Memphis rapper Blac Youngsta poses apparently at the grave of deceased rapper Young Dolph. It appears its fueling tensions because Youngsta and Yo Gotti had feuded with the slain rapper.
Blac Youngsta, who recently faced criticism for performing his 2016 Young Dolph diss track “Shake Sum” during a performance in Texas, is now being met with more criticism over speculation about the recently released video for his song “Im Assuming.”
The video is set in an unnamed cemetery and features multiple instances of Youngsta performing the new song next to a memorial emblazoned with the last name Thornton. Due to the Church on Sunday artist and Collective Music Group signee’s documented history of issues with Dolph, whose birth name was Adolph Thornton Jr., questions have arisen about the inclusion of these sequences.
Notably, Youngsta himself included a clip of the “Im Assuming” video in his Instagram-shared statement addressing the controversy over his decision to perform “Shake Sum” last Friday in Dallas:
Young Dolph was laid to rest in late Novemeber.
Amid the ensuing comments on that post, originally shared on Monday, were a number of Dolph fans sharing tribute messages to the late King of Memphis artist. And on Twitter and elsewhere, some listeners have shared speculation that the Thornton grave marker being seen in Youngsta’s new video was an intentional move.
Young Dolph was shot and killed outside a local bakery. He was buying cookies for his children when two terrorists ambushed him. They shot inside the bakery injuring him and others.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Shelby County Sheriff, Memphis Police and FBI are investigating whether the attack was gang violence.
The suspects are going to be charged with murder and felonious assault. Those charges could carry life in the iron college.
Aisha Tyler rumored to be dating Emily Bett Rickards.

Tyler, who was the former co-host of The Talk and current host of The CW's "Who's Line is it Anyway?" is opening up about her longtime relationship with "Arrow" star Rickards.
The two have been together shortly after Tyler divorced her husband.
She was married to Jeff Tietjens in 1992 before they separated in 2015. The divorce was finalized in 2017 and Tyler has to pay spousal support for the next four years. She should be off the support.

Jesse Watters urging an audience to go after Anthony Fauci with a "kill shot" did not occur in a vacuum.
Fox host Lara Logan says that people tell her that Dr. Fauci doesn't represent science, but represents Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor known as the "Angel of Death" for performing medical experiments at Auschwitz: "I am talking about people all across the world are saying this" pic.twitter.com/fF2DAWfG7d
A day after Jesse Watters urged TPUSA attendees to aggressively ambush Fauci with "kill shot" questions so they can go viral on Fox News, 'The Five' jokes about Fauci urging Fox to get rid of Watters.
While at a white nationalist conference, Fox host Karen Watters made a direct threat to Dr. Anthony Fauci. The host of The Five and his own Saturday show was the "Man on the Street" for the disgraced pervert Karen O'Reilly.
He appeared at the Turning Point USA conference in Phoenix.
During his speech, he made a remark that set Fauci off.
The white nationalist claimed that Fauci should be confronted on the subject that the National Institute of Health funded research at a lab in Wuhan, China. The city of Wuhan was where the COVID-19 was first spotted and originated. The white nationalist claimed that Fauci lied to the American people.
Dr. Anthony Fauci denounced the Fox Karens. He believes they're deliberately spreading misinformation.
"No you go in for the kill shot. The kill shot? With an ambush? Deadly. Because he doesn't see it coming," Watters said.
The white nationalist continued, "you know why people don't trust you, don't you? 'Oh, he is dead.' He's dead. He's done."
The white nationalist suggested that the encounter should be filmed and footage given to him, Fox, Tuckems or outlets in the conservative media. He suggested that you do what Project Veritas does in getting the ground running.
He joked, "Just make sure it's legal."
When interviewed on CNN, Fauci fired back at Watters.
"For that, you have some guy out there saying people should be giving me a kill shot, to ambush me?" Fauci said. "I mean, what kind of craziness is there in society these days? That's awful what he said. And he's going to go, very likely, unaccountable. Whatever network he is on is not going to do anything. The guy should be fired on the spot."
Fauci was right.
Fox did defend the white nationalist.
The white nationalist network said "based on watching the full clip and reading the entire transcript, it's more than clear that _____ Watters was using a metaphor for asking hard-hitting questions ... and his words have been twisted completely out of context."
Many folks over at Fox have went as far to attack Fauci personally. Tuckems called him Benito Mussolini, the Italian dictator who allied with the Axis powers and Adolf Hilter.
Karen Logan, a former CBS journalist turned to far-right agitator was pulled off the television after she claimed that Fauci was Josef Mengele, a Nazi death doctor. The ADL and Auschwitz Memorial have condemned the remarks.
Logan hasn't appeared on the network since the controversy.

