Her old friend T’yanna Wallace, who’s from New York, helped her bring a bit of the East Coast to the West Coast. ‘Who better to represent New York than Biggie Smalls?’ I thought as I thought about how to bring that theme to Los Angeles “According to the Business Insider interview, Myricks explained. In addition to making money together, Tyra Myricks and T’yanna Wallace believed that their new venture would bring a lot of advantages to them.
The restaurant serves New York-style pizza, beef and broccoli, as well as egg rolls made with chopped cheese. The restaurant is also reportedly featuring subway car details and bodega vibes, according to The Eater.
Originally scheduled to open on Saturday (June 12), Juicy Pizza will first operate in the evening hours. It will also offer merchandise created by Tyra Myricks as well as an African-owned cannabis lounge for members.
In addition to building Juicy Pizza, T’yanna Wallace and Myricks will now start a new business. Myricks owns her own clothing line, Wealth, and Wallace owns Notoriouss, a clothing store named after her late father.

THE WORLD’S FIRST-EVER NFT AUCTION OF AUTOMOTIVE ART WILL BE HELD BY RICK ROSS IN CRYPTOCURRENCY
With the release of his history-making debut, Rick Ross is the latest hip-hop star to make a splash in the cryptocurrency market.
In a report from Forbes, the music mogul and producer duo Cool & Dre teamed up with Porsche 911 art car designer Rich B. Caliente to create an NFT.
As Rick Ross wrote in an email, “Painting with the can as art is both a way to express the culture and to do something new and creative.”
In sum, Caliente stated, “We had a lot of synergy and energy while doing this project.” A tangible asset is created when all of our relationships and passions are brought together.
Slashdot, a management consulting firm affiliated with the NFT, helped launch the Bitcoin collaboration. In contrast to most NFTs, the Porsche auction also included ownership of the art and the purchase of the car.
Forbes reports that Producer Dre from Cool & Dre said that NFTs will prosper in the music space. Being able to keep our creations is satisfying and exciting.
Based upon the Metaverse and 3D animation the Porsche 911 NFT was built upon, Slashdot co-founder Brad Flaherty described the Porsche 911 NFT as a virtual reality creation that will “come to life inside of a digital world.”
A portion of the proceeds from the NFT auction, reported by Reuters last Friday (June 4), went to the South Florida-based Irie Foundation. Up until June 14, blockchain cryptocurrency, Ethereum, will be accepted as payment for the NFT.
With the market getting bigger and bigger, music-cryptocolumbia collaborations represent a huge opportunity. In addition to the NFT space, hip-hop artists such as Waka Flocka have also gotten involved as a way to return money and ownership back to creatives.
Among the musicians who have entered cryptocurrency and NFT are Lil Yachty, Akon, Quincy Jones, and many others.

FORMERLY THROWN AWAY AT A DUMPSTER, FREDDIE FIGGERS BECAME A MILLIONAIRE TECH ENTREPRENEUR DESPITE ALL ODDS
It doesn’t have to be your circumstances that define you.
Freddie Figgers found out when he was eight that his biological mother abandoned him near a dumpster shortly after he was born, according to BBC News.
“Listen, Fred, I’m going to tell you the truth. I adopted you out of foster care because I didn’t wish to send you through foster care.” Freddie recalls his father telling him, “You are my son.” Your biological mother threw you away, and you and Betty Mae adopted you out of foster care.
He describes the thoughts that went through his mind after finding out that his adopted parents found him near a dumpster.
He told me that and I felt unwanted and that made me feel trash.” said Freddie. I remember he grabbed my shoulder and said, “Listen, don’t ever let that bother you.'”
Although Freddie continued to be plagued by the circumstances surrounding his adoption throughout his youth, he persevered.
I was called a lot of names when I was younger, including ‘dumpster baby,’ ‘trash can boy,’ ‘who wants you,’ and ‘you’re dirty.'” said Freddie.
In 1989, Nathan and Betty Mae were living in Quincy, a rural community in North Florida, when Freddie was born.
After fostering many children, they chose to adopt Freddie when he was just two days old.
It was always my father’s intention to help others, stopping by the roadside to help strangers and feeding the homeless, he said. The reason I wanted to be like him was because he adopted and raised me.”
In the meantime, Freddie and Nathan would do “dumpster diving” on the weekends, looking for old things that could still be useful.
Freddie wanted a computer.
“I was always fascinated by computers, and there is an old saying that ‘one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. During that time, gateway computers weren’t in our budget.”
At the age of nine, Freddie found a broken Mac while browsing in a Goodwill store with his father. The rest is history.
“When I got home and the computer wouldn’t turn on, I took it apart,” said Freddie.
His determination would not let up until he was able to get the computer up again.
“When I inspected it, I found some damaged capacitors. Using parts I had from my father’s radio alarm clock, I built a circuit board.” I used my father’s soldering gun and I also had radios and alarm clocks.
A few attempts later, the computer powered on, and Freddie was convinced that technology was what he wanted to do the rest of his life.
In today’s world, Freddie Figgers is a millionaire inventor of inventions that include a GPS tracker, designed as a result of the Alzheimer’s disease his father, Natham, suffered from.
Within a month of selling the tracker rights, he lost his father.
Freddie continues to break into the tech industry, and he is married to attorney Natlie Figgers. Instilling this advice into their daughter is something he says he will do together as a couple.
The world may seem cold, but you must never give up.
The trajectory of Freddie Figgers’ life could’ve been very different if he’d given up.
He also offers this piece of advice for others: “Don’t allow your circumstances to define you.”

It was reported on eBay that a pair of unauthorized Kobe 6 Protro sneakers called “Mambacita” was being sold for almost $7,000.
In a tweet released Friday (June 4), eBay Sneakers wrote: “Thanks for your concern.” There is no longer an entry on this company’s website. According to Complex, the sneakers have also been removed from GOAT and Flight Club, while StockX still has them listed for sale.
In response to reports that someone had purchased shoes Bryant designed in memory of her late husband and daughter, Vanessa Bryant took to social media on Wednesday (June 2).
My daughter Gianna inspired me to work on this shoe,” Vanessa Bryant wrote. As an exclusive colorway of her daddy’s shoes, it was to be called MAMBACITA. The colors I chose were inspired by her uniform, the number 2 she wore like Gigi Smith’s, the inside pattern, Kobe’s signature instead of Gigi’s, and the details of the shoe (butterfly, wings, halo).”
Furthermore, she wondered how someone had been able to purchase the “Mambacita” shoes before her and her daughters received them.
There is no approval for the sale of MAMBACITA shoes. As much as I wanted the shoes to be sold to honor my daughter, ALL the proceeds would go to a foundation I support called @mambamambacitasports, but I did not extend the Nike contract.” In the first place, MAMBACITA shoes were not authorized to be made. I nor my girls have received these pairs from Nike.”
As of April, Vanessa Bryant rejected the sneaker company’s renewal offer for her husband. Her estate and the estate of her late husband were “frustrated” by Nike’s decision to limit the availability of his products after his death and when he retired. MAMBACITA is a trademark and global brand managed by Vanessa Bryant.
