K. Michelle is showing the world that she is enhancement-free and proud. She recently gave fans a quick peek at what’s beneath her bodice during a sold-out live-streamed performance.

K. Michelle’s grandfather passed away before Christmas, weeks after he turned 92 years old and celebrating his birthday. There is currently no cause of death revealed.
The Jasmine Brand highlights K. Michelle tweeted about her grandfather on Tuesday morning (Dec. 28).
Please bring my grandpa back. God, dont do us like this. I beg. I’ll do anything
I laying here shaking, begging you God to not do this to me tomorrow. I can’t live without him. My momma need him. I’m just drinking, crying, drinking again. Stop this shit now
I’m loosing my mind about this. I feel so useless. I did so much for my grandpa but I let this happen to him: I should’ve been there on they ass about him at that hospital. Maybe I could’ve forced them to save him
I’m changing everything tomorrow they can’t put him in the ground. He gotta go in one of those mausoleum. I’m getting that done in the morning. I won’t sleep. I’ll sit up until I get someone on the phone
Music entertainer K. Michelle is getting back to basics. The singer has come forward to update fans on her body’s reconstruction and encourage women to get rid of silicone. Look and comment below!
Before Cardi B exploded onto the music scene, K.Michelle was regarded as the only Love & Hip Hop star to have a successful career as a music artist. During a recent episode of Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood, Michelle didn’t hold any punches about Blac Chyna’s “budding” career.
The “V.S.O.P” singer let Blac Chyna have it during Monday night’s (August 26) episode. Speaking with fellow cast member Brittany B about her music career, Michelle lost it and went off Chyna when B mentioned she wanted to work with Chyna.
“This industry is the only industry where a mothaf*cka can just walk in without an audition. This music is something you fight for your whole life. It’s not something that you just automatically know that you wanna do. This be people’s last resort.” She added, “The gift that God gave me? That is not the last resort to your d*ck s*cking that didn’t work.”
“I literally last year y’all, rolled myself onstage to sing for my fans in a wheelchair,” she said. “So why the f*ck do you think I wanna talk about these fake ass artists. I bust my ass. I love this sh*t. It’s how I eat. I’m not finna entertain the people who just out here playing.”
Well, we definitely understand why she is upset at the mere idea, hell we rolled our eyes when she popped in the series. As you can imagine the viewers were totally here for Kimberly’s shade towards Chyna. Hit the gallery below to see the reactions to K.Michelle’s rant about Tyga’s baby mama below.
R&B singer K. Michelle wants to leave a strong legacy. The musician has come forward to pay respect to late rap legend Nipsey Hussle and share her intent to impact other people’s lives like he did.
Michelle went to Instagram last night to keep it 100 on Hussle’s contributions.
With Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta officially coming to a close last night, it’s time to head to the west coast. The Hollywood cast of ratchets are back, and for season 6 of Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood we got some new cast members to throw in the mix.
Returning to bring the drama for the reality show’s sixth season is A1, Lyrica, Lil Fizz, Apryl Jones, Apple Watts, Ray J, Princess Love, Paris Phillips, and Love & Hip Hop all-star K.Michelle.
The trailer picks up with the Millenium Tour and the tension we didn’t get to see. Minus Omarion and Raz B, Lil Fizz and Boog are excited that B2K is but Fizz knows it can all fall apart at any second. We quickly learn that Marques Houston has joined the cast when J Boog mentions that fans want Immature to join the tour. That seems to be a forgone conclusion because of the fact can’t get the financial details together.
There is also that issue of Fizz and Omarion’s baby mother Apryl Jones possibly shacking up and smashing much to the dismay of Fizz’s baby mama Moniece Slaughter. So the whole B2K dynamic looks like it’s just going to be one big mess the entire season.
A1 is the joke of the internet right now because of a ridiculous hairdo, is going through it with his wife, Lyrica.
Apparently, the songwriter cheated on his wife with a new cast member by the name of Summer Bunni. If that name sounds familiar, she was one of the girls Offset was trying to set up a struggle threesome with. New to Love & Hip Hop shenanigans is YoYo who is trying to resurrect her Hip-Hop career and mentor younger artist, why she thought joining this cast was a good idea is beyond us.
Ray J and his wife Princess Love are trying to find ways to bring the spice back into the bedroom. Princess goes full Fifty Shades of Grey on her husband, maybe they should just make a sex tape honestly. The married couple is also going through it while frantically trying to find their missing dog. K.Michelle is back, and we are following her “drama” with her surrogate who will be helping her achieve her maternal of dreams of having twins.
We also meet a new white cast member Mickey Munday who is trying to make his mark in Black dominated industry. While sticking out of sore thumb because of his skin color, we also learn he is dating model Slick Woods.
R&B singer K. Michelle is soaking in some serious self-love. The veteran musician has come forward to celebrate loving her all-natural body and going back into her record-making grind.
Let's welcome our first guest of
