Drake Disses Chris Brown Again, This Ish Is Getting Old!


Drake and Chris Brown are at it again. Quite frankly ya'll I'm sick of it. Drake was interviewed by Rap Radar’s Elliott Wilson over at East Village Radio. He was interviewed on a number of topics. But you and I know they zeroed in on Chris Brown, Rihanna, and other idiotic topics. Here's the interview Via NecoleBitchie.com:
On why he doesn’t do a lot of media:
Media, it’s just all entrapment. I’m not in the entrapment game. I came up here today because we actually have rapport, we’re friends, and you’ve always shown me respect but everything else is entrapment. People just go up to radio, start talking too much and make mistakes.
On Chris Brown
For any media outlet that listens to this interview, don’t ask me sh-t about that man when I come up there. Leave that man alone and stop preying on his insecurities man. His insecurities are the fact that I make better music than him, that I’m more popping than him, and that at one point in life ,the woman that he loves fell into my lap and I did what a real n-gga would do and treated her with respect. So she’s not out there talking down on me. All of those things combined creates a n-gga that comes up to your radio station and is just gonna do dumb sh-t. But it shouldn’t be about tearing that man down, it shouldn’t be about wanting to see me and him tear each other down. We have an issue and it’s either gonna drag out, or maybe in ten years we’ll laugh about it over drinks, but let us solve that sh-t. It’s not me and Kendrick [Lamar], it’s not me and Hov, you’re not gonna get anything out of it. I don’t wanna hear that man rap, you know what I’m saying? Nobody wants to hear me rap against him, you’re not even going to get anything out of it. I just urge media to leave that sh-t alone.
What do people wanna see from it? You don’t wanna see two black men tearing each other down. I understand when it’s entertaining, when you feel that you might get some music out of it, but at the end of the day, nothing good can come of that situation, just leave that sh-t alone. That’s part of the reason why I don’t go up to radio. Sit up there and talk, talk, talk, I don’t wanna talk. People talk themselves into a mess. Playing my beat when he comes up there and try to get him to rap, c’mon man! That sh-t is like terrible.
I feel for him too. Every interview he does, they talk about me. It is what it is. I’m focused on this album and everything else that’s going on. I’m not thinking about that man…or that girl.
On being involved in beef and gossip
If it’s anything to do with me, if I ain’t say it [out of my mouth], chances are [I didn't say it].  Their job is to create stories. It’s not like I’m in some anti-media space. I just hate when it fuels people’s days. Get out of the house. F-ck all that bullsh-t.  At the end of the day, we are just two guys and a girl. We are regular people too. You shouldn’t care that much.
On taking responsibility for his rhymes
Just realizing that when I get in that booth, not only is the microphone on, but the microphone is on. The world is listening. I think the situation the other day with the Rocko song is a wake up call for all of us. Rap is important. The world is listening. It’s a wake up call. If you are going to say something that is going to put you at risk, make sure it’s a message worth fighting for. Not to scrutinize Rick Ross, I know him very well, that’s my guy, by all means I don’t mean to speak on another man’s situation, but just for me, it clicked, like “Wow!” And watching [Tu]pac, he felt like that message was worth fighting for. In this day and age, he would have lost corporate sponsorships and he would have lost money, but he thought that message was worth fighting for.
On why he doesn’t do a lot of endorsement deals
We love saying “No.” That’s why we are still here and we are still exciting. Preserving the brand and not just jumping out there doing every single thing that’s offered to me for a million dollars. To me a million dollars isn’t worth the mystique that I still possess when I drop a record. I don’t want to be in your face all of the time doing bubble gum ads and ads for trash bags. I’m not just going to take the first million dollar check that you give me. I’ll make a million dollars somewhere else to preserve the integrity that I still have.
On if he and The Weeknd parted ways
I mean, not necessarily. OVO was OVO and will always be OVO. All we did was embrace someone that we felt was extremely talented from our city and instead of hating on it and rejecting it, we completely embraced it and that was a big part of why it is where it is now. I mean, people make their own decisions. He went on to do something that he felt was a great decision and more power to him. I talk to him all of the time and I look forward to what he has coming in the future. I wouldn’t call it a parting of ways, I just think people reach a point when they need to make decisions and whatever decisions they make, that’s on him. OVO was always three letters and it will always stay like that.
Listen to the interview for yourself!





_______________________________________________________________________________


Well let me just say this: this feud between ya'll is dumb and idiotic. Ya'll have been arguing about the same ish for YEARS! That gets tiring after a while. I'm a need for ya'll to just L.I.G. it. Cause seriously reading about this is so old and over with. Rihanna is obviously not phased and ya'll are arguing over pride. Nothing about this situation is prideful and every time ya'll argue about this it doesn't do anything but feed into the media that BOTH of ya'll hate.


