Up-and-coming Charlotte-based rapper Cam Coldheart has reportedly passed away. Sources say the rapper was only 33-years-old. A cause of death has yet to be revealed. The rapper, whose real name was Cameron Henigan, reportedly leaves behind a few children, although it is presently unclear how many kids he had.

His passing is being described as “sudden” by multiple sources. Cam Coldheart was previously known for having a physical altercation at the Louis Vuitton store with rapper DaBaby. The fight, which was later revealed to have allegedly been staged, was supposedly a hoax, said Coldheart last year. “It’s time to tell y’all what really happened. What’s really going on in the Charlotte music scene? It was fake. It was a hoax, n***a. Some parts was real, but it was definitely heavily fabricated after the fact,” he explained.

In the video, Coldheart was knocked out with a bloody nose and his pants were pulled down to his ankles. “That’s Hollywood for you. Everything I said after that sh*t happened, everything on the internet for the past year was for money, you feel me,” added the rapper in a 2020 interview.

We will keep you posted as a cause of death is revealed. Rest in peace, Cam Coldheart.

Kim Kardashian posted a lengthy thank-you statement to President Joe Biden for recognizing the Armenian genocide, a mass murder conducted by the Ottoman Turks that resulted in the death of millions of Armenians from 1915-1917.

“After more than a century of fighting for truth and acknowledgment, today the Armenian people received the recognition we have all been hoping and praying for,” Kim wrote. “I’m so proud of my heritage, proud of the Armenian communities and grateful to President Biden for granting every Armenian this day, and this truth.”

“I will continue to honor and remember those we lost every year on this day, but now with the hope that after recognizing the genocide we will never again allow atrocities of the past to be repeated,” she added. “Thank you President Biden for your courage to speak the truths other chose not to.”

Biden formally recognized the genocide, earlier this week, making him the first U.S. President to do so. The move will undoubtedly hurt the political relationship between the U.S. and Turkey.

Turkish Presidency communications director Fahrettin Altun, according to CNN, said that “the Biden administration’s decision to misportray history out with an eye on domestic political calculations is a true misfortune for Turkey-U.S. relations.”

Daniel Kaluuya won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor at the 93rd Academy Awards for his role in Judas and the Black Messiah, Sunday, and mentioned his parent having sex during his acceptance speech. His family was visibly uncomfortable in the audience.

“My mom, my dad, they had sex, it’s amazing! I’m here,” he remarked while the camera cut to his sister with her head in her hands.

Kaluuya also spoke about Black Panther leader Fred Hampton and his legacy:

What a man. What a man. How blessed we are that we lived in a lifetime where he existed. You know what I mean? Thank you for your light. He was on this earth for 21 years, and he found a way to feed kids breakfast. Educate kids, give free medical care, against all the odds. He showed me, he taught me, him, Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seale, the Black Panther party, they showed me how to love myself, and with that love, they overflowed it to the Black community and other communities.

Earlier in the night, H.E.R. honored Hampton with a performance of “Fight For You,” which was featured in Judas and the Black Messiah.

Judas and the Black Messiah was also nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture.
