Instead, an earthquake changed the route—and Bahamian passengers say the hours that followed left them exhausted, frustrated and struggling to get help. Their Copa Airlines flight was diverted to Barranquilla, Colombia, on October 9. Passenger Lareinae Toote said she boarded shortly after 11:45

An NBA championship is the dream for basketball players around the world. But for VJ Edgecombe, there’s another basketball dream that reportedly means even more: representing The Bahamas at the Olympics. And honestly, from this side of the water, that isn’t difficult to understand. Recent reports say the Bahamian guard expressed that preference during a stream with Jaylen Brown. For a player who

It began as the kind of private-island wedding weekend The Bahamas is famous for delivering: turquoise water, oceanfront villas, guests arriving by helicopter and seaplane, and fireworks lighting up the sea. But months after Donald Trump Jr. married socialite Bettina Anderson in The Bahamas, the lavish celebration is making headlines for reasons that have very little to do with romance.

In Part 1, we talked about the part that still feels strange to many Bahamians: you can legally purchase alcohol at 18 in The Bahamas, but fly into the United States and you are suddenly underage again until 21. But what actually happens if an 18-, 19- or 20-year-old is caught with alcohol? Is it just confiscated? Do the police call the parents? Is there a fine—or can someone really be arrested?

Lil Durk walked out of his murder-for-hire trial with the biggest legal victory possible: not guilty on every charge. But this was never a one-man case. There were men accused of organizing the trip, men accused of stalking Quando Rondo, men identified as shooters, defendants who pleaded guilty and testified for the government—and one defendant whose case was separated before the jury heard any

After weeks of accusations, cooperating witnesses, controversial rap lyrics and enough conflicting testimony to keep social media arguing around the clock, the verdict is finally in: Lil Durk has been found not guilty on all five charges in his federal murder-for-hire trial. The Los Angeles jury returned the sweeping acquittal on Friday, September 11, after three days of deliberations. Durk—whose

After all that talk about whether Jazz Chisholm Jr. should be stealing bases, the Bahamian star returned to the field Tuesday night and found another way to make noise. Spencer Jones opened the scoring against the Los Angeles Angels with a two-run homer in the first inning. Jazz stepped up next and sent a solo shot over the left-field wall, giving the Yankees back-to-back home runs and an

The witnesses have finished testifying. The prosecution and defense have rested. Lil Durk chose not to take the stand, and the jury is scheduled to return Tuesday 8th, for closing arguments. But just when it appeared that everyone involved had finally stopped talking, OTF Jam reportedly returned to social media with a blistering message aimed directly at Durk. Now, instead of the focus being

Everybody reported the explosive sound bite: “Durk told us to.” But now that both sides have rested in Lil Durk’s federal trial, the bigger question is not what Kavon “OTF Vonni” Grant said. It is whether the government proved it—or whether Vonni had the motive, access and criminal connections to organize the attack himself. That second possibility is what Durk’s defense team has been pushing,

The global and Bahamian creative communities are reeling following the sudden, tragic passing of celebrated visual artist Stefan "Legend" Davis. Known for his larger-than-life personality, infectious energy, and incredibly vibrant pop art portraits, Stefan was killed in a violent traffic collision in Miami, Florida, on September 2, 2026. Stefan leaves behind a massive cultural footprint

Imagine being too young to read, tie your own shoes or fully understand death—yet suddenly being expected to sit on a throne. That was the extraordinary beginning of King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, who became the traditional ruler of Uganda’s Tooro Kingdom when he was only 3 years old.

Now, this is where OTF Jam’s testimony gets even more interesting. Jam spent Thursday walking jurors through the final moments leading up to the shooting that killed Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson. According to him, three vehicles were following Quando Rondo’s black Escalade around Los Angeles, trailing him from a marijuana dispensary to a Beverly Hills clothing store and eventually to the gas

One thing that has always surprised me about America is its drinking age. The United States seems far more lenient than The Bahamas in plenty of areas—but alcohol is not one of them. Here in The Bahamas, 18 is the legal age for purchasing alcohol. But take a short flight to Florida, and an 18-, 19- or 20-year-old who is perfectly legal at home is suddenly considered underage. And yes, the age is
