While in federal time out in Indiana, the Gucci Mane decided that he had to straighten up.
He managed to lose 50 lbs while being in time out. The 36-year old rapper was getting some mad props from his girlfriend Keyshia Ka'ior.
The rapper escaped a 20 year bid for having weapons while under disability and binging out on the snow and booze. He managed to get a four year bid with 10 years in house.
He decided to cut out the drugs and booze. He also said that the burgers, fries and shakes are out of his squad.
The rapper released First Day Out Tha Feds on Thursday and the single was streamed over 2.5 million times.
Gucci promising that he'll release a mixtape soon.
It's noted that Gucci Mane (Radric Davis) did kill a person in 2005. Guwop escaped a murder charge after he was attacked at his home and claimed self-defense when he shot a man. His violation for having a weapon while under disability was a condition of that charge being dropped.
Gucci Mane out of federal time out. Plans on releasing a mixtape.
The Atlanta rapper was released from federal time out yesterday. Radric Davis, known to the world as the Gucci Mane was granted freedom from the Terre Haute federal time out.
On top of that, he wants to release a mixtape. Tonight he will release a mixtape at 10:17pm.
A nod to his label 1017 Records.
Big Guwop escaped a 20 year sentence after being hit up with federal charges. Back in 2013, the rapper spazzed out. He was caught in the Atlanta streets with a semi-automatic after binging on the snow. He was quickly arrested and treated for injuries inflicted on himself.
After being sent to detox, he was given the choice, straighten up or face 20 in federal time out.
His lawyers worked out a reasonable sentence. He got three years in federal time out and 10 years of supervised in-house.
Gucci Mane is free man. Well wishes to the King of East Atlanta.
Gucci Mane released over 12 albums and 54 mixtapes.
The NYPD is investigating a deadly shooting at a concert featuring rapper Clifford "T.I." Harris.
T.I. was scheduled to performed onstage. During the show, someone popped off and it hit three. One of the victims was killed and two were critically injured.
A 34-year-old man was shot in the chest and a 33-year-old man was shot in the stomach.
Two people were shot in the leg -- a woman, 26, and a 30-year-old man who walked himself to a nearby hospital.
CNN has reached out to T.I.'s representatives for comment. He's is no longer at the venue, authorities said.
T.I. was also set to perform at a separate venue, the 1 OAK nightclub, later in the evening, but authorities have shut it down, according to law enforcement sources.

Trap god heading to the United States. It's thanks to an unwilling patsy named Sean Penn.
Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the world's most dangerous drug lord could be heading to the United States to face trial. There's just one condition, he has to be sentenced to LIFE in federal time out if he's convicted of drug trafficking and murder charges.
The Mexican government agreed with U.S. law officials to hand over El Chapo if the death penalty is taken off the board.
Mexico's Foreign Relations Department has ruled that the extradition of convicted drug lord to the United States can go forward, the AP reports. The process can still be appealed, meaning it could be weeks or months before the Sinaloa cartel leader may be sent north. Guzman's lawyers now have 30 days to appeal the decision.
Guzman's capture came right after a controversial interview with actor/activist Sean Penn.
Penn got clearance to interview the drug lord. The U.S. government got word of the interview and pegged him. Penn unaware he was being tracked, led the Mexican and American authorities to the trap spot where El Chapo was plotting an escape.
Guzman is the trap lord of the Sinolas, a domestic terrorist group that has ties to California, Arizona, Texas and Florida.
Guzman would be heading to Florence, Colorado, the Alcatraz of the Rockies, the country's most secured facility. Some of the world's most dangerous terrorists and criminals are located there.
The legendary MC who helped created the hip-hop group The Beastie Boys passed away.
According to CNN, John Berry died Thursday at a hospice in Danvers, Massachusetts.
He was suffering from frontotemporal dementia and his health had been failing for several years.
John was a part of the group during the early 1980s before he left the group.
