Looks like they're totally over their exes, "Basketball Wives" star Malaysia Pargo and  "Jersey Shore" star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro.

In the life of a pop superstar...

Rihanna stays on the run!

The Bajan beauty, who covers the June 2018 issue of VOGUE magazine, touched down at JFK airport from London dressed in her usual 90s threads rocking an oversized denim jacket, Off White sweat pants, her FENTY x PUMA slippers and a Dolce & Gabbana bag.

In the VOGUE cover story, the “Work” singer opened up about why she and her former homie-lover-friend Drake are no longer friends. She also dished on motherhood, her Saudi billionaire boyfriend and she gave us a bomb makeup tutorial. Oh, and her spread was H.O.T.! 

Catch up HERE.

Coming down the pipeline, Rih will be releasing her Fenty lingerie line, dubbed Savage x Fenty, on May 11th. Have your coins ready ladies. Y'all know it's going to sell out fast.

Another YBF star out and about...

With temperatures heating up a bit, Willow Smith took advantage of the warmer weather in NYC. The singer/actress was spotted in a black crop top walking through SoHo Friday afternoon headed to the Apple Store with a friend.

The 17-year-old hit the streets following her mother Jada Pinkett Smith’s candid interview with Vulture about her upcoming Facebook Watch Show, “Red Table Talk.” The show also features Willow and Jada’s mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris.

The Hollywood actress, who recently joined Instagram, said she was shocked to learn Willow’s first expose to sex was when she accidently walked in on her and her husband Will Smith. And neither of them knew.

“I realized she walked in on Will and I. We were doing the sex show, I was like, ‘What was your introduction to sex?’” Jada told Vulture. “She was like, ‘Well, you know, me walking in on you and Dad.’ I had no idea!” she screamed.

“How did that happen?! I was like, ‘Lord have mercy, what did you see? Thank God I have some therapy fund put aside for you.’ It wasn’t funny in the moment.” Luckily, there was still some mystery intact. “I had never heard that, and she said that what she got from that was that she walked into a private space. She was like, ‘That’s private time.’ She said she didn’t really see anything. But she knew she had just walked in on a very private moment.”

Lordt.

Also in the Big Apple...

Tracee Ellis Ross is a working woman on the run. And she’s making her rounds in a fashionable way. Of course.

The Golden Globe winner served up springtime fresh in all white topped with a pink blazer, nude booties, and a crossbody Balenciaga bag as she made her way inside of her NYC hotel.

Natural beauty.

The “black-ish” star is making moves in the Big Apple before the interview of a lifetime.

It’s reported Tracee will interview forever First Lady Michelle Obama today in Los Angeles as part of the United State of Women Summit.

The conference will bring together a number of women leaders to discuss political and social issues, including former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth moderating a conversation with actress Yara Shahidi; the co-founder of police reform organization Campaign Zero, Brittany Packnett; and Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.).

#BlackGirlMagic!

Another FAB chick in these streets...

"NCIS: Los Angeles" star Nia Long kicked off her YBF week with a nice dinner at Delilah in West Hollywood. Photogs caught her waiting for the valet on her way home.

The "Atlanta" star was spotted outside of the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" studio before an appearance.

The YBF actress plays Domino with an unusual super power. Apparently, her super power is "luck" and there are jokes about whether its a "real superpower" or an "imaginary" one.

"She's lucky," Zazie told Jimmy Kimmel during her recent late night appearance. He asked her if her super power is the best power to have and here's what she said: "It is," she said. "I think it serves you kind of in all ways. You're just kind of in a way better at everything, everything just works better [...] I never really get like hurt cause I'm just sort of, it just works out."

Colin Kaepernick’s mother shared a tribute to her son that has us tearing up during VH1’s “Dear Mama” event. See the touching clip, plus flicks of Zendaya, Yara Shahidi, Naomi Campbell and more at Tiffany & Co.’s “Paper Flowers” event inside…

It’s almost that time of year again where we shower our mothers with love and gratitude for everything they do.

Right before Mother’s Day, VH1 hosted its annual “Dear Mama: A Love Letter to Moms” event to honor mothers with celebrity guests paying tribute to the women who have shaped their success. “black-ish” actress Anthony Anderson returned as host for the third time alongside “Power” star LaLa Anthony for the celebration of motherhood inside The Theatre at Ace Hotel in downtown L.A.

Former NFL baller Colin Kaepernick hit the stage to honor his mom Teresa Kaepernick during the event, however, Teresa turned the tables with a heartfelt message to her courageous son.

The NFL mom shared with the audience how she much admires her son’s caring and patient spirit. She showered him with praise and made sure he knew she appreciates his selfless acts, putting his dreams on hold for the greater good.

“You were kind and patient with those who needed help since the time you were a very young child and you’ve always been very persistent and tenacious in pursuit of anything that you desired, but I admire that trait in you as well because it’s what took you to fulfillment of your dream to be an NFL quarterback,” she told her son.

“When you see injustice in this world, you are not the kind of man who sits back and hopes that someone else will deal with it even though it may mean sacrificing your dreams,” she concluded.

Aww!

See the touching moment below:

.@Kaepernick7's mother, Teresa, shares with us why she is so proud of Colin. And we're right there with you!!

At another event...

Come through high fashion!

Zendaya looked absolutely STUNNING when she popped up at the Tiffany & Co. Paper Flowers event and Believe In Dreams campaign launch in NYC. The Hollywood starlet wowed in a dramatic baby blue DICE KAYEK puff sleeve dress paired with polka dot Christian Louboutin pumps. She always gets it right!

Tiffany & Co.’s artistic director Reed Krakoff (above) threw the soiree to celebrate his first jewelry line for the brand, dubbed "Paper Flowers." And the decor certainly fit the theme. Paper flowers were everywhere. 

