Caribbean love. Two Caribbean Queens and their men share a photo together.
Rapper Nicki Minaj and pop singer Rihanna pose with A$AP Rocky and a sexual predator.
You get a first glance of Nicki's son. Nicki and her husband, who is a convicted sexual predator have not revealed the name of their son. But I am only guessing it's probably named after the father.
The 38-year old Onika Maraj-Perry is an actress, rapper, singer, songwriter and model.
She is a Trinidadian American entertainer. The entertainer posed on social media with her BFF and the internet got lit.
Earlier this year, her father Robert (known as Omar) Maraj was killed by a drunk driver in Long Island, New York. He was walking at an intersection when a car did a hit and run. The suspect fled but later was caught. Nassau County Police held a press conference on Wednesday to announce that Charles Polevich, 71, of the U.S. territory of Guam, had turned himself into police. Polevich also has a home on Long Island.
Police were able to track the car to Polevich’s home in Mineola using various "pieces of video". They said Polevich ‘covered up’ the car in his garage and ‘did things to alter’ them being able to locate it.
Polevich was charged with leaving the scene of an auto accident with a fatality and tampering with evidence. He had no criminal record.
Detective Steven Fitzpatrick said that Polevich "was absolutely aware of what happened."
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Nicki hasn't spoken about her father's death.
Listen to Nicki Minaj, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's greatest hits on Spotify.
Rihanna is now a billionaire. Her Fenty cosmetics and fashion line are net worth of $890 million and given that the media mogul has a catalog of music hits, she's "blessed" with this title of being a Black billionaire.
Robin Rihanna Fenty is a Barbadian media mogul, fashion designer, pop singer, songwriter and actress.

Portland Proud Boy leader got a hole in his leg after he fucked around and found out. It annoys me that Black and Brown people are enabling white extremists by join these ignorance factories.
Black men are becoming less reliable in the Democratic Party. Men between the age of 35-64 and 65 or older are more conservative. This could be difficult for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Some of these Black men voted proudly for Washed Up 45.
Fucking around has a price.
Washed Up 45 spoke to them. He said language that appeals to Black men. Some of these rappers decided to endorse the former president over Biden.
Listen to how Boosie BadAzz talk about rapper Lil Nas X. He's basically doubling down on homophobia and claiming that Black families are not tolerating the "gay shit."
Live-streamers covering the protest against COVID-19 mandates near Washington’s state capitol showed Tusitala “Tiny” Toese bleeding from the foot or lower leg after five gunshots rang out in the mid-afternoon hours of Saturday, Sept. 4.
Local police taped off the scene at the Intercity Transit mall on State Avenue Northeast near Franklin Street, according to the footage, and medical personnel also responded.
Portland area Proud Boys leader Tiny Toese was shot in the leg tonight. There are conflicting reports on whether he was shot by someone else, or if he accidentally shot himself. pic.twitter.com/EoXOM22em3
Violent Proud Boy brawler Tiny Toese for years has worked directly with and built relationships with neo-Nazis, white nationalists, and anti-Semites while promoting fascist dictators like Pinochet. Here he calls for another genocide against Jews and to "round 'em up." pic.twitter.com/FrEmIG6pyr
It’s unclear who fired the shots that struck Toese, though the right-wing Proud Boys had been pursuing black-clad figures called antifa, a left-wing movement, in the minutes before the shooting.
Earlier in the day, counter-protest supporter Alissa Azar said she was physically attacked and maced by Proud Boy members. The incident wasn’t captured on camera but a video shows several right-wingers dressed for combat calling out her name and then the sound of a woman screaming.
Toese, who stands six-feet-three-inches tall and weighs more than 300 pounds, has been a regular organizer of Proud Boys events in the Portland area and is known to openly participate in street brawls, including the rally that turned into a violent clash near a shuttered Kmart in east Portland on Aug. 22.
Toese was formerly known to be a top lieutenant of Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson, but that group has been less active as Gibson faces a potential felony riot conviction.
The Vancouver, Washington resident was recently let off of probation after serving time in jail for a 2018 assault.
The suspects are still at large. If charged, the person(s) would face aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, felonious assault and improper discharge of a firearm.
The suspect is innocent until guilty in a court of law.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES!

