The Shy Glizzy chain snatching saga appears to have come to a peaceful ending. Rapper Blac Youngsta of Yo Gotti's Collective Music Group bought the jewelry back from Memphis collective, Cartel Business, for $10,000.

"We asked for $50K, but we let Youngsta bring us $10K, but you can still come get it nigga. It is what it is," YRNCasino says in video footage of the exchange.

This was all made possible because of Blac Youngsta's relationship with Glizzy.

"Youngsta say he fuck with dude. He say he fuck with him tough. That's the only reason [this happened]. Ain't no nice shit going on," said another Cartel Business member.

12351903900?profile=original

Glizzy also released a video showing that he was in possession of the chain. Don't expect to see him wearing it again though. In his latest song, "Cut It," the Washington, D.C. rapper said he's bought a better one that he dares anyone to touch.

Sometimes it's best to ignore a negative person on Instagram, instead of giving them a platform to clap at you.

Rick Ross found that out the hard way when he responded to an Instagram user who dissed him in the comment section of a photo he posted of himself and Diddy.

12351901671?profile=original

"You can have millions of dollars and you still not gonna look good in the club with shades on," HollyHeat2U wrote.

12351901894?profile=original

The comment caught Ross' attention. He responded by trying to clown Holly's looks. 

"Your nose bit long. nah nah lol," he replied.

Holly, a self-professed "proud Drake fan," provided the final lethal blow when she wrote, "true but at least I'm not fat AF. Where's Drake when I need him to kill the rest of y'all careers???"

Ronda Rousey had vowed to beat all of her opponents and retire undefeated. Those plans were derailed when she was brutally knocked out by Holly Holm while defending her Bantamweight Championship belt at UFC 193 in Australia on November 15, 2015.

The loss forced the 28-year old Judoka to reassess her future as a mixed martial arts competitor. A rematch with Holm is being planned by the UFC, but there's already talk that if the "Rowdy" one loses she will retire from fighting.

12351908655?profile=original

An emotional Holly Holm reacts to her win against Ronda Rousey

Rousey's sister, Maria Burns Ortiz, recently talked with Vice Sports to talk about the fight and the affect it had on her sibling.

"We expected Ronda to win. Just like we always do. Just like we always will. But she didn't. I haven't rewatched it. I haven't read about it. I won't," Ortiz said. "I don't see a point in reliving the moment when a part of my loved one died, when I saw someone I cared about have her soul crushed. I saw how horrible people can be to someone they don't even know, which made me even more appreciative when I saw how wonderfully Ronda's friends and family treated her. Those are the people that matter."

Most of the all-time greats in both mixed martial arts and boxing have lost bouts. There's no shame in that. Just about every one of them rebounded and continued their careers.

12351909100?profile=original

If Rousey checks out of the game following a second loss to Holm, I don't see any way she should be ranked among the best in her sport.

What's your take?

Comedian/actor Eddie Griffin recently talked with DJ Vlad about the help Bill Cosby gave him early on in his career. He also gave his opinion on the current drugging and sexual assault allegations being made against Cosby.

"First off you have to remember this was in the 70's," Griffin said. "The 70's is a different time. Motherfuckers all had coke spoons around their necklace. You go to the disco, the line is laid out on the table...toot, toot. When you want to level out after a hit of cocaine you get a Quaalude. So, did he rape these bitches? All of 'em said the same thing, 'we went to the room.' Why would you go to the room of a known married man?"

12351915478?profile=original

Griffin feels like there is something strange about the timing of the allegations.

"30 years...I don't understand that," he continued. "That's like a motherfucker robbing me and then I wait 30 years to call the police. 'I got robbed in 1984, and it's him!' There is a systematic effort to destroy every black male entertainer's image. They want us all to have an asterisk by our name."

What's your take on Eddie Griffin's comments?

50 Cent might be able to do something the New York Police Department can't. That is, get New York Knicks player Cleanthony Early's stolen jewelry back.

As we previously reported, Early was the victim of a robbery Wednesday morning, December 30, after leaving CityScapes Gentleman’s Club in Queens, New York.

12351898076?profile=original

Iliana Douge and Cleanthony Early

Early and his girlfriend, Iliana Douge, were in an Uber cab that got boxed in by three cars at around 4:20 a.m. Six ski-masked individuals exited the vehicles and told Early to run his jewels. They took his cash, as well as the gold caps on the player's teeth and jewelry. During the robbery Early was shot in the right knee.

