Scarface Disturbed by NYPD Shootings

Sylvester

VladTV spoke with Scarface about the recent execution of two NYPD officers who were shot and killed in cold blood while sitting in their car in Brooklyn, NY.

Scarface was very disturbed by the shooting, considering that the two men who were killed did absolutely nothing to provoke their lives being taken. He explained that situations such as the current tension between the police throughout the United States and the citizens of this nation, will spawn those who are willing to “die for the cause.” Face stated that he doesn’t want to see anyone die over these issues, and thinks that it is sad and shameful for any lives to be taken.

Nicki Minaj’s EX is Reportedly Thinking About Suicide after BreakUp

Sylvester

According to TMZ, Safaree is a complete emotional wreck after the breakup and is apparently suicidal. The former hypeman has reportedly been reclusive, spending most of his days and nights smoking weed and talking openly about suicide. TMZ reports:

Safaree is telling friends he won’t get in touch with Nicki because she’s now hooked up with Meek Mill. He says it’s torture for him, because he believes Meek Mill destroyed his relationship with Nicki over false claims he cheated.

Safaree’s friends say they’re scared these are more than idle threats. They’ve urged him to see a shrink. The problem … he’s seeing one whom he says has been giving him meds that make him even more emotional.
Though Nicki says she’s found peace, we hope Safaree will do the same.

Mayweather Will DESTROY Pacquiao on May 2

Sylvester

Pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. has had precious little to say about the fight the public has demanded for years, a bout with Manny Pacquiao — until Friday night.

Mayweather said during a Showtime interview that he wants to fight Pacquiao next and wants the fight to be May 2, the Cinco de Mayo weekend that Mayweather has regularly fought on.

“We are ready. Let’s make it happen. May 2. Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao. Let’s do it,” Mayweather said in the interview in San Antonio, where his promotional company was putting on a boxing card.

In the days before Pacquiao dropped Chris Algieri six times in a near-shutout decision to retain his welterweight title Nov. 22, he and Top Rank promoter Bob Arum launched a verbal offensive in an effort to kick-start the pressure on Mayweather.

Russell Simmons & Jay Z Lobby New York Governor To Reform Criminal Justice System

Sylvester

New York has become one of the epicenters for the ongoing protests for equal justice and police accountability sparked by a Staten Island grand jury’s decision to not indict a police officer for the death of Eric Garner. Two of NY’s biggest Hip Hop representatives have now stepped up to lobby New York’s governor Andrew Cuomo to reform the state’s criminal justice system.

Shawn “Jay Z” Carter and Russell Simmons met with Gov. Cuomo on Wednesday. The governor’s office described the meeting as “a productive conversation” that included a discussion about assigning special prosecutors to handle criminal cases involving police officers. Many observers have criticized the idea of regular state prosecutors investigating the police, because the district attorney’s office and the local police departments work so closely together.IMG_4092.JPG
