In a recent interview with Helga Davis from Q2 Music, Solange recalled a very offensive conversation which eventually inspired her to write ‘A Seat At The Table.’
It all started with a tweet in which she said that white journalists who write about R&B should know who Brandy was. In turn, she was invited to do a podcast interview with the New York Times, however she says she declined because she “didn’t feel the need to have a debate about something that [she] was culturally a part of” nor did she “feel the need to defend that.” Still, the host of the podcast, Jon Caramanica, who is white, gave his two cents on Solo’s tweet and so did his writer, who is also white. “I went to Solange’s concert and I noted who her audience was, and if I were her, I’d be careful of making these statements because I’d be careful not to bite the hand that feeds me,” he said. To her, these men were saying that Solange’s growing white fan base “had ownership over [her]” and that she needed to shut up. This is what ultimately inspired her to write what man would consider fire for generations to come! Speaking with Helga Davis, Solange said: “That was kind of the turning point in the transition for me writing the album that is now ‘A Seat at the Table.’ I began to think a lot about that conversation and replaying it, and it haunted me. And it haunted my mother to hear someone telling her daughter ‘don’t bite the hand that feeds you.’ And also the racial subtleties—[that] are not so subtle—of what that encompasses when you say that to a black woman. Then you connect it by saying ‘Do you know who’s buying your records?’ So I was essentially being told to shut up.” Considering that Solange snagged a GRAMMY nomination for Best R&B Performance for her song ‘Cranes In The Sky,’ those two guys need to hush. See what a little pressure can do for you, Tea Guest? Turn that hate into some racks. Earlier we reported on a roommate being extremely pissed after they accused Jeezy of canceling a performance in Houston because he allegedly didn’t like the venue.
On top of that, the roommate is alleging that he was paid an extra $30k to stay but refused to. Well Jeezy’s team is saying that he was completely unaware of the booking in the first place. A source tells us, “He was unaware of the booking which was done by a third party booking party. We never signed the contract or received any payment. Please have them visit his twitter/Instagram for his statement. He loves his Houston fans deeply, and just recently did an event with Houston Rockets James harden. He is sorry his fans were taken advantage of, but he is planning an official show for his tour for next year.” "As far as the statement on his Instagram this is what the ATL rapper had to say Me or my team, have no idea or any contracts referring to this situation.. I do apologize to any of my fans and supporters that have been scammed by this faulty (janky) promoter. I have a lot of love and Respect for Houston and will be there soon on my tour???? #TD3" A photo posted by @jeezy on Dec 8, 2016 at 2:07pm PST Well moral of the story, stop trusting these janky promoters A few days ago word got out that the Kardashian sisters are trying to block Blac Chyna from using their last name. While some speculated that this was just another cheap shot from the clan, Kris Jenner is claiming that it was nothing personal just legal business.
According to TMZ, Kris is blaming her daughters’ attorneys for what transpired because they were just following protocol when it came to filing the suit. Apparently, their lawyers were the ones who took the step to file documents as a means to protect their clients. As for now Kris has dropped the suit and maintains that their is no beef between them and Blac Chyna and things may have been lost in translation. Either way the trademark has yet to be approved. Lets chat below! As if Love and Hip Hop isn’t messy enough, new tea we received on certain members of the New York cast will make it a whole lot messier!
This season, Yandy has been in the center of a baby mama drama nightmare. If you remember last season, before turning himself in to do his lengthy prison sentence, Mendeecee had gathered all of the mothers of his children and begged them to stick together for the sake of the kids… well the complete opposite happened. During last night’s episode, Mendeecees’ mother Judy revealed to Yandy that Lil Mendeecees is once again being bounced around from home to home and isn’t being taken care of by his mother, Samantha. Instead, Sam is allegedly pushing Lil Mendeecees off to her mother Kim. Of course when confronted with the new information, Kim and Samantha denied it. Well apparently, the neice of Kim’s ex girlfriend is airing out all of Kim’s dirty laundry on Instagram! Not only is she saying that Sam’s son was in her aunt’s care for the past year, she also alleges that Kim ran off with $10,000 of her aunt’s money. “As I sit and watch Love and Hip Hop tonight and see what Mrs. Judy tells Yandy. I have to now get the truth out! Yes Little Mendeecees was living with my aunt for almost a year, going to school from my aunts house because his mother was busy “working.” Kim and my aunt were a short term couple. My aunt is a very generous person and always ends up getting used smh… Kim Wallace “borrowed” $10,000 from my aunt and never paid her back. After my aunt took care of little Mendeecee buying sneakers, buying his clothes for school, making sure he eats everyday, making sure he gets to school every morning on time ext… Kim used my aunt and then ran off with her money. Not even a thank you for housing her and her grandson. My aunt only had a two bedroom apartment but bought a blow up mattress so Lil Mendee can sleep on! Once the summer came and Samantha and her mother used my aunt for all they could they disappeared… Samantha hasn’t had her son since that boy’s father went to jail! Maybe they will have the decency to pay my aunt back her money. Oh and Samantha can say thank you as well but instead she wants to come on the show to pretend to care about her son! Not going to even hold you they make it sound so good smfh. Only if it were really true!” She then goes on to say , “You toothless CRACKHEAD b*tch who molested your own child and didn’t raise one of your kids!!! B*tch you a f*ckin liar you know damn well my aunt took care of you and your grandson while your daughter was nowhere to be found!! @DaRealMamaKim faking heart attacks for a check you are 50 years old b*tch get a real job with benefits. Collecting social security pretending to be crazy! B*tch you know what it is. Y’all are funny and sounds convincing. Pay my aunt her money you used her for. Send her that game system she brought your grandson Junkie! Yikes!!! And the tea doesn’t end there! A source tells us that Kim allegedly has Lil Mendeecee staying with her at a rehabilitation center where kids aren’t even allowed. They have supposedly been sneaking him in and out at night just so he could have a place to sleep. Lord why can’t they be like Peter and Tara and just be cool for the sake of the kids ????… we know this will get messier. Your Thoughts? Desiigner’ pockets are about to be a little lighter, because he’s being sued for damaging a rented Ferrari back in June. Two of his friends, who have also been named in the lawsuit, allegedly gave the rapper permission to drive the car, however, he crashed it and now the rental company is suing for $500,000!
