Does LIl Wayne Have A 15-Year-Old Son?

Looks like Lil Wayne might have another child that he apparently did not know anything about!

According to TMZ, a female name Keiotia Watson has filed legal documents claiming the Cash Money rapper is the father of her 15-year-old son whose name is Dwayne. In the legal documents Watson stated that she and Weezy had sexual relations in June 2001, the time she allegedly got pregnant. She claims that her now teenage son was conceived in February 2002.

TMZ reports that a couple years ago the 35-year-old was ordered to take a paternity test and to pay $5,000 a month in child support, but Wayne has not complied to the order, but according to some sources close to Weezy, he was never served any papers regarding this alleged son of his.

Lil Wayne whose real name is Dwayne Carter has not responded to these allegations. However, a close source to Wayne says he has plans on taking a paternity test. He will also take full responsibility and pay what he owes if he is the father.


Wayne already has four children by four women. He has three sons and one daughter. If he is the father of Dwayne he will have five children. Doesn’t look like he’s going to be retiring no time soon!

With the new All Star Game format players from the goal is to see top players like Lebron James and Stephen Curry play on the same team. 

This new format will have two captains chosen from the leading fan votes. The captain will select his team from the players who are voted in as starters and reserve’s. These players will be chosen regardless of which conference they come from. Selecting the 24 players will remain the same, 12 players from the east and 12 players from the west. The teams will consist of 10 starters including two guards, which will be selected by a combination of fan votes, basketball players and basketball media. The 14 reserves will be selected by head coaches. They will vote for two guards, three front court players and two players of any position long as it’s from their conference.

'POWER' Episode.7 Recap: "You Lied To My Face"

Photo by Google Images


On this week's episode of 'Power' secrets were revealed, as well as, remained hidden, blood was shed, Tasha gave in to temptation, and the mystery behind Greg's murder is yet to be resolved. Actor Larenz Tate also guest starred in this episode.

After almost losing his life Tariq was finally back at home with his family. Unfortunately, he wasn't as happy to see them as they were to see him. Kanan who saved Tariq's and his father, James St. Patrick aka Ghost life gave Tariq his version of what happened with himself, Ghost and his mother, Tasha that led to him going to prison. When Tariq got home he immediately lashed out at Tasha. Due to the mental and emotional state he was in he proceeded to portray highly aggressive and volatile behavior towards his sister.

Tariq has so much anger for his dad that he didn't tell him the truth about Dre who knew about Kanan. Dre kept his mouth closed about Kanan and Tariq's kidnapping assuming he didn't want anything to happen to his daughter, but by the looks of things he is trying to take over the organization. Putting Dre in charge while Ghost was away was a big mistake. Let's keep in mind that Dre was working for Kanan first.

When Tommy approached Dre about Kanan he went along with Tariq's story. He also had a hand in Julio's death which will soon surface.

Silver and Tasha

While Ghost is on a mission to find out who framed him for Greg Knox murder, clearly his focus isn't on his wife, Tasha. Silver, who represented Ghost after Proctor was removed from the case had an eye for Tasha. Last week's episode of  'Power' he made some sly moves but nothing Tasha didn't pick up on. After a night of Karaoke Silver and Mrs. St. Patrick shared a passionate kiss. Following that night the two acted on their physical emotions and got even closer, bare naked! Does that mean Tasha is moving on from her husband or is she just playing Silver as part of her game?

Getting back to Greg's murder, Angela is determined to find out who killed her ex. She knows Ghost is innocent. Mike Sandoval is still trying to cover his tracks to possibly put the murder on someone else.

Tony Teresi and Ghost

Proctor who once represented Tommy warns Ghost about his partner in crime. He tells him that he's a threat which Ghost is too naive to see at the moment. As Tommy's life continues to spiral  out of control he learns that Tony Teresi who was in jail with Ghost, is his father.

With only three episodes left the mole and Greg's real murderer is closer to being revealed. In the meantime what is going to happen to Kanan. Ghost isn't just going to let what happened to his son go that easy. As Tariq continues to rebel against his parents will he run back into the arms of Kanan? As far as Dre goes once Tommy and Ghost find out he had Julio killed he will have no choice but to run to Kanan. So who will be the one to put Dre to rest? Tommy, Ghost or Kanan?

':'Love And Hip Hop Atlanta'; "Tommie Lee Fired Following Fight With Karlie Redd"

Tommie Lee of 'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta'


Earlier this month it was reported that Tommie Lee of the reality series 'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta' has been given the boot following a physical altercation with one of her co-stars.

According to sources, Tommie was arrested in March 2017 after she allegedly punched Karlie Redd multiple times in the face while filming in Jamaica for the upcoming season. Lee reportedly attacked Redd after she called Lovely Mimi a "clown". But we all know that Tommie's issues with Redd goes deeper than her calling Mimi a "clown".

Last season on 'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta' Tommie found out Karlie had a thing with her ex love Scrapp DeLeon who is serving time in prison. From day one she's been out for revenge against Karlie Redd. To get even with Karlie she not only went out with Yung Joc she also had a threesome with him and another woman.

Unfortunately, sleeping with Yung Joc wasn't enough to satify Tommie so she went after Karlie again. She was also accused of kicking and punching security while they were trying to hold her down. Since Tommie made her appearance on 'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta' she has had several run-ins with her fellow castmates including Joseline Hernandez and Jessica Dime which she ultimately paid the price for. Following the physical attack against Karlie the producers of the show were told to terminate Lee due to her violent behavior.

