It appears the 15-year-old daughter that Rich Dollaz refuses to help care for is launching her own music career. And she’s doing it WITHOUT the help of her dad. Oh…and there’s more. TheYBF.com has confirmed there is an active warrant out for Rich’s arrest over back child support. And he owes A LOT. Find out how much and more inside….

There’s more child support drama brewing for “Love & Hip Hop New York” star and CEO of Dollaz Unlimited Rich Dollaz. And it’s having an effect on his 15-year-old daughter Christian (stage name Christiana Nicolle) with former fling Chaundrea Nicolle, one of Rich’s baby's mothers he owes some serious cash to and now as an active warrant out for his arrest as of April 20th.

But about the daughter he allegedly refuses to take care of… 

Rich’s daughter Christian (above, right), a 9th grader living with her mom and siblings in Tennessee, wants to get into show biz and has kicked off her singing career as Christiana Nicolle. And she’s gearing up to release her very first video. But get this… her talent manager dad has NO involvement in her budding singing career, according to Christian's mother. In fact, he allegedly has no idea his daughter is making music, which is very weird being that he has been trying his damnedst to kick off multiple aspiring singers' careers on "LAHH NY" every season. 

Rich’s daughter (the one he has only seen ONCE in her entire life) also wants to get into modeling. Now, she did talk to him about helping her with her modeling career, and he wanted to manage her, but mom shut that down! She claims she can do it better than him. Why does she think that? Well,

Chaundrea exclusively tells TheYBF.com that before Rich Dollaz became "RICH DOLLAZ," he worked for her and she totally believes she could handle her modeling career better! She spilled,

“Before he is where he is now, he use to work FOR me. I can do the same thing that Richard does, but better. I said it wouldn’t be a good idea because, show me one person…he’s always talking about these hits but I think he’s taking credit for other people.

Let us explain…Chaundrea tells us she and Rich met years ago in Memphis where she was a manager at a women’s clothing store. Back then, Rich was unemployed and needed a job, so Chaundrea HIRED him to work for her. They ended up hooking up and she got pregnant. Soon after, Rich moved away and now she has one of children. And get this...Chaundrea claims Rich has only seen her once in her life. She said when Christian was about 12-13, she drove to Atlanta so she could meet him and his family, but has not seen him since.

Growing up without a father has to be hard enough, but now, daughter Christian has to deal with her father's behavior having an effect on her social life.

Unfortunately for Christian, she’s having a hard time at school due to bullies teasing her about her father’s reality show antics and negative press about him being a deadbeat dad. Chaundrea tells us she has to keep her daughter out of school sometimes due to the bullying. She explained,

“I asked for little stuff. I asked him to put her in private school because she’s being picked on for what you did. Now, I have to keep her out of school because she almost got jumped last week. It’s just so much crazy stuff because of him."

She continued:

"She does have a little anger issue like he does, she’s angry because of what he’s doing to her. And now she feels like she has to stand up for herself because she’s getting picked on because of him. I have no sympathy for him at all.”

Sad.

So how much does he owe, you ask? Well, as of March 31st, Rich owes a total of $151,734 in back child support. Chaundrea claims Rich has only given her $500 on two separate occasions....out of the entire 15 years.

According to official court documents, he’s behind on payments as of the date above, so it appears every time he does not pay on his case, a warrant is issued for his arrest.  He then gets locked up (if they can find him). You’ll recall, he was recently arrested in February for being in arrears.

PEEP THE OFFICIAL DOCS BELOW (Click to enlarge):

Rich and Chaundrea are due back in court next month.

Owing so much money in child support, one would think that person would keep a low profile...but not Richie Rich! A few days ago, Rich snapped a selfie (atop) for Instagram and bragged about having to go to work. He said, “work work work !!!!! Airplane flow coming soon lol !!!!” Interesting.

We hear he's currently in Los Angeles busy filming...for something. And dude stays dropping cash on reality tv shows.  THIS guy....

We reached out to Rich for a statement, he declined.

TheYBF.com brings you the exclusive first look at Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker’s spin-off special “Kandi’s Ski Trip.” In the new clip, we see Kandi’s Aunt Bertha and Todd’s assistant Matthew interact and clearly, there’s no pleasing Aunt Bertha. Peep the clip inside….

Kandi Burruss and her husband Todd Tucker are gearing up for the premiere of their new BRAVO three-part special “Kandi’s Ski Trip” where the couple heads to the mountains in Colorado to work on blending their two families and resolve their own marital issues.

A few months ago, TheYBF.com tipped you off about the upcoming show and now we have the very first look at the first episode, which is set to air this Sunday.

The whole Burruss-Tucker gang is coming along for the family fun, including their daughters Riley Burruss& Kaela Tucker, Kandi’s mom Mama Joyce, Kandi’s aunts Bertha and Nora, a few of Todd’s family members and Todd's new white assistant Matthew.

In the first look at the upcoming episode, we see there’s NO pleasing Aunt Bertha. Not even a foot massage. Todd’s assistant Matthew does everything he can to make sure Aunt Bertha is comfortable and happy, offering her water to drink, a plate to eat and he he offers to rub her feet down with lotion. But she wants NO part of it.

Check it:

Be sure to tune in to "Kandi's Ski Trip" on Sunday, May 17th at 8PM ET on BRAVO.

Destiny Jones is busy making moves and carving out her own lane in the cosmetics industry, outside of being the daughter of famed rapper Nas. After releasing her brand new spring collection from her Lipmatic lip gloss line, the young entrepreneur chopped it up with TheYBF.com about being a young boss, her dad's involvement in her business, and she offered some great advice to other celebuspawns.

Find out what Destiny told us about all of those things and more inside….

Life as a rich celebrity kid seems like it would be all about endless shopping sprees in Beverly Hills, extravagant luxury vacations, hanging out with friends all day and damn near having the world at your fingertips. While some of this is true for the daughter of Queensbridge rap legend Nas, that’s not ALL this 20-year-old is doing.

Yes, Destiny Jones loves a shopping trip down Melrose that ends with sushi with her bestie, but she’s also all about her business as she heads her very own organic lip gloss collection.  She affectionately titled it Lipmatic, a play off of her dad’s classic Illmatic album.

The youngin' chopped it up with TheYBF.com about what inspired her to launch her own lip gloss line, which she credits to beibg a self-proclaimed “lip-gloss-a-holic.” So how did Destiny turn what started out as an obsession into an actual business?

“For about a year I would have different ideas, but it wasn’t until I thought of the name for it that I was ready to move forward,” she told TheYBF.com. “I thought of Lipmatic, so I told my dad and when he heard the name I think that’s when he got excited about it and we just kind of took it from there.”

Now, Destiny’s Lipmatic lip gloss is available for purchase at Lipmatic.com for $14 per lippie. And she also has a special where if you purchase 4 lippies, you can get them for a $50 package deal. Right now, Lipmatic is solely sold online but she hopes to bring it to retail soon.

You can’t be the daughter of a Hip Hop entrepreneur and not learn a thing or two about how to grind and hustle.  So how involved is Papa Jones exactly? Destiny says,

“If I have any business questions, he will help me, but other than that he lets me do it all myself.”

