Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese Scores Another Historic WNBA Stat
The second-year player became the fastest WNBA player to reach 30 career double-doubles
Although the Chicago Sky was on the receiving end of a blowout loss to the New York Liberty, Angel Reese had a historic night when she became the fastest WNBA player to reach 30 career double-doubles.
After only playing 42 games in the league, Reese has had 30 games in which she had a double-double, beating Tina Charles, who did it the fastest in 47 games. Candace Parker and Natalie Williams achieved it in 56 games, while Lisa Leslie did it in 58 games.
More history for the sophomore ✨
Angel Reese becomes the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 30 career double-doubles—42 games in!
According to ClutchPoints, the second-year player scored 17 points (8 of 13 shots) while grabbing 11 rebounds in an 85-66 loss to the current WNBA champions. She also had three assists and two steals. She’s the league-leading rebounder, averaging 12.1 per game in this young season. But her shooting percentage is only 30.9%.
The team isn’t doing much better, with two wins against six losses, as the Sky is shooting 42.4% from the field and a horrible 26.1% from the three-point stripe. This is the team’s second loss to the Liberty, who blew them out the first time by a score of 99-74 on May 22.
She may be having a terrible start to the 2025 WNBA season, but at least she won at the recent BET Awards Show.
The former Louisiana State University player beat out fellow basketball players A’ja Wilson, Flau’jae Johnson, and Juju Watkins, championship boxer Claressa Shields, tennis phenom Coco Gauff, championship basketball coach Dawn Staley, track and field specialist Sha’Carri Richardson, and world champion gymnast, Simone Biles, to take home the BET Sportswoman of the Year Award.
Reese and the Sky’s next contest will be against the Atlanta Dream, who have a 6-3 record, at Gateway Center Arena on June 13.
‘A Caribbean Fête In Times Square’ Kicks Off Summer With A Bang
The two-hour party attracted thousands of guests who danced in the streets, some waving flags representing their homelands.
This week, Times Square, one of the world’s most visited tourist destinations, transformed into a lively block party bursting with music, history, and culture to celebrate the diverse communities that make up the city’s vibrant melting pot.
A Caribbean Fête in Times Square was a free event on June 10 to celebrate Caribbean American Heritage Month. The block party was jointly sponsored by Times Square Live (TSQ) and I Am CaribBEING, a platform that celebrates Caribbean culture through art, education, and pop-up events.
The two-hour party attracted thousands of guests who danced in the streets, some waving flags representing their homelands. DJs Private Ryan and Kevin Crown energized the crowd with a blend of Caribbean sounds, including reggae, dancehall, soca, and Kompa.
DJ Private Ryan expressed joy in showcasing his talent at the historic landmark.
“Performing in Times Square to represent my country and Caribbean Culture was nothing short of amazing and iconic. Being able to play for so many people in a world-renowned space such as Times Square in New York is one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities and experiences,” the Tobago-born DJ said in a press release obtained by BLACK ENTERPRISE. The DJ was awarded a proclamation from the City of New York after his performance.
Ryan says he wishes to see more events like this one that allow Caribbean natives to share their rich culture with others.
“Caribbean American Heritage Month deserves its rightful space in the spotlight,” Worrell told Time Out. “This event is more than just music; it’s a testament to the strength and power of our heritage, and it is with great pride that we bring the joy of the Caribbean to one of the world’s most iconic locations,” said Worrell, the self-proclaimed “Chief Vibes Officer” of I am CariBEING and Little Caribbean—The Brooklyn-based community home to people from several Caribbean nations such as Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Haiti, and Barbados.
Milwaukee VA Clinic May Soon Be Named After WWII Veteran Anna Mae Robertson
Robertson enlisted in the Women’s Army Corps in 1943.
Anna Mae Robertson served in the 6888th Battalion during World War II, the only battalion of Black women to serve abroad during the war. Leaders in Milwaukee, Robertson’s adopted hometown, are advocating for the honor of the veteran who died in May at the age of 101.
U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Milwaukee, recently introduced the bill to namethe women’s clinic at the Clement J. Zablocki Veterans Affairs Medical Centerafter the veteran.
