Embracing Mindful Sexuality: A Journey to Intimacy

The Power of Mindful Sexuality

In a world filled with distractions and fast-paced living, it’s easy to overlook the importance of mindfulness in our intimate lives. Mindful sexuality goes beyond the physical act; it’s about connecting our body and mind in the bedroom. This journey towards mindful sexuality can enhance not only our physical pleasure but also deepen the emotional and spiritual connection with our partners. In this exploration, we’ll delve into the transformative power of mindful sexuality and how it can elevate your intimate experiences.

Understanding Mindful Sexuality

At its core, mindful sexuality involves being fully present and engaged in the sexual experience. It’s about shedding preconceived notions, fears, and insecurities, and immersing ourselves in the sensations and emotions of the moment. This awareness opens the door to a deeper connection with our partners and a more profound understanding of our own desires and boundaries.

Mindful sexuality encourages open communication, creating an atmosphere of trust and vulnerability. As we embrace the present moment, we become attuned to the subtle cues and desires of our partners, fostering a deeper connection that transcends the physical realm.

Breaking Free from Taboos

Society often imposes taboos and stigmas around sexuality, inhibiting our ability to explore and express our desires fully. Mindful sexuality invites us to break free from these societal constraints, encouraging a non-judgmental and accepting approach to our sexual selves.

By acknowledging and embracing our desires without shame or guilt, we pave the way for a more authentic and fulfilling sexual experience. This newfound freedom allows us to explore our fantasies and preferences, fostering a deeper connection with our own desires and those of our partners.

The Role of Communication in Mindful Sexuality

Communication is the cornerstone of any healthy relationship, and it plays a pivotal role in mindful sexuality. Honest and open communication about desires, boundaries, and preferences creates a safe space for exploration and vulnerability. It’s the key to unlocking a deeper understanding of each other’s needs and fostering a connection that goes beyond the physical.

In the journey of mindful sexuality, partners can use verbal and non-verbal cues to express their desires and consent. This shared language enhances intimacy, creating an environment where both partners feel seen, heard, and respected. 

Sensate Focus: The Art of Presence

Mindful sexuality often involves practices such as Sensate Focus, a technique that directs attention to the sensory experience of touch. This exercise encourages partners to explore each other’s bodies without the goal of arousal, focusing instead on the pleasure of touch and connection.

Engaging in Sensate Focus exercises can deepen intimacy by fostering a heightened awareness of physical sensations. It encourages partners to be fully present in the moment, enhancing the connection between the body and mind. This practice can be a transformative step towards mindful sexuality, promoting a deeper understanding of one another’s bodies and desires.

Exploring Erotic Mindfulness

Erotic mindfulness involves being fully present during sexual activities, free from distractions or anxieties. It’s about savoring each moment, appreciating the unique sensations and emotions that arise. This practice encourages a slower, more deliberate approach to intimacy, allowing partners to connect on a profound level.

By incorporating erotic mindfulness into our sexual experiences, we can break free from routine and explore new avenues of pleasure. It opens the door to a more adventurous and fulfilling sex life, where partners are attuned to each other’s desires and navigate the journey together.

Mindful Sexuality and Emotional Connection

Beyond physical pleasure, mindful sexuality nurtures a deep emotional connection between partners. It’s about sharing vulnerabilities, expressing love, and creating a space where both partners feel emotionally fulfilled. This emotional intimacy enhances the overall satisfaction of the relationship, transcending the boundaries of the bedroom.

When we approach sex with mindfulness, we cultivate a deeper connection that extends into our daily lives. The emotional bond forged in the bedroom can positively impact the overall health of the relationship, creating a foundation of trust and understanding.

Mindful Sexuality and Self-Exploration

Understanding our own bodies and desires is a crucial aspect of mindful sexuality. It’s an opportunity for self-exploration, free from judgment or societal expectations. By becoming attuned to our own needs and preferences, we can communicate more effectively with our partners, creating a more harmonious and fulfilling sexual experience.

Engaging in self-exploration allows us to discover what brings us pleasure and satisfaction. It’s a journey of self-love and acceptance, laying the groundwork for a more confident and empowered approach to intimacy.

Introducing Mindful Elements: Restraints and Connection

In the realm of mindful sexuality, incorporating elements like restraints can add a layer of excitement and novelty to intimate experiences. While some may associate restraints with more adventurous pursuits, they can also be integrated into mindful practices, emphasizing the importance of trust, communication, and consent.

