Nicki Minaj has spent the last several days proving she's the bigger star between her and Remy Ma.  And some may say it's coming off bothered...especially for someone who's unbothered.  Deets inside...

AFter Nicki released three new track over the weekend, she's been going hard on social media posting about all the suport she's getting from her big named friends in the business, espcially her Young Money Crew.

She tapped Drake& Wayne to hop on "No Frauds" -- where she clapped back at Remy -- and two other tracks.  As for why she waited forever to pop back at shETHER, she said it's because Young Money doesn't make diss records. They make hit records and dis you on them.  She also said a Queen doesn't respond on "peasant time."

Today, she's on a roll showing off all her gifts she's getting from the likes of Olivier Rousteing and Karl Lagerfeld while chilling in Paris with her ankle length weave.  And she also let the world know her Pink Print album shot up major numbers after her battle with Remy and the fall out:

 

Yikes!!! @olivier_rousteing @balmain I AM IN LOVE. thank you!!!

Yes, we know you're the bigger pop star Nicki.  but this battle was about bars.

Nick took the stage with Drizzy last night at his Parisian tour stop, and she got her whine on backstage:

 

Ha.

A post shared by Nicki Minaj (@nickiminaj) on

Yep, we get it Nicki. By the way, Jason Derulo, who's part owner in new L.A. hotspot Catch, said he didn't even notice she was dissing Remy on their "Swalla" track they just did together.

He told Hip Hop DX:

“You know, it’s kinda crazy because I didn’t even expect that.  [Her dissing Remy] didn’t even cross my mind. I didn’t [put two and two] together. To be honest, I don’t think anybody on my team or my label put that together, either. But I guess it was a combination of [“Swalla”] and the other song [“Make Love” with Gucci Mane]. I don’t really know the whole joint but I do know that her coming back with those three records was unbelievable. That’s some legendary shit.”

Interesting.

DAMN GIRL! Laurence Fishburne’s Daughter Was ARRESTED For DUI & Property Damage In Florida

Laurence Fishburne’s daughter Montana Fishburne is causing some trouble in Florida. Chick was arrested and charged with DUI and she also landed a few other charges. Get the latest inside….

 photo mfishburne1.jpg

Laurence Fishburne’s daughter Montana Fishburne is no stranger to making headlines that would embarrass her father. We all remember the spectacle that went down when her father found out she was porn star. At the time, he was completely embarrassed and said he was disowning her until she got her ish together.

 photo mfishburne3.jpg

Well, she may still have a ways to go.

The former porn star was arrested near her Florida home and charged with DUI, DUI with property damage and DUI with blood alcohol readings above .15.  She spent the night in Broward County Sheriff’s Office jail a few days ago.

According to the police report (via the Daily Mail), Laurence’s 25-year-old was “incoherent” as she walked around the accident scene. She allegedly rear-ended her Toyota Corolla into a person driving in a Range Rover. When the officer showed up on the scene, he said he could smell alcohol on her breath and found an open bottle of wine on the floor of her car. Needless to say, she failed a series of field sobriety tests. SMH!

Montana was released from jail on a $2,500 bond on Saturday afternoon. If she’s found guilty of all three charges, she could wind up in a state prison for a maximum of three years.

It was all good a week ago though...

Montana posted this flick of herself enjoying a nice day out in Miami with her pooch.

Darius McCrary’s Wife Files For Divorce, Wants NO Visitation Granted + Mets Player José Reyes Threatened With Lawsuit Over ‘Love Child’

 photo darius.jpg

Darius McCrary’s wife Tammy Brawner wants nothing to do with him and wants him far away from their daughter. Get the details on their uncoupling, plus why Jose Reyes might be sued over a “love child” inside…

The drama continues in the McCrary household.

Darius McCrary’s wife Tammy Brawner has filed for a divorce following abuse allegations she made against the actor. You’ll recall, she filed a restraining order against Darius after making claims that he physically abused and tortured their daughter Zoey. He also filmed a restraining order against her, claiming she burned him with a flat iron.