“It seemed appropriate to me that as a member of the storied ‘Six Triple Eight,’ and of course a member of the Milwaukee community who worked at Zablocki Veterans Center … to name the women’s health clinic in Milwaukee as the Anna Mae Robertson VA Well Women Clinic,” Moore said told Wisconson Public Radio.
Robertson received a Congressional Gold Medal in April after Representative Moore introduced a bill to honor the Six Triple Eight unit in 2021. Congress voted to bestow it, and former President Joe Biden signed the act into law in 2022.
While serving in the English Army Corps’ 6888th Central Postal DirectoryBattalion during World War II, Robertson and her fellow soldiers were taskedwith boosting soldiers’ morale by sorting through a year’s backlog of mailandreconnecting themwith their loved ones back in the United States. The all-female unit of 855 women completed a task predicted to take six months in just three. The battalion, referred to as the “Six-Triple Eight,” was featured in a 2024 Netflix film produced by Tyler Perry starring Kerry Washington.
Robertson relocated to Milwaukee and later worked as a nurse’s aide at Zablocki Veterans Hospital. The mother of eight remained in Milwaukee for the rest of her life.
Robertson’s daughter stated that renaming the wing would not only honor her mother but also help preserve the history of the Six Triple Eight.
“I think it is only fitting that they name the women’s clinic after my mother, so everyone who goes to that clinic would know about my mother’s history, her life, the story of the Six Triple Eight,” Sheree Roberts said in an interview with The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Marc Lamont Hill Recounts 2024 Stage Attack While Upholding Restorative Justice Principles
MLH is definitely the man for this.
Prominent academic and activist Marc Lamont Hill recently offered a candid, granular account of a distressing 2024 incident in which an alleged stalker assaulted him onstage.
Speaking on the June 12 episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, Hill confirmed he was “pepper-sprayed” during the Q&A segment of a speaking engagement held on Martin Luther King Jr. Day in Philadelphia, directly across from his independent bookstore, Uncle Bobbie’s Coffee & Books.
“I was mad as s***,” Hill recounted to his co-hosts, who exhibited amusement at the bizarre narrative. Pressed on whether he pursued legal action or pressed charges against the alleged perpetrator — actions that could ostensibly conflict with his long-held public stances on the criminal justice system — Hill was unequivocal. “Sued? N***a, please. You can hear me on the tape say, ‘Do not call the police,’” he asserted. “I walk it like I talk it. She was mentally ill. She had been stalking me for a couple of weeks, and I didn’t know. I never met her before.”
Hill’s co-hosts continued to facetiously suggest the incident stemmed from a soured extramarital affair .
“None of this is true. She was crazy as f***,” Hill countered, meticulously detailing the woman’s behavior. “I was standing there, giving a speech. She stands up for a Q&A. She had written a letter to me, saying that she was trying to talk to me about how the CIA and Joe Biden were trying to frame her for murder.” Hill further revealed that the woman had previously defaced his bookstore with red spray paint and had intended to hurl a brick through its window before police intervention.
According to authorities, he claimed, they merely issued the woman a ticket and released her.
He recollected the moments preceding the attack with chilling clarity, initially dismissing the woman until she approached the microphone and uttered her name. “It started clicking who she was,” he described. “I’m looking at security. She was like, ‘I just want to talk about what happened to me.’ And I was like, ‘I just want to be clear that I’ve never met you before.’ [She said], ‘You don’t know me, Marc? You don’t know me, Marc?’ She starts coming toward me. I said, ‘I need you to stop walking’ … I’m sitting in the chair … I’m thinking she’s reaching for a gun. I’m thinking, ‘If she’s about to shoot me, this is a really terrible way to die.’”
Before he could react, she deployed the spray.
“She got me in the eye,” Hill recalled.
Joe Budden TV found and posted the video footage of the 2024 attack online, depicting the woman approaching Hill, extracting a can of pepper spray from her pocket, and deploying it.
The 46-year-old activist and journalist promptly recoiled behind the stage curtains, as a man leaped in to intervene to restrain the assailant. Hill returned to the stage moments later, informing the audience of the woman’s prior vandalism at his bookstore and explicitly stating, “We’re not gonna call the cops.”
