Skin Whitening Advocate Dencia is demanding Lisa Raye take back comments she made about her skin whitening cream claiming that said comments is causing sales to decline. And if Lisa doesn’t cough up that retraction, Dencia is hurling a lawsuit. Exclusive deets inside…

Lisa Raye may be in hot water after comments she made about skin whitening advocate Dencia's product during a recent interview.

Here’s why the Nigerian popstar is mad…

LisaRaye stopped by V-103 for a radio interview with Big Tigger recently to promote her new movie Skinned where she’s making her directorial debut. The film is about exploring the culture of skin lighting/bleaching through chemical products. It premiered January 9th on TVOne.

During the radio chat, Lisa said she wanted to shine light on the TRAGIC skin whitening epidemic and went on to say that some of the over-the-counter products causes skin cancer. She name dropped a brand, calling it White-a-licious, but she may have be referring to Whitenicious.

She said, “With this over the counter drug, it causes skin cancer…But this product that’s on the market now, it’s called White-a-licious and they use this cream like lotion all over their body to bleach their skin to become lighter. Their knuckles and elbows stay the original color, so you’re looking at them, like, what did you do?”

Following her interview, Dencia got wind of her comments from a fan and lawyered up...fast. But before she called up her lawyers, she first hopped on Twitter to threaten LisaRaye with legal action, directly "@" her and tweeting:

  

 

Then, she called up her lawyers had them draw up an infringement letter and sent it to LisaRaye demanding a retraction!

In the document, Dencia claims LisaRaye’s comments have cause a reduction in her skin whitening cream sales. She’s demanding that Lisa make a video to retract her comments, giving her deadline of January 21st. Well, it’s the day after and we have not seen such video (not to say it isn’t out there).

Not only that, Dencia’s lawyers want a written response from LisaRaye confirming she received the letter.

Yikes. Let’s hope Lisa has her lawyers on speed dial.

Peep the interview that had Dencia in a tizzy below:

“Love & Hip Hop: New York” star Tara Wallace is good and pregnant with her third baby. And she’s showing off her growing baby bump in a brand new photoshoot that we exclusively got our hands on. Check out her new pregnancy shoot and the sex of her baby with Peter Gunz inside…

While some folks may have an issue with “LAHH: NY” star Tara Wallace getting pregnant again by Peter Gunz, who’s still married to co-star Amina Buddafly, she’s unbothered by the criticism.

Tara exclusively tells TheYBF.com she’s living in a no-judgment zone and has no regrets about having another child by Peter.

“Maya Angelou wrote ‘A woman always has the right to change her mind,’ and in that moment I changed mine!,” she tells TheYBF.com.I’m only obligated to be true to me and what I have created. I have always remained true to all that I have said and still don't judge myself in my journey!”

Well there you have it.

 photo BlueStroller3.jpg

In a brand new pregnancy shoot, the soon-to-be mom-of-three glams it up in a few different looks to celebrate the coming birth of her new bundle of joy. In one of the pictorials, the Jackson State University alum shows off her growing baby bump wearing nothing but a cognac cropped fur coat and bleached faded straight leg jeans. The vampy lip and long, curly tresses finished the look.

In a few lighter photos, the budding actress pushed a vintage baby carriage along in a colorful number with her baby bump on display:

She also rocked a silk floral lavender trimmed robe while cradling her belly:

Nice shoot.

 

As for the sex of the baby...

 

A video posted by TheYBF.com (@theybfdaily) on

 

Tara sat down for an interview on ESSENCE Live where she mistakenly reveals the sex of her baby, three days after revealing she was pregnant by Peter Gunz. Tara and Peter will be welcoming another baby boy who will join his big brothers Jamison and Kaz. This makes baby #9 for Peter who had his last child, a baby girl named Cori, with his wife Amina Buddafly in 2014.

While talking about her baby, Tara slips up and says “he,” mistakenly disclosing the sex. She announces she has a name picked out already, but we’ll have to wait a while before she gives it up. Peep the clip above.

