The Nicki Minaj Jiggling Struggle Has ENDED!!!!



Them CHEEK PIECEAGES THO.

I can't remember what award show I was watching where Nicki was on that Motorcycle performing "Pills and Potions" and couldn't clap them cheeks to save Lil' Kim's original face. NOW SHE'S BRAND NEW IN THESE STREETS!!!  CLAPPED THE BROWN SKINNED OFF THAT BOOTY!

This is my thing.  I'm not mad at the ass clapping.  I'm sure many of you aren't either.  I'm mad at Nicki being capable of dope bars but instead she says:


"I let him hit it 'cause he slang cocaine".


I wanna rock with you Nicki.  I promise I do, but daaaaaaaamn.  Being that you are the only type of music in regular rotation, it gives me CRAMPS IN MY KNEE CAPS to know kids my child's age might listen to your lyrics and think that's life and that it's okay.  I don't need you to be a role model.  I need for the fans who know this shit is wack too to be just as irritated.  We're so used to BS now, we just live with it.  

This is what I don't understand.  Why can't you be sexy and spit a few bars that aren't so Ghetto Bird?! 

Why does one have to equal the damn other???  

So a dude can just let me know he slang coke and I'm like, "YAAAAASSS, he can get it." Honestly, the only thing I'm going to be thinking if he say he slang coke is "so when the cops coming to bust in the house?"  Nice eye candy Nicki, but your bars make me understand what Bipolar people must go through.

To end this nicely though, i'll say she's so gorgeous the way she looks now.

Tae Heckard Ends Domestic Partnership with....Another Woman?!



Sheesh...

Well, along with all the craziness of spectators stating their opinions about Tae Heckard (ex-beau of Nelly) and Brandon Jennings (Point Guard of Detroit Pistons AND former longtime beau of actress/singer, Teyana Taylor), it seems as if they may be moving towards a more serious side of life as a couple.

Lashontae Heckard, ex-video vixen and star in show, "The Game" has filed for an end to her domestic partnership with a woman named Monique Blanton - who she partnered with back in 2008.

In legal notes, Tae was noted to say that she split with Blanton for "irreconcilable differences" in 2011.

This would free her up to legally become married now, wouldn't it?

And all this time I thought the "Twitter wives" she claimed were just her buddies ((snort laughs)). Either way, her relationship with Jennings seems to be moving at lightning speed.

Actor Michael Jace - Charged With Killing Wife and Documented Abuse with Ex-Wife



Michael Jace, an actor best known for his role on TV’s “The Shield,” has been charged in the 

fatal shooting of his wife, CNN reports.

April Jace, 40, was found shot to death in her south Los Angeles home by police called there to 

investigate a shooting, Los Angeles Police Detective Lyman Doster said.

TMZ is reporting that the actor called 911 himself and admitted that he pulled the trigger.


According to TMZ:
According to law enforcement sources Jace called 911 around 8:30 p.m. and told police, “I shot my wife.”“We’re told Jace’s neighbors in the Hyde Park area of L.A. had reported shots fired in the home, and shortly thereafter Jace made his call to 911.Sources tell us the 48-year-old actor stayed on the phone, as instructed, until LAPD arrived and found his 40-year-old wife, April Jace dead.We’re told Jace was home alone when his wife arrived with their kids. A short time later he allegedly shot her.Jace was taken into custody, and as of 1:00 a.m. Tuesday was being questioned.

This reminds me of a similar story where a dear friend of mine was shot and killed in her daycare about 4 years ago.  She had separated with her husband and moved into a house down the street from where her and her husband lived.  She was involved with the neighbor from the house she was in while married (I'm not sure if their relationship formed before or after the separation) but she received flowers a few days after Valentine's Day and by the beginning of March, the neighbor she was involved with came to her home in the morning around 7am.  Her daughter let the neighbor in and went down the stairs.  The neighbor opened fire on my friend, shooting her to death then turned the gun on himself.

It's hard to know that many of these murders are romantically-inspired.  Most people involved in a murder trial know each other.

I feel like there's no easy way to pinpoint a person's potential behavior but I do feel that if someone has made threats, they should not be taken lightly under any circumstances.

With actor, Michael Jace there are documents that accused him of being abusive towards his previous wife in their divorce settlement.  According to a witness and friend of the ex-wife, Jace strangled his ex in front of their infant child.

I believe the biggest factor in these types of situations are to never "sleep" on someone's potential. Abusive relationships are very likely to escalate over time - especially if there are no steps towards intervention that can attempt to identify the cause or origin of the behavior.

Torrei Hart Says, "I Wanted to Punch Eniko in the Face"


THERE ARE TONS OF MIXED REACTIONS ON THE LATEST INTERVIEW WITH KEVIN HART'S EX-WIFE, TORREI HART. SHE IS NOW SAYING CLEAR AS DAY THAT HIS CURRENT GIRLFRIEND OF FIVE YEARS, ENIKO PARRISH WAS IN FACT ONE OF THE WOMEN HE WAS INVOLVED WITH DURING THEIR SHAKY MARRIAGE.

(ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT FOOTAGE WITH TORREI HART, ALONG WITH HER FELLOW CAST OF NEW REALITY SHOW, ATLANTA EXES.)


TORREI'S INTERVIEW EVENTUALLY MADE ITS WAY TO SOCIAL MEDIA WHERE HER AND KEVIN STATED THEIR VIEWS (INDIRECTLY MIGHT I ADD).



Torrei pretty much re-stated how she was there for Kevin in his earliest hours supporting his dream and most of this was brought on after the "rib" comment he made about present girlfriend, Eniko Parrish.  

The thing that bothers me the most about this is how some people dismiss her interview as if she's beating a "dead horse", but never stop to think how they would respond if they were in a similar situation.

It's really easy to call someone else out about how they look publicly when they're not being "politically correct".  If I had to ask myself if Torrei was trying to hurt Kevin's following/career by making these statements, I would have to say no.  I believe that she felt validated to speak her side because Kevin has always talked about his past, his family, and his life in his work.  

So, it's okay for Kevin to become a millionaire off of his life stories, but his ex-wife isn't allowed to say anything about how she feels?  

