 photo ky1.jpg

Jagged Edge member Kyle Norman is a married man now. He recently got married to the woman he choked and forced to swallow her own engagement ring during an altercation back in January. Get the deets on their wedding and how Kyle has turned a new leaf inside….

This past January, Jagged Edge member Kyle Norman was arrested on aggravated assault chargesafter he allegedly forced his fiancée Marrika Maria to SWALLOW her engagement ring. Now…they’re married!

 photo ky2.jpg

Kyle, who's currently making a comeback on the music scene with Jagged Edge, claims he’s a changed man and that he no longer drinks, do drugs and has started counseling to help with his issues. In an exclusive interview with Rolling Out, the R&B crooner talked about owning up to his mistakes and feeling regret for what he did to his partner saying,

“Fellas, we as men have a problem with our apologies. If you make a mistake, own up to it and man up! That’s what I had to do to get my queen back. I apologize to my brothers of Jagged Edge, to my family, my wife and my fans and anyone I let down. I let myself down and my family, and for that I apologize. And I got myself some help. I don’t drink or do drugs anymore and I have changed my entire way of living and thinking. It’s never too late to change. I am just happy she has given me this opportunity to spend the rest of my life with her showing her how much I really do love her. I’m giving her all the hot sauce she wants [smiles].”

Putting the past behind them, Kyle and Marrika decided to “meet at the alter” for an impromptu wedding at the Suite Food Lounge ATL surrounded by close family and friends recently.

After undergoing several surgeries due to the injuries she sustained from the attack, Mrs. Norman said Kyle is the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with and believes he will never put his hands on her again. Hmph. She’s also in the process of writing a book for battered women, a term she recently embraced to help other women get out of bad situations. She told the publication,

“Crediting my deep prayers and talks with God, my deep love for Kyle and conviction that Kyle really does love me and has vowed not to place his hands on me ever again. I am not listening to the naysayers who keep trying to say he doesn’t love me and encourage me to leave. I will admit, I am in a lot of pain every day, physically. I am on several different pain medications which keep me up. I am not able to get more than three hours of sleep. I’m attending counseling three times per week and I know in my heart that God will help me get through this. I’m blessed to be alive and still have the love and support of my familyl I am finding it easier each day to shun the haters that leave me text messages and voicemails.”
 

Wow...well congrats to them. Let's keep our fingers crossed he learned his lesson....

Kimora Lee Simmons was spotted out and about for the first time since giving birth, strolling down Beverly Hills with her newborn baby boy Wolfe Lee Leissner, her husband Tim Leissner and their dog. Meanwhile, Evan Ross and his pregnant wife Ashlee Simpson were spotted bumping along on a lunch date. Peep the babies and bumps inside….

Kimora Lee Simmons was spotted out and about for the first time with her almost 2-month old son Wolfe Lee Leissner with husband Tim Leissner yesterday.

The twosome pushed baby Wolfe Lee in his stroller as they cruised down Beverly Hills for a little retail therapy and quality time with their new family unit.

Kimora is the now the proud mom of four beautiful children. Baby Wolfe joins big sisters Ming Lee & Aoki Lee (with Russell Simmons) and big brother Kenzo Lee (with Djimon Hounsou).

The fashion designer recently announced she would be stepping away from her gig at JustFab.com to focus on her high-end KLS line and her charitable works. Her first KLS store is set to open on Beverly Drive in about four weeks, so she was likely checking out things to make sure everything is running according to schedule.

Another couple on the move....

Amber Rose is kicking off her Memorial Day Weekend hosting parties in Las Vegas. And she’s not the only one partying it up in Sin City. Twin sisters Malika& Khadijah Haqq had a night out on the town with their friend Khloe Kardashian. Peep the pics inside…

Memorial Day Weekend is here! And the turn up has commenced in Las Vegas.

Yesterday, Amber Rose hosted a pool party in a white hip hugging bodycon with her lady lumps on display at the Palms Pool and Dayclub inside the Palms Casino Resort.

 photo amv3.jpg

 photo amv1.jpg

It just so happens the pool party she was tapped to host went down at the same hotel her estranged husband Wiz Khalifa is residing and where she is staying as well. And it appears he isn’t excited about it. Reportedly, Wiz asked the hotel to make sure his suite was NOT on the same floor as Amber’s. Hmph.

