Stacey Dash is defending Kanye West. She wrote an opinion piece for Americanewshub and said that the rapper should not apologize for his recent tweets.
“There is nothing more racist than telling someone what to believe based on the color of their skin,” she wrote. “Hate groups organize their entire existence based on this principle.”
Dash went on to say that she can relate to the backlash. “My journey started when I changed my mind on Barack Obama and endorsed Mitt Romney in 2012,” she shared. “I didn’t expect it when the Democrats swung into full attack mode, calling me names like “coon” and “Oreo” for not supporting Obama, who I lost faith in after seeing little to no change for black people in general, but especially those at the bottom of the economic spectrum.”
“Good for Kanye West for standing up to these people,” she continued. “They don’t deserve a blank check, and the days of us writing them one during each election year are coming to a close. We are not victims or unworthy of our own opinions. We are individuals.”
She added that she’s no one’s victim. “I am off the plantation. I’m glad to see Kanye West stand up for himself,” she said. “So here’s the question: who’s the real ‘Uncle Tom’?”
SIS fanatics have revealed their latest sick method of executing prisoners - turning them into a bomb and throwing them off a building.
Shocking footage has emerged of members of the Islamic death cult using cords and wooden planks to secure the terrified captive in the Yarmouk area of Syria - which remains under ISIS control.
The captors then use a chin wedge to keep the prisoner's head upright, stuff the helmet full of explosives and fitted with an impact fuse to trigger the deadly bomb.
The man falls head first after being launched from a building. The prisoner is decapitated by the explosion.
Separate shots on the ISIS propaganda channel show the man being readied for his death and then him falling towards the rubble-strewn ground head first.
It is not known what the prisoner's 'crime' is. It may just be revenge for airstrikes by Syrian and Russian armed forced on ISIS positions.
The Islamic State is losing ground in both Syria and Iraq. The Yarmouk district is one of their last bastions and a major offensive is underway to force out the terror group that once claimed half of Iraq and Syria in 2014.
After officially branding itself ISIS in 2013, the group took advantage of the 2011 uprising against Syrian president Bashar al-Assad to spread.
As the war in Syria turned seven years old last month, ISIS was all but defeated at the hands of separate campaigns by the Russia-backed Syrian military and U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic forces.
Only small pockets of ISIS resistance remain in Iraq.
Inventor and YouTuber Simone Giertz has revealed she has a brain tumour “the size of a golf ball”.
Giertz, who has just over a million followers, said in a video posted to her channel that the tumour is non-cancerous and benign.
“For about a year, I’ve had a swollen eyelid on my right eye. Some of you even commented on it, and I always thought it was just allergies,” she said.
“But these last couple of weeks, I started having some pain in my eye and in the eye socket.”
Her doctor sent her for an MRI scan, after which she found out she has a “pretty substantial brain tumour”.
The Swedish robotics enthusiast and Shorty Award nominee said she is to undergo “extensive brain surgery” at the end of this month and will be away for some time.
“Being faced with something like this really helps put a lot of things into perspective,” she said in the video which got more than a million views within 24 hours.
“Even though this last week has been really, really tough, and I’ve been very sad, what’s crazy is that I also feel so freakin’ lucky because I have this amazing family… all these really, really great friends and an amazing team.”
Giertz thanked her viewers for supporting her on her YouTube journey, which she says has been “the best three years of her life”.
The 27-year-old, whose channel fuses robotics with comedy, joined in March 2013 and has had more than 48 million views.
She has gained recognition online for her unusual inventions, including a machine which (unsuccessfully) pours and feeds cereal, and a wake-up machine featuring a rotating mannequin hand.
Giertz’s most popular video sees her locked inside her bathroom for 48 hours in a simulation of a spaceship.
She said: “This is not a goodbye, I’m planning on becoming super healthy and being able to keep on building shitty robots.”

Plastic surgeon Jan Adams, who operated on Donda West prior to her death, has pleaded with the rapper not to use an image of his face for the cover of his new album.
