πŸ‡―πŸ‡² πŸ•Š Reggae Icon Fantan Mojah Dies at 49, Leaving Behind a Legacy of Faith, Fire & Conscious Music

The roots reggae community is mourning the loss of one of its most recognizable voices.

Reggae singer Fantan Mojah, born Owen Lennox Moncrieffe, has died at the age of 49, just weeks before what would have been his 50th birthday. According to multiple Jamaican media reports, the beloved Rastafarian artist passed away Tuesday evening at the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) in Kingston after suffering complications related to a longstanding heart condition.  

A Sudden Turn After Signs of Recovery

Reports indicate that Fantan Mojah’s health declined rapidly over the past week after he returned from the United States. A close associate told Jamaican media that the singer had become increasingly weak and was admitted to hospital. The night before his passing, he reportedly began vomiting blood before succumbing to his illness.  

For many fans, the news is especially heartbreaking because the reggae star had appeared to be making a comeback.

In 2024, Fantan Mojah was hospitalized in Martinique after experiencing severe breathing problems and chest tightness. Reports at the time suggested his heart was functioning at only about 15% capacity, forcing him to cancel several international performances. Despite those frightening health challenges, he later recovered enough to resume touring in Europe, giving supporters hope that he had overcome the worst.  

The Voice Behind Modern Roots Reggae

Fantan Mojah rose to international prominence with his 2005 debut album Hail the King, becoming one of the defining voices of conscious reggae during the 2000s.

His music stood apart for its powerful messages centered on:

  • Faith and Rastafari
  • Perseverance
  • Social justice
  • Love and unity
  • Spiritual growth

Fans around the world embraced songs including:

  • Hail the King
  • Stronger
  • Hungry
  • Rasta Got Soul
  • Nuh Build Great Man (featuring Jah Cure)

His unmistakable voice and unwavering commitment to positive, message-driven reggae earned him a loyal international following across Jamaica, Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean.  

He Was Preparing to Return to the Stage

Adding to the tragedy, Fantan Mojah had reportedly been preparing for a performance at this year’s Reggae Jam Festival in Germany, with his travel documents already approved. Few could have imagined that those plans would instead become part of the final chapter of his life.  

Tributes Begin Pouring In

As news of his passing spread, fans and members of the reggae community began sharing memories, prayers, and tributes celebrating an artist whose music never chased trends but remained rooted in purpose, spirituality, and culture.

While funeral arrangements have not yet been announced, Fantan Mojah leaves behind a lasting musical legacy that will continue to inspire generations of reggae lovers worldwide.  

STING 2023 concert ♥️


πŸ’” Rest in Power, Fantan Mojah πŸ•Š️ One of reggae’s most distinctive and powerful voices has fallen silent.
From “Hungry” to “Thanks & Praise,” Fantan Mojah gave us music filled with faith, strength, and purpose. His unforgettable performances and unmistakable voice touched fans around the world.
His legacy will live on through every lyric and every message.
Rest easy, King. πŸ‡―πŸ‡²πŸ’šπŸ’›❤️

"No More Rain": Angie Stone's Life Cut Short in Tragic Accident



"No More Rain": Angie Stone's Life Cut Short in Tragic Accident

It's with a heavy heart that I'm writing about the passing of Angie Stone. It feels surreal to even type those words. 

For those of us who grew up with her music, or discovered it later, she was more than just a singer. She was a voice, a force, a soul that resonated deep within. Angie Stone wasn't just another R&B artist. She was a pioneer, a true architect of neo-soul. 

Her voice, rich and powerful, carried stories of love, pain, and resilience. She had that raw, authentic sound that felt like a conversation with a close friend. You could hear the life she'd lived in every note. 
Angie Stone Daughter


 I remember the first time I heard "No More Rain (In This Cloud)." It hit me like a ton of bricks. It wasn't just the melody; it was the sheer emotion she poured into every word. It was the kind of song that made you feel seen, understood. And that's what Angie Stone did best. She connected with her audience on a deeply personal level. Beyond her music, she was a symbol of strength and self-acceptance. She was unapologetically herself, and that resonated with so many people. She showed us that it's okay to be vulnerable, to be real. 

