Whew Lawd! The Hottest Thirst Traps Of The Week, Vol. 87

Posted by famousradio — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 19:04 GMT

Thirst trap o'clock Source: Gilbert Flores/Billboard via Getty Images Back at it again with this week's hottest thirst traps that dropped during an eventful week dominated by Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good tying the knot in a backyard ceremony, UMG WOP WOP WOPPing Drake in spicy response to 'Not Like Us' lawsuit, Teyana Taylor going off about her messy divorce saga with Iman Shumpert, Mo'Nique publicly dragging Tyler Perry AGAIN, and more. As promised, we've compiled swoon-worthy stunners (and our thirst-trappin' celebrity faves) with Porsha Williams making her return to the series as things heat up on RHOA. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Porsha Williams (@porsha4real) The outspoken star recently went back and forth with Married To Medicine star Toya Bush-Harris who shaded the RHOA cast about fraud alerts on their face cards. According to The Blast, Bush-Harris's assessment of the newly rebooted RHOA season 16 has ruffled some feathers. During an interview with Page Six, she didn't hesitate to give her opinion about the cast's physical appearances. "It's a lot of Botox and fillers," she said. "Which, I am not mad. I saw Nicki Minaj on there; I saw Lil Kim." Watch Video on YouTube Seemingly catching Bush-Harris's comments on social media, Williams expressed her disappointment with the M2M star. "To be honest, the girls from [RHOA] has always supported the other Black shows on the network, and for me, definitely Married To Medicine and to see her as a black woman talk about features and pick apart Atlanta is really kind of sad," she wrote in the comment section of The Neighborhood Talk's social media page. "We may shade one another on our show, but we keep it in-house. We haven't been out here tearing down someone else's. Let's do better. Let's all win." As expected, Toya quickly clapped back with more cast members from both shows jumping into the mean girl melee. "Girl, stop! You called another Black woman ashy!" referring to Williams' Season 5 blowup with Kenya Moore. "Not to mention, you were a tad shady to our franchise under a [Phaedra Parks] post. You and I both know how these interviews go. I definitely stated a balanced view of the good and bad. Don't jump on the bandwagon." She also clarified her comments about Nicki Minaj, stating that she is a fan of the rapper, "It's not an insult to say that these girls are trying to mimic her look with Botox and fillers."

Michelle Obama Explains Why She Stepped Back From The Political Spotlight: 'We've Done Enough'

Posted by famousradio — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 15:04 GMT

Amid rumors about her marriage being on the rocks, Michelle Obama reveals the real reason she stepped back from politics. Source: Marcus Ingram / Getty During a recent appearance on Kylie Kelce's Not Gonna Lie podcast, the former first lady explained to listeners why she is "not interested in politics" following her husband, Barack Obama's, presidential tenure. "I was so glad when we got out of the White House," the 61-year-old admitted, going on to reference her daughters in being a big reason she wanted to leave. "I wanted them to have the freedom of not having the eyes of the world on them," she said of daughters Malia, 26, and Sasha, 23. "They still are dealing with paparazzi and being who they are and trying to carve out their own identity." That's the reason why Obama emphasized, "When people ask me, would I ever run [for office], the answer is no." She added that those wondering "have absolutely no idea the sacrifice that your kids make when your parents are in that role." "Not only am I not interested in politics in that way but the thought of putting my girls back into that spotlight when they are just now establishing themselves - we've done enough," the former first lady added. As far as Michelle is concerned, the "question [has been] asked and answered" and is "never gonna happen...They've already served their time. ... It would be unthinkable. Nope." TLDR: It's not happening, y'all. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce (@nglwithkylie) The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times author's comments come as headlines about her marriage continue to pile up. Obama's absence from her husband's side during recent outings-including former President Jimmy Carter's funeral and President Trump's inauguration-have caused commotion around the status of their marriage. The former lawyer also missed the Los Angeles Clippers game Barack attended earlier this month, further fueling rumors of a rocky relationship. However, in the face of these headlines, both Obamas have hit back with lovey-dovey social media uploads over and over again.

Erasure: Jackie Robinson's Army History 'Mistakenly' Removed From Dept. Of Defense Website Over Trum

Posted by famousradio — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 12:57 GMT

Source: Afro Newspaper/Gado / Getty Jackie Robinson was a lot more than a civil rights icon and baseball legend; he was an American citizen who believed in making sacrifices to fight enemies both domestically and abroad. It is well documented that Robinson was the first African-American to stand at home plate for an at-bat in a Major League Baseball professional baseball game. What's talked about less is Robinson's military career where he trained as an officer, was assigned to a tank regiment, and rose to earn the rank of Second Lieutenant. Even while in service to a country that would rather see him hanging from a tree than to thank him for his service, Robinson still stood ten toes down for Black civil rights (he was once under court martial for refusing to sit in the back of a bus at Fort Hood in Texas.)

Source: Sports Studio Photos / Getty According to NBC News, that legacy was erased from the Department of Defense website in accordance with Donald Trump's racist and unnecessary anti-DEI crusade. The Pentagon site and all associated social media pages were scrubbed of all mentions of diversity, equity, and inclusion, whether they be photos, videos, or news articles. Says Pentagon Press Secretary John Ullyot: "Discriminatory Equity Ideology is a form of Woke cultural Marxism that has no place in our military. It Divides the force, Erodes unit cohesion and Interferes with the services' core warfighting mission. We are pleased by the rapid compliance across the Department with the directive removing DEI content from all platforms. Conservative clowns using the word "woke" will never not be cringe to the point of potentially breaking teeth.

Source: Bettmann / Getty David Robinson, Jackie's son, released a statement expressing his surprise that the DoD would disrespect his father in this way. "We take great pride in Jackie Robinson's service to our country as a soldier and a sports hero, an icon whose courage, talent, strength of character and dedication contributed greatly to leveling the playing field not only in professional sports but throughout society," said Robinson, who is a Jackie Robinson Foundation board member. "He worked tirelessly on behalf of equal opportunities, in education, business, civic engagement, and within the justice system. A recipient of both the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal, he of course is an American hero." The Pentagon doubled back in its attempt to clean up its spill on aisle 6, as noted by an ESPN article that states press secretary Ullyot's "updated" statement at 2:46 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon. "In the rare cases that content is removed-either deliberately or by mistake-that is out of the clearly outlined scope of the directive, we instruct the components and they correct the content so it recognizes our heroes for their dedicated service alongside their fellow Americans, period." By 3:09pm, the Jackie Robinson information was restored in their original formats. "Mistake," huh? Sure, Jan. The post Erasure: Jackie Robinson's Army History 'Mistakenly' Removed From Dept.

Sources told ET that Majors' mother, who is a pastor, officiated the wedding with Good's mother as the witness. The two matriarchs were on hand to support Majors at the private LA screening of his upcoming film Magazine Dreams.

"My mother's a pastor, and she came from Dallas, where I'm from," said Majors while dishing on the wedding during an appearance on Sherri. "We had my mom come, and she came to the L.A. screening [for Magazine Dreams]. My mother had never been to one of my screenings. We had told her that, 'Hey we're gonna do this thing,' and we did. My mother married us yesterday. Her mother was there."

In December 2023, the actor was convicted of third-degree assault and harassment and ordered to complete a 52-week in-person domestic violence intervention program. Reflecting on their early relationship, Good previously told People that Majors initially urged her not to pursue a romance with him. "He wanted to protect me," she explained. But Good, no stranger to adversity, stood her ground. "I was like, 'My love, first of all, you're dealing with a Black Leo. And also, I grew up in this industry. The things that I've been through gave me the bandwidth to love other people, regardless.'" Do you think Jonathan and Meagan will be together forever? Are you planning on supporting Magazine Dreams?

So Sickening: Firefighter Arrested, Accused Of Sharing Crime Scene Photo Of Black Twins Found Dead O

Posted by famousradio — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 18:33 GMT

On Tuesday, we reported that hikers discovered the bodies of Qaadir Malik and Naazir Rahim Lewis, Black twin brothers from Lawrenceville, Georgia, at the summit of Bell Mountain in Hiawassee, Ga., on March 8, with fatal bullet wounds. Now, there's a shocking update concerning someone who sickeningly crossed the line. Source: GoFundMe / GoFundMe As if the tragedy of the Lewis twins wasn't already sad, horrific, and infuriating enough, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's preliminary investigation determined their deaths were the result of a murder-suicide, something their family denies. Adding to the outrage, authorities have arrested a man for allegedly taking and publicly sharing a crime scene photo related to their case. According to 11 Alive, 42-year-old Scott Kerlin, a volunteer firefighter in Towns County and a resident of Hiawassee, was arrested Monday night and charged with misdemeanor obstruction for allegedly sharing the photos he somehow obtained illegally, although it's unclear how he allegedly got the photo and how he allegedly shared it. Apparently, though, Kerlin is accused of sharing the photo with school students in Towns County. ( function() { var func = function() { var iframe = document.getElementById('wpcom-iframe-9f5a21c6231691dc65c747acc2d94b93') if ( iframe ) { iframe.onload = function() { iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( { 'msg_type': 'poll_size', 'frame_id': 'wpcom-iframe-9f5a21c6231691dc65c747acc2d94b93' }, "https:\/\/embeds.go.ione.nyc" ); } } // Autosize iframe var funcSizeResponse = function( e ) { var origin = document.createElement( 'a' ); origin.href = e.origin; // Verify message origin if ( 'embeds.go.ione.nyc' !== origin.host ) return; // Verify message is in a format we expect if ( 'object' !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type ) return; switch ( e.data.msg_type ) { case 'poll_size:response': var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id ); if ( iframe && '' === iframe.width ) iframe.width = '100%'; if ( iframe && '' === iframe.height ) iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height ); return; default: return; } } if ( 'function' === typeof window.addEventListener ) { window.addEventListener( 'message', funcSizeResponse, false ); } else if ( 'function' === typeof window.attachEvent ) { window.attachEvent( 'onmessage', funcSizeResponse ); } } if (document.readyState === 'complete') { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ } else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( 'DOMContentLoaded', func, false ); } else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( 'onreadystatechange', func ); } } )(); "Towns County Schools was made aware that a crime scene photo had been shared with some of our students on Monday," Towns County Schools Superintendent Darren Berrong said in a statement. "In collaboration with local law enforcement, our administration promptly initiated an investigation and took appropriate measures to ensure the photo was no longer in the possession of any students. The students involved were unaware of the illegal nature of how the photo was distributed and were fully cooperative with the administration during the investigation. Due to FERPA regulations, we are unable to comment on specific student discipline matters." Suffice it to say, the twins' family members - who have rejected the GBI's initial theory that they died by murder-suicide - are understandably furious about it. From 11 Alive: "It's scary. I'm literally scared to go on social media. I'm scared to pick up my phone because I know if I see that picture, I already know I'll have a heart attack," Samira Brawner, the twins' aunt, said. Yasmine Brawner, another aunt of the twins, said, "Just imagine if their mother sees that-like, that would really destroy her. She's already going through a lot." Sabria Brawner, another aunt to the twins, condemned the violation of privacy. "It's very disrespectful to this family. I feel like our privacy was invaded." The twins' uncle Rahim Brawner, who has been a first responder for more than 10 years, pointed out, "We know that's one of the number one rules is not to take pictures and share them." Indeed, the family of Qaadir Malik and Naazir Rahim Lewis are going through enough Hell right now that the last thing they need is some thoughtless, heartless, unempathetic fool treating their deaths like entertainment fodder to be shared like memes on the internet. They're still fighting to find out exactly what happened to the twins, who were supposed to be on a flight to Boston at the time they were found dead on a remote mountain in Georgia. Having the twins' deaths mocked in this way is salt in a wound that is still fresh. People should be better than this.

So Much Mess: Jess Hilarious Confronts Her 'The Breakfast Club' Co-Hosts On-Air Amid Loren LoRosa Co

Posted by famousradio — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 17:17 GMT

Jess Hilarious doesn't feel like she's on the same team with co-hosts Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy of The Breakfast Club-and she's letting her co-workers know that there's nothing "hilarious" about changes and "high school" antics" that blindsided her after she returned from maternity leave. "I feel played with!" the Baltimore-bred comedian declared, amid recent comparisons between her and journalist Loren LoRosa, who critics have branded "a better fit" for the show. Source: Kevin Winter / Getty On Tuesday, the comedienne, who recently returned to the show after maternity leave, took to Instagram to express her frustrations with Charlamagne, LoRosa, and DJ Envy on March 18. She claimed she felt "played with" and unsupported by the trio after Corey Holcomb accused her of lacking talent and suggested that her temporary replacement, LoRosa, was better suited for the radio show. On the March 12 episode of The Corey Holcomb 5150 Show, Holcomb boldly stated that Jess "wasn't talented" and that LoRosa, who had been filling in as her temporary replacement, was better suited for the role because she knew how to "fit in" with Charlamagne and DJ Envy. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) Naturally, Jess Hilarious took offense, and she ranted about it on Instagram Live. "We supposed to be a team, but not one person comes to my defense at all, ever, with this online sh*t," the comedian told fans on Wednesday as the clip of Holcomb went viral across the internet. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Watch Live Bitez (@livebitez) Then, Jess speculated why former Breakfast Club show host Angela Yee may have left the radio platform, pondering if it was due to similar drama and miscommunication. Jess took over from Yee in 2024. "Angela Yee ain't that motherf*cking crazy. Not as crazy as n***** try to make her out to be," she continued. "There's a reason that lady wanted to leave that show. I don't know how she did that sh*t for 13 years. I don't give a f**k, you already know what's up with me. I feel played with! I'm gonna play with n*****. I've been quiet a lot... Why don't y'all clear some of this sh*t up for y'all teammate? This sh*t is ran like a high school." In a series of follow-up videos, the broadcast star shared more of her frustrations about the radio show. She confessed that she initially felt threatened by LoRosa, especially after the former TMZ employee was given her popular segment, Jess With The Mess, while she was on maternity leave. While the funny entertainer acknowledged that LoRosa was doing her best with the segment, she felt disrespected by the production team's decision. "I've never hated on shorty... I big up this woman every day. I don't have no reason to hate on this girl...I didn't like her when I came back, she knew it, we had a conversation, because the anger was misplaced." Jess added: "'Nah it ain't even you I don't like, I'm realizing. It's the way these n**gas is doing sh*t up here." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Watch Live Bitez (@livebitez) Explaining more about the "high school" tendencies behind the scenes, Jess went on to complain about the production's choice to keep LoRosa on board after her maternity leave, noting that she had a contract she worked hard to secure. Jess also admitted she wasn't exactly a fan of LoRosa's tendency to "over-talk," hence why she told her co-host to "hush" and "shut up" several times throughout the show. Notably, she claimed that Charlamagne had texted her, suggesting that it would be beneficial for the women to lean into their tension, presumably to generate more drama and boost listener engagement.

Regarding Cory Holcomb, Jess stated she couldn't care less about the comedian, as she already knew his comments were coming from a place of negativity. She claimed that Holcomb had never liked her, particularly after she had a "field day with his a**." Jess added: "That n**** still hurt that I won't accept his apology.

Source: Jarrod Williams / Getty LoRosa kicked off the conversation by saying that she was "so thrown off" by parts of Jess' Instagram Live session but felt like they were on good terms, especially since she had offered Jess plenty of opportunities to talk about whatever she might be feeling. Jess claimed it wasn't that simple and doubled down on her feelings of being unsupported by the group after Holcomb's comments. She felt that no one made an effort to clear up the comments on the show after they went viral, as social media users painted her as a "villain" and jealous of LoRosa. "The issue is the whole narrative. I understand F the comments and F the people and all that. It's not about them. It's about how I'm feeling, too," she told the group holding back tears. LoRosa noted that Jess' "overtalking" comment in her IG Live came as a shock to her because Jess never told her she had a habit of doing so on the show, though the comedian insisted that she did. Explaining her "hush" and "shut up" remarks during their broadcasts, Jess told the newcomer: "I have said 'hush,' 'shut up,' but yo you overtalk, and like I said, I'm not about to be up here fighting for no mic. If I already got the job like, what am I doing? It's four voices, three of us are very opinionated. Me, you, and Charlamagne. I'm not saying Envy don't got no opinion, but he don't jump in every single time there's dead air. You overtalk." Jess felt that LoRosa should have addressed her issues with the comments live on air when they happened, but LoRosa preferred to handle things more professionally. "...The way that I do things, when it comes to my job and my career, that's not what we on, and I told you from the jump I was never gonna give that to you....Regardless you don't got to love me, you don't have to like me, but we're here together. I'm here... We gotta figure this out." The drama is thick! See Jess' full comments below.

Iman Shumpert Insists He Didn't Leak Divorce Details After Teyana Taylor Demands Jail Time For Her E

Posted by famousradio — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 15:38 GMT

Iman Shumpert is fighting back against claims he leaked information about his divorce from Teyana Taylor to the press. Source: Prince Williams / Getty The retired NBA star made a statement through his attorney, Stephen C. Steele, via TMZ Sports on Wednesday. In the declaration, Shumpert vehemently denies his ex's allegations that he dropped bits and pieces of information about their split to the media in order to gain interest in his new rap music. Last week, several tweets surfaced sharing that Teyana received four properties, a seven-figure payout, a $300,000 Maybach, a $70,000 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and a tour bus in the divorce that was settled in 2024.

"Mr. Shumpert adamantly denies that he has provided any information to any media." The statement continues, "Specifically, but without limitations, he denies that he leaked any information which may have served as the basis for the multiple news reports preceding the trial of this matter." In court documents on Tuesday, Taylor accused Shumpert of playing a role in new media reports that she said falsely characterized how their divorce ended. The R&B singer was so upset by her allegations that she requested the judge in their case throw her ex behind bars for 20 days, also asking for him to be hit with fines to teach him a lesson. However, in Steele's statement, he emphasized several times that Shumpert had committed no wrongdoing. "As agreed by the parties, and as ordered by the court, he has not, and he will not disclose any of the contents of the now-sealed file," Steele said, "nor will he reveal or discuss the substance or content of any orders or pleadings." The attorney added that Shumpert vows to "continue to comply with the court order sealing the details of this divorce. "He has absolutely no interest in discussing any of these private and personal details with any media or any parties not directly involved with this case," he concluded. Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor first met way back in 2011 and began dating two years later in 2013. They got engaged in 2015 and tied the knot a year later, welcoming daughter Iman Tayla "Junie" Shumpert Jr. in 2015 and Rue Rose Shumpert in 2020. The singer ultimately filed for divorce in January 2023.

Congratulations are in order for Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good! Just four months after announcing their engagement, the couple secretly exchanged vows Tuesday in an intimate ceremony officiated by Majors' mother. Source: Alberto Rodriguez / Getty Entertainment Tonight reports that the couple wed during a "small private wedding" held at their Los Angeles home in front of their mothers. Sources told ET that Majors' mother, who is a pastor, was the officiant, and Good's mother was the witness. The two moms attended a private Los Angeles screening on Monday with the couple for Majors' latest film, Magazine Dreams.

Source: MICHAEL TRAN / Getty On Monday, Rolling Stone released previously unearthed audio of Majors admitting to strangling his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. According to the outlet, the conversation was obtained in the aftermath of a days-long fight between Majors and his ex in September 2022. The Creed III actor was living with Jabbari in London as he filmed the second season of the Disney+ series Loki, which is when he allegedly became angry. According to a since-settled civil lawsuit filed by Jabbari last April, Majors allegedly slammed her into a car, dragged her back inside their home, and strangled her. On the audio tape, Jabbari confronted Majors about the alleged attack in the following days and admitted that he "aggressed her." Meagan Good & Jonathan Majors Have Been Together Since 2023 Good, 43, and Majors, 35, first sparked romance rumors in May 2023 and confirmed their engagement in November 2024 at the EBONY Power 100 Gala. According to Good, they first crossed paths two years ago in a unisex bathroom at an event when she gave him encouraging words about his work. After going public with their relationship, Good remained a steadfast presence during Majors' criminal trial after his March 2023 arrest for allegedly attacking Grace Jabbari, who sustained a fractured finger and a cut to the back of her ear. In December 2023, the actor was convicted of third-degree assault and harassment and ordered to complete a 52-week in-person domestic violence intervention program. Reflecting on their early relationship, Good previously told PEOPLE that Majors initially urged her not to pursue a romance with him. "He wanted to protect me," she explained. But Good, no stranger to adversity, stood her ground. "I was like, 'My love, first of all, you're dealing with a Black Leo. And also, I grew up in this industry. The things that I've been through gave me the bandwidth to love other people, regardless.'" Congrats to Meagan Good and Jonathan Majors! The post Congrats, Kang & Coretta!

Mo'Nique Pens Open Letter To Tyler Perry Hinting His Angie Stone Funeral Comments Are Hypocritical,

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 21:32 GMT

Mo'Nique is far from finished calling out Tyler Perry. After the mogul condemned the industry's mistreatment of Angie Stone, Mo'Nique fired back with an open letter and leaked audio (again), accusing Perry of treating her the exact same way. Source: Steve Granitz/FilmMagic/ Randy Shropshire/Getty Images for Critics Ch / Getty As previously reported, Perry spoke at the late singer's funeral and blasted the predatory music industry for failing to compensate the songstress for her talent adequately. The director said he was "angry" about it and ranted about the money owed to her before she passed. "Y'all got to forgive me because I'm angry at the way she was treated. I did not know all the things that she was going through [until] recently," he said about recently resurfaced claims that Stone was owed millions in unpaid royalties. "To think that this woman was in the business for all of these years, and there's a difference between performing because you want to and performing because you have to. "All of those years, all of those songs, all of that money that was owed to her - where is it? It's wrong, this is wrong, and I'm tired of seeing us struggle and go through things and work hard and not reap the benefits of what we were supposed to reap," he added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by VibeMagazine (@vibemagazine) Unfortunately for Tyler Perry, Mo'Nique heard his comments and took to Instagram to call him out, accusing him of hypocrisy due to his past mistreatment of her.

Source: Steve Granitz/FilmMagic/ Randy Shropshire/Getty Images for Critics Ch / Getty In her letter, the actress-who has consistently claimed that Perry, Oprah, and Lee Daniels "blackballed" her-revealed that she and her husband, Sidney Hicks, have audio of Perry admitting his wrongdoing and promising to apologize. "You condemned Angie's mistreatment but labeled me "difficult to work with"-despite never actually working with me. How can you advocate for fairness while perpetuating the same treatment? We have audio of you admitting you were wrong," wrote Mo'Nique. 2. You asked, "Where's the money she's owed?" Well, where's the public apology you promised me in 2016? The false narrative you fueled blackballed me, costing me tens of millions. Where's the restitution for that? 3. You spoke about being "tired" of Black artists not getting what they deserve. Yet, you asked me to promote Precious for free-without a contract, without compensation. How does that align with your message? 4. You preached about treating "children of God" with care. As a man of faith, where is your responsibility to act with love and truth? You assured me of an apology years ago, yet it has never come. Unlike the music industry, which you rightly criticized, we have audio documentation of your actions. Shouldn't you be held accountable, too? I truly hope your words at Angie Stone's funeral inspire you to right the wrongs done to my family and me. You have the power to do so. As you often reference scripture, let me leave you with this: "What will it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul?" (Mark 8:36) We await your response." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mo'nique (@therealmoworldwide) Actress Leaks Audio Of Tyler Perry Phone Call To further emphasize her point, Mo'Nique leaked a recorded phone call with the filmmaker, which she had previously leaked in 2020, amid Will Smith's apology to actress Janet Hubert. In the audio, Tyler can be heard telling Mo'Nique that "it's heartbreaking" to hear that he upset her. He also noted that he wrote something with her in mind but ultimately decided not to send it because his distributor, Lionsgate, the same studio that distributed Precious that Mo'Nique claims, tried to get her to do promotional work for the film for free. "I just watched your podcast and it really broke my heart and I feel you," said Tyler Perry in the call. "For me, I'm not anyone that wants to hurt or upset anybody especially you. It's just heartbreaking, I don't ever want you to think that I'm trying to blackball. I had written something and I was thinking,' Should I sent this to her?'-but Lionsgate would've had a fit." Later in the phone call, he speaks to Mo'Nique's husband, Sidney Hicks, and says he'll address Mo's blackball allegations on his next press tour. While he didn't do that, he never outright said in the phone call that he'd apologize. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk) Mo'Nique Made Amends With Lee Daniels, Still Upset With Oprah & Tyler Perry As previously reported, Mo'Nique and Lee Daniels made amends in 2022 at a stop on her comedy tour. After the two hugged, Lee publicly apologized. "Sometimes in life you get caught up," said Daniels. "I am so sorry for hurting you in any way that I did, Y'all, and she was my best friend - my best friend. Y'all think that Precious was just ... That was God working, through both of us." As a mea culpa, Mo'Nique was cast in Lee Daniels' 2024 Netflix thriller, Deliverance. She has yet to bury the hatchet with Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey.

