How rapper XXXTentaction died

American rapper XXXTentacion has been gunned down north of Miami while shopping for a motorcycle. The 20-year-old, whose real name was Jahseh Onfroy, was shot in broad daylight near the motorcycle store in Deerfield Beach, the Broward County sheriff’s department said. Videos taken at the scene on Monday and shared on social media showed the rapper’s slumped body in the driver’s seat of a black BMW sports car as a bystander attempted to take his pulse. A Florida native identifiable for his spiked-up dreadlocks, XXXTentacion found a wide following by uploading songs on sharing site SoundCloud, with a dark, often muffled style of hip-hop full of lyrics about his depression and past crime.

Train just like a UFC Fighter

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is filled with fighters whose conditioning, stamina and toughness make them among the world's best athletes. While most of us will never step into the octagon, we can still learn from their training and discipline. For advice on how to get into tip-top shape, we spoke with Duncan French, Ph. D, (pictured below) the VP of Performance at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas. Stamina What you do doesn't matter as much as how you do it. "Your heart and lungs don't know the difference between exercises," French says. "They just know intensity and volume." Fighters gravitate toward jumping rope, track work, swimming, assault bikes, and vertical climbers, because they tend to use both the upper and lower body. Try: Jumping rope, especially double-unders (where the rope passes underneath the feet twice with every jump). Work up to 3-5 three-minute rounds of unbroken jumps with a minute of rest in between.

The gated multi-million dollar home, Mercedes AMG S63 daily driver, dozen Hublot watches and $15,000 custom gold .338 Lapua Sniper Rifle are just extras. None of which came easy.

Wizkid and Shatta wale reconciled and even performed at event in Ghana

Recall, Shatta once threatened Wizkid, warning him not to come to Ghana. Apparently, it all started when the self-acclaimed king of Ghanaian dancehall music criticized Nigerian music sensation, Wizkid. In the interview with Kasapa FM, Shatta expressed his displeasure over how Ghanaians, especially celebrities like, put Wikzid on a pedestal. According to him, there is nothing exceptional about the afrobeats singer. He said Wizkid should be starstruck when he sees him (Shatta Wale). "I will not see Wizkid and be stunned, I rather want him to see me and be amazed because I don't see anything extraordinary about him, even though he claims to the best African artiste", he said. This, of course, caused an uproar on social media, with many Nigerians and even Ghanaians attacking Shatta. Even some Ghanaians apologized to Nigerians for the Shatta's behaviour.. and we didn't even see it coming. Shatta during one of his rant, took to Facebook to share a video

Public holiday on June 12 in Lagos

Running on nothing - By Daniel Precious Chinaza

I could see the tears through her smile. The wider her grin, the wetter her cheeks.  She drove me on a chair with tyres to the refugee camp where the others were.  The atmosphere was moody. The streets were quiet. Blood stained walls,  body parts separated from bodies,  the sight of intestines bulging out from lifeless bodies would nauseate anyone. The scene of bullets and grenade bringing people down played in my head for the fifteenth time after the blood bath.  We got to the camp, the sight made Victoria cry.  She wrote again in her little white book. Children cried, their cry lacked tears, their sobs were weak and faint.  The others nibbled on cracked and dry nipples. The men with heads hanging loosely on their necks.  Their eyes were open but blinded with agony.  Victoria spoke to someone with the little black box. In minutes five large birds were hovering over us and in another minute we were all inside them moving up into the sky.  I looked down and remembered how I ran even wi