The Beastie Boys who blended punk and rap, burst on the music scene in 1986 with the album "License to Ill", which had the hits (You Gotta) Fight for the Right (to Party), Paul Revere, Brass Monkey, and No Sleep Till Brooklyn.
The Beastie Boys were notable for being a group of White rappers who broke through a genre that was mostly associated with Black culture. They were the iconic rap group of the golden age.
The members of the Beastie Boys were Mike D, MCA and Ad-Rock.
Adam "MCA" Yauch passed away three years ago in May.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of John Berry.
NBC gives critically acclaimed sitcom a third season. The Carmichael Show is a very good comedy.
The NBC comedy featuring Jerrod Carmichael, Loretta Devine and David Alan Grier will be on for a third season. After three weeks of patience and a lot of talk behind the scenes, NBC announces that the comedy is a go for season three. They preordered a 13-episode season.
The issue was how NBC was going to order 10 episodes instead of 20th Century Fox TV's request for a full 13 episode season.
The Carmichael Show is extremely good. But it's not a ratings draw according to NBC. The critically acclaimed sitcom was on the bubble. Tonight I am happy to announce that The Carmichael Show will return in the fall.
Inspired by the life and comedy of stand-up comic Carmichael, The Carmichael Show follows Jerrod and his opinionated Southern family as they reluctantly deal with modern-day America knocking at their front door. Nothing is off limits, including religion, sex, politics, mental health and gender identity. David Alan Grier, Loretta Devine, Amber Stevens West, Rel Howery and Tiffany Haddish co-star. Danielle Sanchez-Witzel is the showrunner.
But the price was heavy for every other show that was featured on the struggling network.
Eva Longoria's sitcom Telenovela, Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris, Crowded, Game of Silence, Heartbeat, Heroes Reborn, The Mysteries of Laura, The Player, Truth Be Told, Undateable and You, Me and the Apocalypse were canceled.
America Ferrera's sitcom Superstore survives for a season two.
CBS also announced the CW will pickup Supergirl for Season 2. The show was costly to CBS and the move to the CW will give the show more flexibility. Supergirl will join Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow. The CW kept most of their shows and I am very happy about the network keeping Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, iZombie and Jane The Virgin. These shows were critically acclaimed and were on the bubble.
Even though the critics praised the musical dramedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, the ratings weren't good.
Rachel Bloom, the series star and producer won a Golden Globe for her role on the show and the CW gave her an opportunity to keep the show viable for a second season.
ABC canceled The Muppets. The reboot of the lovable characters didn't muster enough support.
Nashville was a shocking announcement. The musical drama was prepped for a season five but ABC decided that it's curtains. Fans are hoping that Netflix or Hulu will work out a deal.
The Mindy Project survived a breathe of life. When Fox canceled the show, fan outcry drove a petition to get it on Hulu. So far, it's on Hulu and will likely be in syndication soon.
I will give my honest take on the U.S. 2016-17 TV season in August.
Macklemore talks about drug abuse with President Barack Obama.
Rapper Macklemore had an opportunity to discuss a very personal issue in President Barack Obama's weekly address. He was in attendance of the White House at a dinner for the Nordic leaders and had an opportunity to address an issue that affected him and his family.
In the weekly address, Obama pressed on Congress to pass legislation to help curb heroin addiction.
Macklemore will be the first rapper in history to involved in presidential message to the nation.
Macklemore, 32, whose real name is Ben Haggerty, has been open about his prescription-drug and alcohol addictions. He was first arrested at 15 and ended up in King County Juvenile Drug Court. He entered rehab in 2008. During the Saturday address, he mentioned his friend Kevin, who died at 21 from an overdose of painkillers.
The hip-hop artist is sober, but his struggle with addiction is an ongoing process, he’s said previously.
Macklemore who became a mainstream success with the hit single "Thrift Shop" was there to discuss the heroin epidemic. The epidemic is spreading across the country and the law can't stop it. He is a Grammy award winning rapper/producer and actor.
