Source: David Wolff – Patrick / Getty A$AP Rocky truly showed what his compatriot A$AP Ferg meant when he rapped “Ride With The Mob” on the hook for his big single, “Plain Jane” after putting the mitts on a young man in Sweden. However, the footage of the fight has led to the arrest of the rapper and fashion icon. TMZ reports : Law enforcement in Stockholm tell us … cops busted A$AP on suspicion of aggravated assault. TMZ broke the story … the rapper and his team got into the brawl last weekend. We posted the first video of the incident, showing Rocky and his entourage tossing a guy and punching him. Witnesses told us the fight started because the man was hounding A$AP and his team over a pair of headphones he claimed they had broken. However, AR later posted a nearly 3-minute long video which showed the man had actually broken his headphones when he smashed them on the head of A$AP’s bodyguard. Even after that clear first shot was taken … Rocky is seen on camera playing peacemaker, trying to calm the situation. According to the outlet, Rocky will be held for at least three days while authorities examine potential charges. If charged to the fullest extent of the law, Rocky could serve a max of six years. — Photo: Getty

Knight Center Featuring: Boosie Badazz formerly Lil Boosie Where: Miami, Florida, United States When: 17 Sep 2016 Credit: Johnny Louis/WENN.com Lil Boosie needs to pay up. The Baton Rouge rapper has been ordered to pay six figures to the same security guard who pepper sprayed him and his security back in 2017 . It turns out that the fade Boosie and his team blessed said security with is going to cost the rapper a cool $233,000. Reports the Sun Herald : Baton Rouge rapper Boosie Badazz has been ordered to pay $233,128.54 to security officer Glen Kerley, who said in U.S. District Court on Tuesday that he was the one assaulted when a melee erupted outside Dillard’s at Edgewater Mall during black spring break 2017. U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola Jr. entered a default judgment because Boosie failed to show up in court and has not responded to court pleadings since his attorney withdrew from the case in March. After 10 minutes of testimony from Kerley, Guirola found that Boosie and a security guard, Larry Anderson, intentionally assaulted Kerley. Kerley is still receiving treatment for the concussion and neck injuries he suffered when Boosie, Anderson and a crowd jumped on Kerley after he pepper sprayed them to get them out of the department store. “I basically went to the ground and lost consciousness,” said Kerley, who sued Boosie and Anderson for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, gross negligence and civil conspiracy. Boosie and Anderson actually did countersue, but never pursued their claim. Of course, this is difficult to when you no longer have a lawyer on the case. Kerley made sure to mention that Boosie was one of the people who allegedly put hands on him. As for the breakdown of what Boosie is paying: $24,422.14 for medical expenses $706.40 in lost wages. $100,000 in punitive damages $58,000 in attorney’s fees. And post-judgment interest. Bruh…