Before next month's NAACP Image Awards, a few YBF folks were honored on Saturday at the Nominees' Luncheon at The Beverly Hilton Hotel.

The gorgeous nominee topped off her look with Stuart Weitzman heels and a flawless face.

Well, this is interesting. Lisa Wu had a birthday party last night....and Big Tigger was on her guest list. Check them out snapping pics together inside...

Last night at Varasano's Pizzeria in Atlanta, former "RHOA" and "Hollywood Divas" star Lisa Wu celebrated her b-day with friends and family.  Apparently, that includes V103 host Big Tigger.

Hmph.

Lisa's ex-husband Ed Hartwell and Tigger's ex-girlfriend Keshia Knight Pulliam recently announced their engagement and nuptials...all within the same month.

While folks are congratulating the twosome, some folks are wondering how and why it seemed to happen to fast.

Tigger seemingly threw a little shade a couple days ago when Keshia posted a pic from the wedding.  So the radio host snapping pics with birthday girl Lisa Wu is....interesting:

Ne-Yo also hopped in a pic with the birthday girl.  Sheree Whitfield was there to party too:

The Panthers just went all the way to the Superbowl.  And it's a really big deal for YBF QB Cam Newton and the whole team.  Find out why inside...

Since QBs like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning get unapologetically showered with praise, all while Cam Newton tends to get shade and hate from THEY (and we have a good idea as to why), we've got a few reasons why THEY should stop hating and start taking notes.

Sunday night, Cam Newton led the 17-1 Panthers to the SuperBowl after smashing the Cardinals and making it look like a cake walk.  Oh, and the squad looked like they had a BLAST while doing it:

 photo Screen Shot 2016-01-25 at 2.37.16 AM_zpsaogpwbmy.png

Before the whole team started dabbin' all over the sidelines toward the end of the game, they handed out plenty of game balls to the kiddies thanks to the nonstop TDs.  Thanks to good leadership from #1, the team (find out more about them HERE) looks good as a unit and it shows every weekend.

 photo Screen Shot 2016-01-25 at 2.37.42 AM_zpsrrzjj9tp.png   photo Screen Shot 2016-01-25 at 2.35.29 AM_zpsoggy58dk.png

Carolina is making history with their second NFC Championship in the team's existence.  Cam has also already been named the NFL's MVP by the Pro Football Writers of America.

 photo Screen Shot 2016-01-25 at 2.35.47 AM_zpsofotc6uc.png

Even Coach Ron Rivera is on his way to make history as only the second Latino NFL head coach to win the Superbowl.

 photo Screen Shot 2016-01-25 at 2.41.11 AM_zpsrtixvf2x.png

The Panthers even have celebs like Stephen Curry and Carolina native Fantasia fanning out on the 'Gram.

And then there's this:

Cam's sexy new PowerBeats commercial  Yes, he's mostly shirtless. 

Won't HE do it?!

The Panthers will duke it out against Peyton Manning and the Broncos at Super Bowl 50 on February 7th .

Stevie J & Joseline Hernandez Bring Hollywood To Atlanta For Spin-Off Premiere + Mimi Faust, Rasheeda & Kirk Frost & More Support

 photo jordans.jpg

Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez were all loved up on the carpet for their spin-off show’s premiere in Atlanta. Everything must be good in the Jordan household now. Peep pics of the Jordans, Mimi Faust, Rasheeda and Kirk Frost and more inside….

Last night in Atlanta, Joseline shocked us by looking better than she's ever looked:

 photo zones2.png

"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" stars Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez must have kissed and made up after she allegedly trashed his home in a jealous rage. You’ll recall, Stevie J told photogs that Joseline bleached his clothes and smashed items in his home after a studio session with Faith Evans and Kelly Price, totaling more than $65,000 in damages.

