Kylie Jenner is known for celebrating her birthdays a little better than the average 19-year-old. For her 19th birthday, the reality TV star and boyfriend/rapper Tyga took a trip to Turks and Caicos Island. Jenner also invited her big sister Kendall and a few friends along the celebrate her birthday.

Also, it looks like Kylie didn’t let her man’s legal troubles bother her special day. On Tuesday, a judge issued a bench warrant for Tyga after he failed to show up in court hearing about money he owed to landlord back in 2011 but lucky for him, he was able to find a way to pay his sizeable debt and have the warrant canceled thus allowing him to return back to America. Nice to have a girlfriend who can bail him out it times of financial troubles.

A week later, the young couple flew back on a private jet. Although, she did not receive a Ferrari this year, Kylie mentioned that this birthday was the best one yet.

Later Whoo Kid addressed the parking ticket  incident during an interview on Sirius. “I didn’t know I had nine suspensions on my license,” said Whoo Kid who was all jokes during the interview. “They said I was texting, whatever. I was looking at my phone and they pulled me over,” he said.

Although Kanye West’s latest album “The Life Of Pablo” has helped him earn a number 1 spot on the Billboard 200 last week, the creative album may have gotten him into some legal trouble.

According the TechCrunch, a Yeezus fan named Justin Baker-Rhett has filed a lawsuit against Kanye, Jay Z, and their music streaming company Tidal. Back in February when the album dropped, West promised that “TLOP” will be only featured on the new streaming service. This vow has recently been broken according to Baker-Rhett, when the album recently has been featured on other major music streaming services.

“My album will never-never never be on Apple,” he tweeted at the time. “And it will never be for sale… You can only get it on Tidal.”

Rhett claims that the lie was only announced in order to help TIDAL avoid failure. Stating that Kanye West fans were bamboozled into paying for the company’s rescue because they believed they could only hear the album if they downloaded and purchased the app. Following the release of “TLOP,” the platform saw a $84 million (2 million subscribers) more in growth. The album also doubled the company’s subscribers.

Was Kanye wrong for giving a company he owns first dibs on his new album?

After recently settling his beef with Metro Boomin’ a few days ago, rapper Young Thug now has a new enemy in the hip hop game. Veteran rapper Trick Daddy visited The Breakfast Club to talk about sex, homosexuality, and how his come-up in the game differs from the rappers of today.

During the interview, he shared his opinion on the 50 Cent and Vivica A. Fox beef that went full viral last week. The actress insinuated that 50 Cent might be playing for the other team and the G-Unit rapper publicly announced that Ms. Fox ate the “groceries”. Trick Daddy stated that he did not see anything wrong with a giving women, but it was another subject in today’s rap culture he wanted to discuss.

Trick Daddy pointed out that this new era of rap artists are much different then when he got into the game. “You got blond tips and skinny jeans and tight shirts. They come out rich on their records. They come out with a clique already,” said the unofficial mayor of Miami. He also brought Cash Money’s latest star Young Thug into the conversation, along with some more advice for artist on the rise. “Four out of five of them sound like Future. Three out of five of them look like Young Thug. You can have your own look. You can have your own identity and still be okay,” Trick states.

According to Trick Daddy most artist coming out now SOUND like FUTURE and LOOK like YOUNG THUG. Facts or Fiction? pic.twitter.com/ticvzKAKOo

Trick then continued to single Thugger out by mentioning the young rapper’s fashion choices, which were not too popular back in the 90’s like they are now. “I just don’t see a dude calling himself a ‘thug,’ or calling himself a killer, when, if he pulls his pants up, you can see his shape,” said Trick. Then Charlamagne, in an undeniable to attempt to bring the Slime Season rapper into the fold, asked, “What about the ‘thug’ wearing a dress?” Although, Trick Daddy did not take Charlamagne’s bait, his comments rubbed Thugger the wrong way and led to a few Twitter comments directed the Miami rapper.

