Mehgan James Talks BBWLA Season 4 Basketball Wives LA is back in full swing, and the ladies are already smoothing over old issues and getting into new drama. With a new season comes some new cast members, one of whom we’ve already heard a little bit from on other reality shows and social media scandals . Mehgan James is already kicking up a bit of dust and becoming notorious for fiercely defending herself only four episodes in. Mehgan sat down exclusively with BOSSIP to recap some of the action from this season thus far, explain her feud with Draya Michele , and give a bit more insight to who she is behind the reality TV cameras. People know you far better from Bad Girls Club season 9 and are just getting to know you in the world of Basketball Wives. What are the major differences between the two experiences for you? Well the women, of course, are a little bit more mature. As far as the whole experience, filming BBWLA is more like a job, whereas Bad Girls’ Club was like jail. We had lights out, a curfew, we had to wake-up at a certain time, ask to do this, ask to do that. But, when filming Basketball Wives, you wake up, get your hair and makeup done, you film and then you go home. It’s more like real life than Bad Girls Club. Well, you definitely made a splash coming in. Your first major controversy with the group was the whole “is she or isn’t she friends with Jackie Christie?” question. Why did it seem like you were hiding from the other girls that you knew Jackie? My words were never “I do not know Jackie.” They asked me did I know anyone in LA, and generally, I didn’t. When you travel different places, of course you know OF people. You know people like how I know my hair and makeup artists — and of course, I did Bad Girls Club, and all of my producers live in LA — but I’m not about to go down the list of people that I know [in town] to some women that I barely know. Speaking of your conflicts, so many fans are saying that you pretty much jumped out of the gate coming for Draya. Did you have it out for her the moment you set foot in LA or were you open to befriending her before things went left? Well if you watch the first episode, shortly after Draya’s fashion show I walked over and congratulated her. I had a sit down meeting with her asking her about her line and how long she’s been designing. There’s a lot of stuff that people didn’t see due to editing, but I was very nice to her in the beginning, and it seems like she’s the one that had a chip on her shoulder from the time I got there. Why do you think she has a problem with you? I really don’t know. I would just think it’s because I’m new to the group, I’m the youngest in the group, and I feel like some people just don’t cope well with competition. Before I got there, Draya was the youngest in her group of “friends,” and I guess she was the most relevant — I came into Basketball Wives already with a fan base. So I think she might have been a little intimidated by that factor. What does Mehgan have to say about Draya coming after “her FUPA? ” Hit the flip to find out… Instagram

Gwen Stefani Divorces Gavin Rossdale Celebs in long-term relationships are just splitting up left and right these past few weeks! Looks like it’s spilling over into the music world, as two rock stars are calling it quits after almost 15 years together. Via TMZ : Gwen Stefani has filed for divorce from her husband Gavin Rossdale, TMZ has learned. Gwen cites irreconcilable differences in her divorce petition, which seeks to end their 13-year-marriage. Sources tell TMZ there is no prenup, so the 50/50 California community property laws kick in. 45-year-old Gwen is worth a reported $80 million, and 49-year-old Gavin’s worth an estimated $35 million. Given the length of the marriage, that will probably all go into one pot before it’s divided. Gwen Stefani pulled the plug on her 13-year marriage to Gavin Rossdale because she believed he was cheating on her. We’re told Gwen and Gavin have not gotten along for some time. As one source put it, the split was “a long time coming.” We’re told Gwen complained about Gavin being away from home too much, touring with his band Bush from December 2014 through March 2015. One source says Gwen put pressure on him to stop touring and stay home. For his part, he felt it she was hypocritical because she was on the road too. Our sources say Gavin is a very good father, so both sides are seeking a joint custody arrangement. Awwww, sad to see a couple split after so long! But when a woman’s fed up…

Rather than make any grand statements or speeches about Meek’s bitter battle against him…Aubrey simply let a barrage of fan-made memes do the talking while he spit the bars that potentially spelled the beginning of the end for poor Meek: But that’s not even where the shade began for Drake today. Peep what Drizzy wore to rehearsal earlier: PURE comedy! Rumor has it Drake is dropping YET ANOTHER Meek Mill diss entitled “3 Peat” at or after the show tonight. But only time will tell if Drizzy plans to kick Meek while he’s down like that. In the meantime, hit the flip for more of Drake’s meme-tastic diss track performance and more from backstage at OVO Fest… Instagram
