Meek Mill has finally dropped his Drake diss track in response to "Charged Up" and "Back To Back." And since it took several days, you would think the internets would be all the way here for it. Nope. Check out what's unfolding around the net inside...

Y'all, Meek Mill just tried to diss Drake....and the internet laughed...collectively.

One day after the 6 God dropped "Back To Back" to read Meek for filth, and several days after the initial beef kicked off, Meek let Funkmaster Flex premiere HIS diss track.  It's called "Wanna  Know."

Meek threw a couple shots over WWE wrestler The Undertaker's intro music.  Dude accused Drake of getting literally pee'd on by someone. He even weaved in the alleged Quentin Miller reference track for "Know Yourself."  But folks didn't seem to be feeling it. 

Check out the track below, produced by Jahlil Beats & Swizz Beatz, and check out what commenters had to say:

As for what Drake thought, he posted the below: 

Plus, Meek's comments section is on fire.  He posted the below photoshopped OVO logo (turning it into a ghost), and here's a few comments:

Even Nicki Minaj's ex Safaree got in on the ish talking. Around the same time Meek's diss track came out, he posted (then deleted):

 

#Safaree just chimed in with a #NickiMinaj line after #MeekMill dropped his #Drake diss track....

Oh. Well, he did say he "wrote for Nicki" on a track or two.

Hey, the rap game's beef IS hip hop.  But is Meek in over his head?

K. Michelle has backed out of her joint tour with Twitter-firestarter Azealia Banks.  Get the deets on the cancellation and how it all went down inside...

Unfortunately, singer K. Michelle's joint tour with rapper Azealia Banks has been scrapped. The Anybody Wanna Buy A Heart songstress made the announcement on Thursday via her Instagram account.

The announcement came via a long post addressed directly to the "Rebels" as the former "LAHH ATL" star cited exhaustion and a hectic schedule for the cancellation.

Hey Rebels!

To say I am crushed is an understatement. I try my best to push myself over the limit and if you don't listen to your body it will make you listen. While currently filming numerous television shows, readying my businesses and working on my new album, I simply cannot overexert myself anymore than I already am.

So it is with a broken heart, I have to postpone the tour with me and @AzealiaBanks at this time. Before the negativity and assumptions from naysayers and media outlets begins, I'd like for everyone to know the truth.

First, there is absolutely no drama between me and Azealia. We have a mutual respect for each other as women and artists. I can't wait to get in the studio with her and for you all to hear what she's been working on. Secondly, it wasn't low ticket sales. Due to such an overwhelming response with this tour there have been conversations about adding a second show in various cities.

Above all, my fans mean the world to me and the last thing that I want to do is disappoint. I want to thank all of you for having my back and supporting me throughout the good and the bad. I can't wait for all of you to see what's in store and hear this new music! All tickets that have already been purchased will be refunded and I'll see you guys at the top next year! New album. New tour. -K. Michelle

Before fans start digging for drama, it's interesting to note that K. Michelle said the tour was not cancelled due to differences with Azealia and that they still plans to work together in the future.

While we'll take what K. says at face value, we find it interesting that she and her team didn't bother to give Azealia a courtesy call. Ms. Bank found out about the cancellation via email!  Over on Twitter, Azealia assured her own fans that she still plans to hit the road and she's looking forward to finally touring North America. 

(Read from the bottom up)

The 20-date North American outing WAS set to kick off Sept. 15th in Indianapolis and wrap Oct. 15th in Los Angeles. Oh wells....

Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong’o will make her New York stage debut this fall in an Off-Broadway play written by YBF chick and "Walking Dead" star Danai Gurira! Get deets on the play inside... 

Coming this fall, lucky theater attendees will watch Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o make her New York stage debut in the fall production of“Eclipsed" at Off Broadway’s Public Theater.

“Eclipsed,” was written in 2009 by actress Danai Gurira (above, left) who currently stars on "The Walking Dead" as the sword-wielding Michonne.

The play tells a story of survival and resilience in Africa set against the backdrop of the Liberian Civil War. Under the direction of Obie Award winning director Lisel Tommy and producer Marvet Britto, the audience will witness what happens when a group of women, who are the captive wives of a rebel officer, find their lives disrupted by the appearance of a new and mysterious woman, played by Lupita.

