According to CNN, text messages from the deceased Odin Lloyd, surveillance footage and a trail of blue Bubblicious gum will link former NFL player Aaron Hernandez to the murder of Lloyd’s life in the early morning of Monday, June 17th.
Multiple reports are saying that Texas woman Shannon Richardson, 35, is being charged with two counts of mailing a threatening communication and one count of making a threat against the president of the United States, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Texas said in a news release. It has also been said that she tried to pin charges on her then-husband.
It wouldn’t have even seemed right if Jay-Z didn’t go an extremely creative route in revealing this tracklist (below). Judging from the above image, we still have some information to look for (features, perhaps). From Billboard:
Today (June 22), the track listing from “Magna Carta Holy Grail” was revealed via a scavenger hunt held in Brooklyn, NY. Jay-Z’s publicist Jana Fleishman tweeted pictures of locations where she was waiting with books containing the song titles. A number of fans clever enough to figure out the locales grabbed the copies, and went on to share the info with the world.
But more could be coming from Fleishman. After the promotion ended, she tweeted a photo via Instagram containing the words, “Hey family… Done for right now… Stay tuned for next time. I’m out…”

Not-so-fat Joe and Future were spotted shooting a visual for ‘Love Me Long Time’, which will end up on Joe upcoming The Darkside Vol. 3. Enjoy some snapshots of the videoshoot above.
Looks like there wasn’t any beef after all (or the beef was squashed, I don’t know). Following news of The Weeknd signing to Universal and passing on Drake’s OVO Sound (and the release of ‘Started From The Bottom’ and ‘No New Friends’), rumors were circulating heavy that Aubrey and Abel had parted ways both personally and professionally.
Recently, Drake was seen buying a copy of The Weeknd’s Trilogy while he was pushing Born Sinner with J. Cole…..and now we have the above picture of them partying. Good to see the two back together.
This was, of course, due to another individual sending his empty diss in The-Dream’s direction regarding the sales of IV Play (hint: they weren’t good). A flop is still a flop though, Terius.
UPDATE: Tracklisting included below, courtesy of 2dopeboyz.

Will.i.am is taking legal action against Pharrell Williams over the latter’s new creative brand “i am OTHER” – claiming that he owns the copyright to the phrase “I AM” and that Pharrell’s logo is “confusingly similar,” according to official court documents obtained by Rolling Stone.
In his notice of opposition, Will.i.am argues that Pharrell would be using his “i am OTHER” brand on clothing and other items in a manner similar to the goods that bear his own “I AM” logo. “The registration of the mark . . . is likely to dilute the I AM mark and the WILL.I.AM mark,” the document reads.
Lawyers for Pharrell and “i am OTHER” filed an answer to Will.i.am’s notice of opposition, denying all such claims.
“I am disappointed that Will, a fellow artist, would file a case against me,” Pharrell says in a statement to RS. “I am someone who likes to talk things out and, in fact, I attempted to do just that on many occasions. I am surprised in how this is being handled and I am confident that Will’s trademark claims will ultimately be found to be as meritless and ridiculous as I do.”
Representatives for Will.i.am had not responded to a request for comment at press time.

Winnfield Police Chief Johnny Ray Carpenter, in a news release, said Tony Holden turned himself in Tuesday morning.
He was booked into the city jail on charges of first-degree murder, armed robbery and illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. No bond has been set. It was not immediately known whether Holden had an attorney.
Police say Holden shot the rapper, whose real name is Addarren Ross, last Thursday after an argument broke out during a video game at a friend’s apartment. Ross, of Jonesboro, had been shot twice in the chest.
In the piece published on Monday, writer Liz Jones criticizes just about every aspect of Rihanna — her stage show, her personal life (specifically her relationship with Chris Brown), her fashion choices and her use of social media. The writer made references to a particular Instagram photo of Rihanna smoking two joints while traveling around Europe on her Diamonds tour.
Rihanna isn’t taking Jones’ comments lightly. Early Tuesday morning (June 25), she took to Instagram and posted a lengthy response to Jones’ article, including an unflattering photograph of the writer [above].

The first week sales projections are in for Wale’s The Gifted: according to HDD, he will debut at number 1 on Billboard with approximately 140-160k units. It’s a win for Wale with his first #1 album.
Reese, whose real name is Tavares Taylor, can add a misdemeanor theft charge to his growing rap sheet following his Saturday arrest, the Sun-Times reports.
According to court records, Taylor is accused of giving “false documentation to obtain” a 2006 BMW 750 Li in April; the Sun-Times said both police and prosecutors divulged few other details after Reese was taken into custody.
The 20-year-old appeared in bond court Sunday where his bail was set at $5,000, the Associated Press reports.
Reese was arrested in April on a downstate warrant stemming from a 2012 video that police say shows the rapper beating a woman during a party.
Aaron Hernandez is in police custody after being arrested at his home on Wednesday morning.
The Patriots tight end has been part of an investigation into the death of Odin Lloyd, an associate of Hernandez’s who was found dead near the player’s house. Police believe Lloyd was killed by a gunshot to the head sometime between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. on June 17.
Multiple reports said Hernandez was taken from his North Attleborough home in what appeared to be handcuffs at about 8:45 a.m. Eastern time.
NFL Network showed video of about seven police officials showing up at Hernandez’s door on Wednesday morning. Hernandez answered the door and the police entered. Hernandez had a white shirt pulled over his arms, which were secured behind his back, and he was led into the police cruiser. The arrest was captured on video by the cameras that have been camped out by Hernandez’s house for a week.
Cleveland Browns rookie linebacker Ausar Walcott was arrested Tuesday and charged with attempted murder for allegedly punching a man outside a club in Northern New Jersey.
Authorities told The Bergen Record that Walcott punched Derrick Jones in the head just after The Palace Gentlemen’s Club closed early Sunday morning.
Police say Jones, who is from New York City, is in critical condition. Walcott, 23, is held on $500,000 bail. The Browns said in a statement that the team is “aware of the situation.”
Walcott was signed by the Browns as an undrafted free agent out of Virginia last month. In 45 games for Virginia, he totaled 128 career tackles, 1.5 sacks, four passes defensed and one fumble recovery.
The Florida Dept. of Revenue filed legal docs in connection with Gloria Holloway’s request for child support from Flo — real name Tramar Dillard — for Gloria’s two-year-old son.
As TMZ previously reported, Flo denied knocking up Gloria … and even claimed he took a paternity test that came back negative — but according to the new docs, the court has ALREADY established paternity.
Here’s why … when child support requests come through the state’s Dept. of Revenue — it usually means no one’s disputing it. Translation: Looks like Flo’s the daddy.
Now the state of FL wants Flo to hand over his financials so it can determine how much he owes.
