Bhad Bhabie Drops ‘Bestie’ Video Starring DMX Never thought we’d see the day that a hardcore hip hop legend like DMX would team up with a 15-year old Dr. Phil guest turned rapper like Bhad Bhabie — but alas, we’re here. On Monday, Bhabie dropped the visuals to her new song “Bestie” featuring Kodak Black , and although the “ZeZe” rapper was noticeably absent, seeing X as a masked killer in the Michael Garcia directed video made the whole thing worth it. This is DMX’s first noteworthy appearance since being released from prison last month. Check out “Bestie” above. Thoughts?

The cash reportedly came from an advance after the Louisiana rapper signed a new record contract and family funds. Mystikal, real name Michael Tyler has been in jail since August 2017 due to charges including first-degree rape and second-degree kidnapping. Mystikal’s lawyers believe that he will eventually be cleared of all charges. His lawyer, Joel Pearce told TMZ “Based on all of the evidence we have, we strongly believe that an amicable resolution is not only possible but probable as an outcome in this case and that Michael Tyler will never be made to return to jail for a crime he didn’t commit.” Mystikal was sentenced to six years in state prison in 2004 after pleading guilty to forcing his hairstylist to perform sex acts.

Jordan’s Sundance Film Festival flirtation caught the attention of more than one onlooker apparently… Sources told Page Six the stars of ‘If Beale Street Could Talk’ and ‘Black Panther’ arrived to Tao’s Park City pop-up separately but “within 10 minutes of each other,” and wasted no time spending the entire time together! A source said: “They were put at separate VIP tables, but Kiki quickly made her way over to Michael’s table. And they seriously never left each other’s side. Canoodling to the max.” The source added, “She would have her hand on the back of his head rubbing it as he whispered in her ear and [he] kept kissing her cheek.” Even though “it was clear to everyone in the room that they were together,” the source surmised, we hear that the stars’ entourages were “protective about them not taking a photo together.” Jordan and Layne also left the event at the same time. Rubbing the back of his head, eh? Y’all know what that means… Chocolatey smithereens!

