Amanda Seales feels that there are more important things to worry about right now than whether or not she's had issues with her former co-hosts on The Real, but she'll address these rumours anyway just to get it out of the way. On Tuesday (June 2nd), Amanda announced that she had decided not to renew her contract for the daytime talk show, and explained that she didn't feel like she had been able to use her voice in the way she wanted.

"It doesn’t feel good to my soul to be at a place where I can not speak to my people the way they need to be spoken to," she noted. "I’m not at a space where as a full black woman, I can have my voice and my co-workers also have their voices and where the people at the top are not respecting the necessity for black voices to be at the top too."

While the issue appeared to largely be with the higher-ups at the network, many began speculating that Amanda might have been having some problems with her fellow co-hosts, in particular Loni Love. Fans noticed that the Instagram account for The Real, as well as Loni's personal account, had supposedly unfollowed Amanda, and that she had unfollowed Loni back.
However, Amanda completely shut down these rumours, and called out everyone who was focused on imaginary drama between The Real ladies instead of on what's going on outside in the process.
“Do not try to create some false descension between me and the cohosts of ‘The Real,'" Amanda demanded. "Y’all so f*ckin’ corny. There is a whole pandemic and an uprising going on, and you still can’t find sh*t else to do? You try to create some conflict that doesn’t exist? I did not unfollow Loni Love. I haven't unfollowed anybody! Shout out to Jeannie, shout out to Tams, shout out to Loni Love, and shout out to Adrienne."
"What y'all don’t understand is grown women do grown women business, that’s what y’all don’t understand," she continued. "And what I do with my business ain’t got nothing to do with them sistas. Y’all need to have a good day and get your minds focused on what we need to do to make this a good world." Well there you have it. It looks like all Amanda wants is for everyone to redirect their energy towards doing something productive.

B.o.B revealed that he’s currently working on three separate albums, one of which may be a joint project with past collaborator, T.I.
B.o.B has a handful of new projects in the works, which may include a joint album with T.I. Last Friday (May 15th), the rapper hopped on XXL‘s Moments of Clarity podcast to discuss what’s been up to in quarantine, including working on a ton of new music. Along with a joint project with Sonny Digital and a solo album titled Somnia, B.o.B hinted at his potential plans to put out a collaborative album with T.I.
“I’m making like three albums at the same time,” he said around the 2:00 mark. “I’m working on a project—me and Sonny Digital working on an album. I just finished my album, Somnia. I just—there’s rumours me and T.I. might be working on an album. I don’t know man. I’m working on a lot of sh*t.”

Later on in the conversation (1:05:00), B.o.B elaborates on his forthcoming music. “I’m working on a project with Sonny Digital, like a duo project,” he repeats. “I also just finished…my most recent album, Somnia, I just completed that…Music is on the way. Somnia‘s on the way. B.o.B x Sonny Digital’s on the way—Bobby Digital. And I got a couple more shits up my sleeve. But I got a lot of music though, a lot of music coming.”

If a collaborative album does pan out with T.I., it would mark the rappers first joint effort together. However, the two of them have linked up in the past on tracks such as “Chosen,” “We Still in This B*tch,” “Problems” and more.
Do you want to see these two join forces on a project?
Playboi Carti Buys $400K Family-Friendly Rolls-Royce Amid Baby Rumours
Playboi Carti dropped $400k on a family-friendly Rolls-Royce SUV, furthering speculation that he and girlfriend Iggy Azalea did in fact welcome a baby last week.
Although Playboi Carti and Iggy Azalea have yet to confirm whether they recently became new parents after rumours circulated last week that the couple had welcomed their first child, Carti’s recent automotive purchase feels like a pretty big hint. According to TMZ, Carti dropped $400,000 on one of the most luxurious family-friendly rides out there: a 2020 Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV. The rapper made the pricey purchase from celebrity car broker RD Whittington’s company, Wires Only, and paid an additional $10,000 rush shipping fee to have it delivered to his home in Atlanta ASAP.
Carti reportedly had certain upgrades added such as a set of two leather seats and cocktail table that emerge from the luggage department at the touch of a button. The car also includes a tilting and retractable sunroof and fold-down TV screens. Check out more photos of the opulent whip here.

