The new mommy/RHOA alum was a guest on “The Real” this week and she talked her motherhood journey and the “conversations” she’s had about returning to “Real Housewives of Atlanta.” Most importantly, however, she brought her beautiful baby girl Brooklyn Doris Daly out to make her television debut. Kenya’s uncle brought out baby Brooklyn and Kenya’s Detroit sister Loni Love was moved to tears. According to Kenya, baby Brooklyn is a “symbol of hope” for women who want to have families. Mind you, Kenya gave birth to baby Brooklyn at 47. How…cute…is…baby…Brooklyn?! Kenya also showed off her daughter’s adorable footwear.

Source: Joe Robbins / Getty Cowboys Running Back Ezekiel Elliott Will Pay For Jaylon McKenzie’s Funeral Expenses This past weekend, the family of Jaylon McKenzie was struck with grief when the star football player was killed at a party. Now, Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is stepping in to cover the funeral expenses. According to ESPN , Elliott, who grew up in St. Louis, reached out to McKenzie’s family soon after the eighth grader died. He wanted to keep the matter between him and the family, but the Cowboys confirmed that Elliott was paying for their funeral expenses. “Zeke is really a special guy,” coach Jason Garrett said on Wednesday at the team’s sponsors’ golf tournament taking place at the Cowboys Golf Club. “He’s a great football player obviously, but he’s a really good person and that doesn’t surprise me one bit.” Garrett continued: “He’s just very generous. He’s got a great spirit about him. We see that every day as players and coaches. Anybody that’s been around him knows that, and it doesn’t surprise me one bit that he would get involved there. He’s someone that a lot of people look up to, a lot of people certainly in St. Louis and Missouri, Ohio State, all across the country. If you’re a fan of football, you know Zeke Elliott, and anybody who’s been around him on a daily basis knows what kind of person he is.” McKenzie’s mother, Sukeena Gunner, explained that her son was about to leave a party in Venice, Illinois when a fight broke out. According to Illinois State Police, McKenzie was hit by a stray bullet and eventually died at a local hospital. The eighth grader was already becoming a star athlete with college scholarship offers. He was also picked to compete in the All-American All-Star Game in Canton, Ohio, during the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction weekend. His sudden passing was truly a tragedy. Good to know there’s athletes out there supporting the family in their time of grievance.

We couldn’t be more excited for the second season of Netflix original series “She’s Gotta Have It” based on the Spike Lee movie of the same name. Check out the trailer for Season 2 below: We LOVE it that Nola and Opal are still loving each other — at least for part of the season anyway! And for those of y’all who’ve never seen it (HOW SWAY?) here’s the synopsis: A seriously sexy comedy and rousing celebration of female empowerment, She’s Gotta Have It Season 2 offers a timely and topical portrait of rising talents, with free-spirited artist Nola Darling (DeWanda Wise) at the center. Struggling with newfound success this season, against a backdrop of black art and culture, Nola must decide if she will remain true to her creative ideals or give in to the corporate world. Her journey of self-discovery helps transform the lives of those around her, including friend and sometimes lover Mars Blackmon (Anthony Ramos), who sets out to pursue his true passion of music as well as her inner circle of Opal (Ilfenesh Hadera), Greer Childs (Cleo Anthony), Jamie Overstreet (Lyriq Bent), Clorinda Bradford (Margot Bingham), Shemekka Epps (Chyna Layne) and Winnie Win (Fat Joe). Their journey expands to new destinations this season beyond their home base of Fort Greene, the vibrant Brooklyn enclave, that continues to evolve and change as gentrification remakes the neighborhood. Created by Spike Lee who also executive produces the series alongside Tonya Lewis Lee, all nine episodes of Season 2 will be released on May 24, 2019.

Source: Streeter Lecka / Getty Artist Sixmau Blasts J. Cole For Breaching Agreement Over Cover Art The artist that created the masterful cover art for J. Cole’s KOD album has a HUGE bone to pick with him after he says Jermaine stiffed his pockets. Sixmau aka Kamau Haroon blasted Cole for allegedly being misleading in their agreement. Kamau insists Cole never made it clear that he would be replicating the artwork for tour merchandise and scoring millions off of it, while he made zero merch bucks. Kamau wrote on Twitter over the incident: “I did all the creative direction for the KOD album and he told me my work was only going to be used for booklet art . Only to turn around and make merchandise illegally with my art behind my back and profit majorly off it while on tour. F-ck them.” I did all the creative direction for the KOD album and he told me my work was only going to be used for booklet art. Only to turn around and make merchandise illegally with my art behind my back and profit majorly off it while on tour. Fuck them. https://t.co/GpsKkBkmgO — six (@theykilledsix) May 8, 2019 THIS IS EXACTLY HOW HE IS ABLE TO EXPLOIT PEOPLE. HIS MESSAGE OF POSITIVITY MAKES THEM FEEL COMFORTABLE WHILE HE FINESSES THE MONEY BEHIND THEY BACK. https://t.co/fgixuVNWKe — six (@theykilledsix) May 8, 2019 Sixmau added that he was comfortable making a verbal agreement with Dreamville and J. Cole to license the art because his “message is of positivity.” To make matters even worse on his end, the painter claims he is on the verge of homelessness after having a trying year. Sixmau retweeted the following tweets, reinserting that he wasn’t compensated after his work was plastered over thousands of t-shirts and hoodies and he’s struggling financially. If y’all didn’t know J.Cole stole money out of the mouth of the artist @theykilledsix that painted his album cover. Cole used the artwork on tour merch without the artist’s permission. The original artist got no cut of the money made on merch. FOUL ASF. — Flex Luther (@gabreupp) May 8, 2019 All this shows me is not to do verbal agreements. I need it in writing. You cool with people and expect them to hold down their word smh but nah people will deadass take advantage. — Flex Luther (@gabreupp) May 8, 2019 View this post on Instagram just some lil doodles I been working on A post shared by @ sixmau on Apr 22, 2018 at 3:23pm PDT So far, J Cole has not responded to Kamau’s allegations against him.
