Brooklyn rapper Fivio Foreign has come a long way in a short amount of time. The rising star has become one of the hottest artists in his city, dropping his new project 800 B.C. and earning lots of fan praise for it. Not so long ago, he was racking his brain, trying to figure out how to reach the level he's at now. At the time, he was living in a homeless shelter with his pregnant girlfriend and, when he posted a picture of them then and now on Twitter, he likely didn't expect to get destroyed in the comments.

"Ladies.. Stay down w yah man, Yu neva know," he wrote. "& we was livin inna shelter in dat first pic."

Former NBA Player Gilbert Arenas won $300,000 in the lottery, thanks to the help of a homeless man. Arenas explained how exactly it went down on his Instagram.

“This caption is not about good deed but about a struggling man’s sacrifice and belief,” Arenas begins the story. He explains that a homeless man asked him for money, but after learning he only had $10 left to spend on gas, the man told Arenas to keep it. He said, “keep the $10 and after u win, hook me up with $20,” referring to lottery ticket Arenas planned to purchase.

The next day, the former NBA player received a text telling him he won. Arenas says he paid the homeless man an undisclosed amount of money afterward.

This caption is not about good deed but about a struggling mans sacrifice and belief ?? may 12th I rushed out the house to play my lotto numbers?forgot my money and the car was on E??‍♂️ I had a whole $10 in the car??? I pulled up to the gas station to get $10 worth so I can head to (my hook up gas station) and then a struggling man says (hey sir can u spare me some change) my first thought was ?PHUCK I don’t have time for this shit today? so I said mannn I have $10 for some gas and that’s it,I have 8 mins to get to the other gas station to play my numbers before it’s to late? he says u can play here…I said the other gas station lets me push the buttons myself? he then says how far u going! My brain is saying (the fuck u asking all the questions for ) so I was only going to CALABASAS which was 7 mins away but lied and said Thousand Oaks which was at least 16 mins away so before he did the math on everything I said ” 8 mins before the cut off but it’s 16 mins away” I said listen I’ll just use $5 dollars for gas and u can have the other $5 ? he then says (from here to Thousand Oaks and back) u won’t make it on $5 so KEEP the $10 and after u WIN hook me up with $20! I said are u sure he said yes ? I know ur gonna win? by the time I got to the my hookup gas station they were closed I guess they closed early for repair so I didn’t get to play my numbers??? I wake up to a text Wednesday morning saying congratulations U won 300k ? I’ve heard this scammer type shit happening so I ignored the next becuz I didn’t get to play my numbers so I couldn’t have won shit….I went to the gas station later that day to play powerball that was later that night and the owner runs out saying YOU WON i texted u ? I said huh I didn’t play yesterday..he said I played ur numbers for u becuz I was closing early and u WON ?? long story short…..I pulled up on my guy yesterday and gave him his cut (for his safety) won’t say the number ?he jumped up and hugged me for 5 mins crying and then started to pray? I’ve given back to the homeless BUT never was blessed by one ??? his good hearted gesture of me making it back home blessed that ticket? #happysunday

A tragedy has reportedly befallen the DeBarge family. The DeBarge bloodline is known for having generations of musically talented artists and musicians. Those that have tapped into their creativity have become icons (like the group DeBarge) or reached their own levels of success in the industry. However, many members of the DeBarge clan have found themselves struggling, as well. Drug addictions, arrests, bids behind bars, and other scandals have made headlines and now reports state that the son of Chico DeBarge has been murdered.

Rolling Out reports that 35-year-old Dontae Anderson-DeBarge was in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles when he was stabbed on the street. Responding officers reportedly found him bleeding but rescue efforts were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that a stabbing death occurred, but wouldn’t release the name of the victim.

“Per Sgt. Fisher, Van Nuys Area Watch Commander, a homicide occurred at the above location,” authorities shared in a statement. “The victim (M/B/35 yrs) was found with multiple stab wounds. He was pronounced deceased at the scene by LAFD. There is no suspect information. The victim is homeless. It is unknown if it is gang-related.” We send our condolences to Chico DeBarge and the DeBarge family.

Justin Bieber decided to do something different with the music video for his latest Quavo-assisted single, “Intentions“. Rather than placing himself and his collaborator at the center of the clip, he highlights the stories of women staying at a shelter in Los Angeles. Biebs and Quavo visit Alexandria House to chat and dance with those staying there. At the end of the video, a message thanks the shelter for opening their doors to the recording artists, who pledged $200,000 to start the INTENTIONS Fund for Alexandria House. A link was provided to make donations and many have already felt inspired to do so. 

According to TMZ, the shelter has received more than $10,000 in donations since the music video dropped at midnight Friday. Since Bieber is an international pop sensation, the money is coming in from all around the world, including Italy, Romania and China. The shelter detailed that the majority of the donations have hovered around $1 and $5 denominations, but there have been a few large donations of $1,000 and $5,000. The “Intentions” video also managed to simply raise awareness about the extent of the homelessness epidemic and how shelters play a crucial role in aiding those affected. Alexandria House’s website has experienced an 800 percent increase in traffic since Biebs’ nod. 

Bieber’s new album, Changes, is out this Friday (Feb. 14). 

Delonte West began his professional sports career after being drafted 24th overall in the 2004 NBA Draft by the Boston Celtics. West earned his place in the league as one of its most productive point guards during his stint in the NBA. Unfortunately, since not returning to the NBA since the 2011-2012 season, he's had one of the most disturbing falls from grace the sports realm has witnessed in quite some time.

In 2016, there were reports of the 6'3 guard allegedly panhandling and asking pedestrians for money while he was on the street. More recently photos of the former-Cleveland Cavaliers guard have many questioning whether if he is homeless or not and even more recent footage of West dancing underneath a bridge might have verified those allegations for those wondering. 

Now, two separate videos of the 36-year-old have surfaced of him being pummeled in the middle of a traffic-riddled street and another of him handcuffed, sitting on a curb, and being interrogated by what appears to be law enforcement officials. 

In the video posted by @N90sKindOfWorld on Twitter, West can be seen curled up in the fetal position as a man in a leather jacket stands over him and repeatedly kicks and punches him in the head. 

With the year and decade coming to an end, millions of people are sharing lessons they’ve learned over the last 10 years. Social media is crawling with before and after side-by-side photos of people who are reflecting on their circumstances this time back in 2009, including many celebrities whose lives have drastically changed after being bitten by the bug of fame.

Lizzo previously took the time to share how far she’s come following her Saturday Night Live performance, writing on social media that she was once a sign spinner for Liberty Taxes. On Tuesday, Lizzo also took part in the thoughtful 2009 to 2019 posts and added her own. “2009 was the year my daddy died. 2009 was the year I lived in my car & cried myself to sleep on thanksgiving,” she wrote. “2019 is the year my album & song went #1. 2019 is the year I told my mama I can buy her a house. Anything can happen in a decade. Tomorrow is the beginning of ur Anything.”

Aside from her motivational message, Lizzo also showed off her red hot New Year’s Eve look and suggested that she was planning on showing out. “Finna go Lizzo and show my whole ass tonight ?,” she wrote. Check out her posts below.
