Kodak Black Enters Plea Deal In Sexual Assault Case
Fast & Furious’ Dwayne Johnson Is The World’s Highest Paid Actor
Kodak Black has avoided jail time in his sexual assault case involving a teenage girl.
ABC 15 reports the 23-year- old rapper, legal name Bill Kapri, was sentenced to 18 months probation after plead- ing guilty to a lesser charge of first degree assault and battery. Kodak was originally indicted on a charge of criminal sexual conduct in the first degree and faced up to 30 years in prison; however, the victim agreed to the terms of a plea deal that Kodak ultimately accepted.
As part of the agreement, Kodak is required to get coun- seling as well as apologize to the girl who accused him of rape in 2016.
The victim told authorities the assault took place inside a hotel room following Kodak’s performance in Florence, South Carolina. The warrant for

Kodak’s arrest stated he “forced the victim onto the bed in the room and then onto the floor of the room ... The [defen- dant] removed the victim’s un- derwear” before penetrating her as she repeatedly told him to stop. Authorities said Kodak ignored the girl’s pleas and allegedly bit her on the neck and breasts.
The wrestling ring might be one of the unlikeliest places for an actor to start his career, but that’s exactly how Dwayne Johnson rose to fame. After making a name for himself as a WWE superstar, “The Rock” made the switch and decided to take up acting full-time.
While his early acting gigs in- volved smaller roles such as the villain in The Mummy Returns (2001), he soon started headlin-

ing films. The star now has nu- merous box office hits under his belt, including recurring lead roles in The Fast and the Furi- ous and Jumanji franchises.
Johnson is now among the world’s wealthiest actors, com- ing top of Forbes’ list of highest- paid actors for the second year running in 2020 with US$87.5 million. According to celebri- tynetworth.com, The Rock is worth US$400 million.
T-Pain Leaks His Instagram Dms After Realizing He's Ignored 100s Of Celebrities
T-Pain is sincerely sorry to every celebrity who’s direct messaged him and had no re- sponse within the past couple of years. He simply didn’t know a separate folder existed on Instagram.
The singer took to Instagram on Wednesday (April 28) to share a video of him scrolling through all the DMs he’s acci- dentally left unread, with some big names showing up. As it turns out, the likes of Viola Davis, YBN Nahmir,
Diplo, Fergie, NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns, Keri Hilson, pornstar Nina Kayy, Princess Pia Mia and soccer player Daniel Sturridge had all reached out, and all T-Pain could do was shake his head in disbelief.
He wrote in the caption, “I swear!! I’m just now seeing all these messages and mentions TODAY!!!! How do I super apologize? Press conference? Town hall meeting? I’m
T-PAIN dumb.”
50 Cent Clowns Basketball Great Dr. J Following LeBron James Shade
50 Cent isn’t allowing any LeBron James slander slide — no matter who the source is. During a recent appearance on Posted Up with host Chris Haynes, NBA legend Julius Irving (also known as the great Dr. J.) named his top two all- time NBA teams and created a fantasy team in the process. On his first team, Dr. J named Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell and Elgin Bay- lor as his starters. For his sec- ond, he listed Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Karl Malone

and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
But NBA superstar LeBron James was noticeably absent from the list.
Despite Irving’s explana- tion, 50 Cent decided it wasn’t good enough and proceeded to clown the 71-year-old retired baller anyway. On Tuesday (April 27), the Power mogul shared a post about Irving’s comments and wrote in the caption, “sounds like old hater s**t to me!” He added in the comment section, “It takes a lot of work and talent to be @king- james if that wasn’t true we wouldhave3or4ofhim,we only got 1.”

Fittingly enough, Redman was cast in the role of a charac- ter named Theo Rollins, who is actually the older brother of the conniving lawyer known as

Davis McLean in the show played by his 4/20 Verzuz op- ponent Method Man.
“I am on the set of Ghost sea- son 2 – Power Book II, Season 2 – and guess who I’m shooting a scene with today,” Meth teases in the clip on set.
“That’s right, Funk Doc is on the scene!” the New Jersey native adds. “Yes sir, I’m play- ing his bro on Ghost Power: Book II, and it’s going to be fire!”
