La La Anthony speaks out for the first time since her newest sex scene in “Power” aired and she’s responding to the negative backlash she has received. Also, she addresses whether she and Kofi Siriboe exchanged numbers after he tried to shoot his shot. Get it all inside…

La La Anthony was trending on Twitter Sunday night after her newest sex scene aired on the hit crime drama “Power.”

Luckily for her she missed the initial shock factor online because she was luxuriating in Italy with her fans (and she has the HOT Instagram posts to prove it). Fresh from her vacay, she hit up Power 105’s “The Breakfast Club” to chat about one of the most talked about episodes thus far.

“Let me just say I was happy I was in Italy when it came on [her nude scene] because I’m glad I wasn’t as aware of all the talk,” she told the radio hosts.

She revealed she has received good and bad feedback about the sex scene with her now boyfriend Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora). Apparently, people have a huge dilemma where they can’t differentiate La La from her character LaKeisha. She said she really wishes people would realize it’s not HER, it’s her character.

La La revealed some fans have gone as far as calling her a bad mother for doing sex scenes on the show. Well, she’s not here for all that talk. She said she’s an actress and if her role requires her to get naked, she’s going to do it because she takes her craft seriously. By the way, her son Kiyan Anthony is NOT even allowed to watch “Power.”

Before she even started shooting for the show, she said everyone was sat down and was required to sign a nudity clause. “You know at some point on Power, you have to get nude,” she said.

So, how does her estranged husband Carmelo Anthony feel about the nudity scene? Well, she revealed she hasn’t talked to him about it (yet). Interesting. We wonder if he watched it.

She called the sex scene in Episode 4 one of the most diffucult scenes she has ever shot. It took them over three hours to shoot and she said she’s always a little self conscious when she sees it on TV because it’s her body is put on display for the masses to critique.

When asked if she would be moving with Carmelo if he were traded from the NY Knicks, she said, “We’re not at that place.” She’s adament that she’s staying in NYC.

As for those Kofi Siriboe rumors….

There was talk that La and Kofi exchanged numbers after presenting at the 2017 BET Awards. She said she doesn’t really remember if they actually exchanged numbers, but made it clear that they’re “just cool and it’s nothing like that.”

Would she turn him down because he’s too young?“I didn’t say that. I just said he was young, I didn’t say I would turn him down.” Oh?

However, she’s not concerned with dating at this point in her life.

Right now, she’s just working on putting herself first, being a good mother to Kiyan and working on her career.

“I feel like I’ve been tested and I’m making it through. I definitely feel like I’ve been dealt a crazy hand recently, but I’m just making it through. Life goes on. Things happen and it’s not what happens to you it’s how you react to it.”

Very true.

Fashion King Russell Westbrook made a statement with his fashion at Sports Illustrated’s Fashionable 50 bash last night. Go inside to celebrate with the NBA baller, plus peep flicks of Draya, Orlando Scandrick, Rachel Lindsay and more hitting the carpet…

Not only is he this year’s NBA MVP (thanks to the recording breaking triple-doubles), he’s also Sport’s Illustrated’s Most Fashionable Athlete.

To celebrate his new SI cover and No. 1 spot on the list, the Oklahoma City Thunder baller hit the carpet for Sports Illustrated's Fashionable 50 bash held in L.A. Tuesday night.

The fashion loving point guard rolled up on the carpet in a denim-on-denim look paired with a gray ripped "Fight Racism" t-shirt, serving up a vintage look he was more than proud of.

"I just love the shirt. Obviously, it stands for a lot of things," Russell told Sport’s Illustrated on the carpet."I love the shirt and the way kind of it rips. Just the whole message in the rips go all together in my opinion. Just putting on a nice vintage look."

The new dad was joined on the carpet by his beautiful wife (and new mom) Nina Westbrook, who also rocked denim for the occasion.

Proud parents! Russell's parents came out to celebrate.

You may love Russell’s fashion flare, or it may not be your cup of tea. Either way, it doesn't matter to him because he doesn’t wear it for anyone's approval. 

“I wear a combination of everything,” he explained in his SI magazine cover story. “I go with what I’m feeling and with what looks good, regardless of how much it is. I want to show people across the world that you don’t always have to wear high-end. Whatever it is, you can still be fashionable.”

Back on the carpet...

Mint Swim owner Draya kept it fierce on the carpet alongside her Dallas Cowboys fiancé Orlando Scandrick.

