  • Will Smith Net Worth 2018, Jada Pinkett – Tyrese $5 Million, Reactions

    Will Smith Net Worth 2018, Jada Pinkett – Tyrese $5 Million, Reactions

    In the Instagram post below, Tyrese Gibson explains that Will and Jada Pinkett Smith gave him $5 million to help him pay his legal fees.  The Smiths asked Tyrese to stay offline now that his legal fees are paid and Tyrese says that he will listen.  Will and Jada don’t need anymore money and they clearly felt sorry for Tyrese.

    How much is Will Smith worth as of 2017? $265 Million

    Will Smith’s $265 net worth has been earned through years and years of dedication to his craft.  If you’ve heard Will’s responses to interview questions then you fully understand why he’s successful.  The actor is willing to die on the treadmill.  Tyrese is confident but at times, he can be arrogant.

    Will Smith gives Tyrese a reality check

    A check for $5 million isn’t the only check Gibson has received from Will.  Filmmaker, Michael Bay has worked with both Smith and Gibson.  Bay worked with Smith on the original Bad Boys and Bad Boys 2.  Tyrese and Michael worked together on Transformers and Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen.

    1 day at a time as I recover it’s always emotional when you send your little one home but it’s school time…….. we’ve spent another 3 weeks together – part 2 of extended daddy daughter summer breaks! The start of 4th grade and I just wanted all the parents to know our little ones are angels having 2 surgeries in 4 days and my wife also having a surgery ( who’s a real trooper and GEM of a lady )…. my little one to been by our side smiling, massaging my head and feet, making me soup and just wanting to keep my spirits up was like felt like I had an angel with me everyday………… Safe travels back to LA my angel I will see you soon as I can get to you………. #DaddysAngel family and health crises develop character, puts things into perspective and takes family bonding with your little ones into new heights…….. #GodBlessOurLittleAngels may the lord extend his love over your mind and spirit….

    Tyrese made several mistakes during the filming of Transformers and Bay knew Smith could help him.  Will Smith’s time is money.  He could have easily told Michael that he didn’t have any free time to meet with Gibson but instead he decided to help Tyrese out.  Will Smith loves to give and he truly cares about the well-being of others.

    How much is Jada Pinkett Smith worth as of 2017? $22 Million

    Like Will, Jada Pinkett Smith’s $22 million net worth was earned through decades of hard work.  She began acting in 1990 and since then, she has appeared in more than 20 films.  Jada is best known for her roles in Set It Off, The Matrix Reloaded and Girls Trip.  Will and Jada aren’t the only money makers in their family.  Their kids, Jaden and Willow have also enjoyed success in the entertainment industry.
    When we show UP for each-other there’s nothing that can’t be done I️ repeat nothing…… My wife kept the news away from me cause I’ve been on with lawyers all day but our family and our sister Jada-Pinkett Smith and my brother Will Smith just sent us 5 million dollars to help keep us afloat- You’ve guys asked me to get off and stay off the Internet now that my daughters legal fees will be paid I️ will listen…..

    A few days before sharing the above post, Tyrese shared the following post showing that he was on the phone with Jada:

    Sometimes you just need 1 phone call……….. Just know that God is the greatest…… They don’t want any love….. They told me to go easy…. just know that it’s just good to know there’s still some really nice sincere people out here…… Jada-Pinkett-Smith and my hero WILL SMITH…..

  • Lil Pump Snapchat Name

    Lil Pump Snapchat Name

    Scroll to the Snapcode for Lil Pump’s Snapchat name!

    Lil Pump’s single “Gucci Gang” earned him a spot on the Billboard list.  He replaced A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie for the number 1 spot on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart.  Lil Pump released his self-titled debut album a month ago and he’s already preparing to drop a new mixtape.  On Friday, November 3, the Miami rapper tweet about the upcoming project.

    This time last year, Lil Pump was trying to maintain his Twitter account.  The social media network banned him after he posted several offensive tweets.  Now, Pump is using social media to promote his new music and communicate with the fans that love him.  He’s slowly but surely figuring things out but every once in a while he reminds us that he’s still young.

    Lil Pump’s Snapchat name is LilPumpJetSki:

    The following tweet proves that Lil Pump is lit.  You can’t be more honest than that.  While some people hate seeing the Miami rapper stunt on social media, others love it and wish they could be him.

    SoundCloud Is Here To Stay

    In July 2017, Chance the Rapper announced that he was working with SoundCloud.  In 2016, the company found itself in serious financial trouble.  At a time when SoundCloud was declining, Pump managed to put up undeniable numbers on the music app.  Listeners who would normally stream their music through Apple Music or Spotify were forced to use SoundCloud because it was the only place Pump’s music could be found.

