Drake's ‘Toosie Slide’ Still At No. 1 On Billboard Hot 100
ARTIST OF THE WEEK
BY TALK TO ‘EM DA DON
In this edition of the Tampa Artist Of The Week, we are fo- cusing on the talented Dread Green (@iam_dreadgreen). She grew up going to church, which is where she first started to sing. She also wrote poems when she was young. Once she reached middle school she started reciting her poems into instrumental beats and started to rap.
She doesn’t have any mix- tapes out because in our gener- ation she feels like one time is the charm, it just takes one song to break and you take off from there.
Dread is actually thinking about dropping a mixtape be- fore 2020 is over due to all her supported fans friends and family who encourages her to
do better is asking for it. Her biggest influences are Lil Wayne and Anita Baker.
What makes her different from everyone else is that she is in her own lane she wakes up every day and competes with herself. As an artist, she looks back on her last song and uses that to make an even better song.
She puts God and her chil- dren first before any and every- thing. She is humble and is forever thankful and she ap- preciates any and every person who supports her music. It re- ally means a lot to her.
Her advice to any upcoming female artist is to keep God first, He will elevate you and no matter what, keep going it can be hard in a male dominated industry, but you have to keep going! “GIRLS RUN THE WORLD”

Sheriff Suspects More Than One Person Killed 'Tiger King' Missing Husband
Florida authorities recently announced they were looking for new leads on the disappear- ance of Tiger King star Carole Baskin's husband, Jack "Don" Lewis. Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronis- ter, in an interview with TMZ, has now said that he thinks its possible Lewis was killed in a hit planned by multiple people.
"I’m extremely suspicious, but not just of her, of this whole circle here," he explained. "I don’t want to allude to the fact or insinuate that she’s a person of interest and that this is who we are focusing on. I’m not
CAROL BASKIN
comfortable saying that yet." Lewis was last seen on Aug. 18, 1997, and since Tiger King hit Netflix many have assumed that Baskin was involved. While Chronister stopped
short of saying Baskin was re- sponsible, he did suggest the disappearance was actually a homicide.
"Listen, there’s normally not one person that commits a homicide, it’s always a couple of people," he added. "This had to be extremely planned out, this had to be well thought out, there’s someone else involved in this, there is someone who is paid to do it, there is someone who helped do it. I’m hoping that person wants to come and get this off their chest and help law enforcement do the right thing."

terms of the resources people need.”

On Tuesday (April 14), she was back in court to prove that she had served Offset a notice of her lawsuit. Shya report- edly had to notify Offset about the suit through an advertise- ment in a local newspaper, since he’s been allegedly avoid- ing her.
