How many song titles are on the billboard charts? When You Gotta Choose Between Being Kidnapped or Having Herpes

This week in black twitter aka black people news R Kelly and Usher have been the talk of the town. R Kelly has been accused of running a cult of woman and forcing them to have sex with him. Recently, a former member of this cult has came out and exposed R Kelly of this group. I think its a funny story honestly. To read up more on this story click this link here: http://www.newsmax.com/TheWire/r-kelly-cult-women/2017/07/17/id/802170/

Today I decided to poke fun and created a video explaining the R Kelly from my mind. I used classic R Kelly song titles to explain the story. Can you tell me how many of the records are on the billboard charts? Check it out below:

Usher on the other hand has been keeping a secret and its been costing him. Apparently, hes given one of his sex partners from the past Herpes! Aint, that some shit!! I heard Usher had some green stuff oozing from his d*ck! CRAZY!! He spent 1.1M dollars to keep this a secret. Well...To LATE fro that. To read up more on that story check it here: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/report-usher-paid-1-1m-woman-allegedly-gave-herpes-article-1.3339294

I took the same idea I did with R Kelly video and did one for Usher as well. Can you tell me how many of those records were on the billboard charts? Check it out below:

4 in the morning on July 4th

Late Night Post.....Currently back home on the east coast. Thoughts are rambling everywhere. I've came to the conclusion that I've done a lot of attending events but not enough networking. I've shaken hands and interviewed many people that I've always looked up to but didn't leave them anything to remember me for. Yeah, they may remember me as the host that has the stammer (a few do remember me as that) but I didn't leave them with any point of contact besides maybe my instagram.

So, my first goal once I get back to Cali is to create my business cards and BYOD merchandise. The past 6 months I've been dealing with a job that I wasn't happy at. I would literally be in the "sunken place" every time I would step into work. My mood would change for the bad. My vibe would be depressing. My energy would change for the worst. My body would tell me all these signs but I would continue to show up for work because I NEED THE CHECK! I was a prisoner to the "security of a check". Recently, I've decided to split ways from that job and now I need a way to make ends meet. I believe in my brand and it's time to commit 100%. I should have ALREADY made merchandise while I was employed but I would always push it off due to work.

Enough talk...more action. BYOD merchandise is on the way. Please support a brother when the merch drops because lord knows I need it lol.
