This has been a tumultuous week for Amber Rose after she announced that her three-year relationship with Alexander “AE” Edwards had come to an end. In a scathing post about her former beau and the father of her youngest child, Slash, Amber accuses him of cheating on her with at least 12 different women. The model mogul revealed that she saw the exchanges with the women and was appalled that Edwards would put their romance in jeopardy.

Edwards returned hours later with an admission as he confirmed that he had stepped out on his relationship. He stated that Amber still loves him and he could reconcile with her, but he didn’t want to go against his “nature,” adding that he would only be able to give her a “good, solid six months” of fidelity.

There is a glimmer of sunshine in Amber Rose’s cloudy days, as she has confirmed that her Slut Walk event would be making a triumphant return. “My Agent just called me [eyeball emoji] SLUT WALK 2022 is on!!!” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “@livenation Bigger and better than ever! God is good all the time.”

We’re sure details will be revealed in the months to come, but for now, you can check out Amber’s post below.

We’ve been hearing about 50 Cent’s Black Mafia Family series for some time and we’re edging closer to its release. BMF follows the true-life story of Detroit brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory who were reportedly the leaders of the Black Mafia Family that stood accused of money laundering and drug trafficking. 

At the Television Critics Association’s Summer Press Tour that reportedly took place today (August 19), 50 Cent addressed those who claimed that BMF was just another series that glorified gang and drug culture.

“There’s a huge separation between entertainment and reality,” said Fif. “People who don’t differentiate between the two should be in a mental institution because they can’t separate their reality from what they’re watching. When you watch ‘Forensic Files,’ does it make you feel like you should go kill somebody?… You don’t do that.”

The Power executive also clarified that illegal drugs didn’t magically appear in the streets of Detroit. “The CIA was actually letting drugs into these communities and creating higher penalties for people who had crack cocaine, [but not higher penalties] for those people who had the cocaine we see in those Hollywood bathrooms partying… It’s the same drug but different penalties.”

“I understand some people misinterpret things or say, ‘Look, this is another successful drug dealer.’ All of my shows are drug dealer shows,” Fif added. “Even when the person is being wrongfully convicted and thrown in jail for 70 years, like my ABC show, ‘For Life.’ In that time period, that was actually going on culturally all over the place.”

The Rap mogul is sure that BMF will be “successful regardless” and dismissed critics who instead choose to be “judgmental.” Check out the trailer for BMF below and make sure to tune into the premiere on Starz on September 26.

Over the years, we’ve seen fans cross the line when it comes to their interactions with celebrities, and a man is claiming he needs a restraining order against Omar Epps. Back in March, a 36-year-old man who has not been named in reports filed for a restraining order against the Love & Basketball actor. The Blast calls the allegations against Epps “wild” as they include accusations that Epps broke into the man’s jail cell and “sat on his lap while in custody.”

Epps would have ignored this case, however, his attorney believed it was necessary to respond and they both want the petition thrown out. The acclaimed actor has stated that he doesn’t even know his accuser and believes that the man suffers from mental illness.

“(The man) is a complete stranger to me. I have never met him. I have never spoken to him. I have never had any direct or indirect contact with him. I have never previously written about him. I had never even heard of (him) until I was served with his application for a restraining order,” the actor reportedly said.  “I have no intention or desire whatsoever to make contact with, associate with, or communicate with (him) in any way. I am a fairly visible public figure, and mostly known for my work as an actor. I believe (the man) may know of me only because of my professional work.”

The man’s application for a temporary order was reportedly denied, but another hearing is slated for this week. Epps’s attorney reiterated that the actor has no idea who this person is and the “allegations of wrongdoing against Mr. Epps are entirely imagined and categorically false.”

A judge will see to the matter in the coming days, but it is expected for the restraining order petition to be tossed.

He is poising himself as the next R&B-Hip Hop artist to take over the charts, but Yung Bleu’s personal life has hit a snag. The singer has spoken about his current relationship and being happy with his leading lady, but it looks as if the mother of one of his children is unhappy with their arrangement and took to social media to call him out.

In a lengthy post, she accuses Bleu of keeping their son from her during her time of mourning.

“@Bleuvandross you’re a whole ***** and a half. The stunt you’re pulling is absolute CLOWN SH*t!!!!” she wrote. “You see what I’m going through, you know i’m hurting and how i just lost my mom.Why would you refuse to let me get my son so can I hug and hold him for comfort.I have nobody by my side right now and it’s so f*cked up. This man so cold hearted he really hang the phone up in my face after i told him i needed to be close to Corbin.Imagine losing you mom and be treated this way.”

Following her post, the public reportedly sent her some not-so-nice comments, and the woman lamented over the double standard. She said that society is “brainwashed” because “they only feel a type of way whenever the mom keeps the child from the dad.” However, “the mom receives tremendous backlash and called every name in the book.” She didn’t specify their custody arrangement.
