For those of you who are not sure the awesome, talented rapper, Rapsody, she is one of the faces of RocNation. Throughout the last seven years, she has dropped three albums; her latest album dropped August 23, 2019, titled ‘Eve’. The album was very sought out. Each song was inspired and named out after some very influential black woman like Michelle Obama, Aaliyah, Serena Williams, Nina Simone and more. She stressed the importance of how we need to learn more about these powerful black women and what they embody; if fans aren’t already informed on. Some of the people she sampled are legendary artists like the late Nina Simone and Phil Collins. The highly anticipated album can be streamed on Spotify, AppleMusic and Tidal.

Source: Noel Vasquez / Getty Earlier this month we reported that Empire actor Terrence Howard announced that he would be done acting following the conclusion of this season of filming. He was asked about decision on before the Emmy’s this past Sunday. His answer was very… bizarre. Terrence Howard explaining why he left Empire is the funniest thing you’d see today. Lmaooo pic.twitter.com/OeTHSZn1Rz — JAGS (@EtniesJags) September 24, 2019 “I’ve spent 37 years pretending to be people, so that people can pretend to watch and enjoy what I’m doing. I made some discoveries in my own personal life with the science that Pythagorus was searching for I was able to open up the flower of life properly and find the real wave conjugations that we have been looking for 10,000 years. Why would I continue to walk on water for tips when I’ve got an entire generation to teach a whole new world.” It appears that Terrence Howard believes he has found a greater purpose in life than just acting. Howard continued to talk about frequencies and wavelengths in life that make things make more sense. “All energy in the universe is expressed in motion, all motion is expressed in waves, all waves are curves so where do the straight lines, so when I took the flower of life and opened it properly I found a whole new wave conjugation that exposed space.” The second part of that answer really leaves more questions than it answers. But Howard seems pretty set on being done with acting, and appears to be moving into conspiracy theory territory. Nonetheless, I wish Terrance Howard prosperity in his life after acting. The new season of Empire premiered last night and will come on Tuesday night’s on FOX.

Our apologies to those who may have found that headline a bit crass. And to those who want to avoid Bachelorette spoilers . But folks – it’s fantasy suites week, which means it’s time to send the kids to bed and get straight down to business. Last week, Hannah was introduced to her finalists’ friends and families. (Or in the case of Luke P., a bunch of people he paid off to pretend he’s a decent human being.) Anyway, meeting the parents is great and all, but this week, she’ll make her acquaintance of an even more important influence in the life of her fiance-to-be. It’s a figure who looms (hopefully) large and probably makes many important decisions on her future husband’s behalf. We’re talking, of course, about his ding-a-ling. Now, if you’ve been keeping up with our Bachelorette spoilers , then you already know who receives Hannah’s final rose. But that doesn’t mean he’ll be the only one who gets her flower, if you know what we mean. (If you’d prefer to be surprised, read no further, because we’re about to get all spoiler-y up in here.) Okay, so now that all the info-phobes have tossed their phones into the nearest body of water, it’s time to tell you that Kevin Spacey was dead the whole movie, and Bruce Willis was Keyser Soze. Just a little spoiler humor! But seriously, folks, we’ve known for quite some time that Luke P. gets sent home in large part because he slut-shamed Hannah for having sex with one of the other guys. So that’s double good news: Hannah takes at least one finalist to pound town, and it’s not Luke P. We also know that Jed Wyatt proposes to Hannah in the finale , and she accepts. It was later revealed that Wyatt had a girlfriend waiting at home while filming the show, and Hannah has reportedly kicked him to the curb as a result. But that’s a separate issue entirely. During the filming of tonight’s fantasy suite episode, Hannah was still very much smitten with Jed. And so, when previews for the episode revealed that Hannah has sex with someone in a windmill, it was widely believed to be Wyatt. But according to spoiler master Reality Steve, that’s not the case . “In Monday’s episode, you’ll see that Peter is Windmill Sex guy,” Reality Steve writes. “And there is a condom in the room that they joke about since he was the one that had it in the console of his car.” Yes, Peter Weber is the guy who goes full Don Quixote and thrusts his lance in a windmill. (Sorry, we couldn’t resist.) (We’re not ruling out the possibility that Hannah bangs Jed as well, but Peter was the infamous Windmill Guy.) So, that’s where we stand heading into tonight, and given what we know about Jed, that may seem like a bit of a bummer. After all, Peter was a fan favorite from the start, and poor Hannah wound up with a dude who was secretly in a relationship. So in a way, we guess today’s revelation that Peter also had a secret girlfriend is bittersweet. Basically, Hannah would’ve wound up with a cheater regardless. The long and short of it? The folks in charge of casting really need to do a better job of weeding out the d-bags. View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Spoilers: Who Gets Exposed? Who Wins Hannah’s Heart? [UPDATED] Reality Steve also tweeted a bit about the Men Tell All special that was recorded last week and will air during the finale. Steve says it’ll basically be an hour-long Luke-bashing session, which is both totally unsurprising and totally welcome. At one point, Hannah even apologizes to America for allowing Luke to remain on the show for long. No need to say you’re sorry, Ms. Beast, but — actually on second thought, we’re gonna go ahead and accept that apology. View Slideshow: Hannah Brown Banged in a Windmill and Twitter Lost Its Mind

