His latest album Rather You Than Me includes a song called “Idols Become Rivals” that explicitly calls out Baby over his exploitation of Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled, Mannnie Fresh, BG and Turk!!!

Trump Advisor Being Sued For Hiring People To Discriminate Against Black People [Video]

Reed Cordish, a new Trump advisor and friend to Ivanka, has 2 lawsuits in the works for hiring people to discriminate against black folks at his club. They say reed thinks “Hitting N***ers Is Good For Business.” NYDAILY : According to three lawsuits reviewed by the Daily News, employees at ECI have on Cordish’s orders routinely discriminated against black guests at a shopping and entertainment center that the company owns in Kansas City, Missouri. The so-called “Power and Light District” is a half-million square-foot mall complete with nightclubs, bars and shops. The location opened in 2007 after Cordish teamed up with Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, a fellow real estate developer who will also join the President-elect’s administration as a White The lawsuits are from Kansas City, Missouri where Cordish and another Trump advisor, Jared Kushner, are named for racial discrimination in the Power and Light District…also known as the “Power and White District.” But the “Light District” has a dark repute among Kansas City’s black community, who refer to it as the “Power and White District,” according to at least two separate suits. A suit filed in 2014 claims Dante Combs and Adam Williams, who are black, were harassed and beaten up by white men hired by ECI to “lighten up” its “District” locations as part of an effort to keep African-Americans out. ECI won a preliminary ruling in a federal district court, but Combs and Williams are pursuing an appeal in the decision. Dante Combs and Adams Williams filed class action racial discrimination lawsuits against Cordish’s company back in 2014 after the men were beaten and harassed by white employees at one of the establishments. Nonetheless, Christina Martinez, a former manager at a “District” club, claimed in court testimony that she heard Reed Cordish himself on multiple occasions use code words such as “urbans” to refer to African-Americans. Employees were encouraged to use the code to exclude black customers, she said. ECI’s vice president Jake Miller allegedly “did not want any African-Americans” at the clubs either, Martinez continued, adding that she once saw him pick up a DJ’s microphone and exclaim, “Get that f—–g n—-r music off here.” In an allegedly blatant attempt to purge its clubs of black patrons, Martinez claimed Cordish’s company would employ so-called “rabbits.” “A ‘rabbit’ was a white kid who got free drinks to go around the District, do whatever he wanted, so long as he singled out blacks and started confrontations with them,” Martinez testified. Thomas Alexitch, a self-described “rabbit,” corroborated those allegations in a sworn affidavit. Money talks! So these brothers suing may have to settle to see any kind of loot for this attack.

Mommy Dearest: Mother Arrested After Locking Son In Bathroom For Over A Year

Utah Mother Locked Son In Bathroom For A Year A Utah woman has been charged with child abuse after police say she locked her 12-year-old son in a bathroom without lights for at least one year and barely feeding him. Authorities found feces smeared all over the bathroom, one blanket, a few empty cans of beans and a camera that may have been used to capture what was going on. Investigators found 3 square feet of duct tape mounted on the light switch so it could not be turned on so the boy was likely kept in the dark. The door had padlocks on the outside. The boy, who was unable to stand on his own and weighed 30 pounds, was taken to a hospital where he is expected to remain for weeks to recover.The doctor who treated the boy says it is the worst case of malnourishment he had ever seen. The 36-year-old Brandy Jaynes was charged Monday with felony child abuse. The woman’s two other children have been put in custody of state child protective services. Investigators are talking with those kids to determine if they had been abused. She is being held on $20,000 bail.
