Over 20 Gang Members Indicted In Atlanta For Targeting Celebrities
Tyrese Ordered To Pay $10K In
Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis announced re- cently that her office is for- mally bringing RICO charges against the “Drug Rich Gang,” 11 Alive reports.
“If you thought Fulton was a good county to bring your crime to, to bring your vio- lence to, you are wrong and you are going to suffer conse- quences,” Willis said. “And today is the start of some of those consequences.”
Willis said the gang is not only targeting celebrities but anyone who flaunts their wealth on social media.
“So I do have a message for the public where it is kind of
fun to put your things on social media and show off,” Willis said. “Unfortunately, these gangs are becoming more savvy, more sophisticated in the way that they target you.”
The crime wave includes kidnapping, robbing, shoot- ings and home invasions.
“We are going to find you. We are going to convict you. And we’re going to send you to the prison for the rest of your days, and I’m not apologizing for that,” Willis said.
DA Willis also noted that the Drug Rich Gang includes Gangster Disciples (GD) and Bloods and they primarily op- erate in DeKalb County.
During Heated Court Hearing
A new set of body camera videos have been released to various news outlets showing the aftermath of the fatal shooting of Jayland Walker, according to the Akron Beacon Journal. Walker was shot 46 times by Akron police, and the new videos show the officers trying to provide aid to Walker but also turning their micro- phones and cameras off.
According to the video, ob- tained by the Akron Beacon Journal, the officers shout to one another a few minutes after the shooting stops to make sure they weren’t in- jured. Obviously, none were hurt. Then, officers ask where Walker’s firearm was (to which it’s still unclear if he was armed) and moved in to hand- cuff him. Per the video, the of-
When the officers began to leave the scene, one com- manded, “Go blue,” to the group and they muted their microphones while the video still rolled. Another ordered a woman officer to turn off her camera.
“After they shoot and end the life of Pam Walker’s son, they turn off their mics. They turn off their cameras. What did they say? What did they do?” Walker family attorney Bobby DiCello said at a press conference on Tuesday. “They’ll come up with a reason why they could turn off the cameras. But probe, ask those questions. In the face of this insult, we’re still here.”
The Ohio Bureau of Crim- inal Investigation’s probe into the incident is ongoing.
Latto Teams With Planned
FANI WILLIS, FULTON COUNTY’S DA
Tyrese is putting his foot down regarding what he is will- ing to give up in his divorce set- tlement. According to TMZ, the Fast & Furious star wants to keep his 2016 Range Rover and give ex-wife Samantha Lee Gibson the 2017 Land Rover Discovery. He also doesn’t want to pay spousal support and wants physical and legal joint custody of their daughter.
On Aug. 30, a judge ruled Tyrese will be paying $10,690/month in child sup- port, TMZ reported. Since he has to pay child support dating back to 2020, he will owe his ex-wife $209,000.
The judge had a few words for Tyrese regarding the child support decision.
“This is not a punishment for you. Put that money where it belongs, in the child!,” they told him.
Their divorce proceedings had its heated moments. At one point, the judge became aggra- vated with Tyrese. When Gibson’s lawyer was grilling him about his 2018 income, he tried to clap back at her with a question of his own. Before he could say it, the judge cut him off.
“You don’t ask questions! That’s not how this works!!,” he said.
TYRESE
He also told Tyrese that if he didn’t stop with his shenani- gans that he would hold him in contempt.
During court on August 29, Samantha Gibson had to face Tyrese’s lawyer Tanya Mitchell Graham. Graham hit her with a line of questions about her spending two years ago and things reportedly got tense. One of her attorney’s then intervened and called out Graham for an “irrelevant” line of questioning.
Tyrese and Gibson’s di- vorce hasn’t been amicable. In 2021, he filed a motion to block her “unreasonable demands,” SandraRose reported. Gib- son, who filed for divorce in 2020, wanted $20,000 a month in child support.

Abortion Rights And Access
Parenthood To Advocate For
Latto has been very vocal about women’s rights in her music, but she isn’t afraid to step away from the booth and approach the matter in a dif- ferent way. In a recent public service announcement, the “Big Energy” artist joined Planned Parenthood in an ef- fort to advocate for abortion rights and access after the con- troversial Roe vs. Wade deci- sion.
In a Youtube video, the 23- year-old passionately spoke about the state of the country as it relates to pregnant women. “We already know who’s going to be hurt the most by these ridiculous abor- tion bans: Black women, Brown women, the LGBTQ+ community, and communities with low incomes,” and added “Because of this country’s his- tory of racism and discrimina-

tion, these folks already have a hard time getting the health care they need. We all deserve to be safe and it’s every per- son’s right to make decisions about their own bodies.”
The Columbus artist con- cluded her PSA with “As an artist, I want to use my plat- form to let these politicians know: My body is for no one to control, but me.”
