Is THIS The Reason Drake Reignited Beef With Meek During His Philly Stop Over The Weekend?

Meek Mill Tried To Block Drake’s Club Appearance Money In Philadelphia

Everyone wondered why exactly Drake all of a sudden seemed so interested in unearthing Meek Mill and dusting off their year-old beef during the last few stops of his Summer Sixteen tour…calling him a p***y while in DC and mouthing off about the Dream Chaser in Philly.

Well it seems…as usual…Meek may have actually been the one to ignite things once again. Apparently he couldn’t resist the pettiness lying latent in his soul and started scrambling to assert his dominance in Philadelphia as the date of Drake’s sold out show approached…

Via TMZ:

Meek Mill tried to set up a full blockade of Drake in Philadelphia, but the plan blew up in his face … TMZ has learned.

Sources in both rappers’ camps tell us Meek had Sunday night marked down on his calendar — knowing full well Drake was scheduled to be behind enemy lines … performing in Meek’s hometown. We’re told Meek’s crew put out calls to several nightclubs asking them to turn down Drake if he wanted to throw an after-party.

Meek’s camp also put out calls to several hundred of their homies in town, and asked them to make a show of force at the Wells Fargo Center. Things really got heated when their crews contacted each other directly — Meek’s team warning Drake’s that there better not be any disrespect when they got to Philly.

WELP, that clearly had the opposite effect. Instead of keeping quiet — as was apparently his original plan — Drake got extra agitated by Meek’s pettiness and…well you saw how that went:

We’re told the warning only pissed off Drake … and reignited the beef. This is exactly why he called Meek a “p****” on Saturday night … and then ripped into him even harder in Philly.

For what it’s worth — Drake did NOT party in town after the concert. It’s unclear if that’s because Meek’s blockade was successful, or if Drizzy just chose to get the hell outta Dodge … with all his bodyguards nearby.

As we saw, some of Meek’s Dream Chaser goons were at the concert…though it doesn’t appear that they said much to him as he exited the venue at a normal pace:

Well either way it goes, mission accomplished. Drake didn’t appear at any clubs while there. We wonder if Meek has anything further to say on the topic after all this…

All Good? Tamar And Vince Spotted Hand In Hand After Domestic Drama

Tamar And Vince Spotted Out And About After Domestic Dispute

After news broke that Tamar Braxton and Vincent Herbert had an intense altercation at an upscale Atlanta hotel on Sunday evening — so intense in fact that cops and EMTs needed to be called to the scene — the couple has some serious damage control to do.

Fast forward to today, and TMZ cameras caught the couple acting all easy breezy as if nothing ever occurred. Tamar and Vince were spotted strolling through LAX hand-in-hand earlier today, coupled up and smiling. They even silently indicated that things were all good in the hood when pressed about their fade session over the weekend:

Now, our source did note that Tamar and Vince take special care to put on a united front and appear like a happy unbothered couple after each time some of their marital messiness leaks to the public. And their little show of PDA was definitely conveniently covering majority of Tamar’s left hand — which was allegedly badly injured during their incident.

But maybe we’re just being conspiracy theorists here…

What do you think? Are these two really all good?

Rumor Control: Did L.A. Reid Confirm That Ciara Was Quietly Dropped From Epic Records?

Ciara Listening Party

Has Ciara Been Dropped From Epic?

Was Ciara kicked to the curb by her record label?

Speculation grew after fans noticed that CiCi’s name was no longer listed on Epic’s website on the artist roster, and L.A. Reid sent THIS cryptic and seemingly taunting tweet

…many thought that Ciara’s time as a signed artist had come to an end and that she had been unceremoniously dropped from the label. But not so fast! A source close to Ciara tells us that none of L.A.’s tweets had anything to do with Ciara or her music career.

Now, it is indeed true that Ciara is no longer signed to Epic. The songstress and the label mutually parted ways a few months ago, so naturally she no longer appears on the roster.

But as far as L.A.’s tweets go…apparently, though he didn’t @ anyone, L.A. was actually responding to a fan question about the state of child rapper Lil Poopy’s career. For those unfamiliar, Lil Poopy won Jermaine Dupri’s child rap competition, The Rap Game. Someone asked if Epic Records had signed Lil Poopy, and L.A. was making it clear that no such agreement had been reached.

So that settles that!

Woman Wins $10.7 Million On Vegas Slot Machine

These are the types of stories that keep a gambling heart going. A Hawaii woman, visiting Vegas for the weekend played the penny slot of her life at the Wynn casino…and flipped $3 into MILLIONS.

