Whew! Normally, artists mind their business when it comes to calling out who belongs and who doesn’t in the music industry. It’s practically an unwritten rule. But clearly, Anie Alerte didn’t get the memo, because sis pulled up boldly and started naming names like she was handing out report cards! In a moment that had us clutching our headphones, Anie decided to let the world know exactly which artists she feels she’s better than and in what department they simply can’t touch her. And while she dished out a little praise, it was the backhanded compliments that really set the…

The Haitian band diSip is turning a new page, at least on paper. On March 20, 2025, the group issued a press release announcing the appointment of Schoelcher Destin of Joys Management as their new manager.

But beneath the surface, fans and industry insiders are asking the same questions, Will this actually mark a new beginning for diSip,…

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, to the rowdiest, wildest extravaganza in American political history, where the spotlight never dims, the clowns have seized the stage, and the elephants are no longer just a party symbol but the ones actually running the joint. Under this big top of the Oval Office, behold as Ringmaster Donald J. Trump presides over a spectacle so bombastic, even Barnum and Bailey would pack up their tents in shame. But don’t wander off for your popcorn yet, folks. Enter the show’s most unpredictable act: Elon Musk, the tech billionaire who waltzes in without an official…

It’s been 67 days since Donald J. Trump reclaimed the Oval Office as the 47th president of the United States thanks to his tech sugar daddy Elon Musk, who dropped $100 million and allegedly unleashed a bot army that could convince your grandma her crockpot voted Republican. Since then, mornings in America feel like waking up hungover in a clown car parked outside a burning circus tent. The national vibe? “What the f*ck did he break today?” And somehow, the answer is always: more than yesterday. Say what you will about Trump, but the man is consistent, consistently f*cking up…

April 1, 2025. In another dramatic episode of the ongoing White House reality show, President Trump has decided it’s time to deport immigrants from Haiti, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba. Why? Apparently because it was Monday, or maybe because someone brought him decaf. Either way, around 530,000 immigrants just had their legal status pulled, just like that. No real explanation has been given. Just urgency. The kind of urgency that shows up when the polls are down and cable news isn’t talking about you enough. Deportations are scheduled to begin April 31. That date doesn’t actually exist, but given the current…

149 Repeat Offender Arrested for Stalking and Burglary in Miami A Reflection of a Bigger Problem. Miami has once again been forced to confront the reality of repeat offenders roaming the streets, with the latest case being 26-year-old Mike Kevin Jacques, who was arrested Tuesday and charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling and stalking.

Two heartbreaking cases in Massachusetts have drawn attention to the urgent need for mental health awareness in the Haitian community. These tragedies, where young men took the lives of their own mothers, reflect a larger crisis—one that is often misunderstood and stigmatized within Haitian culture. Instead of recognizing mental illness as a medical condition, many within the community attribute such incidents to Vodou, curses, or supernatural forces, which delays critical mental health intervention. The following cases serve as tragic reminders of what can happen when mental health remains unaddressed, and they highlight the cultural barriers that prevent many Haitian families…

Haiti is among the countries that are not eligible for social media monetization on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. The reasons for this restriction stem from financial, economic, legal, and infrastructural challenges.

Haiti faces several challenges in this regard: Limited Financial Services: Many international financial services, including PayPal, Stripe, and other digital payment processors, either do not operate in…