He underwent surgery at a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries.

12351898497?profile=original

50, a Southside Jamaica, Queens, New York native, posted an article about the incident on his Instagram page, along with a caption indicating his intention to get Early's belongings back.

"They hungry out here man, you in the league, you made it, you gotta chill. He only 24 he gonna want to party, I'm a see if I can get his stuff back. TODAY!," he wrote.

Let's see how this all plays out.

This booking photograph released by the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office shows Bill Cosby, who was arrested and charged Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2015, in district court in Elkins Park, Pa., with aggravated indecent assault. Cosby is accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman at his home in January 2004.

Video After The Jump

(CNNHours after he set foot in a Pennsylvania courtroom to face sexual assault charges, Bill Cosby's attorneys called the criminal case against him "unjustified" and vowed to fight it.

"The charge by the Montgomery County District Attorney's office came as no surprise, filed 12 years after the alleged incident and coming on the heels of a hotly contested election for this county's DA during which this case was made the focal point," Cosby's attorneys said in a statement released after his arraignment Wednesday. "Make no mistake, we intend to mount a vigorous defense against this unjustified charge and we expect that Mr. Cosby will be exonerated by a court of law."

12351905690?profile=original

Cosby, whose legacy as a comedian has been tarnished by multiple accusations of sexual assault, faces three felony charges of aggravated indecent assault in the case, which is tied to a 2004 accusation in Montgomery County.

He looked down and was guided as he walked into a small courtroom. The judge set his bail at $1 million and ordered him to surrender his passport. Cosby did not enter a plea.

Following the brief arraignment, Cosby went to the police station in Cheltenham Township, where he was booked per protocol. Cosby posted bail and left the police station.

These are the first charges levied against Cosby since the allegations first arose. Cosby has steadfastly denied any wrongdoing.

After looking at all the evidence in the 2004 allegations, prosecutors decided to charge Cosby "because it was the right thing to do," Montgomery County prosecutor Kevin Steele said.

The district attorney, who was elected to his post last month, did not name the victim, but the accusations he announced parallel the allegations made by former Temple University employee Andrea Constand. She has said Cosby drugged and fondled her in January 2004.

The criminal complaint and Constand's attorney, Dolores Troiani, confirmed that the criminal charges relate to Constand's case.

She was the first person to publicly allege sexual assault by Cosby.

Video After The Jump

NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Bill Cosby was charged Wednesday with sexually assaulting a woman at his home 12 years ago — the first criminal charges brought against the comedian out of the torrent of allegations that destroyed his good-guy image as America's Dad.

The case sets the stage for perhaps the biggest Hollywood celebrity trial of the mobile-all-the-time era and could send the 78-year-old Cosby to prison in the twilight of his life and barrier-breaking career.

In bringing the case, Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman overruled her predecessor, who declined to charge Cosby in 2005 when Temple University employee Andrea Constand first told police that the comic drugged her and violated her by putting his hands down her pants at his mansion in suburban Philadelphia.

12351919282?profile=original

Andrea Constand

Cosby was charged with aggravated indecent assault and was to be arraigned in the afternoon.

The TV star acknowledged under oath a decade ago that he had sexual contact with Constand but said it was consensual.

The charges were announced just days before the 12-year statute of limitations for bringing charges was set to run out.

Prosecutors reopened the case over the summer as damaging testimony was unsealed in Constand's related civil lawsuit against Cosby and as dozens of other women came forward with similar accusations that made a mockery of his image as the wise and understanding Dr. Cliff Huxtable from TV's "The Cosby Show."

Many of those alleged assaults date back decades, and the statute of limitations for bringing charges has expired in nearly every case.

Constand, who is now 42 and works as a massage therapist in her native Canada, is ready to face Cosby in court, her attorney, Dolores Troiani, said this fall.

"She's a very strong lady," Troiani said. "She'll do whatever they request of her."

The charges add to the towering list of legal problems facing the actor, including defamation and sex-abuse lawsuits filed in Boston, Los Angeles and Pennsylvania.