I'm actually happy someone on this planet in some form of spotlight has made an attempt to keep it 100 and not save face because of how people abuse the term, "hater", "bitter", and etc.  Her being a black woman already puts her in this category from judgments within our own race, but many of the people judging this woman are seriously NOT putting themselves in her shoes (if they can at all).  It's one thing to be unattached - you're not in love with anyone, and then tell someone else how they should manage their hurt.  

But when you BECOME that person and you're not only seeing that your family transferred to someone who didn't have to suffer in the gym while you were shooting, and THEN to have that new person be labeled as a "RIB" - I can understand her emotions and trying to find a way to heal from a constant reminder that it's over.  

That's not to say she is a victim either.  No one knows who was the problem behind closed doors when they were a couple.  It could have been Torrei, or both or just Kevin.  However, when Kevin made personal stories public access (comedy material or not), he opened the flood gates of this conversation and nobody seemed to have a problem with him bringing up his past for laughs even though one of the parties involved probably wasn't laughing at all.  

Anyway...my rant wasn't supposed to be this long, but I truly believe as much money as Torrei is receiving from Kevin, it's not about that for her.  I don't sense that from her at all.  I sense a woman who loved a man she lost to the prototype of what is expected to be on his arm in Hollywood.  

And it's easier to leave someone you're obligated to (baby mama) than to go to someone who you don't have a shared responsibility with and who will be everything you want them to be because you're a friggin millionaire.  Plus, do you know how many chicks out here could care less about snatching somebody's man?  Puh-leeeeease.  It kills me how we make excuses for infidelity more than the support of a marriage in 2014.  It's sad.

I know, I know, I'd have to be a guy (maybe a White or Asian one) for someone to truly take my points as valid (just kidding, kind of).

I encourage people to put themselves in the shoes of Torrei.  I don't know too many people who would act so politically correct if the information she shared was true.  And that's MALE or FEMALE.  

Still love Kevin though, but it is what it is.  I don't blame Torrei for keeping it 100.  It's rough out here with all these judgmental folks.



Is A Woman Asking for a Problem With Her Husband if she "Let's Herself Go"?


My opinion is split down the middle on this one.  The fact is we live in a time where looks make up for 98% of our entertainment and the other 2% is comedy based on awful looks.  That percentage is probably as jacked up as the situation I'm asking about, but I've always been torn on this subject honestly.

The truth is that as we age, our looks will begin to change for the worse.  I know that everyone loves to say "black don't crack", and sure we have a few people who have hit the senior citizen mark looking damn good for their age (50s, 60s, even 70s) - but honestly, everyone isn't a fitness guru, a beauty conduit, or a person who wants to spend their life obsessing about a wrinkle, saggy body part, etc. for the rest of their lifetime.

I DO understand and believe that men (however) are very visual creatures.  I DO get the fact that men often crave physical things they would appreciate in their woman - but I know for damn sure that they won't trade the physical for other wholesome qualities unless he's lacking them within himself.  I believe the "hoes that win" are only winning to another whore honestly.  Men that spend so much energy celebrating and/or mentioning/entertaining women who have very low respect for themselves (IMO) are products of failed upbringings and value systems.  I'm not saying that a man who loves T&A wasn't raised right, but a man who would entertain street booty in a serious way beyond the sexual could probably sit on a couch for a few years about where his childhood went wrong.

Anyway...I'm not writing to bash, (I promise I'm not lol) but with keeping up appearance, I would be lying if I said I've never been moved (positively or negatively) about the way a man keeps himself up.  Hygiene and overall presence is one thing, but I'm not about to disown you if you're not GQ man candy of the week.  And...I do know it's often much different for men versus women.

I believe there is balance in this though.  A woman who stops putting pride into her appearance is definitely opening a door to not just other more attractive women being noticed, but for their mate to notice their neglect in a negative light.  There should be enough self-attentiveness on a lady's part where she respects regular grooming, regular hygiene, regular skin care, her curves (whether modest or ba-donk-like).

If my man was around the house not washing his ass, looking like Cousin It in the face (I love facial hair BTW, but not a rain forest), wearing things that look like he searches trash cans for dinner scraps, I would probably be searching him for crack like substances before I ask him what the hell is the problem.

But on the flip side of this, I feel like any man who would make his woman feel "less than" because she isn't a centerfold or she picked up some weight, or any other sign of "not perfect" is still in the Similac phases of his manhood.

Like I said, there's nothing wrong with standards and preferences, but a lasting bond should be based on the friendship and connection that goes beyond physical gratification.  Yeah, if a person is going off the deep end looking a hot ass mess (aka embarrassment), I can completely understand having an issue, a talk or discussion.

But if that's your other half...imperfections shouldn't break something that should be solid beyond the superficial.


She Makes $200k a Year, and He Makes $40k....Is There a Problem???


Sometimes, it's hard to think for yourself when you have loved ones in your ear.  Sometimes their input is helpful, but other times it can cause a world of problems, including the potential loss of a real connection.

There are too many people who don't have their sh*t together in their own personal lives who love to tell someone who has more going for them (at the time) what they need to be doing. Sometimes even a person who is in a relationship has a wealth of bad advice for their friend or relative because of their lack of perspective, or they can't even relate.

After peeping the play, "Ms. Independent" that showcased in Washington, DC at the Warner Theatre, it had me thinking about the way others come in-between people and their relationships with inconsiderate input.

FACT: BEING DISTRACTED IS ONE OF THE MAIN KILLERS OF INTIMATE BONDS!!!!

Some of the strongest alliances I can think of have one major thing in common: their connection cannot be easily shaken (if at all) by the opinions of others.  

In the play, Carleena (played by Robin Givens) was set up by her mother to be driven away from her husband -- using another man (singer Christopher Williams) to lure her away.  Some people have situations that aren't as crazy and the input from loved ones are more subtle, but there is still manipulation involved where someone else's agenda is being carried out.

And it's definitely not just with a woman.  Sometimes a man's "crew" gets in the middle of his mindset and has him messing up priorities as well.  It's valid on both sides of the equation to say that both people in a relationship need to come into the situation with an open mind and their own independent thoughts.

