Love was in the air during Valentine’s Day weekend as people celebrated the holiday of love, yet Yella Beezy found himself on the wrong side of the law. The Dallas rapper, real name Markies Conway, was questioned by police in his hometown after they claim that they noticed Beezy’s vehicle had window tinted too dark. He pulled out of a strip mall and according to a recently released arrest warrant affidavit, Beezy failed to make a complete stop at a nearby intersection.

According to a report made by Dallas News, Yella Beezy was the only person in his vehicle during the traffic stop. The rapper was reportedly asked to roll down his window to speak with authorities and it was then that he told them that he couldn’t because his car windows were bulletproof. Beezy exited the vehicle and when police ran a check on his name, they found that he was a documented gang member and the affidavit states that an officer could see a firearm out in the open.

Not only was Beezy’s vehicle searched, but officers at the scene called in a drug-sniffing dog that allegedly showed that it had identified some trace of substance in the car. A search reportedly uncovered the guns listed below, and according to the report, Beezy admitted to owning the weapons. Because he’s a documented gang member with authorities, he’s reportedly not allowed to have handguns in his vehicle.

A Beretta PMX containing 19 rounds of ammunition. The gun had been reported stolen in Frisco.
An FN Herstal Five-Seven that had 21 rounds of ammunition.
A Sig Sauer P365 with 11 rounds of ammunition.
A Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard that had six rounds of ammunition.
A Springfield Armory Saint AR-15 pistol with a 54-round drum of ammunition. The gun had a wrist-brace that made it possible to fire the weapon with one hand.

In response, TMZ reports Beezy’s team alleged that the guns were registered, also reportedly stating that they believe the entire incident was a set-up.

Last year was a big one for the Nike Air Max 90 as it marked the 30th anniversary of the iconic sneaker. As a result of this birthday, Nike came through with a ton of new colorways of the sneaker, all while bringing back some retros. Despite now being in 2021, it seems like the Beaverton brand wants to keep the fun going, and now, they are about to drop an OG Air Max 90 colorway, this time in the “Hot Coral” model.

This is a colorway that was originally a women’s exclusive, but with this new retro, it feels like Nike is making them available to everyone. As for the colorway itself, we have a white upper, with a silver mudguard along the side. From there, we have a red Nike swoosh, all while a nice shade of blue is found on the laces, midsole, and even the back heel. Overall, it’s a unique model that will work to perfection during the spring and summer months.

For now, the shoe is set to release on March 6th for $140 USD, so be on the lookout at your local sneaker store. In the meantime, let us know in the comments below whether or not you plan on adding these to your collection.

We haven’t received Bobby Shmurda’s “First Day Out” track, but we’ve witnessed a few of his celebrations with friends. Quavo and the crew hopped a private jet to pick up Shmurda as soon as he was freed from prison. The “Hot N*gga” rapper served just over six years of his seven-year sentence—and sentence that he agreed to in order for his good friend Rowdy Rebel to receive time. In his first 24 hours, GQ magazine was on the scene to speak with Shmurda for his first post-prison interview, and it’s clear that while the music industry is still an interest for the rapper, he has his eyes set on expanding his business moves in real estate and other investments.

In the interview, Shmurda revealed that he spent time in solitary confinement and during his stint, Quavo was as supportive as he could be, offering advice however he could. Shmurda said he spent his time immersed in law books. “I only want to talk about real estate now. Ask anybody. [This morning] I said, ‘Quavo—real estate!’ and he’s like, ‘Chill, you just got out.’ They made me a monster now,” Bobby said. Then, he turned serious.

“You’re like an animal in a f*cking cage. And you’re mentally a monster. Physically a monster. Spiritually a monster. They aren’t going to know what to do with you,” he added. “I know what y’all like. I know what y’all don’t like. Y’all don’t like to see young, Black rich n*ggas. So I’m going to get real rich on y’all. I’m going to make it legit, though. They want to see you n*ggas back selling crack. You know what I mean? Going to jail and sh*t. And I’m going to make it legit now.”

Bobby also shared that he’d spoken with the late Nipsey Hussle about getting actively involved in real estate and other ventures, as well. “I only had four or five conversations with cousin.”  Shmurda claimed that his last conversation with Nipsey occurred just one month before he was gunned down in front of his Marathon Clothing store in Los Angeles. “His mind was different. He was saying all the things we were going to do when I got out.”

Her body recovery has been an expensive, years-long process, and along the way, K. Michelle has regularly shared updates on her journey. The singer and reality star has been on a quest to restoring her physique after receiving butt injections that she claims put her life in danger. Due to multiple painful surgeries, K. Michelle has been left with areas that may look abnormal to some, and during a recent Instagram Live, viewers caught a glimpse of what looked to be sagging in her backside.

K. Michelle came forward to explain the viral clip. “What u saw in the video was a happy woman with a faja and my extra fat!” she stated. “I’ve been very open so I can heal ladies. I didn’t have to tell anybody and I could’ve covered up until the process was done, but NO. Ladies need to see and hear the truth. I decided to use my platform to help.”

