In this clip, Vlad welcomes Boosie back for another exclusive interview, while pointing out that the Louisiana legend is one of his favorite guests who always breaks records in terms of audience reaction and views. From there, Boosie speaks on a number of topics, including his plans of traveling to China to be the "daddy and the mommy" of a Chinese baby with a Boosie fade. Later on, the conversation shifts towards music where he speaks on his longevity in the game, noting how the "rap game is like the drug game" in the way that your success is dictated by your hustle. That leads Vlad to ask Boosie about DaBaby paying him $15K for a verse, an investment that has paid dividends for the Charlotte emcee who recently signed a major deal with Interscope.

In this clip, Nick Cannon explains why the black community in particular is hurt over the tarnished legacies of Bill Cosby, R. Kelly, and Michael Jackson, keeping in mind their signature to the culture and how they were thought of as family. That leads to a discussion on the potential motivations behind the accusers seen on Leaving Neverland, with Cannon revealing that he was mad at Oprah when she gave them her platform at an ever further cost of Jackson's legacy. Elsewhere, Cannon clarifies a recent point he made about the reaction to Harvey Weinstein, conceding that even though there's a Sundance documentary that few people have seen, he's still waiting to see his mugshot like everyone else.

Los Angeles police have identified a suspect in the killing of rapper Nipsey Hussle.

Police say they are looking for 29-year-old Eric Holder, who is suspected of shooting Hussle Sunday afternoon outside his clothing store in South Los Angeles.

A news release states detectives suspect that Holder fled in a 2016 Chevy Cruze that was waiting in an adjacent alley. The car’s license plate is 7RJD742.

Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore plans a news conference for Tuesday morning to discuss updates in the investigation.

Report via NBC News - LOS ANGELES — Nineteen people were injured Monday night, four of them critically, when chaos erupted in the Los Angeles neighborhood where hundreds had gathered to honor the slain rapper Nipsey Hussle, law enforcement officials said.

Fire officials initially said they were responding to reports that a shot or shots had been fired near the intersection of West Slauson Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard in South Los Angeles. But police said reports that shots had been fired didn't appear to be accurate.

Law enforcement officials told NBC News that at least one person had been stabbed. The nature of the other injuries wasn't immediately clear, but numerous people fell or were knocked to the ground as panicked crowds fled the scene.

Los Angeles Police Chief Michael Moore said in an interview on KNX radio that a disturbance, possibly a fight, broke out about 8:30 p.m., which set off "a cascading series of events that caused a lot of turmoil."

"Uncertainty can cause people to swarm and move in these heavy flows," Moore said, adding that in the confusion, "some individuals in the group were attacking or striking someone else."

Police issued a citywide tactical alert as scores of helmeted officers raced to the intersection.

Hussle, whose debut studio album, "Victory Lap," was nominated for Best Rap Album at this year's Grammy Awards, was shot and killed Sunday in the parking lot outside his Marathon Clothing store. A suspect remained at large Monday night.

In this clip, John Salley speaks on how he feels bad for R. Kelly and what he's going through, while noting some glaring hypocrisies in America with respect to what gets celebrated and what gets cancelled. He states that one example of this selective outrage is the muting of artists like Kelly and Michael Jackson, as people continuously stand and salute the national anthem. Salley references the historical crimes against humanity associated with the very foundation of the United States of America, thus if we can still listen to its song then other controversial history shouldn't be silenced either.

Nick Cannon spoke to VladTV about thinking that Michael Jackson was Superman and always turning down requests to meet with him because he didn't want to be disappointed in someone of who he was a big fan. Nick went on to state that he also thought it was strange that parents would leave their children with Michael for long periods and allow them to sleep in the bed with him.

Video After The Jump

(The Washington Post) Grammy-nominated rapper Nipsey Hussle had an important meeting scheduled Monday afternoon. But it wasn’t with a fellow musician, nor did it have anything to do with his burgeoning hip-hop career. Hussle was going to sit down with the president of the Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners and the city’s chief of police to tackle an issue that, along with his music, had come to define his life: gang violence.

According to Steve Soboroff, president of the city’s police commission, Hussle had wanted “to talk about ways he could help stop gang violence and help us help kids.” The 33-year-old Los Angeles native has been transparent about his history as a member of the Rollin 60s, which he once described as “one of the biggest Crip gangs of our generation.”

But Hussle won’t be there.

On Sunday, Hussle was killed in a shooting outside a South Los Angeles clothing store he owned, according to several city officials, including Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. Two others were injured in the shooting, police said.

“Our hearts are with the loved ones of Nipsey Hussle and everyone touched by this awful tragedy,” Garcetti tweeted. “L.A. is hurt deeply each time a young life is lost to senseless gun violence.”

