"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Maurice Fayne, who goes by the name Arkansas Mo, is in some hot water with the law after allegedly using a COVID-19 relief loan to buy millions of dollars worth of jewelry. Last month, Mo had requested a loan of $3,725,500 from a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which helps to cover up to eight weeks of payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities for small businesses amid the coronavirus pandemic. Mo sought out this loan to protect his Flame Trucking business, claiming that the money would be used to "retain workers and maintain payroll or make mortgage interest payments, lease payments, and utility payments, as specified under the Paycheck Protection Program Rule." He was ultimately granted $2,045,800 from the United Community Bank, a good portion of which he allegedly used for personal expenses.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Mo has been accused of spending over $1.5 million of the loan to buy $85,000 worth of jewelry, including a Rolex Presidential watch, a diamond bracelet, and a 5.73 carat diamond ring. He also allegedly used $40,000 of the loan to pay child support.

Mo denied all of these accusations, but when the feds searched his house, he didn't look so good. They found the aforementioned jewelry, and seized $80,000 cash as well as three bank accounts that Mo had allegedly used to transfer $503,000 of the PPP funds into. On Wednesday (May 13th), he was arrested on federal bank fraud charges. It is not yet known when he will return to court for his next appearance. 

While The Game has had a rough go this year, having recently been on the receiving end of an unfortunate legal blow, he’s not about to respond by sulking in the corner. Instead, Game has decided to come forward and put his money on the table in the name of a righteous cause. Taking to Instagram, the rapper confirmed that he would be teaming with Go Giveaways to provide four of his fans with twenty-thousand dollars apiece.

“Check it out, I’m giving away twenty-thousand dollars to four people,” begins Game. “COVID-19, everybody in the house. Everybody can use some extra cash, man. All you gotta do is follow @gogiveaways_official right now on the Gram.” As he tells it, there’s very little else to do other than follow the steps presented in the announcement post. “Twenty-thousand dollars, who can’t use it?” he ponders, as rhetorical a question as ever.

Should you feel like giving it a try, head over to the Go Giveaways IG page, follow all 80 of the pages they are following, share it to your story and tag one of your friends in the comments. After that, Game himself will pick a winner — it should be noted that the contest is reserved for those eighteen and older. Check out the full list of details below, and sound off. Have you any interest in partaking in the Game’s challenge?

Rihanna continues to be one of the biggest artists on the planet and while fans wait for some new music, she has been working on her Savage x Fenty campaigns. In fact, recently, a gorgeous photo of Rihanna in some lavender lingerie was posted on the Vogue Magazine Instagram page, as a way to promote a new contest that will let people at home be featured the next Savage x Fenty campaign.

All you have to do is submit your snaps to the Savage account and if you are selected, you will be able to take some photos over Facetime that will eventually be a part of the next Savage x Fenty drop. This is a pretty cool opportunity and it’s all a part of Rihanna’s efforts to provide COVID-19 relief to communities that need it. 

Rihanna recently teamed up with Jack Dorsey of Twitter to donate $4.2 million to those who are experiencing domestic violence during the stay-at-home orders. The artist is continuing her efforts and it seems like she has absolutely no intention of slowing down, anytime soon.

Hopefully, when the quarantine is all said and done, Rihanna will finally be able to give us the music she has been working on. It’s certainly been a long time coming.

El Chapo is known to be one of the most ruthless drug kingpins the world has ever seen. He is currently serving jail time although his influence and menacing presence are still felt in his native Mexico. Despite this, it looks like his daughter, Alejandrina Guzman, is doing her best to help out the people of Mexico during the Coronavirus crisis.

As of right now, cases are starting to skyrocket in the country and people are dying at an alarming rate. In order to create some relief, Guzman has begun putting together aid packages called “Chapo’s Provisions.” The packages even have El Chapo’s face on them and inside, people can find medical masks, food, hand soap, and some other goods that will keep them safe during this trying time.

Needless to say, anyone can do a good deed during these uncertain times and it appears as though Guzman is about to save lives while also bringing some smiles to people’s faces. Numerous celebrities have been contributing some relief efforts of their own and these initiatives have certainly gone a long way.

Perhaps Guzman will inspire other people in Mexico to come through with their own relief initiatives. At this point, every little bit helps.
