Cameron Devon Henegan, better known as North Carolina rapper Cam Coldheart, died unexpectedly on April 24. His aunt, who uses the handle @empresstia_majesticplus on Instagram, shared the news on social media.
Charlotte Alerts described Henegan as an “up and coming” rapper in the area. He had more than 100,000 followers on Instagram.
Henegan’s cause of death has not yet been released or confirmed by official sources. His aunt, who goes by the name “Empress Tia” on Instagram, shared a theory on social media.
In response to a question about how her nephew had died, she responded, “We won’t know for sure until the autopsy is done… But there is speculation that he was drugged at a club the night before…”
Henegan well-known in 2019 because of a physcical altercation with fellow rapper DaBaby. Cheatsheet reported in May 2019 that the two musicians had been engaged in a rivalry that came to a head in a Louis Vuitton store. Henegan was accused of instigating the fight. According to Hot New Hip Hop, DaBaby won the fight after knocking Henegan to the ground and leaving him with a bloody nose.
But Henegan also later claimed the Louis Vuitton altercation had been largely staged. Henegan insisted it had been a hoax intended to generate attention. “Some parts was real, but it was definitely heavily fabricated after the fact. That’s Hollywood for you. Everything I said after that sh*t happened, everything on the internet for the past year was for money, you feel me,” Henegan said. “In Hollywood you have to put on a show to make money, you hear? This rap sh*t is not street. It’s about money, period. We done got all the media money. So now back to reality. I don’t even know how you guys didn’t even know.”
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A packed house. A raucous crowd. Celebrity sightings. Stunning upsets. Spectacular finishes. Broken bones. Blood, sweat and tears.
UFC 261 returned a sense of normalcy to the sports world Saturday night with one of its craziest events in years. Billed as the first full-fledged sporting event since the coronavirus pandemic altered the world more than a year ago, it delivered more than even its staunchest promoter imagined.
“I don’t think it gets any better than tonight,” UFC President Dana White said. “You couldn’t have a better night. … It was amazing. The crowd was amazing. The fights were amazing. ... There’s just a different energy you get when people are here. It was insane.”
Kamaru Usman ended the event by winning his 18th straight bout and retaining his welterweight belt. Usman knocked out Jorge Masvidal with a right punch to the jaw early in the second round, silencing a pro-Masvidal crowd.
Usman’s knockout victory was his third in his last four fights, further showcasing his impressive versatility and an ability to adjust tactics during bouts. The former NCAA Division II wrestler had only one knockout victory in his first 10 UFC fights before he stopped Colby Covington, Gilbert Burns and Masvidal with punches in the past 18 months.
“Jacksonville, Florida, you said you wanted violence. You’re welcome,” Usman said.
Usman’s 18 consecutive MMA victories include 14 straight wins since joining the UFC in 2015. Only Anderson Silva’s streak of 16 straight UFC wins is longer in the promotion’s history.
This one was a rematch from their short-notice fight in July. The 33-year-old Usman beat Masvidal at Fight Island, winning a unanimous decision at UFC 251. Masvidal stepped in on six days’ notice, flying halfway around the world to fill in for No. 1 title contender Gilbert Burns after Burns tested positive for COVID-19.
Masvidal held his own and went five rounds against the champ, whose strategy including stomping on Masvidal’s feet every time they were locked up.
Some thought Masvidal would have a better chance with a full training session. Not really.
Still, Masvidal had the crowd behind him. They cheered wildly for the 36-year-old Miami native, breaking into “Ole, Ole, Ole” and “Let’s go Jorge” chants, and booed Usman whenever possible.
“He’s got my number, man,” Masvidal said.
It was the last of three title bouts, but hardly the most surprising.
Rose “Thug” Namajunas (11-4) stunned Zhang Weili (21-2) to take the strawweight belt. Namajunas sent Zhang to the canvas with a left foot to the face, and the bout was stopped at the 1:18 mark of the opening round.
Namajunas broke down in tears in the octagon as she became the first woman in UFC history to recapture a championship belt. Three previous champions failed to reclaim belts they had lost, including Ronda Rousey.
