The 2019 BET Awards is on Sunday and one auto-tuned soul seeEEEeeeiinger is missing from the nominations. Why won’t BET give King Jacquees his roses!? Jacquees took to social media on Tuesday to complain about his missing nomination. In a since deleted video, he said: “Hold on…How in the fu** am I not nominated for a BET Award?” The King then turned to someone off camera and repeated his disbelief: “Bruh, how the fu** is that possible?” How BET? HOW?! He continued: “What the fu**? I ain’t gon’ lie, I feel disrespected at this point. Maybe I gotta work harder. But how hard you gotta work when you nominate ni**as that don’t even…nevermind.” Peep the clip for yourself below. View this post on Instagram #PressPlay: #Jacquees has some questions A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) on Jun 18, 2019 at 3:07pm PDT The Cash Money seeEEinger has never had a BET nomination. In the Best Male R&B/Pop Artist category Anderson .Paak , Bruno Mars, Childish Gambino , Chris Brown, John Legend and Khalid fill up the spots. Ironically, Jacquees will be performing with Tank at the BET Experience at The Novo on June 20. He’s also supposed to release his second studio album Round 2 on July 19, according to Rap-Up . A BET nod would’ve been cute right about now. But it seems The King will have to give up his thrown to another iconic crooner.

Maci Bookout has been a part of Teen Mom since the beginning. She is, to use the program's own language, an original; an OG , if you will. After all these years, given all she has been through in front of the camera, you'd think the series would have plenty to say about Maci and plenty to film concerning her life on a weekly basis. But Bookout is sick and tired of this not being the case. She's sick and tired of having all her storylines tied up in one person… and all Teen Mom viewers know who this person is. 1. Like We Said, Maci is a Literal OG She just returned for a new season of this beloved MTV hit, but she already has problems with it. 2. She Has Moved SO Far Past Ryan Edwards Yes, Bookout became pregnant with her first child with then-boyfriend Edwards, and gave birth to their son, Bentley Cadence Edwards, on October 27, 2008. The two got engaged in 2009 … but subsequently ended their relationship in 2010. 3. Taylor for All the Wins She is now very happily married to Taylor McKinney and has been since October 2016. 4. But Happiness Doesn’t Garner Ratings As a result, Teen Mom OG too often ignores everything in Maci’s life to hone in on whatever the heck Ryan is up to these days. 5. And Maci is Well Aware of This She’s also sick of it. 6. Here is Her Rant She doesn’t say Ryan by name, but it’s very apparent who she is talking about here. View Slideshow
We have been quite suspicious of current contestant Jed Wyatt on The Bachelorette . But now we are just beyond over him. After the singer/songwriter boldly opened up to Hannah Brown about why he really signed up for the popular dating show, she thanked him for his honesty. He may not have signed up for the right reasons, as he admitted it was to further his music career, but he now swears that he is completely ready for an engagement. Some viewers may have been able to look past Jed’s shady confession, but for those who still continue to doubt his motives, well good job — you are highly intuitive. And now that this shocking story has surfaced, I bet we can all agree that he has to go. Apparently, Jed was still in a relationship when he went on to the show. Yes, he should’ve been immediately booted out right along with fellow contestant Scott who was also coupled up prior to meeting Hannah. (AKA their possible future fiance?! What are these men thinking?!) Wyatt was allegedly four months into a relationship with fellow Nashville-based musician Haley Stevens when he first left to find love (or followers) on the reality show. Stevens recently told People about her devastating situation, while giving us all the tea on two-timing Jed. “We spent the night together the night before he headed to L.A.,” she said, opening up publicly about their romance for the first time. “He told me [the show] was just an obstacle and we’d be stronger on the other side because of it.” Stevens says Wyatt was completely clear with his motives for going on the show, which he applied to before they started dating. “He told me [early on] that he had applied,” says Stevens, 26. “He said, ‘It’s probably not going to happen, but it’s a huge opportunity. I’m only doing this for my music.'” “He only did it for his career,” she said. Stevens continued explaining that she was under the impression that he just wanted a platform. “He kept telling me, ‘I don’t want my dad to have to help me pay rent anymore.'” “He said he only wanted to be top