Longtime New York radio personality and producer DJ Kay Slay passed away on Sunday. He was the longtime deejay and host on Hot 97 and Shade45. He was 55 years old. Born Keith Grayson, was an American disc jockey (DJ) and record executive from New York City. He is referred to by The New York Times as "Hip Hop's One-Man Ministry of Insults". He released four studio albums, The Streetsweeper, Vol. 1, The Streetsweeper, Vol. 2, The Champions: North Meets South (with Greg Street), and More Than Just a DJ.
Apparently he may had passed away from complications from the coronavirus.
He may have contracted the coronavirus and was placed on a ventilator.
Celebrity agitator Wack 100 revealed that DJ Kay Slay had been hospitalized due to COVID-19 since December 2021 and that he had been put on a ventilator to help assist with his breathing. “Pray for my brotha @djkayslay It’s not looking good,” Wack wrote in a post on Instagram. “He might be mad at me for this those that know Slay but he needs all the support he can get … Been 14 days fighting Covid and he’s just [been] put on a ventilator . Keep him in your prayers Please. [sic]”
Last week, Wack gave an update on Kay Slay’s condition, writing that the DJ was “still fighting” in a post on Instagram. “He’s been off the #ECMO machine for a couple weeks now,” Wack added. “Let’s continue our prayers as our brother continues to fight.”

Just because the United States has eased up on the coronavirus mandates and regulations doesn't mean that the pandemic is over. We have lost over 1 million Americans to the coronavirus. If things were normal, this would have been less than 100 deaths if Washed Up 45 would have taken the threat seriously.
Hell, he would have easily won his bid for a second term had he took the pandemic seriously.
Now it's tasked to President Joe Biden. He continues to push for vaccinations and following the CDC rules when testing positive for the coronavirus. We have lost over 1 million American lives to the coronavirus.
The funding for the coronavirus pandemic prevention is running out of funds. The Congress is not willing to push for more funding given that Republicans in the House and Senate as well as the two white nationalists in the Democratic caucus refusing to spend more money on preventions. They're willing to spend a lifetime to help Ukraine but never a dime for the needy here in the United States.
Biden thought Americans would take this shit seriously. Alas, they ain't willing to do it.
The pandemic is part of the culture wars. This war is costing lives. Thousands of Americans have tested positive each day of the week. Over 1,000 to 5,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus a day.
These folks not willing to get vaccinated, nor willing to take appropriate steps to prevent infection are the causalities of this culture war.
Folks like myself don't empathize with them. I refuse to. I am tired of dealing with people who think their only way to feel good about themselves is to "own the libs" or stop "wokism."
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.
Republicans so fucking eager to return to power will keep Americans fixated on the culture wars. Now vaccinations are part of this culture war.
We came so far only 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!

Former presidential candidate Marianne Williamson says Shontel Brown ain't Black enough.
The race for the Cleveland congressional district is not a national race like it was last year. It is clearly a no brainer. It's a race between an incumbent lawmaker and a leftist media personality who is running another campaign to unseat her.
The trolls of Bernista are back in full force. Instead of focusing on districts that have Republicans, they rather focus on trying to defeat Democrat in safe districts. It is a colossal waste of time and apparently many in the junk food media ain't willing to cover it.
Bernie Bros are not allies. They are the left version of MAGA. They are vicious trolls who are trying to depress Democrats going into the Midterms.
.@RepJayapal So deeply disappointed by your political support of Shontel Brown over a genuine sister @ninaturner in the struggle for justice in this country.
🚨NEWS: Documents show an out-of-state oil oligarch is suddenly bankrolling a super PAC trying to crush @NinaTurner as she campaigns for a Green New Deal — and as her opponent Rep. Shontel Brown refuses to co-sponsor House Dems’ major climate legislation. https://t.co/AwcgF4csRp
The @ninaturner race is most important of my lifetime. So I'm going to put in $25K to @RebellionPac, which is significantly painful for me, but we must win! Please chip in whatever you can to match that number. We're going to have super hard hitting ads: https://t.co/6DR9HmJPm8
The Cleveland Plain Dealer, the largest newspaper in Cleveland, just endorsed @NinaTurner AGAIN for Cleveland’s congressional seat - making it clear that she is best for CLEVELAND.
“A fighter is what Greater Cleveland needs in Congress, especially with the strong possibility of a GOP takeover of the House. And a principled and focused fighter is what Greater Cleveland will get in Nina Turner.”
Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH) is running for reelection and her main opponent in the primary is Nina Turner, former Ohio state senator and Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-VT) advisor for his failed 2016 and 2020 presidential bids.
