Source: PYMCA / Getty Tekashi69 is currently in jail as he awaits trial on federal racketeering charges. Nevertheless, the Brooklyn troll rapper is making the best of his time, creating music and getting healthier. Silver linings, right? Reports TMZ : Sources close to 6ix9ine tell TMZ … Tekashi’s spending most of his time behind bars writing and producing songs for his next album. He’s even created visuals for the record. We’re told the circumstances of his incarceration have worked in his favor. On the negative side, he’s facing possible life imprisonment for the various charges, and the negative forces have inspired some serious writing. On the positive side, the rapper’s getting strong support from family, close friends and girlfriend Jade, who proudly displayed this butt grab behind bars. 6ix9ine’s been working out and is actually healthier now than before he was locked up. Still no word on whether or not Tekashi will be granted bail anytime soon. His trial is scheduled to start in September.
Source: Steve Granitz / Getty We pick up tonight’s episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta with Porsha and Kandi’s argument. They’re just not going to get along and that’s that. Kandi attempts to leave, but Tanya asks her to stay. Kandi obliges and both women manage to ignore each other for the sake of peace. Kandi return unfollows Porsha on all social media and they’re both over it dot com. Dinner continues, and we move on to Eva bringing up NeNe and Tanya’s little tiff. NeNe was annoyed with Tanya for saying that something was low-end fashion that NeNe didn’t consider low-end fashion and said Tanya was pretentious. The item that triggered NeNe were some $100 dollar shades from Swagg Boutique. NeNe owns Swagg Boutique. See where this is going? She probably really felt some type of way about Tanya calling her stuff low end. Anyway, Tanya apologizes for the offense and we move on. Then we get to the part where Porsha calls Eva out about being shady but forgetting her shady comments. Porsha even provides examples of how Eva has constantly shaded Cynthia. Eva suddenly gets amnesia about all of that, thus proving Porsha’s point. Then she says there’s not a shady bone in her body. As if Eva wasn’t shading the life out of people on America’s Next Top Model years before RHOA even existed. Anyway, Porsha then says people should own up to their shade and Kandi is just looking at her like: Because we all know that Kandi feels that Porsha never owns up to her ish…and there’s validity to that given their situation. Anyway, the real reason why we’re at this Tanya/Eva collaboration dinner is so that Eva can apologize for not inviting them to her bachelorette party and tell them she’s taking them to Tokyo as an apology. In other news, Cynthia finally introduces Kandi, Marlo, and Eva to her new man, Mike Hill. They immediately start grilling him, and we all feel like this is a bit immature, but Mike Hill can get with them. He even tells them, “This is Hill, not Will” (you remember the Willi fiasco), which basically means they got the right one. And you already know this group of women brings it with the questions. They ask everything from what he brings to the table, to what he loves most about Cynthia, to what his go-to sex moves are, to his credit score, and even inquire about the last time he had an STD. He answers everything and they’re impressed. He seems honest, very into Cynthia and not shady at all. So far so good. Finally, the episode winds down with Porsha getting her moment to chat with Dennis about all that has been going on. Porsha explains to Dennis that he should have never continued having a conversation with Jami’s friend knowing that she was upset about it. Dennis doesn’t feel like he did anything wrong (aka Porsha may have blown things out of proportion) but Porsha says them hormones got her feeling some type of way and she needs him to own up to his ish. Eventually, Dennis seems to get it and he apologizes. Next week, the Shady Bunch heads East for some drama in Japan.

The estate of the late-great Aretha Franklin released a statement staking that there is an ongoing investigation being conducted by the Bloomfield Township Police Department in Michigan, where Franklin previously lived. Reports of the investigation came about because the estate is locked in a nasty battle with Franklin’s son, Edward. Edward has been trying to get a court order to force the estate to produce monthly financial documents to Franklin’s heirs. But the estate is very hesitant to turn over the documents so easily, because they claim it may negatively impact the criminal investigation by police into the missing assets. There is also an ongoing dispute between Franklin’s estate and one of her ex-husbands regarding the payment of music royalties. The estate says the records that were requested “may jeopardize these matters and should not be disclosed.” The estate is demanding the court shut down Edward’s attempt to get the records so that the police can continue their investigation, as The Blast reports.
B lack women are continuing to break major racial barriers in the realm of academia. According to the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education , Kimberly Mutcherson was recently selected to become the dean of Rutgers University’s law school. “I care a lot about doing work that is not just for other legal scholars, but has the potential to be meaningful in people’s lives,” says new @RutgersLaw Co-Dean Kimberly Mutcherson ( @ProfessorMutch ) in a feature in @PhillyInquirer .

She is the first woman, the first Black person and the first LGBT individual to serve in this role. Mutcherson started her journey at Rutgers 17 years ago as an assistant professor. She then moved up the ranks and in 2015 was named vice dean of the New Jersey-based university’s law school. Mutcherson—who earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania and a juris doctorate degree from Columbia Law School—has conducted research surrounding reproductive justice. During her career she’s worked with the Center for Reproductive Rights and the HIV Law Project. “I am thrilled to be able to continue my service to Rutgers law as co-dean,” said Mutcherson, according to the Philadelphia Tribune . “I know that our institution has a very bright future and will continue to provide a high-quality legal education and produce lawyers who change the profession and the world for the better.” Rutgers University-Camden Chancellor Phoebe A. Haddon said that Mutcherson will play an integral role in building upon the momentum and energy at Rutgers Law. “She is passionate about the value of a legal education that prepares creative thinkers who are ready to be leaders in virtually every aspect of our society. She sees with clarity the role of the law in protecting individual rights” said Haddon. Mutcherson started her new role on January 1. Her appointment comes just months after Olivette Otele made history by becoming the first Black woman history professor in the UK after being selected to teach at Bath Spa University.

Source: Roy Rochlin / Getty Lil Uzi Vert fans are freaking out after the Philly rapper announced via his Instagram Story that he’s officially done with music. He wrote in a cryptic post, “I wanna take the time out to say I thank each and every one of my supports, but I’m done with music. I deleted everything. I wanna be normal… I wanna wake up in 2013.” No word on whether or not Uzi is just having a moment or if he’s really done with the game. But if he is telling the truth, does that mean his highly anticipated album ‘Eternal Atake’ won’t be seeing the light of day?