In a statement about the upcoming play, Oskar Eustis, artistic director of The Public, said,

“Danai Gurira has written a brilliant play, ripped from the headlines, that looks at the terrible conflicts in post-colonial Africa with an eye that is both incisive and deeply compassionate. A feminist reading of the Liberian Civil War, a war that was ended by women, ‘Eclipsed’ is both heart-breaking and profoundly life-affirming. We are delighted to welcome the extraordinary Lupita Nyong’o to The Public in this vitally important play.”

This is definitely a busy year for Lupita. In addition to the play, she also will appear as Maz Kanata in Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens(December 2015) as well as next year’s live-action flick The Jungle Book. 

EXTRAS:

1. Russell Simmons and his All Def Digital media company have inked an overall first-look production and development deal with HBO. Story.

Grammy Award winning singer Jennifer Hudson, who will be making her debut on Broadway this fall, was on double duty last night as she was tapped to perform at two separate events in her hometown of Chicago.

First, the “Walk It Out” songstress, who is the new face of NY&C Soho Jeans, attended a Michigan Avenue Magazine party then she headlined an event dubbed “A Sweet Evening with Jennifer Hudson.” 

Art Van Elslander, Chairman and Founder of Art Van Furniture, was all smiles posing up alongside the R&B songstress at the magazine party.

JHud’s sister Julia Hudson was in attendance too. Nothing like having family behind you.

Then....

The powerhouse vocalist got to doing what she does best….sing!

YAS JHUD!

After her performance...

Dan Uslan, President and Publisher of Michigan Avenue Magazine, and J.P. Anderson, Editor-In-Chief of Michigan Avenue Magazine, presented Jennifer and her sister a $15,000 check for their Julian D. King Gift Foundation, in honor of JHud’s nephew. How sweet.

Jennifer also performed at the grand opening of the Art Van Furniture store in Downers Grove.  The event was dubbed “A Sweet Evening with Jennifer Hudson.”

On Instagram, the soulful songbird took a moment to gather her thoughts before she hit the stage.  She said, "It's always hard to snap out of it n get into work mode when I'm home ! But I sing in my sleep."

Chick snapped into performance mode:

At another event in Chi-town...

The “Empire” cast took a stand against cancer last night during the MasterCard Stands Up To Cancer With The Priceless Table held at The Field Museum in Chicago.

Oscar nominated director Lee Daniels, writer/actor Danny Strong, “Empire” stars Jussie Smollett& Ta’Rhonda Jones, and actor DB Sweeny all snapped it up with Stand Up to Cancer co-founder Rusty Robertson, holding up signs with the names of loved ones who are battling cancer.

The "Empire" co-creators took a break from filming season 2 (which will premiere Sept. 23rd) to help raise cancer awareness.

Ta'Rhonda was in the mix rocking a cute royal blue jumpsuit and yellow clutch for a pop of color. Fab times.

"Extant" star Halle Berry was spotted shopping with her adorable son Maceo yesterday.  See more of their candids inside...

Oscar-winner Halle Berry was seen walking through Westfield Mall in Los Angeles yesterday, while holding hands with her 1 1/2-year-old son Maceo.  We rarely get a glimpse at Maceo's face...so this was a treat!

Halle, who's currently starring on the CBS-hit "Extant", is a very busy mom.   In addition to the big screen feature Kidnap (which she shot in New Orleans) she's set to launch her lingerie line Scandale Paris in Canada next month.

But it looks like mommy's busy schedule got the best of little Maceo.  She eventually had to pick him up and carry him around while handling her errands.

Then he fell asleep in her arms.  How cute!

Rihanna and co. were spotted on a retail run in Beverly Hills yesterday. As she exited the store, adoring fans and photogs swarmed her! Peep the pics and video inside….

O Heeeey RiRi!

Taking a break from the studio, Rihanna spent yesterday afternoon checking out some new lipstick hues from MAC Cosmetics. The Bajan beauty, who hasseveral signatureshadeswith the cosmetic company, was spied eyeing the array of lipstick tints at the Saks Fifth Avenue make-up counter. Hmm…we wonder which shade she decided on.

