Teen Takes ‘Chilling’ Snapchat Right After Allegedly Killing Cheerleader

A 14-year-old boy in Florida made a Snapchat post about the 13-year-old girl he is accused of killing. 

The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office announced in a public statement that Aiden Fucci was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. Fucci is accused of fatally stabbing Tristyn Bailey, a seventh-grade cheerleader who reportedly went to the same school and grew up in the same neighborhood as him. Bailey’s cause of death, the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office announced in a Tuesday afternoon statement, was “sharp force trauma by stabbing.” 

After Fucci was arrested, he took a selfie for Snapchat, captioning it: “Hey guys has inybody seen Tristyn lately.” In the photo, the unhandcuffed teen can be seen in a reflection holding up the peace sign while sitting in the back of a patrol car. 

Bailey was reportedly last seen early morning Sunday at a community center, local outlet WJXT reported. Her family reported her missing hours later, at around 10am local time. A neighbor found Bailey’s body that evening following a community-wide effort to search the area around the center for her. 

Fucci reportedly posted the Snapchat later that night. While the investigation is reportedly in its “beginning stages,” according to the New York Post, the Snapchat is just one of the social media posts being looked into by authorities, according to Click Orlando. 

After a press conference, a spokesperson for the St. Johns County Sheriff reportedly said that “all social media is being looked at and is part of the investigation.”

Fucci is being held at a Department of Juvenile Justice facility and was ordered by a judge at a court appearance on Tuesday morning to remain detained for 21 days or until the next court order, Click Orlando reported. 

The Daily Dot has reached out to the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office.

A List Of The Best Spoonerisms On Every NBA Team

Getty Image

Hello, friends. We are in the final stretch of the NBA season, with more teams jockeying for positioning in the run-in to the postseason than there are fighting to make the playoffs in the first place. There are plenty of captivating on-court things right now, and we hope you continue to be compelled by all of them, but we here at Dime are very passionate about something and want to give it its proper due: Spoonerisms.

The NBA, by nature of being a thing that has a lot of names in it, is the breeding ground for many great spoonerisms, which is what happens when you take a name and flip the first letters in each of them. An example that does not appear in this post, as it is limited to current players, is how Larry Bird would be “Barry Lird,” which sounds like a person who would own a used car dealership in the upper midwest.

Anyway, we decided to go through NBA rosters and list out the best spoonerisms that we could find. We took creative liberties with a few of these — i.e. taking the first two letters of Spencer Dinwiddie’s first name and swapping them with only the first letter of his last name — and we marked the best of the best (10 in all) with italics. This entire exercise is very stupid. We hope you enjoy.

Who Is Chris Rock Dating Now? He Had a Serious Breakup in 2020

After a rough patch in his dating life, Chris Rock may have found some stability (as far as he wants us to know). The comedian and star of Everybody Hates Chris was previously married, but that came to an end in 2020.

Chris Rock was reportedly dating actress Carmen Ejogo as recently as 2020.

Sadly, Chris has decided to not elaborate on his dating life (for the most part). All we’re left with are rumors and sparse photos. However, he was most recently linked to actress Carmen Ejogo, with sightings of the couple reported in 2020. 

The 46-year-old English performer has quite an impressive list of projects that she has taken part in, and the two were seen on a few dates that almost confirmed that a romance was brewing.

According to People, the duo went out on separate occasions for lunch and dinner outings in New York City, and they were even reportedly seen holding hands. Unfortunately, neither Chris nor Carmen confirmed that anything was happening between them, and even into 2021 the notion that they’re dating has never been fully proven.

Chris had some pretty serious relationships before being linked to Carmen.

Being (allegedly) together with Carmen is definitely not Chris’s first foray into love. In actuality, he was involved in two pretty serious relationships one right after another. 

Article continues below advertisement

Chris was married to Malaak Compton-Rock for 18 years, and the duo actually has two children together. However, things got rocky and the pair ended up calling it quits, finalizing their divorce in 2016. It was shortly after that when Chris encountered Megalyn Echikunwoke for the first time and they began their romance.

The actress and the Fargo star dated for about four years but it appears as though Chris’s hesitancy to get into anything too serious only a few years removed from his almost two-decade-long relationship held them up. Now, he may be looking to be a bit more casual with his romantic side, and if he and Carmen are still together, it’s likely exactly how they’re keeping things for the time being.

Carmen isn’t unfamiliar with the concept of marriage either, having been together with someone else in the past as well. She and actor Jeffrey Wright were married from 2000 to 2014, and the former couple share two children. Prior to that, she was married to actor and rapper Tricky back in 1998. 