Turner is backed by Sanders again and many of the leftists on the online trash are working harder to ensure she won't lose this time around.
The Progressive Caucus had endorsed Brown over Turner and it riled up the leftists. They are back on their bullshit. Many believe that the caucus and its head Rep. Jamilia Jayapal (D-WA) betrayed the progressive movement by endorsing Brown.
Brown is a progressive and considered more moderate on issues like spending and Israel. She supports President Joe Biden nearly 100% of the time. Brown said that she wants to be a lawmaker not an activist. She said she wants to have results not noise and distractions.
Author Marianne Williamson was bold enough to say that Brown is not genuine as Turner.
Tone deaf.
We have found our Killer Mike moment yet again. This is why it's important to see Turner lose. She and her kind are tone deaf to the issues facing Northeast Ohio.
The Progressive Caucus made a smart decision by picking Brown over Turner.
With everything on the line in the midterms, the Democrats do not need headaches. The leftists online are headaches. They don't understand the district is Black. They don't care about cancelling white college student debt. They care about jobs, affordable housing, fixing infrastructure, access to food, an end to redlining and workplace discrimination based on hairstyles. They don't care about Medicare for All when the hospitals are closing in the city of Cleveland. They don't care about $15 an hour minimum wage when the job market is forced to raise wages higher to court workers.
Shontel Brown has worked hard for that seat and I'll be damned that she will lose to a noise maker and her minions.
Mass shooting in Columbia, South Carolina. Deadly mass shootings in U.S.
Grantville, Georgia, Columbia, South Carolina and Pittsburgh were the scenes of mass shootings this Easter weekend.
All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Again, President Joe Biden can't wave a magic wand and make gun violence disappear. It takes an act of Congress. The House of Representatives have passed legislation to curb gun violence. The Senate is the only thing holding up progress.
Of course, Republicans say that "now isn't the time..."
Given that Republicans are embracing culture wars and crime is another tactic, they're screaming about violence being on the rise but aren't doing much to stop it. All they're doing is screaming that Democrats are weak on sexual offenders, illegal immigration and crime.
They won't stop gun violence because it doesn't appeal to their white nationalist base.
City governments can't do much without help from governors and state legislators willing to make change for the good of society. Republicans once they get in power are going to whitewash history, delay laws and try to impeach President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris the moment they get in.
Two boys were killed in a Pittsburgh home after a large scale party went array.
In Pittsburgh, two minors are dead and eight are seriously injured.
Shots were fired at a house part in Pittsburgh on Sunday morning.
The shooting happened around 12:30am at a short-term rental property. There were over 200 people attending this event and many of the partygoers were underage.
Two male victims were shot and died later at the hospital. Eight others were being treated for gun shot wounds. The police are trying to figure out the terrorist(s) involved in this shooting.
Police Chief of Pittsburgh Police Scott Schubert said that 50 rounds were fired upon a large gathering and some of the victims were injured in the malee. The property was an Airbnb. So the company and the person who owns the property will cooperate with the police in determining who allowed the event and whether alcohol was inside with underage minors.
Ed Gainey condemned the attack and said that lawmakers in Harrisburg and Washington, DC failed America's cities by not doing things to stop gun violence. It seems like a never ending issue with gun violence in our communities.
One of the shooters was caught.
Columbia, South Carolina was the scene of a mass shooting in which a group men got into a confrontation and a suspect opened fire on them.
The suspect, 22 was quickly arrested on Sunday. The suspect is being charged with unlawful carrying of pistol and two others are being sought.
The shooting at the Columbiana Centre Mall happened on Saturday afternoon.
At least 14 people were injured in the shooting. The state and FBI are determining whether this incident could be the results of gang violence or a dispute that happened before the shooting.
At least two other individuals were seen with firearms. Two males who authorities detained for questioning earlier that night were release because they had nothing to do with it.
The age of the victims range from 15 to 73 years old. Nine of them were shot and five suffered injuries trying to flee the gun violence.
The incident happened on Saturday around 2pm.
Sorry readers! Video is truncated in video length due to Twitter guidelines therefore not entirely uncensored

If you weren't aware of the last mass shooting, there was one at a gun range in Grantsville, Georgia.
A 21 year old man killed the owners of Stock and Barrel gun range. The victims, Luke Hawk, Evelyn Hawk and Tommy Hawk were found inside the facility.
The suspect is charged with three counts of malice murder (first degree murder/homicide). The suspect is facing LIFE or DEATH if convicted.
