Apparently, Rihanna has Beyoncé to thank for kickstarting her career, although it came at the expense of another talented rising star, Teairra Mari. When I signed Rihanna, we held a showcase featuring both artists. At the time, I was paying more attention to Teairra than to Rihanna. After the showcase, Beyoncé made her preference clear…

There are claims that Tyra Banks isn’t married because of her reportedly narcissistic attitude, which has been noticeable over the years, especially on “America’s Next Top Model.” I remember coming home from school just to watch the show, where Tyra would talk about how being different is beautiful and how imperfections make you unique. Throughout…

Quick question: if you were making a list of singers with the best voices, would Jennifer Lopez be on it? If your answer is a hard no, you’re definitely not alone. When it comes to singing, it’s not like with JLo where everything is put together by a team. We’re talking about genuine, raw talent….

The album never actually got released, and eventually, I had a nervous breakdown. Ever wondered what happened to Lil Jerome, that young recording artist who was with Diddy? It seems like if you choose to work with Diddy, your chances of success aren’t great—or worse. Look at the people he’s worked with in the music…

“Cheetos? I don’t want any Cheetos. Well, I wasn’t, so I cried.” We’ve all heard stories of addiction dragging celebrities from grace to disgrace, but few are as heartbreaking as Maia Campbell’s. “Come get your knees, bro. Your knees develop, Ariel.” Back in the day, Maia Campbell was truly something special. She landed her first…

Hey, let me ask you something. Do you really think Gabrielle Union would let her own child transition at 12? People are talking about how she encouraged her stepdaughter, Dwayne Wade’s daughter Zaya, to transition at such a young age. Some are even saying her motives might have been questionable, especially since Zaya’s birth mother,…

Hey, honey, I’m not sure if you know this, but apparently, if there’s one family that can’t stand Oprah Winfrey, it’s the Jacksons. And I’m talking about the entire family, including Janet Jackson, supposedly. The big issue Janet and the rest of the family have with Oprah is how she treated Michael Jackson and helped…

Do you remember when TLC and Rihanna were feuding because TLC supposedly criticized Rihanna for always being naked, while they claimed to have become the biggest-selling girl group by keeping their clothes on? TLC later said their words were taken out of context, but it seems they still haven’t gotten over how Rihanna reacted. They…

It was a year and a half of crying myself to sleep every night. You know, nobody sees that. Yeah, nobody sees that. You know, like, you live five minutes away from your babies, you know what I’m saying? Because people who know Cory Hardrict know that his kids and his family were everything to…

I didn’t overshare. The thing is, I wouldn’t say anything about someone else that I wouldn’t say about myself, so I didn’t think it was a big deal. When I called her to tell her, she said, “I don’t know why people are acting like diarrhea is unusual. Sometimes people have it.” She wasn’t upset…
