Although Kenya Moore spent fight weekend partying in Las Vegas, she's got a few things on her plate back home, including a potential lawsuit from her disgruntled "Life Twirls On" co-star Janet Hubert.  This according to Janet herself.  More inside... 

Kenya Moore was among the celebs who descended on Las Vegas to watch boxer Floyd Mayweather defeat Manny Pacquiao during Saturday night's Fight of the Century (see our coverage here).  While we can't confirm if Kenya had "actual" fight tickets (she didn't post any ringside photos), we do know that she rocked an Azzedine Alaia dress and shoes from Yves Saint Laurent (above) for a pre-fight party at Vanity.   She also went to Nicki Minaj's post-fight party at Chateau inside the Paris Las Vegas hotel (below).

While in Vegas, Kenya posted a photo of a "ring" on Facebook and Instagram that sent her fans into a tizzy.

Did Kenya run off to Vegas to get engaged? We doubt it. The ring (above) does not look like an "engagement" ring and we noticed that Kenya promptly deleted the pic from Instagram (but not off Facebook) after her fans began asking questions.

Was the ring photo simply a cry for attention? Some of her commenters are calling it it that (not us) but Kenya does enjoy inciting conversation. We've seen that first hand on "RHOA."

Now....here's a conversation we'd like to engage in: Janet Hubert is publicly claiming Kenya hasn't paid her for her work on "Life Twirls On."

In case you missed it, Janet (most famously known as the first "Aunt Viv" from the classic "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" series) is accusing Kenya and her production company of failing to pay her for shooting Kenya's "Life Twirls On" project. Now, Janet has revealed (via Facebook) that she is pursuing criminal charges against Kenya. She posted,

Criminal fraud charges for falsifying official time sheets? Identity theft?  Theses are Janet's public allegations....not ours.

While both issues would provide Kenya with another "RHOA" storyline, we all know how Ms. Hubert feels about reality tv.  She's not here for it! 

It seems that Janet was further peeved once Kenya posted the "Life Twirls On" trailer on Youtube.

TheYBF.com reached out to Kenya and her team (fyi - Kenya self-financed "Life Twirls On") about Ms. Hubert's claims when they were first revealed a few weeks ago, but #TeamTwirl did not want to offer a statement about this particular subject. 

If Ms. Hubert does purse a criminal lawsuit against Ms. Moore, we'd love for #TeamTwirl to finally share their side of the story because we have questions. 

In the meantime, life twirls on....

Lauryn Hill didn't make it to a performance in Nigeria over the weekend, so she apologized with an acoustic version of one of her biggest hits.  Watch the performance inside and see pics from Wale's"Matrimony" video shoot with Usher and Bria Murphy.  

 photo 11148587_1054090194618662_733265060943905263_n.jpg

Lauryn Hill's concert in Lagos, Nigeria was cancelled this weekend after the promoter failed to come through with her travel arrangements (see her statement below).

A little backstory - TheYBF.com has been following the "live performance" high jinks of Ms. Lauryn Hill for a few years.  And by that, we mean she is very capable of missing performances and/or showing up three hours late - so a "cancelled" concert from MLH always deserves an explanation.  And this time, we can confirm it wasn't her fault.

In regards to the cancelled Lagos concert, Lauryn explained in a message posted on Facebook:

"Hello Lagos, Nigeria! We are disappointed to report that we will not be performing at tonight’s concert. From our end, we did everything we were supposed to do, including waiting at the airport for many hours, ready to fly out and share the evening with you. Unfortunately, after much effort, the promoter was not able to get all of our travel arrangements taken care of. This prevented us from being able to fly into Nigeria in time to make the concert. We were all very excited to come, and very disappointed that we couldn’t make this one. HOWEVER, we are working to reschedule our appearance ASAP. From what we’ve been told, the promoter intends to honor all tickets sold. Our best to and for Lagos. Love and Blessings!

