Baller Alert Its A Lifestyle

The majority of NFTs might have lost their value just under two years after a surge in the popularity of digital collectibles.

According to a study utilizing data from NFT Scan and CoinMarketCap, among the 73,257 NFT collections analyzed, a staggering 95% of them had a market capitalization of zero ether. Their calculations indicate that nearly 23 million individuals are in possession of these valueless assets.

“This statistic effectively means that 95 percent of people holding NFT collections are currently holding onto worthless investments,” a report said. “Having looked into those figures, we would estimate that 95 percent to include over 23 million people whose investments are now worthless.”

On Tuesday, US District Judge Kevin Castel ruled that Netflix must face a defamation lawsuit filed by former Manhattan prosecutor Linda Fairstein, who claims that the streaming service, along with director Ava DuVernay and writer-producer Attica Locke, acted with malice in their portrayal of her in the 2019 crime drama series “When They See Us.”

Joe Jonas has responded to his estranged wife Sophie Turner‘s lawsuit and denies kidnapping their two daughters.

Through a statement issued by his representative, Jonas described the lawsuit as a “harsh legal position” that contradicts the “amicable co-parenting setup”  he thought they had been progressing towards.

“Less than 24 hours later, Sophie advised that she wanted to take the children permanently to the UK. Thereafter, she demanded via this filing that Joe hand over the children’s passports so that she could take them out of the country immediately,” the rep said.

Additionally, Jonas’ spokesperson mentioned that the children have been staying with the “Game of Thrones” star in New York ever since the aforementioned meeting.

“Joe is seeking shared parenting with the kids so that they are raised by both their mother and father, and is of course also okay with the kids being raised both in the US and the UK,”  the rep mentioned, adding that the children have been American citizens since birth.

He also countered Turner’s assertion that she discovered their divorce through the media, stating that she had been informed about his intention to file for divorce after numerous discussions. The legal filing in Miami imposes limitations on both Jonas and Turner, preventing them from relocating with their children.

“This is an unfortunate legal disagreement about a marriage that is sadly ending,” his rep continues. “When language like ‘abduction’ is used, it is misleading at best, and a serious abuse of the legal system at worst. The children were not abducted.”

The couple began their relationship in 2016 and then tied the knot in Las Vegas three years later. In July 2020, they welcomed their first daughter, and two years later, they had a second child. Jonas officially filed for divorce from Turner on September 5th, ending their four-year marriage.

Cardi B has rallied behind Offset in response to Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, being sentenced to house arrest.

On Thursday, the fiery Bronx sensation took to Twitter to stand up for her husband, believing that the online discussions surrounding the situation were portraying Offset as the antagonizer. A day prior, court reporter Meghan Cuniff highlighted that the house arrest order imposed on Petty did not reference Offset or Cardi. She emphasized that the probation officer and judge took action on his threats without requiring an external report or complaint.

Blogger Ken Barbie then retweeted Cuniff’s post and stated that Petty had landed himself in legal trouble due to his own threats. Shortly afterwards, Cardi replied to the tweet saying, “EXACTLY KEEP ME AND MY MANS OUT YALL FUCKIN MOUTH.”

Additionally, Nicki appeared to indirectly comment on her husband’s house arrest by posting a mysterious tweet. Some fans interpreted this tweet as a subtle reference to her longstanding feud with Cardi.

Petty was placed under 120 days of house arrest as a result of his comments directed at Offset. In July 2022, Petty received three-years probation and one-year house arrest for failing to register as a sex offender. This occurred shortly after he and Nicki had to relocate to California in 2019, just before their marriage.

Chilli of TLC is about to become the craziest, sexiest, coolest grandmother for the first time.

Tron ended the post by wishing his wife a happy fifth anniversary. Jeong Ah also reposted the touching IG update to her followers. Tron’s famous mother, Chilli, has not yet spoken out about her upcoming granddaughter. Neither has his music producer father, Dallas Austin. Nevertheless, it’s likely they are both happy. Austin has three children, while Chilli is a mom of one. However, it looks like this is the first grandbaby for both. 

The son of music royalty, Tron has followed in his parent’s footsteps. He performs as a rocker, frequently sharing images of him playing solo and with a band. Tron often plays the drums during his mother and T-Boz’s TLC concerts. 

Congrats to the growing family. 

Tinashe is open to reconciling with Chris Brown following her statement about their previous collaboration.

Tinashe gained significant attention recently when a video clip of her discussing her collaborations with R. Kelly and Chris Brown went viral. In a September 12 interview with Zach Sang, she revealed that her former record label, RCA Records, had compelled her to collaborate with these artists. Despite their greater popularity at the time, she admitted feeling “embarrassed” of her collaboration with R. Kelly and not being too enthusiastic about working with Chris Brown either.

