Unfortunately the power couple was unable to attend the festivities but in place they recorded a thank you visual that stole the show. Reinvisioning their “Apesh*t” music video, Hov and Bey spoke in front of a very regal portrait of the Meghan Markle. For those not in the know Markle is wife of Prince Harry which makes her the Duchess of Sussex, the first woman of color in the British royal family. “Thank you so much to the BRIT Awards for this incredible honor,” Beyoncé said. “You guys have always been so supportive.

Source: Paul Marotta / Getty Dave Chappelle Helps A Couple Get Tickets To His Show Though he might not seem like the most warm soul during some of his stand-up routines, Dave Chappelle is here to prove that he’s a genuinely good guy. When the comedian’s team got word of a couple who were scammed out of tickets to his show in Charlotte, North Carolina, he acted quickly to make everything right. Deidra Dickens and her husband, Eddie, were excited to buy some tickets to Chappelle’s stand-up show at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center on Valentine’s Day, according to reports from WBTV . Deidra bought the tickets for her husband–because he’s such a big fan–through a seller on Craigslist. She also ended up purchasing two additional tickets for another couple so they could all go together. After she transferred $500 to the seller–surprise, surprise–she never actually received the tickets. She filed a police report with the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department regarding the incident, but of course, that still wouldn’t get her and her husband to Dave Chappelle’s show. Representatives for the comedian got word of the incident and ended up reaching out to WBTV following their report on the couple and offered to help them out with some tickets. What’s even better: Dave Chappelle himself even ended up being the one to hand-deliver the tickets to the couple and chatted with them before the show. The comedian offered them some sound advice regarding future purchases: “Always get your tickets from reliable sources.”

Just days after being released on bond from ICE on Superbowl Sunday, now 21 Savage is facing a felony warrant from a 2016 alleged theft from a club gig he was booked on.

Email Submit According to TMZ Savage was booked on a club gig in Southern Georgia in 2016 where he took a deposit of $9,500. Upon showing up at the club Savage was to receive the balance of $7,500 from the promoter. For an unknown reason, Savage never took the stage but he took the cash for the club gig. The promoter filed a police report and paperwork to get a felony warrant for theft by deception in October of 2016. After the warrant was issued it just sat there for more than 2 years and no legal action was taken until now. The promoter went to cops in October 2016, filed a police report and then filed paperwork to get a felony warrant for theft by deception. The warrant was issued but sat for more than 2 years. The promoter claims that she was out of a whopping $17,000. If all this is true we assume this will not help his case of possibly getting banished from the United States.

Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty We told y’all the Grammys get no love in certain Hip-Hop circles. Although Drake won a Grammy for Best Rap Song, he used his acceptance speech to shade the organization. Drizzy actually picked up his hardware (he won for “God’s Plan”) in person, while acts like Jay-Z and Childish Gambino (who won Song of the Year for “This Is America”) were no-shows to the 61st Annual GRAMMY Awards. The Toronto rapper sent a message to the kids aspiring to do music, and his peers who make music from the heart, from the stage at the Staples Center. “We play in an opinion-based sport, not a factual-based sport,” said Drake. “So it’s not the NBA where at the end of the year you’re holding a trophy because you made the right decisions or won the games. This is a business where sometimes it’s up to a bunch of people that might not understand what a mixed race kid from Canada has to say or a fly Spanish girl from New York or anywhere else.” He added, “My point is, you’ve already won if you have people who are singing your songs word for word, if you’re a hero in your hometown. Look, if there’s people who have regular jobs who are coming out in the rain, in the snow, spending their hard earned money to buy tickets to come to your shows, you don’t need this right here. I promise you, you already won.” Where is the lie? Everyone at the #GRAMMYs is a winner tonight according to @Drake . pic.twitter.com/sQ1NqKXQ7m — CBS (@CBS) February 11, 2019 — Photo Getty

Omarion who rose into his celebrity from B2K fame is apparently hard to reach, according to Apryl. But it’s no fault of her own she told Keke, an on-air radio personality at WCGI. It’s him . Omarion is the stubborn culprit, refusing to be cordial with the mother of his daughter and son. Apryl also says ‘O’ was corny for denying she would be around this summer when he hits his “Millenium Tour”, because, by the grace of his band member Fizz, she will be there! Apryl has TEN tickets in every city so he will be seeing lots of Apryl on tour, despite trying to avoid her in real life! Hit play to listen… Why do you think this man is so uncommunicative with the mother of his children??? In another clip, Apryl explains why she wanted to slap Moneice back when they internet beefed…hit the flip.
