Dream Doll 5

Dream Doll is ending the year with a brand-new style! The “Life In Plastic 3” rapper went to her Instagram stories on Sunday to show off her newest hairstyle, and to share her unhealthy hair journey with her fans in hopes that they can learn from her mistakes. To give her a refresh, her long-time stylist  Arrogant Tae chopped off a few inches so that she could begin the process of growing out her strands in a healthy way.  

 She shared her hair journey through a series of posts, pictures, and videos that showed her hair process, color changes, and style choices that lead to breakage and damage.  Also asking her followers for suggestions on protective styles that help to put your hair on rest to give it a chance to grow.  

Fast forward two days later Dreamdoll shows a video of her wearing and running her hands through a hand full of braids done by Glam718 Salon and Spa in New York City, in New York City.

.  If you find your hair is falling out here are a few tips from the experts to bring those strands back to good health.

  • Cut off all damage like Dreamdoll did if you are not comfortable wearing short hair then you can always wear braids or wigs to cover it up until you get the desired length you need.
  • Always use a leave-in conditioner to help strengthen your strands in between your next wash.  Try blending a leave-in spray like the Mielle Organics Leave-In Conditioner White Peony with your hair gel and/ or styling creams to give weak strands the extra boost it needs. And if you are wearing weaves, closures, or braids spraying your hair twice a week will help to keep strands strong.

  • If you are coloring your hair blonde be sure to always keep it hydrated regularly as blonde is very drying on your natural strands.  Hydrating styling products, deep conditioners, and steaming your hair and masks will help.

Azealia Banks is back in the news making claims about Nicki Minaj’s finances. Banks says that Minaj is attempting to mess up one of her business deals, and that she is “broke” and allegedly pays blogs to make other rappers’ lives difficult.

On Friday, Azalea posted several Instagram Stories where she alleged that the 39-year-old rapper had paid the two bartenders that had sued Cardi B and she also accused her of paying Tasha K to go after Cardi while claiming that she was broke and owed many people.

“Imagine how pissed off @nickiminaj is to have paid 100k+ for them girls lawyers, put them in a video with weirdo tekashi for them to only get $5,000 a pop. Nicki wanted cardi to get hit with a felony and have her passport relinquished so she could no longer travel outside of the country. Imagine the salt on her rim when she pays Tasha k to lie and cardi wins a 4m reward in court. Imagine owing Rushka Bergman money for styling you. Imagine getting told no by @monotofficial then going out to purchase it,” Azalea said.

Azealia Banks also alleged that Nicki Minaj put her hairdresser, presumably Arrogant Tae, on retainer but then asked him to work for free.

“Imagine being so jealous that you put your hairdresser on retainer, telling him he can no longer work with longtime friends, only to turn around and ask him to work for free because ur money is f**ked up an all the barbs and blogs you pay to try and make female rappers lives difficult,” she said.

“Nicki Minaj is Broke like, Broke Broke. Scamming production companies for private jets and rented houses kind of broke,” Banks alleged.

Banks also claimed that Minaj was turned down for other business ventures which allegedly refused to work for her.

Azealia IG

“Gossip blogs and this extremely unentertaining Chickenhead media personality doesn’t work. It’s horrible acting sis. Stop yelling into your phone like you have no sense…Queen radio dropped from Apple, you got rejected by Netflix and HBO Max…then tried to give @bronstudios an ultimatum about working with me when chances are they’re probably not even going to release your documentary after how nasty you were to them and how disgusting they all think you are,” Banks wrote.

Azealia Banks also continued with her telling the rapper to go to rehab and claimed that she insinuated that the rapper was addicted to opioids. “you can’t travel to certain countries with those substances. And we don’t wanna see you have a seizure trying to quit opioids without medical assistance.”

Whoa. Thoughts?

