Black Hollywood Makes A Statement At The Independent Spirit Awards The Spirit Awards were held on Saturday and they set the tone for all types of Black Excellence sure to be coming our way on Oscar Sunday. We were excited to see Kerry Washington post up for photos with Janelle Monae. Both ladies looking absolutely stunning and gorgeous in every way. Kerry’s hubby Nnamdi Asomugha also made a rare appearance at the event. Taraji P. Henson looked beautiful as always. She’s become such a pro at always showing up looking stunning. We love to see Ruth Negga on a carpet. She did such an amazing job in “Loving.” Relative newcomer Sasha Lane also made a big statement at the awards in her Black Lives Matter jersey. Sasha is the star of “American Honey” which also starred Shia Labeouf Sasha is multi-racial. Her dad is black and mom is part Maori from New Zealand. WENN
Future Not Finished Talking About Ciara, Goes IN On “My Collection” After the legal troubles Future faced following his little Twitter rants about Ciara you would think the rapper wouldn’t want those kind of problems anymore — but apparently Nayvadius is still out here not giving any fawks because his latest release ‘HNDRXX’ features a song called “My Collection” that goes pretty damn hard at his baby mom — and the lyrics seem to be undeniably about her. She told me she was an angel She f**ked two rappers and three singers She got a few athletes on speed dial I’m tryna get the case dismissed before I see trial And these codeine habits ain’t got nothin’ to do with my lil’ child No this codeine ain’t got nothin’ to do with my lil’ child Considering the custody case the pair had over baby Future it seems pretty obvious who he’s talking about. Not to mention Bow Wow and 50 Cent are two rappers. Who are the three singers though? And which athletes are on speed dial. Obviously Russell Wilson, maybe Amare Stoudemire too… Who else though? The lyric appears later in the song as well as Future raps: She told me she was an angel She f**ked two rappers and three singers I’ma keep it genuine and tell the truth to you I got this jawn, she know what to do with me And right now I don’t know what to do with you I don’t wanna sound like I’m bein’ rude with you She caught a red eye, leavin’ L.A I shoulda gave her to the valet And I had to tell her ’bout Miami After she came with no panty The last part of the verse sounds like it’s about somebody else though. Maybe Larsa? What do you think about Future’s messy lyrics? Should he leave Ciara alone? After all she’s now married to someone else with a baby on the way. Or is he entitled to tell his story as he so chooses?
Son Of Boxing Great Muhammad Ali Detained By Immigration Over Muslim Name This is some real bullisht here. If you’re not already disgusted by Trump’s #MuslimBan this should definitely help you put things into perspective. Earlier this month, on Febrauary 7, Muhammad Ali Jr., the son of boxing great Muhammad Ali, and is mother Khalilah Camacho-Ali who was the boxer’s second wife were returning to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport after visiting Jamaica for a Black History Month speaking engagement in Montego Bay when customs officials pulled them aside because of their “Arabic-sounding” names. USA Today reports that the officials let Camacho-Ali go after she showed them a photo of herself and her former husband, but family lawyer Chris Mancini says Ali Jr. was held for almost two hours and repeatedly asked questions about his name including: “Where did you get your name from?” and “Are you Muslim?” After Ali Jr. responded that he is a Muslim, he continued to be barraged with questions about his religion and place of birth — stupid because they had his U.S. passport which lists Philadelphia as his birthplace. “The line of questioning is indicative of profiling and designed to produce answers that corroborate what officials want to hear,” Mancini said. Neither Camacho-Ali nor Ali Jr. have ever been subjected to detainment before, despite extensive global travel experience, he said. “To the Ali family, it’s crystal clear that this is directly linked to Mr. Trump’s efforts to ban Muslims from the United States,” Mancini said, referring to President Trump’s executive order signed Jan. 27 that instituted a ban for citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries. Mancini said he and the Ali family are contemplating filing a federal lawsuit and are currently trying to find out how many other people have been subjected to the same treatment as Ali Jr. “Imagine walking into an airport and being asked about your religion,” he said. “This is classic customs profiling.” Just INSANE!!! The son of a national hero detained over his NAME! In AMERICA! The place of his birth! The saddest detail Mancini added to the story is how Ali Jr.’s mother desperately ran around the airport while he was detained asking “Where’s my son?” and begging for help but local police were unable to intervene. So upsetting. Can you even imagine? SplashNews