We see you, Orlando.

Gorge. 

Chick rolled up on the carpet in a gold metallic gown with a train by Anya Liesnik and black Tom Ford sandals.

Brother-sister love! Cleveland Cavaliers baller Kyrie Irving brought his model sister Asia Irving as his date for the evening.

“Bachelorette” Rachel Lindsay kept it simple, yet cute in a black frock on the carpet. While speaking with the media on the carpet, she couldn't help but to gush about her fiancé. Did she name him? Find out what she said HERE.

Former reality star Laura Govan stepped out in all white for the summer bash.

"Second Wives Club" star Veronika Obeng came out to party.

So this is a shocker! Jada Pinkett Smith says she used to sling drugs back in the day when she first met her good friend Tupac Shakur. Deets inside…

Jada Pinkett Smith…drug dealer?

Look, we all have a past, so there’s no judgment here. We’re just shocked.

The extra fly 45-year-old actress is still making her rounds in NYC to promote her new comedy, Girls Trip, where she made a stop at Sirius XM to chop it up with Sway during his morning show.

Jada revealed a part of her past we knew nothing about. Apparently, when she met her good friend/slain rapper Tupac Shakur, she was out in these streets slanging drugs. Whet?

"I haven't really told the whole story. One of the things that is very interesting that I've never really said before is that when I first meet Pac... when we first met... I was a drug dealer.”

Something very bad happened to Jada while she was selling drugs, which made her want to get out. As she was trying to get out, she said Pac was trying to get in the game.

She wouldn’t get into too many details about her drug dealing past because she’s about to write a book about it. So, stay tuned for that.  We can't wait to read about how she completely turned it all around to become the super fab chick she is today.

Peep the interview below:

Thoughts?

Still making her rounds, Jada also chopped it up with "TODAY" show host Hoda Kotb. for a ladies event.

Pretty in pink! Jada also hit up "Good Morning America" this AM in this super cute jumpsuit.

Someone at HBO thought it was a good idea to create a new series about an alternative society where slavery was never abolished. Of course, two white producers came up with the concept. Find out the details about the show and share your thoughts inside…

Sighs…where do we begin?

OK, so HBO announced a new series coming to the network that will show an alternative future where the South wins the Civil War and slavery remained legal, titled "Confederate." Yes, you read that right.

"Game of Thrones" producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are behind the project. And get this…they’re working with two producers who are not white -- NichelleTramble Spellman (“The Good Wife”) and Malcolm Spellman (“Empire”). But why tho?

Sure, the purpose of art, which includes television, is to challenge us to think outside the box and experience something larger than life.  But aren't some projects more damaging than they are helpful?

Deadline gives a synopsis of this foolishness saying:

Written by Benioff and Weiss, who also will showrun, Confederate chronicles events leading to the Third American Civil War. It takes place in an alternate timeline, where the Southern states have successfully seceded from the Union, giving rise to a nation in which slavery remains legal and has evolved into a modern institution. The story follows a broad swath of characters on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Demilitarized Zone – freedom fighters, slave hunters, politicians, abolitionists, journalists, the executives of a slave-holding conglomerate, and the families of people in their thrall.

What in the racist fantasy hell? Why is THIS white supremacy story needed?  Especially considering the unstable, racially divided times we're currently living in due to what's now apparently socially acceptable.  Wouldn't this hurt more than it would harm?  It reads like racism-porn for those folks who ride around town with "The South Will Rise Again" stickers on their pick up trucks.

So, here’s the thing. This series will never see the light of day if black people decide NOT to star in it. If one YBF celeb decides to sign on to this project, we’re revoking their black card. Every check aint a good one folks.

This new Herpes-ridden story involving Usher and a stylist just got even messier. The alleged stylist claiming that Usher infected her with the STD was reportedly in the singer's wedding. Full story inside...

Eww.  If this isn't a scared-straight story about the need to wrap it up, we don't know what it.

A new report surfaced this week revealing that newly discovered court papers show that Usher paid off a mistress, to the tune of $1 million, after she accused him of infecting her with Herpes.

Radar Online just posted the documents, which appeared to have been originally filed in 2012.  The lawsuit, filed by a stylist, say Usher had sex with her without confessing that he was carrying the virus.  The stylist claims Usher was diagnosed with Herpes around 2009/2010.

According to California law, it is illegal to have sex with someone while you're aware you're infected with a STD, and not tell them about your disease.

