August shared the somber news with fans on social media with a lengthy emotional message to his older sister who battled cancer. Chandra was actually the mother of three children fathered by his late biological brother Melvin. Melvin was gunned down in New Orleans in 2010 according to a VH1 report . In his public eulogy to Chandra, he revealed she asked for him to take care of his nieces left behind without parents. So sad. Here is August’s full message: Chandra… My Sister, My friend, life giver to my nieces, my hair magician, my biggest supporter, my number one fan. We lost such a beautiful soul on Christmas Night To the battle with cancer. I am Utterly devastated & Deeply shattered! Not only for myself, but for my 3 little nieces, whom are now robbed of BOTH parents. First they killed Mel, Now Cancer has stolen you. What is life? Why is life? Why is THIS life? I’m calling on God for the answers. I don’t question God but THIS I’m not in agreement with. After Mel left I was always pushing you and hard on you about figuring out life’s direction & purpose for yourself..encouraging your entrepreneurship with mostly my fear speaking. Afraid & wanting my nieces to see an example of hustle, drive, determination and confidence through you so that they’d follow suit as young women…. & ALL along you were PERFECT! Living in your perfect purpose. The perfect mother, the perfect friend, the perfect sister, the perfect listener, the perfect caregiver, the perfect example of a young black woman traumatized by the ruins of our cultural upbringing trying their damndest to push to evolve and overcome fear while trying to raise 3 precious little innocent lives &’figure out a life your own at the same time. Before you left You asked me to guard & raise these girls, & I promise you I don’t even know where to begin. I am at a lost & am desperately craving and crazing to be found, so please send some signs, help us out. I have trouble accepting the fact that you’re gone, so it’ll be like we’re just going for a while without seeing each other. Someday hopefully I’ll find you where you are, where Peace is. Please say hello to Melvin & hug him for me, & just ask God to cover the emotions of the girls and allow their hearts to be open, accepting and able to receive love. Ask God to expand my capacity because right now I’m maxed out. Lord knows I’m still raising myself but I guess it’s officially official…I’m a DAD now & I have 3daughters, & i don’t know the slightest thing about it or where to start but unfortunately I/we know loss too well. Rest In Peace my dearest sweet sister..You made it out of this hell hole. May she rest in peace.
Source: SplashNews / Splash News Folks Are Arguing Over North’s Red Lipstick 5-year-old fashionista North West just sparked a conversation about misogyny and how we raise little Black girls on social media, and she ain’ een know it. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s oldest daughter North was giving off major ‘posh’ kid vibes in new family Christmas photos with mom, dad and her siblings, 3-year-old Saint and 11-month-old Chicago, that Kim shared to Instagram on Wednesday. In the flick, North is rocking a mean red lip. This lipstick sparked comments from critics who “disagree” with “kids wearing makeup.” The comments were filled with anecdotes from folks deprived of gliding on lip color at North’s age. They also criticized Kim for straightening North’s naturally curly locks. What do you think of North’s look? In a plot twist, it seems like mother Kimberly will be selling the lipstick herself pretty soon… It just might be a new Classic Red Lip I have launch VERY soon https://t.co/159rpXMUxp — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) December 26, 2018 Kimmy loves Nori’s look, but this didn’t stop people from ‘parenting’ from the sidelines.

Source: Tommaso Boddi/Greg Doherty/Robin L Marshall / Getty Moniece Slaughter & Apryl Jones Argue Over Lil Fizz Moneice Slaughter sparked chatter about her baby daddy Lil Fizz and (the mother of Omarion ‘s kids) Apryl Jones dating over the holiday break, and it ended with the ladies hashing things out on a live stream. So how did this rumor start??? Under a photo of Moniece holding hands with a mystery man, fans questioned if it was Fizz. Moneice promptly fired back that it wasn’t possibly Fizz, because he was in Chicago “with Apryl and the kids.” Right away, fans took Moniece’s comment as she was exposing Fizz and Apryl for dating. This was especially spicy to folks because Fizz and Omarion are BOTH in the same band (B2K) and plan on touring together in 2019 ! Apryl denied the claim, calling her relationship with Fizz “platonic”. However, Moniece suggests the couple has been sneaky, only learning that they’ve been spending lots of time together because her son said he had been spending lots of time with Apryl’s kids — Fizz never even told her he was going to Chicago, she found out on facetime. She said: “I just wanted to let people know that it was impossible for it to be his hand because he was in Chicago with Apryl and the kids, my kid included. I don’t give a f*ck who he ends up with, as long as the b*tch keeps her hands off my kid, is nice to my kid and never speaks ill of me in front of my kid, I don’t give two sh*ts who she is.” Fast forward, the women took to IG live to hash things out and it was a complete mess! Click to see it here. In case you’re impatient, this tweet accurately describes how their conversation went: Apryl: DONT DRAG ME INTO THIS Moniece: Cam told me you spent the night Apryl: YOU WAS BEING REAL PETTY ON YOUR LIVE Moniece: and I thought they was in Aspen but Cam said he in Chicago with your kids. Apryl: LEAVE ME OUT OF THIS Moniece: Cam said he always hanging with Megaa — Shadina Adia (@heybuddy1) December 25, 2018 So far, Fizz hasn’t said a word…What do YOU think about this messy situation???
