Sevyn Streeter was tapped to perform the national anthem at the 76ers game last night. But, the organization pulled the plug after they saw her wearing a “We Matter” t-shirt. Get all of the deets, plus peep pics of Waka Flocka raiding a grocery store to give back to the community inside….

R&B singer Sevyn Streeter was scheduled to hit the court to sing the National Anthem for the Philadelphia 76ers season opener game against OKC last night. Right before she was about to go out on the court her performance was pulled because she was wearing a jersey that had “We Matter” written across the front.

Once she was told she would no longer be performing, Sevyn didn’t waste any time to share with her fans what happened. In an Instagram post, she said, "I’m at the 76ers game to sing the National Anthem and the organization is telling me I can’t because I’m wearing a ‘We Matter’ jersey.”

 

 

The "Come On Over" singer spoke with HOT 97 this morning to address the situation. She said:

“Listen, that organization flat out told me I could not wear my shirt while wearing my shirt at that game… I never had to get any kind of wardrobe approved, so I went about that the way I go about any of my other shows.”

Sevyn said they offered her to wear a 76ers jersey, but she refused. “It was important for me to express all the injustice that goes on in our country,” she said.“I’m not only saying only our lives are important. It just seems like our lives are way more disposable.”

Take a listen below:

The “It Won’t Stop” singer said no one from the organization has reached out to her since she posted the IG video. However, they did release a statement addressing the situation.

“The Philadelphia 76ers organization encourages meaningful actions to drive social change. We use our games to bring people together, to build trust and to strengthen our communities. As we move from symbolic gestures to action, we will continue to leverage our platform to positively impact our community.”

Since when is stating 'we matter' NOT a positive gesture?

Thoughts?

Speaking of NBA games...

Waka Flocka jumped into action yesterday to give back the community. The Atlanta rapper made his way to the grocery store in Clayton County, GA and filled up several baskets with food to hand out to those less fortunate.

Looks like he’s getting a jumpstart on Thanksgiving.

Nice! It's one thing to give money to organizations, but it's extra special when celebs actually go out and do the work. Good job Waka!

The annual CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund show lit up the west coast last night as fashion designers -- 10 fnalists to be exact -- showed off their new collections in a fashion show orchestrated by Vogue.  Folks like Rihanna's bestie Adam Selman are competing for the top prize of $400,000 with the winner to be announced next month.

In the meantime, the show, hosted by Kate Spade New York’s Deborah Lloyd, actress Emma Stone and more, took center stage at Chateau Marmont as celebs and fellow designers showed up to soak it all in.

There are rumors that Mariah Carey and James Packer have called off their engagement. But, Mariah’s rep is speaking out on the status of their relationship and say they haven’t quite called it quits just yet. Get the latest inside…

Have Mariah Carey and James Packer called off their engagement? Not quite. At least that’s what her rep is saying.

The Grammy Award singer’s rep tells Entertainment Tonight that the couple had a huge argument while vacationing on a yacht in Greece last month and that she hasn’t seen him since. In the shot above, the couple was all smiles while on vacay in Mykonos with Mimi’s twins Roe and Roc in September.

The rep confirms their fight didn’t have anything to do with either of them cheating or Mariah’s alleged extensive spending.

“The fight was not because of any cheating allegations or excessive spending by Mariah,” the rep confirmed.

According to TMZ, James did "something really bad" involving one of her assistants. A source close to Mimi revealed after the fight, Mariah hopped off the yacht and returned to L.A.

As of now, it’s unclear if they will stay together since they’re currently working through their issues.

“They are trying to work it out. Right now, they’re not sure if they will stay together,” said Mariah’s rep.

 photo mchalloween.jpg

ET reported the twosome, who started dating in June 2015, will release an official statement after they decide what they’re going to do.

You’ll recall, James popped the question to the Elusive Chanteuse singer gifting her a 35-carat diamond ring in January 2016.

During Mariah’s Halloween party last weekend, she was still rocking her engagement ring as she celebrated with her ex-husband Nick Cannon and their twins.

