Source: C.Smith/ WENN.com / WENN Aretha Franklin’s Handwritten Wills Discovered By Her Niece Aretha Franklin’s niece, Sabrina Owens–who is also the personal representative of Franklin’s estate–has reportedly found the late singer’s handwritten wills, according to reports via the Associated Press . These newly discovered wills were filed in probate court in Oakland County, Michigan on Monday. The three wills were discovered by Owens after she came across a key for a locked cabinet. Two of the wills, from 2010, were found in said cabinet while the third will, from March 2014, was uncovered under the cushions of a couch. It was previously thought that Franklin left no will behind, until Owens found all three of thesewills in the same day at Franklin’s home. The documents from 2014 detail which assets should be left to Franklin’s family members. A statement from Owens says, “she remains neutral and wishes that all parties involved make wise choices on behalf of their mother, her rich legacy, the family and the Aretha Franklin estate…” “If it’s clear and convincing evidence of your intentions, it’s a perfectly valid document,” Patrick Simasko, an estate specialist, told AP. “The court wants to do everything in its power to fulfill the wishes of the person who passed away.” In the documents, Franklin requests that her son, Kecalf Franklin, be the personal representative of the estate. Franklin’s sons previously agreed to Owens overseeing the estate. A hearing to confirm the validity of the wills is scheduled to happen on June 12.

According to Harvard they select their students based on “professional achievement and organizational responsibilities” and once in that specific program their lessons will help them level up something serious. Students in the program will learn how to “develop and execute more effective business strategies,” “debate and analyze the business and technology trends that are redefining the industry” and “learn how to launch and manage creative products and portfolios more strategically.” Ciara’s about to become a beast in the entertainment industry.

Source: Timothy Norris / Getty Gemini season officially begins on Tuesday, May 21. According to astrologists, this season brings a sense of wonder, curiosity, and amusement to everyone, not just those with their birthdays over the next few weeks. The season is ruled by the chatty astrological Twins and may cause people of all zodiac signs to feel more inclined to keep busy with exploring new ideas and thoughts. In astrology, the term “season” refers to the 30-day period the sun spends visiting a zodiac sign. During this time, the essence of that particular sign will have a major influence on everyone, regardless of which Sun sign a person belongs to. This brings us to the season of the Gemini, which is simultaneously the best and the worst sign we can all be ruled by. There’s really no denying that Geminis catch more heat then any other sign–but it’s not without good reason. People will crack jokes about Geminis all year round, but now, with their season in full swing, the tweets about the twins and their many…unique…traits are around every corner. If you don’t personally know anyone who falls under this particular astrological sign, let’s look at a few celebrities who might be able to help you get a good understanding of what they’re all about. Kanye West , Kendrick Lamar , Tupac , and Andre 3000 are all Geminis–so does that mean there’s something about these next 4 weeks that brings out some really amazing rapping? Well, probably not, but a lot of their traits lend themselves to things that are perfect for getting into entertainment like being creative, loving to talk a lot, and wanting to entertain large groups of people. With such incredible artists representing the Geminis, you might be wondering why they catch such a bad rap. Like we mentioned before, Geminis are represented by The Twins, and that causes some issues among Geminis and those around them. Here’s how Astrology.com explains their ever-changing personalities: “The Gemini-born can easily see both sides of an issue, a wonderfully practical quality. Less practical is the fact that you’re not sure which Twin will show up half the time. Geminis may not know who’s showing up either, which can prompt others to consider them fickle and restless. They can be wishy-washy, too, changing their mood on a simple whim.” But enough explanation, let’s get to the jokes.

Investigators claim it as possible the two were in a relationship. Jeff McCutchen, interim chief with the Oxford Police Department said, “We want to assure you that we will not hide behind our badge. Our hearts go out to the family of Dominique Clayton. To the family, we thank you for your patience and your trust in us to see this through.” There have not been many details releases about her death but WREG says, “A family member said Monday that Clayton’s body was lying on her bed and there was a lot of blood on the back of her head.” Dominique’s sister Shyjaun Clayton said she’s disappointed there aren’t more details about Kinne’s arrest, saying, “Hopefully he’ll get convicted. We’ll get justice for my sister.” See his photo below: CONFIRMED: Oxford Police Interim Chief Jeff McCutchen says Oxford Police Officer Matthew Kinne was involved with the victim, Dominique Clayton. pic.twitter.com/1Qgpzg88WF — Morgan Burger (@MorganBurgerTV) May 21, 2019 A neighbor who claimed to be home on Sunday said he heard commotion at Clayton’s house, “Her children found her. They went out the house crying, screaming. A man who lives down the street from us, he went over there and found her too.” Mathew Kine, who has been with the Oxford Police Department for four years, will reportedly be in court tomorrow. Our thoughts are with Dominique Clayton’s friends, family and four children. We hope they receive justice.

Source: Francine Orr / Getty The man, Eric Holder, who was seen shooting and killing Nipsey Hussle on video footage has been indicted. New charges were also added by the Grand Jury. Previously, Holder was charged with murder, 2 counts of attempted murder and possession of a firearm by a felon by the L.A. County District Attorney. However, after revisiting the case the D.A. added a pair of assault with a firearm charges for the victims who were fortunate enough to survive. Holder shot and killed Nipsey in front of the Marathon clothing store he owned on March 31 and pleaded not guilty as his arraignment on April 4. His previously lawyer, that Christopher Darden, recently stepped down citing death threats. Justice can’t be served fast enough. Rest in powerful peace Nipsey Hussle. — Photo: Getty

(Photo by Thaddaeus McAdams/FilmMagic) Real talk, we might just have to make this DJ Khaled video week because it doesn’t seem like he’s going to be taking a break from dropping new clips anytime soon. This time around he once again links up with Meek Mill and Lil Baby for the black and white visual to “Weather The Storm” where the three take us to church and drop the ghetto gospel about the beauty of the struggle that can make or break any man or woman. Megan Thee Stallion meanwhile continues to make her case for the hottest upcoming female rapper in the game as she rolls with her stable of murda mamis in her clip to “Realer.” Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from Ayo 215 featuring Lil Baby, Lil Skies, and more.
