Woahh Vicky, Danielle Bregoli, and Lil Tay may as well be clones of each other. These young white girl rappers have been invading social media and for reasons unknown, have become somewhat famous. Woahh Vicky is most likely a name you wish you didn’t know, but sadly you do. One of her first viral hits was called the “lotion challenge” where she tried to eat a spoonful of lotion without throwing up. She didn’t throw up. Therefore you obviously know she’s talented. So you must be curious. How much is Woahh Vicky’s net worth today? Let’s find out.


Woahh Vicky’s Net Worth 2018: $500,000

At just 18 years old, the social media star’s net worth as of 2018 is estimated to be around $500,000.

Born on March 7, 2000, Woahh Vicky, actual name Victoria Waldrip, began to receive a lot of recognition in the summer of 2017 when she announced to the world in a Youtube video, that she was black. She additionally had posted an image from Ancestry.com to support her declaration of being 25% black. As a result, the pale skin girl with dirty blonde hair started to use the N-word as well as appropriate black culture– well her perspective of it. On her Youtube channel she posted a video teaching people how to twerk and on her Instagram, she included pictures of herself with guns and cash. She also adopted an urban accent.


Rachel Dolezal, Is That You?

People have compared her to Rachel Dolezal, the white woman who used skin bronzer to make herself appear black. They’re not wrong. Woahh Vicky additionally says she’s from Atlanta Zone 6 which has produced the likes of rappers such as Gucci Mane, Future, and 21 Savage. But if we look at the facts, Woahh Vicky actually grew up in Georgia’s Cobb County, a suburb outside of Atlanta. She also has her own website where she sells custom merch including a variety of chains and grills.

Woahh Vicky’s online presence has continued to grow. She currently has 1.8 million followers on Instagram and nearly 151,000 subscribers on her Youtube channel. If people’s eyebrows weren’t raised high enough already, they were raised even higher when she released a racist music video about Asian men tastefully titled, “Ching Chong.” It was a response to Youtuber Rice Gum who had made fun of her singing, along with her claims of being black. After being called racist, Woahh Vicky apologized and took down the video.

The fun doesn’t stop there though. Woahh Vicky also entertains the world by keeping alive her ongoing feud with “Cash Me Outside” girl, Danielle Bregoli. The two continuously berate each other online, and last month they even got into a physical fight where punches were thrown. It just goes to show, literally anybody can become famous.

To leave those two things hanging out there in the world would be upsetting. I want to see how that at least starts to play out and I want to do Jessica’s story the deserved justice of following her as she goes back to school, as she tries to begin to recover from what happened to her, because it’s something that millions of young women go through. And also [I want to] see somebody punch Bryce in the face.”

It has also been reported that season 2 will take palce a few months after the events of the season one finale.

Kirby Paul Smart is an American football coach who, like many of his colleagues, got his start working in the game on the other side of the field as a player, although he kind of got an early start when it came to coaching. Working for various schools over the years, his story proved that you can go home again, essentially becoming a head coach for his alma mater. Let’s take a look at his career over the years, starting with his net worth.

Kirby Smart Net Worth: $3.75 Million

Kirby Smart’s net worth is estimated to be around $3.75 million. Let’s take a look at his career over the years to see how he came so far.

The Early Years

Smart was born in Montgomery, Alabama, but grew up in Bainbridge, the son of a high school football coach. Smart himself began playing the game while attending Bainbridge High School, going on to play college football at the University of Georgia. Proving to be a good student, he was a four-time member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll and graduated in 1999 with a finance degree. He was undrafted in the 1999 NFL Draft, signing a contract with the Indianapolis Colts, but was cut before the start of the regular season.


1999-2004

Smart began coaching for the University of Georgia in 1999, initially serving as an administrative assistant. Over the upcoming years, he went through different schools in different positions, spending one season at Valdosta State as a defensive backs coach, later being promoted to defensive coordinator, and a graduate assistant at Florida State, where he also earned his master’s degree.