"Grown-ish" starlet Yara Shahidi rolled up on the scene in a black Prade dress. Simple, yet elegant.

Today, Yara is hosting a panel with former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth at the United State of Women Summit in L.A. today.

Rapper ASAP Ferg, who is featured in Tiffany’s latest ad campaign alongside actress Elle Fanning, hit the stage to perform a modern day spin on “Moon River,” the theme from Breakfast at Tiffany’s with Elle.

Tia Mowry Hardrict and her hubby Cory Hardrict just welcomed baby # 2, a baby girl. Go inside to see how emotional dad got during the delivery, plus the baby’s arrival announcement inside…

She’s finally here!

Feels like Tia Mowry Hardrict has been pregnant forever since announcing she was pregnant with baby #2 back in November. Now, her 2nd pregnancy journey is all over and she’s currently bonding with her new baby.

Tia and her hubby Cory Hardrict, who recently celebrated their 10-year anniversary, welcomed their baby girl yesterday, which was also Cinco de Mayo and the baby's official due date. 

We learned Baby Hardrict came into this world when auntie Tamera Mowry Housley made the official announcement. On Instagram Stories, she wrote, “She's here!! Can't wait for the world to see her. She's beautiful."

Right before Tamera announced she was here, Cory took to Instagram to share his excitement. He was fighting back tears as his baby girl was making her grand entrance: 

Aww!

Baby Hardrict will join her big brother, 6-year-old Cree Hardrict, who celebrates a birthday next month. The couple ties the knot in 2008 and welcomed Cree in 2011.

No word on the new baby's name just yet, but "The Oath" star dished to TheYBF.com that their baby's name will "have a name with strength and power." He revealed having a daughter has him letting his guard down more and showing his softer side. He wasn't lying when he told us his eyes water up just thinking about his baby girl. Aww! #DadGoals!

It's been quite the journey for the couple to get pregnant with baby #2 as Tia battles infertility issues. Tia and Cory had been trying to have another baby, but couldn’t get pregnant again. The 39-year-old actress, who struggles with endometriosis, ended up feeling discouraged that she would never get pregnant again.

However, she remained positive and things eventually worked in her and Cory's favor.

“I didn’t let my infertility issues define me or define what my goals were and what I wanted out of life,” she told PEOPLE. “We did try for a long time. It was hard. But I didn’t give up.”

Cory also remained optimistic while trying for baby #2. He told us:

“I just keep it in prayer,” he said about Tia’s fertility complications. “I pray about everything and just know what’s meant to be will be and will work out. I wasn’t worried because I knew one day it would happen if it were supposed to. It affected me, but it kind of didn’t because I knew it would all work out. “

We know both Tia and Cory are so glad they didn't give up. Now, they're a family of four.

Congrats!

Before giving birth to Baby Hardrict, Tia shared what she packed in her hospital bag in preparation for the baby's delivery for her "Tia Mowry Quick Fix" video series. Peep the clip above.

Jordin Sparks is back to work after giving birth to her son 3 days ago. See her post-baby glow inside...

No days off! Even after having a baby. No one would blame her for taking some time off, but we guess she just couldn't wait.

Jordin Sparks is taking the term “super mom” to new levels. The “American Idol” alum made her first red carpet appearance literally 3 days after giving birth to her son, Dana Isaiah Thomas Jr., with husband Dana Isaiah. And chick glowed with gorgeousness.

The “No Air” singer attended the premiere of her upcoming movie, Show Dogs, at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood yesterday. The 28-year-old singer showed off her post-baby bod in a floral Saloni dress, Schutz sandals, and Melinda Maria jewelry.

Baby DJ was born May 2nd at 9:04pm PST at the Natural Birth Center & Women’s Wellness in L.A. He weighed in at 8lbs 4.5oz and measured 21.5 inches, according to PEOPLE. The singer announced she had tied the knot to Dana in July. Six weeks later, we learned the couple was expecting.

 

He's here & we couldn't be more in love!!! Go DJ! @people

A post shared by Jordin Sparks (@jordinsparks) on May 5, 2018 at 12:10pm PDT

The first-time mom explained the birthing process was "miraculously beautiful” and she shared how her hubby pitched in during the delivery saying,"Dana caught him with my midwife, Simona, and when he handed him to me, I was absolutely overwhelmed with joy. He was and is everything we imagined,” she gushed.

She said she’s feeling good and can’t wait for everything that motherhood has in store for her.

"I'm feeling pretty good! I am so grateful for my husband and amazing team at the Natural Birthing Center. I don't think I would be feeling this great without them! The joy, laughter, scrapes and bruises…I can't wait for it all!"

 

Can’t. Get. Enough. So in love.

A post shared by Dana Isaiah (@_danaisaiah) on May 5, 2018 at 4:19pm PDT

While on the carpet, Jordin chopped it up with Entertainment Tonight where she gushed more about her “perfect” son.

"I'm really good. I'm sore, but good. He's here," she shared. "It's just fun to stare at him. His name is DJ, named after daddy, and the moment was incredible! To finally have him in my arms and stare at him. He's really here. He made it. This is what we've been waiting for. He's just so perfect." "He's really, really cute. He's really calm, but he does have some lungs," she joked. "Maybe he'll be a singer."

Aww!

 

If you only knew how much daddy loves you!

A post shared by Dana Isaiah (@_danaisaiah) on May 5, 2018 at 1:19pm PDT

Jordin revealed her husband and her mid-wife were the only people in the room with her when she gave birth. Since she gave birth at a birthing center, she didn’t have to stay very long after having the baby, just a few hours actually.

"We did a birthing center," she explained. "We stayed for a little while. We checked his weight and stuff and then [we were like], 'We're going to go home and sleep.' So we left within four or five hours."

