The Blind Rap God Outsells Sighted Rappers

As he wages war against sighted rappers.

March 9, 2019 – At a time when digital download sales seem impossible, NovaCain The Blind Rap God has defied the odds. According to iTunes, NovaCain’s single That Booty (For That Booty) has been purchased 5,721 times during the first week of its release. "I have real fans. These sighted rappers inflate their numbers to look bigger than what they really are, but then they can’t sell 1,000 units,” says NovaCain. "They have hundreds of thousands of followers, but I’m still outselling them.”

With the release of his latest single That Booty (For That Booty), NovaCain has found instant success. In less than 24 hours of its release, That Booty (For That Booty) reached number 45 on the iTunes USA Hip-Hop Chart. This has made NovaCain the first blind rapper to ever chart on iTunes. “It’s cool to see that my song charted higher than Lil’ Pump's Be Like Me. Just ask yourself, how are these other rappers letting a blind guy outwork them?"

The week prior to the release of That Booty (For That Booty), NovaCain asked his 30k Instagram followers to show if they were going to support the single by commenting with one green heart if they planned to stream the song and two green hearts if they planned to download the song. After receiving over 4k comments on the post, it appears that his fans have followed through with their comments by helping NovaCain make history. "I wouldn’t be where I’m at today without the love and support of my fans,” explains NovaCain. “Because of them, I’m able to embarrass these wack sighted rapper by outperforming them.”

In this clip, Lisa Van Allen offers more details in regards to even more archived R. Kelly sex tapes, where she recalls stealing one of the tapes that she performed in with another underage girl. She remembers her motivation stemmed from Kelly's manager threatening her life, and that the tape she stole was one of many tapes of a larger collection. From there, Van Allen says Kelly paid $250K to get the tape back from her, yet she emphasizes that he offered to pay the money, therefore the transaction wasn't a result of extortion.

(KTLA) -- A man identified by the victim's family members as the boyfriend of a woman whose slain 9-year-old daughter was found partially stuffed in a duffel bag in Hacienda Heights has been charged with murder, authorities announced Tuesday.

Emiel Hunt, 38, appeared briefly in court on Tuesday morning but did not enter a plea. His arraignment has been postponed until April 16.

Hunt was arrested on Saturday after being found sleeping in his vehicle, which was parked near the San Diego International Airport, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said.

He was booked at the Norwalk Sheriff's Station later that day, inmate records show. His bail was set at $2 million.

Hunt is accused of killing Trinity Loves Jones on or about March 1, roughly four days before her body was discovered, according to a news release from the L.A. County District Attorney's Office.

Family members of the young victim told KTLA on Monday that Hunt is the boyfriend of Trinity's mother, Taquesta Graham.

They said that Graham was also detained as a "person of interest" in the case and was being held on $2 million bail. It was unclear whether she was in custody, however, as a search of L.A. County inmate records on Tuesday morning did not show anyone matching her name.

Graham is a registered sex offender, having been convicted in 2009 of enticing a minor female for prostitution, according to the Megan's Law website. She was last released in 2016 and reported to be living in Santa Fe Springs.

Hunt, meanwhile, has a prior child abuse conviction in San Diego County from 2005, according to the criminal complaint.

He faces a possible maximum sentence of 50 years to life in prison if convicted on the murder charge.

Authorities just confirmed his arrest on Tuesday, exactly one week after Trinity's body was found by L.A. County maintenance workers at the bottom of an embankment.

One of the workers, who did not want to be identified, told KTLA in a brief but emotional interview on Monday that they were trimming trees in the area when they noticed a duffel bag.

"We seen the little girl's head, but at that point, we thought it was a little boy because you couldn't really see, like, everything," he said. "She was covered up with grass, like the bush was kind of covering her hair, and then she was wrapped up in a blanket, and she was stuffed in a duffel bag."

He described the girl's face as being peaceful, almost as if she were asleep.

Fighting back tears, the man told KTLA the first thing he thought of when they made the grim discovery was his own children. He became overcome with emotion at that point and the interview ended.

Trinity's death has been ruled a homicide by the county coroner's office, though authorities remain tight-lipped about how she died.  Investigators have indicated they found no obvious signs of trauma on her body.

In a statement Sunday, sheriff's investigators said more information would be released later this week during a news conference. They did not specify a date.

