Iman Shumpert is denying allegations from ex-wife Teyana Taylor that he leaked confidential divorce details to boost his music career.
The former NBA star’s attorney, Stephen C. Steele, addressed the claims on Wednesday (March 19).
“My client, Mr. Iman Shumpert, has never whatsoever leaked any allegations or claims stated in any of the pleadings,” Steele told TMZ Sports. “Mr. Shumpert adamantly denies that he has provided any information to any media.”
The attorney added, “Specifically, but without limitations, he denies that he leaked any information which may have served as the basis for the multiple news reports preceding the trial of this matter.”
Taylor previously accused Shumpert of leaking sealed court documents related to their divorce proceedings. She filed a petition against him, seeking a 20-day jail sentence and maximum fines for allegedly disclosing confidential court information.
The singer and actress claimed Shumpert strategically timed the leak to coincide with her social media posts featuring actor Aaron Pierre following the 2025 Oscars.
Taylor suggested that the former NBA player was attempting to provoke controversy to promote his latest rap release.
Taylor also alleged she possesses evidence proving Shumpert paid individuals to circulate information about their divorce online. She accused him of profiting professionally at her expense, subjecting her to public criticism and hateful commentary.
In court filings, Taylor maintained that the couple never reached a formal “settlement,” clarifying that the court allocated their assets in July 2024.
Taylor further accused Shumpert of repeatedly pretending ignorance when questioned about how sensitive details from their divorce case became public.
The court is expected to address Taylor’s petition and allegations in upcoming hearings scheduled later this year.
Tina Knowles is firing back at Kanye West‘s controversial remarks about Beyoncé, Jay-Z and their children through a humorous Instagram post.
On Wednesday (March 19), Knowles, Beyoncé’s mother, posted a short video featuring a playful joke that indirectly referenced West’s recent shocking social media posts targeting her daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren.
Knowles’s joke was simple but pointed: “What happens when a snowman throws a tantrum? He has a meltdown.”
She accompanied the video with a caption that carried a more profound message.
“It’s hard to remain positive and classy in the face of ignorance and evil,” Knowles wrote. “But I know that no weapon formed against me or my family shall prosper. This battle is not mine, but the Lords, I know that God has got this.”
Knowles’ post arrived shortly after West attacked Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s twins, Rumi and Sir Carter in a series of tweets. In his posts, West openly questioned the twins’ cognitive abilities using derogatory language and alleged that Beyoncé conceived the twins through in vitro fertilization (IVF).
He went further, controversially suggesting that “having r****** children is a choice” due to artificial insemination.
West initially removed his inflammatory remarks amid staunch criticism but later reposted them, expressing regret for deleting them in the first place. He also accused Jay-Z of pressuring him to remove the original tweet.
The backlash against West was intense. Beyoncé quickly became a trending topic online. Social media users rushed to defend the couple’s right to privacy regarding their children.
Many recalled the harsh criticism and cruel comments Beyoncé and Jay-Z previously endured regarding their oldest daughter, Blue Ivy’s hair when she was a baby.
Kim Kardashian reportedly ended daughter North West’s visit with Kanye West after discovering controversial influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate were set to join the gathering.
Kardashian raised the issue during a heated mediation session between the former and their legal teams, where the Tate brothers’ presence became a central issue, according to TMZ.
The outlet says Kardashian requested the emergency hearing over objections to North appearing in West’s song featuring Diddy.
The SKIMS founder reportedly expressed strong reservations about her children interacting with the Tates or Diddy, citing concerns about their influence.
Andrew and Tristan Tate currently face serious criminal charges in Romania, including allegations of rape, human trafficking and organized crime.
Romanian prosecutors accuse the brothers of operating a criminal enterprise that sexually exploited women, along with charges of money laundering. Andrew Tate individually faces a rape charge.
The brothers are also under investigation in the United Kingdom for similar allegations, including trafficking minors and sexual misconduct involving a minor. Both brothers have denied all allegations.
