Nashville based rap artist Luii V teams up with Project Pat for his new single titled "Old Me." Listen below via Spotify or on any music platform. Produced by Ralph Beats.
Will Smith sticking around at the Oscars, after slapping Chris Rock, is NOT what the Academy wanted -- but he dug in his heels when they tried to give him the boot.
That's the new startling claim from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which fired off a letter Wednesday, announcing their Board of Governors has begun disciplinary proceedings on Will for violating their Standards of Conduct.
In the letter they write ... "Things unfolded in a way we could not have anticipated. While we would like to clarify that Mr. Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused, we also recognize we could have handled the situation differently."
That's pretty shocking, especially since the speculation up to this point was that the Academy and the show producers allowed Will to stay until his Best Actor category was announced -- something for which they've been heavily criticized.
They go on to say this about the whole thing in terms of logistics ... "consistent with the Academy’s Standards of Conduct, as well as California law, Mr. Smith is being provided at least 15 days' notice of a vote regarding his violations and sanctions, and the opportunity to be heard beforehand by means of a written response."
The Board further explains that at their next meeting on April 18, they'll have a decision on his punishment -- which could include suspension, expulsion or other sanctions permitted their bylaws.
Sources who were present at the Oscars tell TMZ, the 2 Academy officials who told Will Smith to leave were David Rubin, the President of the Academy, and Dawn Hudson, the CEO. We're told they were "furious" at Will, and there was plenty of "yelling" and "heated conversations" backstage with Will's reps after the incident. As one source put it, the Academy officials were "apoplectic." We're also told they told him to leave shortly after the slap.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A man has been charged with murder in the death of a 9-year-old girl who was shot when fights broke out in the courtyard of an apartment complex in New Jersey’s capital city.
Isiah Roberts, 19, of Trenton, also faces two counts of aggravated assault and two weapons offenses, the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office announced Wednesday. It wasn’t known if he’s retained an attorney.
The shooting occurred around 7:30 p.m. Friday in the courtyard of the Kingsbury Square apartments in Trenton. Police responding to reports of fights and possible shots fired there found the victim, Sequoya Bacon-Jones, who had been shot once. She was taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead there a short time later.
Authorities have said they don’t think the child was the intended target, but the investigation is ongoing. It’s also not clear if the shooting was related to the fight.
No other serious injuries were reported.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson should start cleaning out her drawers at the Court of Appeals, because she's headed to higher ground -- the U.S. Supreme Court.
Republican Senator Susan Collins just revealed she'll support the nom, which all but assures her confirmation. With a 50-50 split, Collins will provide the cushion so the Veep doesn't have to cast a tiebreaker. What's more, Collins could open the door for more Republican support, although don't count on it.
Collins said, "After reviewing Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's extensive record, watching much of her hearing testimony, and meeting with her twice in person, I have concluded that she possesses the experience, qualifications, and integrity to serve as an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court. I will, therefore, vote to confirm her to this position."
Collins met with Brown Tuesday for a second time, and said after the meeting that the Judge had provided clarification on certain issues ... unclear what those issues were.
Brown would become the first female Black justice in the Court's history.

Jackson, Mississippi — For rap artist A.C.601, making music has always been a safe haven. Born in the tougher part of town in Jackson, Mississippi, he faced considerable challenges even as a young child, describing his experience growing up as “I came from the streets but I survived”. The hindrances he faced as a youth and the ups and down of life did not succeed in demotivating him, however.

And it is clear from the artist’s message that he’s devoted himself to creating music and becoming an example of someone who took an impossible situation and had the courage and strength to break out of it. He hopes that his journey can inspire people, including his young daughter, to never take life for granted, and try to cherish every second, always striving for the best.

