Bonang Matheba hosted the BET International Global Glitz & Glam stage at BET Awards this past Sunday, June 26.
The Top Billing presenter interviewed guests: Tracey Ellis Ross, Gabrielle Union, Yaz from Empire, singer Maya, actor Nate Parker from the highly anticipated movie Birth of a Nation, Tia Mowry and Jidenna, along with South African celebrities Nomzamo Mbatha, Ricky Rick and AKA:
According to Life & Style that got the exclusive scoop, the real reason Iggy ended her engagement with basketball player Nick Young is because he got his ex-girlfriend Keonna Green pregnant – again! Nick and Keonna already have a four-year-old son together, Nick Jr.
“Nick waited until Keonna was four months pregnant to tell Iggy the news,” an insider reveals, adding that he told her “He was drunk and had a lapse in judgement.”
“He said it was a one-night stand and will never happen again,” the insider explains. “But it’s too late. He is having another son!”
When the mag reportedly approached Keonna for comment on June 21 and asked if the pregnancy was unplanned for her and Nick, she replied “yes”, then immediately said, “No comment.” Yikes!
Iggy was reportedly supportive of Nick and Keonna’s relationship because they share a child together and ignored the rumours until she found out about the second pregnancy.
Iggy, we hope you don’t take him back. Cheaters: ain’t nobody got time for that!
This past Sunday, June 26, Lady Gaga met with the Dalai Lama at the US Conference of Mayors in Indianapolis for a talk called “The Global Significance of Building Compassionate Cities: Kindness Makes it Happen”.
Gaga shared a pic of her with His Holiness after conducting an interview with him, which was based on questions selected from social media and live streamed on Facebook Live.

But this did not seem to sit well with China. According to Hong Kong’s pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily, the propaganda department in China’s communist party has now reportedly issued “an important instruction” to have her music banned in the country.
China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei refused to comment on the claims, but he did say: “The purpose of the Dalai Lama’s visits and activities in other countries is just to promote his proposal for Tibetan independence. We hope that people from the international community can be fully aware of his true colours and nature.”
On page 9 of this week’s issue of Grazia (#GoGetYourGrazia) in our ‘Week That Was…’ section we mention how DA leader Mmusi Maimane gave a real message of hope when he addressed a packed auditorium at the London School of Economics, the DA leader gave a speech on Protecting South Africa’s Fragile Democracy, where he spoke about how African countries first need liberation, and then to be liberated from the liberators.
Here is his speech in full:
It’s not something you see every day: a beautiful, young woman walking the streets of the Joburg CBD in traditional Ndebele attire.

In case you didn’t know, this past weekend was the Vodacom Durban July – and just about every hot face in South Africa was there. With “Leader of the Pack” the theme for 2016, many were decked out in card-themed wear while others threw caution to the wind and dressed for a good time.

