Nicki Minaj Vs. Joe Budden

Our fave mess-magnet Nicki Minaj FINALLY got a chance to sink her claws into professional trash talker Joe Budden who appeared on her popular Queen Radio show on Apple’s Beats 1 platform where she SNAPPED on the brunch-booted bachelor in a deliciously messy segment that went left very quicky.

At some point, the two were on friendly terms which seemed like forever ago based on Nicki’s pink fury that stemmed from not-so-nice things Budden said about her in the past.

Yep, those things and those other comments he made during the shady Cardi-“Motosport” saga that came with big shiny receipts.

“If you wanna talk about specifics, I can sit up here and give you five specific moments,” snarled Nicki. “I’m saying that when I say what the f*** it is, that’s what the f*** it is. Another example is when I explained how ‘Motorsport’ came about and you were one of the people — it might have been you and your sidekick Akademiks.”

Whew chillay, it was a big, loud, crazy (and very entertaining) MESS that sparked hilarious chaos across the whole entire internet.

Peep the hilarious chaos over Nicki SNAPPING on Joe Budden on the flip.

If you were a fan of the chillingly silent horror flick A Quiet Place, you’ll be happy to know that the franchise is returning with an updated cast.

At first, Atlanta star Brian Tyree Henry was set to star in the movie. But now, according to Deadline, Henry had to be replaced because of scheduling conflicts. Luckily, his replacement is another big-time actor Djimon Hounsou. 

There’s no word on who Hounsou will be playing but he will have a starring role in A Quiet Place 2, along with Emily Blunt, Noah Jupe and Cillian Murphy. The movie will be written and directed by John Krasinski, who directed and co-wrote the original movie. Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller will act as producers.

The original A Quiet Place was a major sleeper hit in 2018, grossing around $341 million worldwide and earning an Oscar nomination for Best Sound Editing. The sequel is set to be released on March 20, 2020 by Paramount.

Chloe and Halle are extremely hard workers, but we also imagine the beautiful sisters are having the time of their lives.

They’ve got Beyoncé (and possibly Blue Ivy) on speed dial, are fan-favorites on the hit show Grown-ish, have flourishing music careers, and more. Halle was cast as Ariel in the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, which nearly broke the internet, and did we mention they’re gorgeous?

Over the weekend, the duo took to their joint Instagram account to confirm that life is POPPIN’. Using the Triller app, they posted a cute clip dancing to Meg Thee Stallion’s “Hot Girl Summer” anthem featuring Ty Dolla $ign and Nicki Minaj. The internet quickly commented on how beautiful they both are.

We love the easy breezy balance they have between sass and class. Check out a whole gallery of the ladies living their best lives below.

I think all 2000s nostalgics can be in agreement when we collectively say…

FINALLY.

The Video Vanguard Award has gone to major artists who’ve brought creativity and innovation to the music video game, and nobody embodies this criteria more than Missy. The Grammy-winning singer, rapper and songwriter will join the likes of Rihanna, Beyoncé and Justin Timberlake in receiving her recognition.

Part of what makes a great music video is a bomb dance routine and Misdemeanor easily meets this qualification with her memorable steps. Whether putting seasoned dancers in the spotlight or showing off her own moves, Missy has always honored this dynamic side of hip hop.

It’s only right that we celebrate Missy’s honor with a look back at her most iconic dance visuals. Hit the flip for all the heat and be sure to watch the VMAs when they air Monday, August 26 on MTV at 8 p.m.

Shari Headley Will Appear In ‘Coming To America’ Sequel

If you were excited for the upcoming Coming To America sequel then this is the news that you wanted to hear!

According to THR, Prince Akeem’s love interest in the OG flick has now signed on to return for the sequel! Shari Headley will be reprising her role as the beautiful Lisa McDowell.

There’s no word on exactly how she will be incorporated into the storyline, but as long as she’s in the building we are HERE for it!

Coming 2 America is currently set for a December 18, 2020 release, but prior to that you can see Shari in a comedy series called On Becoming a God in Central Florida starring Kirsten Dunst.

