Rising R&B powerhouse Maycee unveiled her Indecisive EP last November and it came packed with six tracks that showcased just exactly what she is capable of. The finished product delivered plenty of gems and today Maycee returns to provide the official music video for “Faded” featuring the Washington, D.C. based rapper and Capitol/Motown signee Chaz French. Now with proper visuals, the jazz-infused “Faded” — an ode to a toxic relationship that only seems to work under the influence — comes to life as the visuals paint a picture of a relationship that most have encountered at one point or another in their lives.

Tavis Smiley Sues PBS For Firing Him Tavis Smiley is swinging back at PBS after they canned him and cancelled his 14-year-run talk show over multiple instances of sexual misconduct. The talk show host has filed a lawsuit against the network, claiming that the allegations against him were “trumped up” in an attempt to push him out for other reasons. If you’ll recall, Smiley was suspended from the network back in December. He almost immediately he admitted to having multiple sexual relationships with some of his female subordinates, sometimes even telling them in the interview process that he’d much rather date them than hire them…but still somehow defended his actions as not at all creepy or inappropriate . Either way, he was officially fired before the beginning of the new year. However, in his lawsuit, he claims that all his in-office booty-chasing had nothing to do with the “real” reason he was canned by the network. According to TMZ , Smiley claims in a new lawsuit that there was always racial tension at PBS. He says network bigwigs routinely: “…hassled Mr. Smiley when he had African American guests who espoused controversial positions and effectively tried to stop any such guests from appearing.” Meanwhile, PBS says this whole thing is a pathetic attempt to distract the public from the revelation of Tavis’ nastiness, and it’s absolutely “ridiculous and false” to claim that their decision was based on anything else. We’ll see how far this suit goes. Bottom line…you generally can’t smash half the office and think it will all be okay forever. Splash/Getty

Jordan and Lupita Nyong’o during the press run for Ryan Coogler’s record-breaking Marvel film, Black Panther . Later in that night, MBJ pressed send on this tweet that had the TL on FIRE, “burn it all!” And if that wasn’t bad enough, Lupita’s response… Well, as it turns out, some of the Black Panther cast is taping an episode of MTV’s “Safe Word” tonight and things must have gone completely of the vibranium-fuel rails. Especially if Tiffany Haddish’s Instagram video is any indication. The reactions to the tweets are priceless! Flip it few times.
Dennis Van Time/Future Image/WENN/IanWilson/WENN Trump Attacks Oprah Over “60 Minutes” Segment The crazy Cheetoh in the White House has had another Twitter temper tantrum , this time directed at Oprah Winfrey. Just watched a very insecure Oprah Winfrey, who at one point I knew very well, interview a panel of people on 60 Minutes. The questions were biased and slanted, the facts incorrect. Hope Oprah runs so she can be exposed and defeated just like all of the others! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 19, 2018 ‘Just watched a very insecure Oprah Winfrey, who at one point I knew very well, interview a panel of people on 60 Minutes,’ Trump tweeted late Sunday. ‘The questions were biased and slanted, the facts incorrect. Hope Oprah runs so she can be exposed and defeated just like all of the others!’ The man is nuts. It’s pretty hard to make a case for Oprah being biased as the “60 Minutes” panel featured seven Michigan voters who voted in favor of Trump and another seven who voted against him. And if Trump WAS watching he’d know Oprah said she wouldn’t be running because she addressed that as well. Watch her discuss below: Do you think he’ll ever stop tweeting erratically?

Stock Image by Getty Snow Tickets In South Chicago Hoods Are Staggering In Comparison To Wealthier Areas Data says the Chicago Police are issuing disproportionate amounts of snow tickets in the Black neighborhood of Englewood where a fist full of complaints to 311 are usual made about snowy sidewalks. In Northern, wealthier neighborhoods in city, where hundreds more complaints are being made, they are seeing fewer tickets. How is that even so?? According to WBEZ Chicago PD is abusing something called the “2 inch rule” in neighborhoods like Englewood. This rule says that if it snows over 2 inches, you can’t stay parked on a main street. But, according to a Chicago Police Department directive , cops aren’t supposed to issue “2-inch rule” tickets unless city officials declare weather severe enough for “phase two” of the official snow plan to kick in. These cops are just giving tickets without official word of SEVERE weather and poor folks are eating it. Other findings show that these poorer ‘hoods get more tikets for failure to shovel sidewalks. The CPD have yet to comment of the unequivocal amounts of snow tickets being issued around the city.
