Keke Palmer has called off the lawyer dogs and has buried the hatchet with Trey Songz over a music video all the while promoting her new book. And when she stopped by Wendy Williams' show, she had to check the daytime talk show host. Hmph. Get it all inside…

Keke Palmer is hot on the promo trail to share tidbits about her newly released book, “I Don’t Belong To You: Quiet The Noise & Find Your Voice.”

With the book hitting bookshelves recently, the 23-year-old starlet stepped out for a meet-and-greet with fans at a book signing held at Barnes & Noble at The Grove in L.A. over the weekend.

So 90's with it.

As she continues her media rounds, Keke has been talking a lot about her feud with R&B singer Trey Songz. Apparently, Trigga used video of her in a video without her permission and Keekz wasn’t having it. She called him out on social media, which resulted in Trey editing her images out of the video. At one point, she even threatened to sue him, but it appears the two been able to hash things out and bury the hatchet.

The PIMP star stopped by the “Wendy Williams Show” recently and revealed to Wendy that the issue had been resolved behind-the-scenes. As Wendy probed her about why didn’t she just leave the party when she found out they were shooting a video she didn’t want to be in, Keke had to serve up some of Wendy’s own medicine with a savage clap back.

The “Scream Queens” star also opened up about her cousin who molested her as a child, how her parents feel about her risqué looks, Ice Cube schooling her on boys and more. Check it out below:

Gotta love it. 

 

Take a peek at some of Keke's lewks (no typo) that had everybdy talking as she trekking across the east coast recently, all  in our gallery below!

REUNITED! Here’s PROOF Scottie & Larsa Pippen Are ‘Working On Their Marriage’ + Kandi Burruss’ Daughter Riley Mends Fences With Her Father

Scottie and Larsa Pippen are giving their marriage another shot after the former NBA baller filed for divorce a few months ago. Get the latest on their reconciliation, plus Kandi Burruss’ daughter Riley Burruss making peace with her father inside…

 photo ScoL1.png

NBA Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen filed for divorce from his wife of 19 years Larsa Pippen back in October. But, it appears the couple will be giving their relationship another try as sources say the two are currently “working on their marriage.”

Maybe they both crunched some numbers -- especially Scottie -- and re-evaluated the repercussions of divorce.  Chile....

 photo scotl6.jpg

The couple, who share four kids together, were spotted all smiles at celeb hot spot The Nice Guy in West Hollywood on Monday night. And both of them posted up the same picture taken that night on their Instagram accounts where they’re sharing laughs with rapper/actor LL Cool J, reality star Kourtney Kardashian and WME partner and talent agent Richard Weitz.

 photo Scotl7.jpg

Sources tell Entertainment Tonight that although their divorce is still pending, the 51-year-old NBA star “never moved out” of their Miami mansion. The divorce filing came after police were called to their home TWICE in October.

Whatever issues they were having, it seems they have worked it out. At least for now. And like most Hollywood splits, nothing says “I’m sorry” like new jewelry:

 photo larsa2.jpg

Larsa shared a SnapChat video of her new 14-carat diamond ring that she called a Valentine’s Day gift. Cheaper to keep her? Possibly.

We assume Future is out of the picture now.  He HAS been hitting the clubs with one of his baby's mamas.

And here's a cute shot of Larsa having fun with her bestie Kim Kardashian West's daughter North West recently.

In other reconciliation news...

Kandi Burruss’ 14-year-old daughter Riley Burruss and her father Russell “Block” Spencer have kissed and made up. The new season of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” gave viewers a sneak peek into the drama between Riley’s mom and dad.

You’ll recall, Kandi blasted Block as a deadbeat dad on the show. The former Xscape member broke down into tears while talking about Block (who is a music producer) not being in Riley’s life. She called him the “poster boy for deadbeat dads.” She revealed he hadn’t been in Riley’s life like he should have and said he had gone years without checking up on her. Riley apparently built up a wall and doesn’t seem bothered with wanting to build a relationship with him.

Block responded to Kandi’s accusations reminding viewers that they shouldn’t believe everything that they see and said the show is scripted.

