BREAKING: The Husband and Stepdaughter Arrested For Killing Good Samaritan Woman Initially Believed To Be Killed By a Panhandler!😒
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The husband and stepdaughter of Jacquelyn Smith, the woman killed after her husband said she was murdered while giving out money to a panhandler from her car window, have been arrested for her death, police said Sunday in a press conference.
Mayor Pugh releases a statement Sunday saying the City and BPD have learned Jacquelyn Smith was killed by family members, in a “staged brutal killing,”
“Like everyone in our city, state and across this nation, we mourned the senseless killing of Jacquelyn Smith. To now learn that family members staged this brutal killing is beyond belief and represents a double tragedy. They were responsible for taking Jacquelyn’s life with unconscionable cruelty and contrived to do so in our city under the guise of random violence, exploiting the legitimate fears of our residents. I commend our homicide detectives for their expert and tireless work in bringing those truly responsible to justice in this very troubling and sad case.
Keith Smith, Jacquelyn’s husband, and Valeria Smith, her stepdaughter, were arrested by Texas state police in Harlingen, near the Mexican border while trying to leave the country, acting Baltimore police commissioner said.
Warrants charging them with first-degree murder were issued Sunday, Harrison said.
Jacquelyn Smith, 54, an engineer at Aberdeen Proving Ground, was stabbed to death at North Valley and East Chase streets about 12:30 a.m. on Dec. 1, police said.
Smith’s husband claimed she was stabbed while she was helping a panhandler.
Her husband and his daughter spoke at a news conference at the scene days after the stabbing, saying it had been a man who approached after she had rolled down her window to hand money to a woman allegedly begging in the rain with a baby.
“Snatched her necklace, and before I knew it, the girl snatched the little pocketbook from the seat and they both ran,” Keith added. “I jumped out the car to run, but I heard my wife screaming, so I came back to the car.”
Police had previously said they believe she was giving cash to a woman asking for money to feed her baby, when a man approached the car window, pulled out a knife, stabbed her in the chest, and robbed her.
Smith’s friends told WJZ’s Devin Bartolotta the day after her murder they didn’t believe the story, and thought her husband had killed her.
Acting commissioner Michael Harrison said in this case, people took advantage of Baltimore.
“The information and the evidence points to it was not a panhandler, and people should still take caution and use due diligence when doing anything like that anywhere they are in America, but it points to the fact that it was not a panhandler and that the circumstances were very different and people took advantage of Baltimore, and what we want to make sure is that the truth comes out and justice is served,”
There is no word on when the two suspects will be extradited.
Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby said she was disappointed that the two suspects had tried to take advantage of the city.
“I’m disappointed that the two alleged suspects attempted to take advantage of negative perceptions of our city. I’m grateful for the collaborative efforts of my prosecutors and the Baltimore Police Department in getting to the bottom of a contrived and disturbing tragedy. We look forward to fighting for justice on behalf of Jacquelyn Smith and her family in a court of law,” Mosby said.
A Salute to 5 Powerful Women: Jennifer Lopez, Donatella Versace, Kate Moss, Taraji P. Henson, and Jessica Chastain for W Magazine!
W's March 2017 cover stars Donatella Versace, Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Lopez, Taraji P. Henson, and Kate Moss come from diverse backgrounds but share the drive to “own” who they are, and to advocate for women in their respective professions.
Tarji P. Henson proves that age truly ain’t nothing but a number as she dominates the latest cover of W Magazine. As if Taraji P. Henson on one magazine cover wasn’t enough, the issue actually includes a total of 5 cover stars. Joining J. Lo and Cookie is fashion priestess Donatella Versace legendary supermodel Kate Moss, and award winning actress Jessica Chastain. Lensed by fashion wonder boys Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott and styled by Fashion Director, Edward Enninful, this is one insanely hot cover story.
On the cover, the 5 women pose in a powerful group portrait styled in sexy all black Versace looks. Inside the issue each woman gets her own time in front of the camera.
