Topics included:
Nelly arrested at St. Louis Casino
Grammy-winning rapper Nelly was arrested early Wednesday morning at the Hollywood Casino in St. Charles, St. Louis. The Missouri State Highway Patrol stopped Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Haynes Jr., around 4:45 a.m. during a routine identity check that revealed an outstanding warrant for no car insurance from a previous stop. During the search, officers reportedly found four ecstasy pills on him. Nelly’s attorney, Scott Rosenblum, argues that the arrest was unjustified because an overzealous officer targeted Nelly, especially since he had just won several jackpots at the casino. Rosenblum is confident the case will not be pursued and is calling for an investigation into the officer’s actions.
Fugees cancel US tour dates
The Fugees have canceled their US tour to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Lauryn Hill’s legendary album. The deformity of Lauryn Hill. The tour was scheduled to kick off in Tampa on August 9, but the trio, consisting of Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and Pras, decided to cancel the tour three days before the scheduled start. Lauryn Hill announced the cancellation on Instagram, citing “difficulties” as the reason. However, the UK shows will go on as planned. The cancellation follows a difficult time for the group, with Lauryn struggling with vocal issues and claiming that media sensationalism had a negative impact on ticket sales. Hill expressed her disappointment and assured fans that they will return once the issues are resolved.
Kai Cenat responds to possible Kamala Harris stream
Streaming star Kai Cenat revealed that the Secret Service has repeatedly called him to arrange to work with Vice President Kamala Harris. Cenat, who typically avoids politics, shared his surprise during a live stream where his reaction went viral. This came shortly after former President Trump’s appearance on Adin Ross’ stream, which garnered over 1.5 million views. Although Cenat has not committed to an interview with Harris, he did mention that his first question would be, “Why did you guys call me?” As Harris ramps up her online campaign efforts following President Biden’s decision not to run in 2024, this possible connection could be one to keep an eye on.
