Outkast rapper Big Boi's uncle is fatally shot in horrific road-rage incident

The Outkast member Big Boi suffered a family tragedy when his uncle was shot and killed in a road-rage incident in Atlanta, Georgia. Remoin Patton, 62, the uncle of the 50-year-old rapper (real name: Antwan André Patton), was found dead by officers on June 16, shortly after 5:30 p.m., on the 200 block of Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard NW, according to the Atlanta Police Department. The department announced Friday that two people have since been arrested in connection with the killing. Big Boi is responsible for founding one of the most acclaimed hip-hop duos of all time, Outkast, along with André 3000 (real name: André Lauren Benjamin). has contacted Big Boi's representative for comment but hasn't yet heard back. According to police, Patton had been behind the wheel and was attempting to make a turn when he got into a verbal argument with another vehicle. 'During the altercation, the victim was shot, causing him to crash his vehicle into a vacant residence,' the APD's press release states. Patton was later found by officers with a gunshot to the back, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. 'The car just turned and crashed into the house. Actually the double windows were right here,' Chris Walker, who was housesitting the property for its landlord, told WSBTV. 'I'm like, "What the heck happened to my place that I'm staying now?"' Walker continued. 'I never thought it would be this property.' Footage from the station shows that Patton appears to have hit a support post on the home's covered porch and crashed through a section of its front wall, which was subsequently covered with a tarp. Police announced Friday that a suspected gunman had been arrested as part of its investigation. Jabyrion Crumbley, 18, was said to have been joined by his attorney when he turned himself in to police on Wednesday, July 2, at the Fulton County Jail, where he was booked. Crumbley has been charged with murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. 'The car just turned and crashed into the house.

Trump is more powerful than ever. Can anyone stop him?

Have we reached 'peak Trump'? As the US president performed a victory lap this week after muscling his enormous package of tax and spending cuts through Congress, he reflected on the differences between his first and second terms. 'I think I have more power now,' he told a rally in Iowa on Thursday. 'More gravitas … more power.' Having spent the past few weeks deploying troops to Los Angeles, authorising strikes on Iran and hinting at running for an unconstitutional third term, Trump had hit his self-imposed deadline for passing the One Big Beautiful Bill on July 4. With typical bombast, he announced he would sign it into law beneath a flypast of B-2 Spirit bombers, F-22 Raptors and F-35 stealth fighters. Only weeks ago he shut down the streets of Washington for another military parade, which was organised to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the US army but which happened to coincide with his own 79th birthday. Protesters against Trump have taken to staging demonstrations under the banner of 'No Kings'. But speaking in the gleaming White House, where gilded ornaments have been brought in to accord with Trump's tastes, the president insisted he was no monarch. 'I don't feel like a king,' he said recently, against his golden backdrop. 'I have to go through hell to get stuff approved.' In truth, there is little to curb him. The Republicans effectively control the three pillars of US government: they hold the presidency and both houses of Congress, and the Supreme Court has a 6-3 split in favour of conservative justices. The saga over the One Big Beautiful Bill demonstrated how tame resistance to Trump is on Capitol Hill, where Republicans are so cowed by him that those brave enough to speak out prefer to resign than face the wrath of the Maga base. This week the Republican senator Thom Tillis criticised the cuts to Medicaid, which provides health insurance to the poorest Americans, in the One Big Beautiful Bill. Then he immediately announced he would stand down instead of defending his seat at next year's midterms. • One Big Beautiful Bill summary: what does it mean for Medicaid? Trump has nominated his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, to take Tillis's North Carolina seat. 'She grew up there,' he said. Most world leaders, no matter their electoral successes, have to answer to the stock markets. Yet Trump has seemingly forced Wall Street to accept his protectionist trade agenda after months of turbulence. The Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq have all surged in recent days. And he looks like the victor in his row with Elon Musk, who has watched Tesla's value fall while Trump has swelled his own fortune by embarking on cryptocurrency ventures that blur the line between business and politics. So can the president be stopped? The Democrats have faint hopes of restricting Trump's power by winning seats in the midterms next November. They believe they can reclaim the House of Representatives, though the Senate looks more challenging. The left of the party has been energised by the campaign of the youthful Zohran Mamdani, the frontrunner in the New York mayoral elections. Yet Trump, a relentless campaigner who gave freewheeling speeches in Iowa and Florida this week as part of a packed schedule that would have surely exhausted his predecessor, appears up for the fight. Despite his age there is little sign Trump's stamina is waning — nor his appetite for power. At the end of the week in which he succeeded in passing flagship legislation, he returned to a refrain from his first spell in office and the campaign trail,by sharing online the front page of the New York Post with the headline: 'Tired of winning yet?'

