Ex-NBA Star Sebastian Telfair Had His Estranged Wife, Girlfriend AND Ex-Mistress Appear In Court For His Case, All Hell Broke Loose!

Former NBA star Sebastian Telfair appeared in court on weapons and drug possession charges where his estranged wife, his new girlfriend and his ex-mistress. Needless to say, ish got crazy. More inside...

What in the faux sisterwives is going on?

Ex-NBA baller Sebastian Telfair - who was a big deal when he entered the league in 2004 - appeared in Brooklyn Supreme court yesterday on weapon and drug possession charges. And folks in attendance cut all the way up.

Having to appear in court on serious charges should trigger enough anxiety. Instead, the 33-year-old ex-Portland Trailblazer had to be feeling real crazy once he came face-to-face with all the witnesses called.

Telfair was in court for an incident that went down in June 2017. He and his girlfriend LaBella Chacon (first woman pictured below) were arrested by police after they were reportedly caught with a trunk full of contraband.

 

 

So, get this. His new girlfriend was there to support, however, his estranged wife - Samantha Telfair (woman pictured on the far right) - and his former mistress - Caterina Scotto (woman pictured in the middle) - appeared in court to testify AGAINST him. Chile...

His former mistress didn't mind spilling tea the prosecution needed to help build their criminal case against the NBA baller.

First, his ex-mistress said a friend of Telfair's was making her uncomfortable in court.

"There’s this lady that keeps mouthing things to me and it’s making me really uncomfortable," Scotto told Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice John Hecht, the New York Post reports.

That woman, Patricia Ciccone, was called into the hallway for questioning, where she said she was just Telfair’s friend. Hecht allowed her to stay in the courtroom, but warned her to not communicate with the witnesses.

The ex-mistress - who explained she had an on/off relationship with the Brooklyn native who was married - then gave details on what she knew about Telfair's alleged criminal actions. She admitted to helping coordinate shipping Telfair's cars (one he was arrested in) from Florida to Brooklyn. She said revealed she rented storage units for him. The ex-mistress said she saw Telfair with a gun on multiple occasions, and claimed he would refer to firearms as “biscuits.”

According to the NY Post, she also confessed to taking a couple of his framed basketball jerseys from the onetime athlete’s unit before she allowed the company to auction his other memorabilia off.

“Did you ever sell any of that property for yourself?” his defense attorney Richard Southard asked Scotto.

“Why?” the 26-year-old said. “It’s not worth anything.”

Oop! And chick got hella shady after testifying. As she was leaving, she trashed Telfair's new girlfriend, telling the Daily Mail:

"Sebastian’s new girlfriend… I think he’s got many of them. She’s very ugly," Scotto said. "She does sexual favors for free music videos.'

Damn! She said she was NOT coming back to court the next day.

Telfair himself was cutting up as well - making facial expressions in the direction of his friend and the jury while his ex-wife was on the stand. The judge popped off on him for being distracting. He also exaggeratedly yawned as his estranged wife identified some of his firearms during her testimony, and he got called out for that as well.

“The defendant is turning to the audience and making facial expressions the jury can see,” the judge said, before telling Telfair to stop.

THIS guy...

The woman who made his ex-mistress feel "uncomfortable" in court was also reportedly heard laughing during his wife's testimony.

All they needed were cameras to capture it all. We're sure "Love & Hip Hop" creator Mona Scott Young would have loved to capture this and let it play out on reality television.

Last year, Telfair stopped by Power 105's "The Breakfast Club" (rocking a Roc-A-Fella chain) where he talked about losing endorsement deals over his past criminal cases (he was arrested on a gun charge in 2007), his relationship with Jay Z, starting a rap career, and more. Check it below:

Blac Chyna Flexes On Social Media After Reports About Her Being Sued Over Unpaid Rent Surface

Blac Chyna is seemingly unbothered after reports of a lawsuit filed against her for $48,000+ in unpaid rent. Get the deets and check her flex inside...

Tyga 2.0?

Blac Chyna has been hit with a lawsuit for allegedly failing to pay up after ditching on her lease 5 months early.

Chy has reportedly been sued by her former landlord for a home in Studio City that she was renting since April 2017. Everything was cool up until last month. The landlord claims Chyna signed a lease through March 2019, but for whatever reason, she moved out in November 2018. What's interesting is that a report came out in October 2018 claiming Chyna paid $3 million for a mansion in Woodland Hills, so maybe that's why she moved from this place. (We wonder if she really paid for it though).

You'll recall, her daughter's father Rob Kardashianfiled to have his child support payments lowered in November 2018 as well.

After she dipped, she stopped paying, so the landlord wants their money. According to TMZ, the Lash Boutique owner owes $55,546 for about 5 months of rent. $25,000 was deducted for the deposit, however, the landlord added an additional $18,000 for damages. He claims she removed "fixtures and equipment" from the home.

Now, she allegedly owes $48,546. She's being sued for that amount along with interest and attorney's fees.

