City Girls rapper, JT, just celebrated her 29th birthday and her boyfriend, Lil Uzi Vert, made sure her day was very special. The birthday festivities started off with a simple birthday dinner then escalated from there. At dinner JT had a heartfelt card waiting on her with details of what to expect for her gift. Uzi had cute hand-drawn images on the card as well as a heart and rocket, indicating that she would now be able to jet off into the sunset. Inside the card was a pair of keys to her brand new whip waiting outside the restaurant!

It is reported that her man dropped nearly $300K on the McLaren 720S! JT was just as surprised as the rest of the world and could be heard saying “Oh My Gosh, look at the wheels!” in her video posted on Twitter.

JT also took to Twitter and Instagram to express her excitement and appreciation towards her boyfriend.

“I’m so in love! I never thought I would be, I am pinching myself.” The next tweet gushed, “I’m screaming, Uziiii wtf! I was not and did not expect this!”

We’re not exactly sure how long the pair have been a couple but it seems as though the romance began to flourish back in March when Uzi tweeted “JT is the one.” The rapper gave his beloved a diamond-encrusted chain and matching ring in April, per Complex. Jatavia also gushed about Uzi showering her with lavish gifts as she served time in prison for credit card fraud.

“I could only fit $30,000, and I was so mad,” JT admitted. She added, per Complex, “I don’t want to keep talking because I don’t want it to seem like I’m bragging. I have a good man. I didn’t even know he was a good man. I was f***ing with him for almost two years before I found out he was a good man.”

However, the party didn’t end there! Lil Uzi then surprised her with a trip to Nickelodeon Studios Park at the American Dream Mall in New Jersey. He rented out the entire place for his boo and all 20 of her closest friends for a whopping $50K!

To top off the night, the “rapper fashion killa”, gifted his love a luxury handbag, a huge bouquet of pink roses, birthday cake, and an extravagant suite where the bed was completely transformed with flowers that spelled out “I love you JT” in three different shades of blue. Talk about the perfect ending to a wonderful birthday!

It’s safe to say that JT thoroughly enjoyed her celebration and we can’t wait to see what Uzi has in store next year for her birthday when she turns the big 3-0!

“They can steal the recipe but the sauce won’t taste the same”—Kim Kardashian would definitely understand this caption better than anyone so we get why she felt comfortable enough to use it.

Fans went into speculation that Kim Kardashian dissed her ex-BFF Larsa Pippen over a savage comparison made in the trailer for Peacock’s revival of “The Real Housewives of Miami.”

Fellow castmate Adrianna de Moura entertained the pettiness that’s been brewing for years by saying to Larsa,

“You left this group of women, come back with a butt as big as Kim Kardashian’s, trying to become the new Kim Kardashian, which you’re never going to be!”

Soon after the trailer was aired, Kim took to her Instagram to post a selfie along with the catchy caption, and immediately fans assumed the SKIMS founder was throwing shade towards Larsa.

A fan commented “If this is the shade she was throwing, I am alll here for the pettiness,” Kim responded:

“No shade throwing, I don’t do subs. I want everyone to win. I just had a good caption LOL.”

The BFF’s discontinued their friendship during Kim’s marriage to Kanye West. Larsa suggested Kanye would dictate who his wife hung out with.

“He talks so much about me being this and that and this and that,” she said in a podcast chat in November 2020. “I just feel like Kanye was in a place where he really didn’t trust anyone with Kim. If Kanye feels like him and Kim are better without me, then let them be without me. I’m OK with that. … I will survive,” she added. “I want everyone to be happy!”

Now that Kim and Kayne have split and her new romance with Pete Davidson is slowly flourishing, maybe the besties can rekindle their relationship and pick up where they left off.

Check out the “The Real Housewives of Miami” premiering Thursday, Dec. 16 on Peacock.

Rico deserves so much better!

2nd Annual Porn Hub Awards - Arrivals

No matter how larger-than-life celebrities appear to be, they are very much human. Life on the road is difficult even when the thousands of people in the crowd are adoring fans. On Saturday night, Rico Nasty took to Twitter to vent about the strain of being mistreated and disrespected night after night opening for Playboi Carti on the King Vamp Tour.

“I dead a** need at least two hours out of each day. To just cry,” she wrote in the now-deleted tweets. “Crazy how I wanted a tour bus my whole life and now I just be on the tour bus crying myself to sleep every night.”

