Pensacola gathers to mourn the late Pope Francis
PENSACOLA, Fla. (WKRG) — At Basilica of St. Michael the Archangel in Pensacola, people gathered Monday to reflect on the passing of Pope Francis. Mobile archbishop responds to Pope Francis' death Bishop William Wack, like so many others, woke up Monday morning to the news. 'Even though we expected, well, he was old; he was frail, even though we knew Pope Francis was going to die, anytime a loved one dies, it always comes as a shock,' Bishop Wack said. 'He did change the way we minister to others, asking us to be more humble, asking us to work for peace, reminding us to care for creation, reminding us to pay attention to those on the margins, especially the poor and those in war-torn areas,' he added. Messages of love were felt and received by others outside the Catholic Church. 'We're not Catholic, but we have many, many Catholic friends, and we're Christian, and we just completely respect the church and everything they've done, their presence, so we're sad to see him pass,' Jim Ryder, a Pensacola resident, said. 'I remember the exact day he was actually picked to be the Pope,' Kate Rocheleau, another Pensacola resident, said. 'I was in middle school, and in our religion class, we were watching the whole deliberation and the counsel. And when he got picked, him coming out, it was a huge thing, and now that I'm 25, it's crazy he's gone.' Bishop Wack said Catholic churches in Northwest Florida will honor the Pope as the period of mourning begins. Mobile's Catholic community mourns Pope Francis' death 'I've asked all our priests to celebrate a Mass for the eternal rest of his soul,' Bishop Wack said. 'We will pray for, pray with, the church as they put his body in the simple casket in Rome at the same time.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Wack 100 Denies Big U's Claim He Helped Feds Build Rollin' 60s RICO Case
Wack 100 has reacted to the accusations by Eugene 'Big U' Henley that he is responsible for the federal indictments handed down against the alleged members of the Rollin' 60s Neighborhood Crips gang. The rap manager took to Clubhouse on Thursday (March 20) to defend himself, just one day after Henley surrendered to federal authorities to face a raft of conspiracy charges including murder, extortion, and fraud. Wack scoffed at Henley's labels. In a fiery tirade, the record executive responded by calling the alleged crime boss a 'monster.' 'Sh*t ain't got nothing to do with Wack!' he said while also refuting Henley's claim that he had been circulating legal documents regarding the alleged illegal dealings on social media or elsewhere. 'It seems to me like I've been threatening the paperwork, Wack ain't said nothing,' the West Coaster added. Also addressed were Henley's charges the manager had prior knowledge of the authorities' plans to raid Henley's homes and properties. Wack stated that it was obvious Henley and his alleged cohorts were on law enforcement's radar. 'What you mean, 'How did they know?! How did they know?!' Wack said, mocking Henley. ''How did they know they was gonna raid my house?' Oh, you a goofy. How the f**k you didn't know?' In a series of clips shared on social media prior to his surrender, Henley had called out Wack 100, labeling him an informant and accusing him of assisting the Feds in sullying his name. 'Wack said 100 times he was gonna take my contracts,' the Los Angeles native said in the video. 'He working with the FBI.' Henley, who continues to maintain his innocence, attributed the indictments to retribution for philanthropic work he'd done in the city. 'They going around scaring and intimidating everybody y'all sending it around, getting people in trouble. Like y'all don't understand what the FBI do to Black men who try to help their community.' Federal officials have accused Big U of running a criminal enterprise and conspiracy to commit extortion, fraud, murder, and a host of other crimes.