Chyna doesn't seem bothered though. She hopped on Instagram recently, flexing and flossing outside, surrounded by her luxury vehicles:

 

You see what we see though?

Bey Drops LIVE 'Beyoncé: Homecoming' Album With A Super Black 'Before I Let Go' Cover AND A Perfect Netflix Doc

Beyoncé didn't just drop a whole Netflix documentary giving us a front row seat to how she created all that perfection we got at Beychella.  She even gave us a surprise new 40-track live album with her whole Coachella performance, including a black AF cover to a black AF song.  Because, Beyoncé.  Rejoice with the Hive inside.

Beyoncé isn't on the lineup for Coachella 2019, but she def stole everybody's thunder this year with her epic performance from 2018 - in the form of a documentry.  And an album.

As the first black woman to headline the 20-year festival, Bey's "Homecoming" documentary - that dropped at midnight/3am EST gives more insight as to why she brought black HBCU culture to a majority white audience (other than the simple fact she just can).

 

She didn't just give us inspo, fitspo, careerspo, all the "inspiration" -spos with a detailed look at how she created the genius that was Beychella, but she showed us the intimate difficulties she faced getting pregnant with twins unexpectedly. From the Preeclampsia due to high blood pressure to an emergency c-section to topping out at 218 pounds before giving birth to Sir& Rumi Carter, Bey gave women and moms (and the men who appreciate them and even those who don't) a relatable and touching look at being a working mom of 3.

Even with all the resources in the world, there's certain issues women experience that even money can't prevent or make drastically better. You can't help but have a whole new appreciation for how chick hit those stands at Coachella two weekends in a row just 10 months later. Slayed all that ish.

 

 

By the way, can we talk about how Bey SPIT these twins out:

She's basically their triplet.

While rocking HBCU merch throughout the documentary, likely giving her plenty inspiration, she decided to bless the Beyhive with a new album while creating Beychella too. It's a compilation of the live performances from her Coachella set list. Included in it is a New Orleans-inspired remix and cover of Frankie Beverly & Maze's "Before I Let Go." Yup, the black staple on every BBQ's playlist and also at any N.O. party you go to.

iTunes said about "Homecoming: The Live Album":

So, yeah. Beychella & Beyflix will serve as our life mentors until further notice. Aside from that diet of air and vegan-nism. Keep your judgment.

Post a video or voice message in Yappa below and tell us if you loved "Homecoming"!

Nipsey Hussle's Family Will Carry Out His Vision For the Foundation He Created Before His Death + Mural On Crenshaw Basketball Court Goes Viral

Nipsey Hussle's physical body is no longer with us, but his legacy will live on thanks to his family. Deets on the foundation he created before he was murdered inside...

Before his life was taken on March 31st, Nipsey Hussle was working behind-the-scenes on his very own foundation to give back to his beloved Crenshaw neighborhood. While his physical body is no longer here, the work he put in before his untimely death will not go in vain.

His family has reportedly stepped in to take over the foundation he was in the process of creating, which he designed to help improve the quality of life within his community. According to TMZ, the Grammy nominated rapper was working on a foundation that would start working with schools to rebuild playgrounds, help improve public parks in Crenshaw, and a few STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) programs for students.

In an effort to get his foundation off the ground, he had already kicked things into gear. According to L.A. City Councilman Marqueece Harris-Dawson, the Victory Lap rapper - who owned 14 businesses in his community - donated shoes to students at 59th Street Elementary, and he paid to have basketball courts repaved.

Right now, Nipsey's family is focused on getting his foundation up and running. One of their first orders of business is coming up with a name for the foundation.

By now, you know Nipsey was very active in his community, giving felons jobs at his Marathon Clothing store and launching a co-working space/STEM center called Vector 90. He was also working to help the Destination Crenshaw project, which is a beautification project to turn a 1.3 mile stretch of Crenshaw Blvd. into an open-air art museum. Sources tell TMZ Nipsey's family intends to keep contributing to that project. Nipsey, along with Roc Nation, was also set to meet with L.A. Police Commissioner Steve Soboroff to help prevent gang violence the day after he was gunned down in front of his store.

We're glad to see his family is keeping his legacy alive because we know that's what he would have wanted.

Also...

A basketball court was revamped in his honor. The public court outside the Crete Academy charter school - called Nipsey Basketball Court - features a beautiful mural done by Gustavo Zermeno. Venice Basketball League's CEO, Nick Ansom said the court was done to pay homage to the rapper/community activist - who was a big sports fan - for all of the work he put into the community.

 

 

Nice!

In the virtual world (a world Nipsey had already started intertwining into his own businesses like The Marathon Store)...

 

 

NBA Live 19 has added a Nipsey Hussle character to the game in honor of the slain rapper.

 

 

What a victory lap.

