Kodak Black wasn’t pleased with Ray J’s assessment of his Drink Champs appearance, threatening him via social media Sunday (Oct. 29).
The recent appearance of Kodak Black on the latest episode of the Drink Champs podcast hosted by N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, sparked a good amount of commentary on his behavior. It also caused some to express concern, with Ray J being one of the more vocal commenters. “Yo somebody need to grab bro and make sure he good,” Ray J wrote in a now-deleted post on Instagram after the episode aired. “This ain’t the interview Nore. We gotta help this dude. I took him to Trump house and he did the most. They were not happy with the experience bc he had no guidance and respect.” He also directly addressed the influential West Coast figure Wack 100. “Yo [Wack 100] let’s figure out how we can help this guy instead of watching him self-destruct.”
The words of concern didn’t go over well at all with Kodak Black, who expressed his anger through an Instagram Live session. “Ray J your little a*s is a b*tch, homie” he snapped in the video. “I don’t need your help, p*ssy-a*s n*gga. I’m straight. F*ck wrong with you, homie? Beat your little a*s.” The ”No Flocking” rapper continued to curse out the singer and entrepreneur while walking around a residence, sometimes walking off camera.
“You had nothing to do with that Trump sh*t,” he continued. You had nothing to do with that Trump sh*t. They be hating that p**ssy-ass n*gga. You just want to go viral. You want to go viral on the street. Talking about you took me to Trump house. Who the f*ck you is? Trump got me out of prison, homie. You think I need you to take me to Trump’s [house]?”
The reference to former President Donald Trump stems from a dinner meeting that Ray J had with him in March of this year at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate a year after the rapper was pardoned by Trump. Video footage from that event showed Kodak Black, aka Bill Kahan Kapri, meeting Trump who asked him “How are you” as the two came face to face, even exchanging a fist bump as they briefly spoke. “It was the right thing to do,” Ray told Page Six of the New York Post at the time. “Trump pardoned him.”

Kodak Black is apparently still riding with former President Donald Trump, based on his remarks in a new interview.
Rapper Kodak Black was the latest guest on the Drink Champs podcast hosted by N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, and his recent comments regarding former President Donald Trump took center stage during the interview. N.O.R.E. brought him up while referencing the pardon that Kodak Black got in December 2020. “Yeah, I f**k with that boy. We ain’t even gotta talk too much about the sh*t,” he replied.
The “Super Gremlin” rapper had been incarcerated after pleading guilty to a firearm possession charge in 2019 after falsifying records on federal forms to obtain those guns in Florida. Trump would grant him a pardon, commuting his sentence. “He a Gemini like me — his birthday two days after my s–t,” Kodak Black continued. “And that boy, like, he be vibin’ out here too.” When N.O.R.E. then brought up Trump’s current financial troubles due to the massive civil fraud lawsuit in New York brought against him and his removal from the Forbes 400 list of richest Americans, he asked if the 26-year-old would assist him with a million dollars. “Of course, n—a,” he replied.
Kodak Black, also known as Bill Kahan Kapri, has been a consistently vocal supporter of the twice-impeached former president. After being released from prison in January 2021, the rapper dropped a new track called “Last Day In”, giving Trump a shoutout. “Trump just freed me, but my favorite president is on the money/ All they hatin’ presidents has become evident to me.”
In an Instagram Live from earlier this year, he lauded Trump with praise when comparing him to other Republican candidates for President. “I feel like these people on some other sh*t,” Kodak said. “So they know like, they gon’ try to get Trump out the way ’cause Trump a stand-up ni**a, he a real ni**a. He’ll let a bi**h do anything… Trump a real ni**a, man, a soldier.”

A Black reporter who asked Republican House of Representatives members about their new speaker with an extremist past was told to “shut up” and booed.
On Tuesday night, the continued chaos over the role of speaker in the House of Representatives seemed to end when Mike Johnson of Louisiana was elected to be their nominee. At a press conference to announce the news, Johnson was surrounded by gleeful GOP members when ABC News reporter Rachel Scott (who is Black) posed a question. “Mr. Johnson, you helped lead the efforts to overturn the 2020 election results,” Scott began. “Do you stand by —”
Scott was then interrupted by those assembled around Johnson, who began to boo her. GOP Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado said “oh God” as others yelled out “Go away!” Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina, standing off to the left of the podium, then loudly yelled, “Shut up! Shut up!” Johnson, who is also the Vice Conference Chair, smiled and said, “Next question.” The entire exchange, caught on video by C-SPAN, soon went viral. Fervent Donald Trump supporter Johnson took over as Majority Speaker on Wednesday, ending a turbulent three-week period that saw Rep. Kevin McCarthy ousted and Representatives Steve Scalise of Louisiana and Jim Jordan of Ohio be denied the job, with Tom Emmer of Minnesota dropping his bid after a few hours.
Rep. Foxx has been notorious for her brusque behavior towards members of the press in the past, particularly when it comes to the members-only elevators in the Capitol buildings. Two days earlier, she yelled at reporters to “get away from the damned elevator” in response to them being gathered by an elevator seeking comment from the GOP Representative Byron Donalds of Florida.
The moment has now become an ad for a group created to combat MAGA politicians based in New York who supported the extremist Johnson for the role. “ He has no business being Speaker… His extreme agenda – from a national abortion ban to cuts to Social Security – will impact millions of New Yorkers, which is why it is absolutely imperative we come together and raise the alarm bell on this new MAGA Speaker and his divisive and deeply unpopular record,” said Courage For America spokesperson José Morales, Jr. The ad is now airing in parts of upstate New York.

