Venom: Let there be Carnage; 10 trailer Easter Eggs.

The trailer for Venom: Let there be carnage is out now. giving us a tantalizing preview of the upcoming movie. Although, there is still no spidey in this film, unless you count the tiny spider that was squashed in the trailer. Thanks to the Sony and Marvel deal, this movie takes place in a different universe than the spidey films but that doesn’t rule out spider-man making an appearance in future films.

Multiverse exploration opens the door and allows for Spider-man to travel to this universe and potentially run into both Venom and Carnage. For that, we may have to wait and see what No Way Home brings. Just don’t have your hopes up for this movie.

Anyway, let’s check out the trailer to see all the teases and easter eggs for Venom: Let There Be Carnage.

First Look; Trailer:

10  Easter Eggs & Takeaways from the Trailer

1. Brock and Venom’s relationship

Now, that they share a body, they have to come up with ground rules for how to coexist. One major rule that Venom still seems to struggle with is the No Eating People, rule which has been prominently scrawled on a pizza box hung on the wall.

Eating People

Everything appears to be chaos where Venom is concerned; he has taken to cooking if you can call that monstrosity a meal.

Everything is all over the place and Venom is singing “Let’s call the whole thing off” which could mean that everything isn’t going as smoothly for them.

2.Mrs. Chen

still remains a focal point for the duo. After protecting her against a robber, Mrs. Chen seems to be pretty chummy with both Eddie Brock and Venom (Tom Hardy).

That is, until she fails to deliver the shipment of Chocolate. Then, Venom proclaims, “I am happy to eat Mrs. Chen.” Needless to say, Venom takes chocolate very serious.

What is the deal with chocolate?

Why? Venom’s hunger for brains is actually a biological thirst for phenethylamine – a stimulant that symbiotes apparently need yet can’t produce naturally. The Symbiotes acquire it from the human brain. Phenethylamine is also present in Chocolate as a mood booster and could be a supplement or replacement when he’s told not to eat people. Without chocolate, Venom must acquire it from eating a human brain.

3. Easter Egg: Sale 50 –

may be for a variant cover of Spider-man which included Venom, with the tagline Venom No More.

4. Cletus Kasady:

First Look & brief background. Cletus is being played by Woody Harrelson. The Fictional supervillain appeared in in The Amazing Spider-Man #344 as the first and most infamous host of the Carnage symbiote, an offspring of Venom.

Different Origin Stories?

In the comics, Kasady recieved the symbiote due to sharing a cell with Eddie Brock. But, this trailer doesn’t not specify how Kasady will receive the Symbiote but a good guess could be from Brock’s visits to his Jail cell, as he does a story on him.

5. Daily Bugle –

A nod to Spidey. However, this one says West Coast Edition and it’s clear they are puting a distance from the two “worlds” that is now digital in the Tom Holland films. Also, the logo is different but similiar to the Raimi’s Trilogy which featured Topher Grace as Venom.

Avengers Reference

In that same scene, as he closes the paper, there is a quick shot of a headline piece of it spells ENGERS which is definitely a nod at the Avengers which could be their way “connecting” to the MCU without being official. Or, more likely, it could be a reference to Carnage’s appearance in the Avengers‘ Comics. Now, if we zoom in on Detective Mulligan’s left shoulder, another easter egg appears in the form of E. Larson.

6. Easter Egg: E. Larson.

Erik Larsen is an artist for Marvel Comics.

“E. Larson” is a tribute to artist Erik Larsen, who did the artwork in ‘The Amazing Spider-Man‘ comics right after Venom co-creator Todd McFarlane left the series.

7. Ravencroft Institute

for the Crimally Insane – supervillians. Of course, it is also noteable because Cletus Kasady was born here before moved to St. Estes Home for boys for displaying violent behavior.

8. Francis Barrison

or as her alter ego Shriek was introduced in “Maximum Carnage,” and was depicted in that storyline as Carnage’s love interest. Shriek is also important because of one of her superpowers is a high pitch shriek and it is the one thing that can be disruptive to a symbiote, which is definitely going to appear in the movie.

Bonus. Easter Egg: A Spider. Along came a spider and Cletus Kasady crushed it. A spider appears as he pens a postcard to Eddie Brock. In the comics, Carnage and Spider-man have had several battles.

Obviously, this easter egg is to pay tribute to Spider-man, which isn’t currently involved in the film. Due to copywrite issues, will not using Spider-man. However, It could be hinting at Spider-man appearing sometime in the future. Per the new agreement, they are currently sharing Spider-man.

Trust Tate Talks Music Influences, His Creative Process

Jersey’s Own Trust Tate talks music and his creative process with HypeFresh Magazine.

1. Who is Trust Tate?

Trust Tate is a 27-year-old from the Bronx, NY and bred in Jersey. Tate is a product of public school education with a multicultural perspective on life. I’m always looking at the bigger picture. As a Cicely Tyson Performing Arts High School and Rutgers grad, Tate has since become a vocalist, rapper, producer and engineer, with aspirations to be completely self-sufficient. I have no intentions of putting himself into a monolithic box.

2. What’s it like being from Jersey City?

Growing up next to NYC, I was used to being around people from different backgrounds who took pride in their culture. In fact, I grew up right above a Spanish restaurant on Monmouth Street and 7th street, near 3 different high schools. The Spanish music I heard early on influences my music today.

3. Being that you were shot at the age of 7-months-old, what is your take on gun violence in the Black community?

We live in a bang bang bang society. We have always had to go through that. First, they quarantine us and put us in boxes. Then, we start to see our neighbors as enemies. As a matter of fact, Black on Black crime shouldn’t be the first conversation, but still one that needs to be had.  We are people scrambling for resources. The 16-year-old who shot me was trying to get at someone else. Although I was shot in the left arm twice and my bicep was severed, I don’t fault him for it. Everyone isn’t strong enough to overcome their influences and the desperation from their experiences. People are just trying to survive. At large, we need to do a better job of regulating our children and our neighborhood.

4. What inspires your music?

Life inspires my music. Music is art and art reflects life. Music is therapy. I’m operating in a scenario where passion makes money not money makes passion. My motto is to be freer with myself, my music, my family and friends. The more comfortable I am with myself, the better I can deal with myself. Real life thoughts, experiences and memories translate to music.

5. How is your music reflective of a therapy session?

My process includes beat selection and self-reflection. I ask myself two questions:  Did I really feel something when I made it? Didi think about something specific or a particular theme? I get my ammo from experiences. We all have them, but we get caught up with worrying if people can relate. My goal is to protect people’s energy and protect people’s mental health. I want to tip the scale from the norm of sweeping pain under the rug.

6. What has your journey been like transitioning from SoundCloud to the mainstream music industry?

I’m actually never leaving SoundCloud. It’s free and not divisive. Artists like myself can freely experiment and know people will listen. Fans have bourgeoisies about who to listen to. People have to trust you to give them a feeling that they’re relying on. Music is an expression of something. To me, SoundCloud is like other platforms – it’s a connecting piece between artists and fans. It gave me the foundation to reach the heights that I’ve reached thus far.

7. Tell me about your background in music.

My father came up as a teenager with legends such as Rakim and KRS-One in Long Island and the Bronx.  was also a well known break dancer like Crazy Legs in the 80s and 90s. On the other hand, my mother raised me on eclectic sound from Jay-Z to John Mayer. Music was destined to be my way of life.

