Rihanna Drops ‘Rub on Ya Titties’ Collection of Photos From Pregnancy

Rihanna hit Beverly Hills streets on Monday, and the baby bump is showing! Hitting the streets, Rih Rih didn’t bring out the Wu-Tang tee this time, instead opting for another iconic group in Rage Against the Machine.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky continues to give parenting goals. The two were in Barbados, and Rihanna shared an image of Rocky holding their son, RZA.

The ‘Umbrella’ singer celebrated on her Instagram page, writing ‘Bad gal bili.’

‘Wit no new album…lemme talk my sh*t,’ the Barbardian-born beauty joked, adding a winking emoji with its tongue out next to an emoji of the flag of her home country.  

Her last album, Anti, dropped in 2016.  

The monumental achievement follows Rihanna’s viral SuperBowl LVII halftime performance, where the former Fenty CEO showed off her baby belly, revealing she was pregnant with her second child.

Arguably one of the most influential singers of the 21st century, Rihanna would go on to release several follow-up, record-breaking albums.

Her 2012 album, Unapologetic, was Rihanna’s first studio record to hit number one on the Billboard 200 chart.

The dedicated philanthropist also ventured out into multiple business ventures in the wake of her musical success.

Following the release of her sixth album in 2016, Rihanna founded Fenty Beauty in 2017.

Now regarded as one of the best makeup and skincare lines on the market, Fenty Beauty is used by 13% of cosmetics and makeup-users in the United States, according to Statista.

One year later, the Diamonds In The Sky singer founded her second successful business, a lingerie line she called Savage X Fenty.

Kenya Moore’s Ex Wants Her Held in Contempt For Violating Strict Filming Orders

Kenya Moore and Marc Daly with daughter Brooklyn Daly 1200x697

After a tumultuous battle in court, Kenya Moore won the right to film with her daughter Brooklyn on The Real Housewives of Atlanta against the wishes of her estranged husband, Marc Daly..

After the latest episode of RHOA included his daughter present for housewife drama, Marc wants Kenya held in contempt for violating the strict rules for filming with their child.

Radar Online reports:

Kenya Moore’s estranged husband, Marc Daly, has demanded the reality star be found in contempt of court after their daughter, Brooklyn, was present for a RHOA fight, RadarOnline.com has learned.

According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, Marc is furious the 4-year-old was present during filming when RHOA star Marlo Hampton attempted to kick down the door of Kenya’s hotel room, where Brooklyn was sleeping.

Marc and Kenya are in the middle of a bitter divorce war. They are set to face off in a trial later this month.

Before the divorce, Kenya filed a separate case over custody, pleading for primary custody. As part of the case, Marc fought to keep Brooklyn off RHOA.

In the end, the parties agreed Kenya would have sole custody of Brooklyn with Marc having visitation. The judge ruled the minor could appear on RHOA but with restrictions.

The judge said he was “not convinced, and no evidence has been shown, that” Kenya would place Brooklyn in “any environment that might not be in the minor child’s best interest, or may in any way be considered dangerous or inappropriate.”

As part of the court order, the judge ruled that Kenya would have final authority to decide to include Brooklyn on RHOA, or for any other economic opportunities. However, the judge said Kenya was required to discuss the opportunity with Marc. “[Kenya] shall notify [Marc] of any opportunity where the minor child will appear on camera and shall advise [Marc] of the content of the appearance; the minor child will only be involved in opportunities that are age appropriate.”

According to Marc’s newly filed motion, he claims Kenya violated the court order by filming a Home Run Inn Pizza commercial prominently featuring Brooklyn without “any discussion with” him. Marc said he learned of the commercial through the internet.

Further, he said the court order stated, “[Marc] shall be allowed daily telephonic, and/or video visitation with the minor child.”

Marc said he “repeatedly requests calls and Facetime with [Brooklyn], and provides available times” but claims Kenya fails to respond. He said he’s only talked to Brooklyn twice in June and accused Kenya of refusing to “cooperate with in-person visits.”

Marc asked the court to take note of Kenya’s behavior during the divorce trial. He asked that she be ordered to pay his legal fees associated with the recent motion.

Missy Elliott came to the defense of the group Flyana Boss when fans on Twitter called into question the repeated use of a similar format for their music videos. Missy responded by explaining that consistency is part of the marketing strategy for many young artists.

“This old school tactic if you do a bunch of things you confuse the audience,” Missy replied to a viral tweet questioning the repetition. “They don’t know who you are. That’s why most successful artist have eras and for that era they consistently do the same style and sound so you build a particular fan base.”

She followed up by using examples of her own successful career: “Example my 1st album I wore FingerWaves the entire time. My sound was a futuristic vibe even down to the way I danced it was a jerky move. But all the elements established the type of artist I was… you must be consistent when you are a new artist.”

From there, the original account that posted the criticism thanked Missy for her constructive responses. In reply, Missy wrote: “Of course my love we are here to help each other grow and learn… I’m glad you mentioned it because I’m sure others may of thought the same but always remember a wise person ask questions! So you are one with wisdom.”
