A number of about 40 concerned fathers have joined forces to make their children’s school in Louisiana a safer place for education. According to part of CBS News, which aired Friday (October 22), dedicated fathers formed Dads on Duty after 23 students were arrested just three times at Southwood High School. And while they may not have formal training in college counseling or criminal justice, administrators seem to follow any extra help parents provide.
Local Dad’s taking the lead
“We’re fathers who have come to the conclusion that the best people who will be able to take care of our kids are…? That’s us,” said Michael LaFitte, creator of Dads on Duty. One student went so far as to say, can you believe “the school was” that he’s glad the fathers appeared. It’s safe to say that Dads on Duty has certainly made their presence known, despite their short tenure.
The group hopes to stay at Southwood High School forever and influence more fathers to create chapters across Louisiana and nationwide.” Unfortunately, not every child has a father figure at home or a nurturing male role model. So just being here makes a big change,” the fathers said. Basically, they make funny jokes such as, “OH, hey, I’m wearing an untied shoe,” but in fact it’s tied,” commented another student.
Each of the dads who are part of Dads on Duty take turns patrolling Southwood High School on different shifts. Each morning, they welcome students from Southwood High School and “help maintain an environment for education instead of fighting,” CBS says.
Since the fathers arrived on the high school grounds, there have been a lot of dad jokes, serious appearances, and not a single act of violence. “I immediately felt safe,” one of the students said during the segment. “We have stopped fighting; people started attending classes as usual. “

Nas Adds Cigars to His Expansive Investment Portfolio
Rapper and entrepreneur Nas has had a very successful career on the music charts, but he’s also been making some serious coin in the business world lately.
NAS role with Escobar Cigars
Nas, a rapper and actor from Queens, New York, has been adding cigars to his expansive investment portfolio. As a part of his new role, the New York rap icon will own shares in Escobar Cigars, an upstart record label. The deal envisions Nas providing advice to the three-year-old company as it revises its e-commerce operations and products as part of the agreement.
Escobar Cigars marketing plan
As part of his strategic plan, Escobar is developing a line of handmade blunt wraps and will launch a brand-new cigar collection with the rapper on board, making it easy for him to capitalize on the fast-growing cannabis market. With stigmas being swept away, pot consumers are now willing to spend big bucks on high-end smoking accessories like wraps, tabletop lighters and vanity trays.
Nas Makes Another Smart Investment
Nas has never been one to shy away from the latest trends in investments. After unveiling his enterprise, Queensbridge Venture Partners, he invested $15 million into Lyft and $40 million in Mass Appeal Media. As of 2018, Escobar Cigars was launched by its parent company Puros Privados, which is one of the largest cigar makers. Both their headquarters and manufacturing facilities are in Estel*, Nicaragua. Escobar has two different lines, the Natural and the Maduro, under which it offers its cigars.
The rapper releases his new album Expensive Pain and reminds people why he’s one of the best rappers alive.
Meek Mill is an artist who knows how to find the sweet spot. Expensive Pain is one of his best albums, with eighteen songs of lyrical brilliance. With this album, Meek tries new sounds and shows fans different sides of himself, which is interesting. Encompassing 12 tracks, Meek Mill has reminded us why he deserves so much more credit.
Meek Mill releases Expensive Pain album
Expensive Pain, the second new release from rapper Meek Mill since his courtroom drama and sentencing of 12 months in prison, has been released to help people forget about the turmoil and remember how he is one of the best rappers alive.
Meek Mill has earned himself as one of the best rappers alive
He poses this distinction by combining his clever wordplay and powerful lyrics with his enthusiasm and feelings on everyday life. On October 1, 2021, the album as a whole hit the shelves. In an interview, Meek Mill revealed the story behind the album’s title. He explains that his goal was for this album to be reflective of his natural life.
The commercial success and braggadocios lyrics of the album both speak to this.
The one thing Meek Mill has done in his career is to consistently release good music. His last three albums have been very successful, and he’s winning new fans daily. In Expensive Pain, Meek Mill employs a more braggadocio commercial style that alienated some old fans who appreciated his underground roots before fame or fortune. Still, the album’s commercial success speaks to what many people find compelling about him.
His entire music career, Meek Mill has built up a reputation for being about his money and status, but he’s elaborating on this subject on this album.
It has officially been one year since Burna Boy released Twice as Tall, his fifth studio LP, which included 15 tracks with the assistance of Youssou N’Dour, Naughty by Nature, Sauti Sol, Chris Martin, and Stormzy.
As soon as it was released, it peaked at the top of other charts around the world, including Billboard’s World Albums chart. Twice as Tall was his breakthrough album and recipient of the Grammy Award for Best Global Music Album.
Burna Boy gained fame over the years thanks to albums like Wizkid’s Made in Lagos and Sia’s Music – Songs from and Inspired by the Motion Picture. Meanwhile, he recently released a new single called Kilometre, which boosts hopes that a new album is on the way. This morning (August 24), Burna Boy reveals “Question,” an elegantly crafted collaboration with internationally recognized recording artist Don Jazzy.
“Question”‘s video was directed by TG Omori and shows Burna Boy triumphantly embracing a lot of children in the video – Don Jazzy also makes an appearance throughout in a funny way. Burna Boy’s enemies also attempt to kill him, but they’re unsuccessful.
