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?

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.

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.

 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.

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!

"Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel'le"

"Surviving Compton" Cast

As a cast member of the reality series 'R&B Divas' singer Michel'le spoke about her past relationships with her ex and children's fathers' Dr. Dre and Suge Knight. The little information that she revealed left viewers wanting to know more. What really happened to Michel'le?

Singer Michel'le

On Saturday, October 15, Lifetime television network presented the docufilm "Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel'le" featuring the songstress herself. Playing Michel'le was Rhyon Nicole Brown who also starred in the family drama series "Lincoln Heights". Music producer Dr. Dre was played by Curtis Hamilton from the television series "Castle" and Suge Knight was played by R. Marcos Taylor who also played Suge Knight in the biopic "Straight Outta Compton".

Rhyon Nicole Brown went from playing the baby sister in "Lincoln Heights" to playing a female legend in the hip hop game. She did a great job playing the role of Michel'le almost as good as Angela Basset did in the biopic film "What's Love Got To Do With It" the story about Ike and Tina Turner.

Curtis Hamilton

Curtis Hamilton also did a good job acting as Michel'le's ex Dr. Dre. His portrayal of Dr. Dre was better than Corey Hawkins who played Dr. Dre in "Straight Outta Compton". Hamilton's look and attitude was similar to the real Dr. Dre R. Marcos Taylor who played Suge Knight for the second time around wasn't the best impression but it doesn't take much to play a bodyguard!

Like most biopics "Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel'le" focuses on how Michel'le made her debut into the music industry. She went from being featured on World Class Wreckin Cru's track "Turn Off The Lights" to making tracks of her own. Michel'le's first break out single was titled "No More Lies" followed by "Nicety" and the popular hit "Something In My Heart".

While Michel'le was pursuing her music career she and Dr. Dre became close ans started seeing each other. Michel'le knew she wasn't the only woman in Dre's life but she believed she was the main woman. As toxic as Dre's and Michel'le's relationship was she stayed hoping he would get better, but he only got worse as he continued to be physically abusive towards her. Noone ever stepped in to help Michel'le not even their manager Jerry.

After Michel'le had her first baby boy with Dre he left her stranded at home alone, with no food and no lights. Michel'le called Suge who came to her rescue and put her in rehab. When Michel'le returned home she was in a better place and she didn't go back to Dre. Instead she started dating Suge Knight. The singer described Knight as being gentle and kind. He made her feel loved in a way Dre never did.

Sooner or later Michel'le saw a different side of Knight when she asked him about releasing her second album. Knight hit Michel'le but according to the movie, it only happened once. When Suge took over Death Row Records things started to look suspicious to Michel'le but she was in the dark as to what was really going on. By then she had two children, a son with Dr. Dre and a daughter with Suge. While Suge was locked up, his attorney persuaded Michel'le into signing documents that earned her $30,000 a month. She later found out Suge was involved in some illegal shady business with the company and used her to do it. She also found out he was still married which meant she was not legally married to Suge.

Towards the end, Michel'le courageously confronted Suge and let him know that she knew everything.  She then left Suge where he was standing, took her two children and moved back home with her grandmother. 

"Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel'le" didn't have a five star cast or a five star performance, but compared to the Aaliyah biopic it was well worth watching. Every documentary tells a person's story but not every documentary is going to be satisfactory to it's viewers.

Rapper Shaun Doe

Jamar wasn't impressed with Shaun's initial impression. He felt as if he came off too arrogant with someone who could have possibly helped him get further in his rap career. As the conversation continued Shaun questioned what Jamar had done lately. He told him he didn't need him and the tension grew deeper, forcing Jamar to dismiss Shaun for good.

Later on in the episode while Dana and Jamar were out playing pool, they got into another heated discussion regarding Shaun. Jamar who called the rapper Bozo the clown, advised his wife to try again with another artist. He also added that managing a male artist was out of the question. Jamar made it clear that he wasn't going to accept her being out til 5 or 6 in the morning with another man. No matter how much Dana tried to get her very conservative husband to change his mind he stood by his decision. That's it, That's all!
