Protests have been taking place in major cities across the country and, last night, things turned fatal in Las Vegas. One man has been pronounced dead and one police officer is fighting for his life after being shot in the head.

According to Fox 5 KVVU, a local Las Vegas news channel, two separate protest-related shootings took place last night. It was the fifth night of protests in Las Vegas when an armed man, who was reportedly carrying multiple firearms and was wearing body armor, was shot several times after he allegedly grabbed for a weapon. Officers engaged and shot him dead. The shooting took place at the Lloyd D. George U.S. Courthouse at Las Vegas Boulevard and Bridger Avenue, where they were reportedly stationed to protect the building from protestors.

In a separate incident, a police officer is on life support after being shot in the head. The officer was shot near Circus Circus and has been brought to University Medical Center. The cops were trying to disperse a crowd at approximately 11:30 PM, reportedly taking rocks and bottles from protestors. As they attempted to place several people in custody, a shot rang out and struck one officer in the head. He is said to be in “grave condition.” A suspect has been identified and was taken into police custody.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Sheriff Joe Lombardo spoke on both incidents during a press conference. He called the shooting unacceptable and added: “I hope the community sees it that way, too.”

Another day, another story about DaBaby getting into a fight.

The 28-year-old Charlotte rapper is one of the biggest names in rap right now but, unfortunately, he can’t seem to stay out of trouble. DaBaby has a mean streak and if you get on his bad side, there’s a good chance you’ll be nursing some injuries the next day. 

According to a new report by TMZ, the rapper and a few of his friends called a car service in Las Vegas in November 2019 and when they sparked up some weed in the van, the driver requested they put out the joint. Apparently, that set off an argument between DaBaby and his team and the driver.

According to a police report, DaBaby and his crew allegedly began cursing out the driver and hurling threats, telling him that he’s lucky they were not in their city because they “would have killed [him], cracker motherfucker.”

When they arrived at the Hard Rock Hotel, the driver asked to be paid and DaBaby allegedly punched him in the back of the head and said, “You ain’t the boss.”

The rap star and his entourage reportedly then got their bags and left before telling the driver that he’s lucky they didn’t leave him dead on the street. Yikes.

There is reportedly an active arrest warrant to nab DaBaby for misdemeanor battery.

This is yet another (alleged) blow in DaBaby’s legal record.

Last night, basketball fans were blessed with another two episodes of "The Last Dance" which is the documentary that follows Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls during their championship run in the 1997-98 season. Episodes three and four were heavily dedicated to none other than Dennis Rodman who was known as basketball's best rebounder, as well as a man who loved to party and live his own life.

As MJ describes, there was a moment during the 97-98 season where Rodman stopped caring about basketball and asked the team for a vacation. Typically, you can't just take a vacation in the middle of the season but head coach Phil Jackson made the exception and let Rodman go to Las Vegas for 48 hours.

Jordan was very skeptical about Rodman coming back on time and his skepticism was eventually validated. In the end, it took Rodman a full 81 hours before Jordan and Jackson hopped on a flight to Vegas and brought him back to Chicago themselves. Hilariously enough, Rodman was still in good shape as he was outrunning all of his teammates in practice.

This Rodman story was certainly the highlight of the latest batch of episodes and some incredible memes came out of it, as well. Check out some of those memes, below.

On September 7, 1996, Mike Tyson hit the ring. The boxing legend was facing off with Bruce Seldon at the MGM Grand and everyone who was anyone descended on Las Vegas. Suge Knight attended the fight with Tupac Shakur, a friend of Tyson’s, but following the event, the Death Row figures were involved in a brawl inside of a hotel. Hours later, someone pulled up alongside Tupac and Suge’s vehicle and opened fire, injuringg the rapper. He died six days later.

Days ago, Fat Joe and Mike Tyson linked up for a quarantine chat where they shared stories about music, boxing, and growing up in New York. Fat Joe wanted to know what it was like for Tyson to hear about Tupac Shakur being murdered just hours after seeing him at the fight. “I never said this, but all that stuff was planned in advance… I believe that the fight was the opportunity for it to happen,” Tyson said of Tupac’s slaying. “I just believe that was the perfect opportunity for something like that to happen… Everybody knew everybody was going to be there. And the people that wasn’t there, wasn’t there because they knew who was going to be there.”

“This is the real. Tupac was just a force,” Tyson added about his late friend. “He was just an uncontrolled force and that was the problem. He was powerful and he just—no one could control him.” Watch Mike Tyson chop it up with Fat Joe for close to an hour below.

Future and Lori Harvey partied it up Vegas style at a casino night bash at Lori’s Los Angeles crib on Wednesday night, dodging the hysteria that ensued amid the rumours that they had gone ahead and tied the knot. Future shared a series of Instagram stories from the event, which he appears to have thrown to celebrate one of his good friend’s birthdays. He filmed the unreal view at Lori’s mansion, writing, “Happy FBG Day BIG CUZ. love u forever #noigGEE.” He went on to post some clips of the casino-style setup, complete with professional roulette tables and card dealers. “Bring Vegas to the crib,” he wrote on one of the videos. Lori also brought her followers inside the Vegas-themed evening  Instagram stories, which appeared to be a major success.

The happy couple have been going strong for a while now. While it had already been suspected that the two of them were involved with each other, they made it official when they publicly confirmed their relationship during Lori’s birthday trip to Jamaica back in January. Since then, neither of them have been shy about expressing their affection for one another over social media, and there were even rumours spreading recently that they had gotten married.