Exploring the curated collection of restraints at https://kinkstore.com/collections/restraints offers a range of options for couples looking to add a mindful twist to their intimate moments. From soft silk ties to more intricate bondage accessories, these tools can be used to enhance the connection between partners, fostering a deeper sense of trust and intimacy.

Nurturing Mindful Practices Beyond the Bedroom

Mindful sexuality isn’t confined to the bedroom; it’s a way of approaching life and relationships. Integrating mindfulness into daily practices, such as meditation, deep breathing, or even shared activities, can strengthen the bond between partners. By cultivating a mindful mindset, couples can navigate challenges together and celebrate the joys of life as a united force.

Embracing the Journey Towards Mindful Sexuality

In conclusion, mindful sexuality is a transformative journey that goes beyond the physical aspects of intimacy. It’s about being present, communicating openly, and fostering a connection that nourishes the body and soul. As you embark on this journey with your partner, remember that it’s a continuous process of exploration and growth. By embracing the principles of mindful sexuality, you can cultivate a more profound connection that enriches every aspect of your relationship.

Whether you’re new to the concept or have been on this path for a while, the key lies in openness, vulnerability, and a willingness to explore the depths of intimacy. So, take a step into the world of mindful sexuality, where connection, pleasure, and love intertwine in a dance that celebrates the beauty of the human experience.

Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign’s “Vultures” Rave Plans Go Up In Flames

A Florida mall denied Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s arrangements for a “Vultures Rave,” which was supposedly scheduled for Tuesday (December 12). A spokesperson for Sawgrass Mills shut down talks of the event happening at the mall after Ty Dolla $ign promoted it on social media.

“No, there’s no event, no performance,” the spokesperson told the Miami New Times. “It’s false.”

Sawgrass Mills is located in Sunrise, which is near Miami. The mall’s management dismissed the alleged “Vultures Rave” booking as nothing more than a rumor.

“Rumors have been circulating that a Kanye West listening party will take place at Sawgrass Mills tomorrow,” management said. “This is simply not true.”

Talks of a rave emerged after Kanye popped up at local spots in the Miami area over the weekend. He previewed songs from Vultures, his joint album with Ty Dolla $ign, at Miami’s Dukunoo Jamaican Kitchen. Snippets of the tracks surfaced on social media.

Ty Dolla $ign announced the “Vultures Rave” in an Instagram post on Sunday (December 10). He said the event would be held at the Sawgrass Mills at midnight on December 12. Kanye invited Playboi Carti to the rave, according to Carti’s Instagram Stories.

Kanye’s upcoming collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign will be the controversial rapper/producer’s first release since his unfinished album Donda 2. Ye dropped a version of Donda 2 exclusively on the Stem Player but never released the completed project. The Stem Player’s parent company Kano Computing eventually cut ties with Kanye due to his antisemitism.

Ye claimed his Vultures album with Ty Dolla $ign will drop on Friday (December 15), but many of Ye’s release dates have come and gone with no music in the past. Ty Dolla $ign did share the tracklist for the project on Instagram.

Check out the Vultures tracklist below.

NLE Choppa Warns Blueface About Bullying Women Amid Baby Mama Drama

NLE Choppa clashed with his “Shotta Flow (Remix)” collaborator Blueface on Monday (December 11). The two exchanged social media jabs after Blueface allegedly tried to hit on NLE Choppa’s baby mama.

Marissa Da’Nae, the mother of NLE Choppa’s son Chozen, accused Blueface of trying to pick her up despite her loyalty to Chrisean Rock. Da’Nae described the alleged incident in an Instagram Live conversation with Chrisean. Blueface claimed NLE Choppa was worried about what happened.

“Nle been calling my fone all day about his baby momma but I’m tender,” Blueface wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “He hopped on that no rizz train till he seen I had that number now I’m his shotta flow remix friend don’t call me about no b#### boy.”

The comments provoked a response from NLE Choppa.

“Keep bullying women, that ain’t gone work here n stop snitching that ain’t very SY of you,” he wrote. “P.S.shotta flow 7 out now too.”

The public spat represented another wrinkle in the ongoing drama between Blueface and Chrisean. Blueface was put on blast by Chrisean and Da’Nae over the weekend.

