Photo: Joe Chea Late Rapper XXXTentacion Expecting A Child It seems that XXXTentacion’s legacy will live on beyond the adoration of his fans and the criticism surrounding his actions. Apparently, the rapper had another life on the way at the time of his death. XXXTentacion’s mother, Cleopatra Bernard, shared a photo to her Instagram of an early-term ultrasound alongside the simple message “He left us a final gift.” Bernard included no further details on the matter. Now, it is unclear who the ultrasound belongs to , or how far along the mystery woman carrying this child is supposed to be. But until we have further details, we suppose congratulations are in order for the late rapper, his family, and for those close to him to have this good news on the heels of his murder. Joe Chea

The former “Platinum Life” star who welcomed her second son, Roman Alexander-Raj, with Ne-Yo less than a week ago, posted a precious pic of her baby boy’s face. In the caption, she also noted that her baby boy (who apparently has green eyes) has given her a sense of calm and she feels more connected to him than anyone else on the planet. “The sense of calm that has come over me and my emotions is all due to him!” said Crystal. “I feel more connected to this perfect little angel than I have anyone in my life.” Isn’t he precious???
Source: Noel Vasquez / Getty It was previously reported that JAY-Z will be serving as President of Puma’s Basketball division, but ESPN’s Darren Rovell has clarified that Jay will be creative director, not president. UPDATE: Jay Z has not signed up for the role of president of Puma Basketball. The contract he signed was for creative director. — Darren Rovell (@darrenrovell) June 19, 2018 Jigga is joined by new brand ambassadors and future NBA rookies DeAndre Ayton from Arizona University, Marvin Bagley III from Duke University, and Zhaire Smith from Texas Tech Adam Petrick , Puma’s global director of brand and marketing said of the deal: “We’ve been working with Roc Nation for quite some time. They’ve been great partners to us for several years. We’ve done many different deals with many different ambassadors.” When Jay was approached, it “was something he wanted to be a part of,” according to Petrick. We’re used to Hov being both a player and president in most of his moves (“I’m like Michael Jordan , I play for the team I own”), so the mix-up is understandable. Since he entered the game, he’s worked hard to align his brand with big business. Back in 2015, the NBA passed what was called “The JAY-Z rule,” preventing dozens of minority-stake investors from claiming ownership of a franchise, which happened when Jay helped move the team from New Jersey to Brooklyn. Keep clicking for a recap of Jay’s other creative-slash-executive moves over the years.

It seems like Jay Rock is finally getting some of the recognition he deserves–and you can tell he’s feeling the love from everyone right now.
Source: Jim Steinfeldt / Getty The King of Pop is headed to New York. According to Variety, The Michael Jackson Estate and Columbia Live Stage announced on Tuesday that a Michael Jackson musical is in the works, inspired by the life of the influential entertainer. The show is expected to play on Broadway in 2020. There is no word on the title of the show or which theater it’ll play in yet. Music for the project will pull from MJ’s catalogue of hits — including “Thriller,” “Smooth Criminal,” “Beat It,” and “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough.” Ballet star and Tony Award winner Christopher Wheeldon ( An American in Paris ) will direct and choreograph the show. The musical will probably enter the same territory of other “juke box” shows like J ersey Boys, On Your Feet and Beautiful which documented the music of folks like The Four Seasons, Gloria Estefan and Carole King respectively. It’s yet to be revealed if the controversial aspects of Michael’s life – his 2005 child sexual abuse trial, the baby dangling, etc. — will be explored like biopics tend to do. We’ll keep you updated if any major updates should surface. Until then, are you ready to buy your ticket or nah?
On Monday, the music world was stunned by the news that the rapper known as XXXTentacion was shot dead at the age of 20. The controversial artist, whose real name was Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy was leaving a motorcycle dealership when an unidentified assailant approached his car and shot him several times. Onfroy was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at a nearby hospital. His gunman remains at large. News of Onfroy’s death received a mixed reaction on social media due to the abusive behavior that characterized his life. Many young artists have courted self-destruction, but few have behaved as violently toward others as XXXTentacion. Despite his youth, the allegations against Onfroy are too numerous to list here. The most appalling include his sustained, methodical abuse of his pregnant girlfriend and his near-fatal strangulation of a gay, whom Onfroy appears to have attacked for no other reason than his sexual orientation. Onfroy often rapped about suicide in his songs, but his death almost certainly came as a surprise. But that doesn’t mean it was totally unexpected to those who knew him best. “XXXTentacion immortalized Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. and wanted to die young just like them,” a source connected to the rapper tells Radar Online. “He craved attention.” The insider says that Onfroy’s primary ambition in life was to be talked about and remembered. He was reportedly willing to do anything to achieve this goal including, possibly, dying young. “He wanted to have people talking about him, his career and his potential just like Pac and BIG. He was that dude who didn’t give a f-ck about anything,” the source claims. “He has no regrets in life. He was him and loved himself with all his flaws.” The insider says that in addition to glamorizing suicide, Onfroy often instigated violent conflicts , seemingly with the intention of going out in a blaze of glory. It may be quite some time before we have any new information about the identity of Onfroy’s murderer. But those who knew the rapper best say they won’t be surprised if it was someone he knew well. We’ll continue to keep an eye on the situation and update you as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam
Source: – / Getty Things got real up in West Bengal, India recently when a forest range officer was handling a 18-foot python. According to Catch News , Sanjoy Dutta was rescuing the snake from a village. Sounds heroic right? Only problem is, Sanjoy made the wrong move when he tried to pose with the snake for a selfie. Video shows Sanjoy taking selfies with the locals when he starts to lose control of the snake. At one point, the python even wrapped around his neck and the villagers had to assist with detangling him. If Sanjoy didn’t receive help, the python could have squeezed his life out. According to the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, it is considered animal cruelty to pose with a snake or perform other stunts with it. So yea…Sanjoy was basically trying to floss for the camera and ended up risking his life while doing it. Next time don’t sign the snake up for a photo op.
