CEO wasn’t shot dead

Even though the rapper did get shot, he isn’t dead. Jizzle updated fans about his condition by sharing a video of himself in the hospital bed with his gunshot wound covered in bandages.

He appeared to be doing OK in the clip that’s available on his Instagram account. He says he is made of “concrete”. Meanwhile, the outlet has learned from the Memphis police that an investigation into the matter is underway.

In a series of stories shared on Instagram, Jizzle told his fans he would be responding to calls and texts once he feels better as he needs rest at the moment.

The authorities are working toward finding out how someone was able to take a firearm past the metal detectors at the security at the FedEx Forum in Memphis where the shooting happened.

No other injuries related to the shooting were reported. The cops have urged people with any further information to call CrimeStopppers at 901-528-2274.

Rapper was reportedly rushed to the hospital

According to TMZ Hip Hop, Jizzle was found by the authorities with a gunshot wound and had to be rushed to the hospital from the concert location.

No suspects have been identified in the shooting and the police think the rapper was the sole target, claim reports.

The shooting is said to have occurred just before 10:30 p.m., less than 30 minutes after Lil Baby got on the stage. The authorities arrived at the scene following reports about a person in critical condition.

For the unversed, JIzzle is late rapper Young Dolph‘s cousin. The latter was shot dead at the age of 26 in November 2021.

A spokesperson for the arena said an investigation into Jizzle’s shooting is underway. “A person was shot tonight at FedExForum during the Lil Baby concert. The incident is under investigation and we are fully cooperating with the Memphis Police Department,” the statement read.

Fans pray for his speedy recovery

Jizzle’s fans are hoping the rapper recovers soon as he addresses the shooting from the hospital bed.

One wrote: “Just continue thanking the Lord you still here!”

“Praying for your and a speedy recovery. It’s a miracle you’re still here talking,” said another.

A third person said: “Ony the lors could have saved you. You must count your blessings. Praying so you heal quickly.”

Video of snapback accident on a boat surfaces on Reddit

Warning: Disturbing content

It is unclear when or where the snapback accident captured in the viral video occurred, but it has been on Reddit for over two years. We will not embed the video in the article as some readers may find it distressing.

The video is about 16 seconds long and depicts a man in an orange uniform, standing near the coil of a mooring line.

Mooring rope is used to secure a vessel by fixing it to a dock or a buoy. The ropes are found in the midship wrapped around permanent structures.

About 8 seconds into the terrifying video, you’ll see the rope snap and get pulled back at an unimaginable speed and pressure. As the broken end approaches the coil, it strikes the crew member standing in the snapback zone. The worker collapses instantly and a fellow employee starts looking for help as soon as he finds his colleague on the ground.

The scary video can be found with the caption: Finale Destination, Sailor Dies in Freaky Accident. It is unclear if the incident shown in the video is real and if the crew member passed away as the text claims.

Mooring line snapback accidents can be fatal

Reddit has more videos showing different mooring line snapback incidents and most of the victims are said to have succumbed to the injuries caused by the broken rope.

The crew members are advised not to be near the snapback zone that’s reserved for lines under tension and most accidents are attributed to a lack of awareness about the dangers.

The rope is at the risk of snapping when left unattended on the ship and it comes in contact with water as the loose end can get pulled inside and increase the tension.

The morning line can also break if it has lost its elasticity with time and worn out.

Users are traumatized

Some Redditers wish they hadn’t watched the mooring line snapback accident videos that have now left them scarred.

Reacting to the clip one user wrote: “The most horrible accident I’ve seen. I can’t believe he was still moving.”

“That’s some final destination type stuff. Too scary,” said another.

A third one said: “So much tension in this clip. OMG.”

‘AITA for ignoring my girlfriend’s wishes while she was in labor’ enrages users

The Reddit post by a 33-year-old boyfriend complaining about the mother of his child has garnered reactions the OP didn’t expect.

