Kanye West & Drake's beef has trickled into real life harassment -- some fan(s) of the latter took it upon themselves to hit up Ye's childhood home with some hateful words in tow.
Photos surfaced this weekend of three different signs that appear to have been left on the front steps of the South Shore Chicago house that Kanye grew up in & which he bought in recent years & is reportedly in the process of renovating.
It also served as the centerpiece of his latest listening event there in town -- with Ye creating a replica version of the crib to help tell the story of his "Donda" album. Now, it's tainted.
Somebody left signage touching on Drake's lyrical shots that he fired last weekend ... in which he called Kanye "burnt out," among other things. One sign echoes those words exactly, while another warns that Drizzy's album, "Certified Lover Boy," is coming soon.
And, the middle sign randomly takes a swipe at Justin Laboy -- a social media influencer who's been relaying a lot of Kanye "Donda" news lately ... seemingly on his behalf.
Luckily, no real damage to the home was done ... but it still feels like crossing the line into a space that's obviously sacred to Ye. Unfortunately for him, the address is widely public & doesn't seem to have any barricades or security around to keep nosy prowlers out.
The fact someone had the gall to go to Kanye's actual house to do this perhaps speaks to the stunt he pulled on Drake this week ... posting the dude's Toronto address publicly.
If that is, in fact, the motivation, it's pretty diabolical & also suggests this feud is far from over ... as it's now fallen into the hands of what is a clearly overzealous fanbase.
LYONS, Ill. (WGN9) — Two brothers have been taken into custody after containers with remains have been found beneath a Lyons home after the brothers admitted to burying their mother and sister.
The men have not been formally charged or identified yet and are being taken into custody as the investigation continues.
A well-being check was initiated at a home Thursday in the 3900 block of South Center Avenue. When officers arrived, they were met by two brothers, in their late 40s and early 50s, living there. According to police, the residence was a “hoarder home” with items filled from the floor to the ceiling.
Police said there were feces all over, bottles filled with urine and no running water or working toilets. The water department said the home didn’t have running water for a year. Because of the amount of stuff in the house, it was impossible to enter through the front or back door. The brothers were apparently entering and exiting through a side window.
While speaking with the brothers, police learned that their mother died in 2019 and that her death “may have been an accident that involved the sister, who also died this past year.”
Lyons police said the brothers told them they buried the bodies in the backyard due to fears of COVID-19 and because they didn’t have money to pay for the funeral costs. The brothers also said they buried several animals in the yard.
Burying a body is not illegal in Illinois, but it is illegal to conceal a death or homicide. The brothers have not been charged because police still do not know if the bodies are actually buried in the yard.
The two men were placed in custody for their safety Thursday, according to police. They arrived at the house Friday morning in hospital gowns and spoke to reporters in a bizarre and sometimes incoherent interview.
Police Chief Thomas Herion said there is no record of the mother and sister’s death. Police checked with the state and Cook County and found no records.
Neighbors in the area said they had not seen the brothers for several days.
One neighbor said she didn’t even know there were two people living there — she thought it was just one. She said the brother she knew of never bothered anyone. However, she said she was not surprised to hear the bodies were buried in the backyard.
“It doesn’t surprise me, you know they don’t have any money,” a neighbor said.
Former child star Matthew Mindler has been found dead after being reported missing from his college. He was 19.
On Saturday, Aug. 28, Millersville University in Pennsylvania announced the death of the former actor, who starred in the 2011 film Our Idiot Brother and also appeared on a 2009 episode of the soap opera As the World Turns.
"Dear Campus Community, It is with a grieving heart that I let you know of the death of 19-year-old Matthew Mindler from Hellertown, Pennsylvania, a first-year student at Millersville University," University President Daniel A. Wubah wrote in a letter posted on social media. "Our thoughts of comfort and peace are with his friends and family during this difficult time."
The letter continued, "A search has been underway for Matthew since Thursday, after he was reported missing. Millersville University Police and law enforcement agencies from the area had been searching for him since that time. Matthew was found deceased this morning, Saturday, August 28, in Manor Township near campus."
Matthew was transported to the Lancaster County Forensic Center by the coroner for further investigation, the letter said.
The cause of the death of Mindler, who last acted onscreen in 2016, was not disclosed. He had been missing since the evening of Tuesday, Aug. 24, and last attended class earlier that day, the Millersville University Police Department said in a statement earlier this week.
Matthew is survived by his mother, Monica Mindler.
Washington (CNN) Two "high profile" ISIS targets were killed and another was injured in a US drone strike in Afghanistan, the Pentagon said Saturday, a retaliatory step following the terrorist attack that killed 13 US service members and at least 170 others outside Kabul's international airport.
"I can confirm, as more information has come in, that two high-profile ISIS targets were killed, and one was wounded. And we know of zero civilian casualties," Maj. Gen. Hank Taylor, deputy director of the Joint Staff For Regional Operations, said in a news conference Saturday. "Without specifying any future plans, I will say that we will continue to have the ability to defend ourselves and to leverage over-the-horizon capability to conduct counterterrorism operations as needed."
Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby said all the targets were hit in a single strike, and that they were "ISIS-K planners and facilitators."
A US defense official told CNN earlier Saturday that one of the individuals was believed to be "associated with potential future attacks at the airport." The US located him and "had sufficient eyes on and sufficient knowledge" to strike, the official said, adding that he "was a known entity" but that the US is not calling him a "senior" ISIS-K operative.
The individual was in a compound in the Jalalabad area, another defense official told CNN, and new intelligence following the terrorist attack in Kabul was firmed up to give justification for the strike. The source said surveillance continued on the compound until the target's wife and children left before the US conducted the targeted drone strike.
"I'm not going to talk about specific capabilities ISIS may have lost in this strike. They lost a planner, and they lost a facilitator. And they have one wounded. The fact two of these individuals are no longer walking on the face of the Earth, that's a good thing," Kirby said Saturday.
"It is a good thing for the people of Afghanistan, it's a good thing for our troops and our forces at that airfield."
The announcement of the strike came a day after President Joe Biden vowed to retaliate for the terrorist attack in Kabul even as he said the frantic mission to airlift Americans from Afghanistan would continue. Biden approved the strike on the ISIS-K planner, according to an official familiar with the matter.
"We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay," the President said in remarks from the White House on Thursday.
GRAND HAVEN, Mich. (AP) — A judge has ordered a western Michigan couple to pay $30,441 to their son for getting rid of his pornography collection.
U.S. District Judge Paul Maloney’s decision this week came eight months after David Werking, 43, won a lawsuit against his parents.
He said they had no right to throw out his collection of films, magazines and other items. Werking had lived at their Grand Haven home for 10 months after a divorce before moving to Muncie, Indiana.
The judge followed the value set by an expert. Werking’s parents also must pay $14,500 to their son’s attorney.
After moving to Indiana, Werking learned that his possessions were missing.
“Frankly, David, I did you a big favor getting rid of all this stuff,” his dad said in an email.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A gunman fatally shot a tourist eating dinner with his family at a Miami Beach restaurant as the man protected his 1-year-old son, police and a family member said.
Tamarius Blair Davis, 22, of Norcross, Georgia, told investigators he shot Dustin Wakefield, 21, on Tuesday night because he “was high on mushrooms, which made him feel empowered,” according to his arrest report.
Davis allegedly told police he approached the patio area of the La Cerveceria restaurant just before 6:30 p.m. and randomly decided to shoot Wakefield, who was on vacation from Castle Rock, Colorado. In a short video taken immediately after the shooting and obtained by WSVN-TV, the gunman can be seen dancing while people are heard screaming. The gunman then walks up some steps, the weapon in his hand.
Mike Wakefield, the victim’s uncle, told the Miami Herald that Dustin Wakefield died protecting his young son.
“This guy came in with a gun waving it, saying it’s time to die. He pointed the gun at his son and Dustin said, ‘He’s only a boy,’” said Mike Wakefield, who was not in South Beach but heard the account from his family. “Dustin stood up between the gunman and the baby and he shot him. He shot him multiple times on the ground.”
He said of his nephew, who worked in construction, “He was the kindest kid. He loved his family. He loved being a dad.”
Davis fled the restaurant, police said, and was captured in a nearby alley. Cellphone video obtained by the Herald shows Davis lying spread-eagle on his back and smiling as three officers approach with their guns pointed towards him yelling commands, warning him that if he touches his gun he will be shot.
Davis then rolled onto his side into a fetal position, before again rolling onto his back as officers approached. Davis screamed “I give, I give, I give” as officers flip him onto his stomach and handcuff him. The video shows a black handgun lying about 10 feet away.
Tommy Davis, the suspect’s father, told The Associated Press that his son had traveled to Miami Beach with some friends. He said his son has never been in trouble or had mental health issues. No arrest record for the younger Davis could be found.
“This is an unlikely thing,” the senior Davis said. ’We are trying to find out what happened. You can imagine we were shocked.”
He said he didn’t know whether his son would ingest mushrooms or other drugs.
“You think you know your kid, but you don’t,” he said. “It is possible someone gave him something. That is something we need to find out.”
Davis is charged with murder and was being held without bond Wednesday at the Miami-Dade County Jail. Jail records do not indicate if he has an attorney. Police incorrectly listed his last name as “David” in their original arrest report.

R Kelly is trying to sell the publishing rights to his back catalog, but no one wants to buy them.
The singer is currently facing an ongoing trial, on charges related to alleged crimes against five female accusers – three of whom were purportedly underage at the time – who allege physical, sexual & psychological abuse.
He will also face a number of other charges in separate trials, two in Chicago (one federal, one state), & one state trial in Minnesota. In 2019, it was reported that Kelly had just $625 to his name as a result of his ongoing legal battles.