On Tuesday’s (March 12) episode of #EverydayStruggle, Nadeska, Wayno and DJ Akademiks open the show discussing J. Prince’s call-to action following the attack and robbery on YBN Almighty Jay last week. Prince warns the robbers in a lengthy IG post that they’ve “robbed a piece of him” when they stole Almighty Jay’s Rap-A-Lot Records chain. Ak and Wayno weigh in Prince’s comments and whether or not it was the right move to post the warning on social media. Later in the episode, the trio shares their thoughts on Yelawolf’s diss record “Bloody Sunday,” which takes aim at G-Eazy, Post Malone and MGK. Following this, Ak and Wayno share their thoughts on Drake reportedly dropping his Michael Jackson collab song, “Don’t Matter To Me,” from his UK tour setlist. The conversation then leads the hosts to discuss the recent comments from Juice WRLD and T.I. defending MJ following the ‘Leaving Neverland’ documentary. Towards the end of the show, the crew answers a fan question regarding the media’s role in the direction of hip-hop, and to close out Ak, Wayno and Nadeksa give their take on ScHoolboy Q’s recent cryptic tweet and salute Apple and Google Maps for renaming Blue Slide Park after the late Mac Miller.

MIAMI (AP) — Mixed martial artist and boxer Conor McGregor has been arrested in South Florida for stealing the cellphone of someone who was trying to take his photo, authorities said.

According to a Miami Beach police report, the 30-year-old McGregor was arrested Monday afternoon and charged with robbery and criminal mischief. An attorney for McGregor called the altercation “minor” and said the popular fighter would cooperate with authorities.

McGregor was leaving the Fontainebleau Miami Beach shortly after 5 a.m. Monday when a 22-year-old man attempted to take a picture of McGregor, the police report said. Police said McGregor slapped the phone out of the man’s hand and then stomped on it several times. McGregor then grabbed the phone and left the area, the report said. Police later found McGregor at his local address.

McGregor was released Monday night after posting $12,500 bond.

“Last evening Conor McGregor was involved in a minor altercation involving a cellphone that resulted in a call to law enforcement,” Samuel J. Rabin Jr., a Miami-based attorney representing McGregor, said in a statement. “Mr. McGregor appreciates the response of law enforcement and pledges his full cooperation.”

McGregor, who’s from Ireland, is the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion and one of the biggest draws in MMA. He returned to UFC last fall after a hiatus during which he made his boxing debut, a loss to Floyd Mayweather. He was suspended from UFC for six months and fined $50,000 for a brawl after his loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov in October.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Investigators have identified a Los Angeles-area girl found dead in a duffel bag along a suburban equestrian trail, and two people have been detained in connection with the case.

The coroner’s office determined the girl was 9-year-old Trinity Love Jones and ruled her death a homicide, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said late Sunday.

The department has declined to say how Trinity was killed and a department spokeswoman on Monday declined to identify the people who’ve been detained. They’re considered persons of interest.

The department plans to release additional details later in the week.

Trinity’s body was found on March 5 partly protruding from the duffel bag at the bottom of an embankment in Hacienda Heights, southeast of Los Angeles.

Investigators believe her body was there less than 48 hours.

A sketch of Trinity released to help identify her showed her wearing a pink shirt that read, “Future Princess Hero.”

A man who identified himself as Trinity’s father told KTLA-TV that his daughter was full of life and joy and that he’s in shock over her death.

“Words can’t explain what I’m feeling right now,” Antonio Jones said. “I just want answers. I just want justice.”

He declined to discuss details about the case or Trinity’s living situation.

Meanwhile a large memorial near where Trinity’s body was found continued to grow Monday, with people stopping by to add Disney balloons, teddy bears, flowers and photos of the bright-eyed girl. Signs read, “Justice for Trinity,” and “Rest in Heaven, Princess.”

A GoFundMe page created by Trinity’s uncle describes her as “a very loving and caring little girl.”

“She had a great imagination ... so much so whenever she would wear a pretty dress, she would call herself a princess,” according to the post. “She didn’t deserve to be tossed out like trash.”

Report via TMZ -- Drake is leaving behind one of his biggest songs featuring Michael Jackson as he heads across the pond to tour -- and it's all because of "Leaving Neverland." 

Sources tell TMZ Drizzy's removed the song "Don't Matter to Me" -- a "Scorpion" track featuring MJ's vocals -- from his setlist on the UK leg of his international tour. His first show went down Sunday, and the omission didn't go unnoticed. 

Drake was performing at Manchester Arena ... he started with the same opening and closing songs that he picked for his North America tour, with one big exception ... the Jackson track, which he'd performed in the USA throughout 2018.

Of course, that was all before HBO aired the explosive documentary about MJ, in which Wade Robson and James Safechuck accuse him of sexually abusing them as children in extremely graphic detail.

The Manchester show was the first of about a dozen more shows across the pond. Drake will make stops in London, Birmingham and Dublin before it's all said and done. 

No word on whether Drake actually believes the allegations against Michael -- our sources didn't speak on that one way or another. Regardless, Drake's move to mute MJ speaks volumes.