Players to have social media screened before entering US for World Cup

Foreign players competing in next year's World Cup in the US will have their social media screened for posts supporting terrorism. Around 1,000 players from 31 competing nations – the US will be exempt – require a P-1 visa to enter the country and take part in sports' biggest global event. The visa requires them to give details of any social media platform they have used in the past five years, including their username or handle, on a form known as a DS-160. Similar requirements will be imposed on the media, including commentators, entering on what is known as an I-visa. The screening of social media, which began in 2019, has been ramped up by the Trump administration, with officials looking for what they regard as anti-Semitism and pro-Palestinian postings. This could raise problems for stars like Egypt's Mohamed Salah, who in 2023 posted a video on X calling for the attacks on Gaza to stop. 'The people of Gaza need food, water and medical supplies urgently,' he said. 'All lives are sacred and must be protected. The massacres need to stop. Families are being torn apart.' Egypt is highly likely to qualify for the tournament in the US next year. Algeria, which currently leads its qualification group, has been outspoken on the issue, offering to host Palestinian matches in its territory. Former Arsenal midfielder and Egyptian international, Mohamed Elneny, has also supported Palestine on social media. In 2021, he tweeted pictures of Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third-holiest site in Islam, accompanied by the caption: 'My heart and my soul and my support for you Palestine.' Turkey, which has a strong chance of qualifying for next year's tournament, has also seen leading players, including winger Kerem Aktürkoğlu, speak out in favour of Palestinians in Gaza. A planned clash between Turkey's two leading clubs, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe, in Saudi Arabia was cancelled after the teams wanted to wear shirts highlighting Gaza's plight. Other high-profile supporters of the Palestinian cause include French international Wesley Fofana, who paraded the Palestinian flag across Wembley in 2021 after his team at the time, Leicester City, won the FA Cup. Gary Lineker who, following his departure from the BBC is widely tipped to join broadcaster TNT, could also face problems after he posted a pro-Palestinian video on Instagram, featuring a rat – a symbol associated with anti-Semitism. Although Linker apologised, he remained unrepentant over his right to speak out on the issue. 'If you are silent on Gaza, you are complicit,' he said. As things stand, the strictest controls are being imposed on students and those on cultural exchange visas, with applicants obliged to make their social media settings 'public' – which means they can be read at the time they apply for a visa. Lawyers expect this requirement to be extended to other classes of visas in the next few months. 'The focus is all about anti-Semitism and pro-Palestine, commentary that caused a lot of students to get caught out. And I think it's probably sending a bit further to anti-Trump sentiments, anti-government sentiments,' immigration lawyer Christi Hufford Jackson told The Telegraph. Even under the current arrangements, footballers will have to make their phones and computers open for inspection when entering the US, which means their social media activity will be available to immigration officers at airports. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed to The Telegraph that the requirement applies to all travellers. Visitors turned away at US border While such searches are extremely rare, there have been anecdotal reports of visitors to the US being turned away at the border because of anti-Trump material found on their phones. 'The Department of State has announced expanded social media vetting for visa applicants,' Sharvari Dalal-Dheini, the senior director of Government Relations at the American Immigration Lawyers told The Telegraph. 'While their current targets are students who are politically active, a consular officer has broad discretion and could use that to force other visa applicants, including athletes coming to compete in the World Cup, to undergo extreme social media vetting.' Fifa, which is running the World Cup, did persuade the Trump administration to lift restrictions on teams and officials from countries subject to Mr Trump's sweeping travel ban. The ban extends to those travelling to the US from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Congo-Brazzaville, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. However, it accepts that players and officials will be subject to the normal screening process.
