Amber Rose is firmly on Donald Trump’s team for this upcoming election between the convicted former president and Vice President Kamala Harris. At the Republican National Convention earlier this year, she gave a speech about the reasons why she stands behind No. 45 and why she opposed the Democratic Party’s candidate. But when the model heard Beyonce speak at a Texas rally in Houston, she couldn’t help but get some deja vu. “She wanna be me so bad. Literally took my whole speech,” she claimed in an Instagram comments section about the superstar’s remarks. Seemingly, it’s over their comments on motherhood.
“We are at the precipice of an incredible shift, the brink of history,” Beyoncé expressed. “I’m not here as a celebrity, I’m not here as a politician. I’m here as a mother. A mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in.” Here’s an excerpt of Amber Rose’s RNC speech: “Most importantly, I’m a mother. My whole world revolves around providing for my children, keeping them safe, and giving them an opportunity for a better life. That’s something that unites all American parents. Whether we’re Republicans, Democrats, conservatives, or liberals, we all want a better country for our children.”
Elsewhere, both celebrities are busy dealing with rumors, speculation, and drama surrounding their names. In the case of Amber Rose, she recently addressed the viral fight that she engaged in with Joseline Hernandez on the College Hill: Celebrity Edition reality television series from BET. Rose claimed that Hernandez talked smack about her, but also stated that she never wanted to fight and tried to stay quiet about the whole thing. Finally, she wished Hernandez and her family the best.
On the other hand, Beyoncé and Jay-Z allegedly reached out to Jason Lee for his supposed comments on their friendship with Diddy amid the Bad Boy mogul’s scandal. He doesn’t understand why they supposedly got into contact when his supposed remarks on the matter didn’t even implicate them significantly in his eyes. At press time, the couple hasn’t publicly addressed all the speculative allegations surrounding them and Sean Combs. Instead, they’d rather endorse Kamala Harris for the United States presidency.
For weeks, rumors of a Beyoncé performance in connection with Vice President Kamala Harris flooded online chats. Yesterday (October 25), the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer final took to the stage of Harris’ presidential campaign rally in Houston. But instead of a hip shaking set, she released Sasha Fierce for another reason.
Rowland kick things off with a rousing speech (viewable here). “We are grabbing back the pen,” she said. “Houston, you already had a hand in creating ‘Destiny.’ So do what you do and do this thing again.”
Beyoncé followed that momentum with an equally inspirational speech (viewable here). “I’m not here as a celebrity, I’m not here as a politician. I’m here as a mother,” she said. “A mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in, a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we’re not divided. Imagine our daughters growing up seeing what’s possible with no ceilings, no limitations. We must vote, and we need you.”
Texas is sure to be a battleground state in this tight presidential election between former president Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. With the 2024 election around the corner the public will learn if the sea of celebrity endorsements on each side were effective (or not).
Kamala Harris has always aligned herself with Beyonce. She used the pop star song “Freedom” when she conducted her first conference as a presidential nominee. She also garnered the support of Queen Bey’s mother, Tina Knowles. The Beyonce co-sign, however, has remained elusive. Until now. October 25 marked a monumental day for the Harris campaign, as Beyonce threw her full support behind the current Vice President. She reunited with fellow Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland and together they made a thrilling appearance at Harris’ campaign rally in Texas.
The campaign rally crowd went absolutely ballistic when Beyonce and Rowland entered through the side stage. The Destiny’s Child song “Independent Women” blasted over the speakers, and the two pop stars proudly engaged with the crowd. Beyonce and Rowland made a few brief statements, but the real cosign came in the form of a proper Queen Bey speech. Beyonce took the podium in her home state and gave a rousing speech in support of Kamala Harris. She described Harris as a woman who has been pushing for what the country really needs.
Beyonce’s celebrity profile is unrivaled, but the singer made a point of prioritizing his role as a mother during her speech. “I’m not here as a celebrity, I’m not here as a politician,” she noted. “I’m here as a mother. A mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in, a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we’re not divided.” After establishing connection with the audience, she made sure to highlight their shared values. “Imagine our daughters growing up seeing what’s possible with no ceilings, no limitations,” Beyonce asserted. “We must vote, and we need you.”
