Hipcamp just received a big round of funding from several investment partners, including Jay-Z and Will Smith . On Tuesday (August 13), Alyssa Ravasio, the CEO and founder of Hipcamp, announced the involvement of Jay-Z’s Marcy Venture Partners, and Will Smith’s Dreamers Fund. According to a publicist’s e-mail, the Brooklyn business mogul’s group invested $1 million, adding to an overall $25 million dollar funding round that was announced around three weeks ago. From Ravasio’s blog post on Hipcamp: Today, I’m beyond honored to welcome Marcy Venture Partners and Dreamers Fund to the Hipcamp community. Marcy Venture Partners is co-founded by Shawn Carter (“Jay-Z”), Jay Brown, and Larry Marcus, and Dreamers Fund is co-founded by Will Smith, Keisuke Honda, Kosaku Yada, and Takeshi Nakanishi. Through our partnership with the Cultural Leadership Fund, we’re proud to collaborate with some of the world’s most influential cultural leaders, taking a major step toward achieving our mission to get more people outside. Our vision for Hipcamp is to fundamentally shift culture in a way that fosters widespread connections to the outdoors, encompassing every person who needs to breathe fresh air and directly experience nature’s awe-inspiring impact. Considering that people young and old are looking for ways to incorporate the outdoors more into their lives, this could prove to be a fruitful venture for Hov and the Fresh Prince. Hipcamp provides campers options for over 300,000 campsites, public parks, RVs and more. Learn more about Hipcamp here . Source: Hipcamp / Hipcamp Source: Hipcamp / Hipcamp — Photo: Hipcamp

The controversially self-proclaimed G.O.A.T. returns! After garnering all kinds of slander and support for crowning himself a rap legend, Wale looks to further drive the point home that he is indeed a greatest of all-time. In the visual for his Jeremih assisted “On Chill,” Ralph Folarin finds himself in an extravagant pool party where he dismisses a threesome opportunity to spend quality time with “the one.” Common meanwhile links up with Swizz Beatz to remind Black men of the strength they possess when living through police brutality and other aspects of the struggle in his black-and-white video for “Hercules.” Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from Murda Beatz featuring Lil Pump and Sheck Wes, Yung Mal, and more.

Fans and haters alike came together to express their confusion, disappointment, and disapproval of Jay’s latest “business” venture. One of the loudest and most noted voices speaking against Beyonce’s bae was Colin Kaepernick’s girlfriend Nessa. Not one to bite her tongue, Nessa put her foot on the gas and also on Jay’s neck during an interview on Hot 97 yesterday. “The disappointment in Jay-Z isn’t in the partnership. The disappointment is wrapping it in Social Justice.” – Nessa. — Captain Cristobal (@CRS_One) August 14, 2019 “I don’t mind you doing a business deal – but I do mind you wrapping it in social justice when you’re working with an organization that denies someone an opportunity.” – Nessa — Captain Cristobal (@CRS_One) August 14, 2019 “Jay has phenomenal music, he’s done so much nobody’s taking that away from him! Do your business! But don’t talk to me about that League when they’re doing dishonorable things.” — Captain Cristobal (@CRS_One) August 14, 2019 See more of what she had to say on the flip.
It’s not often you get to see a group of young, funny, professional kids carrying an entire Rated R film on their backs — but alas, Jacob Tremblay , Keith L. Williams and Brady Noon did just that. The brilliant preteens star in one of the summer’s most anticipated comedies, Good Boys ; produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg who also gave us classics like Superbad . The profane and hilarious flick tells the story of three sixth grade boys who ditch school and embark on an epic journey while carrying accidentally stolen drugs, being hunted by teenage girls, and trying to make their way home in time for a long-awaited party. I caught up with the kid stars of the movie, and Molly Gordon (who plays Hannah) as they dished on everything from awkward crushes to the first Rated R film they were allowed to watch. Noon: Mine was Caddyshack, with Bill Murray. I watched that with my dad. Williams: Mine was Superbad. Noon: Really? When me and you watched it, that was your first Rated R movie? Williams: That’s the one that I was allowed to see. (Laughs) Although Jacob couldn’t remember his first R Rated flick, he did give some great advice to young teens that are having a hard time fitting in. Watch the full interview above to check it out.