 The world has lost a truly remarkable talent. Her music will live on, a testament to her incredible artistry and the impact she had on so many lives. We'll miss her voice, her spirit, and the soulful energy she brought to everything she did. Rest in peace, Angie Stone. Your music will forever be a part of our lives.

The Incident:
Angie Stone died in a car crash early Saturday morning.   
The vehicle she was in, a cargo van, "flipped over and was subsequently hit by a big rig."   


The accident occurred while she and others were traveling from a performance in Montgomery, Alabama, back to Atlanta, Georgia.  The accident occured around 4:00am.   


The information has been confirmed by her daughter, Diamond Stone, and music producer Walter Millsap III.   


While Angie Stone tragically died in the crash, reports indicate that the other passengers in the van survived.   


She had just finished a performance in Montgomery, Alabama and, was scheduled to perform at the halftime show of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association men's Championship basketball game on Saturday.   



Angie Stone's journey in music is a testament to her incredible talent and enduring influence. From her early days as the lead singer and rapper of the pioneering hip-hop trio, The Sequence, she laid the foundation for a career that would redefine soul music.

The 1990s saw her collaborating with giants like Lenny Kravitz and D'Angelo, setting the stage for her groundbreaking solo debut, Black Diamond, in 1999. This album gifted us "No More Rain (In This Cloud)," a track that beautifully showcased her soulful roots by sampling Gladys Knight & The Pips' poignant "Neither One of Us (Wants To Say Goodbye)."

Angie Stone son with Deangelo


Her transition to Clive Davis' J Records in 2001 marked the release of the seminal Mahogany Soul. This album, featuring the unforgettable "Wish I Didn't Miss You," which sampled The O'Jays' timeless "Backstabbers," solidified her status as a neo-soul icon. That track alone has resonated with millions, boasting over 100 million streams on Spotify, a true signature of her enduring appeal.

Angie Stone's discography is rich and diverse, with albums like Stone Love (2004), The Art of Love & War (2007), Unexpected (2009), Dream (2015), and Full Circle (2019) further showcasing her versatility and artistry.

Her collaborative spirit is equally impressive. She's lent her voice and talent to a staggering array of artists, including Alicia Keys, Snoop Dogg, Musiq Soulchild, Eve, Anthony Hamilton, Floetry, Calvin Richardson, Betty Wright, D'Angelo, The Neptunes, Guru, James Ingram, Dave Hollister, Jaheim, Omar, Candy Dulfer, Joe, Stevie Wonder, Groove Armada, Reel People, and Lenny Kravitz, among many others. This extensive list speaks volumes about her respect within the music industry and her ability to connect with artists across genres. Angie Stone's legacy is one of soulful innovation, powerful vocals, and a profound connection with her audience.

YOUNG DOLPH MURDER - COPS WILL NOW RELY ON INFORMANTS! COOKIE STORE OWNERS WANTS THEIR NAMES CLEARED.


Young Dolph Shot And Killed In Memphis At Age 36

Now over a month since the brazen daylight murder of rapper Young Dolph of Memphis, TN. Police are no closer to solving the crime. Sources revealed that federal agents have sat down with their informants who have ties to Memphis and discovered a few new leads as part of the discussions.

Agents are hoping that the new information will lead to a probable cause arrest, even though no primary suspects have come to the surface. There have been rumors and speculations of who may have murdered the rapper, and even talk of it being an inside job at the location where he was shot.

Many online detectives have been gathering pieces of the puzzle. I must admit some do sound somewhat probable, while others are bogus and are clearly for clickbait only to drive people to their YouTube channels.