At about 3:25 p.m. local time, Los Angeles Police Department officers responded to a shooting call at the Marathon Clothing store, which Hussle opened in 2017, Lt. Chris Ramirez told reporters at a news conference. Arriving at the scene, police found three people “suffering from gunshot wounds,” Ramirez said.

Two of the people were taken to a hospital, where one later died of his injuries, Ramirez said. Ramirez declined to identify the person who died and told The Washington Post that police were waiting on the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office for confirmation. The coroner’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

The other person taken to the hospital was in “stable condition” and was “expected to pull through,” Ramirez said.

Shortly before the shooting, Hussle had tweeted about “enemies.”

Ramirez told reporters that authorities have launched a homicide investigation and are searching for a suspect. Additional details of what happened are still “sketchy,” Ramirez said.

“It’s going to be lengthy,” he said about the investigation.

Local activists plan to gather in a bank parking lot near the crime scene on Monday morning to call for an end to violence and for the shooter to surrender to authorities, Project Islamic Hope CEO Najee Ali told The Post.

Ali said they would also launch a petition to have the intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard and Slauson Avenue renamed in Hussle’s honor.

“Young black people in South Los Angeles don’t have many heroes, but they did have one that walked among them every day, and that was Nipsey,” he said.

Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore tweeted that Saturday’s shooting was “the latest loss in a troubling surge in violence.”

The rate of violent crime in the city went down in 2018, the Los Angeles Times reported last year, and homicides declined 9 percent from the previous year. Moore told the Times that gang-related homicides were down 20 percent, and said the city “turned a little bit of a corner.”

On Sunday, in the wake of Hussle’s death, Moore promised to “work aggressively” to reduce the loss of life.

Growing up in Crenshaw, a South Los Angeles neighborhood known for its rampant gang activity, Hussle — born Ermias Asghedom on Aug. 15, 1985 — was no stranger to street violence, he told VladTV in 2014.

He recalled “being young, riding your bike through the hood getting shot at.” He saw “loved ones and homies” his age “getting killed, getting shot at.” Getting jumped at the mall or high school sporting events was just a part of life, he said.

“I grew up in gang culture,” Hussle told the Los Angeles Times last year. “We dealt with death, with murder. It was like living in a war zone, where people die on these blocks and everybody is a little bit immune to it. I guess they call it post-traumatic stress, when you have people that have been at war for such a long time. I think L.A. suffers from that because it’s not normal yet we embrace it like it is after a while.”

After he left home at age 14, it didn’t take Hussle long to get caught up in the drama of the streets. By 15 or 16, he had dropped out of high school after being accused of stealing computers, which he insisted to Complex in 2010 that he didn’t do.

“I was taking care of myself early on,” he told VladTV. “I was doing things to try to get money, so I could support myself.”

He later added, explaining his decision to join the Rollin 60s: “After a while it’d just be like you always in the middle of some s--- you might as well be part of it.”

Still, Hussle said he always kept his focus on his “first passion”: music.

“I was freestyling to a Snoop [Dogg] CD when I was nine years old,” Hussle wrote in an October 2018 piece for the Players’ Tribune. But it would take more than 20 years for him to release his first studio album, “Victory Lap,” which debuted last year and earned him a nomination for best rap album at the 2019 Grammy Awards. The album also features guest appearances from big-name rappers such as Kendrick Lamar, Diddy and YG, among others.

“Like a lot of Crenshaw kids, I was never supposed to have success,” Hussle wrote. “I ain’t have no line to [Dr.] Dre. No rich uncles. No musicians in my family. I only had the culture.”

Armed with this culture, largely influenced by West Coast rap legends including Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Tupac Shakur, Hussle made a name for himself in the music industry by dropping numerous mix tapes. He later garnered even more attention for how he marketed some of his music — releasing the tracks as free digital downloads, while jacking up the price on limited-edition physical copies.

The technique, heralded as “revolutionary” by the Times, even caught the attention of rapper and producer Jay-Z. According to the Times, the music mogul bought 100 copies of Hussle’s 2013 release “Crenshaw,” which were priced at $100 each.

But even as his music career started to take off, Hussle never forgot where he came from. He became widely celebrated for his active involvement in community projects aimed at improving life for residents, especially young people, in South Los Angeles. The rapper’s efforts included rebuilding an elementary school’s basketball court and furthering science, technology, engineering and math education.

“I just want to give back in an effective way,” he told the Times in 2018. “I remember being young and really having the best intentions and not being met on my efforts. You’re, like, ‘I’m going to really lock into my goals and my passion and my talents’ but you see no industry support. You see no structures or infrastructure built and you get a little frustrated.”