Well, they’ve all put that behind them now. Kandi and Riley had dinner with Block recently and he seems excited to rebuild a relationship with his daughter. He posted a picture after their dinner and Kandi reposted on her Instagram:

Well good for them.

CLUTCH YOUR PEARLS: Mike Bivins Had To CHECK HOT 97 Host Ebro Over Summer Jam 'BBD' SHADE

Now that New Edition is hot ish with the masses again, the guys are letting some things they’ve had on their chest. Mike Bivins had to call out HOT 97 radio host Ebro Darden during their interview for ignoring BBD’s attempts to perform at the annual Summer Jam concert. See it all go down inside…

New Edition has sparked new interest with a younger generation and took OG fans down memory lane with their 3-part biopic that aired on BET a few weeks ago. And, might we add, it was television GOLD for the network.

Right now, they’re one of the hottest topics in media. They’re EVERYWHERE. So, when New Edition members Mike Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe and Ricky Bell stopped by HOT 97 to promote thier new BBD album Three Stripes, they had some ish to get off their chests.

Mike called out HOT 97 program director/radio host Ebro Darden for not booking BBD to perform on the Summer Jam stage. Mike said he reached out to Ebro over the years and basically Ebro ignored him when it came time to talk about getting BBD on the stage.

Mike came with receipts too. He said every year during set transitions they would play BBD’s “Poison” and the crowd would go wild. So he wanted to know why was their track good enough to play in rotation, but they weren’t good enough to book a slot on the lineup. 

The fact Ebro said "But I made sure y'all got tickets tho", we can't even.

Catch Ebro’s reaction below:

Ha! Mike means business.

A Few Black Patriots Players Will NOT Attend White House After Super Bowl Win + NFL Champs Flex To New Edition At Parade

Two New England Patriots players will NOT be attending the White House ceremony following their Super Bowl win. Find out why inside (although we’re sure it's obvious) and check out a few of the champs flexing their dance moves to New Edition tunes inside….

The New England Patriots won their 5th Super Bowl ring on Sunday…and most of the football world collectively sighed.

Following the Super Bowl, it's tradition for the winning team to visit the White House to celebrate their victory. But, at least two black players have already announced they will NOT be attending. Why? Well, you know…Trump.

Patriots’ free safety Devin McCourty made it clear he’s not going to the White House to meet Donald Trump because he doesn’t feel accepted.

"I'm not going to the White House,” Devin McCourty told TIME via text message Monday. "Basic reason for me is I don't feel accepted in the White House. With the president having so many strong opinions and prejudices I believe certain people might feel accepted there while others won't."

Hmph.  Makes perfect sense to us.

 photo devonpats2.jpg

Devin made his announcement shortly after Patriots’ tight end Martellus Bennett said he will not be visiting the White House either. Martellus told reporters last week, (if they won) he wasn’t going to meet Trump.

"It is what it is," Martellus told the Dallas Morning News."People know how I feel about it."

Martellus has made it know in the past that he does NOT support Trump. What’s interesting, the guys’ teammate/quarterback Tom Brady, head coach Bill Belichick and owner Robert Kraft all happen to be good friends with Trump, so you KNOW they’ll be in the mix kissing a** shaking hands.

And since America tends to have a short memory, Tom Brady skipped going to the White House while Obama was President when the Patriots won in 2015.

We’d also like to note, Devin and Martellus joined 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick in his silent protest against violence during the regular season, raising their fists in support during the National Anthem before games.

Meanwhile, at the Patriots Parade today...

First, the New Edition biopic, now the Super Bowl. New England is winning right now. Peep the clip above of the guys busting some dance moves.

Below are a few pics of Mike at the parade and New Edition singer Ralph Tresvant decked out in his Patriots gear:

Former POTUS Barack Obama continues to live his post-White House life unbothered while on vacay.  Get into his kite-surfing skills inside...

Prez O is officially that ex who flosses all over Instagram showing just how much they're flourishing after the breakup.

But we can't even be mad.  The Obamas have been living life like it's golden on the British Virgin Islands with billionaire Sir Richard Branson since officially leaving office.  They've all been spending time on Richard's private Neckar Island, and now we see what they've been up to.

