Joe Budden Sheds A Couple Tears On Everyday Struggle Styles P and his wife went on The Breakfast Club and discussed in detail his daughter committing suicide, and saddened everyone shedding some tears in the process. On Tuesday’s episode of Everyday Struggle, the group watched the footage of Styles breaking down, and that, in turn, caused Joe Budden to get emotional as well. Budden has been very open and about his struggles with mental illness in the past and in the present, so it’s obvious that this struck a chord with him. Both Joe and Akademiks agree that it’s good to see such “tough” rappers shedding their hard exterior to discuss issues like this, because it can get rid of the stigma and help others going through the same thing. Styles, in the interview, sort of makes it clear that him and his wife blame themselves for not knowing that their daughter was suicidal. Joe goes off of that and emphasizes the fact that you can never really “know” when someone is struggling with a mental illness, and more people need to openly discuss it. Especially in rap.
Beyonce really did give birth to twins a couple months ago. It wasn’t a rumor. There’s no conspiracy here. We even know their names: Sir and Rumi Carter . However, you’d be forgiven if you doubted Beyonce really did squeeze not one but TWO kids out of her womb in June, considering the photos that have surfaced of her since. In snapshot she shared two weeks ago, for instance, the artist is rocking a crop top and showing off a stomach that is already back to being svelte. On Monday night, meanwhile, Beyonce attended sister Solange’s Saint Heron: Wine and Grind party at MASHstudios in Los Angeles. And she got herself fully dressed up for the occasion, rocking the tight, short dress in which she’s pictured above and below. The global superstar didn’t post a caption with these photos on her official website because that’s just not how she ever rolls. But not very much really needs to be said, does it? Can you believe this woman is only a very recent mother of twins?!? Jay Z and Beyonce welcomed their latest kids on June 15. We’ve heard that the stars aren’t getting much sleep these days as a result, but that’s to be expected. And this is what a source tells People Magazine for its latest issue: “Beyonce has been very busy with the newborns, but she’s also been able to relax a bit. It’s helped her that Blue has been such an amazing big sister.” As is the case with many parents who already have a child upon introducing another one or two kids into the household, Bey and Jay made a point to spend a lot of “quality time” with Blue before she became a sibling. They want to make sure she never feels jealous or insecure. However: “There was no need to worry because Blue is great,” says this source. “She takes her job as a big sister very seriously and helps out a lot.” That’s so great to hear! Neither Beyonce nor Jay Z have said much in public over the past several months. They are holed up in a rented Malibu mansion and trying to enjoy this newly-expanded family. As for their oldest daughter? Blue is excited about starting kindergarten,” writes People, adding: “She misses her friends. It will be fun for her to get back to her own life at school. Beyoncé is excited for her too but keeps saying that she can’t believe Blue is starting kindergarten. “She thinks Blue is growing up way too fast!” View Slideshow: Beyonce Wax Figure Sparks Shock, Disdain, Confusion Among Beyhive

Getty Images High School Boys Are Protesting Dress Codes For Their Female Peers On the first day of school in Hollister, California, one high school sent tens of students home for dress-code violations. Many of the female members of the student body were met with surprise when they found themselves being cited for dress code violations for wearing off-the-shoulder stops. Apparently, this code is something that’s been technically banned by the school’s dress code policy for years, but that they claim was only enforced beginning Monday (probably because of the ubiquitous nature of off-the-shoulder tops in fashion today). thank you to everyone who participated today was v successful sbhs can suck it screw the dress code y'all ain't ready for tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/DnyIIk2l2U — chads (@chadya_acosta) August 14, 2017 Dress codes have long been criticized for what many call their sexist nature, saying asking girls not to wear certain things as “distractions” is an onlookers problem and not their own.

XactpiX/Splash News/London ENT Future Responds To Jay Z’s Rap Radar Podcast Future is apparently still none too pleased with some of the bars Jay Z dropped on 4:44. As previously reported Hov was a guest on Elliott Wilson’s Rap Radar podcast and he dropped several gems including a quote about Kanye bringing Beyonce and kids into their beef. He also touched on that “Y’all holdin’ money to your ear, there’s a disconnect, we don’t call that money over here ” line that got Future and Lil Boosie BIG mad. According to Jay, he didn’t tell anyone not to use a “money phone”… “I didn’t even tell people to stop using the money phone,” said Hov. “I didn’t say that. I had to listen again like ‘How is this being misinterpreted?’ because I just said it ain’t money to us. It ain’t. That’s just an honest statement.” and he further explained that the inspo for the song came from himself and his wealthy friends who get money but don’t flaunt it. “That’s some corny s***” he told Elliot Wilson. “Money to us, me and my three friends on the floor at Golden State, not because the seats are expensive but because that’s what we’re doing, you’ve never seen that,” he said. “Or, building brands and pushing it forward. That can’t be the end all, that can’t be our goal, to get money and show it on the Internet. That can’t be our goal.” Future apparently caught wind of Jay’s interview and he had some things to get off his chest. “Same money u get we gettin too,” said the FreeBandz rapper. Same money u get we gettin too…
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for TIME The Smithsonian Will Feature Items From Kaepernick’s National Anthem Protest The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History will feature items relating to Colin Kaepernick’s national anthem protest as part of its Black Lives Matter collection. The museum’s sports curator, Damion Thomas, told USA Today, “The National Museum of African American History and Culture has nearly 40,000 items in our collection. The Colin Kaepernick collection is in line with the museum’s larger collecting efforts to document the varied areas of society that have been impacted by the Black Lives Matter movement.” Edwards told the museum, “I said, ‘Don’t wait 50 years to try to get some memorabilia and so forth on Kaepernick. Let me give you a game jersey, some shoes, a picture. … And it should be put right there alongside Muhammad Ali. He’s this generation’s Ali.’” The National Museum of African American History and Culture, located in Washington, D.C., features an exhibit dedicated to sports that “demonstrates the centrality of African American contributions and challenges to contemporary American culture and politics.”
