Kehlani is using her platform to shed light on the ongoing conflict in Gaza – a crisis the GRAMMY nominee expressed staunch disappointment in her celebrity colleagues for remaining widely silent on.

“You can’t stop for a second and recognize that … nothing we do has a f—ing purpose without people and you can’t turn the f— around and reach back for people? You can’t speak? Disgusting,” she said about her industry peers in regard to the Israel-Hamas war in the emotional clip lifted to social media on Monday (May 27).

Proving she’s willing to back her words up with action, Lani followed her impassioned speech by announcing merchandise set to accompany her next single – the follow-up to ‘After Hours‘ – will see 100% of its proceeds disbursed to Operation Olive Branch, a “volunteer-powered grassroots collective effort” with the mission of “connecting with and amplifying Palestinian voices in an effort to support their critical needs.”

Tamar Braxton may have vowed to keep her private life under wraps from henceforth, however, remarks made about her on-off-on-again boo Jeremy “JR” Robinson have thrust her relationship with the attorney back into the spotlight.

The singer/reality star was quizzed on the status of her union with Robinson (to whom she became engaged to again last year) in an interview with Carlos King on the live edition of his Reality with the King podcast.

And while she explicitly expressed that she would be keeping mum on the romance, she did indulge in a few jokes from the host and audience about Robinson. Specifically remarks about him resembling KFC‘s Colonel Sanders.

Robinson appeared less than impressed and took to Instagram to vent.

Now, Braxton has issued an apology.