If you can't think for yourself, you are going to have a hard time being a good catch for somebody else.  I know a lot of people in denial about the fact that they don't think for themselves too. Make sure you check your mirrors for more than a quick selfie.



10 Things About Solange and Jay-Z That No One Else Has Said


1.)  There are approximately 5,459,298,635,209,137,349 stories on social media outlets that will give their spin to what they believe happened on that videotape.

2.)  All the people who judge other people who have commented on the elevator fight are spending just as much of their mental space on it as the people they're judging.  (YEP, GO BACK AND READ THAT AGAIN, I'LL WAIT.)

3.)  Some people like watching Sci-Fi. Some like to watch politics and C-Span. Some people like watching Honey Boo an' dem.  Other people like celebrity tabloid gossip.  Which certainly didn't begin when social media got popular. Entertainment Tonight first aired on television in 1981 - which should tell you how long people have tuned into the latest news about well-known public personalities.  This is nothing new so people need to stop judging others so harshly about the fact that it's a juicy story that got attention.

4.)  If you're tired of seeing status updates, memes, and commentary about the latest hot topics, STOP LOOKING AT IT AND GO READ A BOOK.

5.)  YES, people are going to wear those memes and status updates out about this story until it catches an STD and decides to stop being whored out.

6.)  Nobody knows whether Beyonce was thinking about her image, the fact that her sister may have had a point, or if she had too much Ciroc to defend her husband.  We can only guess or say who gives a damn.

7.)  Solange might resemble Orlando Jones in a picture or 3, but Solange is beautiful.  She's also looked like a ton of other people in various pictures - the late, Aaliyah being one of them.  Leave that damn girl alone.

8.) Solange walked out of that afterparty like OG Bobby Johnson.

9.) Beyonce will kick your ass in a poker game.  That game face DOES NOT CHANGE. She busted her entire ass on stage in that sparkly red dress at one of her concerts and had that same facial expression below while she scraped herself up off the floor and kept whipping her hair back and forth.



10.  There IS a slight chance in hell that Jay-Z could do a rap verse or 2 in the near future providing some type of clue as to what happened.  He wrote about the Cuba situation and several other mishaps that came up, so you never know.

Did The Dream Really Hit His Ex-Girl?! Say it Ain't So...


Goodness, I thought The Dream's past relationship with Christina Milian was messy enough, but now it seems as if his latest ex, Lydia Nam has the producer/songwriter/artist slammed with a charge of felony assault.

Dream is telling friends, the reason he was charged Wednesday with felony assault and strangulation is all because Lydia Nam was about to be kicked out of the U.S.

Her visa is set to expire shortly.  Dream says she found out there's a special Visa that allows immigrants to remain in the country if they're crime victims and they're needed in the prosecution of the perpetrator.  (info courtesy of TMZ.com)


The problem with these types of stories are that some women really DO lie about being abused and hurt all for the sake of material gain, public disposition and the like.  It really makes it hard for women who actually lived through an abusive situation to stand firm on what they went through.  It's hard enough to admit what happened, but to know that some people blatantly lie about things like this only enhances a messed up situation.

Sadly enough, there's a child involved in all this craziness.  It's tragic when your personal headlines are making more noise than your talent.  #OurWorldTheseDays 




A BAD BITCH is EMPOWERING!!!


At least...that's what she thinks she is.

More and more as I spend a few seconds too long on social media, I am finding more and more people talking this subject that really hurts me to my soul - not just for the state of the urban community, but for my little girls that have to exist as adults one day in this craziness.

Jada Pinkett made a video about it (might I add just days before her daughter was shown in a very racy picture in bed with a 20 year old man ((long deep sigh on that one)), but she did comment about this along with a Facebook friend of mine who made a status about this current generation of twenty-somethings and etc. who are influencing a new level of behavior that is hurting us.

The era of the "Bad Bitch" has become VIRAL among the mindsets of many women.  There are a ton of girls and grown ass women who feel empowered and strong when they describe themselves like this.

The only problem is...IT'S FRAUDULENT.

There's a TON of women who claim they would rather not have to deal with the emotional strain of a committed relationship, so they will take the role of a "side-chick", "other woman", or say they aren't worried about what he does. Then in the same breath, complain that they can't trust anyone.  But didn't you just become the untrustworthy party by sleeping with someone's man? Also if there's children involved, the responsibility is usually uneven in broken households, so how can a woman say that she doesn't have to deal with emotional strain when most of the time, they are usually complaining about some level of uneven responsibility?  These feelings are usually masked with condescending and passive-aggressive statuses online and a ton of other crap that doesn't solve anything.

That's not to say in all broken households that the man isn't stepping up, but there's a difference between daily household responsibility and visitation responsibilities.  HUGE DIFFERENCE.

Going back to the "Bad Bitch" label (however), the biggest thing that is so wack about this dynamic is the absence of responsibility.  There's no real effort involved where a male must grow to be a man to provide.  All of this is more of a business transaction where the woman is the object.  Sure, they might be cool with one another, but we weren't built as humans to be alone. We were made to attach to one another.  Just like men are territorial about who they are with and care for, women get attached and eventually want to care for and love the person they put time and energy into.

Once upon a time, we understood this as a society.  Now...everyone is saying things like, "who made these rules" and "some people aren't built for relationships" and blah blah (STFU) blah.  And honestly, THEY'RE RIGHT!  Some people AREN'T BUILT FOR RELATIONSHIPS because they were broken from childhood and put through a lot of bullshit by their environment. They may have been abused by someone as a kid or as an adult and became so afraid of attachment that they come across on these social media pages trying to make other people feel as broken as they are.

There are lot of these wack ass people who come disguised as comedians or whatever they choose to call themselves, but there's no description of an actual mature adult in any of this behavior.

It takes MATURITY to commit yourself to something and someone.  It takes MATURITY to not give into your selfish impulses and to put yourself in the shoes of another person.

There's too many people out here who DISH SHIT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE.  I think that alone is one of the biggest things that piss me off about this upbringing-deprived set of dumbasses we have out here nowadays.  People who don't put themselves in the position of a person they deal a f*cked up hand to.

