2019 Grammy Awards Winners List

Cardi B Makes History With Her Best Rap Album Win At The 2019 Grammys

Source: Kevin Winter / Getty Rap’s Cinderella  Cardi  B beat out a tough Best Rap Album crowd to take home the gramophone on Sunday night and in the process, she made a little bit of history too. With her win, Cardi B is the first solo female rapper to ever take home the crown of Best Rap Album. The only other woman to have claimed to the award is  Lauryn Hill who won as a member of  The Fugees with  The Score in 1997. The union of Hill and Cardi seems to be coming up plenty over the last year and a half. Like Hill, Cardi is the only other female rapper to have a solo No. 1 song on the Billboard chart as “Bodak Yellow” assumed the top spot in 2017 as “Doo Wop (That Thing)” did in 1998. The Grammys created the Best Rap Album category in 1995 with  Naughty By Nature taking home the initial award. The category has been dominated by  Eminem and  Kanye West.  Em has six wins in the category and four of Kanye’s first five albums, beginning with  The College Dropout  in 2005 have won the most Best Rap Album Grammys. Congrats to Cardi on the history-making win!

Usher Asks Judge For Gag Order In Woman’s Herpes Case (Exclusive)

LOS ANGELES, CA – SEPTEMBER 25: Usher speaks onstage at Q85: A Musical Celebration for Quincy Jones at the Microsoft Theatre on September 25, 2018 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) Laura Helm Sued Usher For Knowingly Transmitting The Herpes Virus To Her Usher said the details in his herpes exposure case are so sensitive and potentially embarrassing that he needs a gag rule in place to protect his good name. That’s according to a new motion from the “Caught Up” singer, which asks the judge presiding over his herpes exposure case to seal evidence in the case going forward, according to the motion, which was obtained by BOSSIP. Usher said in court papers that as a public figure, he has a lot to lose if details about his sexual activities, intimate partners and medical records come out as part of the case. We exclusively revealed that plaintiff Laura Helm sued Usher earlier this year, accusing the 40-year-old Atlanta native of knowingly exposing her to herpes simplex during two sexual encounters in 2017. Usher has denied Helm’s allegations and said she assumed any risk when she agreed to unprotected sex with him. Usher insists that if the info were made public, it would cause himself, Helm and third-party witnesses “harm, annoyance and/or embarrassment,” according to Usher’s motion. He said he is especially concerned that the media and others will get the case info and use it for profit. Usher used a similar tactic in a separate, simultaneous herpes exposure case against him involving a woman named Quantasia Sharpton and an anonymous man. The father of two said his legal team tried to reach out to Helm and her lawyer outside of court about a potential protective order, but couldn’t come to an agreement. The news comes as a judge denied Usher’s request to file the motion for the protective order under seal, arguing that all court records should be available for the public to see, and Usher failed to prove how he would be harmed if he filed the gag order motion publicly. Helm hasn’t responded to Usher’s motion, and a judge has yet to rule on his request.

Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images Twitter Gives An Unfiltered Reaction Usher is making a surprise comeback with a new album on the horizon.

Footage Surfaces Of Wanda Smith’s Hubby Running Up On Katt Williams With A Gun Outside Atlanta Comedy Club [Video]

Remember how Katt Williams roasted radio personality Wanda Smith within a gnarled fingertip of her life earlier this week? Well, rumor had it that later that evening, her husband and his handgun made sure to let Katt know a thing or two about talking crazy to his wife. Neither Wanda nor Katt would discuss the incident at length, or even really acknowledge that it had happened at all. But as always…there was a passerby with a quick recording thumb that caught the whole kerfuffle on camera. TMZ has the footage start to finish. In the clip, you can see Katt get approached by Wanda’s husband Lamorris Sellers, and the two have an exchange. Katt retreats into a nearby store, while Lamorris stays hot on his heels with a visible gun in his hands. Welp…the footage shows what it shows. What do you think of the incident?

Pimp Down! Kevin Hart Defends Tiffany Haddish From Katt Williams’ Crass Criticism

Kevin Mazur/WireImage/Kevin Winter/Getty Images Hi hater… Kevin Hart Defends Tiffany Haddish From Katt Williams After Katt Williams made some shady comments about Tiffany Haddish , her homie Kevin Hart is coming to her defense. As previously reported Katt was a guest on V-103’s “Frank and Wanda Morning Show” and RIPPED Tiffany for not being funny, only being popular for wanting to sleep with white men like Brad Pitt and for not being deserving of the opportunities she’s been given. “She ain’t done a tour yet,” said Katt. She ain’t done a special. She has not proven the ability to tell jokes back-to-back for an hour to nobody,” said Katt. Now another person he shaded in the interview is speaking out; Kevin Hart. According to Kevin, Katt is completely wrong about his “little sis” Tiffany, she’s more than deserving of her accolades. “Let me break it down to you because I love to support. I go back with Tiff,” said Kevin in a video. “I remember the days when Tiffany Haddish was sleeping out her car. I remember the days when Tiffany Haddish was homeless. I remember the days when Tiffany Haddish didn’t have not a dime in her goddamn pocket. Worked hard grinded and got to where she is today and at the height of her career when most should applaud, most should celebrate some choose to down. […] So what I see is a woman who is well deserving of the position that she’s in.” As for Tiff, she’s still sending love Katt’s way. It’s official I made it!@KattPackAllDay talked about me and didn’t have his facts right! #Iwin #sheready I look forward to seeing you on Monday Katt, when we pick up our Emmys. I just want to shower you with REAL Love cause you need it, and I Love you https://t.co/WVOgZvwLZn — Tiffany Haddish (@TiffanyHaddish) September 14, 2018 Prior to his most recent rant, Katt dissed Kevin and claimed that he was a Hollywood “puppet.” He then challenged him to a $5 million battle that never happened. Do YOU think Katt’s just jealous of Kevin and Tiffany’s success???
