Beyoncé, accompanied by the Dixie Chicks, performed live on the Country Music Association Awards ceremony Wednesday night, but you wouldn’t know that if you checked any of the social channels for the awards show. The Grammy Award-winning singer performed a heel-kicking version of “Daddy Lessons,” a track off her Lemonade album, backed by a large…

Several weeks ago, Van Jones posted a Facebook Live video questioning the way in which mainstream media has been downplaying Donald Trump’s scandals. From bankruptcy to sexual assault and his ties to Russia, no one seems to really care that these dark clouds are hanging over the man running for president. But, of course, if…

Kanye West’s Tuesday night Saint Pablo Tour show wasn’t short on celebrities. But there was one teenager who definitely had the time of his life, and that was Alton Sterling’s son, Cameron Sterling. Alton Sterling was fatally shot by Baton Rouge, La., police in July and his killing was caught on camera. After his death, Cameron…

Hall, who performed the Weeknd’s song, even had the prerequisite Weeknd hair. And let’s not even forget Nyong’o. Who knew she had some moves? Take a look at both actresses’…

Lil Wayne has referred to his fair share of women as bitches and whores in his music, but the rapper wasn’t too pleased when Nightline’s Linsey Davis asked if he’d be offended if someone referred to his own daughter that way. And that’s why Wayne says he went off about Black Lives Matter. In an interview with…

Editor’s note: This post contains tweets that some may find offensive. Beyoncé is bringing some country soul to Wednesday night’s Country Music Association awards, and although the Beyhive is ecstatic, some country music fans aren’t. Beyoncé will open the show with the Dixie Chicks and more than likely will perform “Daddy Lessons.” Most country music…

Oftentimes you hear people tell others to “grow some balls” when they’re trying to encourage them to do something and not be fearful about it. Well, right now I’m going to tell men to “grow some ovaries” when it comes to whining about the side effects of birth control. If you haven’t heard, some men…

Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi are the women behind Black Lives Matter. Their relentless work over the last couple of years has been honored not only by The Root but also by Glamour magazine, which honored them as its 2016 Women of the Year.