Fans and friends were even more concerned when Rico also tweeted, “I wish I was dead just as much as y’all do trust me…Y’all win.”

Despite the massive tragedy that happened at Astroworld Fest a few weeks ago, there seems to be no effort to control the crowds at these shows as they’ve been seen verbally and physically abusing Rico during her performances. Tour attendees have made a habit of booing Rico, chanting for Carti to come out while she’s still in the middle of performing.

It’s hard enough to tolerate the constant disrespect, but it’s escalated to throwing bottles at her on stage. JT also called out that disgusting behavior earlier this month.

Carti brought Rico onstage during one of his performances last week to hug it out, but he still hasn’t publicly said anything to defend Rico or condemn his fans for mistreating her on tour. Meg Thee Stallion, Kehlaniand “Money” collaborator Flo Milli have posted loving messages for the artist online.

Fans also responded to Rico’s vulnerable and concerning tweets with an outpouring of love and support, noting that she has more than enough talent, hit songs, and amazing performance skills to headline her own show.

Maybe we do need Rico in an all-women line-up with Megan, Kehlani, or Flo Milli because this current situation is unacceptable.

We love you, Rico! Keep your head up, sis.

Seems like every month a new rapper is linked to being involved with Saweetie! This time it happens to be Atlanta’s own Lil Baby, and he had a few words to say about it.

Saweetie and Lil Baby

Lil Baby put out a mini-statement via Twitter Thursday night that read, “Baby not dating NO ONE!! I’m Single!” This statement came after news hit the internet claiming he and the West Coast rapper were an item.

A report claimed Baby had taken Saweetie on an $100,000 shopping spree in New York City. According to the source, there is surveillance video footage captured on a nearby security camera of the two in the Chanel store.

Per usual, fans chimed in on Twitter and had to add in their two cents. One person posted, “Damn, Lil Baby dating Saweetie, Quavo’s Ex , and they were labelmates? The Quality is not under Control.”

Another person posted, “Saweetie said she wanted a baby whole time she was talking about lil baby???”

Lil Baby co-parents his 2-year-old son Loyal with IG model and young business mogul, Jayda Cheaves. The pair had been dating on and off for several years and Hollywood Unlocked noted that Cheaves “liked” their Instagram post about the rapper’s supposed date with Saweetie.

Saweetie and Quavo called it quits earlier this year after dating exclusively since 2018. Just months after they announced their break up a video surfaced that showed them engaged in a physical altercation in an elevator.

Saweetie has not made a comment on this rumor and most likely, she won’t. Sis is very much booked and busy. Saweetie just earned two Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best Rap Song for the the Doja Cat collaboration “Best Friend.”

We see you, Josephine Glacier!

Saturday Night Live - Season 47

Saweetie served sexy old Hollywood glamour in her Saturday Night Live debut as the musical guest. The “money-making mami” gave us a preview on her Instagram in a stunning emerald green gown and iced-out chandelier earrings.

The flawless beauty rocked a bright red bob and sparkling floor-length gown in her signature icy blue color for a retro performance of “Tap In,” the lead single from her long-awaited album, Pretty Bitch Music. Then Saweetie turned up the energy even higher with a transition to a bodysuit and her Doja Cat collaboration, “Best Friend.”

After the sexy thigh meat reveal, Saweetie joined her tutu-toting backup dancers for a sultry ballet-themed end to the medley. We’ve seen plenty of great pole-dancing performances already, so the West Coast baddie switched it up at the ballet bar. Watch Saweetie slay the SNL stage for the first time!

Saweetie returned to the stage against a backdrop of “icy” spelled out in giant illuminated letters. Rocking a sparkling corset-style mini dress, she was a show-stopper with her twerktastic debut performance of “Icy Chain.” Check out Saweetie’s newest single.

This may be Saweetie’s first time taking over the SNL stage, but with hits and star power like this, it won’t be her last. Both performances are even more impressive considering that a week ago, the “Slow Clap” rapper did double duty as a performer and the host of the MTV Europe Music Awards. She descended from the ceiling in a giant blinged-out snowflake like the icy icon she is before setting the stage on fire with her live performance in Budapest, Hungary.

Sis is clearly working hard and that perfectionism is why we’re still waiting for Pretty Bitch Music to drop. Saweetie previously told Rolling Stone, “I don’t want to just put my name on something and then put it out. For greatness, I have to take my time — and I’m literally starting from scratch.” She said she dropped several of the songs that were originally planned for the album because she’s “grown significantly through quarantine.”

