NeNe Leakes Young
“NeNe” was born Linnethia Monique Johnson on December 13, 1966 in Queens, New York. Her accent is proof that she did not grow up in New York. When she was young, her and one of her brothers were sent to Georgia to live with their aunt. NeNe’s mother had 5 children and was having difficulties raising them by herself.
2003-2016

Mynique Divorces Chuck Smith
Earlier this year, Mynique filed for divorce from her husband, former NFL player, Chuck Smith. The former couple appeared on season 6 of Real Housewives of Atlanta and Chuck revealed that he dated Kandi Burruss and Phaedra Parks before he got married to Mynique. That wouldn’t be an issue if he would have told Mynique before their appearance on the series.
Mynique Smith RHOA Husband Chuck Bio
Mynique is a personal trainer and she has three kids. Despite the divorce, they recently shared the following pic:
Mynique Chuck Smith Family
Chuck Smith was born in Athens, Georgia and attended the University of Tennessee. He played for the Atlanta Falcons from 1992 to 1999 and ended his NFL career with the Carolina Panthers in 2000. Chuck worked as a radio personality after he retired from the NFL.
I forgot all about Mynique (pronounced Monique)! That season featuring her was hilarious #RHOA
Chuck and NeNe met decades ago. They were both raised in Athens. Chuck got too excited when he appeared on the series, spilling all his tea about his past relationships with Phaedra and Kandi. He referred to the ladies as members of his “team.” That explains why Mynique filed for divorce.
Chuck Smith Bob Whitfield
NeNe is not Chuck and Mynique’s only #RHOA connection. Chuck and Sheree’s ex-husband, Bob Whitfield were teammates when they both played for the Atlanta Falcons. Mynique actually met NeNe through Sheree but Sheree and Mynique are no longer friends. When Sheree would bring NeNe to Falcons games she would refer to NeNe as her “hood friend.”

In the Instagram video below, NBA Youngboy makes it clear that no one snatched a chain off his neck. NBA’s friend was wearing his chain while NBA was performing and someone snatched the chain off his friend’s neck. Youngboy explains that he didn’t care about the chain because he’s too rich.
Chain snatchers want $50,000
A few months ago, NBA Youngboy revealed that he paid $200,000 for his “38” chain. The thieves went on Instagram and demanded $50,000 for the chain. NBA Youngboy needs to hire a security team now that he’s famous. I don’t think he should pay the goons that snatched his chain. Youngboy should file an insurance claim and stop wearing jewelry.
NBA Youngboy Chain Snatched In North Carolina
The “38” stands for Youngboy’s favorite gun, a .38 caliber revolver. In the following video, NBA Youngboy explains that no one took a chain off his neck:

Will rappers ever learn? Stop bragging about how expensive your jewelry is on social media. There are people out here that will do anything for money.
NBA has some more serious problems to worry about. A woman accused the rapper of beating her up because she let 21 Savage’s crew have relations with her. In the video below, the woman explains that NBA beat her up and dragged about her hair. NBA is on probation and if the woman files charges, he could end up back in jail.
Meek Mill wanted to sign Youngboy to his Dream Chasers label. Meek could offer NBA some useful advice: Stay out of trouble. Meek and NBA have kids that need their fathers. They both need to make smarter decisions.

This article presents the cast of Empire season 4 and it also discusses the show’s record breaking first season. The article will also take a look back at some unforgettable Empire moments!
What Is The Show Empire About? The Empire TV show’s cast includes numerous talented actors that have shown broadcast networks the power of appealing directly to African American viewers. Empire is a drama that explores the hip hop music industry through the Lyon family as they fight for control of the company.
Lucious Lyon, former drug dealer who has since become a musical mogul, is on a mission to appoint one of his sons successor of Empire Entertainment after he finds out about his terminal illness. In the show’s first season Lucious’ sons, Andre, Jamal and Hakeem each try to prove that they are fit to lead the company.
