LA Sheriff Challenges LeBron James to Match Reward for Gunman Who Shot Deputies

Screen Shot 2020 09 15 at 10.13.28 AM

Yesterday, local L.A. radio show The John Philips Show, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva challenged living NBA legend LeBron James to match the reward money for the arrest of the person wanted for the shooting that left two L.A. County deputies injured.

Villanueva said the reward was up to $175K and challenged James to up the ante to $350K.

“This challenge is to LeBron James. I want you to match that and double that reward,” Villanueva said. “I know you care about law enforcement. You expressed a very interesting statement about your perspective on race relations and on officer-involved shootings and the impact that it has on the African-American community.” 

Villanueva ended with, “Let’s see what he does. I’ll be very curious to see what his response is, if any.”

James has been very vocal about the deaths at the hands of the police, specifically in the cases of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and most recently, in the shooting case of Jacob Blake.

Meek Mill Suggest Rappers Start a New Challenge for 2019: ‘Property and Owning Business’

Meek Mill is learning from Jay-Z and it’s starting to show. Hov had been encouraging rappers to spend their money wisely for quite some time now and as a result, Meek is embracing that same attitude.

The Philadelphia rapper who once glorified materialism in his raps has clearly matured.

In his latest album Championships, the growth in Meek’s character is evident. On the track “What’s Free” featuring Jay-Z and Rick Ross, the trio of rappers took a more enlightening and uplifting approach. They spoke on ownership, prosperity, and encouragement rather than speaking on Rollie watches, luxury cars, and expensive jewelry.

He’s now inspiring other rappers to adopt the same mind frame for 2019. On Christmas Eve, the ex-battle rapper went to Twitter to issue his new challenge.

Of course, Meek Mill and Jay-Z had been friends prior to Meek’s incarceration and Jay was also a strong advocate of Meek while he sat in, jail, but their relationship seemed to get closer. Over the weekend, Meek posted a picture of Jay-Z, Fabolous and himself at a partying in NYC at Dusse Palooza. Later on, he revealed that Jay gave him one of the Roc Nation chains he wore around his neck.

Layzie Challenges Migos To Battle Bone Thugs-N-Harmony To See Who’s Best

Members of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and Migos are at odds. At the center of the developing tension are Layzie Bone and Offset. Twice this year, and most recently in an XXL interview, the Migos member declared that his trio is “the greatest group in the world to ever exist.” Previously, he had made similar claims, specifying that it was true of all genres of music. The Atlanta, Georgia rapper’s bold words come in a year when the YRN threesome achieved their second straight #1 album on the charts.

Layzie took umbrage with the claims and used several Instagram posts tagging Migos and its three members to let them know that they are no match for the legacy of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. “Nah homies, y’all ni**as [are] lil’ ni**as compared to [us],” said the Grammy Award-winning veteran MC out of Cleveland, Ohio. He added, “Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, we still all five live — Krayzie, Bizzy, Wish, Flesh and myself Layzie Bone — we the best, you dig?”

Offset responded, belittling L-Burna that he is incapable of putting serious money where his mouth is. The Quality Control/Capitol Records superstar joked that Layzie lacked a million dollars to make the wager.

Layzie has responded to Offset in the comments, calling him out as well as others like him, who put bills above skills. “Naw, ni**a, that’s what’s wrong with y’all ni**as: y’all think money equals respect.

You gone’ need that bread for early retirement, boy.”