2005-2013

For the 2005 season, he rejoined the Georgia Bulldogs as a running backs coach. The following year saw his only season in the NFL, as the Miami Dolphins safeties coach. In 2007, Smart was hired by Nick Saban to be an assistant coach at the University of Alabama; the following year saw him promoted to defensive coordinator. Proving his work, he was awarded the Broyles Award as the nation’s best assistant coach in 2009, making him the first Alabama assistant coach to win the award. His success almost earned him a contract with the University of Georgia, but he chose to stay with Alabama for the time being. By 2013, he became the highest-paid defensive coordinator in college football.


2014-Present

By 2015, Smart did eventually return to the University of Georgia, becoming the school’s 26th head football coach. By 2018, the University of Georgia and Smart agreed on a lucrative contract extension worth $49 million, essentially making Smart the third-highest paid coach in the SEC, just behind Alabama’s Nick Saban and Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher. Stretching out over seven years, he will net $7 million each year. According to WSB-TV, J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Greg McGarity issued the following statement:

“Kirby has provided an incredible level of energy and excitement to our football program, and we look forward to his leadership for many years to come.”

One person was shot at the Opry Mills shopping mall in Nashville this Thursday. According to officials, the shooting took place inside an Old Navy in the mall and at least one victim was taken to a nearby hospital, where they were said to be in critical condition. With police believing a dispute cause the shooting, conflicting reports have given different numbers of victims. Officers are also attempting an evacuation at the mall.

What happened?

The Metro Nashville Police Department issued the following statement on Twitter:

“BREAKING: Dispute at Opry Mills Mall results in gunfire. One person shot. Suspected shooter in custody. No additional imminent threat known. Mall being swept by MNPD officers as a precaution.”

In a series of posts on Twitter, in addition to retweeting the above post, the Nashville Fire Department confirmed that there had been one victim who was taken to a local hospital and that claims of a second victim were believed to be false:

“Our personnel is on scene at Opry Mills Mall. One patient transported to Vanderbilt in Critical Condition.”

“update: patient is en route to skyline hospital. No other patients right now. A reported second patient was false.”

“We are staging with @MNPDNashville as they clear the mall. No other injuries reported.”

UPDATE: According to WKRN, a 22-year-old man who was shot during the incident later died from his wounds; identified as Demarco Churchwell, the victim endured a neck injury and died shortly after he was taken to TriStar Skyline Medical Center. The gunman, who is currently in police custody, was identified as Justin Golson, who surrendered his gun and told someone to call police at the Opry House’s ticket booth after exiting the mall. Police spokesman Don Aaron confirmed that the shooting was caused by a dispute between the victim and the gunman:

“Indication this has been festering and it wasn’t a spur of the moment thing.”


Nearby schools and businesses were placed on lockdown

According to News Channel 5, one person, the suspected shooter, was in police custody with no known additional imminent threat. As mentioned above, police were also evacuating the mall focusing on areas like Bass Pro, Johnny Rockets, and the food court.

Some locations in the area have also been placed on lockdown in response to the shooting, such as Gaylord Opryland Hotel, with people currently being prohibited from entering or leaving. Some local Metro Nashville Public Schools were also placed on lockout, including Two River’s Middle School, Pennington Elementary School, McGavock Elementary School, Stanford Montessori and Litton Middle School.

Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah Trains With Fear Of Injury

With the announcement of Liverpool advancing to the finals of the UEFA Champions League along with the Golden Boot Award looming close, Mohamed Salah is pulling back the reins a little. Teammate Alberto Moreno recently reported that in training, Salah has been practicing at only 20% in fear of getting injured. But can you blame him? With 31 Premier League goals, Salah has been working hard. He’s been awarded various other titles this season including PFA Player of the Year and though it may seem as though he’s superhuman when it comes to his skills on the field, he is only mortal and as a result, it may be wise to rest his body.

Instagram Photo

Regarding the upcoming match against Real Madrid at the end of the month, Salah has insisted the game is not purely a contest between him and Cristiano Ronaldo, but that doesn’t mean Salah can take it easy. Real is hungry for a third Champions League victory. Not only that, but competition has certainly arisen. Before it was just Ronaldo versus Messi, but Salah has made quite the name for himself this past season– so much so that he could even win FIFA Best Men’s Player Award for 2018. Ronaldo has won this award in both 2016 and 2017. Naturally, he wants to win it again. Therefore, the Portuguese player is expected to arrive at the final on May 26, guns blazing.

