Source: Lorne Thomson / Getty Lil Yachty has his eye firmly on the jig when it comes to “help” from Donald Trump. The Atlanta rapper says the POTUS doesn’t really care about A$AP Rocky and instead of tweeting needs to actually do something. The racist POTUS has taken to Twitter to claims that he’s been getting rebuffed by Sweden’s Prime Minister over his request to free the jailed rapper , who has now been charged with assault. “If you’re going to do something then do it,” Yachty told TMZ . “You don’t gotta keep telling everybody, just do it. He ain’t gotta keep tweeting.” He added, “I don’t think he doing sh*t either,” while expressing concern for Rocky who he considers his big brother. Many have clearly seen that Trump’s sudden concern over a rapper he never heard about is strictly for the sake of earning some votes from confused Black people who clearly don’t know any better. That knowledge being that Trump is an unrepentant racist, as his recent, ugly commentary about Elijah Cummings and Baltimore only reinforces.

It seems like K. paraded around with her doctor sweetie a while back and he disappeared. Earlier this year, K. Michelle took the initiative to seek out a surrogate to carry twin babies for her. She was successful, sharing the identity of her surrogate with fans. However, this left folks wondering if she would be raising the kiddies alone. Seems like K. just stopped talking about her relationship out of nowhere, but now she’s confirming he’s still around. In a posted and deleted photo, K wrote, “Three years late. I still love him and this picture. #WeStillHere”. You can see the photo of K. kissing her man on the cheek before it was deleted HERE . View this post on Instagram Perched. Waiting on “All Monsters Are Human” A post shared by K. Michelle (@kmichellemusic) on Jul 22, 2019 at 11:51am PDT We can expect to see more of K. Michelle on this upcoming season of ‘Love & Hip Hop Hollywood’, where she’ll be speaking more about her surrogate and babies on the way. How sweet! Are YOU surprised K. and Dr. Kastan are still together?
Stop us if you’ve heard this before, but… … we positively adore Tori Roloff. As we’ve noted on numerous occasions in the past, celebrities really do not get more genuine and humble than this long-time cast member on Little People, Big World. Or more relable, we can now add, following a couple recent Instagram posts by Tori. Roloff and her husband Zach, you see, are expecting their second child. Already parents to a cutie patootie named Jackson, the reality stars announced this summer that a sibling is on the way, confirming the blessed news as follows: “We are so excited to announce that Jackson is going to be a big brother! We can not wait to meet our sweet baby girl!” We’ve since learned that the baby is due around Thanksgiving. However, just a few weeks ago telling the public about this incredible news, Tori confessed to feeling quite self-conscious these days. “I’ve gotten bigger a lot faster than I did with Jackson and I’ve become a lot more insecure,” she admitted, sounding just like millions of other pregnant women and then adding: “Hearing people ask me if I’m sure it’s not twins definitely does not help (for all our sakes-don’t ever ask a woman this question. Like ever).” She continued at the time: “It’s been hard to really enjoy this pregnancy because I’ve let my own body image issues get in the way.” We’re sharing these words again now to remind readers of the mindset Tori was in for awhile — and yet this hasn’t stopped her from recently sharing the two new baby bump photos above. “Cruising around the Willamette with my favorite person was a perfect way to spend our anniversary! Love you so much babe uh!” wrote Roloff as a captiont to the snapshots. Previously, Tori made every piece of our hears shatter into a million pieces via the precious photos above and below of her stomach and of little Jackson. We just applaud her so loudly for overcoming her self-esteem concern and still baring her stomach for all to see. But that’s Tori for you! Consider the inspiring conclusion to her aforecited Instagram message… Us as women are so badass. Like we can grow babies. And I know I need to give this up to God right and be thankful for this gift-and I’m trying trust me. But for all those women out there-pregnant or not- you need to hear this just like I do. You’re beautiful, you’re strong, and dang it love yourself no matter what. I know someone besides just me needs to hear that today. So excuse me while I go try my best to live out these words and continue growing a freaking human being. Tori and Zach have been leading Little People, Big World cast members from the very first. And they’ll continue to be on the just-confirmed new season ! Hooray! View Slideshow: Tori and Zach Roloff: Secrets of the Little People, Big World Stars’ Private Lives
