We stumbled upon this shocking documentary on YouTube. Please be advised, trigger warning.
Copied from YouTube:
In Afghanistan, in the midst of war and endemic poverty, an ancient, illegal tradition, has re-emerged across the country: Many hundreds of boys, often as young as 11, are being lured off the streets on the promise of a new life, many unaware that their real fate is to be used for entertainment and sex.
These young boys are called Bacha Bareesh, or beardless boys, and the practice itself is called Bacha Bazi (play boy). Powerful men target boys, make them dress up as females, wear makeup, and dance in men’s parties. These young boys are often kidnapped; Most of them are from poor families, who work in the street, or they are the breadwinner of their families.
With remarkable access inside a sexual exploitation ring operating in Afghanistan, an Afghan journalist investigates this illegal practice, talking with the boys and their masters, and documenting how the Afghan authorities responsible for stopping these crimes are sometimes themselves complicit in the practice.
The world is going wild. Be grateful for every day you live and cherish what you have.

February 21, 1965 | Entering the auditorium at last, Malcolm cried “As-salaam alaikum [Peace be unto you].” The audience replied in unison: “Wa-alaikum salaam [And unto you be peace].” Suddenly a disturbance broke out several rows back. “Get your hand off my pockets!” a man shouted. “Don’t be messing with my pockets!” At the distraction, Malcolm raised his hands. “Now brothers!” he cried, “Be cool, don’t get excited . . .”
As he spoke, three men rushed down the aisle toward him. Eight feet away, they opened fire. One man with a double-barreled sawed-off shotgun blasted Malcolm at point-blank range. “There was what sounded like an explosion,” said a dazed woman.
Minutes after the shooting, Malcolm’s body was lifted from the stage, placed on a rolling bed that had been wheeled over from the nearby Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, and rushed to an emergency operating room. A team of doctors laid open his chest, tried to revive him via open-heart massage. But Malcolm X was dead.

Peace be unto his family. 🙏🏽
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the cause of death is as yet unknown.
Irv Gotti, a noted record executive, music producer, and entrepreneur best known as the founder of Murder Inc. Records has died, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. The cause of death is as yet unknown.
Rising to prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Gotti played a key role in hip-hop and R&B records of the time, working with artists like Ja Rule, Ashanti and DMX, each of whom saw massive commercial success. His signature production style blended hip-hop beats with melodic hooks, influencing a wave of rap and R&B crossover hits. Among them: the multi-platinum “Always On Time” by Ja Rule featuring Jennifer Lopez and Ashanti’s “Foolish.”
Before launching Murder Inc., Gotti worked as an A&R at Def Jam, where he helped bring DMX, Jay-Z and Ja Rule to the label, which was considering one of the most successful imprints of Universal Music. Under the moniker DJ Irv, he produced the song “Can I Live” from Jay-Z’s 1996 debut, Reasonable Doubt.
His career faced setbacks in the mid-2000s due to an FBI investigation into alleged ties with drug kingpin Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff. Though ultimately acquitted, the case damaged Murder Inc.’s reputation. In recent years, Gotti had reinvented himself, expanding into television with the creation of BET’s Tales, an anthology series blending hip-hop and storytelling.
This is a developing story…
