OTR2, Jay-Z, and Beyonce’s co-headling world tour has exceeded expectations. Billboard is reporting that the Carters’ co-headlining event racked in $253.5 million. That’s around $144 million more than what the original earned in 2014. Jay and Bey kicked off the tour with 18 stops in Europe, followed by 30 more in North America after the couple released their Everything Is Love album. The nine-track album won Album of the Year at the BET Hip Hop Awards. Bey and Jay’s tour, which featured special guests DJ Khaled and Chloe x Halle, reportedly sold 2,177,000 tickets over its four-month run, with each show grossing an average of $5.28 million. In just Atlanta’s two-night stop of the show, they grossed $14.1 million. Who would’ve known??? The tour ended earlier this month with a final show in Seattle. Beyonce said she was happy to share this last show with fans. Now she can get some rest, love on her kids and count her money with her hubby! Congratulations to them. Did you attend any OTR2 shows??? Was it worth the money?
W ith early voting underway in several states, voters have been fighting against a growing list of alleged voter suppression efforts by Republicans. In one of the latest examples, Democratic voters on Monday in an Arkansas county were not able to cast ballots for the party’s secretary of state nominee. See Also: Georgia Isn’t Even Trying To Hide Its Racist Voter Suppression Efforts With This Video Republicans—fearful of the impending Democratic blue wave—were desperately using every trick in the book to retain control of Congress and state governments. Suppression efforts targeting Black voters have already been seen in Georgia , where Stacey Abrams could make history as the first African-American woman governor. Voting rights advocates joined a lawsuit Tuesday against Georgia election officials for the unusually high rate of absentee mail ballot rejects. Republican shenanigans at the polls were not limited to targeting Black voters directly but also Democrats in general. In Arkansas, Garland County election officials had to close three early voting sites on Monday because the Democratic nominee for secretary of state Susan Inman was left off of ballots. The Garland County Election Commission left Susan Inman, the Democratic candidate for secretary of state, off the election ballot. Early voting began without her as an option. Sites had to be shut down. Inman says the glitch left her in “sheer disbelief.” https://t.co/5327njPV68 — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) October 23, 2018 Also on Monday, five students at Prairie View A&M University, an HBCU , sued Waller County in Texas for allegedly suppressing Black voting rights the Texas Tribune reported. Election officials there violated the federal Voting Rights Act by not providing any early voting locations on campus or in the city of Prairie View, according to the plaintiffs. “There is no legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for defendants to deny opportunities for early voting during the first week to plaintiffs and black voters in Prairie View on an equal basis with other non-black voters of Waller County,” the lawsuit states. Yesterday, we filed a suit in federal court against election officials in Waller County, Texas, who have refused to provide any early voting location on the campus of Prairie View A&M University, a historically black university.

In Tennessee, Democratic Party leaders found several problems at early voting sites across the state. The list includes poll workers rejecting some registrations if the applicant didn’t check the Miss/Mrs./Mr. box, as well as electronic voting machines that didn’t allow voters to select the candidate they wanted or switched candidate selections. “What troubles us is it seems to be favoring one party and one type of voter over another. It seems to be suppressing voters that would vote for Democrats, voters of color,” party chair Mary Mancini told the Commercial Appeal .