Zhang erupted in anger, clearly upset with the referee’s decision to stop the fight. Replays showed how vicious the kick was, but Zhang insisted she never lost consciousness.
Flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko (21-3) totally dominated Jessica Andrade (21-9) to retain her belt, slamming Andrade to the canvas three times in two rounds. She eventually won a TKO after a series of bludgeoning blows to Andrade’s head and ear. Shevchenko danced in the octagon after the grappling victory and exclaimed, “I can do everything.”
The sold-out event drew a star-studded crowd. There was no social distancing inside the 15,000-plus-seat arena and few masks in any direction. It was a clear sign that at least some fans are ready to return to normal after more than a year of dealing with COVID-19 changes to their routines.
“I’ve pictured this moment a million times over, so it was everything I expected it to be,” said Jeff Molina, who beat Qileng Aori in an undercard bout. “Having fans back is awesome. ... I stepped in there, I turned and looked at the crowd, raised my hand and definitely caught some good energy, good vibes from the crowd.”
Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady was sitting cage-side along with Tampa Bay teammates Mike Evans, Blaine Gabbert and Josh Wells.
Florida legend and Jacksonville native Tim Tebow was on hand with his wife. And Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew and linebacker Myles Jack were in the first few rows.
Former Bucs receiver Antonio Brown dipped into a large bucket of popcorn as he sat next to YouTube sensation and celebrity boxer Jake Paul, who got into a nose-to-nose argument with former UFC fighter and current commentator Daniel Cormier before the main card. The packed house taunted Paul several times during breaks and at least twice during fights.
The main card’s first two fights ended with significant leg injuries, the second more gruesome than the first.
Chris “The All-American” Weidman snapped his right leg kicking Uriah Hall in the opening seconds of the bout. Weidman seemingly made it worse when he tried to stand on his broken bone. He crumpled to the canvas in pain and probably shock.
Medical personnel rushed to put his leg in an air cast as Hall struggled to maintain his composure on the other side of the octagon. Weidman, who was fighting UFC legend Anderson Silva when Silva broke his shin with a kick, was eventually carried out of the cage on a stretcher. He is scheduled to have surgery Sunday.
“I’ve got nothing but respect for Weidman,” Hall said. “He’s truly one of the best. ... It’s the sucky part of the sport. It’s a hurt business.”
Minutes earlier, Anthony Smith connected with Jim Crute’s left leg and left him struggling to stand. Crute hobbled to his corner between rounds and tried to come back out for the second, but doctors stopped the fight after preliminary diagnosing it as a torn knee ligament.
“I couldn’t feel my leg,” Crute said. “I couldn’t stand on it.”
White brought his mixed martial arts behemoth back to Florida 11 months after the Sunshine State allowed him to host an event following a two-month shutdown.
Jacksonville hosted UFC 249 in May, and White vowed a return trip when the state fully reopened.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis approved a reopening plan last year that allowed large sporting events to resume in late September, although reduced capacity and limited social distancing were recommended. But until UFC’s return trip, no one had allowed full capacity indoors.
UFC hadn’t hosted fans in the United States in more than a year. There was a limited crowd for the last event at Fight Island in January.
“It’s time to get back to normal,” White said while announcing a $3.3 million gate, just a small portion of the total take after pay-per-view sales are tallied.
“If you want to wear a mask, wear a mask. If you don’t want to wear a mask, don’t wear a mask,” White said. “Everybody’s just doing their thing, and you know what, people seem like they’re a lot happier down here in Florida than they are in some of these other (freaking) states. You know what I mean?
“Everybody is doing their thing down here and living their life. And that’s the way it’s supposed to be. It felt good to be here.”
"On Da Grind.” A motivational banger from rapper Zoe. Produced by J. Redd, “On Da Grind” was recorded in Zoe’s two-bedroom apartment in 2017, on equipment he purchased at a nearby music shop for no more than $350. He was inspired to show he was on his grind, and how far he’s come from the everyday struggles he’s experienced so far in life. It’s a concept everyone can relate to.
