Tamkea Raymond Owes $200,000 to Former Landlord; Kenya Moore Gets Eviction Overturned

 
 
Looks like the former wife of Usher Raymond, has hit a bump in the road again. She recently lost the battle with her former landlord over past due rent, which is now totaling the whooping amount of $200,000. Initially, she only owed $50,000 in back rent for three retail spaces in  Georgia complex, which housed her business. The landlord sued last year, but since she still didn't pay, chile all those fees add up.
 
"Tameka was battling her former landlord, who claimed she owed nearly $50,000 in back rent for three retail spaces in a Georgia complex where she ran her business. Tameka argued it was her landlord who broke the lease and the case should be tossed, but a judge did not see it that way AT ALL … and ordered Tameka pay up $186,036.50 in principal and $18,628.65 in attorney fees ….. for a grand total of $204,665.15."
Tameka, I hope you get those funds together girl.
 
 
 

On a more brighter note, looks like "Miss Gone with the Wind Fabulous" got her eviction overturned.
The "Real Housewives of Atlanta" starlet was granted good news when an Atlanta Magistrate Court Judge vacated the judgement that formerly evicted Moore by former landlord Conya Weems. Moore proved that she was not late on her rent and goes back to court on July 18 for her counter claim for illegal eviction, slander and defamation of character, according to her publicist Courney Barnes.

Looks like Miss Kenya made sure she would have her day in court,which is what hurt her case before when the eviction was granted. Miss Moore did not show up to court, but the lawfirm representing her claimed they never received a notice about the hearing in the first place.

We'll see how this story develops......

Kirk Responds to Nicki Minaj's Clapback About His Extramarital Behavior; Jumpoff Speaks Her Peace


 
 
Well, whaddya know? Mr. Kirk "I know I ain't s**t" Frost tells TMZ that he knows he's wrong for his actions and all that cheating jazz after the Barb herself, Nicki Minaj told him about himself over twitter last week.
 
Now, let me say this. I've been reading a little buzz amongst the net that this Kirk and Rasheeda drama is all for TV and they are putting their marriage out there for ratings and that check, of course. But me, I kind of think there is truth to this situation because I just can't believe you would act like such a dog ONLY for ratings. I mean, I do, but I think he's being a bit extra.  I think that Kirk let the popularity of "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" go to his head and he was trying to overcome the shadows of last season, where he was perceived as a bit up a "chump". (Maybe that's where the gay rumors came from, because I haven't heard any hot tea surrounding any homosexual activities. They ARE in Atlanta).
 
Anywho, Kirk owned up to his ways by saying :
 
"Nicki Minaj is a woman and she was speaking about me doing inappropriate things. I can't fault her for that. Every woman who watched felt the same way Nicki did."
Awww, wasn't he respectful? More than what he was to his very pregnant wife, but hey, he knows better then to come for Nicki. He has enough haters, ya dig?

Meanwhile, back in whore, I mean whoville, the proud jump off which is Mary Jane hit twitter and told ladies to "hide their husbands". She recently hit the Big Tigga show at V-103 to express her actions. Check out the video below.

*Sidebar*- She also filmed for the reality series "The Real Mistresses of Atlanta" where she glorifies sleeping with other women's husbands. I'm gonna say check it out elsewhere, not gonna give her too much promo.

Matthew Knowles Gets Remarried


Matthew Knowles had tied the knot to his longtime girlfriend, former model, Gena Avery in Houston on June 30. But unfortunately, Beyoncé and Solange were unable to attend. Matthew and their mother Tina divorced back in 2009, after it was alleged that he conceived a child with another woman.

Beyoncé is obviously busy on "The Mrs. Carter Show" and Solange is in England performing at the Glastonbury Music Festival. So, I'm sure it was no coincidence that he decided to get married when he did. Of course, this raises more eyebrows about Beyoncé's estrangement with her father, who was her manager until they parted ways in 2011. I really just think he played it smart, just in case his two daughters, busy or not, may or may not shown up anyway.

Anyways, congrats to the happy couple.

Can't Say Im Surprised: VH1's Gossip Game cancelled and K Foxx FIRED From Hot97


Word on the street is K. Foxx was fired from HOT 97 in addition to the "Gossip Game" being cancelled. I only caught a few episodes, which to me, cast a catty light on the life and times of being a minority woman in the media.

Some believe that her firing was a direct correlation to the dismal failure of the show and who knows, who's not to say that had it been successful, her fate would have been different. I honestly wasn't familiar with K FOXX due to the fact I don't listen or keep up with HOT97 ( Hell, I just learned about Peter Rosenberg when the whole Nicki Minaj thing came about.) Its unfortunate that her career with the station ended, but when one door closes, another one opens, so they say.

I guess that would explain her awkward place on a panel discussion about the Zimmerman trial that I was watching earlier today.