Beyonce proceeded to turn her speech into an introduction for Harris. She introduced Harris as the “next President of the United States.” She did not, however, perform for the audience. Beyonce has made high profile appearances at rallies in the past, with the most notable being for Hillary Clinton in 2016. This is the second time that a high profile celebrity has introduced a politician at a recent Harris campaign rally. Eminem was on hand to endorse Harris during her Detroit rally, before turning around and introducing Barack Obama.
It has been about a year since Beyoncélaunched her Cé Noir fragrance, which — like most things Beyoncé puts on the market — has been a roaring success. Today, she announced its follow-up, a new fragrance called Cé Lumière. For those who don’t speak French (or took the Beauty And The Beast character’s candlestick transformation less metaphorically), that means “light.”
As such, the fragrance leans in a different direction than its predecessor. According to fragrantica.com, Cé Noir is considered a darker, more mysterious scent, while Cé Lumière is a lighter, brighter fragrance; essentially, “Cé Noir” represents darkness and “Cé Lumière” represents light. To that end, it switches up the original scent, which had “top notes of clementine and golden honey, heart notes of rose absolute and jasmine sambac, and base notes of Namibian myrrh and golden amber,” opting for Madagascar black pepper and Italian mandarin, a heart consisting of jasmine Sambac absolute and rhubarb, and a base of Indonesian patchouli and skin musk.
Cé Lumière is available for pre-order on Beyoncé’s official website in the US and Canada, priced at $160 for a 50 ml Eau de Parfum, with shipping scheduled for November 2024.

Vice President Kamala Harris is coming off a big rally day in Atlanta, which featured Tyler Perry and Bruce Springsteen. Friday she will stand next to Beyoncé, Tina Knowles, and Willie Nelson.
According to Variety, the trio will take the stage with Harris in Houston. The Washington Post co-signed the appearance, citing “people familiar with the planning who spoke anonymously to preview a performance that hasn’t been publicly announced.”
Earlier this week, Eminem attended a rally in Detroit with former President Barack Obama and vice presidential candidate Tim Walz.
Queen Bey’s “Freedom” became the campaign theme song when Vice President Harris took over the Democratic ticket in the summer. Shortly after, Kamala Harris released her first official presidential campaign video set to the song.
“In this election, we each face a question,” Harris says in the clip. “What type of country do we want to live in?”
Later, she says, “We choose freedom,” allowing Beyoncé’s voice to ring off.
Vice President Kamala Harris made a memorable entrance during her first official visit to her campaign headquarters before the commercial aired. She walked out to the powerful anthem. A source close to Harris revealed to CNN that her team received approval from Beyoncé’s representatives to use the song throughout her presidential campaign.
Beyoncé, known for her strict clearance guidelines around her music, swiftly granted permission to Harris’ campaign on Monday, just hours before the Vice President made her entrance. While Beyoncé has not officially endorsed Harris following President Joe Biden’s announcement that he would not seek a second term, her quick approval for the use of “Freedom” suggests the superstar’s support for Harris.
This significant gesture underscores the cultural and political weight behind Harris’ campaign, highlighting a potential alignment with Beyoncé’s advocacy for social justice and empowerment.

Additionally was a ringing message of support from Tina Knowles on Instagram.

That is the definition of a great leader, . Thank you, President Biden for your service and your leadership . Go Vice President Kamala Harris for President. Let’s Go #kamala2024
We’re now less than two weeks away from Election Day in the United States, on November 5, when we’ll be closer to knowing whether it’s Donald Trump or Kamala Harris who will be our next president. The candidates are in the home stretch, and it looks like Harris is pulling out all the stops. The ultimate stop, actually: Beyoncé.
