Shad "Bow Wow" Moss and Jamie Foxx took their daughters to Chris Brown's concert this weekend.  But before they all posed it up backstage along with Jermaine Dupri and others, Bow was caught up in a heap of mess with hi fiance. 

Deets inside....

Chris Brown rolled his One Hell Of A Nite tour into Anaheim, CA Friday night, so his homies Bow Wow and Jamie Foxx made their way to the Honda Center with daughters Shai and Annalise.  They also caught up with Jermaine Dupri backstage while snapping pics with Chris.

We wonder if Chris' daughter Royalty met the other YBF tots...

Chris was spotted with another little girl whom he called his niece backstage.

Shai wasnt here for whatever Daddy was trying to offer.

Right before the fun times in Anaheim, Bow Wow was getting dragged by Instagram for HIS dragging of his own fiance. 

The "CSI: Cyber" star took to his social media to make 4 -- yes, 4 -- videos going off on fiancé Erica Mena about HER speaking about their personal issues like their miscarriage on social media.  Yep, you read that right.  Apparently he's mad she is speaking about it 5 months AFTER the miscarriage happened.

Pot, meet kettle.

But since you're welcoming us into your drama Bow, we'll offer our two cents.  Check out the videos below that have Erica's post about the sad situation as well:

 

Speaking of #BowWow, he's blasting his own fiancé for speaking about the miscarriage she had with their baby. Apparently it happened 5 months ago and #EricaMena decided to talk about it just a few days ago. It pains us to even talk about these two but foolywang material must be addressed. Women who suffer miscarriages are allowed to grieve and speak about it however and whenever they want. #ShadMoss is getting railed by the innanets for his multi-part video blasting. Interestingly, he said she was wrong for talking about personal issues in social media. Yet, here's his video that he posted to social media...

Well, Bow Wow, a woman has a right to grieve however and whenever she feels, especially when it comes to the loss of a child.  Plenty of followers, who were quick to say they're not even Erica Mena fans, commented on his videos calling him all kinds of d**ches and a**holes for blasting his own woman this way.  Bow blasting her on the same social media he's criticizing her for using to get attention.....we just can't.

A fan commented, "Don't take it out on Social media."

Bow's response:

"Never. I love and respect her too much to do so.  That's my woman for life."

We're still unclear if they're still together or not.  But Erica did respond with this:

These two...

TheYBF.com is bringing you up-to-the-minute coverage of the 2015 Emmy and both "Bessie" and Reg E. Cathey are early winners.  More inside....

Earlier tonight, Queen Latifah's stellar Bessie Smith bio pic, Bessie took home the 2015 EMMY for Outstanding Television Movie. During an interview with BILLBOARD prior to the awards, Queen Latifah (shown atop during an ealier awards show) revealed what attracted her to the role.

"She was fearless and flawed in a lot of ways. She was perfectly imperfect, and I can relate to that. It reminded me of the ups and downs of my life in this business and my journey. It was the first time I ever watched a movie with me in it and cried."

Congrats to the entire cast.

In other praise reports....

Fantastic Four actor Reg. E. Cathey took home the EMMY for Outstanding Guest Actor In A Drama Series for his work on "House of Cards."

Regina King took home an EMMY earlier tonight for her work on the hit ABC series "American Crime."  More inside.....

Oh yes!  The former child star, who first entered our lives alongside Marla Gibbs and Jackee Harry on "227", now has an Emmy to call her own.

Moments ago, she won the 2015 EMMY for Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Limited Series/Movie for her role on "American Crime."

Regina can now add her name to a short list of Black actresses who've come before her and also claimed the prize. Oliva Cole won the award in 1977 for her work in Roots, followed by Ester Rolle in 1979, Ruby Dee in 1991 and Cicely Tyson in 1994.

She's in great company and we see MANY, MANY accolades in her future.

Congrats Regina!

Virgo ladies Angela Simmons and Sanaa Lathan both celebrated their birthdays this weekend.  Find out how inside...

Angela Simmons enjoyed a few afternoons on the beaches of Miami this weekend to ring in her 28th birthday.  After kicking things off on Friday, the fashion designer rocked a blue snakeskin print one piece under a black see-through dress, and a pair of kitty sunglasses today.  And y'all already know she was flaunting those hot cakes she's been working so hard on in the gym every day:

After soaking up some rays, the hottie hit the jet skis for a whirl around the ocean:

Yesterday, she kept it sexy in a sporty white bikini with her fave new shades from Korees Closet:
 

And if you forgot for a minute that she now has flat hard abs and a disappearing waist...

