'Black Ink Crew Chicago' Episode 7: Kat Addresses The Men At The Shop"

On this week's episode of  'Black Ink Crew Chicago'   Danielle and Charmaine both revealed a secret. Phor finds out bad news about his absent father. Kat gets into a heated argument with Van and Ryan. Don gets Ashley to let him come back home.

In the wake of Kat going to the tattoo convention in New York the fellas were still upset with the fact that she didn't support the shop by using 9Mag instead of Kat the Tat. While they were in their feelings Kat was feeling good about her accomplishments as a tattoo artist.

No matter how many times Don denies having sex with Charmaine she continues to accept his text messages and sexual advances. Charmaine revealed to Danielle that Don was all over her after he disrespected her and treated her like trash in New York. Danielle also revealed a secret when she tole Charmaine that she and Ryan kissed after a drunken night. 

Phor and Don went to Mississippi to see Phor's father who was in a coma. He didn't know his father very well so he told him how he felt about his absence. Without a response from the father explaining why he wasn't there Phor still felt he got the closure he needed.

Meanwhile Don showed Ashley how sorry he was and how much he wanted to come home to his family. There were rose petals on the floor and he gave her roses. Ashley took Don back but how long will it last?

After being gone for days from the shop Kat returned with an attitude. She didn't like the things she heard from Danielle and she addressed it. First it was Kat and Van in a screaming match and then Ryan had his say. Kat was left defending herself.  She was mad because Phor didn't have her back but where was Danielle and Charmaine?

During the argument Kat called Ryan a b***h several times which only made things worse.  As Ryan was trying to explain that their relationship was more than a business, Kat wasn't trying to hear it. She wanted them to understand that she had her own thing going on and they will either support her or not.

Things ended on a sour note between Ryan and Kat. She threatened to leave the shop since Ryan made it clear that they will only be about business  from now on. Will Kat leave the 9Mag? 

Stay tuned for more 'Black Ink Crew Chicago' Mondays on VH1!

'Love & Hip Hop New York' Season 6 Premiere: "Young B Joins Gwinin Fest Cypher"

Photos By Google

Monday on the premiere of 'Love & Hip Hop New York' season six Peter wakes up in Tara's bed. Rashida introduced her new job title as a music manager. Yandy showed interest in a new female artist. Rapper Papoose showed his wife Remy Ma just how much he had her back.

On the last reunion of 'Love & Hip Hop New York' it appeared that both Tara and Amina were done with Peter but apparently there's still a love triangle going on. Not only did Peter talk Amina into allowing him to move Tara in the same condo they reside in but they are still intimate with each other. Peter woke up in Tara's bed. He didn't tell Amina the truth about where she was nor did he tell Tara he and Amina were still together. What is it going to take for them to leave Peter alone and just co-parent? His love for Tara seems to be deeper than his love for Amina who should just go her way, be with her ex and forget about being married to Peter.

Remy Ma who rocked the mic after serving six years in prison for assault is ready to get back into the game. Her husband rapper Papoose made sure his wife didn't do anything to cause her to go back to prison. While she and Rah Ali aka Rashida were talking Papoose entered the club to get his wife. Remy Ma felt like she was being controlled by Pap like she was controlled in prison. Later on Pap surprised Remy by taking her to a castle where they will have an official wedding. He also got down on one knee and proposed to her. Pap just wants his wife to stay on guard and don't get caught up in doing anything that could jeopardize her parole. Way to go Papoose!

DJ Self put together what he called the Gwinin Fest Cypher which consisted of Moe and Lexi of the duo group BBOD (Bad B*****s On Deck), Young B featured on the single "Chicken Noodle Soup" and Mariah Lynn.

BBOD spit first. Mariah Lynn spit second and Young B kicked her verse last. Young B had the best flow. Her wordplay was intense. She definitely shut it down and she don't even have a record out on the radio yet. After the show Moe shared a few words with Young B and she stood her ground. As it turns out she and Moe got into a fight five years ago which caused Moe to get 15 stitches in her head. Young B reminded Moe what she's capable of. She never backed down. Yandy wasn't too impressed with Young B's behavior but some things you just can't avoid when it's in your face!

When it was all said and done Yandy was ready to get back into business as a  music manager. She was also getting prepared to deal with her husband Mendeecees who was about to serve 8 years in prison. Yandy will be left alone raising three children while her husband is away. 

Yandy brought up the idea of moving into a bigger place but because of Mendeecees fines and restitution he's been ordered to pay they will have to wait. See, bet Yandy wish she would have moved when Mendeecees found a place last season but she wasn't ready. Now they have to wait longer. 

