Wale’s latest album dropped on March 31, but you can listen to it here free all Easter weekend. Featuring stand out singles such as The White Shoes and The Body, the album is sure to be one of the low-key soundtracks to the summer.
Take a listen here:
Khloe Kardashian is still in interviews…whining about her addict ex-husband Lamar Odom by day while riding on replacement bae French Montana by night. She explained the struggle she’s facing being caught between her heart’s desire and the fire in her loins during a recent E! News interview.
“I will never ever not love Lamar…I’m so obsessed with him in a greatm healthy way. He was my husband, and I still wish he was, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. But there’s nothing I can do. Lamar has to do things in order to change in that aspect, but yeah, if I had my way I’d be married to Lamar in two seconds.”
But how does she reconcile that with being French’s Coke Girl for the last six months??
“I love French. He’s an awesome guy. We are on-again, off-again…but I don’t want to be too labeled to anyone right now. I’m still figuring out a lot of emotions with me.”
We thought her French Montana smash sessions were her way of building a bridge to get over the Lamar situation…but clearly it isn’t working. What will it take for her to finally move on?
Kris Jenner obviously has no problem with 17-year-old Kylie dating Tyga because she recently smothered her daughter’s bae in affection.

Most recently however she took a snap of her mom Kris eating at dinner…

before cozying up to Tyga.

Chris has been trying to take his Daddy duty very seriously…even aiming to move his baby mama Nia and their child Royalty out to LA to be closer to them just so he can see his precious baby girl every day. Royalty seems just as smitten with her father as he is with her…she couldn’t take her eyes off his video just last week.
Well it seems like a good idea for Chris to move the baby closer — she is growing up FAST. Her mother even already caught her speaking her first words yesterday, sharing it with the followers on her private Instagram account.
So what were the Royal first words? Peep the video below:
Awww, too precious. She’s already saying “Mommy!” Maybe she’ll be singing like Daddy next?

A San Diego man who operated a ‘revenge p**n’ website and then charged victims to remove nude images and their personal information was sentenced Friday to 18 years in state prison, the attorney general’s office said.
Kevin Bollaert, 28, was convicted in February of 21 counts of identity theft and six counts of extortion in San Diego Superior Court for running a pair of websites that capitalized on the internet as a forum for public shaming.
The landmark case was the first time a person had been tried for a running revenge porn ring in the United States.
Jilted lovers and hackers could anonymously post nude photos of people without their consent, along with personal information about them, at a website Bollaert created and moderated, called ugotposted.com.
More than 10,000 images, mainly of women, were posted between December 2012 and September 2013.
People who sought to have the explicit images taken down were directed to changemyreputation.com and charged $250 to $350 to remove the racy content.
Victims included teachers, wives and professionals.
This guy deserves the smallest and most uncomfortable of cells.

The racist emails that caused Ferguson police officials and a city clerk to either lose their jobs or resign have been released.
In them, they callously make racist remarks about President Obama and people on welfare.
The e-mails, released to The Washington Post in response to a public-records request, were sent and received by Mary Ann Twitty, who was Ferguson’s court clerk, as well as former Ferguson police captain Rick Henke and former police sergeant William Mudd.
All three were removed from their jobs after the Department of Justice discovered the e-mails, which prompted an internal investigation by city officials.
The e-mails — all sent between 2008 and 2011 — are primarily e-mail forwards containing insensitive and offensive jokes. One of the e-mails, sent by Twitty to both men as well as a third recipient with the subject line “Insensitive One Liners,” included the lines: “There’s a new Muslim clothing shop that opened in our shopping center, but they threw me out after I asked if I could look at some of the bomber jackets.”
In a message dated Tuesday, April 19, 2011, Twitty forwarded a message titled “Very Rare Photo” that included an image of former president Ronald Reagan feeding a baby monkey. Beneath the photo is the caption: “Rare photo of Ronald Reagan babysitting Barack Obama in early 1962.”
Another e-mail Twitty sent both men on March 1, 2010, included a short story titled “Leroy’s last child support payment.”
In an e-mail that Mudd forwarded to Twitty — which she then forwarded to others — in May 2011, the body of the message declares:
“A black woman in New Orleans was admitted into the hospital [for] pregnancy termination. Two weeks later she received a check for $5,000. She phoned the hospital to ask who it was from. The hospital said, ‘Crimestoppers.’”
Another, sent by Mudd on June 7, 2011, included a photo of two dogs and compared them to welfare recipients.
In an e-mail written Nov. 14, 2008, Henke wrote to a recipient whose identity was redacted in the records, that “we shouldn’t worry about him being president for very long because what black man holds a steady job for four years.”
SMH good riddance to these people and Chief Thomas Jackson too!

