Rich Homie Quan Apologizes For Smoking Around His Toddler Son Rich Homie Quan got slammed on social media when he posted a video to Instagram of him puffing on something with his baby in his lap — presumably catching quite a little toddler contact. The rapper didn’t seem to see the big deal at first, but it seems like his recent conversation with Child Protective Services really brought a lot to light for him — and now the rapper says he realizes that it might not be the best idea to get lifted around a baby: Who exactly has Rich Homie Quan on a pedestal???? Anyway, this apology mainly seems like a clean-up job for doing something he clearly thought was cool until CPS came knocking on his door. SMH. Do you think he’s really learned his lesson? Instagram
Bill Cosby’s Lawyer Blasts Fordham For Revoking Honorary Degree Bill Cosby’s lawyer, attorney John P. Schmitt responded to Fordham University’s decision to rescind the honorary doctorate degree they granted Cosby in 2001, saying though the school had the right to do so, it was an irresponsible move with inaccurate explanations. Fordham revoked the degree in light of Cosby’s recently disclosed deposition where he admitted to acquiring drugs to dispense to women for the purpose of having sex with them. But in a letter addressed to the university’s president, Schmitt, noting he was a Fordham Law School alumn, said the Board of Trustees’ decision was “so irresponsible as to shock the conscience” and it “grossly mischaracterizes both Mr. Cosby’s actions and his deposition testimony, in language more befitting a tabloid journal rather than a respected institution of higher learning.” “Nothing in his testimony admits to any nonconsensual sexual contact with any woman whatsoever. As you know, Mr. Cosby has been convicted of no crime and has steadfastly maintained his innocence.” Interesting. We guess he had to get that off his chest…but we seriously doubt that will cause the school to have much of a change of heart.

Drake Covers The Fader Issue 100 In the latest issue of The Fader , Drizzy lets his beard flourish and talks about the joys of finding a new way to flow and how the material on If You’re Reading This really wasn’t quite as exciting for him as it seemed to be for the rest of the world. Drake also finally spoke for the first time on ending Meek Mill’s career addressing Meek in the studio two times to very little response… “I’m just gonna bring it up ‘cause it’s important to me,” he says. “I was at a charity kickball game—which we won, by the way—and my brother called me. He was just like, ‘I don’t know if you’re aware, but, yo, they’re trying to end us out here. They’re just spreading, like, propaganda. Where are you? You need to come here.’ So we all circled up at the studio, and sat there as Flex went on the air, and these guys flip-flopped [about how] they were gonna do this, that, and the third.” He recorded “Charged Up” that very night and released it the next day on the same episode of OVO Radio that saw the debut of “Hotline Bling.” “Given the circumstances, it felt right to just remind people what it is that I do,” Drake says, a proud smile creeping into his face, “in case your opinions were wavering at any point.” When a reply to “Charged Up” didn’t come, Drake could hardly believe it. “This is a discussion about music, and no one’s putting forth any music?” he says, speaking with a furrowed brow, as if reliving his incredulity. “You guys are gonna leave this for me to do? This is how you want to play it? You guys didn’t think this through at all—nobody? You guys have high-ranking members watching over you. Nobody told you that this was a bad idea, to engage in this and not have something? You’re gonna engage in a conversation about writing music, and delivering music, with me? And not have anything to put forth on the table?” And thus…Drake made the conscious decision to end it altogether and we were all blessed with “Back To Back.” It was then that he decided to just go ahead and do another song. “I was like, ‘I’m gonna probably just finish this.’ And I know how I have to finish it. This has to literally become the song that people want to hear every single night, and it’s gonna be tough to exist during this summer when everybody wants to hear [this] song that isn’t necessarily in your favor.” It’s cold in the 6, huh? Hit the flip for more snaps from Drake’s Fader Cover issue… TheFader
I apologise to those upset by my description of President Obama’s smile on tonight’s programme. 1/2 — Matt Frei (@mattfrei) September 23, 2015 British Reporter Apologizes After Comparing Obama’s Smile To A Split Watermelon Barack Obama slander is nothing new but one British reporter is apologetic for using what can definitely be considered a racial slur to describe the U.S. president this week. It was intended as an entirely innocent phrase that apparently has a history I simply wasn’t aware of. Honestly no offence intended. 2/2 — Matt Frei (@mattfrei) September 23, 2015 Via NY Daily News reports : A British news anchor is in the hot seat after telling viewers Wednesday that President Obama was ‘smiling like a split watermelon’ during a meeting with the Pope. Matt Frei, an editor at Britain’s Channel 4 News, made the shocking racial slur while reporting about Pope Francis’ historic trip to the U.S., where he was feted by a visibly ecstatic Obama. Frei immediately apologized, telling his Twitter followers that he was unaware of the racial undertones associated with his expression. “I apologize to those upset by my description of President Obama’s smile on tonight’s program. “It was intended as an entirely innocent phrase that apparently has a history I simply wasn’t aware of. Honestly no offense intended.” In his defense, he did make the same comment months ago about British Prime Minister David Cameron: Cameron smiling like a split water melon pic.twitter.com/KfDM5WoE9r — Matt Frei (@mattfrei) May 8, 2015 So does that excuse him at all?
