French Montana Posts Up With Kim Kardashian, La La Anthony & Naomi Campbell

by

French Montana is enjoying a lot of success right now, and it’s not just because of his musical career. Moreover, he recently premiered his auto-biographical documentary film For Khadija, which chronicles his experience as an immigrant in the United States and honors the mother and country that defined him. Between premiere events and get-togethers, the rapper is also keeping quite busy amid a lot of big names. Recently, he posted some pictures on Instagram with the likes of Kim Kardashian, La La Anthony, Naomi Campbell, Dr. Dre, and more. Furthermore, he has a lot more to look forward to in the coming weeks as he keeps celebrating the success of his life and work.

On the red carpet premiere of his documentary, the Moroccan-American MC spoke to Page Six of his vivid struggles. “When they showed us the Empire State building- and all the buildings downtown- I thought we were going to live there,” French Montana expressed. “But when we came to the states we had to go to [the] Mott Haven projects.” Those project are in The Bronx, where he first discovered a love for hip-hop and where he experienced the highs and lows of his upbringing.

French Montana’s Star-Studded Instagram Post

“It was a whole different thing,” French Montana continued. “It was a culture shock, it was jungle rules. I went through every level of struggle, every level of disrespect, every level of not understanding- and every step that was there I was there to take. Whether it was work or school, I just had to go through it. Yeah of course I was made fun of. People would just stare at me, but man, I feel like the best teacher in life is failure. And I feel like when you come from the mud, and you have to learn everything from experience, I feel like there is no better teacher than that… I am one of those that learned from experiences.”

Meanwhile, this is far from French’s first major celebrity crossover as of late. For example, the premiere of For Khadija at the Tribeca Film Festival saw Diddy, New York’s Mayor Eric Adams, Robert DeNiro, Drake, Busta Rhymes, and many other big names attend. He was already a very successful rapper, but now it seems that he’s become much more of a leader and voice for change and progress for families everywhere.

Ne-Yo’s Ex-Girlfriend Says He’s “Hurting Deep Down Inside”

by

Ne-Yo’s ex-girlfriend, Sade Bagnerise, has taken to social media to share a message about the singer. She shares two children with him, Brixton and Braiden, and the message comes amid a recent custody battle over the two boys. Ne-Yo had filed for joint-custody of them last month, and she later filed a countersuit agreeing and asking for child support. Earlier this year, Ne-Yo and his former wife Crystal Renay finalized their divorce. She filed for divorce in 2022 after discovering that Ne-Yo had gotten Bagnerise pregnant.

Now, Bagnerise has revealed in an Instagram Story that she personally apologized to Renay, going on to clarify recent reports surrounding their custody battle. “I’ve privately apologized profusely to Crystal for my role, and she is such a strong, beautiful, FORGIVING woman,” she wrote, “but I spoke to a woman who was so confused and broken. BETRAYED & misunderstood.” She continued, “She is hurting and healing and as hard as he tries to play tough guy he know he’s hurting deep down inside too. He needs help (love, support). It takes a village.”

Bagnerise Claims Ne-Yo “Needs Help”

“I know y’all like to tussle in them comments,” Bagnerise says, “but just read and listen with your heart today, and not your fingers. The headline about me demanding child support was a reach, and I think y’all are hurting my baby daddy feelings, lol. He says he don’t care. But he do. We all care just a little.” Last month, it was also reported that Ne-Yo requested a paternity test to ensure that the children are his. Bagnerise claims that this was never a concern of his.

“IN FAIRNESS TO HIM,” she adds, “in that regard, he has always been physically, financially, and emotionally responsible for both Braiden and Brixton from the moment he found out about the first pregnancy. He’s never denied or questioned either child, and we have DNA tests for both. […] The man is and always has been a proud pappy. He be scandalous AF lmao but he does right by all of his kids.” According to Bagnerise, despite ongoing drama in his personal life, Ne-Yo remains a strong figure in his kids’ lives.

