Coline Creuzot whose collaborated with H-Town legends Paul Wall, Slim Thug, Lil’ KeKe, and Z-Ro has a track with Miami’s Diamond Princess. Creuzot’s released “Truth Is” featuring Trina that tells the story of someone reminding their significant other who they’re dealing with. The song already peaked at #24 on Billboard (magazine)’s Adult R&B Songs chart and this version with Trina is picking up steam. Coline previously said that she draws musical inspiration from real-life experiences. “The subject matter of most of her songs centers around topics such as female empowerment, relationships, love, and heartache. Creuzot told The Houston Press. “I draw off of things that go on in my life (past, present and my hopes for the future), and my outlet is to write and sing about it …You have to figure out how to channel things in a positive way.” Listen to “Truth Is” below.
When the world first learned that Tyler Cameron was dating Gigi Hadid, it was widely assumed that the attraction was purely physical and that the two of them would go their separate ways following a few weeks of very photogenic sexual escapades. Instead, something wholly unexpected has taken place: Against all odds, it seems that Tyler and Gigi have triumphed over their own superior genetics to form a really ridiculously good-looking monogamous couple. Tyler gushes about Gigi every chance that he gets. He even attended the funeral of Hadid’s grandmother , a move that reportedlty surprised the model’s loved ones, who did not realize she and Tyler had gotten so serious. Now, we’re learning that Tyler has made the ultimate sacrifice by passing up additional fame and the attention of few dozen single women in order to pursue his relationship with Gigi. As you’ve probably heard by now, Peter Weber has been named the new Bachelor. It seems the title could have been Tyler’s but he opted out, as he no longer considers himself a single man. “Yeah, it was something we talked about,” Cameron recently told Entertainment Tonight. “Where I was at at my life … I just didn’t think it was where I wanted to be. My heart wasn’t in it.” “I just I sat on it, thought about it, and my heart wasn’t in it,” he further explained. “And that’s something you have to be fully invested in. I was on the other side of it as a contestant, which is a much easier role than being the lead of the show.” Perhaps in an effort to soften the blow for Hannah Brown — who asked Tyler on a date after colossally effing up by dumping him in favor of Jed Wyatt — Chris Harrison claims Tyler made the decision not so that he could settle down with Gigi, but so that he caould continue to play the field “If Tyler is bouncing around from girl to girl and loving the life and enjoying the limelight, which, by the way, good on him,” Harrison told ET. “That’s fine. If that’s what you want to do right now, I don’t blame him,” the host continued. “He’s probably enjoying life really, really well — but that’s not someone we’re going to want to have as our Bachelor or Bachelorette,” added Harrison. “So, it’s about sincerity. It’s about where you are in your life. And if that’s where he is in his life, then he’s not the guy for us.” That’s mighty kind of you Chris, but we think it’s pretty clear that Tyler only has one rose to give out these days, and it’s got Gigi’s name all over it.

While most celebs do this series and list jewelry and other material items, Jharrel is a sucker for the sentimental things: he keeps a photo of his mother and his grandfather’s watch on him at all times.

