If anybody can sell something, Diddy can.  Just ask the CEO of Ciroc.  There is no denying it.  If you are a business owner and you don't advertise with the Urban market, you are truly missing out.  At the end of the day, it's not what you listen to, rather what your costumers do.

Hip-Hop artists, their listeners and fans of the music are THE driving force behind the sells of fashion, food, cars, alcohol even water.  Look at what 50 Cent did with Vitamin Water or what Dr. Dre is doing with Beats by Dre.   Hip-Hop listeners are the ultimate consumers, make no mistake about it.

What's the big deal?  He's a fourth grader that calls himself the "coke boy".  His parents seem to have no problem with grown women bending over in their 9-year olds face.  Ironically, the child's video had a "Content Warning" label on it on Youtube.  So, that's not good.

The police, child services and now the Brockton local newspaper The Enterprise, are involved and the youngster may end up in custody before it's all said and done. Get the latest developments on the case and listen to what Lil Poopy's lawyer has to say about charges of child abuse/neglect.  It's all below inside Tha Wire.