SIDEBAR - In other beauty news, the "BBHMM" singer is gearing up to release her fifth fragrance RiRi, set to hit stores in September.
 

Making a bee-line out of the department store....

RiRi tried to hide her face as best she could by pulling her hat over her eyes….

But when you’re an international pop sensation, it’s hard to go unnoticed.

Fans and photogs patiently awaited outside of the department store eager to snap a pic of the Dior spokeswoman as she walked outside to a waiting vehicle.

Looks like Rih was a little undecided on what particular look she was going for. She had on a floor-length black gown, which she could easily rock on a red carpet, but she paired it with a pair of white sneakers and a black baseball cap. Typical RiRi style.

And this is what it looked like outside of the store before Rih's departure:

Check out the frenzy she caused in a video clip below:

Evan Ross and Ashlee Simpson gave birth to a bouncing baby girl yesterday.  Deets inside...

On Thursday, singer Ashlee Simpson welcomed her first child with her husband, singer and actor Evan Ross. The couple are now the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl!

While news of the birth was confirmed to PEOPLE by a source close to the couple, the couple has not revealed their daughter's name yet.  But last month, Evan assured PEOPLE that the name would be special. “Yeah, it’s unique.  You guys will figure out the story behind it once we tell the name.”

Evan also told the magazine that their little princess will be spoiled. “That’s the main goal. She’s going to come into this world being spoiled by her family and by my family. They can’t help it.”

The couple are already parents to Ashlee's 6½-year-old son Bronx Mowgli. 

Congrats to Evan and Ashlee!

As the rap beef turns….Meek Mill’s sister Nasheema Williams dropped a freestyle coming for Drake’s neck shortly after her brother dropped his diss record “Wanna Know.” Meanwhile, journalist Julia Beverly explains who pee’d on Drizzy, Meek pops off at Hot 97’s music Director TT Torrez and still insists Quentin Miller is the real MVP. Get the deets inside….

The Internet was on FIRE last night after Meek Mill finally dropped his response diss record at Drake titled “Wanna Know.” While most of social media collectively laughed at Meek’s response, his sister Nasheema Williams was busy spitting her own bars aimed at the 6 God.

And she went in.

A few notable lines:

“You really an actress, you’re really not a thug/Remember on Degrassi b*tches never showed you love/You was always in your feelings, lil n*gga, you need a hug/Talking ‘bout you started from the bottom, now you here/I heard you started from the tip of the dick, you is a queer”

“You little singer a** n*gga/You little I been sleeping with your brother Jerry Springer a** n*gga/I gotta love song for my ringer a** nigga/Penetrate my a** with your middle finger a** nigga”

Yikes! Listen to the full freestyle above.
 

On Instagram....

Hot 97 music director TT Torrez dropped a little shade at the Philly rapper via social media, but Meek wasn’t having it. The “All Eyes On You” rapper and his “Twitter fingers” got to work, blasting TT for coming for him and being unprofessional for getting involved in the rap beef.

Baller Alert caught the beginning of the exchange and then TT posted all of Meek’s responses to her page (which she has since deleted). Check it below:
 

Meek then made accusations that TT is sleeping with Nicki Minaj's ex-fiance Safaree Samuels:

Lordt....

Meanwhile on Twitter....

At the end of Meek’s diss record, he rapped, “You let Tip homie piss on you in a movie theater.” Now, everyone is wondering…Who pee’d on Drizzy?

Well, journalist and OZONE magazine editor-in-chief Julia Beverly shares what she HEARD about the ordeal and here’s what she said:
 

She then adds:

so honestly, you're in a movie theater & this guy, drunk, pees in the aisle & splashes u. what do u do? pic.twitter.com/3fMKYr2OhT

— Julia Beverly (@JuliaBeverly) July 31, 2015

This morning....

Meek hopped on Instagram still throwing social media jabs at Drizzy, still insisting Drake’s alleged “ghostwriter” Quentin Miller is the real MVP. He wrote,

So this is rap now! You can have a n#%ga write ya raps and that's acceptable.. just like in the streets you can tell on people and still b the man and get the same respect as the next man! It's almost over for the the game lol I'm confused outchea...... I'm making all trap music after I do my thang with them! We still loaded! #quentinmiller changed the game #youtherealmvp

There are no signs of this “beef” ending anytime soon, so we’ll keep you updated.