But, as you can see, Amber doesn’t seem bothered. She’s there to collect her coins.
 

After the pool party....

The Sister Code actress slipped into a sexy LBD to host at Chateau Nightclub and Rooftop at held at Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. Meanwhile, Wiz flexed his spinning skills making his debut as DJ Daddy Kat at Rain Nightclub inside Palms Las Vegas last night.
 

Elsewhere....

 photo hexkitchen2.png

Twins Malika and Khadijah Haqq kicked off their Memorial Day Weekend with their bestie Khole Kardashian at 1 OAK inside the Mirage Hotel and Casino Las Vegas. We hope Khloe and Amber don’t cross paths after their epic Twitter spat. Amber recently said she doesn't have any beef with Khloe, but you know how things can turn ugly once the liquor starts flowing.

 photo cgirl1.png

 photo ewndn3.png

Malika suffered a huge lost last week after her rumored boyfriend Chinx Drugz (who happened to be married) was shot and killed in Queens. She caught a lot of backlash after posting a tribute to Chinx on Instagram recently. Maybe she’s on the party scene to help block out the negativity and to keep her mind off of the tragedy.

 photo kkm1.png

Along with starring on their Kardashian spin-off “Dash Dolls,” the Haqq twins are gearing up to start filming on the set of a new film. The twins told TheYBF.com they will begin production for ATL 2 this August.  Get ready.

Drizzy hit the field for a celebrity softball game with the Houston Astros at the University of Houston Cougar Field to benefit the Astros Urban Youth Academy. This is just one of many events coming to the area because the Young Money rapper has a host of events (concerts, parties) lined up for the city this Memorial Day Weekend.

Houston holds a special place in the Grammy Award winning artist’s heart as H-Town is the place where he started building his rap empire with the help of UGK rapper Bun B.

WHY YOU MAD? Chris Brown & His Goons Head To Vegas After Spotting Karrueche With Tyson Beckford! + Stevie J Accuses Joseline Hernandez Of CHEATING

 photo kaety.png

There’s some drama brewing on social media this Memorial Day Weekend. And we have the deets. Find out why Chris Brown is taking shots at Tyson Beckford over his ex-girlfriend KarruecheTran AND get the dirty deets on Stevie J calling out his wife Joseline Hernandez for cheating on him while he was in rehab! More inside….

While everyone is turned up for Memorial Day Weekend hitting pool parties, concerts, etc., social media is just as turned up with the foolish activities.

The "Innanets" started buzzing when Chris Brown’s ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran was spotted hanging out with sexy model and Chocolate City star Tyson Beckford in Las Vegas yesterday. Nothing screamed “coupledom,” but apparently a jealous ex-boyfriend is in his feelings.

Kae’s bestie/publicist J. Ryan posted up a video of Kae and crew enjoying the Memorial Day festivities in Vegas:

 

A video posted by J.Ryan La Cour (@jryanjl) on

 

Tyson also posted the picture atop of him and Kae at the Palms Casino Resort with the caption, “Saturday with @Karrueche #vegas #palms #blasian”

Breezy must have stumbled across Kae’s whereabouts and got caught up in his feelings. One of Breezy’s friends, Kid Red, popped off at Tyson first saying:

 photo kidred2.png

Errr...ok. So, Breezy follows suit posting up a shot of himself and his "goons":

 photo kaety2.png

He also took to his Twitter to address the situation. Of course, he deleted the posts, but not before they were caught on a screenshot. He tweets:

 photo kaety3.png

So we assume Chris is on the first flight to Vegas from Cannes where he has been living it up the past few days. We're just confused on why is Chris mad? Didn't he cheat on Kae and have a BABY? And we doubt that Tyson is fazed by this trivial ish.  If anything pops off, we'll keep you posted.

 

Elsewhere on social media....

 photo stevjos.jpg

Looks like there is drama in the Jordan household...again. "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Stevie J took to his Twitter to BLAST his wife Joseline Hernandez for allegedly CHEATING on him while he was in rehab recently.

He tweeted (read from the bottom up):
 

 photo stev2.png

 photo stev1.png

Of course the Puerto Rican Princess hurled a few subliminal expletives towards her husband. She tweeted back:

 photo jos2.png

These two...they'll be fighting like cats and dogs one minute, then be all wrapped up in love the next. These shenanigans are likely for ratings….

