XXXTentacion Excluded From Grammys’ “In Memoriam” Segment Due To Violent Past: Report

See the original post here:

Source: Miami Herald / Getty XXXTentacion was noticeably left out of the 2019 Grammys’ “In Memoriam” segment over the weekend. It seems the Recording Academy caught wind of the rappers’ violent past and decided against including him. “According to a source, representatives for the late rapper requested repeatedly that the Recording Academy recognize the artist, whose ‘Sad!’ was one of the most consumed songs of 2018,” Variety states. “But because of the rapper’s history of domestic violence, the show opted not to include him alongside such acts as Avicii and Mac Miller.” At the time of his death XXXTentacion had been prepping for trial following accusations that he beat his pregnant ex-girlfriend . Additionally, he was facing charges for witness tampering and harassment. A tape, in which he confesses to a crap load of violence,  leaked  in October. Back in December, Recording Academy president Neil Portnow responded to Rolling Stone ‘s question about whether or not XXXTentacion would be included in their “In Memoriam” segment. “I will tell you it’s a daunting challenge. We track those that we lose in our industry in any given year and then we have a process by which we go through it. Our on-air in memoriam — we’re lucky if we wind up [featuring] 10 to 15 percent of those we lose,” he told the publication. “Because it’s always hard choices. All of that is to say, I don’t have any answers for you now, but obviously artists who were prominent and well-known by the public are people who are recognized and we’ll just wind up having to see how it plays out.” Was it the right call?

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.

Zoe Kravtiz Naked for Rolling Stone Magazine of the Day

Zoe Kravtiz is naked in Rolling Stone, she’s emulating her mother’s famous Rolling Stone shoot you probably remember because you’re in your 50s and know who Lisa Bonet, one of the Original Cosby Girls, is…you know back when Cosby was medicated women to fuck them, even though they would have fucked him regardless, people are impressed by celebrity….and apparently celebrity children. I am sure she has a lot to say in her interview in a Magazine I am surprised still exists…because rich kids always have so much insight on thee way the world works… I don’t know what Zoe Kravtiz has been up to other than getting nude in this magazine, I don’t watch her every move, but probably could on social media… because I have found her Olsen twin level of weirdness irritating. She acted bohemian and down to earth, while we all know her dad Lenny is some rich Jewish dude who has given her everything she’s ever wanted, and that her mom has probably done the same, assuming she made money on Cosby, it was a hit show…or at maybe made money from her marriages…as women do… So seeing a rich kid making it when her parents are famous is zero impressive…. Her getting naked or half naked showing her nipples is a good way to counterbalance that….but I am pretty sure we’ve seen her naked before…she’s been playing the hippie internet feminist for a while now. But it’s still nips in a wet shirt and that’s great enough…which isn’t saying much because I find most things with tits great. TO SEE THE REST OF THE PICS CLICK HERE JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES!

Officer Lindsay Lohan: Did The Actress Police A Refugee Family And Get Socked In The Face?

W henever Lindsay Lohan is trending on social media, you know it can’t be for something good. The actress posted a series of videos of her harassing a refugee family in Russia who she believed to be part of  child-trafficking. It appears she tried to take the children and ended up with a punch in the face from the mother. See Also: Bill Cosby Sentenced To 3 To 10 Years In Prison For Sexual Assault Conviction According to The Express Tribune , Lohan posted on now deleted Instagram videos, “Hey everyone, I just want to show you a family that I met, a Syrian refugee family that I’m really worried about. They really need help.” With the strangest accent, she says in Arabic and English, addressing what appears to be a child, “You want to come with me? Come with me. I’ll take care of you guys,” she can be heard saying in Arabic and English. “Do you want to stay in a hotel tonight? Do you want to watch movies? It would be so cool to watch a movie on a TV or a computer.” She continues, “You should not have them [your sons] on the floor, you should be a hard-working woman and you should be doing what you [can] for your children, so they have a better life. If someone is offering them a home and a bed, which is me at the moment, give it to them. They will come back to you. I won’t leave until I take you. Now I know who you are. Don’t f*** with me.” She then follows the family, accusing them of trafficking children and says, “You’re ruining Arabic culture by doing this.” The mother then punches her in the face.

Detroit Museum Honors Aretha Franklin’s Legacy With New Exhibit

N early a month after legendary songstress Aretha Franklin was laid to rest, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History is paying homage to the Queen of Soul in a special way. The Detroit-based institution recently opened a new exhibit that captures Franklin’s life journey and highlights her contributions to music, Rolling Stone reported. An Aretha Franklin exhibit, “Think: A Tribute to the Queen of Soul,” will open this week at a Detroit museum https://t.co/o6rt2AumEQ — Rolling Stone (@RollingStone) September 23, 2018 The exhibit—dubbed “Think: A Tribute to the Queen of Soul”—opened on Tuesday, the news outlet writes. It features Franklin’s personal items; including ensembles from her wardrobe and copies of some of her first recordings. The exhibit also includes video footage and photos that capture pivotal moments in the singer’s career. Each item featured in the exhibit illustrates Franklin’s impact and influence in the realm of music and how she used her artistry to evoke social and political change. Amongst the items included are her 1956 vinyl recording of the song “Never Grow Old” and the red outfit she wore during her public viewing. The items will be rotated throughout the course of the exhibition. The exhibition was supported by Franklin’s estate. “The Aretha mojo lives,” museum board member Kelly Major Green told the Detroit Free Press . “It’s a beautiful tribute. We want to learn and see some things that are more intimate and touching about her. This personalizes her in a little different way.” The exhibit will be on display through January 21, 2019. The singer’s estate is reportedly working on creating a more permanent exhibit that is slated to open in 2020. There isn’t any word on where that project will be housed. Aretha Franklin passed away on August 16 after battling with pancreatic cancer. She was 76.