His 21-year-old girlfriend apparently came up with “ridiculous” rules for when their baby was born and she also never got along with his mother.

She told him she didn’t want anyone in the delivery room with her except him and her mom. The OP didn’t like the thought of his mother missing the first moments of his baby.

The girlfriend was specific about not letting anyone touch the baby without washing their hands or kissing it. The OP found her demands unreasonable.

She said she didn’t want any visitors immediately after the baby was born and the boyfriend felt it was a jab at his mom who wanted to be with her first grandchild.

The OP felt his partner was trying to attack his mom at every chance.

Boyfriend supports his mother

The girlfriend went into labor and the OP drove her to the hospital where they met her mother. The Reddit user decided to bring his mother to the delivery room as his girlfriend was yet to have active contractions.

She obviously didn’t want to see his mother against her will, which resulted in his mother being physically removed from the room.

When the girlfriend went into labor, the OP wanted to bring his mother to witness the birth of the child. But his partner made sure he and his mother both stayed out of the room and he never got to be a part of his child’s birth.

He went to see the baby soon after it was born and he brought his mother with him. The grandmother planted a kiss on the baby’s cheek which quickly enraged his girlfriend.

She was furious at what his mother did and the husband let it happen despite being aware of his partner’s rules which she was vocal about.

Users slam the OP for violating GF’s boundaries

Reddit users have argued in favor of the girlfriend and supported her opinion about pregnant women having the final say in some matters with regard to who can be a part of the childbirth.

One said: “She could have chosen to be in there totally alone, you have zero right to choose what happens in there. She is the patient. We like to think of.”

“Me as the dad I did not allow anyone to even be in the same room as my children. No one in the delivery room besides husband and her mom,” said another.

A third user said: “I do think she was kinda harsh on mom. But then again it’s her choice I guess.”

A look at ‘AITA for not inviting any of my siblings to my wedding’ story

The OP is a 23-year-old female. She is getting married in a few months and has decided to not invite any of her siblings. This has caused her relationship with them to get strained.

The OP has four siblings who are significantly older than her. She has two brothers who are 38 each. Next, she has a 36-year-old brother and a 34-year-old sister. All of her siblings got married when she was a teen. They all had child-free weddings and she wasn’t invited to any of their special days despite being their sibling. “My oldest sibling first had a child-free wedding and then the others decided to follow,” the OP writes.

When OP’s oldest brother got married, she was 10. When her other older brother tied the knot she was 12. At the time of her sister’s child-free wedding, she was 15. “At first she didn’t want a child-free wedding, but all of the family members convinced her because “OMG it’s so refreshing to be in a wedding where children don’t bring havoc”” OP shares.

When the OP’s last brother got married, she was 17. This time around OP knew she wasn’t getting an invite. “I didn’t ask, beg,” she says. Furthermore, OP’s step-cousin who had just turned 18 made the cut on the wedding guest list but she was left out.

OP’s siblings demanded an explanation when she uninvited them to her wedding

While OP was left out at her siblings’ weddings, they were all upset when she decided to pull an UNO reverse card on them. All of her siblings came to her house demanding to know why she did not want them at her wedding.

“You didn’t want me in your wedding I don’t want you in my,” she told them. She also explains to them how hurt she had felt when they decided to exclude her from their important days.

The siblings go on to explain how their weddings had alcohol and they did not want young and impressionable kids to be there. “I said all I wanted was to be included in the wedding part, I didn’t care about the after-party” she explains.

However, her mom who was extremely upset with her decision “started screaming.” She expressed it was unfair of OP to exclude her siblings. She also expresses how she wants all of her kids to be together on a beautiful occasion. The OP calls this “ironic.”  

Redditors react to the family drama

One Reddit user called the sibling’s decision to exclude OP as “cruel.” They further expressed that the siblings’ reasoning about alcohol and kids being impressionable was “ridiculous.” “NTA. It was cruel that they excluded you. Their comments about alcohol are ridiculous. It’s not hard to keep alcohol away from children at events. They’re making excuses” they said.