The Famous singer tweeted that he would be using the image of Adams in a bid “to forgive and stop hating.”
He also tweeted how the album would potentially be titled “Love Everyone.”

Adams reportedly gave Donda West liposuction, a tummy stuck and breast reduction in November 2007, however, she died the following day after reporting pain and tightness in her chest.
Open letter from Jan Adams This is amazing. Thank you so much for this connection brother. I can't wait to sit with you and start healing pic.twitter.com/rlRGBZObOF— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 30, 2018
“The final manner of death could not be determined. Multiple post-operative factors could have played a role in the death.
“The exact contribution of each factor could not be determined.”
Adams penned an open letter to the rapper, requesting him to “cease and desist” from using the image.
He wrote: “I don’t want to seem ungrateful. I just think that if in fact this conversion to love is genuine on your part, then it’s inappropriate to drag the negativity of the past with it.”
Adams went on to give a description of the events surrounding the death, adding: “Don’t put my picture out there and pretend you are about love. Love deals with the truth.
“Over the past 10 years I have tolerated all the errors, misinformation and lies told by reporters, journalists and people on the street out of respect for doctor-patient privilege and your mother.”
As the call for R Kelly’s sponsors and distributors to drop the singer amid numerous allegations of sexual misconduct continues to grow the singer’s management has leapt to the aid of the former star. Claiming that R Kelly “supports empowered women”.
As the the ‘Women of Color’ subcommittee of the ‘Time’s Up’ movement made clear their feelings towards the continued profiting from such a prolific predator, the world is starting to rally around the not only the prosecution of Kelly but also the removal of his work.
However, R Kelly continues to ignore the growing pressure and in response to the abuse allegations, Kelly’s representative has since sent Variety a statement from the singer’s management:
“Kelly supports the pro-women goals of the Time’s Up movement. We understand criticising a famous artist is a good way to draw attention to those goals—and in this case, it is unjust and off-target. We fully support the rights of women to be empowered to make their own choices.
Time’s Up has neglected to speak with any of the women who welcome R. Kelly’s support, and it has rushed to judgment without the facts. Soon it will become clear Mr. Kelly is the target of a greedy, conscious and malicious conspiracy to demean him, his family and the women with whom he spends his time.
“Kelly’s music is a part of American and African-American culture that should never—and will never—be silenced. Since America was born, black men and women have been lynched for having sex or for being accused of it. We will vigorously resist this attempted public lynching of a black man who has made extraordinary contributions to our culture.”

Social media stars are known for flaunting their lavish lifestyles online.
But this year, influencers are beginning to fight back against these ideals.
Jazmina Daniel, an Australian make-up artist, is being praised for her latest post.
The LA-based Instagrammer, who has more than 1.2 million followers, decided to open up to her followers.
For the first time ever, the plus size beauty shared a photo of herself on the beach.
In the snap, the waves crash behind her as she strikes a pose in a Simply Be swimsuit.
So can you see why the image has gone viral?
While Jazmina looks like a body confident babe in the image, she had to overcome some hurdles before stripping off.
Talking to her fans in the caption, she admitted: “I can’t even remember the last time I wore a swimsuit at the beach! I felt so nervous.”
But it turns out that the Instagram celebrity had nothing to worry about.
More than 54,000 people have liked the post, with many applauding her for opening up about her insecurities.
One commenter said: “This is inspiration at its best.”
Another remarked: “Proof that size does NOT matter. She is absolutely stunning.”
A third added: “You look bloody amazing!! don't ever let people tell you differently!”

Plus size model Iskra Lawrence is one of the most famous anti-airbrushing advocates.
Stacey Solomon is another body confidence promoter.
Earlier this year, she was praised for sharing an unedited bikini photo.
Sean Paul grabs a Billboard Music Awards nomination for “Rockabye.”
