Tyrese Gibson shares a video seemingly trolling his ex-wife and accusing her of lying during their divorce.

The Fast and Furious star is evidently not pleased with his ex-wife Samantha Lee as he shared a video calling her out for allegedly lying about him. On Thursday night, Tyrese posted a video of a woman slipping and falling on some rocks by the ocean side. The woman whose back is against the camera slides on the rocks and shoots into the ocean. It’s unclear if the video is of his ex-wife, but Tyrese posted a caption as he got some things off his chest.

“Samantha really thought she pulled it off,” he wrote. “God don’t like ugly. 15 blatant lies under penalty of perjury drug [sic] my name and reputation in the mud and drug an unexpected divorce into two years,” he wrote.

Tyrese is miffed at Samantha Lee-Gibson, who was recently granted $10,690 per month in child support. The two share a 3-year-old daughter, Soraya Lee and Samantha Lee had initially asked the court for $20,000, which Tyrese fought in court, calling it “unreasonably high.”

The judge had shut down Tyrese, who said he was not aware of how much money he made. The court ordered that the parents split childcare expenses 50/50 while Tyrese has to maintain a life insurance plan of $1.9 million for Soraya as the beneficiary and her mother as the trustee.

The judge had also chided Tyrese, who has had various social media meltdowns over the divorce, while Lee remained private.

“I want you both to love your kid, and I want you both to tell your kid to love the other parent because that’s how we get successful human beings,” the presiding judge said before alluding to winners in their divorce.

Gibson and Lee jointly announced their divorce in December 2020. They were married for almost four years. In court documents, Samantha Lee had accused Tyrese of locking her and their daughter out of the Georgia home that was their matrimonial home. Gibson has only said that the marriage has irretrievably broken down in her divorce petition, not giving much detail.

Shenseea Spits Busta Rhymes Iconic “Look At Me” Verse With Ding Dong – Watch

Shenseea nailed Busta Rhymes verse on Chris Brown’s “Look At Me” like its her own.

The Jamaican artist has been rising up the ranks in music, and her Funk Flex freestyle has shown that she is a cut above the rest with her lyrics, but it seems that the dancehall deejay’s good listening skills are also top-tier. In a video shared on Instagram, Shenseea spits perhaps what is Busta Rhymes most iconic verse. The verse is from Chris Brown’s “Look At Me Now,” with Busta and Lil Wayne, where both rappers bodied the track.

“Tell me why did I let my friends put me up to do this,” she said, laughing as she tagged fellow Romeich Entertainment artist Ding Dong and Busta Rhymes. “Istg imma go catch this verse,” she added.

Busta Rhymes reacted to the video with a series of laughing emojis. While the verse was rapped so speedily, it’s impressive that Shenseea could follow along with the rapper as the lyrics on paper and the lyrics in sound do not resemble. Busta Rhymes’ style of rap is also unique to him in the hip-hop space, as not many rappers can spit a verse the way he does. The 2011 song has been certified platinum by the RIAA, and “Look At Me” music video currently has over 550 million views on YouTube.

Meanwhile, Shenseea has been booked and busy as she recently performed at Rolling Loud Canada and was recently spotted performing in France. The artist’s stage performance in France was electric, and that was reciprocated by fans who sang her songs along.

Sharing her fire orange fit from France with stones mimicking water drops, Shenseea wrote, “Paris, Pop in, Pop out!”

The Jamaican singer has been having one of the best years in her career following the release of her debut album, Alpha, earlier this year. The project received critical acclaim from fans and critics alike and further cemented Shenseea as one of the greatest female Jamaican artists of all time. Since dropping off the project, she has been touring almost nonstop, including a packed summer schedule with shows in Europe, the Caribbean, Canada, and the US. In between her tour dates, she also finds time to record new music for her sophomore album, due sometime next year.

Latto Salutes Mariah Carey Ignore Nicki Minaj Beef: ‘Mariah Really Changed My Life’

Latto ignores her rumored beef with Nicki Minaj and instead showered Mariah Carey with praise.

Latto is one of the few lucky artists to land a collaboration with Mariah Carey. On Thursday, the artist shared her gratitude to Mariah for being able to collaborate with her and for the many welcomed changes it has made in her life. The artist shared her reflection in a tweet.

