Lil Wayne is so angry sometimes…he almost fought a cameraman at a charity event in New Orleans!!

So apparently, Wayne was having a private conversation and a cameraman was taping it, and bumped into Weezy. So Weezy demanded an apology, but when he got it, he wasn’t satisfied.

Another sad day, missing 13 year old girl found

Feb3

According to Associated Press, the body of a reported missing 13-year-old girl has been found dead lying naked at a park in Farfield, California., police said.

Eric May who was the passerby that discovered the body told KTVU-TV, “I thought to myself, that looked like a mannequin, didn’t look like a human body,”

The girl was reported missing around 5:45 p.m. Thursday by her guardian at a foster home in nearby Suisun City. That city’s police Cmdr. Tim Mattos told the Daily Republic that the guardian last saw her board a school bus. He said she was in class all day and was expected home around 4 p.m.

A cause of death has not yet been reported. No suspect or suspects have been identified, but detectives were canvassing neighborhoods and checking video images from surveillance cameras as part of their investigation, Mayoral said.

Sacramento television station CBS13 reported the girl attended Green Valley Middle School, which is about eight miles from the park.

School Principal Gregg Hubbs declined to comment on the girl’s death.
