ATLANTA, Ga. – The FOX 5 I-Team has uncovered that there was a fifth accuser in the Bishop Eddie Long sexual misconduct case. He never filed a lawsuit and his name was kept a secret, but Centino Kemp’s allegations of sexual misconduct against Bishop Long brought him front and center into the recent settlementnegotiations. Senior I-Team reporter Dale Russell has crisscrossed the city of Atlanta searching for the mysterious fifth young man. Centino Kemp, sometimes called Centinio, is young– barely 22. We’re told he met Bishop Long years ago. He has Long’s name tattooed on his wrist, and he is currently recording songs written from the perspective of an angry lover.For nearly two months, Russell searched all over Atlanta for Centino Kemp, and finally caught up with him leaving this small recording studio. He was happy to talk about his music. But he didn’t want to talk about anything else.The well-known sex scandal involving Bishop Eddie Long, began when four young men, all former members of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, filed suit accusing the bishop of lavishing money, trips and gifts on the young adult s, while having sexual contact with them. The case was finally settled in secret back in May. Sources tell us an undisclosed amount of money was paid to the young men. Bishop Long, in court papers, denied the allegations and later issued a statement saying it was time to move forward.Now, the I-Team has learned that after the initial lawsuits were filed , Centino Kemp came forward with similar allegations of sexual misconduct against Bishop Long. Our sources say he became involved in the settlement talks. He was the mystery man. Though his name was never made public, the I-Team has learned he may have played a significant role in the mediation. Our source says Kemp has been taking part in countless $100 an hour sessions in Atlanta recording studios for the past two months.Some are profanity-laced, sexually-charged stories of angry, jilted lovers, like Kemp’s song titled Pornography.According to various social media posts, Centino Kemp is 22 years old, single, tattooed, and always sporting different looks. He tweets openly of gay rights, and dreams of taking the recording world by storm.One source says Centino Kemp, who was raised in the Bahamas, met Bishop Eddie Long years ago during a visit to New Birth while he was a teenage student in a Florida college. The relationship meant enough for him to tattoo Eddie Long’s name on his wrist, followed by the words, “Never a Mistake, Always a Lesson.”Sources say Kemp joined in the settlement talks after he heard about the other young men’s lawsuits and though he never sued, he became a part of the final settlement.One lawyer familiar with the case confirmed Kemp was involved and was “different from the other young men,” “one piece of the puzzle that never fit,” and he made the case “more difficult.”Bishop Eddie Long had no comment about Centino Kemp. And Centino Kemp had nothing to say about the bishop. After walking away from our question, he later sprinted to an awaiting stretch limousine. The secret accuser in the Bishop Long sex scandal, drove off, still a mystery, still dreaming of stardom. |

The Observer: Posted on Tuesday, July 12, 2011 10:36 AM
It was no surprise to this observer that Flocka wants to leave the industry. It is hard to pretend or be fake when you are real person and use to real people. It's all about grand-standing and pretentious ass people, who seldom care about the people who help them to acquire their fame and riches. The fan, the movie goers and watchers, the concert goer, etc... These arrogant people make millions and we feed their egos; while they could care less. Those pompous pirates, whine and bitch if their sparkling waters aren't the correct temperature...what the hell were you drinking before the fame...tab water...damn it!! Have we all lost our damn minds, people get a few thousand followers on Twitter and become apart of certain so-called elite groups and they have an air that their shit don't stink...news flash, it does! In the streets if you don't like someone, you don't like them; both parties know what time it is. You sincerely like someone, you have their backs. In the industry, you only as good a your last favor for someone or if you can assist them to get to the top. After that you are "a non-factor". There more I can say and will say later, but for now, Flocka...I salute your non-talking ass...real talk; at least you are trying to keep it real...so homie go back to the streets...smoke some more weed, drink a forty, have 100 babies and be with your real niggas...dueces! Next time, I will go in on those parents in the industry who want to be managers; but are stumbling-blocks for their child(ren) success. |

The person was not authorized to discuss the matter and spoke to The AP on condition of anonymity. Security was called, but not police. Brown, a native of Tappahannock, Va., was on “GMA” today to promote his new album, “F.A.M.E.,” released the same day. During his interview with Roberts, she asked him about the 2009 attack on his then-girlfriend. An agitated Brown tried to deflect the questions and said: “I'm past that in my life.” After the interview, Brown performed. Reps for Brown did not immediately return phone calls for comment. Brown is on probation for his assault on Rihanna. [SOURCE REFERENCED ABOVE] OUR EDITORIAL: Ok, it is time for those of us in the media industry to stop badgering Chris Brown about the unfortunate incident between him and Rihanna. I am sure many will jump on the band wagon against Chris Brown; however it my opinion, enough is enough!! I understand we have ranking and sales we have to achieve; but to continue to badger this young man. Now the attention is off his work, his album and on this incident. Chris Brown, your hometown understands your frustrations and make a plea to those drama hounds out there to "fall back"! Give this young man a break, he made a bad mistake, he has gone through with his legal requirements and has put the past behind him...get your foot off of his neck now!!! Go find Charlie Sheen and crucify him. This editorial make come across as some type of Chris Brown fan rant; however it isn't. It's the thoughts of someone in the media industry that believes we need to let it go now!!! Chris Brown, don't let people continue to push your buttons; don't feed into this thirst for blood on or off cameras...you have come along way and you are going to continue to rise above the vampires who wish to suck the blood out of you!! Be Strong... Cruz CEO and President Cruz Inc. |

 LOS ANGELES – Singer Nate Dogg, whose near monotone crooning anchored some of rap's most seminal songs and helped define the sound of West coast hip-hop, has died at age 41.Attorney Mark Geragos said Nate Dogg, whose real name was Nathaniel D. Hale, died Tuesday of complications from multiple strokes.Nate Dogg wasn't a rapper, but he was an integral figure in the genre: His deep voice wasn't particularly melodic, but it's tone — at times menacing, at times playful, yet always charming — provided just the just the right touch on hits including Warren G's "Regulate," 50 Cent's "21 Questions," Dr. Dre's "The Next Episode" and countless others.While Nate Dogg provided hooks for rappers from coast to coast, the Long Beach, Calif., native is best known for his contributions to the West Coast soundtrack provided by the likes of Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, the Dogg Pound and more. Nate Dogg was even part of a "supergroup" featuring Snoop Dogg and Warren G, called 213.Nate Dogg also put out his own solo projects but was best known for his collaborations with others.He had suffered strokes in recent years. (Source) Associated Press Our Editorial: For those who listened to Nate Dogg, Snoop, Easy E, Warren G, Dr. Dre and other; their music was super smooth for cruising the park or the strip in your city. Bumping your system with the sounds of those artist that feature Nate Dogg. We chilled, probably smoked a tree and downed a forty listen to Nate Dogg and the Dogg Pound. I would like to encourage all men of color to take care of yourselves. Eat healthy, have regular examinations and stop smoking. We only get one life, treasury it and treasury the time you have here on earth. Our condolences go out to Nate's family and loyal fans. RIP Nate Dogg |
