Jesus Take The Phones: Momo Challenge Reportedly Urges Kids To Take Their Own Life

Source: picture alliance / Getty The Dangerous Wack Challenges Continue A disturbing challenge has made waves in the U.K. that’s threatening the lives of young people. According to CBS News , parents and police are issuing warnings against a WhatsApp messaging challenge called the “Momo game” or the “Momo challenge.” The challenge first gained buzz last summer, and mostly children or teens have been known to participate. It requires them to contact a stranger under the name “Momo” using a creepy image. Then, through WhatsApp correspondence, they encourage participants to carry out various tasks if they want to avoid being “cursed.” Some of these tasks include self-harm, and Momo even insists the participants provide photographic evidence to continue the game. Ultimately, the game ends with Momo telling the participant to kill themselves and record it for social media. The “Momo” image is taken from an actual sculpture called “Mother Bird” by Japanese artist Keisuke Aisawa . There’s nothing to indicate Aisawa’s company Link Factory had anything to do with the creation or execution of the Momo challenge.

Nicki Minaj Throws Down the Gauntlet Against BET, Won’t Perform at Awards

Source: Leon Bennett / Getty Nicki Minaj has finally come up for air after Sunday’s Grammy Awards, taking to Twitter to pull out of the BET Awards and subsequent BET Experience. The reasoning–a tweet from the channel’s verified account that includes a link to an article about Cardi B’s Grammy win with the text “Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj is being dragged by her lacefront.” The tweet has since disappeared from BET’s timeline but, it’s too little too late for Queen Barbie and her Barbie Army. Nicki Minaj tweeted Monday that Young Money will no longer be apart of the BET Experience or awards show. Since Nicki seems to be the only one repping Young Money these days, her threat may not hold much weight on the way this year’s awards weekend will play out. Young Money will no longer be apart of the BET Experience or award show. Summer Tour dates dropping soon — QUEEN (@NICKIMINAJ) February 11, 2019 Absolutely.

Nothing left to do here but sit back and watch. Let’s throw it back to when the TL was a place of harmony for Queens Nicki and Cardi…if only but for a brief moment.

Nicki Minaj Cancels Performances for BET After Cardi B Comments

Continued here:

Last night was music’s biggest night, the 61st annual Grammy Awards. One of the most undeniable highlights of the night was when break out rapper Cardi B took home the Grammy for Best Rap Album. The Invasion Of Privacy rapper made Grammy History by becoming the first solo female rapper to win in the category. BET Network posted an article about Cardi’s legendary win and happened to throw shade while congratulating Cardi. The Caption attached to the article said “Meanwhile, Nicki is being dragged by her lace front.” Of course Nicki Minaj took immediate defense to the Network’s  unnecessary commentary. She tweeted this as reaction to the company’s comment: Young Money will no longer be apart of the BET Experience or award show. Summer Tour dates dropping soon — QUEEN (@NICKIMINAJ) February 11, 2019 Cardi B and Nicki Minaj were set to co-headline the BET Experience this June in Los Angeles but Nicki is calling a foul of the play. She said that her label Young Money will not be participating. That includes Label CEO Lil Wayne, according to Nicki none of them will be there. BET has released a statement apologizing to Nicki Minaj stating: “BET loves Nicki Minaj. We have supported her from the very beginning of her career and will continue to do so moving forward. Nicki has paved the way for so many performers and has solidified her place as one of the most powerful figures in the music industry.Unfortunately the respect we have for Nicki was violated by this post that should never have been written. The post does not reflect how we feel about Nicki. And further does not reflect our company values. We deeply apologize for the hurt, disappointment and confusion that this post has caused. We are committed to doing everything we can to address the situation. We are also conducting an internal audit to assure these types of posts are not published again.  We have apologized to Nicki and her team. The post has been removed and we have taken additional appropriate action. We understand Nicki’s position and look forward to continuing our dialogue with her. Finally, we apologize to all of her fans. This should have never happened.” From Nicki’s response on social media, it doesn’t seem like she’s going to let up on her decision to not work with BET.

Anthony Davis To The Knicks? Kyrie & LeBron Back Together? All A Possibility, Reportedly

