  • Vincent Herbert Love Child – Laura Govan, Gilbert Arenas, Tamar Braxton

    Vincent Herbert Love Child – Laura Govan, Gilbert Arenas, Tamar Braxton

    Laura Govan denies the rumor that she’s pregnant with Vincent Herbert’s love child.  Govan explains that she has never been with Vince and she’s in a happy relationship with someone else.  Laura claims that her ex-husbnad, Gilbert Arenas started the rumors by reaching out to Tamar and telling her that she was sleeping with Vince.

    Does Tamar want Vince back?

    It’s easy to see that Tamar still has feelings for Vince.  I think they’ll end up getting back together.  Why else would she care if he got another woman pregnant? It’s also obvious that Gilbert Arenas still has feelings for his ex-wife, Laura Govan or else he wouldn’t be making up stories about her.  Laura says that Gilbert should focus paying child support which he hasn’t paid since September of 2017.

    Gilbert is currently hosting Complex’s YouTube sports program Out Of Bounds so all publicity is good publicity for the former NBA star.

    Melissa Schuman

    Need more evidence that Tamar wants Vince back? Melissa Schuman, is a former member of Dream, the girl group that signed to Bad Boy Records in 1998.  She claims that Vincent Herbert verbally and emotionally abused her while she was recording for Dream.  The post above shows Tamar Braxton’s response to Schuman’s claims.  If Tamar’s over Vince why is she defending him?

    Tamar Braxton is bipolar when it comes to Vincent Herbert and that has ruined their relationship.  Either you love him or you hate him Tamar, you can’t have both.  On Christmas day, Tamar got Vince arrested.  She explains that Herbert had too much to drink and things got heated.  Braxton says that he was disrespectful but he did not hit her.

  • Drake And Meek Mill Squash Beef – Family Feud Remix

    Drake teamed up with Lil Wayne for a remix to Jay Z’s “Family Feud.” Drake squashes his beef with Meek Mill in his verse: “I need paper long like “A Milli” verse, or too long like a sentence from a Philly judge.  F*** is the point in all the beefing when we really blood? Nobody wins when the family feuds.”

    Judge Genece E. Brinkley

    Drake is referring to Judge Genece E. Brinkley.  On November 6, 2017, she sent Meek Mill to jail for two-to-four years.  This is the first time Drake has delivered positive lyrics about Meek since their beef.  In the last few months, Drake has been using social media to show that he no longer has beef with Meek.  In July, Drizzy liked an Instagram post that listed Meek’s credentials.

    Drake And Meek Mill Squash Beef

    At a recent concert, Drake gave a fan holding a “Free Meek Mill” sign a shout out.  Jay Z’s positive message in “Family Feud” is working.  Jay has exchanged shot with numerous rappers throughout his career and understands that “nobody wins when the family feuds.”

    In Drake’s 2010 track “Light Up”, Jay warned the Toronto rapper about beefing with other emcees: “Drake, here’s how they gon’ come at you, with silly rap feuds, tryin’ to distract you.” Earlier this year, Kanye West went on a rant explaining that Jay blocked the release of Drake’s “Pop Style” featuring Kanye because Jay was upset about Drake and Meek’s beef.
    The following video shows a teaser of Jay Z’s original version of “Family Feud.”
    It looks like Jay Z is getting his way.  I would love to hear Drake and Meek Mill on a track once Meek is released from prison.  I’m also still waiting for Jay and Kanye to squash their beef and release some new music.  Jay should listen to his own advice because, “Nobody wins when the family feuds.”

  • Tariq Nasheed And Umar Johnson – Beef

    Dr. Umar Johnson dragged Tariq Nasheed on Instagram live.  Dr. Johnson decided to expose Nasheed because Nasheed has been insulting Dr. Johnson.  Tariq is a reformed pimp and Dr. Johnson calls him out for releasing content that teaches people how to pimp.  Nasheed’s first book, The Art Of Mackin” was released in 2000 and teaches men how to get what they want from women.

    Hidden Colors

    Dr. Johnson says that he supported Tariq even after he found out that he used to be a pimp.  He explains that he didn’t approve of Nasheed’s past but he supports him because he’s a changed man.  Dr. Johnson can’t forgive Nasheed for his Hidden Colors series.  In 2011, Tariq released Hidden Colors, a documentary on the contributions of African and aboriginal people and white supremacy.

