Drake Kisses, Gropes Underage Fan In Shocking Video

Posted on January 7, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Last week, the world was stunned by a docuseries about R. Kelly focusing on the singer’s past sex crimes. Now, it seems the #MeToo movement may have turned its attention toward the world of hip hop and R&B, as a shocking new video shows Canadian hitmaker Drake engaging in some wildly inappropriate behavior with an underage fan. In the clip — which went viral on Twitter Saturday night — Drake can be seen kissing and gently fondling a fan who was brought on stage at one of his concerts At one point, Drake asks the girl’s age, and she informs him that she’s only 17 years old. Shockingly, the rapper responds by kissing her again, this time lightly groping her breasts. You can see the shocking moment for yourself in the video below, but be warned — the content presented here is disturbing: Drake Gropes Underage Fan It’s unclear when the video was taken or how old Drake, now 32, was at the time of the incident. The Daily Beast — the first mainstream outlet to report on the scandal — claims that the footage was captured “years ago.” “I get in trouble for s–t like this,” Drake says in the clip. “How old are you?” When the girl replies that she’s only 17, Drake jokes, “I can’t go to jail yet.” He then encourages her to return to her seat, but not before engaging in still more inappropriate behavior. “I had fun, I don’t know if I should feel guilty or not, but I had fun. I like the way your breasts feel against my chest,” he states. “I just want to thank you.” At that point, Drake kisses the girl several more times, purposefully grazing her breasts with his hands. This is not the first time that the rapper has landed in hot water as a result of his interactions with underage girls. Drake’s relationship with Millie Bobby Brown of Stranger Things fame has raised quite a few eyebrows in recent months. The 14-year-old actress stated in a recent interview that she and Drake text frequently and she often comes to him for advice when she’s having trouble “with boys.” Drake has yet to respond to outrage over the concert footage. We’ll have further updates on the situation as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: Drake: A History of Women He May Have Dated

Get ‘Em: Demi Lovato Goes IN On Instagram Over A Fat-Shaming Advertisement

Posted on January 5, 2019 by Benny Hollywood

Source: Sun Sentinel / Getty Demi Lovato Slams Instagram For Displaying A Harmful Ad Demi Lovato took to Instagram on Friday to fight back on an issue she’s long been passionate about stopping: body shaming. Instagram removed an advertisement for a mobile game from their app after the singer posted several IG stories denouncing the ad and asking for it to be taken down.  The sponsored post promoting a game called “Game of Sultans” featured two side-by-side characters, one dubbed “obese” and another called “pretty.” “Why is this fat shaming bull**it on my feed,” the 26-year-old wrote on her Instagram story. “So many things wrong with this ad.” She even tweeted about it to draw attention to the ad and how much of a problem she has with it, urging her fans to “always speak up for what you believe in.” Just called out Instagram and some bullshit game on my insta stories.. go check it out. Always speak up for what you believe in! — Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) January 4, 2019 The message from the ad is basically that only skinny women are pretty–which is clearly wrong and problematic–so Demi took it upon herself to take a stand. “This is absolutely harmful to anyone who is easily influenced by societal pressures put on us from the diet culture to constantly be losing weight in a world that teaches us to equate our value and worth with the way we look and especially anyone in recovery from an eating disorder,” she wrote. “Especially when eating disorders are all about ‘control.’” Lovato goes on to directly call out Instagram for allowing an ad that degrades the way people look on its platform. “Please Instagram, keep this bull**it off mine and other’s feeds who could easily be effected by this disgusting advertisement,” she wrote. “With how aware people are becoming of mental health and mental illnesses, I expect you guys to know better by allowing this advertisement to be allowed on your app. And shame on the game.” Following the post, Instagram ended up apologizing and told  TMZ   the ad violated its terms of service and would be removed. “We’re sorry. This ad was approved by mistake,” the company said. “We reviewed it again and removed it from future delivery in people’s feeds.” Continue reading →

Lifetime’s ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ Series Had Black Twitter Deeply Disturbed