The Virgin airlines honcho posted the below video to show what happened when he challenged Mr. O to a kitesurfing vs foilboarding battle.  Don't sleep on the former President, he's got skills.

Check it:

 

This smile says it all.  It mainly says he's got no ****'s to give now that carrying the weight of the world is no longer his problem.

 

 

Whenever you get a break though, Barack, can you call and check on us? We're struggling under this new "supervision."  Please and thanks!

We already knew Beyonce is performing at the Grammys, but now we have details about her super secret performance. More inside…

Beyonce’s dad Mathew Knowles already spilled the beans, confirming that Mrs. Carter will be slaying the Grammy stage.

Now, there are a few deets about her performance.

As expected, the pregnant Grammy Award winner will be taking it easy for this performance. Sources tell TMZ Bey has been working hard at rehearsals and is changing the routine constantly. It’s said she won’t lock down the final set until Saturday night. Sounds like Bey to us.

The source revealed, “She'll [Beyonce] be taking it easier than normal." We didn’t expect to see her in full Sasha Fierce mode with her burgeoning belly.

Also, there are reportedly a few surprise cameos that will pop up during her performance. We wonder who….

Meanwhile, still no official word on what Bey will be doing for Coachella in April, but we hear she's locked in special guests for that as well.

Gabrielle Union does the best interviews. And her “Jimmy Kimmel” interview about her husband Dwyane Wade’s “Bad & Bojuee” ways and her “flat” booty had us cackling. Peep her appearance, plus flicks of Zoe Kravitz at the "Big Little Lies" premiere inside…

Gabrielle Union is back to work now that the new season of “Being Mary Jane” is in full swing.

 photo TERN2.png

Last night, the gorgeous YBF actress made an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” where she shared some hilarious details about her husband Dwyane Wade’s latest birthday bash. For this 35ht birthday, Gabby and friends celebrated with a “Bad & Bojuee” themed bash. Gotta love the Migos for that track.

 photo gabj1.png

 photo gabj2.png

Yes, Gabby paid the tab for the shindig, but she said she had absolutely nothing to do with the party planning. She said had she planned the party, it would have been something like a Earth, Wind and Fire type bash. Ha! It was funny how she described the age differences between her husband and all his Chicago Bulls teammates.

The 44-year-old starlet also talked about her own “deflategate” booty situation. Gabby covers the Women’s Health magazine’s March 2017 issue where she’s posing with her back to the camera showing off her ASSets. Nothing too raunchy.

Gabby said fans were in an uproar over the shot, accusing her of “letting the air out” of her butt.

“They were very disappointed that it was small and flat,” she said.

Sighs...Folks are so used to seeing these inflated booties that a real booty looks abnormal. 

 photo TERN3.jpg

She also talked about how she feels about her step-sons seeing her cover, being mistaken for “Moesha” (Brandy), her role on “Being Mary Jane” and more. Peep the clips below:

On the Hollywood scene...

Zoe Kravitz is gearing up to star in HBO’s dramedy “Big Little Lies.” And last night, the show premiered at TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

The ELLE magazine covergirl served up some leg action in a black off-the-shoulder Vera Wang mini paired with Sophia Webster sandals. Her platinum braids were pulled back in a low ponytail to finish her look.

In other YBF millennial news...

 photo marquisediss.png

50 Cent’s estranged son Marquise Jackson seems to be following in his dad’s footsteps. He’s a budding rapper, and recently dropped a new track titled “Different” that’s drumming up some drama. The track is featured on his upcoming mixtape titled Escape.

Rap heads were quick to label the song a diss track aimed at his pops since Marquise threw in this lyric: “Lost my pops, but he still alive.”

Now, the 20-year-old celebuspawn is clearing things up. He told TMZ the track wasn’t a diss at his father, it’s simply facts.

“This is not a diss to my father at all,” he explained. “I think they want it to be a diss. People are making it a diss because I guess they want it to be a diss. But it’s not. It’s what goes on in my life.”

It’s interesting, he dropped the track on the 14th anniversary of Fif’s debut album, Get Rich Or Die Tryin’.