Now, she’s pulling the trigger on a divorce and she wants Darius to stay AWAY from her and their youngest daughter Zoey. She claims Darius has issues with drugs, alcohol and his temper. She filed the paperwork in L.A., citing irreconcilable differences. The former Harlem Globetrotters player made it crystal clear she had concerns for her 1-year-old daughter’s safety while in his care.

In the docs obtained by TMZ, Tammy wants Darius to "attend alcohol/drug abuse and batterers' intervention classes." She doesn’t want Darius anywhere near their daughter until he provides receipts he completed a treatment program.

Also, Tammy is gunning for legal and physical custody of Zoey and spousal support. No shocker there.

In another crazy breakup situation...

 photo josereyes.jpg

Mets player José Reyes is caught up in some more drama.

After a 51-game suspension for a domestic violence arrest with his wife, the mother of his alleged secret love child is now suing him.

The woman, model/TV host Christina Sanchez, is reportedly threatening to sue him in Nassau County over their 7-year-old daughter Liyah, who was born just months after he tied the knot with his wife, Katherine Ramirez. Yikes.

According to Page Six:

Sanchez’s attorney Steven Gildin says Reyes demanded she keep their child a secret from the world, then cut off all contact with them when his wife found out in 2015.

Gildin said, “José was seeing Christina for two years, then she read in the New York Post [in 2008] that he got married to Katherine. A month later, Christina found out she was pregnant, and he screamed and demanded she keep the child a secret.”

He added if Reyes — who earns $22 million a year — doesn’t make an offer for child support, and assume his role as a father, they’ll sue for $5 million a year.

Welp.

José’s attorney Eric S. Solotoff responded to the legal threat saying, “We . . . are confident that when all of the evidence comes out, it will show that our client has more than met his obligations. It is unfortunate that the other side has chosen to deal with this in this manner.”

This is a mess...

Asian Beauty Supply Owner CHOKES & KICKS Black Woman He Alleges Was Stealing + Folks Are Coming Together To BOYCOTT The Business

 photo asianboycott.jpg

This has to be the most ridiculous and disgusting video you’ll see all week. An Asian beauty supply owner choked and kicked a black woman who he accused of stealing. Guess what? Nothing was found in her possession. Peep the clip and get the details inside…

Brace yourself! This video you’re about to view is quite disturbing and will likely PISS you off!

The madness reportedly started when Missha Beauty manager Sung Ho Lim walked up to a black woman who he believed had stolen something last Thursday. Allegedly, some eyelashes.

First, another woman in the store pushed the black woman. Then, Lim kicked her, wrestled her to the ground and put her in a chokehold. As she’s laid out on the floor with Lim on top of her neck, the Asian woman was seen grabbing the black woman’s arm and trying to twist it.

In the clip, you can hear the unidentified woman pleading with them, saying“Check my bag. I don’t have anything” as she gasps for air while being held in a chokehold.

Check it:

 

 

 

Disgusting!

Now, community leaders and residents in the Charlotte community are boycotting the establishment, as they should.

 

 

On Sunday, several people, including members from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg chapter of the NAACP, gathered outside of Missha Beauty store to protest. They are calling for everyone to QUIT patronizing with the beauty supply store until Lim issues an apology to the woman.

The protestors also went inside to speak with Lim who claims he’s not ready to offer up an apology since (he claims) she was stealing:

 

 

 

According to WBTV, Lim has not been charged and police say the woman "has not been identified or arrested." Anoter report claims Lim changed his mind about issuing the young lady an apology, but that has yet to happen.

Just another reason to find and support black owned beauty businesses in your area.

These two love sports events. They were joined at the hip in the stands at the Super Bowl as well.

While the “Love & Hip Hop” star and Atlanta rapper do have a new track together “Lick,” it looks like they enjoy spending time together outside of the studio. Mmhmm…

Nothing wrong with testing the waters.

Diddy was spotted cozying up to his on-again girlfriend Cassie before his Biggie presentation. Yep, they’re still together.

