Meek Mill Blasts BET For “Embarrassing” His Non-Rapping Son’s Mother To Promote Their Hip Hop Awards Show

Meek Mill is turned off by BET after Milan Harris, the mother of his son, worked with the network to showcase her rap skills—or tried.

The 35-year-old “Dreams and Nightmares” rapper broke his silence on Twitter last night after a video of Milan freestyling at the 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards went viral online. Commenters rated the clip of Milan rapping about her humble beginning from being raised on the west side of Philadelphia to now being an 8-figure entrepreneur with her own fashion line.

Milan Harris’ BET ‘Freestyle’ Rubs Meek Mill The Wrong Way

Milan, who has over 1 million supporters on social media,  struggled a bit with breath control, she admitted in tweets, but seemed to have fun while showcasing her 16 bars. Unfortunately, Meek didn’t see it as just a fun freestyle moment but believed the television network exploited his child’s mother for promotion while seemingly embarrassing her.

In tweets, Meek explained why he thought the show humiliated Milan for promotion.

Ion like “bet” got my bm tryna spit bars for attention/clout …it’s like a setup embarrassment made to look like opportunity! and I’m with the “women hustler empowerment motion” but y’all drawin .. Pure manipulation.

Meek Says “Everything Ain’t Networking” In Advice To His Son’s Mother

Meek clarified even further his feelings about Milan freestyling on BET in later tweets. The father of two hinted that social media may have influenced Milan, 33, to do something that wasn’t necessarily the best for her image.

Milan is a serial entrepreneur, fashion designer and influencer who uses her social media channels to promote her businesses. The boss lady and Meek welcomed their son Czar together in 2020. Meek, who has his own fame from his many years in the music business, offered Milan some advice in more Tweets.

I was voicing my opinion about a connection to my life and a company I been getting money wit .. .. all them women lit love to them! Everything ain’t networking especially if you say you getting money … stay true to your self “phones” made us all get a lil lost even me!

Meek continued, calling the network out for no longer being “Black owned,” seemingly referring to Viacom acquiring BEt in 2000.

Sh*t not even owned by blacks to my knowledge…. I live life without narrative one of the reason I don’t have religion …. The streets traumatized me and hypnotized me to that and I’m breaking that! Catch me outside I’m not perfect but I’m not living in that fame narrative lol.

Shit not even owned by blacks to my knowledge…. I live life without narrative one of the reason I don’t have religion …. The streets traumatized me and hypnotized me to that and I’m breaking that! Catch me outside I’m not perfect but I’m not living in that fame narrative lol

“Lies!” Cory Hardrict Claims He Didn’t Cheat On Tia Mowry As Social Media Ponders The Reason Behind Their Recent Split

Cory Hardrict says he didn’t cheat on Tia Mowry amidst news of their recent breakup, as social media ponders the reason behind the split after 14 years together and two children between them.

In a Instagram comment regarding the couple posted Wednesday, one fan wrote: “Cory nooooo. Don’t fumble Tia!!!” to which someone replied “he fumbled already, ma.”

“Lies!” Cory Hardrict Says In Response To Cheating Allegations Amidst Split From Tia Mowry

“How?” another questioned. “He cheated on her,” wrote a fourth commenter.

“Lies!” the 42-year-old actor responded to regarding the cheating accusations.

As The Shade Room reported earlier this week, Tia and Cory filed for divorce because of irreconcilable differences, leaving fans stunned upon learning of the split.

While Tia acknowledged the two “decided to go our separate ways,” she did not reveal the exact cause of the breakup, with many fans speculation infidelity on Cory’s part.

“I have always been honest with my fans, and today is no different. I wanted to share that Cory and I have decided to go our separate ways. These decisions are never easy, and not without sadness.”

Fans Come To Cory’s Support In Face Of Cheating Allegations, Slam Baseless “Rumors”

After Cory’s response to the cheating allegations, fans took to The Shade Room’s Instagram to voice their opinions, with many siding with Cory and others calling out those who instigated the rumor.

“There y’all go making up stories.. and here comes the bandwagon BYE,” one person wrote. “I love how people that ain’t in their house swear they know some ishh,” another commented.

