Tommie Lee’s Negative Drug Test Results Don’t Have Social Media Convinced After Recent Arrest

by

The cast of Love & Hip-Hop are obviously all fond of the spotlight, though lately, the headlines surrounding them have been more chaotic than anything else. Erica Mena and Bambi Benson were both arrested last month after getting too rowdy during a night out in Atlanta. Elsewhere, Tommie Lee was arrested on drug charges after authorities discovered what they believed to be cocaine on her person. Regardless of the allegations brought against her, the 39-year-old has insisted that she had epilepsy medication, and not cocaine, in her possession at the time.

“Stop this nonsense. We’re not going to keep trying to run with this very tired story,” Lee told social media followers after being taken into custody in Miami. “It’s not me, will never be. That drug doesn’t fit my aesthetic at all. STOP IT!!” she added while confirming that she would be taking a drug test. Earlier this week the reality star shared her results with the world, happily declaring that she had no coke in her system via Instagram. “The f**king neighbours done stole the results from the motherf**king drug test,” she noted, explaining why it’s taken so long to see how she did.

Tommie Lee Proudly Shares Her Drug Test Results

Regardless of Lee’s receipts, there are still plenty of people doubting her. “Coke leaves [your body] in three days,” one user pointed out. “Congratulations, [you] didn’t do it in three days stink 😂.” Another chimed in, “Good for her, but also bad for her. Sis, you act like that NOT on drugs?”

Elsewhere in @theneighborhoodtalk’s comments, fellow socialite Bobby Lytes spoke out in defence of his friend. “If you know Tommie personally you know that’s the last drug she would ever do! Case closed…”

Trey Songz Sings SZA’s “Snooze,” Social Media Isn’t Feeling It: Watch

by

Unfortunately for Trey Songz and his fans, when the R&B artist makes headlines, they’re not often flattering. The last time we reported on him was in July, at which time he requested his sexual assault case be thrown out amid claims of bribery coming forward. Things have been relatively quiet on his part since then, however, a video of the embattled entertainer covering a SZA song hit the internet earlier this month. While Songz has given us some huge hits in the past, many think that he missed the mark with his edition of “Snooze.”

“I can’t lose when I’m with you,” the 38-year-old sings to the audience with a smile on his face. As they repeat the lyrics back to him, it’s evident that at least a few people in the crowd were feeling Trey’s vocals. On social media, however, the comment section on @theneighborhoodtalk’s post regarding the situation is mostly filled with negativity. “Mary had a little lamb a** ni**a 😂,” one person joked of the “Bottoms Up” hitmaker’s attempt to channel SZA’s vocal acrobatics.

Trey Songz’s SZA Cover Misses the Mark

“Why he tryna sing it like her? Rookie mistake Tremaine. Sing It your way,” another user advised the multi-talent. Many noted that it’s been quite some time since Trey last shared a song of his own with R&B lovers. In 2022 he collaborated with Peter Jackson on “Mountain Valley,” but he hasn’t given us an album since 2020’s Back Home. Arguably his last major hit was 2015’s “Slow Motion,” though some are unsure if he’ll ever have a comeback due to the allegations he’s facing.

On the topic of “Snooze,” SZA recently surprised us by tapping Canadian crooner Justin Bieber to join her in the music video. While the TDE artist shows off plenty of her body in the tantalizing footage, his wife, Hailey, didn’t seem bothered. Rather, she celebrated the collaboration between her two favourite artists. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

PinkyDoll “Light Skin Fishing” Accusations Fly After 2023 Streamy Awards Appearance

by

Usually, when there’s discourse to unravel about someone altering the colour of their skin, it’s due to a white person attempting to take on a more Black persona. Alabama Barker is one person who’s often faced with accusations like this, though the teen continues to let them roll off her back as she moves forward in her hip-hop career. On the other end of the spectrum is PinkyDoll, who caused some serious commotion with her appearance at the 2023 Streamy Awards.

Viewers weren’t expecting to see the NPC content creator take the stage at the annual event, but she happily presented Kai Cenat with his well-deserved trophy. As per usual, PinkyDoll was dressed in her best, though many have noticed that her skin looks significantly darker in the video and photos captured at the Steamys than it does in her other social media posts. Many have confessed that they’ve always thought the Canadian is a “yellow bone,” when in reality, she’s a brown-skinned girl.

