Let this be your reminder to be nice to the only server during an overnight shift next time you go eat at a restaurant late at night. This iHop server posts a seven minute video disheveled after a rude customer almost gets them fired.

“These customers literally have my foot tingling. I swear if you’re considering being a server, don’t. Literally, don’t,” says TikTok user Aaliyah (@liyah_nashelle). 

Aliyah explains that they were working the overnight shift at iHop. They were the only server for the night and had to do several tasks including seating people, taking orders, running the food and bussing tables.

iHop Server Details Customer Encounter

A customer walks into iHop and according to Aliyah is waiting about three minutes when they start losing their patience. The customer then walks into the restaurant to a table without being escorted by an employee. This is when things escalated.

Aliyah walks over to the customer and asks them, “How can I help you?” The wife allegedly responds, “I need a table,” and slams the menus they have in their hands into Aliyah’s arm, practically throwing them at Aliyah. 

“First of all, who are you throwing a menu at? Because now you’re getting mad disrespectful because you had to wait three minutes to be sat?” Aliyah says. 

Aliyah then explains to the customer that they are the only server on staff and that as a result it’s going to be a slower process. However, the customer is not satisfied and continues to speak disrespectfully to Aliyah. Aliyah shares that they can not serve them with this attitude. The customer then goes to speak with a manager and to speak with her husband about what happened.

“I don’t know what the [expletive] she told her husband but I know for a fact she switched that [expletive] story up real [expletive] quickly bro and she’s so lucky I didn’t record,” Aliyah.

Aliyah’s video has 164,400 views and almost 40,000 likes.

Other iHop Crashouts

There must be something about the pancakes that makes people go nuts at iHop. TikTok is filled with videos of employees crying because of rude customers and management.

This video for example shows a server crying as they are speaking to customers at a table. Apparently, a customer had sent her plate back four times. Luckily, a nearby customer stood up for the waitress and told the customer to not be so insufferable.

Another video shows iHop waitress, Diana, crying in their car about a manager slashing their hours without a clear reason.

While compensation is important, other factors like management support, work-life balance and a restaurant’s culture and values also impact the quality of working for a restaurant chain according to an AL news article about restaurant chains with the happiest employees. iHop is not a company on that list.

Viewers React to the iHop Customer Story

Viewers in the comments of Aliyah’s video can relate to the stress and frustration of servers dealing with rude customers.

“I bought some Metaglasses just for problematic customers. I show my manager the footage. You wouldn’t believe how many clients lie on you,” says one comment.

“I don’t know what’s in the air customers have been evil, got me feeling like I’m going to stroke out or have a heart attack,” says another.

“Just remember the customers don’t sign your checks, and they ARE NOT always right,” someone else says.

Aliyah ends the video with explaining that they are probably going to get fired since the complaint was escalated to corporate.

If you’re “lucky” enough, ‘The Conjuring: Last Rites’ might transport you straight into the film’s misery. This Texas man was just a few minutes into the movie when he allegedly had to exit the theater after getting some unbelievable news about his car.

‘The Conjuring: Last Rites’ follows the journey of Lorraine and Ed Warren, two paranormal investigators, on a case of a haunted house with a demonic infestation in Pennsylvania. The film is the last in the saga of Warren’s paranormal investigation journeys. 

Unfortunately, it seems that the films haunted energy might have caught on to some of it’s viewers, or so people think.

‘The Conjuring’ And A Dodge Fire

“Took my girl to see ‘The Conjuring’ tonight,” says @itsjustsolo, “Twenty minutes in and apparently my car is on fire.”

The video shows a car in the parking lot with its outer facade melted and burned away. The car’s hood is almost completely gone exposing how it’s internal parts are also disintegrated. Unfortunately, the back of the car also got the fire’s raft and almost completely melted off.

Despite their car’s tragic death, @itsjustsolo says the part of the movie they say was “10/0” but to “just make sure you have insurance” if you’re going to go watch the film. The video has over 5,500,000 views and over 772,000 likes.