WE TV’s brand new show “Selling It: In The ATL” follows a diverse group of  seven professionals who are about to change the face of the real estate game in Atlanta. The show, which premiered on November 5th, enters into a professional world that was once dominated by men, and now theses ladies and their larger than life personalities take over while closing major deals in the booming city of Atlanta. Executive produced by “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Sheree Whitfield, make sure you check out “Selling It: In The ATL” on Thursdays at 10pm.

Hip Hop Enquirer sat down with WE TV’s “Selling It In The ATL” cast member A’Lana Banks to discuss her reality TV experience with the shade being exhibited toward co-cast members, the art of selling real estate in Atlanta and more. In the interview with celebrity host Riley McKnight, A’Lana Banks explains her real estate method compared to that of the other women on the show. “I was like Jae, I was that firecracker who wanted to be off the chain but then I met someone and I humbled myself. So, it is very important to make yourself known and learn how to take in information. Also, remember that your first impression is your lasting impression.” stated Banks.

When asked about the amount of shade that was being thrown while filming and how the audience can learn from the women Banks stated, “I don’t think the shade is toward the real estate business, I think it is toward the different personalities in the room because when you put seven women on a show together there will be a lot of shade thrown. People take real estate very personal, they wear it on their sleeve, eat, sleep, and breathe the business. Those are the people who want everyone to believe the morals, professionalism, and the image. Although, those might not be the happy people but they will be able to appreciate the show. So when everyone goals are a little different you tend to see a lot of techniques the women use.”

“Every girl has a different technique so I know what everyone is good at, and I know what type of property they like to sell. Real Estate has so many areas but to last in this business you have to know how to cover all areas to be able to keep that person and close that deal. So, it is very important to know how to sell all of real estate while also finding your niche.”

Banks was also asked about the sex chair that was featured on episode 1, she replied with: “I have been told that I make others comfortable around me. I wanted  to put them in a real estate environment but also wanted to see learn about them on a more personal level and how they represent themselves.

When I started my brokerage firm, I did it because I was tired of giving away a percentage of my check. So I got my broker license, the word got out that I was opening my firm so many people who wanted to work for me started calling me. So now I have two powerhouse agents.”

In the interview for the publication, Rihanna sat down at her favorite restaurant in Los Angeles and opened up about her highly publicized love life. During New York Fashion Week last month, Rihanna was rumored to be dating rapper Travis Scott. The two were seen out in public together looking cozy however she claims that those rumors are false and that her last “real” relationship was with R&B singer Chris Brown.

“I don’t hate him,” Rihanna said of Brown, 26. “I will care about him until the day I die. We’re not friends, but it’s not like we’re enemies. We don’t have much of a relationship now.”

Admitting to thinking that she could change Brown, Rihanna said:  “I was that girl. That girl who felt that as much pain as this relationship is, maybe some people are built stronger than others. Maybe I’m one of those people built to handle shit like this. Maybe I’m the person who’s almost the guardian angel to this person, to be there when they’re not strong enough, when they’re not understanding the world, when they just need someone to encourage them in a positive way and say the right thing.”

[huge_it_slider id=”2″]

When the interviewer decided to venture into the bad girl persona Rihanna is known for, she said:  “I honestly think how much fun it would be to live my reputation. People have this image of how wild and crazy I am, and I’m not everything they think of me. The reality is that the fame, the rumors—this picture means this, another picture means that—it really freaks me out. It made me back away from even wanting to attempt to date. It’s become second nature for me to just close that door and just be okay with that. I’m always concerned about whether people have good or bad intentions.”

Rapper/actor Ice Cube pulled the plug on a concert early when a few fans got into a fist fight right in front of the stage. The west coast rap veteran was about 4 or 5 songs in at the Queen Mary in Long beach, California, when the incident broke out. Furious at what was happening in front of him, Cube told the crowd that this was “bullsh**” and left the stage.

TMZ, shows video footage of the brawl and security breaking up a group of people, before Ice Cube declares “Show over, man.”

