Swae Lee went out of his way to issu an apology to Kimora Lee Simmons following a heated back-and-forth on social media between his ex-girlfriend Marliesia Ortiz and her daughters Ming Lee and Aoki Lee Simmions.

Kimora Lee Simmons posted a screenshot of a lengthy message Lee sent her apologizing for what went down between his ex and her daughters. “Hey I’m just writing to apologize if I came off the wrong way with the ex situation and having that blown out of proportion especially with your daughters getting involved,” he wrote to Kimora. The rapper also added that he treats her daughter with nothing but respect and would never intentionally do anything to make her look bad. It looks like the message worked in his favor, because Kimora Lee Simmons ended up posting the screenshot to her Instagram story and letting the world know that she accepts his apology. “What a nice young man, of course, we accept your apology and we send you love.” View this post on Instagram Oop!

Source: SplashNews / Splash News Antoine Fuqua Fathered Son From Extramarital Affair We’ve been hearing a lot of folks saying that Nicole Murphy is getting too much of the blame for the “friendly” kissing she and Antoine Fuqua were caught doing in Italy. But apparently Fuqua’s time of reckoning has arrived because his past indiscretions are being put on display. According to the YBF , court records show Fuqua fathered a son during his 20 years of marriage to Lela Rochon: The Equalizer director admitted to fathering a son, named Roman Jimenez, with a woman named Ruth Jimenez, in court documents dated August 2010. In the paperwork ( obtained by Hollywood Street King ), he revealed he was ordered to pay $10,000/month in child support and that he owed $86,000 in back child support. He was petitioning the court to lower his child support order to $3,134/month because he said he couldn’t afford the ordered payments. Hollywood Street King also reports allegations from a London model/actress who claims to have met Antoine Fuqua through Scott Steindorff and claims she had an affair with Fuqua. That model/actress also alleged she witnessed a second woman assault him while claiming he’d fathered her daughter. The model/actress claimed Fuqua told her ‘I f***ed her once bareback and now she had a kid for me.’ She claims Fuqua went home after the encounter “super stressed” because the woman had plans to call Rochon. The witness allegedly added, “How Lela still doesn’t know about this OTHER love child is a mystery to me. Unless she does and doesn’t care.” YIKES… Do you think all this attention will cause Lela Rochon to finally decide enough is enough?

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 .

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.