NBC News reports that “according to three sources familiar with the plans,” Beyoncé will appear with Harris at an event in Houston tomorrow (October 25) night. Furthermore, according to “one of the sources, who has direct knowledge of the preparations,” Beyoncé is “expected to perform.”
Yesterday, Harris campaign spokesman Ian Sams confirmed Willie Nelson and Beyoncé’s mom Tina Knowles are also expected to be present at the rally.
This isn’t Beyoncé first brush with the Democratic party: In 2008, she sang at Barack Obama’s first inauguration, and in 2016, she performed at a Hillary Clinton presidential campaign rally in Ohio.
This also isn’t Harris first big-time rally appearance: Just a few days ago, Eminem showed up to endorse Harris at a rally in Detroit. Obama was also on hand, and in perhaps an even bigger surprise than Eminem showing up, the former president went ahead and gave a little rendition of “Lose Yourself.”
It seems as if each day, the Hip Hop community is more shaken by allegations, many coming from Jaguar Wright. While the accomplished singer hasn’t had much traction in her career in what seems like decades, she’s still managed to keep the industry captivated. Her tales of times working behind the scenes with some of the biggest names in music have become viral moments that blogs have picked up on. However, things were magnified when Piers Morgan invited her as a guest on his show, and she began spouting her accusations of alleged “evil” behavior from the likes of power moguls, including Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jay-Z.
For years, Wright has appeared on podcasts revealing what she says are the abusive ills of Hollywood’s elite. “For four years, I’ve been screaming not just Diddy, but Diddy and Jay-Z are monsters… And the victim-making machine kept going on,” Wright told Morgan during their chat. Her proclamations have gone unchecked by Combs’ camp—seemingly as they battle bigger issues related to his sex trafficking case. Yet, not everyone has let Wright’s declarations slide as she matter-of-factly makes allegations that accuse fan favorites of being abusers, drug addicts, traffickers, and guilty of sex crimes.
Due to her Hollywood tales’ sensationalized, frequently unbelievable elements, audiences are often split about the validity. Some take the singer at her word and quickly share clips of Wright’s discussions. Others aren’t buying it, waiting for more proof of Wright’s claims. Yet, several celebrities who have found their names wrapped up in Wright’s explosive conversations have clapped back, refusing to stand by as she makes allegations against them. Here are a handful of times when Wright’s peers have accused her of outright lying or bending the truth.
Following Wright’s eyebrow-raising interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, it appeared as though Ray J was upset with her. Initially, he called her out for choosing Morgan’s platform and not opting for an outlet that leaned toward the culture. He stated, “You wanna keep taking these other n*ggas money and not showing love to the community? That sh*t weak as f*ck.” Ray also suggested he would have been a better fit. “You’re hitting all these other motherf*ckers back that’s from all these other countries. Like, you safe over there. You safe with me. Stop acting scary, Jaguar.”
That tune changed not long after because soon, he was calling her an outright liar. In an interview last year with RealLyfe Productions, Wright accused Ray J of being the last person to see Whitney Houston. She alleged the reality star mogul, along with mega-music executive Clive Davis, were involved in Houston’s death. Ray caught wind of the accusations and put his foot down.
“First off, I want to say Whitney Houston was a very special person in my life,” he told The Reality Check. “She has a very special place in my heart. […] I’m not going to talk sh*t about you, Jaguar. But when you are creating these stories and pushing narratives with no real basis, it’s clear that you’re doing some kind of attention-chasing, or you’re doing this sh*t for clout. Or just for negative destruction, right? Is that about seeking the truth? You want to stir up the pot for your own gain?
He also went to bat for Jay-Z and Beyoncé, who are Wright’s regular targets. “Our culture needs more truth and integrity, not chaos and confusion,” said Ray. “People were listening. You got our attention. Is what you’re saying true? Because this sh*t is outrageous. But I came to the conclusion that once I seen a story about me, and what you had to say about me and situations in my past, that is where I started to understand that you are totally fabricating stories and you are a complete liar. So, that means that I have no respect for you and nothing you’re saying. So, now, I’ma go further. How dare you disrespect Jay-Z and Beyoncé? Jay-Z is an OG. Don’t ever disrespect Beyoncé.”
