Oh gawd! Big Sean Brings School Supplies To Detroit Via HuffPo reports: It wasn’t surprising that Kanye West protégé and rising star Big Sean inspired this much excitement in Detroit, his hometown. But the location was a bit out of the ordinary — as he made press rounds for his new album, “Hall of Fame,” he spent a good chunk of Thursday afternoon handing out backpacks to kids in a building normally used as a farmers market. A couple thousand students crowded Detroit Public Schools’ back-to-school fair in Eastern Market, where they could learn about careers, play educational games, do science experiments and receive supplies. Organized by the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan, new MBA students had just three days after arriving for their first semester to plan the event. “DPS needs this more than anybody,” said Big Sean (real name: Sean Anderson), who recently launched the Sean Anderson Foundation to help young people in Detroit. “Hopefully this is just the first of many events we can do to … help give back.” “I wanted to make sure that when I looked back at my life I did something that I was proud of, that I left a legacy,” he added. “Of course I make a lot of fun music, all sorts of songs, but I’m definitely going to make songs to inspire, to do my part for the community, especially for the kids in Detroit.”

Damn bruh, 24 kids?!?!?! Father Of 24 Children Found Dead In Abandoned Building In Detroit Via MyFoxDetroit The bad news came in broad daylight that 45-year-old Deon Taylor of Detroit was dead inside a building. “He was a very loving, strong man,” said daughter Deleesha Taylor. “His children are devastated. His grandchildren are devastated, and all I can say is we’re trying to deal with this. It’s hard,” said sister-in-law Ramona Harper. “I don’t know what’s going to happen now. He had 24 kids,” said sister Jacqueline Taylor. 24 children are waiting to find out who or what took their father from them far too soon. Deon’s cause of death is currently a mystery. “I’m going to miss him a lot, and I know that he’s in a better place. It just sucks that he can’t be here with us,” Deleesha said. “My father meant the world to me. There’s not a person in this world that didn’t like my dad. He got along with everybody. That’s why I don’t understand how this could happen,” said son Dwane Taylor. That is what DPD is trying to determine. Homicide was called out because how Deon took his last breath was not obvious or clear. Cops crowded the corner of Colfax and Warren in Detroit Monday searching for evidence and any possible clues. We are not going to cast aspersions on a dead man, but we will suggest to all of our readers that condoms should be used at all times when engaging in sexual activity. R.I.P.

A Michigan Burger King franchise apparently feels that when it comes to its slogan “Have It Your Way,” the way four-year-olds want it is really baked. A family found a marijuana pipe in their four-year-old’s kid’s meal box, according to reports. Instead of a Jungle Book toy, they got a glass bowl. Tight. The boy’s grandpa went to the Dundee, Mich., restaurant to pick up his burger, then discovered that fries weren’t the only item it came with on the side. Dundee Police Chief David Uhl said the pipe was full, too: “He handed the kid’s meal that he had gotten at Burger King to his 4-year-old grandson and when they opened it up they found a loaded marijuana pipe.” The boy’s parents were “on top of it,” he said, and removed the piece, which a 23-year-old employee hid in the meal box earlier while he was at work. It was then inadvertently filled with food and given to the young customer, and the employee was charged with drug and paraphernalia possession. This gets stranger still. After making the discovery, grandfather noted a “suspicious” car in the parking lot and wrote down the license plate number. The kids in the car, 18 and 20, turned out to be friends of the BK employee who attempted to warn him when cops were called in to handle the matter. They were arrested and charged with drug possession as well. Burger King said in a statement: “This Burger King restaurant is owned and operated by a franchisee who enforces a zero-tolerance drug policy.” “The franchise management team is cooperating fully with [police]. BK and the franchisee extend a sincere apology to the guests involved in this incident.” Silver lining for BK? They’re far from alone in this regard: A Wendy’s employee was seen guzzling Frosty from the machine . A Taco employee was photographed licking shells . Golden Corral stores meat by the dumpster . Taylor Chapman went on a racist rant against Dunkin Donuts employees after not receiving … check that, DD actually handled that one well.
The DJ who claims Justin Bieber spit in his face inside of a nightclub in Ohio last week has hired a lawyer and filed a police report against the singer. The man behind the allegation, Addison Ulhaq, told police trouble began on July 13 when JB’s security team thought he was taking pictures of the star. Ulhaq, who’s a junior at Ohio State University and a neuroscience major when he’s not DJ’ing on the side, says he didn’t snap ANY Justin Bieber pics . JB didn’t buy it, threatened his life and spit in his face, he claims. The police report alleges that the victim, Addison, “stated that the suspect told him that ‘His mother was a bitch, his father was a bitch and he is a bitch.'” Addison’s lawyers say Bieber’s oral assault left saliva and mucus in Addison’s eye, nose, and mouth … and that he got tested for Hepatitis as a result. The test was negative, but still … rank. The victim, according to the police report, also “stated that he does not want anything done at this time and just wants to document the incident.” It’s unclear why the college student wished to document it unless he planned to file a lawsuit, which it certainly definitely looks like he will at this point. No charges have been filed … yet.
