XL night club was packed with Summer Walker’s fans last night for an official after party and they were not having it. A source told us that Walker was booked to host the event for an hour and perform 2-3 songs, but what her Jersey fans got was a huge let down. The promoter posted a video of the artist holding the microphone, barely lip syncing her own song like it was some sort of joke. I feel sorry for anyone that paid to see her, I know that if it were me- I’d be tight LOL. I’d probably boo her ass out the club just like everyone else did.
By looking at the contract the promoter posted, I’m assuming that this was a huge misunderstanding on Walker’s management’s part.

Truthfully, whether artists like it or not their entertainers. It’s their job to atleast interact with their fans. If you’re in front of a room filled with the ones that got you to where you are in the first place, wouldn’t you want to show love… that’s just bad character. What do some of y’all think? As “small” as Jersey may seem, mad heads were in the building to see you Summer. We get that you may not like touring and you Over It, but now Jersey is over you!

On Monday, it was announced that Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” has broken the record for most consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Top 100 charts. The official count is 17 weeks with previous songs, “Despacito” and “One Sweet Day”, holding the record at 16 weeks.
I never liked this song and now I like it even less. The song is annoying, repetitive and frankly I never chose to listen to it on my own. But to be fair, any song that is going to be number 1 on the charts for that long is going to be considered overplayed by anyone. That doesn’t mean that each song that does that are equally worthy.

Blueface recently kicked his two girlfriends out, even after the two got matching tattoos. This may seem cruel, it is understandable when one of them said on her Instagram stories that they were only with Blueface for the clout and money.
The rapper discussed the matter in his recent interview with The Breakfast Club. He said that even if they joke about being with him for the wrong reasons, that’s enough of a reason to break off the relationship.
I find it interesting how Blueface is so quick to judge his girlfriend’s motives when he literally has two girlfriends. It’s not like he is being super faithful either. But then again, I get why he did what he did and wish him luck in finding others who will appreciate him for his person rather than his money and reputation.

Diddy was spotted out with his son’s ex girlfriend, Lori Harvey.
The two were seen together in New York City last night. Though it may have appeared as if they were out on a date, they were joined by Lori’s friend Elisa Johnson, who posted Instagram stories throughout the night.
Fans were obvious creeped out by the whole affair and I don’t blame them. Even if the two turn out not to be dating, it is still messed up to be hanging out with your son’s ex regardless. Diddy, I don’t know what you’re angle is on this, but please come to your senses.

Law enforcement told TMZ that Young Dro was arrested on July 5th for allegedly throwing a plate of banana pudding at his girlfriend during an argument. The charges are two counts of misdemeanor battery and family violence.
Apparently the argument was over money, with Dro’s girlfriend saying that she doesn’t wish to press charges. Law enforcement arrested him anyway.
The only funny part about this story is the banana pudding part but even that isn’t funny when one realizes it was on a plate. Hurling a plate at someone is messed up and could seriously hurt.
It’s not surprising that the girlfriend doesn’t want to press charges because, and I don’t think I’m out of line when I say this, Young Dro is likely the one making most of the money they were arguing about.