In HBCU excellence news... Source: Adriana Sim Atlanta recently hosted The GameChangHER Brunch & Awards, a powerful celebration of Black women in sports, leadership, and community impact who are not only breaking barriers but also ensuring the doors stay open for those coming behind them. Recently held at the Renaissance Atlanta Airport Gateway Hotel, this event stood as a highlight of the SWAC Basketball Championship Tournament, marking the first time the tournament was hosted in Atlanta. With that shift came a sense of grandeur and significance and an undeniable reminder that Black women in sports deserve their flowers, their power, and their platforms. Backed by Insights Marketing and the Atlanta Fulton County Recreation Authority (AFCRA), the brunch gathered HBCU athletes, executives, policymakers, and industry leaders for a morning filled with well-deserved recognition and thought-provoking conversation. ESPN's first Black female play-by-play commentator, Tiffany Greene, a woman who embodies what it means to be the first but not the last, hosted the event.

There was extensive decor and activations reflecting the celebration of Black excellence in sports, beauty, and business, with CurlDaze Haircare and Social House Vodka showing up as proud supporters of HBCU culture.

"I'm excited to be here and recognized as a woman in sports and for the work I'm doing. I always say politics and sports are the same-it's all about who's writing the rules and what are the rules of the game."

She then welcomed SWAC Commissioner Charles McClelland, who emphasized just how significant this event was for the conference and the Black women leading it. "This is significantly important to us. Not because they are honoring my boss-though that's always a good thing-but because they are honoring leaders. Not only in this state but this city and nation. I know it's Women's History Month, but every day is Women's History Month. I say this because one of your honorees, Adeenah Pooler, she is our Senior Associate. The SWAC has been around since 1920 and never has there been a female number two in the SWAC and as soon as I get run over by a bus, she's going to be number one."

Courtside Catastrophe: Tracy Morgan Reveals What Really Caused His Medical Emergency At Madison Squa

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 17:49 GMT

Tracy Morgan opens up about what really happened after he was seen getting visibly ill while sitting courtside watching the New York Knicks. Source: Taylor Hill / Getty The 30 Rock alum has had his fair share of medical scares over the years, so fans are understandably concerned about Morgan's health. After photos and video of the comedian throwing up while sitting front row at Madison Square Garden circulated social media, a lot of people were worried that a bigger issue was underlying. But, luckily, according to Tracy, the cause of his courtside catastrophe was just a case of food poisoning. Photos of the incident show Morgan vomiting straight onto the court before being wheeled away by medical staff in the third quarter of the game between the Knicks and the Miami Heat. Fans all over X speculated about what the medical issue could be, hoping it's not as serious as setbacks he's suffered in the past. So, in true Tracy fashion, he took to social media to crack some jokes about the incident and inform everyone of the real culprit. "Thank you for all your concern! I'm doing OK now and doctors say it was food poisoning," the 56-year-old wrote from his hospital bed Tuesday, posting a picture of him showing off his Knicks phone case. "Appreciate my MSG family for taking such good care of me and I need to shout out the crew that had to clean that up. Appreciate you! " He added, "More importantly, the Knicks are now 1-0 when I throw up on the court so maybe I'll have to break it out again in the playoffs ?? #goknicks." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tracy Morgan (@tracymorgan) Luckily, the incident didn't seem to interfere with Morgan's invitations to future games, with MSG releasing a statement in response to his illness. "We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside," a spokesperson for Madison Square Garden told The Post in a statement. Knicks star Josh Hart also sent his well-wishes to the comedian, telling the outlet, "We hope everything is good with Tracy Morgan, avid lifetime Knicks fan, so prayers go out to him and his health and safety."

"Once your divorce is finalized, are we going to date exclusively again?" asked Incognito. Mia didn't hesitate to put the ball in his court, replying: "Um, I would like to. Are you gonna ask me to?" Then, it was Incognito's turn to play coy. "Maybe. We'll see once the divorce is finalized."

Source: Reach Media / Urban One The housewife then candidly admitted that jumping into dating while separated from her husband, Gordon Thornton, may have been premature. According to Mia, introducing Incognito into the public eye so quickly might have been a misstep. "I should have given Gordon [Thornton] space and time, maybe a whole season in between, before introducing you to the world. But you've been around for 22 years, so for me, it wasn't like you were a new dude." Still, despite the public scrutiny, Mia once again remained firm in her stance that a supposed "love triangle" is nonexistent. "There is no trifecta," said Mia. "G and I have been over for over two years. TV puts a time stamp on things, so it feels new to everyone else, but we've been sleeping separately since 2023."

Labor laws had kicked in at that point." She also shaded her co-star, Gizelle Bryant, who she claims wouldn't have spoken to her the way she did if security wasn't present. As previously reported, Gizelle told Mia that she thought she was a "terrible mother" because of her actions this season. "Let's be real, Gizelle knows daggone well she would NOT speak to me that way if there was no security. She only does it because of the platform. If we were outside? She would get her head knocked off. That's why I got up and left. I was the bigger woman, and I exited left." More on the flip!

No One Is Coming To Save You: Black Ohio Town Organizes Armed Security Group Following Nazi Rally

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 15:15 GMT

Source: Brett Carlsen / Getty The age of Trump has seemingly reinvigorated some of the worst white people alive in the form of Neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and violent bigots drunk off "patriotism." These groups pose a real threat to Black Americans, the LGBTQ community, and to many other minority groups as well. Recently, a Nazi rally in Lincoln Heights, Ohio, also reinvigorated a community of people who are willing to put it all on the line for a righteous cause. According to an NBC News report, the majority Black town has organized their own protective unit to stave off the return of the Third Reich. The Lincoln Heights Safety and Watch (LHSW) program began on Feb. 7 after white men with shaved heads spewed racist slurs and paraded flags emblazoned with swastikas around the town with a population of just over 3,000. A man who would only be identified as "Jay" spoke to this closeness, saying, "We have a very tight community, so all of our kids know us." Watch Video on YouTube What alarmed the Black community in Lincoln Heights as much as the Nazi jubilee was the fact that the police department gave their tacit consent. Both the Evendale Police Department and the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office were present on the day of the rally, but no arrests were made, and no names or notes were taken. Evendale Mayor Richard Finan excused officers' egregious apathy, saying that the priority was "de-escalation" to avoid violence. Sounds like he's scared of the Nazis. But when it comes to policing Black folks, de-escalation is nowhere to be found. Funny how that works. A spokesperson for LHSW named Daronce Daniels told NBC that the community decided that they were on their own in regards to their safety. While the rifles, masks, and tactical gear may look intimidating, Daniels says their presence is comforting to many who live in Lincoln Heights. "I've never felt safer as a Black man in my community than I have right now," Daniels said. "These are my friends. These are my cousins, my brothers, my sisters, my aunties." A local business owner named Eric Ruffin says the Nazis harassed him while he was driving home from work. "What I don't understand is how I can be standing here in America in 2025 and somebody can walk up to my window with a swastika and have guns and call me the N-word and law enforcement watch," Ruffin said. We don't understand it either, brotha.

Family Disputes Police's 'Murder-Suicide' Theory In Twin Brothers' Mysterious Mountain Summit Deaths

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 12:48 GMT

What Happened To Qaadir Malik And Naazir Rahim Lewis? That's the question that's being asked after the bodies of two Black twin brothers were discovered on a Georgia mountain with fatal bullet wounds. Source: GoFundMe / GoFundMe The Georgia Bureau of Investigations said in a statement published Sunday that "the preliminary investigation reveals the deaths to be a murder-suicide." However, as in many cases where young Black people die under mysterious circumstances - and the ruling that they died by suicide seems to come all too soon and conveniently - the victims' family members aren't buying it. According to NBC News, the 19-year-olds were found by hikers at the summit of Bell Mountain in Hiawassee, Ga., on March 8. Curiously, they were both supposed to be in Boston the day before their bodies were discovered. From NBC: The pair, from Lawrenceville, Georgia, had planned to travel to Boston to see friends and were due to fly at 7 a.m. on March 7. Authorities say they never made the flight, and their bodies were found 90 miles away from their home in an area their family says they had never visited. The twins' family have said the police explanation makes no sense, arguing the boys were close and had no history of conflict. "We want answers, we want to know exactly what happened to the twins," Samira Brawner, an aunt, told WXIA. The family said they were bewildered as to why the pair ended up on an unfamiliar mountain that is popular with hikers and tourists and not far from the North Carolina state line. The twin's plane tickets were still in their wallets. "How did they end up out in the mountains? They don't hike out there, they've never been out there," Brawner said. "They don't know anything about Hiawassee, Georgia. They never even heard of Bell Mountain, so how did they end up right there?" Rahim Brawner, the twins' uncle, told NBC affiliate WXIA of Atlanta that the two were "very protective of each other." "They love each other," he said. "They're like inseparable. I couldn't imagine them hurting each other because I've never seen them get into a fistfight before." The GBI said in its statement that the autopsies on the twins had been completed, but the medical examiner's official ruling has not been released because further forensic testing is needed - which probably should have given the bureau pause before publicly indicating that their cause of death was a murder-suicide. "We knew right away that wasn't true," Samira said. Yasmine Brawner, another aunt who launched a GoFundMe page to raise funds for funeral expenses for the twins, also expressed doubt that the two brothers killed each other or themselves. "They had a huge support system. We know them. They wouldn't do anything like this. To say they did this to each other? No. Something happened in those mountains, and we want answers," she said. "In recent new reports, it was claimed that they took their own lives," Yasmine also wrote on the GoFundMe page. "My nephews wouldn't do this! They came from a family of love, and twins wanted so much for their future, they had dreams of starting their very own clothing line." From Sandra Bland to Dennoriss Richardson, when Black people die under mysterious, often inexplicable circumstances, and the public, including their family members, are told they committed suicide and nothing more, it's unreasonable to expect us to simply accept it. Indeed, we all want and should demand answers until we're satisfied the truth has come to light. We know far too much about America to think any other way. If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988, text "STRENGTH" to the Crisis Text Line at 741741 or go to 988lifeline.org.

Universal Music Group has filed its first court response to Drake's defamation lawsuit over Kendrick Lamar's diss track "Not Like Us," and it's filled with not subtle shade towards Complain Papi. Source: Prince Williams / Getty In a motion filed Monday, March 17, the company is seeking to dismiss the lawsuit, calling the case "no more than Drake's attempt to save face" after losing a rap beef. According to reports from Billboard, attorneys for the music company insisted that Drake's allegations against UMG were "meritless," claiming that he took the issue to court because he had been publicly embarrassed. "Plaintiff, one of the most successful recording artists of all time, lost a rap battle that he provoked and in which he willingly participated," UMG's lawyers write in the filing. "Instead of accepting the loss like the unbothered rap artist he often claims to be, he has sued his own record label in a misguided attempt to salve his wounds." Universal also noted in the filing that the Canadian rapper leveled his own "hyperbolic insults" and "vitriolic allegations" during the same exchange of songs, accusing Kendrick of domestic abuse and even questioning whether he was really the father of his son. "Drake has been pleased to use UMG's platform to promote tracks leveling similarly incendiary attacks at Lamar," the company's attorneys pointed out in the filing. "But now, after losing the rap battle, Drake claims that 'Not Like Us' is defamatory. It is not." Drake's attorney Michael J. Gottlieb issued a statement to Billboard on Monday, in which he called the company's filiing an attempt to distract from the truth. "UMG wants to pretend that this is about a rap battle in order to distract its shareholders, artists and the public from a simple truth: a greedy company is finally being held responsible for profiting from dangerous misinformation that has already resulted in multiple acts of violence," Gottlieb said in his statement. "This motion is a desperate ploy by UMG to avoid accountability, but we have every confidence that this case will proceed and continue to uncover UMG's long history of endangering, abusing and taking advantage of its artists."

Source: Cole Burston / Getty In May 2024, Lamar dropped his diss track "Not Like Us," calling Drake as a "certified pedophile," among other claims. Much to Drake's dismay, the song became a chart-topping hit, won multiple Grammy awards, and served as the main event of Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show in February. Before that, though, Drake filed a lawsuit against UMG over the song, claiming the label artificially boosting the track's popularity. The lawsuit also alleges that the label "waged a campaign" against its Drake to spread a "malicious narrative" about him that the company knew to be false. In its response on Monday, UMG argues that the lyrics to the Compton rapper's song are very obviously the kind of free speech that are shielded from defamation lawsuits by the First Amendment. "Diss tracks are a popular and celebrated art form centered around outrageous insults, and they would be severely chilled if Drake's suit were permitted to proceed," the company wrote. "Hyperbolic and metaphorical language is par for the course in diss tracks - indeed, Drake's own diss tracks employed imagery at least as violent." UMG cites Drake's public support for a 2022 petition criticizing prosecutors for using rap lyrics as evidence in criminal cases. That letter criticized prosecutors for treating lyrics as literal statements of fact, which is what Drake seems to be doing in his lawsuit against the company. "As Drake recognized, when it comes to rap, 'the final work is a product of the artist's vision and imagination'," UMG's lawyers write. "Drake was right then and is wrong now. The complaint's unjustified claims against UMG are no more than Drake's attempt to save face for his unsuccessful rap battle with Lamar. The court should grant UMG's motion and dismiss the complaint with prejudice."

The Insulting Truth: Don Lemon Tells Bill Maher That There Are No 'Rational Black MAGA' Voters, Offe

Posted by famousradio — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 20:48 GMT

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Don Lemon has never been one to bite his tongue and that has gotten him into trouble over the years both at work and on social media and his latest hot take is surely to ruffle plenty right-wing feathers. The former CNN lead anchor recently appeared on Bill Maher's Club Random podcast where the two discussed everything from his unceremonious departure from the aforementioned news network, the modern media landscape, being a gay Black man, and politics of all sorts. One piece of that conversation is gaining significant traction online and eliciting cringey reactions from sunken place negroes and disingenuous caucasians alike...

We hope they are offended! What they should be is ashamed but they aren't and that's the problem. Peep the salty reaction from this self-hating blue check Twitter customer. ( function() { var func = function() { var iframe = document.getElementById('wpcom-iframe-f34741980ff605c568a955307274dadd') if ( iframe ) { iframe.onload = function() { iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( { 'msg_type': 'poll_size', 'frame_id': 'wpcom-iframe-f34741980ff605c568a955307274dadd' }, "https:\/\/embeds.go.ione.nyc" ); } } // Autosize iframe var funcSizeResponse = function( e ) { var origin = document.createElement( 'a' ); origin.href = e.origin; // Verify message origin if ( 'embeds.go.ione.nyc' !== origin.host ) return; // Verify message is in a format we expect if ( 'object' !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type ) return; switch ( e.data.msg_type ) { case 'poll_size:response': var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id ); if ( iframe && '' === iframe.width ) iframe.width = '100%'; if ( iframe && '' === iframe.height ) iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height ); return; default: return; } } if ( 'function' === typeof window.addEventListener ) { window.addEventListener( 'message', funcSizeResponse, false ); } else if ( 'function' === typeof window.attachEvent ) { window.attachEvent( 'onmessage', funcSizeResponse ); } } if (document.readyState === 'complete') { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ } else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( 'DOMContentLoaded', func, false ); } else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( 'onreadystatechange', func ); } } )(); In my opinion, these are the types of Black folks who use their disdain for the Democrat party and progressives as an argument in favor of a Republican party who wouldn't pee on fire to put them out. There's not a degree offered at a single university in the world that would make this argument appear intelligent.

The part that they are too melanin-deficient to understand is that being a Black MAGA does not mean that you are not Black anymore. Quite the opposite, Black MAGAs couldn't possibly be Blacker which is why it's so confounding that they believe siding with conservative whites will inoculate them from racism. Strange fruits, indeed.

Kanye West Drops New Song With North West & Diddy, Blames Kustody Kerfuffle On 'Kardashian Mob': 'I'

Posted by famousradio — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 20:19 GMT

Kanye West released a new song featuring daughter North West and Diddy, reigniting a battle for parental rights he says he lost to the "Kardashian mob." "I DON'T WANT TO JUST 'SEE' MY KIDS. I NEED TO RAISE THEM!" he said. Source: Pierre Suu / Getty Once again, Kanye claims he's at the heart of a conspiracy that looks suspiciously similar to FAFO. He took to X, formerly Twitter, with more grievances and wild claims that hit close to home this time. On Saturday, Kanye wrote that Disney and Hulu were part of the "bigger agenda to use the selectively bred Black children to be platforms." That's interesting considering Kanye's latest song seemed to do the same thing with the new song featuring his daughter, North. Kanye claims to have "beef" with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, whom he accuses of trying to take his kids and his freedom. "Yes, I have beef with people that froze my account took my kids away and tried to put me in jail AND ITS STUCK, Kaney wrote. "I NEED TO HAVE SAY SO OF [where] THEY GO TO SCHOOL AND WHO THEIR FRIENDS ARE AND [whose] HOUSES THEY SLEEP OVER [whether] MY DAUGHTERS WEAR LIPSTICK AND PERFUME ALL THESE RIGHTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM ME BY THE KARDASHIAN MOB HULU AND DISNEY AND THE BIGGER AGENDA TO USE THE SELECTIVELY BRED BLACK CHILDREN TO BE PLATFORMS TO INFLUENCE BLACK PEOPLE." His rapid-fire tirade included more bizarre antisemitism and complaints about the custody agreement with Kim Kardashian. Kanye went on to compare the current custody arrangement with Kim to being in prison. "JUST SEEING MY KIDS IS LIKE VISITATION. ITS LIKE IM IN PRISON 'SEEING' MY KIDS I DONT CARE IF I LIVE OR DIE OR IF IM IN JAIL OR FREE AND I ESPECIALLY DONT CARE ABOUT WHATEVER THESE P***Y A** CELEBRITIES GOT TO SAY THAT ARE SLAVES TO THE JEWS," he continued. Ye, why are they in it?

Source: Toni Anne Barson / Getty Following Kim and Kanye's 2022 divorce, they share joint custody and "equal access" to North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. According to Us Weekly, that term applies to their equal parental rights to make decisions. Kanye also pays child support and half the expenses for the children's education and security. Now, Kanye has a new legal battle on his hands. Check out Kanye's threats of "going to war" with Kim over the release of his new song featuring 11-year-old North and Diddy after the flip!

New Audio Reveals Jonathan Majors Admits To Strangling Ex-Girlfriend Grace Jabbari

Unearthed audio is giving more insight into what happened during Jonathan Majors' confrontation with his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. Source: JC Olivera / Getty Following the former Marvel star's attempt to return to Hollywood, new audio has given fans even more information about what happened during the fateful night he was arrested. Majors admitted to strangling his ex-girlfriend in a previously unreleased audio recording obtained by Rolling Stone. According to the outlet, the conversation was obtained in the aftermath of a days-long fight between Majors and his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, in September 2022. The Creed III actor was living with Jabbari in London as he filmed the second season of the Disney+ series Loki, which is when he allegedly became angry. According to a since settled civil lawsuit filed by Jabbari last April, Majors allegedly slammed her into a car, dragged her back inside their home, and strangled her. On the audio tape, Jabbari confronts Majors about the alleged attack in the following days. "I'm ashamed I've ever- " Majors begins, before cutting himself off. "I've never [been] aggressive with a woman before. I've never aggressed a woman - I aggressed you." "You strangled me and pushed me against the car," Jabbari clarifies, which Majors does not deny. "Yes, all those things are under 'aggressed,' yeah." He responds. "That's never happened to me." "Because I said something sarcastically, in your eyes?" Jabbari asks of his reasoning. "Well clearly, it's more than that," Majors says. "Something inside of you," Jabbari responds. "Yeah, towards you," Majors adds before the recording ends. During Majors' criminal trial in 2023, the actor was found guilty of reckless assault in the third degree and harassment. This happened following a different fight between the then couple that took place in New York. Majors was arrested in March 2023 for allegedly attacking Jabbari, who sustained a fractured finger and a cut to the back of her ear. Throughout the trial, Majors insisted that Jabbari was the aggressor in that incident. He was acquitted of the two more serious charges, intentional assault and aggravated harassment.

Former 'ANTM' Contestant Yaya DaCosta Says She's 'Fully Forgiven' Tyra Banks After Experiencing 'Tra

Posted by famousradio — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 16:12 GMT

Actress and former model Yaya DaCosta is opening up about her relationship with Tyra Banks following the latter's viral speech at the ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Awards on Feb. 27- and she had a lot to say about Banks' remarks. Source: Amy Sussman / Getty During the ceremony, Banks, 51, was honored with the first-ever Luminary Spotlight award, where she acknowledged that her iconic modeling competition show, America's Next Top Model (ANTM), didn't always get things "right." Banks admitted that, at times, she and the guest judges may have said "dumb s***" that was controversial and hurtful to the models involved.

Source: Christopher Polk / Getty DaCosta, who had several tense moments with Banks and the judges on the show, shared her thoughts on the speech in a candid Instagram video posted on March 15. Although she attended the ceremony, she missed Banks' speech as she had stepped out to use the bathroom. However, after watching clips of the buzzing moment, the 42-year-old actress and model revealed she initially felt uneasy as the speech resurfaced past "trauma" from her time on the show. DaCosta, who was a runner-up in Cycle 3 of ANTM, was famously criticized by Banks and the judges for wearing African-inspired outfits that were deemed "overbearing" and for being too "natural," as they didn't fit the mold of traditional beauty at the time. DaCosta spoke openly about the harsh criticism years after the show aired. Yaya DaCosta Says She Squashed Her Beef With Tyra Banks

Source: Variety / Getty Thankfully, after some much-needed healing, things have been mended and restored. DaCosta said she ran into Banks after the ceremony was finished and took the opportunity to squash her unresolved frustrations with the industry giant for the first time since working together in 2004. She noted that if she had crossed paths with the celeb years ago, that "the old me would've been feeling heat" or her "heartbeat would have sped up" or she "would've tensed," since "the story that I had been telling for so long is a story of trauma." DaCosta shared that she has since "fully forgiven" Banks and used their recent encounter as an opportunity to have an open chat with the modeling icon. According to DaCosta, they shared a "beautiful conversation" and spent some time reminiscing about their past experiences. Although the Chicago Med star has moved on from the difficult moments she faced on ANTM, she acknowledged the genuine hurt that fans felt after watching certain episodes. In 2020, several old clips from ANTM resurfaced online, sparking widespread backlash against both Banks and the show's creative team. One clip featured Banks advising a contestant to "fix" a gap in her teeth as she wouldn't be "marketable," while another included the now infamous "race swapping" challenge, where some contestants were asked to wear blackface for a photoshoot. Addressing the viral social media clips head-on, DaCosta said that the show's "manipulative editing and weaponization of girls' weaknesses" and "catalyzing body dysmorphia to eating disorders" were wrong and admitted that "the most shocking" experiences she had on the show "did not even air." However, her time on the show did create amazing opportunities and "tools" that she ultimately used to expand her modeling and acting career, including learning how to "regulate" her "nervous system." DaCosta and Banks ended up hugging things out at the end of their heart-to-heart. "I just took her into an embrace ... y'all I held that woman and when it was time for the hug to be over, I held some more. And I took a deep breath because I wanted her to feel what it feels like to be fully forgiven, appreciated and loved," she revealed. She added that the brief yet powerful discussion with Banks gave her an "amazing opportunity" to "finally close that chapter, as I'm beginning a new one." She also claimed that the talk finally set her "free" from the trauma she endured on ANTM.