Eugene 'Big U' Henley Arrested In Rollin' 60s Crips RICO Takedown
On Wednesday (March 19) federal authorities moved to take down the Rollin' 60s Neighborhood Crips, naming music executive Eugene 'Big U' Henley as the leading defendant. Initially listed as a fugitive, Henley was taken into custody later that night, according to the Associated Press. The press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office, Central District of California accuses Henley and more than a dozen others of crimes including extortion, murder, robbery, trafficking and exploiting sex workers, fraud, and more. Before turning himself in, Henley spoke to his followers on Instagram discussing the entire ordeal, his property being raided, and accusing Wack 100, and 600 of helping law enforcement in his arrest. 'If you had something against a Black man you should handle it with a Black man in the streets. Wack said 100 times he was gonna take my contracts, he working with the FBI,' Henley exclaimed. 'I ain't been nothing but help to our community. But I guess it is what it is. This is the price being Black and trying to help somebody, trying to help your community and do what you can. You just guilty because somebody else don't like you and they go on the internet and do what the f**k they want to and y'all gon' promote it.' He ended by exclaiming 'I ain't did nothing.' In the press release, authorities allege Henley orchestrated the 'Big U Enterprise' from 2010 to present day, operating in a mafia-like fashion. He is accused of using his long-standing association with the Rollin' 60s, where he is allegedly regarded as a leader, and other street gangs to intimidate businesses and individuals in Los Angeles. Despite affiliations, the U.S. attorney's office describes the 'Big U Enterprise' as a distinct and independent criminal enterprise. Bricc Baby and Luce Cannon, affiliates of the No Jumper LA podcast, were also arrested. Federal investigators also name Sylvester Robinson, 59, a.k.a. 'Vey,' of Northridge, and Mark Martin, 50, a.k.a. 'Bear Claw,' of the Beverlywood area of Los Angeles among those taken into custody. In total, 10 alleged Rollin' 60s members and associates were arrested and charged with various federal crimes, including drug trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and firearms offenses. 'From day one, the Los Angeles Police Department has been proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with the FBI in this critical investigation,' said Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell. 'The invaluable expertise provided by the Operations South Bureau FBI Task Force on the Rollin' 60's criminal street gang has played a pivotal role in securing these charges. This is a major step forward in our ongoing fight against gang violence, and it brings hope and relief to a community that has endured far too much. Together, we will continue to protect and serve, working tirelessly to ensure the safety of our neighborhoods.' Henley is also accused of murdering a victim identified in the affidavit as 'R.W.' Identified by the Los Angeles Times as Rayshawn Williams, the aspiring rapper was signed to Henley's Uneek Music label. Williams was killed in January 2021, after recording an alleged diss track that Andrew Roosa, a special agent with the FBI, believes was directed toward Henley. The outlet noted that according to Williams' family, Henley had coached the young rapper in football since he was young. According to the press statement, Henley and Uneek Music paid for Williams to travel to Las Vegas for a studio session where a dispute over an agreed-upon rate reportedly resulted in the aforementioned song. Henley and Robinson allegedly traveled to Las Vegas to confront Williams, shot him in the head, and left his body in a ditch. Authorities also claim Henley submitted a fraudulent application for a COVID-19 pandemic relief loan and defrauded donors by using funds meant for community enrichment through non-profits set up for embezzlement. According to the Times, celebrities would have to pay Henley for protection and approval 'or face retaliation from the Big U Enterprise.' If convicted, Henley could spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Internet reacts after Aaron The Plumber leaks phone call where Wack 100 allegedly threatens his mother
Aaron The Plumber, known for his viral antics, is once again at the center of controversy after leaking a heated phone call between himself and renowned music industry figure Wack 100. The call, posted on TikTok and later shared across social media, allegedly features Wack 100 threatening Aaron and his mother. The phone conversation, which has since gone viral, shows Wack 100 accusing Aaron of threatening him and his associates. In response, Wack allegedly makes several chilling comments, including saying, 'killing yo a**' and 'Mamas, kids, we don't give a f**k who it is.' Aaron, seemingly unshaken, responds by challenging Wack's words and expressing a desire to meet up in person to resolve the issue. Aaron The Plumber leaks heated phone call with Wack 100. 😳 — No Jumper (@nojumper) March 11, 2025 The heated exchange, which also references an incident involving Ray J's security allegedly spitting on Aaron earlier this month, has sparked a significant amount of reactions online. Many social media users have questioned whether Aaron's decision to record and leak the conversation constitutes "snitching." One user remarked, 'Ain't this snitching?' while another pointed out, 'The one doing all that talking be the first to get knocked down.' Ain't this snitching? — kdb (@AlvanOmoregie) March 11, 2025 However, some users defended Aaron, suggesting that he was wise to record the conversation given Wack's threatening remarks. 'Super smart that way if something happens to him, Wack's suspect numero uno,' one fan commented. Others expressed outrage at the nature of Wack's alleged threats, particularly his comments regarding children and women. 'Wack 100 is threatening kids! That's a new low!' one user wrote. SO WACK 100 is threatening kids! Kids not even safe!!! THATS A NEW LOW!!! — iSTAN (@iStannatSi) March 11, 2025 He threatening kids and women Wack is a old ass loser — Poeboy412 (@eliteblackguyy) March 11, 2025 Enough evidence to put wack in jail if something were to happen 😂💀 — Cant make this up (@gookyjhit) March 10, 2025 This altercation is not the first public clash between Aaron and Wack. Earlier in the year, Aaron took to Twitch to share that Wack 100 allegedly owes him money and has a history of gambling-related issues. The tension between the two has only escalated since then, with the viral phone call further intensifying the feud. In addition to the phone call drama, Aaron recently dropped a diss track, 'Spit On Me,' addressing Ray J and the ongoing fallout from the security incident. However, it remains unclear whether Ray J will respond to these latest accusations.
