#IssaRae: Insecure Season 2 Review

The struggle was real last night but I made it through. After thinking I added HBO to my TV just so I can watch 'Insecure" I get an error message. After chatting with Comcast for 30 minutes and thanking the representative several times because I now can watch this anticipated series.  "This will cost you an additional $15.00 a month, is that ok?" says the rep. "Umm, sure", knowing damn well I am cancelling this subscription as soon as the season is over (and Starz). 


 I have taken great joy at watching the talented  Issa Rae glow-up. From youtube, to book deal, to the big screen - She wins for us all. Now back to show...

Issa
The scene opens up with Issa daydreaming about Lawrence while she is trying out the dating world. For a quick moment I was as caught up in the dream as she was....suddenly the real faces of the guys she was dating appears and realization that this is her new life without Lawrence. (inserts Issa rap about being a cheater lol) Issa now feels the need to throw a party to paint the picture she is enjoying the single life. She goes to the mailbox and noticed Lawrence received some mail from the court. She quickly will use this as an excuse to see Lawrence and throw in his face she is happy but to her disappointment he never showed up. 

Molly
Now off to Ms. Molly... Molly took the advice of Issa and sought help from a therapist. Of which she is afraid to open up and express to Issa her ongoing issue with finding the "right therapist". Meanwhile at work Molly feels like she is being slighted because she is both black and a woman in a law firm. She is accidentally given a check that belongs to another employee and feels slighted that she isn't being compensated appropriately for the work she does. She begins to look at that employee differently and sparks a conversation to see if he got a raise recently. 

Lawrence
Lawrence is introduced in the scene the same way he left us last season...D!cked-down in Tasha long-stroking her from the back. He is currently still looking for a place to stay and is crashing on an air mattress at his homeboy house. Making Tasha his weekend flame. His homeboy brings up that he doesn't take "the bank girl" on any dates and that he appears to just be smashing her. Trying to assure his nice-guy agenda he decides to take her on a date. (During the time he was scheduled to meet up with Issa). Soon after his date with Tasha Lawrence shows up at Issa place to pick up the mail. He knocks on the door to retrieve his mail and Issa opens the door with letter in hand. Lawrence then makes the excuse that he has to get something from out the bathroom. She allows him inside her home. As Lawrence makes his way back towards the front door he swoops Issa up and proceeds to bang her out on the couch. 

Confused and uncertain of what just happened between Lawrence and Issa. I think he was trying to close this chapter with Issa but we all know he just made matters even worse. You can clearly see that Issa took that tryst as a "we working it out and we will be back together" but not for Lawrence.

The Real Reason Karlie Redd is on LHHATL

Like most reality TV shows the title doesn't match the characters. Real Houswives don't have to be married - heck you don't even need a house. There is no difference when it comes to the cast of Love and Hip Hop - Atlanta.

Throughout the seasons I am constantly wondering What is Karlie's connection to the show? Besides obviously holding onto Young Joc and linking herself with any new/old cast-mates to maintain her relevance. But how did she get on the show in the first place?

I’ve just learned that the 46-year-old VH1 Resident-Thot is the babymother of one of America’s most wanted fugitives 49-year-old Nathan ‘Nate’ Hill. Nate is currently serving a lifetime prison sentence, is the biological father of Karlie's 18-year-old daughter, Jazmine – rumored to be a student at Atlanta’s Clark University.

Now here is where things get janky and clears up why Karlie doesn't mention her kids or her life prior to 40 years old. HSK reported, back in January 1998 – Hill, who remained on the lamb for two-years, fleeing to Africa to avoid prosecution for supplying the Gangster Disciples and Vice Lords gangs with more than 6,600 pounds of cocaine from 1987 to 1995, was tracked down and caught by U.S. law enforcement officials in one of the most remote corners of the world: Conakry, capital of the West African nation of Guinea.

