Migos had one of the biggest nights of their career, then it became one of the messiest.  We've got the drama that went down between the ATL group and 's new nemesis Chris Brown, plus Joe Budden gets some too...

They won Best Group at the Awards show, performed a few times, and everything was seemingly going swell for the Migos.  But on the carpet before the show, the trio got into it with Joe Budden and the hosts of the Everyday Struggle podcast.

During the interview, DJ Akademiks asked Takeoff to repeat himself umpteen times.  Some think it was shade since folks call the crew mumble rappers.  Joe walked off the interview looking exasperated.  Then ish went all the way left.

Joe came with the sarcasm posting:

 

Had the pleasure of speaking w Migos.  Tomorrow on #EverydayStruggle

A post shared by CCD @ Complex Media | MME (@joebudden) on

 

After the show, Migos were walking through the parking lot and ran into Chris Brown and his people. Chris and Quavo are allegedly beefing now that he's dating Chris' ex Karrueche.

Kae recently won a restraining order against Chris, so we didn't see him anywhere near her. That didn't stop this scuffle from happening with Quavo and Chris saw each other. Migos walked up on Chris' security, then things got hectic.

Chris can be seen in the lime green pants posted up against a car:

Fashion is all about taking risks and several celebrities hit the carpet at the 2017 BET Awards with some interesting ensembles. Check them out inside…

 

When your red carpet risk does (or doesn't) pay off...

We love “Orange Is The New Black” star Dascha Polanco’s style, but we’re not too sure we’re feeling this Bishme R. Cromartie concoction.

Amber Rose, Sibley ScolesandZonnique weren't the only ones with blonde ambition at the 2017 BET Awards.  It seemed like EVERYBODY went the platinum blonde wiggery route.  Decide who rocked it best inside....

Pass the peroxide and the wiggery!  Everybody had a platinum surprise up their sleeve last night at the 2017 BET Awards.

Tamar Braxton pulled up to the Staples Center flossing a new body and a new look (and a new music video she later dropped), complete with a platinum blonde bob:

Rapper Future and his daughter Londyn Wilburn commanded some attention when they made their way on the carpet in diamond-encrusted masks. We assume it’s a tribute to the Atlanta rapper’s track he performed “Mask Off”.

Word On The Curb Is That The Police Are Eyeing Lil Kim Over LA Robbery

Lil Kim definitely doesn’t need any drama with the police, but she somehow found herself in the middle of some robbery ish. Deets inside…

 

Oh Kimmy. Girl, you don't need any more run-ins with the po-pos.

TMZ is reporting the police are looking at Lil Kim as a “person of interest” after a L.A. home robbery during the BET Awards festivities.

Here’s what we know...

 photo kimrob2.jpg

Kimmy, pictured above at last nights BET Awards in a custom Angel Brinks catsuit, rented a house to throw a BET afterparty. Once she got to the residence, however, she was not satisfied. Around 2AM on Sunday, Kim and her crew demanded they get their money back from either the owner or property manager. Ish got real and an altercation ensued where cops were called.

Apparently, the authorities said they couldn't do anything about it since it was a civil matter, and they left.

Well, a group of people returned to the residence around 4AM wearing ski masks and they allegedly were toting “weapons.” The robbers got the deposit back and cash, which totaled $20,000.

Sounds like some gully ish that goons do.  BBHMM!

To make matters worse, the culprits slashed all of the tires on a vehicle and even stole a hubcap. Whet?! 

Now, the LAPD has launched an investigation and Kim is a person of interest.

One thing we know for sure, Kimmy does NOT need this drama. We know she’s not trying to go back to jail.

EXCLUSIVE: Omari Hardwick Talks About Filming THOSE 'Power' Scenes With The Late Charlie Murphy

0

 photo charliepower.jpg

TheYBF.com got the chance to chop it up with “Power” stars Omari Hardwick and Lela Loren.  And they got candid about what it was like to work with late comedian Charlie Murphy before his death. More inside….

Charlie Murphy was battling leukemia and few people knew about it when he was filming scenes for the upcoming 4th season of “Power.” In fact, after his death it came out that none of the cast even knew he was sick. He died at the age of 57 on April 12, 2017.

With last night's new season premiere, we now know Charlie plays a prison guard named Marshal Williams starring opposite of Omari Hardwick (James “Ghost” St. Patrick) who got arrested for the murder of FBI Agent Greg Knox. We all know he didn’t do it, but he’ll be fighting for redemption as he goes up against the judicial system, the media, old friends, new friends and enemies.