Instagram Photo

It’s not the first time this season Salah has worried about his potential performance. In a recent match against Stoke City, Salah threw a punch at Stoke’s Bruno Martins Indi. Though the officials missed it, fans did not and videos of the incident circulated social media. Panic set in for both Liverpool and supporters who waited anxiously to hear whether or not Salah would face a three-game ban. However, after three former referees viewed the footage, they concluded that Salah’s actions didn’t deserve the punishment of a red-card and just like that, the striker was back in the running for the Golden Boot.


Three Sleeper NFL Offenses To Watch For In 2018

With the NFL Draft and free agency over, every front office thinks they’re ready to make a Super Bowl run in 2018. Quarterbacks are the building blocks of a modern NFL team, and every quarterback needs a good supporting cast around him. With that being said, let’s look at three offenses that are looking to take a giant leap forward in 2018.


Chicago Bears

The Bears invested in their franchise quarterback in 2017 by trading up to grab Mitchell Trubisky. Then, they brought in offensive guru Matt Nagy as the new head coach. After that, they went out to get Allen Robinson, Taylor Gabriel, and Trey Burton to give Trubisky more weapons. Finally, they drafted Iowa’s James Daniels to play guard and Memphis’ Anthony Miller as another pass catcher. Don’t forget their excellent offensive line and superstar running back in Jordan Howard. The Bears offense will be a force to be reckoned with in 2018. They made the right moves, grabbing a great mix of both rookies and veterans who can be impact players. If everyone can stay healthy (I’m talking about you Kevin White), they have the potential to be a top 10 offense.


Tampa Bay Buccaneers

This pick has gone on for probably the past four years now, but this is really the year. After drafting running back Ronald Jones out of USC in the second round, the Bucs should have a potent run game. Also, Jameis Winston should finally have the support system that he needs in the pass game with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin on the outside, with their first round pick from last year, tight end O.J Howard running up the seam. Does that mean he’ll stop throwing interceptions? Not necessarily, but Evans, Godwin, and Howard are all big targets who are pretty hard to miss. The offensive line will be a big question mark, but keep an eye on Alex Cappa, a guard out of Humboldt State who was one of the biggest risers during draft season, as a potential impact player.


Denver Broncos

The offense, led by Case Keenum, should see a bit of a resurgence this year. Royce Freeman, their third round pick out of Oregon, is going to be the starting running back from day one, and he’s getting a lot of love from fantasy owners and NFL GM’s. Their second round pick, wide receiver Courtland Sutton, has the highest upside of any receiver in the draft, and now he gets to learn from Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders too! There are a few great sleepers on this team too, at running back, watch out for undrafted free agent Phillip Lindsay out of Colorado. At wide receiver, Carlos Henderson missed his first year because of injury, but he got a lot of love coming out of Louisiana Tech, so keep your eye on him to show some flashes this season. Jake Butt also has a lot of potential at tight end, there was first round talk about him coming out of Michigan before he tore his ACL.

Kappa Sigma Fraternity at the University of North Carolina Charlotte (UNCC) was suspended after a student died when she fell from a party bus earlier this week.

Polly Miranda Rogers, 20, was in a Charlotte Party Charter bus and fell out of the emergency window Tuesday night, 5/2, according to police. She was struck by two vehicles.

On Thursday, 5/4, Kappa Sigma Fraternity suspended their UNCC chapter amid the investigation.

Police say that alcohol was consumed on the bus, but a cause of death is still under review. The company that operates the party bus states on its website that alcohol is allowed on the bus, but that everyone must be at least 21 years old if alcohol is present.

Charlotte Party Charter said they are not responsible for verifying the ages of the passengers.

The fraternity chapter issued a statement Thursday to WBTV that says it will “fully cooperate” with officials.

“The Brothers of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Polly Rogers. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Rogers family and to her loved ones,” the statement read. “We are in the process of conducting an investigation of the event on Tuesday evening. The Kappa Sigma Fraternity will fully cooperate with all investigations of the University and local authorities.”

Rogers was a member of the University’s Zeta Tau Alpha sorority and was studying special education. She also volunteered at the local YMCA with children with autism.

