The pile of money spelled B-R-O-K-E. That's really classy, 50....make fun of the real situation.
The Daily Mail reports that the 40-year-old rapper also lost a legal battle with his ex-business partners over a failed headphone deal and was slapped with a $17 million judgement in that case.
According to his Chapter 11 petition, Fifty claimed he had assets between $10 to $50 million but that his liabilities were in the same range.
Last month, he filed documents in the bankruptcy stating he only had $16 million in assets.
However, it appears appraisers checked into it all - and found his assets total over $64 million and that he only has liabilities totaling more than $36 million.
In addition, 50 Cent's current monthly income is $184,000-plus. The appraisers also valued his home goods to $131,000 including $49,000 in jewelry alone.
Appraisers found he has over $10 million in checking and stocks as well as his various G-Unit and other business' which are worth over $44 million.
His bankruptcy claims have come into question by Judge Ann Nevins, who is concerned over his actual need for bankruptcy and has asked for him to explain a series of photographs he posted to social media.
Today is his former rival Ja Rule's birthday. Ja Rule (born Jeffery Atkins) was born on February 29. He turns 40 years old today. I wonder which day would he celebrate his birthday on the off years!
I bet you money that Ja isn't sweating over money!
No disrespect to Chris Rock, I choose to not watch the 88th Academy Awards show. I am not interested in that stuff. I don't find no interest in watching entertainers show off their dresses, their new relationships, their new baby bumps or the social media buzzing about what happened.
I tend to be very reclusive when it comes to the social media and what people do. I get jealous of people bragging about their successes. Hollywood is a part of that.
Many others who struggle to get acting roles are often shunned because of their race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, political and disability. Some say it's the talent that judges you!
But given that some of the most critically acclaimed movies being shunned, I figured that I wouldn't watch this regardless. Even if a Black comic who addresses racial issues hosted it, I find no interest in awards shows. I just going to summarize it and give an honest take to what happened.
The country's most notorious racial agitator splashed this on his conservative Criagslist today.
Chris Rock's performance at the Academy Awards was good. I mean it was brutally honest. It opened up a discussion to why no person of color being nominated for an Oscar for a second time in a row.
The comedian's monologue and skits were so funny and yes really straight to the point.
The junk food media was talking about it all morning. They were picking apart every skit. They had praised Rock for being upfront about the Academy Awards being inclusive.
He took on #OscarsSoWhite.
He took jabs at fellow comedians such as Kevin Hart.
He took jabs at Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. The Smiths were boycotting the event after Jada took to the internet to protest the nomination. She and Spike Lee became the most visible faces of the #OscarsSoWhite controversy.
Leonardo DiCaprio won an Academy Award for the first time.
"What happened this year? People went nuts. Spike [Lee] got mad. Jada went mad. Will [Smith] went mad. Everyone went mad!" Rock said about all the celebs wanting to protest the Oscars. "Jada said she's not coming. I was like, ‘isn't she on TV show?' Jada's gonna boycott the Oscars? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna's panties. I wasn't invited!"
People gasped and laughed at the joke. But when Rock when back to monologue, he sympathizes with Jada and Spike Lee's grievance.
"Her man Will was not nominated for Concussion. I get it. You get mad. It's not fair that Will was this good and didn't get nominated. You're right," he said. "It's also not fair that Will was paid $20 million for Wild Wild West!"
Chris opened his monologue with a jab at the montage that played at the beginning of the show, featuring all the movies the Academy is celebrating during the show.
"I counted at least 15 black people in that montage!" he laughed. "Well, I'm here at the Academy Awards, otherwise known as the White Peoples Choice Awards."
"You realize if they nominated hosts, I wouldn't even get this job. Y'all be watching Neil Patrick Harris right now….I thought about quitting. I thought about it real hard. But I realized, they're going to have the Oscars anyway. They're not going to cancel the Oscars because I quit," Rock reasoned. "And the last thing I need is to lose another job to Kevin Hart!"
Rock was also quick to point out that a lack of diversity among nominees has always been a problem, long before this year's Oscars.
