Month: August 2022

Stacey Dash was once one of the most sought after women in the game. 

From her acting roles, to her fashion sense, everyone wanted a piece of the Clueless actress in the early 90’s. However, things have vastly changed since then, and fans believe the 55-year old actress is actually “clueless” after exhibiting some questionable behaviors over the years. On Wednesday, Stacey added fuel to the concerned fire after posting an emotional video of herself grieving over DMX’s death. 

Folks on social media were greatly confused by the video, since the Ruff Ryder’s legend passed in April 2021. But according to Stacey, she recently found out about X’s death on TikTok and is just now beginning her grieving process. “I was strolling through #tiktok and found a #DMX song that has saved me many times,” she wrote. “Suddenly it says #RIP i know I am late, i did not know he passed away, he #OD I am heartbroken – he was such a great guy.”

In the teary video, the College Hill: Celebrity Edition star added, “I didn’t know. From a cocaine overdose. I am today six years and one month clean. It breaks my heart that he lost to it. Please don’t lose.” The comment section was flooded with concerned and confused fans. Even celebrities like Tyrese commented on the odd video, writing, “Ain’t no way this is real.” Other fans chimed in saying things like, “She was too busy storming the Capitol,” and “I don’t know if I should laugh or feel bad.”

Stacey hasn’t been on the scene much since quitting College Hill. But according to reports, the actress is gearing up to star in a new reality show about her Interior Design career. Check out the late DMX talking about his encounter with Stacey Dash below.

Regardless of the crimes that R. Kelly has been convicted of, his devoted fanbase will never stop listening to his music. The “#MuteRKelly” movement is still alive and well, albeit not as prevalent these days as they were during the Surviving R. Kelly time in television history. The disgraced music icon has topped the charts, toured the world, earned dozens of awards, and was one of the most respected musicians of his generation—but all of the acclaim came with scandal. 

Kelly managed to dodge prison time decades ago when he was accused of having sex with underage girls, but in recent years, new allegations have surfaced, resulting in a conviction.

As his current trial moves forward, Kelly’s influence was discussed on a this week’s episode of Drink Champswith B2K—or, should we say, B2K minus Omarion.

Raz-B, Fizz, and J-Boog caught up with the series and talked all things related to their career and the fallout with their missing member. During the conversation, the trio proudly mentioned Kelly’s reach in their development, with J-Boog saying, “He did every single on our second album. Clean flush, bro. And the remixes.”

Fizz slid in with, “And took all the publishing.” The comment made everyone laugh, but in the end, the singers didn’t mind missing out on publishing money because of just how much work Kelly put into their songs. 

Check out the clip of the group detailing their work with R. Kelly below.

When NBA YoungBoy sees something, or someone, that he likes, he’s going for it.

Although the Baton Rouge rapper’s relationship status is never quite clear, he’s never shy about posting photos the mothers of his children when they’re around him. Back in February, he shared an adorable family photo of himself alongside girlfriend Jazlyn Michelle and their baby girl, just months before spending time with Yaya Mayweather and their baby boy KJ (Yaya’s first child, Youngboy’s seventh child). 

Paternity life aside, the “Lonely Child” rapper is still out here shooting his shout at his famous peers. After Kehlani posted a slew of sexy photo to her Instagram page, YoungBoy wasted no time hopping in the comment section. “Cariño,” he wrote, which means “Sweetheart” in Spanish. Kehlani, who is currently in a relationship with partner 070 Shake, has yet to responded to the flirty comment. The Grammy nominated songstress, who is currently on the road for her Blue Water Road Trip tour, opened up about her relationship with Shake back in June after celebrating their 25th birthday. 

“Six years of friendship and almost one year of love. Nothing I say in a caption could explain or compare. You’re one in a million, Dani. I love you, my very best friend,” Kehlani shared on Shake’s birthday. As for NBA YoungBoy, fans think he’s back on with Yaya after she posted a photo of herself in the same room that the rapper once flicked it up in. “Feels so good to be back home [white heart emoji],” Yaya wrote. 

Thoughts?

He’s one of the most successful and celebrated artists in music, so it comes as no surprise that Jay-Z stole the show on DJ Khaled’s God Did. The rapper’s appearance on the title track is still a conversation piece in and outside of Hip Hop, and recently, The Joe Budden Podcast debated where those bars stood in comparison to the entirety of the Roc Nation mogul’s catalog. We’ve been sharing reactions from both the public and Hov’s peers as the rapper’s rhymes are picked apart word for word, but despite the praise, Budden doesn’t believe this is Hov’s best.

His co-host stood ten toes down that Jay’s “God Did” inclusion topped anything he’s done before, but Budden plainly responded by saying, “It’s not.”

It was argued that “the more you listen to it,” the more the verse’s complexities are made clear. “It’s a phenomenal verse, he’s phenomenal,” said Budden, who was still unmoved by his co-hosts. “It’s not a… It’s not.”

MSNBC’s Ari Melber added his voice to those dissecting Jay-Z’s “God Did” bars in a recent segment, and it captured the attention of LeBron James who fired off a tweet mentioning, “HOV DID!” It apparently warranted a response from the rapper, who made a rare appearance on Twitter with a quoted retweet.

“My only goal is to make the real ‘ones’ feel seen,” wrote Jay. “Forgive me that’s my passion talking ….. haa.” Do you think this is Jay-Z’s best verse? If not, which bars are better?
