Evelyn Lozada Responds To Rob Kardashian Dating Rumors Basketball Wives has only been back on air for three episodes, and it didn’t take long for Evelyn Lozada to have some off-air drama of her own. The reality star stopped by The Breakfast Club on Thursday and dished on that suspicious Twitter exchange between her Rob Kardashian earlier this week. “I have never seen his sausage,” Evelyn clarified, referring to the tweets. “It just really started off as a bet. Like, I was dared and I take dares seriously. I’m like, ‘Don’t dare me ’cause I’ll tweet something crazy.’” The dare came about when Evelyn wished Rob—who she calls an “amazing father” to Dream Kardashian—a Happy Father’s Day over the weekend. “I said, ‘Happy Father’s Day big dick Rob,’” Evelyn revealed. “And he was like, ‘Oh, thank you! I bet you won’t say that to the world.’ I said, ‘Don’t play with me, ’cause I would.’ And he said, ‘No you won’t.’” She added, “So it was really just…I took a bet too serious.” Evelyn also shared the she and Rob—who was also recently getting flirty with Natti Natasha—are “cool” but they “never went on a date” prior to their Twitter conversation. “I think Rob is a nice guy, I really, really do,” Evelyn said. “I feel like he has potential for greatness and I hope he really keeps kicking ass in the gym, because I think he’s a nice looking man.” She then confirmed, “I would go on a date with Rob.” Whew, sounds like drama. Watch the full video above to see what else Ms. Lozada had to spill, er, share.
Black Woman Named Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck Earns PhD Yes, you read all of that correctly . According to the Journal Sentinel , a Black woman with an unusual name has overcome a lifetime of haters and downtalkers to earn her doctorate degree. 46-year-old Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck, DOCTOR Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck, graduated from Cardinal Stritch University in Wisconsin last month. She says she absolutely refused to change her given name in order to show people that you can overcome things that people say will hold you back. Teachers, classmates, bosses and even some friends refused to call her by her name and tried to opt-out for “Mary”. She wasn’t having it. Those criticisms even inspired Marijuana to title her dissertation: “Black names in white classrooms: Teacher behaviors and student perceptions.” Her mother, Maggie (Brandy) Johnson, who still lives in Beloit, picked out her name and proclaimed that it would take her around the world. Her sisters, one older and one younger, got relatively common names, Kimberly and Robin. When asked about her thoughts on the legalization of her namesake she says: “My main concern are the individuals serving time for marijuana-related offenses. I would like to see all their sentences overturned. These people were locked up for making money from the sale of marijuana, and now that the government has figured out ways to make the money themselves, it is ‘legal’ and, further, encouraged.” For the record, Marijuana says she’s never smoked and doesn’t drink Pepsi. “I feel great. I party with drunk people; you can’t tell us apart.” She also doesn’t drink Pepsi or other soda except for an occasional fruity soft drink in an ice cream float. God bless the good sis. Put some respect on her name, not a Swisher Sweet!
