Love And Hip Hop Star Mendeecees Harris Sentenced To 8 Years
Mendeecees and Yandy got married on live TV in May. They are parents to 2 children.
Mendeecees Harris from the hit reality show Love & Hip Hop New York is going to jail for a long time.
The reality show star was sen- tenced Tuesday to 97 months (8 years) in jail for him role in moving cocaine and heroine to Rochester, New York.
According to reports, the 37- year-old apologized to the city of Rochester as his wife Yandy Smith and their 10-month-old daughter sat in the court room. Smith and Harris were mar- ried live on Love & Hip Hop New York earlier this year.
On Instagram, he delivered a message of responsibility and regret.
I want you all to understand something. I completely accept responsibility for all that is going on. My transition to be a better person a productive per- son started well before this case. However in my past I made some bad decisions. Young men let my life be an ex- ample to you now before it’s too late. Better who you are now in your children’s lives and in society so you can change the path of your fate. Lack of opportunities, a father- less home, the unforgiven neighborhood and circum- stances you grew up in can no longer be your excuse. Trust me I tried. And it doesn’t make the pain your family feels any different. Young man educate your self and break the cycle. Don’t become a number on the DOA (dead on arrival) list or on the incarceration list. To my wife and children you are all strong and well prepared for this. This is just another brick laid down towards our house of happily ever after , walk with your head held high knowing I would never past the buck and put another fam- ily through what we have en- dured. Continue to walk in faith and love as you’ve done so well. To my peoples thank you for all the encouragement and support please continue to encourage my family. Thank you again all.
Young Thug Says He Is Not
Biggest Autobiography
Deadbeat Dad; Just Chooses
Deal In Recent Memory
Not To Go Back To The Hood
One of the biggest autobiog- raphy deals in recent memory is nearing its conclusion. Oprah Winfrey is headed to- ward an eight-figure payday to write her remarkable life story. Flatiron Books — a division of Macmillan — is the front-run- ner.
Winfrey has co-written nu- merous books, including What I Know For Sure in 2014 for Macmillan, but this is consid- ered to be the definitive mem- oir. It went out under the cone of silence a couple of weeks ago with publishers signing non disclosure agreements.

Young Thug has gotten in another heated debate with one of his baby mamas. His baby mama @my3whatsmatters_ says that Thugger hasn’t ever done anything for their child and the $1K a month he pays in child support is nothing. Young Thug says he can’t come see his daughter because there is a bed at the door in a 2 bedroom 1 bath with 17 people. He went on to say,
“I have a mansion with 12 empty bedrooms waiting for them. I refuse to come to Cleve- land Ave, that’s called back- tracking.”
Thugger says that when he gets full custody he can see his kids everyday, but until then he will continue to pay child sup- port. They say never forget where you come from, but once you are able to remove yourself from an environment onto a better one then of course you

would no longer choose to be “in the hood.” Also when you are an artist you can’t and shouldn’t be doing some of the things that you use to do.
Ok then... Shame on him and his baby mama..their baby is the one that suffers.

Original ‘Superwoman’
The Queen And The Fresh Prince Team Up In New Movie
bSo, everyone agrees that Fantasia did an ah-maaaaz- ing job during her tribute to Babyface at the 2015 Soul Train Awards, right? ‘Tasia sang “Superwoman,” the 1989 hit song originally performed by Karyn White and written by Babyface and L.A. Reid.
However, while all who could be there performed their respective songs penned by Babyface (Tevin Camp- bell, Bobby Brown), White wasn’t there to perform hers which left many people scratching their heads.
She took to Facebook to ad- dress the reason she wasn’t in attendance, and the answer is...she doesn’t know; as it turns out, she simply wasn’t invited to do so.
A perplexed Karyn stated, "I’ve been getting questions, texts, tweets asking ‘Karyn, why weren’t you on the show? Is everything alright?’ Good question. I don’t know,” she said in the short video. She

It’s like a line from a Holly- wood playbook - the Queen teams up with The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air for a big screen drama.
Helen Mirren, who won an Oscar for her performance as Queen Elizabeth II on the big screen, 'is in talks' to star oppo- site Will Smith in Collateral Beauty, The Hollywood Re- porter said Tuesday.
The dramatic comedy tells the story of a New York adver- tising executive, played by Smith, who falls into a deep depression following a per- sonal tragedy, and Mirren will play an actress hired by his col- leagues as part of a plan to break him out of his funk.
It would mark the first time that the two Hollywood heavy- weights have made a movie to- gether.
Mirren, 70, has been nomi- nated four times for an Acad- emy Award and won once,

The album and promo is all in conjunction with Samsung, with which Rihanna signed a $25 million deal. It's not known when the album ANTI will drop, but maybe there are some clues within this diary!
Along with her album, Ri- hanna is prepping to hit the road to promote the album on the “ANTI World Tour” slated to begin in February.