If you got it, flaunt it.  So what does she say about turning 28?  The reality star posted:

Focused on acceptance ... As I come into this new year of 28.. I realize my body is starting to fill out more than what I have ever seen. As a woman I believe our bodies go through changes .. But it's about accepting and loving yourself as you are. And making adjustments along the way. Growing up I actually had body issues . And was concerned I was too big because I was curvier than the other girls in my class. As I've grown I've decided to love my body as it is. It's important for me to obtain a healthy body ... mind.... And soul. I share this with because I know I'm not the only woman out there who is dealing with body changes and also working towards being better ! Hope this helped someone !
Always Love Yourself it's starts there.

Word!

As for Sanaa, she wasn't in a bikini but she was surely looking quite sexy for her 44th birthday yesterday.  The actress was spotted clubbing at Bootsy Bellows nightclub in West Hollywood:

She looked like she was definitely having a good time, and even caught up with a friend outside:

Check out a few videos of what went down inside her b-day celebration below.  Chick had lots to celebrate this weekend by the way.  In addition to being the birthday girl, her movie The Perfect Guy is still riding high and she's already got a few more movies on deck like The Best Man Wedding and Now You See Me: The Second Act.

Uzo Aduba is now a two-time Emmy winner!  The fabulous "OITNB" star just walked off stage with her second Emmy.  And this one's a history maker.  More inside....

Moments ago, Uzo Aduba made history.  Last year, the classically-trained opera singer burst onto the scene in the hit Netflix series "OITNB"" where she landed the breakout role Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren. Of course, with her wide-ranging performance and complete grasp of the character, she'd go on to win the 2014 EMMY for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

But then things changed.....folks started to take "OITNB" more seriously and the execs in the writers room kept writing jokes but went more for drama this season. As a result, Uzo's work this season landed her in the "Drama" category and earlier tonight, she won the 2015 EMMY for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.

In addition to being a two-time winner, she's in the history books as the first actress to win for same role in both the Comedy and Drama categories. #BlackExcellence

Congrats Uzo!

Viola Davis made history moments ago for her monumental 2015 EMMY win. More inside....

Viola Davis (shown with husband Julius Tennon) just cemented her name in Hollywood. Why? Moments ago, she became the first Black actress to ever win a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.

With a tear-jerking speech that began with a quote from Harriet Tubman, Viola praised her Hollywood sisters in the struggle (Halle Berry, Gabrielle Union, Meagan Good, Taraji P. Henson, Nicole Beharie) before adding, “The only thing that separates women of color from anyone is opportunity."

Althought Viola beat out fan favorite Taraji P. Henson, this was still the first time two black actresses were simultaneously nominated in this category.

On a historical note, while "Fame" star Debbie Allen was nominated for the award four times (1982-1985) and Kerry Washington famously made the rounds in 2013 and 2014, Viola is the FIRST black woman to win the Emmy for lead Actress In A Drama Series.

Cheers to Viola! Well deserved. 

That "removing of the wig" scene went a long way.

A few of the ladies brought the dramatics to the red carpet at Sunday night's 67th Annual EMMYS.  Check out the gowns that raised a few eyebrows inside...

Yes!  Twirl, Teyonah Parris!  The former "Mad Men" star, who now stars on "Survivor's Remorse," was on hand to cheer on the show for its Outstanding Drama Series nomination.  She made sure all eyes were on her as she arrived on the extra steamy red carpet (it was 106 degrees!) in a black and white polka dotted Francesca Miranda gown.

All the layers of chiffon didn't make her overheat, but the dress definitely did its job in capturing attention as Teyonah slayed he carpet.

Right before she walked the carpet, she Periscoped the scene for her fans.  And yes, she had ombre iridescent nails to boot.

Yeah, we're kinda obsessed.  By the way, Teyonah is in the film Dear White People, which you can check on Netflic now, as well as the upcoming movie headed to theaters called Chiraq.

"Orange Is The New Black" star Danielle Brooks was at the Emmys to cheer on her costar Uzo Aduba, who won the statue for Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama.  Danielle didn't shy away from the camera attention, though.  She rocked the colors of the rainbow in her pleated chiffon Christian Siriano gown.

While the gown received mixed reviews on social media, we love Danielle for taking a risk.

The bold risk taker said,"So much fun. #voiceofthecurves and Yes curvy girls can wear designer. Thank you @csiriano."

Still a fab chick in our eyes.

