According to the American law enforcement source, one of Lil Wayne’s bodyguard has reported that he got into a fight with Lil Wayne during a dispute at Lil Wayne’s Hidden Hills, CA home of which the noisy quarrel between the rapper and himself escalated to physical violence and a brandished firearm.

The American Police has also reported that they were told the guard claims Lil Wayne told him to get outta the house after the initial dispute, but the guard went to the bathroom first and he claims that’s when Wayne dramatically escalated things.

They added that, they have spoken with a source close to Wayne who strongly denies the incident even happened and also told them Lil Wayne doesn’t even have a gun.

According to TMZ, a  top local US tabloid journalism online newspaper, the information reported by the American police is not what Lil Wayne’s bodyguard told the police.Their sources say the guard claimed Lil Wayne pulled out an AR-15, and that’s when the guard booked it out of the house to the gated community’s guard shack, where he called police.

They added that, they were told the police went to Lil Wayne’s place to get his side of the story, but he was already gone. The guard told the police that the fight started with Lil Wayne accusing him of taking photos and leaking them to the media.

Furthermore, TMZ has reported that other law enforcement sources involved in the case told them the police have issues with the guard’s story, and they say he did not have any marks on his body or injuries from the alleged physical confrontation.

And also they were told the guard does not want to press charges against Wayne, the police also have doubts about some of the allegations, they will nevertheless investigate, they have reached out to Lil Wayne’s camp … so far, no word back.

Jaden Smith finally launches sustainable luggage line, which was five years in the making

Published

Jaden Smith has launched his latest, long-awaited venture – a range of high-end suitcases made from post-consumer plastic waste. Called the Harper Collective, it aims to help usher in a new era of sustainable travel.

Five years in the making, Harper Collective is the brainchild of Smith – an actor, musician, environmental activist and son of actor Will Smith – and ex-merchandise director of Selfridges Sebastian Manes.

Together, the pair set out to create a line of lightweight, durable cases from reclaimed plastic waste, which not only tackles the issue of plastic, but is good-looking enough to appeal to a discerning clientele.

The pair admit that there were “numerous mistakes along the way”, but they have now revealed pieces that are stylish with a utilitarian design. They are offered in four sizes – cabin, medium, large and trunk – in black and dark green, with black or silver hardware.

Working in conjunction with a German plastic specialist company Epsotech, each suitcase is moulded from strong, lightweight Sea Plastic polymer HDPE, which uses 70 per cent post-consumer waste, while the remaining third is virgin plastic.

This marks the first time this new formula of plastic has been used for suitcases, and Manes said that every step had to be tested and double-checked.

“We started with 98 per cent recycled plastic, but found we could not effectively mould it into an effective end-product,” says Manes. “Developing the product has taken five years.”

The use of virgin plastic seems to fly in the face of what the company is setting out to do – which is to reduce the use of new plastic, and instead rework some of the estimated 6.3 billion metric tonnes that litter the planet. However, Smith and Manes are quick to acknowledge that this is still a work in progress.

“We understand that perfection is not always attainable in manufacturing,” they say. “But we believe in continuous improvement and innovation to produce better and more sustainable products for our customers.”

Despite the use of virgin plastic, Manes says the final product still sits within the company’s main objectives. “This material mix supports Harper

Collective’s promise that all materials are recyclable at the end of the luggage’s lifetime,” he adds.

This is far from Smith’s first foray into socially conscious business. At age 12, after witnessing plastic waste in the sea, he launched the social enterprise Just, using only replenishable rainwater bottled in packaging made from 88 per cent plant materials. He also worked with New Balance to create the Jaden 574 trainer, made using surplus materials, and also co-founded MSFTS, a sustainable streetwear brand.

He opened the I Love You food truck, selling only vegan food with the premise that anyone homeless could eat for free, while others not only had to pay, but would be charged over the odds “to pay for the person behind you,” he explained to Variety. In 2021 he also enlisted his famous family to launch Hey Humans, a vegan beauty line.
