Angela “Blac Chyna” White Discusses Her New Look After Removing Face Filters

Reality show star Angela White (formerly known as Blac Chyna) announced to the world her plans of reversing some of the cosmetic procedures on her body.

As part of her transition from Blac Chyna back to Angela White, the socialite/entrepreneur got silicon from illegal injections removed from her buttocks. She also had face fillers in her jaw, lips, and cheeks dissolved.

Angela White documented her plastic surgery reversals on her Instagram page which presently boasts 16.9 million followers. Additionally, the former exotic dancer made an appearance on The Tamron Hall Show to discuss her physical transformation.

“This is me now. So you can see the difference, right here in the cheek area. Yeah, see when I smile, now you can see all of my teeth. I had so much filler in my lips to where as though I couldn’t even barely smile, but you see now when I smile,” White told Tamron Hall.

As Blac Chyna, the DC native starred in reality television programs such as E!’s Rob & Chyna with former boyfriend Rob Kardashian and Zeus Network’s The Real Blac Chyna. Angela White is the mother of a 6-year-old daughter with Rob Kardashian as well as a 10-year-old son with rapper Tyga.

“I haven’t really told them anything. I just lead by example,” said White when asked what she shares about her new lifestyle with her children. “Like if I’m working out, they work out with me. I ask them to come to church with me. They’re like, ‘How far is it?’ And I’m like, ‘Oh God.’ Because it’s actually really far. I drive an hour and five minutes to my church and an hour and thirty minutes back every Sunday.”

In addition to making physical changes, Angela White also made spiritual changes in her life. She recently shared images of herself getting baptized with her social media following. The religious ritual took place on May 11, White’s 34th birthday.

Chlöe Bailey Recalls Warning DDG Not To Hurt Her Sister Halle Bailey

Halle Bailey and DDG’s relationship became headline news over the last several months after public drama involving the YouTuber/rapper’s ex-girlfriend, Rubi Rose. Apparently, Chlöe Bailey warned DDG about him possibly causing her younger sister any hardships.

Latto invited Chlöe Bailey to be the first guest on the “Big Energy” hitmaker’s new Apple Music-backed 777 Radio show debuting this week. The interview, which took place in September 2022, included Chlöe reflecting on a conversation she had with DDG about her sibling.

“I am so protective of my sister. But seeing how happy she is, I’m happy,” stated Chlöe Bailey on 777 Radio. “I told [DDG] I had my eye on him. I said, ‘You f### with her, I’m killing you.’ I told him that. He knows. But yeah, she’s happy. She’s happy. So as long as she’s happy, I’m happy.”

Some social media users blasted DDG for publicly going back and forth with Rubi Rose after she seemingly took subliminal shots at Halle Bailey on Twitter. DDG even released the “Way Too Petty” diss track directed at Rose.

Meanwhile, Chlöe Bailey has her own music arriving on DSPs. The Swarm actress released her debut studio album, In Pieces, today (March 31). The 14-track LP features contributions by Chris Brown, Missy Elliott, and Future.

As far as her own relationship status, Chlöe Bailey downplayed internet rumors claiming she was dating Migos member Quavo. The Parkwood/Columbia recording artist insists she is currently single. Chlöe did confirm her real-life experiences with love inspire her lyrics.

Lola Brooke Teases Collaboration With Meek Mill

Brooklyn rapper Lola Brooke broke out onto the Hip Hop scene with her “Don’t Play with It” single. Brooke then earned a co-sign from fellow Brooklynite and rap legend Lil Kim.

MEFeater magazine tapped Lola Brooke for the outlet’s latest cover story titled “The Heiress of New York.” In the article, the Arista recording artist showed love back to Lil Kim and teased a potential song with a Philadelphia-bred rhymer.

“You have DMX, Jay -Z, Foxy, Lil Wayne, Missy, Kim, Eve, and Busta Rhymes. Meek Mill is one of my biggest inspirations, and we might already have something in the tuck. Tell Meek we need to tap back in, actually,” said Brooke.