Source: Pierre-Louis Ferre / Courtesy of Walgreens In February of 2019, Pierre-Louis Ferrer, a Parisian photographer, revealed his latest project, titled RAW. He shot a series of UV portraits using ultraviolet photography. The photos illustrate and show the true undertones of our skin and what the longterm effects of the sun will do on your skin. I had an opportunity to get my photo taken by the photographer through a Walgreens ‘Beneath The Surface’ Beauty & Skincare Event. It was an opportunity for me to see what products Walgreens was offering for summer and why I recently loaded up on sunscreen from my local store. Source: Pierre-Louis Ferre / Courtesy of Walgreens I was actually pretty impressed with my skin. I had the most sun damage on my forehead and inner part of my skin. On-goers marveled at how my skin didn’t have any sun spots. Nevertheless, the dermatologist seemed very concerned about my skin and its condition. She was a white dermatologist and I only mention this because I do believe it’s important to see a specialist who understands and knows your skin tone. Through Dove, I had the opportunity to sit with Dr. Mona Gohara, who chatted with me all things sunscreen and skincare to protect our melanin in the summer. I showed her the illustration and she actually told me my skin was great. I then dropped the big bomb on her. I don’t use sunscreen regularly. I don’t use sunscreen when I’m on vacations because I feel like my skin is deprived from the sun as I’m normally inside and I live in NYC. I’m a sun baby. I grew up in Florida where I regularly felt the rays dance across my skin. Dr. Mona explained that our melanin gives us a natural 13 SPF; however, we still need to do more. “The way Black and brown skin ages is with hyperpigmentation We have melanin, which is our greatest gift. Melanin protects us from the sun. Protecting us from the sun frankly, helps our skin not wrinkle as easy and maintain our elasticity.” She continued, “If you look at an 80-year-old white woman compared to a 80-year-old Black woman, the white woman will have wrinkles and sun spots. Black people will have hyper pigmentation, that’s how we age.” Melanin is our protector, but it’s also the active ingredient that makes us hyper pigment. It wasn’t just me, she sympathized that the average person is not diligent in sunscreen. Dr. Mona shared, “Diligence means a shot glass over your entire body every two hours. That’s how you are supposed to apply sunscreen.” However, it’s not only the sun that we need protecting from. Dr. Mona explained, “Sunscreen isn’t just protecting you from the sun, it’s protecting you from visible light, like light bulbs, and blue light, like your computer and phone.” While we may not be in the sun, how many hours a day do you spend on your phone or your computer? She added, “It’s now about protection from different types of light.” What’s so bad about looking on your phone all the time without protection? Dr. Mona stated, “Visible light can promote malasma and hyper pigmentation, so we are extrapolating other types of light that we’re coming in contact with like the phone and computer can be damaging as well, built we don’t know to what extent.” Source: Dove Beauty Bar / Courtesy of Dove If skin health is a priority, then sunscreen should be a priority. Dr. Mona educated, “90% of the visible signs of aging come from unprotected exposure to ultra violet light.” Black and brown skin also ages with dryness. Dr. Mona excitedly shared, “That’s where the Dove Beauty Bar ($5.49, target.com ) comes in!” She explained, “You should use any chance you get to infuse moisturizer into your skin.” The bar has 1/4 moisturizing cream. I’m in love with the lavender option pictured above and it definitely leaves your skin soft, smooth, and smelling good. Ever since I met with Dr. Mona, I’ve been diligent about my sunscreen and using it daily. The added moisturizing protection from my beauty bar also helps for me to keep my skin supple. What about you beauties? Do you use sunscreen? Will you consider using it more?

90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? viewers had mixed feelings as they watched an enraged Ashley dial 911 on Jay . He was no longer in the house. And her behavior in order to drive him out of her home went overboard — alarmingly so. While fans sympathize with her given that he had repeatedly cheated on her and then lied to her at every opportunity, many were upset with her actions. Now, with a cooler head, nearly seven months after that scene was filmed, Ashley is acknowledging that she went too far. Take a look below and see her express her regrets — and offer an explanation for why she acted like that. 1. Ashley Martson Looks Majestic 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? star Ashley Martson got all dolled up for a mock wedding photoshoot, and she looks stunning. 2. It started with Ashley’s quest for the truth Ashley asked Jay’s apparent only friends, the guys at the barbershop, i Jay had been sticking his tattoo needle in other girls, so to speak. 3. She did not like the answer Not only had Jay cheated, she learned that he had boned a girl AT the barbershop, taking her into the bathroom and banging her. The disrespect to the establishment got him roughed up by the owner. 4. She wanted Jay gone Ashley confirmed with the girl that Jay had banged her — not merely gotten a BJ from her, as he had claimed — and furiously packed up his belongings with the help of a friend. 5. When Jay barged into her house, she gave him a piece of her mind “You’re a f–king piece of s–t, I hope you know that,” Ashley told him. 6. She confronted him with the truth In contrast to his claim about oral sex, the girl had told Ashley that the two of them did “pretty much anything that you could think of” in that bathroom.

Source: Jason LaVeris / Getty White Chicks was received pretty well commercially upon its release in 2004, it won three awards and was nominated for 13 more– s o why not do a sequel? Fans of t he movie directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans, starring his little brothers, Marlon and Shawn Wayans, will n ow have something to look ‘White Chicks 2’ as confirmed by Terry Crews. The movie, which was about two undercover FBI agents going undercover as white girls to protect them from being kidnapped pulled in a cool $113 million and grossed just over $70 million. One of the more iconic scenes in the movie is when Terry Crews character, Latrell Spencer, takes one of the undercover girls out on a date, Marlon Wayans character, Kevin Copeland, is trying to make this date as unpleasant as possible. On the car ride Kevin turns on a pop station, in an effort to annoy Latrell, well the song that was playing was ‘A Thousand Miles’ by Vanessa Carlton, it created a great scene, and the song became closely tied to the movie. Crews also told The Talk on Monday that White Chicks 2 could see a pop song performance — similar to his iconic rendition of Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles” — saying, “I think the modern day equivalent to that might be the song by Carly Rae Jepsen ‘Call Me Maybe’.” There have been no further updates, or details about the movie released. But as soon as we get more, we will update. Check out Terry Crews reveal the news bel ow.
