A number of videos have shocked the world throughout this social unrest period in America. Some show protestors being violently dispersed with tear gas. Others show people being singled out in largely peaceful protests. And others show police officers smashing car windows for absolutely no reason.
The people that are supposed to be protecting us are seemingly more concerned with protecting public property, not caring much for the lives of people of color along the way. In Riverside, California, a peaceful protest was declared by the sheriff's deputies and, as they marched on live television, one deputy was seen smashing the window of a parked car for literally no reason. The camera stealthily panned out and zoomed back in once he had finished.
Looters have been active in Los Angeles and other Californian cities, but this one can only be blamed on the police.
Watch the video below and keep an eye on the parked car on the left-hand side of the screen.

Jeezy’s Baby Mama Goes After Him In Court For Not Buying Her A Car
Jeezy’s baby mama, Mahlet “Mahi” Gebremedhin, filed a motion of contempt after he stalled the process of purchasing her a new car as part of their child support agreement.
Jeezy‘s baby mama is fed up with his excuses for failing to buy her a court-ordered 2020 Jeep Wrangler, so she decided to file a motion of contempt against the rapper. Mahlet “Mahi” Gebremedhin, the mother of Jeezy’s daughter, Amra, recently took legal action against her ex-fiancé after he did not fulfill a portion of his part of their child support agreement. The paternity case was initially filed back in April 2019, and states that Jeezy must pay $7,500 a month in child support as well as an additional $30,000 per year for school tuition. He must also provide health insurance for their child and put up $30,000 towards a new car for Mahi. However, according to court documents, Jeezy failed to do the latter, leading Mahi to file a motion of contempt against him.

In the documents, Mahi states that once she had settled on purchasing a 2020 Jeep Wrangler, she sent over the payment information to Jeezy’s legal team. However, she says that his lawyers argued that Jeezy’s finances had been affected by the coronavirus pandemic, and that he was unable to fork over the entire $30K all at once. They also allegedly stalled the transaction further by requesting additional documentation from Mahi so as not to send her the money “blindly.” Jeezy’s lawyers offered to set up a variety of different “payment options, but Mahi seemingly wasn’t interested. According to The Blast, Jeezy and Mahi have since managed to work out a deal.

Shaq, Lil Pump, Jamie Foxx Surprise Viral 5-Year-Old Who Stole Parents’ Car
The Utah child who went viral for jacking his parents’ car to go buy a Lambo got to check out some luxury cars, hang out with Jamie Foxx, and FaceTime with Shaq and Lil Pump in L.A.
Adrian Zamarripa, the 5-year-old boy from Utah who took his parents’ SVU on a quest to cop a Lamborghini last week, just had his dream made into a reality, along with a few celebrity surprises. Adrian went viral last week after a state trooper stopped the child while he was driving 32 MPH down Interstate 15 on his way to Los Angeles to purchase the luxury car. Although Adrian didn’t make it more than 3 miles from home, the story blew up, and certain California big shots caught wind of it. RD Whittington, celebrity car broker and owner of Wires Only, decided to fly Adrian and his family out to Malibu to visit a luxury car dealership.
Little Adrian got to sit in the drivers’ seat of a ton of fancy whips, including a Ferrari and a Hummer. RD surprised Adrian’s mom with a free car for Mother’s Day, before taking Adrian for a ride down the Pacific Coast Highway. The two of them rolled up to the Hollywood Hills where they stopped by Jamie Foxx‘s house, who Adrian met earlier over FaceTime. The three of them goofed around and admired Adrian’s shoes before getting Shaq on FaceTime.
During his visit to the city of angels, Adrian also got to talk with Lil Pump over FT. While he may have had the time of his life on the trip, Adrian did receive some stern warnings from RD. The car broker made him promise to “stay in school” and to wait until he gets a driver’s license before getting behind the wheel next time.
Playboi Carti Buys $400K Family-Friendly Rolls-Royce Amid Baby Rumours
Playboi Carti dropped $400k on a family-friendly Rolls-Royce SUV, furthering speculation that he and girlfriend Iggy Azalea did in fact welcome a baby last week.
Although Playboi Carti and Iggy Azalea have yet to confirm whether they recently became new parents after rumours circulated last week that the couple had welcomed their first child, Carti’s recent automotive purchase feels like a pretty big hint. According to TMZ, Carti dropped $400,000 on one of the most luxurious family-friendly rides out there: a 2020 Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV. The rapper made the pricey purchase from celebrity car broker RD Whittington’s company, Wires Only, and paid an additional $10,000 rush shipping fee to have it delivered to his home in Atlanta ASAP.
Carti reportedly had certain upgrades added such as a set of two leather seats and cocktail table that emerge from the luggage department at the touch of a button. The car also includes a tilting and retractable sunroof and fold-down TV screens. Check out more photos of the opulent whip here.