five… to be a major player so that it would be beneficial,” she explained. And yes Jed may have already explained all of this to Hannah, but we all know she would have gone total beast mode and thrown him out of the mansion immediately If she knew the real truth. As for Haley, she wasn’t worried about him dating another woman at the time because he reassured her saying, “It’s not real. It’s acting.” Even after Wyatt got the call in February that he was officially joining the cast of the show, the two took a romantic vacation to the Bahamas, where they said ‘I love you’ for the first time. According to People , the last time Stevens and Wyatt spoke was right before he began filming. “He called me when he landed in L.A. He said, ‘I love you, and I’ll call you when I get back,'” she said. Bachelor rules state that all contestants must give up their cell phones during filming, so Stevens obviously grew nervous. The poor girl had to read through spoilers and actually suffer through watching the show just to see what was going on with her man. “I was following along on spoiler accounts, trying to figure out when my boyfriend was going to come home,” she said. “I bought a homecoming outfit that I was going to wear to maybe pick him up at the airport.” But as Jed and Hannah’s relationship continued to advance, she began to panic. “I was terrified that he would fall in love with Hannah,” she confessed. “In the beginning, I felt bad [watching the show] because I thought he loved me and was faking dating her.” “But then I thought, my boyfriend could be engaged to someone else”… “Seeing him kissing her for the first time was the worst day,” she explained. Wow. what a terrible situation for both Hannah and Haley. Let’s all cross our fingers in hopes that it isn’t Jed who gets down on one knee at the end of this. (please be Peter) Either way, we hope Jed’s music career was worth it because pretty sure he is about to have like 0 fans now.

Just when you thought the talk of a feud between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton had finally died out, along comes yet another report of Meg rocking the boat. Yes, get ready to be annoyed by fussiness over an outdated institution, ladies and gentlemen, because we have new accusations that Meghan is violating royal protocol ! In the past, we’ve heard allegations of Meghan failing to curtsy properly and just generally eliciting widespread pearl-clutching across the UK. Now, it seems like the stuffiest royal traditionalists might want to hold on to their heart meds and prepare to pop their monocles, as Meg has reportedly arrived at the very obvious conclusion that the entire concept of a royal family is, in fact, quite dumb. Or at the very least, she’s fed up with abiding by rules that infringe on her individuality. According to a new report from Radar Online, the Duchess of Sussex is sick of being the low woman on the totem pole and she’s now “fighting for equality” within the Windsor clan and refusing to “bow down” to her superiors. We’re guessing that means Kate and the Queen because that’s usually how these stories play out. “Meghan and Harry feel that the rules and regulations in connection with royal protocol are antiquated to forward-thinking millennials,” says one insider. “Meghan and Harry respect tradition but want the freedom to do their own work and promote their causes without being held back by any constraints.” First, they came for breakfast cereals, mortgages, and bar soap, and now millennials are killing the royal family! Though it sounds like Meghan is locking horns with her in-laws, the insider insists her objections have more to do with the work she plans to do going forward: “This is the real point of contention and it has nothing to do with Meghan versus Kate or Harry versus William,” the source claims. “Meghan has big ambition and lofty goals and feels it is unfair that her unrelenting work ethic is being stifled because the others can’t keep up with her.” Meghan is on maternity leave at the moment, having welcomed her first child just last month. But the informant says she’s already planning to accomplish some big things once she returns to duchess duty later this year. “It’s not a competition to Meghan, it’s about working hard and delivering results and that is what she is laser focused on,” says the insider. “Expect her to make a huge comeback after her maternity leave ends. You will see her everywhere and she is already booked out through 2021.” We suppose we’ll just have to wait and see what Meghan has in store. It’s probably some sort of laudable philanthropic endeavor, but we’re deeply petty people, so we’re sort of hoping she announces a Most Popular Duchess contest and starts barnstorming all over the British empire.

