Fans are finally getting a look into what might have happened to cause the split between Quavo and Saweetie, even though it has been prompted by the 2020 footage of the couple seemingly having a fight in an elevator.

The “Walk It, Talk It” rapper has also admitted that he’s not happy about how things ended up between the two. He made the revelations while being interviewed by GQ. The Migos rapper also opened up about his current love life and the lessons that he learned with Saweetie.

He took the opportunity to let fans and critics know that he never wants to harm women in any way, including physically. Even if that is the case, the video is pretty damning as the two seem to have a heated argument in which the “My Type” rapper is seen throwing an object at Quavo’s head.

The object misses, and then he drags her into the elevator, after which they struggle over a suitcase, and she falls to the ground.

“I don’t like what people think. When they saw the elevator thing they thought it was abusive, something crazy,” he added later on.

It seems that the lesson has been learned as he also admitted that he has not jumped into another relationship just yet as he is seeking to work on himself. He added that his main focus right now was to establish himself as a human being before he got involved in any more relationships.

The two officially began dating in September 2018 and were often in the limelight as fans constantly reposted clips of them together and some of the special moments that they shared, but Saweetie confirmed that they had broken up in March 2021.

In the same interview with GQ, Quavo opened up about the status of Migos amid recent rumors of the group splitting up with himself and Takeoff forming a duo, and Offset left hanging. There are also rumored tension between Quavo, Takeoff and Offset’s wife, Cardi B.

Quavo is saying that doing music separately will only help the group as a collective in the long run.

“It was all about Migos, Migos, Migos. The three of us,” the Atlanta rapper said about Migos dominance as a group in the 2010s. “I feel like every group member has to establish themselves. Their own body of work. If not, you start losing members.”

Usain Bolt was officially honored by Brunel University London for his outstanding contributions to track and field.

Brunel University announced the conferral two days ago and shared photos of Usain Bolt in his robe and cap accepting the award. In a statement, the university said that Botl held a special place at the institution as he prepared for the 2012 Olympics, one of if not the most transformative years of his career, where he earned the title ‘Fastest man Alive’ due to his 9.58 seconds record time.

“Mr Bolt trained at Brunel a number of times over his career, including in the lead-up to the 2012 London Olympics, where his world beating performances scooped him three gold medals and cemented his place as the greatest sprinter of all time,” the university said on its website.

The statement said that in accepting his award, Bolt addressed graduates at Brunel’s Indoor Athletics Centre in Uxbridge as he impressed the value of hard work and dedication.

“I want to say to the graduates, hard work does pay off, just remember that the road won’t be easy, there will be ups and downs, and you will fail,” Bolt began.

“But always remember, learn from your failure and try again. Never give up on your dream, because as a young man I never knew I’d be this great. Always work hard, dedicate yourself, and remember, anything is possible, don’t take limits,” Bolt added.

Bolt has left the competitive track and field sport, but he has left an indelible mark on the work as he remains the holder of the 100m and 200m world records and a share of the 4x100m record, all of which he earned while preparing at Brunel in 2012,” the university said.

Bolt also expressed his gratitude to the institution.

“I want to thank Brunel University for this honorary degree, I really appreciate it. I have only fond memories of training at Brunel, you guys have really helped me to conquer the world, and I must say I really appreciate that. “

In the meantime, Bolt is now a Doctor of the University or DUniv. The award was conferred by Professor Costas Karageorghis, Professor of Sport and Exercise Psychology at Brunel.

“It’s been a delight to welcome Usain back to Brunel to recognise his great achievements, not only on the track, but in promoting sport and a positive attitude towards life,” Karageorghis said.

“As a university, we’re immensely proud to have played even a small part in his journey to greatness, and I’m sure Usain knows he’s welcome back any time!” he added.

Usain Bolt previously received an honorary doctorate from the University Of The West Indies, UWI.

A bottled-water vendor was shot shortly after 12 noon on Broadway near the corner with South Quay in Port of Spain on Thursday.

The young man lay bleeding on the ground for several minutes as a large crowd gathered with many using their cellphones to take photos and record videos of him.

Some people in the crowd berated police officers who arrived for not immediately taking away the shooting victim for treatment. After some more time passed, officers scooped up the man and placed him in a sitting position in a police jeep and then took him away for medical treatment.

