Safaree Dating K. Michelle Now
I knew there was something going on when dude sent K. Michelle a bunch of sunflowers when she was in the hospital. It has now been revealed that Safaree is seeing the big booty singer. I think K’s booty might be bigger than Nicki’s boulder butt. They previously also had spent the Valentine’s Day holiday together. I guess they are seeing other people, but what does that mean? This is just a damn silly fake reality show romance to get people talking. AND IT WORKS!
But. Yeah. With Meek and Nicki on a world tour, not a lot is taking away from their shine.

Watch Kanye West's Acceptance Speech For The Visionary Award At The BET Honors (VIDEO)
During his acceptance speech at the BET Honors for his Visionary Award, Kanye West slammed racism and encouraged black men to think beyond stereotypical goals of “making it.”
Yeezy started off by talking about being in a interracial marriage and told a story about how his wife’s father, Robert Kardashian, forseen that she would have a black child.
“She told me [about] where her father, Robert Kardashian, walked out and on the side of his Bentley, they wrote, ‘N##### Lover,’ because Robert Kardashian was the genius that put together the defense team that got O.J. off,” he said. “She had never saw her father curse, get mad. He was the most laidback human being and he went so crazy and tried to chase the people down. And she stood there crying and said, ‘Dad, why are you going so crazy?’ And he said to her, ‘One day, you may have a black child. A beautiful, beautiful, beautiful black child. And it’s going to be hard. You’re going to see how hard it is.'”
Ye’ also said that most of his rants from last year were taken out of context and that he was trying to encourage black men to expand their goals.
“Yes, part of the reason why I’m not allowed to be empowered is because of race, because of people’s perception of celebrity, because all they want to present to young, black men is the idea of making it to the league or making it to be a rapper, but not the idea of becoming an owner.’ And they would do anything they can to make it seem like a truthful idea is a stupid idea or crazy idea.”
Watch his speech below.

Chamillionaire Is Now An Entrepreneur-In-Residence For A Venture Capital Firm
Chamillionaire isn’t riding dirty anymore. He’s now an entrepreneur-in-residence for Upfront Ventures, an investment firm.
In a letter written by Upfront Ventures’ investment partner Mark Suster, he detailed how his relationship with Chamillionaire began and how the “Hip Hop Police” rapper is flourishing into quite the entrepreneur. The Houston spitter caught Suster’s eye after a 2009 speech about social media engagement in the music industry.
A few years back he started many mini investments in tech firms with Suster, which led to Cham wanting to becoming more involved with the tech start up world.
“A while back Chamillionaire started telling me he wanted to immerse himself even more in the tech world – learning to build products, studying different business models and committing himself to being a true tech entrepreneur,” Suster wrote. “Chamillionaire has a way more refined sense of what customer behavior is like than most ivy league graduates with nice Powerpoint slides that I meet.”
Now as an entrepreneur-in-residence for the next several months, Chamillionaire is soaking up knowledge about start ups and is also advising Upfront Ventures along with his business partner and producer Nsilo Reddick.
“And while Cham is always the guy on stage blowing away the audience, Nsilo has always been the quiet, reflective guy in the background with all the answers,” Suster said. “They make a great pair.”
Don’t sleep. Cham still raps for a living in addition to his new ventures.

Jasiri X drops his new song “Don’t Let Them Get Away With Murder” which further fights against the American scoundrel of “police brutality.”
“Unarmed people of color are being killed wholesale by police officers across the country. Their deaths are being ruled as homicides, yet no one is being held accountable. It is my hope that this song will serve as a reminder of how severely broken the justice system is and that we need to take action now to make sure all people are treated equally and given justice.” – Jasiri X