While Lucious and his sons plan Empire’s future, Lucious’ ex-wife Cookie is released from prison. Cookie served 17 years in prison for selling drugs. She was sent to prison for her role in a drug deal worth $400,000, the money that was used to start Empire Entertainment.
Empire Season One Ratings Empire’s first season was simply amazing as the show shattered numerous records. In its initial season Empire became the first show to increase viewers every week during its freshman season since at least the 1990s when Nielsen began tracking such information. Empire’s season finale drew 16.5 million viewers and averaged a 6.5 rating among the adult under 50 demographic.
USA Today named Taraji P. Henson Entertainer of the Year for her role as Cookie Lyon. Henson spent years in numerous one-dimensional roles that did not allow her to show off her talent. From Cookie’s one-liners to her one-of-a-kind wardrobe the world has never experienced a character as unique and unpredictable.
In the show’s first season we watched Cookie and Lucious nearly get back together and we also saw Cookie and Malcom’s brief relationship. Empire season 2 has been crazy for Cookie! Her boyfriend Laz (Adam Rodriguez) turned out to be a member of the 125th St. Bulls so Lucious had to take care of him!
When the show returns Lucious will have yet another opponent, rapper Xzibit has been added to Empire’s cast. The former host of West Coast Customs will play Leslie ‘Shyne’ Johnson, a gangster who hates Lucious.
The TV show Empire is always surprising viewers with plot twists and unpredictable moments. In the show’s midseason finale Hakeem’s ex-girlfriend Camilla returns and we find out that she is actually Mimi’s wife!? Mimi convinces Empire’s board of directors to vote to boot Lucious from the company and Camilla appoints Hakeem as Empire’s new leader.
Empire 2016 Premiere Hakeem
Hakeem, Leader of the New School Hakeem has made such a major impact on hip-hop that rumors have suggested that he is Jay-Z’s son. These rumors were false of course yet similar to Jay-Z, Hakeem works with Timbaland in order to deliver classic tracks. In the show’s first season Hakeem delivered the track “Drip Drop”, helping the show become more popular as we couldn’t stop singing the song!
TV Show Empire Hakeem Freda Rap Battle
Freda and Hakeem’s rap battle was one of Empire season 2’s best moments, as Hakeem showed off his lyrical arsenal and ultimately gave Lucious back his last name. As Empire’s new leader Hakeem may not be able to find time for anymore battles. Hakeem’s older brother Jamal experienced major difficulties in his attempt to lead Empire and create music. It will be interesting to see how Hakeem treats Jamal now that he is his boss.
Empire 2016 Premiere Jamal
Jamal, Ready to Go! Jamal Lyon went from recording music at “Ghetto Ass Studios” to being featured in epic commercials as the new face of Pepsi. In one of the most enjoyable Empire-moments to date Jamal Lyon has a coming-out moment while he is performing a song and Lucious’ reaction is pure comedy:
Lucious Lyon Empire
While Jamal is performing, flashbacks of Lucious putting him in a trashcan are shown. The powerful scene emphasizes the fact that Jamal has moved forward with his life despite Lucious being stuck in the past.
The Empire TV show’s second season began with Jamal as Empire’s CEO struggling to balance his career as an artist and leading the company. Jamal and Michael break up and Hakeem is now in charge of Empire creating the perfect opportunity for Jamal to focus on what he does best: creating unforgettable music.
Now that Hakeem is Empire’s CEO Andre is the only Lyon brother that has never led the company. Andre Lyon is a business savvy professional that we watch overcome health conditions, bury his uncle and we even get to see Lucious and Cookie’s oldest son get served with a bib!
TV Show Empire Rhonda Bib Andre
Andre is baptized in the show’s second season yet his desire to transform his life may be delayed with his wife Rhonda being pushed down the stairs of their home at the end of the Empire TV show’s midseason finale.
When we first meet Anika Calhoun she is Lucious Lyon’s lover and they are both very anxious to get married. After she catches Lucious having sex with Cookie, Anika leaves Lucious, hooks up with Hakeem and even joins Creedmoor Records.