While she’s literally just days into motherhood, Jordin said she felt ready to attend the movie premiere.

"I was actually expecting to be immobile. I was expecting all of that and when I woke up the next day I was like, 'Oh, I can get out of bed. I'm ok,'" she shared. "I mean, I want to be careful. I don't want to end up in the hospital, but at the same time I actually do feel really good."

"I knew about the premiere a couple months ago but I completely spaced," she explained. "Then they were like, 'Hey, the premiere is on Saturday. How are you feeling?' and I was like, 'Oh, yeah. I can actually go to that,'" adding, "I'm excited to get back to him already though. I've only been gone for like 40 minutes."

Glad she and baby are doing well.

Donald Glover was tapped to host and perform for “Saturday Night Live” last night. And let’s just say he served up one of the blackest episodes yet. Get into his hilarious Kanye West skit, plus his new video “This Is America” that has folks comparing him to Yeezy inside…

It was another successful night of laughs for last night’s episode of “Saturday Night Live.”

“Atlanta” star/creator Donald Glover served as both host and musical guest (under his rap moniker Childish Gambino) for last night’s hilarious episode and he killed it from beginning to end. His skits were beyond hilarious, his opening monologue shed light on his past attempts at auditioning for the show, and he rocked the stage with performances where he was introduced by actress Zoe Kravitz and actor Daniel Kaluuya.

There was one skit that stood out from all the rest and it had us in tears while watching. “SNL” took full advantage of the controversial week Kanye West put us all through with his “slavery is a choice” commentary. The Kanye skit was inspired by the recently released horror move A Quiet Place.

Quick backstory if you haven’t seen the film…

The characters in A Quiet Place had to remain quiet and couldn't make a sound as they went about their daily routines to keep from being eaten by monsters. The monsters can’t see them, but they can hear them. And once anyone makes a sound, the monsters swoop in and take the person making noise away.

In the “SNL” clip, Donald and group of friends attempt to stay quiet as they make their way through the woods, but that task became difficult once Donald came across Kanye West’s recent tweets about Trump. As he shares the nonsense Ye is tweeting (the signed Make America Great Again hat, attending Chrissy Teigen’s baby shower and his new “poopity scoop” track “Lift Yourself”), his friends are being captured by the monsters due to their loud reactions to the tweets.

Everyone dies and Donald is left alone in a bunker, listening to “Lift Yourself” as video of his rant, where he explains why he had liposuction done, is displayed on the television where he made the controversial comments about slavery. Soon after, the monster nabs Donald too.

In another sketch, Donald flexed his acting skills as a a non-musical sketch, lawyer defending Jurassic World in a wrongful death suit.

Check it:

In his opening monologue...

The actor/rapper reminisced about his unsuccessful attempts at joining the show's cast. Check it out above.

In another skit, Donald joins forces with Kenan Thompson and Chris Redd for a rap group Migos parody that they dubbed "Friendos." The video treatment was stopped several times as the guys tried to work out their issues with one another in group therapy sessions. Rapper ASAP Rocky even made a cameo at the end. Check it above.

In "Lando's Summit," Donald calls out Hollywood's lack of using black characters in Star Wars movies. Donald appeared as his upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story character, a young Lando Calrissian. Peep the clip above.

For another funny skit, Donald plays a new intern pitching captions for Barbie's Instagram account. Get your laugh on above.

In "Dirty Talk," Donald played a boyfriend who tries to get freaky with his girlfriend in bed, but it's obvious she doesn't understand how talking dirty works. She said the most inappropriate things in bed like reminding him his father is dead. She even did a Bill Cosby impersonation. See the clip above.

For his last skit, Donald and Kenan played inmates working as customer service representatives from prison. Ha! Check it above.

And here's a clip of Childish Gambino rocking the stage:

While Mr. Glover was hosting the show...

The rapper/actor/writer released a new video titled "This Is America," that he also debuted on "SNL" last night.

“This Is America,” directed by Hiro Murai, tells the story of how a black person can die in America and everyone just goes back to being carefree. We see young folks busting out popular dance moves while police violence takes place in the background with a reference to the 2015 Charleston mass shooting in South Carolina.

It’s some truth serum we all need to see. Take a look above.

Now, Donald is being praised as the “genius” Kanye West wishes he was. Peep the tweets:

.@donaldglover is the genius @kanyewest thinks he is. #ThisIsAmerica#SNL

— Mariana F. (@LaRuca3) May 6, 2018

This might sound weird but Donald Glover is the man we need instead of the eccentric Mr West. Kanye really needs to go cool off.

Thank you Donald Glover! You are a genius! Don't change one bit!

— Olamidé Adédeji (@OlamideAdedeji) May 6, 2018

@kanyewest, I’mma let you finish but... This is what a real artist looks like. @donaldglover#ThisIsAmericapic.twitter.com/XxhFa9WfJW

— Stephanie (@SGaleReport) May 6, 2018

@donaldglover has so graciously shown brother @kanyewest what “free thought” looks like. Appreciate both contributions, but.. #ThisIsAmerica

— Quinn (@quinnmusic) May 6, 2018

Donald Glover’s “This is America” song and video is our reward for surviving Kanye West’s week of white supremacy.

The 144th Kentucky Derby races were in full effect yesterday and several YBF celebs stepped out in their Sunday’s best. We’ve got fly flicks of Diddy, his daughters, Tina Lawson, Bobby Brown and more inside…

Rain wasn’t going to stop the 144th Kentucky Derby held at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky yesterday. Despite the gloomy weather, folks still got all dressed up in their festive hats and tailored suits to soak in the horse racing fun.