I've decided not to seek another term in Congress. Serving Central Florida has been the honor of my life, but it's also been incredibly challenging for my family and me.
This was not an easy decision, but it is the right decision. Thank you for everything. pic.twitter.com/UaOufbPOSo
Florida Democrat is leaving the circus. The House member who represents the 7th Congressional district. Her district includes Orlando, Sanford and Winter Garden.
Potentially a swing district, the Democrats need motivation. Stephanie Murphy (born Đặng Thị Ngọc Dung), said the she will not seek reelection.
"I've decided not to seek another term in Congress. Serving Central Florida has been the honor of my life, but it's also been incredibly challenging for my family and me," Murphy said in a tweet, which also featured a video announcement of her plans.
Murphy, a moderate Democrat who has represented her district for five years, has been a leading voice in shaping the centrist wing of the Democratic Party. She was one of six Democrats to unseat a Republican incumbent in 2016, and currently serves as co-chairwoman of the moderate caucus, Blue Dog Coalition. Murphy was the first Vietnamese-American woman to serve in Congress and also currently serves in House leadership as a chief deputy whip.
When announcing her retirement, Murphy, a mother of two young children, conceded, "This was not an easy decision, but it was the right decision."
Murphy's decision to not seek reelection comes as many Democrats have announced retirements amid districts being redrawn and a growing consensus that the upcoming midterms are going to be a tough fight for the party. The Republican-led Florida legislature has taken a particular interest in redrawing Murphy's district, all but ensuring it will be difficult for Democrats to hold. Murphy is the 21st Democrat, and 32nd House member overall, to announce they'll be leaving at the end of the term, including 11 members who are running for Senate or governor.
The announcement of the Florida Democrat's retirement also serves as a glaring reminder that the committee investigating the January 6 riot must finish their work before the midterms. Murphy joins Republican Rep. Karen Kinzinger of Illinois in becoming the second member of the nine-person panel to announce they will not be seeking reelection.
In May, Murphy ruled out a bid for US Senate to challenge Republican incumbent Karen Rubio for his seat, partly because she acknowledged how difficult it has been for Democrats to win statewide in the state. Florida Republicans have dominated statewide races for more than a decade. The last time a Democrat won a Senate seat in Florida was in 2012.
"We've had too many close losses in Florida, and so I wanted to use my experience from winning tough races to help the party prepare itself," Murphy said in May.
Despite news of her retirement, Murphy left the door open on running for future office.
"I know now, I'm not done with public service" Murphy said Monday.
Prior to serving in Congress, Murphy served as a national security specialist in the office of the US Secretary of Defense.

As the Omicron variant becomes dominant, I want to urge you to get vaccinated or get your booster shot as soon as possible. https://t.co/MjHeoZ5E5J
This morning, I joined @FoxNewsSunday to discuss the steps we're taking to keep Marylanders safe amidst the Omicron variant and our fight to re-fund the police and pass bills to hold violent criminals accountable.
Even vaccinated Americans are getting infected with the coronavirus. The coronavirus variant, omicron is spreading like wildfire and many of the unvaccinated are putting the world in danger.
The delta variant is predominantly killing the world. In the United States, we're over 825,000 Americans dead from the coronavirus.
It does not discriminate against anyone.
It appears that the Republican governor of Maryland is the latest vaccinated politician infected by the coronavirus. Even with the two doses and booster shot, the spread is going. Some are still showing mild to severe symptoms.
So I am stressed, really stressed.
I kind of wished President Joe Biden would just abandon ship and let the unvaccinated die off. I am tired of compassion and sympathy. Too many of these folks are so willing to risk their lives. Biden shouldn't help these idiots survive. If the pandemic don't get them, gun violence and deadly weather events get them.
"Let's Go Brandon!"
Okay, let's go.....to the funeral home.
"I am feeling fine at the moment," said Gov. Karen Hogan, who is vaccinated and has received a booster shot. The test was part of his regular testing routine, said Hogan, a Republican.
"As the Omicron variant becomes dominant, I want to urge you to get vaccinated or get your booster shot as soon as possible," Hogan tweeted, along with a link to the state's resources.
CNN reached out to Hogan's office for additional comment on Monday.
Hogan was diagnosed in 2015 with non-Hodgkins lymphoma, a form of cancer, and earlier this year underwent surgery to remove early stage basal and squamous cell carcinoma on his face and shoulder.
The Republican governor's announcement follows a string of lawmakers, who have also been fully vaccinated and boosted, who report they have tested positive for Covid-19. It also comes as health officials warn the US is headed for tough winter amid a rise in coronavirus cases and as the Omicron variant raises concerns.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" Sunday the new Omicron variant is "going to take over" and urged Americans to not only get vaccinated but to also get their booster shots.
According to the World Health Organization, Omicron cases are doubling every 1.5 to 3 days with documented spread. And in the US, it's expected to become the "dominant strain" in the coming weeks, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky said Friday.
Hogan, considered a 2024 contender in the race is considered on of the rational members of the Republican Party. Very few of them. Conservative but no a raging idiot.
Ohio, West Virginia, Vermont, Massachusetts and Maryland governors are Republicans who take this shit seriously.
If only Americans got vaccinated, we would have been back to normal by July. Alas, they wanna fuck around and now they're going to find out.
Of course, there's folks who are fully vaccinated but end up getting the coronavirus. As with vaccines, nothing is 100%. The vaccines are capable of preventing the coronavirus. At best, it's a 94% prevention rate which means 1 out of 500 could be infected even if they're vaccinated.
President Joe Biden had hopes that Americans would take this shit seriously. Unfortunately, Republicans so fucking eager to return to power will keep Americans fixated on the culture wars. Now vaccinations are part of this culture war.
But those fighting the culture war by not vaccinating, not wearing face mask in public, not following protocols, and deliberately ignoring federal and international rules when traveling are going to be the first casualties of the war.
With this pandemic mostly affecting states where Republican governors are, we may have to return to wearing facial protection and cutting back services to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.
We came so far only to have a bunch of selfish idiots set it back. Just because they hate President Joe Biden.
The Republicans are so devoted to destroying Biden and the country for what....to regain power.
Pathetic.
The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about your business, your performances, your personal finances and travel. It doesn't care about the funerals, the birthday parties, the weddings, the vacations, the events and your graduations. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.
Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.
If you're not vaccinated, your chances of death increases to 48%.
Healthy people can die from this. Take this seriously. You only have one life!