Juicy J was rushed to the hospital Saturday night, causing him to cancel his show in San Francisco. Meanwhile, “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood” star Hazel-E broke her nose after she was thrown off an ATV in Dubai. Deets inside…

Sometimes the “turn up” can land you in a hospital bed if you’re not careful. And that’s exactly what happened to down south rapper Juicy J.

Juicy was rushed to Saint Francis Memorial hospital in San Francisco Saturday night after complaining of shortness of breath. He took to Twitter to update his fans on his condition tweeting:
 

 

 

The “Bandz A Make Her Dance” rapper was scheduled to perform at The Filmore on his “The Hustle Continues” tour, but had to cancel due to exhaustion. He posted a picture of himself laying in a hospital bed with an apology to his fans saying:

The Dr said I'm Exhausted I haven't been getting enough rest but I'll be ok San Fran my Apologies i will make it up #THCTOUR still going strong
 

Not only was he dealing with exhaustion, the Taylor Gang MC hit the stage in L.A. Friday night with a broken foot after undergoing surgery. He rolled out on stage on a scooter with his injured foot propped up.

 

 photo injur2.png

But, all seems to be well now. Last night, the “Bounce It” rapper was back performing on stage in Boise, Idaho. He captioned, "Boise Idaho went up!! I love my job! #thehustlecontinues #idontgiveup #legend" The hustle continues. Glad he’s doing better.  

Another injury this Memorial Day Weekend.....

 photo injur3.jpg

“LAHH: Hollywood” star Hazel-E suffered a major injury while vacaying in Dubai this weekend. The reality star was enjoying a desert safari riding ATVs with friends when she hit a bump that caused her to be thrown from the vehicle, resulting in a broken nose and bruises. Yikes!

 photo injur4.jpg

Hazel was rushed to the hospital after temporarily losing consciousness. According to doctors, Hazel will have to undergo reconstructive surgery to fix her nose. Her friend-turned-enemy and co-star Masika Kalysha got wind of the news on social media and had a few mean words for her injured co-star. She posted a comment in The Shade Room’s comment section saying,

“b*tches love “I was in an accident surgery” gone get the beak hacked in half snuffaluffagus we been waiting girl. we ain’t mad”
 

Damn. We hope Hazel makes a speedy recovery. Be safe out there guys!

Funnyman Kevin Hart and his fiancée Eniko Parrish have been working hard on their summer bodies all winter. So, they were more than ready to show their fit and toned bods soon as they touched down in Las Vegas this Memorial Day Weekend.

Looking good.

Yesterday, the lovebirds trekked it to Tao Beach at the Venetian to party it up at the pool party where Fabolous was performing:

Fab was solo this weekend as his longtime girlfriend Emily B is pregnant with their second child together, due very soon. At the pool party, the NYC rapper and the Get Hard actor shared some “drunk wisdom” moments with one another. Fab captioned, “This is prolly @kevinhart4real dropping some drunk jewels on me... @ a friend who have some drinks & start hittin you wit drunk wisdom... #Vegas #DrunkWisdom #AintNobodyGotTimeFaThat”

San Francisco 49ers Colin Kaepernick was also in the mix with a few of his homies.

On Saturday, Kevin and Taraji shared a special moment as they congratulated each other on their accomplishments. Kevin said,  "Me & my sister @tarajiphenson .....There is no better feeling in life than seeing the ones u love be great!!!! I'm so fucking happy & proud of this crazy motha fucking girl....I love her for life!!!! #Vegas #MySister #ShesSoMuchMoreThanCookieToMeAndYall #SheIsAboutToDestroyTheIndustry"

Taraji followed up with, "I love you more @kevinhart4real I knew you were special when we did #NotEasilyBroken together. I called it then. YOU ARE SPECIAL!!! So glad our paths crossed in this life time. I am soooooo proud of YOU!!!”

Aww...friends.

Before Taraji hit the club scene, "EMPIRE" creator Lee Daniels was busy giving Taraji directing points. She captioned, "@theoriginalbigdaddy is trying to direct me in Vegas"

At another party in Vegas...

AND THEN THIS HAPPENED.....Tyson Beckford Invites Chris Brown To Party, Then Posts Gun Range Video + Chris Claims Tyson Alerted the Las Vegas Police Dept.