Well, it seems all of that is behind them now as they were all loved up on the carpet for their spin-off show “Stevie J & Joseline Go Hollywood” premiere last night:

 photo zones6.png

Mmhmm...likely a publicity stunt. Their spin-off show will document the couple's personal and professional lives as they embark on their new journey in L.A.

 photo zones3.png

For a more subdued look, The Puerto Rican princess slipped into a white mini dress with fringe detail paired with fishnet thigh-highs and black pumps.

 photo zones10.png

Stevie's son Dorian came out to suppot his pops and his step-mom. He will likely make a few cameos on the new spin-off show.

 photo zones5.png

Stevie J’s ex and Joseline's former enemy Mimi Faust was in the mix rocking a denim on denim look topped off with a fur vest. She too, will likely make a few appearances on the new show. Remember when we spotted Mimi with the Jordans a few months ago living up in L.A. like one, big blended family?

 photo zones9.png

 photo zones1.png

The Jordans' "LAHH: ATL" co-stars Rasheeda and Kirk Frost came out to show love.

 photo zones12.png

R&B songstress and former reality star Kelly Price, who has been working in the studio with Stevie J on some new music, popped up at the event to check out the new show.

 photo zones14.png

Momager Deb Antney flashed a smile on the carpet.

 photo zones13.png

"RHOA" star Kandi Burruss' assistant Don Juan hit the carpet before checking out the new show.

 photo zones11.png

We noticed Mimi was on the panel before the showing of the premiere episode. Another hint that she'll be on Stevie and Joseline's upcoming show.

Later, Stevie J grabbed the mic and put on a show for the audience.

OH?! Blac Chyna & POSSIBLY Rob Kardashian All HUGGED UP On The ‘Gram?

0

 photo robbc1.png

Well this is interesting. Blac Chyna has the internet in a tizzy after posting up a picture of what appears to be Rob Kardashian’s -- we're still confirming -- arm wrapped around her neck on the ‘gram. Are they dating? Let’s discuss inside…

Blac Chyna sure knows how to get her name in headlines.

After the Future tattoo fiasco, the video vixen is seemingly getting close to another celebrity. And this time…she’s getting cuddly with a Kardashian…Rob Kardashian to be exact. Supposedly.

This morning, Chyna hopped on her Instagram account to post a picture of a man’s heavily tattooed arm wrapped around her neck. She captioned the pic “The Beginning” with a four-leaf clover emoji. So who is the guy starting this “new beginning” with Tyga’s baby mama?

It appears to be Rob Kardashian…based on the ink. If you look at his arm in the Instagram post above and in the pictures we have below, it looks like it could possibly be his arm featured in the IG shot:

 photo RobertKardashianJrRobKardashianArrivingc7iewT3i14wl.jpg

We're not thoroughly convinced if Chyna's IG pic is real...just yet.

 photo RobertKardashianJrRobKardashianArrivingsEZOzDPuOkol.jpg

In these flicks, Rob was trekking it through LAX after returning from Florence to skip out on Kanye & Kim's wedding in 2014.

 photo RobertKardashianJrRobKardashianArrivingTOsHfXmr_Nkl.jpg

The four-leaf clover must have some type of special significance between the two because Chyna hopped in Rob's Instagram comments and left this behind: 

 photo robbc3.png

Mmhmm...We also notice Rob went on a "liking" spree on Chyna's Instagram account, liking many of her flicks.

And then this happened...

Rob's sister Khloe Kardashian hopped on Twitter (not long after Chyna's post) and made a comment about "family never going against family." (Y'all know the drama between Chyna/Amber and the Kardashians After Chyna's ex Tyga hooked up with her then bestie Kim Kardashian's little sister Kylie).  Folks began thinking she was firing off subliminals at her brother and Chyna, but she quickly cleared up the "misunderstood"  tweet saying (read from the bottom up):

Oh...and then there's this...

Soon after Chyna posted that lovey dovey pic, her bestie Amber Rose started following Scott Disick (Kourtney Kardashian's baby daddy who's currently single) and liking some of his pictures on Instagram. Hmph. What are Chyna and Amber up to?

Karma anyone?