8. Who are your music influences?

I can go on all day but I’d say I’m influenced by Michael Jackson, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Kanye, Jay-Z, Disturbed, Metallica, Tool, Marilyn Manson, Gwen Stefani, Amy Winehouse, etc. Lastly, I would add Jersey Club Music in the mix too – I generally gravitate towards artists that are free spirited. I also have vinyls of SWV and Diana Ross. I was a psychology major, so I acknowledge the fact that I am consciously or subconsciously influenced by these people.

9. What do symbols mean to you?

I’ve been studying religious symbols from around the world. I want to study all religions. At the moment, I don’t adhere to any religious discipline, but I’m curious to know what all peoples’ histories are. I look closely for differences and similarities between Abrahamic and Non-Abrahamic religions. Each religion comes from two trees, which has come from one tree. In fact, I’m waiting to get my results back from ancestry.com. I’m eager to determine my religious background based on religious practices in the motherland.

10. How has your creative process changed during the pandemic?

I have definitely honed in on my creative process. I have actually been quarantined since January 2020. Since then, I’ve been in the studio, locked in. I make music everyday three to four times a day, mixing and mastering for myself and other artists. I’m always studying something. I’m currently studying photoshop so that I can do my own cover art. I love working with people; therefore, I’m working to better myself to help others.

11. What can you tell your fans and music fanatics about ‘FaceTime’?

‘FaceTime’ is a story that everyone can share. Everyone can relate to the reality that someone calls you and you don’t feel like talking. The person may not even have anything to say, but uses you as a boredom killer. Then you think, “why are we even on the phone right now? The WIFI is fine, but I don’t dig the poor connection. My cousin, Jus1, shows the other side where a woman is on FaceTime but hiding from her man in the bathroom. The producer is from UK – makes Afrobeats and pop beats.

Be sure to check out Trust Tate’s new single, ‘FaceTime.’

HYPEFRESH EXLCUSIVE: Tiffany Evans

Hypefresh Caught up with Singer/writer/actress Tiffany Evans

Tiffany Evans

Tiffany Evans has been involved in the music industry for almost two decades, yet her best days are still ahead of her. The Bronx native is probably most famous for her role in Tyler Perry’s “Diary of a Mad Black Woman.” Or you may know her from her hit single Promise Ring ft, Ciara. However, there is much more to the former child star then what the average fan might know or assume about Ms. Evans.

Hypefresh got a chance to talk with Tiffany about a wide range of topics, including her Bronx upbringing, breaking the child star stigma, and her growth as a woman and artist.

The first thing you notice about Tiffany Evans when talking to her is the down to earth vibe she naturally gives off.  Upon taking the call, Tiffany was very gracious and respectful, while her soft angelic voice gave off just the right dose of confidence. Her words are smooth and non-threating yet assured and unafraid.

She speaks as a woman who has experienced life from both ends of the good and bad spectrum but hasn’t let the bad turn her bitter.

The first thing we discuss is how her Bronx upbringing has influenced her artistry and her style. You can hear the singer brighten up at the thought of her home.

You were born and raised in the Bronx, which is the birthplace for hip-hop. How has that influenced your artistry?

TIFFANY: The Bronx is full of flavor. People of all different walks of life. Not just the borough, but New York period has a different hustle and passion. I use that spirit when it comes to my music and work ethic. Going back home is always inspirational for me, as well.

She gives props to other Bronx natives such as J-lo and Cardi-B for doing a fantastic job of representing the city and applauds J-lo for how she built an empire that expands beyond entertainment.

From there, we went on to discuss how Tiffany Evans became such a polished performer at such a young age

You have been in the music industry for a while, at nine you performed at the Apollo, at ten you completed Star Search with a perfect score how did you become such a polished performer at such an early age?

TIFFANY: I was raised in a household where we listened to and studied a lot of the greats like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, James Brown, etc. and I always wanted to exhibit the same passion as them when I am on stage. I took notes very early and started to do that in my performances.

However, Tiffany also acknowledges that being a child star isn’t all glitter and gold. Growing up in the music industry exposes you to a-lot more, a lot faster, and you still have to face all the regular growing pains. The 27-year-old mother of two touched on how growing up in front of the world presents a set of problems most people don’t have to deal with. She goes on to point out that it took her a while to learn how to prioritize her mental and spiritual health.

Take us into what the transition has been like to go from child star to teen, to a now-grown woman with real woman issues to deal with, all while growing up in the public eye?

TIFFANY:  The transition was far from easy. A lot of people had a hard time seeing me grow up, and when I started to make my own decisions, separate myself from certain crowds, it was appalling to a few people. Nobody really knows what I’ve had to endure these past several years, and it’s the reason why I had to take so many breaks from music. I had to gather myself, my life. I can say that I’m in a great space now.

More Than Just A Child Star

Tiffany Evans-1

Tiffany goes on to share what it was like “breaking the stigma” of being a child star and growing into the woman she is today. She shares that it wasn’t something she did intentionally, but instead, it happened organically. It wasn’t her intention to shed the child star label when she got married or had children, but a casualty of growing up.

Did you feel the need to break away from the stigma of being a child star, or was it something that organically happened?

TIFFANY: It all happened organically, thank God. I believe part of it is due to me taking the time out for myself that I needed to grow.

Some fans may have wondered where Tiffany has been since her promise ring days, and some may have thought she quit. On the contrary, though, Tiffany has been busy this entire time not only with her family but in her career as well. Evans says she never stopped recording music even when she wasn’t putting any out. She did, however, stay busy during those times, writing music, acting, and growing as an entrepreneur. Aside from an EP released in 2015, Evans has worked on music for hit shows STAR and Glamour. In Addition to that, Tiffany has also collaborated with artists like T-pain and Phora on their tracks. Evans also had appearances in popular television shows Law and Order and the district as well as other film and TV credits.

What’s Next

Tiffany Evans-2

Tiffany Evans is ready to reintroduce her self and her music to the world. The singer has released two singles in the last year with her hit song’s “Switch Up” and “Merry Go Round.” Both songs highlight Tiffany’s incredible vocal skills and show that Tiffany is a full-grown woman. A first glance, one may not even be able to recognize Tiffany Evans as the little girl who sang her heart out in Diary of a mad black woman. Evans gives off effortless sex appeal that doesn’t distract from her music or lyrics rather complements it beautifully. Her music also reflects her maturation as a person as the content of her songs are revolved around issues adults are facing in today’s world.

http:/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDCUC4EmeDo

When asked what people can expect to get from her upcoming project Tiffany Evans clearly states that her music is going to be real.

What can we expect from the new music/ new projects you are working on?

TIFFANY:  The music on this project is a lot more vulnerable. I drew inspiration from my personal experiences, as well as experiences from my close friends that we talk about. Most importantly, you can expect a lot of growth, and I can’t wait until everyone gets to hear it. I’m very proud of this body of work.

What producers and or artists are you working with for your new material?

TIFFANY: I work with a lot of up and coming producers because of the passion and go-getter mentality they have. Producer Crazy T, J Track, Fever, WAV, A-Lex, GoTo, Tasha Catour, and Jawan Harris. Still not everybody but to name a few. They’re all so dope to me, and I can’t wait for everyone to see them shine and to hear what we’ve conjured up.

