Good news, Tupac fans, more of the late legend’s personal items are up for sale and you have the opportunity to bid on them. 

As we all know, the rapper’s life was taken in a 1996 drive-by shooting on the West Coast. His murder has gone unsolved since, with many speculating that he faked his death. Regardless of what you believe, you can at least feel closer to Pac by owning of one of his most treasured items.

“The auctioneers have numerous Tupac-related items including two bandanas, one blue and one red, reportedly worn by the late rapper. ‘Tupac Shakur owned and worn blue bandana ‘do-rag,’ they wrote in the description, mistaking the folded and tied bandana for a du-rag. ‘The bandana came from the collection of a very close family friend of Tupac’s. Very good condition.’ They’re estimated to bring in upwards of $4,000 each,” HotNewHipHop reported earlier this week, adding “Other Tupac Shakur items for sale include a Death Row Records All Eyez On Me press release, the rapper’s hotel bill from The Mondrian, his diamond nose stud, a diamond gold ring, his handwritten lyrics to an unreleased song, a handwritten letter, a handwritten poem, and more.”

Kim and Kourtney Kardashian clawing each other up has been the focal part of their new season of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians”, but how did it get this far? On the season premiere episode, the ladies came to blows right as the credit were starting to roll. It seemed as if Kim triggered Kourtney to get up and put hands on her but it was still unclear as to how it got so heat and so fast.

In this new clip, Kourtney doubles down on why she’s DONE with Kim f*cking with her on camera. Kourtney feels as if Kim always paints the narrative that she’s “lazy” in front of production and fans and has been doing it for years. She’s asked her kindly to stop and Kim ignores it.

Kourtney thinks Kim goes out of her way to be negative towards her lifestyle on camera and Khloe’s still lost about the whole fight. Hit lay to see it.

Do you think that Kourtney’s actions are justified?

Rumor Mill: Tekashi 6ix9ine May Be Released From Prison Early Due To The Coronavirus

Tekashi69

Source: @JustInMyView / R1 Digital

Very few people are having good luck when it comes to the coronavirus, but the one group of people who have had a few blessings come out of it have been inmates. Inmates around the world are seeing early releases from both prisons and local jails due to fears of the outbreak running rampant in prison. Of course, when the releases started happening in New York, the first thought on the mind of many is that Tekashi 6ix9ine could be coming home earlier than expected.

6ix9ine filed a motion to ask for an early release due to his medical condition and was denied at first, but then, a situation of who has the power to say no came up. After that, InnerCityPress released the full motion.

Accordingly, in light of the analysis under Section 3553(a) detailed during the defendant’s sentencing and the Court’s March 25 Order, in the event the Court finds “extraordinary and compelling reasons” presented by the defendant’s medical condition, placing him at high risk during the COVID-19 outbreak, the Government does not oppose the defendant’s motion for compassionate release.”

US does not oppose. Here was Judge Engelmayer’s morning order on April 1: “ORDER as to Daniel Hernandez: The Court has received an application from counsel for Daniel Hernandez, Dkt. 445, representing that the Bureau of Prisons has now denied his request for compassionate relief and that the Court’s review under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c) of his application to convert the balance of his term of imprisonment to a term of home confinement is now administratively proper. The Court directs that the Government respond by no later than 5 p.m. today. The parties are advised that, provided that the Court has legal authority to grant the relief requested by defense counsel, the Court intends to do so SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 4/1/2020) (lnl).”

The US Government didn’t object to his release, making him a free man amid the COVID-19 outbreak. It’s also worth noting that Kooda B, who 6ix9ine snitched on during his time on the stand, was released just a few days ago. More than likely, Tekashi will be ordered to stay away from social media once he’s release, but if not, we’re sure he’ll be the first person on Instagram Live with all of his old antics.

Here’s Why Uncle Snoop Is Getting Dragged Back To Jada’s Red Table Timeout

1 of 11

❯

❮

Look, everybody’s stressed during these uncertain times which may explain why Uncle Snoop randomly shaded our shea buttery boo thang Ari Lennox under a video of her struggling to secure a lacefront wig.

Why Snoop jumped out the window and told Ari (who has more REAL hair than most R&B singers combined) to “grow her own hair” (especially after she defended him during GayleGate), we don’t know (boredumb? Cabin fever? WEED?), but he sparked spicy Twitter chatter just months after apologizing on Jada’s Red Table talk for the same sort of shade.

UPDATE – Ari responded:

Peep the Twitter hysteria over Snoop shading Ari Lennox on the flip.

“Imagine going to bat for Snoop calling a woman out her name (because the woman asked a practical question) just for Snoop to turn around and call you a baldhead scalliwag because you put a wig on your head” – at this point, anything is possible (and by anything, we mean ANYTHING)

“Welcome back to the show, Snoop” – it’s only a matter of time

“Snoop at the red table talk when Jada scolds him again” – Snoop gave us a helluva performance the last time he was there

“Not only is he disrespecting her, he’s disrespecting my mom, my sisters, my aunts, and my cousins – I said “not Snoop” – oh yes, it’s definitely your Snoop being Snoop (AGAIN)

“This how you know Snoop don’t even KNOW who Ari Lennox is, cuz Ari has a WHOLE AFRO of natural hair. She’s prolly worn wigs 3x TOPS. Defending a man who wouldn’t even keep scrolling for you.” – that’s literally all he had to do. Scroll.

Ari *wears her long natural hair ALL THE TIME, but plays around with a wig on IG live out of boredom and to entertain her fans*

Nobody:

Not a soul:

Not even Dr Umar Johnson:

Snoop Dog: GROW YOUR OWN HAIR!!!!” – ya kinda hate to see it

“Snoop telling Ari to “grow her own hair” meanwhile his wife and daughter..” – well yea, of course

“Ari Lennox supporting Snoop Dogg disrespecting Black women by dragging Black women, only for Snoop to drag her unprovoked is a proverb.

