Pink for Billboard Magazine - 2nd November 2019!
Pink's "favourite" career moment was losing her first solo Grammy award nominations.
The 40-year-old singer - who had previously won one of the prestigious accolades for her collaboration on 'Lady Marmalade' was up for two honors in 2003 for her album 'M!ssundaztood' and single 'Get the Party Started' but lost out to Norah Jones.
Though she was initially devastated not to win, the 'So What' hitmaker soon cheered up after the "lovely" Robin Williams - who took his own life in August 2014 - made it his mission to make her smile again from his seat in front of her and she thinks her memory of the night is much better than any award.
Pink recalled to Billboard magazine: "[Robin turned around] and launched into a 15-minute stand-up routine for me. He made fun of everybody that walked by.
"He was so compassionate and lovely to me that it ended up being one of my favorite moments of my career. I was so glad I f***ing lost.
"My Grammy would be sitting down at my guesthouse collecting dust, but I have the memory of Robin Williams being an amazing person."
Pink - who has daughter Willow, eight, and son Jameson, two, with her husband Carey Hart - thinks her long career is nothing more than a "fluke".
She said: "This is the longest-running fluke in history. And I'm into it."
And despite her years of success, the 'Raise a Glass' singer still doesn't feel like she fits in with her musical peers.
She said: "I was the kid who wasn't invited over to anybody else's house because their parents hated me. You grow up with that f***ing chip on your shoulder."
#RHOA: Cynthia Bailey Confirms Her Wedding to Mike Hill Will Be Filmed for ‘RHOA’: ‘I’m in a Great Place’!
Sharing their joy! Cynthia Bailey opened up about her decision to televise her wedding to fiancé Mike Hill.
“My fans have been on my journey for 10 years. They’ve seen me get married on the show. They’ve seen all my ups and downs in my last marriage [to Peter Thomas], and they have seen me get divorced on the show. They’ve seen me date on the show,” the Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 52, told Us Weekly exclusively. “It would be totally unfair for them not to see my happily ever after. I want to share it with them because I’m in a great place and I’m happy, and they’ve seen me not always so happy.”
Bailey and Hill, 49, are in early talks when it comes to the specifics of the big day. “The only thing that we have for sure is the date, which you might have heard. We did decide the date, and we know where it’s going to be,” she revealed. “I don’t have a venue, but at least I know what state it’s going to be in, so we’re excited about that. We’re still in the beginning stages of planning everything, but you can rest assure it will be a wedding to remember, no matter how big or small it is.”
The reality star deemed the relationship a “blessing” because the pair “found each other” despite not knowing if they would ever tie the knot again. Hill was previously married twice, while Bailey split from Thomas, 59, in 2016.
The former model also hinted that the nuptials will be nothing like her ceremony with her ex-husband. “This is just a different time for me,” she explained.
Bailey and Hill got engaged in July after more than a year of dating. “I am so excited and in shock!” she told Us at the time. “I had no idea that Mike was going to propose tonight! He and our beautiful daughters and [event planner] Courtney [Ajinça] got me real good and I’m so happy that my friends and family were here to witness everything. Wow! I can’t believe it.”
The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 12 premieres on Bravo Sunday, November 3, at 8 p.m. ET.
Empire: Taraji P. Henson Sizzles in New Pic Showcasing Her ‘Hollywood Glamour Realness’!
A little glamour never hurt anybody — certainly not actress Taraji P. Henson.
The star of Fox’s music-based drama “Empire” uploaded a sultry selfie to her Instagram page Sunday showing off her glammed-up look. Retro black curls framed her face as she rocked a bold brown-burgundy-colored lip and full lashes.
“Hey 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾🙏🏾💋💋💋” the TV star captioned the Oct. 28 image.
Henson did not say much about what the context was for the glam appearance. But that was no matter, as fans readily hailed the look for the beauty she exuded.
“You’re a beautiful black queen 😍”
“Brown Skin Girl 🤩”
“😍😍 Well zamn!!!!!! 😍😍”
“🔥🔥🔥 you showing out”
“being beyond beautiful is your crime woman 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 #perfection”
Even her famous friend Tisha Campbell-Martin commented, “Hollywood glamor realness ❤️”
Henson will soon keep up the glamour, as she’s has been planning her upcoming wedding. She quietly revealed on Instagram this summer that she plans to walk down the aisle with her former Indianapolis Colts cornerback fiancé Kelvin Hayden on April 4, 2020.
At one point, it seemed Henson was taking her time with planning the ceremony.
