Keke Palmer Catches Darius Jackson’s Abuse in 4K AND Keke’s Mother Sharon Palmer Confirms Abuse and Calls Out Darius’ Brother

Keke Palmer caught Darius Jackson in 4K by submitting as evidence security footage of him abusing her to support her restraining order against Darius. “I am very concerned for Leo’s safety with Darius given his violent, volatile, and jealous nature, comments he has made which have caused me grave concern, and the lack of restraint Darius has already exhibited regarding his temper in front of our son,” reviewed and reported by Radar Online. “The abuse during our relationship was not just physical, but emotional and manipulative. Darius would “love bomb” me and make me feel like I was the most important woman in the world, only to get extremely distant and cold over a perceived insult to him,” reads Keke’s statement in the court documents. A judge has approved her temporary restraining order. We send Keke Palmer our support, and hopefully, since it’s Men’s Mental Health Month, Darius Jackson will seek help for his issues.

Keke Palmer’s mother, Sharon Palmer, lit up on social media to speak out against Sarunas Jackson‘s tweets cryptically made to support his brother Darius. Sister Sharon said she knew of Darius‘ abuse of Keke and brought up the matter to Sarunas, who said: “I used to be like that too.” The “Insecure” actor immediately tried to clear his name in The Shaderoom comment section and posted, “Quote me: I NEVER ONCE SAID THAT to Sharon. NOT ONCE IN MY LIFE. I have NEVER been abusive to any of the women I ever been involved with. I’m not going to keep on with this circus. But Sharon, the world is about to hear YOUR VOICE. Very soon. And the threats you made to my family. Be well, everyone.. I know it’s easy to get caught up in this but make no mistake that all of this is VERY sad.” Amanda Seales, a former cast member of Sarunas from their hit show “Insecure” has spoken about her interaction with him, only replied to Sharon‘s video with an ellipsis, saying nothing but everything simultaneously.

Kim Kardashian Promotes Consistent Perkiness with Fake Nipples on Ultimate Skims Bra

Citing rising hot temperatures, Kim Kardashian is in hustle mode with a new line of Skims push-up bras that feature fake nipples. The new bra collection was announced last month via an Instagram video that featured Kardashian modeling her Ultimate Nipple Bra under a skintight seamless t-shirt, Sandra Rose reports. Under the post’s caption, the SKIMS founder described her latest product as, “The ultimate nipple bra. Perfect fullness with a built-in, faux nipple for shock factor.”

“The Earth’s temperature is getting hotter and hotter, the sea levels are rising, the ice sheets are shrinking. And I’m not a scientist, but I do believe everyone can use their skill set to do their part. That’s why I’m introducing a brand-new bra with a built-in nipple,” Kardashian said in the Instagram video. “So, no matter how hot it is, you’ll always look cold. Some days are hard, but these nipples are harder. And unlike the icebergs, these aren’t going anywhere.”


Bad News for Young Thug? Judge Rules Rap Lyrics ARE Admissible in Rapper’s RICO Trial

ATLANTA, Georgia (WANF) -Fulton County Chief Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville held a hearing that began Wednesday and lasted throughout the evening on whether the lyrics could be used as evidence.

Glanville ruled some of Young Thug’s lyrics can be used as evidence, but the judge said the lyrics are “conditionally” admitted. Defense attorneys have been arguing the rapper’s lyrics have nothing to do with his alleged crimes and that using the lyrics could sway the jury.

Last week, Glanville was set to hear motions as to whether lyrics from hip-hop songs can be used against the rapper – real name Jeffery Williams – in his RICO trial.

“If you decide to admit your crimes over a beat, I’m going to use it,” Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has said. “I’m not targeting anyone. You do not get to commit crimes in my county, and then get to decide to brag on it, which you do for a form of intimidation and to further the gain and to not be held responsible.”

“I believe in the First Amendment,” Willis has said. “It is one of our most precious rights. However, the First Amendment does not protect people from prosecutors using it as evidence if it is such. In this case, we put it as ‘overt, predicate act’ in the RICO count, because we believe that’s exactly what it is.”


Birdman Pulls Up on Druski in Menacing Surveillance Video, Chain Taken

Druski's constant Birdman trolling seems to have finally caught up with him -- that is, if you buy this surveillance footage ... which shows the record exec "pulling up" on the homie.

