Source: Via Event Planner KayCee Nwasike / Via Event Planner KayCee Nwasike Offset Drops Six Figures On Christmas Gifts For Cardi Offset is still out here pulling out every stop besides being faithful to win his wife back, and his gifting for Christmas was no exception. According to Page Six , the rapper spared no expense once he was permitted back into Cardi and Kulture’s presence for the holiday. As Michelle Berk, founder of Privé Porter, the world’s largest reseller of rare (read: dumb expensive) Birkin bags told the publication, Offset called her personally looking to wow his woman with no expense spared. “Offset is bending over backwards to win her back. He called me out of the blue. He said, ‘You’ve got to help me out. I’m in deep trouble.’ I said, ‘If you want to win her back, it’s got to be an alligator Birkin.’  Offset met Berk at her suite in NYC and selected three special Birkins for his special lady, a lime green one, a black one, and one in “rose candy” — a pink color. His grand total for the three bags came to $106,000. That apparently did the trick . The source claims that when Offset presented the bags to Cardi on Christmas, “she was so ecstatic, she was crying.” “Offset is a super nice guy. He sounds like he loves her a lot.” The presents didn’t stop there. Sources claim that Offset also gave Cardi multiple pairs of her favorite “bloody shoes” Christian Louboutins, jewelry, and a couple of Chanel bags for good measure. It seems to have done the trick. Cardi is reportedly allowing Offset to tag along with her to Hawaii in the next few weeks, and they’ll get some time in for a “second honeymoon” when she has some down time.

Down For The Count: Racist Ref That Forced Wrestler To Cut His Locks Before Match Has Been Suspended & Is Under Investgation

Posted on December 23, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: AAron Ontiveroz / Getty Ref That Forced Kid To Cut Locks Before Wrestling Match Is Currently Suspended Pending An Investigation According to NBC , the New Jersey referee that forced a high-school wrestler to cut his dreadlocks right before a match has been barred from further officiating pending an investigation into the incident. The Buena Regional High School student was told at a match that his hair and headgear were not compliant with regulation and would have to instantly cut his locks or forfeit the round, according to a statement Friday from the Buena Regional School District. Video of the student having his hair cut while in tears went viral after it was circulated on social media the following day. The New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association released a statement that said it would recommend the referee to not officiate any matches until a review could be completed. “Regulations regarding hair length and legal hair covers for wrestlers are provided by the National Federation of State High School Associations,” the statement read. “At this point, the NJSIAA is working to determine the exact nature of the incident and whether an infraction occurred.”   No-loc bans are designed to oppress and shame Black people not just for expressing Blackness, but *for* their Blackness. They have no place in our society and certainly not in our schools. Until we can abolish these discriminatory practices and norms, we are all complicit. https://t.co/yaYWn2Ac0P — ACLU of New Jersey (@ACLUNJ) December 21, 2018 The NJ chapter of the “American Civil Liberties Union” also decried Maloney’s decision to cut the student’s hair, calling the rule discriminatory. “No-loc bans are designed to oppress and shame Black people not just for expressing Blackness, but for their Blackness,” the group said in a tweet. “They have no place in our society and certainly not in our schools.”

WTF?! Teenage Drunk Driver Who Killed A Young Mother Was Allegedly Served 12 Drinks At A Bar Prior To Crash

Posted on December 22, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: ugurhan / Getty 19-Year-Old Crashes After Driving Drunk Following 12 Drinks At A Bar A Texas teenager accused of causing a fatal car accident that killed a young mother allegedly consumer 12 drinks before he got behind the wheel, according to multiple reports. 23-year-old Taylor Phillips was killed on Sunday night after Erick Hernandez, 19, allegedly crashed into her SUV. Hernandez allegedly crossed three lanes of traffic while driving drunk before the collision, the  Houston Chronicle  along with local stations  KPRC  and  ABC13  report. Hernandez has been charged with intoxication manslaughter. On Wednesday, prosecutors allegedly said that a video from inside a bar showed Hernandez consuming 12 drinks, which included three tequila shots, over the course of six hours before he got into his truck to drive off. He was allegedly never asked for his ID despite being underage, which is how he recieved so many drinks. Five employees of the bar— four bartenders and one manager — were arrested for allegedly serving the teenager alcohol. Court documents obtained by the outlets show that the bar allegedly didn’t even have a liquor license and was only allowed to serve beer and wine at their facility. “Literally one minute after he left (the bar), he took the life of Ms. Phillips,” explained Sean Teare, Chief of the Vehicular Crimes Division in the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, according to reports from KPRC. “Right now there are Christmas presents under a tree for a mother who will never open them, a child who will never know his mother because of the irresponsible actions of all six individuals charged in this tragedy.” Philips’s mother, Carmen Rainer, told ABC13 on the night of the crash the Philips, her mother, and her 1-year-old son were driving home after a weekend of visiting family in New Orleans. Hernandez appeared in court on Wednesday and is now out of jail on a $30,000 bond. It is unclear whether he has an attorney and he has not entered a plea.

