Simone Biles Claps Back At Wedding Day Hairstyle Haters

by

It was undoubtedly a weekend full of love, as several noteworthy celebrities tied the knot. Not only did Sofia Richie and her beau Elliott Grainge exchange vows, but Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and NFL player Jonathan Owens were also married in Houston. The latter ceremony took place on Saturday (April 22) and was a quaint courthouse affair with close family and friends. The 26-year-old made sure to share plenty of content with her fans on social media following the wedding, though some internet trolls had unkind comments to make about her hairstyle of choice for the big day.

Biles certainly kept it simple, wearing her shiny black inches back into a high ponytail with beautiful waves hanging by her shoulders. Around her face, some baby hairs and edges sit, unlaid, which is markedly a serious problem for some. “I’m happy for Simone Biles Owens, but mfs acting like her edges didn’t look bad is annoying,” one person wrote on Twitter. “It’s not hating to point out something factual???” they added. Thankfully, the love for the Ohio native came out on top of the hate, with many others speaking out in defence of her simple style.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens Tie the Knot

“Simone Biles is one of THEE top gymnasts we’ve ever seen, has overcome situations of abuse and other obstacles in her childhood, has defined her own success and found love and is now happily married,” one of them pointed out. “And y’all worried about her hair..?!” The newlywed caught sight of this sweet message and took time out of her day to respond. “I think they also forget I live in HOUSTON, TEXAS and I sweat those out!!” Biles pointed out.

“Soon as we stepped outside for pics,” she added. “But they can keep complaining, idc idc idc,” the athlete’s message ended, making it clear that she’s completely unbothered by the discourse surrounding her hair, or anything else to do with her and Owens’ special moment.

Latto Reacts To Troll Criticizing Her “Implants”: “Just A BBL Mid-Clap”

by

No matter how hard haters try to stop Latto’s shine with their nasty commentary and shady subtweets, she simply won’t let them. The 24-year-old has been near-constantly slammed by critics in recent months, whether they called her out for refusing to work with them despite being a self-proclaimed “girl’s girl,” or simply slammed her for wearing the same underwear in thirst traps taken months apart from each other. Most recently, the “Wheelie” hitmaker has internet trolls throwing shade at her body – particularly her behind, which she previously had cosmetically enhanced.

In response to a photo dump posted on Twitter by Latto on Saturday (April 22), one person commented specifically on an image that finds her bodacious booty in the middle of a twerking session. “First pic 🤣🤣🤣,” they wrote. “The implants are so visible.” Despite what the critic had to say, the Atlanta-based artist made it abundantly clear that she paid for a different procedure to give her the figure of her dreams. “Just a BBL mid-clap,” she responded last night, earning nearly 4K likes from followers.

Twitter Trolls Come for Latto

Of course, the distasteful comments about her body didn’t stop there. “Then why it still lumpy when you standing sis? Is that mid-clap too or?” one person asked while providing a photo of Latto on stage in assless pants, her famous bottom fully on display. Others questioned why the reality starlet even gives attention to those bringing negativity into her life. “No, but sis he got five likes on that, and no one know him,” someone pointed out. “Why are you paying ANY MIND to him? 😭✋🏽.”

Aside from clapping back at those haters yesterday, the 777 starlet also found herself in hot water with another rap diva this weekend. After sharing her “Put It On Da Floor” single on Friday (April 21), Coi Leray called Latto out for seemingly body-shaming her, though she’s since admitted to potentially overreacting about the situation.

Lil Baby’s BM, Ayesha, Claps Back At Haters Calling Her “Big” By Flexing Snatched Waist: Video

by

Earlier today (April 21), Lil Baby was faced with accusations of fathering the child of an Instagram model named Daliesha Keys. At this time, the internet is questioning the validity of the paternity test she posted online. The document is in Spanish and was seemingly photoshopped, according to some internet sleuths. While that debacle sorts itself out, one of the Atlanta native’s confirmed co-parents, Ayesha Howard, is also making headlines after clapping back at internet trolls hating on her body.