The growth is definitely showing as Saweetie evolves as an artist. Pretty Bitch Music is expected to drop in early 2022.

What did you think of Saweetie’s performances on SNL? Are you feeling “Icy Chain?”

Lil Nas X isn’t playing! Or is he? It’s always tricky to tell with him.  The “Industry Baby” singer recently said that he’s bored with trolling Boosie, but the rest of us are still fair game. He already took us to heaven, hell, and jail, so what’s left? Maury!

This week the classic daytime talk show announced on Twitter that Lil Nas X will appear on an “all new EXCLUSIVE Maury” on Nov. 17. The hilarious promotional video promises everything that made the show an iconic guilty pleasure: a love triangle, a secret spouse, heartbreak, and of course, a paternity test!

Is any episode of Maury really complete without someone taking off running like Usain Bolt? The video shows the Grammy winner confronting his ex, Yai Ariza, about hiding a wife and child. Or did Yai just hide the world from his child? Either way, Lil Nas X (aka Montero) is the one sprinting backstage by the end of the clip. He perfected the form of the Maury run with his arms flailing backward to guarantee maximum ugly crying during the breakdown.

Fans will recognize Yai and his secret family from the super-steamy music video for That’s What I Want,” which is also the background music in the trailer.

Whatever Lil Nas X has planned must be major, because he’s been suspiciously silent on Twitter since his jaw-dropping transformation into Voldermort from Harry Potter for Halloween.

This unexpected cross-over left some people wondering whether the episode or even the rest of the Maury show is real. According to TODAY, a representative confirmed that Lil Nas X will appear on the show. The description for the episode breaks down all juicy details.

“On today’s all-new exclusive Maury, Montero and Yai are football teammates who quickly became lovers,” the episode listing said. “Montero was shocked to discover soon after that Yai was married with a child. Now, Montero is here to tell Yai’s wife, Ashley, about their secret love affair. Montero also needs to know if Yai is the father of Ashley’s child. Maury will get the answers they need. Will Montero get exactly what he wants?”

Last night Jay-Z joined the likes of Hip Hop icons like Tupac, The Notorious B.I.G., N.W.A., and Public Enemy as the latest rapper to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

You know you’ve officially reached goat status when our beloved former President of the United States, Barack Obama, gives you a heartfelt introduction.

“I’ve turned to Jay-Z’s words at different points in my life, whether I was brushing dirt off my shoulder on the campaign trail, or sampling his lyrics on the Edmund Pettus Bridge on the 50th anniversary of the Selma march to Montgomery,” said President Obama. “Today, Jay-Z is one of the most renowned artists in history and an embodiment of the American dream, a dream he has helped make real for other young people like him.”

Outside of Obama’s introduction, A-list actors and friends of the Brooklyn rapper each took turns reciting some of JAY’s most memorable lyrics in a pre-recorded video montage. This video included JAY-Z’s wife Beyoncé, Rihanna, Chris Rock, David Letterman, Queen Latifah, Lebron James, Diddy, Jamie Foxx and many more!

Last to round out the introduction of HOV was Dave Chappelle.

Of course, Dave wouldn’t be Dave if he didn’t lighten things up with a joke about the current backlash to his recent Netflix special. “I would like to apologize—I’m just f****’ with you,” Chappelle said before formally introducing Jay-Z.

“He rhymed a recipe for survival,” Chappelle said. “He embodies what the potential of our lives can be and what success can be.”

“It is an incredible honor to induct this next man into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. But I need everybody in rock’n’roll to know, that even though you are honoring him, he is ours. He is hip-hop. Forever and ever, and a day.”

In his acceptance speech, JAY-Z gave shout-outs to both his mother, Gloria Carter, and Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder, Dame Dash.

“Shout out to Dame… I know we don’t see eye to eye, but I can never erase your accomplishments, and I appreciate you and thank you for that,” JAY-Z said.

The 36th Annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony took place at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio. Don’t worry if you’re just finding out about the ceremony you didn’t miss anything, a pre-recorded telecast will air later this year, Nov. 20 on HBO and HBO Max.

It was a return to normalcy for the event, which was forced to go virtual in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A committee of 1,200 artists, historians, and music industry members, as well as a fan vote, determined this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class. In order to be eligible, a nominee’s first recording must have been released at least 25 years ago.

