The Entertainment Weekend Recap: May 15th
Black Love reigned supreme for the Mackies this weekend as they celebrated 15 years together. Papoose and Remy Ma have maintained their love and stood together through obstacles, including Remy’s eight-year prison sentence. Papoose posted photos of the couple and stated “we laughed together, cried together, lost together, won together. Through it all we stayed ‘TOGETHER.’” The Mackies have been major advocates of Black love and welcomed a daughter, Reminisce MacKenzie, in 2018.
While Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny are not 15 years in, the two have been spotted out together. The duo wore matching outfits and enjoyed the Los Angeles Lakers as they went against the Golden State Warriors in the playoffs. The model and rapper have been sparking dating rumors since February. They have been photographed on private outings in Los Angeles and Kendall was at Coachella to cheer on Bad Bunny as he performed.
