Source: Instagram / Instagram Tekashi69 might be fighting a losing battle trying to secure airplay on HOT 97. He was turned away at Summer Jam this past weekend. The rainbow haired rapper took to Instagram Live as he and his crew attempted to enter to the New York Hip-Hop station’s annual concert but were turned away. Naturally the rejection did not sit well with the Brooklyn native which lead to several rounds of arguing with police on site at the event and even a confrontation with local rapper Loccie Shmula. Of course Shmula took to social media to explain the backslide. While at the time it was uncertain why the Brooklyn native was denied entrance, HOT 97’s Ebro Darden has confirmed that he wasn’t invited to perform. “Reason we didn’t have you on Summer Jam is cause you don’t know how to shut up bro” he explained on “You Played Yourself” segment during the Ebro In The Morning show. Darden went on to detail how he was trying to give him some stage time but things went left. “I had a whole thing but I wasn’t gonna tell him in advance because his dumbass doesn’t know how to shut up,” Ebro said. “We had a whole plan. People was working. People really wanna help this kid but he doesn’t know how to shut up.” The former executive turned on-air personality also alleges that Tekashi allegedly covered up his face tattoos to get pass security. “Well if Summer Jam really fell off so bad fam, why you outside with makeup on covering up your tattoos trying to get inside?” You can view Ebro’s response below.

In a recent interview, Issa Rae let it be known that she’s about to take it there . She told The Hollywood Reporter the upcoming season will address toxic masculinity and adulting, so we hope everyone can handle having to take a look in the mirror. She tells the publication, “I don’t want to give anything away! But I love black masculinity as it relates to black women. I think that’s something interesting that we haven’t gotten a chance to explore yet — and specifically toxic male black masculinity as it relates to black women. I’m trying to find a way to explore that and get a rounded storyline that isn’t preachy.” Issa adds, “This season is about adulting in a new way. I think we’ve watched our characters really fumble and fuck up — and in some ways in your 20s you are allowed that — but this season is about not acting like you’re naive anymore or that you don’t know better. So it is about, what does it look like to know better and to do better?” As for where she draws inspiration for the Insecure storyline, Issa reveals “I’m definitely mining experiences from my own life, especially for my character. And then we tap into the lives and instances and moments a bunch of our writers bring to the room, as well. I think that’s a fun part — everybody has a piece of their life in the show.” Hit THR for Issa’s full interview and get excited for her return to your living room later this summer.

But some members of law enforcement actually realize that they’re human too, and don’t mind showing civilians that side of them. Just like Columbus cop, Officer AJ , who took the stage at Summer 614 Concert and showed off his best “Shoot” dance moves.