No one wants to join his reindeer games!
The white extremist who was instrumental in getting Washed Up 45 elected is broke. A federal judge has ordered the white extremist and other entities to pay a man $2.4 million.
There was a Neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017. A white extremist from Ohio would drive his vehicle into a crowd of people in downtown Charlottesville. People were injured. But the vehicle plowed through killing Heather Heyer.
The white terrorist is facing LIFE in federal time out for his actions.
The other victim was awarded $2.4 million for the injuries inflicted on him.
Bill Burke, of Athens, Ohio, says he was struck by the terrorist during the rally. Burke was there joining a counter protest against the white extremists. The extremists were there to protest the removal of Confederate statues.
Burke had head and knee injures and a crushed arm. He still requires medical treatment and the injuries and post-traumatic stress could be permanent.
Burke sued other defendants. He sued Karen Duke and Karen Heimbach. Burke said that white extremist Karen Spencer was the key organizator of this deadly rally.
U.S. District Court Judge Michael Watson handed the gauntlet on the white nationalist.
Spencer is now owing a woman $3.2 million from Whitefish, Montana after he made her life miserable by doxxing her home and business. Tanya Gersh was award millions after Spenser went on a tirade about how a white extremist was being banned from renting a home in Whitefish.
Gersh got death threats and anti-Semitic attack against her. She is Jewish.
Gersh also sued an Ohio white nationalist named Karen Anglin who whereabouts are still unknown. He currently owes over $14 million for his attacks on her and progressive agitator/comedian Dean Obeidallah.
Spencer is now whining that his businesses are ruined. He is no longer allowed to participate in Save America rallies and his wife left him.
I say to him and the other white extremists, "Thoughts and prayers."
Pete and Chasten Buttigieg welcome their babies to the world.

Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and his husband Chasten welcome twins. He is the first openly gay member of a presidential cabinet. The Transportation Secretary took to social media to share the news.
"Chasten and I are beyond thankful for all the kind wishes since first sharing the news that we're becoming parents," the Biden Cabinet secretary posted on social media. "We are delighted to welcome Penelope Rose and Joseph August Buttigieg to our family."
Buttigieg shared last month that he and Chasten, an author and former teacher, had become first-time parents.
"The process isn't done yet and we're thankful for the love, support, and respect for our privacy that has been offered to us," he shared at the time, adding that they had wanted to grow their family for some time.
Buttigieg is currently the Department of Transportation Secretary. He was the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana and 2016 Democratic candidate for president.

