    Complex reports that Brooklyn rapper, Bobby Shmurda, whose real name is Ackquille Pollard, agreed to a plea deal offered by prosecutors, accepting a seven-year prison sentence.  Santino Broderick and Nicolas McCoy are two members of Shmurda’s GS9 (G-Stones 90’s) gang being mentioned in numerous reports.

    On Friday, September 9, 2016, Shmurda’s GS9 brother, Nicolas McCoy, also agreed to seven years in prison.  McCoy goes by the nicknames “Montana Flea” and “Monty.” On December 17, 2014, when cops raided Quad Studios in Manhattan, Bobby and Nicolas nearly got away.  They left the studio but were stopped in a vehicle a few blocks away.  McCoy’s mugshot is outlined below:

    Santino Broderick aka “Cueno” decided not to accept the plea deal offered to him on Friday.  His mugshot is outlined in the image above.  Unlike his fellow GS9 members, he was offered a 15-year plea deal.  He faces numerous charges including attempted murder, conspiracy and criminal use of a firearm.
    On Friday, Santino was overheard discussing the deal with his lawyer.  He was very upset, explaining to his attorney that his life was over.  His lawyer, Kevin Canfield, tried to convince him that 15 years was better than 80 but Broderick decided to try his luck.  He will stand trial next week.

    “Good Dre Hunting” starts with Bow announcing that she’s going to therapy.  Andre and his mom laugh at Bow because “black people have gotten along just fine without therapy.” As a black man, Dre has his own ways of coping with drama.  He’s seen losing his temper on numerous occasions.

    Bow tells Dre that he needs therapy but he initially disagrees.  Dre and his mother tell Bow all the reasons that she needs therapy, including the ghosts of all her dead patients and the fact that her children don’t need her anymore.  Blackish is one of the best shows on television!

    Black Ink Crew is back and better than ever.  The season 5 premiere “Hail Ceaser!” starts with a party at Ceaser’s new shop.  Ceaser appoints Teddy the executive manager of his shop on 113th Street.  Ceaser is taking over New York, one shop at a time.  The Black Ink Crew has come a very long way and Ceaser knows that the sky is the limit.

     

    Speaking of Sky, she wasn’t too happy after Ceaser appointed Teddy the executive manager.  She explains that Teddy hasn’t been working hard and doesn’t understand why Ceaser chose him instead of her.  Sky even says that if she had a BB gun, she would shoot both Teddy and Ceaser.  We believe her.

    Sky from Black Ink Crew’s Snapchat name is FlyyyTattedSky:

    Sky isn’t the only person that questions Ceaser’s decision making.  Dutchess also calls Ceaser out for making the wrong decision.  She thinks Teddy may have pulled a Bill Cosby on Ceaser.  Dutchess thinks that Teddy will ruin the 113th shop.

     

     
    Sky was born and raised in Harlem while Ted is from the Bronx.  Sky and Ted had a brief romantic relationship.  Despite their breakup, they’re still close friends.  Ceaser’s decision to appoint Ted the executive manager of the shop on 113th Street could cause beef between Sky and Ted.

  • Ronda – Being Mary Jane

    Ronda – Being Mary Jane

    Ronda Sales on Being Mary Jane is played by Valarie Pettiford.  She was born on July 8, 1960 and is currently 56-years-old.  Pettiford grew up in Queens, New York and graduated from the High School of Performing Arts.  Like Gabrielle Union, Valarie is married to a professional athlete.  From 2001 to 2006, Union was married to former NFL player, Chris Howard.

    Gabrielle married NBA player, Dwyane Wade in 2014.  Pettiford is married to former MLB player, Tony Rader.  He is also an actor and Pettiford’s manager.  Unlike Mary Jane and Ronda, Gabrielle and Valarie chose great husbands.  In episode 2 of Being Mary Jane‘s fourth season, “Getting Naked” we find out that Ronda’s husband, Ellison, is cheating on her and stealing money from her foundation.

    We’re not certain if Ronda knew about her husband’s actions.  Ronda is very smart and could be in an open relationship with Ellison.  When Mary Jane sees Ellison with his blonde girlfriend, Ellison doesn’t seem to be ashamed of his relationship.  If Ellison were cheating, he would most likely be more secretive.

    Ronda plays no games.  She doesn’t waste time hiring Justin after Mary Jane crosses her.  Ronda will most likely attempt to convince Mary Jane that she hired Justin to inspire her.  Justin did Mary Jane wrong and she continues to hold a grudge against him.

