What better place to air out your dirty laundry than a nationally syndicated television game show? Blair Davis, a contestant on Monday night’s episode of “Wheel of Fortune,” used his introduction with host Pat Sajak to tell viewers he’s “trapped in a loveless marriage” to an “old battle-axe.” Join Our Text Club To Get The Latest Music, Entertainment, Contests And Breaking News On Your Phone. Text MAGIC to 23845 to join! He went on to describe his family, saying his “old battle-axe named Kim” cursed his life with three stepchildren and one grandson who he describes as “rotten.” Sajak has apparently heard worse because Davis’ admission didn’t trip up the legendary host one bit. “No wonder you came here,” Sajak joked. “You just wanted to get away from everybody,” before telling Davis he knew he was “being facetious.” Still, Davis, a San Diego native, says he loves his family “like nobody’s business.” Check out the cringeworthy moment below.

Source: Getty Images TYGA?!?!? Signs Multi-Million Dollar Deal With Columbia Records Tyga’s name has been ringing off all year in our sub-conscience. We all remember Soulja Boy’s viral rant about Tyga not having the biggest comeback of the year, which sparked elite memes and viral videos that lasted for months. Then, there was the recent wave of the rapper being accused of hanging out with his billion ex-girlfriend Kylie Jenner following her break-up with Travis Scott, sending people into a frenzy thinking he was clobbering her lip-injection cakes once again. Reality is, he was probably just following her around to get the paparazzi talking so he could cash in on some clout tokens. It was just last week Tyga sent everyone on Instagram into a frenzy after posting a picture with his new Ferrari and a pair of Travis Scott Jordans on his feet . We aren’t mad at you king, use the attention to your advantage. And use it to his advantage he did, as Tyga just secured a new record deal. After his past few years in partnership with Empire–which gave us hits such as “Taste” with Offset and others–Tyga is taking his talents to Columbia Records. Columbia has recently hit their stride with such successes as Russ and Lil Nas X over these past few years. Those two artists alone have sold more records than most labels’ entire rosters. Oh, and let’s not forget: they’re already home to Beyonce & Adele. All jokes aside, Tyga has been selling records for almost 10 years now, but the reason for this signing is that he’s now looking to expand his worldwide reach. When asked about the signing, Tyga exclusively told Variety : “They definitely understand the global brand,” he says of the company. “I have a lot of fans worldwide — in places I’ve never been like South America, and in places I have been like Asia and Europe. They can help bring that to a larger scale. Doing it independently, you don’t really have those teams to help worldwide. Sony, if you look at the history from what they’ve done from Pharrell to Beyonce to Adele — then you look at Lil Nas X, one of their new artists that’s blown up this year — they’ve done a lot for artists globally, for their brand. That’s why I wanted to partner up with them.” With the his recent string of hits ,Tyga should do great with the addition of a Major Label not named Cash Money Records.

We already showed you the 90 Day Fiance Season 7 teaser trailer , showing off seven brand new couples. One of those couples was Emily and Sasha, and their sweet story is already bogged down by some baggage. See, Emily is Baby Mama #3 for the 31-year-old fitness trainer. Do these two make it to the altar? Or will Sasha's past drag him back to his other children in Russia? Couples split or reconcile even after filming ends, but take a look below and see everything that we know right now: 1. We already know that Emily is pregnant with Sasha’s baby In fact, we now know that Emily gave birth to Sasha’s child, David Alexandrovich, in November of 2018 — in Russia, before traveling to the US. 2. And yes, we know that Sasha is hot Sasha’s real name is Alexander, which means that Sasha appears to be a nickname. Also, while his hotness instantly appealed to Emily, she’s not the first, which is why they’re in all of this trouble. He has two babies with two different exes. 3. Hear his first ex-wife tell it Already the mother of his child, she describes how he got another woman pregnant and he reported it to her. 4. Sasha asked for a divorce He wanted to marry baby mama #2 … and thus needed the divorce. Notably, Emily is Baby Mama #3 and was not yet in the picture. 5. And along came Emily Emily, of course, had no idea. Sasha was just some obscenely hot dude she met in a gym. He became her personal trainer, she became his tutor, both of which are pretty standard porn premises. And then she got pregnant. Whoops. 6. But here’s their backstory So, in late 2015, Emily graduated with a degree in English Education … and moved to Volgograd, Russia at the beginning of 2016 to teach English. It looks like she and Sasha began dating in June of 2016, and they were all lovey-dovey on social media by late summer and early autumn of that year. View Slideshow
Farrah Abraham is … well, she's just a lot. And sure, they may not be very descriptive, but you know exactly what we mean. It's been two years since she left Teen Mom OG, and since then, things have definitely taken a turn, which is impressive since it's not like she was the most stable human when she was still on the show. But now that she no longer has the steady MTV gig, she's doing all sorts of wild and crazy stuff for money. Like this new thing where she's pretty much just asking dudes to pay her $5,000 for an evening with her … 1. Such a History There have been rumors about Farrah being an escort for a good long while now — years, really. 2. A Stroll Down Memory Lane We’re not sure exactly when and how they started, but it probably had something to do with the career move she made in releasing a sex tape. After that, she started doing all sorts of things in the adult entertainment industry — she did some work as a stripper, released sex toys, etc. 3. Cam Girl For the past few years, she’s done less of that sort of stuff and focused her efforts more on being a cam girl — it’s even part of the reason why she left Teen Mom OG. 4. Makes Sense So really, going from all that to being an escort is a pretty natural progression, right? 5. Hmm … Think about it — she travels constantly, she flies first class and stays in expensive resorts all around the world, but how? She doesn’t have MTV money coming in anymore, all her businesses have failed, and she owes a few people money for a few different lawsuits. How can she afford all that she does? 6. Well … Prostitution, that’s how. That’s the theory, anyway. View Slideshow

Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN The breakup of Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner is still pretty recent and the fallout of the split is growing in size if unconfirmed whispers are true. According to sources close to Scott, he allegedly intends to fire back at the Kardashian clan for talking trash about him. As reported by the Mirror , an upcoming report by Heat World magazine states that Scott has tired of what he says is trash-talking from the sprawling Kardashian empire despite reports that he and Jenner agreed to an amicable split and were to remain friends. However, it appears that Scott’s relationship with Jenner may be intact but nothing of the sort is on the table for the Kardashians. “Travis knows that the Kardashians are trash-talking him and spreading rumours about him,” said a source to Heat World . The source added, “He’s ready to fight back big time. The way he is feeling at the moment, he’d like nothing more than to sell Kylie out. Everyone thinks he’s the one who’s been playing the field, while Kylie is some sort of angel.” The source concluded that Scott has dirt on Jenner and the entire family that will soon come to light. This comes as a video posted by Scott of he and Jenner’s daughter playing around seemed to also feature mom’s hand in the clip, with E! News reporting that the three spent time together as a family.

Source: press handout / tma A few days before this year’s West Indian Day Parade in New York City, Spragga Benz was a guest at SUNY Empire State in downtown Brooklyn. The dancehall pioneer was seated at the front of the room alongside two music executives and Dr. Carolyn Cooper, a professor at the University of the West Indies. They would be discussing the future of dancehall and reggae music as well as what that progression means for new artists. “The youth are doing their thing,” Spragga says, following the panel. “It’s a whole new generation from 1995. A different set of youth. They’re expressing themselves and it’s not fair for us to say that what they’re doing isn’t right. Or lesser than that because we were free to do what we wanted and our parents were probably saying that what we were doing is stupid or wrong.” “A man may start out slack and end up conscious. It’s a journey.”—Spragga Benz On an elevated platform, Spragga offered stories of humble beginnings and incidentally finding his place in dancehall, although his personal business would have been better off without the cameras and the bright lights. “More people wanted me to record and I was like, ‘Alright. This thing is getting out of hand now…” The audience chuckled collectively. He continued earnestly, “Because my thinking at the time was about the type of lifestyle I was living, the type of friends that I had and the type of things we were doing… I’m not going up on no stage.” View this post on Instagram See me with my spliff… big tune on the Grass Is Greener soundtrack #netflix @salaamremi production A post shared by Spragga Benz (@spraggabenz3) on Oct 13, 2019 at 5:56pm PDT That fear of exposure ended shortly thereafter as Spragga would go on to run the genre in mid-90s and now as he nears 30 years in the industry, there’s a sense of reverence that comes with his name. So much so that his first album in nearly a decade, Chiliagon , debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Reggae charts. Spragga Benz is out here breaking personal records for himself, even still. In a recent press release, Lem Oppenheimer, co-founder of Easy Star stated, “We are proud to have helped Spragga get to #1 for the first time in his career. What this shows us is that Spragga is still a vibrant artist, a current creative force, and an important voice in reggae worldwide.” The album [ cop it here ] is a direct reflection of how Spragga defines the word ‘chiliagon’ — “a shape with a thousand sides.” The mix of roots reggae, drum and bass, dancehall, grime, garage and hip-hop highlights an evolution of sound, at least from his end. “That’s how I approach music,” he reveals. “I don’t really box into anything. I have different sides to myself and there’s an inclusion of all different genres of music, but to me a lot of different music comes from dancehall same way. So this album shows the connections and similarities and how a dancehall artist actually sounds over these different beats that actually aren’t that different.” Spragga claims that “No Regrets,” a wavy, roots reggae-inspired track from Chiliagon is his favorite on the album. Preceding