Via People:

When you win $10.7 million gambling, what happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas.

A woman from Oahu, Hawaii hit it big at the Wynn hotel in Las Vegas on Sunday when she won a total payout of $10,777,270.51 from a single penny slot.

The guest, who requested her identity be kept confidential, played on a Wynn-themed Megabucks machine, which takes $3 bets, according to several local news outlets.

Wynn Las Vegas confirmed the woman’s jackpot on Twitter Tuesday writing, “How would you celebrate if you were the lucky winner of a $10.7 million jackpot on one of our slot machines?”

The Megabucks machine appears to be the game to wager one’s money.

The biggest ever jackpot recorded was at the Excalibur hotel in March 2003 when a 25-year-old Los Angeles resident put $100 in a Megabucks machine, and won a total of $40 million.

She was smart to stay anonymous! Her best bet is to go home and not tell a soul…

#LHHH’s Kyesha Kicks “So Gone” Freestyle About Willie

It looks like the Willie, Shanda, Kyesha drama is spilling from TV screens on to social media. This week’s Love and Hip Hop episode focused on former Bad Boy singer Willie’s cheating ways and his wife’s reaction to his side chick Shanda’s allegations.

Kyesha probably didn’t get enough of her chest during Monday’s episode, so she felt compelled to kick a freestyle about it.

Melanin Poppin! The Colored Girl Campaign Returns With Even More Brown Beauties For The “REBIRTH”

Colored Girl Rebirth Great Group Shot

Campaign To Highlight Women Of Color Returns

We are so excited to see The Colored Girl, Inc is back with another great campaign, this time dubbed The Rebirth. While many of the original models are back, founders Victory Jones and Tori Elizabeth brought even more women of color to the campaign by featuring models who represent a number of diverse backgrounds. We were also excited to see supermodel Diandra Forrest has joined the movement!

“This campaign is important because it signifies something greater than just being comfortable in our own skin,” reads the statement from The Colored Girl, Inc founders Tori Elizabeth and Victory Jones. “It’s about regeneration, rebirth and a reclaiming of our power, while broadening the scope of what it means to be The “Colored” Girl. We have to recognize that the effects of colorism are not only present in the black community, but in all brown communities, and that issues plaguing us as brown women is something that we (sadly) have in common. These and other commonalities, are the ties that bind us; while we unite to celebrate the differences that also make us unique and beautiful. We felt it was important to represent this visually, while also capturing the stunning essence of each individual woman.

Dope right?

Colored Girl Rebirth Founders In White

You’ll probably notice that this time around the women are styled in both neutral and natural colors as well as whites and beiges…

“We chose to style the original girls in white to set them apart, signifying “rebirth,”” Tori and Victory explained. “Having been featured in the original campaign, they’ve been here before, and have had an awakening of sorts. They’ve undergone the journey, which the newer girls (in nudes, neutrals, earth tones) are currently embarking upon… a rite of passage to self-discovery, which begins with first accepting and embracing everything you are.

We feel that a lot of people will not only fall in love with the images, but with what it represents as well, which is not only the resurgence of The Colored Girl, but widening the margins to include more of them. Yes, We love black women. We are black! But we are also brown and part of a much larger global community of Colored Girls. And yes, we feel that what we are doing is sorely needed, because representation matters. We also know that to ever move past where we have been or even where we are today, both are needed: the celebration of US, as well as the inclusion of others who have also been marginalized.

We are serving beauty and fashion with the purpose of creating awareness, fostering empowerment and cultivating solidarity amongst brown women, while showing the world that we all deserve to be celebrated equally. At the end of the day, this is still a love movement.

We love it!

Keep flipping for more dope shots from the campaign and to meet the models.

Fans of POWER may recall getting an eyeful of 50’s real live man-meat on the show a few weeks back…and then hearing 50 get all upset about it after the fact, after willingly pulling his peen out in front of Starz’ cameras. During his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, he explained why he was shocked to see his manhood on his flatscreen after the fact…

“I knew it was there, but in the original clips, it was darker,” he said. “It wasn’t on, like, a big screen, like a life-sized version. It wasn’t like an accident. Courtney was like, ‘I didn’t want to show it to you in the beginning, because I didn’t think you needed to see it at that point…You just gotta take one for the team.’”

