If Hip-Hop were high school, then the personal relationships of some of its biggest names would make for some interesting cafeteria chatter. Unlike regular people, when relationships in Hip-Hop fall apart the whole world gets a front row seat to the dysfunction…. Continue

These crazy names make Blue Ivy sound like it’s as normal as Sue Beth.

Celebrities are known for crazy a$$ names for their children and these take the cake way more than Bey and Jay’s. And you wanna know the craziest part: they’re not ALL white people! Take a look.

Vanessa Vs. The World: How Does The Former Mrs. Bryant Stack Up Against His Alleged Mistresses

It doesn’t happen very often: but every once in a while rappers fall in love. And sometimes, the love lasts more than one night. And when they do, they create the kind of epic romances William Shakespeare could have never come up with.

Of course that is a major exaggeration. But Hip-Hop has given us a few couples we’ve loved to watch and and a couple we would love to see back together.

Check them out…

What part of the game is this?!?

It seems a Texas woman’s hair was a little too big for passenger screeners.

So, her flamboyant ‘fro was checked for explosives!

This the story of a woman trying to fly out of Atlanta with her hair in the upright position. Prepare for turbulence.

“I saw these people running talking about, ‘Hey lady! Stop! Stop! You! You, with the big hair’” said Isis Brantley.

Brantley is a Dallas hairdresser who counts singer Erykah Badu among her clients and specializes in natural hair. So naturally, she’s been growing hers for 20 years.

“I said, ‘What’s the problem?’ and he said, um, ‘We have to check your hair for explosives.’ I said, ‘You’re kidding me,’” She said.

She had already been through security, but when TSA agents said submit to a hair search or miss your flight, Isis submitted.

“She started digging around in my hair, several times, just touching it and digging and I said ‘Find the explosives? Do you see any?’” said Brantley.

Sounds completely out of pocket right?

Brantley got so upset she cried.

“This is humiliating and embarrassing,” she said.

[Reporter]: “Will you grant, though, that because there’s so much of your hair, you could actually be hiding something in it?”

“Was Dolly Parton hiding something in her hair? Does, or was Cher hiding something in her hair?” she said.

Touche.

TSA says that they asked Ms. Brantley if she would submit to a private screening and she vehemently refused, so they gave her the ultimatum of the search or missing the flight.

Was TSA out of pocket for patting down her afro, or is this just a safety precaution for the world we live in nowadays?

Suddenly, we feel new respect and a deep sense of confusion towards Ms. Badu.

During a promo stop for his new book yesterday, Common told Wendy Williams the story of how Erykah kicked him to the curb when their matched made in boom-bap and patchouli was over.

“I was in my hotel room on tour… and she called me and was like, ‘Hey, I don’t wanna be in this relationship no more. I’m liking somebody else,’” Common laughed Tuesday while visiting the “Wendy Williams Show.”

The rapper/actor/author said Erykah was his first real love and first heartbreak. It wasn’t a total loss, though. He said he learned a lot from the relationship and the two are now good friends.

He also said he’s now just friends with his former girlfriend and tennis star Serena Williams. While he didn’t reveal why the two broke up, he said Serena embodies everything he looks for in a woman.

“I love women that are beautiful in all shapes and sizes, but you know I do like, I have enjoyed a woman who is thick and likes to cook and strong, intelligent, still God-loving, but knows how to have fun,” he said.

Hmm… You know, it’s been said that men don’t walk away from a good woman. So…