Chile...“Love & Hip Hop Hollywood” star Teairra Mari has found herself in more trouble. Find out what she allegedly did to an Uber driver when he wouldn't let her use his iPhone charger….

One of Love & Hip Hop’s feistiest stars has found herself in yet another altercation.

Singer Teairra Mari, who often brings the drama on the VH1 reality show, got into it with an Uber driver this week and was put under citizen’s arrest!

Here’s what we know….

On Wednesday, Teairra called up an Uber driver after having lunch at Crustacean in Beverly Hills. According to TMZ, T-Mari asked the driver if she could borrow his iPhone charger to charge her phone, and he told her NO.

Apparently, this set T-Mari off and she allegedly went postal on dude. (SIDENOTE - We all know chick has a temper. She fought with her ex-boyfriend Ray J all the time). The driver claims Teairra PUNCHED him then snatched his charger. Once she allegedly assaulted him, he said he pulled over her and demanded she get out…but, of course, she wouldn’t.  So....he called the authorities!

Well….T-Mari is singing a different tune claiming she only “tapped him” and the reason she didn’t get out out the vehicle is because he told her to get out like she was a "f*cking prostitute.” Ummm…ok.

The police arrived on the scene where the driver made a citizen’s arrest for battery and theft. Womp! And guess what? The police found the iPhone charger in question in her damn purse. This chick….

And this isn’t her first run in with the law. Back in 2011, she was arrested in Beverly Hills for allegedly drinking and driving. She supposedly crashed her car AND assaulted a police officer.

Someone sign this chick up for anger management…STAT!

Beloved actress and philanthropist Jada Pinkett Smith appears in the latest issue of American Way Magazine where she opens up about survival skills, navigating Hollywood and her 18-year marriage to Will Smith.  More inside...

Jada Pinkett Smith is a survivor.  Raised on the tough streets of Baltimore (she was robbed at gunpont while in junior high), she moved to Hollywood at the age of 17 to begin her illustrious carrer.  In the latest issue of American Way, the magazine for American Airlines, Jada reveals the secrets to her survival and recounts her struggles.

As a woman who is constantly under the microscope for her marriage (new divorce rumors have surfaced this week), parenting skills, and political activism, her ability to survive over two decades in Hollywood is a testament to her strength and endurance. Peep the highlights here:

On marriage: Marriages go through shifts and relationships go through shifts because in life things shift. So people are automatically like, "What's going on? They must be getting a divorce." Well, no.'

On scrutiny: 'If you really want to know, I'm thankful for the Hollywood scrutiny, that that's my problem. There are mothers out there losing their sons, their husbands, their daughters. I'm blessed. 'So scrutinise me. I'll take that any day over what the majority of my people are dealing with on a daily basis. I dare not complain. Hollywood scrutiny has nothing on what I've survived just to be here.'

On picking Hollywood roles: I have really no interest in roles that keep me in a box. I’m not interested in just playing the pretty girl, or what people depict as being ‘tough’ or ‘street.’ I do love playing those gritty characters, as long as I’m given diversified ways to play them. Coming from the streets of Baltimore, I know there’s a lot of variation even within that world.”

On her upbringing:“My grandmother made sure I was trained. I had tap dance. I had ballet class. I had to learn French. I had to play the piano. She just wanted me to be the most well-rounded child.”

On her grandmother: “She was an atheist. And she was like, ‘If you want to believe in God, you have to pick your own god.”

On growing up in Baltimore:“So many people I lost on the streets,” she says, “and even just my own life, when I think back to who I was, living in Baltimore and what my ideas of survival were, and the kind of activities I was involved in at 13 years old. I was going to jail or I was gonna see a grave. Those were my two choices, because you get caught up in a mentality.”

On turning down a role on NBC's "Blossom": “I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I’ll die in this role,’ ” she remembers. “Let me tell you,” she says. “People in this industry were like, ‘Are you frigging kidding? This little nobody is saying no to a hit TV show? How dare she?!’ ” She was told she’d never get work again, but two weeks later, she did well at an audition for A Different World, the spinoff of The Cosby Show, and became a series regular. “That’s when I learned you wait when you feel something’s not right for you. You wait to take the shot. It was at a time when young and black was very hot in Hollywood. Doors were opening the way they’d never been open before.”
 

