During this 4-minute clip from former Cash Money groupie Jenna Shae’s interview on Shade 45, she recounts how she was in a statuatory situation with Tyga when HE was only 17, justifies his relationship with underage Kylie, and says she cut things off with the budding rapper after his super-sized schlong gave her a medical condition.
But wait…at the 1:44 mark — did that radio host just APPLAUD Kylie for handling huge man-meat at the tender age of 17?! SMH!

Can the Fab Five just get along? Jalen Rose and Chris Webber are stirring up the pot on their 4-year-old sports beef, trading subliminal shots in separate appearances on sports talk radio earlier today. Via NYPost:
Chris Webber and Jalen Rose took their long-simmering feud to the next level Wednesday as they exchanged barbs through the media. The former Michigan stars have been at odds over Webber’s decision not to participate in the “30 for 30” documentary on their famous Wolverines team that aired in 2011.
“A lot of people… after they retire or they’re looking for a job or they want to be relevant … they go back in time and kind of… make sure their importance is really known… when one guy has a million highlights of himself … as if he was the leading scorer and all the stories are embellished, it’s hard for me,” Webber said on the “Dan Patrick Show” on Wednesday, according to Awful Announcing.
Webber’s words apparently infuriated Rose, who ripped the power forward in comments to Larry Brown Sports.
“One dude traveled then called timeout,” Rose said of Webber’s famous foible that cost Michigan a chance against North Carolina in the ’93 title game.“One dude lied to grand jury and hasn’t apologized. One dude tried to circumvent the documentary to HBO. One dude ignored multiple requests from everyone involved after agreeing to participate. One dude played like (President) Obama and sat in a suite during Michigan’s recent title game. One dude slandered Ed Martin after all he did for him and his family. One dude is not in contact with the other four (which is all good). One dude has been doing a rebuttal doc for four years. One dude clearly is delusional and still in denial. Congrats on your amazing success! Respect had no price. Man up.”
These two STILL at it after all these years?! SMH. Whose side are you on?

In case you somehow haven’t heard by now…Miley Cyrus dressed up like a nearly-naked butterfly and sang Khia’s “My Neck, My Back” while repeatedly thrusting and grabbing at her crotch at the Adult Swim Upfronts in NYC last night.
Catch the full performance below…in case you ever wanted to see something like that:
She’s a certainly a little potty mouth, huh? Well, at least she had the courtesy to hopscotch over the n-words in the verses…
Naturally, reactions flooded social media once the clip started circulating. But While the internet was busy imploding over Miley’s cover, the hood classic’s originator, Khia, caught wind of the performance and gave it two thumbs up:
Later noting what a shame it was that a white girl had enough sense to pay homage to “the queen” before any black artists bothered…
Finally suggesting that Miley make her relevant again hop on her brand new track:
Via TMZ:
Khia tells us she thought Miley’s version was bomb because she’s “probably the only white girl on the planet that can twerk and talk about getting her p**** licked that it’s acceptable and it be true like my song.”
And Khia thinks she and Miles could have a friendship made in p****-popping heaven. She says she’s invited Cyrus to collab on her new track, “Yum Yum Sauce” — which, we gotta say … sounds right up her alley.
You think Miley will respond to the bat signal Khia’s throwing up? Are anyone’s ears really ready for what these two could possibly cook up in the studio?

After months of health struggles, iconic blues guitar legend B.B. King has passed on. He was 89 years old.
Via CNN:
Riley B. King, the legendary guitarist known as B.B. King, whose velvety voice and staccato-picking style brought blues from the margins to the mainstream, died Thursday night.
He was 89.
His daughter, Patty King, said he died in Las Vegas, where he announced two weeks ago that he was in home hospice care after suffering from dehydration.
King’s enduring legacy came from his refusal to slow down even after cementing his status as an American music icon.
Even with a long list of honors to his name — Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Presidential Medal of Freedom — he maintained a relentless touring schedule well into his 80s.
So sad. B.B. King was still booking stages thrilling audiences up until just a few weeks ago. He’ll truly be missed.
The surviving Boston Marathon bomber has officially been sentenced. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will be put to death for the 2013 terror incident that killed three people and injured hundreds more.
A jury has sentenced Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death.
There was no visible reaction from Tsarnaev.
CNN Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin said a years-long appeal process is expected, but “the overwhelming likelihood is that he will die.”
The jury’s verdict marked the first time in the post-9/11 era that federal prosecutors have won the death penalty in a terrorism case.
Tsarnaev will likely be sent to the federal death row in Terre Haute, Indiana.
Welp! Do you agree with capital punishment or should he have gotten life???
If Odell wants to talk about guaranteed contracts, that’s one thing. But let’s make no mistake, NFL players get paid PLENTY!

Hacked or nah??? Just when we thought things between Blac Chyna and Tyga couldn’t get any uglier the pair seem to have worked out their differences.
On Friday Chyna tweeted that she’d forgiven her baby daddy and was over the drama… Wonder why she didn’t @ him though?
Meanwhile, although Tyga has not responded on social media he did post this pic of King Cairo hanging out with Breezy’s daughter Royalty:
Right around the time that Chyna posted this King selfie
Now y’all know we’re glad Chyna and Tyga appear to be back to peacefully co-parenting BUT we can’t help but wonder if Kylie being out of town might be helping this reconciliation along.
What do you guys think?

