Boosie Badazz Talks To Reporters About Being Caught In Flash Flood

The weather in certain parts of Louisiana may not be making national headlines, but the storm going on in Baton Rouge and surrounding areas have devastated residents. Rain has been pouring down for days, resulting in a flash flood warning, and it’s unclear what the numbers are right now, but it’s reported that four people were reported dead and another person missing due to the conditions. Homes have been evacuated and a state of emergency has been declared, and as a local news station camped outside of an airport to interview locals about their experiences, reporters happened to run into Boosie Badazz.

Because homes have been flooded, dozens of people have sought shelter in places like airports and hospitals. Boosie is a legend in his hometown and took a bit of time to talk about the destruction going on in his city. “It’s crazy out here. Flooding everywhere,” Boosie told WBRZ. “I’ve been riding in the middle lanes ’cause when you ride in the outside the puddles too big and you can’t see.”

“I like to come home and get the hot weather. I don’t like rain,” he added. Boosie was back in town to “coordinate his daughter’s birthday” and said it messed up some of his plans. “It’s been raining twenty-four hours straight so it kinda messed it up but I was happy to be back here.” And then, in Boosie fashion, he plugged his Boosie Bash that’s apparently set for August 28. 

Check out Boosie’s clip, as well as some videos and images of this storm, below.

Lil Reese Seen Bleeding, Barely Conscious In Post-Shooting Video

As more details regarding the recent shooting involving Lil Reese are revealed, graphic images and videos continue to storm the internet. The rapper’s supporters and loved ones are thankful that he’s alive and well, but this is the second shooting Lil Reese has been a victim of while in his hometown. In the previous case, Reese was reportedly shot in the neck while waiting at a red light, and in this most recent ordeal, he was in a parking lot with two others when they were assaulted by a gunman. 

We previously reported that Reese was allegedly riding in a stolen vehicle when he was located by the car’s owner using various tracking devices. When the 55-year-old man found his vehicle and went to confront those inside, it’s reported that someone else walked up and opened fire. The driver attempted to flee the scene but crashed, and new graphic footage shows Reese on the street, bleeding from his face.

Reese was reportedly shot in the eye and while there have been rumors that he lost his ability to see, that information has yet to be confirmed. The investigation is ongoing and police haven’t yet shared information regarding suspects, arrests, or charges. We’ve included the clip below, but be warned that this is a graphic video that may contain images that disturbs some viewers.

Aubrey O’Day Previously Confirmed Kim Kardashian & Travis Barker Hook Up

A reported post made by Aubrey O’Day last year has resurfaced, and it’s causing a stir among the Kardashian-Jenner crew. In recent months, we’ve witnessed Blink-182 icon Travis Barker pack on the PDA with new girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian. His ex-wife, beauty pageant star Shanna Moakler, has recently suggested that her marriage to Barker came to a screeching halt all those years ago because she found out that Barker was carrying on an affair with Kim Kardashian.

There have been “sources” who have taken to blogs to deny the accusation, but a resurfaced post from Danity Kane singer Aubrey O’Day confirms the information, at least according to her. Last summer, O’Day reportedly shared stories of her best and worst Fourth of July moments and included a tale about Kim.

“I was ‘bffs’ with Kim Kardashian during a fourth. She was hooking up with Travis Barker and we were at his house… he was really dope,” said O’Day. “Shanna his ex (who I love) supposedly was threatening to slash her tires (sorry girl but that was funny s**t, I would have too) so they asked her to park her car somewhere else. We took off and went to some BS celeb Malibu parties where she desired to be photographed, and I had to run around house after house in an uncomfortable dress and high heels to appease that. She got all her photos with celebrities accomplished and we headed back to Calabasas.”

O’Day added that she was “annoyed” because they were on the road when the fireworks were going off. “I obviously would never tell her I was annoyed af, because you’re not allowed to if you want to be ‘bffs’ with her,” she added. Kim did reportedly appease O’Day and pulled over on the side of the road so they could sit in the grass and watch the fireworks light up the sky.