A few other Redditors began giving OP ideas for getting back at her family members.

“I mean, if she really wants to be petty, she can tell her sister that she has a strict rule that anyone who barred her from their wedding is barred from hers. And if she makes an exception for her sister, what about other excluders? It wouldn’t be fair to them” one user said.

“If her fiance doesn’t have siblings, she should’ve written sibling-free wedding on the invites to make it official,” another person expressed.

“Exactly! I hope the OP won’t include the mother either!” another person said.

Another reader reiterated that OP is Not the A**hole (NTA) saying, “NTA, I really don’t get the non-invitations to children in your own family considering that it is supposed to be a celebration with family.” They also called her decision to not invite her siblings “justified.” “Tit for tat is completely justified.” They also noted her family’s behavior towards OP as “malicious bias.”

Sad Boy was best known for his videos with Poets Square Cats’ other pet Lola who was always very protective of Sad Boy when the cat’s rescuer tried filming him for TikTok videos.

However, in a heartbreaking update, Sad Boy’s rescuers at Poets Square Cats revealed that the TikTok famous cat had passed away. In an Instagram post, they revealed that Sad Boy was “humanely euthanized.”

In another post, the rescuer revealed that the pet had been losing weight rapidly and had stopped eating in the last few days. The post announcing his death also said that the doctors had found an “inoperable mass in his abdomen, messing up his stomach and affecting his kidneys.”

TikTok’s famous Baby Bird cat also died

Baby Bird’s rescuers at Rafiki’s Rescue also posted an Instagram post along with TikToks announcing the adorable internet kitty’s passing. Their announcement came on the same day as the one saying Sad Boy had died. Sadly Baby Bird was only five months old.

Her owner Megan from Rafiki’s Rescue posted a video on social media honoring the feline’s passing while singing a song and playing her old and memorable clips with the cat. “I sat all yesterday, unable to speak a word. I could not bring myself to do anything but sit there. So when words fail, the only thing I can resort to is music. And this was the only way I felt I could honor her and announce her passing,” Megan wrote.

In a prior post, Megan revealed that Baby Bird had been diagnosed with feline Sarcoidosis. It refers to a condition among felines when there’s an abnormal growth of tissues. Just last weekend, the kitty had to be taken to the hospital due to “sudden lethargy” as well as “neurological impairment.”

Jamie Foxx’s missing head tattoo

A TikTok video shows the Django Unchained star standing at the fast food chain ordering food in a black Dolce and Gabbana tracksuit.

The McDonald’s worker is in awe that he’s walked into the store and they have a conversation. He then pays and she hands him his receipt.

While waiting for his food, Jamie Foxx continues talking to the woman and does a silly dance which makes amuses fans.

The whole clip is filmed from behind, showing the actor’s bald head – and there’s no tattoo in sight. See for yourself:

Here’s his famous ink

“No tattoo on the back of his head,” the TikTok user wrote, adding ominous music in the background.

There are hundreds of photos online of the star’s tattoo, a black tribal-style ink that stretches the whole length of his head.

Here’s a clear picture of it from 2005:

Foxx has been seen without the ink numerous times over the past few months, including when he returned a woman’s purse in Chicago and was seen playing Topgolf.

Wild ‘clone’ conspiracy

So where is the tattoo? Well, the obvious answer is that he’s had it removed. However, fans have come up with a wilder idea.

The missing ink has sparked a conspiracy theory that the actor has been cloned and a fake version of him is walking around.

One person wrote on Twitter “Where is his tattoo? He’s been cloned” while another said: “That’s not Jamie Foxx.”

A third person added “Jamie Foxx has been cloned” – and his new movie is weirdly called They Cloned Tyrone too.

However, the star shut down the insane conspiracy on Instagram in July, saying: “Some people talking about I’m cloned.”