REUNION ON DECK?! Both Charlamagne & DJ Boof Call Up Wendy Williams For A 'Double Date'

0

It's been years (and we mean YEARS) since Charlamagne Tha God and Wendy Williams were on good terms.  It took Charla years to even mention her name.  Now, a reunion is on deck.  She has a double date planned with him and her on-agan, off-again DJ.

Now THIS is a reunion that needs to be aired, f--- a "Housewives" reunion. 

We may see Charlamagne tha God & Wendy Williams (pictured above headed to pilates today) join forces again!
 

A little backstory: Charlamagne Tha God got his major fame push as Wendy William's sidekick on the radio before she even started the "Wendy Show."  Despite having Charlamagne stay on and film small skits during her talk show test run, the two completely severed their relationship back in 2008.  And it was all because of Wendy's husband Kevin Hunter's alleged mistress Sherina Hudson, at least according to Charlamagne.  The split was far from amicable and there's been bad blood amongst them for a while now.

Weeks ago, Charla revealed to Page Six that married a-- Kevin became increasingly angry with him about Sherina (the audacity!), whom he'd introduced Kevin to strictly on professional trms.  When a then single Sherina showed romantic interest in other people at the radio show, and Charla introduced her to them, "The Breakfast Club" host said Kevin got weirdly territorial and mad.  And the relationship with the Hunters ceased. 

Charla has been pretty vocal lately - far more than he was about a decade ago - about Wendy needing to leave her allegedly abusive husband.  And now that she has, it looks like Charla is ready to make amends.

Wendy was beaming from ear to ear about her social life getting a major uptick recently.  Just days after filing for divorce, she got invites from Bevy Smith and Andre Leon Talley for a Ball, got asked out on a date by DJ Boof, and was asked out to dinner by....Charlamagne!

Unfortunately, Wendy was already booked for the night Charla suggested, but she had an alternative plan.

 

You better speak on it then, king! He's clearly going after what he wants.

The reason Wendy's booked: DJ Boof asked her on a date, she said!  Boof - who you've heard on Nicki Minaj's Pink Radio and as her DJ on her tour - seemed to be unbothered by Kevin Hunter's infamous reputation.  He stepped to her right quick.

Wendy said:

'The invitations for social events keep pouring into my phone and stuff. They really do.  I was minding my own business last night, reading my book — you know, I love to read — and all of a sudden my cellphone rings.'

It was Boof, she said, and he was asking to take her out to eat.  Ha!

'[He was] asking me out for dinner,' she said. 'And just at that time, I got a knock on my door. I was like, "Boof or food?"'

She told him what time to pick her up on another day, since she already ordered some food, and a date was set.   That's when she got a second call.

“It wasn’t Boof — it was Charlamagne [Tha God],” she said as the audience cheered in excitement. “Charlamagne wanted to take me for dinner!”

Unfortunately, the night Charlamagne chose was the same night as her plans with Boof.

“So Charlamagne says, ‘Well, I know Boof. Why don’t we both take you out?’” she continued. “So, I said, ‘Look, I’m reading, I have my food here. You call Boof.’”

Boof revealed Charla - who's married to his wife Jessica - did call him, and now it's "date."  While Charla is taken and strictly friends with Wendy, the look on Boof's face says he might want more himself.  Not even mad!

About 3 years ago, Boof and Wendy explained why he's not seen with her as often anymore, and it's due to him touring and working with other people.

 

He seemed happy as pie to be back on "Wendy" today though. Gotta love it.

You better LIVE, Auntie Wendy!

Interview Slayer Gayle King Nabs TIME's 100 Most Influential People Cover, Oprah & Ava DuVernay Show Her Love

 photo gayletime.png

TIME magazine has unveiled their 100 Most Influential People and Gayle King made the list AND nabbed a cover. See her bestie Oprah and Ava DuVernay show her love, plus other YBFer's who made the list inside...

 

Gayle King is receiving her flowers! And rightfully so.

TIME Magazine has revealed its annual list of the 100 Most Influential People in the world and journalist/"CBS This Morning" co-anchor Gayle King nabbed a spot on the list. Not only did she make the list, she also received her very own cover! Only six honorees get magazine covers. Yassss. MUCH deserved.

The "CBS This Morning" host - who received tons of praise for her intense one-on-one interview with R. Kelly - got all choked up during this morning's show when her co-host read the powerful words directress Ava DuVernay wrote in the magazine about how she's slaying the journalism game.

Here's how the Oscar nominated paid tribute to the famed journalist:

Gayle King, journalist. More often than not, this isn’t the way we’ve described her. The signifier we most often used was in connection to her personal relationships. We’ve spoken of her in an adjacent manner. We’ve regarded her in the context of others. But when you have the heart of Gayle King, that’s not necessarily a negative thing. You’re just fine not being the most known person in the room. In fact, you’re genuinely happy for the person who is.

