“I get beats all the time. I try to write all the time. People think, Oh, man, he’s just sitting on raps, or he’s just holding these raps hostage. I ain’t got no raps like that,” he says.

The Army Overturns Convictions of 110 Black Soldiers Charged in the 1917 Houston Riot.
The Army acknowledged that the Buffalo Soldiers, 19 of whom were hanged, had been convicted in military trials that were tainted by racial discrimination.
The hangings were so swift that not one of the soldiers had been given a chance to appeal for clemency. They were buried in graves with markers indicating only numbers 1 through 19.
It was one of the largest mass executions carried out in the history of the U.S. Army.
Due to the overturned conviction, the decendants of these brave soldiers may file military benefits owed to them.

Gospel Grammy nominee Bobbi Storm was nearly kicked off her flight for singing.
UPSCALERS- What’s your thoughts on this...
In a widely shared video, a Delta flight attendant told the gospel singer Bobbi Storm that she would be removed if she would not listen to his instructions to be quiet.
Keep in mind it was reported that this was done after the plane returned to the gate for a maintenance issue. So the plane was not in flight when the altercation happened.
In a follow-up video, Storm said Delta executives had reached out to her and offered an apology.

We're planking every day and twice on Sunday if planking is going to get us to look like this 71 year old beauty.
Who is with us... drop a 💪🏽 in the comment
Thank you @paulineadeleke

I think “Planks” are one of the best exercises that you can do to ensure muscle strength, ab definition, improving your posture & helping you to protect your back.
.
The good news about this exercise is that you can start where you’re at: 15 seconds can build up to 30 seconds, in short, just keep building, you’ll be amazed at how long you can go for!
.
Never give up on YOU Family no matter how young OR old (aka: wise) you are. You’re Divine & Divinity has no age limits or restrictions 😊

Our minds are on Keke Palmer as news has broken about her Restraining Order against her ex Darius Jackson and her filing for Sole Custudy of their son.
Keke Palmer's mom had something to say about Darius Jackson's brother Sarunas Jackson, whose now deleted X (formely twitter) post has come to light. Many believe the post was about Darius...
Keke claimed that she has security footage from a November 5th incident in which Darius trespassed into her home without her knowledge or consent and threatened her before lunging for her neck, striking her, throwing her over the couch and stealing her phone.
Keke stated there were many instances of physical violence with Darius that include destroying of personal property, throwing car keys to prevent her from driving away, hitting her in front of their son, spewing profanities, threatening to kill himself with a gun if Keke left him, and other physical and emotional abuse.
We at Upscale pray for the safety and peace of Keke and her son. This is definitely not news we want to report, especially when there is a child involved.
