Diddy and Cassie breakup and the internet has a lot to say about it

According to several reports, Diddy and Cassie have allegedly called it quits!

Diddy also reportedly has a new chick in his life ... 26-year-old model, Jocelyn Chew. 

I figured marriage wasn't an option for Diddy but damn, I never thought they would break up! Cassie seems like a downass chick.

Well, neither Diddy or Cassie have confirmed the breakup news just yet but the internet is in a frenzy over this, mostly about how Cassie and Diddy were together for yearssss and never got married. 

Peep some of the Twitter reactions below:

Cassie was with Diddy 11 years........

bye.

I do not care how much money Diddy has, he been dating Cassie since I was in HS and I’m 78 now and she still in the same position lmao how you get demoted ? 😂

— goochie gang (@KiannaBanks) October 17, 2018

We go over this every few months. Look at your 20s. Look at most celeb women in their 20s. Now tell me that Cassie wasted her 20s by being in a exclusive relationship with Diddy. Please do lmao

— Island D (@MostLifeDre) October 17, 2018

Diddy has Cassie basically "on a break" so he can date other women. pic.twitter.com/mKi4ifMtCX

Y'all see what Diddy did to Cassie and you still feel safe with gifts and none of that shit in your name? Time to re-evaluate. Niggaz will pull the rug from under you fast.

— Nobleman (@WayneHarper_) October 17, 2018

Cassie:"so when are you putting a ring on it?"

Cassie and Diddy broke up? After 11 years? No ring? No baby? Girlfriend for 11 years? Yeah someone’s dying

— sweetner (@MsNjiee) October 17, 2018

So Cassie and Diddy split after 11 years of dating, and like clockwork here comes the usual commentary that HER life (not his) was wasted because their relationship never became a marriage.
In terms of marriages in Hollywood, Cassie & Diddy actually had a longer relationship

— TheGirlsLikeMe (@DoreenGLM) October 17, 2018

Cassie said marriage wasn't the goal, yeah I feel her on that part but why waste 11 years...on DIDDY?

This guy wants me to wait another year on him and he hasn't even asked me out yet like?? pic.twitter.com/CHo7SU8DTt

— Sable 💀 (@ScaryCute13) October 17, 2018

Diddy and Cassie broke up after 11 years .. and weren’t even married. Whew

— raven (@Rah_ven) October 17, 2018

Unfortunate to hear the news about Cassie and Diddy breaking up.

Not sure what her lifestyle has been like.

But, if she’s looking for a guy with a one bedroom apartment, 30 days of paid vacation, 0 investment properties, 0 jewelry, and occasionally orders takeout pic.twitter.com/AYSPcOZ3kj

— Kyle B. (@kyalbr) October 17, 2018

Cassie: “Where is this relationship going”

Diddy: pic.twitter.com/myNHq2XNMG

5 takeaways from Ella Mai's interview on 'The Breakfast Club'

Breakout superstar Ella Mai, who is known for her smash hit single "Boo'd Up," recently released her self-titled debut album after three EP releases. The 23-year-old British singer is currently making local rounds for media interviews, and of course she stopped by Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club morning show. 

During her interview earlier today, Ella discussed her debut album, how she was discovered on Instagram, her days on The X Factor, her relationship status, and much more.

Here are 5 takeaways from Ella Mai's interview with the Breakfast Club:

The 'Boo'd Up' songstress is not boo'd up

Ella Mai confirmed that she's in fact single. While talking about relationships and cheating, the singer said she has never cheated on anyone before. When asked if she's been cheated on, she said not to her knowledge. Radio host Charlamagne said to her, "when you find the right man, you'll let him cheat on you."

Ummmm okay, Charlamagne. He's a mess, lol.

Ella addressed Jacquees' "Trip Remix" controversy

Right off the back, Charlamagne asked about the Jacquees controversy. 

Ella opened up about the rumor that she had singer Jacquees‘ remix of her song “Trip” taken down after it garnered more attention than the original version.

After Jacquees’ “Quemix” had quickly become a fan favorite, it had been taken down from YouTube, and fans suspected Ella was the one who had the song pulled down. But, popular record producer DJ Mustard revealed that he was the one who made the decision to have Jacquess’ remix pulled. Ella is signed to Mustard’s label 10 Summers Records.

So, it was the label's decision, not hers.

"I thought we were done talking about this," Ella said to Charlamagne.  

