Source: Matt Winkelmeyer/ Jason LaVeris / Getty Blac Chyna has a luxurious lifestyle, and if you thought her children’s fathers are the reason why then you thought wrong. During a visit to The Morning Culture radio show on Atlanta’s V-103, the mother of two revealed that neither Tyga or Rob Kardashian provide child support. While answering a question about how being considered high maintenance affects her love life, the D.C native said she is the one funding her lifestyle. “I’m the one maintaining it. I’m the one cashing out. I don’t get no child support,” she said. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). Chyna has a son with rapper Tyga , seven-year-old King Cairo, and a three-year-old daughter with Rob Kardashian , Dream. She isn’t concerned about it, though. Blac Chyna, born Angela White, added that she doesn’t want it either. Back in March, a judge ruled that Rob Kardashian did not have to pay any child support and that he would take care of Dream’s needs when she is in his care. It was also ruled that they would split her expenses 50/50. She has a similar arrangement with Tyga. “They had an agreement, each of them would share custody and pay for their own stuff, their own childcare, nannies, food, and expenses for King,” a close source told HollywoodLife.

Source: Roberto Machado Noa / Getty Houston Popeyes Held At Gunpoint After Running Out Of Chicken Sandwiches In a story you would think could only take place somewhere in Florida , employees at a Popeyes in Houston, Texas were held at gun point last night. If you’ve been paying attention to the media lately, you can probably already guess why these folks were so pressed for some Popeyes, but we’re going to tell you what happened anyway. The Popeyes at the 7100 block of Scott Street in Houston ended up running out of the new chicken sandwich right after their daily dinner rush. This is a pretty common situation that has been highly talked about in conjunction with the sandwich , but one patron didn’t seem to get that memo. Southeast officers are at 7100 Scott. Male pulled a gun on employees of restaurant after they ran out of chicken sandwich. 202 pic.twitter.com/xC6jlmwJeD — Houston Police (@houstonpolice) September 3, 2019 When the gunmen rushed the door, employees and customers all offered up their belongings to the criminals, but surprisingly, they refused to take anything. All they wanted was some chicken sandwiches. Even when the employees ended up offering these criminals access to the safe, they declined–still demanding chicken sandwiches . Luckily for everyone involved, one smart Popeyes employee was able to lock the gunmen out and proceeded to call the police. No arrest have been made yet, but once word spreads and a little reward is offered, Houston natives probably won’t mind giving up the info.

Employees were able to lock them out. @houstonpolice responded. #abc13 pic.twitter.com/6kTYvWRUBI — Jessica Willey (@ImJessicaWilley) September 3, 2019
Tori Roloff is nearing the home stretch. By which we mean the following: Tori Roloff is getting closer and closer to bringing her new baby home! The Little People, Big World still has a ways to go, of course, considering she’s due to give birth right around Thanksgiving. But still: It’s Labor Day weekend, which marks the unofficial end of summer, which means it’s not totally crazy to start thinking about autumn and the holidays that come along with it. So… how is Roloff feeling these days? Especially when you remember how down she was at one point about this second pregnancy? Doing an Instagram Story Q&A this weekend, Tori opened up once again about her physical and mental state as she heads into her third trimester. One fan, for example, asked how the reality star feeling now that’s she’s more than halfway through her latest pregnancy. “It’s been better these days,” she replied, explaining in more detail: “Baby girl is sitting really low, so she’s making my hips and hip flexors ache pretty bad.” Another person asked how Tori’s pregnancy compares to her first with son, Jackson. “Complete opposite,” Tori responded. “Jackson was a breeze compared to this pregnancy. I could have had it way worse.” This has been a constant theme for Roloff over the past several weeks. She has often made a point not to really complain, to make it clear she’s so very grateful that a life is growing inside her womb… and yet she has also been honest. She’s confessed that this hasn’t exactly been a breeze for the last three to four months. “This pregnancy has been a lot harder on me than the last,” Roloff admitted in early July, adding: “Don’t get me wrong-I’ve been so lucky… im not sick (anymore) and I haven’t had any complications (thank the lord).” What has been the issue then? “I have had a harder time accepting my body this go around,” Tori said back then, continuing as follows: “I’ve gotten bigger a lot faster than I did with Jackson and I’ve become a lot more insecure.” Because Tori is awesome, however, she concluded this July post with an inspiring message to her followers. “Us as women are so badass. Like we can grow babies,” she wrote. “And I know I need to give this up to God right and be thankful for this gift-and I’m trying trust me. But for all those women out there-pregnant or not- you need to hear this just like I do… You’re beautiful, you’re strong, and dang it love yourself no matter what. I know someone besides just me needs to hear that today. So excuse me while I go try my best to live out these words and continue growing a freaking human being. Tori and Zack are parents to a boy named Jackson and have already confirmed that a daughter is on the way. We’re so very happy for these beloved reality stars.