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – A brawl in a Fort Lauderdale hotel lobby, started by a man accused of yelling racial slurs at an employee, came to an end with the employee behind bars. But now, civil rights attorney Ben Crump is questioning why the employee, who he says was defending himself, was arrested in the first place.
The scene played out at a Best Western Hotel back in January.
Fort Lauderdale police say they’re aware of the video and they’re investigating it.
Everything that happened in the video comes after Raymond Rachal canceled a hotel guest’s stay, because, he says, the man was making racial slurs at him. That same hotel guest, identified as Jason Rabe, leaves the property, but then comes back. All of it is caught on camera.
The video starts with Rachal, an employee at the Best Western Hotel, sitting behind the front desk. Rabe walks into the frame & walking with a purpose, heads directly towards Rachal. He immediately opens the security gate & that’s when you see Rachal punch him in the face.
From there, a fight breaks out, taking the two men to the ground. Another man runs over to help as Rachal punches Rabe several more times. Then, Rachal holds Rabe in a headlock until police arrive. As soon as they get there, you see Rachal stand right up. He’s then pushed several times by police officers as he references the security camera.
Finally, you see Rachal taken away in handcuffs.
He was initially accused of several charges, including resisting officers with violence, but not one time was that seen on the surveillance video.

SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. (AP) — David Frodsham was a top civilian commander at a U.S. air base in Afghanistan when he “jokingly” asked an IT technician for access to YouPorn, the video-sharing pornographic website.
During his time in the war zone, Frodsham told one woman that he hired her because he “wanted to be surrounded by pretty women,” & routinely called others “honey,” “babe,” & “cougar” before he was ordered home after the military verified multiple allegations of sexual harassment.
When Frodsham returned to his home station in fall 2015, he rejoined the Network Enterprise Technology Command, the Army’s information technology service provider, where he had served as director of personnel for a global command of 15,000 soldiers & civilians.
By spring of the following year, he was arrested in Arizona for leading a child sex abuse ring that included an Army sergeant who was posting child pornography to the internet. Among the victims was one of Frodsham’s adopted sons
Frodsham pleaded guilty to sex abuse charges in 2016 & is serving a 17-year sentence. But records reviewed by the AP show that the U.S. Army & the state of Arizona missed or ignored multiple red flags over more than a decade, which allowed Frodsham to allegedly abuse his adopted son & other children for years, all the while putting national security at risk.
The state permitted Frodsham & his wife, Barbara, to foster, adopt and retain custody of their many children despite nearly 20 complaints & attempted complaints, of abuse, neglect, maltreatment & licensing violations. Meanwhile, the Army gave Frodsham security clearances & sensitive jobs at a time when his illicit sexual practices made him vulnerable to blackmail.
Frodsham, former Sgt. Randall Bischak & a third man not associated with the Army are all serving prison terms for the roles they played in the child sex abuse ring. But the investigation is continuing because Sierra Vista police believe additional men took part.
Now, the criminal investigation is spilling over into civil court, where 2 of Frodsham’s adopted sons have filed separate lawsuits against the state for licensing David & Barbara Frodsham as foster parents in a home where they say they were physically & sexually abused throughout their lives.
A third adopted son is expected to file suit Tuesday in Arizona state court in Cochise County.

Jada Pinkett Smith's husband may have tried to avenge Chris Rock's jab about her hair, but Jada herself said she couldn't care less what people think about it ... just days before the Oscars.
The "Red Table Talk" host posted a TikTok video just 4 days before Sunday night's ceremony, & it was all about hair ... "Being a Black woman and dealing with hair in Hollywood, in the era I came up in, having your hair look as European as possible was always the thing & that was really challenging because I liked my hair out wild & curly."
Jada says ... "I feel the freedom today. I don't give two craps what people think of this bald head of mine. Because guess what? I love it."
So, now the question ... if that was Jada's mindset going into the Oscars, was Will's reaction really about hair, or was it about simmering anger toward Rock? As you know, during the 2016 Oscar ceremony, Chris took potshots at both Will & Jada ... trashing Will's movie, "Wild Wild West," & calling Jada irrelevant after she said she was boycotting the ceremony.
Sources connected to both Will & Chris tell TMZ, there was love lost between Chris & the the Smiths & when Will & Jada watched Chris they were braced for another shot.
Chris delivered the shot & Jada's eyeroll may have been more about, "You see, he did it to us again," than anger over the hair reference & when Will saw her, he just lost it.