What most don’t understand about Gayle is that this perfected proximity to others is a superpower that the best journalists possess. To be present, but not centered. To observe. To bear witness. Gayle has long honed this craft. So the fact that this year she is being lauded as one of the all-time great broadcast interviewers is simply the perfect signifier, a few decades overdue. Luckily for us, we’ve finally decided to regard her in relationship to herself. To see her for the truth seeker that she has always been. Our eyes are now open as we bear witness to her, standing right in front of us, gracefully in the center.

Perfectly written.

Watch Gayle get teary eyed below:

 

 

Aww!

Gayle's bestie Oprah also showered her with love:

 

 

Gayle herself hopped on social media to reflect on the honor, sharing pictures of the "CBS This Morning" cast and crew celebrating her big feat:

 

It's rumored Gayle King is in the midst of a multi-million dollar re-negotiation with CBS News to stay on “CBS This Morning." Let's keep our fingers crossed the network runs her ALL her coins.

 

 

Other YBFers who nabbed a spot on the list include FLOTUS Michelle Obama (whose tribute was written by Beyonce), Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (who also landed a cover), Regina King, Mahershala Ali, LeBron James, Spike Lee, Khalid, Tiger Woods, Chrissy Teigen, CNN's Van Jones, #METOO movement creator Tarana Burke, tennis star Naomi Osaka, trans activist Janet Mock, filmmaker Dream Hampton, and makeup guru Pat McGrath.

Khalid and Taylor Swift are set to perform at the 2019 TIME 100 Gala on April 23rd.

Congrats Gayle!!

Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes are shutting down breakup rumors. See their boo'd up candids inside...

What was said?

Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes are quietly shutting down breakup rumors with a few boo'd up candids. It seems they're both ready to put their relationship status on full display after years of keeping their romance super low key.

 photo Squat2.jpg

The couple - who has reportedly been dating since 2013 - were seen holding hands while taking a stroll through NYC after brunch yesterday (April 16th). Photogs spotted them all coupled up as they made their way to Katie's apartment.

Later that night, the Django actor hit the streets without Katie. The actor/singer/comedian hit up the "Live Victoriously" launch at the Times Square Edition bar to announce his forthcoming comedy tour titled, "Kill The Comedian."

 

 photo Squat3.jpg

The couple's latest coupledom spotting comes after they have been seen together a few times. Which is quite rare. The Hollywood couple was recently seen holding hands while out after dinner with Jamie's 25-year-old daughter, Corrine Foxx. They were also seen taking a walk through Central Park recently.

So yeah, these two are still going strong.

UGH! 'Rel' Canceled By FOX After Only One Season

 photo relcanceled.png

So lame! "Rel" has been canceled by FOX after only one season. More inside...

If you enjoyed getting your laugh on while watching "Rel" we have bad news. FOX just canceled the series, starring Lil Rel Howery, after its first season.

The network decided NOT to greenlight a second season of the comedy series from Jerrod Carmichael, Mike Scully, and 20th Century Fox TV. Jess “Hilarious” Moore, Sinbad, and Jordan L. Jones also co-starred in the series. Scully served as showrunner and executive produced alongside Carmichael.

It seems low ratings may have been the reason the network decided to give the show the boot.

According to Deadline, the first season averaged a modest 0.8 adults 18-49 rating and 2.1 million viewers in Live+7. Apparently, there was smoke looming before the cancellation was official when FOX opted NOT to give a back order to the series. They also ending up slashing the original order from 13 to 12 episodes.

"Rel" was co-created by Lil Rel Howery and Kevin Barnett. The "Rel" cast and crew suffered a major blow when co-creator/executive producer Kevin Barnett died expectantly while on vacay in Mexico, a little over a week after the season finale aired. Tragic.

 

Lil Rel Howery hopped on Instagram to thank everyone who supported the show:

 

 

Sucks.

While we won't see Lil Rel on our televisions every week, he's set to star in an upcoming comedy flick titled Bad Trip, which is set to hit theaters October 2019.

Russell Wilson, Ciara and the kiddies were all smiles as the NFL quarterback signed his new contract extension that makes him the highest paid NFL player in the league. See their family flicks and Russell's sweet message inside...

Signing Day was a family affair!

The whole Wilson clan was all smiles yesterday as the Seattle Seahawks quarterback signed his contract extension. The new contract made him the highest paid player in the NFL! Yeah, we'd be all smiles too!

The Super Bowl winning QB brought his wife Ciara, his daughter Sienna Wilson and his step son Future Wilburn to celebrate his big feat. On Instagram, Russ posted a super sweet message, thanking God for his wife and kids.

"My joy. My life. My everything. I thank God everyday for you 3! Love you all! @Ciara #SigningDay @Seahawks," he captioned.

 

Aww!

"The Greatest Love" singer also hopped on social media to show love to her hubby.

"Family Signing Day. One of the many sweet and proud moments we’ll cherish forever! #GoHawks," she captioned.

 

As previously reported, Russell Wilson nabbed a four-year, $140 million extension, which includes a $65 million signing bonus.