When Serena Williams beat German tennis player Annika Beck in the third round of Wimbledon on Sunday, it marked her 300th Grand Slam victory.
Serena beat Beck 6-3, 6-0, which now puts her just behind Martina Navratilova, who won 306 Grand Slams, and in front of Chris Evert who has a total of 299 wins.
According to Forbes, Serena is the highest-paid female athlete with her prize winnings and endorsements for the past 12 months totalling $28.9 million (R431.4 million).
During her match with Russia’s Svetlana Kuznetsova on Monday, Serena threatened to sue Wimbledon for not closing the centre court roof as it was drizzling, making the grass slippery. When umpire Marija Cicak came down from her chair to discuss the situation with both players, Serena was heard stating that she was going to fall and asked that the roof be closed. Marija’s response was inaudible, but then Serena said, “If I get hurt, I’m suing.”
Due to both players complaining about the slippery conditions and Serena’s threat, the match was suspended at 5-5 for the roof to be closed.
After winning the match, Serena made light of the comment saying that it was not meant to be taken seriously. “What I say on the court, whether it’s smashing my rackets, it’s in the heat of the moment,” she said.
We seriously hope she makes it to the finals.
Sometimes it gets a bit crazy trying to keep up with all the rich and famous peeps. So, in case you missed out, here are the biggest moments you need to know about today:
Ray J seeks compensation for Famous music video
Kanye West caused a stir when he released the music video for Famous, which features wax celebs, including Ray J, lying naked on a very large bed.
The singer is said to be furious about being depicted in the video and has made it clear that he is considering legal action, specifically making a bid for compensation.
“We’re talking about potentially doing something,” said Ray’s business manager David Weintraub said to Heat magazine. He added that Kanye “can’t continue to use people’s likeness without either compensation or clearance.
“We haven’t really worked anything out. There were discussions but they’re getting old, so our legal team is working out what we want to do with everything.”
Paris Jackson and her estranged mother reunite
According to TMZ, Paris Jackson, second child of pop king Michael Jackson, had cut ties with her mother Debbie Rowe for disciplining her during a period of rebellion. But recently, after Paris learned of Debbie’s breast cancer diagnosis through media reports, she texted her mother saying “I love you”, and now two have reunited. TMZ further reports that they will meet up after Debbie’s surgery.
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend learn to swim for Luna
Hashtag cant swim #cantswim #REVOLVEinthehamptons #cravingsBBQ @revolve A photo posted by chrissy teigen (@chrissyteigen) on
Model Chrissy Teigen has admitted that she and husband John Legend don’t know how to swim, but they are keen to learn for the sake of their daughter, Luna.
The couple plans on taking swimming lessons so that they don’t feel “helpless” around their two-month-old baby girl.
“I was in the pool today. I can’t swim, but I’m trying to learn for Luna, of course,” says the model. “There is nothing I want to do more than to get her into the water and for her to learn to swim.”
Ciara and Russell’s glam wedding
Singer Ciara and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson said their “I dos” during a romantic wedding ceremony in England on Wednesday July6. The singer wore a custom-made Cavalli Couture gown while Russell looked dapper in a Giorgio Armani tuxedo. Kelly Rowland, Serena Williams and LaLa Anthony formed part of the bridal. This is Russell’s second marriage, while Ciara was previously engaged to the father of her son, Future Jr.
AKA speaks out about Cassper Nyovest beef
Tell em how you feel!!!! Ⓜ️ by @theoluwaseye #SwayInTheMorning A photo posted by AKA (@akaworldwide) on
Local rapper AKA was interviewed by American DJ Sway on his morning show, but instead of concentrating on his career, it seemed to be more focused on his well-known feud with Cassper Nyovest… After a praising introduction from DJ Sway, Bonang Matheba’s beau sat down and immediately started talking about Cassper. He then spoke about his growth as an artist, saying that the world “Wants to hear what South Africa and Africa has to offer.” Later, when DJ Sway probed into the Cassper topic again, AKA simply said that they were “too similar”, but reassures everyone that him and Cassper are cool. Justin Timberlake to receive a Teen Choice Decade Award
The singer who brought “sexy back” is going to be presented with the Decade Award at this year’s Teen Choice Awards, airing July 31. Justin will be recognised for his evolution as an artist over the last ten years. This award marks the 23rd Teen Choice Award he has received, which is the most by any male.
Lionel Messi and father get sentenced for tax fraud
Argentine and Barcelona footballer Lionel Messi and his father, Jorge Messi, have been sentenced to 21 months in prison for tax fraud. The two were charged with defrauding Spain €4.1 million (R66.6 million) between 2007 and 2009. Neither of the men is expected to serve jail time, as the Spanish system states that prison terms of under two years can be served under probation. As well as the jail terms, Messi was fined about €2 million and his father €1.5 million.
Khloé and Trey are officially a couple
The Fourth of July weekend video of Khloé Kardashian partying it up with Trey Songz set tongues wagging of a romance between the reality star and singer – and now it is confirmed. A source close to the Kardashian family revealed to US Weekly that the duo are dating: “They are dating. It’s very new, but she is having fun.” We are shipping hard on the new couple!
New York intersection to be named after Bill Cunningham
New York City officials are temporarily naming the northeast corner of 57th street and Fifth Avenue “Bill Cunningham Corner”. This is in honour of the long-time fashion photographer who passed away June 25 at the age of 87.