Probably two of the most significant entertainment figures who responded to Wright’s allegations were the Knowles-Carters. Once again, her appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensoreddid not go unnoticed by the uber-famous couple and their teams. “Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, Robert Kelly, Sean Combs have one person in common, professionally and privately: Sean Carter [Jay-Z],” she alleged. “This has been a fist of tyranny punching through our culture for decades. It must stop.”
Meanwhile, Wright’s stories may travel fast through the internet, but Jay and Bey’s attorneys work faster. In the blink of an eye, Morgan was back on his program, issuing a public apology to the power couple. “Their lawyers contacted us to say that those claims were totally false, and have no basis in fact,” he said. Then, Morgan revealed that Wright’s comments would be clipped from the interview. “We apologize to Jay-Z and Beyonce.”
Some have theorized that Wright was never sued or threatened in the past because her stories must be true. However, it has been suggested that suing her wouldn’t do anyone any good because they couldn’t collect on a financial judgment (a la Taska K and Cardi B). Yet, Morgan and the networks he’s affiliated with could certainly be taken to court, which caused the swift apology clip.
Christopher Williams
The height of New Jack Swing icon Christopher William’s career was in the 1990s, but his legacy lives on. You can find him these days performing at festivals and even making a reality TV appearance or two, but his name was engrossed in controversy after Wright spoke about him in one of her many sit-downs. Wright alleged that many years ago, Williams had an oral sexual encounter with Diddy. Later, Williams clapped back, calling her a “crackhead” and said her assertions “ridiculous.”
He told Willie D Live, “Now she’s going on and on and on like she’s sure. But I’m like, ‘Bro, she’s hurting.’ I’m praying for her because we have to make a different stand and a different choice at this time. If I’m really solid, how can what she says affect me?” Moreover, this wasn’t the end of these two going back and forth; Wright would hop on RealLyfe Productions‘ couch again with a response. She vehemently denied taking any drugs and stood by her words.
Back in 2020, Wright was on Live once again and revealed shocking allegations about her former friend, Common. Wright was divulging alleged stories about the Chicago rapper and Philly icons The Roots, claiming that the emcee sexually assaulted her. According to the singer, the two were clothed when they were sharing a bed following a concert, and Common allegedly attempted to put his penis in her mouth. “You was with Serena [Williams], that didn’t work out. You was with whoever, you always got whoever’s hot dating you, but the sh*t don’t last long,” Wright said. “He ain’t been right since Lauryn Hill left him anyway.”
While speaking with Philadelphia’s Rise and Grind Morning Show, Common directly addressed the scathing rumors. “God bless, Jaguar. I really don’t have any negative thoughts towards her,” Common said. “I was for surely disappointed and hurt when she said what she said about me because it wasn’t true, I know people that have experienced sexual assault and that’s not anything to just say if it’s not true. But I also understand that she may be going through some things that I don’t understand.” He added, “In all truth, I went through different emotions. I’m like, oh man, why is she saying this? This is not true. How’s this gon’ affect me?”
DJ Vlad
He’s faced some harsh criticism from Hip Hop culture of his own, but that hasn’t stopped DJ Vlad from speaking up against Jaguar Wright. The VladTV creator also appeared on Piers Morgan’s show—the same episode as Wright. While the two didn’t speak on the program, Morgan did ask Vlad his thoughts on the singer’s outrageous allegations. Vlad made it clear he wasn’t a fan.
“Jaguar Wright is known to be a conspiracy theorist,” he told Morgan. “I don’t really co-sign anything that she says. I’ve never had her on my show, and I don’t have any plans to have her on my show.” Vlad added, “A lot of this stuff is just things she’s heard, things she’s making up. I can’t co-sign anything that Jaguar Wright is saying.” However, Wright later called his bluff, and in her following interview with RealLyfe Productions, she pulled up an email on her phone. She alleged that it came from DJ Vlad’s team, who requested an interview with her on VladTV.