Paying homage to all the mothers out there, Sinseer’s latest release reverberates echoes of love and regret.
Swainsboro, Ga — Jacory La’Keith Thomas is an up and coming gospel rapper and songwriter who prefers to go by the stage name ‘Sinseer’. Born in Augusta, Ga, on July 1st, 1987, he was brought up in Swainsboro, Ga. His latest single is an extremely heartfelt homage to his mother, and all the mothers around the world. Collaborating with his brother Wave on this single, the icing on the cake of his appreciation was to release the single on his mother’s birthday on February 19th, 2022.
What listeners can expect to feel from this release are waves of love, appreciation, and regret, with regret being the outlier. Upon careful introspection and taking numerous trips down memory lane, Sinseer has successfully managed to capture the loving and wholesome relationship people around the world have with their mothers.
‘Mama’, his latest release, is unique because unlike other praise songs for mothers and motherhood, it beautifully captures the element of regret. The regret we all feel for putting our mothers through hardships and unease. Sinseer understands that relationships are complicated, especially with people you love. His empathy shines through each and every lyric so that every listener feels that the song was specifically curated for them.
What makes Sinseer as an artist unique is his profound ability to use his real life situations and to incorporate them into his music in a way that comes across as him telling his audience a story. Championing his unique individuality, Sinseer exudes the confidence of an artist who knows how unique he and his story are. Sinseer believes his biggest motivation for grinding is so people can see where he used to be in life and where he is currently. He strongly espouses the ideals of never giving up and never doubting oneself because that is the kind of attitude which earns God’s men His mercy. Being mindful of his social responsibility as an artist with a platform, Sinseer aspires to give back to his community, his city, his state, and his country by building community centres for all ages. With a strong faith in The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, Sinseer aims to keep creating beautiful music with the intention of changing lives of as many people as possible financially and spiritually.

TAMPA, Fla (WTSP) — The man convicted of fracturing his girlfriend's infant daughter's skull while she was away at work back in 2018 will spend the next 25 years in prison.
After serving his prison sentence, Demarcus Johnson will then serve 5 years on probation, a judge ruled Monday.
Johnson tried to cover the crime up with lies when the 3-month-old baby's mother arrived at her home.
Johnson told his girlfriend that "nothing unusual happened" before she returned home from work that day & found her daughter unresponsive the morning of July 13, 2018.
The child survived the abuse due to life-saving emergency brain surgery after she was airlifted to Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg.
A child abuse expert testified that the infant suffered such "violent, abusive" head trauma from being forcefully shaken & suffering a strong blow to the left side of her head that she lost the ability to move, eat or even cry.
During the trial, evidence was presented showing that the abuse left the 3-month-old with multiple skull fractures & internal bleeding. A doctor even described the child's skull as broken into fragments like "puzzle pieces."
Johnson was found guilty on Jan. 28, 2022, for aggravated child abuse with great bodily harm.
State guidance recommended a minimum of 6.5 years in a Florida State Prison. The maximum sentence for the crime was 30 years.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The Black News Channel shut down a little more than two years after it went live as the first all-day news network in the country aimed at African Americans.
The network that was the creation of former U.S. Rep. J.C. Watts and largely funded by Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan closed operations Friday evening.
“Management advised us today that it will lay off substantially all the network’s employees and will suspend most network operations, with immediate effect,” the network’s board of directors said in a statement.
The network closed its Twitter account and it’s Facebook page said it is permanently closed.
The goal of the network was to reach Black audiences with stories that give a broader perspective about their community than what other networks provide. When it went live in February 2020, Khan would not say how much he was investing in the network, but said it was enough to keep it going for years.