Beyonce’s mother Tina Lawson and her hubby Richard Lawson were amongst the Derby attendees yesterday, serving up #CoupledomGoals as usual.

“Me and my boo on the Red carpet at the Derby!!,” Mama Tina captioned on Instagram. 

Werk! Mama Tina never misses an opportunity to slay. We see where Bey gets it from.

We all know Ms. Tina loves posting videos on social media and yesterday was no exception. She got her hubby involved in her social media postings:

After tying the knot on a Royal Caribbean cruise to the Bahamas a few weeks ago, Star Jones was all smiles with her new husband Ricardo Lugo. The cruise served as a double celebration for the lawyer/producer as she also celebrated her 56th birthday.

Star, who formerly co-hosted “The View,” is a Derby Day regular and she always serves up Derby fashions and extravagent hats. 

 

Heyyyyy. Starting off our #trifecta #kentuckyderby weekend right with @ricardolugochicago at #kentuckyoaks day. My girl @attitudesbyangie killed my hat for another year!

This year, Diddy brought his daughters – Jessie, D’Lila and Chance Combs – along as his dates for the Kentucky Derby. And they slayed! The little moguls-in-training served up YBF kiddie cuteness in their dresses, hats and gloves.

LOVE this candid shot.

The record producer caught up with singer Bobby Brown to chop it up during the races.

The New Edition singer had his wife, Alicia Etheredge on his arm during the festivities.

"black-ish" star Anthony Anderson and his beautiful wife Alvina Stewart as his date for the Derby fun.

By the way, Anthony co-hosted VH1's "Dear Mama" event a few days ago (alongside LaLa Anthony) where Bobby Brown hit the stage for a performance and Diddy was tapped to present. See the red carpet flicks HERE.

"Dear Mama" airs tomorrow, May 7th at 9/8c on VH1.

Professional boxer Laila Ali, daughter of the late Muhammad Ali, made her way to Churchill Downs for her very first Kentucky Derby during a "workcation."

 

I’m at my first Kentucky Derby! Unfortunately it’s raining! I came to shoot a piece for We Need to Talk on @cbssports. I had my hat made locally at Dee’s~actually have two, maybe I will switch my hat out later! #kentuckyderby #kentuckyderbyhats #derbyhats #deeshats

Denver Broncos player Von Miller hit up the Derby in his signature style, rocking a coral and light blue plaid suit with a skinny blue tie and tan sneakers. He topped his look off with a straw hat accessorized with a red rose.

While at the Derby, Tina whipped out her phone to capture a few videos. Sitting with her husband Richard, Anthony Anderson and "Empire" star Terrence Howard (along with their wives), the "black-ish" star started cracking jokes, but Richard didn't seem amused by it:

Janet Jackson is ready to set ish off for the 2018 Billboard Music Awards where she will receive the Icon Award AND she’s set to hit the stage. Get the deets on her Billboard Music Awards appearance, plus the added dates to her “State of the World” Tour inside…

This is going to be Janet Jackson’s year.

2018 is more like a comeback year for Janet Jackson after she canceled her "State of the World" tour in 2016 to have a baby. The singing legend welcomed a beautiful baby boy, Eissa Al Mana, in January 2017, then she filed for divorce from her son’s father/ billionaire Wissam Al Mana months later.

Now that all of that is behind her, she’s back to the music and she’s gearing up for a epic comeback.

The Pop legend will be honored with the prestigious ICON Award during the 2018 Billboard Music Awards. And rightfully so. She has won 10 out of 18 nominations between 1990 and 2001.

She’s also treating fans to a performance, her first televised performance in nine years. Y’all know what that means? She’s about to go all out. We are SO here for it.

Kendrick Lamar is tied with pop singer Bruno Mars (and singer Ed Sheeran) with 15 nominations! Drake is up for 9 nominations, while Cardi B is in the running for 8 nominations, including Top Artist.

The 2018 Billboard Music Awards, hosted by Kelly Clarkson, will broadcast live from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, May 20 at 8pm EST on NBC.

In other Janet news...

Janet Jackson is going to be mad busy this summer. She announced she will be extending her "State of the World" Tour by adding 11 dates to her North American concert series.

The newly announced U.S. dates will kick off July 11 in Austin, TX and visit cities across the country including Cincinnati, Hershey, Raleigh, Miami, and more. Tickets are on sale now at Live Nation. These dates are in addition to her previously announced headlining dates including the Essence Festival, Panorama Festival, and Outside Lands. See the full list of dates here.

An Angela Simmons and Romeo Miller re-link up is super possible, at  least it seems that way in the new season of "Growing Up Hip Hop."  We've got the exclusive sneak peek at season 4 inside, which also includes Boogie Dash's intervention.

We've never been mad at a Romeo & Angela link up.  Now that they're both single, it looks like it could happen (again).  The twosome are good friends, but are clearly getting a lil boo'd up in he upcoming season of "Growing Up Hip Hop."

Angela opens up for the first time about a devastating breakup and facing public scrutiny. She says she can't get away from Romeo OR Bow Wow, but it's Romeo who is right there to make it all better...

Yeah, it could all be for the cameras.  But even our jaded-to-publicity-stunts selves can see a spark.  And we're kinda feeling it.

Also on season 4, Dame Dash's son Boogie hasn't controlled his drinking, so his friends - mainly Briana Latrise (Mary J. Blige’s stepdaughter) - are staging an intervention.  Those same friends have their own drama, including getting out of their famous parents' shadow. And dealing with a surprise pregnancy.

This Season, Vanessa Simmons yearns to be closer to her sister, Angela, but new business opportunities lead to a dramatic, sibling rivalry.