"...There were 24 cycles of changing the world," the famous muse added. "And I am so excited that I, and so many of us, have opened that door for others to follow. And now my 51-year-old, dimpled, cellulite-covered bigger tummy and 10 million times bigger titties is walking through that door that I opened with all of us behind us on that runway saying, 'Baby, it's just the beginning.'"

#RHOP Exclusive: Keiarna Stewart Speaks On Her First Full-Time Housewife Season & Karen's Shocking S

Posted by famousradio — Sun, 16 Mar 2025 16:29 GMT

As the next season of The Real Housewives of Potomac looms on the horizon, the newest full-time flute holder is chatting with BOSSIP. Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Keiarna Stewart previously made waves as a friend of the show but transitioned into a full-time housewife in season 9, something she's grateful for. "I survived [RHOP], girl!" Keiarna recently told BOSSIP. "Its different when you be that friend and you can jump in and out versus when you're a housewife, and you tell me your business honey, but I survived. It was great. It was a great opportunity for me to step up." The upcoming season promises to be one of the most tumultuous yet, with the absence of the Grand Dame Karen Huger casting a long shadow amid her jail sentence. Keiarna got a taste of that absence at the #RHOP reunion, where she was certain that the OG would eventually show up. "When I first got there, I'm like, 'No, really, where is Karen. I thought Karen was going to come in and drag one of the girls in the fourth quarter, but they were, like, no, she's really not coming."

Source: Clifton Prescod / Bravo The reality of Karen's absence has been difficult for Keiarna, who admitted to BOSSIP that she's truly sad for her friend. "Jail is real, you know? I don't want to see anybody in jail, especially not someone that I love and adore," said Keiarna. "You know, we think of Karen as a fun, big personality, but I also know her as a mother. I know her as a wife. I know her as a friend, so it makes me sad." While Huger's legal troubles have dominated headlines, another scandal broke during the #RHOP reunion. As previously reported, Stacey Rusch's ex-boyfriend, TJ, told Eddie Osefo that he was paid to fake their relationship for the show. The explosive revelation left many cast members and Bravo watchers questioning the authenticity of Rusch's storyline, Keiarna included. "When you find out, you let me know because I'm still waiting on the information," said Keiarna. "I don't know. It was all very interesting. It was always a little fishy, in my opinion. Stacey says otherwise, so we just have to see." Despite the turmoil surrounding the cast, filming for the next season of #RHOP is set to begin. TV Deets reports, however, that instead of a March filming date, the cameras have been pushed back to April. Either way, Keairna is ready for what's to come.

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty "Honey, giddy up, giddy up," she told BOSSIP. "I got my boots strapped honey, I'm laced up to the top, we ready!

Bravo Baddies Beefing! Porsha Williams Responds To Toya Bush-Harris' 'RHOA' Filler Frenzy Claims

Posted by famousradio — Sun, 16 Mar 2025 16:11 GMT

The simmering tension between the casts of Bravo's Real Housewives of Atlanta and Married to Medicine has boiled over. At the heart of the latest drama are Porsha Williams and Toya Bush-Harris, who have been going back and forth online after Bush-Harris shaded the RHOA cast about fraud alerts on their face cards. Somebody call Andy! Source: John Nacion/Mindy Small / Getty According to The Blast, Bush-Harris's assessment of the newly rebooted RHOA season 16 has ruffled some feathers. During an interview with Page Six, she acknowledged enjoying the premiere. However, she was quick to give her opinion about the cast's physical appearances. "It's a lot of Botox and fillers," Bush-Harris said. "Which, I am not mad. I saw Nicki Minaj on there; I saw Lil Kim." Watch Video on YouTube She referenced Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim, suggesting the RHOA cast members were copying their looks. This comment, while perhaps intended as an observation, was seen as a jab by Williams and RHOA fans. Seemingly catching Bush-Harris's comments on social media, Williams expressed her disappointment with the M2M star. She pointed out the RHOA cast's consistent support for other Black shows on the Bravo network, particularly Married to Medicine. "To be honest, the girls from [RHOA] has always supported the other black shows on the network, and for me, definitely Married to Medicine and to see her as a black woman talk about features and pick apart Atlanta is really kind of sad," she wrote in the comment section of The Neighborhood Talk's social media page. "We may shade one another on our show, but we keep it in-house. We haven't been out here tearing down someone else's. Let's do better. Let's all win." Unsurprisingly, Toya quickly clapped back and more cast members from both shows chimed in on the mean girl melee. Check out the rest of the Bravo backlash after the flip!

Angie Stone Funeral: Tyler Perry's Eulogy Condemns Industry Mistreatment, Keke Wyatt Delivers Soul-S

Posted by famousradio — Sat, 15 Mar 2025 18:02 GMT

At Angie Stone's Atlanta funeral, loved ones remembered the R&B icon with an emotional eulogy from Tyler Perry and powerful performances from Anthony Hamilton, Tamela Mann, Kirk Franklin, and Keke Wyatt bringing the house down. Source: Paras Griffin / Getty On Friday, March 14, Word of Faith Cathedral livestreamed the service filled with soulful tributes and heartfelt memories to celebrate Angie Stone's legendary life. In a ceremony fit for a queen, hundreds of roses surrounded her silver and gold coffin. A star-studded lineup took the stage to honor Stone's contributions to multiple music genres, countless careers, and more than 40 years in the music industry. Tyler Perry Wasn't Just Sad About Losing Angie Stone, He Was "Angry" That The Music Industry Cheated Her: "All Of That Money... Where Is It?"

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty As the world gave the Grammy-nominated singer her flowers in death, Tyler Perry called out the predatory music industry for failing to do that in life. The director said he was "angry" that all of her talent and success never paid Stone what she was owed. View this post on Instagram A post shared by VibeMagazine (@vibemagazine) "Y'all got to forgive me because I'm angry at the way she was treated. I did not know all the things that she was going through [until] recently," he said about the recently resurfaced claims of millions in unpaid royalties. "To think that this woman was in the business for all of these years and there's a difference between performing because you want to and performing because you have to," he continued. This point spoke volumes after the 63-year-old died in a car crash on the way home from a performance in Montgomery, Alabama. As BOSSIP previously reported, Stone was traveling with her band in a Mercedes Sprinter when it collided with an 18-wheeler truck early on March 1. The "Wish I Didn't Miss You" singer was the only fatality from the horrible crash. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tyler Perry (@tylerperry) Perry credited the "More Than A Woman" star with inspiring his work throughout the years. He didn't let up on holding the music industry accountable for mistreating Stone. "All of those years, all of those songs, all of that money that was owed to her - where is it? It's wrong, this is wrong, and I'm tired of seeing us struggle and go through things and work hard and not reap the benefits of what we were supposed to reap," he continued. Perry also reflected on Stone's poetic and prophetic words perfectly "preached her own eulogy" in the hit song, "No More Rain." "In her song 'No More Rain,' she says 'my sunshine has come and I'm all cried out, there's no more rain in this cloud," which he compared to people burdened with suffering. "We hold so much pain, we hold so much that it has to come out of our eyes as tears. But the beauty of what she was talking about is when a cloud has no more tears, it dissipates, it's gone," Perry said. The Madea creator's comments echoed Stone's statements from January. "I should have been able to retire 20 years ago with the money I've made," she said in a now-viral video.

Ciara's Prayer Worked Again! Normani and DK Metcalf Spill The Deets On Their Engagement

Posted by famousradio — Sat, 15 Mar 2025 16:35 GMT

Source: Gilbert Flores/Craig Barritt / Getty The internet has been in awe over the engagement of singer Normani to her football boo, DK Metcalf, and it seems we, once again, have Ciara's prayer to thank. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) The beautiful pair's love story began in 2022 and it's poised to last forever. DK and Normani spilled the beans to Vogue in an exclusive interview, 24 hours after the newly minted Pittsburgh Steeler player announced their impending nuptials during a press conference. "I was thinking that I'm in on the secret, and it turned out that everybody else was in on the secret and I had no idea what was going on," Normani said about the surprise proposal. "My whole family's there, his whole family's there, and this is how clueless I was: I run and I hide, as if I'm about to be in on the surprise for his sister-thinking she's behind us and that we're all going to say, 'Surprise!'" Though she noted the presence of flowers in her favorite color, candles, a cellist, and pianist playing, it still took her a minute to connect the dots. "Honestly, I was so overwhelmed, I can't even remember what was said. I just said 'Yes, yes, yes, of course.' The ring was beautiful. My baby did amazing. It was so beautiful and special, and he went above and beyond." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vogue (@voguemagazine) DK's planning ability really came to life when trying to make this a proposal to remember. "When we first met, we watched Juwanna Mann at my house," said Metcalf. "There was a part in the movie where Vivica Fox's character said, 'It would just be nice to receive flowers on a Wednesday.'" For months leading up to the special day, he sent her flowers...every Wednesday. Ladies, you're not asking for too much!! "At the very end of the story, I used both of our nicknames and said I had a question for her," Metcalf said. "As she finished reading the final love letter, I came down the stairs, got on one knee and asked if she would marry me." In all fairness, he did have a year to make things perfect as he admitted that he actually planned to pop the question during a trip to Turks and Caicos in 2024. "She was releasing her album at the time, and I didn't want to give a hint that we had to go to Turks during her album release. I really wanted to come up with an idea and plan that would flow easily, and that's what I did," he revealed. And, of course, Ciara and her very own Prince Charming, Russell Wilson, playing matchmaker makes their love story even better. "Me and Ciara are really close, and Russell and DK were teammates on the Seattle Seahawks," Normani said. "About two years prior to us even meeting, they were playing music videos in the locker room and 'Motivation' ended up popping up on the screen. He was like, 'The moment that I saw you come up on that screen, I said, 'That's going to be my wife. That's going to be my girlfriend one day.'' I was in a relationship at the time, and then the chips just fell the way that they did." You better manifest your queen, DK! View this post on Instagram A post shared by Black Love (@blacklove) For Normani, the timing is perfect after having a rough few years in her personal life. "I'm grateful that I get to do it alongside my mom," she said. "We've been through a lot as a family between my mom and my dad's health issues: my mom was diagnosed two times with breast cancer, and she's still here to see this day, and my dad has prostate cancer. I don't take for granted that they're both here to witness this monumental moment in my life-I'm really, really blessed." Much love to Normani and DK as they head into their next chapter!

Our Favorite Fuzzy Menace Wreaks Havoc In Adorable Trailer For Disney's Live-Action 'Lilo & Stitch'

Posted by famousradio — Sat, 15 Mar 2025 16:15 GMT

Source: Disney Studios Social media is buzzing over the long-awaited trailer for Disney's live-action Lilo & Stitch remake which made history as the second most-viewed live-action trailer (158 million views) in the entertainment giant's history. Check it out below: Watch Video on YouTube Lilo & Stitch tells the 'wildly funny' and 'touching' story of a lonely Hawaiian girl and her fugitive alien BFF who helps to mend her broken family. Based on the trailer, it has all the sweetness and hijinks of the original with some bold creative changes that sent fans into a frenzy.

Source: Disney Studios One choice in particular was casting Courtney B. Vance as swole social worker/Man In Black Cobra Bubbles originally voiced and modeled after Ving Rhames. ( function() { var func = function() { var iframe = document.getElementById('wpcom-iframe-503b9d435dd5cee289336ebf1a3dffc3') if ( iframe ) { iframe.onload = function() { iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( { 'msg_type': 'poll_size', 'frame_id': 'wpcom-iframe-503b9d435dd5cee289336ebf1a3dffc3' }, "https:\/\/embeds.go.ione.nyc" ); } } // Autosize iframe var funcSizeResponse = function( e ) { var origin = document.createElement( 'a' ); origin.href = e.origin; // Verify message origin if ( 'embeds.go.ione.nyc' !== origin.host ) return; // Verify message is in a format we expect if ( 'object' !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type ) return; switch ( e.data.msg_type ) { case 'poll_size:response': var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id ); if ( iframe && '' === iframe.width ) iframe.width = '100%'; if ( iframe && '' === iframe.height ) iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height ); return; default: return; } } if ( 'function' === typeof window.addEventListener ) { window.addEventListener( 'message', funcSizeResponse, false ); } else if ( 'function' === typeof window.attachEvent ) { window.attachEvent( 'onmessage', funcSizeResponse ); } } if (document.readyState === 'complete') { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ } else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( 'DOMContentLoaded', func, false ); } else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( 'onreadystatechange', func ); } } )(); Now, it's not confirmed that Rhames didn't return because of his tight Mission: Impossible filming schedule, but it makes sense as the reason why he's not playing the live-action version of, well, himself.

Vance and Zach Galifianakis, and introducing Maia Kealoha. "I like that the story and the characters have endured," said Sanders, co-director, co-writer, and voice of Stitch in the original 2002 film. "It was my wish that the story and characters would have staying power, and I'm really glad that they have. I've never stopped doing the voice. I do it for all the different stage shows and parades and everything, and it's nice to, several times a year, be able to revisit that character."

Wendy Williams Publicly Addresses Alcohol Relapse And Health Challenges: 'How Dare They Say Incapaci

Posted by famousradio — Sat, 15 Mar 2025 15:55 GMT

Wendy Williams continues to be a Hot Topic as she fights her strict conservatorship. She recently appeared on The View and spoke openly about her past drug and alcohol abuse and a recent relapse. She also revealed she is tired of the guardianship and wants more control over her life. Source: ANGELA WEISS / Getty According to Page Six, The View, co-hosted by Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Ana Navarro, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Sunny Hostin, aired a pre-taped phone interview with the former talk show host. The panel of hosts also included Ginalisa Monterroso, founder and president of Connect Care Advisory Group. Monterroso and the advisory group help patients and caregivers navigate benefits. The daytime talk show appearance coincidentally came just days after Williams passed a psych evaluation test. However, the mother of one has admitted to abusing drugs and alcohol in the past. During the call, Griffin candidly asked Williams about her relationship with drugs and alcohol. "The relationship is fine and it's wonderful because I've had my devices, and I have to tell you something, I am easily going on with my life alcohol-free for the rest of my life," Williams said. Shortly after, she revealed that she had an alcohol relapse last summer. "But I must admit to you, that when I got from Connecticut to New York, it was my birthday, July 18, and yes, I celebrated, you know what I'm saying?" Nevertheless, Williams assures she is done with alcohol forever. "But no more, no more alcohol, thank you." Wendy Williams Fights Back On Claims Of Incapacitation During Phone Interview With 'The View'

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Though she has been honest about her struggles with addiction, many feel she still doesn't deserve such a harsh guardianship - including founder and president of Connect Care Advisory Group, Ginalisa Monterroso. During the airing of the pre-taped interview, Monterroso stated that she felt Williams should be released from the conservatorship. She also agreed that Williams showed no signs of incapacitation. While doing so, Williams chimed in: "How dare they say I have incapacitation. I do not!" You may recall, Williams was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. Her court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, has maintained this diagnosis rendered her "cognitively impaired" and "permanently incapacitated." However, Wendy claims she nor the judge understand her or her lifestyle. "I've been doing important things all of my life and these two people don't look like me. They don't talk like me. They don't act like me. They will never be me. I need them to get off my neck!" she said. Williams was also candid on how she ended up in the position. She told the ladies of The View that she initially thought the guardianship was a good idea. She believed it would protect her and her assets, but now she fears she was misled. "I didn't mind it at that time at all because it's about my money and keeping my money safe, but at this point in my life, I want to terminate [it]," she revealed. While there is no solution to Williams' conservatorship, she is in good spirits. Towards the end of the phone interview, the former talk show host promised to see the ladies in person as soon as possible.

'Moment of Truth': Jonathan Majors Finally Breaks His Silence On Marvel Firing

Posted by famousradio — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 16:19 GMT

Jonathan Majors is opening up about being fired by Marvel for the first time since his assault conviction. Source: Arnold Turner / Getty Majors played Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and was set to be the main villain of the MCU's Multiverse Saga, setting him up as a main character in the franchise for years to come. However, the actor was swiftly fired by Marvel Studios after being convicted of misdemeanor third-degree assault and second-degree harassment of his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. He was able to avoid jail time and was sentenced to complete 52 weeks of a domestic violence intervention program in addition to probation. Now, he's breaking his silence on the firing in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, where he revealed how he learned that Marvel had let him go. The big news came from a member of his legal team as Majors entered his car following his sentencing in December 2023. Marvel Studios fired Majors as soon as the actor was convicted, which later led to Kang being scrapped from the MCU's slate of projects. Now, Majors claims he is taking meetings for a new superhero film project, but not at Marvel or DC. On finding out he was fired, Majors recalled, "He goes, 'I'm just gonna tell you now. That way you're not surprised, and you can start processing it. They fired you. Marvel fired you.'" As for his possible new superhero project, he said: "No relation to the big guys, DC or Marvel, but a pretty wicked story. I'm glad to be reading. Sometimes it feels like it's not going to happen [about his career resurgence]. And sometimes it feels like we start next week." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hollywood Reporter (@hollywoodreporter) The Creed III actor also opened up about more personal struggles in the interview, revealing that he unpacked childhood trauma during therapy and a domestic violence program he attended following his conviction. Majors said he experienced "sexual abuse from both men and women from the time I was 9," adding that his father left the family when he was 8. "From people who are supposed to look after you, in the absence of a father. I was f***ed up," he said of the abuse. Majors also revealed that he opened up to his mother about the abuse in recent months, which led to her apologizing for not being able to protect him. "I'm like, 'It's not even an issue, mom. I just want you to know,' " he said of the conversation with his mother, whom he is still close to. "And now we can all get busy and continue to connect and grow and learn from it, because it's something that was in our family." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hollywood Reporter (@hollywoodreporter) Majors admitted to THR that processing his own experiences with abuse has led to him being able to understand more about his own behavior in relationships. "There are no excuses, but by getting help, you begin to understand things about yourself," Majors said. If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual abuse, text "STRENGTH" to the Crisis Text Line at 741-741 to be connected to a certified crisis counselor.

Lawyers For Sean 'Diddy' Combs Claim 2016 Assault Video Was 'Altered' By CNN, Cassie's Camp Claps Ba

Posted by famousradio — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 15:56 GMT

Lawyers for Sean "Diddy" Combs are claiming that the explosive surveillance footage, which showed him assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie in 2016, was tampered with by CNN. Legal reps for Cassie are firing back, however, saying that the alarming video "fairly and accurately" captured the abuse the singer allegedly endured during her relationship with the hip-hop star. Source: John Shearer / Getty PEOPLE reports that inside docs for the federal sex crime case of the Bad Boy Records CEO, lawyers for the 55-year-old entrepreneur alleged that CNN altered the original footage of the shocking 2016 video, which captured Combs, dragging and kicking Cassie, 38, after she exited a hotel room at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. Diddy's Lawyers Claimed CNN Edited The Assault Footage Representatives for Combs claimed that CNN acquired the sole existing copy of the surveillance footage, uploaded it to a free editing software, and altered the original video.

Source: Variety / Getty "All CNN video footage was substantially altered in significant respects," the letter to New York Judge Arun Subramanian read, according to PEOPLE. "This includes covering the time stamp and then changing the video sequence. It also includes speeding up the video to make it falsely appear that the actions in the video are taking place faster than they are. As a result, the CNN videos do not fairly and accurately depict the events in question." Lawyers for the former C ROC ambassador also alleged that CNN destroyed the original footage "even though it knew about and repeatedly reported about the federal investigation." During the March 5, 2016 incident, Combs-dressed in nothing but a towel and socks-ran after the "Me & U" singer as she was waiting for the elevator. When he finally caught up with her, he grabbed the hitmaker by the neck, pushing her to the ground, before violently kicking her as she struggled to grab her purse and suitcase. Combs was later captured throwing an object off a table at the entertainer. Diddy later apologized for his "behavior" in the footage, calling it "inexcusable." He added at the time: "I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I was disgusted then when I did it. I'm disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help. I got into going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I'm so sorry..." Cassie's Lawyers Say The Video "Accurately" Depicts Combs' "Depravity"

Source: Variety / Getty Cassie's legal team has fired back against Combs' filing. Douglas Wigdor, the singer's attorney, insists that the footage is authentic. He believes that the music mogul and his team may be worried about the tape being shown at the upcoming trial scheduled for May 5, Reuters noted. "It's not surprising Diddy would make a disingenuous argument to exclude the disturbing video from being shown to the jury in the upcoming trial," Wiggins told Daily Mail. "I am confident that the video fairly and accurately represents what happened, will be admitted into evidence, and that Combs will be held accountable for his depravity." A CNN spokesperson also commented on the claims, telling PEOPLE that the news outlet "never altered the video and did not destroy the original copy of the footage, which was retained by the source." They added: "CNN aired the story about the video several months before Combs was arrested." What do you think of Sean "Diddy" Combs' claims?

DOGE Deez: Donald Trump Slams Fired Federal Workers 'They Don't Work', Judge Reinstates Thousands Of

Posted by famousradio — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 14:51 GMT

Source: Andrew Harnik / Getty Donald Trump's attempt to take away the livelihoods of federal employees so that he can install his own cronies and have full control of the alphabet agencies was not low key. Even those MAGA voters who were naive enough to believe that Trump's budget cuts wouldn't affect them are learned the error of their ways quick fast.

According to NBC News, Trump was asked if he feels badly for those panicked men and women who have been scrambling to keep their lives afloat with no income. here's the wolf tickets he sold in response: "Sure I do. I feel very badly ... but many of them don't work at all. Many of them never showed up to work." "When we cut, we want to cut, but we want to cut the people that aren't working or ... not doing a good job," he told reporters at an Oval Office meeting with Irish Prime Minister Miche l Martin. "We're keeping the best people." "The best people", huh? Sure, Jan. Fortunately for some, U.S. District Judge James Bredar of Maryland has issued a temporary restraining order against "dozens of agencies, department, and leadership" who terminated thousands of jobs as a result of Trump's executive order. Via NBC News: "In this case, the government conducted massive layoffs, but it gave no advance notice. It claims it wasn't required to because, it says, it dismissed each one of these thousands of probationary employees for 'performance' or other individualized reasons," Bredar wrote in his ruling. Judge Bredar saw right through the cap. "On the record before the Court, this isn't true. There were no individualized assessments of employees. They were all just fired. Collectively," he added. Prior to Bredar's decision, a California judge ruled that departments of Veterans Affairs, Defense, Energy, Interior, Agriculture and Treasury, all reinstate thousands of "probationary workers" who were severed from employment based on Trump's policy. Hopefully, more judges have the spine to stand up to the myriad of illegal policies that Donald Trump and President Elon Musk are trying to put forth. At this point, it's in their hands because the people cannot rely on the increasingly weak Democrat party to come and save us.

Coretta Coordination: Jonathan Majors & Meagan Good Rock Matching Fits For 'Number One On The Call S

Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good are showing off their relationship with another red carpet appearance. Source: Amy Sussman / Getty The couple did not shy away from any PDA during their appearance at the premiere of Number One On The Call Sheet at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on March 12. Majors-who was found guilty of assaulting and harassing a former girlfriend in 2023-was in attendance to support his fianc e, who appeared in the documentary alongside Cynthia Erivo, Vivica A. Fox, and more. The pair walked the red carpet hand-in-hand in coordinating outfits, with Majors wearing a black satin suit with one white lapel and white stripes along the pockets. Good also donned a black-and-white look, pairing a white, open-neck, cropped blouse with a silver and black maxi skirt, complete with a sparkly silver belt around her exposed midriff.

Source: JC Olivera / Getty The couple's appearance at the premiere comes just four months after their surprise engagement. The former MCU star confirmed the big news during their red carpet appearance at the 2024 Ebony Power 100 event at Nya Studios in November 2024. Also at the Los Angeles premiere was Jamie Foxx, who co-produced the two-part documentary. He spoke with Access Hollywood at the premiere of the documentary and shared why he thinks this film is so important saying: "Look what's going on out there. (They're) trippin' on us right now. They trippin' on us, they trying to erase stuff, DEI, whatever they're talking about." Foxx went on to say that he's "never had a white boss," saying this movie is an effort to "plant our flag to say, 'hey man, we're special, we're great.'"