His murder affected the people of Los Angeles, the hip-hop community, and shook the world as a whole–and even though he was such a strong presence in our community before his passing, that’s only been amplified since he lost his life.He left such a huge impact on people that never even met him, so it’s no surprise that those who actually knew, loved, and spent time with him really cherish how important of a person he was to so many people. August 15th marks what would have been the rapper’s 34th birthday, and to celebrate the occasion, all of Nipsey’s friends have spent the day sharing the most touching tributes for him. Here are some of the loving captions and heart-warming photos posted about Hussle on his birthday by friends, family, and everyone in between. You already know it’s going to be a tear-jerker, but there’s not way to skip over such an important day for someone who has been in the hearts of so many every single day since his passing. Of course, Nipsey’s other half Lauren London posted some photos of her king, along with a picture of Nip’s sister Sam posing next to a portrait of him. View this post on Instagram Today We celebrate You my beloved Today we honor you King We are to live in our highest vibrations today because that is how Nip lived his life.

Earlier this summer, a deeply disturbing report came out about Gina Kirschenheiter’s husband allegedly attacking her and threatening her life. Since then, they have been to court. A judge has extended Gina’s restraining order and agreed to the end of their marriage, but they’ll still technically be married for months . For a woman who spent so much time last year boasting to Shannon Beador about her easy divorce, Gina’s split has taken a nasty turn. In June, she alleged that Matt had shown up at her house late at night and then broken in and attacked her. She accuses her ex of having pushed her down, of having struck her. Gina at one point fled the house to seek help from a neighbor, but says that Matt dragged her back to the house. Someone dialed 911 and police arrived, but not before Matt had allegedly threatened Gina’s life repeatedly. Absolutely bone-chilling stuff. Now, RadarOnline reports that a judge has granted Gina and Matt’s “dissolution of marriage.” It seems that, despite the June nightmare, the two were able to come together to address some major aspects of their divorce. However, there is a lot of paperwork remaining, pertaining to “matters of joint property and other issues.” For that reason, Gina and Matt will remain “married,” technically speaking, until December 31, 2019. The court hopes that they will be able to complete that paperwork before then. On January 1, Gina will be single and presumably ready to mingle. It seems clear that both Gina and Matt were ready and eager for the marriage to end. The issues that they resolved included division of properties, spousal support, child support, and other financial matters. Things at the Wednesday, August 14 hearing became heated as Matt was asked some very direct questions. Matt agreed that the reasons for their divorce were “irreconcilable differences.” He also conceded that he would not get back with Gina if suddenly presented with the opportunity to do so. The most important part of many divorces is determining custody of any children. It seems that Gina and Matt were able to reach an accord on that topic. But knowing that they agreed in court is not the same thing as knowing the details of their custody arrangement. Speaking of Gina’s children, don’t expect to see her changing her name any time soon. As she explained to the judge, she wants to keep the same last name as her children. A lot of divorced moms make that same difficult choice. Then comes the matter of Gina’s physical safety. Fortunately, it seems to be something that the court is taking seriously. Gina already had a temporary restraining order in place. The court has extended that protective order through next year, to January 15 of 2020. That is the date on which both parties will return to court, fully divorced, to discuss the domestic violence charges against Matt. Eyewitnesses say that Gina and Matt refused to look at each other while in court. However, as she left the court, Gina is said to have looked emotionally devastated. In contrast, Matt apparently looked relieved. We can only speculate as to what they were thinking and feeling at that time, of course. Perhaps, when we know which property was assigned to whom, we’ll be better able to explain why Gina was so unhappy. View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 14: Everything We Know
