Every government office from the Department of Social Services to the Health Department, Fire Stations and Hospitals – have a safe haven sticker located on the outside of it’s establishment, making it accessible to a mother whom may want to give up her child, while this is a great initiative; it also exposes the identity of a mother whom may not want to be identified and/or criticized for giving up her bundle of Joy. The safe haven boxes however provides anonymity to this fact, leaving the mother unidentifiable as she wishes to remain. As with everything, these boxes do cost a pretty penny – According to nbcnews  prices range from around $1500-$2000 a box; Indiana’s Knights of Columbus Organization picked up the bill offering to pay for the first 100 baby drop box installations.

Monica Kelsey’s hope is that the boxes would save any baby that a mother is contemplating about abandoning.

If you know someone that may be thinking about giving up a child, please lead them to www.SafeHavenLaw.com or call your local government agencies whom will be able to help them.

Last week, Lil’ Wayne shocked fans when he tweeted out that he felt he was being held captive by Cash Money Records and its’ founder/mentor of his, Brian “Baby” Williams.  His growing frustration with the only record label he has ever called home is a result of Cash Money Records not pushing the release his long-awaited Tha Carter V album. Ever since Wayne’s outburst on Twitter occurred, he had decided to remain silent on the social media platform, until last night that is.

Yesterday, Weezy tweeted out ” YM! That’s it. Nothing else.” YM, which stands for Young Money, the division of Cash Money Records that Lil’ Wayne founded. It is usually shouted out by him on tracks, before he goes onto say Cash Money as well. He obviously left the Cash Money part out on purpose, which shows a ugly spilt between him and Baby is on the horizon. It’s also coincidental that Lil’ Wayne decided to send this tweet out yesterday; the same day that “Truffle Butter,” which features all three of Young Money’s superstars (Nicki Minaj, Lil’ Wayne and Drake) on it was leaked.

Hip-Hop fans will just have to wait and see if the feud is for real. Are the longtime friends/ business partners really on the outs or it is being brewed up to help create more of a buzz surrounding various Cash Money/ Young Money  projects, such as Nicki Minaj’s third studio album (The PinkPrint) which is set to drop next week.

This video isn’t hip-hop, honestly, but Kevin Rudolf has an extensive history of working with hip-hop producers, especially Timbaland, and he’s signed to Cash Money, so he’s worth keeping track of just to predict where the YMCMB empire is headed next. Also, the song’s pretty positive, so that’s always a plus. Watch below and keep your eyes open for the Baby cameo.

Either way, the William Orbit-produced song is dope. See for yourself.
