I snatched this video from Twitter and I am in complete aw and disbelief and love. I’m having extreme mixed emotions. I don’t know wether to freak out or be in lust… imagine having access to this kind of mulah.
Everyone knows I love money but this might be too much cash. I wouldn’t be able to trust a soul with this kind of money not even to guard it. How the hell would you know if any was missing?
Twitter claims this is drug money. I cannot confirm those claims but it’s not a far stretch seeing as cartels are known to make billions. Guesstimates are as high as $500 billion/year. Who knows the actual total but I can’t imagine the souls and tragedies tied to this money. All drug money is dirty, the drug game is the dirtiest.
If you had to guess how much do you think is in the stash? Who do you think it belongs to?

If you lived in or around Atlanta during the 90s, chances are you are very familiar with Freaknik. Legendary is not a big enough word to describe this event also considered the black college spring break.
I’ve never actually attended the real Freaknik because I was a young teen during the 90s. My mother wouldn’t dare allow me to go to Atlanta for this kind of debauchery but I do remember girls my age were going to “The A” to turn up.
I moved to Atlanta in 1998, the official last year of the festival but by then it was already over. Police barricaded all the streets and directed traffic out of the city. There was no fun to be had.
Living in Atlanta for as long as I have, I know Freaknik had to be annoying for those that lived in the city. Atlanta traffic is already the worst, imagine have thousands of college age kids partying and twerking in the streets. The powers that be have since shut all of it down but the freaky stories live on.
Promoters have tried to recreate and resurrect Freaknik but it has never made an official comeback, and it probably never will again.
Baller Alert — The iconic Atlanta festival that ran between the mid-1980s to the 1990s was a congregation of HBCU college students during the spring break season. Originally beginning as a picnic, the gathering grew each year before becoming a full-out festival that ballooned to thousands of visitors. Eventually, it would evolve into a days-long event filled with concerts, dance contests, parties, and even job fairs aimed at young Black professionals. Every element of this cultural phenomenon will be explored in the doc titled “Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told.”
Alanta producer Jermaine Dupri and Miami bass pioneer Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell will serve as executive producers on the film. Luke was a frequent staple at Freaknik, so often aligned with the festival that many people believed he had a hand in starting it. However, his music became the soundtrack for this lively yearly party. Sadly, by 1998 the Atlanta Committee for Black College Spring Breakmoved to end the festival due to safety concerns, particularly sex assault claims and violence caused by a handful of troublemakers that ruined the festivities for everyone. Since its demise, many have attempted to recreate the magic, another factor the film will cover.
As of now, the film does not have a premiere date.
Damn! If you came up in the 90s era you know about Coolio. His hit song “Gangster’s Paradise” dominated the airwaves, charts & music television networks like MTV, VH1 & BET.
The video was dope as hell.
It’s sad to see another legend go down due to drug abuse. Fentanyl is so dangerous and the narcotic is being found in more and more street drugs & pills, and at an extremely alarming rate. Sometimes the user has no idea they are even consuming the drug. The effects can be deadly.
RIP Coolio.
Baller Alert —The “Gangsta’s Paradise” rapper’s manager Jarel (Jarez) Posey, confirmed Thursday that he died due to fentanyl. Coolio’s family also said he had traces of heroin and methamphetamines in his system. Investigators also determined that the rapper’s severe asthma and decades-long cigarette use also played a factor in his death and his body’s inability to fight back, TMZ reports.