Source: Kevork Djansezian / Getty Pelicans fans are still recovering from the gut punch that was Anthony Davis’ trade request, but if you’re a Knicks or Lakers fan, this is the news you were hoping for. With the NBA trade deadline quickly coming teams that specifically have Davis on their radar are putting together possible trade packages. The Lakers have long been considered the favorites to land the unibrow rocking all-star, but the tanking for Zion Williamson Knicks could also be in play for Davis’ services according to Bleacher Report . With a first-round draft pick, the possibility of luring Kevin Durant away from the Golden State Warriors and Kristaps Porzingis as trade bait the laughing stock of NYC can turn into contenders once again. Per Bleacher Report : “The Knicks, on the other hand, haven’t been a preferred destination for years—but there are indications of that potentially changing. League sources believe they have “a strong chance” of luring Durant should he leave the Golden State Warriors this summer and that Davis is “open” to New York as a landing place as well. Throw in a pick in this year’s NBA draft that could potentially add Duke’s Zion Williamson or RJ Barrett or Murray State’s Ja Morant, and there’s finally a reason for optimism in Manhattan.” “To get Davis, a deal would likely have to involve Porzingis. The hitch, there is that any deal involving Porzingis, the soon-to-be restricted free agent, would have to be consummated before next week’s trade deadline as he couldn’t be dealt after the season prior to hitting free agency.” As for the Lakers, the report not only talks about the team having a good shot at luring Davis based on the fact LeBron James sharing an agent in Rich Paul, there is also rumblings of Kyrie Irving wanting to reunite with his former Cavaliers teammate. Fresh off the phone call where Irving revealed he apologized to Bron for his past behavior Bleacher Report source close to the Celtics is saying “that is for real,” about Kyrie’s genuine interest in an Uncle Drew and Bron reunion. Kyrie, Lebron and Anthony Davis on the same team? That sounds scary as hell. All of this because of one trade request, we can’t wait to see how this pans out in the Association. — Photo: Kevork Djansezian / Getty

Daaaamn Gina: Tisha Campbell Martin Granted Restraining Order Against Duane Martin After Claims Of Domestic Abuse

Source: Jesse Grant / Getty Judge Grants Tisha Campbell Martin Temporary Restraining Order After Ex-Husband Duane Martin After Domestic Abuse Claims According to TMZ , Tisha Campbell-Martin claims her estranged husband (Duane Martin) has been abusive for years and that he flew into a violent rage just last month. The sitcom star filed for a restraining order against Duane, alleging he once “punched her in the chest with a closed fist”. She also says in December, Duane “grabbed me by my arm to try to get me in the bedroom.” She reportedly filed a police report in January about the multiple alleged physical altercations. Duane allegedly started physically, emotionally and mentally abusing Tisha as early as the beginning their marriage in 1996 and that he berated her about her weight and inability to land roles because of her bigger size. “I can no longer live in fear of retaliation … the need to press criminal charges for his acts overshadows the embarrassment of making his crimes against me public through this report.” she claims. A judge  granted her a temporary restraining order that requires Duane to stay at least 100 yards away from her as they iron out the particulars of their divorce.

Chelsea Clinton: Pregnant With Baby #3!

Good news!  Chelsea Clinton and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, are expecting another child. The couple welcomed their second child in 2016, just before the world went to hell in a handbasket. And now they’re expecting their third child! Congratulations! On January 22, Chelsea Clinton took to Twitter to make the announcement. “Marc and I have loved watching Charlotte be such a wonderful big sister,” Chelsea’s tweet begins. “And,” she continues. “We’re excited to watch Aidan become a big brother!” Chelsea concludes: “We cannot wait to meet our newest addition later this summer.” That’s pretty vague — but we can look at the newest Clinton baby some time between the middle of June and the middle of September. Chelsea is famous, but not nearly so famous as her parents, Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton. When Chelsea was asked on Twitter if her parents are pumped for a new grandbaby, she responded. “They are :)” Chelsea writes. That is so sweet! Grandparents are always happy to see grandbabies born into the happy homes of their children. Chelsea is 38 and her husband, Marc, is 41. The couple married in 2010, and already has two children, as mentioned in Chelsea’s tweet. Their 4-year-old daughter is named Charlotte. Their 2-year-old son is Aidan. We are so excited for all of them to meet their latest addition! In 2017, Chelsea opened up about her experiences as a parent. “[Charlotte] loves singing her ABCs, Pharrell’s ‘Happy,’ ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star’ and more,” Chelsea shared. She continued: “We love that she loves to sing and we love to sing with her.” “She has told us we don’t have great voices so I think that is definitely karma!” Chelsea admitted. “[Aidan] will probably tell us the same once he’s talking,” she predicted. “Still, we will keep singing along with reading and talking to both our kids,” Chelsea concluded. Those activities are critical for a child’s intellectual development and for bonding. “Like so many moms,” Chelsea confessed. “I don’t think I will ever feel there are enough hours in the day to do all the things with my kids I wish I could do” She admitted that this is true “even on the days when I’m home.” “But,” she notes. “I know I am lucky to have control over my schedule.” She’s busy, but not in the same way that a single mother who’s holding down two jobs just to keep her child fed, closed, and housed is busy. “So,” Chelsea explained. “I can be home most weekends and in the mornings or evenings and hopefully both.” As we mentioned, we’re so happy for the Clinton family. Congratulations are in order. We only wish, as they must wish, that they could be preparing to welcome their newest child into a better, more promising world. Unfortunately, every day we wake up and check our phones for the latest horrifying news. Few are as aware of this as the Clinton family. And no one tried to do more to prevent our current nightmare. Let’s all try to look for pieces of good news and even slivers of hope to make it through each day without screaming. Baby news is good news.