“I don’t have a date yet,” Henson told People magazine at the top of the year. “I’m trying for the summer. I have scripts coming in, you know — you got to strike while the iron is hot — and [Hayden] is patient.”
But by the fall, the star got the ball rolling and began getting things in order for her big day.
“I don’t do samples,” she explained on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” in September. “Don’t send me swatches. I told my wedding planner make it pretty, fun, make sure the food is good and a bomb DJ. No bridal party. I’m not a bridezilla. Please, I just want to say my vows in front of people I love, eat good food and have fun. That’s it!”
While Henson is focusing her attention on her soon-to-be husband, she’s recently been in the news thanks to her ex, Lamar Odom. The two briefly dated in the late 2000s and he recently explained what led him to lose out on his relationship with the “What Men Want” star.
“Things ended with Taraji because me being an immature punk, I didn’t know how to tell her that I was falling in love with another woman named Khloé Kardashian,” he said on his episode of TVOne’s “Uncensored.”

#HipHopNews: DJ Premier Resurrects Gang Starr With "One Of The Best Yet" Album!
DJ Premier has blown the lid off the new Gang Starr album. Titled One Of The Best Yet, the historic project is a 16-track trip down memory lane with the late Guru’s unmistakable voice peppering every track.
The album, which has been years in the making, boasts a healthy amount of notable guest features, including Q-Tip, Royce Da 5’9, J. Cole, Talib Kweli and M.O.P.
“This album means everything to me,” Preemo said in a press release. “It’s a continuation of what I never wanted to end. It’s a very foreign place for me and very emotional. I get happy, sad, excited; my feelings are kind of all over the place. But predominantly, just very happy to be making music with Guru again.”
When DJ Premier first teased a new Gang Starr album on Instagram last month, everyone was in disbelief. With Guru gone, it didn’t seem possible. But behind the scenes, this was years in the making.
In September 2017, Preemo embarked on a journey with Guru’s aura and presence occupying the studio with him — not only in spiritual form but also in physical form. Throughout the process, the urn with Guru’s ashes sat on his production console as he began work on the first new Gang Starr album in 16 years — One Of The Best Yet.
“This album means everything to me,” Preemo said. “It’s a continuation of what I never wanted to end. It’s a very foreign place for me and very emotional. I get happy, sad, excited; my feelings are kind of all over the place. But predominantly, just very happy to be making music with Guru again.”
Along with the next single, “Bad Name,” Preemo has also unveiled the tracklist for the 16-track project.
Notable artists such as J. Cole, M.O.P., A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip, Royce Da 5’9, Talib Kweli, Ne-Yo and Jeru The Damaja are among the many guests on the album.
Solange Knowles and husband Alan Ferguson separate!
Solange Knowles confirmed Friday that she and her second husband, Alan Ferguson, separated earlier this year after tying the knot in late 2014.
In a long Instagram post about spiritual evolution and a desire “to live in my truth,” Beyoncé’s younger sister said the past two years have brought her more “physical and spiritual transition than ever before [and] my body left me with no choice but to listen and be still [and] within that stillness i begin my journey in confronting my worst enemy, fear.”
“ive lived my best and worst moments in front of the lens and gaze of the world since i was a teenager. ive always tried to live in my truth no matter how ugly or full of love it is … 11 years ago i met a phenomenal man who changed every existence of my life. early this year we separated and parted ways, (and tho it ain’t nan no body business 😭) i find it necessary to protect the sacredness of my personal truth and to live in it fully just as I have before and will continue to do,” the singer wrote in the post.
Solange, 33, and the music video director, 56, wed at New Orleans’ Marigny Opera House in November 2014 in front of friends and family, including Beyoncé and Jay-Z with their daughter Blue Ivy.
They do not share any children, but Solange is the mother of a 15-year-old son with ex-husband Daniel Smith.
Brandy Is the Reason Why Romeo Jones from Immature Is Blind in One Eye!
One of the biggest tales in R&B folklore is the reason why Romeo of Immature wears an eye patch. In a recent interview with Nick Cannon, the singer has revealed Brandy as the reason and says she made him blind in on eye.
Who is Romeo Jones and who else was in Immature
Immature (IMx) is an R&B group that has been active since the 1990s. It consists of Marques “Batman” Houston, Jerome “Romeo” Jones and Kelton “LDB” Kessee. Don “Half Pint” Santos was an original member and was replaced by Kessee.
Arguably, their most-known member is Marques Houston, a solo R&B singer in his own right and an actor known for his roles on Sister, Sister, You Got Served, and more. Together, the group appeared in many films and television series like House Party 3, Family Matters, and All That.
