It’s only right that a video with these 4 takes place in New York, and it begins with Teyana finding a cell phone she didn’t know her boyfriend–portrayed by Ghostface—had. Method Man appears later as Teyana is running out of her apartment, as they meet in her building’s stairwell. The verse from Raekwon (who unfortunately doesn’t appear in the video) arrives last in the song, as Teyana, Ghostface, and Meth appear in a nightclub. Check out Teyana’s latest video below:
As previously reported, things have turned very ugly between Jenni Farley and Roger Mathews. The Jersey Shore star had filed for divorce three months ago, but had then been seen on the town with Mathews a few weeks later and there had been Internet chatter about a reconciliation. Early Friday morning, however, police were called to the home JWOWW still shares with Mathews… took Roger away in a cruiser… and a judge later granted Jenni a restraining order against her estranged husband . How did things get to this point? With details still coming in, we review the situation below and update followers with a strong defense of Jenni by her best friend, Snooki, along with some VERY revealing security footage from Farley's home. Scroll down for the latest… 1. Only Mathews Has Really Commented on What Transpired So Far But, boy, did he comment! The father of two posted several videos on Instagram, lashing out at his estranged wife harder and harder each time. 2. This is What Mathews Says Went Down: JWOWW had to go away for more work and the two got into an argument late Thursday night, December 13 about how much time she spends away from her kids. Roger said he took a bit of “umbrage,” but: “Jenni became completely, uncontrollably emotional like she always does and said she was calling the police.” 3. And Then He Just BLASTED Farley Over and over and over again. For example: “This is the level my ex wife takes it to after telling my kids their dad is a piece of sh-t and she’s sorry she ever had children with him,” Mathews wrote on Instagram. “She gets so emotional and irrational in her anger this is the level she brings it too. Saddest day of my life watching her tell my daughter ‘she is sorry she had children with your daddy’. The truth will come out. The truth will set you free. I will never stop fighting for my kids.” 4. JWOWW is a Faker! Mathews went on and on, blasting his estranged wife as a total selfish phony. 5. She’s Greedy and She Sucks Mathews, and his follows, think Jenni is just about fame and fortune and nothing else. 6. Jenni is Using Our Kids as Pawns! This is what Mathews alleged throughout his multi-video rant. “I’m always there for my children,” he said. “Always. And I’m not allowed to be there for my children anymore because somebody else is so hate filled that they would do that to the father of their children, to a great father to their children. It’s sad, man. It’s just sad.” View Slideshow
Few reality stars have as close a relationship with their fan base as Kailyn Lowry. In addition to starring in Teen Mom 2 , Kail hosts a podcast in which she offers even more details about her personal life, and she’s a popular presence on Twitter. You might say Kail is something of an open book — an apt description, given that Lowry is also a bestselling author . Kail recently published her fourth book, A Letter of Love , and in keeping with her devotion to her fans, she’s been offering autographed copies at a reasonable rate. Unfortunately, it seems some fans who ordered these personalized copies have yet to receive them. Apparently, the problem was that the distributor delivered a shipment to Kail’s house in order for her to sign them, and she was unable to bring the box inside right away. As a result, the books were damaged by the weather, and Kail was unable to ship them out. She explained the situation on Twitter today: “Update on “A Letter Of Love”, I am working with my attorneys to obtain rights to my book so I can have new books printed and sent to those of you who have yet to receive your copies,” Lowry tweeted. “At this time, the publisher does not seem to be issuing refunds or sending out new copies.” She added: “If you are looking to receive a refund from them, I would recommend to dispute the charge with whatever payment method was used to pay. “Contact with the publisher has been very sporadic and I am working as quickly as possible to get this rectified with my attorneys.” For the most part, fans were forgiving, but a few remained upset following Kail’s explanation: “The publisher said they had the books sent to YOU to sign and YOU LEFT THEM OUTSIDE! That’s your fault,” wrote one fan. “YOU said you left them outside How come your not refunding us or having them print more for you? It’s a tough situation, and while the fans anger is understandable, it seems there’s not much Kail can do at the moment. It also seems that she’s deeply upset about the situation. “I think I’m gona eat my feelings & go to sleep,” Lowry tweeted today. Sometimes that’s the only option.

The Los Angeles based blogger made roughly $188,860 after charging almost $500 per student for a 12-week course on how to build an audience on social media. But according to students who took the course, which ran from September to December, Lal’s classes are nothing but a big ‘ol scam. One participant, who chose to remain anonymous, wrote in Medium , “I really did not learn anything of value. I was hoping for actionable tips and advice on how to grow my account. In the original course description Aggie promised: ‘you will learn everything I know about growing my social media account, building a committed caring audience and figuring out a way to make a living while traveling full time.” Anonymous added that Lal began blocking those who didn’t like her course or ones who asked for a refund. But Lal denies all the claims about her being a scammer. She took to Instagram to defend herself and her course, writing, I was heartbroken because this course was my baby, which I’ve been working on since June. Due to some hurdles with my health and WiFi connectivity, 4 out of 66 videos didn’t get uploaded as scheduled last week. I want to sincerely apologize from the bottom of my heart who anyone who feels like what I shared wasn’t enough Thoughts?

Sadly, a 60-year-old white man holds the keys to her liberation, literally. According to CNN , Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam is in the process of deciding whether or not to grant Cyntoia clemency for killing a man who solicited her for prostitution back in 2004. This case has struck a chord with millions of people on social media and celebs like Rihanna and Kim Kardashian. The system has failed. It’s heart breaking to see a young girl sex trafficked then when she has the courage to fight back is jailed for life! We have to do better & do what’s right. I’ve called my attorneys yesterday to see what can be done to fix this. #FreeCyntoiaBrown pic.twitter.com/73y26mLp7u — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) November 21, 2017 When asked about Cyntoia’s case by a Black Lives Matter activist at an event this past Monday, Haslam replied: “We are in the midst of reviewing Cyntoia’s case,” Haslam said at an event Monday night, responding to a local Black Lives Matter activist who asked about clemency for Brown. “We’ll hopefully have a decision — I’m just here for six more weeks, so it’ll be before that,” Haslam said, according to a video of the event posted online by The Tennessean newspaper. “But we’re doing our best to review every aspect of that, talking to everybody involved, just like we are with several other — I wouldn’t say exactly similar cases — but somewhat similar cases.” BOSSIP fam, we ask that you flood Gov. Haslam’s office with letters, tweets, Facebook messages, carrier pigeons, smoke signals, flying banners, and any form of legal communication you can manage to send him the message that clemency is the right thing to do.

The O’Neals announced last September that Shareef’s doctors discovered a major heart issue that would require surgery , causing him to have to sit out his Freshman year with the team.

As she shared with her Instagram followers: This morning was by far my toughest moment being a Mom. If only I could take his place today. Could I at least go with him in that operating room and hold his hand. Separating from him as he was wheeled off to surgery was heartbreaking. THATS MY BABY! I don’t care how old, how big, how grown my kids get I still want to protect them. I had no control over any of this. But there is a God, I trust and believe He is in there with my baby right now and has complete control. #prayforreef @shareefoneal #mybaby That has to be a tough moment as a mom. Prayers up for Shareef! Hopefully, he’ll have a speedy recovery and be back at 100% and able to live out his dreams on the court sooner rather than later. Cassy Athena/Getty Images
