Koopsta Knicca Dies: Three 6 Mafia Rapper Was 40

Koopsta Knicca – the rapper best known for his work with the iconic hip hop crew Three 6 Mafia – has passed away at the age of 40.

Sources say the emcee (real name: Robert Cooper Phillips) suffered a stroke late Thursday night.

Fellow Three 6 Mafia mamber DJ Paul was the first to break the news of Phillips’ death.

He first tweeted a false alarm and retracted it – clarifying that Phillips had indeed suffered a stroke, but was still on life support.

Sadly, Phillips passed late last night, and Paul confirmed the news with a heartfelt message to fans this morning.

This isn’t the first time the has met with tragedy, as Three 6 member Lord Infamous died from a heart attack in 2013. 

DJ Paul reminded fans today that the two rappers were the same age when they passed.

KK, as he was often known, quit the group in 2000 in order to pursue a solo career.

He remained on good terms with the other members, and DJ Paul produced KK’s debut solo album.

Though he was not in Three 6 when the group won an Academy Award in 2006, he rejoined a few years later and remained a member until his death.

Paul says KK was working on a solo album at the time of his passing.

Bella Hadid: Lyme Disease Diagnosis Revealed by Yolanda Foster

Yolanda Foster has been remarkably candid about her courageous battle with Lyme disease, and the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has inspired millions in the process.

Foster’s Instagram diary offers hope and insight for the millions who have been affected by the tick-borne illness, directly or otherwise, and the 51-year-old model has been praised by research organizations and fellow patients alike.

Last night, Foster received an award at the Global Lyme Alliance, and she made surprising revelation about the ways in which the illness has impacted her family:

“God had different plans for me,” a tearful Foster said. “He changed my destiny when my two youngest children, Bella and Anwar, were diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease in early 2012.

“Watching my babies struggle in silence in order to support me and my journey struck the deepest chord of hopelessness inside of me, and it’s because of them that I’m motivated to stand here in front of you today,”

Foster had not previously revealed that 18-year-old Bella and 16-year-old Anwar are also battling the illness.

There is no word on how they contracted the disease.

Like her older sister Gigi, Bella recently embarked on a modeling career and has already met with stunning success.

It was revealed last month that Bella is dating The Weeknd, and she is often spotted at the most exclusive Hollywood parties.

Both Bella and Anwar have yet to speak publicly about their mother’s surprising revelation.

Celebrity Breastfeeding Pictures: #Normalize It!

Many famous moms have posted up close and personal pictures of themselves breastfeeding online, many in an attempt to "normalize" the process.

Why is breastfeeding at all taboo, wondered Jessie James Decker recently, when half naked girls parading around on social media are ogled 24/7/365?

She raises a valid point, and we applaud her for raising it. And for breastfeeding her children and giving us a glimpse into that intimate bond.

Check out some of the best photos from JJ and others:

Drake and Serena Williams: We"re Not Engaged, Just Banging!

Yesterday, we reported on the widespread rumor that Drake and Serena Williams are engaged.

It seemed too good to be true, and sadly, reps for the couple confirmed that while they might be doing plenty of cross-court smashing, they’re not an official match.

TMZ is reporting that Drake and Serena are denying that they’ve taken the next step, with Drake’s team issuing a statement that says simply, “The rumor is completely untrue.”

Obviously it’s a shame, as the couple’s children would’ve made short work of their opponents on the court, then proceeded to body their rap rivals with blistering diss tracks.

Of course, we should probably just give these two some time.

It’s only been a few weeks since Drake and Serena were caught making out, and we’re already hoping Drizzy will propose in an epic 18-minute auto-tuned ballad. 

It’s just that celebrity couples like this don’t come along ever day, and a Drena (Serake?) wedding would be the star-studded party of the century.

Then again, if Serena buys into the theory that Drake is her bad luck charm, she might want to cut him loose for the time being and come back after she nails that elusive calendar Grand Slam.

We’re Drizzy will wait for her. Plus the breakup will probably inspire 19 number one singles.