The track was released in 2016 with Clean Bandit and AnnMarie and did very well on the charts. The song was nominated in the Top Dance Electronic Song category and is the hot favorite to take home that award. Since making a big comeback to the music scene in 2016, Sean Paul has consistently maintained a presence on the Billboard chart and even scoring a Hot 100 number one banger in 2016 with “Cheap Thrills” with Sia.
Cheat Codes and Demi Lovato’s “No Promises,” The Chainsmokers and Coldplay’s “Something Just Like This,” Kygo and Selena Gomez’s “It Ain’t Me,” and Zedd and Alessia Cara’s “Stay” are the other nominees in the category.
The Billboard Music Awards was established to honor artists who made a big impact on the music scene over the past year. This includes music streaming and physical sales, radio play, touring and social media engagement with fans.
Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Cardi B, SZA, and Bruno Mars are among the leading nominees for the 2018 Billboard Music Awards set to air on May 20.
The video for “Rockabye” has close to 2 billion views on YouTube. Watch it below.
Govana and Jada Kingdom have both denied rumors that they are dating.
The dancehall stars dropped a new collaboration last weekend right before a photo of them in the studio hit the net. The cozy photo sparked some dating rumors but the pair has now stepped forward to shot down those rumors. The song is titled “Better Than That” and was produced by EMudio Records.
“You know me name Gyal Thief so from the fans see me around a female them a guh talk,” Govana said. However, I keep relations out of the music industry and avoid the mix-up, remember national don’t do mix-up.”
Since breaking onto the music scene last year with a slew of catchy singles, there have been speculations about who the “Love Situations” singer is dating. She is as much known for her ample ass-ets as she is known for her music so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that this photo sparked dating rumors.
Nevertheless, Jada Kingdom says she and Govana are just friends and it seems like they are intent on keeping it that way. “There is nothing deeper than friendship, [Govana] a mi bredrin that fi life!” she said. “For once, please let the music prevail, concentrate on the musical energy. There’s no salacious gossip or mix-up behind it.”
Regarding the collaboration, Govana says it was his idea to do the song with Jada Kingdom because he likes her writing skills and thought that she would be a good fit for the single. He was right on point with that assessment because the track is fire. Listen to “Better Than That” below.
Meek Mill has been given the green light to travel for work purposes.
Meek Mill was previously barred from leaving the state of Pennsylvania following his release on bail last week. The Philly rapper was granted bail after spending five months in prison. He was serving a 4-year prison sentence for probation violation despite a corrupt police officer being involved in his case. Nevertheless, Meek’s legal troubles are not yet over but his legal team is working with the state’s district attorney to have his criminal record dismissed.
As part of his bail condition, Meek Mill was ordered not to leave the state of Pennsylvania but last weekend he was spotted in New York partying. TMZ reported that Judge Genece Brinkley lifted the on the rapper and thus allowing him to travel for work purposes. Meek is also required to give the judge a 72 hours notice before he travels outside of the state and should also submit a urine sample once a month.
In an interview last week, Meek Mill said he does not feel free despite being released from prison. There is a good chance that the original drug and gun case against him will be dismissed as a result of the corrupt police officer being involved in the case.
Nicki Minaj is planning to crush Cardi B entire career with her new album.
Nicki and Cardi B beef has been brewing for the past two weeks and is showing no signs of slowing down. The two current leading ladies in hip hop seriously dislike each other a source close to the Trinidadian rapper told us. After taking shots at each other on Migos’ single “MotorSport” the two rap stars again took some more shots at each other on their most recent music.
The “Bodak Yellow” rapper fired off some subliminal shots on her debut album Invasion of Privacy which was released earlier this month. Nicki Minaj returned the shots on her new singles “Chun-Li” and “Barbie Tingz.” We’re told that the Young Money rapper became furious over an interview that Cardi B did last month where she was asked about the “MotorSport” collaboration.
“Nicki planning to crush her whole sh*t when this new album drop,” a birdie told Urban Islandz. “Cardi B been taking all these subliminal disses at Nicki for a while now so no one should feel sorry for her or be surprised when Nicki come for her. People love to paint Nicki as the bad guy when they well know that Bardi been walking sideways the whole time.”
