Source: Ashish Tiwari / EyeEm / Getty Share Summer is slowly approaching, in a turtle-like manner, but still warm weather is on its way. Allegedly. With warm weather comes more drinks, brighter smiles, good tans, and of course a lot less clothes. However, there is one article of clothing many people seem to agree should not come off, regardless of how hot it gets outside. According to a ton of people currently chatting on Twitter, men should keep their socks on and not show their toes in flip flops. Do you agree? It’s that time of year again, folks. I’d just like to remind my fellow men that flip flops and jeans is not an acceptable combo in any circumstances. — David (@daveisonfire) April 18, 2018 Hit the flip to see what people had to say about male feet. But before you go, remember Jay Z rapped on his song “On To The Next One:” “Yeah I got on flip flops, white Louie boat shoes/Y’all should grow the fuck up, c’mere let me coach you.” This, of course, was after Cam’ron dissed him on “You Gotta Love It,” shouting on the track “Open toe sandals with chancletas with jeans on…how is the ‘king of New York’ rockin sandals with jeans and he 42 years old?” Petty much?

Source: Cindy Ord / Getty *Whitney Houston voice : Wendy, Wendy, Wendy. Once again dabbling in the land of messy, this time for some comments you made about an iconic gospel group — The Clark Sisters. On your show Wednesday, you brought up Snoop Dogg ‘s chart topping gospel album Bible of Love and instead of just ending on a positive note, you went and questioned whether The Clark Sisters ever got a #1 album. Your follow-up response was not pretty. A refresher below: Now, if you thought the good Christian folks (or music lovers in general) were going to let you say anything about a massively influential group, you thought wrong. Everyone from Michelle Williams , to Kirk Franklin , to Nick Cannon came knocking at your door. The Clark Sisters……one of thee most INFLUENTIAL groups of ALL TIME!!!!! Sampled, borrowed from, imitated by groups and singers of alllllllll genres!!! Most recently sampled by Jay Z on the album 4:44 on the song Family Feud. #FACTS — Michelle Williams (@RealMichelleW) April 18, 2018 I would be nothing without the CLARK SISTERS. I’m not even in the same category. I’m just now getting to where they started. Salute. — Kirk Franklin (@kirkfranklin) April 18, 2018 And Karen Clark Sheard ‘s daughter Kierra Sheard (also a great singer) was definitely available to defend her mom and aunties. Oh how your words have turned the messiness into a blessing. Outrage for your statements have peaked so much that a #BringOutTheClarkSisters hashtag started trending on Instagram. The movement is even helping The Clark Sisters’ album Live – One Last Time rise on the iTunes chart. See how God works Wendy. But in the spirit of forgiveness, let’s just take this as a “you know not what you do” moment. Social media on the other hand…they might need some time before they ride the forgiveness wave. Swipe through for some more Clark Sisters appreciation and Twitter reactions that prove Wendy messed with the wrong ones!

On Thursday, Mr. West took to his beloved social media account to make a big announcement about his album, and then kept dropping bombs thereafter. Take a look at this series of tweets, where Kanye goes from dropping one piece of big news, to giving up a whole lot more than people were expecting. my album is 7 songs — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 19, 2018 June 1st — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 19, 2018 Ye is dropping his next album on June 1, and it’s 7 tracks long.

