50 Cent Declares War On Poverty In PSA

See the original post:

A few weeks ago Lil Wayne produced a home video “ PSA” that addressed everything from his syrup drinking to his choice in automobiles. 50 Cent’s recent PSA is a little less self-serving. The rapper and entrepreneur has been raising money for the world food bank, and promised to donate one meal of for every “like” that his Street King product gets on FB. Evidently, he is not satisfied with the results thus far and posted this statement on the Street King FB page: The world is so f***** up People don’t seem to care anymore People seem to have distanced themselves from other people’s problems, they have been programmed not to care! Politicians are corrupt…So many companies are corrupt and taking excessive profits in certain sectors…….and we keep allowing this s*** to happen There are 1 billion plus people living in extreme poverty. You know what that is? You don’t know if your getting your next meal, no shelter, no medical. You have no chance of hustling your way out of it! We have been programmed to not give a s*** about these people! Well I have woken up and I’m not turning a blind eye anymore! Im not playing the game anymore. Our Company CEO’s and politicians want us to keep our heads down and not ask questions. Not demand the truth they don’t want us to care, they have trained us to turn a blind eye! Because they control us and profit from us this way! to push back at them questions and threatens their lifestyles. Children are dying everyday from hunger. Its f***** up, its wrong and I am angry Im not going to shut up or give up – f*** the system, its wrong. wake up we are being used! Innocent children are dying each day…. we need to shout out to companies, politicians that we aren’t playing their games anymore We are waking up to their lies and deceitful dealings Im angry, Im going to make a difference and no one is going to stop me Join me if your tired of being used and manipulated Make this world fair for everyone -50 Cent Hours after posting that statement 50 Cent added that he had written a check for million meals to be delivered through the United Nations World Food Program. And the Grinch’s small heart grew three sizes that day… To support 50 Cent CLICK HERE to like the Street King fan page.

T.I. On His Prison Release: “I Enjoyed Opening My Refrigerator”

Read more from the original source:

Rapper/actor/author T.I. who was recently released after serving two prison stints within the last two years recently announced the release of his new book “Power & Beauty”. Tip recently sat down with our partners at HuffPo Black Voices and and opened up about penning his debut novel while behind bars, recording his next album, clearing the air with Diddy and his upcoming VH1 documentary: What is the synopsis of your novel, “Power & Beauty”? “Power & Beauty” is a fictional story that I collaboratively came up with, with David Ritz, and we set out to make a story about real characters living in the world that I’m all-too familiar with, and the conflicts and challenges that they experience as young teenagers. Or basically, going from their teenage years and being thrust into adulthood by real-life tragic circumstances and the decisions that they make which shapes the rest of their lives. Upon your recent release, you also had a chance to perform on this year’s “BET Hip-Hop Awards.” How did it feel to grace the stage again? It felt wonderful just to put my feet back onto the ground on this side of things. And everything that came with that was wonderful. For me, that performance was one of the things that came with it that week. I also enjoyed going to my son’s football game. I enjoyed sleeping in my own bed. I enjoyed opening my refrigerator, changing the channel on my television — you know, just the small things in life. And hitting the stage was just one of many things that I was able to get back to and enjoy that week. Actually I hit the stage a few times. Taylor Swift hit me up and we did our thing at Phillips Arena the day after [my release], I believe. READ THE REST HERE T.I. Puts Diddy In Check At BET Hip Hop Awards After Party!

I’m Julia and I’m a belieber from São Paulo, Brazil….