“I feel like there’s no better way to introduce myself on the anniversary of Get Rich or Die Tryin’ to let people know,” he said. “This is me. This is what I’m doing. There’s nobody else behind this. This is not my father behind this. This is me.”

So would Marquise consider working on music with his dad? Not so much. "I don't know. His music hasn't been too good lately. I'm just being honest." Bloop!

Peep the clip and take a listen to his track "Different" below:

Jim Jones Jumps Ship To Roc Nation, Says 'We Can Move Past the BS' + Young M.A Is The Face Of FADER's Sex Issue, Here's Why

Jim Jones has officially jumped over to the Roc Nation team, and he's explaining why.  Deets inside on his new deal, plus why rapper Young M.A is the face of FADER's Sex Issue...

Jim Jones officially announced today that Roc Nation will handle all business endeavors on his behalf. Yep, he signed with the Roc for a management deal sanctioned by Jay Z, OG, and Ty Ty.

We're told Roc Nation will oversee all Jim Jones platforms including music, fashion, acting and more. Shocker?  Yup!

 photo Screen Shot 2017-02-08 at 1.19.23 PM_zpsqrd8ouzp.png

When the pic above hit the net last night, folks lost their ish.  There's a long standing beef between Dipset (which Jim Jones has been a part of for decades along with his homies - now frenemies - Cam'Ron and Juelz Santana) and Rocafella which has morphed into Roc Nation.  Sure, they were all once one big Roc-A-Fella family at different points in time, but both empires have had a volatile relationship since the 90's. Get that timeline HERE.

And so the saga continues.

Jim Jones chose to work with Roc Nation because, he says, it's a very family oriented organization.

“The fact that people are ready to forget the past and help me move fwd to the next step of my career is very inspiring,” said Jim Jones. “As you get older you realize that most of your peers are either dead or in jail.  The fact that we can move pass the BS is a testimony of how much we have grown.”

Wow.  So, there's that.  Congrats to Jimmy on the new deal!

In other rap news, The FADER announces its first-ever Sex Issue. The print issue hits newsstands March 7th and it made "Ooouuu" rapper Young M.A the cover chick.

It's an interesting move as she's mainstream rap's first openly gay artist.  And she holds nothing back when it comes to sexuality in her lyrics.

Here's the highlights.

Young M.A on being mainstream rap’s first openly gay artist:
“If I change people’s lives, that’s all that matters to me. I don’t want to be the first ‘dyke rapper,’ ‘aggressive rapper.’ I don’t care for that … I hear from all different people, not just people like me, or lesbians. It be straight people, it be grown men, it be grown women, people that have been sick or depressed that say, ‘Oh, you made me want to go do what I want to do for myself and chase my dreams.’ That’s my purpose.”
 
On criticisms about misogyny in her music:
“At the end of the day, men can be described the same way as men describe women. A man can be a ho, just as much as a woman can be a ho. And I’m a woman myself! I respect women. I respect my mother.”
 
On being gay in New York:  
“Life is too short. I need to just be myself, express myself. In New York City, it’s popular. I used to think to myself, Man, there’s a lot of gay people out here. And it had me comfortable, it was like, I can be myself! I used to still try to hide it, until it was really overwhelming — there were just too much girls attracted to me!”
 
On her next project:
“I know people are looking forward to an album from me, but I don’t think it needs to be rushed either. Nowadays albums don’t come out as frequent as they used to, so I’m not too sure if I’ma drop an album as soon as people would think. I’m just trying to go off a vibe: how they feeling this, how they feeling that?”

Drake On Donald Trump, “F*** That Man!” + George Lopez Catches Backlash After Calling A Black Woman A B*TCH Over Racist Joke

 photo DrakeLondon.jpg

Much to discuss! Drake went slam off on Donald Trump while on stage during his London performance. On another stage, comedian George Lopez spewed a racist joke about black people, which resulted in him calling a black woman a b*tch. Catch up inside….

Like the rest of us, Drake isn’t here for Donald Trump.

While on his “Boy Meets World” tour in London recently, Drizzy used his platform to speak out on America’s political issues, specifically the new president.

