ScarLip’s Boyfriend Criticized For Saying She Only Looks Pretty “Sometimes”
Emerging Bronx rapper ScarLip is facing calls from her fans to break up with her boyfriend after a recent Instagram Live stream. The rapper, 23, asked her boyfriend if he thought she was pretty. “You’re beautiful,” he said, before adding “sometimes.”
ScarLip’s facial expression immediately changed as she asked, “What that mean?” He then answers, “It means sometimes, sometimes you pretty…” She asked if she looked pretty at the time. “No, not right now. Definitely not right now. Definitely not, you lookin’ a little…” He decided against finishing the thought, but not before Scar looked embarrassed by what her boyfriend said. After a long pause, Scar decided to end the livestream. “I’mma get out of here, ya’ll. I don’t feel like going live no more.” She asked again if he thought she looked pretty, and he doubled down on “sometimes.” At that point, she ended the stream.

Social Media Criticizes ScarLip’s Boyfriend For Insensitive Response
Fans admonished ScarLip’s boyfriend for making those comments, with the most-liked replies pointing to the fact that she was live and that she has pre-existing insecurities. Some called for the two to break up. She took to X to defend her relationship, saying that they were “growing strong.” When ScarLip was younger, people bullied her for having darker skin. She continues to experience colorism’s effects in her music career. “People telling me I’m not pretty, and that bothers me a little bit. ‘Cause I believe I’m beautiful,” said Scar earlier this year on a different Instagram live stream. “You want me to feel bad about me or something? To tell me those things. I’m Black. Yes, I sure am Black. Actually, very Black. But that doesn’t take away my beauty.”
Professionally, ScarLip has had a strong year. XXL chose her to be part of their 2024 Freshman Class. She’s released several tracks. A song of hers appeared on the soundtrack for Bad Boys: Ride or Die. The Swizz Beats protégé should be happy with how her career is developing. Hopefully, she has a similarly positive development in her personal relationship.

Travis Scott Goes Off On “Weird” Paparazzi For Following Him In Paris
It’s no secret that as one of the biggest hip-hop artists out right now, Travis Scott attracts attention wherever he goes. This is to be expected considering his status, but evidently, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t get annoying sometimes. Earlier this week, for example, the hitmaker was spotted leaving a late-night studio session in Paris. Paparazzi proceeded to follow him, prompting Scott to exit his vehicle to confront them.
“This has to be the weirdest amount of people I’ve ever met in my life,” he said. “Go to sleep. How old are you? […] Y’all [are] too grown for this. Go get something. Catch a vibe.” Scott didn’t stop there, however. He went on to encourage the men to do something better with their time instead of following him around all night.

Travis Scott Tells Paparazzi To Leave Him Alone
“Now, from here, go do something other than follow me. Go to the park. Go to the movies, get some grass, get some sun, go find a girl, [or] get some ice cream! Enjoy yourself. I just made some beautiful music,” he said. “You’re 16. You’re 14. Y’all n***as weird as hell.” After that, Scott was on his way, though it’s unclear whether or not the paparazzi ever left him alone. This isn’t the first uncomfortable fan interaction Scott’s had recently, however.
Earlier this week, a young fan in France approached him to ask for a photo, but likely left with his feelings hurt. “Don’t touch me,” he told the boy, pushing his arm away. The moment earned Scott some backlash from social media users, who thought he was rude to the fan. Kid Capri even put him on blast, urging him to humble himself. What do you think of Travis Scott calling out paparazzi in Paris for following him all night? Can you blame him?

Bambi Almost Throws Hands On “Love & Hip Hop” After Intense Bickering With Amy Luciani
Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta is having quite the hectic season so far, with a particularly viral moment leading the spicy and salacious charge. Moreover, Bambi and Amy Luciani recently experienced a very heated argument on the show, as Luciani initially called Bambi “fake” and sparked a spat. The insults and back-and-forths are pretty par the course if you’re a fan of the show, and while things didn’t turn violent or physical, they certainly threatened to take it there. What’s more is that Amy even brought up all the drama around Bambi and Lil Scrappy, which definitely doesn’t bode well for the rest of the season as far as amicability goes.
While folks thought that they reunited following their messy split, Bambi and Lil Scrappy took to Instagram Live to explain their current status. Most importantly, they clarified that they still maintain a healthy coparenting relationship when it comes to their three children: Xylo, Breland, and Cali. In addition, they also made it clear that they will stay on L&HH: Atlanta after ten-plus years of tenure, and even joked about how they didn’t care about how MTV wanted them to progress their relationship. As such, it seems like they’re on pretty good terms right now, although it’s clearly still not safe from Amy Luciani’s jabs.

Regardless, this follows a lot of animosity in the past, such as Lil Scrappy accusing Bambi of not really treating him seriously as a partner when it comes to her fidelity and consideration. “What I’m not finna do though is let a motherf***er make me an option,” he ranted on Instagram Live. “I did that when I was married, I did that before I was married, I did that even after I was married for a little bit until I went crazy. I really went crazy and lost my mind. But I’m learning that I already know what I want.
“I want somebody that’s gonna take accountability,” Lil Scrappy said about the Bambi situation. “That’s knowledgeable about life, God… With or without kids already.” We’ll see whether or not Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta‘s new season contains any more fiery reflections on this story, and who will nearly throw hands next.

