Responsible for helping the first female rapper go platinum, Da Brat, Jermaine thinks there’s just enough variety as far as image and content. When by asked PEOPLE TV which rap Queen he’s feeling, this is what he said. “I can’t really say. They all rapping about the same thing. I don’t think they’re showing us who is the best rapper. For me, it’s like strippers rapping. As far as rap goes, I’m not getting ‘who is the best rapper.’ I’m getting, like, you got a story about you dancing in the club, YOU got a story about you dancing in the club, YOU got a story…ok. Who’s gonna be the rapper?” Hit play to hear it.

Marisa Papen who treats nude modeling like action sports, the adrenaline junkie doing what she can to get noticed, hype while being naked, cuz I guess she gets off to it, did a more standard instagram nude shoot, that showcased her well maintained thick bush…and her tits…doing nothing really exciting or different…but that include a naked chick so what the fuck else do you want or expect from the bitch. I mean I can’t be expected to try to be clever about a snorkel and mask wearing diver, unless it’s to bust out jokes about how I’d use a snorkel to go down on her so that I can fucking stay down there for hours investigating her sea creature pussy like it was the deep blue abyss….as I would with any naked girl…you know just doing my part…but in this case…I’d rather wear one of those vintage scuba suits with the giant helmet to avoid getting herpes….not that Papen has herpes…it is just that they all have herpes…just like all their nude pics look the same.

By now, yopu've probably heard the entire sordid story of how Jenelle Evans lost custody of her kids. The short version goes something like this: David Eason shot and killed Jenelle's dog in a fit of rage; the entire world freaked out because who the hell does that; CPS investigated and took the kids away to homes with fewer dog murders. By now, most of us familiar with that narrative. But this is Jenelle Evans we're talking about, which means there might be several layers of dishonesty, fabrication, and flat-out BS in plahy here. Sure, no sane person would ever pretend that their husband executed the family dog, but that doesn't mean Jenelle would never do such a thing. Yes, believe it or not, police now believe Evans might have made the whole thing up for publicity. Check out the latest wild allegation against the former Teen Mom 2 star: 1. The Nugget Incident Back in April, Jenelle told police that Jenelle shot and killed her French bulldog, Nugget, after the animal allegedly made a threatening gesture toward her 2-year-old daughter, Ensley. 2. Partner In Crime David has corroborated that story many times since, claiming that he made a split-second decision and dragged Nugget out of the house and shot him. 3. “Evidence” Eason even posted this photo which he claims shows a scratch on Ensley’s face, which was left there by David. 4. David’s Defense “I dont give a damn what animal bites my baby on the face… whether it be your dog or mine, a dog is a dog and I dont put up with that shit at all. I’m all about protecting my family, it is my lifes mission,” Eason wrote in a since-deleted social media tirade. 5. Not the Brightest Bulb “Some people are worth killing or dying for and my family means that much to me. You can hate me all you want but this isnt the first time the dog bit Ensley aggressively. The only person that can judge weather or not a animal is a danger to MY CHILD is ME,” he concluded. 6. Yeah, No … Of course, David quickly learned that the government actually gets to determine what is and his not a threat to his kids, ad Ensley and the other children were removed from the Easons’ land following a CPS investigation.

Source: Pose / FX Networks WARNING: Major spoilers ahead for episode 4 of “Pose:” If it felt that in the second season of Pose Candy Ferocity ( Angelica Ross ) was growing and developing into something bigger and better, you were not alone. While in the hit ballroom drama, Candy has always struggled, especially with choosing the correct category, she’d come a long way. Yes, she is still a mean girl who can read the girls and even threaten folks with that infamous hammer of hers, but she’s evolved a bit. She’s no longer the girl having strangers in basements inject faulty silicon in her rear, nor is she tagging behind former house mother Elektra Abundance Evangelista Wintour ( Dominique Jackson ) feeding off her scraps. Ms. Candy—as Pray Tell ( Billy Porter ) would say—had stepped up to become a co-mother, molding her own children and house, along with doing her damnedest to carve out her own lasting legacy. And as we jumped three years later to 1990 this season, we see how the girls—rather naively and annoyingly—have faith that Madonna’s hit song “Vogue” would bring them all from the shadows of this underground world into the bright lights of the Big Apple. As Candy said, she needed to the first one in the line of that mainstream gaze, because she has bigger dreams than winning trophies in the face category. She was destined to become a star in the outside world. She was looking to the future. Source: Pose / FX Networks Of course, we all wanted that for her, to see her rise and be successful like Angel (Indya Moore ), but in the fourth episode “ Never Knew Love Like This Before,” we realize that Candy “is never coming home.” Days after she’d gone missing, her bruised and bloody body was found, thrown in a seedy hotel closet like yesterday’s trash. See, Candy had to engage in survival sex work to keep her house afloat, but this time around, the danger too many vulnerable women like her face is what ended her life. Granted, it’s not like death is new to Pose . But the majority of those deaths have been from complications of AIDS, mostly taking the lives of Black and Latinx men. Meanwhile, many of the girls (outside of Blanca) seemed unscathed by the virus on-screen. But as Angelica Ross recently told me this season co-creator Ryan Murphy was clear that this season they would no longer be viewing these women’s world through “rose colored glasses.” But thankfully, her death wasn’t treated like an afterthought like Tara from True Blood or with blatant disregard like Missandei on Game of Thrones). As I recently pointed out for Shondaland , Candy’s storyline was treated with “the love, dignity and respect it deserved.” During Candy’s memorial, her fierce-as-ever ghost appeared in order to make amends with frenemies like Pray Tell, encourage Angel to carry on her torch to the next generation of trans girls like her and to reunite with her estranged parents who had refused to see their son as the woman she was born to be. Most importantly, Candy was no longer the butt of the ball’s jokes. In her final scene, she was able to fulfill her biggest goal before crossing over: To be the queen of the ballroom in a category she knew she could conquer, lip-syncing. But it’s important to point out that this stunning (and triggering moment) in television was also an example of art imitating life. In the iconic 1990 documentary Paris Is Burning , which Pose is heavily inspired by, Venus Xtravaganza’ promising life was ended short when her body was found in a “sleazy motel” four days after she’d been strangled. Like Candy, her killer was never caught. One would think that with time comes progress, but for trans women, specifically Black and Latinx trans women like Candy and Venus, that isn’t always the case. Yes, they are more visible in pop culture, but being seen doesn’t translate into safety. Just this year alone, eleven Black trans women in the U.S. have been murdered : Dana Martin. Jazzaline Ware. Ashanti Carmon. Claire Legato. Muhlaysia Booker. Michelle “Tamika” Washington. Paris Cameron. Chynal Lindsey. Chanel Scurlock. Zoe Spears. Brooklyn Lindsey. What’s even worse is that it’s estimated that the average lifespan for trans women is only 35-years-old. Think if that were the case for cisgender Black women. Think if every year you inch closer to 35, you inch closer to death. Every time you blow out your birthday candles you are reminded of ALL the years, happiness and dreams that will be robbed from you because you are brave enough to live your truth. That’s the real tragedy. All that potential, just lost. All of the gifts they can offer and receive from this world, gone. This is exactly what Candy’s fictional death represents—the dreams deferred of the real-life Black trans women we’ve lost and will continue to lose to this senseless, transphobic and crippling violence. Sadly, it’s happening on our watch. So if there was ever a time to stand up for Black trans women, it’s now. Now is the time to love and support our sisters by fighting for a better and more welcoming world that allows for them to live their fullest and longest lives. We owe them that. Most importantly, now is the time to ensure that when we say the names of the Candys of this world, we’re not just doing it in death, but celebrating them in life.