Friends, family, co-workers, and the UNCC community are mourning the loss of someone they say was “loving, adventurous and unforgettable.”

Rogers’ sorority sisters created a GoFundMe page to help with memorial costs.

There will be a vigil at UNCC’s quad in her memory, on Sunday, 5/6.

The Ole Miss chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity has been suspended after “disappointing and troubling activities” were uncovered during a recent hazing investigation.

Ole Miss Dean of Students Mindy Sutton Ross released a statement saying: “Hazing and related behavior that put student health and safety at risk are contrary to the University of Mississippi Creed and will not be tolerated.

Kilauea volcano in Hawaii has erupted near a residential area, prompting a local state of emergency and the mandatory evacuation of 1,700 residents. The volcano is one of five on the island and erupted after a series of earthquakes during the week, including a 5.0 tremor earlier in the day.

According to the Civil Defense Agency, extreme levels of dangerous sulphur dioxide gas have been detected in the area. David Ige, the governor of Hawaii, says he has activated military reservists from the National Guard to help evacuate thousands of people.

Local officials had warned residents all week that they should be prepared to evacuate as an eruption would give little warning.

via Twitter:

High levels of dangerous SO2 gas detected in Hawaii Island evacuation areas. All residents of Leilani Estates and Lanipuna Gardens should evacuate immediately.

I am in contact with Mayor Harry Kim and Hawai‘i County, and the state is actively supporting the county’s emergency response efforts. I have also activated the Hawai‘i National Guard to support county emergency response teams with evacuations and security,” Governor Ige said on Twitter.

Kilauea is a currently active shield volcano in the Hawaiian Islands and the most active of the five volcanoes that together form the island of Hawaiʻi. Located along the southern shore of the island, the volcano is between 300,000 and 600,000 years old and emerged above sea level about 100,000 years ago. It is the second youngest product of the Hawaiian hotspot.

Kilauea means “spewing” or “much spreading” in the Hawaiian language.

  • 1-Ounce Grand Marnier (or Other Orange-Flavored Liqueur)
  • 2-Ounces Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1-Ounce Rose Water (~ Make sure you use “food grade”!)
  • (Optional) Splash of Cold Water – I like mine a little diluted : )
  • For Garnish: Extra Lime Slices, Pink Himalayan Salt, Rosebuds, Jalapeño Slices

How To Make It:

Step 1

If you want to spice your tequila, add a slice of jalapeño to a bottle or jar. The tequila will take on the flavor quickly, so you only need to let it marinate for an hour or two (if that), when using a small jar.

Step 2

Rim your glass with lime juice from the extra lime slices, and salt, if desired. Set aside.

Step 3

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, tequila, Grand Marnier, lime juice and rose water. Shake well. Strain into glass.

Step 4

Garnish!

LeBron James has been on an absolute tear throughout the Eastern Conference semifinals. During Game 2 against the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night, LeBron went off for 43 points, 14 assists and 8 rebounds. That dominance led to a brilliant comment from ESPN’s Mark Jones which turned into the latest internet meme.

“We’ll be right back to LeBronto after this,” Jones said on-air.

Immediately the memes began flying with everyone giving their take on the new king of Toronto — sorry, Drake.

From incredible photoshops to the repurposing of old memes and shots at Drake, there were some gems that surfaced on social media as the Cleveland Cavaliers went on to take a 2-0 series lead.

The best LeBronto memes from Instagram can be seen in the gallery above, while the best Twitter reactions can be seen below.

Next up for the Cavaliers and Raptors is Game 3 in Cleveland on Saturday night. Tip-off is set for 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC. If the Cavs earn another big win, they will be one victory away from advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals where they would take on the winner of the Philadelphia 76ers vs. Boston Celtics series.

In the Western Conference, things are down to the Golden State Warriors, New Orleans Pelicans, Houston Rockets, and Utah Jazz.

New Jersey Superintendent Identified As Local High School’s “Mystery Pooper”

In a shocking twist that’d be more suited for an Adult Swim cartoon, a New Jersey public school superintendent has been identified as the local mystery serial pooper.

Thomas Tramaglini is the superintendent of Kenilworth Public Schools who had allegedly left daily deposits on the football field of a high school in another school district. The high school on the wrong receiving end was Holmdel High.