Much to our surprise, Porsha Williams of "RHOA" and "Dish Nation" popped up on the red carpet:

You already know she kept with her usual dramatic flair and rocked a satin and lace full skirted dress as she represented the Dish Nation radio and tv show on the carpet.  She interviewed celebs on the carpet for the show in this waterfall layered concoction that also received mixed reviews on social media.

Tell us what you think.  Whose look are you loving?!

The 67th Annual Emmys were melanin-filled Sunday night as YBF celebs flocked to the red carpet before the golden statues were handed out at TV;s biggest nigh.  We've got a major round up of red carpet looks inside...

Yes, Taraji, for this bob action!  Emmy nominee and "Empire" star Taraji P. Henson hit the EMMYS red carpet with her makeup and hair polished to perfection.

All of this black semi-sheer and chain strap hotness is a custom creation by designer Alexander Wang.  Taraji said that Alexander was the designer who took her to her first MET ball, so it was only right he played a part in her big night.

Kerry Washington was the epitome of fresh off the runway. 

The "Scandal" star showed off her fab bod, peekaboo style, in a Marc Jacobs embellished dress that just hit the runway of NYFW a few days ago.  Kerry has been nominated for the Emmy in the Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series previously, but not tonight. So she walked into the Microsoft Theater in her Casadei heels and Harry Winston jewels to cheer on friends Taraji, Viola, Regina King and more.

Celeb stylist June Ambrose was a vision in yellow rocking NY Indian designer Bibhu Mohapatra.  The fashion designer -- who has her own collection on HSN -- interviewed celebs on the carpet and acter the show for Yahoo TV.

Tracee Ellis Ross had the internets torn over her look.  In a pink tiered Zac Posen look, Tracee was there to present alongside her "Blackish" co-star Anthony Anderson.  After that, she cheered Anthony on for his Lead actor in a comedy series Emmy nomination.

Speaking of Anthony, he said that he brought his son on the carpet as his date because his mother would have been too hysterical and likely wouldn't act appropriately.  Ha!

The father-son duo kept it extra dapper on the carpet. 

Nominee David Oyelowo looked great in his tux and posed it up alongside his wife Jessica.

"American Crime" creator John Ridley attended with wife Gayle Ridley.

Uzo!  Before walking away as one of the biggest winners of the night, making history as the first black woman to cop the Lead Actress in a Drama Series to join her Lead Actress In A Comedy series award, the OITNB star hit the carpet in pink.

The navy paint splatter gives the gown a litle egde, and Uzo looked fabulous. 

Also in pink was Uzo's "Orange Is The New Black" co-star Samira Wiley.  Pretty.

Anybody else obsessed with Netflix's "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"?  Star Titus Burgess hit the carpet to cheer on the Emmy nominated series.

Just call her EMMY WINNER Regina King from now on!  Sunday night's biggest winner stepped away from her threads on "American Crime" (when playing Aliyah Shadeed) and into the glamour of the red carpet.

This white sparkling gown needs an award of its own.

Niecy Nash dashed on to the carpet with her husband Jay in a red Mark Zunino gown.  She may nt have won her Emmy, but it was a huge deal for her to be nominated for her HBO show "Getting On."

Actors Jordan Peele and Chelsea Peretti posed it up on the carpet.

Tracey Edmonds rocked a white beaded dress as she hit the carpet to interview celebs for EXTRA.

"OITNB" star Laverne Cox kept it sleek in a turquoise Calvin Klein cut-out gown:

Nice.  You can't see them here, but she rocked bright yellow pumps underneath.

Check out Teyonah Parris, Porsha Williams and more in their dramatic red carpet looks HERE!

It was a men's fashion face-off between producer Will Packer and "black-ish" creator Kenya Barris. The fellas showed up at the EMMYs in the exact same blue suit. Ha! So...who rocked it best?!

Everyone's raving about the new APPLE commercial starring Grammy-winner Mary J. Blige, and Emmy-nominated actresses Taraji P. Henson and Kerry Washington.  Check it out inside....

On the heels of a night of #BlackExcellence as multiple African American actors walked away with wins at the 67th Annual EMMYS, we've got an epic advertisement from APPLE.

Under the direction of award-winning director Ava DuVernay, three of our fav YBF chics Taraji, Mary and Kerry linked up for a house party.  

The ad for the Apple Music service opens with Kerry and Taraji walking up to the front door of Mary's home when  Taraji asks, "Wait a minute, wait a minute. Is that Slick Rick?” She and Kerry then start dancing as Mary opens the door.

