Celebrity Criminals – The Pen Hustle With Brandy Cavalli

TAKE THE POLL: Will Trump Pardon Diddy?

So it looks like Diddy aka Brother Love will be doing some more time after being sentenced to 4 years in the feds today. With credit for time served, he has 36 months left to serve.

No need to rehash this story because we have all heard enough.

I ain’t one to judge or rejoice in other people’s misery but after hearing and seeing probably a fraction of what was going on behind the scenes with Brother Love, I am definitely side eyeing the hell out of him.

I just can’t understand why extremely rich people do the shit they do. Honestly, in today’s world of exposé, I’m surprised the behavior went on so long before it got out (in the news) although industry people knew. Maybe not to the full extent, but alot of people knew and protected the behavior.

If it wasn’t for Cassie, it might have never gotten out.

Rapper Meek Mill No Longer Has a Felony Record

Philly’s own, rapper Meek Mill is officially a free man.

Meek announced alongside an interview with the biggest boss Rick Ross that his felony convictions have officially been wiped clean from his record, thus allowing him the freedom to move about like us regular people.

Congrats to Meek Mill because during my time working on criminal and prison reform I know this is actually a huge deal.

A game changer.

The prison pipeline for black men has been catastrophic and ruined many lives even after redemption. The sad part is once the criminal background is marred with felonies, it limits the quality of life.

It’s like you almost belong to the government and most jobs and housing check perform criminal background checks. It can affect so many other important aspects of life including basic human rights such as voting. (I have always thought taking away a person’s rights to vote was ridiculous)

Having a felonious record is a very difficult conviction to overcome, but thankfully there are programs that can assist with record expungement.
