Source: VH1 / VH1 Ceaser Fires Sky If you have been watching Black Ink Crew this season then you know that Ceaser has been TRIPPIN trippin. He’s been getting rid of a cast member damn near every episode. Last week he tossed Donna like she was old laundry. This week he went after the one person no on thought he’d cast aside. That’s right, he went after his A1, his ride or die, the peanut butter to his jelly. He went after Sky. Sky was trying to expand her horizons by opening up a fashion store but she didn’t want to tell Ceaser at first. Maybe that’s where she went wrong because when he found out, he overreacted like he’s been doing all season. As a result, he booted Sky. But wasn’t he just swinging on skinny light skinned dudes for her honor a few weeks ago? Word? This was the final straw for Twitter, who has had enough of Ceaser a d his power trips. Take a look at the reactions and see who’s side people are on. The way Ceasar treats people is gonna be the downfall of black ink . You can’t run a business and treat your employees like shit and expect them to stay . #BlackInkCrew — Jasmine King (@PinkLemxnadee) November 15, 2018 https://twitter.com/MsSMoss/status/1062918415533441024 https://twitter.com/Beautybrainss/status/1062910941107494912 https://twitter.com/The_SonieSideup/status/1062918783420035072 https://twitter.com/IamNajm9/status/1062918541089955840 https://twitter.com/__jaybay__/status/1062920910422896641 https://twitter.com/Hawtlyrics/status/1062907907786883072 https://twitter.com/__jaybay__/status/1062915772433993729 https://twitter.com/shonnia21/status/1062906240404205568 https://twitter.com/Octavia51391041/status/1062909922411712514 https://twitter.com/goofygurl4u/status/1062909963448786944 https://twitter.com/tnt868/status/1062918718374719488 https://twitter.com/Natasha19791979/status/1062911830312529920 Ceaser gotta understand that tattooing is HIS dream not Sky’s dream!

Photo by Tim Mosenfelder/Getty Images Chief Keef Is Catching A Huge Break After Felony DUI Charge Chief Keef is a lucky man, and he’s proving exactly that by dodging another jail bid. On Tuesday, TMZ reported that the Chicago rapper caught a serious break after his felony DUI charge, which he got when police pulled him over in his green Lamborghini driving through Miami. The DUI charge has been knocked down to a reckless driving charge after Keef pleaded no contest in the year-long legal battle. Keef has now been sentenced to six months of probation, and he’s also been ordered to submit at least 50 hours of community service–which is obviously a huge improvement from being behind bars. Even though Sosa got lucky in the case of avoiding a DUI charge, his legal trouble doesn’t quite stop there. Just last month, a Second Circuit Court judge in South Dakota denied a motion to dismiss a drug charge the rapper is still facing after his June 2017 arrest. In that particular instance, Keef was charged with marijuana possession of between two ounces and a half-pound along with possession of drug paraphernalia after Sioux Falls security reportedly found drugs in his carry-on bag. For his Sioux Falls case, Chief Keef’s legal team argued that the THC-infused edibles he was carrying are not considered marijuana under South Dakota law, because they contained no plant material. Unfortunately for Keef, though, the judge didn’t quite buy the excuse. Keef is absolutely no stranger to legal troubles, and the latest chapter of his never-ending legal saga comes just a couple of weeks after the release of the rapper’s Back From The Dead 3 mixtape. Hopefully for his fans, Keef will be able to stay clear of any trouble while touring and performing all of his new music around the world.