Source: JC Olivera / Getty Also in attendance at the premiere Jurnee Smollett and John Boyega, who posed for pictures alongside Foxx and Good. Producer Datari Turner, executive producer Byron Phillips, and director/executive producer Reginald Hudlin were also present, joining the stars for more photos at the event, which Majors joined in on to stand beside his fianc e. Number One on the Call Sheet explores the experiences of Black actors and actresses on their Hollywood journeys to game-changing leading roles. Foxx also spoke to Extra on the red carpet, where he opened up about how important this documentary is and just how special it was to get some of his famous friends to join the project. "Then to be able to get all these guys and women together to talk about it... You know how hard it is in Hollywood to get a yes," he explained. "You know how hard it is to get a yes... And we promised all those guys - Kevin Hart, The Rock, everybody: We don't wanna let your feet touch the ground. We want this to be an incredible moment in your life... that you could look on and be like, 'Man, I'm glad I went down there.' And we believe we've got something very special."

'Raising Kanan' Exclusive: London Brown Talks Marvin's Motive With Stefano, Unwavering Raq Loyalty &

Posted by famousradio — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 17:25 GMT

London Brown is back as Marvin for Season 4 of Raising Kanan, and fans are enjoying more of his character's cold-blooded behavior, comedic antics, and yes, signature serial snacking. Source: Sean Zanni / Getty Marvin has cemented himself as one of the show's most compelling characters, considering his duality, going from a family man who's mending a relationship with his daughter, to a hired henchman. According to London Brown, the portrayal of the oldest Thomas sibling's multiple sides is intentional. "This role has been a blast from day one because it's so collaborative," Brown told BOSSIP. "Big shoutout to Sasha Penn. Even back in Season 1, I told them [the writers], 'I want Marvin to have a thing-what about the food angle?' because I love food. And they ran with it. That's just one of the many things they've let me bring to the character." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Power (@power_starz) But Marvin isn't just there for laughs. "People see the comedy, but I never wanted him to be one-dimensional," he added. "Yeah, he's got humor, but he's also got depth-there's emotion, there's some real pain, and even a little bit of lover-boy energy. He's not just the guy with the gun or the guy who eats. There's a lot more to him." A big part of that complexity is Marvin's dedication, especially to his sister, Raquel. In season 4, however, he may be looking out for his own best interest, a move motivated by his dealings with the godfather of the New York mafia, Stefano Marchetti.

Source: Starz / Power Book III: Raising Kanan "We're still going to see that [Raq] loyalty, but this season, things shift a bit," Brown told Managing Editor Dani Canada. "His bond with his daughter grows stronger, and he starts thinking about his own future. He's always put everyone else first, but he's never really gotten that same love back. That's why his connection with Stefano is so important-because for once, someone he respects acknowledges his worth. That makes him rethink where he's placing his loyalty." Not only that, but when it comes to trust, Marvin is done playing nice.

Source: Starz / Power Book III: Raising Kanan "Last season, he gave people the benefit of the doubt, and it backfired. Now? He's on zero tolerance," Brown said. "If you move funny, Marvin's checking you. No second chances." The actor, who hails from L.A., also explained that Marvin's relationship with his daughter, Jukebox, also takes an interesting turn. "This season, we're seeing Marvin really try to step up," said Brown. "In the past, he thought they were total opposites. But now, he's realizing, 'Wait, she's just like me.' That's why they butt heads so much. That realization pushes him to be there for her in a different way, even as she's figuring things out on her own." With all these layers unfolding, Season 4 of Raising Kanan promises to be a wild ride.

Jamie Foxx Recalls 'Crazy' Conversation He Had 'Just In Case Something Happens' Right Before 2023 Ho

Posted by famousradio — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 16:48 GMT

Jamie Foxx is opening up about the eerie conversation he had just before he was hospitalized following a medical emergency in 2023. Source: JC Olivera / Getty In a recent interview during the Los Angeles premiere of the two-part Apple TV+ documentary Number One on the Call Sheet, the actor and comedian recalled a conversation he had about getting his affairs in order right before he was hospitalized. Of course, Foxx didn't realize that anything was coming, making the timing of the discussion even more befuddling after what followed. "You know what's crazy? Before it happened, I was talking to my people that handle my stuff [and they asked], 'Jamie, wanna go over some papers just in case something happens?' " Foxx told PEOPLE on March 12. In response, the 57-year-old remembers asking his team, "'What's gonna happen to me?'" Not long after, he suffered a brain bleed that led to a stroke while filming his movie Back in Action in 2023. "Boom! Gone," says Foxx, referring to when he went into a coma and didn't wake up until weeks later. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jamie Foxx (@iamjamiefoxx) He goes on to say the incident was a lot different from what he always imagined his death might be like, comparing it to a scene in the 1998 action-crime film Colors. The star was in Atlanta filming Back in Action alongside Cameron Diaz and Glenn Close when he suffered the medical emergency, later revealing there are 20 days after the incident that he can't remember at all. "I used to watch the movie Colors, when they had a shootout," Foxx began. "I thought I was gonna go out like like Rocket [Don Cheadle], like go out in a shootout in the mall or something. I didn't think I was just gonna go out asking for an aspirin." He continued, "When it happened, the amount of love that was poured, the amount of people that reached out, really meant something. When I was talking to [God], he said, 'Hey man, I'm gonna give you the second chance - what you gonna do with it?'" Number One on the Call Sheet, which Foxx co-produced, is on Apple TV+ on March 28.

#FreeWendy: Care Facility Supervising Wendy Williams Accuses Niece Of 'Kidnapping,' Purple Chair Con

Posted by famousradio — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 15:48 GMT

The assisted living facility where Wendy Williams has been under medical supervision allegedly filed a police report against her niece, Alex Finnie, accusing her of "kidnapping" following a dinner outing on March 12, according to TMZ. According to the purple chair connoisseur, the allegations are "unbelievable." Source: Michael Tran / FilmMagic On Wednesday, after escorting her famous aunt back to her care facility, the Coterie, following a psychiatric evaluation at Lenox Hill Hospital, Finnie took the beloved talk show host to dinner at a trendy Italian restaurant in NoHo. However, the seemingly innocent outing took a dramatic turn when they returned to the facility only to find that staff had filed a police report claiming Finnie was "evading" them by taking Williams out of the building, likening it to kidnapping. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ALEX FINNIE (@alexcfinnie) Baffled by the report, Williams, who has been under a court-ordered guardianship since 2022, told TMZ that the Coterie's move was "unbelievable," noting that there were no restrictions as to when or who she could leave the facility with-which includes family. A letter sent to TMZ from the lawyer representing Williams's guardian reportedly verified her claims. Sources close to Williams revealed that she is not allowed to leave the fifth-floor memory unit without an attendant assisting her by pressing the elevator button. Notably, it's reported that an attendant accompanied the media giant and her niece to the lobby and even opened the door of their Uber for them. Wendy Williams Believes Her Guardian May Have Something To Do With The Police Report While discussing the ongoing drama with TMZ, Williams claimed that the report was a downright lie and may have been set off by her guardian. "Unbelieveable!" said Wendy. "Clearly they are lying to me when they say I can go out and do what I wanna do." She continued, "This is my niece Alex. She just flew in from Miami, ok? I just came from the hospital, so we are going out to celebrate," she said, fighting back tears. The Hot 97 radio alum also alleged that it was a key example of how she's been treated "poorly" under the court-ordered arrangement. Although she did not mention her guardian's name, in February, the former Wendy Williams Show star filed paperwork to end the mandated order with her financial guardian, Sabrina Morrissey. In 2022, a Manhattan judge appointed Morrissey after Williams' former manager raised concerns about her mental well-being. These worries led to allegations of her being "of unsound mind" and prompted Wells Fargo to freeze her bank accounts.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tommy Williams (@tommywilliams06) During an interview with Us Weekly published Wednesday, the proud sibling praised his sister, revealing that her health was on the mend. He claimed that she was "in great shape mentally and physically," and Tommy urged court officials to "let her out." On March 10, Williams sent social media and the news world into a tizzy when reports claimed she secretly tossed a note to paparazzi begging for "help" while looking out the window of her fifth-floor room at the Coterie. She was quickly rushed to Lenox Hill Hospital, where she underwent a psychiatric evaluation. The eyebrow-raising news came one day before sources revealed that the Ask Wendy author had aced her psych "capacity test." This is a lot to unpack. Do you think Wendy Williams is being treated unfairly under her court-ordered guardianship?

ATL Hawks Women's Empowerment Night Featured A Special SheLEADS Graduation & Shamea Morton's High-En

The Atlanta Hawks recently celebrated Women's History Month with their annual Women's Empowerment Night presented by BMW, recognizing women in leadership, business, and sports at State Farm Arena, and we got a double dribble of all the deets. The evening featured a special graduation ceremony for the SheLEADS Class of 2025, a halftime performance from Shamea Morton dedicated to women's empowerment, and a star-studded lineup of speakers and honorees.

Security personnel, trainers, and physical therapists moved efficiently, ensuring everything was in place before tip-off. After being escorted through the VIP elevators and hallways to the event by Tai McDonald from the Atlanta Hawks Communications team, she led the way to the SheLEADS graduation room was filled with the program's participants and their supporters, preparing to celebrate their achievements.

Source: Lauryn Bass The setting reflected the significance of the moment-decorated with glass windows, hues of pink and florals to set the scene of the ceremony. They also served hors d'oeuvres! SheLEADS Graduation: Building Future Leaders The SheLEADS Class of 2025 celebrated the completion of its eight-month leadership development program, which supports early-career women in business, sports, entrepreneurship, and STEAM fields. The wonderful host keeping up the energy of the night was media maven MiAsia Symone, Radio Host of Atlanta's #1 Hip-Hop station Hot 107.9. The program, powered by BMW and the Atlanta Hawks, was designed to address key barriers preventing women from advancing in leadership roles.

Source: Lauryn Bass According to Alexis Roe, VP of DEI Impact & Strategic Initiatives at the Atlanta Hawks, who served as the program's moderator, the eight-month structure was intentional. "I was a part of Lead Atlanta and a number of other leadership development programs and the reality is: after one work day you're not going to learn all the things, right? So what we really did was curate an experience. We looked at all the women in the workplace and studied key things that women struggle with. At the time, women in Georgia ranked number forty-nine in the country for 'Women's Empowerment,' which is women's access to healthcare and education. We couldn't understand why, out of all the amazing women in Georgia, they were not able to climb and rise into leadership and economic mobility."

Alexis Roe & Lauryn Bass/ Source: Lauryn Bass The night featured a keynote address from Margaret Lane, Executive Vice President of Talent & Development at Penske Automotive Group, as well as a panel discussion titled "Navigating the Path to Leadership: Wisdom and Tactics from Trailblazing Women."

Source: Lauryn Bass Lane emphasized how impactful a program like this would have been for her as a young professional. "I would've given anything for something like this. The young people a part of this program, I have no doubt that in the future they are going to be fabulous. I have a lot of confidence in them, and I am so excited." With DEI programs facing challenges nationwide, Lane also spoke on the importance of continued investment in initiatives like SheLEADS. "I'm hoping so! No matter what you are, what acronym you use, or who you call yourself to be-it's the inclusivity that's so important. Why wouldn't you want to be? The Atlanta Hawks and the Atlanta-area BMW Centers have done such an incredible job supporting this." For the graduates, the impact of SheLEADS extended beyond professional development-it fostered a sense of belonging and confidence.

Source: Lauryn Bass Teevyah Yuva Raju, Business Strategist, COO Team at BlackRock, shared her excitement about completing the program. "I feel incredible-for myself and my fellow SheLeaders! We learned a lot and I can't wait to see all of us grow in the upcoming years." When asked what SheLEADS offered that only participants would understand, she highlighted a common struggle for women in leadership. "The biggest thing I've learned is to overcome imposter syndrome. A lot of the women who are SheLeads sisters to me are in incredible positions. They've taught us that every position that we are in is well-deserved and that we're going to continue to grow because we deserve it. We deserve where we're at and we deserve where we're going." For Meag Taylor, founder of WomenInRadio and digital content producer at The Steve Harvey Morning Show, SheLEADS wasn't just about professional growth-it provided genuine friendships and support. "SheLEADS is the best decision I made since moving to Atlanta in 2020. I am so happy to have been accepted into the program. The quality of women I have met and gained as friends is just amazing. We really support each other in real life, and oftentimes, that's hard to find." Janna Pruiett, Customer Success Manager at Omnissa, echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing the invaluable community and confidence-building she gained. "Being part of the SheLEADS program was an incredibly empowering experience! I loved connecting with so many dynamic women from different industries, each with unique insights and inspiring stories. The program provided an invaluable space for learning, growth, and collaboration, and I left feeling more motivated than ever. The Atlanta Hawks and State Farm Arena truly created a community where women can thrive, and I'm grateful to have been a part of it!" You could feel the energy in the room from the testimonies, trophies, champagne toasts and gift baskets, this was a space where women were giving back to each other-it spoke volumes. This truly was a celebration that fell on the perfect night of the year, #InternationalWomensDay!

There was even an interactive cartoon race between 3 cars, two male and one female, for children to engage with during a section of the night. Though the male cars played dirty to try and win, the female car kept her energy and stayed on her path to victory. The crowd was able to cheer her on as a winner and recognize that even the smallest things can impact the young children in their game seats.

What a perfect game to win against the Pacers. Curtis Snyder, BMW's Southern Region Marketing Manager, reinforced why programs like this matter. "At BMW, we believe in the power of women-our daughters, mothers, and partners-to inspire change, break barriers, and lead with confidence." There was everything to gain this night!

Porsha Williams & Drew Sidora Address Their Ongoing Dennis Drama, Drew Demands #RHOA Receipts-'I Nev

Posted by famousradio — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 18:59 GMT

Porsha Williams is still shading her (former?) friend/ Real Housewives of Atlanta castmate, Drew Sidora, for allegedly trying to film with her ex-fianc , Dennis McKinley behind her back. Porsha, in particular, is defending her side of the drama because of things "strategically done behind the scenes." Source: James Bianchi/ Gizelle Hernandez / Bravo An #RHOA Sneak Peek Shows Porsha Confronting Drew An #RHOA sneak peek shows Porsha and Drew hashing out their Dennis dilemma, after newcomer Shamea Morton claimed that multiple people spotted Drew and Dennis holding hands. Morton alleged that she heard the two were also wearing matching outfits and looking "booed up" during their alleged outing, but Drew insisted that she and Dennis were only friends. Defending herself, Drew explained that she "reached out" to Porsha "many times" to make sure she was comfortable with their budding friendship. She went on to clarify that after opening for Tamar Braxton, Dennis contacted her management to host the after-party for the show. He also made a "whole professional pitch" about collaborating on new music projects. Drew described Dennis as her "angel on earth" since her divorce from Ralph Pittman, helping her refocus on her career. She further claimed that she hadn't had a chance to speak with Porsha personally. However, Dennis-who shares daughter Pilar Jhena McKinley with the longtime housewife-assured her that he and Porsha were on the same page and that she had given them her blessing to work together. Drew notably insisted that Dennis would never disrespect Porsha, as he still has emotional feelings for her. She even went as far as to say that Dennis teared up after showing her a song he had dedicated to the Go Naked Hair founder. "At the end of the day, Dennis has been like a brother to me," said Drew. "I don't want to ever think for one second that I would ever be dealing with your baby daddy." Porsha Broke The "Fourth Wall" On The Show To Address The Issue With Drew

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Drew's calm and collected response seemed to fall on deaf ears when Porsha began expressing her issues with the former Disney Channel star's relationship with her ex. While insisting that she wasn't bothered by their friendship, Porsha shared that she felt betrayed by Drew and said she believed Drew was trying to "go behind her back" to film with Dennis on the show. "Let's set Dennis to a side ... because you can marry him, f-k him, or kill him, I don't care...I've done nothing but root for you...My problem with you is this: You are a lowdown dirty individual. And you know what I'm talking about." After asking the producer if she could "break the fourth wall," the newly divorced reality TV star went in on Drew. "You have been trying to go behind my back and do something very dirty by asking Dennis to film with you," she said, before accusing Drew of attempting to film a photo shoot for Go Naked Hair without her permission. Porsha recently made Drew an ambassador for her hairline. "Nobody asked you to film a photo shoot for my company! Are you insane!?" she shouted during the tense clip. Watch Video on YouTube Drew Is Sticking By Her Story, Asks For Receipts Doubling down, Drew insisted that she did nothing wrong during an interview with The Neighborhood Talk earlier this week. "That never happened. Show me a receipt where I wanted to film with Dennis?" the singer told the outlet in a clip shared to TikTok on Monday. "I never wanted to film with Dennis. I never asked to film with Dennis. I think following my music story, you may have seen Dennis...but it wasn't something that anyone planned...She knew I was working with Dennis. She was loving the music before cameras went up." @theneighborhoodtalk Uh-oh! Drew tells Porsha she needs to "drop the receipts" of her allegedly trying to film with Dennis!

"Sometimes it's needed when things are strategically done behind the scenes and set before we film." She also responded to another fan-who claimed they were defending her since the sneak peek dropped-teasing that the truth about the situation would be revealed in the upcoming episode.

Virginia High School Track Athlete Alaila Everett Faces Criminal Charges For Baton Attack On Rival R

Posted by famousradio — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 18:56 GMT

Source: BEN STANSALL / Getty Alaila Everett has been the talk of the internet for several days now, ever since the viral video of the I.C. Norcom High School track runner hitting rival runner Kaelen Tucker in the head with a relay baton reached millions of views. The argument online is hot and heavy about whether or not Everett hit Tucker on purpose or by accident. For her part, Everett has been tearfully denying the accusations, while many are convinced that her contrition is cap. That said, the opinions of social media users might be the least of Alaila Everett's problems now. According to WAVY TV 10, Everett is now facing assault and battery charges stemming from the alleged attack. These charges suggest that neither law enforcement nor the district attorney is buying her "accident" story. Things have gotten so bad that the NAACP has released a public statement in her defense. In a statement released on March 12, Portsmouth NAACP said in all caps, "Alaila is NOT AN ATTACKER" and shamed some media coverages portraying her as such. The statement denounces the use of racial slurs and threats that have been directed toward the athlete. Everett appeared on Good Morning America yesterday to continue the PR fight to sway the court of public opinion. Watch Video on YouTube This court case is about to take over the news cycle and BOSSIP will have detailed coverage every step of the way.

Ayo Edebiri Says 'Idiot' Elon Musk Caused Her To Receive 'Insane Death Threats And Racial Slurs'

Posted by famousradio — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 17:28 GMT

Ayo Edebiri is publicly calling out Elon Musk for the death threats she received as a result of one of his retweets. Source: Emma McIntyre / Getty The Bear star took to Instagram to call out the X owner for his role in bringing a fake movie announcement to a broader audience, which she says led to "insane death threats" and racial slurs being directed at her. The Emmy winner posted a screenshot of Musk reacting to a fabricated announcement about Pirates of the Caribbean 6 to her Instagram Story, adding her own caption about what that fake reveal meant for her personal life. The fake news suggested that Disney was considering Edebiri as a replacement for Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, which led to Musk weighing in, adding, "Disney sucks." On Tuesday, March 11, Edebiri added some context to his retweet, making it clear just how much backlash came with Elon spreading that fake narrative to his audience. "Just remembering when I got some of the most insane death threats and racial slurs of my life (idk if it's the #1 moment, but for sure top 3) for a fake reboot of a movie I had never even heard of because of this man LMAO," she wrote on top of a screenshot of Musk's tweet. "So not only is he a double s**g h**l-ing fascist, he's an idiot, but anyway." Known for her incredible comedic timing, Edebiri kept things light, adding "Life is, of course, a gift." She went on to share a funny exchange with New Girl writer Camilla Blackett, who insisted that Edebiri could have actually made a great lead for the Pirates reboot, if it was really happening.

Mahmoud Khalil: Academics And Lawyers Speak Out Against US Gov. Pro-Palestine Suppression, 1st Amend

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 11 Mar 2025 19:53 GMT

Source: David Dee Delgado / Getty Mahmoud Khalil has the eyes of millions of people on him and his situation, but this story has not received nearly enough coverage, considering how egregious and terrifying it is. For those who are unaware, Khalil was a graduate student at Columbia University in New York City who completed his education and then turned his focus to organizing and protesting the treatment of Palestine by both Israel and the United States. This past Saturday, according to NewsOne, Khalil was apprehended by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent at his university apartment.

Source: Anadolu / Getty Tricia McLaughlin, who oversees the Department of Homeland Security's public outreach, tried to rationalize Khalil's arrest during a press conference last Sunday. "Khalil led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization," she said. "ICE and the Department of State are committed to enforcing President Trump's executive orders and to protecting U.S. national security." Did you notice how broad the reasoning that McLaughlin used was? "Led activities aligned to Hamas," what the f*** does that even mean? Sure, it is illegal in the United States to "materially support" a designated terrorist organization; however, vehemently supporting Palestinians in Gaza falls short of "material support."

Source: David Dee Delgado / Getty Under this ocean-wide definition, anyone speaking publicly in support of Palestine could be detained and/or deported. In this case, Khalil is subject to deportation because he is in the United States on a student visa, one that is being threatened by Trump and his cronies like "little" Marco Rubio, who vow to revoke student green cards and have them deported if they are found "supporting Hamas." The push to enact the new age McCarthyism is coming from all angles. Peep this asinine segment from Abby Phillips' show on CNN. Watch Video on YouTube While Khalil sits in a detention center, he has a wife who is eight months pregnant and desperate for him to return home to her. His lawyer, Amy Greer, says that she has spoken to him and attempted to visit him in the New Jersey facility that he was originally taken to only to find that he was not there and was moved to a facility in Louisiana. Via Al Jazeera: "This is a tactic that ICE loves to use, transferring someone to a facility that is further away from their legal assistance, community and loved ones," said Nathan-Pineau. "It increases the psychological strain of detention." These Republicans are evil people, and Trump is their Satanic ringleader. To hell with all of them.

Florida Mom Condemns Cops For Arresting Her As 3-Year-Old Laid Face Down With Hands Behind Back In '

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 11 Mar 2025 19:28 GMT

It seems like every time a new story breaks exposing the adultification of Black children at the hands of callous police officers, the age of the victim in these cases gets younger and younger. Source: kate_sept2004 / Getty From an 11-year-old Black girl handcuffed while falsely suspected of stealing a car, to a 10-year-old Black boy jailed for public urination, to a visibly distraught nine-year-old Black girl pepper-sprayed in the face by a cop for not being calm, to a six-year-old Black girl made to get face-down on the ground with her teenaged family members who were falsely accused of driving a stolen vehicle - these cops just don't seem to care what they put Black children through. A Black mother is speaking out after viral police body-cam footage showed her and her 3-year-old daughter lying face-down on the ground with their hands behind their backs while a Winter Haven, Florida, police officer appeared to point his firearm at them. Three. Years. Old. "Everybody seen clear as day they had their guns pointed directly at me and her," the mother, 27-year-old Mariah Banks, told Bay News 9 of the traumatic event the led to her daughter Symphony being traumatized. "That made her fearful for her life that she had no other choice but to get on that ground and lay down and put her hands on her back." According to News 9, the event, which happened last Tuesday, unfolded after police responded to a call about an incident at a store called Santiago's that allegedly involved Banks's boyfriend, 29-year-old Godfrey Hercules. According to Winter Haven Police Chief Vance Monroe, who's backing his officers' actions, the child "mimicked" the mom and was not ordered to lay down with her hands behind her back. "I truly wish that this child wasn't exposed to this," he said. "I'm a father, I'm a grandfather, just like the officers that responded. In hindsight, I wish there was something we could change how this young lady engaged with us or how we engaged with her." Monroe added that the four officers acted within the department's policies. He said they responded to a disturbance involving a firearm, which led to a be-on-the-lookout (BOLO) for Hercules' red Nissan Altima. After officers located the vehicle, body cam video shows them apprehending Hercules on the side of the building and taking him into custody. Monroe said officers then ordered Banks to get on the ground once she approached the scene with a cellphone. "You have to remember, we have a BOLO out for an armed disturbance, a person with a firearm. We don't know who has the firearm," he said. "We don't know who has it and we don't know where the firearm is. We just have to secure the people that's there." Monroe stressed the officers' orders were only for Banks, but her daughter mimicked her actions. "At no point did an officer aim a weapon at the child," Monroe said. "Body cam footage confirms that once officers realized a child was present, the firearm was immediately lowered." Watch Video on YouTube So, we're to believe that with four police officers on the scene and a suspect already in custody, none of the officers had a free hand to grab the toddler and move her out of harm's way while cops put the girl's mother on the ground at gunpoint - which was arguably unnecessary in and of itself. It also seems we're to disbelieve our own eyes, which can clearly see an officer's gun pointed in the general direction of the mother and child. "Y'all could have moved her from out of proximity and had y'all guns pointed at me," Banks said. "Anything but my baby. She's a child. Three years old. She doesn't deserve something like this." "They're supposed to serve and protect," she went on to say. "My baby never felt that. She didn't feel protected, she didn't feel served. She felt hurt." As it turned out, the officers did find a Diamondback 9mm semiautomatic pistol in the couple's vehicle, and the State Attorney's Office filed complaint affidavits against Hercules for affray and improper display of a weapon. However, both Hercule and Banks were released at the scene after being detained. Chief Monroe told reporters that, moving forward, officers will be better trained to respond to situations like these involving small children. Of course, that still leaves us with the question: Which one is it - did the cops do their jobs the way they're supposed to, as Monroe suggested, or did they need better training?