When Chris Brown became aware of the video, he responded by firing back. The singer commented, “Name five Tinashe songs or die… Everybody dead.”

Nevertheless, the Lexington native caught up with TMZ and gave her perspective on the situation, expressing that she believed things had escalated beyond what she had anticipated.

“I think he didn’t actually watch the full video, but it is what it is. It’s fine, it’s all good. [We’re] focused on the future. I would talk to him if he wants to reach out. It’s all love,” she said.

Both Brown and Kelly have faced legal troubles stemming from their treatment of women. Brown has been accused of assault on multiple occasions, while Kelly is presently incarcerated for a range of offenses, including child pornography.

Meanwhile, Tinashe launched her most recent project, titled “BB/ANG3L,” on September 8th. This seven-song LP featured standout tracks such as “Treason,” “Talk To Me Nice,” and “Needs.”

A North Carolina family is going after Google after a traveling father drove off a bridge while following directions on Google Maps.

Phil Paxson passed away on September 30th, 2022, when he drove off a bridge in Hickory that had been collapsed for nine years. There were no barriers or warnings signaling drivers that there was a downed roadway ahead. Unfortunately, Google Maps had not updated, so Paxson wasn’t unaware he was driving directly into danger when he was instructed to cross the area on his route. Sadly, he was found drowned in a river below the remains of the bridge. Paxson was headed home from his nine-year-old daughter’s birthday.

“It was a dark and rainy night, and he was following his GPS, which led him down a concrete road to a bridge that dropped off into a river,” a loved one wrote in a Facebook post. Aside from Google, the family is also suing the agencies responsible for landscaping and repairs in the region.

Multiple residents who live near the wrecked bridge have used the “suggest an edit” function on Google to have the maps corrected. Unfortunately, Google never followed up. Those who live close to the crash site have also asked local officials to fix the area for years or at least have it secured. Their pleas were also ignored, despite drivers before Paxson mistakenly trying to cross the bridge.

Google did not comment on prior complaints about updating their maps of the area. However, they did tell CNN they are “reviewing this lawsuit.”

The family is seeking an unspecified amount in damages.

Remy Ma is facing infidelity allegations in her long-term marriage to Papoose, with claims suggesting a romantic involvement with battle rapper Eazy The Block Captain. However, she remains unfazed by the rumors.

Allegedly, the Bronx rapper has been involved with Eazy for several months, and blogger Tasha K even presented a photograph of them dining together as one of the pieces of supporting evidence. The rumors resurfaced after a recent battle between Eazy and fellow battle rapper Geechi Gotti on Saturday, during which Geechi mentioned their alleged relationship.

“I don’t give a fuck if you’re fucking this n*gga, just tell him to stop screwing the business. Y’all the poster child symbol for Black love. Every interview he show his admiration and tell the world how he think his woman the greatest. N*gga he held you down in prison for six years, I know it was not nice, he cried big tears,” he rapped. “He stood by you by your biggest accomplishments front row giving you big cheers. Man you got a beautiful baby girl who is also amazing. He’ll be damned if he lose you to this bozo in braces. Listen he took you out to the best foods, when you ain’t feeling good he put you back in the best moods!”

Remy, who had attended the battle, was later interviewed by 15MofeRadio to gather her perspective on the comments made during the event.

“He [was just saying] what’s been on the blogs for the last three/four months,” she said. “I’m comfortable. Listen, it’s battle rap.”

Remy and Papoose have been married for 15-year, having also dated for several years prior to tying the knot. Together, they are proud parents to a daughter named Reminisce MacKenzie Jr.

Another person is coming forward, claiming that Lizzo’s team created a toxic work environment.

This time, it’s her wardrobe designer, Asha Daniels. She is the woman responsible for creating the looks for the singer and backup dancers during her tour. According to Daniels, Lizzo’s management team and employees with her production company would force dancers to change clothes in small spaces that offered no privacy. This allowed white male staffers to view the plus-sized dancers half-naked and would often laugh at them. Daniels also says the production company supervisor, Amanda Nomura, made several racist and fatphobic comments.

While Lizzo does not necessarily seem to be the culprit, Daniels’ attorney, Ron Zambrano, says since she is the boss, “the buck stops with her.” However, a spokesman for Lizzo, Stefan Friedman, calls Zambrano’s and Daniels’ claims a “publicity-stunt lawsuit.” He also suggested Daniels has never met nor spoken with Lizzo personally.

