Can I cry in front of the world? Why am I crying?”</p> <p>The Atlanta native went on to question the “wicked place” that is the world, one in which “kids are dying before they can live in the streets.”</p> <p>“Our homes are filled with hate because it’s all around us,” Joc wrote. “Destruction is prevalent. Drugs are running rampant in our community. So many are confused. Ascension is a necessity. Let it out in front of the world. Do you ever feel like just letting it all out? Some will laugh and that’s expected. Some will tap in to see if I’m ok and that’s appreciated. I begging for mercy on all of us no soul unaccounted for. I Love You.”</p> <p>Earlier this year, Joc shut down claims that he’s a one-hit wonder during an appearance on the<em> Hollywood Groupchat </em><a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/@bymehganjames/videos" rel="noopener">podcast</a>.</p> <p>Joc told the Shade Room that, even though he considered the remark to be “below the belt,” he ultimately decided to answer the question in an effort to “break it down” for her. The “It’s Goin’ Down” rapper admitted he isn’t a stranger to receiving shade. </p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>“It’s just y’all got a chance to see it from somebody y’all may not be as familiar with, so it’s like, ‘Oh, the nerve,’” he said. “And that’s how I felt too.”</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /></div> <p><br /> <br /><a href="https://www.complex.com/music/yung-joc-breaks-down-in-emotiona-instagram-video">Source link </a></p> <p> <a rel="follow" href="http://megatheme.ir/" title="قالب وردپرس">قالب وردپرس</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://freshestfm.com/yung-joc-breaks-down-in-emotional-ig-clip-can-i-cry-in-front-of-the-world/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Suspect Arrested After Shooting at Atlanta Medical Facility Leaves 1 Dead, 4 Wounded</title> <link>https://freshestfm.com/suspect-arrested-after-shooting-at-atlanta-medical-facility-leaves-1-dead-4-wounded/</link> <comments>https://freshestfm.com/suspect-arrested-after-shooting-at-atlanta-medical-facility-leaves-1-dead-4-wounded/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[SOURCE]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 04 May 2023 02:49:06 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[arrests]]></category> <category><![CDATA[atlanta]]></category> <category><![CDATA[crime]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-notadsafe]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-notadsafe-noads]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-politics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-politics-social]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[gun-violence]]></category> <category><![CDATA[guns]]></category> <category><![CDATA[hospital]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[shooting]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://freshestfm.com/suspect-arrested-after-shooting-at-atlanta-medical-facility-leaves-1-dead-4-wounded/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Patterson was reportedly visiting the facility with his mother, who had an appointment, and wasn’t harmed in the shooting.

Grady Memorial Hospital Chief Medical Officer Robert Jansen confirmed the four victims—all of whom are women, ages 25, 39, 56 and 71—sustained gunshot wounds.

I don’t like ‘SoundCloud rapper.’ I don’t like anything that puts music in a box or even an artist. I’m going to keep saying this shit, bro,” the 21-year-old emphasized.</p> <p>The Atlanta MC explained his belief in not judging others’ journeys if we all have the same resources. “In 2023, you can’t say that somebody is lesser than anything, because we’ve all got the same phones, the same internet. So the n***a that’s looking at Drake—or whoever the fuck, not even to use a n***a name—they’re also looking at the n***a who got 60 followers or the n***a who got 10,000 followers. Because everybody got the same phone.” </p> <p>He continued, “So it’s honestly just a matter of: Is a n***a playing your song or not? Do people actually know you outside of that fucking phone? And that’s what’s going to determine if you exist in this world or not. It’s not a level to it. There’s no mainstream or underground. It is just: Do you exist or not? In the real world, though, not on the phone.” </p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>Regardless of technology, Destroy thinks the underground label “never made sense” in hip-hop.</p> <p>“I feel like people just try to dumb people down, bro. And honestly, the underground n***a probably way harder than the biggest n***a on Earth,” he said. “Y’all just keep calling him underground. Now this n***a can’t get no damn money.”</p> <p>Destroy Lonely is one of the latest signees to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/tag/playboi_carti" rel="noopener">Playboi Carti’s</a> Opium record label. High-energy tracks such as “NOSTYLIST” and “Bane” brought him buzz on the rise to becoming a sensation.</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>His new album <em>If Looks Could Kill </em>is slated to arrive on May 5. <a href="http://www.complex.com/music/a/eric-skelton/destroy-lonely-interview-if-looks-could-kill" target="_self" rel="noopener">Read the full Complex interview here</a>.</p> </div> <p><br /> <br /><a href="https://www.complex.com/music/destroy-lonely-despises-term-underground-rap">Source link </a></p> <p> <a rel="follow" href="http://megatheme.ir/" title="قالب وردپرس">قالب وردپرس</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://freshestfm.com/destroy-lonely-on-why-he-despises-the-term-underground-rap/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Atlanta Man Shot and Killed After He Entered Wrong Car at Gas Station</title> <link>https://freshestfm.com/atlanta-man-shot-and-killed-after-he-entered-wrong-car-at-gas-station/</link> <comments>https://freshestfm.com/atlanta-man-shot-and-killed-after-he-entered-wrong-car-at-gas-station/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[SOURCE]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 22 Apr 2023 16:06:21 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[atlanta]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cars]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-politics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-politics-social]]></category> <category><![CDATA[driving]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[gun-violence]]></category> <category><![CDATA[guns]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[shooting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tier-one]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://freshestfm.com/atlanta-man-shot-and-killed-after-he-entered-wrong-car-at-gas-station/</guid> <description><![CDATA[An Atlanta man was shot and killed after he mistakenly entered the wrong car at a local gas station.

