Masika Kalysha, one of ‘Love & Hip Hop‘s leading ladies, has warned TV hopefuls to beware of the series and the “devils” she say use Mona Scott-Young to manipulate the platform’s predominantly African-American and Hispanic stars.

Now a part of the ‘Growing Up Hip Hop‘ cast, Kalysha caught up with ‘The Shade Room’ to reveal why she no longer stars in ‘Love & Hip Hop Hollywood‘, the contract its producers locked her into and why she suspects her legal representation was in cahoots with Mona.

That wasn’t all.

For, she also revealed how much (or how little) the show’s performers earn per season and how illegal downloading destroyed the video vixen.

Over a year after their births, Rumi and Sir Carter – the youngest children of Beyonce and Jay Z – get their “closeup” courtesy of pictures lifted to the singer’s official web site.

The shot was one of many the couple snapped as their ‘On the Run II’ tour took them all across Europe for work and play before heading to the States to perform the kickoff of the North American leg at Cleveland, Ohio’s FirstEnergy Stadium (July 25).

With the gems that line her eighth studio album, ‘TKO,’ and the visuals to match, R&B veteran Mya continues to serve notice that taking the independent route does not have to equate to a reduction in quality – a truth she crystallizes with the video for ‘Damage.’

The third clip offered from this era (following ‘Ready For Whatever’ and ‘You Got Me’), the video – produced, directed, choreographed, edited, and styled by the multitalented Galen Hooks – comes four months after its official release and is described as “a raw, vulnerable visual with an emphasis on movement & expressive dance.”

Look inside to see if it lives up to its hype:

Last fall Azealia Banks stunned fans when she took to social media to pose a truce with one-time nemesis Nicki Minaj (who accepted the offer).  To the surprise of…well…no one, that lasted all of 8-9 months before Banks began taking shots at the Harajuku Barbie again by accusing of her plagiarism (click here to read that).

Until 2016, nearly ten years into his career, the only time Drake saw his name penciled atop the Hot 100 was as co-star to a Rihanna hit.  Now, fast forward to 2018, he threatens to eclipse the Bajan beauty.

As his viral hit, ‘In My Feelings,’ has nabbed another week at #1 thanks to a whopping 116.2 million streams amassed in one week (setting a new all-time record), Drizzy’s now one week shy of breaking Rih’s record for most weeks at #1 this decade.  In its second week at the tally’s perch, ‘Feelings’ (his sixth chart-topper overall), has granted the rapper his 41st career week at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.  Mind you, this is ahead of the tune’s soon-to-come accompanying video…

Nicki Minaj made a very big mistake when she agreed to collaborate with the entertainer 6ix9ine and, for reasons unbeknownst to her more clued-up fans, invited him to join her tour.

Now, after taking time away from the spotlight, Jackson finds herself enjoying what may be the best comeback story in years, powered by sold-out tours, new music and her decision to play by her own rules.

The sum of her success? $11 million.