He then said “Check this out” and pretended to peel off his face before confirming: “Not cloned man but I’m here on earth because of some great people. I’m here on Earth because of god man.”

In the same video, he told fans he was feeling better following medical complications. Foxx was hospitalised in April for a mystery illness which took him on an “unexpected dark journey”.

DanTDM ‘devastated’ over the loss of Ellie the pug

On Twitter recently, DanTDM said goodbye to Ellie, his pug of ten years.

‘I’m so devastated..,’ he wrote on 6 September. ‘Today we unexpectedly lost our little Ellie. Our home feels so weird without her. She’d been with us for everything over the past almost 10 years and I’ll never forget her. Hopefully I’ll see you again one day, bear.’

The post was viewed over 3.4m times, with thousands of people sending Dan their condolences.

‘I’m so sorry, pets are everything – Sending love to you and the family,’ one person wrote.

‘We are so unbelievably sorry,’ another wrote.

‘This is really hard man, sending love to both of you in this tough time,’ another wrote.

Who is Ellie the pug? YouTuber release emotional video explaining tragic events

Following the Twitter update, DanTDM posted a YouTube video on 7 September titled: ‘goodbye ellie’.

Dan was visibly emotional from the outset, holding back tears as he explained that Ellie had died the day before. Dan wiped tears away as he did his best to update fans on the situation.

He explained that he’d had Ellie since she was a puppy and that she was one month away from being 10. He said the death stings as Ellie went to the vets with an infected tooth/gum which meant she needed an operation.

However, she tragically didn’t wake up from the operation.

Dan then admitted he wasn’t going to post a video but knew he had to so he could cry more and deal with it.

He said he thinks a lot of his fanbase will feel like they know Ellie as she has featured in countless vlogs of his. A vlog titled ‘MEET ELLIE THE PUG!’ was uploaded to his channel nine years ago, and she has featured in other videos such as ‘ELLIE THE PUG REACTS.’

Ellie was also a part of Dan’s live shows, and was part of his journey so far.

He added that she felt like a member of his family and that his heart “literally hurts.” He concluded that before he got the phone call about what happened to her he was planning how they were going to pick her up.

“I miss her already”, he says. “She’s not here anymore, and I’m really sad. Really sad.”

Article claims Oliver Anthony is going on tour with Kid Rock and Jason Aldean

An online article recently claimed that Oliver Anthony was joining fellow musicians Kid Rock and Jason Aldean to headline a “You Can’t Cancel America” tour.

The headline of the article read, “Breaking: Oliver Anthony To Join Kid Rock And Jason Aldean For ‘You Can’t Cancel America’ Tour”, and appeared on the website, SpaceXMania.com.

The article claimed tickets were selling out fast. It also said: ‘The tour, which promises to be one part musical extravaganza and three parts comedic opera, has left fans wondering what they can expect from this improbable trio.’

Sadly, the story linking Anthony and Kid Rock is fake

While many fans got their hopes up, unfortunately, the story is fake. There’s no such thing as the “You Can’t Cancel America” tour, and as far as we know, Oliver Anthony isn’t linking up with Kid Rock or Jason Aldean.

The source of the article, SpaceXMania.com, publishes stories that are often satirical in nature. The website stated on its “About Us” page: “Our satirical articles provide a fresh and entertaining take on the latest space news, while our analysis delves deep into the technical, financial, and political aspects of space travel.”

Anthony to perform two sets at the upcoming Louder Than Life Festival

While he won’t be performing alongside Kid Rock, Anthony, real name Christopher Lunsford, is set to perform two sets at the upcoming Louder Than Life Festival. The festival runs from September 21-24 at the Highland Festival Grounds at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky.

Anthony will play on September 21 and 22 at the Kroger Big Bourbon Bar. Other artists on the festival’s lineup include Weezer, Avenged Sevenfold, Tool, Rancid, AWOLNation, Flagging Molly, Megadeth and Corey Taylor.

