London has been releasing things every 1-2 years since 2009. He got his big break in 2015 after working with Kanye West on single, “All Day”. His last release was in 2020, so it would be about time for the next release, if this incident did not happen, that is.

On the 27th, London’s family filed a missing person report to LAPD. They claim that the last time that they had heard from him was in July. They had spent the last couple of weeks trying to find him, but now are reaching out to the public. This matches up with his Instagram account. He regularly posted on it, however, the last post was also in July.

A spokesperson for LAPD has confirmed that they have received a report for London. However, they still have not updated their missing person’s database.

His father, Lary Moses London, had released a personal message for Theophilus in the statement. “Theo, your Dad loves you, son. We miss you. And all your friends and relatives are searching for you. Wherever you are send us some signal. No matter what we will come get you son.”

Megan Thee Stallion’s Bodyguard Is Not Officially Missing

Megan Thee Stallion Bodyguard Officially Not Gone

Megan Thee Stallion’s bodyguard has technically not gone missing. The LAPD spoke with TMZ to report that there is no open case set for the rapper’s bodyguard. His real name is Justin Edison, and his alleged disappearance has yet to get to the point where the police would classify Edison as missing.

Her attorney Alex Spiro tweeted earlier that Edison had disappeared right before he was to head into court to testify. “We recently learned that Justin Edison went missing right before he was scheduled to appear in court,” Spiro tweeted. “The LAPD is currently looking into his disappearance and welcomes any information about his whereabouts.”

There are also reports that Edison’s attorney has yet to hear from Megan Thee Stallion’s bodyguard since the incident, as he potentially has valuable information.

Justin Edison Might Have Valuable Information

According to The Shade Room, Megan’s former best friend Kelsey Harris texted Edison “Help” shortly after the incident. According to testimony, Harris also let Edison know that Tory “shot” Megan. The report also claims that Edison allegedly admitted that Tory apologized to him for shooting Megan. Edison has not been active on social media since his disappearance.

Megan’s Bestie, Kelsey Harris, Speaks Out

Megan Thee Stallion’s now former best friend Kelsey Harris testified last Thursday and backtracked her initial story from her a few months ago. In an interview in September, Harris stated that Tory Lanez did shoot her that night. Months later, Harris testified that “her team told me she stepped on glass.” 

Harris has denied all claims that Lanez had paid her before her appearance. The reports claim Lanez had offered Harris a million dollars to not tell authorities he had shot her.

The trial on the July 2020 incident began on December 12. Tory Lanez, real name Daystar Peterson, is currently on trial for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot after an argument broke between the two.

YG Is No Longer A Suspect In Robbery Investigation

YG is no longer a suspect in the 2020 robbery case. The LA District Attorney Office declined to file charges against the Compton artist. It turns out that not enough evidence was present to prosecute him.

“Not enough evidence of what defendant did to aid and abet the crime. Presence during the crime alone is not sufficient,” the Office’s statement declares.

The Robbery Investigation

The robbery investigation took almost two years. Law enforcement arrested YG back in January 2020. The authorities raided the artist’s house in the early morning.

“They come through like four in the morning. We asleep, the helicopter had come around and all that,” YG then explained to The Morning Hustle. “So boom, I bounced up like, ‘What’s going on?’ Boom! They bang the door in, trying to get in the door, so I go downstairs. I open the door – boom! They draw down on me. That’s normal, but my kids at the time were 4 years old and 6 years old.”

“This arrest is one that caught YG completely off guard because there is no truth to them,” YG’s lawyer Joe Tacopina said regarding the robbery arrest. “YG has no idea what investigators are talking about, and we have not been provided with any details … we are learning about this case through the media.” Tacopina also promised to prove his client’s innocence.

One thing Tacopina also pointed is the arrest’s timing. “YG has a performance scheduled at The Grammy’s Sunday where he will honor Nipsey Hussle … so the timing is suspect, to put it mildly,” Tacopina claimed.

Another Compton artist, The Game, also commented on the YG’s arrest.

YG Talks About “The Robbery Raid” And Arrest

Later in the year, YG spoke about the arrest. The artist then talked about raids and police pointing guns at his kids.

“They go up in the room, and they got the big AKs all in my little kids’ face like, ‘Don’t move!'” YG shared in the interview. “I’m like, bro, what the fuck is y’all doing? Y’all got me fucked up! They doing this to my little kids! And these are little girls!”

The artist also mentioned his previous experiences with law enforcement. YG claimed his background played a role in the robbery arrest harshness.

