Rapper “YFN Lucci” is wanted for questioning in the shooting death of 28-year-old James Adams and the injury of another man in southeast Atlanta. According to authorities, two other suspects – 23-year-old Ra’von Boyd and 17-year-old Leroy Pitts – have already been arrested. The Atlanta rapper, whose real name is Rayshawn Bennett, rose to fame in 2017 with his hit song “Everyday We Lit.” He has also stayed in the tabloids due to his high profile relationship with legendary “Cash Money” rapper Lil Wayne’s daughter, Reginae Carter. Reginae is already showing signs that she will not be riding with Lucci if he goes to the ‘Big House.’ The 22-year-old posted a cryptic message on her Instagram page, leaving folks to believe that she is officially over the on- and off-again relationship. “A lot of females are comfortable with being a sample … it’s sad,” she wrote. “Samples are displayed everywhere and are very easy to get … don’t be the sample .. be the actual product. It’s worth way more & harder to get. Don’t let this go over your head.” Lucci could face multiple charges, including felony murder, aggravated assault, participation in criminal street gang activity, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony if found to be involved. Atlanta PD is offering $5,000 for anyone who may know of his whereabouts.

After months of speculation, actor Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey have finally made it official. Well, Instagram official, that is. Jordan shared a picture on Instagram of himself and Harvey after the two were seen getting off of a private jet together. “Good ol Black love! That’s what I’m talkin’ bout!!” Jordan wrote. Harvey, who is the daughter of legendary comedian and talk show host Steve Harvey, has become more famous for her high-profile relationships than her modeling career over the past few years. She has been linked to rapper Future, singer Trey Songz, P. Diddy and his son Justin. No, that is not a typo. It’s no denying that Jordan and Harvey make a beautiful couple, but only time will tell how long this will last. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Michael B. Jordan (@michaelbjordan)

According to reports, Pump was on a flight from Fort Lauderdale to L.A. when Pump removed his mask. When he was approached by the flight crew to put his mask back on, Pump started deliberately coughing and sneezing and became non-compliant.
