Source: PYMCA / Getty Besides a back and forth Twitter spat with Azealia Banks , Vince Staples has been relatively quiet. However, it’s been announced that the Long Beach rapper is now signed to Motown Records, and he’s dropping new music soon. For most of his career, the “Norf Nor” rapper was signed to Def Jam via Blacksmith Recordings. Billboard reports that at Capitol Music Group’s annual meeting it was revealed that Blacksmith Recordings (owned by artist manager Corey Smyth) has moved over to the Capitol Music Group and Motown Records. “Today, more than ever, artists are evolving their professional identities in multi-faceted ways,” said Smyth in a statement. “My mission through Blacksmith Recordings is to nurture young and new talent from the ground up and enable them to expand their vision of success. We are looking at the big picture, thinking about how a musician evolves across genres, what success looks like in the first year and a decade later and what happens after the first album, the second and the third. Our goal is to reinforce career longevity and boundless potential in the artists we represent, while growing global brands around them.” Besides Staples, other acts on Blacksmith include Kilo Kish, Ted When and Benn Good. Smith reportedly is prepping to drop new music in the fourth quarter. Staples’ last album, FM! , dropped in late 2018.

Everyone knows and loves Zendaya , and as the star of the show, there’s no doubt that a lot of people first decided to check out the series because of her role as Rue . Beside a few other big names like Eric Dane from Grey’s Anatomy , a lot of lesser-known models, actresses, and influencers are making their television debut with their roles on Euphoria –and they’re absolutely killing it. Before Alexa Demie was known for her role on Euphoria , she had smaller roles on series like Ray Donovan , Marina in Love , and in films including Mid90’s and Waves . Now, she’s taking over our screens every Sunday with her portrayal of the perfectly imperfect Maddy Perez , who manages to both win over the audience’s heart and piss them off at the same time. In real life, she’s always posting immaculate photos onto her Instagram page and just gifted us with her personal ’90s glam tutorial via Vogue’s Youtube channel. Her makeup looks on and offscreen have everyone talking and after her success on the first season of Euphoria , we’re sure to see her in a lot more roles moving forward. Barbie Ferreira is another actress from the show whose built herself a real cult following online–but she wasn’t exactly unknown before hitting the small screen. On Euphoria , Barbie portrays Kat Hernandez , a girl who goes from losing her virginity to developing a whole new sexual persona entirely–a lot of which has to do with discovering that men actually find her fuller figure attractive. Even though this is her first major acting gig, the world has known Barbie for a while now because of her work as a plus size model. As someone whose been advocating for body positivity for such a long time offscreen, there’s no better person to go through that journey as Kat on Euphoria . Yet another breakthrough star who found their first acting gig in Euphoria is Hunter Schafer . Always sharing screen time with someone like Zendaya–whose been in the industry since she was a child–has to be tough, but she’s so good, you’d never know this is her first time learning lines. Offscreen, she lights up any room she walks into with her light-hearted and completely calm personality. Going from the world of modeling into a starring role on a TV show can’t be easy, and even though her role as a trans person on TV shows increasing diversity, she still makes sure to vocalize her privilege while advocating for others, including trans people of color. There are so many other women on the series that are absolutely killing it in their roles on Euphoria including Maude Apatow , Sydney Sweeney , and Storm Reid . It’s clear from their interactions online that these girls have built a real sisterhood with each other while making this series, and with season 2 already in the works, it’s going to make for even better on-screen chemistry when new episodes roll around. It’s refreshing to see a major HBO production hire up-and-coming talent instead of tapping into the same talent pool already floating around so many Hollywood productions. Now that these women have made such an impression on fans, it’ll be exciting what avenues they get into next.

In a lengthy IG post this past Friday she promised to roast all those who wanted to see her fail in her career. Complex is reporting that in a now caption-less post, Nicki took the time to big herself up for getting this far in her career and showed love to others who’ve helped her along the way saying, “12 years ago I dropped my 1st mixtape. Wrote every single word on every single song. I was so proud of that,” she wrote. “Eventually the Barbz were all wearing pink hair, Chinese bangs, & Barbie chains. Colorful wigs came all the way back in style. Everyone became Barbies & Dolls.” “I always shouted out my influences in my interviews,” she continued. “Now a days, it’s become cool to pretend u weren’t influenced by other artists. S/O to the ones big enough to do it: Kash, Asian, Cuban, Saweetie, Meg, Malibu, YOUNG MA, Ms. Banks, Lady Leshurr, etc. No female rapper (other than Trina) did a song w/me or congratulated me on my billboard accomplishments. I didn’t mind. I never felt they were obligated to do so.” But she didn’t stop there as she went on to take aim at the naysayers and haters who’ve taken shots at her along the way, promising to expose them in due time. “Y’all are rlly sick & ima call y’all out one by one on Queen Radio. Most of y’all doing these write ups have never fought for anything in life. You just sit on the sidelines & watch the doers do!” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Barbie® (@nickiminaj) on Jul 5, 2019 at 11:01am PDT While her legion of fans applauded her for talking her ish, some fans felt it wasn’t necessary for someone of her status to which the Queen rapper responded to invoking the name of Beyoncé biter, Taylor Swift .