Earlier in the night, Cube introduced his son O’Shea Jackson Jr. and gave a shout out to the film “Straight Outta Compton.”

The film “Straight Outta Compton” tells the story of the rise of west coast rap group N.W.A. and Ruthless Records. “Straight Outta Compton” was recently number 1 at the box office for three weeks in a row.

There is no doubt that Kanye West can bring the people out at anything he does in music and fashion with little effort on his part however, one New York designer is accusing the mogul of not playing by the rules of decorum as she believes he intentionally is trying to put a monkey wrench in her program by causing a conflict by hosting his streetwear showing on the same date as hers is suppose to take place.

West announced at the last minute that there will be a Yeezy Season 2 fashion show on Wednesday September 16th at Noon and designer Anne Bowen is furious about it. Bowen, who is known for designing wedding dresses, was planning on showing  her new streetwear collection called Nomad VII by Anne Bowen at the same darn time according to her representatives.

Bowen took her fashion frustrations to WWD:

“We have been prepping for a year for this at considerable financial, labor- and commitment-cost to our company. Our show date has been scheduled for months and has been on the Fashion Calendar for weeks. We went through all the proper channels to make this a reality. And just yesterday we learned that Kanye West is having a show at the same time on the same date as ours.”

“Kanye knows he is a media sensation and it is just not ethical to do this. It’s like we are David and he is Goliath. We have put our heart and soul into our show, and should not be stepped on like this,” continued Bowen.

Anne Bowen then stated that she has moved her show’s date to Thursday, September 17th at 12:30. Bowen fears that because they are both releasing a streetwear collection, that press would cover West’s show instead of hers.

“In order for our show to have any significance, we now have to move our date and time which is a logistical nightmare, three days out from our originally scheduled time,” said Bowen.

According to her publicist, “We’re scrambling like crazy and it’s costing us a lot of money.” She said there are cancellation fees and they’re trying to secure the same models and photographers, “and now we have to re-invite the press…We sent out printed invites by hand, and they’re useless. We’re trying to contact everyone by e-mail,” said the publicist.

Kanye West will be revealing his Yeezy Season 2 collection at Skylight Modern at 537 West 27th Street, with a performance once again by Vanessa Beecroft.

The aftermath of Ray J and Princess Love’s public fight in New Orleans that ended with her going to jail for him is taking a toll on her. Their rocky relationship has been put on blast on every blog since the couple made their debut on season one last year. Princess accused Ray J of telling TMZ a fake story that she broke his rib cage which he didn’t deny during the episode last night. Just when you think things couldn’t get any worse, Ray J promised to give up his apartment so Princess could see that he is only devoted to her but his “addiction” for the turn up may be just the thing that ends their relationship for good.

Ray throws a party with strippers and Princess finds out about it and all hell breaks loose! She ends up getting into a fight with one of the dancers after a few rude comments where made. Lets see where this relationship goes while we get further into the season.

Definitely one of the milder couples on the show, Apryl and Omarion are trying to spice up their relationship after Apryl gave birth to their first son. While speaking to Nikki, Apryl revealed that their baby boy Megaa was doing great but he was “interrupting mommy and daddy’s nasty time.”  Nikki offered to send Apryl a few pieces of lingerie to help fix her relationship with Omarion.

Unlike Empire, Love and Hip Hop Hollywood will likely lose a lot of their audience as they have decided to follow in the foot steps of the hit show with the introduction of a gay couple which has already received a push back from fans of the show. It will be very difficult for those who are fans of the show to have to swallow with the addition of this openly gay couple to the cast.

Miles is a west coast unknown rapper who has a relationship with another unknown producer named Milan who also happens to be a male model. The struggle is apparent for Miles because his best friend Amber who doesn’t know he is gay is in love with him. It is quite obvious from this episode that this relationship will be drama filled because of the stigma of openly gay black males in hip hop.

