  • Funky Dineva’s Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

    Big news from the world of pop culture commentary: Quentin Latham, widely known as Funky Dineva, has revealed a Stage 1 prostate cancer diagnosis. He’s bravely sharing his journey, emphasizing a crucial message for everyone: ‘Early detection is key.’

    A Personal Health Update

    On Tuesday, November 25th, Funky Dineva took to Instagram to share a personal video update with his followers. He explained that he had just returned from a visit to the urologist and, with the intention of educating rather than seeking sympathy, shared that he has Stage 1 prostate cancer. He revealed that out of twelve biopsies, two came back cancerous and one was inconclusive.

    Dineva mentioned that his Gleason score was extremely low, indicating that the cancer was caught in its very earliest stages. His doctor plans to conduct genetic testing on the biopsies to determine if the cancer is slow-growing or fast-growing, which will help inform treatment options.

    Choosing a Path Forward: Surgery

    During his consultation, Dineva learned about potential treatment options, including radiation, experimental drugs, and robotic surgery. Without waiting for further test results, he made a decisive choice. He opted for robotic surgery to have the cancerous cells removed.

    He has an upcoming appointment on December 8th with the ‘robot doctor’ to schedule the procedure. While acknowledging he’ll read the informational materials provided, Dineva’s gut feeling is to ‘cut it out’ and avoid radiation or other therapies. He expressed that he’s feeling a bit down but plans to take a nap and will be okay.

    A Message of Awareness

    In his Instagram caption, Dineva reiterated the importance of early detection and urged men to stay on top of their bloodwork and medical exams. He asked his followers not to call him, as he needed time to process the news and take a nap.

    Later that evening, Dineva had planned to host his ‘Funky Dineva Live’ YouTube show with K. Michelle. However, shortly after promoting the episode, he announced its cancellation. He explained that after receiving his diagnosis, he didn’t have the emotional capacity to host the show, stating he was feeling depressed but also fine, and giving himself permission to go through the process.

  • Masika Kalysha Accused of Not Paying Stylist

    Well, it looks like there’s some drama brewing in the celebrity world, and this time it involves a hairstylist airing out a well-known personality. Ully the Stylist has come forward exclusively to Baller Alert with claims that Masika Kalysha has yet to pay him for a significant glam session he provided.

    The Glam Session for a Homegoing Ceremony

    The situation reportedly kicked off around the time Masika Kalysha shared photos from her husband Jamar Champ’s funeral, which occurred in late October following a tragic car accident. These photos sparked considerable online discussion, with some labeling her actions as performative. Amidst this buzz, Ully the Stylist posted a meme using one of the images, humorously (or perhaps not so humorously) captioning it, ‘This how I felt when you ain’t send my money.’

    Ully explained to Baller Alert that he was called in to help Masika get her hair done for the homegoing ceremony. He shared screenshots indicating a working relationship between them that goes back at least to 2023. Masika reportedly reached out on November 4th, expressing her need for his services.

    Three Days of Service, Then Silence?

    According to Ully, he styled Masika’s hair for three consecutive days leading up to the funeral. After the final styling session, he claims he reached out to Masika’s assistant for payment, only to be met with silence. He stated that his subsequent messages to Masika went unanswered, and he felt blocked.

    In his account, Ully highlighted that another service provider, a braider who also worked on Masika’s hair, had been compensated. He sent an Apple Cash request for $350, hoping to resolve the matter quickly. He also sent a message expressing his disappointment, noting that he had woken up early to service her without issue and felt it was unfair to have to wait for his payment, especially since she had initiated the contact.

    What Happens Next?

    As of the report, Masika Kalysha has not publicly addressed Ully the Stylist’s claims. Given the nature of the accusations and the platform they were aired on, it’s likely this situation might see further developments in the coming days. We’ll be keeping an eye on this story!