When he caught wind of Wright’s latest update, Vlad was unmoved. He took to X to say, “Like I said in the Piers Morgan panel, Jaguar Wright has never been invited to do an interview, and she never will be. This is someone who seems to be suffering from mental illness. Anyone who interviews her is taking advantage of a mentally disabled person for views.” Famed music writer Touré has also echoed these sentiments about Wright’s mental stability.
It’s all fun and games until you hear your name wrapped up in a wild story, and Joe Budden wasn’t having any of it. The media personality took to his podcast to address Wright’s Piers Morgan interview and shut down rumors that the singer perpetuated. His response made it clear that he didn’t believe much of anything Jaguar Wright said about her knowledge of industry dealings and abuse. Budden also found himself on the receiving end of Wright’s accusations after she reportedly claimed the former rapper had a sexual encounter with Bad Boy producer Stevie J.
“No, she is grabbing the salacious and very obvious headlines and expounding on them with sh*t,” Joe Budden began. “And again, I’m only saying this ’cause I heard her say out of her mouth, that she saw a video of Stevie J and Joe Budden f*cking. So, I know, I know, I can say with 100 percent certainty—oh, that this lady just be saying sh*t to add to the luster of whatever the f*ck she’s saying.” To imprint his point, Budden continued, “I’ve never been in any compromising situation. I’ve never been in any situation where someone tried to overtake – that’s never happened to me.”
Ray J has had enough. Hitting his The Reality Check show, Ray J blasted Jaguar Wright after she made claims about him.
In case you missed it, Wright made claims about Whitney Houston’s relationship with Ray J, leading him to address her online. “When you are creating these stories and pushing narratives with no real basis, it’s clear that you’re doing some kind of attention-chasing or you’re doing this shit for clout. Or just for negative destruction, right?”
He continued, “Our culture needs more truth and integrity, not chaos and confusion. People were listening. You got our attention. Is what you’re saying true? Because this shit is outrageous. But I came to the conclusion that once I seen a story about me, and what you had to say about me and situations in my past, that is where I started to understand that you are totally fabricating stories and you are a complete liar. So that means that I have no respect for you and nothing you’re saying. So now I’ma go further. How dare you disrespect Jay-Z and Beyoncé? Jay-Z is an OG. Don’t ever disrespect Beyoncé.”

And Piers Morgan just found that out the hard way. Jaguar Wright was brought on to Piers Morgan Uncensored, where she spread rumors about the alleged crimes of Hov and Beyoncé. Morgan received a note from The Carters’ lawyers. Morgan said:
“Jaguar, unexpectedly, made several serious allegations about Jay-Z and Beyoncé during that interview. As I said in the moment, they were not present to respond or defend themselves, but now they have. Their lawyers contacted us to say that those claims were ‘totally false’ and have no basis in fact, and we’ve therefore complied with a legal request to cut them from the original interview. “Editing interviews is not something we do lightly at a show called Uncensored but like the proverbial cries of fire in a crowded theater, there are legal limits on us, too. And we apologize to Jay-Z and Beyoncé. “The thing about platforms, the reality of the modern world is that pretty much everyone has a platform as long as they have something to say that other people want to hear. That’s why we invited [Wright] on to be interviewed. The people making these claims have an audience with or without shows like mine.”

Beyoncé & Jay Z’s lawyers got Pierce Morgan to issue an apology and retraction on his “Uncensored” show after he allowed a deranged woman come on and spew falsehoods about them.
JAY-Z and Beyoncé received an apology from Piers Morgan over comments made on his show by Jaguar Wright. The Carters’ attorney, Alex Spiro, who spoke with TMZ, gives a bit more context into what led to the apology.
“This was a pointed and formal accusation of something that I felt needed to be responded to,” Spiro said. “I think somebody reported it was a cease-and-desist, it wasn’t that. It was quite bluntly an ultimatum. Remove that false accusation or a court is going to order you to.
“I think he made the wise choice and acted accordingly.”