Taraji P. Henson channels her inner Cookie Lyon for her images. Styled in a black Lanvin mini-dress, Henson smolders in a glamorous beauty image. The scene is cinematic. A real parallel to to the life of 47 year-old Taraji P. Henson today who group up in a rough part of Washington D.C. The Hidden Figures actress also opens up and discusses everything from being a single mother to being considered a late bloomer. “This is the life I always saw for myself,” she says. “You have to see yourself inside the dream, you know? Why you gonna do something to fail? No, baby, that ain’t me! I always wanted to be one of the big dogs,” she adds.
Henson also comments on the current conditions for black women in film. “I don’t know. It’s been great for me! I own six properties, I’m out of the hood, and my son don’t know the hood.” she reflects. “Now, have they put all the zeroes on my check that I deserve? That’s the question, but not even for me because I don’t write the checks. I just keep working hard, knowing it will come.” she continues.
#RHoA: Shade: Kandi Burruss Says Phaedra Parks Should Be Downgraded
Kandi Burruss was a co-host on The Real on Friday and while she was there, she used the opportunity to throw major shade at Phaedra Parks. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star claims that Phaedra doesn’t deserve to hold a peach anymore. Burruss charged that Parks has no storyline, no husband, and not even a boyfriend and that she should be listed as a friend of the cast rather than a full cast member.
It all started when Jeannie Mai pulled up some tea from the comments section of Kandi Burruss’ Facebook. Underneath a preview for an upcoming RHOA episode that Kandi posted, someone wrote a comment that said, “So over Kandi and her rude behavior. She doing anything for a paycheck and keep using Phaedra name as a storyline.”
Jeannie asked Kandi if she wanted to “hit reply” on that comment and naturally, Kandi offered up a comment. She wanted to let the RHOA fan who shaded her know that she doesn’t have to film the Bravo hit in order to collect a check. Kandi then suggested that anyone questioning her net worth do a quick google search on her to verify that she has multiple checks coming in and she does.
Don’t forget that Kandi Burruss was a successful recording artist and songwriter long before joining the RHOA cast. Not only did she sing alongside Tiny Harris in Xscape, but she also penned hits for superstars like Beyonce, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Pink, and more.
After reminding everyone watching The Real that she is wealthy without the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kandi went on to question why and how she would use Phaedra for a storyline. It can be assumed that they meant all the drama Kandi has been dealing with over the Porsha Williams kiss and the alleged affair with her friend Shamea Morton. It’s no secret that Porsha and Phaedra are best buds, having earned the nickname “Frick and Frack.” Due to that, Phaedra has also spent the season taking shots at Kandi after all the drama so it’s actually safer to say that Phaedra might be using Kandi for a storyline.
“I don’t see a boyfriend, I don’t see any work getting done. I don’t see nothing. I saw one charity event, but other than that, it’s like a friend of the show at this point.”
It looks like Phaedra Parks and Porsha Williams have been giving Kandi Burruss a hard time all season on Real Housewives of Atlanta, but that doesn’t stop her from taking a few jabs as well.
Aside from beefing with Kandi Burruss on Season 9 of RHOA, Phaedra Parks has been dealing with the fallout from divorcing Apollo Nida and some of that is supposed to play out on the show as well. To beef up Phaedra’s anemic story, Bravo producers brought in Apollo’s new fiance, Sherien Almufti. There was even a bit of drama with Almufti when her ex started complaining about her pulling their child out of school to go film in Atlanta with the RHOA camera crews. He also voiced his anger over Sherien taking their daughter to prison to visit with Apollo Nida.
It seems that if Phaedra Parks did want to add a little energy to her storyline, now that her divorce from Apollo Nida is final, she needs to go find a new man. The Kandi Burruss lesbian affair drama is played out and it really does look like she is using Kandi for ratings rather than sharing her own life.
Do you agree with Kandi Burruss?

CHILE….Your thoughts?
Keshia Knight Pulliam Says A Hospital Worker Mistook Her As A Mother In Need After Giving Birth
Recently we all learned that actress Keshia Knight Pulliam gave birth to her baby girl Ella Grace.
