The “Chronic” emcee also has four children from previ- ous relationships: daughter La Tanya Danielle Young, 37, and sons Curtis, 38, Marcel, 29, and Andre Young Jr., who died in 2008 of an appar- ent drug overdose.

Focused on Kaepernick’s teenage years and early football, basketball and baseball suc- cesses in Turlock, California, the Michael Starrbury penned limited series will put particular emphasis on the influences and circumstances that developed the social and cultural con- science of the young man adopted by a white family.

XXXTENTACION’s Half Brother Sues His Mother For $11M
Jodi Kavney, the mother of XXXTENTACION’s half brother Corey Pack, has sued the late rapper’s mother Cleopatra Bernard on behalf of her son. According to docu- ments, Pack’s mother has ac- cused Bernard of cutting out X’s half brother from funds in the slain artist’s trust.

Cleopatra has not only paid Corey’s living expenses and purchased him a car, but she has gifted to him and his mother, Jodi Kavney, a mortgage free home and paid the current year’s real estate taxes.
