She has maintained a low profile since marrying her 4th husband until recently In a recent rant, Amara wrote a dissertation. SEE BELOW "I am one of the few women who still hold on to cultural and family values when it comes to marriage. In fact, my few friends say I behave like women of the 60s. I am an old soul. My dad raised me with strong cultural and Christian values. When an ex was vomiting all sorts of lies against me, I wasn’t bothered by all that was coming from him and his evil supporters, most of who are radical and frustrated feminists who hate me for my views on marriage and relationship. I saw it more like an attack from hell against my ministry.  All I said to myself was, I know who I am; God and th

Pusha T  has been grinding for a quarter century, building on the foundation he laid as part of Clipse. The rapper, who is now 41 years old, still has a lot of plans for the future, including the curation of a mixtape featuring up and coming rappers. During a recent interview, Pusha spoke about the new generation of Hip Hop and how he perceives himself within the current era of the genre. He has no plans to retire as of yet. From his perspective as a veteran emcee, the run only ends once the spark for creativity is lost. "I don’t think lyric-driven hip-hop goes out of style. I think that stays around forever, and then I feel like you retire when you’re out of the mix of it and out of the culture and lifestyle of it. When you start not caring about hip-hop aesthetics and just being first and competing, then you supposed to be like, alright cool, I’m out. But until then, I still know what’s fresh to put on and so on and so forth." While maintaining his status on the rap sce

Anyone who grew up around battle rap culture knows that there aren't many boundaries, nor are there rules.

While many argued that Pusha T went too far by dissing Drake's parents and exposing the Canadian's secret child, Meek suggested that it's all part of the game. "Ain't no such thing as going too hard. I would tell Drake that when I see him, too," he said. "I'm just tellin'

We become His influence, his hands and heart for everyone around us. God intervenes in people’s lives all the time but we seldom document this special faith and hope building events. Yesterday was a hope raising day and I’m happy I was part of it. " See more photos:
