Lil Uzi Vert says he doesn’t believe in Satan despite raising eyebrows with some song lyrics proclaiming otherwise.

Lil Uzi Vert is responding to the increasing backlash from fans and the hip-hop community after he said in a recent performance at Rolling Loud California that he believed in Satan and persuaded his girlfriend and City Girls rapper JT of the same.

Uzi was seen wearing a bright red suit and had pentagon shapes on his belt and hair and weirdly colored eye contact while seemingly mimicking a possessed person. In the track, there is a lyric, “I make a City Girl believe in Satan,” which made many of his own fans side-eye him.

The rapper has received much backlash from the Christian community as well as fellow artists like Summer Walker and G-Unit rapper Tony Yayo, but now he is backtracking and defending himself as just making music and art.

According to the rapper, the track was a preview for his upcoming album “Pink Tape,” set for release later this year. The rapper also denied that he believed in Satan but said that it was a way of speaking metaphorically. He did not go on to say what the meaning behind the lyrics was, but he did mention that JT was right there when the song was made.

“I just say whatever I want in my songs. It’s just like my freedom of speech,” Uzi told TMZ. “I come from a real religious household but I just like, me finding living my life and being, like, I guess ‘an adult,’ I kind of just say, you know, anything I want to say. Even if I offend people, I don’t mean to offend people but if they don’t like it, they have the option to turn it off.”

The City Girls rapper has not reacted to backlash despite hundreds of persons calling on her and Yung Miami to address the line.

The rapper also asserted he had a right to decide how he wanted his songs to sound and also seemingly responded to Yayo nothing that he had a religious upbringing and as an adult, he was free to explore whatever theme for his music and that the line was not what he believed in reality.

Last week, Summer Walker called out the rapper for the lyrics on her Instagram Story.

“I make a City Girl believe in Satan. I Be genuinely curious have these people ever seen or heard a demon before..? Or it’s just a trend cause I feel like if you have you’d stop playin..really nothing funny or cute about it. May God be with y’all [prayer emoji],” she wrote.

Yayo also said in an invited comment, “That was a little too crazy for me,” before adding, “I believe in God. I’m very religious, came up in the church, so anything that has to do with Satan I can’t rock with.”

Tuna Fishing In The Caribbean: A Compact Guide

/0 Comments/in /by

Black Immigrant Daily News

News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Mon. Mar. 13, 2023: If you’re looking for a vacation destination that is best for tuna fishing, the Caribbean should be on top of your list. The place has numerous fishing grounds, spoiling you for choices. Additionally, you can use multiple fishing methods and enjoy your fishing experience.

Thanks to its rich coral reefs, the Caribbean is home to several species. One of the commonly found fish species is tuna. However, several factors could influence the success of your fishing trip to the Caribbean. In fact, you may need more than just a single day to maximize your fishing experience. Therefore, a long-range fishing trip could come in handy. A long range fishing guide could help you plan your stay.

On that note, here’s a compact guide to Tuna fishing in the Caribbean:

Common Tuna Fishing Methods

Depending on the species and adaptability, you can use several methods to catch tuna fish. But, you must be an experienced angler to settle on a specific technique.

Here are some common fishing techniques that can help you have a successful fishing experience in the Caribbean:

Trolling: This technique involves maintaining a speed of 5-8 knots. It’s also specific to some tuna species. Remember, the deeper you set the bait, the slower you troll. You might want to spread your tackle from the back of the boat, creating an illusion of a school of fish and luring your prey to the bait. If you’re alert, you can make an easy kill.

Chumming: This technique works best if you’re fishing in shallow waters. It aims at bringing the fish up and making the kill before it can swim deeper. It has proven appropriate for catching yellowfin.

Casting Spin Reels: Anglers use fast spinning reels to lure the bluefin, one of the heaviest tuna species weighing nearly a hundred pounds. High-end spin reels can easily make the kill. You might want to boat the fish once you trap it. However, if you’re after the experience’s thrill, you can carry it to the shores.

Considering the various techniques, you should first research the species you want to catch when fishing in the Caribbean.

Tuna Fish Characteristics You Should Know

Tuna is one of the most expensive fish, making the species a highly coveted catch. However, some countries support selling sustainably caught tuna.  Every angler would love to catch several of them throughout their fishing career.

So, before you head out to catch the tuna, it’d be best to learn some characteristics and adaptations. This way, you can outsmart them and go for a quick kill.  Here’s a list of some features you should know:

They’re warm-blooded and can thus stay in the tropics, such as the Caribbean.

They’re endothermic and can maintain their body temperature even in cool waters.

They have a missile-like shape that gives them a fast speed ability underwater.

The best time to hunt them is when they’re looking for food.

These unique features can help you create an excellent trail when hunting for tuna. Bring appropriate bait, such as small fish like eels or squids. The wrong lure could spook them, and they’ll run fast into hiding.

Best Seasons For Tuna Fishing In The Caribbean

The Caribbean should top your list of destinations if you adore marine life. But fishing is best during specific seasons. Water and wind changes contribute to the presence of fish in the sea. Some will migrate to hotter areas while others move to cooler regions. It also means some can go beyond the safe points, making it challenging to fish around that time.

As such, it’s best to know when to go fishing in the Caribbean. High fishing seasons are from January to June; you’d want to visit within this period.

Some fish species are only caught inshore. Therefore, if you’re fishing offshore, you might not get to some specific species. For instance, Tuna can only be caught if you’re deep fishing.

They’re also seasonal species. Although you can fish the yellowfin all year round, there are peak seasons when you can easily catch your prey. For such reasons, to make the most of your tuna fishing experience, planning your trip around the peak seasons would be best.

Tuna Species Found In The Caribbean

As highlighted above, there are several tuna species. However, you can only find some specific species when fishing in the Caribbean. They include the following:

Yellowfin

Bigeye

Skipjack

Albacore

Pacific bluefin

Depending on the species you’re after, you should also consider an appropriate fishing technique. For instance, tropical tunas such as the big eye and yellowfin can only be caught when fishing offshore. Therefore, prepare to go deep fishing to increase your chances of catching the Tuna.

Conclusion

The Caribbean is an ideal place to go for tuna fishing. To enjoy the experience, plan your fishing trip around the peak seasons. This way, you’ll have increased chances of catching the fish. Remember to bring the right gear and polish your fishing skills for a guaranteed catch.

Commonwealth Day to be celebrated around the world

Commonwealth Day will be celebrated on Monday with observances, speeches, exhibitions and cultural events across the 56 Commonwealth member countries.

With ‘Forging a Sustainable and Peaceful Common Future’ as its theme, the day aims to unite 2.5 billion Commonwealth citizens in celebration of their shared values and principles, and in pursuit of a common future, centred on sustainability and peace.

This will be the first Commonwealth Day presided over by His Majesty King Charles III as King and Head of the Commonwealth. The day will also mark the tenth anniversary of the signing of the Commonwealth Charter, which outlines the values and principles that unify the 56 Commonwealth countries, representing one-third of humanity.

In her Commonwealth Day Message, the Commonwealth Secretary-General Patricia Scotland KC, paid tribute to Her late Majesty The Queen for her seven decades of service and welcomed His Majesty The King for his first Commonwealth Day as the new Head of the Commonwealth.

Speaking on the role of the Commonwealth in her message, she said:

“We stand together now to face the challenges of the moment and seize the opportunities of tomorrow. Where there is violence and conflict, we work for peace. Where there is insecurity, we protect the culture, process and institutions of democracy. Where there is poverty, we tackle it. Where there is injustice, we challenge it.

“Where our brothers and sisters have their lives threatened and disrupted by the impacts of climate change, we stand with them, working tirelessly for climate action and a more sustainable world. I believe profoundly that our family of 56 nations and 2.5 billion people is stronger, more vibrant, more connected and more purposeful than ever.”

Drawing attention to the growing co-operation within the Commonwealth at a time of polarisation, Secretary-General Scotland added: “Our unique qualities and advantages mean that the Commonwealth in 2023 is not simply a part of the international system, it is a beacon within it. These qualities shine in the fact that, with a multilateral system under strain, the Commonwealth is growing, precisely because of what we stand for and what we can deliver.”

She continued: “So, on this tenth anniversary of our [Commonwealth] Charter, as we renew our commitment to its values and to each other, let us resolve together to ensure that in the years to come, we make the peaceful and sustainable common future we all strive for a reality for the whole Commonwealth.”

Around the Commonwealth, cities will host inter-faith, multi-cultural observances to mark the day. One of the largest gatherings will be the traditional service at Westminster Abbey in London and will be attended by The King, the Commonwealth Secretary-General, senior government officials, other dignitaries and hundreds of young people.

At the service, the theme will be expressed through musical performances, testimonies and readings from individuals representing several Commonwealth countries, including ‘Amalgamation Choir’, an all-female choir from Cyprus.

Commonwealth Day has been celebrated on the second Monday in March every year since 1977. In recent years, there has been a shift away from a single-day observance towards a full-week celebration, with Commonwealth Day as its focal point.

This year, as part of the Commonwealth of Nations Flag for Peace initiative, each Commonwealth country and every UK city will receive a flag, which they can raise on Commonwealth Day in celebration of the values of the Commonwealth Charter, including democracy, human rights, sustainable development, equality and respect.

