RIP Chris Lightly

Hip-hop mogul Chris Lightly was found dead outside of his South Riverdale Bronx home this morning of a gun shot wound to the head.  Police on the scene also recovered a gun next to the body.

As of now, reports are classifying this as a suicide but there have been no reports on any left behind letters or notes that might explain why.  There was a divorced filed between he and his wife, Veronica last year so they were separated.  There are also speculations that he was facing financial issues as he owed the IRS $5 million in unpaid taxes.  But sources close to the couple say Veronica and Lightly had gotten into a huge argument when Lightly came to their house with moving vans to pick up his belongings.  They believe he must have left for home after that to shoot himself.

Lightly was the long time manager of star celebrities like 50 Cent, Mariah Carey, Busta Rhymes, and Missy Elliot, to name a few.  He also owned Violator's record label.

He always seemed to have a smile on his face and he left behind a lot of friends in the industry who will seem to miss him dearly.  I hope we can find some true explanations behind this tragedy.

  

Lightly was 44 when he died.

Rest. In. Paradise.

Appeal? What's the Deal?!

SO check this out.  Tamika RaymondFoster is planning on appealing the court decision that Usher maintain primary custody of his two boys and she get everything else.  She is siting bias from the judge as her claim for the appeal.

Are you kidding me?! BIAS?!! Bias from the same judge who gave you exactly everything else you wanted except primary custody?! You have to be kidding me!  There's no way she can get away with that!

If anything this to me would show how even more unfit she is! What woman wants to prolong divorce battles and really anything having to deal with negativity and their children?

I'm sorry but none of this seems right to me.  Has she lost sight of what's important?  Making sure the rest of the children she has are always happy.  She just sounds like a scorned little spoiled brat who is mad because she did not get every single thing her way. If I were the judge, I sure would appeal this decision, but appeal it to give her even less parental rights then she was already going to be awarded. . . but then again I'm probably just biased. -___-

Oh Happy Day!!

!!!!!

Oh happy day!  Usher Raymond has won the war!  News broke that a judge awarded him primary custody of his two sons, with Tamika still having certain limited custody that has not yet been specified.  

I would have to say this has been one of the ugliest divorce battles ever publicized on national television.  There was a lot of name calling and a lot of accusations being slung around.  In the end the courts decide based on what is best for the children in question and I happen to agree 100% with there decision today.  Don't get me wrong, I do understand the power and necessity of a mother, but in this case I just believe that for the sake of everyone involved this was the best resolution.

I suppose we the media did not help matters by poking and prying for every intimate detail we could posses.   But I would like to believe that sometimes it's a little more than just being nosy.  That some people really do care about and want to sympathize with these people and aren't just looking for their next bit of gossip.  

Sometimes we have to remember that even though these stories may seem larger than life and straight out of a fiction novel, there are real people and real emotions involved.

And well, enough with this mushy sh*t lol I'm happy for Usher. :)
