Future has decided to drop the countersuit he filed in April against his baby's mother, Ciara, after he was awarded joint custody of their 1-year-old son,  Future Zahir Wilburn.

TMZ reports that the 32-year rapper, real name Nayvadius Wilburn, believes spending more time with his son should be his number one priority and doesn't want to stir up more trouble with his ex-fiancee, by continuing to battle her in court.

Ciara, real name Ciara Harris, has not dropped the $15 million defamation lawsuit she filed against her ex in February.

The singer said Future was bad mouthing her in interviews and on social media, including a January tweet when he called her a bitch and said she was making it hard for him to see his child.

"This bitch got control problems," he wrote at the time. "I gotta go through lawyers to see babyfuture...the fuckery for 15k a month. I jus want babyfuture that's all. I been silent for a year & a half. I ran outta patience."

Future also criticized his baby's mother for allowing her fiance, Russell Wilson, to push his son in a stroller after they had only been dating a few months.

"Of course I wouldn't want someone to push my son. That's the number one rule. If I was a kid and my mama had a dude pushing me I would have jumped out the stroller and slapped the sh!t out of her," the rapper said at the time. "You never do that in our community. You don't even bring a man around your son. You've only known this dude for a few months and you're bringing him around your kid. Who does that?"

In Future's countersuit he defended calling Ciara a b!tch, saying he meant "overbearing, complaining or unpleasant — not a lewd or immoral woman."

As far as damaging Cici's musical career, he said that wasn't possible because he believed it had been in the tank for the last 2-3 years. 

His suit further stated that Ciara's last album flopped, she wasn't winning any awards, doesn't have a huge fan base and isn't known worldwide.

Now that he's decided to drop his suit maybe Ciara will do the same.

(Taipei Times) An American man killed himself by cutting his neck in a courtroom in Changhua County yesterday morning, after being convicted of possession of marijuana and sentenced to four years in prison.

The man — identified as 41-year-old US citizen Tyrel Martin Marhanka — was rushed to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

According to witnesses, after the Changhua District Court judge read his ruling, Marhanka turned to the translator, who told him the sentence, before Marhanka was heard saying: “Four years?”

The translator told Marhanka that he could appeal the decision, but he replied: “I don’t want to appeal.”

Becoming agitated, he yelled: “I don’t want to live anymore,” took out two metal objects, and with one in each hand stabbed himself on both sides of the neck, severing the arteries, which gushed blood, according to witnesses.

Court officials said Marhanka had smuggled in a pair of 21cm scissors, which he had separated into two sharp metal blades.

Marhanka was arrested in April last year and charged with possession of marijuana and other narcotics, after police found more than 200 cannabis plants, 195 dried cannabis plants and 10 opium poppies at a rented house in Yongjing Township (永靖), Changhua County.

At the time of his arrest, Marhanka told police officers he grew the plants as a “hobby” and that they were all intended for his own use.

Marhanka had lived in Taiwan for more than 15 years, and had a Taiwanese wife and two children — a son in second grade and a daughter in kindergarten — court officials said.

His wife was distraught when notified of the news, and went to the hospital where he had died.

The district court convened a press conference yesterday afternoon, in which presiding judge Wang Yi-min (王義閔) said the court regretted what happened, and that Marhanka’s family and the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) had been contacted through judiciary channels.

Wang said there was negligence in the incident, adding that the court would improve security measures, including installing an X-ray machine to check on people entering the court’s new building.

Wang said the bailiffs in the courtroom rushed in to help Marhanka and tried to stop the bleeding, but the incident happened too quickly and they were too late to prevent his death.

Medics who rushed Marhanka to the local hospital said the victim’s neck had 12cm and 7cm lacerations on the left and right sides respectively. He was still conscious when they arrived at the hospital, but died about 30 minutes later.

Ayesha Curry couldn't contain her frustration after watching her husband, Stephen Curry, of the Golden State Warriors foul out, then get ejected in the fourth quarter of his team's 115-101 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in game 6 of the NBA Finals Thursday, June 16.

"I've lost all respect sorry this is absolutely rigged for money... Or ratings in not sure which. I won't be silent . Just saw it live sry," Ayesha typed on her Twitter account.

Cleveland was up by a score of 99-87 with 4:22 left in the game. LeBron James had just grabbed a rebound off of a missed free throw from Golden State's Klay Thompson, when Curry was called for his sixth foul while reaching in on James.

Stephen angrily reacted by throwing his mouth piece into the stands, hitting a fan. At that point the referees sent him to the locker room.

Ayesha thought it was a bad call and hopped on Twitter before cooling down. She later deleted her initial tweet and apologized.

"Tweeted in the heat of the moment because the call was uncalled for," she later wrote. "Police racial profiled my father and told him to remove credentials and tried to arrest him. It's been a long night for me. I apologize. I'm okay that we lost... I just can't take people coming at my family for absolutely no reason. Something I don't understand or stand for."