Talent-wise, there is no question that Tiffany Evans belongs in the Top-Tier of entertainment acts in the game. She can sing with the best of them, she writes music, she acts, and her energy is fantastic. Now that she is ready to rerelease music, we are expecting her to take her rightful place in the upper echelons of the artist topping the charts.

Camilla Araujo to Take on 2,000 Men in 24 Hours with Bonnie Blue

Camilla Araujo to Take on 2,000 Men in 24 Hours with Bonnie Blue

OnlyFans star Camilla Araujo has revealed plans to collaborate with controversial adult content creator Bonnie Blue for an audacious new challenge: taking on 2,000 men in just 24 hours. The announcement came during a recent podcast episode, where the two influencers discussed their careers and Bonnie’s history of extreme stunts.

Camilla Araujo, a 22-year-old Brazilian model and social media personality who rose to fame after appearing in MrBeast’s viral Squid Game recreation, expressed both intrigue and nervousness about the idea.

“Hit me up when you’re ready to do the 2,000. I’m nervous,”

she jokingly told Bonnie, who quickly offered to mentor her and even suggested using a “toyboy” for demonstrations. The conversation, which was shared on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, has sparked widespread reactions online, with many questioning whether the stunt is serious or merely a publicity move.

Bonnie, 25, is no stranger to pushing boundaries. Earlier this year, she claimed to have broken a world record by sleeping with 1,057 men in 12 hours during a private event in London. That stunt, however, faced backlash and was later removed from OnlyFans due to policy violations concerning consent and verification. Undeterred, Bonnie now aims to double her previous effort, setting her sights on 2,000 men in 24 hours. She invited Camilla to join her, sparking speculation about whether this could become the next big moment in the world of adult content creation.

The proposed challenge raises logistical and ethical questions. If executed, each man would have roughly 43 seconds of Bonnie and Camilla’s time, assuming no breaks—a feat some experts and online commentators have called physically impossible. Critics have also expressed concern about consent, especially given Bonnie’s past controversies, including her Spring Break events in Cancun targeting young men, some as young as 18.

For Camilla, this marks a potential shift from her usual content. While she’s a member of the Bop House, a luxury mansion shared with other OnlyFans creators where they focus on dances and suggestive photos, she has maintained that her earnings—reportedly $2.1 million per month—come without the explicit stunts Bonnie is known for. During their podcast, the two clashed over earnings, with Bonnie accusing Camilla of exaggerating her income, while Camilla defended her strategy of leveraging social media trends like TikTok dances.

The announcement has divided opinions online. Some fans praise Camilla’s boldness, while others worry it could damage her reputation, which has already faced scrutiny due to her OnlyFans career and recent controversies, such as a public dispute with streamer Jack Doherty over domestic violence allegations. Posts on social media platforms suggest mixed reactions, with some calling the stunt “inspiring” and others labeling it “gross” or “desperate.”

Bonnie’s previous 1,000-men challenge had significant physical and financial repercussions. She described feeling exhausted and in pain afterward but also celebrated buying a £390,000 Ferrari with her earnings. However, the OnlyFans ban on her video cost her potential revenue, and she faced accusations of faking her income. For Camilla, the financial incentive might be tempting, but the physical toll and public backlash could be risks she’s unprepared for.

Recent trends in the adult content industry show a growing appetite for extreme stunts, with creators like Annie Knight and Lily Phillips also expressing interest in similar challenges. These stunts often go viral on platforms like X, where discussions about ethics, consent, and exploitation continue to heat up.

As for Camilla’s personal life, her boyfriend, Owen Lynch, has not publicly commented on the challenge, but he has previously appeared supportive of her OnlyFans career.

In a lighter moment, Camilla recently shared her morning routine as an OnlyFans model, which includes waking up early, fitness, and preparing for content creation, offering fans a glimpse into her daily life in the Bop House.

Rapper Boston Richey Accused of Choking Pregnant Girlfriend in Violent Two-Hour Attack

Rapper Boston Richey Accused of Choking Pregnant Girlfriend in Violent Two-Hour Attack

Rapper Boston Richey, whose real name is Jalen Tahjeeh Foster, is now officially charged with felony assault after a violent incident with his girlfriend, Tatiana Channell Charles, on March 30, 2025. We first reported this story on March 31, 2025, based on a viral video and social media claims. Today, newly obtained court documents from Harris County, Texas, confirm the disturbing details of the assault, which allegedly involved choking Charles over 20 times in a two-hour span. The 28-year-old artist, known for his rise in the rap world, faces serious legal consequences as the case unfolds.

The incident began outside a club event at Saki in Houston, Texas, where Richey and Charles, 19, were attending an outdoor pool party. According to the court filing, prepared on March 31, 2025, the couple argued after Richey snatched Charles’s phone. They took separate car services to 806 Main St., where the situation escalated. Charles told police that Richey pushed her into the second row of a vehicle, climbed in, and began choking her with both hands around her neck. She reported he choked her approximately 20 times over two hours, each episode lasting 6-10 seconds, and even licked his hand to wet her neck, further impairing her breathing.

Charles, who is eight weeks pregnant with Richey’s child, said she felt dizzy, weak, and vomited twice during the attack. She lost consciousness at one point and feared for her life, especially after Richey allegedly threatened her, saying,

“If you call police, I might as well kill you,”

and

“You’re not getting off of this car.”

Two others were in the front seat, but they did not stop the assault. The court documents list the charge as Assault Family Violence – Impeding Breathing, a felony, filed under DA Log Number 3142088. Bail is yet to be set, and an arrest date is pending.

This isn’t the first hint of trouble. An X post from an account called “Father” on March 30, 2025, at 8:23 AM, stated,

“So I get to work to be informed that Boston Richey lil hoe ass was beating that lil girlfriend of his in the back seat of the black car service for 2 hours this morning, she’s 2 months pregnant by the way. But yall love him cuz he tweets about tricking. Fuck him.”

Replies claimed Charles told people this wasn’t the first time he’d beaten her and that police were waiting for a judge’s approval for an arrest, aligning with the court timeline.

Charles and Richey have been dating for one to two years, a relationship that’s stirred controversy due to their age gap. Charles turned 18 in January 2024, meaning they likely started dating when she was a minor. Richey has denied grooming accusations, once claiming she was 23, but her age is now confirmed. She told officers she wants to press charges, underscoring the severity of the ordeal.

Richey, a Freebandz signee with a growing fanbase, has faced legal issues before, including a 2024 marijuana trafficking arrest. This latest charge could derail his career as fans react with outrage online, many vowing to boycott his music. The court documents, backed by Officer D. Usher’s affidavit from the Houston Police Department, paint a grim picture of domestic violence, leaving Charles’s safety and Richey’s future in question.

Diddy’s Making The Band Star Dylan Busted After Shocking Public Slap

A former star from MTV’s “Making The Band,” Dylan John, landed in trouble with the law last week. The 46-year-old reggae rapper, once known for his bold personality and rocky relationship with Sean “Diddy” Combs, was arrested in North Carolina. He allegedly slapped a man twice in the face during a heated moment at work. This surprising incident, caught on camera, has brought Dylan’s past with Diddy back into the spotlight.

The arrest took place on April 3, 2025, in Wake County, North Carolina. Local police in Apex took Dylan into custody after he reportedly hit Paul Joseph Galullo with open-handed slaps. The two were at their workplace when the altercation happened, but it’s not clear how they know each other or what sparked the conflict. Dylan now faces a simple assault charge, which is a misdemeanor. He was released the same day after paying a $500 bond. His next step is a court appearance scheduled for July 1, 2025.

