Blessed with a world-changing perspective that inspired an entire generation of dreamers, the Los Angeles-bred rapper (who would’ve turned 34 today) brought level-headed gusto to a chaotic industry fueled by clout chasing and negativity. At this point, it’s safe to say Nip was the most respected rapper of his era who inspired fellow artists to pour their hearts and dollars back into the community, promote financial literacy, invest in themselves and flip dreams into lucrative realities. And, for that, he’s a legend who inspired a day of unity, positivity and self-reflection at a critical time in society when we need that pure Nipsey energy just to make it through the day.

90 Day Fiance fans have been going over Azan Tefou’s every action with a fine-toothed comb, trying to figure out just what is the deal with him and Nicole Nafziger. One day, we’re convinced their relationship is finally over , the next day Nicole is posting about when the wedding will take place . Again. In the latest shocking twist on this emotional roller coaster, it seems Azan not only has a secret wife in Morocco, but he also got her pregnant! If true, this would mean Azan has an entirely different family that he’s been hiding from Nicole all this time. Could he really have been stringing her along all this time? Fans everywhere know the answer is “Absolutely!” 90 Day has been following this couple for years, and Nicole has soldiered on through one disappointment after another. At this point it’s painfully obvious to everyone but Nicole that this man does not care about her. Fans have come up with numerous theories about why Azan is still pretending to be invested in this relationship? Is it to get his hands on a marriage visa? Or maybe just for the exposure? Some have even alleged that he just wants Nicole to keep sending money so he can keep his own family afloat. Any of those explanations seem feasible, but this new allegation blows the others out of the water. Azan is supposed to be using Nicole’s money to invest in the couple’s store. But the newest rumors circulating around social media suggest he’s spending the money on his newly pregnant wife. If this is true, it ties in perfectly to the couple’s last big incident, which already had fans fuming, and worrying for Nicole. Viewers will remember that Azan bailed on his planned trip to Grenada with Nicole, in the most shady way possible. He broke the news literally the day before the trip was to take place, well after she had already purchased the tickets and made all the plans. Azan could barely be bothered to even come up with an excuse. He just said there was a “family emergency,” and refused to elaborate. Fans didn’t buy it. Nicole’s mother didn’t buy it. Now it looks like there may have been some truth to Azan’s half-assed excuse. A pregnant wife would certainly qualify as a family emergency. And, it would obviously be the kind of thing he would choose not to go into detail about. Host Shaun Robinson even asked Azan about the Grenada no-show incident during the recent 90 Day Fiance Tell-All special. Azan did not tell all. He simply doubled down on the secrecy, saying it was private, and he couldn’t talk about it. Azan is pretty dodgy every time he’s asked about stuff like this. Even when questioned by his fiance on-air, he says the bare minimum, or just goes silent until she changes the subject. Some of their scenes are just painful to watch as a result. The increasingly shady behavior has fans pouring over old social media posts looking for evidence that will prove his infidelity. The search has turned up several individuals who say they know him and his family in Morocco. They claim Azan is definitely taking Nicole for a ride , and that his whole family is in on it. However true these allegations are, it’s clear that something is amiss with Azan. Even if he’s not cheating, he needs to be honest with Nicole about whaveter is really going on. For her part, Nicole is marching bravely (or blindly) onward in the hopes that the couple can make this work. Despite all the setbacks and warnings from friends, family, and even co-stars, she still believes she and Azan will get their happily ever after. We’re pretty sure this guy is a con-artist. But Nicole is a total sweetheart, and for her sake, we hope we’re wrong! View Slideshow: Nicole Nafziger: DUMPED by Azan When She Ran Out of Cash?