"Why this Oscars? It's the 88th Academy Awards, which means this whole 'no black nominee' has happened like 71 other times. You gotta figure it happened in the ‘50s, in the ‘60s...and black people didn't protest. You know why? Because black people had real things to protest at the time. Too busy being raped and lynched to care about who won Best Cinematographer. You know, when your grandmother is swinging from a tree, it's hard to care about Best Documentary Foreign Short."
"This year, things are going to be a little different at the Oscars," he promised. "This year in the In Memoriam package, it's just going to be black people who were shot by the cops on their way to the movies."
He also had a pretty easy solution for getting more nominations for black actors.
"If you want black people every year at the Oscars, just have black categories, like 'Best Black Friend.' And the winner for the 18th year in a row is Wanda Sykes!" Rock quipped, before finally turning serious. "What I'm trying to say is, it's not about boycotting. We want opportunity. We want the black actors to get the same opportunities as white actors. That's it! Not just once."
Chris Rock brought on Girl Scouts to sell cookies to some of the entertainers. That drew high the biggest applause of the night.
Well I heard that Leonard DeCaprio finally got his Oscar for the performance in The Reverent. From the days of being a teen actor, Leo has dreamed that day would come. He was nominated over five times and never earned an Oscar for them. Today, he is finally an award winner.
Leo's is a devoted environmentalist who believes that the time is now to get things done about climate change. And yes, he devoted his Oscar to those who struggled for this opportunity.
Vice President Joe Biden was there in attendance. He had an opportunity to introduce Grammy award winning/Oscar nominated singer/actress Lady Gaga.
Vice President Joe Biden gives message to America about sexual abuse.
Biden was pressing the audience to address sexual abuse on college campuses. This was a prime issue among the vice president and President Barack Obama.
“Despite significant progress over the last few years, too many woman and men on and off college campuses are still victims of sexual abuse,” the Veep told industry power players and the tens of millions watching on TV. “Tonight, I’m asking you to join millions of Americans including me, President Obama, the thousands of students I’ve met on college campuses and the artists here tonight to take the pledge.”
“The pledge says I will intervene in situations where consent has not or can not be given,” Biden said. “Let’s change the culture, we must and we can change the culture.”
Lady Gaga’s performance of the performance of Best Original Song nominee “Til It Happens To You” from the documentary The Hunting Ground.
Whoopi Goldberg was mistaken for Oprah Winfrey by Total Beauty.
She performed the song with victims of sexual and child abuse.
Total Beauty did the digital dash. Of course, they couldn't tell the difference between Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey.
Goldberg is an Oscar award winning actress who is the host of The View. The beauty brand company noticed that Whoopi is heavily tattooed. They expressed surprise that the person who they thought was in the photo, talk show host and actress Oprah Winfrey, had tattoos.
They said: “We had no idea @Oprah was #tatted and we love it.”
Social media went brutal on Total Beauty. The Independent reports that the hashtag “ThatsNotOprah” quickly went viral.
The mix-up prompted anger and frustration on twitter, with one user saying: “Are you fucking kidding me?!? The ONE black woman at the #Oscars and you fuck it up.”
Many people also took to social media to jokingly post pictures of white actors and deliberately name them incorrectly.
Total Beauty quickly went to social media to apologize for the error.
We’d like to apologize to Oprah and Whoopi, as well as everyone we’ve offended. It was our error, and there are no excuses. We’re sorry.
Goldberg will likely address this controversy on The View as well as her former friend who turned into a conservative agitator.
Washed up actress Stacey Dash puts her two cents into the Chris Rock performance. The actress who is also political commentator came onto stage shocking many in the audience. People didn't even recognize her. She was a part of the Rock skit for "minority outreach".
"I cannot wait to help my people out," Dash announced to a baffled audience. "Happy Black History Month!"
The reaction, both in the live audience where even Oscar nominated/Grammy award winning singer The Weeknd was like "What the fuck!"
While many panned her for even showing up, Dash basically laughed it off. "When they added ME to increase the diversity, I'm sure many Black people rolled their eyes. I'm not 'Black enough', they say. But guess what? I've heard that all my life. I would rather be a free thinking Black than a cookie cutter Black who thinks and votes---just like all my friends".