Along with winning Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, the thespians of Wakanda also destroyed the red carpet with lewks for the ancestors. However, despite the turtleneck greatness from Chadwick Boseman or the Black-don’t-crack aura from people like Angela Bassett , one BP star had critics and fans more…divided. Michael B. Jordan showed up in a cross-body Louis Vuitton harness that was splattered with the label’s signature monogram. The watercolors of pink, lilac, white and black hit against Jordan’s double-breasted navy and black suit. Peep a closer look below… Source: Splash News / Splash News While some thirsty commentators were here for the floral-looking harness… michael b jordan in a harness!?? P H E W — ya girl ! (@cptcaroldnvrs) January 28, 2019 Others took a more critical, direct approach… i will break my silence on the michael b jordan harness: no! — hunter harris (@hunteryharris) January 28, 2019 Michael B isn’t the first star to bring harnesses to the red carpet either. The unorthodox accessory has the potential to become a popular trend. According to Vogue , we have the head of Louis Vuitton’s menswear Virgil Abloh to thank. The designer revealed “harness-wear” at a presentation for his Spring 2019 collection and it didn’t take long for big names to notice the look. First, Call Me by Your Name star Timothy Chalamet wore a Black sequined harness at the 76th Golden Globes… Then actor, singer and model Kris Wu debuted a black leather harness look at Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2019 show in Paris… With Michael B. taking the reigns…or the harness, it’s clear this trend might not be leaving anytime soon. With that being said, certain conclusions can be made about the impact harnesses can have on the culture. Hit the next pages to find out what they are!
Source: Michael Lavine/ FOX / Michael Lavine/ FOX “The Passage” Actress Caroline Chikezie Says The Show Is Full Of Black Girl Magic Tonight FOX is set to air their new show “THE PASSAGE.” which focuses on Project NOAH, a secret medical facility where scientists are experimenting with a dangerous virus that could lead to the cure for all disease, but also carries the potential to wipe out the human race. When a young girl, Amy Bellafonte (played by Saniyya Sidney, who was in Fences’ and ‘Hidden Figures’) is chosen as a test subject, Federal agent Brad Wolgast (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) is tasked with bringing her to Project NOAH, but ultimately becomes her surrogate father who does everything in his power to protect her. The show also stars British actress Caroline Chikezie who also appeared on the cable series “The Shannara Chronicles,” the streaming series “The Governor,” which was filmed in Nigeria and in the award-winning film ‘Babymother.’ Chikezie was also featured in “Eragon,” “Aeon Flux,” “Breaking and Entering” and “The Sweeney.” We spoke with Caroline about her role as Major Nichole Sykes, the many instances of black girl magic on “The Passage” and filming in Atlanta vs. filming in Nigeria. Check out our interview below. Source: Michael Lavine/ FOX / Michael Lavine/ FOX BOSSIP: Tell us about what drew you to this show and this role? Caroline Chikezie: It all started when I got the script for the pilot. I loved it and as I read it I could just see myself being Dr. Sykes, so that’s always a good thing. I just auditioned and got to be the last woman standing. My character is a very complicated individual. She’s a King because she commands men, and is fearless. Very fearless. The type of person you’d want to have on your side in a crisis situation, she’s very cool under pressure. She understands that there will be consequences for decisions she makes and is willing and capable to accept whatever fallout comes from her decisions. She’s a bad a**. A strong, black woman unapologetically. BOSSIP: Black girl magic was such a big thing in 2018. Could we touch a little on that and how the show taps into it with your character and Saniyya Sidney’s character Amy Bellafonte? CC: First of all, Saniyya is a movie star. I wouldn’t even call her a princess, I’d call her a queen. She’s so mature. Acting is just so effortless to her. It’s just awesome to watch her grow and when you think black girl magic there’s nothing more magical than Saniyya Sidney as the lead role Amy and my role as Major Nichole Sykes. For young girls watching we’re giving the opportunity to show that we are capable of anything. When I was growing up, we could only get the best friend role, or the role where we are killed, or hurt, or a lowly girl. Not that any role is lowly, because it is an honor to be cast when working as an actress, but just like finally we get to be represented as strong woman roles because that’s our rightful pace. We should be celebrating it, so I’m grateful. Source: Michael Lavine/ FOX / Michael Lavine/ FOX BOSSIP: Why should Bossip readers be interested in watching “The Passage”? CC: It’s got something for everybody! You’ve got the big heart, you’ve got a love triangle. My character is involved in a love triangle — we’ll see how that unfolds. There are a lot of characters I feel like your readers can connect with. Like mine and her journey through the show. How she handles being in an interracial relationship, how she navigates being a boss lady in a white environment. There’s loads of issues I think readers can relate to. BOSSIP: Is there anything you’ve learned that would be useful in an apocalyptic event? CC: I had to do some shooting practice, because my character uses guns, so I’ve learned that. Also, my character is a runner so if there’s ever an apocalypse I’ll be able to run! Source: Michael Lavine/ FOX / Michael Lavine/ FOX BOSSIP: What are the pros and cons of shooting in Atlanta vs. filming in Nigeria? CC: I love shooting in Nigeria, because of the food mostly. I’m British-Nigerian. The closest I’ll get to feeling like I’m home in America is shooting in Atlanta. I love Atlanta, in fact, I plan to move there. I was born and raised in the UK. Check out a fun video of Caroline and her costars from “The Passage” below: “The Passage” airs tonight Monday, January 14 on FOX. Will you be watching?
Lil Wayne on Nike, Michael Jackson, Shaq & More Lil Wayne talks about buying his first Mercedes-Benz at age 15, how Birdman bought him a BMW Z3 drop top soon thereafter, and how his Bentley broke down at a daiquiri shop. In the topic of Michael vs. Prince, he chooses Michael Jackson and talks about dressing up as MJ as a kid, with one sock on and his grandmother’s wig! Although the regarded “greatest rapper alive” doesn’t do many on camera sit downs, his interviews are also entertaining, and somewhat informative. Weezy claims he gotta choose checks over stripes because thats what the girls liked to see him draw in high school, and they would ask him to draw a Nike check on the cover of their folder, making the brand a chick magnet. If that’s not a good reason to be team Nike, I don’t know what is. Check out the full interview and let us know your thoughts! Continue reading →
Source: David Livingston / Getty From domestic violence accusations to crystal meth charges , it’s not a secret that former child actor Orlando Brown hasn’t taken the best path in life in the past few years. Now, he may be adding “deadbeat Dad” to his resume. On the Dec. 21 episode of “Dr. Phil,” the “That’s So Raven” star admitted that he has fathered numerous children, so many in fact, that he can’t remember all of their names and ages. “I got a 2-year-old, 4-year-old… 5-year-old, 8 and 11.” He added another surprising detail to the mix by mentioning, “[The] 2-year-old still in the belly. We don’t know [the name] yet.” Brown’s friend told Dr. Phil that he called the show because he’s extremely worried about the actor’s weakened psychological state. “I called in because Orlando, he has mental problems. He’s burnt so many bridges, no one wants to deal with him. If you can’t help, he does not have a chance,” one of Brown’s friends explained during a call-in during the episode. “Out of nowhere, he’ll say: ‘Michael Jackson is my father. I own Neverland.” To show his love for the King of Pop, during his interview he rocked a pair of contacts that made his eyes closer resemble that of a snake’s . “They’re my Michael Jackson eyelids from ‘Thriller,’” Brown told Dr. Phil. Brown continued by claiming he’s Jackson’s son. “My full name is Orlando Brown Prince Michael Jackson Jr. aka Blanket,” Brown claimed. “My nickname I gave to myself. My father was Michael Jackson, the great Michael Jackson…I used to always wonder why I’m so astronomically blessed and gifted when it comes to being talented. I rap, sing and I do everything immaculately,” he stressed. Adding, “The eyes. And also just speaking to different Jackson family members that, you know, have confirmed it. So yeah, it’s a blessing to know that. I can sit here today and say, that yeah, that Michael Jackson was my father.” Before the interview ended, Dr. Phil offered Orlando help at a Malibu addiction and mental health treatment center. Sadly, he refused that help on air. “That sounds cool but I don’t have the time right now,” he said. “I really wish I did have the time. I’ve been going through treatments and a lot of group sessions and all of this stuff unnecessarily in the first place. I refuse to let myself believe that, you know, I have a problem.” He also talked about what he’s trying to focus on now. “Right now what I need help with is me basically having my home, my kids and my life. That’s all I need,” he said. “Like I mentioned earlier, four years sober. I don’t think I need the help.” “I think some people on the outside need to grow up and they need to really take responsibility for what they’ve done in their lives and stop trying to hide between other people’s masks,” he continued. “I just got out of rehab, out of the E.R. I’m not doing no more time away from my kids that I need to. I want my kids to be with me in Neverland.” Thankfully, according to Dr. Phil after the show ended, Orlando later accepted his help and is currently in the center getting the attention he so desperately needs. We hope he gets well for the new year.

This video sparked a real live social media feud with Offset challenging the seasoned rapper to compare bank accounts. The 5 times platinum rapper shrugged him off… After a bit of a back and forth with Offset on social media, Layzie Bone further explains why he even came for the three rappers. He says it’s because they’re “disrespectful” to their elders and essentially tarnishing the culture with their “glamorous” rudeness. Hit play to listen. Continue reading →