Here’s what deputy U.S. Marshal Bill O’Malley had to say about Hill’s arrest:

“Hill, who was wanted in Chicago on murder and drug-trafficking charges and was named to the U.S. Marshals Service’s 15 Most Wanted List in 1996, was traced to Conakry through telephone records in a related case. Hill was apprehended and flown to Chicago. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and was ordered held without bail.”

This after it was reported back in December 1996,“two girlfriends of Hill’s are also missing and presumed to be in hiding with him”.

That’s before Hill was sentenced to life and fined $8.5 million, and forfeited cash and property valued at $5 million. He was convicted of drug conspiracy, tax fraud, money laundering, operating an ongoing criminal enterprise and ordering the killings of three enemies, two of whom were, in fact, killed.

With his drug money, Hill moved into the recording business, founding New York-based Pocketown, named after his South Side neighborhood at 78th and Stony Island. Pocketown scored a top 10 music video with “Froggy Style” by Nuttin’ Nyce in 1995 and published “Wandering Eyes,” which was on the soundtrack of Whoopi Goldberg’s film “Sister Act 2.”

Cardi B Went In and Let Have on Peter Gunz - Do You Agree?

If like me and many others you tuned in to VH1's Love and Hip Hop Reunion show. Despite the lackluster season the reunion is where all the tea is pipping hot.

Part 1 of  3 “Love & Hip Hop: New York” season 6 reunion was all the way lit (ain't thats what the young kids call it now, lol) One particular beef came from the former stripper Cardi B against Peter "Polygamist" Gunz for impregnating his wife Amina Buddafly Pankey and side/main chic/baby-momma Tara Wallace.

Apparently, during the reunion Peter decided to throw stones while leaving in a glass house at Cardi B by calling her a "hoe" for receiving money from tricks she smash. 

Not one to hold her tongue Cardi responds,

“You got everything you wanted from me, why can’t I get something back? Look what you gave Amina and Tara: BABIES! And that’s it. Are you paying both of their rent? You know you not paying their rent.”

Peter quickly took defense and said, “Do you know me?”

Cardi quickly gathered him together by saying:

“I see what I see on TV. Men like you are the type of men I be talking about. You need to get from these guys what you want. You get p***y out of both of them, and what are they getting in return? What are they getting in return?! They look STUPID on TV!”

and drives her point home by saying...

“Old, washed up a** n*ggas who be fuckin’ b*tches lives up and their reputations. She’s [Amina] a talented as woman and Tara is a smart a** woman and you have them looking DUMB on TV. Love your wife! And love your kids. Look how you show your daughters how women should get treated!”

Geesh...here's the clip on how it all went down:

Draya Michele: Gibert Arenas Is Not My Son Father (For the Last Time)

It has been rumored for years that Draya Michele‘s first-born son is by NBA star, Gilbert Arenas. The newly pregnant Draya has finally had enough and used her social media to clear this rumor after a clip of Basketball Wives alumni Jennifer Williams‘ discussing Draya and stating that Gilbert confessed that Draya's son was his. 

#PressPlay: Oop #Draya stepped into The Shade Room and she definitely isn't here for the shade 😩😩😩 #JenniferWilliams #LauraGovan #Next15

A video posted by The Shade Room (@theshaderoominc) on Feb 10, 2016 at 3:14pm PST

Draya Michele posted a photo of herself on Instagram at 17 after giving birth to first born. 

She writes,

Here is Draya ..... At 17 years old I got pregnant by a man who became incarcerated for 10 when I was 7 months pregnant. With help from my mom, I was able to survive. Now, judging by how under-developed and young I was, besides living in a very small city in PA..... There's no way in 2002 I got pregnant by some athlete. If I had, there's not a chance in fucking hell I would have wasted 7 years of my life working "in the club" because clearly child support would be on fleek. I have never received A DIME of child support in my life and that's ok. I have also NEVER attempted to say anyone other than who my son is named after (yes he's a junior) was the father. My son's father lives in pa and makes an honest living being a barber. This shit is completely embarrassing to me and my family. And I intend on putting this to final rest. I'm pissed that I had to take time from remodeling my office in my brand new 4000 square foot warehouse to even address this. But I've been quiet too long. I've also let people tell "my story" on tv too many times. I'll speak my truths..... You speak your own and keep whatever momentum going by doing that. God bless. Leave the kids out of it for heaven's sake. #seemybabyseat#boxdye #walmart

Draya is currently expecting a second son with fiancé Orlando Scandrick.