The track was featured on their iconic album The Score, which earned the group a Grammy-two decades after Flack won the Record of the Year trophy for the same song, as noted by the Associated Press. "We weren't formally asked to do this because I think they were a little shy in asking us to attend," Hill revealed before she and Wyclef Jean launched into their performance. "So, we kind of bum-rushed the service because it really wouldn't be possible for us to just stand by and not participate."

Source: Gizelle Hernandez/James Bianchi / Bravo Fans are still buzzing about The Real Housewives of Atlanta's "sweet sixteen" premiere, which featured Porsha Williams, Drew Sidora, and Shamea Morton, who's been upgraded to housewife status, as well as housewives Kelli Ferrell, Brit Eady, Angela Oakley, and Cynthia Bailey, a friend of the show. Porsha Williams Detailed Divorce From Simon Guobadia In #RHOA Premiere Porsha, in particular, sparked conversation as the premiere marked her return after two seasons away from #RHOA.

Source: Gizelle Hernandez/James Bianchi / Bravo Emotions ran high as she opened up about her ongoing divorce from Simon Guobadia, and she was seen chatting with Randy Kessler, the same lawyer who represented her during her Kordell Stewart divorce. According to Porsha, 43, filing for divorce was a choice she made in an effort to "protect assets," like their marital home, in which they have 50/50 interests. She went on to explain how contentious things had gotten between them, even mentioning Simon trying to prevent her from filming in their house, and alleged that the businessman was secretive about their finances. "In my relationship with Simon, I felt like if I had him by my side, we could conquer anything," she said. "However, I just started realizing a lot of different things that turned out to be untruths." Many of those untruths, Porsha alleged, involved money. "He wouldn't tell me what our finances were. It's not like I was sitting here like some dumb little wife and just enjoying some money. No, I actually asked my husband, 'What is going on?'" She also noted that Simon's lying about his immigration status also sparked the divorce. In February, Simon was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) amid Trump's mass deportation efforts. As previously reported, Simon, who arrived in the U.S. in 1982, faced legal hurdles over his residency for decades, with a history of deportations and denied citizenship applications due to past visa violations and criminal records. Why, when we go to the airport, do we have to stand in a secondary line? Why do we continuously have to go through these issues?" Porsha recalled asking during the #RHOA premiere. "Just so happens, all of this information that I had asked him about and he had lied about came out-about him not having a real green card and him trying to get citizenship. My back was so against the wall," she added. "The only way for you to really protect yourself at the end of the day if you have a prenup is to enforce it. And you only enforce it by doing a divorce," she said in a confessional. "I'm not going to let a foreclosure notice come to my house and I can't pay it. So I wanted to make sure if it happens, I have the money to do what we needed to do." Ultimately, Porsha said she felt like the wool had been pulled over her eyes. "I would have rode to the end of the world with this man. But the person I'm now mourning, he was not real," said Porsha. "He's a nightmare."

Foul Play? Virginia High School Track Runner Concussed After Being Hit With Relay Baton, Offending R

Posted by famousradio — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 19:26 GMT

Source: PeopleImages / Getty Track isn't a sport where you expect there to be a controversy involving violence among competitors. Still, a recent story about two ladies who were competing for first place is going viral on social media, and the opinions on the incident are mercurial, to say the least. According to a report by WSLS, two young ladies who attend high school in Virginia were recently competing in a 4 x 200 when one of them, Alaila Everett (I.C. Norcom High School), hit Kaelen Tucker (Brookville High School) in the back of the head with a relay baton knocking her to the ground and out of the race completely. Video of the "attack" is circulating social media and garnering millions of views and replies. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Irrelevant News (@irrelevantnewsfeed) Kaelen described what happened from her perspective to WSLS: "When you go to the other side of the track, you have to cross into lane one, you have to merge in. As I was coming up on her, she kind of like made me get cut off a little bit, so I backed away," Kaelen said. "Then, as we got around the curve, she kept bumping me in my arm. Then finally we got off the curve, I like slowly started passing her and then that's when she just hit me with the baton and I fell off the track." Immediately after assessing Kaelen's health, athletic officials wasted no time in disqualifying her from the event. After visiting a doctor, Kaelen says she was told that she suffered a concussion and potentially a fractured skull. Kaelen's parents Tamarro and Keith Tucker were issued an apology from the I.C. Norcom Athletic Director but would prefer one from Alaila Everett and her father. Let the Tuckers tell it, neither Alaila nor her father even checked on Kaelen after it was clear that she was injured. For her part, Alaila spoke to WAVY 10 to tearfully tell her side of the story while defending herself against claims that she hit Kaelen on purpose. Alaila said her mental health is suffering because people are rushing to judgment. "I know my intentions, and I would never hit somebody on purpose," said the teen who said she's been subjected to death threats and racist taunts.

Wendy Williams Taken By Ambulance After Begging Paparazzi For Help In Hand-Written Note

Wendy Williams had to get creative in asking for help today, sending a note down to paparazzi from her fifth-story room at a New York City assisted living facility. Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty On Monday, March 10, the former talk show host was taken away from her assisted living home by ambulance. This came after she dropped a note to paparazzi begging them to help her. Police were called to do a wellness check around 11.15 a.m., according to reports from The Post. Shortly after, Williams tossed a piece of paper to a photographer from the window of her fifth-story room at a New York City assisted living facility, which included a handwritten message that simply read, "Help! Wendy!!" As seen in photos and video obtained by the outlet, the star was seen walking to the ambulance on her while being escorted by a handful of police. Police assisted her as she pulled herself into the ambulance. Watch Video on YouTube This wellness check comes just one month after TMZ reported that the 60-year-old, who has continued to deny her frontotemporal dementia diagnosis, formally asked a judge to end her guardianship. Williams claimed in the alleged affidavit that she has "regained [the] capacity" to function on her own without her legal guardian, Sabrina Morrissey. The former talk show host was "re-evaluated" by a doctor in a new medical exam on Feb. 18, when sources told TMZ that if Williams' request to end the guardianship was denied, she would "demand" a trial by jury. In January, the radio legend called into The Breakfast Club, where she insisted she is not "cognitively impaired." During her eye-opening interview, Wendy told listeners she is "trapped" with elderly patients, who are not her "cup of tea" before explaining just how isolated she is. "I am definitely isolated," she explained. "I keep the door closed. I watch TV. I listen to the radio. I watch the window. I sit here, and my life goes by." The Daytime Emmy nominee has been away from the public eye since leaving her eponymous talk show in 2021. The following year, her court-ordered guardianship made headlines, with her Lifetime documentary highlighting what the cognitive issues that reportedly led to her departure. Watch Video on YouTube Williams is set to do a phone interview with The View on Friday, March 14, where we will hopefully hear more about her pleas for help.

DDG Releases New Song 'Don't Take My Son' Highlighting Halle Bailey Woes, Ariel's Army Annihilates '

Posted by famousradio — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 16:38 GMT

DDG is offering fans more details about the custody and visitation issues he's allegedly facing with ex-girlfriend Halle Bailey inside a new song titled "Don't Take My Son." The eyebrow-raising tune comes a few days after the YouTube streamer-turned-rapper claimed he barely saw his 1-year-old, Halo, whom he shares with the singer. Source: Scott Dudelson / Getty On March 8, DDG dropped his song "Don't Take My Son," which is loaded with poignant bars detailing his alleged visitation and custody issues with Bailey. Produced by Cash Cobain, the rap star pleaded with Hailey to let him see his son throughout, accusing her of making him "pay" to see Halo. "Don't take my son because he's all I got/I'm just having fun, I don't love these thots," DDG rapped on the chorus of the track. "Tryna make me pay to see my son, that's gonna make me hot," he rhymed later in the song, which has amassed over 190,000 views on YouTube since Saturday's release. In one bar, he also claimed he had enough cash should he have to shell out dough to see his little one. "It's not about the money, it's more about the principle, you know I'm rich," DDG rapped in the buzzing track. Watch Video on YouTube After dropping the song on Saturday, DDG uploaded a YouTube video, telling fans that he hoped the move would convince Hailey, 24, to let him spend more time with Halo, but his plan didn't work out. "I was like, hopefully me doing this is gonna make her be like, 'Here, take your son,' that's not the case," the 27-year-old streamer revealed. "I just don't want it to come to the point where he's like, 'my pops not around' and that's just my main thing," DDG further explained of the situation. "This is the first time that I've ever spoken on this situation and I've been dealing with this sh*t for a long time... I never spoke on it because of the simple fact, I don't like putting y'all in my real life business. But I don't know what else to do... I know the internet moves people. I just want to see my son. I love being a dad and I want to be a dad. I think I'm the first n**** to ever get canceled for wanting to be a dad." Watch Video on YouTube When asked if he had plans to take his custody and visitation issues with Bailey to court, DDG said he was doing everything he could to avoid litigation, as things could potentially become "messy." "I think it's in her best interest to not wanna go to court either, where we can just have a clear understanding, alright cool, I wanna pick my son up, take him to dinner. If you really want him, I'll bring him right back. It's not a problem. We go to court, the judge is gonna give me some time, and when I get the time, I'm gonna do whatever I want with my son." Later on in his lengthy livestream, DDG insisted that he never brought his son around when he's worked or streamed online with different women. "When y'all see me streaming with girls, y'all ain't never see my son around do you? I would never do that, ever. My content has nothing to do with me being a father. I purposely separate him from any of that. I don't give a f**** If I'm dating a girl, you not meeting my son." The Internet Had Lotsss To Say About DDG's New Song Fans and netizens flooded the comments section of YouTube after DDG released "Don't Take My Son," offering both advice and criticism. One commenter cautioned the rapper, advising him to "hope" Bailey doesn't take legal action after the song's release. "He's in for a rude awakening, because this song will be used in court, right along with the picture of the child being used for manipulation. She could say this is exploitation. This could also be flipped as an intimidation tactic...he's making all the wrong moves," the user added. A critic penned: "That cease and desist letter is on the way my boy! Her lawyers are gonna have a field day if you keep crashing out on the Internet." While another supporter added: "Y'all just need a legal parenting plan. That way you both have boundaries set and equal parenting time that you have to abide by. That will settle all this confusion, and you both know exactly what days you'll have the child." In TheNeighborhoodTalk's comments section, people were fiercely on Halle's side with one writing; "Tried to tell her he was [corn emoji]." "He uses his son for clout," added another. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk) DDG Claimed He Had To Drive "Hours" To See Halo, Couldn't Spend Time With Him Regularly "Don't Take My Son" was released just one day after DDG claimed he had to drive for "hours" to pick up his son, only to arrive and find that he was unable to see him. "My son is sick right now. I want to see my son. I want to hold my son... but I don't get a chance to do that," the rapper alleged in his March 7 stream, claiming that Bailey often comes up with new excuses to prevent him from seeing his child. "It don't have nothing to do with me working by the way. Not gonna air out her business, me and her has not been together for a long time. I just never got on the internet and said nothing," he continued. "I really feel like I'm a f***ing nanny at this point. The nanny has been able to have my son more than me. I [have] been dealing with this s**t since he was born. I'm really just coming on this motherf**ker as just a dad that don't know what to do at this point," he added.

Nice Try, Tasha! Tasha K Still Owes Cardi B $4M Lawsuit Settlement, Judge Puts Bankrupt Blogger On P

On Wednesday, a bankruptcy judge approved a payment plan to satisfy Tasha K's outstanding balance from the court battle, which started in 2019. This arrangement allows "Enough (Miami) rapper to take a cut every time Tasha secures the bag.

The bankruptcy court isn't letting any funny money slide and will closely monitor her finances. Tasha will have to submit tax returns and quarterly earnings reports to the court throughout the repayment period.

A non-disparagement clause will prohibit Tasha from making any more derogatory remarks about Cardi or her family.

With Season 16 premiering Sunday, March 9 on Bravo and Monday, March 10 on Peacock, it was only right to kick things off with a night of high fashion, high energy, and, of course, high drama! A Sweet 16 to Remember: Shamea Finally Gets Her Peach!

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty One of the night's biggest moments was Shamea Morton's well-earned debut as a full-fledged housewife. The Atlanta native, who has been a beloved friend of the show for years, finally gets her time to shine. And, trust, she's ready for the spotlight! "I am enjoying this Sweet 16 season! It's been wonderful being part of this girl group, this sisterhood. I've had some highs and lows, but I feel like I'm amongst a group of ladies that bring a new era to the franchise." Shamea has always been the ultimate ATL connector, and it turns out she's been playing a bigger role than she even realized. "It's crazy how people call me the glue! I was born and raised in Atlanta, and I know everybody and they mama! There's not a room I can go into where I don't know someone."

"It was very exciting but also very nerve-wracking! You don't know if you're going to be welcomed or if they're going to make you earn your spot. But baby, I'm a peach holder!

Every queen knows when to make room on her throne for a predecessor and it seems Ms. Lauryn Hill is giving her official co-sign to Doechii. Source: Samir Hussein/Gilbert Flores / Getty During her performance at Miami's Jazz In The Garden, the "Miseducation" singer surprised the crowd by bringing Doechii onstage to help her perform her hit single, "Doo Wop (That Thing)". The two traded verses and took on the iconic hook of the song together. It's only right as Doechii recently joined Ms. Hill as one of only three women to ever take home a Grammy for Best Rap Album. "Thank you Miss Lauryn Hill. Thank you. My heart is so full. She is my hero," Doechii wrote on X after the performance. "This is the greatest honor hip hop could give me. Praise God...my entire body is vibrating with joy right now. I'll never forget this day! EVER!" Watch Video on YouTube It is, in fact, a big deal as Ms. Hill has been particularly picky on who she shares the stage with over her many years in the industry. It's a huge co-sign for her to show love to someone who has drawn many comparisons to herself.

'Raising Kanan' Exclusive: Mekai Curtis & Sascha Penn Spill On Season 4 & Kanan's Complex Raq Relati

Posted by famousradio — Sun, 9 Mar 2025 17:57 GMT

For three seasons, Power Book III: Raising Kanan has enthralled audiences with its gripping exploration of family and power, and ahead of its fourth season, executive producer Sascha Penn and lead actor Mekai Curtis told BOSSIP about the show's evolution. Source: Arturo Holmes / Getty The season three finale left fans reeling as Raquel "Raq" Thomas, played by Patina Miller, took a shocking turn, killing Detective Malcolm Howard (Omar Epps), Kanan's father. The fallout from that moment, Mekai Curtis revealed, will reverberate through season four.

Source: Courtesy / Starz "I think that was part of Kanan's identity that he was still trying to figure out," Curtis told BOSSIP. "Throughout the entire series, he's been taking in all this information, trying to understand what it means for him. That moment felt like a betrayal. He thought he was protecting his mother, but then she turns around and does something like this. It doesn't feel like she's doing this for him. It feels strange, and he has to work through that." Kanan's complex dynamic with his mother has always been at the heart of the show. Season four promises to explore this tension further as Kanan grapples with his place in Raq''s empire. One of the pivotal moments in season three was Kanan's decision to eliminate Ronnie Mathis (Grantham Coleman).

Source: Courtesy / Starz According to Mekai Curtis, it was a move that signified his growing awareness of the treacherous world he inhabits. "Ronnie is an extension of Unique's vengeance tour," Curtis noted, referencing Joey Bada$$'s character, the rival drug dealer who has been a constant thorn in Rock's side. "Kanan was already skeptical of Ronnie, and once they started working together, it became clear that Ronnie was going off-script. Kanan had to step in." That moment, Curtis believes, was a defining one for his character, "It speaks to Kanan's courage and to what's been instilled in him from day one," he said. "Raq has tried to pull him away from this life, but she's also made him aware of how to navigate it." At its core, Raising Kanan is about family including its bonds, its betrayals, and the lengths people will go to protect the ones they love. "It's about seeing a family work through being a family, while also working through being individuals within that family," Curtis added. One of the biggest mysteries lingering in Raising Kanan is the arrival of Breeze, the enigmatic figure who played a crucial role in molding Kanan into the ruthless character seen in Power. As speculation continues to swirl, however, Sascha Penn remained tight-lipped to BOSSIP.

Ne-Yo Presents His Poly 'Pyramid' Of 4 Girlfriends, Defines His Polyamorous Philosophy - 'No Ownersh

Posted by famousradio — Sun, 9 Mar 2025 17:09 GMT

Ne-Yo got everyone talking after he popped out with his polyamorous lifestyle and now he's officially introducing his four girlfriends to the world. The singer caught a lot of flack, as some fans believe he only wants to upgrade his sex life. However, the singer is adamant that it's more than sex, even saying that his relationship(s) serve as a community for his children. Source: Prince Williams / Getty When it comes to having multiple girlfriends, Ne-Yo has never hidden his preferences. After his monogamous relationships with Monyetta Shaw and Crystal Renay failed, it became clear the "So Sick" singer could not be a one-woman man. A year after his divorce from Renay, he popped out with two girls on his arm. Now, his sister-wives troupe has doubled. He recently took to Instagram to "properly" introduce his "pyramid" of girlfriends. "Since the world is so intrigued, I guess I should introduce my loves properly. LADIES AND GENTS I PRESENT MY PYRAMID," he wrote in the caption of Instagram video. "Say something nice or move on with your life. We happy over here." He also revealed their names and nicknames. Starting with Cristina aka "Pretty Baby," then Arielle aka "Twin Flame," Moneii aka "Phoenix Feather." and Bri aka "Sexy Lil Something." View this post on Instagram A post shared by NE-YO (@neyo) Ne-Yo's polyamorous lifestyle was also discussed when he visited Real 92.3 LA. The singer held back nothing as he described why this lifestyle works for him. "I do partnership, not ownership," he stated. "I don't even want to own you. I want a partner in this situation. I don't demand exclusivity or ask for it, nothing like that. If you offer it and I accept [then] there are rules to follow, but nothing is above a conversation as long as we're being honest." Ne-Yo's Polyamorous Lifestyle Isn't Just About Sex

Source: Prince Williams / Getty While at the radio show, Ne-Yo also revealed that sex is not his main goal in having multiple women in his life. "See, people get caught up on the sexual element of it. If the only reason you're doing it is for the sexual part if it, you're bound to fail," the singer advised. The father of seven clarified that he looks a his relationship as a community for his kids. With his busy schedule, his girlfriends are able to fill in when he is not there. "Me being as busy as I am, I'm rarely home - and God bless my kids for them being understanding - but if you want your [Roblox] and your V-bucks and them Jordans, daddy gotta go to work. And while daddy's at work, this one's gonna cook dinner and this one is gonna make breakfast, and this one's gonna get you ready for school," he explained. For those concerned about this being potentially confusing for his children, he says all it takes is a conversation. "Kids understand what you explain [to them]. If I make it confusing, then it's confusing. My kids understand that they are loved and that they are cared for and that is what matters to me," he said. As BOSSIP reported, Ne-Yo feels as though his poly situation has significantly improved his life. "I'm in a great space, mentally, emotionally and everything. I realized that everything is not for everybody...Society tells you that you're supposed to be with one person, you get married and you're supposed to be together forever," he continued. "I am not sh*tting on marriage. I am not sh*tting on anyone who has figured out how to make that thang work for them. Again, everything's not for everybody. Monogamy is for you, it's not for me," he said while visiting the Lemon Drop podcast.

BOSSIP Weekly Horoscopes By Zya Week Of 3/10

Posted by famousradio — Sun, 9 Mar 2025 16:44 GMT

Another day, another week of horoscopes by our astrologer Zya, who's warning us that Mercury might make things a bit hectic. Tread lightly, folks! Source: iOne Digital / Tommy de Yampert ASTRO OVERVIEW: Well, ya'll, we are now entering chaotic cosmic changes. 2025 will touch everyone in big and small ways. Starting on the 13th/14th (the day will vary depending on where you're located) we have the first eclipse. A lunar eclipse in Virgo. This eclipse will cause us to clean up our "house"! We will have to face unhelpful habits around our physical fitness, perfectionism, micromanaging, and martyrdom. We will also learn to give ourselves (and others) a bit of grace if we fall short. This IS NOT the time to do surgeries- especially cosmetic surgeries. And on the 15th, we have Mercury joining Venus in retrograding through Aries. This will be a very potent combo that can truly upset our love lives and our family dynamics that need healing. Especially with the Virgo eclipse illuminating where change is deeply needed. With Mercury in this position, we may find ourselves quick to anger, our tech issues reaching a boiling point, and even random lusty encounters with [toxic] ex-lovers. Aries, in particular, will have to be very mindful during this time... Whew chile... PS: The political world stage may get a bit cray-cray too..(yes even more so!) Alrighty, let's see what's in store for your sign this week.

Blood Sunday 60 Years Later: Selma Stands Strong, But Is Democracy On The Line?

Posted by famousradio — Sat, 8 Mar 2025 23:01 GMT

SELMA, Ala. - On March 7, 1965, Black civil rights activists were brutally attacked while marching for voting rights in what became known as Bloody Sunday. The violent response to their peaceful protest sparked national outrage and led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Now, 60 years later, thousands are gathering in Selma for the 2025 Selma Bridge Crossing Jubilee to commemorate this historic moment. The event serves as both a remembrance and a call to action, highlighting ongoing voting rights challenges and urging the next generation to continue the fight for democracy. Source: Michael M. Santiago / Getty Bloody Sunday: A Defining Moment in Civil Rights History On March 7, 1965, more than 500 Black demonstrators gathered at Brown Chapel AME Church in Selma. They planned to march 54 miles to Montgomery to demand voting rights and hold Alabama Gov. George Wallace accountable for the police killing of Jimmie Lee Jackson, a Black church deacon. CBS 17 states that when the marchers reached the Edmund Pettus Bridge, more than 50 Alabama state troopers and dozens of possemen on horseback blocked their path. Despite being unarmed and peaceful, the marchers were met with tear gas, batons, and horse-mounted officers trampling them.

At least 17 people were hospitalized, and 40 others required medical treatment. The attack was broadcast live on national television, exposing the brutality of segregationist policies and forcing America to confront its deep racial injustices. Two weeks later, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led a federally protected march of more than 3,000 marchers on a five-day, 54-mile march to Montgomery. That summer, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 into law, banning racial discrimination in voting. They marched so we could vote. They bled so we could have a say. So why, in 2025, are we still fighting the same battles? See list of events for the Bloody Sunday 60th anniversary and how we can continue protecting voting rights in 2025 after the flip!

Baby Daddy Drama: DDG Says Halle Bailey Barely Allows Time With Their Son Halo, But Fans Call Claims

Posted by famousradio — Sat, 8 Mar 2025 21:16 GMT

DDG is once again taking his personal problems with Halle Bailey to the internet about "fighting" to see his baby boy Halo "since he was born," but fans suspect he's retaliating now that the singer is back outside and looking cozy with another man. Source: Aaron J. Thornton / Getty It sounds like co-parenting is getting messy between the exes and DDG is putting it in the spotlight. In addition to complaints about visitation and custody of Halo, he's spilling tea about the real timeline of his relationship with Halle. As a streamer, putting his life online comes with the territory. However, critics are clapping back about him divulging these details to the internet and questioning if he's trying to get Halo back or get-back at Halle.

