Musician Set Himself On Fire And Ran Inside Ex-Girlfriend’s Bar On Facebook Live Facebook Live is again the online vehicle that another disturbed person has chosen to broadcast their death. According to WREG , 33-year-old Memphis, Tennessee musician Jared McLemore logged on to Facebook Live, soaked himself in kerosene, set himself on fire and ran inside the bar where his ex-girlfriend works. “This overwhelming smell of kerosene filled the room” said Jim Duckworth, who had just finished playing a set with his band, Billie Dove. “Before you see anything, the smell filled the room.” Duckworth and his girlfriend and bandmate, Kimberly Koehler, said some people froze in fear, wondering if it was a stunt. “It looked like a movie, like someone wearing a flame-retardant suit,” Koehler said. “There were some people who thought that it was a joke.” McLemores’s girlfriend had a restraining order against him due to a long history of domestic violence incidents over the years, but it’s said he refused to stay away from her. The police report states that another man suffered serious burns when trying to kick the lighter out of McLemore’s hand prior to setting himself ablaze. This going “live” to die thing has got to stop. Image via Getty/Instagram
Messy marriage drama…. Tiny Confronts T.I. On “Family Hustle” About Distraction Comments As their divorce continues, fans will see the shocking moment when T.I. and Tiny face off over his “distracting” marriage comments. As previously reported Tip was blasted back to “Trap Muzik” when he selfishly told Angie Martinez that his marriage to Tiny is a “distraction.” “It seems to me that marriage and what marriage means and what marriage does — it’s just one of those things that’s going to distract me and deter me,” said Tip. “And that could be selfish, but ultimately, I’m the patriarch of this family. And it’s my responsibility to take us onward and upward. I just have a purpose and I don’t always have the time to do the thoughtful and considerate thing that a husband should do.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxBdZeCGjHc And Tiny revealed that when she asked him about the hurtful comments, he was baffled by her reaction and didn’t think he said anything wrong. “I didn’t say anything bad about you,” Tip reportedly told his wife. Now fans will see for themselves what really went down when Tiny confronted Tip—and it ain’t pretty. On the next episode of VH1’s “Family Hustle” Tiny will face off with T.I. and ask him why he called their marriage a “distraction.” “The marriage is distracting me from my greatness,” says Tip. “I tried being a husband, I obviously wasn’t that good at it.” “You have to respect your woman,” says Tiny. “You signed up to be a husband!” “You keep on taking words and God damn twisting them,” replies Tip. Oh dear. https://www.instagram.com/p/BUAhw8WFb8k/ Will you be watching “Family Hustle”??? More on the flip. Getty Images Tiny recently posted about being a queen and “weak men” running from her. https://www.instagram.com/p/BT7IQOSFOpp/?taken-by=majorgirl It looks like Tiny might be getting her own “Family Hustle” spinoff “Being Tameka Harris.” https://www.instagram.com/p/BT_9ZZXFwuI/?taken-by=majorgirl Tiny spent Mother’s Day will her boatload of babies. https://www.instagram.com/p/BUGJUlMFBdQ/?taken-by=majorgirl She’s also gearing up for the Xscape reunion. https://www.instagram.com/p/BT7pFpNFMC3/?taken-by=majorgirl

Executives Yashima White AziLove (U1 Corporate), D’Angela Proctor (TV One), Jay Stevens (Radio One and Reach Media), Kierna Mayo (iONE Digital), Tuwisha Rogers (One Solution and OneX Studios), Dwayne Whitaker (R1 Digital), Kim Bandell (One VIP) and Marvisha Frazier (BHM Digital) converged on a press conference call Thursday, May 11 with news that Radio One, Inc. would now be known as Urban One, Inc. The change was made official on May 5, commemorating the 18th anniversary of its IPO, when the company went public.

