It’s Coi Leray’s time to shine right now. With the present success of her breakout single “No More Parties”, the 23-year-old New Jersey representative has been operating at her highest level. She’s been generating a lot of buzz as she gears up to release her upcoming debut studio album. Coi recently dropped her long-awaited new single “BIG PURR (Prrdd)” with Pooh Shiesty and has been enlisting the help of world-class twerker Megan Thee Stallion to work on her own skills.

Given Coi’s smaller frame, you would possibly expect a refreshing outlook on the rising rapper from the men that have body-shamed the likes of Megan Thee Stallion (for being tall and curvy), Lizzo (for having fat), and Summer Walker (for having plastic surgery). However, much like how people have acted towards Rico Nasty, Coi Leray is also being body-shamed, despite having a natural body type. This calls into question whether anyone will ever be happy with how female entertainers present themselves. It appears as though even when a woman is as natural as possible, like Coi Leray who has unapologetically stated that she will never change her body despite the criticism, people will still try and bash her.

Coi’s latest video uploads have been met with a lot of criticism as she flaunts her skinny body type, twerking to her new music, and just having a lot of fun. Her comments have been a mess as incels try and tell Coi that she needs a bigger ass and breast enhancement to truly reach that next level in her music career. The response to this has been overwhelming on social media as her name has been trending for the last day on Twitter with fans defending her and her look, calling out how men will never be satisfied with a woman’s body.

Check out what Coi has had to say about this all above and peep some of the most popular fan comments below.

According to the latest reports, Saweetie and Quavo could both end up getting in trouble over the leaked video showing their physical altercation in an elevator, which surfaced earlier this week.

Last week, Quavo and Saweetie announced their high-profile split on social media after Saweetie accused Quavo of cheating on her. As the news was dying down, a video was released showing the two former lovebirds getting into a physical altercation in an apartment complex in North Hollywood. Saweetie seemingly attempts to throw punches at Quavo, which the rapper dodges. Then, he pulls her into an elevator as they struggle with an orange video game console briefcase, knocking her to the ground. Saweetie stays on the ground for over a minute before limping on the way out.

As per the newest report from TMZ, Saweetie and Quavo are both being investigated over their involvement in the altercation. LAPD detectives have seen the video and they want to meet with both of the rappers pictured to get a better understanding of what caused the fight. The situation could reportedly be considered an instance of domestic violence with both parties being in the wrong. Before anyone is charged, the police want to learn more about what led to the tussle in the elevator.

Quavo and Saweetie have both been silent since the video was released, staying off of social media with any commentary on the situation. Many artists, including Boosie Badazz, Trouble, and Bandhunta Izzy, have spoken out in support of Quavo.

Their relationship imploded in real-time for the world to see, but there are some fans who hope that Tamar Braxton and David Adefeso somehow return to one another. Last summer, Tamar was hospitalized following a suicide attempt, and not long after he released, she and her fiancé Adefeso made headlines over an alleged physical altercation. He accused her of domestic violence and she denied his allegations, and soon, the couple put their relationship behind them.

Recently, Tamar tweeted that she would one day meet the man for her, and a fan told Braxton that they wanted to see her back with Adefeso. “Maybe God can fix that,” the person wrote. The reality star replied, “He was cheating with his then assistant now cfo since 2019 Jessica [upset side-eye emoji].. God fixed it.”

Adefeso didn’t appreciate his ex-fiancée publicly accusing him of having an affair, and according to TMZ, he got his attorneys to write up a formal cease and desist letter. Adefeso denies that he cheated with his former assistant and claimed he never stepped out on Braxton. He accused her of “[damaging] his reputation” and wants Braxton to delete her tweet. However, it’s still up and it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.

The end of their relationship was volatile as Adefeso filed for a restraining order against his ex but that was dismissed earlier this month. He has accused the singer of assaulting and threatening to kill him. Tamar denied that she was violent with Adedfeso.

Another tragedy reportedly involving a mass shooting has occurred in California. As America has poised itself for reopening as vaccines become more readily available, the United States has been plagued with an increasing amount of violence. Within the last two weeks, we’ve experienced the Atlanta spa shootings, the Colorado supermarket shooting, three shooting incidents in one evening near the same location in Virginia Beach, and learned of several injuries in a mass shooting in Washington, D.C.

On Wednesday (March 31), reports state that another shooting took place in the city of Orange at a business complex. The investigation is obviously ongoing, but it’s reported that officers descended on the scene after receiving a call about gunfire. The incident was still in motion when officers arrived and a witness who lived in an apartment complex nearby told KTLA News that he heard “seven to ten gunshots within a couple seconds.”

An officer opened fire on the gunman, striking the person, and it’s reported that they are in critical condition. Four people were murdered during the tragic incident, including a child. The age of the youngest victim has not yet been shared. A woman was rushed to the hospital and is stated to be in critical condition.

A witness named Cody Lev claimed that he was at his home near the location when he heard shots, but he stated he “heard a series of gunshots, spaced out by about 40 minutes, before police responded.” The identity of the shooter has not been revealed at the time of this publication. It is also unclear if this is a random mass shooting or if the perpetrator knew his victims.

If we were to believe Michael Rapaport’s screenshot revelation at face value, one would think that Kevin Durant is unhinged. An argument that looks to have started back in December reared its ugly head this week after Rapaport uploaded screenshots of a DM conversation with the NBA star. In it, Durant was upset that Rapaport continued to criticize him publicly, and then, Durant seemed to taunt him over a lawsuit. Insults were slung from Durant as he called for the actor to meet up with him face-to-face, but according to Durant, this is normal for the relationship he has with Rapaport.

A Twitter user wrote that Rapaport was scared of Durant and that’s why he decided to go public with their private conversation. “Me and mike talk CRAZIER than this on the regular and today he’s pissed….My bad mike, damn!!” Durant replied. The baller even slid in Rapaport’s comments. “I WOULD NEVER FIGHT MIKE… THE PORTNOY THING WAS TOO FAR I SEE…..my bad I apologize.”

In a separate comment on the same post, Durant added, “Wow u acting brand new now?? We been talking like this for years and u get serious today. Wowww. Smhhh.” Meanwhile, since calling out his former friend, Rapaport has dedicated his Instagram page to the Brooklyn Nets star. The actor posted a video clip of him and Durant during happier times and in the caption, he added, “A long time ago we used to be friends @easymoneysniper but you let your insecurities ruin it all @deancollins.”
