Over the weekend, former Hot Boys rapper Turk launched a GoFundMe campaign, in an effort to raise a whopping $5 million. “Without going in details for those who know me know that I am a very good husband and a caring father to my son and twins. Today I come to you for help because I am in a 5 million dollar debt and it’s getting hard trying to pay it off on top of everything else,” the page read. Turk was accused of shooting a cop and did a significant amount of jail time for it, and it looks like he’s having trouble getting on his feet now that he’s free. “There is no secret stash. This isn’t a conspiracy theory,” Turk wrote on Instagram, when people began questioning why he needed the money. “This is what happens when a man faces his actions, does his time and returns home to live free. The debt to society has been paid. The restitution has been paid. Now you want to go for broke and take from a man what he doesn’t have.” $550 had been raised as of this morning, but the campaign and all related Instagram posts have now been removed. Hmm – too much backlash? Let us know what you think it was!
SMH: Company Confuses Whoopi For Oprah On Twitter; Oprah Reacts
Someone was probably fired from Total Beauty last night, after a horrible mix-up during their Oscars coverage on Twitter has cost them a ton of backlash! “We had no idea @Oprah was #tatted, and we love it. #Oscars,” they wrote – with a photo of Whoopi Goldberg on the red carpet. Good job, guys. Of course, they were immediately called out on their mistake, and they quickly deleted the tweet, and have since offered up the following apology:
“We’d like to apologize to Oprah and Whoopi, as well as everyone we’ve offended. It was our error, and there are no excuses. We’re sorry. Using this #Oscars #SNAFU as an opportunity to donate $10k to @whoopigoldberg & @oprah’s charity of choice. #ThatsNotOprah #WeMeanIt.”

Kanye West is having a weird time. In between SNL meltdowns, Twitter rants and his album being bootlegged at a rapid rate, he’s now having his team remove entire YouTube accounts over perfectly legal performance footage from years past – some dating back as far as 8 years ago! The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry has been going hard in their take-down efforts, and those affected include notable names in the blogging industry, including Miss Info, Nigel D. and Chicago’s own FakeShoreDrive. While some are only having specific videos be removed, other accounts have gotten deleted entirely, causing them to lose years worth of valuable footage. Could it be Ye specifically? TIDAL? Hmm! Hopefully this gets resolved soon! Check out tweets from a few of those affected in the gallery.
