Hundreds Of Kobe Fans Ignored Police Warnings To Attend STAPLES Center Vigil

After winning his first Grammy award for IGOR and delivering a moving speech about how he ‘never felt fully accepted in rap’, Tyler – full name Tyler Gregory Okonma – was asked how he felt about the voting process.

The artist got candid with his response, making reference to the racial bias that exists within the voting process and referring to his nomination as a ‘backhanded compliment’.

During the video, the 28-year-old said he was ‘half and half’ on how he felt about the process, stating: ‘On one side I’m very grateful that what I made could just be acknowledged in a world like this.’

He continued:

But also it sucks that whenever we — and I mean guys that look like me — do anything that’s genre-bending or that’s anything they always put it in a rap or urban category. I don’t like that urban word — it’s just a politically correct way to say the n-word to me.

So when I hear that, I’m just like why can’t we be in pop? Half of me feels like the rap nomination was just a backhanded compliment. Like, my little cousin wants to play the game. Let’s give him the unplugged controller so he can shut up and feel good about it — that’s what it felt like a bit.

But another part of me is very grateful that the art that I made could be acknowledged on a level like this when I don’t do the radio stuff. I’m not played in Target. I’m in a whole different world than what a lot of people here listen to.

The question was posed to Tyler in the light of recent allegations that significant gender and racial bias exists internally at the Recording Academy.

Former Grammys CEO Deborah Dugan made the allegations in a complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on January 21, less than a week after she was placed on administrative leave.

The complaint accused the Academy of retaliation and voting irregularities, shedding light on the Grammys’ gender imbalance and the music industry’s issues of inequality as a whole. However, in a public statement, the Academy accused Dugan of creating an ‘abusive and bullying’ environment.

Many black artists, including Frank Ocean and Kanye West, have declined to submit records for nomination in recent years, often implying the Grammys refuses to acknowledge powerful black artists.

Kobe, 41, and his daughter Gianna, 13, were travelling in the helicopter with seven other people when it crashed yesterday, January 26. The LA county sheriff said there were no survivors.

Less than 12 hours earlier, LeBron passed Kobe to become the third-highest scorer in NBA history, a fact that made him emotional when talking about the impact the basketball great had on his own career.

You can watch LeBron’s tribute in full below:

On Saturday night, LeBron scored 29 points during the Lakers’ defeat to the Philadelphia 76ers to take him to 33,655 career points – 12 more than Kobe.

After the game, the 35-year-old, who considered Kobe one of his heroes, spoke about how Kobe helped him on his own journey in the NBA, saying he grew up ‘through the ranks when Kobe came into the leagues’.

LeBron told ESPN:

As I started playing more ball and went into high school, the things he was doing on the floor I admired and wanted to be a part of. I went to camp and he came to speak to the kids, and I was just listening. I tried to soak everything up that I could.

I can remember one thing that he said. He said that, ‘If you want to be one of the greats you have to put the work in. There is no substitution to work.’ I was a 15-year-old kid at that camp. In 2001, I was playing in New Jersey and the All-Star team was playing in Philadelphia.

He said Kobe then gave him a pair of his shoes that he ended up wearing the following night. ‘I was a 15 and he was a 14, but I wore them anyway,’ he said.

LeBron continued:

He has zero flaws offensively. I admired that he was in a place where defenses were at bay and couldn’t guard him at all. He was immortal offensively. It was a dream come true to line up alongside him after admiring him for so many years.

To make a long story short, I’m now in a Lakers uniform, in Philly where he is from, and where I first met him. It is unreal. It makes no sense. The universe puts things in your life and when you are living the right way things happen organically.

I am happy just being in any conversation about Kobe Bean Bryant. He is one of the all-time greatest ever basketball players to play one of the greatest Lakers – the man had two jerseys hanging up at Staples Centre.

It’s believed Kobe and Gianna were on their way to one of the teenager’s basketball practices when the crash occurred, along with Orange Coast College baseball coach John Altobelli, his daughter Alyssa Altobelli, and wife Keri Altobelli.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said nine people were on the helicopter, a pilot and eight passengers. He would not confirm who had died until all the next of kin had been notified.

The helicopter departed from John Wayne Airport just after 9am on Sunday, with the crash happening shortly before 10am in Calabasas.

Kobe and Gianna are survived by his wife, Vanessa, and their three other daughters, Natalia, Bianca and Capri.

Our thoughts are with the Bryant family and the loved ones of all those who died at this difficult time.

Rest in peace.

A bride and groom toasted their wedding vows by having a ‘first toke’ as husband and wife, using matching Mr and Mrs bongs.

Coral Reefer and her husband Mio decided to combine their love of cannabis and each other by commissioning personalized bongs for their wedding last month.

Their photographer Rachel Artime said the couple’s passion for weed, which is legal in California, made their wedding one of the most unconventional she’s ever been to.

Rachel captured unique pictures of Coral in her wedding dress and veil with her groom Mio by her side, with both simultaneously puffing on their bongs.

The couple blow clouds of smoke in wisps around them, before Coral smiles directly at the camera.

Other photos taken later in the day show Coral puffing on her bong alone, before exhaling the smoke towards the camera, in probably the most unusual wedding photos you’ll ever see.

Rachel, 24, had created similar engagement photos for Coral and Mio featuring them smoking blunts, and Coral even had hemp included in her wedding bouquet.

The photographer, from Los Angeles, said:

I’m really happy with the pictures. I love the smoke. It makes them look haunting and romantic in a weird way.

I’ve never had to photograph anything like this before. This is the most unconventional and non-traditional thing to happen at a wedding [I’ve been to].

Every wedding I’ve done is the most normal thing ever, so this is quite the experience to be photographing people literally smoking a blunt at their wedding. It was like nothing I’d ever seen before.