Anthony Ray Hinton, 58, spent half his life on Alabama’s death row, sentenced to die for two 1985 murders that for decades he insisted he did not commit.
Over 28 years, the outside world changed while Hinton spent his days largely in a 5ft by 8ft prison cell. Children grew up. His mother died. His hair turned gray. Inmates he knew were escorted off to the electric chair or the lethal-injection gurney.
He was set free on Friday after new ballistics tests contradicted the only evidence – an analysis of crime-scene bullets – that connected Hinton to the slayings.
As he left the jail, Hinton said he would pray for the victims’ families as he has done for the past 30 years. They have suffered a “miscarriage of justice” as well, he said. He had less kind words for those involved in his conviction.
“When you think you are high and mighty and you are above the law, you don’t have to answer to nobody. But I got news for them, everybody who played a part in sending me to death row, you will answer to God,” Hinton said.
Welcome home, brotha.

A stuffed Easter Bunny may be one of the strangest drug mules police in Oklahoma have ever nabbed.
Via Fox News reports:
Tahlequah City police on Friday intercepted the rabbit stuffed with a pound of meth, street value around $30,000.
“We’ve intercepted narcotics in the mail before,” Police Chief Nate King told Fox23 in Tulsa. “The Easter Bunny I thought was a strange touch.”
Police hopped on the case when they learned the rabbit was in a package addressed to Carolyn Ross in Tahlequah.
A police dog in Tulsa County sniffed out the methamphetamine before the package was to be delivered to her home.
The station said an officer posed as a delivery man and went to Ross’ home to give her the package.
Ross allegedly confessed to knowing about the meth and is being held on $75,000 bond.

We’ve cracked more than a few jokes about Kylie morphing into Blac Chyna but does the youngest Jenner daughter really want dark skin?
When Kylie posted the photo above and the accompanying caption “What I wish I looked like all the time” it kicked off a huge controversy Saturday night. Why? Because you know people get sensitive about white folks going dark… Kylie ended up deleting the post, but she posted several more shots, explaining the pictures were edited using lights to create the colors.
What makes this controversy even more interesting is that Karrueche and Zendaya also jumped into the conversation. Hit the flip to see how it all played out.
Is RHOA star Kandi Buruss and her hubby Todd Tucker ready to move on to their own series? Rumors are swirling that the reality couple if faking marital issues to land a show of their own!
Via Inquisitr reports:
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss has been on the show for quite some time, and she has had such a successful storyline that Bravo offered her a spin-off show to document her wedding. Of course, the road leading up to the wedding was not all flowers and fun. Many had called Kandi’s future husband an opportunist, and her own mother felt that he was only getting married to Burruss because he knew she could provide for him.
Kandi Burruss wasn’t skeptical in marrying Todd Tucker, but she did make sure that she had a prenup in place to protect the money she made before she met him. This did ease the concerns of those around her, but their concerns may have been valid. Burruss and Tucker haven’t exactly been on a roller coaster of romance.
According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report, The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss is now being accused of faking her marital problems with Todd over a possible business deal. Apparently, Kandi and Tucker have been documenting their marriage for a new spin-off called Meet the Tuckers. This spin-off is supposed to be about them, but Kandi Burruss is being accused of faking the fighting, the therapy, and the lack of sex — just so she could get more people interested in her marital drama.
What marital issues? Kandi and Todd recently flew to Paris to celebrate their one year anniversary and looked to be completely in love:

A student at the University of South Carolina has been suspended after a photo of the student who appeared to be writing a racial slur went viral Friday.
The photo, which appears to be taken from Snapchat and posted on several social media sites, shows a list of reasons why “USC’s WiFi blows.” On the top of that list is the N-word.
The University of South Carolina said it actually took place inside a study room.
President Harris Pastides said the student was suspended Friday and a code of conduct investigation has begun.
The course of action endorsed was also endorsed by the Board of Trustees, Pastides said.
“The unfortunate and disappointing act of a student in a study room has challenged the Carolina community to reflect on our values and tell the world what we believe,” Pastides said in a statement. “Respect for all is at the heart of the Carolinian Creed, the code by which we agree to abide. Racist and uncivil rhetoric have no place at the University of South Carolina.”
The student, who was not named, could also face expulsion.
Following the incident the NAACP released the following statement:
“A recent tweet that shows a student at the University of South Carolina listing the N-word as one of her grievances against the institution brings to mind a famous quote attributed to the French writer Alfonse Karr, “the more things change, the more they remain the same”.
Such negative attitudes have existed since the first European explorers visited the land we now call America. It is disappointing but no longer shocking to see a college student following what appears to be a growing trend in our state and nation. Scenes such as this while captured in still shots from time to time through social media, sadly reflect what people of color often experience in many communities. In the midst of the positive portrayal of University of South Carolina students over the past several weeks, we once again face a stark reality: even at our highest points as a society there are those among us – including the young – who wish they were still in Dixie.
This is why the NAACP cannot compromise, must not relent in its pursuit of dignity, justice and equality for all people in America.”
The student shown in the photo has yet to say anything publicly about the incident.
There goes that theory that only old people are racist… SMH. Do you think they should expel her?
Ex-pastor Joshua Feuerstein wanted to test something out amid the controversy this week over religious freedom and business rights. He figured if business owners should be compelled not to discriminate against homosexuals, then businesses should also be compelled not to discriminate against anti-gay Christians.
Via Mediaite reports:
And so, on video, he recorded a phone conversation he had with Florida bakery Cut the Cake. He asked if they would make him a sheet cake saying “We do not support gay marriage.” The woman on the other end said they wouldn’t do that and hung up. After that, Feuerstein proceeded to identify the bakery in question and made his point about the religious freedom issue.
At one point, he said, “Gay marriage isn’t even illegal. It’s called marriage. If you’re a gay man and you want to be married, guess what? Just go find a woman and get married.”
Feuerstein encouraged viewers to call the bakery and and help “expose the hypocrisy” they’re supposedly engaging in. Well, in a parallel of what happened to Memories Pizza in Indiana, Cut the Cake ended up receiving quite a lot of angry messages, including death threats.
Sharon Haller, who Feuerstein spoke to on the phone, said, “We started getting some hundreds of phone calls and making very nasty and negative gestures towards our business, towards us.”
Feuerstein took down the video at their request, but Cut the Cake posted it online so people could see it, along with a GoFundMe page that has raised, as of this posting, over $2000.
Some comments found on the baker’s Facebook page:

Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kim Zolciak will not be body shamed!
Via MSN reports:
The Bravo reality star and mother of six fired back at critics on Instagram on Friday, posting two selfies of herself wearing a tight, cleavage-baring black mini dress.
“Yes I have thick, or as some of my followers call them, ‘chunky’ legs (Rude Ass People),” she wrote. “Always have and I love them that way! I love every inch of me and it’s evident some of you don’t. It’s truly disheartening to see some of your comments because My kids see this stuff and I’m appalled. I guess it’s time I stop posting personal pics of myself as well as my kids since some of you last night and today commented rudely about them. #GodDontLikeUgly.
Zolciak, who also goes by her married name, Kim Zolciak-Biermann, has always appeared proud of her body, sharing sexy bikini selfies and other pics showing her slim figure on social media. She has also been candid about past plastic surgery procedures. She has undergone a breast augmentation, as seen on her current Bravo reality show Don’t Be Tardy.
Kim posed this pic on her IG blasting her online haters:

The devil has been real busy this Easter weekend…
While we expected nothing but well-wishes and happiness over the news that Kendrick Lamar is planning to wed his high school sweetheart Whitney Alford, it seems everyone can’t be happy. And why? Because she’s just not “black enough” apparently.
Rashida Marie Strober, a self-professed “Dark Skinned Activist” who runs the “Dark Skin Is Beautiful” Campaign posted this on her Facebook page on Friday, stirring up a gang of controversy as many people found her message to be hateful and misguided.

SMH. Just had to be the brother too. Deputy Police Chief Keith Foster (pictured above) is facing some pretty serious charges and rightfully has stepped down from his post after being arrested last week.
According to the Los Angeles Times:
Fresno’s deputy police chief, who is facing charges that he conspired to distribute drugs, resigned Friday.
Keith Foster’s resignation was effective immediately, according to a statement from his attorney, Edward Marshall Hodgkins. Foster was placed on paid administrative leave after his arrest last week.
Fresno’s deputy police chief was among four people arrested on federal drug charges, including conspiracy to distribute oxycodone and heroin, authorities said Thursday.
“After much reflection, and on the advice of counsel, he has determined that his effectiveness in the department would be severely limited even if he is ultimately exonerated of the federal charges currently pending against him,” his attorney said.
Foster, 51, who had been with the department for nearly 29 years, had been deputy chief since 2007.
He was arrested March 26 on charges that he conspired to distribute heroin, oxycodone and marijuana, according to a criminal complaint. The charges came
after a year-long investigation.Authorities say several people were involved in what a federal investigator labeled the “Foster drug-trafficking organization,” including two people believed to be related to the deputy chief: Iran Dennis Foster and Randy Flowers.
SMH. What a way to throw away your career bruh…
It will be interesting if he doesn’t do time, considering the evidence against him is pretty strong:
Investigators with the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives followed Keith Foster in December 2014 as he drove his black BMW to a Rite Aid pharmacy drive-through and picked up a prescription for 100 oxycodone pills, according to a sworn affidavit filed in U.S. District Court.
A month later, they followed him to the pharmacy again, where he picked up an identical order, authorities said.
This time, Foster drove to Flowers’ home, where they believe he dropped off the pills, according to the affidavit. Flowers, 48, also was arrested and charged, authorities said.
On Dec. 24, investigators were listening to Foster’s phone calls and heard him ask convicted drug dealer Rafael Guzman “if he knew someone who was trying to get some of ‘the black,’” or black tar heroin, according to the affidavit.
He asked what “the ticket” was, referring to the price, authorities said.
Guzman, 41, replied, “It depends, how good of clothes they want … at my cost now they’ll say about a rack for the best. We’re talking about some China white though, you know what I mean?” according to the affidavit.
Investigators say Guzman was indicating it would probably cost $1,000 per ounce for the best quality of white powder heroin.
Guzman was arrested and charged with conspiracy to distribute heroin.
Iran Foster and Jennifer Donebedian, 35, were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to distribute drugs, authorities said.
SMH. Just stupid. And they wonder why we don’t trust the police.