They’ve released six albums between 1992-2001, as well as an EP that was released in 2015. Their most popular song is “Never Lie,” which hit No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. As for Jones, under the name Young Rome, he released his own album in 2004, called Food for Thought.
Along with Ty Dolla $ign, Brandy also used to be a background vocalist for Immature.
Throughout most of his career, Jones has been known to wear an eyepatch. He wore it so much, fans always speculated that he had an eye condition.
Now, years, later, he has officially confirmed that the patch over his eye is due to Brandy, as the R&B singer left him blind in one eye. The incident happened when she was fighting with his former bandmate, Half Pint.
He told Nick Cannon on his new podcast, The Green Tea Livecast, “It’s true Brandy blinded me, Her and Half Pint got into [an argument]. And she had a book in her hand and tossed it back, not thinking anyone was that close. She cut my retina, detached it, [and] the lens to my eye had fell out.”
“And, actually, Brandon Adams had caught it. He was there. So he was there holding my lens, he didn’t know what was going on. Marq come in and we tryna hide it,” he continued. He was eventually taken to the hospital.
Meet the best thing to happen to fried chicken since fried chicken! Enjoy the lightest fried chicken we've ever made, no air fryer required.
This fact was actually revealed in a song
Though this is the first time he officially confirmed it in the press, many may have forgotten that Romeo named Brandy as the reason in a track from his album. He discussed the situation on the song, “Look Down on Me.”
I remember when Brandy Norwood hit me in my eye
I had a detached retina and my lens came out I had to have 3 eye surgeries
And she thought we’ll never be cool again
But I put that on my life
I love her to death
If she hear me talking, I know she can hear the honesty in my voice and my sincerity
If this tidbit of information has you feeling very nostalgic, then you can go see Immature, Ray J, B5, and J. Holliday on tour next month in numerous cities across the country.
Nicki Minaj Drags Wendy Williams Over Her Hot Topics over her Marriage!
Newlywed rapper Nicki Minaj Goes off on Wendy Williams after she focuses on Nicki's new hubby's prison record while reporting on their recent marriage...
During the Hop Topics segment of her show Wendy Williams ticked off Kennth 'Zoo' Petty's felonies, including rape and manslaughter, and bodyshamed Nicki telling her audience the rapper will look ridiculous being pregnant with all her plastic surgeries.
On Friday Nicki responded telling her Queen Radio listeners,
"It’s not about doing your job.There are people who report the news and there are people who do it with an evil intent in their heart, viciousness. And I pray for you because I know you’re hurting and I know you must be sick and humiliated."
"But I understand why now. When a women isn’t really being loved at home, the viciousness is a different type. So I really wanted to pray for you today, because look at where you are now in your life. Look at what age you are. You’re sat up there being vicious all this time, and paid for that man’s mistress all these years. You paid for her shopping sprees, you paid for her hotels—b----, you probably even paid for her GYN bills, you paid to have that baby delivered, hoe. How you doin’, stupid. Wake up, hoes."
"I know we’re human first, we’re human before we’re celebrities, we’re human before we’re personas, and I know you must have gone through a lot. But you are demonic, and that’s why this stuff unfolded. If I were you, I would go and pray, ask for forgiveness. You can report the news—people do it all the time—without the level of viciousness and trying to play dumb and doing all this nonsense."
Beyoncé is Allegedly Filming In London and looking for Brown Skin Girls for Her New Video!
Beyonce was reportedly recently in London filming her new music video “Brown Skin Girls,” hitting up several South London estates. According to DailyMail, the 38-year-old entertainer chose to shoot at several different locations in Catford and Thamesmead. Bey’s crew sought out several locations for the shoot, including a spot near a local prison - HM Prison - in Thameside.
The song, which is featured on her album The Lion King: The Gift, became an instant hit, launching a #BrownSkinGirlsChallenge on social media.
Now, you can’t shoot a music video for “Brown Skin Girls” without some brown skin girls, so her alleged casting team, according to the Daily Mail, issued a call for “black and brown people of different cultures, nationalities, ethnicities, genders, ages and backgrounds in London.”
On the track, Bey name dropped Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o and supermodel Naomi Campbell. It’s unclear if the ladies will be featured in the visuals. A source spilled to DM that it was important for Mrs. Carter to incorporate real-life brown skin girls to represent the “essence of the song.”