According to Urban One Vice President of Corporate Communications Yashima White AziLove, per Radio One’s President and Chief Executive Officer Alfred Liggins, the Urban One name accentuates the company’s dedication to black culture. “Well for clarity, Radio One is a legacy name, and one in which we have not departed from. Radio One refers to our vast local radio network of 57 broadcast stations in 15 markets,” said AziLove. “Our CEO chose the word “urban” in short due to its inherit ability to encompass all things black. Mr. Liggins often says we’re in the black people business and we believe that black culture is sexy, it’s hot, it’s appealing and we know that black culture impacts every aspect of American life.” Alfred Liggins, Cathy Hughes In addition to the name change, Urban One’s iONE Digital has announced the acquisition of Bossip.com, MadameNoire.com, and HipHopWired.com under the moniker “BHM Digital” alongside existing brand properties, HelloBeautiful, NewsOne, GlobalGrind and the company’s new site and master brand, Cassius (www.cassiuslife.com). “The brands we are acquiring have great recognition amongst consumers, clients and agency partners,” said Detavio Samuels, President of iONE Digital & One Solution. “In fact, the Bossip voice is so admired that some of its competitors have dubbed it ‘the best of the internet’ and there are already plans to extend it outside of the digital world.

Kailyn Lowry and her ex-husband Javi Marroquin may be on better terms lately, but like everything with them, this is subject to change. Whenever cooler heads prevail and the drama wanes, an unforeseen event exerts pressure on the ex-couple’s non-aggression pact. Like the rest of us, the Teen Mom 2 dad had plenty of thoughts when that photo of Kailyn in bed with another man hit Snapchat Sunday. Mistakenly, many believed the guy – whose face was obscured in some of the images – was none other than baby daddy-to-be Chris Lopez. Not the case. While Lowry is pregnant with Lopez’s child , he was not the man in this picture; Kailyn’s friend DJ was the shirtless culprit. The mother of Isaac, 7, and Lincoln, 3, received backlash for the pic, and it’s easy to see why; Javi wasn’t a fan, that’s for damn sure. Marroquin, who is the father of Lincoln and was married to Kailyn for three years, tweeted as soon as the photo surfaced, “I’m disgusted.” “It’s just sad. It makes me sad for the boys.” Not wanting to further fan the flames of this feud waiting to happen, Javi decided to leave well enough alone at that point, telling Radar : “I have nothing else to say about her.” Lowry’s baby daddy Lopez, meanwhile, took to Twitter to make sure fans know he’s not the man in the photo … and take a shot at Kail. Yes, the man who apparently wants nothing to do with his own baby (if you believe Kailyn’s sad and angry tweets about Chris ) is fuming too. “I wanna vent but I know it ain’t safe,” he said. “It’s always some s–t when I get on here.” “I knew I matured when I realized every situation doesn’t need a reaction. Sometimes you just gotta leave people to do the lame s–t they do.” Meanwhile, Lowry’s camp insists she’s just friends with DJ, and that “they were just hanging out … in bed because her feet were so swollen.” That’s a new one. Give them credit at least. “DJ was in LA for something else and hung out with her, Amber [Portwood] and Matt [Baier] when he was done,” says a Lowry insider. Kailyn was in town for the MTV Movie & TV Awards Sunday, which she attended with ALL the MTV stars and a few other D-list celebs. Both she and DJ were aware of the s–tstorm online that their pic caused, and both took to Twitter to tell give the critics their two cents. “Get that hate out of your blood folks,” she said, while DJ added, “Get that hate out ya heart, that ain’t how God made ya. Don’t judge me.” Too late for that, by about six or seven years. People watch Teen Mom 2 online and therefore know just about all there is to know about Kailyn’s life, a choice she has been complicit in. Yes, she’s entitled to privacy, as we all are, but Lowry shills, promotes, pitches and hustles her a– off to make a living off of her fame. More power to her, but craving attention one minute and then feigning indignation the next when people criticize you stretches credibility. As for Lopez (above), he remains an enigma. Most dudes who have been in a Teen Mom cast member are also interested in fame. Not Chris, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But if he wants nothing to do with Kailyn, or his child, yet feels compelled to criticize her life choices? That’s nothing to be proud of, bruh.
