  • Dr. Cornel West is criticizing both Tyler Perry and Lil Wayne… and here we go! “I love the brother, but he’s not going to be doing Madea when he’s 65 and 70. He’s going to grow up. I don’t condemn him, I love him and critique him. I say the same thing about Lil Wayne, tattoos and all. I have that negro… Malcolm Little, who was a gangster and a pimp, he had to grow up too.” said. Dr. West. [Urban Daily]

  • Another day, another arrest. Keyshia Cole’s mother is behind bars again. She was pulled over in Sandy Springs, GA, where she was reportedly driving “erratically.” Police inspected her vehicle and found drug related substances. [Sanda Rose]