‘The Conjuring’ And Supernatural Events

@itsjustsolo is actually not solo when it comes to these kinds of supernatural events with the franchise. The actress who plays Lorraine, Vera Farmiga, notes strange things that happen to her every time she films. In an interview with E News, she says that she always gets weird bruises when she films. One time, her bruise was even shaped like a cross.

“That happens every time we do it. It’s just these inexplicable bruising shapes that occur on my body and that’s just it, it is what it is,” explains Farmiga.

Some folks are making sure car burning an bruising don’t happen to them after the movie by taking certain precautions. For example, this Texas theater had a bishop protecting moviegoers with holy water before the film.

Viewers React to the ‘Conjuring’ Story

People in @itsjustsolo’s video comments are just glad it’s not them whose car got burned allegedly by evil spirits.

“God protect me from this negative energy,” says one comment that has over 20,000 likes.

“Someone out there is doing this to give publicity to ‘Conjuring’ movie,” jokes another viewer.

While @itsjustsolo posted other videos further showing the vehicle’s damage, they have not shared any other information about what caused the car to go on fire.

Yung Miami called out Tyla on social media after the South African pop star previewed her upcoming track “Chanel,” claiming the song was lifted from a private session where she had played it for her.

The former City Girls rapper took to X (Twitter) on Thursday (October 16), posting: “This girl really ran off with my song and ion know how to feel about it mind you I played this song for this girl.”

She followed up with, “Like…. B#### I’m confused!” and added, “Take me to Chanel > put me in Chanel.”

Tyla’s teaser for “Chanel,” which drops October 24, quickly went viral, with clips of her dancing to the track circulating across platforms. But Yung Miami insists the concept wasn’t new to Tyla.

When a user commented, “Miami that song took you forever to drop,” she fired back: “Don’t matter it’s my mf song!!!” and emphasized again, “I played her the song!”

She ended her post with a promise to revisit the matter, writing, “It’s my daughter birthday I’ll be back tomorrow with the tea!”

Tyla, who won a Grammy earlier this year for her breakout hit “Water,” has not responded to the accusation as of Friday morning (October 17).

Her silence hasn’t stopped the internet from weighing in.

Yung Miami is accusing Tyla of stealing her song all because both have the word Chanel in it she claims she played this song for tyla before. Do you hear a resemblance? I don’t… pic.twitter.com/bf6lbcIsur

One user wrote, “tyla single needed more promo for next week thank you miami.”

Another dismissed the claims entirely, saying, “Young Miami is just using Tyla’s name to promote her song, cos nobody would’ve cared about it. People still don’t care about it btw.”

A third user posted a screenshot comparing Spotify monthly listeners, showing Tyla with over 29 million and Yung Miami with fewer than 150,000, captioning it: “Yung Miami can’t be serious when she got on this here internet and said Tyla stole from her…”

NBA YoungBoy faced another concert cancellation Thursday when State Farm Arena announced his Saturday Atlanta performance would not proceed as scheduled.

The Baton Rouge rapper had successfully completed the first of two sold-out shows Wednesday night before officials made the decision to cancel the October 18 date. State Farm Arena provided no explanation for the abrupt cancellation in their Thursday announcement.

“If you purchased through Ticketmaster, refunds will be issued automatically,” the statement read. “If you purchased from a third-party reseller, please reach out to your point of purchase.”

This marks the second major venue cancellation for the 25-year-old artist’s “Make America Slime Again” tour. The United Center in Chicago made a similar decision in September, canceling his scheduled performance without a detailed explanation.

YoungBoy remains one of YouTube’s most-streamed artists despite ongoing controversies. The chart-topping rapper has released eight studio albums and dozens of mixtapes throughout his career.

In 2024, YoungBoy was sentenced to federal prison on a firearm charge but was later pardoned by President Donald Trump. His legal troubles have included multiple arrests since 2016, creating complications for his touring schedule.