The Canadian rapper, who has properties in the U.S., declared that one man can NOT divide the world and that its up to us to stay unified and “fight the power,” so to speak.

"Every day I wake up, I see all this bullsh*t going in the world, people trying to tear us apart, people trying to make us turn against each other," he said. "So tonight, my proudest moment isn’t selling tickets or having people sing my songs. My proudest moment, if you take a look around at this room, you'll see people from all races and all places.”

He continued,

“I just want you to understand, if you think one man can tear this world apart, you're out of your motherf*cking mind. It's on us to keep this sh*t together. F*ck that man!”

YAS Drizzy. We so agree.

Peep the clip below:

No lies were told.

On another stage...

 photo georgejoke.jpg

Comedian George Lopez is causing controversy after his latest stand up show.

George went on a full out rant against a black woman after she reacted to his racist joke about black people during his show in Phoenix, Arizona on Saturday night.

“There are only two rules in the Latino family,” George told the audience. “Don’t marry somebody black, and don’t park in front of our house.”

While many people in the audience were laughing it up, a black woman didn’t find it funny, so she flipped him the bird. George saw it and went lethal.

"Sit your f*cking ass down or get the f*ck out. Sit your f*cking a** down,” he repeated three times. “I’m talking, b*tch. You paid to see a show. Sit you’re a** down. You can’t take a joke, you’re in the wrong motherf*cking place. Sit your f*cking ass down or get the f*ck out of here.”

Oh, and he wasn’t done there.

“You have two choices,” he continued. “Shut the f*ck up or get the f*ck out. I’ll tell you what. I’ll make the choice for you. Get the f*ck out of here. I’ll make the choice for you. Bye. Bye. Bye.”

Peep the clip below:

Per usual, folks flocked to Twitter to let George have it:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But, he doesn't seem fazed by it all. Here are his subliminal responses:

 

 

 

 

Sheesh.

Do y'all think George was wrong for the joke OR was the woman being overly sensitive?

Fresh from his hugestar-studded Super Bowl LI bash at his mansion, the Hip Hop mogul stepped out for a late night meal at celeb hotspot Catch in West Hollywood. The Bad Boy honcho was seen walking with his cane as he nurses his knee back to health after his third and final knee surgery last week.

His girlfriend Cassie was also spotted in L.A., but it's unclear if they were together:

Cassie, decked out in Gucci threads, made a quick stop at Serafina restaurant. She was all smiles as she made a beeline to a waiting vehicle trying to avoid getting wet from the rain.

We're sure the model/singer is on girlfriend duty as she helps her man during recovery.

Here’s a surprise.

We don’t see R&B crooner Miguel and his fiancée Nazanin Mandi out much. But, here they are enjoying a cutesy date night at The Doheny Room in West Hollywood, following Diddy’s Super Bowl bash. The longtime lovers were in the mix for the shindig.

No word yet on when these two will be heading down the aisle, but the Live By Night actor popped the question around this time last year. We wonder how the wedding planning is going.

We hear Miguel is working on a Spanish-language album. It's said he was inspired by his role in Ben Affleck's Live by Night movie to do the album.

Also at The Doheny Room last night…

She's in a good mood!

Former “The Real” co-host Tamar Braxton popped up on the scene in shiny purple knee high Christian Louboutins and a short hooded dress while chatting on her cellphone as she made her way inside the venue.

Once inside, this was the type of mood Tay Tay was in: 

 

Tonight.

Leave it to Chrissy Teigen to make light of a car accident…and tweet about it. She’s fine and her tweets about the ordeal are hilarious.

It was reported the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model was involved in a hit and run accident in Hollywood Tuesday evening (Feb. 7th). Police told E! News she was riding on the passenger’s side with the vehicle was hit, but was not injured. It was also noted that an arrest had been made on misdemeanor hit and run.

Once Chrissy’s fan got word of her hit and run, they took to Twitter to see if she was ok. And the jokes ensued.

Check it:

 

 

 

 

Ha! Glad she's OK!

In legal news...

Tyga has been hit with more lawsuits than a little bit and they just keep rolling in.