If you follow them on social media, then you’re probably aware that the Duggars get mom-shamed on a daily basis. Jinger Duggar is fairly new to this experience, not only because she waited longer than her sisters to have children, but also because she’s more well-liked than they are. But no one is spared the wrath of the internet’s nastiest trolls, and these days it seems the commenters on Jinger’s page are teeing off on her doubly hard to make up for lost time. Jinger, of course, leads a very different lifestyle than Jill, Jessa, or any of the other Duggar moms of her generation. For one thing, she lives in Los Angeles, instead of Arkansas, a culture shock that likely would’ve killed a lesser Duggar. On top of that, Jinger and her husband seem to occasionally enjoy activities outside the home, even though we’re pretty sure there’s something about the sinfulness of women enjoying themselves in Jim Bob’s version of the Bible. Earlier this week, the Vuolos attended a soccer game in which Jeremy’s former team, the New York Red Bulls, took on the local Los Angeles Football Club. That turned out to be a bit of a scandalous affair, as some fans now believe Jinger plans to let her daughter play sports , which is strictly verboten in the Duggar’s world. But it doesn’t hold a candle to the Duggars’ latest outing, in which they dined on ribs at a place with the awesome name of Ribs Against the Machine. And what did fans take issue with this time? Surprisingly, it doesn’t look like anyone had a problem with the family patronizing a business that’s named for an ultra-liberal rap-rock outfit. But several people were outraged by the fact that Jinger and Jeremy allowed their daughter to feast on delicious barbecued meats. There were several reasons for this, with some worrying that Jinger would choke on a bone. (As though Jinger and Jeremy aren’t smart enough to pull the meat off with their fingers and feed it to her.) Others took issue with … the way rib meat is raised? Is this a thing? “Please think about that animal that was badly beaten in the face then shot, so you could post a picture of your daughter on Instagram eating ribs,” one user wrote. “These religions guide humans to respect all life, not to destroy living beings around us,” added another. Fortunately, this was one of those times when Jinger had more supporters than detractors: “How do you know for certain where and how this restaurant even gets their meat products,” one user responded. “Ribs are amazing! Looks like she enjoyed!” echoed another. You know what, folks, the Duggars may have a lot of controversial religious and political beliefs. But we don’t want to live in a world where everyone can’t agree that ribs are delicious! View Slideshow: Jinger Duggar Shares Adorable Pics of Her “Little Family,” Melts Fans’ Hearts

Source: Rich Fury / Getty Lil Nas X Covers TIME Magazine To say that the Summer belonged to Lil Nas X is an understatement. At just 20 years old, the Georgia rapper went from a unknown Twitter troll, to an extremely well known troll, whose song “Old Town Road” dethroned Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men as the longest-running No. 1 song in history. Now you can’t go anywhere without seeing his face, or hearing that song and it’s many remixes. View this post on Instagram When @lilnasx's debut single “Old Town Road” exploded online early this year and began climbing the charts, industry prognosticators anticipated a quick rise and fall. It’s now the longest-running No. 1 song in history, having occupied the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for 19 weeks. It’s been streamed more than a billion times on @spotify alone. All of this has made “Old Town Road” the defining sound of the year, a slurry, genre-busting interpolation of two quintessential American musical genres: #country and hip-hop. Yet even from his perch, writes Andrew R. Chow, Lil Nas is still an outlier. There aren’t many black stars in country #music; there aren’t many queer stars in #hiphop. There aren’t many queer black stars in American culture, point-blank. The fact that Lil Nas has risen so far and so fast testifies not only to his skill, but also to the erosion of the systems that for generations kept #artists like him on the sidelines. At a time when debates about categorization and identity are ubiquitous, Lil Nas X represents a more unified vision of the future, one in which a young #queer black man can dominate popular #culture by being unapologetically himself. “Everything lined up for this moment to take me to this place,” he says now. “Not to sound self-centered, but it feels like I’m chosen, in a way, to do this stuff.” Read more at the link in bio. Photograph by @kelianne for TIME; animation by @brobeldesign; “Old Town Road” (p) 2019 Columbia Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment A post shared by TIME (@time) on Aug 15, 2019 at 5:08am PDT Lil Nas graced the cover of the latest issue of TIME Magazine and got candid about his meteoric rise to success, and why he was initially hesitant to come out as gay. “I never would have done that if I wasn’t in a way pushed by the universe. In June, I’m seeing Pride flags everywhere and seeing couples holding hands — little stuff like that.” View this post on Instagram When @lilnasx recorded “Old Town Road” last fall, he was hoping it could be his way out of an unhappy life. Born Montero Lamar Hill outside #Atlanta in 1999, Lil Nas grew up poor, living with one parent or another—his mother and father split when he was 6. As he spent most of his teenage years alone, he began to live on the Internet and particularly Twitter, creating #memes that showed his disarming wit and pop-culture savvy. “It was like, I’m able to go viral, but I’m not promoting anything that’s gonna help me,” he says. “Until music came along.” A gifted vocalist since he was a child—his father is a gospel singer—Lil Nas began writing and recording songs in his closet. When, around last Halloween, he stumbled across a banjo-driven beat by the teenage Dutch producer @youngkio, he saw an opportunity to combine trap—a Southern-born #hiphop subgenre propelled by vicious bass and crawling tempos—with #country, which was experiencing a surge of popularity on the Internet. “Because it’s two polar opposites coming together, it’s funny no matter what it is,” he says. For the history of #music, artists like Lil Nas were the exception, writes Andrew R. Chow. Now, by definition, Lil Nas is the rule. Read more at the link in bio. Video by @khomariflashfilms and @alexandra_robson for TIME A post shared by TIME (@time) on Aug 15, 2019 at 8:48am PDT The young artist added that he was taught from a young age that homosexuality “is never going to be OK,” plus, he feared he might lose fans if he shared his truth. But quite the contrary, Lil Nas. His popularity has skyrocketed over the last few month, which is proof that authenticity ultimately wins. Apparently there’s a lot more we didn’t know about the country rap crooner. Check out Lil Nas X’s full interview here .
