Jay Z And Harry Belafonte Squash Their Beef Over Activism

Harry Belafonte and Jay Z Settle Differences Harry Belafonte famously criticized The Carters for failing to acknowledge and speak out against social injustices. Jay Z snapped back saying that his mere presence was his activism, and even called Belafonte a “fail” in one of his tracks after the incident. Well it seems all fences have been mended, as Hov was spotted attending a chat about social justice that Belafonte hosted alongside Usher, even after suffering a minor stroke. Via PageSix : Legend Harry Belafonte, 88, participated in a Q&A on “music and social injustice” with Usher on Friday, despite having suffered a seizure a night earlier. Spies said Jay Z secretly turned up and “was backstage and spoke with Belafonte and Usher for a long time . . . Then he sat in the audience for the event.” Belafonte and Jay Z had a beef beginning in 2012 when the older entertainer said, “I think one of the great abuses of this modern time is that we should have had such high-profile artists, powerful celebrities. But they have turned their back on social responsibility. That goes for Jay Z and Beyoncé, for example.” Jay Z fired back in 2013, “This is going to sound arrogant, but my presence is charity. Just who I am. Just like Obama’s is.” He even dissed Belafonte in a song, saying, “Mr. Day-O, major fail.” But it seems the two have finally buried the hatchet. Nice to see them squashing the issues they had! Looks like Jay finally saw his side of the argument… SplashNews

Black Ink Crew Chicago: Is THIS R&B Crooner Rachel Leigh’s Ain’t Isht Baby Daddy?

Who Fathered “Black Ink Crew: Chicago” Rachel’s Youngest Child? Those who caught the premiere of Black Ink Crew: Chicago probably noticed a deliberate omission of info when it comes to Ryan Henry and ex-girlfriend Rachel Leigh. While getting into the backstory of her relationship with Ryan, Rachel revealed that after their relationship ended, she had a child with a well-recognized signed artist — that ultimately ended up having little to nothing to do with her youngest child. However…his name was noticeably bleeped from the show’s premiere: This left a lot of viewers wondering what the big secret was. WHO is the recording artist whose child Ryan is helping raise? The few who followed the couple years before reality cameras descended on Chicago to film their daily dramas may already know who the toddler’s father is. But if you aren’t aware, hit the flip to find out whose slack the owner of 9 Mag has had to pick up… Instagram / Vh1

America’s Got Talent Recap: Bigger in Texas?

America’s Got Talent rode into Texas on a bull last night, hoping to lasso in a few winning acts. Who did Sharon, Howie and Howard find? Read on for a full rundown… Fiesta Bandbaz Brothers – The Iranian Acrobats already have the Vegas spirit since they lived near the area. While I wished the ladder was more impressive, the act itself was amazing to watch as the younger of the two wobbled to keep his balance. Age will clearly be a factor as the older one couldn’t really hold on as well as he could have five years ago. Still, the routine was impressive and I could see how adding some extra shine, lighting, and dramatic music could make it a contender on the show. There was oddly the perfect counterbalance of two female contortionists that were almost too perfect and it looked easy. Joe Castillo – The Sand artist was really cool but there was something a little bit off about watching him. The imagery was beautiful and since it’s the first time I’ve seen it, I’ll give him some credit. The next time we watch him in Vegas, he better up his game and think of something that doesn’t just play the patriotic card. David Smith Jr. – The Human Cannonball’s story sounded pretty scary: broken legs and a father with a broken back. The weather didn’t seem to be helping his cause because of the rain and possible CGI lightning. I give him tons of credit for going while it was raining. It was silly when they considered shooting Brittany out of a cannon on Glee, when her dummy demo burst into a billion pieces, but it was epic for a guy to really do it. His wife mentioned that the rain caused the netting to be a bit springy and he could have hit the ground even with the netting. What else are you going to do with this act though? Average Tacos El Charro De Oro – Sebastien De La Cruz was the head of the mariachi band and while he introduced his band in the beginning, we never got their name again. I liked the performance, but I have to admit how niche the group is. Consider the fact that the Grammys limited the Tejano category that I’m not even sure how many mariachi bands get exposure outside of Spanish groups. We have to think of this on a Vegas scale. A full Mexican explosion of culture where mariachi was one element could be watchable, but by itself it needs more to be dynamic. Tim Poe – There’s something very endearing about the stuttering singer and war vet. You want him to succeed, which is perfect for a reality show like this. I’m happy to see that his voice doesn’t stutter while singing, but I only find his vocal skills to be average at best. The song was a perfect fit for his story, but his pitch left something to be desired. Empty Pi
