ATL Blog: Wydham Hotel Is One Nasty Place! 4 Year-Old Infected W/ Herpes After Used Condom Found In Bed!

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

For all who have booked the Wyndham hotel as your Labor Day crash pad might want to pull the sheets off the bed and issue a full inspection. A four year-old child found a used condom in his hotel bed, and mistaken it for a balloon. You can imagine what happened next.

Per CBS Atlanta News:

Carmen Jones said she is hurting inside not knowing what sexually transmitted diseases her grandson may now have.

“The doctors at Scottish Rite said, if it was some sort of herpes it would last seven to 10 days, and sure enough about 10 days he started getting better, but then the blisters reappeared,” said Jones.

Jones said she, her grandson and other family members stayed at the Wyndham Garden Hotel in downtown Atlanta on July 31.

When they got up the next morning, her grandson found a used condom in their bed.

“I ran out the bathroom and my grandson had a condom in his mouth. His tongue was in the condom and he was trying to blow it up. I immediately took it out of his mouth and he thought it was a balloon, that he was blowing up a balloon,” said Jones.

Jones said she became even more worried when she saw what was inside the condom.

“It still had, what appeared to be semen in the condom. I want to take the condom and have it tested,” said Jones.

But Jones said the manager at the Wyndham Hotel would not let her take the condom.

Jones said after 24 hours, her grandson started throwing up, he developed a fever and started showing signs of a possible STD.

Jesus. Could you imagine. And though my initial response would be to whoop the four years old ass, he doesn’t know any better. But he just learned a tough life lesson early on didn’t he? Whew.

Wyclef Jeans Goes Into Hiding, Blames Death Threats!

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

How the might has fallen. Just weeks after announcing his hopeful Presidential bid for the poverty stricken country of Haiti, Wyclef Jean is now reporting that he’s in hiding in fear of his life.

The Guardian reports:

The ex-Fugees star said he was at a secret location in Haiti in defiance of threats to leave the country but revealed few details about who may be responsible for the intimidation.

Jean’s presidential hopes hang in the balance as electoral officials prepare to announce whether he is eligible to run in what promises to be a tumultuous contest with dozens of candidates.

A list of candidates who meet constitutional requirements to lead the earthquake-hit country – requirements that could disqualify Jean – was due to be published yesterday but officials said several unnamed candidates remained under review and that the announcement would not be made until Friday.

No offense to Wyclef. I know he’s got the best intentions, but faux death threats won’t pull at the heart strings of the media. We’re pretty much heartless, sir. Who else out there thinks that Jean needs to sit down somewhere cause there’s no way in HELL this is going to happen.

Wyclef Jean’s Presidential Bid Questioned By Sean Penn & Former Fugee’s Member Praz!

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Just days after musical prodigy announced his bid for President of Haiti, the response from Hollywood to the regular man has been one big fat “WTF?”

Philanthropist and Academy award winning actor Sean Penn went in on Wyclef, and essentially called him. His tone and reasoning’s regarding Wyclef was respectful, however you could tell Penn –and myself – wasn’t impressed.

“He has been virtually silent for those of us in Haiti. He has been a non-presence,” said Penn, who has been running a 55,000-person tent camp through the J/P Haitian Relief Organization he co-founded.

While acknowledging Jean was an “important voice,” Penn also accused the former Fugees frontman of misusing more than $US400,000 donated to his charity.

“That has to be looked into,” Penn said.

“I’ve been there (Haiti). I know what $400,000 could do for these people’s lives and for a 24-year-old girl right now who is dying.

“So, I want to see someone who is really, really willing to sacrifice for their country and not just someone who I personally saw with a vulgar entourage of vehicles that demonstrated a wealth in Haiti that, in context, I felt was a very obscene demonstration.”

I completely agree with Penn’s accusations. And never one to miss a publicity moment, checkout what former Fugee’s member — and Wyclef hater– Praz had to say per All Hip Hop:

“You’ve got 1.2 million people living in tent city right now. What are the plans to get these people out,” Pras said of the survivors of a January earthquake that devastated the already impoverished nation.

Pras is supporting the presidential bid of Michel Martelly, who announced his bid on Thursday.

“I have no qualifications for president; I have qualifications for a leader,” he told CBS “The reason why I even entertain this idea is education, job creation, agriculture, bringing security into the country.” “He’s more popular in Haiti than Wyclef,” said Pras.

Someone tell both these two fools to sit their asses down somewhere. Poor Haiti!

Update: Listen to Wyclef blast Sean Penn on Gayle King’s radio show.

Wyclef Jean Expected To Announce Presidential Bid For Haiti This Thursday!

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

The world has become very familliar with former member of the Fugee’s Wyclef Jean’s plight to end decades of corropution and poverty in his home land of Haiti. But, now its being rumored that Jean could be taking his policitical endevaours all the way to the White House. Um, the Haitin White House that is.

It’s being speculated by the blogs that Clef is going to make a shocking announcement on the struggling “Larry King Live” this Thursday, which of course is being met with mixed reviews. OK, well at least I’m having mixed reviews.

Per The Boston Herald:

He is a hero to a lot of people,” said Bendhjy Nazaire, 19, who immigrated to Somerville from Aux Cayes, Haiti, when he was 8 years old.

Jean, 37, was born in Haiti, but has lived in America for most of his life. He returned to his homeland to aid relief efforts following a catastrophic earthquake that devastated Haiti in January, killing an estimated 230,000 people and leaving 1 million homeless.

Jean’s family released a statement yesterday that read, “If and when a decision is made, media will be alerted immediately.”

Hey, I’m all for standing up and defending a people, however I’m just not sure if Jean is aware that he’d have to give up a lot of the pleasure of life — particularly in the music industry. I wouldn’t want him poppin bottles in a club when his people, who he’d ultimately be responsible for are living in shambles.

