UH-OH: Fans React To Chance The Rapper Postponing His Upcoming Tour 5 Days From Kickoff

Posted on September 9, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Courtesy Netflix / Courtesy Netflix Fans React to Chance The Rapper Postponing Upcoming Tour Five Days From Kickoff Chance The Rapper has had a busy summer. The rapper finally dropped his highly anticipated debut album, announced a new tour, filmed a new judge-style television show for Netflix called Rhythm & Flow , and most recently, he welcomed a new baby girl into the world. Of course, these are all great things to have on your calendar, but one of those seems to have come at the wrong time for Chance: his upcoming North American tour. The Chicago native took to his Instagram page to make the announcement that his tour, which was scheduled to start in only a few days, was going to be postponed . This news comes directly following the announcement that his wife gave birth to their second child together. “I thought it over for the past week and I’ve decided to push back my tour. This year has been one of the greatest of my life; Marriage, new baby, first album etc. But with it being so eventful it has also been very strenuous having to divide my time and energy between family and work. When Kensli was born, I went on tour 2 weeks later and missed some of the most important milestones in her life, but more importantly I was absent when her mother needed me the most” he explained  in his caption. Chance went on to explain that the new tour will kicks off at the top of next year, on January 15. He also reminds those fans lucky enough to have tickets for his 9/28 show in Chicago, Life Is Beautiful Festival, iHeart Music Fest, and Miami Beach Pop Up Fest that he’ll still be in attendance. View this post on Instagram I thought it over for the past week and I’ve decided to push back my tour. This year has been one of the greatest of my life; Marriage, new baby, first album etc. But with it being so eventful it has also been very strenuous having to divide my time and energy between family and work. When Kensli was born, I went on tour 2 weeks later and missed some of the most important milestones in her life, but more importantly I was absent when her mother needed me the most. At this point as a husband and father of two I realize that I can’t make that mistake again. I need to be as helpful and available as possible to my wife in these early months of raising Kensli and Marli. I apologize because I know how many people were counting on seeing me soon, but I hope you’ll understand and forgive me in time. Tour kicks off Jan. 15th and you can still get tix or your refund if you are unavailable at chanceraps.com & a few of the shows are still being rescheduled as well so stay tuned. I love you guys AND LITERALLY CANT WAIT FOR U TO WITNESS THIS SHOW SIDENOTE: 9/28 CHICAGO AT UNITED CENTER IS STILL ON AS WELL AS “LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL FEST” “IHEART MUSIC FEST” & “MIAMI BEACH POP FEST”! A post shared by Chance The Rapper Owbum (@chancetherapper) on Sep 9, 2019 at 12:20pm PDT     As the old saying goes, “Happy Wife, Happy Life” and leaving to go on tour not even a month after having a new child isn’t exactly the formula for making any wife happy. Glad to see Chance made the right decision to stand by his family, even though fans aren’t exactly happy about it. On one hand, it’s dope that he postponed the tour to focus on his wife and children–on the other, you really didn’t know you were having a kid around the same time when you announced this tour? Here’s what some fans had to say about the news: Chance pushed back his tour why? Oh right, he loves his wife — Budders (@bfromdag) September 9, 2019 Are you kidding me. bought tickets for Lamar’s birthday to see Chance the Rapper and he’s cancelled his tour. Like after I’ve paid hundreds of dollars for tickets, hotel room for two nights, we’ve requested off work and everything. Got it arranged for his mom to keep our kids.. — Allieee (@amharkerrr) September 9, 2019 I was suppose to be on my way to sf this next weekend to see chance the rapper but he wanna reschedule the tour until JANUARY! WTF — mrsdz (@mjackilynn) September 9, 2019 okay so like one half of me totally understands Chance pushing back his tour for his new baby, but the other half of me is saying F THEM KIDS MAN — Liv (@BreezeBailey_17) September 9, 2019

Christian Siriano Made A ‘Bo Derek’ Mistake When Discussing Hair Inspo For His NYFW Show

Posted on September 9, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Victor VIRGILE / Getty Let me start by saying Christian Siriano is an ally for the culture. He’s always leaned into dressing Black Hollywood, whether it was coming to the rescue of Leslie Jones who couldn’t find a designer to dress her on the red carpet, or stylishly shaping the curves (and even placing her on the runway) of Danielle Brooks . At the Orange Is The New Black season finale, many of the women were wearing designs by Siriano. While we praise diversity in fashion , we still have a long way to go. It shouldn’t be a headline that a designer is dressing a curvy or tall Black woman. However, his efforts, have helped to push diversity in the industry and call out designers who are still designing for the same, monolithic customer. Nevertheless, even allies can make mistakes. Source: Victor VIRGILE / Getty Siriano partnered with TRESemmé for hair looks for his NYFW Spring/Summer 2020 show and while they only brought the product, he brought the inspiration. According to WWD , Sirano showed hairstylists a photo of Gigi Hadid in a braided style and dubbed the look the “Gigi Braid.” And while yes, Hadid may have worn this exact hairstyle, when I think of braids, I do not think of white women. There is nothing wrong with Gigi Hadid wearing a braided hairstyle; however, there is a huge problem in the industry (and media) with Blackness only being desired or adored when placed on white bodies. Braids have a long history going back to Africa. Specific braided styles represented class and even occasions while some braided styles were actually maps to freedom during the slave trade . Source: Victor VIRGILE / Getty By simply dubbing one braided ponytail, which Black women have been wearing since they were kids as the “Gigi Braid” is erasure of a community of people. An erasure of history. Erasure is a form of racism that has been embedded in American culture when it comes to Black people. To not even acknowledge the history of something is to say it doesn’t exist. He could have still called it the ‘Gigi Braid’; however, it should have had some historical context. With a platform as large as his, simply adding that braids are historically from Black culture and natural hairstyles have seen a resurgence on the runway and red carpet, would have educated a mass of people who probably aren’t looking for this information on their own. We’ve already been through this with Bo Derek and her braids. “Bo Derek Braids” are not a thing. Bo Derek is a woman who wore braids, but she did not start or create the braided style. The ‘Bo Derek Braids’ nomenclature occurred after the 1979 movie ‘ 10 ‘. If it seems like one is nit picking, fast forward to almost 40 years later to Kim Kardashian (who whether we like it or not, influences culture), called her braids ‘Bo Derek Braids.’ Mis-education is also a form of erasure. With the CFDA placing diversity as a major importance, it’s imperative to know that it goes beyond throwing more Black models on the runway . Fashion is fantasy so inspiration will be taken from a multitude of places; it’s important to correctly site where said inspiration is derived.

