Aroldis Chapman Accused Of Choking His Girlfriend A baseball star has been accused of choking his baby’s mother and firing off a gun 8 times within their garage. However, with little to no cooperation from the victim, it’s not looking like charges will be filed… Via People : Cincinnati Reds All-Star pitcher Aroldis Chapman allegedly shoved and choked his girlfriend and then went into the garage of his Davie, Florida, home alone and fired eight rounds with a handgun into a concrete wall, according to a police report obtained by PEOPLE. The alleged incident occurred on Oct. 30 but was first reported on Monday in a Yahoo Sports report. The report states that Chapman, 27, “was involved in a physical altercation with his girlfriend… over information she obtained from his cellphone.” According to the report, Chapman’s girlfriend told cops that he ” ‘choked’ her by placing his hands around her neck, but did not prevent her from breathing at any time.” She also allegedly told them that he pushed her up against a wall and caused her to fall to the floor. Chapman allegedly admitted to cops that during the argument, he left the house and got into the passenger seat of his Land Rover, where he punched the side window with his left hand – his pitching hand – causing a laceration. After that, Chapman allegedly told cops, he locked himself in his garage alone and shot several rounds inside. Police recovered eight shell casings. But once cops needed to press charges, Chapman’s girlfriend changed her tune… No arrests were made in the incident. Investigator Mark Brent wrote: “Due to conflicting stories, lack of cooperation by the victim and witnesses, no physical injuries, and the fact that Mr. Chapman fired his gun in a closed garage with no one present, there is insufficient evidence to charge him with a crime.” Chapman’s girlfriend, who is the mother of his infant child, left the house with police still there, the report states. When Brent asked the girlfriend’s brother to pass along his telephone number, the brother allegedly told Brent that she probably wouldn’t call him, the report states. Interesting. Apparently the MLB is still looking into this one. No word yet on what plans, if any, they have to discipline one of their all-star players over this incident… Getty
You know we like breaking talent first… Tell the world your name and where your from? My name is LettaJ. I’m originally from Dallas, Texas but currently live in New York City. How long you been doing music?.. I’ve been singing my entire life, like literally since I was 4 years old. My parents are both pastors so I started singing in church really young and I started writing songs when I was 8. Thirst Trappin is genius how did you decide to do a song with a concept like that? I was editing video with a friend and he was off task looking at my instagram.(lol) He came across a pic that he thought was sexy and said, “you stay thirst trappin.” I thought it was so hilarious, I couldn’t get it out of my head. So, I posted a pic and hash-tagged it #thirsttrappin. It got mad likes and the next thing I knew, I had written a song about it. And the rest is history! ha How does social media effect the work today in your eyes ?… It’s a huge part of the connection to my fans. I think social media makes people feel like they get to know you without actually knowing you and as an artist you want that. You want their thoughts and for them to come out to a show and give you a hug because that’s what its about. So, I create music that is relatable and real enough to constantly connect with the people who follow my musical journey. I include social media in my daily routine because there are people who want to be a part of my daily routine, so why not let them? 🙂 What is your 5 year plan with music? It starts with creating a powerful movement with relevant and well written records. Within a 5 year period, I expect significant success as an award winning recording artist with a discography as a songwriter for films, television shows and great artists. I am a natural entrepreneur, always have been, so I will definitely have businesses that add to my success. But within 5 years I expect to be in a place where I am helping aspiring artists and songwriters achieve their goals and dreams by offering opportunities that help them navigate their way into the industry.I expect to have started a book if not finished one to include in my arsenal of motivational tactics. What are some of the downs in this business as a woman? Well, you deal with a lot of bs but that’s certainly not gender specific. The biggest difficulty is having to be discerning enough to know who is serious and who is trying to sleep with you lol. I’m laughing but I’m dead serious. People will say damn near anything to get laid so being smart but still able to listen is a lot more difficult than it sounds. So, the biggest challenge is learning to balance being a business woman and an artist at the same time. How did you feel about the beef between Drake and Meek Mills? Honestly, I was just disappointed that the world focused more on beef between two wealthy and successful rappers more than black lives mattering. I felt it showed how easily distracted we can be. Who is your favorite female artist? That’s really tough because there are older