During Wednesday’s Atlanta performance, music executive Jerry Clark presented the rapper with proclamations from Georgia State Representative Inga Willis, Fulton County Probate Judge Kenya Johnson and Fulton County Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr.

The honors recognized his commitment to promoting peace and avoiding gun violence in his music.

Following the concert, rumors circulated online that YoungBoy had received a key to the city of Atlanta. However, the city’s Mayor’s Office of Film, Entertainment & Nightlife quickly denied that claim.

“While we respect all individuals and agencies who choose to recognize cultural or community impact, the City of Atlanta and the Mayor’s Office of Film, Entertainment, and Nightlife were not involved in this presentation,” the office said in a statement. “This recognition was made by representatives of Fulton County and the State of Georgia.”

The office added that the city has not issued a “key to the city” in “a very, very long time” and does not currently give out that commendation.

About a dozen tour dates remain in the “Make America Slime Again” Tour, including two back-to-back shows in New Orleans on October 19 and 20. The tour is set to wrap up on November 12 at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle.

Rapper Cisco Go Crazy was sentenced to six months in jail and one year of community custody in Lewis County Superior Court after pleading guilty to third-degree rape stemming from a 2020 party in Randle, Washington.

The 24-year-old rapper, whose legal name is Francisco Prater, received the punishment from Judge Joely Yeager on Wednesday (October 15). The sentence follows a plea deal that reduced his original charge of second-degree rape, filed in April 2021, to a lesser offense.

According to The Daily Chronicle, the incident occurred on January 6, 2020, when Prater allegedly had sex with a woman who was too intoxicated to consent.

Prosecutors recommended the six-month term and 12 months of community custody as part of the agreement.

Prater, who is from Edmonds, was taken into custody immediately after sentencing. He did not provide a statement in court. Instead, he allowed the judge to rely on police reports and the probable cause statement to support the plea.

Judge Yeager also issued a five-year no-contact order protecting the victim, following the state’s recommendation.

Court records show the standard sentencing range for third-degree rape, a Class C felony, is six to 12 months. The charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Two other men were initially charged in connection with the same incident — Lil Mosey (real name Lathan Moses Echols) and Bandkidjay (real name Joshua Darrow).

Their cases were separated from Prater’s in early 2023. Both were acquitted by a Lewis County jury in March after roughly seven hours of deliberation.

A brawl broke out among fans during Chris Brown’s Breezy Bowl XX concert at the Superdome Wednesday night (October 15). The incident forced security to escort multiple people from the venue.

Video footage shows the moment tensions exploded in the stands. Two women, one wearing blue and another in black, began arguing while a third woman tried to calm them down.

The situation escalated quickly when a fourth woman approached the group. She spoke briefly with the woman in black, then suddenly punched the woman in blue.

“What started as a small argument quickly became a full-on brawl, with several others joining in,” according to the Hot97 report.

The woman in blue tried to defend herself but couldn’t move freely. Someone seated behind her grabbed her arm. The woman in black took advantage and began hitting her opponent with a purse.

More people joined the fight as spectators watched in shock. The crowd shouted and threw punches in the stadium stands. The woman who first tried to separate them eventually cleared the area and helped end the fight.

Security and police arrived shortly after. Authorities escorted everyone involved out of the venue. The cause of the original argument remains unclear.

Brown continued performing throughout the incident. Fans described it as one of the wildest scenes of the night at what was supposed to be a celebration.

The Breezy Bowl XX Stadium World Tour has faced several challenges recently. Traffic problems in Raleigh delayed fans from entering Tuesday’s show. The Memphis concert was canceled due to stadium renovations.

Brown’s tour has otherwise been successful, with sold-out shows in Birmingham and Washington, D.C. The R&B star has been touring extensively to promote his latest music.

Concert violence has become an increasing concern at large venues. Security protocols often struggle to manage crowds during high-energy performances.

