The month of July has been bad for black male celebs

July has shown no love to African-American celebrities. It has been a month of confessions, and scandals. This month started on a rough note.

On Friday, June 30, 2017, JAY-Z released his 13th studio album '4:44'. The body of work which has been received by rave reviews was slightly overshadowed by Sean Carter's confession that he cheated on his better and more popular half Beyonce.

This confessional on the brilliant album dominated social discussions on the timeline for weeks. When we thought we had gotten to the end of the tunnel, one of JAY-Z's former collaborators R.Kelly had to make a mess of things for black men.