K Foxx sat down with Ebony Magazine to express her thoughts on the matter:
On her abrupt “firing”  
In radio, they don’t give you a two week notice because you could just go on the air and wild out, and say “F*ck you!” and all that. So they have you do a shift and tell you after your shift not to come back. It’s not unheard of for you not know what’s going on up till then.  
On how her co-hosts, Rosenberg and Cipha Sounds responded They’re shocked. And confused…I’m a good person. I always came in to work I wasn’t a bitch to anyone. I always smiled. Did lots of events. I was a team player. [DJ Funkmaster] Flex called me and he said: “You didn’t deserve this. You rode for HOT-97.” I wore that logo on my back.  
On if VH1’s Gossip Game reality TV show caused problems at work I really don’t know. I really don’t know. I didn’t know I had any problems at work. If I did, that’s news to me.  
On Ebro Darden saying “you’ve seen all the rappers’ Johnsons” and that she “got your job” at HOT-97 by sleeping with someone–that you “slept your way to the top”?  
I was thinking—is he saying that “the top” is HOT- 97? That’s the top? For me it’s not. So, I just think that when somebody says that they’re just trying be malicious and hurtful and they just have no idea of who I am or what my story is. That’s why it’s so important for me to do interviews like this. Because you go through so many things, and you don’t want to be a b*tch if you will and lash out but there are little girls who are looking at us.
One thing that I will say about it was that it was hurtful. Because the person that said it, my program director, is the one that hired me. And he brought me in and he knew that was not the truth. So why are you going to play with me like that? Why are you going to play with my livelihood like that?
Lesson learned, I suppose.



 

She Ain't Having It: Nicki MInaj Slams Kirk Frost Dirty Dog Ways



If you caught Monday night's episode of Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta, you had to cringe or yell at the television screen when sorry ass Kirk kissed that chic in the hot tub.

Like I've said before, I don't know what has gotten into him or what he is trying to prove, but really, nigga? Kissing some random, when your wife pregnant and y"all been riding for 15 years? Kirk, you need to exit left and get Iyanla to fix your life ASAP, bruh.

Even Nicki Minaj had some thoughts and concerns and expressed herself via twitter Monday night:


 
And here's another question? On the show, the chick in question that he kissed is named Mary Jane.
Girl, how much class do you lack to knowingly kiss and fornicate with a married woman's husband on national tv? Like, what ever happened to hoes being hoes that were seen but never spoke?  You and Mr. Kirk need your ass handed to you on a silver platter.....we'll see how this develops....







 
 


Slight Bumps in the Road: Mishaps Behind the Scenes at 2013 BET Awards

While all of the black elite in entertainment came out on Sunday, June 30 for the 2013 BET awards, there were a couple of misfires behind the scenes.

You may have heard about the alleged punch that Omarosa's mother, Theresa Manigult, gave to Claudia Jordan on the red carpet. Apparently, Omarosa and Claudia are former friends but have been a bit of enemies for a while, with Claudia claiming she felt Omarosa had stabbed her in the back on the Celebrity Apprentice  (which shows how much know because that clearly is not a fav reality show for me.)

Omarosa was also none the less pleased when Claudia posted a picture of Omarosa laying her late fiance's, Michael Clarke Duncan's body to rest on Instagram and with Claudia calling the funeral a press opportunity. Oh.

So, allegedly the two had words or Jordan on the carpet after Omarosa overheard Claudia calling her "stupid bitch" (hey, anything with bitch is fighting words, especially for a black woman). So Momarosa( as she's sometimes called), walked up and punched Claudia in the arm.

Event security stepped in to break up the altercation, but  Claudia is said to have filed a police report, according to TMZ, as did Theresa, in which there are claims Claudia pushed the 65-year-old.

Chile bye. Sounds like ANOTHER press opportunity to me. Way to go ladies.

Check out the exclusive interview with Claudia Jordan after the incident from BallerAlert.com

 
 
Meanwhile, B. Scott, a media personality and blogger was asked to tone down her look while being the correspondent for the Style Stage for the 106 and park Pre-Show.
 
If you want to read about the entire rundown of what happened check out lovebscott.com


If you know anything about her, she is transgendered but always manages to look super fab, in my opinion. Well, somebody over at BET wasn't feeling her swag.

Scott says all of her wardrobe and such were pre-approved before the show but after interviewing AJ Calloway for her first segment, she was yanked backstage and told her wardrobe "wasn't acceptable."

She was told to pull her hair back, take off her makeup and totally change clothes. She was even already replaced by Adrienne Bailon until someone made calls and put her back on.

I didn't catch the pre-show but from the buzz of twitter and the pictures I was sure that something had been done and that she didn't seem "herself."

So imagine being contacted and approved by a sponsor for a job, who clearly knows what type of person they were dealing with and they tell you when you show up for your gig, "oh that's cute and all, but here's what WE feel comfortable with." Don't contact me then!!!!!!!!! Something about her personality prompted them to contact her in the first place and they tried to make it awkward but SOMEBODY over at BET felt uncomfortable. Tuh. No bueno BET.

BET reportedly knows they screwed up and released a written apology. Well, BET , that's cute and all, but actions CLEARLY speak louder than words.