We assume their relationship status is in limbo until they figure this ish out.

Nick Young Shares First Photo Of His Baby Girl With Ex-Keonna Green & Reveals Her Name

It’s a girl for NBA baller Nick Young and his ex Keonna Green!  And he almost missed the delivery. Peep the first photo of their daughter, plus what they named her inside...

Congrats are in order for Los Angeles Lakers baller Nick Young and his ex-girlfriend Keonna Green. The former couple welcomed their 2nd child together yesterday (October 27th).

The two-time parents were gifted a precious baby girl to join their 4-year-old son Nick Young Jr. 

After hitting the court at the Staples Center on Wednesday (Oct. 26th), the NBA baller rushed to the hospital for the birth of his baby girl. Luckily, he made it on time:

He took to his Instagram today to share a sneak peek at his new bundle of joy:

 

They named her Navi Young

By the way, the Lakers beat the Houston Rockets 120-114, so Nick had more than one reason to celebrate.

While the two are no longer an item, they’ve found a happy medium to co-parent their children together. They get along so well that Nick got Keonna pregnant while he was engaged to his former fiancée Iggy Azalea.  Hmph.

You’ll recall, Nick and Iggy called it quits after the Australian rapper found out online he had impregnated Keonna while they were still together. As of now, Iggy hasn’t said anything about Nick’s new bundle of joy.

With their new baby’s arrival, it still doesn’t mean they will get back together. Nick has seemingly moved on to singer Paloma Ford.

We're sure Nick Jr. is super excited to be a big brother.

Congrats to the couple!

Unless this is for a video or a movie, now there's no more discussion about whether these two have officially tied the knot.

Yeah....definitely one of our fave YBF Families these days.

Trick Daddy Is MAD Folks Are Coming For Him After Bashing Black Women + Blac Chyna BLASTS Pilot Jones + Jackie Christie’s Daughter Addresses Son's GoFundMe

Celebs are speaking out! Trick Daddy is mad that folks are after him for his Instagram video bashing black women. Blac Chyna blasts singer Pilot Jones over leaked pics of them kissing. And Jackie Christie’s daughter Ta’kari is speaking out after her GoFundMe page for her injured son hit the headlines. More inside…

 photo trick.png

Rapper Trick Daddy had the Internet buzzing after he released a video bashing black women this week. In the clip, the Miami rapper served up an unsolicited PSA to black women, basically saying black women need to tighten up and that “these Spanish and white h*oes are gettin’ spiffy on y’all.” He then added, “They f**k around and learn how to fry chicken, [black women will be] useless.”

Of course, folks started dragging him over this foolishness. And some people started attacking him for having Lupus. That must have hit a nerve because now Trick is responding to the negative backlash.

In a Facebook post, he said his video wasn’t meant for the "real black women," only the self-proclaimed “b*tches and h*es.” He’s pissed people used his illness to condemn him, but then said he’s heartless. Umm....

Check it:

 photo tric1.jpg

 photo tric2.jpg

 photo tric3.jpg

Sir, you can’t be heartless and mad because folks are at your neck. Just sayin’…

Another celeb clapping back...

 photo trickchyna.jpg

Pictures of Blac Chyna kissing singer Pilot Jones recently surfaced online and rumors started swirling that he could be the potential father to her daughter, whom she’s currently pregnant with.

Well, Chyna wants everyone to know those pictures are OLD... over two years old. She said the reason she even took the photos was a scheme to make Pilot’s boyfriend jealous. Apparently, they were once friends. Sighs…

The reality star even offered up screenshots of a prenatal paternity test to prove Pilot is NOT the father of her unborn child. We’re not sure how she got his DNA for the test, but hey.

The “Rob & Chyna” star hopped on her Instagram account to set the record straight once and for all:

 photo trick4.png

 photo trick5.png

 photo trick6.png

 photo trick7.png

Damn.

