NOT HAVING IT: The Raiders Fine Antonio Brown $53K For Missing Two Team Practices

Source: Thaddaeus McAdams / Getty Raiders Fine Antonio Brown $53,000 For Missing Practices The best thing about social media is celebrities publicly using their platform to respond to certain situations in their life. Most the time, we wouldn’t even know about them because most of these situations would just fly under the radar–which is exactly the case for Raiders player Antonio Brown . Brown took to social media on Wednesday morning to air out his grievances on being fined by his very own team . The player was fined $53,950 for simply missing two team practices, and understandably, he wasn’t very happy about it. Antonio claims his own team is hating on him and also states if he has to pay, then every one is going to pay. He posted a photo of his fine on his Instagram stories, writing, “When your own team want to hate but there’s no stopping me now devil is a lie. Everyone got to pay this year so we clear.” Antonio Brown posts his displeasure with fines from #Raiders pic.twitter.com/0OMhdwFu7K — Vic Tafur (@VicTafur) September 4, 2019 Him not wanting pay isn’t a threat, he’s just stating that every person who misses practices will have pay to make everything equal for everyone involved. Imagine missing practices anytime soon with AB around, might as well have the check already written–because he’s probably got his attendance chart ready to go. Most people try to hide their bad report cards. Antonio Brown posted his on social media. Different strategy. — Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) September 4, 2019

Eye-Roll Emoji: Jay Z Gets Clobbered Over Sketchy Comments On Single Parent Households & Police

Jay Z wants us to believe: •Black men disrespect police at a higher rate than white men •Black men only die at the hands of police when they are “disrespectful” •Disrespecting police is grounds for them to kill you These are not only all false but laughably so… https://t.co/D9ZBxqNQw6 — laya (like layer) (@layalovesya) September 2, 2019 Jay Z Addresses Broken Households & Police, Sparks Chaos We don’t have enough time to unpack everything Jay Z said in a resurfaced clip from a social justice panel with Van Jones , Patriots owner Bob Kraft and others but it’s currently dividing the whole entire internet. Hov basically said growing up in a single parent household can cause people to have an “adverse feeling toward authority” which causes them to tell police “f*ck you” resulting in interactions that “cause people to lose lives.” Now, to be fair, this can easily be taken out of complex, twisted and misquoted but he does clump police killings with fatherless Black youths without condemning the trigger-happy cops who perpetuate the broken system which, naturally, sparked outrage across Twitter.

Happy Birthday, Nip: A Gallery Of Rarely Seen Nipsey Hussle Photos

Source: Jerritt Clark/Getty Images for PUMA Rare Nipsey Hussle Photos We’ve never stopped mourning the tragic death of iconic artist, philanthropist, entrepreneur, visionary, father and lover Nipsey Hussle who left an untouchable legacy worth celebrating on his immortalized birthday. Blessed with a world-changing perspective that inspired an entire generation of dreamers, the Los Angeles-bred rapper (who would’ve turned 34 today) brought level-headed gusto to a chaotic industry fueled by clout chasing and negativity. At this point, it’s safe to say Nip was the most respected rapper of his era who inspired fellow artists to pour their hearts and dollars back into the community, promote financial literacy, invest in themselves and flip dreams into lucrative realities. And, for that, he’s a legend who inspired a day of unity, positivity and self-reflection at a critical time in society when we need that pure Nipsey energy just to make it through the day.

Ex-NFL Baller Shawne Merriman Hit With Wrongful Death Suit By Parents Of Dead Playboy Employee

Source: Emma McIntyre / Getty Shawne Merriman Sued For Wrongful Death Of Playboy Employee The parents of Kimberly Fattorini believe that former NFL player Shawne Merriman spike their daughter’s drink which ultimately resulted in her death. According to NYDailyNews , Fattorini’s parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Merriman last week. Kimberly died at a friend’s LA apartment in July 2017 after taking what the coroner says was a lethal combination of alcohol, cocaine, and the date rape drug called GHB. “I realize the (parents) must be suffering greatly, but (I) do not have any idea why they are defaming me by making false accusations in the press and in public pleadings and causing me economic harm,” Merriman wrote in a statement filed Tuesday in his related bankruptcy case. “I realize the (parents) must be suffering greatly, but (I) do not have any idea why they are defaming me by making false accusations in the press and in public pleadings and causing me economic harm,” Merriman wrote in a statement filed Tuesday in his related bankruptcy case. “Until the tragic death of Kimberly Fattorini made the newspaper, I was a sports commentator on a variety of television shows. I was also a motivational speaker, especially addressing the topic of overcoming adversity,” he said in the new statement. Merriman looks EXTRA funny in the light because he filed for bankruptcy late last year and now it kinda looks like he did it to keep ol’ girl’s parents from doing just this. Merriman told a judge that this was NOT the case, but still…