I like being appreciated for my appearance just like any other woman, but do I think getting "Likes" on social media mean anything beyond some dudes who want to see how quick they can get me in a bedroom?  HELL NO.

I was taught better than that.  Comments and likes and compliments don't mean SH*T.  Do these people call me to ask me if I'm okay?  Would they give a damn if I was sick, or if my family was going through something?

When the party stops, which one of those dudes that appreciated your ass cheeks splattered online wants to have a deep convo about the future and the legacy you want to leave behind for following generations?  If your parents or relative was sick, who would visit them in the hospital or check on the family?

WHO REALLY GIVES A SH*T ABOUT YOU BESIDES WHAT YOU COULD DO TO BENEFIT THEM?

These assholes don't care about you girl.  They want to get a nut and they want to talk shit about you when they're done.  They want to make you feel like something is wrong with you if you care about something meaningful because "It's just Facebook" and "It's Just Instagram".

All that fix-a-flat you pumped into your ass and boobs...all that MAC you painted on...that sew-in weave down to your fake assets is all so someone can use you, THEN tell you you're good enough to f*ck, but not to love.  Especially chicks that aren't "exotic".  Nah girl, you gotta tell him you got some Spanish or Indian in your family just so he'll halfway treat you like you're worth a dinner before the fu*k instead of just the fu*k.

Ask yourself if you have a kid, if you would be cool with some of the dudes you deal with talking to them.  What about your mom?  Are they good enough to talk to her?

I hate certain slang (GOD knows I do) but the expression, "F*ck N*ggas" is so appropriate for some of these punk ass negros.

I am in no way trying to bash men as a whole, so don't come at me with that BS, but these dudes who RATIONALIZE and try to tell women to lower their standards of being respected as a human in order to "kick it" need to get sent to a "grown man boot camp".

That's what needs to happen.  Men are considered the "head of household" in marriage, they are the stronger beings biologically, so I believe them to be responsible for taking the LEAD.  We have too many men who don't understand that because nobody taught them anything.

How can the cycle stop?  I don't want to say we're doomed and throw in the towel because as a mother, this is the world my girls have to live in.  I honestly don't know how anyone who has a daughter can not be outraged by the patterns we have in society today.

There is a time and place for everything.  A stripper belongs in a strip club.  Porn belongs on porno sites or subscriptions.  Hoes belong on the strip if that's their hustle.  Why we have brought all this sh*t to the mainstream world for everyone to see and be influenced by is retarded as hell.

THE URBAN COMMUNITY is the only branch of the world where we can't seem to understand how to put sh*t in its proper place.  We condone so much ignorance, then wonder why it's there in the first place.  Duhhhhh...because we get these dumbasses paid by tuning in.

Women who tell a dude it's "OK" with their cooch every time he hits, but can't be seen with her in public. Then she has a NERVE to laugh when some wack ass dude makes fun of her type of behavior like it's funny.  This dude just BLATANTLY defined you as nothing.  How did we get so damn stupid?

My rant could go on forever.  And ever.  And EVER.

(This is your ass. Dummy.)

Would an Unappealing Man or Woman Suddenly Become Appealing in the Right Car?!


I remember a male friend of mine said years ago to another mutual male friend that owned a pretty laid out BMW 640i, (something like that) that half his work was done with getting a female because of his car.

I feel like, as much as my father was a true Cadillac man, I never really got attached to cars like that. I definitely don't want to drive around with a car with emphysema that coughs and chokes at me, but I've never wanted a man more because he had pretty wheels.  I just haven't.  And it certainly didn't change my mind if I didn't want him in the first place.  I actually know a lot of lame ass guys with dope rides unfortunately.  I might sound like a hater but I don't give a damn, y'all should know that about me by now.  Call me what you want, but if you have a Jaguar with an '82 Volkswagen personality, that car won't make any chemistry magically appear on my behalf.

Apparently Ray-J has landed a 7-figure TV deal with VH-1 where he spends about 1/2 a million on "His and Hers" exotic sports cars.  He's currently with a ladybug named Princess Love and spent an attractive penny on a Bentley Continental convertible for Ms. Love -- and a Ferrari 458 for himself.  (Info courtesy of TMZ.com)

I mean, most people would say that I've never had a celebrity pull up for me in a luxury car so I need to shut the hell up...and now that I just said that, I probably do.  ((snort laughs))

Met Gala Couples 2014....and etc....



THE COUPLES...
NOTABLE LOOKS AND QUESTIONABLE LOOKS...(YOU CAN DECIDE WHICH IS WHICH)

Did Kimye Get Married? -- Does the Title Matter???


So the rumor is that Kimye are "man and wife" officially on paper, according to reports online. Their publicity team are not commenting on it thus far and stated that they will be holding a private wedding ceremony with roughly 200+ of their closest friends.

My question (however) is, are titles really growing less and less important in relationships?  I know that there are tons of people who blame this whole thing on people being "whores, playas, etc.", but I'm wondering if more people are warming up to the idea of having "no titles" in an effort to "keep the peace" with the person they're dealing with.

My opinion is that being publicly exclusive is a sign of respect for that person and what you are building with them.

Respect definitely seems to be growing more extinct with the times, but I believe that people who are truly committed understand that marriage vows are an expression of the respect you have for your bond.

And who would argue that unless there are other agendas against the relationship involved???

Talk Powerful Sh** To Me!!! I LOVE THAT!!!


Am I the only person here who is NOT attracted to a person I can't talk sh*t to?!

Seriously though.

It's one thing to have a hopeless romantic on your hands, and I totally want someone who thinks of me enough to want to inspire that side, but sometimes you just need the comedy.

My parents have been going strong for 135.6899 years and a good 134 of that was spent with them laughing and talking powerful trash to one another.

He'll tell my mom in a heartbeat how he'll slap the black off of her or that she scares him in the morning, or that my dad's snoring has burned skin off the side of her face at night, but this is all in beautiful fun and a lifetime of being with your best friend.

Now of course there is a balance because of these upbringing-deprived little bastards wouldn't know respect if it kicked them in the family jewels. There's a difference between a little trash talk and being a human box of Massengil.