Hey Christian.

During the halftime, Diddy, Biggie’s mom Voletta Wallace, Biggie’s kids, Faith Evans, Lil Kim and more paid tribute to the Notorious B.I.G. on the anniversary of his death. Peep the touching ceremony HERE.

BIG3 co-owner Ice Cube and BIG3 player/coach Charles Oakley (who was banned then allowed back at MSG) were also sitting courtside. They announced the highly anticipated professional 3-on-3 basketball league’s first game day will tip off at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on June 25, 2017!

“Brooklyn has been on our radar since we started the BIG3. From the pickup courts to the pros, New York’s hoops history is unrivaled,” said Cube via press release. “Legends are born here, and kicking this thing off at the iconic Barclays Center could not be more fitting.”

Nice!

Cooking Sensation 'Auntie Fee' Reportedly On Life Support After Heart Attack

The digital cooking sensation who kept everyone laughing with her unfiltered ways is now fighting for her life.  The latest on Auntie Fee inside...

Felicia "Auntie Fee" Odell reportedly suffered a heart attack Tuesday afternoon, and her life is now hanging in the balance. 

Reports originally stated that the Youtube cooking star had passed away just hours after being rushed to the hospital in L.A.  Now, the story has changed.

TMZ, who originally reported that she died, now states that they received incorrect info from Fee's close family members:

We were first told by Fee's nephew Sosten Price and sister Ayesha that the 59-year-old died Tuesday after the medical emergency. However, we've now learned she's on life support surrounded by family at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center after being rushed by ambulance.

Once the site updated their story, a person posting on Aunt Fee's official page shared the post saying: Not completely accurate but close enough. So please continue to pray.

Her family posted that Fee has not passed, but she is in the hospital and in need of prayers.  It very well could be a discrepancy in what exactly some may qualify as "dead," and close family could understandably jump to worse case scenario.

This heart attack took all of her fans by complete surprise. Over the weekend, Aunt Fee posted herself that she was feeling sick:

And she also appeared on a tv show. Aunt Fee rose to social media fame back in 2014 when she was posting about her "good ass chicken" and other hilarious recipes.

We're keeping her in our prayers and hope that she keeps fighting!

Big Sean and Jhene Aiko are still coupled up as they hit the L.A. party scene last night. Get into their coupledom shots, plus pics of Zoe Saldana getting in some family time inside….

 photo CelebsDineOutCraigWestHollywoodwVFZpYlxmtGl.jpg

Whether they’re in the studio or making rounds in L.A., Big Sean and Jhene Aiko love spending time together. The lovebirds were spotted on their way to Craig’s restaurant to party it up at The Hollywood Reporter/Jimmy Choo Power Stylists Dinner last night.

The Souled Out singer stuck to her signature party style in a crop top and high waisted pants. She recently told ELLE magazine that her go-to party look consists of a crop top with “a little sliver of midsection,” wide-leg pants and a nice heel.

 photo CelebsDineOutCraigWestHollywoodGbawZwq_fYBl.jpg

Since launching their TWENTY88 super group, the twosome spends tons of time together in the studio. Jhene dished on how they have totally different working styles revealing,

"As for our dynamic in the studio, I would definitely say that Sean takes charge...I work on songs little by little, and he doesn't. He'll finish a whole song in one night. And so he'll be like, 'Okay, now do this part. Just write this verse real [quick].' It motivates me. I'm never mad at it because it does help me be more productive. It's always a good time, though, because we're always just being silly and making jokes."

 photo JABS.jpg

They have a good time, but they do butt heads sometimes.

"[When we disagree], I feel like I'm really good at shutting it down. If I don't like something, I'll just say no. Or, if Sean tries to suggest something, an opinion, without me asking, then I'll be like, 'No. I think it's fine.' So for me, I will ask if I want someone's opinion, but if I don't, I'll say, 'No, I didn't ask you.'"

Ha!

In another coupledom spotting...

They just welcomed a new baby boy, but yesterday was all about the big brothers.

