Flint City Council Member Eric Mays Passes Away
Flint City Council member Eric Mays, who was known for his activism during the city’s water crisis and for a little bit of a disruptive behavior in public meetings. Unfortunately, he has died at the age of 65.
He was one of the first elected officials to raise questions about Flint’s water quality and he hosted a public forum several years ago to discuss it with residents. He was often at odds with his colleagues and was removed from plenty of city council meetings and he became known on social media for those outbursts. Here are a some of his viral moments… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebsWEw9yI8U

Russell Wilson Talks About Raising Ciara & Future’s Son
People are always questioning Russell Wilson’s relationship with Ciara and Future’s son. I didn’t realize that he’s actually been in Russell’s life since he was nine months old.
He recently spoke about the love he had for all of his kids, saying, “You got to love every single child as if they’re yours. God gave me that opportunity to raise them and to love them and to to care for them and teach them and to love them every day.”
He’s posted pictures saying “my son” in the captions, and some people have had problems with it. But, let’s be honest. Future is not in his life. I think the general consensus in the comments for that was that you should have more of a problem with Future not taking care of his kid, not with Russell Wilson trying to be a father. And not just this child. Future has multiple children that he’s not involved with.
New Sexual Assault Allegations Against Diddy
Diddy is being sued by a former employee for sexual assault, but this might be one that I don’t believe. Rodney Jones, known as Lil Rod, is a former producer and videographer for Diddy. He claims he was repeatedly sexually assaulted by Diddy and subjected to unwanted advances by associates of Diddy.
He goes on to allege that Diddy would parade around naked in front of him and that he thought he was being groomed to go along with other activities. But he also had some other crazy allegations, like that he got to an altercation with one of Yung Miami’s cousins and all this stuff.
So, Diddy’s attorney released a statement that said. “Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30-million lawsuit, shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday. His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines. We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. Our attempts to share proof with his attorney have gone ignored and they refuse to return calls. We’re going to address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them.”
You’d have to guess that Diddy is going to counter sue. Like Mean Jean asked this morning, how come Diddy didn’t have this same energy when Cassie sued him? Here’s my thing. Not one single person has ever come out and said that all of this stuff was not in Diddy’s character and defended him. The silence is deafening, as they say.
