Roc Nation and NFL Release Social Justice PSA on O’Shae Terry Who Was Killed by Arlington Police
Last night during the Monday Night Football battle between the Atlanta Falcons and Green Bay Packers, Roc Nation and NFL released a new PSA on O’Shae Terry. The 24-year-old man was shot four times and killed in Arlington, TX by a member of the police department. The PSA is narrated by his mother, Sherley Woods, while also bringing in Terrence Harmon, the passenger in O’Shae’s car.
“O’Shae was taken from us two years ago, and not a day goes by where I don’t think of him and his spirit,” Woods said of the PSA. “That day changed our life forever. My mother, a stroke survivor, still asks to see O’Shae every day, unaware he’s no longer with us. My children grieve on a daily basis. As a family, we are devastated by not ever being able to see O’Shae again. No mother should have to experience the heartbreak of having their child murdered at the hands of the individuals tasked with the protection of others – yet too many mothers have. I am sincerely grateful to the NFL and Roc Nation for honoring my son and telling his story. The officers that took him from us also took an oath to protect and serve – they shouldn’t be able to kill with impunity. They must be held accountable for their criminal acts, they must be prosecuted and sentenced – it is the humane and moral thing to do. Things must change, and I hope O’Shae’s legacy can serve as a beacon for that change.”
This is the sixth PSA from Roc nation and the NFL about raising awareness to create positive change in our communities and end systemic racism. The PSA falls under the NFL’s Inspire Change initiative, a platform focused on the collaboration of the NFL and players to reduce barriers to opportunity and combat social injustice.
“Current and ongoing events have shown us that our country continues to face racial injustices,” said Anna Isaacson, Senior Vice President of Social Responsibility at the NFL. “The goal of this and other NFL Inspire Change PSAs is to share the stories of victims and raise awareness of systemic racism. We hope that O’Shae’s story reminds us all that we must come together to create change.”

Mac Miller’s creative spirit is still alive and well, intricately weaving beats with unfiltered emotions that resonate deeply, giving fans something special to look forward to. One of his most elusive projects, ‘Balloonerism,’ finally ascends from whispers in the ether to an official release. During Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival last weekend, he gifted Mac Miller’s devoted followers an exciting announcement of the release of the long-lost album; ‘Balloonerism’ which will finally be released on January 17, 2025.
The announcement comes with pre-orders available for vinyl, cassette, and CD versions on the late Pittsburgh icon’s official website. This news has electrified fans and will undoubtedly kick off the new year with an emotional bang equal to celebration and catharsis. While every posthumous release brings a twinge of sadness, Miller’s camp has consistently handled his legacy with care, delivering tributes that feel genuine to who he was.
For fans, ‘Balloonerism’ is a collection of songs; it’s a bridge between two iconic albums, ‘Watching Movies with the Sound Off’ and ‘Faces.’ Initially crafted during this period, parts of the album were repurposed for ‘Faces,’ leaving fans speculating for years about the rest. We’ll finally explore these unreleased gems and the artistic overlaps that defined Miller’s creative peak during those transformative years.
2024 has been significant for celebrating Mac’s legacy, especially with the 10th anniversary of ‘Faces’ reigniting admiration for his fearless style. And let’s not forget the echoes of 2023, when ‘Watching Movies’ turned ten, gifting fans unreleased tracks like “The Quest.” Through it all, Mac’s spirit endures, lifted higher by the voices of peers like ‘Vince Staples,’ acknowledging his impact on their lives.
“He changed my life… He was teaching me how to rap on the beat, how to project,” Staples reflected in 2023, encapsulating the selfless, nurturing energy Mac exuded. This human touch elevates his work beyond music, leaving an indelible mark on everyone he encounters. As we eagerly count down to the long-overdue debut, ‘Balloonerism,’ fans are ready to celebrate Mac’s heartfelt gift, which he brought to the world through his art. January 17 will be a day to remember an artist who gave so much through his music.

“Baby Fever” On Overdrive As Boosie Badazz Ready Plans to Expand His Family Right After Ninth Child!
Boosie Badazz, the ever-vocal Louisiana rapper, is expressing his desire to expand his family. Earlier this month, Boosie and his fiancée, Rajel Nelson, happily announced that they are expecting a baby girl, Boosie’s ninth child. They celebrated this joyous occasion with a vibrant gender reveal party surrounded by friends and family, but Boosie’s excitement for his baby’s gender hasn’t diminished his wish for a boy. He’s already thinking about the next phase of parenthood.
In a candid Instagram Live session, Boosie shared his thoughts with his followers. “Yeah, I wanted a boy,” he admitted. “I ain’t tripping I’ma to put another one in her right after that. Other people wait six weeks; I don’t wait six days. I ain’t waiting six days. I’m gone get that boy.” His confident declaration indicates that Boosie is eager to keep growing his family, much to his fans’ amusement (and surprise).
While Boosie expresses his enthusiasm, Rajel Nelson has a slightly more traditional viewpoint. During her Instagram Live session, she shared her initial desire to be married before starting a family. “I did say I would like to be a wife before I have a kid,” Nelson reflected. “But God has blessed me to have a child before I got married, and that is okay. This is my baby. I made it. So, I’m just going to, you know, lay in my bed with it.”
Despite the whirlwind of baby discussions, Nelson remains grounded, particularly regarding public perception. She quickly dismissed critics who label her a “gold digger,” asserting that she is financially independent and does not rely on Boosie for her success. Regarding their relationship, Nelson suggests that the negativity aimed at her stems from others’ insecurities rather than her reality. As Boosie dreams of a tenth child and Nelson prepares for motherhood, fans wonder if wedding bells will ring before another gender reveal appears on their feeds. One thing is sure: this couple knows how to keep everyone talking.
