XXXTentacion’s Girlfriend Welcomes First Child With the Late Rapper 7 Months After His Death





XXXTentacion’s baby boy is here. Jenesis Sanchez gave birth to the late rapper’s child on Saturday, January 26, just seven months after his murder.

Sanchez and Cleopatra Bernard — the mom of the Florida-born artist whose real name was Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy — announced the arrival of the newborn in a statement shortly after the birth.

“We’re happy to confirm that baby and mother are healthy. Gekyume’s name is derived from a word X created prior to his passing, which means ‘a different state’ or ‘next’ universe of thought,” the statement read. “XXXTentacion specifically chose this name for his first born son; his family is honored to fulfill his wish and shower baby Gekyume with love.”



An Instagram Story posted to XXXTentacion’s page showed an emoji of a baby boy with “Yume has officially arrived” written alongside it, hinting at the little one’s nickname.




Men accused of stealing over $300,000 in underwear remanded

Two men were remanded to prison on Friday, after they were accused of stealing close to $400,000 in items from a Stabroek Market vendor.

The charge read by Magistrate Leron Daly, alleged that on January 23, at the Stabroek Market wharf, Harry Bhawmie and Wesley Ferdinand, stole a quantity of underwear valued $346,000, and 30 slippers valued $45,000.


The two men, who have no fixed place of abode, pleaded not guilty to the charge, however, Police Prosecutor Sanj Singh objected to bail based on the fact that the defendants were found in possession of some of the articles.

Facebook Denies Half Of Its Users Are Fake Accounts



Fake profiles on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram are pretty common, whether they are used for spam marketing, scams, and so on. However we imagine that most of these platforms probably have a handle on such matters, or do they? That’s what Facebook critic Aaron Greenspan seems to suggest in a report (via Mashable) where he alleges that half of Facebook’s reported monthly active users are actually fake.

According to the report, “The fact of the matter is that Facebook does not now and will not ever have an accurate way to measure its fake account problem. Taking all of these factors into account, we estimate that 50 percent or more of Facebook’s current MAUs are actually fake.” Greenspan and Facebook have a bit of a contentious past over the term “the Face Book”.

This trademark issue was said to have been resolved way back in 2009, but it seems that Greenspan is still not a huge fan of the company. On their end, Facebook has denied Greenspan’s allegations where in a statement issued by the company, “This is unequivocally wrong and responsible reporting means reporting facts, even if it’s about fake accounts.”

Like we said, fake accounts are to be expected of most social networks and online services, but whether or not it is as high as 50% remains to be seen.