That 70s Show actor sentenced to 30 years in prison for raping two women

The actor, who maintains his innocence, was convicted on two of three forcible rape charges in May 2023. A jury of seven women and five men found Masterson guilty of the two counts after seven days of deliberations. However, the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict on a third count, an allegation that Masterson also raped a longtime girlfriend in 2001.

On Thursday (7 September 2023), Masterson was sentenced by a Los Angeles judge.

As he was sentenced to 30 years in prison, Masterson blew a kiss to his wife Bijou Phillips who was in court to hear the powerful victim impact statements that were read out.

What was the evidence that led to Danny Masterson’s sentence? Harrowing statements of three brave women

The testimony of brave women was the main evidence that led to Danny Masterson being jailed. At the sentencing, the three women in the case told the judge that Masterson’s crimes had ruined their lives. They asked the judge to give Masterson life behind bars.

Jane Doe 1 called Masterson “a true coward and heartless monster.”

“I didn’t choose to be born into Scientology, just as I didn’t choose to be raped by Danny Masterson,” she said.

Jane Doe 2 said to Masterson across the courtroom: “I still have to contend with what you did to me that night… That takes a life’s worth of therapy to repair. Every time I think I’m okay, that rape comes back to me.”

“No one is alone,“ Jane Doe 2 added on her own victim statement. “Nowhere felt safe …I have severe PTSD, waves of panic attacks,” she went on to say. “You did this to me and all your victims intentionally.”

“I believed him when he called me stupid, untalented, trash,” said a statement by Jane Doe 3.  The Jane Doe said that she was “regularly abused …and raped repeatedly” in the “cycle of abuse.”

Marsterson did not testify during the trial, and the defense didn’t call any witnesses. They ragued the acts were consensual, and claimed the women’s testimonies had inconsistencies.

He reportedly gave them drinks and they became woozy

The women whose testimony led to Masterson’s conviction said he gave them drinks and they became woozy or passed out before he raped them.

However, the trial that ended with a conviction in May 2023 was Masterson’s second trial for the same charges. The first trial ended in November 2022 with a hung jury. But the judge ordered it was a mistrial and opted to re-try the case in front of a new set of jurors.

Per reports, the difference between the two trials related to the allegation of drugging. In the first trial, the prosecution did not outright say that Masterson had drugged the women. In the retrial, prosecutors were allowed to say Masterson drugged the women. The actor was not charged with any counts of drugging, and no toxicology evidence was present in the trial.

Scientology took centre stage during the Danny Masterson trials

The Church of Scientology was prominent throughout Danny Masterson’s trials. The actor was one of Scientology’s most prominent celebrity members and was a lifelong member of the church.

All three victims were Scientologists at the time of their assaults, although they have since left the church. It is alleged Masterson used his prominence in the Church of Scientology to avoid accountability and punishment for decades after the attacks.

Two of his accusers, former members themselves, claim the church discouraged them from contacting law enforcement for years. They testified when they reported Masterson to Scientology officials, they were told they were not raped. They claimed they were sent through ethics programmes, and were warned against going to police to report a member of such high standing.

Scientology officials have denied “the scandalous allegations that the Church harassed the accusers”. They claimed that these allegation have been “debunked” and portions of the trial testimony regarding the organisation were “uniformly false”.

“The Church has no policy prohibiting or discouraging members from reporting criminal conduct of anyone – Scientologists or not – to law enforcement,” the statement said.

Picture of ‘Antarctica from space’

The viral picture is an image of the bottom of our planet, showing the vast expanse of white ice covering the continent of Antarctica.

Antarctica is a virtually uninhabited, ice-covered landmass. Its isolated terrain shelters rich wildlife, including many penguins.

Everyone is in awe at the picture, with one person writing on Twitter: “That is awesome” and another adding: “So beautiful.”

It’s not what it seems

However, the photo is actually a computer-generated image that shows the amount of sea ice around Antarctica more than 15 years ago.

