Drake is set to address his old beef with DMX in an upcoming episode of “Drink Champs” according to host, N.O.R.E. who took to social media on Saturday (September 25th) to make the announcement.
“C’mon Drake,” N.O.R.E said in a video. “Tomorrow — Monday, Drake is on Drink Champs.” N.O.R.E. has been teasing Drake coming on the podcast since April and during his latest tease he spoke of helping to end the beef between the “Six God” and “X.”
“A lot of people don’t know but I squashed the beef between DMX and Drake thru my boy 40 but we Will save that for Drink Champs,” he wrote on social media.
Previously in a 2012 interview with The Breakfast Club, DMX said he “didn’t like anything about Drake” before he clarified that he thought Drake is a “good lyricist” but that “he wasn’t a fan.”
Drake doesn’t do too many interviews, are you surprised he’s appearing on Drink Champs? If you could ask Drake a question, what would it be?

As the stars came out for the premiere of 50 Cent’s new Starz drama “BMF,” the conversation about “Verzuz” continued after T.I. performed for the premiere, “50 I’m waiting on you!”

George Holliday, who opened the world’s eyes to racial injustice among police officers when he caught the Rodney King beating on video, has died of COVID-19, a friend says. He was 61 years old.
Holliday, who lost his battle with the virus Sunday in Simi Valley, California, was not vaccinated, according to longtime friend Robert Wollenweber. “Unfortunately, he didn’t want to get vaccinated,” Wollenweber says. “He wanted to get the COVID so he could build immunities — and his wish came true about a month ago.”
Holliday was thrust into the limelight in March 1991 after he captured video of L.A. cops beating King from the balcony of his apartment. The video aired repeatedly on national TV and was a key piece of evidence in the four officers’ trials. Although the cops were acquitted on all charges, two of them were later found guilty of violating King’s civil rights.
Why didn’t the Rodney King incident spark a revolution as big as the one caused by George Floyd’s death?

Howard University College of Medicine partners with DC Public School System to encourage youth ages 12 to 17 and their parents to get vaccinated against COVID.
The partnership will have medical students serve as ambassadors to public school students ages 12 to17 and their parents to encourage the youth to “take the shot.”
From September 21-30 on Tuesdays and Thursday, Howard medical students will go to Brookland Middle School, Sousa Middle School, and Johnson Middle School. Additionally, from October 5-14, medical students will go to Columbia Heights Education Campus, Coolidge High School, and Eastern High School.
“Outreach and education are important ways to help individuals make informed decisions about vaccination,” said Hugh E. Mighty, MD, Dean of the College of Medicine. “We must continue to develop creative ways to protect our children and ensure that their educational environments are healthy and safe.”
On Wednesday, September 22, at 6:00 p.m., District students and families are invited to join a virtual Youth Vaccination Town Hall hosted by Howard University College of Medicine. At the event, Howard University College of Medicine students will share the importance of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine and answer attendee questions about the vaccine. Families will be able to join the town hall by visiting bit.ly/HUyouthvax.
“We know the many benefits of our young people getting vaccinated against COVID-19: the vaccine protects their health, it protects the health of their families and school communities, and it minimizes disruptions to learning by helping our students stay in school. But our work continues to ensure families know that the COVID-19 vaccine is safe, effective, and necessary for our young people,” said Mayor Muriel Bowser.
Mayor Bowser signed a Mayor’s Order requiring that, beginning November 1, 2021, students ages 12 and older in the District must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to participate in school-based extracurricular athletics.
The District continues to offer incentives for youth who get vaccinated. Students ages 12-17 can receive a $51 gift card or a free pair of AirPods by receiving their first shot at Brookland Middle School, Sousa Middle School, and Johnson Middle School. These sites operate Tuesday – Thursday, 4:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.; and Saturday, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. All DC youth can claim their free COVID-19 vaccine at these sites regardless of which school they attend. The gift cards and AirPods are available to District youth ages 12 to 17, as well as students ages 18 to 21 and currently enrolled in a DC school seeking a high school diploma.
In addition to these incentives, all vaccinated District youth ages 12-17 will be eligible to win a $25,000 college scholarship or an iPad with a pair of Beats headphones. Eight students will be selected as potential winners of a $25,000 scholarship through the establishment of a new 529 DC College Savings Plan account, and 32 students will be selected as potential winners of a new iPad and headphones.
A 13-year-old boy is among five people injured in a shooting this morning in SE, DC.
The gunfire erupted just after 8:30am in the 2300 block of Alabama Avenue. Police Chief Robert Contee had only a vague description of the gunman saying he was on foot wearing jeans, a hoodie, and gray sneakers. He called on the community to help.
The victims’ identifies have not been released. Chief Contee says those shot included a 13-year-old boy and two women.
Police do not have a motive for the shooting. “We don’t know what this is about. What I do know is that it’s unacceptable. It’s unacceptable in the District of Columbia for somebody to brazenly shoot into a crowd of people and five people be struck at 8:30 in the morning,” said Contee.
The violence has once again unnerved residents who have seen a sharp increase in the number of homicides in the city. “We should all be sick and tired of this. We have to hold people accountable when they commit crimes like this, added Contee.
Today’s shooting happened just blocks from the 7th District police station and not far from Garfield Elementary School. Chief Contee says the victims’ injuries range from non-life threatening to serious.

A lower dose of the Pfizer vaccine is another step closer for youngsters ages 5 to 11. The pharmaceutical announced today the vaccine is safe and effective for that age group and it plans to seek approval by the end of the month.
A lower dose of the vaccine, one-third of the amount given to teens and adults, is said to be safe and provides a robust immune response in children as young as 5.
The findings come as COVID cases among children now account for more than 30% of new infections in the U.S.
Pfizer’s vaccine for elementary aged youngsters must still clear several hurdles, including submitting the data to the Food and Drug Administration.

Could the Fugees make a comeback? That is what Simon Boyle is reporting in his “Bizarre” column for “The Sun,” now we know that “The Sun” doesn’t always get things right but a Fugees reunion would be the biggest move of the decade.
“Lauryn, Pras, and Wyclef are still discussing what exactly they will do but they have managed to talk through everything which happened last time and feel like the time is right to return. There are loads of ideas being thrown around, including a tour, a movie, and maybe even new music — it could be their first album in 25 years. There is a lot of buzz and they all want to make it happen,” writes Boyle.
“You will have a better chance of seeing Osama Bin Laden and (George W.) Bush in Starbucks having a latte, discussing foreign policies before there will be a Fugees reunion,” said Pras in 2007.
The Fugees broke up after their 2006 tour, their 1996 hit album, “The Score” brought us hits such as “Fu-Gee-La,” “Killing Me Softly” and “Ready or Not.”
What do you think of a Fugees reunion? Do you think it will happen?
