Yikes! Kylie Jenner upset social media when she showed up wearing a noose necklace to Paris Fashion Week.
The 25-year-old entrpreneur made headlines on Monday for wearing a stuffed lion’s head to the Schiaparelli Haute Couture Spring Summer 2023 runway show.
Now Kylie is back again causing an uproar for wearing a noose necklace after attending the fashion show on Monday.
Paparazzi photos caught Keeping Up With The Kardashian’s star wearing what appeared to be a white gold or platinum noose around her neck.
According to Radar Online, the noose-inspired necklace first appeared in Givenchy’s 2022 spring collection in October 2021.
Social media users accused Kyle of endorsing an item that would is offensive to Black people.
One reddit user wrote: “This woman has black children. This is so disgusting. It’s not ok to just say ‘she probably doesn’t know’ — she needs to know, even if you took out the racial history of a noose, there’s the suicidal side of it. It’s wrong in so many ways.”
Rapper Lil Boosie Badazz‘s 21-year-old daughter Iviona, a.k.a. Poison Ivi, came out on Instagram. Intimately hugged up with her girlfriend, Iviona, an aspiring rapper, captioned the image: “Endlessly in love with you.”
Boosie, 40, went viral in February 2020, when he was criticized for comments he made about Zaya Wade, the then-12-year-old child of retired NBA star Dwyane Wade.
Among theBoosi comments Boosie made to Wade was, “Don’t cut his d*ck off, bruh.” He was also asked to leave a Planet Fitness gym in Georgia after his comments about Zaya went viral.
Boosie was also criticized for his parenting which included hiring a stripper for his minor son. Boosie bragged that he hired his son a “bad bitch” to perform fellatio on him for his birthday and allowed the boy to watch adult videos..
At the time, Boosie said watching pornography was more suitable than allowing children to watch “cartoons with two men kissing.” He later said he was only kidding.
During a recent episode of We Can Do Hard Things podcast, actress Tracee Ellis Ross opened up about being 50, single, and going through perimenopause.
While reflecting on experiencing perimenopause, Ross shared,
“I have, for my entire life, been tethered to a very routine cycle. And I’m very connected to my body, so I would know I’m ovulating. I would have all the feelings of knowing that and all of that is out the window. And I turn 50. And here I am in this open space now, sort of allowing the bubbling up of whatever might be here.”
Perimenopause means “around menopause” and refers to the time when body makes the natural transition to menopause, marking the end of the reproductive years. Perimenopause is also called the menopausal transition. It often begins between the ages of 45 and 55.
The Black-ish star read an excerpt from her journal in which she questioned what it means to be fertile and to come to the end of her reproductive years.
“I can feel my body’s ability to make a child draining out of me. Sometimes I find it hilarious, as if there is a fire sale going on in my uterus, and someone’s in there screaming, ‘All things must go.’ As my body becomes a foreign place to me that doesn’t really feel safe or like home…I don’t know how to manage or control or fight the external binary narrative of the patriarchy that has hunted me and haunted me most of my adult life.”
“Is it my fertility that is leaving me? Is it my womanhood? Or is it really neither? But I have to fight to hold my truth, because I have been programmed so successfully by the water we all swim in, by the water we all are served. And I feel fertile with creativity, full of power, more and more a woman than I’ve ever been. And yet that power that I was told I must use was not used.”
“I say this to people all the time, I’m a wonderful mother. And I’m very mothering. And it’s been hard for me to claim that.”
She later expressed how she feels grateful that she is now able to look at being childless ‘with curiosity instead of heartbreak.’ She explains,“The heartbreak does come up, and I get to hold that gently and lovingly and then say, remind myself, ‘I woke up every morning of my life and I’ve tried to do my best, so I must be where I’m supposed to be.”
“I’ve been single for a very long time. I have had many wonderful ins and outs of things, but no one stuck to the pan. As a result, I get to curate my family, my chosen family around me. And I don’t think I realized the gift of that until I’ve started to get older.”
Is it necessary for a woman to feel obligated to have a child and be married?

The Ex-NFL star said Tupac pulled up in a limousine and picked up Left Eye the night before she set his mansion on fire on June 9, 1994.

Andre, 55, said Left Eye was upset when she arrived home to see the house full of women. He said the women were with his boys, not him.
“We didn’t sweat nothing. We don’t sweat stuff where I’m from,” he said.
He said his homies had already alerted him that she was seeing Tupac on the low. “But it’s all good though. We weren’t sweating. We just turnt up.” Watch the video below

Janet Jackson’s managers are accusing the legendary pop star of non-payment on fees for nearly a quarter million dollars..
According to The Blast:
According to legal documents, obtained by The Blast, the Grammy-winning singer is having legal action taken against her for what her managers are calling “unpaid services.” The lawsuit has been filed against Jackson and several of her companies dating back to 2017. The suit claims Jackson entered into a “business management services agreement” in August of 2017 with David Weise and Associates.
The company describes itself as “the largest business management firm in the country.” They also boast that they are no strangers to working with entertainers and such. “We work alongside the world’s top artists in music, film, and television, as well as athletes, executives, entrepreneurs, and other high achievers, offering a sophisticated range of concierge-style services to meet their lifestyle management needs.”
The company is accusing Jackson of bailing on paying the full amount owed for their involvement in her career. Obviously, Jackson is a big star who could probably pay the debt sooner rather than later. The total allegedly owed is $238,593.88.