Empire TV Show Fight
From fighting Cookie to having sex with Mimi, Empire’s Boo Boo Kitty has shown that she will do whatever it takes to accomplish her goals. While the new CEO of Empire, Hakeem, has assured Anika that she will never be a Lyon he was not aware of the fact that she was pregnant with their baby!
Black Girl Named Becky Becky Williams (Gabourey Sidibe) was Lucious’ assistant during his time at Empire Entertainment. After Lucious names Jamal his successor Jamal promote Becky to A&R.
Becky Empire Fox
When Lucious creates Gutter Life Records Becky works in the A&R department of the new label. The position is perfect for Becky allowing her to work alongside her love interest J Poppa.
Porsha, Taxes!? Porsha Taylor (Ta’Rhonda Jones) is Cookie’s assistant. In Empire’s first season, Anika pays Porsha to spy on Cookie but Porsha makes it clear that she wasn’t having it: “And I spied right back on your ass!”
Porsha Empire Fox
Cookie fires Porsha for telling cops that her name is “Cookie Lyon” when she is caught jumping a subway turnstile. Then, Porsha shows up to Cookie’s office with her Grandma’s mut, Whoopty Whoo and is able to convince Cookie to give her another chance.
Blame It On Tiana Tiana Brown (Serayah McNeill) is an artist that was previously signed to Empire Entertainment and is currently signed to Lyon Dynasty. Tiana and Hakeem are a couple in the show’s first season but the two part ways after Hakeem finds out that Tiana has a girlfriend.
Tiana Empire Fox
Hakeem and Tiana have remained good friends. Hakeem reaches out to Tiana when he needs help transforming his girlfriend (Laura Calleros) into a star and Tiana is happy to assist. We wonder if Tiana will end up back at Empire Entertainment with Hakeem.
#WhoPushedRhonda Rhonda Lyon (Kaitlin Doubleday) is Andre’s wife. At one point everything seemed to be perfect between Lucious, Andre and Rhonda. Despite Lucious making
Empire Season 2 Rhonda Pushed Down Stairs
While many Empire fans believe Anika pushed Rhonda down the stairs the show is always delivering surprises making it more difficult to guess #WhoPushedRhonda.
A Star Attraction While some have complained about the Empire’s large number of guest stars I absolutely love it! The first season featured some of the industry’s most familiar faces, including Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Cuba Gooding Jr. and even Gladys Knight!
Alicia Keys Empire’s second season has also included numerous unforgettable guest stars. Alicia Keys appeared on Empire as singer, Skye Summers. Summers teamed up with Jamal Lyon for the song “Powerful”:
Jussie Smollett Secretly Filmed Taraji P. Henson On The Empire Set Repeatedly! Taraji P. Henson and Jussie Smollett’s chemistry on Empire is amazing and their chemistry in real life is very similar. The following video shows some of their most hilarious moments:
Empire 2016 Premiere Jamal Cookie

Jimpire
Last year, Jimmy Fallon delivered the following Empire parody which featured Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard:
In “Dinner Time” Cam’ron’s response to Mase, Cam says, “Listening to Suga J, look, he gonna play you wrong, Carmelo took La La, Meek Mill took his baby mom.” People jumped to the conclusion that Mase and La La were in a relationship but it was Mase’s associate, Suga J aka Sugar J who was in a relationship with La La.
Suga J spit in La La’s face
La La allegedly cheated on Suga J with Carmelo Anthony. In 2004, before Suga J knew that La La was in a relationship with Carmelo, he saw her at Babalu Night Club in New York City. Suga J approached her and tried to give her a hug but La La pulled away and warned Suga J that her man, Carmelo was there.
La La Anthony With Mase Associate Suga J
Suga J asked La La, “Your man?” and told her that he was her man. La La headed to her VIP section with Melo and Suga J was very upset. Later that night, Suga J walked by La La and Melo’s VIP section and La La grabbed Suga J’s shirt. Suga J told La La not to touch him and he spit on her.
Carmelo ran over and punched Suga J. Melo whooped Suga J’s tail! Suga J sued Melo. Maybe Melo cheating on La La and having a baby with another woman was karma.