He has been living in jail for the last two years & was recently ordered to pay $4million to a woman who accused him of sexually abusing her when she was 16 amid other legal losses.
Now, the singer is attempting to sell the publishing rights to his back catalogue, but is struggling to find a buyer, despite the songs earning an estimated $1.7million per year in the US.
This is despite a boom in the market, with the likes of Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, Paul Simon & the estates of Nick Drake & Prince all selling their rights for hundreds of millions of dollars in recent months.
“It has been offered to me a number of times by his team & of course, I’ve said no for the obvious reasons,” Merck Mercuriadis, founder of the Hipgnosis Songs Fund. “There are incredible songs in that catalogue, but why would you take that kind of risk?”
Hipgnosis said last month that they have spent over $1billion on rights deals in the last year alone, including lucrative agreements with artists including Lindsey Buckingham, Blondie & Neil Young.
Another anonymous asset buyer, who passed on Kelly’s catalogue in 2019, said: “We wouldn’t go near it with a 10-foot pole.”
Kelly, has denied wrongdoing & pled not guilty to the nine charges in the ongoing case in New York: one of racketeering & eight violations of the Mann Act, which criminalizes the transportation of any woman or girl across state lines for “immoral” purposes, such as illegal sexual activity.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is vowing to avenge the deaths of 13 American troops and dozens of Afghans in attacks at the Kabul airport that thrust the White House deeper into crisis over a chaotic and deadly end to a 20-year war. Retribution, however, will be harder with fewer U.S. intelligence assets in Afghanistan.
In an emotional address after the attacks, Biden declared to the extremists responsible: “We will hunt you down and make you pay.”
The president, speaking from the White House Thursday, said the U.S.-led evacuation of Americans and others from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan would proceed, and indeed more than 12,000 people were airlifted from Kabul in the last 24 hours, as of Friday morning. U.S. military officials have said they are braced for more attempted attacks by the group Biden said was responsible for Thursday’s attack — the Islamic State group’s Afghanistan affiliate.
The Pentagon on Friday said it had incorrectly reported that in addition to a suicide bomber attack at the airport’s Abbey Gate, there was an explosion at the nearby Baron Hotel. Maj. Gen. Hank Taylor of the Pentagon’s Joint Staff told reporters that it is now believed there was no attack at the hotel. He said that the U.S. military report was incorrect; he attributed the mistake to confusion in the aftermath of the violence.
The IS affiliate in Afghanistan has carried out many attacks on civilian targets in the country in recent years. It is more radical than the Taliban, who seized power less than two weeks ago and are an enemy of IS. The most heralded American attack on IS came in April 2017 when the U.S. dropped the largest conventional bomb in its arsenal on an IS cave and tunnel complex. The group more recently is believed to have concentrated in urban areas, which could complicate U.S. efforts to target them without harming civilians.
LYONS, Ill. (AP) — Authorities are planning to excavate a suburban Chicago backyard Friday after two adult brothers found living in what police called a “hoarder home” said they had buried the bodies of their mother and sister there.
Excavation equipment was expected to arrive Friday at the house in Lyons for a forensic investigation by police, the Cook County medical examiner’s office and the state’s attorney.
Lyons is 12 miles southwest of Chicago.
Police said officers were called Thursday morning to the two-story home for a wellness check after a water utility reported that water service wasn’t being used at the home. Gas & electric use was also minimal.
Officers found the residence without running water or working toilets & its back door barricaded. Police described the residence as a “hoarder home” filled with items & waste from floor to ceiling, including feces and bottles filled with urine. Multiple cats & dogs were present.
Lyons Police Chief Thomas Herion said two brothers in their late 40s and early 50s lived there. One of the brothers told officers that his sibling was upstairs & had “some health issues.”
As police treated that man, he told officers his mother & sister had also lived with them but that they had died, & that he & his brother had buried them in the backyard.
“Where are they? He indicated they were buried in the backyard, he said: ‘Oh they got sick, they died & we just buried them in the backyard,’” Herion said.
The brothers said their mother was in her 70s when she died in 2019, and that their 44-year-old sister had hit her head & died in the past year.
The brothers told police they had buried the bodies in the backyard due to fears of COVID-19 & to avoid paying the funeral costs.
The state of Illinois has no record of those deaths.
The brothers also said their father died in 2012 & he was cremated.
The men were taken to a hospital for physical & mental evaluation, but have not been placed under arrest.

Fat Joe and former Terror Squad rapper Cuban Link have a long and ugly history with each other. The two do not get along, and they’ve traded several shots with each other over the years. After criticizing Fat Joe for missing Big Pun’s street naming ceremony in April 2021, Cuban Link is back with serious allegations against the Bronx legend. On Wednesday (August 25), Cuban Link took to his Instagram with a pair of posts regarding Fat Joe — real name Joseph Antonio Cartegena — talking to police back when he was hustling in the Bronx. The first post shared was a news broadcast by veteran radio personality Star on his YouTube show The Star Report speaking on the paperwork he received that claims Fat Joe snitched.
