When art imitates life, a level of truth and understanding can be unlocked. Possibly with the help of a therapist session, Freddie Gibbs was able to tap back into his dark days in Austrian prison in his new music video for “Andrea.”

The Eric Nelson-directed video opens with a fitting scene of Freddie cruising in California in a red Mustang to match the jazz lounge production from Pops, SLWJMZ and Crooklin. At around the one minute mark, you’ll notice a brushfire that starts and spreads as Gibbs continues to drive. As it engulfs the mountainside, the camera quickly cuts to Gibbs laying down in a jail cell. The unexpected change in scenery reflects how Gibbs felt when he went from touring across seas to a small room behind bars. Before the rough jump back to incarceration, there are glimpses of a woman walking away from Gibbs that might symbolize the loss of his freedom.

While in jail, the beat and lyrics slow down similar to how time must have felt like it was slowing down for Freddie in jail. It shows him going through the daily motions of laying in bed and getting his one phone call a day. His isolation and lack of any other character appearing on screen drives home the point that Freddie must have felt totally alone in a jail in another country. The scenes of him thinking in his bed must align with his line that explains the name of the song: “Time to go get me some yayo, I know that Andrea gon’ lease that car for me.”

“Andrea” comes off of Freddie’s last project You Only Live 2wice.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file
