XXXTentacion’s Ex Girlfriend & Reported Abuse Victim Responds To His Death

Source: Miami Herald / Getty On Monday, many fans and celebrities mourned the death of 20-year-old rapper XXXTentacion . Despite his tragic shooting, however, the Florida spitter didn’t leave without his critics either. XXX has had a controversial life, including grim accusations of abuse from his ex-girlfriend Geneva Ayala . In 2016, he was arrested for aggravated battery on a pregnant victim, domestic battery by strangulation, false imprisonment, and witness tampering as it pertained to Ayala. Despite Ayala’s disturbing accounts of what XXX did to her, it seems she’s still processing his death in her own way. She tweeted early Tuesday morning, “i lost someone close to me. leave me alone.” She then added, “everyone expecting me to be relieved or happy?! no, i’m broken.” You can check out her full tweets below. i know y’all don’t fuck w me, but this isn’t about me. just please stop tagging me in disrespectful threads and arguments. i honestly don’t care for any of the hype. i lost someone close to me. leave me alone. — bloodsucca (@hisl0nelystar) June 19, 2018 it’s disgusting that people are speaking for me. i don’t care if no one cared about me however many months ago, i didn’t lose my life. he did. it’s permanent. i’m still here. like how do you think that makes me feel? everyone expecting me to be relieved or happy?! no, i’m broken. — bloodsucca (@hisl0nelystar) June 19, 2018 Back in October 2016, Ayala started a GoFundMe page for surgery she would need after XXX’s alleged beatings. “There’s two fractures in my left eye socket due to an aggressive hit, along with nose and jaw fractures,” she wrote on the page. “Since these bones are fractured they’re piercing into the back of my eyeball causing damage to an optical nerve and my eye itself. The left side of my face has lost some sensation, i cannot feel my upper lip on the left side, and same for my upper teeth on the left side. And as for my left eye’s vision, it’s diminishing as the days go by. It’s crucial i get the surgery otherwise my eyeball will die and the nerve connecting my lip/cheek and teeth will eventually die as well.” Her fundraising goal was $25,000 and within an hour after news of XXX’s death, her account received over $1000 in donations. As of now, she has raised over $32,000. Meanwhile, XXX’s sales and streaming have climbed since his death. According to Complex , he currently has the No. 1 and No. 2 albums on Amazon’s Movers and Shakers Digital Music list. His last album ?  increased by 41,306 percent, while his 2017 album 17  jumped by 9,000 percent. His CDs, vinyl and iTunes sales have increased as well. We’ll continue to keep you updated if any major news should surface around XXX or Ayala.

George Zimmerman Charged With Stalking Man Who Contacted Him About Trayvon Martin Doc

Source: Pool / Getty George Zimmerman , the same man acquitted with the 2012 death of Trayvon Martin , is being charged with stalking a private investigator working on a documentary about the unarmed slain tee According to The Washington Post , the charges handed down last Thursday (May 3) claim that Zimmerman was “willfully, maliciously and repeatedly” cyberstalked and harassed the PI, Dennis Warren ,”who had contacted Zimmerman in September on behalf of Michael Gasparro , who produced the film series alongside the rapper Jay-Z, according to court documents.” WKGM reported the claim that Zimmerman called Warren 55 times, left 36 voicemails, texted him 67 times and sent 27 emails over a nine-day span. In addition, an example of his alleged stalking included texting, “Help Mrs. Warren out and give him a heads up, I’m going to find him. And I’m bringing hell with me.” That, and he suppodesdly sent a message saying: “Dennis is a [expletive] who bothered my uncle in his home … local or former law enforcement officer he’s well on his way to the inside of a gator as well. 10-4?” CBS News reported , police found Zimmerman knew about Warren and his family’s whereabouts and that “coupled with the direct references to do personal harm,” and that Warren was afraid for his safety. As we previously reported , when it comes to this documentary Zimmerman had words to Jay-Z.  He also claimed that he would feed the  4:44  rapper to the alligators too. Apparently, The Blast sat down with Zimmerman who complained that two weeks ago the film’s production team, including its producer  Michael Gasparro,  made unannounced visits to his parents and uncle’s homes in Florida in an attempt to get them on camera. Of course, he wouldn’t elaborate on what constituted harassment or whether his family agreed to be interviewed. That, and he didn’t say whether or not his ex-wife received payment for being interviewed. Well we will see how this al shakes out.

