When @IamYungJoc’s Dogs Attack! [Updated]

Published by Gyant on Thursday, August 19, 2010 at 9:36 am.

The homie Yung Joc is in some hot water today.

It seems two of Joc’s pit bulls attacked a local ATL resident’s dog. The news broke late yesterday evening. But, good news for the dog. He’s expected to pull through just fine.

Per 11 Alive:

Robinson says he has always taken the proper precaution to make sure his dogs are safely contained, but they managed to escape after their electric collars and a gate at his home malfunctioned.

The neighbor’s dog is expected to be okay.

Robinson says he will pay for the dog’s medical expenses. He was cited for the incident.

That was a close one Joc. This could easily have been a national media story. We are a country that loves our canines. But on second thought, national attention could be the springboard needed for Joc to announce his new deal with RCA.

You head about that, right? If not read all about it here.

Let the pits go Joc! They say there’s no such thing as bad press. Let’s find out.

Update: Yung Joc isn’t happy with this blog.

Until Next Time…

Last night 790 The Zone AM’s Two Live Stews celebrated an event honoring the outrageous duo’s new foundation.

The Stewart Education Foundation was established by 790 The Zone AM & ESPN sports personalities Doug & Ryan Stewart (The 2 Live Stews) to encourage active involvement of African-American men in classrooms across America by providing financial assistance, raising public awareness, and partnering with colleges, universities and local mentoring organizations.

Crown Royal was eager to lend its support to the launch party for the foundation, as a commitment to the Atlanta community and to add to Crown Royal’s partnership with The 2 Live Stews.

I hear celebrities who attended the 2 Live Stews’ Purple & Gold Affair included: Platinum recording artists Yung Joc, Slim (formerly of 112) and Princess, actress Terri J. Vaughn and actor Gary Owen of Tyler Perry’s Meet The Browns, actress Demetria McKinney of Tyler Perry’s House of Payne and Executive Producer Roger Bobb, Princess Banton-Lofters of Loft 22 Entertainment and creator of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, media personalities Rashan Ali of V-103 FM and Ebony Steele of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show, Jason Ellis of FOX’s Hell’s Kitchen, WNBA players Yelena Leuchanka and Rushia Brown, PGA golfer Stephen Reed and many others.

I couldn’t attend this event because..um..let’s just say there were conflicts of interest everywhere. But luckily enough for me Monica over at M320 Consulting sent me a full recap I can extend to the Gyant on BET Blog some looks from the event.

Why the hell is Yung Joc getting towered over by EVERYBODY in this pic. He could of at least had them zoom in and he step on tip toes to seem at least eye level with Demetria.

Special Shoutout to Glue Inc, and M320 Consulting.

Until Next Time…

Magnum Live Large Project Honor’s @Ludajuice @LTLline, @Bmc_1201 & More!

Published by Gyant on Sunday, June 20, 2010 at 8:49 am.

The Garner Circle & Trojan condoms Magnum division teamed up for an amazing event held at the fantastic Ventanas on Baker street. You already know Gyant was in the building, but the homie Kodak at Kiddunot.com’s wrap up sums it all up.

Per KidduNot.com:

Ludacris may proclaim having girls in different area codes, but the Atlanta rapper isn’t one to go unprotected!  Trojan Magnum condoms, who Luda recently joined forces with, recognized him for its Magnum Live Large Project Friday night, June 18, 2010 in Atlanta.

The lady of the hour, rapper Trina, had the honor of presenting Ludacris with his prestigious award. The campaign also spotlighted other Atlanta natives, Bryan Michael-Cox and Jermaine Dupree. Lance Gross, Kid Capri, Hill Harper, and Yung Joc were other notable attendees in the building at last night’s event.

Hill Harper, who’s in town filming For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf, alongside Trina & the homie Ludacris.

Lance Gross looking rather dapper. Clearly his sudden break up to Eva has only helped –not hurt– his image. And you know I get my photo opps when I can! [Props to DK Menswear for the clothing look for Gyant]

Shoutout to the AC’s [Assorted Chocolates] and friends!

Checkout some exclusive video the Gyant interns snatched up. Respect to Day 26, and actor Lance Gross.

Until Next Time..