This sea ice isn’t visible from space, but the depiction was released in 2007 to help people visualise the ice around the South Pole.

Two images were created, one for the Arctic and another for Antarctica, and they both show the sea ice on September 21, 2005.

A post on NASA’s Scientific Visualisation Studio explains the color of the sea ice is derived from the AMSR-E 89 GHz brightness temperature.

The extent of the sea ice was determined by the AMSR-E sea ice concentration and the global cloud cover was obtained from Blue Marble cloud data distributed in 2002.

Some weren’t fooled

While many were amazed by the fake photo of Antarctica from space, others were quick to realise it was actually CGI.

One person wrote: “Amazing there’s no cloud cover, oh wait it’s partly CGI.”

You realise that’s not an actual picture, right?” said another.

A third added: “This is not a real photo, it’s an image that was rendered on a computer. Still cool though.”

“Antarctica is NOT above the clouds. Nice CGI,” someone else tweeted.

Video of a cat singing with owner goes viral

The video of the orange cat singing with its owner can be found on multiple accounts as several surprised users have posted their reactions to the animal’s unbelievable talent.

The viral clip sees the cat sing almost perfectly in tune repeating after his owner. The original source of the video is unclear.

The cat imitates its owner after every line of the song and to the viewers, it seems like it has been trained to do so. However, some users have questioned the authenticity of the clip as none had seen a cat with the ability to sing like a human so far.

With the advent of artificial intelligence, it is possible to digitally create almost anything and the singing cat could also be an AI, as TikTok users have pointed out.

Or, the ginger cat may have vocals different from the other cats on the Internet, and its owner could have edited the its audio to ensure it’s on par with the actual singing.

TikTok users are obsessed with the clip

Not all TikTok users interested in the video believe it’s real. As a lot of them have noted, they love the idea of a cat singing so well with its owner regardless of its origin.

So clearly, people haven’t ruled out the possibility of the cat and its voice being fake, but that isn’t stopping them from enjoying it.

One user wrote: “Even if it’s auto-tune, it’s still cute. I want one.”

“I can’t stop seeing it- it’s not just the cat- it’s the bonding with him & his cat,” said another.

A third user said: “Auto-tune or not I love this cat. He sings just perfectly”

“I think it’s just slowed down and auto-tuned, but still very cute,” read one comment.

There are now no more walkouts planned, although more could be called at any time as a deal still hasn’t been reached.

Unions only have to give 14 days’ notice when calling new strikes and they will continue until workers receive a pay rise.

Walkouts planned on CrossCountry on September 9 have also been suspended.

National Rail’s Industrial Action page will be updated if more strikes are announced.

RDG responds to RMT’s demands

Ahead of the strike on September 2, the union said it had received a reply to its “road map” from the Rail Delivery Group (RDG).

“After a week, the RDG has formally responded to our initiative to try and reach a negotiated settlement to the national dispute,” Mick Lynch said in August.

“While it is encouraging that the train-operating companies want to continue dialogue with us next week, a fresh proposal will be needed to progress this dispute towards a settlement.”

There hasn’t been an update since then, but the rail operator and union are continuously in talks.

The RMT’s road map

On August 26, the RMT demanded:

• A one-year pay proposal for all companies covering the year 2022-23, with an underpin, backdated to the relevant anniversary dates in 2022.
• A guarantee of no compulsory redundancies.
• An undertaking that discussions with RMT within the companies will be deferred until the outcome and determination from the ticket office closures consultation has been provided by the Government.
• A commitment that in the interim, ahead of December 1 2023, each Train Operating Company will provide to the RMT in writing, their full agenda, and details of “Workforce Reform” proposals.
• A commitment that the existing collective bargaining structures and processes in each company will be respected and adhered to in full including consultation and negotiation.
• A commitment that pay negotiations for the year 2023–2024 will commence from December 1 2023.

