See the original post here:

6lack may be unfazed by Grammy nominations but the Atlanta singer/rapper can tell you he was shook by Jay-Z and Beyonce catching his set at Coachella. He sits in with Young Jas to discuss what fatherhood has meant to him, why he’s taking time away after his tour to travel with his daughter, why he decided to release the full version of “Unfair” for Christmas and much more! On Fatherhood: “Amazing. It’s one of the best things in the world, if not the best thing in the world. It teaches you a lot about yourself, a lot about people and … just making sure all I’m doing is maturing and doing what I need to do. [It’s taught me to] focusing on clarity and saying what I mean, doing exactly what I say versus beating around the bush or skipping around things or not saying things because they make you uncomfortable. Just say what you need to say, get it done because she’s going to have questions and you need to have answers.” On Being Shook By Jay-Z And Beyonce At Coachella: “They told me they were fans and the show was great. They were just like, chillin’ right after I got off stage. So, get off stage and you see them and obviously I’m like floored, ‘They don’t come to everybody sets, I should feel really good right now.’ We talked for a quick second. Other than that, just knowing people I love listen to my music is a cool thing. Like Erykah, even Cole listening to my music is a good thing.” Join Our Text Club To Get The Latest Music, Entertainment, Contests And Breaking News On Your Phone. Text BOX to 24042 to join!

Source: NurPhoto / Getty Tis’ the season to hit up your alma mater and turn up with your peers like you’re in undergrad all over again. Homecoming is one of the few times in your adult life where you get to experience the nostalgia of being a college student again — minus the classes and homework. The best part about homecoming, besides partying with old friends, is the halftime show at the football game.   Sure, most guys come to see their take home the W, but men and women alike come to see the dance squads do their thing. Especially when it comes to HBCU’s. The Majorette’s dance segment is like a party in itself. STINGETTES! STINGETTES! STINGETTES! These girls are not playing at the Magic City Classic this year! Slaying and giving us all type of BGM pic.twitter.com/v8RV3aE0oa — HBCU SpotlightTV (@HBCUSpotlightTV) October 28, 2017 The performances are so powerful and essential to the culture that even Beyoncé was inspired by whole experience  so much so that she based her entire Coachella, post-babies, comeback performance on it. Her J-Setting, prancing and stepping was all the way on point. One fan tweeted , “ @Beyonce gave us a HBCU homecoming performance, just so y’all know. I mean the whole homecoming. Step show. Band. Dance. Concert. I’m telling you. You better do your research and then enroll! You won’t regret it.” And unlike some stars who steal from the lesser known without any form of compensation, Bey gave away 100,000 worth of scholarships to HBCU students . Some fans even joked that the Queen Bey didn’t get to live out her dream of being the HBCU dance team captain because she had to be Beyoncé. Whether that’s facts or not, we don’t know —but what we do know is that the power of the HBCU band dancers is not to be underestimated. From the outfits, to the music selections to the flawless routines, band majorettes are and integral part of not only the Black college experience, but Black culture as a whole. In honor of Homecoming season, check out these five HBCU dance teams that get the crowd so lit, every game feels like Homecoming. Did your school make the cut?

Kehlani Announces She’s Four Months Pregnant With A ‘Sweet Sexy Savage’ Seed

Natt Lim/Getty Images for Coachella Kehlani Announces That She’s Four Months Pregnant Much to the surprise of literally everyone on the internet, Kehlani announced today that she is four months pregnant! The singer took to her social media pages to announce the good news, along with a long heartfelt caption about how much she’s looking to motherhood. Within her sweet post, the Oakland native reveals that she’s had a hard time hiding her pregnancy since she’s always so open with her fans–but that doesn’t mean she’s revealing who the “best friend” is that she’s having the baby with. “i’m looking forward to sharing my little world with you all… my partnership with my very best friend, our journey of conception, my choice for a natural home birth with my AMAZING midwives at @parteramidwifery and eventually… the little pumpkin! ” Kehlani wrote. So who’s the father….or mother??? Kehlani has talked in the past about identifying as queer, so maybe she’s taking this journey with a lady lover? Or could she mean her “best friend” Kyrie Irving? She did tweet that the baby is with “the only man on earth i trust,” but that’s the only real clue we’ve gotten so far. She also said that she “hasn’t even hid [her] partnership” via Instastories, so it looks like the answer of who her baby daddy is should be reveal-able by stalking her social media. i have a daughter. me. i. me! kehlani! i have a mini on the way. my partner is my best friend and quite frankly the only man on earth i trust. we are SO READY FOR U MIJA!!!!!!!!! — Kehlani (@Kehlani) October 12, 2018 Congratulations to Kehlani and her impending lil pumpkin!

