According to Variety, prosecutors in California are charging Eric Holder, suspect in the Nipsey Hussle shooting, with murder and two counts of attempted murder. The incident took place outside The Marathon Clothing, a store owned by Hussle in South Los Angeles.
Prosecutors claim that on Sunday, Eric Holder had some conversations with Nipsey Hussle outside Hussle’s clothing store, and eventually returned with a handgun. In the parking lot, Holder opened fire on Hussle and two other men, killing Hussle and badly injuring the two men. Holder promptly fled in a getaway car was eventually arrested on Tuesday in Bellflower, California.
Eric Holder is being held in jail for $7 million bond and would likely face life in prison if convicted. Holder and his attorney have entered into a not guilty plea, according to Claudia Peschiutta of KNX 1070 AM NewsRadio.
In 2012, Eric Holder spent 6 months in prison for possession of a loaded handgun in public.
We all hope to see justice for Nipsey Hussle’s murder and if Holder turns out to be guilty, then he should spend the rest of his life in jail.
Diddy bought his son Christian Combs a gold jet ski for his 21st birthday. Though it appears surprising, Diddy has bought Christian other jet skis, but never one in gold. I mean, everybody knows that a gold jet ski is far superior to any other colored jet ski. Christian Combs is also a well known fan of these vehicles frequently seen riding them near his home in Miami.
Also, Christian could use a pick-me-up after the recent death of his mother, Kim Porter. Diddy came through and orchestrated a massive party for his son. The party took place at the famous Mandrake Restaurant in Miami, in which Diddy was accompanied by his girlfriend Breah Hicks, Desiigner, Ty Dolla $ign, and others.
As for the gold jet ski, it did not take long for Christian to try it out. On Tuesday, he posted a picture of himself on the vehicle in the waters off the coast of Miami. In the photo, Combs stares off into the distance, as the sun sets in the background. What exactly he was thinking about we can’t be sure, but perhaps it was how he needed to stay still for this epic picture.
I support the idea that if you have the money for a lavish birthday gift, spend it, as long as you don’t go broke. That’s exactly what Diddy did, and he kept it in the family. Brilliant.
NBC and Dick Clark Productions announced the nominees for the 56 categories for the annual Billboard Music Awards. Cardi B, who recently won a Grammy for Best Rap Album, had more nominations than any other artist at 21. And just as astonishingly, Ms. B was nominated twice for Top 100 Song, Top Artist, and Top Collaboration. For those that were curious, the record for most nominations in a single year is held by The Chainsmokers and Drake, who were both nominated for 22 categories in last year’s awards.
Drake and Post Malone have the second most nominations, at 17 a piece and Travis Scott has third, with 12.
Given how much rap music dominated the charts this past year, it is no surprise that Top Album is filled with high selling rap albums. Cardi B’s ‘Invasion of Privacy’, Drake’s ‘Scorpion’ and Travis Scott’s ‘Astroworld’ are all in the running. The same trend runs true for Top 100 song which nominations of Cardi’s ‘I Like it’, Juice WRLD’s ‘Lucid Dreams’, Post Malone’s ‘Better Now’ and Scott’s ‘SICKO MODE’.
The most treasured category is Top Artist, and Cardi B will have some tough competition. Drake, Post Malone, Ariana Grande, and Travis Scott are all looking to take home the event’s biggest prize.
Personally, I’d like to see Cardi B sweep these categories. She had an unbelievable year in 2018 and winning these awards would be the icing on the already huge cake.
The final two singles from Vampire Weekend were released earlier today. The band released “This Life” and “Unbearably White” as the final batch of songs for the ramp up to their fourth studio album Father Of The Bride.
The band’s album is due out on May 3 and marks the first project since 2013. The group has released two music videos for their prior singles “Harmony Hall” and “Sunflower,” so it would be safe to assume that there will be one more visual out of this batch.

A new ScHoolboy Q track was released briefly on Spotify before being pulled titled “CHopstix.” ScHoolboy played a small bit of the track during his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon a few weeks ago, but not the whole song. The single from ScHoolboy’s new album also features Travis Scott, who handles the chorus on this one.
This release is the second single for the LA rapper’s album rollout and the follow up to “Numb Numb Juice.” This one is way more laid back than the aforementioned track, with a little spacier sounding production. It’s a smooth track all the way through, I just wish ScHoolboy let Travis do something more than just the hook.
The track release is a bit of surprise considering ScHoolboy had said earlier in the week, he didn’t want to release new music as he mourns the loss of fellow rapper and friend Nipsey Hussle. The track must have been a scheduled release on Spotify and wasn’t pulled down in time. It’s no longer available on Spotify, but it is on the YouTube link above.

Anderon .Paak dropped a new video for his single “Make It Better” off his upcoming album Ventura. .Paak has kept himself busy lately, with this new project slated just five months after his previous release. This new track is a bit of a throwback to Malibu era .Paak; way more rhythmic and soulful than some stuff that’s been on previous records.
.Paak is at his best when he’s making songs that are light on the ears, not that he isn’t capable of making a good rap song, it’s just a more refreshing vibe to have tracks like this one. This new single sounds like it could easily be a Bruno Mars song, but .Paak is able to put his own spin onto it.
.Paak is slated to play Coachella in the next few weeks, as well as more tour dates that run through the end of June. His album Ventura is set to be released on April 12.