Kanye West Accuses Kim Kardashian Of Sex Trafficking Their Children
Meanwhile, West recently unleashed a series of explosive social media posts accusing Kardashian of sex trafficking their children.
He wrote, “I AM 100 PERCENT CONVINCED THAT MY CHILDREN ARE IN A SEX TRAFFICKING [ring],” and explicitly stated, “KIM KARDASHIAN IS A SEX TRAFFICKER.”
West further alleged, “THE KARDASHIANS ARE ENGAGED IN SEX WORK AND TRAFFIC ALL THE BLACK CHILDREN THEY STRATEGICALLY CREATE,” linking these claims to North’s participation in an FKA Twigs song and TikTok video.
He also claimed, “THE GRANDMOTHER APPROVED THE SEX TAPE,” seemingly referencing Kris Jenner, and accused Kardashian of controlling their four “BLACK CHILDREN,” asserting, “THE MAN SHOULD HAVE THE FINAL SAY OVER HIS KIDS.”
Sources indicate Kardashian is now seriously contemplating seeking sole legal custody of their four children. West has also publicly expressed his intention to pursue sole custody.
Big U called out alleged informants and proclaimed his innocence in a defiant Instagram video posted while heading to surrender to federal authorities in Los Angeles amid serious RICO charges.
In the video, recorded Wednesday (March 19), from a family van, the music executive, whose real name is Eugene Henley Jr., dismissed the federal charges against him as “bull crap” and “straight trash,” insisting he’s innocent and will be exonerated.
The indictment accuses him of running a criminal organization dubbed “Big U Enterprise,” allegedly involved in murder, extortion, fraud, and human trafficking.
Authorities also claim he misappropriated charitable donations intended for his nonprofit, Developing Options, and filed fraudulent COVID-19 relief loan applications.
Big U Alleges Wack 100 & 600 Cooperated With Feds
In his video, Big U blamed Wack 100 and 600 for his legal predicament. He alleged that 600 was present with law enforcement during a raid on his residence and accused Wack 100 of cooperating with federal investigators.
“600 was actually with the police when they raided my house,” he stated. “He’s actually got video and footage of it, so y’all know what y’all dealing with.”
Big U also claimed authorities questioned him about issues with Wack 100 and Luce Cannon.
“All y’all who be promoting what these n##### saying,” he added. “Giving these likes, all y’all supporting this. All y’all guilty of this f### s###.”
The executive also alleged Wack 100 was working with the feds to “take” his contracts.
Throughout the recording, Big U repeatedly emphasized his community contributions and denied wrongdoing.
“I ain’t been nothing but a help to our community,” he asserted. “This the price of being Black and trying to help somebody, trying to help your community and do what you can. You just guilty because somebody else don’t like you.”
Federal officials listed Big U as a fugitive as of March 20, 2025, after indicting him alongside 18 alleged associates from the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips gang. Prosecutors contend Big U leveraged his music industry relationships to further criminal activities and used his anti-gang charity as a façade for financial fraud.
The indictment further alleges he intimidated witnesses to prevent cooperation with investigators and defrauded donors who contributed to his charitable organizations.
Eugene “Big U” Henley, a prominent figure in South Los Angeles known for his dual roles as a music executive and community advocate, surrendered to FBI agents on Wednesday (March 19) amid accusations of secretly leading a mafia-style crime syndicate.
The arrest sent a ripple through South Los Angeles, where Henley was often known to locals as a mediator and charitable entrepreneur. He faces serious federal charges, including murder, operating a criminal enterprise and funneling nonprofit funds into illicit activities.
Bryan Mejia, an alleged associate, also surrendered to authorities.
Henley championed community outreach through his nonprofit, Developing Options, but federal investigators claim his organization served as a front to disguise criminal operations. He’s also a member of the notorious Rollin’ 60s Crips gang.
While many locals praised Henley’s community efforts, rapper Helecia Choyce, who collaborated with Henley, told Fox 11 in Los Angeles she lived in fear.
