Business insider stated the following:

Earlier we noted that shares of HNHI added $50 million in market cap today thanks to tweets from 50 Cent aka Curtis Jackson. Obviously he's being compensated. How much? A LOT. This SEC filing shows that he owned 30 million shares. Seeing as each one gained $.29 today, that's nearly $10 million for one weekend of tweeting. How soon do you think he sells?

Palin has been catching alot of heat due to the recent Tuson shooting which left 6 dead (including a federal judge & 9 yr old girl) and congresswoman Gabrielle Glifford fighting for her life....

During the recent midterm election campaign, Sarah Palin placed Giffords in the "crosshairs" (gun target symbol) of a "target list" of lawmakers she wanted taken out. Sarah sent out a tweet to her followers saying "Don't retreat instead Reload" and then directed people to her FACEBOOK PAGE which had a map with a list and crosshair shooting target symbols over Congresswoman Giffords (shooting victim) and several other districts.

The story of Ted Williams (homeless man) ex wife Patricia Kirtly. She's the real hero

via NY DAILY NEWS
Patricia Kirtley raised four daughters alone after Williams split 23 years ago and dove down the rabbit hole of drugs. Not only that, Kirtley took in the baby boy the radioman had with another woman and raised him as her own. she's partially blind.

"We survived," Kirtley said Thursday in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. "My children are survivors. They know if we get a little bit that God provides, we make it into a lot. I'm a soup maker. I make potato soup and throw in a lot of vegetables and a little meat. We always ate."

Except that Williams, who seems to be a nice guy, just wasn't strong, wasn't around and wasn't contributing financially. Kirtley had to go on the dole. "I still remember my case number," she says ruefully. She eventually went to school and got licensed as a blind vendor.

"My mother and sisters pitched in and drove me because I can't see to drive," said Kirtley, now 58, over a din of some of her 16 grandchildren playing.

Mannie Fresh explains hiatus. Talks Kanye's bush comments & the state of the music industry

Shout to KenNY BOOKins Haygoo on this BALLERSTATUS interview with Mannie Fresh

BallerStatus.com: What have you been up to?

For those that don't know, I had a tragedy with my sister, it set me back dude. I'm not going to even lie to you. It made me think about some of the things I was saying on records and some of the things I was doing and everything, so it kind of put me in a funny place. For the longest, I didn't even feel like doing music, and during one of my interviews this interviewer asked me, "What would your sister want you to do?" It was just a revelation to me, and I was like "Yeah, what would she want me to do? You know what this is what I was born to do, like what am I doing?" I feel like it's a rebirth of Mannie, with technology and everything and with things like Twitter what people are saying is incredible.

BallerStatus.com: Do you need the labels?

Yeah, to a certain degree. I mean, because you have to be heard, its only so much underground can do. You have to look at what hip-hop was based on. We had so many different avenues of music. We had the story tellers, we had gangsta rap, we had pro-black, we don't have that no more.