The Bachelor Nation doesn’t have to follow The Bachelorette Spoilers to know that Luke Parker is the absolute worst . We’ve all seen that creepy promo where Luke slut-shames Hannah. Now, Bachelorette castoff Devin is discussing what he saw of Luke behind the scenes — and how the holier-than-thou act may just be an act. Entertainment Tonight spoke with Devin Harris about what Luke Parker is really like. Is he a zealot or just a douche? “He is very fickle and flippy floppy,” Devin assesses. “In terms of the way that he moves throughout the season.” “Weirdly enough,” he remarks of Luke P. “When it was the guys, he’s cool enough.” “But once Hannah becomes involved,” Devin observes. “He becomes very manipulative. … ” He then comments: “I think he has douchey tendencies.” Then he gets into that disturbing scene where Luke talks about keeping “the marriage bed pure,” like a total creep. Devin remarks: “He never spoke about those types of dynamics with us.” “I think that ultimately, if Luke is following a path like that,” he expresses. “It’s important to remember that… God’s accepting.” “He’s an accepting person,” Devin emphasizes. “So I don’t know if really — and I’ll put this out there — I don’t know if it’s a facade,” he suggests. Now that’s a thought. “He’s saying he follows a certain path,” Devin continues. “That’s fine.” “But I don’t think that passing judgment on somebody is the kindest thing you can do,” he states. Devin is correct. He says that this is true “especially in relationships, when it’s about accepting someone’s flaws or challenges.” “That’s how you get to know somebody,” Devin notes. “You accept those because you accept that person.” Devin points out that even Luke P has admitted to acting a certain way on camera. So once again, he brings up that the audience — and Hannah — don’t truly know how much of this is fakery. “I think there is an aspect of facade that he is portraying,” Devin suggests. So which part is fake? What is the real Luke like? What does he hope to gain by acting like a douchey wingnut? Devin admits to being as in the dark as the rest of us, saying: “I guess that’s what we’re all trying to figure out!” Chris Harrison delved into Hannah’s very firm and wisely independent attitude. He quotes Hannah: “‘No matter what you believe, my body, my choice, my life, and if you don’t like it, there’s the door.'” “‘Don’t let it hit you in the a** on the way out.’ That’s how she approaches all the men,” he explains. “She’s very vulnerable and emotional,” Chris observes. “But don’t you dare cross her and question her decisions.” He explains: “because this is her life and you’ve got to respect that.” Now, Chris Harrison has also stated that he thinks that upcoming events will be polarizing among viewers. It may depend upon their views of religion and sexuality. That makes sense — there are lots of opinions within Christian circles, and then a whole spectrum of non-Christian views. But the only opinion that matters at the end of the day is Hannah’s. Like she says, it’s her body. The big question is what Luke could possibly hope to gain from whatever facade he may be putting on. Maybe Devin’s wrong and he’s just a fanatic. Or maybe … he’s fishing to launch a career. Plenty of washed out actors have launched new careers as conservative commentators in recent years. Maybe Luke is treating this show as an audition for that? If so, he’s doing a real disservice to Hannah. View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Spoilers: Check Out the Lucky Guy Who Wins Hannah’s Heart!

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty The concept of legacy is nothing new to Laz Alonso . The seasoned actor who has starred in films like Jumping The Broom and Just Wright has been forced to think apart from his own financial future from the start of his career. He revealed his first major purchase when Hollywood came calling on the red carpet for the Prudential documentary Legacy Lives On . “I bought my mom a house,” said the actor. He made the purchase with his check from 2005’s Jarhead . Many would have used their windfall from the popcorn flick to splurge on something selfish, but Alonso had one agenda protecting his mother from falling victim to gun violence . “This was D.C. in the eighties,” he explained. “My mother used to park her car in this lady’s house, and she rented rooms too.” His mother routinely parked her car at the woman’s home to prevent it from being broken into or stolen at the height of the city’s crack epidemic. “She went inside and had tea with the old lady every day after work,” he said. “One day my mother got there and there was police tape around the house. One of the rooms was rented to a drug dealer and one day they came in the house and shot the old lady, the drug dealer and the drug dealer’s kids,” he continued somberly. “She had stayed at work a little late this one particular day. Otherwise she would have been there at the table.” Seeing how close his mother had come to losing her life forced Alonso to focus on how money could be a tool to provide for him and his loved ones. “I was like ‘I gotta get my mother out of here. I don’t care how much debt it’s gonna put me in.’” A consistent fixture on the large and small screens he has used his money to invest in not only real estate but projects that afford him the luxuries accompanied by ownership . He praised the documentary for offering what he called “practical tips not vague information,” on how to save and invest. He also expressed a desire to make an “investment in the community,” with the funds from his current projects including an Amazon Prime TV Show called The Boys where he will work with Gabrielle Union and Jessica Alba. He advises younger actors coming into the industry as streaming services threaten to dismantle traditional business models to do the same. “Create, create create,” he said. “You should be creating. Your intellectual property is your real estate.” DON’T MISS: This Black Financial Blogger Helped Create A Bill To Teach Middle Schoolers Money Management Will Rihanna’s Deal With LVMH Be The Key To More Black Women In Fashion?