Earlier this week, she appeared on the Dear Future Husband show. During the interview, she discussed her past relationship with Baby, among other things. At the time, Ayesha told the hosts she has no interest in pursuing her child’s father romantically again, which certainly sparked conversation among viewers. At the same time, some tuning into the episode were too focused on the mother of one’s appearance to take in what she was saying. The boldest among them even left comments about her looking “big” in the footage.

Ayesha Claps Back at Haters

“In my latest interview – I did an interview in a sitting position,” she said in a video posted to her Instagram Story earlier this week. “From this angle,” Ayesha demonstrated a slightly less flattering view of her face. “With a turtle neck on… So maybe I gave chunky,” she said before noting that her voice sounds hoarse after recently losing it. “I just saw some comments that [were] like, ‘Oh my God, she got big! She look chunky.’ I don’t know, my cheeks are kind of big, but…”

The social media starlet then panned the camera down to show off her toned abs, as well as her perky booty in a workout set. “It’s not giving chunky, ever. We’re not gonna let it give chunky,” she responded to the criticism. Of course, the camera does have a tendency to add a few pounds but regardless, Lil Baby’s ex is making it clear that her figure is in perfect shape – and that’s not up for debate.

JT Claps Back At Haters Dissing Her & Lil Uzi Vert’s Style

by

If there’s one person JT doesn’t play about, it’s her partner Lil Uzi Vert. The pair have always been each other’s ride or die. They take turns spoiling one another with luxurious and romantic gifts. Elsewhere, they’ve been defending one another from the countless internet trolls causing problems online. What many have come to love about the unconventional couple is their unique style, which even saw the Philadelphia native debuting a new alter ego, Leslie, during his trip to Thailand this past weekend.

While LUV took over the stage at Rolling Loud, their girlfriend and her partner in rhymer, Yung Miami, lit things up at Revolve Festival. For her appearance, JT wore her hair in a sleek black middle-parted style, her stunning facial features accentuated by a dark, glamorous beat. Around her neck, she wore a massive cross pendant, and her outfit perfectly matched the vibe, consisting of all-black garments. “She is stunning oh my God,” one Twitter user wrote when sharing an image of the City Girl with their followers. Another person quote tweeted the post, though their thoughts on JT’s appearance were far less kind.

Twitter Disses JT’s Dark New Look

“Uzi got her dressed like the ‘Bride of [Chucky]’,” they wrote. While it earned them minimal clout in the form of 1.2K likes, it also got an aggressive clap back from JT herself. “It’s really not funny as it was years ago!” she said to the hater. “Bitch I had on my outfit for my show, get off his f*ck obsessed asf!!!!” After the “Twerkulator” artist unleashed her rage, the OP clarified, “I ain’t say [you] look ugly [with] the gothic style lol.” Regardless, the 30-year-old was clear that she’s tired of hearing the discourse about her relationship. “How ’bout you don’t say shit and go sale your socks in peace!” she ended the conversation.

It seems JT was in a mood today (April 18), as she also had time to come for someone who was seemingly trying to defend her lashing out at haters. “One thing I love about JT, she always gonna step behind the people she love,” they tweeted. “It’s just sad when the energy not reciprocated. Before long, the “Act Up” artist entered the chat. “Bitch shut uppppppp, you don’t even know me to care if energy is reciprocated,” the City Girl pointed out. “Go make sure your family straight. Get off the internet, fake caring about strangers ’cause [I don’t give a f*ck] about you!!!!!!” See the drama for yourself below, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Halle Berry’s Nude Instagram Photo Criticized, She Responds

by

It takes serious guts to post a thirst trap online these days, especially knowing how ruthless trolls can be on social media. Regardless, a healthy roster of celebrities have been showing off their figures as the weather continues to warm up – one of them even stripping down to her birthday suit this past weekend for a tasteful Instagram portrait. 56-year-old Halle Berry is the starlet in question, and she looked stunning while sipping on a glass of wine sans clothing this past Saturday (April 8).