Parliamentarians, mayors and high commissioners in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Americas, the Pacific and Europe will also mark the day with various activities, including speeches and cultural events.

The Commonwealth Secretariat has also produced a special quiz for students to learn more about the modern Commonwealth and its diverse membership. Schools around the Commonwealth can download and use the quiz free of charge.

US Coast Guard offloads more than US$160m in narcotics seized in Caribbean Sea

The United States Coast Guard says a crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Spencer offloaded in Port Everglades, Florida about 4,810 kilos of cocaine worth over US$160.3 million.

The drug was seized in the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean.

Along with the illicit narcotics, the US Coast Guard said eight suspected smugglers who were also apprehended, face prosecution in US federal court by the US Department of Justice.

The US Coast Guard said the offloaded drugs were interdicted during three separate operations in the international waters of the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

The crews were from the US Coast Guard Cutter Spencer (WMEC 905), USS Milwaukee (LCS 5) with embarked USCG Law Enforcement Detachment 104, Royal Netherlands Navy Ship HNLMS Holland (P840) with embarked USCG Law Enforcement Detachment 40, and a USCG Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron helicopter.

The US Coast Guard said that, initially, a suspect vessel was “detected and monitored” by US or allied military or law enforcement personnel coordinated by Joint Interagency Task Force-South based in Key West, Florida.

“Once interdiction becomes imminent, the law enforcement phase of the operation begins, and control of the operation shifts to the US Coast Guard throughout the interdiction and apprehension,” it said.

Chrisean Rock Shuts Down Pregnant Doubters With Baby Bump Photos

Black Immigrant Daily News

Chrisean Rock seemingly shut down doubters and naysayers, including her boyfriend Blueface, on Saturday as she showed off what appears to be her growing baby bump in a new photoshoot.

The ‘Crazy in Love’ cast member shared several photos of herself in an orange outfit- shorts with no underwear showing off what looks like another Blueface tribute tattoo and an oversized shirt that was unbuttoned to show off her stomach.

In December last year, Chrisean Rock claimed that she was pregnant following break-up rumors between her and Blueface. Many, including Blueface’s mother, Karlissa Saffold, shared her thoughts publicly that she didn’t believe that Zeus reality TV star was pregnant.

Others also questioned whether she was pregnant, especially as Rock has been seen drinking and partying and even lifting heavy weights during her pregnancy. Her stomach appeared to protrude in the undated photos she posted on Saturday without a caption that no doubt left many comments and engagements as some felt they could see the blossoming pregnancy.

An eye-catching tattoo just above her pubic areas also caught the attention of her followers. The tattoo read, “Johnathan’s p*ssy,” adding to the almost half a dozen tattoos she already has of the “Thotiana” rapper.

In the meantime, fans also weighed in as they questioned if she was pregnant. “I believe it when she turn sideways or something. I don’t see a baby bump. I see her poking her stomach out,” one said. Another added, “Y’all want this girl to be pregnant sooo bad.. meanwhile she out here drinking and smoking.. smh.”

Rock and Blueface appear to be in a better place in recent weeks after her initial pregnancy announcement, in which Blueface denied being the father and accused her of being promiscuous.

He also said she had a substance abuse problem. “Alcohol isn’t her problem her mentality is her problem all you people on here making excuses for a lack of self-control an irrational behavior is contributing to the problem #accountability,” Blueface wrote on Twitter.

Blueface also denied that he was aggravating Rock and causing her to fight or have meltdowns.

“When she displays this type of irrational behavior on baddies or blue girls club you guys applaud an cheer but when it’s a different setting an it doesn’t look as good you guys want it to be everybody else fault this is how she carry herself with or without me,” he said.

Chrisean Rock, who also shared she was excited to be pregnant, showed herself on video asking medical personnel whether she would hear one or three heartbeats since she would like to have triplets since that’s how many she aborted in the past.

Bounty Killer Calls Mr. Vegas A ‘Clout Chaser’ Over Police Comments

Black Immigrant Daily News

The dancehall legend calls his musical nemesis a clout chaser in his clap back.

Bounty Killer is defending himself against serious allegations by Mr. Vegas that he encourages the killings of law enforcement officers in the country. Jamaica’s crime situation has posed a challenge for police, who say they are underpaid and overworked, but this has not stopped cops from attempting to keep things under control. Unlike other countries, cops are not targeted specifically for carrying out their job.

However, a video of a passionate Bounty Killer unleashing his anger on traffic cops led to Mr. Vegas calling the Prime Minister to investigate the artist for seemingly encouraging harm to officers.

