Kanye West goes off on Nick Cannon , Drake , and Tyson Beckford. There are videos on Kanye’s Instagram account where he does into detail about why he has problems with Drake, and Nick Cannon. He says Drake has been alluding to the rumors that he’s had sex with his wife, Kim Kardashian in his music and that doesn’t sit right with him. Nick Cannon who once dated Kim Kardashian came out in an interview earlier this week discussing his relationship with Kim and how she talked about her insecurities with her nose amongst other things. Kanye would just like these fools to keep his wife’s name out of their mouths at the end of the day. None of us think that, that is too much to ask.

Between people being upset about Colin Kaepernick being black listed from the league to the NFL actually implementing the no kneel rule to for the anthem people are TIRED! Reports surfaced that pop band Maroon 5 were rumored to be this years Super Bowl’s halftime act…and people weren’t feeling it. People took to social media to discuss how tone deaf the NFL’s pick was considering all that’s happened in the past two years. It tipped people over the edge especially because the Super Bowl is in Atlanta this year and there were several home town acts to choose from.

Waka said there’s too many talented Atlanta artists to choose from to go with Maroon 5. The NFL has not confirmed if Maroon 5 is their actual half time act but typically when rumors speculate that’s usually their performer. Waka ultimately believes their decision says a lot about their tone deaf tendencies. Close Thank you for subscribing!

Photo by Katherine Frey/The Washington Post via Getty Images The Postal Worker Pleaded Guilty For Her Actions One U.S. Postal Service worker was stealing all the dollars while on the job. According to New York Daily News , Ebony Lavonne Smith of Wisconsin pled guilty to stealing checks and cash from over 6,000 greeting cards. The 20-year-old admitted to taking the money as part of a plea deal earlier this month. She started her job working for the USPS in March 2015. In the summer of 2017, residents within Smith’s assigned zip codes started complaining that they weren’t receiving their cards. Online court documents explained that Smith was caught stealing after a test card containing a $20 bill was placed in her container to be delivered on her route. The envelope for the card held a transmitter that would activate if the card was opened. Postal authorities kept a close watch on Smith as they were investigating. Reports say she even looked through other mail routes’ trays to take out greeting cards for her own tray. In Smith’s vehicle, a company satchel containing 31 USPS greeting cards was found, along with 23 other greeting cards, a Starbucks gift card, a roll of tape and letter openers. Smith told authorities she started stealing when she began her route in Washington Highlands. She used the money to pay bills and to support her four children, according to documents. According to ABC News , at first, Smith was stealing $40 a week over one to two days, . But this eventually increased to between $50 and $100 a week. Smith also admitted that she used the tape found in her vehicle to reseal some of the cards. Smith was fired from her job earlier this year. “The vast majority of U.S. Postal Service personnel are dedicated, hard-working public servants dedicated to moving mail to its proper destination [and] who would never consider engaging in any form of criminal behavior,” public information officer for the postal service Jeff Arney said. “This type of alleged behavior within the Postal Service is not tolerated.” Cards that were found will be sent to the original intended recipients, according to Arney. Anybody else who wants to claim a loss can do that through the court process.

Source: Kevin Kane / Getty When you think of Atlanta, you think of T.I., you think of a Welcome to Atlanta medley with Jermaine Dupri and Ludacris. You think of Gucci Mane, Future, Jeezy, even the Migos. But one thing that I would never think of when referring to Atlanta is Maroon 5. But the NFL doesn’t care what we think. Maroon 5, which is a great band by the way (we love Adam Whatshisname), has been tapped to headline the halftime show at the 2019 Super Bowl. As much as we love Adam though, he doesn’t make us think of Atlanta or even want to visit Atlanta. The NFL made a questionable decision. We couldn’t be the only ones who had feelings about the halftime show so we decided to check Twitter for reactions. It looks like we weren’t alone.

