One year after her son's murder, Chinx's mom is still searching for answers, and is wondering why his Coke Boys' boss French Montana and Diddy won't reach out to her.
"P. Diddy and French Montana need to come out and see me," she said at a memorial being held for Chinx at the site in Queens, New York where he died. "They ain't said nothing to me since my child's been dead. Even when my child was dead they wouldn't say nothing to me. I'm Lionel's mother, I need answers. They disrespected me all the way."
She added that at her son's funeral she did have a brief exchange with French.
"At the funeral (the) only thing French said to me ... I asked French why did y'all do that to my child? He said 'Because he wouldn't listen.' And I told French you're not his father, but I am his mother. That's what I said to French and there were no more words after that."
Some have speculated that the"Dope House"rapper's death and the 2007 murder of hisRiot Squadpartner,Stack Bundles, are somehow connected. Chinx's mom agrees.
"Stack Bundles and Lionel's (murders) are connected," she said. "I'm telling y'all, it's connected. What's done in the dark will always come to the light"
CAIRO (AP) — An EgyptAir flight from Paris to Cairo with 66 passengers and crew on board crashed in the Mediterranean Sea off the Greek island of Crete early Thursday morning, Egyptian and Greek officials said.
Greek defense minister Panos Kammenos said EgyptAir flight 804 made abrupt turns and suddenly lost altitude just before vanishing from radar at around 2.45 a.m. Egyptian time.
Kammenos said the aircraft was 10-15 miles inside the Egyptian FIR and at an altitude of 37,000 feet. "It turned 90 degrees left and then a 360 degree turn toward the right, dropping from 38,000 to 15,000 feet and then it was lost at about 10,000 feet," he said.
Egyptian Prime Minister Sherif Ismail said it was too early to say whether a technical problem or a terror attack caused the plane to crash. "We cannot rule anything out," he told reporters at Cairo airport.
EgyptAir said the Airbus A320 vanished 10 miles (16 kilometers) after it entered Egyptian airspace, around 280 kilometers (175 miles) off Egypt's coastline north of the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria. Their account fits closely with an account from Konstantinos Lintzerakos, director of Greece Civil Aviation Authority.
The airline said the Egyptian military had received an emergency signal from the aircraft, an apparent reference to an Emergency Locator Transmitter, or ELT, a battery powered device designed to automatically give out a signal in the event of a sudden loss of altitude or impact.
The Egyptian military denied it had received a distress call and Egypt's state-run daily Al-Ahram quoted an airport official as saying the pilot did not send one. The newspaper did not identify the official.
The absence of a distress call suggests that whatever sent the aircraft plummeting into the Mediterranean was both sudden and brief.
Exploring the possibility that a terror attack brought down the aircraft, Egyptian security officials said they were running background checks on the passengers to see if any of them had links to extremists.
In Paris, the city's prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into the incident. "No hypothesis is favored or ruled out at this stage," the prosecutor's office said in a statement.
All Egyptian officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
of the disappearance of EGYPTAIR flight MS804 and the company confirms that the reason of disappearance hasn't been yet confirmed.
The head of Greece's air traffic controllers association, Serafeim Petrou, told The Associated Press that everything was operating normally prior to the plane's disappearance from radar.
Egyptian military aircraft and navy ships were taking part in a search operation off Egypt's Mediterranean coast to locate the debris of the plane, which was carrying 56 passengers, including one child and two babies, and 10 crew members. The pilot had more than 6,000 flight hours.
Greece also joined the search and rescue operation, officials at the Hellenic National Defense General Staff said.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault offered to send military planes and boats to join the Egyptian search for wreckage.
"We are at the disposition of the Egyptian authorities with our military capacities, with our planes, our boats to help in the search for this plane," he said. He spoke after French President Francois Hollande held an emergency meeting at the Elysee Palace.
Later, the French military said a Falcon surveillance jet monitoring the Mediterranean for migrants had been diverted to help search for the EgyptAir plane. Military spokesman Col. Gilles Jaron told The Associated Press that the jet is joining the Egypt-led search effort, and the French navy may send another plane and a ship to the zone.
Hollande spoke with Egyptian president Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi on the phone and agreed to "closely cooperate to establish as soon as possible the circumstances" surrounding the incident, according to a statement issued in Paris.
In Cairo, el-Sissi convened an emergency meeting of the National Security Council, the country's highest security body. The council includes the prime minister and the defense, foreign and interior ministers, in addition to the chiefs of the intelligence agencies.
Those on board, according to EgyptAir, included 15 French passengers, 30 Egyptians, two Iraqis, one Briton, one Kuwaiti, one Saudi, one Sudanese, one Chadian, one Portuguese, one Belgian, one Algerian and one Canadian. Ayrault confirmed that 15 French citizens were on board.
Around 15 relatives of passengers on board the missing flight arrived at Cairo airport Thursday morning. Airport authorities brought doctors to the scene after several distressed family members collapsed.
In Paris, relatives of passengers on the EgyptAir flight started arriving at Charles de Gaulle Airport outside the French capital, where their loved ones were last seen alive.
A man and a woman, identified by airport staff as relatives of the flight's passengers, sat at an information desk near the EgyptAir counter at Charles de Gaulle Airport's Terminal 1. The woman was sobbing, holding her face in a handkerchief. The pair were led away by police and airport staff and did not speak to gathered journalists.
The Airbus A320 is a widely used twin-engine, single-aisle plane that operates on short and medium-haul routes. Nearly 4,000 A320s are currently in use around the world. The ubiquity of the A320 means the plane has been involved in several accidents over the years. The last deadly crash involving the plane was Germanwings Flight 9525, in which all 150 onboard died when one of the pilots intentionally crashed it in the French Alps.
Airbus said the aircraft was delivered to EgyptAir in 2003 and had logged 48,000 flight hours before it "was lost" over the Mediterranean. The European plane-maker said in a statement Thursday that it had engines made by Swiss-based engine consortium IAE, and had the serial number 2088.
An EgyptAir plane was hijacked and diverted to Cyprus in March. A man who admitted to the hijacking and is described by Cypriot authorities as "psychologically unstable" is in custody in Cyprus.
The incident renewed security concerns at Egyptian airports after a Russian passenger plane crashed in Sinai last October, killing all 224 people on board. Moscow said it was brought down by an explosive device, and a local branch of the Islamic State has claimed responsibility for planting it.
In 1999, EgyptAir Flight 990 crashed into the Atlantic near the Massachusetts island of Nantucket, killing all 217 people aboard. U.S. investigators filed a final report that concluded its co-pilot switched off the autopilot and pointed the Boeing 767 downward. Egyptian officials rejected the notion of suicide altogether, insisting some mechanical reason caused the crash.