The owners of the cookie store are making rounds on social platforms of choice, pleading to the public that they had nothing to do with the murder despite the rumors. They stated that their cookies were well-loved by Young Dolph and he was like family to them. The daughter of the owners said that her parents are old and don't need the stress and pressure this situation has brought to them. She claimed that they have been getting disturbing calls day and night, since their personal house number was leaked to the public.

It is unfortunate but most would admit, that some questions stuck out like a swollen thumb:
  1. The lack of bullet holes not visibly seen on the inside of the store from video and photo footage, (if indeed Dolph was shot 50 times) as speculated.
  2. Why are witnesses accounts not consistent on what transpired that day.
  3. Why did Dolph fall outside of the store window, IF he was shot from assailants on the outside.
  4. Who was with the rapper at the time of the shooting? If no one, why not?
This case reminds me of many other murder cases of famous people, that transpired over the years. Welp! what do I know? i'm just a spectator looking at all sides from a logical and commonsensical view. I'm hoping for the sake of his children that this doesn't become another cold case.

Many have said that Young Dolph was not married to his long-time kids mother, despite folks calling her his wife. Matters like these always, usually create confusion, especially when money and assets are involved. I hope something was learned from this tragic incident.

Young Dolph was well-known and a community servant, people loved and admired him for having a big heart. "Young Dolph" who was born Adolph Thorton Jr. — was shot and killed while shopping at Makeda’s Homemade Cookies store in Memphis, footage show two armed assailants. The case continues and any further leads we will be sure to keep you updated.


Dear Online Keyboard Detectives,
We understand that the community lost a great soul in Young Dolph, but it is important to consider the WHAT IF YOU'RE WRONG" factor in this case. It would be sad to see any innocent people succumb to rumors and speculations. Let the police and real investigators do their jobs. Happy 2022!

Boosie's Leg Amputated after shooting?!

'Im all right yall,'  - Boosie via Facebook


Rapper Boosie had to undergo surgeries after getting shot in the leg, but despite rumors or speculations, amputation was not needed. In fact, Boosie, though still in extreme pain is at home nursing his wound; he checked out of a Dallas-area hospital on Tuesday 17th. It is said that he has to be off his legs for at least 6 weeks.

Boosie had to have a few procedures to remove bullet fragments and then had screws inserted to ensure proper healing. It is well known that Boosie suffers from diabetes, and these situations can be serious enough to cause amputations. However; he simply had to do a pre-surgery diet to ensure he would be fine while under anesthesia. It is said Boosie took 24 hours to decide if he even wanted the procedures done.

The shooting took place this past weekend in Dallas, just days after his friend, Mo3, was killed there last week in a fatal shooting. Police said in a report that officers responded to an armed encounter around 2:07 p.m. Saturday near Big T Plaza in Dallas. Officers were then reportedly called to Parkland Memorial Hospital.


 

πŸ–Š 
Is it the wild wild west? 
I don't know what is going on in Texas but they need to fix it fast. Bullets seem to be flying everywhere and in the middle of the day. Innocent people are being hit in the middle of all the mess. This is truly sad and I pray these rappers, gang members, and the like start to value their lives and the lives of others.

As far as Boosie being unsure about his surgeries; I had to laugh to myself because if you know his character and the way he speaks I'm sure the Doctors and nurses had to reassure him over and over that he would make it out alive! 

GET WELL SOON BOOSIE. πŸ˜₯πŸ™

Soul Divas Jill Scott and Erykah Badu - Served Virtual Food!



Divas Jill Scott and Erykah Badu battled it out on Instagram Live Saturday night – and Michelle Obama was here for it. So were Spike Lee and Janet Jackson, among other well-known celebrities.

The so-called battles have become incredibly popular in recent days as performers and their fans struggle to adapt to life in lockdown, courtesy of the coronavirus pandemic. Most fans said this wasn’t a battle, just two queens celebrating each other.

Saturday night's battle was the first between two female performers. Both shared some of their best-known hits with grateful fans.

"Love your sister," Scott wrote. "Love your brother. Recognize and celebrate each other. There's room in the inn."

