SMH: Lamar Odom Admits He Once Threatened To Kill Khloe Kardashian

Source: Jason LaVeris / Getty Lamar Odom Recalls Moment He Threatened To Kill Khloe Kardashian Maybe it felt like we all had a front row seat to KhloMar’s drama back when they were married, but rest assured there was a lot more going on behind the scenes than anyone could have guessed. In his new memoir Darkness to Light , Lamar Odom admits that he once threatened to kill ex-wife Khloe Kardashian . He was reportedly high on cocaine and ecstasy and upset that Khloe had called his friends for help when he began to hallucinate. From Us Weekly : “Khloé came down and knocked on the door. I opened it suddenly and grabbed her forcefully by the shoulders, which frightened her,” he writes. “‘What the f–k are you doing?’ I screamed, out of my mind. ‘You trying to embarrass me in front of my friends? I’ll f–king kill you! You don’t know what I’m capable of!’” Frustrated, the  Keeping Up With the Kardashians  star ran upstairs and slammed the door. Later on, the basketball player asked his wife for forgiveness. “I was embarrassed and ashamed,” he recalls. “It was a new low for our relationship and my life … the most regrettable moment in a series of regrettable moments.” Elsewhere, Lamar reportedly spoke about the time Khloe put their divorce on hold to stand by his side after he overdosed at a Nevada brothel . According to Lam Lam, Khloe wasn’t so nice to his family when they attempted to visit him in the hospital. From HotNewHipHop : “I had cousins and childhood friends waiting for hours who got bumped out of line by my famous sisters-in-law,” he wrote. “Obviously, I had no idea what was going on. This was Khloe’s call, and she had never even met most of my family.” Odom also noted one incident that occurred with Kris when his Aunt JaNean was finally given access to visit him with his children, Lamar Jr. and Destiny. “When JaNean left my room, she went to the waiting area on the other side of the glass partition and took an open seat: the very seat Kris Jenner had been sitting in for hours,” he wrote. “When Kris got back from the restroom, she approached JaNean. ‘That’s my seat,’ said Kris.” Then Khloe stepped in to kick JaNean out of the waiting room. “Y’all not his family!” Lamar said his aunt shouted at the women. Unlike the others who would just fold out of intimidation, Aunt JaNean apparently wasn’t having it. “The ‘f**k yous’ and ‘b****es’ were flying in every direction,” he said of his aunt’s rant. Watch Lamar talk about being a “professional” at hiding his drug addiction in the ABC Exclusive clip below. . @ABC NEWS EXCLUSIVE: @RealLamarOdom talks to @JujuChangABC about his struggle with addiction, “I was professional at hiding it, Khloe didn’t know for a long time.” https://t.co/BizGWeovoe pic.twitter.com/dge7Rm7fkV — Good Morning America (@GMA) May 28, 2019

Former MLB Star Carl Crawford Signed Megan Thee Stallion

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Megan Thee Stallion ‘s meteoric rise to rap stardom has only been in the making for a couple of years, and the fanfare is well deserved on the heels of her debut studio album, Fever . The Houston rapper owes some of her success to former MLB player Carl Crawford, who explained recently that he signed her to his entertainment imprint. TMZ Sports reports : If you’re not familiar with Megan (shame on you) she and her hottie army are taking over the rap game with her debut album, “Fever,” which just dropped … and everyone from Drake to Juicy J is showing love. Turns out Megan had a big-time ally helping her get to the top … she’s signed to Crawford’s label, 1501 Certified Ent, and when we talked to Carl he told us it’s not a one-off, he’s in the game to stay. “We got Megan and we think she’s gonna be a huge star. And, not only her … we’re hoping we have other people come up through the system as well.” Crawford played 15 years in the MLB making over $179 million in his career — and he tells us he’s spent a big part of his fortune to launch his record label. “It was at least 7 figures, I’ll tell you that. And, that’s because I built a studio and all that other stuff.” Crawford, a Houston native like Hot Girl Meg, was a four-time MLB All-Star, winning both the Gold Glove and Silver Slugger award in 2010. — Photo: Getty

‘LHHATLS8’ Recap: Karlie Redd Hosts The Group In Trinidad While Spice Is Away

Read the original:

Source: Marcus Ingram / Getty Tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta picks up with Scrapp, Bambi, Joc, Kendra, Shekinah, Tokyo Vanity, Kirk, and Rasheeda are headed to Trinidad, but what they don’t know is that Mimi invited Pooh. Those two will show up later, and we all know that’s going to be lots of fun when they arrive. Anyway, Karlie Redd is in charge of hosting the group since her family is from Trinidad. Spice is the reason they’re there, but Spice will be performing in The Gambia for the first leg of their shenanigans so she’ll join the fun later. Back in the states, we find Akbar V recording. Che Mack shows up to her session to inform her that Made Man got shot. Someone tried to rob him and now he’s in the hospital in intensive care. Che puts Akbar on the spot and asks if she can watch her daughter while she runs to check on him in the hospital. Che Mack explains that she’s conflicted about how to behave with him because she just moved out of the house they shared and she’s still mad at him but he’s also in a near death situation yatta yatta. Obviously, she should just go to the hospital and hope he doesn’t die. In Trinidad, Karlie makes reservations for the group at a restaurant that serves local cuisine so they can taste Trinidadian food. There’s already tension between Karlie and Shekinah, and it doesn’t help the situation when Shekinah (and also Tokyo Vanity) is knit picking the food. Karli gets annoyed and snaps at Shekinah. Then they get into it. Karlie starts yelling at Shekinah to give Trinidad a chance. Shekinah reminds Karlie that she’s actually not from Trinidad. Then Tokyo jumps in and says she needed a passport to get there just like the rest of them. Karlie says she just wants them to have a good time. Then Shekinah says she don’t eff with Pooh but she gets what she’s saying about Karlie. Karlie gets triggered hearing Pooh’s name and plays the recording of her phone conversation with Hiriam allegedly saying nothing happened between them, but the context of what Karlie played is shady so we don’t really know if that’s exactly what he’s talking about in that moment. You know how tricksie Karlie is. Plus, we already saw the convo between Pooh and Hiriam where she told him that Karlie had recorded their conversation and he said that he was lying to Karlie and saying whatever she wanted just because it’s not his style to put his dalliances out there like that. So it’s a matter of he said she said. Someone is lying. In Atlanta, Scrapp and Sierra are painting an anti-gun violence mural. They’re talking about all the gun violence they’ve experienced. Then Akbar pulls up and tells them about Che Mack’s babydaddy. Scrapp knows Che Mack, hasn’t seen her in a while but plans to check on her. Then We get back to the bs. Akbar V asks Scrapp about what was up with Moniece. He tries to downplay his relationship with her, like he does to pretty much all the women we’ve seen him with on this show. Then Sierra pulls Akbar V aside and asks her to stop beefing with all her friends. Akbar V agrees to behave herself…once again. Later on we find out that Made Man is stable and will survive. Then we cut to Scrapp walking with Che Mack. This is him checking up on her. They haven’t seen each other in a while but the story goes that they used to be close. According to Scrapp, she used to be his wingwoman. Then they start gossiping. Scrapp reveals that he feels some type of way about Stevie J because he wasn’t there for him when he was locked up. This is the perfect opportunity for Che Mack to bring up the fact that she heard that Stevie also creeping with Tommie while Scrapp was locked up. Scrapp heard that same rumor and plans to see his Uncle Stevie to discuss. We all know that means that Stevie will probably be making an appearance soon. We also know that that discussion is not going to go well. Now we’re back in Trinidad at the point where Mimi shows up with Pooh. Mimi tries to get Pooh and Karlie Redd to put their differences aside. Karlie says she needs Pooh to admit that she lied about everything she said they did. Pooh, however, goes into graphic detail and even simulates some of what allegedly happened. This obviously goes straight to hell, like we knew it would. First, it’s Karlie vs. Pooh but security shuts that down. Then Tokyo Vanity tries to get in on the fun and again security shuts that down. Mimi acts shocked that things went left with Pooh and then we get to next week when Pooh plays a recording she has of her husband saying that he lied during his convo with Karlie because he just didn’t want to put her out there.  Anyway, we’ll be back at this next week. Because…drama. RELATED POSTS ‘LHHATLS8’ Recap: Spice Wants The Crew To Join Her In Trinidad ‘LHHATLS8’ Recap: Rasheeda And Kirk’s Party In The Woods Is Over

Corey Gamble: Finally Exposed on Keeping Up with the Kardashians?!?