Source: Noel Vasquez / Getty Rachel Lindsay Spills Some Tea About Her Nights In The Fantasy Suite A few weeks before her wedding, Rachel Lindsay just revealed that her soon-to-be-husband isn’t the only one she slept with during the fantasy suit dates. Interesting timing, don’t you think? Even though she was lucky enough to find love with chiropractor Bryan Abasolo in 2017 on her season of The Bachelorette , it seems like she didn’t know Bryan was the one until after she felt things out with the final three. The 34-year-old appeared on Access’ Gold Cart Confessions with Scott Evans this week, which where she gave some insight into her time on the show. The former Bachelorette revealed for the first time that she slept with two out of the three contestants that made it to the Fantasy Suite dates. Even though Linday did confirm that was her first night sleeping with her fiance Bryan, she didn’t reveal who the other lucky guy was (but the way she cried over her break-up with Peter Kraus, we have a pretty good idea who it might have been). Rachel and Bryan are set to wed later this month, and while they initially opted for a destination wedding with 50 guests, they’ve increased their numbers to 150.
Plastic surgery and Hollywood have always gone hand-in-hand. It makes perfect sense, of course — and it stands to reason that an industry which places such a strong emphasis on youth and appearance would lead lots of folks to go under the knife. Unfortunately, you rarely read articles about a star who got some really great work done. Much more often, someone goes way too far with the nips and tucks and winds up looking like a version of themself that was sketched by a blindfolded artist using his non-dominant hand. The latest victim of this phenomenon is billionaire karaoke judge Simon Cowell. As you can see Cowell, is not looking like himself these days. In fact, he’s not looking like anyone , because human beings don’t look like that. The Cowell Situation was first called to the internet’s attention by comedian Alise Morales. “Someone please stop working and talk to me about what in the living f–k Simon Cowell has done to his face,” she tweeted. And with that, they were off to the races. Instantly the sharpest wits on Twitter were attempting to outdo one another in a contest that brought to mind the time that Renee Zellwegger showed off her new face and everyone freaked out. “His eyes look like his face is slowly eating them,” writer Dave Schilling tweeted. “Please stop tweeting me this picture of the latest thing Simon Cowell has done to himself,” wrote UK comic Limmy. “I used to joke about it, but now I’m just worried. I mean, look. Look at his brow, hanging down like that. He looks like he’s wearing an invisible cap. It’s so f**king sad.” He later added: “I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again. If you get down and you don’t see the point of it all, here’s something that I hope will give you a reason for living. “What will Simon Cowell’s face look like in 10 years from now?” Powerful stuff. But while the internet was yukking it up, Cowell’s fellow 2006 relic Perez Hilton offered a serious evaluation of the photo and Cowell’s unfamiliar visage: “I’m going with: new veneers, fillers in the cheek, Botox in the forehead and a possible eye job too!” In other words, Cowell really went all in, and the renovation did not pay off. We might be inclined to be more sympathetic were it not for the fact that this guy has made a career out of berating and humiliating people,