As she gears up to introduce more fab shades from her collection, the YBF chick called up her cousin - “black•ish” star Yara Shahidi -- to model for an upcoming campaign. (Peep a few behind-the-scenes shots HERE). When asked what it was like shooting with her little cousin, she tells us,

“It was great. Yara is such a doll. As soon as I saw her, I knew exactly what color. It was important that we made her look 15. She just looked so adorable. It was actually fun working with her. And when we would shoot together, we just kept looking at each other and laughing, so it was just natural working with her.”

Cute!

In a previous interview, Yara revealed she had no idea her cousin Nas was a big rap star, but Destiny on the other hand knew her dad had star power since she was born. She spilled,

“I was painfully aware that my dad was a star. I remember being 4-years-old and seeing him on the cover of every single magazine and I would be like ‘Look, that’s dad!’ And my mom would be like ‘Shh! Quiet.’ My whole life...I just always knew.”

So who would Destiny like to see her new lippies on? The usual suspects you could probably guess: Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Jennifer Lopez and Kerry Washington. 
 

Outside of launching and expanding her lip gloss collection, Destiny also revealed she’s gearing up to enter the acting realm, much like her cousin Yara. She told us she has been studying hard as she perfects her skills before she heads out on auditions. 

Destiny revealed this surprising info about her intense acting preparation:

“I have acting class usually in the evenings. I take two acting classes a week and they are 5 hours, so I have 10 hours of acting class a week. You have to do homework for it everyday for a hour. It’s super intense, but I think I’m getting a lot better in my skills. I definitely didn’t want to jump into acting when I’m not at my best. I wanted to be as trained as possible. And I definitely need to do more as far as like vocal lessons and dance classes just be all the way around trained. I definitely want to go into acting and start going on auditions.”

As for her dream debut role, the NYC native said she would love to play an African princess or star in a role as a strong, empowered woman. We love to hear that!

As much as Destiny has going on, it’s clear she's changed from her wild child teen days (the days her father rapped about on his "Daughters" track). We pressed her about it but she says there simply isn’t much time for boys. And even if she does find time to entertain a few, she has never let them meet her father. She stated emphatically:

“I have not introduced my dad to any boys. EVER. Right now, I’m just doing me and I’m not dating anybody.”

Smart.  Destiny, who celebrates her 21st birthday next month, offered up a few words of wisdom to other children of celebrities who are trying to create their own lane. And it was quite profound. She said,

“Stop comparing yourself to your parents. We’re NOT our parents. We’re our own people and even though they’ve set a great example for us, we have to be our own person and make our own lane. If you spend your life trying to imitate them and be just like them, you’ll always be second.”

Great advice.

It appears Ms. Jones knows exactly what she wants out of life.  We wish her nothing but the best and can’t wait to see if she rules the [beauty & acting] worlds.  Imagine that.

We've got an EXCLUSIVE clip from an upcoming episode of "Blood, Sweat and Heels" that'll surely have folks sipping their tea and conversing.  Watch newlywed Demetria Lucas D'Oyley get called out for the way she treats her co-stars...

Demetria Lucas D'Oyley is a controversial personality on "Blood, Sweat and Heels," but is it entirely her fault? Let's face it - the world can sometimes be threatened by self-assured brown girls who stand in their space and stick to their guns. What one person might call "confidence," another might deem "narcissism." Two different extremes......but you can't control how someone else experiences you.

At various points during the both seasons of "BSH," Demetria has found herself on the receiving end of the word "judgmental" or something along those lines. Is it justified? Or is she misunderstood?

In the EXCLUSIVE clip provided by Bravo, Demetria finds herself in a war of words with the newest castmember, Chantelle Fraser, who seems to have a similar "experience" a few other castmembers have had with Demetria. But we gotta ask....are Demetria's castmates the judgmental ones?

Peep the exclusive clip below:

And here's another clip from Bravo....

Daisy's "experience" with Demetria during her battle with Cancer leads her to tears.  Should Demetria be more considerate of other people's feelings...or are the other ladies up in arms about nothing?

"Blood, Sweat and Heels" airs this Sunday on Bravo at 10p ET.

Yes, she's just as beautiful in person...even while getting over a cold.   TheYBF.com sat down with BET's "The Game" star Lauren London this week to find out what we can expect from the upcoming season finale.  Oh, and we squeezed some juice out of the actress about the ATL sequel.  Get our interview inside...

She's a mom to 5-year-old Cameron Carter, considers herself entirely too grown to learn anything from her character 'Keira' on "The Game," and she wants her next move to be something she hasn't done before.

Actress Lauren London, rocking a chic Theory blouse, camel skirt and hot Isabel Marant heels, chopped it up with TheYBF.com over brunch at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills this week.  With a little prodding, we found out one thing to expect from the series finale.  And we also dished about what's really happening with ATL 2, the sequel to the movie that arguably put Lauren London on the map.

When it comes to the 30-year-old joining "The Game" on the heels of star Tia Mowry's exit, Lauren makes it crystal clear that she did not replace Tia.  She calls the "Keira Whitaker vs. Melanie Barnett" discussion an unfair comparison, and insists "Keira" has her own and separate identity.

We also got her real-life advice for her drama-in-relationships-loving character "Keira," especially since the actress is in a steady relationship herself with rapper Nipsey Hussle.  Personal questions were off limits, but we still got a little insight.

Here's the chat between YBF Correspondents Lauren Smith/Ashlee Laughlin and Lauren London:

YBF: Tell us about your character Keira's growth and this upcoming final season.

Lauren London: My character started off a little shaky. We didn't really know who she was. She didn't really know who she was. And at the end of it all, she figures it out. She goes back to what she knows works best for her. I think that's like life in general. When you lose your way, you gotta go back to the root. And she goes back to the root. So we see her making a full circle at the end. Very different than how we started, girl.

Can you give us a tidbit on what to expect in this final season?

Expect to be surprised.

So what's next for you now that "That Game" is a wrap?

We ended "The Game" right before Christmas. I've just been focusing on being a mother and trying to find out what I want to do. Trying to find a script that works for me. Something I've never done before.  ATL 2 came up so we're trying to figure that out. And there are two movies I'm up for right now.

Now, ATL 2, is that definitely in the works?

It's not definitely in the works. I don't want to be the spokesperson for it. I don't want people take my word for it. So, no.  Right now it is a concept and there's a lot of possibilities with that.

If you could add anything to the ATL script from when we last saw New-New, where do you see her going in ATL 2?

I can't give you that. That's a lot. Even my own opinion. My own opinion might be on the screen. I might have some writer credit, I don't know. [Laughs]

Oh! Ok....

I'm not saying I do, but I'm saying I may say some sh*t that I'm not supposed to. I always get in trouble.  But I would still want New-New's fashion to be…I feel like the character and all her aesthetics should remain important. Like her hair and her lipgloss, [etc.], I wouldn't want to lose that. Even though she does grow up, I think she should still be funky, fresh and spunky. I would keep that.

Your castmates on "The Game" -- Who are you closest to and who do you hang out with off screen?

In different ways I'm close to everybody.  But since I did most of my scenes with Hosea [Chanchez] and Jay [Ellis], I'm the closest to them.

