NEWS: Beyonce Launches an On Demand Vegan Delivery Service

Beyonce Launches an On Demand Vegan Delivery Service

You too can go on the Beyonce diet.  Body like Beyonce not included     
Like her hubby Jay Z, Beyonce is making boss moves in business this week.
Beyonce partnered with her trainer, Marco Borges, to launch an on demand vegan meal delivery service, 22 Days Nutrition, named after the belief that it takes 21 days to break a bad habit.
The meals will be 100% plant based, organic, non-GMO, and soy, dairy, and gluten free.  Prices will range $9.76 per meal to $16.50 each.
Bey herself did a vegan challenge with hubby Jay Z in the winter of 2013, and she’s since made a conscious effort to adopt more plant based foods into her diet.
“All you have to do is try. If I can do it, anyone can,” she said in a press release.
Marco Borges, co-founder, said ”We all know the importance and value of eating plant-based foods but often times find ourselves trapped in a series of bad habits that sabotage optimum wellness.  The Vegan Meal Delivery program makes it easier to reset your habits with healthy and delicious plant-based foods.”
Offerings include a Southern black beans & veggies, ratatouille pasta with pesto, curried fried rice with vegetables, hearty nut granola, and an almond blueberry breakfast loaf.

NEWS: Nipsey Hussle Reportedly Sold 60 Copies Of His $1000 Mixtape, "Mailbox Money"

 Nipsey Hussle Reportedly Sold 60 Copies Of His $1000 Mixtape, "Mailbox Money"

Nipsey Hussle made $60,000 off of 60 copies of "Mailbox Money."

Nipsey Hussle, we have to hand it to you, you're a marketing genius. After the L.A. rapper announced that he'd be selling physical copies of his December mixtape Mailbox Money (which was available for free in digital form) for $1000, Hussle claims that he's sold 60 copies as of last Tuesday. 
Speaking to The Guardian, Hussle said, “It surprises me, as much as I believe in it. Every time I get a transaction, I get a text on my phone, and I’ve been hitting them back. The feedback and the connection I have with these people help me understand the psychology of the person paying $1,000 for some songs that, realistically, you could download for free.”
Smart move by Nip, who'd previously sold copies of 2013's Crenshaw for $100 each. Will his next project cost $10,000?