PinkyDoll Looks Noticeably Different During First Public Appearance

Some of those chiming in are of the opinion that altering her appearance is intentional on PinkyDoll’s part, perhaps in hopes of attracting a wider audience. “PinkyDoll using colourism to get the bag was an elite game plan,” one Twitter user reflected on Monday (August 28) evening. “Yes yes yes, brown skin so good,” they further joked.

“People been benefitting off blackfishing so I’m not even mad at PinkyDoll for doing the reverse,” someone else wrote in defense of the OnlyFans model. “Stop being colourist then.” Still, there are some who think it’s wrong of the 27-year-old to trick her audience like this.

Keke Palmer’s Tattoo Of Darius Jackson’s Birthday Revealed In Spicy New Photos, Social Media Reacts

by

Since Darius Jackson put her on blast for wearing a sheer Givenchy dress to Usher’s Las Vegas Residency earlier this summer, Keke Palmer has avoided speaking on the status of her relationship. Because they share a months-old son, we knew that the actress and her co-parent would remain a part of each other’s lives no matter if they’re together romantically or not. For some time, it seemed as though they had begun moving on from each other, however, on Palmer’s 30th birthday, the pair went Live on Instagram together to share how they were celebrating as a family unit.

Besides spending time with Jackson and their son, Leodis, the former child star also spent her big day sharing sexy new photos on IG. Since becoming a mother, Keke has been embracing the curvier body she finds herself in, and her birthday felt like the perfect occasion to show it off. After admiring her hourglass figure, some eagle-eyed fans happened to notice that the Chicago native appears to have her baby daddy’s birthday – January 21 – tattooed on her body.

Keke Palmer & Darius Jackson’s Bond Runs Deep

As evidence of how deep Leo’s parent’s bond really runs, fans have been reacting to the realization that Palmer and Jackson may have quietly been together all this time. “Social media was divided over this whole situation and they were over there living their best life 😂,” one person wrote.

“The breakup was in y’all’s heads real bad 😭,” another user chimed in. Elsewhere, others suggested that there was real drama over the Usher situation, but after talking through it, they agreed it would be best to make a bag off of the situation.

Cardi B Takes Us Back To Her Stripper Days With A Throwback Photo

by

There’s something in the air lately that seems to have the world feeling seriously nostalgic. Many of our favourite celebrities have been remembering the “good ole days,” or life before fame, in throwback posts online lately. Nicki Minaj sparked the trend by sharing a video of her 25-year-old self before she became known as the Queen of Rap. Now, Cardi B is reminiscing on what life was like for her before she became a Grammy Award-winning performer.

As you may know, Cardi spent years working at strip clubs in New York prior to her come-up. Her curvaceous body quickly took her to the top of the industry, and even now she loves showing off what moves her dancer body is still capable of when she gets the chance. In a now-deleted tweet earlier this week, the mother of two shared a selfie she captured many moons ago during a night at work. “If you met me in the strip club… Would you still cuff me?” the reality starlet asked.

Cardi B Has an Important Question

In the photo, the 30-year-old wore her long, black hair in tight braids. Her uniform for the evening was a blue, yellow, and silver two-piece set, which kept plenty of emphasis on her busty chest. Cardi’s stomach looked perfectly toned, likely from all the hours she put in working the pole, and her famous, colourful booty tattoo is just barely seen in the corner of her selfie. There were some who questioned why the “Backin’ It Up” artist is asking such questions as a married women, but others were more focused on complimenting Cardi B’s hot bod.

Yet another celebrity who’s been taking us back in time with their photos is Blac Chyna. The former OnlyFans creator showed off what she looked like at age 17 earlier this week, and many followers were quick to compare her to her mother, Tokyo Toni. See the image at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Kanye West’s Twitter Return In The Works As Social Media Expresses Concern For Bianca Censori

by

When Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were publicly navigating their rocky divorce, it seemed as though the “Flashing Lights” artist would never be able to move on from the socialite. As she explored romance with Pete Davidson, her estranged husband engaged in radical displays of affection to win Kardashian back. He eventually changed tactics to unleashing hatred on the new couple, along with anyone else he felt like attacking. After taking some time away from the spotlight, West resurfaced late last year with a new woman, Bianca Censori. The couple’s avant-garde outfits have made them the subject of much discourse, including how controlling the Chicago native is over what his romantic partners wear.