One commenter noted “it’s the way y’all be answering questions like y’all know Forreal,” and another adding “Why do people start rumors?”

“All relationships don’t end due to cheating” a third wrote. “People really be making up their own stories it’s sick cheating isn’t always the reason relationships don’t work” another offered.

Some Question Cory’s One-Word Response To Accusations, Others Speculate Whether Rumors Could Be True

Not everyone was satisfied with Cory’s one-word response to the accusations, however. A handful of commenters wrote they still want to know what happened, while others noted that whatever the reason was behind the divorce, Tia seems to be “DONE done.”

“I dunno but sis seems DONE done,” one person commented. “Well what happen then Corey said nawwww hold on” another probed.

“Nah, if we married and you didn’t cheat, we working it out ” a third wrote.

One commenter recalled a story “years back” in Cory’s defense, retelling a time when a female was “trying to talk to him (on set) and he shut it down.”

“There was a story years back that Cory was on the set and a female was trying to talk to him and he shut it down. I don’t believe he cheated. I think it maybe a midlife thing. I been married for 16 years and people change.”

What do you think, Roomies? Should fans mind their business on this one?

Khloé Kardashian Asks Kanye West To Stop Naming Kim Kardashian And Her Family When He Wants “To Deflect”

Khloé Kardashian is ’bout sick of Kanye West name-dropping Kim and her family “to deflect” from his public image.

The reality star made the rare move of addressing the father of her nieces and nephews on social media. On Wednesday (Oct. 5), the youngest Kardashian sister took up for her family in the comment section of one of Ye’s latest Insta-rants.

“Ye, I love you. I don’t want to do this on social media but YOU keep bringing it here,” Khloé wrote. “You are the father of my nieces and nephews and I’m trying to be respectful but please STOP tearing Kimberly down and using our family when you want to deflect.”

Here’s What Inspired Khloé To Address Kanye

Early Wednesday, the DONDA artist responded to Gigi Hadid‘s commentary about his digs at Vogue fashion editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson. According to PEOPLE, Gigi responded to one of Ye’s Instagram posts.

“You wish u had a percentage of her intellect, you have no idea haha…if there’s actually a point to any of your sh*t she might be the only person that could save u,” Gigi wrote on Tuesday (Oct. 4). “As if the “honor” of being invited to your show should keep someone from giving their opinion? Lol. You’re a bully and a joke.”

Not one to back down, Kanye replied about a day later. He said no one spoke up on his behalf when he claimed the Kardashians tried to “kidnap” their daughter Chicago by not inviting him to her birthday party at the beginning of this year.

…Or we just chime in when we want to tear a Black man down for actually having a different policitical opinion,” Ye wrote in his response to Gigi. “And for all audience so outraged about my t-shirt, where was you when I couldn’t see my kids. I went public in hope of public support at that time.”

To backtrack, Kanye posted pictures of Gabriella saying she’s a droid” and “not a fashion person” on Tuesday (Oct. 4). He aimed at the editor after she posted a few lengthy critiques of his controversial “White Lives Matter” t-shirt, which she saw in person at a fashion show.

Plenty of folks came to Gabriella’s defense, including Gigi and Vogue. The company said Ye personally targeted and bullied” Gabriella, though they failed to name-drop the rapper in their statement. They also revealed Kanye and Gabriella discussed the matter in a private meeting, a claim Ye confirmed on his Instagram page.

Khloé Tells Kanye: Enough With The Birthday Narrative

If sympathy is what Ye was looking for by bringing up the Chicago birthday situation, Khloé seemingly had none to give! She straight up asked him to cut it out.

“Again with the birthday narrative. Enough already. We all know the truth and in my opinion, everyone’s tired of it,” Khloé wrote. “You know exactly where your children are at all times and YOU wanted separate birthdays. I have seen all of the texts to prove it. And when you changed your mind and wanted to attend, you came.”

Khloé’s clapback about Ye attending the birthday party, despite the drama, was well-documented in pictures. At the time, a source confirmed to The Shade Room that the two parties’ idea was all Kanye’s doing.