Brooke also displayed her love for NYC culture by partnering with Timberland for the footwear brand’s Hip Hop Royalty Boot campaign. She told MEFeater how another rap star from her hometown inspired her to start rapping.

“One of my memories of discovering my love for rap was seeing 50 Cent’s video for ‘Wanksta.’ He showed us something that I could relate to. It was so New York, so raw. You can still watch that video today and feel the energy,” expressed Lola Brooke.

In addition to dropping her own singles like “Don’t Play with It” featuring Billy B, Lola Brooke appeared on Flo Milli’s “Conceited” along with Maiya The Don. A remix for “Don’t Play with It” came out on Match 24. Latto and Yung Miami are featured on the new version.

Megan Thee Stallion Throws First Pitch At Astros’ Opening Day In Hometown Of Houston  

Proud Houston native Megan Thee Stallion played a starring role in the Houston Astros’ 2023 season-opener against the Chicago White Sox on Thursday night (Mar. 30).  

The Grammy Award winner was tasked with throwing out the ceremonial first pitch for the World Series champions at the Astros’ home opener. 

According to the commentary, Megan Thee Stallion was throwing strikes during her pre-game practice session. Donning a white Astros jersey tied at the front and matching white pants, she confidently stepped up to the pitcher’s mound. 

After taking in the moment, the H-Town Hottie joked that she was scared before throwing a pitch to David Hensley. Unfortunately, she missed the intended target and landed just outside the left-handed batter’s box.  

However, despite their exciting opener, the game didn’t end well for the reigning champs. The White Sox won the game over the Astors with a 3-2 victory. Check out Meg’s pitching prowess in the clip below.  

Meanwhile, as well as hanging out with the Astros, Megan Thee Stallion is back in her hometown to perform at the NCAA March Madness Music Festival on Friday. Although engaged in a legal dispute with the “Plan B” hitmaker, her record label urged the city to support her headlining set at the AT&T Block Party. 

After recently expressing his regret over their bitter public feud, 1501 CEO Carl Crawford extended another olive branch. The former MLB star took to Instagram on Wednesday to welcome Megan Thee Stallion back to Houston. Read his statement below.

Latto Seeks “Constructive Criticism” From 777 Radio Show Fans: “How Can I Be A Better Host?” 

Latto is making her foray into presenting very seriously after the launch of her new Apple Music podcast titled 777 Radio

After first announcing the show last week, the debut episode aired on Thursday (Mar. 30), featuring Chlöe Bailey.  

Latto took to social media shortly after the broadcast to hear fans’ feedback. She also wanted to clear up a few questions about the episode.  

While she didn’t state what prompted the clarification, Latto made sure fans knew she recorded the episode with Chlöe more than six months ago. “Hey jackasses! This #777Radio Chloe episode was filmed in September! 💡🤯” she tweeted. 

The Ohio native also sought “constructive” critique from her followers, with added emphasis on the “constructive.” 

“How can I be a better host? Like frfr!” Latto asked before adding that she still has episodes to film. “So I’d love to hear sum CONSTRUCTIVE criticism from ppl who actually watched/listened to the episode!” 

One fan suggested Latto “Listen more without interrupting the guests,” claiming she “cut Chlöe off a lot to either agree with her or add your own story.”  

Latto took the 777 Radio feedback graciously, stating, “I said this to myself too lol I agree 🥴 NOTED! ✍” 

Latto also expressed relief at finally airing the show and promised the next 777 Radio episode is more current.  

“Omg I loveeee it!” she declared when asked how she felt about having her own platform. “I’ve been sitting on this for some time now handling the business (hence why I told y’all Chloe episode was filmed in September) so I’m happy it’s finally out! The next episode was recently filmed tho so it’ll be more current.” 

She also confirmed her younger sister, model and influencer Brooklyn Nikole, will appear at some point, but her next guest “will be a female rapper.” 