Fortunata/Splash News/Theo Wargo/Getty Images for NBC Mo’Nique Defends Roseanne Barr From Racist Accusations Yet Again In an interview with the Chicago Tribune , Mo’Nique TRIPLED down on her fervent support of Trump supporter, racist tweeter, and Nazi cookie lover Roseanne Barr. Despite the fact that Roseanne literally never speaks on Mo’Nique or her personal causes in any interview she ever gives, Mo felt it necessary to throw her support and defense behind the disgraced comedienne once again. When talking about her former nightly talk show on BET, Mo’Nique broached the topic of her “sister in comedy” and explained that she could never turn her back on Roseanne, claiming that she didn’t hesitate to appear on the show while many Black entertainers declined because her show was “too black.” And when she showed up, when the cameras weren’t rolling, she said to me: “Listen, you’re the real deal. Don’t let them use you up and take advantage of you, because they will. Don’t you let them do that to you.” Now, a racist woman ain’t gonna say that to me. Q: But her tweets were blatantly racist. A: I’m gonna say this: We’re comedians. And I know her. And what she thought was funny, as a comedian, that’s what it was. The interviewer then challenged her on the way she was quick to chastise Charlamagne for “spreading poison” during her now-infamous Breakfast Club interview …but doesn’t seem to want to condemn something as poisonous as racist ‘jokes’ that fall flat. To this, Mo’Nique responded: A: When we talked privately — and we’ve talked privately a lot — she’ll break her jokes down and I’ll know where they’re coming from. She’s like, “Listen, you know how I grew up, so how could I start making fun of anybody? I’m not trying to hurt anybody.”. Has she ever said, “Kill black people”? Q: I don’t think that’s the line someone has to cross in order for their words to be racist. A: And I can’t argue with what you’re saying — I can’t, baby! But here’s what I know about this woman: She was behind the scenes fighting for the black (concert) promoters. Nobody knows that. She’s behind the scenes trying to push a documentary about Malcolm X with a brother who’s a Muslim. So when I know about this these things personally, did my sista say some things in poor taste? Some people could say yes. But what I won’t label her is a racist. When she sends me a DM that says, “My love, we will rise again like the Phoenix” — a racist woman wouldn’t do that, would she? Hm…we certainly didn’t see Roseanne picking up her sword and shield for Mo’Nique when she was on her “pay me more as a Black female comedian” tour against Netflix …but hey, she’s keeping her same energy in defense of her “sister.” Do you think she has a point?

Kehlani Talks Queerness And Motherhood With Nylon Kehlani shocked her fans and the industry when she popped up pregnant about a month ago . The singer has received all sorts of head-scratches and commentary since then, largely because her sexuality has been so publicly fluid…and nobody even realized she had a man at the time. As Kehlani covers this month’s issue of NYLON Magazine (alongside a spread she did just one day before announcing her pregnancy with no one on set even realizing she was knocked up), she gets into all the energy she’s received surrounding her romantic interests and taps into the excitement of new motherhood. I’ve gotten everything from “I thought she was a lesbian” to “she was using queerness to promote her career, then went and betrayed us with a man” to “her baby father is just a sperm donor.” One, I never identified as a lesbian. I’ve always been pansexual. My first mixtape included songs about males, and songs about women. My first album had songs about a nonbinary ex, an intersex ex, and male/female exes. I don’t always make it a point to identify pronouns in the music because that isn’t the focal point. I think what steered everyone in the direction of categorizing my sexuality (which is still really narrow-minded) was my song “Honey,” and a couple of the features I’d done after. Although she doesn’t want to define her sexuality in any concrete terms to make others comfortable, she’s VERY clear on what motherhood means to her and what it should mean for other young people pursuing parenthood. My overall dreams and goals for my life are to love to the highest limits one can experience love. The highest forms of happiness, and graciousness. I believe creating life is one of the highest forms of love! I’m accomplishing one of my biggest goals as we speak. Make sure this is what you want for unselfish reasons. It’s unfair to bring a child in the world with the burden and unspoken task of mending you, a relationship, or improving your happiness. Although a child will usually naturally bring a deeper meaning of happiness into your life, that isn’t the sole reason for that child’s existence. This is about them. She’s also a big proponent for all-natural birth. Given the plight Black women face when dealing with medical professionals , she believes it’s important to take control of your own childbirth process. People, especially black women, are dying at very high rates from hospital complications and medical malpractice (or just f*cking blatant racism). People have been giving birth naturally for ages, obviously, way before hospitals existed. Way before machinery, way before all these procedures. Your uterus, and vagina, are built and designed for birth. You deserve to be in charge of your birth, to be comfortable and listened to, not rushed or prodded at. You deserve to feel 100 percent at peace with full support, in the driver’s seat and not the backseat. This is your body, your baby, your ceremony. Kehlani certainly sounds assured about her path as a mother. Do you agree with her stance on all natural birth? Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic/Natt Lim/Getty Images for Coachella