Usher apparently settled the suit by awarding the complainant $1.1 million.  Now, the identity of the stylist has made the situation even messier.

Usher, who posted the above pic during all the unfolding drama yesterday, apparently had unprotected sex with the plaintiff despite having a leaky penis, allegedly.

The NY Daily News states:

Usher allegedly did just that when he told the victim he had tested negative for the virus, despite a “greenish discharge” from his penis, the court papers say.

“Believing Raymond’s statements that (the discharge) had been nothing and cleared up, (she) continued her relationship,” the legal docs said.

Usher paid some of the victim’s medical bills in 2012 — $2,754.40 in all, the court papers show. That’s when he also had his doctor call the woman to tell her that the singer did indeed carry the herpes virus.

As for who the plaintiff is, Rolling Out claims it's celeb stylist Maya Fox Davis, who was one of Tameka Foster's bridesmaids in her wedding to Usher:

The winner of the suit is allegedly celebrity stylist Maya Fox Davis, who was one of Tameka Foster‘s bridesmaids when she married the former “The Voice” judge. During a cross-examination of the custody battle case in an Fulton County, Georgia courtroom, Foster’s lawyer accused the singer of infidelity with Davis. In a three-part interview with “Entertainment Tonight” back in September 2012, Raymond admitted she felt pity for Davis. Foster said on national television, “He admitted to sleeping with one of the two. It was a very disappointing revelation. I had suspected it for some time. I hate to say it, but I somewhat empathize with her. … She fell into somewhat of a trap. I think that she got very close to him as a result of being my friend and I feel like he used it to his advantage.”

Those medical bills mentioned earlier were due to the vaginal lesions she claimed to suffer from after having sex with Usher.

Davis reportedly learned she had the herpes virus after waking up “feeling very sick” with a “fever of 100 degrees, chills, headache, and aches and pains.” She “also developed lesions and blisters in her vagina.”

It's unclear if it's the same bridesmaid who, back in 2012, he admitted to smashing while he and ex-wife Tameka Foster were "separated".

Tameka is definitely catching some of the shade from folks, especially those wondering if she has Herpes herself.  So she just posted this in response:

 

Do not come on my page discussing rumors or adult people that have NOTHING to do with me. I have been divorced 8 years... Some issues are not my business... ex husbands, ex friends, bitch-maids, snakes, hoes, characters, etc. Not my circus, not my clowns ... I'm good and my health (Everywhere is great ), well my right knee hurts and I need reading glasses but otherwise I'm awesome and enjoying the sun. Miss me with other grown folks crazy gossip.. Not my business at all. I'm living my bestest life. Always. Miss me with the bullshit. Thank you. Gwan na

Girls Trip star Tiffany Haddish had us cackling with her swamp tour story with her co-star Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith.  Get it inside...

Tiffany Haddish, Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith all went on a swamp tour down in New Orleans.

Nope, not the start of a joke.  That ish actually happened while the ladies were filming Girls Trip. Tiffany hit up "Jimmy Kimmel" last night and broke into the epic story when they talked about whether Will ever visited the set.

He did, but what went down off set was even better.

Hilarity ensued from the moment Will & Jada hopped into the back of Tiffany's $20 rental car.

Things we learned: Jada has no idea what Groupon is, but what she thought it was is funny AF. The Smiths haven't been amongst "regular people" in forever. Will literally wants to buy a swamp...because he can.

A Wrinkle In Time star Storm Reid is teaming up with David Oyelowo for a thriller, titled Only You. In other news, Lamar Odom is ready to tell ALL in a new book. Deets inside…

YBF Teen Storm Reid is making a splash in Hollywood and you should be paying close attention.

Before A Wrinkle In Time hits theaters, Storm Reid has already signed on for her next project. The 14-year-old is teaming up with award winning actor David Oyelowo for a new Blumhouse Productions thriller, titled Only You.  Blumhouse also brought us the record breaking flick Get Out.

Details about the film are being held under wraps, but we know a little bit about it. According to the Hollywood Reporter, David Oyelowo will play a police officer whose family is killed.  His niece (played by Storm) is in danger and there's a plot that includes time travel elements. Sounds interesting.

The SELMA star will serve as an executive producer alongside Blumhouse's Couper Samuelson and Jeanette Volturno, and Jay Martin. Jason Blum is also producing the film. Jacob Estes wrote the script and will also helm the film.

