Terry Crews’ wife, Rebecca Crews, is officially cancer-free following her double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, after she was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer only a few weeks ago. Rebecca became extra pre-cautious about her health after her mother had a cancerous lump removed last year, especially since she herself had had a small, pre-cancerous lump removed from her right breast twelve years ago. Unfortunately, following her most recent doctor’s visit a few weeks ago, Rebecca was told she had stage 1 breast cancer. “Though it was Stage 1, you’re overwhelmed with fear,” Rebecca revealed. “Like cancer is this all-consuming, all-powerful evil entity.” However, she had high hopes for her recovery, and remained optimistic. “After the call, I had this clear vision of myself stepping through a door, and on the other side of this door, the sun was shining brightly and I was very happy,” she recalled. “I just had this sense that I was going to be OK.”

However, her husband, Terry, was much more panicked. “My husband has watched me go through a lot, but the look on his face…he looked at me like I was going to die,” she explained. “He told me it felt like his insides were melting. I said, ‘I need you to be strong for me,’ and he said, ‘OK,’ and hugged me, but I think he needed that hug.”

She proceeded to undergo a double mastectomy on March 3rd, and because of this choice, she will not have to go through radiation treatment. While Rebecca is officially cancer-free, she did express concerns about going through recovery amid the coronavirus pandemic. Because her immune system is compromised as a result of her recent health problems, she was anxious about attending her follow-up doctor’s appointments. She also noted how many of the expected side effects in a post-mastectomy patient could be confused for symptoms of coronavirus. “I’ve been so nervous, too, because a couple times I’ve woken up in the middle of the night with trouble breathing and thought, ‘Oh no,'” she confessed.

However, Terry has been nothing but supportive of his wife of 30 years. “I have to give him his props because he’s been cooking for me, helping me bathe, and just really stepping up,” she said. “I tease him all the time, I’m like, Did I have to get cancer to be treated like this?!’”

11-year-old Elijah had the chance to meet three of his favorite artists before passing away this week. Elijah’s mother, Kiara Swope, also shared photos of her son speaking to Drake on Facetime as well as a video of 2018 Nascar Cup Driver Joey Logano who said that he wanted to visit Elijah in person but wasn’t able to travel due to social distancing. “Just want to say a huge Thank you to @realcoleworld @theweeknd @champagnepapi & @joeylogano for showing my baby some love these last difficult days of his life. I truly appreciate you all. #elijahstrong #fuckchildhoodcancer,” she wrote.

Elijah’s cousin, Michael Watson II, shared a video of Elijah speaking to J. Cole and The Weeknd, both of whom applauded him for his courage. “Over the past 3 years, my 11 y.o. cousin, Elijah, has battled cancer with the utmost resilience,” Watson wrote. “Elijah’s physical fight is now complete, as he transitioned to heaven on Friday. He didn’t leave this world without knowing how much he was loved though. Last weekend, Elijah got to “meet” 3 of his favorite artists — The Weeknd, J. Cole, & Drake. Incredibly grateful for these 3 super-humans being so caring for my family during this time.”

He added, “Please lift Kiara, Elijah’s mom, and the rest of the fam up in your thoughts & prayers. In a time where there seems like so much is out of our control, one thing that we all have the power to give + show others is LOVE.”

Our thoughts and prayers are with Elijah’s family. R.I.P. 

As the world continues to pray for Slick Woods’s recovery, the top model has been lavishing in the love of a lady friend. It was two days ago when Slick shared a selfie on Instagram that showed her with a swollen lip. “Man another seizure f*ck the bulls*ht I’m going vegan #faceplant,” she wrote in the caption. The model was diagnosed with cancer, now in its third stage, and has been undergoing chemotherapy. Slick has also been sharing updates with her fans throughout her journey.

Viewers were surprised to see Slick Woods on the last season of Love & Hip Hop Hollywood alongside her then-boyfriend, Micky Munday. The rapper and Slick were reportedly living together with their children at one point, but it’s now clear that they’ve decided to part ways. Over the last two days, Slick has been sharing photos of herself and her female companion—but this may be a former lover of the past that has rekindled romance. 

“Me n my bby against the world,” Slick captioned one photo. In another of Slick’s girlfriend kissing her on the cheek, the model wrote, “Bby talk to me nice.” In a third, “Love you like cooked food.” When a fan asked about what happened to Micky, Slick reportedly said, “Our relationship expired.” Check out the photos below.

