Source: John Shearer / Getty Harvard Grads Outrage Unearthed Blac Chyna’s Business School Hoax Earlier this week we reported that Blac Chyna was accepted into Harvard’s online business classes. Soon after , we reported that Chyna’s “acceptance” was a whole a$$ hoax. One which the internet is STILL mocking her for. Today, TMZ reveals WHY Chyna’s house of student ID cards came tumbling down. Apparently, Harvard graduates were NOT pleased with the idea that the “average Joe” could be enrolled in their school and be credited with one of their pretentious lil’ degrees. Harvard’s Board of Alumni says he received numerous calls from fuming alumnus who wanted the school to take action as they had been lobbying against the online business course for some time now. The outrage is said to have caused the school to investigate and ultimately out Chyna as a liar. It is said that a PR firm offered to take the class on Chyna’s behalf for just $1,000. This was a terrible idea on Chyna’s part, but something about angry white people descending upon her when clearly they have obviously taken issue with others in the past feels kinda gross.
Source: theo wargo / Getty Jay-Z Performs ‘B-Sides’ Set At Webster Hall Jay-Z always knows what to do to get people talking all while pushing the culture forward. The Brooklyn legend made New York’s Webster Hall great again for the venue’s reopening by performing one of his “B-sides” set with an intimate show. But it wouldn’t be a Hov show without some special guests in the building. Nas hit the stage with Jay to perform their 2007 track “Success” followed by the classic “Dead Presidents”, then the Queens legend closed out their set with “New York State of Mind”. View this post on Instagram #JAYZ x #BSides2 A post shared by Roc Nation (@rocnation) on Apr 26, 2019 at 11:19pm PDT One of the biggest surprises of the night was Jay brought out former nemesis Cam’ron to perform their 2002 collab “Welcome to New York City.” The audience went wild seeing the semi Roc-A-fella reunion, and ish got crazier once Jim Jones joined them on stage to perform “I Really Mean It.” Camron, Jim Jones & Jay z On The Same Stage. Free Juelz tho #TIDALxJayz pic.twitter.com/OfhLvFeKCQ — 2cooI2Blog (@2Cool2Bl0g) April 27, 2019 A standout moment from the classic performance was Hov’s tribute to the late, great Nipsey Hussle. He freestyled: “Gentrify your own hood before these people do it. Claim eminent domain and have your people move in. That’s a small glimpse into what Nipsey was doing. For anybody still confused as to what he was doing.” Jay’s “B-Sides 2” set is Webster Hall’s first show since it closed down for renovation in August 2017. Shout out to Hov for bringing the culture back to NYC in such a dope way.

Source: Mint Images / Getty Ain’t God good? Larry Mitchell Hopkins, Leader Of United Constitutional Patriots, Beaten In Jail The leader of a rancidly racist right-wing militia group recently got his a** beat, and it’s very much so the highlight of our day. Larry Mitchell Hopkins, the 69-year-old leader of the United Constitutional Patriots, apparently got hands and feet put on him in a New Mexico prison. Doña Ana County officials told NBC News that they’re investigating a battery against Hopkins that happened after 9 p.m. Monday, April 22. But they provided few details. “Hopkins was given medical attention for non-life-threatening injuries,” a Doña Ana County news release states. “He was transferred out of the Doña Ana County Detention Center under the direction of the U.S. Marshals Service on Tuesday.” His attack comes after he appeared in federal court in connection with a charge of him being a felon in possession of a firearm. Hopkins group reportedly prided themselves on being the “eyes and ears” of border patrol agents and targeted migrants, sometimes holding them at gunpoint until agents arrived. His band of merry men reportedly was 20 deep and they were “armed with AK-47 rifles and other firearms.” An FBI tip line blew the whistle on the United Constitutional Patriots actions and the FBI agent who wrote the complaint against them said Hopkins allegedly said the group was “training to assassinate George Soros, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama.” Hopkins’ lawyer has since called the accusation “categorically false.” NBC also ran down the laundry list of Hopkins’ criminal history. It reads as follows; “In 1996, Hopkins was convicted of possession of a loaded firearm and was sentenced to state prison in Michigan for 16 months minimum to two years maximum, according to the complaint.” “In 2006, he was convicted of felony possession of a weapon in Oregon and sentenced to 40 days in jail and 36 months of probation, the complaint said.” “At the same time, Hopkins was also convicted of criminal impersonation of a peace officer and sentenced to 20 days in jail and 24 months of probation, the complaint said.” Wow, what a patriot (sarcasm). It sounds a lot like Hopkins and his militia group were just racist azzholes targeting families and covering it up by calling themselves patriots. Do YOU agree?
Source: PYMCA / Getty Stormzy’s New Music Video For “Vossi Bop” If you’re not familiar with UK grime artist Stormzy then we highly suggest you watch the video then make yourself familiar with his past work. There is often debate among American rap fans as to whether or not UK rappers and grime artists have appeal across the pond. You’d think people would recognize that talent is talent, but a certain level of fear disguised as arrogance comes into play when our brothas and sistas pick up the mic and talk their talk. Shame really. Press play on the video below with an open mind and tell us what you think. Well?