We just love her!

Baby! If one thing is for sure, Lauryn Hill’s vocals will have goosebumps crawling all over your body. And her performance on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” last night did just that!

The Grammy Award winning songstress tore the stage with a flawless cover of the legendary Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good,” paying homage to the iconic blues songstress.

In new music....

Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Jordin Sparks is gearing up for the release of her third studio album Right Here Right Now.

Today, she dropped the third single from her upcoming LP “They Don’t Give.” The new single is giving us a 90’s throwback R&B feel. And with good reason. Babyface and Salaam Remi helped produce the track.

On top of her new single dropping today, she also announced the date her new album is expected to drop. We can expect Jordin’s new album (which is available for pre-order on iTunes now) to be released on August 21st, featuring artists such as B.o.B, 2 Chainz, Shaggy and more. As we await Jordin’s new musical offering, take a listen to her new single “They Don’t Give” above.

And on another newly released track....
 

Alicia Keys is ready to make a comeback on the music scene with this newly released track “28 Thousand Days.” The fab mother drops another feel good track encouraging everyone to live his or her life to the fullest.

Why 28 Thousands Days? Well, we have about 28,000 days in the average life span of a human (which is about 76 years or age), so Alicia is reminding us to make every day count in the inspiring single. And what brings on this new music? Alicia is back in the studio working with her hubby Swizz Beatz and superproducer Pharrell on her follow up album to her successful 2012 LP, Girl On Fire. Get ready for more tunes from Ms. Beatz. Take a listen to the new track (which is also the background music for her new Levi’s commercial) above.

Speaking of Swizz…..
 

Alicia and Swizz are celebrating 5 years of martial bliss today! Alicia hit up her Instagram to send a special shoutout to her hubby Swizz posting the picture above and writing,

My dearest, love of my life-

The day we saw sunflowers drawn with chalk on the NYC park concrete we knew something special was happening. Something about that day, spoke to forever...
If life is a movie you're the only one I want to share the scene with,
If love is a dream, you're the only one I want to dream with,
If life is a game, you're the one I want to be on the team with!! There's no part of my #28000days, I want to live with out you...Happy 5th anniversary my King!!!! Photo by: @brendanforbes"

Aww...how sweet. Happy Anniversary to the Deans!

We saw this coming. Rumors are rampant that Hip Hop’s favorite couple Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill has called it quits! But do we believe it though? Decide for yourself and get your laugh on at the funniest memes and tweets aimed at Meek amidst his rap battle with Drake inside….

Is it true? Hip Hop’s current favorite couple is DUNZO? Hmmm…we’re not exactly buying it, but that’s what we’re hearing.

Word on the curb is that Nicki Minaj and her Philly rapper boyfriend Meek Mill have called it quits, which would suck for the both of them since they’re currently traveling together on Nicki’s “Pink Print Tour.”

Reports allege the twosome called it quits last night (July 30th), the same night the MMG rapper released his Drake diss record titled “Wanna Know.” Guess folks are saying his non-impressive bars (according to almost everyone’s review) was the cause of the break up, but we’re not exactly buying it.

According to an alleged source, the “Only” raptress and the “I’m A Boss” rapper are supposedly still “on good terms" and are expected to complete the tour together.

Hmph. Time will tell….

Now to the funny ish!

As the world of Hip Hop engages in the rap battle between the 6 God and the Philly native, some unsuspecting folks have joined in on the conversation. And they are firing hilarious shots at Meek over his “Wanna Know” track.

Big brands have taken to Twitter to “ether” Meek over what they feel was a lackluster response to Drizzy’s well-received “Back To Back” diss track. Brands such as Rosetta Stone (whom Drake gives a shoutout on his track “Over”), White Castle and Burger King, to name a few, are dragging Meek for filth!

Peep their hilarious tweets below:
 

Too funny!

And, of course, Instagram is on fire with memes that'll have you holding your stomach from laughing so hard. Check 'em:

The Game is striking while the iron’s HOT! He just released new visuals for his track “100” featuring Drake. Kendrick Lamar gave the video treatment to his interlude "For Free?" and Future has new visuals for his song “Kno the Meaning.” Check them out inside….

