42-Year-Old MMA Star Kimbo Slice Dies From Fatal Heart Attack In Florida

Kimbo Slice

 

MMA star, Kimbo Slice, real name Kevin Ferguson, died last night in Coconut Creek, Florida, a city on the outskirts of Miami. Slice was hospitalized at the Northwest Medical Center, after feeling unwell and died shortly after. Reports indicate the popular MMA star had a fatal heart attack. The hospital has not released the suspected underlying cause of Slice's fatal heart attack. No official statement has been released by the medical examiner on the exact cause of Slice's early passing. An autopsy and toxicology report is expected in coming weeks.

Some on social networking are openly speculating steroids use lead to Slice's cardiac arrest, as he tested positive for the anabolic steroid Nandrolone in February, after a win against Dhaffir Harris. A number of wrestlers have died early in life from steroids use (for more information on the dangers of steroids please read: Boxer Alexander Povetkin Testing Positive For Steroids Causes Cancellation Of Deontay Wilder Fight And Possible Lawsuits). "Hollywood Illuminati" rumors are online regarding Slice's death, as he was friends with fellow Floridian, The Rock, real name Dwayne Johnson and appeared in the film series he made popular "The Scorpion King 3."

Slice is a former high school football player. He attended the University of Miami (as did The Rock). In 1997, Slice had a tryout with the Miami Dolphins, but did not make the team. Slice then became a heavyweight boxer and mixed martial artist, rising to fame in 2007. He became an online sensation, due to videos he released of himself on You Tube, fighting others in his backyard.

The videos attracted the attention of the EliteXC and then UFC, who signed him to successive deals. In 2007, Rolling Stone magazine proclaimed Slice "the king of the web brawlers" in reference to the popularity of his viral videos. Slice was scheduled to fight in London, England on July 16, 2016, as apart of a Bellator MMA show. He leaves behind a fiancée and six children.

People need to be careful in their pursuit of fame and fortune. Hollywood is full of vipers, who would have you sell your soul to the devil in exchange for fame and money, asking you to do things that damage your body, mind and soul. However, said fame and fortune is short lived and comes at a massive personal and professional price.

Leave that lifestyle alone, lest it destroys you. Take care of your health, body, mind and soul. You can make it without compromising yourself. There are no shortcuts to fame and fortune. The shortcuts are dead ends, with emphasis on the word dead. I've seen it happen to many people in music and sports.

I've seen many quickly rise under the wrong circumstances, then catastrophically fall overnight, sustaining extensive, life changing damage, from having the wrong people around them, who claimed they were so-called friends and business associates, but proved to be their undoing and downfall.

American Idol Tour Goes Bust

The American Idol tour, which takes karaoke contestants from the show on a series of concerts, is imploding, as ticket sales have been very poor, forcing the cancellation of several dates.

The show's ratings have plummeted as well, with accompanying record sales in the toilet. The phony show, produced and promoted by, Simon Fuller and Simon Cowell, has hit the skids. Reach for the stars (sarcasm).

"American Idol" Joins List of Shortened Summer Tours

Post a Comment July 7, 2010 - LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The "American Idol" U.S. tour was cut short by two weeks on Wednesday, less than a week after it kicked off, joining artists ranging from the Jonas Brothers to the Eagles who have pulled out of summer dates.

Eight scheduled shows by the Top 10 "Idol" finalists, including winner Lee DeWyze and runner-up Crystal Bowersox , were dropped and others dates re-scheduled, according to concert promoters Live Nation.

The tour, which started on July 1, will now end on August 31 instead of September 16. "American Idol" publicists declined to comment on the reasons.

The move follows what was considered a lackluster season of the Fox television singing contest, which lost about nine percent of its audience this year. So far only DeWyze and Bowersox have signed record deals...

There Are Too Many Television Talent Shows

"American Idol" (Simon Cowell center)

Aren't you sick of television talent shows. I know I am. There are so many of them and Simon Cowell is behind several programs in that genre, including his forthcoming, idiotic "X-Factor." It's pathetic. The idea for "American Idol" and its subsequent spin-offs, was stolen from a man in Texas. Then Cowell and co. slapped it together with songs and other items from my Copyrighted Catalog.

The man is a complete loser and thief, so are those that help him rip people off. He goes around, parading like he is some captain of industry, when he is a total fraud and leech. Cowell and co. have no talent and what they are calling talent in others is not.

Simon Cowell's "America's Got Talent"

All they've done is turn soulful, preexisting copyrighted music into soulless karaoke garbage, while encouraging people to call into a stupid show, "American Idol" as people die from AIDS and cancer, due to him having stolen copyrights that a portion of their proceeds were meant to go towards produce cures to the aforementioned diseases.

I've never seen anything so vile, depraved, selfish and appalling. You've put substandard entertainment ahead of people's health and lives. God have mercy on your souls.

Usher Sued Twice For Being A Thief

Usher

Sony singer Usher, has been sued in two unrelated lawsuits for copyright infringement. In one of the cases, there is a claim of criminal liability. I'm not surprised.

In the case, Ernest Lee Straughter et al v. Usher Raymond et al, the singer stands accused of stealing the song "Burn" that was a massive hit for him a few years ago. Technically, it is the biggest hit of his career.

Other copyright thefts mentioned in the case are the songs "Got Me Waiting" and "How To Deal." Sony and its artists Ciara and Fantasia have also been sued in the legal action. The serial criminal copyright infringers, 19 Entertainment (Simon Cowell and Simon Fuller) have also been sued in the case.

The case has the appearance of Sony's usual misconduct of passing around illegally made copies of other people's copyrights, in criminal violation of the law.

Keep it up and the U.S. government in going to raid Sony's headquarters in New York (you know, like the Mexican government had to do for your felonious refusal to desist criminally breaking copyright law).

Side Bar: one word to Sony C.E.O. Howard Stringer - pomade. There is no excuse for that hairdo. Notice Raj Rajaratnam had his do slicked back for his perp walk. The public does not want to see you coming out of the Sony building looking like you just got electrocuted.

Usher has also been sued for copyright infringement, in the case Rashonda D. Gooch v. Usher Raymond et al: http://dockets.justia.com/docket

I have to concur, from experience, Usher is a copyright thief, as is mentioned in this case. His label Sony is the most thieving record company in existence.

The aforementioned Usher cases are being defended by Robert Jacobs of the Mannatt law firm. The Feds should be looking very thoroughly into Sony's lawyer, Robert Jacobs, as his conduct with certain judges would fill quite a few FBI files. He is discrediting the U.S. Judiciary all over the world.
