London On Da Track Asks Fans To “Name A Better Duo” Than Him & Summer Walker—And Social Media Has A Field Day

Image
Fans are still in an uproar regarding the disturbing video of R&B couple Summer Walker and her producer/boyfriend  London On Da Track . In an effort to apparently shift the narrative, London recently posted a photo of the two and asked a question that brought a wave of shade on social media.  As we previously reported, Summer Walker and London On Da Track posted a video to Instagram of London choking her. Many fans  were very alarmed  at the video footage, while others noted that the two were merely playing around and he wasn’t harming her.  In the video, London grabs Summer’s neck and when she tells him that it hurts, he refuses to let go. She then tells him to stop, but he continues to keep his hand around her neck. That’s when he tells her to say that she loves him, to which Summer responds, “I love you. Get off me.” However, he still doesn’t let go and brings her closer to him and says, “Give me a f**kin’ kiss.” Fast forward to the present and London posted a photo to Ins

Houston rapper HardyBoy Pigg says he was the first artist signed to the label, and he claims that Crawford “left me for dead” when he was locked up for three years. He added that Crawford “was on some bully stuff” when it came to releasing his music, which he said was held back like Megan claims her music has been. They claim that Megan Thee Stallions' success blindsided Carl and he did not know what to do! Pigg calls Crawford the devil!

‘When They See Us’ Real-Life Prosecutor Linda Fairstein Is Suing Ava DuVernay And Netflix–Says Her Career Was Destroyed

Image
Of all the things going on right now, Exonerated 5 prosecutor Linda Fairstein thought it was the appropriate time to hit Ava DuVernay and Netflix with a lawsuit for her portrayal in “When They See Us.” Fairstein filed the federal suit today, saying she warned Ava about it before the limited series was released on Netflix. Fairstein claims she told Ava about her concerns of being portrayed in a false and defamatory manner.  Ava allegedly said Fairstein had no right to object before seeing the series. Once the critically acclaimed series actually dropped, Fairstein says every episode in which she appeared portrayed her as a “racist, unethical villain who is determined to jail innocent children of color at any cost.” In the suit, which was obtained by  TMZ , Fairstein objects to how the case was portrayed in the series, denying that she unlawfully interrogated unaccompanied minors. She also denies calling for a roundup of “young black” thugs as well as manipulating the timeline to pin t
