Source: amphotora / Getty Fugitive To Surrender If He Gets 15,000 Likes On Facebook We certainly live in a time when people will do anything for clout. One Connecticut man even agreed to surrender to police only if he got a certain amount of likes on his wanted poster that was posted on Facebook. 29-year-old Jose Simms has seven arrest warrants and is being sought as a fugitive because he failed to show up for a court appearance. According to Torrington police, Simms is believed to be at large somewhere in the New York area. Lt. “Brett Johnson reported on social media that Simms had contacted him through Facebook and agreed to turn himself in if the social post containing his poster gets 15,000 ‘likes.’ Johnson says he tried to get Simms to agree to 10,000 “likes” but Simms wanted 20,000 — so they split the difference.” So far, the Facebook post has about 3000 likes. Looks like police will be waiting on Jose for a good while — unless they catch him slipping.

Reportedly, the incident went down at a store parking lot near the family home in New Jersey. Sources are saying they got into an argument over Kevin’s demand for spousal support in his divorce with Wendy Williams. Kevin Jr. defended his mom in the argument while his dad claimed Wendy was “brainwashing” their son against him. Their sources say it got physical when Kevin Sr. allegedly put his son in a headlock, and Kevin Jr. punched him in the nose…only to break the hold! According to TMZ’s sources, earlier in the evening, Wendy was the one that dropped Kevin Jr. off to her NJ marital home but did not stay. She promised to pick her son up later. In a surprise to him, his dad was in the home. Everything was cool until they took a trip to the store together around midnight. That’s when Kevin Sr. allegedly lectured Jr. on “carving his own path” without his mom’s “handouts” and things erupted. In a statement to TMZ, Kevin Sr. said he did not wish to press charged on his son over the incident. “I love my son very much and I will not be pursuing this matter legally. Things are not always how they appear.” Are you surprised about this at all?!

Lil Kim and Junior M.A.F.I.A. officially reunited on Tuesday for what would have been the Notorious B.I.G’s 47th birthday — and besides a few bumps in the road over the years, the Brooklyn group seemed to be as tight as they were when they first came together 25 years ago.

(@goldenchildent) on May 22, 2019 at 6:30am PDT In an unexpected twist, Lil Kim and Lil Cease even ended their feud, which hit its peak when Cease testified against Kim in her 2005 perjury trial. At Big’s party, Cease said to Kim: “All those years you stood tall, you stood down for us. I wanted to see you face to face. I wanted to say it front of a bunch of people that mean something, that’s important. And I apologize for the things I may have done that may have hurted you or offended you or made you feel bad. I genuinely apologize. I love you from the bottom of my heart. You’re my sister for life.” Seems like the Queen Bee is stepping into a new era in her personal and professional career. On top of forgiving her former foes, Kim is set to release a brand new album this Friday entitled “9”.