The incident happened on last Wednesday and the suspect was arrested on Friday.
The suspect stole weapons and had a cache of firearms inside his home.
Apparently their Orange God didn't save them from the bullets that hit them.
And even the "good guys" with guns didn't survive the bad guy.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
When is it the time to deal with gun violence?
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.
When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege.
Every community has a mass shooting.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult.
President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However the two Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.
The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.
So in closing, expect more.
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES!
The law caught the shooters of Lakevia Jackson, the mother of Young Thug's son.
Young Thug's son mother was gunned down in an Atlanta bowling alley. They made arrests in death of Lakevia Jackson. The suspect and a woman were arrest in the March shooting at a bowling alley.
The suspect is being charged with first degree murder and attempted murder on those who were caught in the crossfire.
The suspect was arrested in March and now is being held until his appearance this week. They delayed the appearance due to the high profile status of the victim's son's father.
"This was a relentless investigation in which we worked through the night and into the next day in trying to gather all the facts and circumstances regarding the investigation," said Lt. Ralph Woolfolk, an Atlanta Police Department homicide commander in a video statement.
The victim, 31, who has a son with Thugger was shot and killed after a dispute with a woman.
The incident happened at Metro Fun Center near 11pm. The incident was over a bowling ball and an unintentional child playing in a lane. The rapper and the victim's family did not respond to any media request.
Jackson's mother was at the bowling alley to attend a friend's birthday party and was apparently shot leaving the venue. The woman who was also arrest was taunting the victim and her best friend after she got shot.
The woman who also was arrest was the person who instigated the whole situation. She is being charged with murder as well. The fact she instigated the conflict, she was in possession of the murder weapon due to the fact the shooter was trying to get rid of it, she also tried to hide from the law along with the shooter. She is complicit in murder and she is being charged as well.
Young Thug (Jeffrey L. Williams) is a rapper, singer, actor and rap producer. He met Lakevia when he was still living in Atlanta's projects. He didn't blow up until mid-2010s. He cites Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane, Ludacris and Ye (Kanye West) as influences.
Thug has six children from different women.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. They could face LIFE or DEATH if convicted.
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES!
With Raymond "Benzino" Scott and Young Buck in the crosshairs of 50 Cent, I want to address an issue that continues to be a problem with hip-hop.
Homophobia and transphobia in hip-hop music. It's been an issue that continues to plague the billion dollar music industry. Rappers continuing to express anti-LGBTQ lyrics or threats to those who listen to their music.
What people do in their bedrooms is their business. I can't stress that enough. Why are people worried about consenting adults do in their bedrooms?
Folks like 50 Cent, Boosie Badazz and many others need to mind their motherfucking business and focus on trying to at least sell out shows at their wack ass concerts.
Last year, DaBaby made a tirade against gay men and said some offensive remarks about those living with HIV. He quickly saw how his pop god status quickly dry up. Many entertainers decided to cut ties with him and he's at the verge of being dropped from Interscope Records, the label that helped him build two successful albums and Grammy nominations.
DaBaby didn't get completely cancelled. But he did get less radio play, banned from headliner concerts and pretty much isolated in his mansion in Troutman, North Carolina. He has filmed many of his recent videos at his mansion due to fears of protesters.
He even shot an intruder on his property.
Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is a rapper, actor, media mogul and internet troll. He is also very homophobic and transphobic and folks don't seem to care about that. Given that he's at best a B-list entertainer, 50 continues to be a classic example of the "look the other way."
He's having a bad day.
Buck was literally caught up by a transgender woman named Glamour Perfekk. He had a few encounters with her and tried to help build her name in the Nashville area. But somehow Buck was playing games and Glamour decided to put his ass on blast. She recorded the encounter and the phone call in which he is tearfully pleading to her to stop sharing the sex tape. He vowed to pay her to lie about their engagement. 50 so far has been mocking him. He also had stalled all his albums due to a contract that Buck signed requiring him to obligate his recording deal with The Unit despite the group being disbanded and 50 no longer rapping on a full-time basis.
Scott is a rival of Eminem. He made his whole career on trying to take down one of the world's best rappers. Scott's grudge with Em was not only because he was white, it was because he felt that the junk food media gave Em a pass when it came to doing controversial things. Obviously Em was controversial from the start and folks had longed tried to get rid of him before Scott's feud. Scott once co-owned The Source Magazine. He nearly took the magazine down with him in this feud.
Scott's antics not only affect his career but those around him. Coi LeRay, the washed up entertainer's daughter is trying to build a name for herself and he's trying to sabotage her.