TMZ reported that Carti had specifically requested a larger vehicle in which he could safely install a baby car seat. While nothing is for certain, this would be a pretty odd request if he and Iggy hadn’t just welcomed a child. Only time will tell if this rap couple really do have a little one calling them “Mom” and “Dad” now.
Gervonta Davis Shows Off New Corvette After Calling Moneybagg Yo’s "Middle Class"
Gervonta Davis had previously deemed Corvettes “middle class” right after Moneybagg Yo copped one, but it looks like the boxer has had a change of heart.
Gervonta Davis appears to have shifted his preferences when it comes to luxury sports cars. The boxer recently showed off his new white Chevrolet Corvette on his Instagram story, less than a month after dragging the whip and calling it “middle class.” “Grrrrrr something else on its way..MC,” he wrote on the clip of his new ride sitting pretty in the parking lot. While this could simply be chalked up to a simple change of heart, his comments were particularly loaded at the time, since Moneybagg Yo—Gervonta’s ex Ari Fletcher’s new man—had posted about his new Corvette mere hours earlier.
On April 16th, Moneybagg shared some photos of his new red whip, which seemed to prompt a subliminal response from Gervonta on Twitter. “Can’t do the corvette,” the boxer tweeted. “Middle class.” Moneybagg proceeded to respond indirectly on his own account, tweeting, “If you got any kinda smoke wit me deal wit me on some street shit no internet please.” He followed up this tweet by noting, “N*ggas be lame asf mad about b*tches.” Gervonta feigned his innocence in a reply to another user, claiming that his initial tweet had nothing to do with Moneybagg. “Never gotta shade nobody baby,” he wrote. “I’m talking about my preference.”

This was not the first time that Gervonta had shaded Moneybagg due to his associations with Ari. Back in January, the boxer posted a photo of him and his date sitting courtside at a Lakers game, which received some hateful comments from trolls trying to diss him about his ex. “ARI & MONEY BAG YO LOOKS BETTER,” one comment read, to which Gervonta replied, “I’m richer what now.”
Gunna Takes Roddy Ricch’s Words To Heart With New Purchase
Gunna took Roddy Ricch's lyrics literally, buying himself a brand new bulletproof Cadillac.
In Roddy Ricch's hit record "The Box," he says that he's cruising through the city in a bulletproof Cadillac. It seems as though he may have started a trend because, on Instagram Stories, Gunna just flexed his brand new whip and it's safe to say he will be safe inside of it.
Showing off his fresh wheels for the 'gram, Gunna revealed that he had just purchased a new whip with bulletproof windows.

"I bought a bulletproof Cadillac too," says the rapper, knocking on the driver's side window to show how sturdy they are. "You see how thick the windows is?"
With the amount of money coming in for the Atlanta star, this purchase is nothing for him. Late last year, he purchased a new truck for his father's birthday. There doesn't need to be any special occasion for him to spoil himself though. This is just another day for Young Wunna.
Gunna has been getting ready to release his new album WUNNA, which is set to drop in the coming months. He introduced the concept with his new single "SKYBOX."
Clearly, Gunna has been taking ideas from Roddy Ricch. Maybe they can team up for a song on the album called "Bulletproof Cadillac?"