“Addiction is like any other disease — it doesn’t discriminate,” Macklemore said during the address. “It doesn’t care what color you are, whether you’re a guy or a girl, rich or poor, whether you live in the inner city, a suburb, or rural America. This doesn’t just happen to other people’s kids or in some other neighborhood. It can happen to any of us.”
Macklemore is “an advocate who’s giving voice to a disease we too often whisper about: the disease of addiction,” Obama said.
A conversation between Obama and Macklemore on opioid addiction — and what can be done to address the problem — will air on MTV this summer.
Heroin and Fentanyl are extremely addictive drugs. My former friend is either dead or surviving on a thread. She was inspiring to be a travel agent and worked a local hotel in Dayton. She quit the job to become a prostitute who sells her body on Backpage. I once had feelings for her and sympathy. I tried to help her by giving her a number to a friend who is a therapist. She refused help and said that she rather "get high and die"!
I gave up on her after she was allegedly dating a local dope pusher. So it's been over five months since I've last talked to her. I don't know if she's still alive.
Heroin (or Boy for street slang) has the White girls and boys going crazy.
White people are addicted to heroin came directly from addiction to pain killers and medication.
It's claimed over 40,000 people's lives a year. And the issue is getting worse. Matter of fact, HIV, the deadly disease is being spread faster through needle sharing and unprotected sex with an alleged user.
Do you know someone who is addicted to pain killers or heroin?
When 50 Cent came to Dayton to promote his Effin Vodka, he took a flight out of Cincinnati.
The rapper was at the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport in Erlanger, Kentucky.
He shares some of his daily routine on social media and his fans love it.
The rapper whipped out a camera and started filming a worker. He decided to rim on the worker.
The rapper was dumping on a worker by accused him of being high. He said that airport worker Andrew Farrell looks like he's high and retarded. He publicly humiliated the worker on social media.
He was unaware that the worker was autistic.
The capo of The Unit now faces a national backlash from the junk food media for his childish behavior. He managed to get his vodka pulled off the shelves of liquor stores.
He also got tongue lashed by those in the entertainment community for being such an ass.
50 Cent was using his iPhone to mock a Cincinnati airport worker.
50 admits that he's an idiot and released a press statement telling the public he was sorry for acting a fool at the airport. He wrote the apology to Andrew saying it wasn't his intentions to insult a man doing his job.
Farrell said that 50's actions were ignorant and he wants the rapper to meet him at a center for autistic children. So far, no word on 50 making any other appearance since the controversy.
At the local Arrow Spirits and Wine, the owner decided that he's not going to be associated with the rapper's products after he posted that on social media. He thanked 50 for coming to Dayton to give autographs to the shoppers but he doesn't want that reputation to hang on his store.
Who is the most dumbest rapper?
So as you see above, a poll. I added a few new entities to this poll. After all, last poll clearly went to Tyga as being the most dumbest rapper.
Afeni Shakur, the mother of the late rapper Tupac Shakur passed away today. The mother who inspired her son for greatness was found dead in her Marin County, California home.
The family confirmed that she passed away from an apparent heart attack.
Shakur was an activist and motivational speaker. She urged rappers to put aside their differences for the sake of the Black community. There was a brutal hip-hop war between the West coast and the East coast. It led to the deaths of her son and his longtime rival the Notorious B.I.G. (Biggie Smalls).
Her name became famous in the 1995 Tupac Shakur single "Dear Mama" off the Me Against the World album.
Afeni Shakur sued Death Row for all of Tupac's music and licensing fees. She was awarded a cache of unreleased music, movie reels and poems from the rapper who many saw as a poetic but yet troubled soul.
Shakur led the fight to get a museum in her son's honor.
The queen of a pride. Afeni Shakur fought to have her son Tupac Shakur's legacy preserved.
Afeni Shakur (born Alice Faye Williams) was an American music businesswoman, philanthropist, political activist and Black Panther. She acted as her own criminal defense attorney after being accused of taking part in numerous bombings as a member of the Panthers.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Afeni Shakur. The legacy of Tupac Shakur will forever be etched in music history. Afeni, a beautiful woman in the fight for equality in America.
