Isht Is Bout To Get Real: 2 Chainz Charged With Obstructing Justice Over Arrest In Oklahoma

2 Chainz Charged With Misdemeanor 2 Chainz might be headed to the whoscow According to MTV News: 2 Chainz may be facing jail time over an arrest that took place four months ago. All Hip-Hop shares that the “No Lie” rapper was officially charged with a misdemeanor for obstructing of justice, stemming from his run-in with police in Oklahoma this summer. Chainz took to Twitter to share his dismay. “So the fact that OKC is charging me with obstruction months after pulling my bus over And finding nothing lets me know the devil is busy,” he tweeted on Christmas Eve. Back in August, Chainz was pulled over in his tour bus during the ‘America’s Most Wanted’ tour. A representative from the Oklahoma Police Department told MTV News that the rapper’s bus was pulled over and the driver was arrested after cops suspected that there was drug use onboard. The rapper and his entourage locked the bus door and refused to let police in without a search warrant, maintaining their innocence. Later 2 Chainz explained on “RapFix Live” that he was sick of being a target. “I don’t do anything illegal,” he said. “You’re not gonna find a kilo on my bus. You’re not gonna find an unregistered reason. I went to work all last year. I paid taxes. I did everything I was supposed to do. So maybe people need to start aiming at some criminals. For me, I’m cold turkey on all criminal activities. I don’t wanna do anything criminal. It’s just about wasting your time, my time and taxpayers’ money.” Mr. Chainz better hope “your honor” believes his TRU story… WENN

Race Matters: Study Shows Black Fathers Are Just As Involved With Their Kids As Other Races

What baby daddy drama ? Black Fathers Are Just As Involved With Their Kids As Other Races Via LA Times reports: Defying enduring stereotypes about black fatherhood, a federal survey of American parents shows that by most measures, black fathers who live with their children are just as involved as other dads who live with their kids — or more so. For instance, among fathers who lived with young children, 70% of black dads said they bathed, diapered or dressed those kids every day, compared with 60% of white fathers and 45% of Latino fathers, according to a report released Friday by the National Center for Health Statistics. Nearly 35% of black fathers who lived with their young children said they read to them daily, compared with 30% of white dads and 22% of Latino dads. The report was based on a federal survey that included more than 3,900 fathers between 2006 and 2010 — a trove of data seen as the gold standard for studying fatherhood in the United States. In many cases, the differences between black fathers and those of other races were not statistically significant, researchers said. The findings echo earlier studies that counter simple stereotypes characterizing black fathers as missing in action. When it comes to fathers who live with their kids, “blacks look a lot like everyone else,” said Gretchen Livingston, a senior researcher at the Pew Research Center who has previously studied the topic. And in light of the negative stereotypes about black fathers, “that is a story in itself.” “People think they don’t care, but we know they do,” said Joseph Jones, president of the Center for Urban Families, a Baltimore advocacy group that works with African American fathers. “We see how dads are fighting against the odds to be engaged in the lives of their children.” Sit down haters! Black dads are taking care of their responsibilities like any other race!

Poor Thang: Jay Z’s Brand Is Suffering Because People Don’t Trust Him

Jay, see what happens when you continue to do business with Barney’s. According to Business Insider: In July, the rapper and business mogul Jay Z partnered with Samsung to release a new album, “Magna Carta Holy Grail,” by giving away 1 million copies to the first Samsung mobile users to download a free app. According to research from celebrity branding expert Jeetendr Sehdev, Jay Z’s partnership with Samsung was the second least popular celebrity marketing deal of 2013 among consumers aged 13-31 (Justin Bieber’s partnership with OPI was the most hated). In fact, the 1,000 millennials surveyed said the rapper himself was among the people least influential to their purchase decisions among the 80 celebrities Sehdev asked about, a group that included a range of personalities spanning from Tom Brady to Hillary Clinton. Sehdev said that while Jay Z remains popular with Americans of all ages, his brand is missing one crucial piece needed to persuade them to spend hard-earned money on the products he touts: authenticity. Poor Jigga. The survey found that Jay Z scored 70% lower in the categories of trustworthiness and honesty than did celebrities like Morgan Freeman and Jennifer Lawrence, an issue Sehdev chalks up to Jay’s intense focus on making money seemingly however he can. “Millennials question the exact nature of Jay Z’s role in the artistic process,” Sehdev said. “Does he really write his own songs? Is he choosing the artists to collaborate with, or is he just the face of a money-making empire?” “Millennials question his approach to loyalty, whether it be to a business deal or his fans,” Sehdev said. “His motivations to just make money can be viewed by this audience as self-centered, even if they may be business savvy.” Sehdev praised Jay Z’s participation in a revealing Vanity Fair cover story last month as a positive step toward regaining the trust of millennial consumers by shedding light on his social views and the family life he shares with his wife, Beyoncé, and their baby daughter Blue Ivy. To continue this progress, Sehdev said Jay will have to continue to feed the public’s thirst for knowledge about his relationship with his superstar wife and be mindful of only taking on partnerships that mesh with the Jay Z brand. “We rarely see this true side of him,” Sehdev said. “I believe Jay Z is going to need more exposure of his true self, meaningful partnerships, and true philanthropic efforts to get back into the good books of Millennials.” We see why people don’t trust Hov.

Sexy & Saved: Yolanda Adams Defends Curvy Gospel Singers And Says You Can’t Be Too Thick For God

Can you be sexy and saved?? Yolanda Adams Defends Curvy Gospel Singers Curvaceous members of the Christian community, including Meagan Good , the sisters of Mary Mary and Yolanda Adams, have all received criticism for their sexy style of dress, but Yolanda isn’t worried about pleasing the naysayers. Via S2S Mag report: “I know for a fact that Mary Mary—because I’ve known them for years—they don’t try to be sexual. Some of the things that they want to wear, they’re in style,” Yolanda told Think Positive Magazine. Erica Campbell, one half of the Mary Mary duo, recently came under fire for wearing a form-fitting white dress on the cover of her latest effort, “A Little More Jesus.” Many questioned whether the look was too sexy for someone spreading the Gospel. Despite what the critics thought, Erica told Essence.com that she loved the look, which made her feel “beautiful,” “confident” “sexy” and “strong.” “It’s wholesome,” Erica’s sister Tina told Essence.com about the garment that covered her sibling from neck to knee. “You see grace; you see beauty; you see elegance and style.” Yolanda said she and her counterparts want to be stylish, but they can’t do much to change their shapes. “I’m tall. I’m thin, but I have hips. A gown my graze me in a place where somebody may find it offensive, but it’s not sexual. That was not my intent. We can’t walk around with sheets on and moomoos. Then, they’ll talk about [that],” she said. “You have to take criticism with a grain of salt because you’re never going to please everybody.” Though critics might wonder whether the gospel stars and preachers’ wives are paying attention to what they put on, Yolanda, who has her own clothing line, assured that she’s very conscious about what she wears. “I’m very respectful in everything I wear,” said the Yolanda’s Closet designer. “I think about it.” As for Erica, whose controversial look also included sleek dark hair down to her waist, she reasoned that it’s good for young girls to know you can be saved and sexy. “This is about confidence and realizing that God made you and that you are beautiful just the way you are,” she told Essence.com. “I think that young girls shouldn’t only get sexy images from people who are not proclaiming Jesus…I’m cute, too.” Do you think Yolanda is right??
