Azealia Banks recently responded to a fan for accusing her of bleaching her skin after she praised Beyoncé’s controversial new look. Beyonce gave people something to talk about when she appeared at her London screening of ‘Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé’. Beyonce stunned in her long platinum hair and had social media fans questioning if she lightened her skin. Azealia came to Beyonce’s defense as she read a fan for filth about Beyonce’s skin color.

The fan wrote:

Alright AB, relax. These last few pics you gave us got us looking at you sideways too. You not as Brown as we were introduced. You look like you hittin’ the cake soap too.

To which Azealia responded: 

YOU GUYS R INSANE.
THE BITCH LOOK TF GEWDT. PERIODDDD.
She is black, she has white ancestry. She does not hate herself, but anyone who has the time to delve into PLAYED OUT skin bleaching politics in 2023 SURELY has at least 20 other pro-black things they could be doing with the time spent trying to figure out if it’s gluta or kojic. LMAO She been light skinteded and we live for this look. This is the one and only BlANCA BARDOT. don’t question ha! Tuh! BLACK WOMEN DO NOT OWE YOU ANY EXPLANATIONS FOR ANYTHING GO ASK YOUR MOTHER.

And yes growing up in the hood, eating Chinese or chicken spot/ food stamps/freezer foods, no knowledge of skincare outside of a washcloth and dove soap. Knowing nothing about an spf/ microdermabrasion scrub/dry body brush… I never heard of putting a butter on my skin until I was 22! I had no clue butter even existed for skin, it was Nivea lotion and baby oil ONLY. So yes with fame came the financial opportunity to explore grooming products outside of the 99cent store and the pharmacy, it gave me the financial freedom to shop in places where they served fresh salads and green juice. This is actually my natural skin color, I am no longer OVERPRODUCING melanin because my body is battling environmental stress/ cellular oxidation due to malnutrition and food apartheid. Do you know what melanin is? What its evolutionary biological purpose is? Can you explain the melanin synthesis pathway to me? The different types of melanin? What is the main enzyme involved in melanin synthesis, and by which biochemical process does that enzyme undergo to create melanin? I’II wait…..

Michael Blackson has an opinion on Beyoncé's new look.

Michael Blackson has an opinion on Beyoncé’s new look. TMZ caught the comedian at LAX and he spoke about the social media reaction, stating Queen Bey was just trying to give JAY-Z something different.

“Beyoncé is one of the most proud to be Black woman on Earth,” Blackson said. “JAY-Z probably wanted to see something else in bed. He can’t cheat no more. So now she like ‘listen, I’ll give you another woman.’ She doing this for JAY-Z.”

But Mike better hope Ms. Tina don’t hear about his comments.

Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mom, is coming to the singer’s defense after haters were critical of her complexion in a picture from the Renaissance film premiere.

Beyoncé was photographed in a stunning head-to-toe silver look, which Versace created. Some pockets of the Internet questioned Queen Bey’s skin tone, accusing her of skin bleaching and attempting to be lighter in complexion or white.

“How sad is it that some of her own people continue the stupid narrative with hate and jealousy. Duh, she wore silver hair to match her silver dress as a fashion statement clown,” Knowles wrote. “ALIEN Superstar duh! What’s really sad is that a white woman had the audacity to reach out to Neal Beyonces hairstylist she was from TMZ to say that the fans are saying that she wants to be white and she wanted to get a statement about it from Neal. Well that made, my blood boil , that this white woman felt so entitled to discuss her blackness.”

Beyoncé continued the silver trend of the Renaissance tour at the premiere of her movie, Renaissance: A Film by Beyonce. Hitting the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, California, Mrs. Carter had silver hair.

Tamar Braxton is back with her fiance  Jeremy “Jr” Robinson after they had a public breakup with him announcing he was moving on. The award-winning singer took “accountability” for their breakup on Instagram Live as JR sat nearby off-camera. During the livestream, he asked Tamar why they broke up. She immediately pointed the finger at herself. “We broke up because of me, and because he announced it, it looked a certain way,” Tamar revealed.

She continued, “He announced the breakup, the breakup happened because of me.” Braxton continued, describing how she’s decided to take “accountability” for her role in the situation. “That’s a good man, and I’m so grateful that things played out the way that it has played out. And I think we need to normalize us females when it’s us,” she added. “I’m not blaming myself, I’m taking accountability.”

This comes just a few weeks after he was spotted on a date with Love And Hip Hop Atlanta star Tommie Lee.

Serena Williams Admits She is ‘Not OK’ Following Second Childbirth

by
Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian Welcome Second Daughter, Adira River Ohanian

Last night, Serena Williams revealed like many mothers she was experiencing a moment where she ‘does not feel ok.’ The 23-Grand Slam champion took to X (formally known as Twitter) to describe how she was feeling since giving birth 3-months ago. In her post, the mom of two had a simple message that many parents might relate to. 

“I am not ok today,” she tweeted. “And that’s ok to not be ok.”

Serena Williams Secures Two-Book Deal, Including an ‘Intimate’ and ‘Open-Hearted’ Memoir

She continued, “No one is ok every single day. If you are not ok today I’m with you. There’s always tomorrow 😘 Love you.”