TMZ reported that Carti had specifically requested a larger vehicle in which he could safely install a baby car seat. While nothing is for certain, this would be a pretty odd request if he and Iggy hadn’t just welcomed a child. Only time will tell if this rap couple really do have a little one calling them “Mom” and “Dad” now.
Ari Fletcher Encourages Women To Get Work Done: "Buy The Body You Want"
Ari Fletcher encouraged her female followers to "buy the body you want," claiming, "I never said I didn't have surgery" despite insisting she was "homegrown."
Ari Fletcher decided to encourage her female followers to get work done if they want to, which led folks to point out how she has seemingly claimed to be all natural in the past. On Saturday, Ari took to Twitter to deliver her words of encouragement.
It’s 2020 get you some surgery sis, don’t let these people discourage you," she tweeted. "BUY THE BODY YOU WANT!!!" While this statement likely drew ire from those opposed to the practice of plastic surgery, it moreso caused confusion. Folks pointed out how Ari had always claimed to have a "homegrown" booty despite others' insistence that she'd had work done, but Ari set the record straight once and for all.
"I NEVER said I didn’t have surgery," she proclaimed. "I said my ass is real. And I’m going for new titties again as soon as they open." One user then replied saying that, while Ari does look good, "a fat transfer is not real sis." Ari clapped back, presuming that this woman was just "jealous" of her natural butt.
"Y’all be so tight," Ari responded. "Ain’t no fat transferred back here. Stop being jealous, that’s so ugly!!!" She continued to address the situation by insisting that she does not alter her body to impress men.
Travis Scott In-Game Fortnite Concert Might Be Happening Soon
A Travis Scott in-game concert might be happening on Fortnite, according to some new leaks.
Fortnite gamers could be getting blessed with an in-game musical performance by Travis Scott in the near future, as evidence has been gathered from some leaks found within the world of the battle royale island. While it has yet to be officially confirmed or announced, it looks like Fortnite is might have plans to follow up their 2019 Marshmello concert with another in-game performance from the Astroworld rapper himself. Tons of hints have been collected from an amalgamation of mined files, including some posters found within the game depicting a planet orbiting above the Fortnite map, with a music symbol in the middle.
While this clue could point to a number of different space-enthused artists, it definitely seems to be indicating that a concert is in the works. Further, a new "planet texture" has been discovered, depicting a bright pinkish-purple bubble-like fixture featuring carnival images that many think is meant to be "Astroworld." What's more is that, when hovered over, the planet plays an audio file. The audio in question? "Highest in the Room" by Travis Scott.
This is not the first time Travis Scott Fortnite content has been rumoured to be in the works. As pointed out by GameRant, "files related to a Travis Scott cosmetic set, as well as a photo of a Travis Scott skin, were both leaked in February and March, respectively."
Boris Kodjoe Calls Rumours About Wife Nicole Cheating On Him "Bullsh*t"
Boris Kodjoe shut down the rumours that his wife, Nicole Ari Parker, is cheating on him after she seemingly alluded to it during an IG live stream.
Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Ari Parker are doing just fine according to the actor, who took to Instagram to address the rumours that his wife is cheating on him because of some remarks she made on Instagram live. Boris and Nicole have been wed for almost 15 years, so it’s safe to say that they might know a thing or two about marriage. The actor couple appeared on Chris and Vanessa Spencer’s Instagram live show, Date Night, this week to talk about their experiences and give advice to other married couples. During their chat, Nicole mentioned that she flirts with other men to boost her excitement for sex, and even confessed that she sometimes wishes she and Boris were still in the early stages of their relationship.
“Sometime in the last year or so I thought, ‘I wish that he was my boyfriend again,'” she admitted. “I don’t necessarily want to be single, but I miss the single life. I miss the text messages for no reason. I miss the coming up behind me when I’m scrambling eggs and just kissing me on the back of the neck.” Nicole’s comments immediately sparked cheating rumours, with people speculating that the two of them might be having some problems. Some viewers even thought that Boris looked visibly uncomfortable while Nicole was speaking, but he’s since come forward to shut down all of these absurd claims.
“When you can’t believe all the #QuarantineCrazy chitchat. Come on y’all, really?!” Boris wrote on an Instagram post of his Bitmoji face-palming over top of a screenshot from the IG live episode. “Ok first of all, you’re chomping on a short clickbait 1min slice of a HILARIOUS HOUR LONG conversation on our best friends’ new show. Second of all this part was meant to give hope to those of us who’ve been together a LONGA$$Time #RealTalk. And third of all, my wife was right!#boyfriendgirlfriendtimematters.” He proceeded to type out a series of inspirational hashtags before telling his followers, “don’t tag me in anymore of this #BullSh@&$. I’ll be over here kissing the back of @nicoleariparker’s neck for no reason.” Looks like thing are all good over here.
Lil Baby Denies Rumours That His Crew Jumped Offset
Lil Baby addressed the rumours that his crew, 4PF, jumped his fellow Quality Control artist, Offset, calling the claims "fake news."
Lil Baby has confirmed that his crew, 4PF, absolutely did not jump his fellow Quality Control artist, Offset, calling the reports "fake news." Rumours began spreading this week that Lil Baby's squad, 4PF, a term coined by the artist that stands for "4 Pockets Full," and the Migos rapper got into a bit of a scuffle, which allegedly ended with Offset in his underwear.
According to one Instagram blog, sources were claiming that "Offset and Lil Baby crew allegedly got into a fight" and that "4PF stripped Offset of everything but his boxers and just left him there." While there's no video proof of the incident occurring, it was reportedly discovered that Offset did in fact unfollow Lil Baby and 4PF on Instagram and remove promo posts for the artist on his account.
However, it looks like these rumours have no truth to them. Lil Baby took it upon himself to set the record straight by flat out denying the claims. He commented on the IG post that reported the alleged brawl, writing, "That's cappppppoo." He also took to his Instagram stories to further address the situation, urging the media to stop reporting falsities.

