  • Is Lil Wayne Dead?

    Is Lil Wayne Dead?

    XXL reports that rapper Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. aka Lil Wayne is still in a feud with Bryan “Birdman” Williams aka Baby.  Carter is the founder of Young Money Entertainment, an imprint of Cash Money Records.  Despite their affiliation, Dwayne was recently seen sporting a hat with “F*** Cash Money” on it.

    According to BET Weezy’s $51 million lawsuit against the record label remains outstanding.  The situation is similar to Jay-Z and Damon Dash’s beef a decade ago.  On one hand, Shawn and Dwayne Carter would still be Shawn and Dwayne, on the block, if it wasn’t for Dame and Baby.  On the other hand, artists eventually outgrow their past and must evolve.  The debate doesn’t matter if the New Orleans native isn’t alive: Is Lil Wayne dead?

    A false rumor holding that the rapper passed away after suffering his eight seizure circulated in July 2016.  The report explains that Weezy’s maid found him in his shower.  According to the story, the maid claims that Carter had a seizure 20 minutes before she found him.  The rumor is false.  The Hollygrove, Louisiana native is alive and well.
    Lil Wayne Walks Off Stage
    High Times reports that the emcee only performed four songs at a recent concert.  The news makes us wonder about Dwayne’s health.  Similar to Chad “Pimp C” Butler, Carter is known to drink syrup aka “lean.” At the HIGH TIMES Medical Cannabis Concentrates Cup in San Bernardino Carter took the stage after B.o.B.  Despite agreeing to perform for at least an hour, he walks off stage after 3 minutes:

    Plagiarism has been on everyone’s mind since Melania Trump borrowed a few bars from First Lady Michelle Obama.  On July 28, 2016, during her DNC speech, Hillary Clinton borrowed a few lines from Carter: “When there are no ceilings, the sky’s the limit.” TMZ asked him about her speech and he responded “I f***s with Hillary.”

    Lil Wayne’s Net Worth
    The hip-hop artist is currently worth $150 million.  In 2014 he made $23 million and last year he earned $15 million.

  • Faze Adapt’s Sister Milan

    Faze Adapt’s Sister Milan

    FaZe Adapt’s sister, FaZe Milan was the topic of the YouTuber’s most recent video.  Alex was back in Arizona so he decided to team up with a family member.  In the video they Google Milan’s name.  He decided to have a Google Yourself episode after he reached out to his Snapchat followers for video ideas.

    If you haven’t heard of the FaZe Clan you’re not a gamer.  The team was founded in 2010 and are located in Plainview, New York.  They compete in Call of Duty and continue to dominate.  According to ESL, the team recently joined the European Division of the Pro League.

    Alex and Milan find the first video they ever made together as they explore the search results.  The talented gamer is then distracted by an image of a female that shouldn’t have been included in the search results.  Similar to Empire, the video shows us the importance of quality family time.

    Milan then reveals that she wants to send RiceGum a message.  Alex gives her a hard time but eventually allows her to send it.  They eventually find her on Famous Birthdays.  The site has her birthday listed as June 30, 2002 but she was born in 2003.  She gets mad at her brother for not knowing the year she was born.

    The video was hilarious.  Check it out below:

  • Is John Cena Dead?

    Is John Cena Dead?

    Bleacher Report explains that wrestler, John Felix Anthony Cena Jr. is slowly but surely morphing into a special attraction rather than the wrestling workhorse that he has been for the past ten years.  Similar to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, outside ventures have continued to pull him away from the ring.

    According to Entertainment Weekly, the West Newbury, Massachusetts native’s show, American Grit, has been renewed by Fox for a second season.  The wrestler helps people discover their inner strength and transform their lives on the competition series.  That’s great but it’s his life that we’re worried about: Is John Cena dead?

    A recent article explained that the actor passed away in a car crash on Route 80.  According to the story, the 39-year-old died at the scene.  Paramedics identified him by a photo ID found on his body.  He was located between Morristown and Roswell in a friend’s car.

    There’s only one problem with the rumor: It is completely false.  I woke up to the news the other day and believed it.  Luckily, my brother found out that the rumor was created by a satire website.  John Cena is alive and well! Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.

  • Did Bill Clinton Have A Stroke?

    Did Bill Clinton Have A Stroke?

    In a recent article, Life News argues that the Clinton marriage is not one to look up to.  The piece was written in response to a Cosmopolitan article that praised Bill and Hillary Clinton for outlasting the first two Trump marriages along with two Gingrich marriages and the Gore marriage.  Life News disagrees, arguing that he’s a serial adulterer who shouldn’t be awarded for his mistakes.

    According to Daily Caller, the 69-year-old apparently fell asleep during his wife’s speech at the Democratic National Convention.  Teflon Bill has nine lives and we’ll continue to forgive him for his mistakes.  He’s getting older and according to rumors, he recently had a stroke.

    The rumors started back in March after he made a television appearance with Gabby Gifford and Mark Kelly.  The video below shows the incident which took place in Arizona.  One sign of a stroke is an individual becoming noticeably lethargic.  In the video below the Arkansas native looks fine at first but then he all of a sudden looks numb and weak.

    Is Bill Clinton Sick?

    We’ll never know for sure.  After major health issues in the past, the former President’s medical records have been hidden.  Back in 2010 he underwent heart surgery.  We hope he remains healthy enough to support his wife throughout her presidential campaign.

    Who Is Suing Empire, The Show?
    The second the show premiered people started suing left and right.  One reason so many people have attempted to sue the show is because a successful black TV show is so rare these days.  The individuals that have sued use the following logic: When it seems too good to be true, it’s typically false.

    A black TV show is so rare these days that it seems too good to be true.  They had to do something illegal in order to achieve their success.  I was surprised that the show’s second season was so entertaining.  Empire‘s producers have been distracted by false allegations yet they’ve been able to overcome.
