Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX may have the song of the summer. But the two ladies don’t have the hottest song on Vine (and, trust, considering how big social media is in 2014, it means something). No, that very unique distinction goes to Riff Raff and his soon to be smash hit “Tip Toe Wing In My […]
Keke Palmer is headed to Broadway. The 20-year-old songstress will be starring in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella. The role, which was originally played by pop star Carly Rae Jepsen, will mark the first time a black Cinderella has appeared on Broadway. Read more about Keke’s new gig here. It’s pretty obvious that Taye Diggs is a […]
Christina Milian is not the one! Rumors have been circulating for the past couple of weeks that the Young Money singer is now dating her label boss Lil Wayne, but she has made it clear that it isn’t true… for now. The two have been getting pretty close since she broke things off with her […]
Around this time last year, there was a viral phenomenon called #SmackCam. The game was pretty simple: people caught unsuspecting victims with a smack while the cameras were running. The game was already dangerous. But people kept trying to amp up the stakes by adding objects (like bottles of juice). The #SmackCam era eventually faded. But since […]
If you’ve ever “shopped while black,” you’ve been here before. Sick of white employees following him around in convenience stories, Vine user Rashid Polo decided to clap back at their racist assumption that he was stealing in one of the best ways we’ve seen in a while. Using his phone, Rashid caught the employees checking […]
If you were making a list of the greatest hip-hop duos of all time, who would be on it? Surely you would have Run and D.M.C. on that list. And there would also probably be Andre 3000 and Big Boi. Of course, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg would be at the top somewhere. And maybe your list […]
Kelis really left her mark on the world when her song “Milkshake” hit radio waves back in 2003. This week, the National Scripps Spelling Bee went down in Washington, D.C. and while the room was tense, with two contestants battling it out for the title, a judge definitely helped to relieve all of that tension. One […]
We knew this day would come. Six-year-old Vine star Lil TeRrio released his first music video for his breakout catchphrase “Oooh Killem.” Last summer, the then 5-year-old became famous on the internet when his “cousin” Maleek would post hilarious Vines of TeRrio being a typical kid (who danced non-stop). Since then, TerRio has acquired a […]
Folks, we made it; it’s Friday. Not many people make it to the end of the week. So appreciate that you’re here. Cherish this moment. Your day is going good. And now we’re here to make it better. Looking through Twitter earlier this morning, we saw the Vine you see above: a cat standing up, stretching up to […]
“One night I went to Erykah Badu house, she made tea for me.” -Drake How funny is this? Last month, Drake had the internet buzzing when he released a song titled “Days In The East.” The majority of the PARTYNEXTDOOR and 40-produced song is about his love for Rihanna, but there is one line in the […]
Last year, Gawker published a very important piece about the rise of white-on-white violence in America. The piece brought to light a dilemma that has been plaguing predominantly white communities for years. Despite the spotlight on that story, things only seem to have gotten worse. Making matters more dire, these acts of violence are being promoted by social media outlets […]