“He pulled me to the side,” Da’Nae told Chrisean on Instagram Live. “He asked me what my name was. I just told him like, ‘I’m not interested, I know your baby mom,’ He was like, ‘How well do you know her? Can you call her?’ I was like, ‘Yeah.’ He’s like, ‘Call her’ … And I was like, ‘And you know my baby daddy.’ So, he was like, ‘Who yo baby daddy?’ And I told him.”

She added, “He was like, ‘So you gonna choose my baby mama over me?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah.’ And then I went to walk off and he pulled me. He was like, ‘Don’t walk away from me like that.’”

Young Thug Trial Delayed Over Jail Stabbing

A jailhouse stabbing forced a delay in the YSL RICO trial on Monday (December 11). Judge Ural Glanville sent jurors home for the day due to the stabbing of Young Thug’s co-defendant Shannon Stillwell in the Fulton County Jail.

“Don’t get too comfortable, all right,” Glanville told the jury. “Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve had a medical issue come up for one of our participants, so I’m going to have to recess for today. These things happen. So, we’ll come back tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.”

He added, “We’ll just see how things go at that point in time. And we’ll take the week as it comes.”

According to WSB-TV’s Michael Seiden, Stillwell was stabbed in the stomach overnight. The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office and Stillwell’s attorney Max Schardt confirmed the stabbing.

“Shannon was stabbed in jail,” Schardt told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Other than he survived, I don’t know much else.”

Stillwell was also the victim of a jailhouse stabbing in July 2022. He is one of six defendants in the YSL RICO trial, which began in November.

Young Thug’s co-defendant faces eight criminal charges. Stillwell was charged with conspiracy to violate Georgia’s RICO Act, two counts of murder, two counts of participation in criminal street gang activity, two counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon previously convicted of felony involving the use or possession of a firearm and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Stillwell pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Stillwell’s stabbing added a new complication to the YSL RICO trial, which went through a lengthy jury selection process starting in January 2023. The trial is expected to last at least six months.

Young Thug has remained in jail since his May 2022 arrest. He was denied bond several times ahead of the trial.

EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump & Henry Kissinger Namechecked In Rolling Stone Lawsuit Against FBI

Rolling Stone is suing the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a component of the Department of Justice. In court documents obtained by AllHipHop, the esteemed publication filed the suit on Sunday (December 10), alleging the FBI has failed to provide records on former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who died in November, in a timely manner. According to the suit, Rolling Stone requested all files that mentioned “Kissinger” on November 29 and still hasn’t obtained the information.

As explained in the docs, “Rolling Stone explained the need for this additional search, stating, ‘Given Kissinger’s prominence and the fact that he continued to interact with the highest levels of the U.S. government until his death (see, e.g., the document bates-stamped ‘FBI (19cv1278)-6667’ which was an email chain between senior Trump campaign officials obtained during the Mueller Investigation), it is highly probable that records mentioning his name would be located in these systems yet not included in the CRS because they would be unlikely to be ‘of investigatory interest.’

Rolling Stone requested expedited processing of this request and a public interest fee waiver, citing, inter alia, “an urgent need to inform the public about actual or alleged federal government activity, namely, the activities of FBI and other agencies in which Kissinger, an extremely polarizing figure in man circles, played a direct or indirect role, or even those activities, like the Mueller Investigation, where FBI was looking into his activities.”

The docs added, “This is a matter of widespread and exceptional media interest in which there exist possible questions about the government’s integrity which affect public confidence […] As of this writing, FBI has not made a determination within ten days regarding Rolling Stone’s request for expedited processing.”

Consequently, Rolling Stone is asking the court to “order the Federal Bureau of Investigation to expeditiously process its request; order preliminary and permanent injunctive and/or declaratory relief as may be appropriate; award reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees as provided in 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(E), 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d), or any other applicable law; expedite this action in every way pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1657(a); and grant such other relief as the Court may deem just and proper.”

The Mueller investigation was an investigation into Trump regarding Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections and was conducted by special prosecutor Robert Mueller from May 2017 to March 2019.

Kanye West Teases Music With Playboi Carti, Quavo, Future & More In Miami Takeover

As if the mysterious “Vultures” merch wasn’t enough of a sign, Kanye West has taken the hype of his new album a step further by previewing records from his LP in Miami.