I’m Julia and I’m a belieber from São Paulo, Brazil. It all started on August 15 th , when I discovered that  Justin was finally coming to my country. I was waiting for this moment since 2009!  I joined  bieberfever.com  and bought my tickets for “Pista Premium” which is the nearest to the stage. A few days after that, I saw the meet & greet contest. My friend and I did our best to spread the world about  bieberfever.com , but sadly, we didn’t win. We were really frustrated, but that didn’t bring us down because the next day was Justin’s concert! We were so excited. On 10/08, I went to the stadium at 6am and my friend and a friend of hers were there since midnight. W e stayed there till 2pm and it was really, really, really hot! When the stadium opened, we ran as fast as we could to get a good place. It was very crowded and hot in there. Some security guards started to give us water, and someone threw water at my camera and it wasn’t working anymore. I started to cry really hard, I couldn’t believe that was happening. Some really nice beliebers  helped me to stay calm and some minutes later, my camera started to work again! I was so happy! The Z festival started at 4 pm,  wi th  the  brazilian  band Cine. When they went off of the stage, started to rain, rain really hard. My friends and I stayed there, we wouldn’t trade our place for nothing! The rain stopped when the second band, The Wanted started to play. They were awesome! After that, it was the time of Cobra  Starship . They were awesome too!  And then.. the chronometer appeared at 8pm. Justin was finally coming to the stage. My dream was about to come true in 14 minutes. He finally started to perform and I couldn’t believe that was really happening. I WAS SO CLOSE TO HIM! It was perfect. It was the best day of my life. And, one day, I will meet him. Never Say Never, right?  Love -@justjubs See the article here: I’m Julia and I’m a belieber from São Paulo, Brazil….

On Thursday, August 4, my friend called me and was breathing…

On Thursday, August 4, my friend called me and was breathing really fast. She was talking too fast and I think she was about to cry, I seriously thought something was wrong. Once she slowed down, she asked me if i wanted to come to the Teen Choice Awards with her and her mom, Holly Robinson Peete (from ‘The Talk’) . I was so excited. Apparently they had one extra ticket, and she knew that I had wanted to go to the TCA’s. She told me we would be able to walk on the red carpet with other celebrities, sit in the second row of seats, and go to the after party. I was beyond excited when she told me Justin would be there. I was so excited on the morning of the TCA’s. My mom drove me to my friend’s house, explaining all the way there to not freak out in front of Justin. After my mom left, my friend, her mom Holly, and I got in their car and drove to Universal Studios. We had to walk through lines and lines of security, and some people stopped us to take pictures with my friend’s mom. Finally we caught up with Holly’s publicist. He walked us to the red carpet, where Holly and him walked ahead of us, and my friend and I slowly walked behind them while looking at the other celebrities. As we were walking up the carpet, we saw Lucy Hale, Joe Jonas, Zac Efron, Demi Lavato, Sterling Knight, and Tyra Banks. We met all of them, and shook their hand, but I was still waiting for Justin. At the very end of the red carpet, we saw a familiar looking guy…KENNY HAMILITON! We asked Kenny how he likes being famous now because of the movie, he hugged us, then he started chatting with Holly. Then as Kenny turned, we could finally see past him. I had to nudge my friend before she saw the golden dirty blond hair that everyone loves. My heart started beating much faster than usual, and my hands got all sweaty. My friend had met him four times before this, but was still freaking out. Justin walked over, and casually starts talking to Holly right in front of us. We’re both looking at Justin, not believing he’s standing four feet in front of us. Holly then pauses, and introduces my friend and I to Justin. I watch as he greets and hugs my friend, nervously waiting for my hug. He then turns to me and says, “So you must be Izzy! Are you having fun so far? I know I am!’ Then he hugged me! It was the best four seconds of my life! While hugging him, my arm lightly brushed over his hair! All I could say was, “Hi, I love you so much’ because I was so nervous, but I guess that’s all I need to say. Then he started chatting to Holly again, and I turn to my friend. We both just look at each other smiling harder then we’ve ever smiled before. I wait for Justin to say bye to us and walk away to tell my friend I touched his hair! We then found our way back to Holly’s publicist, and the whole way we walk into the stadium, we talk about what just happened. Our seats are on the middle-right side in the second row, in you’re standing on the stage looking out into the audience. Justin, Selena, Kenny, and Taylor Swift were sitting directly in front of the stage, in the first row of seats, only 30 feet away from us! We hardly ever took our eyes off Justin, trying to get him to look at us. The rest of the award show was so fun, and we went to the after party when it ended. We decided that we were tired and our feet hurt, so we slowly made our way over to the car. We nearly fell asleep in the car-ride home, but how could we when 3 hours ago we hugged Justin Bieber. I love Justin Bieber so much and he helps me live my dreams. I LOVE YOU JUSTIN! Continue reading here: On Thursday, August 4, my friend called me and was breathing…