Upon posting the image, the Catwoman lead received a mostly positive reaction, especially from fellow celebrities. Meagan Good commended her girlfriend for her “big Leo energy,” while others like Halle Bailey, Kelly Rowland, and Saweetie also dropped to share words of support. The uplifting comments by far outweigh the unavoidable hate comments, but Berry still couldn’t resist the urge to clap back at one particularly troubled Twitter user. “Imagine being in your 50s, still posting nudes for attention in menopause when you should be chilling with the grandkids,” they wrote above her salacious snapshot.

Halle Berry Claps Back at Haters

“Aging with dignity is no longer a thing,” their hate message concluded. Upon reading the judgmental words for herself, Berry decided to take them in stride. “Did you guys know the heart of a shrimp is located in its head?” she wrote back, earning upwards of 175K likes on Twitter. In @theshaderoom’s comment section, IG users have been debating the discourse, many of them leaning toward the Ohio native’s side. “I’m tired of [people] acting as if you’re supposed to stop having fun once you get older🙄,” one person vented.

Another pointed out that, considering how phenomenal she looks at her age, it’s no wonder Halle Berry wants to flaunt what she’s got. “If I looked as good as she does in her 50s I would be posting nudes too lol,” they admitted. “She’s not a grandma and I did not know that about shrimp!” another quippy comment reads, proving that most others online are completely unbothered by seeing the mother of two’s nearly-nude body. Do you think that HB’s post was too much? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Nicki Minaj Claps Back At Trolls Dissing Her Driving Skills: “That’s A Lie From The PITS Of Hell”

by

Nicki Minaj’s Instagram game has been unmatched as of late. Not only does she have the Barbz buzzing over her “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” music video teaser, but she’s also providing plenty of fashion inspiration for the upcoming months. On Saturday (March 25), the mother of one’s feed lit up with a series of photos. In them, she sports distressed skinny jeans, a brown leather corset top layered over a sheer short-sleeved tea, and lace-up high-heel boots to match.

Rather than her usual long black hair, Minaj wore a hot pink wig with inches reaching down to her thighs. “Caught’m wit they hand out, tryna catch the sauce,” she captioned the post, which came complete with three stunning images. The first two reveal her entire outfit, from head to toe. Afterward, the final snapshot gives us a close-up of her oversized sunglasses, chain, and extra-long stiletto nails.

Nicki Minaj’s New Instagram Photos

Elsewhere on her IG feed, the Trinidadian shared a video of her pulling up at her residence in an electric Range Rover. “See the difference is I run businesses / If I ain’t implore you then what your business is?” she raps with the window down. Unfortunately for Minaj, internet trolls have been having a field day laughing at the footage, many of them clowning her skills behind the wheel. “No cause she was about to drive the car in the bushes 😭,” one Twitter user wrote after seeing the comedic video of the rap diva whipping around with her friend Tae.

Upon seeing the diss for herself, Nicki Minaj was quick to clap back at her hater. “That’s a lie from the PITS of Hell!!!” she wrote early on Saturday morning. Even with her wrath raining down, others have continued to tease the “Barbie Dreams” hitmaker for her questionable driving. “Bro almost hit the dashboard,” one person pointed out. Another wrote, “Tae was scared fr. He was looking through the [windshield].” Others brought the industry icon’s age into the conversation, claiming “she’s too old for the shenanigans lol.” See more Twitter reactions for yourself below, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Latto Accused Of Shading Ice Spice, She Claps Back

by

Her critics never take a day off, and Latto is once again defending herself online. The 777 hitmaker is enjoying life as “Big Energy” continues to sit on the charts, but with success comes naysayers. Latto’s social media clap backs are well documented, and she added another to the list after she was accused of trying to subtly shade Ice Spice. The “Munch” rapper is a newcomer in the femcee arena, and as usual, fans are attempting to create a divide. This latest spat had to do with Latto reposting her birthday upload from 2020. It was then that she showed off her new Corvette while bending over in front of the luxury vehicle.