Are you as happy as we are for Shari’s return?

Only four months left in 2019 and it’s safe to say that things are hella than they were in the beginning of the year.

There’s a black, gay country rapper on the top of the music charts, breaking new records every week. Beyoncè dropped two classic, award worthy films with Lion King & Beychella, snatching edges all over the globe after taking a bit of a break for mommyhood.

And some of our favorite couples have decided to call it quits this year.

Young, white Twitter was in a frenzy on Sunday after new broke that Miley Cyrus and husband Liam Hemsworth split after less than a year of marriage.

Neither of the stars have spoken out since the news broke about the breakup, but Miley took Twitter with a super sus subtweet, writing:

“My dad always told me “ Nature never hurries but it is always on time”…. it fills my heart with peace and hope KNOWING that is true. I was taught to respect the planet and its process and I am committed to doing the same with my own.”

“Don’t fight evolution, because you will never win. Like the mountain I am standing on top of, which was once under water, connected with Africa , change is inevitable. The Dolomites were not created over night, it was over millions of years that this magnificent beauty was formed.”

Guess time does changes things. And change is inevitable. Check out more cool couples that called it quits in 2019.

Black Homebuyer Finds A KKK Application In Officer’s Bedroom

Rob Mathis was all in and ready to make an offer on a five-bedroom house in Holton, Michigan—that is, until a recent tour of the property.

A quick look through the home’s decor didn’t sit well with Mathis and his wife, Reyna. They felt uneasy after finding a NASCAR-decorated garage sporting two Confederate flags, Confederate placemats in the kitchen, and on top of all that—the home also belonged to a police officer.

The over-the-top Confederate decor found Mathis wondering to himself, “Wouldn’t it be funny if this was a Klansman’s house?” he revealed in an interview with MLive.

Then, he and his son went into a bedroom and saw a framed KKK application mounted on the wall behind a vanity.

“Application for citizenship in the invisible empire: Knights of the Klu Klux Klan” the empty application read.

Of course, Mathis told his son that they had to leave immediately.

Some Confederate flags and a KKK application are reason enough to high tail it out of that house, but unsurprisingly, this isn’t the only incriminating evidence against the police officer whose house Mathis was viewing.

Charles Anderson, a 48-year-old white police officer, fatally shot a black man, 23-year-old Julius Johnson, during a traffic stop in 2009. Anderson was cleared of any wrongdoing in Johnson’s death, per the Washington Post.

Rob Mathis ended up going public with the frightening information he found throughout Anderson’s home, posting about it to Facebook and talking to local media outlets about the harrowing experience. The City of Muskegon placed the officer on administrative leave on Thursday, “pending a thorough investigation” of the officer.

In light of the findings, Eric Hood, president of the Muskegon County chapter of the NAACP, has called for Anderson’s interactions with people of color to be reviewed.

Kimora Lee Simmons Served With Papers In New Custody Battle

Fans have always praised Kimora Lee Simmons for keeping good relationships with all of her exes, but apparently, something took a left turn in her post-relationship relationship with Djimon Hounsou.

Back in June on Father’s Day, Djimon complained to paparazzi that he hasn’t been able to see his 10-year-old son in a long time, and now, he’s taking legal action to try and change that. Kimora was served with papers while walking down the street in Beverly Hills on Friday, notifying her that her ex was filing for joint custody of their child, Kenzo.

Kimora maintains that Hounsou is just an absent father who rarely wanted to see his son, and that’s the only reason he hasn’t.

Hansu’s filings took place on August 1, and indicate that he’s petitioning to establish a parental relationship–a step taken to officially establish who Kenzo’s parents are in the eyes of the law. That might be necessary, since he and Kimora were never legally married.

Included in the docs is the fact that Djimon is seeking child support, a custody arrangement with Kimora, along with visitation rights. He is requesting joint joint legal and physical custody between both parents and asks for both parties to have equal time with the child.

