“Body No Be Firewood” ask any African you ever meet what that slogan means.

The best ability is essentially availability.

Women have a child in February of 2026, take the time to heal & recuperate, red carpets events can wait a year or 15months.

Heal before you Deal, Ladies 🫶🏽, too many hurt people are going around hurting other people because they are bleeding internally, emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually & obviously psychologically.

OpenAl’s No. 2 Executive to Step Down in Latest Leadership Shake-up.

These folks have accomplished so much, why accrue more stress, so many countries yall ain’t seen , so many things yall ain’t done yet, especially if you didn’t found the company (Sarah Friar, Ashely Yuki, Asha Sharma, Ami Vora) lives a better lifestyle than yall & he has 1tenth of the resources you women have.

Let some new dawgs in the building. How many more mountains are there to climb 🧗Ladies, these women have led companies to initial public offerings already once, they have led major technological innovations & created category defining technologies already (when are y’all going to enjoy & smell the roses) 🌹.

Kevo didn’t even shout out when she passed a couple of months ago, after all that tricking Kevo did she can’t even get a “Rest In Peace” salute 🫡.

When i & my brother took a vacation to Saint Tropez & Monaco, he was glad to finally have a break.

He told me : The work is always going to be there, why not enjoy, & get right back to it 🤔.

Kobe Bryant lost his life trying to prove to his wife he’s a changed man & a great girl dad.

Kobe died in his act & she’s been secretly grieving on GM p***s & CEO p***s since 2020, because single mothers have a lot of love to give to married men 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽.

I coach high level youth basketball, it’s not life & death, but Kobe did it because of Giana.

If it was other people’s kids, he wouldn’t charter a helicopter 🚁to a youth level tournament, when these players start getting texts from players they ignore

Keep streaming my song “Happy Birthday”, performed, mixed, mastered, & produced by yours truly 🫶🏽.

It’s always somebody’s birthday somewhere around the world 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽.

We booked BIG WIZ🦅 in 2017.

GREEN SANDS EQUITY is proud to invest in Venus’s $91M Series B, along with Mercury Fund, & Lockheed Martin Ventures to move their hypersonic engine from flight demonstration to deployed propulsion systems.

In May 2025, Venus Aerospace flew the world’s first high-thrust rotating detonation rocket engine.

They reached that milestone in just over four years, on $80 million in capital, 1 of the most capital-efficient engine development programs in the industry’s history.

Why this matters: Venus’s RDRE is the most efficient rocket engine architecture ever flown. That translates directly into range, payload flexibility, & mission capability at a moment when the U.S. & its allies urgently need systems that reach farther & fly faster than legacy platforms allow.

The engine is reusable, throttleable, built from 3D-printed components standard materials, & designed from start for domestic manufacturing at scale.

Detonation propulsion sat in academic literature for seventy years because nobody could make the engineering work.
Sarah “Sassie” Duggleby, Andrew Duggleby, & the Venus team took it from equations to a vehicle in flight, in Houston, on a fraction of the capital legacy programs consume!

After completing the world’s first successful
flight test of a high-thrust rotating detonation
rocket engine (RDRE) in May 2025, Venus
Aerospace today announced the close of a $91
million Series B financing led by Mercury Fund, a
Houston-based venture capital firm, with
participation from Lockheed Martin Ventures,
MESH, PEAK6, Draper Associates, Starboard Star
Venture Capital, GREN SANDS EQUITY, Seraph
Group, Trousdale Ventures, & other new &
existing strategic & institutional investors.

The round will fund Venus as it scales
development & production, moving its RDRE
propulsion system from successful flight
demonstration toward deployment for a range of
near-term defense & space applications.

Congratulations to the entire team. Onward.

Tems spurned African shows & events when she got big.

She didn’t expect the song “Essence” & “Essence” Remix to catapult her to mainstream stardom.

It was during the pandemic, & stay at home was in place by the government, & had just released “Made In Lagos”.

Nigerian show promoters can’t book anymore Tems anymore, & the last time somebody in Africa tried to book her for a show in Tanzania, Africa - , her manager Muyiwa Awoniyi, & , & all ended in jail for being tardy to a show they had already received down payment 🤷🏽‍♂️.

They treat their own people like dirt, but when a western promoter books them for a show, award or gig, they are always punctual to the venues, do they autograph signings, take picture with fans, hug people & kiss 💋 babies.

They downplay the same people who platformed them.

Diaspora people, artists, creatives need to go back home & build a fan base with people in their own home country, & hometowns.

does shows in South Africa 🇿🇦, till today, but we cant even get Tems to do opening ceremonies for awards shows in any country on the continent, they feel they are bigger than the continent.