Source: Presley Ann / Getty On a recent livestream, DDG vented about his fatherhood frustrations. In the now-viral clips, he claimed that he barely sees his son because Halo spends most of his time with Halle. He issued a disclaimer about not "getting on the internet" and "airing out her business" while doing exactly that. Make it make sense! "I live far as s**t so I'm driving HOURS to go get him. Then I get there and I can't get him or I can't see him. My son is sick right now. I want to see my son. I want to hold my son... but I don't get a chance to do that," he said, claiming new reasons always arise to interfere with their quality time. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk) "It don't have nothing to do with me working by the way. Not gonna air out her business, me & her has not been together for a long time. I just never got on the internet and said nothing," he continued. "I really feel like I'm a f*cking nanny at this point. The nanny has been able to have my son more than me. I been dealing with this s**t since he was born. I'm really just coming on this motherf**ker as just a dad that don't know what to do at this point," he added.

Montego Pacific Inc., the property owner, filed a lawsuit in Fulton County State Court on Monday, Mar. 3 alleging that the singer and reality TV star's restaurant owes $154,139.17 in unpaid rent and an additional $56,495.75 for repairs. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Blaze Steak & Seafood ?? (@blazesteakandseafood) The lawsuit also specifies that if the back rent is not paid, Burruss could accrue an additional $12,000 per month in interest. Montego Pacific has given her 10 days to settle up before taking further legal action. Blaze opened its doors in Atlanta in 2020 and is the second restaurant business venture for the Xscape singer and her husband, Todd Tucker. They also own the heavily criticized Old Lady Gang. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Old Lady Gang (@oldladygang) Though Blaze has been better received than its predecessor-scoring a 93 with the Georgia Department of Public Health in 2023-it's had its own share of issues. In 2022, two employees were engaged in a fight that resulted in one being shot and taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. It was the second incident involving a handgun at one of Burruss and Tucker's restaurants. Blaze's Troubled Track Record View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kandi Burruss (@kandi) Blaze was also forced to close its doors in 2021 after failing a restaurant inspection with a low score of 55. The issues were described as minor and did not include rodent or pest issues. One of the larger deductions occurred when the inspector observed a food handler switching from raw seafood to ready-to-eat foods without washing their hands. Another nine-point deduction was given because the prep coolers were above 41 degrees. They also cited a lack of procedures and supplies for employees to handle vomiting or diarrhea events, pink organic residue in both ice makers, and the lack of a consumer advisory on the menu for potentially raw or undercooked meat.

Wendy Williams Wants A$AP Rocky's Attorney To Help End Her Guardianship

Posted by famousradio — Sat, 8 Mar 2025 18:50 GMT

The fight to end Wendy Williams' guardianship continues, as a seemingly healthy Wendy seeks out Joe Tacopina, the famed attorney who proved A$AP Rocky's innocence in a recent trial. She believes he may be the one to help her regain freedom and return to normal. Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty According to TMZ, Tacopina recently visited the 2 Angry Men podcast with Harvey Levin and Mark Geragos. During his visit, he revealed Williams had contacted him requesting representation. Though he didn't provide many details about their conversation, he was clear that Williams' guardianship is unfair. He stated that he was "outraged" after watching Saving Wendy and felt that murderers have more freedom than Williams. Surprisingly, Levin received a text from a source close to Williams during the taping of the podcast episode. The source sent him a recent Vanity Fair article that quoted Williams' guardian, Sabrina Morrissey. Levin found a particular issue with Morrissey claiming that Williams is free to leave the facility she is currently in. "Nobody's saying that Wendy can't leave a building," she said. This seemingly referred to the two times Williams left the facility to attend her son's graduation and her father's birthday celebration. However, in the documentary, the mother of one stated she was only allowed out of the building for fresh air twice in the 30 days before the filming of the Saving Wendy. The film also clearly shows Williams confined to the 5th floor of the building. Wendy Williams' Guardianship Placed Her In A "Suffocating" Expensive Facility Costing $18K A Month

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty According to PEOPLE, Williams called in to NewsNation's Banfield to discuss the conservatorship. She provided an update on the memory care unit she resides in and the process of ending the guardianship. "Well, I don't have the freedom to do virtually anything," she shared. "As far as where I am, I'm on the fifth floor. They call it 'the memory unit,' so it's for people who don't remember anything." She stated that she's been in the unit for almost a year, and doesn't feel she belongs there. "I've met the people who live here and I've been here for almost a year now, and this is very suffocating," she said. In addition to living in the memory care unit, Williams says that the other patients need a lot more help than she does as they often need assistance showering, brushing their teeth, or using the bathroom. She also revealed the high cost of residence at the facility. "It's the memory unit, you know what I mean? Why am I here?" she said. "I have no idea, but I can tell you that it's $18,000 a month, which is extremely expensive. And what do I have? I have a bedroom, and a bathroom and a window." Despite Williams' conservatorship being seemingly strict, Williams says she is ready to get out of the building more than anything. While visiting Banfield, she reminds viewers that she has been in the building with very little access to the outside world for three years. "It's a long time. I'm ready to get out of here. I'm ready to get out and get out of the guardianship. It's suffocating, it's very lonely," she shared.

Laying The Queen To Rest: Funerals For Angie Stone Planned In ATL And South Carolina, Celebs Slated

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Angie Stone (@theangiestone) TMZ reports family plans to honor her on March 14 in Atlanta with a star-studded memorial service followed by an intimate gathering in her hometown of South Carolina. Among those slated to pay homage to the neo-soul icon are Tyler Perry, Kirk Franklin, Anthony Hamilton, Keke Wyatt, Tamela Mann, Q. Parker and Musiq Soulchild. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Angie Stone (@theangiestone) It is likely that the Atlanta service will be open to fans of the late singer as the family's official statement in the wake of her passing hinted at a more public memorial. "Currently funeral services are still being planned along with the memorial service so that Angie's fans can honor her life, music and legacy," the statement read. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lenny Kravitz (@lennykravitz) Beautiful remembrances have continued to pour in from the entertainment community as people continue to grapple with the sudden loss of a music heavy hitter. "Angie...Wow. This has taken me a couple of days to digest. I had the pleasure of knowing this queen since the very beginning of my true musical journey. I was looking for a background singer and sax player for my first club tour and she walked into my life at an audition," rockstar Lenny Kravitz wrote in an Instagram tribute. "I instantly knew that I was in the presence of greatness. We did a tour together and became family. Being from down south (as we called it) she reminded me of my grandmother and her people who were from a small town in Georgia."

Writer, producer, arranger, musician and master vocalist. The best of the best." As previously reported, the soul singer was traveling from Alabama on Mar. 1 when her sprinter van was involved in a collision with an 18-wheeler. Despite the nature of the crash, Stone was the only fatality. She was 63.

Rep. Terri Sewell Introduces The 'John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act' Ahead Of Bloody Sunda

Posted by famousradio — Fri, 7 Mar 2025 22:51 GMT

It's March 7, which means it's the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday and the legendary freedom march from Selma, Alabama, to Montgomery. And since, under the current presidential administration, every single day is a day to wonder which civil rights protections our revolutionary icons fought and bled for will be rolled back next, Democratic leaders are still promoting bills to protect basic constitutional rights for Black people - almost as if we were still in that era and "making America great again" meant not only repeating that history, but making it permanent. So, to commemorate the anniversary of Bloody Sunday - and to apply the lesson America was supposed to learn from it - U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell (D-Al.) led "every House Democrat" in introducing H.R. 14, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which is meant to "restore and modernize the protections of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA), addressing modern-day voter suppression and ensuring every voter, regardless of race or background, has equal access to the ballot box," according to a press release published Tuesday by Sewell's office. The bill specifically seeks to address a 2013 Supreme Court decision that significantly weakened the Voting Rights Act of 1965 by doing away with key provisions of the law in order to - well - I'm looking for a more sophisticated answer than "reinforce white supremacy," but I'm drawing a blank here. "Since the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act of 1965, we have seen state officials advance hundreds of new measures to make it harder for Americans to vote," Sewell said in a statement announcing the bill. "As we prepare to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday in my hometown of Selma, Alabama, it is clear; the fight for voting rights is just as urgent today as it was decades ago. I'm proud to be reintroducing the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act with the support of every House Democrat. Our bill would give us the tools necessary to address modern-day voter suppression and ensure every American has equal access to the ballot box." Here's a quick synopsis on what happened in 2013, via the Brennan Center: On June 25, 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a devastating decision, Shelby County v. Holder, which dealt a significant blow to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Court struck down the law's formula for determining which states and localities should be required to get federal approval for changes to voting policies to ensure that they were not racially discriminatory. By striking down that formula, the Court effectively put an end to that process, which was known as "preclearance." For almost 50 years, the Voting Rights Act was arguably the most effective piece of civil rights legislation in the nation's history, and the preclearance requirement, found in Section 5 of the law, was its most innovative and impactful provision. The effects of the ruling were immediate. The same day, Texas officials announced that they would implement the nation's most restrictive voter ID law, which had previously been blocked in the preclearance process. That law, which a court later ruled to be racially discriminatory, was the first of a massive wave of restrictive voting policies implemented in jurisdictions previously subject to preclearance. And it turned out that the Shelby County decision was only the first of a series of Supreme Court decisions that would roll back protections for voting rights. Not only did the Supreme court decision serve as a catalyst for voter suppression laws, but it is arguably what led to the more recent trend of Republican legislators redistricting their states' congressional maps with the expressed purpose of diluting Black voting power. 60 years was not very long ago. 60 years ago, hundreds of protesters who would be labeled "woke" agitators by current conservative political standards attempted to walk from Selma to Montgomery demanding that Black people have the unfettered right to vote. The demonstrators were brutally beaten, hosed, and gassed by state and county police officers, some of whom chased protesters down on horseback. The late Democratic senator and civil rights icon who helped lead the march, Sen. John Lewis, who Sewell's legislation is named for, famously described the protesters as "a few innocent children of God-some carrying only a bed roll, a few clutching a simple bag, a plain purse, or a backpack," who "were inspired to walk 50 dangerous miles from Selma to Montgomery to demonstrate the need for voting rights in the state of Alabama." In 2020, when President Donald Trump launched his "election fraud" propaganda campaign, he exclusively (and baselessly) challenged the election results in voting districts with large Black populations, meaning, if his "big lie" had been successful in overturning the results, it would have been Black voters who were disproportionately disenfranchised. Then, America elected him back into office four years later. We're not as far along as they claim we are, good people. RIP Sen. John Lewis, and a special shout out to Rep. Terri Sewell and all leaders who understand the fight that began when we landed on this rock, and culminated into Bloody Sunday 60 years ago, still lives on. Stay woke! The post Rep. Terri Sewell Introduces The 'John R.

LeStand On Business: LeBron James Courageously Confronts Stephen A. Smith Over Bronny James Trash Ta

Posted by famousradio — Fri, 7 Mar 2025 18:37 GMT

LeBron James might be the greatest basketball player of all time (don't @ us), but one thing he does not play about is his kids! Source: MediaNews Group/Pasadena Star-News via Getty Images / Getty Ever since the Los Angeles Lakers legend's son, Bronny James, joined the NBA, he's been faced with some over-the-top criticism from sports media around the world. The 20-year-old might ride the bench for the Lakers, but he's put up some seriously impressive stats in the G-League, and regardless of his actual basketball ability, the media continues to be relentless about every move he makes. One personality who consistently criticizes Bronny is Stephen A. Smith, who is known for purposefully rocking the boat for engagement. At the Lakers game on Thursday, March 6-during which the LA team beat the New York Knicks in overtime-video captured by fans showed James confronting Smith on the court. LeBron looks visibly upset in the clip, shaking his head back and forth disapprovingly at Stephen A. before walking away from the situation.

( function() { var func = function() { var iframe = document.getElementById('wpcom-iframe-4539990175c0dc3534b1a9d1f07dcbc5') if ( iframe ) { iframe.onload = function() { iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( { 'msg_type': 'poll_size', 'frame_id': 'wpcom-iframe-4539990175c0dc3534b1a9d1f07dcbc5' }, "https:\/\/embeds.go.ione.nyc" ); } } // Autosize iframe var funcSizeResponse = function( e ) { var origin = document.createElement( 'a' ); origin.href = e.origin; // Verify message origin if ( 'embeds.go.ione.nyc' !== origin.host ) return; // Verify message is in a format we expect if ( 'object' !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type ) return; switch ( e.data.msg_type ) { case 'poll_size:response': var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id ); if ( iframe && '' === iframe.width ) iframe.width = '100%'; if ( iframe && '' === iframe.height ) iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height ); return; default: return; } } if ( 'function' === typeof window.addEventListener ) { window.addEventListener( 'message', funcSizeResponse, false ); } else if ( 'function' === typeof window.attachEvent ) { window.attachEvent( 'onmessage', funcSizeResponse ); } } if (document.readyState === 'complete') { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ } else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( 'DOMContentLoaded', func, false ); } else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( 'onreadystatechange', func ); } } )(); Though he continually insisted that he wasn't going to talk about the conversation publicly, he did just that, citing the viral video as the reason for him addressing the matter on the show. "That was LeBron James coming up to me, unexpectedly, I might add, to confront me about making sure I mind what I say about I say about his son," Smith said. "Can't repeat the words because they ain't suited for FCC airwaves, that's what he was doing. And I thought long and hard about this over the last few hours cause I had no intention on talking about this at all. And the reason was because it was a one-on-one, I wouldn't say it was a conversation but it was a one-on-one confrontation. "But then I wake up and everybody from ESPN, my agent and everybody else sending me that this thing had gone viral, so, ultimately it was unavoidable and that is why I have to discuss it now," Stephen A. explained. "That wasn't a basketball player confronting me, that was a parent, that was a father. I can't sit here and be angry or feel slighted by LeBron James in that regard. By all accounts, he's obviously a wonderful family man and father who cares very, very deeply about his son, and based on some of the comments he had heard or shall I say I think he thought he heard, clearly took exception to some of the things he heard me say, and he confronted me about it." Smith went on to stress that James' team has his contact information in case the father of three is interested in a private conversation, but it seems like LeBron already got exactly what he needed to off his chest. "That is not what he elected to do. Instead, he elected to confront me while I was sitting courtside," Smith told viewers of the public conversation. "He walked right up to me, and he said what he had to say, and he feels like I was slighting his son. Now let me tell you what I feel. What I would have said if we were in a different environment, cause I was not going to engage in a confrontation at that particular moment in that setting. But if he had had that conversation, I would have said to LeBron James I never would speak negatively about your son. I was talking about you." View this post on Instagram A post shared by ESPN (@espn) LeBron's visible frustration over the media's coverage of his son should come as no surprise as Stephen A. is far from the only media personality to talk negatively about Bronny on a daily basis. Though some have insisted that the 20-year-old is subject to criticism just like any other sports figure, Bronny averages less than 5 minutes a game, but is talked about more than any other bench player in the league. Hopefully, LeBron's confrontation will deter other sportscasters from talking about Bronny incessantly in the future. The post LeStand On Business: LeBron James Courageously Confronts Stephen A.

Feud Far From Finished: Amber Rose Taunts Joseline Hernandez After She Threatens To Sue Over 'Colleg

Posted by famousradio — Thu, 6 Mar 2025 23:10 GMT

After Amber Rose told her Club Shay Shay side of the story about throwing College Hill hands with Joseline Hernandez, the Puerto Rican Princess threatened legal action, and the tawdry Trump supporter clapped back. "Don't cry now," said Muva MAGA while alleging that she's unafraid of a lawsuit. "" Source: Robin L Marshall/ Paul Archuleta / GettyWhile chatting with Shannon Sharpe on the podcaster's popular show, Club Shay Shay, released March 5, Amber Rose, 41, claimed that Hernandez provoked their fight because the reality TV star was mad she wouldn't have sex with her while her husband Balistic Beats watched. "The whole time I was on College Hill, she was in my ear. She was saying 'just gimme a chance one time [and] if you cool with it, we can do it in front of my husband. But if not, it could just be me and you,'" Rose claimed. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Club Shay Shay (@clubshayshay) Amber alleged that she tried to politely decline the Zeus star's sexual advances, saying that she was "flattered" by the request, but Hernandez allegedly kept trying to make her wild fantasy come true, at one point, allegedly bending over and showing her private parts. Rose said she never would have agreed to a smash session because she's "heavy on the hetero" and not attracted to women. "Joseline is a beautiful girl... an idiot, but a beautiful girl. I'm not going to deny that," the celeb told Sharpe. After declining multiple times, Rose claimed that Hernandez started bullying her, questioning her race with remarks like, "Why you talk white but you Black?" and alleged that she began to wonder if the "Dun Cha Cha" singer was "obsessed" with her. The name-calling continued, eventually leading to the physical altercation between the two last year on College Hill, according to Rose. During Club Shay Shay, Amber alleged that the show's editors cut out the "lead-up" to their fight, in which Hernandez accused the mother of two of wanting to be "a white girl." The editing made it seem like Rose lost her temper after being bullied by Hernandez, but according to Rose, that wasn't the full story. Allegedly, Hernandez jolted at her as if she was going to attack her as she walking past, so she made the first move. Watch Video on YouTube "She has a history of violence. What? I'm gonna let you bully me and then beat me up? Are you dumb?.... I'mma get off first," Rose, said, while sharing that her parents were happy that she threw the first punch and defended herself. All in all, when it comes to reconciling with Hernandez, Rose expressed no desire to do so. "She's an ignorant b**** and I don't think about her..I just don't like her. There's no reason to forgive her," the star said. Hernandez isn't keen on apologizing either.

National Treasure: Rep. Jasmine Crockett Says Donald Trump Should 'Grow A Spine' And 'Stop Being Put

Posted by famousradio — Thu, 6 Mar 2025 23:09 GMT

Source: Bill Clark/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images/Victor J. Blue/Bloomberg / Getty Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) is the one. She is the voice that the Democrat party needs to follow when it comes to speaking plainly, speaking like the people, and speaking on the people's behalf. The calls for decorum and politeness can go straight to hell and the democratic politicians called for such behavior can go right to hell alongside those pleas for respectability. Donald Trump and the Republican party are the enemies of the American citizens and there should be no quarter for their agenda, talking points, or political existence. This is why many democratic voters are fed up with the party's inability to understand the severity of the situation and act accordingly. There is no mandate for etiquette, there is a mandate to exhaust all efforts to keep Project 2025 from coming into bloom. Rep. Crockett went viral last week after telling attorney Joe Gallina that DOGE d-rider Elon Musk should "f**k off" and this week she has more profane suggestions for Musk's f hrer. When asked by Gallina what she would like to tell Trump to his face, Crockett spoke the plain English that Black folks all around the country could understand and embrace. ( function() { var func = function() { var iframe = document.getElementById('wpcom-iframe-734d3be1a221142e964a3af04dccc020') if ( iframe ) { iframe.onload = function() { iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( { 'msg_type': 'poll_size', 'frame_id': 'wpcom-iframe-734d3be1a221142e964a3af04dccc020' }, "https:\/\/embeds.go.ione.nyc" ); } } // Autosize iframe var funcSizeResponse = function( e ) { var origin = document.createElement( 'a' ); origin.href = e.origin; // Verify message origin if ( 'embeds.go.ione.nyc' !== origin.host ) return; // Verify message is in a format we expect if ( 'object' !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type ) return; switch ( e.data.msg_type ) { case 'poll_size:response': var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id ); if ( iframe && '' === iframe.width ) iframe.width = '100%'; if ( iframe && '' === iframe.height ) iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height ); return; default: return; } } if ( 'function' === typeof window.addEventListener ) { window.addEventListener( 'message', funcSizeResponse, false ); } else if ( 'function' === typeof window.attachEvent ) { window.attachEvent( 'onmessage', funcSizeResponse ); } } if (document.readyState === 'complete') { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ } else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( 'DOMContentLoaded', func, false ); } else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( 'onreadystatechange', func ); } } )(); God bless and keep this woman. Hopefully, old heads like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and "centrist" Democrats will get their heads out of their a**es and follow suit. Following Trump's speech to Congress earlier this week, Rep. Crockett also made it clear what she believes is Trump's intent for Black folks in America during her appearance of the State of the People livestream , according to AOL. "They have decided to go after immigrants and things like that and say, 'oh they takin your black jobs, they taking your black jobs, not really," She continued: "They are obviously jobs they want us to go back to, such as working the fields, those immigrants that come into our country work the fields, something that we ain't done in a long time and clearly he is trying to make us go back to the fields." We love our Black job but we're not going back into the fields for anybody. Trump and 'em can talk all the s**t they want, FAFO protocol is in full effect. The post National Treasure: Rep.

Divesting Black Dollars: Pastor Jamal Bryant & Civil Rights Activists Launch 40-Day Target Boycott

Posted by famousradio — Thu, 6 Mar 2025 21:21 GMT

Apparently, Blackout Friday was just a drill, and the real boycott has arrived. Source: Derek White / Getty On Feb. 28, the last day of Black History Month, millions of Americans stayed home, divested their dollars, and boycotted retailers and food chains including Target, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy and McDonald's for 24 hours, because those establishments hopped aboard the MAGA Supremacy train by rolling back their diversity initiatives. Now, consumers are engaging in a new boycott - one that requires far more commitment - specifically of Target, and Pastor Jamal Bryant spearheads it. "We're asking people to divest from Target because they have turned their back on our community," Rev. Jamal Bryant, the senior pastor at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta and leader of the JHB (Jamal Harrison Bryant) Movement, told CNN. Bryant and other activists have put out a call to action for a 40-day boycott of Target, which started Monday, March 3. According to a press release sent to BOSSIP, Bryant detailed the "Target FAST" and said he was working alongside Rev. Dr. Robert M. Waterman, Senior Pastor of Antioch Baptist Church, who welcomed him and supported the idea alongside 108 civic leaders, elected officials, pastors, and community organizers. "We are witnessing a pivotal moment in economic activism," said Dr. Jamal Bryant. "This isn't just about Target-it's about ensuring that corporations understand that Black consumers demand respect, representation, and real investment in our communities." Bryant also spoke about the fast on The Breakfast Club. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pastor Jamal Bryant (@jamalhbryant) Target was one of the first retail chains to publicly announce it was ditching its DEI programs, including one aimed at promoting and shelving products by Black-owned businesses. It was one of many companies that rolled back such programs just after President Donald Trump was sworn into office and immediately started signing executive orders to ban DEI from every corner of the federal government.

Source: Justin Sullivan / Getty (Trump has also, numerous times, threatened to withhold federal funding from any entity he can't legally force to drop DEI, which would still have nothing to do with these privately-owned corporations that had no obligation to join Trump's racist anti-DEI devolution, but did so anyway.) So, even though Target wasn't the only company to get rid of its DEI programs, it - and I swear this is an unintended pun - placed a target on its own back by being the first and most public, which is why it's catching the bulk of the public backlash. And it couldn't come at a worse time for the company. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pastor Jamal Bryant (@jamalhbryant) From CNN: Customer visits to Target, Walmart and Costco have slowed over the last four weeks, but they have dropped the most at Target, according to Placer.ai., which uses phone location data to track visits. The slowdown could also be attributed to weather, economic conditions and other variables, Placer.ai cautioned. The data "shows a clear drop in traffic in late January into mid-February following the company's step back from DEI," Joseph Feldman, an analyst at Telsey Advisory Group, said in a note to clients last week. The boycott also comes as Target faces pressure from tariffs and a consumer pullback. Target said Tuesday its sales declined in February and it expects sales to only grow around 1% this year. Target CEO Brian Cornell said in an interview with CNBC Tuesday that Trump's tariffs on Mexico may force the company to raise prices on fruits and vegetables as soon as this week. Target also said that "tariff uncertainty" will impact its profit this quarter. Cornell said Target relies heavily on Mexican produce imports during the winter. "Those are categories where we'll try to protect pricing, but the consumer will likely see price increases over the next couple of days," he said. On Tuesday, we reported that Trump foolishly imposed hefty tariffs on Canada and Mexico, which he promised to do during his campaign. This resulted in our two closest allies and international trade partners-plus China, which is also impacted by the tariffs-imposing or threatening to impose tariffs of their own on the U.S. in retaliation. So, basically, Target followed Trump into his heada*** anti-DEI war, and now the company is set to lose more revenue on top of what it has already lost due to Trump's policies. Welp, it's FAFO season! Have the day you voted for, good people!

