Cardi B once again didn’t disappoint. The cardi experience is the elite experience. The rapper had fans raving about her headlining set, which was complete with a special guest, an impromptu wig snatch and plenty of twerking. She even took a moment and SNATCHED her wig off and threw it into the crowd. I GOT CARRIED AWAY …….I want my wig back:/ Dm me . pic.twitter.com/YPAmSbb9uP — iamcardib (@iamcardib) July 6, 2019
Source: Leon Provost / Radio One Houston Be careful what you wish for. Remember in March when YesJulz came under fire for being the culture vulture anti-black spectacle that she always is? Remember how Daniel Caesar came flying to her defense like your mother’s brother Thomas? Remember how he put out an IG video daring black people to cancel him? Well, fast forward to July and Daniel has released a surprise album like he thinks he’s Beyonce. The album, Case Study 101, only managed to sell roughly 3,000 copies with 22,000 streams according to The Grapejuice , which is…not great. Some will point to this as a result of Caesar begging to be canceled, but it probably has more to do with the fact a surprise album coming out while other highly-anticipated albums are dropping doesn’t usually bode well. He probably isn’t canceled or boycotted…but Twitter is still going to roast his a$$ for his sales. Right? Right. Take a look… Daniel Ceasar’s tap dancing ass album is flopping?? pic.twitter.com/cktjLlucAU — PHoxy Grandpa (@_Petty_Wap_) July 5, 2019

Just a few days ago, Joy-Anna Duggar and her husband, Austin Forsyth, shared some unbelievably tragic news: When they went in for the 20 week scan for Joy-Anna’s pregnancy, the doctor couldn’t detect a heartbeat. Miscarriages typically happen during the first trimester, but for some reason, Joy had one halfway through the gestation – and it was clear that she and Austin were absolutely devastated by the news. Thankfully, as they explained in their social media posts about the news, they’ve been able to find some solace in their faith. “Although we don’t understand why,” they wrote, “God has given us unexplainable peace and comfort during this very difficult time.” “Yes, it still hurts and we have cried countless tears, but we know that we can trust the Lord.” They also revealed that during the scan, they learned that they were going to have a daughter , and that they named her Annabell Elise. As for the meaning behind the name choice, they said “Annabell means ‘God has favored me,’ and Elise means ‘God satisfies.'” “What a precious thing to know that when our daughter opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the face of Jesus.” Along with their written post, they also shared a photo of Joy in a hospital bed with Austin comforting her. The next day, they shared even more photos, including some with their late daughter . Those are the ones we’re going to be discussing today. In the caption of the photos, Joy wrote “We only had her for 20 weeks, Life is fragile and precious.” “So thankful the Lord gave her to us for that short time! She will be in our hearts forever!” She also thanked her followers for their love and support, and her best friend, Carlin Bates, “for coming to town to be here for me and for doing my hair and makeup for pictures with our little girl!” They didn’t share a photo of Annabell — the most you can see of her is a hat covering her head as Joy holds her. But because she was in the photos at all, and because of Joy’s comments about having her hair and makeup done, a lot of people are feeling a lot of feelings about all of this. As one of their followers said, “This is a very private moment for y’all to be sharing it … sad. Y’all are different.” “OK, that needed to be a private moment,” another Instagram user agreed. “Not something that you get your hair and makeup done and dress up a miscarriage. We are all praying for you but REALLY. Get real!” One person went a step further, commenting “Honestly it seems a little sadistic to me to have a full on photo shoot with a deceased baby, just for likes on the internet. I could never.” Another particularly insensitive comment read “Hair and makeup to take pics with your dead baby?! Jesus sweetheart your families priorities are disgusting.” These are just a small sampling of the comments on Joy and Austin’s Instagram post, but similar things were said in several places across the internet where the Duggars are discussed. And it’s honestly not OK. The loss that Joy has experienced is huge, and one that not everyone will go through. You can judge the Duggars for all sorts of things, but you can’t judge them for she’s grieving now. It’s not uncommon for people to do photo shoots like these to remember the only time they’ll be able to see and hold their child, and if Joy wanted to look nice for such an unimaginably tragic occasion, what harm does it really do? Besides, so many women have already thanked her for, as they see it, being brave enough to share such personal photos because they too have had similar losses, and it’s nice to know they’re not alone. Some may have a hard time looking at these photos, and that’s understandable. View Slideshow: 33 Stars Who Have Suffered a Miscarriage Others may not be able to comprehend why she’d want these photos, let alone why she’d want to share them with thousands upon thousands of strangers, and that’s fine too. But we can let the girl grieve, can’t we?