Cosby in 1965 became the first black actor to land a leading role in a network drama, "I Spy," and he went on to earn three straight Emmys. Over the next three decades, the Philadelphia-born comic created TV's animated "Fat Albert" and the top-rated "Cosby Show," the 1980s sitcom celebrated as groundbreaking television for its depiction of a warm and loving family headed by two black professionals — one a lawyer, the other a doctor.

12351920065?profile=original

He was a fatherly figure off camera as well, serving as a public moralist and public scold, urging young people to pull up their saggy pants and start acting responsibly.

Constand, who worked for the women's basketball team at Temple, where Cosby was a trustee and proud alumnus, said she was assaulted after going to his home in January 2004 for some career advice.

Then-District Attorney Bruce Castor declined to charge Cosby, saying at the time that both the TV star and his accuser could be portrayed in "a less than flattering light." This year, Castor said the allegations in Constand's lawsuit were more serious than the account she gave police, and if that information had been known at the time, "we might have been able to make a case."

Castor tried to make a comeback as district attorney in the November election but lost to Ferman's top deputy.

After the criminal case went nowhere, Constand settled her lawsuit against Cosby in 2006 on confidential terms.

Her allegations and similar ones from other women in the years that followed did not receive wide attention but exploded into view in late 2014, first online, then in the wider media, after comedian Hannibal Buress mocked Cosby as a hypocrite and called him a rapist during a standup routine. That opened the floodgates on even more allegations.

Women mostly from the world of modeling, acting or other entertainment fields came forward and described being offered a drink by Cosby and waking up to find they had apparently been sexually assaulted. Cosby, through his representatives, accused some of the women of trying to extract money from him or get ahead in show business.

Earlier this year, The Associated Press persuaded a judge to unseal documents from the Constand lawsuit, and they showed the long-married Cosby acknowledging a string of affairs and sexual encounters.

Cosby testified that he obtained quaaludes in the 1970s to give to women he wanted to have sex with. He denied giving women drugs without their knowledge and said he had used the now-banned sedative "the same as a person would say, 'Have a drink.'"

Bill Cosby

In the deposition, Cosby said he put his hands down Constand's pants that night and fondled her, taking her silence as a green light. Constand maintains she was semi-conscious after he gave her pills he said would relax her.

"I don't hear her say anything. And I don't feel her say anything. And so I continue and I go into the area that is somewhere between permission and rejection. I am not stopped," Cosby testified.

He said Constand was not upset when she left that night. She went to police a year later.

Her lawyer has said Constand is gay and was dating a woman around the time she met Cosby in the early 2000s.

The AP generally does not identify people who say they have been sexually assaulted unless they agree to have their names published, as Constand has done.

Laurie Levenson, a criminal law professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, said Cosby no longer enjoys the celebrity appeal that might sway a jury.

"His reputation has already been tarnished, so I doubt that jurors would be inclined to believe him just because of his prior image," she said in September. She said the judge in the case will have to decide whether to allow other accusers to testify or whether that would be too prejudicial.

According to the New York Post, Early had just left the club with a woman at around 4:20 a.m. and got into an Uber cab.

Meek Mill will miss out on performing with his girlfriend, Nicki Minaj, in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve. Instead he'll be stuck in his hometown of Philadelphia doing community service as ordered by Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley, who ruled that the rapper had violated his probation, which stems from his 2009 drug and gun conviction, during a hearing on December 17.

In fact, community service is the only thing he is allowed to do since Brinkley told him that he can't work or perform until his February 5, 2016 court date. At that time she'll determine whether or not he will be sent back to jail.

12351902274?profile=original

If Meek, 28, real name Robert Williams, avoids jail time he still has a giant albatross hanging around his neck in the form of his probation officer, Treas Underwood.

Meek has complained about Underwood for years. The two have a long history that pre-dates him becoming famous because they grew up in the same North Philadelphia neighborhood.

In early 2014, he tweeted that Underwood, who is African American, was jealous of his success and that Assistant District Attorney Noel DeSantis was a racist.

“Every time I go 2 probation it’s a new thing,” Meek wrote at the time. “The D.A. on my case a racist. I caught that case when I was 18 [and] she’s still bothering me….I go 2 court July 11th. I want every piece of press 2 see the way they try 2 handle my case because I’m famous. I been on probation almost 6 years without going back 2 jail,” he tweeted. “I’ve been going 2 see probation every 30 days for almost 6 years. They want me 2 live in Philly so I can get killed or catch a dumb case and go 2 jail. They won’t be happy til it happen.”

