Sexyy Red was arrested at Newark Liberty International Airport on Saturday following a “brawl” between her and her people and another group. According to surveillance footage obtained by TMZ, the rapper’s crew and the opposing group were already going at it at the airport gate before Red even entered the frame. While the footage shows that Red — birth name Janae Nierah Wherry — did not technically make contact with anyone during the brawl, she is seen picking up “a stand on the ground and waving it around as if she was ready to use it on someone.”

So you want to be rich. But how will you know when you've achieved it? It all depends on your point of reference. If you have enough food and clean water, you're already wealthier than millions of people worldwide. Own a house and a car? You've surpassed many billions more. Wealth is also relative to your location. A salary of $100k might place you among the elite in an economically depressed area but might equate to poverty in more affluent regions. Therefore, being rich might not necessarily mean having more money but rather living in a place where your money stretches further.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

The unmitigated gall of some white people. Despite the number of times we tell them not to use the N-word casually, too many of them still do. Just look at Lilly Gaddis.
