Recently, the former midwest rap sensation posted videos of himself rehearsing for the upcoming “Millenium Tour”. This was both exciting for fans, and concerning after they spotted the atrocity on top of his head. “Gimme what you got for a porkchop” must’ve been the words Chingy uttered to his barber right before he recently cut his hair. What is this hairstyle??? Look at this! Is this the haircut YOU want to see on Chingy on the tour???? Hit the flip to see how Twitter has been unapologetically dragging Chingy by his dusty follicles and how he responded. It’s pure comedy.

Honestly…we aren’t sure why CNN or MSNBC hasn’t popped her into a square as a talking head to help break down what’s going on in watching for her audience. Check out Cardi’s musings on the government shutdown and Trump’s general…Trumpness. Cardi definitely has her own unique brand of delivery, but we detect no lies. Gladys Vega/Getty Images
The Super Bowl Half time show controversy continues to roll on. Some of our favorite artists turned down the prestigious performance. People like Cardi B and Rihanna turned it down to stand in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick. When news broke that Travis Scott was on board to join Maroon 5 the hip hop community clapped back quickly. Early reports said that Travis and Colin had a conversation and Kaepernick “Okayed” the performance. It was easy to assume that was part of his plan because Travis made the NFL agree to donate $500,000 to a social justice organization. Well friends close to the Ex NFL players are setting the record straight about the conversation between Travis and Colin. Reports are saying that the timeline tells a better story of what happened. TMZ is reporting that Travis received the offer from the NFL and before he accepted he and Colin jumped on a call about the situation. Sources close to both of them said that the conversation was cordial but they agreed to disagree. Colin urged Travis not to perform at the Super Bowl but Travis ultimately made the decision to opt with performing. Once outlets begin to report that they had a conversation and Colin gave Travis is blessing, his girlfriend and radio personality Nessa SHUT THAT DOWN!

He’s saying they aren’t engaged…even though they allegedly just did an engagement photo shoot and we’ve heard him refer to her as his wife before. Hmmm I’m not sure I’m buying this one… via: TheYBF TMZ reported people from the GQ production team spilled tea that Nipsey and Lauren are already engaged, but they want to keep it underwraps. It’s reported the photos the couple snapped on Saturday were “definitely engagement photos .” Well, Nispey says otherwise.

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Joe Budden has long since been retired from torching microphones as a rapper, and now presides over one of the most popular podcasts online today. On that said podcast, Budden once again said that he’d welcome a challenge from CyHi the Pyrnce and said he would end the G.O.O.D. Music artist’s career in the process. The beef between CyHi the Prynce and Joe Budden began when the podcast host took shots at the Atlanta rapper over his allegiance to Kanye West’s Summer 2018 album rollout that he was curiously missing from. Budden then egged on the beef in saying that a line CyHi spit in a promotional video that suggested that he should have been in Budden’s former Slaughterhouse crew and putting up $500,000 to challenge his rival was out of the No Dope On Sundays rapper’s budget. In last Saturday’s episode of The Joe Budden Podcast , Jumpoff Joey took off the Media Joe hat and got into his rapper bag for a bit, stating quite explicitly that CyHi doesn’t want the smoke, the beef, or the fixings with him on any level. In his response to co-host Mal suggesting that Budden might be ducking CyHi, Budden said he would shut down the podcast and get back in the booth to end the beef once and for all. Check out The Joe Budden Podcast in where Budden gets into why CyHi the Prynce isn’t ready for the smoke with him. Hit the 53:00-minute mark and let it rock. — Photo: Getty

Over the weekend Love & Hip Hop star Alexis Skyy blasted Blac Chyna , claiming the ex-stripper was cool one second and started bugging out the next…all at a party both ladies attended. According to Skyy, Chyna threw a drink, at which point the altercation turned into a physical fight. On Monday, Rob Kardashian posted Skyy as his #WCW —despite her very recent beef with his baby moms—and hours later Skyy was cooking Rob a full course meal at what appeared to be Kris Jenner ‘s home. He claims he wasn’t being petty , though.