Rich Dollaz made his debut on the first premiere of the season but he was laying low. He and Yandy attended the Gwinin Fest Cypher together watching their possible competition. Now that Rah Ali is a manager which artist is going to come out on top, BBOD or Young B? We shall see!

Stay tuned for more 'Love & Hip Hop New York' Mondays on VH1!

College Student Gets N-Word Stamped On Hand At Louisiania Bar

In Lousiana a female college students's night out with friends was short lived when the N-word got stamped on her hand.

According to the Grio, Taylor ward who is a freshman at Lsu went out with friends at a bar called Reggie's, when she noticed the N-word was spelled backwards on her hand (reggin).

Taylor got even more upset when she noticed what she called a racial shur was facing away from her instead of towards her.

"The bar stamped our hands at the door, and shortly after i noticed that the stamp spelled n****r backwards. I immediately showed my friends," Ward told CLUTCH.

Ward also said that she and her friends approached the manager regarding the stamp but he didn't have much to say which prompted them to leave the bar.

"We decided to bring it to the manager's attention. However, all he had to say was, it's a stamp, so we left," she added.

The LSU student stated that she was shocked and upset. She said other people had the stamp on their hand as well.

"I was really shocked. What upset me th emost is that it was blatantly disrespectful and it was obvious that the design of the stamp was intentional," Taylor explained.

When Taylor and her friends left Reggie's she posted a comment regarding the incident on Twitter.

"I just don't understand why we're still having to deal with racist incidents like this in 2016," Taylor tweeted.

No matter how many times someone says racism doesn't exist, it is quite evident that it does. Taylor Ward did the right thing by leaving the establishment. She also said she won't be returning to the bar but what happens now? 

This kind of behavior as well as other issues dealing with racism should be addressed. How do we prevent this kind of disrespect from continuing?

Young Entrepreneurs Making A Difference In Chicago

Despite the negativity and violence surrounding the youth there's still hope for brighter days, thanks to the young leaders making a difference for the up and coming generation to have something more positive to look forward to.

On the south side of Chicago three African American teenagers named Devin Buckley, Chris Berry and Regis Luckett started a production company called VIP Productions.The 16-year-olds have launched their own company after working at the new Blue 1647 Englewood Business Accelerator., VIP Productions services include picture editing, video editing, posters, event photography and event filming.

David Buckley said he's glad him and his partners started their own company because it shows black children can do something other than playing sports.

"I'm glad that we're doing this because this can show young black kids that you can actually do something, that playing sports isn't the only way you can make it in life," Buckley said.

Another young business owner who is paving the way for today's youth is Moziah Bridges. Bridges started his own bow tie line called Mo's Bows at the age of 9. In 2014 when he was 12 he appeared on the entrepreneur show called "Shark Tank". Now at age 13 the young entrepreneur's bow tie business is now worth $200,000. He also signed deal with Neiman Marcus and Cole Haan.

Children are blessed with many talents. Instead of focusing on sports, these young leaders want other children to know that they to ocan be leaders by starting their own business. Children without leaders and positive role models to look up to often fall prey to the streets. Many of them feel they have no outlet but with more young leaders more better days will come.

Will Kim and Kanye's New Baby Be Named Robert?

Congratulations to Kim and Kanye who welcomed their new baby boy on Saturday, December 5th.

Kimye had their first child in June 2013. After having a few minor complications Kim delivered three weeks before the second baby's due date.  While their daughter who is now two-years-old is named North, what will they be naming their son?

According to People Magazine, the married couple haven't came up with a first name but a close source revealed that it's a possiblity his middle name could be Robert, Kim's late father's and brother's name.


“It’s like the last thing Kanye and I did when North was born,” she shared. “We didn’t name her for like seven days. I feel like it will just come to us.”

It took Kimye a week to come up with a name for their daughter. Now that they have experienced parenthood it shouldn't take them no more than three days to come up with a name for their son. What about Kanye West jr. or Kanye's middle name Omari? Or maybe he can name their son after his father, Ray West.

What do you think Kanye and Kim's son name should be?

Exotic Dancer Exposes Apollo Nida In New Book

Reality star Apollo Nida was rumored to be given an early release from prison but that has yet to be confirmed. In the meantime his wife Phaedra Parks who has yet to file for divorce might be going forward with the process following the latest news.

As reported by Radaronline, exotic dancer turned author Cashaun Sidney released a book called Sordid Panties: Celebrities, Thots, Money & Scandal.
where she exposed the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star's infidelity after meeting him at a night club in Atlanta.

In the book she writes:


“He drove up with his brother, Michael, and they escorted us and two other young ladies into the club,” she claims in the book. “We entered the bar and had a few drinks and Apollo asked us if we wanted to go to Lenox Mall, a popular mall in Atlanta that held some of the most high-end stores in the city. Of course we were game.”

