Clearly, Kanye cannot be trusted.
John Legend reached out to his friend, out of love, and Ye threw him up on the Summer Jam screen to be lambasted by the maga crowd.
And folks still wonder why Jay and Bey don't fool with him. He's too reckless.
Cops lie, kids. They lie on "official reports, " they lie about being in fear for their life, they lie about seeing guns, they lie about knees on necks, they lie about folks resisting, they lie to the media, they lie at McDonald's and Shake Shack.
Lissen, Cardi B's name is Belcalis Marlenis Almanza and Offset's name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, they couldn't just name their baby Jennifer.
I'm here for extra spicy, Hogwarts spell-ass names. Welcome to the world, Kulture!

host Jerrod Carmichael makes a dig at Scientology: "Backstage, I found these three Golden Globe awards that Tom Cruise returned...I think maybe we take these three things and exchange them for the safe return of Shelly Miscavige."
On MSNBC, a catholic priest was asked about Jeff Sessions quoting the bible to justify the administration's horrific immigration policy.
The priest: "Even the devil quoted scripture."
R. Kelly's arrest is the culmination of DECADES of work by Black women activists, and the brave victims, who have been demanding justice.
Sending love and light to Kelly's victims. No matter what happens, we stand with you.
Wow. I didn't even know that the person recording

's last agonizing moments was a 17-year-old Black girl.
We must protect her at all costs.
Streaming records and actual, factual physical sales records should be treated differently.
Michael Jackson SOLD over 400 million physical copies. None of these artists are even on the same level as MJ today.
Both John Lewis and C.T. Vivian passed away on the same day.
Both spent their lives fighting to make America a better place. Their lives, and loss, will be felt for generations.
Being so insecure about your girlfriend's career that you rap: "Gotta be payin' good 'cause you keep doin' it/I might just tweet somethin' just to *RUIN* it" is nasty work.
Halle deserves WAY better than this. I hope she knows it.
Twitch streamer DDG shades his girlfriend Halle Bailey over being employed in new song “Famous”:
“Filming a movie now you kissing dudes, You know I love you a lot, I don't give a f*ck if that sh*t for promo.”
Folks have so much to say about this family and all they keep doing is holding each other down. Salute to Jada, Will, and the Smith fam for being Ray Charles to the BS
My family has been on this Worthy journey with me in the making of this book and in the making of my life. Peeling back the curtain and writing about what we have survived together-wasn’t easy. But the beautiful part is it reveals how we gained our resilience and strength from…
"She was struck by police gunfire..."
No. Police shot a 14 year-old girl after opening fire in a store. Please stop with the passive language that only gives cover to police.
LAPD confirms 14 year old girl killed inside Burlington store in North Hollywood. She was struck by police gunfire when they fatally shot assault suspect inside the store. Victim of assault survived. Police confirm suspect had bike lock/chain, did not have a gun.
@CBSLA
David McAtee, a longtime businessman and pillar of the Louisville community was fatally shot by law enforcement officers while protesting police violence.
McAtee, who owned a BBQ business, regularly fed officers in his community for free.
He was 53
This is awful. Two white fireman lied about checking for survivors in house fire in Flint, Michigan & and 2 boys died.
Two Black firefighters actually found them, and now the department is "split" b/c the fire chief fired them, but they were reinstated
To all the "why you gotta make it all about race" people.
@Beyonce
's crest is *literally* symbols of Black power & liberation.
A nubian queen
A black panther
A Black Power fist
A black bee
And on top, a winged sun w/ the eye of Horus in the middle.
SHE TOLD Y'ALL
#Beychella
Not y'all letting Christian Walker rebrand as some sort of champion of women after he spent YEARS being an anti-Black, Right-Wing grifter (who blamed Breonna Taylor for her own murder by police)
Framing this headline (and article) as "Meg not getting help" (like she has beef with them, she doesn't) vs. Black TikTokers are standing up for their cultural and intellectual property is wild.
Kamala and her nieces. She made SURE to bring them out front on stage tonight so they could have this experience (kinda like young Sasha and Malia in 2008). You love to see it.

