I wanted a little change up for the Summer,” she captioned a photo of the “new” style. She also made sure to add that she names ALL her hairstyles, not just her braids. “Oh and by the way.. I name all the braid styles I do even hair styles with no braids .. Its a cute thing I do..

Just Being Honest: Sevyn Says She Once Contemplated Suicide

Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images So sad… Sevyn Reveals Depression Battle Sevyn is revealing intimate details about her personal life including a serious battle with depression. The “Just Being Honest” songstress is revealing that she secretly contemplated ending her life and only her family members knew about it. “I dealt with depression on a very serious level for like a year-and-a-half, and I never said anything to my fans,” Sevyn told Vibe Vixen. “Obviously, my mom and my dad and my brother, a few family members, knew about it — but it was really, really hard. I wanted to kill myself, I really did. And through my family, and God and prayer, it turned around. So what triggered Sevyn’s bout with depression? Turning 30. “Turning 30 was a big trigger for me,” added Sevyn. “This is not like when you graduate high school and you get your diploma. You go to college for four years, or whatever period of time, and you get your degree. You did it, and you get to move on. I’ve literally been doing the same exact thing every day with the same amount of intensity and focus, since I was 15 years old. To look up and be 30 years old, and to feel like this hasn’t happened yet, but you can’t quit because you’re just going to be throwing away all the years that you put into it [music]. That in itself can take a toll. I don’t care what you do in life, you want to be successful, you want to feel like you accomplished certain things.” We’re so glad to see that Sevyn’s in a much better place. She’s currently promoting her debut album “Girl Disrupted” that hit stores July 7. Will you be buying???

WENN  Snoop Dogg Salutes Jay Z But Admits Not Having Tidal Subscription While the excitement for Jay Z’s album escalated the closer it got, the conversations that everyone had revolved around not wanting to actually get a Tidal subscription. The streaming service has been suffering to pull subscribers from Spotify and Apple Music, and exclusives like Jay’s album (and the rest of his discography) are one of the only things driving users to the site. Snoop D-O Double G is just like the rest of us. Not only does he not have Tidal, but explained that he doesn’t even know how it works and was searching for ‘4:44’ on iTunes until he had his friend send bootleg it for him. Even Hip Hop legends are out here bootlegging music for free.99. Poor Jay Z. Whether he has Tidal or not, Snoop got to listen to the album and has nothing but love and praise for the Roc-A-Fella mogul. He sends an important message to all of his Instagram viewers, preaching to “practice supporting mother f-er’s other than yourself.” Now please, one of Snoop’s children: go show him how to sign up for Tidal.

Future Responds To Jay-Z’s 4:44/em> Mention Is there a trap beef brewing between Future and Jay-Z over his latest album’s lyrics ? If you’ll recall, fans spotted some Future shade on “Kill Jay-Z” when Jay imagined what his kids’ upbringing might look like if he didn’t straighten up in his relationship with Beyonce: In the Future, other n*ggas playin’ football with your son Which, of course, most believe refers to this: Well, Future has something to say about that. Sort of. Future Snapped himself with a stack of cash up to his ear — an action Jay-Z proclaimed was a definite no-no on his latest album — and captioned it “U ain’t got the juice like dat.” Well, Jigga can’t sway everyone. Least of all folks whose fatherhood situation he mocked/made an example of. What do you think of Future’s light clapback? Getty/ATLpics

Where’s Swizz? Mashonda And Alicia Keys Peacefully Party Together In Berlin [Video]

Mashonda And Alicia Keys Club Together In Germany The side-chick saga that led to Swizz Beats’ divorce from Mashonda and marriage to Alicia Keys is beyond water under the bridge at this point. So much so, in fact, that Mashonda and Alicia’s relationship goes well beyond cordial and mature into an all-out firendship at this point. Alicia and Mashonda have both gone on record to praise their blended family preciousness and talk about how they were all able to mature to get things working functionally for the kids…but we’ve never seen these two just chilling one-on-one without any of the boys or Swizz around. But, as both ladies were in Berlin last night for Swizz’s “No Comission” Art Event , the two decided to hit a spot together and rock out to Kendrick Lamar. Welp good for them! We definitely don’t want to tell all the adulterers out there that they’re on the right track…but things certainly worked out swimmingly for this trio. Unless Mashonda is on some secret mission to get close enough to Alicia to end her life and not be implicated…but it LOOKS like everyone is cool. Ladies, if you lost your marriage this way, do you think you could kick it in VIP with your ex-husband’s lover-turned-new wife years on down the road? WENN/Splash/Instagram