It seemed innocent enough, but people noticed the pose looked familiar. Ice Spice used a drawing of herself in a similar position for the cover of her Like…? EP, and social media users accused Latto of aiming her peer. It was attention that she didn’t appreciate. “I don’t like how y’all take my tweets & make them fit ur weak ass narratives,” she wrote in response. A user told her that she was the person who created the narrative. Latto replied, “Every time y’all accuse me of copying folks ima clear it up. Nun mo nun less.💋.”

Latto Wants Critics To Back Off

After her response circulated, Latto returned to her Instagram Story. In three slides, she shared three selfies. Over the images, she wrote, “LEAVE. ME. ALONE.” Fanbases have been called out for how they pit artists against each other, especially women. A standard narrative is that it’s challenging to get women in the Rap game to get along, but the camaraderie among femcees has been etched in Hip Hop since its inception. Additionally, Latto was seen alongside Yung Miami filming a music video with Lola Brooke earlier this week. It looked like the trio was working on the visual to a remix of Brooke’s “Don’t Play With It” hit.

Meanwhile, Latto has been taking extra hits online due to her previous fallout with Nicki Minaj. The ladies went to verbal war on Twitter during the time when the Grammy nominations were announced. Minaj took issue with her potential placement in the Pop category, and Latto’s name was quickly added to the conversation. The latter has made it clear throughout her career that she idolized Minaj, but this unfortunate moment shifted things. Check out Latto’s tweets above.

Latto Claps Back At LAX Glock Arrest Haters, Shows Out In Chanel At The Atlanta Hawks Game

by

It seems as though Latto can’t catch a break online recently, and this past weekend was no exception. She’s been her usual chipper self in the social media space. Still, Twitter followers were rubbed the wrong way after seeing her recall a previous arrest at LAX airport. The incident took place after she arrived with a loaded Glock stashed in her Birkin. “Got locked and let out in a few hours lmaooo,” the rap diva recalled.

“Booked a $75K jet to my show in Alabama and still made it on time! No cap in my rap TUH,” Latto wrote on Friday (March 17). At the time, many threw shade her way. They quickly pointed out that she shouldn’t have been surprised to face such consequences for bringing a weapon to an airport. “It’s her saying ‘TUH’ as if this proves she really a gangsta,” one user clowned the 777 hitmaker. “Whole time this Donna Karan is licensed to carry.”

Latto Claps Back at the Haters

On Saturday (March 18), the fashionista addressed the hate coming her way. “A mf answer a question for my fans and y’all think a bitch tryna flex going to jail. Lmao, what?” Latto asked yesterday afternoon. While some trolls continued to press her about the LAX incident, others stood supportively by the “Wheelie” rapper in her time of need. “You know you’ve made it when you can’t sneeze without offending someone,” one person quipped. “Literally they always in your business,” another pointed out.

While the internet drama certainly isn’t fun, the 24-year-old clearly had a great time attending the Atlanta Hawks NBA game at State Farm Arena to kick off her weekend. Looking as stunning as ever, she stepped out in a fun, single-strap Chanel dress, carrying a quilted light pink purse from the same brand. Her bronde hair was swept back into a ponytail, and the smile on her face made it evident that the haters aren’t stopping her shine. Keep scrolling for more photos and videos from Latto’s Friday night out, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Yung Miami Responds To “BMF” Backlash On Twitter As Trolls Clown Her Performance

by

She’s best known as one-half of the City Girls, but that doesn’t mean Yung Miami doesn’t have other aspirations outside of becoming a rap icon. Most recently she’s been pouring her energy into several different avenues. Among them are her upcoming music releases alongside JT, her Caresha Please podcast, and finally, her acting career. The Florida-born performer first showed up in Netflix’s You People. She’s since gone on to have two noteworthy TV stints as well.

Kenya Barris’ Grown-ish series hired the mother of two to play Ms. It in one episode of their fourth season. Elsewhere, 50 Cent brought Miami onto the BMF cast alongside names like Lil Meech, Kash Doll, and La La Anthony. Her appearance in season two aired on Thursday (March 9) night. It obviously left plenty of viewers upset – according to Twitter, anyway.