The Lion that fights it’s own Pride to protect Hyenas, will one day be their source of food.

Didn’t y’all learn anything from the Lion King?” – tell ’em sis

“snoop said ari lennox, shea butter baby queen, needs to grow her own hair. the same ari that wears and embraces her natural hair. the same ari who doesn’t wear makeup on live. the same ari that has more hair than him. ok.” – ….yea

“Ari Lennox got time for Snoop Dogg” – she (and the rest of us) have all the time in the world until July August September?

Royal Caribbean Cruise Won’t Give Nurses Refunds for Convention

Exclusive

The no-refunds rage continues — this time it’s folks on the frontlines helping us fight coronavirus who are getting screwed, and it’s all because a cruise line won’t budge.

TMZ has learned … Royal Caribbean Cruises is NOT refunding a bunch of nurses who were supposed to board one of its behemoth boats this year for a networking convention called NURSECON at Sea, which was canceled as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.

It sucks, ’cause it’s left a lot of cash-strapped RNs pissed off and wanting their money back. They’re getting a rain check for another event down the line, but that’s not cutting it with some of the heroes who want their money back, and STAT.

According to a letter NURSECON brass sent to ticket holders for the conference, it’s spelled out pretty clearly … anybody who was going to NURSECON 2020 (which was at first postponed, later canceled) will get to join any NURSECON voyage in the future through 2023. They’ll also get cruise ship spending credit — up to $100 worth.

And, if nurses who were going ended up shelling out cash for extra vacay packages — excursions, drink and meal plans, etc. — Royal Caribbean WILL refund them for that — but not for the big-ticket item … the cost of the cruise.

That’s about it … no mention of a refund in full for the trip itself this year. It wasn’t NURSECON’s decision, however, as sources familiar with the negotiations between that company and Royal Caribbean tell us, it’s actually RC Cruises honchos who wouldn’t give the cash back. So, if there’s someone to be mad at, it’s the cruise line.

For the record, a rep for NURSECON doesn’t see any blame to go around for anybody involved, insisting the rescheduled cruises and cruise credit was the best option for all parties, insisting that most of their patrons (the nurses) are actually pleased with the deal.

That’s not how some of the nurses we spoke with directly felt. We’re told the no-refund policy is a slap in the face — and a promise for a future sail isn’t making up for it either.

Fact is … nurses, too, are having a hard time to make ends meet … and every penny counts right now. They also deserve every break they can get these days, frankly. So, yeah … they would like their money back, ’cause they didn’t cancel … the bigwigs did.

Mask Off?!? Nurses At Oklahoma Hospital Not Allowed To Wear Protective Masks Made To Combat Coronavirus

Coronavirus Pandemic Causes Climate Of Anxiety And Changing Routines In America

Source: Mario Tama / Getty

Coronavirus is making some people very, very sick and making others very, very stupid.

Nurses working in the COVID response wing of INTEGRIS hospitals in Oklahoma are complaining that they have been banned from protecting themselves by any means necessary from the disease while treating infected patients.

As most of America is well aware, proper hospital supplies are drawing scarce as the 24/7 effort to heal ailing people grows more difficult every day. One nurse who spoke to KFOR under the condition of anonymity said she fears losing her job for speaking out by she fears getting sick even more.

“Now there’s just a massive overwhelming feeling of distrust,” one nurse told KFOR. “If they’re not willing to protect our lives at a fundamental level, what are they willing to do?”

She went on:

“Friday afternoon, I called my financial investment guy and I doubled my life insurance policy. Just because I have kids at home,” the nurse said. “If it’s a forgone conclusion that I will be positive at some point, I don’t have the kind of guarantee that I will be OK.”

That’s how bad Donald Trump the federal legion of bootlickers have let this pandemic get. Parents are bolstering plans to support their children after their untimely demise. S#!ts f***ed up.

When questioned about these accusations, Chief Nurse Executive at INTEGRIS Health Kerri Bayer said this:

“All caregivers have been provided appropriate PPE to take care of their patients safely based on their care setting. At this time, we have not supported utilization of PPE that is not medical grade unless it has been approved and deemed safe by the INTEGRIS System Incident Command. We understand there is concern and real fear surrounding COVID-19, therefore our clinical and infection prevention teams are actively discussing a solution to expand PPE usage for our caregivers.

We are providing PPE to our caregivers that provides evidence-based protection while they provide care. At this time, we have not supported utilization of PPE that is not medical grade unless it has been approved and deemed safe by the INTEGRIS System Incident Command.

Our number priority, always, is the safety of our patients and caregivers. This stands true in the face of a pandemic more than ever.

The masks being provided to patients and their families are the hand-sewn masks donated from the community. These are not medical grade and therefore not approved for use by our caregivers.”

Somebody got some ‘splaining to do. There are other hospitals in the area being accused of this same practice. Read the whole story on KFOR.

Suddenly, all of their decisions can be second-guessed by the giant firm that is literally on top of them. While STR Laurie initially seem like benevolent overlords, we find Diane Lockhart and her colleagues chafing at their loss of independence while simultaneously investigating the emergence of a mysterious “Memo 618.”

The cast of THE GOOD FIGHT includes Christine Baranski, Cush Jumbo, Audra McDonald, Sarah Steele, Michael Boatman, Nyambi Nyambi, Zach Grenier, John Larroquette and Delroy Lindo. Hugh Dancy also joined season four in a recurring role.