Season Six of 90 Day Fiance is upon us, and the new couples bring something new to the table: babies. Some couples on this series will make you believe in love again. Others will make you plead with your screen for them to break up. Quite frankly, some of the more toxic couples might just deserve each other. We've already seen the 90 Day Fiance Season 6 trailer , but now we're learning a lot more about these couples. 1. Jonathan and Fernanda Jonathan is a 32-year-old native of Lumberton, North Carolina, but when he met 19-year-old Fernanda in a club in Mexico, he extended his vacation to spend more time with her. Three months later, he proposed. 2. But . . . They have a 13-year age gap and one of them is literally a teenager. They’re both adults, but hooking up on vacation is very different from getting married. Fernanda’s youth definitely comes up, while Jonathan is learning to leave behind his bachelor lifestyle. 3. Ashley and Jay Ashley (32) and Jay (20) met while she was in Jamaica for a friend’s wedding. They struck up a conversation on social media afterwards, and then she went back to visit him again. He proposed to her after only 8 days. 4. But … On top of the age difference between these two, there are concerns by Ashley’s loved ones that Jay may be a cheater. He certainly seems crazy about Ashley, but is it love or lust? 5. Colt and Larissa on 90 Day Fiance Colt is a 33-year-old Las Vegas native who hasn’t had the best luck with the ladies. Then he met 31-year-old Larissa of Brazil on social media. They met up in Mexico, where Colt proposed after only 5 days together. 6. But … In the nicest terms possible, Colt has been single for so long for a reason. Part of that is that he is a grown man who is accustomed to being taken care of by his mother. Will Larissa get along with his mom? Also, at least some of those closest to him think that Larissa has an ulterior motive. View Slideshow
On Saturday, Jenelle Evans was rushed to the hospital after being assaulted at her home in North Carolina. While details of the incident remain scarce, it's been widely assumed that Jenelle was attacked by her husband, David Eason. In the days since news of the altercation went public, however, Jenelle went into damage control mode and attempted to sell a version of events in which Eason is not the culprit. Fans aren't buying it — and it looks as though Jenelle may have decided it's easier to hide out for a while than to try and convince them: 1. Angry Eason Eason’s temper is notorious, so when word got out that police and an ambulance were called to Jenelle’s home in response to an assault, fans quickly jumped to the conclusion that he had attacked Jenelle. 2. Damning Evidence It has not been confirmed that Jenelle is the victim, but according to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, a woman made the 911 call and informed the operator an assault had taken place. 3. Downplaying the Severity According to officials, Jenelle declined the services of EMTs, but was transported to a nearby hospital in “a private vehicle.” 4. Saving David Shortly after news of the incident went public, Jenelle set about the business of trying to convince fans that there’s no cause for concern and that David is innocent of any wrongdoing. 5. A Strange Defense Jenelle hired someone to issue a statement claiming that her injuries are the result of an accident, and the whole thing is a big misunderstanding. 6. A Party Gone Wrong? “Reps” for the reality star told People magazine that Jenelle and David “had friends over Saturday night and they had a bonfire on her property.” View Slideshow
Building a better community is no easy task, and Rick learned the hard way on Sunday’s episode that he was not going to be able to blend these communities in the way he hoped. The episode was all about the revival of the bridge which was obliterated thanks to a storm. Without access, it was difficult to make supply runs, so it had to be fixed. While Aaron and Daryl were chatting as the communities rallied to fix the bridge, a fight broke out between Henry and a Savior named Justin. Henry was tasked with giving water in exchange for hard labor, and Justin did not want to play by the rules. But Henry proved that there would always be a punishment, so he knocked the man off his feet with a stick. As expected, it resulted in a full-on battle between everyone on the bridge. Rick arrived and was unimpressed that these people could not work together to secure the future of the blended community. Daryl continued to have doubts and told Rick that the Saviors would actually be an asset to them down the line if they’re already causing trouble. Daryl left the scene immediately when Rick defended why they were doing it, and it was down to Carol to let Rick know that he might be dreaming if he thinks any of this is going to work. Tensions were still high at the Hilltop following Gregory’s well-deserved execution. Tami Rose was not allowed to see her husband Earl for his involvement in the plot to kill Maggie. It didn’t stop Tami from trying to get more people on her side to turn against Maggie. The true shocker was that Jesus was not fully on board with Maggie. “I don’t know if she hanged Gregory for everyone, for herself or both,” he shared, “but I’m not against a grieving mother seeing her husband.” Instead of fully turning against his friend, Jesus went to Maggie to find out where her head was truly at. He admitted that she was going way too far by ostracizing Earl and that there would be some pushback. These decisions were ballsy, according to him. This gave Maggie some food for thought, and she agreed to let