Killaz Battle League: Math Hoffa Vs. T-Rex (Rematch)
Courtesy of Vlad TV:
The main battle for the first ever Killaz Battle League event was a highly anticipated rematch between Math Hoffa and T-Rex, and the actual battle lived up to the hype surrounding it in every way. It was a one round battle, but a classic regardless. Both Math and Rex came fully prepared with some serious bars and the energy from the crowd only made their lyrical rumble more entertaining. Both of their entourages were highly involved in their match, as Bonnie Godiva got in Rex’s face after he called her out, and K-Shine eagerly stepped up with his renown “Get that n*gga Rex!” shout and even challenged Math to battle after the event had concluded.

Saudi Arabian Prince Kidnaps, Rapes & Kills Girl Before Dumping Her Body In The Street
There are actually more detailed pictures of the dead woman in the street (supposedly), but you’ll have to find those on your own. From Naija:
A Saudi Arabian prince has been accused of kidnapping, raping a girl and dumping her body in the streets.
Although police in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia have confirmed that a girl was indeed raped and murdered by a Saudi prince, the prince has not yet been charged, reports say.
Identified as Prince Khalid bin Sa’ad bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud, he was said to have met the girl at a shopping mall and she turned him down.
Witnesses in Samer, a Jeddah suburb told news agents that after they saw the girl’s body which was wrapped up in a blanket being dropped out of a car on May 30, they decided to call the police. When police arrived, they realised the girl had died.
Since the incident became news, some other witnesses have also come out to say that they saw the prince’s body guards put the girl into the car.
The prince could not escape the crime either because apart from eye witnesses report, police surveillance system had captured the plate number for the car and identified it as belonging to a Saudi prince.
According to reports, the police said the girl was then kidnapped by a friend of the prince’s and taken to a place where she was harassed. When she tried to get away, that’s when they raped and killed the woman.
