The single life is hitting Tyrese Gibson hard and it’s coming in like a wrecking ball. The newly single entertainer and his estranged wife Samantha Gibson announced just ahead of the new year that they were planning to divorce. The actor penned a lengthy caption that suggested he was willing to give his relationship another try, and while he verbalized that he’d hoped he and Samantha could be the love story that withstood the tests of time, alas, they were parting ways. On Friday (February 26), Tyrese took to Instagram to share a few thoughts including his observations on what the single life has to offer.

It seems that since announcing his divorce, Tyrese has been propositioned in various ways in his DMs. “My DM’s are crazy…… This single life ain’t sh*t but it’s entertaining af,” wrote the singer. “I just got invited to a vegan sex party…… what in the entire f are y’all on out here…… left her on READ…. If you see this you are innovative but wtf????? Was I supposed to hit her back and say shoot me the addy? Run that lettuce? Hahahahahaha.”

In the comments, Tyrese also revealed that he rejected a woman’s offer to fly them up the coast in a helicopter because “it wasn’t [his] idea.” He claims that his “ALPHA is a different kind of ALPHA” and he doesn’t like to be pursued or chased. Read through it all below.

It’s unclear what led to Safaree Samuels and Erica Mena going at it on social media days ago, but it looks as if their marriage is in trouble. The pair of reality stars have been boasting about their love for years and even tied the knot on Love & Hip Hop, and their growing family seemed to be set after they moved into their dream home and welcomed their daughter into the world. However, if their recent posts are to be believed, there is trouble brewing in the Samuels household.

Safaree came forward to say that getting married was one of the biggest mistakes he could have made while Erica retorted that her husband is a “vain” and “selfish” person who puts himself before his family. Wendy Williams couldn’t pass up the opportunity to address the controversy while on her show.

“The new Safaree. He looks good though, right? But he loves himself more than anyone else,” said the talk show host. “[Erica] says including their one-year-old daughter. And I believe that. Then, there you go saying, ‘No he’s a really good father, he’s always with her, just look at his Instagram.’ I said, no, no, no, no. That’s called, ‘Take this picture quick ’cause the car will be here in five seconds. Alright, now you go over there and play and daddy’s going out for days. Don’t tell your mother, she’ll read about it on social media.'”

Neither Erica nor Safaree have publicly addressed their recent outbursts, but some have criticized the couple and accused them of arguing for attention. Check out Wendy’s clip below and swipe to read their Twitter exchange.

Every generation of Rap and Hip Hop has it’s sound, and currently, Atlanta’s trap wave is permeating airwaves and playlists. Artists from differing cities have put their spin on things, and the New York Drill hype seems to be creeping into the Top Ten. We regularly hear similar sounding artists vying for attention, and fans believe that Coi Leray is sliding into Dej Loaf’s lane.

On social media, people began drawing comparisons between Leray’s “No More Parties” and Def Loaf’s signature sound. Leray took to Twitter and wrote, “Coi Leray sounds like Coi Leray .” Loaf replied, “Well I sholl wish my folks stop hitting me about it [crying laughing emoji] pissing me and my homegirls off! Congrats tho Coi [balloon emoji].”

Def Loaf later tweeted, “Lil Copy Tail Selves” and reposted messages from Charlie Heat who said people needed to give Dej her flowers. Others mentioned the rapper has “a lot of kids” in the industry, meaning she birth a wave of artists who have taken from her sound. Check out a few posts below and let us know if you think Coi sonically borrowed from Dej Loaf.

She was once shaking tables and antagonizing her co-stars on reality television, but K. Michelle has turned over a new leaf. Over the years, the accomplished singer’s talents have been overshadowed by her controversies—many that were sparked on Love & Hip Hop or her own spin-off series. She’s beefed with artists online and aired out her grievances with other pop culture figures, but as K. Michelle moves forward, she’s putting the petty things behind her. Even when Wendy Williams shaded the singer’s butt implant struggles on her talk show, K. Michelle returned to say that she’s no longer bashing Black women.

For some time, there have been rumors of R&B beef between K. Michelle and Keyshia Cole as, like many others in the industry, the two women were pitted against each other. It seems that the two women have laid their animosity to rest during a Clubhouse session and K. Michelle shared a bit about the interaction on Twitter.

“So last night on clubhouse was a great moment for the culture. Me and @KeyshiaCole squashed any little misunderstandings we had like adults and sang songs together all night. Y’all might even see a joint EP,” wrote Michelle. “I’m just all about positivity and making great music with some great people.”

Fans couldn’t believe they missed the moment, but are happy to hear that the singers were able to make amends. Check out the posts below.

James Harden is an NBA player who is known for his love of strip clubs. The Brooklyn Nets star used to frequent them all the time while he played for the Houston Rockets and these days, he has to suppress his desire to go to one due to COVID-19. Despite this, Harden, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant are all getting the offer of a lifetime as Daryn Parker of CamSoda came out today and penned a letter to the Nets organization.

In the letter which was acquired by Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson of Heavy.com, CamSoda is offering the three stars Elite VIP access to the website during the All-Star break. With this service, they can get in touch with any model on the platform during all hours of the day, and get their own private shows from the comfort of their own hotel room.

Parker also noted that they will be having some strippers from Atlanta get on the platform, which will certainly be up Harden’s alley. The letter states that if one of the Nets stars wins All-Star Game MVP, the whole team will get Elite VIP status for the entire season, which is a pretty good deal if you ask us.

It remains to be seen if the Nets will accept the CamSoda deal, although we doubt any of the players would actually state it publically. Regardless, Harden’s reputation has led to a pretty phenomenal offer that might make his teammates like him even more.

The Law of Attraction is practiced by millions worldwide and BRS Kash counts himself as one of the many who is practicing ways to attract success. The rapper is on the rise now that his “Throat Baby” viral hit has amassed over 50 million streams on YouTube alone, and recently, the Atlanta artist was featured on the cover of Rolling Out magazine. Inside, Kash spoke about using Law of Attraction a decade ago when he first set out with his Rap star dreams, and it so happens that what he wanted materialized.

“I practice the laws of attraction and meditation,” he says. “I’m really heavy into it. [But] what [people] don’t even know is 10 years ago — 2010 — I put my hand on the Bible [and] … I made a fake contract with Interscope, and I put it inside of a book. I still got the contract, and 10 years later to the date, I’m signed to Interscope.”

He explained that in 2015, he faced a tragic setback when his friend and manager was shot and killed. Kash shared that he was in a dark place and took time to grieve before re-entering the industry. “Even though it took me 10 years to get to right here today, I feel like those 10 years kind of prepared me for what’s going on right now,” he said. “I would change, of course, losing my best friend, but anything other than that, I wouldn’t change nothing in this process of where I’m at today.”
