Ice Cube Says Warner Bros. Refuses to Make “Friday” Sequel

While many people are questioning whether there will ever be another sequel in the Friday franchise, Ice Cube took to Instagram to reveal that it doesn’t seem likely.

Cube posted a cartoon drawing of the original Friday characters along with the caption, “#freefriday from the jaws of Warner Bros. who refuses to make more sequels. They have hi-jacked the happiness of the culture.” 

This comes after Ice Cube told late-night host Seth Meyers last year that plans for a fourth Friday were stalled after the death of John Witherspoon, who played “Pops” in all three of the movies. At the time of the interview, Ice Cube stated that plans for the movie were on the back-burner, and recent news about Warner Bros. makes it seem even more unlikely for the near future. – VLADTV

Travis Scott Under Investigation for Surprise Public Event Due to Potential COVID-19 Violations Read More: Travis Scott Under Investigation, Event Violates COVID-19 Rules

Travis Scott held a surprise event in Los Angeles this week, but he may have to answer to city officials after being accused of possibly violating COVID-19 regulations.

According to a report from TMZ on Thursday (Feb. 25), La Flame held a flash mob-esque pop-up event in the West Hollywood section of L.A. on Tuesday (Feb. 23). However, he didn’t receive a permit from the city’s Department of Public Works because the DPW is reportedly leery of giving the OK on these sorts of non-essential events due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

City officials are reportedly taking a close look at Travis and his event to see if he infringed on coronavirus restrictions.

Los Angeles’ Department of Public Works also reportedly plans to confer with the City Attorney’s office on the actions they’ll take against the Houston rapper, which includes potential fines. It’s worth noting that although Public Works does issue citations for permit violations, it isn’t certain whether or not Travis will receive one.

As for the event, hundreds of people gathered at a newsstand featuring Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack logo to announce his first “Utopia” issue of i-D magazine, where he can be seen gracing the cover. He discusses his upcoming Utopia album in the interview.

The former 2013 XXL Freshman clearly loves his fans because he did something similar last September at a McDonald’s location shortly after launching his partnership with the fast-food franchise.

Travis Scott made an appearance at a Mickey D’s in Downey, Calif. and was surrounded by a mob of supporters. In the video footage that surfaced online, there were few mask sightings and very little social distancing was being practiced at the time.

Yella Beezy Had 5 Guns in His Car When Police Arrested Him, Affidavit Says

An arrest warrant affidavit revealed that Yella Beezy had five guns in his vehicle when Dallas police arrested him earlier this month.

Police claimed undercover cops were surveilling an area known for its high-crime when they spotted the 29-year-old commit multiple traffic violations. When police pulled Yella Beezy over and asked him to roll down his window, which they believed were too tinted, he told them he couldn’t because the windows were bulletproof.

The officers checked his identification and confirmed the rapper as a documented gang member. After one officer spotted a gun on the floorboard, he requested a drug-sniffing dog. Once the dog gave a positive alert, police found five guns in various areas of the vehicle.

The guns reportedly founded included:

– A Beretta PMX containing 19 rounds of ammunition. The gun had been reported stolen in Frisco.
– An FN Herstal Five-Seven that had 21 rounds of ammunition.
– A Sig Sauer P365 with 11 rounds of ammunition.
– A Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard that had six rounds of ammunition.
– A Springfield Armory Saint AR-15 pistol with a 54-round drum of ammunition. The gun had a wrist-brace that made it possible to fire the weapon with one hand.

After admitting to owning the weapons, Yella Beezy was taken to police headquarters and arrested. He was released shortly after being booked into the Dallas County Jail.

In 2018, the rapper was shot at more than a dozen times while driving on the highway. He was hospitalized for more than a week after sustaining three bullet wounds during the shooting.

Yella Beezy, whose real name is Markies Deandre Conway, faces a misdemeanor charge of unlawful carrying of a weapon. Because he is a documented gang member, he cannot legally possess any handguns in his car. – VLAD TV