Posted on January 4, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Prince Williams / Getty The highly anticipated Surviving R. Kelly docu-series aired Thursday night, and in true Black Twitter tradition, everyone watched together like one big happy family. The Dream Hampton produced series documented the sexual abuse allegations against the singer throughout his 30 year career. Needless to say, ish got deep. The plan was also for Kelly’s celebrity colleagues to be interviewed about what it was like to work with the singer over the years, but according to Hampton, Jay-Z , Lady Gaga and Erykah Badu declined. Dave Chappelle , Mary J. Blige , Questlove and Lil’ Kim also declined to speak. Hampton told Detroit Free Press ,  “Most people just don’t want to touch it. [Questlove] was like, ‘I would do anything for you but I can’t do this.’ It’s not because they support him, it’s because it’s so messy and muddy. It’s that turning away that has allowed this to go on.” Quest also took to Twitter the day that Surviving R. Kelly premiered, just to make it clear why he wasn’t apart of it. He tweeted (then deleted), “I always thought Kels was trash. My reason for declining the RKelly docu that I support 10000000 percent is I didn’t wanna be in the ‘good times’ portion of the doc, like stanning for his ‘genius.’ I was asked to talk about his genius. I do not nor have I EVER stanned for him.” Usually something so heavy has mixed reaction. But after watching the series, most people unanimously agree that it time we be done with R. Kelly, as a culture. But the truth of the matter is, we should have been done 25 years ago. Boondocks tried to warn y’all bout R. Kelly 15 years ago y’all just ain’t wanna listen pic.twitter.com/Rc9C2WhZqU — ZaeBlessed (@tootrill_xavier) January 4, 2019 R. KELLY TOLD Y'ALL 23 YEARS AGO HIS MIND WAS TELLING HIM NO, BUT HIS BODY WAS TELLING HIM YES…HE AINT SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH A LIL BUMP AND GRIND…HE BEEN FEELING ON BOOTIES AND PUTTING HIS KEY IN IGNITIONS SINCE DAY 1…IF THEY SEEM LIKE THEY READY, HE GOT HALF ON A BABY.. — mary-go-round (@trustmeimmary) January 4, 2019 Oddly enough though, there are still folks out there defending their Pied Piper. One person tweeted, “Alright R.Kelly is a rapist but Trapped in closet was genius.” Another Kelly stan wrote, “I love r. Kelly. He’s a music genius. That doesn’t mean I support abuse. If he hadn’t fucked up his legacy with the shit, he apparently likes to do outside of muisc ; everyone would still bump him with no hesitation. Like everyone still loves the Cosby show.” But let’s be honest guys, some of ya’ll would believe the shocking allegations if they didn’t come from young, Black women. Vanessa Butler made a great point when she tweeted,  “Bill Cosby raped white young girls and now he is in prison. R Kelly raped black young girls and he is being protected. Hmmm.” Facts, Vanessa! The rest of the six-part docuseries airs tonight on Lifetime. Hit the flip for some of the wildest reactions to Surviving R. Kelly.

Get Your Life Together: ASAP Bari Fined After Pleading Guilty To One Count Of Sexual Assault In London

Posted on January 3, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Edward Berthelot / Getty ASAP Bari Pleads Guilty To Sexual Assault, Gets Fined £4,000 ASAP Bari  has officially pleaded guilty to one charge of sexual assault in London. According to reports from  iTV , Bari has been fined £4,000 (approximately $5,034) in lieu of jail time, and must also pay £2,500 (approximately $3,145) to the victim. “The court does have concerns in this matter because it has exposed a very unpleasant attitude by you towards women,” Judge Zoe Smith QC said on Thursday of the footage that originally surfaced back in 2017. “You say that you were angry but there is no need to ever be so abusive and humiliating to a female.” The footage showed Bari pulling bed covers off a naked woman before slapping her buttocks. He is also seen telling the woman to give him oral sex. “The defendant flew back to America later that same morning,” prosecutor James Lofthouse said, per a separate  report  from the  Mirror . “However, about three to four days later she (the victim) became aware through her mother that footage had been circulating on the internet. It’s that footage we have seen in court. Following that she of course got back in touch with the officer.” In a statement from Bari’s team, initially released after the footage in question surfaced online in 2017, Bari first described the clip as being misleading. “Comments about myself or anyone being detained or arrested are false,” Bari’s rep claimed at the time. At one point, Bari was suing the woman seen in the clip for defamation and civil extortion.  Reports  from August 2018 show that Bari argued the woman was “pressuring him into settling.” He also claimed at the time that the woman, referred to in court documents as Jane Doe, initially told local authorities that he did not sexually assault her but later changed her story for court.

Posted on January 3, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty The Singer Has Her Son Looking Ahead It seems K. Michelle is already teaching her teenage son about Black wealth with a major move. Instead of using her check only for jewelry, cars or other luxury items, Michelle is dropping a bag on land ownership for her son Chase. According to a Instagram post she made on Wednesday, Michelle opened up a bank account for Chase and purchased him some land. In the caption for her post, Michelle wrote: “Starting off my new year opening up Chase’s bank account and buying him land. LAND is what our ancestors fought for we have to buy more land and less chains and shit. He is the only thing I’ve worked hard for is HIM and my family. The perfect way to start 2019.”   It seems Jigga isn’t the only one thinking about “Legacy” and wealth. Money phone rappers take note.

Demi Lovato Vows to "Never Take Another Day for Granted"