We come to learn that APPLE has a new service that creates playlists and mixtapes based on the user's moods and preferences and the ladies love it!

After the clip debuted, Ava tweeted that it was the first of three commercials starring the trio. The next two will debut later in the week.

You wanna rumble with the Bee huh?

The Queen Bee of Hip Hop, Lil Kim, was in full effect on the stage.

It was just like old times as the "No Time" rapstress hit the stage with longtime friend Diddy.

And Diddy really put his "heart" into the performance.

In addition to his appearance with Lil Kim, Diddy also brought out Bad Boy fav Mase!  Hmm....we wonder if Pastor Betha made it to church on Sunday morning?

Busta Rhymes hit the stage for the Bad Boy mini-reunion too.

Fetty Wap hit the stage and sent the crowd into a tizzy with "Trap Queen." 

Detroit's finest, Big Sean, hit the stage to run through his hits.

In case you missed this year’s EMMY Awards, we’ve rounded up all of the moments you need to know. From Tracy Morgan’s return, to history making wins from some uber fab YBF actresses, we have it all. Check ‘em inside….

For those of you who didn’t watch the 2015 EMMY Awards last night, here's what you need to know to participate in convos at work, at the grocery store and while making your rounds.

Comedian Tracy Morgan was one of the major highlights of evening making his triumphant return to the limelight after being seriously injured. It was his first appearance at a Hollywood event since being involved in a tragic (and fatal) highway accident, which left him in a coma for 8 days.

As the evening’s final presenter, Tracy was tapped to present the nominees for Best Drama. He spoke about his road to recovery and even through in a few jokes, of course! He said, The comic told the crowd, “Last year, Jimmy Kimmel said on stage, ‘I’ll see you next year,’ Thanks to my doctors and my beautiful wife, I’m here standing on my own two feet.” He then said,"When I finally regained consciousness, I was just ecstatic to learn that I wasn't the one who messed up."

Peep his presentation below:
 

Tracy will return to the small screen to host "Saturday Night Live" on October 17th.

“How to Get Away With Murder” lead actress Viola Davis became the first Black actress to ever win a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. With a very heartfelt and tear-jerking speech that began with a quote from Harriet Tubman, Viola praised her Hollywood sisters in the struggle (Halle Berry, Gabrielle Union, Meagan Good, Taraji P. Henson, Nicole Beharie) before adding, “The only thing that separates women of color from anyone is opportunity." YAS!

“Orange is the New Black” actress Uzo Aduba came back to this year’s EMMYs to nab yet another golden statue. She won for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series last night. In addition to being a two-time winner, she's in the history books as the first actress to win for same role in both the Comedy and Drama categories. Werk!

“American Crime” star Regina King was also amongst the #BlackGirlsRock crew last night. She nabbed an EMMY for Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Limited Series/Movie. She will join the ranks of Oliva Cole who won the award in 1977 for her work in Roots, followed by Ester Rolle in 1979, Ruby Dee in 1991 and Cicely Tyson in 1994. Congrats!
 

While our girl Taraji P. Henson didn’t win an EMMY last night, she certainly nabbed the “Best Supportive Home Girl” award. Taraji showed major support when the other YBF chicks hit the stage to accept their awards. And that’s just one of the reasons we love her so. Check it above.

Meanwhile...

Kanye and Kim were spotted out having a day date yesterday, which included fine dining and a trip to the movies.  See them inside...

Kim Kardashian has three months to go with her second pregnancy and her hubby Kanye has been very accommodating when it comes to making sure she has all she needs....including fine foods.

On Sunday, the world's most talked about couple dined at posh Malibu eatery Cafe Habana where Kim's tight mauve dress showed off her baby bump.

We also noticed that Ye' is the perfect gentleman, making sure his expectant wife didn't stumble in her heels and made it back into their vehicle safely.

After lunch, sources on the scene say the Wests headed to the movies.  Hmmm.....we wonder if they went to see Sanaa, Morris and Michael in The Perfect Guy.

In case you missed it, Kanye was the talk of the fashion world last week when he pulled off the most-talked about presentation of NYFW with his Skylight Modern show for his Kanye West x Adidas collection. Did you already decide on your favorite piece?

BONUS:

Kanye West was also a performer at the iHeart Music Festival in Las Vegas this weekend, where he was introduced by Jared Leto. During his set, fans were treated to a slew of hits including “Power,” “Black Skinhead,” “All Day,” “Mercy” and “Don’t Like.”