Here's an excerpt from Kim Kardashian's GQ cover story. She goes into detail about the controversy that erupted between her husband, Kanye West, and Taylor Swift when he mentioned the singer in the song "Famous" off of his "The Life of Pablo" album.

Which brings us to the time he rapped about Taylor Swift.

I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex, West muses in the first verse of his The Life of Pablo track “Famous.” Why? I made that bitch famous.

Prior to Pablo, West and Swift appeared to have caulked up the rift in their famously fraught professional relationship. She presented him with an award at the MTV VMAs last summer. He sent her a large cube of flowers. Things remained harmonious for almost a full half year, until the release of “Famous.”

Following an Internet-borne convulsion about the song's content, West issued a series of tweets in which he stated he “called Taylor and had a hour long convo with her about the line,” that she “thought it was funny,” “gave her blessings,” and even “came up with” the lyric. A representative for Swift quickly released a statement crisply denying West's claim: “Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single ‘Famous’ on her Twitter account. She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, ‘I made that bitch famous.’ ” A day after the album's release, Swift accepted the Grammy for album of the year for 1989, and one portion of her speech—“I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments, or your fame...”—was widely interpreted as a dig at West.

Kanye and Taylor (or Kanye and Taylor's rep) may both be telling the truth here—as they see it. Maybe the duo talked “sex” but not “bitch.” Maybe he misinterpreted her noncommittal politeness as implicit accord. Maybe they both hung up pleased they were finally on the same page.

But Kim says Taylor's deep emotional wound is nonsense—okay, she says it's a lie—and that there's video proof, because a videographer was actually filming their phone call. Why? Because Kim's husband commissions videographers to film everything when he's recording an album, for posterity (and possibly, one day, a documentary). And this is where it gets sticky.

“She totally approved that,” Kim says, shaking her head in annoyance. “She totally knew that that was coming out. She wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn't. I swear, my husband gets so much shit for things [when] he really was doing proper protocol and even called to get it approved.” Kim is on a roll now, speaking faster and more animatedly than at any other point during our time together. “What rapper would call a girl that he was rapping a line about to get approval?”

Let's stipulate here that Kim Kardashian West is not the kind of person who forgets that the tape-recorder light is blinking. But just because a rant is carefully chosen for its audience doesn't mean it isn't genuine.

Swift, Kim insists, “totally gave the okay. Rick Rubin was there. So many respected people in the music business heard that [conversation] and knew. I mean, he's called me a bitch in his songs. That's just, like, what they say. I never once think, [gasping] ‘What a derogatory word! How dare he?’ Not in a million years. I don't know why she just, you know, flipped all of a sudden.… It was funny because [on the call with Kanye, Taylor] said, ‘When I get on the Grammy red carpet, all the media is going to think that I'm so against this, and I'll just laugh and say, ‘The joke's on you, guys. I was in on it the whole time.’ And I'm like, wait, but [in] your Grammy speech, you completely dissed my husband just to play the victim again.”

Were they in touch after that?

“No. Maybe an attorney's letter she sent saying, ‘Don't ever let that footage come out of me saying that. Destroy it.’ ”

She sent one?

“Yeah.”

I ask Kim how Taylor Swift's people could have known about the footage, if Swift didn't even realize she was being recorded in the first place. Kim tells me she isn't sure, but she thinks someone from Team Kanye might have called someone from Team Taylor.

“And then they sent an attorney's letter like, ‘Don't you dare do anything with that footage,’ and asking us to destroy it.” She pauses. “When you shoot something, you don't stop every two seconds and be like, ‘Oh wait, we're shooting this for my documentary.’ You just film everything, and whatever makes the edit, then you see, then you send out releases. It's like what we do for our show.”

Kim Kardashian says the media got it all wrong when they speculated her father helped O.J.Simpson get rid of the alleged murder weapon used to kill Ron Goldman and his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson.

The day after the June 12, 1994 double murders, Rob Kardashian, was seen leaving his friend O.J.'s home with what the New York Times described as a “bulging” garment bag.

Would-be sleuths speculated the Louis Vuitton bag contained damning evidence of O.J.'s guilt.

When Rob later joined O.J.'s defense team some speculated he did so in order not to be called to testify in the subsequent 1995 trial.

In a new interview with GQ, Kim Kardashian, claims she personally searched the bag and there was nothing of note in it.

“I know people said at the time that he [joined Simpson's defense team] so he couldn't be called as a witness, because he had that Louis Vuitton bag that supposedly had the [murder] weapon and stuff like that,” Kim told the publication. “But that bag was sitting at my dad's house. I remember I went through it. The news was like, ‘Where is this Louis Vuitton bag?’ And I'm like, ‘Oh, it's upstairs.’ ”

GQ: Did you really go through it?

