The vegan mother of 5 is expanding her brand into the skincare space. The new line is called face by Camille Rose and has six products to help keep your pores clean, skin hydrated, and your face bright! The products contain ingredients like white peony to promote hydration and volcanic ash clay to pull impurities from your pores. Stephens boasts that you will “see results in just three weeks.” The line contains a exfoliating scrub, a moisturizer, a night serum, a two in one make-up remover and toner, detox mask and undereye cream. Products cost no more than $20.00, making it affordable. She’s also selling all six for $100.00 on camillerose.com. Not sure which products to try first? Her personal favorite is the Fresh Tone ($19.00, camillerose.com ) which she excitedly reveals is a “two in one product” that “gives you a dewy look.” Skincare has always been important to Stephens and a focus. She explained to Hello Beautiful , “I really started with skin and body, but the hair just kinda took off first.” Camille Rose Naturals is known for their hair care products for Black women. She admitted, “I didn’t set out to do this at all. This was a hobby of mine turned business.” Her hobby turned business is now turning into an empire. At her launch event she revealed, “we are expanding our brand, our name, to Camille Rose Home, Camille Rose Body, so be on the look out for that.” So exciting! During our interview she shared, ‘It’s mind, body, soul. Total wellness life.” She continued, “I try to communicate that with the ingredients that I use and how I live my life.” Stephens admitted to mixing her products by hand, even when she was announced in Target. The beauty boss stated, “I grew organically. I took my time. I think the reason I was able to do that was because this business was not my end all be all.” Stephens is a therapist by nature and owned a home health agency before she began in the beauty space. We’re excited to see what’s coming from the Camille Rose brand!
John Legend is completely over Donald Trump . So it’s no surprise the famed singer, father of two, and husband to Chrissy Teigen let his disdain for no. 45 be known when approached by TMZ cameras on Tuesday night. “Our president is a flaming racist, he’s a piece of sh*t,” John told the site . “He says piece of sh*t, sh*t all the time. That’s what he does; we need to get him out of office.” When asked by the paparazzi what he thought could be done, he responded… “There’s a lot that could be done. Over a century of history that create the problems that they have — and we need to focus on making all of our communities better, instead of talking sh*t about a community just because you’re a racist prick.” John didn’t stop there, though. “Donald Trump is an evil f*cking canker sore on America’s whole landscape. So, we need to get him out of office.” John seems to be referring to Trump tweeting about Baltimore being a very “dangerous and filthy” place. ICYMI, Trump said the city is a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess” and on Monday, he also tweeted that Baltimore was leading in crime, blaming the city’s issues on democrats.

Source: Roy Rochlin / Getty When They See Us was released back in May, and it’s still on the minds of many viewers two months later. To be specific, what occurred to certain characters viewers were introduced to in the film is something people are still trying to figure out. For example, earlier this week, Ava DuVernay answered a question from a fan who wondered what ever happened to Korey Wise ’s girlfriend, Lisa, whom he left briefly at a chicken joint to go to Central Park with friends. In the film, Korey was played by actor Jharrel Jerome ( now nominated for an Emmy award ), and Lisa was played by Euphoria star Storm Reid . Source: Atsushi Nishijima / Netflix And while, for instance, Raymond Santana was able to reconnect with his love interest, who is named Tanya in the movie (and played by Aurora Perrineau ), Korey was only able to daydream about Lisa when he was in prison for more than a decade. Ava said when he was finally released, he wasn’t able to get back in touch with her because she died. She said, to this day, when Korey speaks of her, he always adds “Rest in Peace.” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). I’m sorry. Korey never reconnected with his girlfriend from the time of his arrest. Sadly, she passed away before he was released from prison 13 years later. Whenever Korey mentions Lisa to this day, he always adds “Rest in Peace.” I truly hope she is. #WhenTheySeeUs https://t.co/rBkofABUcT — Ava DuVernay (@ava) July 30, 2019 Unfortunately, Lisa was introduced in the film without a last name, so despite doing some digging, it hasn’t been possible to figure out her full name and look up the reason she passed so young (for context, Korey is just 47). Unless Ava has some more insight on that, which she is looking to share, we’ll never know. There did seem to be an homage of sorts to her and that time Korey’s life at the end of the film. When They See Us ends with Korey returning to the chicken spot he last visited with Lisa after being released and exonerated and places an order. Sign Up For Our Newsletter!

Overall, he’s lost a lot, including his innocence. But as Wise shared in an interview with The New York Times prior to the release of the hit Netflix movie, he still found that he has a lot to be thankful for. “ This is life after death,” he said of where he is now. “I always say that. From now on I know what Biggie was talking about. There’s life after death.” [ione_media_gallery src=”https://rickeysmileymorningshow.com” id=”2005994″ overlay=”true”] This story was originally published on MadameNoire.com .