Question: Do I think Drake's music is much better than Chris Brown's music? Eh...not so much. If your comparing the singing then answer is no. Chris Brown is a much better singer than Drake. Drake can skate by on his minimal singing but he ain't no singer. Lyrically their both in the same boat. Drake ain't no Jay-Z or Biggie and Chris Brown ain't no Tupac or Easy E..PERIOD

On a Real Talk Moment, comparing their music is like apples and oranges. They cannot be compared because each has its own little niche that makes them stand alone and unique. You never heard of Gap Band arguing with Frankie Beverly and Maze over a woman. Or the Ohio Players fighting with O'Jays. They did their thing regardless of their fellow peers and competition. The ignorance that is being exuded is amazing. 

Chris Brown hasn't said one bad thing about Drake recently (besides rapping over Drake beat in a recent radio interview). He's been interviewed countless times and he's been very mature about the situation. I can't say the same thing about Drake. Obviously he is still raw about the situation and I wish he and the rest of the world would just Let It GO! Seriously he's not even with Rihanna anymore and from the reports neither is Chris Brown. All this over a effing woman?! Half of ya'll industry dudes are passing around women like a bad cold. 

Drake accused Chris Brown of being insecure, SERIOUSLY? Who's still taking jabs? Why can't you take the high road? Compliment the man on his new single and give him a good luck on his future endeavors. Tell him I'm an adult and I harbor no hard feelings toward you. 

Well this my first and last time talking about this subject. I'm so done with this whole BEEF. 


Message to Mr. Brown & Mr. Drake


Please GROW UP! If you haven't already! This negativity will do nothing but bring you down in the end. While your constantly hating on the other person they're sleeping at night. Honestly its not a good look and no respective woman wants to be a with a weak ass man who is constantly talking about how much better his work is. Your arrogance is not attractive its a major turn off. Please practice humility. #andimthrough

Tyrese is Putting All Us Fatties on Notice!

Apparently Tyrese knows the key to losing weight! Its no special potion or magic wand that people can wave to make it disappear. Unfortunately it takes dedication, hard work, and strong will, to those of us who are lazy those are daggers in our heart LMAO. Tyrese had some pretty strong statements about people who are fat and consistently complain about it. Here's what he said: 



"If you are fat and nasty and you don’t like the way you look, do something about it. It’s simple," said the well-sculpted actor, adding in detail:

"When you take a shower and you put your fat, nasty body in the shower and by the time you get out, the mirrors are all steamed up so you don’t look at what you did to yourself.
"That may sound offensive or insensitive but ultimately, you are big as hell because you have earned that s-it. You worked your ass off to eat everything in sight to get big as hell.
"If you got a problem with the way you look, then you need to do something about it. Excuses sound best to the people that’s making them up."

See more at: http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2013/04/tyrese-blasts-fat-people-its-your-fault/#sthash.p4FOon9F.dpuf


The question everyone is asking is: Was he out of line for what he said? Are you offended? The answer is No. Surprisingly I am not offended. In a sense he is very right. In my case I have gained weight and I have tried to lose it in many ways. I am lazy though and idiotically enough I expect miracles after one day of exercising. I understand that it is my fault why I am the way that I am. I don't blame anyone but myself. 

Could it have been said better? Yea I'm sure it could have. I'm not going to lie it hurt me. It stung a little bit when I read it. I'm guessing he's just tired of hearing the complaints from everyone about their weight. Many people don't understand that the issue is not always over eating. People always associate obesity = overeating. Not so. 

Listen as long as he meant no malice in what he was saying I'm not mad at him. He feels strong about it and that's okay. 



But listen to me when I say this: I will not lose weight just to appease you or anyone else. I'm not saying I'm going to kill myself because I want to make a point either. I'm simply saying that I am not trying to make you happy with my looks and body. You can either not look or simply deal. Oh and another thing. The weight will not come off in a day. So if I eat right and exercise yet your still running your mouth about my weight don't get upset when I run down your flaws. Or if you piss me off enough you might get knocked the HELL OUT! #imjustsayin #andimthrough

Omarosa is being Investigated? Why? Because of Michael Clark Duncan's Altered Will!


Source: WENN via Madamenoire.com

So Omarosa is being investigated for the drastic change in Michael Clark Duncan's will just months before he died. When Omarosa appeared on the Wendy Wiliams Show last month she was asked by Wendy if she was left anything in the will. Omarosa replied
“Let me just tell you that Michael was just the most incredible, generous soul and probably the most shocking aspect of this is that he did want to make sure that I was cared for, very, very well.”
Well Michael's sister Judy is implying that Omarosa isn't as "shocked" as she's letting on. According to TMZ, Judy Duncan hired a lawyer and is investigating the change in the will that occured in April, a couple months prior to his death. The big change was that Omarosa was named the main beneficiary in will. Judy goes on to explain that she thinks her brother was not fully coherent to understand the decision that he was making. She goes on to further explain that his speech was slurred and he had been stumbling.
Omarosa says otherwise. Here’s her statement to TMZ, “I don’t control the estate or the finances and Judy knows it. If you saw all of her emails and texts to me you would see that she is just trying to get money from me, and threatened going to press if I did not give it to her and that is a crime!” she told TMZ.
OMG! Then Judy revealed that Omarosa sold a lot of Michael's belongings including his cars, watches, awards, The Godfather Memorabilia, and his director's chair from The Green Mile. She did this without informing his family. Very distasteful!




