Former boxer Evander Holyfield is reportedly broke as a joke. The Georgia Dept. of Human Services has been actively attempting to get money from Holyfield, as he owed a ridiculous $500,000 in child support for his daughter Emani Holyfield. Holyfield agreed to a payment plan to dwindle the debt over time, paying $2,950 per month, but he's missed several payments recently and still owes almost $328,000. A GA judge is fed up with Holyfield's inability to pay, and has ordered the stripping of Holyfield's drivers license to coax him into forking over more cash. A hearing is set for August.Source: tmz.com

XXL - Hip-Hop On A Higher Level Tyler, The Creator was recently on the popular Q&A style social networking site, Formspring, fielding question from fans, when a query about a beat for Kanye West yielded a revealing answer. According to Tyler, Yeezy wanted to appear on his popular single, “IFHY” but Wolf Haley was against it. “[Kanye] wanted to be on “IFHY,” the OFWGKTA front man typed, “but I was like nah hahaha.” Despite not letting Ye on the track, for whatever reason, Tyler added that the two have a close relationship that goes beyond music. “Ye is soo awesome, I talk to him almost everyday it seems like,” he added. “It’s cool to have someone you can level with about art and everything else.” The post Tyler, The Creator Turned Down Kanye’s Request To Appear On “IFHY” appeared first on XXL.

Last weekend, 14-year-old Jamaica, Queens high schooler D'aja Robinson was senselessly killed when someone shot a barrage of bullets at the bus she was riding on.