50 Cent Calls Out Vivica A. Fox For Directing ‘First Lady Of BMF’ Movie 

50 Cent is unhappy with a new biopic that tells the tale of Tonesa Welch, titled The First Lady of BMF: The Tonesa Welch Story

According to recent reports, the movie will air on BET+ and is directed by Fiddy’s ex-girlfriend Vivica A. Fox. Judge Greg Mathis and Tressa Azarel Smallwood are executive producing the movie. The real-life Tonesa Welch inspired the character of Markisha Taylor in the 50 Cent series BMF.  

However, 50 Cent isn’t a fan of the project, its title, or his ex’s involvement in it. He also can’t grasp why why the reality TV judge is in on the action. On Thursday evening (Mar. 30), the G-Unit honcho took to Instagram to air his grievances, starting with the name of the show. He shared a report about the upcoming biopic and listed his complaints in the caption.  

“This should say 263 not BMF,’ he wrote, suggesting Tonesa Welch was the First Lady of the offshoot organization 263 rather than BMF itself. “What the f### is this man ! ☕️🐸 “ he added before moving on to his former girlfriend and Judge Mathis.  

“Vivica ugh, So your not gonna ever leave me alone hun? 👀and what the f### is judge Mathis doing in this mix😳I’m done, Im done with all of you ni66as. LOL,” he added.

Meanwhile, Tonesa Welch recently called out the writers of the Starz series for their portrayal of the character she inspired. In the show, Markisha is in a relationship with teenage high schooler Terry Flenory.  

“WTF who wrote this part of the Story. [Terry] 17 I’m 26 years my husband a [kingpin] but I’m having sex with a 17 year old who’s supposedly still in high school,” she questioned in an Instagram post last month. “I guess they have Markisha looking like a pedophile.”

6ix9ine Suspected Attackers Arrested For Brutal Gym Beating & Robbery  

Three men suspected of jumping Tekashi 6ix9ine while he was working out are in custody. 

Several assailants were said to have ambushed 6ix9ine while he was in the sauna at a South Florida LA Fitness gym on March 1. According to his attorney, the controversial artist suffered extensive injuries in the unprovoked attack. He tried to defend himself against the assailants, but he was outnumbered and ended up badly beaten.  

6ix9ine didn’t have security with him at the time. The rapper was rushed to a local hospital and treated for a blood clot in his eye and multiple fractured ribs.  

Footage of the beatdown surfaced online, as did recordings of the suspected attackers in the moments before approaching the rapper. While many theories emerged surrounding the identity of the suspects, cops believe they have the attackers in custody.  

A spokesperson for the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office confirmed to TMZ that cops arrested three men for assaulting and robbing the New York native. Rafael Medina, Jr., Octavious Medina and Anthony Maldonado were booked and processed into county jail on Thursday evening (March v30).  

6ix9ine Flees to Cuba

6ix9ine fled the country and resurfaced in Cuba earlier this week, where he was seen hiking up a mountain.  

However, the notorious attention-seeker is not laying low and seems to be making a musical comeback. A video circulated online of 6ix9ine wrapped in a Cuban flag while crooning in Spanish, apparently recording a new music video. 

He was accused of causing chaos and “humiliating” the country by tossing money at fans while visiting last month. The Cuban government reportedly shut down the internet for hours in February to stop the videos of the incident from circulating. 

Spice-“Spice Marley” Video

Grammy-nominated artist and entrepreneur Spice recently released her new single and music video, “Spice Marley,” on all music streaming platforms. 

A departure from her renowned raw lyricism, the new track gives fans a view into Spice’s softer side, as her first ever reggae single – an homage to the ‘pioneer of Reggae,’ Bob Marley, and her home in Jamaica.

The new song comes after the release of her 2023 single  “God A Bless Me,” which she released alongside a viral pregnancy photo signifying her rebirth and new outlook on life since a medical scare in late 2022.

The singer announced on her Instagram that both tracks are part of a trio of releases to celebrate Women’s History Month, with another new song and forthcoming music video.