This is not the first time the athlete has used her voice to spread mental health awareness. Last year, she opened up on her wellness journey during a discussion with singer Selena Gomez, for her Wondermind platform.

“Mental fitness for me is just really learn[ing] to shut down,” Williams said. “And you know I did this years ago, before even mental health was a topic among everyone’s mind.”

She added, “It was more just like, alright, I’m shutting myself down today. Just subconsciously, it was something I’ve always done. And so now that I know that it’s so important to just put yourself first, especially mentally, I always have shut down moments. I have serious boundaries and I don’t let anyone cross those boundaries.”

Latto Covers Forbes 30 Under 30 Issue, Details the 'Launchpad' to Her Career

Latto is one of the Hip-Hop stars who made the latest edition of the Forbes 30 under 30 list. During her feature story, she recalled The Rap Game launching her to become a household name.

“That was my first launchpad for my career,” Latto said. “But social media wouldn’t have been a thing if I wasn’t putting in that groundwork, like hustling and networking.”

Latto also states she caught “the tail-end of two generations” as she is able to adjust her brand to be fitting for TikTok.

Additional music entries in the list include Ice Spice and Steve Lacy.

Recently, Latto pointing fingers at hip-hop fans for causing a divide among the women of rap. Speaking with XXL, Latto believes stan culture drives the beef between women in rap.

“I think it really don’t be a problem until we let fans, Stans, whatever you want to call them, like the outsiders once they get in the mix. I think that’s what stirs the pot,” Latto said. “Because it’s like, we will all be fans of each other and commenting and following each other, whatever, but then once they get to comparing, they will turn us against each other, which is very weak-minded of us as female rappers.”

She added, “I think we be falling for these traps that they put on female rappers.”

To close out the month, Latto will create a all-women cypher.

Latto is officially a part of the fastest single to hit a billion streams in Spotify history. Latto joined Jung Kook on the “Seven” single earlier this year, which racked up a billion plays faster than any song ever. It only took just over three months.

Latto notched the first No. 1 single placement for Hip-Hop in 2023. Latto‘s collaboration with Jung Kook, “Seven,” lands at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in July, making her the first rapper to get to that position in 2023. It is the first No. 1 of Latto’s career.

Latto celebrated the achievement on her Instagram story: “Oop am I a bora girl now? 🙈 Forever grateful!! Thanks JK for trusting me! Armypots up +10000.”

Jung Kook is a K-pop star and a member of the group BTS. The single is believed to be the first from his forthcoming album.

“Seven” also topped the global Spotify chart in July with 10.937 million streams.

LISTEN: Cardi B Doesn’t Leave Her House Unless It’s $1M For A Show

by
Cardi B Eyes Super Bowl Performance: 'I Would Say Yes'

Cardi B is a superstar, and she moves accordingly. 

Fresh off her viral video of sleeping through Thanksgiving day, an audio clip of the “Bongos” rapper surfaced online revealing she doesn’t leave the crib to do a show unless it’s a hefty bag of a million dollars. 

The comment arrived in the midst of a rant to her haters, sparked by Love & Hip Hop star Hazel-E. It all began when Hazel claimed she never received credit after paving the way for Cardi B to shoot the video for her viral smash “Bodak Yellow.”

Alongside a clip from the video, Hazel wrote on her Instagram Story: “This would never got cleared if I weren’t Girl Code & wanted to see a fellow love & hip hop girl get on. They said Hazel who is this? Should we do her video. I said do it, but I didn’t know they was going to pay or give my Dubai team credit. If I did, I woulda never co-signed the shoot. Let’s tap in the team! And when you got kicked out of White for being [too] Cardi in Dubai, I was still like give her a pass she don’t know better.”

Of course, Cardi is not one to hold back. She responds: “I’m a real powerful bitch bro. You know what’s so funny? Sometimes there’s certain reasons why some bitches don’t like you. “Bitches just don’t like you sometimes because you probably a bitch competition or you probably fucked the same n*gga or y’all got into an exchange.”

“I’m a real powerful bitch,” she reitrates. “I be making these bitches pull they fucking pussy hairs, and I don’t even know these hoes. Not only don’t I know these hoes, these hoes don’t even stay on my fucking mind. These bitches don’t even be on my fucking mind and I be on theirs.”

“When these bitches be jacking that they don’t like me, they don’t have no fucking reason to like me. They always got to put another bitch in it because you ain’t got no fucking reason.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/C0IJV1ep19W/

Cardi then goes into all the reasons why she has haters, because she’s “a bad bitch, pretty face, poppin’ ass body, little fucking feet, fucking good pussy, n-gga that would fucking kill for a bitch, pretty ass fucking kids. This pussy made pretty ass fucking kids, successful ass bitch.”

She then makes a bold statement: “I don’t even come out the house to perform if it’s $1 million and up. I don’t even come out the fucking house if you motherfuckers aren’t paying me one million dollars and up for a fucking show. The fuck? You want me to take a plane overseas? It gotta be $1.5 million to $2 million bitch.”

Talk that shit then Cardi!