Marc Lamont Hill mentioned on the Joe Budden podcast that he was pepper sprayed once while speaking. Welp JBTV found the files! 😂👀 (Notice how he tells them not to call the police proving MLH ain’t just talk )🔥 pic.twitter.com/FH0ID1f0vz
Hill later elucidated the situation via a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, reassuring his followers of his well-being. He affirmed that he has since engaged in a restorative process with the woman and her family to facilitate her recovery.
“The video of me being pepper-sprayed was from January 2024,” he wrote. “At the time, the attacker believed that I was part of a conspiracy (along with the CIA, Mumia Abu Jamal, and the president) to cover up traumatic events from her childhood. Since then, after refusing to press charges, I have worked with her family and community members to enable a restorative process.”
He elaborated on her circumstances: “Through the process, I have learned that she did indeed suffer significant childhood abuse, as well as serious mental health challenges that continue to this day. Instead of criminal prosecution, I have done my best to make sure that she receives social and mental health support to help her heal as best as possible.”
I’m fine, everyone. The video of me being pepper sprayed was from January 2024. At the time, the attacker believed that I was part of a conspiracy (along with the CIA, Mumia Abu Jamal, and the president) to cover-up traumatic events from her childhood. Since then, after refusing…
After Brawling With Fans, Former NBA Player DeMarcus Cousins Suspended From Puerto Rican Basketball League
He was also fined and his contract voided from basketball team
After brawling with fans at a professional Puerto Rican basketball game, former NBA player DeMarcus Cousins has been suspended, and his contract with his team has been voided.
According to the Baloncesto Superior Nacional, the league has sanctioned Cousins by suspending him from playing for the remainder of the season and fined him $4,250 for a disqualifying foul, a technical foul, and acts incurred that incite violence or provocation. He must also show cause for not being imposed another fine of $5,750. That brings the total of the financial penalties to $10,000.
Suspendido DeMarcus Cousins por el resto de la temporada, sanciones a los Vaqueros de Bayamón
— Baloncesto Superior Nacional 🏀🇵🇷 (@bsnpr) June 10, 2025
CBS Sports reported that the team he was playing for, the Guaynabo Mets, terminated his contract.
“As an organization, we strongly condemn any form of violence or provocation, whether on or off the field,” the team said in a written statement. “Safety, respect, and sportsmanship are non-negotiable values for this franchise.”
The incident took place during a recent game when a fan started making obscene gestures toward Cousins. In retaliation, the basketball player grabbed his crotch and placed his hand in the fan’s face. That action drew players and team staff to step in to separate the two. Referees called a technical foul, which led to him being ejected from the contest.
As Cousins was making his way off the court, some fans started to verbally harass him, and they started throwing items at him, including drinks, as he headed to the locker room. He reacted by attempting to head back to the court to confront the fans, but security prevented him from proceeding.
When Cousins played in the NBA, he suited up for the Sacramento Kings, the New Orleans Pelicans, the Golden State Warriors, the Houston Rockets, the Los Angeles Clippers, the Milwaukee Bucks, and the Denver Nuggets, and last played during the 2021-22 season. Before playing in the Baloncesto Superior Nacional, he spent time playing in Taiwan and Mongolia.
Social Security Benefits Will Be Paid Retroactively This Month
The Social Security Administration released its pay schedule
The Social Security Administration released its pay schedule. Check distribution will begin this week, and the amounts will rise for many Americans.
Due to the Social Security Fairness Act, many beneficiaries who have gone without benefits will receive retroactive payments. Similarly, those who saw a cut in their checks from 2023 will also receive back pay.
Passage of the Social Security Fairness Act eliminated provisions that reduced benefits for people with pensions. These include the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) reductions. Approximately $3 million in American benefit cases went under review. Payments will increase for many civil servants who receive pensions under state civil service retirement systems. Benefits will be returned for Americans whose work provided a foreign retirement security system.
Recent deaths: SSA beneficiaries who have died cannot receive benefits. Passing on the retroactive funds is still being evaluated.
Overpayment cases: The Administration will assess the possibility of garnishing future checks to recoup overpayment.
New applications: The application submission date will be the starting date of payment. If approved, payments will be retroactive from that date.
All retirees, disability, and survivor beneficiaries will begin receiving pay on a staggered timeline. More than $70 million Americans receive payments from the Social Security coffers. As a result, payments are dispersed based on date of birth.