artist that have influence me so much but if I had to pick an artist now, I would say Jazmine Sullivan because I could listen to her endlessly. If you could assemble a dream team group who would the members be? Wow. Hmmm…well I wish I could bring Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye back because they would definitely be in my group but I suppose I would want to create a group kind of like the Fugees. So I would want LettaJ (me haha), Chris Brown, Tink and maybe Lacrae in a group. We’re all different and talented in our own ways but so creative…and we’re all songwriters! So I know we would create some of the most amazing music ever. And the execution would be insane!!! What producers would you like to work with?.. I’m a fan of Rock City and I love the originally Pharrell embodies. So, those guys 🙂 What kind of advice can you give some young artist in the come up like yourself? The advise I would give anyone, regardless of their industry (especially young artist) is “What God has for you, is for you!” There will always be people who think they can make or break your career but they can’t. Although the industry is relationship driven, I think it’s important to understand that what is destined for your life, is intended for you. You have to just work hard and be smart enough to go after it and grab it. But understanding who you are, realizing your worth and knowing what you want are among the most important things you can give yourself. Knowing those things will help you stay focused and they will will help you make wise decisions even when it’s tough. Stay faithful, set the bar ridiculously high and work so hard you impress yourself. @lettajmusic
Ahmed Mohamed Demands $15 Million From Texas School District An attorney for the family of Muslim teen clockmaker Ahmed Mohamed is demanding $15 million from Texas school district, along with an apology for how Mohamed was treated when he brought his homemade clock to school according to TIME reports… Mohamed is the 14-year-old Texas ninth-grader-turned-celebrity who was arrested at school after a homemade clock he brought in was mistaken for a bomb. He has since been honored everywhere from Google to the White House. Mohamed’s attorney sent letters to the City of Irving and the Irving Independent School District adding new details and accusations to the story, with the family alleging that authorities “sought to cover its mistakes with a media campaign that further alienated the child at the center of this maelstrom,” the Dallas Morning News reports. The Mohamed’s are asking for $15 million in damages, as well as apologies from key players—the school district, MayorVan Duyne and Police Chief Larry Boyd, alleging “They stoked the flames. They tried to push responsibility off on the victim—Ahmed.” Lesley Weaver, spokeswoman for the Irving school district, said in a statement Monday that the school district’s attorneys “will review the information and respond as appropriate, as with any legal matter,” reports the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram. Attorneys for the family said they would give the school district and the city 60 days to comply before filing a civil lawsuit. Do you think Ahmed should get millions for his homemade clock??
Woman Has Sex With Daughter’s 13-Year-Old Boyfriend A woman in Delaware is charged with texting her daughter’s 13-year-old boyfriend , luring him to sneak out of his house in the middle of the night to her car — then raping him inside her vehicle.

After officers received information about the incident, investigators collected DNA evidence from the car and clothing, and reviewed text message between Goodman and the boy. Delaware Online reported that the victim said she ‘took his you-know-what and put it in her you-know-what.’ According to the newspaper, Goodman texted a friend ‘He is so cute with a nice a** body. ‘I asked him what in the world are u doing with a body like that at 13…’ She is being held on $225,000 secured bond. This is just sick. What kind of 45-year-old woman lusts after a middle-schooler — much less one that her DAUGHTER is dating. SMH. Smryna PD
Child Rapist/Killer Forcibly Tatted With Victim’s Name Behind Bars If you were in jail with your relative’s killer , would you be inclined to enact some sort of revenge, or nah? According to American News reports : Jared Harris, who at the time was 22 years old and serving a prison sentence for burglary, took a makeshift tattoo gun, snuck into 39-year-old Anthony Stockleman’s cell, and tattooed the words “Katie’s Revenge” on Stockleman’s forehead. Stockleman had not long before been sentenced for molesting and murdering 10-year-old Katie Collman, who happened to be Harris’s cousin. Stockleman, according to WTHR , told authorities that Harris slipped into his cell, held him by the throat and said, “I’m either gonna stick you and leave you bleeding or I’m gonna tattoo you.” Harris admitted to the tattooing and said he had no regrets, calling the tattoo a “good job.” Harris was charged with battery and, at the time of the original report, was facing another year in jail for the incident. A medical practitioner has agreed to remove the tattoo from Stockleman’s forehead at no charge. SMH @ the guy offering to remove the tatt. Do you think Stockleman should have been forced to live with it? This story is actually like ten years old, but it has been viral this week. We wanted to know your thoughts on it. Would you have done the same? Lost In Lima Ohio
