How’s it going down at DMX’s upcoming sentencing for tax evasion? The rapper, 47, who has been incarcerated since his bail was revoked back in January, will be using his songs to convince a judge to release him on Thursday, according to his attorney, Murray Richman. DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, is using rap to beat the rap. X’s tracks will help U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff “understand him genuinely in his voice,” Richman said in court documents made public on Monday. Richman also explained that DMX may be too emotional to address the judge at the sentencing, The Associated Press reported. Rakoff is the same judge that revoked DMX’s bail for failing a drug test, a violation of the condition that he stay sober. X had been ordered to obey certain conditions after he pleaded guilty to a tax evasion charge in November. DMX had failed to pay $1.7 million dollars in earnings between 2002 and 2005, according to a federal investigation. The rapper also earned more than $2.3 million from 2010 through 2015, but paid no tax liabilities, prosecutors said in court papers filed last week.  X had tried to get managers and attorneys to shoulder […]

Stephon Clark, a father of two, was shot at over 20 times by police officers—in his own backyard. The cops who killed him say that they mistook his cell phone for a firearm and “feared” for their lives.

In  February 2016, actor  Terry Crews claimed Hollywood agent Adam Venit groped his groin twice. In November 2017, Crews filed a police report. However, earlier this month, the district attorney rejected a felony filing and sent the case to the City Attorney, who said the case was barred by the statute of limitations. According to TMZ, “It appears the D.A. rejected a felony filing because the alleged conduct did not rise to the level of a felony. If the D.A. felt it was felony conduct, she could have filed the case because a felony would have been within the statute of limitations.” In addition, they admit Venit groped Crews, however, “Venit did not make contact with Terry’s skin when he allegedly grabbed his genitals, and also because Venit didn’t restrain Terry.” In an interview with BuzzFeed News, Crews, 49, spoke out about the current state of his career. His phone hasn’t been ringing, especially from Avi Lerner, a producer for the film franchise Expendables, who he called out on Twitter for telling him to drop the lawsuit against Adam Venit.

In case you missed it, Grammy winner Bruno Mars was the topic of discussion on the popular web series The Grapevine. The show features a panel of Black millennials having spirited conversations on everything that ranges from colorism to politics to pop culture. A recent episode focused on Bruno Mars and whether he is a “culture vulture.” The two-part episode is over an hour long, but there were a variety of opinions. Some went so far as to compare him to Miley Cyrus while others said he is a person of color so there is no comparison. However, the episode has gotten attention for even having the conversation, which some have claimed is far-fetched. See a brief clip below — before you watch,  the commentator says, “Bruno Mars has an album of the year Grammy and Prince never won an album of the year Grammy.” She is right, but Prince lost his album of the year Grammy in 1985 to Lionel Richie, another Black artist. Just saying… You can watch the full debate here. Is this a moot point considering the innovators of the New Jack Swing era have completely praised Bruno  and even worked with him? These are legends, they clearly have […]

For those of you who don’t know your Cosby Show history, Lisa Bonet, who played Denise Huxtable, had a contentious relationship with Bill Cosby in real life. Cosby was also allegedly upset Bonet became pregnant by Lenny Kravitz and did a nude scene in the 1987 movie Angel Heart. She was reportedly fired from the sitcom in April of 1991, due to “creative differences.” Bonet has never appeared at any of the multiple Cosby Show reunions and she has barely spoken about her former boss — until now. In an interview with Net-a-Porter, Bonet didn’t hold back when discussing the 80-year-old who has been accused of sexual misconduct by countless women.

TMZ reports, “The D.A. rejected a felony filing and sent the case to the City Attorney, who concluded the case was barred by the statute of limitations. The incident occurred in February 2016 and the statute for a misdemeanor is 1 year.” The site continued, “It appears the D.A. rejected a felony filing because the alleged conduct did not rise to the level of a felony. If the D.A. felt it was felony conduct she could have filed the case because a felony would have been within the statute of limitations.” However, the statue of limitations is just one reason why the felony filing was rejected. The other reason? They admit Venit groped Crews, however, “Venit did not make contact with Terry’s skin when he allegedly grabbed his genitals, and also because Venit didn’t restrain Terry.” No contact with the skin? If Venit would have ripped through Crews’ clothes in public then charges would have been filed? Absolutely insane. Crews also filed a civil lawsuit against WME and Adam Venit , but lawyers for WME […]

Houston’s restaurant may soon have every customer’s back. Rapper T.I. is pushing for diversity training at the restaurant chain after several racist incidents involving African-American customers in Atlanta, TMZ reported. Tip took a stand against Houston’s over alleged discrimination when he led a large protest against the chain in the Buckhead area of Atlanta last October. The protest was ignited by Love & Hip Hop Atlanta stars Debra Antney and Momma Dee, who said their party of seven was denied seating at Houston’s. T.I. started a boycott against Houston’s, but had recently ended it after starting negotiations with the chain to improve experiences for customers of color. Diversity training will be used as a tool to put a stop to racism at the restaurant. Houston’s executives sat down with T.I. to talk about the numerous issues. But how did the talks go? The officials have been accommodating, listening to the rapper’s suggestions. They are also reportedly open to policy changes. And get this: they want T.I. to work with them on a permanent basis. We doubt that the rapper may have much time to work with Houston’s as more than a consultant, but who really knows what may happen. T.I’s diversity push […]