Kourtney Kardashian And Travis Barker Have Picked Out A Baby Name

by

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are expecting their first child together. Kourtney announced her pregnancy at a Blink-182 concert a few weeks ago. She made a sign that read “Travis I’m Pregnant,” a reference to the music video for Blink’s classic hit “All The Small Things.” A few days ago they confirmed the gender of the baby on Instagram. Barker did a drum roll leading up to a bunch of blue confetti being launched into the sky, revealing the couple will have a baby boy.

Now, in a new Instagram post, Kourtney Kardashian is showing off her baby bump more. The series of pictures show off both Kourtney by herself and her and Travis together. Travis took to the comment section to post a sneaky tease for fans. “I already know his name,” his comment reads. He deliberately didn’t reveal any details to keep fans guessing about what the baby boy’s name will be.

Kourtney Kardashian And Travis Barker Tease Baby’s Name

It’s not the first time Kourtney has shown off her baby bump on Instagram. She posted some pics of herself swimming and soaking up some sun in a green bikini. The pics have shown her progress from a baby bump to a full-blown pregnancy glow. Outside of her pregnancy Kourtney has been dealing with another ongoing drama. She and Kim have been at each other’s throats at various times during season 3 of The Kardashians so far.

While Kourtney has probably been doing a lot of relaxing, Tyga has stayed busy. He played a surprise reunion show with Blink-182 at Coachella in April. Then they stepped up as headliners during weekend two after Frank Ocean pulled out. They’ve been on a reunion tour in the months since. Barker has still found time to get in the studio as well. Tyga has been seen repeatedly going in and out of Barker’s studio and the pair are reportedly working on new music. What do you think about Travis Barker teasing his and Kourtney Kardashian’s upcoming baby’s name? Let us know in the comment section below.

Travis Scott won’t face criminal charges as a result of the 2021 Astroworld tragedy after a Texas grand jury declined to indict him for the events that led to 10 deaths and hundreds of injuries, according to the Associated Press. AP cites Travis’ lawyer Kent Schaffer, who said that he wasn’t sure what criminal charges were being considered, but was adamant that Travis did nothing that could have prompted the crowd surge that led to the slew of injuries.

While calling the decision a “great relief,” Schaffer said, “He never encouraged people to do anything that resulted in other people being hurt… Travis is not responsible. Bringing criminal charges against him will not ease their” — meaning the victims and their families, many of whom believe the rapper should be held liable, as his name was on the festival flyer and the injuries occurred during his headlining set. Travis and promoter Live Nation are being sued in hundreds of cases that were ultimately combined to be tried as one case.

An official investigation by police and federal officials was held to determine if Live Nation and Travis had been criminally negligent in the safety measures in place at the festival. For his part, Travis maintains that he did not have any idea anything was wrong — which is why he continued performing for nearly 30 minutes. Victims’ families have cited him encouraging dangerous behavior at past shows as a sign that he should be held responsible anyway.

Tyga, YG, And Blxst Throw A Lavish Pool Party In Their Breezy ‘West Coast Weekend’ Video

by

It’s (finally) sunny in LA again, and the latest collab between Compton rappers Tyga and YG is perfect for the festivities to come. It’s a fitting time to drop the video for “West Coast Weekend” featuring Blxst as the sort of lavish pool parties depicted in the clip is coming around the corner for the rest of us. And although the sun wasn’t quite shining yet when they filmed this in the Hollywood Hills, that doesn’t stop their bikini-clad guests from having a ball, lounging on Lambos, taking a dip in the pool, and playing Twister on the lawn.

“West Coast Weekend,” which shares the same unforgettable Cameo sample as Tupac’s “All About U,” Beyoncé’s “Before I Let Go” cover, and Mariah Carey’s “Loverboy,” is just latest single from YG and Tyga’s upcoming collaborative album, which they announced during Tyga’s set at Rolling Loud in Los Angeles earlier this year. The two Hub City natives previously built chemistry on tracks like Tyga’s “Go Loko” and YG’s “Run,” and kept it going with another joint single, “Platinum.”

Both are experienced with collaborative album rollouts; in 2015, Tyga worked with Chris Brown on the album Fan Of A Fan, while YG recently dropped their joint album Kommunity Service — which, funnily enough, also featured a single with Blxst.