N BA star LeBron James ’ impact goes far beyond the basketball court. The Akron, Ohio native has continually utilized his platform and resources to support individuals in need. According to WKYC , the Los Angeles Lakers player surprised one of the students from his I Promise School with a shopping spree just in time for the new school year. “We shouldn’t have our kids worrying about if they’re going to have pencils and bookbags. Only thing they should be worried about is how they can be a great student, a great classmate, a great brother, a great sister.” — LeBron Thank you @walmart & @kingjames pic.twitter.com/r0b7OmcU6P — I PROMISE School (@IPROMISESchool) August 30, 2019 The surprise was a part of James’ partnership with Walmart. He teamed up with the national retailer earlier this year to assist with pushing their initiatives surrounding education and hunger forward. The student, whose name is LaRiyah , was gifted with a back-to-school spree for herself and her peers at a Walmart in Kent, Ohio. For James, this act of kindness was personal. While coming of age in Akron he witnessed first-hand how school supplies can become a financial burden for families who are struggling to make ends meet. “Coming from Akron, it’s easy for me to be able to relate to anyone of my kids in school because I’ve walked those same roads, not knowing if you’re going to be able to go back to school,” said James in a statement. “To have such a great partnership with Walmart and outfit our kids with supplies, I believe is going to do something for their confidence to just hit the ground running.” The surprise was just one of a few social good projects that James is leading with Walmart. Earlier this year—as part of the Fight Hunger Spark Change campaign —James created a pantry at the I Promise School for underserved families that featured food and personal care items. James isn’t the only NBA player on a mission to provide underprivileged students with the items they need to have a good school year. In August, Kawhi Leonard teamed up with the Los Angeles-based nonprofit Baby2Baby and the L.A. Clippers Foundation to donate one million backpacks to children from low-income families.

A Black-owned real estate development firm is on a mission to address gentrification within the city of Atlanta. According to Black Enterprise , a division of the real estate company H.J. Russell & Co., dubbed Russell New Urban Development LLC, is working towards providing affordable housing for Atlanta residents impacted by the wrath of the city’s changing landscape. Black-Owned Construction Firm Revitalizes Housing Units in Atlanta to Combat Gentrification https://t.co/Xf8XPQpurw — Black Enterprise (@blackenterprise) August 27, 2019 The company completed a residential project that features 210 affordable units for families, senior citizens, and those who have disabilities. The properties are located in Old Fourth Ward and Reynoldstown. All of the units are subsidized, and residents will have to pay 30 percent of their annual income for rent. Organizers of the $22.3 million project say that they are dedicated to bridging the housing affordability gap for low-income families and are on a mission to provide quality housing for Atlantans impacted by gentrification. “Our investment to enhance affordable housing underscores our dedication to building communities, and at the same time, enhancing the living environments of some of the city’s most vulnerable residents who also deserve quality housing in the heart of Atlanta,” President of H.J. Russell & Co. H. Jerome Russell , said in a statement, according to the news outlet. “With the completion of these renovations, along with the stipulations on these projects, we have effectively preserved a significant amount of affordable housing for seniors and families in the heart of Atlanta for the next 20 years.” There has been a push to create more affordable housing options in major cities. In August, Wells Fargo announced that it would invest $1 billion over the next five years for the creation of affordable housing. “We will address three key issues in underserved communities that have been plagued by the lack of affordable housing – housing affordability, financial health and small business growth,” Candy Moore , Senior Vice President of Wells Fargo’s Community Relations and Southeast Community Development, told The Atlanta Voice . “We feel we should be doing even more to address the systematic changes in affordable housing and uncover new ways to increase the availability and sustainability of affordable housing.” SEE ALSO: Rapper Common To Invest In Transformation Of Underdeveloped South Side Chicago Property Real Estate Mogul Don Peebles To Launch $500M Fund For Underrepresented Developers [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3885832″ overlay=”true”]
Some TV character do terrible things. Like, REALLY terrible things. And these 13 are some of the worst on all of television. That's why the only satisfying conclusion for them involves them being six feet under. Have a look below. 1. Alpha – The Walking Dead Alpha is the show’s scariest villain to date, but she has killed multiple beloved characters, meaning that she has to go. Carol has to take her down in horrible fashion. 2. Jon Snow – Game of Thrones Game of Thrones may be over, but Jon had turned into a ridiculous character who became less significant in the final two seasons. He then killed the Mother of Dragons. 3. Nate – Euphoria Where do we start with this loser? Nate catfished a girl at his school and then tried to accuse her of creating child pornography to keep her silent. That was just the tip of the iceberg. 4. Frank Gallagher – Shameless Frank is the most despicable character on all of television. He would rather get drunk and high on drugs than look after his children. He’s the worst. 5. Aunt Lydia – The Handmaid’s Tale Aunt Lydia whacks the handmaids as soon as they look at her the wrong way. Every single time there’s a semblance of a human there, she does something completely horrible to someone. 6. Negan – The Walking Dead Negan is a rapist, so forgive us for not buying the hero edit he’s been getting of late. He also killed some big fan-favorites. He needs to die. View Slideshow