Glen Rice, Jr. Shot In Gunfight At Scales 925 A shootout broke out after a heated argument on the patio of TI’s Scales 925 restaurant on Sunday night…and a former ball-player got caught in the fray in possession of a large amount of weed and cash. Via TMZ : The man who was shot in the leg at T.I.’s Atlanta restaurant is former NBA player Glen Rice Jr. — son of Glen Rice. The shooting went down outside Scales 925 on Sunday night. According to cops, the incident started inside the restaurant on an upper deck patio … where a group of 5 or 6 men started arguing. Staffers threw the men out, but police say the fight continued in the parking lot … and that’s where one man in a red shirt whipped out a handgun and shot the victim once in the leg. Cops say they have footage showing Rice running from the scene of the crime and ditching a gun by throwing it on a stairwell. Rice was shown on footage getting into a Porsche and leaving the scene. Police responded and pulled over the Porsche and found Rice Jr. bleeding from the leg — while in possession of 240 grams of marijuana and $6,000 in cash. He’s been charged with reckless conduct and possession of weed. Yikes…was he selling the weed or buying all that? SMH. Sounds like someone will be spending time in jail once he leaves the hospital…
First OSU , now this?! Alleged Drunk Driver Crashes Through Delaware State University Homecoming A man believed to be under the influence of alcohol was arrested this weekend after he injured 7 people, one critically, at Delaware State University’s homecoming festivities. Police report that Gregory Ligon drove a Mercedes Benz through the school’s yard and pinned a woman against a tree after trying to stop it from going into reverse. Delaware State News reports: A woman was critically injured and six others injured when a car crashed into a crowd of people gathered on the Delaware State University campus Saturday evening, according to Dover Police. The remaining homecoming activities planned for the evening were canceled, police said in a Sunday morning news release. Master Cpl. Mark Hoffman, Dover Police public information officer, said the incident occurred at approximately 7:28 p.m., when Gregory Ligon, 28, of Mitchellville, Maryland, was driving a Mercedes Benz sedan in the area of the fraternity picnic area. Police said Mr. Ligon attempted to park his vehicle in the area and exited it once he did so, forgetting the vehicle was still in reverse. According to police, Mr. Ligon returned to the driver’s seat to stop the vehicle, but allegedly pushed the gas pedal instead of the brake. The vehicle accelerated over a curb and across a grassy area full of people. Police said the driver side door was open. Police said the vehicle struck seven people. The most serious of the injuries occurred when the driver door hit a 21-year-old female and pinned her against a tree. This victim was later flown to Christiana Hospital with major injuries. Police said the vehicle then continued as the driver door broke off, until it struck another tree and came to a stop. At that time Mr. Ligon was removed from the vehicle by several bystanders. Police said Mr. Ligon was found to be under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash and will be charged with the following crimes:first-degree vehicular assault, six charges of second-degree vehicular assault, DU, and no proof of insurance. This is so scary. Don’t drink and drive folks, it’s just not worth it.
Man Murders Transgender Woman After She Embarrassed Him In Front Of His Friends Did embarrassment lead to the shooting death of a 21-year-old transgender woman in Maryland? Via CBS News : Police say 20-year-old Rico LeBlond shot and killed Zella Ziona, whose legal name was DeAndre Smith, on Oct. 15, because Ziona “began acting flamboyantly towards LeBlond and greatly embarrassed Leblond in front of his peers,” according to charging documents obtained by CBS affiliate WUSA. Investigators wrote in the document that the suspect and victim has been engaged in a “simmering dispute that had been escalating” as a result of their friendship becoming public. LeBlond is suspected of shooting Ziona multiple times in the head and groin. Police are considering hate crime charges against LeBlond, who is already facing a first degree murder charge. But the victim’s family tells WUSA that they’re already convinced the motive was hate. “I do believe in my heart that this was a hate crime,” said Kalany Thomas, Ziona’s aunt. Kalany Thomas and Sade Thomas, a cousin of the victim, both told WUSA that Ziona previously had trouble with people because she was a transgender woman. “I just want to know why?” Said Sade Thomas. “Why did you take such a beautiful, amazing soul like that and he was never the type of person to hate you or do anything to you?” Twice as many transgender or gender nonconforming people have been killed in the United States this year compared to last year, according to statistics gathered by the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs, an advocacy group. This woman didn’t deserve to die! Continue reading →
