Singer Michel’le caused major concern last week at the Jazz On The Water Festival in Stockton, Calif. 
The 52-year-old R&B singer was performing her hit song “Something In My Heart” when she almost fell while dancing.

The “No More Lies” singer stumbled across the stage causing fans to speculate.

The crowd attempted  to help her out by singing the song’s lyrics bodly. That’s when Michel’le passed the mic to a fan who appeared intoxicated

“No. You was supposed to sing,” Michel’le told the fan.

“I love y’all ’cause I’ve been enjoying myself,” she told the audience.

One TikTok user wrote: “This was hard to watch. My heart breaks for her.”

Another person wrote: “Lol ohh she drunk drunk.”

While a third person wrote: “Why would they allow this to continue?”

Michel’le took to Instagram to assure her fans she was OK.

“I wanna thank everyone of you who was concerned, or have inquired about my well being. I am FINE, and looking forward to my next show. Blessings & love to you all [wink emoji]. #Inevergiveup #yallknowimafighter.”

Screen Shot 2023 08 29 at 9.17.54 PM

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

Subject

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.

Rapper Gunplay’s Wife Reveals He Broke Her Sink And Choked A Child

Screen Shot 2023 08 21 at 12.21.09 PM

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.

Lizzo’s Accusers Signed Up For Another Tour Following The Alleged Events

Screen Shot 2023 08 24 at 11.01.14 AM

Earlier this month three of pop star Lizzo’s former dancers filed a lawsuit against her for sexual harassment. Many of the claims included sordid details about the sometimes  explicit and hostile work environment.

Apparently it turns out all three of them signed up for another tour following the alleged hostile incidents.

The Daily Mail reports:

Crystal Williams, Noelle Rodriguez, and Arianna Davis claim the plus-sized pop icon dragged them along to degrading sex shows while touring Europe in February and March.
The trio claim the raunchy displays left them grappling with emotional distress but within weeks all three had cut new deals with the ‘Truth Hurts’ hitmaker, according to Lizzo’s powerhouse lawyer Marty Singer.
An agent for Davis, 24, and Williams, 26, signed a memorandum of agreement dated April 11 while a rep for 25-year-old Rodriguez confirmed her commitment in an April 4 email, according to paperwork shared exclusively with DailyMail.com.
Attorney-to-the-stars Singer insists that the former dancers’ lawsuit, filed in LA Super
ior Court, is riddled with contradictions and ‘significant’ factual inaccuracies.

‘Even at this early stage of the process, their case has been irreparably damaged,’ the veteran showbiz attorney told us.

Halle Berry Will Pay $8000/Month In Divorce Settlement

Screen Shot 2023 08 24 at 10.56.31 AM

Back in 2015 actress Halle Berry shockingly filed for divorce from her third husband, French actor Olivier Martinez. The beauty currently pays $8,000 a month to her daughter’s father, model Gabriel Aubry.

Now that the divorce is finally settled, Halle has been ordered to pay Olivier $8000/month, too.

Radar Online reports:

Halle Berry has finally finalized her divorce from ex-husband Olivier Martinez and has agreed to pay him $8,000 per month in child support, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Halle and Olivier were married from 2013 until their split in 2016. They share a son named Maceo. The couple’s divorce dragged on for years without a settlement being reached until now.
In the original petition, Halle demanded custody of their son. In addition, she revealed there was a prenuptial agreement signed that she wanted enforced. Olivier fired back demanding joint custody of their son.
In 2016, the two agreed to share physical and legal custody. However, the other outstanding issues were not decided at the time.
In the settlement, obtained by RadarOnline.com, the filing reads, “Halle and Olivier have acknowledged to the other that by entering into a negotiated settlement of all custody and child support issues between them, each has knowingly waived her/his right to a full evidentiary hearing on the merits with respect to those issues.”
The deal states both will continue to share custody of Maceo and consult the other on important life issues. Neither shall enroll their son in any extracurricular activity that interferes with the other’s custodial time, per the deal.
Further, Berry will be allowed to have family therapy with their son and her daughter from another relationship but her new boyfriend Van Hunt will not be allowed to participate in the therapy sessions.
Maceo will continue to study at a private school in Los Angeles which Halle will pay for as long as he’s in private school.
Per the agreement, first obtained by The Blast, Halle will pay her ex a total of $8,000 per month along with 4.3% of any income she receives above $2 million, “as and for additional child support for Maceo.”
Halle will also cover all medi
cal and dental expenses. The actress voluntarily paid the majority of Olivier’s legal fees.