Regardless of their past partners, it’s clear enough that Chris and Carmen have found enough common ground between themselves to keep something fun and casual going, and we wish them luck.

Lil Uzi Vert ‘Dumbed Down’ ‘Eternal Atake’ For Sales, But Really Wanted It To Be ‘Cultlike’

Getty Image

It’s no accident that Lil Uzi Vert is one of the most popular figures within hip-hop. In fact, he admits some of the calculated choices he made to attain that status in a new interview in W Magazine. Commenting on the commercial success of his most recent album Eternal Atake, which debuted at No. 1 two weeks in a row thanks to its split release and is still charting a year later, he says that he considers the album “dumbed down” as a direct appeal to a broader audience.

“All of my music for Eternal Atake got leaked, so I had to redo it,” he recalls. “It didn’t reach its full potential—I just knew it wasn’t the sound I was going for. Let’s just say Eternal Atake, for another artist, would have been really good because it was super dumbed down to where everyone could enjoy it, but that’s not my artistry. I want my new music to be more intimate to my real fans. I wanted it to be almost cultlike.”

Uzi attributes his artistic compromises to playing the comparison game. “I was listening to all the industry guys and their formats—it was confusing me because these guys are getting No. 1’s,” he allows. But I realized the music ain’t even living; their No. 1’s are real quick. I had to realize this is their beginning; they’re younger than me, so they have room to do that. I don’t have room to do that. I used to always look at all the young guys and be like, ‘Oh, shout out this guy.’ I ain’t shouting out nobody no more.” With a new album on the way, he’ll have a chance to make up for his perceived missteps.

Lil Uzi Vert is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Snoop Dogg Discusses What He Learned After Being a Mentor on ‘The Voice’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Though he’s turning the big 5-0 in October 2021, Snoop Dogg is not about to slow down his hustle anytime soon. 

The legendary rapper opened up exclusively to Distractify about his latest partnership with BIC EZ Reach Lighter and his bestie, Martha Stewart.

“One thing you may not know about me is I love creating ambiance, so having a lighter that’s easy to use, reliable, and convenient makes setting the mood effortless, you know, with all the candles,” he said. 

When he wasn’t lighting up with the new BIC EZ Reach lighter, Snoop served as a Mega Mentor on Season 20 of The Voice, filmed a new Netflix movie, and dropped a new album. Keep reading to find out more about Snoop’s latest projects.

Snoop Dogg talks about what he learned after being a mentor on Season 20 of ‘The Voice.’

In Season 20 of the hit singing competition series The Voice, Snoop served as a Mega Mentor alongside coaches Blake Shelton, John Legend, Nick Jonas, and Kelly Clarkson. 

“These young artists have an opportunity that not many others get,” the “Gin and Juice” rapper exclusively told Distractify. “It’s great to see them take advantage of this whole concept. Not only am I a mentor, but I do learn a lot from doing this. You learn to appreciate every day once you get to my level.”

Since launching his career, Snoop has not only excelled in music but has become a successful business entrepreneur. However, the rapper always remembers his roots. 

He told us that when he was younger, Snoop had a lot of mentors in “music, football, and everything else” who were “from all walks of life.” “The best advice I took from them all was to never forget your roots,” he added. “Your family and where you are from is what truly matters.”

Sound advice, Doggfather!

So, after serving as the celebrity Mega Mentor on Season 20 of The Voice, would Snoop consider taking up the mantle as a coach on the singing competition series? “Hell yeah, let’s do it,” the 49-year-old told us.

Snoop Dogg talks new Netflix film ‘Day Shift’ with Jamie Foxx.

Aside from serving as a mentor on The Voice, Snoop is also gearing up to appear in the new Netflix film Day Shift, alongside his friend Jamie Foxx. 

The upcoming comedy follows a blue-collar dad (Jamie Foxx), who wants to provide for his 8-year-old daughter. But cleaning pools in the San Fernando Valley is just a front for his real source of income: hunting and killing vampires.

Snoop told us he can’t say too much about the Netflix project yet, but teased: “We have been putting in a lot of work into this. It’s going to be amazing.” He added, “I can’t say too much yet, but just know that I’m a pretty fly cowboy.”

As for other projects Snoop has in the works, he told Distractify that fans should be on the lookout for his retail store, which will be opening in Inglewood. The rapper also recently dropped a new album, From Tha Streets 2 Tha Suites, on April 20, 2021. 

