Two of our all time favorites, Queen Latifah and Whoopi Goldberg,  have joined forces to curate the “Hip Hop at 50” exhibition, commemorating the 50th anniversary of this influential genre.
The showcase boasts a collection of 50 photographs that vividly trace the evolution of hip-hop from its origins in the Bronx to its current global prominence. The images, handpicked by Queen Latifah and Whoopi Goldberg, not only pay tribute to the genre’s resilient spirit but also reflect the strength of the hip-hop community.

Adorning the gallery walls are the works of renowned photographers, including Danny Clinch, Timothy White, Lynn Goldsmith, Josh Cheuse, Mike Miller and Jonathan Mannion. The curated assemblage also features iconic personalities in hip-hop history, such as Run-DMC, Snoop Dogg, Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre, The Notorious B.I.G., Beastie Boys, Jay-Z, Eminem and the Wu-Tang Clan, among others. Through their camera lenses, these photographers have captured instances of vulnerability, resilience and creativity that have become emblematic of hip-hop’s cultural significance.

“Hip Hop at 50” will run from August 10 to 24, delivering an immersive experience at two locations: the Morrison Hotel Gallery Sunset Marquis in Los Angeles and the Morrison Hotel Gallery in New York City.

And in case you missed it, Moral Turgeman delivers an ode to the not-so-magical nature of mushrooms in “Rooted Signals.”

Nicki Minaj ‘Swatted’ Again After False Claims Of Shooting At Her Home

Screen Shot 2023 07 30 at 12.35.57 PM

Nicki Minaj has reportedly been swatted, again.

Law enforcement arrived to her home in the San Fernando Valley on Saturday afternoon with full sirens and lights blaring, according to TMZ.

The 40-year-old, who appears in the new Call of Duty, was the victim of a bogus 911 call.

Investigators say someone called the emergency number to falsely report a shooting at her mansion in LA’s San Fernando valley.

Screen Shot 2023 07 30 at 12.34.43 PM

Nicki was not happy to have law enforcement at her home once again, according to TMZ.

In June, someone made a false report to child welfare officials claiming that Nicki’s three-year-old son, whom she refers to as Papa Bear publicly, was being abused.

After officers arrived, they visited with the Good Form artist and her husband, Kenneth Petty, 51.

An examination of the child determined he was safe and healthy.

The family was awakened early the next morning, around 3 a.m., after another bogus call was made to 911, reporting a fire at the home.

When firefighters arrived, they found no flames.

It was quickly determined that the couple had been victims of ‘swatting.’

It’s a term law enforcement officials use to describe an act of making a false report in order to get a huge police reaction, that can involve an armed SWAT team.

Making a false 911 call is illegal, and in California, can result in felony or misdemeanor charges, resulting in fines and jail time.

Nicki has said nothing publicly about the swatting attempts.

She is, however, celebrating the success of her Barbie World collaboration with Ice Spice and Aqua for the Barbie movie soundtrack.

The song had the highest streaming day for a rap song on Spotify so far this year with five million listens. 

She has also surpassed 60 million listeners on the streaming service, making her only the 20th artist to do so.

Rage with Fenty: Rihanna Showcases Baby Bump in Rage Against the Machine Crop Top

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. The crop was merged with baggy jeans, with the button open for some extra comfort.

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.

In the picture, Rocky lifts RZA in the sky. She captioned the post “my Bajan boyz.”

35-year-old mogul Rihanna is the first female artist to have ten songs hit one billion streams on Spotify.

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.

Drops mic. Salute to ‘Bad Gal Bili’!

Family of TikToker Arrested In Dubai Pleads For Help From Biden Administration

Screen Shot 2023 07 25 at 9.20.18 AM

A viral TikTok star who was arrested in Dubai for screaming in public faces 2 years in prison, according to family.

Tierra Young Allen, 29, was arrested in Dubai in May for yelling at a rental car agent after she was involved in a fender bender.

Tierra, of Houston, arrived in Dubai in April on holiday with a friend.

She was a passenger in a rental car driven by her friend when the accident occurred. The car was impounded along with Tierra’s belongings.

Tierra said she returned to the rental agency after the accident to pick up her ID, credit card, and other belongings in the vehicle.

However, according to Tierra, the rental car agent asked her for a large amount of money to return her belongings.

According to FOX 26 Houston, as the confrontation grew tense, the man yelled at Tierra and she raised her voice back at him.

Tierra was not aware that females are expressly forbidden from raising their voices at men in Muslim countries.

“She found out she could only receive those items if she paid an undisclosed amount of money,” her mother, Tina Baxter told FOX 26 Houston. “She dealt with a very aggressive individual, a young man there who was screaming at her.”

FOX 26 Houston reported that Houston Community Activist Quanell X addressed Tierra’s predicament, saying:

“She is in jail for one reason and one reason alone, she raised her voice. In that country, a female is not even allowed to raise her voice. If she raises her voice it’s punishable by jail time.”

Tierra is not in jail, but her passport has been confiscated and she is not allowed to leave Dubai until her trial. She faces 2 years in prison for yelling at a man in public.

The popular TikTok influencer, who is known as Sassy Trucker, self-titled herself ‘The first female semi truck driver in Dubai’.

Baxter said she has been working to get her daughter out of Dubai. She has been in touch with President Biden’s Justice Department.

“It’s been very emotional. There are some days I stay up all night crying,” Baxter told KRIV-TV.
