    Jamoneisha Merritt – GoFundMe

    A GoFundMe page for Jamoneisha Merritt was created after she was attacked with a pot of boiling water.  Jamoneisha suffered severe burns to her face and upper body.  She was attacked by someone that she thought was a friend.  Merritt got in an argument with her friend and when she went to sleep her friend threw a pot of boiling water on her head.

    Jamoneisha is 11 and her friend is 12.  The incident occurred during a slumber party at Merritt’s friends house in the Bronx, New York.  She was brought to the Harlem Hospital’s burn unit.  Merritt’s friend has serious anger problems and I hope she gets the help she needs.  The image below shows that the 11-year-old is making a progressive recovery:

    Merritt suffered severe burns to her face, shoulders, chest and back.  Her mother, Ebony, has been by her side since she checked into the hospital.  Ebony left once to seek legal counsel.  Prosecutors are considering filing felony charges against the 12-year-old.


    It’s usually easy to give a child the benefit of the doubt.  Kids make mistakes all the time.  In this case, the 12-year-old must be taught a lesson.  More importantly she must get the help she needs to manage her anger.

  • What Is Sarahah App – Snapchat Thing?

    What Is Sarahah App – Snapchat Thing?

    The hype surrounding the Sarahah Snapchat app is slowly but surely calming down.  The constructive criticism app dropped to number 27 on the App Store’s Top Charts.  Sarahah cannot be directly linked to your Snapchat account.  You can use Snapchat’s new linking feature to connect your Sarahah account to Snapchat.

    Sarahah’s success proves that we care what other people think about us.  We’re getting more comfortable with the truth but why do we care abut other people’s opinions? Not caring what other people think is the best choice you will ever make!

    Sarahah is an app for receiving honest feedback from anonymous people.  So what exactly is this thing and why is it so popular on Snapchat? The word Sarahah is Arabic.  It mean honesty in English.   There’s nothing like constructive criticism but most of us are afraid to hurt each other’s feelings.  Sarahah solves that problem!

    Snapchat got popular because it promised privacy.  We all know that didn’t work out.  Sarahah also promises privacy.  It’s only a matter of time before someone hacks the app and exposes people who leave negative comments about others.  Privacy doesn’t exist on social media.

    What Is Sarahah App Snapchat Thing?

    The following tweet proves my point.  We don’t like privacy.  We want to know people’s honest opinions about us.  That means the next most popular app in the app store will be one that tells people exactly who made specific comments about us via Sarahah.

    The app launched in February and hit the Apple App Store in June.  If you can’t handle the truth you should leave the app alone.  The sad part is most of the messages shared via the app will be from people who don’t matter.  Life lesson: Hurt people hurt people.

  • Mystikal – Rape, First Degree 2017

    Mystikal – Rape, First Degree 2017

    Rapper, Mystikal is wanted for first degree rape.  Police say the alleged sexual assault took place last year in Shreveport, Louisiana.  Mystikal was in Shreveport for the Legends of Southern Hip-Hop event.  The rapper, whose real name is Michael Tyler, was with a man named Averweone Holman.  Police recently arrested Holman and now they’re looking for Mystikal.

    Master P signed Mystikal to No Limit Records in 1996.  He enjoyed success as a rapper throughout the late 90s and early 2000s.  In 2003, Mystikal was charged with rape and in 2004 he was sentenced to 6 years in prison.

    Mystikal was released in 2010 and didn’t waste any time before getting back in the studio.  He signed with Cash Money Records and started releasing new music.  In 2014, Mystikal left Cash Money because they were going a different route with their music.

    I’m praying the allegations are false.  Mystikal has kids and he needs to be in their lives.  His bond was set to $2 million and a warrant has been obtained.  A 42-year-old woman named Tenichia Wafford is also wanted in connection with the case.  She allegedly tried to persuade the victim to drop the charges.

    Russell Simmons letter to Trump starts out by reminding the president of some of his past accomplishments involving race in America:

    Jay-Z – Rap Radar

    Scroll to the Tidal player to listen to Jay-Z’s Rap Radar 4:44 interview.  The Brooklyn rapper reveals that “Kill Jay-Z” and “The Story of O.J.” were the first two tracks he recorded for the album.  He says that this was the most open he has ever been on a project.  Jay discusses “The Story of O.J.” in depth and even mentions Insecure.

    Jay explains that we have to look back to move forward.  He did so with an exploration of O.J. Simpson’s life.  Although we have come a long way since then, we still have a massive amount of work to do.  He doesn’t think we should celebrate black TV shows like Insecure because they should have been on air years ago.

    When we first saw the 4:44 ads we jumped to the conclusion that Jay was working on an album.  Then we found out that 4:44 was a Danny Glover film.  Jay reveals that he started the rumor to throw people off.  You gotta love Jay’s sense of humor.

    Jay explains that the footnotes happened organically.  He says he learned new information about some of his closest friends.

  • Meek Mill – Dad

    Meek Mill – Dad

    Meek Mill’s dad died on August 18, 1992.  He was only 5-years-old.  In the Instagram post below the rapper explains that he had a conversation with his father while he was locked up.  Meek spent a night in jail for riding his dirt bike, without a helmet, in New York City.  His lawyer said he popped a wheelie on the bike because he was filming a music video.

    Meek Mill’s Mother, Kathy Williams

    Meek Mill’s mother, Kathy Williams, gave birth to him on May 6, 1987.  He grew up in the mean streets of South Philadelphia.  Kathy’s mother died when she was young so she didn’t have support.  Meek has an older sister named Nasheema.  The odds were stacked against Kathy’s kids.  They were fatherless and they didn’t have grandparents that could help their mother.

    Meek Mill Dad

    Meek grew up in poverty, explaining why he goes so hard.  From his battle raps on some of Philly’s most dangerous corners to his mixtapes, Meek’s unapologetic swag has carried him to the top of the rap game.

    The tweet below is exactly what Meek needs.  The rapper loves adversity.  He grew up in the jungle so he knows how to respond to hate.  When you grew up without a father and you are forced to do whatever it takes to survive the last thing you have time to worry about is Twitter fingers.

    Trey Songz Brothers – Forrest, Alex Neverson

    Trey Songz has two brothers, Forrest Tucker and Alex Neverson.  Trey was sentenced to 18 months probation today.  The talented singer caught a disturbing the peace charge for acting out at the Joe Louis Arena last year.  Trey was also charged with obstructing a police officer and aggravated assault.  He’s lucky he didn’t get any jail time.

     

    Forrest Neverson (Tucker)

    Forrest is Trey’s younger brother.  He was born on November 19, 1994.  Forrest attended Prince George High School located in Virginia.  Forrest is just as crazy as his big brother.  He recently shared some racy pics on social media along with a video.  I hope Trey will work harder to set a good example for Forrest.
