Source: Hewitt / London Entertainment / SplashNews / Splash News Internet Still Believes Drake Chopped Down Kylie This can’t be life. First we were shocked and appalled at the sudden split between Kylie and Travis . We didn’t really see it coming, but immediately rumors started swirling that Drake was at the center of the split. That’s right, the rumors had Drake and Kylie having some sort of relationship or at least some sort of physical entanglement. Then things went even further as reports had the two continuing some sort of relationship. Well, Drake and Kylie’s people quickly shot down those rumors. Because nobody wants to see that mess, especially if it means we don’t get any more SICKO MODE songs?!?! Well, despite the denials, the internet is convinced they are still bumping bits against each other. The reactions are petty as all hell… Drake outside Kylie’s crib after hearing her and Travis split up: pic.twitter.com/QL60DfHu6F — ʍąяЌʍ๏ (@markmo101) November 7, 2019

Source: Kevin Winter / Getty Since the passing of rapper Nipsey Hussl e, his family and the mother of his eldest child, Tanisha Foster , have been embroiled in a custody battle. Want Exclusives First? Click Here To Sign Up For Our Newsletter! While the family petitioned the court for guardianship, Foster wrote that she was opposed to the idea of her daughter living with her aunt, Nipsey’s sister. “I strongly oppose both of the petitions filed by Samantha Alexandria Smith, Samiel Asghedom and Angelique Smith,” Foster says. “I am the mother of Emani Asghedom and there is no good reason my rights as her mother should be taken away from me, or otherwise reduced as her mother.” Apparently, a judge didn’t agree. SEE ALSO: Lauren London Granted Guardianship Over The Estate of Her & Nipsey Hussle’s Son According to TMZ , Nipsey’s family was granted guardianship of 10-year-old Emani Asghedom. The family has called Foster unfit while she maintained that after Nipsey’s death, things became very difficult for her. She claimed that the family kicked her out of the apartment Nipsey paid for. She claimed the family tarnished the co-parenting relationship she and Nipsey had built over the years. The court found that Nipsey’s family provided enough evidence to prove that Nipsey’s siblings Samantha Smith, Sam Asghedom and his mother Angelique Smith have been named Emani’s guardians. Emani is expected to inherit half of Nipsey’s 2 million estate. The son he shares with Lauren London, 3-year-old Kross, will inherit the other half. SEE ALSO: Nipsey Hussle’s Daughter Honors Him At Her Graduation Lauren was recently granted guardianship of the estate, meaning she will manage the money left to Kross. Tanisha hasn’t spoken explicitly about the custody ruling, but she did share this image on her Instagram page.

Source: @photosbynae / iOne Digital Ever since Ari Lennox ‘s debut album Shea Butter Baby dropped back in May, it’s been the laid-back record of the summer. The retro yet fresh sounds represent the many sides of Ari, whether she’s taking it easy with a lover, enjoying her new apartment or going on broke adventures with bae. In a chat with Global Grind , it’s clear that she’s a dynamic woman. Her voice moves between soft, confident and stern depending on the topic of discussion. Although romance is the main game for her music, other issues concern Lennox as well, including foul treatment she says she received at a Zara store in London and the steady gentrification of her hometown, Washington D.C. Check out what she has to say below along with happier moments, such as discussing the greatness of Missy Elliott. So first off, you always have the best music videos and recently, the MTV Video Music Awards aired with Missy Elliott receiving the Video Vanguard Award. Is there anyone who was influential to you in terms of your visuals? Yea, Missy Elliott is responsible for my whole career like…from her harmonies, to her beats, her dancing, her style, even though I can’t dance for sh**. But I’d like to pretend in my head that I can one day be that. She’s responsible for so many phenomenal people’s careers like freaking Aaliyah, Tweet, Jazmine Sullivan, Monica . My favorite songs from Monica are all Missy. My favorite stuff from Ciara is all Missy. Destiny’s Child. “Signs” by Beyoncé changed my whole life. So I just want to be like her and all the people that she’s helped with their careers. Who do you think should get the next Video Vanguard Award? Did Timbaland get one? Yea, Timbaland because he’s next to Missy to me. Pharrell . Did Diddy ever get one? Diddy needs one. Actually, Diddy’s next. Absolutely. Back in July, you tweeted about a bad experience in London where you said you were racially profiled at a Zara store. What was your thought process before making that tweet? Were you anxious or are you someone who’s never afraid to speak up about issues like that? At this point, I don’t even want to go into stores anymore because I don’t want to hate no more brands. Because I really like to shop, I like clothes. But I had to tell the world that Zara, you’ve been trying people , our people for too long. And then even when I said it, they didn’t care. No apology. Nothing. They were just like, oh you know ‘hit us up,’ or they told me to hit them in their DMs or something. But I’m just like, I’m never going to shop here again. And people always try to say America’s the only place. Sometimes I feel like going to Europe some people are like ‘Trump, oh I hate Trump,’ and I’m like ‘I did not vote for that ni**a, like I don’t fu** with him either.’ Sometimes I feel attacked a little bit when people start talking about America. It’s probably one of the most racist countries, but there’s racism in other places too. And I think it’s important for the world to know, oh ya’ll trifling too. Source: @photosbynae / iOne Digital You’re a D.C. native and recently #DontMuteDC has gone viral as a response to gentrifiers trying to silence go-go music in D.C. How did you feel when the hashtag first started popping off? I think that was the icing on the cake. W hen you’re threatening culture, the foundation of the city, like the thing that made people come together. It’s community, it makes people feel free and happy. I just remember growing up and burning go-go on my CDs. Like “Roll Call” by CCB was on repeat and “Sexy Lady” by UCB. This is our sh**. Folks are not only coming in and jacking up the prices and making people leave, but you’re trying to cancel a whole genre. It’s like who the fu** do you think you are? It’s disgusting. I just feel like there’s too much White madness going on in D.C. and it hurts so bad. With all the music and the work and the politics, what do you do to keep a clear head? A lot of Sims 3 honestly. Sims 3 , Netflix, Amazon Prime. Just being able to buy my favorite movies and find out about new movies. I wish I could focus in silence and just read. I would like to start reading more. But my mind is just so all over the place. But usually, it’s just Sims 3 , some of my favorite TV shows and my dog mostly. Any movies coming out you plan on seeing? This Harriet movie I would like to see. Then there’s Black Panther 2 and It Chapter 2. I want to see that. Anything dark, I want to see. Like super thriller vibes, I want to see.
Source: SplashNews / Splash News Rihanna Dines Out In Santa Monica With Billionaire Boyfriend Hassan Jameel And Family After two years together, RihRih is happily loving it up with Hassan Jameel still! And it looks like the couple has her family’s approval. Source: INF Photo/ SplashNews / Splash News Just this week, Rihanna, her billionaire boyfriend Jameel, Rih’s mom Monica Braithwaite and one of the singer/Fenty designer’s brothers were spied dining at the new Mason restaurant in Santa Monica. The dinner went down Tuesday, according to E! News reports . The 31-year-old Bajan entertainer and entrepreneur was witnessed outside the restaurant wearing a beige dress with a thigh high slit, complemented with strappy stiletto sandals. “They enjoyed a full dinner of Mason’s signature seafood & steak plates with wine and specialty cocktails,” a source told E! News. “At one point, they were arm in arm. They stayed a good few hours of the night until dark.” Arm in arm eh? Sounds affectionate. And it seems that it’s not just Rihanna’s family who approve. In June, ELLE published a photo of the couple cuddling in the Amalfi Coast while lunching with a group believed to be HIS family! The photo agency who took the snap revealed the couple took a boat ride and had lunch at Lo Scoglio in Nerano with the group. That’s a good sign right? Rihanna and the 30-year-old vice chairman of his family-owned conglomerate, Abdul Latif Jameel, have been linked since June 2017 when they were photographed kissing in Spain, but some reports say the couple have been dating as early as January 2017. Rihanna relocated to London earlier this year which some folks have speculated may have been in order to be closer to Jameel, although her Fenty line is designed in France and manufactured in Italy, so it also is a logical business move. Speaking of business, Jameel’s family business owns exclusive Toyota distribution rights in Saudi Arabia, the family owns their own pro soccer league and the family fortune is estimated to be around $1.5 billion. Not bad riiiight?!
Source: Chelsea Guglielmino / Getty It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a few months since the tragic passing of Nipsey Hussle . His murder affected the people of Los Angeles, the hip-hop community, and shook the world as a whole–and even though he was such a strong presence in our community before his passing, that’s only been amplified since he lost his life.He left such a huge impact on people that never even met him, so it’s no surprise that those who actually knew, loved, and spent time with him really cherish how important of a person he was to so many people. August 15th marks what would have been the rapper’s 34th birthday, and to celebrate the occasion, all of Nipsey’s friends have spent the day sharing the most touching tributes for him. Here are some of the loving captions and heart-warming photos posted about Hussle on his birthday by friends, family, and everyone in between. You already know it’s going to be a tear-jerker, but there’s not way to skip over such an important day for someone who has been in the hearts of so many every single day since his passing. Of course, Nipsey’s other half Lauren London posted some photos of her king, along with a picture of Nip’s sister Sam posing next to a portrait of him. View this post on Instagram Today We celebrate You my beloved Today we honor you King We are to live in our highest vibrations today because that is how Nip lived his life. We should encourage and inspire today because that is how Hussle lived his life . Today we should love and give truth because that is how He lived his life . His Purpose still lives on with us all. Ermias wasn’t a sad soul. He was a powerful strong magical soul. Today is the day we lift up Long Live My other half My beloved King Ermias Nip Hussle The Great! I miss you I love you Still here holding it UP!