Go here to see the original:

Source: Hemi / HotSpotAtl.com Meet Hemi of Dead Play Entertainment Hemi is a recording artist from the Campbell Terrace Projects in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He is the oldest of 4 children raised in a single parent household with his mother who was only 15 years old when she birthed him. His father was in prison most of his life and his brother, Hemi’s uncle, was killed in his front yard. His other uncle was sentenced to 49 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit which left Hemi the man of the house. Hemi eventually moved with his grandmother at the age of 13 but he and his brothers raised each other as there were no other male figures. Hemi’s musical gene stems from his uncle who used to rap and had a movement in their hometown. Hemi gained popularity after releasing singles from what would become his debut project, ‘Time A Tell’ in 2017 hosted by Florida legend, Bigga Rankin. The project has been described as a street classic full of raw emotion and lyrically aggressive. The title, ‘Time A Tell’ is inspired by the facts of life, time will tell everything.  ‘Time A Tell’ is an ode to the streets of Fayetteville and features production from Cash Money A.P. and verses from local talent, Lil Ruga and Issac Perry. Each song contains stories about Hemi’s personal life and details keeping your head up during hard times.

Luann de Lesseps Defends Herself Against Blackface Backlash

Luann de Lesseps has walked smack dab into yet another scandal. But we guess the reality star should be grateful that she didn’t stumble into it drunkenly. About three months after  de Lesseps got arrested in Florida for some very wasted behavior, the veteran Bravo personality has once again found herself the subject of backlash. On Wednesday night’s Real Housewives of New York City premiere, Luann attended a Halloween party dressed like legendary singer Diana Ross. (Yes, the episode was filmed way back in October.) It was a unique costume, that’s for sure, but it didn’t take long for folks on the Internet to find a pretty big problem with it: de Lesseps is white. Ross is black. The former rocked a revealing dress and a giant afro wig for the occasion, and also clearly darkened her skin in some way. And it was this latter move that has sparked an outcry of “BLACKFACE!” from many viewers and social media users. (Blackface was a popular form of theatrical make-up used predominantly by non -black performers in the 19th century and early 20th century; it contributed, both then and now, to the spread of various racial stereotypes.) Aware of the chatter surrounding her ensemble,  Luann explained to Entertainment Tonight that she didn’t actually paint her face black. “I had makeup on, but not anything that would make me look — I had like, tanning cream on,” she told Nischelle Turner, adding that she doesn’t agree with the criticism that has come her way as a result of the costume. However, “I get it,” she notes. de Lesseps first heard from critics of this look back in November when she shared the above photo on Instagram. But the issue has now come back up due to the aforementioned Season 10 premiere. Appearing after the episode aired on Watch What Happens Live, Luann said she “horrified,” by the negative reaction, adding: “I never meant to hurt anybody’s feelings. I love Diana Ross and I totally respect Diana Ross. It was really kind of a tribute to her, and it was Halloween.” At some point, perhaps, celebrity will realize that dressing up as other celebrities isn’t really a tribute of any kind. Kourtney Kardashian learned this lesson the hard way back when she dressed up like Michael Jackson for Halloween . “I had bronzer on that I wear normally like the rest of my skin. I’m tan, like right now,” de Lesseps also told Andy Cohen on air, prior to apologizing for real: “I didn’t add anything to or would ever, ever, ever dream of doing a blackface, ever. I’m very sorry to everyone out there if I offended anyone.” And just to drive her point home, Luanna added the following on Twitter: “I would like to clear the air, I love and respect Diana Ross, this was my tribute to her I was showing my sincere admiration. “I in no way altered my skin color and I did not mean to offend anyone.” We believe her. We aren’t all that mad anymore. But it’s a pretty simple lesson for all to heed in the end: If you are white, do not dress up for Halloween like a black person. Case closed. It isn’t that complicated. View Slideshow: 17 Stars Who Really Love the Real Housewives