Source: Dutch Press Photo/WENN.com / WENN Nicki Minaj Addresses Lack Of Support From Lady Rappers And Media Nicki Minaj is out to protect her legacy in a world where folks conveniently forget their Fairy Rap Godmothers . Last night, the Queen Barb went on a lengthy rant addressing the lack of support she’s being shown from fans and media. She wrote: “12 years ago I dropped my 1st mixtape. Wrote every single word on every single song. I was so proud of that, eventually the Barbz were all wearing pink hair, Chinese bangs, & Barbie chains. Colorful wigs came all the way back in style. Everyone became Barbies & Dolls.” It seems like Nicki’s biggest gripe is that she’s omitted from conversations when it comes to her impact. It’s well known that Cardi B doesn’t consider her an “influence.” Recently, Barbs attacked Meg Thee Stallion for omitting Nicki from her Top 5, but the rapper clarified in a video that she pays homage to Nicki. Onika continued, noting how its “cool” to pretend she wasn’t influential: “I always shouted out my influences in my interviews. Now a days, it’s become cool to pretend u weren’t influenced by other artists. S/O to the ones big enough to do it: Kash, Asian, Cuban, Saweetie, Meg, Malibu, YOUNG MA, Ms. Banks, Lady Leshurr, etc. No female rapper (other than Trina) did a song w/me or congratulated me on my billboard accomplishments. I didn’t mind. I never felt they were obligated to do so. Just like Beyoncé isn’t obligated to congratulate or collaborate with Normani, etc.” Obviously, Nicki’s success wasn’t due to a social media wave and notes that she came up organically, putting in massive amounts of work to top the Billboard charts. “I never had a crusade by radio stations, influencers & blogs to make my song number 1 when Anaconda was #2 on the Hot 100. I never had a group of men in the studio writing my songs for me so it took a while between albums. Please stop these write ups about what I didn’t do. Y’all are rlly sick & ima call y’all out one by one on Queen Radio. Most of yall doing these write ups have never fought for anything in life. You just sit on the sidelines & watch the doers do!!!! To my fans; I love, cherish you, adore you, and thank you. God bless you.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Barbie® (@nickiminaj) on Jul 5, 2019 at 11:01am PDT Nicki says she plans to name names on her Queen Radio podcast, so you can’t bet she gets specific with who ticked her off soon.

Source: Adriana M. Barraza/WENN.com / WENN Tracee Ellis Ross’ Black-ish Character Gets Her Own Spin-Off Black-ish is not going anywhere anytime soon. ABC has just renewed the comedy for a sixth season along with ordering another spin-off, an early series order to the prequel Mixed-ish. The show is set in the 1980s and revolves around a young version of Tracee Ellis Ross’ Rainbow Johnson. Mixed-ish was set to air on May 7 as a planted episode of Black-ish , but according to The Hollywood Reporter , that episode will now be held for next season. The spin-off will revolve around young Bow as she recounts her experience growing up in a mixed-race family in the ’80s and the dilemmas they faced over whether to assimilate or stay true to themselves when her parents move from a hippie commune to the suburbs. Black-ish executive producer Peter Saji and creator Kenya Barris co-created Mixed-ish along with writing the script for the comedy. Both will executive produce alongside Tracee Ellis Ross, Randall Winston, Artists First’s Brian Dobbins, Laurence Fishburne and Helen Sugland’s Cinema Gypsy and Black-ish star Anthony Anderson. This marks the third show in the Black-ish franchise, joining Yara Shahidi’s spinoff Grown-ish on Freeform.
Lily Rose Depp, the rich celebrity child that everyone is excited about, or maybe that no one is excited about but me….and not because I am a Johnny Depp fan, but rather because I like celebrity kids in all their entitled glory….you know always in the shadow, most don’t accomplish shit on their own, but they get to live a good life thanks to their parents’ success, all that money, those houses…from parents who weren’t hard working geniuses, but rather overpaid actors….who were only actors because they didn’t want to work to begin with….so it’s just lazy raising lazy.. Lily Rose Depp is from France, where she was raised outside of Hollywood, thanks to her mom…so she’s got that Euro hipster unshowered vibe to her…despite being in LA…living that LA vapid cunt life cuz she can…it is the place to be…. She also has two bodies, an upper body that is tiny and a lower body that has cankles, making her look sturdy enough to win the wrestling match I have in my mind for her and Amber Heard….protecting her dad’s honor….

I just did a post about celebrity kids, but the real value is in athlete kids…. The reason is that celebs have these egos, I know athletes do too, but actors think of themselves as artists, with culture, who are paid fairly and not overpaid for their nonsense.. While athletes are ghetto, they have egos too, ridiculous egos, overpaid ridiculous egos, too much money to know what to do with it, but they are jocks and don’t have culture or class or any interest in that. Athletes typically buy the dumbest shit, spend all their money and the whole thing is pretty LOLZ… Not to mention, they don’t have kids with socialites, or old money, or other artists or actors who call themselves artists…but rather with women who are strippers, waitresses, or in Josie Canseco’s case…work at hooters. It is hilarious to me that this rich brat’s mom is a fucking Hooters girl.. So staring at her tits makes it all make sense, come full circle, circle of life or some shit… JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES!
