Donna Dragging Commences Season 7 of Black Ink Crew is here and we couldn’t be any happier. The band is back together and this season looks to be as dramatic (and punchy) as ever before. There appear to be some changes afoot as there’s a new shop opening in NOLA, but there’s one constant: the internet returning to clown Donna’s struggle tats. Remember the blackfoot tat from last season? The north remembers. When Ceaser said “…my All Star tattoo artist…” Donna should've known he wasn't talking about her #BlackInkCrew — Highly Favored (@tokingblackgirl) September 20, 2018 Donna was upset that she wasn’t chosen as one of the “best” tattooers on the team, without realizing that she was going to stay back and run the NY shop while the NOLA shop was getting put together. So she got mad for no reason, allowing everyone else to just clown the hell out of her horrible tattooing. Everyone wins!
Getty Images Drake’s Dad Tattoos Son’s Face On Him For anybody who might not have known that Dennis Graham was Drake’s father, there’s absolutely no denying it now. The proud daddy got Drake’s face prominently inked on his right arm, in a photo with Drake’s signature pout and freshly-sharpied hairline. Sources told TMZ that Drake’s dad met tattoo artist Money Mike at his birthday party and told him he wanted to get the ink to match Drake getting his dad’s mug shot tattooed on his arm in 2014. Money Mike went to Dennis’ house only a few days later and got him right with Drake’s face in a 4-hour session. He even did the tattoo for free. Dennis still has some work to do if he wants to catch up with his son’s tattoo addiction . Drizzy has the faces of Sade, his father, Lil Wayne, and a bunch more. Y’all feeling Daddy Dennis’ fresh ink?
Rob Kim/WireImage/Getty/Taylor Hill Be easy… T.I. Drags Joel Osteen T.I. is none too pleased with a Megachurch Pastor who dragged his feet about sheltering victims of Hurricane Harvey. After Joel Osteen got draaaaaaagged for not volunteering to help Houston residents displaced by flooding, the Lakewood Church leader decided to finally open his doors—even though he denied that they were closed in the first place. “We have never closed our doors,” Senior Pastor Joel Osteen said in a statement quoted by ABC and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “We will continue to be a distribution center to those in need. We are prepared to house people once shelters reach capacity. Lakewood will be a value to the community in the aftermath of this storm.” Mind you, Lakewood Church previously released a statement saying they were “inaccessible” due to severe flooding. “ Unfortunately for Osteen a BIG mad King Of The South heard about the messy church business going down and decided to drag him to Ecclesiastes for being a”clown” and a “fraud.” “This is why people (like me) don’t trust the mega churches. How can someone (especially a so called man of God) make 70+Ms a yr TAX FREE from citizens of a city that’s now in distress & in dyer need of food water & shelter NOT OPEN THE DOORS OF GODs HOUSE (supposedly) to help those in need?” said Tip. “@Joelosteen YOU SIR ARE A FRAUD!!!! Ministers,preachers,pastors, reverends are all supposed to be SERVANTS sent here to do the LORDS work. Not just sitting back in comfort watching as satin [sic] has his way!!!! FOH!!!” SHEEEEESH. See what happenes when you piss off Trouble Man??? What do YOU think about Tips’ message to Joel Osteen??? More on the flip.