    Chance the Rapper helped save SoundCloud but Lil Pump no longer needs the company.  Pump released his official video for “Gucci Gang” a week ago and he has already earned more than 55 million views.  A few months before dropping “Gucci Gang” Pump released his video for “Boss” and it already has more than 31 million views.  Pump is here to stay!

  • Brother Love – Puff Daddy Name Change Timeline

    Brother Love – Puff Daddy Name Change Timeline

    In the Instagram post below, Diddy explains that he has changed his name to Love aka Brother Love. The music mogul reminds us that you can reinvent yourself as many times as you wish.  He announced the change on his 48th birthday.  Like Snoop Dogg, it’s getting difficult to keep up with all Sean’s names.

    1969: Sean John Combs

    Sean John Combs
    Sean John Combs
    Sean John Combs was born on November 4, 1969.  He grew up in Harlem, New York and was raised by his mother.  Sadly, Sean’s father was murdered when Sean was 5-years-old.

    1975: Puff

    In his youth, Sean earned the nickname “Puff” because when he was mad he would huff and puff.  We see glimpses of Sean’s temper on social media.  Anytime there’s injustice, Puff is always one of the first celebrities to speak up.

    1997: Puff Daddy

    A post shared by Diddy (@diddy) on Oct 13, 2017 at 8:59pm PDT

    In 1997, Puff added Daddy to his name and started going by Puff Daddy.  He reinvented himself, transforming from a producer to a rapper.  His first single, “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down” was a hit along with his debut album, No Way Out.

    1998: Sean John

    In 1998, Sean launched his fashion company Sean John.  Nearly two decades later, the company continues to enjoy success.  Jussie Smollett was recently named the face of the company’s Fall collection.

    1999: Puffy

    In 1999, Sean changed his name from Puff to Puffy.  The name change was never made official like many of Sean’s other name changes and it didn’t last for very long.

    2001: P. Diddy

    He made the name change after he was found to guilty of a possession of a weapon charge in connection to a 1999 shooting.  Sean’s former Bad Boy Records artist, Shyne, served 9 years in prison after being convicted of assault in connection to the shooting.

    2001: Poppadiddypop

    In his 2001 video for “Bad Boy 4 Life” actor Ben Stiller called Sean “Poppadiddypop” after knocking on his door to complain about a golf ball that Sean hit through the window of his house.

    2005: Diddy

    To clear up confusion, on August 16, 2005, Sean announced that he was changing his name to Diddy. He was sued by a London-based DJ and he isn’t allowed to use the name Diddy in the United Kingdom.

    2008: King Combs

    Sean’s son, Christian, goes by “King” and in 2008, Sean announced that he was changing his name to King.  The name change came the same year Sean announced his new fragrance, “I Am King.”

    2011: Swag

    On May 19, 2011, the Bad Boy Records founder changed his name to Swag.  He chose to make the name change in honor of his comeback.  Singer, Ray J is also seen in the video.  Swag says that he was only changing his name for a week.

    2017: Love aka Brother Love

    A post shared by Diddy (@diddy) on Nov 4, 2017 at 9:00am PDT

    On the music mogul’s 48th birthday he announced that he was changing his name to Love aka Brother Love.  He explains that he’s been praying and knew it would be risky but he’s not the person he was before.  Brother Love says that he will no longer answer to “Puffy”, “Diddy”, “Puff Daddy” or any of his other names.

    Playboi Carti – Rubi Rose To Blac Chyna

    Playboi Carti is no longer in a relationship with Rubi Rose and it looks like he’s dating Blac Chyna.  Carti and Chyna were seen on Snapchat and Chyna added pink hearts around their faces.  Is Blac Chyna the new Jennifer Lopez when it comes to relationships? Like J. Lo, Chyna has dated several entertainers.

    Playboi Carti And Rubi Rose: Break Up To Make Up

    Playboi Carti and Rubi Rose have broken up several times in the past few years but they usually get right back together.  The last time they broke up. Rubi claimed that Carti cheated on her with a man so their relationship might really be over.

    Blac Chyna and Playboi Carti are perfect for each since they’re both used to dysfunctional relationships.  If you watched Chyna’s reality show with Rob Kardashian then you know Chyna is borderline crazy.  She has serious anger issues that Carti should be aware of.