So if Hosea and Jay were to get into a fight and duke it out, who would you bet on?

Uhhhh I'm gonna break that up.  Yeah, I'm not going to let them fight.  Not gonna bet on none of 'em.

Who have you learned from the most while working on the series?

Wendy! Wendy [Raquel Robinson] has been in this game the longest. She has this sense of professionalism that I think we can all learn from. Even when she's tired or a day is just rough, she holds her head up high and she gives her all till to ever scene at the last, final hour. She gives it her all.

And are there any life lessons you learned from "Keira" while playing her?

No, no! She's way too young for me to learn life lessons from. She's 20-something and I'm 30. She can learn life lessons from me! She's a BABY. Who she is in "The Game" and who I am in real life are two totally different people.

So if Keira was a real-life friend of yours, what advice would you give her?

I would tell her to focus on herself and get to know herself better before she jumps into new relationships using men for security.
 

Amen to that!  Here's the synopsis for the upcoming season:

In season 9, at the new bond between Kiera and Malik affects everyone – on and off the field. Tasha’s new child forces her to make a life changing decision where she must choose between her professional and personal life. A few careless actions off the field have major repercussions for Blue. And even after her divorce is settled, Chardonnay has trouble letting go of Jason and vows to take revenge on him. Meanwhile, Jason and Kelly make a surprising commitment as Jason’s professional career hangs in the balance.

The final season of "The Game" airs June 3rd on BET at 10pm E/T.  Are you ready for kick off?

Hey, ladies! “The Game” star Jay Ellis says he’s single...and ready to mingle! At least, that's what he told us. TheYBF.com sat down with the sexy actor to chop it up about the upcoming season finale…and a few other interesting things that made our crush grow even more.  Come inside and find out what we learned...

With BET’s “The Game” season finale right around the corner, TheYBF.com got a chance to chat it up with two of the show’s stars over brunch at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills last week.

While chopping it up with Jay Ellis who plays "Blue," the star rookie, he dropped one major nugget on us that we’re sure you ladies would love to know:  He’s single…AND he's ready to get into a serious relationship...like yesterday. That’s right ladies, Jay is looking for “HER.”  We asked (...for a friend) if he was taking applications.

The YBF actor, rocking Diesel denim, Hugo Boss boots paired with a shirt and jacket he picked up from a boutique in France, jokingly told YBF correspondents Lauren Smith and Ashlee Laughlin we should hold a speed-dating contest to help him find Mrs. Right. When asked about his relationship status, he spilled,

“Still single,” he tells the TheYBF.com. “We should do a YBF dating contest. We should like a speed date. Sitdown and do 3 minutes.”

OH?! Well Jay, if you’re serious about this speed-dating thing, we can definitely make it happen. Right ladies?

He then revealed he's ready to settle down in a real relationship telling us,

“I won’t lie, I’m ready. I just had this realization last week where I was like ‘Oh, I’m ready.’ Like I wished I had a girl with me while I was out of the country last week. And I wish I had my girl with me to experience that, you know what I mean?”

We sure do!

Jay also revealed how his on-screen relationship with Keira (played by Lauren London) helped him figure out exactly what he wants in his next relationship and what he needs to work on to be a better partner. He revealed,

“I think that’s one of the biggest things I learned from Blue was his relationship ups and downs. And really figuring out what I want and what I don’t want; where I need to compromise and where I need to grow up. I think I learned a lot through his relationship with Keira.”

So there you have it ladies. IF Jay does decide to do a YBF speed-date, we’ll definitely keep you posted.

Here are a few highlights from the rest of our chat between YBF Correspondents Lauren Smith/Ashlee Laughlin and Jay Ellis:

On what we can expect from professional baller Blue in the finale season:
“I think we see Blue grow up and become the man we always wanted him to be. He was supposed to be blueprint, the dude who made good decisions and not be the typical athlete. And for the most part, he has been the typical athlete. But this season, I think we finally get to see him grow up and choose what’s most important to him.”

“We’re going to see some sad moments. It’s going to be fall out about something. We’re going to see a shocker moment where you’re going to see him take a stand. He’s going to take a stand as a human being, not just as a player. As a human being, he takes a stand. His teammates respect and take a stand with him. It’s a very shocking moment.”

On his upcoming projects:
“I’m producing two movies. One is called 'Lemonade' [which he is also starring in]. We start production in about a month. It’s a romantic comedy, very New York. And another drama that’s a little bit further out. I’ve been writing a lot lately trying to tell different stories and kind of create my own lane. I also want to do comedy.”

On filming that crazy siuation that goes down in an elevator fight on the premiere episode (similar to the Ray Rice/Solange incidents) on “The Game”:

“[It was] stressful. You know that you’re shooting a big scene. It’s stressful in a way that you want to make sure you’re honoring what’s really happening. You want to make sure that you’re not imitating that very infamous moment that we know that happened in that elevator. You want to have a very honest moment. The emotions are super, super heightened in the hour of shooting that scene. There was a lot that went into shooting that scene.”

The final season of "The Game" premieres tomorrow night on BET at 10p ET. Stay tuned for our sitdown with Wendy Raquel Robinson where she dishes on her exciting new role, her health and beauty secrets and more!

TheYBF.com got the chance to girl-chat with one of our fave YBFers Wendy Raquel Robinson. She stars as the loud mouth and very opinionated Tasha Mack on “The Game,” but that's not all she's good at. Get the deets on her upcoming role in the Disney original movie Descendants, the inside scoop on her health and beauty secrets that keep her looking flawless and more inside...

With “The Game” going into its final season, Wendy Raquel Robinson already has her next project coming down the pipeline. She will be starring as Cruella de Vil in a Disney original movie titled, Descendants. And it premieres next month. Nice!

Over brunch at the the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills last week, the 47-year-old star (who celebrates a birthday next month) dished to YBF correspondents Lauren Smith and Ashlee Laughlin about her upcoming role and what we can expect from the film. She spilled,

“It’s called the ‘Descendants’ and it’s all about the children of the evil queen Maleficent, Cruella de Vil [101 Dalmations] and Jafar [villain from Aladdin]. It’s exciting. It comes out around my birthday. I think it comes out July 31st. “

We’re here for it!

Right now, Wendy says she open to new possibilities and reveals she wants to get behind the camera to create and tell stories. Any story she’s dying to tell? She dished,

“I’ve always had a thing for Eartha Kit. Always had a thing for Eartha Kit. I really just want to tell stories that portray women in a positive way, even though we have flaws and we go through our struggles, there’s always something redeeming and something humanistic about all of us.”

If she had any advice to give her character Tasha, she said she would tell her, “Shut up twice before you speak once. You don’t always have all the answers and it’s ok not to. Love yourself first and every man isn’t a bad man.”

The fit and trim starlet also disclosed a few of her health and beauty secrets. So how does she keep her svelte bod? She credits it to working out and genes! She said,

“I get facials, I drink my water and working out. I work out. My stress reliever is the gym. I would take my script, I would learn my lines, I answer my emails standing right there on that elliptical and before I know it 55 minutes have gone by.”

She added,

“I started out as dancer, so I still go back to that. It’s kind of in my genes. It is genetic. I don’t deprive myself. I try and work out as much as possible and it helps me stay grounded. When I don’t work out, it’s a problem.”