TMZ Hip Hop has obtained some pretty shocking footage ... which we're told shows the Cash Money honcho and some goons literally dropping in and violently confronting Druski and co. at a studio session that the viral star was in late Friday night here in L.A. In the surveillance video ... you can see Birdman and his two friends facing off with Druski in a stairwell, and things get heated quickly -- with Baby apparently even attempting to put hands on Dru.

A minor scuffle ensues, and Druski and his pals go tumbling down the stairs as they try to escape ... making a run for it and beelining it through the halls of the studio -- with Birdman in close pursuit. We're told Dru had just finished filming for his reality show, "Coulda Been House," when this happened ... and from the looks of it, Birdman caught wind of it.

It would also appear that Birdman took something with him from all this ... namely, Druski's chain -- which he proudly flashed on social media afterward, writing ... "Surprise Party B*tch Slippin In Studio Richgang." Druski hasn't addressed the incident on any of his platforms.

Of course, the question here is ... is this real or fake??? Frankly, we're not even sure -- because this "beef" between Druski and Birdman has been walking the line of fact and fiction for a while, and Birdman himself certainly seems to think they have actual problems.


THE D.O.C. SAYS HE’S MAKING NEW MUSIC WITH ‘A.I. TECHNOLOGY’

The D.O.C. has announced that he’s looking to reclaim his voice thanks to artificial intelligence, which he’s using to craft a new album.

The Dallas native recently sat down with CBS Mornings. He reflected on the near-fatal 1989 car accident that forever changed his voice, and how he still feels like he has something to say with his music over three decades into his decorated career.

“Fab 5 Freddy asked me if I would be interested in building an album using A.I. technology,” D.O.C. said. The goal would be for him to make new songs, but for A.I. to replace his current damaged voice with one that sounds like him pre-accident.

Freddy told the program: “I just felt like it was a no-brainer for somebody like him to bring some music to the world.”

The N.W.A. affiliate is working with an A.I. company called Suno to bring his vision to life, and he’s excited about the early returns.

Cam’ron has finally gotten a response from NBA great Joe Smith, who confessed that he wasn’t happy about the Dipset rapper hitting on his wife while Cam was on the air.

The power forward stopped by Vlad TV on Saturday (November 11) to reveal that he upset when his wife, Kisha Chavis, got propositioned by the rapper and TV host.

“It bothers me a lot,” Smith said to Vlad. “I did not just see that, but the messages I got from people who actually went to her OnlyFans page. They sent it on Instagram [and] Facebook, talking about how my wife looks and what kind of pictures my wife got.”


BLUEFACE POSTS AD FOR AN ASSISTANT, OFFERS $1K/WEEK TO ANSWER HIS PHONE

Blueface has posted an unusual “help wanted” ad, noting that he’s in the market for a personal assistant.

The “Thotiana” rapper took to Twitter on Sunday (November 12) to reveal that he’ll need someone to answer his phone, though he didn’t specify what other characteristics the successful candidate should possess, or what their other duties might be.

“I’m hiring rn who wan answer my fone for me good pay 1k a week,” he wrote on Twitter.

One user, however, quickly responded that he should hire his fiancée Jayden Alexis, since she may be better suited for the job than what she’s currently doing. “That’s what Jaidyn should be doing since she can’t rap,” the user quipped.

For what it’s worth, Salary.com reports that the average personal assistant in Florida, where the rapper currently lives, makes about $66,000 per year.


LIL YACHTY BLAMES ‘IMITATION’ & ‘LOW-QUALITY MUSIC’ FOR ‘TERRIBLE’ STATE OF HIP HOP

Lil Yachty has announced that he is not a fan of the way things are in Hip Hop today. He went far enough to claim that things are just “terrible.”

“Hip-hop is in a terrible place,” Yachty said at Rolling Stone‘s Musicians on Musicians event in Brooklyn, New York (via Complex) on Friday (November 10). “The state of hip-hop right now is a lot of imitation. It’s a lot of quick, low-quality music being put out.”

He continued: “It’s a lot less risk-taking, it’s a lot less originality. People are too safe now. Everyone is so safe. I rather take the risk than take the L.”