We've got an update on the social media battle that broke out between Chocolate City star Tyson Beckford and R&B crooner Chris Brown this weekend.  Watch the fellas pop off inside...

 photo tyssdsddw.png

This weekend, a social media battle broke out between Chris Brown and Tyson Beckford after a pic of Tyson and Chris's ex-Karrueche Tran was spotted online.  Although Chris cheated on Karrueche (at least twice that we know of) and even had a baby with another chick, he still got caught up in his feelings.  For more on the back and forth, check out the dramatics here.  Here's the latest.....

Chris (who'd been in Cannes, France for a few days) headed to Las Vegas last night (for his residency at Drais). Before he hit the stage, he posted this on Twitter...

 photo cbtwe.png

 

Tyson caught wind of the threat and decided to extend an olive branch. He even invited Chris to party with him.....

 

 photo referreegefgfegfe.png

 

Hmmm.....the party invite could have been Tyson throwing shade.  In addition to the ""invite" he also posted a video of himself at a gun range, reminding folks that he's in the NRA and knows how to bust shots. He captioned,"Just in case you forgot! #pewpew #nra #bang #2a #5.56 #ar15 #edc #.762"

 

After all the subliminal shade, gun range clips, and subtle threats, we're sure you're wondering, what happened in Vegas?

 photo ferfrrfeefrrfe.png

Thankfully, Chris and Tyson avoided each other but Chris did throw a parting shot on Instagram.  He claims Tyson had the Las Vegas PD on alert, calling him a "Suckah".

 

Since it's been well-documented that Chris pals around with gangbangers, we're not mad at Tyson for protecting himself.   We're just happy to report that no one has been hurt or arrested due to these shenanigans.  Play nice boys....

 

EXTRAS: 

 photo cbdrama.png   

Thanks to Twitter, and a few inquisitive fans, we did learn that Tyson IS NOT dating model Shanina Shaik.  Shanina was pulled into the mix earlier, where she cleared up her "dating" status.

After the release of her new JACKIE album, Ciara has landed a new gig in the fashion world. And she’s serving up a few stunning shots for Roberto Cavalli’s FW2015 ad campaign. Check it inside….

 photo cir6.jpg

 

Following the release of her new album JACKIE and her U.S. tour, it has been announced that Ciara will be serving as the face of Roberto Cavalli’s Fall/Winter 2015 ad campaign. And her pictorials are stunning!

New creative director (former Emilio Pucci designer) and CiCi’s friend Peter Dundas took to Instagram to make the official announcement saying, “CONGRATS CIARA!!! To my friend and my love @ciara the new face of @roberto_cavalli FW2015 Ad Campaign #ciaraforcavalli #cavalligirls #cavallicrew #friends #love #alwaysfun Ph @francescocarozzini”

Shot by Italian photographer Francesco Carrozzini, CiCi (who's known to slay a fashion spread or two) served up some gorgeous shots in the high-fashion designer digs following Nicki Minaj’s spring/summer ’15 campaign. CiCi brings sophisticated purity and spontaneity as she models flowy dresses, printed silks, solid colors and funky prints.  We're thinking this modeling lane should be her career focus...her sole career focus.

Peep the flawless campaign shots below:

Chris Brown & Baby Mama Nia Guzman Allegedly Battling Over Child Support, She Wants $15K A Month + Chinx's Widow Allegedly BLASTS Rumored Side Chick & Go Fund Me Page

Chris Brown and his daughter's mother Nia Guzman are fighting over money.  Find out how much Nia wants inside and see Chinx's widow blasts his critics AND check his side chicks.

 

Although we've seen tons of pics of Chris Brown and daughter Royalty, his baby's mama has been off the radar. Now we know why. Nia Guzman and her legal team are busy preparing for battle.

The Houston, Texas based video vixen is not happy with the $2,500 a month she currently receives from Chris.  Now she's really pissed because Chris allegedly also missed payments for March, April and May.

TMZ reports that Nia and her legal team are demanding $15K a month, and because of the huge "increase," Chris stopped payments (in March) and is going to let the legal system handle it.

While Nia's lawyer Carl Moore is expected to file paperwork in the next two weeks, friends of Chris say Nia treats Royalty like a winning lottery ticket. Well.....are we shocked?

In the meantime, Chris was in the headlines this the weekend for throwing jabs at Tyson Beckford over social media.  Thankfully, the ruckus died down before anyone got hurt.

