Willie Taylor from R&B group Day 26 will be joining VH1’s “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood.” Willie recently made his “L&HH” announcement on Instagram and revealed that he would be moving from Chicago to L.A. to film the show. 

Though it is unclear what role Willie play on the show, he teased that his move to L.A. is to achieve his dreams and hopefully get out of the financial rut that he and  his family have been facing. 

“Moving from Chicago to LA is a huge jump in itself, but to bring my family here while I attempt to fill a void in my Dreams is a big ass leap,” he wrote on Instagram.

He added, “The price of living out here is way to expensive and with no family out here it's all on me!!!! How far are you willing to go to see your dreams come true? Would you move? Would you invest? Tune In Sept. 7th #LHHH2 on @VH1.”

Newest ‘Love and Hip Hop Hollywood’ Cast Member Shunned for Being Gay

By Anny Jules.       By Getty Images

The second season of “Love and Hip Hop Hollywood” hasn’t even begun and already there’s drama. 

Newest cast member Milan Christopher is reportedly being shunned by the rest of his “Love and Hip Hop” cast mates because he is gay. 

Sources say that Milan—who is a songwriter and rapper—-has complained to producers about the discrimination he is facing from other cast members. 

Some of the “L&HHH” stars allegedly refuse to appear in scenes with Milan and his boyfriend Miles because of their sexuality and because they feel he is not talented enough and on their level of fame. 

But regardless of the discrimination he’s facing, Milan and his boyfriend Miles will still be leads on the next season of “Love and Hip Hop Hollywood.” 

The show will focus on their controversial relationship within the rap game and the challenges they face when Miles’s childhood sweetheart Amber resurfaces. 

The official “Love and Hip Hop Hollywood” press release reads “This season of “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood” will explore one of the most complex relationships in franchise history. Miles, a west coast rapper, who was raised with church values bravely faces his truth, when he realizes he’s in love with Milan, an openly gay man. The struggle becomes complicated for Miles because his best friend and childhood sweetheart, Amber, is still in love with him. The season follows Miles and Milan’s difficult and emotional journey as they deal with the stigmas often associated with intimate relationships between black men in the music industry.” 

Though we commend VH1 for showcasing a different side of “love” in hip hop, something tells us that Miles and Milan’s relationship will feature lots of ratchet-ness and very little authenticity in regards to being gay in the rap game. Hopefully, we are proved wrong.

‘Basketball Wives’ Star Tami Roman Suffers a Miscarriage

Many were shocked to hear “Basketball Wives” star Tami Roman announce her pregnancy on  the “Love and Hip Hop ATL” after show when she was merely just six weeks pregnant. 

Now, just a few weeks following what was initially a happy announcement, Tami and her beau Reggie Youngblood are unfortunately announcing her miscarriage. 

Reps for Tami and Reggie have confirmed that Tami suffered a miscarriage while she was three months along in her pregnancy. 

According to their reps, the couple is naturally mourning the loss of what would have been their first child together.

“The couple requests prayers and privacy as they get through this difficult time,” the reps have said. 

Prior to her miscarriage, Tami, 45 gushed about her pregnancy to Necole Bitchie and revealed that various celebrities such as Halle Berry motivated her to get pregnant at an older age. 

She also revealed that pregnancy at 45 was something she initially did not want. However, her love for Reggie—-who is several years younger than her— fueled her interest to get pregnant again. 

“I’m not going to act like I’m not afraid. Deciding to have a child at the age of 45 is very risky, and when I first found out that I was definitely pregnant I went through a lot of emotions; fear, excitement, anxiety and stress,” Tami told Necole Bitchie. 

She  added, “I find resolve in knowing that the person I am having this child with absolutely adores me and wants to build a family with me so I’m excited about the possibility of that.”

Our hearts and prayers go out to Tami and Reggie at this time.

Kimbella Posts Controversial ‘Mommy-Daughter’ Instagram Photo

By Anny Jules      By Getty Images

“Love and Hip Hop” star Kimbella was recently slammed by many Instagram users for posting a photo of herself and her daughter in matching silver swimsuits. 

