DJ Khaled opens up about Jay-Z and Beyoncé, his son Asahd and his recent Jordan Brand collaboration
Whether he’s rocking stadiums across the U.S. with Jay-Z and Beyoncé, in the studio producing the follow-up to his many hit records (“Wild Thoughts” featuring Rihanna and Bryson Tiller, anyone?) or running his record label, We the Best Music Group, Khaled Mohamed Khaled — better known as DJ Khaled — always has something new to share with his fans and followers.
And that’s what the Grammy-nominated mega-producer and WW (formerly Weight Watchers) spokesman was doing late last month in L.A. at Shoe Palace on Melrose Avenue, promoting a sneaker collaboration with Nike’s Jordan Brand. For the occasion, Khaled dressed for comfort in a white Air Jordan tracksuit and he couldn’t help but mention how his royal blue shoes — Air Jordan IIIs originally released in 1988 — stood out against the white fabric that went to his ankles.
“Even though I’m not a basketball player,” Khaled said, “Michael Jordan inspired me to be great. He represents greatness.”
The footwear event gave Khaled, who has more than 12 million Instagram followers, a chance to spend time with fans as well as his celebrity friends, including Mark Wahlberg and Busta Rhymes. He also took questions from Joe La Puma, host of Complex’s “Sneaker Shopping” series, during the appearance.
Khaled’s fans turned out by the dozens, lining the block outside the store for a chance to meet him and purchase DJ Khaled X Jordan hoodies and tees (available at wethebeststore.com), which came with a voucher to download his forthcoming “Father of Asahd” album.
A promo ad seen ahead of Khaled’s big footwear reveal — he’s releasing two limited-edition pairs of IIIs (one style in blue leather, the other in blue suede) — featured him comically dribbling and then dunking on what appeared to be a shorter-than-NBA-regulation basketball rim. (The blue kicks also match his blue Rolls-Royce.)
His Jordan-style intensity, however, manifests itself when he’s creating new songs or performing. “I’m like that onstage and in the studio,” Khaled said. “I go hard. No days off.”

Katt Williams Unloads on Ex Hazel-E, Dubs Her an Ugly Atheist Who Hates Her Blackness
At one time, Katt Williams and Hazel-E were a happy couple, but not anymore.
Thursday, the 47-year-old comedian hurled a bunch of insults at the former reality star and said she was ugly, an atheist, and didn’t like being Black. Katt also talked about Hazel’s ex-boyfriend, who he said is just a teenager with a lengthy criminal past.
“Remember she showed up with that little boy that was like 19?” he said on Instagram Live! “That n—- was a full fledged killer, and she had that n—- out here on motherf—–’ red carpets and sh– with a bow tie on? If you don’t get 17 felonies the f— up out of the ‘Littlefoot’ premiere. You crossed the line.”
Katt and Hazel began dating in 2014 and split two years later when Katt’s home was raided by the police. Hazel said she was incredibly shaken by the incident and left the comedian immediately afterward.
But Katt said he was the one who ended things, because Hazel didn’t believe in God.
“Truthfully, that’s why I left her,” he claimed. “The b—- is a god d-mn atheist. I told her ‘Before God, I was the king of the n—–.’ This b-tch said ‘I don’t believe in God or n—–.’ I said ‘B-tch, if you don’t get your satanic, demonic, I-wanna-be-a-cracker in the face ass up outta here. I will call down the ghost of Sojourner Truth to walk up your motherf—– street. What in the Harriet Tubman is this light skinned ugly b-tch talking about? How the f— is you light skin and ugly?”
But arguably the most scathing part of Katt’s message is when he accused the former “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood” star of receiving money to fulfill sexual fetishes in Dubai.
“Hazel-E was ugly while I was f——g the b-tch,” stated Katt. “Soon as I leave, the b-tch nose is crooked. She got a under and over bite. The b—- is in Dubai getting sh– on. I love it. Fellas, if your woman goes to Dubai, you know how cleanliness is next to Godliness? Well say Du-bye to that b-tch. They giving them b-tches 10 racks to sh– on them.”
Hazel has yet to respond to Katt’s message.

Aaron Hernandez was sexually abused as young boy, report says
An investigative series by The Boston Globe revealed that former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, who killed himself in prison last year, was sexually molested as a young boy.
The previously undisclosed information came from the Globe’s “Spotlight Team” from interviews, thousands of court and government records, and text messages, emails and images Hernandez sent and received while in a Massachusetts prison, where he was serving a life sentence without parole for the 2013 slaying of onetime friend Odin Lloyd.
The newspaper’s six-part series, the first installment of which was published Saturday, included details about Hernandez’s childhood, sexuality and drug use. Among them:
• Hernandez and his brother, Jonathan, were often beaten by their father, Dennis, while growing up in Bristol, Connecticut. The beatings were sometimes related to Dennis Hernandez’s drinking.
• Aaron Hernandez started smoking marijuana in high school with a teammate before school, before football practice and after games.
• The teammate, Dennis SanSoucie, told the Globe that he had a sexual relationship with Hernandez in junior high and high school and that the two tried to hide it.
• Jonathan Hernandez told the Globe that Aaron Hernandez disclosed later in his adult life that he had been molested as a young boy. One of Aaron’s lawyers in his criminal case also said Aaron spoke to him of sexual abuse as a child. Neither was willing to identify the perpetrator to the Globe.
• Aaron Hernandez was close to a cousin, Tanya Singleton, and he was crushed when he learned that his mother, Terri, was in a serious romantic relationship with Singleton’s husband, Jeff Cummings.
The report Saturday included information gleaned from recordings of nearly 300 phone calls Hernandez made from jail over a six-month period.
Hernandez was found hanging from a bed sheet in his cell on April 19, 2017, just days after he was found not guilty of two counts of murder in the killing of two men in a drive-by shooting outside a Boston nightclub five years earlier.