Deplorable: Racist Ref Forces HS wrestler To Cut Off Dreadlocks Before Match

Posted on December 21, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Grant Faint/Getty Images / Getty Racist Ref Forces Andrew Johnson To Cut His Hair The deplorable, discriminatory actions of a high school wrestling referee are going viral. People nationwide are outraged over a video of wrestler Andrew Johnson having his hair cut before a match after Ref Alan Maloney, demanded that he cut it or forfeit a match. The video was posted to Twitter by Mike Frankel of SNJ Today News who called Andrew a “team player” for being humiliated.   Epitome of a team player A referee wouldn't allow Andrew Johnson of Buena @brhschiefs to wrestle with a cover over his dreadlocks. It was either an impromptu haircut, or a forfeit. Johnson chose the haircut, then won by sudden victory in OT to help spark Buena to a win. pic.twitter.com/f6JidKNKoI — Mike Frankel (@MikeFrankelSNJ) December 20, 2018 Mind you in wrestling, wrestlers with long hair can simply compete with a wrap over their head—so why couldn’t Andrew??? NewJersey.com reports that Ref Maloney used a racial slur at a social gathering of officials in March 2016. The simple soup cookie apparently got into an arguiment over homemade wine at a social gathering and got slammed to the ground by a black official after he dropped the slur—surely you can guess which one. Maloney later told Jersey’s Courier-Post that he did not remember making the remark but accepted eyewitness accounts that he did. “You know, people do make mistakes and I apologized,” Maloney told the Courier-Post. “I really don’t think this should go any further than it’s gone anyhow. … The remark was not made to him. After he told me what I said, it was pertaining to us breaking each other’s stones. … I didn’t remember it. I was told it. I believed it and said, ‘Yo, that ain’t me.’ That’s when I called him right away and that’s when he told me we were good. “Yo…that….ain’t….me.” Get this guy the f*** outta here! What do YOU think should happen to this clotted cream curmudgeon clearly discriminating against Andrew Johnson???

People Ain’t Isht: GoFundMe For Cheetoh Trump’s Border Wall Reaches Nearly $7 Million 

Posted on December 20, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: NICHOLAS KAMM / Getty We haven’t heard Donald Trump rant about “building that WALL” for a minute now, but lo and behold, his loyal followers have kept the horrid dream alive. Florida man, Brian Kolfage, started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money online for Trump’s border wall to keep Mexicans from entering the U.S., writing, “It’s up to Americans to help out and pitch in to get this project rolling. If the 63 million people who voted for Trump each pledge $80, we can build the wall.” Kolfage’s campaign has raised nearly $7 million, with a goal of $1 billion, which is one-fifth of the $5 billion that President Trump has been demanding from Congress. As of Thursday, the fundraiser received contributions from more than 110,000 Trump supporting, racist people. Luckily, Congress hasn’t approved DT’s request for that 5 billi, but his followers are certainly trying to find a way or make one. SMH.

Posted on December 19, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: SplashNews / Splash News Trey Songz Photographed With Lori Harvey Welp! It’s been a minute since rumors circulated word that Lori Harvey freed herself from that engagement with soccer player Memphis Depay … But Lori’s single status opened her up to crush status for other celebs, like Meek Mill, who expressed his interest on his latest album in the lines “B**ch, I graduated, call me “Big Fish” (Marlin)/I got Lori Harvey on my wish list (That’s Lori)/That’s the only thing I want for Christmas (True story, uh)” which he discussed during his recent “Breakfast Club” interview . Looks like Meek wasn’t moving fast enough though. The paparazzi caught Trey Songz and Lori out at a Beverly Hills jewelry store this week and now the whole internet is wondering whether they’re together. Lori doesn’t look pleased at all to have been snapped though. Do you think she’s doing a juggling act? Or just upset to have her biz out there?