OK, this is yuge!
A second co-defendant in Donald Trump’s RICO indictment for allegedly interfering with the 2020 election in Georgia has pleaded guilty. But not just any defendant. Former Trump attorney Sidney Powell was one of the most visible, publicity-loving members of the ex-president’s legal team. She was basically ex-NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani‘s sidekick as they tied up courts at every level with frivolous cases and easily dismissed alleging the fiction that Trump lost his bid for a second term because of illegal voting, made-up ballots and rigged voting machines.
She was also charged with six misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference with performance of election duties, which, on Thursday, she pleaded guilty to.
From USA Today:
Powell agreed to testify in future trials in exchange for serving six years of probation, a $6,000 fine and paying restitution of $2,700.
Powell is one of 19 co-defendants charged in the case, which alleged a broad racketeering conspiracy. Other portions of the conspiracy included the recruitment of fake presidential electors to vote for Trump despite President Joe Biden winning Georgia, lying about election results to state officials and in court records, and soliciting public officials to violate their oaths of office.
Legal experts said Powell’s agreement to testify against others in the case is “very significant” because she dealt at length with Trump, lawyer Rudy Giuliani and others charged in the conspiracy.
“I think it’s very significant because she is one of the people who was closest to Trump in many of these alleged nefarious activities, and as part of the agreement, she must testify truthfully against Trump as well as the other defendants,’ said John Banzhaf, a George Washington University law professor who has been following the case closely. “So it is a major victory for Fani Willis and certainly a major concern for Trump.”
Powell was initially charged with conspiring with bail bondsman Scott Hall, who has also pleaded guilty to the RICO charges against him and others to access election equipment provided by Dominion Voting Systems without authorization. They even hired computer forensics firm SullivanStrickler to send a team to copy software and data from voting machines and computers they were told they couldn’t legally access. Another way of putting that is that they used fraudulent means to prove Dominion’s voting machines were fraudulent, which, of course, they were not.
It’s worth pointing out that conspiring to undermine democracy in order to keep Trump in office after he was legally voted out should not be a misdemeanor and certainly should result in more than less than a year of probation and less than $10,000 in fines. On top of that, Powell won’t even have to call herself a convict officially.
More from USA Today:
Powell’s agreement fell under Georgia’s First Offender Act, which will allow her to “honestly say” she was never convicted of the charges if she successfully completes her probation and is discharged, according to prosecutor Daysha Young. If Powell violates the terms of her first-offender sentence or commits another offense while on probation, her first-offender status could be revoked and she could be resentenced to the maximum, Young said.
Still, legal experts feel that Powell’s plea is a big step toward the prosecutors proving their case against Trump and the other 17 co-defendants considering she was such a major player in his circus-like MAGA games.
“Miss Powell is at the vortex, the center, the hub of the alleged conspiracy,” said Gene Rossi, a former federal prosecutor and Justice Department official who has decades of experience with RICO cases. “She will be a phenomenal witness for the government because she was at strategic meetings, part of important conversations and she was a leader in implementing the scheme to discredit the lawful election of Joe Biden.”