The latest installment of American Horror Story: Apocalypse was heavy on the rubber, but light on the witches. We kicked things off with Michael Langdon parading around Outpost 3 with hair that looks very similar to what his mother had all those years ago. He wasted no time in asserting his power in the lair, and Venable was livid. If you watch American Horror Story online, you know that Venable had a lot of rules about sleeping arrangements. Primarily, she did not want anyone in the Outpost sleeping with each other. For those at home yelling about how it won’t be possible to repopulate the Earth, we hear you. Timothy and Emily decided they wanted to have fun, and by that, they wanted to sleep with each other. It’s the end of the world, so why not? They weren’t buying what Venable was selling about abstinence, so they broke into Michael’s room and found a conveniently placed laptop. There, they found emails between Michael and The Cooperative. That’s when they found out that Venable was lying about not having sexual contact. Venable was furious when the two teenagers went forward and had sex with each other. Venable ordered their deaths, but Timothy and Ash fought back. Miriam wound up shot, but there was something amiss with her flesh. Is she even a real person? As for Michael, he had a lot of sexual chemistry with Mr. Gallant, so much so that it seemed he was dressing up as the Rubber Man from Murder House and having sex with him. But Michael was adamant he was not the one dressing up, and that he should try to find out the truth on his own. Evie, Mr. Gallant’s mother, witnessed the sex between him and the Rubber Man and took the news to Miriam and Venable. The pair tried to whip him to get the answers, but they realized when they looked down that he was getting off on the pain. In a truly stunning shock, the Rubber Man showed up again, but Mr. Gallant opted to stab him because he was done with the mind games. That’s when we learned that Evie had been body-swapped and was dead at the hands of her grandson. Well, at least she won’t be ratting on him any longer. Elsewhere, Michael confronted Venable for lying to everyone about the rules, but Venable was not ready to back down. She said that she was sent the rules, and she was following them. However, she did not have a copy of them at hand for Michael to cast his eye on. Michael said that he was the one who sent the rules, calling her bluff. Oh, yes, there’s a power struggle between these two, and we’re all in for it. View Slideshow: Grey’s Anatomy Spoilers: It’s About to Go DOWN in Season 15 While the episode had a lot of action, the preview for it claimed the witches would make their entrance into Outpost 3. That did not happen, and the only excuse for that is that FX was trying to stop the typical week two drop the franchise has been known for. What are your thoughts on this installment? Hit the comments below. American Horror Story continues Wednesday on FX!
A magician never reveals his tricks. But a magician has now revealed what it feels like to be crowned the winner of America’s Got Talent… … because Shin Lim took home that honor on Wednesday night. With 10 finalists battling it out on stage until the final vote, Season 13 came down to Lim and singing group Zurcaroh, with the self-taught 26-year old eventually coming out on top. Much to his own complete shock. “I can’t speak right now,” Lim said after he was named the champion and tackled his fellow finalists. They all picked him up and put them on their shoulders after the announcement was made. “When you told me at 16 that an awkward, shy kid would one day be performing at the Dolby Theatre performing on America’s Got Talent, I wouldn’t have believed them,” he added. “To compete on AGT, it means the world to me.” The very impressive magician not only took home the $1 million prize — but will also headline the America’s Got Talent Live stage at the Paris Theater in Las Vegas from November 2-4. Lim’s parents hail from Singapore. He was born in Canada and currently lives in Acton, Massachusetts and he blew viewers away through sleight of hand magic and close-up tricks. For his finale, Lim performed a card trick with host Tyra Banks and American Ninja Warrior co-hosts Matt Iseman and Akbar Gbaja-Biamila. At various points in the competition, Howie Mandel and Simon Cowell called Lim “the best close-up magician they have ever seen.” (He’s second magician to win America’s Got Talent, following Mat Franco on Season 9.) At age 20, four years after the started to learn the art of magic, Lim was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. This forced him to gave up his piano career, as he dropped out of the School of Music at Lee University in Tennessee and put all his time and effort into his aspiring magic career. After perfecting a number of tricks simply by studying YouTube videos, Lim appeared twice on Penn Jillette and Teller’s magic competition show, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, in 2015 and 2017. He also took his talents overseas, including gigs in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand, Scandinavia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, and Taiwan. After his victory, Lim said he took Cowell’s advice to heart and moved away from the card table to make his show appear even bigger and more dazzling. He’s thankful to the judge for offering up this tidbit and pushing him toward the grand prize. “I learned so much going away from the table. It’s harder because it’s something I’m uncomfortable with. So, I really feel like I now have the confidence to build on it,” he said. The finale performance “was my way of growing as a magician, and I think I’m going to follow that path of getting bigger and having a full show.” Congratulations to Shin Lim! Do you think he deserved to win? Or do you remain shocked that singer Courtney Hadwin didn’t go all the way?