The Seattle Seahawks quarterback told the Seahawks they had until April 15th to get their ish together and offer him a new contract. And the pressure worked. The mega deal just pushed the 30-year-old Super Bowl winning quarterback (the only one in Seahawks history) to the top of the list of highest-paid players in the NFL. He's making more than NFL quarterback vet Aaron Rodgers. Nice!

The deal also includes a no-trade clause. The five-time Pro Bowler will be tied to the Seahawks until 2023. Russell's new signing bonus also broke a new record. Pure definition of "leveling up."

So, the Wilsons will be spreading their love in Seattle for the next for years! Peep a clip of Russell's journey below: 

 

 

Congrats, again!

Kevin McCall ARRESTED On Felony Domestic Violence Charge + Eva Marcille Breaks Down While Talking About Past Alleged Abuse

Kevin McCall was arrested on a felony domestic charge. This morning, his ex-Eva Marcille was brought to tears while talking about the alleged abuse she endured from him. More inside...

 

Kevin McCall is in trouble!

On Monday, the singer-songwriter was reporedlty arrested for domestic violence in LA. The 34-year-old singer was booked on one felony count of injuring a spouse or cohabitant, according to Page Six. The "Deuces" singer was released on Tuesday after posting bond. The amount has not been revealed.

He's scheduled to appear in court on April 30th.

After being released, Kevin hopped on Instagram with an "inspirational" message from the Bible.

He shared a screenshot of the scripture 1 Peter 3:16 and wrote, "If you have a dream and a Good heart don't let this world steal your Joy, Keep fighting for what you love and most off all what you believe in. Be kind and gentle to others and try your best not to always feel entitled to it being reciprocated back everytime, just enjoy loving people geniunely and you'll always find a way to do that unique and special thing that God put you on this Earth/Plane to do for us all Love peace and blue magic Hair Grease ;-)"

It's interesting how someone is ALWAYS slandering his name (*sarcasm) and he's always claiming how good of a heart he has.

This morning, the "Rickey Smiley Morning Show" reported on Kevin's arrest and co-host Eva Marcille got emotional while reflecting on the alleged abuse she endured by him. The "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star, who shares 5-year-old daughter Marley Rae with Kevin, said she didn't date Kevin long enough to really get to know him before getting pregnant.

The "Top Model" alum said the abuse started when she was pregnant with her daughter and said it only got worse after Marley was born. She said the final straw for her is when he allegedly attacked her while she was holding Marley. The reality star filed a restraining order against him in 2014 after that alleged incident. She said she feels sorry for the woman he allegedly abused and hopes the police "keeps his a** in jail."

Eva's co-host Gary With Da Tea was super messy while reporting the story, asking Eva if she was the woman Kevin allegedly assaulted. So disrespectful and unnecessary. There's NOTHING funny about domestic violence.

Peep the clip below:

 

You'll recall, Eva, who is now married to politician Michael Sterling, shared she and her husband live in “multiple places” to hide from McCall.

We're SO glad Eva got out that situation and hopefully the woman who he allegedly attacked recently will run for the hills as well.

BLESSINGS ON BLESSINGS! Wendy Williams Offers To Publish & Produce Hip Hop Journalist Dee Barnes' Book & Movie!

0

Hip Hop journalist Dee Barnes appeared on the "Wendy Williams Show" today and received a double blessing! Deets on Wendy Williams using her resources to help Dee tell her story to the world inside...

#BlackGirlMagic unfolded on television today!

Hip Hop journalist Dee Barnes appeared on the "Wendy Williams Show" today after she made headlines for making a GoFundMe account to keep her from getting evicted.

Last month, the pioneering hip-hop reporter and former "Pump It Up!" host, who is the mother of three daughters, opened up about facing eviction from her home if she didn't come up with the money. She ended up raising over $30,000 before she shut the campaign down.

Today, she chopped it up with Wendy to explain how she went from interviewing and rubbing elbows with celebrities to almost being kicked out of her residence.

She shared details about how Dr. Dre allegedly assaulted her back in 1991. She said she was at an industry party when Dr. Dre approached her following an interview she did with former N.W.A. member Ice Cube. In the interview, Cube trashed N.W.A. and Dre was pissed. While at the party, she said she and Dre made eye contact and he quickly turned his back. She said his actions shocked her because she thought they were cool.

While standing near a flight of stairs, she said Dre walked up to her and literally picked her up by her hair and started slamming her head into the wall. Dre allegedly had one of his bodyguards holding everyone at gun point so that no one would step in. The one person who did try to help was allegedly pistol whipped and had two teeth knocked out. She was able to get away from him and run into the women's bathroom. He allegedly followed her into the restroom and assaulted her there as well. Wendy probed her for more details, asking if the assault she allegedly endured in the bathroom was sexual. Dee got quiet and then said she wasn't ready to talk about it.

