Congratulations to Drake on His Kodak Deal! It’s Always Nice to See a Young Guy Getting Money!!! -FUNK FLEX

Picture this: Drake, Trey Songz and Pitbull have been selected to be a part of Kodak’s “So Kodak” campaign. The artists will be featured in a series of commercials directed by Chris Robinson that will highlight the “share button” on their Easyshare M590 Digital Cameras. According to Drizzy: “Being on the road, I’m often away from family and friends. Kodak – with features like the Share Button – makes it easier to keep in touch, which is important to me,” said Grammy-nominated artist Drake. “I’m excited to be part of the So Kodak campaign since it is all about expressing yourself, something I strive to do in my music everyday.”


Man Kills His Mother, Then Himself After Wounding Doctor at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Maryland

Baltimore, Maryland (CNN) — A man distraught about his mother’s health shot and wounded a doctor at Baltimore’s prestigious Johns Hopkins Hospital on Thursday before killing his mother and taking his own life, police said. The gunman was getting an update on his mother’s medical condition “when he became emotionally distraught” and pulled a pistol out of his waistband, Baltimore Police Commissioner Frederick Bealefeld said. He shot the doctor, then retreated to his mother’s room, Bealefeld told reporters. Bealefeld identified the gunman as 50-year-old Warren Davis, and the mother as Jean Davis. But police later said “Warren Davis was an alias,” and the gunman’s real name was unknown. They continued to identify the dead woman as the gunman’s mother. Hospital officials said they could not disclose any details about what illness afflicted the gunman’s mother, citing federal privacy laws. Police moved in and closed off the floor shortly after the 11 a.m. shooting. About 1:30 p.m., officers moved into the room to find the man and his mother dead from single gunshot wounds to the head, Bealefeld said. The doctor, whose name was not released, was rushed to surgery for an abdominal wound and is expected to survive, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.

Brett Favre Reaches Out to Weezy in Rikers

Recently, Young Money President Mack Maine sat down with MTV News and among other things, spoke on how Lil Wayne’s favorite player, Minnesota Vikings’ Brett Favre, reached out to the incarcerated rapper and has him in high spirits. “Brett reached out, and he made sure I told Wayne that,” Mack said in the interview. “That was the first thing [Brett] asked when he got back to camp, really. [Vikings tackle] Bryant McKinnie is one of our friends, B-Mac. [Favre] asked B-Mac, ‘How you been?’ B-Mac answered. And he was like, ‘How’s Wayne?’ That was his second question to B-Mac. Those two are real good friends. He said, ‘Let [Wayne] know I been praying for him and send him my love.’ So I let Wayne know that. He said, ‘You just brightened my spirits up for the rest of the month.’ He was real excited.” Weezy is expected to be released from Rikers Island on November 4th, and I’m sure we’ll catch him in attendance of more than a few games!