ForeverMeah says... well thats that.

Stevie J vs. Nick Cannon: I Smashed Mariah Twice!

Things got a little heated between Nick Cannon and Stevie J on an upcoming episode of "Wild 'N Out".

Photo: TMZ

TMZ reports, Nick Cannon got more than he bargained for when some "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" stars went on his show and one bragged about banging his estranged wife.

Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez were guests on "Wild 'N Out" Monday when the 2 ex-lovebirds squared off during the rap battle against Nick and his crew. It started out all fun and games, but got progressively nasty. At one point Stevie J said he banged Mariah Carey not once but twice.

Nick got pissed off, and then told Stevie J he should worry about Joseline because she was sleeping with Rick Ross.

It got down and dirtier, to the point Nick threatened the old Hollywood adage, "You'll never work in this town again," because he has so many TV shows and connections.

Eyewitnesses tell us it looked like they were about to come to blows, so producers stepped in, separated them and calmed them down.

ForeverMeah says...Mariah been around. Righ, Cam?

#BabyNews: Little Women ATL Star is Having a Baby with Who?

Well it seems like the "Little Women: Atlanta" stars Ashley "Minnie" Ross wasn't lying after all about her relationship with rapper Pastor Troy. TMZ has reported, the couple are expecting a little miracle to join them soon.

Ashley and PT's alleged off-and-on romance has been covered on the show, but we're told they want to keep the pregnancy off camera ... so no diaper drama story lines, for now.

Check out "Little Women: Atlanta" on Wednesday nights at 10PM EST.

Rudy is Married Now? Keshia Knight-Pulliam Marries Ex-NFL Player

Just as the news broke that Keshia Knight-Pulliam and TV personality Big Tigger were no longer together. Rumors immediately began to swirl that she is now dating Atlanta's own Mr. Ed Hartwell. The 37-year-old former athlete was married to "Real Housewives of Atlanta" ex-castmate Lisa Wu.

The new couple shared on Friday via Instagram a sweet kiss as she sports a veil and he rocks a classic black tux.

"The most AMAZING day of our life!!! #IAmOfficiallyMrsHartwell"

Keisha opened up about her big day via her podcast "Kandidly Keshia" on Friday.

"We did it literally in our living room in our home," Keshia explained. "We come from large families, I'm one of four, Ed is one of six. [Guests] had no clue they were coming to a wedding. They thought they were coming to a New Year's party."

"I'm happy every day. I thank God every day," Ed gushed about his wife on the show. "No matter what I go through, I thank him every day that I get to wake up next to such a beautiful angel that he sent into my life."

"It's not until you find 'the one' do you feel the difference than any other relationship," the 36-year-old actress added.

"He came in and actually started working for my non-profit and that's what opened the door for us to start dating," she added of how they met.

DC 'Catfish Reality Show' Star Pleads Guilty in Metro Threats

The Catfish Reality Show Star has pleaded guilty in federal court to calling in threats against Metro stations, buses and trains in the nation's capital.

Jerez Nehemiah Coleman pleaded guilty Friday to making threats involving explosive materials. Coleman, who is to be sentenced Feb. 26, faces up to 10 years in prison, but the plea, which is subject to court approval, calls for up to 27 months sources has reported. 

Back in May, I reported that he phoned in false bomb and hostage threats approximately 11 times. Each incident resulted in an emergency response and some led to disruptions in transit service.