Nice!

Peep the newly released trailer for Wendy’s new project Descendants below:

It’s almost game time!  The final season of "The Game" airs tonight on BET at 10pm E/T.

Check out our chat with "The Game" star Lauren Londonwho spilled some tea about the ATL2 project HERE.

Photos/Interview: Lauren Smith (@laauurren_s) & Ashlee Laughlin (@hashtag_ashleee) of TheYBF.com

We're nosy as all hell when it comes to one of our fave shows "Power," and we're not the only ones.  We know you want the tea on what to expect this season (besides LaLa's upcoming topless sex scenes and the pending reveal of Angela Valdez's REAL job) .  So TheYBF.com hit the NYC red carpet season 2 premiere party of the hit Starz show to chat up our faves.  Get the video inside...

Get ready for more sex, more lies, and more scandal in season 2 of "Power."  On Tuesday night at the Best Buy Theater in NYC, the cast members dished to YBF CorrespondentJeff J. on what's next and if they'll still be riding hard for what (and who) they love this season.

We left off season 1 with Tommy Egan (Ghost's ride or die, right-hand man) finding out Ghost's side piece is a US District Attorney...who's a major threat to their illegal empire. 

Joseph Sikora told us on the carpet about his severely hot-headed character:

"It's going to be really explosive and exciting.  Tommy is that 0-60 kind of guy so we'll see if Tommy exists anywhere from 1-10 in season 2."

Ghost himself doesn't know about his side piece's 9-5 yet, but season 2 is about to get EXTRA real.  So how will he recover?  Omari Hardwick hinted that karma will indeed be a pain in Ghost's ass this season, telling us:

The biggest gangster in the world is the one who can out-think the muscle.  Kanan represents the muscle, played by "Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson, and James Ghost St. Patrick is played by me is more of a thinker.  So first and foremost, he sort of side steps people with that brain of his.  But, of course, that kind of catches up with you.  You know, karma is a bitch.  And ultimately,  season 2 becomes a lesson in karma and how it catches up with one.

If he totally figures it out, I don't know if we have a show.  So he's trying to figure out how to figure it out.

And about whether all that dapperness will help Ghost out of his epic mess:

The way he recovers is..it's always here [in his brain]. He is not only a bright character, but the brightest character I've ever played. It's been a beautiful thing for me to fill that guy's brain and mindset up with the way I think.  And whatever Omari can bring to him and adding to Courtney's incredible pen.  

Naturi Naughton dished on why her character 'Tasha St. Patrick' is on 'BBHMM' mode this season saying:

"In season 2, she starts looking out for self.  She's a little nervous about what Ghost is doing.  She doesn't know if she's going to be left broke or if he's going to leave her.  So Tasha's like: I gotta do me, I gotta get my money together, save my chips and I think she's just fighting for her life.  She's not going to go back to the streets or back in a situation where she can't provide for her family."

50 stopped by to spill on how he nailed it as an Executive Producer, especially when it comes to authenticity:

I wanted to make a project that was gritty and true to the pressures of that lifestyle.  So you'll see in season 2, it gets really intense.  You're on the edge of our seat.  You feel like law enforcement is closing in while you got things going on in the street at the same time.  In real life, people aren't always conscious of other things going on at the same time.

"Power" returns June 6th on STARZ.

This Trina Braxton & Gabe Solis divorce has gotten extremely ugly.  We have an exclusive sneak peek into tonight's episode of "Braxton Family Values" showing the latest dirty trick Trina claims Gabe has pulled....

This season of "Braxton Family Values," we're seeing Trina Braxton actually follow through with the divorce from her husband Gabe Solis.  After more than a few attempts at a divorce, this time, she's going through with it.  But based on what we've earned this season, the sisters say Gabe has not made it easy.

As ordered by divorce court, Trina and her sons must quickly move out of their home (within a few days). And on tonight's episode, Trina also discovers Gabe is allegedly messing with her finances, which could jeopardize the opening of her new bar.

It's a total doozy.  Also on the episode, Tamar and Toni check on mama Evelyn after her surgery, and worry about Trina’s divorce. Tamar is hurt when she finds out about Trina’s upcoming 40th birthday party through Toni. Traci stresses about her son’s engagement as she preps for a big showcase, and has a panic attack minutes before hitting the stage!

Check out the sneak peek below:

The episode airs on tonight (Thursday, June 4th) at 9pm ET/PT on WE.

BRAVO's "Married To Medicine" debuts this Sunday and TheYBF.com has a hot cup of tea for your viewing pleasure.  We sat down with starlet"Miss Quad" Webb and she spilled a cupful of alleged information about her co-star Lisa Nicole Cloud.

As fans of BRAVO's hit tv series "Married To Medicine" prepare to don their scrubs for Season 3, TheYBF.com sat down with outspoken starlet Quad Webb-Lunceford.  Chick is ready to spill the tea and set the record straight regarding her fall-out with frenemy Lisa Nicole Cloud (pictured below on the far left). 

As with most reality tv fights, the backstory predates the start of the show (Quad and Lisa were friends back in the day - long before BRAVO).  Quad tells TheYBF.com that she was instrumental in securing Lisa a slot on "M2M" and throughout the duration of the show's filming, they'd NEVER had an argument or a fight.  But....on May 31, 2014 - Quad found out that Lisa Nicole (her friend of several years) had run a background check on her.  CLUTCH YOUR PEARLS.  In the words of Miss Quad,"Who does that?"  

Quad (@absoutelyquad) feels that Lisa got bit by the "fame" bug and became willing to do whatever was needed to get more screen time....even at the expense of Quad's reputation.  She told us:

"It's really disappointing because she was willing to leverage our friendship.  Everyone knows that friendship is high on my priority list...and she got that background investigation on May 31 while we were still friends.  There was no need for her to do that.  We were going into the reunion last year, which we filmed on June 3rd. So apparently she was preparing herself to come at me at the reunion..."

Ouch.....is it really THAT vicious behind-the-scenes at BRAVO reunion show tapings? Quad says no.....this was totally a "Lisa Nicole" thing.  

Lisa (according to Quad) has listed a number of reasons for doing a background check on her: 1) Quad's aggressive personality 2) they share a mutual friend with past offences and 3) she considered investing in Quad's "Picture Perfect Pup" business.

Quad sums it up this way:"It was definitely [done] to be malicious and vicious."

On Season 3, we will see Lisa Nicole "introduce" her findings to the rest of the ladies.  Messy. Messy. Messy.  So how did Quad respond to this?  Like a true diva....she did HER own background investigation.  Yes, Quad did a check on herself (so she'd know everything the girls knew about her) and then she did a check on Lisa Nicole.  SIDEBAR....private investigators in Atlanta were well paid in 2014 apparently!  Ready for the tea? 

Quad hinted in her own words.

"When you open up Pandora's box....She is very unruly.  There are a couple of things.  I don't want to get too ahead of myself.  Well...let's just say she's been "BOOKED" and I don't mean at a concert or speaking engagement."

Tell us more.

"She's been a lawless villain," Quad said.

Oh really?

"She's been charged...and I don't mean American Express," Quad revealed.