Basically, the D-O-Double-G is still on his grind (and has money on his mind)…

What Teams Can Clinch Playoff Spots And Seeds On Tuesday Night In The NBA

Getty Image

With less than a week to go in the 2020-21 NBA season, there is still plenty of drama when it comes to playoff seeding and the new play-in tournament. With a number of tight races for seeding, each game means a lot and each night there will be teams with a chance to punch their ticket to the postseason.

Only seven teams have clinched playoff spots (a top-6 seed) so far, with Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and Milwaukee in the East and Utah, Phoenix, Los Angeles (Clippers), and Denver in the West. On Tuesday, there are four teams that can clinch playoff spots (and one that can be eliminated from the playoffs) depending on the various outcomes of Tuesday’s NBA action. In the East, the top 6 seeds could all be locked in on Tuesday, with the only drama being seeding within that range. In the West, a fifth team can lock themselves in with a win and some help.

Atlanta Hawks: Clinch a playoff spot with a Celtics LOSS and a Knicks WIN.

Miami Heat: Clinch a playoff spot with a WIN over Boston.

New York Knicks: Clinch a playoff spot with a WIN over the Lakers and a Celtics LOSS.

Dallas Mavericks: Clinch a playoff spot with a WIN over the Grizzlies and a Lakers LOSS.

Basically, if the Heat and Knicks win, the East playoff picture is known and the Celtics get locked into the play-in, add in a Dallas win to that formula and you have 11 of the 12 playoff positions taken, with seeding to be determined and the 6-seed in the West still a battle between Portland and the Lakers.

Other things that can be finalized on Tuesday include:

Philadelphia 76ers: Clinch the 1-seed in the East with a WIN over Indiana OR losses by both Brooklyn and Milwaukee.

Sacramento Kings: Eliminated from the play-in with a LOSS to the Thunder.

Beyond those battles, there are other very important games happening for seeding battles, starting with the East.

  • Nets loss to Chicago and a Bucks win over Orlando would bring Milwaukee into the 2-seed by virtue of their tiebreaker with Brooklyn.
  • Knicks loss would put them in a tie with the Hawks for the 4-seed, which they would still hold onto with their own tiebreaker.
  • Knicks loss and a Miami win would create a three-way tie for 4th, with Atlanta taking the 4-seed in such a scenario by way of being the division leader (thanks to a head-to-head tiebreaker with the Heat).
  • Knicks win and a Miami win would keep New York a full game ahead for the 4 and move Atlanta and Miami into a tie for 5th, with Atlanta holding the tiebreaker.
  • Hornets loss and a Pacers win would move those two into a tie for 8th, with Charlotte holding the tiebreaker.
  • Indiana loss would move them back into a tie with Washington for 9th, with the Wizards owning the tiebreaker.

In the West,

  • Clippers loss and a Nuggets win would bring them into a tie for the 3-seed, with Denver owning the tiebreaker.
  • Dallas loss would move them into a tie with Portland for the 5-seed, with the Blazers owning the tiebreaker.
  • Warriors loss and a Grizzlies win would move Memphis back in front of the Warriors by a half game for the 8-seed

‘Resident Evil Village’ Is On Track To Be The Best-Selling Game In The Series

It’s been less than a week since Resident Evil Village hit shelves and already it’s looking like it could be one of the year’s best-selling titles as well as the best-selling Resident Evil game. In a press release published by Capcom earlier today, the developer revealed over 3 million units of the game were sold in the first four days of release. These impressive numbers make it the fastest-selling Resident Evil title since 2012’s Resident Evil 6 — which sold over 4.5 million copies in just two days — and push the series past 100 million units sold.

While it might seem a stretch to claim Village is on track to be the best-selling game in the series when confronted with Resident Evil 6‘s staggering initial sales, it’s important to note that Resident Evil 6‘s poor reviews led to a decrease in purchases, and ultimately the game capped with a, albeit still impressive, 7.7 million copies sold. According to Capcom’s sales records, this puts Resident Evil 6 behind Resident Evil 5 (7.8 million units sold), Resident Evil 2 remake (7.8 million units sold), and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (8.5 million units sold).

With Resident Evil Village’s positive reviews and internet sensation Lady Dimitrescu making quite compelling cases to pick up the game, we’re sure we’ll see even more sales in the coming weeks. And hey, if you’re still on the fence or worried you might not understand what’s happening in the newest Resident Evil title, here’s a helpful guide on what you need to know before you get playing.

Resident Evil Village is available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, Google Stadia, and PC.