Yeah, let's move on. Even I'm tired of hearing about this Jacquees thing. Next....

#PowerhouseNYC artist #EllaMai rolling through @breakfastclubam next hour so keep it locked!

A post shared by Power 105.1 (@power1051) on Oct 17, 2018 at 5:54am PDT

Ella used to be in a girl group

Ella talked about auditioning on The X Factor UK where she was in a girl group, Arize. However, the group didn't make it past the first round of auditions in front of the judges, and the ladies came to a mutual decision to disband shortly afterwards. 

Hey, everything works out for a reason, right?! Now, Ella is killing it as a solo artist!

How DJ Mustard discovered Ella on Instagram

The power of social media! 

Ella was discovered by DJ Mustard on Instagram after he saw her singing short covers of popular songs. Ella explained it was Mustard's girlfriend who first noticed her, after one of Ella's videos popped up on her Explore page. 

The singer used Instagram a couple of years ago where she uploaded numerous snippets of her singing. She said back then, all she did was record videos on her iPhone which eventually became popular on social media.

Mustard simply DM'd Ella and asked about her situation. Ella said she had no management at the time and she was working in retail so when the opportunity came for her to record music with the hitmaker, of course she was down!

Ella's alleged sex tape

Ella does NOT have a sex tape floating around online. Earlier this month, there was a video making waves on Twitter which misidentified the singer. Ella said the rumors were ridiculous and you can clearly see it wasn't her in the video. 

She actually watched the sex tape because she wanted to see why people thought it was her in the video. 

Well, like Charlamagne said, people rather believe a lie when it's more entertaining than the truth.

It’s Time to Be Brave by Author La Tasha K. Mason: 'Zana the Brave'

Ghostwriter turned author packs powerful punch with soon to be released anti-bullying children’s picture storybook

Breakthrough author, L. K. Mason, has the internet chattering about the anticipated release of her forthcoming children’s book, Zana the Brave. Since the moment she obtained a copyright on her manuscript, she’s been teasing her followers and those interested in eliminating childhood bullying about what they can expect with Zana the Brave and the launch of the website is no different. The buildup for the launch of www.zanathebrave.com boasts a sneak preview of the book, a social media contest giveaway awarding two grand prizes valuing $200 each and the story behind the story of the book’s protagonist, Zana (pronounced Zay-nuh). 

Zana the Brave is the first in a series of children’s books capturing the story of a bright little girl taking children on a journey of her courageous methods for overcoming constant teasing, ridicule, bullying and fat shaming.This first book introduces children to the series’ main character and how she came to be known as Zana the Brave. It’s rhyming sequences makes Zana’s powerful accounts detailing her experience with the rising bullying and fat shaming epidemic easy and compelling to read. 

Later books in the series will gradually familiarize children to Zana’s closest friends and members of The Brave Team.  Facing their own struggles with being accepted for who they are, The Brave Team comes together with Zana to put an end to bullying at Voltron Elementary School.

Much like the main character of her book, L. K. Mason experienced being bullied as a child.  In fact, the story borrows from her childhood. She felt it was important to write this book because she grew tired of seeing headlines of school shootings and teen suicides where in many of these cases, the root of the problem led back to bullying. Her love for writing and being gifted at it made writing this book a natural choice. She’d had the opportunity to dabble in this level of writing when she was tapped by singer and actor, Tyrese Gibson, to work alongside him and Chris Morrow on his New York Times best-selling book, Manology, co-authored with Rev Run.  Working with such an accomplished writer as Mr. Morrow and being mentored by him sparked something in her that never turned off. There is no turning back now.

The advanced Oct. 15^th launch of the website and sneak preview of the book is primarily to quench the thirst of the already rapidly growing excited fan base of Zana the Brave.  In spite of the fact that these parents, teachers, youth organization directors, children and more have only seen the book cover and read a brief synopsis of the book, they are anxious for the book’s release.  One approving Facebook user posted, “Finally someone children can relate to. We can talk to them about bullying, but when it comes to things like this, having someone that's child friendly makes it so much easier.”  This is exactly the kind of sentiment shared in a focus group of girls ages 9 through 12. The girls were instantly invested in Zana and opened up about children at their schools being bullied.  They spoke of other children their age being so sad from the bullying that they attempted suicide or were cutting themselves. This validated L. K. Mason’s declaration that children need to have this book now.  They need to know that they are not alone, and it gets better.