“She may refer to Naomi Campbell and Lupita Nyong'o in the track but she was keen to have normal people step forward and tell their stories,” a source told the publication. “Her casting team called for all different family structures to apply including 'blended, single parent, queer and adopted.”
The source continued, “Trained actors and dancers were also wanted but the main focus is on showcasing a variety of body shapes and ages, from as young as six months to the elderly. Shooting started today in London but as yet Beyoncé is only going to star in the side of the film recorded in America."
Bey's 7-year-old daughter Blue Ivy will also likely make a cameo as she is featured singing on the track. Saint Jhn and Wizkid also lend their talents on the song.
The “Brown Skin Girls” video - supposedly - is being directed by film producer Jenn Nkiru, who previously worked with Bey and her husband Jay-Z on their hit track “Apesh*t.”
We wonder if Meghan Markle was the inspiration to shoot in London. At least a lil bit.
Nothing confirmed from beys camp but y'all know making music announcements is not how she rolls. It's always a surprise
Taylor Swift Hints Mom's Health is Why She's Not Doing Major 'Lover' Tour!
Taylor Swift is explaining the reason she’s not embarking on a full world tour for Lover.
The 29-year-old “You Need To Calm Down” singer shared her thoughts in a new interview with host Zane Lowe at with Beats 1 radio. “Change happens not only in my career, but in my life,” Taylor said. “And I’ve got some pretty intense things happening with my family right now. I can’t go on long tours and not have the ability to go home if I need to. I have priorities that aren’t just touring now, and [the fans] have been really respectful of that in the past.”
“This is where the rubber meets the road and I actually have to make decisions,” Taylor added. “Where there are question marks in my life and things that are really important to me and my family, I have to be able to have some breathing room in my touring schedule and I think they kind of understand that.”
Taylor‘s mom Andrea was unfortunately diagnosed with cancer in 2015, and Taylor revealed earlier this year that she’s currently undergoing a relapse.
For Taylor Swift‘s Lover Fest East + West events, she’ll be performing at the Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles on July 25, 2020, and July 26, 2020, and Gillette Stadium in Boston on July 31, 2020, and August 1, 2020. The other dates will take place in Europe.
Jamie Foxx Sparks Romance Rumors With Model After Katie Holmes Split!
Jamie Foxx is enjoying the single life!
Earlier this week, the 51-year-old actor was spotted enjoying dinner at Mr. Chow in Los Angeles with model Dana Caprio, E! News reports.
According to the outlet, the duo also appeared together on Instagram Stories while visiting Poppy nightclub later in the week.
"They are hanging out. Mutual friends introduced them because he thought she was attractive," a source told E! News. "He's spending time with different people and not focusing on any one woman."
A second insider added that Jamie reached out to Dana on Instagram. The prove seems to be in the pudding because Jamie has, in fact, "liked" a number of Dana's photos on the social media site.
She was "definitely intrigued and excited" by Jamie's attention, the source claimed. Another added, "Jamie is definitely into her and they have a connection. They have plans to see each other again."
However, one insider said Jamie is "not looking for anything serious" at this time. Instead, he's keeping busy and "having a good time."
So, just who is this Dana Caprio? Well, according to her Instagram, she's a model signed to Wilhelmina, and she's reportedly an employee at Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump's restaurant SUR. Dana's also rumored to be a new face on the upcoming season of Vanderpump Rules.
As fans know, Jamie's longtime girlfriend Katie Holmes reportedly pulled the plug on their six-year relationship back in August. “It has been many years of him stepping out with other women,” an insider told Us Weekly at the time. “He’s disrespectful and their lives were different. His partying ways don’t fit with hers as she’s focused on raising her daughter and working.”
Mariah Carey Declares Start Of Christmas Season In Most Mariah Carey Way!
Tell Alexa to play Mariah Carey's holiday station because the Queen of Christmas has officially declared the start of the holiday season!
At the stroke of midnight on Friday (November 1), the "All I Want For Christmas" singer announced that Christmas season has begun by dropping the most Mariah Carey announcement video ever!
"Breaking news ❄️," the 49-year-old songstress captioned her announcement video that first showed her yawning while still in her Halloween costume with her phone in-hand and its screen reading 11:59 p.m. Seconds later, the clocked turned to 12:00 a.m. and Mariah was no longer in her costume, but in Reindeer pajamas as she received a call from Santa. "It's time," she sang before her classic "All I Want For Christmas" started to play in the background.
To make it extra official, the legendary songstress additionally shared a new version of her 1994 "All I Want For Christmas" music video that features unreleased footage. "Kicking off the festivities with a brand new video cut for All I Want For Christmas Is You (Unreleased Video Footage) ❄🎄 hope you like it!!!" Mariah captioned a clip of the video on Instagram.
