Tupac Murder Suspect Keefe D Denied Bail Over Life Story Profit Concerns
Tupac murder suspect Keefe D will have to ride things out in jail as he awaits trial. A judge has denied his bail over him potentially selling his life story. As reported by Huffington Post the Compton, Los Angeles native did not receive favorable news regarding his freedom. On Wednesday, June 26 Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny ruled against the request citing concerns he would profit from his freedom. Last week his legal team asked for their client to be released after they secured the $750,000 bond. In recent weeks controversial music executive Cash “Wack 100” Jones has teased the idea of bonding Keefe D in exchange for the rights to his story. The business proposition seemed to have some legs to it as Wack discussed the business deal with Duane Davis Jr., Keefe D’s son, on Clubhouse.

The Black Girl’s Travel And Beauty Guide To Curaçao
While I’ve visited a few countries in the Caribbean, I can say without a doubt Curaçao is officially one of my favorites on the list! The serene beaches, delicious food, and hospitality are unmatched. Although the small Caribbean country is just 37 miles from Venezuela, Curaçao is very multicultural and very Black. Before the tiny island was colonized by the Dutch and Spanish in the 15th and 16th century, the indigenous South American people of Curaçao, the Arawaks, roamed their land freely. After European and Spanish influences infiltrated the country and millions of people were transported from Africa to the Curaçao shores during the trans-Atlantic slave trade, the country became a true melting pot of cultures, languages, and food. Perhaps that history is what makes Curaçao so flavorful. At any time you can hear the people easily switching between Dutch, English, Spanish, and the island’s Creole language, Papiemento. Here are a few of my travel essentials for a serene and adventurous vacation on one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful islands.