Outside of starring in A Wrinkle In Time, Storm also appeared in 12 Years A Slave and Sleight.

“I have a book coming out, an autobiography about my life. [The book will cover] everything. Everthing. It’s a free-for-all. [I’ll be] open about everything that’s been going on in my life about the past.”

Whoa.

This will certainly be a doozy. The Kardashian-Jenners are probably shaking in their Loubs.

O.J. Simpson is thanking his lucky stars after a Nevada parole board granted him an early release today. More inside…

The Juice is loose!

Orenthal James Simpson will be in a free man in October after he was granted parole by a Nevada parole board today after serving his minimum sentence of 9 years in prison .

The 70-year-old former NFL star was unanimously granted parole for an armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon charges, all stemming from a Las Vegas hotel incident in 2007 that could have landed him in jail for up to 33 years. O.J. needed all four members of the board to give him the greenlight and that’s exactly what he got.

“I’ve done my time,” O.J. said.“I’ve done it as well and as respectfully as I think anyone can.”

The hearing started out lightly with board members laughing and joking with The Juice. At first, it seemed like O.J. was trying to re-try his case, serving up details that deflected any wrong doing on his part rather than apologizing for what went down. He had his eldest daughter Arnelle Simpson and robbery victim Bruce Fromong testify on his behalf, which very likely helped his case.

Eventually, O.J. offered up an apology saying:

“I’ve spent 9 years making no excuses about anything. I am sorry that things turned out the way they did. I had no intent to commit a crime.”

The NFL Hall of Famer was said to have told former prison guard and Guarding The Juice author Jeffrey Felix that if he was ever granted parole, we won’t ever see hear from him again. He won’t do anything, not even get a parking ticket.

O.J. will be released from prison as early as October 1st and he’ll be under very strict conditions. He will reportedly be living in Florida near his kids if the transition to Florida is approved.

There’s talk Blac Chyna’s ex-fling Ferrari is negotiating a contract with “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.” Get those deets, plus check out the explosive new supertrailer for season 4 of “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood” inside…

Blac Chyna may have threatened to sue her former boy toy Ferrari in case he decided to post any nude flicks of her, but that hasn’t stopped him from taking advantage of new opportunities coming his way. And reality TV may be in his future.

It’s reported Ferrari is negotiating a contract with Mona Scott-Young and “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” producers. Yep, dude is looking to make a quick come up from his sexcapades with the Lash Boutique owner.

According to TMZ, a contact has already been drawn up, but he has yet to sign. Why? Well, it’s reported Ferrarri isn’t satisified with what they’re trying to pay him. He feels like “LAHH” producers are lowballing him and he wants more money.

Since Rob Kardashian outed him on social media, he no longer speaks with Chyna and has reportedly moved on to a new chick, which viewers will see play out on the show…IF he signs the deal.

Now, it’s just the waiting game to see if “LAHH” meets his magical number.

Speaking of money...

Ferrari recently revealed in an interview with 107.5 WGCI that Rob offered him a cool $1 million to disappear.

"It's honestly deeper than what people think," he revealed."There was a proposition made. He [Rob] promised a million plus-tax free."

Oh?

Peep the interview below: 

When will it end?

Speaking of "LAHH"...

We’re days away before the season 4 premiere of “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood” and this new extended trailer that just dropped will have you anxious to see the new season ASAP.

In the supertrailer, we see Keyshia Cole struggle with divorce woes with former NBA baller Daniel “Boobie” Gibson. We learn that although they’ve been separated for years, the twosome still live together.

Ray J and his wife Princess Love share the ups and downs as they try to get pregnant. Ray’s ex-girlfriend Teairra Marí has a new man in life and it’s none other than “Love & Hip Hop: New York” star Cisco. Apparently, Teairra’s drinking has gotten out of control and her friends schedule an intervention that she was NOT happy about.

Singer Brooke Valentine (remember her?!) joins in on the shenangians this season where we see her in a bad relationship with a man named Marcus. Then, she meets Keyshia’s ex-Boobie Gibson and ish gets crazy. Fetty Wap’s ex-Alexis Skyy is another newbie this season and she has beef with Fetty Wap’s baby’s mother Masika Kalysha.

And that’s just SOME of what’s going on this season. Check out the full trailer below:

Tyga opens up about the advice he gave to Rob Kardashian about Blac Chyna and explains why he and Kylie Jenner called it quits. Get it all inside…

We haven’t heard much from Tyga, but he’s ready to talk now that he’s a single man.

