Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman isn’t ever getting out of prison. Today (July 17), the infamous Mexican drug lord was sentenced to a mandatory life sentence, plus 30 years. El Chapo’s run is officially over. Reports CNN : A federal judge sentenced Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman to life in prison plus 30 years, according to the US Attorneys for the Eastern District of New York. The Court also ordered “El Chapo” to pay $12.6 Billion in forfeiture. Restitution will be determined later. Before today’s sentencing, attorney Mariel Colon — who has visited Guzman regularly in prison before, during and after his trial — said she is optimistic about his chances on appeal. El Chapo spoke at his sentencing, complaining about the conditions of his confinement and his inability to visit with his family. Last month, the notorious drug kingpin was convicted in the Federal District Court in Brooklyn on murder, drug and money laundering charges. It is believed El Chapo was involved in the delivery of tons of drugs to the United States. Reportedly , El Chapo will likely be sent to the United States Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility aka ADX, a supermax prison in Florence, Colorado. Considering he escaped from prison in Mexico twice, don’t bank on El Chapo making it a third while stateside.

Source: A1 Visuals / A1 Visuals Reports are saying that the same LAPD members who were praising Nipsey Hussle and his work in the community were the same people who were secretly investigating him… SMH via: TMZ Nipsey Hussle was praised by the LAPD as a peacemaker in the wake of his death — a hero of sorts in his community for trying to stem gang violence — but it turns out the very same police department was secretly investigating Nipsey for possible criminal prosecution for alleged gang activity. The probe was centered around Nipsey’s Marathon Clothing store in South L.A., as a possible hub for gang activity … this according to The New York Times. It’s a stunning development, because the LAPD was both investigating Nipsey and embracing him at the same time. He was set to meet the LAPD Police Chief the day after he was murdered, to discuss gang violence. What’s more … a few years before his death, the City of Los Angeles was trying to pressure Hussle’s landlords to evict Nipsey from Marathon Clothing … this according to The NYT. As it turned out, Nipsey bought the building with some investors. Although the City can no longer prosecute Nipsey, the City continues to investigate Nipsey’s business partners.

I n November of last year, a man named Masin Elijè made some extreme allegations against NBA star Dwight Howard . He claimed they were boyfriends, that Howard was into transgender sex parties and that Howard and his pastor conspired to kill him because he refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Elijè filed a lawsuit and Howard countersued, claiming everything Elijè, whose real name is is Maurice Singletary, was lying. Now Howard is speaking out for the first time about the rumors and his answer may surprise you. See Also: Complete Timeline Of Jussie Smollett Investigation Speaking to Fox Sports 1’s Kristine Leahy, Howard said, “I went through a situation last year that really just set me free. It ended up being a situation that was—it went viral. People were talking about it, and it upset me because I didn’t even know who the person was. Why would somebody who I never met, never had any contact with, make up a whole story about me? I saw all the hate, the pure hate, from people that I’ve never met before, just pile up everywhere I went.” He continued, “I think that liberated me. Because I saw how a lot of people would feel, whether they’re gay or they’re straight. Whether they have issues. People are afraid to be who they are. They’re afraid to just step out and be. Because they’re afraid of what other people might say or think about them. That situation made me realize you’re not like this, but just be you, be free.” Howard added, “I’m not gay.” But he explained the situation gave him empathy, “It’s a lot of people who are and they have to hide, and there’s people who have mental issues and they have to hide. There’s people who have different problems in life and they have to hide. They have to put on the mask every day, and it’s like, I don’t wanna wear no mask, I just wanna be.” Watch below: “I'm not gay… It hurt at first to go through it. I sat at home and I was like 'I never want to come outside again.'” @DwightHoward spoke on the allegations that he was gay. ( : @FairGameonFS1 | @KristineLeahy ) pic.twitter.com/WcXz2WtOfY — Complex Sports (@ComplexSports) July 16, 2019 In April, Bossip exclusively reported that Howard sued the YouTube personality for libel, slander, invasion of privacy and abusive litigation, according to court docs. Howard is asking for $10 million in damages. “I don’t know this person, never seen him. Any allegation said about me is false,” Howard told TMZ back in March. He also called the lawsuit a “money grab.” In November, Elijè posted a series of incendiary tweets , beginning with one that said his “life was threatened after I was sexually harassed, threatened and manipulated, by someone I respected, my ex boyfriend NBA player Dwight Howard, and his camp also ‘catfished’ by his disrespectful ass PASTOR.” I was afraid to speak but today my life was threatened after I was sexually harassed, threatened and manipulated, by someone I respected, my ex boyfriend NBA player Dwight Howard, and his camp also “”catfished”” by his disrespectful ass PASTOR pic.twitter.com/n1I1fwDcUw — Ah-Mazìn (@MasinElije) November 25, 2018 The lengthy thread of tweets included purported audio proof of a conversation with Howard about him acknowledging a sexual relationship with Elijè. He claims they met at a “Wild’n Out” party. And while a person’s sexual orientation isn’t newsworthy, that context was important to mention because Elijè also made a similar accusation on Twitter last year against rapper Playboi Carti. As Bossip reminded readers, those claims were “allegedly discredited.” The eight-time NBA All Star had been nursing a lingering gluteal injury that kept him sidelined this past regular season. Howard recently got engaged to South Carolina University star basketball Te’a Cooper . SEE ALSO: Can Racial Profiling Be Stopped?

Thornton/Getty Images for BET / Getty Jermaine Dupri Responds To Doja Cat On Van Lathan’s Red Pill Podcast Jermaine Dupri has put himself squarely in the line of fire after his comments about women rapper all “sounding like strippers”. Fortunately for JD, the shots fired in his direction have less chance of taking him out because he’s a small target. That said, Doja Cat was one of many women, and some men, who aimed her semi-automatic social media choppa in his direction. Based on the way JD responded to her on the new episode of Van Lathan’s Red Pill Podcast , she must have struck a teeny-tiny nerve.

One Colombian man’s idiotic plan to smuggle drugs into Spain got him busted Tuesday after authorities discovered a half-kilo (1.1 pounds) of cocaine under his wig. Man caught with $34K worth of cocaine under his wig https://t.co/65mKVqK21w pic.twitter.com/VuKmy2fJCl — New York Post (@nypost) July 16, 2019 Officials say the man caught Barcelona International Airport’s police attention because his hairpiece was of “disproportionate size.” After searching the “considerably nervous” man, cops found a “perfectly sealed package taped to his head containing about $34,000 worth of coke.” Police said in a statement , “There is no limit to the inventiveness of drug traffickers trying to mock controls.” The unidentified man is currently being detained. Clearly, no one should be taking drug smuggling tips from this guy. SMH.