Zoe Saldana and her husband Marco Perego were spotted out and about with their twin boys, Cy and Bowie, in L.A.

Fan ACCUSES Miguel Of Sexual Assault & His Fiancée Nazanin Mandi Has Something To Say About It

So, a woman just publicly blasted singer Miguel for sexually assaulting her. And now, his fiancée Nazanin Mandi is clapping back. Get it all inside…

A woman named Xian Bass, a student at University of New Mexico, has come forward accusing R&B singer Miguel of sexually assaulting her. She claims she went to club, ran into the “Coffee” singer and asked him for a photo. The Grammy Award winner obliged and they snap a cute “us-sie” (seen above).

Then, according to her, things took a turn.

After telling him how she likes to have orgasms to his music, she claims Miguel groped her lady lumps. In a video she posted to Instagram, she says, “He [Miguel] reaches his hand down my shirt and takes my breast out of my top. Like, literally pulls my breast out of my shirt right after we took a photo.” She says after he pulled her boob out of her shirt, he had the most disgusting look on his face.

Xian recounted the incident on social media, writing him an open letter and posting a video reflecting on the alleged incident.

In the letter, she writes:

Dear Miguel,

I used to be a fan of your music.

I was a fan of your music until you blatantly disrespected my body in a public place. There is nothing I did or said that warranted this disgusting display of entitlement, rape culture, and male privilege. I approached you respectfully and you still decided my body was not sacred enough to be treated as a human being. After we took this photo, you took it upon yourself to grab my breast and remove it from my shirt WITHOUT CONSENT. You then proceeded to look at my naked breast with such a disgusting look on your face. It’s still embedded in my memory. The sneer of your lip and salivating mouth is making my stomach turn. I really don’t understand why you would do that to someone who approached you as a fan. I’m beyond disgusted right now. Are you used to treating random female strangers this way? Have you gotten away with this in the past?

Well, it stops HERE and NOW.

I will not sit in shameful silence and allow sexual assault to be normalized. #toxicmasculinity #maleprivilege #violated #rapecultureisreal #celebrityprivilege #iwasntaskingforit #speakup #speakupspeakout #nomiguel

And here’s the video where she details the alleged encounter:

We wonder if she filed a police report as well.

Miguel's fiancée Nazanin Mandi caught wind of the woman's claims and responded to the drama online:

She's obviously not here for it. As of the time of this post, Miguel has not addressed the situation.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is currently on a tour across the nation to get out of his San Francisco “bubble.” But, we’re sure he hasn’t received a welcome quite like this.

The tech mogul stopped by North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (the top school of African American graduates in engineering, agricultural science and accounting) for a town hall meeting on Monday (March 13th). And the ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. served up a warm welcome.

The Facebook honcho was the featured speaker for the university’s inaugural Chancellor’s Town Hall on Monday. In front of 200 students, Mark talked about community building, fake news, coding, and diversity in the tech world.

“I don’t think it’s a secret that the tech community and industry has an issue with diversity,”he said. “We have to do a better job, but I think it’s going to take a little while.”

When asked how he felt about Facebook Live being used to hold police officers accountable for their actions, he responded,“I feel great. If we’re not going to give them body cameras, then we’ll give everyone a Live camera.”

Last night, The Hollywood Reporter and Jimmy Choo hosted a star-studded soiree at Craig's restaurant in L.A. to show love to the most powerful celebrity stylists in the game. And one YBFer was in the mix to celebrate his spot on the list AND his magazine cover debut.

Law Roach, stylist to stars Zendaya and Celine Dion, landed one of the covers of THR’s 25 Most Powerful Stylists in Hollywood issue, making his magazine cover debut. "I walked in and it was one of the first magazines on the bar as I passed and I literally gasped!,”he said at the party.

Big Sean said about Ade. “Ade has really helped me step my game up tremendously,” he continued. Jhene agreed, saying, “Ade is really good with being in tune with who you are; she's good at amplifying the sound that you already have."

