Draya Michele Helped Two Teen Girls Avoid A Potential Predator
The “If You See Something, Say Something” slogan has gained popularity in recent years as organizations are hoping that the general public will begin to speak out against instances of violence, bullying, harassment, and potential human trafficking. Draya Michele shared on Instagram recently that she had a moment that required someone to step up to the plate, so she decided to take the initiative instead of waiting on someone else to make the move.

The reality star wrote on social media that while she was out, she watched as a man attempted to lure in two young girls with promises of money and popularity. “So today I witnessed a man try to persuade 2 teenage girls to be interested in him,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “He used his flashy car, his association with youtubers, offered them investments on their business, and expensive gifts. All in one convo.”
Draya Michele went on to say that the event made her “utterly disgusted,” so she sent the girls a note via the waiter at the restaurant they were both patronizing. “I prayed they received it because I had to leave,” said Draya. In the note, she wrote, “Dear young girls, Please do not listen to that man. He is too old and not as connected as he seems. Be careful. @drayamichele.” She wanted to leave her Instagram name “so they could somewhat trust me.”
The girls sent her a DM, thanking her for the note and Draya responded, warning them against potential predators who will use false promises to reel them in while encouraging them to follow their dreams. “I’m so thankful you left that note. he made us think he was big sh*t,” one of the girls wrote to Draya. “I was blinded by it. so thankful for uu!” Swipe through below to read the story and messages in their entirety.

Snoop Dogg Wants To Pay Someone $10,000 A Month To Eat Ice Cream
Snoop Dogg has had a lot of job titles over the years, but “official ice cream taster” wasn’t one of them until now — and he’s hiring someone else to fill it. His company Dr. Bombay just opened applications for the role, and it pays $10,000 a month.
The gig is fully remote and open to anyone on the planet, which Snoop announced himself in a video that’s exactly as laid-back as you’d expect. “I love the paper, but not the paperwork,” he said, explaining that HR firm Deel is handling the logistics while he handles, presumably, the ice cream.
The actual job is less “sit around and eat pints all day” and more part-time cultural scout. Whoever gets it will track flavor and food trends around the world, report back on what people are eating and talking about, and work directly with Dr. Bombay’s in-house flavor lead to help shape what the brand does next. It’s a three-month contractor role, and Snoop’s team says they’re actively looking outside the usual resume pile — creators and non-traditional applicants welcome.
Dr. Bombay itself leans nostalgic, with flavors like Long Beach Fruit Cart, Sticky Caramel Apple Pie, and Peanut Butter Jelly Time already sitting on shelves at Walmart and moving through DoorDash and Instacart. Somewhere out there is one very lucky applicant about to get paid five figures a month to have opinions about ice cream, and honestly, good for them.

Ronan Furlong finds renewal in the sea with latest release “Splitting The Ash”
“Splitting The Ash” opens with a distinctly Celtic riff before Ronan Furlong moves into an energetic song influenced by ideas of healing, rebirth, and spiritual renewal. The title and subject of the song are based on an ancient Irish ritual in which an ash tree is split open, giving the song a strong link to tradition, while its message is firmly rooted in the present: finding strength, renewal, and inspiration when life puts barriers in your way.
The sea is central to the track’s feeling, a symbol of challenge and regeneration. Furlong links his power to the resilience that can develop from exceeding physical boundaries. The song’s backstory lends that notion further weight, penned during a swim in the Irish Sea in January. The music’s context of creation gives it a particularly direct relationship with endurance and the willingness to push beyond discomfort.
“Splitting The Ash” ultimately feels life-affirming but never loses sight of struggle. The Celtic opening of the song gives an immediate sense of place, while its focus on renewal keeps the message open and universal. Ronan Furlong uses an old image of healing to remind us that difficult experiences can also be a source of strength, inspiration, and a renewed connection to life.