The actress talked about her labor and delivery experience during a new episode of her podcast “Kandidly Keisha.”
According to E News, while speaking about her experience, she talked about how a lactation specialist had mistaken her for a mother that was in need after giving birth to her baby girl.
She said, “Bless this old little lady’s heart. This old little white lady…she’s like about 70 years old.”
Keshia pointed out that the specialist handed her a pamphlet, which is a part of the hospitals standard procedure for new mothers. However, she said that the specialist turned to a certain page that listed about 30 different numbers and resources for mothers.
Keshia felt offended when the specialist said, “Yes we have some great programs that you may want to take advantage of that you may need. Um, WIC is a great program. I don’t know if you have insurance.”
Keshia then continued, “So I guess she saw this little black girl with the little baby by herself and on the door, I didn’t realize that they’d put like a faux last name and the last name was Brown. So I guess she saw ‘Miss Brown’ and was like, She probably needs some WIC.'”
She then stopped the lady and let her know that she has excellent insurance.
“I get it, it’s about showing the services that are offered. And I probably wouldn’t have been offended had she [pointed out] several of the services [and not just] WIC and the fact that ‘if you don’t have insurance,” said Pulliam.
Needless to say, her doula was also on hand following the delivery and requested another lactation specialist, after she claims the first specialist didn’t want to touch her to show her how to properly breastfeed her baby.
Martellus Bennett Says He Will Not Visit The White House To Celebrate The Patriots Victory
Patriots fans are still celebrating after the team quickly turned the game around, taking home the winning title.
We all know that all teams who win the Super Bowl will get the chance to visit the White House to celebrate with the sitting president. However, one player who does not plan on attending is Martellus Bennett.
According to The Huffington Post, Bennett said during a post game interview, “I’m not going to go.”
When asked why he wouldn’t make the visit with his team, he said, “It is what it is. People know how I feel about it. Just follow me on Twitter.” Last week he tweeted, “America was built on inclusiveness not exclusiveness.”
The teams owner, Robert Kraft, the head coach Bill Belichick and star quarterback Tom Brady have been known to be friendly with Donald Trump in the past. Nonetheless, Bennett said he is, “not really worried about that.”
He also talked about not bringing politics into the locker room as well, but he was more interested in celebrating his teams Super Bowl win.

LeBron James is considered one of the greatest athletes of his generation. James’ NBA career began as a Cleveland Cavalier when he was drafted out of high school by his hometown team with the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft. In 2010, James joined the Miami Heat where he led the team to four straight NBA Finals appearances that included back-to-back NBA Championships in 2012 and 2013. In 2012, James led the United States to a gold medal at the summer Olympics in London, his second gold medal as a member of Team USA. In 2014, the four-time NBA MVP returned home to join the Cleveland Cavaliers in pursuit of a bigger mission in the region that raised him.

Following his team’s unprecedented comeback in the NBA Finals, James was named the NBA Finals MVP for the third time in his career.
Throughout his career, James has made charitable efforts a priority namely through the LeBron James Family Foundation (LJFF). Founded by James in 2004, the program strives to positively affect the lives of children and young adults through education and co-curricular educational initiatives. In 2011, the Foundation began working on the high school dropout crisis facing LeBron’s hometown community and launched its “Wheels for Education” program, which has since expanded with the “Akron I PROMISE Network.” These initiatives support inner-city students with the programs, support, and mentors they need all the way through graduation. In partnership with The University of Akron, James has guaranteed college educations for thousands of Akron Public School students that complete the Foundation’s programs and meet certain academic and philanthropic criteria. Through these efforts, James has used his influence to move an entire community to rally around the youth in Akron and help them achieve their dreams through education.