Well here's a clue for the "Clueless". Dash, you're the cookie cutter and you're baked!
Anyway when the Nielsen ratings come out, we'll find out if the viewership is high or low!
Three young men were murdered in cold blood. The junk food media calls it a local story. The men were Muslim-Americans.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES!
It happens in my own backyard. I mean there was a shooting in Dayton, Ohio. A pastor was gunned down by his own family member. The terrorist was arrested without any incident.
A Virginia officer who was sworn to duty one day earlier was gunned down in Woodbridge. The terrorist was an Army staff sergeant who had clearance at the Pentagon. The terrorist murdered his wife after a domestic dispute. The suspect was arrested without any incident.
Now as expected, the agitators in the junk food media are going to discuss these tragedies. I mean it's common that the first thing that comes up is the fact the terrorists were "NICE GUYS".
The terrorists had run-ins with law enforcement or never had a criminal history. The terrorists were experiencing some issue. It could have been a dispute between family, friends or community.
These shootings have gotten major attention in the junk food media.
Well in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the city is mourning the death of three men who were killed execution style. These three Muslim-American men were murdered in a neighborhood a few miles from downtown.
The Muslim-American community and many religious leaders are upset that the junk food media isn't spotlighting this horrible tragedy.
The shooting on Lewis Street in Fort Wayne didn't get notice until now!
This incident happened on Wednesday night. This was before the Republican debate and the Kalamazoo terrorist shooting on Thursday. Kalamazoo is 123 miles from Fort Wayne.
Fort Wayne's public safety director Rusty York told a local ABC affiliate, 21 Alive, that there was “no reason to believe this was any type of hate crime, or focused because of their religion or their nationality whatsoever.”
He even noted that the house, rented out by a landlord who lives elsewhere, had become a place where young men of African descent often got together for parties.
The Fort Wayne Police Department did not offer The Huffington Post any additional comment about the suspected motive on Sunday.
Hamzah Sharif, the imam of the Islamic Center of Fort Wayne, did not mention a possible motive in a Facebook message about the young men’s funeral. He instead lauded the presence of the town’s other communities of faith at the service.
“All of [the] Fort Wayne community showed unity and solidarity against violence and stood together to pray for the three young men along with their families,” Sharif wrote.
Ahmed Abdelmageed, director of experiential education at Manchester University’s college of pharmacy in Fort Wayne, acknowledged that the deaths were an especially painful blow for Muslims, but warned against assuming it was a hate crime.
“‘Execution Style’ and the word ‘Muslim’ have certainly been forever ingrained in the minds of American Muslims and they trigger painful images of 3 beautiful souls lost for simply being Muslim,” Abdelmageed wrote on Facebook. “I caution however that the reason does not appear to be related to them being Muslim.”
The Klan is on the rise. The anti-Black, anti-Immigrant and anti-Muslim rhetoric from Republicans has become recruitment tools for White extremists.
But the incident comes amid a wave of anti-Muslim incidents in the wake of the November terror attack in Paris, increasing the possibility that the triple killing was motivated by prejudice.
Some people, many of them other Muslims, took to social media to question law enforcement’s contention that the crime was unrelated to the Islamic faith of the victims, and to call for an investigation of the killings as a hate crime.
The victims Mohamed Taha Omar, Adam K. Mekki and Muhannad A. Tairab were found in a house with slugs in their heads.
The Fort Wayne Police and the FBI are certain this event wasn't a "gang related situation". They don't know if its either a "hate crime" a "murder-suicide" or a "terrorist attack".
What we know, it's a mass shooting and I don't know who the shooter was! The FBI is actively searching for the persons involved in this horrible tragedy.
Hence forth the blame game.
Who deserves the blame in the death of three Muslim men killed in Indiana?
Obviously I know what happens when I place a poll together. I expect someone to blame entities other than the shooter. The shooter deserves the blame for this.
The junk food media doesn't often cover every controversy and selective outrage is noted among the latest topics de jour.
World News Today send our condolences to the families of Mohamed Taha Omar, Adam K. Mekki and Muhannad A. Tairab.
U.S. Army sergeant kills a first year officer on her first night.