Over the weekend, West was spotted at several local hot spots, including a trendy brunch spot in Wynnwood where he and his wife Bianca Censori entertained the entire restaurant with a live rendition of “Father Stretch My Hands” and Liv Lounge, where he and Ty Dolla $ign treated club-goers to a surprise concert.

However, one of Ye’s most potent pop-ups over the weekend appears to be the impromptu playback session he hosted at a bar. Several videos from the event appear to show Kanye spoon-feeding the DJ track after track of his new and unreleased records, such as the Backstreet Boys-sampling “Everybody” and “Paid” featuring Future. Rich The Kid has apparently heard the entire album because he commented on a viral Twitter (X) video featuring the “Everybody” snippet and praised the track—and the album.

“One of my favorites on the album,” Rich The Kid wrote on X in a tweet stamped with fireball and face-palm emojis.

And to top it all off, Carti and multiple other Kanye West insiders shared messages they’d received directly from Ye that appear to reveal his plans for the rollout of the album. According to one of the screenshots circulating, West planning to drop the album on December 15 and host a listening event days earlier at 12 a.m. ET on Tuesday (December 12).

Rugireo Drops Video For Banging New Single “two step” featuring ZEEK

Rugireo is a multifaceted artist in Hip-Hop, seamlessly blending his talents as an actor, director, and producer. Born in New Jersey, Rugireo’s journey into music began at the tender age of thirteen, spurred by his early interests in creating video content and skits.

Facing challenges in his personal life, with his parents undergoing a tumultuous relationship, he sought solace in music and art. This refuge immersed him in activities like editing fan-made music videos, writing scripts, and illustrating.

The transformative period in Rugireo’s life came at 18, marked by his encounter with Yung Rocko at Blackcat Studios. This meeting was pivotal in guiding his musical direction, particularly in recording techniques and performance nuances. Now 25, Rugireo resides in New York City, having moved there from Delaware in October 2023.

His artistic influences are a testament to his diverse taste, drawing inspiration from Anderson Paak, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, The Creator, J Cole, and Denzel Curry. Rugireo’s talents have seen him perform in various notable venues across the East Coast, including the Dover Music Festival, The Red Room in Philadelphia, and Washington Square Park in NYC.

His appearance at Washington Square Park with Hunna G Beats garnered over 200,000 views on Instagram alone. Additionally, his presence has been felt in the digital realm with multiple podcast appearances under his former name, Matt Vanzetti.

Rugireo’s work has garnered critical acclaim, with “Bottle Talk Podcast” praising his album “(Italian Made)” as “one of the best records of the year (2020).” Nakid Magazine and Medium Magazine have also highlighted his single “Ocean,” with Medium describing it as a blend of ’70s vibes with ’90s-esque lyrics.

His newest release, “two step” featuring Zeek, is a Dance/Pop-Rap track that reflects on a personal romantic experience during the pandemic. The track is noted for its upbeat, funk-pop sound, contrasting with the emotional depth of the lyrics.

Take a look at Rugireo’s video for “two step” below.

Rich The Kid Arrested During Miami Beach Hotel Bomb Threat Incident

Rich The Kid was arrested in Miami Beach on Sunday (December 10). According to Miami-Dade County inmate records, the rapper was taken into custody for defying law enforcement’s orders during a bomb threat at a South Beach hotel. TMZ reports local police officers had established a perimeter with police tape to prevent anyone from entering the SLS Hotel. But Rich The Kid insisted he needed to get into his hotel room and continued badgering the police.

Although Rich The Kid was warned he’d be arrested if he kept attempting to get inside, he persisted. He was heard saying, “I’ll bond out in 20 minutes.” He then walked to another corner of the property, where he was confronted by hotel security and told he couldn’t enter. He responded, “Stop me” and then proceeded to climb over the fence onto the property.

Once inside the hotel, he encountered a K-9 unit and the officer told him to leave, but Rich The Kid refused. He was then taken into custody and hauled off to jail. Rich The Kid now faces two misdemeanors: resisting an officer without violence and trespass. Each charged required. $1,000 bond and it looks like he already posted.

Rich The Kid has been arrested before. In March 2021, he was taken into custody at Los Angeles International Airport for carrying a loaded firearm in public. TSA agents discovered the weapon in his carry-on luggage as he attempted to board a flight. Footage of him being obtained by LAX authorities at LAX promptly made the rounds, although the ordeal didn’t last long. He was released less than six hours later.