“I been through a lot of other stuff with the police, but I’m from the streets though, you feel me?” he said. “So it’s like I got a target on my back already from that, and I know that, so it ain’t really nothing to talk about. Because it’s like when you’re from a certain area, the police gon’ fuck with you.”

Man Arrested Who Shot And Killed Jacqueline Avant In A Home Invasion

Today, authorities conducted arrests in connection to Jacqueline Avant’s murder. Beverly Hills police Chief Mark Stainbrook announced the arrest of Aariel Maynor, 29, in connection with the shooting. Police say Maynor shot himself in the foot during an alleged burglary of another home. Shot himself in the foot indeed, with the AR-15 rifle Maynor used during the incident.

Reports state that shots rang out in the Beverly Hills neighborhood of Trousdale Estates. Home invaders entered the house of music executive Clarence Avant and fired shots that claimed the life of Avant’s wife.

Beverly Hills, LAPD got alerts after locating Maynor on the 6000 block of Graciosa Drive. He was immobile due to a gunshot wound to the foot. In contrast, this happened while attempting to burglarize another home. 

Also, cameras caught Maynor’s vehicle in the neighborhood. This while leaving the Avant’s home.

The beloved Jacqueline Avant

Jacqueline Alberta Gray was born on March 6, 1940, in Jamaica Queens, New York. She began as a hospital technician and phlebotomist in New York City. Also, she modeled for Ebony Fashion Fair. Eunice Johnson created this annual fashion show and fundraising event of Chicago’s Johnson Publishing Company, thus, striking a philanthropic background for Jaquie. While the show focused on the Black neighborhood, it featured primarily African-American models wearing luxury European designers like Yves Saint Laurent and Givenchy.

Clarence and Jaqueline met in the 1960s and began their power couple movement in fashion and music.

Jacqueline made history in uniting Black politics and entertainment. Clarence accumulated mounds of love and respect with his wife Jaqueline throughout his career. Clarence is now with his daughter Nicole, married to the Netflix CEO, Ted Sarandos.

Here are heartfelt Tweets that illustrate the love yet frustration with this tragic, senseless act.

What is wrong with humanity?

While many wonder why someone would shoot an 81-year-old woman, the search for words looms. Unfortunately, this act of violence will shake feelings of safety. Inhumane acts are taking place daily but are hard to digest nonetheless.

There has been a slew of burglaries within the past month. Seemingly, women have been unlucky in this arena of attacks. In September, Hitman Holla’s girlfriend was shot during a burglary attempt while home alone. Sierra of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta shared she was a victim of a home invasion. Erica Mena, also from Love and Hip Hop, was a home invasion victim this year. Safaree, the husband of Erica, shared publicly for fear that women and children need better protection.

As the influx of home invasions alert many, we must continue to push for the seriousness of protecting the lives of families. Celebrities are and have always been a target for violent burglaries. The safety concerns may not immediately subside, but it is a call to take them seriously.

While this is a developing story, we continue to send prayers to the Avant’s and other victims’ families.

Nipsey Hussle’s Memorial Reportedly To Be Removed

Nipsey Hussle
Nipsey Hussle

A memorial established outside of Nipsey Hussle’s Marathon Clothing store will be removed due to solicitors trying to profit off of Nipsey’s murder. The sacred site had become a pilgrimage for fans wanting to pay homage to the Grammy-nominated artist and community activist.  Sadly, it turned into a haven for hustlers preying on grieving fans.  Vendors were selling everything from t-shirts to neighborhood tours to food. Nipsey’s family and close friends have had enough of this blatant disrespect.

Yet, this is not the first time that hustlers have tried to make a quick buck from his untimely death. Scalpers attempted to charge ridiculous prices for free tickets to Nipsey’s celebration of life, and those who attended the service even sold programs on eBay.

Celebration of Life Service for Nipsey Hussle

Emerging in the mid-2000s, Hussle became known for his numerous mixtapes, including his Bullets Ain’t Got No Name series, The Marathon, The Marathon Continues and Crenshaw. His debut album Victory Lap was released in February 2018.

Hussle, born Ermias Davidson Asghedom was fatally shot in the parking lot of a strip mall on April 1, 2019, by Eric Holder. According to LAPD statements, Hussle and Holder had a “tense exchange”.  During which Hussle asked Holder if he was a police informant. Holder left the scene insulted by the accusation. He then returned with a gun shooting Nipsey and two others. Prosecutors charged Holder with one count of murder, two counts of attempted murder and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon. Holder has pleaded not guilty and is currently awaiting trial.

Sources claim his family plans to honor his legacy following the launch of his foundation.

Rest in Power Nip!