“Just sitting here thinking how @MariahCarey really changed my life. Everything has been up since you embraced me Queen,” she began. “I’m so thankful to have worked with you!!! Hope you’re having a good day,” she wrote.

It’s been a good year for the 24-year-old Atlanta artist who won Best New Artist at the BET awards back in June. This is her first career award despite a few nominations in the past. Back in March this year, things began looking up for Latto, who already had a top 10 hit with “Big Energy,” but a remix of the song featuring Mariah Carey and DJ Khaled gave Latto her first No. 1 single.

The song hit No. 1 on the United States iTunes chart within 24 hours after it was released on March 28. The song, which sampled Tom Tom Club’s 1981 single, “Genius Of Love,” was previously sampled by Mariah Carey in her song “Fantasy.”

Before her remix, “Big Energy” had peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 2021, which was the highest-charting song of her career.

She previously spoke about the song’s content and why a lot of her fans related to it, where she attributed the idea to the trendy “big d*** energy” quote that started on Twitter. Latto wanted to remove the idea that the quote can only be used in a masculine context, which is why as a female rapper, she opted to create an uplifting banger purely on just that idea.

Latto recently released her album 777 and has a new song, “It’s Giving,” out on streaming services.

The Atlanta rapper’s name was recently mentioned in a rumored beef with Nicki Minaj. Latto opted to ignore those chatters and instead used her platform to homage Mariah Carey, who perhaps gave her her biggest hit to date.

Talks of a feud between Latto and Nicki Minaj arose following the Trini rapper’s recent Queen Radio, where she spoke about new female rappers trying to categorize themselves among rappers like herself who have been in the game for two decades. While she didn’t mention Latto’s name during her statement, her fans pounced on it and singled out the “Big Energy” rapper among the shortlist.

Kanye West End Yeezy Deal With Gap To Focus On His Own Retail Store

Black Immigrant Daily News

Kanye West’s billion-dollar brand Yeezy is terminating its deal with Gap inc just a year after they first signed in 2020 for the brand to carry his Yeezy merch that includes premium-priced hoodies, shoes, and other clothing items.

The move comes less than a week after Kanye West threatened legal action against Gap and Adidas over alleged contractual violations. The rapper had said on Instagram that both companies failed to meet their contractual obligations, which were to help expand his Yeezy brand.

In a letter to Gap, which has been shared with the press, Kanye West told the company that he was ending their Yeezy collaboration because Gap failed to meet certain obligations set out in the agreement. The letter says that the deal was for the company to distribute products to store locations and create dedicated YZY Gap stores before the end of the second half of 2021, which it has failed to do by the second.

Kanye’s lawyer, Nicholas Gravante, says the rapper had brought his concerns to Gap, but nothing has been done since. “Yeezy notified Gap of its concerns in August and gave the company a contractually-designated 30 days to cure its breaches,” Gravante said.

The attorney added that the breach by Gap has impacted the Yeezy brand negatively as forecasted income is impacted. “Ye will now promptly move forward to make up for lost time by opening Yeezy retail stores,” the lawyer said to CNBC.

The Yeezy-Gap contract would have run until 2026, and based on the agreement, Kanye would receive royalties and equity based on the sales. Under the agreement, he was to receive 8.5 million shares once defined sales targets were achieved.

In the meantime, it seems that Gap might be affected by low sales due to the state of the economy. The Yeezy-Gap collab was estimated to bring in $1 billion in sales in the first year of the agreement but the store has seen reduced sales as inflation rises in the U.S in past months. Gap has not formally addressed any of Kanye’s rants on Instagram or in his letter.

Last week, Kanye shared that he was ready to build his brick-and-mortar stores to expand his brand.

“I made the companies money. The companies made me money. We created ideas that will change apparel forever. Like the round jacket, the foam runner, the slides that have changed the shoe industry. Now it’s time for Ye to make the new industry. No more companies standing in between me and the audience,” he had said in an interview with Bloomberg Business.

In the meantime, it’s unclear what action Kanye is taking from Adidas, whom he accused of stealing his designs and mass-producing gears in China.