Though Kimbella described her mommy-daughter selfie as cute while endorsing the swimsuit line Eve.Jr, her Instagram followers thought otherwise. 

In the photo, Kimbella sports a platinum sliver one piece swimsuit that shows off her curves and cleavage. 

Meanwhile, her daughter, who is reportedly six-years-old,  is wearing a bikini of the same color while pulling down her bikini bottom down near her pubic bone. 

The clearly forced “mommy-daughter” moment is captured in what appears to be a living room.

Seconds after posting the photo, Instagram users flocked to Kimbella’s timeline to post all kinds of nasty comments about the video model’s flick. 

Many social media users accused Kimbella of exploiting her daughter’s body and noted that there are many pedophiles on social media that are now probably taking an interest in her daughter given her suggestive pose.

Others slammed Kimbella for allowing her six-year-old to wear a two-piece bathing suit to begin with and being a bad influence on her daughter.

Though we don’t see a problem in letting your daughter wear a two-piece bathing suit, the particular photo that was used for the endorsement does appear to be problematic. A different photo could have been used so that Kimbella’s daughter isn’t shown pulling down her bottoms. 

We’re sure more than one selfie was taken at the time and there was probably another photo in the bunch that could have been used instead. It’s important to be mindful of what you post of yourself online, but it is especially crucial to be picky when it comes to kids. After all, they don’t have a say on what goes up on Instagram and what eyes see their photos.

Say what!? Shad ‘Bow Wow’ Moss Says he Created Erica Mena

By Anny Jules          By Getty Images

Shad ‘Bow Wow’ Moss recently said some things about his wife-to-be Erica Mena that just might  put a pause on their walk down the aisle. 

Erica recently posted an Instagram photo of herself in a very  revealing all black top and matching black jeans. 

Check out the photo here:  http://bit.ly/1C75YzQ

Erica was definitely serving face and body in the photo and while her Instagram followers flocked to the comment section to praise the former “Love and Hip Hop” star on her look, Shad posted a comment that left many with raised eyebrows. 

Shad posted a heart face emoji underneath the photo and wrote, “All Me! Top to Bottom! Look at what I created!” 

Naturally many social media users—specifically an Instagram user @hilton—questioned Shad’s comment and checked him for his chauvinistic tone which prompted another comment from Shad expressing his belief that he upgraded Erica from where she was before and is solely responsible for creating her to be the person she is today. 

Say what!?

“That's all me. Look at her from a year ago to now. She dress diff hair diff swag diff. Thats me! As a man its our job to put our women on and up so high on pedal stool they become unreachable boy! Thats what i do! I seen sumn in her NO ONE saw! Now yall JUST SEEING IT!” he wrote. 

Erica has yet to respond publicly to the controversy surrounding Shad’s comment, but Shad’s  former flame Karrine “Superhead” Steffans revealed in a recent interview with Hot 97 that she made the decision to distance herself from the rapper/actor after he began controlling who she should hang out with.

"I'll tell you something everyone puts on this front like their so hard and their so this-and-that, but these people are very emotional and very possessive and they'll run around and say that's not my girl, but they are very possessive and Shad and I fell out because [Yung] Berg and I were friends. We still are,” she revealed.

She continued, "We don't talk as often just because I'm distancing myself from a lot of people, but me and Berg are great. I talked to him recently, we're straight. But, Bow felt Berg wasn't 'famous enough' or 'rich enough' for me to hang out with and that I should only be hanging out with Bow and [Lil] Wayne and that's it, and I need to start thinking highly of myself and stop hanging with people who aren't rich or famous.”

It’s disheartening in this day and age that there are men who feel  women are their property and they are the sole reason for their success. 

Ladies, we are the reason for our success and we determine ourfuture. Our spouses may certainly have helped us achieve our goals along the way,  but to attribute all of your success to one person discredits your strength and your abilities. Life does not begin and end with the man you’re with. 

And if we want want to get technical—-our parents created us, not our men. 

It is unclear what Erica feels about Shad’s views but we hope that she has enough sense to not succumb to his apparent chauvinistic viewpoint. 

Erica previously said that she and Shad set their wedding date for this month, but Shad revealed in a recent interview with Big Boy TV that they have yet to set a date.