You know why we're here Source: Stephanie Augello/Variety via Getty Images Back at it again with this week's hottest thirst traps that dropped during an eventful week dominated by Aaron Pierre and Teyanaaa hard launching their Pride Rockship, Black Hollywood's biggest stars stunning at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty, Porsha Williams denying calling ICE on Simon Guobadia, Jayson Tatum seemingly confirming the birth of his son with Ella Mai, and more. As promised, we've compiled swoon-worthy stunners (and our thirst-trappin' celebrity faves) with Kelis making her return to the series after being linked to Ghostbuster grandpop Bill Murray who (officially) denied their swirlship during an appearance on SiriusXM's Sway in the Morning. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kelis (@kelis) "I met this girl named Kelis," Bill told host Sway Calloway. "I got great press that I was dating her, which really raised my cred. Well, it was false humility again." Murray went on to explain that they met years ago after he saw Kelis in the music video for Ol' Dirty Bastard's 1999 hit "Got Your Money." "I love that video," Bill, 74, admitted. "I watched that and I kept going, 'That's the silliest thing. How did I miss that when it came out in the first place?' It's so crazy, and I'm going 'Who is the girl with the red hair?' And it was Kelis, and I just had to meet her sometime. And she turned out to be spectacular." Bill revealed he still speaks with the 45-year-old singer but ultimately shut down the romance rumors, joking, "No, no, but, you know, one of us could be on the rebound any second."

Khlo Kardashian Admits She Lets Daughter True Think She's Married To Tristan Thompson: 'Kids Should

Posted by famousradio — Thu, 6 Mar 2025 17:40 GMT

Khlo Kardashian's daughter thinks she's married to ex Tristan Thompson, and for now, she's letting it stay that way. Source: Jerritt Clark / Getty PageSix reports that in the latest episode of The Kardashians, the Good American founder revealed that her 6-year-old daughter, True Thompson, "thinks her parents are married." Khlo went on to explain to her best friend Malika Haqq that not correcting her little one is the "right thing to do" for now. One of the reasons she's letting True believe they're married is because she hopes to pass down traditional values to her, hoping she wants to tie the knot one day before having children. "That's what I wanna teach her," Khlo said. "Get married, have kids." PageSix added that Kardashian said in a confessional that she does plan to set the record straight with True "when she's older," defending her decision by saying, "Right now, I believe you do things for your kids because kids should not be involved in adult problems." Still, the reality star admitted that it "bothers" her that True and her son Tatum, 2, look at her and Thompson-who dated on and off from 2016 to 2021-and "think ... 'This is what a marriage is.'" Because her two kids still think her and Thompson are married, she explained that her kids may grow up believing, "Oh, you're married to someone and they don't live with you. And you never have to kiss them or you don't sleep in the same bed together." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Khloe Kardashian (@khloekardashian) Despite her past struggles, Khlo insists she "would love" her children to see her "have a husband one day." "I would love for them to see love and affection and romance. I do want them to have that," she continued. After revealing to viewers in 2024 that she hadn't been on a date since calling it quits with Tristan, Khlo assured fans that she's now on a better path to finding a life partner. During the same episode, Kardashian told Haqq that while she's not on dating apps, she is still putting herself out there. "I'm doing things, but I'm not on Hinge, I'm not on Raya," she said. Watch Video on YouTube Khlo 's dramatic, on-again, off-again romance with Tristan began in 2016, weathering multiple cheating scandals throughout their relationship. Despite multiple reconciliations, the pair ended things for good in 2021 after Thompson secretly fathered a child with Maralee Nichols while he and Kardashian conceived son Tatum via surrogate.

"First I would like to say, put God first and don't give up. If you fail at something, then get back up, put your head up and put your best foot forward. Taking a loss is not a loss in the spiritual realm-it's a blessing. So keep going. Every day that you have breath, do your research and find yourself a mentor and ask questions. Just don't give up on your dreams, even if others don't see the vision." A strong partnership like Chef Baul's and Daniella's cannot go unnoticed, and Daniella told BOSSIP that she's thankful that he's in her village alongside her and God.

Roy Ayers, 'Everybody Loves The Sunshine' Hitmaker & Jazz Legend, Dead At 84

Posted by famousradio — Thu, 6 Mar 2025 01:58 GMT

Roy Ayers, the legendary jazz vibraphonist behind the iconic hit "Everybody Loves the Sunshine," has passed away at the age of 84. Source: David Redfern / Getty The news was first reported by Variety, which spoke with Ayers' family. "It is with great sadness that the family of legendary vibraphonist, composer, and producer Roy Ayers announce his passing which occurred on March 4, 2025 in New York City after a long illness," read an official statement, describing him as "highly influential and sought after as a music collaborator." HipHopWired reports that artists have sampled Ayers countless times, particularly for 1976's "Everybody Loves The Sunshine." Watch Video on YouTube Mary J. Blige's "My Life" (1994) heavily interpolates the song, while Common's "The Light" (2000), produced by J Dilla, prominently samples the track. Mos Def also paid homage in "Sunshine" (2004), incorporating Ayers' track, while Brand Nubian's Wake Up (Reprise in the Sunshine)" (1990) flips the song into a socially conscious anthem. More recently, in 2015, he appeared on Tyler, the Creator's track "Find Your Wings" and performed at the rapper's Camp Flog Gnaw festival two years later. In 2017, Ayers recalled to The Guardian that "Everybody Loves The Sunshine" came to him spontaneously on a hot day while recording at Electric Lady Studios in New York, a space once owned by Jimi Hendrix. "I just got this phrase in my head: 'Everybody loves the sunshine,'" he said.

Source: Mathew Imaging / Getty From there, he said the lyrics flowed effortlessly, and he built the song around warm summer imagery. When he turned it in to the record company, Ayers said he was immediately excited and knew it would connect with people. "It seems to capture every generation. Everybody loves the sunshine - except Dracula," said Ayers in The Guardian. Roy Ayers was born on September 10, 1940, in Los Angeles, California, and grew up surrounded by music. His mom taught piano, and his dad played the trombone. NPR reports that at age five, Ayers saw Lionel Hampton's Big Band perform, and Hampton handed him a pair of vibraphone mallets-a moment that stuck with him for life.

Source: Raymond Boyd / Getty The legendary musician went on to take piano lessons, sing in the church choir, and later study music theory at Los Angeles City College. That early exposure to jazz, funk, and soul shaped his unique sound, setting him up to become one of the most influential vibraphonists of all time. His enduring legacy as a groundbreaking artist and cultural icon ensures that his music will continue to inspire generations to come. Ayers is survived by his wife, Argerie, and their children, Mtume and Ayana Ayers. Watch Video on YouTube R.I.P.

'Raising Kanan' Exclusive: Patina Miller Talks Raq's Reign, Relationship With Kanan & The Character'

Posted by famousradio — Wed, 5 Mar 2025 23:47 GMT

Patina Miller's electrifying performance as Raquel "Raq" Thomas in Power Book III: Raising Kanan captivates audiences with every scene, and now, the powerhouse actress is giving BOSSIP an exclusive look into the art of delivering Raq's unforgettable witty wordplay while showcasing her unrelenting love for her son. Source: John Nacion / Getty Ahead of season four, fans are eager to see how Raq's iron grip on her world begins to unravel, especially in the wake of her shocking decision to take out Kanan's biological father, Detective Howard. According to Miller, Raq had no choice but to eliminate the cop for Kanan's own protection. She admitted, however, that because of that, their already fractured bond will face new challenges. "I think their relationship was pretty much strained already," she told BOSSIP. "Kanan is in a part of his journey where he's not that naive little boy anymore. He's done some really questionable things himself, and they are both having to deal with the consequences of their choices." "They want so desperately to find some common ground, but Raq knows that it's never going to be what she needs it to be, and Kanan knows that he can never really trust her in that way again," she added. The season four trailer shows that Raq and Kanan's relationship has taken on a new dynamic, one rooted in business rather than family. According to Miller, their bond is less personal and more transactional. "She has to now just do her own thing, and Kanan is on his own. I wouldn't say they're at odds in this new season, but they are certainly not in the season one world anymore." Still, despite that, the love between them is still there. "They will always be connected. He will always love his mother, and she will always love him. But now, it's about watching them navigate this new relationship," she told BOSSIP. Patina Miller Talks Raq's Commanding Monologues Easily one of the most striking aspects of Raq's character is her ability to command a room with her words, particularly in emotionally charged monologues. A prime example is the moment she asserts her dominance over her brother Lou in season 3, telling him outright that she "owns him." Watch Video on YouTube This pivotal scene not only marked a turning point in their relationship but may have also triggered a mental break and downward spiral for Raq's little brother. It also cemented Patina Miller's reputation as one of the most commanding-and possibly the strongest-performers in the Power universe, earning her widespread acclaim. When asked about the mindset she taps into to bring big moments like that to life, Miller credited the show's exceptional writing and the talented cast that surrounds her for pulling her into character. "I think the writing is really good, so I am able to sort of channel that," she told Managing Editor Dani Canada. "Everything's kind of set up for me to just do what I do-and that, at the end of the day, is to speak the truth, or Rock's truth, and whatever that is." She added that Raq's monologues are usually born out of necessity after she's been pushed too far. "If you're gonna give a monologue, it's because she's probably said so many things, so many warnings. There's always a buildup to having to say all of these things, and Raq was fired up at that moment." Ultimately, for the acclaimed actress, stepping into Raq's shoes means embodying all of her complexities: her love, her anger, and her calculated control. "I like playing when I'm on set. I like to do it in different ways, think about the dialogue, then do it in the opposite way. It's about creativity and finding the most powerful way to convey what Raq wants." With Raising Kanan's fourth season promising more Power struggles and betrayals, Patina Miller reminds us that Raq's reign is far from over. And for that, we're forever grateful. Watch our exclusive!

Democrats Respond: Hakeem Jeffries, Cory Booker, AOC, And More Challenge Trump's Congressional Speec

Posted by famousradio — Wed, 5 Mar 2025 21:32 GMT

Source: Kevin Dietsch / Getty Donald Trump's speech to Congress last night was more of the same in regards to his effort to lie, divide, oppress, suppress, and patronize Americans who can see through his bully pulpit bulls***. The only people still trying to convince the public that Trump is a brilliant leader is his cavalcade of obsequious conservative bootlickers. As BOSSIP reported in a previous post, Democrats used various methods of protest against the maniacal ramblings of the out-of-shape orange man. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries spoke out in defense of "a majority" of his party's members who were demurely demonstrative during Trump's speech Via The Hill: "[An] overwhelming majority of House Democrats approached the speech with the seriousness that it deserved on behalf of the American people," Jeffries told a small group of reporters Wednesday morning in the Capitol. Senator Cory Booker took to social media to air out Republicans for cheering on known lies.

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib took to X, to point out the obvious hypocrisy of Trump's championing "free speech." ( function() { var func = function() { var iframe = document.getElementById('wpcom-iframe-d158a041ac7a99ae0da6d2e14e55de9f') if ( iframe ) { iframe.onload = function() { iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( { 'msg_type': 'poll_size', 'frame_id': 'wpcom-iframe-d158a041ac7a99ae0da6d2e14e55de9f' }, "https:\/\/embeds.go.ione.nyc" ); } } // Autosize iframe var funcSizeResponse = function( e ) { var origin = document.createElement( 'a' ); origin.href = e.origin; // Verify message origin if ( 'embeds.go.ione.nyc' !== origin.host ) return; // Verify message is in a format we expect if ( 'object' !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type ) return; switch ( e.data.msg_type ) { case 'poll_size:response': var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id ); if ( iframe && '' === iframe.width ) iframe.width = '100%'; if ( iframe && '' === iframe.height ) iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height ); return; default: return; } } if ( 'function' === typeof window.addEventListener ) { window.addEventListener( 'message', funcSizeResponse, false ); } else if ( 'function' === typeof window.attachEvent ) { window.attachEvent( 'onmessage', funcSizeResponse ); } } if (document.readyState === 'complete') { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ } else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( 'DOMContentLoaded', func, false ); } else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( 'onreadystatechange', func ); } } )(); Similarly, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn't buy one bit of what Trump was selling. AOC responded via a live rebuttal to her nearly 9 million followers on Instagram. MSNBC reports that AOC noted all the things Trump didn't say in his speech, noting that he was trying to distract from the bigger issues. "Donald Trump said a lot of random things about studies and waste and all this other stuff, he did not talk about Medicaid, not once. And as a certain right-wing operative likes to say, 'MAGA's on Medicaid,'" Ocasio-Cortez said. "And MAGA: Trump is coming for your Medicaid. MAGA: Republicans are coming for your Medicaid." She continued, "These Republicans, I'm telling you all, they are getting scared. "Trump not mentioning Medicaid at the State of the Union is the game. He doesn't talk about it, it's what he fears and he knows it's dynamite. The House Republicans know that it's dynamite for them and that's why they're talking about not hosting town halls. "We need to be creatively organizing in Republican districts. And I don't want to hear, okay, Republicans don't listen. They are afraid of this. I'm telling you." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@aoc) Another part of last night's speech that has garnered a disgusted response online was Trump's highlighting of Devarjaye "DJ" Daniel, a Black 13-year-old boy who had dreams of becoming a police officer until he was diagnosed with brain cancer.

Who Said Dat?! Porsha Williams Denies Calling ICE On 'Slithering' Snake Simon Guobadia, Weighs In On

Posted by famousradio — Wed, 5 Mar 2025 19:39 GMT

Porsha Williams knows you think she reported her ex-husband, Simon Guobadia, to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and she's saying, "Who said dat?!" Not only that, but Porsha's weighing in on the shocking exit of an O.G. and explaining her drama with her (former?) friend. Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Porsha Williams Talks Simon Guobadia Divorce, Denies Calling ICE The Real Housewife of Atlanta, whose impending divorce will be shown in Sunday's #RHOA premiere, appeared on The Breakfast Club and firmly denied any involvement in Guobadia's immigration troubles. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Breakfast Club (@breakfastclubam) As previously noted, TMZ reported that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained the Nigerian businessman on Friday, Feb. 21, after he filed a request for citizenship in January but was denied. On Wednesday, when asked directly whether she called ICE on her estranged husband, 60, Williams was quick to shut down the speculation. "No, no, it doesn't benefit me at all for him to be locked up," she said. "Mentally and financially, it doesn't benefit me. Just because you're going through a divorce doesn't mean you hate someone. I hate actions, I hate lies, I hate a lot of characteristics, but I love the person, you know, and I would never wish harm on anybody." She also emphasized that she has no ill will towards him despite their ongoing divorce and added that she's mostly in the dark about Simon's legal status, and only knows what's been reported in the media. "As far as I know, they've been posting that he's still being detained," said Porsha to Breakfast Club co-host Lauren Larosa. "I haven't looked into it that much. I just know I'm trying to finish my divorce, and I can't do that if I don't have a person to divorce." At one point, Charlamagne Tha God joked that any man would go to great lengths, either legally or illegally, to be with someone as beautiful as her, and Porsha laughed while saying, "I think he's having a whole issue that started before I was even born. Unfortunately, it just is what it is." The reality star's comments come amid ongoing speculation about Guobadia's legal troubles, including reports that his citizenship was denied and that he is currently detained. Porsha went on to claim that she is focused on closing this chapter of her life, but thinks Simon will somehow his slither his way out of trouble. "I know that he's a slithering snake," said Porsha. "He's gonna find his way out of it. I'm sure he'll be fine. And I pray for him, his family, and I hope they all figure it out."

As previously reported, the songstress, 34, seemingly confirmed her romance with the Mufasa: The Lion King star, 30, by dropping a sleek, black-and-white photo carousel on Instagram. The post, set to SZA's sultry track "Take You Down," was captioned, "Oscar night in black & white, no grey area." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jimmy Neutch (@teyanataylor) And just like that, the internet lost it, and celebrities did too. Celebs React To Teyana Taylor's Aaron Pierre "Hard Launch" While fans have been speculating for months, it was the reactions from fellow celebs that really sealed the moment.

Kim Kardashian gave the two a black heart emoji in the comments, while Taraji P. Henson hyped up the couple with an enthusiastic, "YES MA'AM!!!!!!!!!!!!." Queen & Slim star Jodie Turner-Smith also commented on her fellow Brit potentially dating Teyana with, "IT'S RIGHT HERE IN BLACK & WHITE HONEYYYYYYY" and Niecy Nash, who posed with the couple alongside her HERSband Jessic Betts the night before, wrote "Mind ya business" with laughing emojis. SZA also expressed her approval writing, "Not y'all both fine and feline in the most mysterious way. Giving lion and lionness." Serena wrote, "Oooop lol love this," and Marsai Martin added, "Exactly," with a heart-eye emoji. Also interesting was Lori Harvey's reaction. Lori, who BOSSIP's own Char Masona theorized might scoop up Aaron Pierre (before Lori personally shut it down,) sent some love her homegirl Teyana's way. "Niceeeeee," wrote Lori in the comments. Meanwhile, JT of City Girls echoed what many were thinking, dropping a comment simply asking for confirmation. "So y'all go together? Please respond," wrote the rapper.

GTFOHWTBS: Conservative Cop-Lovin' Incel Ben Shapiro Calls For Trump To Pardon Derek Chauvin

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 4 Mar 2025 21:52 GMT

Source: Minnesota Department of Corrections / Minnesota Department of Corrections George Floyd's murder at the hands of then-Minneapolis Police Department officer Derek Chauvin became the tipping point of the 2020 summer of protest. Floyd's name was one of many added to the historical list of Black men and women unjustly killed by law enforcement but something about the cruel and inhumane way that we collectively experienced his death struck a chord with millions of Americans. We all watched a police officer kneel Floyd's neck for over nine grueling minutes in broad daylight with an audience of witnesses. Ultimately, he was held responsible for his crimes and sentenced to prison for a total of 43.5 concurrent years between state and federal convictions.

Source: MediaNews Group/St. Paul Pioneer Press via Getty Images / Getty Nothing can bring George Floyd's life back, but justice was served. Four years later, conservatives have been emboldened by the hyper-disruptive Trump administration 2.0 and are trying their damnedest to get away with all of their wildest and most depraved fantasies in the midst of the political chaos. Enter Ben Shapiro, the right-wing talking head who has made a career off of being one of the most proudly ignorant men in modern times. According to a report in The Daily Wire, Shapiro is calling for Trump to pardon Chauvin and release him from prison. "I think it is worthwhile to remember that there is a man who's rotting in prison because the media decided in the middle of 2020 that they were going to turn a tragic law enforcement stop that ended with the death of a man that had a significant problem with drugs and pre-existing health problems into the raison d' tre of the entire 2020 election," Shapiro said. "It led to vast chaos. It led to, again, the destruction of racial comity in the United States, $2 billion in property damage, and a guy rotting in prison who the evidence demonstrates certainly was not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in that case." Check out this clown's comments in full in the video below.

International Hater's Anthem: Trump's Tariffs Provoke Retaliation From Canada, Mexico And China

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 4 Mar 2025 21:00 GMT

It's almost as if President Donald Trump is on an unending MAGA mission to alienate all of the United States' allies except Russia. Source: The Washington Post / Getty When he's not ticking off European nations by staging a performative shouting match with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, he's ticking off non-European nations by musing about colonizing the Gaza Strip and kicking all of the Palestinians out. But just in case you forgot Trump's xenophobic aggression is not limited to countries that don't share a continent with us, Trump has made good on his promise to impose hefty tariffs on Canada and Mexico - potentially tossing a huge MAGA wrench into the international trade machine - and now the two nations, plus China, are retaliating. According to the Economist, Trump's 25% tariffs on our neighboring nations went into effect at 12:01 a.m. EST on Tuesday, March 4. Aside from the 25% charge on imported goods from Mexico and Canada, Trump also imposed another 10% tariff on Chinese goods, which is in addition to the 10% charge he implemented last month, which was already in addition to tariffs imposed during his first term. It's like the MAGA world keeps trying to convince us that Trump will be the leader to bring the world together, and Trump keeps on shouting, "I DON'T LIKE THEM FOOLS UPSTAIRS OR DOWNSTAIRS AND TELL ALL THEM PEOPLE ACROSS THE HALL THEY AIN'T SH*T EITHER!"

Source: VIEW press / Getty From the Economist: If he persists, the tariffs on Canada and Mexico will stand as the most extreme and most dangerous act of protectionism by an American president in nearly a century. They threaten to blow apart a three-way trading relationship between America, Canada and Mexico that has been one of the world's most successful examples of economic integration, particularly in the car industry. Some vehicle parts cross America's borders seven times before reaching final assembly. Business representatives have warned that these will be hit with tariffs each time they cross the border. Spiralling costs could force some firms to halt production. In Mr Trump's glib view, the tariffs will coax carmakers to build plants in America. In reality, the disruptions will lead to snarled supply chains and higher costs for consumers. Analysts calculate that the average car price in America will rise by about $2,500. Look, I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything, but the president who has the Tesla guy in his pocket (or vice versa?) has just implemented tariffs that are likely to cause a spike in automobile prices and, well - nah, let me go ahead and shut up. Anyway, now the leaders of Canada, Mexico and China are hitting back at the tariff tyrant, mostly by implementing tariffs of their own. From CBS News: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced immediate retaliation to the new U.S. tariffs in a statement late Monday evening. He said Canada would impose a $30 billion counter-tariff on goods imported from the U.S. immediately, escalating to $155 billion worth of American products within the next 21 days. Trudeau has said previously that Canada would target American beer, wine, bourbon and home appliances, along with Florida orange juice, with its measures. "Canada will not let this unjustified decision go unanswered," Trudeau said, adding that he was already discussing with Canada's provincial leaders various non-tariff measures that could be imposed if the Trump administration doesn't lift its tariffs. "Because of the tariffs imposed by the U.S., Americans will pay more for groceries, gas, and cars, and potentially lose thousands of jobs. Tariffs will disrupt an incredibly successful trading relationship. They will violate the very trade agreement that was negotiated by President Trump in his last term," Trudeau said. Trudeau also noted that while Trump is bungling international trade with, literally, his closest allies, he's out here playing kissing cousins with a whole warlord.

Source: DAVE CHAN / Getty "Today the United States launched a trade war against Canada, their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin, a lying murderous dictator. Make that make sense," Trudeau said. "We two friends fighting is exactly what our opponents around the world want to see." On Tuesday, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian told reporters in Beijing that the "Chinese people cannot be swayed by [Trump's] fallacies, deterred by [Trump's] intimidation, and [Trump's] bullying tactics are not the right way to deal with China."

Source: picture alliance / Getty "If the U.S. has other intentions and is committed to waging a tariff war, trade war, or any other kind of war, China will respond in kind," Lin said, adding a call for the White House "to abandon its bullying tactics and return to the necessary track of dialogue and cooperation at an early date." CBS News reported that, like Canada, the Chinese government has already announced tariffs to counter Trump's tariffs. Meanwhile, Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum has also vowed to retaliate against Trump's "inconceivable" tariffs.

Source: ALFREDO ESTRELLA / Getty "It's inconceivable that they don't think about the damage this is going to cause to United States citizens and businesses with the increase in prices for things produced in our country," Sheinbaum said. "Also, the damage it will cause by stopping job creation in both countries. No one wins with this decision." You're losing all your friends, America. And when the sh*t hits the fan, you'll know who to thank.