“You cannot do evil when the cameras are off and smile and help kids when the cameras are on,” Choyce said, alleging years of abuse and exploitation by Henley. “I was just a young kid wanting to rap and wanting to live out my dream and working hard. And, you know, he really took advantage of me.”
Choyce described a relationship wrought with threats and physical abuse.
“He wanted to bully me, he wanted to control me,” she said. “And when I wouldn’t allow that, that’s when he started jumping on me and beating me, extorting me, threatening people not to work with me. I was actually terrified.”
Choyce’s unsuccessfully sought a restraining order and her claims are currently unrelated to the charges filed by the FBI.
Federal investigators have linked part of their case against Henley to the 2021 murder of a young rapper in Las Vegas. Police sources reportedly said the rapper was killed over a disrespectful lyric aimed at Henley.
Allegations surfaced of misappropriated funds involving celebrity donors to Henley’s nonprofit, potentially including basketball icon Shaquille O’Neal. Authorities stressed that while donations might have supported youth programs in some capacity, significant portions of the funds were diverted.
Henley and his co-defendant Mejia remain in federal custody. AllHipHop will continue to cover as the investigation continues to unfold.
Eminem found himself at the center of a shady scandal after federal agents busted his former employee for allegedly selling the rapper’s unreleased music online.
Joseph Strange, 46, from Holly, Michigan, was slapped with federal charges for copyright infringement and interstate trafficking of stolen property, according to Acting U.S. Attorney Julie Beck.
The charges stem from accusations that Strange illegally peddled Eminem’s unfinished tracks on various websites.
The investigation kicked off in January 2025, when Eminem’s Ferndale, Michigan, studio staff stumbled upon their boss’s unreleased material floating around the internet.
Studio employees quickly recognized the leaked content as music still under development by the Hip-Hop icon. Even more suspiciously, the tracks were being openly sold online.
Studio insiders soon discovered an online image that matched a confidential list stored on a studio hard drive. Realizing they had a serious security breach, Eminem’s team immediately contacted the FBI.
Federal investigators traced the leaked music sales back to several buyers who all pointed the finger at Strange. The former employee had worked for Eminem for roughly 14 years, from 2007 until his departure in 2021.
Acting U.S. Attorney Beck emphasized the importance of protecting artists’ rights, stating, “Protecting intellectual property from thieves is critical in safeguarding the exclusive rights of creators and protecting their original work from reproduction and distribution by individuals who seek to profit from the creative output of others.”
Cheyvoryea Gibson, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Detroit Field Office, credited Eminem’s studio for their swift cooperation, noting, “Thanks to the cooperation of Mathers Music Studio, FBI agents from the Oakland County Resident Agency were able to swiftly enforce federal laws and ensure Joseph Strange was held accountable for his actions.”
If found guilty of copyright infringement, Strange could face up to five years behind bars and a fine of $250,000. The charge of interstate transportation of stolen goods carries an even harsher potential penalty—up to 10 years in federal prison.
The investigation remains ongoing, and prosecutors will later determine whether to pursue a felony indictment. Strange’s legal fate will likely be decided later in 2025.
Big U was caught on federal wiretaps openly admitting to violence and extortion, according to explosive court documents unsealed on Wednesday (March 19) in Los Angeles.
Federal prosecutors revealed damning wiretap recordings of Big U’s phone conversations.
In one intercepted call from 2023, Big U bluntly stated, “Can’t no n#### beef with me, n####. Cause if he do, I’m a kill him. Period. I. Am. Going. To. Murder. Him.”
Another December 31, 2022 recording captured Big U explaining his violent reputation.
“What you guys see on the Internet, y’all keep hearing other people who don’t have nothing to talk about but sell,” he said. “Let me explain something to you. If I would’ve had a problem with any man, color, creed, king, or kind, the issue would’ve been resolved, and he wouldn’t be here, or I wouldn’t be here. It ain’t no kid nothin’.