Afeni Shakur you will be missed by me and S. Baldwin.
Stop that guy. Get this guy! Call the cops! Call the cops!
The cries of a woman who confronted a man who stalked her inside a Jacksonville area Target.
Candice Spivey gets praise from victim advocates after she called out a Florida man who she said stalked her around the dressing rooms. Candice stated that this man once bothered her while she was inside a grocery store. So as soon as she recognized him, she whips out the camera phone and starts recording him strike up a conversation that started becoming uncomfortable.
She would say "hey, you remember me from the [last encounter]", and flashes the camera phone on him. He had the deer in the headlights look and started bolting from the Target.
She would chase him asking bystanders and employees to call the cops and stop this guy.
Of course, people who witnessed the event were cautiously nervous about it. The witnesses had the "I don't want to get involved because I might be....."
The perv was out by the social media. The law would nab this guy after he ran a few lights trying to avoid a bystander getting his license.
He was identified as Jeffrey Polizzi and he was busted.
Now he's facing a slew of criminal charges from this encounter. Matter of fact, he didn't just stalk Candice, but other women and the law is asking for information.
Candice said that the perv was with his children at a local Publix store and he started asking normal run-of-the mill questions. He would then stroll into the creepy asshole section. He would sneak a picture of Candice either bending over or mid blouse.
She filmed this video on April 27th and posted on Facebook. As soon as she posted the video it went viral and scored over 2 million and counting.
“When he approached me yesterday he did not remember who I was, until I called him out on it in this video. When he approached me in Publix two years ago he had two small children with him under the age of three in his shopping cart. The basket of his shopping cart was filled with multiple different types of razors that were for both men and women. He starts out his conversation with the same punch line he uses here in the very beginning of this video saying, ‘Hey there I don’t mean to bother you but I just bought this maxi dress for my wife at Ross and I was kinda worried about the sheerness of it.'”
Candice Spivey ain't a piece of meat. She gave a perv a social media and public shaming.
“He says his wife has put on weight after giving birth and he uses her as a way to start asking questions that get extremely inappropriate. For instance he starts asking [if] his wife should wear the maxi dress with no panties, and if she should shave ‘down there’ trying to make it seem very innocent in the way he’s asking. He then asks if you’re wearing panties, etc.”
Polizzi had a notorious history of hiding cameras inside his shoes, his glasses and books. He was charged with voyeurism before and if these charges hang on his neck, he might have to register as a TIER II sex offender. He may spend time in the iron college for this.
Polizzi is innocent until proven guilty.
World News Today give a special shout out to Candice Spivey. She took the bold risk of confronting a bully who made her feel like a victim. She said that this perv isn't going to make her a victim.
Celebrity fashion designer accused of having an affair with Jay-Z. Rachel Roy got stung by the BeyHive.
Don't mess with the BeyHive. They will sting you....and they never forget!
Queen Bey celebrates another platinum album. The album Lemonade was declared platinum this weekend. The album is a hit. Of course, the album is filled with cryptic messages aimed at several individuals.
One person singled out is her husband, rapper/media mogul Shawn Corey Carter, known to the world as Jay-Z.
A fashion designer was singled out as the alleged mistress in Beyonce's album. The rumors are spreading and the junk food media is covering the cheating allegations by Jay-Z.
Rachel Roy is getting stung by the BeyHive after her name turned up in the little black book.
Beyonce released her new visual album on Saturday, entitled "Lemonade." In some of the lyrics, Beyonce refers to Jay Z’s mistress as "Becky with the good hair."
Bey is going to hammer the Jiggaman if cheating allegations are proven true.
Fans token Rachel Roy as "Becky".
Fans came for Rachel Roy after her Instagram post, saying she taunted Beyonce. Roy caption said, "good hair don't care, but we will take good lighting, for our selfies, or self truths, always."
