When it comes to the top vocalists in R&B currently, you have to mention Fantasia , Brandy and Jazmine Sullivan . So the idea that these three women would collaborate with one another on a track had the music-loving community excited. #BREAKING #Fantasia @TasiasWord just revealed that she has a song on her new album with @jsullivanmusic and @4everBrandy #Interview @team_fantasia pic.twitter.com/J35oMTs5uh — FantasiaDaily (@fantasia_daily) April 30, 2019 According to RatedRnB.com , Fantasia confirmed the collaboration in an Instagram Live video, Fantasia shared that she would be working with the two vocal powerhouses. “They are both my favorites. I turn into a little groupie when I see Jazmine. I love her and I love Bran. I wanted to kind of reach back and touch some different eras when it came to that girl group. I was like, ‘Wouldn’t it be dope if we had a girl group where it was Jazmine, Fantasia, and Brandy?’ Let’s just put it on an album.” Sadly, in promotion of her new single “PTSD” featuring T. Pain, Fantasia said the song won’t be released. But not for a lack of trying. The reason fans won’t hear it is because of industry politics. SEE ALSO: New Body, Who Dis? Jazmine Sullivan Flaunts Her Super Snatched Waist On Social Media During a recent interview with The Cheddar, Fantasia vaguely shared what happened to the highly anticipated song. “They are my favorite. They give me chill bumps. And it was something I really wanted to happen. Unfortunately, it did not go through. Next time. It’s politics to this, and when you’re doing something independent and you’re stepping out against the grain, sometimes storms and tests will come; but I’m used to the rain, so I’m okay.” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.

Source: Gabriel Olsen / Getty Meagan Good , 38, and husband DeVon Franklin , 41, recently visited The Dr. Oz show to open about their marriage, their faith and their fertility journey. During the couple’s visit, which airs on September 13, they talked with Dr. Mehmet Oz about the journey they’re on to eventually have a child, including Meagan’s efforts to get in her best shape in preparation for their efforts to conceive a child. SEE ALSO: Meagan Good Doesn’t Always Go To Church With Husband Because Church Folk Haven’t Been Kind [VIDEO] “That’s a part of why I did the 30-day challenge as well, because I wanted to really set an affirmation into the world and say, ‘Okay. I’m preparing myself for things that I want career-wise, but I’m also preparing myself for having children,’” she said. “And again, for me it was really about how do I say to myself, like this is every part of me getting ready for that? So yeah, we’re in a place now where we’re looking to do it.” And while the couple is ready to try, they revealed that months earlier, at the top of the year, they took the advice of Dr. Oz and decided that Meagan would freeze some of her eggs. “As I’ve come on the show and we’ve been friends for years, you always encouraged us to freeze eggs. And so we did that,” Devon said. “At the beginning of the year, we froze eggs and we probably wouldn’t have done it without your urging. So thank you.” Sign Up For Our Newsletter!

Email Submit Dr. Oz told them that he was proud of the couple for deciding to be open about that decision, and DeVon said the process, as well as the journey they’ve been on, taught him a lot about waiting and preparing. “ B efore we got married, we spent a long time waiting and that waiting actually laid a foundation because in marriage — we’ve been married for seven years. So we’ve had this dialogue about having kids. And I’ve wanted kids and she wasn’t ready and then there were times we were talking about it. Because we had the foundation of waiting in patience and preparing, it actually gave us the tools we needed to be successful in marriage. I think a lot of times we’re rushing. We’re in an Instagram society. We all want it now, but there’s a lot of value in just taking time, committing to the process, and letting the process take us where it wants us to be.” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.

During an interview alongside Intruder co-star Michael Ealy with Steve Harvey back in May, she opened up about feeling like she was ready to grow their family after years of waiting. “I’ma say this, and it’s funny because I usually don’t talk about it because I was one of those people who knew I would be a mother later in life,” she said. “And we talk about it a lot. Like, [Michael Ealy] basically tried to convince me to start like last year. But now I think I’m in a place now where I’m actually ready.” SEE ALSO: Meagan Good On How She Prepares For Sex Scenes [VIDEO] [ione_media_gallery src=”https://rickeysmileymorningshow.com” id=”1790067″ overlay=”true”] Follow @TheRSMS

Some may have assumed that their complicated relationship has reached a point of mutual respect, but it doesn’t appear that we’re there quite yet. Over the weekend, Drizzy popped up at a ‘Lil Keed’ show in Los Angeles, and his attire got the internet talking.

How will Yeezus respond? Will he? Should he? If I know Kanye West (I don’t know him at all… but if I did!) then I’d say we should expect to hear a response real, real soon.

Well, over the weekend Kanye added Atlanta to his Sunday Gospel service list as he popped up at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. New Birth, which is led by Senior Pastor Jamal H. Bryant is a very popular church in the city, but still had lines like they’ve never seen before.During service Kanye played a sort of Choir director, leading his singers in gospel remixes of many poplar R&B songs such as “So Anxious,” be Genuwine.