Police used cell phone records, video surveillance and telephone audio to identify the suspect. In return for his guilty plea, the other charges will be dismissed.

According to a statement he signed, Coleman placed more than 300 calls to 911 from December 2014 to May 2015.

Coleman, also known as Jerez Nehemiah Stone-Coleman and "Kidd Cole," was once exposed on MTV's "Catfish" reality show about online scams.

Black Ink Crew Chicago: Who's Rachel Leigh’s Baby Daddy?

Yes, I too enjoy the ratchets and last night was no different. +VH1  introduced us to a new spin-off show called Black Ink Crew Chicago.  

Taking its viewers into the life of Chicago's prominent tattoo shop, 9Mag. 

I must admit it was very refreshing looking at these fine brothers handle business and surprisingly they are not only good looking they can actually TATTOO (what a concept).

The show opens up giving a brief insight of each cast member and what they do for the company. Something that was clearly missing from Black Ink New York. 

The cast includes:

Ryan is the owner of 9Mag, a prominent Chicago tattoo shop. Ryan created 9Mag as a legacy to his late sister and niece. Ryan's drive and ambition are the strength of 9Mag, and he'll do whatever he can to keep his family together.

Kat is the hottest female tattoo artist in the Chicago area. She is the "little sister" of the shop and has the guys wrapped around her finger. Phor and Kat flirt shamelessly, but Kat finds it hard to commit because of her ambitious career goals.

Phor is a 9Mag tattoo artist, but his true love lies with music. He burns the candle at both ends - tattooing, spending time in the studio, and, of course, partying with his 9Mag family. He's quite the ladies' man, but he has his eye on Kat.

Charmaine is 9Mag's event planner. Her flirtatious nature creates tension and drama in the shop, especially between Don and his girlfriend, Ashley. But that doesn't stop Charmaine from tearing it up on AND off the dance floor. This Southern belle is a fireball and definitely knows how to capture a room.

Don is Phor's little brother, best friend, and assistant. Don has a great sense of humor and a big heart. Though he gets into his fair share of trouble, Don tries to maintain his focus so he can provide for his girlfriend, Ashley, and their two year old son, DJ.

Danielle is 9Mag's "good girl" receptionist who strives to keep it together when things are far from perfect. She is Charmaine's cousin, and Kat's former college roommate. While Danielle has her life together, she definitely knows how to throw down and party with the best of them. And, if you mess with her girls, watch out!


Van is Ryan's former business rival, and got his start tattooing in his mom's basement. Over time, he developed an incredible reputation as an artist. He took it to another level when he partnered with Ryan, his previous competition. Van is the "big brother" of the group and always tries to hold it down for the 9Mag family.

You can catch the first episode her if you missed it

Did anyone notice how they deliberately omitted who's the baby daddy of  Ryan's ex-girlfriend Rachel Leigh 3-year old son? 

Photo: Bossip.Com

I immediately went to 'black twitter' and inquired about the mystery sperm donor only to be shocked that it was R&B singer Jeremih! 

As he mentioned with Billboard last November, the singer felt that many of his struggles toward the end of 2014 partially stemmed from an ongoing fight he had been engaging in to get rights to see his then 2-year-old son:

Jeremih says he’s ultimately responsible for his stutter-steps, explaining that he was consumed by a court battle with his child’s mother while “Don’t Tell ‘Em” was rising. “I stopped caring about being Jeremih over the last few months,” he says. “A lot of people don’t know I have a 2-year-old son. His mom wasn’t allowing me to see him, and it was messing with me. I was internally unbalanced. But I just got out of that trial and I won.” (source)

Not sure why they called him a rapper on the show but I love the fact that Ryan has stepped in as the father figure to Jeremih's son. Based on Jeremih's statement with Billboard I take it its 3-sides to this story. Especially since they blurred the faces of the son, maybe he didn't approve of his child being on the show. 

Which show would you rather watch? #BlackInkCrew #BlackInkNYC #BlackInkChicago

ForeverMeah says... 

