Rubi Rose: He used to be my mans, I had the song since like 2015 then in 2018 we met back up after awhile of not speaking and I told him I wanted to do music and he gave it to me. The song, which was released in September of 2018 hit a million streams on Soundcloud before the end of the year. BOSSIP: How did you end up in the “Bad & Boujee” video? Rubi Rose: There’s a casting director in Atlanta named Akini who’s been a friend [Atlstalent] and he used to hit me every week for a job and I’d always ask if I was gonna be the main girl or only girl in the video, so I turned down a lot of jobs. BEEN BOUJEE. Then he showed me the song “Bad and Boujee,” and I loved it and he told me I’d be the main one so I said ‘Esketit!’ Watch Rose in the video below: BOSSIP: Let’s talk about your new single “Trickin’” — do you think you will have any backlash over the messaging? Rubi Rose: I’m sure there’s people who talk about it but, everyone will always have something negative to say about everything. They hated Jesus — not to say I’m Jesus, but he was supposed to be the nicest person and someone still had beef with him! But ni**as be talking about toting pistols and murdering and degrading women, so me talking about a ni**a spending money on the lady he likes won’t hurt nobody…. Ni**as been giving bread to ladies since the beginning of time… This ain’t nothing new and honestly music is suppose to be fun, not always suppose to be taken seriously, I’m young and having fun with it. BOSSIP: Would you say the expectation is for a pretty woman to be tricked on? Rubi Rose: The real answer is yes. Beauty is monetary money, you don’t see a smoking hot girl with a broke guy. Usually the more smoking hot the girl is, the more wealthy the guy is. Beauty attracts money. Beauty is money. Check out Rubi Rose’s single below: BOSSIP: One last thing — do you really speak four languages? Rubi Rose: English, French, Tigrinya, Spanish — and finesse.

MAGA Moron Pulls Gun On Young Black Cyclists, Calls Them The N-Word During MLK Day Protest [Video]

As most of us celebrated Dr. Martin Luther King’s legacy on Monday, racist white folks were out here trying their hardest to undo his legacy. 51-year-old Mark Allen Bartlett has been arrested and charged with carrying a concealed firearm after video footage showed him waving a gun and spewing racial slurs at young, Black cyclists during the annual “Wheels Up, Guns Down” protest. Miami 7 News reports: A woman is seen visibly upset at the group of bicyclists blocking the roadway. A separate video showed the woman accusing one of the riders of running over her foot. “You just ran over my foot with your tire!” she yelled at one of the riders. Things then escalated when, Miami Police said Mark Allen Bartlett, ran up to the group with a gun. “Get the f*** out of here, you f****** piece of s***,” Bartlett told one of the riders. “You f****** losers.” As Bartlett walked away, he’s heard calling them the N-word three times. After seeing the disturbing video, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez tweeted: I can confirm that the man in the video was arrested. His use of racist comments, especially on MLK Day, and threatening others with a gun will not be tolerated by anyone. Thank you to @MiamiPD and Chief @Jcolina67 . https://t.co/D0xMpmgvTF — Mayor Francis Suarez (@FrancisSuarez) January 22, 2019 Barltett was released from prison the following day. SMH.

Ankh Explanation: Erykah Badu Explains Her R. Kelly Comments, Fans Still Say ‘See You Next Lifetime’

Source: Ethan Miller/BET/Scott Legato / Contributor / Getty Fair or foul??? Erykah Badu Explains R. Kelly Comments Erykah Badu is explaining comments she made during her Chicago concert. As previously reported Erykah got hit with a barrage of ‘boos when she brought up R. Kelly and said that she was “praying for him” before adding that fans weren’t sending “unconditional love” his way. “I’m sending a prayer right now for R,” said Erykah. “I hope he sees the light of day if he’s done all those things that we’ve seen on TV and heard those ladies talk about,” she continued. “I hope he sees the light of day and comes forward.” “But y’all say f— it! That’s not love. That’s not unconditional love. But what if one of the people that was assaulted by R. Kelly grows up to be an offender themselves. We gonna crucify them? How do we do this? Just something to think about.” Now Erykah’s clarifying her comments and standing by saying that she has “unconditional love” and wants “healing” for him. “That doesn’t mean I support your poor choices,” said the soul songstress. I love you. Unconditionally. That doesn’t mean I support your poor choices. I want healing for you and anyone you have hurt as a result of you being hurt. Is that strange to you ? That’s all I’ve ever said. Anything else has been fabricated or taken out of context. – eb — ErykahBadoula (@fatbellybella) January 21, 2019 Despite her explanation, fans still aren’t buying and are wondering in particular why she’s not sending that same love his alleged victims’ way. my problem is that you have a history of blaming lil girls for the male attraction they receive + you speak about the trauma Kelly faced more than you are affirming of the many young Black girls he continues to victimize — MS. BLISS (@ajthe1ne) January 21, 2019 Reducing decades of abuses and violence to poor choices is where you’re misstepping. Responding to such devastating circumstances requires a great amount of discernment and depth. I see where you’re coming from to an extent, not sure why ur loving on him instead of his prey. — Leather (@BeLeather) January 21, 2019 Do YOU agree with Erykah??? Or will YOU be “seeing her next lifetime”?? Source: Jeff Kravitz / Getty
