#RHOA: Angela Oakley Addresses If Charles Dated Sheree Whitfield
As she also spoke on her drama with Shamea Morton, 42, and the issues she has with Porsha Williams, 43, and Kelli Ferrell, the Real Housewives of Atlanta newbie reacted to the former cast member‘s apparent relationship with Charles, 61, as the former NBA pro addressed being banned from Madison Square Garden.
“Charles has dated many women back in the day, so I think the rumors are true, but it’s nothing we talk about, so no, I don’t run into Sheree, and that’s that,” Angela stated on the March 23 episode of WWHL.
As for Shamea saying she had a “retro nose,” Angela slammed Shamea as “Sha-mean-a.”
“I did not get offended so much because I’m like, I have a retro nose, but all of your crew has a retro nose as well,” she explained. “If I’m LaToya Jackson, I see my family in the room behind you.”
According to Angela, she offered a Flavor Flav-inspired read to Shamea because the rapper is a family friend.
“And we just was with Flavor Flav two months before,” she noted, recalling, “Shamea, her acting, or her antics, [were] all over the place.”
Looking back at Shamea’s apology to Drew Sidora, 39, at Kelli’s event, Angela admitted that it was a “little mean girl-ish” for Shamea to refrain from apologizing to her for her name-calling.
“It was a little mean girl-ish, a little Gretchen-ish. I was a little bothered. Shamea is Gretchen from Mean Girls,” she stated.
Moving on to the drama surrounding Drew and Dennis McKinley, 48, Angela said Porsha should “allow Drew to make her money.”
“I don’t feel like Drew’s doing anything wrong,” she revealed. “If she didn’t know [Drew and Dennis were filming together], of course, Drew needs to talk to Porsha about that. But she said she told her.”
“Drew told me she told Porsha,” Angela confirmed.
Then, when asked to assist her RHOA castmates, Angela advised Porsha to “leave Dennis alone.”
“Why are you clocking what Dennis do with his time and his resources? Leave Dennis alone,” she declared.
Then, after telling Shamea to “stop shucking and jiving” and “sit down,” Angela demanded that Kelli, “Shut up.”
“Kelli is loud and just yayaya … I would just assist Kelli in keeping her mouth shut,” she shared.
Regarding Brittany Eady, she continued, “I would assist Brit in helping fend off the haters because they’re hating on my girl Brit.”
Later, on the WWHL: After Show, Angela was questioned about whether Shamea’s defending of Porsha was lap dog behavior.
“Well, Shamea is a self-professed lapdog. She barks on her own. You don’t even have to coach her. She does it on her own. And as far as Shamea taking up for Porsha, that’s just what she does,” she replied, proceeding to deny doing the same for Drew.
“Drew was double-teamed. I just couldn’t assist her then because my wig. It all goes back to the wig,” she explained.
Also on the After Show, Charles was asked if he was still banned from MSG following a 2017 altercation and arrest.
“Not banned, banned, but I haven’t been there,” he revealed.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.

