The children of well-respected hip-hop legends are opening up a pizzeria in honor of their late fathers. T’yanna Wallace and Tyra Myricks, daughters of, respetively, The Notorious B.I.G. and Jay Master Jay, will open Juicy Pizza in Los Angeles this weekend. The new shop will serve New York-style pizza for residents of the West Coast city starting on Saturday, June 12. The restaurant is of course named after Biggie’s 1994 hit song “Juicy.”
In an Instagram post she shared back in February, Myricks explained, “I realized that L.A. doesn’t have good NY-style pizza, so instead of going on an endless hunt for some, I decided to make some!” Once she decided a New York-style pizzeria was needed in Los Angeles, Myricks reached out to Wallace about the idea, as the two had been friends for quite some time. “The more I thought about how to bring that New York theme to Los Angeles, I felt, ‘Who represents New York more than Biggie Smalls?’” Myricks told Business Insider.
Juicy Pizza sports a menu that includes cheese and pepperoni pizza, oxtail, beef and broccoli, jerk chicken, and chopped cheese egg rolls. The Los Angeles wing of food publication Eater adds that the pizzeria honors New York City with “subway car details and bodega vibes.” It should be noted that when the restaurant opens on June 12 it will be “with dinner hours only.”
Kid Cudi has never been one to shy away from discussing mental health. Back in 2018 the rapper sat down with Jada Pinkett Smith on her Red Table Talk Facebook series to discuss their respective bouts with depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Since then Cudi has remained open about his struggles, as he did on his 2020 album, Man On The Moon III: The Chosen. Now he’s discussing it on social media.
In an Instagram post that was captioned, “God has better days waitin for me. I just know it.” Cudi dove into his mental health. “Sadness eats away at me sometimes,” the text in the post reads. “How do I deal? A lot of u hit me and ask how I get through. Truthfully, idk. Some days are great, others not so great. I just try to believe God has something better for me.” He concluded, “I try to have faith in the light. Please, believe.”
The message during an active year for him. He appeared on Saturday Night Live to perform “Sad People” and “Tequila Shots” as well as to participate in a sketch with the show’s cast members. As for what next, he’s signed on to serve as a headliner for Rolling Loud’s upcoming Los Angeles festival.
George Rivera, the father of late Glee star Naya Rivera, has revealed the tragic details of his last FaceTime call with his daughter, just hours before his grandson, Josey was found alone and Naya was reported missing. Five days later, Naya’s body would be found floating in a remote section of Lake Piru; she had drowned while trying to save her son from the same fate.
On the afternoon of July 8th, 2020, Naya rented a boat when she decided to call her dad to ask about swimming in the lake. George talked about this in conversation recently in a new interview with People, revealing, “She would always bounce stuff off me. And she wanted to go swimming with Josey out in the middle of the lake.” Naya then informed her father that the rented boat had no anchor, “I could see that the wind was blowing and my stomach was just cringing.”
George is an avid boater and when he heard about the boat being anchorless and saw it was windy, he told his daughter not to go swimming. “I kept telling her, ‘Don’t get out of the boat! Don’t get out of the boat! It will drift away when you’re in the water,” however, after about three minutes the call cut out.
“It was just heartbreaking,” added George, “I had this bad feeling that was just killing me.”Rivera was left staring at a screencap he had taken of his daughter in sunglasses and a baseball cap along with the boat’s canopy in the background and the blue sky behind it. “It’s still pretty much a big blur of pain almost a year later,” he continued, “Things are slowly coming a little more into focus, but I don’t know if I’ll ever find closure from this. I miss her every day.”
A Pennsylvania man is facing a slew of serious charges after prosecutors alleged he defrauded Trump supporters. During former President Donald Trump‘s reelection campaign, his dedicated following was more than happy to open their wallets. This type of commitment made room for scammers to swoop in, and authorities believe that Joshua Hall, 22, took advantage of those who believed that they were donating to an organization that would help Trump.
The Washington Post reports that Hall pretended to be several of Trump’s relatives including his brother and his minor son Barron. Hall is said to have created a pro-Trump group that collected thousands of dollars worth of donations that he kept for himself while operating several social media accounts. Robert Trump even retweeted Hall’s account and added that the alleged fraudster had his “complete and total endorsement.”
