Source: Prince Williams / Getty Shays’ Wig Is The LHHMIA Drama If you recall, the biggest story of Love & Hip-Hop: Miami last year besides Amara La Negra was the status of Shay’s wig . She got continuously dragged for the dusty crustiness of her wig situation. Now, she’s vowed to fix it…but the results are mixed. One thing is certain: her wig at least looks better than new nemesis Joy, who she is fighting Pleasure P over. Still, is her wig an ashy mess or is it revived like a synthetic Lazarus? Shay is pretty but the wig gotta go #LHHMIA pic.twitter.com/fPgktzRfSg — Kat (@Katheri51833189) January 17, 2019 Let Twitter tell it…

Gibson, is the head of Progressive Baptist Church in Brownsville, is accused of raping his own daughter between 2013 and 2017 when she visited on the weekends, police sources confirmed with The New York Post . The girl, now 14, kept quiet about what was happening — but recently told her brother, who is her legal guardian. He immediately went to police. The teen told police that Gibson would abuse her in various rooms inside the church. Gibson, 44, was arrested last Thursday around 5:50 p.m. at an East New York homeless shelter at Forbell Street and Conduit Boulevard where he’d been living. Gibson is charged with sexual abuse of a child, incest and child endangerment. He is being held on $10,000 bail with another court date on Tuesday. According to Myia Maples , the wife of the alleged victim’s brother, Gibson had been working in the church as a bishop. In a now viral Facebook post, the unsettled wife came to tears, asking for help from viewers. She says she wants the church to be shut down and treated as a crime scene. Myia also says that for years, after the victim’s mother died, her husband has been going through the court system to get the father’s rights revoked after they both suspected him of physically abusing the teen. She says the news of the alleged abuse was shocking. The teen blurted it out one day after confiding in her brother about her dislike for boys at school. She also says she has the father’s confession to the sexual assaults against his daughter on tape. Myia Maples is determined to get the church shut down as they seek justice for the unnamed young woman. So sad.

Today, the folks at OK! spoke to Ronald and he has responded to the news that his daughter wants ALL the litigious smoke. “She is? Suing me? Why would she sue me? It’s my name!” he exclaimed. “She’s never going to sue me — I’ll have to fight it!” It is reported that Ronald and a partner have been using the name to act on Robyn’s behalf without every having permission to do so. “Thing is she doesn’t have the time to deal with all this stuff herself, so it is someone else that will be doing it,” he continued. ”She’s working hard on her album at the moment. I don’t think she’d sue me.” He goes on to say: “This is all news to me. They sent something to Fenty Entertainment, it was a letter from Roc Nation I think, but my lawyer said it was OK. They said they preferred me not to use the name, but they didn’t say I couldn’t.” Sounds like those lawyers were trying to use gentle language with Ronald as a warning out of respect for his role as Rihanna’s father, but, uh…Roc nation ain’t going for anything that will tarnish Rih’s shine. Including daddy dearest.
Dang Safaree! How are you going to do Erica like that? #LHHNY pic.twitter.com/5TTOybv4DF — Love & Hip Hop (@loveandhiphop) January 15, 2019 Safaree Clowns Erica Mena It’s always wild watching months-old clips from reality TV knowing all the news that transpires since. For instance: since Love & Hip-Hop: New York stopped filming, Safaree and Erica Mena have sparked a romance that has them apparently heading to the altar any day now. However, back when the show as still going on, that love affair was nothing more than a fantasy deep down in Safaree’s copious loins. So when the above clip of Safaree making fun of Erica’s singing aired, it got awkward really fast on Twitter and the jokes were flying.

Source: Jerod Harris/Getty Images / Getty Vince Staples Talks Lifelong Sobriety While the average rapper is out here xan’ed up and leaned out… Vince Staples is among the rare young artists who is completely passing on the liquor and drugs. The Compton rapper spoke about his sobriety in a new GQ article about drug-free musicians, and revealed that he’s been sober his entire life. That’s right…he’s never popped a pill, hit a blunt, sipped on lean or even had a single drop to drink. “It’s not something that I honestly ever think about. I just never wanted to. I’m not the kind of person that will do something that I don’t want to do.” While it seems like something inconsequential to him — he’s just plain not interested in alcohol or drugs — he gets why it’s some grand shocking revelation to most people that take one look at him as a young Black rapper from Compton and make assumptions: “They don’t expect this from a young black musician my age from where I come from. Like, how could you end up being in the ghetto, went through this, went through that, and not experienced drugs, not experienced alcohol?” However, he admits that the very same things about him that would make people assume he’d partake in recreational drug use are the exact reasons he has no interest: “When you’re surrounded with death and dismay and poverty and all these things that happen every day, I didn’t have time to worry about using or partaking in certain things. People where I come from don’t use drugs in a recreational sense. We’re not at a party, or at the rock show, or at the rap show, doing lines in the bathroom. Where I come from, life comes day after day after day, and people use these things to cope.” He says the immediate threats of death and violence in his life superseded any interest he could have ever had in spending the day chasing a high. “When you have to think about your next 15 minutes—you have to think about the walk to the store, you have to think about how you’re getting to school, you have to think about the bus ride home, you have to think about how you’re going to sneak a gun into the football game—the last thing I was thinking about was getting high.” Good for him for staying true to his inclinations and not falling into the industry BS of drug consumption.
