The singer sat with BET and details her rise to stardom. She grew up in a church and ended up signed to Roc-a-Fella records, but what’s she’s up to now? You’d be surprised that Wray is still making an impact in music today as a songwriter, we just didn’t know it. Hit play to watch.
Source: Bravo / Getty Kim Kardashian Defends Khloe The Kardashians are all about preserving their image, no matter how tarnished it may be in some people’s eyes. For years, the wrap on the family, namely Kim and Khloe, has been that they have a long history of stealing men from relationships. Kim has been accused of meddling in Kanye and Amber Rose’s relationship. Khloe was accused of stealing French Montana from Trina as well as Tristan Thompson from Jordan Craig. On this week’s edition of Keeping Up With The Kardashians , Kim said she was breaking the “narrative” that this was the case. So what does she do? She calls up French Montana to set things straight. On the phone, French says that he was never with Trina when he was with Khloe. Word? Kim also says she has “receipts” that will prove her innocence in the Amber situation. Interesting. Of course, this is a classic case of “we don’t believe you, you need more people” as the internet is in total disbelief of the claims. Take a look… Kim really called French Montana on #KUWTK to verify that he wasn’t with Trina when he got with Khloe as if men aren’t serial liars.

(Photo by Theo Wargo/Getty Images for TIDAL) The coldness of the sneaker game can sometimes be akin to that of the current polar vortex that’s engulfing most of the United States and while resellers are known to jerk sneakerheads and collectors out of hundreds of dollars more than a sneaker’s retail price, one reseller found himself out thousands of dollars when he sold 50 pairs of sneakers and got a big fat IOU in return. Complex is reporting that a well-known sneaker plug named Alex Boro found himself getting stiffed out of $10,000 worth of exclusive sneakers from someone claiming to be an assistant for A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie after he was hired to find a list of sneakers only to get promised he’d get paid later on. The sneaker hustler who boasts a clientele that includes the likes of Offset, Lil Uzi Vert and French Montana took to his Twitter page to tell his side of the story that left his pockets looking like rabbit ears for almost a year. Boros recounted how A Boogie’s assistant, Sal, hit him up asking for a nice hookup with promises of more business transactions in the future if he blessed them with good prices. Sal Facetimed me with A Boogie, expressing his interest doing business with me, promising shout outs and other benefits if I can hook him up with some shoes for a good price. He gave me a list of sneakers to get for him, A Boogie, and for A Boogie's mother. pic.twitter.com/bXZcDOIDiG — boro (@akaElJefe) January 28, 2019 He kept up his end of the bargain and showed up like a sneaker Santa Clause. Sal told me to pull up to Boogie's house in NJ with all the shoes. When I asked him about payment just to confirm that everything would go smooth, he said he would pay me when I get there. I got to his house, and dropped off the sneakers. pic.twitter.com/Pxf2OcXMAY — boro (@akaElJefe) January 28, 2019 Unfortunately for Alex, Sal kept giving him the runaround on ponying up the cash for the kicks claiming he’d eventually wire him the money before ultimately ghosting him like he was a one-night stand. Luckily Alex kept all the receipts and included them with his story for the world to see. I had no other choice but to agree on him wiring me the money. I got a weird vibe from the whole encounter and I knew something was fishy. I hit up Sal after for the payment with minimal response. Sal continuously ignored me after our encounter. pic.twitter.com/y9LlGYIBkT — boro (@akaElJefe) January 28, 2019 Eventually A Boogie himself got wind of the entire situation and hit up Boros earlier this month to apologize for the transaction gone wrong and let him know he wasn’t even in on the scheme. A Boogie even took to his IG and went into story mode to address the situation. “Sneaky business went down behind my back with an assistant that was just fired because of the situation. Sorry to the sneaker kid [Boro], who is blaming it on me. I was going to help him, but he exposed information about me, which made me change my mind.” Though it sounded like A Boogie wasn’t going to rectify the monetary part of the situation, he assured everyone that he’d “take care of the mistake$ he made, but I want him to clarify that I never did business with him at all. It was all bad sidework from a person I had working for me.” For his part, Sal declined to be quoted for Complex ’s story but did deny all of Alex Boro’s claims against him. Now that it seems like his dealings with A Boogie might have a happy ending, Boro is now calling out Lil Uzi Vert’s manager for making off with a few pairs of Virgil Abloh’s OG Off-White Nike collection and some Yeezy Boost 700’s. “Fame makes these artists feel invincible. The artists see me as a kid that they can take advantage of for free shoes and they think nothing will happen to them because they are too famous, or because I look like a little kid that I will not do anything,” Boro told Complex. “I was taught to stand up for myself. Stealing is not right, no matter who the person is. If I see foul business being conducted, I will call it out.” Funny how a cold business can lead to all kinds of things getting hot.