When we inquired about any particular area of the law the "lawless villain" was caught up in, Quad said,

"You might want to look in the domestic area. Infidelity. Domestic.  Put two and two together."

Quad quipped, "It's something that you put in a car...and it starts with B.  Battery."

Infidelity?  Domestic battery? Sounds like Lisa Nicole's past isn't as squeaky clean as folks thought. Allegedly.  And it seems the drama will play out throughout the season.  We also reached out to Lisa Nicole for comment.

Quad tells us she's working on a collection with BCBG, and she also shot a movie called "My First Love" with Pooch Hall and Gabrielle Dennis.

Check out a sneak peek of the upcoming season below:

Season 3 of BRAVO's "Married To Medicine" premieres June 7 9/8c.

Omari Hardwick makes us swoon while watching him on "Power" every Saturday night in the hot and sticky summer.   Now, he's making us swoon off screen with talk of his real-life dad skills.  Check out our sit down with one of the hottest men on TV, as well as his on-screen mistress Lela Loren, inside....

He's ridiculously hot on screen as "the biggest motherfu*kin' drug dealer in New York City."  We admit it.  But now that he's a father to two kiddies in real life and shares his love for them often on social media, our admiration for Omari Hardwick has grown to epic proportions.

We've been dying to know how becoming a dad has affected his life, as well as how he nails this scary drug kingpin character to a tee.  So YBF Correspondent Shirley Vernae sat down with the former "Being Mary Jane" star in NYC recently to chop it up about season 2 of the hit show "Power."

When asked how becoming a dad to two kids -- his and his wife Jae's toddler daughter Nova and their newborn -- influences how he portrays his character Ghost being a family man AND a super dangerous illegal/legal business man, the actor surprisingly revealed:

"The research in the beginning of this show...I went back and watched so much of "The Cosby Show."   It's such an innate nature, before I became literally a father, as a father figure to sort of love on people. Even if they weren't, you know, my children."

He continued about his intriguing vision for Ghost:

"What I thought Bill Cosby did such a great job with, and we don't give him enough credit for it, is that it wasn't just that he had fathered the kids that played his children, he fathered an entire generation.

So what I thought was, if Ghost can be this guy that's different and larger than life in a 'bad way', then let's equal that with him being sort of a Bill Cosby who's a drug dealing king pin. And we had never seen that before. So I went in with that sort of rhythm."

And yes, it works.

As for Ghost's co-star and side chick love-interest Angela Valdes, Lela Loren (who plays Angela) told us what it was like being cast in the luckiest role on the show.  She tells us:

It was my first time ever having to be sexual [on screen], period. And having to tell that narrative. So, it was a lot of fear, anxiety, 'Am I gonna know what I'm doing?', 'How is this going to work?'." And [Omari] has such integrity and professionalism.

And how she gets through those intense and steamy sex scenes with Omari?  She says he makes it easy.  Lela tells us:

"He gives off this protective feeling. So you feel totally safe to go there and go all those places, and know that none of those lines are going to be blurred. That's what helps us have those really steamy scenes between Ghost, well Jamie, and Angela."

Mmhmmm...

"Basketball Wives" star Tami Roman has been bringing the drama on "Marriage Bootcamp Reality Stars."  We've got an exclusive sneak peek of the baby news she's giving boyfriend Reggie Youngblood on tonight's episode inside...

Tami Roman has been staunchly against having kids with her boyfriend who is 17 years her junior.  Hence, why they're on "Marriage Bootcamp Reality Stars."  The reality star's reasoning is that she's in her 40's and already has a marriage and a few kids under her belt, so she's not here for another marriage or more kids.

For some reason, her young boo thang Reggie has been dying to pro-create with her, despite her aversion to the idea.

Interestingly, on tonight's episode of the WETV show, Tami seemingly has a change of heart.  The group does an exercise where they experience what divorce court is like in order to see if the bad experience will help save their relationships from heading into that direction.  That's when Tami reveals that she may see babies...and living in Reggie's hometown of Houston...in her future.  Huh?

Check out the full synopsis of tonight's episode that also involves Tami and fellow reality star Kendra Wilkinson getting into a fight:

After a devastating audiotape blows up in the middle of boot camp, Hank remains tight-lipped as Kendra is left waiting for the truth. Day four projects more drama as Kendra and Hank become more and more separated from the group. Aubrey and Travis are hit with evidence from the directors that proves that they broke their pact, discussing the other woman in Aubrey’s life. As punishment, the tit for tat duo will be cleaning the compound’s horse stables. The stars are blindsided when they find themselves in Divorce Court, where the tough, Judge Lynn Toler lays down the law on the couples. Tami shocks the group when she flips her decision on wanting a baby with Reggie, Hank’s inability to speak up for himself is put on blast, Jeff and Jordan stand confused as they reek of communication problems, while Lauren is disappointed when Mike marinates on the decision to get married. Aubrey testifies that Travis is not the one for her and fears that Travis will flee boot camp when his emotions spiral out of control after court. Later, Tami and Kendra nearly come to blows when Tami pushes Hank for answers about the alleged affair. As everyone remains left in the dark, what will Hank choose to reveal when pressed for the truth and nowhere to hide?

Peep the sneak peek below:

Kiersey Clemons is quickly becoming one of our fave YBF chicks of the moment.  After seeing the fresh faced cutie play a not-so-hard tomboy in the new movie Dope, we HAD to meet her.  And we're loving what we've learned so far.

Check out our interview with one of the Dopest chicks of the moment inside....

21-Year-Old Kiersey Clemons is a fresh face we're loving.  While she isn't new to Hollywood, she definitely grabbed our attention in her new soon to be hit movie Dope. And we're now taking notice.

She plays "Diggy", the tomboy who can blend in just like one of the boys (when she needs to), in the new flick.  So when we spent some time chatting up the former Disney star one recent Saturday afternoon, we got to the bottom of how she nailed the role.

Kiersey already had more than a little acting experience.  She's co-starred in a few Disney channel shows like "Austin & Alley" and "Shake It Up" since 2010.  She even co-starred with Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice in the new MTV series "Eye Candy" and with Halle Berry on the new ABC show "Extant."  The L.A. native is also currently starring on Amazon's first original series called "Transparent" that's getting rave reviews.

Now, the giggly actress has a hit on her hands with Dope, and she seems to be navigating the world of the Hollywood career climb quite nicely.  Kiersey has no problem being who she is, and letting you know she won't be anything but that.  And that's refreshing to hear from someone in the younger YBF Hollywood set.

When she started our chit chat saying, "I'm young, I'm black, and I'm fabulous," we knew this would be good.  She's just the rebelliously fun and bad ass chick we thought she would be.

Kiersey tells us about her drinking policy (you can't call her an alcoholic because she's "just being 21"), her insightful take on why kid stars go crazy as grown ups, and her hot island fantasy that involves Rihanna:

YBF: You're finally 21!  Tell us what you did for your 21st birthday.

Kiersey:[Laughing continuously] "I slept! I was asleep at midnight and I was in New York. Actually, I was filming. So my cast and I, we had a wrap party actually the day after my birthday.  So I kinda got drunk after that so..." [Laughs]

"I want to go to Vegas! I haven't been to Vegas since I turned 21. I'm kind of waiting because one of my best friend's still isn't 21. She's sitting right here, right now, being a whack ass b*tch because she's only 20. But her birthday is in 10 days. So when she turns 21, the whole clique will be 21, then we can go to Vegas or something.

Yeah, we're scared of that situation when you all finally go.

"No, no I know my limits. I'm not like, a crazy drinker like that. Plus, alcohol is gross. You know what I'm saying? It tastes like ass. It's alcohol. But wine though…Just give me a glass of red wine and I'll spill my heart out to you actually. I think red wine was made for like, therapy."

"Let me tell you, we went to Sundance [Film Festival, January 2015] and I had just turned 21. And I won a year supply of wine. So they sent me a year supply of wine, which was 144 bottles or something like that, and I have 1 box left. I don't think that makes me an alcoholic....because I'm 21."

"I think my publicist is tearing up right now because I just made myself sound like I have a drinking problem, but I'm 21. So if I do have a drinking problem, after a year it would be an issue. But right now, it's excusable.

You're just being 21.
"Exactly! [Laughs]

(Left to right) Quincy Brown as Jaleel, Kiersey Clemons as Diggy, Shameik Moore as Malcolm and Tony Revolori as Jib in DOPE.

It took us a while to figure out you were actually a girl in this movie.  Tell us about transforming into a tomboyish lesbian role.
"The role was written to be very butch. And I was confused like, I'm never going to get this. My face is so babyish and round. I just don't see how this is going to happen. I don't have a deep voice but, okay, I do have this short hair.  But how do I fit the criteria of what people consider butch?"

"So I just put on some boy clothes and went in. I think it was a little easier for me to get in to the character because I'm not a tomboy, per se, but I'm also not too girlie. I'm a little rough around the edges."

"For 'Diggy', I lived with a boy so I learned a lot from him. I was watching him a lot and tried to pick up his gestures, like how he walked. And I spent a lot of time with [co-stars] Shameik [Moore] and Tony [Revolori] too. I tried to pick from them, so Diggy is a mixture of Shameik and Tony and my family and friends."

You started out doing Disney shows.  These new roles of yours are not necessarily Disney-like.  What's that transition like, or are you even transitioning at all?
"My team and I never made that decision that we're going to cut Disney off now or we're going to switch up my image. It just all works out the way it's supposed to. God granted me with what I needed to grow. And at the end of the day, that's all I'm focused on is being the person I'm supposed to be at this time and at this moment. I'm definitely not going to hold myself back to accommodate my audience. I'm still a person. And I think people forget that when they're critiquing people like Selena Gomez and Zendaya and Miley Cyrus.  They say, oh she grew up to be this or that. It's like, let this person grow at their own pace."

"I appreciate that Zendaya has stayed on Disney Channel because that's what she felt was her next move. That's where she felt comfortable in life. She doesn't feel like she's ready for that next thing. And that's OK.  Miley Cyrus felt like, 'This is my time to move on and I need to get out of this.' And that's OK. We're all people. And our jobs are not gong to rule our lives. People don't understand how actors are every day real working [people]. There's not a day that's off. Just because Friday hits doesn't mean we're not going to get a phone call or interview. It goes on."

"We have to allow ourselves to let our worlds mesh. You can't separate everything. That really stresses you out. Those are the crazy people. Not Miley Cyrus because she likes to wear funny colors and go on stage and twerk. Let her be her! The ones that go crazy are the ones that end up turning to drugs and they die at a young age and it's because they're trying to accommodate their young audience and trying to keep up a facade, like Marilyn Monroe. I'm not going to do that. At the end of the day, I love who God intended for me to be more than I love the idea of who other people want me to be. Because that's not me, that would be my ego."

We want to know your dream celebrity bestie.  We have ours, so we need to know yours to help us get a feel for who you are.
"I think....I think Rihanna is my big sister in my head. And I feel like we can go to an island together and get really tan and high."

Now THAT'S a celeb bestie fantasy.

Actors Nicole Ari Parker and Boris Kodjoe are headed to FOX with a new "He Said/She Said" style talk show.   Since they're all about talking these days, we chatted up the ridiculously good looking couple about something we've been wondering about -- how THEY avoid the "cheating" trap.   The answer and our other questions inside...

Hollywood power couple Nicole Ari Parker and Boris Kodjoe (shown above on the set of their new FOX talkshow) are heading to the small screen next week (July 6th) with a brand new talk show that they will co-host…together.

TheYBF.com caught up with the busy duo (who've been happily married with kids for 10 years) earlier this week.  Since they seem to be pros at this  We're-hot-as-hell-AND-makin-our-marriage-work-long-term thing, we had to get the tea from them on how they avoid those cheating issues (and rumors) that seem to take down plenty of Hollywood couples.

Nicole Ari Parker tells about the idea of a "cheating option" in Hollywood:

"It’s always there when things between you are your partner are a little off. If you guys are off, any sideways glance can draw you into a fit.

But when both partners have a connection and WANT to be there, and want to stay together, then there’s no reason to trip on each other. Ya know. It’s always when the other person starts acting funny that someone gets upset. If you guys are right by each other and you’re connected and you know you’re connected, NO ONE can mess with what you’ve got."

Makes sense.

Since a couple who makes coins (usually) together stays together, Boris explained to us how he and Nicole came up with the concept of their show and what they hope to accomplish.  He told us,

"We first came up with the concept of the show, five years ago as a radio show. And then last year Nicole and I thought the timing was perfect to take it to tv. We’re not reinventing the wheel. It’s a talk show. The difference is it’s both of us. Female and male perspective. Husband and wife. Mother and father. So everything we talk about whether it’s current affairs, local heroes, relationships, love, sex, parenting food, fashion – there’s always two perspectives. We rarely agree on anything. It will be interesting to see how we connect with people and how we come to conclusions on the show."

Luckily, it won't all be fluff. Boris and Nicole will also cover current affairs, hot button issues like police brutality and even the Rachel Dolezal/NAACP fallout.

Nicole joked, “And no I don’t think I’ll be playing [Rachel] in the Lifetime movie.” Ha! But she will give her two cents....

"It’s about the perspective. The news will only give you a broad update on what’s going on. But I want to hear all sides of the story. I’m from Baltimore.....so I have very deep connection to what’s going on there. I want to talk to people that are affected by what’s going on," Nicole told us.

The twosome also won't be slacking off on their duties at home.  Doting daddy Boris tells us about juggling the show, their OTHER tv and movie jobs, and the kids:

 It’s less of a balance and more of a priority. You have to set priorities and our priorities are our kids and everything else sorta falls around it. And another reason we wanted to do the talk show is it’s really tough on the family when one of us is gone for 4 or 5 months at a time to shoot a movie or a tv show somewhere else.

This tv show allows us to bring the kids to school in the morning and pick them up at night and it’s way more conducive to a healthy family life for the kids to group up without any distraction than if we travel around the world 6 months out of the year. So it's all about setting priorities and we’ve always been very clear and ready to sacrifice for our family.
 

That moment when a man is even hotter because he just flexed his Fatherhood skills...

