According to Remy’s lawyer, Dawn Florio, the rapper has an alibi for why she couldn’t have been the one to attack Brittney at the show. “That is a complete impossibility because at 9:30 p.m … she was at home nursing her 4-month-old. My client denies these allegations; these are false allegations.” But on Thursday, both Britney’s mother and attorney had a message for Ms. Ma (real name Reminisce Smith) when they spoke to the press about the incident. Taylor’s lawyer proclaimed: “Remy Ma has been charged criminally with assault and harassment. This is serious. This is real life, not reality television.” Brittney’s mom, Karen Taylor added: “I am just here to support my daughter. I believe that it is a very unfortunate situation on both parties. However, my daughter was assaulted.” Since turning herself in on Wednesday, Remy has been released on $1,500 bail. Her lawyer, Dawn, says Rem is currently on parole until July 31 and added that Remy has had a perfect record until this. Thoughts?
Source: Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Every few years, the climate of the fashion industry changes drastically. At one point, it was cool to rock baggy clothes and mismatched prints, until it became chic to wear skinny jeans and button ups. One thing that rarely shifts in fashion is the desire to incorporate a little street style, no matter what look you’re going for. Big brands sometimes use to stray away from adding “street fashion” into their collections, but they always come back to the culture for a little inspo. In an effort to reassert itself into the genre of streetwear, True Religion hired UpscaleHype cofounder Allen Onyia as their new artistic director. Onyia is a recognized tastemaker in streetwear fashion circles and was named “Menswear’s Most Important Instagram Account” by GQ in 2018. In a press release about Allen’s new, excited gig, True Religion said in a statement: “In his new role, Onyia will innovate modern and elevated streetwear for True Religion, which has iconic roots in the aesthetic. He plans to apply the same ethos to design as he does to his platforms – “look good, feel good and be a part of something”. View this post on Instagram What’s the word? Tell me what you heard. #UpscaleLife A post shared by Allen Onyia (@allenonyia) on Mar 31, 2019 at 9:03am PDT Onyia said of upcoming position: “I have always admired True Religion as an iconic brand with deep roots in the streetwear category. I am thrilled to join the team and bring my vision to reestablish a brand people can associate with, in this new age of streetwear.” True Religion CEO Chelsea Grayson added: “We have been driving towards this watershed moment since I joined the Company. I am excited to work with Allen to return True Religion to its rightful place among streetwear leaders. The whole point of this [hire] is it really signals a sea change for the company and its progression into the future. This is a real line in the sand and I was intent on that when I joined the company.” View this post on Instagram Helluva contrast. #UpscaleLife A post shared by Allen Onyia (@allenonyia) on Mar 12, 2019 at 6:26pm PDT “Allen lives, eats and breathes streetwear and the streetwear aesthetic on all ends of the spectrum. So he knows how to dress it up, dress it down, make it more elevated or less elevated, and I really respect that fluidity in his style.” Adding Allen to the crew is just one of many changes the brand has planned. Grayson says there will be less denim and more crewneck T-shirts, crewneck long-sleeve shirts, sweatshirts, outerwear and elevated fabrications. But Allen isn’t new to this fashion ish. Back in 2008, he co founded the site UpscaleHype with his brother Kyle Onyia, which focused on coverage of high-end men’s wear and celebrity fashion. He also worked with True Religion once before as as a brand ambassador when the brand teamed up with Travis Scott back in 2014. Grayson says Onyia’s mark touch on the brand will be felt as soon as their Spring collection drops — but you’ll see more of his works during the holiday assortments. Congrats, young King.

