Safaree Samuels does not trust the government, especially when it comes to the hysteria surrounding an epidemic like the coronavirus. As the deadly disease spreads rapidly and more and more cases are confirmed each day, folks are taking serious precautions when it comes to protecting their health. The country of Italy has been shut down, major events around the world have been cancelled, and thousands have been quarantined.

However, not everyone thinks that the public is getting all the information necessary about the virus. Safaree took to Twitter to start a dialogue about the fear that has been instilled into civilians about contracting coronavirus. The rapper and reality star noted that folks should not let the viral epidemic control their whole lives.
"Stop letting the carona [sic] virus stop y’all from living y’all lives," he tweeted on Tuesday. "I don’t trust the government. They got something to do with it. They shoulda stopped certain flights from coming in to America since December. Go chuck up Innah yuh mumma trump !!" While Safaree may not be too worried, other celebrities, like Card B, certainly are. Cardi admitted that she's pretty terrified of the coronavirus, and that she's stocking up on food in preparation.
Tyler Perry Gets Second Autopsy On Nephew Who Died In Prison
Tyler Perry has hired a medical practitioner to perform another autopsy on his nephew, Gavin Porter, who allegedly died by suicide in prison.
Tyler Perry is getting to the bottom of his nephew’s suspicious death by ordering another autopsy on the young man, after prison officials told his family that he had committed suicide behind bars. On Wednesday, TMZ reported that Gavin Porter, the son of Tyler’s sister, Melva Porter, had been found dead in his cell at a prison facility near St. Helena Parish in Louisiana around 8:00pm on Tuesday night. Gavin was serving 20 years for shooting and killing his father in front of Melva back in 2016. Prison officials informed Melva and the rest of Gavin’s family that he had committed suicide by hanging himself from his bedsheets. According to TMZ, Gavin’s family is suspicious about the alleged circumstances of his death, and are not entirely certain there was no foul play involved. After all, Gavin had been placed in solitary confinement after getting in a fight with another inmate over the weekend and had been checked on by prison guards only two hours before he was found dead.

Now, the famed filmmaker has hired a well-known pathologist, Dr. Michael Baden, to perform a second autopsy on Gavin. Dr. Baden has been involved in plenty of famous cases, including John F. Kennedy, O.J. Simpson, and Jeffrey Epstein. “I want to be clear that we are not a family of conspiracy theorists and want to believe that there was no foul play just as the sheriff said publicly,” Tyler stated. In regards to his 26-year-old nephew’s life coming to end so soon, Tyler told TMZ, “Call me naive, but it was my hope that after serving his time, and really reflecting and showing much remorse and asking God for forgiveness, that he would have been able to come to work for me, joining all the other former inmates who work for me and turn his life around just as they have. But that day will never come.”