If you keep up with the Duggars, then you know that earlier this month, the family announced a devastating loss. Joy-Anna, who was 20 weeks pregnant with her second child with husband Austin Forsyth, had lost her baby. As Joy and Austin explained in an Instagram post, they had gone in for an ultrasound to find out the baby’s gender — she was pregnant with a little girl. But during the scan, it was discovered that the baby’s heart was no longer beating . In their post, they said that they’d named the baby Annabell Elise — Annabell meaning “God has favored me” and Elise meaning “God satisfies.” They also told their followers that although the loss was so huge, “God has given us unexplainable peace and comfort during this very difficult time” because “we know that we can trust the Lord.” “We don’t grieve as those who have no hope because we trust that we will see this little one again.” “What a precious thing to know that when our daughter opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the face of Jesus,” they added. So sad, right? Things got even sadder a few days later when Joy and Austin shared photos they took with their late daughter . In the pictures they posted to Instagram, you couldn’t see much of the baby besides the top of her tiny, tiny head, but they were just heartbreaking to see. They were controversial, too — lots of people thought they shouldn’t have shared something so personal . After that, they went back to posting photos of their son, Gideon , and their family adventures, but in their most recent post, Joy decided to touch on their loss once again. And again, it’s just really, really tough to read. For the image, she shared a bible verse that read “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” She wrote the same verse in the caption, along with another that says “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.” “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.” But in additional to the verses, she also wrote a little message of their own. “Our hearts are healing,” Joy began. “Yes, those days come that I miss my little girl so much. Wishing I could have met her, seen Austin love on her and Gideon play with her.” “Yet,” she wrote, “God has given us so much comfort.” “People say that I am strong, but I am not.” “It is Jesus’ strength that has carried me through,” she insisted. “He’s given me a peace that passes all understanding and he has given me His JOY.” It’s so lovely that she’s able to find such comfort throughout this whole tragedy — and whether you love or hate the Duggars, this is clearly a terrible thing for someone to go through. We hope that she continues to heal from this, because again … it’s all just way, way too sad. View Slideshow: 34 Stars Who Have Suffered a Miscarriage

Since his rise to stardom, 21 Savage has made an effort to continually give back to his community as much as he can.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Saint Laurent Don (@21savage) on Jul 27, 2019 at 2:42pm PDT 21 Savage has focused a lot of his energy on his philanthropic efforts this year, which includes expanding his 21 Savage Bank Account Campaign by teaching a monthly online seminar on financial literacy, as well as promising to give jobs to at-risk Atlanta youth. Before last year’s back-to-school drive, the rapper spoke with VIBE on the importance of helping his community in Atlanta. When talking the about the event, 21 said, “I went to school in Dekalb and Gwinnett County. This is important since we didn’t have this as kids.” His co-manager Meezy added, “It takes being from here to understand what is needed. This is Dekalb County, I grew up here and I want to make sure these kids have nothing to worry about.” Shoutout to 21 Savage for always luuhhhhhvin da kids!

Barraza/WENN.com / WENN Issa Rae Provides An Update On The State Of Insecure Season 4 Issa Rae has a lot going on right now, but contrary to what a lot of fans might be thinking, she hasn’t forgot about Insecure . According to reports from Deadline , Issa confirmed the show’s Season 4 shooting schedule will begin in September during the TCA panel for A Black Lady Sketch Show, where she serves as executive producer. Not only that, she confirmed that this upcoming season will have ten episodes instead of the usual eight. To say fans are getting impatient while waiting for another season of Insecure is an understatement–but the renewal was announced almost a year ago, so it’s definitely understandable. View this post on Instagram We're making it official. #InsecureHBO has been renewed for Season 4. A post shared by @ insecurehbo on Sep 6, 2018 at 11:03am PDT With that being said, Issa’s IMDB is full of impending projects right now, so it’s pretty easy to understand why we had to wait a little bit longer for a few more eps of Insecure . There’s still no word on when we can expect the show to actually air, but more episodes and a filming schedule is a step in a good direction. Look out for Season 4 of Insecure sometime in 2020!