    Here’s a beautiful pic Rubi Rose recently posted:

    Kim Kardashian Refuses To Comment On Blac Chyna

    During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kim Kardashian was interviewed by actress Jennifer Lawrence.  Kim and Jennifer are friends so Jennifer was asking her any and everything.  Lawrence asked Kim about Blac Chyna and Kim refused to answer, explaining, “Dream is going to see this one day.  So I think it’s super respectful to just not say anything about my niece’s mom.”
    A post shared by Blac Chyna (@blacchyna) on Jun 7, 2017 at 12:17pm PDT

    It’s time for Playboi Carti to focus on his debut album.  His debut mixtape, Playboi Carti sold well considering the fact that he didn’t even promote but now the Atlanta needs to get serious about his career.  He shouldn’t be worried about Blac Chyna.  The following pic shows him with Gucci Mane.  Hopefully Gucci gave Carti some advice about the music industry.

  • Gabrielle Union Blames 50 Cent For Being Mary Jane Cancellation

    Gabrielle Union Blames 50 Cent For Being Mary Jane Cancellation

    In the Instagram video below, Gabrielle Union blames 50 Cent for Being Mary Jane being cancelled. Last month, BET announced that the hit series would end after four short seasons, leaving fans confused.  Viewership of the series has decreased since the first season, but Being Mary Jane was a landmark show for African American women.

    How Much Power Does 50 Cent Have At BET?

    50 Cent’s hit series on Starz, Power has forced television networks to put some respect on the rapper’s name.  Power laid the foundation for 50’s new BET series, 50 Central but did BET give the rapper too much power? When 50 announced that he was working with BET it was clear that he had big plans with the network.  He made several Instagram posts, bragging about his BET takeover.

    During an interview with The Breakfast Club 50 explained that he had plans to get Irv Gotti’s show, Tales cancelled.  Gotti claims that 50 doesn’t have enough power to get Tales cancelled so maybe BET was smart about how much control they gave 50.

    In the following video, Gabrielle tells fans not to send her messages about the cancellation of Being Mary Jane.  She advises fans to direct their complaints to 50 Cent:

    TSR STAFF: Talia O. @theclosetratchet _______________________________________ Back in August, #BeingMaryJane actress #GabrielleUnion and rapper #50Cent had words after he dissed her show. After last month’s announcement that #BMJ has been cancelled, fans have been pissed and seem to be taking some frustration out on the actress. _______________________________________ It looks like she’s tired of it which is why during an interview with First We Feast’s “Hot Ones” this week, Union told her fans to direct their frustrations at 50. She seems to be insinuating that he had something to do with her show being canceled. _______________________________________ “For everyone who’s just really upset that BMJ is coming to a close, please send all your correspondence to 50, Curtis Jackson, who has taken sole responsibility for the loss of jobs and your show,” she said. “So don’t @ me, @ 50.” _______________________________________ 50 finally responded this afternoon with a little shade of his own. “Listen I told you things were –(Read more at TheShadeRoom.Com!) 📸: @iamqlanise_

    Listen I told you things were gonna change Gabrielle, no disrespect with all respect, I have no respect. 💁🏽‍♂️I’ll see you around in my @michaelblackson voice.LOL
    A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent) on Nov 3, 2017 at 9:13am PDT

    The following post is from August.  50 was excited about joining BET and announced that changes were soon to come:

    A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) on Aug 6, 2017 at 8:56pm PDT

    Being Mary Jane was one of BET’s only dramas and it was very entertaining.  While The Quad is a great series, it doesn’t appeal to everyone.  Successful black TV shows are rare so the last thing BET should be doing is cancelling one of the most popular black TV shows on air.

  • Heidi Hoback – LeBron James Instagram Model

    Heidi Hoback – LeBron James Instagram Model

    Heidi Hoback is the latest Instagram model to claim that LeBron James slid into her DMs.  Hoback is a hunter with more than 100,000 followers.  The screenshot below shows a conversation she allegedly had with LeBron.  The NBA star says, “Teach me how to hunt and I’ll teach you to play ball. Deal? Lol.”

     

    This isn’t the first time LeBron has slid into a model’s DMs.  The fake news tactic is used every year to try to distract the NBA star.  This is why the James doesn’t use social media during the playoffs.  LeBron is one of the most focused athletes on the planet.  While Rihanna is a fan of King James, her infamous Instagram post was yet another distraction.

    People don’t care about LeBron’s family.  The last thing his kids want to hear is a story about their dad flirting with models on social media.  Kevin Hart’s recent scandal proves that entertainers are targets so James shouldn’t be sliding into anyone’s DMs.

