Cardi B And Offset Get Engaged Well, that escalated quickly ! Bongratulations are in order for Offset and Cardi B this Friday evening. Not even a week after they broke up over a blanket or some other form of Bronx-y BS …Cardi B and Offset are now on their way down the aisle. The two have only been dating for the better part of 2017…but Offset clearly felt that the time was right, and dropped down to one knee in front of Cardi and the entire Wells Fargo Center Arena at Powerhouse Philly. Cardi, of course, said YES in the Cardi-est way possible. And Offset did WELL for Cardi’s rock…gifting her with an 8-carat, pear-shaped STUNNER These two look like they are in true trap love. Congrats to the happy couple! We’re sure they’ll give us another hood holiday set of nuptials in the vein of Keyshia and Gucci… Instagram/Splash/WENN
Splash News Erasing Racism: Betty Shelby Has Terence Crutcher’s Fatal Shooting Expunged From Her Record FDB! Seriously. Terence Crutcher is dead, but the fatal shooting that claimed his life won’t even show up as part of Betty Shelby’s record. District Judge William LaFortune ruled Wednesday to allow for the first-degree manslaughter case brought against former Oklahoma police officer Betty Shelby to be removed from her record after she asked that it be expunged, NBC BLK reports. LaFortune has ordered that all documents connected to Shelby’s case be sealed and kept with the court, where they’ll only be accessible through court order. State law also allows that the documents can be destroyed after 10 years. While government and law enforcement would still have access to the record because Shelby would likely disclose it on job applications, other agencies wil not be able to find the case in a background search according to Shelby’s defense attorney, Shannon McMurray. “This crime does not exist for employment application purposes,” McMurray said, saying that it was important for Shelby “to have that smear on her name removed from public view.” “Like any other citizen who is acquitted, Betty Jo Shelby was entitled to have her record sealed and expunged,” the attorney said. “Betty … continues to work to try and serve her community and prays for everyone’s continued healing.” Shelby petitioned for her record to be expunged after her acquittal earlier this year for the September 2016 killing of 40-year-old Terence Crutcher. You may recall, Crutcher’s SUV was stopped in the middle of the street when he was approached by Shelby, who claimed during her trial that she was scared because he appeared to be under the influence of drugs, didn’t obey her commands and looked like he was reaching into his vehicle. You probably also may recall the footage of Crutcher from the patrol car dashboard adn police helicopter that showed him with his hands in the air. Shelby went back on administrative duty with the force after being reinstated two days after her acquittal. She resigned in July, saying she felt isolated from other police officers and was later worn in as a reserve sheriff’s deputy in nearby Rogers County. If only this case didn’t fit so neatly fit the narrative of an America constantly striving to preserve the purity of white women.

Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty Earns $72 Million In Just One Month It’s no secret that Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty had the ladies (and a few fellas) going crazy in these streets when it launched, particularly due to the quality and inclusivity of her product. And now the numbers show that Rih is set to far surpass that lipstick line and those K KW kits from THAT family , as well as several other established beauty brands. As WWD reports, Rih’s brand racked up invaluable Earned Media Value — a marketing metric that evaluates the worth of a product in social terms — in a short period of time, mainly thanks to her inclusion of so many skin tones in her foundation line and the excitement it garnered from social media makeup gurus . The company recorded $72.0 million in earned media value, beating out long-established labels like NYX ($51.5 million), Benefit ($48.1 million) and Urban Decay ($37.0 million). The brand, which has been praised by influencers and customers for its inclusive foundation shade range and holographic highlighter sticks, celebrated the launch with a party in New York hosted by the singer herself. Fenty Beauty’s earned media value primarily came from Instagram, where the brand recorded $45.2 million, and YouTube, where the brand recorded $10.6 million. Welp, when you win you win! Go Rih… Splash/WENN/Getty
Tyler Perry Terrifies Twitter With Marvel Revelation King of the chitlin gravy-scented aunties Tyler Perry recently took off his wig and fat suit and revealed that he’s discussed directing a superhero flick with BOTH Marvel Studios and DC in an eyebrow-raising Screen Rant interview that shook up the internet. Now, to be fair, writer/director/producer/dress-wearer Tyler DID build a mega-successful Black movie empire with a massive (and fiercely loyal) fan base so the meetings make sense but that didn’t stop all Hell from breaking loose across Black Twitter.

Khloe, Kylie, and their spread noses and loose clothing got together to do a little promo video for a lip kit collab that dropped last May. “We created them. It’s our baby together, we have eight! We have so many babies, who knew?” Cute, we guess…but are they in some grey area of copyright infringement with this “In Love With The KoKo” name for this line of lip kits? O.T. Genasis, what you think about it? YouTube/Getty