    Dominique Penn – Camilla, BGC Baby Daddy, Donald

    Camilla Poindexter from Bad Girls Club is seen in the Instagram video below calling out her baby daddy, Donald Penn.  The NFL star currently plays for the Oakland Raiders.  Donald is married to Dominique Penn, who obviously wasn’t happy when she found out that he cheated on her and got Camilla pregnant.

    Donald hasn’t been honest about his relationship with Camilla.  In the video below, Poindexter calls Donald out for failing to come see their daughter.  The Bad Girls Club star has to pull her car over to fully air Donald out.  Dominique has insulted Camilla but she should be focused on Donald and the fact that he cheated on her.

    On October 20, 2016, Dominique filed for divorce. She requested spousal support along with joint custody of the 3 kids they have together.  It now looks like Dominique and Donald are attempting to work things out.  Sorry Dominique, been there, done that.

    A video posted by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) on Jan 18, 2017 at 10:32am PST

    Camilla will ensure that Dominique and Donald’s relationship won’t work.  There is nothing Dominique can do to make Camilla go away.  The smartest thing Dominique could do is divorce Donald and move on.

    Camilla has already ruined Donald and Dominique’s marriage.  Next, Dominique will start imagining the details of Donald and Camilla’s sexual intercourse.  Dominique should quit while she’s ahead.  Do you agree? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

    Corey – Being Mary Jane, Travis Winfrey, Omar On Single Ladies, Gay?

    Travis Winfrey plays Corey on Being Mary Jane, Mary Jane’s (Gabrielle Union) love interest.  If he looks familiar it’s because he played Omar Kearse on Single Ladies.  Omar is a gay employee at a boutique but in reality Travis is not gay.  He auditioned to play a straight character on the series and was offered the opportunity to play a gay character.

    Many actors would have turned down the opportunity but not Travis.  In Being Mary Jane season 4, episode 2, “Getting Naked” we find out that Ronda’s husband, Ellison is a cheater.  Ronda is as sharp as they come.  When Mary Jane tells her about her husband’s foul ways, she moves fast to create a lie and protect herself.

    Travis came and went, before Mary Jane could make him her Black Unicorn.  As soon as Ronda hears about the information that Mary Jane has discovered, she turns the story around and throws Corey under the bus.

    Ronda announced that an associate has been embezzling money from her charity.  Corey tells Mary Jane that he’s the associate.  Ronda forces him to take the fall.

    Mary Jane almost ruined her relationship with Lee, the comedian, to pursue Corey.  Unlike Lee, Corey doesn’t have any children.

  • Review: ‘Hidden Figures’ Is A Must-See Movie

    Review: ‘Hidden Figures’ Is A Must-See Movie

    Empire may be on hiatus, but Taraji P. Henson is currently ruling the box office. She stars as brilliant NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson in the film Hidden Figures, which has topped the Hollywood box office for two weeks, beating films like Live By Night (starring Ben Affleck) and Oscar-favorite La La Land.

    Hidden Figures is the first film starring multiple female leads to top the box office since 2011’s The Help, so the film has made history while telling an inspirational often-untold story from actual history.

    Hidden Figures follows Katherine, along with her colleagues: aspiring engineer Mary Jackson (Janelle Monae) and aspiring supervisor Dorothy Vaughn (Octavia Spencer) as they try to overcome the obstacles society has put in their path in 1961 as women of color. It’s a movie that will have you tearing up from happiness by the end. Yes, it’s that good. Seriously, from the opening scene, I was hooked. The film both reminds us how far we have come, but also how much sadly hasn’t changed (especially in light of the upcoming presidential inauguration).

    For those used to watching Henson as Cookie Lyon, Katherine is a much different character for her. As Katherine, Henson is earnest, bites her tongue, and is forced to prove herself to Al Harrison (Kevin Costner) and Paul Stafford (played by Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons), but she does get to express her inner Cookie in a scene in the middle of the movie that’ll have you cheering.

    With Oscar buzz building, Hidden Figures is definitely a must-see movie this awards season.

  • Amanda Parker – Ayesha Curry Twin

    Amanda Parker – Ayesha Curry Twin

    Amanda Parker is the beautiful woman who looks like Ayesha Curry.  The Shade Room’s Instagram post below explains that Parker was fat-shamed by an ignorant Twitter user who called her “AyEatcha Curry.” Amanda responded to the user and the post went viral.  Ayesha stepped in, complimenting Parker’s beauty.

