Chief Keef is the proud father of nine children (yes, the same number of members of the Wu-Tang Clan) so it really shouldn’t come as a surprise that he has an expensive art collection… of cartoon characters. TMZ broke the story that the Chicago rapper invested more than $40,000 in 90’s cartoons inspired art to bless his children’s rooms with. According to TMZ Keef reached out to Idiot Box Art owners owners Emily Bright and Tamara Martin this past weekend and wound up with 5 digits worth of art pieces of The Simpsons, Rugrats, Super Mario Bros, and The Smurfs amongst other characters. All the works are made of hand-cut wood, covered with acrylic paint and finished with a coat of resin. The pieces range in size from 2 to 15 feet high. But that’s not all, Chief apparently also commissioned that a few cartoon versions of himself be developed. Why? Because it’s every parents job to embarrass their kids with such things. Check out the video below and don’t knock this aspect of Chief Keef’s parenting skills.

Source: Prince Williams / Getty Tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Miami is drama as usual, and there’s a lot going on. Spectacular from Pretty Ricky is living his best life. He has been splitting his time between LA and Miami. At this moment, we find him in LA, kicking it with Ray J and Fizz talking about his family drama. That family drama includes group woes (because Blue is his brother and Slick is his cousin) and his issues with his dad. He wants to get Pretty Ricky back together so they can tour and get some money, but they can’t stop fighting. His dad used to manage the group and they’re on the outs as well. Fizz and Ray encourage him to go back to Miami and get right with everyone. Let’s fast forward a bit. We finally meet Khaotic —of course, he spells Khaotic with a K—anyway, he’s a new entry to the show and he’s friends with Miami Tip. Apparently, he has a thing for Joy and Miami Tip plans to introduce them at his next showcase. Later on, it happens and Joy is not impressed with him. Dassit. She literally looked at him like (he was acting silly though): In other news, Trina has a new man. Remember last season when Trina went on a date with a man named Ray? It went well. Really well. They’re moving in together and for the umpteenth time Trina vents about the TNT project. There’s only one thing to do, have a chat with Trick Daddy. Hold that though. Amara La Negra catches up with Jojo, who of course fills her in on everything that has been going on. This means that Amara learns that people were talking smack about her at Jessie Woo’s brunch. You remember how people have been accusing her of being all up in folks boyfriend’s’ DM’s. Amara La Negra neither confirms nor denies her actions but she says she doesn’t want anyone’s man and that she did she could have them. Jojo feels like the solution is to have a sit down with Jessie. Because those always go well. Spectacular gets his chance to try to get Pretty Ricky back on the same page. Basically, Pleasure P and Blue get heated over some beef situation that happened in Cincinnati. Someone threatens to f–k someone up and it almost goes downhill. Security steps in and everything because Pleasure P stands up like he’s ready. However, they manage to calm down enough to come back and try this conversation again and finally get right. It looks like Pretty Ricky is back on…for now. Trina finally gets her moment to talk to Trick Daddy about the TNT project. He basically tells her that that situation from last week was her fault because she changed the setlist. Then he refuses to own up to his part in why the album hasn’t come out. Trina tells him that she has been doing her part and that the label gave up on him because he’s not doing what he needs to do. Basically, Trick is exhausting, refuses to take accountability and this convo goes nowhere. Trina finally has enough and says the TNT album is a dub. The episode closes out with that Jessie, Amara La Negra and Jojo sit down. You can pretty much guess how it goes. Jessie comes in hostile as she accuses Amara of flirting with her boyfriend and of stealing her ideas. Amara says that she has the wrong impression and that she’s just going off of what her man told her, but Jessie said she’s not just going off what her man told her and that she got the same info from other people. Amara actually keeps it classy and apologizes, but repeats that Jessie may not have the full story. Jojo gets irritated by Jessie’s demeanor and throws a drink on her. Security grabs Jojo. Amara calmly steps aside, but Jessie gets the bright and uncalled for idea to throw a Grey Goose bottle at her. Right on preacher’s kid. Jessie’s aim is trash so she misses, and Amara makes a good point: Not once did she disrespect her so that was really uncalled for. Jessie says Amara is faking the “America’s Sweetheart” routine. Amara doesn’t really try too hard to come off as extra sweet though, but whatevs. However, throwing a bottle at someone who wasn’t even aggressive with you isn’t cool. We know this is far from over so we’ll be back at it next week.

The debacle surrounding Kevin Hart and the 2019 Oscars reached a peak last week when Ellen DeGeneres seemingly made a few calls for the Academy Awards to take back the comedian as their host. He had stepped down after old homophobic tweets resurfaced and after thinking his decision over, Hart decided that resigning from the position was the right choice . He seems fed up of even bringing up the tweets and he surely would have had to address the scandal during his gig so he would rather just step down. READ MORE

Source: John Lamparski / Getty An arrest warrant has been issued for R. Kelly’s former manager, James Mason. Mason is accused of threatening to kill the father of Joycelyn Savage, one of the women featured in “Surviving R. Kelly.” According to CNN , the warrant was issued over the summer. When CNN called Mason Wednesday, he said he had “no comment” and referred additional questions to his attorney. In an incident report obtained by the network, Timothy Savage stated that Mason said, “I’m gonna do harm to you and your family, when I see you I’m gonna get you, I’m going to f***ing kill you.” The case was presented to a Magistrate Judge who issued a warrant in July, citing “terroristic threats and acts.” The warrant is assigned to the sheriff’s office. Joycelyn Savage’s family has claimed she is having a sexual relationship with Kelly, and that she is being manipulated by him into cutting off contact with the outside world. Her father says they haven’t heard from her in about two years. She responded to this claim in a video released in 2017 on TMZ, in which she denied she’s being held and that she had been brainwashed by the Grammy-award winning singer. “I just want everybody to know — my parents and everybody in the world — that I’m totally fine. I’m happy where I’m at and everything is OK with me,” she said in the video. Related: Father of Azriel Clary Talks “Surviving R.Kelly” & Shuts Down Critics on The QuickSilva Show R.