We know all about how the Grammys mistreat her, but it’s also time to talk about the Emmys. Bey was nominated for six Emmys for her groundbreaking, revolutionary documentary “Homecoming” that broke all sorts of Netflix records and sparked even more Beyhive fandom. That doesn’t seem to matter to white awards shows as MFing Carpool Karaoke won the damn Emmy over Bey. The show with a camera on the dashboard won? Okay. The fans are disgusted and rightfully so.

Source: Photo by Johnny Nunez/WireImage / Photo by Johnny Nunez/WireImage DJ Khaled Jacks Unreleased Yeezya Right Off Kanye’s Feet In Atlanta Jordan Brand influencer DJ Khaled failed the ultimate test of temptation and loyalty this weekend. Not only that, but he posted it on Instagram for the whole world to see–but let’s be honest, we don’t blame him . View this post on Instagram #KanyeWest Gives #DJKhaled The New #Yeezys Off His Feet A post shared by 2Cool2Blog (@2cool2bl0g) on Sep 15, 2019 at 2:30pm PDT After spending the weekend in Atlanta for Diddy’s Revolt Music Summit, DJ Khaled hit the airport to take the private jet back to Miami to be with the family . While heading to the PJ, he spotted his friend in music Kanye West, who was leaving Atlanta after holding his own event, Sunday service . Of course, Khaled had to catch up with his past collaborator and friend, and ultimately ended up securing some Yeezys in the process. And by secure, we mean Kanye blessed Khaled with his unreleased Adidas/Yeezy “451” basketball sneakers right off of his own two feet. It makes sense that Ye would be in a giving mood after spending all day in church, after all, walking on the tarmac boiling from Georgia heat isn’t really worth it to bless just anyone with unreleased sneakers! Hopefully, Jordan Brand is understanding and doesn’t give Khaled too much trouble for working with the competition. How could he resist?
A fter enduring a harrowing experience as a result of a flawed criminal justice system Korey Wise —a member of the Exonerated Five—is turning his pain into positivity through activism. According to the Amsterdam News , the Harlem native recently provided youngsters in his community with school supplies and backpacks just in time for the new school year. #BackToSchool : Korey Wise of the #Exonerated5 distributes school supplies and inspiration in Schomburg Plaza https://t.co/cI8xMEeVuy — Amsterdam News (@NYAmNews) August 30, 2019 Wise teamed up with a group called Friends of Public Schools Harlem Inc. for the initiative. The organization provides local schools in the community with the supplies needed to ensure the educational success of their students. Friends of Public Schools Harlem Inc. also donates funds to schools for the creation of health and wellness and arts programs. The group is on a mission to provide 4,000 students in Harlem with backpacks and supplies through a grant provided by The Migdol Family Foundation. At the event hosted by Wise at Harlem’s Schomburg Plaza over 200 students were served. Wise says he was grateful to be able to pay it forward to children from his community. “It was great to be back at Schomburg Plaza where I grew up and give something back to today’s children,” he said in a statement, according to the news outlet. “Being here and providing school supplies helps students start the school year better prepared to succeed and sends a message that somebody cares. It was great to see the smiles from parents and children. I thank the Friends of Public Schools Harlem and the Migdol Family for making it happen.” FPSH board member Jerry Migdol says that Wise’s support is instrumental in leveling the playing field when it comes to educational resources. Since being exonerated in 2002 Wise—who has become a criminal justice reform advocate and public speaker—has continually used his platform and resources to give back. In 2015, he donated $190,000 to the University of Colorado’s Innocence Project to help fight wrongful convictions.

N BA player Jarrett Allen has been dedicated to empowering the youth. The Brooklyn Nets center was instrumental in launching the team’s NETSTEM initiative—a program designed to teach Brooklyn youngsters about STEM through basketball—and has teamed up with different nonprofits focused on tech education. According to Elite Sports NY , in an effort to assist students with starting their new school year feeling confident, Allen provided underprivileged children in Brooklyn with haircuts. Looks by @_bigjayy_ | https://t.co/MhqSbGoZIV pic.twitter.com/VB1RQ0pOLj — Brooklyn Nets (@BrooklynNets) August 28, 2019 The San Diego, California native teamed up with the Children of Promise organization for the initiative. The nonprofit was created to provide support and resources for children who have parents who are behind bars to empower them to break the cycle of incarceration. The organization provides one-on-one counseling, mental health services and after school and summer camps and serves over 350 students each year. Allen took a group of children to Brooklyn’s Levels Barbershop for their haircuts. “It’s important to me because I have a lot in my possession,” he said in a statement, according to the news outlet. “I’m an NBA player, I have the dream that a lot of people want to have. So just to give back, show that NBA players care about people outside of basketball is important to me.” The 21-year-old was honored by the NBA with an NBA Cares Community Assist Award in April for his philanthropic work. Aside from his STEM education projects, within the last two years, he’s held several Brooklyn-based back-to-school events and often visits the Brooklyn Hospital Center to uplift young patients. Several NBA players are stepping up to support the youth. Los Angeles Clippers player Kawhi Leonard teamed up with the Los Angeles-based nonprofit Baby2Baby and the L.A. Clippers Foundation to donate one million backpacks to children from low-income families. NBA star LeBron James recently surprised one of the students from his I Promise School with a back-to-school shopping spree .