 

Meanwhile, the LAPD's Threat Management Unit is investigating Chyna’s fiancé Rob Kardashian after he allegedly threatened Pilot Jones in a series of text messages, warning him to leave Chyna alone. TMZ reports:

Law enforcement sources tell us ... Rob allegedly physically threatened Pilot Jones, who's been hanging with Blac Chyna. We're told Rob threatened to do Pilot harm.

The allegations come on the heels of photos that surfaced showing Blac and Pilot making out.

We're told Pilot is scared, partly because of a string of text messages, which include Rob telling Pilot, "Leave my wife alone. I'm not playing with you."

Our law enforcement sources say, there are other texts in which Rob generally threatens Pilot with physical harm if he doesn't stay away from Blac Chyna, although as one source says, the threat is "a little murky and general."

Maybe Rob is about that life?

In other news...

 photo trick8.jpg

“Basketball Wives: L.A.” star Jackie Christie came under fire after her daughter Ta'kari created a GoFundMe page to help her with medical expenses for her son, Jaxson, who was badly burned in a daycare accident.

Apparently, Jackie and Ta’kari are so estranged Jackie hasn’t offered any help towards her grandson’s hospital bills. Ta’kari was seeking to raise at least $3,000 to help with his bills and to help pay for everyday life expenses since she can no longer work to be by his side.

FYI—Evelyn Lozada and Matt Barnes donated $3,000+ each.

Now, Ta’kari is speaking out to apologize to her mother for “embarrassing her” and also noted that Jackie hasn’t even met her 8-month-old son. It’s a pretty sad letter.

Read what she had to say above.

Lord, we wish they could just work this out OFF line.

The 76ers organization has offered up an apology to Sevyn Streeter after they pulled her National Anthem performance due to her wearing a “We Matter” jersey. Get the latest and find out what DJ Khaled named his son inside…

A few days ago, R&B singer Sevyn Streeter put the Philadelphia 76ers on BLAST after they pulled her National Anthem performance minutes before she was set to hit the court for the season opener game because she was wear a jersey with the words “We Matter” written across the front.

Right after the organization pulled her performance, she took to her Instagram page and said, “I’m at the 76ers game to sing the National Anthem and the organization is telling me I can’t because I’m wearing a ‘We Matter’ jersey.”

The next morning, she told HOT 97 she wore the jersey to express the injustice that foes on in our country and that she never was told to have her wardrobe approved beforehand.

The 76ers issued a statement shortly after the situation saying they use their games to bring people together and that they would continue to use their platform to positively impact the community. No real apology.

But now, they’re singing a different tune, likely due to the negative backlash they have received.

Today, they apologized to Sevyn and offered her an opportunity to sing the National Anthem at a game of her choice. The apology reads:

As of the time of this post, Sevyn has yet to respond to the offer. We wonder if she does decide to take them up on their offer, if they will request to see what she's wearing beforehand.

 

In baby fab news...

DJ Khaled welcomed his first born this week and he let his fans in on EVERY moment of the delivery. The SnapChat king had his phone out to document every minute of his son being brought into this world.

Now, he’s sharing what he and his fiancée Nicole named the young lion. Khaled’s son’s name is Asahd Khaled and he’s more than happy to be first time dad.

Today, the superproducer and his prince are bonding while watching television:

It doesn’t get any more New York than this! Hip Hop veterans and newbies commanded the Barclay Center’s stage with an epic line up of performances by Remy Ma, Fat Joe, Usher, Young M.A. and more. Peep pics and videos inside…

 

Ooouuu!

New York’s finest (new and throwbakc) rocked the Barclays Center’s stage Thursday night for Power 105’s annual Powerhouse concert.

While she didn’t make XXL’s 2016 Freshman Class, rapper Young M.A. has been making waves on the music scene with her breakout single “Ooouuu.” The Brooklyn native, rocking a Brooklyn Dodgers jersey, made her Barclays Center debut in her hometown, kicking off her set with tracks from her 2014 mixtape Sleep Walkin’. Then, she got the crowd hype with a performance of her hit track “Ooouuu.”

