Karim Kharbouch aka rapper, French Montana, plays Vaughn on the Empire TV show. The 31-year-old was born in Morocco and moved to New York when he was 13-years-old. On the show, he plays a music mogul who is a part of Lucious Lyon’s dominant inner circle. We’ve seen numerous pictures of the rapper on the set of the show with Bryan “Baby” Williams who plays himself on the series.
Similar to Lucious Lyon, French has had an interesting love life. The rapper has a son with his ex-wife, Deen Kharbouch. French has been linked to rapper, Trina in the past. The former couple lived together at one point. In 2014, after he broke up with Trina he began dating Khloe Kardashian. Him and Kim eventually broke up and he’s been single since.
Who Plays Vaughn On Empire? French Montana
The rapper has been through it all! In 2003 he survived a gunshot to the head! One of French’s closest associates is Max B. Complex explains that Montana recently confirmed some very exciting news about Max. The Harlem rapper’s 75-year sentence was reduced and he could be out in two years!
Montana signed a deal with both Bad Boy and Maybach Music in 2012. Unlike many of Diddy’s past artists it looks like the rapper is actually receiving his money. Rick Ross has insulted Birdman for the way that he has handled the Lil’ Wayne situation. We’re guessing the Biggest Boss won’t let Diddy do Montana wrong. We look forward to seeing the rapper in future episodes of the series!
We haven’t seen Teairra Mari this season on Love and Hip Hop Hollywood. On the sixth episode of season 3, “I Want It All” we find out about her legal troubles. Last year, the singer got into a fight with an Uber driver over an iPhone charger. I have friends that act selfish with their chargers but I don’t punch them!
The singer asked the driver if she could use his charger and he said no. Teairra clearly had some important text messages she wanted to send because she punched the driver and snatched his charger. The Love and Hip Hop Hollywood star was on one that night! The driver pulls over and tells her to get out and the Detroit native refused to exit the vehicle until the cops showed up.
Teairra Mari Going To Jail, Arrested
Last week, a judge called a mistrial because he became sick. If convicted, the singer could be sentenced to more than two years in prison but we doubt that will happen. Hopefully she’ll get community service which could motivate her to get back in the studio. Her trial was rescheduled to November.
We’re so glad to see the singer receiving more screen time on the reality show. We’ve watched her help Nikki Mudarris out with her love triangle problems with Rosa Acosta and Safaree Samuels but Mari can bring so much more to the series. You can’t forget that Jay-Z introduced the world to the singer and she had some hits back in the day!
Fans of Dancing with the Stars, who have never heard of Amber Rose, have been wondering if she’s black. The model, whose real name is Amber Levonchuck, is biracial. She is Black, Portuguese, Irish and Italian. Her mother, Dorothy Rose, is of Cape Verdean and Scottish descent. Her father, Michael Levonchuck, is Irish and Italian.
Dancing with the Stars isn’t the only new venture for the talk show host. In Kanye West’s song, “No More Parties In LA” the rapper states, “I remember Amber told my boy no matter what happens she ain’t going back to Philly.” Essence reports that Rose recently announced that she’ll be the new face of the fashion brand, Missguided.
Is Amber Rose Black?
The 32-year-old refuses to take a day off as she balances a very busy schedule. Some forget that she is also an actress, appearing in numerous films, including Sister Code, School Dance and Gang of Roses 2: Next Generation. Hopefully she’s making free time to spend with her son!
Her appearance on Dancing with the Stars has also brought some negative attention which Amber is used to. Some fans of the competition can’t get over the fact that she if a former stripper. When you’re from a city like Philadelphia, you know exactly how to turn life’s lemons into lemonade. Amber has been using the skills she gained from being a stripper to excel on Dancing with the Stars, and we love it!
In Love and Hip Hop Hollywood season 3 episode 6, “I Want It All” Brandi Boyd refers to Beyoncé as her ace boon coon aka her best friend. It all went down during an argument between Brandi and Masika Kalysha, Fetty Wap’s baby mother. Masika and Max Lux Boyd are having a studio session when Brandi shows up.
According to Celeb Dirty Laundry Brandi is still trying to regain Max’s trust after using the money that he gave her for their son to open a clothing store, Jhalae. She thinks that showing Max how much money she has earned will make him respect her again. When Brandi arrives at the studio she’s surprised and upset to find her husband working on a track with Masika.
Brandi Boyd And Beyonce
Brandi demands an explanation and calls Masika out for trying to sleep with her husband’s best friend. Masika explains that Max’s friend was actually trying to sleep with her. The two continue to exchange words and then Brandi mentions Beyoncé. We think she was trying to compare the singer’s song, “Sorry” to the situation, Masika is essentially “Becky with the good hair.”