We've got a few updates from Janelli Caceres, the widow of rapper Chinx.  We told you about the tragic death of the rapper a few weeks ago,  after he was gunned down in the early hours of the morning following a club performance.  Since his death, Janelli has been battling rumors and allegations on social media surrounding her husband's death and funeral costs and his extracurricular activities.  

In case you missed it, a "GoFundMe" page was set up to cover Chinx's funeral costs and that set off a firestorm because folks were pissed that a rapper (who bragged about ballin') didn't handle his finances. 

Well....Janelli posted on Facebook that money isn't their issue.  She said the page was set up to collect "donations" for their kids.  She posted:

  photo wwddsdcdc.png

 

But that's not all......

Janelli (who has made her Facebook page private) also had a few words to Chinx's alleged side piece Malika Haqq (and also words for Erica Mena who chimed in about it all).  A few days ago, Janelli allegedly wrote,

“I DO NOT CARE ABOUT MALIKA, ERICA MENA OR ANYYYY OTHER CHICK THAT HAD ANY INVOLVEMENT WITH MY HUSBAND!!!!! What’s known n understood does not need to be explained!!!! I am mourning the lost of my husband, trying to find his killer, preparing my kids for the worst and planning a f***** funeral I’m not worried bout the stupid s***!!”

 

We will keep you posted....

Rihanna’s Full-Length Dior “Secret Garden IV” Episode Released + “SNL” Comedienne Sasheer Zamata Dishes On Awkward Rihanna Encounter

 photo rhdi.jpg

Finally, Rihanna’s full-length “Secret Garden” fourth episode for Dior has been released. Check it out and find out what “Saturday Night Live” newbie Sasheer Zamata had to say about her first encounter with the Pop princess inside…

Following the release of Rihanna’s history making Dior editorial and the one-minute short film, the full-length fourth episode from Dior’s “Secret Garden” series has been released.

Dubbed “Only If For A Night,” Rih brings a dark fantasy world to life as she treks through the Palace of Versailles. The Bajan beauty models designs from the Esprit Dior Tokyo collection as she runs through the Hall of Mirrors and outside in the enchanting moonlit garden.

The background track (produced by Midas) will be featured as the opener on Rih’s upcoming R8 album titled “Only If For A Night.”

Get caught up in the dark fantasy in its entirety below:

In other RiRi news....

 photo sash.jpg

Since joining “SNL,” newcomer Sasheer Zamata got the chance to meet one of the many celebs she portrays on the late night comedy show. And for her first celeb encounter of someone she impersonated....she got the chance to meet Rihanna when she performed for the 40th season finale a few weeks ago.

But….it may not have been everything she had hoped for. During a live chat at Union Hall in Brooklyn, N.Y. for Brunch Night With Jamie LeeLo, the comedienne shared her awkward encounter with the Pop princess. Upon meeting her for the first time, Sasheer said RiRi was nothing short of pleasant and even greeted her with a hug.

Then, once the liquor started flowing, RiRi took on a different persona. Sasheer said,"We had had a good night after the dress rehearsal, and she turned around and saw me and she was like 'Hey!' and she gave me a hug.”

Once Rih began drinking, she said things went a little left, explaining, "Then she got drunker progressively throughout the show, and at the end of good nights for the actual show, I went up to give her a hug because I was like 'We're good, we're besties now,'" Zamata said, laughing. "And I was like 'Hey!' and she was like [mimes bored wave]. So I was like 'Ohhh, wow your true feelings are coming out!'"
 

Yikes! We wonder if Rih was just tired from taping all day and maybe Sasheer misinterpreted her gesture

ALBUM NEWS: A$AP Rocky Drops A.L.L.A. Early, Disses Rita Ora On "Better Things" + Jason Derulo Premieres Music From "EVERYTHING IS 4"

A$AP Rocky'sAt.Long.Last.A$AP has dropped a few days early and people are buzzing about the Rita Ora diss on "Better Things." Find out what A$AP said inside and listen to new music from Jason Derulo's upcoming album.

 photo alla-cover.jpg

ASAP Rocky surprised his fans last night and dropped his anticipated sophomore album, At.Long.Last.ASAP (a full week ahead if the reported June 2nd release date). He tweeted,"OFFICIAL ALBUM RELEASE IN STORES AND ONLINE @ MIDNIGHT TONIGHT , THANX FOR LISTENING , HOPE YALH ENJOYED . BLESS .... A$VP X LIFE X RIP YAMS"

While the disc features guest appearances from Kanye West, Schoolboy Q, Lil Wayne, Juicy J, Future, Miguel and Mos Def, it's "Better Things" that's really buzzing. For some odd reason, A$AP throws Rita Ora under the bus...and we didn't even know they knew each other.

