Perhaps having 'Lil' in your name just isn't a good move for a rapper - it's a license to attract controversy and disapproval from the public! To be fair, nobody gets into rap to become a role model, but Lil Wayne is another member of the rap community who gets into more trouble than most. He's been repeatedly arrested for drugs and weapons offenses, which have seen him spend a year in prison. He's not popular with other musicians either - they've repeatedly used him for plagiarism, and for using samples without permission.
Throughout all his troubles, Lil Wayne has maintained that he's a good and faithful Christian. He runs the non-profit One Family Foundation to raise money for charitable causes, and has spoken out against violence within the 'Black Lives Matter' movement as being counterproductive. In late 2016 he retired from music completely, having become disillusioned with the industry.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
