"Hello y'all, unfortunately your girl Tamar is under the weather today and not feeling well so we need to postpone today's show (don't worry it's not COVID)," the message began. "We're sad because we had a great show lined up for you today, but next week's show is going to be even bigger and better."

"So sorry for the inconvenience, we know many of you look forward to the show every week," the statement continued. "We'll make it up to you next week."

We send our prayers for her healing! 

It can be very difficult and heart-wrenching to see a loved one struggling with symptoms of mental illness. And often it can be hard to know how to best help and support your loved one.

Every individual is different and situations vary greatly. The person may have a specific diagnosis, or you may just have concerns about the way a person has been talking and behaving. You know your loved one and may have an understanding of what approach or support will be most helpful. If you feel your loved one is at risk of hurting themselves or others, contact 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Kanye West abruptly cancels the remaining leg of his Saint Pablo Tour!


Kanye West abruptly cancels remaining leg of Saint Pablo Tour!
Kanye West has abruptly pulled the plug on his Saint Pablo Tour a few days after making statements onstage about how he "would have voted for Donald Trump" and after a stormy weekend in which he abruptly canceled a show after four songs.

A representative for the rapper said Monday the remaining dates of West's current tour have been canceled. No reason was given.
The tour, now in California and with dates through Dec. 31, had future stops in Dallas, Denver, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston, New York City and Washington, D.C., among others.

The move comes after a complex weekend for the musician, who abruptly ended a concert in Sacramento, California, on Saturday, then canceled a performance Sunday in the Los Angeles area. 
The Los Angeles Times reported that the show was canceled three hours before the show was set to begin at The Forum. Refunds would be made available, the venue tweeted. West’s label, Ticketmaster nor Live Nation have given any explanation for the cancellation.
The latest drama comes after West went on a wild rant about Trump and others at his Saturday show. Captured on video by concert-goers, West in an over 10-minute tirade told the audience he was on his "Trump (expletive) tonight." He talked about Beyonce, Jay Z, Hillary Clinton, Mark Zuckerberg, the radio and MTV at the stop of his Saint Pablo Tour.
Saturday's outburst and truncated show became a hot topic on Twitter and other social platforms Sunday morning, as amateur videos circulated of West's rant where, among other things, he said he was hurt because he heard Beyonce refused to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards unless she won Video of the Year over him. He also urged her husband Jay Z to call him and "talk to me like a man."
West took aim at radio stations for playing the same stuff "over and over and over," too and also addressed Hillary Clinton.

"It's a new world, Hillary Clinton, it's a new world," West said. "Feelings matter. Because guess what? Everybody in middle America felt a way and they showed you how they felt. Feelings matter, bro."
The performer said he was putting his life, career and "public well-standing" at risk by talking to the fans in the audience "like this," adding that his Saint Pablo tour "is the most relevant (expletive) happening."
He continued: "I am here to change things. And things won't change until people admit their own falsehoods. I got the visions, bro. That's what I've been blessed with. My vision. I'm not always going to say things the perfect way, the right way. But I'm going to say how I feel."
West’s tour was slated to resume Tuesday night in Fresno, but LA Times music writer Gerrick Kennedy reported that West had told Saint Pablo tour crew members that the remaining U.S. dates were canceled. 

Folks mental Health issues are REAL!

Meet Bishop Marvin Sapp's New Stalker! Says she's The First Lady!


Marvin Sapp responds to new stalker claiming to be his spouse: ‘She is not my wife!’
(EEW) Two years after a mentally unstable Marvin Sapp stalker named Teleka Patrick was found dead in Indiana Lake, it appears that another stalker has emerged.
The GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter is refuting the spousal claims of a woman calling herself First Lady Annisha Sapp.

“This young woman has posted and has been posing as my new wife. SHE IS NOT MY WIFE!!!!” wrote the “Yes You Can” singer on Facebook.
He continued, “The only reason why I'm posting this is not to put her on blast, however it is because she has placed a link onto her page as it pertains to my booking.”
The mysterious woman, who has been posting affectionate online messages to the preacher as recently as late June, is promoting what she’s calling “Our new Facebook business page for Bishop Marvin Sapp & First Lady Annisha Sapp.”
Additionally, she is professing her love for the pastor of Life Center Church in Grand Rapids, MI, whose wife Malinda Sapp died in 2010 of colon cancer.
“Good Morning my King,” reads a June 21 message. “I am feeling amazing right now! I had an amazing time this morning! I really enjoyed every minute down to the last drop! Thank you for loving me. You made my day baby. Loving being with a real man just how I like it/love it. Love it!”

Sapp, 49, is urging his millions of followers to make no efforts to book him through the woman’s unauthorized Facebook or Twitter pages. Furthermore, he is requesting that supporters “request from both media sites that her sites be shutdown/removed.”
Sapp’s former stalker, a 30-year-old doctor raised in New York who graduated with a medical degree and a doctorate in biochemistry from Loma Linda University in California, also believed she was married to Sapp.

Teleka Patrick
He secured a personal protection order against Patrick, alleging that the stranger had contacted his teenage children and had been to his home. He said she had joined his church after moving from California.
Kalamazoo County Sheriff Richard Fuller said Sapp was “an innocent victim of an apparent stalking” and has no evidence he ever met Patrick or had personal contact.

Well, here’s to hoping this most recent incident won’t end tragically for the woman who apparently needs mental help.

Tasha Cobbs talks depression & Says the CHURCH needs to address it!



Tasha Cobbs opens up about depression & Says the CHURCH needs to address it!
We grow up in church hearing and quoting Nehemiah 8:10, “…the joy of the Lord is your strength!”
But many Christians like Grammy® Award-winning gospel artist Tasha Cobbs struggle with depression and mental health challenges, and the singer says, the church needs to talk about it.

“Growing up, I had always had these deeply sad feelings. I assumed it was just me and there was something wrong with me. The moment I realized there was something deeper going on was in 2007 when I was the worship pastor at my church,” the “Put A Praise On It” songstress told ESSENCE.
After ministering and putting on a happy face in the sanctuary, Cobbs, 34, said, “I would go home and be under the covers, with the curtains closed, not eating, never coming out of my room for days at a time.”

She continued, “I would cry for hours. Sometimes I wouldn't even know why I was crying. It was just a heaviness that comes over you that you just cannot explain.”
Finally, Cobbs, whose latest release, One Place Live, won three Stellar Awards last week, sensed that something deeper was going on which required help. After researching depression, she said, “I immediately found a therapist so that I could begin talking about what was happening with me.”

That was a positive turning point in Cobbs’ life, who said, “Our culture and churches in general, should put more focus on depression and people who struggle with mental health. From what I've experienced in sharing my testimony with different people it's something way more prevalent than we acknowledge, and I am willing to stand on the frontline as a leader in our culture and address the mental health issues we have been ignoring.”
Though Cobbs has improved with help, family support and lots of prayer, she told ESSENCE’s Yolanda Sangweni she continues going to therapy, while, at the same time, relying on faith as her “pillar.”

“I still go to therapy. It's not as consistent as it was back then, but once a month or so, I'll meet with my therapist to make sure we're still on point,” she explained. “It's something I believe in and it's something I encourage. I believe that there are people in this earth that God has really graced to be able to help us through every situation in our lives, along with His strength, along with His power.”

The Power of admitting is the solution to healing! More power to Tasha for addressing such a serious issue!
