Nissan Z Proto Debuts on September 15, Here’s How to Watch It Live
Finally, Nissan will show off the next-generation Z sports car in the coming weeks. Well, at least in prototype form. The Nissan Z Proto will make its official debut on September 15. Nissan teased the car in a new video, but we already have a pretty good idea of what it will look like. An older video flaunted the Z’s sexy and streamlined design, including its long hood and rounded haunches. The car features distinct throwback cues such as a C-pillar-mounted Z badge, sloping rear glass, and round headlamps that recall the design of the car’s earlier generations. It’s still unclear what will power the new Z. The car may get a 4.0-liter V-6 as rumors of a 400Z badge would suggest. Or it could pack the twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 that powers Infiniti’s Red Sport 400 models...
Authorities Offered Breonna Taylor’s Ex-Boyfriend Less Time If He Implicated Her In His Alleged Crimes
Source: Jon Cherry / Getty Black Lives Matter protests continue to march along in various cities across the United States and justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Jacob Blake remains on Amerikkka’s “To Do” list. But it seems like the Louisville Metro Police Department is pulling out all the stops to ensure that the three officers who took the life of Breonna Taylor avoid accountability and walk away scotfree. After months of trying to justify the killing of Breonna Taylor during an no-knock police raid earlier this year, it seems like LMPD hatched a new scheme to smear the reputation of the 26-year-old emergency medical technician by offering her ex-boyfriend less prison time if he falsely implicated Taylor as his partner-in-crime. According to Louisville attorney, Sam Aguiar...
Kanye West Claims GOP Isn’t Funding His Presidential Pipe Dream
Source: Screenshot / Youtube Kanye West has all intentions of continuing his presidential campaign despite the fact some outside observers believe he’s rigging the election for President Donald Trump. In a new interview, the Chicago producer and designer claims the Republican Party isn’t financially backing his campaign, then added the fact he’s richer than Trump. Yeezy, speaking in that measured, media-trained tone that doesn’t sound like the Kanye of old, sat down with Nick Cannon and the host’s Cannon’s Class program on YouTube. In the first part of the chat, West gets immediately into the chatter that he’s dealing with mental demons but it’s clear from the interview that he’s lucid and aware enough to recognize what his journey looks like from the outside. After a healthy defense of Ta...

Brandy Vs Monica’s ‘Verzuz’ Was a Record Breaker
The Brandy vs Monica “Verzuz” wasn’t just a hit, it was huge. The R&B legends smashed all “Verzuz” records, organizers say, en route to pulling-in more than 6 million views.

The veteran artists used the sparring session to “remind the world how next-level their respective catalogs,” wrote Billboard’s Carl Lamarre.

Illicit Rave In Norway Results In 27 Poisoned from Carbon Monoxide
Illegal gatherings have been on the rise in recent weeks in both the United States and Europe amid the continuance of COVID-19 restrictions around public events. One such gathering took place in Oslo, Norway over the weekend, where an estimated 200 attendees partied in a private, secret bunker. The incident nearly turned fatal, however, for several attendees, who were hospitalized with carbon monoxide poisoning in the immediate aftermath of the event. When emergency vehicles arrived on the scene, seven patrons were lying unconscious. Portable generators used to power the stage’s lighting and sound system are the suspected source of the leak with one unnamed attendee commenting that this particular event was the largest in scale to occur in the “Rave Cave” in several...
President Donald Trump Compares Cop Who Shot Jacob Blake To A Bad Golfer
Source: MANDEL NGAN / Getty The shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisc. has sparked the usual debate over the use of police force and how race might play a significant part in how it is administered. President Donald Trump, speaking about the Blake shooting, took an unusual stance by comparing the officer who shot Blake seven times in the back to someone having a bad day on the golf course. In a new interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham that aired Monday (August 31), President Trump offered some remarks about the Blake shooting, which has become yet another crusade for national law enforcement reform. However, Trump both decried and seemingly defended the actions of the officers that confronted Blake last week which led to the incident witnessed by Blake’s children. “They can do 10...
Alabama Coach Nick Saban Joins Black Lives Matter March
Source: Icon Sportswire / Getty College football is a vital part of the fabric of Southern America, and typically isn’t an arena where political statements are made. However, the University of Alabama football, with head coach Nick Saban in tow, marched on behalf of the Black Lives Matter movement. As reported by local outlet WBMA, Saban, joined with members of his team on Monday (August 31) in Tuscaloosa, Ala. It appears to be the first such organized march made by the team, with the moment inspired by the instances of racial and social injustice nationwide, in particular Black people being shot by police. “Throughout this process I’ve learned a lot from our players. I don’t get to the see the world in the same lens a lot of our players do. I respect and appreciate the lens that they see ...