    The Curry family is winning.  2017 has been a great year.  Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors destroyed the Cleveland Cavaliers last night.  The final score was 126 to 91 and Curry dropped 20 points.  We’re glad Ayesha stopped commenting on Stephen’s games.  She doing a much better job on social media lately.

    Like the good mother and wife Ayesha is, she’s always on her husband’s side.  After Golden State lost a few games to the Cavaliers last season, she let her emotions get the best of her and called out the NBA.

    We like the Ayesha when she sends tweets like the one above!

    TSR STAFF: Talia O. @theclosetratchet on Instagram and @tallyohhh on Twitter _________________________________ #Roommates, are any of you plus size? As a plus size woman myself, I have had my share of fat shaming comments and I haven’t always been confident enough to defend myself. I can’t say the same for a young lady named Amanda Parker (@amandaparrker). She has recently gone viral after a young man fat-shamed her on Twitter. _________________________________ Since she bares a striking resemblance to #AyeshaCurry, a Twitter user named Christian shared a picture of Amanda and captioned it “AyEatcha Curry.” It was only a matter of time before Amanda saw the viral tweet and her response was nothing short of classy. She tweeted back, “Nope. It’s actually Amanda Parker. @ me next time” and soon after, she went viral all over again. _________________________________ We asked Amanda how she reacted upon seeing Christian’s tweet and she said, “At first I wasn’t going to respond, because I want going to give him the attention, but when I saw the retweets I decided — Read More At TheShadeRoom.com

    Social media is still somewhat new to the world but trolls are quickly learning that being mean won’t be tolerated.  The Internet is a resource that can be harmful when used inappropriately.  Think before you send that next tweet.  Treat people how you want to be treated and you’ll be fine!

    Cameron Tucker – Atlanta, Logan Braatz, Pit Bull Attack

    Scroll down for information on Cameron Tucker.

    Bethany Stephens is another woman who was recently attacked and killed by her pit bulls.  People reports that the incident occurred when she was taking her dogs out for a walk.  Like Logan Braatz (discussed below), Stephens passed away.

    Cameron Tucker

    Cameron Tucker was arrested on Tuesday, January 17, 2017 in Atlanta after his pit bull attacked Logan Braatz.  The dog also attacked Syari Sanders and several additional young children.  Sadly, Logan was killed.  The incident occurred early, while the kids were walking to school.  This won’t help pit bull lovers.

    They say a dog’s only as good as its owner.  Cameron Tucker clearly wasn’t a good owner.  Witnesses say three pit bulls attacked three children on Gideons Dr. SW.  Officers were forced to shoot and kill one of the three dogs.  When a pit bull is confined, and trained to be aggressive, it has the ability to do what it did today.

    The following image shows Logan and Syari.

    The woman in the following video explains that when she saw Syari, she knew there was nothing she could do for her.

    The older students attempted to get the dogs off the younger students.  Several neighbors also tried to help but they could only do so much.  Several residents responded with baseball bats, brooms and knives.
    One of the neighbors explains that he carried Logan to the ambulance.  It was very disturbing for him to have to carry a lifeless body.  What should we do about pit bulls? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

    Nelly Vs. Drake – Debate, Twitter Trends, Poll

    A Drake vs. Nelly debate is currently trending on social media.  Why? Because why not? The older Millennials are constantly arguing with the young Millennials on Twitter.  The older heads are bringing up timeless Nelly tracks like “Dilemma”, “Ride With Me” and “Hot In Here.”  Many younger Millennials are listening to unforgettable Nelly tracks for the first time.

    Younger Millennials are discussing some of Drake’s best songs, including “Hotline Bling”, “Started From The Bottom” and “Headlines.” It’s difficult to believe that Nelly is 42-years-old.  He paved the way for Drake.  Aubrey just turned 30.  These debates are always hilarious.  The Internet is constantly dragging Drake into beef.

    The following tweet explains that Nelly’s Country Grammar album was certified Diamond in 2016.  Nelly released the album in 2000, before streams counted.

    Who can forget Nelly’s classic song “Tip Drill”!? If you didn’t watch BET Uncut, you don’t know anything about “Tip Drill”…”It must be her…cause it ain’t her face…!”

    Did Nelly just win the debate?

    Who can forget Murphy Lee!?

    Nelly is receiving all the love on social media.  Comedian, Kevin Hart, has embraced him and he’s made several appearances on Real Husbands of Hollywood.