June Payments
June 11: Birth date 1 – 10
June 18: Birth date 11 – 20
June 26: Birth date 21 – 31
For most Americans, payment distribution falls on Wednesdays. However, the July payment schedule is a bit more complex.
July Payments
July 1: Those who receive supplemental Social Security
Not In My House! Rep. Stacey Plaskett Schools Treasury Secretary About Interrupting During A Hearing
The tense exchange took place June 11 as Bessent was being grilled about a number of things concerning America’s economic status.
U.S. Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) took the time to remind Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that she is not like her other colleagues and will not be interrupted during a House committee hearing.
The tense exchange took place June 11 as Bessent was being grilled about a number of things concerning America’s economic status. When Plaskett noted how the stock market has dropped since President Donald Trump took over the Oval Office, the treasury secretary interrupted with claims that her reporting was “incorrect” — but he learned not to do it again. “Let me get something straight with you first here. I’ve seen you interrupt everyone,” Plaskett said.
“When you come to someone’s house, you respect their rules, and in this house, we don’t interrupt individuals, and you’re not going to interrupt my time.”
Plaskett to Bessent: "Excuse me. Let me get something straight with you. I've seen you interrupt everyone. When you come to someone's house, you respect their rules. And in this house, we don't interrupt individuals. And you're not going to interrupt my time." pic.twitter.com/ZfO8JtrYds
As Bessent seemed to be taking her stance as a joke, cleaning his glasses as she scolded him, Plaskett gave him some advice on what he could do in the meantime. “I’m going to give you time to respond. You may want to jot down some notes about things that you don’t agree with me on so you can respond to them at that time,” she continued.
“But while I am speaking as the person holding this time, you will refrain from speaking, sir, until I am done, and then I will give you time to speak, okay?”
Bessent responded, saying, “I look forward to the facts.”
According to NJ.com, the Treasury leader claims the stock market has been up since the first day of 2025, with reference to the S&P 500 index. When Trump took office on Jan. 20, the S&P 500 closed at $6,049.24 just one day later. As of June 11, it closed at $6,038.81. He blamed a staffer who may have presented incorrect information, resulting in the exchange. “Well, first of all, I would fire the staffer who did that chart because it stopped in February 2025, and prices are down substantially since then. But that’s an inconvenient truth,” he said.
“Secondly, the S&P, if the congresswoman would care to check Bloomberg, the stock market as judged by the S&P, which is the most widely held index by Americans’ 401(k)s, is up on the year.”
As the video went viral on social media, Plaskett was met with misogynistic comments, claiming her “PMS cycle” may have been synced. However, like the exchange, she took the time to respond, saying the cabinet member was out of control.
Excuse you!! This twat, cunt, pum pum whatever you want to call it represents an organ that gives LIFE and is resilienr so thanks for the compliment. I can take one interruption but Bessent was out of control. And…. I know I look good for my age but baby I’m post menopausal and… https://t.co/04jSJPVknP
— Rep. Stacey Plaskett (@StaceyPlaskett) June 11, 2025
Bessent responded to the clip on X stating, “This is the People’s House. And the people deserve to hear the facts.” And the facts are, according to a report released by the Labor Department, that prices for consumers went up by 2.4% in May 2025 in comparison to May 2024.
9 Films That Spotlight The Depth And Power Of Black Fatherhood
Some movies have seriously dropped the ball when depicting Black dads
Movies have seriously dropped the ball when it comes to presenting Black dads, they’re either total stereotypes or just missing. This has shifted in the hands of Black filmmakers. We’re seeing Black fathers, from different walks of life, highlighted in films now. From tear-jerking dramas to real-life documentaries that actually show Black fathers as they really are: loving, imperfect, and dedicated to their kids. BLACK ENTERPRISE selected nine movies that show all the complex layers of Black fatherhood through different generations. And it’s about time, right?
Boyz n the Hood
Boyz n the Hood (1991) is more than a coming of age story, it digged into what fatherhood looks like in the crazy world of South Central L.A. It highlighted the complicated father-son relationship between Tre (Cuba Gooding Jr.) and his dad Furious (Laurence Fishburne). Furious is that tough-love dad, keeping his son on track while the neighborhood’s falling apart around them. What makes this film hit different is how it shows something we rarely got to see back then: a single Black father who’s actually there, protecting his kid and teaching him how to become a man. John Singleton broke records as the youngest director ever nominated for an Oscar, and the first Black one too!
