Azealia Banks has never been one to hold back and it seems Tinashe is the latest name in her firing line.

Seemingly unprovoked, the rapper took to Instagram to vent her views about the singer and  the alt-R&B direction of her newest music.

Branding Tinashe a “Pop tart,” Banks went on to unpack the reasons why she sees the 26-year-old as more of an “NBA cheerleader” and why she doesn’t feel Nashe is a “star”…yet.

Judge Tammy Kemp has gotten more media attention than she could have ever imagined thanks to the ‘hug seen around the world.’

While some have applauded the public official for her unique display of compassion for Amber Guyger, a former Dallas police officer who had just been convicted of killing her innocent Black neighbor in his home, Kemp says most of the commentary has been overwhelmingly negative as her office has been flooded with hate mail (e-mails and letters), phone calls, and fiery social media posts for what critics and legal experts alike are branding ‘unprofessional’ and ‘unethical’ courtroom behavior.

Nearly a week after the guilty verdict was handed down, the judge is on a media blitz to respond to the ongoing backlash and clear her name.  In addition to speaking with local Texas outlets, she sat down for an interview with CNN where she was reduced to tears recounting Guyger’s remorse over the unfortunate incident.

Ever treading the line between outspoken and uncouth, the rapper – who hasn’t released charting music in almost seven years – took to social media to lay into RiRi.

Unprovoked, Banks blasted the Bajan belle’s body – branding her “fat and bald headed” – and claimed the latter is some form of marketing campaign helmed by… Jay-Z.

Malik Yoba has been the center of many-a-hot-debate over the week since speaking out about his attraction to all women, including transgendered women (click here to read).

While fielding some criticism and homophobic jokes, the overwhelming commentary around Yoba’s admission has been positive as he was applauded for his bravery – especially as a man of color – for making such an announcement.  However, just days after the ‘New York Undercover’ star’s confession, a Facebook post made by a transgender woman named Mariah Lopez Ebony went viral after she alleged the now-51-year-old actor paid to have sex with her 20 years ago.

The issue?  She was only 13-years-old at the time. Details below:
