AJ Johnson Reveals Why Some Folks Haze Others During Initiation Process

AJ Johnson revealed during her induction into a Divine Nine sorority involved hazing.

Actress AJ Johnson said she experienced hazing while pledging Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. The Spelman College alumna discussed her experience during an interview with the nationally syndicated radio show The Breakfast Club.

The Baby Boy actress criticized hazing culture at historically Black fraternities and sororities, often referred to as the Divine Nine.

During the conversation, co-host DJ Envy raised the topic of hazing.

“I’m so glad you brought this up,” Johnson said.

Johnson emphasized that hazing is not endorsed by Delta Sigma Theta or any Divine Nine organization but noted that such actions often stem from individuals who were hazed.

“It’s a personal thing,” she explained. She goes on to suggest the act is often performed by former victims who may have a “vendetta.”

The actress also called the tradition of outdated, physically and mentally taxing initiation rituals outdated and no longer appropriate. Reflecting on her time as “Dean of Pledges” in the early 1990s, Johnson said she fostered discipline and bonding without inflicting harm.

“I had them exercising. You don’t know your founders? OK, run a mile,” Johnson said. “There are different forms of teaching and being authoritative. It doesn’t have to be physical abuse.”

Fatal Hazing

The renewed focus on hazing comes after Caleb Wilson, a 20-year-old pledge of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., died following a hazing ritual on Feb. 27.

The tragedy is raising serious questions about the secretive initiation processes at some Black Greek-letter organizations.

Witnesses said Wilson and other pledges were lined up and punched while wearing boxing gloves as they stood in formation. After each hit, pledges were instructed to run to the end of the line. Wilson reportedly collapsed shortly after enduring the assault and began seizing.

Reports revealed that members of Omega Psi Phi covered up the circumstances of Wilson’s death. According to investigators, fraternity members failed to call 911 immediately but changed Wilson’s clothes and drove him to Baton Rouge Medical Center. They also falsely claimed that Wilson collapsed while playing basketball at a park miles away from where the hazing took place.

Caleb McCray, Kyle Thurman, and Isaiah Smith have been charged with manslaughter and hazing in connection with the crime.

Tony Buzbee Steps Back From Diddy Lawsuit After Court Reveals He’s Not Allowed To Practice

Tony Buzbee has to back off from one lawsuit against Diddy since he isn’t authorized to practice in that district.

Tony Buzbee has withdrawn from one of his multiple sexual assault lawsuits against Sean “Diddy” Combs, as the Houston-based attorney is not authorized to practice in the Southern District of New York.

A March 17 notice revealed Buzbee’s withdrawal after a judge pointed out that he is not authorized to practice in New York’s Southern District, Chron reported. His client will continue to be represented by the remaining attorneys from Curis Law, with Buzbee officially signing off on the filing.

“A grievance was filed by Shawn Carter against me alleging I was practicing law in the Southern District of New York without formal admission,” Buzbee said in a statement.

“Until that’s sorted out, I’m going to let my colleagues who are formally admitted push those cases while I continue to march on the New York State cases,” Buzbee told Chron. “We also will be filling cases in Nevada and California very soon.”

Buzbee has since moved to withdraw his appearance “until such time as he is admitted to practice” in the district, the notice states. Buzbee withdrew from the lawsuit after U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams ordered him to submit a letter explaining why he had failed to inform the court of his ineligibility to practice in the Southern District of New York.

In the order, Abrams noted that Buzbee had not addressed his admission status in a parallel case. Despite withdrawing, the judge could deny Buzbee’s motion and require him to explain why he did not disclose this information earlier.

The notice comes after Buzbee’s unsuccessful attempt to sue Combs and Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter on behalf of Jane Doe, who alleged the rappers raped her when she was 13. The lawsuit, one of many formal allegations against Combs, was voluntarily dismissed in February at the accuser’s request.

A recently released recording includes a conversation where Jane Doe admitted to lying about Jay-Z’s involvement and accused Buzbee of encouraging her to go after the hip-hop mogul. The notice appears to be the latest development in Jay-Z’s response to Buzbee involving him in Diddy’s scandalous legal troubles.

Gocha Hawkins Serves The Flavor Of Brunch In New Cookbook And Breakfast Bar Expansion

Gocha Hawkins Serves The Flavor Of Brunch In New Cookbook And Breakfast Bar Expansion

Hawkins allows fans of her Southern brunch to recreate the magic at home.

Gocha Hawkins continues delighting foodies in Atlanta and beyond with her new cookbook centered on classic brunch favorites.