Dylan John, also known as Dylan Dilinjah, first gained fame on “Making The Band 2,” a reality show produced by Diddy. He joined the hip-hop group Da Band, handpicked by the music mogul himself. On the show, Dylan often butted heads with Diddy over creative decisions and leadership. One unforgettable scene saw Diddy order the group to walk from Manhattan to Brooklyn just to bring him cheesecake. That moment stuck with fans and even got a funny twist years later in a sketch by Dave Chappelle.

After the show ended, Da Band broke up, and Dylan’s music career hit rough patches. He has said in interviews that the Chappelle parody hurt his image.

“People saw me as a punchline,”

he shared in 2024.

“It made it tough to get respect in the industry.”

Despite the setbacks, Dylan’s name stayed tied to Diddy and the wild days of “Making The Band.”

This arrest comes at an interesting time, just weeks before Diddy faces his own legal battle. The music star is set to go on trial for serious federal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. There’s no evidence linking Dylan’s arrest to Diddy’s case, but the timing has people talking. Diddy’s troubles have put a fresh focus on his old projects, including the reality show that launched Dylan’s fame.

As Dylan gets ready to face a judge in July, this incident shines a light on his up-and-down journey since reality TV. His story with Diddy, from clashes to cheesecake, still captures attention years later. What happens next for Dylan is uncertain, but his connection to “Making The Band” and its famous creator isn’t fading anytime soon

Tay-K Watches Court Play Footage From 2017 Chick-fil-A Murder of Photographer Mark Anthony Salvador

Tay-K Watches Court Play Footage From 2017 Chick-fil-A Murder of Photographer Mark Anthony Salvador

The capital murder trial of rapper Taymor McIntyre, known professionally as Tay-K, continued this week with prosecutors presenting pivotal surveillance footage in the 2017 shooting death of Mark Anthony Saldivar. The trial, which began on April 1, 2025, and remains ongoing as of April 5, 2025, centers on an alleged robbery and fatal shooting outside a Chick-fil-A restaurant in San Antonio.

McIntyre, now 24, faces the possibility of life in prison without parole if convicted, in addition to the 55-year sentence he is already serving for a separate 2016 murder case.

The incident occurred on April 23, 2017, when McIntyre, then 16 years old, allegedly robbed and shot 23-year-old photographer Mark Anthony Saldivar outside a Chick-fil-A near North Star Mall. Authorities claim that McIntyre and accomplices targeted Saldivar for his camera equipment, leading to a confrontation that ended with Saldivar’s death.

At the time, McIntyre was a fugitive, having cut off his ankle monitor while under house arrest for the earlier murder of Ethan Walker in Mansfield, Texas. The San Antonio case has since escalated to a capital murder charge, with significant implications for McIntyre’s future.

A focal point of the trial has been surveillance footage captured by a nearby business and released by the San Antonio Police in October 2017. The video shows a black SUV pulling into the Chick-fil-A parking lot, with Saldivar clinging to the vehicle’s hood, desperately attempting to intervene before falling to the ground. The footage then depicts the SUV fleeing the scene, providing critical evidence linking McIntyre to the crime.

On Day 3 of the trial, April 3, 2025, an officer testified about this footage, describing its contents to the court, though the jury had not yet viewed it. Given the trial’s progression, it is likely that the footage has since been shown to the jury, with McIntyre present in the courtroom as prosecutors presented their case.

The trial concluded with jury selection on March 31, 2025, and testimony on April 1. Four witnesses testified on the first day, and McIntyre was dressed formally in the courtroom, listening intently to what was happening. By April 3, the jury had seen evidence of the crime scene in the form of photographs and a shell casing, along with the officer’s testimony regarding the surveillance video.

Reports suggest that McIntyre sat in on the courtroom throughout the day as the prosecution constructed its case using the footage and other evidence. To date, April 5 saw the trial ongoing with plans to run into next week.

One of the witnesses, Elizabeth Adams, said she heard someone screaming and then glimpsed someone wearing a white shirt with a gun in their hand. Another, Anna Delgado, said she had seen the man on the hood stomping on the windshield before being shot.

The crime scene was grim. A 9mm casing was found nearby, along with empty magazines and a bag of marijuana. Shockingly, some marijuana was reportedly found stuffed in Saldivar’s mouth — a chilling detail that left the courtroom stunned. The medical examiner confirmed Saldivar died from a single gunshot that tore through his body, damaging vital organs.

McIntyre’s brush with the law has also been amplified by achieving fame as a rapper. In 2017, while on the run, he dropped the track “The Race,” where he posed with a copy of his wanted notice. The track stalled on the US Billboard Hot 100 to No. 44, fueling public interest in the case and raising questions in the minds of McIntyre’s defense attorneys regarding jury bias. Already found guilty in 2019 in the Mansfield murder case, McIntyre’s latest trial is one of consequence with a life sentence in the balance if found guilty by the jury.

As the trial continues, the video evidence remains a bedrock of the prosecution’s case, providing an eyewitness-like description of what happened on April 23, 2017. With McIntyre watching, the courtroom scrutinizes the evidence, getting ever closer to delivering a verdict that might decide his fate.

If found guilty, he could spend the balance of his life in jail, a fate contrasting to the ephemeral freedom he formerly celebrated in his lyrics. The trial continues this week, with both teams set to present their final arguments to the jury.

Infamous Music Leaker King Bob Pleads Guilty After Leaking Songs from Playboi Carti & Ariana Grande

Noah Michael Urban, or as he is better known online as King Bob, has pleaded guilty to federal charges, bringing an end to his notorious career as a leaker of music. The 19-year-old from Palm Coast, Florida, pleaded guilty on April 5, 2025, to wire fraud, conspiring to commit wire fraud, and aggravated identity theft. Urban was known to gain widespread attention worldwide through leaking songs from famous artists such as Playboi Carti, Ariana Grande, and Lil Uzi Vert to the ire of the music industry.

Urban’s activities shook the music industry. He was responsible for leaking a number of A-list tracks, including Playboi Carti’s “24 songs,” “Celine,” and “She Might,” as well as Ariana Grande and Lil Uzi Vert’s unreleased tracks. The leaking impacted well-laid plans to roll out albums and cost artists and their labels substantial sums of money. Ariana Grande expressed her frustration in September 2023, stating,

“this is so disheartening. i was going to refer back to this hook to utilize sometime. idk how people are continuing to do this but please please stop.”

The financial and emotional strain on artists has been a running narrative in the repercussions from Urban’s leaking.

While Urban’s guilty plea addresses financial crimes, specifically the theft of $800,000 in cryptocurrency from five victims between August 2022 and March 2023, his public persona is firmly tied to his music leaks. Authorities believe he employed cybercrime tactics, such as hacking or identity theft, to access unreleased music files. He then sold these tracks to others who released them online, amplifying the damage. Though the legal charges focus on his cryptocurrency scheme, it’s his role as a music leaker that cemented his infamy.

Urban’s run came to an end with his arrest in January 2024, a joint operation involving the FBI. During the raid, he reportedly attempted to wipe his computer, potentially destroying evidence, including unreleased music files. This dramatic moment was a turning point in the case, leading to his eventual plea.