The “Rack City” rapper stopped by Power 105’s “The Breakfast Club” to dish on his two high-profile relationships with Kylie Jenner and his son’s mother Blac Chyna.

When Tyga found out that Rob Kardashian was dating his child’s mother (he found out online like the rest of us) he said he hit Rob up with some advice to try and warn him about what he was getting into.

“I told homie too,” he spilled. “I told him what the play was. I told him what he was going to have to deal with.”

Shockingly, he said it wasn’t awkward for him that his girlfriend’s brother was dating his ex-girlfriend. However, he felt like Rob wasn’t the type that could handle Chyna. He said Chyna is a good person, but she has a different mentality. She has been through a lot throughout her life and she didn’t have anyone to guide her. He never felt like he needed to intervene because it was not his business.

As for his failed relationship with Kylie Jenner…

Tyga said they decided to end their relationship because things just weren’t working anymore.

“I got love for her, but I’m not in love with her anymore,” he said.

He said after the first year, the honeymoon phase wears off and you start to “notice some sh*t.” He said there were a lot of outside influences that were a huge factor in their breakup.

Since Kylie was WAY younger than him when they got together he admitted his image took a hit and he felt a little forced to make it work. He said he felt his image was going to take a hit anyway for leaving a black girl with his baby for a young white girl.

Tyga tried his hardest to steer clear of answering questions about him being in a "Sunken Place" and the "Get Out" references. However, he did admit he and Kylie started talking when she was 17 (he was 25) and went public with their relationship later.

The west coast rapper said he helped Kylie in the urban world because no one was checking for her before they got together. Charlamagne had to remind him that Kylie also helped him in mainstream media.

As for Kylie’s noticeable transformation, he took credit for that.

“I got with her [Chyna] and she super glowed up. I got with Kylie and she super glowed up.”

Oh? He kept making it clear he is “ahead of the curve.”

While Kylie may have helped him gain mainstream notoriety, he said that it didn’t translate to more money.

Tyga said he and Kylie have been broken up for 7-months and doesn’t feel any type of way that she’s now talking to Travis Scott. He said he knew Kylie was talking to Travis through mutual friends and throwing parties.

As for the stories about his luxury cars being repo'd, he said those were lies and insinuated that those stories were being "planted." He didn't outright say Kris Jenner's name, but yeah.

When asked if the Kardashians ruin black men, he said they are just driven women who aren’t going to let any man come in and change up their lifestyle. Hmph.

Tyga also talked about his “unofficial” deal with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music label, the Lil Wayne/Cash Money drama, his own drama with not being paid by Cash Money (he was the first to come out saying he wasn’t getting paid and said he's owed $12 million), how he felt about Kylie and Kendall’s Biggie & Tupac shirts, living the single life, his money issues, his relationship with Chris Brown and more.

The 2018 Pirelli Calendar is EVERYTHING! Go inside to peep the gorgeous shots of Lupita Nyong’o, Diddy, Naomi Campbell, Whoopi Goldberg and more serving up Alice & Wonderland feels inside…

The Pirelli calendar just keeps getting better and better. And for 2018, it’s going to epic levels of melanin love.

The highly anticipated calendar is taking a trip down the rabbit hole into the magical world of Alice & Wonderland. Shot by British fashion photographer Tim Walker, several YBF celebs work their magic as characters from Lewis Carroll’s fantasy novel “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” styled by British VOGUE editor Edward Enninful.

The calendar was known for showcasing scantily clad supermodels, but it has evolved quite a bit in the last few years. (2016's calendar featured Serena Williams and Ava DuVernay).

It features an all-black ensemble of celebrities, including Lupita Nyong’o, Diddy, Naomi Campbell, Whoopi Goldberg, Djimon Hounsou, RuPaul, Duckie Thot, Lil Yachty, Adut Akech, Adwoa Aboah, Alpha Dia, Sasha Lane, Slick Woods, Thando Hopa Wilson Oryema and Zoe Bedeaux.

This year’s approach is all about inclusiveness and “an unapologetic expression of black pride.” And we’re here for all it.

“I moved mountains to be a part of this,” Diddy told the NY Times.“It is a chance to push social consciousness and break down barriers. For so many years, something like this would not have happened in the fashion world, so it feels like being part of history and playing an active role. I want to lead by example.”