#HipHopNews: YoungBoy Never Broke Again is reportedly released from Prison.
YoungBoy Never Broke Again is reportedly a free man after spending nearly a year behind bars.
On Monday (March 24), news that NBA YoungBoy was released from Talladega FCI in Talladega, Ala., took over social media throughout much of the day. However, the prison nor his attorney have confirmed his official release. According to NBA member OG 3Three, YoungBoy has been let go.
"UHHHHHH OHHHHH MY BABY IS BACK HOMMMEEEEEEE," 3Three wrote in his Instagram Story. "#ALLGLORYTOGOD #ThistheSeason. Nomore #FreeTop He HOMMME." He posted a similar sentiment on his IG page with a photo of himself and YB.
Rich The Kid also celebrated YB's reported release by sharing "YB Free!!!" on X.
Last week, his release date was updated from July 27, 2025, to April 26, 2025, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons database.
The Louisiana rapper has been behind bars since he was arrested on April 16, 2024, at his home in Utah and charged with running a prescription drug fraud ring. Additionally, he was charged in Weber County, Utah, with the possession of a firearm by a convicted felon as a result of guns found in his home. He was already on house arrest for a gun case in Louisiana.
Last November, YB pleaded guilty to 10 counts in the prescription drug fraud case and was given a suspended prison sentence and ordered to pay a $25,000 fine. A month later, he pleaded guilty to the gun charges and was sentenced to 23 months after it was presumed he would spend a lengthy stint in prison.
"People are going to be shocked at how quickly he’ll be out," NBA YoungBoy's attorney Drew Findling told XXL last September. "And lawyers will be shocked that do this for a living because the ones that I brainstorm with are just blown away. So, it all may work out for him."
With time served, Top served 11 months of his 23-month sentence.
NBA YoungBoy is now on five years of supervised release. During that time, he will have to adhere to 10 special conditions, which include taking up to six monthly drug and alcohol screenings, completing a mental health evaluation, completing a substance abuse evaluation and more.
We have reached out to NBA YoungBoy's attorney for comment.

Sherri Shepherd And Nia Long Reportedly Have Confrontation At ‘Othello’ Opening Night
Drama reportedly unfolded at the star-studded premiere of Othello on Sunday night (March 23), and this time, the intense Shakespearean dialogue wasn’t just confined to the stage.
Sherri Shepherd had a heated encounter with an “unnamed” celebrity in the lobby of the broadway event. On Monday (March 24), Shepherd vaguely discussed what happened on her Sherri show.
“She grabbed my arm and forcefully turned me around… and she says to me, ‘You’ve been shading me a lot,’” Shepherd recalled, visibly unsettled by the encounter. When she insisted to the figure that she hadn’t, the star allegedly doubled down: “Yes, you have!”
According to Page Six, the mystery figure in question was actress Nia Long. Shepherd admitted she was left “really mad” by the interaction, and rather than brush it off, she took an unconventional approach. “I went to the bathroom during the intermission and I waited there for 15 minutes waiting for a meeting in the ladies’ room,” she said.
“You don’t get to grab me and turn me around like we’re in a daggone cartoon and just walk away,” she quipped, infusing the tension with her signature humor.
Although neither Shepherd nor Long have confirmed who the “unnamed” celebrity was, Long did post a cryptic message on her Instagram following Shepherd’s revelation: “About last night….[kiss face emoji].” She also had several stories showing that she was in attendance at the Othello show.
The highly anticipated Broadway production — headlined by Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal — drew an A-list crowd, including Jennifer Lopez, Katie Holmes, Angela Bassett, Samuel L. Jackson, Zoe Kravitz, Peter Dinklage, Colman Domingo, and even President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden.
Shepherd noted that she believes this was all a case of mistaken identity and extended an olive branch, inviting the unnamed celebrity to join her on Sherri to clear the air.
A representative for Long has yet to comment.

JuJu Watkins Sidelined With Season-Ending Injury, Will Miss Rest Of NCAA Tournament
USC star guard JuJu Watkins has suffered a devastating season-ending injury during the second round of the NCAA Tournament against Mississippi State.
The sophomore star reportedly tore the ACL in her right knee during the Trojans’ matchup against the Bulldogs on Monday night (March 24), which will leave her sidelined for the duration of the NCAA Tournament and possibly a portion of her junior campaign.
The injury occurred just five minutes into the first half when Watkins was driving to the basket during a USC fastbreak.
JuJu Watkins #12 of the USC Trojans after an injury against the Mississippi State Bulldogs in the first half during the second round of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament at Galen Center on March 24, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.
Attempting to dribble between two Mississippi State defenders, Watkins was fouled, and as she planted her foot, her right knee buckled, causing her to collapse in visible pain. She had to be carried off the court, and it was later announced that she would not return to the game.
Watkins will undergo surgery and begin rehabilitation in hopes of making a full recovery. Before exiting the game, Watkins had not scored a field goal, shooting 0-of-2, but managed to record three points on free throws, along with one rebound and two assists.
Following USC’s 96-59 victory over Mississippi State, head coach Lindsay Gottlieb shared her emotions regarding Watkins’ injury during a post-game press conference.