Source: Getty Images / Getty Let’s keep it real. Social media is one of the best technological advancements of our day. We get to talk to people faster, connect with people from all across the globe, and be as nosey as we want without the fear of being creepy. And don’t get me started on the abundant access we have to breaking news. The days of waiting for the 6 o’clock news to find out what happened to your favorite celebrity are long gone (thank goodness). But with many benefits comes many disadvantages. First of all, it’s hard to get anything done when you can avoid tedious tasks by just scrolling through the ‘gram all day. Not to mention the fact that it plays a major part in the development of our self esteem. Especially as millenials. There’s a quote by Steven Furtick that says: “The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind the scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel.” That one quote pretty much sums up all the drawbacks of social networking. Which also raises the question, how would life be if social media never existed? Folks took to Twitter to share how they think the game of life would be different if there were no Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc. The #IfSocialMediaDidntExist hashtag is trippy to me because I remember a time when it actually didn't exist. It's kind of crazy how there are people alive right now who don't know what it was like. Anyways I'm fucking old and death has been loitering by my doorstep for years — julz (@himynameisjulz) May 22, 2019 Some #IfSocialMediaDidntExist posts were shady as hell: @DubOnDaBeatz: “A lot of you “public figures” would be irrelevant #IfSocialMediaDidntExist” Others were straight up facts: @AspieNerdMike: “#IfSocialMediaDidntExist = less overall harm/bullying/harassment/etc., younger generations would be less glued to their screens, and less physical isolation” What are your thoughts on a social media free life? Hit the flip to check out some of the shadiest, truest gospels of would life would be like without social media.
Source: Splash News / Splash News The topic of the Kardashian-Jenner krew and kultural appropriation is a tale as old time. But in a weird way, the privileged family still finds a way to do something that makes the appropriation conversation new and relevant again. Just last week, Khloe Kardashian got called out on social media for her struggly, vacation cornrows. SMH. View this post on Instagram Paradise Found A post shared by Khloé (@khloekardashian) on May 17, 2019 at 5:22am PDT One commenter wrote: “Those braids aren’t you. You’re not black hun!!” Another said: “So none of her black friends gonna tell her this hair ain’t it?” As for Kim , the one who gets the most backlash for her ethnic-inspired looks (besides sister Kylie), she was caused a stir earlier this month for not-so-subtly copying many of supermodel Naomi Campbell’s 90’s looks. So much so that people thought that the fashion icon was feuding with the feeble family. But if there’s one thing we all know, it’s that you should never, under any circumstance, come for the the Queen of fashion and shade. Naomi may be an icon, but she knows just how to fight petty with even more petty. Each time Kim or Kylie rocked an outfit that was similar to one of her infamous, Ms. Campbell hopped on the ‘gram to prove that she in fact did it first.

Back in the day, they probably would’ve gotten away with it, unscathed. But not with Black Twitter being the force that it is. After being called out on her ish, Kim K. (did what she does best) gave credit to Naomi for inspiring her recent looks by tagging the model in her photo.

Source: Image via OWN / OWN “Queen Sugar” Season 4 Trailer There’s (more) Ava Duvernay directed drama brewing in the bayou. The Bordelons are back in the trailer for season 4 of Ava Duvernay’s “Queen Sugar.” In it, we see the family continuing their fight to save their farm and preserve their father’s legacy. Charley isn’t stopping her battle against the Landry family all while trying to ensure Micah’s safety and future. As for her sister Nova, she’s successfully published her memoir and while she goes on a book tour around the country sharing her family secrets and shaking things up at home, she unexpectedly encounters significant relationships from her past along the way. Inexplicably chocolatey panty melter Ralph Angel is managing fatherhood and yes, Darla’s around even though Ralph Angel is well aware that he’s not the biological father of his son, Blue. We’ll see a more level headed Ralph Angel this season, one who’s encouraged by an old friend to create opportunities for formerly incarcerated men like himself. Once again (our girl) Ava is continuing the series’ use of an all-female directing team. Season 4 directors will include Cheryl Dunye, who will also serve as producing director, Carmen Marrón, Numa Perrier, Heidi Saman, Bola Ogun, and Tchaiko Omawale. Watch the “Queen Sugar” season 4 trailer below.

An elementary school teacher in Hillsborough, N.C., Kristen Thompson, has resigned after her colleagues reported her for threatening to shoot up Pathways Elementary School according to Fox8 . Thompson has bee charged with communicating a threat of mass violence by the Orange County Sheriff’s office: “This situation is being handled by law enforcement with the safety of our students and school staff as our utmost concern. Meanwhile, this situation is also being dealt with by school leadership as a personnel issue as well as a safety one. As such, the principal and other administrators are strictly forbidden by law from sharing information about the case. A threat of school violence is understandably unsettling for the community. Please know that the school and law enforcement are working together as a team to ensure the last few weeks of the school year are safe and productive for our students.” Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! It’s bad enough we have to worry about psychopaths murdering school kids, now we gotta worry about the damn teachers too?!?! SMH.