Chris Morrow, who also co-author of a number of other New York Times best-selling books such as The Happy Vegan, Success Through Stillness, and Super Rich with Russell Simmons as well as Take Back Your Family with Rev. Run, says of Zana the Brave after reading the manuscript, “It's real good…both universal and timeless.”  When she read Chris Morrow’s email regarding her manuscript, L. K. Mason was overjoyed because his thoughts were the exact reaction she was hoping to get from her readers.  “Having someone whose written work you deeply admire read your book and authentically enjoy it is an indescribably amazing feeling by itself.  My mission in writing this series of books is to unite people in the way that creativity organically does. I wanted Zana to be relatable and for her story to resonate with not only children but people of all ages and ethnicities for years to come.”

Nicki Minaj speaks on altercation with Cardi B, says she was humiliated: 'she built her career off sympathy and payola'

Nicki Minaj destroyed Cardi B on Beats 1’s Queen Radio show today (Sept. 10) after their altercation this past weekend at New York Fashion Week

Cardi tried to fight Nicki on the red carpet at the Harper’s Bazaar Icons party. But, Cardi didn't get very far because security held her back. A shoe was thrown, and Cardi could be heard demanding Nicki to step up, later claiming in an Instagram note that Nicki had said something about her daughter. 

Cardi was then escorted out of the event and had a bump on her head which reportedly came from security. 

Well, Nicki has now spoken out about that night and about the accusation that she talked about Cardi's daughter. 

Nicki Minaj says she never talked about Cardi's newborn

"I would never talk about anyone's child or parenting, I don't give a shit," Nicki said.

“I just want people to know that Onika Tanya Maraj has never, will never speak ill on anyone’s child. I am not a clown. That’s clown shit.”

Nicki said it's sad that someone would say that about her knowing there are people who are out there who would believe it. Nicki feels as if people look at her as "the bad guy."

And, in regards to the "fight," Nicki said she was a part of something "so mortifying and humiliating" and called the incident a "disgusting commotion."

Nicki threw even more shots and said Cardi built her career off "sympathy and payola."

Nicki exposes Cardi 

Nicki played an old clip where Cardi said "nothing is off limits."

She then pointed out the fact that Cardi has spoken badly about other people's kids, and she interviewed a mom who says Cardi once called her dead child a monkey on social media.

Nicki addressed a bunch of accusations, including Cardi claiming she tried stopping her money flow.

"It's easier to say 'Nicki Minaj stopped my bag' and people will believe it," Nicki said.

"I never tried to stop any bags!" Nicki clarified.

Nicki said Cardi literally told a male rapper not to do her video.

"Do you know what it's like to sit in your room and write raps?!" ... "you came into my culture!"

Nicki said Cardi has even called black women roaches and monkeys.

Nicki called out Offset's cheating

Nicki said Cardi needs help and she's mad at what her husband, Offset, is doing to her by cheating on her.

She called out Cardi for the strip club incident, the story of Cardi and her friends allegedly fighting strippers who supposedly slept with Offset, and said Cardi needs to be mad at her man not with the women.

"Take it up with HIM!" Nicki yelled out. Nicki also clarified she has no beef with Offset but says there are hurt women out there "running wild" ... like Cardi.

Chileeeeeeeeeee!

This lady exposing #CardiB and said Cardi called her dead child a monkey, LAWD!

'Bad Girls Club' star Danielle Victor wants the same support Geoffrey Owens is getting, calls on Nicki Minaj and Tyler Perry for help

Danielle Victor "Dani" who is known as one half of the Victor Twins on season 8 of Bad Girls Club, recently posted a video on her Instagram page (which has since been deleted) where she wants to know why she isn't getting the same support as Cosby Show star Geoffrey Owens.

A photo of Geoffrey recently went viral after he was spotted working at a Trader Joe's. 

The 30-year-old reality star has posted a number of times on social media that she's broke and in need of a job since her reality show days on BGC have come to an end. There have even been fundraisers to help her pay her rent. And, she's looking for the same support and opportunities that Geoffrey is getting. 

"Let them know I need help too," Dani wrote in her Instagram caption.

Nicki Minaj recently pledged to give $25,000 to Geoffrey and Tyler Perry offered the actor a job on one of his shows. Dani thinks she deserves the same opportunities.