Source: Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty There is no argument that Jordyn Woods has turned lemons into lemonade. After getting past the infamous Tristan Thompson scandal , we can’t help but notice that the star has been living her best life! Serving up beauty and fashion goals on the daily while securing business deals, Jordyn is definitely serving up what the girls love! This definitely includes the viral #DMXChallenge! While many of our favorite celebs participated in the challenge that pays homage to the rapper’s hit song “What They Really Want” that talks about different women, Jordyn’s interpretation was one of our favorites. In the challenge, the beauty showed off some of her best hair looks and we are absolutely here for it! I mean, let’s be honest, when does her hair not look amazing? View this post on Instagram #PressPlay: #JordynWoods' #DMXChallenge said better late than never A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) on Sep 7, 2019 at 8:15pm PDT Jordyn has never been shy to take risks in the hair department and her post was a collection of fabulous looks we couldn’t help but swoon over. From asymmetrical bobs, blonde looks, wig units, protective styles and everything in between, baby girl is nothing to play with when it comes to the hair game. With many of these looks styled by Koni Bennett and Mariama Dashiell , it’s easy to see why her hair game is on point! These stylists have some talented hands and have worked with plenty of our fave celebs. Not every celeb can make a hair look their own, but Jordyn is always able to put her own spin on every style. While it seems that Jordyn has done it all in the hair department, the beauty always seems to serve up something fresh. We’ve seen her kill the bob game and rock a slew of wig styles, so we can’t help but wonder what does she have up her sleeve next? Maybe a super short bob, waist-length tresses or a neon-hued slay? She could even flip the script and gives us a pixie look. The possibilities are truly endless! Were you feeling Jordyn Woods’ #DMXChallenge?

Rest In Peace: ‘Fresh Prince’ And ‘Martin’ Actor Passes Away At Age 72

Posted on September 9, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Amy Graves / Getty Actor John Wesley Passes Away At Age 72 John Wesley, Vietnam War vet and actor on 90s sitcoms such as Fresh Prince and Martin , has passed away at age 70 according to the NYDailyNews . Wesley, a Louisiana native, reportedly died in Los Angeles after an extended bout with multiple myeloma as confirmed by his manager Gerry Pass. Wesley studied classical acting and earned a master degree in fine arts from the University of California in San Diego, he told Ron Brewington on “The Actor’s Choice.” He served in the army during the Vietnam War and garned his first credited role playing a cop in a 1963 episode of “My Three Sons.” The classically trained actor (master degree in fine arts from the University of California San Diego) played a character named “Dr. Hoover” in a hilariously CLASSIC episode of Fresh Prince that you can watch below. Wesley told Ron Brewington, host of “The Actor’s Choice”, that comedy had always been a tool he used to break down the barriers that he felt white powerbrokers put up against Black actors. “That’s been my tactic over the years,” he said. “This is a really tricky place where we’re at now. Because the guys who are the guys who guard the door are still mostly white males with power. And you’ve got to get on their good side to get these jobs.” It wasn’t just white folks who found Wesley entertaining, we did too and we are appreciative of the talent that he shared with us. Rest in peace, John Wesley.

Jussie & Jurnee Smolett Reportedly Shopping A Movie About A “Brother & Sister” Falsely Accused

Posted on September 9, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: FayesVision/WENN.com / WENN According to a source close to  LoveBScott , actor Jussie Smollett and his sister Jurnee Smollett-Bell are shopping around a movie about a falsely accused brother and sister pair. And insider told the site that Jussie has been vetting directors to help him bring the film to life. The reported film plot echoes real life incidents that entangled Jussie in a criminal scandal for months. On January 29th of this year, Jussie claimed that he was attacked in Chicago late at night by two men hurling racial slurs at him. He said the alleged assailants yelled MAGA country, poured a bleach like substance on him, and left a rope around his neck. SEE ALSO:  Chicago Police Release Footage Of Jussie Smollett With A Rope Around His Neck On Night Of Alleged Attack The world erupted in outrage and sympathy for the star, until he was indicted for disorderly conduct for reportedly staging the hate crime with the assistance of two other men. On March 26th, all charges were dropped in connection to the alleged hate crime hoax in exchange for community service. But trouble for the former “Empire” front man didn’t end there–on March 27th the FBI announced they would investigate why the charges were scrubbed. Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing! Please be sure to open and click your first newsletter so we can confirm your subscription. Email Submit Back in March, reps for Jussie said of the case, “Jussie and many others were hurt by these unfair and unwarranted actions. This entire situation is a reminder that there should never be an attempt to prove a case in the court of public opinion. That is wrong.” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.  ( Terms and conditions ). It might be a risky move to bring a movie inspired by the incidents to the small screen, considering Jussie is currently facing a $130,000 lawsuit from the City of Chicago in backpay for funds used to investigate the alleged “hate hoax.” Might be best to keep a low profile until every element of this case is forgotten in the public eye and throughly washed through the criminal system.