The New Orleans Police Department has not released information about potential charges. Representatives for Brown and the Superdome did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The tour continues with upcoming dates across the country. Fans are encouraged to report any safety concerns to venue security immediately.

Grammy Award-winning rapper Lil Nas X was spotted in Santa Monica this week, marking his first public appearance since completing inpatient mental health treatment. The 26-year-old artist looked

The “Old Town Road” hitmaker was photographed running errands in Los Angeles. He wore casual denim and western-style boots. His appearance suggests positive progress following a challenging period.

The sighting comes months after a serious incident in August. On August 21, police responded to reports in the San Fernando Valley. They encountered Lil Nas X during circumstances that escalated quickly. The situation led to his arrest and hospitalization.

Law enforcement suspected substance involvement initially. They transported him to a medical facility for evaluation. He was later transferred into custody. The incident resulted in serious charges against the artist.

Prosecutors filed three counts of battery with injury on a peace officer. They also charged him with one count of resisting an executive officer. These are felony charges that carry significant penalties.

Rather than remaining in jail, Lil Nas X pursued treatment. He entered an inpatient mental health facility outside California. His lawyers confirmed this during a court hearing in September. The artist missed his initial court date due to treatment.

His father, Robert Stafford, spoke publicly about the situation. He discussed the pressures of fame affecting his son’s wellbeing. Stafford expressed family concern about managing psychological demands. The entertainment industry creates intense pressure for public figures.

The Rolling Out report shows the artist engaging in normal activities. He spent time in a local park before leaving in a vehicle. His well-groomed appearance indicates successful treatment progress.

Recovery from mental health crises requires structured care. Inpatient treatment typically precedes outpatient support. Lil Nas X appears to have progressed through initial intensive phases. He now navigates daily life while maintaining professional support.

Legal proceedings continue despite his recovery efforts. A court date is scheduled for November 18. The criminal charges remain unresolved. Managing both health recovery and legal obligations creates complex challenges.

The artist has received public support throughout this period. His visible recovery communicates important messages about treatment effectiveness. It demonstrates the possibility of recovery from mental health crises.

For public figures experiencing such challenges, visible improvement carries significance. It shows that addressing mental health seriously produces positive results. Treatment should not be dismissed or minimized.

Lil Nas X’s appearance suggests commitment to recovery. While court proceedings remain pending, his wellbeing represents positive indicators. The recovery journey will likely require ongoing attention and professional support.

Emmanuel Jal’s extraordinary transformation from child soldier to international Hip-Hop sensation takes center stage in a powerful documentary that premiered on YouTube.

Journeyman Pictures released “From Civil War to Hip-Hop Star | War Child: Emmanuel Jal | Full Film” showcasing the South Sudanese-Canadian artist’s incredible odyssey from the battlefields of Sudan’s brutal civil war to MTV stages worldwide.

The award-winning documentary chronicles Jal’s journey through rare archival footage of him as a seven-year-old soldier to contemporary performances of his pain-tinged rhymes.

Born Jal Jok on January 1, 1980, Emmanuel was forced into military service during Sudan’s devastating civil war in the early 1980s. The conflict, which lasted over two decades, displaced millions and recruited thousands of children as soldiers.

Jal’s childhood was marked by forced migration and unimaginable wartime trauma before his eventual rescue by a British aid worker.

The documentary captures Jal’s evolution into what many consider one of the 21st century’s most inspiring success stories. After escaping Sudan, he made his way to Kenya where he began developing his musical talents.

His Hip-Hop career launched him onto international stages, earning acclaim as both an artist and activist who raises awareness about conflict’s human costs.

Jal has released multiple albums and performed globally, using his platform to advocate for peace in his war-torn homeland. His music blends traditional African sounds with contemporary Hip-Hop beats, creating a distinctive style that reflects his unique life experiences.

The artist has received international recognition for his work, including performances at major festivals and collaborations with renowned musicians.

The documentary features interviews, archival footage, and performance clips that illustrate Jal’s remarkable resilience. His story represents hope for countless other child soldiers and war survivors across Africa and beyond.

Through his music and activism, Jal continues working to break cycles of violence while inspiring others who have faced similar circumstances.

Jal currently splits his time between advocacy work and his music career, maintaining his commitment to peace-building initiatives in South Sudan. His autobiography and speaking engagements have reached audiences worldwide, sharing his message of redemption and transformation.

The full-length documentary is now available for viewing on Journeyman Pictures’ YouTube channel, offering viewers an intimate look at one man’s journey from darkness to international stardom.

Missy Elliott made her triumphant return to Portsmouth Friday as Virginia officially celebrated the first-ever “Missy Elliott Day” in honor of the Hip-Hop legend’s contributions to music and entertainment.

Governor Glenn Youngkin declared October 17 as Missy Elliott Day through an official proclamation highlighting “her legacy as one of the most influential figures in contemporary music and entertainment.”

The celebration marks three years since Portsmouth renamed McLean Street to Missy Elliott Boulevard in 2022.

The four-time Grammy Award winner was born in Portsmouth and raised in the Hodges Ferry community before becoming one of Hip-Hop’s most innovative artists.

Elliott’s career spans over two decades with groundbreaking hits like “Work It,” “Get Ur Freak On” and “Lose Control” that revolutionized the genre with their creative production and memorable music videos.

Elliott has sold over 40 million records worldwide and became the first female rapper to receive the MTV Video Music Awards’ Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award in 2019. She also earned an honorary Doctor of Music degree from Berklee College of Music and received the National Medal of Arts from the National Endowment for the Arts.

The Portsmouth native previously donated $25,000 to her former high school and has maintained strong ties to her hometown throughout her career. Her overall discography includes five studio albums and numerous collaborations with artists like Aaliyah, Janet Jackson and Ciara.

Elliott’s influence extends beyond music as a producer and songwriter who helped shape the sound of contemporary R&B and Hip-Hop. The celebration on Friday represents the city’s continued recognition of one of its most successful exports.

Ice-T has joined forces with Hip-Hop titans Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Arabian Prince to executive produce Tehk City, a gritty animated neo-noir series set in a brutal near-future penal colony.

The collaboration marks a rare convergence of rap royalty for the small screen, with the quartet partnering alongside producer Ambitious Entertainment for what’s being described as a “high-octane animated neo-noir” where “every choice is life or death, chaos reigns and only the ruthless survive.”

According to Deadline, the series stems from aesthetics created by Tommy The Animator, who serves as co-creator with Ice-T. Both are attached as producers and executive producers alongside the legendary trio of West Coast rap pioneers. Arabian Prince, a founding member of N.W.A., rounds out the star-studded production team.

“I just wanted to bring something new to animation that’s never been seen before, coming from the mind of a black creator out of the projects of the Upper West Side of Manhattan,” Ice-T stated.

Industry veterans Ken Corben, Kirk Shaw and Thomas Vitale are also producing and executive producing the project, with Rusty Cundeiff attached as a producer. Shaw, whose credits include “The Hurt Locker” and “Blood Ties,” emphasized the project’s ambitious scope.

“Tehk City is one of those rare projects that came together through the collaboration of an exceptional team,” Shaw explained. “We’re creating a world only animation could capture, where morality is a luxury and the visual style is as fierce as the story itself.”

The animated series represents a departure from traditional Hip-Hop media ventures, focusing on original storytelling rather than biographical content. The project capitalizes on the growing appetite for adult-oriented animated programming that has seen success with shows like Invincible and The Boys: Diabolical.

Ambitious Entertainment is targeting a multi-platform release for “Tehk City” in 2026.

The collaboration brings together artists who have collectively shaped Hip-Hop culture for over three decades. Dr. Dre’s production empire, Snoop Dogg’s multimedia ventures, and Ice-T’s crossover success in television through Law & Order: Special Victims Unit provide substantial industry credibility to the animated venture.