After the alleged assault, she was blackballed from the industry. His influence kept her from getting hired for jobs. In 2015, Dre released a blanket apology to "all of the women he hurt" in the past. You'll recall, his ex/singer Michel'le also accused him of abusing her during their relationship.

Dee revealed Dre never directly apologized to her. After he issued that public apology to all the women he hurt, Dee wrote an article in response. You can read it HERE.

Dee said she struggled landing jobs in the industry and ended up working several retail jobs. She said she was working a movie ticket booth when Straight Outta Compton was released. Wow. While she was working, it still was hard for her to keep her bills paid, which is why she made the GoFundMe account. Dee revealed she was in the process of writing a book to tell her story, but didn't know how to get started.

The newly liberated Wendy Williams stepped in and offered to publish Dee's book (via her Hunter Publishing company) and also produce a movie (via Wendy Williams Productions) for the book! Woot! The daytime talk show host also teamed up with HotelPlanner.com who donated $15,000 to help Dee and her daughters get back on their feet. YAS! We'll add a video of the interview once it's available.

It's soooo refreshing to see black women empowering and uplifting other black women! We wish Dee Barnes nothing but the best!

Rapper G Herbo was arrested in Atlanta for battery. Not long after, his ex/son's mother Ari Fletcher hopped on social media and said HE beat her a**. Get it all inside...

This is a whole mess!

Rapper G Hebro (real name Herbert Wright III) was arrested last night (April 17th) in Atlanta for simple battery. Cops hauled him off to jail around 11:40pm after he reportedly got into an argument with the mother of his child, according to Atlanta news station 11Alive.

The 23-year-old rapper, who's currently dating Fabolous & Emily B's daughter Taina, was booked at the Fulton County Jail after police responded to a dispute call. According to Jarius Daughtery with the Atlanta Police Department, the woman told police she got into an argument with her child's father that turned physical. Police said Ari sustained minor scratches during the altercation.

Police claim G Herbo left the home on Canterbury Lane with their son, but later returned. When he came back, the police spoke with him and that's when they arrested and charged him with simple battery. TMZ reports he's still in jail and his bond is $2,000.

The woman wasn't identified by police. However, Herbo's ex-girlfriend/son's mother Ari Fletcher identified herself as the battered woman on Instagram. She posted (then deleted) a detailed account of what allegedly happened on IG Stories. She said he kicked her door down after she wouldn't let him in and then "beat the f**** out of me in front of my son." She said he took their son outside to his friends and they drove off with the baby.

"[He] hid all the knives in my house, broke my phone and locked me inside, beat the f*** out of me again," she wrote. "I have a black eye, my body scraped up from being dragged outside, bruises and cuts all over my body ... please don't speak on no old "relationship play fights" cause this ain't it."

By the way, Ari is allegedly pregnant with her new boyfriend/boxer Gervonta Davis' baby. Supposedly.

Last week, G Herbo and Ari were spotted fighting (or what they like to call "play fighting") after their son's first birthday:

 

These two....

 

Also, G Herbo posted videos of himself on social media cursing out a little kid for coming down the slide after him while he was holding his son:

Trash.

Kevin Hunter Is Officially OUT At 'WENDY' & Possibly Leaves With A Multi-Million Dollar Bag

Wendy Williams' estranged husband Kevin Hunter is officially OUT at the "Wendy Williams Show." And there are conflicting stories about his departure. More inside...

Wendy Williams' post-marriage glow up continues. The newly single woman - who filed for divorce from her husband Kevin Hunter last week - is creating her "new life" and getting rid of all negative energy around her. She's cleaning house.

After speculation that her estranged husband Kevin Hunter would get the boot, it has been confirmed that he's no longer with the "WENDY" show. TMZ says a "WENDY" spokesperson told them, "Kevin Hunter is no longer an executive producer on 'The Wendy Williams Show.'"

A spokesperson also spilled to PEOPLE, adding, "Debmar-Mercury wishes him well in his future endeavors."

However, Entertainment Tonight & US Weekly claims he was fired. Either way, he's out of there. His services are no longer needed. 

Wendy's staff is reportedly relieved he's gone:

“It’s like a weight lifted off everyone’s shoulders,” a source spills to Us Weekly. “Kevin’s toxicity was dragging everyone down. … While the future is somewhat unclear, what is clear is that Wendy has a huge support system comprised of her staff, industry colleagues and family.”

Before the official news dropped, there were rumors Kevin was negotiating a deal for a payout before leaving the show. Now, word on the curb is that he reached a settlement. And a hefty one at that.

A source reveals to BOSSIP that Kevin will receive "around $10 million to go away quietly." The source claims his departure was more of a mutual parting and that he wasn't fired like previously reported from various sites.

After Wendy pulled the trigger on their divorce, Kevin issued a public apology to her, saying he was remorseful for his actions. Hmph. As you know, he allegedly had a baby with his alleged mistress for 10+ years Sherina Hudson.