Spike Lee is Ray Charles to the critiques…
Via HuffingtonPost
Movie director Spike Lee, known for films that deal frankly with racial issues, appeared in Chicago on Thursday to defend his planned movie about the city, after its reported title, “Chiraq,” was criticized by local politicians.
Speaking at a South Side church and surrounded by African-American mothers carrying pictures of children killed in street violence, Lee said artists hold up a mirror to society and are not afraid to tell the truth.
“We have to stop the madness,” Lee said. “This is insane.”
He said people who know nothing about it have been expressing opinions about the film. Lee referred to the movie’s “so-called title,” but did not say if “Chiraq” would be the title and did not take questions.
“Chiraq” is street slang that compares the nation’s third largest city to the war zones of the Middle East. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, U.S. Senator Dick Durbin, and local alderman Anthony Beale have expressed concern over the title, with Beale calling it “insulting.”
Chicago recorded 407 murders in 2014, far ahead of the 328 recorded in the larger city of New York. Chicago has long fought a reputation for violence, enhanced by the mythology surrounding Prohibition-era gangster Al Capone.
Many criticized Spike for negatively affecting Chicago’s tourism by releasing a film with such an intimidating title.
Lee said he was not concerned about Chicago politics or tourism.
“This is not about Chicago losing business,” Lee said.
Referring to the grieving mothers around him, Lee said, “No one wants to be a member of this club right here.” Lee cited news reports that 14 people had been shot in the city the day before, with three killed.
How do you feel about the term “Chiraq”? Is it the “reflection of society” as Spike claims, or is it a pejorative term for a city that has the blood of black people running in the streets?

Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson managed to move past their domestic dust-up last month, but it seems the WNBA hasn’t. The freshly married pair have each been slapped with a 7-game suspension from their respective team games — the longest ban in league history. Looks like the president really wants to set an example. Via ESPN:
WNBA stars Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson were suspended seven games each Friday for their domestic violence arrest last month — the league’s longest ban in its 19-year history.
WNBA president Laurel Richie said the league “takes all acts of violence extremely seriously” in handing down a suspension that represents nearly one-fifth of the 34-game regular season. Richie called the players’ actions “unacceptable.”
“Brittney and Glory’s conduct is detrimental to the best interests of the WNBA and violates applicable law,” Richie said in a statement. “We also understand that people make mistakes, and that education and training are as important as imposing discipline.”
“I have already learned a tremendous amount from this experience and am committed to improving myself and my marriage going forward,” Griner said in a statement. “I want to thank everyone for their support over these last few weeks. I realize I let down a lot of people who have been champions for me and I will support my teammates and our organization every day until I am back on the court. I am thankful for the opportunity to make positive changes and become a role model for others to do the same.”
The WNBA said the two All-Stars must undergo individual counseling. If either fails to comply with that condition or those by the court, the league says it can revisit the case.
Well that’s one way to set the precedent. Do you think the punishment was overkill or just enough?

India has one of the highest rates of HIV in the world, so one would think the population would be diligent about safe sex. However, it seems that condom usage is part of the problem, As it turns out, the average Indian man’s penis is just too small for international-standard condoms…so the disease keeps spreading like wildfire. Via Mirror:
Condoms made to international sizes are too big for a majority of Indian men, a survey has found.
A two-year study by the Indian Council of Medical Research found that more than half of the Indian men measured had penises that were shorter than international standards for condoms.
Now there are calls for condoms of mixed sizes to be made more readily available in a country which already has the highest number of HIV infections of any nation.
Over 1,200 volunteers from the length and breadth of the country had their penises measured precisely, down to the last millimetre, according to a report on the BBC news website.
The scientists concluded that about 60% of Indian men have penises which are between three and five centimetres shorter than international standards used in condom manufacture.
Doctor Chander Puri, a specialist in reproductive health at the Indian Council of Medical Research, told the BBC there was an obvious need in India for custom-made condoms, as most of those currently on sale are too large.
Damn…they need custom mini-condoms to strap-up properly. Hopefully the latex corporations can get on that ASAP!
Next time…flats.

The Baltimore Police continue to be called into question after Freddie Gray’s death and the subsequent riots last month. Now, new video has surfaced showing officers sent in to help neutralize the situation joining in on the rioting. Via RawStory:
Three Baltimore police officers were accused of theft in two separate investigations — including two charged after being caught on video looting a store during the unrest that followed the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray.
According to the Baltimore Sun, correction officers Tamika Cobb and Kendra Richard were suspended without pay after footage showed them exiting a local convenience store holding Slim Jims and Tostitos chips on April 25.
Take a look:
That same day, riots broke out in the city after six hours of peaceful protests calling for charges to be filed against the officers who arrested Gray earlier that month. Six officers were later charged in connection wih Gray’s death.
Both Cobb and Richard were assigned to corrections facilities downtown, near the site of the unrest. They face charges of burglary and theft, and bail was set for each of them at $35,000.
Public Safety and Correctional Services Secretary Stephen T. Moyer said in a statement that authorities began investigating the two officers following a tip.
“We will not allow the vast majority of our employees who are honest and hardworking to be tainted by the actions of a few,” he said.
And yet…some still question that members of the Baltimore PD are crooked.
