R. Kelly:
Are congratulations in order? R. Kelly’s alleged fiancée, Joycelyn Savage, delivered a baby girl. In August, she said she was pregnant with his child, but R. Kelly’s lawyer quickly shot those claims down! MADAME NOIRE reports in Joyclen’s tell-all book she says she couldn’t have a baby, so they did IVF before he got locked up. We can’t independently confirm if it’s R. Kelly’s baby, but check out the beautiful photo.
Rihanna & A$AP Rocky:
Rihanna & A$AP Rocky revealed their baby boy. They didn’t do it willingly; the couple knew the paparazzi took photos and would release them. Since Riri knew there was nothing she could do, she wanted a black media outlet to be the first to break the story, so she first shared the photos with Hollywood Unlocked. We don’t know her son’s name, but he’s got all the swag, just like his mom and dad!
Jermaine Dupri:
Jermaine Dupri wants people to put respect on his name because, according to him, he’s responsible for southern rappers prospering on east coast radio. During an interview on The Gauds Show, Jermaine said, “The reason New York plays down south music on the radio is because of me; Bone Crusher & the YoungBloodZ were all over Hot 97 in a way that nobody could ever imagine.” Do you agree with him?