Tell me how I look like Danny Glover in a dim light sometimes, it's okay...I don't mind.  We can wrestle about it, then we can.... ((snort laughs))

Message To People Who Judge Battered Women (RANT)


Especially other women.

How dare you take another woman's situation and act as if you understand what it feels like to be helpless and torn between your fear, your love and choices?

This isn't directed to any one person.  This was inspired by Housewives of Atlanta star, Porsha Stewart because she made allegations on air that her ex-husband, Kordell Stewart, former Quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers was abusive during their marriage.

Whether she was lying or not isn't my concern because who knows what happened?  We don't. People will speculate and judge on either side.

My stance is the fact that it is easy to tell someone else what they need to do when you don't have to make the hard judgment of altering the course of your life.  This is why I laugh at unattached people who always talk about how emotional someone who IS attached is acting when they can't even relate to the person.

There is a COMPLETELY different mindset involved when you co-exist with a person on an intimate level.  Especially when years, family, property, and memories are involved.

This era of people who are so quick to throw each other away (at least publicly) is so full of shit, it makes me want to gag.  All this "I don't care" crap is like the delinquent child crying out for help and attention.

A battered woman isn't someone who wants to be hurt.  She's not asking to be mistreated.  She probably isn't even stupid.  She's afraid.  She's torn between her better judgment and her courage to demand more of her life.  She needs support.

So many Black people don't know the true meaning of the word, "support".  There's a BIG difference between being supportive versus enabling.  Encouragement rather than condescension.   I don't know a time where a person being condescending worked out for anyone's benefit honestly.  But so many people and their "high horses" want to cluck and bark about some shit they don't know anything about.

So yeah, just like some of you judge those women, I'M JUDGING YOU.  BASTARDS.

Money Mayweather Starting the Fight Early With His Ex-Girl

Goodness.  What's wrong with Black folks?  So, Money Mayweather is set to hit Vegas for his fight against a Spanish guy for the umpteenth time (I'm an asshole, these are just jokes) - his name is Marcos Madiana from Argentina.  But in the meantime, he's making more noise on the personal side of his life.

So, he and his fiance of 4 years, Shantel Jackson (@missjackson on Instagram) split a few weeks ago and their social media pages have been full of all the juiciness and controversy that ratchet lovers could ever want in their life.

The feud wildfire began to spread when Jackson posted a picture of herself and Nelly courtside at the Heat vs. Bobcats Playoff game.  She posted the picture around 7am yesterday (May 1st).

Mayweather then posted a document stating that Jackson had gotten an abortion of their twin babies last December.  This is the picture he posted:




I had to do a zoom into the document because it was rumored that the pregnancy was ectopic (meaning - inside her fallopian tubes and also meaning she would lose the babies).  According to this document (if true), the pregnancy looks like it's where it's supposed to be.  "Intrauterine" meaning, inside her uterus.

To add to this, Mayweather posted a very unflattering picture of Miss Jackson last month seen here:
She responds to this by uploading the same photo of herself with the caption:
What woman doesn't have a day like this.  This reason why I left!!!!  It's been a year now.  Don't you have a fight coming up.

Last night around 8pm, Shantel posted a reply to his instagram post about the abortion:
Allegedly, Shantel split with Mayweather because of his infidelity and links to women she repeatedly heard about, which is a far cry from what his story is saying.

So yeah, why am I talking about all this craziness?  Well...I think the responses from the fans and followers have been more intriguing than the drama itself honestly.  I see many women who have sided with Shantel about her decision to do what's right with her body AND pointing out the fact that she's obviously NOT a "golddigger" because if she was, she had the jackpot right in her tummy.

I have also seen male responses who simply call her out of her name and stress the fact that she has been easily replaced by all the other eligible vaginas (because that's the main body part for women in the industry right?).

My take on it is:  whether she aborted because of a health-issue, or because she was reluctant to become a mother at this time is not for anyone to judge.  People love to speak on things they know nothing about, and love to ridicule until their business becomes front and center of the judgment.

Mayweather needs to act his age AND WAGE (he has too much notoriety to take such a publicly low blow on someone he once claimed to love).  That behavior is for kids who are still trying to figure it out.  I know in 2014, asking any public figure to act like some form of role model is like asking them to visit the moon with no space suit, but I am a firm believer of the saying, "to whom much is given, much is required".

Jealousy can bring out a LOT of ugliness in males and females, but true maturity is where you can understand that we all are bigger than our emotions.  LIFE is bigger than our emotions.  Emotions rise and fall like the sun.  They change like the weather, but life still remains constant and moving. While you are happy, sad, angry, indifferent, or vindictive....life is still happening around you. People are still watching.

He really should handle his emotions better, but knowing his STANS/fans, they will justify his behavior.

The problem is, so many of our peers (20 somethings, 30 somethings, and beyond) fail to understand that all this nonsense usually begins the path towards becoming an older person with regrets.  Imagine yourself at 60 when a lot your shit stops working right.  Did your behavior at a younger age set you up to be content with your life and the people within it?

A lot of people (men and women) are ditching a LOT of their 80% people to rock with that attractive, but worthless 20%.  20% people only care about how you can benefit them, but as soon as the party is over, so is their company.  You'll learn.  Mayweather gonna learn too.  Maybe not today though.  He's too obsessed with his money.


My 85 Cents on Donald Sterling (Racist Owner of the LA Clippers)




So by now, many of us (basketball fans or not) have heard about the LA Clippers owner, Donald Sterling who allegedly made racist remarks to his Black and Mexican mistress, V. Stiviano (who goes by a number of alises), saying that she needs to only socialize with Black people in private because she represents him and he is not okay with the public display.  

Obviously most Black folks aren't surprised by the remarks made, I'm just wondering why he would be crazy enough to verbalize his feelings over the phone or in an environment where he could be recorded.  (Senile I guess...)

So many different things come to mind about this entire situation honestly, but the biggest thing (in my opinion) is that the slave dynamic rings just as true in 2014, as it did 200 years ago.  

