Black Women Owned the MTV Video Music Awards
Like Issa Rae, I watch award shows to root for everybody black. When a black person hit my screen during the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards, I turned into a proud mother who was equipped with a sign and screams filled with the happiness that comes from knowing another one of our people is achieving…

Watch Offset and Cardi B Do Anything—Like Translate Their Lyrics—for ‘Clout’
Contrary to popular belief, I’m actually pretty damn old. Sure, the gift of melanin means my black has yet to crack, but I’ve been in bed by like 8 p.m. every day this week, my sciatic nerve is well past its prime, and I have no idea what the hell “no cap” even means. So…

Women Rappers Drag Jermaine Dupri By His Nose Hairs After He Alleges They All Sound 'Like Strippers'
I have gone this far in 2019 without wondering even once what Jermaine Dupri thought about anything.

The 26-year-old rapper is…
