Upon his return he started rehearsing with the band. As we all know music is about what sound feels right, there were some…

During a recent event featuring CaRiMi and Nickenson Prud’homme, a disturbance was reported involving an overly inebriated patron at Marabou Cafe. Witnesses described the individual as disruptive, removing his shirt and bumping into others, though not violently. The situation escalated when security was notified and intervened. According to onlookers, the response from the security team was excessively forceful; the man, reportedly not resisting, was continually struck by the guards. He allegedly questioned the guards about the necessity of the physicality since he was not retaliating. This incident is not isolated; previous events at Marabou Cafe have similarly seen accusations of…

Kelvin (50 Cent) Martin was famous for his short stature and his brazenness. He stood 5 feet, 2 inches tall and weighed 120 pounds. He carried two guns in his waistband — a .357 Magnum and a Colt .45. So armed, he openly paced Fort Greene’s Myrtle Avenue, sticking up anyone who crossed his path, from store clerks to rival crooks. In 2005, Czar Entertainment, a music-production company in Manhattan, released a documentary about Martin’s life, “Infamous Times: The Original 50 Cent.” Jimmy Rosemond, Czar’s CEO, knew Martin from Rikers Island, where they were both imprisoned as juveniles. Rosemond says…
