Rap Mogul Jay Z Teams With The Innocence Project To Raise $1M To Investigate Wrongful Convictions In Midwest

Hip Hop Wired — According to The Huffington Post, Jay-Z has once again partnered with The Innocence Project.

This time their focus is on the Midwest. According to the announcement Team Roc, the criminal justice division of Roc Nation, has helped raise over one million dollars for the non-for-profit organization.

Tricia Rojo Bushnell, Executive Director of the Midwest Innocence Project, called the effort “a huge investment”. As per the press release the funds will ultimately strengthen their ability to look at these cases which is going to shine a light on what the group needs to do to provide a just criminal legal system in Wyandotte County.

Back in September Team Roc filed a lawsuit against the police department in Kansas City. “The KCKPD is entrusted by the public to help maintain peace in the community. Yet, for years, it appears that officers have abused their power and engaged in wrongdoing,” the filing read. “To the extent that the KCKPD did not take any steps to remediate these issues, the public should have a right to know so they can organize and take appropriate steps to effect change.”

Is Singer Lizzo Trolling Us At This Point?

Plus sized songstress Lizzo put on an eye-popping display as she attended Cardi B’s dancehall-themed birthday celebration.

The 33 year old full figured award winner turned heads as she showed up to the festivities in a full length sheer purple dress over a thong and titty pastries.

Lizzo has gotten a lot of attention lately more-so for her style choices and online antics than her music.

At this point I am at a loss for words. I gotta believe this is trolling. I’m all for self love and confidence but this is just starting to feel forced.

And where are her real friends? Smh.

What’s your opinion? Does Lizzo need to stop or keep going?