Love it.

Get into our 2018 obsession below: 

Lupita Nyong'o as The Dormouse.

Sean "Diddy" Combs, as The Royal Beheader and Naomi Campbell as The Royal Beheader.

Model Duckie Thot as Alice. 

Whoopi Goldberg as The Royal Duchess.

Djimon Hounsou as The King of Hearts

RuPaul played Queen of Hearts.

Lawyer-Model Thando Hopa played the Princess of Hearts, a role devised for her by Mr. Walker.

Model Adwoa Aboah played Tweedledee.

Model Slick Woods as the Mad Hatter.

Singer/Stylist Zoe Bedeaux as the Caterpillar.

Alpha Dia and King Owusu as playing-card gardeners.

We've got to get our hands on one of these.

Halle Berry is not pregnant and she proves it by chugging a cup of whiskey during a panel at Comic-Con. See the clip, plus how Skai Jackson is fighting bullying inside…

Halle Berry is a G!

The Oscar winner rolled up to the Kingsman: The Golden Circle press line at the Hilton Bayfront during Comic-Con International to join her castmates for a panel about the upcoming action film. 

The mom-of-two kept her look laid back and chill, rocking an oversized army green romper.

Once she made her way to the panel, a reporter asked Halle if the James Bond movie she starred in was more British than Kingsman. She couldn’t decide, so her co-star Channing Tatum chimed in with a dare, so to speak. They dared her to chug the cup of whiskey that sat in front of her...and she accepted.

Check it:

OK Halle!

This clearly shoots down to those pregnancy rumors that popped up when the 51-year-old actress hit the carpet at the 16th Annual Chrysalis Butterfly Ball holding her belly last month. She later hit Instagram confirming that she was not pregnant and that it was just a food baby. Figured.

She also chatted with "EXTRA" this week about the pregnancy rumors spilling, "It happens, you know? You eat too much before an event and you become pregnant.” Ha!

No baby #3 for Halle.

We love to see our young YBF stars using their platforms for a good cause!

It’s been a long time coming, but Diddy has finally brought his girlfriend Cassie on a yacht vacay that he also has his baby's mother on.  Often times brought his ex Kim Porter, but this time it's daughter Chance's birthday. Check out the flicks of the lovebirds, plus shots of Diddy celebrating his daughter with her mom Sarah Chapman inside…

Over the years, Diddy would bring his ex-Kim Porter along with him to vacation on a yacht. It didn’t matter that he was in a relationship with Cassie. Just last Christmas, Diddy and Kim wereluxuriating in St. Barths and Cassie was nowhere to be found.

We’re not saying the Hip Hop mogul has never taken Cassie on vacay, because he has. We’ve just never seen it like this. And it's fabulous.

The lovebirds are currently coasting the waters in the Mediterranean and things got heated between the two last night. Cassie made it a night for Diddy to remember, grinding all on her man.

Check it:

OK Cassie, girl!

Living the GOODT life.  And looking like a snack while doing so.

The yacht vacay also served as a celebration for Diddy's daughter Chance Combs. She turned 11-years-old yesterday!

And her mom Sarah Chapman joined in on the birthday festivities, following a trip to Paris with her daughter.

Soooo…the sex cult accusations seem to be helping R. Kelly and his current tour. Odd. More inside…

This week has been a doozy for R. Kelly.

An exposé was released this week that shed light on the R&B singer’s alleged sex cult he’s running in Chicago and Atlanta. One of the women involved in the alleged “cult,” Joycelyn Savage, spoke out saying she was not being held against her will and that her parents need to chill.

Despite it all, it doesn’t seem like people are concerned with the allegations brought up against the Pied Piper. In fact, the accusations have caused a surge in ticket sales for his current tour.

It’s reported the headlines have given his tour a boost, including high volume of calls about the tour stops. He's set to hit the stage on July 28th in VA Beach and the tour is set to run through October 8th, ending in Ontario, California. Folks at the Chene Park Amphitheatre in Detroit claim they’re getting phone calls about the show left and right.

Interesting.

Meanwhile, Joycelyn’s parents are responding to the video she put online earlier this week, claiming he never set her up with the Grammy Award winner and continues to compare his “sex cult” to slavery.

Peep the clip below:

We wonder if he'll respond to any of these accusations in VA Beach next week....