Caresha Brownlee, Aspiring Actress

Users haven’t been biting their tongues about the 29-year-old’s performance, some of them dubbing it “the worst acting” that they’ve ever seen. In her brief scene with Meech, Miami slaps him after hearing the bad news that her own partner has been shot. As some social media users pointed out, this is similar to the “Twerkulator” artist’s real-life situation with one of her children’s fathers, who previously lost his life.

Unfortunately, Caresha’s acting wasn’t giving the emotions that BMF fans wanted. Many were quick to criticize her for looking as though she wanted to laugh during the serious moment onscreen. As the trolls continue to clown her, the recording artist didn’t hesitate to clap back at this on Friday (March 10) afternoon. “If I’m crying why y’all laughing??? Y’all play [too] much,” she wrote.

Miami is Tired of the Trolls

In other posts, Miami showed love to those supporting her venture into acting. “So today y’all hating on @yungmiami305? She went from scamming, finessing, etc. to rapping, talk show hosting, and acting… Now y’all mad? Damned if you do, damned if you don’t!” one enthusiastic fan wrote.

“I love to see [people] win in life, elevate, and give their family the [world]!” their sweet message concluded. In response, the City Girl said, “The more they hate, the more opportunities come!! It’s only the beginning for me!” Read more Twitter reactions to Yung Miami’s BMF performance here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

City Girls’ Awkward Rolling Loud Interviewer Responds To Backlash: “I STILL GOT PAID”

by

Rolling Loud California is over for another season, but the internet isn’t quite done talking about the hip-hop festival yet. Praise is continuing to pour in for 23-year-old Ice Spice, who brought in one of the biggest audiences of the weekend for her set, and plenty of other female artists showed their stuff too. Among them were Nicki Minaj, who made a surprise visit during Lil Wayne’s stage time, and the City Girls, who debuted a new song while they were performing.

“Piñata” is the title of the unreleased single. We have no official premiere date as of now. Still, Yung Miami previously said that new music from her and JT is coming sometime this spring and/or summer. As they put on a show, rapping old favourites from their discography, as well as more recent arrivals, the City Girls reminded audiences exactly why they love them. From their curve-hugging, coordinated outfits to the sheer excitement of securing the bag at Rolling Loud beside their best friend, the partners in rhyme looked as though nothing could ruin their mood last weekend.

City Girls Take Rolling Loud California 2023

Unfortunately, that energy didn’t last long. At one point during the festival, Caresha and Jatavia spoke with media personality Tamera Kissen, and needless to say, the interview was nothing short of unprofessional. In a clip that’s been circulating online, the host and Yung Miami go back and forth about previously linking up at an event while JT awkwardly watches on. By the time the City Girls start answering questions, things only become more embarrassing to take in.

“Did you know it’s the 50th day of hip-hop today?” Kissed asked. “No,” the REVOLT podcast host responded. “Me neither, they told me to talk about it,” the host said, obnoxiously laughing. Shortly after, she began pressing the City Girls for details on when they “last let a broke dude hit,” among other uncomfortable topics. As the video continues to circulate online, plenty of backlash is pouring in for the interviewer. At the same time, the “Twerkulator” artists are hearing praise for pushing through the weird moment.

Tamera Kissen Responds to Backlash

On her Twitter page, Kissen has had plenty to say about her chat with the City Girls. “The community really don’t f*ck with you if you ain’t full Black, let’s just be honest,” she vented online. In response, another user wrote, “No baby, it was just a really bad interview. Like… horrific. Nothing to do with race, learn and grow.” Not letting the haters get her down, the 28-year-old continued to rant about the situation in another series of tweets.

“Some FYI: When footage is raw and unedited like that and people throw things at you last min as an interviewer it’s because someone on the job doesn’t want you to do good. Nothing I haven’t dealt [with] before,” she began. “Shit really ain’t that serious. The girls that don’t like me all look the saaaaaaaaaame.” Kissen went on to compare the industry to being back in high school before reminding followers that “at the end of the day, [SHE] STILL GOT PAID.” Let us know what you thought of the City Girls’ awkward Rolling Loud interview below, and check back later for more pop culture news.