Scott's been in the hip-hop news for the last three months. Real World Police released numerous videos of his encounters with police. He was ejected from a Red Roof Inn in Brookhaven, Georgia. He was staying in a motel room with another man. "Don Diva" Cavario was in the room with him. He was arrested after threatening Althea Hart and her male friend. Scott also was revealed to have a side-fling with Shauna Brooks, a transgender model and activist.
In the past, Fif has shared countless homophobic and transphobic posts directed at Buck, and he revitalized his beef with his former group-mate back in February following his arrest for vandalism. His latest posts directed at Buck, and now Benzino, due to rumors surrounding his sexuality, appear to be a direct response to Buck’s claims about Fif’s business practices.
Being homophobic isn't cool. It's bad for business.
These old ass rappers need to retire the hate and focus on keeping their paychecks. Cause folks ain't popping their music.
Speak of that, Scott released a freestyle dissing 50 Cent, Coi LeRay, Althea Hart, Shauna Brooks and Eminem. It's called Zino vs. The Planet. I can't wait until he explains why he slept with his niece.
A condemned man has no other choice but to take a fast death or a quick death.
It's not like its a contest on which way you want to die....
State sanctioned lynching is back in America.
Richard B. Moore, 57 is the first state intern who is going to face the choice of execution methods after a law went into effect in 2021.
The South Carolina man has only a few weeks left before the death card is issued towards him. Now he will now face a death by a firing squad. If he opted out, he would have had the electric seat.
Moore was convicted of killing a store clerk in 1999. He decided that he rather go out like that.
He said that the decision was fucked up but he rather make a message to the inhumane ways state governments choose to impose the death card.
"I believe this election is forcing me to choose between two unconstitutional methods of execution, and I do not intend to waive any challenges to electrocution or firing squad by making an election."
He was convicted of killing James Mahoney in Spartanburg at a convenience store.
The state has ran out of the blend of death drugs so they decided to go back to the old ways of handling execution.
Moore's death sparks the decision of how death is carried. Back in 2010, Ronnie Gardner was given the same type of fate by the Utah Department of Corrections.
Now Moore's lawyers are asking for the state supreme court and U.S. Supreme Court to delay or halt the execution. Given that his time is only limited to two weeks and it appears that the state's Republican governor is not willing to commute the death, it's unlikely he'll get out of this situation.
South Carolina governor Karen McMaster like many of the Republican governors are trying to push culture war issues into the 2022 midterm elections. They are passing state laws to clog up the federal courts.
Many of these culture war legislations are trying to energize the Republican vote. The governors are daring President Joe Biden and Democrats to challenge their legislations. The Supreme Court is going to rule on some major decisions in June and their decision could have lasting effects on civil rights, gun laws, healthcare, women's rights, immigration, the use of presidential powers, voting rights and due process.
Conservatives want state sanctioned lynching.
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES!
Jonathan L. Kirk, known as DaBaby is no stranger to controversy when it comes to his high profile career as a hip-hop star and record producer. He moved to Troutman, North Carolina and lives in a wooded community where no trespassing means warning you could shot.
A 26-year-old man allegedly climbed the fence surrounding the property and was shot, according to an incident report from the police department. No charges were filed in the shooting as of Thursday night.
DaBaby was home at the time. The person was around the rapper's football field of his mansion.
However, it's unclear if he was the one who pulled the trigger. Troutman Police Department did not release the name of the shooter.
"I shot him in his leg," someone could be heard telling a 911 dispatcher in recordings released Thursday.
"OK. And why did you do that?" the dispatcher asked.
"He's trespassing on my property," the man told the dispatcher. "(Inaudible) about my name. I don't know what he's here for. What he's here to take. What he's here to do. He's neutralized until you guys get here."
Around 8 p.m. ET Wednesday, police arrived at the residence and found a man suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, TPD said in a statement.
"I can confirm the shooting did not occur inside the residence and that Mr. Kirk was on the property," police chief Josh Watson told CNN in an email. Watson said the investigation is in "an ongoing status" and he was not able to provide further information.
The victim was transported by Iredell County EMS to a medical facility to treat his injury, the statement said.
A manager for the rapper declined to comment Thursday.
The eight-time Grammy-nominated rapper is a North Carolina native.
DaBaby made headlines last summer when he made false and disparaging comments about gay men and HIV during a performance in Miami. The comments were quickly condemned by fans, LGBTQ+ groups and other celebrities, including Elton John, Dua Lipa and Madonna, and DaBaby later apologized.
The town of Troutman is located around 35 miles north of Charlotte.
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