Some, like Nick Cannon, went above and beyond with their tributes to the rapper and activist. In honour of Nipsey’s signature mantra, Nick got some custom blue art work of Nipsey’s likeness along with the words, “The Marathon Continues,” painted on his 1964 SS Impala. The photos, which can be seen here, show three different images of Nipsey painted on the trunk of the car, along with the checkered flag symbol that’s come to be associated with his catch phrase. The street signs denoting the intersection of Crenshaw Blvd and Slauson Avenue are also shown, along with some angel wings.

Nick reportedly commissioned Jr. Kustoms to do the paint job roughly two months ago, in anticipation of the anniversary of Nipsey’s death. The Impala is currently being held at Nick’s NCredible Motorsports warehouse in L.A. Following Nipsey’s passing, Nick actually vowed to continue the work Nipsey had started on a documentary about the controversial Dr. Sebi, a self-described healer who claimed to have the cure for various fatal illnesses before he was mysteriously killed. However, Nick has yet to give any updates on whether he has made any progress with that venture.
Future & Lori Harvey Rap Along To Unreleased Music
Lori Harvey already knows all the words to this unreleased Future track.
A major perk of dating Future is getting to hear his stash of unreleased music, which must be infinite. His girlfriend Lori Harvey showed on her Instagram Story on Saturday night (Feb. 22) that she has been taking full advantage of this benefit.
While having a date night, Future and Lori drove around bumping one of his songs, the full version of which has not yet made its way to our longing ears. Either Lori happened to be in the studio while Future was cooking up the track or she's been devotedly listening to it on her own time because, in the video she posted, she raps along to every word. Perhaps she's such a fan of this one because it contains lyrical references to her. "Pussy was leaking, I fucked on a jet / We made a bond to never forget / Cancel that hoe, she try fuck on my chick," Future raps (I think?).
At first, the camera only shows the 22-year-old model jamming. It then pans to show Future in the driver seat, who appears pretty confident that he made another hit. Lori's gold Rolex stands out in the dark car. The watch was speculated to have been a Christmas gift from Future, since he has a track record of treating his women to expensive timepieces. Another perk of dating the rapper.
Ari Fletcher Surprises Mom With New Car & Vacation Getaway For Her 50th Birthday
Ari treated her mom to some new wheels and a surprise trip.
Ari Fletcher pulled out all the stops for her mom’s 50th birthday this year. The IG model, best known for dating Gervonta Davis, G Herbo, and, currently, Moneybagg Yo, surprised her mom with some pretty incredible gifts. On Ari’s heartwarming birthday post, she included two videos in which she can be seen bestowing some gifts upon her mom. In the first clip, her mom is stunned when she sees that Ari has gifted her a brand new truck, followed by a video taken inside the car where Ari’s mother finds a card that tells her to pack her bags for a surprise trip with her sister.
“All I wanna do is make you proud, that’s my #1 goal in life,” Ari wrote in her sweet birthday message on the post. “Everything I do is for you and Yosohn. Anything on this earth you can have as long as I’m breathing, it’s no limits. Whatever you desire I promise to make it my business to get done. You don’t ever have to worry about another bill in your life. Thank you for always standing 10 toes down for me, I owe it all to you. Happy 50th birthday Queen! We just getting started. ?❤️?.” While the second video doesn’t reveal where Ari’s mom and aunt are headed, there’s no doubt it’s someplace super nice. It looks like Ari and her mom have a very close relationship, and her mom seems to have a special bond with Ari and G Herbo’s son, Yosohn, as well. Ari shared a boomerang from the same night of the two of them clinking glasses—Yosohn with his bottle and his grandma with her bronze cocktail mug.
Ari herself recently got spoiled with presents from her boo, Moneybagg. The occasion was unknown, but the rapper showered Ari with gifts to show his love.