YBF correspondent Unique Chapman sat down with Omari Hardwick and his on-screen mistress Lela Loren where they spilled a few tidbits on what it was like working with Charlie Murphy on set.

“Perhaps you’re asking in terms of us knowing him as a comedy force, but you ain’t coming to Power to bring comedy. His task was a bit different in this,” Omari said.

“The scenes were long and intense, so I think you’re going to see a side of Charlie Murphy that people don’t know. It’s exciting,” Lela said.

It'll be interesting to see how his role ended up taking shape, and how he admirably took on something completely different in his career

The 2017 BET Awards shed light on a few celebrity do-gooders during last night’s show. Go inside for the deets on how NFL brothers Michael and Martellus Bennett are giving back, plus Chance the Rapper’s recognition for his philanthropic efforts inside…

It’s their time to shine!

When ballers give back, it just warms our hearts. And when they’re recognized for their efforts, it makes us beam even more.

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett (blush suit) and his brother/Green Bay tight end Martellus Bennett (blue suit) are helping others in a way we’ve never seen NFL players do before.

Martellus has vowed to donate all of the sales from his football jerseys to after-school programs to help inner city youth. Not only that, he also has founded a children’s book company called The Imagination Agency, a company committed to producing children’s books for kids all over the world.

Meanwhile, Michael pledged to give all of the money he made fro his 2017 endorsement deals to charities that help minorities and the empowerment of black WOMEN. Yes, you read that right. So here for this.

The BET Awards honored both brothers with the Shine Your Light Award for their talents off of the field. And it’s well deserved to say the least. Also, My Black Is Beautiful donated a cool $10,000 on their behalf. Nice!

 photo betballers2.jpg

 

The brothers have been pretty vocal about issues that feel strongly about. Martellus was one of several players who sat out the Patriots’ visit to Trump’s White house after winning the Super Bowl. His brother Michael didn’t hesitate to call out white NFL players urging them to speak up about the injustices of black people in America.

Peep the NFL stars accepting the award below:

 

 

So yeah, like we said, this was well deserved and we hope they continue to soldier on in their activism movement.

Another YBF do-gooder that was honored during the ceremony.

Chi-town’s savior!

Chance The Rapper made headlines when he donated over $2 million to the Chicago Public School system. And now, he’s being showered with praise for his big heart.

Last night, the Chi-town native accepted the Humanitarian Award for all of his work in the community, especially his hometown of Chicago.

At the age of 24, Chance is the youngest recipient of the BET Humanitarian Award and he noted that being honored with the award definitely added on some extra pressure. Nothing he can’t handle though.

Oh, and guess what? Former First Lady Michelle Obama gave him props via a pre-taped video that played right before he took the stage to accept the award.

 photo chancehuman2.jpg

“To be receiving something like this at my age, it feels a little early to be getting something like this, but my God don’t make mistakes, and I like to think he puts this enormous pressure on me to see how I react," he told the audience. 

Chance said he’s just getting started and hopes to become an even bigger influence outside of his community.

He also made a call for social justice, calling out the judicial system for locking up people over marijuana.

“To tell everybody in this government that y’all need to let everybody out of jail for selling weed before you start making it legal for people to sell it and make capital off of it.”

We’d have to agree.

Philando Castile’s Family Reaches $3 Million Settlement After Cop Who Killed Him Was Acquitted

Philando Castile’s family as reached a settlement with the city of St. Anthony after the police officer that killed him was acquitted on all charges. Details inside…

The family of Philando Castile reached a $3 million settlement with the city of St. Anthony in Minnesota today.

As you know, Philando was gunned down in cold blood by St. Anthony police officer Jeronimo Yanez during a traffic stop on July 6, 2016 with his girlfriend and her 4-year-old daughter also in the car. His girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, streamed the aftermath of the shooting via Facebook Live for the world to see.

Last week, dash cam footage of the murder was released which showed Philando didn’t stand a chance. The officer claimed in court he was in fear of his life, but the video footage doesn’t quite line up with his statement. Philando was shot seven times by the officer after Philando told him he had a firearm on him, which he had every right to do so in the open carry state.

Ex-police officer Jeronimo Yanez was acquitted of second-degree manslaughter and two counts of intentional discharge of a firearm that endangers safety a little over a week ago. He’s no longer on the police force.

"The death of Philando Castile is a tragedy for his family and for our community," according to a statement from the city and lawyers for the family."The parties moved expeditiously to resolve potential civil claims resulting from this tragedy in order to allow the process of healing to move forward for the Castile family, for the people of St. Anthony Village, and for all those impacted by the death of Philando Castile throughout the United States."