“And it damn near nobody who been in this muthafucka longer than me, can stand against me, and me be who I am. If I had a problem with any man and this wouldn’t be so funny to me. I’m still who they say I am.”
In another call in April 2023, Big U rejected claims of retirement from the Rollin’ ’60s gang he’s accused of leading.
“I’m retired, n####?” he said. “Activist? I’ll pull up on your block right now, n####, and show up and show out, n####. That’s what happened to the last n##### that thought I was retired.”
The FBI investigation, launched in 2021, uncovered Big U’s alleged leadership of the “Big U Enterprise,” described as a mafia-style organization leveraging his decades-long affiliation with the Rollin’ 60s gang.
Authorities say the enterprise engaged in a wide range of crimes, including murder, robbery, fraud schemes and human trafficking.
One particularly brutal allegation involves the January 2021 murder of an aspiring rapper identified only as “R.W.”
Court documents state Big U allegedly shot the victim in the face near Las Vegas after the rapper recorded a disrespectful track aimed at Big U.
Prosecutors also accuse Big U of defrauding donors to his nonprofit, Developing Options, which purportedly provided anti-gang programs for youth.
Instead, authorities claim he embezzled donations from celebrities and NBA players, funneling the money directly into his personal accounts.
While two alleged co-conspirators, Sylvester “Vey” Robinson and Mark “Bear Claw” Martin, were arrested today, Big U remains at large.
Federal authorities confirmed he has yet to surrender and is currently considered a fugitive from justice as of March 19.
Kanye West’s seemingly never-ending Twitter rant continues, with new individual targets to air out, including Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, JAY-Z, John Legend and Pusha T.
On Wednesday (March 19), West made incredibly damaging claims about Ventura while claiming multiple artists, celebrities and his own family have betrayed him. The latest extension of the rant follows Ventura’s purported response to West’s previous shots, which was a repost of Carti’s tweet telling West to “S###.”
Additionally, West’s updated cyber attack on Cassie Ventura appears to be retaliatory, considering the remark is inherently insensitive and references Diddy’s infamous “freak-off” parties, which are at the center of the incarcerated mogul’s federal indictment.
“CASSIE USED TO RUN ORGIES,” Kanye wrote in the tweet.
In another lengthy tweet, he lashed out at Cassie, alleging she orchestrated Diddy’s arrest through a series of calculated moves.
“CASSIE YOU SHUT THE F### UP,” he wrote in part. “YOU CAME TO EXTORT THE N#### DIAGIO PUT OUT A TEN YEAR OLD TAPE TO MAKE THE PUBLIC FOCUS ON THAT I RIDE WITH DIDDY CAUSE THATS EXACTLY WHAT ADIDAS TRIED TO DO TO ME THEY FROZE MY ACCOUNTS RIGHT BEFORE TAX TIME WHEN YOU DONT PAY 60 MILLION IN TAXES YOU GO TO JAIL GET IT IM NOT THE CRAZY ONE HERE.”
Part of what makes the level of insensitivity of West’s comments so high is rooted in his recent remarks, including tweets in which he admits to abusing women. However, specifically regarding Cassie Ventura and Diddy, West alleged that Ventura attempted to the legally shake Diddy down, writing, “SO CASSIE AIN’T EXTORT PUFF?”
He also downplayed the abuse Ventura allegedly suffered at the hands of Diddy, despite the release of the footage of the brutal 2016 hotel assault, by mocking the backlash Diddy faces as a whole.
But West’s incendiary tweets didn’t conclude there. In yet another string of remarks he accused a number of his frequent collaborators, such as Ty Dolla $ign, Travis Scott, Playboi Carti and more of back stabbing him. He even alleged his own family and kids turned their backs on him, though he “bled” for each and every person on the list.
“I AM IN PAIN THAT NO ONE PERSON CAN FIX,” he wrote. “THE BETRAYAL. VIRGIL. JOHN LEGEND. KIM. TRAV. CARTI. BIG SEAN. JAY Z. TY. TYLER. DURK. COMMON. CUDI. PUSHA. DON C. AMBER. THE KARDASHIANS. ADIDAS. DEMNA / BALENCIAGA. MY OWN KIDS. MY OWN FAMILY. THE BLACK COMMUNITY AND OF COURSE THE JEWS IM IN PAIN I BLED FOR EVERYONE HERE.”