Masika argues that Queen Bey isn’t Brandi’s girl and Boyd claps back, explaining that the singer is her “ace boon coon.” Masika apologizes for being confused and failing to get in Formation. For the record, we’re almost 100% sure that Brandi has never met Beyoncé but we love it!
Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds and Allison Hooker’s Dancing With The Stars‘ performance was amazing. The duo delivered an Argentine Tango set to the X-Files theme. One person that we know was proud is Babyface’s wife, Nicole “Nikki” Pantenburg. Nikki is actually a former backup dancer for Janet Jackson who she is also personal friends with.
From 1992-2007 Babyface was married to media mogul, Tracey Edmonds. After the couple’s divorce, Kenneth began dating Nicole. A year later they welcomed a beautiful baby girl. In 2014, the couple got married. Here’s a picture of the couple with their daughter, Peyton Nicole Edmonds:
Who Is Babyface Married To? Nicole Nikki Pantenburg
Kenneth was born on April 10, 1959 and is currently 57-years-old whereas Nicole was born on May 10, 1973, making her 43-years-old. In 1997 Pantenburg appeared in Michael Jackson’s short horror film, “Ghosts.” Back in 1996 she made several appearances, as Teresa, on the television series Moesha.
Besides Babyface, we’ve loved watching Amber Rose, Vanilla Ice and Laurie Hernandez compete on the show. The competition always features a variety of contestants forcing us to wonder what they talk about. What does Amber Rose and Laurie Hernandez have a conversation about!? Let us know in the comment section below.
Love and Hip Hop Hollywood season 3, episode 6, “I Want It All” featured Rosa Acosta and Nikki Mudarris being caught by Nikki’s boyfriend, Safaree Samuels. We recently shared before and after pictures of Ray J’s wife, Princess Love but she’s not the only one on the show that has had plastic surgery.
The images below show Rosa Acosta before she got her butt implants. Unlike most celebrities the model isn’t ashamed of her plastic surgery. That’s probably why Nikki likes her so much. Acosta has explained that her workout routine would cause her to have a unattractive body. She goes hard in the gym and has a low body fat percentage which led her to have a flat chest and muscular butt.
Rosa Acosta Young
The model’s look was acceptable in the Dominican Republic but after she moved to America she noticed that thick women were receiving all the attention. As a result, Acosta decided to transform her body and now she looks gorgeous. Unlike some women that get plastic surgery Rosa didn’t get carried away.
I think once a woman starts changing the appearance of her lips, they need to stop immediately. Acosta and Princess Love don’t have that problem. Hopefully they are fully aware of how beautiful they are. Neither lady needs any additional work done!
Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter has done it again. The classic lyrics the rapper has created over the years continue to dominate pop culture. The most recent example was seen at the 2016 Emmy Awards. When Sterling K. Brown accepted his award for best supporting actor he proclaimed that he’s got the hottest chick in the game wearing his chain.
Jay-Z wrote the lyric to describe Beyoncé. It’s from his 2003 release, The Black Album. It’s amazing to see how influential the rapper has been. The song was a major hit over 10 years ago and every one remembers the lyric like the song was released yesterday!
I Got The Hottest Chick In The Game Wearing My Chain Lyrics
In the following video, producer, Just Blaze explains how him and Jay-Z created the amazing track:
Jay Z Public Service Announcement
This is a public service announcement
Sponsored by Just Blaze and the good folks at Roc-A-Fella Records
[Just Blaze]
Fellow Americans, it is with the utmost pride and sincerity that I present this recording as a living testament and recollection of history in the making during our generation
Allow me to re-introduce myself
My name is Hov, OH, H-to-the-O-V
I used to move snowflakes by the O-Z
I guess even back then you can call me
CEO of the R-O-C, Hov!
Fresh out the fryin’ pan into the fire
I be the music biz number one supplier
Flyer than a piece of paper bearin’ my name
Got the hottest chick in the game wearin’ my chain, that’s right
Hov, OH—not D.O.C
But similar to them letters, “No One Can Do it Better”
I check cheddar like a food inspector
My homey Strick told me, “Dude finish your breakfast”
So that’s what I’ma do, take you back to the dude
With the Lexus, fast-forward the jewels and the necklace
Let me tell you dudes what I do to protect this
I shoot at you actors like movie directors {*laughing*}
This ain’t a movie, dog (oh shit)
Now before I finish, let me just say I did not come here to show out, did not come here to impress you. Because to tell you the truth when I leave here I’m GONE!