And lets not forget those pesky rumors, which have never really been dis-proven, about Wyclef Yele Haiti non-profit organization and those alleged misappropriation of funds.

Perhaps Akon could be run as his Vice President. Their chemistry is so in sync don’t cha think?

ATL Blog: Atlanta Metro On “Ticket Frenzy” List Starting August 1st?

Monday, July 26th, 2010

If you live in Atlanta and the heat isn’t an excuse for you to stay off the roads, this bit of information should definitely keep that ass in the house.

According to various national media outlets, state police are launching a 30 ticket frenzy in several states and GA is at the top of its list. This according to a new email that’s been circulating.

“Starting Aug 1, Georgia will launch a 30 day speeding ticket frenzy,” the email reads. “The state estimates that 9 million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets. 1 million will go to pay state troopers’ overtime. The rest to help with dwindling budgets.”

Local media confirmed the “ticket frenzy,” the email claims. It adds: “Look for city and county governments to adopt similar polices in the near future.”

The email also claims that “50 state troopers (will be) on duty at all times patrolling the 7 main intersections and highways” and that “every state trooper is supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10 to 20 minutes.” In addition to “30 brand new unmarked Dodge Charger Police cruisers,” authorities “are bringing in all of their part time.

According to the Examainer.com, this email has been a proven hoax, but I’m sorry when it comes to the police, I don’t even want to chance it. DRIVE SAFE!

Video: @Cthagod Admits He Hated On Drake, Questions Why NYC Radio Hatin On CNN [@Caponeqb N @Noreaga] & More!

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

Per Sumit w/ The Hip-Hop Chronicle:

In the first part of the interview, Charlamagne starts off speaking about his new AKA, which is Lou-minati! We get into his start into radio and how he knew early on that he wanted to be a radio presenter or a “super jock”.

The radio presenter also reveals he used to hustle and got into trouble but worked three jobs to do something positive, even working at Taco Bell for 2 weeks.

While I was in the studio, Charlamagne was speaking to Norega and he made an interesting comment.

He felt that New York radio wasn’t supporting C-N-N enough. So I ask Charlamagne why he think’s Capone-N-Norega aren’t getting the radio support.

And finally Charlamagne explains why he went in on Lil Wayne and admits that going at Drake was him being a hater.

Props to Sumit for grinding it out with the interviews.

ATL Blog: @BishopEddieLong ’s Private New Birth Office Robbed, iPad & iPhone Snatched!

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

Atlanta Pastor Eddie Long clearly forgot to say his prayers last night, as theives stormed into his private office and made off with a hefty stash of Long’s personal jewelry.

The extremely successful biblical franchise is a staple in the Metro Atlanta area, and isn’t immune to it’s own bit of controversy. New Birth Missionary Baptist Church rakes in millions each year with generous donations from its congregation, which rub some the wrong way.

DeKalb County police said Tuesday someone broke into Bishop Eddie Long’s personal office, and security cameras captured video of two men using a key to gain entry to the office.

According to police via My Fox 5, the men allegedly stole an iPad, an iPhone, speakers and jewelry.  Bishop Long said he forgives the burglars and he is praying for them.

Of course he forgives them. With all the money he rakes in an iPad and iPhone is a drop in the bucket. Yes, I’m biased with it comes to corporations disguising itself as “religion” just to avoid paying taxes.  I’m not judging more than I am side-eyeing certain mega-churches.

Time For An Intervention @Oprah, 54 People Shot Dead In Chicago Over The Weekend!

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Damn what’s up with Chicago these days? I mean I know it’s a rough city, but DAMN!

Fifty-four people were shot in Chicago between Friday night and Monday morning. Ten of the victims were killed, including two boys, between 16 and 20, who were found lying face down, naked, on the South Side early Monday morning.

Per The Sun Times:

The victims, black males believed to be between 16 and 20, remained unidentified as of late Monday afternoon.

On Monday, a 28-year-old man was found shot in the chest about 3 a.m. in the 7500 block of South Halsted Street near a South Side church, according to Gresham District police. A passing motorist found the man, identified as Credale Woulard of the 7700 block of South Ada Street, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office. He was dressed in women’s clothing and was found lying dead on the sidewalk.

In the South Side Englewood neighborhood, 44-year-old Darryl Dunn was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head in the 7200 block of South Marshfield Avenue at 2:02 a.m. Monday, authorities said.

Video: Seattle Officer Punches Woman In Face, Claims Woman Was “Verbally Antagonistic”

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

The Seattle Police is ONCE again the topic of discussion over a recent video that’s surfaced showing an officer punching an African-American women in the face over an apparent gross violation of the law. She jaywalked.

Reports suggest, the officer, who I predict will be fired by the end of the week, asked a group of young ladies over to his patrol car, at which point they became “verbally antagonistic.”

One girl allegedly tried to walk away, and the officer grabbed her to escort her back to his patrol car; the other girl then attempted to separate the officer and the girl. So the officer punched her.

However, if being physically assaulted by an officer of the law, in a city where local authorities are increasingly showing a disregard for young black people, check out the DISGUSTING comments in youtube.com.

After at least 300 years of captivity, oppression, racism and repeatedly being treated like second class citizens in a country that was built on the back of slaves, and it appears that for every step we take forward we take two steps back.

Comments like, “That b*tch deserved it for not being in the kitchen,” and, “N*gger’s should listen to the white man! And do what they are told!!! it should be like the old days!!” are truly shameless.

While there’s no video showing what lead up this event, an officer of the law punching a women in the face, when there was no visible physical threat, in my eyes makes this entire situation inexcusable.