An influencer and avid supporter of Donald Trump has been sent to prison for attempting to stop Black people from voting in 2016.
On Wednesday (Oct. 18), the Department of Justice announced that Douglass Mackey, a rabid supporter of former President Donald Trump was sentenced to seven months in prison for election interference in Brooklyn, N.Y. Mackey, who went by the username “Ricky Vaughn” on X, formerly known as Twitter, had been found guilty of using his account to spread misinformation geared to specifically trick Black people into believing that they could vote by text message. This came shortly after he sent messages to his 58,000 followers about the need to “limit Black turnout” in the 2016 election between Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
An example of Mackey’s misconduct found him tweeting a photo of a woman standing in front of an “African Americans For Hillary” sign. “Avoid the Line. Vote from Home,” the tweet read. “Text ‘Hillary’ to 59925.” The tweet was also accompanied by the hashtag that Clinton’s campaign used at the time – #ImWithHer. The tweet was reportedly sent out November 1, 2016. A further investigation by the FBI found that Mackey also sent out a tweet featuring a font similar to that used by Clinton’s campaign team with a woman sitting at a desk typing on a phone. The message was in Spanish and used the same hashtag and a copy of Clinton’s campaign logo. That tweet was sent out around Election Day.
“The defendant weaponized disinformation in a dangerous scheme to stop targeted groups, including black and brown people and women, from participating in our democracy,” said United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Breon Peace in the press release. “This groundbreaking prosecution demonstrates our commitment to prosecuting those who commit crimes that threaten our democracy and seek to deprive people of their constitutional right to vote.” Mackey had also written at length saying Black voters were “gullible,” and was outed by the M.I.T. Media Lab as a top election influencer.
Andrew Frisch, Mackey’s attorney, had written to U.S. District Judge Ann M. Donnelly that Mackey was a changed man after beginning psychotherapy in 2018. “The Douglass Mackey who stands before the court for sentencing is not Ricky Vaughn of seven years ago,” the memorandum said. Judge Donnelly denied Frisch’s request for leniency, saying that Mackey’s actions were “nothing short of an assault on our democracy.”

Waka Flocka Flame has publicly declared his support for Donald Trump, reversing a past course of criticizing him frequently.
On Monday (October 16), fans of Waka Flocka Flame were surprised at his post on X, formerly Twitter which simply said in all capital letters “TRUMP2024.”
He’d follow that up by sharing a photo of him standing next to the twice-impeached former president in front of the presidential seal. It’s not clear when the photo was taken, or if it is simply a photo manufactured through Photoshop.
The former 1017 Brick Squad member would then issue a post stating that he wouldn’t discuss his change of heart. “I’m an not a politician and i don’t wanna talk politics… i only answer to the people that made me and that’s my FANS aka THE PEOPLE… i love y’all with every bone in my body man Squaddd,” he wrote.
The about-face is surprising to many, as Waka Flocka Flame was once one of the more vocally opposed to Trump, once writing “F–k Donald J. Trump” in a post back in 2015 as the businessman-turned-politician began his campaign for president. In a subsequent interview with Sirius XM he added, “I’m not voting for Donald Trump because he’s for money. In a time like this, we need somebody that’s for the people, and Trump is definitely not for the people.”
But it seems that there is a distinct point where the “Hard In Da Paint” rapper shifted his attitude towards Trump. In 2021, he was recognized by the Trump administration for his humanitarian work with Daughter of Destiny, a Chicago-based non-profit organization helping women in need find healthcare, employment, food, and housing.
Waka Flocka Flame posted his thanks accompanied by a clip of Daughter of Destiny CEO Pastor Apostle Dr. Bridget Outlaw presenting him with the award and the medal. “I just want to thank President Trump for recognizing me,” he said at the time. “I wanna thank Bridget and just everyone who love me with enough love back and do everything that I’ve wanted to do that was generous.”

Former President Donald Trump was hit with a limited gag order by Judge Tanya Chutkan after making incendiary false remarks about Special Counsel Jack Smith and his family.
On Monday (October 16), U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan issued a limited gag order on the former president after a lengthy hearing. The decree prevents Trump from publicly attacking Special Counsel Jack Smith and his family, court staff, and potential witnesses in the upcoming trial concerning his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Trump has argued that a gag order would impact his rights to free speech, and that was echoed in arguments by his lawyer, John F. Lauro. Judge Chutkan slapped down those claims, saying that Trump’s right to free speech does not allow him “to launch a pretrial smear campaign” against people. “No other defendant would be allowed to do so,” she added, “and I’m not going to allow it in this case.”
The limited gag order is the second that was handed to Trump in the last two weeks, with the first being ordered by Judge Arthur F. Engoron in his civil trial in Manhattan. Judge Engoron made the order after Trump posted a photo to his Truth Social account falsely claiming that Engoron’s law clerk was dating Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer. “Personal attacks on members of my court staff are unacceptable, inappropriate and I won’t tolerate it,” he stated to Trump’s attorneys.
It is notable that the gag order has limitations that exclude President Joe Biden as well as Judge Chutkan from being targeted by Trump in his comments. She had been threatened in the past, resulting in the arrest of a Texas woman. “It’s possible to craft a narrowly tailored order to serve those interests,” Judge Chutkan stated during the hearing. The limitations also seem to allow Trump to make comments about former Vice President Mike Pence as long as the remarks didn’t focus on Pence’s role in the criminal case.
Trump’s response came while he was at a campaign stop in Iowa. “They put a gag order on me, and I’m not supposed to be talking about things that bad people do, and so we’ll be appealing very quickly,” Trump said before adding, “I’ll be the only politician in history where I won’t be allowed to criticize people.”

