There were lots of hot topics on tab this week!  We just took of few of them and gave you our twist on what WE thought!  Kanye West  has reportedly designed t-shirts urging Black people to leave the Democratic party?  So y’all remember #TurningPointUSA’s #YoungBlackLeadershipSummit that was held in Washington D.C. recently? It’s where #StaceyDash and #BenCarson are speaking and it is catered to young black conservatives. Well, apparently Kanye’s newest clothing design debuted there. The shirts Kanye created say #Blexit on them and supposedly advocate for a black exit, or “Blexit,” from the #Democratic Party, according to Turning Point USA’s communications director, conservative commentator and Kanye’s homegirl, #CandaceOwens. What do we say about this brotha!  He needs to get back to his roots; give him a good piece of greasy chiecken, lol. Nicki Minaj is all about taking a lie detector test to get to the bottom of her feud with Cardi B. On Monday (October 29), talk show host Maury Povich offered the Queen mastermind a free test and Nicki accepted. This all may be a publicity stunt...stay tuned for this one! Tyler Perry is saying that in 2019, we’re going to see the last of Mabel Earleane Simmons, otherwise known as the beloved “Madea” character. If you’re a Perry fan, this could be sad news, but if you’re not, well, it could be good news. In the last few years tremendous strides have been made within the beauty industry for women of color. Longtime besties Kimberly Smith and Amaya Smith both had their own successful beauty businesses before they decided to go into business together and provide WOC in the D.C. area with the beauty essentials they need and desire. Together, they have teamed up to bring Brown Beauty Co-Op to Dupont Circle, which will house a mixture of skincare, hair and beauty products specifically for WOC in a 1,000-square foot store located at 1365 Connecticut Avenue Northwest. The space is scheduled to open this December and is sure to be to the delight of many women residents of the D.C. area. CHECK THEM OUT!  There are new condoms out that claim that to withstand 1,000 thrusts. The average sexual encounter lasts 19 minutes. Let’s say 25 per cent of that time is foreplay. So that’s almost 15 minutes of sex with around 30-40 thrusts per minute, or 600 thrusts in a session.Also the average sex session ranges from 33 seconds to 44 minutes. Is Hugging another woman's man inappropriate? We flipped this a couple of times but let us know what you think?? Until next Wednesday...see what I'm sayin!!

Hate it or love it, it's undeniable what happen in some of the trending topics that we talked about this week. Drake passes The Beatles for Most Top 10 Hits in a single year. The Beatles previously set the record with 11 Top 10ers in 1964. Drake (32) is now third on the all-time list of most Top 10 singles behind The Beatles (34) and Madonna (38). Once again Drizzy proves that he's the king of this game! In related news, Pusha T threatens to release audio of Drake's team offering $100,000 for info about his parents and new born child. On "The Shop", Drake insisted Pusha T talking about his mother, father, and newborn child on "The Story of Adidon" didn't really bother him. It was the lines about his producer and longtime friend Noah "40" Shebib that seemed to upset him the most. Back in May, the G.O.O.D Music president tweeted that Drake's team was offering $100,000 for dirt on him. This is getting to be GOOD, lol! Bardi’s baaaaack! Cardi B’s released her new single, "Money" one day ahead of schedule. This is Cardi's her first solo release since her “Invasion of Privacy” album. Heard it yet...let us know what you think?? Beyoncé & JAY-Z's "On The Run II Tour" earns over $250M. The OTR II Tour kicked off on June 6 in Cardiff, Wales and wrapped up on October 4 at Seattle’s CenturyLink Field. The proud parents of three performed a total of 48 stadium dates. London Stadium’s two-night engagement alone amassed $11 million with more than 125,000 tickets sold. Jay’s 4:44 Tour last year netted $44 million during its eight-week run. This couple continues to win. I want to be like them when I grow up :).

In just her second year as a mainstream music artist, Cardi B continues to break records. She is now in first place when it comes to female rappers with the most weeks at #1 on the Hot 100 chart.The Invasion of Privacy album creator is the first female rapper to have three number one records. There's definitely no options when it comes to who ran the rap game this year!  The family of Amy Winehouse is looking to keep her essence alive by embarking on a hologram tour in conjunction with BASE Hologram. Rolling Stone is reporting that the singer’s estate has come to an agreement with the entertainment company to kick off a tour next year that will feature “digitally remastered arrangements of [Winehouse’s] classics” while the hologram “will be backed by a live band, singers and theatrical stagecraft.” After Tupac shook up Coachella back in 2012 via digital hologram, there was talk of a Biggie and even Elvis hologram tour but none of those every came to fruition for whatever reasons. The hologram tour will also be used to raise money for the Amy Winehouse Foundation which works to stymie young people’s abuse of drugs and alcohol. Are you here for an Amy Winehouse Hologram Tour? You NO longer need a college degree to get hired at these companies. Check out this listing. You may be surprised! Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland may have a joint album on the way...thoughts?
