Source: ATL Pics / Radio One Digital Yung Miami Teases Part 2 Of The City Girls Documentary Part 2 of the City Girls’ documentary, Point Blank Period , is coming soon. Yung Miami posted a preview of the footage to her Instagram page on Friday night, letting everyone know that a follow-up to the doc–which came out almost exactly a year ago–is about to drop. In her caption, she teases the fact that information about her pregnancy will be revealed and also confirms JT’s involvement in the short film, despite her being in jail. View this post on Instagram I knew that soon as I announced my pregnancy ppl was gone tell me what I should & shouldn’t be doing but I’ve been doing it all along! Part 2 of the Documentary have all the answers to your questions! The grind, the struggle, dedication, the fighting, & most importantly the love and support of my family, JT, and my label. Yes JT is included in part 2 and this is the real this is our life. Point blank period! A post shared by Caresha .. (@yungmiami305) on Aug 2, 2019 at 11:35am PDT Despite just plain excitement for the next installment of the documentary, fans throughout Miami’s comments were freaking out over the fact that the preview footage reveals her pregnancy being much further along than we all thought–the rapper is already 7 months pregnant! While Yung Miami didn’t give us an exact release date for Part 2, last year’s first installment dropped on August 30th–so they could release this follow-up on the same date. It’s also a good possibility that the release of the film will line up with JT’s release from jail–the exact date of which is still up in the air. If you haven’t seen part one of Point Blank Period already, catch up down below so you’re ready for part 2 once it drops:

Source: Complex Bossip Be Trippin’: ComplexCon Chicago 2019 Beautiful people, it’s your fave airport-hopping adventurer Alejandro back with an essential recap of delicious clout buffet–the internet in real life–ComplexCon Chicago where I met wavy somebodies, vibed with transcendent tastemakers (shouts to my dad Bun B), witnessed swaggy strangers blow rent money on exclusive releases and maybe (probably) met my future wife in a shared Lyft. (#LyftBae, if you’re reading this I’m taking you out for extravagant, life-changing, credit score-raising tacos–shark, swordfish, swanky salmon from wealthy waters (with a decadent drizzle of Cilantro, of course). You’ll never have a taste for peasantly poor fish tacos again) But, seriously, I genuinely enjoyed my first time in Chicago–the weather, the midwest energy, the delicious eats, the gorgeous women, everything–all of it–was amazing, especially my first authentic deep dish pizza from the world-famous Lou Malnati’s. Bruh, MOUF SECKS.

Pro tip: Order in advance–wayyy in advance–to avoid waiting in a line that’s always longer than forever. Now, on to ComplexCon that popped with larger-than-life activations, random celebrity pop-ups, cool people doing (and selling and giving away) cool things, a whole entire section of critically-acclaimed eateries (HAROLD’s!) and friendly clout fiends from all over the world. Source: Alex Ford/iOne And yes, they were selling $5,000 24K gold-dipped burgers with an icy grill on the side (because fries are for poors, apparently). For two days, I wandered around unsupervised and partook in super fun shenanigans. Brisk had a very dope “Hobbs & Shaw”-themed experience where you could film fight scenes with friends and meet WWE superstar Roman Reigns. Jack Honey shined with its wonderfully rustic experience that showcased custom designed shoes by the world-renown Shoe Surgeon. PUMA dazzled the crowd with its planet-sized basketball world and connected me with rising star Dreezy for a great interview. Comedy Central caught eyes with a clever Rent-A-Center-themed activation with the hilarious cast of hit show “South Side .” Check out my spectacular Day 1 recap below: View this post on Instagram @Complexcon Chicago, Day 1.

Caught up with the hilarious cast of @southsidechi in their Rent-T-Own store , @dreamville star @dreezy at @puma world & @theshoesurgeon at @jackhoney_us’s wonderfully rustic kickback. There were $5,000 burgers & geeky baddies dressed like Fefe Dobson with a splash of Sailor Moon. Also tried my first authentic Chicago deep dish pizza at @loumalnatis. NASTY MOUF SEX HAPPENED. AMAZING . Overall, DOPE opening day. Excited about Day #2 #Complexcon A post shared by Alejandro NIGlesias (@alejandro_niglesias) on Jul 21, 2019 at 8:40am PDT On Day 2, I started strong with a magnificent 5-course meal curated by Uber Eats & Fat Rice. At one point, Bun B came over to shake my hand (I think he thought I was Brian Tyree Henry ) while Zaytoven ran through his countless hits. View this post on Instagram Enjoyed a spectacular 5-course meal curated by @ubereats & @eatfatrice with some dope somebodies (hi @nnennab) & the legendary @bunb at @complexcon. Shouts to @zaytovenbeatz for playing “Make The Trap Say Aye” at a swanky dinner. LEGEND. That king crab with a delectable dollop of caviar changed my life. At that moment, peasant seafood like tilapia was unworthy of my prestigious palate. And yes, (of course) I tried the $500 donut that called me broke & dusty. Special thanks to @misslaurenpaige & @complex for the experience #LetsEats (Swipe) A post shared by Alejandro NIGlesias (@alejandro_niglesias) on Jul 24, 2019 at 8:50pm PDT The first course was watermelon with caviar, prawns, oyster, salmon, tequila and king crab paired with a scintillating Magnum 2012 Champagne Piollot. Yes, it was as delicious as it looks. Source: Alex Ford/iOne Next stop was the hilariously filthy Four Loko activation that punched me in the face from across the convention center. It was sick, twisted and perfectly done. There were masked baddies, *whispers* private rooms (yes, those with the… mmhmm), dirty mags and incredible art design. I loved it.