In case you missed Alexis Skyy’s account of what went down between her and Chyna, here’s her side of things: “I am, like, the nicest person in the world,” she began. “I’m sitting down, minding my business. Somebody said, ‘Yo, Chyna is at the party, she wants to kick it wit you.’ So I went over there, I sat with her, we kicked it, we had a drink or two.” “After the second drink we had some Red Bull,” she continued “…and out of nowhere this b*tch starts, ‘B*tch, you gotta get the f*ck up out of my section.’ I said, ‘Who the f*ck are you talking to?’ She’s like, ‘You gotta get up right now.’ So at that point, she starts throwing a drink…we start throwing hands. So from there on, whatever happened, happened. I got kicked out.” Do you think Rob Kardashian had dinner with Alexis Skyy just to throw a shot at his ex? Photo: WENN
Ashley Martson has taken the next step in her hopeful recovery from kidney failure. But it still sounds as if the 90 Day Fiance star has a long way to go. Just days ago, Martson revealed to fans that she had been hospitalized after being found unresponsive at her home. It was determined she is in acute kidney failure due to lupus. Open, scared and vulnerable, this is what Martson wrote at the time on Instagram: I’m sorry if this photo offends anyone but I will not hide that I’m sick. If I can help one person with lupus then posting this is worth it. I was found unresponsive this morning at my home. The Ambulance took me to the hospital where it was found that I am in acute kidney failure due to lupus. I will begin dialysis shortly. I will not let this beat me. I know I’m strong enough to battle through this,not just for myself but for my kids. I will be transferred to another hospital this evening that is better equipped. Please pray for myself and my family as I know it’s going to be a very tough road ahead for all of us. Thank you for your continuous support and prayers. And now, along with a photo of the word “Update,” a friend of the TLC personality kept Instagram followers apprised of Martson’s status as follows: Ashley underwent surgery where they placed a catheter into her abdomen. This is for access site to begin peritoneal dialysis today. Doctors are hopeful that dialysis will be temporary and that it will aid in helping her kidneys repair themselves. There is a chance she can go home tomorrow and be looked after by home health care nurses. Please continue to pray that this works and that Ashley will not need a kidney transplant. Either way Ashley will be down for quite some time. It’s also worth noting that husband Jay Smith is currently by Martson’s side. This would simply be assumed for most couples, but Smith admitted to cheating on his wife late last year. It’s been unclear since whether they are together or separated. Along with the above photo of his hand in hers, however, Smith acknowledged his infidelity on Monday and wrote to/about Martson: “I may have hurt you. I may have not been a good husband. Jumping on a plane the second I found out you was in the hospital was something I didn’t even think twice to do. “We have our differences but as long as I have life I will never let you sit alone and suffer. I love you and nothing will ever change that. Thank you for having me here to support you.” Martson was previously hospitalized in December due to complications from lupus days. In that case, the health scare took place after an episode of 90 Day Fiance that centered on how she caught Smith cheating on her by messaging other women after their wedding. Has the couple put this mistake behind them for good? Or have they merely tabled their major issues until Ashley gets better? We can’t say for certain at this time. Elsewhere, however, a GoFundMe page has been set up to assist Martson with her medical bills. More than 104 people have donated in the past two days, raising $2,295 ofits stated $10,000 goal. This is what the campaign says on its home page: She will be out of work for months without any financial support. She has two children that she is responsible for as well as the typical bills for her home and car. Medical bills are piling up and she is in need of help. I know this is very hard for Ashley to ask for help but at this point she has run out of options. Please find it in your heart to donate to Ashley and her children so she can focus on getting well and not stress over finances. If you are unable to donate please pray for Ashley and her family. Thank you to everyone for their support during this hard time. I’m sure Ashley would love any cards or letters to help her pass the time in the hospital and at home.

Rihanna is suing her dad Ronald Fenty for the trademark “Fenty.” According to The Umbrella singer her father is trying to use the likeness that her career created to profit off of their last name. In the lawsuit documents Rih claims that her father started an entertainment company and was conducting business improperly which looked bad on the “Fenty” brand. He also tried to create hotel resorts under the name “Fenty.” Rihanna claims in the lawsuit that he even tried to get Fenty trademarked but obviously Rihanna owns alll of that! She’s suing her dad saying that although she received his last name, her career created the world known brand of “Fenty.” We’ll see how that pans out.