In the meantime, Kanye West was spotted at New York Fashion Week, where his Yeezy runway was exhibited to his fans and followers. He appeared happy as he smiled in press photos and in the company of supermodel Winnie Harlow.

Stefflon Don is finally reacting publicly to Burna Boy’s hit song “Last Last” where he referenced their past relationship.

Stefflon Don has no hard feelings towards her ex-boyfriend Burna Boy as she speaks about moving on and not wanting to date any more artists. Speaking with Hot 97’s TT Torez, the British-born Jamaican artist was asked about the breakup, which she disclosed had occurred more than a year before it became known in the media.

According to Steff, they were together for two and a half years before the breakup. When asked about Burna Boy’s latest chart-topper “Last Last” and whether the song was about her, the singer exudes confidence in her response, saying, “It is what it is.”

Reports are that she ended the relationship because the Nigerian rapper had cheated on her. Burna Boy’s “Last Last” also seems to hint that the singer is having a hard time getting over Stefflon. “When I heard it, how did I feel? He said something in it and I was like ‘Boy that’s a lie’ whatever, it’s whatever,” she said.

Although Stefflon Don is a lot of people’s dream girl, the “Senseless” singer says that she’s getting a lot of DMs from possible suitors, but she’s not interested in dating another artist. She also said that she was only interested in dating if it was for a serious relationship.

“You know what it is, I’m just a lover of love,” she says as she says her horoscope is Sagittarius. “and I don’t know how to like go out with a guy without thinking ‘oh, I’m going to marry you’, do you understand what I’m saying? I don’t how to- I just feel like I’m wasting my time,” she said.

“It has to be worth it like I have to be seeing a future with you,” she added.

Stefflon Don says she is a workaholic and enjoys her work as she distracts herself. However, if she is to consider a future prospect, it’s a hard no for industry players. “Not in music, I’m alright with that, no, anything else but not with music,” Stefflon says.

Meanwhile, Stefflon is gearing up for a new album release which is called ‘Island 54’ and is set to drop sometime later this month. The “Hurtin Me” singer revealed that this album is her first as an independent artist since leaving Capital and QCM prior to the pandemic.

The YouTuber Nicki Minaj is suing for $75,000 for defamation is now saying that the Trinidadian rapper is not innocent. The blogger, Marley Green, is accusing Nicki of setting her fans on her who are sending her death threats.

On Wednesday, Minaj’s lawyer Judd Burstein filed a lawsuit against Marley Green, who has a show called “The Nosey Heaux” on YouTube, after she claimed that the rapper uses cocaine and she has a video to prove it. After reports of the lawsuit were dropped, Green popped up on an Instagram blog comment section claiming she was a victim of threats from Nicki Minaj.

“Actually Nicki doxxed me and is sending people to threaten my life. Maybe get the full story @theneighborhoodtalk before posting?” she commented.

Nicki Minaj responded to Green, where she rubbished her claim and said she was making another false allegation that would be used in the court case. “That’s another false allegation you just made. That, in addition to all the new lies you said with Sherell will probably cost you AND her more than you know,” the rapper responded to the comment.

“I thought she was a classy woman but she seemed to be justifying the filth. Allegedly. So now…. Welp…. BYE MARLEY!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,” Minaj said.

The lawsuit stems from claims by Marley that Minaj uses cocaine which she insinuated was the reason behind the rapper going off on several people, including Garcelle Beauvais, over the weekend. Green also made several disparaging comments against Minaj, her two-year-old child, and her husband. “Nicki Minaj is a cokehead, we all see it,” she said.

Green also took credit in other videos for the hashtag #ItsGivingCoke referring to Nicki Minaj on Twitter. In other comments, she said, “Child, the whole bloodline including the baby, the whole bloodline including the f**king new baby, chile she needs to get that baby in, I don’t care, I don’t care like I said, I’m not gonna get up here and be fake for nobody, I’m not gonna be PG13, I’m not gonna be censored for nobody, I’m always gonna stand true to who I am, people f**k with me for that reason,” Green says.

