The “Press” rapper broke down why she won’t be embarking on her first headlining tour despite her success. In a now deleted Instagram post, Cardi said it is more lucrative for her to do festivals rather than concerts of her own. The costs of going on tour and funding her stage production would come out of her pocket, which she isn’t ready to do. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). “I find it so funny that people that ARE NOT FANS have the biggest concerns on why haven’t I done a tour. Welp because here you go, let me break it down for you,” she captioned on the deleted post . “Let’s say if I go on tour and I do 600K a night right… sounds good but let’s get in the touring business shall we? Stage production gotta be massive since the fans pay massive so just on stage and production I will have to put about 450K maybe more a night since you know Bardigang deserve everything. Don’t forget, outfit, makeup, hair, I’ll be left with like 150k a night.” Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing!

She headlined the BET Experience Weekend and brought home $500,000. Her performance at the Palms Resort and Casino earned her $300,000. She performed at the Open Air Frauenfeld in Europe on July 11th and she raked in $900,000. “Now why would I do that now when I can go on tour on my second album while I get festival and independent Cardi concerts. Money??? Mhhhhhmmmmmm… You see ya might think I’m dumb cause my attitude or the way I think but one thing bout Bardi I loveeeee money and I know how to make it …I hope I answer ya question …Thank you. Just stop it already.” Besides being booked for the summer, Cardi is also starring in the Hustlers film alongside Jennifer Lopez and Lizzo, which will hit theaters September 13th.

I just could not right myself or stand on my own. Lying down felt like I was being submerged in water. It was this weird sensation of almost dry drowning, which is an awful feeling.” Ford also suffered a fractured skull and bleeding on her brain. While recovering mentally and physically, Ford found her way back into the gym. She has thankfully had support from her loved ones as well as a psychologist. “For me, recovery is just getting back into the gym, developing overall strength, improving upon flexibility,” she said. “I also have to do cognitive therapy and memory exercises because my memory is just terrible.” [ione_media_gallery src=”https://rickeysmileymorningshow.com” id=”1912962″ overlay=”true”] This story was originally published on MadameNoire.com .

While Hussle’s family hasn’t publicly spoken against Emani’s mother, Tanisha Foster, it’s pretty clear that they don’t deem her fit to raise Emani. While Foster has filed a petition for guardianship, Hussle’s sister and other members of the family have asked the court to grant them guardianship. According to The Blast , Foster recently spoke out against the request. “I strongly oppose both of the petitions filed by Samantha Alexandria Smith, Samiel Asghedom and Angelique Smith,” Foster says. “I am the mother of Emani Asghedom and there is no good reason my rights as her mother should be taken away from me, or otherwise reduced as her mother.” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.

Ermias had always provided for these needs up until his date of death.” She said that Nipsey also consistently gave her large sums of cash which she used to take care of Emani.

Scoot on over, Jed! And make some room for your pal Peter… it looks like he will be joining you in the hot seat this week. It pains me to say, but as fans prepare for tonight’s fantasy suites episode on The Bachelorette , new allegations have emerged about frontrunner Peter Weber. *sobs* Pilot Pete, who has successfully made it to the final four on Hannah Brown’s season, is being accused of breaking up with his girlfriend to go on the hit reality show . Sound familiar? Jed Wyatt has been accused of the same douchey crime , but with Peter… well, we just really didn’t see this coming. The sweet, loveable contestant was called out after his alleged ex-girlfriend, model Calee Lutes, had an interview with Entertainment Tonight where she spoke out about their relationship. And apparently, he ended things right before going on the dating series. According to Lutes, she and Peter met through a dating app in June 2018, while the Delta pilot was in town training for work. “We hit it off and decided to continue dating long distance after his month was up,” Lutes told ET . “It was great, we were crazy about each other.” “Even though we lived on opposite sides of the country, we saw each other often — every week/every other week,” she explained of their relationship. “It was as easy as a long-distance relationship could be.” Lutes also admitted that she and Pete went to Switzerland together in November. Mind you, this was about four months before the show began filming… and Peter is a pilot (!!!) so the fact that they traveled together isn’t at all shocking. Their relationship was “very serious,” according to Calee, and the two even discussed living together. But two days before Christmas, Weber ended their relationship during a FaceTime call. “He didn’t really have a reason why. I was devastated and completely blindsided,” Lutes recalls. “I didn’t understand why it was so urgent to end things so suddenly.” “I thought there was another girl, so I looked at his recent followers on Instagram, and noticed that a Bachelorette producer had recently followed him,” she said. “I didn’t think much of it at the time, but I knew there was something he wasn’t telling me.” Since their breakup, Peter has deleted any trace of their history off of his Instagram account. But the two still kept in touch. “We still kept in touch after the breakup, and we were trying to see each other again, up until early March, shortly before he left for filming,” Lutes says. “When I found out about the show, I texted him and told him that he owed me an explanation, but I never heard a word back.” “He absolutely betrayed me,” Lute says. “He interviewed for a reality dating show while simultaneously planning a future with me.” Following Wyatt’s allegations, who was also accused of cheating on his ex Haley Stevens, he finally spoke out saying the cheating claims were affecting his “mental health.” And while fan favorite Pilot Pete has yet to address the claims, we can’t help but feel for Hannah right now. Who knows how this show is going to end, (cue Bachelorette spoilers) , but one thing we’re pretty sure of is that they will be getting a new casting team for next season… jeesh!

Source: Gary Miller / Getty Bhad Bhabie aka The Cash Me Ousside girl hit a lick, became a rapper and now has the never to think she’s actually talented. The successful struggle rapper thinks “people” don’t like her music because she’s white, basically. The alleged MC born Danielle Bregoli took to Instagram to air her privileged grievances. “Ya’ll will promote half these female rappers that dead ass suck ya’ll only f*ck with most of them cuz they pretty or you like they ‘style,’” she wrote on her IG story. “I promise you these bitches anit [sic] on that but when it comes to me a bitch that can really rap ya’ll don’t wanna f*ck with me cuz how I came up and bc I’m white.” Oh that’s why? Not because she’s a privileged white girl who came to fame for acting a fool on Dr. Phil . Or that there are plenty of talented alternatives to listen to whose entire musical existence wasn’t pieced together by a record label. Nah, it’s solely because she’s white. #SARCACM, in case you’re slow. Also, she’s 16, so there’s that. Regardless, Bhad Bhabie just reportedly inked a $1 million publishing deal . So why is she mad?
