    13-Year-Old Girl Arrested For Carjacking and Kidnapping 3-Month-Old Boy, Police Say

    A 13-year-old girl was taken into custody after stealing a car with a 3-month-old baby in the backseat, WRBL News reported. 

    Eternity Beamon-Allen of Atlanta, GA was found along with the infant and the stolen silver 2017 Honda Accord at a Days Inn, according to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office. Both the teen and the baby were unharmed and the car was returned to the father, who is the owner of the vehicle. 

    On Monday the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office issued a statewide Amber Alert in to the missing 3-month-old, Malachi Walker. The kidnapping was reported by the father, 26-year-old Kevin Walker who claims to have known the suspect. Walker told officers that he had been doing Instacart with his two sons when he saw the teen with her mother, both friends. Beamon-Allen reportedly asked her mother to accompany Walker to which the mom agreed. 

    Later that day, around noon, Walker said he left Beamon-Allen and his 3-month-old in the car for a few minutes to go into Publix with his 4-year-old son only to return to a missing car and Malachi, and Beamon-Allen gone. Surveillance footage shows the teen getting into the driver’s seat of the Honda Accord and reversing and then pulling out of the lot, leaving the area.

    Beamon-Allen now faces charges of theft and kidnapping.

  • Jermaine Dupri Claps Back At Haters Who Say He’s No Longer Relevant, Say ‘I’ve Had A Hit Record Every Year That You Can Think Of’

    Jermaine Dupri Claps Back At Haters Who Say He’s No Longer Relevant, Say ‘I’ve Had A Hit Record Every Year That You Can Think Of’

    Atlanta’s critically acclaimed producer Jermaine Dupri is calling out critics who say he is no longer relevant. 

    The So So Def producer launched his record label in 1993 and is responsible for a myriad of notable hits like Kriss Kross’s

    “Jump”

    record that was released in 1992 and more recently his record

    “Pressure”

    with Ari Lennox, which serves as Lennox’s highest-charting single to date, according to That Grape Juice. 

    Dupri went on the

    “I Am Athlete”

    podcast and clapped back at the people calling him ‘old news’.

    “I’ve had a hit record every year that you can think of, you just don’t even really realize it,”

    The Grammy Award-winning producer proclaimed. 

    “2020 was Usher and Ella Mai,”

    Dupri added.

    “If you from the rap world and you listening to only trap music, then you gon’ be like, ‘JD ain’t made no music.’ Cause you ain’t listening to R&B music. You don’t know. Matter fact, I left something out. I put out Anthony Hamilton’s album last year,”

    he continued.

    “So I’m saying, if you not really into what’s going on, you might have missed it. So you can say what you want to say, but that’s a reckless statement for you to put it out there unless you know what’s happening.”

    Jermaine Dupri has gone on to record records with Summer Walker, dvsn, Tory Lanez, Snoop Dogg, A Boogie wit a Hoodie, Anthony Hamilton, and the list goes on. In a recent interview with Forbes, the 50-year-old expressed his gratitude for the success and legacy he has created within his label and in the industry.

    “I brought youth into hip-hop and I’m the one who inserted the idea of kids rapping and I did it at the highest level,”

    he said.

    “People never took So So Def seriously because, at the time when we came in, it was an adult sport,”

    Dupri added.

    “There were no other kids in the business, so everything we see now on YouTube and SoundCloud with kids in their houses, making records, and becoming stars were nonexistent.”