Ms. Lauryn Hill and the MLH band and Production Team”

In order to make up for the missed show, Lauryn delivered an exclusive performance (from her living room) of her hit "Doo Wop (That Thing)" from 1998s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

The performance features Ms. Lauryn alongside her background singers and her 7-year-old daughter Sarah Marley

Wale shot the video for his single "Matrimony" recently and we've come across a few pics from the set. The video stars Hollywood royalty Bria Murphy (the daughter of Eddie & Nicole) who reprises her role as Wale's love interest (fyi - Bria also starred in Wale's "Bad" video).

 photo briamsddssd.png

"Matrimony" is the second single from The Album About Nothing and we will see Bria donning a vintage wedding dress with a crystal headband.  In addition to the video, Bria also wrapped production on her indie comedy "Drive, She Said" with Jason Biggs and Ashley Tisdale earlier this year.

Pop star Usher, who is a featured guest on the track, will star alongside Wale and Bria in the clip.  In the pic above, he posed with celebrity hairstylist Aden Marq (who styled Bria for the shoot).

 photo spl1015555_002.jpg

Last night in NYC, Rihanna was spotted on her way to dinner in Soho in hr Timbs.  While Rihanna is usually "fashion forward" when it comes to her looks, last night paid homage to her "Only Girl (In The World)" days. RiRi went back to auburn hair, donning a curly red wig which contrasted dramatically with her pitch-black shades and dark lipstick. The provocative lip-wear is from her BFF Leandra's makeup line Free Spirit Cosmetics.

After dinner, she headed to Richie Akiva's Up & Down where the in-crowd gathered to celebrate Floyd Mayweather's victory (see our party roundup here).

The "B**** Better Have My Money" singer, who recently launched a sporty-collection with PUMA, is still working on her 8th studio album.

While we wait for the next album, Navy fans can watch her on the season finale of "SNL" on May 16! Perhaps she'll debut a new song?

 

Also in New York City...

 photo Image-28.jpg

We spotted KeKe Palmer with her momager Sharon Palmer.

 photo Image-22.jpg

In case you missed it, KeKe did a funny (and revealing) interview with The Breakfast Club a few days ago where she called mama Sharon out for watching porn.  In her hilarious defense, Sharon verified that she enjoys porn and watches it while on the road - and away from her husband.  Oh...

 photo Image-11.jpg 

 photo Image-31.jpg

KeKe's day-to-day currently involves promo for her latest film, Brotherly Love, her new show "Scream Queens," and the upcming full season of her talk show.  For her most recent appearance, she rocked a colorful Peter Pilotto ensemble and Jimmy Choo shoes.  Cute!

While we're keeping up with KeKe, her next big television project is Ryan Murphy's FOX series, "Scream Queens" (set to premiere in fall 2015).

Work!

You didn't have to travel to Las Vegas to experience the #MayPac fight as YBF couples Kanye & Kim West and Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker proved.  Find out how (and with whom) they watched the Fight Of The Century inside...

 photo spl1015501_001.jpg

Before the start of last night's"Fight Of The Century", the world's most talked about couple dined at Cipriani Downtown in SoHo, NYC.  Kim and Kanye had just flown back from LA where she appeared on The Jimmy Kimmel Show to promote her newest journalistic piece of work...a book of selfies called Selfish

 photo spl1015551_006.jpg

After dinner,  they joined two other power couples Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union and Lala & Carmelo Anthony to watch the #MayPac fight and also support Chris Paul as the LA Clippers defeated the San Antonio Spurs (111-109).  Dwyane captioned the pic atop "Chilling watching our brother @cp3 do what he does."

 photo wdvdvfvfe.png

In between the basketball game and the fight, besties and Think Like A Man 2 co-stars Lala & Gabby managed to sneak away and snap this cute pic!