Ryan is truly a gem. Faced with the death of his sister he maintaining a leveled head and trying to raise his son with Rachel. Rachel on the other hand seems like she only love Ryan as a friend but probably will go from 0 to 100 if he ever decided to move on.

Rachel can't get over Ryan cheated when she was pregnant with their child even though she went and got pregnant with Jeremih. 

Kat --- umm, not sure yet. I need to see her more to form my opinion of her. I'll just say she's a great tattooist. 

Phor -- is hilarious. I believe i've came across a music video he did in the past. I love his style and clearly he and Kat had sex or will soon. 

Charmaine wants to be someone's wife but having sex on TV in the bathroom with your colleague (Don) just might not be the best way to go about getting that ring.

Don needs to leave his baby mother cause now the world know you ate the booty of your co-worker and kissed your girl within 30-minutes of the show. Don is sexy but not so smart. 

Danielle and Van  don't remember much about them but I'm sure it'll be something to discuss soon.

Bottom line I am all drawn in and can't wait to watch next weeks episode. It's good to see Chiraq in another light besides the violence.

MediaTakeOut.Com's Founder Fred Will Be on Bravo Tonight!

Ok, RuPaul, Fred Mwangaguhunga, founder of Mediatakeout.com, and wife (yes wife) Lawyer Notoya Green will appear on +Bravo’s “My Fab 40th” on Tuesday, September 29th at 10pm EST. 

Here's a little backstory on the couple - As some may know these two were high school sweethearts. In the 12 years they dated before tying the knot, the kindred soul mates kept their long-distance love afloat throughout their college years, then once reunited in their hometown of New York City, they even managed to stay together while enduring the tedious strains of full-time law school. 

By the time they were both practicing attorneys, they were already co-owners of a successful laundry delivery business and experts at balancing careers and love. 

Since Fred has been shopping around reality shows for the past 3 years I wasn't surprised when Bravo revealed that the show will not only celebrate Notoya's 40th Birthday but will also be a renewal of vows ceremony officiated by Rev. Al Sharpton in front of guests La La Anthony, +Floyd Mayweather and some other big names. 

Here's a sneak peak of the show. Will you be watching the Drag Race show?

DC 'Catfish Reality Show' Star Charged with Terror Threats Against Metro

DC Fox 5 News reported that Metro Transit Police has arrested Jerez Nehemiah Stone-Coleman, a.k.a Kidd Cole, on charges of making terror threats against Metro stations, buses and trains.

Jerez was arrested Wednesday morning at his home in the 1600 block of Fort Davis Place, SE.

Investigators say Stone-Coleman phoned in false bomb and hostage threats approximately 11 times. Each incident resulted in an emergency response and some led to disruptions in transit service.

Police used cell phone records, video surveillance and telephone audio to identify the suspect. He is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday (5/28).

Police released the following details about some of the threats:

On January 22, 2015, the caller stated that he and his friends were planning to take hostages on Metrobus 6149 and that they would kill the hostages if they were not paid a $15 million ransom.

On February 22, 2015, MTPD received a bomb threat against Metrobus 7130 from a caller who advised that an individual wearing “all black clothing” and glasses had threatened to blow up the bus and was brandishing an AS-50 sniper rifle. The caller advised that the bus was near the Capitol.

On May 12, 2015, the caller claimed that someone had approached his nephew and told him that he/she was planning to blow up the Metro station.

In another 911 hoax call, a violent threat was conveyed against a Metrobus in the District of Columbia. The bus was stopped, evacuated and an innocent citizen who matched the lookout given by the caller was detained, questioned and frisked.

On April 14, 2015, the caller told a 911 dispatcher that a bomb had been placed at the McPherson Square Metro station, and that there was a bomb at the White House.

On May 5, 2015, the caller claimed that he had received information that certain individuals were planning to blow up a bus at the Potomac Avenue Metro station.
