Will Smith and Martin Lawrence

Since Will Smith and Martin Lawrence’s Bad Boys Ride: or Die opened with a robust $56 million, we’ve seen nearly uninterrupted franchise offerings that have performed either as well as hoped (A Quiet Place: Day One, Alien: Romulus, etc.) or even better than optimistically projected (Inside Out 2, Deadpool & Wolverine). Concurrently, Sony and Wayfarer Studios’ It Ends With Us has passed $200 million worldwide on a mere $25 million budget.

So it’s worth noting that Bad Boys 4 has passed $400 million worldwide, including $196 million ( a rousing 3.5x multiplier) in North America, on a $100 million budget. That’s not far from Bad Boys For Life ($206 million domestically and $430 million globally) in early 2020.

T. I.

ATLANTA, Ga. — Atlanta rapper T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, was mistakenly arrested at Atlanta’s airport last  Sunday night.

Channel 2?s Tom Jones spoke to the Clayton County sheriff, who said a warrant had been taken out for a man with the same name in Baltimore. That Clifford Harris was accused of beating a woman.

T.I. said he was in Los Angeles and arrived in Baltimore after the alleged incident took place. The warrant also described the suspect as as significantly larger than T.I.

The rapper insisted he was not the suspect but was arrested by a border patrol agent anyway. He was taken to the Clayton County jail.

A metro Atlanta judge dismissed the case. T.I.’s attorney, Steve Sadow, told TMZ that the rapper was released within two hours.

Nelly

Rapper Nelly was pulled over by the police in Missouri on August 8th, due to driving a vehicle without insurance. However, the arrest led to officials discovering he was also in possession of ecstasy pills at the time.

Following the arrest, the rapper, whose real name is Cornell Iral Haynes, was taken into custody, but his lawyer suggested the warrant would soon be dismissed as it occurred due to “an overzealous, out-of-line officer.”

Earlier that evening, Haynes had been at the Hollywood Casino and Hotel in the St. Louis area, where he reportedly enjoyed winning “several jackpots.” According to his lawyer, the officer who carried out the arrest “felt compelled to needlessly run a check for warrants,” which he did instead of “supervising the transfer of winnings.”
