Leading Off (04/26/2021)
Proud of
Mavs Sweep Lakers. Even without LeBron James and with a very limited Anthony Davis, a split would have been understandable, especially since the Mavs played Saturday night’s game without Kristaps Porzingis and Josh Richardson. But Luka Doncic solved the Lakers’ double-teams finally, racking up 13 assists, and Dwight Powell had 25 points and 9 rebounds, as the Mavs came back from 17 points down to win going away. Big dub.
Joe Tillotson, RIP. I knew Joe best as one of the owners of Barley House, but that was just one of many bars and restaurants he was behind. The 53-year-old succumbed to prostate cancer on April 22.
The indictment follows Boosie Badazz’s recent
VladTV interview in which he was adamant about living by a strict street code, something he learned at an early age.
“I wasn’t taught to be no rat at 17, 18 years old,” Boosie said. “I was taught to be no rat at four years old, three years old. A lot of shit ain’t built in people from a youngster, so when they get pressure like that, they break like that. All these rats coming out and shit they need to make a whole CD and name that motherfucker Cheddar Cheese. All these fucking rats and all this paperwork they need to make a motherfucking CD and call it Rat Poison.
Was Yella Beezy detained in relation to Mo3 murder?
Yella Beezy and Mo3 had a long-standing beef despite being from the same city. Dallas-based rapper Mo3, whose real name was Melvin Noble, was shot dead in November 2020 by a suspect who chased him on foot on I-35E, the eastern half of the I-35 interstate highway, which splits to serve the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area. Though there is no evidence against Beezy but many blamed him for Mo3 s death. Mo3 also had a beef with another rapper named Trapboy.
According to TMZ, Yella Beezy’s beef with Mo3 also led to a lawsuit in January 2020. Mo3’s manager Brandon Rainwater sued Bezzy over an alleged assault that occurred outside Dallas’ V Live strip club in the same month. Mo3’s manager had then claimed that he suffered a dislocated hip after being on the receiving end of a beatdown from Yella Beezy and his crew.
