Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts Believes Legalizing Marijuana Will "Kill Kids"

During a press conference on Wednesday, Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts made a statement about marijuana that many found to be ridiculous and hypocritical. “This is a dangerous drug that will impact our kids,” the Governor said. “If you legalize marijuana, you’re going to kill your kids. That’s what the data shows from around the country … Big pot, big marijuana is a big industry. This a big industry that is trying not to be regulated, to go around the regulatory process.

Miguel Gets Sensual On "Funeral"

Miguel is certainly not an R&B artist who shys away from writing sultry, NSFW lyrics. His track “Funeral,” which comes off of new EP Art Dealer Chic 4, is no exception. The song was originally released in 2019 as a single following Miguel’s Spanish EP Te Lo Dije, but its inclusion is vital to the lo-fi electronic vibe of Art Dealer Chic 4. The song is very bass-heavy and sees Miguel talking about “slaying,” someone’s daughter, sending his “regards to the mother and father.”

Lakeyah Isn't Taking Any Disrespect On "Easy"

On “Easy,” Lakeyah breaks down how she sets the example for other women in the industry through her success. It took the Milwaukee artist a lot of hard work to get to where she is today, and becoming a recording artist came at the expense of dropping out of the Art Institute of Atlanta and quitting jobs like McDonald’s and Target.

2020 was an unprecedented time for everyone, with the coronavirus pandemic leaving many people stuck at home, for more than a year at this point.

People had a tremendous amount of time on their hands during the day as a result, and much of this time was filled by social media, e

How I Worked with a Major Fashion Brand

Making social media a career has always been a major dream of mine. Ever since I started watching YouTube and following major influencers, I knew I wouldn’t have a dream job that surpassed having a job online. Although I’m not even close to achieving that dream yet, a few weeks ago I had the opportunity to take a little stepping stone toward that dream. Throughout the month of February I was involved in a hand-picked social media campaign for Betsey Johnson (yes, the super nostalgic brand we all