Source: Michele Sheedy / Getty Judge Orders Man To Watch Bambi In Jail This is a true case of “the punishment must fit the crime.” A Missouri poacher by the name of David Berry Jr. will have to watch Disney’s Bambi at least once a month in jail after he was found guilty of illegally killing hundreds of deer. Huffington Post reports: The Springfield News-Leader reports that David Berry Jr. was ordered to watch the Walt Disney movie at least once each month during his year-long jail sentence in what conservation agents are calling one of the largest deer poaching cases in state history. Prosecutors say the deer were killed for their heads, with their bodies left to rot. Berry was convicted in southwest Missouri’s Lawrence County of illegally taking wildlife. Three relatives and another man also were caught in connection to the poaching case. They’ve paid $51,000 in fines and court costs. According to the site, Berry has also spent time in jail for a firearms probation violation. If you’ve never seen Bambi, it’s a heartwarming movie about a young deer who explores his home in the forest with his friends—a skunk named Flower and a rabbit named Thumper. Ironically, on his journey to becoming an adult he finds love in another deer named Faline, but also learns all about the dangerous of hunters. Do you think this was a good punishment for the Missouri poacher? Click here to see his mugshot. He looks exactly how you assumed he looks…just saying.
W hen Kimberly Holmes Wiggins met her husband Rasheed at Duke University years ago, she knew she had found her soulmate. She was drawn to his sensitive, caring, and unique soul. After the two attended a wedding where her sorority sister and his fraternity brother joined together in matrimony, Kimberly and Rasheed embarked on their own love journey and began dating. While maintaining a long-distance relationship while Kimberly furthered her journalism career in Washington, D.C. and Rasheed lived in North Carolina, the two established an unbreakable bond and tied the knot in 2011. Sadly, things took a tragic turn for the couple on a Spring evening in 2016. While returning from a quick store run, Rasheed lost his life after being struck by three cars at the intersection of Universal Boulevard and Destination Parkway, not too far from the couple’s Florida apartment. The first two drivers left the scene and are still at large. The third driver—who was driving a taxi—was the only one who stopped to help Wiggins. Kimberly became concerned when she couldn’t reach Rasheed and went out with their dog to go search for him only to come across a crime scene where her husband lay in the middle of the road. In just a short period of time, she found herself in the midst of a homicide investigation on an evening that was supposed to be a movie night for her and her husband. Her life was forever changed. “Every time we would leave each other we would kiss and hug goodbye but that night we didn’t because he was supposed to come right back. When you lose someone, who plays a significant role in your life it’s hard,” Kimberly told NewsOne as she recounted what happened that night. “The real pain sets in weeks, months, and years after that. Grief never goes away, and you just learn how to live with it. One thing that is really difficult when losing a spouse is that you lose the person who treated you special.” Mourning the loss of the love of her life has been an uphill battle for Kimberly, but she has decided to turn her pain into power and has led several efforts to create positive transformation in her life as well as the lives of others. In 2017, she launched the Rasheed A. Wiggins Entrepreneurial Prize at her and her husband’s alma mater Duke University. Rasheed who was a seasoned marketing professional was the co-founder of a digital advertising agency called AdRelief. Inspired by Rasheed’s entrepreneurial spirit, Kimberly and others who were close to Rasheed believed that the scholarship fund would keep his legacy alive by giving budding business owners the funds to launch their own ventures. The 2017 winner was a company called Flower Child Remedies which is a Black-owned natural hair product line. The winner of the 2018 prize has yet to be announced. Kimberly has also stepped into the realm of policy change and is fighting for a bill to be passed in Florida related to hit-and-runs. According to a study released by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, Florida is one of the top three states with the highest rates of fatal hit-and-run crashes. Under the bill, there would be an amber alert system put in place for hit-and-runs where people would be alerted about cars that left the scene. She also has launched a grief outreach organization called Still His where she provides support and sends gift boxes to widows across the country in an effort to help them heal. She also hosts several support brunches and dinners in the DMV area to cultivate a community of women who are struggling with the loss of their spouses and penned a book about how to cope with grief and support those who are grieving. Kimberly’s latest project is a 5K run in honor of Rasheed that is slated to take place on March 23; a day before what would have been his 42nd birthday. She’s thankful that she can use her platform to help those in need, especially women of color who lack resources when it comes to seeking help after experiencing loss. “It’s hard to come from a community that tells you to keep things bottled up. But we must confront our emotions to heal. I’m appreciative of being able to use my voice,” she said. “This was one of the most eye-opening experiences for me. When getting involved with these initiatives it was about putting one foot in front of the other and moving forward. I feel incredibly blessed because I was surrounded by so much love.” SEE ALSO: Rihanna And Colin Kaepernick To Reportedly Team Up For Social Justice Project Marshawn Lynch Launches Initiative To Provide The Homeless With Smartphones [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3832050″ overlay=”true”]
SplashNews Wale Talks About His Relationship With Solange Knowles Since the internet has been all abuzz about Solange Knowles being the inspiration behind Wale’s song “Lotus Flower Bomb” we figured we’d bring your attention to this recent interview Folarin did with Angela Yee’s “Lip Service” where he actually talks candidly about how much Solange touched his life. It’s really something to see. Watch below: Really sweet right? In case you didn’t catch all his words, we transcribed them: Solange is a beautiful person, inside and out. She’s also been one of my muses, not saying I’m Andy Warhol – in my mind I am. She’s like the prototype of women I personally like. Me and her, [stutters] we used to kick it, like we was real cool, early on in my career. She taught me a lot about just music and just spontaneity and everything like that, but you know it ain’t nothin like that. Wale’s full interview is really interesting. He talks a lot about his relationship with his daughter’s mom growing apart and speaks on how growing up in a Nigerian household he never experienced much affection or saw his parents act affectionate with each other and says he now feels like he lacks sensitivity when it comes to raising a daughter. He also speaks in depth about how Mac Miller’s death affected him deeply. He claims that he is ready to be in love but he’s wary of dating women who may have history with friends of his — or women who might set him up to be robbed etc… But probably what folks will enjoy most about the interview is how he opens up about different relationships and even talks about being cheated on. He also reveals a few of his other muses. Hit the flip to see who else has inspired him.