Nicki Minaj has not given us a title or release date for the project, but we’re told that it’s coming soon. In one of her last interviews, the “Barbie Tingz” rapper says she is going back to her roots for her next album because everyone is too filtered these days. She also said the LP will be the best album she released over her career and will leave fans jaws dropping to the floor when they hear it.
So far she has been proving herself correct because her new single “Chun-Li” shot to the top ten on Billboard Hot 100 last weekend and is showing signs of more streaming and chart gains this week. “Just look at how well her new singles are doing on the charts everybody jamming Chun-Li right now and there is a whole album full of bangers coming,” our Nicki peep told us.
Some fans on social media are not here for an all-out beef between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B and are suggesting that they work together rather than tearing down each other. “C’mon rather than these petty beefs why don’t Nicki and Cardi hit the studio together and show the guys what girl power can do,” one fan wrote while another added, “This is why females are not taken more seriously in the biz cuz only two women rapping right now and rather than work together they are beefing smh.”
Rick Ross has suffered another life-threatening seizure just before performing at a show in New York City week before last weekend.
It’s been a scary year for Rick Ross who has been quietly dealing with some serious health problems. The latest seizure incident reportedly took place on April 23rd just moments before Rozay took the stage at BB King’s in New York. PageSix reported that the MMG boss started having trouble breathing backstage sending his team into a panic.
A masseuse was called in to massage his body to help him to relax and thus overcome what could’ve been another severe seizure incident. Last month, Rick Ross was found unresponsive at his home in Miami. A close friend found him having trouble breathing in the middle of the night and called 911. He spent a couple days in the hospital getting respiratory treatment for a suspected pneumonia and was advised by doctors to get some rest.
Now that Rick Ross is back on the road he has to pay close attention to his overall health and lifestyle. On August 4th, he will be performing at the 2018 Hard Summer Music Festival in Fontana, California. Rozay is also working on his upcoming album Port of Miami 2: Born to Kill, which will be the follow-up to his 2006 debut LP, Port of Miami. The new album is due sometime this summer.

By the turn of the millennium, the members of boy band *NSYNC — Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick – were massive stars, so it’s no surprise that, on the anniversary year of the group’s first album, they would be recognized with their own everlasting star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It’s even more fitting that the ceremony already took place yesterday April 30, because, cracks Fatone: “It’s gonna be May!”
That’s right, you know you’ve made it when a song released nearly two decades ago – “It’s Gonna Be Me” — finds new life each year as a popular meme. But *NSYNC was no ordinary group, which is why demand for a reunion persists. For now, though, fans will have to be satisfied with the rare appearance of all five members at 7080 Hollywood Blvd. “It will be a special moment,” says Bass. “Everyone we’ve worked with — every choreographer, every record person, our families, our friends and our fans — that star ceremony is honoring.”
“It’s something you dream about, adds Fatone, a sentiment shared by Kirkpatrick, who tells Variety, “This is iconic.”
In honoring of the group’s permanent place in music history, we look back at six defining moments of *NSYNC’s short but impactful career.

Last week longtime friends Kanye West and John Legend agreed to disagree when it came to their views politically.
And this week the two have not only done it again, but Kim Kardashian has also praised her husband for his return to the social media site.
The 37-year-old reality star took to Twitter to declared that it was in a much 'better place with her 40-year-old husband on it.
However, John and his wife Chrissy Teigen don't seem to feel quite the same way as they responded to a screenshot of a private text conversation Kanye had about the Republican party's involvement in slavery.
Kim steered clear of the controversy while complimenting her husband as she wrote: 'Twitter is such a bette place with @kanyewest on here [heart eyes emoji].'
This comes after Kanye had posted a screenshot from a message from what seemed to be businessman Steve Stoute in which he was told: 'Abe Lincoln freed and protected the slaves and he was republican. Republicans were the ones who's (sic) helped black people. Democrats protected the rights of the slave owners in the south.'
