“Plague is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis, and can be contracted by humans and household animals if proper precautions are not taken,” a statement released by JCPH says.
The JCPH warns that humans can contract the plague “through bites from infected fleas and by direct contact with blood or tissues of infected animals such as a cough or a bite.”
“Symptoms of plague may include sudden onset of high fever, chills, headache, nausea and extreme pain and swelling of lymph nodes, occurring within two to seven days after exposure,” the JCPH continued. “Plague can be effectively treated with antibiotics when diagnosed early. Anyone experiencing these symptoms should consult a physician.”
The statement also warns that all pet owners who live in close proximity to wild animal populations should contact a veterinarian regarding flea control and seek immediate help if their animal is ill.
Another case of the Bubonic Plague was recently discovered in the Chinese region of Inner Mongolia.

50-Cent’s Quick-Witted Take on Ghostwriting for Diddy with JAY-Z
When hip-hop’s ultimate entertainer, 50-Cent, recently took a seat on an episode of The Breakfast Club this week, fans got more than just another sprinkling celebrity interview. The Power creator didn’t just drop gems about his career or latest ventures; he also let fans in on a charisma and hilarious behind-the-scenes glimpse as he recalled his ghostwriting days with none other than Sean “Diddy” Combs and how JAY-Z joined the fun.
During the episode, Charlamagne Tha God played a clip of Diddy rapping on the song called “Let’s Get It,” where the Bad Boy mogul dramatically spits, “Send the cops, the D.A., and the feds to come get me.” 50’s quick-witted response was priceless, and everyone laughed; he joked, “I ain’t tell him to say that.” Known for his dry wit and knack for masterfully stirring the pot, 50 didn’t disappoint as he served up his classic humor with a punchline that reminded everyone why he’s such a prominent figure in hip-hop.
But the real kicker came when Charlamagne played another track, prompting 50-Cent to cheekily credit JAY-Z for a specific line, laughing, “Jay helped me with that. Jay did that part right there.” He even shared that Diddy would run his ideas past JAY-Z, explaining how the Roc Nation founder’s mind is “formatted” for spontaneity. “He just has it in his head,” 50 said, admiring how JAY-Z, with his freestyle prowess, didn’t need pen or paper.
While 50’s ghostwriting tales were hilariously candid, there was a serious side, too. Diddy is currently dealing with some heavy legal issues, facing allegations that include serious crimes. Seizing the opportunity, 50-Cent revealed he’s working on a Netflix documentary that will investigate these allegations, promising to focus on the ongoing situation surrounding Diddy’s troubles, including claims of sex trafficking and racketeering. With Diddy awaiting trial in Brooklyn, the mood shifted from amusement to a more severe concern regarding his legal challenges.
As a keen analyst of hip-hop culture, 50-Cent effectively conveys anecdotes that keep the audience entertained while highlighting his vigilant perspective and willingness to express his opinions candidly. His experiences with the creative talents of JAY-Z and the signature style of Diddy illuminate the fascinating dynamics at play among the most prominent personalities within the upper echelons of hip-hop genuinely operating and their collaborations within it. For now, fans can enjoy his quick-witty quips on The Breakfast Club, and who knows, maybe Diddy will return the favor with a few humorous takes of his own.

Great news for West Coast Hip-hop lovers: the legendary duo of Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre is gearing up to launch the much-anticipated collaborative album “Missionary,” set to be officially release on December 13, 2024. More than two decades after they shook up the rap world with their last full-album collaboration ‘Doggystyle’ in 1993, Snoop and Dre have dropped news that’s sent fans into an all-out frenzy. With a clever teaser skit shared on social media, they even brought humor to the announcement, showing two ‘missionary’ characters (yes, with the hats and ties) knocking on doors to spread the good word with a link to pre-save the album.
For many fans, this is more than just a new album; it’s a significant trip down memory lane to a golden era of hip-hop history, mixing feelings of nostalgia with the thrill of something enchanting. One fan’s post summed it up perfectly: One fan exclaimed, “I was 14 when Doggystyle dropped. You’ve made a middle-aged man feel like a teenager again!” Another longtime fan, who confessed to being a dedicated Snoop enthusiast since the early ’80s, raved about their karaoke renditions of Doggystyle, a testament to the timeless impact of Snoop and Dre’s music. Many are excited, with one declaring, “I am definitely a super fan!”
The new album “Missionary” promises surprises and a star-studded lineup, confirmed by Jelly Roll, who revealed his feature on the album during a recent interview with Bootleg Kev. “It’s special,” Jelly Roll hinted, still in awe of being part of an undeniable chemistry between Snoop and Dre’s masterpiece due to a growing list of intriguing collaborators. His excitement is contagious, and even if artists are in disbelief over the album’s power, it’s clear fans are in for something unforgettable. He praised the album as “really good,” stoking the anticipation even more.
This upcoming album comes right after their recent collaboration on a track called ‘STILL G.I.N.,’ a nod to their classic hits “Gin and Juice” and “Still D.R.E.” Snoop and Dre’s friendship, vision, and love for hip-hop have not only endured but evolved, pushing the limits of what West Coast rap can be. It’s safe to say that December 13 will be a historic day for hip-hop. So, mark your calendars, fire up the speakers, and prepare for a legendary reunion that combines the vibes we love with the reinvention only Dre and Snoop can deliver.
