Fredo Santana dies: Rapper who appeared in Drake video passes away age 27, friend reports


On Media Outlook News: American rapper Fredo Santana, real name Derrick Coleman, has died at age 27, a close friend has said.
Record producer and rapper Maxo Kream reported the news on Instagram with a picture of Santana and the caption: “Damn man I’m lost for words right now I’m cryin my ass off Fredo I love yu B***h RIP a real Savage.” There is no official confirmation of his death at this time. 
Santana is best known for his appearance in the video for Drake’s “Hold On, We’re Going Home”, in which he played a man who kidnaps Drake’s onscreen girlfriend. Drake paid tribute to Santana shortly after Kream broke the news, sharing a picture of the two together with the caption: “Rest in Peace Santana”. DJ Akademiks, Lil Durk, and ASAP Twelvyy were amongst the other fellow musicians who paid tribute.
Born on 4 July, 1990, Santana became key to Chicago’s drill musicscene after the release of his first mixtape It’s A Scary Site, which featured guest appearances from Lil Reese, King L, Lil Durk, Gino Marley, Frenchie, and his cousin Chief Keef. He released his debut studio album in 2013, Trappin Ain’t Dead, via Savage Squad.  
Santana revealed last October that he’d been rushed to hospital with liver and kidney failure, according to XXLMag.com; he told fans on Instagram, ”Been in here since Friday doctor say a n***a had kidney failure an liver failure.” He announced at the time that his collab project with Chief Keef, Turbo Bandana, would be delayed due to his health issues.
“Hopefully I can be the face to sho n***as to slow down an we got our whole life ahead of us f*k being rock stars gettin high I got ptsd,” he later tweeted, referencing his hospitalisation. “I was running from my old life tryna get high didn’t want to face them demons... I’m getting help I might just go to rehab.”

Damn! Stevie J Dropped a Nuclear Bomb on Joseline in Court

Image
This feud between  Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta 's  Stevie J  and  Joseline Hernandez  has just gotten even nastier as the reality TV bad boy just accused his former lady of lying about every major detail about her life, down to her name. According to  TMZ , Stevie claims the self-proclaimed Puetro Rican princess's entire life is a lie, but his words weren't quite enough to get the attention of a judge to issue a restraining order in his favor. In the docs he filed, he says Joseline's real name is Shenellica Juneann Bettencourt and she's actually 39, 10 years older than she claims to be. On top of that, he says she isn't even of Puerto Rican descent and might be currently married to another man. He ends his claims saying the baby she is currently carrying isn't even his. None of the info he provided seemed to help in granting that restraining order against her, though.

Why Dr. Umar & General Seti’s Beef is a Problem

Image
Dr. Umar Johnson has become a major figure in the “conscious community” and has given many knowledgeable viewpoints on the issues that Blacks face. His views on systematic oppression, the Black church, and investing in and uplifting the young Black male have personally made me voluntarily watch his videos and interviews. But a few days ago, I was let down by this Black man who has consistently done and said questionable things for quite some time now. This man, who I viewed as a breath of fresh air for our community, revealed the main problem with our community in his latest scandal. What is being mocked and referred to as a “Conscious Beef” between Dr. Umar and General Seti, another well-known influencer, reveals just how contradictory and problematic these types of leaders are. The increase of individuals that are becoming “Conscious Pimps,” i.e. those who make a profit from the desires of Black people is a huge issue. Over the last few years, conscious pimp...
