’s still a long way to go, but seeing as it’s the Baton Rouge-born artist’s birthday, fans are all the more likely to be feeling generous.

If what Boosie Badazz said about his VladTV checks is true, it’s no wonder he’s got no problem offering out a huge cash prize to the fan who finds his ankle monitor charger. Earlier this month, the Louisana native said he’d give $5,000 to anyone who can help him avoid trouble with the law by finding his missing electronic device.

Beyonce Was Nowhere To Be Found At Jay-Z’s Fundraising Casino Event, Here Is Why

by

Over the weekend, Jay-Z put together a star-studded party for a big cause. The event was held at the Ocean Resort Casino in Atlantic City and it was to help fundraise for criminal justice reform. Along with Hov, Meek Mill, Michael Rubin, and the REFORM Alliance assisted in the planning. Every A-lister you could think of was in attendance. People from music, to sports, Hollywood, etc., were dressed in all black for the James Bond-like theme. Additionally, Beyonce was also busy this weekend.

Kevin Hart was the host and there were also some big-time performances. Travis Scott, Lil Baby, Quavo, and more rocked the stage. But, as we mentioned, there was one obvious superstar missing from the festivities. According to PageSix, Beyonce joined Jay on the way to the event but stayed back from actually participating.

Why Was Beyonce Not In Attendance?

For an incredible cause, you would certainly think that she would be by her husband’s side. However, there was a good reason for Queen Bey to miss out. In addition to supporting Jay-Z, she also wrapped up her Renaissance World Tour in Kansas City on Sunday evening, October 1. Presumably, the event lasted well into the late night, so it makes sense for Beyonce to get some much-needed rest.

What are your initial thoughts on Beyonce not being a part of Jay-Z’s casino party for fundraising criminal justice? Do you think some people are going to make a big deal about this? If you were Jay-Z would you be upset or understanding of Beyonce? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all the latest breaking news around Beyonce, Jay-Z, and the rest of the music world.

GoFundMe Takes Down Fake Damar Hamlin Fundraisers

GoFundMe is taking down numerous fake fundraisers for Damar Hamlin. The Buffalo Bills safety suffered cardiac arrest during the team’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals after collapsing on the field.

According to TMZ, the company is taking down all fraudulent GoFundMe campaigns for Hamlin as they go live.

They also confirmed that there is only one genuine fundraiser organized by the family. That campaign has raised over $6.5 million as of Wednesday afternoon.

“This fundraiser was initially established to support a toy drive for Damar’s community, sponsored by the Chasing M’s Foundation. However, it has received renewed support in light of Damar’s current battle and we can’t thank all of you enough. Your generosity and compassion mean the world to us,” a message on the campaign page reads.

It continues: “If you would like to show your support and contribute to Damar’s community initiatives and his current fight, this is the place to do so. This is the only current fund that is being used by the Hamlin Family.”

Damar Hamlin remains at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. On Wednesday, the Bills confirmed that he will remain under intensive care. They also announced that he has shown “signs of improvement” since Monday night.

The NFL has also announced that the game between the Bills and Bengals will not resume this week. Play was stopped after Hamlin’s injury, which occurred midway through the first quarter. The league remains undecided as to whether to the game at a later date.