Source: Photo by C Flanigan/Getty Images / Getty Once again, Nicki Minaj has the Twitter-verse riled up and this time a major fashion brand is connected to the chaos. Diesel recently announced that Nicki would be one of the faces for its Autumn/Winter 2018 “hate couture” campaign used to combat cyberbullying. Different stars, including Nicki, Gucci Mane , actress Bella Thorne and model Jonathan Bellini have been recruited for the campaign. In a video Diesel posted to their social media, the most hateful messages these stars have received on social media are etched into the design of their Diesel apparel. Thus Nicki’s shirt reads “The Bad Guy” (It’s still up for debate if people actually call her this or if she just gave herself the name herself). You don’t make online hate disappear by hiding it. Introducing #DieselHateCouture feat. @nickiminaj @bellathorne @gucci1017 @tommydorfman @milesdheizer #BarbieFerreira #BriaVinaite #YooAhIn #JonBellini #YoVentura #FW18 . . Director #jovantodorovic Stylist @markymarcmode pic.twitter.com/XXpI9BrsZZ — Diesel (@DIESEL) September 18, 2018 Proceeds from the sale of the limited-edition clothing items will reportedly go to anti-bullying programs at the OTB foundation according to The Business of Fashion. Though the campaign seems to have good intentions, folks across the Internet couldn’t help but notice a tiny issue in the selection of stars. Nicki Minaj has been accused of some major bullying. The most notorious instance came when cultural critic and Twitter user Wanna Thompson critiqued the subject matters in Nicki Minaj’s music a few months back. Instead of starting a conversation on Twitter like Wanna had hoped, an army of Nicki-crazed Barbz came after Wanna like she was the village plague. “I wouldn’t wish this on my worse enemy,” Thompson told The New York Times back in July. After Nicki fans came for Wanna’s life via social media, emails and even phone calls, Nicki herself contacted Wanna and it wasn’t pretty. She slid in Wanna’s DMs and called her everything but a child of God. “Eat a di** you hating ass h*” and “ugly ass” were just a few of the words Nicki aimed at Wanna. Sounds like a bully, no? When Wanna heard the news of Nicki’s Diesel campaign, she was just as confused. @DIESEL is making a mockery out of cyber-bullying. There are countless organizations and individuals doing their best to combat the issue and instead of enlisting them you get Nicki Minaj? So irresponsible and counterproductive. — Wanna (@WannasWorld) September 19, 2018 Then, let’s not forget the accusations Cardi B made about Nicki after their notorious run-in during New York Fashion Week. In an Instagram post, she accused Nicki of lying on her and telling other artist not to work with her. Though it’s not certain that Cardi’s accusations are true, one has to ask what would provoke a woman enough to send her shoe flying across a fashion event. Nicki even gave Travis Scott a “Ho* Ni**a of the Week” award on her Queen radio show when she was critiquing his record sales and number one spot on the charts. Despite all this controversy, of course the Barbz still weren’t bothered… Nicki Minaj is a marketing genius! Sis really flipped this “Bad Guy” narrative and now has a Capsule Collection with Diesel that is going to inspire and uplift so many people who have been beaten down by the words of others. — Pink Queen Tingz (@pinkqueentingz) September 18, 2018 Even Diesel seemed to hold strong in their partnership with Nicki. “We’re here to support anyone who’s getting hated on, and Nicki is one of them,” Diesel wrote in response to some fan criticism. We’re here to support anyone who’s getting hated on, and Nicki is one of them. — Diesel (@DIESEL) September 19, 2018 Well if we’re going with that logic, anyone can be apart of this campaign! When should we expect our phone call? Other parts of the Internet were over the partnership as well. Hit the next pages to peep what folks had to say!
(Photo credit should read ANGELA WEISS/AFP/Getty Images) Nicki Minaj And Diesel Get Dragged Well, someone in marketing is going to be looking for a job soon. The folks at Diesel have decided to put together an anti-bullying campaign using celebrities like Gucci Mane and…Nicki Minaj? Word? Either this is a big prank or one of the biggest mishaps in marketing history. Nicki Minaj has been accused of bullying during her entire career. She allegedly hopped in a woman’s DMs this summer, demeaning her. She’s been accused of sic’ing her army of maniacal fans on people who disagree with her and criticize her actions. She’s been called one of the biggest bullies in the game so this decision is…weird. Nicki is on an entire cyber bully campaign as if she not only got someone fired from their internship & but her fans have been harassing that woman even to this day with death threats, mean comments about her child, & trying to find out her address — diet stud (@dankbonn3t) September 19, 2018 Okay, it’s worse than weird. Take a look at Twitter’s reactions and they aren’t pretty.
