Alkaline Show Cancelled In London

Now I have to start by saying, this unruly behaviour had nothing to do with the genre of music or the fact it was a "Jamaican set-up."

It had to do with the people in the area.

Brixton may be getting an upgrade but the same foolishness is still there. People who live near or in the vicinity who don't mind leaving their homes to gain entry into a club for free or just to cause trouble because they haven't got fuq all to do with themselves.

Last night, Jamaican Artiste Alkaline was set to perform in the O2 Brixton Academy alongside UK Rapper, Chipmunk but things kicked off before they had even made it on stage.

People fighting outside the venue, windows and doors breaking and security having to hold back hundreds of people.

The venue owners and promoters didn't have to go far to get law enforcement, Brixton Police Station is right across the road from the O2, so when the police came... "Everyting Lock Off"

The police locked of Brixton Hill and brought out the tear gas for the people.

This is something that is happening a lot and this is why the clubs no longer want to hire out their venues to black/ Jamaican promoters or any party which advertises 'Bashment'.

I bet this is the last time The O2 will be allowing this type of event to happen at one of their venues again.

BKChatLDN New York?

I've been wanting to add a new item to my blog for the longest and as I'm the 'Self-Proclaimed' best at giving practical advice I thought I'd start a "Sunday Solution" feature.

I'll give guidance and solutions to things I believe need a little fix-up.

So my first 'Sunday Solution' is for....



I saw this post on BKChat's Instagram and two things caught my eye when I saw this post, in no specific order.



Now I may be having a petty moment, but we're all entitled to one.

If you watch BKChat or - like myself watch half and then spend the rest of the time trying to make some sense out of the fuq'ery you've just heard - we all know BKChat is very much surrounded by the African culture, which is why I get fed up when I hear certain panelist use Jamaican slang terms or even when BKChat put up post like the one above...

Zara Outrage 🐸

It was Moncler last year. This year Spanish clothing retailers, Zara have been causing waves on the Twitter-Sphere regarding a new skirt that they have recently launched.




The new denim skirt features a frog which many people have likened to 'Pepe the Frog', a well-known cartoon character that has now become a Meme phenomenon, but for all the wrong reasons.


During the 2016 US Elections Pepe was linked to Donald Trump and many media outlets associated the character with white supremacist and Neo-Nazi groups, which the creator, Matt Furie initially seemed to think that this was "just a phase". That changed when The ADL (The Anti-Defamation League) added Pepe to their racist symbol database although they did say not all Pepe Memes/pictures were portraying racist connotations. This time Furie showed great trepidation and has since partnered with The ADL to create a #SavePepeCampaign.

Zara are yet to respond to the criticism they have been getting on Twitter and in the media but the skirt no longer seems to be on their website. 👀

The UK Are Breaking Down Walls...All By Themselves.

"I have been looking forward to writing this post for SO long."

America's reaction to UK rapper, Giggs after hearing his features on Drake's 'More Life' album was surprising at first, then I remembered the rap game has changed. People's expectations are way lower and what people don't understand they dislike.

Martina Big - The Tanned Barbie?

Yesterday, UK Daytime show, This Morning had a very interesting guest on their sofa who received a lot of negative comments on social media.

Martina Big has spent over £40,000 on boob jobs and tanning injections to look like what she calls an 'Exotic Barbie'. Ruth and her husband Eamonn were interviewing this lady and they both came across as very judgemental.



A conversation about bullying and This Morning's anti-bullying campaign, (#BeKind) had taken place less than an hour before Martina came on, so I felt that by Eamonn asking the audience at home "What do you think?" and Ruth's sanctimonious attitude was just encouraging name-calling, negative comments and very uncomfortable viewing.

RIP Charlie Murphy 🙏🏾

"RIP Charlie Murphy."


I had always heard of the comedian Charlie Murphy, the brother of legendary actor Eddie Murphy, but it wasn't until I got with my "Clyde", when we watched a marathon of stand-up comedy skits from "The Kings of Comedy" to Dave Chappelle and Charlie Murphy skits did I become a fan.



"It's Rick James Bitch!!!" became 'our thing'.



Charlie Murphy, born Charles Quinton Murphy passed away on Wednesday 12th April 2017 from Leukemia.

Kendall Jenner x Pepsi "Live For Now" Ad Campaign Gets Pulled

I have seen so much uproar regarding Pepsi's new 2017 'Live For Now' ad campaign.





The advert reflected the fight for unity and the breaking down of barriers that stands in many people's way..."and  it seems this can be done with a can of Pepsi. lol" *Side Eye*


Many people were offended by this ad due to the picture that was used, it imitates the image captured during the Baton Rouge Riots in which Iesha Evans stood before police as they rushed towards her.


No, a can of Pepsi isn't going to help solve the world's problems, but it definitely got the topic of  'Black Lives Matter' and police brutality back to the forefront. This picture impacted such a large demographic of people and has definitely cemented it's place in our history books.
