Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN Lil Nas X had the Internet rallying around him after a recent appearance on HBO’s The Shop alongside Kevin Hart , which some fans felt was the comedian trying to question X on his sexuality. According to the “Old Town Road” star, he says there’s no issue between him and Hart and even if there were issues, the public wouldn’t know about it. TMZ exclusively reports : The “Old Town Road” rapper says he’s not fuming about the perceived slight. While recording an interview Tuesday with DJ Scream and Moran Tha Man — for their Atlanta-based show, Hoodrich Radio! — he said, “I’m not mad at Kevin Hart.” Lil Nas really wanted that to sink in for the outrage police on the Internet … who were still going after Kevin, even after he suffered serious injuries in that car accident. Last week on HBO’s “The Shop” Nas X was asked about coming out as gay earlier this year. Before he could even get into why he came out when he did … Kevin blurted out, “He said he was gay, so what?!?” Many people found it tone-deaf. Kevin later interjected with more clarifying questions that some took as disrespect, especially in light of his past issues with the LGBTQ community. Welp, that settles that, although it’s doubtful people won’t take their feet off Kevin Hart’s neck for his past transgressions all the same. — Photo: WENN
In the months since Amber Portwood was arrested for assault, Andrew Glennon certanly hasn't kept a low profile. But he has managed to control the conversation about his increasingly messy custody battle. Glennon candidly discusses the situation with fans on Instafgram, which should be his right. But now, it seems MTV is sending the battered baby daddy a very clear message: Shut up about Amber .. unless you're talking to us. According to a new report from The Ashley's Reality Roundup, Andrew was recently ambushed by Teen Mom OG producers and forced to take part in the show. Yes, folks — a very messed up situation just got much, much worse. Take a look: 1. Better Days? From the outside, it looked as though Amber and Andrew enjoyed some happy days in their relationship, But Andrew now says it was abusive from the start. 2. On His Own It’s one of the revelations he’s made during his candid Instagram chats with fans in the months since Amber was arrested for attacking him with a machete and striking him while he was holding the couple’s 1-year-old son. 3. Andrew’s Blunder From a legal standpoint, it was never the smartest move for Andrew to discuss a pending court case on social media. 4. Telling His Story But to his credit, he seemed more concerned with getting the truth out then with protecting his legal interests. 5. Double Standard? Would a female domestic violence victim be encouraged to keep quiet? Would MTV producers rush to esploit her story? It’s touch to say for sure — but that’s certainly what’s happening to Andrew. 6. Blindsided According to a new report from The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, Andrew was recently “ambushed” by Teen Mom OG producers who essentially strong-armed him into filming scenes for the show.

Officers called for assistance and the Las Vegas fire department arrived several minutes later,” KTNV reports. The 50-year-old later died hospital.

Thompkin, who is identified as Williams’ stepson, claimed the footage the family saw was “doctored” and “that up to 40 minutes had elapsed between the traffic stop and images that he said showed his stepfather lifeless on the concrete, meaning that he didn’t die on the way to the hospital, as the family was told.” The officers were placed on routine leave as the family is asking for the investigation to continue.

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Though Def Jam, Death Row and Bad Boy were considered the 90’s biggest and baddest Hip-Hop record labels, real heads know that LOUD Records was responsible for dropping just as much classic material (if not more) as the aforementioned companies. To celebrate its 25th Anniversary, LOUD Records will be throwing a OG star-studded concert on October 11 at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ dubbed LOUD Twenty-Five . Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, Big Pun, and Xzibit are just a few names that the house that Steve Rifkind and Rich Issacson built. They helped push the rap game forward and the sounds that they created still reverberate in the culture to this day. Slated to feature performances from LOUD alumni such as the Wu-Tang Clan, Three 6 Mafia, Mobb Deep (R.I.P. Prodigy), dead prez, Pete Rock, and a Big Pun tribute courtesy of Fat Joe and Remy Ma, the concert event is poised to become a night to remember for the heads who lived Hip-Hop’s golden era. Steve Rifkind perfectly summed up why this concert means so much to him. “This celebration means the world to me,” said Rifkind via a press statement. “LOUD was born out of a love for hip hop and a childhood fantasy. To see it grow into one of the most iconic and storied hip hop labels in history and having the opportunity to celebrate with our amazing artists 25 years later leaves me speechless about our journey.” Get tickets to the OG Hip-Hop concert of 2019 at Ticketmaster and let us know if you’re looking forward to partying like it’s nineteen ninety-something once again come October 11.