Gocha Hawkins has already made a name for herself in the Atlanta food scene. The former hairstylist has become a seasoned restauranteur with two hotspots, Gocha’s Tapas and Breakfast Bar, in her name. Now, she is offering up her own recipes in a new cookbook, Cooking with Gocha, to recreate her signature dishes in one’s own kitchen.

A post shared by Gocha Hawkins (@gochahawkins)

The cookbook features 90 recipes that can make anyone’s morning, from savory shrimp and grits to a vegan, yet flavorful, cauliflower steak entree. Hawkins, a self-proclaimed “pancake connoisseur,” knows her way around any kitchen, proved by her always-packed restaurants that have captivated Atlantans.

Hawkins got her start after moving to Atlanta’s southwest side in 2014. She noticed how limited the food options were in this area, and decided to take the chance to flex her own chef skills. Hawkins spoke to BLACK ENTERPRISE about how this transition helped her capitalize on her passions while also uplifting this underserved community.

“I moved to the Southwest side of town in 2014 and I was like wow, this community is at a disadvantage,” she shared to BE’s Director of Digital Content Ida Harris.

“There’s nothing over here but chain restaurants. I [thought] it would be a perfect opportunity to open up a breakfast restaurant because that’s what was missing in my area.”

According to Hawkins, this bet on herself led to a food empire beyond her wildest dreams. After starting her first restaurant in 2018, her ability to adapt to her customers’ needs, such as opening a food truck during the pandemic, has led her to steady and rising success despite an unpredictable food industry.

With lines out the door, she expanded her Cascade location of the Breakfast Bar to double its capacity, taking over the neighboring space that had shut down its business. While surrounding businesses came and went, Hawkins stood by her decision to keep her flagship location in the heart of its neighborhood.

“I think that’s something that a lot of Black neighborhoods are affected by, but you chose to stick around. I feel like it’s extremely important to invest in the community,” explained Hawkins.

“That is the number one thing that stimulates the brand is investing in community, you know, like providing jobs and just growing our community in general. I feel like without giving back to the community in that way we’re we’re just another big chain restaurant, you know? I feel like the small businesses have so many opportunities to capitalize on stimulating a community.”

What makes Hawkins’ dishes so unique is that there was no distinct recipe behind them. While she has since curated direction for her food, what drove the innate chef is her own personal taste and desire for meals that simply tasted good. However, she still emphasizes the importance of nutrition in her menu development.

“The way that I eat and the way that I cook at home is what I wanted to bring to the restaurant because I knew that it would be a good fit for everyone. [Everyone] wants to be much healthier now, they’re moving to that direction and I want to make recipes that are easy, flavorful, and convenient.”

Taking over a year and a half to curate her recipes, fans of Gocha’s southern brunch can make cooking a convenient pasttime. She is also offering insight into her retail line, letting readers recreate her hot sauce and pancakes to reimagine the breakfast bar at home.

Hawkins does not want to add anything to the community that is not serving it, whether on her menu or her business portfolio. From food giveaways to coat drives, Hawkins pours back into those that dine with her.

The entrepreneur also wants her employees to thrive, offering grants for workers attending college. As for what she plans to serve next, Gocha’s will expand into a shared kitchen to help chefs that cannot afford a brick-and-mortar space. Launching in Atlantic station under her Gocha’s Restaurant Group brand, the opportunity to help other emerging cooks get a leg up remains part of Hawkin’s vision.

“My advice to any entrepreneur would be to study whatever it is that you’re trying to do and get the knowledge,” she concluded.

“Invest in yourself and you’re gonna get some nos, no doubt. So when you get those no’s, don’t give up. Continue to invest in yourself and just keep going.”

Pre-orders for Cooking with Gocha: Easy, Flavorful Recipes for Breakfast & Brunch Lovers are available now.

2 Chainz Slams Employee Stealing From His Business ‘No Good Deed Goes Unpunished’

2 Chainz discusses someone stealing TVs and sofas from his business

Atlanta recording artist 2 Chainz recently took to social media to speak about being wronged by someone who worked for him, stating that the former employee stole “all the stuff out of there, the TVs, the sofas.”

The video clip, posted on his Instagram account, shows the rapper walking along the path where the store was originally located. He captioned the video, “No good deed goes unpunished 🤷🏿‍♂️ I’m not even mad; I know it’s hard out here … it’s the principle.”

He explained that the incident took place some time ago, but he didn’t specify when. He said it was in his heart at the moment he filmed the clip. Seemingly, he is speaking about Pamper Nail Studio, since that’s what’s labeled as the location on the post.

As he is speaking in the video, he started by showing where the place was and stated that the business had mostly women working there.

“My businesses, they help women,” he said in the clip as he was walking through a street in Atlanta where his businesses were located. He mentioned his restaurant, Esco.

“Esco, it’s mostly women that work there, the nail shop is all women. Obviously, Candyland. You know, for a girl that was working in there for me, with me…to go back in there and steal all the stuff out of there, the TVs, the sofas.”

He lamented that he “won’t be able to get” the things back. But, he felt the need to express what was going through his mind as he passed by the same place he was referring to.

He stated that as he was walking by, his friend, Halo, asked him why the place was empty, and he stated, “The girl went back in there and stole everything out of there. And I ain’t gon’ press charges. I ain’t gon’ do nothing. But I just want you to see this and feel this.”

The next slide repeated the caption, but with an explanation stating the meaning of the term, “No good deed goes unpunished.”

Bronzeville Children’s Museum Founder Peggy Montes Continues To Empower Women, Children At 88 Years Old

Montes' Bronzeville Children's Museum takes children through tours of exhibits featuring women pioneers like Madam C.J. Walker.

At 88, Peggy Montes, who helped institutionalize Women’s History Month in Chicago, continues her commitment to empowering women and educating children through her Bronzeville Children’s Museum.

Even though she has already greatly contributed to Chicago’s culture and political history, the Bronzeville native says she’s still very busy these days. According to The Chicago Sun-Times, Montes had no idea her museum would be the country’s only African American children’s museum in 2025. “My goal was never to be the only one but only to be serving as a guide … so that children in other cities could learn about their history and culture at an early age,” the Bronzeville pioneer said.

The museum is an extension of Montes’ advocacy for women and children, but she says her days with the museum will not remain forever. Inspired by the African Americans who settled in Bronzeville during the Great Migration, Montes opened the children’s museum in Evergreen Park in 1998. In 2007, her space to teach children ages four to nine about African American history opened at 9301 S. Stony Island Avenue in Calumet Heights.

These days, Montes holds several positions, including chairwoman emerita at DuSable Museum, a member of the Black Creativity Program at the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry, and co-founder of the Leadership Advisory Council at the Art Institute of Chicago. The activist draws on her intelligence, wisdom, beauty, and will to do what is right, characteristics that have attracted social and political leaders to seek her help.

In addition to her philanthropy, the widow is a mother of two and grandmother of three. Her love for teaching dates back to her post undergrad days as a student at Chicago State University, formerly Chicago Teachers College: “I loved teaching because it was a way of helping children expand their environment,” she said. Montes served as an educator for years before she launched a career in counseling and eventually transitioned into politics.

The early 1980s was a milestone era for the Bronzeville native who helped Harold Washington make history as Chicago’s first Black mayor. “I was able to galvanize the women of the city of Chicago to come behind us to make certain that we elected Harold Washington,” said Montes. “I said, ‘When I get you elected — when our women get you elected — we want the first Chicago Commission on Women to be established.’” The educator’s request came to fruition in 1984. During her three decades with The Mayor’s Advisory Commission on Women’s Affairs, she dedicated her career to getting more women appointed in government. Montes contributed to increased female representation from 12% to 39% in the commission’s early years and the establishment of Chicago’s Women’s History Month in March 1986.

Montes continues to celebrate the women she knows are behind the people in the highest positions. Her commitment is to amplify women’s work as mothers, wives, and community leaders.

Southern Black Girls and Women’s Consortium has launched a new “Resistance and Resilience” grant through its Black Girls Defense Fund.

The $2,000 mini-grants support Black girls, women, or femme-identifying youth in the South. The funding is an extension of Southern Black Girls’ commitment to support organizations that advocate and build movements to protect the fundamental rights of Black girls and women in the South.

Southern Black Girls reported that it has already awarded over $10 million to 221 Black women-led organizations and more than 800 girls in the South. In 2022, the organization partnered with rapper Meghan Thee Stallion’s Pete and Thomas Foundation to launch its “Joy is our Journey Dream Tour.” The monthlong bus excursion curated a space for Black girls to connect and create, as previously stated by BLACK ENTERPRISE. The organization launched in 2017 in an effort to change statistics that found Black girls in the South were receiving less than 1% of the $4.8 billion in philanthropic investments. Black Voters Matter co-founder LaTosha Brown set out with three other Black women philanthropists to fund the dreams of Black girls across 13 southern states: Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.

Applications for the Black Girls Defense Fund’s Resistance & Resilience mini-grants open on March 20 on the Southern Black Girls website. Interested applicants have until April 10 to submit for funding. A March 27 informational will be held via Zoom at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. The meeting will cover the application process, equip applicants with essential tools, and provide an open floor for any questions. Registration for the meeting can be completed in advance.