Unfortunately Soulja Boy, Lil Fizz, and Nia Riley did not make an appearance on episode 1, but the teaser shown at the end of the show revealed Nia and Soulja might have went through a few relationship problems.

After watching the”Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood” season premiere, do you think this season will out shine Love and Hip Hop Atlanta? We think there is some stiff competition ahead but let’s just wait and see as this is only episode 1.

Supporters of slain Baltimore man Freddie Gray were in front of the courthouse were six police officers appeared in front of Judge Barry Williams today for a hearing to decide if their case would be dismissed as well as would State Prosecutor Mosby be recused from handling the case against the cops.

“We are not looking to punish anybody but we are looking for the court to remedy the damage that has been done to the fair trial rights of the defendants,” Andrew Graham, a lawyer for Officer Caesar R. Goodson Jr., who faces murder charges in Mr. Gray’s death said at a hearing. “The state’s attorney basically accepted and encouraged the public’s cry of ‘No justice, no peace.’ ”

Ms. Mosby’s May 1 news conference announcing the charges against the officers was widely seen here as helping soothe a city on edge. Michael Schatzow, Ms. Mosby’s deputy, mentioned that to Judge Williams in vigorously defending her, and said her statements had been were appropriate. But when Mr. Schatzow suggested her words had helped calm the city, Judge Williams replied: “It isn’t the prosecutor’s job to calm the city. Isn’t it the prosecutor’s job to prosecute cases?”

At another point, defense lawyers complained that Ms. Mosby had violated prosecutorial rules by acknowledging during her news conference that the officers had cooperated in the investigation. “That’s inappropriate and you know that,” the judge told Mr. Schatzow. “You have to concede that.”

Outraged activists are blocking the streets holding up signs that say “Stop racism now” and chanting “Indict, convict, send those killer cops to jail. The whole damn system is guilty as hell” and “Tell the truth and stop the lies, Freddie Gray didn’t have to die.”

Community activist Kwame Rose was reportedly hit by a car during the protester’s blockade. Police forced protester off the road, while rose was arrested, handcuffed, and moved into a van.

Anya Parampil is in Baltimore, covering the protests.

The Baltimore Sun reports that activists have spread the protest throughout the city as the hearings began. “Our message is pretty obvious. Do not drop the charges. No change in venue. Do not recuse Marilyn Mosby,” Sharon Black, of the Baltimore People’s Power Assembly, told the Sun.

Claiming that Mosby is now a conflict of interest because of her husband Nick Mosby, a city councilman, who has made prejudicial statements, including “inciting rhetoric” at a news conference announcing the charges.

The defense lawyers have also asked that the officers be tried individually and to have the trial moved outside of Baltimore because of the heavy news coverage this case is receiving.

Mosby has become a well-known figure since her decision to charge six officers in the April 19 arrest and death of Gray, who died of a severed spine suffered while in police custody. Each officer has pleaded not guilty.

Last week, the announcement came that Mike Vick will be joining the Steelers, but fans of the team are not happy about it!

Vick was arrested eight years ago and imprisoned for 21 months, for allegedly funding dog fighting on his own property. Today, Vick has restored is place in the NFL. Steelers’ fans have created a petition on Change.org, with hopes of getting his job offer revoked. The petition currently has 20k signatures and counting!

The originator of the petition left Vick a comment about his feelings toward the athlete: “Michael Vick is a convicted felon and no-class piece of crap. He is also a terrible QB which is why he has no team. Let’s united as Steeler fans – as NFL fans – and stop him from playing on our team! Steelers fans united! Sign to keep Vick from ever wearing the coveted Steelers uniform!!”