"No amount of money could ever replace Philando. With resolution of the claims the family will continue to deal with their loss through the important work of the Philando Castile Relief Foundation."

While it’s good that the Castile Family can use the money to honor his legacy, it’s tragic his life was taken away for no reason.

Serena Williams – The STUNNING Maternity Shoot & Love Story For VANITY FAIR You Gotta See

 photo serena-williams-08-17-cover_zpsynridsp4.jpg

We can't EVEN with the stunning perfection that is Serena Williams' maternity shoot for Vanity Fair!  Get into the breathtaking shots -- fiancé included -- and her epic love story inside...

 

 photo serena-williams-08-17-ss02_zps0txzjw6i.jpg

Shutting ish down as always, Serena.  She tells Vanity Fair in the August 2017 issue everything we've been wanting to know – her and Alexis Ohanian's love story, her pregnancy vibes and why she feels she's losing her freedom.

Tennis' #1 woman and her fiancé Alexis were photographed in Highland Beach, crazy beautiful & in love:

 photo serena-williams-08-17-ss05_zpsqlzy2teb.jpg

 photo serena-williams-08-17-ss04_zpsier5met0.jpg   photo serena-williams-08-17-ss03_zpsxtkmrzbp.jpg

The love story they told to VF though, epic.

They met in the most happenstance of ways.  6'5 tech entrepreneur Alexis sat down at a restaurant table next to Serena -- that she was saving for her team -- at the Cavalieri hotel, in Rome May 2015.  Se was about to play in the Italian Open and he was speaking at a tech conference.  She and her friends lied and told him a rat was by his table to get him to move, and she was annoyed this "big tall man" would plop himself next to their table out of every empty table there.  By the way, she was only there because the buffet she wanted to go to had closed 5 minutes before.

Alexis said he's from Brooklyn so he's unbothered by rats, and stayed right where he was with earphones in and doing work on his laptop.  When Serena invited him over to join their table, he wasn't even sure if she was THE Serena Williams because he never watched tennis.  Only basketball and football.

 photo Screen Shot 2017-06-27 at 10.13.04 AM_zpsqi5c0cmq.png

Fast forward to a couple more happenstance meetings during their time and Rome, and exchanging numbers, and they were soon a couple.

Alexis also said he knew he would marry her when she FaceTimed him to wish him happy birthday -- something she doesn't even celebrate because she grew up as a Jehovah's Witness.

Here's a few more highlights you gotta see:

On how he proposed with a surprise trip to Italy...while she was training for a tournament:

Serena wasn’t happy. Actually, she was livid. But after she got on the plane, she realized that he was flying her out for only one reason. “I knew it was coming. I was like, ‘Serena, you’re 35, you’re ready. This is what you want.’ ”

Alexis picked the same room they had shared a year earlier, the hotel at his instruction filling it with flowers. He took her downstairs to the same table by the pool area where they had first met. No one else was there, since the hotel, also at his instruction, had cleared everyone else out. He retold the story of how he had met her for the first time at this exact spot two years earlier. On the table was a little plastic rat.

Alexis got on one knee and proposed.

 

Serena's totally freaking out over being unprepared:

“I don’t know what to do with a baby. I have nothing.... I’ve done absolutely nothing for the baby room.”

On how Serena simply being Serena inspires him to be a better man:

“I felt like a door had been opened to a person who made me want to be my best self. . . . I find myself just wanting to be better by simply being around her because of the standard she holds.”

 

How she broke the pregnancy news to Alexis:

Once Serena knew she was pregnant, she called Alexis and told him he needed to come to Melbourne earlier than planned. She did not give him the reason, but Alexis thought it was likely health-related and immediately got a United flight out of San Francisco. When she saw him, not a word was said.

She handed him a paper bag with the six positive pregnancy tests.

 

On not planning to be pregnant anytime soon:

“If you would have told me last year in October or November that I would have a baby, not be pregnant but have a baby, I would have thought you were the biggest liar in the world. This is kind of how I am right now. This is happening sooner than later, and it’s going by so fast.”

Her friend Diondria says she loves being pregnant, but the innate competitive vibes are taking over as well:

“I can also see competition creeping in on her. Is this over yet? I think she’s getting this itch . . . to see her intensity and her workout—‘I have to stay fit. I have to get back on the court.’ Very determined to get back on the court.”

The current state of their relationship:

Alexis and Serena still try to see each other every weekend in what will be a bi-coastal relationship until marriage. Alexis is looking forward to the marriage. Serena, with tongue floating somewhere in cheek, says, “I’m trying to enjoy the little freedom I have left.”