Let’s not lie – we are obsessed with Snapchat! Those filters are life, and thanks to celebs like Kylie Jenner, who has helped popularise the app, those flower crowns and doggy faces are now being seen on all social media platforms. One of the best things about Snap was the simplicity and authenticity of it – you post your story as something happens and then it gets deleted after 24 hours.
Alas, bad news on the Snap front you guys… thanks to a new algorithmic change, Snapchat has now rolled out “Memories” (like the “see your memories today” on FB), which is allowing you to save your pics within the app, as well as upload your old pics and vids to your story. We think this will destroy the best things about Snapchat – the rawness and realness (albeit with filters). What makes Snapchat different from Instagram or Facebook now?
The other factor that made Snapchat fun and exciting was the feeling of not missing out on what the people you follow are doing – Kourtney in Miami or those adorable snaps of North, seeing what my friends’ opinions are on current events.
Computer website Gizmodo best describes our feelings: “Stories [RN] are spontaneous. They feature a cute dog you saw walking down the street, or some blurry footage from a drunken night out. Now, people are going to upload only the best, most polished snaps to their story.”
According to the site, the reason for this change is *dum dum dum* advertising. “With the ability to upload more content to stories, Snapchat will now have more surface area to show more ads. Dumbass attempts to increase ad revenue has helped screw a lot of other once great tech products, so the ruin of Snapchat was always inevitable. The company actually broke from the ephemeral model three years ago, when it started selling replays for $1,” continues Gizmodo.
And so, we say farewell to the enthralling essence of yet another magical app.
Make sure to #GoGetYourGrazi, turn straight to page 38 of the issue and read Sandiso Ngubane’s article on how Snapchat is changing the influencer and media game.
More than ever before, the continuous tragedies of losing black lives in America can no longer be ignored – nor continue.
After a praise-worthy and necessary speech at the BET Awards on #blacklivesmatter by actor Jesse Williams, Queen Bey has now taken her dance moves and lyrics from Formation and channelled them into a perfectly constructed open letter, which she posted to her website. In her letter, Bey calls for action in response to the increasing police brutality, as well as the most recent deaths ofAlton Sterling and Philando Castile.
“We are sick and tired of the killings of young men and women in our communities. It is up to us to take a stand and demand that they stop killing. We don’t need sympathy. We need everyone to respect our lives. We’re going to stand up as a community and fight against anyone who believes that murder or any violet action by those who are sworn to protect us should consistently go unpunished,” she wrote.
“These robberies of lives make us feel helpless and hopeless, but we have to believe that we are fighting for the rights of the next generation, for the next young men and women who believe in good. This is a human fight. No matter your race, gender or sexual orientation. This is a fight for anyone who feels marginalised, who is struggling for freedom and human rights. This is not a plea to all police officers but towards any human being who fails to value life.
“The war on people of colour and all minorities needs to be over. Fear is not an excuse. Hate will not win. We all have the power to channel our anger and frustration into action. We must use our voices to contact the politicians and legislators in our districts and demand social and judicial changes. While we pray for the families of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, we will also pray for an end to this plague of injustice in our communities.”
Beyoncé ended her letter by asking people to click on the post to contact politicians and legislators in their area. “Your voice will be heard,” she writes.
The songstress – who is currently on her Formation world tour – also stopped her Glasgow show to have a moment of silence in respect of those who have lost their lives due to police brutality. During her moment of silence, a projection appeared behind her with the names of the victims, including Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner and Freddie Gray, and she had the moment end with the words “and countless others”.

SAINT WEST STEALS THE SHOW
On Sunday, Kim Kardashian pulled a Chrissy Teigen and cooked some good food for a few of her and hubby Kanye West’s closest friends. The food Kimmy prepared? Fried chicken, biscuits, sweet potato soufflé and more – clearly worthy of #SoulFoodSunday.
“We are going to do a cooking thing on my app,” Kim shared on Snapchat, before asking her guests what they thought of her skills in the kitchen.
But the real star of the show wasn’t the food (sorry, Kim!) it was the guest appearance of Saint West! How adorable is he?
KIM K SHARES TMI
Spoiler alert! In an upcoming instalment of KUWTK, the episode will opens with Kim and Scott driving around in a drop top discussing Kimmy’s lady parts…
Kim reveals that hubby Kanye has asked her about having a third child “every day for like the last week… I was like, ‘I don’t think I can carry another one,’” Kim tells Scott. “I just think, ‘Ugh, I’ll never be the same down there.’ Kanye says it like feels the same,” the reality star reveals.
“One hundred percent things change,” Scott commented. “Like, it’s like throwing a hot dog down a hallway?” Kim asked.
Watch the clip below:
CIARA’S SON IS BEST DRESSED AT HER WEDDING
We all know the wedding day is about the bride and – more importantly – her dress. Next best dressed would be the groom, of course, looking dapper and clean-cut for his big day. But, what happens when your own son shows you up on your own wedding day? Case in point: baby Future Zahir in his tux. Ciara took to IG to share snaps of the adorable tot looking all debonair in his wedding outfit. All together now: aww!