Diddy has finally fulfilled the kids from Fighting All Monsters’ wishes that he dance with them to his song, “Bad Boy For Life,” after a video of these kids fighting cancer went viral. At the beginning of the year, tons of kids from Fighting All Monsters (FAM), a non-profit organization that strives to fight childhood cancer, took part in a viral video in which they asked Diddy to dance with them to “Bad Boy For Life.” Diddy’s 2001 track, which features Black Rob and Mark Curry, has been an anthem for these brave children ever since FAM was founded by Milk Tyson in December 2018. Tyson has explained that the song’s lyrics and spirit resonate with the kids and their parents because, “every day we meet these health challenges with a determination that says no matter what happens to us, ‘we ain’t goin’ nowhere…we are here for life!'”

Diddy responded, exclaiming that he was “so inspired” by the viral video. “These kids are so strong and I’m humbled they’ve found strength in one of my songs,” he wrote. “They are fearless and motivating me like nothing before.⁣ And of course I’ll dance with all of you! Every time I’m feeling my energy shift I get up and dance. Keeps my vibrations high!⁣ I’ll dance with y’all everyday! Never stop believing… and remember WE AIN’T GOING NOWHERE!!!!” Now, Diddy finally got the opportunity to dance with them for real, as he surprised eight of the FAM kids on an episode of Ellen that aired on Thursday.

Before she brought Diddy out, Ellen asked the kids, whose names are Layla Mosely, Ke’Yair Stephens, Zoey Nieves, Imani Hollis, Phillip Escalante, Maddie Kelsoe, Will Walker and Baylee Hankins, why they picked his song as their anthem. Will mirrored FAM’s founder’s words, indicating that the song’s lyrics and message about surviving and fighting resonated with them. At first, Ellen told them that Diddy was unfortunately on tour in Miami and couldn’t be there, but then “realized” she “got the dates wrong” and brought him out to surprise them.

Diddy hugged all eight of them before they took their seats, where he thanked them for reaching out. “I was so touched that this song that has helped me get through so many trials and tribulations is fuelling you guys to know the power you have in yourself, to believe that we ain’t going nowhere,” he told them. Ellen then revealed that Shutterfly had donated $25,000 to the Fighting All Monsters organization, before the children finally got their chance to dance with Diddy. The whole thing just might make you shed a tear.

Face tattoos are common in today’s culture, especially in hip hop. Yet, when Amber Rose revealed her “Bash & Slash” forehead tattoo in honor of her children Sebastian and Slash Electric, people criticized the mom for somehow destroying her beauty. She took to her Instagram page to address her critics, writing, “For the people that are telling me I’m too pretty for a face tat are the same people that would tell me that I’m ‘too pretty’ even if they thought I was ugly and lie to me lol or they would just tell me I’m ugly.”

On Wednesday (February 12), Amber visited Fox Soul‘s series One on One with Keyshia Cole. While there, Amber revealed that the death of basketball icon Kobe Bryant inspired her to get her latest ink. “You know, I gotta be honest,” Amber began. “I don’t want this to sound like, corny or anything, but after Kobe died it made me reflect on my life. I don’t people to be like, ‘Oh Kobe died so you went and got a tattoo?‘ But, it was kinda like that because I thought about my dad and my dad had cancer when he was 40. He went through remission and he’s good, but he almost died. I’m 36. And I was like, I’ve been wanting this tattoo for a long time and I was like, you know what? Life is so short. Just do it. Just live your best life. With no regrets. Just do it.” Watch her clip below.

What originally started as a four-piece hardcore punk band known as the Young Aborigines morphed into a three-man hip-hop group that would claim their legendary status in the music industry years later as the Beastie Boys. Now, Apple TV+ has revealed the first-ever trailer for the upcoming documentary starring Michael “Mike D” Diamond, Adam “MCA” Yauch, and Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz entitled the Beastie Boys Story (2020).

In the documentary, surviving members, Mike Diamond and Adam Horovitz will narrate the world-renowned hip-hop group’s journey over the course of their four-decade friendship and business relationship. The documentary directed by Spike Jonze is also responsible for directing the following music videos for the Beastie Boys; “Time for Livin’,” “Sabotage,” “Ricky’s Theme,” “Sure Shot,” the second version of “Root Down,” and “Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win.”

If it wasn’t for the Beastie Boys’ willingness to experiment with hip-hop and create “Cookie Puss,” the three-man collective most likely wouldn’t have sold 50 million albums worldwide. From 1986 to 2004, the “Intergalactic” rappers curated seven platinum-selling albums making them one of the longest-lived hip-hop collectives in mainstream music. In 2012, the Beastie Boys became the third hip-hop act in history to be inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 

Unfortunately,on May 4, 2012, group member Adam “MCA” Yauch passed away from cancer at the age of 47-years-old, which eventually led to the disbandment of the iconic hip-hop group. Since then, Mike Diamond and Adam Horovitz have kept the brand’s name alive curating sneakers, books, and more. 