If never lost his voice he would’ve been bigger than all these people, ’s biggest hit song came from his pen & it’s a throwaway song for .

That’s the main reason why is bigger than all of them all, it’s because he shows up for his shows, gigs & performances on time, like a professional musician.

We saw Damini at , now he’s doing in back to back albums (Love Damini, No Sign Of Weakness).

We booked , in 2018 , he didn’t show up, he picked a Las Vegas, NV show instead because he believed he was too big to be playing at , so we booked instead to cover the date.

since then hasn’t toured his last 2 albums (More Love, Less Ego & Morayo).

Damini started at , all that time could’ve been building a fan base at smaller venues, he dissed them, now he’s a festival show artist.

Hoy, Green Sands Equity se enorgullece de invertir en la ronda de financiación Serie B de 91 millones de dólares de Venus —junto con Mercury Fund y Lockheed Martin Ventures— para llevar este motor desde la fase de demostración de vuelo hasta sistemas de propulsión operativos.

En mayo de 2025, Venus Aerospace realizó el vuelo del primer motor cohete de detonación rotativa de alto empuje del mundo. Alcanzaron este hito en poco más de cuatro años y con una inversión de 80 millones de dólares, lo que lo convierte en uno de los programas de desarrollo de motores más eficientes en cuanto a capital en la historia de la industria.

Por qué esto es importante: el motor de detonación rotativa (RDRE) de Venus es la arquitectura de motor cohete más eficiente que jamás haya volado. Esto se traduce directamente en mayor alcance, flexibilidad de carga útil y capacidad de misión, en un momento en que Estados Unidos y sus aliados necesitan urgentemente sistemas que lleguen más lejos y vuelen más rápido de lo que permiten las plataformas convencionales. El motor es reutilizable, permite regular el empuje, está fabricado con componentes impresos en 3D a partir de materiales estándar y fue diseñado desde el principio para su fabricación nacional a gran escala.

La propulsión por detonación permaneció confinada a la literatura académica durante setenta años porque nadie lograba resolver los desafíos de ingeniería que conllevaba.
Sarah «Sassie» Duggleby, Andrew Duggleby y el equipo de Venus lograron pasar de las ecuaciones a un vehículo en vuelo —en Houston— utilizando solo una fracción del capital que consumen los programas tradicionales.

Felicitaciones a todo el equipo. Sigamos adelante.

Launching Satellites 👇🏽

How many satellites am I launching in year one, year 2 , year 3, year 4 ?

What’s the budget ? What’s the development cycle ?

If am developing an application, what key features I am developing?

How many navy special intelligence teams are using drones for targeted areas ? Grow to multiple units, pursuing the same treat groups.

With network effects, & many geographic areas.

Happy birthday to my Beautiful Queen Elizabeth Mother.

Another ownership group has entered the mix for the Las Vegas NBA expansion team!

The “Las Vegas Jacks” are submitting an $8 Billion bid for the Las Vegas NBA expansion team.

The group is loaded with a mix of NBA royalty and a combined 85+ years of NBA experience, lead by Jerry Colangelo, Vinny Del Negro, Jay Williams, and media powerhouse David Levy.

The bid is backed by U.S. Bank, BTIG, and Global Leisure Partners, positioning them with a total asset goal of $12.5B to
$13B.

The plan is to launch the team at T-Mobile Arena while building a brand-new, world-class stadium and entertainment district for the team.

The team name wouldn’t actually be the “The Las Vegas
Jacks” with the official team name being voted on by the fans later.

I have come to the realization that parents aren’t “perfect”.

Fun fact, my mother attended Fresno State University with my father in the early eighties, and she gave birth to my Sister & Brother in Fresno, California while pursuing her undergraduate degree at Fresno State.

Four states - California, Colorado, Kentucky and New Jersey — are seeking $1.4 trillion in damages from Meta.

Teens are turning to chatbots for mental health help. We need rules to keep them safe.

Blanket bans may be tempting, but they aren’t the right fix.

While parents, schools, & lawmakers are still debating the impact of social media on children’s mental health, a new technology has taken the therapist’s seat: AI chatbots.

In research that my colleagues & I published recently in JAMA Pediatrics, we found that the share of young people using AI chatbots for mental health advice rose from about 1 in 8 to about 1 in 5 in a single year — more than a 40% increase.

That finding should end any illusion that this is a speculative problem. For millions of adolescents, AI is already part of the mental health landscape.

Despite the appeal, when millions of young people are relying on chatbots for mental health guidance, even rare failures can have devastating consequences. Multiple lawsuits have alleged that AI chatbots contributed to teen suicides.