There were small issues with the app and long lines but it was a successful launch in a new city.

Also gotta shout out Complex and Lauren and the Hustle & Co. team for taking care of me.

Source: Amy Sussman / Getty “The Chi” To Kill Off Jason Mitchell’s Character For Season 3 We knew it was coming. But according to Variety, Season 3 of The Chi won’t include series lead Jason Mitchell, who was previously fired earlier this year due to accusations of inappropriate behavior. Because of Mitchell’s was booted from the show, his character “Brandon” didn’t receive a proper ending in the show storyline. Showtime’s President of Entertainment Gary Levine told the outlet that Brandon will be killed off: “There is a lot of great life in The Chi , and there’s also death in The Chi , and that’s how we’ll be dealing with it.” Mitchell was already being monitored closely after an alleged inappropriate incident with co-star Tiffany Boone . Showtime’s other President of Entertainment, Jana Winograde, addressed the matter saying: “We were made aware at the time that the allegations were made,” “Fox 21 conducted a thorough investigation. After that investigation, we all made the decision together that it was appropriate at that time to give him some training and guidance on appropriate behavior on set.” Creator and executive producer Lena Waithe is set to have a role in Season 3 of The Chi. “I think it will be our best ever,” Levine said. “The stories remain incredibly vibrant.”

Source: Keipher McKennie / Getty Wack 100 Argues With YG About His Gang Affiliation Things are going left over on the West Coast. An Instagram post on Friday night over on Wack 100’s page ended up starting some serious rap beef. The famous hip-hop manager shared a screenshot of some text where he called out rappers who claim to be about that street life, but are really faking it for the industry. “One thing I respect is this – Blueface came into this rap game Crip’n,” Wack wrote in his post. “The Game came into it Piru’n – Mozzy came into it Blood’n – some of you n***as was wearing skinny jeans and dancing without a gang slogan coming out ya mouth until you got enough money to buy you a set.” View this post on Instagram Wish a nigga would say a word I’ll embarrassed the fuck outta nigga playing with me !!!! Enough is enough if it’s on let it be on …. A post shared by The GodFather (@wack100) on Aug 2, 2019 at 7:06pm PDT Wack assisted all of the text in his photo with a caption that reads, “Wish a n***a would say a word I’ll embarrassed the f**k outta n***a playing with me !!!! Enough is enough if it’s on let it be on ….” While he didn’t name any names in his IG post, YG clearly felt slighted and decided to slide into his comments to let the manager know he got the message loud and clear. “You shoulda @‘d me big gangsta og piru god father,” the rapper wrote in Wack’s comment section. He added more comments later, including a stream of laughing emojis, calling out Wack’s “Instagram fingers,” and another writing, “don’t beg me to do no more verses either.” The manager then entered the comment section, responding to YG and writing, “I @ you on your own post little n***a ! You’d a little n***a gone always be a little n***a mr Toot it and Boot it wasn’t a gang sign in the video all SKINNY JEANS ! The words described you that’s why ya responded you knew it was you !!!! SHOE FIT WEAT IT N***A.” He also left another comment saying, “@yg @DefjamYG was how you came into this s**t ! I think you bigger than the funk ! School Yards saved your ass at that studio wasn’t no Damu’s #BigWy coached you on your first ‘BLOOD’ verse to come out your mouth ! If it was a problem N***a i told @Tyga to take us off and by the way I got the screen shots your team ain’t loyal. You better bick back.” View this post on Instagram #YG wasn’t here for the subs #Wack100 was throwing A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) on Aug 2, 2019 at 8:23pm PDT From Wack’s clarification in the comments about the “Toot It And Boot It” music video, it’s pretty clear that his initial post was indeed a sub at YG–which implies that there were some other issues between them boiling before this. The rapper just released a collaboration with Blueface and Tyga called “Bop,” a few days ago–and since Wack 100 is Blueface’s manager, his encounters with YG while making the track are probably what led to this apparent feud.
Source: Chesnot / Getty Netflix Has Created “Co-Watching” Contracts For Couples If you’ve ever felt betrayed by your significant other after learning they watched an episode of y’all’s favorite show without you, Netflix might just have the solution for you. The streaming platform has decided to lay out some rules for binge-watching so that couples can reach an agreement before settling on something to watch. The new “co-watching” contract is a document that both partners in a relationship must sign, with Netflix listed as a witness for the whole thing. The doc is to be used as an agreement to follow five rules before binge-watching a show together. Those rules of engagement are as follows: I won’t fall asleep I won’t get distracted by my phone causing the other person to rewind because I missed something; I won’t continue watching a show without the other person present; I won’t talk whilst the show is on; In the event that I come across a spoiler, I won’t share it with the other person. This whole thing could definitely be a good idea for a lot us out there who have been left behind by spouses who watched an extra episode after their partner fell asleep early–but some of the rules don’t seem so practical. In the event of some serious binge-watching, it seems unlikely that nobody is going to pick up their phones–and it seems even more unlikely that someone will keep a spoiler to themselves. But it’s a nice sentiment, nonetheless. Could you see your partner signing this co-watching contract?