West coast rapper The Game is using all of the media attention surrounding Drake to good use. Drizzy is featured on his track “100,” which is set to appear on The Game’s upcoming studio album The Documentary 2. So, the fellas linked up to shoot the video recently in Compton under the direction of Theo Skudra.

Not only does Game have a new video and upcoming album, he also has a new reality show coming to VH1 called “She’s Got Game.” Get the deets on the show HERE. It’s expected to premiere August 10th. In the meantime, peep his newest video treatment below:

In another new video....

Kendrick Lamar is all about artistic expression in this new video for his interlude “For Free?,” a cut from his well-received To Pimp A Butterfly. K-Dot brings the clip alive with a jazz band as he raps “This d*ck ain’t free” to his woman who threatened to leave him. It’s a very interesting video, nothing ordinary for sure. Check it above.

Also....

Ciara's ex Future is still riding the wave of his No. 1 album Dirty Sprite 2. In the clip, the ATL rapper details the nights his disc jockey -DJ Esco- had to spend 56 nights in a Dubai jail following his arrest for marijuana possession, accorind to Rap-Up. Yikes! Check it above.

The Houston and Brown families attended a wake for Bobbi Kristina Brown yesterday to say goodbye to their loved one. Peep the somber pics inside…

Bobby Brown was spotted puffy eyed and seemingly grief stricken as he walked outside of the wake for his 22-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, whom he shared with the late Whitney Houston, in Atlanta yesterday.

Bobby and a few of his family members were seen leaving Murray Brothers Funeral Home through the back door as they met up with other family members outside of the funeral home after they paid their respects. All of his children were there to say their goodbyes to their sister.

His wife Alicia Etheredge, who gave birth to their daughter last month, was right by his side to lend her support during this troubling time.

Bobby's son, Bobby Brown Jr., also came out to say goodbye to his sister.

A sorrowful looking Pat Houston and her husband/Whitney Houston’s brother Gary Houston was also seen making their way to a waiting vehicle, surrounded by security, after they visited Bobbi Kristina. Whitney's mother Cissy Houston also stopped by the funeral home to pay her respects.

It's being reported the Houstons went in to view her body first, around 6pm, and then the Browns went in to see BK.

Five days after Bobbi Kristina’s passing in hospice care, the families will say their final good-byes today for her invite-only homegoing service at the St James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta. There have been rumors that the funeral will have a “Sweet 16”/prom theme to it since Bobbi K didn’t experience either during her short life.

The family has asked instead of sending flowers, to make donations to the Marion P Foundation, a charity founded by Pat Houston for troubled teens. Bobbi K's funeral services are scheduled for later today.

May she rest in peace.

Ciara and Baby Future were on the sidelines cheering on Russell Wilson during training camp…but not before he grabbed a good luck kiss from his lady. Peep their coupledom shots and get the deets on Russell’s new lucrative contract with the Seattle Seahawks inside….

Hot new couple Ciara and Russell Wilson keep bringing the cutesy coupledom moments. Yesterday, CiCi trekked it to the Seattle Seahawks training camp to support her man hours after he signed a major deal with his team (more on that in a sec).

Before hitting the gridiron, the Seahawks QB received a good luck kiss from his queen. Aww…

And look who else was there...

Baby Future! While his pops Future has been vocal about not being pleased with “new men” being around his son, CiCi doesn’t seem bothered one bit. She brought little Future out for the football fun and to cheer on his possible "future" step-dad at the  Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton, WA.

And it looks like Russell is getting in enough “step-daddy” practice, holding little Future on the sidelines. Too cute.

Later, the Super Bowl champ signed autographs for fans.

Then, he chopped it up with the media about his new contract. Let's talk about that...shall we?

Russell Wilson just became the 2nd highest paid football player in the NFL after signing a 4-year $87.6 million contract extension with the Seattle Seahawks. The lucrative deal includes a $31 million signing bonus and he’s guaranteed a cool $61 million. WINNING!

The “I Bet” singer took to Twitter to congratulate her man on signing his new contract:
  

Congratulations Are In Order To My Baby @DangeRussWilson and The Seattle Seahawks! So Exciting! Go Hawks! 3's Up!

