@DaBlkNancyGrace
The language in this lawsuit screams Tyrone Blackburn. Akademiks could rot in 7 hells for all I care, but she needs a new attorney like yesterday.
Also hit with sex assault lawsuits today under NYS Adult Survivors Act, which expires on Friday:
1. Jimmy Iovine, co-founder of
@Interscope
2. Axl Rose of
@gunsnroses
3. Marcellus Wiley, former
@NFL
player
4. Cuba Gooding Jr (2)
5. Harve Pierre, former President
@BadBoyEnt
As of last week, 2,587 filings for sex abuse were made under NYS Adult Survivor Act. Approximately 1,100 have been filed against NY state prisons, and 470 against Rikers Island Prison Complex.
What have we learned so far from MT?
1. Their total rent was $285K/mth
2. They eh pay since 2021
3. The Port waived up to $3.7M in rent during COVID
4. Three of their tenants’ rent come up to $225K/mth.
5. They tried to pay down the $10M debt with a $1M cheque
Sprangers 🤣🤣

His name is Terrence DEYALSINGH. He is is Indian descent. Just like Nicki’s dad.
His hair is white because…he’s like 63 years old 🤣🤣🤣

One correction - the label he was on at the time of “Yeah” would’ve been Arista. But it wasn’t the first time they screwed up Usher’s lead singles. “Nice & Slow” was going to be first single of “My Way” till JD intervened & “You Make Me Wanna” was chosen.
Other noted persons sued under NYS Adult Survivors Act:
1. Bill Cosby
2. Donald Trump, whose survivor E. Jean Carroll won a $5M lawsuit
3. The estate of Ahmet Ertegun, founder of
@AtlanticRecords
4. LA Reid, former chairman of

5. Doug Morris, CEO of

@MikeFree_
To be clear - “Nice & Slow” did well as a second single because of the timing of its release in Fall/Winter 1997-98. But if they dropped that in the middle of summer instead of “You Make Me Wanna”, it might have sank all the way to the bottom.

It’s hard to get on Instagram in Trinidad?
The same way it was hard to find her address to serve her with a lawsuit on Monday?
Been contemplating how to address this without being derogatory.
But…the “older generation”
hasn’t been stifling you. They probably just wish you’d write better songs. Learn song structure. Learn composition. Those things aren’t being taught to those who are making “hits”.
“Dy ole ppl Carnival!”
Allyuh so never carry allyuh children in a mas camp to see costumes actually being made, a Calypso tent or a panyard when pan tuning/making - and it shows.
If people read the court documents for both the indictment and the lawsuit and not the headlines about the raid, they’d realize why this wasn’t supposed to be done at all.
@EnterDaDome
Not only Ty, B-High (his cousin Bryant), Emory Jones (who was in prison from 1997-2015 & now runs Paper Planes), “OG” Juan Perez (who runs Roc Nation Sports) & Biggs have been mentioned in his rhymes from day 1 & were his friends before he got into music.
The Carnival regulations have existed in the same format, line and letter every year.
We never noticed because nobody had a slow news day - or reason to just antagonize a beleaguered population and profit off the clicks and engagement.
Then again, that’s 🇹🇹 media for you.
A story.
When our son was born in 2016, given the lack of adequate paternity leave, I took a little more than two months vacation leave to be at home and be involved which was more than needed as my wife had an emergency c-section & her dad became terminally ill 2 maths later.
Long story short: even if you don’t think you have the time, make the greatest effort to carve that time out for your loved ones - especially your children if you have them. They will appreciate it.
Just a reminder about WC 1990.
🇹🇹 needed 10 pts to qualify.
We had 9 pts before Nov 19, 1989.
🇺🇸 had 7 pts.
We coulda win or draw and go 🇭🇺. But 🇺🇸 was hosting in 1994. It woulda look bad that they eh qualify in 1990 but hosting in 1994.
So guess what happened?