Jake Paul Has Partnered With Showtime For Next Bout, Says Network

There have been plenty of suggestions as to who Jake Paul should take on in the ring next, but we haven’t yet received confirmation. With only three fights, and three wins, under his belt, the YouTuber-turned-professional boxer is riding high on his handful of victories. Jake Paul has become one of the leading voices in the boxing circuit as of late, not due to his wins as much as his mouth, as he continues to poke and prod other celebrities into the ring.

Recently, we watched as Paul snatched Floyd Mayweather’s hat and took attention away from his brother at Logan Paul and Mayweather’s press conference. It’s clear that Jake Paul wants to match up with Floyd for what would be an epic bout, and Deadline reported on Wednesday (May 19) that Showtime confirmed that they’ve inked a deal with the rising boxer.

While Showtime did share confirmation, they were hush-hush when it came to the details. However, Deadline reports that Jake Paul’s advisor, Nakisa Bidarian, opened up to ESPN, stating that they’re in the “advance stage” of locking down a “potential opponent, date and location.”

“Jake is proud of the events he participated in with Triller and appreciates the opportunities they afforded him,” Bidarian told ESPN. “Jake is excited to continue his boxing career with Showtime Boxing. Fight announcement coming soon.” A Showtime deal for a newcomer is a feat of its own, leaving many boxing fans to suggest that the only way he was able to lock it in is because he may be facing off with a seasoned opponent. However, Paul knows the ins and outs of promotion and knows what to do to make the big bucks for promoters.

Aretha Franklin Biopic “Respect,” Starring Jennifer Hudson, Drops Extended Trailer

Aretha Franklin is considered one of the greatest singers of all time. With a career spanning decades, the Queen of Soul has certainly made her mark. A biographical film that chronicles her life has been in development for years, and is finally coming to fruition, soon enough. With two teaser trailers being previously released, the release of a third one gives greater detail to what audiences can expect from Respect, the biopic titled after one of her biggest hits. 

Franklin passed away in 2018, but before she passed, she singled out one performer whom she preferred to portray her in any would-be movie about her life. Discussions concerning the film can be traced all the way back to 2006, when Franklin told Dreamgirls actress Jennifer Hudson that Hudson was the handpicked entertainer by Franklin to lead any future film project that featured her life and career.

The “Freeway of Love” singer got her wish. Jennifer Hudson will star as Franklin in MGM’s movie titled Respect. The Black Nativity actress will depict the Queen of Soul from her early years through her breakthrough in the 1960s.  

The film also stars Audra McDonald as Franklin’s mother and Forest Whittaker as her father. The supporting cast features Mary J. Blige, Marlon Wayans, Tate Donovan, and Tituss Burgess. Skye Dakota Turner will portray the “Who’s Zoomin Who?” singer through her childhood years. Liesl Tommy serves as the director, based on a screenplay from Tracey Scott Wilson. 

While the previously released trailer gave viewers a sneak peak at Hudson performing as Franklin, the newly released, extended trailer gives audiences a deeper look at what to expect from Respect. During the trailer, moments of Franklin’s childhood are displayed. One scene shows Franklin practicing piano with her mother. Another scene shows Franklin performing in her father’s church, with the churchgoers in awe of her talent. 

Respect will be released to theaters August 13th. No news of streaming availability yet, although it is reported that MGM will release streaming rights to Amazon.

2KBaby Is A Menacing Assailant In His Gritty Video For ‘Great White’

2KBaby became a name worth knowing back in 2019 thanks to his breakout single, “Old Streets” — his first and only Gold-certified release and to this day his most popular song. Jump to the present and the Louisville native is back in action with his latest track, “Great White,” for which he recently shared a music video. In it, 2KBaby plays an unforgiving assailant, his gang robbing a man of a large amount of money and taking down a cop who attempts to stop him and his crew in their tracks.

The track is the latest in a string of releases that 2KBaby has shared since he dropped his debut project, Pregame Rituals. G Herbo, YFN Lucci, and Lil Durk lent a hand to the full-length effort, which delivered more of what 2KBaby had to show as an artist. “My music can be therapeutic, it can amp you up, it can make you cry,” the rapper said in a press release. “I’m tryna just make pop sh*t,” adding, “Music that’s gonna sell out stadiums. Global music that can reach everybody.”

You can watch 2KBaby’s video above.

2KBaby is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
