Usher Quickly Put A Stop To Sexily Serenading A Fan Onstage After She Got Visibly Uncomfortable. In a now-viral moment from the singer’s performance in Nashville on The R&B Tour with Chris Brown on Saturday, a woman from the audience got pulled onstage as the chosen fan

Usher sings to. But as a shirtless Usher started singing to her, she looked painfully uncomfortable, though he continued to try to interact with her by lightly touching her chin and face. But when he tried to get her to recline on the onstage bed and she stiffly moved back, the 47-year-old singer pulled away. “I don’t think she want to be on the stage, huh?” he asked the audience, looking bewildered. 

Eventually, the “Yeah!” singer stepped away from her completely and waved his hand backwards towards the stage in a signal to bring the fan off, looking annoyed as some fans began to boo. The fan later took to social media to clap back at criticism she received, responding to comments that she should have never agreed to go onstage if she didn’t want to be there. “First off NOBODY is declining to go on stage, “First off NOBODY is declining to go on stage,” she wrote. “I looked good asf, you thought I wasn’t gonna let THOUSANDS of people see me?? On the big screen, where you bit***s will never be????”

Black Panther Star Chadwick Boseman’s Family Sues His Widow For Failure To Distribute His Wealth. Nearly six years after Chadwick Boseman’s death, a legal dispute has emerged within the late actor’s family. His brothers, Kevin and Derrick Boseman, have petitioned a Los Angeles court against his widow, Taylor Simone Ledward.

The Boseman family is seeking to remove Ledward as the administrator of the late ‘Black Panther’ actor’s estate. The court filing alleges that she has not fully distributed the estate’s assets despite a 2022 court order and has continued to maintain sole control over key financial matters. The brothers say the delays have prevented their parents from receiving their share of the estate.

After Boseman died without a will in August 2020, his estate was divided between his widow, Ledward, who inherited 50 percent, and his parents, who each received a 25 percent share. Ledward, who quietly married the actor shortly before his death after the couple had been together since 2015, was appointed administrator of the estate. The couple did not have children

Story Of The Week

Suddenly …

by Robin Smith

When I first saw him, I let out a low whistle.  His handsome figure stood powerfully overseeing the moving of my personal possessions like a general directing an army.  He was tall with massive shoulders and smooth skin that glistened in the sun.  I was dressed in faded jeans with a sweatshirt to match, while every inch of my hair was encased in a fat roller.  I moved quickly to improve my chances of being noticed. MORE

Q. I decided two years ago to abstain from sex until I got married. I was tired of hot nights and lonely days. Three months ago, I met a guy who has shown me a love I’ve never experienced. He’s handsome, stable, and kind, and he has asked me to marry him. He is also willing to do it without knowing me sexually. The problem is that there is something about him (I suspect he has a split personality) that tells me I would be making a mistake if I married him. For all appearances, he is everything I’d want in a husband. But I’m leery. Do you think I’m letting a loveless past influence me with doubts or should I follow my gut?    MORE

10 Things To Never

Say To Your Lover

by Jon Andes

Never…

• Watch a guy struggle in a “fix it” situation, exhibit impatience, and then say “Let me do it.”  Talk about an ego-buster!  The words should always be “Want some help, honey?”

• Voluntarily (meaning without being asked) suggest they could stand to lose a few pounds.

• Compliment the friends/associates of your honey on their physical attributes more than once within their earshot   MORE

“Women Don’t Know

What They Want!”

By Carl Leland

In my work, I talk to women frequently, who complain about the shortage of good black men.  However, I am personally aware of a number of good guys who are single and interested in marriage, but they have the hardest time getting to first base with the women who interest them. Ironically, these are the same women who are fervently looking for husbands in every crook and cranny of the road, who seldom fit the standards they are in search of.  Take my friend Jim for instance.       MORE