As part of his plea deal, Urban has agreed to pay restitution to the victims of his financial crimes. His sentencing is scheduled for approximately 75 days from his plea date, where he faces severe penalties: up to 20 years in prison for each wire fraud charge and a mandatory minimum of 2 years for aggravated identity theft.

Luce Cannon and Bricc Baby Are Cellmates, Jail Call Reveals

Luce Cannon and Bricc Baby Are Cellmates, Jail Call Reveals

Rapper Luce Cannon revealed during a recent jail call that he is now sharing a cell with fellow rapper Bricc Baby. Both were arrested as part of a sweeping federal RICO indictment targeting the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips, offering a rare peek into their current detention circumstances as they face serious charges.

Luce Cannon and Bricc Baby were swept up in “Operation Draw Down,” a large-scale federal initiative aimed at dismantling the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips gang. Bricc Baby was apprehended in Los Angeles around March 19, 2025. Luce Cannon was initially arrested in Las Vegas before being transferred to Los Angeles to face charges tied to the same investigation. This transfer landed them in the same detention facility, setting the stage for their unexpected reunion as cellmates.

U.S. Attorney Joseph T. McNally underscored the operation’s purpose:

“Our goal is to make our communities safer and rid our streets of these criminal street gangs.”

The arrests mark a significant push to curb organized crime in the region.

The arrests are part of a broader RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) indictment that also ensnared Eugene Henley Jr., widely known as “Big U.” Authorities accuse Big U of leading a “mafia-like organization,” leveraging his prominence and deep ties to the Rollin’ 60s and other street gangs to intimidate businesses and individuals.

Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph McNally elaborated on the charges:

“The allegations reveal a criminal enterprise that engaged in murder, extortion, human trafficking, and fraud—all led by a supposed anti-gang activist and purported music entrepreneur who was nothing more than a violent street criminal.”

Alongside Luce Cannon and Bricc Baby, 18 other members and associates of the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips face federal charges in this case.

Luce Cannon broke the news of his shared cell with Bricc Baby during recorded jail calls that have since gone viral. In a call from early April 2025, he told a woman—presumably his partner—

“Yeah, I’m good. You won’t believe who’s my cellmate—Bricc Baby.”

Her shocked response captured the moment:

“That is insane. Was that like pre-planned? Oh my gosh. So Bricc Baby is your cellmate—that is wild.”

In another segment, Luce Cannon hinted at influencing the arrangement:

“When I figured out the jail, I’m like, ‘Bro, soon as he comes, I’m about to bring him here with us.’ So I’m like, ‘Yeah, he’s about to come right here with us.”

While it’s unclear how much control he had, his comments suggest he played a role in their pairing. The calls shared widely on platforms like YouTube via channels such as No Jumper Clips on April 4, 2025, have fueled public fascination.

Speculation abounds about potential cooperation with authorities, with some YouTube videos like “Who’s gonna tell first? Big U, Bricc Baby, or Luce Cannon?”—suggesting Luce Cannon, at 42, might “stay solid” to preserve his street credibility. Such discussions, however, remain purely conjectural.

The openness of the jail calls has also raised eyebrows, as both rappers seem aware of being recorded yet speak candidly about their situation.

Bricc Baby is no stranger to legal trouble. In June 2023, he was arrested amid claims from controversial figure Charleston White of a “$10,000 stack on his head.” Earlier, in 2017, he faced charges for an alleged armed robbery, culminating in a brief police chase before his surrender.

Luce Cannon’s prior legal history is less documented, but his recent jail calls reflect resilience. On March 25, 2025, he said,

“Staying with my head up to the sky, keep grinding… nothing to hold me back, ain’t crying about nothing, standing strong.”

The cellmate pairing of Luce Cannon and Bricc Baby adds a compelling twist to the unfolding RICO case against the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips. As federal prosecutors press forward with their case—including against Big U—the unusual detention arrangement has captured widespread attention.

While Luce Cannon’s comments hint at his involvement in the setup, the whole story remains murky. As the legal process advances, the dynamics between these cellmates and their defense strategies will likely draw increasing scrutiny, keeping this saga in the spotlight.

Judge Demands U.S. Return Man Wrongly Sent to El Salvador Prison

Judge Demands U.S. Return Man Wrongly Sent to El Salvador Prison

In a landmark ruling that has ignited a fierce legal battle over deportation policies and judicial authority, U.S. District Court Judge Paula Xinis of Maryland ordered the Trump administration on April 4, 2025, to facilitate the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father who was erroneously deported to El Salvador.

Judge Xinis declared the deportation unconstitutional and mandated that Abrego Garcia be returned to the United States by April 7.

The administration has admitted the deportation was an “administrative error.” Still, it challenges the court’s jurisdiction to enforce his return from a foreign country, spotlighting critical questions about accountability and oversight in immigration enforcement.

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a long-time resident of Beltsville, Maryland, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on March 12, 2025, as he left his job as a sheet metal worker to pick up his five-year-old son.

Within three days, on March 15, he was deported to El Salvador, despite a 2019 court order explicitly prohibiting his removal to that country due to the risk of persecution from gang violence he fled as a teenager. Having lived in the U.S. since 2010, Abrego Garcia was a vital part of his family, supporting his wife and son, who has autism and intellectual disabilities.

The deportation landed him in El Salvador’s Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT), a notorious high-security prison known for its harsh conditions. The Trump administration later conceded in court filings that Abrego Garcia’s removal was a mistake, acknowledging that ICE was aware of his protected status but deported him nonetheless.

For Abrego Garcia’s wife and son, life without him has been a nightmare.

“He was our rock,” Now my son cries for him every night, and I can’t explain where his dad went or why he can’t come home.”

His wife said.

In 2019, an immigration judge granted him “withholding of removal,” a protection that barred his deportation to El Salvador due to the likelihood of persecution. While this status allowed for potential removal from the U.S. to another country, it explicitly prohibited sending him back to El Salvador. The government’s claim that he was affiliated with the MS-13 gang—a justification for his deportation—appears undermined by its admission of error.

This incident occurred amid a broader deportation sweep on March 15, which included over 250 Venezuelan men sent to El Salvador, many with no apparent connection to the country. The administration’s actions suggest a systemic oversight failure, raising concerns about due process.

Judge Paula Xinis’s ruling was unequivocal. On April 4, she stated, “There is no evidence to hold” Abrego Garcia at CECOT, and his arrest on March 12 had “no basis for removal.”

She emphasized the constitutional breach, declaring,

“That means from the moment he was seized, it was unconstitutional.”

Ordering his return by 11:59 p.m. on April 7, Xinis asserted that the deportation was “an illegal act” and that the government had apprehended him “without legal basis” before removing him “without further process or legal justification.”

The Trump administration has not disputed the error but argues that the court lacks authority to order Abrego Garcia’s return. Department of Justice attorney Erez Reuveni contended that since Abrego Garcia is now in Salvadoran custody, the Maryland court has no jurisdiction.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt echoed this, stating,

“We are unaware of the judge having jurisdiction or authority over the country of El Salvador.”

Adviser Stephen Miller took a more derisive tone, mocking Xinis on social media by claiming she “thinks she’s the president of El Salvador.” Even Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele reportedly joined in ridiculing the ruling.

This stance implies that once a deportee leaves U.S. soil—even mistakenly—courts cannot intervene, a position that could shield the administration from accountability for immigration errors.