The 31-year-old has also been entangled in multiple lawsuits. In December 2021, he was sued by the landlord of Manhattan’s East Village 14 Owner LLC for not paying his rent. The suit came less than a year after a Beverly Hills landlord sued Rich The Kid and won. A Los Angeles judge later ordered him to pay $323,214 in back rent.

Boosie Badazz Thanks Grammys For First Award Show Performance Since Prison Release

It has been nearly 10 years since Boosie Badazz officially became a free man again. The Baton Rouge-bred rapper left Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola on March 5, 2014.

Boosie Badazz had yet to perform for a televised industry ceremony over the last decade. He finally returned to the small screen for “A GRAMMY Salute To 50 Years Of Hip-Hop” TV special.

CBS Television Network’s two-hour “A GRAMMY Salute To 50 Years Of Hip-Hop” aired on Sunday (December 10). Boosie was part of the celebratory show’s star-studded list of performers.

“THANKS TO THE GRAMMYS FOR FINALLY GIVING ME A CHANCE TO PERFORM AT AWARDS SHOW SINCE I BEEN HOME FROM PRISON!! #imgrateful,” Boosie Badazz tweeted in response to his performance.

“A GRAMMY Salute To 50 Years Of Hip-Hop” took place in Inglewood’s YouTube Theater on November 8. In addition to Boosie Badazz, the December 10th broadcast included appearances by representatives of several Hip-Hop generations.

The lineup featured Black Thought, Big Daddy Kane, Bun B, Chance The Rapper, Coi Leray, Common, De La Soul, GloRilla, Gunna, Latto, LL Cool J, MC Lyte, Nelly, Public Enemy, Queen Latifah, Rakim, Rick Ross, Roddy Ricch, T.I, and many more. DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, the first Hip-Hop act to win a Grammy Award, also hit the stage.

Boosie Badazz has yet to receive a golden gramophone trophy from the Recording Academy. However, the “Wipe Me Down” hitmaker still praised the organization for honoring Hip-Hop culture’s 50th anniversary.

“The Grammys gave me a chance that a lot of people don’t give me, so I’m thankful for the Grammys,” Boosie said in a video posted on the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel. “Mixing the Grammys with Hip-Hop, that’s like Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.”

Cardi B Confirms She’s Single Amid Rumors Offset Cheated With Chrisean Rock

The internet was in a frenzy over the weekend after Blueface accused his on-again, off-again girlfriend Chrisean Rock of having sex with Cardi B’s husband, Offset. Cardi has now addressed the speculation.

“Being tatted on a hoe is not a flex. You literally f##### Cardi B’s husband [a] couple [of] weeks ago. I’m tired of n##### looking at me while they f###### you, get the rest of em gone ASAP please,” Blueface tweeted about Chrisean on Sunday (December 10).

He also added, “‘Tried to keep [your] secret but you keep popping it on these apps, ima only state facts every time… So you ain’t f##### Cardi’s husband [on] November 10th at 4 am at their house in LA… I’m making this up?”

Offset responded to the “Thotiana” rapper by tweeting, “I ain’t never talk or touch that lady. Real talk man, you need some help!” Blueface has since deleted those specific X posts about the Migos member and Chrisean Rock.

Cardi B Says She Didn’t Know How To Tell The World About Her Breakup With Offset

Cardi B went on social media to discuss the ongoing drama involving her family. The Invasion of Privacy album creator confirmed she separated from Offset before Blueface’s allegations came to light.

“I don’t know if you guys been getting clues for me from my Lives or from my Stories when I put some certain music or find my own followings,” Cardi B told her fans. “When it comes to today’s events, I don’t know if it’s true. I don’t think it’s true. I don’t care to find out because I’ve been single for a minute now.”

She then stated, “I just don’t know how to tell the world but I feel like today has been like a sign. The last time I got on Live, I kind of wanted to tell you. I kind of wanted to tell you guys but I didn’t know how to tell you. So I changed my mind but it has been like this for a minute now. I just took it as a sign. I wanted to start 2024 like fresh, open. I don’t know. I’m curious for a new life, for a new beginning.”

Cardi B and Offset got married in a secret wedding in September 2017. The estranged couple has two children together – 5-year-old Kulture Kiari Cephus and 2-year-old Wave Set Cephus. This weekend also saw Cardi headlined the sold-out TikTok In The Mix global music event. Offset was also part of that show’s lineup.