Fran Drescher wants Cardi B to join her in a reboot of The Nanny
Fran Drescher is ready to make money moves with Cardi B.
On Wednesday’s episode of PeopleTV’s Chatter, Drescher revealed that she’d love to reboot her ’90s sitcom The Nanny alongside the rapper behind “Bodak Yellow” and “I Like It.”
“I want to do a sitcom with Cardi B,” Drescher said. “Wouldn’t she be great as my daughter?”
Fans have been calling for Cardi and Drescher to link up since at least December, when the rapper gave off Nanny vibes during an appearance on The Tonight Show. Cardi also shared an Instagram post paying fashion homage to the actress last month, and Drescher, 61, said all the buzz got her thinking about teaming up for a potential revival.
After all, they do have a few similarities.
“I got my juices flowing and thought, ‘Wait a minute, she’s from New York, we both have funny voices, she could be my daughter!’” Drescher said.
Drescher noted that because her onscreen love interest, Maxwell Sheffield (Charles Shaughnessy), was white, Cardi’s character would have to have a different father. Despite the biological minutiae, however, fans have been all in on the idea on Twitter.
According to Drescher, networks have little interest in a reboot of The Nanny, but she has previously mentioned discussions with co-creator and real-life ex-husband Peter Marc Jacob about getting the adventures of Fran Fine, a sassy caretaker from Flushing, Queens, back on TV.
“We’re talking about it. Peter and I are talking about it,” Drescher said in June. “We’re working on a very big project. It’s going to be very exciting for the fans, but I’m not at liberty to announce it yet. But it’s going to be big.”

Loni Love Reveals Why Tamar Braxton Was Fired
Tamar Braxton’s unceremonious exit from “The Real” two years ago has gone without explanation for some time, but now, her former co-host Loni Love has addressed what led to the singer’s firing.
Love explained on “The Breakfast Club” Friday, Oct. 12 that during the first and second seasons of their daytime talk show, she, Braxton, Tamera Mowry-Housley, Adrienne Houghton, and Jeannie Mai were all different people and didn’t know each other well. Still, Love was excited to get to work on a show for women of color and she maintained she had no involvement on who was cast. When she sat in on the auditions, she said the women who were picked were the best of those who came through.
“We had a different type of show back then,” she says. “Then season 2 happened and it was getting better but there’s something that had happened and I don’t know what happened … everybody has a different story with Tamar. My story is this.”
Love explained that as she sat with Braxton in the singer’s kitchen, Braxton said she wanted new management and asked Love for the number of Steve Harvey’s former manager, Rushion McDonald. Love gave the reality star McDonald’s number. But then, Braxton broached the subject of having her husband Vince Herbert manager her.
“I believed in her talent so much that if she asked me for something, we all sisters … even when her sisters wasn’t around, we were around for her,” Love says. “So when the incident happened when she got fired, I didn’t know about it because I went on ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ that Friday. Why would I go on ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ if I knew one of my castmates was gonna get fired that next Monday? I got a call on Saturday that said Tamar was being let go.”
Love and Houghton then explained that the women jumped into a text thread and tried to get in touch with Braxton but the star failed to respond to their inquiries and stopped talking to them.
“She put out an Instagram that she said she had been backstabbed and the first person she unfollowed was me, so people assume that I was the one [responsible],” Love explains. “And then, I know Tamar cause she’s a good person. She probably saw all the heat that I was getting, then she unfollowed Jeannie. Then, after a couple of days, she unfollowed [Mowry-Housley and Houghton]. These two was still trying to get in contact with her because they went to [Braxton’s son] Logan’s birthday party to talk to her.”
Love said she later caught a flight to Atlanta and ran into Braxton’s sister Towanda Braxton on the plane. Towanda told her an emergency episode of “Braxton Family Values” was taped that showed Herbert was pinning Tamar’s firing on her and her co-hosts.
“I called my attorney I said, ‘You gotta call WEtv and let them know that if they’re naming us, we’re going to have to have legal action because we had nothing to do with this defamation of character,” Love says.
WE tv ultimately aired a different version of the episode without “The Real” hosts being named.
“There was a blogger that actually saw the rough cut and it says Vince names us saying that we jealous — he names me specifically — and you know why he does that? Because I gave [Tamar] the number of Rushion McDonald,” Love says.
The co-hosts also confirmed that they have not spoken to Braxton ever since she left the talk show. Love also added that there was something that had fallen through for Herbert and Tamar and he tried to “save face” by pinning his now-estranged wife’s firing on the hosts.
Online, fans shared their own feelings on the matter.
“I honestly think Vincent (Tamar Ex Husband) got her fired from the Real.”
“The show boring without Tamar…”