Grieving Mother Presses D.C. Mayor About Officers ‘Unconstitutional’ Pardons

Karen Hylton interrupted Mayor Bowser's press conference demanding answers about the recent pardons of officer Terence Sutton and Lt. Andrew Zabavsky.

A press conference with Washington D.C.’s Mayor Muriel Bowser was interrupted when the mother of Karon Hylton-Brown, who died after being pursued by police officers, pressed her about their “unconstitutional” pardons, asking if she told President Donald Trump that her son was illegal, WUSA 9 reports.

Karen Hylton interrupted the budget press conference shortly after Bowser walked up to the podium demanding answers about the recent pardons of Officer Terence Sutton and Lt. Andrew Zabavsky. “Mayor Bowser, did you tell President Trump that Karon is illegal?” Hylton shouted while being approached by Metro Police officers. “Do you know the pardon of those officers is very much unconstitutional?”

Mother of Karon Hylton Brown interrupts @MayorBowser press conference @nbcwashington pic.twitter.com/H8Wre17fpj
— Mark Segraves (@SegravesNBC4) March 17, 2025

As officers approached her, Hylton warned officers, saying, “Don’t touch me, don’t touch me. Do not put your hands on me,” Bowser attempted to de-escalate the situation, asking the grieving mother to “step outside.” But Hylton fought back, saying she had tried to talk to the mayor before. “I tried to talk to you. I tried to ask you. I’m asking you again—did you let him know that the pardon of those officers is unconstitutional?”

While Hylton was escorted out, Bowser finally responded, stating, “No, Ms. Hylton, I have not talked to the president about your son.”

Hylton-Brown was killed in 2020 after being chased by officers for allegedly riding his motorbike on the sidewalk without a helmet. Police followed the victim into an alley before he zoomed out of the alley and was hit by a passing car. He died in the hospital days later. Sutton was convicted of second-degree murder, conspiracy, and obstruction of justice in connection with the deadly pursuit, while Zabavsky was convicted of conspiracy and obstruction of justice.

The case was labeled historic as it was the first time a D.C. officer was convicted of murder in the line of duty. Both officers received lengthy prison sentences — Sutton was sentenced to five years, and Zabavsky received four years — but both remained free on bond, filing conviction appeals. According to the Washington Times, prosecutors claimed the officers worked together to cover up their involvement by turning their body cameras off to discuss the incident in private and lying to higher-ranking officers about how the pursuit went down and the severity of Hylton-Brown’s injuries.

Hylton is known for passionate outbursts related to her son’s case as an outspoken advocate calling for accountability from city leaders. During Sutton and Zabavsky’s trial in 2022, the mother was arrested for yelling and physically struggling with the U.S. Marshals once the jury announced the verdict. After being tried on assault charges in 2023 as a result of the altercation, Hylton was later acquitted.

Nick Cannon Is ‘Not Done’ Having Children

Nick Cannon Is ‘Not Done’ Having Children

When given the option of having a vasectomy, he says he's 'leaving it up to the Lord.'

Multi-entertainer Nick Cannon recently admitted that he may not be done with fathering more children, on a recent podcast episode.

On an episode of We Playin’ Spades featuring “Pivot” podcast hosts, Ryan Clark and Channing Crowder that was released March 17, Cannon revealed that he may not be ready to stop populating the world with more children. The Daily Cannon Show host already has 12 children with six different women: Moroccan, Monroe, Golden, Powerful Queen, Zion Mixolydian, Zillion Heir, Zen, Legendary Love, Onyx Ice, Rise Messiah, Beautiful Zeppelin, and Halo.

When questioned about having another child, and he quickly stated that he was “leaving it up to the Lord.”

The guests on the podcast know a thing or two about not having children, as both Clark and Crowder confessed to having vasectomies to stop the chance of impregnating any more women. It was suggested to Cannon that the entertainer “needs to go think about” getting one after stating that he’s not done with his baby-making ways.

Cannon laughed and stated that the conversation felt like an “intervention.” But, he did admit that getting one “may be the responsible thing to do” but didn’t seem to be committed to getting one done. But he’s “not done.”

“I’m feeling judged,” the former Wild ‘N Out host said, laughing.

Last summer, Cannon revealed that due to the value of his, let’s say, private parts, he got them insured for $10 million.

“Haters say it’s time for me to stop having kids and put this super sperm to rest,” Cannon said in a written statement. “But I’m doubling down on these valuable balls and my future kids. Shoutout to Dr. Squatch for giving my balls the credit they deserve and hooking me up with the protection I need to keep this family tree rolling!”

Now, he proudly claims to have the most valuable balls.