 

In ATL...

 photo dedrverv.png

Grammy-winning singer Kandi Burruss and her friends gathered at her estate for a #MayPac pool party.  The gathering was suggested by her bestie and "LAHH ATL" star Rasheeda.  On Instagram, Kandi posted, "My boo @rasheedadabosschick told me "Yall need to have a fight party"... So here we are!"

 photo kandidss.png 

Kandi and Todd kicked with Rasheeda and her hubby Kirk Frost and Funky Dineva.

 photo fevefvf.png

As Kandi explains in the video below, she technically had two parties. The house was split between the Blacks who liked swimming, and the Blacks who refused to get in the pool. 

Attendees who didn't head downstairs to the pool who greeted by Kandi''s BFF Carmon, who acted as a spokeswoman for Avion vodka.  Kandi's business manager Don Juan captioned "At the fight night and they got @camcambi the Avion Girl on deck serving the party...we had to switch up our drink up from the DonJulio.. @todd167 is handing it out like water!#avion"

 photo eerrferfre.png

Inside, Don Juan posted a pic of himself with radio personality Egypt Sherrod.  Hmm....it doesn't look like she went to the pool.

 photo fvvervevrev.png

Don Juan also posed with Lala's cousin Dice.  We don't think Dice went for a swim either. 

 photo rerefre.png 

It doesn't look like Rasheeda took a dip in the pool either!  But, she did join Don Juan and DJ AONE for a little hookah.

 

Over in Vegas, Diddy and French Montana partied with the Ciroc Boys and Sean John models Cassie and Lauren London.

Blake Griffin Shows Off His Son Ford Wilson Cameron-Griffin For The First Time + Naomi Campbell Lands Yahoo Web Series "I Am Naomi"

LA Clippers star Blake Griffin brought his son to the podium for the first time over the weekend.  See their adorable exchange inside and get the deets on Naomi Campbell's new web series...

 photo tumblr_nnrituphG61rgza3xo1_500.jpg

Get ready for the cuteness!  After the LA Clippers crushed the San Antonio Spurs playoff dreams with a 111-109 win in Game 7, Blake Griffin brought his adorable son Ford with him to the interview podium for the first time. During the post-game interview, there were several moments for father/son bonding spotted between the two. At one point, Blake looked down at Ford and stuck his tongue out, then they both started laughing. Ahhhh!

While discussing fatherhood and how Ford keeps him humble, Blake told the LA Times, "It's awesome, man. Really since I've been here, since the last three, four years after every game, you guys see all the kids in the locker room. He has no clue what's going on. He has no clue what just happened or who he's sitting next to. I don't really know how to describe it. It puts everything in perspective."

 

 photo bkimage.jpg

While this is our first time meeting Ford, we've been aware of his existence for while now. You'll recall that we introduced you to Ford's mom, Brynn Cameron, two years ago. In addition to her son with Blake, Brynn shares a son, Cole Cameron Leinart, with former NFL QB Matt Leinart. And he pays her a whopping $15K/month in child support! We have no idea how much she gets from Blake, but we're sure everyone's situation is comfortable.

 

Watch Blake and Ford here:

Naomi Campbell has landed a new series on Yahoo titled"I Am Naomi."  A few days ago, the supermodel (shown above with Yahoo! Style editor in chief, Joe Zee) appeared at the 2015 Yahoo upfronts where she discussed the premise of the show.

"I Am Naomi" is billed as a cross between a talk show and a fly on the wall reality TV series, giving viewers a ‘backstage pass’ into her fabulous life.  Whether it's her television work ("Empire") or her high-profile modeling campaigns (2015 Burberry) Naomi will let fans see why she's an icon.  So far, Oprah Winfrey and Justin Bieber are among the celebs who'll appear.

Joe Zee, told Fashionista: ‘I think there’s something so unpredictable and spontaneous about her. ‘But my favorite part about Naomi is that a lot of people don’t know how hysterical she is, full of bites. You’ve seen her on TV before and she’s always so funny and really engaging.’

The air date for the series has not been confirmed....but we're very excited about it.

Solange was a breath of fresh air while making her rounds in NYC over the weekend. Peep her spring looks and check out pics of NeNe Leakes, Tiny, Wendy Williams and Trina Braxton on stage at the Atlanta Ultimate Women’s Expo inside….