“I’d be lying if I told you that I wasn’t rattled seeing JuJu on the floor crying,” Gottlieb said. “This is a human game and so I obviously tried my best to be what I need to be for the team, but internally it’s a lot.”
She continued, “Obviously just heartbroken if there’s a serious injury for JuJu, but at the same time, I hope she can at some point see just the significance that she has here that goes so far beyond just her talent and abilities. I mean that’s really what is generational about it, the way she’s galvanized everyone.”

Watkins, a dominant force for USC throughout the season, averaged 24.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game. She was named an Associated Press All-American and remains a top contender for multiple national player of the year awards. Widely considered the presumptive No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft, Watkins led the Trojans to a stellar 30-3 record and a No. 1 seed in the tournament.
A host of professional and collegiate basketball stars took to social media to offer their support and wish Watkins a speedy recovery. Despite the heartbreaking injury, USC moves forward into the Sweet 16 for the second consecutive season, carrying with them the spirit and inspiration of their sidelined star.

Will Smith Gets Candid About His 10-Year Oscars Ban
Will Smith has opened up about his 10-year ban from the Oscars following his infamous 2022 Academy Awards appearance. During an interview with the Associated Press posted on Monday (March 24), the 56-year-old actor was asked about the ban and how he feels about it three years after he slapped Chris Rock on stage. Smith was humble in his answer, asserting that he is “looking to be the best human I can possibly be, and I’m gonna take what I get with that.”
In a separate piece with the outlet, Smith detailed how the adversity he faced from his actions that fateful March 2022 night led him to create his first album in 20 years. The Oscar-award-winning entertainer explained that the fallout from attacking Chris Rock allowed him to rediscover his love for music, where he channeled his pain.
“I’ve taken the last couple of years to really do a deep dive on the parts of me that may or may not been in that level of certainty and asking those deep scary internal questions,” Smith told the outlet regarding his LP, Based on a True Story. “It really is the result of my initial self-examination. Every song is about some part of myself that I discovered or wanted to explore, something I wanted to share. It’s the most full musical offering that I’ve ever created.
In July 2022, Smith formally apologized to Rock for his actions. The King Richard thespian delivered a personal statement to Rock, labeling his actions as “unacceptable and harmful behavior.” “Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable, and I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk,” the Fresh Prince said.
The acclaimed comedian rejected Will Smith’s apology, telling the multihyphenate, “F**k your hostage video.” However, Chris Rock recently spoke to Variety, and his stance on the matter appeared to shift.
Rock, 60, revisited Smith and whether or not he would host the award show again, saying, “You never know. This is what I would say, the most miserable people on earth are people that can’t forgive. And not just people, you have to forgive yourself sometimes, too. So, hey, you never know… I live in forgiveness. True love starts at forgiveness.”