Paris Jackson, Tinashe and Travis Scott are heating up the magazine circuit. Paris graces the newest cover of Harper’s Bazaar, while Tinashe and Travis Scott get lit for British GQ Style. More inside…

 photo parisj1.jpg

Paris Jackson is ready for her fashion takeover.

The daughter of the late, great Michael Jackson flexes her model skills on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar’s April 2017 issue. And she’s totally serving up Madonna-esque vibes. Remember those photos we showed you of her on the set of the photoshoot in Paris? It was originally reported she was working on a shoot for Chanel, but as you can see, the shoot was for the fashion magazine.

The 18-year-old model/actress, who made a cameo in “STAR” last week, dished to the magazine about being her dad’s favorite child, what it’s like to live in the spotlight and using her platform to speak on politics.

Below are the highlights:

On being Michael Jackson’s favorite child:

"When I was a kid, I was with my dad and my two brothers. Growing up, I was treated as the favorite because I was the only girl. I was the princess; I was perfect in my dad's eyes."

On being famous and how to handle haters:

"Who gives a f*ck?" she asks. "You're on their mind—how is that a bad thing? Doesn't matter if they're saying good or bad things about you. They're thinking about you enough to write about you. You just can't care."

"But what if you do care?" I ask.

"I used to feel that way," she says. "Then it gets to a point where, you know what, it's going to happen. Not everybody is going to be happy with what you do. If you're not happy with what you're doing, that's a problem," she says. "If you're happy, who gives a f*ck?"

On using her platform to speak on politics:

"Plenty of times I've thought about not doing anything in the public eye and having my own private life. Then I started seeing how everything in the world is going. And I feel like each year it's getting worse."

Singer Tinashe and rapper Travis Scott are heating up the pages of the British GQ Style Spring/Summer 2017 issue. We see nothing was off limits for this shoot. Crotch grabbing and all.

The songstress opened up about what fans can expect from her upcoming sophomore album Joyride after some major delays.

“The good thing that fans should be excited about is that the album is just getting better and better,” she says. “It’s not sitting in limbo, it’s being improved upon and growing all the time. Even since a year ago, I feel like I’ve changed a lot. I’m a 24-year-old woman, and when you’re my age, you can grow a lot in a year. Even musically and creatively, I’m inspired by new things. The energy shifts. It’s an evolution, but it’s continuing to get more exciting, more relevant, and just better. I hope everyone is patient with me, but when it does drop, it’s going to be f*cking worth it.”

By the way, Travis is featured on a track titled “Joyride” with the singer.

Inside, he talks about that “tumble” he took on stage during a performance with Drake in London last month. While he fell through the stage, he claims he didn’t fall, he flew.

“I didn’t fall, dude, I flew,” he says.“I was floating. I don’t fall. Sh*t, nothing happened. Floating is amazing. It’s like getting in a plane. I just flew, man. I’m a magician, like David Blaine. I could never fall. Drake is an amazing person. Also, a magician. He’s a big brother, super-talent, he’s cool.”

Ok Travis.

The issue hits newstands tomorrow, March 16th.

When an airport employee asked Meek Mill for a pic, ish went all the way left.  Find out why Meek's been charged with assault and his response inside...

 

The other day at St. Louis International Airport, Meek Mill was walking through to board a flight.  He bought some pizza, and then ran into an airport employee who asked for a pic.  Meek wasn't here for it and some type of way, the situation ended with a scuffle.

TMZ reports airport authorities were called to the scene, and Meek and the other airport employees involved were all charged with misdemeanor assault.  They weren't arrested, bit instead were given a summons to appear in court.

Here's video of the aftermath (mobile users, click here):

 

Since he's on probation for a weapons and drug conviction, this could be a violation.  But Meek seems unbothered:

Azealia Banks and Darrelle Revis are thanking their lucky stars! Both of them avoided jail time in separate cases. Get the details inside…

Azealia Banks just lucked up in court!

The Harlem native has avoided jail time after she was arrested and charged with assault and harassment when she allegedly bit a female bouncer’s breast during in altercation outside of Up & Down nightclub in December 2015.