Tramaglini, 42, was issued citations on Monday, May 30, for public urination or defecation, discarding and dumping of litter, and lewdness, according to the state’s municipal court case database.

Holmdel High School staff alerted a school resource officer and athletic coaches “that they were finding human feces” at or near the track and football field “on a daily basis,” according to a Facebook post by local police.

Tramaglini is scheduled to appear in Holmdel Municipal Court on May 7.

USA Today reports that the superintendent makes $147,504 a year, and “requested and received a paid leave of absence.”

Tramaglini was appointed the Kenilworth Public Schools Superintendent in December 2015. His salary is listed as $147,504 a year, according to public employee records on www.datauniverse.com. Kenilworth is a pre-K to high school district.

Tramaglini requested and received a paid leave of absence from his job at Kenilworth Public Schools “given the nature of those charges,” the district’s board of education wrote in a statement. Paid leave is required by law unless an employee faces an indictment or tenure charges.

Who Is Van Lathan? TMZ Senior Producer Full Information

TMZ reporter Van Lathan recently made headlines standing up to Kanye West, who himself recently made headlines for implying that slavery was a “choice” in a series of posts on Twitter after he appeared at the TMZ Live newsroom. As seen below, the incident appears to be on its way to becoming immortalized as a viral video.

What happened?

During his appearance, West appeared with Harvey Levin and conservative commentator Candace Owens, as he touched upon the Twitter story that made headlines last week. As seen in the above video, West explained about his tweet implying that slavery was a “choice” in the following exchange:

“When you hear about slavery for 400 years—for 400 years? That sounds like a choice. Like, you was there for 400 years and it’s all of y’all? It’s like we’re mentally in prison.”

“It was really just my subconscious. It was a feeling I had, you know. Like, people, we’re taught how to think. We’re taught how to feel. We don’t know how to think for ourselves. We don’t know how to feel for ourselves. People say, ‘feel free,’ but they don’t really want us to feel free. I felt a freedom.”

West and the two commenters then talked about how Trump was popular in the hip-hop community before his political aspirations became a reality:

“I just love Trump. That’s my boy. You know, so many rappers—you look at a video of Snoop Dogg lovin’ Trump, but then he get in the office and now they don’t love him. Trump is one of rap’s favorite people.”

However, not everyone in the newsroom was happy with West’s explanation. One TMZ reporter, Van Lathan, particularly became upset when West asked the newsroom:

“Do you feel like I’m thinking free and feeling free?”

Lathan then gave the following, lengthy response:

“I actually don’t think you’re thinking anything. I think what you’re doing right now is actually the absence of thought. And the reason why I feel like that is because, Kanye, you’re entitled to your opinion.”

“You’re entitled to believe whatever you want. But there is fact, and real-world, real-life consequence behind everything that you just said. And while you are making music and being an artist and living the life that you’ve earned by being a genius, the rest of us in society have to deal with these threats to our lives.”

“We have to deal with the marginalization that has come from the 400 years of slavery that you said, for our people, was a choice. Frankly, I’m disappointed, I’m appalled and, brother, I am unbelievably hurt by the fact that you have morphed into something, to me, that’s not real.”

“Stand on all the coffee tables you want to stand on. Say whatever you want to say. But don’t throw a stone and then hide your hand like the rest of us are just going to swallow it. Ye, be ye. I am off it forever. Do you, but remember, the life that I live is as a real person, an actual person.”

At one point during the confrontation, West walked over to Lathan’s desk to apologize, saying that he was sorry he “hurt” him, but Lathan issued the following statement:

“Bro, you’ve got to be responsible. Your voice is too big.”


Who is Van Lathan?

According to Hollywood LifeLathan originally worked as a tour guide for the TMZ Hollywood tour bus. Complex confirmed that he is now a senior producer for the company.

According to Your Tango, Lathan hosts a podcast, The Red Pill, where he talks about his opinion on current events. Sports journalism is a big focus of his show; one notable story had him discuss the abuse women in athletes’ lives often go through. One of his latest episodes, however, was called “Wake Up Mr. West,” where he discussed West’s social media presence with Charlamagne Tha God.