According to A$AP, he experienced Rita's "head" game then kicked her out of his crib...allegedly. On the track's second verse, he says,

"I swear that bitch Rita Ora got a big mouth/Next time I see her might curse the bitch out/Kicked the bitch out once cause she bitched out/Spit my kids out, jizzed up all in her mouth and made the bitch bounce."

SMH......we've already seen the rapper slap a female fan and diss dark skinned Black women....so his track-record of "respect" isn't stellar.  Maybe he didn't mean to diss Rita but he got caught up in one of his LSD-induced hazes. He's been very open about using the drug to escape realit, so....

JUST MARRIED: "LAHH" Stars Yandy & Mendeecees Harris Tie The Knot On LIVE TV! [Recap Inside!]

Meet The Harrises...officially.  "Love & Hip Hop" stars Yandy Smith Harris and Mendeecees Harris walked down the aisle yesterday for a live Memorial Day wedding.  We've got the recap inside...

In a sparkling "blinged out" Pnina Tornai wedding gown,Yandy Smith became Mrs. Mendeecees Harris after a ceremony of holy matrimony yesterday evening.  Every "Love & Hip Hop" franchise star and a few other reality folks were there for the production.

 photo Screen Shot 2015-05-26 at 9.53.04 AM_zpskewtbrvo.png

We're not sure where the couple's real friends and extended family were, but Bravo and VH1 stars took over the wedding party at Weylin B. Seymour's in Brooklyn.

 photo Screen Shot 2015-05-26 at 9.35.36 AM_zpsf3yqaulp.png

In a live 2 hour show on VH1, their first show ever of its kind, the network mixed pre-wedding preparation footage with live arrivals and nuptials.  We saw Yandy and Mendeecees' mom going at it while shopping for the groomsmen's wedding looks.  But they looked to have kissed and made up by the time the couple said "I Do."

 

 photo Screen Shot 2015-05-26 at 9.51.44 AM_zpsbkdjtdty.png photo Screen Shot 2015-05-26 at 9.49.15 AM_zpszhr9d3ij.png

Yandy and Mendeecees were also captured talking about Mendeecees's upcoming jail stint.  Apparently, Yandy wasn't aware that jail time was definitely happening after Mendeecees pleaded guilty to drug related charges last month. But once he explained why he pleaded guilty (because of the immense jail time he would face if he pleaded Not Guilty and lost), Yandy questioned whether they should still go through with the wedding. 

Yandy asked whether that $90,000 they spent on flowers and other money spent on the over-the-top nuptials (that was likely mostly paid for by VH1 anyway), could have been better spent investing in their family.

Mendeecees said they should carry on and create their memories that will last forever, and will help him get through his upcoming jail stint if he actually does end up going.

And so:

 photo Screen Shot 2015-05-26 at 9.47.20 AM_zpsvwik3drk.png

After plenty of tears and kisses (and heavy breathing that the mics caught), Yandy and Mendeecees became one.  The twosome posed it up with the bridal party and family afterwards:

The three flower girls and their kiddies were ridiculously cute.

 photo Screen Shot 2015-05-26 at 9.48.00 AM_zpsuf5edkk8.png

Yandy's father walked her down the aisle and didn't let his leg amputation stop him like they feared it would.

And if you're wondering who the son in the middle is....so was everyone else.  His name is Aasim and he was born around the same time as Yandy and Mendeecee's son Omere (far right).  Aasim's mother's name is Erika and she is far from shy about calling Yandy out on social media for being a homewrecker of sorts. 

It doesn't seem Mendeecees is keeping his other son a secret, though, as little Aasim was front and center at the wedding alongside big brother Mendeecees, Jr. (whose mother's name is Sam), Omere and baby sister Skylar.

Yandy snapped pics with her castmates:

The ATL crew of Stevie J (who also served as one of the on-camera hosts of the wedding special), Joseline (yes, apparently they're no longer fighting), Mama Dee, Young Joc and host Big Tigga were all there. 