Coupled with his success on the court, James’ diverse business portfolio of innovative endorsements and authentic investments has established him as one of the most popular figures in the world. Adding to his off-the-court portfolio, James continues to increase his influence in the entertainment industry through his production company, SpringHill Entertainment. Named after the public housing complex where James grew up in Akron, Ohio, SpringHill Entertainment is an entertainment and content company that develops creative content across a variety of platforms including digital, documentary and feature films, and scripted and unscripted TV.

BREAKING NEWS: A Mass Shooting has taken place at a Gay Nightclub "PULSE' in Orlando Florida!
A shooting inside a downtown Orlando, Fla., nightclub led to mass casualties, according to the police, who said that at least one gunman had been found dead inside. UPDATE At 11:45AM (EST) it's been declared that 50 are DEAD and 53 are INJURED making this so the worst mass shooting in US History. The suspect behind the gay nightclub shooting in Orlando, which left dozens dead and injured, has been identified as 29-year-old US citizen Omar Mateen, born to Afghan parents, US media reported. The CBS network added that the FBI is currently checking whether he was linked to extremists.
A correspondent from the WFTV channel said Mateen was 27 years old and was from Port St. Lucie in Florida, nearly 150km from Orlando. CBS news reported, citing law enforcement, that Mateen was 29.
According to reports on social media, he was born to Afghan parents.
Photos, allegedly of Mateen, have been circulating on social media since US media named him as the possible suspect behind the slaughter.
The shooting was reported at about 3 a.m., after last call at Pulse, one of the largest gay nightspots in the Central Florida city.
On its Twitter feed, the Police Department asked residents to “stay away from area” and said that it was seeking support from local state and federal agencies.
The club itself posted a message on its Facebook page about 3 a.m.: “Everyone get out of pulse and keep running.”
Customers streamed out of the club into a chaotic situation with little idea of where to go. “Cops were saying, ‘Go, go, clear the area,’ ” Christopher Hansen told an Orlando television station. “You don’t know who’s what and who’s where.”
Police swept inside the club and about 5 a.m. set off a “controlled explosion” in an effort to clear the club, the department said in its Twitter feed. A news conference scheduled for 4:30 a.m. was canceled.
Phone camera videos shot at the scene show police cars, ambulances and other emergency vehicles outside the club on South Orange Avenue in downtown Orlando. Streets around the the club were shut down for several blocks.
Many of the wounded were taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center, about three blocks from the club, which was placed on lockdown after receiving several gunshot victims. “Only essential workers are being allowed access into the building,” the hospital said in a statement.
“Out of an abundance of caution, Arnold Palmer Hospital and Winnie Palmer Hospital have also been placed on lockdown.” the statement added.
Local television stations broadcast interviews with people outside the club and the Orlando Regional Medical Center, about three blocks away from the club, anxiously waiting to hear from people who they said were still inside.
WKMG and WESH broadcast interviews with the crowds milling outside the hospital. One woman said she rushed to the area after she got a call from her daughter, who said, “Please come get us and come get us now.”
The club, which calls itself “Orlando’s Latin Hotspot,” hosts an “Upscale Latin Saturdays” party on Saturday night with three DJs and a midnight show.
MY GOODNESS! Pray for the families of the fallen in this senseless tragedy!
Floyd Mayweather Witnessed Earl Hayes Stephanie Moseley Muder-Suicide!

According to TMZ, Earl’s good friend Floyd Mayweather witnessed the rapper kill his wife Stephanie Moseley and then himself via Facetime.
Sources tell us …rapper Earl Hayes called Floyd on FaceTime Monday morning in a rage, over claims his wife — VH1 star Stephanie Moseley — had been unfaithful.

Robert DeNiro Covers Aspen Peak Magazine Holiday 2014: “People Treat Me With A Bit Too Much Reverence”
He truly is one of acting’s living legends and Robert De Niro has landed on the cover of the Holiday 2014 issue of Aspen Peak magazine.
The “Meet the Parents” star, who rarely gives interviews, explained that it’s a little strange constantly hearing that he’s one of the greatest actors of our time.
“People treat me with a bit too much reverence. Look at Dustin Hoffman. I always envy the way he can speak and be smart and funny and so on. I just can’t do that.”