Cardi B: I Can’t Wait to Ride Offset’s Baloney Pony Again!!

Last month, Cardi B gave birth to her first child with Offset, just weeks after admitted that she had secretly married him . Though Cardi is recovering from childbirth, she is being very vocal on social media about her eagerness to have sex with her husband again. Folks, this is what we call being horny on main . Cardi took to Twitter to highlight an image of her husband and baby daddy Offset. Accompanying a photo of him wearing a cowboy hat, Cardi writes: “Hey cowboy, I want to take a ride on your horse.” Fun fact: she is speaking almost entirely in flirty euphemism, a fact not lost on her followers. One wrote back, suggesting that she should wait before sex: “You probably still gotta finish healing first.” That commenter was right! Childbirth is wonderful but the reality of it is pretty horrifying and takes its toll on the body. Cardi knows that and acknowledges that her follower was right … but her reply didn’t end there. Cardi B knows that she needs to wait until her body heals before she bangs Offset again. Not only that, she knows exactly how long. Cardi’s reply: “3 weeks and 4 days!” “Yes b–ch,” Cardi writes. “I’m counting ,wassup!” Good for her for knowing what she wants and for owning her sexuality. This was only part of Cardi’s interactions with fans. One fan replied: “This pic made Cardi say YEEEHAWWW!” Cardi quotes that tweet with a series of tearful laughing emojis. Another commented: “Baby #2?” Cardi adamantly replied: “Ummmmm NO.” One new baby in the house is enough. Another fan had a similar thought, writing: “Cardi about to make baby #2” “Can ya stop saying that?!” Cardi asked. “If I get pregnant again imma curse ya out !!!” That’s fair. “Don’t you want a brother or a sister for Kulture?” one nosy fan asked. “She got 3 already!” Cardi reminds fans. “Later on in life I’ll have more babies ” Cardi wrote about the baby she already has. “My baby shleep,” Cardi shared with fans. “Should i go to my basement and do a verse for TASTE?” She also commented on little changes she’d made now that she is a mother. “Ok so if you noticed i changed my nail shape from pointy to square so i won’t hurt my baby,” Cardi tweeted. That is very thoughtful! “I’m thinking about only changing my pinky nail shape back to pointy,” Cardi wrote. “So i can take my babies little boogers out.” A little graphic. Also, they make tools for that. Cardi makes some interesting tweets. One of her most recent was: “I don’t know if b–ches wanna fight me or eat my p–sy?” Cardi writes. “Both?!” She continued: “I’m with it when it comes to both.” Honestly, Cardi is such a delight. She’s a little wild — no, a lot wild — but she’s clearly devoted to her new role as a mother and is even changing her lifestyle to suit her baby’s needs. Of course, since Offset was arrested on gun charges while violating his parole, some fear that Cardi may recover from childbirth … only to lose Offset to prison. But that’s what conjugal visits are for. View Slideshow: 27 Hottest Celebrity MILFs

Drake’s Confessional “March 14” Reportedly Came Before Pusha T’s “The Story Of Adidon”

Source: Christopher Polk/AMA2016 / Getty Via | HipHopDX When Drake dropped his latest album  Scorpion  on June 29, the project came with a confession. On the tracks  “March 14”  and “Emotionless,” the 6 God admits to fathering a child with  Sophie Brussaux,  something Pusha T accused him of on “The Story Of Adidon” diss track. But according to  Rolling Stone,  “March 14” wasn’t a response to Pusha’s accusations like many assumed. A source reportedly close to Drake confirmed the track was recorded “way, way before” “The Story of Adidon.” T-Minus, who co-produced “March 14,” also backed up that narrative. “I’m assuming [Drake] called the record ‘March 14′ ’cause that’s when he did the record,” T-Minus said. “I never even heard the content of the song until the album dropped. It was something private; it was supposed to be kept secure. The information got out and I’m assuming that’s how Push knew [about the child].” READ MORE

Man Crushed Monday: The Weeknd Romance Is Over After Selena Gomez Reunites With Bieber

Celebrity Monitor / Splash News Selena Gomez And The Weeknd Have Split Selena Gomez and The Weeknd have called it quits, according to US Weekly reports. The timing is about as blatant as it can get considering Selena was spotted with ex-bae Justin Bieber SEVERAL times this weekend. Some outlets report that the Jelena reunion is very much to blame, because Selena is still in love with the Biebs: “She is done with him and is not listening to anyone,” a source told Radar exclusively , adding that her recent reunion with ex Justin Bieber played a role in her breakup from the Can’t Feel My Face singer. “She is in love with Justin and always will be. “There is nothing anyone can do or say to change that, ever.” Welp! She does have that “The Heart Wants What It Wants” song… Previously The Weeknd was said to be unbothered about Selena becoming friends with Justin again following her kidney transplant. Now that doesn’t seem to be the case, but we can’t say for sure. So is it as simple as Bye The Weekend! Hi Justin? Her friends and family are definitely guarded: “Her family and friends just wish her the best and pray he doesn’t hurt her again,” the Radar source summed up. Over the weekend Gomez, 25, and Bieber, 23, shared a low-key breakfast date in LA and the pair also attended church services together. Meanwhile The Weeknd, 27, has unfollowed Gomez’ family members and friends.
