Tragic Birthday Shooting, Rapper Foolio Confirmed Dead by Attorney
In a heartbreaking turn of events, rising rapper Foolio has been confirmed dead following a shooting at his 26th birthday party in Tampa, Florida. His attorney, Lewis Fusco, officially announced the news, urging fans to respect the privacy of Foolio’s family during this devastating time. Fusco shared the confirmation on Instagram, and the news was also verified by local Jacksonville outlet News4JAX.
The tragedy occurred during Foolio’s birthday celebration at an Airbnb, which later moved to a Holiday Inn after police shut down the initial venue. Reports suggest Foolio may have inadvertently revealed his location online, leading to what authorities describe as an “ambush” shooting. The attack not only claimed Foolio’s life but also left three others injured. Details about the assailants and the exact circumstances remain unclear.
Foolio’s girlfriend, Mani, expressed her grief on social media, saying, “Y’all took my boyfriend from me. I hate y’all & I won’t be the only one crying [broken heart emoji].”
Just days before, Foolio had tweeted his gratitude for reaching another birthday: “God thank you for allowing me to see another Year & To celebrate another birthday. Appreciate all the birthday wishes so far.”
Known for his outspoken nature and frequent clashes with other rappers, Foolio’s social media presence often reflected the tensions in his life. Despite hopes for a more positive future, his past encounters with violence ultimately culminated in this tragic incident.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Foolio’s family and loved ones. This loss serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for peace and unity in the hip-hop community, emphasizing the dangers artists face when conflicts are left unchecked. As we await further details, we hope this tragedy can inspire efforts to prevent such losses in the future.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”
“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.
This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.
In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.
“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