The trial was about to head into jury selection, but the 25-year-old admitted to the assault and decided to cop a last-minute plea deal yesterday on the third-degree assault charges.

Judge Ann Scherzer ordered her to complete an anger management program, continue mental health treatment and she must stay out of trouble for a year in order for her charges to be reduced to disorderly conduct, according to Page Six. If she violates, she could wind up in jail for a year.

Azealia’s luck is running high. After an altercation between her and a L.A. bouncer, she didn't cop any charges.

In another legal victory...

Ex-Jets baller Darrelle Revis scored a victory in court yesterday. A judge dismissed all FOUR felony charges he copped in Pittsburgh after an alleged street fight back in February.

After Judge Jeffrey A. Manning heard testimony from Darrelle’s longtime friend, Rashawn Bolton, during a preliminary hearing yesterday, he dismissed all of the cornerback’s charges. His friend fessed up and took all the blame for the incident and now, Darrelle is clear.

"What happened is in the past now and all I can do is move forward," Revis told NFL.com after the hearing.

Well good for him. Now, the question is…which team is going to pick up the 31-year-old baller?

Well, this ensemble will surely grab the attention one could be seeking.

“Basketball Wives: L.A.” star Sundy Carter rolled up to the Culver Hotel in this jaw dropping dominatrix ensemble that left VERY little to the imagination. Chick had her enhanced lady lumps and booty on full display for any and everyone.

Now, Sundy’s co-star Jackie Christie hosted the event which had a Fifty Shades Darker theme.  But girl. Did we have to take it here?

Check out Sundy in action below:

And isn’t Sundy still married to her husband Cedrick Carter, who appeared on WeTV’s “Marriage Bootcamp” with her? She certainly wasn’t acting like it during the party, laid up on a man’s lap while filming clips on Instagram Stories.

Sundy's co-stars Jackie Christie, Evelyn Lozada and Tami Roman were also in the mix for the grown up shindig. Oddly enough (or not), all them were fully clothed for the event. Hmph.

Russell Wilson invited Ciara’s bestfriend Yolanda Frederick to sit on his lap during an Instagram Live clip. Too close for comfort? Some think so. Peep the clip and decide for yourself. Plus, get the juicy details of Prince and his ex-wife Mayte Garcia’s relationship inside…

Russell Wilson decided to celebrate International Women’s Day with his wife Ciara’s bestie/makeup artist Yolanda Frederick, featuring her on his Instagram Live. And folks are STILL raising their eyebrows at how "close" the two got in the clip.

At the beginning of the clip, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback invited Yolanda to have a seat on his lap to celebrate the holiday.

Check it:

 

Now, we don’t believe Russell or Yolanda meant any harm or disrespct in the clip. They’re all VERY close friends and have been since Russ & Ci started dating. But, how close is too close? Would you be comfortable with your bestfriend sitting on your man’s lap?

It doesn't help that Yolanda posted Russ' ic on Instagram recently and alluded to how hot he looked.

In other too close for comfort news...

Prince’s ex-wife Mayte Garcia is opening up about her relationship with the late musical icon like never before in her new memoir, “The Most Beautiful: My Life With Prince.”

In excerpts from the book, Mayte, who was once Prince’s backup dancer, details the timeline of their relationship, which some would say is a bit odd.

The “Purple Rain” singer first met the former "Hollywood Exes" star at the age of 16, backstage at a concert in Germany after she submitted a tape of herself belly dancing to his music. Fast forward to a year later and the 17-year-old was living with Prince at his Paisley Park estate in Minnesota. Prince ended up becoming her legal guardian, with the approval of her parents, and it allowed her to travel with him on tours.

At the age of 19, Prince advised Mayte to get on birth control. A week later, they had sex and Mayte lost her virginity.

“A week or so later I wrote in bold in my journal: February 9, 1993 – not a virgin. And I drew a winkey smiley face,” she wrote in the book. “Patience pays off,” she continued.

