Race Matters: G-Eazy Owns His White Privilege After Jada Pinkett Smith Calls Out Double Standard In A$AP Rocky’s Swedish Arrest

Source: Roger Kisby/Getty Images for BET/RB/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images / Getty G-Eazy Responds To Jada Pinkett-Smith Tweet About A$AP Rocky Sweden Arrest A$AP Rocky’s Swedish detention is some bulls#!t and each that the passes the call for his release gets louder and louder stateside. Yesterday it struck Jada Pinkett Smith that there is a disparity in Sweden’s treatment of a white rapper like G-Eazy and a Black rapper like Rocky who were both charged with assault… Hold it … G-Eazy got to strike a deal a day and half after possession of drugs and assault charges??? But you’re holding Rocky. We got the message loud and clear Sweden. Trust me … we got it. — Jada Pinkett Smith (@jadapsmith) July 19, 2019 Gerald had drugs too and STILL didn’t get half the punishment that Rocky is currently receiving. For those of you stuck on the comments that Rocky made previously about Black Lives Matter, Jada had a lil’ somethin’ somethin’ for y’all too… We all make mistakes and we can deal with that … in house … once he gets home. #freeASAP pic.twitter.com/TCMAVQR0HE — Jada Pinkett Smith (@jadapsmith) July 19, 2019 While it’s not clear that this is a direct response, it’s pretty clear that G-Eazy was hearing the talk about his case vs. Rocky’s and wanted to make sure that people know where he stands. This is the sad truth…The difference between me and Rocky’s treatment in Sweden brings to mind two concepts that disgustingly go hand in hand: white privilege and systemic racism. Let's call it what it is. He should not be behind bars right now. My heart goes out to @asvpxrocky pic.twitter.com/PHDrKsfiUF — G-Eazy (@G_Eazy) July 20, 2019 At least he’s self-aware. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is on Twitter trying to win brownie points during the same week he told women of color to “go back where you came from” Just had a very good call with @SwedishPM Stefan Löfven who assured me that American citizen A$AP Rocky will be treated fairly. Likewise, I assured him that A$AP was not a flight risk and offered to personally vouch for his bail, or an alternative…. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 20, 2019 Even people like Justin Bieber can see the jig… I want my friend out.. I appreciate you trying to help him. But while your at it @realDonaldTrump can you also let those kids out of cages? — Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) July 20, 2019 That part.

SMDH: Nike Apologizes To Black Family Accused Of Stealing $12 Basketball At Santa Monica Store 

Source: Chin Leong Teoh / EyeEm / Getty Black Family Racially Profiled At Santa Monica NIKE Store Damn. Black folks still can’t just walk around a clothing store without being followed or accused of stealing. Santa Monica couple Joel Stallworth and TaMiya Dickerson experienced just that on Friday after a Nike store manager told police that they stole a $12 Nike swoosh mini basketball, which they in fact purchased. According to reports , Stallworth and Dickerson were leaving the Los Angeles store when the manager, a White woman, followed them outside and accused them of stealing. They reassured her that the ball was purchased, but in true White lady fashion, the manager flagged down the police. Once the police made their way over, the couple pulled out their recent to prove that they bought the basketball. The manager, and officers, were shook when they realized the Dickerson and Stallworth were telling the truth. NIKE issued a statement to the family after the incident, saying: “We are taking the recent situation at our Santa Monica store very seriously, and we are currently investigating the facts. We will continue to work with our teams to ensure we deliver on our expectations for consumer experiences.” However, the couple is still quite pissed about the incident. Stallworth told KTLA : “She had zero evidence that I stole anything. She couldn’t have evidence because I bought it. She discriminated against me. She planted an evil seed in the officer, so as soon as the officer came up to me, he said, ‘Sir, give me the stolen ball.’” Once the incident was resolved, the couple returned the basketball to the store and got a full refund. Sucks it had to come to that in 2019 smh.