— Ciara (@ciara) July 31, 2015

The superstar QB also took to his Twitter to express his excitement about returning to the Seahawks. He tweeted:

Blessed to be w/ this organization for 4 more years! Can't wait to get on field w/ the fellas! @Seahawks#ChampionshipMindset#GoHawks

— Russell Wilson (@DangeRussWilson) July 31, 2015

Definitely an upgrade for CiCi...and we're not mad at all. Congrats!

Rihanna is back in Barbados! The Pop princess laid out by the pool in a itty bitty yellow bikini before partying at Crop Over. "Hit The Floor" star Rob Riley was also in the mix. Meanwhile, Adrienne Bailon is kicking off a relaxing weekend in the Hamptons. Peep the pics inside…..

Jetting from Beverly Hills, Rihanna has returned "heauxm" in Barbados to party with the locals to partake in the Crop Over festivities. But, before she hit the party scene, chick served up a hot photoshoot by the pool in an itty bitty yellow bikini yesterday.

Shot by her bestie Melissa Forde, Rih flossed her tight and toned bod in an array of summer fun flicks by the pool.

The Island Gal put on her best model behavior as she flaunted her “ass”ets while rocking a Jacquie Aiche body chain and jewelry.

Coming from behind the camera, Melissa served up bikini fab in a hot two-piece with her bestie. Bikini baring besties at its finest.

After lounging by the pool....

The "BBHMM" singer made her way to Crop Over to partake in the annual festival in her beloved hometown. She linked up with "EXTRA" correspondent A.J. Calloway, who is also in town for the festival.

RiRi’s other bestie Leandra is also in the mix for the summer fun with her girls.

While getting drenched in paint, Rih made sure to snap a few "us-ies" with a few fans:

And her friends joined in on the fun:

Check out the madness below:

Looks like Rih is gearing up for one hell of a weekend.

And look who else is there....

"Hit the Floor" star Rob Riley, who started his own Carnival production company, was also in the mix to party it up with locals. Looks like he had loads of fun.

Meanwhile....

Instead of hitting the party scene this weekend, “The Real” co-host Adrienne Bailon is looking to get in some R&R in the Hamptons.

Chick jetted to Ruschmeyers in Montauk, NY for a relaxing weekend to unwind from her hectic schedule. And it appears she's solo, sans her fiance Lenny Santigao. He was busy snapping flicks at Kevin Hart's "What Now" tour stop in Chi-town last night.

What’s this? Sanaa Lathan and French Montana spotted out together…again? Yep, the twosome is fueling dating rumors after being spotted at dinner together. Check out the video and peep flicks of Safaree Samuels and his new chick Zashia Santiago stunting for the ‘gram inside….

Press play....

Yep! That’s Sanaa Lathan and French Montana enjoying a super fancy dinner together recently. Are these two an item? We’re not sure. But, we do know the two seem to enjoy spending time with one another these days.

Remember that eyebrow raising video of Sanaa stretched outon Frenchie a few weeks ago? We’ll blame it on the alcohol, but the Hollywood vet and the NYC rapper do seem like they're warming up to each other.
 

Last week, the upcoming Perfect Guy star poked fun at the relationship rumors, following that video surfacing (thanks to Diddy). She posted up a photoshooped pic of The Perfect Guy poster with French on the left and Diddy on the right, taking the place of her real co-stars Michael Ealy and Morris Chestnut:

Ha! Maybe chick is just having fun. We'll keep an eye out.

The Perfect Guy hits theaters September 11th.

Speaking of the Coke Boy...

Looks like French is cooking up something big with R&B songstress Mariah Carey and Pop superstar Justin Bieber.

MiMi, French, JB and producer Eric Hudson were spotted at the Record Plant in Hollywood on Thursday. And it appears they trio may be releasing a joint track soon. Both MC and French posted flicks on IG with the caption “coming soon.”

Hmm...no word on where this alleged track will end up, but we're interested in hearing how it turns out.

Elsewhere on the 'gram....

After throwing shade at Meek Mill for his mediocre diss track “Wanna Know,” Nicki Minaj’s ex-fiancée Safaree Samuels is serving up a few hot coupledom shots of himself and his new girlfriend Zashia Santiago.

