MOUNT OLIVE, Miss. — The family and friends who grew up with native son Steve McNair didn’t have to say goodbye to the ex-NFL quarterback by themselves Friday night. The tiny town of Mount Olive had plenty of company.
People — both black and white, young and old — drove in from nearby states and joined the locals parking cars and trucks on the side of the four-lane divided highway that runs beside Reeves Funeral Home. Some left cars across the highway, dodging traffic to join the line of people waiting to pay their last respects.
The visitation in McNair’s hometown followed two days of mourning in Nashville where thousands remembered the 2003 co-MVP of the NFL who led the Tennessee Titans to the 2000 Super Bowl. A capacity crowd of 8,000 is anticipated Saturday at his funeral in Reed Green Coliseum on the University of Southern Mississippi campus in nearby Hattiesburg.
It was a far different turnout than the modest funeral for Sahel Kazemi, the 20-year-old girlfriend who shot the married McNair to death in his sleep on the Fourth of July and then shot herself in the head. Her brief funeral in Florida was closed to outsiders.
Ashanti, Vanessa Williams, and daughter, Jillian attended the infamous Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Movie Premiere in New York last night. The movie comes out on July 15…moving right along. My daughter will be there I’m sure-she hearts Harry Potter movies and books. *sigh*
Well Luv Muffins The Game is once again crying for some much needed publicity and attention. I guess since his apology to 50 Cent went unanswered then his wanna be starting something beef with Jay-Z fell by the waist side. He decided in a very very desperate and hood elaborate way to seek some attention from Jay-Z. The Game decided in his small Disney mind that disrespecting the one and only Mrs. Carter aka Beyonce in his Madrid show last night would force Hova to address him. Sorry Game but in case you did not know- the crown of a king can’t and won’t be refitted. Our president is black…sit your behind down somewhere…UPGRADE your music and maybe then…*sigh* The lyrics are below thanks to Necolebitchie.com…the video is also online but I’m not posting it…LOL
This isn’t about Beef, This isn’t about Destiny I’m in Madrid banging the c-p-t You got a bad b*tch word, Ain’t no p*ssy like hers, Just ask the Mavericks, Rockets, and the Spurs I mean… I mean my b*tch don’t slang p*ssy like that… My b*tch swangs p*ssy on a n***a from the back … So F*ck Jay-z, You old azz ni**a
I was first introduced to Mario’s new single, “Break Up”, via The Core DJ’s playlist months ago and I absolutely adored it forever. And, yes word was sent to Sean Garrett that I loved the song…**giggles**. The CD, And Then There Was Me, is set to be released in September. Enjoy the video!
