Social media sensation Zoe LaVerne left her fans shocked when she revealed during a live session that both of her parents are siblings. 

However, Zoe quickly clarified that despite the familial connection, she does not consider it incestuous. 

She explained, “So my mom and my dad, because like my dad and my mom Debbie, since they are siblings, it sounds incest but it’s not. It’s really confusing to talk about.” 

As expected, Zoe’s live confession spread like wildfire across various online platforms, with tea pages, such as teatoktalk, sharing the video on their pages. 

The moment viewers caught wind of the video, they wasted no time expressing their opinions, with one fan commenting, “girl, it’s definitely incest.” 

Another exclaimed, “tf she means it’s not incest when they’re literally siblings who had children together.” LaVerne’s revelation seemed to have divided her audience, with some questioning her explanation.

However, amidst the wave of criticism, some fans stepped forward to defend LaVerne and shed more light on the situation.

One supporter highlighted, “Y’all, her mom is her aunt who adopted her. She didn’t explain it very well, but let’s not be weird about this.” 

Another fan chimed in, saying, “Guys, she talked about it a long time ago. Her mother died because of alcohol abuse, as I remember, and her auntie adopted her and took care of her, and Zoe calls her mom.”

The following comment read, “Her “mom” is her aunt that had to take custody of her, not her biological mother. Her wording was very weird and an explanation on her part would’ve been good…”

Zoe LaVerne’s biological parents were drug addicts

Teenage Rapper Lil Purk to Serve 20 Years in Prison for Atlantic Station Double Murder

Teenage Rapper Lil Purk, real name Antonio Jackson, has been jailed for 20 years in prison for a deadly shooting near Atlantic Station in November 2022.

Five of the six defendants, Lil Purk, Demetrius Hill, Toney Wilson, Deandre Forston, and DeRodney Russell, entered negotiated guilty pleas, their sentences ranging from 20 to 40 years. 

The rapper was sentenced to 20 years, with 10 years to be served in custody and 10 years on probation. However, other suspects were sentenced to 40 years in jail.

Hill faced a more severe sentence, having negotiated a guilty plea resulting in 40 years of imprisonment. Of this term, he is slated to spend 30 years in custody.

Wilson received a similar 40-year sentence but with a different distribution—20 years in custody and an equal period on probation.

Forston and Russell, like their co-defendants, entered negotiated guilty pleas and received matching sentences of 40 years. In their cases, 20 years are to be served in custody, followed by an additional 20 years on probation.

Two young boys, 12-year-old Zyion Charles, and 15-year-old Cameron Jackson were left dead, and four other individuals were injured.

Zyion’s mother, Deerica Charles, spoke emotionally before the Atlanta City Council Public Safety Committee, revealing her desperate attempts to divert her son from a dangerous path of criminal behavior.

Despite her pleas to law enforcement, citing her son was involved in car break-ins, a prevalent form of street crime in Atlanta, she received little assistance. 

Deerica said, “I tried, y’all. I called the police office almost 30 times in the last two years, and they told me they can’t do nothing. I said he’s out and breaking into these folks’ cars, can you please get him off the street.”

On the other hand, Cameron’s family remembered him as a teenager with a passion for science, animals, cooking, and dirt bike riding. He had also been practicing boxing since the age of nine. 

Cameron’s mother, Tiffany Smith said, “Cameron has been a boxer since 9-years-old, and he was heading for a professional boxing career. He trained five days a week with a pro boxing coach.”

Additionally, according to 11Alive News, the shootout occurred on the 17th Street Bridge originated from two groups initially escorted off the Atlantic Station property due to unruly behavior and curfew violations.

Atlanta Police later confirmed their belief that the shooting was gang-related. However, Zyion’s family denied his involvement in any gang activity.

Indie Artist Noelle Sucks Claims Olivia Rodrigo’s SNL Performance Is a Ripoff of Her Work

Indie artist Noelle Sucks has voiced serious concerns over potential plagiarism, asserting that Olivia Rodrigo‘s recent Saturday Night Live (SNL) performance has striking similarities to her own previous work.

Sucks took to Instagram to share her perspective, stating, “I am pretty sure my art got stolen and put on Saturday Night Live for Olivia Rodrigo’s most recent SNL performance. I just want to know what you guys think after I show you some facts.”

The base of her argument lies in a side-by-side comparison of her music video called ‘YOUR MOM CALLS ME’ from a few years ago with Rodrigo’s SNL performance, both centered around a “tea party gone wrong” concept that transitions from calm and pretty to angsty.

Sucks meticulously pointed out resemblances, emphasizing identical dance moves, such as cake smashing, sugar pouring, and hand gestures, performed by both herself and Rodrigo and their respective dance crews.

Notably, she also underscored the similarities in camerawork between the two videos, suggesting a potential replication or inspiration.

Furthermore, Sucks realized both she and Rodrigo’s creative director, Tarik Mikou, have a mutual friend who had publicly shared Sucks’ music on social media.

Sucks’ friend commented, “@noellesucks!!! This guy stole the Your Mom Calls Me music video concept from u.”

Additionally, her other friends, suspecting plagiarism, commented on Mikou’s Instagram accusing him of wrongdoing, which was later swiftly deleted.

Upon messaging her concerns on Mikou’s Instagram, Sucks faced no reply. Moreover, Mikou unfollowed their mutual connection and remained unresponsive to Sucks’s direct message on Instagram.

The controversy’s curiosity grew as fans joined the discussion and voiced their dissatisfaction over the alleged plagiarism. A fan remarked, “the unfollowing and limiting of the comments told me everything I needed to know.”

Another fan added, “the unfollowing and limiting of the comments told me everything I needed to know lmao.” “Wowww. I’ve seen other artist I know get ripped off by her team before. So messed up,” another comment read.

Brief bio on Noelle Sucks

Noelle Sucks emerges as a distinctive force in the music scene, defying easy categorization with a unique blend of indie, shoegaze, pop, and rock that creates an emotional soundscape, as per her official website. 

Born into a musically talented family, Noelle’s artistic journey took a pivotal turn after a life-altering brush with death at the age of 13 during a major surgery. 

Raised with deeply spiritual views by her parents, the absence of any heavenly visions during this near-death experience challenged and reshaped her long-held beliefs, prompting a profound transformation in her perspective on life.

The recovery period from her surgery, though sidelining her from traditional schooling, became a catalyst for Sucks’ creativity. During this time, she began conceptualizing music videos for existing songs and discovered her passion for editing homemade videos. 

The newfound interest propelled her towards film school, and eventually, a return to music was sparked by a significant breakup at the age of 23, inspiring her to create her first song. 

Describing her early musical endeavors as a process of “catching up,” the artist filled in the gaps from the years she spent immersed in film and other pursuits.

Her musical career took a significant turn with the release of her ‘Out of Orbit’ EP in 2022. Her ability to traverse difficult emotions through her music was demonstrated in the EP, which delved into the complexities of emotions resulting from a breakup with her friend group. 

Notably, her connections nurtured at Emo Nite, an event central to her personal and artistic growth, have come full circle with her signing to Emo Nite’s new label, Graveboy Records. 

The debut single ‘Ugly Ugly,’ released on September 22, 2023, stands as a significant milestone.
