Belcalis dropped her track “Money” today, her first solo release since her “Invasion of Privacy” album. The track is exaaaactly what it sounds like, about money with lines like; “There’s “nothing in the world I like more than checks.” As previously reported it is NOT a Nicki Minaj diss track, and the only semi-hinting towards their beef is a mention about bringing “brass knuckles to the scuffle.” “All y’all b**ches in trouble, Bring brass knuckles to the scuffle,” she raps. “I heard that Cardi went pop. Yeah, I did go pop. That’s me busting they bubble.” Listen to “Money” below. Hate it or love it?!
FREDERIC J. BROWN/AFP/Getty Images Her Family Releases A Statement Detailing The Incident On Monday night, a University of Utah student was shot and killed allegedly by an ex who lied about his criminal past. Lauren McCluskey , an accomplished track-and-field athlete, was found dead in a parked car near a campus residential hall, according to ESPN . Mark Harlan, the University of Utah director of athletics, released a statement on Twitter about McCluskey’s death. “This news has shaken not only myself but our entire University of Utah athletics family to its core,” he said. “We have university counselors and psychologists on standby to support Lauren’s teammates, coaches and friends. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and all of those dear to her.” McCluskey’s killer was suspected to be Melvin Rowland, who was found dead in a church in Salt Lake City on Tuesday from a self-inflicted gun wound, according to a KUTV reporter . According to KUTV , McCluskey’s parents released a statement sharing the details around their daughter’s death. According to them, Rowland was an ex-boyfriend who harassed McCluskey after she found out about his criminal past: “He lied to her about his name, his age and his criminal history,” the family statement read. “Lauren was informed by a friend about his criminal history, and she ended the relationship with her killer on Oct. 9, 2018. He had borrowed her car, and she requested for the University of Utah police accompany her on Oct. 10, 2018 to get the car back. She blocked his and his friends’ phone numbers and complained to University of Utah police that she was being harassed. Last night a little before 9 p.m., she was returning to her university apartment from her night class and talking to me on the phone. Suddenly, I heard her yell, “No, no, no!” I thought she might have been in a car accident. That was the last I heard from her. My husband called 911. I kept the line open and in a few minutes, a young woman picked up the phone and said all of Lauren’s things were on the ground.” According to ESPN , Rowland was a registered sex offender, who was convicted of forcible sexual abuse and enticing a minor. The school decided to honor McCluskey by canceling morning and evening classes on Tuesday. A vigil is also scheduled for Wednesday planned by The Associated Students of the University of Utah and the Athletics Department.
SplashNews.com Justine Skye Reveals She Suffered An Abusive Relationship We have had our eye on Justine Skye for a LONG time and are happy to see that she is finding a real voice for herself and revealing some difficult truths in the process. The singer’s video for her new single “Build” was released at midnight. The clip, which also features Interscope artist Arin Ray, showcases Justine and other young women coping with some pretty ugly situations with young men. Watch it below: Prior to dropping the video Justine posted a few times on Instagram to let fans know it was coming. Then when it dropped she posted a short clip along with a longer caption describing something she recently experienced in her real life. As DV Awareness month comes to an end.. the issue doesn’t just disappear. Recently I’ve had one of the scariest/heart breaking experiences in my life and it’s still hard for me to talk about. I felt stupid, angry, depressed.. blamed myself. Trying to figure out how someone who claimed they loved me so much could find such evil within themselves to hurt me mentally and physically. Learned a lot about the people I chose to call my “friends”.. and about myself. I was one of those people who would be like “No man would ever put their hands on me! .. blah blah blah..” We all think we know what we’d do until it’s happening to you. Now, I’m not looking for sympathy and never thought this would be part of the story I’d be telling of my self.. unfortunately it is, but I won’t let it be what defines me. I had to find the strength within myself and I’m hoping that through this video I can motivate whoever else is going through this or worse, to do the same. You are strong, you are loved and you deserve so much better “Grown-Ish” actor Da’Vinchi who played Justine’s love interest in the video also posted a clip to promote the release of the visualsk, noting that it was “based on a true story” in his caption. These are really important things that we all should be discussing. We hope that Justine has gotten the help she needs to recover from her trauma and that she’ll use her voice to continue to amplify the real issues. Now we’re really looking forward to what this RocNation stunner has in store with her upcoming album!
