Exclusive: Michel’le Says She No Longer Has A Relationship With Her Kids’ Fathers Dr. Dre & Suge Knight [VIDEO]

“Unsung” Featuring Michel’le Airs Sunday Night On TV One Michel’le revealed that she has no co-parenting relationship with the hip-hop moguls who she shares two children with. The “Something In My Heart” singer said that she doesn’t speak at all to Dr. Dre, the father of their son Marcel, 27, or Suge Knight , who shares a daughter, Bailei, 16 with her. “I think that’s why we get along!” she told us ahead of her “Unsung” episode premiere June 15. “I don’t have nothing bad to say about them and they don’t have nothing bad to say about me. And I think that’s why it works. My son is 27 and my daughter is 16, so they’re grown and they don’t need me as the middleman.” Michel’le – whose story was laid bare in Lifetime’s 2016 movie “Surviving Compton,” added: “You want your children to have that type of family feeling and bond. I don’t bad mouth them in front of my children. They have their own relationships with their fathers, which is amazing.” She still struggles to reconcile her complex relationship with Dre, the man considered the architect of her early sound and career – who at the same time, was her alleged abuser. However, the hip-hop diva said she refused to be defined by her failed relationships, and hopes that her “Unsung” episode will show viewers and fans that she’s more than her past. “I just wanted to tap back into the music side of it,” she said. “We had good times and bad time, and I just wanted to remind the fans about the music. There’s good music that came out of that era, and I’m appreciative of that.”

Seen On The Scene: Daveed Diggs, Raphael Casal And More Attend “BLINDSPOTTING” Oakland premiere

Daveed Diggs  [Collin],  Rafael Casal  [Miles],  Janina Gavankar  [Val],  Jasmine Cephas Jones  [Ashley],  Ethan Embry  [Officer Molina],  Utkarsh Ambudkar  [Rin], Director  Carlos Lopez Estrada , and Producers  Jess Calder  and  Keith Calder  all walked the red carpet at the Oakland Premiere of  BLINDSPOTTING  at the Grand Lake Theatre on  July 11, 2018 . About BLINDSPOTTING Collin (Daveed Diggs) must make it through his final three days of probation for a chance at a new beginning.  He and his troublemaking childhood best friend, Miles (Rafael Casal), work as movers, and when Collin witnesses a police shooting, the two men’s friendship is tested as they grapple with identity and their changed realities in the rapidly-gentrifying neighborhood they grew up in. Longtime friends and collaborators, Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal co-wrote and star in this timely and wildly entertaining story about friendship and the intersection of race and class set against the backdrop of Oakland.  Bursting with energy, style, and humor, and infused with the spirit of rap, hip hop, and spoken word,  Blindspotting , boldly directed by Carlos López Estrada in his feature film debut, is a provocative hometown love letter that glistens with humanity.

Reawakened Iggy Azalea Boo-Hoos About Her Once Wrecked Confidence — But Are Folks FINALLY Done Slandering Her?

  Photo by Noel Vasquez/Getty Images) Iggy Azalea’s Reemergence Causes Debate It’s been several years since Iffy Iggy Azalea was cancelled in the court of public opinion. With problematic lyrics, identifying herself as a “runaway” slave master and labels like “appropriating” preceding her, she didn’t really blossom into the space she was aiming for in rap music. Now some folks are kinda feeling her  Kream record (it’s charting and streaming higher than whatshername’s single), but is that enough to recant all slander towards Iggy? Here, Iggy explains how much the previous years have taken a toll on her confidence. She says that her self-confidence was knocked and it took years to rebuild. But now she’s back to believing in herself. y’all dragged iggy to filth and totally wrecked her confidence which took her years to rebuild only because she’s a white female rapper but I don’t see the same shit happening to white male rappers when they are 10 times more problematic pic.twitter.com/6Qq69CTU8z — lukas (@lukasperry) July 6, 2018 Aussie tears aside, folks online are split right down the middle on how to handle Iggy moving forward.

Often times, being all those things at once requires a level of sacrifice that can lead to disappointment. For example, yesterday while training to kick her opponents azz in the fourth round of Wimbledon, Serena missed a moment that she desperately wishes she could have back… She took her first steps… I was training and missed it. I cried. — Serena Williams (@serenawilliams) July 7, 2018 The replies to Serena’s posts are filled with consolations and uplifting messages from other moms. Sucks for Serena, but it’s nice to see that everyone on social media isn’t a soulless shell of a human.

OKC Ya Later: It Looks Like Carmelo Anthony Is Already Parting Ways With Oklahoma City

Hannah Foslien/Getty Images Carmelo Anthony Is Parting Ways With The Thunder After only one year with the Oklahoma City Thunder, it looks like Carmelo Anthony  will play for a new team next season. This information comes from a new report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Royce Young. It is not yet known exactly where or how   the Thunder will offload Melo—only that they are definitely planning to move on without him. The team is reportedly exploring three different options: a trade, utilizing the league’s stretch provision, or a combined buyout and stretch. “Anthony’s agent, Leon Rose of CAA Sports, has a strong relationship and history with Thunder general manager Sam Presti, and they’ll work together on Anthony’s exit,” the report says. Melo recently opted into his $27.9 million contract for the 2018-19 season. If the Thunder kept him on the roster, they’d be due for a huge luxury tax bill with a $310 million payroll. As stated in the report, eliminating Melo from the picture could save OKC over $100 million. The report adds that Anthony “would be pursued vigorously among contenders on the free agent market.” Expect the Rockets, Heat, and Lakers to inquire. Melo has close relationships with Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, and LeBron James–which has a lot of people hoping we could see James and Anthony join forces next season. We will most definitely find out where Melo is going soon, so place your bets now.