Pharrell Williams receives award at 37th Morehouse gala
Pharrell Williams stands as one of contemporary culture’s most versatile visionaries, continually expanding his creative footprint across music, fashion, film and philanthropy. His recent recognition at the 37th Annual Morehouse College “A Candle in the Dark” Gala underscores not just his artistic achievements but his growing influence as a cultural bridge-builder and mentor to emerging creators.
The prestigious Candle in Arts and Entertainment Award acknowledges Williams’ boundary-breaking career and his commitment to celebrating diverse cultural narratives through multiple artistic mediums. During his visit to Atlanta for the gala, Williams participated in several events that highlighted his evolving role as both creator and curator of cultural moments.
West African heritage takes center stage through film
Williams’ latest artistic venture, a film titled “All Day I Dream About Sport” (ADIDAS), represents his deepening exploration of cultural storytelling through visual media. Co-directed with Gabriel Moses, the film serves as a cinematic tribute to West African culture with particular emphasis on daily life in Senegal.
A special screening at The High Museum of Art attracted students from several Historically Black Colleges and Universities including Spelman College, Morehouse College and Clark Atlanta University. The event highlighted Williams’ commitment to engaging young audiences with content that celebrates African cultural heritage.
Following the screening, Williams engaged in conversation with James Whitner, founder of The Whitaker Group, in a session moderated by Aria Hughes, editor-in-chief of Complex. Their discussion explored the interconnections between fashion, music and cultural representation that form the foundation of Williams’ creative approach.
Finding passion becomes professional purpose
During the post-screening conversation, Williams offered the first of his powerful insights on creativity by emphasizing the transformative potential of aligning career with passion. He reflected on how his diverse creative outlets provide complementary channels for his artistic vision, noting that these different platforms for artistic expression have been fundamental to his identity as a creator.
His advice to young creatives resonated deeply with the student-heavy audience as he emphasized the importance of finding vocations connected to activities they love so deeply they would do them without compensation. This philosophy encapsulates Williams’ approach to his own multifaceted career, where passion serves as both motivation and guiding principle.
For many students in attendance, Williams’ path represents a masterclass in turning creative interests into sustainable careers without compromising artistic integrity. His trajectory from music producer to fashion designer to filmmaker demonstrates how centered passion can fuel decades of innovation across seemingly disparate fields.
The reducer approach transforms collaboration
Williams’ second major insight revealed his unique collaborative methodology, which he terms the reducer approach. Inspired by legendary music producer Rick Rubin, Williams explained his role in creative partnerships as being a mirror for others’ blind spots, helping collaborators see aspects of their talent they might not recognize themselves.
This philosophy positions Williams not as an imposer of his own vision but as a catalyst who helps others discover untapped creative potential within themselves. By identifying and eliminating obstacles to authentic expression, Williams enables collaborators to produce work that transcends their previous limitations.
He illustrated this point through his work with artists like Pusha T, who appears on “Mike Tyson Blow to the Face” from the ADIDAS film score. Williams described how his production style involves guiding artists toward their strengths while encouraging experimentation beyond their comfort zones.
This reducer approach has yielded some of contemporary music’s most innovative sounds and has translated successfully to Williams’ work in fashion and film. By applying the same principles across different creative disciplines, he maintains a consistent philosophy while adapting to each medium’s unique requirements.
Cultural authenticity drives creative direction
The third insight emerged through Williams’ discussion of his film’s aesthetic and narrative choices. Rather than imposing external concepts onto Senegalese culture, Williams emphasized the importance of authentic representation that emerges from within communities themselves.
During the discussion, Williams emphasized the beauty in allowing people to tell their own stories. His film deliberately centers Senegalese perspectives, using local talent both in front of and behind the camera to ensure cultural accuracy and respect for the communities portrayed.
This approach represents a significant evolution in how global brands engage with African cultures. Rather than appropriation or superficial reference, Williams advocates for meaningful collaboration that acknowledges the depth and complexity of cultural expression.
The film itself serves as a visual manifesto for this philosophy, presenting West African culture through a lens of celebration rather than exploitation. By working with local artists and community members, Williams creates space for authentic stories that might otherwise remain untold in mainstream media.
Community engagement reshapes fashion industry
James Whitner, joining Williams on stage, provided complementary insights about community-centered approaches to fashion retail. Since opening his first boutique in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2005, Whitner has expanded to more than 26 stores across 13 cities, creating spaces that blend luxury retail with cultural storytelling and community impact.
Whitner articulated the fourth major insight of the evening by highlighting the importance of being at the center of one’s own narrative as a prerequisite for inclusion in broader cultural conversations. This perspective emphasizes the critical nature of self-definition and agency in cultural production, particularly within industries that have historically excluded diverse voices.
Whitner and Williams share a vision for fashion that extends beyond commercial transactions to become vehicles for community empowerment. Both have created platforms that celebrate cultural heritage while creating economic opportunities within underrepresented communities.
Their conversation revealed how fashion can serve as a powerful medium for cultural expression when approached with intentionality and respect. By prioritizing community needs and perspectives, both have developed models that challenge traditional retail paradigms while achieving significant commercial success.
Cross-disciplinary thinking unlocks innovation
The fifth insight emerged through Williams’ explanation of how he transfers skills and perspectives across different creative disciplines. His ability to move fluidly between music, fashion, film and other media demonstrates the value of cross-pollinating ideas and approaches.
Williams described how the same creative instincts that inform his music production also guide his approach to designing fashion collections or scoring films. This cross-disciplinary thinking allows him to identify connections and possibilities that might remain invisible to specialists working exclusively within a single field.
Williams‘ capacity to synthesize diverse influences and experiences contributes significantly to his innovative output. By refusing to be constrained by traditional boundaries between artistic disciplines, he continually discovers fresh approaches and unexpected combinations.