Stunning aerial footage shows DMX fans on foot and wheel swarming the blocks around Brooklyn’s Barclays Center Saturday ahead of the star-studded afternoon memorial for the homegrown hip hop legend.
Hundreds of motorcyclists are barely able to move as they escort DMX’s coffin past the borough’s iconic Williamsburg Savings Bank Tower.
The New York hip hop icon — known for a string of hit singles, including “Ruff Ryders’ Anthem,” “What’s My Name” and “What These Bitches Want” — arrived at Barclays just after 2 p.m. in a bright red coffin, set in the flatbed of a monster truck emblazoned with the words “Long Live DMX.”
A procession of road warriors had earlier escorted his coffin to Brooklyn from Yonkers, where the Mount Vernon-born rapper grew up.
DMX, whose birth name is Earl Simmons, died April 9 at age 50, a week after a drug overdose.
A second man has been charged with murder in the fatal shooting of Dallas rapper MO3 on Interstate 35E in Oak Cliff last fall.
A Dallas County grand jury handed up the indictment of Devin Maurice Brown, 28, on Wednesday.
Another man, 22-year-old Kewon Dontrell White, was indicted on a murder charge in February.
The 28-year-old rapper, whose legal name was Melvin Noble Jr., was driving north on I-35E Nov. 11 when he stopped between Illinois Avenue and Clarendon Drive.
When a man got out of another car & approached Noble’s vehicle with a rifle, Noble tried to run but was shot multiple times. A second person was wounded.
Dallas police called the daytime shooting “brazen,” considering how many passers-by could have been in the line of fire.
White was arrested in early December; an arrest-warrant affidavit said that a witness provided police with information about his involvement in the shooting.
At the time of his arrest, federal authorities said that he also faced a gun charge & that Brown — referred to as a “known affiliate” — faced gun & drug charges. Authorities did not publicly link Brown to Noble’s slaying at that time.
Brown was already in custody by the time White was arrested, having been apprehended Nov. 19 on federal charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon & conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute a controlled substance. Authorities reported finding a stolen AK-47 at his home, along with synthetic marijuana & methamphetamine. He pleaded guilty to those charges earlier this month.
He has several pending charges in Dallas County, including manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance, money laundering & unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.
White also has been indicted on a charge of aggravated assault in connection with the November shooting.

(CNN) A man in the town of Manacor on the Spanish island of Mallorca has been arrested on suspicion of infecting 22 people with Covid-19, according to the Spanish National Police.
"Despite having symptoms and having done a PCR test, he continued his normal life without waiting for the result or quarantining," police said of the suspect in a tweet on Saturday.
Authorities added that the 40-year-old man "came to work with a 40°C fever [104°F] according to his colleagues. He was coughing loudly all over the place, lowering his facemask, while saying: 'I'm going to give you all the coronavirus.'"
The man infected eight people directly and 14 indirectly, both at his workplace and at the gym he attended, according to the police. Three of them were babies of only a year old, a police statement said.
The investigation began "at the end of January when authorities learned of the existence of a Covid-19 outbreak in a well-known establishment in Manacor," the statement said.
There have been almost 3.5 million recorded cases of Covid-19 in Spain, according to data from Johns Hopkins University, and more than 77,500 have died.
CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago police exchanged gunfire with a suspect believed to be connected to the fatal shooting of a 7-year-old girl as she sat in a car with her father in a McDonald’s drive-thru, authorities said.
Illinois State Police Trooper Kyle Barrett said the gunfire occurred on the Eisenhower Expressway, which runs west of Chicago’s Loop business district.
Police Superintendent David Brown said investigators observed the suspect get into a car & drive off. During his attempt to elude police, the suspect got on the eastbound Eisenhower Expressway near Bellwood & crashed. He then attempted to carjack a family traveling in the same direction on the expressway. That is when police confronted the suspect & an officer shot him several times, Brown said.
A later statement said the suspect, who wasn’t identified by police, was shot in the arm. His condition wasn’t immediately known. No officers were injured during the confrontation.
Representatives of the Civilian Office of Police Accountability confirmed Chicago police fired a weapon, & investigators from the office were on the scene.
