Hey everyone, welcome Today, I’ve got a range of topics to dive into, starting with the latest buzz surrounding Kylie Jenner. So, the grapevine has it that Kylie is expecting her second child with rapper Travis Scott. According to TMZ, she’s still in the early stages of pregnancy. Now, is this breaking news? Not really. Kylie seems to follow in her sisters’ footsteps when it comes to family planning – sticking to one father for her children. Even if she and Travis aren’t exclusive, she’s committed to having more kids with him to ensure they share the same dad. It’s a pattern we’ve seen in her family – like sister Chloe, who’s hanging onto Tristan Thompson despite his antics, just to expand her family with him. It’s a bit like what we’ve seen from their sister Courtney, who kept having kids with Scott despite knowing the relationship wasn’t perfect. Seems like the Kardashians and Jenners are keen on avoiding the stigma of being seen as just ‘baby mamas’. But let’s face it, they’re already under the spotlight for their choices in partners who don’t always step up. It’s almost like they’re treating these guys as mere sperm donors, but hey, it’s their life, and they’re living it their way.
Ken and De’Arra have made a significant announcement regarding their YouTube careers. After being a dynamic duo on the platform for over seven years and even getting engaged, they’ve decided to venture into separate channels. However, their journey has been marred by rumors, particularly concerning Ken’s alleged infidelity. Instances of him flirting with other women on camera have fueled speculation about the state of their relationship, leading some to believe they may have already parted ways.
While it seems apparent that their decision to launch separate channels could be a precursor to an official breakup announcement, it’s also a strategic move to safeguard their individual brands. Given that their collective image has been integral to their success, untangling their personal lives from their professional endeavors is undoubtedly a delicate process. De’Arra’s willingness to support Ken’s new venture despite the challenges speaks volumes about her maturity and business acumen. Opting for an amicable separation rather than letting things devolve into chaos demonstrates a commendable level of professionalism on both their parts.
As they embark on this new chapter independently, it’s essential to acknowledge the courage it takes to rebuild from scratch. While the transition may be daunting, here’s to hoping for continued success for both De’Arra and Ken in their respective YouTube endeavors.
Moving on to the latest topic, it appears Normani has been left out by the MTV Video Music Awards. Normani expressed her disappointment via Twitter, revealing that she hadn’t been invited to perform at this year’s VMAs. Cardi B joined in, advocating for Normani and Lizzo to take the stage, expressing her hopes on Twitter. Normani echoed the sentiment, stating that she hoped for the same opportunity. Despite RCA’s efforts, Normani disclosed that she hadn’t secured a performance slot yet.
While the full lineup of VMAs performers remains undisclosed, indications from these tweets suggest Normani might not be included. Joya, one of Normani’s dancers, hinted at a biased selection process, suggesting a lack of inclusion of diverse talents. Normani’s response echoed weariness with the situation.
It’s disheartening to witness Normani, a highly talented performer, sidelined from the VMAs. Her absence represents a missed opportunity for MTV to showcase her prowess, reminiscent of her electrifying 2019 “Motivation” performance. With her track “Wild Side,” Normani could undoubtedly command the stage and captivate audiences once more. MTV’s oversight is not just a loss for Normani but also a missed chance to elevate her song on a significant platform.
Here’s my take on the matter: Normani needn’t lose sleep over her absence from the VMAs stage. She’s destined for greater endeavors, and her focus should remain steadfast on her journey. If the VMAs overlook her, she possesses the power to craft her own showcase, perhaps on her YouTube platform. This path is increasingly embraced by many artists, particularly those from marginalized communities, who often find themselves sidelined by mainstream award ceremonies. Normani could explore the realm of virtual concerts, leveraging her creativity to design captivating performances, perhaps even utilizing a green room studio for added flair. Collaborating with her talented team, led by the visionary Sean Bankhead, could yield innovative concepts. Additionally, she could engage her audience through dance videos on YouTube, showcasing her artistry in an intimate yet compelling format. Expensive productions are not a prerequisite; what truly matters is the excellence of the content she shares. Normani possesses the autonomy to forge her own path, unbound by the limitations of traditional platforms. With unwavering fan support, she can confidently chart her course, knowing that her authenticity will always resonate, regardless of scale.
So, there’s this leaked clip circulating from Clubhouse where folks are discussing Normani. Apparently, some were suggesting she’s on a downward spiral. However, Tinashe stepped up to defend her. In case you’re not familiar, Tinashe, who used to be with RCA, the same label as Normani, had a tough time there. Yet, since parting ways, she’s been flourishing as an independent artist. However, the shadow of her RCA experience still looms, and people fear Normani might face similar challenges. In the Clubhouse chat, there was quite a bit of negativity, with some even suggesting Normani’s been blackballed. Tinashe, though, didn’t stand for it and spoke up for both herself and Normani during the discussion.
I believe that when it comes to being an artist, relying on validation from charts, numbers, and all those metrics can lead one astray. However, at the core, she’s an exceptional artist producing remarkable content, and I see myself in the same light. Rather than subscribing to narratives of failure or being sidelined, I choose not to engage with that energy. It’s more constructive to celebrate her talent and have discussions about her incredible contributions rather than fixating on the industry’s unfairness, particularly towards female artists.
So, that snippet was just a part of what Tinashe shared. I couldn’t grab the entire clip since I snagged it from Twitter. But she really stood up for Normani, which was unexpected. She didn’t have to get involved in that discussion, but she felt compelled to speak up, and I fully support her stance. Instead of spinning negative stories, let’s just rally behind the artists we admire. That’s all there is to it. Anyway, I’d love to hear your thoughts on this video. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe, and if you care, share this video. Thanks a bunch for tuning in, and I’ll catch you next time. Bye!”
