They come back from school and bring up different words and different things… My son plays soccer and he goes through this thing where they like to use the N-word with him a lot.” Cane asked if it was Black kids or white kids using the racial slur and Swizz explained it was Mexican kids on his soccer team. He continued, “Before I would’ve been aggressive, I would have had a different outlook. But I just had to tell him, ‘We can’t move forward with using ignorance with ignorance, right?’ If I go up to his game and step to that person’s dad, that doesn’t turn into the right thing.” He then added, “So I just simply tell him, ‘Look man, when people call you those names, it just lets you know who they want to be. They just don’t know how to tell you that you did good today.’ I said, ‘Let people call you whatever they want to call you. They can’t touch you though, but let people call you whatever  they want to call you because that’s just their way of letting you know that they love you. They just can’t express it. Right? And just turn the negativity into your drive and and play a harder game.’ When they come in tell them, ‘You liked the way I won that game today. Right? I know you love me. Don’t worry. I’m gonna beat you again next time.” Listen to the clip below: https://m.soundcloud.com/siriusxm/swizz-beatz-on-his-son-dealing-with-racism Swizz has five sons, four being boys.

Dave East Cited For Battery After Struggle Ménage à Trois In Vegas

See the article here:

Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN Dave East was living the life while in Las Vegas when ish went left, drastically. The NYC rapper and actor was cited for battery after allegedly getting into an altercation during a threesome gone wrong. No wonder he chilled on the Xanax . Reports TMZ : The New York rapper was cited last weekend in Las Vegas after cops interviewed multiple witnesses to an altercation he and 2 women allegedly got into following an appearance Saturday night at Drai’s Nightclub. According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, Dave invited 2 women back to his room at the Delano hotel and started having sex with them. From Dave’s POV, he told officers that 1 woman was upset he wasn’t giving her as much attention … and flipped out. Dave told cops she started hurling champagne bottles at him from across the room, and 2 of ’em made contact … striking him in the head and leaving cuts — which cops saw — on his arm and leg. As for the woman’s version … she told officers that in the middle of the sexual encounter, she and Dave got into an argument, and he threw punches 5-6 times, with one hitting her arm. She said she ran to the bathroom to call cops. She made no mention of bottles being thrown. Other witnesses included a third woman who entered the room once the argument started and one of Dave’s friends. The woman said Dave was the aggressor, while his buddy only saw the woman hurling bottles. Obviously, a he-said, she-said situation. No one was arrested, but both East and the woman were cited for battery, and treated for their injuries in separate hospitals. The rapper’s attorney, Stacey Richman, vehemently denies the allegations, only noting that Dave East did put the woman out of the room for the sake of everyone else’s safety. You can catch Dave East playing Method Man in Hulu’s Wu-Tang: An American Saga .