We’ve rounded up a few events that some YBFers attended over the weekend. Come inside to peep pics of Nelly and his girlfriend Miss Jackson, Laz Alonso, Justine Skye, President Barack Obama,First Lady Michelle Obama and more….

Rapper turned reality star Nelly and his girlfriend Shantel Jackson partied with cause over the weekend. The twosome hit up Face Forward’s 6th annual fundraising gala held at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in L.A. to help raise funds for domestic abuse survivors.

As you may recall, Miss Jackson has a lawsuit against her ex-fiance Floyd Mayweather for his alleged abusive ways (and a slew of other offenses). She captioned a pic on IG thanking her beau for his support saying, "Thank you for supporting me this evening, and everyday since we have met. @derrtymo you complete me."

The couple came dressed to impress both rocking Dsquared2 ensembles as they posed it up with "Dancing With The Stars" contestant Chaka Khan, who took a break from the dance floor to support the event's efforts.

At another event....

Beautiful songstress Justine Skye put on a sexy display in a black cut-out number at the 9th Annual ADCOLOR Awards held at Chelsea Piers in Manhattan.

“Mysteries of Laura” actor Laz Alonso was looking dapper as ever to celebrate the best and brightest in the advertising, marketing, PR, media and entertainment industries.

Fashion activist Bethann Hardison attended the event to accept 2015 ADCOLOR Lifetime Achievement Award. Congrats !

Radio One chairperson and founder Catherine L. Hughes brought regalness to the red carpet after accepting her award. She too was honored with the 2015 ADCOLOR Lifetime Achievement Award. Nice!

Once inside....

Laz and Justine hit the stage to present an award.

Raptress MC Lyte was tapped to co-host. She also nabbed the CATALYSTS award for using her platform to serve as the voice of a cause/community.

“The Talk" co-host Aisha Tyler was also on the scene to present an award.

In the nation's captial....

President Barack Obama took the stage to deliver a powerful keynote speech at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's 45th Annual Legislative Conference Phoenix Awards Dinner held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center over the weekend.

During his speech, POTUS (above joined by his lovely wife First Lady Michelle Obama) touched on equal pay for black women and the disadvantages black women face in the work force. In part, he said,

“Women were the foot soldiers. They strategized boycotts. Organized marches. All of us are the beneficiaries of a long line of strong black women who helped carry our country forward. It’s thanks to black women that we’ve come a long way since the days when a girl like Ruby Bridges couldn’t go to school…Black women have been a part of every great movement in American history. Even if they weren’t always given a voice.”

He added,

"It makes a mockery of our economy when black women make 30 fewer cents for every dollar every a white man earns. That adds up to thousands of dollars in missed income that determines whether a family can pay for a home, or pay for college for their kids, or savor for retirement, or give their kids a better life. And that’s not just a women’s issue, that’s everybody’s issue. I want Michelle getting paid at some point!

PREACH POTUS! President Obama also advocated for a black woman to be placed on the $10 bill, he addressed criminal justice reform, law enforcement and more.

Also during his speech, POTUS briefly mentioned presidential hopeful Hilary Clinton calling her outstanding and used her as an example of a woman who can relate to the struggles women face for equal pay.

Afterwards, President O was swarmed by supporters eager to get a snag a pic of him.

Peep a few clips from his speech below:

Also at the event...

It was a Love Jones reunion at the CBC dinner! Hollywood vets Larenz Tate and Nia Long snapped it up after their hosting duties. He captioned, “The First Lady of #lovejones @iamnialong and I hosting the #CBCFALC15 Congressional Black Caucus Dinner 2015 in #WashingtonDC Mr. President Barak Obama and The First Lady are in the buildling! Photos to come! #Presidential" LOVE how neither of them appear to have aged a bit.

"News One Now" anchor Roland Martin snapped it up with Vice President Joe Biden where he captioned, "My Selfie with @VP Biden at @CBCFInc. We had a brief discussion about a few things. I've always enjoyed a warm relationship with him. Then others asked me to take their photos. Biden says: "I didn't know Roland was a photographer!" See, I hate when folks take all day taking photos with me, so I just said, "I got it." Otherwise the VP would still be waiting for some folks to take the photo! LOL" Ha!

Soulful songstress Chrisette Michele (rocking a HALSTON HERITAGE dress) was tapped to hit the stage for a performance during the dinner.