Romeo Miller (Master P’s son) finds himself chasing after the ‘one that got away’ to running to New Orleans with his pops to save an incarcerated family member who goes on a hunger strike! Meanwhile, Damon “Boogie” Dash’s (Damon Dash’s son) addiction spirals out of control when his little sister’s life becomes endangered.

With her checkered family history, Kristinia DeBarge (James DeBarge’s daughter) musters the courage to meet with her long-lost cousin Kyndall Ferguson (El DeBarge’s daughter) while she plans a life changing move to Vegas to further her music career. Tyran Moore (Sandra “Pepa” Denton’s son) comes to visit his mother to mend broken ties, and unleashes years of pent up resentment growing up under her fame in family therapy.

Oh, and there's a shotgun wedding in Vegas that shocks everybody!

Season 4 of "GUHH" premieres Thursday, May 24 at 9pm ET/PT on WE TV.

Blac Chyna's mom Tokyo Toni is doing the absolute MOST by dragging her daughter online. Meanwhile, it's being reported Chyna isn't raking in as much money for gigs due to her not being connected to a Kardashian and there are also rumors that YBN Almighty Jay broke up with Chy. All the deets inside...

Somebody grab Tokyo Toni's phone! She's blasting her daughter Blac Chyna and she isn't cutting any corners. She's telling EVERYTHING, at least, according to her.

Tokyo Toni is airing out her frustrations about her the way her daughter is treating her. The 46-year-old former stripper has posted up a series of videos and Instagram captions detailing how her daughter no longer supports her and how she hasn't seen her grandbabies, King Cairo Stevenson and Dream Kardashian, in two years.

"Two years in a row. I'm going on my second year of not seeing my grands," Tokyo says in a video. "Yes, they are her children. And I'm not the only person that deals with this sh*t. Hollywood is so demon-filled, it changes people. We was just chilling. I was just on [her] reality show."

She claims the Lashed Boutique owner has "lost her way" since becoming famous.

In one post, Tokyo details how her mother wanted her to get an abortion when she found out she was pregnant with Chyna. She explains how she ran away for a few months to wait until it was too late to have an abortion, so her mother couldn't force her to get one. Now, she's saying she wishes she had listened to her mother. Damn. Tokyo also threatened to release a video on her birthday (May 11th) that could "ruin" her.

ReL life shit is what I deal with!!!!!!! Yes I have income and yes I had $45,000 saved just before my divorce and just before those people conned me out of my home!! I did not call China or anyone and ask them for furniture or food I got it myself working through Uber and lift. Due to the drama with the landlords lift and Uber are now suspended because of my criminal record given to me by these people. So now I’m only stuck with my store and a few other little gaggy things I have going on. I still give back to the community I still give the shoes off of my feet all day so I only have three pair. I do so much for others that I can be dressed good in Fendi- Why???????? People that I know are celebrities they don’t use their platform for anything but obsessing over themselves selfie’s. None of these bitches celebrity hoes ever give back!!!!! As long as I’ve been breathing I’ve been the same. My daughter cannot get one person to collaborate her story. She don’t even know the name of my mothers church or a pastor so we know she didn’t raise you. Wow rage war against me!?? Is it because I don’t like the illuminati? Is it because I’m beautiful and useful and she looks like me and I don’t look like her she’s not the original I am? You will be surprise what goes on in peoples heads even your own children. So now my future has changed I no longer trust her. I have to now figure out the rest of my life plans because there will be no children to help me walk with my cane!! I wonder what reason did she give my grandson as to why Graham Graham have not been around!!!!!! SHE HAS HIRT ME FOR THEEEE LAST TIME!!! She has lied to her friends about me because they told me. I held that shit for so long that I can no longer hold it. She allowed her friend treasure to talk shit about me her mother on line knowing damn well I would’ve shoved a pistol down her fucking throat. Thank God those days are over.

All this drama with her mom right before Mother's Day. Sheesh!

That's not all Chy is currently dealing with...

It's being reported the stripper turned social media maven's hosting gig price has plummeted since cutting ties with the Kardashian Klan.  It's all thanks to her calling it quits with her daugher's dad Rob Kardashian.

According to TMZ, the Lashed Boutique owner, who has supposedly been reaching out to promoters for place to host her birthday celebrations, once made $30k to host in a club.

Now, she's struggling to get $7,000 for a gig. The site claims to have spoken to several promoters who claim they aren't paying as much for Chyna because she's "not relevant anymore." Also, dating an 18-year-old doesn't help any.

 

The numbers are staggering -- BC went from booking gigs that paid her up to $30k not too long ago in her heyday with Rob & Co. ... to now struggling to snag more than $7k per gig.

That's what several top club promoters in Cali told us, and it gets worse. One promoter said he wouldn't pay her a penny more than $5k because Chyna without Rob is like Sonny without Cher.

A top Miami promoter said the max he'd shell out is $2k because she's not relevant anymore.

Speaking of her dating life....

Chyna's boo YBN Almighty Jay posted some comments on social media that had folks wondering if they had broken up. While Zoey Dollaz recorded a video on Instagram Live, Jay popped up in the chat providing possible details into his love life. He wrote, "I cut her off bro," and, "Im a free man."

Naturally, folks assumed he was talking about Chyna. However, it seems he's already responding to the "rumors" he started himself:

 

 

A post shared by YBN Almighty Jay (@ybnalmightyjay) on May 6, 2018 at 9:12pm PDT

He posted a picture of himself and Chyna with a heart emoji and lock emoji in the caption. We assume this is his way of saying they're still together. Hmph.

Meek Mill is living his best life since being released from jail almost two weeks ago. See flicks of the rapper celebrating his birthday in Miami, plus get the deets on his new Amazon docuseries about criminal justice reform inside...

Over the last few years or so, Meek Mill has been catching "Ls" left and right. However, he's winning right now.