Tami Rose visit her husband. Once his wife was gone, Earl got a visit from Maggie who wanted to know more about him. Earl was desperate to know why Gregory was the one who was killed, but Maggie skirted around giving an answer. It turns out; she wants to hold her cards close to her chest. “What I did to you was in me,” Earl confessed. “Gregory didn’t make me do anything.” Okay then. Things took a wild turn when thanks to a siren not being sounded, the walkers showed up at the bridge, and the unarmed Saviors were sitting ducks. Jed was scared to death, and let go of the rope he was holding … allowing all of the lumber to crash down and trap Aaron’s arm. Rick managed to dispatch of most of the walkers, but there was no saving Aaron’s arm. Daryl tried to make sense of what went down and opted to blame Justin. He was supposed to sound a siren to send the walkers away, but he didn’t. His defense? The walkie-talkie was dead, and Daryl was not buying it. He went all in kept hitting the kid before Carol showed up to tell him to quit the BS. Back at the Hilltop, Maggie and Michonne got into it over the recent decisions. “We can talk about common laws, but I’m not giving up the right to do what I think is s best for my people,” Maggie said to her friend. They continued to bicker, and Maggie relented that she did not regret wiping Gregory out because he was a danger to everyone. Meanwhile, Justin continued to prove he was a loser when he lashed out at Rick, trying to throw all the blame on him for what went down. “Stitches won’t fix what I do to you,” Rick yelled after telling him to get the eff out of the Sanctuary. As for Aaron? He did not blame Rick for losing an arm. Instead, he said that his friend was a beacon of hope. “You changed all that, Rick. It’s not the end of the world anymore; it’s the start a whole new one,” he said. Rick closed off the hour by visiting his nemesis, Negan. “It was a hard day,” Rick said. “People were at each other’s throats… [But] when the day was done, they came together. Not all of ’em. But enough.” “That’s a real pretty picture you paint there,” Negan responded. “When do I get to see it?” “You’re gonna die behind these bars,” Rick snapped. In all honesty, if the likes of Jesus is worried about Maggie, then there’s a good chance she’s going to be relieved of her duties before long. That could lead to her running off with her child or worse; she could be killed off. This is The Walking Dead! What are your thoughts on the episode? Hit the comments below.

As evidenced by the Kim Kardashian sex tape , at least one cast member on Keeping Up with the Kardashians knows a thing or two about how to handle a rod. This was relevant on Sunday night because former Major League Baseball superstar Alex Rodriguez, often referred to by the nickname “A. Rod,” made an unexpected cameo on the popular reality series. Can’t say we saw that coming. Also the boyfriend of Jennifer Lopez, Rodriguez was on hand to help the ladies with their baseball skills in anticipation of a charity game that was held to raise money for the Watts Community Center. This is an interest in which Kris Jenner has often decided to devote her time and interest. The big and very poorly-played game pitted the Kardashian family — including Kim, Kourtney, a then-pregnant Khloe, Kris and Kendall — against family pal Tito Jackson and his loved ones. The Kardashians called themselves the Calabasas Peaches due to the movie A League of Their Own… and they were very much in a league of their own terriblenesss. “The Jacksons have to go down,” Rodriguez said in an attempt to coach the women up, adding: “Dear God, let us all play like New York Yankees.” (Editor’s Note: The Yankees just lost a playoff game by a score of 16-1 and a series to their hated rival, the Boston Red Sox, so perhaps playing like the most recent version of the Bronx Bombers was not a great idea.) Editor’s Note 2: A. Rod is a giant tool.) In the end, the Jacksons thrashed the Kardashians, with Kim going down on strikes faster than she went down on Ray J in the aforementioned sex tape. “We should just hand over the check now because we suck,” she later said. Still, the game raised $15,000 for a charity that helps underprivileged kids.’ “I can’t wait to celebrate all the hard work that was put into the community center,’ said Kris as the family toured the kitchen, sports facilities and computer center at the facility. Elsewhere, Scott Disick and Khloe Kardashian played a pretty dumb prank on Kris by pretending that a talented artist named Art Vandelay had made some paintings. They then dropped these paintings off at Jenner’s house and watched as she wandered around her house, wondering where to hang them. So much for her so-called expertise in the world of expensive art, right?!? Disick and Kardashian were intent on embarrassing their snobby loved one, but soon realized they had maybe gone too far. “We have to break it to her that we’re completely lying…and basically giving her fraudulent paintings,” Disick noted in a confessional. Over dinner at Nobu that evening, they allowed Kris to schmooze with the fake artist before they dropped the bombshell that she had been had. “What? No!” Kris yelled upon learning that the paintings had been created by Khloe in her garage. “You are pieces of sh-t…you had me this time!” Jenner boomed. Finally, because the writers are truly out of storyline material, Kourtney ordered a DNA test. “Oh my God I’m Middle Eastern and North African!’ said Kourtney, who was also “4.5 percent French.” “I’m so white,” complained Kendall, while Khloe added: “I’m 41.5 percent Middle Eastern.” Fascinating, right?