After her performance, Chrisette got the chance to chop it up with POTUS and FLOTUS, which she captioned, "And then I laughed a little with The President and The First Lady | The second time I've had the honor of entertaining her royalty (@michelleobama | @barackobama)" Nice!

Fun times.

Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill will be putting their love on front street in a brand new photoshoot for GQ. Come inside for the sneak peek at the behind-the-scenes shenanigans and deets on Drake and Future’s new mixtape inside…

After collaborating on their first track together (“All Eyes On You”) and traveling the world on "The Pinkprint" tour, Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill have joined forces for their very first magazine spread.

The Hip Hop couple will be heating up GQ magazine’s October 2015 issue. And we’ve got the behind-the-scenes clip of the twosome getting hot and heavy in the back seat of a ride for the steamy shoot.

Photographed and directed by Ellen von Unwerth, Nicki and Meek can’t keep their hands off one another as they kiss and embrace. They also act as if they’re counting up their stacks as Nicki playfully throws the money in the air making it rain.

Check it below:

In other news...

There were rumors Drake and Future was planning to drop a joint mixtape. And those rumors were confirmed last night after Drizzy and Future dropped an 11-track mixtape titled What a Time To Be Alive.

It appears the 6ix God isn’t quite done roasting Meek Mill yet. On one track titled “30 for 30 Freestyle,” the Young Money emcee allegedly comes after Nicki’s current beau rapping,“I mean, I say hats off for a solid effort/But we didn't flinch for a second, we got our shit together/Yeah, not here to fight wars”

He adds, “The pen is working if you niggas need some ghost lines/I thought you wanted yours like I want mine.”
 

On the track "Change Locations," Drizzy raps,"F*ck all the opps and the shots that they send/I let off first then I let off again/You may not hear from them ever again." Bloop!

On another track titled “Diamonds Dancing,” it appears Drizzy MAY be coming at his labelmate Nicki Minaj on the outro where he raps:

You doing me dirty
You doing me dirty
You doing me dirty
You doing me dirty
You know
How we let it get like this I don't know
But that nigga can't save your soul, nah
Doing me dirty, you doing me dirty
Haven't a nigga heard from you
How can you live with yourself
Haven't even heard from you
How can you live with yourself
Ungrateful, ungrateful
Your momma be ashamed of you
I haven't even heard from you, not a single word from you
Ungrateful
I'm too good for you, too good for you
You should go back to a perfect match for you, unstable
Doing me dirty (dirty, dirty)
You're making me nervous
I haven't even heard from you
You look drained, you look exhausted
Girl them late nights ain't good for you
Really starting to show on you
Don't hit me up when it's good for you
Ungrateful

Hmm..thoughts?

Oh and there's more....

Drizzy name drops Chris Brown's ex-girlfriend Karrueche in "Live From The Gutter" rapping,"This for my niggas on that bullshit and that nonsense/This for my dawgs that go Karrueche with the chopsticks"

And Future makes a reference to his break up with his baby mama Ciara on "Live From The Gutter" rapping, "I know them tears still falling down on my last bitch"

He adds,

"I watched my broad give up on me like I’m average/I went back inside the attic count it up and started laughing, ha/I went back inside the attic count it up and started laughing, ha"

Lordt!

Below is the full tracklisting:

And you can cop the mixtape now on iTunes.

Who is the belle of the ball?  It's Viola Davis.  Last night, Viola cemented her name in Hollywood when she became the first Black actress to ever win a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.  We're sure everyone wanted to sit at HER table.

Actor, comedian and producer J.B. Smoove looked pretty "smooth" and dapper to us as he stepped out with wife Shahidah Omar.

Yassss werk Niecy Nash!  Niecy, who stopped traffic in her custom Mark Zunino gown, was nominated for her work on HBO's "Getting On" as Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy. She didn't take the award, but she's a winner to us.

Queen Latifah is WEARING that fedora!  The Queen was also an Emmy-winner last night.  The HBO biopic she produced, Bessie, took home the award for Outstanding Television Movie.

We spotted the lovely Anika Noni Rose on the red carpet in a multi-colored gown. She's recently joined the cast of the A&E's remake of Roots.

"The Strain" actor Jamie Hector was spotted making rounds.  Jamie also played "Drifty" on Power last year.

Former "OITNB" star Lorraine Toussaint shined in silver.

Once again, the BEST dressed man of the evening was David Oyelowo in a sleek Dolce & Gabbana suit with an arrow lapel pin. He posed with his wife Jessica.

Kerry Washington came through in her Marc Jacobs gown, looking radiant. 