Vivica Fox Talks Kenya Moore While chatting it up with Bossip’s “Don’t Be Scared” podcast about “Empire” and “Independence Day 2”, Vivica also talked about her infamous feud with Kenya Moore . As previously reported things reached a fever pitch between them after Vivica accused the “toxic trick” of stealing her phone and using it to write a disparaging tweet while they competed on “Celebrity Apprentice.” So have the two ladies since made amends??? Nope. Not according to Vivica at least: “There were 16 contestants there [on “Celebrity Apprentice] and I finished in the top 3 and I was really proud of myself and I raised $70,000 for my charity. So I felt like ‘yes, mission accomplished!’ However all the drama and the cat fighting that jumped off was so trippt to me. I wasn’t used to being around girls like that that would look you in the face and then when you turn around stab you in the back. I got a taste of that with Kenya when she first started with Keshia Knight Pulliam and threw her under the bus with the whole Bill Cosby thing. I looked at her like ‘Damn, it’s three of us sisters on here. Oh you like that?’ So when I saw how she did her it made me keep my eye out on her. […] Kenya, she’s a snake in the grass. I’ve known Kenya forr a very long time and I was so surprised by how she’s changed and how manipulative she is. She took my phone. She cost me $600, I had to get a new phone. Yes that heifer took my phone and hacked into my Twitter account. But I’m over it, moving on!” Welp! What do YOU think about Kenya and Vivica’s feud??? Listen to “Don’t Be Scared’s” entire “Empire” recap featuring Vivica Fox below.
Kanye Talks Vision For Adidas Yeezy Season 2 Yeezy Season is upon us , and so is the onslaught of internet slander that sprang forth after Kanye unveiled his second fashion collection for Adidas — which mainly looked like sweatshirts and tattered tees and tights in varying shades of brown. But what exactly was ‘Ye going for with his looks? As Yeezus shared with Vogue Magazine , he just wanted to make a high quality version of what people wear on a day-to-day basis: I think people just wear yoga pants and sweatshirts, and I wanted to make the most beautiful version of that possible. Vanity Fair: It’s the ideal of the Gap, it’s the Gap 15 or 20 years ago. When it had the Peter Lindbergh photos. . . . I was so happy to just show so many sweatshirts. It’s as simple as that. I think sweatshirts are the way of the future. And we worked so hard on our development of our actual sweatshirts to make them fall a certain way, the dyeing that we do, the type of washing where we take a thicker Japanese stretch French terry and wash it down to where it keeps its original qualities but then feels so thin. . . . Sweatshirts are f*cking important. That might sound like the funniest quote ever. How can you say all this stuff about running for president in 2020 and then say sweatshirts are important? But they are. Just mark my words. Mark my words like Mark Twain. Well, we all love a good sweatshirt when it’s cold…but how many of us are truly willing to pay $560 for one??