Meek Mill just released his new album, Wins & Losses, and he’s taking shots at his ex-girlfriend Nicki Minaj and her ex-fiancé Safaree Samuels. Meanwhile, Nicki reunited with Blac Chyna for Yo Gotti’s “Rake It Up” visuals. Everything inside…

Meek Mill is tired of taking “L’s” and he’s issuing a few of his own.

The MMG rapper just released his third studio album Wines & Losses and he’s letting some things off his chest about his past relationship with Nicki Minaj.

According to Meek, he’s the one who broke up with the Head Barb and claims she’s sick over it. On his track “1942 Flows,” he dropped a few disses at his ex and even fires a shot at her ex fiancé Safaree Samuels.

“N*ggas talking shots, can’t stop me, they ain’t real enough/Cut her off, act like she’s dead and it’s killing her,” he rapped.“Try to crucify me like I’m Jesus the way she cross me.”

Meek issued a warning to everyone not even ask him about Nicki anymore. And he clowned Safaree for going on the “Wendy Williams Show” to air out his business.

“Bloggers in the frenzy, truck to the Bentley/Ain’t doing no interviews, I’m busy, n*gga we litty/So when you see me out don’t ask me about no Nicki/F*ck I look like, telling my business on Wendy.”

Take a listen below:

Think Nicki will respond?

Yesterday...

The Philly rapper linked up with reality star/rapper Cardi B before she made her way to HOT 97’s “Queens of NY” yacht party with Remy Ma, Dej Loaf and HOT 97’s female radio personalities.

The “Lick” raptress rocked a blue and white striped Johanna Ortiz peplum top, a white cut-up Alexander Wang skirt and a gunmetal Hanifa clutch.

 

Deja, Reminisce, & Belcalis -I legit had mad fun! Shout out to @hot97 ! "RockTheYacht" was EVERYTHINGGGG! Thank you @tttorrez @jenfrombk @laurastylez #QueensofNewYork #RemyMafia #TeamRemy

Looks like the Queens of NYC had loads of fun.

On the set of a new music video...

Not sure if Nicki will respond since she's still so busy.

She whipped out the pink Lamborghini to “race with Chyna” in Yo Gotti’s new music video “Rake It Up.” Literally.

Blac Chyna was sitting pretty behind a red Lamborghini. Chy couldn’t bring her purple Lambo since her ex-fiance Rob Kardashian snatched it back after he leaked her nudes on social media.

The “Anaconda” rapper reunited with Chyna for the video treatment in Miami recently. If you didn’t know, Chyna played Nicki’s stunt double in Kanye West’s “Monster,” which featured Nicki.

Check out the behind-the-scenes flicks from the video shoot below:

Common and Sarah Jessica Parker were spotted >< close in NYC. Find out why, plus get into Justine Skye’s new summer anthem “Back For More,” featuring Jeremih inside…

So what has Common and Sarah Jessica Parker closer than close? No, it’s not a new relationship. Sarah celebrated 20 years of marriage to her husband this year.

However, there may be an on-screen relationship/romance between the two in an upcoming film titled, Unfollow The Rules. The Chi-town rapper, toting a man bag, and the former "Sex In The City" star were spotted on the set of the new film in NYC today.

Hmm...can't wait to see what rules will be unfollowed in this one....

There aren't many details as of yet, but we'll keep you posted.

Check out Common in Girls Trip in theaters today.

On the music front...

They always want you when you’re finally fed up right? Hmph.

Justine Skye teams up with R&B crooner Jeremih for a new summer anthem titled “Back For More”…because they can’t get enough.

The Hit-Maker and AyoNKeyz-produced track will be featured on her upcoming debut album.

“Hitmaka and AyoNKeyz sent the song over and it spoke volumes to what was really going on with me,” Justine said about the track.“Jeremih is a dope artist. The hook of the song was always meant for a guy to sing and we felt like Jeremih would execute it the best, and he added the perfect vibe to the track"

Check out the lyric video, shot in her hometown of NYC, above.

Alicia Keys seems in be in a bold mood these days.  Neon bold.  Decide if we love her new look inside...

"The Voice" judge Alicia Keys is keeping it bright this Summer '17. Bright AF actually.

The make-up free (well....) singer/actress just showed off her new neon pink, orange and yellow braids on the Gram.  And they're hard to miss.

While braids are becoming a staple once again (of course, they've always been a go-to look for us but they're becoming even more popular these days amongst the celeb set), Alicia decided to turn it up a notch with the multi-color factor.