She was 6 months along at the time of the shoot, so it appears 'Rena's baby will be here soon!

Oakland City Thunder baller Russell Westbrook was awarded the highest honor of the year: the Most Valuable Player Award. And it was rightfully deserved after a historic season.

During his emotional speech, he reflected on his life saying:

“I remember growing up just being home, playing the video games and stuff with my pops, and my mom sitting there and my brother and just talking about maybe one day I could be the MVP. Obviously I was joking at the time. But now to be standing here with this trophy next to me is a true blessing, man, and it’s an unbelievable feeling, something that I can never imagine.”

Wrapping up his emotional speech, the 28-year-old served up a special tribute to his wife, Nina Westbrook.

“You hold me down. You keep me in check through good and through bad,” he gushed. “You make sure I’m on the right track and I’m so appreciative of you because you sacrifice so, so much for me every single day and I can’t thank you enough. As a wife in this league, to be able to sacrifice some of the things you sacrifice and everything that you do, I can’t put it in words and describe how thankful I am to have you in my life. You’ve blessed me with a beautiful son that I’m so thankful for. You continue to make me go. Every time I come home I just, regardless of a good or bad game, every time I see your face I just smile. It does nothing but brighten me up. I just want to say I love you and I thank you for everything you’ve done for me thus far. You’re the best wife a husband like me could ask for and I love you Sugar. Love you very much.”

La La Anthony Isn’t Divorcing Carmelo Anthony…Yet

0

 photo lalawendy.png

While La La Anthony has separated from her estranged husband Carmelo Anthony, she says she’s not divorcing him just yet. Get all of the details she spilled about her uncoupling inside…

 

In today's edition of "This is your glow up when you drop a man with F-Boi behavior"....

Since news broke that La La and Carmelo Anthony were separating, there has been speculation that a divorce will soon follow.

Now, the “Power” star is putting the rumors to rest...kinda.

During an appearance on “The Wendy Williams Show” today, the ridiculously hot birthday girl said she doesn’t have any plans on divorcing the NBA star, at least “not right now.”

We first learned that La La and Melo were calling it quits about 2 months ago after 7 years of marriage and being together a total of 12 years. Rumors of him impregnating a stripper have gone un-refuted by the couple.

The "New Edition Story" star said they’re currently going through a rough patch in their relationship and she’s not sure what the future holds.

“Marriages are tough," she said. "We all know that. It’s filled with ups and downs and we’re just going through a time right now. But, him and I are the best of friends and our #1 commitment is to our son, Kiyan [Anthony]. We have to set an example for Kiyan and that’s what’s important to me.”

No matter how she feels about the situation, she said she will never bash him in the media.

“I will absolutely never say a bad thing about my husband. That’s my son’s father and he’s an amazing dad.”

On La’s birthday (this past on Sunday), Melo posted up a tribute to his wife, wishing her a Happy Birthday:

 photo melolabirthday.jpg

Wendy noted that Melo is really trying to win her back with his nice gestures, in which La responded, “Why wouldn’t he?”

Ha! Let foks know La!

“I don’t know what the future holds. I just know that we are doing an incredible job of being parents to our son. We are the best of friends. I’ve been with Melo since he was 19-years-old. You’re not with somebody that long and it just goes out the window. I love him with all of my heart and we are the best of friends.”

There are rumors that Melo could possibly go to the Boston Celtics, but La won’t be jumping ship with him.“New York is definitely where I’m at and where I’m staying," she confirmed.

 

About last night....

A post shared by LaLa (@lala) on

 

So is she currently dipping in the dating pool?

“Yeah, I’m dating myself. I’m trying to get myself in order. I’m in the gym everyday. I’m eating right. I’m taking out all of the bad stuff out of my life and just really dating and focusing on myself, which is something women need to do a lot more often. Put ourselves first.”

Drop those gems chick!

Peep her interview below:

 

A new episode of "Power" premieres Sunday, July 2nd at 9pm EST on STARZ.

Khloe Kardashian wanted us to believe she could possibly be pregnant with Tristan Thompson’s baby, but it appears she was trolling…or whatever you want to call it. Peep pics from the surprise party Tristan threw his “queen” inside…

Khloe posted a collage of Polaroid shots with her NBA beau, who welcomed a baby boy this past December, from the party on her social media and fans quickly noticed she captioned one of the flicks “Dad + Mom.”

We all know THIS type of caption would get the fans all fired up. But, sources tell media“Dad + Mom” are just nicknames they use for one another. Oh.