Daniels shot Dunnaville four times. </p> <p>Travon’s mother told the news station, “He was at the wrong car. He saw my son, coming towards him. He was parked like this. So you see him coming. He could have locked his doors, or he could have said may I help you or something? He did nothing but shoot. Just because people make mistakes and open up somebody’s door, they don’t have to shoot them.”</p> <p>The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office released the below statement regarding Travon’s death. </p> <p>“Our office has an ongoing investigation regarding the matter,” the statement read. “If a decision is made to seek a felony indictment, this office will prosecute it in Superior Court.

She was pronounced dead at the scene. “Homicide investigators responded to the scene and are working to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident,” police said in the statement. “The investigation continues.”</p> <p>Koko da Doll was one of four Black trans sex workers featured in the D. Smith-directed <em>Kokomo City</em>. The documentary was critically acclaimed upon its release at January’s Sundance Film Festival. Earlier this year, Complex praised the film in its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/a/tracewilliamcowen/sundance-film-festival-2023" rel="noopener">coverage</a> of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/a/tracewilliamcowen/sundance-film-festival-2023-movies" rel="noopener">Sundance</a>.</p> <p>“On Tuesday night, Rasheeda Williams was shot and killed in Atlanta. Rasheeda, aka Koko Da Doll, was the latest victim of violence against Black transgender women,” D. Smith told <em>Variety</em> in a statement. “I created <em>Kokomo City</em> because I wanted to show the fun, humanized, natural side of Black trans women. I wanted to create images that didn’t show the trauma or the statistics of murder of Transgender lives. I wanted to create something fresh and inspiring. I did that. We did that! But here we are again. It’s extremely difficult to process Koko’s passing, but as a team we are more encouraged now than ever to inspire the world with her story. To show how beautiful and full of life she was. She will inspire generations to come and will never be forgotten.”</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>The Sundance Film Festival shared a tribute to Williams on Twitter on Friday, which you can read below.</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>“We are saddened to hear about the death of Rasheeda Williams aka Koko Da Doll,” the tweet says. “We were honored to have her at the festival this year with Kokomo City, where she reminded Black trans women, ‘We can do anything, we can be whatever we want to be.’ It is a tragic loss.”</p> </div> <p><br /> <br /><a href="https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/rasheeda-williams-koko-da-doll-fatally-shot-atlanta-kokomo-city-star">Source link </a></p> <p> <a rel="follow" href="http://megatheme.ir/" title="قالب وردپرس">قالب وردپرس</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://freshestfm.com/rasheeda-williams-fatally-shot-trans-star-of-kokomo-city-doc-was-35/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Lawyer Says Man Who Died in Atlanta Jail Was ‘Eaten Alive by Insects’</title> <link>https://freshestfm.com/lawyer-says-man-who-died-in-atlanta-jail-was-eaten-alive-by-insects/</link> <comments>https://freshestfm.com/lawyer-says-man-who-died-in-atlanta-jail-was-eaten-alive-by-insects/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[SOURCE]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 14 Apr 2023 17:48:09 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[atlanta]]></category> <category><![CDATA[court]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-politics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-politics-social]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[georgia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[jail]]></category> <category><![CDATA[lawyer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[police]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tier-one]]></category> <category><![CDATA[videos]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://freshestfm.com/lawyer-says-man-who-died-in-atlanta-jail-was-eaten-alive-by-insects/</guid> <description><![CDATA[The family of a 35-year-old man is seeking answers after he was found dead in an Atlanta jail, with a lawyer saying he was “eaten alive by insects and bed bugs.” Speaking with USA Today, Georgia lawyer Michael D.