This perspective offers particular value to students and emerging creators who may feel pressure to specialize early in their careers. Williams’ example suggests that maintaining curiosity across multiple domains can become a significant competitive advantage rather than a distraction from developing expertise.
Film celebrates cultural heritage with global audience
“All Day I Dream About Sport” represents the culmination of these creative principles, offering viewers a visually stunning exploration of West African culture that refuses simplistic or exoticized representations. Currently available for streaming on Le Cinéma Club and the ADIDAS website, the film has garnered critical praise for both its aesthetic quality and cultural sensitivity.
What distinguishes the project is its deliberate centering of Senegalese perspectives rather than imposing external narratives. By collaborating with local artists and community members, Williams and Moses created a film that celebrates cultural specificity while finding points of universal connection.
The score features contributions from several prominent musicians including Pusha T, whose involvement underscores the project’s fusion of musical and visual storytelling. These collaborations extend Williams’ reducer philosophy into a multi-dimensional creative expression that engages multiple senses and perspectives.
As Williams continues expanding his creative repertoire, his recognition at Morehouse College acknowledges not just his artistic achievements but his growing influence as a cultural bridge-builder. Through projects like “All Day I Dream About Sport” and his ongoing mentorship of emerging talents, Williams demonstrates how creative vision can transcend entertainment to become a vehicle for cultural celebration and community empowerment.
His evolving legacy suggests that true visionaries find ways to align artistic expression with meaningful cultural impact, creating work that entertains while simultaneously expanding representation and opportunity for others. For the students who attended his Atlanta events, Williams offers both inspiration and a practical blueprint for navigating creative industries while maintaining authenticity and purpose.
Pharrell Williams stands as one of contemporary culture’s most versatile visionaries, continually expanding his creative footprint across music, fashion, film and philanthropy. His recent recognition at the 37th Annual Morehouse College “A Candle in the Dark” Gala underscores not just his artistic achievements but his growing influence as a cultural bridge-builder and mentor to emerging creators.
The prestigious Candle in Arts and Entertainment Award acknowledges Williams’ boundary-breaking career and his commitment to celebrating diverse cultural narratives through multiple artistic mediums. During his visit to Atlanta for the gala, Williams participated in several events that highlighted his evolving role as both creator and curator of cultural moments.
West African heritage takes center stage through film
Williams’ latest artistic venture, a film titled “All Day I Dream About Sport” (ADIDAS), represents his deepening exploration of cultural storytelling through visual media. Co-directed with Gabriel Moses, the film serves as a cinematic tribute to West African culture with particular emphasis on daily life in Senegal.
A special screening at The High Museum of Art attracted students from several Historically Black Colleges and Universities including Spelman College, Morehouse College and Clark Atlanta University. The event highlighted Williams’ commitment to engaging young audiences with content that celebrates African cultural heritage.
Following the screening, Williams engaged in conversation with James Whitner, founder of The Whitaker Group, in a session moderated by Aria Hughes, editor-in-chief of Complex. Their discussion explored the interconnections between fashion, music and cultural representation that form the foundation of Williams’ creative approach.
Finding passion becomes professional purpose
During the post-screening conversation, Williams offered the first of his powerful insights on creativity by emphasizing the transformative potential of aligning career with passion. He reflected on how his diverse creative outlets provide complementary channels for his artistic vision, noting that these different platforms for artistic expression have been fundamental to his identity as a creator.
His advice to young creatives resonated deeply with the student-heavy audience as he emphasized the importance of finding vocations connected to activities they love so deeply they would do them without compensation. This philosophy encapsulates Williams’ approach to his own multifaceted career, where passion serves as both motivation and guiding principle.
For many students in attendance, Williams’ path represents a masterclass in turning creative interests into sustainable careers without compromising artistic integrity. His trajectory from music producer to fashion designer to filmmaker demonstrates how centered passion can fuel decades of innovation across seemingly disparate fields.
The reducer approach transforms collaboration
Williams’ second major insight revealed his unique collaborative methodology, which he terms the reducer approach. Inspired by legendary music producer Rick Rubin, Williams explained his role in creative partnerships as being a mirror for others’ blind spots, helping collaborators see aspects of their talent they might not recognize themselves.
This philosophy positions Williams not as an imposer of his own vision but as a catalyst who helps others discover untapped creative potential within themselves. By identifying and eliminating obstacles to authentic expression, Williams enables collaborators to produce work that transcends their previous limitations.
He illustrated this point through his work with artists like Pusha T, who appears on “Mike Tyson Blow to the Face” from the ADIDAS film score. Williams described how his production style involves guiding artists toward their strengths while encouraging experimentation beyond their comfort zones.
This reducer approach has yielded some of contemporary music’s most innovative sounds and has translated successfully to Williams’ work in fashion and film. By applying the same principles across different creative disciplines, he maintains a consistent philosophy while adapting to each medium’s unique requirements.
Cultural authenticity drives creative direction
The third insight emerged through Williams’ discussion of his film’s aesthetic and narrative choices. Rather than imposing external concepts onto Senegalese culture, Williams emphasized the importance of authentic representation that emerges from within communities themselves.
During the discussion, Williams emphasized the beauty in allowing people to tell their own stories. His film deliberately centers Senegalese perspectives, using local talent both in front of and behind the camera to ensure cultural accuracy and respect for the communities portrayed.
This approach represents a significant evolution in how global brands engage with African cultures. Rather than appropriation or superficial reference, Williams advocates for meaningful collaboration that acknowledges the depth and complexity of cultural expression.
The film itself serves as a visual manifesto for this philosophy, presenting West African culture through a lens of celebration rather than exploitation. By working with local artists and community members, Williams creates space for authentic stories that might otherwise remain untold in mainstream media.
Community engagement reshapes fashion industry
James Whitner, joining Williams on stage, provided complementary insights about community-centered approaches to fashion retail.