NBC News announced the passing of legendary weatherman and TV personality Willard Scott. The always animated lovable and good natured personality passed away peacefully at age of 87.
The American media personality had began his role as an iconic clown. He was the early members of the Ronald McDonald club. He also had a recurring role on the TV series Valerie (titled The Hogan Family).
Scott would offer the birthdays of those who celebrate turning 100 or older on Today.
His successor on the morning news show, Al Roker, announced that Scott died peacefully Saturday morning surrounded by family. An NBC Universal spokeswoman confirmed the news. No further details were released.
We lost Willard Scott passed peacefully at 87 surrounded by family, including his daughters Sally and Mary and his lovely wife, Paris. He was truly my second dad and am where I am today because of his generous spirit. Willard was truly a broadcast #iconpic.twitter.com/uqKX3jcc8P
This @todayshow tribute to my dear friend, Willard Scott, will tell you why he was so beloved and why he was America’s Weatherman to the entire country. No broadcaster was loved by so many and brought so many smiles https://t.co/V7RqyQPN1T
“He was truly my second dad and am where I am today because of his generous spirit,” Roker wrote on Instagram. “Willard was a man of his times, the ultimate broadcaster. There will never be anyone quite like him.”
“He played such an outsized role in my life and was as warm and loving and generous off-camera as he was on,” Katie Couric tweeted.
Scott began his 65-year career at NBC as an entry-level page at an affiliate station in Washington, D.C., and rose to become the weather forecaster on the network’s flagship morning show for more than three decades. His trademark was giving on-air birthday greetings to viewers who turned 100 years old by putting their faces on Smucker’s jelly jars and delivering weather updates in zany costumes.
According to NBC, he once took up a viewer’s dare to appear in drag to win a $1,000 donation to the USO, the charity for military families, by dressing up as the Brazilian singer Carmen Miranda. The stunt wasn’t new for the genial Scott: he played Bozo the Clown when he hosted a children’s TV show in the 1960s and Ronald McDonald in commercials in the Washington area.
He often dressed as Santa Claus at the National Tree Lighting ceremony throughout the 1980s and co-anchored NBC’s coverage of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade between 1987 to 1997. In one memorable moment on live television, First Lady Barbara Bush gave him a kiss during the 1989 inauguration parade of her husband, President George H.W. Bush.
“(The president) said, ‘I didn’t know you knew Willard Scott.’ I said, ‘I don’t know Willard Scott. I just love that face.’ ” the first lady recalled.
Scott handed the reins to Roker in 1996, occasionally filling in for him for the next decade before fully retiring in 2015.
He is survived by his wife, Paris Keena, whom he married in 2014, and two daughters with Mary Dwyer Scott, his wife of 43 years until she died in 2002.

West Virginia senator is getting on my nerves. I hate bad faith politics and I hate lawmakers who do nothing but cause chaos in Washington, DC. We elected these people to represent the district or the state as a whole. Their job is to deliver results.
Far too many of them are on television showing discourse in America. I am tired of this.
Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) is one of the three headaches in the Democratic Caucus. The other two are Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). These three are the reasons to why the Democrats are struggling to get things done with the slim majority they have.
George Floyd Policing, For The People's Act, The John Lewis Voting Act and the American Jobs Plan are stalled because of this West Virginia senator who is pandering for pork.
Manchin is pulling on the bullshit narratives about deficits and debt.
Manchin has called on Democrats to take a "strategic pause" in advancing their historic $3.5 trillion budget plan, putting in peril President Biden's most ambitious effort to stabilize the U.S. economy and boost the middle class.
In an opinion piece published in the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, the West Virginia senator criticized his party as being shortsighted and hypocritical in its pursuit of passing the multitrillion-dollar budget, which Democrats see as vital to tackling climate change, child care affordability and fair housing.
"The nation faces an unprecedented array of challenges and will inevitably encounter additional crises in the future," Manchin wrote. "Yet some in Congress have a strange belief there is an infinite supply of money to deal with any current or future crisis, and that spending trillions upon trillions will have no negative consequence for the future. I disagree."
Manchin wrote that because of the challenges posed by the nation's high inflation rate as well as the unpredictable nature of the pandemic — particularly as it pertains to the rapidly emerging variants of the virus — Democrats should not "rush" to use spending as a fix for the nation's current woes. Rather, lawmakers should take a longer-term view about how today's fiscal policy could impact future generations.
Democrats have said the budget will be paid for with tax increases on corporations and the wealthy as well as other proposals.
If Manchin defects, as he has signaled before that he would, Democrats would have to sway at least one Republican to vote for the budget — a tall order in the highly partisan chamber.
"If we want to invest in America, a goal I support, then let's take the time to get it right and determine what is absolutely necessary," Manchin wrote.
The West Virginia Democrat has often been at odds with more progressive members of his party, and he has emerged as a critical swing vote. Democrats control the 50-50 Senate, with the vice president working as a tie-breaker.