Source: @JustInMyView / R1 Digital It’s no secret that Tekashi 6ix9ine has become the most famous snitch in pop culture since Salvatore “Sammy The Bull” Gravano flipped on J ohn Gotti and the Gambino crime family back in the late 90’s. With countless memes having been made comedically highlighting his dime dropping ways, Tekashi’s name has become synonymous with snitching across the Hip-Hop world with little to no sympathy for the troll turned government informant. But what will become of the rainbow-haired rapper once he gets out of prison and presumably thrown into the witness protection program? Will he still have a career in rap? Would artists and producers be willing to work with him as he walks around with that bright as his hair scarlet “S” on his person? Could he even live a normal life in the age of social media? The New York Times recently published a piece exploring what could await Daniel Hernandez once he gets out of prison and possibly leaves his Tekashi 6ix9ine days behind him. Minya Oh, best known as Miss Info, the founder of the hip-hop news website MissInfo.tv and a former host on the rap radio station Hot 97 in New York, called the 6ix9ine saga a “Greek telenovela tragicomedy,” and predicted that he would face a complex conundrum upon being released: curiosity would be at an all-time high, but within the hip-hop community, so would animus. “In the attention economy, just knowing that 6ix9ine might open his mouth somewhere is like shipping platinum,” she said. “But nobody with any of their own value will ever stand next to him. So he has to exist in a vacuum and can’t leave his house. All doable things for an artist in 2019 and beyond.” Labels would be reticent to allow their artists to work with him, Ms. Oh added, “But they all think when he gets out of jail, he will be a big draw.” But at what cost to the reputation of the label or the artist they pair with Hip-Hop’s “Henry Hill” ? Should Tekashi try and find that there is no path for him to get back into the rap game on the monumental scale he was at the height of his pre-snitch career, he can always go about the life of an everyday civilian getting by on a 9 to 5. Such a path would not be unprecedented. The government has successfully relocated and protected high-profile witnesses in the past; mobsters have started over as bakery owners, and reformed assassins have found new careers as doll salesmen, two former federal law enforcement officials said. “Despite how connected we are, and the appetite for social media content in this country, there are places where, if this kid gets a haircut and wears normal clothes, no one would know or care who he is,” said Jay Kramer, a former F.B.I. official who worked on organized crime cases. He might have to come out of pocket to get rid of his very recognizable face tattoos though as it doesn’t seem like the US is going to be coming out of pocket for cosmetic purposes. There is almost nothing in Mr. Hernandez’s background that suggests a capacity for discretion, and it is unlikely the United States Marshals Service, which runs the witness protection program, would pay for the removal of Mr. Hernandez’s signature face tattoos. If Tekashi decides to keep his facial features intact he might as well be signing his own death warrant because that alone is that visible scarlet letter that the world has become familiar with.

For the record, there is nothing funny about domestic violence , but banana pudding…the audacity bruh. According to TMZ , last week Dro pled guilty to 1 count of battery/family violence and sentenced to 12 months in prison. However, he was ordered to only serve 70 days. Reportedly, the “Shoulder Lean” rapper also is getting 20 days for time served and will have more time shaved off for good behavior. After all is said and done, Dro can be out by early October but he’ll be on probation for a year. Dro will also have to be alcohol and drug free during said probation and has been ordered to go undergo domestic violence counseling. Get your life right, Dro.

Collider is reporting that Will Smith will take on the role of the Harlem crime boss in the Netflix film The Council . Two-time Oscar nominee @WillSmith finds his 'American Gangster,' as he's set to play notorious NYC crime boss Nicky Barnes in the Netflix movie 'The Council.' https://t.co/hYySb58gqk — Collider (@Collider) September 24, 2019 The Council will see the actor teaming up with Peter Landesman again who also wrote Concussion which Smith also starred in. Per Collider: Concussion filmmaker Peter Landesman wrote the script, which delves into the never-before-told story of a crime syndicate consisting of seven African-American men who ruled Harlem in the 1970s and early ’80s. This was no ordinary crime syndicate, as the men dreamed of a self-sufficient and self-policing African American city-state, funded by revolutionizing the drug game. The movie centers on the Shakespearean court intrigue between The Council’s king, Nicky Barnes, dubbed “Mr. Untouchable” by the New York Times, and all the different members — as one unlikely rising protégé emerges. The Council won’t be Barnes first time on the big screen. In 2007’s American Gangster he was portrayed by Cuba Gooding Jr. and wasn’t too pleased that story revolved around Lucas. Barnes was arrested and sentenced to life in prison without parole. He eventually became a federal informant after he became upset with how his criminal empire was being run while he was behind bars. Barnes was released in 1998 and placed in witness protection. He passed away in 2012, information about his death wasn’t released until this year.