Source: Noam Galai / Stringer / Getty Getting news in real time on social media wasn’t really a thing until The Shade Room came along — and now the Instagram account has found another way to be innovative while pushing the culture forward. Angelica Nwandu, founder of The Shade Room, recently announced that the digital media company would be producing its own original programs set to debut exclusively on their Instagram page. The four new original unscripted series (which will feature celebrity guests including Ray J , Amber Riley , Tami Roman and more) include “Petty Court,” a court show for guests to air all of their petty grievances; “Struggle Chef,” a cooking competition series and “F-boy Chronicles,” an investigative look into guys known as “F-boys”. Veteran television producer and 3 time Emmy-nominated showrunner Tarvenia “T” Jones and up-and-coming producer Judith Nwandu will produce the new series while Nwandu will serve as Executive Producer. Nwandu said in statement: “We’re thrilled to announce our first slate of original programming as The Shade Room celebrates its fifth anniversary this year. The series reinforce our commitment to providing entertainment that caters to black culture and allows us to collaborate even more closely with our Roommates, who truly make TSR feel like a family.” Will you be watching?
Farrah Abraham apparently thinks she is just like Beyonce. No, she doesn't have any singing or dancing talent — and she definitely is not admired by millions around the globe. But Abraham has said in a new interview that she views herself as being irreplaceable. (Okay, granted, in Beyonce's song “Irreplaceable,” she's talking about a cheating boyfriend being under the misguided impression that he's irreplaceable. But still.) The polarizing reality star has something to say about Bristol Palin leaving Teen Mom OG and even more to say about who she thinks ought to come on board for the new season. You likely won't be shocked by her answer. Scroll down to read it for yourself, however… 1. What is Farrah Abraham’s History with MTV? She was cast on 16 and Pregnant way back in 2008. She then starred on Teen Mom from 2009 all the way up through 2017. 2. And She Was Then Fired Because… … she appeared in a number of amateur pornography videos online. As one does. 3. But the Network Can’t Really Say Goodbye In late 2018, Farrah joined the cast of Ex on the Beach because, let’s face it, she’s a ratings draw. Viewers love to hate her. 4. And Now Farrah Wants to Save MTV From Itself… You see, Bristol Palin was brought in to replace Farrah — but ratings for her one season on the show tanked. Fans did not care for Bristol’s divorce storyline, or maybe they just didn’t care about Bristol herself at all. 5. See Ya, Losers! Dissatisfied herself with her role on the series, Bristol quit after just this one season, jumping up high on her pedestal and writing online: “Teen mom OG wasn’t a fit for me, it took away my peace.. and honestly – my peace has a price tag that no one but God can afford.” 6. She Added at the Time: “$ doesn’t impress me, I don’t entertain bs, and walking away from this show allows God to rebuild me (and my little fam) in the right direction.” View Slideshow
For months now, fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County have been expecting Vicki Gunvalson and Steve Lodge to get engaged. it’s not just that they’ve been dating for three years — this engagement may save Vicki’s job . Now, that good news has come at last! See Vicki’s announcement for yourself: On Friday afternoon, Vicki Gunvalson shared this sweet photo on Instagram. Notice her hand? Notice the ring? It’s hard to miss. “I said ‘YES,'” Vicki announces in the captions. She adds an engagement ring emoji, in case there was any confusion. For further clarity, she adds the tags: “#engaged #happy #mylove.” Us Weekly shared some insights into this welcome engagement. An insider reveals that Vicki is “so happy” to be engaged to the man she loves. And apparently Steve didn’t pop the question on impulse, either. “He got all of her kids’ and his kids’ blessings before he did it,” the source divulged. When he dropped to one knee, Vicki was “shocked,” according to the insider. Though Vicki made this announcement in the afternoon on Friday, the proposal went down earlier int he week. “He made her a romantic meal at home,” the source details. “And then popped the question on Monday night.” Awww! Steve shared the same engagement photo on his Instagram. “She said yes,” he writes in the caption. Steve added the tags: “#blessedday #engaged #happywifehappylife.” Vicki and Steve began dating in April of 2016. Three years is a fine amount of time to date at their age before getting engaged. But reports from earlier this year have suggested that there’s more to this engagement than romance. In January, Vicki missed the first two weeks of filming because she was still in negotiations with Bravo. According to a slew of reports, she had been demoted to a mere “Friend of the Housewives.” However, Vicki was soon back to filming, apparently as a Full Housewife. So how did the OG of the OC manage to keep her “orange,” so to speak? Apparently, she (or rather, her representative who did the negotiating on her behalf) made a major promise to producers. The deal was that Vicki would get engaged to Steve and that Bravo’s cameras would be there to capture the happy milestone. A few months later and bam, he drops to one knee. Of course, Vicki has been DTW (down to wed) Steve for a while now. “I am so ready for marriage,” Vicki affirmed just a year and a half into their relationship. “I’m a marriage girl.” “I told him from the very beginning,” she said. “if you don’t want to get married, then don’t waste your time with me.” Vicki said that this is “because I love being married.” “There’s no ring on right now,” Vicki said at the time. “But we’re taking it slow and have a great relationship.” “That’s the most important thing for me,” Vicki concluded. “Making sure it’s a solid relationship.” Even if this proposal may have been partially motivated by television, congratulations are in order to Vicki and Steve.