DeNiro also weighed in on the death of Robin Williams- “When you get old you look back at those things, the times, the good experiences you had and you realize that they’re forever gone. I’m very saddened by what happened to Robin. Very sad. His death brought back all the good old times that are no more.”
Additionally, Robert hopes a certain former First Lady runs for President in the next election- “If Hillary [Clinton] runs in 2016, she has my vote. I’ll get behind her. I know she has paid her dues. I have trust in her. She has the experience and ability to make an excellent leader.”
'Law & Order' actress Michelle Hurd joins list of Bill Cosby accusers
Actress Michelle Hurd, best-known for her role on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” is the latest woman to publicly accuse Bill Cosby of sexually inappropriate behavior.
Hurd said the alleged incidents occurred when she was an extra on the landmark "The Cosby Show" decades ago. She posted her accusations on her Facebook page:
LOOK, I wasn't going to say anything, but I can't believe some of the things i've been reading, SO here is MY personal experience: I did stand-in work on The Cosby show back in the day and YES, Bill Cosby was VERY inappropriate with me. It started innocently, lunch in his dressing room, daily, then onto weird acting exercises were he would move his hands up and down my body, (can't believe I fell for that) I was instructed to NEVER tell anyone what we did together, (he said other actors would become jealous) and then fortunately, I dodged the ultimate bullet with him when he asked me to come to his house, take a shower so we could blow dry my hair and see what it looked like straightened. At that point my own red flags went off and I told him, “No, I'll just come to work tomorrow with my hair straightened”.
I then started to take notice and found another actress, a stand-in as well, and we started talking….. A LOT …. turns out he was doing the same thing to her, almost by the numbers, BUT, she did go to his house and because I will not name her, and it is her story to tell, all I'll say is she awoke, after being drugged, vomited, and then Cosby told her there's a cab waiting for you outside.
I have ABSOLUTELY no reason to lie or make up this up!
Anyone that knows me, knows that!
Now you have a first hand account of my experience with Mr. Cosby.
Off you go…Hurd, 47, is a graduate of Boston University. She co-starred on the daytime soap opera "Another World" for six years and had roles in eight motion pictures. She has also appeared on three dozen prime time TV series, including reoccurring roles on "E.R.," "90210" and "Gossip Girl."
Ten other women have publicly accused Cosby of improper sexual behavior:
Kristina Ruehli of New Hampshire told Philadelphia magazine that Cosby attempted to force her to have oral sex with him in 1965 when she was a 22-year-old secretary at a talent agency.
Renita Chaney Hill, told Pittsburgh's CBS affiliate that she had a four-year relationship with the comedian when she was a teenage model in the 1980s.
Actress Angela Leslie told the New York Daily News on Friday that the comedian plied her with alcohol, may have tried to drug her, and forced her to fondle him in a Las Vegas hotel suite in 1992.
Registered nurse Therese Serignese recounted her tale of an alleged rape in Las Vegas in 1976 to Huffington Post on Thursday.
Carla Ferrigno, the wife of actor and bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno, claimed Cosby forcibly kissed her at his home in 1967. on Thursday.
Former supermodel Janice Dickinson told Entertainment Tonight earlier this week that she had been assaulted by Cosby in 1982.
Tamara Green, a lawyer who claims to have been assaulted by Cosby in the 1970s and spoke out in 2005, wrote an op-ed piece about Cosby on Wednesday for Entertainment Tonight.
Joan Tarshis, former publicist and journalist, told Hollywood Elsewhere on Sunday that she was drugged and assaulted by the comedian in 1969.
Barbara Bowman, an Arizona artist and mother of two, told the Washington Post last week that Cosby drugged and raped her in 1985. She had first gone public with her story in 2005.
Andrea Constand, a former director of operations at Temple University, settled a civil suit in 2006 with Cosby over an alleged incident two years.
Cosby, who makes his home Shelburne, has never been criminally charged in any sexual assault case.
