Melanie Marden has become a target. Nobody saw it coming. T.I. decided to take a shot at Donald Trump’s wife in a promo for his Dime Trap project, and the backlash was potent. While there are millions of American’s who are displeased with the current president, dragging a man’s wife into a conflict unprovoked has always been viewed to be in bad taste. T.I. employed a Melania Trump look alike, who donned the infamous “I Really Don’t Care” jacket before taking it off to reveal her naked body. T.I. removed the video from his Instagram, although it’s unclear whether the King of the South decided to take a step back or if he was reported by users. He usually maintains a very respectful etiquette, especially towards the ladies, so his move raised eyebrows of even those who despise Donald Trump. Melanie Marden is the actress who played Melania in the video, and speaking with TMZ, she admits that death threats have been coming her way. “Yeah, I have had some death threats,” she states in a video. “It’s actually unbelievable that people take this so seriously,” she continued. “I’m an independent woman, trying to make a living and feed myself, you know, I look after myself. And it’s surprising that people have this much time to focus on somebody who took an acting job versus ‘where’s the cure for cancer.’” Marden also stopped by Inside Edition, where she reiterated that death threats have been sent to her regarding the T.I. video. |

It looks like Quavo is boo’ed up. The Migos member is reportedly dating fellow rapper Saweetie. Fresh off the release of his debut solo album, Quavo stopped by REAL 92.3 L.A. this week to discuss the seminal project, his love life, and the controversy involving the late rapper Lil Peep. A few weeks ago, we told you how Saweetie had stopped by talk show The Real and pretty much confirmed that she and Quavo were at least entertaining the idea of becoming an item, by stating that she “really enjoys his company,” and it appears the feeling is mutual based on Quavo’s latest statement. During the interview, when asked about his rumored relationship with Saweetie; Quavo didn’t exactly lay claims to to the “Icy Grl” rapper per say, his response was, unsurprisingly vague, stating “She nice. I like her a lot […] She ain’t my homie, so…” So while that isn’t exactly the confirmation that most were looking for, I think any adult with brain can pretty much see where this is going. Quavo also spoke on Migos and Drake’s rumored collaborative project, simply stating that it “might” arrive after they wrap up the Aubrey & The Three Amigos Tour. He said both parties were open to the idea, but they have yet to get it started. Check out video of the interview below and let us know what you think. Are you feeling Quavo and Saweetie as a couple? |

Remember Angela Stanton? Well if you aren’t familiar with Stanton’s work, we’re certain you’ve heard her name. Just for a bit of background, Angela Stanton, initially rocked the reality realm long before she even hit the television with her book “Lies of a Real Housewife: Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil,” about her alleged racketeering with former ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Phaedra Parks. (Yes, “southern belle” Phaedra Parks.) In her book, which was published in 2013, Stanton reveals that Parks ran a white-collar “criminal enterprise” that included fake bank accounts and bad checks. However, Parks covered her tracks so well that only her husband, Apollo Nida, and Stanton took the blame when it all fell apart…However, Stanton has now put her past behind her and is focused using her experience to help others in the community, becoming a leading advocate for prison reform. That’s right, Kim Kardashian isn’t the only woman out here making major moves in regards to prison reform. USA Today reports that with her non-profit organization, the American King Foundation, Stanton has submitted nearly 100 names to the White House of people who should be considered to be freed from prison. Along with her efforts as it relates to prison reform, Stanton also has been traveling to prisons all over the country to mentor, counsel, and partner with juvenile offenders, allowing them to publish their own stories through her publishing company Stanton Publishing House, which has also produced Stanton’s own best selling stories. As someone who has followed Angela Stanton’s story from the beginning, I can honestly say it’s amazing her growth and miraculous turn around. The things she is doing for the community is truly admirable and does not go unnoticed. To learn more about Stanton’s organization or get involved in prison reform efforts visit here.