Chicago police spokesman Tom Ahern said the suspect is wanted in the fatal shooting Sunday of Jaslyn Adams & the wounding of her father, Jontae Adams. Jaslyn was shot repeatedly and was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. Her father, a rapper who goes by the name Tilla, was shot in the torso & taken to the same hospital & has since been released.

Starz is developing a limited series based on the life of Cyntoia Brown Long, a sex trafficking victim who was convicted of murder as a minor and later had her sentence commuted.
Power franchise executive producer Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and La La Anthony, who has been a long-time supporter of Brown-Long's cause, will executive produce the drama, titled The Case of Cyntoia Brown. Santa Sierra (Power Book III, Vida) will write and executive produce, and Brown Long and her husband, Jamie Long, will consult.
"We're honored to be entrusted with Cyntoia's story, which shines a light on the injustice of a system that tried and sentenced an at-risk minor as an adult when she was a victim herself of sex trafficking," said Christina Davis, president of original programming at Starz. "This limited series from Curtis, La La and Santa chronicles Cyntoia's long journey to freedom and furthers our #TakeTheLead programming mandate centered on narratives by, about and for women and underrepresented audiences."
The limited series will trace Brown Long's life beginning when she was a teenager and sex-trafficked by a boyfriend. At age 16, she was convicted of first-degree murder and aggravated robbery for killing a man who paid to have sex with her. She maintained it was an act of self-defense but was sentenced to life in prison, with no possibility of parole until she was 67.
While in prison, Brown Long earned associate's and bachelor's degrees and served as a mentor to at-risk kids. She continued to advocate for her release, and her case attracted high-profile support from the likes of Anthony, LeBron James, Kim Kardashian West and Rihanna. She was granted clemency and released in 2019.
The potential series is based on Brown Long's memoir, Free Cyntoia: My Search for Redemption in the American Prison System. The series is being developed through Jackson's G Unit Film and Television, which has a rich overall deal with Starz.

SOUTHWEST RANCHES, Fla. (AP) — Courtney Wilson and Shenita Jones invited family and friends to their “dream home and estate” for their weekend wedding celebration: the ceremony Saturday, brunch on Sunday.
There was just one problem: The couple didn’t own the 16,300-square-foot (1,500-square-meter) mansion and didn’t have permission to use it.
The suburban Fort Lauderdale estate had everything: a bowling alley, swimming pool with a waterfall, hot tub, tennis courts, a gazebo and an 800-foot (240-meter) bar. Wilson said it was God’s plan that the couple marry there.
But despite what the invitation inferred, the actual owner, Nathan Finkel, never gave them permission to hold the festivities there. He was stunned when Wilson showed up Saturday morning to set up and he called police, according to the South Florida SunSentinel.
“I have people trespassing on my property,” Finkel told a 911 dispatcher. “And they keep harassing me, calling me. They say they’re having a wedding here and it’s God’s message. I don’t know what’s going on. All I want is (for) it to stop. And they’re sitting at my property right at the front gate right now.”
Two officers told Wilson he would have to leave. He did and no charges were filed.
“I don’t want to talk about it,” Wilson told the paper.
Finkel, whose late father was an early IHOP restaurant franchisee, has been trying to sell the property for two years, now listing it for just over $5 million.
Wilson, posing as a potential buyer, toured the estate several months ago, said Keith Poliakoff, attorney for Southwest Ranches, the upscale suburb where Finkel resides.
“A few months later, this guy asked Nathan if he could use Nathan’s backyard for his wedding,” Poliakoff said. “Nathan said no.”
But that didn’t stop the couple from sending out elaborate invitations, detailing their love story: reconnecting 30 years after high school and how he proposed over pizza on Christmas Eve. The Saturday afternoon ceremony would be followed by a red carpet cocktail hour and a reception lasting past midnight. Sunday brunch would be from noon to 4.
“The guy figured it was a vacant house and didn’t realize Nathan lived on the property in a different home,” Poliakoff said. “This guy had no idea he lived there. You know the shock that must have been on his face when he showed up at the gate and the owner was home?”
Broward County records show a marriage license has been issued to the couple last week, but they had not registered as married by Wednesday.
