Jacob Blake shooting: Cardi B, Beyoncé, other stars outraged - Los Angeles Times

Posted: 25 Aug 2020 01:29 PM PDT

Celebrities and athletes voiced their collective frustration and anger over the shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man who was shot multiple times from behind by Wisconsin police on Sunday and who is now paralyzed from the waist down.

The shooting in Kenosha, Wis., which was caught on video, reignited national outrage over police brutality and the mistreatment of Black people as racial tensions continue to run high following the May killing of George Floyd.

New details continue to emerge. But on Monday, Ben Crump, the civil rights and personal injury attorney representing the families of Floyd and Breonna Taylor, said that Blake "was helping deescalate a domestic incident when police drew their weapons and tasered him."

"As he was walking away to check on his children, police fired their weapons several times into his back at point blank range," Crump's firm said in a statement released on Twitter. Crump confirmed Tuesday that Blake was paralyzed from the waist down and is "praying it's not permanent."

Kenosha police did not immediately disclose the race of the three officers at the scene or say whether Blake was armed or why police opened fire, and they released no details on the domestic dispute, according to the Associated Press. The officers were placed on administrative leave, which is standard practice in a shooting by police.

After the footage went public, advocates decried the shooting on social media. Many shared pictures of Blake with his young sons. Others were grateful that Blake made it through alive, although severely injured.

Protests erupted in Wisconsin over the past two nights as police clad in riot gear clashed with protesters. Social justice activists described the Blake shooting as another instance of white supremacy at play in law enforcement.

"Wow this is SICKENING ! I can't believe it ! What's going to be the excuse now ?" "WAP" rapper Cardi B wrote on Instagram, sharing a video a graphic clip of the shooting. "They just don't give a ... nomore ! SOMETHING MUST HAPPEN !Yooo this is insane they really not giving a ... anymore.Lord please!"

"Black Is King" star and singer Beyoncé shared a photo of Blake with his sons on Instagram, writing, "Sending prayers and thoughts to Jacob Blake and his family."

Lakers star LeBron James saw the video for the first time on Monday and it made him feel angry, fearful and hurt, he said. He and teammates Kyle Kuzma and Anthony Davis spoke passionately about the shooting — and the relationship between Black people in America and police following the Lakers' Game 4 victory over Portland.

"It's just, it's just — quite frankly, it's just [expletive] up in our community," James said. "And I know people get tired of hearing me say it, but we are scared as Black people in America. Black men, Black women, Black kids, we are terrified. Because you don't know."

After a playoff win, Oklahoma City Thunder star and former Clippers player Chris Paul also sent thoughts and prayers to the Blake family in a televised postgame interview.

"We said we're going to speak on the social injustice and the things that continue to happen to our people," Paul said. "It's not right. It's not right. So the win is good, but voting is real. I'm going to challenge all my NBA guys, other sports guys: Let's try to get our entire teams registered to vote. There's a lot of stuff going on in the country. You know, sports — it's cool, it's good and well, that's how we take care of our families — but those are the real issues that we've got to start addressing."

The Detroit Lions canceled practice on Tuesday in response to the shooting. Football players held up signs in front of the team facility that read "The World Can't Go On."

Beyonce fans think she has a secret Instagram account after mom Tina brags about singer’s cooking videos - POP TIMES UK

Posted: 28 Aug 2020 04:29 PM PDT

Beyonce's fans are on a mission — they are determined to find her.

Fans of the award-winning singer believe she has a secret Instagram account after her mother, Tina, gave out a little too much information when she spoke about how she liked watching her daughter's cooking videos. Fans believe Beyonce uses that secret account and shares cooking tips on it. 

In a live Instagram video, Tina apparently said, "Beyoncé really has been cooking a lot of great stuff on Instagram. She needs to have a cooking show." On hearing this, fans couldn't believe that the mother of two has been cooking. 

"I'm still dead off of Tina saying Beyoncé be cooking on instagram," a fan wrote on Twitter. Adding to that another said, "What Beyoncé be cooking on IG? Tex-Mex? Ribs? Creole? Étouffée?" 

"Rofl… ain't nobody ever seen Beyoncé cook. We can barely get an interview. So she need a cooking show? Idk," a fan shared. While another added, "Beyoncé if you see this I know you don't owe me anything but please show me what you have been cooking or just a voice note describing it please Beyonce." 

"I BEG YOUR F***ING PARDON BEYONCÉ BEEN COOKING ON INSTAGRAM?????," a fan questioned. While another said, "SHE HAS A CLOSE FRIENDS LIST??? BEYONCÉ CAN COOK??????????"

"WHAT WHERE WHEN I THOUGHT SHE COULDNT COOK" a fan wrote. Another added saying, "Momma Tina said Beyoncé be cooking in IG. Beyoncé got close friends or a burner account!?" 

While fans go gaga over the news of Beyonce cooking, Buzzfeed claimed that the video was edited. The affirmed that the video was edited and hence it seemed like Tina said Beyonce when she would've actually been talking about Angie Beyince. Angie is Beyonce's cousin who is apparently the Vice President of Operations at Parkwood Entertainment. Angie often posts about cooking on her Instagram page. 

"This is so out of context she said Angie Beyoncé ( she meant Angie Beyince) has been cooking a lot . Y'all ain't real hive if y'all thought Beyoncé was finna cook something," a fan wrote on Twitter. 

Tina is the mother of two singers,  38-year-old Beyoncé and 33-year-old Solange, and fans are on a mission to find out if Beyonce does have a secret Instagram account afterall.