After being released from jail almost two weeks ago, the MMG rapper is enjoying being a free man. Luckily for him, he was released from jail weeks before his 31st birthday, so he got the chance to party it up with his homies verses exchanging commissary in jail.

After Meek Mill's lawyers appealed to the Philadelphia supreme court to get his case to qualify for bail status, Meek became a free man until his probation violation case is heard in full.

The Court overruled Judge Genece Brinkley, saying "the alleged corrupt police officer who served as a "critical witness" in Meek's original gun and drugs case as a crucial point in their decision to order his bail." Since prosecutors were not opposed to him being released, they granted Meek's team's wishes. He was released as he appeals his decade old conviction and probation violations.

Last night, the "Dreams & Nightmares" rapper celebrated his 31st birthday with his homies at Komodo in Miami.

And, as you can see, he was super geeked during the celebration.

 

Thanks @davegrutman For last night at Komodo! Last night was a good night

A post shared by Meek Mill (@meekmill) on May 7, 2018 at 10:34am PDT

Before his release, celebs were very vocal about supporting Meek and his "unjust" jail stint. Since being released, Meek has somehow became the poster child for criminal justice reform. And since he's the new face of the movement, it's only right he gets his own series.

The Philly rapper has teamed up with Amazon Prime Video for a six-part documentary series that will follow his fight for exoneration while exposing flaws in the criminal justice system, according to Deadline.

The site reports:

The untitled docuseries will put the spotlight on Meek’s life, giving unprecedented access to the star’s life, career, and criminal justice odyssey, while demonstrating the negative effects long tail probation is having on urban communities of color. The series is expected to premiere in 2019 exclusively on Prime Video.

Each hour-long episode will chronicle Meek and his supporters as they attempt to uncover the different facets of corruption that kept him under the thumb of Philadelphia’s criminal justice system for over a decade while revealing his life post-incarceration. The series will also explore his childhood trauma that led to his career as a musician.

No surprise here...Jay Z will be executive producing alongside Eli Holzman, Aaron Saidman, Paul and Isaac Solotaroff. Hov spoke out several times during Meek's incarceration to shed light on the injustices black men face with the criminal justice system.

Also...

Meek Mill sat down with Dateline's Lester Holt for his first post-prison interview where he talked about his new intentions as a free man.

"I feel like God put me in a position to be a voice for the voiceless. This is way more bigger than me," Meek told Lester.

The special shed light on Meek's upbringing and his struggle with the criminal justice system since he was a teenager. It takes viewers inside his emotional journey to freedom while talking to his family and legal experts about what the contentious case could mean for criminal justice reform in the United States.

 

Can’t thank you enough @lesterholt @danslepian @datelinenbc for not only showcasing my case but turning the spotlight on the hundreds of thousands of other cases that have issues with the criminal justice system. #JutsiceReform #VoiceoftheVoiceless

The University of Florida has issued an apology to the graduating students who were dragged off stage during their commencement ceremony. Find out why, plus learn about North Carolina teen Jasmine Harrison slaying the pre-college game inside...

The University of Florida has come under fire after black students spoke out about how they were manhandled as they celebrated receiving their college degree. Literally, every time a black student hit the stage and did anything other than walk a straight line, a white faculuty member grabbed them and dragged them off stage.

The students explained they were celebrating their big feat by strolling, a tradition among black fraternities and sororities. Once video of the usher manhandling the students hit the internet, it became a trending topic on social media platforms.

UF student Oliver Telusma, who is receiving his bachelor’s in political science and a member of the Beta Sigma chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, talked to the Gainesville Sun about how humilating it was for him:

“I had just started … and he picked me up and turned me around, which I thought was kind of embarrassing and degrading to be handled in that manner,” he said. “It was just really uncalled for, especially for anyone not martially trained to do that.”

We agree. Why is he even touching them in the first place?

UF student Christopher Garcia-Wilde, who graduated Saturday with a bachelor’s degree in microbiology, noticed when some students took longer than usual, they were rushed, but when black students took too long, they were pushed aggressively.

“Both of my friends wanted to celebrate by strolling, which is a cultural tradition in historically black fraternities and sororities,” he said. ”.... It’s a tradition to stroll at graduation if you choose to, and people have been doing this for years.” After seeing how his friends were being handled, he decided not to stroll and just held up his fist instead:

“I was actually too afraid because I saw him shove other people,” he said. “But my two friends who graduated with me really wanted to do it, so they tried. They both were pushed and one of them got an entire bear hug.”

Really, sir? Was all of this necessary?! We could see if they were up there flipping the bird, but they were simply celebrating all of the hard work they put in over the last 4+ years to graduate.

Now, University President W. Kent Fuchs is apologizing for the staffer’s “inappropriately aggressive” conduct and he said he's personally reaching out to the students who were pulled off stage:

During one of this weekend’s commencement ceremonies, we were inappropriately aggressive in rushing students across the stage. I personally apologize, and am reaching out to the students involved. (1/2)

— W. Kent Fuchs (@PresidentFuchs) May 6, 2018

The practice has been halted for all future ceremonies, and we will work to make sure all graduating students know we are proud of their achievements and celebrate with them their graduation. (2/2)

— W. Kent Fuchs (@PresidentFuchs) May 6, 2018

However, this apology isn't enough for some folks. People have been pulling receipts of President Fuchs laughing as the students were being pulled off stage:

Oop!

We wonder how the President plans to "make it up" to the students.

In good news...

This young lady is #BlackGirlMagic personified!

17-year-old Jasmine Harrison, a high school senior from Greensboro, North Carolina, has been accetped into 113 colleges and universites! CONGRATS!

The college bound student, who's expected to graduate with a 4.0 GPA, has also been awarded more than $4.5 million in merit-based scholarships to boot. YASSSS! Get ALL the coins!