Obama, who describes herself as "hugger-in-chief" in her Twitter bio, was an active participant in the performance, posting multiple comments. She requested Badu's "Green Eyes" and even tagged her famous hubby.

Rapper Timbaland also liked what he saw, posting "yessssssssssss" at one point during the broadcast, which peaked at more than 700,000 live viewers.
Others who've taken part in COVID-19 Instagram battles include RZA, Babyface and DJ Premier.
Badu, on Twitter, called the battle "adorable and funny."

"We sooooo appreciate it," she wrote. "We been in this game a long time. Many a baby was created up out of our music."

NBA YoungBoy STD RUMOR!


So rapper NBA YoungBoy had the Internet in a frenzy when a snippet of an unreleased song titled “Truth About Herpes surfaced on the web, alleging that his baby’s mother gave him herpes. 

I am not sure why he or anyone would reveal such personal info about their health, but these days people do anything for attention.
YoungBoy stated in a particular verse:-
“That ain’t the truth when I hear what you saying | I got herpes and I gave it to Ni   To tell the truth that chick gave it to me”  
also in his song "Can't Be Saved" YB stated in a verse:
 “Herpes in my blood and that shit got me cryin’ |  I really got feelings, you see without science,” 
The 20-year-old rapper from Baton Rouge decided to reveal that he does have the sexually transmitted disease and the Internet is not letting him forget it. No matter what the topic may be, you can guarantee a mention of the STD under any of his posts. 

Since YB claimed he got the infection from ex-girlfriend/baby mama Jania Jackson, it didn’t take long for her to respond. 

“I didn’t give NOBODY SHIT,”
 “This lying shit getting OUT OF HAND and I’m sick of it! I said it out of love playing along but nah f*ck that it was all a lie. Once I drop these papers stop talking to me bye.”

 



 


🎀 This young couple was so in love just the other day but now they can't seem to stand the dirt each other walks on.
Jania also claimed that since all of this started he is not claiming her son. SMH! Children having children a vicious cycle and another child growing up in a broken home with public drama.
I always feel bad for the babies caught up in the mess...

πŸ’Ÿ Rihanna - A Billion Reasons To Smile!

πŸ’žπŸ’“πŸ˜πŸ’žπŸ’“
The 31 year old Bajan sensation Rihanna "Riri" Fenty is in love and we couldn't be more happy for her.
In a recent interview Riri admitted to being in an exclusive relationship for over (2) two years. We did some digging; and she's been spotted a few times getting cozy with a tall, handsome, dark-haired guy, clearly of Middle Eastern descent. Let's admit she looks happy as hell.

His name is Hassan Jameel, a Saudi Arabian billionaire businessman who serves as the deputy president and Vice Chairman of the family business Abdul Latif Jameel, which owns Toyota distribution rights in Saudi Arabia. He is also the owner of a pro soccer league.

In a recent interview she stated:

"Yeah, I'm dating," "I'm actually in an exclusive relationship for quite some time, and it's going really well, so I'm happy." - Rihanna, Vogue Interview
Although their cultures are worlds apart, they seem to have found a common interest. As we know most middle eastern traditions are very strict from their dress codes, religion (Islam) to who they wed!

We are not sure what Jameel's situation is but hopefully Rihanna will take her time and find out if this is what she really wants, before she gets in too deep.


RELATIONSHIP HISTORY:


Drake (2010 - 2016)
Chris Brown (2007 - 2013)
Ryan Phillippe (2011 - 2012)
Matt Kemp (2010)
Josh Hartnett (2007 - 2008)
Negus Sealy (2001 - 2003)


So we all know Rihanna has dated quite a few famous guys in the past. We can't forget her toxic relationship with R&B singer Chris Brown, who left her physically and emotionally scarred.
It is said that Chris still loves Ri and upon hearing of her relationship with Jameel left him heartbroken. πŸ’”

πŸ–Š MY VIEW:
I think CB should let it go... some things you can never come back from. Even if Rihanna wanted to give Chris another chance; she not only knows it would be risking her life but, many folks that love her would be highly disappointed. I think she still cares a lot for CB, and may even still love him, but he blew his chances the first time.
Anywhoo, we wish all of them the best and will of course continue to keep you updated. πŸ‘πŸ½

Full Story! KODAK BLACK SENTENCED...! A BLESSING IN DISGUISE?