On this week’s holiday weekend episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, various key family members took a close look at Kris Jenner’s long-time boyfriend and asked a very simple question. But also a very important one. And it went something like this… … WHO THE HECK IS COREY GAMBLE?!? The Corey-themed drama kicked off on Sunday evening when Kanye West  woke the 38-year-old with a series of texts at 6 in the morning, alleging Gamble of being withholding. Of being purposely mysterious, basically The rapper wasn’t actually present for filming, but Kim Kardashian filled the audience in on what was going on. “Kanye texts Corey something along the lines of, ‘Look, we don’t know you. We’ve never met any of your family members,'” she said on air. Did she agree with her husband? Perhaps not with the delivery, but, yes, Kim was on board with Kanye’s overall sentiment. “I mean, of course we’ve all felt that way and thought that,” Kim told the camera about the man who’s been dating her mother for years now. And Khloe concurred. “I agree with that statement from Kanye. We don’t know anything about Corey like that,” said Khloe, noting later that her Gamble “does tend to be pretty secretive,” despite past attempts to get to know him better, explaining: “He has not been receptive in this whole thing. So, me and all of the kids, we just…we’ve been more on guard with Corey.” As you might expect, meanwhile, Kris wasn’t happy with all these questions and accusations floating around about her lover. The matriarch and manager thought the text ambush (and discussion that motivated it) was “rude” and asked her family not to “talk sh-t to Kanye” about her partner anymore.  From there, the installment proceeded to take a turn for the extra awkward when Khloe and BFF Malika Haqq arrived for a girls’ weekend at Jenner’s Palm Springs compound… … only to discover that Corey was unexpectedly joining them. They weren’t psyched about this. Khloe appeared frustrated in a testimonial saying: “Coming off of the talk about Kanye and Corey, I can’t believe my mom never gave me a heads up that Corey’s here.” But Gamble did his best to calm tensions down, telling Khloe over dinner: “I know a person like me gets criticized for not talking about other peoples’ business. Or people will call you mysterious if you don’t talk a lot. “I’ve been so sacred in a lot of significant peoples’ lives and I don’t talk about it, but it’s not my place to talk about it.” Khloe didn’t respond in a positive manner, however, prompting Kris to pay Khloe a visit at her home a couple days later. “I want you to recognize that when you do question my relationship with Corey, this isn’t OK and it hurts feelings,” she said, adding in a confessional that Khloe needs to “get on [her] bandwagon” because Corey isn’t going anywhere. “I think that sometimes what you guys don’t realize is that Corey is really taking care of me. Like no one ever has in my entire life.” This message finally resonated with Khloe, who made nice toward the end of the episode with Gamble. “We just want to say we’re sorry if we’ve ever been distant,” Khloe told him. “We’re happy you make our mom happy and we just want to move forward in a good place.” And that was all it took! Minutes later, the sisters were organizing Corey’s walk-in closet and love and respect was very much in the air again. Keeping Up With the Kardashians airs on E! Sundays at 9/8c.

Fofty Jr.?: 50 Cent’s Son Marquise Jackson Says Dad Owes Him Money

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty The legend of Curtis “Fofty” Jackson , better known to the world as 50 Cent, has been growing of late with the mogul’s successful shakedowns of folks owing him. But Fif’s son, Marquise Jackson, says his famous father needs to pay up. Hollywood Life reports : Plot twist — 50 Cent owes someone else money? That’s what his very own son, Marquise Jackson, 21, claimed in the comments section of a birthday tribute for sister Mia Jaè on May 23. Instead of offering birthday wishes, Blue Mountain State star Page Kennedy, 42, commented, “Yo tell yo pops to pay me my money son.” But instead of defending 50, his son replied, “Sh!t he owe me some money too .” Perhaps not the answer Page was expecting, the actor replied, “Oh.” This is a new turn in the saga of 50 demanding people to pay him back, but it’s hardly surprising. The 43-year-old rapper and his son have blasted one another on social media in the past. Marquise even slammed his father after the rapper shaded his ex, Shaniqua Tompkins (Marquise’s mother) in Oct. 2018. Shaniqua was gearing up to do a reality television show, and 50 posted mean-spirited jokes like “you starting to look a little thirsty you ok?” and “Child support ls over .” Defending his mother, Marquise wrote on Instagram, “And y’all wonder why I don’t respect him as a man or father? You had a good run but it’s over big fella lol it’s been a decade. You’re 40+ you can grow up any day now.” Yikes. Expect the petty to be strong on Instagram from Fofty Sr. soon. — Photo: Getty

