But Yaweh’s journey has not been an easy one. After getting kicked out of his home for selling drugs, Yaweh packed up his life in Florida and moved to Los Angeles to pursue his music career. After being homeless and grinding in L.A., Yaweh caught the attention of Post Malone and Dre London before signing to their London Entertainment Label. Now, you can catch the Orlando native hitting festival stages all over the world. Yaweh along with Shordie Shordie took our Who’s Next Summer Series stage. Before, he stopped on the block with our girl DJ AngelBaby to talk about his music inspirations, how being homeless helped him, and tried his luck at a game of bars with DJ AngelBaby.

J ada Pinkett Smith hosts “Red Table Talk” on Facebook where she, her mother Adrienne Banfield Norris and her 18-year-old daughter Willow Smith talk every topic possible. It’s a candid convo that gets extra real. Today, Willow dropped a bomb on her mom that gave her a bit of a jolt. READ MORE: Candace Owens Reportedly ‘Influenced’ New Zealand Mosque Terrorist The most recent episode was about open relationships with two guests invited on talking about their unique arrangement. Willow talked if that type of situation could work for her, saying, “I love men and women equally and so I would definitely want one man, one woman.” She continued, “I feel like I could be polyfidelitous with those two people. I’m not the kind of person that is constantly looking for new sexual experiences. I focus a lot on the emotional connection and I feel like if I were to find two people of the different genders that I really connected with and we had a romantic and sexual connection, I don’t feel like I would feel the need to try to go find more.” She also could not see herself in a quadruple, adding, “Personally, male and female — that’s all I need,” she said. Jada looked a bit shocked and said, “How does that make you feel?” to her mom. She continued with laughter, “‘Cause I think my stomach just [makes turning motion].” She also said, “Listen, you know me, Willow. Whatever makes you happy. I always tell her, never be afraid. You have to live who you’re not to know who you are.” That’s what you call support — loving your child no matter what. Watch the show below, go to the 8:00 minute mark to see the exchange. While some people automatically equate disaster with open relationships, a 2018 study from the University of Guelph says the opposite. Co-author of the study Jessica Wood said, “We found people in consensual, non-monogamous relationships experience the same levels of relationship satisfaction, psychological well-being and sexual satisfaction as those in monogamous relationships.” She also said, “This debunks societal views of monogamy as being the ideal relationship structure. … In both monogamous and non-monogamous relationships, people who engage in sex to be close to a partner and to fulfill their sexual needs have a more satisfying relationship than those who have sex for less intrinsic reasons, such as to avoid conflict.” SEE ALSO: All The Ways Cops Are Still Trying To Cover Up LaQuan McDonald’s Execution Outrageous!

We probably don’t need to tell you that the goal of reality television is not to perfectly depict reality but to craft a compelling narrative and attract an audience. As a result, the shows we love don’t always provide an accurate depiction of the lives we’re looking in on. And according to Fernanda Flores, the producers of 90 Day Fiance offered viewers a wildly inaccurate portrayal of her brief relationship with Jonathan Rivera. As you likely already know, Jonathan and Fernanda’s breakup was as ugly as they get — and the whole mess is far from over. In fact, last we checked in on him, Rivera was talking about having Flores deported . For now at least, Fernanda is still living in America, and clearly, she’s not about to take Jonathan’s threats lying down. Fernanda Flores Explains 90 Day Fiance Split, Accuses Jonathan of Abuse in Iconic 44-MINUTE Video Flores recently posted a 44-minute video in which she offered her side of the story — and needless to say, the whole thing is not terribly flattering to Jonathan. One of Fernanda and Jonathan’s most memorable spats came early in their season when Fernanda discovered a pair of women’s underwear in one of Jonathan’s drawers. In her video, Fernanda revealed that she actual uncovered several indicators of Jonathan’s promiscuity, and only one of them was featured on the show: “That same week, I found a lot of stuff—not just underwear,” she says in the clip. “Sex toys, pictures, movies and stuff. Dude, you’re supposed to have left your past behind and start fresh with me. I know you’re a single man. I know that you’re older than me…but I wasn’t understanding why,” she explained. “I realized not everything is how it seems.” But Fernanda didn’t spend her entire 44-minute rant focusing on Jonathan’s possible infidelity. No, she also addressed his many other red flags, including the fact that he “likes to drink way too much” and “wasn’t careful with money at all.” “He will make good money but spend,” she stated. “He didn’t want to have a plan. He didn’t want to listen to me and I wasn’t understanding.” At one point, Fernanda alleged that she was “in a really abusive relationship,” citing a specific incident in which Jonathan got physical with her after she accused him of cheating: “I remember me looking through his office and stuff and I found a wrapper of a condom,” Fernanda recalled. “I flipped out. I literally flipped out. I yell at him and I tell him, ‘What the f–k is this?’ I was so mad. “His reaction was grab me from the neck, push me into the wall. ‘That’s not mine. You’re crazy.'” On Monday, Fernanda posted a message to her Instagram page explaining that she was forced to delete the video for legal reasons. She specified that she has not wavered in her stance and will post the video again as soon as she’s able: For his part, Rivera has issued a statement in which he denies Flores’ allegation and reveals that he intends to continue with deportation proceedings. “These allegations are completely false and my attorney will now be handling the situation,” Jonathan said. “Clearly, she will do whatever she has to in order to stay in this country.” We’re guessing this situation will get much worse before it starts to get any better.

Source: Slaven Vlasic/Getty Images Exclusive Brian Tyree Henry Interview Brian Tyree Henry isn’t a rapper but he plays one on TV–a very relatable and refreshingly complex rapper with a burgeoning career who steals scene after scene (after scene) on critically-acclaimed hit show “Atlanta.” And that’s only one of several power moves for the Emmy AND Tony-nominated North Carolina native currently having an enviable Hollywood run that started with Oscar-worthy masterpiece “If Beale Street Could Talk,” continued with Oscar-winning dazzler “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse” and carried over into 2019 with several eye-catching roles headlined by “ Joker ” and… “Child’s Play???” Yep, a next-level Chucky movie that we couldn’t wait to ask him about during the “Child’s Play” press day where we talked (and laughed) about everything from killer doll nostalgia to Black folks in Horror movies to Rihanna in our fave interview of 2019. Let’s get into “Child’s Play”–what were your first thoughts when you realized you were playing a cop in a Chucky movie? “Actually when I got the script it didn’t say “Child’s Play” on it… so I started reading it and the story was pretty damn good. It was a really cool read. And then I saw the name Chucky and I was like ‘Yo…nahhh, there’s no way..’ because I’m like a Horror movie freak–I LOVE Horror movies, it’s my favorite genre and when I got to Chucky I was like ‘Oh sh*t, this has gotta be the new Chucky’ so then I looked at my character and was like ‘oh wait, hold up, this character is actually really brave because, you know , being Black in a Horror movie they don’t really give us good characters–we’re the first people to get killed in the first three minutes of the movie… But in this movie my character Detective Mike Norris is very smart, very charismatic, is really humorous, and literally the relationship he had with his mom, and his relationship with Andy were very important to me and so I was like ‘ok cool, there’s actually a character here’ *laughs* it was something that really attracted me to it. And at the end of the day, I remember when “Child’s Play’ came out in 1988 when I was 6-years-old.. I literally remember the Christmas it came out and, at the time, there was this doll called “My Buddy” and people were going into the store and fighting over these things, man, and it was on the news and I was just like ‘I’m never gonna get one of these dolls’ and as soon as this movie came out everyone threw them away so all that consumerism you were going through to get this doll, once this movie came out it shut the doll’s sales down… and that’s kinda why I like Horror movies because there really is a commentary on the social dynamics we live in.. It really turns the mirror on you to make you confront the things we’re actually afraid of in our real lives and that’s us as a society sometimes. So once I saw this was coming my way I jumped at it because I’ve always been a huge fan of this franchise and Chucky was such a part of my life growing up and I really just liked the retelling of the story they were doing and was like ‘this is actually really fresh and really relevant to today’ because instead of it being a serial killer dropped into a doll as it used to be.. this is like an artificial intelligence… it really is programmed to know everything about your life–like, everything –there’s an upgrade you can download and that’s way more terrifying–that, to me, is way more terrifying that there’s this doll that has access to your entire life. It’s still learning and growing–you’re gonna find yourself actually caring about Chucky–I’m not gon’ lie–I was surprised.. I was like ‘I actually like this dude, I really want him to win out here’ and I really just thought that was fun. It’s been so long since we’ve had a fun Horror movie. That was one of my favorite experiences about going to the Horror movies where I grew up is like, you