Fun Fact: At one point, I wanted to be a radio personality.
Okay, a lot of you ask me questions about the happenings in the entertainment world, and it's not something I want to start doing, because I feel like it's gossip, but I'll amuse you this time. Let's do a quick run-down.
Drake and Joe Buddens:
Now I don’t know all the details of this issue, but apparently Drake release a new album and Joe Buddens said on his podcast that he was not a fan of the new album and now other people are chiming in against Joey over it, including Drake's father. So, I did some research because here's the thing the newer generation of thinking seems to miss the beat on is DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Meaning, just don't take everything at face value, and just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's all true. And stop jumping on the bandwagon of drama all to be part of a trend.
I never listened to Joe's podcast before doing my research, and I'm also not a huge Drake fan. There’s nothing wrong with his music. He's just not someone I automatically think to add to my playlist. When I listened to what Joe said, he was giving his opinion of the album, he wasn't saying anything demeaning about Drake, he was just pointing out that this was not his best work.
Here's my 2 cents:
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Joey did not express that he wasn't a fan of Drake, as a matter of fact, I came across other recordings where Joe praises Drake's talent. So what is the problem with someone voicing something they don't like and grown men getting offended by it? Also, Joe Budden's podcast is about discussing music and entertainment, so he's doing his job. So I get that Drake and his support crew may love everything he does, it doesn't mean everyone will like it too. And if his supporters are upset with someone not liking his album, are they also upset with people not even listening to his music?
Marques Houston:
So Mr. Houston raised eyebrows not too long ago when he married his extremely young girlfriend, like not even of legal age to drink, that’s how young she was when they got married. For those who are not familiar with Marques Houston, he was part of the musical trio called Immature. They are like B2Ks big brothers, literally. Marques caused an uproar when he made comments about not being attracted to older women because they have too much baggage and kids. He also said that his dad is the one that told him to be with a woman who doesn't already have kids so he can start fresh with his own family.
Here's my 2 cents:
Marques is in his early 40s while his wife is in her early 20s. There's a little bit of scrutiny about what age she was when he started dating her, but I don't want to focus on that because many of you have very strong opinions about older men grooming younger women and I'm just going to let you guys take issue on that in your own time. Yes, he is much older than his wife, but let's also look at this. He's not been married before or has other children, he took interest in a woman and decided he wanted to marry her and have a family with her. I don't ever remember him going through a trail of women in his hayday, but maybe I didn't pay much attention, but I don't recall Marques being a part of any big scandals. He may have some internal issues with finding attraction with a woman half his age, but he's not like other men who are dating a women for many years without a marriage in sight, or go through a plethora of young girls to keep him feeling young. Plus, he openly shares how much he loves his wife and family. Will they last forever? Well, you know my thoughts about things lasting forever, but this is the path Marques decided to take and he seems to be standing by it. At least he's not playing the fence with this relationship.

I don’t indulged in it.
Speaking of forever not lasting, have you heard the news about Jeanie Mai and Jeezy? I remember seeing the headline that he filed for divorce and my instant thought was that she was either too public about their personal life or her family was too involved in their marriage and from more reports coming out, I wasn't completely wrong. Apparently, Jeezy's reason for wanting the divorce was due to a difference of family values. He wants to live a private life while she is very active on social media sharing a lot about their family and things they do. Although, this is all speculation, we really don't know what's been going on in their marriage. But I do agree a marriage is sacred and should be private from the public eye even the great parts. I believe that only a select few people should know certain things about your marriage but even then they don't need to know everything or be too involved in it. I wish them both the best.
Travis and Taylor:
So rumors have been going around about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift dating. She's been showing up at his games, even sitting with his mom and he seems to not deny a romance with her. I know Taylor is a big name so for those who don't know who Travis Kelce is, he's a football player for the Kansas City Chiefs, the very team who beat my Eagles in the last superbowl and Travis is also the younger brother to Jason Kelce whose an Eagles player. Taylor has said that she’s an Eagles' fan being from Pennsylvania herself. So I am not entirely taking issue with their relationship, I rather like it, but I just don't like how the NFL and social media making such a big deal of it. Although, Taylor does bring a new audience to take interest in football, so that is a big revenue for the league, I just can do without it being a topic every time football is on. Will this relationship last? I really have no opinion on it. They seem to be having fun and I like how supportive Taylor looks to be and Travis appears to like her presence at the games, I think that's really cute.
Lenny Kravitz:
But let's jump from cute to OMG! Let me talk about Lenny Kravitz for a moment. I've always had a thing for that man. He just has this really cool and suave rock and roll demeanor about him. Like he is the epitome of sexuality. Check out his new music video. This is an almost 60 year old man! Many times when I see artists perform with their shirts off I'm always like, "Sir, please put your clothes back on." I just don’t find that appealing. Even with the every day men who keep their bodies in shape, but with Kravitz, he can keep all his clothes off. I don't know what it is, he just has this weird affect on me. I feel like he's the kind of man who'll tell me to shut up and demand me to take my clothes off or he just rips them off of me. And I would just comply. I love a man who has command presence. But hey, I could be wrong, he may be very gentle and accommodating and a very sensual lover and I don't mind that either. Lenny could walk up to me and say, "Let’s go, I'm keeping you for the next few days." And I'd follow right behind him, no questions asked. It's something about his style, his energy, his vernacular, everything just makes me weak. I don’t know, I'm talking this talk, but the reality is I'd probably be so nervous and awkward if I ever met him and I say something extremely embarrassing that he'd think to himself, "Wow, this girl is such a nerd.” But you know something, I'm not always sure if I want to meet the people I admire, because if I learn something about them that casts a negative shadow on them, I won't be able to look at the the same way and that would be really disappointing.
Alright, my loves, that's all I've got for you. Be safe everyone. 🙏🏽
