Fans flooded into Dodgers Stadium on Nov. 16 and 17 for Camp Flog Gnaw 2024, celebrating the 10th anniversary of Tyler, The Creator’s first festival.

CFG (formerly known as the OFWGKTA Carnival or Odd Future carnival) is an annual music festival and carnival curated by Tyler, the Creator and has been held annually since its inception in 2012, taking a pause in 2020 to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year marked the festival’s 10th iteration, stacking the lineup with classic Odd Future favorites like Tyler, Earl Sweatshirt, Domo Genesis, Syd and Left Brain.

In February 2025, Tyler, the Creator will embark on his Chromakopia World Tour in support of his new album of the same name. This weekend, he performed songs from the No. 1 album for the first time, drawing a huge crowd as Saturday night’s headliner. In addition to throwing it back to some old hits like “DOGTOOTH.” and “She,” he brought out special guests including Sexyy Red to perform her verse on his Chromakopia track “Sticky.”

Earl Sweatshirt also did some fan service by performing songs both new and old, packing out the FLOG stage to perform tracks including “Molasses” and “Vin Skully,” perfect for the festival’s location at Dodgers Stadium. Tyler even came out at the end of Earl’s set, sparking a sweet moment between the two as they embraced onstage in honor of the festival’s decade long presence.

Festival veteran Vince Staples also had a huge showing for his set, going back as far as 2015 to perform his smash hit “Norf Norf” before ending his set with “Étouffée,” a track off his 2024 project, Dark Times.

A lot of sets over the weekend were packed with special guests and collaborations, showing the camaraderie between much of the lineup this year. Sets like Alchemist and Friends and Mustard and Friends were particularly packed with surprise appearances, with the Alchemist bringing out Earl, Action Bronson, and Boldy James and Mustard tapping Roddy Ricch and YG.

A surprise favorite among concert-goers was FM Mood, a tribute to the late great MF DOOM. Not knowing what to expect from the performance, a lot of the crowd expected a simple DJ set of DOOM’s songs, but instead, fans were treated to a live orchestra, mezmerizing the crowd with horns, keys, drums, and more. Yet another Dodgers reference came as orchestral conductor Miguel Atwood-Ferguson took the stage in a Fernando Valenzuela jersey, also rocking a mask akin to DOOM’s famous facewear.

Erykah Badu and Madlib also took the stage alongside the live orchestra, adding a special sentimentality to the performance.

It was a beautiful weekend seeing some of Los Angeles’ most beloved musicians come together to put on a great show, honoring a decade of Camp Flog Gnaw and Tyler, The Creator’s endless creativity. Until next year!

Any story about a child being hurt is always going to spark strong emotions, but the idea that a child would be purposely harmed in a way that evokes historical bigotry is hurtful tenfold.

According to WUSA 9, a Black 7-year-old second grader at C. Paul Barnhart Elementary School in Waldorf, Md., was hospitalized after he was hanged in a bathroom stall by a fourth-grade student. The parents didn’t want the child to be publicly identified. However, the boy’s mother posted an emotional message on her Instagram page that has been “liked” over 650,000 times and shared over 370,000 times:

“My child who is a second grader was hung in the boys’ bathroom by a fourth grader,” she wrote. “I received the most traumatizing phone call from the school stating that my child was being rushed to children’s hospital in NW. The principal went into the bathroom & found my baby foaming out the mouth & unconscious.”

WUSA 9 spoke to the parents, and they described their son’s injuries as “marks under his eyes, like blood vessels; he still has bruises on his neck from being choked.” The hospital listed the child’s injury as a neck contusion formed from blunt trauma.

The school acknowledged the incident and released a statement to the parents and staff:

The idea that this boy’s jacket was “caught on a stall door hook” and it hanged him to the point where he had to be hospitalized sounds ridiculous to our ears, and the family isn’t buying it either.

“My son did tell me that when they were in the bathroom, he said the little boy told him ‘I’m going to show you how I did people back in the day,’ that’s why I feel like it’s bullying,” his mother said. “It’s not telling how many other kids this has happened to.”

How the hell would a fourth grader know anything about “back in the day” unless he was taught by his parents??

We need answers. We’re not letting this story fall by the wayside.

Pacman Jones was arrested after Jake Paul Vs Mike Tyson for alleged public intoxication and assaulting an officer.

This weekend Mike Tyson’s return to the ring against Jake Paul garnered the attention of people across the globe. The event was hosted at Jerry Jones’ “Jerry World” in Dallas Texas prompting many NFL legends to make the trip to watch. While the event went exactly like most expected everyone had a great time. Unfortunately for Pacman Jones the fun was over once he made it to his hotel nearby the arena.

According to TMZ, Jones was arrested in the early morning after the Loews Arlington Hotel fight. Allegedly Pacman was charged with public intoxication, evading arrest, assault on a police officer, and evading arrest. Since it is the weekend the former NFL player will stay in jail until he can see a judge on Monday.

“Like thousands of other people in Dallas last night, Pac was in town for the fight and was enjoying himself, spending time with the fans.” reps for Pacman said. “Pacman was returning to his hotel to wind down for the evening. He was not looking for trouble.”

While it’s still unclear what exactly went down reps for Pacman seem ready to plead their case. Jones has had several run-ins with the police in recent years including a recent arrest at the Cincinnati. Jones’s airport arrest allegedly involved him being intoxicated as well. Hopefully this can be sorted out and put behind him with help from Mr. Jerry Jones.