Remember when we showed you a video of the “Rack City” rapper being served on his 27th birthday as he made his way inside the club a few months ago? In case you missed, peep the video HERE.

Well, the process server who served him the lawsuit claims he was beat up by his entourage, so he’s firing off his own lawsuit.

In the suit, the server claims he was “grabbed, yanked, pulled and choked” by someone in Tyga’s camp and now he wants justice. If this guy is looking for a quick come up, good luck. It’s hard getting any money from the west coast rapper even when he owes.

Charles Oakley Gives His Side Of The Crazy Fight That Got Him Arrested At The Knicks Game

This foolishness that went down at the Knicks game Wednesday night though....

 

Former baller Charles Oakley just proved he's forever a Knick after his huge altercation that got him arrested.  Find out why folks are Team Oakley after he had an actual fight on the sidelines with multiple security and the Kicks team owner inside...

Wow. Former Knicks "bad boy" Charles Oakley is NOT here for Knicks owner James Dolan.

Remember the days when Charles "The Enforcer" and Patrick Ewing and co. ran New York (and arguably the NBA)?

The Knicks have been going through plenty of turmoil all season when it comes to ownership decisions, Phil Jackson's decisions, Carmelo Anthony drama and more.  Now, they can add sideline brawls to the list of this season's drama.

When the Knicks took on the Clippers at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night, Charles was seated behind Dolan.  Reportedly, Charles has been QUITE vocal all season (and possibly previous seasons) about his issues with how Dolan is running the struggling Knicks organization.  According to sources, Oakley was "yelling" at him that night from his seat.  And ish went all the way left.

A few people -- including security -- caught some hands, and Charles caught an arrest:

 

Fan Ian Schafer, who filmed one of the videos, said:

“[Charles] took off his watch and asked somebody to hold his watch.  It didn’t look like he started anything, to be honest. It looked like he was provoked in some way, because it didn’t look like there was any buildup to anything happening.”

Charles was dragged out the Garden, on the floor and everyting chile, and was taken down to the police station and reporedly charged with three count s of assault and criminal trespassing.

Now that he's out, he's giving his side:

"I was there for four minutes," Oakley told the New York Daily News, moments after being released from Midtown South Precinct shortly past midnight ET. "I didn't say anything to him. I swear on my mother. They came over and wanted to know why I was sitting there. I bought the ticket. I said why do you guys keep staring at me. Then they asked me to leave. And I said I'm not leaving." “I want to sit down to talk to him. I want me and him in a room. And lock the door,” Oakley said. “Lock that door. … I mean, he can have the police outside the door.”

#FREEOAK is still trending on Twitter.

The Knicks organization has issued a statement about the bruhaha saying:

"Charles Oakley came to the game tonight and behaved in a highly inappropriate and completely abusive manner. He has been ejected and is currently being arrested by the New York City Police Department. He was a great Knick and we hope he gets some help soon."

They're now catching backlash for their shade-filled comments.

 

 

Clippers star Blake Griffin said:"I stopped, and then there was an inbounds play on the side. I turned around just in time as he was handing it to him, and then there was a foul. I walked back to catch the third, fourth and fifth rounds."

 

Carmelo basically said his name is Bennet and he aint in it. He says he was on the opposite side of the court and didn't see ish.

Clippers coach Doc Rivers, who was a teammate of Oakley's in New York, said the whole situation was sad:

"That was sad. That was tough for me to watch. Honest to God, you could see it. I actually took three steps and I swear I was going to run down there and I thought, 'What the hell am I going to do?' But I didn’t like that. That’s my guy. That was tough to watch from where I was standing. "He’s the best teammate in the world. He really is. Honestly, the players could see me. That was a tough thing to watch. I’ve been in the league a long time I’ve never seen anything like that. I don’t know. I’m going to find out what’s going on. That was tough, that was tough to watch."

Even LeBron James weighed in:

 

 

Mood!! #Legend

How much of a dysfunctional mess is your organization when a pissed off former legend compelled to throw hands at the game?  Damn.