R&B singer Kehlani had everyone on their feet while singing her hit single "CRZY" (no typo):

 

 

 

Brooklyn native Desiigner was his usual hyper self, rocking the stage with a performance of his hit tracks "Panda" and "Timmy Turner." He took it up a notch, getting as close as he could to his fans during his performance:

 

Dude looks exhausted. He did also perform at Pace University's Fall concert yesterday.

 

Wiz Khalifa made sure to have "Mary Jane" by his side to assist him while he performed “Don’t Shoot,” We Dem Boyz," and “Gang Bang”

Bronx stand up! Remy Ma and Fat Joe joined forces on stage to tear the house down with their summer anthem "All The Way Up" and ran through several of their solo singles.

Atlanta rapper Jeezy trekked up to NYC to perform his hits "Go Crazy," 'I Love It" and "Lose My Mind" before bringing out Young M.A. for an encore performance of her track "Ooouuu."

 

 

For the grand finale...

R&B king Usher ran through his hits "Good Kisser," "Caught Up" and "U Don’t Have To Call" before bringing ATL rapper Young Thug on stage to assist him on their joint track "No Limit":

Usher also brought out Lil Jon for a special performance of their throwback hits "Lovers and Friends" and "Yeah."

Cardi B. stepped into Powerhouse Philly Friday night rocking a Gucci trench coat, the same trench rapper Dej Loaf rocked about a week ago.  Decide who rocked it best inside...

Before she took the stage to perform, rapper and "LAHH" star Cardi B walked into the Wells Fargo Center rocking the Gucci tropical trenchcoat off the SS16 collection.  She definitely cleans up well. The New York raptress rocked a major pony, nude pumps, and shades to top it all off.

About a week ago, rapper Dej Loaf rocked the same colorful trench while sightseeing around London.  She kept it casual sliding it over a plain green sweater, black pants and matching Gucci loafers.  We would expect nothing less from the Detroit chick.

Sasha Obama was spotted out and about in the D.C. streets Friday afternoon -- repping for the Notorious B.I.G. AND Hillary Clinton.  Get it all inside...

YBF Teen Sasha Obama is totally the little sister we wish we had.  She's clearly got good taste in music, keeps it casually cute at all times, and she's also With Her.  Even though she can't vote yet (she's only 15), she's still making it known whose team she's on. 

Z Burger in D.C. ran a campaign Friday where they gave free burgers to Hillary supporters who came to the counter and said "I'm with her."  Sasha is rarely spotted out and about, so it's quite possible she and her fam intended for folks to see the high school sophomore still doing her part.

EXTRAS:

1. It's finally happening.  President Obama was just announced as one of Bill Maher's upcoming guests on his HBO show "Real Time."  He's been begging to get POTUS on his show for over a year.  STORY

2. Rachel Dolezal is dropping a book March 2017 titled In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World.  Sigh.

3.  Kirk Franklin is pissed at the church for cutting off his speech on The Baptist Network about racial injustices.   STORY

Jermaine Jackson Jr. has a baby on the way with longtime girlfriend Asa Soltan Rahmati of "Shahs of Sunset."  Find out what they dished about their first bundle of joy plus Blac Chyna and her baby bump are killing JuJu On That Beat....

Another Jackson baby is on the way! 

Jermaine Jackson Jr., who actually played his famous dad Jermaine Jackson in the 1995 miniseries The Jacksons: An American Dream, is expecting his first child with long time girlfriend Asa Soltan.  Asa -- who calls herself the Persian Pop Priestess -- revealed the news saying:

My beautiful lovers, I'm so excited to finally share with you that my Beloved soulmate Jermaine and I are expecting our first baby. We are 6 months pregnant. :)))))))). This has been the happiest news of our lives and we are beyond excited and grateful. Some of you know about our relationship and others do not as we are deeply private with our relationship. I wanted to share with you all this beautiful news. Can you lovers guess boy or girl ?! We will find out soon.