Kim: “Just toiletries and clothes and golf clothes. Just random stuff. I'm pretty sure it's, like, still in—probably in my dad's storage.”

On October 3, 1995, O.J. was found not guilty in the deaths of Nicole and Ron. Their murders remain unsolved.

One of the soldiers tasked with guarding Mexican drug kingpin Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzman has been found dead.

The BBC reports that the body of 20-year old Jorge Mauricio Melendez Herrera was found on Friday, June 10, in Ciudad Juarez.

Herrera had been stabbed multiples times. His body also showed signs of torture. A forensic expert ruled that he died from a blow to the back of the head.

Mexican authorities have been moving El Chapo frequently to different prisons in an effort to make it more difficult for the Sinaloa Cartel leader to escape again after he was recaptured in January 2016.

El Chapo has escaped twice from maximum security prisons in Mexico. He eluded capture for 13-years after a worker wheeled him out of a facility in a laundry basket onto a truck on January 19, 2001.

On July 12, 2015, the man who made the Forbes 2013 billionaires list, slipped out of his cell into an elaborately built tunnel to freedom.

Melendez Herrera was part of a team of 300 soldiers that have guarded the outside of a Ciudad Juarez prison where El Chapo is currently held as he appeals a U.S. extradition.

The facility is just across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas.

Authorities are investigating Melendez Herrera's death.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — The body of a 2-year-old Nebraska boy who was snatched off a Walt Disney World beach by an alligator and dragged underwater was recovered Wednesday, ending a ghastly search at one of the world's most popular tourist destinations.

Divers found the body of Lane Graves about 16 hours after authorities first got the call that a reptile had taken the boy from the water's edge at Seven Seas Lagoon despite his father's frantic attempt to save the child.

Sheriff Jerry Demings said it appeared the gator pulled the child into deeper water and drowned him, leaving the body near the spot where he was last seen. An autopsy was planned.

The boy's parents were identified as Matt and Melissa Graves of Elkhorn, Nebraska, a suburban area of Omaha. A family friend released a statement on behalf of the couple thanking well-wishers for their "thoughts and hope-filled prayers."

CEO Michael Iaccarino of Infogroup, a marketing company where Matt Graves is chief data officer, said Grave's family "is the light of his life."

In a statement from Disney World Resort President George A. Kalogridis, the company said it was "doing what we can" to help the family.

Disney World closed beaches around Seven Seas Lagoon during the search, and it was not immediately clear when they would reopen.

While "no swimming" signs are posted at the beach where the boy was attacked, no signs warn about alligators. A company representative said it would "thoroughly review the situation for the future."

Demings said his agency and state wildlife officials would look into the issue of warning signs. The sheriff told The Associated Press that investigators would also review whether the boy's parents should be charged, but it's not likely.

"There nothing in this case to indicate that there was anything extraordinary" in terms of neglect by the parents, Demings said.

Wildlife officials said the attack was a rarity in a state with a gator population estimated at 1 million. But it still spooked visitors in a city built on tourism.

"We have been to Yellowstone and encountered grizzly bears, but this is just freaky," said Minnesota tourist John Aho, who was staying at the park with his wife, Kim, and their 12-year-old son, Johnny.

The child had waded no more than 1 or 2 feet into the water around nightfall Tuesday when he was taken from a small beach, authorities said.

The boy's father desperately tried to fight off the gator, suffering lacerations on a hand, but he could not save his son. Neither could a nearby lifeguard, officials said.

No other alligator attacks have been reported on the man-made lake, according to Demings.

Some visitors were surprised to learn the reptiles lived on the property.

"My question is why are there alligators in there?" said Michelle Stone, who lives near Detroit and was visiting Disney for 10 days with her two children.

The sheriff said the company has a wildlife management system and has "worked diligently to ensure their guests are not unduly exposed to wildlife here in this area."

Nick Wiley with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said witnesses estimated the alligator was 4 feet to 7 feet long. Crews removed five gators from the lake during the search, and officials said one could have been the animal that attacked the boy.

The beach where the reptile grabbed the child is part of the luxury Grand Floridian resort, across the lake from Disney's Magic Kingdom theme park. The lake stretches over about 200 acres and reaches a depth of 14 feet. It feeds into a series of canals that wind through the entire Disney property.

Though Florida has grown to the nation's third-most populous state, fatal alligator attacks remain rare. Since 1973, 23 people had been killed by wild alligators in Florida, according to data compiled by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The boy makes 24.

The grim news was only the latest for a city buffeted by tragedy in the past few days.

On Sunday, a gunman opened fire at a gay nightclub in Orlando, leaving 49 people dead in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. On Friday night, Christina Grimmie, 22, a contestant on season six of "The Voice," was fatally shot as she signed autographs after a show in Orlando.
