Wyclef Jean wants to be president of Haiti (why not?)
Wyclef Jean isn’t content with just being a founding member of the legendary music group, The Fugees. Now he wants to be president of Haiti too.
What do you mean by ‘is he qualified?’ He was born in Haiti. What more qualifications does he need?
Didn’t Barack Obama already prove that you don’t need to be qualified to be president of the United States?
Can you blame Wyclef for setting his sights ridiculously high? What narcissist wouldn’t strive to be president of a small island nation that he rarely visits?
Presidents don’t have to reside in the country that they want to rule over. Especially if the president is a celebrity.
You can’t expect Wyclef to actually live in Haiti, what with the presidential palace lying in ruins and all.
Wyclef will most likely win the election, because CNN says he’s qualified.
Once he’s elected, he’ll pop over there every once in a while to make music videos or to take photo ops with orphaned Haitian children.
But Wyclef will spend most of his time stateside doing what he does best: fundraising and collecting cash that no one knows what he’s doing with.
Oh, and he’ll eventually rebuild that demolished presidential palace — over in Miami, of course.
Nicki Minaj is Live On Ustream, and she is certifiably crazy
So rap loon Nicki Minaj, aka Roman Zolanski, is live on Ustream right now and it’s painful to watch because the girl is clearly bipolar. I am not the least bit entertained by her antics at all. If this is the direction that Hip Hop is going in, I’ll get off at the next stop.
Obama Finally Does Something Good for Black People….
According to CNN, U.S. president Barack Obama earlier today signed a bill reducing the penalties for possession of crack cocaine.
This bill is important because the old law unfairly targeted blacks and Hispanics with harsh punishment, while users who snorted powder cocaine recreationally usually got off with a slap on the wrist.
The Fair Sentencing Act repeals a five-year mandatory sentence for first time offenders, and for repeat offenders with less than 28 grams of crack cocaine. The old law set the mandatory sentence for conviction at five grams.
African-Americans have been far more likely than whites and Hispanics to be convicted for — and receive the harsher penalties associated with — possession of crack cocaine, according to government statistics. White and Hispanic defendants are more frequently charged with possession of powder cocaine.
The now-defunct measure had been in place for 25 years. The House passed the new law through a bipartisan voice vote last week, following approval by the Senate in March. Read More…
T.I. Unhappy With Wedding Guests; Orders Wedding Pics Taken Down
As I told you yesterday, rapper T.I. is very unhappy with invited wedding guests who tweeted unauthorized pictures to followers on Twitter.com.
As you know, T.I., real name Clifford Harris Jr., wed his longtime girlfriend Tameka “Tiny” Cottle on Saturday in Miami Beach.
But T.I. and Tiny’s special day was marred by thoughtless and inconsiderate guests who rushed to be the first to prove that they were there by uploading dark, blurry photos of the royal couple to the Twitter.com social network community.
T.I. lashed out at media sites, blogs, employees and friends and demanded that the the wedding pics be taken down. So far employees Young Dro and rapper Nelly have complied and removed the Twitpics. But other unauthorized pics from the wedding are still online.
It should noted that R&B diva Monica, who had earlier in the month tweeted that she would be uploading pics from the wedding, did not do so out of respect for T.I. and Tiny.