“Don’t you die!” a middle-aged man cried out as the shot man was being placed in the jeep.

“This is what Trinidad has come to,” a young woman muttered as she and others spoke about the man being shot in broad daylight in public. Up to press time, there was no word on the victim’s identity and his condition. Investigations are continuing.

A 19-year-old construction worker was murdered on Wednesday afternoon, after he was attacked by an identifiable man armed with a pair of scissors.

Dead is Chrisgaichan Narine of Lot 137 Recht-Door-Zee, West Bank Demerara.

Police information indicated that the deadly stabbing occurred at Independence Drive in the vicinity of Third Avenue, Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara at about 16:50h.

The now deceased teenager and his uncle, 23-year-old Gansham Singh were going home on a bicycle, when the suspect appeared from the opposite direction on an electrical bike.

As he approached the duo, the suspect attacked the now deceased teen.

Consequently, the uncle ran from the scene, leaving Narine in a scuffle with the suspect.

In the process of running away, the uncle alleged seeing the suspect armed with an orange pair of scissors in his right hand.

The suspect is alleged to have dealt the 19-year-old two stabs – one to the lower abdomen and another to the left shoulder – after which he made good his escape on the said electrical bike.

After the stabbing unfolded, the uncle then picked up the victim in in an attempt to take him to the nearest police station but he collapsed on the ground.

As a result, Singh took the bicycle and went to the Police Station to report the matter. Ranks were sent to the scene, and the injured teenager was picked up and rushed to the West Demerara Regional Hospital.

Upon arrival, he was examined by a doctor on duty but later succumbed to his injuries while receiving medical treatment, at about 18:10h.

At about 19:00h on the same evening, further investigation and questioning led detectives to the suspect’s correct name and address.

Narine’s body has since been escorted to the Ezekiel Funeral Home, awaiting Post Mortem Examination to determine cause of death. Investigations are still ongoing.

Il devance le Colombien Diego Armando Soraca Cabezas (Team Pédale Pilotine Blue Car) qui réalise la très bonne opération du jour et Marc Flavien (Madinina Bikers). 

70 cyclistes étaient au départ de la 6e étape du Tour de Martinique.

A Ravine Plate au Vauclin, l’écart entre le groupe de tête et le peloton augmente même d’environ 3 minutes.

Cayman: Masks come off and cases go up Loop Cayman Islands

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Cayman Compass

It turns out that with the removal of Cayman’s mask mandate on June 30 that COVID cases have simultaneously gone up. And while it is important to note that correlation does not always mean causation, it is hard not to make the inference. Science has after all proven that mask mandates have conferred benefit in reducing community case incidence during the pandemic.

According to the latest statistics from Public Health, a drop in testing and an increase in cases resulted in a significant increase in the proportion of positive cases between July 3 and 9 from 28 per cent at the time that the mask mandate was removed to 48 per cent. There has also been a notable 36 per cent drop in testing.

A new strain of COVID-19 has also been identified in Cayman since the removal of mask mandates.

The sub-lineage BA.5 of the Omicron variant has been detected for the first time, which has been reported by the UK to be driving the recent wave of infections. The sub-lineage BE.1 has also been detected, which was first detected in March 2022 in Germany and has since been identified in 47 countries worldwide. Public Health anticipates that there is shift occurring from the BA.2 to the BA.5 Omicron sub-lineage in Cayman.

So what does the data tell us?

Data on the relationship between mask mandates and adherence are limited, although available evidence suggests that mask-wearing adherence increases in regions or time periods where mask mandates are in place and mask-wearing adherence is associated with observed reductions in COVID-19 case growth. A 2021 study examined the relationship between lifting mask mandates and population level COVID-19 outcomes, and observed a statistically significant increase in COVID-19 cases 45 days after lifting mask mandate.

A systematic review identified a natural experiment conducted across 200 countries that demonstrated 45.7 per cent fewer COVID-19 related deaths in countries where mask-wearing was mandatory. That said, COVID-19 deaths in the Cayman Islands have been very low since the onset of the pandemic and have typically been associated with comorbidities.

The New York Times says that Cayman Is currently in the top spot in the Caribbean for COVID-19 for cases per 100,000 people and in the 19th spot in the world. Cayman has taken the top spot or has been in the top 10 at various times during the pandemic– including when masks were mandatory.