As fans know, anticipation for Mariah to announce the start of the holiday season has been at an all-time high, partly due to Mariah's endless "not yet" videos.
For weeks, the pop culture icon has shared multiple videos that showed her playfully saying "not yet" as people asked her if it was time for Christmas music.
Lady Gaga Is Playing Patrizia Reggiani In New Gucci Murder Movie!
Lady Gaga proved she had acting chops when she starred in A Star Is Born, and now she's set to show off her talents once again in Ridley Scott's upcoming film about the murder of fashion designer Guccio Gucci's grandson.
As Variety reports, the 33-year-old will play Patrizia Reggiani, the ex-wife of Maurizio Gucci. As the outlet describes, "She had been abandoned after 12 years of marriage by Maurizio Gucci in 1985 for a younger woman. Reggiani was tried and convicted of orchestrating her ex-husband’s assassination on the steps of his office in Italy in 1995. She gained the nickname the Black Widow during the trial and served 18 years before being released from prison in 2016." The script is based on Sara Gay Forden’s book The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed.
A Star is Born earned Gaga a Best Actress Academy Award nomination and the film's hit song "Shallow" won the Oscar for Best Original Song. Though we don't have any more details about the upcoming Gucci murder movie, we can only imagine her performance will create some buzz.
Aside from her burgeoning acting career, Gaga is hard at work on her sixth studio album and electrifying Vegas with her Enigma residency.
Patti LaBelle Says She’s Making a Movie That Will Address All the People Who Have Dissed Her. It's called Patti Sad Days!
While visiting The Breakfast Club, legendary singer Patti LaBelle revealed she's making a movie that will reveal all the people who have dissed her.
In the interview, she teased the news, saying it's going to be called Patti Sad Days. "I'm going to say names!" she said.
Looks like Patti LaBelle is gearing up to step into a film producer role soon.
While visiting The Breakfast Club, the 75-year-old "Godmother of Soul" spilled the beans that she's making a movie about all the people who've dissed her. When host Charlamagne tha God asked LaBelle about her relationships in the music industry, LaBelle didn't hesitate to open up about the fact that she doesn't always get the respect she feels she deserves.
"It's not what they say, it's what they don't say," she said. "Like, I'm loving on you and hugging and stuff, and you're backing away from me. It happened two weeks ago! And I said 'Okay.'"
When Charlamagne and fellow co-host Angela Yee asked for more details about who the "younger" singer was that LaBelle hinted recently dissed her, the singer teased that everyone will be finding out all the tea soon enough.
"I'm making a movie of people who dissed me. Yes I am! I promise you, it's called Patti Sad Days. Why would I lie?" she said when The Breakfast Club hosts expressed their doubt. "I don't [lie]...but I'm going to say names.
LaBelle didn't give away too many other hints—other than the fact that letting it slip that "one of the biggest girls" who "dissed her big time" make the mistake during a BET special two years ago.
"I said hi, walking in the hallway...that heifer looked at me and walked away," she said. "I can't tell you yet. Watch my movie."
When The Breakfast Club hosts threw out names like Beyoncé, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, and Ashanti, LaBelle made it clear it wasn't any of them.
"I'm not talking. Watch my movie," she reiterated. "You'll never guess! Honest to goodness, I have a bunch of kids who look to me as their momma or their auntie, and then there's some who look at me as this singer who 'We just don't want to bang with.'"
LaBelle circled back to her new film by revealing it's already in the works and set to come out next month.
"I've already started this movie, Patti Sad Days, I produced it," she confirmed. "I'm 75, honey, I've been dissed all my life, so I get let everybody know who dissed Ms. Patti Patti. I can't even tell you who they are. It's in my movie though."
Based on all the back and forth between LaBelle and The Breakfast Club hosts, we honestly can't say we're 100 percent sure whether the icon was being serious or was just joking. But we are hoping was serious just because we need some of these juicy details.

Tamron Hall Sends the Internet into a Frenzy After Releasing Flirty Email from Prince!
Tamron Hall has talked about the close relationship she had with Prince in the past, but she’s never shared one of the messages they exchanged.
The former “Today” host spoke with Dan Piepenbring earlier this week on “The Tamron Hall” show, who co-wrote Prince’s new posthumous memoir “The Beautiful Ones.” And during the conversation, she talked about her photo being used for the late singer’s 2015 single “If Eye Could Get Ur Attention.”