Zendaya has a brand new music video where she's flexing her dancer skills. Meanwhile, Kanye West has put the final touches and finished up his album SWISH. Get it all inside...

Disney starlet and COVERGIRL ambassador Zendaya lends her vocals and stars in the music video for “Neverland,” her featured track from Broadway’s hit musical Finding Neverland. Finding Neverland The Album assembles an all-star lineup to interpret songs from the hit Broadway production and Daya was chosen to “remix” a song of her own.

In the Brad Furman-directed clip, the 19-year-old YBF chick shines through her dancer side, busting a few moves with her former “Dancing With The Stars” partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who also helped choreograph the routine.

“I am so excited to tell the story of Neverland through my own lens,” says Zendaya in a press release. “It was an honor to act alongside Bryan Cranston, and so great to reunite with Maks [Chmerkovskiy] and Ian [Eastwood], who both helped bring a cool and edgier vibe to the video through their choreography. I hope my fans are as inspired by Neverland as I was inspired by Finding Neverland on Broadway.”

Check out the “K.C. Undercover” star in action below:

If you're a avid Kanye West fan, you'll be happy to know SWISH is complete! 'Ye hopped on Twitter last night to reveal his upcoming album SWISH is finally complete.

He posted up what appears to be the tracklist (10 songs) for his upcoming studio album, the follow-up to his 2013 LP YEEZUS.

The "Bound 2" rapper has been working hard in the studio on his newest musical offering joining forces with Swizz Beatz, Kendrick Lamaar and his G.O.O.D. Music family.

The release date for SWISH is February 11th which just so happens to be during New York Fashion Week. So, as much of a fashionito as Kanye (thinks he) is, we can only expect something big happening to celebrate his new album. Another Yeezy collection perhaps? We shall see...

“The Real” co-hosts trekked it from Burank, California to Washington, D.C. for a one-on-one with none other than the First Lady of The United States Michelle Obama!

Talk show hosts Adrienne Bailon, Tamar Braxton, Loni Love, Jeannie Mai and Tamera Mowry Housley got the chance to sit down with FLOTUS inside the White House to chop it up about Mrs. Obama’s Reach Higher initiative and the Better Make Room campaign.

The Reach Higher initiative is FLOTUS’ effort to inspire every student in America to take charge of their future by completing their education past high school. Better Make Room is a public awareness campaign designed to celebrate education and inspire students to “make room” for college or other post-high school educational and training programs. So, the ladies of “The Real” asked her all about it, plus more.

Our gorgeous First Lady looked amazing in a black and white trimmed midi dress and merlot suede pumps.

Seated on a panel in the State Dining Room of the White House, First Lady Obama explained the importance of getting an education after high school and why she’s so adamant about helping all students reach higher education.

Secretary of Education John King also joined the panel to discuss the importance of higher education. Soon after, everyone received a special visit from the First Family’s dogs Bo and Sunny. Adorbs!

Check out what happened when FLOTUS revealed who did better in school -- her or her Presidential hubby.

The 27th Annual Producers Guild Of America Awards went down at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Century City, California over the weekend. And it brought out hottie Michael B. Jordan looking extra dapper in an all black tailored suit.

After attending the NAACP’s Image Awards Luncheon, “black•ish” star Anthony Anderson came out for another awards event.

Award-winning "TGIT"creator Shonda Rhimes hit the carpet before accepting the Producers Guild's Norman Lear Award for Achievement in Television.

 photo 27thAnnualProducersGuildAmericaAwardsz7ec_9qR9Ynl.jpg

During her acceptance speech, Shonda held nothing back saying:

"I'm going to be totally honest with you, I completely deserve this. I have against the odds, courageously pioneered the art of writing for people of color as if they were human beings. I’ve bravely gone around just casting parts for actors who were the best ones. I fearlessly faced down ABC when they completely agreed with me that Olivia Pope should be black. And I raised my sword heroically and then put it down again when Paul Lee never fought me about any of my storytelling choices.”

