Tucked away in the Santa Monica Mountains of Los Angeles County, just below the valley and right above the west side, is Bel Air. The expensive neighborhood boasts a ton of elite Hollywood names as residents, and also has the famed Hotel Bel-Air. Osama bin Laden’s brother, Ibrahim bin Laden, has owned an estate there since the early ’80s. However, according to The New York Post, bin Laden is now selling the home for $28 million.

Ibrahim purchased the Mediterranean-style estate for $1,653,000 in 1983, which would equate to about $5.5 million in 2021 after inflation. Now, he is selling the home for $28 million. Bin Laden has not lived in the mansion since 9/11. At the time, he was vacationing and was scared to return to Los Angeles after the attacks. “Ready for redoing, owner has not been here for over 20 years,” the listing states.

Ibrahim once occupied the property with his ex-wife Christine Hartunian Sinay, a Los Angeles socialite. Ibrahim and Osama are related through their father Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden, who had 56 children with 22 wives. The multi-millionaire family was a powerhouse when it came to business with Al Saud royalty.

Since abandoning the home, bin Laden has rented it out. Infamously, the pink-painted mansion has been used by the porn industry to shoot adult films. Although the home has been abandoned for decades, and only used as adult film rental space, the expensive price tag is said to be based on location and size.

The mansion goes on for a sprawling 7,100 square feet and sits on over 2 acres of land. There are seven bedrooms and five bathrooms with a pool outside. There are no pictures of the interior, because of the abandoned state, but the pool appears to be well kept.

Giving her first interview since the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise, former first lady Martine Moise recently described the events that took place on July 7th at the couple’s private residence.

“The only thing that I saw before they killed him were their boots,” Moïse told the New York Times of the moment President Jovenel Moïse of Haiti was shot dead. “Then I closed my eyes, and I didn’t see anything else.”

Moïse’s elbow was shattered by gunfire and she described being unable to breathe with a mouth full of blood as assassins entered her room. She says she listened closely as the attackers ransacked the room, looking through President Moise’s documents.

“‘That’s not it. That’s not it,’” she says they repeatedly said in Spanish before finally saying: “‘That’s it.’”

As they made their exits, she says, one of them stepped on her feet while another directed a flashlight in her eyes to ensure that she was not still alive.

“When they left, they thought I was dead,” she said.

In the interview, Moïse echoes the same suspicions that Haitians have been stating since the day of the assassination, expecting money paid to the troupe of Colombian mercenaries who carried out the plot to lead back to Haiti’s wealthy oligarchy.

Per certain theories, names like Reginald Boulos and Dimitri Vorbe have surfaced repeatedly with President Moïse’s disruption of their government contracts as a possible motive. While Martine Moïse did not explicitly accuse either man of the assassination, she did mention Boulos’ alleged intention to run for president. She also added that Mr. Boulos’ bank accounts were frozen before President Moïse’s death due to an ongoing investigation, probing whether or not Boulos obtained a preferential loan from the state pension fund. According to her, his bank accounts were immediately released following the assassination.

Since then, Haitian police have made many arrests, including 18 Colombians and several Haitians and Haitian-Americans connected to the plot. Their most recent arrest of Moïse’s head of security, however, continues to fan the flame of an inside job.

The surviving Moïse says that none of the 30-50 security guards typically posted at the home were harmed during the assassination.

“I would like people who did this to be caught, otherwise they will kill every single president who takes power,” she added. “They did it once. They will do it again.”

Currently, Moïse is expected to undergo additional surgery for her arm. Reportedly, she may never be able to use her right arm again. All the while, she has already informed the Times that she is considering a run for presidency to continue her husband’s work.

“President Jovenel had a vision,” she said, “and we Haitians are not going to let that die.”

The ongoing Instagram War continues when it comes to Boosie Badazz. Instagram head Adam Mosseri sat down with The Breakfast Club earlier this week, and explained why Boosie’s page got banned from the platform. “It’s a nudity policy. We try to be clear,” he claimed. “You can appeal but if you have too many strikes, something will happen.” 

Boosie wasn’t feeling that response, and struck back with some choice words of his own. “How the hell my Instagram was took cause of nudity? It was took cause of fucking racism,” he stated. However, Boosie later changed his tone a bit. “You done gave everybody they page back, give me another chance,” he pleaded. “Give me my official Boosie page back with my 10.5 million followers so I can help feed my family some more. Do y’all think about the hurt that you cause people’s families when y’all take they page?”

While on Instagram conversing with fans via the “Ask A Question” widget, Mosseri got hit with the question about Boosie’s ban yet again. He elected to answer that question out of a plethora of choices. The question stated, “why won’t you give Boosie another chance with his main account?”

“The only content we try to take off of Instagram is when there’s safety concerns,” explained Mosseri. “You don’t lose your account or get it suspended until you have a lot of strikes. And at some point, we have to draw the line.”