 

 

RACIAL PROFILING? Jason Derulo SLAMS American Airlines After Cops Were Called On Him + The Game Responds To Kicking Out Black Chicks At Super Bowl Party

Jason Derulo is pointing the finger at American Airlines for racial profiling after the police was called on him and his entourage at the airport. Find out what went down, plus why The Game kicked out a group of black girls from his Super Bowl party inside…

Looks like Jason Derulo is DEFINITELY taking his frequent flyer miles to another airline after an incident that resulted in the cops being called on him by American Airlines.

The R&B crooner claims he was racially profiled after an incident at Miami International Airport yesterday (February 8th). He hopped on Instagram to drag AA over racial discrimination due to a dispute over baggage fees. He wrote:

 

 

"I spent millions on your airline throughout the past ten years between myself and my entire staff but have still experienced racial discrimination today at miami airport!!! Called 15 police officers on me as if I'm a criminal! It's not ok that when you find out who I am the gears change! F--k that!! I want answers."

Jason also hopped on Periscope as the ordeal was going down. He said he and his friends were rushing to make a 5pm flight. He said he is a Concierge Key member of American Airlines and that allows him to bring unlimited bags on the plane. He tried to get 19 bags on the plane, but was turned down. So, one of the people in his entourage decided to stay to catch a later flight with the luggage. Jason and his crew hopped on the flight.

Come to find out, as a Concierge Key member you’re only allowed to check three free bags. An airline representative told Jason’s friend he was going to be charged $6,000 to check the bags. He called Jason before the plane took off and Jason tried to get off the flight, but it never happened. He reportedly got into an altercation with the pilot.

Once they landed, Jason said 15 cops were waiting for them when they got off the plane.

"I get off the plane, 15 police officers waiting on me, like I'm a criminal,” Jason said in the video. He said the pilot cursed him out as well.

The “Talk Dirty” singer said everyone’s demeanor changed once they realized he was Jason Derulo.

"If I was not who I was, if I wasn't Jason Derulo, I wouldn't be here right now I'd be in f--king cuffs," he said in the video. "It's 100 percent racial because the initial thought in people's minds is these hoodlums are causing problems.”

Peep the clip below:

American Airlines released a statement to Local 10 News to address the issue saying:

"Flight 275 returned to the gate prior to departure. A passenger elected to deplane in order to travel with their checked bags. The passenger has been rebooked with his checked bags on a later flight this evening."

TMZ photogs caught up with Jason at LAX early this morning (February 8th) and he's PISSED the pilot cursed him out. He said when he demanded to go back to the gate, the pilot hopped on the intercom and blamed the delay on him. Once they reached the gate he said the pilot yelled out, "I want these motherf*****s off my plane right now!" Sheesh!

Cray!

There was drama brewing at The Game’s Super Bowl party last weekend.

Apparently, the west coast rapper kicked out a group of black girls and they have been sounding off on social media claiming he kicked them out because they’re black.  One of the women said they were kicked out because they were "Dark meat," to be exact. They even called him a racist.

The “Hate It Or Love It” rapper told TMZ that’s NOT true. He said he kicked them out because they were not on his guest list. He said since he gave them some socks, pizza and drinks they should be grateful and not try and spin this as a racist incident. Really Game? Chicks should be grateful for socks?  Bruh.

Maybe the thirst for a rapper's company is just that real these days.

NEVER SCARED! Steph Curry Says He Isn’t Afraid To Leave Under Armour After CEO Backs Trump

Steph Curry is a stand up guy. He said he’s not afraid to leave Under Armour if their views don’t match up with his core values. Oh, he also fired off a shot at Donald Trump, dubbing him an “a**.” Details inside…

Golden State Warriors baller Steph Curry is putting his money where is mouth is. The Under Armour ambassador said he will unassociated himself with the company if the company’s leadership doesn’t line up with his core values.

Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank is a supporter of Donald Trump saying in an CNBC interview earlier this week, "To have such a pro-business president is something that is a real asset for the country."

The two-time reigning NBA MVP offered up a clever response to Under Armour’s CEO comments telling The Mercury News that he agreed with his comments, “if you remove the ‘et’ from asset.” Bloop!