Court documents filed on April 1 acknowledged the “administrative error,” yet officials have resisted action. When Judge Xinis pressed Reuveni on why Abrego Garcia was sent to CECOT, he admitted he had “no idea.”

He had received no clear explanation from the Department of Homeland Security. Asked why Abrego Garcia couldn’t be returned, Reuveni said he’d posed the same question to officials but found their answers unsatisfactory, requesting just 24 hours to address the issue.

This ambivalence contrasts with the administration’s dismissive public rhetoric, highlighting a tension between legal accountability and political posturing.

Attorneys for some deportees allege their clients were mislabeled as gang members based on tattoos, echoing concerns about Abrego Garcia’s treatment. Many now languish in CECOT, raising humanitarian and legal questions.

If upheld, Judge Xinis’s ruling could compel the administration to revisit these cases, affirming judicial power to remedy wrongful deportations—even across borders.

Ole Miss Freshman Breaks Silence on Shocking Viral Rumor Involving Boyfriend’s Dad

Ole Miss Freshman Breaks Silence on Shocking Viral Rumor Involving Boyfriend’s Dad

It was an anonymous posting on a campus gossip forum that led to a nightmare in February 2025 for 19-year-old University of Mississippi freshman Mary Kate Cornett. She was the subject of a fabricated and extremely viral rumor that had her carrying on a sexual affair with her boyfriend’s dad.

“It leaves you so isolated,” Cornett cried during an interview with NBC News.

“Having your life destroyed by individuals who don’t even know who you are is the worst feeling in the world.”

What ensued in the days and weeks that followed that initial posting on YikYak—a site notorious for its anonymous and frequently careless student banter—was a swift and destructive chain reaction. The rumor went viral on social media, particularly on X, where it was picked up by influencers and even found its way on to ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show to thrust a groundless accusation into the national lights.

The gossip had begun on YikYak in the beginning of February with cryptic and salacious allusions to a member of Kappa Delta sorority at Ole Miss sleeping with her boyfriend’s dad. In a matter of hours, Cornett’s photo and name were spreading far and wide on X, turning her into the public face of what she insists is a completely falsified rumor.

“It all happened so fast,” Cornett said. “I was just in shambles. I felt so helpless and so alone because so many people were hating on me for something that I had no idea anything about.”

The point that really put the rumors into high gear, though, was when ESPN commentator and ex-NFL player Pat McAfee alluded to the rumor on the February 26 edition of his television show. McAfee and these guests teased what was alleged to be a “ménage à trois” in Ole Miss in front of a national audience, repeating the unsubstantiated rumor.

“Dad had sex with son’s girlfriend,” McAfee stated, reflecting what he asserted was “reported by everyone on the internet.” He uploaded the clip to his 3.2 million followers on X with the caption “What’s happening at Ole Miss” accompanied by laughing emojis. More than 1.8 million people have viewed the video since.

Although unnamed, the harm to Cornett’s reputation was quick and savage.

What was probably written off as a momentary piece of cyber gossip quickly became an onslaught of harassment she could not shake. Cornett was bombarded with thousands of messages—some containing slurs, some telling her to kill herself. Her phone number was posted on social media. She could not cross campus without being sized up. She eventually stopped going to class.

It escalated to a chilling new level when police who received a hoax call stormed into her mother’s house in Houston in a swatting incident. Swatting—a hoax that sends emergency services to a victim’s address based on fabricated reasons—is a familiar means of harassment on cyberspace. In this instance, it left Cornett’s household traumatized.

“They showed up with guns,” she replied. “My mother had no idea what was going on.” “I was a typical 19-year-old college freshman,” Cornett asserted. “I had a wonderful group of friends. I was contented. And now I feel like that life has been stolen from me.”

Cornett and her family aren’t being quiet. She has said that she intends to sue those she feels helped disseminate and fuel the rumor–including McAfee and ESPN.

Her lawyer, Monica Uddin, calls this an open-and-shut case of defamation and cyber-bullying. “You cannot lie for money,” she stated. “Not naming her isn’t a ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card. Putting ‘allegedly’ in front of something doesn’t release you from liability. Those people are responsible for what was done to her.”

Cornett’s dad, Justin, has also made a statement, labeling the viral falsehood as a “defamatory cyber attack.” Speaking in a statement that was both heartbroken and resolute, he said, “You want to protect them.” She’s a beautiful person. She has a tender heart and a kind soul. And now we want justice.”

He also had a few words to say to McAfee: “You’ve got a microphone and an audience. And if this would’ve happened to his daughter, he would not like it.” In support of other people who are similarly attacked online, the Cornett family created a GoFundMe to create a foundation that supports victims of defamation and cyber-bullying. Already the fundraiser has picked up momentum, with it showing people can really connect to the story of Mary Kate.

Trapboy Freddy Claims Yella Beezy Sold It All for Bond and Legal Fees

Trapboy Freddy Claims Yella Beezy Sold It All for Bond and Legal Fees

Yella Beezy, sits at the epicenter of a burgeoning legal and financial maelstrom, as the serious charges tied to the purported 2020 murder-for-hire plot against fellow rapper Mo3. As the courtroom wars have been dramatic enough, recent allegations by longtime collaborator and friend Trapboy Freddy have added a very human and emotionally charged element to the narrative—and one that paints Beezy as a man who’s lost almost all in his battle for his liberty.

Yella Beezy became popular in the late 2010s with hit songs such as “That’s On Me” and “Bacc At It Again“, establishing a niche in the Southern hip-hop world with his street savvy lyrics and assertive style. Now the artist’s career hits one of the toughest setbacks.

In March of 2025, Beezy was officially indicted for capital murder in relation to the murder of Mo3, another Dallas-area rapper who was shot and killed in broad daylight on a Texas freeway in November 2020. Prosecutors accuse Beezy of playing a part in staging the assault, but the extent of his involvement is still subject to legal review.

When Beezy was arrested, his bond was set at a steep $2 million—a charge that would be staggering for all but the richest among them, including those in the entertainment business. At a hearing in court, the prosecutors used Beezy’s prior exhibitions of wealth, such as a bulletproof car, a lavish mansion, and considerable monetary transactions, including large cash withdrawals.

But in a dramatic and heart-wrenching twist, Beezy’s grandmother appeared on the witness stand. Her response revealed a starkly different image: one of poverty and strained resources. At her insistence, the judge lowered the bond to $750,000—a significant decrease but still a large amount to raise on short notice.

It was after this that fellow rapper Trapboy Freddy, who’s also based in Dallas and a close friend of Beezy, hit the headlines himself. During an interview spotlighted by hip-hop news website No Jumper,

Freddy asserted Beezy had sold all his assets in order to raise the money for bond and legal defense. He sold it all—to get out and have a chance to battle this,” reportedly said Freddy. “It wiped them out.”

Trapboy Freddy’s words caused a mixed reaction on the internet. While no official documents have proven that Beezy had sold all his assets, the story spread rapidly via internet forums as well as social media.

Also lending credibility to Freddy’s heartfelt appeal is the duo’s background. Yella Beezy and Trapboy Freddy have been a collaborative team on various tracks, including their collaborative mixtape “I’m My Brother’s Keeper” and the song “Let Me Find Out“. Not only have they been partners on the microphone but have publicly defended each other as well, implying a bond that extends past the professional—a friendship developed in the highs and the lows within the Dallas rap world.