“There are multiple scenes with him throwing out all of the clothes that she said she loved, with her crying saying this was very difficult,” Australian Association of Psychologists director Carly Dober told DailyMail when reflecting on Kimye’s tumultuous marriage. “It is not clear how much of this was dramatized for the cameras and viewers. Still, the fact remains that Kanye and Kim both publicly stated he had very clear ideas of how Kim should be dressing and her style did change throughout the relationship,” she added. Of course, his marriage to Censori is kept far more secretive, so it’s hard to say exactly what she’s feeling. Nevertheless, social media continues to discuss the often sombre expression on her face while out in revealing looks.

Twitter CEO Speaks on Kanye West’s Expected Return to the Platform

Speaking of social media, Twitter/X’s new CEO, Linda Yaccarino spoke about the Yeezy founder’s expected return to the platform after his ban for his aforementioned online antics. “Kanye who hasn’t rejoined the platform yet but is planning to do so will operate within the very specific policies that we have established that we’re clear on and everyone listening on Spaces can access themselves,” she clarified, as per HipHopDX.

“We also have to remember what’s at the core of free expression. You might not agree with what everyone’s saying,” Yaccarino reminded listeners. “We want to make it a healthy debate and discourse but free expression at its core will really only survive when someone you don’t agree with says something you don’t agree with… So deciding certain people are good or bad are not a universal thing.” Do you think that Kanye West’s return to Twitter will result in more chaos for the father of four? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Finesse2tymes’ Son FNG King Performs NSFW Songs On Stage, Social Media Isn’t Feeling It

by

Since his long-awaited release from prison, Finesse2tymes has regularly stirred up controversy. The embattled artist has given us a handful of viral tracks. Still, listeners are having a hard time overlooking the way he chooses to live his life. Not only is the rapper in a polyamorous relationship with several women (which he regularly shows off in salacious photos online), but he also has unconventional parenting methods that have left many worried about the wellbeing of his 10-year-old son, FNG King.

In a video circulating on various blogs today (August 11), Finesse is seen performing with his little one. The child confidently yells out troubling lyrics about disregarding consent during sex. “Take this d**k, b**ch, stop pushing me,” the duo repeatedly yells out as the crowd cheers them on. While those in attendance seemed to be feeling the father-son bonding moment, many internet users are less than impressed. “That’s completely inappropriate to be telling that child to do that and he rapping that mess at the same time smh,” one person vented on Twitter.

“Kids have to be protected and exposing them to certain things at this age is so negligent. And honestly predatory,” another upset user wrote. “It’s ‘mind your own business’ when it comes to this but let a child say that they’re LGBT, they should wait until they’re 18 to decide. Okay,” someone else chimed in, seemingly referencing the debate sparked by Ne-Yo’s thoughts on transgender children earlier this month.

On the other hand, there are those who believe Finesse is doing right by keeping his son out of the streets. “Enjoying life instead of having to worry bout some bs going on stray bullets, wrong crowds, all stuff that go on in the hood. Some people keep they kids off the streets in different ways while y’all need to get y’all!🗣,” one such person expressed.

Drake Concert Attendee Dissed For Using Phone While Standing Feet Away From Rapper

by

For many Drake fans, the opportunity to experience one of his concerts from floor seats would be a dream come true – one that leaves them unable to take their eyes away from the performance unfolding in front of them. That definitely isn’t the case for everyone at his It’s All a Blur tour, even with the astoundingly expensive ticket prices. During a recent show of Champagne Papi’s, a female attendee caught the internet’s attention with the uninterested expression on her face amid the concert.