As if all of that weren’t enough, West also tweeted more direct shots at JAY-Z. In addition to alleging the Roc Nation mastermind and Beyoncé could’ve done more to help him, he wound up predicting that his Watch the Throne album collaborator would be the person to kill him—that is if Drake and his shooters and/or Jewish people don’t get to him first.
“I LOVE JAY Z AND I DO FEEL BAD,” he wrote. “I ALWAYS FELT LIKE THE BLACK SHEEP LIKE I WANTED FAMILY IN THIS MUSIC S### I’D RUN ON STAGES THINKING I WAS DOING THE RIGHT THING AND WOULD ALWAYS BE A SLIGHT HOV NOT COMING TO MY FIRST WEDDING HIM PUTTING KENDRICK ON THE SUPERBOWL OVER ME OR EVEN US NEVER BEING INVITED TO S### TAKING JABS ABOUT MY RED HAT.
“ON DONDA I FELT LIKE BOTH HIM AND HIS WIFE COULD HAVE HELPED ME HAVE MORE LEVERAGE WITH MY KIDS THEY COULD HAVE USED THEIR CULTURAL POSITION TO NOT JUST WATCH THE KARDASHIANS RUN ME OVER. S### HURTS SO F### BOTH OF THEM CAUSE WHEN I NEEDED THEM IT WAS F### ME.”
And to top it all off, West went after his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, and her entire family, claiming that she was a sex trafficker and that his kid are caught up in a trafficking ring.
Kanye West has compared the late designer Virgil Abloh to Playboi Carti in response to his frequent collaborator’s latest dig at him.
On Wednesday (March 19), Ye made the comparison in response to Carti‘s tweet telling him to “S###” after the “CARNIVAL” hitmaker targeted him in a series of tweets, expressing his frustration over his daughter North West being featured on his new album, MUSIC.
More specifically, West is upset that Carti reached out to his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, in order to secure North’s vocals for his album without his knowledge. As a result, the first remark West tweeted referenced the aforementioned contact behind his back between Carti and Kardashian.
“SHOULD CARTI HAVE EVEN SPOKEN TO MY BABY MAMA AT ALL,” West wrote in the tweet.
In another separate tweet, West not only opted to disparage his former friend Virgil Abloh, but he also dragged Drake into the situation in an attempt to further degrade Carti.
“CARTI IS JUST A WAY MORE BASIC DUMBER VERSION OF VIRGIL,” he wrote in part before adding, “FINESSING YE AND DRAKE CO SIGNS.”
In yet another remark, West appeared to draw a line in the sand between where he and Carti stand, seemingly signaling the start of a full-blown beef.
“VIRGIL HAS MAXED OUT CARTI’S FINESSE CARD AINT NO HUGS THIS TIME,” he wrote.
West also retweeted a graphic designed by fan page which repurposed a poster of Marvel’s Captain America Civil War film with a meme pitting the likes of himself, Dave Blunts and Hitler up against Carti and his Opium signee Destroy Lonely, among others.
In another lengthy tweet, Ye appeared to reveal how betrayed he feels, exposing how he has “always” had Carti’s back while also breaking down why he felt his SKIMS bar from his MUSIC album track “Fine S###” was a slight against him.
“ONLY THINGS CARTI CAN SAY TO ME IS IM SORRY YOU KNOW I HAD TO USE THE JEWS PRINT THESE VYNALS AND DO BUNDLES TO PUMP UP SALES AND I SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN CONTACTING YOUR BABY MAMA ABOUT GETTING YOUR DAUGHTER ON A SONG AND RAPPING ABOUT SKIMS I WAS ALWAYS ON CARTI SIDE THEN N##### DO S### THEY KNOW THEY SHOULDNT DO,” he wrote.