Could this mean a potential reunion? Drake opened up about his feeling about Rihanna on HBO’s The Shop, saying that he had desired to start a family with her back in the day. Fans have wondered how Rihanna received his comments, considering how she had previously spoken about their affair. Rihanna is said to be “flattered”, according to an insider. They told the folks over at HollywoodLife that “for a brief time, she wanted that with him too. “In a way she feels sad about what could have been between them but she also feels kinda mad, too. Rih feels like Drake had a chance to have it all with her and he blew it, and now she is left to think about what could have been.” Unsurprisingly, the source affirms that RiRi is over it. “Rihanna has moved on and she doesn’t really feel that way anymore about him, but the latest comments did get Rihanna thinking maybe one day, if the timing was right, maybe they could get married and make gorgeous babies together after all.” These statements, if at all true, are probably filtered through stanship for the past romantic link. Rihanna is infamous in her independence and it is doubtful she takes time out of her busy schedule to think about Adonis’ father. |

Kanye chooses to spread love. Kanye West is practicing what he preaches. West has been in the hot seat for implying that someone like Donald Trump deserves to be hit with love, not hate. His love for Trump has made him an enemy of those that claim to guard the gates of Black culture. While West’s MAGA hat tactics, and his questionable comments about slavery, are far from coherent, at least he’s sticking to his newfound love-fueled persona. Snoop Dogg has been coming for Kanye West ever since the latter first donned the MAGA hat. Snoop has kept audiences laughing with his barbs at West, as he compared the G.O.O.D. Music creator to Daniel Kaluuya in Get Out. His insults continued last week, when he posted a video to Instagram claiming that he finally understands why West is mad at Drake. “I just found out who Kiki was,” gloated Snoop in the video. “Kiki is your bitch! That’s why you’re so mad… Drake put dick in your bitch,” he continued.
This is the moment where West’s “love prevails” image was truly tested. Taking shots at a man’s wife can lead to disastrous results, and West has been faced with criticism of his relationship for years. Still, Yeezy chose to react with love, sharing an image of himself rocking a t-shirt that features a young Snoop. “All love,” he wrote as the caption for the picture.

Bag secured. Usher was the biggest R&B star in the early 00’s. Many believe that he was the last true R&B sensation to influence the game before singers started rapping and autotune arrived. His album Confessions produced several bangers, including “Yeah!,” “Burn,” “Caught Up,” “Handle It,” and “Bad Girl.” The latter single was tangled up in a lengthy legal battle, but the lawsuit has finally been settled. Philadelphia songwriter Daniel Marino is finally getting paid the money he deserves. As reported byBillboard, Marino proved that he wrote the guitar hook, tempo, and chord progression for a song called “Club Girl.” The track was ultimately turned into Usher’s “Bad Girl,” off Confessions. The album is one of the best selling R&B projects of all time, and Marino wasn’t about to lose his creation. Marino claimed that he was not paid profits for constructing the song along with his former co-songwriter William Guice. Guice was ordered to pay Marino $6.75 million in compensatory damages, and $20.25 million in punitive damages. Destro Music Productions, owned by co-defendant Dante Barton, also agreed to pay Marino $17.35 million. In total, that leaves Marino with $44.35 million. Although the song was performed by Usher, he was not named in the lawsuit. |

The comedian opened up during one of his comedic performances. The silence is finally broken on Pete Davidson’s side. The actor spoke about his split with Ariana Grande during his first stage appearance on Saturday. His revelations were made in jest while he co-hosted Judd & Pete for America, a comedy show benefiting Swing Left. He joked with the crowd about his situation. “Well, as you could tell, I don’t want to be here. There’s a lot going on. Does anybody have any open rooms? Looking for a roommate?” He also commented on the collection of tattoos he got in honor of his failed relationship with the pop star. “Um, I’ve been covering a bunch of tattoos, that’s fun. I’m f–king 0 for 2 in the tattoo [department]. Yeah, I’m afraid to get my mom tattooed on me, that’s how bad it is.” “So, obviously you know I, we [Ariana and I] broke up or whatever but when me and her first got engaged we got tattoos. And it was like in a magazine like, ‘Was Pete Davidson stupid?’ And 93% of it said yes. So my boy, he was like, ‘Don’t listen to that sh*t man. They’re literally f–king haters.’ And I’m like, yeah, f*ck that. I’m not stupid. And the other day we were in my kitchen and he was like, ‘Yo bro. Turns out you were stupid.'” Davidson’s co-host, Judd Apatow, thanked him for coming through despite the hard times. The SNL star replied with another joke “Well, you put me on the flyer, I had to. F*Ck my feelings.” “I care more about America than your feelings, I do,” Apatow joked. “I care more about America than Pete’s feelings.” Davidson then equates himself to the nation. “I feel like I am America. I’m a good guy that just keeps getting kicked in the dick. You’re like, ‘Ah, that f*cking poor kid. Hope he doesn’t kill himself.’ That’s America.” |
