Malcolm X’s Daughter, Malikah Shabazz, Found Dead in Brooklyn Home

Malikah Shabazz, the daughter of the late civil rights leader Malcolm X, has been found dead in Brooklyn, less than a week after the 2 men convicted for her father's assassination were exonerated ... TMZ has confirmed. Law enforcement sources tell us Shabazz's death does not appear to be suspicious, she was found face-down on the floor in her living room by her daughter. The timing is eerie considering just last week 83-year-old Muhammad Aziz and Khalil Islam -- who died in 2009 -- were exonerated after a several-decades long investigation. Shabazz was one of 6 of Malcolm X's kids with wife Betty Shabazz. Malcolm X was just 39 when he was assassinated in NYC in 1965. We recently had Phil Bertelsen, the director and producer of the Netflix doc "Who Killed Malcolm X?" on TMZ...

LeBron James Suspended Over Brutal Foul On Isaiah Stewart, First Of Career

There's a first time for everything -- LeBron James was just hit with a one-game suspension as a result of Sunday's wild incident ... the first time he's ever been banned in his 19-year career. It's a shocking decision, especially because the Lakers' next game is in New York against the Knicks on Tuesday ... and Madison Square Garden is the biggest stage in the NBA. Detroit Pistons player Isaiah Stewart was also suspended two games for his involvement in the incident ... with the league saying he escalated the altercation by "repeatedly and aggressively" pursuing James. LBJ was ejected for just the second time of his career after elbowing Stewart in the face during a boxout in the 3rd quarter ... which sparked an insane altercation. As it turns out, Bron reported...

Police gain clues on terrorists’ escape plan through recovered mobile phones

Two damaged mobile phones recovered from near the scene where three escaped terrorists were arrested hold the key to how they planned Kamiti jailbreak. This includes information on how the terrorists got money to enable their movements from Kamiti Maximum Security Prison to Kamuluyuni village in Kitui county. The mobile phones data will also tell how Musharraf Abdalla, Joseph Juma Odhiambo and Mohammed Ali Abikar moved from the city. Reports suggest they had “a lot” money before they were captured on Thursday as they sought direction to Boni Forest, Lamu county. And police believe the three were in communication with unknown men who were waiting to pick them up in Masalani, a few kilometers away from where they were caught. The identities of the people who were to pick ...

Justin Bieber Saudi Arabia Concert receives Backlash

Justin Bieber has an upcoming concert in Saudi Arabia -- one that's getting a lot of backlash ... which morphed into drive-by billboards this weekend, calling on him to nix the gig. Check out these ads that were plastered along the side of a truck that was cruising all over DTLA Sunday, right next to the Microsoft Theater where the American Music Awards are going down tonight. No word on whether JB is expected to show or not -- he is nominated, but not scheduled to perform -- so it's unclear if this is meant for him to see ... or others in general. In any case, it certainly caught some attention -- especially with the pointed language. One ad reads, "Bieber, Your Saudi Boss Murders Journalists. Do the Right Thing, Cancel!" Another says, "It's Not Too Late Now to Say Sorry. D...

Ethiopian businessman missing after abduction in Nairobi

An Ethiopian businessman based in Nairobi is missing after he was abducted by unknown people on Friday, November 19.

He was later dragged into a Subaru car as other road users recorded the drama. He has not been seen or heard of since then. His wife Milen Mezgebo said she cannot locate him since then. She said he called her as he was being taken away and later switched off. “He called and told me he had been abducted by people he didn’t know. After that, he disconnected. We have reported the matter to the police and embassy but no help so far,” she said. Teklemichael is a businessman in the ...

Mass Looting in Bay Area, This Time Nordstrom in Walnut Creek

Bay Area looters have coordinated by the dozens and descended upon high-end retail stores ... and on Saturday, Walnut Creek's number was called. Check out this footage that was captured last night by NBC reporter Jodi Hernandez, who filmed a surreal scene at a Nordstrom store in the mostly upscale East Bay city. As she describes ... it looks like scores of people pulled up to the curb in a concerted effort. She captured more footage of Walnut PD officers arriving on the scene and apprehending a few of the thieves -- but by all accounts, a majority of them got away ... with only 3 arrests being made that night. Three out of about a reported 80 people -- so not even close. It's a deeply troubling trend that started to make itself known in San Francisco just the night before, on...

Kanye West Says Michael Jordan Still Beefing With Him Over ‘Facts’ Lyrics

It's been six years since Kanye West dropped his famous "Yeezy just jumped over Jumpman" lyrics -- but the rapper says it STILL has Michael Jordan furious with him. Ye made the revelation on Revolt TV's "Drink Champs" this month ... saying MJ had big beef with him after he released "Facts" in 2015 -- and is still holding a grudge over it all. "Jordan still won't meet with me," Kanye said. "I'm trying to meet with Michael Jordan. I'm like, 'Man! It's a song, man!'" Ye's '15 hit is filled with Swoosh disses -- West raps over and over again in the song, "Yeezy, Yeezy, Yeezy just jumped over Jumpman." -- and, of course, Jordan took exception to it. West, though, tried to apologize to His Airness in 2016 ... writing in a tweet that it wasn't meant at all as ...

Rabbi Moshe Margaretten -- who's worked with Kim in the past on criminal justice reform -- says the businesswoman was quick to assist after speaking over a video chat. Maybe an hour later, after the Zoom call, I got a text message that Kim wants to fund the entire flight," Margaretten told the AP. Thousands have been fleeing Kabul after the Taliban took over in Aug...