Some outraged fans even took their frustrations to social media. Read the post below written by an anonymous Facebook user:

“I applaud your decision to be outraged over the Steelers signing Michael Vick. You’ve overlooked Big Ben getting accused of sexual assault, Hines Wardgetting DUI’s while cheating on his wife with half of the city, you can’t wait for Le’Veon Bell to get back after his drug-related charges and suspension. Hell, you called for the Steelers to bring back Jeff Reed and his multiple arrests for disorderly conduct and assaulting paper towel dispensers after Suisham got hurt. You acted like we won the lottery when the team brought back James Harrison who was arrested for domestic violence. Granted none of those guys hurt puppies – Just their family, loved ones, various women that they raped or beat up, but you can cheer for them because hey, no dogs were harmed, I guess. Never mind that Vick manned, pled guilty, served his time, took his punishment, and has been by ALL reports nothing short of a model teammate since returning to the NFL. Thankfully none of YOU did dumb stuff in your 20’s that you request. Jesus forgives, but NOT THE CITY OF CHAMPIONS DAMMIT!“

The team’s first day of practice was on Wednsday, which also happened to be “National Dog Day!”

It is going to be a long season for Mike Vick!

Now that Kylie Jenner is now legal, her boo Tyga can now feature her in his music videos. For his new video “Stimulated,” the 18-year-old reality TV star meets up with her man at a posh mansion and kiss on-screen for the first time.

Last year rumors had circulated that the two celebrities were romantically involved. Tyga and Kylie (who was underage at the time), denied that a relationship was going on between the two. Back in February, Amber Rose blasted the Young Money rapper about his “friendship” with Jenner. “That’s ridiculous. [Tyga] should be ashamed of himself.” she said during an interview. Two weeks after Jenner’s 18th birthday Tyga drops “Stimulation” from his latest mixtape “F** What they talking Bout,” to  show fans that they are finally official!

“I feel like it doesn’t matter what the world thinks. If you’re around somebody, and you love being around that person, that’s all that matters,” he continued. “She’s just a good person, she’s got great energy.” explains Tyga.

In the video, Tyga and Kylie get intimate while he raps sexual lyrics like “I’m at the bank, I’m penetrating / I’m putting in, I’m penetrating / I’m getting big, I’m stimulated,” raps Tyga in the innuendo-filled lyrics. “I touched the bitch, she disintegrated / Up in flames, I’ve been the flamest / I’ve been the hottest, you’ve been the lamest.”

Is this the young couple’s way of showing the world that they are officially an item?

After accepting his Vanguard awards at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards last night from Taylor Swift, rapper Kanye West announced his plan to run for president in 2020! During the speech, he spoke about fatherhood, getting booed at stadiums, and how he does not understand award shows.

In true Kanye style, his speech sounded more like a 10 minute rant, here is the full transcript below:

“Bro, bro, listen to the kids. Jeremy, I gotta put it down for a second. First of all, thank you, Taylor, for being so gracious and giving me this award this evening. Thank you. And I often think back to the first day I met you also. I think about when I’m in the grocery store with my daughter and I have a really great conversation about fresh juice at the… you know. And at the end they say, “Oh you’re not that bad after all. And like, I think about it sometimes it crosses my mind a bit when I go to a baseball game and 60,000 people boo me. It crosses my mind a little bit.

And I think if i had to do it all again—what would I have done? Would I have worn a leather shirt? Would I have drank half a bottle of Hennessy and given the rest of it to the audience? Y’all know you drank that bottle, too. If I had a daughter at that time would I have went on stage and grabbed the mic from someone else’s? You know, this arena tomorrow is gonna be a completely different set up—some concert… This stage will be gone. After that night, the stage was gone but the effect that it had on people remained.

The problem was the contradiction. The contradiction is that I do fight for artists but in that fight, somehow, was disrespectful to artists. I didn’t know how to say the right thing, the perfect thing, I sat at the Grammys and saw Justin Timberlake and CeeLo Green lose. Gnarls Barkley and the [FutureSex/LoveSound] album, and bro, Justin I’m not trying to put you on blast but I saw that man in tears, bro. And I was thinking he deserved to win album of the year. And the small box that we are of entertainers of the evening, how could you explain that?

