Puff Daddy Opens Charter School In Harlem
Music mogul Puff Daddy added the title of an EDUCA- TOR as another notch on his belt.
After six years of planning, Puff Daddy, and Dr. Steve Perry, the founder of Capital Prep Schools finally reached their goal, and opened up a brand new charter school titled 'Capitol Preparatory Harlem School.'
With 176 students between both 6th and 7th grade, Puff and Dr. Perry delivered in- spiring speeches to their new students.
The two partners, along with the school’s principal Donita Jones proceeded to join to- gether, cut the ribbon, and of- ficially open the doors to the East Harlem prep school.

SNOOP DOGG
Rapper Snoop Dogg wants in on Blast by Colt 45’s $700 million corporate sale, and he’s one step closer to obtaining just that.
Snoop, who signed an en- dorsement deal with Blast by Colt 45 back in 2011, says he never received the 10 percent he was to pocket after the sale of the malt liquor, and is suing for that very reason.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Long Beach lyri- cist recently made some progress when a judge in the matter declined to drop the musician’s lawsuit against Pabst Brewing, which previ- ously owned Blast by Colt 45.
In fact, Judge Malcom H. Mackey referred to the evi- dence as “maddening.”
“It’s maddening, you gentle- men have conjured up a lot of facts on this case,” Judge Mackey said to attorneys, The Hollywood Reporter reports.
As a result, Pabst Brewing’s motion for summary judgment has been denied.
Snoop filed his lawsuit in 2015, months after Pabst Cor- porate Holdings let a third party purchase all of its stock in Pabst Holdings Inc.

While speaking with TMZ recently, Atlanta rapper T. I. made it clear that he isn’t here for any of Rudy Giuliani’s commentary on Beyonce’s VMA performance.
“Who gives a f...k about what Rudy Giuliani says about the music? Who cares? He’s not an aficionado of music. This isn’t politics. He needs to worry about Trump’s campaign,” T. I. said.
During an appearance on Fox News this week, the for- mer New York City mayor, whopreviously slammed Bey- once’s Super Bowl perform- ance, claimed to have “saved more black lives” than Bey- once or anyone at the VMAs.
In response to Giuliani’s comments on saving Black lives due to the policies he put in place, T. I. didn’t argue with the claim, and instead made mention of “the black lives he destroyed” due to mass imprisonment.
“He also imprisoned so

many, unnecessarily,” the At- lanta rapper said.
At this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, which aired on Sunday (August 28), Bey- once was joined on the red carpet by the mothers of Trayvon Martin, Eric Gar- ner, Michael Brown, and Oscar Grant III.