“It ain’t no overnight thing. You can’t stumble into this place.” Public Enemy’s Chuck D noted during a plaque induction ceremony on Friday at the hall

Other inductees included Carole King, Todd Rundgren, Tina Turner, the Go-Go’s, and Foo Fighters. LL Cool J was also celebrated with the Musical Excellence Award.

Ciara isn’t playing with us this Halloween! She kicked off the weekend’s festivities with a Halloween moment inspired by the late legendary singer Selena! In a skintight bellbottom jumpsuit, Ciara recreated her performance of “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” from 1995 at the Houston Astrodome Livestock Show & Rodeo according to Yahoo!

Me llamo SELENA!! Welcome to my show! Bidi Bidi Bom Bom 💃🏽 #Halloween

Anything for Selenas! This is a perfect example of appreciation without appropriation or disrespect of another culture.

“The Legendary Selena! I’ve been practicing learning Spanish and having the time of my life. So I wanted one of my costumes to reflect the LatinX culture. This was so much fun! #Halloween”

Then the “Level Up” singer did exactly that with an homage to TLC! Ciara rocked the iconic girl group’s futuristic looks from the “No Scrubs” video and it’s everything! She nailed every detail in the pictures she posted side-by-side with T-Boz, Left Eye, and Chili. Who didn’t want to be them when this music video dropped?

But wait, there’s more! Cici shut it down with a flawless recreation of the iconic music video. It’s no surprise that she nailed the choreography and angles, but check out how she channeled each diva’s crazy, sexy, and cool energy!

“No Scrubs Music Video Honoring my hometown girls TLC. Their swag was on another level. One of the best female groups of all time! This was so much fun!”

Whew, is it greedy to ask for the full video? Ciara set the bar so high before we even got to the actual day of Halloween.

What do you think she’ll do next for the final spooky season masterpiece?

Bow Wow is fed up with the 2021 Millennium Tour and had to get it outta his system in the wee hours of Saturday morning.

Mr. Shad Moss is currently on the 2021 Millennium Tour with Omarion, Yin Yang Twins, Ashanti, Pretty Ricky, Soulja Boy and more but it doesn’t seem like Bow Wow is enjoying himself.

The Y2K superstars hit Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina Friday night and not even 24 hours after the show Bow Wow went on an extended Twitter tirade about what he’s allegedly experiencing on the road.

“Too much bitching and complaining on this tour! Im bussn cats asses EVERY NIGHT! Every night they try and complain and take something away from me! I give 1000% and yall know it! ATL I HOPE YALL SHOW TOGETHER! IMA BUSS YALL ASS FOR 45 mins straight! TRY ME!”

As if that wasn’t enough, he then threatened to quit the tour altogether, adding, “This might be my last show! I’ve had enough!” Pretty dramatic huh? However, fans attending the show in ATL tonight don’t worry he promises ticket holders that he was gonna give them the show of his life, and seemed to indicate he’d be performing well past 15 minutes.

Omarion loved it, replying … “Energy!! energy!!” Atta boys!

So you’re probably wondering what’s really the problem? Apparently, it all boils down to his setlist and how long he’s allowed to do his thing in front of fans. In his mind 15 minutes just isn’t enough and homeboy wants to perform all his 106 & Park hits.

Sure enough our boy didn’t stop there! Bow Wow then took to IG Live to get a few more things off his chest claiming he was the brains behind the whole ‘Millennium Tour’ concept and Omarion and everyone else are really opening up for him. Guess he thinks he’s the Beyoncé of this here tour.

“They opening up for me,” Bow said. “I invented this whole wave, the whole shit. Me.”

Now of course, Soulja Boy wasn’t goingg to let that slide and commented on Bow’s rant, writing that there’s “Nothing to see here lil Pee we had too much casamigos last night.”

While talking on Twitter and IG Live, The Ohio born rapper also shared that he should’ve waited until 2022 to tour with Chris Brown. Wonder how true that statement really is? We do remember that during the same time Bow Wow and Omarion partnered up as teenage heart throbs, Chris Brown & Bow Wow also had all the young ladies in a chokehold.

