Photo: Joe Chea Late Rapper XXXTentacion Expecting A Child It seems that XXXTentacion’s legacy will live on beyond the adoration of his fans and the criticism surrounding his actions. Apparently, the rapper had another life on the way at the time of his death. XXXTentacion’s mother, Cleopatra Bernard, shared a photo to her Instagram of an early-term ultrasound alongside the simple message “He left us a final gift.” Bernard included no further details on the matter. Now, it is unclear who the ultrasound belongs to , or how far along the mystery woman carrying this child is supposed to be. But until we have further details, we suppose congratulations are in order for the late rapper, his family, and for those close to him to have this good news on the heels of his murder. Joe Chea

Kobe Bryant Denied Membership To The Academy Even though he’s now an Oscar Award-winning executive producer and writer …Kobe Bryant has been deemed ‘not versed enough’ for membership in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Winners are typically automatically considered for membership if they aren’t already in the club, though it’s subject to a vote by standing members. However, according to TMZ , the baller-turned-filmmaker wasn’t voted into the organization amid claims that he doesn’t have a substantial enough body of work for inclusion. Producers admitted into the academy need to have at least 2 screen credits on theatrical films that meet the Academy’s standards. Mind you, Kobe won the Oscar for his animated short “Dear Basketball” this year. He also produced the docu-series ‘Muse’ in 2015, though that was made for Showtime and works for television don’t fall into the Academy’s scope of inclusion. However, many suspect that the REAL reason Kobe got shut out was due to his sordid past with sexual misconduct claims, which reared its ugly head immediately after Kobe was given his award this year. Word is, the Academy simply doesn’t want the #MeToo smoke of admitting a new member who already has the mark of rape accusations on his name. Hmm. What do you think of Kobe being denied a voting stake with the Oscars, despite his new route of filmmaking? Getty