In April, Florida’s attorney general opened a criminal investigation into the alleged perpetrator’s interactions with ChatGPT before the 2025 mass shooting at Florida State University.

After a school shooting in British Columbia, OpenAI publicly apologized for not alerting police about a banned account linked to the attacker.

Sorting out responsibility through case law is a reactive strategy, & it risks repeating the mistake we made with social media. For years, product adoption raced ahead while Congress debated causation.

Litigation is slow & necessarily built on harms that have already occurred. With AI chatbots, the question is not simply what rules to write. It is whether those rules can be tested, audited, & enforced before the damage is done.

That starts with defining the problem more precisely. “Mental health conversations” with chatbots are not alike.

Meta says U.S. state attorneys general are seeking ia $1.4 trillion payout in lawsuits over accusations that the company designed Facebook & Instagram to hook young users, fueling a mental health crisis.

I am stepping into the Arena for BlastFest 2026 like this my people on July 18th, 2026 in Seattle, Washington.

They used to call me & my African regalia b***y scratchers, but na dem be Saucy Santana, now my swag has brought me & my people BILLIONS.

How are you Afro Nation, but your events are outside of all the AfroNations, they tried Lagos in Dec 2025, nobody could afford the tickets 🤷🏽‍♂️.

Speaking of people biting more than they could chew, it’s also these Liberian guys from Sacramento, CA who did Lost In Riddim.

It was a great 1st event, & they had a great line up with Burna Boy, , & BIG WIZ🦅.

All my friends who aren’t even African attended the 1st Lost In Riddim, they booked hotels & stayed for over 2days in Sacramento, CA.

The next year the founders tried to move the venue to San Jose, CA without securing the proper venue permits, & picked a residential area.

My friend Landon Summers told me they should’ve left the event in Sacramento, CA because once you start coming to the Bay Area, CA all the geopolitical implications.

What it took to book , Burna Boy, BIG WIZ🦅, SUPERSTARBOY are not in the ball park of starting negotiations with their respective teams in year 2.

African music can’t afford to have 1hit wonders without a full body of work, because once the tier 1 people jack up their prices becauses their calendars are filled up with other gigs, we need tier 2 artists to fill in the void immediately.

I was part of the planning committee for Lost In Riddim, because of the founders success with Sol Blume with Kehlani.

Now it’s in Seattle, Washington that’s how things move fast.

When an event doesn’t occur as planned & you’re a popular DJ it reflects poorly on you, & I have known Jeff Enebly for over 20+ years now (Flygerian Jeff).

I asked Jeff why don’t you have your own original music out yet?

Why don’t you produce music ? Jeff has played more gigs than John Summit.

They think you are competing with them when you give them free advice.

Key Nvidia product reportedly delayed by over a year.

Jensen Huang’s net worth is approximately $160 billion to $186 billion, according to mid-2026 estimates from financial tracking indices.

The vast majority of his wealth comes from his roughly 3.3% individual and family trust stake in Nvidia, the semiconductor giant he co-founded in 1993.

His net worth places him among the top ten wealthiest individuals globally. The specific estimates vary slightly based on real-time fluctuations in Nvidia’s stock price.

Bloomberg Billionaires Index: $162 billion

Forbes: $168.6 billion

Fortune: ~ $186 billion

Huang also earns a significant compensation package as CEO. For the 2025 fiscal year, his total compensation reached $49.8 million, which included a base salary of $1.5 million, $38.8 million in stock awards, & cash bonuses.

Andreessen Horowitz is 17years old today.

Hanging with some Andreessen Horowitz partners, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, NVIDIA VP Howard Wright & other distinguished members of the company.

Nvidia has delayed the release of a crucial and highly anticipated product by more than a year, CNBC reports, citing research outfit SemiAnalysis.

The Kyber rack architecture, originally set for a 2027 release, now won’t be ready until 2028 thanks to manufacturing challenges linked to the system’s central circuit board, SemiAnalysis says.

Kyber will unite 144 of Nvidia’s Rubin Ultra chips “so they can work together as one giant computer” & power cutting-edge Al models.

The delay could give Nvidia’s rivals, particularly Google & Advanced Micro Devices, a competitive opening.

TSMC, Nvidia’s primary chip foundry, can’t scale the advanced packaging and cooling technologies fast enough.

The Kyber rack was designed to push power density to new extremes — those breakthroughs simply aren’t ready at production scale.

☁️ Major cloud customers — AWS, Microsoft Azure, & Google Cloud — are now hedging their bets. Some are already exploring alternatives from AMD & other emerging players.

Even the most dominant players can’t defy manufacturing physics indefinitely.
