Countess Vaughn is one person who’s bumped heads with Usher, but in a good way. The actress and singer, best known for playing Kim Parker on Moesha and The Parkers , appeared on the late show Vibe back in the late 90s and Usher happened to be visiting at the same time. With two talented singers in one room, a small battle ensued that got the crowd hype. Check it out below! You can barely understand what they’re saying…but sang that! If you want to watch how the conversation went after that, peep the full clip below!
Source: Paul Natkin / Getty Ladies, gentlemen…people across the globe, we have reached a very special moment in history…or so I hope. Kanye West , a.k.a. the next Walt Disney , Steve Jobs , and Picasso , is chucking the deuces up to his ego. I killed my ego — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) June 14, 2018 That’s right, the thing that has gotten Kanye into trouble more times than once has finally hit six feet under. Hours before Kanye’s big announcement, he posted about his wife’s involvement in freeing 63-year-old Alice Johnson from prison. https://t.co/GBaHHmLIL3 — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) June 14, 2018 Then, Kanye went into a Twitter thread about eliminating pride… give without pride — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) June 14, 2018 your pride can be and will be used against you — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) June 14, 2018 be great without pride — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) June 14, 2018 And then came the big reveal… I killed my ego — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) June 14, 2018 Who or what is Kanye West with no ego? Just Ye — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) June 14, 2018 And big shocker…this is something new for Ye… this is new for me but it’s just how I feel now. I don’t know why. I thought my ego protected me from doubters so that I wouldn’t doubt myself but there has to be a better way to do this — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) June 14, 2018 Finally, Ye ended by saying his need to help people affects his actions… sometimes I have trouble saying no because I want to help everyone — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) June 14, 2018 So there you have it. Could we be on the horizon of a new Ye? We already know how random and fickle he can be. And now that it’s known he has bipolar disorder , I wonder if that will affect his future sentiments. Per usual, only time will tell and Kanye will continue to keep us guessing. Until then, I’ll happily attend that ego funeral. Let’s just hope the only resurrection Kanye believes in is Jesus Christ.

Jada — with the assistance of her mother Adrienne Banfield-Jones and daughter Willow — discusses everything from sex to friendship, to mental health. Jada brought some of her therapeutic flavor to Megyn Kelly Today where she even talked about her own struggles with mental & emotional health. “I was just sharing on my Instagram the other day of those times that I was in such deep despair that I’ve also thought about taking my life,” she said. Find out how Jada was able to overcome her struggles in the clip below starting at the 5:16 mark!