WELP! Don’t pull it out if you ain’t trying to show it off…

Ryan Lochte Joins Dancing With The Stars

The line-up of players on next season’s Dancing With The Stars is shaping up…and it looks like one disgraced Olympian is looking to use the mirror ball trophy to polish up his public image.

Via US Weekly:

From the pool to the dance floor. Multiple sources tell Us Weekly that Ryan Lochte signed on for season 23 of Dancing With the Stars following his Rio robbery scandal, in which he said he “overexaggerated” his story about being robbed at gunpoint.

“Doing DWTS will be great for Ryan’s image!” an insider tells Us Weekly. “He will be able to show America that he’s a good guy who made a mistake. He’s still an Olympic champion! He will be great on the show.”

The cast of celebrities for the upcoming season of the ABC dancing competition has not yet been announced and reps for the show never comment on casting rumors, but this season will likely include a few Olympic athletes.

In the aftermath [of his lies], Lochte lost several of his sponsors, including Speedo, Ralph Lauren, Airweave and Gentle Hair Removal. Forbes estimates that he could lose up to $10 million in endorsements because of the Rio scandal. The CEO of the U.S. Olympics Committee, Scott Blackmun, also told the Associated Press that the organization is looking into additional disciplinary action for the swimmers.

We don’t know if this little stunt will lure his endorsers back…but people are already prepared to sweep his reckless lies under the rug, so who knows.

Maybe Amber Rose will dust his azz in the competition and he won’t even stay on long…

True to form, all it took was the shaky suspicions of an unknown passenger to to get one young woman and her sister — both wearing hijabs — booted from an EasyJet flight and questioned by authorities over possible affiliations to ISIS for over an hour.

A Second-By-Second Breakdown Of Magical Negrodom In The ‘Same Kind Of Different As Me’ Trailer

0
0

Screen Shot 2016-08-25 at 3.10.08 PM

There’s a movie coming out called The Same Kind Of Different As Me and I could end this article by saying the full name of the book it’s based on is Same Kind of Different As Me: A Modern-Day Slave, an International Art Dealer, and the Unlikely Woman Who Bound Them Together. There are maybe seven words in that title alone that indicate this is some f*ck sh*t. The movie stars Renee Zellweger’s new face™, Renee Zellweger’s southern accent, Greg Kinnear phoning it in, Jon Voigt as Disheveled Donald Trump and Djimon Hounsou filling up the drinking gourd with his dignity before pouring it out in remembrance of what’s left of his career. The movie is pretty much what comes up if you type in All Lives Matter on the Pornhub search bar.

So here’s the plot: Djimon Hounsou is a raging, homeless, mysterious savage Black man who needs to be saved by a White couple and their racist dad. Do they save him? Who cares…at least their White, loving marriage is saved. So yay!

I originally was going to do this to the Magical Negro Eddie Murphy movie where he sacrifices his whole life and literally dies for the preservation of a White woman. But this trailer makes that movie look like It Takes A Nation Of Millions… had a baby with Gil Scott-Heron. This is the Illmatic of magic negro movies.

So here’s the trailer. Let’s talk.

:01-:05 – We start with an accent that’s pretty indiscernible. I’ll go on to learn that this is Renee Zellweger’s New Face’s™ New Southern Accent. That’s fine but it really sounds like someone deep fried a Tickle Me Elmo.

:05-:10 – We learn that Renee Zellweger’s character – she doesn’t have a name so let’s call her “I Have A Black Friend” or IHABF – had a dream about a “poor wise man who changes the city.” She didn’t mention that he was Black, which is the least believable part of this whole trailer. IHABF seems like the type of woman who will tell you about every time she sees a Black person. She seems very much like the I was at Kroger and a Black woman was in aisle three type of White woman. So there’s zero percent chance she didn’t actually tell her husband “there was a poor wise man in my dream and he was BLACK.”

:19 – New Faced Zelly Wegs is working the kitchen. Look in the background. It’s confirmed what I’d suspected all along.

Screen Shot 2016-08-25 at 1.33.39 PM

Look at how full those seasoning containers are. No need to say any more.

:23 – Greg Kinnear is generally a good actor but it’s pretty clear his character’s name is Twitter Egg Avi. He’s the reluctant giver with a heart of gold below his judgmental pseudo-racism.