There had already been whispers about their possible nuptials after one of Future’s alleged baby mamas revealed that he had told her he was going to tie the knot with Lori. Considering Future’s history of never settling down, it’s hard to believe that any of these claims are true, but mere speculation was enough to send the Internet into a frenzy. As usual, Future and Lori paid no mind to the chatter, choosing to bask in gambler’s paradise instead.

A Las Vegas strip club by the name of Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club released their very own coronavirus public service announcement. What originally began as a minimal outbreak in Wuhan, China has officially turned into a pandemic affecting people and countries across the globe. Italy and Iran were the first two countries outside of Asia to be massively affected by the disease and now, the life-threatening coronavirus has made its way to the United States. This past week, six new cases of the virus were confirmed in Los Angeles County in less than 24 hours causing officials to declare a state of emergency within the city. Now, one Las Vegas strip club is doing everything in their power to try and inform the masses about the disease. Justin Sullivan/Getty Images

While strip clubs aren’t particularly known for their cleanliness, Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club has stepped up their game to ensure that their dancers and guests will be provided with a coronavirus-free strip club experience. According to TMZ, the Las Vegas-based gentlemen’s club is taking extra precautions as they’ve hired a professional custodian company to sanitize the venue daily and hired additional janitors to clean the club on the spot throughout the night.

As for the video, the Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club staff and its team of dancers put on a dancing display mimicking the act of thoroughly washing their hands. Not a single word was said until the end of the PSA as a dancer seductively says “wash your hands,” into the camera. 

While the dancing and face mask bikini are genuinely entertaining, this public service announcement isn’t exactly educational. With that said, check out Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club coronavirus PSA in the video provided below and continue to wash your hands for the sake of everyone’s health. 

Since the Obamas left the White House, they’ve been living their best lives. While daughters Malia and Sasha Obama complete their higher education, former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle have been enjoying their lives outside of the political spotlight. They’ve shared images themselves of island vacations and recently, Michelle Obama was spotted in Las Vegas singing along to Christina Aguilera jams at the singer’s concert.

According to TMZ, it all went down at Planet Hollywood at the Zappos Theater on Wednesday (March 4) night. While Christina was making her way through the audience, she was flanked by a bevy of her dancers while belting out “Lady Marmalade.” One of them saw the former First Lady and decided to stand in front of her and give a little twerk before moving on.

Michelle took the encounter in stride and kept the party going as she gave a few air slaps and continued grooving in her seat long after he’d left. As fun of a time as she had, Michelle Obama wasn’t in Vegas strictly to see Christina. She regularly makes appearances as a guest speaker and was in Sin City for the Ultimate Software Connections Conference. Check out Michelle’s fun time at Christina Aguilera’s concert below.

The Lambs are are grieving the end of Mariah Carey‘s “The Butterfly Returns” residency in Las Vegas. The superstar singer has been gracing the stage at Caeser Palace’s The Colosseum. The long-running show began back in July 2018, and Saturday (February 29) will be Carey’s last concert. There are plenty of celebrities who are making their way to Las Vegas to watch Mariah in action before she takes her final bow, including Amber Rose.

The proud mother made sure she caught Mariah Carey’s “The Butterfly Returns” performance and while at The Colosseum, Amber was able to snap a photo with the singer. “When you’re both light skinned, bright skinned multiracial goddesses but one is talented and the other one is a hoe ? @mariahcarey Love you MiMi! Last night was Amazing!” Amber wrote along with the picture.

Amber’s caption was a hit among her friends who thought the head-tatted model’s quip was funny. Others, however, tried turning Amber’s words into a colorist issue. A few people jumped on her comments to call the caption “ignorant,” but Amber has developed the reputation of being a person who isn’t limited by political correctness. Take a look at the photo of the two women below.

It looks like luck was on Offset’s side this past weekend while down in Las Vegas for the Wilder x Fury fight. The Migos rapper took to his social media story to show off a casual one hundred grand that he won from the Aria casino.

With the chips stacked in rows of ten thousand stacks, the husband of Cardi B showed off his winnings, although it’s unclear where he won his money at. Craps or some sort of dice game would be a good guess. “We didn’t come to play today, we don’t come to play today,” Offset said as the camera displayed the chips before showing off the stacks of cash. “This is what we came to do to Vegas.”

While Offset may not be hurting for money as he’s flying private jets, hosting events, and performing sold out shows, an extra one hundred grand I’m sure is always appreciated. And it maybe needed as reports surfaced a couple days ago that the ATL rapper blew off a recent court date for a lawsuit he’s involved with for an outstanding $400,000 bill with a jewelry company. We’ll keep you posted on that moving forward, but in the meantime, look for new music to be on the way.

James Harden is currently enjoying the NBA All-Star break, having off until Thursday and partying it up in Las Vegas while he can. Although he attempted to remain low-key at Jewel Nightclub in his hoodie, that was no longer an option after Desiigner came through to perform a few of his hit records, luring The Beard to dance nearby. Debuting a brand new bearded look himself, the G.O.O.D. Music critic sang along to “Panda,” the song that forced everyone to pay attention to him in the first place. All eyes were on the 22-year-old when he ended up slipping, falling off the platform and onto James Harden.

In a video captured by TMZ, Desiigner can be seen jumping up-and-down as he periodically raised the microphone to his mouth, singing along to “Panda.” When he lost his footing though, the artist took a tumble right onto JH, who had a front-row seat to the performance. According to the source, the basketball star got right back up and was not injured, which would have broken the hearts of Houston Rockets fans worldwide. The fall took place at approximately 1:30 AM last night.

Watch it all go down below, and be sure to notice Desiigner’s new look. He’s got a pretty crazy beard going, himself.