Doja Cat To Her White Fans Singing N-Word: “Watch Your Mouth”

Doja Cat had a message for non-Black concertgoers at a recent show. The daughter of a Jewish mother and South African father warned some of her fans not to repeat the n-words in her music.

A TikTok user named Kaydee Meseck posted a clip of Doja Cat performing “Ain’t S###” off the 2021 Planet Her album. The video from the Omaha, Nebraska performance has gone viral over the last several days.

“Watch your mouth if you’re white,” Doja tells her audience. She then began singing the “Ain’t S###” chorus: “N##### ain’t s###, come up in your crib. All up in your fridge, can’t pay rent.”

Previously, Doja Cat faced backlash online over her alleged association with white supremacists. #DojaCatIsOverParty and #OnlyKlans became trending topics in 2020 after critics accused the rapper/singer of appearing in racist chat forums.

“I learned that there are racist people who come in and out of the chat. They happen, then they’re banned. The idea that this chat room is a white supremacist chat room  – I don’t understand it in any way,” Doja stated at the time.

In addition, the Los Angeles native apologized for her “Dindu Nuffin” song. The track’s title refers to a racist term used to mock African Americans killed by police officers. Earlier this year, Doja also caught heat for wearing a shirt featuring the face of a documented supporter of neo-Nazis and white nationalists.

T.I. Gets Pulled Over By Georgia State Trooper After Arguing With Tiny [VIDEO]

Clifford “T.I.” Harris has had numerous run-ins with the law throughout his life. New footage of a Georgia state trooper pulling T.I. over has made its way to the internet.

According to Live PD Hardcore, the law enforcement officer made a traffic stop after viewing the vehicle speeding on an Atlanta-area highway. The driver of the Range Rover turned out to be Harris.

“You just flew past my door at a very high rate of speed. You drove on the shoulder back there and almost struck that car,” the trooper tells T.I. after asking him to exit his SUV.

At one point, T.I. admitted to arguing with the woman in the car. His wife, R&B singer/songwriter Tiny Harris, was the assumed passenger. However, the woman never showed up on camera.

“She was getting on my nerves. I apologize. She was getting under my skin,” T.I. stated. He later added, “I just wanted to get home as fast as I could so we can get out of the car, and I can go to my space and she can go to her space.”

T.I. had trouble providing the vehicle’s registration because he purchased the Range Rover that same day. After getting the information from the owner of the car dealership, the trooper let Harris off with three citations.

The date of the state trooper’s dashcam video hasn’t been confirmed. The Live PD Hardcore YouTube channel published the footage on December 1. T.I. has yet to publicly address the situation, as of press time.

Stormzy Says Growing Up Without A Dad Made Him “Man Up”

Stormzy has admitted he felt the pressure of being the only man in the house growing up.

During an interview with British Vogue, Stormzy opened up about growing up in London with his single mother and two sisters.

“I am the man in my family,” the 30-year-old told the publication. “I’ve got my mum and my sisters, I am provider and protector. It’s just a lot of things that I wish I had.”

Stormzy also addressed the absence of his father, whom he recently got in touch with.

“I have always felt like his absence in my life has had zero effect, that it was a very indifferent thing,” Stormzy remembered. “But the bit that’s irking is where I feel like I need to man up. And not in the toxic way that people tell young boys to ‘man up’, because I feel like, let the youths cry.”

“Let the youths feel, innit,” he continued. “For me, it’s where I need what I think a dad would do. What a good dad would do for his son.”

The rapper, who dropped out of school and pursued an apprenticeship at an oil refinery, explained that he dislikes social media because it isn’t an accurate depiction of his life.

“That’s why I mad hate social media,” Stormzy, real name Michael Owuo Jr., said. “Because it’s made everyone think that I just got there. A young artist will look at me and think, ‘Oh, he’s just got it figured out.'”

Pharrell Williams Reveals Biggest Lesson Working At Louis Vuitton

Pharrell Williams has revealed what he has learned while working with Louis Vuitton.

The musician was appointed the men’s creative director of the Parisian luxury brand earlier this year to replace the late Virgil Abloh, who passed away in November 2021.

In an interview with GQ, Pharrell reflected on what he has learned during his time with the label so far.

