Source: The Washington Post / Getty Robert F. Smith Pays Off Student Loans For Every Morehouse Graduate Blessings rained down upon the men of Morehouse College ‘s 2019 graduating class yesterday and the story is incredible. According to the AJC , billionaire Robert F. Smith, chairman and CEO of Vista Equity Partners, gave the HBCU’s commencement speech yesterday and during his remarks he dropped a bomb that sent the entire audience into a whooping, cheering, screaming fit. Smith announced that he was paying off the student loan debt for every single person wearing a cap and gown. Everyone. All 396 students. The gift is estimated to be worth upwards for $40 million. Not only were the graduates happy, but their parents were THRILLED! Tonga Releford, whose son Charles Releford III is a member of the Class of 2019, estimates that his student loans are about $70,000. “I feel like it’s Mother’s Day all over again,” she said. Can you imagine getting this kind of financial relief on the day you get your degree??? Elijah Dormeus, a business administration major, said, “If I could do a backflip, I would. I am deeply ecstatic.”A resident of Harlem in New York City, Dormeus, 22, was carrying $90,000 in student debt. His five siblings all came to Atlanta to see him graduate, along with his mother, Andrea Dormeus, who drives a schoolbus. Of the debt, mother Dormeus said, “I wasn’t too worried, because my faith in God is really strong.” A Morehouse spokesperson said that this is easily the biggest gift that has ever been given in school history. We’ll be pleasantly surprised if anyone breaks Robert Smith’s record. God bless this brotha and congratulations to the men of Morehouse ’19!
Did you think that the drama from the beauty YouTuber community was slowing down? If so, well … sorry, sister. The drama between Tati Westbrook and James Charles isn't slowing down anytime soon — in fact, thanks to a new video James posted yesterday, it's getting more insane than ever. But to get where we're going, let's take a brief look back at where we've been, OK? All of this started, if you can believe it, because of vitamins. James and Tati have been friends for a couple of years now, with Tati mentoring him and helping him develop his career as an influencer. And that's why she was hurt that instead of promoting her own brand of vitamins, he did a sponsored post for Sugar Bear Hair, her main competitor, after they helped him out with some security at Coachella. She cried about the whole thing on Instagram Live, but as it turns out, she was crying about more than just the vitamins, and we found out all about it when she posted a 43-minute long video titled “Bye, Sister” all about James . Tati said so, so much in that video — that she was hurt that he'd promote her competitor and that he didn't even give her a heads up about it before the post went live. She said that he released a public apology without ever reaching out to her, which she thought was disrespectful, considering how close they were. But then the video stopped being about vitamins and started being about James' behavior in general, which Tati said was not good. He's mentioned in several videos of his own that he's only interested in straight guys, and it's always been sort of a joke, but Tati claimed that he was actually manipulative towards the straight men he developed interest in. She told one story about how she went out with him and several other friends and family for a birthday dinner for her in February, and he made several lewd remarks about their waiter. When she told him the waiter was straight, she claimed he responded with “It doesn't matter, I'm a celebrity.” She went off about how not OK that kind of thinking was, and how wrong it is to try to maniulate someone else's sexuality, and that's been the point that most people have focused on. After Tati's video went up, James went on to lose over three million subscribers . He made a brief apology video, saying that he was sorry for how things happened with Tati and that he understood how upset she was, and he admitted that he definitely had some things he needed to work on when it came to romantic relationships. And just on Friday, Tati made another video about how she never meant for James to get such backlash for the things she said. It's been a lot to keep up with, and if you're just now trying to catch up … good luck. But yesterday, James uploaded a new video he titled “No More Lies.” And now things are juicier than ever. James kicks off his video by saying that he still stands by his previous video about Tati, and that now he's not looking for sympathy or forgiveness, that he just wants people to hear his side of the story. He then begins at the beginning, with Coachella and the Sugar Bear Hair deal, and he shares several texts showing that he was telling the truth — that he got swamped by fans and the vitamin company was able to help him out with security in exchange for a sponsored post on his Instagram. He also shows texts that he exchanged with Tati showing that he did give her a heads up about the post, and says that while she was upset, he was contractually obligated to promote the other vitamins. Next, James says that he never even told Tati that he wouldn't promote her vitamin brand on his channel, and even showed clips from older videos and social media posts where he told his audience about her product. Moving on to the subject of men, he straight up admits that he's a virgin, and he insists that he would never use his fame to get hookups. “That is disgusting,” he says, “it is not me, and the fact that Tati brought this up blows my mind because she knows the real story.” He goes into the story about the waiter at the restaurant for Tati's birthday dinner, and his version is very different than hers. According to James, he discussed the waiter with Jeffree Star, who was also in attendance (more on him in just a bit), but the conversation never got “inappropriate.” As for his alleged remark about how he could convince the waiter to get with him because he's a celebrity, he says that never happened. What happened was that he called himself “famous,” which is apparently an inside joke in his friend group, just another way of saying something is really good. He shares numerous texts between numerous people using the word in that way — even texts with Tati. You really just need to watch the video for him to explain the whole situation with the waiter, but he does show texts from him in which he tells James directly that he's bisexual. Later, James admits that because he began developing his career at such an early age, he's pretty immature when it comes to relationships. “Love and relationships is something that I have barely any experience in,” he says, “and I honestly think that's why I'm a lot less mature than others may be in the situations I get myself into.” He says he's working on this, and that he's been apologizing to any men he may have been too forward with, but he maintains that he's never done anything as sinister as people think. We can't really recap everything he says in the video, but a big part of it is about Jeffree Star. Jeffree was friends with both James and Tati, and he pretty much inserted himself into all this drama. After Tati's original video, Jeffree tweeted that he agreed with everything she said, and added that James was “a danger to society.” In this video now, James took the opportunity to share several texts from Jeffree, which are disturbing, to say the least. In one, he calls James a “sick motherf-cker,” then writes “You need to be locked in prison for a long time. You need the internet taken away from you. You are a danger to society.” Jeffree also tweeted James' 17-year-old brother to “shut the f-ck up” and told him that in supporting his brother, he was supporting a pedophile. No matter how you feel about James Charles, a 33-year-old man taunting a 19-year-old, calling him a “sick motherf-cker” … that's too far, right? We'll wrap things up now, but honestly, we don't know who to believe here. Did James fake all those text messages? Was Tati trying to stir up some drama because of the vitamins? At this point, we can't say. But we can say that this entire thing is far from over. Check out James' full video below:

Source: CBS Photo Archive / Getty MusiCares Reveals The Mac Miller Legacy Fund The Mac Miller Legacy Fund has officially been launched by MusiCares, and will set out to help young people who are struggling with substance abuse, according to their website. MusiCares, which was created by the Recording Academy back in 1993, announced the non-profit on Thursday in Los Angeles during its annual MusiCares Concert for Recovery. Mac Miller’s very close friend Vince Staples was in attendance to reveal the news during a tribute to the late musician. The Mac Miller Fund—which was founded at the Pittsburgh Foundation by the rapper’s family—will grant $50,000 to help establish the MusiCares Mac Miller Legacy Fund. The site also shares that the legacy fund “is dedicated to helping members of the music community age 27 and under who are facing addiction.” The Mac Miller Fund currently has assets of nearly $1 million, which has been accumulated from donations via the Mac Miller: A Celebration of Life concert that took place last October, along with some contributions from the public. Mac’s family issued a statement after the MusiCares’ announcement saying the following: “These grants celebrate Malcolm’s life and legacy by funding two respected organizations that provide opportunities for young people to realize their talents and potential. It’s critically important to our family to fund a safety net for artists and musicians who are struggling with substance addiction. No life should be cut short for lack of expert help.”

According to T-Boz, she’s declined FOUR times: “I did [a cameo] for Kandi [Burruss] one time,” said T-Boz. “This is the thing, I don’t play like that. Like, I’m not arguing, I’m too old to be arguing and first of all, I don’t argue with nobody I don’t care about. If I care about you, I will take the time to do this. But I’m not arguing with no grown women. I’ll end up going to jail for real. Like, I don’t do that.” “And I wouldn’t be able to bail her out because I would be right there with her,” Chilli joked.

Kody Brown and his four wives Meri, Janelle, Robyn and Christine have been famous for nearly a decade now. And, of course, polygamy was – and remains – the unorthodox family's entire claim to fame. Yes, believe it or not, it's been nine years since Sister Wives first premiered on TLC. Since then, we've gotten to know Kody, Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn pretty well. Well enough that it's not exactly a surprise what Kody seems to be doing these days in regards to the ladies … 1. Oh, Kody … OK, so pretty much since the very first episode of Sister Wives, it’s seemed like Kody Brown is in the middle of one great big long mid-life crisis. 2. Kody, Kody, Kody And as time goes on, it only gets worse. 3. Klassic Kody In the first season of the show, we saw Kody living in one big home in Utah with his first three wives, Meri, Janelle, and Christine, and all their kids. He drove a tiny little sports car, because that made sense. 4. Hey, Robyn! That first season was all about introducing Robyn, a woman he’d been courting, to the family, and there was definitely plenty of drama surrounding his decision. 5. The Fourth Wife See, Kody and Meri got married when they were very young, and he married Janelle and then Christine not long after. They’re all about the same age, and they’d been a family unit for years and years when Robyn, a much younger woman, entered the picture. 6. Tough Times They liked her just fine as a person, which makes sense, because she’s always been a sweetheart, but it was tough to see Kody act like a schoolboy with a crush around her. View Slideshow