While Viola made history last night, we also have to give it up to 2014 nominee Laverne Cox who was the belle of the ball from a fashion sense. Laverne wore a custom Calvin Klein Collection gown designed by Francisco Costa, Fred Leighton jewels and Stuart Weitzman shoes.

After the HBO party, Lavern headed to Chateau Marmont where she joined fellow OITNB castmembers Danielle Brooks, Taylor Schilling and Yael Stone to celebrate Uzo Aduba's win.  See those party pics here.

At The 67th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards Governors Ball at the Los Angeles Convention Center.....

Comedian Tracy Morgan made a triumphant return to Hollywood last night where he thanked his fans and supporters for their love.

Tisha Campbell Martin returns with the visuals for her new single “Steel Here.” Meanwhile, singer Tweet just released a new track titled “Won’t Hurt Me Again" and Tyga has a new video for his track "$candal." Peep the videos and new single inside….

“Real Husbands of Hollywood” star Tisha Campbell Martin released her new B.Slade-produced single “Steel Here” a few months ago. And now she’s back with the video treatment.

Directed by Viktorija Pashuta, the new video treatment brings a powerful message of overcoming obstacles in life. Tisha had this to say (via press release) about the video, “The song “Steel Here” was important to release as my first single and video because it represents a message that all of us can overcome our struggles in life and should forgive ourselves as we move forward into our new light and the life that has truly been planned for us.”

We learn the tragic news that Tisha was raped at the age of 3-years-old. The man who violated her sent her a letter apologizing for his actions, which allowed the YBF chick to find forgiveness and a newfound freedom in her life. Via press release, it is this letter that is painted on her body in the video. Wow.

Tisha added, "Steel is one of the strongest metals on earth and it represents the strength we need to continue on our personal journeys. I appreciate the challenges I have had in life and as I tap on my chest covering my heart, I’m happy to say 'I’m Steel Here.'" Awesome message.

Check out the video below:

She will also be bringing a new LP soon with the help of producer B. Slade. Stay tuned for that.

In new music....

Tisha Campbell Martin isn’t the only one returning to the music scene. R&B songbird Tweet is ready to hop back in the spotlight as well.

The songstress just released a new track titled “Won’t Hurt Me,”  the first single from her upcoming LP titled Charlene (which is her first name). We can expect Tweet's new album to be released in early 2016. In the meantime, check out her new single below:
 

We feelin' it?

In another new video....

Tyga is back with new visuals for his track “$candal,” which is a cut from his latest mixtape Fuk Wat They Talkin Bout. On his latest video treatment, T-Raww claps back at the media for the “rumors” that have had him heavy in the headlines…specifically his relationship with his younger (but now legal) girlfriend Kylie Jenner. Check it above.

Well…it looks like one of Rick Ross’ associates has gotten him involved in some ish. And now a woman is SUING him for allegedly being drugged and raped. Meanwhile, Rozay’s possible mother-in-law is speaking out on her future son-in-law’s bedroom antics. And she has an interesting take on the matter. More inside….

When you make a track about drugging a female and having sex with her unbeknownst to her, you better get lawyered up because clearly someone will take your word for it…whether it’s true or not.

Case in point: An anonymous woman has a filed a lawsuit against MMG honcho Rick Ross alleging that one of his associates drugged her, rapped her….and she “ain’t even know it” during GRAMMY weekend back in February.

Here’s what TMZ is reporting:

The woman -- who is ID'd as Jane Doe in the lawsuit -- claims she was at the W Hotel in L.A. where she met up with Rick and his entourage, who had invited her to go to Cannabis Cup ... a weed convention.
She says she got in the van with Rick, a guy named Thaddeus "Black" James, a DJ, 3 security guards and the driver. She says she was offered a glass of booze and shortly thereafter became dizzy and eventually passed out.

She says the next thing she knew, 2 hours had passed and she was in the van with Black.

The woman says she went back to Black's hotel room and passed out again. She woke up at 8 AM, examined herself and realized her clothes had been removed and she had been sexually assaulted.

The woman believes Black is the one who raped her.

Yikes! So why is she suing Rozay? Well she feels since the guy who allegedly violated her is Rozay’s agent and it supposedly happened on his van, she wants him to pay up too. Sighs...this all could be so easily avoided if rappers would just leave the "groupies" alone.

In other Rozay news....