That's the name of our group — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 19, 2018 Yep, Kanye West and Kid Cudi are dropping a project together, and the name of their group is Kids See Ghost. It goes without saying that people are freaking out over this plethora of information, and we can only hope that Kanye continues to tweet out some more unexpected announcements. It looks like we’ll be getting a lot of new Kanye within the coming months.
Earl Gibson III/Getty Images Michelle Williams Engaged To Chad Johnson Michelle Williams is getting married! The Destiny’s Child songstress is announcing her engagement to her (chiseled) Christian cutie Chad Johnson after 1 year of dating after meeting at a spiritual retreat. Michelle and Chad spoke exclusively with PEOPLE about their forthcoming wedding and according to Chad who’s the official chaplain for the Pittsburgh Steelers, he’s destined to start a family. “The biggest desire in my life is to have a wife and kids.” Not only that, Chad started planning their wedding the day after he proposed… “She was like, ‘Can we just revel in the moment, relish the feeling? ‘And I’m like, ‘Let’s go, let’s go!’” says the pastor. “It’s gonna be … think James Bond-meets-Midsummer Night’s Dream — with a little hood in it [laughs]. It’s gonna be very traditional. We’re doing black-tie. We want it to be small and intimate and very private.” and added that he hopes their swirly coupledom will bring a message of hope in the Trump-era. Yes, in case you didn’t know Chad Johnson is white. “I’m white, she’s black,” says Johnson. “What a special time for our relationship to be on display in that respect with the tension in the world and in our country.” “Don’t lose hope in love,” says Williams. “I do think you should not focus so much that if you’re not in love that you get depressed about it. … Just don’t lose hope. But definitely be doing what you can do to make yourself a better person for the person that possibly is on the way for you.” Ain’t sweet Christian coupledom grand??? Congrats Michelle, what do YOU think about Michelle Williams and her fiance Chad Johnson???
Source: Justin Horrocks / Getty Weddings are special moments for everyone involved — but Black weddings take the word “celebration” to a whole new level. Everyone has that one aunty who thinks she’s better than the rest of the family, but you still love her to death. Or the cousin that comes to the wedding just to critique everything from the food to the music. Comedian Cousin Al made a video that so accurately describes Black families at weddings that you’ll swear he knew your entire family personally. Which family member are you? via GIPHY
Source: Cole Burston / Getty People are continuing to be inspired by Drake ‘s “Nice For What” release and this time the art world is taking notice. Painter Richard Wilson caught a look at the music video and one image in particular inspired him to paint a whole wall. The image he saw turned out to be Yara Shahidi and the ironic thing is, Richard didn’t even know who she was before he painted the London mural. He had to ask folks on the gram about this woman who served as his muse. “Since then I find out she’s an amazing role model for young women in particular and has a huge following,” he said in an Instagram post. “It’s really cool cos this wall is pretty random, the path it’s on is used by parents taking their kids to school, cyclists, some alcoholics and dog walkers. Definitely not a place i’d have painted Yara if I knew. Excuse my ignorance not knowing who she was, but i learnt a lesson that you don’t always need to go big, it’s been a fixation for me lately tbh to find BIG walls only, but maybe the content is the key, just like everything always.” Despite Richard not knowing who Yara was, she definitely approved the painting. She reposted it on her page and now it’s been liked by thousands of people. Seems like all is well that ends well. You can check out the finished painting below, along with Richard’s touching words on the future generation!

With all the female rappers that are taking the game by storm, there is always room for newcomers that step into the limelight and attract some viewers. This applies true for the South West Detriot dweller SouthWest Mook. In a recent interview with Bossip , she told them that she could be facing anywhere from 3 – 20 years. Mook is undergoing a case that could put her away for some time but still aspires to pursue her passion for music. With all the walls closing in on her she still spends endless hours in the studio perfecting her craft. We got word from her manager Propane that she as real as they come. Listen below to hear one of her most recent releases. In 2014, Southwest Mook survived a life-threatening gunshot wound to the chest. At the time she was a fugitive and spent part of her recovery time handcuffed to a hospital bed before being transferred to the slammer. When she bonded out of jail, she continued to record new material and released a mixtape entitled Free Gas under her label 4242, the home address where she once hustled. She also opened up for YFN Lucci and Yo Gotti, which helped to raise her profile. But it wasn’t until she dropped a pair of freestyles, “Quiet Storm” and “Must I Remind You,” along with visuals that caused her talent to go viral. She instantly garnered the attention of artists, producers, DJs, entertainers and label execs like Slim Jxmmi of Rae Sremmurd, Mike Will Made It, DJ Kay Slay, Mike Epps and P of Quality Control, respectively. Eventually being granted permission to travel out of state, Southwest Mook flew to LA at Slim Jxmmi’s request due to his curiosity to meet the woman behind the venomous verses. Southwest Mook has to carry out a stint behind bars beginning in the spring of 2018 for her past mistakes, but not before legitimately serving the streets with new music. By mixing genres and blending all the experience she’s accrued to date, her twisted life story has also become her superpower. We never wish Jail on no one but hopefully, there is a lesson to be learned here, Southwest Mook seems to be very talented with her bars and has a real distinct sound that could possibly get picked up by a major label later in the future but for now she’s walking in with her head held high knowing that when she comes out her fans will still be waiting for her.