"The Boris & Nicole Show" will premiere on Fox outlets in several markets, including New York and Los Angeles. Who’s tuning in?

She took us on an "Emotional Rollercoaster" twelve years ago....and she's still one of our girl crushes.  Inside, we're exclusively premiering Vivian Green's brand new 'Lovers' remix to her new single "Get Right Back To My Baby," plus we're catching up with the short coiffed cutie on her refreshed outlook on love....and what women should avoid in relationships (we're >><<< here, Viv).

Before Elle Varner and the likes, there was Vivian Green...the emotional & soulful R&B hottie singing about the real-life pains of love and relationships that we all could relate to.

Now, the 31-year-old is back with her fifth studio album Vivid (8/7).  Fresh off the release of her first single off the album, "Get Right Back To My Baby" (#GRBTMB), she gave us the remix to premiere here on TheYBF.com. 

But first, we had to catch up with the gorgeous Philly native and do some grown-woman-talk. Here's what she's learned about love and relationships since going through it on her previous albums:

We fell in love with you in the "Emotional Rollercoaster" days...and we still bump the track while going through drama.  Has the way you deal with romantic relationships now changed?  What can you share with your fellow ladies about what you've learned about love and relationships since the release of your debut single?
"My debut single was 12 years ago and I was 19 when I wrote it; so naturally my perspective on love is completely different. I'm a different person. That single was about my first love and I was a vulnerable young girl who didn't know anything. Now, I'm a grown woman four albums in, with a fifth (Vivid) on the way.  There were many life lessons along my journey. I'm definitely not the woman who's on Emotional Rollercoasters; not at all.

Since my first two singles: "Emotional Rollercoaster" from A Love Story and "Gotta Go Gotta Leave" from sophomore album Vivian, I've learned to never give all of my power away when in a relationship. I think this is KEY for women because we often give too much to our own detriment. Always leave some for yourself. I've also learned being single is a great time to learn about yourself.  It's good for reflection and growth."

How are you balancing staying true to your sound and the pressure of the illusion that an artist MUST have a radio record to "succeed"?
"I was afraid of my current single "Get Right Back to my Baby" at first because it's my first up-tempo single and I was nervous the fans wouldn't feel me. I'm so glad the response has been great! I honestly never felt pressure from radio. What is difficult is staying in your given "lane" or "sound," because as a creative person you want to do more than the box you were put in will allow. This is my biggest creative challenge. Sometimes I want to make music that's not R&B/Soul, but my fans most likely wouldn't feel me. As far as radio goes, I think the landscape of the industry has changed and artists don't necessarily always have to depend on radio to be successful, for example Janelle Monae, Goapele, Tech9, and Eric Roberson. So nowadays, you can have a career outside of radio which I think is cool for new artist. The industry is definitely changing.
 

Since artists are constantly inspired, which Sounds and artists are influencing your music at this very moment?
"I'm inspired by life when I create, and the artists that I grew up listening to will always be my musical inspirations.  That includes Stevie Wonder, Babyface, Michael Jackson, Whitney, Toni Braxton, Holland Dozier Holland to name a few."

We feel you Viv!

The original "GRBTMB" song and video (above) infuses the timeless Maze featuring Frankie Beverly classic "Before I Let Go."

We first learned these two were dating a few days ago when Karlie Redd announced it to the world on "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta."  Check out singer Lyfe Jennings wining and dining his new boo Karlie inside....

Looks like "Love & Hip Hop: ATL" star Karlie has officially chucked deuces to Yung Joc and has moved on.  We were skeptical after she made the announcement, but yup, it's true.

We've got the first pic of the couple out on a date after they made their debut together at Tongue & Groove the other night. 

The twosome were busy gazing into each other's eyes at STK in Atlanta. Perfect timing for those cameras, eh?  The singer has always had some sex appeal to him, so we're not too mad at it.

In case you're wondering what Lyfe has been up to, he just dropped a new album called Tree of Lyfe.  And he's about to head out on tour, peep the dates below:

Will Karlie be by his side while he's on the road?  You never know.  Time will tell...

The Miss D we see on the show, is definitely her real life persona.  At least that's the vibe we got. TheYBF.com chatted with “Bring It” coach Dianna "Miss D" Williams about all of the behind-the-scenes drama allegedly popping off at the Doll House on the hit Lifetime show. Find out how she reacted to our questions inside...

Dianna "Miss D" Williams leads an energetic hip-hop majorette dance team that stars on the hit LIFETIME docu-series “Bring It.” The tough talking yet quite talented coach and “Dancing Dolls” have been wowing viewers for over a year now with their lively dance moves and fun personalities. And we’re huge fans. 

The "DD4L" crew kicks ass and takes names in pretty much every city they roll into for competitions.  Keeping up their reputation will be harder than getting that reputation.  

This new season of the show that just kicked off this past Friday (Lifetime is calling this season 2B) is sure to bring many twists and turns, ups and downs and emotional roller coasters, if it’s anything like the previous seasons. There are new moms, new dance coaches, Sunjai& Captain Kayla have graduated, and according to Coach D, there is lots of drama!

Plenty of said drama has been going at the Doll House (her dance studio) in Jackson, Mississippi. Based on what we gather from Instagram, two members from the Dancing Dolls, Tamia (who was in the running for captain) and Shakayla, are no longer with the team and have joined their rivals the Purple Diamonds! Tamia has been very vocal on social media about what went down and why she was booted off the team.

Below is a snippet of her explaining her side of what went down via Instagram:

There's always 2 sides to every story . You heard their side (which was second hand information). Now here is our side which is 1st hand information . Now you decide!!! Facts:
1. I'm not going to even speak on her [Miss D] husband because he wasn't around to see any of the incidents or fights happen. By all means protect your wife, but speak on things you know and not here say. His accusations and so called (FACTS) are NULL AND VOID‼️ And the answer to your question (why didn't I leave the team if it was so bad?) because I love to dance and we were all supposed to be family. And in fact I don't get paid a dime to be on the show!

2. First fight the coach knew there were a group of women and their daughters outside the Dollhouse in a huddle because she just had a verbal altercation with them. The coach could have prevented the altercation but she was scared of the same people because she was in the middle of the drama herself. Instead of telling these group of women to leave the premises she folded under pressure because she just kicked 2 of the dance members off ; therefore she just let them linger around. When my sister pulled up, they immediately started talking noise to my sister and her 2friends. In the midst of words being exchange all 8 females including parents walked up on my sister and tried to jump her . With 8 people trying to jump my sister all she could've done was protect herself and fight back . Why in gods name would my sister walk up to 8 females by herself ? The fight happened by my sisters car so that lets you know that they walked up on her. After the fight , she gave me the option to either stay inside the factory or go outside to see about my family. Which one option would you have taken ?
3. As far as the gun situation, no one had one. Only 1 person claimed they saw a gun and the coach just ran with that , instead of listening to our side of the story. When this situation happened, she seized the opportunity to demote me!!

4. A particular girl that's 18 trespassed and came to where I live. My mom asked her why she wanted to fight me. She disrespected my mom and called me out my name, but I was on my way to practice and I didn't have time for the drama. Later that the same girl came to the Dollhouse and caught me off guard and tried to fight my mom and I and she brought two other girls with her. I had no control of her coming to the Dollhouse nor was I aware that she was coming up there. I didn't have control over neither fight , but the 1st one could have been avoided if proper actions were taken. The coach nor her husband were outside for either fight.

