A man came at Xan for that time he said Tupac was boring since in these days of the Internet, nobody forgets anything. Soon after, Xan is seen on video point a firearm at the agitator, urging him to get gone. Of course, it was all caught on video because, why not make things easier for the police? TMZ is now reporting that LAPD’s elite Robbery-Homicide Division is now investigating the face tattooed rapper for possible assault with a deadly weapon charges. Soon after the clip, Xan said he merely pulled the firearm out for self-defense because he was being bullied. The authorities are tracking down more video and looking to speak to Xan to get his side of the story. We wouldn’t bet on Xan actually having a permit. The struggle continues.

Source: ANGELA WEISS / Getty Frank Ocean Opens Up In A ‘Dazed” Magazine Interview It’s rare the elusive Frank Ocean opens up about his personal life to the public. But more recently, he’s become a little more transparent . It helps when his own friends are interviewing him. In the summer issue for Dazed magazine, Frank had everyone from Billy Porter to Janet Mock to Big Freedia ask him a question and in most cases, his answers were direct and to the point and in other cases, he gave a little more details. View this post on Instagram Take a seat. #FrankOcean covers our summer 2019 issue, interviewed by his friends, fans and collaborators from #JohnWaters to @jpegmafia, @amandlasponsored to @janetmock.

Rapper JPEGMAFIA posed the question: JPEGMAFIA: How did it feel fu**ing over a label like that ( Ocean released Endless in 2016 to fulfill his contract with Def Jam, releasing Blonde independently one day later )? Old white ni**as do that to us all the time, but how did it feel giving them a taste of their own elixir? And what did you build in the video for Endless ? Can I live in it? FRANK OCEAN: Eyy, Peggy! You know, it’s funny talking about it these days because I couldn’t really tell anybody anything for a couple of years. Couldn’t tell anyone at the label, obviously. But I also couldn’t talk with anyone at Apple because the industry is too small and it would’ve gotten back to the label for sure. So I kept it to myself and a few in my circle. I carried my hard drives around with me when I travelled because I used to not store anything online. Those drives became a physical representation of the stakes. If the files had leaked, everything would have worked out very differently for me. When August came around and both projects were uploaded I felt the euphoria, yeah, but mostly I just needed to sleep. I probably slept something like 15 hours. To answer your second question, I built a 12-foot staircase with my fucking bare hands some days before! It’s in my storage, you want it?? Frank, who came out as loving a man in 2012, also discussed navigating the industry as a queer person with Billy Porter: BILLY PORTER: How are you navigating being queer in the music business? Do you feel marginalized? If so, why do you think this is the case? FRANK OCEAN: I navigate it pretty smooth so far. If anything my personal life needs the GPS sometimes.

FRANK OCEAN: Building a family. Well, well… Seems like Rihanna and him are on the same wave when it comes to familial dreams.

Source: grandriver / Getty Mukbang YouTube Videos Makes Bethany Gaskin Over $1 Million Are you familiar with the term “mukbang”? The latest online craze is a fairly straightforward practice. People sit at a table, in front of a camera, and eat the biggest, most over-the-top, messy, juicy, delicious foods you can imagine and talk s#!t for the enjoyment of their subscribers. On one level it’s digital gluttony that is emblematic of the major issues that America has with food, and on the other hand its strangely entertaining when the eater is engaging. Enter Bethany Gaskin, a mukbang YouTuber who is internet-famous for eating ridiculously big, butter-drenched, tender and succulent crab legs while judging the food talking about God-only-knows-what. She recently spoke to the NYTimes about her unlikely business venture and the way it’s impacted her life and her bank account. On her two YouTube channels, Bloveslife and BlovesASMR Eating Her Way, Mrs. Gaskin chats up her audience while eating king crab legs, mussels, lobster tails, hard-boiled eggs and roasted red potatoes. The videos, produced in her Cincinnati home, have made her a millionaire, she said. But getting into the business wasn’t about money; mukbang was more of a calling than a vocation. “I think of mukbanging as a ministry,” Mrs. Gaskin said. “I didn’t consult with my husband before I quit my job. I knew this was it, and I quit by faith.” Bethany’s YouTube channel current hosts 1.8 million subscribers and she’s at nearly 1 million Instagram followers, those are stats for clout. They’re stats for cash. Through advertising on her videos, Mrs. Gaskin said she has made more than $1 million, providing screenshots of a report from YouTube. Before becoming a YouTube sensation, Mrs. Gaskin, who has an associate’s degree in early childhood development, owned a day care facility. After five years, she sold the business and used the money to pay off loans and leases. She then got a job making circuit boards for the military for a year… …“Then I did a mukbang, and people just went crazy,” she said. “I was like, ‘People want to see me eat, this is weird,’ and since they were easier to record, I just started doing mukbangs and all of a sudden, it just took off from there.” Bethany’s story is crazy, we highly suggest that you read the entire piece HERE. Especially if you’re looking to become a successful YouTuber.

Back in April of 2018, Teen Mom OG fans were overjoyed to learn that Tyler Baltierra’s father, Butch Baltierra, had gotten sober after struggling with substance abuse for most of his life Sadly, Tyler revealed this week that Butch’s recovery was short-lived. Appearing on Kailyn Lowry’s Coffee Convos podcast, Tyler and wife Catelynn Lowell opened about some recent hard times in their family. “He’s relapsed,” Tyler said with regard to Butch. “He’s in the middle of a relapse right now. That’s the reality of that situation right now.” Tyler went on to say that the ups and downs of his father’s battle with addiction will be documented on the new season of Teen Mom OG: “He’s filming, he filmed a couple of scenes,” Tyler said. “So, this season you’ll see me go down there a couple of times. He lives in Austin and he got out of rehab he did his sober living, all that stuff.” As The Ashley’s Reality Roundup points out , the relapse is not entirely unexpected, as Tyler’s sister Amber recently revealed that her father was once again flirting with casual drug use: “He drinks a couple beers here and there as well,” Amber wrote on Facebook. “He thinks he can manage all this but it will progress into something big again. That’s what this disease does.” It seems that Tyler, Catelynn, and Amber all agree that a new lady friend of Butch’s named Caroline is at least partially to blame for his relapse. “We don’t really try to film with her because I said if I see her, my ass is going to be sitting in jail,” Catelynn said. “The stuff that she said about [Amber] my sister-in-law does not make me happy and I would love to beat her ass!” Tyler says Caroline bombarded his sister with rude text messages after Amber opened up to MTV about sexual abuse she had suffered in childhood: “[Caroline] went wild and, I’ll tell you right now, that’s the sign of relapse,” Tyler said. “So my dad dating a woman who is going to reach out to you guys, probably in a crazy, drunken state [is not good].” Yes, it’s one thing after another for the Baltierras. It seems that Butch’s relapse took place not long after Tyler and Catelynn reconciled following a brief separation. Here’s hoping Butch is able to find the help he needs before it’s too late.