The sports arena is not the only place where top executives and owners feel this way.  And we (Black folks) support so many things that we honestly shouldn't.  The MUSIC INDUSTRY is a huge example.  I'm not about to give a speech about why because there's so many people that lack direction from childhood, that i'd be preaching to the choir, and blowing smoke to the ones who need to hear it.  I'm not blaming people who want to see a ball game, but I am calling a spade a card game.

But i'll say this: (Mainstream "Hip-Hop") They paint Black dudes as strong physically, but not mentally.  They're incapable of love....but they'll "f**k these hoes".  Equalling an absent father to tons of kids and a pissed off mother.  Those kids eventually become absent fathers and pissed off babies' mommies that get made fun of by black husbands that cheat on their wives with them.  

Then...they paint the women as "f**kable, but not loveable".  And so many women can't WAIT to be half-naked on Instagram for 3,000 likes.  You go girl.  The trust issue is huge in everyone's vocabulary when the whole time, you don't even know this game of "cat and mouse" was set up from the very beginning.  It's cool, don't listen to me though.

I don't care how much money you're counting.  I'm not taking a snake's money.  Fuck him and that money.  And yeah, i've had plenty of opportunities.  I'll share those in my book, damn it. 



FACTS ABOUT THIS DONALD STERLING STORY:

He was sued twice by the federal government after refusing to rent apartments to minorities.
In the 2005 case, he was ordered to pay a $2.73million fine to settle.
In a 2009 case, he was accused of refusing to rent to non-Koreans when it came to a property in Koreatown and refused African American tenants for a property in Beverly Hills.
He was reportedly accused of saying that he wouldn't rent to Hispanics because they 'smoke, drink and just hang around the building'.
The suit also accused Sterling of saying, 'Black tenants smell and attract vermin'.
He was also named in a 2003 lawsuit wherein he crudely described how he had sex with a prostitute who charged $500-per-tryst. 
In that case, he admitted that 'maybe I morally did something wrong' but went on to explain that 'it was purely sex for money, money for sex, sex for money, money for sex,' according to records obtained by The Smoking Gun.
(Information I pulled from DailyMail.co.uk)
(This recorded conversation is allegedly between Donald Sterling and his girlfriend, who goes by the name V. Stiviano, who identifies herself as part Mexican and part African American.)

VS: I wish I could change the skin. The color of my skin
DS: That isn't the issue. You've missed the issue.
VS: What's the issue?
DS: The issue is we don't have to broadcast everything.
VS: I'm not broadcasting anything. I don't do anything wrong. 

DS: Why are you taking pictures with minorities... why?
The conversation centered around a now-deleted photo that Stiviano put on Instagram of herself and Magic Johnson (pictured)
The conversation centered around a now-deleted photo that Stiviano put on Instagram of herself and Magic Johnson (pictured)
VS: What's wrong with minorities? What's wrong with black people?
DS: Nothing, nothing, nothing.
VS: What's wrong with Hispanics?
DS: It's like talking to an enemy. There's nothing wrong with minorities, they're fabulous. Fabulous. Because you're an enemy to me.
VS: Why?
DS: Because you don't understand.
VS: I don't understand what?
DS: Nothing, nothing.
VS: That racism still is a lie?
DS: No but there's a culture.
VS: What culture?
DS: People feel certain things. Hispanics feel certain things towards blacks. Blacks feel certain things towards other groups. It's been that way historically and it will always be that way.
VS: But it's not that way in my heart and in my mind.
DS: But maybe you want to adjust to the world. 

DS: Yea it bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associated with black people. Do you have to?
VS: You associate with black people.
DS: I'm not you and you're not me. You're supposed to be a delicate white or a delicate Latina girl.
VS: I'm a mixed girl.
DS: Ok well.
VS: And you're in love with me. And I'm black and Mexican. Whether you like it or not. Whether the world accepts it or not. And you're asking me to remove.... you want me to have hate towards black people?
DS: I don't want you to have hate. That's what people do- they turn things around. I want you to love them- privately. In your whole life, everyday you can be with them. Every single day of your life.
VS: But not in public?
DS: But why publicize it on the Instagram and why bring it to my games? 
Recorded: A call between Sterling and his girlfriend was released and he is heard making racist assertions

VS: I can't believe that a man who's educated, a man who's a scholar, a man...
DS: Well believe it, and stop talking about it. Let's finish our discussion with a period, ok? 

VS: I took a picture with someone I admire (Magic Johnson).
DS: Good
VS: He happens to be black, and I'm sorry.
DS: I think the fact that you admire him- I've known him well, and he should be admired. And I'm just saying that it's too bad you can't just admire him privately, and during your entire f****** life, your whole life- admire him, bring him here, feed him, f*** him, I don't care. You can do anything. But don't put him on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me. And don't bring him to my games, OK?

Nelly Gives Sound Relationship Advice. After Tip Drill. I'm As Shocked As You Are.


Nelly had a lot of valuable things to say to VladTV about why a marriage in the entertainment industry is a "different animal", where the situations should not be measured through a normal everyday person perspective.

Honestly, I can feel his position 100%.  He talked about how the dynamic of the entertainment industry makes it difficult to really connect with a mate because of constant distance.

Then he says, he knows he'll be ready for marriage when there's no question of anything - he will just know.

And this is just my opinion kids. If more of these women would hold their kitty dumplings to a higher standard, it would force men to value it more and settle down.  Good women have to pay for you heaux and even though the industry has always been full of groupie love, the regular folk are imitating that life at an epidemic rate.  

Sexual freedom is one thing, but the majority of women want love.  And I'm sorry, Kanye might wife the one who slept with the homies, but your everyday man who would still put a ring on it wants a woman who he knows holds herself to a higher standard.

10 OF THE WORST TYPES OF PEOPLE TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH

(Jackie Chan's face is priceless though...LOL)




1. The Know-it-All.

I don't know why some people make it a priority to act like an expert on every issue.  It's almost like saying "I don't really know" is a mark of shame that they'll never be able to live down.  It's okay to simply say, "I don't know".  Annoying little bastards.