A winning bid of $120,000 has been made to purchase the gun used to kill Trayvon Martin.
It took George Zimmerman three tries to sell the Kel-Tec PF-9 9mm. He initially listed it for auction last week on GunBroker.com. The website removed it before bidding began.
The weapon was then posted on United Gun Group, but the auction was flooded with trolls with names like "Racist McShootFace" and "Ted Cruz," who submitted fake bids topping $65 million.
TMZ reports that United Gun Group then added a private email verification to sift out the fake bids and re-listed it. A total of 7 verified bidders participated in the auction.
The sale will be finalized once the process of "vetting several offers and verifying funds" is completed said Zimmerman.

While police brutality is being well-documented and viewed worldwide thanks to social media and major news coverage, Killer Mike believes things have gotten worse despite the visibility. While a witness to violence between officers and citizens, Killer Mike believes there has been a drastic change within the last 20 or 30 years where he says drug units would catch drug dealers, take their drugs and let them go. He told DJ Vlad, "So you got your ass kicked, but you didn't get an arrest record... now they're murdering."
While on a campaign run with his right-hand man, Bernie Sanders, the rapper says he saw fear in another man's eyes due to the unsettling circumstances between cops and Black men. After inviting one man on stage, he recalled the man telling him, "When y'all leave town, who's going to protect me?" He went on to explain how the reckless reaction of officers who abused their authority within the last two decades has morphed into super-predators who view black men as "animals." The Run the Jewels rapper said, "Policemen enter their work now as though they're going on a hunt. Policemen are strapping up as though they are paramilitary and they are hunting."

Waka Flocka played a joke on a little girl that some think was funny and others find offensive.
The rapper was on Snapchat Tuesday, May 17, when he placed the girl, who looks to be no older than 4 in a dog crate.
She cries and reaches through the bars wanting to be taken out while Waka says: "Want me to bond you out? Want me to bond you? OK, I'm bonding you out ... come on baby, get out of jail."
He then lets her out, hugs her, asks if she was having a "bad hair day" and tells her it's going to be alright.
It's unclear if this is his daughter. Watch the video below and let us know what you think of it.

It looks like Master P's divorce from his estranged with Sonya Miller is going to leave a huge dent in his bank account.
TMZ reports that the business mogul has been ordered to pay his soon-to-be-ex a lump sum of $825,000, his entire salary from season 2 of the Reelz reality show, "Master P's Family Empire."
The judge in the case said that amount will cover back child support, future child support and spousal support payments.
P, real name Percy Miller, also has to pay $15,000 to Sonya's lawyers.
The amount he's being forced to fork over will most likely pale in comparison to what the No Limit business mogul will have to cough up once the divorce is settled.
Sonya wants a huge cut of P's estimated $200 million empire that she claims couldn't have been built without her help.
The couple have been married for 27 years and have 9 children.
Their split has been extremely bitter. P says Sonya is a drug addict. She's fired back with accusations that he has refused to help her out financially, and at one point threatened to have her SUV repossessed, cut off her phone and tried to kick her out of the Calabasas home where she lives with 7 of their kids.

Dave Chappelle will go down as one of the greatest comedians of all time for his stand-ups and the risks he's taken with controversial sketches on Comedy Central. Although the comedian has made some memorable catchphrases such as: "I'm Rick James bitch, "Fuck your couch," "Blouses," he's also made people conscious of social issues during his 2003—2006 run.
In our interview with Aries Spears, he talks about Chappelle's bold moves and admits that a Chappelle Show-esque show may not be recreated as easily today. Spears told DJ Vlad, he's tried to pitch the same type of show to major networks, but says the efforts was like "rolling a rock up hill."