“‘Spice Marley’ is my Gospel song in Reggae form,” says Spice. “I just want to dedicate this to God and thank him for saving my life.” 

Spice’s reign at the top of the reggae/dancehall music kingdom is acknowledged by Billboard, Apple Music and Spotify, who have placed her at the top of their charts in her genre. Spice has a loyal fan base as her music has been collectively streamed more than 433 million times on YouTube and more than 65 million times on Spotify.

With a Grammy nomination for Best Reggae Album, the YVA Award for Female Artist of the Year 7 consecutive times, and the IRAWMA Award for Female DJ of the Year, the hard-working mother of two shows no signs of slowing down.

Cardi B, Offset & Their Kids Make ‘Baby Shark’ Movie A Family Affair

Cardi B announced her family’s involvement in the upcoming film Baby Shark’s Big Movie.

Nickelodeon, Paramount Plus and the Pinkfong Company unveiled the animated film’s voice cast on Thursday (March 30). Cardi B, Offset and their children will appear in the movie, which is due out later this year.

“Happy to announce that me & my family will be in the BABY SHARKS BIG MOVIE,” Cardi B wrote on Twitter.

Cardi B and Offset will reprise their Sharki B and Offshark roles from the television series Baby Shark’s Big Show. Their daughter Kulture returns to voice Kulture Sharki. The couple’s son Wave Set makes his debut as Wavey Shark in the film.

Baby Shark’s Big Movie features NSYNC singer Lance Bass playing himself. Other notable cast members include Saturday Night Live stars Ego Nwodim and Chloe Fineman.

Earlier this month, Cardi B scored another victory in her legal battle against vlogger Tasha K. The U.S. Court of Appeals denied Tasha K’s appeal in a defamation lawsuit.

“Damn Winos!” Tasha K wrote on social media. “We lost the appeal… against #CardiB sad day.. but I’m gonna be alright… I appreciate all your love & support. Throughout this fight. Today we throw in the white flag… To Cardi and her team, I apologize sincere. We live & learn.”

A jury found Tasha K liable for defamation, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress in 2022. Cardi B was awarded more than $4 million.

Donald Trump Indicted; MagaManiacs Threaten War

Donald Trump became America’s first former president to be charged with a crime.

According to multiple reports, a New York grand jury indicted Trump on Thursday (March 30). The former president has been under investigation for hush money paid to Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign.

Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen admitted he paid Daniels $130,000 to keep quiet about her alleged affair with the ex-president. Daniels, an adult film star, allegedly had sex with Trump in 2006.

Daniels received money for her silence in the months leading up to the 2016 presidential election. Reports about the payment emerged in 2018.

The exact charge or charges against Trump haven’t been disclosed. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s investigation reportedly focused on falsifying business records.

Trump, who is running for president in 2024, denied any wrongdoing. His current lawyer Joe Tacopina echoed the same sentiment in a statement to the Associated Press.

“He did not commit any crime,” Tacopina said. “We will vigorously fight this political prosecution in court.”

News of Trump’s indictment sparked outrage from his ardent supporters on social media. MAGA diehards suggested going to war in support of the twice-impeached ex-president.

Check out some of the MAGA reactions to the indictment below.

Bun B Reacts To BigTyme Recordz Founder’s Death: “Without You There Would Be No UGK”

BigTyme Recordz founder Russell Washington passed away, prompting Bun B to speak out on social media.

Bun B thanked Washington for giving UGK their first break in an Instagram post on Thursday (March 30). BigTyme signed Bun B and Pimp C in the early ‘90s. Washington’s label released The Southern Way, UGK’s debut EP, in 1992.

“Thank you Russell Washington for believing in 2 kids from Port Arthur with a dream to put their small town on the map,” Bun B wrote. “We did that and way more than we ever could’ve imagined. Without you there would be no UGK as we know it and for that I’m eternally grateful. You and Pimp chill out up there until I see y’all again. UGK and Bigtyme for life!”