Khloé closed out her drag by reminding Kanye that her sister is the primary caretaker of their kids. Not only that, the Good American owner asked Ye to leave Kimberly and their family alone

“Like you have pointed out yourself, she is the one taking care of your kids 80% of the time. Please leave her and the family out of it so that the kids can be raised peacefully,” Khloé wrote. “I come from a place of love and I am happy to continue this conversation privately if you wish.”

And if you think Kanye had more to say after that, you’d be right. He accused Khloé and the fam of being liars.

When the 52-year-old shared his thoughts, he made it clear that Kanye was his “boy” and a “free thinker.”

My boy is a super, super, super free thinker,” Diddy said. “And a lot of times, what he means is, like, misconstrued, you know what I’m saying? I understand white lives do matter, but it’s not that.

He continued:

[‘Black Lives Matter’] was our slogan. That wasn’t our slogan to go share with nobody else … Because right now, we’re the ones that are dying, that are incarcerated, that are left in poverty.

The mogul also stated people didn’t have to “condemn” or “cancel” Kanye.

Boosie Slams Kanye West

Lil Nas X Was Nervous To Wear A Skirt During Performance In His Hometown: “I Feel Like I’m Changing Some Minds”

Lil Nas X is no longer putting limits on his fashion choices! The 23-year-old rapper and artist has shown up and shown out when it comes to his personal style. From his gold armor suit, to his risqué outfit changes, the ‘Montero’ star has been walking billboard of fearlessness and self-love.

In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Lil Nas X explained his definition of personal style.

Style is a form of self-expression. It’s a way to show people who you are, or at least how you want them to perceive you. I feel like to get further in life, you have to shed skins and do things that you normally wouldn’t.”

Nevertheless, Nas recently revealed that he was apprehensive about wearing a skirt in his hometown of Atlanta, where his family and loved ones would be present to watch him perform.

I was really nervous about going on stage in front of my family and everybody in my cute, little Coach skirt. But as soon as I walked out, I felt like I was setting my younger self free. Afterwards, my family–a lot of whom used to believe in everything opposite to what’s up on that stage–told me they were really proud. I feel like I’m changing some minds.”

Per usual, Lil Nas X put on an energetic and provocative show worth paying for, but ran into some hiccups on another tour stop. While preparing for his show in Boston, Nas stated that he was met by religious protestors holding signs that read, “Jesus is God even demons know it” and “Repent and Believe the Gospel.”

Nas had one of his crew members offer the protestors pizza, which they declined.

One of the protestors was actually really cute, and I called him out on Twitter, but I haven’t heard from him. He’s either laughing or having a really hard time in the group chat right now!”

Take a look at some of Nas’s most iconic fashion lewks!

Magnetic Magazine Premiere: NØISE (Lowtempo Mix)

I’ve been a die–hard music fan since my youth, but I began to understand the structure of music when I learned to DJ 12 years ago. After a few years of DJing with vinyl, a program called Serato was introduced that allowed me to DJ using MP3’s with the same control I had with vinyl. As a bonus though, unlike vinyl, MP3’s can be edited and remixed. My first production endeavors were simple re-edits of songs for improved mixing. My friend John Goff, a lifelong analog and electronic musician, would help me with these re-edits and indulged me as I became more ambitious with my arrangements. John suggested that we build some original music together. We put some instrumental compositions together, and then serendipitously met Merritt Lear and her former bandmate Joe Cassidy. Merritt added incredible vocals and melody ideas, and Joe added guitar and production/arrangement. We completed two songs, decided to name our project NØISE, and to rush produce a 7 inch for release at my 50 Shades of Black art show. I worked up some art for a screen-printed cover, and we cut and glued 500 sleeves to complete the NØISE “Little Lions” 45 RPM 7 inch. Additionally, all 500 are signed and numbered but will still be priced at $10… with no added “Art Tax” in sight. You can listen to the music on the turntables provided in the Subliminal Projects gallery, or buy it for the art. To be clear though, this is not an art project with music included, it is a music project with art included. We’ll release some stuff digitally eventually, but it’s vinyl only for now. Get the NØISE “Little Lions” 7 inch  at 50 Shades of Black.
