T. I. Slams Candace Owens For Supporting Trump At Revolt Summit
Major Stars Had A Hard Time Getting Into
Rihanna’s NYFW Afterparty
T. I. has long been on the front lines in the fight for equality, which he continued to advocate for during a panel at this weekend's Re- volt Summit. While fielding topics with conservative thinker (and Kanye West whisperer) Candace Owens, the rapper and Owens got into a spirited debate over her support for Trump.
During the panel, the con- versation transitioned to Trump's controversial slo- gan "Make America Great Again," which some of Trump's opponents deem racist.
"That was Ronald Rea- gan's slogan. Was it racist when Ronald Reagan had it?" Owens asked the crowd, which answered with a re- sounding "Yes." Tip then asked Owens what era of America does Trump want

the country to revert back to. "Please answer this," T. I. asked Owens. "When you say ‘Make America Great Again,’ which period are we talking about? The period when women couldn’t vote, the period when we were hanging from trees, or the crack era? Which period in America are you trying to
make America like again?" Owens then tried to evade the question by making up a false fact about America being one of the first coun- tries to free their slaves. In reality, America was one of
the last Western powers to end chattel slavery.
"Because you're making light of the enslavement of people that look like us," T. I. said when Owens asked why the crowd was booing her. "That ain't nothing you breeze over."
Along with Tip and Owens, Killer Mike, Trump advisor Katrina Pierson, and more were on the panel. The Revolt Sum- mit in Atlanta ended on Sun- day. The next summit will be held in Los Angeles on the weekend of Oct. 24.
The hottest door during Fashion Week was the after- party for Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty show at Spring Place.
According to multiple sources, the venue was packed with so many VIPs, it became a “one in, one out” situation where even big names had to wait.
One witness told Page Six, “Diplo and Skrillex had to wait . . . and even Serena Williams and A$AP Ferg were given a hard time.
Shiggy, Draymond Green, Big Sean, G-Eazy and Rich the Kid were also

'Hustlers' Wins Big As One Of Jennifer Lopez's Best Box Office Openings
"Hustlers" may not have taken the top spot at the box office, but it was arguably the weekend's biggest winner.
The film made an esti- mated $33 million at the North American box office this weekend. That was enough to give the film the No. 2 spot, but more impor- tantly than the film's ranking at the box office, "Hustlers" exceeded industry expecta- tions and its budget. It was projected to make roughly $25 million, according to the film's studio STXfilms. Its production budget was just $20 million.
The film, which stars Jennifer Lopez and Con- stance Wu as strippers who work together to fleece Wall Street brokers, has been

gaining buzz since it pre- miered at the Toronto Inter- national Film Festival earlier this month. The film has an 88% score on review site Rotten Tomatoes. The film's audience was 67% female this weekend, according to studio data.
"Hustlers" is the biggest live-action opening for
Lopez, according to Com- score. (Lopez's voice work in animated films "Home" and "Ice Age: Continental Drift" had bigger openings.) Some critics have said that Lopez's performance could also garner awards consider- ation at the Golden Globes and Oscars. She is also a pro- ducer on the film.
DJ Khaled announced his wife, Nicole Tuck, is pregnant with their second child via a heartfelt post on Instagram. The lovebirds are expecting a baby boy.
The famed producer shared a clip of Tuck, 43, undergoing an ultrasound with their two-year- old son, Asahd, supporting in the background.
“God is the greatest. All I ever wanted to do was inspire the world to be great and to leave a legacy,” blushed the New Or-
leans native.
The 43-year-old concluded
the post with his signature phrase:
“God is the greatest.
MAMA ASAHD, ASAHD
WE GOT ANOTHER ONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He shared. "ALLAH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH !!!!! MY QUEEN I LOVE YOU SO MUCH ! ASAHD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH ! And to the little boy in my QUEEN'S BELLY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH ! #WETHEBEST!