We told you Rick Ross might have popped the question to his girlfriend Lira Galore a few days ago. Chick didn’t waste any time to spread the word to the masses on her social media accounts. Yet, Ross still hasn’t confirmed or denied the news yet. But, Lira’s mother (above) seems super excited about the news letting one “fan” know that even IF the Bawse is cheating on her daughter, her baby is still winning. Oh?

On Instagram, Lira's mom happily posted:

In the comments, a follower responded to her post saying, "But he still f*ckin' my gf from Philly smh #fact guard your heart girl."

Yikes!

Well, Momma Galore quickly clapped back,"lmfao he a celebrity of course that's to be expected! Tf! U think we don't know that? As long as ya home girl getting wet a** while my baby getting diamonds, his heart & treated like a queen in his palace then who winning tho boo? Where ur friends diamonds at?"

Umm...thoughts?

Season 3 of “Being Mary Jane” is right around the corner. And we have the first look at the new drama filled season. Check it out inside and peep flicks of Keke Palmer posing it up for W magazine inside….

“Being Mary Jane” fans get excited! We’ve got the first sneak peek at the upcoming third season and it’s filled with the drama we’ve come to love about the show.

In the third season first look, we get to see what happens to Mary Jane after her car accident that left us on the edge of our seats for the season two finale. In her personal life, the sexual secret between her on-again/off-again boyfriend Lance and her best friend Lisa comes out and she wants absolutely NOTHING to do with them.

In her work life, she’s forced to take leave from her news-anchoring job to heal after her accident. Meanwhile, a young Latina woman takes her place while she recovers that will cause some drama when Mary Jane is ready to come back to work. Does she still have a job?

Also, the other woman involved in the car crash with Mary Jane, a bookstore owner named Cecilia (played by Loretta Devine), seems to be looking for a huge come up after it’s seemingly determined the crash was Mary Jane’s fault. Chick is trying to get paid!

Peep the trailer below:

"BMJ" season 3 two-hour premiere is set to air on Tuesday, October 20th at 9pm ET on BET. New episodes will air on Tuesdays at 10pm ET after premiere week.

On the magazine circuit...

“Scream Queens” starlet Keke Palmer (rocking a Max Mara sweater and dress) is gracing the pages of W magazine’s newest issue. Inside, the 22-year-old actress dishes on her super busy life and how she handles the pressure with juggling so many projects at once.

The YBF chick has plenty on her plate with a brand new tv series set to premiere soon, working on her sophomore album and coming up with ideas for another season of her talk show "Just Keke." But...it's nothing she can’t handle.

Below are the highlights:

On being super busy these days:
“I don’t really have time for myself. My work is my life,” Keke says. “I’ve worked so much that I don’t know the difference between my personal life and my work, or my personal friends and my work friends.”

On using meditation to keep her mind in shape:

“I’ve done a lot of meditation studying on my own, but I’ve also taken a couple of transcendence classes,” Keke says, talking a mile a minute with a Midwest accent, a testament to her childhood in Illinois. “I do twenty minutes [of meditation] in the morning and twenty minutes in the afternoon. It clears my mind and allows me to be ready for the next thing, without getting so compact that my mind goes into overload.”

On what it was like to star on Broadway:
“Broadway was life changing because it pushes you mentally, physically, emotionally—every way that you can be pushed,” she says. “It makes you feel like there’s nothing you can’t do. It’s like doing your own stunts.”

You can check out the rest of her interview here.
 

“Scream Queens” premieres September 22nd on FOX.

NBA MVP Stephen Curry stopped by The Late Show to play a few games and promote the new #NBA2k16 while his wife Ayesha and daughter Curry shared a few fun home videos. See them inside....

Last night, NBA MVP Stephen Curry appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert where the two settled a very important issue:  Who should come up first in the Google search?! 

Because Mr. Colbert can't play basketball, the two settled their "difference" by taking it back to their college days and seeing who could do their laundry the fastest.  It was Stephen vs. Stephen in the GOOGLE game of life.... 

Watch the video above to see who won....

After the show.....

Mr. Curry's trip to NYC served a twofold purpose.  In addition to appearing on The Late Show, he was in town to promote his latest video game venture #NBA2k16.  Following the show (where he touted the game) he headed over to the launch party where he posed with game designer Ronnie Singh.

Before Stephen booked it to NYC (Ayesha made the trip) to making bank for the family, the Curry ladies were up to their adorable antics.  First, Ayesha (shown above with her Kate Spade clutch) paid homage to classic SNL character Mary Catherine Gallagher with a reenactment of a scene from "Superstar."  Of course....Riley joined in.
