‘Panini’ performer Lil Nas X is pressed and bothered over not seeing his chart-topping work nominated in any category at this year’s BET Awards.

Once he discovered he was omitted from the list of nominees announced June 1, the 23-year-old took to social media in a tirade that saw him suggest his sexuality was among the reasons his hits ‘Call Me By Your Name,’ ‘That’s What I Want,’ and ‘Industry Baby’ were overlooked during categorical consideration.

Fans who thought his beef with BET had cooled were stunned to see him return to social media this week to tease a diss track aimed at the network.

Look inside to hear the snippet of the tune and see how reps from the channel responded to the slam.

Phaedra Park may no longer appear on the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta,’ but her affiliation with the franchise remains as fresh as the peach she held for five seasons.

Still a fan favorite, the 48-year-old appeared on The Wendy Williams Show to plug her involvement in the ‘Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip’ season 2 and the ‘Real Housewives of Dubai.’

When on the air, ‘America’s Next Top Model’ was both a ratings smash and a cultural phenomenon.

In the years since its initial run, the Tyra Banks-helmed series has been scrutinized – almost on a monthly basis – through a contemporary lens.

The less than endorsing claims have been plentiful and have included accounts from contestants on the long-running show.

One person that isn’t here for the critique, though, is season 3 winner Eva Marcille. 

Since triumphing on the 2004 installment of the UPN series, she went on to enjoy a multi-dimensional career in the limelight – racking up modeling, acting, TV, and hosting gigs.

And she’s not feeling the derogatory claims about ANTM from others who haven’t demonstrated the same work ethic.