know, if we’re in a theater full of Black people watching a Horror movie, we are gonna talk sh*t. We’re gonna say how we feel *laughs* and when I saw this I was like ‘Oh my God, this is a callback to one of those movies where you have to have that commentary. You have to clap and celebrate–it’s fun! And I was just really happy to be apart of something like that because that’s kinda what I knew and I’m a big nerd when it comes to this so… it was like me being a kid in a candy store” We realized the legendary Mark Hamill (who played “Luke Skywalker” in the “Star Wars” saga and voiced the Joker in “Batman: The Animated Series”) was voicing Chucky and were like ‘Whoa WHOAAA’ so what was that like for you–a big nerd? “Everything I’ve been doing in my career, honestly, is my inner-nerd just losing its mind and I think that’s why I take the things that I do because I think about myself being that 13-year-old kid at my locker and thinking about what kinda pictures I would’ve taped on the inside of my locker–all of the things I’ve done so far would’ve been in my locker *laughs* so having “Child’s Play” be that other little thing–that other little piece, right there–is great and then Mark Hamill, man, I’m gonna tell you something: the emotion that he brings to Chucky and the wonder he brings to Chucky and the sinisterness he brings to Chucky is really unbelievable and I think that’s why you feel for Chucky the way you do because of him” You got Joker, you got this, you had Spider-man [Into The Spider-Verse]–did you see yourself getting into your lane so fast in your career? No! I still try to act like I don’t see that because I don’t ever want it to take away that kind of joy, that kind of wonderment of what I do. It makes me very happy and I don’t ever wanna get to a place where I’m just like ‘Ohh, you know, tick that box, tick that box, tick that box, because there’s an endless array of boxes to tick for me” How did your experience at an HBCU—Morehouse College–shape your journey (and perspective) in Hollywood? I think that–not just Morehouse in it of itself–but the city of Atlanta shaped that for me because I moved there when I was 18 and I didn’t really start getting into theatre arts until my second semester sophomore year but it was something I’ve always done even in high school I was doing speech and debate and it was always an escape for me because the plays I was told to read or the plays we were given as assignments never had characters that reflected people who looked like me. You could give me Chekhov all day, you could give me Henrik Ibsen all day, but nothing is saying I could be this young dude in Russia so, for me, it was an escape. It was fun to play these parts and run around pretending to be these men in society I was told I’ll never be because of where I’m from and because I’m Black. So, at the end of the day, when I got to Morehouse here I am looking to my left and to my right seeing other people who have the same passion as I do but then I’m also in a city where I’m looking to my left and to my right and everyone looks like me and everyone’s excelling in the same way and the city is giving me space to be who the hell I am– Atlanta literally shaped me into the person I am today and it’s because I saw in a place like that endless possibilities for us as Black people–like, endless –are you telling me I can own a store? We all got our own neighborhoods? Like, what do you mean??? So, for me, it kinda revolutionized how I saw my self within this genre and made me feel like there was nothing couldn’t do and then, here I am, in “Child’s Play” playing this detective that you actually give a damn about…that was icing on the cake” We saw you say that Rihanna made you cry and since we’re talking about Atlanta–where would you take Rihanna in the city if yall were hanging out? What would yall do? “OK, alright! I’ve actually got a chance not too long ago to meet Rihanna–I went to the Gold Party… Rihanna came up to me with open arms–she was like ‘I’ve been watching you, I’m so proud of you, thank you for giving Fenty all the love’ because I’m always reppin like ‘Yo, Fenty Beauty is the bomb, everybody needs to support Rihanna’ and as I’m going in for a hug I break her drink–I drop her drink out of her hand–and I was like ‘are you kidding me? How could you do that?’ and with such grace and poise, as Rihanna does, she’s like ‘no-no-no, don’t worry about it, it’s just a drink, what are you drinking?’ AND THEN SHE GOES TO GET HERSELF A DRINK AND ME A DRINK… So then I’m trying not to cry again but it’s that kinda thing–my inner-nerd–like of course, I made her drop her drink but it was still–I learned a lot about myself *laughs* But yea, there’s nothing greater than to see people from your generation killin’ the game. I feel like I’ve gotten to my rise watching her–like, watching us all excel in this way and its just pride, man. It really just makes me proud but I still broke her drink, though” Is there anything you can tell us about Season 3 of Atlanta? “Thaaaat, it will be back next year *laughs* but know that we’ll be coming back for sure” “Child’s Play” in theaters now!
A tlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is ensuring that the children in her city have a solid foundation for success. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution , she announced that the city of Atlanta is launching a mentor challenge in an effort to provide guidance for 100 boys. In the spirit of Father's Day, we're proud to share our partnership with Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and the City of Atlanta on the '100 Men to Mentor' initiative. What better way to honor the male mentor in your life than by becoming a Big Brother? https://t.co/c7ZcbFkStr — BBBS of Metro ATL (@BBBSatl) June 16, 2019 The initiative—dubbed the 100 Men To Mentors Challenge—is a collaborative effort between the city and the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta organization. It’s being rolled out under the My Brother’s Keeper project. Organizers are searching for mentors from different industries who can commit to meeting with their mentee a few times a month to cultivate an impactful relationship. Mayor Bottoms believes representation is a key factor when it comes to success for young men. “I know how important it is for youth in our communities to see and engage with positive male role models,” she said in a statement, according to the news outlet. “It is up to all of us to create the kind of city that we want to live in and I am confident that the men of Atlanta will answer the call to help us create a city where our boys see and believe that they can become anything they dream of being.” Kwame Johnson , President and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta believes that the program will help the youth navigate life. Mentors are needed throughout the country. According to the Youth Mentor initiative , there are 16 million children between the ages of 8 and 18 who don’t have a mentor.

Hilary Duff, Mom of Two…is on vacation and her vacation pics on social media are not vacation pics I like to see on social media… There is a glimpse of bikini, big mom tits all filled with milk spilling all over the fucking place…but it is hardly slutty enough to really have any impact or go viral.

The strange saga of Jussie Smollett began way back in January when the former Empire actor reported that he was assaulted by two white men in what appeared to be a racially- and politically-motivated hate crime. But as further details emerged, so did the holes in Smollett’s story. Eventually, it became clear that Smollett was assaulted by two black men who had previously worked as extras on Empire . Despite mounting evidence that he had misled authorities, however, the case against Smollett was mysteriously dropped , much to the chagrin of Chicago police officials and then-mayor Rahm Emanuel, who spoke out against the state’s attorney’s decision. On social media, Smollett’s supporters rejoiced in the dismissal, while many decried what they viewed as a gross miscarriage of justice. Now, it looks like critics of the decision may have cause for celebration, as a Chicago judge has ordered a special prosecutor to be appointed to investigate the handling of the case. While it’s prosecutors, not Smollett himself, who are being investigated, the inquiry could land the 37-year-old back in court on criminal charges. “If reasonable grounds exist to further prosecute Smollett, in the interest of justice the special prosecutor may take such action,” the judge wrote in his order. The judge added that he reached the decision to effectively re-open the investigation as a result of “unprecedented irregularities identified in this case.” It was State’s Attorney Kim Foxx who dismissed the charges against Smollett the first time, but Foxx later recused herself amid allegations that she had spoken with several prominent figures — including Michelle Obama’s former chief of staff — about the need to acquit Jussie. The judge says the ensuing disarray resulted in a mishandled and incomplete investigation. “There was no master on the bridge to guide the ship as it floundered through unchartered waters,” he wrote. “And it ultimately lost its bearings.” Smollett has yet to publicly respond to the judge’s decision, but you can bet his legal team is gearing up for another fight. And on Twitter, of course, the battle has already commenced. You can bet the war or words between the bitterly divided factions will once again be a brutal one. And whatever conclusion the special prosecutor reaches, it’s sure to spark controversy. We’ll keep you updated on this developing story as more information becomes available.