Tell 'em Shonda!

Check out what else she said about the Oscars' diversity drama below:

CREED star Michael B. Jordan presented the winner for the most-awaited Best Picture award.

There was a bit of a mix-up after Michael announced the winner. Reportedly, no one in the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza ballroom understood him the first time he announced the winner. (Or was everyone blinded by his fineness?)

He then read it again and the producers for the film The Big Short came up and accepted the award. Oops!

COUPLEDOM: Nelly & Waka Flocka Hit The Carpet With Their Women Before Drai's Nightclub Performances

Nelly and Waka Flocka had their women Shantel Jackson and Tammy Rivera on their arms before they hit the stage at Drai’s nightclub. Peep their pics inside…

Rapper/reality star Nelly jetted to Las Vegas for his first-ever performance at Drai LIVE nightclub over the weekend. Of course, he had his girlfriend Shantel Jackson on his arm for the festivities.

The happy couple made their way down the carpet, snapping it up with his nephew Lil Shawn and a friend who came out to party.

Then, Nelly and his fur trimmed coat hit the stage for a performance:

Yes, Nelly still bangs in the club.  Apparently.

Also hitting up Drai's....

 photo draisn2.png

Following Nelly’s performance, Atlanta rapper Waka Flocka Flame took over the stage at Drai’s Sunday night. He brought his pretty wife Tammy Rivera along for the fun. Those stockings...

 photo draisn7.png

Oh Waka....

 photo draisn8.png

Waka is not stranger to the Drai's stage, so he had the club rocking as he performed his lively rap hits.

 photo draisn10.png

In political news, Waka Flocka gave his two cents about Stacey Dash saying we should get rid of networks geared towards African-Americans like BET. And guess what? He agrees with her. In a video clip, he admitted,

“But honestly, I always felt like that. Like why the f*ck we got BET? BET is for black people and MTV is for white people? Think about it. Why the f*ck we got Black History Month only in February? How can the people that took our history, give us our history for one month? Just think about it.”

Check it:

He must not realize all black artists aren't "welcomed" into the mainstream fold and given overseas and MTV play like he is, for whatever reason. 

Thoughts?

 photo originals1.png

Looks like the ladies have let bygones be bygones and are having fun living it up for Kenya’s birthday celebration.

NeNe posted the group shot on her IG account and gave Kenya a birthday shout out, saying, "A little Birthday Fun for Kenya Moore! #theoriginals #theunforgettables #slay @shereewhitfield @thekenyamoore @cynthiabailey10 #happybirthdayTwirl" Well good for them.

Speaking of Kenya, it seemingly appears she may have found another new beau:

Yep, the guy from the gym on a recent episode.

The former USA pageant queen posted up a picture of fitness trainer Matt (above) whom she thanked for making her birthday extra special. She said, "#mcm @livefastfitness #meetmatt Thanks for a wonderful birthday" 

And on his IG:

Matt posted up this lovey dovey shot of them on a boat a few weeks ago with the caption, "Back from paradise! But I kept a piece for myself and brought her back to ATL with me." 

Oh.

Girlfriends Getaway starlet Garcelle Beauvais went on a family outing with her twin sons Jax and Jaid Nilon at the Farmers Market in Studio City recently. Her boys are getting so big!

We’ve seen Gracelle and her boys make their rounds at the Farmers Market on numerous occasions, so it must be a tradition in their household.

While roaming through the vendors, Garcelle was spotted having a taste test on some olives at a vendor’s stand. Cute. The next time we'll see Garcelle on the big screen will be in April when Barbershop 3 hits theaters.

FLEXIN': 75-Year-Old Aaron Neville Shares Thirst Trap Pic On His Birthday + LeBron James Shows Off His EXTRA Slim & Trim Body

The men are flexin' on the gram.  Aaron Neville shows us what 75 looks like (we had to pick our mouths up off the floor) and LeBron James' washboard abs are on and poppin'.  Get a dose of YB Fitness inside...

