The body of rising Atlanta rapper Yung Teddy, 23, (pictured) was discovered at his Austell, Ga., home on Wednesday evening; he had been shot to death.  In a cryptic message about his life, the rapper sent out a tweet a day before stating that there were people who wanted him dead, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Teddy, whose actual name was Justin Mitchell, developed quite a large following in the Atlanta area. The young hip-hop performer was promoting a mixed tape, “Right On Time,” and even had a music video for the single “Tru,” which has thus far garnered nearly 40,000 hits on YouTube.

The day after New Year’s Teddy tweeted:

“NIGGAS WANNA SEE ME DEAD”

A few hours after he posted his message on Twitter, he was found dead.

Cobb County police are seeking two black male suspects. The first is described as having a thin build, between 20 and 23 years old, and about 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-9. He was last seen wearing a gray sweater, dark pants and a black beanie hat. He was armed with a handgun.

The second suspect is 5-foot-4 to 5-foot-6 tall. He was last seen wearing a multicolored beanie hat and a navy blue bandana covering his face.

So far, police are still investigating a motive behind the killing and are asking anyone with information to contact their department at 770-499-3945.

Chicago Dad Who Posted Pic Of Bound Daughter On FB Gets Probation

andre curry chicago facebookA Chicago man accused of binding his 22-month-old daughter with tape and posting a picture on Facebook has been sentenced to 18 months of probation.

A Cook County judge on Friday also ordered 22-year-old Andre Curry to attend parenting classes and submit to periodic drug testing.

Curry posted the picture with a caption that read, “This is wut happens wen my baby hits me back.”

He was convicted in November of aggravated domestic battery and aggravated battery. He’d faced up to seven years in prison but received probation because he has no prior criminal record.

Curry’s lawyer had argued the father was merely having fun with the child and that she wasn’t in danger. But the judge disagreed and criticized Curry for obstructing his child’s breathing for his own enjoyment.

Oxygen Network Defends Shawty Lo And All His “Babies’ Mamas”

Having 10 baby mama’s like Shawty Lo might sound pretty entertaining to some, but it also might be too much for television.

The new Oxygen special featuring Shawty Lo, his 11 children and their 10 mothers, called All My Babies’ Mamas, ticked off a lot of people who ensured they won’t be tuning into what is likely to be some rachet tv and the network has recieved some heavy backlash.

While there have been petitions against airing the show because they believe it “demeans black men, women, and children”, the network is standing by their decision to show the one-hour special.

They said in an exclusive statement to Radar Online:

“Oxygen’s one-hour special in development is not meant to be a stereotypical representation of everyday life for any one demographic or cross section of society. It is a look at one unique family and their complicated, intertwined life. Oxygen Media’s diverse team of creative executives will continue developing the show with this point of view.”