5. The team voted for me as their captain, so if I brought so much negativity to the Dollhouse and the team , why was I picked as captain ? After all this happened , why did they vote for me to come back ?

6. Why haven't the coach hired any security for the building ? The only time the Dollhouse has security is when the cameras are there. Without having security , she leaves her girls vulnerable to any outside fans or enemy's including herself.

Yikes!

So obviously, we just had to ask Miss D about it all.

TheYBF.com got the chance to chop it up with the fiesty coach recently where we asked her about all of the shocking drama unfolding. Clearly, Coach D wasn’t here for the alleged rumors and allegations and made sure we knew it.

“Well I don’t think that’s really anybody’s business,” she tells TheYBF.com. “It’s no one’s business as to what happened with two members of the organization who are no longer affiliated with the team.”

Some would say the social media postings made it everyone's business.

When we asked if Tamia and Shakayla would be returning to the upcoming season of “Bring It,” she informed us Shakayla was never apart of the battle squad (which means we won’t see her on the show), but she never mentioned anything about Tamia.  She did say:

“I’m not willing to answer that question, so you can scratch that question because I’m not going to answer that. It’s nobody’s business.”

Well, that’s that.

Since we couldn’t get that cleared up, we asked who took over as captain of the team since their last captain Kayla graduated. She wasn’t budging. She didn’t reveal who claimed the title, so we’ll just have to watch the new season to find out (even though Tamia hinted that she had the title before she ended up outside of the company).

Dianna dished to us about her own dancing start saying:

“I’ve been dancing for as long as I can remember. I started dancing at the age of 4 with tap.”

Growing up watching icons like Janet Jackson and Tina Turner is what inspired her to start her dance team. She revealed to us that it has been hard to keep up with the trending dance styles (referencing the Whip/Nae Nae), but sticking true to who she is is what has keeps her team successful.

Nice!
 

"Bring It" airs Fridays at 9/8c on LIFETIME.

TheYBF.com got the chance to chop it up with rap legend and film maker Ice Cube, his son O’Shea Jackson Jr, and more at the Hollywood red carpet premiere...

Come inside to catch the gems they dropped, plus N.W.A.'s Billboard magazine cover inside... 

Get ready for a roller coaster ride through Compton with N.W.A. as they journey from “boys in the hood” to mega stars who dominated the airwaves during the Golden Era of Hip Hop with their gritty lyrics and “gangsta” personas. STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON tells the tale of how a few friends became rap icons by sharing their experiences of what life was life in their city growing up in poverty.

Earlier this week, during the Straight Outta Compton L.A. screening at the Microsoft Theater, YBF correspondent Lauren Smith caught up with one of the film’s lead (and cutest) stars O’Shea Jackson Jr. (rocking Zenya and Jason of Beverly Hills) to chop it up with the budding actor about what it was like to portray not only a Hip Hop icon, but the person he calls dad: Ice Cube.  He also dishes on what it was like to land such a major role for his very first acting gig and how he prepared for it.

Below are the highlights:

YBF: Your first major film you're playing an icon which happens to be your father. Tell us about your experience.
OJ: You know, I'm the young guy in the group. I'm still trying to figure everything out and I'm hanging out with the older crowd so that's a parallel with me. I'm the youngest one out of the five of us but I'm new to the acting thing and I'm getting my feet wet as well, so that definitely helped me feel more attached to the role beyond him being my father.

YBF: Was it difficult being chosen for this role?
OJ: He (Ice Cube) brought it to me before there was a script because he knew I had to get a lot of experience in a short amount of time, so it was two years of auditioning. And my acting coaches, they really brought in different techniques to make one great project I feel.
 

So what does Ice Cube want viewers to take from the film?  "Have a good time and see where it all started," he told us. "Understand that we can make movies about our history at a top notch level."

And that they did.

“Basketball Wives: L.A.” star and L.A. native Shaunie O’Neal was on the scene to check out the film and to support her man Marlon Yates who stars as The D.O.C

Growing up in a neighboring city and a huge fan of N.W.A., Shaunie says the film caused feelings of nostalgia and all she wanted to do after seeing the film is go home and rock out to some classic N.W.A. tracks.

Switching gears, the “BBW” honcho dished on this season of the show a few deets on a few upcoming projects. Check the highlights below:

YBF: What did you think about the movie?
SO: It’s so good. I'm from LA and it brought back so many memories. I went to see it with one of my friends and both of us were nudging each other like ‘oooh that was by my neighborhood’ and we just wanted to get up and dance the whole time but it is so so good. I've always been a N.W.A. fan. I grew up in LA and all west coast music you're a fan of. You heard so many songs that you don't hear anymore and it made me want to go home and start pumping N.W.A. again.

YBF: Who was your favorite actor in the movie?
SO: Ice Cube's son. He did his dad perfectly. He is the little clone of Ice Cube. He was him all over again. Eazy E did a great job like I wanted to do the slow to fast clap at the end. They did an awesome job. Everybody across the board did a really good job.

YBF: How does the social injustices in the movie resonate today?
SO: It’s a lot of similarities. Watching it, even just growing up, police always used to bother the guys back in the day. Gang banging was really big then, at the same time, that was their excuse I guess to really just harass people and knowing what's going on right now and watching the movie… aint s*** change. It's still the same thing. But I think it's an eye opener because you see (men like) Ice cube; they were like our spokesmen for that time and although a lot of people didn't agree about the police and stuff like that it's somethings gotta give. Somebody's got to say something and that was their way of reaching the people and it definitely did. Some of the things I saw in the movie I didn't even know that happened. Certain things, from them performing, I didn't even know took place, so I learned a lot actually. It's a really good story.

YBF: So, what's the latest on this season of “BBW: L.A.”
SO: We’re getting great numbers. We're doing really well. The reviews are always different. Everybody has their favorite and who they’re down with, ride or die, which is fine. So every week it just depends on what's going on. If they like you, if they don't like you, it's whatever.

We've learned VOGUE magazine is about to pull off a rare move with Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o.  Deets inside...

Black has ALWAYS been Fabulous to us, and now mainstream gatekeepers of fashion, beauty and entertainment are catching on.

While Beyonce is the reigning cover girl of VOGUE and is currently slaying the September 2015 issue, the magazine is bringing the #BlackGirlMagic back to back.  This definitely doesn't happen often.

TheYBF.com has exclusively learned that VOGUE's October 2015 cover girl is Lupita Nyong'o!  

It only makes sense as she's got plenty of projects on deck: Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens is due out December 18 of this year, The Jungle Book hits screens April 15, 2016 and her lead role in Disney's Queen of Katwe will also premiere next year.  Lupita, pictured above at this month's Disney's D23 Expo, is also set to make her off-Broadway debut soon in Eclipsed, written by "Walking Dead" star Danai Gurira.

The stunning beauty made her VOGUE cover debut last year for the July 2014 issue.  We're told her October 2015 cover will be released on or around September 18th.  We're already preparing for our wigs to get snatched.
