Reformed Womanizer Waka Flocka Offers Advice To ‘Frequent’ Philanderer Offset & Queen Cardi B

Bennett Raglin/Getty Images for BET/Prince Williams/ATLPics Round of applause… Waka Flocka Offers Advice To Offset And Cardi B Waka Flocka knows a thing or two about stepping outside of his relationship and he’s offering advice to someone who’s being accused of doing the same. If you can remember back to 2016 Waka and his wife Tammy Rivera were in headlines for his infidelity and split briefly before Tammy publicly took him back. Now the Flockas are enjoying some marital bliss and recently celebrated four years of matrimony-dom. With that in mind, Waka sat down with XXL and dished on his coupledom with his wife who he says “turns him into a toddler” when she hugs him. “Having that significant other at the moments when you really need somebody to just to talk to,” the 31-year-old shares. “It’s them hugs. I don’t know, man. It’s like, when that lil’ lady hug me, man, I just turn into a toddler. And just to have somebody next to you that can do that, that s*** feel amazing.” Judy Eddy/WENN.com Things got especially interesting however when he was asked to give advice to Offset, whose also been accused of cheating, and Queen Cardi B. According to Waka, they shouldn’t let anyone get in their heads when it comes to their relationship and learn to communicate. “My advice for them is keep your house strong,”says Waka. “Don’t let nobody get inside your household and change your opinions and the way you feel about your spouse or your significant other. I think y’all should always have an understanding and have a ground; y’all should always talk about things, like, ‘Baby, if this happened,’ or ‘What if this happened?’ I think it should always be y’all two agreeing on whatever happens next, before anybody else put words in y’all mouth or ideas in your mind.” Wise words from a reformed man—do you think BardiSet’s listening???

Dysfunction Junction: The United States Government Is Shutdown Thanks To Trump & GOP, Here’s What That Means

Image via Ron Sachs-Pool/Getty Explaining What The U.S. Government Shutdown Means In case you hadn’t heard, the United States government is no longer operational, well, sort of operational. It’s complicated. For weeks now Democrats and Republicans have been arguing over a stopgap spending bill that would fund government’s day-to-day activities. Attached to that bill is all sorts of political chess pieces that lead to serious conflict on both sides of the aisle. The Democrats want protection for DACA “dreamers” and the anti-immigrant GOP gang wants funding for Trump dumba$$ “wall” and border security. You see the problem. Last night was the last chance for both the donkeys and the elephants to get their s#!t together, but that didn’t happen. So, the shutdown is in full effect and here’s what that means. According to CNN , thousands of gov’t employees will go on furlough, they will not report to work and they will not be paid. When a shutdown occurred in 2013, there were about 850,000 employees affected. Lot of people not getting the money that feeds their families. Furlough also affects White House employees, over 1,000 of them, 659 of which are considered “essential” will still come to work, but only to send emails and correspond with parties to let them know they won’t be working. This also affects soldiers, even those in active combat, they are fighting for free at this point. No checks will be distributed to those who are risking their life for us as well as this inept body of federal officials. TSA will still get paid, but the employees may not. The mail man will still deliver your mail. HOWEVER, the one group of feds who will still work diligently with pay is the Special Counsel, headed by Robert Mueller, who is investigating all of Donald Trump’s shady shenanigans. Oh, by the dubs, today marks Donald Trump’s 365th day as crispy cheeto POTUS. This is the One Year Anniversary of my Presidency and the Democrats wanted to give me a nice present. #DemocratShutdown — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2018 Congratulations, d!¢khead. We have no gov’t. Great job. SMFH.

Baby Daddy Do-Gooders: Tyga And Rob Kardashian Make Hefty Donations To Blac Chyna’s Comatose Assistant

Getty Images Rob And Tyga Both Contribute To Blac Chyna’s Assistant’s GoFundMe Looks like Blac Chyna is still cordial with both her baby daddies, Tyga and Rob Kardashian. Chyna’s assistant, Lorena “Patty” Hernandez, recently suffered a major brain hemorrhage, and it looks like both Rob and Tyga have made sizeable donations to a  GoFundMe page  being used to cover her medical expenses and keep up with her children. Tyga donated $5,000 under his legal name, Michael Stevenson, while Kardashian donated $10,000. Though Chyna has yet to make a public donation, she’s majorly helping her assistant and friend Patty in other ways. She has “been keeping [Hernandez’s] children at her house just to help out, this has actually been going on since before Christmas. It’s really heartbreaking and everybody is trying to help out as much as possible right now especially Chyna,” said a rep for Chyna to Page Six . The GoFundMe page explains that Hernandez initially suffered “a stroke that left her partially blind” in July 2017 and was “diagnosed … with a brain AVM arteriovenous malformation that was present since birth.” On December 18, 2017, Hernandez then suffered “a severe head bleed that left her unconscious,” the page says. “After a cat scan and a couple of days, Patty was finally stable and [doctors] advised to terminate her pregnancy lowering the chances of another head bleed because another head bleed would leave her [permanently] disabled or dead.” Patty’s pregnancy was unfortunately terminated on 10 days after the incident. On January 11, 2018, Hernandez suffered another seizure, which left her in a coma. Officers received a call for help came that from Chyna’s Lashed Salon in Encino, California. Prayers go out to Hernandez and her family during this difficult time, it’s nice to see that Chyna has a support system that will reach out and help a friend in need.