That a reportedly $2-million net-worth rap musician would be unable to make bail raises significant questions concerning the nature of wealth in the music business. Wealth tends to be invested in illiquid assets: houses, cars, jewels, and endorsements. Legal issues can not only suck up money fast, but end touring, streaming income, and publicity as well.

Beezy’s case reminds one that the appearance of wealth doesn’t always translate into financial security, particularly in the face of criminal indictment and the court of public opinion.

As the legal case makes its way, the international focus will naturally be the charges. But the narrative with Yella Beezy involves more than a story about a crime. It’s one concerning the emotional weight carried by his family, particularly his grandmother, and the pressure of being in the spotlight with the looming specter over them of a potentially life-altering conviction.

Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders Delayed in the U.S.—Nintendo Blames Trump-Era Tariffs

Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders Delayed in the U.S.—Nintendo Blames Trump-Era Tariffs

Nintendo delayed U.S. pre-orders for the soon-to-be-launched Switch 2 console, previously planned for April 9, 2025. It explained the delay by expressing fears over the economic effects caused by the recent reintroduction of tariffs and changing conditions in the marketplace. Nevertheless, the official launch date for the console remains the same with a worldwide launch on June 5, 2025.

Nintendo’s pre-order delay originates from a series of tariffs imposed by the President Donald Trump. Those tariffs are:

A tax on Japanese imports at 24% and a tax on Vietnamese imports at 46% both impact the supply chain of Nintendo.
A global minimum tariff of 10% on all imports, as of April 9, 2025, potentially making the cost of production and distribution higher.
Increased tariffs on critical manufacturing hubs, including a 34% levy on Chinese imports, making things further difficult for gaming hardware.

These economic policies would substantially increase the operational expenses for Nintendo, potentially resulting in increased prices for the consumers.

How It Relates to Gamers in the U.S., UK, Canada, and Australia For American consumers, the delay creates uncertainty with regards to pricing and/or availability. Although Nintendo has not provided updated pre-order details, gamers are left questioning whether the tariffs will drive the Switch 2’s pricing past its indicated level of $449.99 (or $499.99 when the Mario Kart World package is included).

UK, Canadian, and Australian pre-orders are still open for consumers. Global prices, though, could still be impacted as the hardware cost increase would be absorbed by or passed on by Nintendo. It’s still unclear if prices need to be adjusted in these markets.

Market Reaction & Response by Nintendo Tariff revelation spillover effects have been felt across the economy, with the resulting increased volatility affecting the big tech companies. Market deterioration hit the U.S. stock lower than in March 2020 as companies such as Apple and Amazon suffered exorbitant loses. In response, China leveled a matching 34% tariff against U.S. exports as well as filing a case with the World Trade Organization.

To combat these challenges, Nintendo has been making efforts at expanding manufacturing sites, including shifting operations away from China into Vietnam and Cambodia. According to Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa, the company is tracking geopolitical risks as well as outlining methods of countering possible monetary setbacks.

Although pre-ordering in the U.S. will be delayed, the Switch 2 will still be launched on June 5, 2025. Customers are invited to remain updated through the official channels of Nintendo for news on updated pre-order dates and possible changes in pricing.

Surprise! Eminem Has Welcomed His First Grandchild

Eminem, the famous rapper whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, is now a grandfather! His daughter, Hailie Jade Scott, shared the happy news on Instagram on April 4, 2025. She posted that her baby boy, Elliot Marshall McClintock, was born on March 14, 2025. For Eminem, who’s 52 and known for his raw and personal songs, this is a big moment—he’s stepping into the role of “Grandpa” for the first time.

It all started last year when Hailie, now 29, and her husband, Evan McClintock, said they were going to have a baby. They first told the world in a sweet way through Eminem’s music video for “Temporary,” which came out on October 3, 2024. In the video, Hailie gave her dad a Detroit Lions jersey that said “Grandpa” on it, along with a picture of the baby’s ultrasound. Eminem looked totally shocked and got emotional as he realized what was happening. Hailie later said on her podcast, “Just a Little Shady,” that it was extra special because it happened during the first Lions game of the season and on Grandparents Day—a perfect mix of family and surprise

Hailie and Evan met back when they were students at Michigan State University and started dating in 2016. They got married in May 2024 at a big wedding with famous guests like 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, and Jimmy Iovine. They didn’t tell anyone about the pregnancy at the wedding, though—Hailie’s best friend, Brittany Ednie, helped keep it a secret. Then, on October 11, 2024, they shared on the podcast that they were having a boy, with blue confetti popping out to celebrate.

On April 4, 2025, Hailie posted the first pictures of little Elliot on Instagram, writing, “happy due date//3 weeks earthside little e.” Turns out, Elliot arrived three weeks early, on March 14, 2025. His name, Elliot Marshall, is extra meaningful because “Marshall” comes from Eminem’s real name—it’s a sweet nod to their family roots.

In the “Temporary” video, you can see Eminem tearing up and looking stunned when he found out about the baby. Hailie said in interviews that he was confused at first, thinking he forgot to buy her a present, until he understood the big news. Eminem hasn’t said anything publicly about Elliot’s birth yet, but people close to the family told People magazine he’s super happy and probably already spoiling his grandson. Still, he’s a private guy, so he might keep his thoughts quiet and just focus on being there for Hailie and Evan as they start being parents.

For Eminem’s fans, this is a cool new side of him. He’s always been known for his wild lyrics and his Slim Shady character, but lately, his music—like “Temporary”—shows a softer, more thoughtful side about his daughter. Elliot’s birth might even give him ideas for new songs, since he often puts his life into his music. Hailie, who’s a social media star and podcast host, has been excited to share her journey. She’s posted maternity pictures and talked about getting a nursery ready with Evan, letting fans in on her mom-to-be moments.

People online, like on Reddit, are loving that Eminem’s a grandpa now. Fans are thrilled about the “first boy” in the Mathers family and joking about how Eminem might shower Elliot with gifts. It also shows how tight he and Hailie are—a bond he’s rapped about since songs like “97′ Bonnie & Clyde” way back when.

Lil Baby & Anthony Edwards’ Baby Mama Starts Her Own Trucking Company

Ayesha Howard, also known as the popular online pseudonym Little Ms. Golden6, is making headlines all over again—this time, not for her celebrity co-parents, but for striking out into the business world. Based in Atlanta and a mother of two herself, the influencer opened up shop with her own trucking business, making waves all over social media with talk of independence, ambition, and reinvention.

Ayesha Howard’s name has circulated around the news for years, as she’s been linked to hip-hop artist Lil Baby, with whom she had a son, and with Anthony Edwards, the father of her daughter. Now, Howard takes the reins quite literally and figuratively as she steers the direction toward business, opening the year 2025 with a venture that’s sparking both acclaim and criticism on social media.

Atlanta, Georgia, born and raised, Howard has become a name unto herself, outside of being a celebrity. With glamorous selfies, chic ensembles, and real talk on motherhood, she’s built a crowd of almost 629,000 on Instagram as Little Ms. Golden6. She’s been all influencer, over the years, branching into the realm of brand collaborations, music, and now—trucking.

Howard’s public existence has always been filled with personal intrigue and media rumors. Her son Jason’s father is Grammy-nominated artist Lil Baby, and daughter Aubri Summers Howard finds herself in the midst of a legal battle with guard Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Although Howard maintains paternity had already been determined, Edwards sought a DNA test and challenged the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy, including leaked messages purportedly in which he encouraged canceling the pregnancy.

