Megan Thee Stallion, Kehlani, and More Support Rico Nasty Amid Playboi Carti's Tour Controversy

-

Rico Nasty has spoken out about the mistreatment she's endured as an opener on Playboi Carti's King Vamp Tour. This comes after several videos were posted online showing Playboi Carti fans disrespecting Rico on multiple tour stops. The 24-year-old rapper wrote a series of unsettling messages on Twitter over the weekend addressing her struggles. "I dead ass need at least two hours out of each day. To just cry," she tweeted. In another tweet, she wrote, "Crazy how I wanted a tour bus my whole life and now I just be on the tour bus crying myself to sleep every night."

Many people were disheartened to read Rico's sad posts, but the most alarming of them all was her expressing a will to no longer live. "I wish I was dead just as much as y'all do trust me," she tweeted, adding "Y'all win." Rico's tweets were deleted shortly after, but many of her peers caught wind of her distress and voiced their support online. "Rico is a gem of an artist and person," Kehlani tweeted, "i hope you know how epic and special you are @Rico_nastyy!!!!!!!!" Megan Thee Stallion, Flo Milli, Tierra Whack, JT from the City Girls, and others have also rallied in support of Rico.

Prior to her recent tweets, several unfortunate incidents involving Rico have occurred in cities on Playboi Carti's tour. On Nov. 13, footage showed Rico reacting to a bottle being thrown at her while performing. In a video posted online, she demanded to know the person responsible, saying "Who the f*ck was it?" She then told security to "come and get this n****" before jumping into the crowd.

A week prior, she was heckled by a crowd in Los Angeles and booed while fans demanded for Playboi Carti to come out on stage. The following day, she addressed some of those fans on Twitter, calling them an "anti Black ass crowd" and "weak ass little boys wit blonde pubes."

Throughout all the controversy surrounding his tour, Playboi Carti has remained silent about the way Rico has been treated. The tour wraps up on Dec. 23 in Atlanta, and our hope is that Rico won't be subject to anymore trauma. Keep reading ahead to see how celebrities are supporting her.

The Circle: Meet the Real "Emily" - aka Jack's Catfish Persona

-

A 20-year-old astrophysics and economics student from New Haven, CT, Jack Atkins made quite the first impression in The Circle season two premiere. He tells viewers straight off, "I'm honestly down to go down as the biggest villain in Circle history. I don't really care." I mean, an intro package doesn't get much better than that. Kudos, Jack! Or shall we say . . . Emily? In the first episode, we learn Jack is here to play a "very strategic, manipulative, cutthroat game." Being a college student, Jack says he's a self-declared nerd but with a wild, goofy side. Nervous his authentic personality (and BDE) might cost him the $100,000 prize, he enters The Circle group chat as Emily, a girly girl from the Windy City, who also happens to be a close friend of his IRL. Jack explains in his confessional that he wants fellow competitors to look at his profile and go "'That's a face I can trust.'" "When it comes to strategy ther...

What Selling Tampa Tells Us About Diversity in Real Estate and Selling Sunset

-

When it comes to reality TV on Netflix, Selling Sunset is prime real estate (pun intended). Season four dropped on Nov. 24 , and a brand-new spinoff, Selling Tampa , followed on Dec. 15. Unlike Selling Sunset , which follows the drama behind the elite real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group , Selling Tampa spotlights a Florida-based, women-led, Black-owned business, Allure Realty. The show adds much-needed representation to Netflix's real estate reality TV lineup. But Selling Tampa 's creation compels us to take a hard look at Selling Sunset and the representation among its agents in an industry that lacks diversity. In its first season, the cast of Selling Sunset was all white. Agents like Amanza Smith (a mixed-race Black woman) and Vanessa Villela (who is Mexican) joined The Oppenheim Group in seasons two and four, respectively, but most of the nine women dishing the drama on screen on Selling Sunset remain white. Looking at the numbers, this isn't too far ...
