Lil Kim has laid her father to rest. The hip hop legend’s father passed after a long fought battle with Alzeimer’s. Kim said goodbye to her father surrounded by family and friends. Fellow Junior Mafia member, Lil Cease , took to social media to show love to his “sis Lil Kim” and “the entire jones family.” View this post on Instagram My Sis Lil Kim Father Passed Away Last Week!! His Services Was This Week!! Prayers & Condolences To @lilkimthequeenbee @chrisbojones & The Entire Jones Family .. Love Y’all Forever!! #MafiaFamily A post shared by LilCease (@lilcease) on Nov 1, 2019 at 1:15pm PDT Back in 2012, Lil Kim told OK Magazine that she was stepping up to take care of her father, even though their relationship was strained. “We have to feed him, because he can’t make his own food. He can’t really pour juice. He can get dressed, but we have to help him sometimes. Basically we have to help him do almost everything. He can walk around and stuff like that. And again, it’s early stages,” she said of his Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). “He remembers to do some things, but sometimes he forgets some things. Like one time, he forgot to turn off the stove, and the coffee pot caught on fire. We had to run and put it out. It was really crazy.” Continuing, “Here’s the thing – we feel and know that he has an early case of Alzheimer’s. The doctors won’t really diagnose him with it, but we know that he does. They say that it seems to be an early case of it – this is what they’re saying. But he has this shaking-jitter condition that is almost the same thing as – don’t get this wrong, because then people will be like ‘oh, her dad has M.S.’ – no, he almost has the same symptoms as a person who has Multiple Sclerosis where they shake – they shake really bad. Yes. So it’s those type of symptoms. It stems from the situation.” Even though Lil Kim is grieving the loss of her dad, she took to social media to explain that the tragedy led her to heal her relationship with Trina, who also lost a parent recently. “She comforted me and it was exactly what I needed in that moment,” she said.

Source: Nicky Nelson/WENN.com / WENN Irv Gotti has never been one to bite his tongue but he has stayed forever evasive concerning a celebrity indiscretion. Now he has no chill. As spotted on HipHopDX the record executive has long been romantically tied to Ashanti . While the rumors have persisted both he and the “Baby” songstress have denied any physical interactions—until now. On a recent visit to The Wendy Williams Show, Lorenzo admitted that the two were intimate after he separated from his wife. Naturally, Wendy couldn’t contain her inner joy as he spilled this never before brew of tea. “When me and Deb separated, she caught me cheating — this is why I’m here. Ashanti is not a home wrecker, guys! Ashanti had nothing to do with me and Deb — Deb caught me when I was directing ‘I Cry’ in Baltimore” he explained. Gotti went into detail that he too fell victim to the classic girlfriend swoop down. “Deb being the vicious person she is, she came down unannounced. She said, ‘I’m Mrs. Lorenzo. Give me the room key.’ The door was latched, but she knows I’m in there. That’s what broke me and Deb up.” But to hear the Tales producer tell it he did nothing wrong as he and his wife’s relationship was already a thing of the past. “I can’t mess with another girl until I sign the divorce papers?” he asked rhetorically.

On Sunday (Nov. 3) the former NFL quarterback was spotted in Oakland helping to feed and provide supplies for the countless homeless residents lining Tent City in partnership with his foundation, Know Your Rights Camp . Kaepernick and his girlfriend, Nessa , were handing out backpacks that were filled with snacks, socks, air quality masks, shampoo and other crucial resources. In addition to personal hygiene supplies, Colin Kaepernick also made sure that everyone had a hot meal by commissioning a food truck to feed everyone.

A post shared by Know Your Rights Camp (@yourrightscamp) on Nov 3, 2019 at 1:12pm PST According to the foundation’s website , the athlete-turned-activist’s foundation aims to “advance the liberation and well-being of Black and Brown communities through education, self-empowerment, mass-mobilization and the creation of new systems that elevate the next generation of change leaders.” “I came up with this organization as a response to the killing of Black people at the hands of law enforcement,” Colin Kaepernick said in the video posted to the foundations website. “I wanted to create a foundation that empowered future leaders and taught them how to not only deal with law enforcement but also be a part of the change because to teach them only to survive is not fair to them.” Check out the footage from the annual camp below.

Source: Daniel DeSlover / Splash News J. Cole has mastered the art of the album rollout, as evidenced by the clever way the Dreamville compilation project was put together. During a set in Las Vegas, the North Carolina star used a savvy video to announce the follow-up to his acclaimed KOD album. The Dreamville honcho was one of the closing headliners for the three-day Day N Vegas festival this past weekend and delivered another one of his crowd-pleasing sets. During one portion of his show, J. Cole rolled out a promotional video styled similarly to a presidential campaign spot. If the speculation surrounding the clip is true, this would serve as the first official announcement of an upcoming LP titled The Fall Off .
