He also reveals that he’s been fighting some form of liver disease that basically has him feeling ill at all times.
He also posted the video to his Instagram account with this message:
Sat down with my favorite person on planet earth to have one of the most HEALING conversations.
I hope it’s as healing for you as it was for us. I pray that you not only hear me but you FEEL me.
This shall soon come. #DRUGSPlease excuse my defense mechanism in this clip.
I’m sicker than ever & having a hard time accepting what I feel & what the Doctors are saying is most true. After sitting down and talking with my fathers mother and sister.. They explained to me that sickness & illness runs in my family.
My father & grandfather both died of severe illness.but they were FIGHTERS & that’s all that matters.
✨✨✨
Just ride with me is all I ask.
but they were FIGHTERS & that’s all that matters. 
✨✨✨We’re eager to hear this full interview! Jada says the convo actually helped her work through some issues she still had lingering from her friendship with Tupac…so it seems that these two got pretty deep.
Hopefully August is on the path to getting better. Are you looking forward to hearing more about all of this?

Messy Divorces: Keshia Knight Pulliam Wants Ain’t Isht Ed Hartwell’s NFL Pension To Cover Late Child Support
Getty Images
Keshia Knight Pulliam Requests That NFL Pay Her Child Support Directly, Doesn’t Trust Her Ex
Ed Hartwell is STILL giving Keshia Knight Pulliam headaches over their seed.
In new divorce court documents filed by Pulliam, the ‘single’ mother is requesting that Ed Hartwell’s child support he deduction straight from his NFL pension, according to TMZ. She’s hoping this will cease any further late or missing payments from Ed. She says he is frequently late with child support duties. Ed reportedly had the funds but hasn’t paid yet for the month of May.
What’s going on Ed??? Peculiar, since just a few months ago, Ed swore up and down that he will pay whatever for the care of their 5 month old child.
Keshia also says Ed is late with signing papers that give her permission to travel for work with their baby. Something else that takes away from their child.
So after cheating, leaving Keshia high and dry, then claiming their child wasn’t his, then asking for custody, he does this???
Maybe it’s time for a psych evaluation.

Footage Of Pilled-Out Tiger Woods Tanking His Field Sobriety Test Hits The Interwebs [Video]
Tiger Woods’ DUI Sobriety Test Footage Released
As you’ve certainly heard by now, Tiger Woods had a little bit of a rough night the Sunday leading up to Memorial Day. Now, footage of Tiger’s totally zooted attempt at passing his field sobriety test has hit the internet. TMZ acquired the video, showing a completely out of it Tiger having no idea what state he’s even in, with complete inability to make any coherent sense, walk without wobbling, or execute the simplest of motor functions when asked.
First, Tiger indicated to police that he was headed Orange County, CA from LA…even though he was about 8 miles away from his home in Jupiter, FL.
Once out of the car, Tiger couldn’t walk a straight line, touch a red light as asked, and mumbled and slurred a lot of incoherent mumbo jumbo. Mind you, he blew a 0.000 on his breathalyzer, so his claim about being slizzed off his pain meds has validity.
Jeez, it’s a wonder he didn’t hurt himself or anyone else while operating a car in this state. If he’s been taking this combo of pain meds for the last month or so like he says…how could he be functioning day-to-day when this is the state they put him in?

Bye, Chyna! Which Reality Star Is Rob Kardashian Smashing Now That Dream’s Mama Is Out Of The Picture?
Rob Kardashian Dating Mehgan James
Despite the fact that Rob Kardashian has randomly been singing (and deleting) the praises of his former fiancee and mother of his child, Blac Chyna on social media, reports are rolling in that another big booty babe has caught Brother Rob's eye. Sources close to the Keeping Up clan are telling InTouch Weekly that Rob recently struck up a romance with reality star Mehgan James. You probably recognize Mehgan most from her appearances on Bad Girls Club and Basketball Wives LA, and her random social media spat with KeKe Palmer late last year. However -- surprise, surprise -- his sisters and meddling Mom aren't exactly feeling his latest spousal choice:“Rob’s been seeing [reality star] Mehgan James for almost three months, and most of the Kardashians are very upset about it because Mehgan is known for being out of control and volatile. The Kardashians want Rob to find a woman who is kind and calm.”On top of all that, the Kardashian women are also concerned that Mehgan is just riding Rob because she's thirsty for fame, since she's previously been cast on two different reality franchises. Yes, the Kardashians of ALL people are worried about someone wanting reality show shine. They say Khloe has met Rob's new boo, but the rest of the sisters aren't exactly psyched to get to know her. Jeez, we understood why they may have been rubbed the wrong way by the Chyna situation, but damn, will the K-girls approve of Rob dating any