“One of the greatest things that I’ve learned is about really concentrating on how to do something great, and how important it is to have the resources to bring it to life,” Pharrell told the outlet. “Being surrounded by the greatest of the greats, team wise, it just makes all the difference in the world. I mean, you can have good ideas all the time. There’s so many people with great ideas, but when you don’t have the right team around you and the unlimited resources and support, it’s just extremely difficult. I’ve learned that.”

Pharrell added, “I don’t know how I got anything done before this. Now I’m used to working with an orchestra of brilliant talent.”

Pharrell’s sophomore show for the brand took place in Hong Kong on Thursday last week. The event followed his debut fashion show in Paris in June.

In the interview, the 50-year-old discussed the success of his debut presentation.

“I didn’t have any expectations,” he admitted. “I just was so caught up in the process, as I am now. I’m just very… I’m not overwhelmed in a negative way, but I am consumed by the creative process and executing and getting things right. That’s so important to me.”

SZA Prefers To Write “Embarrassing” Songs

SZA prefers to write “interesting” songs rather than joyful ones. The Grammy Award-winning artist becomes bored of writing music that isn’t “embarrassing” to share.

“I guess it’s because I get bored as f### writing about anything that isn’t, like, super embarrassing,” SZA told Variety. “And I feel like those things that I don’t want to say or acknowledge about myself are (songwriting) material – if it interests me to the point where it’s worth the risk.”

The “Snooze” hitmaker tends to make music about her life’s “hidden aspects” rather than the obvious ones.

“There’s mad aspects to my life,” SZA explained. “But people don’t really know that because all I sing about are the hidden aspects that I think are more interesting. Honestly, I could write about jet-skiing with my friends, but I don’t want to make a song about that, and I don’t want to hear a song about it either.”

Elsewhere in the interview, SZA revealed that she never has a topic in mind when she sits down to write a song.

“I just let the beat tell me what to do, and then I start babbling and making words, and it starts to form itself,” SZA told the publication, revealing her phone is filled with memos and voice notes. “It’s like a puzzle. Sometimes I write down phrases, but I never go back to those – even though they’re always good-a*s phrases!”

She added, “They go back years and years and years. It’s all music and random bounces and writing.”

Takeoff Pursued For Sexual Assault Lawsuit Despite Death & His Mom Could Be Liable

The woman who filed a lawsuit alleging that the late rapper Takeoff sexually assaulted her in 2020, two years before his death, is seeking to substitute the rapper’s mother, Titiana Davenport, as the defendant in the suit. 

The original complaint was filed in August 2020 in Los Angeles Superior Court. The woman accused Takeoff of sexual assault during a party in an Encino home on June 23, 2020.

The plaintiff’s lawsuit details how Takeoff allegedly made several advances on the night of the incident, which she rejected. Despite making it clear that she was not interested, the lawsuit alleges that the rapper followed her into a bedroom and forced himself on her.

He vehemently denied the allegations, and the L.A. County District Attorney’s office declined to press charges due to insufficient evidence.

The Migos rapper was tragically shot to death on November 1, 2022, at a Houston bowling alley before the lawsuit could be resolved.

Last week, attorneys representing the woman filed court papers demanding that Takeoff’s mom, acting as the administrator of her son’s estate, replace her late son in the lawsuit. 

In June, Davenport had already filed a $1 million wrongful death lawsuit against the owners of 810 Billiards & Bowling Houston, the venue where her son was killed.

This lawsuit claims negligence on the part of the venue and its associated business entities for failing to provide a safe and secure environment, leading to her son’s death at the party. 

The lawsuit does not name any individuals directly associated with Takeoff’s shooting, including Patrick Clark, the man criminally charged with his murder. 

Clark is accused of firing multiple gunshots into a crowd, fatally striking Takeoff.

Davenport, as Takeoff’s surviving parent and administrator of his estate, is seeking compensation for a range of damages, including mental anguish, pain and suffering, medical and funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and loss of earning capacity.

Kim Kardashian’s Acting Career Exploding With Another New Role

Kim Kardashian has landed the lead role in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming legal series.

The reality star has landed her first leading role in the untitled legal drama, described as a “high-end, glossy and sexy adult procedural,” according to Deadline.

The series will mark Kim Kardashian and Ryan’s second time working together, following the Skims founder’s breakthrough performance in “American Horror Story: Delicate,” created by Ryan and Brad Falchuk.

