Flashback Footage: There Was Actually A Time When Female Rappers Got Along

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty For the one-hundredth and fifty billionth time this year, Cardi B had to address whether or not there’s beef between her and her femcee predecessor Nicki Minaj . During a recent interview with Beats 1, Bardi revealed to host Ebro Darden : Cardi B speaking on Nicki Minaj pic.twitter.com/uxVXyjS045 — Nicki Minaj News (@NickiReignsCom) April 5, 2018 Even though her response about her and Nicki not filming their  “Motorsport” scene together is hella unconvincing, we’ll give Bardi a pass, since it’s her day. Don’t you just miss the days when female hip hop was about supporting the next woman coming in instead of being shade n’ full: We may not be at that point right now, but at last the genre is still alive and well with Cardi and Barbie both curving separate lanes. Even The Game can attest to that:   There was a golden time, back in the late 80’s and early 90’s when stars like Lil Kim and Missy Elliott   would actually enjoy spending time together with no diva-ness involved. Like in this epic clip from behind the scenes of Kim’s video “No Matter What They Say” in 2000. We see you too, MJB: Let’s not forget when Queen Latifah, YoYo and MC Lyte hopped on Brandy ‘s  “I Wanna Be Down” remix and bodied it together. And judging by this video of Remy Ma bringing out Lil Kim, Queen Latifah , Young M.A , Cardi B and more at Summer Jam last year, it seems there’s only one rap queen that isn’t getting along well with the rest.   Until we figure out what’s really good with the leading ladies in the game, we’ll just have to keep replaying the only song and video to highlight all the ladies in hip hop of that time:  “Ladies Night (Not Tonight Remix).” 21 years later and that video still goes! Let’s hope we get a newer version featuring today’s femcees, before it’s too late. via GIPHY

Go here to see the original:

Source: Joe Pugliese/Netflix / Netflix At multiple points in their new interview on Netflix’s  My Next Guest Needs No Introduction , JAY-Z and David Letterman agreed that they are basically twins. Sure, Dave’s face is covered by a thick white beard, while Jay refers to his baby fro as the “beard on his head.” And of course, young Dave hustled via a paper route as a young man, while a teen-aged Shawn Carter was bringing back $2,000 a day from selling drugs in New Jersey. But still, both men were able to build a great discussion around their common grounds of creativity, parenthood and marriage. Stans might be bored by some of Letterman’s elementary questions about Jay’s childhood, Hip Hop culture and “The N-word,” but when both men reflect on how their infidelities almost cost them their families, the world gets to heard from a side of Jigga that few knew existed, pre- 4:44 . “I’m not the worst of what I’ve done,” said Hov during his open introspection. Flip trough for five more moments that made Jay and Dave’s talk a must-stream.

Is Donald Trump Smarter Than This Second Grader? You Be The Judge.

Trump , being the reasonable fellow he is, has managed to get the country  thisclose to a trade war with China. After proposing an additional $100 billion in tariffs on Chinese goods, Trump defended his plan by tweeting out: “When you’re already $500 Billion DOWN, you can’t lose!” When you’re already $500 Billion DOWN, you can’t lose! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 4, 2018 Obviously that’s not how that works. So, how do we explain trade deficits to Trump in a way that he can understand? Jimmy Kimmel had a brilliant idea—he got a second grader to level with him. Meet Shiloh in the clip up top. [ione_media_gallery src=”https://globalgrind.cassiuslife.com” id=”4260318″ overlay=”true”]