 I have NEVER been a fan of Omarosa. But I never knew or thought she was really how she portrayed herself. I always thought she just loved the spotlight and did everything she could to be in it! But with the stories that are being told about her, I believe it. If these stories that Claudia Jordan, LaToya Jackson, and Judy Duncan are saying is true then I would have to say that Omarosa is probably one of the most disgusting people I've ever seen in my life. A man is dying and instead of caring for him and loving him, you decide this is your opportunity to get everything you think you deserve.

I'm severely angry and this isn't even my family. I hope and pray that this is not true and that she is just misunderstood or something like that. Cause if it is she'll be the most hated woman in america. She's earned that moniker once before when she was on the Apprentice the first time. But I again I hope this is not true. I hope Omarosa is better than this.

Janelle Monae Graces the Cover of ESSENCE Magazine!


Janelle Monae is an R&B/Soul/Pop artist that has been praised for her coiffed pompadour (which is traditionally a mans hairstyle) and her various tuxedo's which she wears at every event and every time she is in the public eye. Janelle Monae looks awesome on this cover. She doesn't make herself into some type of sex symbol. She's using classic timeless looks from both genders and creating a look of her own that works for her. 


Some people are tired of seeing her tuxedo look but I'm not. I think she can spin that look into different versions if she just added a pop of color or wore a pencil skirt instead of a pair of slacks. Just a suggestion for me (which below I found a photo of that small pop of color I was suggesting earlier, she's light years ahead of me lol). I hope Janelle keeps on pushing with recently being named a spokes model for CoverGirl she's moving right along in Hollywood but doing it her terms!

According to MadameNoire.com Janelle has a particular message she's been trying to get out:


“People don’t ask Jay-Z to take his shirt off when he rhymes…I like skirts and dresses just like everyone else, but I had a message I needed to put out there. It was up to me to show people and young girls there was another way.”

Here's a snippet from the article available via FashionBombDaily.com of the Essence Interview:
"redefine what it means to be sexy and what it means to be a woman. Showing my skin is not what makes me sexy. I like skirts and dresses just like everyone else, but I had a message I needed to put out there. It was up to me to show people and young girls there was another way."
As I mentioned before Janelle is doing BIG things with her career her new album Electric Lady is coming out soon and she of course has her CoverGirl contract. She's graced the covers of other magazine's as well ELLE, Honey, JET, PRIDE, jones, RollingStones, north, BLURT and etc. The Huffington Post covered her CoverGirl announcement and how she felt about being considered a beauty icon. 

She had some really great and inspiring things to say and I wanted to share it with you guys:
What’s the best beauty advice you’ve ever been given?
"You are only as beautiful as the many beautiful things you do for others without expectation."
We were so excited to hear that you were tapped to join CoverGirl's crew of beauties. How do you plan on inspiring your fans through your specific CoverGirl ads/commercials? 
"I truly want to help redefine what it means to be a strong and beautiful woman in the music and fashion worlds. I'd love to encourage all women to embrace the wonderful things that make us unique. Becoming a CoverGirl is truly a gift--it opens up a new platform for me to inspire women to feel stronger, braver and more beautiful inside and out. I want everyone woman to know in her heart that she is already a CoverGirl."
Being a woman of color, does the role hold special significance?"Absolutely, I want every woman of color, women everywhere, to know we are all CoverGirls and to feel even more proud, more fearless, and more beautiful inside and out!"

Update on RHOA Divorce: Porsha Fires Back!



This divorce between Kordell and Porsha is getting worse. Porsha is fighting back and she's gut punching that fool! She filed papers in court to get the house and alimony. Kordell had already filed a document with his divorce documents, in court saying that she was able bodied and didn't need support of any kind. Newsone.com reports Porsha and her legal team claim that Porsha gave up her life/career. Devoted herself to him and to being a stepmother for his son from a previous relationship. While Kordell was deceiving and conniving about divorcing Porsha. Porsha was committed to working on their marriage and remained loyal.


There are so many different reports it's hard to keep this story straight. First I was researching to find an update on Porsha and Kordell's divorce I found several reports that they are reconciling. What?! Reconciling after all that, that can't be true. There was one report saying that Kordell is divorcing her because she can't get pregnant. WOW! I hope that this is not true. Because if it is that would be the most despicable and disgusting thing I have heard. Then I read another report saying that Kordell had a new woman just days after the divorce! OMG! You can't be serious!




Let me put this way: I don't know one way or the other if these reports are actually true. I'm going play devils advocate here and say that they are all false and this divorce is happening. Kordell and Porsha are going to fight naturally because of the way this divorce went down. I hope Kordell does right by Porsha.

My initial thoughts of Porsha was that she was naive and inexperienced. That hasn't changed and but this will give her the opportunity to be stronger and become wiser. I think being on the show will really give Porsha the time she needs to find herself. It's sad that it had to happen this way but  things happen for reason. And now its time for Porsha to stop walking in Kordell's shadow and stand on her own two feet. It'll be a liberating experience and she'll never want to go back to being subservient. I promise you that!