As the 36-year-old does his best to entertain the thousands watching on, one of those fortunate enough to be just feet away from him couldn’t stop checking her phone. Near the end of the clip she appears to be capturing a video of Drake singing, but still, social media isn’t letting her off easily. “Why she on her phone?” a TikTok user asked after catching the video. “The girl in the back trying hard to be mysterious ✨,” someone else speculated, suggesting that she thought playing nonchalant would attract the performer’s attention her way.

“Y’all getting mad she on her phone not knowing people deal with anxiety differently,” someone else chimed in, giving the anonymous woman some grace. Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen a concert patron go viral this month. Just last week, the woman who threw her 36G bra on stage at Drizzy landed herself a deal with Playboy‘s content-selling service.

Drake recently wrapped up an impressive string of shows in New York City, and he couldn’t help but make an appearance at Starlets Strip Club. Not only did the Canadian leave behind Travis Scott’s UTOPIA briefcase, but he also spoke with Sidetalk NYC about what he looks for in a woman these days.

Usher Serenades Saweetie Amid Keke Palmer Drama, Twitter Reacts

by

Recently, Saweetie attended Usher’s Las Vegas residency. Usher serenaded the “Icy Grl” rapper with his song “There Goes My Baby.” As the performer prompted Saweetie to sing along, however, she refused. She simply shouted “Baby” into the mic, getting social media users talking. Some think it appears as though Saweetie simply didn’t know the song’s lyrics, while others insisted she was attempting to steer clear of replaying the recent Keke Palmer controversy.

“Nope I don’t like the energy,” one Twitter user writes, “She either don’t know the song or just not feeling his performance. SOMETHING.” “They both purposely not making it a huge scene cause of the backlash,” another notes. Others claim that Usher is “on a mission” to disrupt relationships everywhere with his residency.

Saweetie Doesn’t Want To Sing Along

Recently, Keke Palmer attended Usher’s residency, being serenaded herself. She appeared to be living it up, sharing various clips of her enjoying the show on social media. The father of her child, Darius Jackson, wasn’t too happy about Usher’s hands-on performance. He then took to Twitter to shame Palmer for what she was wearing, reminding her that she’s a mother. Jackson received a tremendous amount of backlash for his comments, with many claiming that he was in the wrong for speaking up.

He later responded to the backlash with another Tweet. “We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is,” he wrote. “This is my family & my representation,” he continued, ” “I have standards & morals to what I believe.” Amid the drama, Jackson deleted all of his social media accounts, returning shortly after with Palmer scrubbed from his feed. Fans also noticed that the two no longer follower each other, fueling speculation that the couple might have broken up.

Drake Denies Female Fan’s Photo Request: Video

by

The most obvious benefit that comes from being a celebrity would have to be material gain – other than that, the entertainment industry is rapidly losing its appeal. We’ve seen performers hit by random objects while singing on stage in increasing numbers this year, not to mention the struggle to find authentic connections out of fear that you’re being used for your status. On top of those downfalls, many stars are expected to be “on” 24/7, presenting themselves as their best, camera-ready selves. This obviously isn’t realistic, and thankfully, people like Drake are comfortable setting boundaries with fans.

A few days ago, a video showing the 6ix God out with friends at a food joint surfaced online. He appears to be off-duty, wearing baggy pants and an oversized tee while smiling and laughing with those around him. Seconds into the clip, a young woman bravely taps Drake’s arm, seemingly requesting a photo with him while she waits in line. At the same time, a man approached the 36-year-old with a similar question but he shot them both down before walking out with his entourage.

Drake Doesn’t Have Time for Photos

In the comments on @hip.hopfreestyle’s post, many have been debating the awkward moment. “Dude, he just tryna live. People want to live their life instead of taking pics all day,” one person defended Drake. “At the end of the day, you show support to your fans. They are the reason why you’re rich,” someone else suggested. Even if he skipped out on this photo op, fans who purchase tickets to one of his upcoming concerts will surely have the chance to capture endless snaps of Drizzy.

On his It’s All A Blur Tour, Drake will be bringing hits from albums like Certified Lover Boy, Honestly, Nevermind, and Her Loss to the stage for the first time. Of course, it’s highly likely the Canadian icon will revisit fan favourites from deeper in his discography too. Speaking of which, one of his older LPs, Scorpion, turned five at the end of June. Tap into one of the biggest hits from that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