We all have seen/heard more negative reports concerning KODAK BLACK.  His outspoken nature has created "beef" between he and fellow rappers such as; Young MA, Lil Wayne, his daughter), and 808 Mafia to name a few. 

In 2017 he made controversial comments regarding actress Keke Palmer, he stated in an interview that actress Keke Palmer was "straight", but that he "don't really like Black girls like that". Some Twitter users responded negatively, provoking Kodak Black to delete both his Instagram and Twitter accounts. Kodak Black also stated that light-skinned women are easier to break down, black women are "too gutter", and that he does not like his own skin complexion.

Only 22 years old, unlike many rappers Kodak has lived much of what he raps about; growing up in the projects and raised by a single mother can all be attributed to why Kodak is who he is. Despite all the negative if you really met Kodak and listen to his
interviews you would see that a highly intuitive, articulate, compassionate young man is buried underneath it all. 
His need to respond to every situation and accusation will require more growth and maturity on his behalf. 
This may be a blessing in disguise... Kodak was clearly on a path to destruction, and as we know it only leads one or two places.

He is certainly not new to the law; from 2016 he was battling charges and violations. He stated on the Breakfast Club in 2018, that he was paying $4,200 a month in child support, for his son.
2019 has not been a good year for Kodak; he seemed to be battling many demons. Apart from legal problems creating legal fees; which i'm sure affected his income. As of 2019 according to "Celebrity Net Worth Reporter" his net worth stands at $750,000. 

As if it couldn't get any worse; in May, Kodak was labeled the most unfavorable (hated) rapper after he was caught on his Instagram live, making what many called disrespectful and insensitive comments about the late rapper Nipsey Hustle's Girlfriend Lauren London.


Since then he was blackballed by fellow rappers and fans; some fans and associated of Nipsey even called for his death. Kodak not giving a πŸ’©πŸ’© what others think, responded thru diss track Expeditiously against rapper T.I and The Game who scrutinized him for his comments.


It seems the world was on his shoulders and against him. It makes me wonder why someone so successful would risk it all... making the decisions as if he was a regular guy on the street.


Today Rapper  Bill K. Kapri, better known by his stage name Kodak Black was sentenced in a Miami courtroom, to more than 3 years (46 months) in prison after pleading guilty to weapons charges. 

The 22-year-old Florida rapper admitted in August this year, that he falsified information on federal forms to buy four (4) firearms from a Miami-area gun shop. He was able to obtain three of the weapons: a 9mm handgun, .380-caliber handgun and a semi-automatic Mini Draco weapon. 

U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno could have sentenced Black to the maximum of 10 years, and prosecutors wanted 8 years in part because Kodak allegedly was involved in a jail fight that injured a Corrections Officer.

“I think it’s time for us to give some tough love in this case,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Bruce Brown. “I just don’t see how and when he’s taken these things seriously.”
KODAK BLACK
Moreno noted that Black has given money anonymously to charitable causes and could continue to do so behind bars.



“My suggestion would be you continue to be generous,” the judge said.

Black was arrested as he arrived at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida on May 11th, 2019. He was on his way to perform his set, scheduled for 8:45 p.m., at Rolling Loud later that night. The arrest was made by local police, ATF agents, and U.S. Marshals.
Kodak also faces drug, weapons and sexual assault charges in other states that remain pending. He has had several previous arrests. Kodak faces up to 30 years if found guilty on these other charges.


Black is a Florida native who was born to Haitian-American parents as Dieuson Octave and who now goes by the legal name of Bill Kapri stage name "Kodak Black"

A message posted on Kodak's Instagram page says:

Fans expressed their feeling on the news:
