A Dallas, Texas woman will spend the next 10 years in federal prison after plotting to kill a Mississippi business owner.
Ashley Grayson, 35, was sentenced after being convicted of a murder-for-hire plot. According to court records, Grayson ran an online business and got into an in 2021 got into an argument with a Mississippi woman who ran a similar business. Although the two had never met in person, Grayson suspected the woman of creating fake social media profiles to criticize her business
Grayson, formerly known online as Ashley Massengill, amassed a loyal social media following and parlayed the audience into a multi-million online course business. She built a reputation for flashing luxury cars, purchasing mansions, and making claims such as earning $1 million in 40 minutes online through her “digital course blueprint.”
In 2022, Grayson filed a defamation lawsuit against a financial coach named Derricka Harwell, alleging that a comment Harwell posted under one of Grayson’s Facebook posts was “false, defamatory, and injurious.
In August 2022, Grayson contacted a Memphis woman she knew and asked her to fly to Dallas to discuss a “business opportunity.” The woman and her husband flew to Texas the next month to speak with Grayson and her husband.
She offered the woman and her husband a “business opportunity”. Grayson requested they a kill her ex-boyfriend and a Texas woman who made negative social media posts about her.
She was willing to pay the couple at least $20,000 per killing, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
In September 2022, the Memphis woman recorded a FaceTime video call to Grayson where Grayson confirmed she wanted the woman killed as soon as possible and offered an extra $5,000 for the murder to happen within a week.
Later, the Memphis couple sent Grayson a picture of police lights from an unrelated incident under the guise that they had attempted to kill the woman but were unsuccessful. They demanded and received $10,000 from Grayson for the “attempt.”
Ashely then called the FBI saying she was being extorted..
The FBI and other law enforcement agencies began to investigate the case and by July 2023, a grand jury in the Western District of Tennessee returned a one-count indictment against both Grayson and her husband, Joshua. While Joshua was acquitted during a week-long trial in March 2024, Grayson was convicted for her role in trying to get the rival woman killed.
“This was a twenty-first-century crime where online feuds and senseless rivalries bled into the real world,” Acting U.S. Attorney Reagan Fondren said. “The defendant tried to hire someone to murder a woman over things that happened exclusively on the internet. Fortunately, no one was physically hurt on this case, but the victim and her family still felt a severe and emotional impact as the result of the defendant’s actions. The proactive response from the investigating agencies and our prosecutors prevented an even more serious crime from occurring.”
Grayson appears to have deleted her official social media accounts, though some accounts posing as her continue to post old videos in which Grayson made lavish purchases and pointed the audience toward her digital creator business.
After a decade in prison, which will be served without the possibility of parole, Grayson will go into three years of supervised release. This was the maximum sentence for the crime at hand.

“”Running a spiritual business means aligning your purpose with profit, where divine abundance flows as effortlessly as the value you deliver. Success isn’t just about numbers; it’s about the impact you create while staying true to your soul’s mission.” ~ Kissy Denise

We’ve all been there….grinding, pushing, and working hard year after year, only to feel like success is still far off in the distance.
But what if I told you that the long, hard road you’re walking isn’t necessary? What if I told you that what took me five years to accomplish, I could help you achieve in just five hours? .
Three Problems You're Facing In Your Business Right Now
1. You’re Hustling Without Results
You’re working long hours, trying every strategy under the sun, but you’re still not seeing the breakthrough you deserve.
The truth is, working harder isn’t the answer. Being spiritually aligned with your purpose is. Once that alignment happens, your results start showing up quickly and effortlessly.
2. You’re Blocking Abundance Without Realizing It
You may not even realize that you’ve been energetically blocking the money and success you desire.
The old beliefs, doubts, and insecurities you carry are acting as a barrier between you and your millionaire self.
When you begin to do the spiritual work to release these blocks, money begins to flow naturally into your business, and the clients who are willing to pay your worth begin to show up.
3. You're Stuck in Fear and Lack
Fear of failure and a scarcity mindset will keep you from making bold moves in your business.
If you’re making decisions based on fear, you’re manifesting more of that fear. When you shift your focus to abundance and trust in your higher purpose, your business will begin to thrive naturally.
You're Struggling with Self-Worth and Mindset Blocks
If you feel like you’re not good enough or constantly second-guess your decisions, you’re unknowingly creating energetic resistance to your own success. These mindset blocks are sabotaging your ability to create wealth. By addressing your spiritual alignment, you can clear these blocks and open yourself up to receiving abundance.
You're attracting the wrong client.
If you’re tired of dealing with clients who undervalue you, it’s because your energy is attracting them. The key to bringing in high-value clients who happily pay your worth is by transforming your inner world first.
When you align your energy with your true worth, those high-ticket clients will start showing up, and they will be ready to invest in you.
You’re Ready for More: The $100K Client and the Life You Were Born to Live
IMAGINE THIS:
Every morning you wake up, there’s a feeling deep inside of you. You know you were called for MORE. More money, more influence, more luxury. You’ve been dreaming of the day when that $100K pay-in-full client walks through your doors and completely transforms your business. The day when you can say, “I made it. I’m living the life I deserve.”
You’re tired of just getting by or making “good enough” money. You’re up next for massive success, and deep down, you know it’s your time to shine. The visions you’ve been holding onto—the ones where you’re traveling first class, wearing the most luxurious clothes, stepping into rooms where your presence commands respect—they’re not random dreams. They’re the calling of your soul.
You’re waking up in your dream house—floor-to-ceiling windows, a stunning view, and the kind of peace only a Goddess like you can enjoy. Your inbox lights up with a $100K client who has paid in full and is ready to work with YOU because you’re that powerful. Your calendar is filled with high-level opportunities, and every day, you’re surrounded by luxury, love, and abundance.
Your life is a reflection of the Goddess energy you embody: You’re wearing designer clothes that fit your body like they were made just for you, driving your dream car, and living in a state of flow and freedom. The millions in your bank account are a direct reflection of your soul’s purpose and alignment. You’re confident, you’re unstoppable, and your influence is expanding across every area of your life.
People listen when you speak. You command respect in every room you walk into, not just because of your success, but because you’ve stepped fully into your divine feminine power. You are impacting lives, building a legacy, and creating wealth that’s generational. Every dream you’ve had is finally coming true—not through hustling harder, but because you’ve aligned yourself with the abundant energy that has always been within you.
IT’S TIME TO STEP INTO YOUR POWER
That $100K client is closer than you think. The life of luxury, influence, and limitless wealth is waiting for you, but it won’t happen by chance.
You have to make the bold decision to say “yes” to the next level of your success. The key is your spiritual alignment—and that’s exactly where I come in.
I’ll help you break through the limiting beliefs and energy blocks holding you back from the millions, the respect, and the influence you were destined to have.
It’s time to stop waiting for the life you want and start creating it. You’re not just meant to get by—you’re meant to thrive.

Angela White, also known Blac Chyna, claims she has had to resort to selling her personal belongings to keep her head above water, in her legal filings that request Tyga to chip in for their looming custody battle.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Angela says she’s selling off her clothes, purses and shoes through an online consignment store and to friends and family just to make ends meet.
Angela claims she’s brought in over $178k this year from the used goods store, which she says has supplemented her plummeting business sales … but there’s a problem.
Angela says it’s really just a stopgap measure … because she’s going to eventually run out of clothes, purses and shoes to sell.
With Angela fighting Tyga in court over legal and physical custody of their son, King, she says the legal bills are piling up on her end … and she won’t be able to keep up the fight for her kid without some money from her rapper ex.
In the docs, Angela also claims Tyga’s been interfering with the limited time she does have with her son, which is only 24 hours a week.
Angela says Tyga refuses to directly communicate with her, share his contact information, or give her an address for where King lives. Anglea claims he’s also holding back important information on the kid’s health, safety and welfare, such as the location of the kid’s school and his prescriptions.
However, sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ Angela knows where Tyga lives, and he’s been paying for King’s private school tuition, medical bills and most everyday living expenses. We’re told King has his own line of communication with Angela that she has easily accessible access to.
Angela is asking the court to assist in establishing a consistent and regular schedule with King that Tyga can’t obstruct and order Tyga to pay $125,000 to cover her legal and accounting fees.
Watching Blac Chyna these days is interesting. The woman is literally a master manifestor. She worked her way from being a dancer, all the way up to having a child by the only adult male Kardashian heir. Hate all you want, but that’s not easy to do. However, lately Chyna’s thinking could be a lot bigger and better. The past few years she’s aimed for small things instead of going all out for what she wants. She’s also ruined her relationship with the father’s of her kids. Perhaps she needs to go and get that tunnel vision back that she claimed she had.
Perhaps something has affected her confidence. As far as Chyna’s custody battle, I do not see her winning this. She had ample opportunity to be the custodial parent of both of her children and appears to have chosen not to do do.
Even with the man she publicly dates at this point, none of them are moving her forward. However, her “baptism” and switching to Jesus character, along with gets an honorary doctorate’s seemed to get a lot of people on her side. I totally do not believe she’s broke. This seems to be a ploy to get the court on her side. Knowing that the internet will gossip about her, and Chyna still not caring, it’s clear that this is her version of playing chess.
Wishing her the best.
Sidenote: Before you believe that Tyga is a good person or totally side with him, remember he left Chyna and put her out his house in order to date 17-year-old Kylie Jenner.

Nariyah’s commitment to holistic healing and her role as a certified domestic violence liaison has allowed her to touch the lives of countless individuals, providing them with hope, resources, and a path towards a brighter future.
The Motivation and Support System:
For Nariyah, her children serve as a constant source of motivation. Having experienced the struggles of growing up in a single-parent household herself, she is determined to create a better life for her own children and ensure they never experience the hardships she faced. Nariyah credits her mother, Michelle Dixon, as her primary supporter and pillar of strength. Her mother’s unwavering support and resilience have inspired Nariyah to persevere through adversities and continue making a positive impact on the lives of others.
Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs:
Nariyah’s journey as a serial entrepreneur has taught her valuable lessons. Her advice to those aspiring to become entrepreneurs is simple yet profound: show up for yourself every day, embrace small beginnings, remain focused amidst naysayers, and always keep faith and gratitude at the forefront of your endeavors. By staying committed to personal growth, maintaining tunnel vision towards success, and seeking guidance from a higher power, aspiring entrepreneurs can pave their own path towards fulfilling their dreams.

As a devoted mother, Nariyah ensures she dedicates her free time to her children.

There has been a ton of chatter the past few days that Beyoncé can’t sell product, can’t act, and can’t do a few things, yet she’s awesomely amazing. Can’t nobody do it like Bey.
Bey slays so much and has such an intense fanbase, that “Swarm” is based upon her.
According to Newsweek, one of the creators of the show, Donald Glover, who starred in the 2019 version of The Lion King with the singer, joked at the show’s premiere: “Beyhive: don’t kill us. It’s not that bad. It’s actually, like, pretty cool.”
But back to the this other chatter in the middle of Bey slaying in a new way…. (That part)
ADIDAS & BEYONCE AMICABLY PART WAYS
The sales and merchandising chatter came after the internet heard that Beyonce was ending her deal with Adidas. According to The Hollywood Reporter Beyoncé and the sportswear manufacturer Adidas have reportedly mutually parted ways, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
News of the alleged split comes nearly two months after the “Renaissance” singer’s Ivy Park clothing line sales plummeted 50 percent, bringing in just $40 million in 2022 compared to $93 million in 2021.
You know your life is amazing when just one of your products sales totals only $40 Million a year…..
But according to the internet Beyonce got dropped because she can’t sell clothes or products.
Bey is definitely selling. Perhaps that side of the business would be better when she puts out merchandise that is more aligned with the fashion goals of her target audience aka THE BEYHIVE.
I gotta take a break and eat dinner. This is a lot. As a Beyhive member I feel attacked. 😂They ain’t even try to hide it. Bitch I know Festival is Renaissance. #swarm
It’s not like Bey is completely unaware of who so wonderfully loves her and would possibly rock her Ivy Park clothing line. Beyoncé, 41, originally launched Ivy Park with Topshop in 2016. However, in 2018, the singer acquired 100 percent of the brand from British billionaire Philip Green’s company after he faced allegations of sexual harassment, bullying and racism.
The following year, the “Drunk in Love” singer teamed up with Adidas to launch an inclusive unisex line that catered to both men and women.
Those who are part of the Beyhive already know that Queen Beyonce consistently plays chess and not checkers. Her most recent move will have you screaming Yas Sis!
Sales of Beyonce’s Ivy Park clothing line down more than 50%
BEYONCE PICKS UP NEW BALMAIN DEAL
In new news that supersedes her past collaboration endorsement deals of yesterday, Beyoncé has picked up new collaborator that has fans excited. French luxury fashion house Balmain just went into business with Beyonce for a new couture collection.
The singer, who appears on the April cover of Vogue France, announced on Friday that she has co-created a Balmain haute couture collection with Olivier Rousteing, Balmain’s creative director. It comes a day after The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Beyoncé’s Ivy Park and Adidas mutually agreed to part ways after five years of working together.
Renaissance Couture by Beyoncé x Balmain includes 16 couture outfits dedicated to the 16 songs on Beyoncé’s Grammy-winning Renaissance album.