Rachel continued:

People all over my Instagram were so into it. People were saying they had never seen this. I have never seen a bong at a wedding.

I take wedding photos all the time but to see a photo with weed go viral is so fascinating.

With the positive feedback on a drug that was illegal and is now legal, it’s just fascinating to see how people are supportive and love the photos.

It was all mine and Coral’s vision and their passion.

The 24-year-old added that ‘it’s cool to see a bride and groom’s passion in all they plan for their wedding, and to be so supported [globally]. It’s their story.’

She continued:

Coral is wonderful – she knows what she wants. She told me she wanted this photo with the smoke and we had engagement photos done in the same way.

They were really excited about their matching Mr and Mrs bongs, which were handmade and very cool.

Being in Santa Cruz in a redwood forest, and in her white dress, the contrast was just so pretty with the white smoke. It’s not a conventional wedding photo at all.

It was so fun because I do a wedding a weekend, so it was like a creative challenge to have new things to work with.

Coral shared a selection of her wedding images online with the caption ‘to have and to toke, forever and ever’.

According to multiple reports, French Montana has been hospitalized for an elevated heart rate compounded by intense stomach pain. TCF reports that authorities were called to French's home in Calabasas in response to a possible burglary. What ended up being a false alarm turned out to be a blessing in disguise for French as responding deputies called for emergency medical personnel after noticing how unwell the rapper looked.

French was taken to San Fernando Valley hospital where he was treated for severe nausea, stomach pain, and an elevated heart rate. A rep close to French points out the rapper's tour schedule and other endeavors might have a role in his condition over the past few weeks.

French Montana took to Twitter to reveal that he's been in the ICU for six days after being admitted for an elevated heart rate and intense stomach pains. As previously reported, police showed up to French's home after his neighbors called believing that his house was being burglarized. However, they found the famed rapper in extreme pain and called 911 and he was taken to a nearby hospital for care.

While it's still unclear what exact health issues French is battling, Megan Thee Stallion decided to pay him a visit. She uploaded a video of her sitting on French's hospital bed while telling viewers that French needed to get out asap. You can check out both videos above.

The streets of Culiacán, Mexico, have been ablaze with gunfire and fighting after word got out authorities had captured El Chapo’s son, Ovidio Guzmán López.

Home of El Chapo’s Sinaloa cartel, Culiacán erupted with the sound of sniper rifles while masked men strapped with machine guns rode around on the back of trucks, opening fire on Mexican security forces, as well as the country’s newly created national guard.

Meanwhile, horrifying videos emerged, showing gunmen burning vehicles as a barricade in a bid to block several streets within the city.

Ovidio and his brother Joaquin were charged with drug trafficking in February. The siblings were accused of conspiring to distribute cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana from Mexico into the United States, and other parts of the world, between 2008 and 2018. The pair were fugitives at the time and were believed to be hiding in Mexico.

After his father was sentenced to life in prison, Ovidio attempted to gain control of the Sinaloa cartel, however he faced pushback from its co-founder Ismael ‘El Mayo’ Zambada, who is believed to have wanted him out.

On Thursday, Ovidio was detained by the Mexican National Guard and army troops, who raided a house in Culiacán where he was staying, according to Mexican security secretary Alfonso Durazo.

But as word spread of his arrest, the streets of Culiacán were likened to a warzone as cartel members opened fire on Mexican authorities.

However, it has now been revealed Mexican officials have decided to release Joaquin ‘to protect lives’ after cartel members turned the Mexican city into an urban warzone, New York Post reports.

According to Durazo, the government knew the armed gunmen had a ‘greater force’ as they surrounded the house where Ovidio was being held, prompting officials to let him go, knowing they were being outmatched.

As per the New York Times, he said:

The decision was taken to retreat from the house, without Guzman, to try to avoid more violence in the area and preserve the lives of our personnel and recover calm in the city.

The lawyer representing Ovidio, José Luis Gonzalez Meza, gave a television appearance, praising the move.

According to reports in the Wall Street Journal, he said:

Thank God, Ovidio has appeared. He is free.

A single father who has taken in dozens of foster children over the years just adopted five siblings under the age of five so they could all stay together.

Lamont Thomas, from Buffalo, New York, became a father of 12 when he adopted Zendaya, 5, Jamel, 4, Nakia, 3, Major, 2, and Michaela, 1, on October 17.

The proud father is now a dad to 10 adopted children and two biological children, and has fostered more than 30 children since 2000.

Thomas told Good Morning America he was ‘fighting to keep back the tears’ when the news became official and said his eyes ‘swell up’ every time he thinks about it. ‘All that we endured to make this happen, it was something,’ he added.

The single dad said he first started fostering to ‘help out some friends’ who had ‘lost their child to the system’. After getting certified to become a foster parent all those years ago, he has never looked back since.

His first adoptions were in 2007, when he took in twins Germayne and Tremayne and another child, Jamie. Shortly after that, he adopted a child called German. Then, after those initial adoptions, Thomas adopted the first child he ever fostered – Michael.

Michael, 27, told GMA Thomas ‘never turned [a child] away,’ adding: ‘He was my third foster home and it ended up being my forever home. He [knew] my biological parents’.

His five adopted children then joined Thomas’ biological son, Anthony, and daughter, LaMonica, with the family of eight having just grown even bigger with the adoption of Zendaya, Jamel, Nakia, Major, and Michaela.

Despite believing he had ‘retired’ from taking care of children, with some of his older children having moved out and started families of their own, Thomas leapt into action when he learned the five siblings needed a place to call home.

After getting re-certified, the father applied to foster with intent to adopt to prevent the siblings from getting split up again; they had been separated for approximately 18 months – in four different homes, in four different cities – due to neglect.