Diddy Scores Major Victory in Lil Rod Jones Case
Last year former Bad Boy Records music producer, Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones, filed an attention grabbing lawsuit against Bad Boy Records CEO, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, accusing him of breach of contract, sixual harassment and a host of other salacious allegations
This week the majority of Rod's claims were dismissed and his attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, was reprimanded by the judge...
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the judge dismissed five of the nine claims Rodney Jones made against Diddy ... including RICO claims, infliction of emotional distress, and breach of contract claims.
The court also dismissed a Trafficking Victims Protection Act claim against Diddy's company, Combs Global.
Rodney's lawyer, Tyrone A. Blackburn, even got dressed down by the judge ... who warned him that his legal filings in the case have not been up to par.

Rodney's lawyer, Tyrone A. Blackburn, even got dressed down by the judge ... who warned him that his legal filings in the case have not been up to par.
In one example, the judge pointed to Blackburn’s filings seemingly not understanding that Diddy is presumed innocent in a separate grand jury indictment on criminal charges.
The case is still moving forward despite five of the nine claims being tossed ... and serious claims of sixual assault against Diddy were not dismissed. It will be interesting to see if these claims ever make it to trial.
Rodney's lawyer tells TMZ ... "Yeah a win is a win, playtime is over we look forward to discovery. I hope Defendants are ready."