One Democrat and 50 Republicans stand in the way of democracy. We must not only defeat them but send these white extremists a message.
Don't fuck with Black America.
The Democratic Party must rid itself of white nationalism. The Republican Party is catered to white nationalism. The parties have white leaders who are pretty damn clueless to the temperature of the nation. These House and Senate members need to get their heads out of their asses. They used to be the working class. Now they are the inept power seekers.
The West Virginia senator is a prime example of that. He is just as useless as members of The Squad. No one elected an activist as a lawmaker. No one elected a lawmaker to diss constituents.
In fact, West Virginia is leading opioid abuse and his stingy ass is so not concerned about it. He and Sen. Karen Moore Capito (R-WV) should take a good look at how much money that state gets in federal funding.
The child tax credit has uplifting children out of poverty.
Manchin's white nationalist remarks are shocking. He had privately raised concerns in recent months that parents would use their Child Tax Credit payments — a key piece of the Build Back Better legislation — to buy drugs, three sources familiar with the comments said.
Manchin relayed these concerns in private conversations to his fellow Democratic senators, the sources said.
HuffPost was first to remark on Manchin's remarks.
Manchin said Sunday that he could not vote for the sweeping safety nat and climate change package, puncturing hopes for its passage. He defended his decision in a radio interview on Monday, saying he was “wits' end” in negotiations with the White House. He didn’t specify exactly what the final straw was.
The West Virginia senator had previously said he would support separate legislation to extend child tax credit payments, but such a bill is unlikely to pass the Senate, which Democrats control only by a slim margin.
“Senator Manchin has made clear he supports the child tax credit and believes the money should be targeted to those who need it most," a spokeswoman for Manchin said Monday. "He has also expressed support for a paid leave program that has a dedicated, sustainable funding mechanism.”
The American Rescue Plan, enacted in March, expanded the existing child tax credit by $3,000 from $2,000 with a $600 bonus for kids under the age of 6 for the 2021 tax year. The first half was delivered in monthly payments, from July to December, of $300 for children younger than 6 years old and $250 for those aged 6 to 17. The second half will be delivered when families file 2021 tax returns next year.
Since the first payments were distributed in July, the administration has delivered nearly $93 billion to families, according to the Treasury Department. When the administration sent out the final checks of 2021 last week, they were distributed to about 61 eligible children as part of the sixth monthly payment.
Studies have found that the expanded tax credits have lifted millions of children out of poverty and that parents have used the checks for essential items. The Treasury Department, for example, said that data shows parents have spent the money on things like food, clothes and school-related expenses.

I will not stop fighting for a permanent expansion of the Child Tax Credit, universal pre-K, climate solutions, improvements to maternal health, and so many more important policies that will move our country forward.
The New Jersey senator confirms he tested positive for the coronavirus.
Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) is among the 48 members of the Democratic Party angry at the West Virginia senator and Arizona senator who held up his George Floyd Policing Act and the John Lewis Voting and For the People's Act.
The 52-year old senator confirmed on Sunday that he tested positive for the coronavirus.
"I'm beyond grateful to have received two doses of vaccine and, more recently, a booster -- I'm certain that without them I would be doing much worse, Booker wrote.
He is currently dating actress/activist Rosario Dawson. No word if she was exposed to the senator.