Nida’s original release date was October 15 but prison records now indicate his release date is November 26. Back in 2014, the reality star was sentenced to 96 months in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit mail, wire and bank fraud. As The Blast first reported, Nida was re-arrested last month after violating the terms of his parole while serving his sentence in a halfway home. Nida had a list of rules to follow while living in the halfway home and we’re told he broke a technical requirement pertaining to the rules of his release. The reality star was taken into custody at the Philadelphia Federal Court House and placed back into the system. [ione_media_gallery src=”https://zhiphopcleveland.com” id=”4790690″ overlay=”true”]
Source: Daniel Bailey / Radio One According to reports, American Express claims that the late Nipsey Hussle owes nearly $50,000 in unpaid credit card bills. This isn’t the first company to state that the rapper owes anything to them after his death, however Paramount Group also sued the estate for similar reasons, though they did drop the case. The total amount AMEX claims is owed is $46,930.67. There currently is no named administrator handling Hussle’s affairs, though there are reports that his brother, Blacc Sam, has requested to be the one put in charge, citing that the two managed several businesses together when he was still alive.
Source: Jub Rubjob / Getty Roger Morton and his pregnant fiancé Porsha Shields were pulled over in Mississippi earlier in the month for speeding when two white officers escalated the situation, with one drawing his weapon while another grabbed Morton by the neck. The video of the exchange has since gone viral after it was posted publicly on Facebook this week with Morton and Shields demanding answers. NBC News reports : Porsha Shields shared the clip of the July 12 incident on Facebook, and then told friends on Tuesday, “I AM NOT ok and I haven’t been for weeks now.” The 4 1/2-minute video showed her friend Robert Morton, 34, standing behind his car, on the side of the road in Clay County, chatting with a state trooper. The trooper can be heard telling Morton he was under arrest for going 101 mph in a 65 mph zone. Morton refuses orders to put his hands behind his back to be handcuffed. “Why am I getting arrested?” Morton repeatedly asks. A second trooper then pulls up and immediately put his hands on Morton’s throat. The two troopers then wrestle him to the ground. “Oh my goodness!” Shields screams. “You ain’t got to do all that! Sir, you ain’t got to all of that!” Morton was cited for several charges, including going 20 miles over the speed limit, not wearing a seat belt and resisting arrest among other charges. In the video, the police officers seemingly pushed the aggression angle although in fairness Morton appeared to not be initially complaint. — Photo: Getty
Source: NOAH BERGER / Getty Hope your credit scores are above 600. CEO Tim Cook announced during Apple’s third fiscal quarter earnings call that the company’s credit card, the Apple Card will arrive in August. First announced back in March , Cook revealed without giving a specific date its August release. He also conveyed the card has been used by Apple employees every day during a beta test. “Thousands of Apple employees are using Apple Card every day in our beta test. And we plan to begin the rollout of Apple Card in August. When Apple fanatics get their cards, it will be fully integrated with their iPhones and other devices. It will serve as a digital card inside the Apple Wallet working in tandem with Apple Pay. The physical titanium card will be mailed to users via the mail for free. Now for those of you who are worried about security risks of having your money directly tied to the tech company, Apple says not to worry. The tech giant reassures there will be ” a new level of privacy and security” with the Apple Card. The Goldman Sachs backed card will not feature a CVV code, card number, expiration date. Instead, it will rely on “advanced security technologies” like Face ID and Touch ID and unique transaction codes. Each transaction will generate unique numbers. Another feature potential users can is it will not have any annual fees and lower interest rates. To stay on top of your spending, you can use the Wallet App to track your spending habits and balances. There will also be a cashback program offering extra rewards for any Apple Pay or Apple Store purchases you make using the credit card. Will you be signing up for the Apple Card?