Leslie Jones Makes Fun Of White Women Who Go Out Of Their Way To Say BLM If you thought “they” were mad at Leslie Jones before, wait ’til they get a load of what she had to say during her set at Caroline’s in NYC. According to NYTimes : “If I see another 45-year-old white woman from Williamsburg saying ‘black lives matter,’ I’m going to punch you in the mouth,” Ms. Jones said. “Stop doing that.” Racist . @Lesdoggg makes fun of white women supporting #BlackLivesMatter under the guise of “comedy” https://t.co/m5xTSyXKNF via @pagesix — Jewhadi™ (@JewhadiTM) February 25, 2017 Leslie Jones makes fun of white women supporting Black Lives Matter https://t.co/BR2HNyK0Ej via @pagesix BLM WANTS TO HURT THEM, SHES RIGHT — Mari Proud Trump Won (@MarianneHaran) February 25, 2017 Comedian Leslie Jones’ routine threatens white women with violence – it’s okay, she’s a lib https://t.co/G81yoHX3Aa pic.twitter.com/AYpbDMRdhC — michelekirkBPR (@michelekirkBPR) February 25, 2017 Boy, are they angry. She also took a lil’ time to continue to poke fun at herself for her nude photo leak last year: “I actually laughed.” “I was like, they don’t understand how many people I’ve actually tried to show that to,” she added. “You really just helped a sister out. Thank you for the distribution.” However, explaining things to her family wasn’t quite so easy: “Now I got to explain this to my aunties,” said Ms. Jones, 49, a cast member from “Saturday Night Live.” “They old, and they from civil rights. They just now getting computers.” Slipping into the quavering voice of one of these relatives, Ms. Jones said, “She was like, ‘Was it the Klu’s Klux Klan?’” She examined her niece’s anatomy and added, “I didn’t raise you like that.” It’s good to see that Leslie hasn’t let a bunch of 140-character thumb thugs bring her down.
Witches Worldwide Do Collective Spell Against Trump Apparently, practicing witches from all over the world are planning to use their powers of black magic to shut down the Commander in Cheeto later on this evening. According to NYDN , the ritual is supposed to go down at midnight Friday night/Saturday morning. Whatever the witches are doing, it calls for an unflattering photo of president Trump, a tower tarot card, salt, a candle, a feather and either the stub of an orange candle or a baby carrot — we have a decent guess of what that ingredient represents. Now the spell isn’t meant to hurt him. but instead is more of a “binding spell” to keep y’all’s President from doing harm to all of us with his BS policies. And their Even celebs like Lana Del Ray are getting in on the action. At the stroke of midnight Feb 24, March 26, April 24, May 23 ❤️ Ingredients can b found online pic.twitter.com/PsjNpIODZE — Lana Del Rey (@LanaDelRey) February 24, 2017 Who knew she was a witch? Maybe just dabbling for the greater cause, who knows. Either way, every little bit has to help, even if it is some wiccan magic. Pixabay/Getty
Amber Rose Buys Ace Of Diamonds Strip Club Amber Rose’s formal cake-clappin’ days may be behind her…but she still knows how to keep that stripper money coming into her account — and in an even bigger way these days. While accepting an award during Russell Simmons’ All Def Digital Movie Awards, Amber made the announcement that she is the brand new owner of the popular Hollywood shake joint , Ace of Diamonds. You know — the one where Rob and Chyna celebrated their failed engagement this time last year? Amber made sure to dedicate her award to fellow strippers all over and let them know that just because they drop it for dollars now doesn’t mean that their potential is limited to the pole. “Y’all can one day be on stage with Russell Simmons receiving an award, so thank you.” Nice! Good for Amber…people give her a hard time, but she keeps her own checks coming in on the regular. We wonder what kinds of changes she’ll make to the club now that she’s the HBIC around there… Instagram/Splash
