T-Pain has officially been honored by his hometown of Tallahassee by renaming a street in his name. 

On Sunday, Nov. 10, Mayor John Dailey presented the Grammy-winning artist with a key to the city to recognize his remarkable music contributions and lasting impact on the community. During a ceremony at the Walker Ford Community Center, city officials unveiled “T-Pain Lane,” replacing Pasco Street, a location close to Florida A&M University.  

The street renaming proposal, introduced in August and approved in September, is a tribute to T-Pain’s legacy and his dedication to the city.

The Oscar-winning filmmaker, Steve McQueen says he is now fully recovered, two years after having a cancerous tumor removed from his prostate.

The director, whose father died of prostate cancer in 2006, stayed vigilant about his health and regularly underwent MRI scans due to a potential hereditary risk. 

While preparing for Blitz, doctors discovered the tumor early, prompting McQueen to delay the shoot by two weeks for the procedure. He kept the news private, informing only his close family, and returned to work without revealing the reason for his absence.

For years, Vamarr Hunter regularly visited “Give Me Some Sugah,” a cozy bakery in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood, never suspecting that the woman behind the counter was his birth mother, Lenore Lindsey.

Lindsey, who had placed Hunter for adoption as a teenager, was overjoyed to reconnect with him just as she was facing severe health issues.