Shining In The Afterlife: This Guy’s Blinged-Out Funeral Was Something To See

Source: Sam Robinson / Getty The family and friends of one millionaire auto dealer made sure he went out in style when it came to his funeral. In Trinidad and Tobago, Sheron Sukhdeo , was tragically killed in a drive-by shooting outside his mother-in-law’s house. And while folks close to the victim are surely mourning his loss, they didn’t waste anytime honoring him with the glitz and glamour he loved so much. On Friday, Sheron was buried in multiple gold chains and jewelry, along with some crisp Timberland boots. POPULAR BILLIONAIRE BURIED WITH MILLIONS OF NAIRA The funeral of a well-known 33-year-old billionaire in Trinidad and Tobago has gone viral. The late Sheron Sukhdeo lived a completely luxurious and extravagant life. The young estate agent and car dealer… https://t.co/QFos1adIMQ pic.twitter.com/AkNNL4sCD4 — #bbnaija (@OloriSupergal) April 2, 2018 According to Metro , the deceased millionaire was even doused in Moët champagne…so apparently, the homies truly “poured one out” for him.   This wasn’t the end to the flashy funeral. Sheron was then escorted from the funeral service to the crematorium in a $150,000 Bentley. And according to Daily Express ,  the Bentley hearse was led by two music trucks, while other flashy vehicles stopped along the way to do donuts in the street.   When they reached the crematorium site, cars continued to do circles around a funeral pyre, while mourners poured champagne into the fire.   Too much? Some folks seemed to think so. People apparently criticized The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service for failing to stop the car show. Now the department is looking more into the situation, according to Daily Express.  Sheron leaves behind a wife and two children. His murder is still under investigation, as authorities believe it might be gang related.

Keep It Simple: Marc Jacobs Proposed To His Boyfriend With A Flash Mob At Chipotle

Source: Michel Dufour / Getty Marc Jacobs , fashion designer extraordinaire, just proposed to his long-term boyfriend Charly ‘Char’ DeFrancesco –and he did so in a way most people probably wouldn’t expect. There’s a lot of different extravagant things people might think of when it comes to celebrity proposals, especially for someone so obsessed with aesthetics like a fashion designer. You’d probably expect an exotic or fancy location, an orchestra, or anything especially romantic and beautiful. Jacobs’ proposal was a lot less conventional–especially for someone of his stature–but that makes it all the more endearing. Jacobs took his then soon-to-be fiancee to Chipotle, where he had a pre-arranged flashmob surprise waiting for his unassuming partner. The flashmob danced along to Prince’s “Kiss,” right in the middle of the restaurant, which all led up to Marc kneeling down and asking DeFrancesco to marry him. Fortunately for Jacobs, his boyfriend said yes!! This cute moment was captured on video, which Jacobs happily posted on Instagram after the fact. A Chipotle proposal is something most regular folk would never consider for their big moment, so seeing such a big celebrity do something so small makes the couple all the more endearing. Congrats to Marc Jacobs and Charly DeFrancesco!

One Of Safaree’s Robbers Was A Former Old Friend

One of the only things worse than being robbed at gunpoint is realizing that you actually know one of the people who did it—and that’s exactly what producer/writer/reality star Safaree is going through. Safaree Samuels Knows One of Alleged Robbers, Posed with Him & Nicki Minaj https://t.co/RnoD0C04bz — TMZ (@TMZ) April 5, 2018 Reported by TMZ , Safaree Samuels was recently robbed at gunpoint, but as the details about the robbery continue to unfold, it has been discovered that one of the men who robbed him was a former old friend. One of the men in question can be seen in an old photo of Safaree with his ex-girlfriend Nicki Minaj while in a nightclub. Via TMZ: Safaree Samuels’ armed robbery hits closer to home than he might’ve thought, because he knows one of his alleged assailants very well. TMZ has obtained a photo Safaree took with his then-girlfriend, Nicki Minaj, and one of the men arrested in connection to the crime … Shawn Harewood. Sources tell us the pic was taken in either 2011 or 2012 at a club in Queens for Safaree’s birthday. We’re told Safaree and Shawn are old friends — Safaree’s known him since he was 14 years old. However, we’re told they haven’t spoken since Safaree’s break-up from Nicki.  Harewood and another man, Jonathan Ricketts, were caught and arrested shortly after the alleged armed robbery this week. They were captured on foot in upper Manhattan after police pursued them over the George Washington Bridge from NJ. Meanwhile, Safaree’s attorney has stated that the attack on his client was not random and he believes he was targeted. Safaree says that around $183,000 in cash and jewelry were stolen during the robbery. At press time, no charges, trial or sentencing have been announced.   Check out today’s Top Stories here: Lamar Odom Says Marijuana Helped Crack Addiction Tyrese And Wife Expecting A Daughter