DeSantis brought up the tweets when Meek appeared in court. "He's asking me to send him to jail and that's what I'm going to ask for," she told Brinkley, according to Philly.com.

On July 14, 2014, Brinkley, sentenced him to three to six months in prison for violating his probation. He was released on December 2, 2014.

 

As far as Meek's ongoing problems with Underwood are concerned, the New York Post's Page Six reported earlier this week that the tension between the two may be linked to a conflict Meek had years ago with one of her relatives.

“She’s from his neighborhood and he had an altercation with her cousin Coo when they were younger,” said a source.

Others wonder if Underwood is simply "obsessed" with having a famous client.

“She keeps showing up to his community service, which is not common,” a source told Page Six. “She has 122 other cases, but she has it out for him. Probation is supposed to be a rehabilitative thing, but she will do anything to keep him on probation.”

Meek wants her off of the case. Whether that actually happens is anybody's guess.

2 Chainz's line of Dabbin' Santa Ugly Christmas Sweaters were a big hit this year. The rapper told Forbes he made close to $2 million selling the merchandise.

"Me and my team were trying to come up with some successful designs to get our merch moving. We took the dab, which is a trend, and we just turned it into a business," he said. "We played around with a few designs. We realized what my fanbase wants to see. I don’t want people to think this was an overnight success. We’ve been trying with a bunch of designs for a couple years now. This is just timing meets opportunity. There’s the whole dab thing, and Atlanta’s always been somewhere that actually moves the culture a little bit. We have been the backbone of hip-hop for the past couple years. So with dabbing coming out of Atlanta, it just began to grow legs and start moving on its own."

The "I'm Different" hit maker used some of the funds he made to give back to the community via his T.R.U. Foundation.

7-year-old Antonio Jones

A woman by the name of Julie Williams English started a GoFundMe page to help out a family in Atlanta who suffered burns and severe smoke inhalation and lost most of their belongings when a fire swept through their home back in September.

12351899094?profile=original

According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, 8-year-old Damien Walker, 7-year-old Antonio Jones, 12-year old Damiana Jones and their mother Tamifonika Jones were all hospitalized. 9-year old Makiyah escaped serious injury. Their father, Damien Walker, was at work at the time of the fire.

Antonio now suffers from brain damage and impaired vision.

2 Chainz heard about the family's predicament and bought them a mini-van.

Antonio checks out the ride 2 Chainz bought for his family.


"Great News! Last week I was contacted by the manager of the rap artist 2 Chainz. 2 Chainz offered to buy the family a mini-van! We surprised the family with a 2008 Honda Odyssey," English wrote on the GoFundMe page. "They were so excited!!! This is exactly what I had prayed for and God saw it through! With the donations I received from those who donated to the fund we were able to pay for insurance on the car so thank you so much! We are still accepting donations because there are many things the family will need in the next year. With your financial help it makes things a little bit easier. Join me in celebrating this great news! I thank you for your financial support and prayers for this family."

12351900074?profile=original

Deirdre Plater and her son were overwhelmed by 2 Chainz's generosity

2 Chainz also helped out a disabled veteran, Deirdre Plater, of Palmetto, Georgia, who is a single mom struggling to find a job and take care of her son at the same time. They were living in an apartment that had no furniture when the rapper came through with a check to pay their rent for a year and furnished their place.

"I'm just really overwhelmed and overjoyed that someone would do something this nice for me," Plater said. "It's been a struggle being a single parent. Especially of a little boy and he's a teenager now. It's the peril of working at home or commuting, just to make sure he's OK. And not really having anybody to help you. I'm just ecstatic right now."

12351900298?profile=original

"My dad was a veteran. He passed a couple of years ago. He was in the Army. He jumped out of airplanes for a living. So it’s just charity, period, for me," he told Forbes "This was a case that needed a little help from the outside. It was a veteran household. I came from that, so I understand it. They had no furniture, they were living month-to-month. I just wanted to relieve some of that stress. I just felt like, if I gave them a year’s cushion, which no one ever offered me, it would be a good opportunity."

Be on the lookout for a clothing line from the rapper in 2016. We're looking foward to hearing more stories of him giving back to those in need. Truuuuuuuuu...