Now as another tragic gun shooting happened in Virginia. This one involved an Army staff sergeant assigned to the Pentagon. The terrorist murdered his wife and an officer who worked for the Prince William County police department.
The terrorist named Ronald Williams Hamilton murdered his wife Crystal and then went into combat mode and aimed at three officers. One officer who was hit was Ashley Guindon, a first year rookie. Ashley was a Marine combat veteran who started as an intern for the police department.
Matter of fact, she was sworn to duty a few days ago. This was the officer's first shift on Saturday night.
The terrorist killed his wife Crystal Hamilton and a Virginia officer.
The Associated Press and Washington Post report that the terrorist is suspected of killing his wife and the officer in his home in Woodbridge, a city about 25 miles from Washington, DC.
He faces capital murder and this charge alone in Virginia carries the PILL KILL (DEATH SENTENCE). Matter of fact, he will automatically face a court martial. The terrorist is innocent until proven guilty.
"We ask for everyone's thoughts and prayers as our department deals with this tragic loss," the Prince Williams County police department released to the press.
The other officers were injured were Jesse Hempen and David McKeown. They were treated for their injuries and will survive the shooting.
Of course, the problem that is missing from the equation is the fact that this terrorist had mental issues or was the "NICE GUY" with a gun.
Terrorist held on capital murder of an officer and his wife.
A domestic dispute lead to the police encounter. The suspect prepared for their arrival. He used his military training and quickly took to action when the officers approached his door.
He shot that officer at a pointed angle where it hit her in the neck. That injury alone killed her upon impact.
Of course, since the victims were White and the suspect was Black, here comes the goddamn blame game.
Who deserves the blame in the death of a Virginia police officer?
Right now, that racial extremist Bill Cunningham is making light of controversies in Kansas, Ohio, and Virginia. Instead of blaming the shooter, the racial extremists would fault the president and #BlackLivesMatter for the shooting. Cunningham and other racial extremists would deliberately make the race of the suspect an issue.
Cunningham is a notorious race baiter who has a radio program in Cincinnati. He also has a syndicated talk show on many CW stations. He's rewarded for spewing hate.
The conservatives are now hyping up Black on Whatever violence. The incidents in Kansas, Ohio, and now Virginia have gotten much attention because the suspects are Black.
No mentions of the Kalamazoo terrorist by Bill Cunningham or Colin Flaherty. No mentions of the Klan clashing with protesters in California. Three people were injured by a stabbing. One of the Klan members had a pointed flag pole. That Klan man stabbed three and one gotten critical injuries.
No mentions of the execution style murders of three innocent Muslim men in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
No mentions of the murder-suicide and police shooting in Washington state.
Yeah, you never hear that in the news. It doesn't fit the narrative.
World News Today sends our condolences to the families of Crystal Hamilton and Ashley Guindon.
We also send our condolences to the victims of gun violence mentioned and not mentioned by the junk food media. We condemn the agitators who exploit these tragedies for political blame.
Tragedy in Dayton, Ohio. A pastor of a local church was gunned down by his own brother. The Dayton Police and FBI are investigating the suspect and trying to pen a motive.
Of course, we obviously assume it was a domestic violence dispute but given the mass shootings in the United States, I have to conclude any event that involves firearms as an act of terrorism.
This terrorist Daniel Schooler murdered his brother Pastor William Schooler at Sunday service today.
Terrorist held in lockup on capital murder.
The St. Peter's Missionary Baptist Church was the site of the fatal shooting. The church is on the southwestern tip of Dayton in the Highview Hills neighborhood.
The family of the victim knew that this terrorist had mental issues. They believe that terrorist had a feud with his brother. Willaim Schooler was shot at point blank range at his private office.
Schooler was a former Dayton Public Schools Board of Education member.
Friend and fellow community leader Ronnie Moreland, director of government affairs for the Community Progress Institute, said Schooler was the current president of the Baptist Ministers Union in Dayton. “He had deep roots in the community,” Moreland said. “He was a beloved leader. It’s hard to put into words what has happened.”
The terrorist had run-ins with the law. Most of the issues included drug abuse and firearms.
