Brittany Renner Explains Her New Perspective On Meaningless Sex, Says It Makes Her Want To Puke

by

In the early stages of her career, part of Brittany Renner’s brand was speaking candidly about her sex life. Over the years, she’s been linked to names like Colin Kaepernick, Ben Simmons, Jamal Murray, and James Harden. She also shares a child with PJ Washington, who she began dating when he was 18 and the social media star was 26.

The 30-year-old is no stranger to controversy, though as she gets older, she seems to be unlearning some of her toxic traits. In recent months, rather than bragging about her conquests, the mother of one has been sharing her fresh perspective on intimacy. While it used to be a thoughtless act for her, Renner now finds it challenging to share her body with a man if they haven’t formed a bond between them.

Brittany’s Fresh Perspective on Intimacy

During a recent interview, the influencer recalled what her life was like before. “I gave men my body who didn’t deserve it, and you know, it was what it was. The thought of that now literally makes me want to puke,” she confessed. “I’m okay off of meaningless sex,” Renner added. “I mean, sex without some type of bond, or love, is just exercise at this point.”

She then joked that, because she already has a healthy relationship with her fitness routine, there’s no need for her to get an extra workout in. The comment section on @theneighborhoodtalk proves that many are loving the new leaf Renner has turned over. “I love how transparent and how honest she is,” one person praised the Mississippi native. “Love this growth and glow on her.”

Last December, the entertainer publicly shaded her old roster of hookups in another interview. At the time, Renner called her list of past sexual partners “repulsive,” and admitted that her lack of self-worth is what lead her to be intimate with them. “I did not understand my value that I was born with,” she told YouTuber JustPearlyThings.

“People look at sex differently, but sex is spiritual unification. At the end of the day, I don’t care how you spin it,” the Jackson State alum additionally noted. “And people that I shared my body with — when I think about my list — it’s repulsive. Because they didn’t deserve it. But that was an outcome of me discounting my worth.” Watch Renner’s full interview with Nyla Symone below, and check back later for more pop culture news.

DDG Addresses Rubi Rose Beef On “Way Too Petty,” Claps Back At Halle Bailey Fans Hating

by

The drama continues. If you thought DDG was done addressing the accusations Rubi Rose threw his way earlier this month, you’re wrong. After vehemently denying cheating on his girlfriend, Halle Bailey, the Michigan native has been regularly reminding Twitter precisely what it is that makes him such a great boyfriend. He’s made it clear that he wants to continue his relationship with the R&B starlet, though fans are becoming less and less sure they’re the perfect match.

Previously, the “Elon Musk” artist spoke about the situation in a YouTube vlog, which many viewers saw as a satisfactory explanation. Many also noted that Bailey made a brief appearance in the video, seemingly proving that their union hasn’t been tarnished as many outside spectators assume. Like any creative though, he also had to turn his pain into art, doing so in the form of a new single called “Way Too Petty” that arrived on Friday (February 24).

DDG Thinks Rubi Rose is “Way Too Petty”

Throughout his new track, DDG explicitly calls out Rose for attempting to expose him with screenshots of their alleged DMs. “Hoes screenshotting, that shit lame / Keep her on the side, she could never be my main,” he cooly rhymes. “She just wanna make it, she be f*cked for the fame / Posting pictures naked, baby, you should be ashamed.” Later on in the single, he also addresses his ex’s recent tweet about his current girlfriend wearing her old shirt.

“Tell them n*ggas do they research. I could fall off and come right back like it’s rebirth. Don’t believe the internet, it’s not that bitches t-shirt,” he cautions listeners, telling his side of the story. While her post at the time made it sound as though the Kentucky native had a problem with Bailey, she made it clear at the time that there was no beef between the two women. DDG, on the other hand, she chiefly called a “weirdo” for all of Twitter to see.

Halle Bailey Fans Come to the Rescue, DDG Responds

As the YouTuber continues to air out his drama for all of the internet to see, many of The Little Mermaid actresses’ fans are encouraging her to walk away from the relationship. “Halle get back in that sea and find another fish baby,” one Instagram user joked. “Is he trying to ruin her career?” another asked in wake of DDG’s latest controversial single. He’s clearly gotten wind of the critics and in a since-deleted tweet, he explained to them exactly why Bailey’s still standing beside him.

“‘Why tf she still fw him?’ I got a mean d*ck,” he explicitly wrote, only bringing in further backlash. As one comment on @theneighborhoodtalk’s post points out, “[DDG] is comfortable with [Halle] now and showing them true colours. She needs to run ’cause the red flags are red flagging.” Do you think the “Way Too Petty” song and the rapper’s deleted tweet are strong enough cause for a breakup? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news.