Maybe this outburst and rant is all for show as the Millennium Tour makes it stop in ATL, which is considered Bow Wow’s second home, Saturday night. We’re sure fans can expect to see several guest appearances on stage tonight as well as pure entertainment from Bow Wow himself. The tour has delivered memorable moments for fans already! Lil Fizz popped it off when offering a public apology to his fellow B2K member Omarion for sleeping with his ex and baby mama Apryl Jones. So, maybe Bow Wow has something up his sleeves for tonight’s show.

Will you be in attendance for the Millennium Tour? If so who are you most excited to see? Let us know below!

More details have been released about the tragic death of Keyshia Cole’s mother Frankie Lons, who passed away on her birthday back in July of this year.

According to TMZ, the Alameda County Coroner’s Office determined the cause and manner of her death after performing an autopsy: accidental overdose from multiple drug intoxication.

This confirms what Keyshia’s brother Sam initially shared about her last day. He previously told TMZ the former reality TV star was at her home in Oakland, California when she relapsed while partying and celebrating her 61st birthday.

Keyshia wanted the world to remember Frankie for her hilarious scene-stealing jokes, bright spirit, and deep love for her family. They celebrated Frankie’s life in August with a beautiful homegoing ceremony at Greater St. John Missionary Baptist Church. Keyshia posted an assortment of pictures and videos with loved ones decked out in white and purple to say farewell with a balloon release and a dove release.

Their ups and downs together were well documented on the BET reality show Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is starting in 2006. In an Instagram Live celebrating and toasting to her life, Keyshia joked that the fans loved Frankie even more than her. Frankie was such a breakout star that she got her own show with Keyshia’s sister, Frankie and Neffe. Both Keyshia and her family have been supportive and determined, sparing no expense to help Frankie through her journey to recovery.

Rest in peace, Frankie! Thank you for teaching us all to laugh more, judge less, and do the Frankie Leg!

When it comes to R. Kelly, there’s alcways more sick sh*t to uncover. Buzzfeed News reports that on the 18th day of testimony, Cheryl Mack took the witness stand in the disgraced singer’s sex trafficking and racketeering trial on Friday. Mack, who is the mother of platinum music producer London On Da Track, stated that she didn’t want to be part of the trial, but she was subpoenaed by the prosecutors.

She first started working with Kelly in 2009 as a talent manager for a 17-year-old artist identified in court as Precious. Kelly offered to collaborate with Precious on her music and invited her to work in his studio. The young artist even started living in a hotel near the singer’s home. Mack said the partnership ended “abruptly” and Kelly demanded that she travel from Atlanta to Chicago immediately because her client threatened to sue him for sexual harassment. “He told me she was trying to file a lawsuit, and I needed to pick a team.”

That choice came with what Mack described as a threat from Kelly, “In these situations, people come up missing.” His manager and lawyer rushed Mack into signing a pre-written affidavit without even reading it. She recalled seeing questions about whether Kelly had sexual contact with Precious or gave her alcohol, but she isn’t sure if ever answered them.

It is unclear exactly what happened to Precious and her potential lawsuit against Kelly. Mack didn’t see Kelly again until she was working with Devyne Stephens, who was behind a comeback for the Pied Piper in 2013. After they reconnected, she continued working closely with Kelly as his executive assistant.

During her time as an assistant, she was bullied into signing one of the incriminating false apology letters other witnesses and survivors of Kelly’s abuse previously discussed. I apologized out of fear. I was 1,000% scripted,” Mack said. He was also financially abusive as a boss, refusing to pay her for 3 – 6 months as punishment for booking a performance that didn’t Kelly didn’t think paid enough money.

She saw firsthand how the very young women in his company were subjected to strict and humiliating rules like having to face the wall or flee the presence of any other men. While in his hotel room after a show, she also witnessed a young woman giving Kelly a massage that made the former assistant “very uncomfortable. That wasn’t my business, I was there to work.” That woman is one of the Kelly’s accusers in the trial who was only publicly identified as “Jane.”

The next day, Mack quit after Kelly lost his temper, screaming and cursing at her in the middle of a McDonald’s over a spoiled birthday surprise for his stylist at the time. So far everyone who worked with Kelly, seemed to be an enabler, a victim of abusive behavior themselves, or a combination of both.

Throughout her tesimony, Mack was very emotional. She often required long pauses before she could continue answering questions on the stand. Courtroom drawings depicted her clutching tissue for her tears. The trial will resume next week with more testimony  from clinical psychologist Dana Hughesa bout how underage girls are groomed for and cope with sexual abuse.