“It was overwhelming at first because there were so many options,” she told the New York Times.“I could go anywhere, and discover who I am.”

However, this young, black and fabulous student will experience higher learning at a historically black college!  Jasmine will be attending Bennett College in Greensboro on a full scholarship to study biology. We guess she said y'all can keep those Ivy League schools!

Applying to over 113 schools can be very costly, but Jasmine was able to apply to them all for just $135 with help from mom and her school, The Academy at Smith. Another example that anything is possible if you do the work, and when family & school do their jobs too.

Congrats Jasmine!!!

LIFETIME is gearing up to bring two new projects that will chronicle the alleged sexual misconduct/abuse by R. Kelly. Get those deets, plus hear a secret conversation between the singer and his STD accuser after she revealed she was suing inside...

LIFETIME is giving a voice to all of the women who have come forth accusing R&B singer R. Kelly of abuse.

The network is relaunching its public-affairs campaign "Stop Violence Against Women" to help raise awareness of abusive behaviors. And R. Kelly will be the first subject they explore.

LIFETIME is currently developing a documentary series and a movie that will focus on the women who claim they have been abused by the "Step In The Name Of Love" singer. We've all heard the rumors in the past, but ish hit the fan when a whole exposé about Kellz running a "sex cult" was released. The Grammy Award winner has a history of preying on women, and now, it's about to be brought into the spotlight like never before.

“What we’ve seen — in the last year in particular — is the tremendous power of women’s voices when given the opportunity to share their truth,” said Brie Miranda Bryant, SVP Unscripted Development and Programming at Lifetime. “But there are important stories still untold, stories of bravery, resilience and defiance that demand to be heard. This is one of those stories.”

For the first time, the accusers and people from Kelly's inner circle are coming forward to share new allegations about his "sexual, mental and physical abuse." Hmm...we wonder if his former publicist, lawyer or assistant will be featured in either of the projects since they all recently jumped ship.

Both of Lifetime’s Kelly projects are executive produced by Kreativ’s Karsberg and Jesse Daniels. Dream Hampton is an executive producer on the documentary series, along with Brie Miranda Bryant from Lifetime. Ilene Kahn Power serves as an executive producer on the movie and Barbara Marshall is writing the script.

No word yet on when these projects will be released, but when they do, will you be watching?

In other Pied Piper news...

The woman who claims R. Kelly gave her an STD (herpes) when she was 19-years-old (last year) just released a recording of a telephone conversation between her and Kellz recently.

The 20-year-old woman, who remains anonymous and plans to sue, secretly recorded the "I'm A Flirt" singer while talking to him on the phone where he's blaming her for all of the STD drama. Excuse me?

Apparently, she was trying to get him to confess about their alleged "relationship" when she was 19, but he was more concerned with her knowing that SHE is the problem. He wanted her to fly to Chicago for a face-to-face conversation, but he was really particular with his words. He told her he felt like her parents were the ones who put her up to filing the lawsuit when all he was trying to do was teach her "life lessons." UGH. Take a listen above.

The unidentified woman's lawyer spoke out and told TMZ, "We remain committed to stopping Kelly from continuing to abuse vulnerable black women and taking the necessary steps to hold him accountable for his actions in the past."

We assume she'll be filing that suit in 3...2...

We're not sure what Wendy Williams is up to, but it sounds like she's launching a symapthy campaign for Kellz.

OK, not exactly, but these tears she has for R. are odd, at best.  Today, Wendy spent Hot Topics crying after revealing R. Kelly told her he couldn't read, write or add. Peep the clip above and tell us what you think.

2 Chainz pulled a quick one and proposed to his longtime love Kesha Ward on the red carpet at the 2018 Met Gala. And we can confirm it's 100% real. Get the exclusive inside..

Issa proposal!

When Rapper 2 Chainz hit the carpet at the 2018 Met Gala inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC tonight, he had a special surprise for his longtime partner Kesha Ward.

As the couple made their way up the steps, the "I'm Different" rapper dropped down on one knee and whipped out a (huge!) diamond ring to ask the mother of his children if he could have her hand in marriage. She said yes! 

You might be confused by the proposal since it has long been reported that the couple has been maried for years. Plus, some sources are reporting the proposal was fake, and he was simply gifting his woman a new ring.

But TheYBF.com can exclusively confirm that the proposal was very real, and the two were never married. They have simply been together for a long time, so folks assumed they had officially tied the knot.

"They're not married! They’ve just been together forever and have three kids so everyone thinks they are," a rep for 2 Chainz tells TheYBF.com.

The Down South rapper, rocking Versace at the gala, previously proposed to Kesha at the BET Awards in June 2013, however, they reportedly never made it down the aisle.

Fast forward to tonight, and he popped the question to her again.  Not mad.

“It’s crazy, he just gave me this! So happy! I love it,” she told reporters on the red carpet.

Speaking of Versace, the brand released the rapper's "Chain Reaction" sneaker last week.

The couple have three children together, daughters Harmony and Heaven; and a son named Halo.

Now it's time to plan a wedding. Congrats to the couple! 

In other news, 2 Chainz will hit the stage to perform his track "Proud" on May 9th on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!".

 

Headed to #metgala2018 @versace

Leave it to Solange to bring the blackest Met Gala look. And it's still heavenly.  Get into her 2018 ice breaker inside...

Every year Solange Knowles Ferguson hits the Met Gala carpet, she leaves an impression. She always brings an out-the-box look that perfectly fits the theme, or at least her interpretation of it.

Before making her way on the carpet this year, she hopped on Instagram to ask her fans to help her choose out of four looks which look she should do because, anxiety & nerves. Y'all know how it is.