Legendary singer Aaron Neville turned 75 on Sunday.  And he celebrated with a workout session at the gym. 

Oh, and he followed the session with a thirst trap pic for the gram.

The New Orleans native has been pumping iron harder than most 30-year-olds we know, and it shows.

He shared the pic above that had us like daaaaaamn.  Work it out then Aaron!  This is 75 folks.

The R&B and Soul singer, who is one of the famous Neville Brothers, shared his outlook on life at the experienced age of 75.  Get his words of wisdom below:

Who would have thought --years ago-- that I'd still be alive?
God watched over me, kept me safe, and I made it to seventy five.

When I did things to hurt myself, God would make me whole. Each time He'd wipe away my transgressions and cleanse my soul. He held my hand through some deep, dark days, holding a lantern to light my way.

I remember praying from the bowels of hell and He picked me up every time I fell. Angels watched over me when I put my soul in hock. God was there to set me free. He had the key to that lock. He untangled the barbed wire that blocked my path. He pulled me from the streets' treacherous path.

Many who ran beside me ventured far and wide. We had different destinations. Some fell by the wayside.

There must be a reason for me to have survived, I guess someone up there likes me. I made it to seventy-five! Amen.

Happy birthday Aaron!

 

Also at the gym today:

We're not sure what diet The Cavs star has been on lately, but it's more than just those daily workouts and balling out at games.

LeBron is looking snatched in his newest shirtless fitness photo he shared on the 'Gram.

His washboard abs and extra lean physique were on full display.

We guess he's more focused than ever this year to bring home a championship to Ohio.  Do you Bron.

She may be several months pregnant, but you couldn't tell when Draya Michele showed up to her birthday party dressed like a fairy princess.  Chick definitely cleans up well and knows how to sell that innocence vibe.  Oh, and she's back to rocking her engagement ring after her supposed breakup.  Pics inside...

She's expecting her second child soon, and even though she and boyfriend Orlando Scandrick have seemingly broken up, Draya's not letting any of that block her birthday blessings.

The birthday girl hit up Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica last night in this wedding like ball gown skirt full of tulle and a long sleeve bodysuit.A look fit for a princess.  Her friends came out with balloons, cake, cupcakes and more:

A video posted by Draya Michele (@drayamichele) on

The reality star turned business lady clearly wants the world to see she's still got that ring on her finger.  She outright confirmed she and Orlando were done and she gave the ring back.  We also haven't seen the two of them together in several months.  But it looks like she's got that rock back in her possession.

Hopefully all her birthday wishes come true...

The Ratings Are In...."UnBreak My Heart" Biopic Raked In 3.6 Million Viewers

The ratings are in, and Toni Braxton's Lifetime biopic Unbreak My Heart was a success!  Get the deets, plus our observations, inside...

 

Whether or not it was the huge blizzard Jonas causing 90 million Americans to stay indoors on the night of the premiere that lead to these ratings on not, the Toni Braxton biopic was a hit!

Social media was on fire as newcomer Lex Scott Davis channeled Toni Braxton (and the Braxton sisters got their own eyebrow raising portrayals).  It all lead to 3.6 million Total Viewers, according to Nielsen Fast Cable Ratings.  Get it!

The movie was the most tweeted about program on television Saturday, with an 18% share of all Twitter TV activity.  And you already know what was taking up much of that activity: Those damn MEMES.

We're still left wondering why Lex's speaking voice didn't match Toni's singing voice.  Once we got past that, and the somewhat low-energy performance as Toni, we were here for ALL the rest of it.  Including how she nailed Toni's look. 

From the shade within the first 60 seconds about "Tamar always being flat," to Debbie Morgan coming for Angela Bassett's crown for the "Best Kick Your Cheating Ass Out" scene to that epic shade thrown at Towanda through the way they had Skye P. Marshall playing her....we loved every second.  The casting was on point too -- Papa Braxton, Babyface, Tamar Braxton....nailed it!

Overall, Lifetime didn't let us down.  Cheers to that!
