The couple was spotted out last night in New York City celebrating Sean Jay-Z Carter’s 48th birthday. Paps caught the couple downtown at a movie theatre that the couple had rented out for them & close friends to use in celebration of Jay-z’s birthday, and did not plan on doing too much since the rapper is currently on the 4:44 Tour.
When the film was over and everyone was taking the elevator down to exit, Jay-Z told one of his photographers to “hurry up. C’mon up- get it” urging them to take the pic before the couple exited to their car. To everyone’s surprise the couple had recreated the similar seen from back in 2014 at the MET Gala, when the famous elevator fight had occurred between Jay-Z & Beyonce’s sister, Solange, who accused Jay-Z of infidelity, which led to Beyonce making the album Lemonade, for which the the whole point of the album was to talk about her husbands cheating ways. Then Jay-Z follows up with the album 4:44, for which he apoligized for doing his wife wrong, and finally admitted to his cheating in a recent interview Sean did with The New York Times.

At the end of the day….Who likes to stay focused on the negativity from the past…2 babies later? Per Jay-Z, when Beyonce was making the album Lemonade, it was intended to be a collaboration, but instead turned into Bey’s venting album that helped to repair their marriage.

Of course the internet has been going HAM on the fact that the photo would have been different if Solange was there!

I can at least say that the couple look like the they are taking things day by day, and seems to be truly happy at the state of their relationship. Recreating the elevator incident by turning it into something funny is always a start toward the positive. Happy Birthday Jay-Z!!!

Rihanna responds to comment about the lack of trans models in her Fenty Beauty campaign stating that she does not want to use trans people as a “convenient marketing tool”.

Rihanna, responding back to a direct message from a fan who wrote “Fenty Beauty campaign is awesome, next time you record something you should invite a trans girl to the group”. Rihanna, wrote back explaining that whether or not someone is trans is none of my business and that she would not include someone as the “token trans model”.

The comment did come from a fan of Rihanna’s who had sent a message to her Twitter account suggesting that Rihanna should be hiring trans women to show off her popular line of beauty products. To the fans surprise Rihanna sent back a nice, lengthy and thoughtful response. Rihanna explained why she does not have those type of castings which are specifically looking for that type of person due to sexuality or race.

“Ive had the pleasure of working with many gifted trans women throughout the years, but I don’t go around doing trans casting! Just like I don’t do straight non trans women castings!”

“Too often do I see companies doing this to trans and black women alike! There’s always just that one spot in the campaign for the token “we look mad diverse” girl/guy! Its sad!”

Rihanna’s fans actually appreciated her response to the fan’s question. Forme, I just never understand the reasoning as to why in this world we have to label everything? Instead of saying yes we used a transexual model, it sould be yes, we used this model because of whatever the casting called for. I also agree with Rihanna, when she states that “It’s personal and some trans women are more comfortable about being open about it than others so I have to respect that as a women myself!”

At the end of the day everyone wants to be able to live their own life without being judged on sex and/or race. The point that I am taking from Rihanna is that her beauty line is being marketed to anyone regardless of who you are. If you love Fenty Beauty, Rihanna loves you too!

I got the pleasure to check out this nice EP from Cleveland’s own Megadon216 called “The Edgewater EP”. Edgewater,which is the name of one of the parks that is situated by Lake Erie here in Cleveland, OH. The EP, is representing an alternative brand of Hip Hop called “Surf-Hop” and is based off Megadon’s alternative ideology “The Seven Laws of Surf Hop”.

Starting off with the intro song, Pantheon Intro, which catches your attention as soon as the base drops, which creates an anxious feeling to make you want to hear more. Megadon216 who states that he wants to “Be where the champions be” sets a tone expectation to see what will Mega deliver next! “Can’t Stop This Wave” that is produced by Blair Neff is a song that is a radio hit! I found myself playing it back to back LOL On the song “Gnarley” I truly love the hook on this single that is produced by Melrose Zee. Thhe song with a feature including a singer named, Esther Fitz, whose voice I have already fell in love with for her voice is something different than the norm!

Overall, I truly loved the vibe of this EP! I like how everything is composed & even though, Megadon216 is a lyrical artist, he made sure to keep listeners riding the wave he has created from, beginning to the end with the goal of being the best! Megandon216 made sure to shout some people out on the single “Show My Love” including 216 The Beat’s own Cream of the Crop!!! Here’s the track listing of the EP:

1.) Pantheon Intro (Prod. By JRock Beats)
2.) Can’t Stop This Wave (Prod. By Blair Nerf)
3) Gnarly (Prod. By Melrose Zee)
4) Like You Ft. Esther Fitz (Prod. By E Haynes)