Yvonne Orji has quickly become one of our favorite funny girls as Issa’s BFF on Insecure. After an overwhelmingly positive reception to season 1 of the HBO series, we had a feeling we’d be seeing a lot more of Yvonne, but we had no idea how soon. On February 11, she’s set to star in her own commercial on the evolution of beauty in Black Hollywood. The ad spot is the result of a collaboration between P&G’s My Black is Beautiful Initiative and the Image Awards to showcase black beauty in its various forms. In the commercial, the Nigerian-American actress, who’s also an Image Award nominee, will share her perspective on the evolution of Black beauty in Hollywood while embodying that very evolution herself with her chocolate skin, textured ‘fro, full lips, and contagious smile. Check out behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot and be sure to tune in to the NAACP Image Awards Saturday, February 11 on TV One. Red carpet starts at 7:30. [ madamenoire ] No Work, No School, No Spending: National Strike Against Trump Slated For February 17 Protests continue to pop up at various locations around the country in response to President Donald Trump’s Muslim travel ban, but now citizens around the United States are attempting to organize a national strike in which no one would go to work, school, or spend money on February 17 in a unified stance against our Commander-in-Chief. According to Cosmo, activists got the idea from Francine Prose, an American Writer who, in a column for The Guardian Monday, said: “Forget protest. Trump’s actions warrant a general national strike.” “So what can we do to protest our current government’s callousness about our environment and our health, its rampant greed, its disrespect for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?,” she wrote. “I believe that what we need is a nonviolent national general strike of the kind that has been more common in Europe than here. Let’s designate a day on which no one (that is, anyone who can do so without being fired) goes to work, a day when no one shops or spends money, a day on which we truly make our economic and political power felt, a day when we make it clear: how many of us there are, how strong and committed we are, how much we can accomplish.” [ madamenoire ] Did Shaq Consider Blessing Charles Barkley With A Fade On TV? The attention to the drama between LeBron James and Charles Barkley is slowly but surely petering out, but it’s making for some interesting TV. When discussing the matter on TNT Inside The NBA, Shaq told Chuck he would have stepped to him with the hands if he told him, like he told King James, he didn’t want to “compete.” Shaq made the point that it was the personal nature of Barkley’s critique that set LeBron James off. “When you said that man doesn’t want to compete, that’s what ticked him off. And I woulda did the same thing,” Shaq told Barkley. “I woulda came right back at your rack. I woulda came up here and punched you in your face. That’s what I woulda did.” To this, Chuck said, “Well first of all you’re not a good fighter…” There was a slight chuckle heard, then crickets. Bruh…look at Shaq’s face. Specifically, his eyes. It’s like he was measuring out how long it would take him to get to the other side of the table and mete out swift justice.

Sunkist Stalin Supporting Pastor Admits He ‘Misspoke’ About ‘Top Chicago Gang Thugs’

Pastor Darrell Scott Lied About “Top Chicago Gang Thugs” Pastor Darrell Scott, the Ohio Pastor/Brian Pumper lookalike who’s one of Trumps dedicated bootlicking boys , is walking back on comments he made about “Chicago gang thugs.” During that abomination of a White House Black History celebration , Scott told the media that he’d been contacted by some of the top gang thugs in Chicago for a sit-down. According to Scott, the “top Chicago gang thugs” told him that they want to work with Trump’s administration and didn’t believe in President Obama. “They told me this outta their mouths,” said Scott. Furthermore, Scott alleged that the top “gang thugs” would lower the body count if Trump gave them new federal programs—because that makes perfect sense. R E A L L Y?! “They reached out to me, because they’re associating me with you,” said Scott. “They respect you. They believe in what you’re doing, and they want to have a sit-down about lowering that body count. So in a couple weeks, I’m going into Chicago,” Scott said. “I said we’ve got to lower that body count. We don’t want to talk about anything else; get that body count down, and they agreed that the principals that can do it – these are guys straight from the streets, no politicians, straight street guys – but they’re going to commit that if they lower that body count, we’ll come in and we’ll do some social programs.” Odd that you aren't tweeting about how Pastor Darrell Scott lied to you about “the top gang thugs from Chicago” @realDonaldTrump ✊ pic.twitter.com/vNfdjtMQBh — Khary Penebaker (@kharyp) February 3, 2017 Now Scott is admitting that he made all that up, he only talked to one gang member and he made those silly azz comments because he was “sleepy.” Via FOX 32: An Ohio pastor told FOX 32 that he “misspoke” at the White House. He created a national sensation by telling President Trump Wednesday that Chicago gang leaders would “lower the body count” if given new federal programs. “If they’re not going to solve the problems, what you’re doing is the right thing, then we’re going to solve the problem for them. Because we’re going to have to do something about Chicago. ‘Cause what’s happening in Chicago should not be happening in this country,” Trump responded. “They want to work with this administration,” Scott added. “Good,” Trump said. “Before we start talking about creating jobs, before we start talking about all these other things, before we implement them, we need to reduce that body count,” Pastor Scott told FOX 32. Pastor Darrell Scott also told FOX 32 a lack of sleep caused him to tell President Trump that Chicago gangs had offered to “lower the body count.” He said he actually spoke to one former gang member, and not to any gang leaders.

