That's the reason he told me that I'm not allowed to stay in the country, even though I showed him evidence of underage sex trafficking and domestic violence. Cardenas, who runs the website MamaStacks.
She acted one way on the outside but suffered on the inside. She says that if she's allowed to stay she'll drop the Kat Stacks persona entirely. I just had gotten out of the pimp scene. I was in that scene since I was 14 years old. I didn't know any better. Join the New Times community and help support independent local journalism in Miami.

Everyone could be celebrity or spy, a voyeur or the next contestant on that WorldStar screen. In some respects, he built something resembling a hip-hop analogue to the Huffington Post or Breitbart. Unlike those sites, WorldStar had no ideology other than extreme capitalism, but it obliterated the preconceived ideas of respectability, editorial oversight, and propriety of an earlier age.
Unless it involved bestiality or harm done to a child, WorldStar would show it. This included murder, sex, and Post Malone videos. Q refused to apologize for taking thousands of dollars from unknown rappers to run their videos on his site. He gave Kat Stacks a contract knowing that her stunts and scenarios were all fake, and the rappers were in on the joke at least if you believe what she told Rosenberg and Ebro last year.
This was entertainment in Roman gladiatorial fashion. If the people wanted a circus, he gave them freak shows and fistfights for free. And in a gesture of contrition to the old school hip-hop gods, Q would personally curate a Flashback Friday series that included Gang Starr, Pharoahe Monch, and Nas videos.
WorldStar had successfully done the latter by launching acclaimed short films that examined the internecine gang violence, hip-hop culture, and crippling poverty of neighborhoods in Chicago and Miami—ones where hi-definition cameras rarely roamed.
The site will live on without its founder, the father of three, who passed away from heart failure, with obesity considered to be a contributing factor. According to police, the body was found unresponsive at a massage parlor, which all things considered, is a WorldStar-worthy way to go. Love him or hate him, Q changed the way we perceive hip-hop, the world, and the often-terrifying extremes of human behavior.
No one understood how to give the people what they wanted better than Q or WorldStar. The problem is, that meant we all learned what the people wanted. All Rights Reserved.
