Last week during his WGCI interview, Kanye said that he and Drake would have to patch things up eventually, but it doesn’t appear that that time will be soon…
Nicki And Cardi Kick It At The Met Gala Have hip-hop’s biggest divas just buried the hatchet? It’s no secret that there’s some sour grapes between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj — though neither one will outwardly say anything directly to or about the other. But with fans stepping in with sick slick talk and third parties constantly jumping in to stir the pot further, it seemed their beef was at a fever pitch.

Courtesy Asiah Collins Asiah Collins Spoke With BOSSIP About Filming “The Platinum Life” And Graduating From Culinary School Kid Ink’s wife Asiah Collins was definitely a fan favorite on the E! Entertainment series “The Platinum Life,” BOSSIP talked to the LA native about her marriage to Kid Ink, her culinary accomplishments (she just completed her studies and plans to open her own restaurant) and got some insight about her relationships on the show. Asiah, who shares a two-year-old daughter Aislin with husband of one-year Kid Ink, says the pair have known each other since high school but their relationship started out platonic. “Everyone thinks that we’ve been together since high school but we’ve known each other since high school, we were just friends,” Asiah told BOSSIP. “We would kind of lose contact then always find our way back to each other. We started dating around my 20th birthday and I’ll be 30 this year. So, it’ll be 10 years that we’ve been together and we’ve been married for one. But yea we’ve known each other for a long time, we grew up together. I remember being in high school and being young and trying to hang out with him, and he was older than me.” A lot has changed since high school, namely Ink’s success as a multi-platinum artist and songwriter. His work often keeps him on the road but Asiah is devoted to making their marriage work. “Up until I had our daughter I was with him on every tour, every event, show, and studio session,”Asiah told BOSSIP. “That was just how we rolled, and how we balanced having a relationship in this lifestyle and it worked for a long time. Now with Aislin, we’re there on the road but we’re not always there. You can’t always have a toddler on the road so we’re balancing that now – family life, and being in school, working on opening up my restaurant, and being there when he needs us.” BOSSIP asked Asiah how she’d advise other couples in the same situation. “You just have to make time,” Asiah told BOSSIP. “If you want to be with someone and have a relationship that requires you to spend a lot of time apart you just have to make time for each other, put forth the effort, and make it a priority.” Asiah also credits her husband for being supportive when she moved forward with the opportunity to do reality TV. “He’s kind of an introvert, he doesn’t really hang around a lot of industry guys because he’s always been an introvert,” Asiah told BOSSIP. “He’s constantly working, and me doing the show, of course, we both were a little hesitant at first. But we met with production and I felt really good about it, he felt really good about it and supported it. Other than the times where I thought I was going to lose my mind, but in those times he’s really spiritual and always gives me the right words to hear at that time. ” Speaking of the show, Asiah says she does have some regrets about the network not airing more of the positive moments the group spent filming. “Just a lot of fun times we had together as a group, and there were times we were there for each other. Just bonding and sharing stories of similar situations we’ve gone through in the industry with our men. I think it would’ve been good for the viewers to see that inside look at what we deal with in the industry.” Viewers may be surprised to learn that some of the women Asiah seemed closest to on the show started off as complete strangers.

NEW YORK, NY – FEBRUARY 09: Shaniah Mauldin attends the Fashion Hong Kong front row during New York Fashion Week: The Shows at Industria Studios on February 9, 2018 in New York City. (Photo by Andrew Toth/Getty Images for Fashion Hong Kong ) Shaniah Cymone Talks Fashion, Modeling & Growing Up Hip-Hop She’s famous for being the scion of Atlanta hip-hop royalty, but Shaniah Cymone is stepping out of her father Jermaine Dupri’s shadow and into the spotlight – literally. The pretty teen made her New York Fashion Week debut on Thursday, modeling designs in the Gregorio Sanchez/Bahmardi show and the Rome & Juliet Couture/David Topaz/Andre Emery show. She also sat made the front row at a few fashion presentations. “I’m walking in two shows,” Shaniah, 19, told us.”It’s my first time attending New York Fashion Week. “So, I’m super excited!” We sat down with the “Growing Up Hip-Hop” starlet, model and biochemistry student to talk about her foray into fashion – and what her dad thinks of her new money moves: BOSSIP: Why did you decide to go into modeling? Shaniah: “Actually, I used to model when I was younger…And now I’m actually on my way to starting a children’s clothing line, and my dad wants me to get more involved with the fashion industry as a whole, so I could have more ties and connections in the industry. That’s what made me want to start modeling again.” BOSSIP: What does your father think about your modeling career? Shaniah: “As far as my modeling career goes, my dad’s not a vocal person, let me put it that way. So, I don’t really know, but I know my dad, he wants me to use every platform that I have to be successful. He’s definitely that type of person, and wants me to utilize my opportunities. So, this is one that arose, and he want’s me to tackle it.”
Freeky Zekey Says Booking Dispute Was A Misunderstanding; Says He Respects Women “Dip Set’s” Freeky Zekey has hit back at a nonprofit head’s claims that he defrauded her for an appearance fee at her charity gala and then threatened her mother for the rest of the dough. Freeky Zekey said the fallout from his appearance at the “Sisters In Charge” masquerade gala last year had been a misunderstanding and said his accuser had been less than professional in her dealings with him. Earlier this week, we revealed Tamara Charles’ claims that Freeky Zekey reneged on their verbal agreement for him to Zeke to co-host her “Sisters In Charge” gala Oct. 14 and perform. Charles said she sent Zekey a $1,600 deposit to secure the deal. But instead, Charles said Zekey arrived 15 minutes before the event ended, underdressed and seemingly intoxicated. She said he hyped the crowd for a few minutes before taking pictures and speaking to “Love & Hip Hop’s” Juju, who was also a special guest. Charles said he still demanded the rest of his booking fee and threatened her and her mother until they came up with the rest. Charles also said Freeky Zekey stole her phone out of her hand, and when she got it back weeks later, it had been reset. But Zekey – whose real name is Ezekiel Giles – wants to tell his side of the story: According to his rep, Zeke acknowledged that he was late to the gala, but was under the impression that the night ended at 1 a.m., not 11 p.m. He said that most artists do not arrive at the beginning of an event, and once he got there was another performer on stage, so he waited his turn. Zekey contends that he got on stage, performed and also made a speech about the importance of domestic violence prevention. He said he asked Charles for the rest of his money – another $1,600 – but Charles said to wait until the end of the night. Zekey said it’s customary to get paid before the artist takes the stage. He said he asked her again a short time later, and she asked him to go outside with her, his rep said. He said Charles handed him an envelope, but it was less than the $1,600. He said by that time, her friends and family came outside, and her mother volunteered to give him the remaining balance. He then followed the mom in his car to a house and then to an ATM. When the mom gave him the additional money, he got on his knees and thanked her. Freeky’s rep showed BOSSIP video and photos of the rapper/hype man performing at the gala – proof that Zekey said he provided to Pay Pal, which is why he was able to keep the initial deposit. He said Charles disputed his fee with Pay Pal some two months after the event. The rapper also denied snatching Charles’ phone. He said her phone was among several phones that were on a table, and he believed it was his. His rep said he mailed the phone back to their mutual friend the following day. “Freekey Zekey has a deep respect for women, having close relationships with his fiance, aunts, nieces, etc…And he finds these accusations deeply upsetting,” his rep told BOSSIP in a statement. “He denies her accusations wholeheartedly.”