Source: Robin L Marshall / Getty Tonight’s episode of Basketball Wives finds us still in San Diego. Evelyn and Jennifer are finally friends again, but more beef lurks elsewhere, of course. Malaysia is annoyed that Evelyn and Jenn made up because she still doesn’t rock with Jenn. She didn’t think Evelyn would go for it, but she did so now Malaysia feels like she’s the only person left who hasn’t been fooled by Jenn. Other people in the group think it’s time to get Malaysia and Jenn together to talk, other people is Jackie. However, if you recall, we last left Malaysia and Jenn’s relationship in shambles after Malaysia threw a table at Jenn because she felt like Jenn tried to use her to spread malicious rumors about Evelyn and her daughter. Forgiveness from Malaysia probably isn’t happening any time soon but she does plan to apologize to Jenn for throwing a table at her. In other news, CeCe is preparing for her upcoming wedding, but Byron and his kids (including Kristen) still aren’t on the same page. There’s a chance that they might not show up to his wedding. However, Malaysia and Kristen still feel like they can work things out and be a happy family. We’ll see. It’s dinner time now the ponderosa begins. Everyone feels the need to tell OG how wrong she was for spilling the tea about Kristen’s husband and talking smack about her man, yatta yatta. Now, OG was wrong for volunteering that information. However, OG brought up a good point when she mentioned that Kristen said lots of nasty things about her and her relationship. In OG’s mind, they were at a war of words and now they’re even. This isn’t enough for the rest of these hyenas. They harp on OG being wrong and really think she should apologize to Kristen. Mind you, no one is saying anything to Kristen, who definitely isn’t innocent. Once again, OG makes a good point, which is that if Kristen doesn’t talk about her nasty then she won’t talk nasty about Kristen. Feby jumps into the mix and asks everyone to go downstairs to watch her new video. As everyone heads down, Jenn pulls OG aside and shows her a video of Feby talking smack about her, and then mentions how Feby told them she wrote a diss track about OG. Jenn is being messy, but she’s actually not wrong here. She just doesn’t want OG to be blindsided. OG wastes no time going straight to Feby to see what’s up. She asks Feby directly if she wrote a diss track about her. Feby completely punks out. She was all talk when she was telling Evelyn, Shaunie, and Malaysia, verbatim, that she wrote a diss track about OG. However, she tells OG that she just said she wrote some rhymes about people who wear fake clothes. Everyone who heard Feby say what she said is looking at Feby sideways but none of them really call her out on it. OG then tells Feby that she could deliver those Nigerian fists of fury and kill her with her bare hands but has decided to keep it cute. Now, if you’ve been watching this show for multiple seasons you know dang well there has been a lot of aggression. Nothing should be that surprising, but apparently, OG’s comment is enough to shock everyone. Like, they’re literally all pretending to be appalled by OG’s commentary. Shaunie even says that OG’s “aggression” is driving a wedge between her and everything else. So, all the times Tami attempted to beat the breaks off someone, all the time Evelyn has run across tables and also attempted to beat the breaks off someone, Jackie has actually fought and attempted to fight, Malaysia threw a dang table at Jenn, but OG, who has actually never attempted violence, simply speaking about violence while defending herself, is scaring them? Yeah, okay. What’s the difference between OG and all of the aforementioned women? Complexion. People in these Twitter streets, self-included, think this is colorism at play. Debate your mother! Anyway, here’s what the Tweets are saying: The colorism on this damn show is NOT ok, so Evelyn can act loud, scream and throw things..she’s not aggressive but OG is aggressive because she’s dark skin and they don’t find her attractive @ShaunieONeal your colorism is showing #basketballwives — Vanity Fair (@_exxotica) August 1, 2019 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js Colorism at its best…smh…I will not watch again. It really saddens me to see GROWN black women bully other black women. OG have taught women how to stand up for themselves fade and all — Nicolee T. Henderson (@nicolee0007) August 1, 2019 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js It’s absolutely colorism. OG hasn’t ever laid hand or thrown objects on anyone yet she’s all of a sudden super scary? FOH! https://t.co/oSEUCftiQ0 — Blocka Khan (@Starr_Rocque) August 1, 2019 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js Anyway, Feby’s punk arse continues to lie to OG and talk circles around the situation so this is uneventful, but they do show Feby’s video and OG is even classy enough to stay and watch it. It’s aight. She’s not the next hip-hop it girl, though. Now we’re back in San Diego. Cece and Byron meet up with OG for dinner. OG wants to clarify the things Malaysia said about CeCe and Byon feeding OG info to use as ammo, and whether they’re using her or not. Byron and Cece deny this, of course. Byron said OG has always been cool, and so has her man and that the drama isn’t his style. He just wants to move on. He then says that his conversation with Malaysia was about trying to repair the family. Mind you, Byron never said what Malaysia said he said, but OG wants to know where the ammunition stuff is coming from and asks directly. Byron said he never said that. OG is cool with his answer and that’s that for now. Byron and CeCe are coming across as really fake, but whatever. OG wouldn’t be in this situation if she had just minded her business, but I digress. Things will get worse in the upcoming episodes. There’s going to be another trip to Costa Rica, there will be more rumors started, some lie detector tests about who started what rumor and the old Jackie is definitely going to make an appearance too.