VH1 Teairra Continues Her Downward Spiral This can’t be life. After a few weeks of feeling bad for Teairra and her having her sex tape leak online, the internet has finally done a total 180 and turned on her. Why? Well, for one she’s decided to stay with Akbar, his alleged harem of sister wives and his alleged photo-leaking policies. Why? Well, according to her, it’s because of how good the D is. SMH. Teairra’s buddy Roccstar tried to get to the bottom of it all and snap some sense into her, but that didn’t work. He tried to confront Akbar himself and they got pulled away by security. So they decided to…*checks notes*…roast each other’s shoes? Yes, they went from fighting to clowning each other’s appearance. What the hell. It was a cluster*** of a show and Twitter was here to drag everyone. Peep the comedy… How can Roccstar tell Akbar to leave Teairra alone when she can’t leave Akbar alone #LHHH pic.twitter.com/kA2keCEGBu — LENA (@_sdm26) October 23, 2018
Spice Reveals Lighter Skin You may know Spice for her his music career or her life full of drama on Love & Hip-Hop but now you’re going to know her as a musician who is now 40,948 shades lighter than she used to be. The new-look Spice has gotten a ton of attention from people calling her out for self-hate. She appears to be just another in a long list of celebrities who bleach their skin for approval. But, wait, there’s more. Spice isn’t just doing this for aesthetic purposes. There’s a deeper meaning. Spice released a song calling out colorism and seems to be making a point that the only way to achieve success is to make her skin lighter. There’s no indication that this is permanent beyond the release of the single and to make social commentary. Spice didn’t bleach. It’s makeup to bring awareness to her song “Black Hypocrisy”… and it worked. — Yardie B (@ShenaeCurry) October 22, 2018 Some were keen on the deeper meaning and others just had jokes for it all. All in all, Spice is getting the attention she wants out of this, it’s just unclear if she’s getting the attention she actually wants. Take a look at the reactions…

Miguel Candela/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Man Robs Subway, Steals Sandwich A Georgia man might’ve made a clean break after robbing a Subway restaurant but his greed for not just money but food took over. The AJC reports that 34-year-old Zachary P. Miller was arrested for robbery by sudden snatching after he entered a local Subway and ordered a sandwich before hopping over the counter and demanding cash. Miller was able to get $100 and was on his way out—-before he turned around to grab his pilfered pile of meat and bread from the establishment. He was arrested Wednesday morning in Knox County, Tennessee. The AJC adds that he has multiple warrants in Tennessee and Georgia. Miller’s ridiculousness gave Charlamagne enough fuel to make him “Donkey Of The Day.” SIGH, was it really worth it Zack???

Photo by Tharaka Basnayaka/NurPhoto via Getty Images He Landed The Aircraft With Sensei-Like Precision If you’re a driver and recall the days when someone was teaching you how to drive, you might remember how nerve-racking it was. But pulling over to the side of the road for a break is nothing compared to landing a plane in the middle of a California highway. According to NBC7 San Diego , a single-engine plane had to make an emergency landing last Friday due to an engine failure mid-flight. The aircraft was piloted by a 36-year-old flight student and a 25-year-old instructor. When the engine started having problems, the student handed over the reigns to the instructor, and they landed the plane right in the middle of Interstate 8 in El Cajon. No cars were hit and no one was injured. “For them to make that landing and have nobody else involved in it, I’d say that’s a miracle,” said California Highway Patrol Officer Travis Garrow. Boss. A couple managed to capture the amazing landing stunt on video, which you can check out here .