Steph said he spent a whole day on the phone with folks over at Under Armour trying to understand what’s going on. He contined,

"I spent all day yesterday on the phone, with countless people at Under Armour, countless people in Kevin Plank's camp, my team, trying to understand what was going on and where everybody stood on the issue. Based off the release that KP sent out this morning and what he told me last night, that's the Under Armour that I know. That's the brand I know he's built and one that, as of Wednesday afternoon, is something that I'm standing on."

Steph is Under Armour’s most high-profile spokesperson where he’s paid $4 million annually. He also gets a stake in the shoe and apparel company through 2024. But, Steph is willing to risk it all.

"If there is a situation where I can look at myself in the mirror and say they don't have my best intentions, they don't have the right attitude about taking care of people," Curry said. "If I can say the leadership is not in line with my core values, then there is no amount of money, there is no platform I wouldn't jump off if it wasn't in line with who I am. So that's a decision I will make every single day when I wake up.

Later, Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank tried to clarify his comments, saying his comments were from a business point-of-view and not reflective of the company’s social stance.

After the Warriors' 123-92 win over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, the NBA superstar said he will not shy away from speaking out on issues he feels that need to be talked about.

"I rather not be in that position, obviously," Curry said. "But at the end of the day when you need to speak for yourself and make it known how you feel, you don't shy away from those opportunities in making sure that I need to say what I needed to say."

Mad props to Steph for taking a stand and looking at the bigger issue at hand.

Adrienne (Bailon) Houghton dropped some dating advice on how to find a lifelong partner. And it starts with reevaluating your “filters.” Find out what she means inside….

Adrienne Bailon became Mrs. Adrienne Houghton after tying the knot to her now husband Israel Houghton on November 11th in Paris. Now, she’s dropping a few gems on how to snag the man of your dreams.

YBF's Houston correspondents Desola Awofeso and Rebecca Guillory caught up with “The Real” co-host on the red carpet at the Maxim Super Bowl Party in Houston recently where she dropped some bomb dating advice.

As a single woman looking for a man, one often times put “filters” on what we’re looking for in a man: He has to be tall; He has to make a certain amount of money; He can’t have kids, to name a few.

Well, Adrienne said if you adjust your filters but still stay true to your core values, then plenty more options open up for finding “the one.”

“Change the filters on what you’re looking for," Adrienne said. "Broaden your horizons, you never know the man of your dreams could be around the corner, it could be someone who is already in your life. But, don’t limit yourself for what you’re looking for.”

Say what you will about the singer-actress, but she may be on to something.  Peep the clip above.

Bow Wow is keeping his coins in his pockets when it comes to the Soulja Boy vs. Chris Brown celebrity boxing match. He tells us why inside…

Super Bowl LI went down on Sunday and all of Atlanta jetted to Houston to cheer on the Atlanta Falcons. Bow Wow was amongst the celebrity crowd. Unfortunately for the ATLiens, the Falcons were defeated by the New England Patriots. So, it’s a good thing Mr. Shad Moss didn’t bet on the game.

YBF correspondents Desola Awofeso and Rebecca Guillory caught up with the “CSI:Cyber” alum on the red carpet at Maxim’s 2017 Pre-Super Bowl Party at the Smart Financial Centre to find out why he decided not to bet on his beloved Falcons.

“It’s my team and it's already personal," he told us. "It’s like I don’t want to have any more pressure on it with money on the line. It’s going to be too much.”

Speaking of bets, who would he choose to put his money behind between his homies Soulja Boy and Chris Brown?

“Nah. I’mma let them do what they do. I’m just staying out of the way. Soulja, that’s my lil’ partner. Brown, lot of love for the homie. Never nothing bad to say about Brown, we made a lot of money together.”

As for what the rapper/actor has in store for 2017, he’ll be working behind-the-scenes on an upcoming spin-off reality show.

“Growing Up Hip Hop” is coming to the “A” and he confirms two high-profile celebuspawns are set to be featured on the show.  Find out who they are in the video above!

Not only is Bow producing the series, he will also be joining the cast. That should be interesting.

Peep our chat with Bow Wow above.