Source: George Pimentel / Getty Drake has been the talk of the town all day since releasing a brand new track titled “Mia” with Bad Bunny . The up-tempo record features Aubrey singing in Spanish, as Bunny follows up with a long verse of his own. The visual, released simultaneously, sees both stars enjoying an evening block party, equipped with dancing, hookahs, and a game of dominoes. Bad Bunny feat Drake – “Mia” But 2018 is far from Drake’s first time teaming up with a Latin-American superstar. Back in 2013, Drizzy teamed up with former Aventura lead singer Romeo Santos for “Odio,” in which the Canadian also showcased his Spanish singing skills. This initial collaboration was especially fitting following the lyrics from Drake’s 2011 smash hit “The Motto,” where he rapped, “Spanish girls love me like I’m Aventura.” What foreshadowing. Romeo Santos feat Drake – “Odio” Though Drake is known for his ability to “adapt” into other cultures like they’re his own, he’s not the first–and won’t be the last–to experiment with some bi-lingual singing skills. Let’s take a look at other huge stars who have crossed over into collaborations with Latin sensations. Before Romeo and Drake came Romeo and Usher . Mr. Raymond doesn’t actually show off any bi-lingual chops on his track “Promise” from Romeo Santos’ 2011 album Fórmula, Vol. 1 , but the collaboration was a big deal for both artists, nonetheless. Romeo Santos feat Usher – “Promise” We can’t talk about North American pop-stars crossing over without talking about Justin Bieber . The Canadian heartthrob hopping on the remix to Daddy Yankee & Luis Fonsi’s “Despacito” is probably the most successful Spanish crossover of all-time–and with the original video boasting 5.5 billion views on Youtube, it’s one of the most successful singles ever, in general. Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee feat Justin Bieber – “Despacito (Remix)” Keeping it in the family, Luis Fonsi’s brother Jean Rodriguez is actually the one who coached Beyoncé on her Spanish chops before she hopped on J Balvin’s “Mi Gente.” Though the release of this song (and Bey’s involvement in it) had everybody freaking out, this wasn’t Mrs. Carter’s first time around the block. The superstar has made her fair share of Spanish remixes to her very own songs including “Si Yo Fuera Un Chico (If I Were a Boy),” “Oye (Listen),” and “Irreemplazable (Irreplaceable).” J Balvin & Willy William feat Beyoncé- “Mi Gente” Though it wasn’t a collaboration with a Latin musician, Kendrick Lamar paid tribute to his Los Angeles roots by rapping his a$$ off en Español for his feature on labelmate Schoolboy Q ‘s track “Collard Greens.” Schoolboy Q feat Kendrick Lamar – “Collard Greens” Those five aren’t the only North American artists to dabble in some Spanish, check out these honorable mentions to get well-versed in the bi-lingual world of American music.

N ewly minted Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh ’s approval of voter suppression laws was not needed in a high court ruling on Tuesday which allowed a state to enforce its voter ID requirement for the 2018 elections. See Also: Brett Kavanaugh’s First Supreme Court Cases Will Seriously Affect Black America The court declined to overrule an appeals court order that permitted North Dakota to require government ID at the polls, The Hill reported. A group of Native Americans had challenged the ID requirement. Looking ahead, Kavanaugh brings a record on voter suppression cases that makes the court even less sympathetic to the concerns of people of color. Indeed, during his confirmation process, People for the American Way, a progressive advocacy group, warned that Kavanaugh “will threaten hard-won protections for the right to vote.” “The question is not whether Justice Kavanaugh will move the court in a more conservative and hostile direction on constitutional and civil rights, but instead how swiftly he will do so and how sweeping will the court’s rulings be,” Kristen Clarke , president and executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, said in a statement to NewsOne . These two Supreme Court cases being heard this week by Brett Kavanaugh will seriously affect Black America. https://t.co/sHqBzd41CN pic.twitter.com/T2XCom8iVv — NewsOne (@newsone) October 8, 2018 The Native American group argued that the ID law disproportionately affected their population because a significant number of Native Americans live on reservations without standard address required to obtain the IDs. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg filed a dissenting opinion, which Justice Elena Kagan joined. As an appellate court judge, Kavanaugh “demonstrated his lack of commitment to racial justice” in a 2012 South Carolina voter ID case, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights said. Kavanaugh wrote an opinion for a three-judge panel upholding a South Carolina voter ID law that was objected to by the U.S. Department of Justice because of the significant racial disparities in the law’s photo ID requirement, the Leadership Conference explained. The ruling affected approximately 60,000 nonwhite voters who were previously registered.