Sometimes I feel like you know all this shit they run about beef and all that, sometimes I feel like I died for the artist’s opinion, for the artist to have an opinion after they got successful. I’m not no politician bro, and look at that. You know how many times MTV ran that footage again? Because it got more ratings? Do you know how many times they announced Taylor was gonna give me this award? Because it got more ratings?

Listen to the kids, bro.

I still don’t understand award shows. I don’t understand how they get five people who work their entire life one sell records, sell concert tickets to come stand on a carpet and for the first time in they life be judged on a chopping block and have the opportunity to be considered a loser. I don’t understand it bro. I do not understand when the biggest album or the biggest video I don’t understand. I’ve been conflicted bro. I just wanted people to like me more. But fuck that, bro. 2015. I will die for the art for what I believe in and the art ain’t always gonna be polite. Y’all might be thinking right now, “I wonder did he smoke something before he came out here?” And the answer is yes, I rolled up a little something, I knocked the edge off. I don’t know what’s gonna happen tonight what’s gonna happen tomorrow bro but all I can say to my artists is just worry about how you feel at the time. I’m confident I believe in myself. We the millennials bro. This is a new mentality. We’re not gonna control our kids with brands. We’re not gonna tech low self-esteem and hate to our kids. We’re gonna teach our kids that they can be something. that they can stand up for themselves. To believe in themselves and if my grandfather was here right now, he would not let me back down.

I don’t know what I’m finna lose after this it don’t matter though because it ain’t about me, it’s about new ideas bro people with ideas people who believe in truth. and yes, as you probably could’ve guessed by this moment I have decided in 2020 to run for president.”

The public is not sure if this announcement was a joke or not, but if Kanye is telling the truth about his plan to run for U.S. President, do you think the country would accept Kim Kardashian as the first lady?

According to TMZ, the woman, dated the point guard from 2011 to 2013. Around that time, she says that Rose pressured her into becoming involved in sexual acts with strangers, but she refused. Rose’s accuser says the two continued to date after that incident, until August 2013. The unnamed woman was allegedly invited to Rose’s Beverly Hills home along with his friend Ryan Allen and manager Randall Hampton, than claims that a drug was slipped in her drink.

The woman said she escaped from the house, but later that night Rose and his two friends broke into her home and began raping her while she was incapacitated. In her lawsuit, she said she only remembers “flashes” of the incident, but clearly remembers the face of the people involved.

Derrick Rose’s victim says she waited two years because she was afraid her conservative family would find out and was ashamed.

Derrick Rose’s attorney Lisa Cohen says that the lawsuit is “an attempt to shake down a highly respected and successful athlete.”

Cohen also adds that victim and basketball star were in a “non-exclusive, consensual sexual relationship for two years” and that there were never any complaints until lawyers started telling her to go after Rose for money. Cohen also adds that the women has hired three lawyers to go after Rose.

Cohen says, “We have complete confidence that the case will be dismissed and that Mr. Rose will be vindicated.

Fox 2 News Detroit reported, that the flier also says  “Zimmerman was right,” with a picture of Trayvon Martin above it. “We will stop thugs like this,” are the words under the photo. So basically, the flier is a terroristic threat towards black people and suggests that they should leave Southfield before November or they will be killed like Zimmerman did Trayvon.

According to the 2010 U.S. Census, Southfield, MI is 70% black and 25% white.

Tamika Denson, who grew up in Southfield and has a mother that still lives there, is upset at the racist campaign and the use of Martin’s image.

“She (Denson’s mother) experienced being hosed down by water hoses and once the decade started to change, you would think it’s better. But now it seems like we are reverting back” said Denson to Detroit’s Fox 2 News.

On Monday, the city’s council released a statement that reads: “The city of Southfield is proud to be a diverse community that is inclusive of all people. Southfield elected officials, staff and residents of numerous ethnic and religious backgrounds work effectively together every day to keep up the high quality of life that we have all come to expect and appreciate. No Southfield elected officials or staff condone this type of negative, destructive and harmful propaganda that is both unfounded and untrue.”