Seriously, there’s gonna be a major spoiler in the first sentence of this article–don’t say I didn’t warn you. Let’s cut right to the chase: we all cried when Iron Man died at the end of Avengers: End Game . And if you didn’t, you definitely heard a few sniffles in your theater from the people who did. The death of the man who kicked off the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe is devastating enough on its own, but it’s been made even more emotional for fans as they remember today, May 2, is the 11 year anniversary of Iron Man’s release. Eleven years ago today, he became Iron Man. #TodayInMarvelHistory #Marvel80 pic.twitter.com/ddhtVe6Xoh — Marvel Entertainment (@Marvel) May 2, 2019 If you’re one of the diehard Marvel fans whose been paying attention to the actors from the film on social media, you already know it’s impossible to stumble upon a post without seeing at least a few “I love you 3,000” comments. What was an absolutely adorable line at the beginning of the film was made tragic when Tony Stark’s hologram uttered that same line to his daughter following his death. Now, as we remember where it all started over a decade ago, everything is 3000 times more sad. With all of the sorrow surrounding the ending of the 3rd phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, one thing we can all take solace in is the fact that we aren’t suffering alone. With all the box office records End Game is breaking, it really seems like those who aren’t mourning the death of our beloved Iron Man are the ones who are alone. With that being said, it’s only right we celebrate the 11 year anniversary of Iron Man by looking at some of the most devastating tweets about Tony Stark and his meaningful MCU ending. Here’s what people are saying as they celebrate the anniversary of the film that started it all while simultaneously mourning the death of the Avengers’ patriarch: My mom just told me after my little brother saw End Game he went home and put his Iron Man suit on because he was sad pic.twitter.com/6DEAK4e6Xk — (^з^)-☆ (@mellowthai) May 2, 2019 “seems like a thousand years ago… I fought my way out of that cave, became iron man” pic.twitter.com/VLN20BerCg — mariam ⎊ || spoilers (@verstarks) May 2, 2019 Iron Man is 11 years old today.

Source: Ethan Miller / Getty On Wednesday, celebrities and music stars gathered for the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas. Highlights from the event included Cardi B winning Top Rap Song, Drake winning a whopping 12 awards setting a career record with 27 Billboard wins, and of course, Mariah Carey rightly took home the Billboard Icon Award. But one might have forgotten all this, considering Taylor Swift ‘s show-stealing performance of her new song “Me!” If you missed it, let me refresh. Homegirl opened with a drum major’s whistle, which eventually led a drum line to the stage just in time to intro Taylor posing with hand on hip in a pink-ish leotard-looking getup. Sound familiar? Twitter can help you out… “Homecoming” vs “Go Home” #Mayochella pic.twitter.com/KTngxV3Nqz — targeted harassment bot (@RickyRawls) May 2, 2019 *Sigh* Once again, Tay Tay took her usual place in between just plain clueless, why why why, and this White girl HAS to know what she’s doing. The Internet instantly compared her performance to Beyoncé’s iconic Coachella 2018 show, which has lovingly been dubbed Beychella. Her show was viewed as a White-washed, offbeat version of the Queen Bey’s greatness, and thus… #Mayochella was born. Now, I think Taylor Swift really believes she is the “equivalent” to Beyoncé. This #Mayochella drum line off beat and all. — ACW (@TheCarterReport) May 2, 2019 Peep Taylor’s full-length performance for yourself below, then head over to Netflix for Beyoncé’s full-length movie performance in the doc Homecoming. Aside from the hilarious draggings of Taylor’s performance online, some people tried to actually defend her, arguing that Beyoncé wasn’t the first to feature a marching band in her performance. Certain publications listed Prince, Gwen Stefani and Madonna as just a few examples of bands getting into formation. However, for Taylor to carry out her marching band performance so soon after the cultural event which was Homecoming… I mean come on. Tay even posed like Beyoncé in her intro. The side-by-side comparisons of the looks don’t help her case either. If anything, they gifted the Internet with a new meme to reflect our everyday feels. One @ darleneturner53 captioned a side-by-side “What I ordered vs what I got.” What I ordered vs what I got #Mayochella pic.twitter.com/9bTQTH9pdE — DKT (@darleneturner53) May 2, 2019 Another @ sofreenyla labeled it “Grandma’s Thanksgiving dinner / pot luck at work.” Grandma's Thanksgiving dinner pot luck at work #Mayochella pic.twitter.com/sjwgm63x04 — Tormund Stan Account (@sofreenyla) May 2, 2019 People showed no mercy. Even Netflix slyly took part in the dragging with their Strong Black Lead brand, tweeting out a clip to the opening of Beyoncé’s Coachella performance. They captioned it, “This intro needs to be written about in our future history books. I need everyone to see and know it. # BeyoncéHomecoming” This intro needs to be written about in our future history books. I need everyone to see and know it. #BeyoncéHomecoming pic.twitter.com/QQxEKBB24t — Strong Black Lead (@strongblacklead) May 2, 2019 And you’re telling me Tay Tay didn’t watch one second of Beyoncé’s performance before planning her set. Smh. Hit the flip for more hilarious side-by-side comparisons of Mayochella madness and Bey greatness. Hopefully, Tay will take this as a learning moment. But knowing her, don’t get your hopes up.

It appears that he only had but so much fortitude on deck to wiggle and squirm out of the direct questions asked of him in regards to the Mueller investigation and Donald Trump.
