Joe Jackson Flashes Gun to Room Full of People

Joe Jackson is STRAPPED, and he’s not afraid to use it. Joe Jackson Gun The 84-year-old flashed his gun to a room full of people during a speech, telling them it’s just like the American Express card – you don’t leave home without it. The bizarre moment went down while Michael Jackson’s dad was at the Tuscany Hotel and Casino in Vegas this weekend to be honored at the Black Music Awards. Joe was introduced by his friend, Majestik, who told the crowd a story about Joe confronting Michael Jackson’s bodyguards two weeks before the icon’s death. During the confrontation, Majestik says Joe flashed his gun and said, “If I hear you all givin’ my son drugs or doing anything illegal with my son … I’mma kill all of you.” When Majestik turned the mic over to Joe, he said. “It’s very true. Every word he said.” Then Joe told the crowd, “I carry a piece everywhere I go … I’m gonna show it to you.” And so he did. “I’ve been threatened a lot of times and so I need to be safe,” he added. Hope he’s got a permit for that.

Jill Scott Says Chappelle Block Party “Was Not Fun”

Read the original:

Dave Chappelle’s Block Party in 2004 will go down as one of the coolest outdoor concert experiences of the last ten years.  R&B star Jill Scott was one of the featured performers and tore down the stage with Erykah Badu during a rendition of “You Got Me.” Now if you watch footage from the movie (released in 2006) Jill was very pleasant and easy going back stage, even with her pimple named “Herbert”. But in a recent interview with TheHuffingtonPost she admitted that being back stage wasn’t all fun for her. MR : You’re in a certain Dave Chappelle’s Block Party flick. That must have been fun. JS : That was not fun for me. It was a great experience, however it wasn’t fun. The only reason I say that is I typically work a certain kind of way. There were so many people and so much energy that it was hard for me to find a space to just be for a moment, straight from a crowd of people to the stage, which is not normally what I do. I remember being thoroughly exhausted when that was over, but very proud of the outcome. I still watch it now and then and I think, “Wow, what a great experience.” READ FULL INTERVIEW AT HUFFINGTONPOST.COM RELATED POSTS: You Voted: Jill Scott Represents Black Music in 2011!