She's one of our faves on Bravo's hit reality show "Shahs of Sunset," and we've seen her keep her relationship mostly under wraps with a quick mention every now and then about her longtime love. 

 

She's already in pretty tight with the fam:

 

LaToya also was front and center at Asa's kaftan collection launch.  We wonder if Janet's baby and Jermaine Jr.'s will be besties.

 

Speaking of baby bumps, Blac Chyna made a super adorable video, complete with 9 months pregnant baby bump, King and JuJu On That Beat:

By the way, she revealed she's gained 72 lbs total, and she couldn't be happier about it.  Anything to get that baby moving on out.  Baby girl Kardashian is due in about two weeks!

Gilbert Arenas Sold His Multi-Million Dollar Mansion. Now He Can 'Afford' His Kids' Tuition!

After claiming that he was too broke to pay his children's tuition, Gilbert Arenas just freed up some money, thanks to his multi million dollar mansion.  Deets inside....

Last week, former NBA baller Gilbert Arenas told the courts that he wouldn't be able to afford his kids' private school tuition.  Despite receiving well over $100M over the last eight years, he says now that he's received his last check from the contract, he "can't afford" tuition.

Interesting, since he posted this slight -- with tons of "hidden" cash -- at his babies' mother Laura Govan right after:

 

Could this be another 50 Cent-like situation where he's claiming broke, despite having money stashed elsewhere, in order to avoid giving money to his ex?  That's what he pretty much said...

He may not realize savings counts with the judge too when determining what you owe in child support.

Fast forward to this weekend when Gilbert closed a deal on his mansion.  He sold the Calabasas estate for $3.35M.  he purchased it in 2013 for $2.75M.  So he's now made about $600K cash to help his nonexistent struggle.  Good for him.

Gilbert says he now lives in a nearby apartment....

Soulja Boy Pops Back At Lil Yachty's Lawsuit, Gets Into Ridiculous Ish With KeKe Palmer, India Love & Bow Wow

Soulja Boy has been causing all types of drama this weekend, and now it's landed him in a boiling lawsuit over a death threat he sent.  Plus, this mess with KeKe Palmer, India Love andthis video shoot with Bow Wow is all pure foolery...

Ever since Soulja Boy announced he "quit" LAHH, he's been on one. 

Recently he went on Instagram and recorded a video where he whipped out a gun -- that he now claims was a fake -- and said, "I'll kill yo bitch ass."  Skrill Dilly, an artist/writer who has previously worked with Soulja, says the "Superman" rapper was talking to him, and that death threat is now ruining his life.

TMZ reports:

In his lawsuit, Skrill says Soulja actually put a $10,000 bounty on his head. Worst of all, he says his baby mama is refusing to let him near their daughter ... fearing the little girl will get caught in the crossfire.

Skrill says the stress and fear of Soulja gunning for him triggered some medical issues. He was not specific. He's suing for damages and cash to cover his medical expenses.

Folks started going in on Skrilla for filing a lawsuit, and he responded:

 

Soulja said he's releasing a diss track and called him a b*tch for the lawsuit:

Chile...

 

In other news, after telling the world he's dating former "BBW: LA" star Brittish Williams, Soulja Boy suddenly switched it up and started posting plenty of pics of Instagram model and "The Westbrooks" star India Love.  He started throwing disses at up and coming rapper to the scene Lil Yachty, claiming that Yachty is lying about being with Inida, because he's smashed India Love himself.

Soulja was going off about everything he's allegedly done with her and then started beefing with Yachty over her:

After Yachty threatened Soulja Boy to tell him he doesn't have time for no beef everybody seemed to fall back. Then Soulja claimed...you guessed it...that he was HACKED. And he blamed it on an ex. Nia Riley was definitely popping into the Twitter convos throughout the drama.