“Because I’m not gonna get up here and tiptoe and dance around, cause people mad, let muthf**kers be mad, I don’t give a damn, file your lawsuit. Your baby’s gonna be a rapist too. Your whole blood line is disgusting including your baby and you need to be trying to get some of that rapist mixture out of your baby before he grows up to harm somebody’s daughter or son. Get that baby in therapy,” she continued.

“You are trash, your husband’s trash, your brother is trash, your momma is trash, your daddy the dead one and living both of them is trash and before that baby grows up and be trash you better get that baby some help,” she said.

Meanwhile, social media users also responded to Minaj’s lawsuit, with some on the side of the rapper while others disagreed.

“You just said to Garcelle 2 days ago ‘If u can’t stand the heat get tf out the kitchen’ What happened to that mentality? And everyone knows I send your fans to harass people,” one person said in a comment on Instagram.

“Girl you are finally getting what you deserve. All that hate you have in your heart is sad. Ima still pray for you and hope you get the help you need. Evil never prospers,” one person told Green.

“AND SHE NOT THE ONLY ONE GETTING SUED (delete all you want) !!! just first in line. The disgusting things she said about PaPa Bear made my stomach turn. She was insinuated Nicki was on drugs while she was pregnant and breastfeeding. And if I may quote her ‘and what she gonna do about it?’ Well,” another person said.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Ex-Best Friend To Testify As Tory Lanez Trial Postponed

Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez were back in court on Wednesday along with her ex-best friend Kelsey Harris, also known as Kelsey Nicole.

The September trial for the felony assault charges against Tory Lanez has been put off until later in 2022. On Wednesday, lawyers for the parties attended court, including Kelsey Nicole, Megan Thee Stallion’s ex-bestie, who is called as a prosecution witness in the case. However, the matter was put off due to Lanez’s attorney being unable to attend the trial, and the sitting judge was also occupied with another matter.

At the pre-trial hearing in late July, Lanez’s lawyer, Shawn Holley, had requested that the trial date be postponed due to her appearance in another unrelated matter.

However, the judge did not make an order as to the request except to say that the parties would reconvene to see if anything had changed.

According to Rolling Stone senior reporter Nancy Dillon on Wednesday (September 14), the judge who is presiding over the matter is involved in a different trial.

The matter was not eventually heard as the trial date was proposed to reset to between November 28 and December 8. Dillon noted that there were objections from prosecutors because Lanez’s lawyer is separately involved in an arbitration matter that would affect her being able to be in court for Lanez’s hearing any sooner.

In the meantime, jury selection is expected to start on December 5. One of the prosecution witnesses, Kelsey Harris, was seen attending court although Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion were not seen in court on Wednesday.

According to the reporter, Kelsey Harris, who was seen being escorted out of the Los Angeles courthouse, was ordered to return to court on December 9, where she will appear as a witness for the prosecution.

Harris is said to be the only eyewitness in the alleged shooting that occurred in 2020. Thee Stallion alleges that Lanez shot her after a fight in the SUV the three were traveling in.

Tory Lanez is on trial for one count of felony assault with a semiautomatic firearm. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges and has continuously maintained that he was innocent of the charges.

Megan Thee Stallion, on the other hand, has accused Harris of accepting hush money from Lanez to keep quiet about how she was shot. She also alleged in recent statements that he begged her not to speak to the police and offered her $1 million to keep her silence.

Police Shared Robbers Found PnB Rock Using Instagram

Los Angeles Police are feverishly searching for the killer of rapper PnB Rock who was shot and killed on Monday. In statements to the media, LAPD Police Chief Michel Moore says that posts on Instagram may have led to the rapper being targeted for a robbery.

PnB Rock was shot and killed at a Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles restaurant in Inglewood, California, while they dined in the restaurant. Rock was shot multiple times after a lone gunman demanded his gold and diamond chains and a Rolex watch he was wearing.

Moore says that while Rock’s girlfriend and mother of one of his children is not to be blamed, the incident seems to have occurred after both the rapper and his girlfriend posted that they were in the area.

According to the police Chief, Rock had shared several posts on Instagram while in the back parking lot in their Cadillac that they were at Roscoe’s. Reports are that PnB Rock had shared he was at Roscoe’s for about 45 minutes prior to the shooting.