Joseline rocked a custom silk floral dress by designer Tristan Blake.

Meek Mill Says "I'm Not Engaged" To Nicki Minaj, Tells FADER About His Jail Stint & His Father's Murder

In the Summer Music Issue" of FADER, Meek Mill dishes on his relationship with Nicki Minaj, shoots down engagement rumors, and talks about his his father's murder as well as his own brush with the law.  More inside...

 

 photo meekfader.jpg

2015 is shaping up to be a big year for Meek Mill.  Since his release from jail (he violated his probation a while back) the Philly-native has been locked inside a studio in LA putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album Dreams Worth More Than Money, landed the cover of Fader's Summer Issue and he's hitting the road with girlfriend Nicki Minaj in July for her "Pinkprint Tour."

While Meek was never a wallflower (he pals around with Rick Ross and the MMG), he's getting a lot of "crossover" attention now that he's hooked up with rap's #1 chick.  Obviously, the question on everyone's lips is about the two's relationship status.  Are they engaged?  In the accompanying article (which you can read in full here) he answers that question and much more.  Here are the highlights:

 photo nweewweweF97_FEATURE_SHEA_18_gpd4dv.png

On Nicki Minaj and that huge diamond ring he got her:  "I'm not engaged.  But it ain’t really time to get married yet. We’re still learning each other, feeling each other out.”

They are, though, serious enough to snap pics together for a FADER spread (above) and Meek also revealed there will be more collabos from them in the future.

 photo newF97_FEATURE_SHEA_24_q9ygwq.png


On battle rapping in Philly as a kid:
“I was just learning my flow. Everything was about competition...and it helped shape some us growing up. It makes you ambitious as a kid. But people was feeling me at the time. That was some raw shit, spending our last money putting a mixtape out.”

On hooking up with Rick Ross:“Ross changed my life. He changed my whole family’s lives. Ross met my grandma a lot of times. She thinks Rick Ross is her boyfriend. She’s like, ‘Where my baby at?’”

On his father's murder affecting his choice to carry a weapon: “My dad got killed in South Philly. Ain’t nobody save him. The cops didn’t save him, and I don’t even think about the cops saving me, so I just took action to protect myself.”

On the judicial system:“When you’re telling me I’m not shit...you got to look at it from my point of view. I always wanted to say this to the judge: ‘Think about your son. If your son grew up in the neighborhood, and his father was dead, but he’s able to rise up above it all and start taking care of you, your mother, and your whole family? He’s taking responsibility.’ So when you got a white lady in a courtroom, who don’t know you from a can of paint, saying I’m not shit and I need to be put in jail? That’s offensive to me. I look at that as racism. I take that personally.”

Meek's Issue of Fader hits stands June 30th.

COUPLEDOM: John Legend & Chrissy Teigen Dish On Their Unconventional Relationship For DuJour Magazine

 photo djc7.jpg

John Legend and his wife Chrissy Teigen get candid about their unconventional relationship in DuJour magazine’s newest issue. Get the deets and see their cutesy photoshoot spread inside….

Oscar winner John Legend and his model wife Chrissy Teigen get all lovey dovey for DuJour magazine’s latest issue. In the mag, the couple dishes on their ordinary, but no so ordinary love. John and Chrissy seem like your typical couple, but they definitely carve their own lane when it comes to being a couple in the limelight.

Most Hollywood couples try to keep their personal life very private. But, that doesn’t seem to be the case with John and Chrissy. The two share a lot of their relationship with their fans via social media, so it’s sort of like getting an inside look at their home life straight from the source. In the issue, John talks about why they decided to share their love with the world and not keep it under wraps. He said,

“I never understood the purpose of being secretive and coy and trying to disguise the fact that you’re together. It’s odd to shut off a major section of your life and say, ‘Well, that’s off-limits.’”

He adds, “We don’t discuss everything in public, but I feel like it’s OK to show people that we love each other.”

For their spread, the Stephens pose it up for a few sexy shots and Chrissy even strips down to her birthday suit as she rolls arounds in  the ocean at the beach. Check their coupledom spread below:

Well alright. Peep the rest of their shots and their full interview here.

So what do you all think about John and Chrissy's unconventional love? Chrissy loves being inappropriate on social media (posting shots of John getting out of the shower for example)...do you think this is becoming the new norm?