His lawyer, Martin Singer, has branded previous accusations as ridiculous and long discredited, adding that the five-time Emmy-winner has been the victim of a "media-driven feeding frenzy."
"This situation is an unprecedented example of the media's breakneck rush to run stories without any corroboration or adherence to traditional journalistic standards. Over and over again, we have refuted these new unsubstantiated stories with documentary evidence, only to have a new uncorroborated story crop up out of the woodwork. When will it end? It is long past time for this media vilification of Mr. Cosby to stop," Singer said in a statement released on Friday.
Speaking on Friday to Florida Today, Cosby defended his silence on the allegations.
"I know people are tired of me not saying anything, but a guy doesn't have to answer to innuendos," he said. "People should fact check. People shouldn't have to go through that and shouldn't answer to innuendos."
Philly Rap Legend Cool C To Be Executed In January 2015
Pennsylvania governor Tom Corbett has signed a death warrant for Philadelphia rapper Cool C. Born Christopher Roney, the “Glamorous Life” rapper has been jailed since being convicted of shooting and killing a police officer during a bank robbery in Philly in 1996.
The Times Leader reports that Corbett signed the execution warrant on Friday (Nov. 21).
YourErie.com has a breakdown of the attempted bank robbery that led to a police officer’s murder:
Roney, now 44, was found guilty of first-degree murder, among other charges, by a jury on October 30, 1996, and the jury returned a death verdict on November 1, 1996 in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas.
On January 2, 1996, at approximately 8:20 a.m., Roney along with two others, Ernest Canty and Warren McGlone, attempted to rob a PNC Bank at 4710 Rising Sun Avenue in Philadelphia. As the assistant manager arrived for work, Canty grabbed her and the bank manager and forced them into the bank at gunpoint. Moments later, Roney grabbed the head teller of the bank as she arrived.
Police were notified of the robbery attempt by a nearby business and Officer Lauretha Vaird, a nine-year veteran with the police department, was the first officer to arrive on scene. As she entered the bank in uniform, Roney fired a fatal shot into her abdomen. As additional officers arrived, the men fled the scene.
Based upon eyewitness statements and identifications, Roney was arrested and charged with the murder of Officer Vaird. His accomplices were arrested and subsequently confessed to their participation in the robbery.
McGlone is fellow OG Philly rapper Steady B, who is currently serving a life sentence for his involvement.
Currently incarcerated at the State Correctional Institution at Greene in Pennsylvania, Roney’s execution is scheduled for Jan. 8, 2015.
American Music Awards Red Carpet 2014 Was Glamorous And Over The Top!
The American Music Awards took over Los Angeles on Sunday, and unsurprisingly it was outrageous.
Fergie arrived on a psychedelic tour bus, Jordin Sparks looked like a lost member of The Supremes in a bronze sequin gown and Meghan Trainor carried her brother's inhaler in her lip-shaped purse. We're still waiting to see if Taylor Swift can manage to top her amazing look from last year, and are keeping our fingers crossed for a Beyoncé sighting. Take a Look
But we think it's safe to say the AMAs glam is in full force.

Diddy’s Bad Boy label ran the rap game in the 90s to early 2000s. And last night, a special concert was held to bring back some of the hottest Bad Boy acts to the stage. Kima, Keisha & Pam?! Yep…that happened.
R&B trio Total reunited for an epic performance at the Legends of Bad Boy Records concert in Beverly Hills last night. The first girl group on Bad Boy Records rocked the stage with some of their timeless hits such as “Kissing You”, "Sitting Here" and “Can’t You See”, taking us back down memory lane.
Yasss! Just like old times.
These days, the ladies still have a foot in the music industry. Back in February, Kim and Pam hit the stage in London for a show on Valentine’s Day. And last year, Pam released a gospel single with her husband titled Sweet Thang. She’s also currently working on a solo album entitled Undeniable. Hmm…is there a reunion album in the works? We hope so!
Bad Boy's First Lady Faith Evans caught up with Keisha Epps (who's married to Omar Epps) backstage.