Source: Derrick Salters/WENN.com / WENN Rihanna has never had the closest relationship with her father, and it looks like things are just heading more downhill for the Fenty family. News broke today that the makeup and music mogul is suing her dad, Ronald Fenty, along with his company called Fenty Entertainment, for exploiting her name for his own gains. According to court docs , Rih claims that her father created the entertainment company and has been soliciting business acting as agents of the singer. Rihanna claims that her father booked a $15 million tour in Latin America and two concerts at the Staples Center in LA and the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for $400,000, for which she says she has no involvement in. Rihanna, who has multiple business endeavors under the Fenty name including Fenty Beauty, Savage X Fenty, and Fenty PUMA, says she sent several cease and desist letters to her father and his partner, but is now suing him as a last resort. Even though suing your father seems harsh, Rihanna isn’t the only celebrity that’s had to handle some tough situations against family members. Here’s a list of some more celebrities that got an unfortunately close look at how money–and a lot of other things–can make family turn into foes. 1. Kanye West VS. His Cousin Kanye West hasn’t been quiet about having to pay his cousin $250,000 for a laptop–in songs alone, he mentions the situation more than once. He first addresses the scenario in “Real Friends,” basically admitting that his cousin extorted him with some adult videos on his laptop. “ I had a cousin that stole my laptop that I was f***in’ bi***es on Paid that n***a 250 thousand just to get it from him” On the same album, on “No More Parties In LA,” West makes it known that he has no hard feelings toward his cousin even after having to give him a quarter million. “And as far as real friends, tell all my cousins I love ’em Even the one that stole the laptop, you dirty motherf***er” Well, not exactly no hard feelings. But the love is still there, because they’re family. 2. Jay-Z VS. Solange Not exactly a fight over money, but like Beyonce says, “of course sometimes s**t go down. When it’s a billion dollars on an elevator.” Legend says that Solange was being protective of her sister and came at Jay-Z after his cheating allegations came to light–but of course, that information isn’t going to make it out of the Knowles-Carter household. One thing’s for sure: Bey wasn’t doing anything to stop her sister from throwing some punches, so it’s a pretty good assumption that Solange was stepping up on her sister’s behalf. Hov actually spoke on the infamous elevator fight on the Rap Radar podcast back in 2017, but he didn’t elaborate on the cause. He explained: “We had one disagreement ever. Before and after, we’ve been cool. She’s like my sister. I will protect her. That’s my sister, not my sister-in-law. My sister. Period.” Nobody wins when the family feuds. 3. Kobe Bryant VS. His Parents It’s not surprising that multiple celebs have had to deal with family members trying to capitalize off their success–and Kobe Bryant knows exactly what that is like. The former Lakers star had such a big problem with his parents auctioning off valuable memorabilia they kept at his house that he decided to take them to court. They finally reached a settlement which allowed his parents to auction only six of the items, which was 10% of the original listing–which would still sell for more than $500,000. The items included items such as Kobe’s old school uniforms and replicas of NBA championship rings he had made for his parents as gifts. They were given $450,000 up front for the sale lot from Goldin Auctions, which they then used to buy a house in Las Vegas. After the settlement, both his parents made a public statement as an apology to fans and their son. 4. Frank Ocean VS. His Dad Frank Ocean’s situation with family lawsuits is a little bit different than the rest on the list–because the star is actually the one being sued. The singer’s father, Calvin Cooksey, sued Ocean for libel and is currently seeking $14 million. The whole thing started when the singer told a not-so-flattering story about his father in a Tumblr post . “I was six years old when I heard my dad call our transgender waitress a f****t as he dragged me out a neighborhood diner saying we wouldn’t be served because she was dirty. That was the last afternoon I saw my father and the first time I heard that word, I think, although it wouldn’t shock me if it wasn’t.” Frank’s father denies that this exchange ever happened. “I have never discriminated against anyone transgender or heterosexual or homosexual,” he wrote to Rolling Stone . “The events that defendant describes on June 21st 2016, that I called a transgender waitress F****T NEVER HAPPENED … The defendant is a scam artist, a fraud and a hypocrite who deceive[d] the LGBT community.” This lawsuit between Frank and his dad is still ongoing. 5. The Kardashians VS. Their Stepmom Even though family feuds are pretty tough to imagine, it’s a lot easier to see how a family would have a poor relationship with one of their step-parents. Ellen Kardashian was married to Robert Kardashian Sr. before his untimely death, so she had personal items belonging to the Kardashian children–which included their personal journals and private photos. The family ended up later suing her for copyright over these items and wanted $500,000 in damages because they claimed she hid them. The family ended up settling in 2014 while the diaries and photos were returned to the Kardashians.
