On a new episode of Van Lathan ‘s ‘The Red Pill’ podcast , Muva revealed that she use to sell crack back when she was young girl in Philly. “I usually don’t tell people this because I never want to tell a sob story. I tried selling drugs. I tried selling crack in my neighborhood. [The drug dealers] said I was gonna get robbed, I was a girl and I was too pretty. So what i did, I would bag it up for them. And they would throw me some money.” Being a drug dealer didn’t work out for Amber, but she still did what she had to do to provide for herself, her mom and her brother at the time. Starting from the block, now she here.

The former “Love & Hip Hop” star posted a picture of herself trying on wedding dresses this week with Beverly Hills designers Ryan Patros & Walter Mendez. On her story, she also tried on several other gowns and teased that she was having one made. The pictures apparently left Safaree “speechless”—but not speechless enough to repost the picture and write a “ STRAAAAAIT smitten” caption about his bride-to-be. “I would say I Can’t believe it but I prayed for this and God always answers my prayers,” wrote Safaree. “Can’t wait to see what dress you pick but i know i have to wait. I know our wedding is going to be big and extra as hell but if it was just me you & our families I’d be good with that.” Somebody is straaaaaait smitten! As previously reported the couple’s reportedly received huge 6-figure offers to live stream their impending nuptials but haven’t signed a deal—yet. There’s also speculation that there could be a VH1 wedding special brewing. What do YOU think about Safaree and Erica Mena prepping for their wedding???

Mariah and Quad have been eviscerating each other on Andy Cohen’s couches with allegations that Mariah uses cocaine and allegations that Quad slept with Mariah’s brother-in-law. Quad recently doubled down on the cocaine allegations and said she personally witnessed Mariah do the drug in front of her. She’s since told US Weekly that she believes Mariah STILL uses the drug to this day. “I saw her utilize cocaine,” Quad told US Weekly on Jan 7. “I know what I saw. I saw her actually using the drug herself … 2013, I saw her start using, and it just spiraled out of control. She’s just picked up the habit, even … has it now.” “This wasn’t a one-time thing, that she did this. This is progressively getting worse,” Quad said. “We’re not friends. We’re not. Let me just state that for the record. However, she was once a very special person to me. And because of that, I don’t want to see her continue to go down this road, because she’s a mother, she has children. She’s a wife. I’m very concerned for her. I’m very concerned for her.” Mariah’s since released a statement on her Instagram categorically denying the drug allegations. “In recent weeks I have endured a series of malicious and deceitful assaults to my personal character and integrity,” wrote Mariah.” I do not now or have I ever used illicit recreational drugs of any kind.” Not only that, she submitted a drug test to AllAboutTheTea that came back negative. On January 9, Mariah Huq was tested for cocaine, opiates, marijuana (cannabinoid), barbiturates etc. by LabCorp in Roswell, Georgia and all of her drug screens came back “Negative.” While Mariah might be clean from drugs, fans think she’s totally guilty of discounting Quad’s allegations that her husband was physically abusive.

We can’t confirm if it’s the real or a fling, but Cam and a woman named Tawasa Harris have been spending lots of time together, according to her Instagram account. The two even brought in the New Year together, watching Bird Box. This is them, Netflix and chilling: Tawasa also posted this photo of her self with the caption: “Thanks for making me this Happy everyday @mr_camron.” Previously, Cam’ron dated JuJu for over a decade, after meeting in 2002. About the breakup, Cam said it was mutual because it stopped being “fun” “Yeah but you know basically it was kinda mutual,” said Cam’ron. “For me it just wasn’t fun anymore, I met JuJu in 2002, she was my friend before we started being serious. That was my homegirl and everything was fun. Once Instagram came out, I”m the one promoting her on Instagram, marketing her, showing her body, showing how beautiful she is without being too distasteful about it—[but] basically, it stopped being fun.” Interestingly enough, Cam has also known Tawasa for around 20 years. He just posted this throwback video of them from 15 years ago, chilling in London. What do you think of Cam’s new boo from his past, Tawasa?
