Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Tekashi 6ix9ine Possibly Facing Life In Prison As you already know by now, Tekashi 69 was taken in by the ATF on charges of racketeering and firearm possession. We now know a little more about the charges — and potential time — that he’s facing. Both are pretty serious, to say the absolute least. According to TMZ , Tekashi is facing 6 counts, including one for firing a gun while committing a crime, which carries a possible life sentence with a mandatory minimum of 25 years served. As for the gun charge in question, the court claims that Tekashi personally committed armed robbery alongside his manager Shottie and two other Blood Gang members on April 3, robbing rival gang members at gunpoint. In addition, according to a 17-page indictment, Tekashi and his associates have been moving heavy drugs, including heroin, fentanyl, MDMA and marijuana throughout the city and committing violent gun crimes to protect the business, retaliate against rival gangmembers, and project a strong image of the Nine Trey Bloods on the streets of Brooklyn. Though Tekashi is only answering to 6 counts under his current indictment, the documents detail crimes dating as far back as 2013. The court claims that among other incidents, he ordered a hit on a rival, which resulted in one person being shot in the foot. SMH. Do you think Tekashi will manage to wiggle his way out of this one, or will he be dying his hair with kool-aid packets in the state pen? Johnnny Nunez/Getty

Source: Getty Images / Getty Images A Chipotle manager went viral over the past few days after she was seen, on video, refusing to serve a group of black customers. Now, after having fired the young woman, Chipotle is rethinking the decision. In the clips, the unidentified woman smiles at the young men while telling them “You gotta pay because you never have money when you come in here.” “Can a group of young well established African American get a bite to eat after a long workout session,” of the young men, Masud Ali, tweeted. Adding a total of four more clips to the thread on Twitter, Ali continued to call out the alleged bias with this series of tweets: “Note how this employee said “we’ve seen you guys come in twice” and later say he never saw us in his entire life….. calling the police on loyal customers is super disrespectful and uncalled for. This unacceptable and I don’t appreciate these employees making false accusations.” “I don’t like how she’s laughing like something is funny. So when a WHITE woman walks in you change your policy of “show us income before you get served” ????? So @Chipotle gonna sit here and tell me I can’t eat because they think I look like someone that stole from them before?? “Notice how they complete ignored our proof of income. @ChipotleTweets I need answers. We show you proof of income because we were getting hungry and still didn’t get serve. Makes me wonder if I was ever going to get served from the beginning.” “So we need to provide proof of income but she gets her meal for free? This is beyonddddd meeeeee.” After Chipotle caught wind of what happened, the company terminated the manager, saying “Regarding what happened at the St. Paul restaurant, the manager thought these gentlemen were the same customers from Tuesday night who weren’t able to pay for their meal. Regardless, this is not how we treat our customers and as a result, the manager has been terminated and the restaurant has been retrained to ensure something like this doesn’t happen again.” It didn’t take long for folks to come to the manager’s defense, calling Ali out for an alleged history of dining and dashing. Now, Chipotle seems to be thinking twice about kicking their employee to the curb. “Our actions were based on the facts known to us immediately after the incident, including video footage, social media posts and conversations with the customer, manager and our employees,” Chipotle chief communications officer Laurie Schalow told Fox News over the weekend. “We want to do the right thing, so after further investigation we will re-train and re-hire if the facts warrant it.” “We have spent the last few days reviewing the evidence available to us regarding the incident in St. Paul, MN. Based on our review, we have offered our manager her job back. While our normal protocol was not followed serving these customers, we publicly apologize to our manager for being put in this position. We will work to continue to ensure that we support a respectful workplace for our employees and our customers alike,” Chipotle reportedly continued.

S an Mateo County Sheriff’s Department is trying to cover up for its officers who were involved in the October Taser killing of unarmed Chinedu Valentine Okobi , a 36-year-old father and Morehouse College graduate, according to Okobi’s sister. See Also: Cover-up? Police Narrative Of Jemel Roberson’s Killing Contradicts Eyewitnesses’ Ebele Okobi took to Facebook on Sunday after she and other family members had a private viewing late last week of the police arrest videos, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. The police videos “were shocking because they contradicted, in every single particular, the statement that the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office released and to which San Mateo District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe referred in multiple news outlets after my brother’s murder,” said Okobi, Facebook’s public policy director for Africa, in her post . On Oct. 3, the sheriff’s department reported that an officer confronted Chinedu Okobi running in and out of traffic in the city of Millbrae. He allegedly assaulted a deputy who called for backup. Four other officers responded, and at least one of the officers killed Okobi with a Taser.