Kehlani Posts Flirty TikTok With New GF Kiara Russell

by

Kehlani’s love life is always a fascinating topic of discussion. For most of her career, she’s dated high-profile stars of both genders. Early on in her career, she had flings with NBA star Kyrie Irving, fellow R&B singer PARTYNEXTDOOR, and rapper YG. Then last year, she dated blossoming alternative singer 070 Shake, though they broke up in late September. Now, her newest boo is another sports figure. In December she subtly revealed that she was in a relationship with Kiara Russell. Russell, who is turning 25 in March, is a former Division I women’s basketball player. Since graduating from Arizona State University, she landed a job as an assistant for UConn women’s team.

While in this new relationship, Kehlani has still stayed busy at work. On Feb. 19, she took to Instagram to announce an upcoming studio album titled SweetSexySavage 2.0. while there is currently no release date or track list for the project, Kehlani declaring it “album time” in her caption means it could be on the way soon. This project would be a sequel to her debut album from 2017 SweetSexySavage. While it’s unclear who else could be included on the album feature-wise, it’s nice to know she is still crafting new music while spending time with her girlfriend.

Kehlani And Kiara’s New Video

r e u n i t e d n it feels so gooooood 😍💍 @kiararuss

♬ Hey Hey – Radio Edit – Polo Frost

When Kehlani and Kiara first revealed their relationship, they did so via a lighthearted TikTok video. So, it only makes sense that they would continue using the app to publicly display their love for each other. On Thursday (Feb. 23), the duo was seen together on the app singing along to a recently popular song. Using Polo Frost’s “Hey Hey” track that samples Train’s “Hey, Soul Sister,” Kehlani and Kiara lip sync the raunchy lyrics. “Accidentally put it in her booty, I was drunk she like, ‘Hey, hey’,” the song goes. The TikTok shows just how much the couple enjoys each other’s company. Making silly videos and showing each other off on social media is a good indicator of a health relationship for the pair.

In a recent interview with Amelia Dimoldenberg on her Chicken Shop Date series, Kehlani said she doesn’t have a type when it comes to dating. “People would say that I have a type, but they haven’t seen everybody that I’ve ever talked to or dated. So I’m actively always fighting that in my head. Like, do I just get on the internet and show them every single person I’ve ever spoken to?” she said. “I’ve got flavors, for real.” While fans may dispute this point from Kehlani, they cannot argue how happy she looks in her new relationship with Kiara. And that is all that matters at the end of the day.

Jaylen Brown Spotted With Bernice Burgos, Sparks Relationship Rumors

by

Jaylen Brown spent the past week on All-Star break. The NBA All-Star weekend from Feb. 17-19 showcased some of the best skills, shooting, and dunks from basketball’s best. Included in that was the NBA All-Star game, which Brown competed in for the second time in his career. Although he had a few sour comments about the competitiveness of the game, he was still honored to be a part of it. This break also gives the NBA players a few days off from competition to rest. But, it seems that JB spent a few of those days with his new boo.

This week, a photo began to surface of Brown cozied up with socialite and influencer Bernice Burgos, Brown (26) and Burgos (42) were spotted together at a possible beach location, which sparks relationship rumors. Neither of the two has been linked to other romances lately. In the past, Burgos has had flings with rappers like T.I., Drake and Quavo, but it now seems she’s moved on to an elite athlete in Brown.

Jaylen And Bernice Spotted Together

On Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14), Burgos posted on Instagram a heartfelt presentation from her mystery partner. At the time, followers didn’t know who her man was, but it now seems to have been Jaylen. Additionally, during All-Star break, Burgos also posted flicks at the beach in swimwear. This would align with the idea that Brown was with her on a tropical vacation. In Feb. 2018, Burgos and Quavo sparked dating rumors when they were seen together at NBA All-Star Weekend. So, it seems that Bernice has developed a pattern for February romances around the All-Star break. While neither side has confirmed a relationship, all the pieces add up for Jaylen Brown and Bernice Burgos to be the last celebrity match.

But, with Burgos being over 15 years older than Brown, users on Twitter have acknowledged and discussed the age gap. One user pointed fun calling Brown a “step-grandfather,” considering Bernice’s 26-year-old daughter Ashley has a daughter of her own. Also, fans pointed out that the entire Boston Celtics team has a roster of attractive patterns. This includes Jayson Tatum reportedly being linked to Ella Mai and former coach Ime Udoke previously dating Nia Long. Check out various tweets regarding Brown and Burgos below.

Slim Jxmmi’s Ex Accuses Him Of Abuse After He Posed In Photos With Sukihana

by

Just when you thought the day would end without any other internet controversy, Slim Jxmmi and Sukihana heated things up. There wasn’t any warning about these two, but they appeared in flirtatious photos together. In one, Sukihana showed off her backside with her leg lifted around the Rae Sremmurd rapper. In another, it looked as if Suki might have been twerking on him, up close and personal. It all looked like a bit of parking structure fun, but the mother of Jxmmi’s child added her voice to the discussion on her Instagram Story.