All these words and not one apology.
Awkwafina could have just said: "You were right. I did use a blaccent to make a name for myself and that was wrong. I wholeheartedly apologize, and I'll do better from now on."
Shout out to Will for pushing Jada to admit she was "in a relationship" with August. She kept trying to call it "an entanglement" and he was basically like, stop bullshitting Jada, "an entanglement??"
#RedTableTalk
The way Kendrick briefly switched into one of Meg's signature flows (around the 2:32 mark) to echo her "fake ass accents" line from "Hiss" to once again question Drake's authenticity (i.e. "can't no accent you can sell me")
Irv is over a 10+ years older than Ashanti. We need to stop acting like it's okay for a 30+ y/o producer/label owner to get involved w/ a 19 y/o singer trying to break into the biz. The power dynamics are not even CLOSE to be equal, & that's before we even talk about Irv's wife
Something about this doesn't seem fair. The film was disqualified because it's mostly in English. Meanwhile, the official language of Nigeria is....English.
I find it SUPER interesting that many are wondering if Michelle Wolf's

monologue was "too harsh" + "divisive" as if Trump didn't tour America calling Mexicans rapists, Muslims terrorists, and communities of color hell.

"We see no reason to celebrate 70 years of the ascension of your grandmother to the British throne b/c her leadership, and that of her predecessors, have perpetuated the greatest human rights tragedy in the history of humankind," read a letter published Sunday.
*gun fingers*
Breaking News: A former detective admitted she had helped mislead a judge into authorizing the raid of Breonna Taylor’s apartment that led to her killing.
The fact that so many women have experienced violence JUST for turning down a man's advances is scary and sad af.
RIP to Samyia Spain. I'm praying for her sister Sanyia, and their family 🙏🏾
After chasing him, the police officer says, "Show me your fkin hands."
Adam Toledo turns around w/ his hands up, and the officer shoots him.
After he shoots him, the officer says, "Look at me, look at me. You alright?"
Adam Toledo died. He was 13.
You cannot reform this.
Chicago is releasing bodycam video of the police killing of
#AdamToledo
, who was a 13-year-old boy.
Police claim there was an "armed confrontation" and shot him in the chest. The mayor says she saw "no evidence whatsoever" that Toledo shot at police.

Wrote about so-called "missing white woman syndrome" back in 2014. Back then, upwards of 40% of missing folks were people of color and yet the media only covered white women like Gabby Petito who disappear. It's worth asking why.
The
#metoo
movement hasn't really touched hip-hop yet, and I've just been waiting for it to happen, because the rap culture is set up...
Kelis' story could open the flood gates for other women who were in relationships w/ your fav rappers to come forward. Be ready
Bruh. BRUH.

I love everything about this clip (including Bron's friends at the end lololol)

Fab is cancelled, and so is anyone in the "why didn't she just leave?" crowd.
Leaving an abusive partner isn't easy, it's extremely dangerous (that's when abuse victims are most likely to be killed), and it often takes a long time.
Sending Emily and her children love 🖤
Jussie Smollett is getting wall to wall news coverage, meanwhile the FBI arrested an actual and factual domestic terrorist. Where's the coverage and panels on that?
Spike Lee shouting out his enslaved ancestors, his grandmother, and all the Africans and Indigenous peoples whose blood and bones built this country is AMAZING.
#Oscars
I thought Black Panther proved this. Or was it Parasite? Or was it Fast & the Furious? Or any number of projects.
Headlines like this make it seem like the tv/film industry don't already know this. They do. They just don't always care.
“Squid Game” proved that shows don’t have to feature an all-white cast to be successful.
The South Korean drama series, which cost Netflix a mere $21 million to produce, is now worth nearly $900 million in impact value.

Hank Aaron was a supporter of Civil Rights and would certainly be against you and the racist laws passed in Georgia.
Keep his name out your mouth, Kelly.
There is A LOT deeply wrong with the U.S. But people fighting over "their money" going to paying off student debt is astounding to me, considering how much of MY money goes to things I vehemently disagree with, like: abusive cops, imperialist wars, subsidizing corporations
While y'all drag Channing Crowder for his Ciara & Russell Willson take, it's also important to point out that his boys — Ryan Clarke and Fred Taylor — pushed back on his take. Fred said "women want peace," while Ryan called out Future's toxicity.
Savannah got a whole beauty shop in her house. She keeps Zhuri's hair looking fly; gave Bronny a blow out, trim, and twists; now she's giving LeBron a shave.
You have to stan a talented Black queen.
Here Charlemagne is operating like a lot of people who don't actually pay attention to politics, but complain that politicians "don't do anything," especially for Black folks. Just because he hasn't heard of something happening, doesn't meant it didn't actually happen 🤷🏾♀️
The thing about the Aziz Ansari allegations, whether they're accurate or not, is that so many of us can relate to a guy trying 50-leven times to convince you to have sex and because you don't explicitly say NO, he keeps trying, despite your discomfort.
