As is the case for many women of her physical stature, growing into accepting what nature gave her is a journey, and she is inspiring others out there to own their beauty on terms that fit them.
From Facebook:
I use to be extremely self-conscious of my body, especially as a young girl. Picked on in elementary & middle school bc I was the only girl that was developing quickly. Older men hitting on me, etc. It has taken awhile for me to gain the confidence to walk in this body & I’m finally at a point where I’m starting to love all of me & wear what I think is beautiful despite what others may think. There are struggles at times, but I’m currently in my “eff it” era so if you don’t like it…keep it pushing bc I love me some me!

JT and Lil Uzi Vert are one of Hip-Hop’s most popular couples and have had their share of ups and downs throughout their romance. Things seemingly got heated over the weekend after footage surfaced of JT tossing her phone at Uzi, and some online are speculating that it’s over Ice Spice.
JT and Lil Uzi Vert were in attendance at the 2023 BET Awards in Los Angeles, Calif. on Sunday (July 25), another star-studded affair for the long-running network and brand. While the affair was largely drama free, that wasn’t the case among those sitting front row.
Some online are contending that JT’s anger toward Uzi was over a line in a new song that they performed at the BET Awards where Ice Spice’s name is mentioned in the closing bar but it doesn’t seem like he was flirting with the Bronx rapper.
Footage that has surfaced showed JT calling Lil Uzi Vert a “groupie” and “b*tch” before tossing the phone at them and having to be restrained by others in their row. Another video showed Uzi seemingly pleading with their partner but the City Girls star wasn’t having any of it.
The footage, now since viral, hasn’t been addressed by the couple nor Ice Spice so far but that hasn’t stopped Twitter from adding their investigative bent to the happenings. What can be confirmed is that JT and Uzi left the venue together shortly after their spat but it was tension in the air.
Check out the reactions below.

Dr. Umar Johnson has his fair share of critics and detractors and it appears recent comments he made during a podcast interview will add to those ranks. During the discussion, Dr. Umar Johnson expressed disappointment in the perception some men hold regarding the role of women in society despite getting pushback on his stances from the show’s hosts.
Dr. Umar Johnson was a guest on the Daily Rap Up Crew show and a series of clips from Dr. Johnson’s appearance have since gone viral. In one especially heated exchange, Johnson explains
“At the end of the day, if I’m a call myself a man, the ultimate responsibility for the reconstruction of the Black community rests with me,” Johnson said to the trio of hosts for the Daily Rap Up Crew. “Yes, they [Black Women] have a role. Yes, they have responsibility. But as a man, as a leader, to say ‘I can’t fix this sh*t unless she changes’ — that’s not the definition of a man.”
Johnson received pushback at this point when one of the hosts retorted by saying that the current pool of women to choose for a mate is, in the host’s words, “masculine” and does not want to raise the children of another man. The host added that too much of the onus has been put on Black men to conform to women, but Johnson fired back.
“Why is she masculine? Because she had to raise the kids alone,” Johnson fired back before getting cut off and returning the energy. I’m telling you, mistakes made by Black men systemically gave rise to the conditions that allowed her to be masculine and made her end up with a man that you consider to be less than he should be. And I’m telling you, Black men are responsible for her being masculine because we have not helped her raise them children.”

Babyface and Anita Baker looked to be one of the top tours of 2023 with the two legendary acts making their talents on the road of their legion of fans. Despite what headlines say, Babyface assured the public that there is no beef between him and Baker.
Babyface, real name Kenneth Edmonds, sat down with The Jason Lee Show and ran over a few topics in their chat. Of course, fans of the seemingly feuding acts wanted to know the story behind the rift and a new trailer offers some insight.
Lee mentioned the issues between the pair which go back to a night when Baker decided to do the show on her own due to reported technical difficulties. In the wake of that evening, Baker says that Babyface’s fans began attacking her on social media and making her online life miserable. Baker even asked Babyface to call off his fans via Twitter.
Throughout it all, Babyface remained classy online and when speaking with Lee. He explained that the night of the show cancellation was “complicated” but didn’t go into deeper detail.
The talented singer and songwriter then shared that he had no issue being Baker’s supporting act and that he was looking forward to seeing her perform nightly as much as the fans were.
A trailer for the conversation is posted below. Tune in to REVOLT at 10 PM ET to watch the latest The Jason Lee Show episode.

Pusha T is in possession of an exact way of writing when it comes to his music, dating back to his days alongside his brother No Malice in the Clipse. A new track featuring the Thorton brothers surfaced earlier this week and it appears that Pusha T threw shots toward Jim Jones, sparking Twitter to debate the possibilities.
The unreleased track features strong verses from both Pusha T and No Malice over a busy track that played while the brothers walked in Pharrell Williams’ first Louis Vuitton show in Paris this past Tuesday (June 20). Jay-Z and Beyoncé were in attendance and both superstars were seen in the clip of the show enjoying the track.
Several snippets of the song made its way online and King Push’s signature snarl was in full effect on the track. However, many fans are examining the lyrics and believe Capo Jones is the target.
From the track:
Beware of my name, that there’s delegate/ You know I know where you’re delicate/ Crush you to pieces, I’ll hum a breath of it/ I will close your heaven for the hell of it/ You think it’d be valor amongst veterans/ I’m watching your fame escape relevance/ We all in a room but here’s the elephant/ You chasing a feature out of your element
This all may stem from Jones appearing on the Rap Caviar Podcast earlier this year and stating his opinion that Pusha T is not a top 50 rapper while also questioning his former drug dealing days. In the same breath, Jones did prop up King Push as a great lyricist and rapper but doesn’t believe the Virginia star has a great influence on the culture.
Jones is also aware of the track as it made its rounds and posted a video laughing at all the chatter while adding on his Instagram Story feed, “Let me know when they really ready.”
There is speculation that the new song from the Clipse will drop this coming Friday. For now, the reactions on Twitter to the track are all over the map. Check out the track in question below.

Hit-Boy is an artist with many talents and has provided heat for well over a decade to a who’s who list of rappers and singers during his still ongoing career. However, Hit-Boy turned heads after sharing via social media that he once provided a beat for a pornographic movie scene featuring the legendary Pinky aka PinkyXXX.
On Tuesday (June 20), Hit-Boy, 36, was in a sharing mood and revealed a tidbit of his history few knew about.
“the part of my journey i never told no one. my cousin phashon RIP [a dove and praying emojis]used to direct p*rn when i was younger. he used to buy beats from me for the score to his films. he bought this beat from me for a pinky scene when i was 18. i was tryn make dr dre type beats,” Hit-Boy shared.
We want to show you the video clip in question but we don’t want to get flagged so click here to see what the producer and rapper was referring to in the tweet.
In the clip, Pinky, who goes by her actual name Sarah Mirabelli these days, is seen in the clip doing her signature booty clap. Those who know, know. Do your Googles to find the other stuff.
Pinky is currently on a fitness journey and operates a pair of Instagram pages where she occasionally shares details of her day. She also operates a popular OnlyFans account and does occasional club hosting dates.
It appears that her time in front of the camera, at least in her former role, is also over. However, she does work as a director in the adult film world and features some of the top talents in that space on her site.