Zambrano also represents Lizzo’s three backup dancers, who say they interacted with the star regularly and were treated poorly while touring with her. Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez claim the “Truth Hurts” forced them to attend a sex show and even eat a banana from a nude dancer’s private area. The sexual misconduct was also apparent in Daniels’ suit, who says she was in a group chat with members of Lizzo’s team who shared explicit photos of a male. They also commented about hiring sex workers to perform and purchasing drugs, which the star allegedly turned a blind eye to.

Lizzo has denied all allegations against her. Friedman has called the latest allegations from Daniels “absurd.”

Travis Scott’s phone is reportedly at the bottom of the ocean, making it impossible for Astroworld victims to retrieve its data.

The revelation came out during Monday’s eight-hour deposition. The rapper and producer is still embroiled in a legal fight with survivors of the deadly 2021 music festival and the families of those who perished. Lawyers for the plaintiffs requested phone records but were told that Scott’s phone accidentally went into the water during a boating trip. This setback is a blow to the plaintiff’s lawyers, who have accused Scott’s team of purposefully dodging their requests for his cell phone information. However, the “Sicko Mode” performer claims giving up the device would place confidential information at risk of leaking, despite it being court-ordered. With the device now being somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico, it’s clear Scott won’t have to worry about its content seeing the light of day.

Scott has been cleared of all criminal charges related to the ten people who were crushed to death at his festival. However, he is still facing several civil suits. The first was settled in October 2022. His representative, Ted Anastasiou, questioned why Scott was the focus of the investigation despite having been cleared of wrongdoing.

“What is not typical is how the media continues to focus on him despite being cleared of any wrongdoing by extensive government investigations, including by the Houston Police Department,” he said to the Associated Press.

Scott has not said much about the case since his infamous interview with Charlamagne tha God in December 2021, which many felt was shifting the blame to others aside from himself.

Something about getting it on in the sky gives some people a thrill. But let’s face it, it’s not that easy to achieve, especially when you’re on a  flight packed with others.

Still, sex on a plane happens to be on a lot of people’s bucket list. It’s like some kind of elite club. It’s definitely for the risky and the brave, and less than most can say they’ve actually had sex on a plane.

Here are a few tips from some flight crew members for those who want to earn their bragging rights as a member of the “Mile High Club.”

Marika Mikusova, a former flight attendant for a luxury airline and author of “Diary of A Flight Attendant” suggests the toilet as the safest place to try and join the ‘mile high club’.

“The lavatories in economy class are by far the ‘safest’ place to join the mile-high club,” she explained. “Economy class is so vast that you can barely see the end of it. And it has several lavatories.”

One anonymous flight attendant said long-haul flights provide the best opportunity because they are relatively empty.

“A lot of them are overnight, so people have some time to drink, the cabin gets dark, and off you go.”

Another source says members-to-be should go for it at the right time.

“Do it when the cabin crew are seated and the seatbelt sign is on. Takeoff, landing, severe turbulence. Who knows, that could help. Crew service is also a good time. If the crew is up at the front of the cabin with the cart, no one is in the back, and that’s a perfect opportunity to use the lavatory.”

Another crewmember says it’s possible to get it on if you can book a first-class cabin enclosed suite. Not every airline has these type of cabins, but for those who are solid about crossing this off their list, then they should consider finding an airline that has enclosed suites that come with personal bathrooms and showers.

Lastly, remember this isn’t the time to rock your boo’s world. In other words it isn’t the time for hardcore action, moans and multiple positions. Keep it cool and not too much. You don’t want to bring attention to yourselves or get in trouble.

“I tell them you can’t do that here, it’s not acceptable. I don’t want to embarrass them and I don’t want to involve other passengers,” a source said.

Enjoy!

An autopsy has confirmed that actor Angus Cloud died due to an accidental overdose. 

The adored “Euphoria“ actor had a deadly mixture of cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamine in his system, the Alameda County Coroner confirmed. He’d also ingested benzodiazepine, which is a drug used to treat disorders such as anxiety. The actor passed away on July 31st in Oakland, California. 

His mother, Lisa, broke the news of his death to devastated fans. Shortly after, reports surfaced that Cloud was severely depressed and had suicidal thoughts after burying his father, Conor, just a week before his own demise, though Lisa doesn’t believe Cloud would have taken his own life. Days before he was found dead, he hung out with friends at an album release party. Those who saw him said he appeared in good spirits, People reports. 

“The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend. Angus was open about his battle with mental health, and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence,” the family said in a statement after Cloud died.

Cloud was only just beginning his acting career, landing his first big break as Fezco in the HBO hit series. His death shook his co-stars, with Zendaya, Javon Walton, Alexa Demie, and more all expressing their grief. Prior to landing the “Euphoria” gig, he appeared in several independent film and music videos. One of his final performances took place in the movie, “Your Lucky Day,” which will soon be distributed in the U.S. 

Cloud was just 25 at the time of his death.