Earlier that year, Thompson—who was mentally ill—had been arrested in connection with a misdemeanor simple battery case. According to the coroner, Thompson’s body was covered in bugs; additionally, the cell itself had a “severe” infestation. The cause of death was “undetermined,” the report noted.</p> <p>Complex has reached out to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office, and Harper for comment. This story may be updated.</p> <p>Meanwhile, a Fulton County Sheriff’s Office has shared <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/atlanta/sheriff-responds-lawsuit-claiming-inmate-eaten-alive-by-bed-bugs-inside-fulton-county-jail/EAVSHPQT3VBVZFPZ46Y26SUB7U/" rel="noopener">an extended statement</a> with local outlet WSB-TV. In it, a rep claimed that a “full investigation” was ordered following Thompson’s death. The rep further claimed the launching of this investigation was followed by “immediate action,” including spending money on bed bug and lice infestation response measures.</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>As for the possibility of criminal charges, that was also addressed in the rep’s statement, as follows: “The ongoing investigation is examining details regarding the medical care provided and ultimately will determine whether any criminal charges are warranted in this case.”</p> <p>Both the controversy surrounding Thompson’s death and the larger criticism surrounding jail conditions in Fulton County have continued to grow in recent days, with many taking to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office social media presences to call for greater attention on the case.

It just needs to be the right way to do it. I’m all about, like, now it’s like time is precious.

You only get so much.”</p> <p>Elaborating further, Glover said he’s “not interested” in taking on projects simply for the money.</p> <p>“I would much rather spend time with people that I enjoy,” he said. “So it just has to be the right thing, which I think it could be. I mean, like, Lando is definitely somebody I like to hang out with. We’re talking about it.

As for the former, Tuesday’s piece notes that Glover has been “mentoring” <a target="_blank" href="http://complex.com/tag/barack-obama" rel="noopener">Barack</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://complex.com/tag/michelle-obama" rel="noopener">Michelle Obama</a>’s oldest daughter, whose involvement in the recently launched <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/tag/swarm" rel="noopener"><em>Swarm</em> series</a> spurred numerous headlines.</p> <p>“The first thing we did was talk about the fact that she will only get to do this once,” Glover told Mark Anthony Green of his work with Malia. “You’re Obama’s daughter<em>.</em> So if you make a bad film, it will follow you around.”</p> <p>Speaking on how the process behind Malia’s short film is indicative of the larger approach Gilga is aiming for with all of its projects, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/donald-glover-behind-the-scenes-atlanta-writers-room-seasons-3-4" rel="noopener">Fam Udeorji</a>—a partner at the company and a familiar name for longtime followers of Glover’s many creative avenues—pointed to the importance of allowing the time and space for her to “make what she wanted.”</p> <figure class="image"> <div class="fimage-container"></div><figcaption>Image via Fanny Latour-Lambert/GQ</figcaption></figure> <p>Tucked nicely into the <em>GQ</em> interview are some illuminating details on how actor <a target="_blank" href="http://complex.com/tag/liam-neeson" rel="noopener">Liam Neeson</a> wound up making a self-referential cameo in <em>Atlanta</em>’s third season. As fans will recall, Neeson appeared as himself in an episode titled “New Jazz,” meeting <a target="_blank" href="http://complex.com/tag/brian-tyree-henry" rel="noopener">Brian Tyree Henry</a>’s character Paper Boi at the so-called “Cancel Club” in Amsterdam.</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>Notably, the moment saw Neeson, as Neeson, directly referencing the 2019 controversy spurred by comments he made to the <em>Independent</em>—<a target="_blank" href="https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/liam-neeson-rape-black-man-attack-cosh-cold-pursuit-sexual-assault-interview-a8760866.html" rel="noopener">namely his revealing of</a> having felt he wanted to get revenge by killing a Black man after a woman the actor knew told him she had been raped by a Black person.</p> <p>As Glover has disclosed, the subsequent <em>Atlanta</em> exploration of these comments came very close to never happening after the actor sent him an email wishing him “best of luck” but declining to take on the role. Ultimately, Glover said, it was <a target="_blank" href="http://complex.com/tag/jordan-peele" rel="noopener">Jordan Peele</a> who was able to reach out and change Neeson’s mind.</p> <p>According to Glover, Neeson had previously told him that Peele was one of several people he had spoken to after the initial controversy. Remembering this after Neeson originally turned down the <em>Atlanta</em> cameo, Glover reached out to Peele, who “thought [the <em>Atlanta</em> idea] was hilarious” and thus reached out to Neeson.</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>“But what was so funny is, like, I forgot to hit Jordan back,” Glover recalled. “I was so excited about Liam doing it. So Jordan hit a friend of mine, and was like, ‘Am I on a prank show where Donald got me to forgive Liam Neeson? Was this a joke…on <em>me</em>?’ ”</p> <figure class="image"> <div class="fimage-container"><img decoding="async" class="article__rte-img" src="//www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 135 76"%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="Donald Glover on cover of GQ magazine" loading="lazy" height="480" width="640" /></div><figcaption>Image via Fanny Latour-Lambert/GQ</figcaption></figure> <p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.gq.com/story/donald-glover-global-creativity-awards-cover-2023" rel="noopener">Read the full interview over at <em>GQ</em></a>.</p> <p>Donald Glover and Janine Nabers’ <em>Swarm</em>, starring <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/a/karla-rodriguez/dominique-fishback-swarm-interview" rel="noopener">Dominique Fishback</a>, is now available on Prime Video.