#MarriedToMessiness: Song-Singing Dr. G Explains Why He Wanted To Press Charges Against Quad's 'Bull

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 4 Mar 2025 19:44 GMT

Bravo watchers were floored during Sunday's episode of Married To Medicine when Dr. Gregory Lunceford fessed up to going to the authorities against Miss Quad's boyfriend, King, but there's apparently more to the story. Source: Prince Williams/WireImage/Bravo / Getty Dr. G, who was previously married to Miss Quad from 2012 to 2018, revealed that he was seeking battery charges against the ATL Exotic & Luxury Cars owner after they almost came to blows, but it turns out he never completely followed through. What he did do, however, was release an eyebrow-raising song with lyrics about wanting to be "set free," complete with video footage of him recording the cringey chant. Dr. G Says He Felt Threatened, Released A Song Titled "Set Me Free" In Wake Of Drama Although King never physically touched Dr. Gregory, the psychiatrist admitted to co-stars Dr. Scott and Dr. Eugene that he felt threatened when King charged at him "like a maniac" during their beachside argument. The altercation escalated after King became enraged when the doctor confirmed he had told Webb to "shut the f*** up" the night before and then called her "a big f***ing mouth," according to a clip shared by The Bravo Shaderoom.

Baller Babies! Celtics Star Jayson Tatum Seemingly Confirms Birth Of Son With Singer Ella Mai

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 4 Mar 2025 18:29 GMT

Jayson Tatum loves showing off sweet moments with his 7-year-old son, Deuce Tatum, but it looks like he's finally confirmed he's also a father to a newborn. Source: Kevin Sousa, Paul Bruinooge / Getty Images While the Boston Celtics star hasn't exactly kept his relationship with singer Ella Mai private, the pair still has yet to confirm their coupledom publicly. The first time fans got some confirmation of their relationship was when they posed for a family portrait following Tatum's win at the Paris Olympics, when Mai held up her son in a photo with Tatum, Deuce, and other members of his family. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) Now, the NBA player has seemingly confirmed the birth of his son in a new commercial, appearing in a new ad for Amica Insurance. In the commercial, the baller was asked "What keeps you going?" during a press conference. The ad then showed him day dreaming about cleaning up baby toys in what appeared to be his home before answering the door for his mom, Brandy Cole. The NBA star and his mom joked around as he shot a small basketball at a hoop before revealing how he learned to shoot, with Tatum saying,"Grandma really taught me how to shoot, anyway." The pair's chat was interrupted by an infant crying over the baby monitor, which seems to confirm that he is the father of Mai's baby, whom she quietly welcomed last year. Watch Video on YouTube Page Six reported that in August 2024, Mai had welcomed her first baby with Tatum. Though the couple has not said anything publicly about their son, Tatum has hinted at the newborn's name during his NBA games, writing the names "Deuce" and "Dylan" on his sneakers, seemingly to honor both of his boys. Fans didn't find out that Ella Mai was pregnant with her first child until she debuted her baby bump while celebrating Tatum's NBA finals win in June 2024. The couple was first linked in 2019 when the singer was seen sitting courtside at one of his basketball games. Though they have continued to keep quiet about their romance, they made their first public appearance together at Michael Rubin's annual Fourth of July White Party in the Hamptons in July 2022.

'Raising Kanan' Exclusive: Joey Bada$$ Talks Unique's Unraveling Mind, Messy Raq Romance & Revenge R

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 4 Mar 2025 18:05 GMT

Joey Bada$$ is back as Unique in Power Book III: Raising Kanan, and fans can breathe a sigh of relief-he's still in the game. But if you're expecting a romantic reunion between Unique and Raq in season 4, it might be best not to hold your breath. Source: Jamie McCarthy / Getty The Season 3 finale left viewers on the edge of their seats after a brutal betrayal by his own brother, Ronnie, seemingly left Unique for dead. However, as the new season unfolds, it's clear that Unique's story is far from over.

Source: Starz / Starz Speaking exclusively to BOSSIP about Friday's forthcoming premiere, Joey Bada$$ said he felt "excitement" upon hearing he news that his character survived. "I was happy that the whole production and the writers insisted and agreed that we just couldn't get rid of this character," he told Managing Editor Dani Canada. "He's too important to the universe and too essential to the story." But Unique isn't walking away unscathed. According to Bada$$, the attempt on his life has left him deeply affected both physically and mentally. Joey Bada$$ Says Unique Has Traumatic Brain Injuries In Season 4, Confirms It Affects His Relationship With Raq While Unique may have survived, he's far from the same man we once knew. In the season 4 trailer, we see a battered and scarred Unique acknowledging that he'll use the fact that people think he died to his advantage. Watch Video on YouTube Bada$$ explained that Unique is dealing with what he calls an "early '90s CTE" effect, making it difficult for him to process what happened. What he does know, however, is that he's "never been more f****g alive." "I think he has somewhat of a fragmented memory," he said. "I think he has trouble putting the pieces together." This mental haze complicates Unique's thirst for revenge. While he may feel frustration over not being the one to take out Ronnie, his suspicions go beyond his brother. "He definitely doesn't believe that it was just his brother. He thinks Ronnie conspired with Raq and everybody kind of conspired against him to get him out of the way," Bada$$ revealed. "His mind is just all over, and he's a madman." For fans who once hoped for a rekindling of the complicated connection between Unique and Raq, that dream might be shattered. The soft spot he once had for her may be gone. "We'll have to see," said Bada$$ with a laugh. One of Unique's defining traits has always been his intelligence and ability to stay three steps ahead. However, this season, we may see a version of him that is less in control. "I think he can definitely be prone to making mistakes," Bada$$ admitted. "The earlier versions of Unique were really calculated-he was able to manage his emotions and anger, using them to his advantage. But now, this version is a little more unhinged. He's way more prone to flying off the handle." As Unique spirals into what Joey Bada$$ describes as "crash out mode," fans should expect the unexpected. With revenge on his mind and his usual strategic thinking compromised, the stakes are higher than ever, and the rapper confirmed that Unique might get caught up. "Mistakes are definitely bound to happen," said Bada$$. The fourth season of the Power spinoff is shaping up to be one of its most intense yet, and the drama after Unique's return from the grave is only getting started.

'I Can't Breathe' Black Kentucky Family Files Lawsuit Against Ashland Police For Death Of Clarence W

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 4 Mar 2025 17:22 GMT

Source: Michael Burrell / Getty Police brutality does not always mean nightsticks, tasers, punches, kicks, and guns, sometimes police brutality is failing to give a damn about an arrestee's humanity to the point that it results in great bodily harm or death. Clarence Wilkerson was a victim of the latter version of state-sanctioned violence against Black bodies. According to NBC News, in March of 2023, Wilkerson was taken into custody after Ashland, Kentucky police served him an arrest warrant following a brief foot chase. Bethany Bowman, a friend of Wilkerson's, began recording the arrest and captured the man requesting medical assistance due to trouble breathing. Bowman says Wilkerson was in full health at her house playing video games with her husband minutes prior. Warning: the following video may be disturbing. ( function() { var func = function() { var iframe = document.getElementById('wpcom-iframe-e776994552e1d7ed484d9e3c62389e7d') if ( iframe ) { iframe.onload = function() { iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( { 'msg_type': 'poll_size', 'frame_id': 'wpcom-iframe-e776994552e1d7ed484d9e3c62389e7d' }, "https:\/\/embeds.go.ione.nyc" ); } } // Autosize iframe var funcSizeResponse = function( e ) { var origin = document.createElement( 'a' ); origin.href = e.origin; // Verify message origin if ( 'embeds.go.ione.nyc' !== origin.host ) return; // Verify message is in a format we expect if ( 'object' !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type ) return; switch ( e.data.msg_type ) { case 'poll_size:response': var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id ); if ( iframe && '' === iframe.width ) iframe.width = '100%'; if ( iframe && '' === iframe.height ) iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height ); return; default: return; } } if ( 'function' === typeof window.addEventListener ) { window.addEventListener( 'message', funcSizeResponse, false ); } else if ( 'function' === typeof window.attachEvent ) { window.attachEvent( 'onmessage', funcSizeResponse ); } } if (document.readyState === 'complete') { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ } else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( 'DOMContentLoaded', func, false ); } else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( 'onreadystatechange', func ); } } )(); Bowman says she believes that she heard one of the officers say that they wouldn't not be taking Wilkerson to the hospital. "We were asking for medical attention, he was asking for medical attention, he was asking for compassion, and he was denied and mocked for it," Bowman said. "They refused to radio to a medic. ... The last words I heard before they closed the door on Clarence was a muffled and raspy 'I can't breathe.'" Let the Kentucky State Medical Examiner's Office tell it, Wilkerson died as a result of his acute use of methamphetamines. According to the Lexington Herald Ledger, Wilkerson's brother Abdul Wilkerson and a representative of Clarence's surviving child, they think the police were negligent. They have filed a federal lawsuit against all parties involved including the city of Ashland, the police officers, and the department as a whole. The suit claims that the officers involved did not render medical aid in a timely fashion and were generally negligent of Wilkerson's health condition. "During the arrest, he was allegedly restrained and placed in a police cruiser despite showing clear signs of medical distress, such as difficulty breathing and inability to stand," the lawsuit reads. The lawsuit is seeking compensatory and punitive damages. We sincerely hope they get every red penny and more.

Deliciously Petty Toronto Takeover: Serena Williams Joins Ownership Group For WNBA's New Team Toront

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 4 Mar 2025 15:43 GMT

When it comes to being petty, Serena Williams is giving Kendrick Lamar a run for his money. Source: Dia Dipasupil / Getty Just one month after the sports legend Crip Walked all over Drake's grave during Lamar's Super Bowl halftime performance, she's sending another particularly petty message to the Canadian rapper. As the WNBA makes its way into new territory, the twenty-three-time Grand Slam winner is joining the ownership group for their latest expansion team, the Toronto Tempo. "New court, new game," the team began in their announcement on social media. "We're thrilled to announce that @SerenaWilliams - legendary tennis pro - has joined the team as the newest owner of the Toronto Tempo."

When they tip off their first season in 2026, the Tempo will become the 15th team to join the WNBA. Their expansion draft will be held after the 2025 season. While fans are happily cracking jokes at the irony of Williams collaborating with a team in Toronto, the birthplace of her ex, Drake, of all places, this move is obviously bigger than any potential pettiness. Being widely accepted as the greatest female athlete of all time, Serena is doing her part to get involved in an opportunity to grow women's sports even more. "This moment is not just about basketball; it is about showcasing the true value and potential of female athletes - I have always said that women's sports are an incredible investment opportunity," Williams said in a statement, according to ESPN. "I am excited to partner with Larry [Tanenbaum] and all of Canada in creating this new WNBA franchise and legacy." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Serena Williams (@serenawilliams) Toronto added that the star athlete will design jerseys and collaborate with the team on merchandise. "Serena Williams is an icon, a role model and a force for change in the world" Tanenbaum said. "She's earned every bit of her incredible success with hard work, tenacity and determination in the face of countless challenges. She exemplifies the very best of what the Tempo stand for - we couldn't be more honored to have Serena in our court."

According to Alabama court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Jay-Z proposed three causes of action: malicious prosecution, abuse of process, and civil conspiracy against all three defendants. He also proposed a fourth cause of action, defamation against Jane Doe, and is seeking assumed, actual, and punitive damages. In the new filing, the rapper claimed that the initial allegations of rape against him were knowingly "false" and "malicious." He also said that the sexual assault suit was "strategically and tactically calculated and [used] time to inflict maximum pain and suffering" to him. The previous suit claimed that Jay-Z and Sean "Diddy" Combs allegedly raped a 13-year-old girl at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in 2000. Buzbee and fellow attorney Antigone Curis had the suit voluntarily dismissed last month. In his March 3 filing, Hov alleges that the Oct. 20 lawsuit was founded on false information from Jane Doe and her lawyers. He also claims the Jane Doe and her lawyers "launched to extort" the rapper "through a menacing 'private' 'demand letter,' " adding that the "malicious" defendants made "a desperate attempt to leverage Mr. Carter into an extortionate payoff." The filing claimed that Jane Doe "voluntarily admitted" to Jay-Z's representative that "Carter did not assault her" and that Buzbee "pushed her to go forward with the false narrative of the assault by Mr. Carter in order to leverage a maximum payday."

Source: Kara Durrette / Getty According to reports from TMZ, the Jane Doe in question has doubled down on her claims, insisting Jay-Z is trying to pressure her into saying her accusations are false. In court documents obtained by the outlet, the woman claims she was recently approached outside her home by two people who told her they were investigators working for one of Jay-Z's lawyers. Doe claims they tried to get her to sign an affidavit stating that her rape claims were false, but she refused. She adds that her parents were allegedly approached by people asking similar questions. The woman also claims the alleged investigators asked her if Tony Buzbee sought her out as a client and offered her money to pursue false claims against Jay-Z, both of which she says she denied. She claims the alleged confrontation left her intimidated and terrified, especially since her identity remained anonymous in media reports and legal proceedings. As for why she dropped the suit, Doe says in the docs it's because she was frightened by the reaction from Jay-Z and his supporters, claiming she was scared she would be publicly outed and subjected to public attacks. Tony Buzbee has also replied to the suit, issuing a statement to PEOPLE that says: "This new case alleges the same claims as the other one they pieced together and filed in Los Angeles. Like the one in LA, this new case in Alabama also has no legal merit... she stands by her claims." "After speaking with Jane Doe today, it appears that the quotes attributed to her in the lawsuit are completely made up, or they spoke to someone who isn't Jane Doe," his statement continues. "This is just another attempt to intimidate and bully this poor woman that we will deal with in due course. We won't be bullied or intimidated by frivolous cases."

Clapback King! Gabourey Sidibe Says Her Husband Doesn't 'Play' About Checking Her Haters: 'He'll Bee

Brandon Frankel, the husband of actress Gabourey Sidibe, doesn't "play" when it comes to protecting his wife and family. Source: Variety / Getty While chatting with PEOPLE on the red carpet at ESSENCE's Black Women In Hollywood Awards ceremony on Feb. 27, the 41-year-old actress revealed that her hubby will go to great lengths to protect her from haters in real life and from social media trolls online. "...Come down here right now. If you step on my dress, he will be here," Sidibe revealed. "Like, he's in a feud with a lot of things. I have to be careful about telling him that somebody gave me an attitude because he'll write them off forever." The Precious actress continued: "He'll beef with his grandma about me. And I deserve it. And I love him so much and I would beef with a lot of people for him too," she added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by People Magazine (@people) Frankel Clapped Back At A Troll Who Described Gabourey Sidibe As Looking "homeless" In 2024 Frankel showed he wasn't the one to mess with on Instagram in November 2024 when he flamed an internet troll for comparing his wife to a "homeless" person. The sweet husband shared an adorable family photo of Sidibe playing with their two twins, Cooper and Maya, at home, when the internet bully disrespected him. In response to the shady comment, Frankel clapped back, "Disrespectfully, I know you ain't talking," telling the naysayer to "go find a therapist asap, you're unwell." The fearless husband also corrected the internet bully on their grammar. "And it's *you're, genius," he penned.

"Oh s**t! I was not even aware of this exchange. My man knows I like to mind my business about what people say about me. He gathers and keeps it to himself. A considerate King," she commented at the time on X. View this post on Instagram A post shared by BRANDON FRANKEL (@brandontour) Sidibe and Frankel's romance blossomed unexpectedly when they connected on the elite dating app Raya. After getting engaged in November 2020, just four months later, the couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony. By April 2024, they joyfully welcomed their twins, Cooper and Maya, who will celebrate their first birthday next month. Sidibe told PEOPLE that when she first met Frankel, sparks didn't fly instantly. "Our first date, literally for the first six dates, as we were leaving, I'd say, 'Okay, goodbye forever,'" she laughed. "I never intended to see him again. And now he's at the house." Now, the American Horror Story star can't see her life without her husband. "When you talk about radical love, what I realize was - and it's going to sound selfish - but I realized that I liked who I was when I was with him. I liked the ways that I got to grow through loving him and being loved by him." Sidibe added: "I did not know that the person who I am today existed. And she only exists because of how much he loves me. Isn't that crazy? I would have punched myself in the face 10 years ago. My husband's the guy, just that guy."

Posted by famousradio — Mon, 3 Mar 2025 19:24 GMT

We've got an exclusive clip from Tuesday's all-new episode of #LHHATL, and it's especially spicy as it concerns Kirk, Rasheeda, and the mother of Kirk's son, Jasmine. Source: Courtesy / Paramount As previously reported, MTV announced the highly-anticipated return of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta premiering on Tuesday, January 7 at 8 PM ET/PT, bringing viewers more drama, music, and the personal stories that keep fans hooked.

After the fallout from her cast album concert, Spice takes a select crew to London for a global performance to reclaim her narrative. Saucy Santana is exploring new musical territories, ready to shake up the Atlanta music scene while challenging the status quo of the old guard's dominance. Karlie Redd puts everything on the line for her relationship with millionaire TLO, as past exes surface and attempt to shake up their happily ever after. Rasheeda and Kirk work to restore harmony in the Frost family, but power struggles threaten their progress. With new rumors swirling around Scrappy, his tumultuous personal life spills into the public eye, including a new crisis involving Momma Dee. Bambi emerges as a formidable force, as she navigates a delicate truce with her former foes & ex-husband Scrappy, but is tested as new bomb drops and loyalties are broken. Lil Zane and Ashley Conley tackle new family pressures as their marriage hangs on a lifeline. Yandy and Mendeecees begin to question their priorities and friendships as they desperately try to move on from the explosive allegations that shattered their public image last season.

Watch Video on YouTube #LHHATL Exclusive Clip In an exclusive clip from tomorrow's new episode, Kirk and Rasheeda are talking about their ongoing co-parenting challenges with Jasmine Washington, the mother of Kirk's son, Kannon.

Source: Courtesy / Paramount The couple isn't holding back as they share their frustrations over what they see as Jasmine's failure to prioritize the now 8-year-old son's well-being. "I don't know what its state inspection looks like, but I'm about to find out thanks to Ms. Jasmine," says Kirk alluding to ongoing tensions over financial and parental responsibilities. Rasheeda also expresses her concerns, emphasizing that despite the past, Kannon's needs should come first.

Source: Courtesy / Paramount "I'm not with none of the bulls***. I just feel like Kannon needs to be taken care of. Regardless of whatever it is that you do, it seems like it's not enough," says Rasheeda. "So, as you ignored and moved on, she just keep pushing and poking and poking and poking. But you know what? I thought maybe over the years, and with Kannon now being 8, maybe she had matured as a woman and understood that her son should be her priority." A frustrated Rasheeda then questions Jasmine's motives in a confessional, implying that her focus is more on financial gain than on Kannon's well-being. "I can't believe it's been 8 years and Jasmine still doesn't understand how to put Kannon's needs in front of her own. Kannon is such an amazing kid, and he deserves the world. Too bad his mama don't realize that's the important part and it's not all about her," says the rapper who agrees with him that Jasmine is too focused on being taken care of too. As the couple continues to vent, Kirk shares that the situation has now become a legal battle, and he thinks it's all a money grab. "There's only one way to get everything straight. Now get the paperwork straight," he said. "And guess what? When she got her little attitude, talking all that to all her little friends, I just wanted to tell her, 'But remember, you brought me here. I'm in court and I'm going to trial because of you-because it wasn't enough money.'" Take an exclusive look below!

Justice For Ja'Keem Williams! White Neighbor Fatally Shoots Black Father Of 5 For Riding An ATV Thro

Posted by famousradio — Mon, 3 Mar 2025 18:58 GMT

Days after the anniversary of Trayvon Martin's killing, Winter Garden, Florida has lost a member of the community to unjust vigilante violence. Tragically, 32-year-old Ja'Keem Williams was shot and killed while riding his ATV through a residential neighborhood. Now, his loved ones-backed by civil rights attorney Ben Crump-are demanding full accountability. From the looks of it, the community isn't letting this one slide. Source: Abu Hanifah / Getty Suspect Allegedly Confessed After Fatal Shooting Fox 35 Orlando states that Williams was gunned down on February 23rd at the Bay Pointe Apartment complex. Witnesses told police that 57-year-old Ralph Hensel confronted Williams, shouted at him, and then fired two shots-leaving Williams unresponsive in the middle of the complex. After pulling the trigger, Hensel allegedly walked back to the leasing office and said, "I killed him." No remorse. No hesitation. According to WFTV9, he's now locked up in Orange County Jail on first-degree premeditated murder charges with no bond-but Ja'Keem's family and supporters say that's just the bare minimum. Ben Crump Joins the Fight, Calling for "Criminal Culpability" ( function() { var func = function() { var iframe = document.getElementById('wpcom-iframe-82af18acb8151b9074d09b4f8962bfec') if ( iframe ) { iframe.onload = function() { iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( { 'msg_type': 'poll_size', 'frame_id': 'wpcom-iframe-82af18acb8151b9074d09b4f8962bfec' }, "https:\/\/embeds.go.ione.nyc" ); } } // Autosize iframe var funcSizeResponse = function( e ) { var origin = document.createElement( 'a' ); origin.href = e.origin; // Verify message origin if ( 'embeds.go.ione.nyc' !== origin.host ) return; // Verify message is in a format we expect if ( 'object' !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type ) return; switch ( e.data.msg_type ) { case 'poll_size:response': var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id ); if ( iframe && '' === iframe.width ) iframe.width = '100%'; if ( iframe && '' === iframe.height ) iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height ); return; default: return; } } if ( 'function' === typeof window.addEventListener ) { window.addEventListener( 'message', funcSizeResponse, false ); } else if ( 'function' === typeof window.attachEvent ) { window.attachEvent( 'onmessage', funcSizeResponse ); } } if (document.readyState === 'complete') { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ } else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( 'DOMContentLoaded', func, false ); } else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( 'onreadystatechange', func ); } } )(); Ben Crump, the family's attorney, is demanding full accountability and the harshest punishment possible for Hensel. "We want criminal culpability for this. I don't even know if you want to call him a vigilante because Ja'Keem wasn't even doing anything wrong," Crump told WFTV9. Fox 35 Orlando reports that Hensel had previously complained about ATV riders in the neighborhood and had even warned law enforcement that he would "take action" if officers didn't step in. A true threat. "Justice for Ja'Keem" Rally Takes Over Winter Garden Winter Garden residents flooded the streets over the weekend, demanding justice for Ja'Keem. Community member Gary Haskell made his stance clear at the rally. "Justice for this young man and his family. And when I mean justice, I mean real justice. I mean, the death penalty should be on the table because this was cold-blooded murder." WFTV9 reports that a petition has gained over 3,100 signatures in just one week, with the Juneteenth Project Coalition pushing for Hensel's charges to be upgraded to include a hate crime bias. "The wheels of justice must not deny the civil rights of the innocent, but also the bereaved family members left to bear the burdens of hate and injustice," the coalition stated. Alongside protests, a GoFundMe has been created to cover Ja'Keem's funeral expenses, with his services scheduled for March 7. Ja'Keem Williams Remembered as a Loving Father Williams was a father figure to five children, including three he shared with Briana Bermudez and two from Sierra Rose's previous relationship. Bermudez, the mother of his children, told WFTV9: "Is this how we handle someone who is riding an ATV? He wasn't armed." Friends and family share that Williams was kind-hearted, non-confrontational, and deeply devoted to his children. Hensel Pleads Not Guilty, Legal Proceedings Continue Fox 35 Orlando reports that Hensel has pleaded not guilty and invoked his constitutional rights. His initial hearing-originally scheduled for Friday-was canceled and rescheduled. Winter Garden is making sure that Ja'Keem Williams won't be another forgotten tragedy as the Williams family waits for justice to be served. The post Justice For Ja'Keem Williams!

"I've cried and cried, I've compared and compared, blaming myself because I wasn't able to give her all that she needed. But no matter what God always shows me that He got me! Baby girl came at 25 weeks today and she's the best!! Thank You God for getting me this far." She went on to reveal that she was diagnosed with a rare variant of the common pregnancy complication, preeclampsia, called HELLP Syndrome. HELLP stands for Hemolysis (the process of red blood cell destruction), Elevated Liver enzymes and Low Platelets, and it can be fatal if untreated. "[The] doctors told me thank you for coming and if I would've waited a few more days it would've been really bad," she said in an Instagram story. "Ladies please listen to your bodies and don't believe everything you see on TIK TOK( talking to myself lowkey)." Broadus' baby girl makes grandchild number eight for rap pioneer Snoop Dogg. His sons Corde and Cordell have four and three children, respectively. "My grandkids are my everything, because they all individually get a piece of my heart and they're different," he said.
