In an exclusive R. Kelly this morning interview with CBS ,the artist broke silence on his alleged sexual abuse claims and lost his temper. The artist sat down with Gayle King to discuss the sexual charges and misconduct against him. During the interview, he said “I have been assassinated. I have been buried alive. But I’m alive.” The recording artist denied every accusation against him- even the ‘so-called’ relationship with two girls that supposedly lived with him at his place in Chicago.

Kylie Jenner has officially surpassed Mark Zuckerberg to become the youngest self-made billionaire in the world. At just 21 years old, Jenner has surged her net worth all the way to billionaire status.
According to Forbes, Jenner was worth just $5 million back in 2015, but the monumental success of her brand — Kylie Cosmetics — has catapulted the Kardashian star into the billionaire threshold. Her exclusive deal with Ulta, combined with her social media promotion has led to huge financial growth each year. She owns the entire company and only has 7 other full time employees. Kris Jenner, the matriarch of all of this, handles PR for the company while collecting a ten percent fee.
There is obvious controversy on social media surrounding the term “self-made billionaire.” Jenner comes from an extremely privileged family and already had a built in platform for easy success. Unlike Zuckerberg who started his company from scratch inside his Harvard dorm room, Jenner had financial freedom to fail or succeed on her own without any risk or repercussions.
Kylie Jenner is not a “self made billionaire” her family was already worth millions and incredibly famous. All she did was leverage her fame, fortune, and family name. https://t.co/jTxoH0LqwE
By all means, feel free to congratulation Kylie Jenner on becoming a Billionaire at that young age. It's an impressive accomplishment and worth a celebration. She deserves genuine praise.
But don't you dare call here "self-made". She's not.
The accomplishment is still pretty crazy, becoming a billionaire that quickly isn’t an easy task. However, the term “self-made” should probably be amended in Jenner’s case because she didn’t face any difficulties in funding the business and her name recognition alone defiantly helped secure her lucrative deal with Ulta. The main thing that is impressive is her social media prowess. She effectively used her followers as the only form of promotion for her products; an impressive innovation for replacing standard advertising.

Mac DeMarco has announced his new album “Here Comes The Cowboy” will be released May 10. Along with the announcement of the record, DeMarco dropped a new single titled “Nobody.” The single comes along with a video with Mac donning a cowboy hat, accompanied with full lizard makeup. Truly bizzare, but uniquely DeMarco.
It was announced yesterday that DeMarco would be a part of Pharrell’s new Virginia Beach music festival “Something In The Water.” He’ll be joined by some other big names like Travis Scott, Pusha T, and Migos.
Twitter took issue with DeMarco’s announcement today, accusing the 28-year old Canuck of stealing the title and track name from Mitski. Last August, Mitski released her album “Be The Cowboy” which also featured a track titled “Nobody.” While Twitter fumed over the similarities beteween the two, Mitski cleared the air and showed admiration for DeMarco with a tweet and Instagram post.
DeMarco is set to kick off his tour in April, starting in Coachella running all the way until October. DeMarco will also be dropping in on some tour dates with hip-hop artist Anderson .Paak.

Pharrell Williams posted a video late last night teasing a new music festival. Today, he released the official poster for “Something In The Water,” a concert festival coming this April.
The festival will be held in Virginia Beach, Pharrell’s hometown, and will give locals a chance to go to a big time festival. The inaugural shows will feature mainstream acts like Migos, Missy Elliott, Pusha T, SZA, Lil Uzi, and Travis Scott. Pharrell will also be performing with a collection of guests, one would assume that N.E.R.D. will be making an appearance, but we shall see. The shows will also mix in some more mellow indie pop/rock artists like Maggie Rogers, Mac DeMarco, and Dave Matthews Band.
It’s nice to see Pharrell organizing a festival for his hometown and share the stage with some of the hottest artists in the world for his people. Hopefully, this isn’t another Fyre fest type scenario where it’s all a scam, but I will trust Pharrell more than I would trust Ja Rule. The festival will run for three days: April 26, 27, and 28. Tickets will go on sale Friday.

Another week, another Monday. Sometimes it’s hard to find a way to burn time when you’re bored sitting at work or wasting away on public transit on your commute home. I present to you a solution. Watch our favorite BX natives flame this poor crying racist and dig deep into the rabbit hole of Desus and Mero clips. Last week we saw a modern Zapruder film, when a woman rammed her car into a gas station and proceeded to rage on towards nearby citizens. Today, we have the crying racist. It’s on the shorter side, but it’s still in the Bodega Hall of Fame for funniest clip. Watch this one to take your mind off things, and we’ll be back next week with another comedy classic.
