Brandon Adams AKA “Bee Famous” started from humble beginnings. As a young man who just enjoyed taking photos, he never would have imagined the trajectory his life was due to take him on. People always told young Brandon that he had skill with a camera, and an Eye for detail. As his clientele as a photographer grew, so too did his reputation. He began photographing a series of models up and down the east coast, and those models blew up. One of these noteworthy Instagram models, known as InasX, now has a whopping 3 million photos on Instagram. The humble Bee Famous however is quick to point out that he was not the sole reason for her success but was happy to be a part of the Journey. 

That’s what makes Bee Famous a rarity in the entertainment business. He thrives on being a sort of “kingmaker” within the industry. His art comes in the form of making other people’s art shine, and he embraces that mentality. As is the case with all good-hearted artists, Bee famous rode his positive momentum into some life changing opportunities. 

On one of his trips down the east coast, Bee Famous found himself in Miami Florida. A shoot turned into new friends, and new friends turned into a night out. Bee hosted a models trip in Miami, where he was introduced to a man named Bobby Lytes. Bobby lights as some may know, is an original cast member of “Love and Hip-Hop: Miami” on VH1. Bobby and Bee hit it off almost immediately with Bobby hiring Bee as his own personal photographer. The pair have stayed connected ever since, with Bee Famous following Bobby over to the Zeus network for the show “Bobby, I love you, Purr” one of the country’s first all gay dating shows, a benchmark for the LGBQT+ community. 

As interesting as the Bobby Lytes angle was on Bee’s career, he points to another significant moment in his history as one of his most memorable life events. That event was inadvertently becoming a purveyor of Marijuana for R&B singer Chris Brown. “I just got a random call, because I’m a plug for a lot of different people who are looking for specific types of professionals,” Bee explains. Those people needed a makeup artist for a set. That’s all the information he had. Being the kind of person he is, Bee immediately found a quality make-up artist and brought them to the set. It was there he realized that the set was for a Chris Brown music video. 

Bee moved carefully around the set, never wanting to upset the creative balance, but it was clear the first day had descended into organized chaos. On one of his walks around set he noticed that one of Chris Brown’s security guards was wearing a sweatshirt that advertised “cookies,” a specific brand of Marijuana that Bee was familiar with. A conversation about that became a interesting request from Chris Brown himself; Find him a substantial amount of the weed, and he would grant Bee a meet and greet. As he always does, Bee Famous found a way to deliver, and not only did he get the meet and 

greet, but Chris Brown, an artist known for refusing to let people take or post photos with him, snapped a viral selfie with Bee famous. 

“It was an amazing, humbling experience and I am so grateful for this I’ve lived,” said Bee. If history is any indication however, this will be far from the last cool story Bee Famous has to tell as he continues to ascend in the industry.

Since the arrest of the whole YSL squad, we’ve received many updates on Young Thug. During the greatly anticipated event hot 97 throws every summer Sunday night, the rapper would release a statement to his fans in place of him not being present for his promised performance. During the recording, Thug voiced his appreciation for the support fans of YSL have shown so far.

“I just want to say thank you to all of my friends and my family for coming out and supporting us. You know, your support during this time means a lot to us…” Thug started.

“You know, this isn’t just about me or YSL, I always use my music as a form of artistic expression, and now I see that Black artists and rappers don’t have that, you know, freedom, Everybody please sign the ‘Protect Black Art’ petition and keep praying for us. I love you all.”

In the previous week, Kevin Liles, CEO of 300 Entertainment and Atlantic Records COO, informed the public about a petition called Rap Music On Trial: Protect Black Art that strives to terminate the use of the “artistic expression” as evidence in court. 

Prosecutors on the famous case have submitted lyrics from Young Thug and YSL in their RICO indictment. The record presented includes “Anybody” ft—Nicki Minaj, Thug & Gunna’s “Slatty.

Summer Jam is an annual hip-hop festival held in East Rutherford, New Jersey. New York-based radio station Hot 97FM sponsors the event. Held in June, the affair is known as one of the biggest summer attractions in the northeast. The show features the widespread acts of today’s hip hop and R&B.

The event held in MetLife Stadium had anticipated performances by Lil Baby, Lil Durk, Pusha T, City Girls, Burna Boy, Cardi B, and more.