Ooh-Ooh-Ooh Uh-Oh: Rich Homie Quan Could Face 30 Years In The Clink Over Mary Jane Possession
Rich Homie Quan Hit With Felony Drug Charges
Rich Homie Quan is in a bad situation after getting arrested over the weekend, facing charges that could get him put away for a VERY long time.
TMZ reports that the Atlanta rapper got booked on charges of felony possession with intent to distribute when cops caught him and five friends with drugs and guns over the weekend. It’s not clear how much weed Quan had on him, but that’s actually neither here nor there in Georgia, where the amount of contraband you have on you doesn’t determine whether or not you’re charged with a felony. For all any of us know, it may have been a small enough amount that it was meant for personal use.
Either way, guns were also retrieved, but officers didn’t place that charge on Rich Homie Quan. His bail was set at $20,000. However, if he faces trial and gets a conviction, he could face a maximum of 30 years in prison for the drug charge.
SMH! Honestly, you’d think he learned his lesson on the weed front after all the backlash from him smoking a blunt with his baby on his lap a few years back.
Best of luck to him on this is really all we can say.

2 Chainz Claps Back At Haters Coming For His “Man Purse” And Educates Us On The History Behind It
2 Chainz Clears Up “Purse” Accusations
Another day, another rapper rocking a pocketbook??
Well, not exactly. 2 Chainz is the latest rapper to be accused of going a little too femme with his style for some folks’ sensitive style tastes. However, the ATL rapper was QUICK to clap back and let Instagram’s concerned fashion coalition of commenters know what was really going on.
The kerfuffle all began when Mr. Chainz posted pics from his recent appearance at an LA radio station, draped in designer labels (of course) and rocking a Goyard messenger bag.
Certain commenters were quick to call out 2 Chainz for rocking a “purse” and questioned why the rapper would adopt the new “effeminate” style a lot of younger rappers are accused of perpetuating.
BUT 2 Chainz posted a throwback pic and clued in the uninformed that 1. It’s a messenger bag, not a womens’ purse, and 2. He and other street dudes have been rocking them for YEARS, with good reason:
Let’s be very clear !! I been wearing Gucci from the beginning. ! I also been wearing messenger bags with racks in it !! This was symbolic of having bands !! Messenger bags were started by BMF who we all know were street millionaires who inspired other people from the street , that being said that bag Shit started with us for us by us !! Dufflebag boyz video came out in 2007 !! Ten years ago and that where the swag coming from ! Point blank period !!! Ps video shot in a real trap off Godby Road !! Soufside !!Pls don’t get this shit confused !! I AM VERY SOLID #logoho then and now #drenchGOD #prettygirlsliketrapmusic 6/16
Well, there you have it. The bag in question was CLEARLY not a purse, but at least 2 Chainz was able to clear up the culture, for those who don’t know and just freak out whenever they see a man using something other than his pockets.
Of course, now that everyone knows his bag is full of racks, he might want to look into beefing up security…

Becky Bites The Dust: Kathy Griffin Canned From CNN Over Decapitated Trump Head
CNN Fires Kathy Griffin Over Her Gruesome Donald Trump Beheading
Kathy Griffin’s Donald Trump decapitation photo shoot didn’t play out like she thought it would.
According to TMZ, the attention-slorey comedienne has been fired from CNN for her graphic gaffe and will no longer be hosting the New Year’s Eve special that she’s been doing with Anderson Cooper for 10 years now.
Looks like Anderson might not have been too gung-ho to fight for his homegirl’s gig.
Considering that there are SO many jokes, criticisms and insults that you can hurl toward America’s FANTA orange POTUS, it’s really dumb to risk your livelihood by making threats on his life. Ultimately, you just make it hot for yourself.

The museum’s director Lonnie Bunch released the following statement regarding the incident:
The secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, David Skorton also spoke out against the bigotry:
“The Smithsonian family stands together in condemning this act of hatred and intolerance, especially repugnant in a museum that affirms and celebrates the American values of inclusion and diversity,” wrote the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution David Skorton in an Institution-wide email. “We will not be intimated. Cowardly acts like these will not, for one moment, prevent us from the vital work we do.”
We ain’t never scared. We been through a lot as a people, gonna take A LOT more than a lil punk azz rope to run us off.
