While recovering mentally and physically, Ford found her way back into the gym. She has thankfully had support from her loved ones as well as a psychologist. “For me, recovery is just getting back into the gym, developing overall strength, improving upon flexibility,” she said. “I also have to do cognitive therapy and memory exercises because my memory is just terrible.” [ione_media_gallery src=”https://rickeysmileymorningshow.com” id=”1912962″ overlay=”true”] This story was originally published on MadameNoire.com .  ALSO TRENDING ON RICKEYSMILEYMORNINGSHOW.COM : After A Horrific Car Accident, Melyssa Ford Is Back In The Gym Melyssa Ford Badly Injured In Car Accident With 18-Wheeler Melyssa Ford Survives Deadly Accident With 18-Wheeler: “I’m Lucky To Be Alive” Follow @TheRSMS

Mother Of Nipsey’s Daughter Says Family Has Stopped Taking Care Of Her Since His Passing

Read the original post:

Source: Adriana M. Barraza/WENN.com / WENN The custody battle for Nipsey Hussle ’s 10-year-old daughter Emani Asghedom seems to be far from over. While Hussle’s family hasn’t publicly spoken against Emani’s mother, Tanisha Foster, it’s pretty clear that they don’t deem her fit to raise Emani. While Foster has filed a petition for guardianship, Hussle’s sister and other members of the family have asked the court to grant them guardianship. According to The Blast , Foster recently spoke out against the request. “I strongly oppose both of the petitions filed by Samantha Alexandria Smith, Samiel Asghedom and Angelique Smith,” Foster says. “I am the mother of Emani Asghedom and there is no good reason my rights as her mother should be taken away from me, or otherwise reduced as her mother.” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.  ( Terms and conditions ). Foster says since Hussle’s passing, the family has made things difficult for her. She alleges that they kicked her out of the apartment Hussle used to rent for her. She claims she’s been left with nothing in the aftermath of his death. Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing!

She said that since the rapper’s death,  she’s “had to depend on the goodwill of family and friends for my food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Ermias had always provided for these needs up until his date of death.” She said that Nipsey also consistently gave her large sums of cash which she used to take care of Emani.

Mountain Climbing Caucasity: Bhad Bhabie Thinks People Don’t Like Her Music Because She’s White

See the original post here:

Source: Gary Miller / Getty Bhad Bhabie aka The Cash Me Ousside girl hit a lick, became a rapper and now has the never to think she’s actually talented. The successful struggle rapper thinks “people” don’t like her music because she’s white, basically. The alleged MC born Danielle Bregoli took to Instagram to air her privileged grievances. “Ya’ll will promote half these female rappers that dead ass suck ya’ll only f*ck with most of them cuz they pretty or you like they ‘style,’” she wrote on her IG story. “I promise you these bitches anit [sic] on that but when it comes to me a bitch that can really rap ya’ll don’t wanna f*ck with me cuz how I came up and bc I’m white.” Oh that’s why? Not because she’s a privileged white girl who came to fame for acting a fool on Dr. Phil . Or that there are plenty of talented alternatives to listen to whose entire musical existence wasn’t pieced together by a record label. Nah, it’s solely because she’s white. #SARCACM, in case you’re slow. Also, she’s 16, so there’s that. Regardless, Bhad Bhabie just reportedly inked a $1 million publishing deal . So why is she mad?

U.S. State Department Weighs In On A$AP Rocky’s Sweden Ordeal

More here:

Source: David Wolff – Patrick / Getty A$AP Rocky is still awaiting trial in a Swedish prison with several reports stating the conditions were less than satisfactory, and contact with the rapper has been minimal. The U.S. State Department has weighed in on the ordeal of the A$AP Mob star in a new statement. POLITICO reports : A State Department spokesperson said that the department is aware of the case and that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has been briefed. Top officials at the department, including Robert O’Brien, the special presidential envoy for hostage affairs, are also closely monitoring the situation and working to make sure the rapper is treated fairly. “There are certainly some facts about the arrest and detention that raise concerns,” the spokesperson said. “We expect all governments, including Sweden, to treat American citizens fairly and with respect. … We hope to see ASAP Rocky and his colleagues back on tour and reunited with friends and family soon.” Swedish prosecutors must decide by Friday whether to charge Rocky, who is being held in solitary confinement, or ask a court to let them hold him longer. Despite video evidence that shows Rocky and his crew did not initiate the altercation, Swedish officials are still struggling with how to approach the case under the legal system. — Photo: Getty

Fellow Los Angeles MC Crooked I paid him a visit at the studio for the newest episode of Crook’s Corner. After playing him an unnamed track saluting Marion, Crooked got Snoop to discuss the direction he took on the song. “I want to showcase the positive side. Like, ni***s being CEOs, having their own sh*t and being able to do [their] thing” he explained. He went to further commend his ex boss. “He showed ni***s a different mentality, that you can be the owner — you could be a boss. You got to highlight that; they ain’t never going to highlight it. They’ll take credit for that too.” He also made it clear that he has no ill will to him now. “I ain’t never hated him. You know, that they really tried to do whatever they tried to do to me [but], I don’t have that in me, that ain’t in my system.” You can view the clip below. Photo: Eugene Powers / WENN.com