Prior to his latest attack on Carti, West authored several other tweets in which he complained about Carti’s contact with Kardashian and also suggested he would reach out to the mother of the Atlanta rapper’s son, Iggy Azalea.
He again criticized Kendrick Lamar’s appearance on Carti’s album and accused him of being influenced by Jewish music executives to block him from being featured on the album—even though he has production credits. West also spoke about Azalea, claiming that he passed up an opportunity to be physically intimate with her due to his connection to Carti.
See West’s additional inflammatory tweets in the post below.

Timbaland has revealed he produced hits for JAY-Z, Beyoncé and Justin Timberlake while high on drugs because it made him believe his music was “amazing.”
During a recent appearance on “The Pivot” podcast, the legendary Hip-Hop producer admitted that creating music while under the influence of drugs felt “wonderful,” at least initially.
“Being on drugs and doing music was wonderful,” Timbaland explained around the 29-minute mark of the video below. “Because I’d think my music was like, amazing.”
The hitmaker behind some of music’s most iconic tracks explained that his struggles with substance abuse began around the time he was crafting Justin Timberlake’s acclaimed 2013 album “The 20/20 Experience.”
During that same period, he also worked on JAY-Z’s “Magna Carta Holy Grail” and the smash Beyoncé and JAY-Z collaboration “Drunk in Love.”
“It was fun,” Timbaland said. “Those were cool albums, but my best work was done when I wasn’t on drugs. That’s facts. It was just fun, creating. I was doing all of those albums back to back.”
Reflecting on his catalog, Timbaland acknowledged that while those projects were successful, they didn’t match the lasting impact of his earlier, drug-free hits.
“I look back at it now, and they were great,” he continued. “But they don’t stand like my big records, like ‘Big Pimpin,’ ‘Dirt Off Ya Shoulder,’ ‘One In A Million.'”
Timbo added, “Those are drug-free, so when I look back at my highlights, that’s probably a dip.”
Timbaland Opens Up About Battle With Addiction
Timbaland’s addiction troubles first surfaced in 2011 after he was prescribed painkillers like OxyContin and Percocet following a root canal procedure.
His dependency intensified further amid personal turmoil, including a difficult divorce and financial issues involving the IRS. During this dark period, Timbaland gained significant weight, developed prediabetes and described feeling constantly exhausted.
The turning point came after a vivid nightmare in which Timbaland saw himself with a ghostly white face. Determined to quit, he gradually tapered off his pill intake over two weeks until his supply was exhausted.
The withdrawal process, he previously recalled, was “one of the toughest things I’ve been through.”
Timbaland credits his children, girlfriend and faith in God for helping him overcome the challenging period.
Now sober since 2017, the producer remains dedicated to maintaining his health and continues to focus on his music career.
Henley, a longtime leader of the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips street gang and self-proclaimed community activist, stands accused of running a criminal enterprise that engaged in various racketeering crimes, including extortion, human trafficking, fraud and murder.
The criminal complaint, unsealed on Tuesday (March 18), alleges that Henley’s organization, referred to as the “Big U Enterprise,” operated as a mafia-like entity from 2010 to the present. The enterprise allegedly used Henley’s status and connections with street gangs to intimidate businesses and individuals in Los Angeles.
Among the most serious allegations is Henley’s involvement in the January 2021 murder of an aspiring rapper, identified as R.W., who’d recorded a diss track about Henley.
“Henley allegedly drove R.W. to North Las Vegas, shot him in the head, and dragged the victim’s body off Interstate 15 into the desert and left it in a ditch,” the docs read in part. “Henley returned to Los Angeles with Robinson and ordered studio workers to leave while his associate removed security surveillance footage from the studio. Henley allegedly later ordered witnesses to not speak with law enforcement about R.W.’s murder.”
In addition to violent crimes, Henley is accused of financial fraud. He allegedly submitted a fraudulent application for a COVID-19 pandemic relief loan, claiming his music label, Uneek Music, was operating at a $200,000 profit in 2019, when it had actually incurred a $5,000 loss.