If you follow him on social media, you know David Eason's gun collection is his favorite thing to talk about. His next favorite topic is politics, which seems to be the case with a lot of people who are obsessed with guns. Unfortunately, David has a hard time separating his gun posts from his political posts. And as a result, he received a visit today from the Secret Service. Turns out, threatening the president can get you into trouble. Who knew! Here's what we know so far about this bizarre situation: 1. The Gunslinger David loves guns. In fact, he’s bragged about the fact that he’s always packing, and he says one of his greatest concerns is that the government will take his weapons away. 2. David and His Weapon Recently, David posted this video on his Instagram page. The caption raised some red flags with government officials. 3. Bump This “They will say I’ve gone off the deep end just wait for it! #bangbangbang #bumpfire #bumpthis #nancypelosi #trump #maga,” David wrote. 4. Terroristic It’s not hard to see how Eason’s post could be interpreted as a threat against Donald Trump and Nancy Pelosi. 5. Not Messing Around The government doesn’t take this sort of thing lightly, and so, David and wife Jenelle Eason received a visit from the Secret Service today. 6. The Feds Come Calling David posted a video on Instagram, which he says was taken seconds after he finished speaking to a Secret Service agent. View Slideshow
Even before Larissa exposed Colt's cheating this week, this couple was in the running for this season's most dramatic and most controversial couple. This sneak peek of Sunday's new episode shows exactly why. Colt responds to Larissa's complaint about his wandering eye by telling her that maybe she's just “bats–t crazy.” On last week's episode of 90 Day Fiance , Larissa got into a huge argument with Colt's cousin over her motivations for marrying him. Now, the two are going out to dinner with a couple of Colt's friend, but it looks like a tense outing. Larissa is pissed with Colt. “Colt doesn't compliment me,” Larissa laments to the camera. “A real man shouldn't act like this.” “It's ridiculous,” Larissa declares. What seems to get under her skin isn't just that Colt doesn't compliment her even though she put hours into her appearance. Even when she brings it up, he instead gets defensive instead of just apologizing and assuring her that she's beautiful. Colt's friends don't seem quite sure what to make of her, referring to Larissa as a “fiery spark.” Meanwhile, Colt pulls his usual shtick — which was rubbing people the wrong way long before their current mess spilled over onto social media. Larissa gets upset, and Colt adopts a painfully patronizing tone in an effort to convince the viewers at home that he's so reasonable, so rational . In a voice intended to convey that he has the patience of mountains and the intellect of every great philosopher, Colt speaks to the camera. “I can't believe that Larissa is so angry at me,” he says, sounding astonished. This has happened before, and she is often upset over this particular issue. Doing his best to fill his voice with weariness, Colt says: “I don't understand.” Larissa spins a theory about why Colt doesn't seem to have the energy to say something nice to her when she gets all dolled up. “You don't give me compliments,” she guesses. “Because you talk to other woman.” These words, given this week's scandal, were oddly prophetic. “You give her attention,” Larissa accuses. It can be difficult to hear a loved one compliment others but not you. Colt explains that, somehow, a long day at work leaves him too emotionally drained to give her compliments or think about doing so. He then suggests that their relationship problems are Larissa's fault. “Have you ever thought that maybe it's you?” Colt asks confrontationally. Colt then accuses: “You're bats–t crazy.” That is not a nice way to speak to … absolutely anyone, let alone one's fiancee. And there may be something more sinistar at work. There exists a term: gaslighting , which is making someone believe that they're crazy, usually so that they'll believe only you will love them. While the word has been overused in recent years, what Colt is doing in this video is giving off majorly bad vibes. Compliment your fiancee. Compliment your girlfriend. Compliment your friends . (If this doesn't come naturally to you, pick one thing that was a choice — from hairstyle to leggings to shoes, etc, to say something nice about every day) Earlier episodes made Larissa seem like she was overreacting to Colt complimenting strange women. With the revelation that he's e cheater who allegedly DMs women about Larissa being nuts for sympathy … maybe Larissa was the only one saying things clearly. Just because someone gets emotional and flustered doesn't mean that they're wrong about everything.