Last year, he opened a co-working space and STEM center called Vector90 in South Central Los Angeles, the Times reported. The goal of the center is to be a “bridge in between Silicon Valley and the inner city,” Hussle said in a video posted to Instagram in January 2018. He added that he hoped to take the concept beyond Los Angeles to cities across the country, including Baltimore, Washington and Atlanta.

“Growing up as a kid, I was looking for somebody — not to give me anything — but somebody that cared,” he told the Times. “Someone that was creating the potential for change and that had an agenda outside of their own self interests.”

The rapper also took part in the city’s “Destination Crenshaw” project, “a 1.3-mile-long outdoor art and culture experience celebrating Black Los Angeles,” according to its website.

“I understand my obligation — I got an obligation to my community first, my family first, to hoods like L.A. all around the country who live for the culture,” he wrote in the Players’ Tribune. “I have a duty to justify the seat that I’m sitting in. Nobody has any success on his own.”

During the LAPD’s news conference with reporters Sunday, a large group of people gathered behind yellow police tape outside the crime scene. By nightfall, that crowd was “in the hundreds,” Ramirez told The Post. Fans played Hussle’s music from speakers and lit candles in remembrance, the Times reported.

On Facebook, city council member Marqueece Harris-Dawson called Hussle “a poignantly brilliant musician, and a tireless advocate for South LA,” sharing a photo of the rapper attending a march against gun violence five years ago at a local high school.

“You will truly be missed, and your legacy will live on!” Harris-Dawson wrote in another post.

The rapper was in a relationship with actress and model Lauren London, and the pair had a young son. Hussle also had a daughter.

London has yet to publicly address the shooting, but the Los Angeles Crisis Response Team tweeted Sunday that it was “now consoling and offering support to the family.”

Following reports of Hussle’s death, fans and scores of celebrities, including DrakeLeBron JamesRihanna and John Legend, shared tributes to the rapper.

“My whole energy is just at a low right now hearing this,” Drake wrote in a lengthy Instagram post. Drake noted that he and Hussle had plans to collaborate on a new song. “You were having the best run and I was so happy watching from distance fam nobody ever talks down on your name you were a real one to your people and to the rest of us. I’m only doing this here cause I want the world to know I saw you as a man of respect and a don. Rest easy my g.”

Legend tweeted that he was “utterly stunned” by the news, writing that he had just filmed video for a collaboration with Hussle on Thursday.

“He was so gifted, so proud of his home, so invested in his community,” the singer wrote.

“He was a solid man who loved his woman, his family and his community,” Rae wrote. “This hurts.”

(Fox News) -- Actor Omari Hardwick felt the wrath of Beyoncé’s fans Sunday after footage of him kissing the superstar singer twice on her cheek was called out as inappropriate.

A video posted online shows the “Power” actor greeting Beyoncé at the 50th NAACP Image Awards this past weekend.

When Hardwick embraces the singer, who took home the Entertainer of the Year award, he kisses her on the right cheek and gives her a hug. He then kisses her on the cheek a second time.

Beyoncé’s husband Jay-Z was just feet away.

The encounter quickly drew the ire of fans who argued that it demonstrated the ways in which women find themselves in uncomfortable situations with men.

"2nd kiss was unnecessary & uncomfortable. Don't do that again," tweeted user @farhana_io. "We women so often get touched, kissed, groped & poked in instances exactly like this (at an event, at work, etc). WE DON'T LIKE IT. It's time to no longer let these moments of discomfort slide."

Other fans flooded Hardwick’s Instagram page with bee emoji’s, signifying Beyonce’s superlative title “Queen Bey,” according to E! News.

This is why the #metoo movement is important,” one Instagram user wrote. “No matter how famous and powerful a woman is, there will always be some … inappropriate man who feels like he has the right to take your manner and generosity as an invitation to make you uncomfortable. You disrespected your wife, your children, Beyoncé and Jay Z and need to apologize.”

A representative for Hardwick could not be reached for comment, E! reported. Beyoncé and Jay-Z have not publicly commented on the encounter.

Report via NBC News - LOS ANGELES — The Grammy-nominated rapper Nipsey Hussle was killed in a shooting outside his clothing store in Los Angeles, multiple law enforcement sources said. Two other men were in serious condition, and a suspect remained at large.

No further information was immediately available about the shooting at Marathon Clothing on Slauson Avenue in South Los Angeles. But just a couple of hours before the shooting, Hussle, 33, whose real name was Ermias Ashgedom, had tweeted, "Having strong enemies is a blessing."

Hussle's debut studio album, "Victory Lap" was nominated for Best Rap Album at this year's Grammy Awards.

Hussle had long been associated with the Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips, one of Los Angeles' largest street gangs, which he publicly acknowledged in a 2010 interview with Complex magazine.