Roy who was married to Jay-Z's former partner Dame Dash is under scrutiny for having multiple affairs. Roy's alleged affair with Jay-Z caused Dash and her to split up. Dash is suing for custody of his children and breach of contract in their joint business venues.
Jay-Z had alleged affairs with Mya, celebrity agitator Free and Rihanna.
His cheating affairs may have been the reason why Queen Bey's sister Solange gave the Jigga man a five finger roll.
Medical doctor who acted a fool while riding with Uber got fired out the cannon.
Worldwide condemnation came full circle today. The 28-year old 5' foot 100 lbs. medical doctor from Miami, Florida got fired out the cannon after she embarrassed herself and her hospital. Anjali Ramkissoon was placed in the freezer after a video surfaced showing her acting a fool towards an Uber driver.
The now famous video shows Ramkissoon hopping into an Uber driver's vehicle. The driver told her that she wasn't his pickup. The woman highly intoxicated went on a furious rampage.
She would knee him in the family jewels. He would push her to the ground. She quickly got up and hopped into the ride. Ramkissoon would eventually get the man's keys, phone and flyers.
She would literally destroy everything in his car before exiting and heading down the road.
The law was dispatched to the location. The person who was the actual rider filmed it and shared it online.
Pretty stupid. Doctor's social media antics cost her job.
It went through 6.5 million hits.
It lead to Ramkissoon giving an apology and reimbursement to the driver.
But the damage was done. She was widely condemned by the public for being a classless jerk. A privileged spoiled brat. She would get death threats and ridicule online.
Ramkissoon had shut down her social media. Uber terminated her contract for LIFE.
Now she won't be working Jackson Health Systems. She will have the right to appeal the decision.
The most infamous thing said by Ramkissoon was what led to her cannon firing.
So far she announced that she is in treatment for alcohol addiction and is hoping that the ugly memory of this event is put behind her.
Looks like The Breakfast Club has a new "Donkey of the Day".
Cash Money's CEO Bryan "Baby" Williams who goes by the rap name Birdman made the news this week. His ignorance was live and direct on the FM agitators program. They let the mic goes live.
Birdman goes to The Breakfast Club to whine about the hosts giving his rivals Rick Ross and Trick Daddy airtime. The rappers agreed that Birdman screwed Lil' Wayne over the scrapped Tha Carter V.
Birdman decided to pay Angie Yee, DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God a visit.
Birdman who is an affiliate with the Bloods, a domestic terrorist group (street gang) gave Charlamagne a warning shot. He said, "I'm pulling up on you, nigga!!"
Ignorance from media mogul Bryan "Baby" Williams, known as rapper Birdman.
Charlamagne said that the media mogul's actions were unacceptable and told him to exit stage right.
Birdman's interview will go down in history as one of the shortest interviews in the show's history.
The antics went viral and now the hip-hop community condemned the media mogul for his behavior.
The Breakfast Club did an official ban of the media mogul after this.
Birdman since apologized.
Birdman is under federal watch. The feds are watching him. They believe that he's involved in domestic terrorism through his affiliation with The Bloods. They still want to ask him questions about Lil' Wayne's bus being shot up in Atlanta. Young Thug's manager was indicted on the shooting. He's squawking to the feds about the Birdman and Thugger's antics.
Keyshia Cole made the news last year after she acted a fool in Birdman's home. Cole was rumored to be involved with the 47-year old media mogul.
The Cash Money empire is struggling right now. Drake is working on his final album with the Young Money/Cash Money label. The Views from the 6 is slated for release soon. Drake is working on establishing his OVO Sound acts.
Charlamange Tha God, Angela Yee and DJ Envy host the celebrity agitation program The Breakfast Club.
Nicki Mianj is focusing on her career. Her troubled relationship with Meek Mill is starting to wane.
Ms. Nicki's going to make a debut in the Barbershop sequel with Ice Cube, Common, Anthony Anderson and Eve.
