rick. On Tuesday, July 24, Rick Ross appeared on Power 105.1 FM’s Breakfast Club to talk about his upcoming show ‘Signed”. He makes a controversial statement about why he doesn’t sign female rappers. “You know, I never did it because I always thought, like, I would end up f–king the female rapper and f–king the business up,” he said. Ross went on to explain that signing a female rapper would be a bad business move. “I’m so focused on my business. I gotta be honest with you,” the rapper and producer said. You know, she’s looking good. I’m spending so much money on her photo shoots. I gotta f**k her a couple times.” It would be easy to pass off his comments as a joke, but the interview is just another unfortunate example of a mentality that views women as sexual objects before anything else and therefore ultimately hurts their careers, keeping women out of the male-dominated hip-hop world because they are never seen as equals.   Bear in mind, this is the same man who in 20...

Leandro Depetris came through at Newell's at the same time as the brilliant Barcelona forward, but their careers took very different directions. He was always the smallest player on the pitch. Lacking in stature and strength, he was not one for a physical battle. But with the ball at his feet. Leandro Depetris soon made it clear to anyone watching that he was not only a good player, but one destined for greatness. Or so it seemed. Blessed with a wonderful left foot, the youngster would often beat three or four players at will. That was his game - and it all came so naturally on the pitch at the age of 10, 11 and 12. Newell's was a hotbed for future talents at that time and it was not only friends and family that would watch the youngsters playing seven-a-side games on the Malvinas pitches in the late 1990s. Locals came along to see what all the fuss was about, along with coaches and businessmen. The ground was often full to the brink. In that generation, in the team...

The Brazilian forward continues to be heavily linked with a summer move away from Camp Nou and has now been seen tangling with colleague Nelson Semedo Neymar has been caught on camera tangling with Barcelona team-mate Nelson Semedo in a heated training ground bust-up as speculation regarding his future intensifies. Footage captured by Splash News shows the Brazilian forward becoming involved in an angry dispute with his Portuguese colleague. The incident occurs at Barca’s American training camp in Miami, with Neymar seen scuffling with recent signing from Benfica Semedo. The pair are forced apart, with Javier Mascherano quickly on the scene. Semedo walks away from the fiery flashpoint, but Neymar refuses to let the issue lie. Clearly flustered, the Samba star shouts over to Barca’s £26.8 million summer signing from Benfica as the rest of Ernesto Valverde’s squad watch on. He then looks to head back in the direction of Semedo before being restrained by Sergi...

Mbappe vs Dortmund  The football world is awash with gossip! Transfer Talk is monitoring the whispers ahead of all the summer moves. Check out the latest deals and potential deals here. For a while now, it has appeared that Real Madrid are the club most determined to land Monaco prodigy Kylian Mbappe -- and Marca reports that they are determined enough to "pulverize" all transfer records. The Spanish outlet says Madrid "have reached an agreement in principle with Monaco for the transfer of Kylian Mbappe," and that deal is eye-watering -- €180 million in all, consisting of a €160m fee and an extra €20m in incentives. Marca adds that the previous world record fee, paid by Manchester United for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba last summer, "could be ancient history soon."  Monaco have not agreed a fee with any club for the services of Kylian Mbappe, according to the French side’s vice-president Vadim Vasilyev. Real Madrid and Manchester City have b...

Senate Republicans will continue their debate on their efforts to reshape the US healthcare system, with the focus likely to shift to a straight repeal of the Affordable Care Act. The discussion has so far yielded one defeat after a vote on the latest version of a plan to repeal and replace Obamacare failed. The amended version of what's called the Better Care Reconciliation Act failed 57-43, as nine Republican senators joined all Democrats in opposing it. It needed 60 votes to advance. The debate began earlier Tuesday, and the Senate has 20 hours of legislative time to debate, time that's split equally between Democrats and Republicans, and some of which was used on Tuesday. Among the other options likely to be floated Wednesday are the Senate's plan to strictly repeal Obamacare. There's also the chance of a "skinny repeal" bill, which would repeal certain aspects of the ACA and, if passed, lead to the House and Senate working together to compromise on...

For more than two years, Venezuela has struggled with a massive economic collapse that has triggered acute food shortages, a lack of medical care and rampant inflation. NPR's Planet Money calls the disaster, caused by government decisions and triggered by a drop in oil prices, an "economic horror story." A political crisis soon followed. Protesters called for the resignation of Maduro, who is now deeply unpopular. But instead of stepping down, Maduro accumulated more and more power. Empty streets, makeshift barricades, burning tires, signs scrawled with "No to dictatorship": Protests continue on the streets of Venezuela as a 24-hour general strike takes hold, the latest development in an ongoing political and economic crisis. Some citizens are trying to go to work despite the shutdown of public transportation; others are taking to blockaded streets in protest. There is widespread fear of more bloodshed after months of conflict and dozens of deaths. Th...

TO SENATOR JOHN McCain. We were saddened when we heard you were ill; here we brought you a bouquet of rich flowery red rose as a sign of my love and strong hope for your health and happiness as you prepare to resume to the house. Get well soon great man, your absence has created more work than we can handle. The more you stay in the hospital, the more work we have to do. Anyway, get well very quickly the whole word is yawing for your return because we miss you. Like a dying flower in gloom, you lie helpless but you rise and bloom and dance like a fresh blade of grass to the drumming of the breeze of life. You rise and bounce back like a great warrior who just battle Armageddon. We are anticipating for your return. We greatly miss you, but even greater is the fact that you miss something special when are away. Get well so soon and return home to decorate the world with your rainbow colors and brightness of special gift, we waiting for you. Our heart skipped its beat when we...

A gruesome double murder took place on June 28 in Trinidad, in which a 13-year-old boy and his babysitter were found with their throats slit. Police initially treated the incident as a robbery gone bad, but subsequently charged the sitter's brother and an accomplice for the murders.The time in between the discovery of the bodies and the arrests was a distressing one, with many social media users lamenting the escalation of violent crime in the c ountry and venting their frustration at the apparent impotence of the government and protective services to make a dent in it. But one Facebook user, Rayad Mohammed, took things to another level when he suggested that someone should rape and slit the throats of the family of Prime Minister Keith Rowley. His original status update was deleted, but blogger Rhoda Bharath made a screenshot of it and shared the post via Instagram. Mohammed issued an apology, but was ultimately charged with “inciting violence” under the Summary Offences Ac...

Earlier in the month, in what could best be described as the African gods of peace and harmony coming together to have a laugh, arch-rivals Wizkid and Davido performed for crowds abroad on the same night, in the same city and in venues just 15 minutes apart from each other. As part of his promo tour to support the Sounds From The Other Side EP, Wizkid performed at the Bloody Louis nightclub, while Davido’s 30 Billion World Tour made a stopover at Birmingham Palace, both in Brussels, Belgium. A few weeks prior to their shows, the two men had reignited their five-year-old on-again off-again rivalry, so no one truly knew what that night had in store. But July 8th, 2017 came and went without any drama, so if Brussels – a city a fraction of the size of Lekki alone – could contain two of Nigeria’s biggest pop stars, the world is more than enough. If Cristiano Ronaldo was born in a different generation, Lionel Messi would have been undisputedly the best football player of this gener...