The Pursuit of Happyness
The Pursuit of Happyness came out in 2006. It’s honestly one of my favorites. Will Smith not only produced it, but also starred in it alongside his son Jaden, which makes those father-son moments hit so much harder. Director Gabriele Muccino really captured the gut-wrenching journey of Chris Gardner, a real guy who went through homelessness while trying to give his kid a better shot at life. Will’s performance was on point, and the character’s determination poured through the screen. The Pursuit of Happyness is way more than just another tearjerker; it completely flips the script on how Black fathers are typically shown in movies. Instead of tired stereotypes, we get this raw, beautiful story about a dad who would do absolutely anything for his child.
Fences
Fences (2016) really hits you in the gut. It’s a raw look at Troy Maxson, a father in 1950s Pittsburgh played by Denzel Washington. The film is an adaptation of August Wilson’s play that won a Pulitzer. Troy’s story is pretty heavy. The family man was killing it in the Negro Baseball League scene before ending up as a garbage man, carrying generational baggage — while trying to love his family the best way he knew how.
Denzel absolutely crushes it both directing and acting. Together with Viola Davis, the two thespians show you what’s going on inside the heads of many Black fathers, that internal battle of wanting to shield your kids while somehow preparing them for a world that isn’t always kind. Fences is tough to watch but worth the watch.
King Richard
King Richard, released in 2021, is a movie about Venus and Serena Williams’ dad, Richard. Will Smith also crushes this role. The film shows how this determined father had this crazy but genius plan for his daughters to become tennis legends, and wow, did it work out. Richard’s stubborn, outside-the-box parenting style actually paid off. Richard faced so many obstacles but never gave up on his vision. It’s dope how the movie also flips the script on how Black fathers are typically portrayed in the media.
Moonlight
Moonlight, written and directed by Barry Jenkins, created quite the stir in 2016. Jenkins really knocked it out of the park with his take on what fatherhood can actually look like beyond the typical. The movie doesn’t bother with a biological father storyline at all, but Juan (played by Mahershala Ali) played one of the most powerful father figures on screen. He’s a drug dealer. He spots something special in little Chiron and takes him under his wing, everyone else in the boy’s life is dropping the ball left and right. Juan actually shows him real kindness and gives him solid advice, and accepts him for who he is. Moonlight earned its Oscar award. Jenkins’ film nails how random father figures that pop up in our lives can be absolute lifesavers, giving children that love, identity, and emotional stability they’re so desperately missing.
A Thousand and One
A Thousand and One snagged the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 2024. The story follows Inez (played by the amazing Teyana Taylor), who makes a desperate decision to take her son back from foster care. While you’re drawn into the intense mother-son relationship, I was really moved by Lucky’s character (Will Catlett), Inez’s partner who steps up in such a beautiful way. The film showcases Black fatherhood in a powerful way, especially as it’s chosen rather than biological.
Crooklyn
Crooklyn is a Spike Lee gem, part funny, part heartwarming, that looks at growing up in 1970s Brooklyn with some real-life Lee family vibes thrown in. Spike teamed up with his siblings Joie and Cinqué to write it. Delroy Lindo kills it as Woody Carmichael, a musician dad of five, who is both the source of laughs and drama in their cramped brownstone. What makes this film special is how it shows the beautiful mess of a Black family with dad right there in the mix, creative, deeply human, and very much present through all the daily chaos and love.
Daddy Don’t Go
Emily Abt’s 2015 documentary, Daddy Don’t Go, follows four young New York City dads. Alex, Roy, Nelson and Omar, hustle against poverty and systemic BS while raising their kids. Omar Epps helped fund it with Malik Yoba executive producing. The film debunks tired stereotypes about absent Black fathers who pour into fatherhood despite everything stacked against them.
John Q
In John Q, Denzel Washington plays a desperate dad who literally takes an emergency room hostage to save his kid’s life. Sure, it’s a jab at our messed-up healthcare system, but at its heart, it’s about how far a father will go for his child. Washington shows the raw emotional, physical, and moral sacrifices that Black fathers make for their kids.