2 Chainz did a solidarity album with Lil' Wayne. Collegrove was a success. Weezy couldn't get the credit because Cash Money blocked his namesake from the release. Def Jam released it as a 2 Chainz solo.
Bill O'Reilly's recent statements about Black people not getting jobs because they have tattoos on their foreheads seems to be aimed at Lil' Wayne, Gucci Mane, Birdman, Soulja Boy and Young Thug.
Many in the entertainment industry dismissed O'Reilly as an ignorant bigot. O'Reilly since clarified his comments.
The Breakfast Club is on Revolt TV and many syndication radio networks. It's locally on Power 105.1 FM, an iHeartMedia station during the hours of 6am - 11am.

While on tour, Post Malone puts his hands on Justin Bieber's neck. The rapper told the junk food media they were just playing.
Post Malone who had the hit single "White Iverson" made him a household name. Now giving the Biebs a neck brace is legendary. The Dallas rapper was allegedly placed his hand on the neck of Canadian entertainer Justin Bieber.
Biebs was being an asshole as usual. He decides to put a cigarette out on Post Malone.
TMZ reported that Justin Bieber had mischievously ashed a cigarette on Post Malone while he was performing his hit, "White Iverson," at a Houston club. As far as we could tell from the clip, Malone seemed unbothered by the move, or perhaps he's just a good showman and withheld the pain until after his performance-- because a new photo tells a slightly different story.
Justin Bieber looks like the holy ghost got him. Nah, that's his buddy Post Malone after he flick a square on him.
The junk food media went bonkers. Matter of fact, people were trashing on Post for being "rough" on him.
Post said that they were just playing. No feud.
In the clip, taken on a mobile phone, Justin can be seen grinning after the shocking incident - which took place as the pair partied with the Biebs’ very large entourage following his sold out show in Houston on April 9.
Responding to the picture on Twitter, Post said: "I love Justin y'all tripping lol.
"He's my big brother and we like to rough house. If we was fighting someone would have done something instead of just sit around while the Biebs gets chokeslammed.
"End of story I love jus more than life and the mixtape is on the precipice of release. God bless my fans."
They are currently on the Purpose Tour. Bieber is currently on tour with Post Malone. The incident happened while they were in Houston.
T'yanna Wallace, the daughter of the greatest MC of all time calls out Sean "Puffy" Combs.
She was totally out of the loop when Diddy didn't invite her to a celebration concert for her father.
T'yanna is the daughter of the Notorious B.I.G., a Brooklyn based rapper/producer who rose to critical acclaim after releasing Ready to Die and put Combs's label Bad Boy on the map.
She took to social media to slam the media mogul for being being a liar and fake ass punk for not including her and mother Jan Jackson. Biggie also had a son with Faith Evans named Christopher Wallace, Jr, known as CJ.
Diddy quickly reached out to her. He said that his made a mistake and he will invite T'yanna and her family to the concert. T'yanna scrubbed her social media posts and told the junk food media, everything is cool.
CJ Wallace. The son of late rapper Notorious B.I.G. and Faith Evans.
The Notorious B.I.G. (born Christopher George Latore Wallace) won praise and respect among most MCs. He also got entangled into a huge feud with Tupac Shakur and his label Death Row. The junk food media labeled their feud the East Coast vs. West Coast hip-hop war. It ultimately ended in the death of Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas in September 1996.
Biggie Smalls as he was also known was murdered in Los Angeles after leaving a hip-hop awards party in March 1997. Some say that the death was a retaliation killing and the murders of both Biggie and 'Pac still remain unsolved.
His last living album Life After Death came out a few days later.
T'yanna was only three years old when her father was gunned down. CJ was only a few month old when his father was gunned down.
The rapper would have been 44-years old if he was alive today. His birthday was on May 20.
Hamburger Helper releases Watch The Stove on iTunes.
General Mills releases an actual mixtape.
Watch The Stove is actually a mixtape released by Lefty, the Hamburger Helper mascot. It's a good mixtape. As an April Fool's Prank, the company wanted to give Lefty some real beef.