Shereé Whitfield Finally Debuts Her She by Shereé Fashion Collection After 14 Years With Major Backlash

by
Sheree

She (no pun intended ) finally did it!  Shereé Whitfield finally debuts her She By Shereé fashion collection on the Real House Wives of Atlanta Season Finale On Sunday.  “I want everyone who feels like they can’t do it to keep pushing with prayer, determination, hard work … It will definitely pay off,” Whitfield said of pulling off her She by Shereé fashion show. If you haven’t kept up with the series, let us give you some backstory. In 2008 on the RHOA first season, Whitfield attempted to put on a fashion show but it didn’t go as planned She didn’t have samples to show due to poor production and quality and her failed attempt became a running joke amongst cast members on the show. This time around Whitfield debuted the line that she wanted, The guest list that attended the show was a real who’s who from the RHOA galaxy including cast members Kandi Burruss and husband Todd Tucker, Kenya Moore, Marlo Hampton, and Drew Sidora with Husband Ralph Pittman as well as friends and alums like Lisa Uw Hartwell, Peter Thomas and Married to Medicine’s Dr. Jackie Walters. 

 In an Instagram post that announced the season finale and the surprises to come, Whitfield confessed her struggles in creating the line to her followers. “When I look back at everything I see how far I have come. I have always had an eye for fashion and even had a luxurious boutique Bella Azul Which catered to the country’s elite. I was determined to create my own generational wealth for my kids. Freshly out of a divorce I wanted to regain my independence and get back to my first love which is fashion. It’s been a long 14 years as I have had hiccups and even moments of letting go of my dreams of having my own fashion line. It’s extremely hard when funding a fashion line by yourself with no backing behind you. Let She By Shereé be the example of perseverance for independent women….Thank u guys for the ❤. the support and even the shade….it all kept me going!! I love ❤ u guys! 😘

This time around didn’t come without its own set of controversy, Social media users slammed the RHOA for selling a $130 gray two-piece athleisure set that looks nearly identical to versions sold by Shein, and some fans Tweeted “Nah you wrong for these Shein joggers and charging NIKE prices,” another adding “Ummm when you can buy it from Amazon without the She by Sheree logo for a third of the price, then I have a problem.

If that wasn’t enough, and only after a few hours of going live the site crashed on Sunday, the designer claimed that the She by Shereé website crashed due to “overwhelming interest” and an “influx of love.” Whitfield assured fans that the issue was “being worked on” and urged them to check back in periodically.  We are working to get this quickly resolved,” she wrote in a statement. “We wish to serve you soon. Thank you for your interest. Thanks to the customers whom we were able to serve so far tonight.”   As of this morning,  the site is still down.

megan thee Stallion 9

During a recent interview with Ebro and Nadeska on Apple Music 1, Megan Thee Stallion, 27, discusses her newest album release ‘Traumazine’  juggling a crazy rap career and the loss of her mom. Megan’s mom, Holly Thomas, passed away in March 2019 from brain cancer.  Thomas used to rap herself under the name “Holly-Wood” and helped steer her daughter’s early career. Sadly, Megan’s grandmother also passed away just weeks later.  In the interview, she talks about the final piece of advice her mother gave her and how her mother’s death continues to affect her.  “At this point in my life, I really realized that my mama was really driving the car for a long time,” she mused. “I didn’t even have to think about too many things when mama was with me. I feel like it is just recently that it’s clicking to me, like who can I ask anything to?”  Admitting that she hates to put people in her business “When I’m going through something personal, I’m like, ‘I just got to pray,’ because I don’t even know who I can ask. Who can I ask about this situation? And who do I trust?” Through tears she then went on to say When I would do something good,  my mamma, would say “good job, that was good we did that.” admitting that she feels that she shouldn’t be crying by now when talking about her mom but also jokes through the tears. “But I know my mama she would say get your sh*t together.” Megan, a college graduate, and 5-time Grammy-winning rapper announced her mom’s death in a since-deleted Instagram post, tearfully recalling the last conversation she had with her mom and how her words get her through. “She was just like, ‘Just because I’m sick, you and T Farris, y’all don’t stop. Y’all need to go to L.A. and still do your show.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. I’m going to be back up here in a little bit.’ And then it was just over so quick and I was just like, ‘Oh my God, what do I do?’ She said, ‘Don’t stop,’ so then I just took that literally. And we’re here today,” she added.