After she tallied up the votes, she deleted the Instagram post. But we have it below:

Solo chose the sculpted latex number by Iris Van Herpen for the Met Gala's “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination" theme. She topped her look off with a halo and (for the cluture) a du-rag. The halo is similar to the one she wore for her "SNL" debutand the one she made out of her hair for ES magazine that they photoshopped out.

"i feel heavenly in black - the function #metball," she captioned on Twitter.

You look heavenly black, Solo. We thank you.

Jay Z has 99 problems and this SEC probe aint gonna be one, at least, that's what his lawyers are making sure of. Get the latest, plus deets on J. Cole's "KOD" Tour with Young Thug inside...

Jay Z's lawyers are working overtime after a federal judge ordered him to to explain why he’s been M.I.A. after he was served two subpoenas in a fraud case against Iconix. He's being accused of “dodging” two subpoenas related to a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation of a company that bought his Rocawear clothing line in the last six months.

Hov's lawyers feel like the SEC is now on "celebrity hunt," demanding the rapper answer an unlimited amount of questions beginning Friday about a company he sold his Rocawear apparel business to more than a decade ago.

The Hip Hop mogul, real name Shawn Carter, responded to the judge's orders with an 18-page opposition brief drafted by his attorneys at Quinn Emanuel. His lawyers are calling the SEC probe a "celebrity hunt." They explained the SEC's "instant request is unreasonably and unnecessarily burdensome and is driven more by governmental fascination with celebrity and headlines than by any proper investigative purpose."

U.S. District Judge Paul G. Gardelphe ordered Hov to appear in court today to try and convince him why he shouldn’t have to deliver a testimony in the fraud cause against Iconix. If he fails to convince the judge that he shouldn’t have to testify, then he will be forced to give his testimony before the SEC in Washington on May 11th. It’s reported he will be required to answer questions for as many days as it takes.

However, Jay said he's not doing it. He agreed to testify for a day, but anything over that.  He and his wife Beyonce do have their "On The Run II" tour coming up.

Testifying for more than a day "will impair the work of many individuals and entities who are preparing for the tour and will hinder my own work in preparation for the tour."

They’re not investigating Hov, but they need his testimony in the case. The SEC is investigating "potential violations" of federal financial disclosure laws by Iconix when the company reported financial results, including about its Rocawear-related assets. In 2007, the Grammy Award winner sold Rocawear to Iconix for $204 million.

Jay Z's rep said he had no role in Iconix’s financial reporting or its actions as a public company.

There's an update in the case of Morgan Freeman's step-granddaughter E'Dena Hines' death. Get the deets on her boyfriend's manslaughter conviction, plus see video of R. Kelly shopping it up with his alleged "hostage" Joycelyn Savage inside...

The boyfriend of Morgan Freeman's slain step-granddaughter was acquitted of murder, but was convicted of manslaughter.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice found Lamar Davenport guilty of stabbing 33-year-old E'Dena Hines, the step-granddaughter of famed actor Morgan Freeman, to death outside of their NYC apartment in 2015, according to the NY Daily News. She was found in the street around 3AM before she was found and taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.

He was previously brought up on a second-degree murder charge for her death. In court, lawyer revealed Lamar was emotionally disturbed due to a drug-induced psychosis when he stabbed her. It's unclear why he didn't get convicted on the murder charge. The judge did not explain her verdict.

E'Dena, whose grandmother Jeanette Adair Bradshaw was Morgan's first wife, first made headlines in 2012 after Morgan had to squash reports that they were lovers. The Hollywood actor denied ever having a romantic relationship with E'Dena.

Before her life was tragically cut short, E'Dena followed in Morgan's footsteps, nailing several great roles. She was a graduate of NYU’s Graduate Acting Program and played Beneatha in “A Raisin in the Sun” on Broadway in 2012. And in April 2015, she co-starred in the indie film “Landing Up.’ The film’s director, Daniel Tenenbaum, told the NY Post,“She was an amazing, incredible, loving human being.”

Hopefully this is closure for the family.

In R. Kelly news...

Well, what do we have here?

R. Kelly doesn't seem to be hiding at all amid the recent wave of sex abuse and "sex cult" claims. Well, we know he hasn't been hiding out since he has been performing for anyone who'll let him.

Anyhoo, the Pied Piper was seen with his alleged "hostage" Joycelyn Savage on a shopping spree in Chicago on April 28th. Someone was on stalker mode, following them around as they hit up Nordstrom and made their rounds in the mall.

You'll recall, Joycelyn's parents blasted Kellz for brainwashing their daughter into join the bevy women he has in his alleged "sex cult." After the news leaked about Kelly's alleged sex cult, Joycelyn spoke out saying she was fine and that ther father needed to"shut the hell up" and to leave her alone.

Peep the clip of Kelly and his 21-year-old live-in "girlfriend" all boo'd up above. Looks like she's still under his thumb, or what some may call, brainswashing.

The history of R. Kelly's alleged (and we use the term alleged for legal reasons only) abuse is about to be put on front street in a new LIFETIME movie and a docuseries. Get the deets HERE.

And this is why Tiffany Haddish is the life of the party. Chick stays turnt.

When she hit the Met Gala carpet inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art last night for the first time ever. The Girls Trip actress rolled up on the scene in a black and white Brandon Maxwell ensemble, hitting the carpet with the designer and model Karlie Kloss, who Brandon also dressed.

This year's theme was "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination."

As she made her way down the carpet chatting with reporters, "The Last O.G." star made it known she was on the hunt for Michael B. Jordan. E! News correspondent Zuri Hall told Tiffany that celebs were excited to party it up with her inside. Tiffany wasn't really concerned with any of that. All she wanted to know was if Michael "BAE" Jordan dropped her name.  Because, priorities.
