It’s turning into a he-said-she-said over on Instagram and it’s not looking good for Pooh Shiesty. The rapper has been on a meteoric climb with the success of his “Back in Blood” hit, but on Monday (May 10), he found himself engaged in an online squabble regarding his communication with Jania Meshell, ex-girlfriend to NBA YoungBoy who also shares a daughter with the incarcerated rapper. Recently, Jania has been snapped with her new beau, boxer Devin Haney, but it looks like things have changed.

Jania suggested on her Instagram Story that her relationship with Devin Haney had come to an end because she declared that she was “Single 4Life.” She added, “I promise this time.” After TheShadeRoom reposted a screenshot of Jania’s Story, Pooh Shiesty hopped in the comments and wrote, “She was in my dm.”

This caused Jania to resurrect that said DM and she asserted that he misrepresented their exchange. Jania posted a screenshot of her DM with Shiesty, but it looks as if it was brief and began when she issued a reply to his Instagram Story. “Ohh this the DM you referring to ?” she wrote over the image. “8 months ago ?”

Jania covered up whatever was said in the DMs, but people are already assuming the conversation. On her Instagram page, she continued the conversation and shared a video where she was on Livestream speaking about men who approach her because the father of her child is YoungBoy. She added that men who she never hooked up with or talked to romantically are trying to make her look bad. Meanwhile, Devin Haney decided to get himself involved by posting on his Story, as well.

“Should’ve known she was a bird when she asked me to b her boyfriend first [crying laughing emoji][face palm emoji][clown emoji].” Check it all out below.

A personal take on women sharing thirst traps on social media has turned Bobby Valentino into a meme. It’s a common daily occurrence to see women share photos of themselves in lingerie, bikinis, or whatever shows off their *ahem* assets, and while the “likes” and compliments pour in by the tens of thousands for some ladies, not everyone approves of the look.

Bobby Valentino took to his Instagram Story to drop a thought or two about the topic, joking that he can’t imagine what some women look like covered up.

“You b*tches be naked so much on this app I be wondering how y’all look in clothes [crying laughing emojis],” the singer wrote. “Like sis might be cute in a turtle neck [crying laughing emojis].” Soon, Bobby V was hit with a slew of responses in objection to his comments and he returned with a video where he questioned why the public cared about his opinion so much.

“If I’m so washed up and lame, why do y’all care so much about what I do?” Bobby asked. “I don’t understand that. Somebody that’s lame and washed up. I wouldn’t even be checkin’ for him like that. I’m still tryin’ to understand that, too.” Still, the internet was unrelenting. Check out Bobby V, along with a few reactions, below.

Basketball Wives star Draya Michele mourned the death of her father on social media, Sunday, with a heartfelt tribute. She shared several photos of her hanging out with her late father.

“REST IN HEAVEN DAD.. yesterday was one of my hardest days,” Michele wrote in the caption. “While everyone was celebrating the wonderful mother’s of the world, I was losing my father. I love you dad, you suffered for years and needed not to any longer. I’m glad you’re at peace and with GOD. I’m glad I went home and got to see you while you were still in good spirits. I will celebrate your life forever.”

Michele recently moved to Pennsylvania to take care of her father while he was ill.

The renowned model also posted a video on her Instagram story thanking her friends and fans who have reached out in support. She also asked fans to allow her to grieve how she would like to grieve.

Michele owns a number of fashion lines and has modeled for top brands including Savage X Fenty. In 2020, Michele received a “special toast” from Diddy for being the “hustler of the year,” while on an island vacation 

He regularly smokes cigarettes onstage and comedians have joked about having psychedelic, mushroom and marijuana parties at his estate with famous friends like Tiffany Haddish and Chris Rock, so it’s not too far off for Dave Chappelle to cop weed from another celebrity. Prior to some of our favorite stars becoming household names, they had odd jobs to make ends meet. Kanye West worked at the Gap, Nicki Minaj was a waitress at Red Lobster, Jim Carrey was a janitor, Kid Cudi worked at a grocery store, Johnny Depp did telemarketing, Rick Ross was a corrections officer, Channing Tatum was an exotic dancer, and Tyler, The Creator spent years as a Starbucks barista.

Idris Elba, according to Dave Chappelle, was a bouncer who was also making a few extra bucks hustling on the side.

Chappelle recently sat down with The Joe Rogan Experience and spoke about people in the service industry deserving much more respect and kindness than many people give. “Idris Elba, the famous actor, used to be a security guard at Caroline’s,” said Chappelle of the New York City comedy club. “I used to buy weed from him.”