And I don’t care WHAT you think about me—but just remember, when it hits the fan, brother, whether it’s next year, ten years, twenty years from now, you’ll never be able to say that these brothers lied to you JACK!
Thing ain’t lie
I done came through the block in everything that’s fly
I’m like Che Guevara with bling on, I’m complex
I never claimed to have wings on
Nigga, I get my “by any means” on whenever there’s a drought
Get your umbrellas out because that’s when I brainstorm
You can blame Shawn, but I ain’t invent the game
I just rolled the dice, trying to get some change
And I’d do it twice, ain’t no sense in me
Lying as if I am a different man
And I could blame my environment but
There ain’t no reason why I be buying expensive chains
Hope you don’t think users are the only abusers
Niggas getting high within the game
If you do then, how would you explain?
I’m ten years removed, still the vibe is in my veins
I got a hustler spirit, nigga, period
Check out my hat yo, peep the way I wear it
Check out my swag’ yo, I walk like a ballplayer
No matter where you go, you are what you are player
And you can try to change but that’s just the top layer
Man, you was who you was ‘fore you got here
Only God can judge me, so I’m gone
Either love me, or leave me alone
Now, back to our regularly scheduled program, L’Album Noir: The Black Album
The rumor that rapper, Jay-Z, is Hakeem from Empire‘s father, is one we want to believe yet it’s not true. The story works and it just seems to make perfect sense. First, there’s the fact that Bryshere Y. Gray never talks about the identity of his father. If there’s one person with enough money to keep people’s mouth shut, it’s Shawn Carter.
The story is also believable because people no long trust Jay-Z. The rapper’s wife, Beyonce, is responsible for that. The rapper wife, Beyoncé is responsible for that. In her song “Sorry” from her 2016 album, Lemonade, she advises a cheater to call “Becky with the good hair.” The lyric led many to believe that the rapper cheated on his wife, making him less trustworthy.
Hakeem From Empire Jay Z Son
Throughout Carter’s career, there have been rumors that he’s fathered multiple children. The Brooklyn native has always denied these reports and his fans have trusted him. Beyoncé’s “Sorry” lyrics changed how much we can trust the rapper’s word.
Bryshere Y. Gray was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA, a city where Jay-Z has spent a substantial amount of time. In the 1990s, Carter built Roc-A-Fella Records and he had multiple artists from Philadelphia. Beanie Sigel, Freeway and the Young Gunz were some of his recording artists from Philadelphia. Despite these facts, the rapper is not Hakeem from Empire‘s father.
Basketball Wives LA star, Angel Brinks, recently posted a picture of her beautiful daughter, Amina. NBA basketball player, Tyreke Evans, is Amina’s father. She looks exactly like her mother. On Basketball Wives LA season 5 episode 10 we saw Angel receive a custom grill from DJ Duffey and Brandi Maxiell.
Angel was super-excited when she got the grill despite the fact that it had Tyreke’s name on it. Although Evans is Angel’s baby daddy, the two are not in a relationship. The New Orleans Pelicans guard recently suffered a knee injury that could cause him to miss the entire 2016-2017 season.
Tyreke Evans Daughter
While Evans will still receive his salary, the injury reminds us how important it is for basketball wives to be working women. That’s why we love seeing Angel Brinks use the reality series as a platform to market her brand. The same is true for every cast member on the series. Some have even included their children in their business ventures.
Those NBA checks won’t be coming forever and it’s so important to build your brand while the world is watching. Amina is in good arms because she has a hard working mother and father. Shaunie O’Neal is doing a magnificent job creating opportunities for the families of NBA players and we can’t stop watching!
In Basketball Wives LA season 5 episode 10 Jackie Christie introduced many of us to a Water Monkey. Every time I think I’m done with Jackie Christie she pulls something brilliant out her hat. If anyone think you’re watching too much television let them know that you learn new valuable information from the shows you watch.
In Chinese astrology the Water Monkey is an observant, multi-talented individual who is very creative. Despite all the alcohol she consumes, Jackie is actually smart, as proven by her reference to such an incredible animal. Moreover, Christie has a full understanding of what she needs to do to keep people watching the Basketball Wives LA.
Water Monkey Basketball Wives LA Jackie Christie
Christie knows that she messed up at Angel Brinks’ event but she’s definitely not the type to just admit that she was wrong. When Angel brings up Jackie’s recent actions, Christie starts providing horrible excuses. That’s when Angel Love jumps in and we get one of Jackie’s best quotes of all time.
Angel Love wants an explanation from Christie, as well. Jackie explains that she told Angel Love to take her shoes off at the event because she knows that she’s like a water monkey with her shoes off! I watched the scene three times…Yes, that is exactly what she said!
