These days, rapper, A$AP Rocky, is known more for his controversial comments regarding black women than he is his actual music. After ruffling a few feathers with his thoughts on dark skin and red lipstick, he’s making his rounds in an attempt to clear up his earlier statements…

During a recent sit down with KYSDC he says:

Black girls just, ah man, went crazy. They just took it how they took it. This is actually my second time talking about it cause I really don’t really look at it as an issue. If people get upset at that I think it’s petty at the same time. It’s like they d*mn near wanna Rick Ross boycott me right now, over some lipstick controversy. Black girls, you know how sensitive they are, but they our sisters man. It is what is man. I come from a black home, so I know how sensitive black women can be. Especially when you talking about they looks or something like that. You can’t say nothing about they glasses, they nails, none of that because then you’re a womanizer or you’re a racist. I don’t know how I’m going to be racist. I have to wake up and look at my black a*s in the mirror everyday. It’s like, what are you talking about? But it is what it is, man. I’m proud to be black.

While most of us would assume that Kenya Moore would get the biggest ki after learning about Porsha Stewart’s divorce, you’d be surprised to know that she opted to take the high road and wish her well in spite of their own drama on Real Housewives of Atlanta.

It’s no secret that Porsha and I have had our differences. However, I would never want to see anyone go through pain or suffering such as in a divorce. I’m a hopeless romantic and believe in love and hope they can get past their differences. I do wish Porsha well and know she will do what is best for her. It seems they just need to maybe iron some things out in their relationship. Maybe they could still make it work.

Very noble of you, Kenya.

Although, he doesn’t give any new details about what went down that night, he does say that he will NOT be pressing criminal charges or filing a civil lawsuit against Chris…

AS A CHILD I THOUGHT IF SOMEONE JUMPED ME IT WOULD RESULT IN ME MURDERING OR MUTILATING A MAN. BUT AS A MAN I AM NOT A KILLER. I’M AN ARTIST AND A MODERN PERSON. I’LL CHOOSE SANITY. NO CRIMINAL CHARGES. NO CIVIL LAWSUIT. FORGIVENESS, ALBEIT DIFFICULT, IS WISDOM. PEACE, ALBEIT TRITE, IS WHAT I WANT IN MY SHORT LIFE. PEACE.

This comes as good news to Chris who is still currently on probation. Post your thoughts!

Rapper/Producer, Wyclef Jean, has released excerpts from his autobiography, Purpose: An Immigrant’s Story (available tomorrow). If any of you were Fugees fans and hoping they would reunite for another album or at least a tour, you can just hang that up after this…

According to Wyclef, when he was cheating on his wife, Claudinette, with group member, Lauryn Hill, she lied to him and led him to believe that he was the father of her first child, Zion. It wasn’t until he was born that he found out that Rohan Marley was his father.

For the next nine months, I assumed her child was mine. It was easy to do as we rode the wave of success. In my mind, it was complicated and dangerous, but it was beautiful, too: If Lauryn and I had a child together, it was, to me, a product of our music and everything we’d worked to achieve. It made sense to my heart, as much as I knew it was wrong in my mind. If that’s what it came down to, I knew I would be honest with Claudinette and hope I didn’t lose her, just the way I knew I would do right by our child and so would Lauryn. I was proud of it when we performed in Haiti, because Lauryn was visibly pregnant. So to me, we were playing a concert for my people with our child growing inside of her.

When Lauryn gave birth, I learned the truth: the child wasn’t mine. It was Rohan Marley’s. And in that moment something died between us. I was married and Lauryn and I were having an affair, but she had led me to believe that the baby was mine, and I couldn’t forgive that. [..] She could no longer be my muse. Our love spell was broken through her creation.

Clef goes on to say that her entire debut album, The Miseducation Of Lauren Hill, was based on their relationship.

Meanwhile, Lauryn was writing The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which she recorded for the most part in Jamaica. She was there with Rohan, with whom she went on to have four more kids, even though he was still married to someone else. I can’t speak for her, but I don’t think Lauryn knew about this until she was already pregnant. Rohan had gotten married years before, had two children with that girl and when things didn’t work out, never divorced. He and Lauryn kept having children and just continued on unmarried because legally he couldn’t marry her.

She might have been with him in Jamaica at the time, but musically and lyrically she was still with me. Her whole album was about her trying to make sense of our relationship, and when I listen to Miseducation, it’s like reading a diary of our personal history.

Hmm. So Lauryn was with two married men at the same time? Post your thoughts!

So your debut album just recently dropped, and you end up getting a shout out from the First Lady? Elle Varner just may be having the best week ever!

The folks over at E! News caught up with the FLOTUS on the opening day of the DNC for an exclusive, one-on-one chat. Mrs. Obama opened up about both politics and family…talking everything from gay marriage and the economy, to back to school shopping. When asked if her daughters, Malia and Sasha, help keep her ‘hip’ with what they’re watching and listening to, Michelle sang the praises of none other than Elle Varner.

Elle Varner…Malia is all on top of her. So she played her new album for me, and I picked out a couple of songs.

Once Elle got word of this, she took to Twitter to share her excitement.

It doesn’t really get much better than a Presidential co-sign does it?

Sidenote: Anyone else wondering which tracks from Imperfectly Perfect are Michelle’s faves?!

I will continue to be positive and train hard for another opportunity in the NFL. To all the fans and supporters I have disappointed, you have my sincerest apologies. I will stay positive and get through this tough period in my life.

Brandy is sick of some of the criticism that Chris Brown has to face and recently spoke to Access Hollywood about it.

While the world is still busy throwing stones at the singer, Brandy thinks that you should stop judging and mind your business.

Chris Brown, at the end of the day, is a person and he is going through… his own struggles. I don’t think it’s anybody’s place to judge him. I just think we need to be a little more supportive of celebrities that are out there going through things in life.

Can’t say that I don’t agree with her. Will the drama that surrounds Chris Brown ever cease?

On a sidenote, Bran….less quotes/interviews, more videos. Put It Down has been out far too long for us to not have a visual yet.

The gorgeous and never aging actress, Nia Long, (who recently appeared on the cover of Essence with her two sons) doesn’t think that marriage works and says that she’s just fine being a good woman to her man, sans ring.

Marriage is not a priority for me. I’m not saying I’ll never do it; it’s just not where we are as a family. I’ll be at home with my man, having a perfectly loving time, and I’ll see all these comments on some site about how wrong I am for not being married. I don’t feel less loved or loving because I’m not married.

What do you guys think of this stance? I have seen Nia get slammed on other blogs by commenters who said that she’s ‘wrong’ for having a guy’s baby without a ring. Should marriage be considered the ideal situation or goal for everybody? Many people didn’t grow up witnessing long term, healthy marriages, and we all know that Hollywood doesn’t give us that either.

Let me know what you think!

PS: Aren’t her kids super cute?!? Love this shot of them!
