Well, parts of social media anyway. Last night the Dream Chaser’s head honcho took to Twitter to let his fans know that from here on out it’s “No social media … all real life!” No social media …. all real life! — Meek Mill (@MeekMill) April 20, 2019 After posting that tweet, Meek then went on to delete his Instagram account to prove that he’s taking a break from the Internet and all the love and hate that comes with it. For those who didn’t know, Meek and Nipsey had been working on a joint project just prior to his murder and it seems like the shock of that harsh reality has influenced Meek’s way of life for the foreseeable future…on Instagram only apparently. He’s since been tweeting like its business as usual about a range of things, including his absence on Instagram. I’m on real life vibes right now … lol I be tired of seeing all that capping sometimes https://t.co/JWqTde8zsJ — Meek Mill (@MeekMill) April 22, 2019 Well, at least his fans can interact with him via tweets.

Source: John Greim / Getty Good Samaritan Killed Inside Florida Waffle House You KNOW when both Florida AND Waffle House are in a headline that some f**ks**t is afoot. According to the Gainesville Sun , 25-year-old Ezekiel Luke Hicks is the primary suspect in the murder of a generous man named Craig Arttez Brewer. The 41-year-old Brewer was shot to death inside a Waffle House early Sunday morning where he was paying for customers’ food and giving out $20 bills. How could this have possibly gone left you ask? Welp… Brewer’s generosity didn’t extend to one woman in particular who became angry that she wasn’t the beneficiary of a random act of kindness. An argument ensued and Hicks stepped in to confront Brewer. After yet another argument, Hicks left the restaurant to get a gun, the two men caught yet ANOTHER fade prior to Hicks shooting Brewer multiple times including once in the head. Says sheriff’s Lt. Brett Rhodenizer: “The evidence in the case is fairly straightforward. We’re working with the state attorney. It’s pretty obvious. We have on video what happened,” Rhodenizer said. “There was at least one gunshot to the head but the medical examiner will offer authoritative information on that. “What we’re trying to find out in the days ahead is if this was truly a verbal argument that turned into a murder case or if there is something missing there.” Hicks has been charged with first degree murder. Only in bum a$$ Florida. SMH.
We have another update on the tragic death of Nipsey Hussle. TMZ has obtained her official death certificate for the late rapper, which lists his cause of death as gunshot wounds to the head and torso . This piece of information was already known, of course, but the legal document does add another tidbit that may be of interest. According to the certificate, Hussle was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. on March 31, 35 minutes after he was gunned down. The culprit strongly appears to be a man named Eric Holder, as surveillance camera footage clearly depicts Holder walking up to Hussle on the afternoon in question and opening fire. As previously reported, Holder walked away after putting one or two bullets in the artist… only for Hussle to actually say a few words to his assailant . Realizing the rapper was still alive, Holder then quickly circled back, shot Hussle again, kicked him and sprinted away to a nearby alley where a getaway car was waiting for him. Holder, who was subsequently arrested, is being held on $5 million bond on charges of murder, attempted murder and possession of a firearm by a felon. For those interested: Nipsey’s death certificate lists his occupation as an artist and entrepreneur. It also says he was never married at the time of his death and worked in the entertainment and real estate industries. But Hussle was very seriously involved with actress Lauren London, with whom he shared a two-year old daughter. In the wake of this murder, London wrote the following on Instagram : “I am completely loss. I’ve lost my best friend. My sanctuary. My protector. My soul…. I’m lost without you. We are lost without you babe. I have no words.” The stars were together for five years at the time of Hussle’s homicide. This devastating murder has sent shockwaves throughout Hollywood, along with nearly every other industry. Celebrities such as Steph Curry, LeBron James, Rihanna and Drake have all posted tributes to the slain superstar . Hussle grew up in a dangerous, violent section of Los Angeles… but had dedicated his life to pursuing avenues of peace and to bringing people together; even rival gangs. Candlelight vigils have been held across the globe and a huge memorial service will be held at Staples Center Thursday. It will be open to the public. View Slideshow: 34 Musicians Who Died Too Young Hussle was only 33 years old. We continue to send our condolences to his family members, friends and loved ones. May the rapper rest in peace.