Not long after the Uvalde school shooting in Texas, a funeral is for victims killed in the bloodbath. Eighteen children and one teacher will be buried in a custom casket made by Trey Ganem. The man decided to use his family-owned company “SoulShine Industries” to provide coffins for the victims. The company is based in Edna, Texas.

Ganem says the Texas Funeral Directors Association reached out to him to make the custom caskets on the day of the shooting.
The caskets were purchased through the gergia-based company and will arrive in Texas by early Friday, just in time for the funeral. Each casket made costs between $3,400 and $3,800 to create. Ganem met with the victims’ family members to customize designs for each coffin. The casket art ranges from softball to TikTok to Super- Man.

“We don’t just put a vinyl wrap on top. We custom paint every single one. We take the casket completely apart, paint the hardware, and paint the bars,” Ganem told a media outlet.”
His company also has made caskets for the victims of the Sutherland Springs and Las Vegas mass shootings.

The PGA of America announced Tiger Woods’s withdrawal after shooting a 79 in the third round today at Southern Hills.

After his latest surgeries, He shuffled his way around a course that was not in the best weather. The cold, windy environment may have been an obstacle but didn’t stop the golfer from making five straight bogeys. Today is the first time Woods has withdrawn from a significant event as a professional.

Before he withdrew, Woods was asked by a pool reporter” if he felt as though he would play the final round,” according to ESPN. The athlete’s comment was short and sweet as he expressed his body’s condition; he was sore and would suck it up, play some more, and see how he felt. Unfortunately, he had the worst round of his career in rainy conditions at this major championship, posting 9-over 79. Woods did not talk to any More reporters since then, but fans of the sport hope this was not his last appearance.

Rapper to pro ball player, J.Cole always had dreams of being a basketball player.

” I was always in love with basketball as a kid, but I thought I was way better than I really was because I didn’t have a male figure around to show me how to actually play. Me and my brother just kind of figured it out playing rec ball. I went to a middle school that didn’t have a team. That kind of set me back.” he told sports illustrated in an interview.

After years of pursuing basketball, a few days behind his sixth studio album, J. Cole made his pro-ball debut. He joined an African basketball League, the Rwanda Patriots Basketball Club. The rapper scored three points in his first game and secured three rebounds.

Last year Cole vacated Rwanda after his contract due to a “family obligation,” according to ESPN in 2021.

Even though his fans were proud of him, others had justifiable negative comments about his new career. In an interview during coles season, co-player Haydee Ndayishimiye expressed, “He’s a great basketball player and wants to play the game like everyone else. We understand some other teams may feel this way, but we made a basketball decision first.” explained in an article on Yahoo. Many people believe that it was good for the popularity of the team; however, players believed he didn’t deserve the spot and only gained it due to his rap career. A 3-6 game deal with the Patriots was signed. The build-up to his signing had his fans celebrating with him. and the build-up to his signing had the basketball community excited. During his season, his performance was not outstanding, but the team believed in his shooting abilities and knew enough about the game.

His performance was good enough to play a second season, and this time it’s a little closer to home. Cole will continue his career with the Canadian team Scarborough Shooting Stars. The Elite Basketball League tweeted Thursday night about the news. 

The rapper has always meshed his music career with basketball. He even named mixtapes and albums basketball phrases such as “The Warm Up” and “The Off-Season” the covers would even feature basketball gear. The season begins on May 25th, 2022, and fans are excited.

A week before Kendrick Lamar’sLamar’s latest project dropped, he released his latest single and music video for “The Heart Part 5,” leading the internet to buzz with enthusiastic remarks.

The rapper pays homage to Nipsey Hussle while also rapping from different points of view as he morphs into stars like Kanye West, OJ Simpson, Jussie Smollett, and Kobe Bryan while rapping in the first person.

“Part 5” includes contributions from Kyle Miller and Bekon and is produced by production and songwriting trio Beach Noise. The trio consists of Matt Schaeffer, Johnny Kosich, and Jake Kosich, whose other production credits include multiple iconic tracks. It also appears to sample “I Want You” by Marvin Gaye.

 “As I bleed through the speakers feel my presence

 To my brother, to my kids, I’m in Heaven

 To my mother, to my sis, I’m in Heaven

To my father, to my wife, I am serious; this is Heaven

To my friends, make sure you countin’ them blessings. To my fans, make sure you make them investments.” Kendrick brings life into the video with his words.
