Waka Flocka caught heat online for supporting Donald Trump and trolls online suggested to have MAGA fans help him next time he gets jumped. Flame tweeted “TRUMP2024,” which stirred up major reactions, especially from the Hip-Hop community. Earlier in 2024, Flocka told all Joe Biden supporters to leave one of his concerts, and that definitely sparked some serious backlash.

Footage Released Showing New Orleans Killer Violently Turning Truck Onto Bourbon Street
A horrifying act of violence unfolded early New Year’s Day in New Orleans when a pickup truck, bearing a visible ISIS flag, plowed into a crowd of revelers on Bourbon Street.
The attack, carried out by Shamsud Din Jabbar, a 42-year-old U.S. citizen and Army veteran from Texas, claimed the lives of at least 10 people and left 35 others injured.
The FBI has labeled the incident an act of terrorism, intensifying the investigation into the events and possible connections Jabbar may have had to extremist organizations.
Surveillance video captured the white Ford pickup truck, reportedly a rental, turning aggressively from Canal Street onto the iconic Bourbon Street.
It accelerated past barricades and into a densely packed crowd celebrating the New Year. The carnage didn’t end there—authorities revealed that after the crash, Jabbar exited the vehicle wearing full military gear and opened fire on the responding officers.
Law enforcement quickly returned fire, fatally wounding him at the chaotic scene.
Inside the truck, investigators found an arsenal including firearms, explosives, and the ISIS flag, now a chilling centerpiece of the attack.
Authorities believe Jabbar intended to cause mass casualties, describing his actions as both “premeditated” and “calculated.”
Jabbar’s motives remain under investigation, though his past provides a troubling backdrop.
Once a member of the U.S. Army, he served as an information technology and human resources specialist before receiving an honorable discharge in 2015.
He had recently been living in north Houston, Texas, where he apparently led an unremarkable life until this week’s tragic events.
The FBI is exploring the possibility that Jabbar acted in coordination with others.
While no accomplices have been identified, agents have not ruled out the involvement of a larger network.
The discovery of his ISIS flag and explosives has fueled concerns about the extent of his radicalization and potential ties to extremist groups.
This devastating attack has left New Orleans in mourning.
Bourbon Street, typically a vibrant epicenter of music and celebration, is now a scene of heartache and loss.
City leaders and law enforcement are working diligently to support victims’ families and ensure enhanced security measures as the city moves forward.
The FBI has urged communities to remain vigilant, emphasizing how dangerous individuals can leverage common tools for mass violence.

The FBI says it’s investigating the event as an act of terrorism.
A truck plowed into a group of people celebrating New Year’s in the French Quarter this morning just after 3:15 a.m., and then the driver got out and started firing a weapon, with police returning fire.
The suspect is dead and has been identified as Shamsud Din Jabbar.
New Orleans Police Superintendent Ann Kirkpatrick said two officers were shot but are in stable condition.
The FBI is in charge of the investigation and are also looking into possible explosives found at the scene.

What in the pump it up is going on? Joe Budden is being charged after getting caught in 4K (literally) on a neighbor’s Ring camera butt naked outside. Court docs obtained by TMZ show Budden was charged with lewdness on December 4 in Edgewater, NJ. On December 30th, the Edgewater Police Department was called about a man completely naked outside their home. The caller says there’s footage of the podcaster trying to punch in a code on someone’s door a few times before going back to his own apartment in the building. The court papers say the resident and her two kids saw the whole thing on their phone.
Joe Budden said he got kicked out of his apartment for recording his podcast there. He’s also talked on his podcast about being a sleepwalker. Nima Ameri (Joe’s attorney), made a statement on his behalf, “Mr. Budden is saddened by Police Chief Martin’s press release. Mr. Budden has been waiting weeks for his cross complaints to be processed which include substantially more serious charges include possible felony charges against the persons behind these charges against him. The Chief has in our opinion sat on those but instead used his time to gain some free publicity for himself. Chief Martin should seek publicity by doing notable policing not inflaming disorderly person allegations.”
More news to come as the story develops.

The last 12 months have been an emotional rollercoaster to say the least. Skillz has brought back his popular year end recap with the “2024 Rap Up.”
As spotted on Hip Hop N More Richmond, VA native has resurrected his year in review series. Back in 2002 the “B-Boy Document 99” MC reviewed all the happenings in the culture and beyond over Common’s “Come Close” instrumental. For the next two decades he treated us to yearly installments that became synonymous with the last week in December. Eventually Uncle Murda adopted (read: stole) the idea which left Skillz with a bitter taste leading him to drop the tradition in 2021.
Thankfully he is back with a surprise edition with an accompanying video treatment. From the opener Skillz let us know that he was paying attention to all of the year’s biggest moments. “I’ve been gone for a minute now. I’m back with the Rap Up / It was crazy ass yesterday so you know I’m about to act up / And it starts right now / It’s about to go down/ Usher, the homie went crazy on that Super Bowl stage / Hey, and every song was bop/then ya’ll came for Jermaine in his lollypop socks” he raps.

PLAINS, Ga. — Former President Jimmy Carter is dead at the age of 100.
His son said he died Sunday at his home in Plains, Georgia. He is the longest-lived former President in our nation’s history. His wife Rosalynn Carter passed away at the couple’s home in November 2023 at the age of 96. He is survived by his four children and several grandchildren.
The former peanut farmer and Georgia governor became the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981 after beating Republican Incumbent President Gerald Ford in the 1976 election His campaign was focused on regaining the trust of the American people after Richard Nixon resigned during the Watergate Scandal. The Carter administration faced several challenges, including the 1979 oil shortage which resulted in high gas prices and long lines in the U.S. He struggled to end the Iranian hostage crisis when students in Tehran seized the U.S. Embassy and took 52 Americans hostage for 444 days. Many historians point to that as one of the biggest reasons behind his resounding defeat to Ronald Reagan in 1980.
In one of his greatest accomplishments, Carter brought together the Egyptian President and Israeli Prime Minister at the presidential retreat in Camp David in 1978. They agreed to the Camp David Accords, which ended the state of war that had existed between the two countries since 1948. He was tough on the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Carter ordered an embargo on the shipment of American grain to the Soviet Union and boycotted the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow over Russia’s invasion of Afghanistan.
After his presidency, Carter went on to become an active humanitarian. He worked with Habitat for Humanity in communities throughout Georgia and globally for nearly 40 years. He was also a nine-time Grammy nominee and a two-time Grammy winner in the spoken word category.