Bun B and Pimp C later signed with Jive Records, releasing their Too Hard To Swallow album in 1992. UGK’s first studio LP featured songs that originally appeared on The Southern Way.

Washington’s label also played a key role in the career of DJ Screw. BigTyme helped DJ Screw reach audiences outside of Houston by releasing the influential artist’s 3 ‘N The Mornin’ compilations.

BigTyme’s other notable artists included several members of the South Park Coalition. Point Blank, PSK-13, Ice Lord and 20-2-Life dropped projects with the help of Washington.

Yo Gotti’s Restaurant Scene Of Mass Shooting; 7 Shot, 2 Fatally

Two men died in a fatal shooting at Yo Gotti’s Prive restaurant in Memphis on Wednesday (March 29).

According to multiple reports, seven people were shot in the parking lot of the restaurant. One man was pronounced dead at the scene. Another victim died at a local hospital.

Four men in their 30s and a 25-year-old woman were wounded in the gunfire. Police didn’t disclose the conditions of the five victims who survived the shooting.

Authorities said the shooting stemmed from an argument inside the restaurant, which Yo Gotti purchased for his mother. Police are investigating the deadly incident.

“On behalf of Prive, they’ve been in business for 10 years, and nothing like this has ever happened at their establishment,” Horne said. “It happened out in the parking lot, and it ended up in a shootout. Nothing happened inside the restaurant. Despite any conflicting reports, they were closing, and this happened at the end of the evening in the parking lot.”

Police asked anyone with information about the shooting to contact Crime Stoppers at 901-528-2274.

Does New Text From Victim Prove Jonathan Majors Is No Monster?

The question everyone in Black Hollywood is asking right now is Jonathan Majors, the media darling and breakout star in the new movie “Creed III,” a monster.

Well, according to TMZ, his lawyers have released a text exchange between him and his alleged victim Priya Chaudhry that is supposed to prove that he is not.

In a text where he asked Chaudhry, “Did you leave the keys?”

She responded, “Please let me know you’re okay when you get this. They assured me that you won’t be charged. They said they had to arrest you as protocol when they saw the injuries on me and they knew we had a fight.”

It continued, “I’m so angry that they did. And I’m sorry you’re in this position. Will make sure nothing happens about this.”

“I told them it was my fault for trying to grab your phone. I only just got out of the hospital,” she texted her former lover. “Just call me when you’re out.”

The woman continued to allegedly text, “They just called again to check on me and I reiterated how this was not an attack and they do not have my blessing on any charges being placed.”

“I read the paper they gave me about strangulation and I said point blank this did not occur and should be removed immediately. The judge is definitely going to be told this. She ensured this to me.”

Adding, “I know you have the best team and there’s nothing to worry about I just want you to know that I’m doing all I can on my end. I also said to tell the judge to know that the origin of the call was to do with me collapsing and passing out and your worry as my partner due to our communication prior. Out of care. She promised all this will be relayed.”

Twitter users had mixed reactions to her text messages.

Angela White (aka Blac Chyna) Says She Lost 10lbs When She Removed Silicone From Butt

Angela White, the woman formerly known as Blac Chyna, is on the path of changing her life.

The former exotic dancer and baby mother of two high-profile influencers in Hip Hop has recently shed some pounds thanks to removing her silicone butt implants.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, the social media star, whose real name is Angela White, said she believed it was time to give up some of the cosmetics of her public personality because her children were getting older.

This is quite a change as the 34-year-old had been getting plastic surgery since she was 19. In those 15 years, many have no clue as to what she really looked like.

In an interview with Access Hollywood had 1,250 CC’s (cubic centimeters) removed from her rear end, an act that allowed her to drop 10 pounds, jokingly saying, “Two-liter Coke bottle all in my booty.”

In addition to making changes to her outer body, she is also making changes to her spiritual body.