The man responsible for the death of Atlanta rapper Trouble has pled guilty for his role in the violent crime.
Jamichael Jones entered a negotiated guilty plea to a charge of voluntary manslaughter, according to Fox 5 Atlanta. The news outlet reported that Jones’ murder trial was set to begin last week before the deal was announced. He was initially charged with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, second-degree criminal damage to property, and family violence simple battery. In his deal, the other charges were dropped as part of the plea.

“I know there are a lot of people that are really upset right now about the situation.”

Beyoncé Fans Are Unhappy With Her Madame Tussauds Wax Figure
The Madame Tussauds wax museum branch in Orlando, Florida, recently unveiled a wax figure of Beyoncé, fashioned after her current “Cowboy Carter” era. Unfortunately, fans took note of the wax statue’s appearance and commented on several inaccuracies in its recreation of the 43-year-old artist.
This wax figure of Beyoncé is seen sporting a black hat, platinum-blonde locks, a red and blue denim jacket with white strands, a white Willie Nelson T-shirt, denim shorts, and boots themed after the American flag.
Fans could not help but notice inconsistencies or issues in the wax statue’s appearance and how little it resembled the “Cowboy Carter” artist. They then aired their opinions online. “Why does she look like lil mama?” one fan commented.
“Megan Thee Stallion,” another fan commented, believing the wax statue resembled the “Hot Girl Summer” artist.
Meanwhile, other fans complained about how Madame Tussauds could not get the appearance right and pointed out flaws in the figure’s features, such as the eyes.
“Why y’all can’t never get this lady right,” one fan commented.
“I don’t like the body,” another fan wrote.
However, there were also many positive comments, commending Madame Tussauds for their work on the Beyoncé wax statue.
Madame Tussauds announced via the caption a special one-night event at Ole Red Orlando on March 29. Here, fans can celebrate Beyoncé’s wax statue’s debut before it is officially unveiled at the wax museum the following day, March 30.
On a related note, Beyoncé has been making headlines recently due to Kanye West’s violent and unsolicited online attack on her and Jay-Z’s two youngest children, Rumi and Sir. Online reports suggest that she and her music mogul husband are considering taking legal action against the Donda rapper, debating whether to handle it “privately” or in court.

Skai Jackson Responds to Criticism over Newborn Son’s Skin Tone
Skai Jackson recently addressed the unwarranted criticism surrounding her newborn son, Kasai’s complexion.
After welcoming her baby boy in January, the actress was faced with an onslaught of online comments questioning why he appeared “too pale.” Instead of letting the negativity slide, Skai took to Instagram to educate her followers about infant development, MadameNoire reports.
In her post, Skai explained that just because a baby is a few months old doesn’t mean their skin tone is fully developed.
“Just because a baby is a month, two months, even three months… that does not mean the melanin has fully kicked in,” she wrote, adding, “Two, some babies are just light-skinned, which is okay!”
Jackson called the comments “the DUMBEST thing” she’d ever seen. She also noted her decision to stop posting pictures of Kasai due to the harsh commentary.
“I usually don’t care what people say about me,” Skai confessed, “But talking about someone’s child? That’s mean!”
The former Disney star urged people to be more respectful online, saying, “I think y’all need to stop making comments about people’s children because it’s not cool at all, and y’all wouldn’t like if somebody did it to you!”
Skai previously shared a photo of Kasai’s tiny hands in a sweet post on Instagr

On Monday, the “Let Me Know” performer shared two new photos with Toni on Instagram, captioning them, “The BIGGEST and the LITTLEST @tonibraxton.”