2. The One Who Argues In Public.

It’s almost as if this boyfriend/girlfriend feeds off of the uncomfortable energy and appalled expressions of onlookers as he/she gets louder, angrier and increasingly hysterical in the restaurant, or at the party, or wherever you’re regretting going out to, while your insides are filled with humiliation. All of the room’s eyes are on you and while you’re mortified, you kind of understand because you get that this moment would be quite enjoyable to watch if you weren’t involved in it.


3. The Complainer.

It’s too cold. It’s too hot. This is so expensive. This is so cheap. It’s gross in here. It smells out there. This room is too bright. This room is too dim. We’ve been in all day, I want to go out. This place sucks, I want to go home. This is the one that makes life worth stabbing yourself in the kidney.  The only thing that truly sucks is the life that they are sucking out of the day that could be pretty damn great if they weren't so annoying.


4. You're Dating A "Baby".

You just don't match on many things because there's a slight difference in generational perspective.  Getting "Lifted" or turning into a drunky pooh might not be the highest item on your priority list and they look at you like you're a grandparent.  OR...you can't really discuss grown issues or situations with them because their perspective is too premature or sheltered by their lack of experience.  Some people don't mind teaching while others just feel mildly ashamed they're dating a toddler.

5. The Parent-Partner.
They’re less like a lover and more like a chaperone. It’s amazing how often people forget that you’re supposed to have fun with the person you’re dating. It’s not supposed to feel like you can’t be seen laughing or having a good time – this isn’t Matilda where Miss Trunchbull will lock your ass in The Chokey for enjoying life. If you want to spend time with friends or make adult jokes or watch an R-rated movie, you shouldn’t be hesitant to do so because you’re dreading your significant other’s hostile reaction. (SBM.com)

6. The “Realistic” One.

Ah, the dream killing, goal squashing, aspiration slaying lover. Will Smith once said, “Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity.” That’s beyond accurate and who wants to be with someone who encourages practicality and doesn’t further motivate you to do the things you want in life? Embrace high risk, high reward opportunities, attempt the unheard of, live life like it’s the Tumblr search results for the word “inspirational.” It’s essentially impossible to do those things with an in-the-box-thinking lover. (SBM.com)

7. The Possessive One.

The clinginess is flattering and adorable at first, but when you’re treated like a toy belonging to a selfish child long enough it gets exhausting. Stay involved in this too long and people will starting making memes with you and your boo's picture instead of Ike and Tina.

8. The Double Standard One.

If you interact amicably with an ex it’s the end of the world but they think it’s okay to be cool with people they’ve dated in the past. Don’t raise your voice at them, but endure their rising volume during arguments. Don’t have a bunch of women/men friends but they will, so deal with it. There should be some sort of established, mutual understanding that includes equal levels of respect. Double standard enforcers are typically also the controlling types. (SBM.com)

9. The Comparer.

My ex did this. This couple did that. That character that isn’t real life but is incredibly romantic in a movie did this & that. Why can’t you do sweet things like that romantic character in a movie who isn’t real life but did this & that? Seriously, this must be what parents feel like when a kid tries to get permission to go to a party by saying “But, so-and-so’s mom & dad are letting him go!” and slightly offended they respond, “WELL GOOD FOR THEM, but I’m your parent.” Also, the expectations from this person aren’t necessarily high. For example, say their ex was “busy” a lot and turned out to be cheating – well now every time you work late your whereabouts and actions will be questioned. (SBM.com)

10. The Master Manipulator.

Words will be twisted, lies will be told, exaggerations will be made and they’ll hope to sway your opinions and flip the script, turning themselves into the victim and you into a monster. Conversations with this person are a lot like a heavily edited reality TV series that stretches the truth until it can be molded to fit the absurd storylines desired. If you’re not about that VH1 life, don’t even bother. (SBM.com)

DID I MISS ANY OTHER ONES????

CiCi Maintaining Sexy....in the LAST Trimester!

The beauty of maternity is deeper than any words, I swear!!!  Ciara looks fabulous within her third trimester (aka the Mask of Death, shoot me now, when is this BS going to end I have to pee every 3 seconds and somebody get me some ice cream ASAP trimester).

It's awesome that Ciara is trying to maintain the precious moments of her pregnancy.  





Jigga Gets A Honeymoon Yacht Instead of Attending the Kimye Wedding. ALRIGHTY.


I can kind of understand how Bey and Jay want to keep their empire out of the messiness of the whole "reality realm" but that's a tough one.  That's your boy.  At the end of the day, I would imagine the two business-savvy gentleman have already come to an understanding about the situation.

What do you all think?  Do you feel like Jay and Bey should be in attendance for his boy's wedding? Or is the pricy several hundred thousand dollar yacht a sufficient exchange for his absence?

"According to Britain’s The Sun newspaper, Jay Z plans on making is absence up to Kim & Kanye by throwing them a lavish wedding party at his New York club 40/40. The paper also reports that Jay’s going to drop $160,000 to charter a yacht for the couple’s honeymoon."

Kevin Hart's Ex-Wife, Torrei Says She Still Hurts From The Divorce


I seriously had a feeling that Torrei (Kevin Hart's ex-wife) was not at all accepting of his current relationship with Eniko and I was correct.

Initially, I totally understood where Kevin was coming from when he talked about how he settled down at a very early age (early 20s) with a woman and went through a lot of the growing pains that couples usually go through - and he had to do much of this while he was gaining a fan base and popularity.  So you go from a regular Joe on the street to a "big deal" and your standards are tested because you have a new-found selection of opportunities, especially with WOMEN.

But then Torrei comes out in her interview with Jamie Brown from Sister 2 Sister Magazine that she is in fact still trying to emotionally heal from the way the marriage ended when she was the one with him "shooting in the gym".  He has his MVP trophy and is celebrating with this new woman who he refers to as his "rib".

This is a quote from some of that interview:

"It’s easy to be somebody’s rib when you’re a millionaire. That’s just me being as honest as I can. Me, for instance: You’re working at City Sports and I’m taking you to your shows, you’re driving my car, you’re crashing my car several times, and I’m still there for you, supporting you, went out and got a job for the phone company and still making sure I got your back so you can pursue your dreams…That’s what ribs do!”   -- Torrei Hart

So after reading some of the comments on MadameNoire.com, I would have to say these two basically illustrate my thoughts (especially coming from a person who invested almost a decade of my life myself):
(Click on the photo to enlarge)

Kevin is a hell of an entertainer, but I totally disagree with his choice to show off a new woman after the mother of his children invested so much to help him become who he is today.  Put the shoe on the other foot.  Let the woman be the star and let Kevin be the one who supported her.  In society she would be the devil reincarnated.  Trust and BEEEELIEVE.  Double-standards all day, everyday.

