Christine Chisholm’s $8 Million Lawsuit Against 2 Chainz Dismissed 2 Chainz scored a legal victory against the woman who said he humiliated her when he branded her a “thot” in an online video. A judge Tuesday granted 2 Chainz’s request to toss Christine Chisholm’s lawsuit, which accused the rapper of defamation, invasion of privacy, emotional distress and unfair or deceptive trade practices for releasing his song “Watch Out,” which she said threatened her life, and to caused her to be harassed in her hometown of Charlotte. Chisholm unsuccessfully sued 2 Chainz in 2015 for leaking a 2014 viral vid of her backstage at his concert under the hastag, #IzThatYoThot, and allegedly threatening her afterwards. But Chisholm said the new suit was based on several instances of harassment, violence and intimidation from the rapper’s goons after he released “Watch Out.” The woman said since 2 Chainz dropped “Watch Out,” his associates brandished a gun at her, tried to run her over and shot up cars that were parked at her family’s home. 2 Chainz argued in court papers that Chisholm didn’t have a leg to stand on in the suit because she’d already sued him – and lost – last year in local courts. The judge agreed, and ruled that Chisholm’s case was a no go because her recent claims were based on what happened during her original “thot” suit, and she should have raised them in that litigation.

For centuries, braids have been making women of color feel powerful. To highlight how braids continues to make Black girls feel magical as well as the history of the intricately expressive hairstyle, Artist Shani Crowe decided to document her relationship with braids at Brooklyn’s Museum Of Contemporary African Disporan Arts (MoCADA).

I was a walking advertisement for myself, and ended up attracting clientele,” Crowe said… [ MadameNoire ] Did You Know?

Sadly, it seems that these days, frighteningly overzealous fans have become an accepted consequence of A-list stardom. The only sliver lining to the dark cloud of obsessive weirdos is the fact that stars have watched one another deal with unwanted attention from creepy admirers for so long that they know it’s something to be taken seriously, and they’re quick to act in their own defense. The latest celeb to find herself at the fearing for her safety in the wake of a terrifying run-in is Kylie Jenner. According to TMZ, an unidentified man drove up to Kylie’s house several weeks ago and began ramming the gate with his car in an effort to get inside. Despite the presence of guards on the scene, the man was able to make a clean getaway. However, Kylie’s nightmare was far from over. The man recently returned and tried to crash through the gates again . Fortunately, this time the guards were able to get his plate number and police arrested the man at his home shortly after the incident. Un fortunately, he was only charged with two counts of misdemeanor vandalism, which means there’s a good possibility he’ll be back on the streets in no time. Coming from one of the country’s most recognizable families, of course, Kylie is no stranger to the pitfalls of fame. As such, she knew that it was time to act quickly. Kylie sold her mansion and immediately put a down payment on a new home. The place is still in Calabasas, but it’s said to be more heavily-protected than her starter mansion. Tabloids were confused as to why she was house hunting less than a year after settling into her first place, and it was initially rumored that Kylie was buying a place for Tyga . It’s nice when a member of the Kardahian-Jenner clan surprises us with how smart and prudent their actions are. Doesn’t happen every day, ya know?