Oh, and get this. A week before Wendy sent Kevin his divorce papers, she reportedly hired a security team to ensure her safety daily. Three bodyguards watched over her while she prepped for the show and while she was filming. Not even mad.

TMZ reports:

“We’re told Wendy initially hired a personal security team about a week before she served him with divorce papers because there had been a number of blowups between them leading up to her filing,” the outlet reports. “In at least one instance, our sources say things got so heated, Kevin had to be restrained.”

Glad he's gone for her sake.

If you watch the show, she definitely appears to be in a better space. Hopefully she continues on this postive streak and keeps creating this "whole new life" with her son. Best revenge is your paper.

Don't come for Chrissy Teigen unless she sends for you. The unbothered clapback queen unleashed her Twitter sorcery on FOX News host Laura Ingraham after she questioned Chrissy making TIME's 100 Most Influential list. Get it all inside...

Chrissy Teigen is known for her epic clapbacks on social media, and chick did not disappoint in her most recent one.

The model/cookbook author went AWF on FOX News host Laura Ingraham after she criticized TIME magazine's "curious choices" of people they put on their annual 100 Most Influential People in the World. On her show "The Ingraham Angle," pondered how the "Lip Sync Battle" commentator landed a spot in the pioneers category.

"'All her life Chrissy Teigen has liked to eat. She's not shy about that -- or anything else, really,'" Laura read from the Chrissy's profile written by chef Eric Ripert.

"Well, that's nice, and innovative I guess, eating," Laura said. Then, she criticized Chrissy's take on female empowerment.

"But did most Americans like her take on female empowerment during last week's democrat retreat?," she asked.

Then, she showed footage of Chrissy being asked what word she wanted to help women use more and she dropped the F-bomb. Yep, sounds about right for Chrissy. She gives zero f****.

 

 

Once the mom-of-two caught wind of her comments, she hopped on Twitter to respond...and sent a big "f*** you" right back at her. She also called her white supremacists.

Peep her tweets:

Bloop!

Also, Laura Ingraham received backlash recently from Hip Hop heads like T.I., The Game and Tank. after comments she made while discussing Nipsey Hussle's memorial. They're calling for her to be fired because they feel she disrespected Nipsey.

Peep their posts below:

Donald Glover teamed up with Adidas for a new sneaker collection. And for the campaign, he released a new short film that features actress/comedienne Mo'Nique. Get your laugh on inside...

 

After the release of his musical film "Guava Island" (featuring Rihanna), Donald Glover just released another new project.

Donald (aka Childish Gambino) has teamed up with Adidas Originals to launch a new sneaker collection, dubbed Donald Glover Presents, which includes a capsule of footwear and a series of short films.

He worked with the shoe company on three different shoes that feature subtle imperfections such as tattered edges and wayward threads. The brand is dubbed them Nizza DG Shoes, Lacombe DG Shoes, and Continental 80 DG Shoes.

 

 

For the Adidas x Donald Glover NIZZA DG, the rapper/actor went for an out-of-the-box approach for the campaign. He developed a series of five vignettes starring himself and comedienne/actress Mo’Nique to advertise the new kicks. And it's funny AF. Mo roasted his behind in the vignettes entitled, “1985,” “Timber,” “Avocado,” “Polenta,” and “Dusty."

"Dusty" took us OUT, btw.

 

 

Check it:

"Dusty A** Donald" and Adidas will drop the new shoes on April 26th.

Photogs caught up with Jordy and her mom Elizabeth Woods at LAX yesterday (she's headed to Nigeria to host some events) and asked her how she felt about the support she received from Will & Jada Pinkett Smith. She said ALL of the love she has been receiving from everyone has been "amazing" as she signed autographs and snapped selfies with fans.

The Eylure ambassador was also asked if she would ever patch things up with her former bestie Kylie Jenner and if she loved her. At first, she hesitated to answer and then she responded that she will always have love for her ex-BFF.

throwback vacation vibes

A post shared by Kylie (@kyliejenner) on

Kylie is seemingly dropping subliminals on her Instagram page. She posted a throwback vacay picture of herself standing in the mirror in the bathroom. On the surface, it just looks like a regular bikini bathroom selfie. However, the picture is from her and Jordyn's vacation they took in January - before all of the drama popped off.

It's the same bathroom she snapped flicks with Jordy and her daughter Stormi Webster - all rocking matching neon green swimsuits:

Jussie Smollett CUT From Broadway Musical, Prosecutor Kim Foxx Calls Him A 'Washed Up Celeb' & Goes In On R.Kelly Too

We've got updates on Jussie Smollett and R. Kelly. Get the latest inside...

Jussie Smollett is currently living it up in Hawaii (smoking mysterious cigarettes) with his family. You know, taking a break from all of the drama following his "hate crime" fiasco. He's currently being sued by the City of Chicago for $130,000 for the extra hours put into investigating what police say was a staged attack. 