There are four Roscoe’s in the Inglewood area, but Cops believe that the suspect had been watching PnB’s Instagram account and then went to his girlfriend’s account, where she had tagged the exact restaurant location that they were at in an Instagram Story.

“The target was expensive jewelry and property that he had on his person. We believe a senseless murder occurred following a posting on Instagram,” Moore said as he emphasized that criminals were using social media to survey potential victims.

In the meantime, police are still investigating the murder, and they have warned pawn shops to be on the lookout for any suspect who may try to sell the jewelry that was taken from the rapper.

In a statement, the police released brief details on what took place on Monday saying that the rapper was killed in a robbery while dining when he was approached by one suspect while another waited in a car in the parking lot. Cops say Allen was shot multiple times after the robber demanded items from him.

“There was a verbal exchange, and the suspect shot the victim multiple times,” police said. “The suspect appears to remove some items and fled the location. The suspect entered a vehicle waiting in the parking lot that fled in an unknown direction.”

Police said PnB Rock was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead at 2 PM on Monday, September 12, 2022.

In the meantime, the rapper continues to be mourned by many across the industry, even as other celebrities share words of advice for others not to wear excessive jewelry or to share their locations or even looks of what their homes look like to give thieves ideas.

On Tuesday, PnB’s label Atlantic Records memorialized the late rapper in a statement saying he was much more than a artist.

“He was also a wonderful father to two beautiful little girls,” Atlantic said in a statement sent to Urban Islandz. “This news is heavy on our hearts and we are all hurting over this senseless loss.”

In the meantime, Rock’s girlfriend Stephanie Sibounheaung is not a suspect, but she is assisting with investigations, police say.

Nicki Minaj Makes Passionate Plea To Rappers After PnB Rock’s Death

As the hip-hop is mourning the shocking loss of PnB Rock, who was fatally shot at a Roscoe’s Waffle House in L.A. on Monday, fans’ eyes have turned to Nicki Minaj’s Twitter rant, in particular her response to the murder.

Soon after the news was confirmed of his untimely passing, Nicki Minaj took to Twitter to offer her condolences and share her pain at the loss with her more than 26 million fans. The message seemed innocent enough but, for some reason, drew the ire of some fans while others praised her stance.

“After Pop Smoke there’s no way we as rappers or our loved ones are still posting locations to our whereabouts. To show waffles & some fried chicken????! He was such a pleasure to work with. Condolences to his mom & family. This makes me feel so sick. Jesus,” she tweeted.

The anger came from some fans who felt she was indirectly blaming the fallen rapper’s girlfriend, who shared their location while eating. Something that has not yet been blamed in any way for the “Misunderstood” rapper’s demise.

Nicki Minaj, who is known for being very interactive on her social media channels, responded to the backlash and tried to explain that her message wasn’t supposed to stir up a hornet’s nest but rather remind rappers that they are often looked at with jealousy and in some cases violent eyes.

“As a RAPPER & as a MOTHER. I know 1st hand how these guys feel coming from the streets then being able to provide for their moms. My heart is hurting for the MOTHERS OF THESE KIDS that tried to make something better of their lives!!! LETS EDUCATE ASAP!!!” she said in one tweet.

In another, she explained that there could never be a wrong time to put forward a positive message. For her, all that matters is if at least one young rapper could be saved. She also lashed out at the hate she was getting and said she really didn’t care about all the negativity surrounding her comments.

The “Starships” rapper also said that those commenting couldn’t possibly understand her pain because she is in the industry. She added that it was a different kind of pain a person feels when someone they were just working with gets gunned down. At the end of that tweet, she also said that all she really cared about was saving young rappers.

The “Anaconda” rapper also said that it was time that the people around young rappers take better care of their safety and remind them that there may be people out there who want to take them down.

In recent times fans have been pitting Nicki Minaj against Cardi B, and this time was no different as some fans commented that Cardi’s expression of condolences was much better worded.

“I highly doubt n***as was looking at PMB’s babymom IG. He was in a bad location and people stay outside plotting. It’s very irresponsible and inconsiderate to blame her for something so tragic. We should be sending nothing but love to her and his family at this time,” Cardi also posted.

PnB Rock’s murder further reinforces Jim Jones’ statement that being a rapper is the most dangerous job.