Here’s a pic of Mase and Suga J:

Zaire Wade is 6’2″ and is currently 16-years-old. He was born on February 4, 2002. Bronny James is 6’0″ and is currently 13-years-old. He was born on October 6, 2004. Zaire and Bronny have been spotted at multiple Cleveland Cavaliers games and basketball fans think they could both be future NBA players.
The video below shows Zaire dunking with ease. He has just as much bounce as his father. I hope Dwyane Wade and LeBron James aren’t putting too much pressure on their sons regarding their futures in the NBA. Superstars like Dwyane and LeBron usually don’t have kids that are half as talented as they are because there’s too much pressure.
Zaire Wade Height Age Bronny James
The following tweet shows Zaire dunking. He got up there and put it down with ease, just like his father.
Zaire and Bronny’s talents could be a negative thing for Cavaliers fans. Professional athletes are constantly busy so Dwyane and LeBron have missed some of their son’s biggest games.
Dwyane and LeBron are both devoted fathers who love spending time with their kids. Seeing them grow up fast will make them want to enjoy every moment. LeBron and Dwyane will both retire within the next 5 years to spend more time with their sons.
The video above shows that LeBron and his teammates aren’t the only ones who have secret handshakes. Bron and Bronny also have a secret handshake showing their bond. LeBron has explained that his father wasn’t in his life so he takes being a good father very serious.
The next major step for Zaire and Bronny is choosing a college. For some reason, I think Bronny will end up at Kentucky and Zaire will most likely attend Marquette.
What do you think about Zaire Wade and Bronny James? Will either one be as good as Dwyane or LeBron? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
Mase’s twin sister, Stason Betha was mentioned in one of Cam’ron’s recent Instagram posts. Stason played a major role in Mase’s rise to fame. She introduced Mase to Biggie Smalls’ road manager, Cudda Love. Mase impressed Cudda with his rapping skills so Cudda took him to Atlanta where he met Diddy and signed to Bad Boy.
In the Instagram post below, Cam’ron claims that he doesn’t have a sister and he had relations with Mase’s sister. When Cudda Love took Mase to Atlanta, the Harlem rapper was hoping to meet Jermaine Dupri but he ended up meeting Diddy and was signed to Bad Boy. In 1998, Mase, his sister and four others signed to Dupri’s So So Def Recordings as the group, Harlem World.
Mase Sister Stason Betha
Stason went by “Baby Stase” when she was with Harlem World. The group only released on album, The Movement in 1999. The album went gold but shortly after it was released, Mase decided to retire from the music business. Mase and Stason were very close so she also retired from the music business.
A few hours after Mase released “The Oracle” Cam responded with the following Instagram post. Cam’s response to Mase is playing in the video. Towards the end, Cam claims that he had relations with Mase’s sister. Mase and Stason have four older siblings so Cam could be referring to one of Mase’s other sisters.
Derrick Rose is leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers and considering retiring from the NBA. In 2008, Rose was drafted number 1 by the Chicago Bulls. His first few years in the league were great but that all changed in 2012 after he tore his ACL. Since then, Derrick Rose’s career has been plagued by injuries and he’s finally had enough.
Derrick Rose Net Worth As Of 2017: $115 Million
Derrick Rose’s $115 million net worth was earned through his NBA contracts and endorsement deals. In 2011 he signed a five-year extension with the Bulls worth $94.8 million. Derrick’s injuries ruined his time in Chicago and in 2016 he was traded to the New York Knicks. Last year, Derrick became a free-agent and signed a one-year deal with the Cavaliers worth $2.1 million.
Derrick Rose Net Worth 2017
Derrick Rose Adidas Contract 2017
In 2012, Rose signed a 13-year contract with Adidas worth $185 million. Adidas saw Derrick’s potential and didn’t want to lose him to Nike. If Rose retires, Adidas won’t have to pay him for the remaining years of the contract. That’s one reason for Rose to stay in the NBA. If he stops driving the ball to the basket so much he might be able to avoid another injury.