Journalist Angela Rye criticized and fact checked Black supporters of Donald Trump—particularly Sexyy Red and other rappers.
As the 2024 Presidential elections approach, journalist Angela Rye has been observing that there have been rappers making public declarations of supporting former President Donald Trump if not supporting Republican politicians. Ice Cube has drawn some flack for his stance as well as Killer Mike and Ye aka Kanye West, amongst others. The most recent from the rap world to do so has been Sexxy Red, the rising star who gave her public support for Trump in a recent interview.
The St. Louis rapper’s comments compelled Rye to create and release a two-part video in her Break It Down series posted through social media addressing her and other rappers’ fascination with the twice-impeached president. “This is Part 2 for #SexyyRed and other Blacks for Trump: what in the hell do you have to lose? EVERYTHING,” Rye wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter announcing the second part, concluding: “I heard y’all on the stimulus piece. I have something coming on that ASAP, but I wanted you to get this history first.”
“Some of this misinformation — some of these ‘facts’ — have to be fact-checked,” Rye begins in the first video. “The arguments about what Trump has done for the Blacks have to be called out, have to be addressed. This video isn’t just about Sexyy Redd. This video series are really to ensure that Black folks who are for Trump or just might be by default understand what he’s done or not done for us.”
She then goes on to state that just because Trump commuted the sentences of Kodak Black, Lil Wayne, and Alice Johnson doesn’t mean that he has been hard at work trying to pardon other Black people, making allusions to his treatment of the Exonerated Five. “There are still a lot of Black folks who were in jail under Donald Trump. See the thing that you have to understand is that out of all of the people who requested clemency, a commutation, a pardon, Donald Trump was actually the president who pardoned the least number of people since 1945,” Rye stated.
The CEO of IMPACT Strategies stressed that she put these videos together to inform and not berate Sexyy Red and other members of the Black community. “I did this out of love. I am committed to teaching with grace,” she writes.

Sexyy Red is still burning up the charts as her star continues to rise and that means more opportunities to sit down with outlets and share her worldview. However, some fans are wondering why the buzzing Hip-Hop starlet is showing support for beleaguered former president Donald Trump.
Sexyy Red, 25, was a guest on the This Past Weekend podcast with host Theo Von and expressed her admiration for Orange Jesus aka Donald Trump. Like many a Black Trump supporter has shared in the past, the St. Louis star believes that times were financially better in the States under the guidance of the former president and business mogul.
“I like Trump,” Sexyy Red began. “Yeah, they support him in the hood. Like at first, I don’t think people was f*ckking with him. They thought he was racist, saying little sh*t against women. But once he started getting Black people out of jail and giving people their free money. Aww baby, we love Trump. We need him back in office. We need him back because, baby, them checks. Them stimulus checks. Trump, we miss you.”
As some on X, formerly known as Twitter, have explained, nothing about the stimulus payments during the pandemic came at no cost. In fact, those checks were the result of taxpayer contributions but we didn’t expect the “SkeeYee” artist to know that.
On X, we’ve seen all kinds of reactions to Sexyy Red praising Donald Trump and declaring that the hood loves him despite little evidence supporting that claim. Check out those reactions below.

One New York Judge is attempting to do something most people have failed to do: shut Donald Trump up.
Disgraced former US President Donald Trump and his Truth social fingers finally got him in trouble.
Judge Arthur Engoront hit the twice impeached former Commander In Chief and his sorry legal team with a gag order after Trump attacked one of the Judge’s staffers, NPR reports.
Per NPR’s reporting, the gag order imposed on the second day of trial will determine if the legendary con artist will be liable for the “limits posting or publicly speaking about any member of the judge’s staff.”
If Trump or his legal team fails to comply, there will be sanctions, Engoront said.
The gag order comes after two days of Trump hurling insults at the Judge and Attorney General Letitia James on his bum a** social media platform, Truth Social, and in front of cameras.
In typical Trump fashion, he told reporters outside the courtroom on Monday and Tuesday that the Judge and NY Attorney General were politically corrupt and accused James’ a Black woman, of being racist.
He also said Engoront of being “rogue.”
We are on day three of the trial, and he claims he will testify “at the appropriate time” in this proceeding.
This fraud case is one of four he is facing in New York City, and he is currently a witness on the attorney general’s and the defense’s witness lists. According to NPR, it could be several weeks before he takes the stand.
It will be must-see television when that happens cause you know Trump is going to say some absurdity.