Offset Upset: The Migos Rapper Calls Out Joe Budden For Talking Ish About Cardi B On His Show

(Johnny Nunez/WireImage) (Scott Dudelson/Getty Images for Coachella) Offset has no problem calling someone out when it comes to his wife, Cardi B . Since him, Takeoff and Quavo already have ill feelings toward Joe Budden — it makes the Podcast host an easy target to get dragged from Jersey to North Atlanta. Offset had time on Tuesday after Joe posted a promo clip for his latest episode of State Of The Culture . Cardi B’s hubby commented, “I watched ya show u a grown a** n***a speaking on women I seen u in Barnes and u ran like I was gone do sum to you lol. U a hoe a** N***a soon u get touched u gone be police.”     But what did Joe say that has Offset so upset? He’s talked about Cardi before, regarding her music, her beef with Nicki and etc. — so whatever he said on episode 5 of SOTC must be real spicy, cause Offset wants the smoke.

Lil Uzi Vert Allegedly References Heaven’s Gate Cult In LP & Single Artwork

Link:

Source: WENN.com / WENN Lil Uzi Vert has found himself on the wrong side of a potential legal battle, this after he allegedly references a controversial cult group via images present in his upcoming music releases. Heaven’s Gate, the surviving members of the group in question, is pursuing legal action after they say the rapper used their symbol for the cover art of his album and single. Page Six reports : A month after surviving members of the cult slammed the rapper, 24, for the purported Heaven’s Gate-inspired cover of his upcoming album, “Eternal Atake,” the artwork for Uzi’s new single features another reference to the group. Released early Tuesday morning, the artwork for “New Patek” features the rapper reaching through a keyhole — a symbol associated with the infamous suicide cult and featured prominently in its logo. When reached for comment by Page Six, the Telah Foundation, which is made up of surviving Heaven’s Gate members who were left behind to answer media inquiries about the cult, explained that their lawyers have been in touch with the rapper. The outlet adds that officials from the Telah Foundation have employed a legal team to address the use of the logo and when pressed by Page Six , they stated hopes that the parties can come to a mutual understanding. Heaven’s Gate was a religious cult began in 1974 by Marshall Applewhite and led along with Bonnie Nettles. The group believed that their human existence was coming to an end and to rise to the next level, they would need to shade their earthly bodies in order to be transported into a spacecraft where they would live in total bliss free of “mammalian” tendencies. In March 1997, 39 members of the group committed mass suicide in an attempt to hitch a ride to a spacecraft following the Hale-Bopp comet. — Photo: WENN

Triggered: 7 Stages Of Grief When You Get Ghosted By Bae (‘Insecure’ Thoughts)

Read the rest here:

Source: Charley Gallay / Getty This week’s episode of Insecure probably left anyone in the dating scene traumatized and triggered (spoilers below). Surprisingly, it most likely wasn’t because of the return of Lawrence ( Jay Ellis ). In episode five, Issa Rae ‘s character ran into him at the store on her Coachella trip and in episode six, they see each other again at Tiffany’s ( Amanda Seales ) baby shower. Their conversation seemed to go smoothly and Issa made it clear by the end of the episode that she was ready to move on. Only problem is, her new potential bae went missing in action! That’s right. Earlier in the episode, her new starry-eyed boo thang, Nathan (played by Kendrick Sampson),  was making it seem like he had feelings for Issa when they were snuggled up in her bed. But when Issa texted him about a Lyft investigation pertaining to the night they met, Nathan didn’t respond for a day in a half. So in millennial dating years that’s like…a week!   There could only be two explanations for this. Either Nathan’s on the run from the law…   Or he completely ghosted Issa.   For anyone who’s been left stranded and alone by a potential bae, I’d imagine you had some traumatic flashbacks when watching episode six. To help you get through this moment, we’ve decided to list the seven stages of being ghosted in hopes that you can heal, be mad, then get right back in the dating game. Hit the next pages to find out what words people utter during these emotional stages!

During a recent show in Chicago, the TDE rapper told the crowd that he’s not his “real self” right now, but he’s pushing through because that’s what Miller would want. “I just don’t feel right putting out an album,” he said. “As y’all can tell, I’m not my real self right now…I shouldn’t even be here right now. But like I said, my ni**a Mac would not want me to be in the house sad. He would clown me for some weird sh*t.” Q is also not in the mood to do interviews. “I’m just not ready to walk into the radio station and the first thing they ask me is, ‘So Mac Miller’…I’m not ready to deal with those questions. So, right now, I’m not ready to put out nothing.” Watch him talk about struggling with the late rapper’s death  in the clip above. 26-year-old Miller died from an apparent overdose in his Studio City, CA home earlier this month.

Episode 5 was definitely a favorite episode of the season. The shenanigans that occurred at Coachella will leave you in stitches. Just like every other episode this season, the soundtrack was pretty dope too. Let’s get into all of the songs that played while our favorite characters were high out of their minds at Coachella. Book ft. Haviah Mighty – “Vamonos” Pretty much the first time anyone is hearing of this song is as it leads us into episode 4. For what it’s worth, that’s a huge accomplishment. The song was produced by Book by the voice you hear is rapper/singer Haviah Mighty hailing from Toronto, Canada.   Hit the flip for more music from tonight’s episode.
