Nicki took to her “Queen Radio” to sound off about her thoughts on the incident and she had a lot to say about Cardi and what went down. The Barbie Dreams rapper sounded off saying “It’s crazy for me that people always need to make Onika the bad guy. … I was wearing a Vauthier gown off the mother f—in’ runway and I could not believe how humiliating it all felt — how we made ourselves look.” Well regardless of what Nicki thinks sources close to Cardi B says that if she had to do it all again she would. TMZ is reporting that a source close to the Bodak yellow rapper says that she was defending her daughters honor. Nicki denies saying anything about Cardi B’s baby but the source says that’s a lie. To be clear Cardi doesn’t want another round with Nicki according to her source but if she had to do it again….Let’s just say all shoes are off. Close Thank you for subscribing!

Source: Jesse Grant / Getty Tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Hollywood is all about sexcapades. We pick up the episode from the ambush dinner Ray J alleges to have organized to get to the bottom of things, but we get to the bottom of nothing. Pregnant Lyrica goes is going all the way off. Ray J continues stirring the pot. He says that this is an important talk to have since Lyrica is pregnant because now we need to know who’s baby it is. via GIPHY Y’all. via GIPHY Anyway, Ray J’s comment is all it takes for A1 to lunge at Safaree. Security breaks it up because that’s what they do. A1 stands down but he also mentions that he’s mad at Ray too, as he should be. As far as the sex in question, Lyrica is still denying it and Safaree talked in circles. First, it was that he told Ray that he sent Lyrica an eggplant pic and that he smashed. Safaree is just talking in circles and not answering the question. Lyrica asks A1 if he wants her to take a lie detector test and A1 says he doesn’t believe in that stuff. That should be enough to end this, but we know what show this is. Hold that thought. via GIPHY Now we’re at the point where Teairra Mari’s sex tape leaked. Here we go… Everyone knows what’s up now and Teairra is on the warpath. She bashes in Akbar’s car windows in as revenge because she believes he leaked the videos. Akbar denies that he leaked it but the circumstances are fishy. He had all her passwords and shortly after she broke up with him he texts her talking about how someone stole his phone with their sex videos on them then coincidentally, her flicks are all over the place shortly after that. via GIPHY Teairra confronts him about this behavior but he really just seems like a disrespectful man who gives no effs. He even tries to flip it and accuses Teairra of leaking her own sex tape. Instead of drinking, though, Teairra fights back by getting the law involved. As we all know she hired Lisa Bloom to represent her. In case you didn’t know, Lisa Bloom is legendary in these streets. Let the games begin. Now back to Ray J’s messy arse. You would have thought he would have learned his lesson about meddling in people’s business but he links up with Roccstar and Roccstar tells Ray J that Lyrica was flirting with him and sent him suggestive text messages yatta yatta and the insinuation is that Roccstar smashed Ray J too. via GIPHY But then Ray J reveals that Lyrica is pregnant and of course the Maury jokes fly and now Ray J thinks they have to tell A1. via GIPHY Let’s fast forward to the episode’s conclusion. Ray holds a “gentlemen’s night.” Basically, it’s Solo Lucci, Marcus and A1 having a fake card game. Ray J allegedly feels bad about what happened with A1 and wants to make amends. via GIPHY A1 is the last to show up. He greets everyone but Ray because like we established earlier, he’s pissed off at Ray. Ray feigns indignation, they try to have a “civil” conversation but A1 is irritated and you know where this leads… via GIPHY They don’t fight because you know how tight security is. But then Ray J’s simple self-tells A1 to holla at Roccstar because he said he slept with Lyrica too and that the streets are saying Lyrica smashed mad dudes. And then Marcus jumps in talking about he heard the same thing (via gossip from Lyrica’s so-called friend Brooke) and Solo Lucci is chiming in with his little tidbits. Basically, A1’s thing is, he already patched things up with Lyrica so why are they still in his business? No lies detected. The end of the Hollywood Amigos is official.

Source: Randy Shropshire / Getty Who knew that so much could happen in one little 30-minute episode of Insecure ? Who knew that an episode, that wasn’t a season finale, could have you go through a million emotions all at once, only to leave you completely in awe with your jaw hitting the floor. If you tuned into episode 5 of Insecure season 3, you know two things — Issa Rae and Nathan are a good looking couple and Lawrence Hive has reassembled. That’s right folks, Jay Ellis lied to us all, Lawrence is indeed on season 3 and it’s amidst Issa’s new budding romance. You know exes can’t just let you move on, right? 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.
(Family courtesy photo via AP) It has been almost six months since two Sacramento police officers shot and killed 22-year-old Stephon Clark as he stood in the backyard of his grandmother’s home. The officers fired about 20 shots and said that they thought he was holding a gun and were in fear for their lives. He was only holding a cell phone. The Sacramento Police Department’s internal investigation of the shooting is still ongoing, as is the investigation being led by the California State Attorney General. Both officers involved in Clark’s death have been back on the job for at least four months, and activists continue demanding justice for his death. According to the Sacramento Bee, Clark’s family has filed $35 million in wrongful death claims with the city of Sacramento. The city has not officially released any documents to confirm this, a news release acknowledged that claims forms seeking damages “in excess of $15 million” for “nine separate causes of action that include negligence and wrongful death” have been filed with the city. Los Angeles attorney Dale Galipo and other attorneys reportedly filed claims seeking $20 million for Clark’s two children and $15 million for his grandparents and parents. According to the Bee , the documents were filed just before the six-month deadline to submit a wrongful death claim to the city. Such claims usually indicate a federal civil rights lawsuit will follow.

Source: WENN.com / WENN Post Malone must have a bullseye drawn on his back because it seems like trouble is following him everywhere but the latest instance has somewhat of a happier ending. Thieves targeted San Fernando Valley home that the popular artist once stayed and even demanded to know where he was before making off with $20,000 in stolen goods. TMZ reports : Law enforcement sources tell us … 3 male suspects smashed a front window a little after midnight on September 1 and entered the San Fernando Valley house. We’re told a resident living there was pistol-whipped. We’re told one of the 3 men yelled, “Where’s Post Malone?!” … before stealing a bunch of cash, jewelry and cell phones … about $20k worth. The barking out of Post’s name makes it clear they were targeting him, but it’s been months since he lived there. We’re told the people living there now have no connection to Post. The outlet threw out the possibility that the recent rash of home invasions and the like could be linked to other high-profile cases as a home where Rae Sremmurd was staying in the area was robbed of a safe just hours later. Rappers, a word of caution: don’t let social media know your location because it’s clear the bad guys are watching your every move. — Photo: WENN

Last night (Sept. 8), Drake brought out Meek Mill as a special guest during his Aubrey and the Three Amigos Tour stop in Boston. You remember the beef, right? Meek went full petty and exposed Drizzy’s ghostwriter use. The fallout was the Philly rapper taking an L, culminating with 6 God going full savage and dropping the catchy as hell diss track “Back To Back.” Well, that’s all water under the bridge as Meek performed his “Dreams & Nightmares Intro” during a Drake concert at TD Garden. Drake brings out @MeekMill for his Dreams and Nightmares intro tonight in Boston. #AATTM pic.twitter.com/msfcegt5xz — Word On Road (@WordOnRd) September 9, 2018 If this means all new and better music from these two, we’re with it. The moment wasn’t lost on Drake, who spoke about it on Instagram (see on the flip).