    Tariq Nasheed Umar Johnson Beef

    Dr. Johnson explains that Tariq brought his all white crew to interview him for Hidden Colors 2.  Dr. Johnson insults Nasheed for hiring white people to produce a black documentary on white supremacy.

    Dr. Johnson calls Tariq out for plagiarism.  He says that he interviewed him for more than 3 hours for Hidden Colors 3 yet Dr. Johnson only appears in the film for 20 minutes.  He claims that Tariq stole the ideas he shared during the interview and didn’t give him credit.  Dr. Johnson says that Nasheed is successful because “when you’re listening to Tariq, you’re listening to me.”

    #ReleaseTheFootage

    Dr. Johnson tells Tariq to release the footage of the doctor’s Hidden Colors interviews to prove that Tariq stole his theories.  Dr. Johnson says he’s Johnson’s “intellectual daddy” and explains that if Tariq doesn’t release the footage, he’s guilty.

    Dr. Johnson says that Nasheed paid him $500 for Hidden Colors, $500 for Hidden Colors 2 and $500 for Hidden Colors 3.  Tariq also donated $500 to Johnson’s school initiative.  That’s $2,000.

    In 2014, Dr. Johnson told Tariq that he was going to London and needed some copies of Hidden Colors.  Nasheed sold the films to Dr. Johnson for $10 each, the same price he sells them for on the street.  Dr. Johnson bought 50 units, that’s $500.

    Dr. Johnson says that Tariq also charged him $1,500 to show Hidden Colors in London.  The $500 the doctor paid for the 50 units plus the $1,500 Nasheed charged Dr. Johnson to show the film equals the $2,000 Tariq gave Dr. Johnson for his contributions to Hidden Colors.

    Dr. Johnson says Tariq refused to send him Hidden Colors three times he was scheduled to show the film at events.  Nasheed claimed that he couldn’t send it because he needed to protect his product.

    Dr. Johnson also insults Nasheed for making fun of black people’s skin tones.  He calls Tariq a coon for calling dark people “crispy.”

    DeVon Franklin is the motivational speaker that was married to Meagan Good. Franklin was once the Senior Vice President of Production at Columbia Pictures and he is also an author, film producer and preacher.

    We are sad to report that Meagan and DeVon are getting a divorce after 9 years of marriage. The couple told People that “there’s no one at fault, we believe this is the next best chapter in the evolution of our love.”

    Taraji P. Henson Meagan Good

    Meagan Good and DeVon Franklin began dating in 2011. The couple became engaged in 2012 and were married on June 16, 2012.

    Meagan Good is flawless therefore she has haters. The following video shows Franklin defending Meagan.

  • Andrew Thomas Finch, Wichita – Swatting Prank

    Andrew Thomas Finch is the unarmed man who was shot and killed by police in Wichita, KS.  He was 28-years-old.  Scroll down to donate to the Go Fund Me page that was launched to help his family pay for funeral expenses.  Sadly, Andrew may have died because of an argument over an online game.

    Swatting Prank Explained

    Investigators say that Finch was killed because of a “swatting” prank which occurs when a person makes up a false police report to get a SWAT team to show up at another person’s house.  Someone called the police and claimed that a gunman committed murder at Andrew’s address.  The person also explained that the gunman was holding people hostage.

    Andrew Thomas Finch Wichita Swatting Prank

    Swatting pranks are common in the gaming community.  In the past, gamers have made false reports about bomb threats, terrorists attacks and other emergencies.

    When officers arrived at Finch’s door, they gave him commands to put his hands up.  When you’re a victim of swatting, you’re shocked to see guns in your face when you answer your door so Finch most likely hesitated.  Officers claim that Finch reached down at his waist before putting his hands up.  They thought he had a weapon so a seven-year veteran of the police force shot him.

    Call of Duty

    The tweet below explains that the swatting prank was over a $1.50 Call of Duty wager.  Call of Duty has been ridiculed for its violence but this incident proves that it’s not the game, it’s the players.  Gamers who think swatting is acceptable are sick and should not be allowed to play video games.

    Andrew Finch’s family denies claims that his death was a result of a swatting prank.  One of Finch’s family members explains that he doesn’t play video games.