The new couple was all wrapped up in love as they posed it up for a few sexy flicks. And we can’t lie, they’re kinda hot! We're wondering if it's for a Calvin Klein ad in GQ magazine. Safaree mentions GQ in one of his captions.

In another caption, he writes, "Back to front.... We have 1 back to back ill save for a later time.. @jayflex #hardestpicoftheyear #stuntgang #calvinkleinneedsme #loveyou #rare #shewatchesmyback nothing like the feeling of tackling the world together... the other one"

Not mad. Do you boo.

The Brown and Houston families along with close friends said their final goodbye to 22-year-old Bobbi Kristina Brown yesterday. But, drama erupted during the service after Bobby’s sister Leolah Brown was escorted out of the service for blasting Pat Houston. More inside….

The funeral service of 22-year-old Bobbi Kristina Brown, the only child of the late Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, was held at St. James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta, Ga yesterday. Family and friends filled the church for the invite-only service to mourn the death of Bobbi Kristina, a life gone too son. Bobbi Kristina died on July 26th in hospice care, 6-months after she was found unresponsive in a bath tub inside of her home.

BK’s father Bobby Brown looked totally distraught as he exited the funeral service with his wife Alicia Etheredge and other family members as Krissy’s casket was removed from the funeral service.

Bobbi Kristina’s grandmother Cissy Houston, her uncle Gary Houston, his wife and BK’s co-legal guardian Pat Houston were also spotted somberly leaving the funeral service as they mourned the death of their beloved Krissy.

Several celebrities, including Grammy Award winning singer Monica, filmmaker and close family friend Tyler Perry and actor Michael Jai White all came out to pay their final respects during the services. Peep pics of Tyler and Michael here.

It's being reported Bobbi Kristina's boyfriend Nick Gordon begged Bobby Brown and Pat Houston to attend the funeral via email, but ultimately was turned down.

What should have been a peaceful ceremony, drama erupted during the service, causing one family to be escorted out.

Bobby’s sister Leolah Brown caused a scene during the service as Pat Houston stood before mourners to speak a few words. According to sources, Leolah began yelling “Whitney is rolling over in her grave! Pat you know you are wrong for this!"

We hear (but can’t confirm) Tyler Perry asked Leolah to leave the service before she was escorted out by security. Once outside, Leolah swiftly walked towards the media to speak out about Pat. She said,

“Whitney will haunt Pat Houston from the grave. She will haunt her. That is not over. It has just begun. I have information, I have knowledge of who Pat really is. She has no relation to Krissy. She’s not even a Houston. This is going to be a long drawn out thing. It’s not over. I’ll be doing interviews and I’ll be speaking out and telling the truth about Pat.”

While we’re not exactly sure what set Leolah off, we believe it may have something to do with the “family” asking people to not send flowers, but rather donations for the Marion P Foundation, a charity founded by Pat Houston for troubled teens.

We believe this because in a Facebook rant last month, Leolah slammed Pat for gunning for BK’s estate. In short, she vented,

"Instead of trying to get control over my niece's money that her mother Whitney (who could not STAND the sight of you) left her (Bobbi Kriss), why don't you seek a profession on your own Pat? Money that has nothing at all to do with you Pat Watson! And there is NO blood at all in Pat Watson Garland that is running through my niece's vains, for starters! Who are you Pat? Let's get to the real you. I know who you are and I have no problem with revealing that."

“Pat has NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER to be anywhere near my niece's Estate! Whitney would NEVER CONDONE OR AGREE to that!”

Yikes! We realize this is a sensitive matter as everyone has been mourning and it pains us that this has happened under these circumstances. Our hope is that the Brown and Houston family can one day find peace and continue to uphold Whitney and Bobbi Kristina's legacies.

And if that wasn’t enough….

Shortly after the funeral service, Bobby’s wife Alicia, who gave birth to a baby girl last month, suffered a seizure and was rushed to an Atlanta hospital. According to TMZ, Alicia had the seizure in the hotel they were staying. The ambulance was called and they whisked her to treatment. Once she got to the hospital, it’s reported she was able to walk inside with little help. And, of course, Bobby was with her the entire time. Story still developing…..

Our prayers are with both the Brown and Houston families during this troubling time. R.I.P. Bobbi Kristina.