Lathan later made the following statement with Complex about becoming part of a viral moment:

“The misinformation that’s coming out his mouth can actually affect people and people need to have the opportunity to hear both sides of things and if he’s going to sit up there on a pulpit, he was up, raised above the rest of us sitting on the TMZ Live stage talking.

“It wasn’t my job to destroy Kanye West or make a viral moment. It was to make sure what people heard doesn’t resonate with us all. The point was to make sure the opposite method of thinking was represented and we do that every day here.”

Who Is Adam Warlock? Cosmic Marvel’s Most Important Character Explained

Adam Warlock is probably the most vital character of  Cosmic Marvel…that you’ve never even heard of.  Though this character has been central to the history of Thanos, the Infinity Stones, and the Guardians of the Galaxy, for some reason he has yet to make any kind of appearance. His absence has been so notable that directors James Gunn and the Russo Bro’s have had to defend their omission of the character from the first two GOTG movies and Avengers: Infinity War to fans multiple times.

Still, while it may take longer than first thought, it seems to only be a matter of time before Adam makes his live-action debut. An Easter Egg in a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 post-credit scene appears to have set the stage for his arrival that some fans believe could be as early as next year’s Avengers 4. To prep for Adam’s appearance, here are some must-know facts about the enigmatic hero.

Potential Spoilers For “Avengers: Infinity War” follow


“I think I shall call him…Adam”

In GOTG 2 our heroes encounter an advanced race of golden humanoids known as the Sovereign, who reproduce through artificial means in order to ensure genetic perfection. At the end of the film, the Sovereign’s High Priestess Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki) reveals her plan to create an even more perfect being, one who could hopefully destroy the heretical Guardians. As the Priestess ruminates on her creation’s abilities, the camera cuts to a gilded pod wherein the creature Ayesha dubs ‘Adam’ gestates.

This is the MCU adaption of the creation of Adam, as well as a profoundly altered version of Ayesha. Initially, both Adam and Ayesha (better known as ‘Kismet’) originated on Earth from the attempts of scientists to create the genetically perfect being. The first attempt led to a golden being simply called ‘Him’ emerging from an organic cocoon and, entirely dismissive of his creators and their nefarious plans, flying off into the galaxy. “Him” would eventually become Adam Warlock, cosmic messiah and primary bearer of the Soul Gem. Kismet or ‘Her’ was born from the scientists’ second attempt and is generally seen as Adam’s female twin and equal, with roughly the same abilities and penchant for gestational cocoons.


His Own Worst Enemy

While Adam has served time and time again as the foil against Thanos, the Titan is far from his worst enemy. That honor goes to a being known as the Magus, who also happens to be a twisted future version of Adam. The Magus was responsible for the death of billions, including Gamora’s entire race, as he led a crusade of hate against the galaxy as the head of an organization called the Universal Church of Truth. Thanos has even teamed up with Adam and other comic heroes multiple times to defeat the Magnus or attempt to change Adam’s fate of being corrupted into the malignant being.

While cryptic comments from the MCU team don’t seem inclined to confirm Adam’s involvement in Avengers 4, it’s highly unlikely that his evil counterpart could make an appearance.


The Soul Stone

While Adam is one of the most significant bearers of the Infinity Gauntlet he is probably even better known for his connection to the Soul Stone, which he typically wore on his forehead (think Vision and the Mind Stone). As its bearer, Adam had access and partial control over a heavenlike pocket universe within the Stone known as ‘Soulworld’ which could draw in and contain the souls of other beings. By containing and then releasing friends, enemies and even himself within Soulworld, Adam could essentially return the dead to life.

The importance of the Stone’s power over life and death and the Soulworld is clear to anyone who has seen Avengers: Infinity War.

While there is no guarantee it functions in the same manner as it’s comic counterpart, it’s entirely possible that the souls of those killed by the Gauntlet could have been pulled into the Soul Stone and therefore eventually be restored to life.


We will have to wait until next year before we can know for sure how, if at all, Adam Warlock and/or the Soul Stone’s capabilities will be utilized in Avengers 4. Until then you can learn more about the character and his connection to the stones and gauntlet in the comic Infinity War was based on, Infinity Gauntlet, as well as the current Infinity Countdown event.