If the Baby Phat founder is keeping her son from his father, it could be for fear that he might take Kenzo back to Africa with him and never return. Russell Simmons told TMZ that he offered Hounsou a visit with Kenzo just a few days ago, saying that he would take his son to him as long as he signs a document promising not to take the kid to Africa.

According to Russell, Djimon refused.

Porsha Williams Confirms Dennis McKinley Reconciliation

Porsha Williams is back with her baby daddy.

After rumors surfaced that Porsha and Dennis McKinley reconciled after a brief breakup, Porsha confirmed the news herself. The RHOA star told her Dish Nation family that they’re back together and confirmed that he showed up on a recent cast trip to Canada.

“We’re taking it one day at a time and we’re working on it,” said Porsha about baby PJ’s father.

As previously reported while Porsha was whining with the ladies in Toronto for Caribana, Dennis was by Porsha’s side at the Carribean Carnival’s King And Queen Showcase.

Allegedly, however, he wasn’t just there for a good time, he actually came to Canada to repropose to his wife to be.

Oh?

Hit the flip for more details.

RadarOnline is reporting that Porsha Williams got engaged again to Dennis and an “exclusive eyewitness” watched as he once again got down on one knee.

“Tanya Sam threw a party for the ladies on the glamorous rooftop pool bar of Lavelle in downtown Toronto, and all of the ladies, including NeNe [Leakes], Kenya [Moore] and Kandi [Burruss] filed in around 11,” Toronto social columnist Shinan Govani exclusively told Radar about the wild party.

Govani told Radar that Bravo cameras were rolling when Dennis popped the question.

“Tanya made a little speech thanking the partiers for being there…and surprise, surprise, announced that a certain someone had flown in special,” social columnist Govani told Radar about the RHOA ladies filming in Toronto and shared his exclusive photo from the night.

“It was Dennis, Porsha’s baby daddy,” Govani told Radar about the surprise guest. “He appeared out of the crowd, and Porsha seemed surprised.”

The eyewitness also allegedly has more details, claiming that Dennis admitted to “almost losing his family” before popping the question. Porsha of course allegedly accepted.

A contrite Dennis admitted the trouble the couple had been having, saying: “I know I almost lost my family two months ago,” Govani revealed to Radar Dennis said.

“Suddenly he was on his knees, and re-proposing,” Govani told Radar about McKinley popping the question again to the mother of his daughter.

“Porsha accepted, and yelled, ‘I’m engaged!’ again,” Govani spilled to Radar.

NOW this should make for an epic moment on RHOA season 12. Porsha is indeed back to wearing her engagement ring.

Will YOU be watching this fall to see Porsha’s alleged reproposal?

Andrew Caldwell Rants After Arrest

Andrew Caldwell is responding to comments about his recent arrest.

In case you didn’t know, the “delivert” internet star was arrested over the weekend in St. Louis. BlackAmericaWeb reports that Caldwell was taken into the St. Louis City Justice Center at 1 AM for a few warrants, including speeding and failing to appear in court.

After being released, Caldwell said on social media that he was followed by a man he didn’t know who followed him and attacked him outside a hospital. The man allegedly tried to rob him and punched him in the face. Caldwell then “defended himself” and busted out the man’s car windows.

Caldwell also took offense to people calling him a “jailbird” and “Andrew Smollett” and he ranted on IG.

Social media rumors are circulating that Caldwell was actually arrested for soliciting sex from a man. The Usher Board Instagram page has the video of Caldwell going live shirtless after the alleged scuffle.

Caldwell is now selling “Jesus Dropped The Charges” t-shirts.

Sighhhhh, what do YOU think about Andrew Caldwell’s latest drama???

Remember when the Internet was hype last year that Kylie Jenner finally turned 21?

Well, she’s 22 years old today, so it’s time to accept that she’s a little girl anymore.

But after years of seeming older than she actually is, Jenner is officially one year in of being old enough to drink, legally.

She’s already a mom and a billionaire, so there isn’t much for her to do at this point besides maintain.

Check out our gallery of all the times Kylie looked way older than she actually is.