    At 32-years-old with more than 15 years of experience as a professional athlete I would hope that LeBron knows better than this.

    In the past, LeBron’s camp has explained that James isn’t the only person with access to his social media accounts.  While this is a great excuse, it’s not good enough.  LeBron has to manage his brand like a professional.  He’s a global superstar and the companies he does business with don’t want to read about social media scandals on a regular basis.

    LeBron Yoga Bubbles – Waff Mini Elites

    LeBron James dropped 57 points in Friday nights game against the Washington Wizards.  How does the NBA veteran continue to dominate the game after suffering an ankle injury in a preseason game against the Chicago Bulls?  Bleacher Report explains that it’s LeBron’s new pregame ritual: Waff Mini Elites.

     

    A Waff Mini Elite is used to strengthen and stretch muscles.  The video below shows James training on a pair of the devices to improve his balance and coordination.  They are obviously working.  LeBron’s 11th career 50-point game tied Allen Iverson who also had 11 50-point games in his legendary career.

    James has a long way to go before catching up to Michael Jordan’s 31 50-point games or Kobe Bryant’s 25 50-point games.  If King James plans to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to another NBA Championship he will definitely need to add some more 50-point games to his resume.

    Is LeBron James Leaving Cleveland?

    LeBron’s business partner, Maverick Carter, made headlines this week after revealing that winning matters most in LeBron’s free agency decision.  I didn’t think James would break Cleveland’s heart again but I was wrong.  The NBA superstar hates the Cavalier’s management enough to leave if they don’t help him win a championship.  
     
     
    Here’s the problem: On paper, the Cavaliers are good enough to win the NBA Championship but all their stars have been spoiled by LeBron’s dominate play.  We’ll never know if Dwyane Wade has actually lost a step because he’s no longer trying as hard.  Wade knows that King James can lead the Cavs to the NBA Finals by himself and doesn’t want to get in his way.

     

    Great team win! #57 tho sheesh! @KingJames

    — JR Smith (@TheRealJRSmith) November 4, 2017

     
    Derrick Rose is starting to play with more aggression but he’s not what he used to be.  Like Wade, Rose doesn’t need to be the player he used to be now that he’s on the Cavaliers alongside LeBron James.

    Lil Kim’s Chanel bang gave me life in the 90s.  Kim’s hair is always on point but her blue Chanel wig was on another level.  The rapper, whose real name is Kimberly Denise Jones might be going back to jail.  She’s being investigated for a robbery that took place at a BET party house.  Her crew reportedly robbed a woman at the house.

    Kim rented the house but when she went to check it out she changed her mind.  She asked for her money back but the property manager refused.  Lil Kim and the property manager started arguing and the police were called.  The cops left and Kim didn’t get her money.  Kim’s crew returned to the property at 4 AM and they got her deposit check back.

    News outlets report that Kim’s crew vandalized the property manager’s car and stole a hubcap.  I’m hoping Kim will be able to avoid jail time.
    Lil Kim and Havoc were added to the 2017 BET Awards to honor Prodigy.  Kim teamed up with Mobb Deep on the “Quiet Storm” remix.  The song is a hip hop classic.  Lil Kim and Mobb Deep paved the way for today’s most popular rappers.  Without their hard work, rappers wouldn’t be taken serious.  
    Kim was one of the few female emcees who was able to maintain a successful career.  Mobb Deep created the blueprint for hip hop groups.

    50 Cent, Tyrese – Taraji P. Henson Dragged Into Their Beef

    50 Cent posted a video of Tyrese crying about his daughter on his Instagram account.  In the comment section of the post, 50 explained that Tyrese intervened back when he was talking to Taraji P. Henson.  50 and Taraji were beefing because 50 thought that Empire copied Power.  50 Cent doesn’t forget about anything.

    Tyrese isn’t the only person 50 has been making fun of.  The rapper made fun of Wendy Williams after she fainted on live TV.  In an Instagram post promoting 50 Central, 50 revealed his plans to overheat in his costume.  50 should be worried about 50 Central instead of Tyrese.  Irv Gotti called 50 out after the first episode’s horrific ratings.

    Tyrese and Taraji have a very close relationship so it’s only a matter of time before Henson speaks on the situation.  Gibson threatened to quit Fast and Furious because he’s beefing with The Rock.  This public meltdown could ruin Tyrese’s career.  Directors don’t want to deal with actors who are constantly causing drama.

    50 and Tyrese have to stop worrying about each other and focus on their careers.  50 is making fun of Tyrese about being broke but 50 is no longer as rich as he once was.