While he's still set to star on "Empire" (according to his co-host Taraji P. Henson), the actor has reportedly been cut for a leading role in Broadway's revival of Richard Greenberg's Tony-winning play, "Take Me Out."

The "Empire" star was in the running to play Darren Lemming, a mixed-race baseball star who comes out as gay. But, not anymore! A source spilled the beans to Deadline, revealing Jussie read for the lead role in January, before the alleged hate crime. No casting decision has been made about the lead role, but Jussie is out.

While Smollett is no longer in the picture, his casting apparently never proceeded to anything firm before the January 29 incident in Chicago that police say was a hate crime hoax perpetrated by Smollett for career advancement and attention.

"Take Me Out" will be directed by Scott Ellis as part of Second Stage’s 2019-20 season. Previews for the play are set to begin March 31, 2020, with opening night on April 23rd.

Welp.

Chicago prosecutor Kim Foxx called Jussie Smollett a "washed up celeb who lied to cops" in text messages that were released this week.

Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx's office made public thousands of internal texts and emails on the Jussie Smollett case in response to public-records requests by the Tribune and other media outlets.

In text messages sent to Joseph Magats (the Cook County prosecutor who made the decision to drop all charges against Jussie Smollett) on the day their office announced 16 criminal counts against the "Empire" actor for allegedly lying to authorities, Kim described the 36-year-old as a "washed up celeb" after she recused herself from the case for being in contact with one of Jussie's family members.

“Sooo......I’m recused, but when people accuse us of overcharging cases...16 counts on a class 4 (felony) becomes exhibit A,” Foxx texted Magats on March 8th.

 photo jussiekim1.png

Foxx then compared Jussie's charges from her office to R. Kelly's, who has been indicted on 10 aggravated sexual abuse charges.

“Pedophile with 4 victims 10 counts. Washed up celeb who lied to cops, 16. On a case eligible for deferred prosecution I think it’s indicative of something we should be looking at generally,” she wrote. "Just because we can charge something doesn’t mean we should."

Bloop.

After the texts were made public, Foxx defended everything she said via a statement.

“After the indictment became public, I reached out to Joe to discuss reviewing office policies to assure consistencies in our charging and our use of appropriate charging authority,” Foxx said. “I was elected to bring criminal justice reform and that includes intentionality, consistency, and discretion. I will continue to uphold these guiding principles.”

There you have it. You can read through all the text messages here.

Speaking of R. Kelly....

R. Kelly failed to make a child support payment, so he may be heading back to jail...AGAIN.

Sources tell TMZ the Grammy Award winner missed his last 2 months of child support payments to his ex-wife Drea Kelly. As you know, he's ordered to cough up over $20K/month in child support to his ex-wife.

Back in March, Kellz was thrown in jail for failing to pay back the minimum $161K of the more than $200K that he owes in back child support. That arrest came after he turned himself in on the sexual abuse charges. He pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.

The "I Believe I Can Fly" singer was released after someone footed the bill for him to be released. Since then, he has been begging the judge to reduce his payments because he claims he can't afford it.

According to reports, the judge said he would hear Kelly's arguments, but not until May 8th. In the meantime, he's still supposed to pay his previous child support payment.

Earlier this month, Kelly hopped on Instagram pleading with everyone to "take it easy" on him as he was headed to do a show in Illinois. He reportedly made $22,000. However, he still hasn't paid anything on his child support tab.

Now, he could be heading back to jail.

After getting arrested in Atlanta for allegedly assaulting his son's mother, rapper G Herbo is out and he's ready to tell his side of the story.

Right after G Herbo (real name Herbert Wright III) was arrested, Ari hopped on Instagram Stories and gave a detailed account of what she claims happened when her son's father assaulted her following a heated argument. She claims he gave her a black eye, dragged her outside, and trashed her house. And it all allegedly happened in front of their one-year-old son.

Now, the 23-year-old Chicago native is telling HIS side of what happened. Well, kinda.

After he was released from jail, Herbo hopped on Instagram Live to address the situation. He claims Ari STOLE his jewelry during at party at his mother's house. He said Ari told him to come to Atlanta to get his property back and that's when the argument started.

"You told me to come to Atlanta to get my jewelry back, you lame a** b*tch," he said. "Why you trying to make it like I care about you or your relationship? Or anything you do? I don't give a f*ck about you and you know it. I love you 'cause you my son's mom, but I don't care about you. I'm with my girl and I'm gonna be with her for a long time."

Yep, his girlfriend Tiana Williams (Fabolous & Emily B's daughter) is sticking by her man's side during all of this drama. Herbo also addressed the rumor that he has herpes, which he claims she started. He said he does not have an STD and claims she's still trying to have sex with him. He also said he's taking legal actioln against her for stealing his jewelry.

"I know after this Live, I really ain't finna get my sh*t, so I'm finna just do the insurance sh*t and get your ass locked up 'cause she robbed me, basically. B*tch, you robbed me for my jewelry when we broke up 'cause you was mad."
