Did Naya Rivera Try To “Shade” Big Sean?

I know that Big Sean has dissed Naya Rivera in song (Actually “IDFWU” wasn’t even about her), but did she try to somehow take away his shine as his new album came to be the Tuesday? The Glee actress was set to marry Sean last year, but she and the rapper weren’t meant to be. Still, she managed to get married on the day she and Sean were to get married anyway. She just found a dude named Ryan Dorsey and married him on the very day she was to get down with Sean. Now, it seems, they seemingly tried to take attention from Big Sean’s Dark Sky Paradise, by announcing they are expecting their first child together! They deny it, but some insiders think they did. Anyway, I have to admit, Dorsey and Naya seem uber happy together. Even still, Sean and them seemed happy too. Well, they all need to be happy for Big Sean, because his new album will debut at No. 1.

HBO's 'Bessie' Starring Queen Latifah Premieres In May

HBO is premiering the Bessie Smith biopic, Bessie, starring Queen Latifah  on Saturday May 16th at 8 p.m (EST/PST), according to Billboard. The film will focus on how Smith rose from turbulence to become the Empress of Blues during the 1920s. Latifah re-recorded some of Smith’s songs for the film and they are expected to be released on the soundtrack.

At the Televisions Critics Association Winter Press Tour last month, the former talk show host revealed that she was offered to play the late Smith 22 years ago but passed on it because she didn’t have enough life experience to prepare her for such a role.

“When the project came my way, I don’t think I had the life journey that went along with it,” said the New Jersey native. “I got to live more of the blues,” she said.

She says she took the role because of her admiration for the blues.

“The blues, the blues, I’ve gained such a great amount of respect for the blues … The blues are just as stunning to me now as when this first came to me. If anything, I feel like I have a little more of the story of what Bessie had to say.”

The film also stars Mo’Nique, Khandi Alexander, Michael Kenneth Williams, Mike Epps and Charles S. Dutton.

EXCLUSIVE: Dame Dash's Ex Seeking Back Child Support, Lawyer Responds To Dash Calling His Children's Mother "Weak"

(AllHipHop News) On February 22, Dame Dash uploaded a message on his Instagram page accusing Brooklyn based attorney Donnell Suares of taking “advantage of weak women.” Dash also called Suares a “culture vulture,” “bottom feeder,” and “ambulance chaser.”

Suares reached out to AllHipHop.com to issue a response to Dash’s IG post. According to the lawyer, he represents the mother of Dash’s children in a pending child support case.

Mr. Suares statement reads:

My name is Donnell Suares, and I am an attorney who specializes in representing individuals who are seeking child support from financially delinquent parents. Mr. Dash made comments about me and my practice on Sunday on Instagram. It is important to note that I am not the attorney of record for Mr. Dash. I represent the mother of Damon Dash’s children. She retained me to represent her in seeking back child support from Mr. Dash. Mr. Dash described the mother of his children as “weak.” My client is a strong and intelligent woman seeking to recover what she is rightfully and legally owed according to the law.

I simply represent people who are seeking support for their children and are having difficulty collecting child support from financially delinquent parents.

It is my privilege to assist this brave woman in her fight to support her children. Despite these attacks, I will continue to help those in need of representation when they need it most. Further, I will not allow anyone to destroy my reputation with unprovoked, unfounded and unsubstantiated allegations of subterfuge, deception, and unprofessionalism.

-Donnell Suares, Esq.

Dash has two children with ex-wife Rachel Roy and one child with ex-girlfriend Linda Williams. Child support hearings are confidential, so Suares’ client could not be confirmed.

There have been public reports that Williams sought payments for Damon Dash Jr. in the past. She told Radar Online in 2011, “I just want Damon Dash to do the right thing by his son and pay his support and help me get him in college.”

Dash is pictured with his children in other recent Instagram posts. The co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records writes in the caption for one of the photos, “Woke up thinking about how lucky I am.”
