Dave East is a single man, and he wants the world to know. The Harlem rapper took to Twitter yesterday afternoon with the declaration of his relationship status, undoubtedly giving hope to his many admirers. The tweet has since been deleted, but there’s no word on whether his status has once again changed, or he just felt like the response was overwhelming.

Remember that girl Zola who had a few seconds of internet fame last year, when her insane Twitter story about strippers, pimps and overall drama went viral? Well she’s popped back up, and once again, she has people talking! This time, the controversy comes from a photo she shared on social media, where she’s openly breast-feeding her 5-month-old daughter in the middle of her former place of employment, Hooters. Some are saying that she didn’t need to do such an act for the world to see, while others say such an act shouldn’t be sexualized, and she should be able to feed her child wherever, whenever.
(Photos) Travis Scott Pledges His Support For Kid Cudi
Last night, Kid Cudi revealed in a lengthy Facebook post that he has been battling depression and suicidal thoughts, and he is checking himself into rehab. He promised fans that he’d completed his recently-delayed album already and got “all of the business stuff” out of the way before leaving, so that his team can keep releasing things while he’s gone. He aims to be out in time for his performance at Complex Con on the first weekend of November. Mental health and therapy is such an important issue, and one that’s shunned among males, particularly in the urban community, as society has bred an environment that tries to peg a man as emasculated if he’s in touch with his feelings or admits that he’s anything less than 100% strong. It’s a great thing that Cudi recognizes he needs help and is doing what he needs to do to get better, and despite the trolls who think it’s a laughing matter, the Cleveland rapper has been getting tons of support from his fans and his peers, including Travis Scott.
(Photo) Waka Flocka Responds To Gucci Mane’s Interview With Funk Flex
Last week, Gucci Mane sat down with Funk Flex for his first post-jail interview, and the topic of Waka Flocka came up. Gucci and Waka used to be really close, with Gucci even being a huge reason for Waka’s early success. However, the pair haven’t been on the same page for a while now. “I haven’t spoken to Waka in three years,” Gucci told Flex. Waka says that’s not the whole story, though.
Mary J. Blige Wants You All To “Shut The F*ck Up!”
Yesterday, Apple Music released a video in promotion of Mary J. Blige’s forthcoming show, The 411. In the clip, the legendary singer sits down with Hillary Clinton, and sings…awkwardly…about gun violence while holding Hillary’s hand. It’s a song that already exists, Bruce Springsteen’s “American Skin,” and the message is obviously on-par with the times, but between the hand-holding and fans still being scarred from the God-awful crispy chicken Burger King commercial, Mary was the target of social media’s memes and slander yesterday. However, she is NOT here to joke with y’all!
Kanye West Is Cell Phone-Less Again
Kanye West infamously didn’t have a phone for years, but got one once he started dating Kim Kardashian. Now that he’s all settled and married and stuff, apparently he doesn’t feel the need for one any longer, and he’s once again without a device.
