Media mogul Oprah Winfrey and Dwayne Johnson have donated $10 million to establish a fund that will give direct cash assistance to Maui residents displaced by catastrophic wildfires that destroyed hundreds of homes on the island.

The People’s Fund of Maui will give $1,200 a month to adults who are not able to return to their primary residences because of the recent wildfires, including people who owned and rented their homes, according to the fund’s website. The fund will also seek donations to extend the length of time it can provide the support.

“How do we help?” the “Young Rock” star said he and Winfrey asked each other during the wildfires, saying in a video released along with the announcement that they grappled with how to best direct their efforts. “You want to take care of the greatest need of the people, and that’s giving them money.”

They are looking forward to the help of “every person who called me and said, ‘What can I do?’” Winfrey said in the video. “This is what you can do.”
Winfrey, who lives on Maui part-time, visited an emergency shelter on Maui in the days after the wildfire hit and worried about effectively getting resources to residents. At least 115 people were killed in the fires, though an unknown number are still missing. The fire that ripped through the historic town of Lahaina on Aug. 8 was the deadliest in the U.S. in more than a century.

In the announcement, Winfrey and Johnson said they consulted with “community elders, leaders and residents including Hōkūlani Holt-Padilla, Keali’i Reichel, Archie Kalepa, Ekolu Lindsey, Kimo Falconer, Tiare Lawrence, Kaimana Brummel, Kaleikoa Ka’eo, Brian Keaulana, Kaimi Kaneholani, Henohea Kāne, Paele Kiakona, Ed Suwanjindar, Shep Gordon and Jason Momoa.”

T.I. and Tiny Seeking Legal Fees from Ex-Friend Sabrina Peterson

Two years ago rapper T.I. and his wife, singer Tiny Harris were sued by their former friend Sabrina Peterson for defamation of character, invasion of privacy, interference with prospective economic advantage, and emotional distress. Peterson publicly accused the couple of being sexual predators and luring women with drugs for their sexual pleasure. 

Now T.I. and Tiny are seeking reimbursement of their legal fees after Peterson quietly dropped the case.

Radar Online reports:

Rapper T.I. and his wife Tiny want their ex-friend Sabrina Peterson to pay a 6-figure sum to cover the legal fees they racked up defending themselves in the lawsuit she brought accusing the couple of a coordinated harassment attack, RadarOnline.com has learned.

According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, T.I. [real name: Clifford Harris] and Tiny have demanded $164,650.56 from Sabrina.

Now, in a newly filed document, T.I. and Tiny asked the court to award them $164,650.

“The Harrises’ request for $164,650.56 in attorneys’ fees and costs is reasonable and in line with fee awards regularly affirmed in this district. Given the complexity of the legal issues, the time necessary to adjudicate Peterson’s seven causes of action over a two-year period, and the additional costs of appeal, the amount requested should be awarded in full,” the couple’s lawyer wrote.

A judge has yet to rule. The case remains ongoing with the remaining claims.

Earlier this year, gossip vlogger Tasha K filed for bankruptcy to avoid paying the $4 million judgment awarded to rapper Cardi B after she won judgement against Tasha for defamation of character.

What would you buy your billionaire husband if you were the icon Beyonce? Her legendary husband— rap legend Jay-Z owns real estate, islands, automobiles, clothing and several companies. The Renaissance queen bought her king a private jet! The lavish and pricey gift was presented to Jay-Z on Father’s Day.

Back in 2012, Beyoncé acquired a private jet worth $40 million to commemorate her husband’s first Father’s Day.  According to CBS, Beyoncé bought a Bombardier Challenger 850 for Jay-Z, boasting the capacity to accommodate up to 19 passengers. This lavish gift is equipped with a bedroom, two bathrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. Notably, the arrangement of the luxurious leather seats can be flexibly reconfigured to suit the passenger count and the specific nature of the trip.

The US Sun reported both of the aircraft’s bathrooms are equipped with bathtubs, while the kitchen and bar are fully provisioned. Inside the bedroom, a king-sized bed offers comfort, and the living room features a generously sized flat-screen TV with built-in WiFi for seamless streaming. Externally, the plane is adorned with a prominent Puma decal, and Jay-Z’s authentic name, Shawn Carter, is showcased with his signature “S. Carter.”

Throughout their marriage, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have exchanged opulent gifts. On his 41st birthday, Beyoncé presented her husband with a $2 million Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport, a vehicle so exclusive that even she had to be put on a year-long waitlist to acquire it. On his 43rd birthday, the rapper was gifted a $5 million diamond-studded Hublot watch by the songstress.