Remy Ma Catches 4 Charges In Assault Case

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Remy Ma is in a heap of trouble after being accused of putting hands on a former Love & Hip Hop: New York castmate . The Bronx rapper caught four charges in the assault case against her. Reports TMZ : Prosecutors filed 4 charges against the rapper Friday — 2 counts of assault in the third degree, 1 count of aggravated harassment in the second degree, and 1 count of harassment in the second degree … all of which are misdemeanors. The charges stem from an incident in April, in which Remy allegedly punched the “Love & Hip Hop: New York” star in the right eye while backstage at the Pretty Lou Benefit Concert at Irving Plaza in NYC. She was initially booked for misdemeanor assault after turning herself in … but prosecutors have now made the multiple charges official. Here’s what’s interesting … Remy’s attorney, Dawn Florio, tells TMZ that prosecutors have updated the time in which they claim the attack went down, from 9:30 PM to 10:30 PM. We’re told they still do not have any video of the alleged attack. Remy claims she wasn’t at Irving Plaze at the time of the fade delivery, but the updated timing may change that alibi. Word is Remy was offered a deal of pleading guilty to just the assault in the third degree charge in exchange for no time and taking an anger management. If it doesn’t mean she’s going back to the bing, it’s a safe bet she’s going to take the deal. As for Brittney Taylor who caught the eye jammie and is surely suinb, why talk ish then run tell that when your mouth gets you in trouble, allegedly. Jusy saying

Black Male Media Project Empowers Black Men To Reclaim Their Narratives

Read the original here:

T he National Association of Black Journalists is on a mission to combat the negative portrayals of Black men in the media. For the third consecutive year, the organization will host its “Black Male Media Project” as an avenue to empower and inspire Black men to reclaim their narratives. The organization has been dedicated to the advocacy of Black journalists worldwide. The Black Male Media Project was created as a safe space to foster discussions surrounding everything from the need for more diversity and inclusion in newsrooms to the improvement of positive Black male representation. One of the panels, dubbed #MoreThanMugshots, will take a deep dive into how Black men are portrayed in news coverage. The event is also utilized to align Black men with mentoring and networking opportunities. As part of the global event—which is slated to take place on June 1—nearly 20 NABJ chapters within the U.S. and other parts of the world will host workshops, panels, forums. There will be events hosted in Atlanta, Baton Rouge, Birmingham, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Philadelphia and other major cities. The organization hopes that the movement transcends beyond the physical safe spaces that they’ve created as part of the event and encourages individuals to connect and spread awareness about the efforts digitally through the use of the hashtag #InspireBlackMen on social media. “The overarching goal of BMMP is to counteract negative images of Black men often portrayed in the media,” said NABJ President Sarah Glover said in a statement. “We encourage all newsrooms across the country to make this a priority because how Black men are portrayed in the news can have a direct impact on issues such as racial profiling, discriminatory hiring practices, violence and more. Black men are intellectuals, professionals, innovators, spiritual leaders, activists, fathers, brothers and sons just like any other man and should be treated and portrayed that way.” Forums like the Black Male Media Project are needed. According to a study conducted by the Rutgers School of Public Health, there is a direct correlation between the media’s negative portrayal of Black men and how they are treated by the police.

Shannade Clermont Recalls Her Fateful ‘Sugar Daddy’ Date,Hopes She’ll Come Out Of Jail ‘Strong Like Martha Stewart’

Source: Prince Williams / Getty Shannade Clermont Speaks Out Before Beginning Jail Sentence Shannade Clermont’s accepted her fate and she’s speaking out. The model who’s set to serve a year-long sentence for racking up charges on a dead man’s debit card , sat down with The New York Post’s Page Six for an interview on several things, including what really went down the night that man, James Alesi, died. According to Shannade, Alesi, a 42-year-old real-estate broker, was her “sugar daddy” and she had no idea he was in dire straights when she took his card and left a hotel where they had a rendezvous that prosecutors called a “$400 prostitution date.” “He wasn’t asleep when I left — he was just drunk,” an emotional Shannade told The Post. “I have never been around people who have been on heavy drugs, so I didn’t really know. “It was like, ‘Oh, he was a drunk mess.’ I was annoyed . . . [I thought] he was playing games. So I just left.” Alesi was more than just drunk, he was overdosing and later died from cocaine mixed with fentanyl. Shannade admitted that she took Alesi’s card and used it (obviously) without permission and splurged on a $20,000 shopping spree, rent, flight purchases, and Valentino shoes. She also admitted that when she found out that Alesi died, she STILL used the card. “From the outside looking in, it looks like I knew he was dead and was like ‘haha’ . . . and that’s really sick,” said Shannade. Shannon, also at The Post’s interview, defended her sister, saying it’s “sick” anyone could think that Shannade knew Alesi was dead or dying and that she didn’t call 911.

[…] “I mean, I didn’t love him; I liked him,” Shannade said. “[He] was just someone who took care of me.” Oh, girl….. There’s much more to this story including Shannade namedropping her buddy Kim Kardashian and shamelessly comparing herself to other incarcerated celebs. Hit the flip for that.
