A$AP Rocky On VIBE’s Cover Addresses The Shooting At The Home He Shares With Rihanna. In March, Rihanna’s Los Angeles mansion was shot up.  Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were  shaken up because it’s one of the primary homes where they raise their kids. They left the property but hadn’t spoken out about the scary incident.

Rocky explained to journalist Jeff Ihaza his immediate reaction to the shooting. “It was f**ked up. It was hurtful, Someboattempted at me and my family and it was unprovoked. It was out of nowhere.” When the topic turns to how online culture leads to such intense fan interactions, Rocky says it existed before that, when people like Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio got mobbed at hotels, or even Kanye West .

He adds that, “Fans that [are] real loyal fans, and stans [who] love you that much-they gonna figure out a way to get to you, welcome you.” Rocky refuses to lump in deranged fans with real diehards. “There are mentally challenged people out there, obviously free. But in my own city, I do not feel afraid or threatened.” The alleged assailant is 35-year-old Ivanna Ortiz. She’s currently sitting in jail awaiting a competency hearing after being charged with attempted murder, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and shooting at an inhabited dwelling. She pleaded not guilty, but if found guilty, she could face life behind bars.

Intentions

by BS Staff

Karina:  “I’ve learned that on dates where the admiration is not mutual, men tend to disguise their disinterest and lead you on vaguely. Whereas, when a woman is not interested, she has a hard time pretending.  She’s usually aloof, distant, and untouchable.  But a man can kiss you goodnight and throw your number away on the way home.  It happened to me two months ago.  A first-time date took all my numbers and hasn’t called yet.  I’ve also learned that if a man is really interested, he’ll call within the first week.”MORE

The Dating Chronicles

On Second Thought

Amy sat in the dark and contemplated her choices.  After careful deliberation, she realized she had none.  Hank had laid the cards on the table.  She could either go on without him or continue to see him at his leisure.  The wedding was in two weeks and she knew without thinking that she would ease into the back of the church to finally get a glimpse of the woman she had been competing with for the past two years.    MORE

When He’s

Not Your Type

by Theo McNee

My friend Larry was angry because he called the number of a woman he’d met at the club the night before and the number turned out to be fake.  Most guys I know don’t do well with rejection, but Larry handles it badly.  “Why didn’t she just say, she wasn’t interested,” he yelled into the phone.   I attempted to explain to him that most men and women have a hard time expressing their lack of interest in the opposite sex when they cannot return the sentiment.  MORE

Q.   want to break up with my girlfriend, but I don’t know how without sounding deceitful and low-down. Here’s the problem, when we first started, both of us expressed a strong commitment to being honest in a relationship, but at this time I know I can’t because I don’t want to crush her. I am also not prepared for her insistent questions about why. I have fallen in love with someone else, and I simply can’t tell her the truth. I just want to walk away and leave her to speculate, but my conscience won’t let me. Any suggestions?.     MORE

Behind The Masks…

by Dani Stone

I once dated a guy who was quite successful at convincing me that I was very special to him.  He was super-attentive and very spontaneous about sending flowers and surprising me with concert tickets to see my favorite artists. Therefore, I was shocked to learn after several months of being involved with him that he had hit on both of my best friends and had tried to bribe my sixteen-year-old niece with $50.00 to have sex with him.    MORE

7 Steps To Feeling

Better Than Ever!

by Jan Pitts

Taking care of ourselves is a chore for some and a discipline for others.  I’ve noticed recently among my circle of friends and acquaintances that most of the women are at least 30 – 40 pounds overweight and inching towards an even larger size.  I watched one friend go from a size 4 to a size 22 in less than two years.  What happened?  Like too many single women, loneliness overcame her and food became her companion and as she admitted, her only source of pleasure.     MORE

With the endless number of social media trends, coined expressions and hashtags already taking over the New Year, the term “micro-cheating” is making a prominent scene. Micro-cheating goes hand-in-hand with the digital age and growing insecurities of young couples.  It is a term that means exactly what you think – “kind of” cheating. The grey area between being nice and flirting finally has a label.    MORE
