Charm City will never forget the impact of Michael K. Williams. The Baltimore Ravens paid tribute to the actor with his iconic whistle as Omar from The Wire.
As spotted on EPSN Sunday Night Football got off to the proper start as the Ball So Hard University honored the fallen thespian in an iconic way. As they hit the field they played audio of Omar Little, his memorable role from the gritty crime HBO series, whistling “Farmer In The Dell”. The hiss became a signature for the character as it not only alerted the neighborhood that he was present but, it also established his dominance as one of the most feared gangsters in the town.

David Simon, the creator of The Wire, happened to be in the area when the tribute happened and took to Twitter to share his excitement. “Heard the sound of Omar whistling ‘Farmer In The Dell’ from the stadium while walking across the Ostend Street bridge to the Ravens opener and thought I’d lost my s—. It’s the little things that are gonna get me, I guess. But Michael gonna last,” he wrote.

Wack 100 Claims To Have Part 2 of Kim Kardashian & Ray J’s Legendary Sex Tape

Blueface’s current manager, Wack 100, claims he has part two of the world’s most infamous sex tape.
Wack 100 has spent the entire weekend breaking down the inner workings of the radio industry on Clubhouse after Joyner Lucas called out Karen Civil for allegedly finessing him out of $60,000. Now, Ray J’s former manager claims that he has part two of his ex-clients legendary sex tape with reality tv star turned mogul Kim Kardashian.
Speaking with Bootleg Kev on Saturday (Sep.18), Wack 100, real name Cash Jones said he owns “part two” of the amateur boom boom flick featuring Ray J and Kim Kardashian. What makes this situation even more eyebrow-raising is he wants Kanye West to have it.
“All I know is Kanye, holla at me, bro,” he revealed after Bootleg Kev asked him if he had seen Kim and Ray J’s 2007 original sex tape. “We got part two on the laptop. Ain’t never been seen. We’d love for you to have it.”
Jones even claims that the alleged video could be “a great personal, private NFT” but doubled down, saying he would only give it to West, adding, “I would never give it to anybody but Kanye ’cause that’s the mother of his children,” he said. “Because it’s Kanye, I probably would give it to [him]. That’s for him.”
As for its content, Wack 100 also claims that it’s “more graphic” than the first tape and “better than the first one,” stating he would also “gift” it to Ray J as well as West.

As for those who participated in the film, they are calling cap on Wack 100’s claims. Through her lawyer said in a statement shared by TMZ, “The claim that there is an unreleased sex tape is unequivocally false,” he said. “It is unfortunate that people make these statements to try and get their 15 minutes of fame.”
Ray J also responded on Instagram, saying, “This ain’t cool,” he wrote. “I been staying off the Raydar – Just staying focused and being humble and thankful for all the blessings I’m receiving.”

The passing of Friday and House Party actor Anthony “A.J.” Johnson has sent ripples through the entertainment world, including among those who worked alongside the standup comedian. Hip-Hop Wired briefly spoke with Johnson’s Friday co-star Nia Long, who shared that her memories of the star and his body of work will live on forever.
Long, who played the role of Debbie in the 1995 classic starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker, learned of the shocking news just moments before we spoke with her. While she shared in the sadness many have expressed who knew Johnson, she was clear in centering his work and his legacy first and foremost.
“A.J. was a joy on set to work with and one thing about him when you saw him, you knew that a joke was coming,” Long said with a slight chuckle. “Along with Friday, A.J. has left behind a beautiful body of work that will live on forever.”
Anthony “A.J. Johnson was 55 at the time of his passing. He will be sorely missed by many.

Meek Mill Claims Karen Civil Trashed His Name, She Refutes Allegations

Things got rougher this past weekend for influencer, publicist, and podcast host Karen Civil after Meek Mill joined the group of artists accusing her of theft with some hefty allegations of his own.
Civil was catching major heat after Joyner Lucas put her on blast for supposedly scamming him out of $60,000 in a series of tweets Saturday morning (September 18), alleging that she ghosted him after he requested her help for a marketing campaign. The accusation was similar to one that Cam’ron had made against her in 2017 regarding fellow Diplomats rapper DukeDaGod.
Cam even took to Instagram to rehash those allegations. The furor wound up compelling Jessie Woo and Jason Lee to come forward with their own accusations about Civil, with a packed room on the Clubhouse social media platform bearing witness. After mention was made of his own experiences with Civil in the room, Meek Mill decided to speak out via Twitter.

“Karen was my friend and turned on me for [an] opportunity… Start having the blogs posting negative about me on some conspiracy s###. lol. I forgive her but I definitely don’t wanna deal with y’all industry people that move like that! You should admit what you did to me too,” he wrote on Sunday (September 19), referencing how Civil allegedly did that while working for his ex, Nicki Minaj.

The Dreamchasers leader followed up by explaining that his reasons for venting weren’t based on anger. “People thought I was high just ranting… I’m not mad at her, she’s a woman, I’m over it… I’ll appreciate if she said something about that tho! We were real friends… I used to give her a lot of exclusive records for her website!”
In a tweet that’s now deleted, Civil responded: “@MeekMill you know damn well I ain’t have no site play you, I literally just supported your album and shown you nothing but cordialness and respect [the] last few years when we see each other.”
We gotta hear both sides, always.