The singer’s shape caught national attention and soon, Wendy Williams was weighing in on her talk show, but with an additional revelation that stunned viewers. There was a time years ago when actor Idris Elba and K. Michelle were reportedly dating and according to Wendy, there was an incident between the couple when K. Michelle’s injections began leaking.

“Because I guess it took a little while for them to squish down and she said, ‘Oh my gosh, what is this on my underwear? What is this gooey’—I don’t know that’s what she said but I can only imagine the tragedy of the situation. Leaving silicone on Idris Elba’s sheets. I love that story, that they were romantical at one point.”

People were quick to call Wendy’s remarks shady. Check out her clip below.

Bronny James has been making quite the name for himself over the past couple of years thanks to his talents in the High School ranks. Bronny has specifically played for Sierra Canyon, where he can typically be found playing in front of his father, LeBron. As a Sophomore, the 16-year-old was gearing up for an exciting season although the Coronavirus has put a damper on the season, which has led to significantly fewer games being played.

During a recent Livestream on Twitch, Bronny came forward and admitted that he actually tore his Meniscus, which has been another reason why he isn’t on the court. Now, in a report from the Los Angeles Daily News, it has been revealed that Bronny actually received surgery on the Meniscus, and will have to miss up to three months of basketball action.

Injuries have always been a common part of sports so this Meniscus tear shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. While it is a setback, his father knows all about dealing with injuries, and we’re sure LeBron will help instill some of that wisdom throughout the upcoming months. 

Following his recovery, Bronny will be entering an interesting time in his young career as he looks to secure scholarships to big schools. While there are no guarantees, many fans are excited to see where his career goes from here.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are currently in the midst of a highly-publicized divorce and as it stands, there is a lot of money at stake here. Of course, the couple also has four children together, which also lends itself to a more disputed divorce. Despite this, it seems as though both Kim and Kanye are more than happy to co-parent and they are both aware of how much they will both impact their childrens’ lives.

In fact, according to PEOPLE, Kanye has been spending a ton of quality time with his four kids, as he wants to show he is still there for them, amid the divorce. For now, Kim has been absent from these sessions, which is what Kanye specifically asked for. While the two have a different philosophy for raising kids, they are still making the best out of an unfortunate situation.

“Kanye has been spending time with all the kids,” the source said. “A nanny is around during the visits. Kim has not been around for the visits, at Kanye’s request. Kim has made it clear that Kanye can talk to his children anytime he wants. She has never threatened to keep him from the kids. She only requires that he is not going to damage them. She knows he loves them, and they love him. Kanye can FaceTime the kids anytime he wants.”

While this is extremely difficult for all of the parties here, it’s good to see Kanye spending a good amount of time with his family during rough times. The artist has been through a lot these past few years, and family time should do him wonders.

Since the tragic death of King Von last November, Asian Da Brat has received her fair share of controversy and got into some pretty heated exchanges regarding the late Chicago rapper. Yet despite enduring such a trying past slew of months following Von’s passing, Asian Doll has experienced a new burst of support as of late. She’s recently been riding the success of her fan-favorite single “Nunnadet Sh*t,” but of course, popularity almost always comes with hate.

Apparently, Asian Doll has been receiving backlash from fans regarding the lack of love that she shows her hometown, but according to the former 1017 Records artist revealed that it’s actually the other way around. Taking to Twitter, Asian Doll blasted the lack of support that she has received from Dallas, writing, “Dallas don’t support me & never did I’ll have all my Shit in Atl if I want too tf.”

Just like Jack Harlow, Lil Durk, and several artists who have moved to Atlanta, Asian Doll has experienced massive support since moving to Georgia’s state capital, and in her tweet, she makes it clear that she has an intense appreciation for everything that Atlanta has done for her. Do you think Asian Doll should still put on for her hometown or should she simply show love to the cities that show love to her?

Lady Gaga’s dog walker Ryan Fischer went through an incredibly traumatic experience on Wednesday night as he was shot in the chest while out with the singer’s three French bulldogs. As the story goes, two men in a white sedan pulled up to Fischer and immediately got out with guns drawn. They demanded that Fischer give up the dogs and when Fischer refused, one of the men shot him in the chest and stole two of the three pups.

The two dogs are named Koji and Gustav and as it stands, Lady Gaga is offering $500,000 for the dogs to be returned to her care. According to TMZ, surveillance footage that caught the incident on tape has now been released to the public as authorities try and figure out who these men could be.

Fischer was immediately brought to the hospital following the shooting and is expected to be okay. As for the investigation, no suspects have been found at this juncture, although they are hoping this new footage will shed some light on who these perpetrators were and what their motivations were.

The singer is currently in Rome and in the meantime, she has been communicating with her team back home to bring justice to her dog walker, while also getting her beloved dogs back.