the LP, Spragga’s “Count Tree” over the “Calaloo” riddim specifically highlights his spirited flow alongside synth-heavy production with just enough bounce to fall within the lines of traditional dancehall. Another single, “If Yuh Ready,” with UK DJ General Levy is specifically grime, or as Spragga describes: “Jungle Music!” His eyes light up, excitedly. “That same jungle music? It’s derived from dancehall music. It’s the same thing just sped up. They use our same bass lines and faster drums.” Naturally mellow, nothing seems to move Spragga Benz like music or talks of progression. As an OG in the dancehall world, Spragga has made it his business — his literal business, with Red Star Productions — to help motivate and encourage those coming behind him. Red Star is a sort of in-between, for young creatives trying to find their way. “We try to enhance the talent of young artists, bringing what they have out of them,” he explains. “Some may come to us as artists but they aren’t really artists. They might be a better producer or road manager or a writer, whatever it is that you want to do, we’ll push you to do it anyways, because that’s your desire until you find your growth and then you can always divert.” “We try to just bring people in, let them be themselves but we try and guide them in the direction they want to go in without tying them to anything. You owe us nothing. It’s just doing you doing your own work and us giving you a platform.” View this post on Instagram #Repost @sunyuwicenter ・・・ Thank you to all of the participants who supported the successful launch of the SUNY-UWI Center for Leadership and Sustainable Development —Community Engagement Lecture Series entitled: “The Caribbean Music Industry 2019: What’s Next for Reggae, Dancehall and New Breakout Artists?” . . . #brooklyn #brooklynny #education #highered #suny #spraggabenz #sunyuwicenter #sunyuwi #clsd #music #breakoutartists #summerlecture @cristyofaragon @spraggabenz3 @irie_bobby @sunyempire @uwitv #empirestatecollege #carolyncooper #communityengagement #lectureseries #caribbeancommunityimpact #jamaicandiaspora #reggaemusic #dancehallmusic #artist A post shared by Spragga Benz (@spraggabenz3) on Aug 20, 2019 at 2:58pm PDT Earlier in the evening, during the panel, one man in the audience stood up and lamented, “It is the artist’s responsibility to censor your lyrics…” Attendees murmured in their seats. “You owe it to the youth.” It was only a matter of time before the topic arose of Jamaica’s unyielding moral code of conduct. Spragga held steadfast in his belief that an artist having to censor himself, defeats the idea of his being a creative. “They’re [the government] censoring dancehall artists, specifically,” he shares later. “Because those from other genres are able to say whatever they feel like saying. And I just think we should be free to say whatever we feel and express ourselves in our own way. Every man has his own idea of what’s right and what’s wrong. So leave a man to his own judgment and learning.” “A man may start out slack and end up conscious. It’s a journey,” he continues. “Allow a man to walk his journey. Censorship comes in when some people want power over other people. Or when some people feel important and want to be ‘the God’ over what other people are doing and when you have enough people who feel that way, they form themselves into bodies and give themselves titles and feel even more important.” “But artists only want to express themselves, we have our own moral compass to follow. A lot of us have children too and come from good homes with parents that give us certain responsibilities and morals as well.”

Now, the 29-year-old rapper is back in the major label fold after inking a multi-million dollar deal with Columbia Records. As exclusively reported by Variety , Tyga, born Michael Ray Stevenson, signed with Columbia Records after the success of the aforementioned “Taste” and appearances on chart-topping hits from Iggy Azalea on “Kream” and “Go Loko” from YG. Tyga told the outlet that the pairing between him and Columbia is something he’s looking forward to. From Variety : Joining the Sony Music label was a decision made with a global view, Tyga tells Variety. “They definitely understand the global brand,” he says of the company. “I have a lot of fans worldwide — in places I’ve never been like South America, and in places I have been like Asia and Europe. They can help bring that to a larger scale. Doing it independently, you don’t really have those teams to help worldwide.
