The recently married Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins are delighting in the first days of their lives as newlyweds. Jeezy and Jeannie Mai have finally tied the knot after getting engaged under quarantine, and after sharing intimate photos of their private gathering, Jeannie has given details about her wedding vows. The 42-year-old talk show host wed the Rap mogul at home in their backyard and recently, Mai shared why she decided to toss her vows into their pool after it was all over.

“I can’t find anybody, whether it’s God himself or the Bible, that would be able to say how I feel for Jay,” said Mai. “For Jay, he’s a man of words. He’s an artist, a songwriter, and he knows exactly how to describe what it feels to marry me. We knew right away that we wanted to write our vows. Jay didn’t write down his vows, he spoke them from the heart.”

Mai added that Jeezy “was able to just tell me how he felt and shared with me his feelings right off his heart, right there in front of our close family friends,” but things didn’t flow as easily for her. She penned three pages of vows. “Everybody knows on The Real that I’m long-winded,” she added. “So my vows were on three pages and I read every word to him.”

When she finished, Jeannie decided to throw “them into the pool because they’ve been sealed in his heart forever.” She also told PEOPLE that they decided to keep their ceremony intimate because there was no way to safely pull off the larger celebration they planned with COVID-19 as a remaining concern. Check out photos and video from the Jenkins’ big day.

We now know that Boosie Badazz is a fan of the remix to BRS Kash’s “Throat Baby.” The track is a breakout for the Atlanta artist and after it went viral on TikTok, Kash found himself with a platinum record and global audience that embraced his explicit single. Soon, he was re-upping the hit with a remix that featured artists like DaBaby and City Girls, and while it was well-received by fans, JT’s line went viral.

While Boosie has been enjoying the “Throat Baby (Remix),” he had to give JT her props while also impersonating her in the process. “She say, ‘I like to be f*cked like a slut.’ The rawest line ever!” Boosie said in a clip shared by The Shade Room. “Man she ripped the whole CD. Made the rawest line on the remix. ‘I like to be f*cked like a slut.'” 

BRS Kash took note of Boosie’s video and jumped in the comments. “[Crying laughing emoji] This Man Wild! But She Did Kill It,” he wrote. There’s no word on what JT thinks of Boosie’s impression of her, but we’re sure she’s somewhere having a good laugh. Check out Boosie’s clip below along with the remix to “Throat Baby.”

Like many other entertainers, George Clooney considers himself to be a social justice warrior. The acclaimed actor has lent his voice to a variety of causes but according to Civil Rights attorney Ben Crump, Clooney has been actively involved in efforts relating to the police-involved killing of George Floyd. We’re in the thick of Derek Chauvin’s murder trial and for many, it has been difficult to watch. 

During his recent appearance on The View, Crump revealed that he’s been in regular contact with Clooney who he says wants his wife and three-year-old twins “to live in a better world.” In an email, Crump claims Clooney contested Chauvin’s defense that Floyd died due to drug abuse. “‘Attorney Crump, you should tell them if Derek Chauvin feels so confident in that, he should volunteer during his case, to get down on the floor in that courtroom, and let somebody come and put their knee on his neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds and be able to see if he can survive,'” Clooney penned.

Following Floyd’s death, it was widely publicized that despite opposition from witnesses, Chauvin kneeled on Floyd’s neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. Dave Chappelle even released a poignant politically-driven comedy routine he titled 8:46, however, during the trial, it was revealed that Chauvin actually stayed on Floyd’s neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds.

Entertainment Tonight reportedly confirmed with Clooney’s camp that he sent Crump the email. Watch Attorney Ben Crump’s appearance on The View below.

What began as Diddy drawing attention to corporate America taking advantage of Black professionals and creators has resulted in a social media firestorm. The Rap mogul penned a statement over on his Revolt platform and soon, his article went viral. Immediately, people began reposting and resharing Diddy’s comments in agreeance, but soon, others came forward with their stories that didn’t paint Sean Combs in a favorable light.

“We’re done letting corporations manipulate our culture into believing incremental progress is acceptable action,” Diddy tweeted. “IF YOU LOVE US, PAY US. Here’s my letter to corporate America.” Jessie Woo, who had a stint on Love & Hip Hop, took the opportunity to share her experience. “Diddy, it starts with us. I was recently approached to host a show for Revolt and it came without pay. We cannot keep knocking white folks for their disrespect towards minority creators while doing the same thing to each other. I encourage you to be the change we need.”

People also brought up Diddy being at odds with certain artists about pay or not being allowed to own their masters. Bad Boy artists like Ma$e, B5, and Q Parker from 112 have been vocal about not being given what they believe they are owed. Check out several reactions below.

They’ve known each other for years and have been photographed at events and spending leisurely time together, so it’s unsurprising that Flo Rida and Ashanti’s names have been at the center of gossip. Back in 2019, Ashanti appeared at the rapper’s birthday party in Los Angeles, and last year, he attended her birthday festivities in Antigua. With all the chatter that’s been about these two, it’s surprising that no confirmation or denial has been given regarding their relationship.

The rumor mill kicked up a notch once again after a photo of the two allegedly on vacation began to circulate. Some have argued that because they have been longtime friends, it’s normal for them to spend time together. Both artists have kept their romances close to the chest and aren’t often photographed with partners, nor do they share information about their significant others.

The latest set of vacation pictures come courtesy of Flo Rida who uploaded them over on Instagram. While there were shots that showed him alone with Ashanti, it seems that the vacation was a group affair. Check out a few photos of these two together below.