Antonio Brown has been accessed of sexually assaulting his former trainer, according to ESPN . A lawsuit was filed Tuesday in the Southern District of Florida. ESPN reports that the lawsuit accuses the NFL receiver of sexually assaulting his former trainer, Britney Taylor, on three separate occasions from 2017 and 2018. The first alleged incident came in June 2017, with Taylor saying Brown exposed himself and kissed her without consent. A month later, Taylor alleges in the lawsuit, Brown masturbated near her without her knowledge and ejaculated on her back, then later bragged about it in a series of text messages. And then, in May 2018, Taylor alleges that Brown “forced her down onto a bed, pushed her face into the mattress, and forcibly raped her.” Brown’s lawyer said that his client and Taylor were involved in a “consensual personal relationship. Any sexual interaction with Mr. Brown was entirely consensual.” Source: Christian Petersen / Getty The lawsuit claims the incidents have left Taylor suffering “near-daily panic attacks and suicidal ideations.” “As a rape victim of Antonio Brown, deciding to speak out has been an incredibly difficult decision,” Taylor said in a statement. “I have found strength in my faith, my family, and from the accounts of other survivors of sexual assault.” The allegation comes after weeks of drama surrounding the All-Pro receiver, which eventually led to his release from the Raiders, and eventual signing with the New England Patriots Monday. There was no immediate comment from the Patriots or the NFL. Source: ESPN Related: Jig Alert: Antonio Brown Signs With The New England Patriots
Source: Xilla Valentine / No Kable Productions It’s human nature to change your appearance every so often in attempt to align with how you feel inside. No wonder the classic Coco Chanel proverb that “a woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life” rangs so true for so many people. The real MVPs of evolution and change are Black Women. We can go from short hair, to long waves to an afro or Box braids all in one week. The DMX Challenge is proof that we can be whoever we want, any day of the week, and still manage to look like ourselves. But what about the folks whose looks have changed so drastically that they look nothing like themselves? Like The Weeknd , whose new mustache and weird makeup job almost made him unrecognizable to fans. The Weeknd Debarge https://t.co/4Czrs8PhRH — Makayla (@LayDaye) September 10, 2019 Often times, celebs take a mini hiatus from their work, and come back looking like a whole new person. Or they start making more money and we start to notice the not so subtle adjustments they’ve made to themselves. Or, some stars adopt a much healthier lifestyle and start to lose weight and glow from the inside out. Whatever the case may be, it’s their body. Their mind. Their choice. Just know that you can’t get anything past the Internets. Hit the flip for more celebs who changed their look over time.
Well, that was fast! Just last week we reported that several members of the Duggar family had traveled to the Bahamas in order to assist with Hurricane Dorian relief efforts . Now, it seems they either finished the job way ahead of schedule or realized rebuilding a nation is, like, super hard and decided to just pack it in. Look, before you go and flame us in the comments, volunteering is always admirable; we’re sure the Duggars’ hearts were in the right place; and they’re under no obligation to stay until the job is finished, which it may never be. That said, the fans who immediately suspected this was some sort of publicity stunt? Yeah, they may have been onto something. On Monday, Joy-Anna Duggar posted the above photo, in which she can be seen welcoming home her husband, Austin Forsyth. “He’s HOME!” Joy captioned the pic. “Keep praying for [medic corps] and some of my family as they are still working down in Bahamas!” Joy didn’t specify which members of her family are still in the Bahamas. But she did make yet another reference to Medic Corps, an organization that seems to have been founded by the Duggars sometime in the past couple weeks. As we mentioned, many fans have been highly critical of the Duggars’ involvement in the Dorian cleanup . This is primarily due to the fact that the family decided to launch its own non-profit, rather than simply volunteering for the Red Cross, or one of the many other established organizations already assisting in the efforts. As anyone who’s ever worked for one can tell you, a lot of people get very rich from so-called non-profits, and it looks like with Medic Corps., the Duggars are hoping to grab themselves a piece of the disaster relief pie. That’s fine, of course — making money is what the Duggars do best, and lately, it seems they’re more focused than ever on ensuring that their kids and grandkids are provided for long after the spotlight dims and the camera crews go home. But if they thought spending less than a week in a devastated region would be enough to convince fans they’re serious about the welfare of the Bahamas, it seems they were mistaken. Again, we don’t have the full story. Perhaps Austin had a reason to return early, and the other Duggars who made the trip are planning to see this thing through. But if the Duggars are hoping to continue on with Medic Corps., it might benefit them to get the whole story out there ASAP. View Slideshow: Duggar Family: Secrets of Their Twisted Ministry Revealed