Well hello gorgeous!

Solange Knowles Ferguson was busy brightening up NYC rocking a bright yellow mini frock paired with nude accessories as she made her rounds yesterday afternoon.

The fashionista made a bold statement turning heads in a playful dress with her hair blowing in the wind. Just how we like it…. Fun. Flirty. Fabulous.

On Saturday....

Solo went for another bold and beautiful look to attend Pioneer Works 2nd Annual Village Fete (presented by Bombay Sapphire Gin) held at Pioneer Works Center for Art + Innovation in Brooklyn.

Solo posed it up alongside environmentalist Ben Bronfman (who is also M.I.A.’s ex-fiancé) during the event.

She also caught up with the man of the hour Dustin Yellin, a contemporary artist living in Brooklyn. Dustin put the event together to help raise funds for his arts and innovation center. Guests were allowed to bid on artwork by the Brooklyn artist and his friends during an auction. We're sure Solo placed her bid on a new piece, or two. 

Down in Atlanta....

 photo vegababy79.png

The 2015 Atlanta Ultimate Women’s Expo went down at the Georgia World Congress Center yesterday.

The red carpet was rolled out for the women of Atlanta to enjoy an evening of pampering complete with spa treatments, massages and a little retail therapy. Attendees were also treated to speeches by “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes, daytime tv host Wendy Williams, reality star and singer Tiny and “Braxton Family Values” star Trina Braxton on women empowerment.

 photo vegasbaby90.png

If you haven’t heard, there were rumors circulating of a verbal altercation between two very out-spoken and opinionated keynote speakers at the event, NeNe and Wendy. The Internet was buzzing about the alleged feud and once NeNe made it to “WWHL” later in the day, she was offered the opportunity to clear up the speculation. She claims it was Wendy’s husband Kevin Hunter causing a ruckus backstage while she was speaking on stage. The reality star claims she never saw Wendy or her husband so she's not quite sure what was going on. Wendy has remained mum….for now.

 photo vegasbaby79.png

Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter Tameka “Tiny” Harris took the stage to offer up words of encouragement and to share her story.

And Trina Braxton, whose divorce from her estranged husband Gabe Solis was just finalized, hit the stage for her speech. Fab times.

NSFW: Diddy & Cassie Get Hot & Steamy In Racy “3AM” Ad + The Game’s “Ryda” Ft. Dej Loaf (VIDEO)

$

Diddy and his girlfriend Cassie are raising eyebrows and body tempertaures in a brand new (and very provocative) ad for his upcoming new fragrance. The ad spot is… MANY things, one of them"s not safe for work. Check out their steamy promo and The Game’s new video “Ryda” featuring Dej Loaf inside….

It’s not quite summer yet, but Diddy and Cassie are heating things up with new ad.

Diddy and Cassie push the envelope in a brand new ad/commercial for his new fragrance, 3AM. The twosome gives us a sneak peek at the types of things that go on early in the morning in their bedroom. And with his new fragrance, he hopes to recreate the same steamy experience for consumers.

The Hip Hop mogul is making a comeback in the fragrance industry with his first scent in six years, which he says is made for men and women as well, since they seem to love it. He chopped it up with Style.com about his new venture and gave us some insight on how the ad came about and what it represents.
 

Below are the highlights:

How did you develop the concept for the video?
The concept for the video represents one of the things that 3 a.m. is for me. It’s a very one-on-one time. It’s a time to have fun and push the envelope a little bit. It’s definitely an hour where you would find yourself with a young lady. Anything can happen at 3 a.m., and in the video, you see a fantasy that’s in my head of what happened that night.

How involved were you in coming up with the different scenes?
I worked hand in hand with Nabil [Elderkin], who is an excellent director. I gave him the broad strokes, and we just turned the cameras on and let it all happen. A lot of the stuff you see, like the running up the stairs, we didn’t do it 20 times. We shot the whole video in seven hours.