Elsewhere, Chappelle talked about hanging out with Elon Musk years ago and the Tesla mogul looking “kinda hurt” after the comedian told Musk that he didn’t recall meeting him prior. You can check out The Joe Rogan Experience with Dave Chappelle below to catch more highlights.

Two Black students were removed from their classroom at a school in Oklahoma, Friday, for wearing “Black Lives Matter” shirts.

Eight-year-old Ben Stapleton and his five-year-old brother were held in the principal’s office and missed recess, lunch, and weekly tutoring for sporting the BLM shirts. Stapleton was called out by his P.E. teacher during gym class for the outfit.

“They pulled me out of P.E. and told me to put my shirt inside out and then I started playing,” Ben told Fox’s local affiliate.

Their mother, Jordan Herbert, lambasted the school district for the action.

“Y’all know he knows nothing about politics or his rights, so y’all make him turn it inside out because you don’t like it,” Herbert said.

Superintendent Kim Holland defended the school’s decision saying that school is not the place for politics.

“I understand what she is saying, but school is not the place to have all that, y’know political back and forth and upheaval,” Holland said. “We’re trying to be more neutral in the school and be advocates for all of our children in what they need.”

“Allow my kid to express how his life matters, that’s it, that’s all,” Herbert stated.

In recent months, the focus of Yaya Mayweather’s online presence has focused primarily on her newborn, Kentrell Gaulden Jr. The 20-year-old daughter of Floyd Mayweather has been in an on-again-off-again relationship with NBA YoungBoy, and the pair welcomed their son back in January. However, it was just over a year ago when reports surfaced that Yaya had been arrested after attacking a woman, later identified as Lapattra Jacobs, while at YoungBoy’s home. The latter was also in a relationship with the rapper and it seems that the two ladies were at odds.

Yaya stood accused of stabbing Lapattra and was officially charged with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. It’s reported that if convicted, Yaya could face prison time that would extend to the remainder of her life. Lapattra Jacobs was rushed to the hospital following the alleged spat and underwent emergency surgery, and now she’s returned to social media to share that had it not been for that altercation, she would still be in a relationship with YoungBoy.

“He’s still young. He ain’t ready to settle down. In my mind—and I know ’cause I’m older than him, so I know a young person that’s ready to settle down,” she said. It’s reported that Lapattra, too, is the mother of one of YoungBoy’s children. “We never was in a relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend. Like, we still would have been okay if this sh*t hadn’t of happened to me. I don’t like attention.”

The status of Yaya’s case is pending and there haven’t been many updates since the initial incident, but back in April 2020, her lawyer made it clear that she would enter a not guilty plea. The new mom continues to await the conclusion of her case. Check out Lapattra Jacobs talking about the demise of her relationship with YoungBoy below as well as a clip of her showing off her lack of mobility soon after she was injured.

Undoubtedly, 2019 was the year of “Old Town Road.” Lil Nas X, like many other Rap hopefuls, had spent years online peddling his music to whoever would listen, but after the “Old Town Road” controversy kicked up in the country music sphere and Billy Ray Cyrus hopped on the remix, the song became a pop culture phenomenon. Soon, the award nominations rolled in, including Lil Nas X being up for Record of the Year at the Grammys in 2020. Other nominees in the category included Bon Iver, Ariana Grande, H.E.R., Khalid, Lizzo, Post Malone, Swae Lee, and Billie Eilish.

Sadly, for Lil Nas X, he didn’t take home the coveted award and lost out to Eilish’s “Bad Guy,” but “Old Town Road” did earn him two other wins. Still, the hitmaker was disappointed in the Record of the Year loss and told British GQ that he found himself jealous of Billie Eilish’s success.

“Damn, but how? I have the biggest song. That isn’t fair,” Lil Nas X recalled feeling about his loss. Then, the following month, America—along with the rest of the world—was hit with a quarantine that kept us “bored in the house and in the house bored.” The singer-rapper admitted to being in his house alone for months as he dug deep and self-reflected on those emotions still lingering from the Grammys.

“I put all that energy I was feeling onto her. It became jealousy that wasn’t warranted,” said Nas X. “You have the longest-running number-one song, why the f*ck are you jealous about this award? We are already so blessed. Even if you don’t have these things, you’re here. You’re still alive. You exist. You shouldn’t have any reason to be jealous.”