The former "Hollywood Divas" reality star also reflected on how controlling Prince was over her appearance and her weight. After packing on a few pounds, she said the late singer once had his accountant dock her pay after he caught her eating whipped cream.

“Twenty minutes later, the tour accountant came in and said, ‘I’m so sorry, I have to dock your pay this week.’”

Damn.

In 1996, Prince (37) and Mayte (22) got married on Valentine’s Day. Eight months later, they welcomed their son, Amiir (aka Boy Gregory Nelson), who was born with Pfeiffer syndrome. A few days later and several operations, their son had passed away.

“I don’t think he ever got over it," she wrote."I don’t know how anybody can get over it. I know I haven’t.”

The couple eventually divorced in 2000.

You’ll be able to catch all the tea when Mayte’s book hits bookshelves on April 4th.

Oh, well what do we have here?  A possible love connection with two of our "How To Get Away With Murder" faves?  Deets inside...

 

Wes may have been "killed" on "HTGAWM," but British bae Alfred Enoch's still sticking around his fave co-stars like Aja Naomi King....in Europe.  Since he lives in/near London it only made sense to call him up while Aja was in town over the weekend.

 

The two have been hanging out lately, and folks have noticed.  Not just like normal co-stars who catch up and hang out off the set, but a little bit more than that. 

E! News asked her about it recently at the Hollywood Reporter Power Stylist's Dinner, and she played coy about it all.

"It's so weird," King said. "When he was here, he would only speak with an American dialect. It's really startling. So when I called him for us to get together in London, I was like, 'What are you doing? Talk normal. Stop speaking in this weird accent.'"

Ha!

Apparently, Alfred was soptted kissing a mystery woman at Carnival in Rio last month, and some reports called her his girlfriend.

So, what does Aja have anything to say about that?

"I would like to clear up nothing," King said with a big smile and a big laugh. "People could think what they want and I'm going to let them."

She then laughed some more. "He's a beautiful man and I think I'm quite a lovely young lady," she said.

Hmm....

By the way, he's already met her parents.  Aja revealed:

"My parents love Alfie," King said. "They do. They do."

Awww!

Hey, we're here for all this cuteness, whether it's a real flirtmance or not.

Fabolous has been a staple in the rap game since making his mark 20 years ago. And he was honored last week for his musical genius and philanthropic word. TheYBF.com was on the scene as he accepted the Icon Award and the Key to Brooklyn. Find out how Biggie influenced it all inside…

With 20 years under his belt, Fabolous is certainly a bonafide rap star, lyricist, trendsetter and philanthropist. So, it’s only right he be honored for all of the blood, sweat and tears he put into his craft and community over the years.

The Brooklyn native was honored with the Key to his beloved borough and the Icon Award at the Brooklyn Borough Hall last week, on the anniversary of Biggie's death, hosted by Sharon Carpenter. And TheYBF.com was on the scene to salute the legendary artist on his special day.

YBF NYC correspondent Unique Chapman caught up with the “Lituation” rapper before he received recognition.  He dished to us about how fellow Brooklynite Notorious B.I.G. helped paved the way for his illustrious career.

“Of course this is a great day for me to be honored on the same day that we also remember Biggie and remember what he brought to the game, he told TheYBF.com. “Hopefully, I’ll be able to continue to represent Brooklyn the same way he did.”

The event hosted several celebrity guests, including rapper Wale (below), producer Ryan Leslie (below), Swizz Beatz and reality star Tahiry Jose.

We chopped it up with Tahiry on the carpet where she expressed how happy she was to support an icon like Fab. Tahiry, who once dated the rapper back in the day, gushed about her long friendship with Fab (real name John David Jackson).

“When it comes to Fab, it’s personal to me because we go back to when he was rocking canary rocks, driving down my block and scooping me up in a Range Rover. I go back to his first album and I did one of the interludes. So we were like in our teens. And he was my first love. I had to be here. Congrats Fab, or like I like to call him, John.”

While their romantic relationship didn’t work out, they both continue to show love to one another.