The Beastie Boys Story is set to premiere on Apple TV+ on April 24. Check out the trailer below. 

Their energetic videos have gone viral, but a group of children battling pediatric cancer had high hopes that they would capture Sean Love Combs's attention. The kids from Fighting All Monsters, a non-profit organization out of Miami, Florida, recently went viral as they danced to Diddy's "Bad Boy For Life," a classic single that also features Black Rob and Mark Curry. The track is from Diddy's third studio album The Saga Continues.... and was made to solidify Bad Boy Records' permanent place in the industry.

Even Snoop Dogg made an appearance with the darlings from Fighting All Monsters, and the kids were keen to get Diddy involved. The organization aids families of children battling cancer and "Bad Boy for Life" is their "unofficial anthem" as the lyrics say, "We ain't goin' nowhere / We ain't, goin' nowhere / We can't be stopped now / 'Cause it's Bad Boys for life."

The group's aim is to bring awareness to pediatric cancer, so why not target the man responsible for their theme song. Statistics reportedly show that 43 kids a day are diagnosed with cancer and only a small fraction of the donations for cancer are allocated for children. Diddy shared a news report of the kids jamming to his 2001 hit and he decided to take action.

"WOW! I’M SO INSPIRED BY THIS," he wrote on Instagram on Thursday (January 23). "These kids are so strong and I’m humbled they’ve found strength in one of my songs. They are fearless and motivating me like nothing before.⁣ And of course I’ll dance with all of you! Every time I’m feeling my energy shift I get up and dance. Keeps my vibrations high!⁣ I’ll dance with y’all everyday! Never stop believing... and remember WE AIN’T GOING NOWHERE!!!!"

TMZ reports that since Diddy shared their video with his 16 million Instagram followers, the organization has been overwhelmed with support. One person donated $21K worth of iPads and an executive from Apple reportedly reached out inquiring about how the company could help. Another person gave the organization tickets to the Super Bowl in Miami for two of the children, while others have reached out to volunteer.

Diddy, himself, is apparently putting together something unique and special for the Fighting All Monsters crew, so keep an eye out for that. Check out their report below.

FAM (Fighting All Monsters), an organization that strives to fight childhood cancer, has gathered together some of the children that they have helped for one simple mission: to ask Diddy to dance with them to celebrate the new year. A compilation video features various clips of a different kids suffering from the terrible disease holding up signs and showing off their moves in their quest to get Diddy to dance with them.

Why Diddy, you may ask? Well, his song "Bad Boy For Life" has been the theme song for the organization since its inception last December. Its founder, Milk Tyson, a celebrity socialite known for his medical marijuana company, chose the song because he felt that the lyrics and message behind it represent his mission. "FAM has used Bad Boy for Life as our theme song since day 1, and all the families have got accustomed to the song. Bad Boy For Life is our song because every day we meet these health challenges with a determination that says no matter what happens to us, 'we ain’t goin’ nowhere...we are here for life!'" The kids, their families, and the organization all admire Diddy, as well, and look to him as an inspiration. "Puff is our spirit animal because he 'can’t stop, won’t stop!' Puffy puts family first, and has the reach and aggressiveness to give childhood cancer a bigger stage," said Tyson.

With her shaved head and gapped teeth, Slick Woods’ unique look made her into one of the world’s favorite models. When she walked the runway for Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty show last year, Woods was in the final stages of her pregnancy, rushing straight to the hospital after she went into labor backstage. Until her third trimester, the model didn’t even have a clue she was pregnant. She and her boyfriend Micky Munday are starring on Love & Hip Hop and there’s a chance her recent health struggles will be featured on the upcoming season of the Hollywood iteration. Woods revealed several months ago that she was diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma, undergoing chemotherapy to prevent the disease from spreading. Closing out the new year, the 23-year-old has officially given us all an update on how she’s doing, playing around in her wheelchair and issuing a statement.

Dressed in an oversized jean jacket and some designer sneakers, Slick Woods looked incredible with her glowing smile, updating her followers on the status of her recovery. “Legs numb left hand still numb I hate bullshit and the London gave me a wheelchair,” she wrote as her caption.

The video earned comments from Cardi B, La La Anthony, Taraji P. Henson, Lil Yachty, and more stars who are all praying for Slick to get well soon. She looks to be in very good spirits. Continue sending love and light her way.
