During a sit-down interview with Rupaul, the ‘Beauty Marks’ singer says she’s never spoken openly about it before, but after 33 years together her parents divorced.

Currently, both her mom and dad are remarried.

The Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood star was arrested on Saturday morning for allegedly driving drunk—and the fact that her car only had 3 wheels was the initial giveaway. According to reports, Mari was pulled over after cops saw her coming out of the Midtown Tunnel into Queens in a red Dodge Charger, which allegedly sparks shooting from the front of the vehicle. What cause said sparks? One of the front wheels (the one on the right) was missing. Per the New York Post , Mari drove a mile through the Queens-Midtown tunnel after her right front tire dislodged. Bridge and tunnel cops actually gave chase as Mari’s car sparked through the tunnel. After coming to a stop, cops did a field sobriety test and it was only downhill from there. She reportedly blew 0.304 into the breathalyzer, which is 3 times the legal limit. Besides a DWI she was hit with a violation of court-ordered ignition interlock, illegal tinted windows, illegal operation of a vehicle, unlicensed operator of a motor vehicle, and more, per the cops. Mari has been publicly battling alcohol abuse issues .

W hen a group of high school seniors from New York learned that their classmate Ilijah Barron would be missing prom due to his ongoing battle with bone cancer, they were determined to make sure that he could experience the special day. Since Barron was unable to attend prom, the Liverpool High School students joined forces and organized a celebration for him at the hospital, Syracuse.com reported. Liverpool senior ball comes to hospital for student battling cancer (video, photos) https://t.co/nxBjn7dsJv — syracuse.com (@syracusedotcom) June 22, 2019 The 19-year-old was diagnosed with a bone cancer called osteosarcoma. This rare disease typically impacts the arm and leg bones. Prior to his diagnosis, Barron played on the varsity football team. Two years ago, he began experiencing severe pain in his legs. Initially many people thought the pain was a result of playing sports, but after several tests doctors discovered a tumor in one of his legs. He was diagnosed in February and has been in and out of the hospital ever since. Barron was planning on going to his senior ball but ended up in the hospital two days before the event. With the help of his mother Nelisha , his friends were able to organize a prom celebration for Barron at Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital. They all dressed up in gowns and suits and transformed the 11th floor of the hospital into the perfect backdrop for a prom celebration. The group listened to music and ate food from Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. Barron was moved to tears by the effort made by his friends to make sure that he would be able to experience prom. “I loved it,” he told the news outlet. “It was the most special moment ever. Having everybody there, all my friends. And it was my first high school dance.” Barron is not letting cancer get in the way of what he wants to accomplish. He still supports his school’s football team and has continued to excel academically. “I never sat down and said, ‘Why me?’” he said in a statement , after being named a Young and Amazing award recipient. “There’s no point in that, because it was only going to hurt me in the long run. Staying mentally positive about it came easier.” SEE ALSO: Black Teacher Gives Students Haircuts For Graduation Black-Owned Barbershop Pays Off Debt For Students In Charlotte [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3880863″ overlay=”true”]
Source: Christopher Polk / Getty Images for Queerty / Getty Gay Rapper Blames Blac Chyna For Stalled Music Career Is Blac Chyna to blame for robbing gay rapper Andre Xcellence of his big break? Xcellence told Page Six the duo were planning to make music, but that Chyna ghosted him after he spent thousands putting the project together. “I was her gay. We were friends for a couple of years. I have a recording studio. She came in for some sessions with her team and we became fast friends. She knew my music and was a big supporter,” he told Page Six. Xcellence says Chyna came to him about her music career when she was “blacklisted” by the Kardashian family. “I was there the day that the Kardashians sent her a ‘frenemy’ cake to her house. She was so upset and talking about how mean they were to her and I believed it. I believed her and all of her nonsense,” he said. WAYMENT… A “FRENEMY” cake? Andre says he recorded a song with Chyna called “What Would Yo Momma Say” and the two were planning to shoot a video. “She came up with the treatment and idea. She wrote herself into the concept. I went ahead and found investors and I spent $35,000,” he claims. “She showed up for rehearsal but never came to the shoot. It was supposed to be a big breakout moment with her and we would’ve been doing LA Pride and then she backed out,” he said. “She disappeared and told me months later she’s not doing music right now.” Soooo basically Chyna ditched ol’ boy and went to LA Pride with Wendy Williams instead. “I thought she was my friend,” lamented Xcellence. “She wouldn’t do this to a straight rapper. Because I’m the ‘gay artist,’ the little guy, she thinks there are no repercussions,” he said. Meanwhile, Xcellence says he’s planning to drop another video for a track he recorded called, “Break A Bi**h” which makes Kardashian references like “I’ll break a bi**h like Chyna did Rob/like Caitlyn did Kris.” “I am going to release the video . . . Chyna specifically asked me not to because it would damage her relationship with the Kardashians even further,” he said. Sounds like a hot a** mess. Chyna didn’t seem to be sweating the situation at all this weekend. Hit the flip for photos of her on the LA party scene.

I think I was yelled at by Janelle Monae the other day…but that could have been someone else at the grocery store….which seems to be the only place I socialize… Janelle Monae, not my Grocery Store clerk, is some high concept performer who you can tell thinks she’s an artist or performer or important…and that is irritating…but when stripped down to show their true self, you know what look like half naked, you can clearly see she’s average at best…so as important as she thinks she’s is, it doesn’t take away from how uneventful her bikini pics are… I don’t really believe her storyline – where she was raised working class, with a Janitor mother and Truck driver dad, in Kansas…only to end up at some Performing arts school in NYC…which all broke people can afford…..then in 2001 she made her way down to Atlanta where Outkast signed her and mentored her and gave her a career…I just think there is more to the story, you don’t just call Outkast and say “sign me”….and when you’re broke…you don’t just move from Kansas to NYC for school. Just another lie from some asshole trying to make her story more interesting so you buy her shitty music…or look at her in her shitty bikini….