A post shared by French Montana (@frenchmontana) on Jul 6, 2019 at 4:33pm PDT If only everyone had a friend like French Montana . Ever since his comrade and brother in arms Max B was locked up a decade ago, Montana has gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure Max’s name isn’t forgotten out in a rap game that has a short memory when it comes to certain artists. Yesterday French unexpectedly released the fourth installment of the mixtape series he and Max B began 10 years ago, Coke Wave 4 , and once again kept his man’s name buzzing across the Hip-Hop board. The Paul Couture produced project comes in at 9 cuts deep with zero guest features. Can’t have anyone taking the spotlight from the dynamic duo now can you? In a phone call to Rolling Stone from prison, Max B called the latest chapter of Coke Wave “the equivalent of Kawhi Leonard going to Toronto, winning that championship in one year, and now he’s a super free agent and he can do whatever he wants, make any decisions he wants.” More soberly, he adds, “it shows I can collaborate with other artists of stature and still hold my own.” Then it’s back to charming bluster: “Anybody I fuck with, I’m gonna sound buttery.” Take a listen to Coke Wave 4 below and let us know if it is indeed something you can spread on your breakfast toast.

Forbes featured Kanye West as part of its magazine’s cover-story highlighting the world’s highest-paid entertainers and sat down with the rapper to discuss his Yeezy brand which is currently riding a massive wave of success over the last four years since its inception. Forbes revealed West gracing the cover of its latest issue — which is set to hit stands on August 31 — alongside the quote “I am a product guy at my core.” In the story, it was revealed that the Yeezy brand is expected to top $1.5 billion in sales by the end of the year according to the publication’s estimations bringing to fruition Ye’s dream of being the latest rapper to reach the billion-dollar club. View this post on Instagram Kanye’s Second Coming: Inside The Billion-Dollar Yeezy Empire… in bio for our #Celeb100 cover story. ( : @jameltoppinphoto) A post shared by Forbes (@forbes) on Jul 9, 2019 at 5:13am PDT Speaking with Forbes’ senior editor Zack O’Malley, in the most Kanye way possible, the MAGA cap loving rapper opened up about his artistic approach and criticism thrown his way: “‘Crazy’ is a word that’s not gonna be used loosely in the future. Understand that this is actually a condition that people can end up in, be born into, driven into, and go in and out. And there’s a lot of people that have been called that ‘C’ word that have ended up on this cover.” Elsewhere, Kanye breaks down his religiously-motivated creative process, the first sneaker he remembers sketching and more.” Forbes has Mr.West bringing in $130 million pre-tax income over the last years and with the arrival of the YEEZY Boost 350 V3 model on the way look for that number to continue to go up. Yeezy’s team believes that number could be much higher than reported, but he shouldn’t be ashamed at it because it landed him at no.3 on Forbes’ Celebrity 100 list.

According to a 130-page report released by Atlanta Police Department, Officer Keisha Richburg was seen taking $500 from the wallet of a shooting victim, after she responded to a police call on June 19th. Officers are obligated to take the belongs from shooting victims to their families at the hospital. The body cam catches the officer receiving the wallet from a Grady EMT with $500 in it, then putting the wallet in her car. Once the officer arrives at Grady Hospital, the wallet is empty. APD Chief Erika Shields says she wants integrity to be at the heart of the department and that Richburg does not represent the kind of officer that is good for this city.