We don’t always keep track of celeb tattoos, unless they have a juicy meaning behind them. Case in point: Miley Cyrus got a new tattoo of a bottle of Australian snack food Vegemite on her arm over the weekend, which is homage to her Aussie beau Liam Hemsworth. Cute? We think so.
Boity slams Cassper reunion rumours
Though rumours of Boity Thulo and Cassper Nyovest reuniting have done the rounds recently, Boity made it clear that they will not be an item again in an interview with Drum magazine. “We can’t go according to what people would like. It’s not like we hate each other or are enemies. We have explained the reasons for the break-up, but we are still friends,” said the starlet.
Nicky Hilton gives birth to first child
Nicky Hilton Rothschild and husband James Rothschild welcomed their first child, daughter Lily Grace Victoria Rothschild, on July 8 in New York City.

Local musician Nasty C was involved in an accident on Friday night while travelling in Randburg with some of his crew when their car went down an embankment. Due to the incident, Nasty C had to miss his Friday gigs. It is still unclear what caused the accident, but the rapper’s car was written off.
Calvin Harris and Nicole Scherzinger getting cozy
Friday night saw 32-year-old DJ Calvin Harris cozying up with singer Nicole Scherzinger while out at the Tape Nightclub. The newly single DJ was also seen chatting it up with a number of women that very same night. Clearly he is single…and ready to mingle.
ANDY MURRAY AND SERENA WILLIAMS: WIMBLEDON 2016 CHAMPIONS
On Saturday, Serena Williams, 34, basically broke the internet when she was crowned the winner of the 2016 Wimbledon ladies’ singles final, which saw her take home the title for the 7th time and achieve her 22nd Grand Slam title (a record previously held by Steffi Graf). Yesterday, Andy Murray, 29, took home the title for the men’s final for the second time while earning his 3rd Grand Slam title. Both Serena and Murray looked equally thrilled and stylish at the Wimbledon Champions dinner held at Guildhall, London last night.

We have seen Instagram selfie trends come and go, and some (like the pout) stay forever. The newest selfie style on the block? Finger mouthing. Thanks to the youngest sibling of the Kardashian-Jenner clan who started posing with her fingers by her mouth, the trend has now taken off and can be seen in selfies everywhere. Don’t believe us? Check out other celebs posing the same way. And we won’t lie, we’re guilty of pulling this look too #noshame.

This week in Grazia, we get the co-founder of fashion and music blog Gold Creatures to take an exclusive selfie and reveal all. While you’re on your way to #GoGetYourGrazia, here are some of our favourite street style moments from Keagan Carlin…

How would you describe your signature style?
Simple, classic and maybe even a little boyish. I like being comfy, so sneakers and sports luxe are my every day get-up, but I love to glam it up for events and evenings out.
Who are your local and international style icons?
Locally, I would have to say that Bonang Matheba is pretty on point when it comes to style – she always looks incredible! Internationally, it’s definitely Margaret Zhang.
What five products never leave your handbag?
My five billion lip balms – my lips are always dry. Hand lotion for Jozi winters. Liquid eyeliner because I wear a cat eye every day, and somehow it always rubs off. Nail strengthener, a weird one but necessary. And, lastly, my foundation. Glowing skin equals confidence for me!
What’s your favourite app?
VSCO. It’s my absolute best for simple photo editing. My camera has wi-fi, so for a quick Instagram I download it directly to my phone, edit it in VSCO and it’s up in 2 minutes.
Whose shoes would you like to live in for a day?
From a blogger/photographer point of view, definitely Margaret Zhang. She’s on form at the moment and she gets to work with the most incredible people in the industry. I feel like I’d learn a lot being her for a day.