The title is a mocking of Jay-Z and Kanye West's album Watch The Throne.
It takes a shot at Meek Mill. Because remember in July, the Philly rapper was engaged in a serious rap beef with Drake. Drake served him hard. And General Mills couldn't resist making Meek Mill the butt of their promotional campaign. General Mills reached out to music manager/educator Craig Rice for help putting the project together. Rice, a teacher at McNally Smith College of Music in Minnesota and had Toki Wright as the performer of the mixtape.
In the mix, Lefty recording the mixtape.
Wright is an established hip-hop artist having released albums with Rhymesayers, Wright is also the Department Head of the nation’s first fully accredited Hip-hop Studies Diploma and Minor Program at the school. Jumping at the chance to get his students involved in a project that could reach a large audience, they got to work.
The media mogul's latest endeavor: Opening up a charter school.
Sean "Puffy" Combs, known as Puff Daddy/Diddy told the junk food media that he's going bring Hartford's Capital Prep Charter School to Harlem. He wants to turn an abandoned building in Harlem into a school for social justice. The school will cater to high school students from 6th grade to 12th grade.
Combs is co-founding the school with Steve Perry, a recognized name in education reform who has sparred with union leaders and made TV appearances such as on CNN's "Black in America." Perry founded a public magnet campus in Hartford, Conn., in 2005, and a charter in Bridgeport, Conn., founded in 2015. Charter schools are publicly funded and can be privately operated.
Combs provided office space and staff in New York to launch the school, Perry said. Initially, those staffers canvassed the neighborhood for support. Perry said he hasn't asked Combs to donate his money to the school, and the musician's day-to-day involvement is still to be determined.
Teachers are called illuminators because they're more than just instructors, said Capital Prep Harlem Principal Danita Jones.
He's accepting students this session.
This is the media mogul's first attempt at opening up an institution for disadvantaged youth.
Combs is the founder of Bad Boy Entertainment. Through the 1990s and 2000s the label was credited to the success of Notorious B.I.G., 112, Total, Faith Evans, Mase, The Lox, Craig Mack and Black Rob.
Bad Boy's latest acts include Cassie, Machine Gun Kelly, and French Montana.
A flight attendant was busted for trafficking the snow at LAX (Los Angeles International Airport).
She thought that she could have passed through the TSA with her luggage. She thought wrong. They asked her for a secondary screening.
It turned out that she didn't want to participate in the secondary screening. The flight attendant would bolt from the TSA leaving her luggage and her luxury Gucci pumps behind.
Well inside that luggage and her Gucci pumps was snow. Lots of snow. The TSA found nearly 70 lbs of cocaine, a package of condoms and cash.
The flight attendant for JetBlue was named as Marsha Gay Reynolds, an Jamaican born woman who once was a beauty pageant contestant.
She was off-duty when she flashed her identification to the TSA. They looked at her like she's up to something. So they decided to make her squirm a bit.
I guess that was a good call, because if they allowed her on to flight, all that coke would have been shipped through the government.
Well Reynolds managed to escape the law for a moment. She would take flight at Bob Hope in Burbank to head to New York. The feds were waiting for her.
Bricks. All White bricks wrapped in green.
Now she is waiting extradition to Los Angeles to face some serious charges. These charges could put the pretty woman in federal time out for LIFE.
Reynolds is innocent until proven guilty.
Reynolds is also considered a high alert for escape. So they confiscated her passport and held her without a get out free card.
Beauty without the brains.
JetBlue is not pleased about this. They are working with the feds to out anyone else involved in the smuggling of cocaine, weapons and explosives.
The TSA comes under fire for this. They may have involuntarily allowed individuals smuggle illegal activity on flights here and abroad. The potential of a terrorist smuggling explosives through friends who work for airports came into question after a Russian airliner crashed after a worker smuggled a bomb the size of a Pespi bottle onto a flight.