Kim, 43, is set to portray “Los Angeles’ most successful divorce lawyer and the owner of an all-female law firm.” Ryan and the writers reportedly pitched the series to Kim and Kris Jenner, who committed to the project “right away.”

The mother-daughter duo will also act as executive producers for the series. The show, written by Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken, has been taken on by Hulu, which is home to the family’s reality show, “The Kardashians.”

The TV star should feel right at home in her upcoming role, as she is an aspiring lawyer. In 2021, she passed the baby bar and she is currently preparing for the bar exam.

The news comes soon after it was reported that the business mogul will star in “The 5th Wheel,” a comedy film written by former Saturday Night Live scribe Paula Pell and her comedian wife Janine Brito.

Mariah Carey Says Being A “Diva” Is No Big Deal

Mariah Carey doesn’t understand why people think being labeled a diva is a “big deal.”

In a new digital cover story for People, Mariah Carey revealed she has learned to embrace the term as a reflection of her global success rather than view it in a negative light.

“So many people that I know that are called ‘divas’ all the time, don’t take offense to it,” Mariah explained. “Who cares? Why is it a big deal? Just take it and be on your merry way.”

The 54-year-old star was also quizzed on how she has maintained a cool and calm exterior throughout her years of stardom.

Some fans are so impressed with her unflappable appearance that they have labeled her the “Queen of Being Unbothered.”

“I don’t know if I’m the Queen of Being Unbothered,” Mariah replied. “I guess maybe if they want to call me that, that’s a good thing to be. I don’t know that I’m always un-bothered. But I try to be bothered when I’m by myself. Not in front of the world.”

During the interview, the music superstar also joked that she ignores the traditional method of tracking dates and years.

“Years? What are years?” Mariah quipped. “I’m unfamiliar with them.”

She then added that she prefers to live “Christmastime to Christmastime.”

The “All I Want for Christmas Is You” star is on her “Merry Christmas One and All” U.S. and Canada tour, ending in Madison Square Garden on December 17.

Once the shows are done, she’s determined to celebrate in style with her 12-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan, as she admitted last year’s Yuletide “wasn’t the greatest.”

EXCLUSIVE: Cam’ron To Pay Huge Sum For Using His Own Image As Legal War With Joe Budden Heats Up

Cam’ron may be ready for a legal showdown with Joe Budden, but he may want to take care of his own backyard first – pause.

In case you missed it, “The Joe Budden Podcast” co-host Melyssa Ford raised a question about the possibility of underage girls being present at a brothel Cam’ron and Ma$e visited in the 1990s, after The Diplomats leader shared a wild story on his hit sports talk show, “It Is What It Is.”

The insinuation led to a backlash and Cam’ron obviously took offense and threatened to sue for defamation. 

But, the beef with Joe Budden may have to take a back seat due to more pressing issues – pause – because a photographer is asking a judge to award her a five-figure default judgment for using a picture of himself on his clothing brand.

Back in April, Cam’ron was sued by a photographer named Djamilla Cochran. The legal action stemmed from Cam’ron’s use of a 2003 photo featuring him in a pink coat with a matching flip phone, which became a signature image on clothing he was selling.

The lawsuit alleged that Cam’ron used the photo on merchandise, including t-shirts and hoodies, sold in his Dipset Couture store without obtaining proper licensing.

Cam ignored multiple warnings about copyright infringement, despite notifications from Getty Images and he never bothered to reply to the lawsuit. Now, the photographer is asking for a default judgment of $57,000 plus almost $10,000 bucks in legal fees.

She also wants an accounting of all of the merch Cam has sold using the picture in question so she can take the profits.

Cam’ron probably isn’t going to sweat the default judgment. He recently inked a $10 million deal with Underdog Fantasy, which signed on as the sponsor of the runaway hit show “It Is What It Is” with co-hosts Ma$e and Treasure “Stat Baby” Wilson.

Additionally, Cam’ron’s male enhancement drug, PinkHorsePower, has been flying off the shelves.

But his feud with Joe Budden and Melyssa Ford only seems to be escalating, despite her apology to Cam.

Joe Budden, in response, stood by Ford and challenged Cam’ron to proceed with the lawsuit if he believed he had a case. 

On the latest episode of “The Joe Budden Podcast,” Budden emphasized his refusal to engage in back-and-forth disputes and expressed his belief that Cam’ron’s potential lawsuit would be frivolous and unlikely to succeed.

However, the pair traded shots over the weekend – pause.