1st hit:
The page news was last updated in 2013.
I must say, having your outside woman win a beauty contest she is clearly ineligible for is the worst way to give her the trip overseas that you promised.
It coulda been much easier, I swear.
Parents promise their children impossible sh!t all the time & don’t deliver 🤣🤣🤣
Long story short re: Tobago “oil” spill, a contract was awarded to a Guyanese company with zero experience & they allegedly hired the worst possible company to transport fuel oil with the most deficient equipment to do so.
Basically corruption & incompetence.
The Zoological Society of Trinidad & Tobago also has and manages a 300 acre Wildlife Rehabilitation facility where surplus animals are kept and taken care of and where other animals seized by the TTPS & game wardens are also treated w/some being released back into the wild.
Gary screaming hysterically into his phone’s mic every time there’s a reminder that his tenure as Police Commissioner was so riddled with alleged wrongdoing and corruption is the kind of unscripted drama networks could never pay for. 🤣🤣🤣
So…nobody coulda stop homegirl in the Space when she say we Doh have no more oil and gas?
Because NGC make a $1.2 bn profit this year, Heritage make $1.4 last year and oil is $90 a barrel and gas is $5 a mmbtu. Methanol is $400/tonne.
@tttliveonline
pls screen ur guests.
Last month Allyuh didn’t think Certified Sampson was funny and all kinda talk bout Kyle funnier.
De man do one bad allegedly sponsored Orchard juice post and Allyuh gone with Ezekiel yes 🤣🤣🤣
@TheMegaChloe
The lawsuit wasn’t dismissed. His motion within the lawsuit for her to disclose all her sex partners under oath was dismissed.
He is a terrible, vile man.
Why Majah Hype wasn’t conscripted to the depths of irrelevance after beating the living daylights out of a woman and being jailed for it is beyond me.
But y’all coddled & supported him so he’s still here to talk sh!t.
Comedian Majah Hype has found himself in the growing eye of a firestorm after he made comments that appeared to disparage Guyana's legitimacy as a 'Caribbean country'.
Occasionally my son would see a toy locally and I’d think that I’ll compare prices online to see if it’s reasonable.
Ain’t NO WAY the mechanical marble run for $40 USD is $2095 TTD in store.
For the last 11 years, my mother, sisters, brother along with friends & extended family have come together and put forward this band out of a love for Carnival, our culture & our country. It’s a labour of love (because expenses have come out of pocket & we’ve given costumes away)
@oldmanebro
As a Trinidadian, I am always baffled how and why Nicki goes default Jamaican when she decides to go “Caribbean”. Foxy too.
Beside that, she hit her stride in the last 8 bars. Decent enough.
@MissSassbox
The song has FIVE writers - Lil Jon, Sean Garrett & LaMarquis Jefferson being 3 of the five. And the master recording is owned by Sony.
She’d have to check her lawyers to see if the money to clear was above what her team could afford instead of blaming Ciara’s “hating”

21 in 1971. Born in 1950. 14 studio albums, 3 live albums (1962-71). He actually recorded less when he turned 21 and his original contract with Motown expired, giving him full creative control. He recorded 13 albums (and 1 live and 1 greatest hits) after that between 1972-2005.
The news that the CashApp founder was stabbed by a colleague & not some rando black person reminds me of how some of us 🇹🇹 assume loudly that some murders are committed by a Specific Demographic but fall eerily silent when it ends up being a family member or friend.

Nah. This happened in court Thursday. What was reported before would’ve been his attempts to have the classification removed - and that didn’t end well.

It was actually a home for girls who would have had various issues in their lives - including abuse, addiction and being exposed to criminal activity. Making it all the way worse.
The Piarco scandal has four related court matters. Of those four, the one related to an alleged bribe paid to Basdeo Panday by Ishwar Galbaransingh and Carlos John - was discontinued. The two substantial matters - which relate to alleged misappropriation of about $350M - remain.
@KalainH
The sad irony of this is that he himself enjoyed this very privilege less than two decades ago as a “prestige band” - much to the dismay of smaller bands - and had no issue with same. But in a country with short memories and younger generations who don’t know…
The last few weeks have been a challenge. This week was…
But I got home around 7 this evening & getting around to helping with homework and Tiny Boy goes:
“Daddy?”
“Yes?”
“I’ll take care of you!”
Yeah, earth, swallow me whole. 😭🥰
@Antionette_B1
You’d be more looking towards Emancipation Day, which is celebrated on August 1 and has been since 1985. Trinidad & Tobago was the first independent country in the world to celebrate it as a public holiday.
So now, a month shy of him turning 7, I’m still surprised that after he gets ready for bed, he asks me every night to come lie down with him before he goes to sleep. I haven’t taken my doing it for granted, but I never thought it stuck with him as something he grew used to.
Howwwww Allyuh vex because ppl posted their positive interactions with TTPS officers as they were invited to so do? Next time ask for the pitchforks & torches and yuh will get the desires of yuh heart. 🫥
If history is worth anything, the attorney pursuing the lawsuit re POSGH NICU should be a good indicator if this is a cash grab/political opportunism.
How nobody saw that since last week is beyond me.
Seriously though, nobody find it strange that this alleged Jaguar eat EIGHT DOGS AND A PIG in a small village in Palo Seco in one weekend and not one media house interview the owners?
Browny(s) and dem is really de dog in here?

She wasn’t invited. They offered a phone call. But, she lies to either distort facts impacting her negatively or to make herself seem more important than she actually is.

Not only because of Adele (& Taylor). There are less pressing plants since vinyl declined a few decades ago & labels shuttered many of them. Also the Apollo Masters fire in 2020 reduced the availability of the lacquer used to make vinyl records. The only other factory is in Japan

I think this is the Sony/Columbia money. When they couldn’t see eye to eye creatively, she bought her own gear and recorded her own stuff.
@craigspoplife
I wouldn’t lie, I didn’t give much credence to the Dallas Austin interview because it was done by DJ Vlad.
But Kandi? And worse, when she worked with them in 2000, they were way past their peak! If anything, THEY were lucky to work with her because she was way out there!
