Still Shading Strong: #RHOP’s Candiace Says THIS About ‘Character Assassinating’ Ashley

According to Ashley Darby, since Candiace Dillard dragged her mercilessly over her “motherhood journey” it’s shocking to hear that she wants to have a child of her own. …

On the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac, the ladies continued their trip to Madeira, Portugal that included a shade fest between two of the housewives who’d seemingly buried the hatchet.

During a sitdown, Candiace Dillard revealed that she finally felt ready to have children with her husband Chris Bassett and noted that she was uncertain at first because of her strained relationship with her mom.

“There has been a bit of change in the way that I feel about a lot of things, but I do feel like I am ready to have kids,” said Candiace. “It’s a liberating feeling,” she added wiping away tears whit her signature folded up tissue.

And while most of the ladies gushed over the idea of Candy having “baby Bassett”, Ashley Darby didn’t look too pleased.

According to Ashley, since Candiace dragged her mercilessly over her “motherhood journey” it’s shocking to hear that she wants to have a child of her own. She noted that Candiace labeled her a “concubine” and shaded her husband Michael after they suffered a miscarriage as a couple.

Ashley: “When you did say those things, Michael really was hurting, and the fact that you took that dig at him was really hard for both of us. You talked about my husband faking crying about our miscarriage.”
Candiace: “I don’t want to go backwards, I really don’t…”
Ashley: “While I am trying to bury the hatchet, I am still taken aback by the hurtful things that you said. I was going through a really hard time in my life and now, I really want to be there for you and I genuinely care about you and your motherhood journey, but I don’t want to do it under false pretenses. I am holding on to some things, I’m not over it. You violated me emotionally — the fact [that] you were questioning my intentions of having a baby …”

Candiace was watching the show in real-time and reacted to Ashley’s comments. According to Candy, Ashley has “nothing else to talk about” and she sided with someone who hinted that colorism was coming in to play with constant calls for Candiace to apologize.

What else would she have to talk about? https://t.co/p672RPzGo5

The answer is no. https://t.co/b3OICgrQQD

Candiace also blasted Ashley for what the reality star announced she would be doing next.

While on the cast trip, Ashley told Gizelle and Robyn that she had written a statement of defense for Monique following the fellow housewife’s Cabernet Combat with Candiace. Mind you, when the two ladies had their altercation at the winery, Ashley missed it completely because she was in the bathroom.

According to Ashely however, she’s going to speak up about Mo’s character—-not about what went down during the fight.

“Monique is filing a countersuit against Candiace, and I do need to tell her that Monique asked me to write a statement for her case,” said Ashley.
“But yours is just going to say you walked to the bathroom and didn’t see anything, right?” asked Robyn while alleging that Monique wants Ashley to “character assasinate” Candiace.
“Clearly, you don’t ever want to have a relationship with Candiace,” said Gizelle.
[…]
“I wrote a statement that was my truth and that’s that,” said Ashley.

YIKES.

Candiace is of course none too pleased with Ashley and thinks her fellow housewife has been actively trying to “end her.”

Next week Ashley will tell Candiace why she wrote the statement for Monique—and it apparently won’t go well. “F— you, Ashley!” Candiace says to her.

WELP!

Meek Mill Draws Mixed Reactions With Drill Take on Nico & Vinz’s “Am I Wrong”

Meek Mill has released a couple of songs that leaked online recently, giving fans a proper way to hear the tracks after they popped up over the weekend. “Philly Heathens” has been praised for its attention to street culture and youth affected by violence, but his other new album, “Am I Wrong,” has received a much more divided response.

“Philly Heathens” has been praised for its lyrics about street culture and the young people who get caught up in violence. “Am I Wrong,” however, takes a vastly different approach, remixing the song of the same name by Nico & Vinz as a drill centric interpolation.

“Am I Wrong” is now 12 years old, and its connection to the EDM sound of the time makes it especially recognizable to those who grew up with it. So Meek’s take is built on a familiar musical reference, but the response has been far from universally complimentary. A lot of the criticism has been directed at the hook. The production has also been called dated, but the track was leaked, which may explain its sound. But the strongest reactions have focused on Meek’s chorus vocals.

Some of the responses have been good, though. Some listeners felt the track was a throwback to the blog era, while others thought the criticism targeted almost entirely the hook, not the song as a whole. One Reddit commenter wrote that the track was good, but the chorus was bad, suggesting that Meek’s performance on the rest of the song was better than the reception to the hook may suggest.

The different reactions demonstrate the contrast between Meek’s two new leaks. “Philly Heathens” has resonated with audiences for its subject matter, while “Am I Wrong” has sparked discussion due to its interpolation and vocal approach.

Both songs are now officially available on YouTube so that fans can decide for themselves. The response to “Am I Wrong” shows how difficult it is to reinterpret a well known song, especially when a recognizable hook becomes the centerpiece of the new version

Drake Joins Karol G in Houston for First Live Performance of “Ahi”

Drake made a surprise appearance in Houston this weekend, joining Karol G on stage for the first-ever live performance of their collaboration, “Ahi.”
The surprise appearance took place during Karol G’s show in Houston, where Drake jumped out from the bottom of the stage to perform the song with her. “Ahi” is the latest from Karol G’s project No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, and the Houston show marked the first time the pair had performed the collaboration together on stage.

Drake made his entrance to a loud reception from the crowd. The rapper popped out from under the stage, bowed to Karol G, hugged her, and launched into their collaboration. With “Ahi,” the performance was not over. Drake stayed on stage and carried on with the set, performing “Janice STFU” and “One Dance” and giving the Houston crowd a long set from the Canadian rapper.

The collaboration also sparked speculation about Drake’s upcoming music. A rumor started that Karol G was one of the collaborators on the project, along with Molly Santana and Future, days before ICEMAN is expected to drop. Future and Molly Santana were among the names on the rumored list, and Future ended up on “Run To Atlanta.”

Drake’s Houston appearance comes as he continues to promote music outside the traditional album release cycle. He released FOMO, a visual YouTube project featuring visuals for several songs from Habibti and Maid Of Honor nearly two weeks ago. The project also featured a couple of unreleased songs, including new material with Yeat and new unreleased music with Don Toliver.

Drake and Don Toliver have also dropped a remix of Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas.” The remix has recently sparked speculation about the artists after re uploaded visuals allegedly erased all footage of Langley.

But the Houston show shifted the focus back to Drake and Karol G. The surprise appearance turned the stop into the first live showcase of “Ahi” for the audience, while Drake’s renditions of “Janice STFU” and “One Dance” extended his surprise time onstage. It also gave fans their first chance to see the two artists perform their collaboration together, adding a live chapter to the release of “Ahi. “