Source: Hirurg / Getty Police Officer Admits to Using Grieving Family’s Cable Account to Purchase Porn According to CNN , a London police officer serving with London’s Metropolitan Police Service admitted to buying porn at the home of a grieving family. The family, who had been coping with the death of their child , was waiting on the undertaker to arrive when Avi Maharaj bought access to porn channels. Maharaj admitted to purchasing the movies, spending £25.96 (roughly $32). He was investigated after the grieving family filed a complaint with the Metropolitan Police Service. He was the only person at the property at the time of the purchases, and to cover his actions he falsified his attendance log. “PC Maharaj’s behaviour was shocking and even more so given he was guarding the property in the absence of the homeowner…Not only were his actions deceitful but he caused considerable distress for the family involved who were dealing with the sudden death of a family member,” s aid the Independent Police Complaints Commission’s regional director Sal Naseem in a statement.  Haharaj will be sentenced for fraud in August and will also face charges of gross misconduct.

Texas rapper Tay-K is facing five to ninety-nine years in prison for every charge against hime after he was found guilty of a 2016 murder and aggravated robbery according to Fox4News . The 19-year-old born Taymore McIntyre initially pleaded guilty to the robbery but not the body, his lawyer couldn’t convince a judge that his client wasn’t liable. What’s crazy is that this isn’t the only robbery and murder case that Tay-K is facing! He’s still facing a capital murder charge in Bexar County and an aggravated robbery charge in Tarrant County. Both of those incidents took place after the rapper cut off the ankle monitor he was assigned after he was arrested for the chargees he was just found guilty of. This kid was out of control and now he’s going somewhere where being out of control is the only thing that might keep him alive. SMH

Iggy Azalea Has A New Accent Plus Other LOL Moments From Her “Fu** It Up” Video (In Case You Missed)

See the original post here:

Source: FayesVision/WENN.com / FayesVision/WENN.com Oh Iggy Azalea … How thou accent changes so greatly. The Australian rapper recently dropped the visuals for her song “Fu** It Up” and it’s filled with more accents than a World Cup tournament. Granted, Iggy is paying homage to a 1990s high school classic Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion . S o her accent in the video’s intro utilizes some sort of Valley girl-Australian mix…clearly a long way from the Southern rap twang of her early days . Then, once Iggy starts chanting “fu** it up, sis” with Kash Doll (“sis?”…okay Iggy), her accent switches to some sort of East Coast, New York-Philly mix? Idk. This woman will have you confused.   Even her hair styles throughout the video are questionable. The colorful wet and wavy look has already been done to great effect by Nicki Minaj. The barbz would gag…and not in a dope “oh she’s fierce” kind of way.   You gotta give it to Iggy though…her production value is top notch. Aside from the questionable accents, appropriated lingo, and last season hair looks, the colorful video is quite entertaining. Plus, the beat is knocking. And I appreciate anyone who acknowledges the greatness of certain white girl comedy classics. Let’s not forget Iggy’s commendable visuals for “Fancy,” which paid homage to 1995’s Clueless.    *Sigh* I guess, Iggy gon’ do what Iggy gon’ do as long as people support her. Fu** it up *ahem*……….sis.

Ashley Martson Pens Bittersweet Farewell: Goodbye 90 Day Fiance!