But as far as dancing goes — the folks you’d least expect are the ones with the moves. And we ain’t mad.
Jenelle Evans 1, MTV 0. It appears as if this controversial cable network personality has won her stand-off against producers and executives, following many weeks’ worth of speculation that Evans may be fired from Teen Mom 2 . Such rumors ran wild around the Internet because Jenelle basically initiated her own boycott of the program. After MTV fired her husband, David Eason, as a result of his many homophobic remarks, Evans refused to film. She especially took a strong stance against filming the Teen Mom 2 reunion special in New York City last month, refusing to attend unless the network footed the traveling expenses for her and David. Producers refused. And Evans remained true to her word. She skipped the taping. (And, in the process, she missed quite an explosive situation, as Briana DeJesus and/or her sister allegedly brawled on stage with Kailyn Lowry as cameras rolled.) However, Radar Online now reports that Evans has essentially come out on top in this quasi game of chicken with her bosses: She WILL be part of the reunion special after all. How is this possible? Considering the special has already been filmed? MTV has agreed to send Dr. Drew Pinsky down to North Carolina to film a separate, one-on-one interview with Evans that will be incorporated into the reunion. The network has stood strong against Eason, though, as he will play no role in this filming. “ MTV arranged for Jenelle to film with just Dr. Drew in North Carolina after she threw a temper tantrum and refused to face the other girls without David,” an insider tells Radar, adding of the arrangement: “She is scheduled to film on Sunday, but David can’t be anywhere near filming. “So either he has to leave the house or Jenelle will have to go somewhere else to film.” Either way, it’s hard not to see this as a victory for Jenelle. The veteran reality star basically went on strike and dared MTV to fire her… … and the higher-ups responded by actually heading to down to Jenelle’s hometown just to make sure she remained part of the show. It’s worth noting that her mother, Barbara Evans, and her son, Jace, both traveled and filmed the Teen Mom 2 reunion in The Big Apple the the weekend of May 19, 2018. And they may very well have some negative things to say about Jenelle. But she’s also heard it all before. She can likely handle it. Just a few weeks ago, Evans got into serious legal trouble and faced major backlash after reportedly pulling a gun on a driver during a fit of road rage. Once again, chatter swirled after this incident that the famous teenage mother may get canned. And, just to be clear, this may still end up happening. She may very well film her reunion interview and then not have her contract renewed. But even if this ends up being the case, check out the photo gallery and story below: Evans and DeJesus are already lining up their post-Teen Mom plans: View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans & Briana DeJesus: Starring In Their Own Teen Mom 2 Spinoff?!
Scott Disick rose to fame, of course, as a cast member on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Which is kind of ironic, it turns out. Because Scott Disick cannot keep it in his pants. Indeed, multiple celebrity gossip outlets are now reporting that Sofia Richie has broken up with Disick because she thinks he cheated on her with another woman. We’ll wait for you to pick up your jaw from the floor before continuing with any further detail… All ready? All set? Has the complete and total shock of this news worn off? Okay then: “He cheated on her in Miami and she found out and told [her father] Lionel,” a source tells Us Weekly, adding: “He said he is going to cut her off and write her out of his will if she continues her relationship with Scott as he thinks he’s extremely toxic for her.” Yikes. Lionel Richie has made it clear in the past that he h opes his daughter cuts Disick loose . E! News, meanwhile, an outlet typically locked in to the happenings surrounding anything or anyone Kardashian-related, echoes this account. An insider tells this website the same thing: Disick stepped out on Richie in Miami, not very long after the stars returned from a romantic trip to St. Bart’s, and Sofia’s dad really did play a key role in the break-up. The couple was also still technically an item when Disick was spotted getting very cozy with some woman at Kanye West’s album listening party in Wyoming just a few days ago. Sofia “is upset and sad but feels like she had no choice and she couldn’t stand for being cheated on and being in such a toxic relationship,” says an E! source. This same individual adds that Disick “unphased by [Richie’s] decision” and “doesn’t seem to care too much.” Disick, who has two daughters and a son with Kourtney Kardashian, may now “spiral out of control immediately without Sofia around ,” E! continues. Scott and Kourtney were together for about nine years (off and on, that is) until Disick spent a few weeks partying too much in the summer of 2015. Aside from once again putting booze before his loved ones, Disick allegedly hooked up at the time with an ex-girlfriend. He’s always had difficulty remaining loyal as a boyfriend. So it’s hard to say we’re blown away by these reports, although the timing is rather incredible, even for someone we trust as little as Disick. He and Richie had just taken a vacation together, during which the latter shared the following image and also wrote, in celebration of Scott’s 35th birthday, that she loves Disick . It now looks as if the dropping of this L-Bomb has blown up in Sofia’s face. Writes E!: “She is relying on her family for support and they are trying to keep her busy. She is spending her time with them and with her close friends.” People Magazine also confirms this split and also confirms that Disick’s “sloppy” actions when drunk are what led to the parting of ways. But will it be permanent? Maybe not, in Disick’s misguided view. “He thinks she might change her mind. He isn’t really taking it seriously,” a source tells People. Disick and Richie were together for about a year. Folks were taken aback to see them together in Cannes in May of 2017… and then even more taken aback when the relationship ended up being more than a fling. Although, in Disick’s mind, let’s be honest: everything in life is a fling. View Slideshow: The Good, The Bad, The Lord: 23 Times Scott Disick Owned Reality TV

While Maze featuring Frankie Beverly or the “Cha Cha Slide” are the most popular go-to’s, it appears there’s a new dance in town and it’s all thanks to Ella Mai’s “Boo’d Up”.