Posted on December 31, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Demi Lovato is reaydy to move on from the most challenging year of her life. This may be saying a lot for someone who battled substance abuse and an eating disorder for most of her time as a teenager… … but the singer  nearly died of an overdose  in July 2018. So, really, we don’t feel like it’s that bold of a claim overall. Just a few hours before the clock struck midnight and the calendar flipped to 2019, Lovato shared a heartfelt message on social media. It didn’t message the aforementioned overdose specifically, but it was clear what was on Demi’s mind when she wrote the following words: So grateful for the lessons I’ve learned this year. I will never take another day in life for granted, even the bad ones. Thankful for my fans, friends, family and everyone who supported me throughout this year. God bless. Lovato admitted to fans via a verse in a new song this past March that she had fallen off the wagon. She asked for their forgiveness and she seemed legitimately torn up by what had transpired. But just a few months later, what many followers and loved ones had feared for awhile finally came to tragic fruition: The artist was found unconscious by an employee in her bed. This employee called 911 and paramedics had to administer a special dose of medication to Lovato in order to revive her. She was minutes away from dying. Whiile reports have not been finalized or confirmed, it is strongly believed at this point that Lovato had completed a night out with friends and returned to her Hollywood Hills home very early in the morning. She then called her drug dealer. He arrived at her residence and provided her with OxyContin, allegedly laced with fentanyl, which the superstar reportedly free-based.  She may have been unaware at the time that the dose was tainted. Still, the result is all that matters, as Lovato was rushed to the hospital and eventually enrolled in a new rehab program after several weeks under doctors’ supervision. The singer has been free from this facility for a couple months now and recently took to Twitter in order to shoot down reports of a relapse . “I love my fans and hate tabloids,” she wrote last week, emphasizing this message to those who care about her: “Don’t believe what you read. People will literally make up stuff to sell a story. Sickening.” Concluded Lovato: “If I feel like the world needs to know something, I will tell them MYSELF.” Very well said, Demi. We continue to send you our best wishes for a terrific 2019 and beyond. Hang in there.

Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus Just Got Married. For Real.

Posted on December 24, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Miley Cyrus recently referred to Liam Hemsworth as her survival partner . But now it appears as if the singer can maybe call her very handsome significant other by another name instead: HUSBAND . We’re serious this time. We know you’ve heard rumors forever and ever and ever about Miley and Liam being married , but it appears this time around like those rumors truly are a reality. How else to explain the series of Instagram photos that just went viral across the Internet? A number of Photos and video went up today on surfer friend Conrad Jack Carr’s social media page — and they depict Cyrus and Hemsworth all dressed up, seemingly cutting a wedding cake. You can check out that image above. Below, meanwhile, you can see a singer belting out some kind of song in front of Mr. and Mrs. balloons. Elsehwere in this array of intriguing snapshots, Liam and his brother Chris and Luke are doing a “shotski,” which entails taking sips of alcohol off off a ski. Look hard enough and you’ll be able to see Miley’s mother, Tish, in one of these pictures. The photos were all snapped at Liam and Miley’s Nashville home, multiple outlets have confirmed. Although Miley’s sisters, Noah and Brandi, aren’t seen in any of these images, they seemingly attended and posed together in a picture posted to Brandi’s Imstagram Story. Noah, for her part, snapped a picture  with Carr and also shared a Story of herself with tears in her eyes and gave the camera a thumbs up. This really does appear to be the real thing, folks. Miley and Liam met in 2010 on the set of the Nicholas Sparks movie, The Last Song.  They got engaged in 2012, but broke up 2014. The stars reconciled the next year and got engaged again , yet they never seemed to be in any rush to tie the knot. A week ago, Cyrus made a few hilarious headlines when she gave Hemsworth credit for his good dick game. Yes, his good dick game . “I call him my survival partner now,” she had previously told Howard Stern, adding this month: “He thinks it’s not romantic, but I learned that it is. It is why you pair up with someone is for survival.” We love it. And we send these newlyweds are very best wishes!

Jay Z Is Allegedly Trying To Stop Travis Scott From Shucking And Jiving At The Superbowl

Posted on December 21, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Read the original here:

T he NFL has effectively banned  Colin Kaepernick  from playing in the pro football league simply because he peacefully exercised his constitutional right to protest. The rich white men at the Super Bowl and CBS, including the creepy  Les Moonves , attempted to destroy Janet Jackson’s career over a wardrobe malfunction in 2004 — and Justin Timberlake walked away unscathed. Therefore, the Super Bowl does not deserve one millisecond of Black artists during their Halftime Show… unless you are Kylie Jenner’s baby’s father, Travis Scott . Luckily, Jay Z  was reportedly trying to talk some sense into him. SEE ALSO:  Some No Name, Pitchy R&B Singer Disrespected Keith Sweat And Gets Demolished On Twitter Overrated pop band Maroon 5  agreed to perform at the Super Bowl in February and allegedly asked several Black artists to perform, too. Mary J. Blige, Lauryn Hill, Andre 3000,   Cardi B, Usher and Nicki Minaj all reportedly said no.  Rihanna gave a hard no back in October and even  P!nk declined . But yesterday it was announced that Travis Scott said yes, and the rapper was promptly  trampled by social media . Now, Jay Z is trying to save any credibility Scott has in the Black community by attempting to convince him to not perform. Variety.com reported that two sources were claiming Jay Z was reaching out to Scott. Neither Jay’s or Travis’ camp confirmed the reports, which probably means it’s true. Sadly, there probably isn’t much Jay can say to the 26-year-old. Even Maroon 5 has ignored a Change.org petition, which has more than  75,000 signatures , to not perform. Thankfully, Philly rapper and budding social media icon  Meek Mill is not here for any Super Bowl foolishness. When it was rumored he was going to perform, he quickly shut that down: If Travis does perform, which he probably will, good luck with having a career in the Make America Great Again fanbase.