“I embrace the many ways I’ve already grown. I see how far I’ve come, and I know how much further I am going,” she said in a post.

Blueface Defends Chrisean Rock Smoking Weed While Pregnant

Rapper Blueface and Chrisean Rock might not be “couple goals” for most, but no one can deny how ride or die they are for each other.

Just last week, the two were Twitter beefing online and Blueface mocked his on-and-off girlfriend for being pregnant. Now, that fans are ripping her for smoking weed while pregnant, he has come to his girl’s defense.

On Wednesday, March 29th around 1:38 p.m. he tweeted, “Lots of women smoke weed until their last trimester there is no effect don’t shoot the messenger.”

He followed up saying, “I’m only tweeting the truth weather its In her favor or not I’m not bias.”

Fans jumped in the comments and first challenged his use of “weather” vs. “whether.”

Then they asked, “When’s her due date let’s start there. You gonna be there or you still not claiming??? Blue flag?”

Another person focused on the unborn child, “That poor poor baby. This is the same woman that was trying to remove glass from his head with a vacuum! I hope she gets audio books on how to take care of an infant. 😔 Cause these two are lost causes.”

However, what are the facts?

According to the CDC, “Marijuana use during pregnancy can be harmful to your baby’s health. The chemicals in marijuana (in particular, tetrahydrocannabinol or THC) pass through your system to your baby and may harm your baby’s development.”

It further states, “Some research shows that using marijuana while you are pregnant can cause health problems in newborns, including lower birth weight and abnormal neurological development.”

In plain talk, Blueface is wrong on this one.

Chlöe Bailey Addresses Quavo Dating Rumors On Latto’s ‘777 Radio’

Atlanta-based Migos member Quavo has been rumored to be romantically involved with several high-profile women, including singer/actress Chlöe Bailey of Chloe x Halle.

Chlöe Bailey is the first guest on Atlanta rapper Latto’s new Apple Music 1 podcast titled 777 Radio. Latto asked Bailey about the talk of her being Quavo’s current love interest.

“The tea was that you was talking to Quavo,” suggested Latto. Chlöe responded, “Uh oh, well, we’re doing a movie together.” The Grown-ish sitcom star from Georgia was referring to the upcoming Praise This film.

Latto pressed the issue a little further on 777 Radio by questioning if Chlöe and Quavo really are just working together. Bailey told the “Big Energy” hitmaker, “Yes, working. He’s a really nice guy. Yeah, he’s nice… I like his locs.”

While Chlöe Bailey has to deal with speculation about her love life, Latto also constantly finds her name attached to an Atlanta-area rap star. Last month, Latto flat-out denied dating 21 Savage. However, a recent song snippet reignited the gossip.

In addition to coming together for 777 Radio, Latto and Chlöe Bailey teamed up on the “For the Night” collaboration in 2022. Bailey will let loose her debut studio album, In Pieces, this Friday, March 31. The project features Chris Brown, Missy Elliott, and Future.

Tyler, The Creator Explains Why Being A Rapper Is “Awesome”

Rapper/singer/producer Tyler, The Creator is one of the main subjects highlighted on Hulu’s RapCaviar Presents documentary series.

The streaming network released a clip from Tyler, The Creator’s “Breaking The Mold” episode. In the 77-second preview, the 32-year-old Californian talked about why he appreciates being a Hip Hop artist.

“I’m a rapper. I love that s###. It’s a beautiful thing,” stated Tyler. “We’re good with words. We’re good with rhythm. We know pockets. We hear a collection of sounds in one thing and say, ‘I know what could go over this.’ That takes a skill.”

The founding member of the Odd Future collective added, “Hey, we know narrative. I know what you’re feeling. I know how to put those in words where you can understand yourself better. Being a rapper is awesome… We’re great storytellers. Being a rapper is awesome.”

Previously, Hulu published a YouTube video from RapCaviar Presents which featured Tyler, The Creator and his musical mentor Pharrell Williams. In the vid, Tyler said, “I didn’t have a father.