Girlfriend Of New Orleans Escapee Derrick Groves, Arrested For Aiding A Fugitive
Darriana Burton faces one charge of Conspiracy to Commit Simple Escape for assisting Groves, her boyfriend of 2-3 years.
Two escapees from the Orleans Parish Correctional Center are still at large. On June 9, Darriana Burton, the girlfriend of Derrick Groves, was arrested for allegedly aiding the fugitive.
Burton was apprehended by Louisiana law enforcement and taken into custody. Currently, she faces one charge of Conspiracy to Commit Simple Escape. Groves and Burton allegedly dated for 2-3 years. Burton is a former Orleans Parish Correctional Center employee, where Groves was detained from 2022 to 2023. The Louisiana Bureau of Investigation released a statement detailing Burton’s involvement.
“As part of the investigation, agents reviewed inmate communications transmitted through SmartCom, an internet-based messaging and video call system utilized by inmates via facility-issued iPADs,” the affidavit read.
After an “intentionally vague” conversation, the couple switched contact methods. Authorities said Groves and Burton collaborated on the escape during the second call.
“It was implied that Burton would initiate a separate, unmonitored phone call,” according to the affidavit.
Burton is not the only friend and family member arrested for aiding the 10 escapees. Eight have been apprehended. The manhunt continues for Groves and Antoine Massey.
Recently, Massey released a video professing his innocence. The escapee claims the circumstances surrounding his escape are being misrepresented to the public. Furthermore, he states he would not stay in jail for a crime he did not commit.
“They say that I broke out. I didn’t break out. I was let out.’ He continued, “The reason why I left the jail is because these people were trying to give me a life sentence in both parishes for something that I did not do,” he continued.
Furthermore, Massey condemned a former guard at the facility. According to the convict, Sterling Williams cut the water to the building, allowing the 10 escapees to walk out. Previously, Williams told authorities that he was held at gunpoint by Massey.
Sterling [Williams] flat-out lied on me,” asserted Massey.
On May 21, Williams was arrested for helping to facilitate the escape.
Rapper Silentó Given 30-Year Prison Sentence After Pleading Guilty To Killing Cousin
The 'Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)' rapper admitted to killing 34-year-old Frederick Rooks III on January 21, 2021
27-year-old Ricky Lamar Hawk, who uses the rap moniker Silentó, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to charges in connection with the fatal shooting of his cousin.
A news release from the Office of the DeKalb County District Attorney in Georgia announced that Silentó pleaded guilty but mentally ill to Voluntary Manslaughter, Aggravated Assault, Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Crime, and Concealing the Death of Another for the killing of 34-year-old Frederick Rooks III. The incident took place on January 21, 2021, in Decatur. DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Courtney Johnson sentenced him to 30 years in prison.
DeKalb County District Attorney Sherry Boston stated that an investigation into the crime revealed that DeKalb County police officers discovered Rooks riddled with multiple gunshot wounds in the Panthersville area around 3:37 a.m. after responding to a report of a person being shot there. After emergency medical workers arrived, they declared him deceased. There were 10 bullet casings found near his body.
Surveillance footage from a nearby home showed a white BMW leaving the scene of the crime several minutes after the gunfire. A family member told police that he was picked up by Silentó bv from someone’s house in a white BMW SUV.
Police officers took Silentó into custody nearly two weeks later, on February 1. While speaking to investigators, the rapper admitted that he shot his cousin.
After he was arrested, ballistics testing matched the bullet casings that were retrieved from the scene of the shooting to a gun Silentó had when he was detained. GPS data for his BMW placed him at the scene of the murder.
The Associated Press reported that the rapper stated years ago, during an interview in 2019, that he struggled with depression and mental illness growing up.
“I’ve been fighting demons my whole life, my whole life.”
“Depression doesn’t leave you when you become famous; it just adds more pressure.”
He reportedly tried to commit suicide in 2020. In August 2020, the rapper was arrested in Santa Ana, California, for domestic violence. Two months later, in October 2020, Silentó was arrested after police accused him of driving 143 miles per hour on Interstate 85 in DeKalb County.
After Silentó’s arrest for killing Rooks, his publicist said he had been “suffering immensely from a series of mental health illnesses.”
Silento recorded a hit record when he released “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)” in 2015.