:25-:40 – Ohhh snap! Twitter Egg Avi cheated on his wife’s new face. Tragedy! These two White people are surrounded by homeless people who had devastating tragedies but screw those hobos I’m crying over their failed marriage. Remember: White inconvenience trumps everyone else’s suffering any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Screen Shot 2016-08-25 at 1.31.28 PM

:40-:47 – AHHHH SAVAGE! Is this supposed to be an inspirational film or a horror movie. BY GOD THERE’S A BLACK MAN ON THE LOOSE. AND HE HAS A BAT. This is the America Obama always wanted.

Screen Shot 2016-08-25 at 1.36.18 PM

1:03 – 1:10 – This is the money shot. Twitter Egg Avi tells Djimon he wants to be friends and we get the slow pan and the soon-to-be infamous “well umma gunna have to think about that.” You know how some actors did deep into source material to really dig into a character? Remember how Leonardio DiCaprio ate bison testicles for his movie about killing Native Americans or whatever? Well Djimon did something similar: he made a DJ Screw tape of old Amos N’ Andy shows and learned how to be the most regressive Black man whose name doesn’t rhyme with Badea.

Screen Shot 2016-08-25 at 2.51.49 PM

1:16 – There’s literally hours of B roll that’s just “Black Guy Receiving Styrofoam and Foil” they’ve filmed for this movie. Hours. The carbon footprint on this movie is going to destroy this planet. If depression from watching the movie doesn’t do it first.

Screen Shot 2016-08-25 at 2.54.15 PM

1:17 – This is what Donald Trump is going to look and sound like on December 1, 2016 after he’s lost the election and gets his own TV show on Fox News and a column in People.

Screen Shot 2016-08-25 at 2.55.49 PM

1:24 – I’m not exaggerating. Every five seconds there’s a clip of White people handing a homeless Black man something. If you listen closely you’ll hear Mike Pence letting out a post-coital moan.

Screen Shot 2016-08-25 at 2.57.42 PM

1:29 – Booty had me like…

Ha, no but seriously, this is what it looks like when racism is corroding your organs one White a$$ Hollywood movie at a time.

1:30 – This is an actual exchange:

I Have A Black Friend: “Kind of sexy what you did today”
Twitter Egg Avi: “Hanging out with a homeless guy?”
I Have A Black Friend: “How was it?”
Twitter Egg Avi: “Actually it was kind of amazing”

Then I imagine he says “technically, it’s only 3/5ths of a homeless guy AMIRIGHT?”

Screen Shot 2016-08-25 at 3.02.15 PM

1:42 – 1:46 – Oh, now we know why the Black guy is there…to homelessly sacrifice himself for the reclamation of White love. It’s a tale as old as time.

Screen Shot 2016-08-25 at 3.10.08 PM

1:53-1:55 – Whether we’s rich or we’s po’ we’s all homeless. WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN. Djimon is now preaching in a church and he looks like Meth Danny Glover and I don’t know what this sentence means at all. And what year does this take place in? I guarantee no Black person alive right now says “we’s.” Zero percent.

Screen Shot 2016-08-25 at 3.16.10 PM

2:03-2:06 – White love. There’s nothing better. A montage of how the Black guy made White people happy. There’s nothing better. Also, I think his head is stuck to her face.

And is this Brad Paisley music giving us the soundtrack? The “Accidental Racist” guy? LL Cool J didn’t die in a Respectability Fire for us to still have to watch movies like these. I can’t wait to go see this movie and leave out yelling at homeless people to stop making excuses and find more White friends to get their lives together.

Shoot me.

Mentally Unstable Broadway Dancer Charged With Murder Of His Boyfriend

Murderers come in many different forms…

Via NYDailyNews

The Broadway dancer charged with murdering his boyfriend in the Bronx — before leaving a series of chilling Facebook posts where he proclaimed to be God — has “severe mental health issues,” his lawyer said Thursday.

Marcus Bellamy, 32, charged with strangling his partner Bernardo Almonte in a W. 174th St. walk-up, has a serious — but undiagnosed — condition, lawyer Martin Goldberg said after Bellamy appeared in Bronx Supreme Court.

“I’m no psychiatrist, but it’s clear that he suffers from severe mental health issues that have not been addressed,” Goldberg told the Daily News after the hearing.

The report goes on to say:

Bellamy, a backup dancer in 2011’s “Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark,” is charged with fatally choking Almonte inside a Morris Heights home last Friday.

Moments after the afternoon killing, Bellamy appeared to confess to the crime on his Facebook page, writing, “Forgive me. I did it for love.”

In another post, the dancer wrote, “I am God. I give life and can take it away.”

Domestic violence is not reserved for straight folks. This guy needs a prison cell and a psych eval…ASAP.