“Prince called me every single morning to critique or give feedback on what I would wear,” Hall explained. “I sent him a selfie one day, and he then stole my selfie and used it as the cover for his single. I woke up the next morning, and people were like, ‘You’re all over the internet. You’re on the cover of Prince’s song ‘If Eye Could Get Ur Attention.’”
Hall then shared an email she and the “Purple Rain” singer exchanged, and it’s clear that he was flirting with her.
“Eye hate ur red dress… Y? Because it’s touching ur body and eye’m not :(” the email read.
People had a lot to say after a clip of Hall’s Prince segment was shared on YouTube, and some were impressed by the Purple One’s come-on line.
“i hate that dress. Because it’s touching u and I’m not. Thats game,” someone wrote.
“Very cool Prince story, Tamron,” another person stated.
“Prince definitely loved the ladies!” a third person chimed in. “He played the field most of his life from all that I can gather. LOL.”
It’s been over three years since the Purple One passed away at the age of 57 in his home state of Minnesota, which set off international mourning.
After his death, Hall said she talked to him for a long period of time just days prior. Prince died Thursday, April 21, 2016, and Hall spoke to him that previous Saturday.
“He assured me he was OK,” Hall told NBC News then. “All Saturday he kept saying he was fine and asked me to come to Paisley to see his new piano and for a fan party. I was working and didn’t go.”
“Monday, we exchanged emails after I sent him a video from a restaurant playing a song. I talked about how he was everywhere I go. It was a sweet moment and I had no idea it would be our last time talking. I never imagined it.”
'Brunchella' Sunday Service $55 Meal Being Compared To Fyre Festival, Food Not Part Of Kanye's Event!
People who attended Kanye West's 'Brunchella' are pissed after spending $55 on a brunch, that is now being prepared to the famous 'Fyre Festival' food.
Kanye West brought his ‘Sunday Services’ to Baton Rouge, Louisiana this weekend where he played songs from his new album ‘Jesus Is King.'
Like all of Kanye's Sunday gatherings...fans are giving praise to the born again rapper and the performances, but many are not happy with the price of attending and food provided at the event.
Patrons paid $55.00 for the ‘Brunchella’ event which accompanied the Sunday Service event.
"The food looks awful at #Brunchella but the orange juice sitting out with water still in the cases has me dying. Y’all paid $55 for this?!" one person said.
The comparison to Fyre Festival was inevitable and people started posting side by side photos of infamous meal.
"What's going on at Fyre Fest South aka #Brunchella?" one fan wrote.
During the now infamous festival a photo of the lunch made waves after ticket buyers were promised "gourmet celebrity chef meals. It turned out to be "literally bread, cheese, and salad with dressing,” one festival-goer wrote"
But, in a press release late, the event coordinator clarified the brunch was provided for ticket holders before Kanye's performance.
"On Friday, November 1, Lauryn’s Fine Catering provided brunch to Baton Rouge Sunday Service to attendees. Sunday service has no affiliation with the ‘Brunchella’ catering service. Attendees were to be provided with a hot brunch while waiting on Kanye West to perform. The catering company did not provide adequate food for ONE attendee and a social media post went viral," they said.
The continued, "Kanye West and the Sunday Service collective has no responsibility for any food complaints reported and should be disassociated with such claims.
As one person pointed out on Twitter, "Kayne not responsible for this.. The promoter is who put the brunch together.."
Quick run through the Brunch tent. Looks like the standard breakfast fare for the #Brunchella portion of the night.
A source close to the situation tells The Blast, The Bethany Church in Baton Rouge holds an annual event called “Brunchella” each year to fundraise. Kanye and his Sunday Service did perform at the event at 8pm that night.
In this case, Kanye did not receive any money to perform and was not contractually associated with the event. It was only used as the location for his ‘touring’ Sunday Service.
Kanye was not associated with ticket sales to the event, that was coordinated by the church on site.
Kanye has had a rough week in the publicity department. During an interview surrounding the release of his latest album 'Jesus is King' he took heat for his comparison of Plan B and abortion.
Kanye was accused of spreading misinformation about abortion by equating it with contraceptives like Plan B.
In the interview, with radio legend Big Boy, Kanye spoke about how legal abortion has been used by politicians to “brainwash” black women into murdering their babies.
The medical community and reproductive health organizations, were quick to respond to West’s claims trying to set the record straight.
“Plan B is not an abortion pill— it will not harm an existing pregnancy and it will not be effective if a woman is already pregnant," one organization responded.
