(WILLIAMSBURG, Pa.) — A 12-year-old Little League player sustained a fractured skull after falling from a bunk bed in the League’s dormitories in Williamsburg, Pennsylvania.

Easton Oliverson, a Santa Clara, Utah native, is conscious and starting to walk, the family said on an Instagram account set up in honor of his recovery journey.

Easton plays for the Snow Canyon team in the Little League, part of the team’s first squad to advance to the World Series championship in its 75-year history.

According to his father, Jace Oliverson, Easton fell from his bunk bed on Sunday. Easton had an epidural hematoma, where his fractured skull injury was coupled with a punctured artery outside the brain which caused internal bleeding.

Since Monday, doctors were able to stop the hematoma and stopped the bleeding, Oliverson said.

The Little League released a statement on Monday confirming the fall. It said Easton was transported to the Geisinger Janet Weis Children’s Hospital after the fall where he is currently still receiving treatment.

In a later statement, the League said it would be removing all bunk beds from its dormitories, out of an “abundance of caution.” The bunk beds do not have guard rails, the statement said.

“Since 1992, Little League has used institutional-style bunk beds to offer the most space for the players to enjoy their time in the dorms,” read the statement. “While these beds do not have guard rails, Little League is unaware of any serious injuries ever occurring during that period of time.”

Easton’s family posted a video on Friday of two nurses helping him walk down the hospital hallway.

“We are at a loss for words. There are none that seem fitting other than: God is Good,” the caption read.

“We love our Easton so much. Thank you for loving, and supporting him with us. Keep the prayers coming- he’s getting stronger everyday,” it continued.

Easton has also been moved out of the Intensive Care Unit, according to his family.

With Easton in the hospital, the Snow Canyon Little League has decided to add his little brother, Brogan, 10, to the roster. According to the Oliverson’s, Brogan was selected as an alternate for the team prior to his brother’s injury.

The team is scheduled to play its first game of the World Series championship at 3 p.m. eastern time on Friday.

Easton has seen remarkable support online since his admission to the hospital. Both the Brigham Young University football team and Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts posted videos on Instagram wishing the young player well.

(Note Language) The Game and NBA Youngboy‘s “O.P.P.” collab has been removed from the former’s album, Drillmatic: Heart vs. Mind, and it’s no longer available on streaming services. According to Game’s manager, Wack 100, the song was nixed due to financial reasons, specifically NBA’s expensive feature fee.

“YoungBoy charge n***** $300,000 a verse. That’s what he charge. That’s what it is,” Wack said in a recent Clubhouse conversation, per XXL. He admitted the 22-year-old offered “a helluva deal,” and dropped the price down to $150,000 for both the song and video. But, the feature would have still cut into Game’s marketing budget.

The album, he explained, had gone from 20 to 31 tracks, hindering him “from being able to do other things.” “O.P.P” was taken off the album as a result and will be replaced with a solo version.

“I had to make an executive decision whether I wanted to pay the tab he sent me, which was a respectable, great tab,” Wack explained. “It was love. I can’t front. But, that tab would have cut into that, that and that.”

He concluded, “It was just a business decision that I had to make.”

The Game’s Drillmatic dropped last Friday after delays related to sample clearance issues. The project boasts features from Roddy Ricch, Fivio Foreign, Ty Dolla $ign, Big Sean, YG, Kanye West, Moneybagg Yo and more.

(Note Language) It’s been two years since Jay Electronica put out his last album, Act II: The Patents of Nobility (The Turn), and Kevin Durant is ready for something new. While chatting with the rapper on Instagram Live, he expressed his desire to hear new Electronica music.

“We need some new music, yo,” KD said. “Nah, for real, though, dog, I’m sick of this sh**. I’m not trying to wait 10 years.”

Without dropping a release date, Jay assured him that some new tracks will be released soon.

“I’m coming, Inshallah. We plan, and Allah plan, but Allah the best of planners,” he said. “I always have plans, I always make music, but I’m not in control of my life. I’m only in control of small aspects of my life. Allah, the true and living God, controls the soul. Inshallah, new music coming soon.”

Jay also reminded KD that he’s been “blessed” to have heard some unreleased tracks, which he’s grateful the NBA star has never leaked.

“You got songs on your phone from me that nobody’s never heard,” he said. “And I appreciate that you never let nobody hear these songs.”

KD and other Electronica fans are aware that the rapper’s not afraid to spend time on a project. After exciting fans with his mixtape Act I: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge) in 2007, it took 13 years for him to release his debut album, A Written Testimony. Act II followed, dropping seven months later.

Fat Joe is preparing to discuss his life and career in a unique way: The rapper will star in a one-man stand-up, set to premiere this fall.

“The world will be getting Fat Joe at his most authentic, vulnerable, and comedic self on that stage,” the rapper said in a press release. “I’m not holding anything back. I’ve always taken pride in my storytelling, but we’re about to take it to the next level.”

Fat Joe’s one-man stand-up will be directed by Chris Robinson, and co-produced by Magic Lemonade and Roc Nation. The show will feature appearances from a few celebrities, including Dave Chappelle, who will introduce the event.

“I’m grateful to Dave Chappelle, Roc Nation, and Magic Lemonade for their support in sharing my story and helping make this one-man show the biggest event ever,” Joey said.