The last scene with you and Cassie is really steamy—what kind of reaction do you think you’re going to get from it?
I think if people hear about the video, they’re going to hear that it’s racy and provocative, but I also think they’re going to hear people say that it’s beautiful. That whole interaction has nothing to do with sex as much as it has to do with love. My concept is that love is the new sexy.

Are you picturing this as a going-out scent?
It doesn’t have to be literal. 3AM is a moment, a time or a feeling. The customer is sophisticated enough to know they can wear it 24 hours.

Did you intend for the scent to be unisex?
It evolved into being unisex. I think when you plan to make a unisex fragrance, it doesn’t work. But when you just make a good fragrance that doesn’t smell like you’re trying to be masculine, you always have a great opportunity [to attract] women. In this case, it was made for a man, but a lot of women liked it, so it’s unisex.

What are you usually doing at 3 o’clock in the morning?
Everybody has a 3 a.m. experience, and usually it’s not the regular story that you’re talking about. Why are you even up and out at 3 a.m.? Yeah, there is a story there.

Peep the sizzling clip below:

 

Diddy will unveil his new fragrance on May 6th at Macy’s in Herald Square. Oh and get this…

According to PageSix sources, the execs over at Macy's feel the ad is way too much! It's said the Hip Hop entrepreneur was asked to re-edit it several times to tone down the explicit scenes. In fact, his event on Wednesday was nearly delayed because of the explicitness. Luckily, Diddy was able to get an edited version together and that's what will play during his fragrance debut, according to a Macy’s rep.
  

On the music video front…

The Game is looking for a “Ryda.” And he found one for his new video, Detriot rapper Dej Loaf. Directed by Benny Boom, Game and Dej are on a mission to get some serious cash and will do whatever they have to in order to get it. “Ryda” appears on Game’s upcoming sixth studio album, The Documentary 2. And it’s slated to drop June 30th.

Game also has a new reality series on the horizon. He's gearing up for the premiere of his VH1 reality series "She's Got Game" where he will let cameras follow him on a national tour as he looks for love. It's expected to debut this summer. In the meantime, check out his latest visuals above.

NOT AGAIN! Chris Brown Accused Of PUNCHING A Man During Basketball Game + Jill Scott Announces Tour, Drops New “Fools Gold” Song

 photo cbtr.png

Chris Brown has found himself in trouble yet AGAIN! This time, a man is accusing him of punching him during a basketball game in Vegas. Get the deets and take a listen to Jill Scott’s newest single “Fools Gold” inside….

Things aren’t looking good for Chris Brown a day before his 26th birthday. It’s being reported the R&B crooner got into a physical altercation with a man during a basketball game early this morning in Las Vegas. And now, police suspect him of battery!

Here’s what we know….

Following the mega-fight festivities, Breezy hit the court to play basketball around 3AM at the Palms Casino Resort inside the Hardwood Suite where he was staying, according to TMZ. The “Ayo” singer was shooting hoops when he and an unidentified man got into a heated argument. The feud escalated to Breezy allegedly punching the man, resulting in the cops being called.

Police told CNN, "A verbal altercation on the court led to a physical fight and the victim was punched by another male subject who was later identified as 25-year-old recording artist Chris Brown."

Chris's Brown's camp responded with their own statement (via his publicist Nicole Perna) where he denied being involved in the confrontation.

"Chris is currently in Las Vegas as he is performing at Drai's on May 5th and receiving a Key to the Strip that day as well. He has a suite at the hotel that has a basketball court and invited friends to come play. An unruly individual showed up uninvited and was removed from the premises. Chris was not in an altercation with this person."

As it stands now, we do know that the alleged victim was treated for injuries at Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center and released. We also know that Las Vegas Metropolitan Police detectives went to the hotel to talk to Chris but he was not available.

Chris has been given the option of signing a citation for misdemeanor battery, according to LVMPD, or having the case submitted to the Clark County District Attorney's Office for prosecution.

At press time, neither Chris nor his attorney has said if he'll sign the citation or pursue another avenue. We'll keep you posted.