Jay-Z also showered his wife with a plethora of gifts fit for a queen. Back in 2013, Jay-Z purchased his wife a private island! So while we see the Carters traipsing to exotic locations around the world, B’s island reportedly serves as a frequent vacation destination for the Carters.

What do you think they will purchase next?

Step Up Your Style: A Tribute to the 50th Anniversary of Hip Hop

by

Hip Hop Fashion has always influenced fans, sports, music and most aspects of entertainment. In a dazzling fusion of high fashion and hip-hop culture, designer Kimberly Dumas has unveiled a groundbreaking creation to mark the 50th anniversary of hip hop – the Custom Black Biggie Smalls Crocs. Paying homage to the genre’s iconic figures and its undeniable impact on fashion, these custom Crocs are a stunning testament to the creativity and innovation that hip hop has inspired across various art forms.

The Biggie Smalls Crocs are not just another pair of shoes; they are a carefully crafted masterpiece that marries the laid-back comfort of Crocs with the opulence and style that have become synonymous with high fashion. Drawing inspiration from the legendary rapper Notorious B.I.G., also known as Biggie Smalls, Dumas has ingeniously woven together the elements that defined his style and legacy.

The most striking aspect of these custom Crocs is the meticulous detailing that sets them apart. One shoe is a nod to the iconic Coogi sweater, a signature of Biggie’s fashion repertoire. Dumas took this concept a step further by incorporating actual pieces of a Coogi sweater into the design. The result is a captivating blend of texture and color that captures the essence of Biggie’s bold and flamboyant style.

On the other shoe, Dumas channels the luxurious aesthetics of Versace, a brand that Biggie Smalls frequently referenced in his lyrics. Gold embellishments adorn the Croc, evoking the opulence that Versace is renowned for. But the pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the real crystals that spell out “Biggie Smalls” on the heel of the Croc. This detail not only adds an element of extravagance but also serves as a sparkling homage to the rapper himself.

Kimberly Dumas has been dubbed the NYC Croc Queen. Designing custom hip hop Crocs for the who’s who in the industry. “I needed to create a shoe to show Biggie’s fans that I mean business when it comes to celebrating one of the best lyricists to date. Having real Versace and Coogie pieces dominate the shoes were a necessity”, Dumas revealed. “Creating became something that fell into my lap. I was on vacation. I was staying with my sister who has everything in the world. I wanted to make her something money can’t buy. I decided to make her a custom pair of Crocs and the rest is history. It was my first time experimenting with any type of arts & crafts project and I have been customizing Crocs and other items for the past two years”, states Kim who made her sister a wedge Croc with bling on it. “It gave me so much joy to see my sister’s reaction”.

The Custom Black Biggie Smalls Crocs stand as a symbol of how hip hop has transcended musical boundaries to shape various aspects of culture, including fashion. Hip hop has always been a platform for self-expression and individuality, and these Crocs capture that essence flawlessly. They tell a story of an artist who defied norms, embraced his unique style, and left an indelible mark on both music and fashion.
As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip hop, the Custom Black Biggie Smalls Crocs stand as a testament to the enduring influence of the genre. They remind us that hip hop is more than just music; it’s a cultural movement that continues to inspire and shape the world around us. So, if you’re looking to step up your style game while paying homage to an icon, these custom Crocs are the perfect choice. Slip into them and walk in the footsteps of a legend, making a fashion statement that resonates with the beats of hip hop’s past, present, and future.

Last week Miami rapper Gunplay was arrested for pointing a gun at his wife, Vonshaé, while she was holding their infant daughter. Following his arrest Vonshaé announced she was divorcing the rapper, an old video of Gunplay and Vonshaé bickering went viral.
Now Vonshaé is setting the record straight after fans accused her of antagonizing Gunplay and threatening to cut off his phone,

She posted to her Instagram:

This entire situation is sickening….. that live you guys are trying to use as the event is FALSE. That is his studio in our laundry room. Two entire different situations and events. The video game is in our bedroom. Tensions been high in the house, I’ve been fed up with a lot of stuff. I was already looking for a divorce in June. He was begging me not to leave. He said he would do therapy and I tried it. He went to one session and never did it again.
.
Do you guys understand how unhinged he was to break a porcelain sink after I left!!!!
.
If he didn’t do anything and I’m “exaggerating” why the hell did he reach out to a lawyer asking for a bond in the midst of all this drama? That’s a innocent person?
.
He in jail contacting my friends and family trying to have me drop the charges. Now he in jail having HIS friends talk to me and about me online CRAZY.
.
I hope the justice system doesn’t fail another black woman and child. If they do, he still will NEVER be able to be around me or my child.
.
It doesn’t matter however y’all spin it. Pulling a gun out on your family and then choking a child in the midst is UNACCEPTABLE.
