Source: Jim Spellman / Getty Alicia Keys Is Hosting The Grammy Awards This Year Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys is set to host the 2019 Grammy Awards. The singer made the exciting announcement via her very own YouTube channel on Tuesday morning. She will be the first female host of the show in 14 years. “I’m soooo EXCITED to announce that I’ll be hosting the 61st Annual Grammy Awards !! There’s so much in store and I CAN’T WAIT for y’all to see it ALL come to life ” she wrote in the caption of her video. Alicia Keys is only the fifth woman to ever host the Grammys in the show’s 61 year span, and on top of that, she’s only the third woman of color. This gig will also make the first woman to host the show in 14 years, following Queen Latifah in 2005, Rosie O’Donnell in 2000 and 1999, Ellen DeGeneres in 1997 and 1996, and Whoopi Goldberg in 1992. The choice to have a woman host this year is important for the show, especially after controversy during last year’s program. At last year’s Grammys, only six women were nominated in the show’s major categories, and Alessia Cara was the only woman to receive an award during the entire televised portion of the show. Along with the announcement of Keys as 2019’s host, 15 women are nominated in the top four categories this year, compared to only six in 2018. Congrats to Alicia Keys!

Peep this video clip unearthed by The Daily Show: Well would you looky there… If you wanna find out exactly how unoriginal Donnie’s diabolic schemes are, flip the page.

Source: Shareif Ziyada/MTV/TRL / Getty Cyn Santana’s Words About Dating Black Men Bite Back The future Mrs. Joe Budden shared her dating preferences on a podcast from two years ago, and now it’s coming back to bite her in her Latina azz. Folks online have been rallying behind Cyn Santana, the mother of Joe Budden’s son, after a “ Love and Hip Hop episode ” revealed he’s been pretty much treating her like trash. Welp, the remorse last about a day until Twitter users shared a 2016 clip from Angela Yee’s “Lip Service” podcast where Cyn stupidly said she preferred Black men because they put Spanish women on a pedestal. The conversation started about J Lo dating Diddy and Cyn was all for it… I just like Black guys and Spanish girls. Y’all can keep the Puerto Rican men, I’m good. I do Black guys all day, sorry. I did the Spanish thing…doesn’t work out for me. I think they’re too emotional. Next, Cyn began to elaborate on her preference but immediately caught herself when she started to compare Spanish and Black women. Black guys cater to us Spanish girls, especially. Like they…you know what, let me not get into it. Black girls gonna take it personal, they gonna be like “uhh uhhh”! Anyway, I’m done with the papis. You can hear it at the 16:50 mark: What do you think of Cyn’s words? She defended herself online about her poor choice of words, calling it an “old a** interview”. @Liberiangyal that’s a lie those weren’t the words. how would I know how a black woman gets treated in a relationship? I’m not in it. Old ass interview, my young ass worded something poorly and today in social media everything gets taken completely out of context smh — Cyn Santana (@Cyn_Santana) January 9, 2019 Lastly, Cyn says she’s done using the N-word and loves “THE BLACK WOMAN” Nah I’m gonna explain myself because these strangers are black women. And I especially love THE BLACK WOMAN. I’ve never in my life bashed one. Never will. So yeah ima explain myself and shed some clarity on a clip that’s being spread around with little context https://t.co/HoxxtEvxSW — Cyn Santana (@Cyn_Santana) January 9, 2019 Growing up there was always a lot of tension between a Latina woman and a black woman. Why? I never understood it. Until my recent adult years. I understood why it’s a sensitive thing. The things black women endured historically. Actually, a lot of thanks to y’all. — Cyn Santana (@Cyn_Santana) January 9, 2019 I’ve used the N word ignorantly most of my life not knowing that it was actually a bad word and it was offensive. Took that word out of my vocab. The term “Spanish” was commonly used, in urban culture, in the hood, in the ghetto, to describe a Latina. took that out of my vocab — Cyn Santana (@Cyn_Santana) January 9, 2019 Cyn is running away from the conversation, but this didn’t stop folks from dragging her, unfortunately. Hit the flip to see how people are blowing this back in Cyn’s face on social media.

The internet was immediately full of people reconsidering how they’d approached other artists. One such artist is Drake, who coincidentally had a video resurface of him groping and kissing a 17-year-old girl at his concert in 2010. Combine that with the relationship he’s gained with Millie Bobby Brown and the rumors that have swirled about him pursuing a young Jorja Smith and we have someone who fans are asking a lot of questions about.