Jxmmi’s ex Kee has repeatedly accused him of domestic violence. In June 2022, she took to social media with several claims, including that the hitmaker pulled her hair out. She accused him of stepping on her face and physically assaulting her while she was pregnant. After the photos of Sukihana and Jxmmi went viral, Kee returned with similar sentiments.

“Y’all keep sending me this,” Kee wrote on her Story. “They posted it for a reason. this is the most attention he’s gotten since SremmLife 2 and knocking my teeth back.” In another slide, she added, “He’s blocked for a reason. people do not change. had to learn to stop feeling bad and making excuses for how he treats me. I love myself, my son and my PH balance more.”

She added, “I wish them the best thought. this is the attention he needs for Sremm4 [red heart emoji] y’all go get that in April lol.” Suki seemed to catch the posts, and she referenced Kee mentioning having her teeth knocked out. The Florida rapper shared a photo showing her missing front tooth. “Mines already out,” she penned over the image.

Kee Previously Accused Slim Jxmmi Of Being On Drugs

During last year’s revelatory posts, Kee claimed that her ex was both on drugs and withdrawing from them during their relationship. She said people close to them knew of the alleged abuse, including one of their producers. “This is my truth,” she also stated at the time. “Aaquil Brown for years has been emotionally, physically, and mentally abusive to me.” Slim Jxmmi has not responded to this most recent controversy.

Da Brat’s Wife Denies LisaRaye Only Knew Of Pregnancy Via Social Media

by

Da Brat is having a baby! The exciting news spread across social media as the rapper and Jesseca Dupart, confirmed that they were expecting a baby. Unfortunately, the otherwise great news transformed into a messy social media situation involving Da Brat and her sister, LisaRaye McCoy. An old interview clip with LisaRaye McCoy emerged on timelines today where she stated that she only found out about her sister’s pregnancy via social media.

Over the years, Da Brat and LisaRaye haven’t necessarily seen eye-to-eye. So the snippet of information surrounding LisaRaye’s alleged unawareness of her sister’s pregnancy created more of an issue online. However, it wasn’t true and the timing of the video being shared came as LisaRaye mourns the loss of her mother. Dupart addressed the claims in the comment section of TheShadeRoom, where she said the TMZ story that was circulating was from a year prior.

Jesseca Dupart & Raquel Harper Trade Barbs

Raquel Harper explained that she didn’t have a role in the circulation of the recently resurfaced video. “The interview I did with [LisaRaye] is from months ago, not today,” Harper wrote on her Instagram Story. “I only posted because I thought it was from a story today and that my interview was just getting brought back up from something currently.” She explained in a subsequent post that many of her old interviews resurface regularly. “If I am tagged I just post period,” she wrote before denying that she was the person who posted it in the first place. “Once again, I am not the person who posted the story,” she continued. “I was minding my business and seen my name getting tagged so I reposted.”

Still, Dupart wasn’t having it. She slammed Harper for trying to stir the pot. “MORE LIKE A YEAR AGO, last FEBRUARY, she knew exactly what she was doing but she WRECKLESSLY hopped on a trending topic – while Lisa Raye is planning funeral arrangements for her mother …… 100% distasteful,” Dupart wrote. However, Harper said Dupart as lying. “I talk to [LisaRaye] while it was happening asked her what was going on so know what your talking about.”

Ye & Bianca Censori Appear Tense During Rare L.A. Outing

by

Unlike Kim Kardashian, Kanye West appears to be keeping his marriage with Bianca Censori under wraps. The couple quietly tied the knot earlier this year while paparazzi have spotted them out and about on a few occasions. However, it hasn’t been like Ye and Bianca have been on the red carpet circuit heavily, flaunting their romance. The couple has been quite reserved recently, which is undoubtedly a change of pace for the “Runaway” creator who continues to face backlash for anti-semitic remarks he made in 2022.

Despite the relatively private nature of their relationship thus far, they have popped out on a few occasions. For Valentine’s Day, the couple was spotted with Russell Simmons, who Ye previously put on blast for suggesting that he visit a Holocaust museum. Prior to that, Ye took out his wife and his firstborn daughter, North, to a restaurant. However, neither of them have made any public remarks regarding their relationship. 

Ye and Bianca’s Gas Station Pit Stop Appears Tense

The Daily Mail caught a rare glimpse of Ye and Bianca at a gas station this week but things appeared to be tense. The coupled popped into the store where they picked up a few drinks before filling up their tank. However, it appears that there was some tension between them as they were talking. While Censori grabbed the gas nozzle, she looked tense as she talked to her husband. It’s unclear what she may have been tense about but perhaps, it was the paparazzi following them during mundane tasks. 