Sophie Brussaux just cut Kanye West way down to size. With just a single sentence on Twitter. The woman best known for having given birth to Drake’s son a couple years ago has hilariously inserted herself into the ongoing rivalry between her ex-lover and his current rival. This rivalry got underway late Thursday night after West shared a request from Drake to sample the beat in the Kanye-produced 2009 track “Say What’s Real.” But Kanye was in no mood to hear from Drake, not after the artist insulted his Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 sneakers in a verse on French Montana hit track “No Stylist.” With the flood gates now open in his mind, Kanye went ahead and unleashed a rather amazing rant, even for him. He sent upwards of 80 Tweets in the direction of Drake. How did Sophie get herself involved? She saw her own opening after Ariana Grande mocked the Drake-Kanye beef by Tweeting yesterday: “Guys, I know there are grown men arguing online [right now]. “But Miley and I dropping our beautiful, new songs tonight so if y’all could please [just] behave for just like a few hours so the girls can shine that’d be so sick thank [you].” It was pretty much a perfect Tweet. And then Brussaux left a nearly perfect Comment underneath, writing: I would hardly call Kanye arguing with himself ‘grown men. This is both funny and accurate. Like we said, Kanye sent about 80 (yes, 80!) Tweets on the subject Thursday evening into Friday morning, while Drake responded with… silence. Brussaux later posted a cryptic message to her Instagram Story, one we’d have to imagine was also directed at West: “Pettiness and messiness hinder your blessings. Seriously. Spread love.” At various points in his rant against Drake, Kanye accused the singer of threatening his family members. There’s no real evidence of this, but Kim Kardashian took the side of her husband around 2:30 a.m. on Friday and also Tweeted at Drake. She told him to leave her loved ones the heck alone . If Drake somehow did utter a negative or menacing word about any of Kimye’s three kids, we’re very much on their side here. But come on: Is anyone buying what this power couple is trying to sell here? Prior to deleting all of his Drake-related messages, West himself seemed to offer the rapper an olive branch, writing on his official account: “I’m up for talking. We need to show all of these fans that black men can@talk without someone ending up dead or in jail.” Yes. Sure. Absolutely. If this manufactured, one-sided argument can end with such an important message being sent, then we are all for it. Mostly, however, we mostly feel about Kanye overall and, especially in this case, the same way Drake felt about his quasi rival’s angry words last night: Yup, we agree, dude. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

OK, so Tristan Thompson cheated on Khloe Kardashian. Everybody knows it, the Kardashians confirmed it, it’s a thing that happened. Several times. It wasn’t even early in their relationship either. (Or at least the times we’re talking about weren’t early on in their relationship, who knows if there’s been any affairs he’s gotten away with.) Nope, when Khloe was about three months pregnant with their daughter, True, he hooked up with some girls at a hookah bar . And then, literally days before she gave birth, he was once again unfaithful. For a while, there were rumors that Khloe was planning on leaving him, but by now, it’s pretty clear that’s not happening . Sure, there’s been tons and tons of reports about how unhappy she is with him. And yes, she’s posted countless vague quotes about being hurt and broken and all kinds of bad things. But he knocked her up, so their love is eternal or whatever. The thing is that even though Khloe is staying with Tristan, at least for the time being, that doesn’t mean she’s not getting some revenge. And what’s the best revenge for a cheating boyfriend? Cheating on him back, of course! But if you really, really want to hurt the guy, you don’t just cheat with any old dude. You cheat with an ex! And if you happen to have a famous ex! That’s just more salt in the wound, friend! According to a source who spoke with In Touch, Khloe got back at Tristan by hooking up with French Montana. French Montana, can you imagine? He was Khloe’s first serious relationship after ending things with Lamar Odom, and they were together for a while. They stayed friends after their breakup, too, so it’s not unthinkable that she would have reached out to him in a moment of need. As the insider claims, “Khloe cheated on Tristan with her ex French Montana. They hooked up as early as several months ago.” “Plain and simple, it was payback time.” OK, so “as early as several months ago” is the least helpful description of a timeline that ever was, but if it was “payback,” then obviously this alleged hookup happened after the cheating scandal. That means one of two things. One, she managed to holler at French immediately after the news about Tristan broke, he hightailed it to Cleveland, and they did whatever while she was super, super pregnant. Or two, they did whatever while Kris Jenner babysat True. Honestly, both of those things are a little hard to believe, but sure, let’s keep going. In Touch’s source also says that Khloe “was hurting and lonely, so she turned to French for comfort.” “Did it make her feel better that she was also getting even with Tristan? Of course it did.” “It’s like that old saying,” the source points out. “What’s good for the goose ….” Except it’s not like that old saying, because cheating wasn’t good for the goose (Tristan), it was dumb and destructive. But this source may not have heard many old saying and just wanted to be witty, so let’s try not to judge. Anyway, what’s even weirder about this whole thing is that Kim and Kourtney allegedly knew about Khloe’s affair with French. And they “completely supported it.” They supported it so much, in fact, that Kim told Khloe that since Tristan hasn’t proposed , “then she’s free to do whatever the hell she wants.” In reality, Khlow is free to do whatever the hell she wants anyway, no matter what her relationship status is. She’s a grown woman and all that. It’s just important to remember that just because you can do something, it doesn’t mean you should. No matter what the dumb goose did. So do we believe that Khloe actually got with French to get revenge for Tristan’s messy cheating scandal? View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian: Why She SHOULD Leave Tristan Thompson, But Never Will Eh, probably not. But this sure has been fun to consider, huh?
“The Rewind” Episode 7 On the latest episode of “The Rewind” , hosts Landon and DJ Franchise are once again breaking down the biggest hot topics of the week. This time they’re recapping Action Bronson’s “White Bronco” that includes a line about ladies calling the very, very white rapper Taye Diggs. The hosts ultimately give Action a 7 out of 10 for the braggadocious track. They then talk about French Montana’s new song with Drake called “No Stylist” where Drizzy once again takes shots at Yeezy. “Keep it a G, I told her don’t wear no 350s ’round me,” raps Drake dissing Kanye’s Yeezy 350 sneakers. Watch the video above for Landon and DJ Franchise’s take on both tracks, and even more of their hilarious commentary.