The terrorist was arrested without incident at the scene by Dayton Police and taken to the Montgomery County lockup. Detectives plan to meet with Montgomery County prosecutors in the coming days to discuss formal charges.
This could carry the PILL KILL (DEATH SENTENCE).
The terrorist is innocent until proven guilty.
The Blame Game......Obviously we know where I'm going with this!
Who deserves the blame in the death of an Ohio Pastor?
World News Today send our condolences to the family of William Schooler.
Pro-confederate lawmaker Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) endorses Donald Trump. Sessions's endorsement is a blow to the Ted Cruz campaign.
Just when you thought David Duke was a horrible endorsement.
Here comes two Republicans who have a notorious history of supporting White extremism. Matter of fact, the Ted Cruz presidential campaign was hoping for these endorsements. But it turns out to be a "HUGE" endorsement for the media mogul.
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Maine governor Paul LePage have both came out and endorsed Donald Trump for president.
Sessions has a staunch opposition towards immigration. He ended up making this endorsement today and it stings. Especially against Ted Cruz, his fellow senator who once was the darling of the insurgency. The insurgency is not into Cruz and Sessions's endorsement of Trump is blow to the campaign. Session is pro-confederate and is a leading advocate towards stripping the safety net from the poor.
LePage is pretty much another bigot for the record. This year he attributed the rising deaths to heroin to Black criminals immigrating to his state with the boy.
These endorsements are a sign of how the Trump campaign is destroying the party. Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Ben Carson are trying to reach out to minority voters. Trump is reaching out to disgruntled White people who were disappointed with Republicans inept offensive against President Barack Obama.
Matter of fact, Trump has tapped into the extremist wing of the party. The party that advocates the notion that "black mob violence" exists. That immigrants are "criminals", "dope pushers" and having "anchor babies" by the boatload.
On GOP Sundays, Trump won't disavow the endorsement from Duke.
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) resigns from the DNC. She formally endorsed Bernie Sanders for president.
GOP Sundays are sure interesting. Donald Trump is the headliner of the day. On all the networks and CNN, Trump will get a lot of airtime given the GOP debate and Super Tuesday. If Trump sweeps the primary, he will become the presumptive nominee.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) also got some fair time on the air. Of course, the agitators are asking about his failure to secure the Black vote after the South Carolina primary loss. The candidate is telling the junk food media that you shouldn't count him out. He's working to win states that Clinton is struggling in.
Chuck Todd interviews Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI). The conservative leaning lawmaker announced today she's exiting the Democratic National Committee. She thrown her support to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) for the Democratic nomination.
The lawmaker was born in American Samoa, the U.S. territory that has residents fighting for American citizenship. She is the first Hindu woman elected from the state. She is of Indian-American decent and is one of the few active military officers elected to Congress. She is one of the youngest members of the Congress.
Gabbard is feuding with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), the current chairwoman of the DNC. They are fighting over the debates and the lackluster excitement of the candidates. Gabbard accused Schultz of being in the tank for Hillary Clinton. She says that the debates were lowered and placed on nights that people aren't watching.
I got an opportunity to hear the two struggling presidential candidates from the Republican side complain about how Trump and the junk food media are shutting them down. All on a network that's pretty damn friendly to them.
Chris Wallace interviews Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on his struggling campaign. The two get really into it. Wallace ask the lawmaker about Trump's accusations of him being a liar. Cruz was really pissed when the interview ended. Wallace and Cruz usually had a friendly encounter. But when it came down to hard questions, Cruz will say that it's liberal tactics. Cruz did manage to bring up the White extremists who refuse to support him. The White extremists are throwing their support behind Trump which is showing that the party is inviting dangerous elements into its fold. Not like it hasn't.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) also addressing Trump's attacks on his personality. The Florida lawmaker is now wasting his time going after Trump's personal appearance. He came out with the #NeverTrump hashtag. That hashtag was being swamped by #AlwaysTrump. Rubio went after Trump's horrible tan and his failed business dealings. Rubio even cracked a couple of jokes. It's not working. Trump hit back with splashing water and his makeup to hide the sweat. Also the tag of being a "choke artist" is sticking.
