Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Reactions To Carmelo And Lala The two year nightmare is over . It’s been a couple of years since Carmelo Anthony and La La ended their decade-plus relationship amidst all sorts of cheating allegations and drama. La La spent the whole time putting her bawdy on blast on IG and showing the world what Melo was missing. She put that pressure on his neck and he didn’t know what to do. During that time, Melo got bought out by the Thunder and cut by the Rockets. His career has been all sorts of struggle. Now he can sleep easy knowing he’s back with his A1. However, Twitter is doing what Twitter does by giving us all their analysis. It’s all hilarious.

Hive Freak Out: Here’s What Happened When A Beyonce “Album” Unexpectedly Burned Down The Internet

Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Beyonce’s “Album” Leaks Oh, people out here trying to get SUED sued , huh? Some internet thugs decided to hack the world, releasing whole new albums from Beyonce, SZA and Solange on Spotify and Apple Music. It all started with a few people tweeting out that if they searched “Queen Carter” they’d find new music. Then it caught on like wildfire. So what are the songs actually? They’re old, mostly unreleased Beyonce tracks from the early 2000s that we bet Bey even forgot exists. Still, some are just happy to hear new Bey. Either way, the internet was set on fire and the reactions were insane as hell. https://twitter.com/so_caly86/status/1075940704675803137 https://twitter.com/Rey_De_Piedra/status/1075939295830122498 https://twitter.com/mayavado/status/1075949285412401152 https://twitter.com/noTORRIEus/status/1075949961215401985 https://twitter.com/_jazrodriguezz/status/1075938079779770368 https://twitter.com/will_haywood99/status/1075949329427431424 https://twitter.com/ElectricSusi/status/1075938323204517888 https://twitter.com/goldciaran/status/1075936021777330176 https://twitter.com/poisedslay/status/1075941178523164673 https://twitter.com/shadesofvantae/status/1075930025722036229 https://twitter.com/ateezantis/status/1075946160253108224 https://twitter.com/eitafab/status/1075950668542853120 https://twitter.com/JEONSDOLCE/status/1075949792747012096 https://twitter.com/YaaAsantewaaBa/status/1075951118478385153 “Queen Carter” pic.twitter.com/lHbQPaNfle — ho ho hoe.

Watch Beyonce And Jay-Z Perform At Global Citizen Fest: Mandela 100 [VIDEO]

Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty The Global Citizens Festival: Mandela 100 event is underway in Johannesburg, South Africa, with performances from the likes of Pharrell, Usher, Wizkid, plus Beyonce and Jay-Z. The free event is also available to stream a number of other ways on Global Citizen’s official website . Before the festival kicked off, Beyoncé wrote a letter detailing what Nelson Mandela meant to her. “I first met you in 2004 for the 46664 AIDS Benefit Concert in Cape Town, and the impact you have had on my life resonates with me today and every day,” the singer opened her letter. “Your kindness and gratitude for every experience, and your ability to forgive are lessons I have learned and will pass on to my three children.” The festival is celebrating what would have been the former South African president’s 100th birthday. It’s aim is to raise $1 billion for poor women and children across the world. Read Bey’s full letter below. https://www.pscp.tv/w/1yoKMjgpdPWGQ https://www.pscp.tv/w/1MYxNyeXNeyJw Dear Madiba, I first met you in 2004 for the 46664 AIDS Benefit Concert in Cape Town, and the impact you have had on my life resonates with me today and every day. Your kindness and gratitude for every experience, and your ability to forgive are lessons I have learned and will pass on to my three children. My entire family holds you in high regard. It is an honor for me to travel to South Africa this week in celebration of you and your efforts to right so many wrongs. You were a strategic warrior, a bold activist, and charismatic and well-loved leader. Your vision for dignity, for human rights, for peace and a South Africa free of racism and apartheid, allows us all to turn dreams into reality. I remember taking that walk with you back to the prison on Robben Island where you spent 18 of those imprisoned 27 years. I recall your measured but focused steps in as you recounted the stories of the struggles, the sacrifices and your resilience. You smiled as you talked to a crowd of artists and their guests, including my mother, who first told my sister and me about the great Nelson Mandela. In that moment I truly understood your heart and humility. You made it possible for so many people like me to reject impossibilities and understand our capabilities in making lasting change in the world. The smallest efforts could change the trajectory for so many living in extreme poverty, facing injustices, the indecency of racism and fighting for their rights as humans. As we celebrate the Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100, honoring your centennial year, I promise you that we have made your dreams our own. Your work and your sacrifices were not in vain. I will cherish every moment shared in your presence and use the lessons learned from you as fuel to stir positive ideas and solutions. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter

What’s Free: Jay-Z Jukes Janky Lawsuit Arguing That Lack Of Black Arbitrators Could Create Bias Against Him

Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Jay-Z Wins Court Battle Over Lack Of Black Arbitrators In Legal System Jay-Z is currently riding a wave of public adulation after the release of Meek Mill’s new album Championships on which the soon-to-be 49-year-old (his birth is in three days on December 4) spit some of his most poignant lyrics ever in a prolific list of on-the-nose verses over the years. One with a penchant for puns might call Jay’s verse — a victory. We say that to say, that the win that Shawn Corey Carter got in rap is nothing compared to the “historic” win that he got in court this week. According to Rolling Stone , on Wednesday Jay-Z won a battle in court that is seemingly unheard of. He argued that a lack of African-American arbitrators left him potentially exposed to unconscious racial bias. Jay is being sued by Iconix, the company that he sold is clothing brand Rocawear to back in 2007 and in that agreement, there must have been a clause about future clothing brands. Iconix argues that Roc Nations paper plane hats violate those terms. Jay countersued Iconix arguing that clause applied to Rocawear, not Roc Nation. Arbitration ensues. All parties involved are to eliminate names from a list of 12 in order to choose one. Problem is, when looking at the list Jay couldn’t readily identify a single African-American name. When he brought his concern to the American Arbitration Association who chose the original list of 12, they went through a list of 200 eligible arbitrators and guess how many African-Americans they found… Three, and one of those three had a conflict of interest and was thus rendered ineligible. Here’s what Jay’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, argued to the court: “…deprives litigants of color of a meaningful opportunity to have their claims heard by a panel of arbitrators reflecting their backgrounds and life experience,” putting Jay-Z at risk of unconscious bias by white arbitrators toward black defendants. If unresolved, the issue would “deprive black litigants like Mr. Carter and his companies of the equal protection of the laws,” he said.” Apparently, this is a thing that doesn’t happen very often where the legal system is forced to look at the disparities in the process it claims to uphold. We love this song.

Beyoncé To Settle Lawsuit Over Feyonce Clothing Line

Read the rest here:

Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Beyoncé launched a copyright infringement lawsuit two years ago against a Texas clothing line that used her name to hawk products. It appears now that both sides are working on a settlement in the matter. The Blast reports : According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Beyoncé is requesting a hearing scheduled for November 1 to be adjourned. The singer explains, “The parties have met and conferred regarding settlement and are currently involved in advanced negotiations that the parties anticipate will resolve this matter shortly.” Beyoncé says she does not expect the case with the owners of Feyonce to go to trial after all. The settlement talks come just weeks after a federal judge shut down the pop superstar by denying her motion for an injunction against Feyonce, in the case that has dragged on for years. The outlet adds that the judge in the matter does not freely accept Beyoncé’s assertion that people buying Feyonce products would be confused by the two brands and assume she has anything to do with endorsing those products. The Feyonce owners say they never once used images of the singer, nor have they attempted to frame themselves as connected to that brand. The two sides are set to lay out their terms in court on November 15. — Photo: Getty

This Youtuber Is In The News For Tipping His Waitress $10K, Here’s 5 Other Times He’s Given Away Insane Amounts Of Cash

Continue reading here:

Source: Design Pics / SW Productions / Getty Headlines about a man who ordered only water at a restaurant and tipped $10,000 have been all over the place this week–but there’s a lot more to the story than most are aware of. An East Carolina University Student by the name of Alaina was working her shift at Sup Dogs in Greenville, North Carolina when a customer came in and only ordered two waters. Once he departed, he left a note saying, “thanks for the delicious water,” along with an extremely generous $10,000 tip. Seems unbelievable, especially to the lucky waitress at the receiving end of the cash. She told the News Observer,  “I literally didn’t think it was real. I picked it up and it was a giant stack of hundreds, I was shaking and just kept asking, ‘What is this?’ I thought someone was playing a joke on me.” But the money was very real and not at all a joke. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But as it turns out, this good deed wasn’t just a one-off by some wealthy do-gooder, this was none other than  Mr. Beast . The Youtuber, whose real name is  Jimmy Donaldson , is known for his elaborate videos–many of which involve him giving away large sums of money to different groups of people like waitresses, pizza delivery guys, and the homeless. Though this wasn’t the first time Donaldson had given away huge wads of cash to some deserving servers, it was the most he’s ever given to one lone waitress. While most Youtubers take their sponsorships to either pay their own bills or buy supplies for videos, Mr. Beast commonly gets sponsored by different companies just to give the money away to strangers–and a lot of times, he ends up pitching in his own money too. If you’ve never seen one of his videos, be prepared to feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Check out these five others times Mr. Beast blessed the people in his community, giving out hundreds of thousands of dollars.   I Tipped Waitresses $20,000 As I mentioned before, this recent $10,000 tip wasn’t the first time Jimmy blessed some waitresses–but in this previous instance, he made a lot more than just one person’s day.