That may be why KeKe Palmer, Nia's friend, popped into the convo as well to defend her friend who was just played out by Soulja last week.  Soulja attempted to drag KeKe too, posting their DM convo and threatening her about posting the boat emoji:

Meanwhile, Soulja is also working on a new project with Bow Wow.  And yes, it's as "Really dude?" worthy as you would think.  As for what the two have been up to, it's an "album" called Ignorant Sh*t.  Never seen a more perfect description:

Golden State Warriors baller Draymond Green is about to become a dad!  The 2015 NBA champ and long time girlfriend and college sweetheart Jelissa Hardy are expecting, and we've got the pics from Jelissa's baby shower inside...

Fab WAG Jelissa Hardy is set to give birth to her and Draymond Green's first child together soon because she's about 8 months pregnant.  

Her adorable baby shower was Sunday at the Claremont Club & Spa inside the Fairmont Hotel in Berkeley, CA.

Jelissa is a former model who played basketball in high school and she keeps it lowkey on social media.  She does have a daughter from a previous relationship that she had when she was 20.  We're told Draymond treats her like his own:

Jelissa was spotted posing in pics with Draymond and the NBA trophy after the team's 2015 win, and she also hit the Kids Choice Awards with him last year.

Looks like they've moved on from Draymond DM'ing someone his penis this summer, and the pic ending up on his public Snapchat story.

NBA Finals MVP LeBron James went all out this Halloween! For his 2nd annual Halloween bash, the Cleveland Cavaliers baller got dressed up as “Martin” character “Jerome” and his wife Savannah James was the female version of the Joker.

Cavs guard Dahntay Jones nailed his Pharaoh costume and his wife Valeisha Butterfield Jones came dressed as Queen Hatshepsut.

Cleveland Cavaliers’ scout Brandon Weems showed up for the festivities as O.J. Simpson in a USC uniform and his signature afro (and we spy those gloves too). Of course, folks always find a reason to be mad about something. Bron's comment section is riddled with complaints that he would post his friend dressed as OJ due to his sketchy past.

Cavs baller Iman Shumpert pulled off his Joker costume and so did his fiancée Teyana Tyalor dressed as Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad.

Cavs shooting guard Jordan McRae and his lady nailed "Family Matters" characters Steve Urkel and Laura Winslow:

Tristan Thompson Tongues Down Khloe Kardashian At LeBron's Halloween Party After Bringing Her To Funeral & His Game + Khloe Goes Off About Interracial Relationships

Cavs baller Tristan Thompson is out in these streets heavy with new girlfriend Khloe Kardashian.  They've been putting their love -- and their tongues -- on front street all weekend.  Plus, find out what Khloe had to say about interracial relationships...

Tristan Thompson had new boo Khloe in Cleveland all weekend, and they were all over the place. The twosome hit up LeBron James' Halloween party last night and started tonguing each other down on the dance floor:

 

A video posted by WorldstarHipHop (@worldstar) on

We guess.... It looks like alleged rumors of LeBron telling Tristan to leave Khloe alone and not bring her around may have been false, because she was surely all up in the party AND courtside at their game this weekend (Khloe pictured atop at the arena):

 

Before the game, Tristan attended funeral. Some reports state the funeral was for the mother of his agent. Either way, they seem to be close enough now that he's willing to bring her to such an intimate and personal setting.  Chick showed up camera ready too:

In other news, Khloe took on folks who may judge interracial relationships. While on her app this weekend, she read a letter from a fan who said she lives in the south and she and her boyfriend constantly get stares when they go out, and she doesn't understand why people still have an issue with interracial relationships.

Khloe offered up her expertise on the subject saying:

"Thank you Kelsey for talking about this important issue. I don’t support racism or discrimination of any kind and I especially don’t understand why some people are still against interracial relationships. Like who the F cares anymore?! It’s so crazy because we’re all human beings capable of love so why does skin color have anything to do with it?"

What Khloe failed to mention was that it may not always be the interracial relationship itself some people have an issue with. There could be other deeper issues some folks have, like how some black men purposely ignore the very women who have held them down when no one else would. Thoughts?