"Stop spreading fake news!!" he wrote. "That sh*t fake!! Please!!" Offset has yet to address the rumours, but maybe he's just been too busy making his acting debut this week.
JT Snaps At Fan Who Asked If She’s Dating QC’s Pierre Thomas
City Girls member JT clapped back at a fan for asking if she was dating her Quality Control Music boss, Pierre “Pee” Thomas.
JT invited fans to ask her anything for a Q&A session on her Instagram, but apparently that did not include anything that might imply that she’s dating her boss, Pierre “Pee” Thomas. On Tuesday, the City Girl shared a post asking fans to send her questions for her to answer in a Q&A video on Thursday. “Ask me whatever without being blocked I’m gonna pick the best questions & answer them on video Thursday!” she instructed. “Take advantage.”
Plenty of users flooded the comments with their most desperate inquiries, including JT’s other half, Yung Miami, who asked her, “What are you most excited about? Are you nervous? What are you looking forward to the most?” However, it looks like one fan hit a nerve with JT, after asking about the status of her relationship with Pierre “Pee” Thomas, the CEO of Quality Control Music where the City Girls are signed. “Please don’t feel no type of way about me asking this question,” the fan wrote, “but all you post is Pierre and I’m getting vibes like that’s your new boo.”
“I’m here for it because I Fuxk with you I love you @thegirljt,” they continued. “Are you two in a relationship?” JT made the answer to this question very clear, but still let the fan know that she’ll be addressing the topic in the Q&A video. “Girl I can’t wait til Thursday for YOU you asked me this 10 mutha f*ckin times & the answer is HELL NO!” JT exclaimed. “I don’t know what makes you or anybody else think this but get that out your head!!!!” City Girls have been signed to Quality Control since 2017, so it makes sense that JT would want to avoid mixing business with pleasure by entering into any kind of relationship with the label’s CEO.
Nicki Minaj Responds To Pregnancy Rumours
Nicki Minaj has addressed the pregnancy rumours that started after she posted a video of her husband Kenneth Petty rubbing her stomach.
Nicki Minaj insists that she’s only “pregnant with so many ideas for this album” after fans when crazy on an Instagram video showing her husband Kenneth Petty rubbing her stomach. Pregnancy rumours have been circulating about Nicki ever since she and Kenneth went public, and after they tied the knot last October, they’ve only increased. Last week, when Nicki indicated that she and Kenneth have “a lot to celebrate,” some thought she might be referring to having a baby on the way. This assumption was only reinforced when Nicki posted a video of her and Kenneth on a plane to her home country of Trinidad, in which she makes sure to get a shot of Kenneth rubbing her stomach in the frame.

The comment section of the post was flooded with fans asking once and for all if she was pregnant. It seemed inevitable, but Nicki has responded to various inquiring people that she is not, in fact, with child.
One user asked her straight up if she was pregnant or not, to which Nicki responded, “Why I feel like I’m about to get a beating? Y’all swear y’all my mother chile. I’m pregnant with so many ideas for this album. It’ll be my best.” When another fan asked why Kenneth keeps rubbing her stomach, she explained, “Babe u gotta ask him. He rubs my feet & my stomach. Ima tell him stop rubbing my stomach tho. Cuz chile…” Though these and other responses are likely Nicki’s way of shutting down the pregnancy claims, it’s worth noting that she did not, technically, deny being pregnant. Still, if Mrs. Minaj-Petty does not wish to disclose her pregnancy status just yet, that is totally up to her.
Did Nicki Minaj Just Confirm Her Pregnancy?
Nicki Minaj’s belly-rubbing video on Instagram has everyone thinking she’s pregnant for real.
Nicki Minaj got the pregnancy rumour mill going again when she posted a video of her husband Kenneth Petty rubbing her belly. On Sunday, Ms. Minaj-Petty gave her fans a glimpse into their journey to her home country of Trinidad with some posts on Instagram, and one video in particular has the Barbz reeling. Nicki posted a sparkle-filtered clip of herself and Kenneth on the plane, which begins with a shot of Kenneth’s hand soothingly rubbing her stomach.
He can be heard saying “Trinidad” over and over, while Nicki remains silent with a smirk on her face. Only the flag of Trinidad is included in the caption, but this brief video was enough to have almost everyone in the comments presuming that Nicki was finally confirming her long-time rumoured pregnancy.

Pregnancy rumours have been circulating around this couple for what seems like forever. After Nicki and Kenneth officially tied the knot back in October, the speculation was heightened when Nicki seemingly dropped hints that she was “expecting,” but nothing ever came of it. Then, last week, the rapper shared a photo of herself and Kenneth on Instagram and wrote that they have “a lot to celebrate.” Could she be celebrating their baby on the way? Or is she just happy with where she’s at in life? Nicki has to know how much this is killing everyone, but the rapper seems committed to waiting until she’s absolutely ready to announce the good news (if, in fact, she does have a bun in the oven).