Can’t You See? Pam Of Singing Group Total Believes ‘Diabolical’ Ex-Spouse MANIPULATED Cyntoia Brown Into Marrying Him

Source: Johnny Nunez/BET / Getty Pam Says Cyntoia Brown’s New Husband Is A Manipulator Sex trafficking victim Cyntoia Brown was recently exonerated from a lifetime in prison , which some may call “lucky”. But now the 31-year-old woman is being warned to watch her back after marrying a man whose famous ex-wife says he’s up to NO good. Pamela Long from 90’s singing group Total tells The Neighborhood Talk that she believes her ex-husband Jamie Long preyed with on Cyntoia for attention. Long claims to be a ”Christian rapper”, and formerly a band member in the group Pretty Ricky (have ya’ll ever heard of him???). Well, apparently he and Cyntoia are a married couple. According to a Daily Mail report, the pair wed while she was in prison. To peep a photo of Cyntoia and Jamie CLICK HERE . Before Cyntoia, Jamie Long was married to Pam for 5 years. Their marriage ended in 2018. Here’s what Pam had to say about her ex-hubby and his new wife: In a statement provided to The Neighborhood Talk, Pamela says that she married Jamie in 2013 and their divorce was recently finalized in February. She also states that he was unfaithful throughout their marriage and expressed her concerns for Cyntoia going forward. “This man is diabolical and he is such a manipulator. The way this man pursued this woman is the way he did me. He came and found me using the same card, “He was a Christian artist,” said Pamela. “May the Lord God protect her and her money. It’s about who she is in the public eye and what she has.  By her having this face in the media it helps him to have a chance to be around what he deems as the elites,” she exclaimed. “Mr. Long may be able to hide behind his handsome looks of being a good man, but God knows the heart and exposure is coming.” Interesting. What do YOU think married Cyntoia should do with Pam’s advice?

Celebrity Seed Stress: Kimora Lee Simmons’ Ex Djimon Hounsou Files For Joint Custody Of Their 10-Year-Old Son, Kenzo

Source: Patrick McMullan / Getty Kimora Lee Simmons Served With Papers In New Custody Battle Fans have always praised Kimora Lee Simmons for keeping good relationships with all of her exes, but apparently, something took a left turn in her post-relationship relationship with Djimon Hounsou . Back in June on Father’s Day, Djimon complained to paparazzi that he hasn’t been able to see his 10-year-old son in a long time, and now, he’s taking legal action to try and change that. Kimora was served with papers while walking down the street in Beverly Hills on Friday, notifying her that her ex was filing for joint custody of their child, Kenzo. Kimora maintains that Hounsou is just an absent father who rarely wanted to see his son, and that’s the only reason he hasn’t. Hansu’s filings took place on August 1, and indicate that he’s petitioning to establish a parental relationship–a step taken to officially establish who Kenzo’s parents are in the eyes of the law. That might be necessary, since he and Kimora were never legally married. Included in the docs is the fact that Djimon is seeking child support, a custody arrangement with Kimora, along with visitation rights. He is requesting joint joint legal and physical custody between both parents and asks for both parties to have equal time with the child. If the Baby Phat founder is keeping her son from his father, it could be for fear that he might take Kenzo back to Africa with him and never return. Russell Simmons told TMZ that he offered Hounsou a visit with Kenzo just a few days ago, saying that he would take his son to him as long as he signs a document promising not to take the kid to Africa. According to Russell, Djimon refused. View this post on Instagram #Thinkingofyou #KLH A post shared by Djimon Hounsou (@djimon_hounsou) on Jul 20, 2019 at 4:43pm PDT