How the colours work in the game

Every year, the McDonald’s Monopoly pieces are the same. The rarest are the dark blue and they get increasingly common all the way to brown. They’re as follows:

• Dark blue: Mayfair
• Green: Bond Street
• Yellow: Coventry Street
• Red: Strand
• Train stations: Liverpool St Station
• Orange: Marlborough Street
• Light blue: Euston Road
• Pink: Northumberland Avenue
• Brown: Old Kent Road

How many Mayfair stickers are there in McDonald’s Monopoly 2023?

The biggest McDonald’s Monopoly prize to win is £100,000 cash, but in order to win the cash you’ll have to collect both dark blue properties – Mayfair and Park Lane in the game.

As always, there are millions of Park Lane stickers. So, even if you’ve got one of these, you’re still pretty far away from winning the £100,000.

That’s because there are only five Mayfair stickers in McDonald’s Monopoly 2023.

Four of these Mayfair stickers will be hidden in the various food packaging, and one will be hidden on the app as part of the Double Peel game.

The Double Peel means you can peel another sticker every time you bank a property in the McDonald’s app, giving you another chance to win.

If you do manage to collect both dark blue stickers, you are entitled to £100,000 cash.

How many Liverpool Street station and Bond Street McDonald’s Monopoly stickers are there?

There are a bunch of rare stickers in the game which enable players to win prizes such as money, holidays, laptops and cars.

Liverpool Street station and Bond Street are among the rarest McDonald’s Monopoly stickers in 2023, and if you’re able to match them up with their set you could win some epic prizes.

There are 2,010 available Liverpool Street station stickers in McDonald’s Monopoly this year. If you collect the set you can claim £200 cash.

There are 21 available Bond Street stickers in McDonald’s Monopoly 2023. Bond Street is green and if you manage to collect all the greens you’ll win a Mini electric car.

Photo of Bahsid McLean holding mom Tanya Bird’s head traumatizes TikTok

The disturbing story of Bahside McLean went viral in September 2023 after social media users discussed the shocking events that took place ten years prior.

In February 2013, Tanya Byrd was killed and dismembered by her oldest son Bahsid McLean in a gruesome and despicable act. She had been dismembered and then stuffed inside heavy-duty garbage bags which had then been put in duffel bags and dumped in a number of locations in the Bronx, New York.

At the time, Bahsid McLean, 23, took a photo holding the decapitated head of his mother while posing in front of a bathroom mirror.

A law enforcement official said at the time that the shocking photo was just one of several images found on McLean’s cell phone.

“I lost sleep over it. Just sheer inhumanity. It’s horrible what he did to her,” the source reportedly said.

The unblurred photo of Bahsid Mclean holding Tanya Bird’s head made its way onto social media platforms at the time but was quickly taken down. However, a blurred version of the selfie has been doing the rounds on TikTok recently and has been shared by the Daily Mail in the years since the incident.

‘Some people are just too sick in the head’, one concerned person wrote.

‘My mouth never closed,’ another who caught up with the story on TikTok commented. ‘Sick as hell! R.I.P to that beautiful mother’, someone else said.

‘This.??? THIS IS FOUL’, another remarked.

‘Sick&Beyond Twisted,’ another person wrote, while another commented, ‘I’m so shocked – idk what to even say.’

What happened to McLean and what we know about him now

Shortly after, Bahsid was arrested and charged with the murder of his mother. He appeared in court wearing a garbage bag and underwent a psychiatric evaluation. In court, Bahsid professed his innocence.  

According to the criminal complaint, Bahsid had stabbed his mother to death and then cut up her body with the assistance of another man, who was also arrested later on. Authorities said each man initially implicated the other in the killing.

A police source would go on to disclose a potential motivation for the murder, stating that Tanya had essentially told Bahsid to grow up and move out of her apartment.

Bahsid would be ordered to stand trial for the murder of his mother. McLean would be found guilty of the murder of Tanya Byrd. He was convicted of second-degree murder and unlawful dissection of a human being and was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