Religious Respect Or Rape Culture: Indian Government Advises Visitors To Not Wear Skirts

If you’re planning a trip to India, you might want to limit your vacation attire to skinny jeans and yoga pants, at least that’s what the Indian Minister of Tourism advises. HelloBeautiful.com reports Mahesh Sharma, India’s minister for tourism and culture, created a travel list of cultural do’s and don’t’s as part of the welcome kit provided to tourists upon arrival at the airport. But some prospective tourists are taking issue with Sharma’s “fashion don’t” recommendations. While addressing the media in Agra, the home of the Taj Majal, Sharma addressed a recommendation that advises women to not wear skirts at night in small cities. “(The list) has instructions like if they are in small cities, they should not roam around alone at night or wear skirts.” Sharma says the advisory has more to do with religious customs than rape culture and women should be mindful when visiting places of religious importance… [ MadameNoire ] Meet The Women Who Perform Female Genital Mutilation Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a common practice in 29 countries located in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Although it’s cited as a rite of passage for women, FGM is a sexually violent practice that can lead to disease and even death. According to Broadly, FGM varies from “country to country and cutter to cutter,” but the World Health Organization has classified the practice into three different types: clitoridectomy (partial or total removal of clitoris), excision (removing the inner labia along with the clitoris) and infibulation (sealing the vaginal opening shut). These rituals are usually performed in unsanitary conditions with unhygienic tools. “Aftercare usually consists of solitary confinement in a lightless room, with the occasional pail of salted water to bathe the resulting wounds,” reports Broadly. Despite the excruciating pain many pubescent pre-teens face because of FGM, there are women who chose to become cutters, even at a young age… [ MadameNoire ] Desiigner: No Methadone, Methamphetamine Or OxyContin In SUV Desiigner caught a raw deal and NYPD has some explaining to do. It turns out that there was no methadone, methamphetamine or OxyContin among the pills found in the SUV the G.O.O.D. Music rapper was a passenger in before he was arrested for charges that included menacing and drug possession. According to TMZ, the authorities claimed the aforementioned drugs were found in the vehicle, but it turns out all the pills were steroids. And they all belonged to the driver of the vehicle. The SUV was initially pulled over after a road rage incident where a driver alleged that Desiigner pointed a gun at him. However, there no gun found in the vehicle. There were reportedly a total of 302 pills in Ziploc bags. Which makes us wonder, what in the hell is this driver doing on the side?

For Discussion: Shaunie O’Neal Says Critics Go Harder On BBWLA Because The Ladies Aren’t White Like RHONY

Shaunie O’Neal Says Critics Go Harder On BBWLA Because Of Race Do people criticize shows like BBW because the casts are predominately Black? Basketball Wives creator Shaunie O’Neal recently sat down with The Undefeated about the reality show’s scrutiny. Shaunie points out that the only difference between her show and shows like Real Housewives of New York is skin color… “They’re a little harder on us, for whatever reason … but there’s nothing going on in Basketball Wives that isn’t going on with Real Housewives of New York. Hell, most of the time I think we’re a lot tamer,” she said, laughing. “And sometimes, honestly I agree [with the critics]. It’s not a proud moment for me [when we’re fighting]. Did it happen? Yes. Do you expect VH1 to leave that on the cutting room floor? Absolutely not.” She said though, that she’s not a puppeteer. “Our show, it’s a 110 percent real.” What’s the real difference? Discuss. VH1

The high-tech carrier pigeon flew to the Combita prison in Colombia on a wing and a prayer and was caught outside with the device attached to its back. It was unclear who hatched the plan for the poor pigeon, which was grabbed by two guards who removed the little harness holding the phone. Prison officials said they are investigating which inmate was behind the birdbrained mission. Who the hell trained this pigeon?! Mike Tyson??? Image via Twitter