However, prosecutors stated that the pro-Trump group wasn’t real and it was all a ruse for financial gain. Hall, who describes himself as a “bisexual Trump supporter,” reportedly fed into Trump conspiracy theorists with posts about COVID-19 being a scam and shared several QAnon ideas. “Hall led hundreds of people to believe they were donating to an organization that didn’t exist by pretending to be someone he wasn’t,” said FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge William F. Sweeney Jr.
In an interview with The New York Times, Hall reportedly admitted to the publication that he did pretend to be members of the Trump family through various fake accounts, but he didn’t do anything maliciously. “I was just trying to rally up MAGA supporters and have fun,” Hall reportedly said. He was able to rack up over 100,000 followers online, many of which believed he was truly a Trump ally, especially after launching a “Gay Voices for Trump” group.
“I should have used better judgment and stuff. But I didn’t deliberately try and dupe people out of money,” said Hall. Prosecutors disagree and they claim Hall made repeated pleas for the public to give donations. It’s unclear how much jail time he’s looking at if convicted, but Hall has been arrested and charged with fraud and identity theft.

Over Memorial Day Weekend, the El Mula Banquet Hall in Miami became a frightening site after a deadly ambush took place. Gunfire rang out resulting in the deaths of three people while 23 others were injured. Suspects have yet to be named, but a local rapper named Tigoose managed to avoid getting himself hurt. According to his father, who goes by the name “Goose,” Christopher “Tigoose” Osuna was scheduled to perform at El Mula before the shooting occurred. Tigoose wasn’t injured, but days later, he reportedly died in a fiery car crash.
According to WSVN 7News in Miami, Tigoose was in a vehicle with another person when they collided with an SUV driven by a pregnant mother who was riding with her six children. “My son was in the back seat,” the mother reportedly said. “He just had blood and everything coming from his nose. It was just crazy.”
“There was another car that left the scene,” she added. “That wasn’t just no make a mistake and you get in the wrong lane.” It’s reported that an Infiniti involved in the incident, said to be Tigoose and another person, was seen driving down the road on the wrong side of the road. Following the crash, the vehicle “burst into flames.”
Tigoose’s father reflected on his son avoiding injury in the shooting days prior. “Everyone else got hit but him,” said Goose. “To me, it’s like final destination. It ain’t happened that day but something happened to him another day.” He believes that the third car seen on surveillance footage fleeing the scene is somehow involved.
We send our condolences to Tigoose’s loved ones.

Cancel culture has been the topic of discussion among many creative circles. Some have agreed that it’s necessary while others have believe that it’s infringing on free speech. Last week, Clintn Lord shared his thoughts on how to navigate through cancel culture in 2021 with his latest body of work, Canceled. The five-track project includes production from Green 808, Splurge, and Fantom Beats who played a pivotal role in curating Clintn sound on this project which he described as “sad boy vibes, rager music, and hyper mosh pit type of pop.”
“I was afraid for a while to do a lot of things,” he said in a statement. “I was doing things to get society to accept me and embrace me how I am. I had to accept that they will never accept me. To be unaccepted, you have to accept yourself.”
The Weeknd’s is still winning awards for and setting new records with his 2020 album, After Hours. From nearly sweeping at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards to leaving with an armful of trophies at this year’s Juno Awards, the singer has been a force to reckon with. If that weren’t all, the singer’s continued presence on the Billboard singles chart has also been extremely noteworthy.
“Blinding Lights” recently became the longest-charting solo song in Billboard Hot 100 history after registering its 78th week, passing the previous record-holder, Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours,” to take the crown. Now the song sits behind Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive” and Awolnation’s “Sail” to claim the overall record. The former leads the way with 87 weeks spent on the singles chart while the latter trails behind with 79 weeks.
The After Hours highlight and the album itself controversially failed to land any recognition at this year’s Grammys, but other award shows have honored the record. The track won Top Hot 100 Song, Top Radio Song, and Top R&B Song at last month’s Billboard Music Awards, which also saw him win Top Artist, Top Male Artist, and Top Hot 100 Artist. Elsewhere in 2021, “Blinding Lights” won Song Of The Year, Titanium Song Of The Year, and TikTok Bop Of The Year at the iHeartRadio Music Awards as well as Single Of The Year at the Juno Awards.
