Cam’ron was on CNN and other things that caught my eye
I don’t know who booked that man for Abby Phillip’s show, but I’m sure they were in a lot of meetings the next day.
I have a lot going on right now. Family stuff. Medical stuff. Work stuff. Life stuff. Everything and nothing are happening at once. It’s a lot to walk through.
You know how you are juggling multiple things at once, and all the balls are in the air, and it’s looking kind of crazy, but somehow you are confident that you are not going to drop any of them?
That’s where I’m at with it.
Anyway, here’s some stuff that caught my eye over the last week or so:
I mentioned this last time, but I wrote “The ‘Black Wife Effect’ trend on TikTok has some Black men in their feelings” for theGrio
Since we last spoke, a video came out showing Sean Combs physically assaulting Cassie. In the video, it appears that she was in the process of trying to escape him when he came out, grabbed her, and started pushing, kicking, and rough handling her.
The video was horrific, and I feel for Cassie even more because I’m sure that was just one of many times he put his hands on her like that.
Of course, after the video came out, Sean Combs (make his real name trend) put out a video “apology” that was so full of shit, I could smell it through the screen. This man couldn’t even say Cassie’s name.
He’s apologizing now, but when she initially made her claims in the lawsuit, he called her a liar and said she was just after money, so is it Oochie Wally or One Mic?
He’s not sorry he’s an abuser; he’s sorry the proof is out there.
I hope he gets everything that’s coming to him.
I wrote about it for theGrio: “Sean Combs’ apology video shows us the difference between remorse and regret”
Monday night, rapper Cam’ron was a guest on Abby Phillip’s CNN show, and he was presumably called there to discuss the Sean Combs situation. Cam’ron showed his entire ass in that segment, and I was so high, I laughed all the way through it.
He said, “I’m going to go get some cheeks after this” on national television.
In the last post, I typed “two” when I meant “to,” and I don’t even know how that happened because if you know me, you know I hate confused homophones, but I’ll blame it on weed and going too fast and y’all not saying shit about it when you saw it.
I paused reading A Man In Full and started this urban fiction series that caught my eye. There are four books in the series, and the first three are all less than 200 pages, so I blew through them over the weekend. I’m currently reading the fourth, and it’s dragging, but I want to know how it all ends, so I’m pushing through.
That got me thinking about things that will make me DNF (did not finish) a book. I’m pushing through this one, but there have been others that I’ve been like “Nope!” and just deleted them off my Kindle.
What makes you DNF a book?
If you aren’t familiar with Corey Richardson, you should get familiar. I linked to this post in my column about Sean Combs (spell that man’s full name out. Don’t let him get away with the “cute” nicknames), but it’s worth linking to it again here because points were made, friends.
A week later, I am still laughing at Jasmine Crockett eating Marjorie Taylor Green’s ass up.
This tweet is fucking hilarious, but you have to be both of a certain age and up-to-date on pop culture to get the reference.
“Not Like Us” is all over L.A. right now (and other places too). Kendrick really gave us a summer anthem.
I said it before, and I’ll say it again: I randomly say “A minorrrrrrrrr,” “Mustard on the beat, ho,” and “WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP” unprovoked multiple times a day.
Similarly, that “Million Dollar Baby” song is everywhere now too, and it is also likely I am randomly saying “I ain’t never rep no set, baby” for no reason at all multiple times a day.
That’s everything. For now.