Then Faith hit the stage in a cute red printed number to belt out a few of her hits. Looking good Faith!
After partying it up with Fabolous for his 90s Flow birthday bash, Mase hopped on the mic to drop a few verses. From Harlem World to Beverly Hills.
And in a rare appearance, Carl Thomas serenaded the audience with some of his soulful hits.
Sweet!

Rookie Cleveland Cop Kills 12-Year-Old Boy Carrying BB Gun
A Cleveland area BB gun police shooting by a rookie cop has turned into a fatality after a 12-year-old who was carrying the toy replica has died.
Via Cleveland.com
The boy, whose name has not been officially released, was shot in the stomach at Cudell Recreation Center, at Detroit Avenue and West Boulevard, about 3:30 p.m. Saturday, police said.
He was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center in serious condition, EMS officials said. Throughout the night his condition deteriorated and he died early Sunday, Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association president Jeff Follmer said.
The shooting came after a man at the park adjacent to the rec center called police when he saw “a guy with a gun pointing it at people.”
The caller twice said the gun was “probably fake” and told dispatchers the person pulling the gun from his waistband was “probably a juvenile,” according to audio released by police officials late Saturday
According to Deputy Chief Ed Tomba, the boy did neither point the toy weapon at the officers or engage into any verbal confrontation.
The officer who fired the fatal shot is now on paid administrative leave. A series of internal investigations are currently being conducted.
D.C. Rappers Stunt With Snatched Migos Chain During an Interview
If all goes wrong, Migos lead rapper Quavo’s stolen gold chain will become the viral successor to Yung Berg’s.
After involuntarily parting ways with his gold “Quality Control” piece during a November 16 show-turned-brawl, a D.C. rap group by the name of LeggTeam are taking responsibility for the chain caper.
During an interview with Real Talk Hip Hop, the three-man crew consisting of Donno, Splee, and Pablo discuss the incident while also claiming dominion over the nation’s capital.
“Look, for any of you other rap artists that come out here to DC to do a show, you gotta have a hood pass,” member Pablo says while wearing the Migos chain around his neck, with a gun in his lap. “If you don’t have a hood pass you gotta be a man…You gotta be a man though. You don’t let nobody take your chain. A grown man would not let a n***a take his chain.”
Fat Trel also interjected himself into the drama at the start of the video, alleging that Pablo sells him all of his weaponry. Most likely illegally.
We told you this struggle wasn’t over. Let us pray this is as far as it goes, however. Watch the video interview in the player below.
‘I’m Not Gay No More!’ Dude Target of Church Lawsuit.
Andrew 'I'm Not Gay No More!' Caldwell Target of Church Lawsuit.
*And why are we so NOT surprised to learn that the “I’m Not Gay No More” dude is on the verge of being sued by the very church that “delivered” him from his gayness?
As we reported, Andrew Caldwell, went and took the viral video of his “deliverance,” auto-tuned it, added some background vocals and uploaded it for sale on iTunes.
The Church of God in Christ is saying his next move might be to call his attorney ’cause they are on the verge of suing his arse. A church official says they want him to stop selling the song partly because they own the audio, but also because they feel Andrew is making a mockery of the service. That’s true, however, some feel he wasn’t the only one.
In any event, Caldwell says no deal. He told TMZ he’s copyrighted the song and says it’s his voice and only he – not even God – can claim ownership of it.

In a message he wrote on Instagram, he thanked all those who came out to show love, and said that not only was the party a celebration for his birthday, but a toast to the “Golden Era” of Hip Hop:
This night was a celebration of life for me.. A night to be remembered. But besides it being a party for my birthday on November 18th, it was a toast to the “Golden Era” of Hip Hop, Fashion, & Street Culture… The 90s. Thank You’s to all who came out, supported, or was apart of last night… Appreciate the LOVE!
He pulled up to the scene in a white classic BMW, and wrote “Got the BM in the BM….

Looks like everybody had a good time! Take a step back into the 90s with more below..