“We went to the mall and later as we were sitting in Bloomingdales, Apollo asked us if we wanted to accompany him to a night club where he would be heading later to meet up with a few other celebrity friends of his. We obliged.”


“We went back to his home to get dressed …” she writes. “It was evident that his wife was not in town.”

Parks, now 44, was nowhere to be seen, but signs of her were everywhere, according to Sidney: family pictures and merchandise related to her Phine Body fitness program.

“Inside the house I started rolling the blunt of pot and just kept my mouth shut as I looked around the woman’s house in awe,” she writes. “I couldn’t believe in were in Phaedra’s house.”

An obliging host, “Apollo poured shots of tequila for us and we proceeded to the back of the house where we sat by the pool and smoked the pot.”


“After smoking pot, we went back into the house to prepare for our night out,” she says. “We walked up stairs and he escorted us into the baby’s room. Yes the baby’s room of all the rooms. He asked my friend if she wanted to take a shower in the baby’s bathroom and she said yes….” (Nida is dad to sons Ayden, 4, and Dylan, 2.)


Sidney left the room but Nida and the pal stayed there for a while, she claims. “Were they both in the baby’s room taking a shower?” She admits, “I don’t know.”

Sidney also goes as far as calling Apollo a thot in the book.

In December 2014 Phaedra claim she was divorcing Nida. Now a year later they are still married. Is this enough to make her file for divorce?

Ayesha Curry Criticized for Choosing To Dress Classy Over Trendy

Ayesha Curry, wife of NBA super star Stephen Curry voiced her opinion on how she prefers to dress classy over trendy.

According to Vibe.com, Curry sent out some tweets that other women found offensive. 

These tweets were posted by Ayesha Curry on December 5:

Everyone's into barely wearing clothes these days huh? Not my style. I like to keep the good stuff covered up for the one who matters.

Just looking at the latest fashion trends. I'll take classy over trendy any day of the week. #saturdaynightinsight


and all I'm doing is sitting here reading a style weekly 😎😎😎. You guys definitely entertain me that's for sure.

Here are some of the women who responded to Ayesha's comment:

Lita James @lita_james114
reading what Ayesha Curry said & thinking that's nice..but there's STILL a man somewhere who STILL called you a h*e at some pt  #ItJustIs

felicia jean @felicianista
Sounds as if Ayesha Curry thinks her body/other women's bodies are like consumer goods marketed exclusively for use by men, or something.

Johnetta Elzie ✔ @Nettaaaaaaaa
Frightening how @ayeshacurry's comments inspired so many men to resort to being disrespectful + threatening towards women who didn't agree.

Despite those who disagree with what Curry said there were some men who had no problem with her comment.

Harry Styles AF @ImperfectGemini
I see nothing wrong with what Ayesha curry said....*stares at the offended tho*

Sean. @Seantaneous

don't be mad at ayesha curry because she got a wedding ring and you can't even get ketchup with your burger.

In response to the comments Ayesha ended things by saying regardless of if you like my "style of clothes" or not (which I don't care) please do not tear women down and degrade them... Not cool peeps.

What was wrong with Ayesah's comment? Why did some women get offensive? Every woman has their own style. Some are trendy and some are classy. Is there something wrong with showing some skin? Does that make you less of a woman if you do?

Mendeecees Harris Sentenced To 8 Years In Prison

On Tuesday, December 1st reality star Mendeecees Harris of 'Love and Hip Hop New York' was sentenced to eight years in prison on drug trafficking charges.

As reported by Yahoo.com, in April the 37-year-old pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and process heroin and cocaine from 2005 to 2012 in Rochestor, New York. He took a plea deal which he will do two years less than the maximum sentence in a federal prison.

In addition to his sentencing Harris agreed to give up the $171,000 he made from VH1's 'Love and Hip Hop New York'. He is also giving up his 2011 Audi RB which is worth $111,000.

Harris and Yandy Smith married on Memorial Day, May 25, 2015. The couple share two children together. Mendeecees has two other children from a previous relationship.

The new season of 'Love and Hip Hop New York' will premiere on Monday, December 14th.

Although Mendeecees has been sentenced, the viewers will see him on the episodes that led up to his sentencing.

Yandy who is now a mother of three, including lil Mendeecees is keeping a positive attitude throughout this personal matter. She is not the only reality star who has had to deal with her husband going to prison in the midst of the spotlight.

Apollo NIda of 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' also husband of Phaedra Parks was sentenced to eight years in prison for idenity theft and bank fraud in September 2014. Phaedra caught a lot of backlash because she said she would not take their children to see Apollo while he was in jail.

Do you think Yandy should take their children to see Mendeecees in prison?
Would you take your children to see their mother or father in prison?
