CupcakKe Tearfully Announces That She Is Retiring & Removing Music From Streaming Platforms
Last night, the Chicago rapper CupcakKe sent out an Instagram Live video in which she claims that she’s retiring completely from the music industry. She claims that she’s ending her current tour, which started earlier this month. She also says that she’s going to remove all of her music from every streaming platform. In the 18-minute video, CupcakKe is visibly distressed, frequently breaking down in tears, speaking to a camera while wrapped in what appears to be a hotel bedsheet. It’s very disturbing.
Earlier this year, CupcakKe was hospitalized after tweeting that she was “about to commit suicide.” (After her hospitalization, she thanked fans, writing that she is getting the help she needs.) Last month, she announced her 10k Tour, in which she would give away $10,000 to random fans over the course of the tour. And she just released a new track called “Grilling N****s” last Friday. Since posting the video, she has deleted her Twitter and all of her posts on Instagram. She is scheduled to perform at the Masquerade in Atlanta tonight, and the venue’s website, at least right now, says nothing about the show being cancelled.
In the video that she posted last night, CupcakKe, visibly in tears, opens up by saying, “So this Live is going to be the last video that y’all will see of me.” She goes on: “I will no longer be doing music, and all of my music will be coming off of every platform.” She also says that her tour is cancelled, effective immediately.
In the video she claims that she’s ashamed of the music she’s released, much of which is extremely sexual: “I feel as though I’m corrupting the youth… I want to go to heaven after this, and I don’t want to go to hell. Just seeing all-age kids at the shows, seeing them sing along to ‘hump me’ and ‘fuck me’ and all this shit, it has torn me apart. I’m just not happy. I don’t want to be around no one right now… It’s wrong. And even if it’s OK for y’all, it’s not OK with me… I want to be normal again.” She thanks fans and apologizes for letting them down.
In the video, CupcakKe says that, even when she raps about non-sexual topics, the sexual music is what gets the most attention. She also feels that “the media” won’t take her seriously because of her body. And she says that she has “a very bad gambling addiction” and that she recently lost $700,000 in a casino, which allowed her to see that the people around her are using her.

Milwaukee couple says their smart home was hacked after their camera began talking to them and their thermostat turned up to 90 degrees
The Westmoreland family installed a Nest camera, doorbell, and thermostat in their home in 2018. They had no problems until they heard a voice talking through a camera in their kitchen.
“It’s supposed to make me feel safe, and I didn’t feel safe,” Samantha Westmoreland told WITI.
Their place of comfort turned creepy on September 17th.
“My heart was racing,” Westmoreland said. “I felt so violated at that point.”
Westmoreland returned from work to a blazing hot home. The thermostat had been turned all the way up to 90 degrees. She thought it was a glitch – and set it back to room temperature. She did not realize that was only the beginning of a roller coaster 24 hours.
The thermostat continued to go up – and a voice began speaking from a camera in the kitchen – and then playing vulgar music.
“So I unplugged it and turned it facing the ceiling,” Westmoreland said.
Westmoreland and her husband changed their passwords, but the problems persisted. Eventually, they contacted their internet carrier and changed their network ID. They believe someone hacked into their Wi-Fi and then their Nest.
“If someone hacks into your Wi-Fi, they shouldn’t be able to have access to those Nest devices without some sort of wall they have to get over,” said Lamont Westmoreland.
The Westmorelands said they’re upset their $700 system was a gateway into their home.
“Maybe there’s some steps we should take,” said Lamont Westmorland. “I think Nest should be tightening security.”
They wanted to share their story to make others aware that hackers are outsmarting the smart home.
“People need to be educated and know that this is real, and this is happening, and it is super scary, and you don’t realize it until it’s actually happening to you,” Samantha Westmoreland said.
A Google spokesperson provided this statement: “Nest was not breached. These reports are based on customers using compromised passwords (exposed through breaches on other websites). In nearly all cases, two-factor verification eliminates this type of security risk. Nest users have the option to migrate to a Google Account, giving them access to additional tools and automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup. Millions of users have signed up for two-factor verification.”

Man filed for and completed a divorce from his wife without ever telling her
Mark Herman of Harris County Constable Precinct 4 said on Facebook that Paul Nixon committed aggravated perjury when he went through the divorce process without his wife’s consent.
According to Herman, authorities received a call on May 14 from a woman who said her husband had allegedly completed the divorce and that a court already filed the final decree.
Through the investigation, authorities found that Nixon forged documents and submitted false information to the court. He also allegedly submitted a waiver of service with a forged signature from a notary.
Herman said Nixon committed aggravated perjury when he testified during the final hearing on the validity of the documents and information.
Nixon is currently being sought by authorities.
According to Herman, the divorce has been set aside due to the fraudulent filing.

4-year-old boy comes home from school with gashes on wrist, mom says ‘he was too scared’ to say anything
MILWAUKEE (WITI) — A Milwaukee mom says her son came home from school with gashes on his wrist — but not from a playground scuffle. She says it was caused by a teacher’s aide at Manitoba School in Milwaukee.
School had only been in session for a week when Justine Gomez’s son, 4-year-old Steven Widowski, came home in pain.
“I would ask him what happened and he was too scared — like he didn’t want to tell me,” Gomez said.
Gomez said it was not until Sunday the boy finally told her he was scratched by a teacher’s aide in 4-K at Manitoba School.
“She grabbed his wrist. She grabbed it so tight that she put gashes in his wrist with her fingernails,” Gomez said.
Photos show the marks scabbed over on the boy’s wrist. Gomez said the teacher’s aide was trying to move the boy from one line to another.
“Yeah, that is abuse. If a parent did that to a child and the school saw it, the school would be on top of it,” Gomez said.
Milwaukee Public Schools released the following statement on this incident:
“On Sunday, September 15, Manitoba Elementary was contacted by a concerned parent about an injury that occurred to their child on Friday, September 13, during recess.
“MPS takes these matters very seriously and immediately opened an investigation into the situation.
“Because an investigation is ongoing, we cannot comment further.”
