Chingy is back in the headlines like it’s 2003. Our sister site Blavity reports that the rapper — a former protegée of Ludacris — was thrust back into the spotlight after an Estée Lauder executive was fired for posting a racist meme featuring a reference to the “Right Thurr” Hip-Hop hitmaker. “The meme portrayed a fake book cover with Sesame Street characters Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleupagus, along with a racial epithet in the title joking about the coronavirus pandemic,” Blavity reported. But while John Demsey fumbled a reported salary of $10 million/year, Complex reports Chingy didn’t understand what all the fuss was about. Chingy says he’s not offended by the meme posted about him.

Since then, the actor and singer has appeared in several movies and television shows — many of which have won awards. The 45-year-old actor and Chicago native is a shrewd businessman.

He was born in 1977 and is the son of Marilyn “Kitty” Haywood, who is a member of the Chicago-based all-female...
Breakups are always tricky. From the heartbreak to the reminiscing of memories, experiencing a relational transition can be seen as one of life’s tragedies. Although the beginning and end of a relationship are a natural part of human development, it doesn’t take away the sting when something special ends. While many would encourage folks to turn the “L” into a lesson, what happens when it’s hard to say goodbye — so you just keep coming back? Or even worse, when the love you have isn’t even reciprocated? This narrative may sound like the next great rom-com or the plot for a Shonda Rhimes spinoff. However, it is not the case here. This emotional rollercoaster actually refers to the reality of many sneakerheads and their experience with the Nike SNKRS app. Week after week, the latest shoes drop on the app, and while many are successful in their purchases, other potential buyers are left with the all too common “YOUR ENTRY WASN’T SELECTED” notification — talk about a loss.