Ye recently popped into the L.A. County Sheriff’s West Hollywood Station to report harassment from the paparazzi last week. It’s an interesting change of pace for a man who previously got into physical altercation with the media in the past. Apparently, Ye informed the paps to leave him and his family alone but things began to escalate when they refused. However, Kanye didn’t allow it to get physical. Just a month prior, Ye got into an altercation with a woman filming him. After she refused to stop filming him, he grabbed her phone and tossed it into the street.

Jordyn Woods & Karl-Anthony Towns Step Out In Style For Date Night

by

Some thought that the end of her friendship with Kylie Jenner would also mark the finale of Jordyn Woods’ rise to fame. They were clearly wrong, as the socialite’s star has continued to burn brighter and brighter over the years. Not only has she built successful brands for herself, but she’s also been happily in love with NBA player Karl-Anthony Towns for some time now.

They’ve been together as a couple since May 2020, though many years before that were spent getting to know each other as friends. By September 2020 they went Instagram official, and since then, we’ve seen various heartwarming posts come from both Woods and her all-star athlete. Most recently, the former showed off their date night outfits in a sweet photo on her feed.

Love Birds Take The Town

The Life of Kylie alum posted the sweet picture with Towns on Monday (February 20). For his part, the basketball player looked dapper outside of his usual jersey, instead opting for an all-black ensemble. He kept his accessories simple, rocking a gold pinkie ring and a flashy watch to complete his look. Beside him in radiant yellow is Woods, who likely turned heads all evening long in her glamorous gown.

Sporting her hair in a sleek, dark brown bob, the California native followed in her man’s footsteps by layering simple gold jewellery. This photo hides the most breathtaking elements of her dress, though another photo dump on her feed reveals Woods’ toned stomach and curvy figure looking fabulous. It remains unclear where the lovers spent their night, but they were undoubtedly the best dressed in attendance.

Jordyn’s Near-Fashion Faux Pas

♬ original sound – HEIR JORDYN

Her date night outfit may have been on point, but less than a month ago, the model was called out for a serious fashion faux pas. Shortly after the launch of her Woods by Jordyn collection, a TikToker’s negative review of the garments picked up plenty of attention. While some were quick to try to cancel the brunette beauty, she took time to respond to the situation with complete composure.

“There’s always room for constructive criticism and I’m always listening to the consumer to see how I can get better and improve. I will say there is a way to be honest and real without bringing other people down and other influencers into it.” Woods explains in the above video. “Opinions are subjective until you have felt the material and you know, some people are going to love it and some people aren’t going to like it.”

Rihanna & A$AP Rocky’s Wedding Will Take Place In Barbados, Sources Say

by

While couples like Chrisean Rock and Blueface and DDG and Halle Bailey have been through the wringer lately, things have never been better for long-time lovers Rihanna and A$AP Rocky. Neither of them has given us an album in some time. The New Yorker’s Testing landed in 2017 and his girl’s last project, ANTI, came the year before that. What they have given us, however, are plenty of iconic fashion moments, and a baby (with another on the way).

With so much excitement surrounding them, it only makes sense that major rumours are beginning to swirl. According to RadarOnline‘s sources, the Bad Gal hears wedding bells in her future, and her baby daddy is on board. It remains unclear how much truth there is to the gossip. Still, fans are already drooling over the thought of Rihanna in a white designer dress.

Rocky & Rihanna’s Bond Grows Stronger

After welcoming their first child together last May, many could tell that the love Rocky already had for RiRi has only continued to grow. When she announced their second pregnancy during the NFL Halftime show earlier this month, the “Houston Old Head” hitmaker was all smiles. If RO‘s insiders are correct, this won’t be the last time we see the Fenty Beauty founder sporting a baby bump.

“Throwing a wedding and having another baby are Rihanna’s main focus at the moment,” they recently told the outlet. “Luckily, A$AP’s on board, too. She has talked about wanting three or four children in total.” Seeing as she’s already got a little boy on her hands, the “Diamonds” songstress is hoping for a girl this time. As it turns out, she and Rocky have even already chosen a few names.

She’s Always Been His “Fashion Killa”

Of course, the A$AP Mob member and the expecting mother were friends long before their relationship turned romantic. They previously collaborated on his “Fashion Killa” music video years ago. In the time since, they’ve steadily proven that their wardrobes are nothing short of inspiring. Of course, it obviously makes sense then that Rihanna is reportedly planning an “over-the-top” ceremony for her wedding.

Sources say she wants to be surrounded by family and friends in her native country while tying the knot. “She wants it to be in Barbados, a super glam event. But she also wants to be able to run around barefoot,” they dished, also listing potential attendees as Jay-Z, Beyoncé and Adele. Additionally, island food will be served and plenty of live music will keep the vibes high. It remains unclear when (and if) we’ll see Rihanna walk down the aisle to A$AP Rocky anytime soon, but we’ll surely keep you posted with any updates.