The 2014 Ferrari is valued at $220k, but they want $500k, because they claim that they’re losing out on as much as $1,599 per day if they were able to rent it. TMZ: “The docs also included a cryptic tweet, supposedly from Desiigner, saying, “If you have a luxury car you better know how to drive.” The rental company thinks it’s a confession, but we checked and the account doesn’t look like it belongs to Desiigner.” A re for Desiigner tells TMZ, “This is the first that Desiigner or his team have heard about this lawsuit. The minute he has had a chance to consult with his attorney, his managers or his attorney will respond.” Y’all waste no time with these memes and apparently no one is safe because y’all hopped on this Nicki Minaj picture like white on rice! Here are some of our favorite ones! Because where did you think you were going with out ME?! This may be one of the most awkward things ever. And then you have to play it off like you were just checking the time and what not! Also me: text them back and ask for a medium pizza while you’re at it TFT does not condone stealing cell phones from house parties–or stealing cell phones at all! Who is responsible for this?! Y’all weren’t satisfied adding words to the picture?! Y’all had to mess with Nicki’s weight!? #NoChill! But did you die?!Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez are back at it again with their up and down, on again off again relationship.
If you remember, just the other day we posted a video of a pregnant Joseline cooking for Stevie, as he expressed that he was “all in” to working things out with her. According to Stevie, Joseline showed up to his house unannounced, and he says that the video was taken right before Joseline allegedly “busted up his face and injured his eyes.” Stevie apparently fears for his life if The Puerto Rican Princess doesn’t get help mentally. TMZ reports that Steebie is asking the court to order a psychological evaluation for Joseline–as well as anger management. He apparently also wants a guardian to be appointed to their unborn child because he fears that Joseline will hurt both him and the baby. We hope these two will definitely be able to work out their differences–for the baby. If you remember, Evelyn is a victim of domestic abuse herself, after she was head-butted by then husband Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson.
Loni Love mentioned Evelyn’s experience with domestic violence and it being highlighted, especially because she’s a public figure. Asking people not to tell her to “get over it,” Evelyn responded saying it’s something that stays with the victim forever. “Its…my heart goes out to the victim and I know people, please don’t tweet me telling me ‘this happened 4 years ago, get over it.’ It’s something that stays with you forever,” she said. “So, my thing, my main concern is, is for the victim.” She then proceeded to give advice to other victims, telling them to love and honor themselves first. “Honor yourself and do the right thing because we all know, if it happens once, it’s going to happen again,” she said. Kudos to Evelyn for being strong enough to revisit those painful memories on television once again. Check your local listings to watch this full episode of The Real on Wednesday, December 7th. Now that Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian have their beautiful baby girl Dream Kardashian, we are waiting for the big wedding day.
However, when Blac Chyna officially becomes a Kardashian, she may not be able to profit off of the name. According to documents that have been obtained by TMZ, Kim, Kourtney and Khloe’s companies are allegedly opposing Blac Chyna’s request to trademark the name, “Angela Renee Kardashian.” Blac Chyna was reportedly looking to lock down the name for social media and entertainment purposes. TMZ reports that in the documents it says that if Chyna trademarks the name, they will allegedly, “suffer damage including irreparable injury to their reputation and goodwill.” The documents reportedly continue to say that Chyna is, “deliberately seeking to profit from the goodwill and popularity,” of the Kardashian name. No one from the Kardashian camp has publicly commented on this matter, so only time will tell. Recently we have seen everyone getting along and starting to form as one big family. You guys are no strangers to the unfortunate falling of a musical dynasty—the split of Lil Wayne and Birdman. They won’t let us forget. If it’s not lawsuit updates, it’s public shade—like Tunechi’s most recent jab at Cash Money at a Syracuse show.
“My name is Tunechi. I’m here on behalf of Yung Mula mother—— baby. F— Cash Money in they ass. Holler Back.” Can’t we all just get along? Better yet, can we get Tha Carter V? Mannie Fresh gave us what is rumored to be a track from the highly anticipated album over the weekend so we’re just wondering if the album will be following soon. Either way it goes, we hope they settle their differences once and for all. |
