For those who don’t remember, after the passing of Aretha Franklin , Black folks on social media were trying to decide who should tribute the legendary Queen of Soul at her funeral and other honorary occasions.

Under what rock did they pull that name from? — Awesomely Luvvie (@Luvvie) August 16, 2018 And baybee, Black folks were not here for Luvvie, a Nigerian immigrant who caters and speaks to a predominately Black American audience, coming for one of our African American musical greats. The discussion caused Tevin Campbell to trend with people expressing their support for him. (Not to mention, the discussion unearthed some other tweets that seemed to suggest a lack of respect for Black American culture). One of most influential voices in support of Campbell just happened to be New York Times bestselling author Roxane Gay and director, producer Ava DuVernay. Gay wrote: Smh. If you don’t know Tevin Campbell has the range… — roxane gay (@rgay) August 17, 2018 And in response, DuVernay not only expressed her support for Campbell online, she vowed to put some money in his pocket.

After rumors swirled that Tristan Thompson was no longer making an effort to be in Baby True ‘s life, Khloe responded to fans to say that’s not the case at all. “@ khloekardashian hunny keep raising your daughter the best way you know how. All she needs is her mom. You’re doing great. Keep ya head up,” one supportive fan wrote, at which point Khloe set the record straight . “Thank you love! You’re so very sweet,” the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star tweeted. “But he is a good dad to her. My sweet and special baby True will NEVER be put in the middle of him and I. I can promise that.” As we all know, Kardashian and Thompson went their separate ways after rumors swirled that he cheated (yet again), this time with Kylie Jenner ‘s BFF Jordyn Woods .

Source: Xilla Valentine / GlobalGrind March is Women’s History Month and we’re celebrating 31 different women over the month, spanning the worlds of entertainment, politics, local, global and beyond. Entry number 14 on our list is one of the women in Hollywood showcasing our stories, whether it be in the form of documentaries, feature films and more. Always looking to shine a light on the marginalized among us, this particular woman was the first black female director nominated for the Academy Award of Best Documentary Feature in 2017 and has made strides not only amplifying the voices of female directors but black men and children as well. She is Ava DuVernay, the visionary and one of our 31 inspiring women. Ava DuVernay ‘s story is one that there is no exact age you have to reach in order to find your passion or make it. Years after graduating from UCLA, the Compton born DuVernay tried her hand at filmmaking in 2007. Crafting a 12-minute short titled Saturday Night Life , it was in dedication to her mother as she spotlighted a single mother with three children taking her children to the grocery store. Who knew that some seven years later, her first major feature film would be nominated for Best Picture at the 87th Academy Awards? DuVernay became the first Black woman to helm a film with a budget of $100 million with 2018’s A Wrinkle In Time , a year after she was nominated for Best Documentary Film when she created 13th , a film centered around how the 13th amendment may not have fully led to the abolishment of slavery but rather established the prison industrial complex and focused it mainly on black and brown bodies. It’s not just the big screen when it comes to DuVernay making changes across the board. When she was announced as the show runner for OWN’s Queen Sugar , she decided to have all women direct each and every episode of the show. Much like everything she’s touched, it’s been critically acclaimed and then some. Not bad for a woman who didn’t pick up a camera to film and shape the world in her eyes until she was 33. FUN FACT: For all of her work, DuVernay is the first for a number of awards. She’s the first Black woman to win the award for Best Director at Sundance, the first black director to be nominated for Best Director at the Golden Globes and the first Black woman to have her film nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. QUOTE: “Creativity is an energy. It’s a precious energy, and it’s something to be protected. A lot of people take for granted that they’re a creative person, but I know from experience, feeling it in myself, it is a magic; it is an energy. And it can’t be taken for granted.” The world is a better place thanks to women like Ava Duvernay and if you want your world to be better and be free from painful fibroids, head to AlateHealth .

Source: Leon Provost / Leon Provost Remember what J. Prince told Kiotti , “Don’t let Instagram become your OG.” True enough, after video surfaced of some New York thugs hospitalizing and robbing YBN Almighty Jay , the Rap-A-Lot CEO put out a calm warning to anybody who was involved in the attack on Jay. Not even a week after the message, J. Prince was good on his word and got YBN Almighty Jay’s chain back in proper possession. J. Prince confirmed the news via Instagram on Tuesday, but didn’t provide details on how he retrieved the stolen piece. “Real recognizes real in every hood and has a way of connecting in spite of clowns and squares,” Prince captioned a photo featuring French Montana . “The homies from the Bronx, KT, @hocus45th and @frenchmontana kept it real with me and my son @jprincejr. Tho it was never about the chain, it was about the name that was built off of blood, sweat, and tears […] To @ybnalmightyjay I’ll be returning your jewelry soon Lil homie.” View this post on Instagram Real recognizes real in every hood and has a way of connecting in spite of clowns and squares. – – The homies from the Bronx, KT, @hocus45th and @frenchmontana kept it real with me and my son @jprincejr – – Tho it was never about the chain, it was about the name that was built off of blood sweat and tears. – – I welcome these brothers to our #MobTies movement and look forward to us doing business in the future together. – – There’s power in numbers and when strong brothers from the streets align themselves with one another, suckas tremble.

The assailants took off with Almighty Jay’s money, the chain and left him requiring a number of stitches to his face. The chain made an appearance in a Zae Numbafive music video, though Zae says he had nothing to do with the assault. J. Prince specifically called out Zae in a follow-up IG post, referring to the rapper as a “clown”. “They Recently Bragged About Robbing The Artist YBN Almighty Jay Whom I’m Invested In,” he wrote in the post last week. “They’ve Robbed Him Of His Money And Jewelry Including A Rap-A-Lot Piece. So Therefore They Have Robbed A Piece Of Me.” Unrelated to YBN Almighty Jay’s assault, Zae and three of his associates were arrested last week on federal charges, including attempted murder in the aid of racketeering. The men were allegedly involved in the shooting of an off-duty NYPD officer last October. RELATED: J Prince: “Don’t Let IG Become Your OG” [EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW] RELATED: J.

For the past few years Ray J ’s been getting more recognition for his storyline in Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood than for his music, but lately he’s been dropping some new material and today calls on a Hip-Hop Triple-OG to lend him a verse on a new cut. Linking up with LBC Hip-Hop OG Snoop Dogg in the visual for “Hallelujah,” Ray J finds himself getting turnt up with Snoop after getting a slap on the wrist from a judge who found him guilty on multiple counts of assault. This the same judge from the Paul Manafort case?! Keeping the scene in LA, 03 Greedo might be locked up but that isn’t keeping him from grinding as he lets some thickly talented strippers have the show and entertain viewers in his YG assisted clip to “Wasted.” Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from Quelle Chris, 38 Spesh, and more.

37 year old Nicky Whelan…may not be a household name to anyone and her glory days may be long behind her….but like every Australian…she has done her duty with a role on Neighbors…but unlike Margot Robbie…she moved to LA, but didn’t crack that LA life… She’s just a wild and crazy Australian party girl, who took a stab at Hollywood, got a few roles, probably lives a good life in LA…but is not that A-Lister she probably wishes she was…I mean she moved to America for this…being second tier is not what she hoped for… Her American dream is less about her own carer and more about marrying a big black football player…who got her a green card and probably some financial support….which for a chick with tits, is a solid strategy to offset her own failures of trying to have a career of her own… Hot tits for an old lady though… JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES!
