The appeal of the show has kinda waned for me and a large reason for it is Ish.
The Trust Gap: Joe Budden and Co-Hosts Question the Legitimacy of Dr. Cheyenne Bryant’s New Wellness Center
Marc Lamont Hill: “There's no evidence of funding. These things are very expensive to build.”
Ish: “Would you question funding if it was a white person?”
Marc Lamont Hill: “A white person who lied about their credentials and still put their name Dr. on the building? Yes, absolutely.”
Ish: “You wouldn't question where the funding was coming from from a white person. You wouldn't ever. That shit is insulting.”
Marc Lamont Hill: “I question white people all the time. I questioned Trump University. I question every other venture when a white person does something that looks fraudulent.”
Marc Lamont Hill: “My concern is the hustle because she's proven to be untrustworthy.”
Ish: “What does that have to do with her hustling to gain funding? Has she come out and said, 'I want everybody to donate to my...'?”
Marc Lamont Hill: “If somebody has publicly lied and told an extravagant lie, and is now building something that requires money, even the name itself still reflects the lie, it's going to raise a flag for me.”
Good lord!
Flo Rida signed with a tiny energy drink company whose stock sold for about 50 cents. Nine years later a jury said it owed him $82.6 million.
In 2014, Celsius was losing money and couldn't afford his usual endorsement fee. So instead of a big check, it offered stock: 250,000 shares up front, plus bonus shares if sales hit set targets.
Flo Rida put the drink in his music videos, wore it on a racing suit, and handed out cans from his Hummer outside Miami Heat games.
By April 2021 Celsius stock was at $57.30. Flo Rida demanded the bonus shares. Celsius said the targets were never met and that its explosive growth came after his deal had ended.
So he sued. In the video below, he explains on the stand why he insisted on stock. He'd already missed one fortune: "I missed out on the deal that I wanted that was with Uber. Early on they had offered me rides... And I'm a guy who has a lot of flashy cars, so I didn't really pay attention to it."
This time he wanted it all: "I'm going to need some equity, I'm going to need some royalties, I'm going to need some stock and I'm going to need some upfront money."
On January 18, 2023, a Broward County jury awarded him $82,640,450. An appeals court later upheld that Celsius broke the deal, but ordered the damages recalculated using the stock price at the time of the breach.
So did Flo Rida earn every share by building a brand from nothing, or did a rapper cash in on growth he had nothing to do with?
You really need to be smart to be a cop 😭😂😂😂😂
Does Texas law actually require a Texas-issued DL to drive on Texas roads even if you have a valid license from your home state?
Why does this officer think it does?
New Braunfels, TX - NBPD Officer Beverly Fraga (#218) stopped a driver after following him from a gas station.
The driver presented a valid out-of-state driver’s license.
Fraga repeatedly demanded a Texas-issued DL, treating the presented license as invalid or insufficient, and issued citations for no driver’s license and expired driver’s license.
Sgt. Hobbs later arrived.
Driver argued he was not a Texas resident and did not need a Texas DL. Fraga insisted otherwise while holding the license.
Citations were written. Driver was released.
All citations were dismissed.
Driver requested body and dash cam. Footage reportedly showed Fraga made statements about the stop and reason for ordering the driver out that did not match the video.
Sgt. Hobbs is quoted telling Fraga the driver was “baiting” her.
He filed formal a complaint with NBPD. No reported outcome.
❓Does insisting on a Texas DL from a non-resident with a valid license constitute looking out for public safety or looking out for the city coffers?
❓If you were pulled over and presented a valid out-of-state license, how would you respond to a demand for a Texas DL?