On Saturday, the “Living Dangerously” artist shared a reminder that he is not an enemy of police or law and order and that he is always in support of the efforts of the police.

The artist shared a throwback photo with former National Security Minister Bobby Montague in which he and fellow artist Ninjaman supported the thrust of the ministry and the training of police officers on the island. Killer also called Mr. Vegas a clout chaser for commenting.

“Lonely b**ch did u tag the @jcf_recruitingoffice and show them this six years [ago] and remember u said that I’m a informer for motivating the security forces which even ur own brother is apart of that says a lot about a clout chaser,” the artist said.

Bounty Killer explained that his reaction was to perceived disrespect and harassment and not because he hated security forces.

“I’m a law abiding citizen and I ain’t taking no disrespect or undue harassment from nobody so if I outburst then something had happened simple.”

Bounty Killer and Ninjaman, who is currently incarcerated, unite for an anti-crime initiative in Jamaica in 2017 with then National Security Minister Bobby Montague.

The artist was seen on video this week cursing and directing angry words at cops that stopped him and his entourage on his way to his godson Angel Doolas’ son, Nicholas Douglas’s funeral.

“A dat unuh come fi do prosecute somebody? One likkle simple traffic stop yuh come yah fi prosecute somebody. Okay, a hope when unuh get execute unuh nuh bawl bout prosecute,” Bounty Killer seething with anger, said.

Mr. Vegas, who is currently feuding with the “Dead This Time” artist, reposted the video on his Instagram account and said Bounty was “encouraging the assassination of our lawmen.”

“You can’t f**ing make this up! A suh him powerful?” he added as he tagged Prime Minister Andrew Holness on the post.

Metro Boomin Shares What Young Thug Planning After Release From Jail

Atlanta super producer Metro Boomin says he spoke to Young Thug recently, and the rapper appears confident he’ll be coming home soon, and he also had a message for his fans and followers.

Metro Boomin appears to be caught in a one-sided feud with DJ Akademiks on social media after the former asked that the embattled blogger not use anything about him for content on his account. DJ Akademiks appeared offended and refused to comply with the request. Following his rant on Twitter, he reposted a Story from Metro where the rapper spoke about talking to his friend, Young Thug, who is presently held at Cobb County jail, and his hope of being released soon.

“Talked to [spider emoji] today and jus kno when he touchdown the whole [world] gon feel it,” Metro posted.

via Metro Boomin IG

Young Thug is presently incarcerated as part of a RICO trial involving him and a dozen others who are accused of committing crimes as a gang and that the rapper’s label, YSL, is a gang, not a music outfit. The trial began at the end of January (2023) and is still in the jury selection stage, with conclusion dates estimated to be months from now.

Despite Thug remaining steadfast in the trial, many of his co-defendants, including his brother Unfoonk and his protege, Gunna, and half a dozen others, all accepted plea deals to corroborate that YSL is a gang. The plea deals, which were all Alford pleas, allowed the defendants to plead guilty without admitting guilt, but many hip-hop fans have viewed the deals as nothing more than an effort to ensnare the big fish- Young Thug.

In the meantime, Metro Boomin and Thugger are close, with the producer sharing regular updates on his conversation with the artist.

While on Streetz is Watchin Radio in January, the producer said he believed that Thug was blessed and strong and he has faith he’ll be fine despite the serious charges he is facing.

“I be talking to him, he’s blessed man,” Metro said. “Anybody know Slime know he got a heart of gold but he got the heart of a warrior at the same time so like, he got his head up. And I pray for him every single day, even since everything first happened, I pray for him every single day.”

Metro Boomin continued, “Man that’s my brother I love him to death, and he done helped me a lot with a lot of stuff that I been going thru this past year. And on my faith, I’m confident that he’s gonna be alright.”

Bermuda court drops charge against Jamaican woman, deportation remains

Prosecutors on Friday withdrew a charge against a 40-year-old Jamaican woman accused of illegally living in Bermuda after it was confirmed an order had been signed for her deportation.

Gabrielle Gangadhar pleaded not guilty in Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday to a charge of staying on the island without permission between November 2022 and March 2023.

Director of Public Prosecutions Cindy Clarke told the court on Friday that the Crown would offer no evidence in the case.

“There has been a signed deportation order from the Governor [Rena Lalgie] so there’s no reason to proceed with the criminal offence,” she said.

Clarke said Gangadhar would be held in custody until next week, when she is set to be sent home.

The court heard that a flight has been scheduled for March 15.

After Magistrate Khamisi Tokunbo discharged Gangadhar from the case, she urged the court to allow her to remain on the island so that she could continue to pursue a case with the Human Rights Commission.

But Tokunbo said he was not able to help as it was outside of his powers.
