Ms. Keri Baby Single Again

It’s been awhile since R&B singer Keri Hilson was spotted on the arm of her longtime boyfriend, Orlando Magic’s Serge Ibaka.

Apparently Miss Keri Baby is single again.

In a telling interview with Rolling Out Magazine Keri explains,

I think I am an exception to the rule when people think of R&B “divas.” I thought I found someone who’s also an exception. It wasn’t “enthralling” for me to date an athlete. It was on my list of “not to dos” — no rappers, no actors and no ball players. I broke my rule because I thought I found someone different … It wasn’t an attraction to the status and the money.

I am no different from other women when it comes to attraction to qualities of a man. I am pretty level headed. I want someone who loves God genuinely and respects women, [is] loyal. All the same things every woman wants.

Keri and Serge began dating back in 2012.

Prince’s Label Sues Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Over Tidal Streaming

Prince’s record company is suing Jay Z’s Roc Nation copyright infringement, saying it illegally offered the late musician’s songs on its music streaming service, according to court records.

The lawsuit filed in the United States District Court in Minnesota on Tuesday by NPG Records, claims Jay Z’s Roc Nation illegally offered such Prince hits as “If I Was Your Girlfriend” and “1999” on its subscription-based streaming service, Tidal.

“Roc Nation, through its Tidal service, is exploiting many copyrighted Prince works,” according to the lawsuit.

While Tidal was authorized to offer some Prince songs to its customers, the service expanded the number around the time of the musician’s death on June 7 without approval from the Prince estate trust, it claims.

Roc Nation was not immediately available for comment on the lawsuit, which seeks undisclosed damages.

“The White-Lash Effect”

Now that the people have spoken and have chosen their leader as Donald Trump, one side is excited about the new direction of the country and others are disappointed, heartbroken and trying to figure it all out.  It seems like we as a people have worked so hard to get to where we are to feel like we are taking further steps behind.  Whatever the case, only time will tell how everything plays out.  Many have their theories and will try and justify whatever makes sense to them.  However, the most important thing we can do is educate ourselves and understand the country in which we reside.

Start with understanding the Electoral Vote.