He was also a spoken word poet who had strong views on social issues. About 10 years ago, he began to struggle with mental health issues . Okobi’s family suspected that he may have stopped taking his medication earlier this year. 5 @SMCSheriff deputies killed #ChineduOkobi Sign the petition: Demand District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe charge these officers.

There are at least two other videos of the arrest, recorded by witnesses, that also contradict the sheriff’s department’s narrative of Chinedu Okobi being aggressive, the family said. They are urging the department to release its video to the public.

Source: Jesse Grant / Getty Mel B Says Eddie Murphy Was The Love Of Her Life Mel B has had quite the whirlwind two years, divorcing her husband of over 10 years, Stephen Belafonte, and being wrapped up in multiple court cases regarding extortion, blackmail, and physical and financial abuse allegations. But according to Melanie, it all started when she lost the love of her life, Eddie Murphy. If you’ll recall, Mel B was in a year-long relationship with Eddie which resulted in their daughter Angel…but ended up getting dumped mid-pregnancy and meeting Stephen Belafonte before even giving birth. As she tells The Sun , in promotion of her upcoming memoir “Brutally Honest,” Eddie was her one great love, but she lost it all over a misunderstanding. “I‘d been madly in love with Eddie and I lost him. Eddie was and still is the love of my life. He’s a genuinely decent man. It’s like a love story where we both have different versions of why it ended.” Apparently Mel and Eddie met at a dinner party and had instant chemistry. The two were in relationship bliss for months on end. Eddie even asked Mel’s mother if he could have her hand in marriage, and Mel designed a Cartier engagement ring. Everything seemed perfect…until Melanie began to question if Eddie needed to have his entire family (his mother Lillian, his brother Charlie, multiple other family, friends, and staff members) living under his same roof. Things came to a head when she discovered she was pregnant. Eddie was over the moon with the news. But then Mel suggested they purchase their own home together — 50/50 split — separate from the multiple friends and family he shared space with. Eddie said no, and didn’t feel it to be necessary. That’s when arguments began, and Mel got the idea to force his hand with the silent treatment. “I told Eddie, ‘I need a break for a few days. I need time to think.’ ‘Are you insane?’ he said. ‘What do you need to think about?’” She took her then 7-year-old daughter Phoenix and flew from LA to Leeds, ignoring all of Eddie’s repeated calls. After a few days away, she boarded the plane back home to work things out and see if Eddie was ready to look at things her way. But while she was on the way home, a TV reporter asked Eddie about the pregnancy and he had THIS to say: “We’re not together anymore, and I don’t know whose that child is until it comes out and has a blood test.” Mel was devastated, raging on Eddie. She let him know what he had done — making her look like a gold digging opportunist unsure of who her child’s father was — was completely unforgivable. “He said, ‘Well, you left me.’ He sounded cold. I explained I hadn’t, then said, ‘I’m going to have to leave you now as this is what you’ve done to me’. I was pregnant. Dumped in public and made to look like a complete and utter slut and gold digger. I wasn’t prepared for that tidal wave of vitriol crashing over me. I still can’t forget being heavily pregnant with Angel and dropping Phoenix to school and a man driving past yelling ‘Whore!’ at me in front of all those LA mums.” Sheesh. Welp, next thing you know. Mel met Stephen Belafonte…who ended up squandering her $90 million fortune, blackmailing her with forced sex tapes, beating her, etc for the next 11 years of her life… “Eddie had publicly dumped me, I’d just given birth to our daughter Angel, and suddenly, here was this man who found me attractive and said he wanted to look after me.” Yikes. Who knows how things would have worked out if these two just had a simple conversation rather than lashing out at one another like this? Anita Bugge/WireImage/Jesse Grant/Getty Images
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Say what you want about Cardi B and her fans, but apparently there are Bardi Gang members in very high places. TIME Magazine named their top 10 albums of 2018, and the Bronx emcee’s debut effort Invasion Of Privacy came in at number one. The publication wrote, “Invasion of Privacy delivered—not just on the dark, defensive rap that earned her legions of fans, but also with irresistible hits like the fizzy “I Like It,” which nods at her Latin roots. Cardi’s debut doesn’t just earn her a seat at hip-hop’s table—it marks her as a singular voice.” Thoughts? Check out the full list here .
