Be honest, at one point in time, you thought about cursing out your co-workers too. Before quitting his job at Walmart, one Grand Prairie teen did just that. Jackson Racicot dialed into the intercom system of the department store and let shopper and fellow employees know just how fed up he was with working there. The 17-year ranted, I’ve been a loyal employee here for a year and a half and I’m sick of all the bulls—t, bogus write-ups and my job. F*** management, f*** this job and f*** Walmart. Walmart released a statement on Friday, saying: “We are aware of the video circulating online and are disappointed by this incident. Respect for all individuals including our associates and customers is a core value at Walmart. We are looking into this matter and will address it internally as required.” Did Racicot take it too far — or does he have a point?
Source: Bryan Bedder / Getty Power Crew Member Dies On Set After Accident While Shooting An extremely unfortunate accident on the sixth season of Power has left a longtime production assistant dead. Pedro Jimenez was fatally struck by a SUV at around 4:30 AM ET on Monday while setting up parking cones for a Brooklyn location shoot for the series. “We are deeply saddened by the loss of one of the members of our Power family,” a Starz spokesperson told Deadline following the death of the 63-year old Parking PA. “Our thoughts are with Mr. Jimenez’ family as we work to fully understand what has happened.” Jimenez has been with the series since its first day of production when Power debuted back in 2014. NYPD officials say that they are investigating the incident and have spoken to the driver of the 2006 Ford Explorer that hit Jimenez; The driver was also a member of the Power crew. In the midst of the filming for the upcoming season of the drama series executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Power has temporarily shut down production following the horrible incident. This move is of course out of respect for the family of Jimenez, which was informed of his death almost immediately after he was pronounced dead by medical authorities at Brooklyn Hospital this morning. Sources also told Deadline that the halting of filming also will allow crew members and cast on the series starring Omari Hardwick, Naturi Naughton, Lela Loren and Joseph Sikora deal with the loss. No cast members were on set when Jimenez occurred, as their call time was not until 7 AM ET, almost 3 hours later. As of now, there’s no word on when production will resume, but a planned holiday break on the show is coming up soon, so the shutdown could go into early 2019.

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Chief Keef Reveals More Kids With More Women In Court Before today, Chief Keef was known to be the father of 5 children–but now, it looks like he’s actually got some more on the low….a lot more. According to court documents obtained by the people over at TMZ , Keef has 4 more children under the age of 5, and they all have different mothers who are all seeking child support. The reveal of these family additions happened while the rapper was in court, making his official kid count a whopping 9. A judge is now ordering that Chief Keef pay each woman $564 in child support per month, starting in January. As TMZ points out, the “I Don’t Like” rapper could practically fill his own daycare at this point following the reveal of these new children, because all 4 of the recently revealed kids are under the age of 5. Keef’s clan now includes 3-year-old Kamiah, 1-year-old Khalo, and 4-year-olds Khalil and Kirsten. Once again, all different mothers. Though $564 a month doesn’t seem like a whole lot for a rapper’s child support–even when multiplied by 4–this might mean that the Chicago native will have to cut back on some of his expenses. Chief claims he’s a self-employed musician making roughly $9k a month with $9k in expenses, but he’ll have to fit that child support in there somewhere.
Source: Paras Griffin/Prince Williams/ATLPics.Net / Getty Doppelganger drama… Lil Mama Says She Wants To Slap Bow Wow Lil Mama recently told her doppelganger exactly how she felt about him. The “Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta” sent a stern warning to Bow Wow this weekend after he alleged that she was “pushing up on him” and hinted to his friend BT that she was “easy.” According to Mama, that’s one of several things that Bow’s got completely wrong on the most recent episode of #GUHHATL. Mama uploaded several videos to her Instagram shunning her former friend for spreading rumors about her. “I want to start this off just by saying you played yourself, kid,” Mama said. “Bow Wow, you know, that in all the years that I’ve ever known you, you have never known a n****r to f**k me in a week. So to even give BT advice like ‘Oh y’all gonna be f**king in a week.’ you’re being a clown.” She also added that when she invited him to go with her to New York, it was for business purposes only. “I was trying to bring you around some real n****s. You want to commit suicide one day. You’re going crazy here. You’re going crazy there. I come from a grounded environment that I was trying to bring you to. We’re doing a TV show. We’re creating content. You are far from the type of man that I could see myself being with, sleeping with or anything of that nature.” Here’s the clip where Mama invited Bow to New York after he asked her to go on a blind date with a friend. Ooop! She also added in another video that she would flat out “slap the s***” outta Bow Wow “PERIOD.” Bow’s since responded and he’s joking that his lookalike is “beefing with her own self.” Source: Paras Griffin / Getty See more of Lil Mama shutting down Bow Wow on the flip.

Now, it looks like the rapper is not planning on keeping quiet about the situation; Cardi commented on the topic during a performance at Chicago’s B96 Jingle Bash concert on Saturday night. The show took place at AllState Arena with Cardi B performing along with other big names like Mike Posner, Shawn Mendez, and Camila Cabello. Cardi had an exciting set, as always, where she performed her own hits, but also gave the crowd a taste of her verse from her Migos collab, “MotorSport.” During her brand new rendition of the song, she switched some lines up to reflect the recent nature of the relationship with her husband. Instead of rapping the original lyrics of, “I get up set off/I turn Offset on/I told him the other day/Man, we should sell that porn,” Cardi rhymes, “I get up set off/I turn Offset on/I told him the other day/Yeah, we gon’ get a divorce.” PLEASE. BELCALIS. pic.twitter.com/Py9QlYrgNM — (@fentybardi) December 9, 2018 Cardi shocked fans when she announced on Instagram that the couple was on their way to splitsville. “I been trying to work things out with my baby father for a hot minute now,” she said in her now-deleted video. “And it’s nobody’s fault. It’s just like I guess we grew out of love. But we’re not together anymore. I don’t know it might take time to get a divorce. And I’m going to always have a lot of love for him because he is my daughter’s father and yeah.” Many people online have been hoping that the Bronx native and her ATL counterpart patch things up before their divorce becomes a reality–but it looks like Cardi is doubling down on her plans to become a single lady once again.