Rampant cheating. Allegations of abuse. An allegation of spousal rape . Ashley Martson and Jay Smith’s marriage was a disaster. But though Ashley’s time on 90 Day Fiance may have brought her haters, it also brought her a lot of fans. As Happily Ever After? winds to a close, she’s bidding a bittersweet farewell to the show. It was a once in a lifetime experience. Ashley Martson took to Instagram to write a fond farewell to the experience of being a 90 Day Fiance star. “As the show is approaching the final episode,” Ashley writes. “I wanted to take time to say I appreciate all the support and love from the fans.” “I was given an opportunity that many wish for,” she acknowledges. “And I am grateful for that.” “I was given the chance to let the world take a sneak peak into my life,” Ashley affirms. “And even though it didn’t end how any one wanted or anticipated,” she says. “It’s not something I regret or would take back!” Now that she and Jay are finally, finally over, they won’t be appearing as a couple on future seasons. “I’m sure next season won’t disappoint,” Ashley predicts. “And,” she continues. “You will get the opportunity to meet new couples and follow their Journey!” “It’s time to step away from the show,” Ashley affirms. “And focus on whats important.” “I have been given so many amazing opportunities from this show,” Ashley acknowledges. “And,” she continues. “I will be forever thankful to @tlc and Sharp Productions.” “The amount of support I have received majorly outweighs the hate,” Ashley emphasizes. Trolls often speak loudest, so kindness needs to come from many people to outshine cruel words. “And,” she expresses. “I appreciate every message that you so kindly took time out of your day to write me.” “I have felt the true meaning of love and heartbreak and many other lessons while filming this show,” Ashley declares. Those are some painful lessons. She also admits: “I realized that there is a lot I need to work on with myself.” “I know through all this I have learned some valuable lessons,” Ashley states. “And,” Ashley continues, she has learned “that I am stronger then I thought I could ever be.” “I love you guys,” she gushes to her fans and followers. People have been supporting her on social media for months, through some of the worst moments of her life. That forms a powerful bond. “And,” Ashley concludes. “I am so thankful I was able to experience this with all of you!” Plenty of people have terrible marriages to absolute nightmare human beings. But Ashley brought millions of people along for the ride of her marriage to Jay. That meant that her humiliations were compounded when he repeatedly cheated on her, each time worse and less remorseful than the last. That also meant that Ashley had a massive network of supporters — many of whom were there for her even after she screwed up a time or two. In the mean time, we’re hyped for the Tell All special to begin airing this Sunday! View Slideshow: Jay Smith Launches GoFundMe to Fight Deportation, Gets Accused of Rape in Shocking Leaked Texts

NeNe Leakes Locks Horns With Kenya Moore and Porsha Williams

The Real Housewive of Atlanta fans will recall that season 11 did not exactly end peacefully . There’s been a schism between the girls ever since the Bye Wig party erupted into a huge fight. And after a tense reunion on Wednesday, drama addicts can rejoice in the knowledge that the bad blood will carry over to season 12 as well. The occasion was housewife Marlo Hampton’s “I am Her” hair event.  As is often the case on the  Housewives shows, one of the girls holds a promotional event of some kind, and the other cast members show up to give their support. Or at least that’s how it looks on paper. Usually, the event only exists in service of the drama — an upscale backdrop for the girls to trash talk each other while wearing cocktail dresses. That certainly seems to be the case here, as star NeNe Leakes finally reunited with on-screen nemeses Kenya Moore and Porsha Williams. NeNe has been avoiding some of her castmates ever since her epic freakout at the Bye Wig party. As fans will remember, that altercation became fightentingly heated and culminated with NeNe attacking a camera man, who lost part of a tooth. NeNe still has a grudge against Porsha, who instigated that whole fracas by trying to sneak into NeNe’s very off-limits walk-in closet with Kandi Burruss. Nene was also reportedly enraged to learn that Kenya was brought back for another season, after producers fired her for keeping her marriage a secret. Ironically, Kenya might have been kept off the show if NeNe didn’t hate her so much.  Apparently, the beef the two women was too much for Bravo to pass up. Since rejoining the group, Kenya has been going out of her way to find a story line for herself. To that end, she made sure to stir up some trouble at the “I am Her” event on Wednesday too. An inside source tells  RadarOnline that Kenya attempted to crash the party, bringing her own rival line of hair care products. “Kenya was trying to wage a war with Marlo to cause drama,” the source claims. A tacky move to be sure, but it’s sure to make great TV if the cameras were rolling for this event, and we expect that they were. But despite this perfect receipe for another NeNe vs everyone blowout, sources say NeNe was on her best behavior. “There were no confrontations,” the source told  Radar.  “And [NeNe] even said hello to Kenya.” That’s some true progress for NeNe, who recently refused to be filmed in any scenes featuring Kenya or Porsha. With that said, it’s best to keep in mind that we all say hello to people we dislike on a regular basis. Sometimes you have to play nice or not play at all. At some point NeNe will have to swallow her pride and interract with her enemies, or she’ll miss out on a ton of screen time. But sources say she’s not quite there yet with Porsha. “Porsha is the only RHOA who said she is not interested in rekindling a friendship with NeNe at all,” the insider claims. This was plainly evident at the “I am Her” event, where NeNe froze Porsha out and the two girls didn’t acknowledge each other at all. So at the end of the night, an olive branch was offered, but plenty of bad blood lives on. We can’t wait to see how it all goes down on the next season of  Real Housewives of Atlanta .