This contentious legal battle has only added fuel on social media as other people accuse Howard of exploiting her children for money. But despite all the uproar, she’s still active on social media, posting moments from around herself and still working on the pursuit of business goals.

Howard is entering the trucking business. A photo that surfaced on the internet featured a box truck, which is a commercial vehicle but much smaller than the typical 18-wheeler, and caused immediate speculation. Although the full details on the business remain vague, including what it will be called and how extensive the operations will be, Howard seems intent on making the move.

But the reaction hasn’t been one-sided. Some have rallied around the entrepreneur, applauding her work ethic and drive to create for herself.

“Always a good lesson for the kids: she’s what it takes to work hard and make it on your own,” one tweeted

“She’s doing what a lot of people wouldn’t be brave enough to do,” another user wrote. “Everyone’s always saying they want to create generational wealth. This is what that can look like.”

Nevertheless, the gesture indicates Howard’s assertion that she will be building a different story—one in which she’s not a “baby mama” but rather a businesswoman attempting to build a viable business for her family.

A great deal of the public response to Howard’s trucking business is caught up in the paternity dispute with Edwards. The court case sparked broader conversations online over being a parent, responsibility, and what success as a parent looks like for women tied to celebrity men.

Although some people on social media accuse Howard of being “chasing checks,” others recognize her asserting herself into power—at a time when women and solo mothers are still harshly criticized.

NBA Ben10, Close Associate of NBA YoungBoy, Allegedly Shot in Baton Rouge

One of the close friends of the rapper NBA YoungBoy, who goes by the name NBA Ben10, had been reportedly shot in his hometown of Baton Rouge. So far, official reports coming forth are scant, but his current situation remains unclear. His shooting, however, caused alarm among his fans as well as the Never Broke Again crew.

The reported shooting comes as part of a series of violent and contentious setbacks for the inner circle of NBA YoungBoy — one of the most well-known but legally beleaguered rappers in Baton Rouge. With a lengthy list of prior run-ins with the law, NBA Ben10 has consistently been in the news for all the wrong reasons.

NBA Ben10, who operates with the nickname MGNG2x, is more than a rapper. He’s an influencer with a strong connection to the streets of downtown Baton Rouge and to YoungBoy Never Broke Again, one of the most divisive figures in hip-hop. We’ve seen the two together often, and Ben10 regularly wears “Slatt” merchandise – a nickname and aesthetic with a direct correlation to the YoungBoy’s Never Broke Again group.

Ben10’s legal past is long. He had barely been released from incarceration in 2022 when, just six days later, he was arrested a second time — for gun and narcotics charges. He was accused by authorities of being in possession of illegal guns and being involved with distributing drugs, cementing his place as one of YoungBoy’s more troubled associates.

But one of the saddest moments in his timeline occurred in December 2021. A drive-by shooting on westbound I-10 near Prairieville resulted in the death of his cousin, Marvin Batiste. That shooting had been associated with a bigger conflict between two groups in rival Baton Rouge factions, the NBA crew and the Bleedas — a conflict that had already seen violence and revenge.

Ben10’s bond with YoungBoy goes beyond just friendship. He’s regarded as a close affiliate of the Never Broke Again crew — a group of artists, producers, and affiliates centered around YoungBoy’s breakout. Members of the crew are known for their loyalty and aesthetic, often making cameo appearances in music videos and social media for one another, dressing in the same branded attire and using similar slang. YoungBoy himself, Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, has had his share of encounters with the authorities. He was arrested in 2021 on federal charges pertaining to guns. Some evidence in his case would later be dismissed, but YoungBoy still had a watch kept on him by the feds.

Karmelo Anthony, 17, Arrested for First-Degree Murder After Fatal Stabbing at Texas Track Meet

The Frisco community is in mourning following the tragic death of Austin Metcalf, a 17-year-old junior at Memorial High School, who was fatally stabbed during a track meet on April 2, 2025. The incident unfolding at David Kuykendall Stadium during the UIL District 11-5A championship has left residents grappling with shock and grief.

Karmelo Anthony, a 17-year-old student from Centennial High School, has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the stabbing, which stemmed from a seating dispute.

The altercation occurred around 10:00 a.m. amid rainy conditions at the track meet. According to an arrest affidavit, Anthony was sitting under Memorial High School’s tent when Austin Metcalf approached and asked him to move.

Witnesses reported that the situation escalated rapidly after Anthony warned Metcalf, “Touch me and see what happens,” and reached into his bag. When Metcalf touched or pushed Anthony, the latter allegedly pulled out a black knife and stabbed Metcalf once in the chest before fleeing the scene.

Metcalf, clutching his chest and calling for help, collapsed into the arms of his identical twin brother, Hunter, who desperately tried to stop the bleeding. Emergency responders arrived swiftly, administering CPR and blood transfusions, but were unable to save him.

Jeff Metcalf, Austin’s father, told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth that his son was “stabbed in the heart,” a detail that has amplified the tragedy’s emotional weight. Police apprehended Anthony at the scene, where he made immediate, unprompted statements.

“I was protecting myself,”

He told an arresting officer, later adding that Metcalf had “put his hands on [him].” While being escorted to a police vehicle, Anthony reportedly declared, “I’m not alleged, I did it,” when referred to as the suspect.

Officers noted fresh blood on his left middle finger. During transport, Anthony inquired about Metcalf’s condition and asked if his actions could be considered self-defense.

Anthony now faces a first-degree murder charge and is being held at Collin County Jail on a $1 million bond. If convicted, he could face 5 to 99 years in prison. The Frisco Police Department says the investigation remains active.

Austin Metcalf was a standout student-athlete at Memorial High School, known for his leadership and talent. His father described him as an honor student and linebacker who was voted team MVP by his football teammates and coaches.

“Austin was a leader. He led the football team,”

Jeff Metcalf told Fox 4. His mother, Meghan, highlighted his bright future, noting interest from college football recruiters.

“He had such ambitions and a drive that’s hard to find in a kid,”

The loss is especially poignant for Austin’s twin brother, Hunter, who witnessed the stabbing.

“I tried to whip around as fast as I could,”

Hunter told WFAA, his voice breaking.

“I looked at my brother and tried to help him.”

The image of Austin dying in Hunter’s arms has reverberated through the community.

The incident has sparked concerns about security at school events. Parents are questioning what measures were in place at the track meet and whether bags are routinely checked. The Frisco school district has yet to address these concerns, with a spokesperson declining to comment.

In response, the community has rallied around the Metcalf family. A prayer vigil was held Wednesday evening at Hope Fellowship church, and the Frisco Police Department issued a statement expressing their “deepest condolences” to those affected by this “devastating loss.”

Jeff Metcalf, despite his grief, has extended forgiveness to Anthony.

“I’m not here to judge, but what kind of upbringing did this individual have? He brought a knife to a track meet and took my son’s life, I’ve already forgiven him. God will handle the situation.”

Reflecting on Austin’s potential, he added,

“He was going to impact this world with positivity. I’m so proud of him.”

As legal proceedings unfold, Frisco mourns a young life cut short and searches for answers. The tragedy has underscored the fragility of youth and the need for improved safety measures. The police urge anyone with information to contact their non-emergency line or text “FRISCOPD” to 847411 for anonymous tips.
