Ziggy Marley's First Time
Tamar Braxton Opens Up About Suicide Attempt, Announces Podcast
Voting In America
Judging by the number of voters who showed up early this year, the 2020 election has smashed records for voter participation. With a deadly pandemic, wildfires, floods, economic pressure, and a struggle for survival playing out from the tweets to the streets, the stakes have never been higher.
Snoop Dogg voted for the first time this year—and he's not the only one. Ziggy Marley voted for the first time this year also and docu- mented the process on social media. "I decided to vote and I wondered to myself why," Ziggy wrote on his IG.
"Then I thought about those who came before, the price they paid. In part, I am

voting in honor of them and to honor them, to not belittle their many sacrifices and struggles with my high jaded righteousness and indiffer- ence. Many brothers and sis- ters from numerous backgrounds and origins marched, bled, and died to give people like me basic rights in U. S., the right to be treated like a human being, the right to vote."
In her first interview since attempting suicide this past summer, Tamar Brax- ton appeared on the Tam- ron Hall Show on Wednesday (Oct. 28) where she opened up about her mental health, domestic vio- lence rumors brought on by her former boyfriend, and announced the launch of a new podcast.
To start, 43-year-old Braxton confirmed reports that she attempted suicide and explained what drove her to that point. “I already

felt dead,” admitted Brax- ton. “I felt choked every sin- gle day. It was about feeling
like I couldn’t never be my- self, and being misunder- stood and having the stigma of the ‘angry Black woman’ all the time. That’s not who I am. That’s not what I want to portray.”
She also spoke to her original vision for Braxton Family Values, how the show caused drama in her family, and not wanting to film the spin-off, Get Ya Life! Braxton claims that WEtv made her film Get Ya Life! in exchange for green lighting another reality series.

Deleted His Instagram
Account For A Solid Reason
Travis Scott got social media buzzing after he deacti- vated his Instagram account on Sunday (November 1).
Typically, it wouldn’t be that strange for an artist to un- plug every once in awhile, but it happened the day after he was mercilessly clowned for his Halloween costume, lead- ing many to believe he was bullied off the platform.
Scott had a solid reason for pulling the plug — his 2- year-old daughter Stormi and her mother Kylie Jen- ner.

A source reportedly said, “Halloween had nothing to do with it. He is focusing on his family and their well-being and wants to influence his fans to do the same instead of being so consumed with social media.”