LOVE VIOLATIONS: Are Men and Women Equal on This???


So I got a reply from @TeamLashontae on Twitter about what I said in my blog when it comes to the whole Love Triangle, Square, situation where Tae is now dating Teyana Taylor's ex-fiancee.


I was asked if I would judge the situation the same way if it were between two guys and one girl?
I felt like that was a fair question but the thing is, in society black women have always been judged harshly.  I'll illustrate an example:

Men often complain about women who will take free dinners, outings, etc. in spite of having no romantic interest.   Messed up right?  The woman is blamed in society for this.  

Then, you have a woman who is constantly being dogged out by a man and treated poorly that she continues to invest time and energy into.  She is also blamed for this because she should set her bar higher and demand better behavior, or move on.

BOTH scenarios are dealing with someone being taken advantage of but somehow, the emphasis of the blame is placed more on the woman in both situations.  The double-standard out here in these streets is REAL.   

Personally, I believe BOTH sexes should be responsible for making a conscious judgment of who gets their time and effort based on actions.  If someone isn't reciprocating behavior you feel you are showing them, then it's time to let it go or just do you and stop complaining. 

So back to the question I got about whether I would look at the situation differently, I have to say I WOULD.  But not on purpose.  I think I'm conditioned to believe that men get away with doing more things like this (especially in Hollywood, the "industry", whatever you want to call it). It doesn't make it any less messed up though.

Point blank, most people do things not considering how they would feel if it was done to them. On the outside looking in, it definitely seems that way.  Lashontae is gorgeous so I can imagine that she deals with her selection of many approaching her and with that daily struggle, being moral about things probably gets lost in the shuffle of living her life.

Feel free to add/subtract to what I'm saying though.  Any thoughts on this?

The Chick That Wants Everyone To Want Her


I was talking about this earlier today.  I've seen all ends of this situation.  I've seen women who actually show you CLEAR AS DAY that they're about that, "I want your man to see what he's missing" life, and I've also been accused of being that woman myself.  Yep.

First of all, the ONE CHICK that accused me years ago - if she had spent more time worrying about not coming across like a man and being so damn unattractive, my attractiveness wouldn't have made her feel some type of way. (Yeah, I said it).  Secondly, I find it very funny when someone who turns out to be promiscuous as hell would lie on someone else of being about that life.  Gotta love a**holes that deflect what they actually do themselves on other people.

THEN, I was talking to a dear friend of mine, and she told me how she actually grew up as a teen watching her mom deal with some of the shadiest characters on the planet where a woman was actually masturbating on her mom's couch while others were in the house!  And given the truthful nature of my friend (I know she doesn't make stuff up like some other people I used to be around), I believe that actually happened.

But even on a less WTF note, I don't think there's anything wrong with a beautiful confident woman being bubbly or high-spirited, but I have been around some women who really stunt in front of other women's men and then have the audacity to say that the girlfriend or wife is insecure.  I was thinking, you need to be glad she's only insecure and not violent because if I was her, you'd be finding your teeth on the ground.  Proud Scorpio in the building ((raises hands to the roof)).

I don't play that crap, I'm sorry - people can say what they want to say.  If I invest my precious time, energy and my heart with a person, WHAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO DO is entertain someone coming through smiling in my face and my man's face while she's secretly scooting closer towards him.

Unless they have an open relationship dynamic, she needs to sit down or be sat down.

But there is a difference between women who cry for attention, and women who just get it anyway.  Every woman who turns heads is not an attention whore.  She might just have a presence.  There's a Yin and Yang to many things.

Sooo...Was Tae Heckard In the Wrong for Locking Down Teyana Taylor's Ex Fiancée?


My question about the whole thing is, how close do you have to be to a person before their leftovers become "off-limits"?

Apparently Tae Heckard (star in show, The Game, actress and video vixen) has caught hell from friends of Teyana Taylor for putting up photos of her being very cozy and happy with Teyana's ex-FIANCEE, Detroit Pistons player, Brandon Jennings.  Tae announced that her and Brandon were official and received many well wishes on Instagram from people after her split from rapper Nelly.  Then she received a message from one of Teyana's male friends:

"Wait? Wasn't you and @teyanataylor just together in LA?? This is crazy. This is why Teyana be pissin me off! Because She speak so highly of b***h like you calling you her "SIS" and then you do sh-t like this behind her back smfh and you know that's her ex-fiance! Foh everybody knows that!"  --- the friend wrote.

So again I ask,  would most women agree that if another woman they're cool with began dating someone they were with (let alone engaged to), would they be in the wrong or does it depend on their closeness level?

I'll just say this:  I was engaged.  I can say that I relate to Teyana with having a previous relationship that lasted many years.  We were also off and on like Teyana was with Brandon.  If I were to find out someone I'm even remotely cool with started seeing him, let's just say my chill levels would be non-existent in that situation.  IDGAF.  I don't care how that looks, I'm not here to front and tell fairy tales about how I wouldn't care, etc.  That "have no f*cks" movement is for the 25 and younger kids, I'm going to be pissed.  Violation is violation...period, point blank.

I don't know the nature of Teyana and Tae's relationship so that's what made me present the question, but anytime you deal with someone's leftovers, you're playing with fire.  Why? Just flip the script and put yourself in the other person's position.

In the "industry", I think the rules are as loose as most of the men and women, but for people that actually take bonds, friendships, and relationships seriously, there is a level of saying, "I don't respect you enough to consider your feelings in this attraction I have" when you decide to mess around with someone you know should be "off-limits".

Circles are small and honestly, I think that for some people, it makes the situation even more attractive.  Some people crave controversy and playing it dangerous.  Either way, I couldn't knock Teyana if she was hurt by it - especially if she thought Tae was really her friend.