R evolutionary activist and author Angela Davis has been instrumental in evoking social and political change. Just a year after it was announced that her collection of work would be added to Harvard University’s library , the Alabama native will now be inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame, the University of California Santa Cruz reported. UC Santa Cruz emerita professor Angela Davis will be inducted into @WomenoftheHall alongside Gloria Allred, Sonia Sotomayor, Flossie Wong-Staal and more in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. https://t.co/YbzRptwKgm — UC Santa Cruz (@ucsc) July 12, 2019 The former UC Santa Cruz professor will be honored during the institution’s centennial celebration of the women’s suffrage movement. Davis—a former member of the Black Panther Party—has utilized her platform to spread awareness about racial inequality and mass incarceration. She also served as a member of the Students Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and was jailed in the early 70s after for allegedly trying to help free imprisoned activist George Jackson . After being acquitted in 1972, Davis turned to education and lectured around the world about history and consciousness. She also penned ten books that were focused on feminism, race and incarceration. “I would say that as our struggles mature, they produce new ideas, new issues and new terrain on which we engage in the quest for freedom,” she said in an interview with The Nation . “Like Nelson Mandela, we must be willing to embrace the long walk toward freedom.” Davis will be inducted along with nine other influential women who dedicated their careers to the advancement of women and fighting for equal rights. Amongst the 2019 inductees are U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor , women’s rights attorney Gloria Allred , scientist Flossie Wong-Staal , musician Laurie Spiegel , actress Jane Fonda , artist Rose O’Neill , former United States Representative Louise Slaughter , lawyer Sarah Deer and retired United States Air Force officer Nicole Malachowski . “We are pleased to add these American women to the ranks of inductees whose leadership and achievements have changed the course of American history,” Betty Bayer , President of The National Women’s Hall of Fame, said in a statement. The institution—which was founded 50 years ago—is the country’s oldest organization that has been dedicated to highlighting the accomplishments of women in different sectors. The induction ceremony is slated to take place on September 14.

Source: Adriana M. Barraza/WENN.com / WENN Woman Arrested After Threatening Violence At The Swedish Embassy Weeks after his arrest, A$AP Rocky is still in Swedish custody–and as the calls for his release become louder and louder here in the US, one woman is taking her support to a whole new level. According to reports from NBC 4 Washington , 26-year-old Rebecca Kanter was arrested on Tuesday after she allegedly threatened to “blow up” the Swedish Embassy in Washington D.C. during a protest of the rapper’s incarceration. A Secret Service Officer stated that Kanter first appeared at the Swedish complex on Monday, which is when she “threw liquid from a glass Coca Cola bottle at the doorway and yelled out ‘I’m going to blow this motherf***er up.’” She reportedly left the premises before law enforcement could intervene, but she went on to social media to write about her efforts. “Why isn’t it breaking news that I defiled the House of Sweden last night, that I vandalized the Wold Bank, that I vandalized the IMF,” she wrote online, according to a criminal complaint . “Why aren’t I getting press for ASAP?” Weird flex, but okay. Here’s your press, ma’am. Kanter returned to the scene the following day, allegedly shouting profanities at embassy personnel and a student tour group. She was also accused of damaging property within the building. When Embassy staff demanded that Kanter to leave the premises, she refused–which is when the police were called. The 26-year-old was arrested by secret service and booked on charges of willfully injuring and damaging property of a foreign government and refusing to depart a foreign embassy. She has reportedly been released on bond and is scheduled to appear in court on July 31.