Travis Scott’s Disorderly Intoxication Charge Gets Dropped After Miami Arrest
In June of this year, Travis Scott’s trip to Miami took an unexpected turn. He was arrested for alleged disorderly intoxication and trespassing. The arrest stemmed from a minor disagreement on a yacht, and he was released within hours. Reportedly, officers had asked him to leave the scene but took him into custody when he returned to gather some forgotten belongings.
Scott had a hearing this morning, which he did not attend, where his team received both good and bad news. The state of Florida has decided to move forward with a misdemeanor trespassing charge against the performer. He’s scheduled to go to trial on September 10.

On the bright side, prosecutors dropped the disorderly intoxication charge. While he’s not completely off the hook in this case, Scott is one step closer to getting it resolved for good. This is surely a relief for the hitmaker, who’s already had a pretty busy month. Aside from collaborating with Afrobeats singer Asake, seemingly getting dissed by Killer Mike, and more, Scott also teased something exciting with Playboi Carti yesterday.
The two of them are scheduled to perform together at ComplexCon in November. Billed OOCactus, the duo also unveiled a snippet of a brand new track they have on the way, which does not yet have a release date. Regardless, fans can’t wait to hear what’s to come or to see them grace the stage together later this year. What do you think of Travis Scott’s disorderly conduct charge getting dropped today after his June arrest? What about the state of Florida moving forward with a misdemeanor trespassing charge against him? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Kid Capri Calls Out Travis Scott Over This Odd Fan Interaction
Travis Scott has one of the most die-hard fanbases in all of hip-hop, and if we’re being honest, across the entire music industry right now. Not only has he cemented this legacy through his music, but also through the cult of personality generated by his fashion forays, brand partnerships, and celebrity lifestyle. But this bubble can shield superstars from their strongest supporters, resulting in often contentious and dismissive fan interactions. For example, the iconic DJ Kid Capri recently called the “Active” MC for pushing a fan away who wanted an autograph. In a Wednesday (August 7) video, a young fan in France asked him for a picture and he pushed the boy’s arm away from him and said, “Don’t touch me.”
“Ayo, Travis Scott, when did we start being disrespectful to kids, bruh?” Kid Capri relayed online. “Little kid asked you for an autograph, [you] pushed his hand away, looked at him like he was the devil and just walked away from him. At one time, you would’ve wanted somebody to ask you for an autograph or ask you for a picture or whatever it is he asked you for.

Travis Scott’s Debated-Over Fan Interaction
“Celebs get where they get and then they forget,” Kid Capri continued concerning Travis Scott. “Dawg, like, ten people died at one of your concerts. I would try to be as humble as possible. I’m not saying it’s your fault, but I would try to be as humble as possible when it comes to the fans, bruh. They lift you up. This ain’t the first time I seen you do some s**t that was funny style. It’s a little kid, bruh, and it pisses me off to see that ’cause I come from signing every autograph, taking every picture, doing video drops for people. We would’ve wished people asked us for that when we wasn’t on.
Kid Capri’s Response
“I’m not at your level, but I’m at Kid Capri level and I respect the fans,” he concluded his message for Travis Scott. “That right there was crazy. I’m not saying you got to sign everybody’s thing or do what everybody say, but when it comes to little kids, they look at you as a superhero, bruh. That s**t right there was super, super corny.”

Fat Joe Being Awarded Key To New York City — But Says ‘Everybody Was Upset’
Chris Brown Fans Defend Victoria Monet After Backlash For Attending His Show
Whenever a celebrity shouts out or supports Chris Brown publicly, some fan backlash is sure to follow. We saw this example recently with Kehlani’s selfie with him given his abusive history, as fans dragged her for implicitly ignoring this stain on his career. But it’s also clear that these confirmed incidents (albeit with some subsequent allegations) happened long ago, and that both Breezy and his fanbase want to move on past these blemishes. For example, his die-hards recently blasted the haters for attacking Victoria Monét, who recently attended one of his shows. Regardless of where you fall on that spectrum, it’s clear that the conflict occurs between fans and detractors, not between the Virginia native and his relationships with other artists.
As such, it’s important to understand that the stardom of Chris Brown is a pretty unmovable object, and fan backlash is not quite the unstoppable force that they want it to be, for better or worse. Perhaps it would be more useful for fans to simply not engage with him online rather than demand others to drag him, and for hardcore supporters to understand and validate why people can’t rock with him like they do. After all, there is a lot more controversy to deal with, such as recent lawsuits over alleged backstage brawls. Yet prevailing narratives from over a decade ago continue to muddy more present and actionable issues at this point.
Victoria Monet Attends Chris Brown Show: See Replies For Defenses & Detractors
Nevertheless, we doubt that this controversy over Chris Brown will ever truly end, and fans will simply have to be steadfast in their belief. Elsewhere, his collaborator Lo’s murder case might develop in a more speedy fashion soon, as authorities captured his alleged murderer after being on the most wanted list. “I commend the men and women of the Marshals Service and our partners for the capture of Deshawn Davis,” U.S. Marshals Service Director Ronald L. Davis stated. “It is our hope that this apprehension brings justice to his victims and safety to the community.”
Meanwhile, this celebrity-supported backlash isn’t the only hot controversy that Chris Brown is dealing with. Alleged footage surfaced of him dancing on Diddy’s 50-foot bed. Their presumed bond has many wondering whether there’s any overlap when it comes to the Bad Boy mogul’s extensive list of allegations. We’ll see what happens, but it certainly isn’t a pretty look.