B lack entrepreneur Don Peebles is investing in the futures of women and people of color in the real estate industry. According to The Real Deal , he’s launching a $500 million fund to support developers from underrepresented groups in South Florida, Los Angeles, New York and other cities.

WARNING: The following photos are both heartbreaking and disturbing. In many ways, however, they are also very important. Days after Joy-Anna Duggar and husband Austin Forsyth revealed to the world that the former recently suffered a miscarriage , meaning they had lost their expected second baby, the Counting On stars posted two new pictures on Instagram. Each features the husband and wife cradling their stillborn daughter. It’s tragic, but true: Because Joy-Anna did not lose the child until her 20th week of pregnancy, she actually had to give birth to its corpse. We hate to be so blunt, and we truly cannot comprehend what this must have been like, but it’s simply what sadly transpired for Joy-Anna. “We only had her for 20 weeks, Life is fragile and precious,” wrote Joy-Anna, and Austin as a caption to these images, adding: “So thankful the Lord gave her to us for that short time! She will be in our hearts forever! Thank you all for your love and support! “We can feel the prayers! Thank you, @carlinbates98 for coming to town to be here for me and for doing my hair and makeup for pictures with our little girl!” Joy-Anna and Austin, who are already parents to one-year-old son Gideon, talked candidly about the awful news that they lost baby-number two in a black and white Instagram photo on Wednesday. Here is the photo: And here is what they wrote: Today marks one week since we heard these words… “So this is your baby’s heart (pointing to the ultrasound screen). I don’t hear a heartbeat or see any movement.” We had gone in for our 20-week ultrasound and gender reveal. It was a baby girl. Although we don’t understand why, God has given us unexplainable peace and comfort during this very difficult time. Yes, it still hurts and we have cried countless tears, but we know that we can trust the Lord. In the words of King David after the loss of his baby, “I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me” (2 Sam 12:23). We don’t grieve as those who have no hope because we trust that we will see this little one again. We named her Annabell Elise. Annabell means “God has favored me”, and Elise means “God satisfies”. What a precious thing to know that when our daughter opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the face of Jesus. Please pray for continued healing, not only physically but for our hearts as well. In response to the miscarriage, many loved ones have sent their condolences to the TLC personalities. “We were so sad to hear that Joy and Austin’s baby girl passed away mid-way through their pregnancy,” Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar wrote on Instagram in response to this news, adding: “The pain of losing a child is unimaginable. Yet, for the one whose hope is in God, there is a peace that surpasses our finite understanding. “We pray that God will comfort Joy and Austin and carry them through this difficult time.” Added Jessa Seewald: “@AustinandJoyforsyth our hearts are breaking over your loss. Such beautiful words you’ve written in your post. Annabell will forever be in our hearts. We love you all and are praying for God’s peace and comfort during this time.” And Anna Duggar: “Austin and Joy we love you both so much and my heart aches for your loss, we look forward to meeting Annabel Elise one day in heaven!” And even Tori Roloff of Little People, Big World fame chimed in as follows: “I am so sorry. You are in my prayers. How blessed she is that she gets to be with Jesus and she gets to call you two mom and dad.” Austin and Joy-Anna had announced they were expecting again on May 1. “Our favorite math is addition and we are very excited to share that the Forsyth family is adding a member!” they said at the time, continuing: “Marriage and being a mom and dad to Gideon has already far exceeded our expectations. “We are looking forward to loving another little one and seeing what special dynamic he or she brings to our family. Table for 4 sounds perfect!” We send our thoughts and prayers to the couple during this tragic time. View Slideshow: The Duggars: Who’s Courting? Pregnant? Next In Line? [MORE UPDATES!]
