Month: February 2022

There may be a Rap wedding on the horizon after Shyne Jewelers caused rumors of an engagement to circulate online. NBA YoungBoy has been under the lock and key of house arrest in Utah with his loved ones, but it has been suggested that he’s making big plans for his future. The rapper is currently fighting a federal case that has him facing a lengthy prison sentence if convicted, but he has maintained thanks to the support of his loved ones, including girlfriend Jazlyn Michelle. The couple also welcomed a child and YoungBoy has taken to social media to show off his mini-me.

Today (February 24), Joe the Jeweler uploaded a video of a custom ring with a caption that left viewers believing that YoungBoy may be ready to pop the question.

“NBA Youngboy 30 ct Engagement Ring – all stones GIA certified. Comment who you think it’s for [eyeball emoji][diamond emoji,” the jeweler wrote. Immediately, people began speculating that the Rap star made the purchase for Jazlyn, but YoungBoy hasn’t made any announcement just yet. 

Back in May 2019, YoungBoy penned a note that was shared on Instagram, and inside, he directly spoke to Jazlyn.

“I really just want to be there when my daughter born i want to be in the same house as her while she grow up i never had that experience,” said YoungBoy. “Jaz im sorry (ma’ma) i promise im sorry for every time i said something to another woman for every time they ever gotten the chance to come around ill give you anything for you not to leave anything to have you when its all said and done.”

This would all be a strange surprise if he planned to propose and had yet to do so. Check out the ring below.

There’s a saying that goes, “money doesn’t buy happiness,” but there are millions of people hoping to find out for themselves. We live in a generation where people are using every resource possible to attain fame and riches, but many who have acquired both have openly discussed why it isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. 

In her cover story for Variety, Lizzo spoke on a myriad of topics, including the struggles she has endured with her mental health. The award-winning singer admitted that despite the shift in her notoriety and bank account, those internal issues she was facing didn’t change. 

“Fame happens to you, and it’s more of an observation of you. People become famous, and it’s like—my DNA didn’t change. Nothing changed about me,” she told the outlet. “My anxiety didn’t go away. My depression didn’t go away. The things that I love didn’t go away. I’m still myself. But the way y’all look at me and perceive me has changed. It’s a very weird, kind of formless thing.” 

“I don’t want to seem ungrateful. It was sad, and I had to talk to my therapist about the loss of who I was,” she continued. “Most famous people have been famous just as long as they’ve been a person, so they have acclimated more to it. I was going into dive bars and getting shitfaced in 2018. And nobody knew who I was, and nobody was bothering me.”

Lizzo also admitted to feeling like a “burden” back in 2019 when she began to realize she couldn’t do simple things with her loved ones like going to out a restaurant.

“I had to call security, and they had to call a car, and we had to sit and wait,” she said. “And I was like, ‘Damn. I’m just a burden to my friends, and things are different now.’ It bummed me out, because you do lose a sense of your privacy and yourself, the old self. I’m good with it now. I’m fine. I’m young. I’m talented. I deserve the attention.”

Stars love to boast about they have chemistry on the set of their blockbuster films, but there are those times when people just don’t get along. Such was the case for Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron while the pair were filming Mad Max: Fury Road, and according to the actress, things were downright volatile. Reports of the contention ran rampant and the tension was recently documented in Kyle Buchanan’s book, Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road.

“I don’t want to make excuses for bad behavior, but it was a tough shoot,” said Theron. “Now, I have a very clear perspective on what went down. I don’t think I had that clarity when we were making the movie. I was in survival mode; I was really scared sh*tless.”

In a chat with several members of the cast and crew for Vanity Fair, camera operator Mark Goellnicht recalled a time during filming when Hardy was three hours late after being asked specifically to be on time. Theron had been punctual and sat in the War Rig in full costume and makeup for the entire time, not even moving to go to the restroom. When she saw Hardy appear, the actress unleashed her anger and it became so tense that she reportedly asked for someone to step in.

Eleven o’clock. She’s now in the War Rig, sitting there with her makeup on and a full costume for three hours. Tom turns up, and he walks casually across the desert. She jumps out of the War Rig, and she starts swearing her head off at him, saying, “Fine the fucking cunt a hundred thousand dollars for every minute that he’s held up this crew,” and “How disrespectful you are!” She was right. Full rant. She screams it out. It’s so loud, it’s so windy—he might’ve heard some of it, but he charged up to her up and went, “What did you say to me?”

He was quite aggressive. She really felt threatened, and that was the turning point, because then she said, “I want someone as protection.” She then had a producer that was assigned to be with her all the time.

Theron also stated that she felt as if she was walking on ice for weeks and director George Miller seemed to forgive Hardy without discipline. Mad Max: Fury Road would go on to win several awards including six Oscars. Hardy has yet to publicly respond to the tales from the cast and crew members.

After being arrested in Oklahoma, Chrisean rock remains behind bars. The young aspiring rapper was first introduced as one of Blueface’s artists, and over the past year and a half, her antics have often made headlines. She made her undying devotion to Blueface clear with multiple tattoos of the rapper’s name, but it was also apparent that the lines of their business and personal relationships were blurred after suggestive texts were uploaded to the internet.

After she reportedly was at the helm of multiple break-ins to Blueface’s residence and allegedly stole his vehicle, the rapper and his manager, Wack 100, cut ties with Chrisean. The status of her case is unclear, but she shared a video call from jail where she spoke about coming back stronger. 

“Don’t be sad!” she said in the clip. “I was tweakin’, for real… I used this time to really heal, I’m just healing from a lot of sh*t A lotta stuff I be telling y’all, but I don’t be tellin’ y’all everything, so, you know how that go. But yeah, I’ma be out, and I’ma be better. I can’t wait to drop my song for y’all. I can’t wait to just be better Rock [laughs].”

She went on to admit that she felt “shy” during the phone call “because I ripped all my lashes out.” Chrisean asked the public to keep her in their prayers before thanking people for their support.