Despite Tommie being fired from the show she still got her wine called 'Le Don'. Although Karen, Lil Scrappy and Jessica Dime had concerns about Tommie launching anything dealing with alcohol, that could possibly be a good business move for her. You never know the wine lovers might like it!

Ceasar of 'Black Ink Crew' and Karlie Redd of 'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta


As we all know and heard Ceasar and Dutchess of 'Black Ink Crew' have officially broken up. While it's been well known that Dutchess has already moved on, Ceasar has a new boo too!

On the show 'Black Ink Crew' following his break up with Dutchess we saw Ceasar booed up with a new chick named tattoo baby. But she was just a rebound because apparently he has moved on to another reality star, Karlie Redd of 'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta'.

During an interview on the Ed Lover show Karlie revealed that she and Ceasar are not having sex. Yes, Karlie Redd is celibate!

According to the reality star and entrepreneur, she is not ready to jump in between the sheets with Ceasar just yet.

"I want to make sure that this relationship is real because we're both in the limelight and people are watching under a microscope," she said. "Because of that, I just want to make sure it's real."

 Karlie who was seen with her ex Yung Joc on the new season of 'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta', also dated singer Lyfe Jennings and former 'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta' star Benzino.

Since things didn't work out with her previous beaus will Ceasar be the one to put a ring on it?

We shall see!

'Black Ink Crew': "Did Dutchess Cheat On Ceasar?"

Ceasar and Dutchess of 'Black Ink Crew'


It was in 2015 when Ceasar and Dutchess of 'Black Ink Crew' got engaged. Unfortunately, the tattoo artist love birds reportedly broken up last November. As we seen on this season of the reality tv series it was revealed that Ceasar had a secret baby. Although Ceasar denied the accusation, Dutchess believed it to be true after he failed to meet up with her to discuss the matter. Dutchess then went to Ceasar crib to get some of her belongings where she noticed some nude pics and messages from other females on Ceasar computer. Is that what pushed Dutchess over the edge?

Whatever the case may be it seems as though Dutchess has already moved on. According to reports, Dutchess has been seen out in public with her new boo NFL player Zach Sanchez but rumor has it that the female tattoo artist also allegedly cheated on Ceasar while they were engaged.

In the caption below the unknown male Dutchess allegedly dated outed her on Instagram: 



So if this was suppose to occur in June of 2016 that would mean Ceasar wasn't the only one dipping on the side.

'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta': "Should Jasmine Have Kept Her Mouth Closed?"

Jasmine Washington of 'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta'


On the premiere episode of  'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta' seeing Karlie and Joc back together wasn't a surprise. But the biggest shocker was when Jasmine Washington revealed Kirk Frost was the father of her baby boy Kannon. Kirk not only denied being the father, but he also denied even knowing Jasmine. Later on more information regarding this accusation came to light with the help of messy Karlie who eventually broke the news to Rasheeda. 

According to Jasmine, she was Kirk's side chick for over a year. She said she quit her job as a stripper at Kirk's request. She added that during that time he game her allowance every month and gave her a vehicle. We also learned that Kirk provided Jasmine and their alleged son a place to live, right under Rasheeda's nose.

Kirk Frost and wife Rasheeda

Last week on 'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta' Jasmine told her boyfriend Rod Bullock, one of Mimi Faust exes, that she let the cat out of the bag to Kirk and his friends.  Rod showed no sympathy for Jasmine when she told him Kirk denied knowing her and fathering her child. In fact, he reminded her of the agreement she and Kirk made including buying her silence. So what made Jasmine break her silence? Could it be because Kirk stopped giving her allowance?

In October 2016 Jasmine alleged that Kirk no longer provided for her financially, leaving her without any income. As a result she requested Kirk take a paternity test so that she can collect the $2500 she is seeking in child support.

Jasmine probably thought she was doing a good thing when she let the world know about the affair she was having with Kirk and him being the father of her child. However, she didn't think about the consequences that would come after she made this public announcement. 

Should Jasmine have kept her mouth closed or did she do the right thing?

'Black Ink Crew': "Dutchess Takes Over Black Ink 113"

The season has just began and there's chaos and confusion already at Black Ink 113. Ceasar appointed his cousin Teddy as the manager but as it turns out he couldn't handle running the all girl tattoo shop as he set out to do.

Young Bae of 'Black Ink Crew'

From the time Teddy was put in position he started making big moves.First he put a stripper pole in the front of the store. Then he turned Ceasar's office into what he called the Boom Boom room. He hired a new female artist named Young Bae and another artist whom Dutchess and Ceasar previously turned down named Tiffany.

Teddy of 'Black Ink Crew'

 After having a fight with Ceasars new assistant named Kitty, Young Bae heard a rumor about Tiffany talking about her and she addressed it but not in a professional manner. Too bad that wasn't the only bad thing happening at the shop. When Ceasar and Dutchess arrived at the shop on 113th he was greeted with an extremely high light bill for $3900. He was even more pissed when he learned about the fight between new tattoo artists Young Bae and Tiffany and his office had been transformed into a sex domain.

Dutchess Lattimore of 'Black Ink Crew'

To make matters worse Ted was no where to be found which only made Ceasar more furious. Before the boss man left the shop he dismissed Ted and placed Dutchess in charge of running 'Black Ink 113'. Too bad so sad for Sky! Did Ceasar make the right choice by putting Dutchess in charge?

In other news Richard formerly known as O S**t proposed to his girlfriend NIkki and she said yes!

Congrats to Richard and Nikki on their engagement and good luck to all the females at Black Ink 113. You are going to need!