Henley is also accused of embezzling donations made to his charity, Developing Options, which was marketed as an organization helping South Los Angeles youth avoid gang violence and criminal activity.
As of Wednesday (March 19), Henley is considered a fugitive, while two other alleged members of his criminal enterprise, Sylvester Robinson and Mark Martin, have been arrested. If convicted, Henley could face a maximum sentence of life in federal prison. The case is the result of a four-year investigation by the FBI, IRS Criminal Investigation and local law enforcement agencies, aimed at combating gang violence and organized crime in Los Angeles.
“The RICO charges against Mr. Henley and his associates reflect a pattern of crimes that runs the gambit from extortion to tax evasion, all under the umbrella of a well-organized criminal organization led by Mr. Henley,” Special Agent in Charge Tyler Hatcher, IRS Criminal Investigation, Los Angeles Field Office, said. “Additionally, Mr. Henley allegedly duped the County of Los Angeles by running a charitable organization that promoted anti-gang solutions while continuing criminal activity that was directly contrary to his charity. IRS-CI is proud to partner with fellow law enforcement organizations to investigate these criminal organizations to protect our communities from further harm.”
Henley helped launch the career of Nipsey Hussle and was once called rap’s “godfather” by Wiz Khalifa. Henley previously served 13 years in prison after trying to rob an undercover sheriff’s deputy of 33 pounds of cocaine in 1991.
Kanye West is continuing his latest social media rant, slamming ex-wife Kim Kardashian while accusing Toronto rapper Top 5 of threatening him.
On Tuesday (March 18), West took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share screenshots of text messages allegedly sent by Top5, who appeared eager to grab the rapper’s attention.
The messages featured Top5 persistently reaching out with statements like “Ask about me Yeeeeee” and declaring, “I’m Him.”
In another message, Top5 compared himself to West, asserting, “I’m in my through the wire phase get to know me.”
Unimpressed, West called out Top5 for allegedly bombarding him with calls.
“Where’s the 30 phone calls in a row now that I posted the weird ass threatening text,” West wrote. He also dismissed Top5’s attempts to intimidate him, saying, “Broooo I don’t care about threats.”
The situation escalated when West labeled Top5 as “Drake’s shooter” and taking a jab at Kardashian, referring to her as an “old white lady.”
“This dumb ass n#### gone get everybody locked up,” Kanye West said of Top5. “Next thing you know Drake gets charged with a Rico.”
He continued, claiming that Drake “paid” to get Top5 out of jail only for him to snitch to Kanye West about Drizzy sending Kim Kardashian Birkin bags for Valentine’s Day.
“I don’t give a f### about that old white lady,” West said, referencing his ex-wife. “Other than her always pulling b####### with my black children.”
Top5 didn’t let West’s comments slide, sharing Ye’ tweets on his Instagram Stories with the caption, “S### Kanye.”
He later shared another alleged DM exchange with West. “I crashed for less,” he wrote. “What do you think I’ll do to a billionaire.”
Teyana Taylor is demanding a judge jail her ex-husband, Iman Shumpert, for allegedly leaking confidential divorce details to the press, escalating their already messy split into a courtroom showdown.
Taylor accused Shumpert of intentionally releasing sealed court records to media outlets, triggering a wave of negative publicity and online harassment directed at her, TMZ reports.
The singer and actress claimed the disclosure led to widespread misinformation about their divorce and damaged her public image.
The controversy began shortly after Taylor’s viral Oscar night Instagram post with British actor Aaron Pierre.
Days later, reports surfaced describing a supposed lavish divorce settlement, claiming Taylor walked away with four luxury properties valued at over $10 million, multiple expensive vehicles—including a $300,000 Maybach, a $70,000 Mercedes Sprinter, and a customized tour bus—and complete control of her businesses.
Shumpert was reportedly ordered to pay $8,000 monthly in child support and cover private school tuition for their two daughters.
Taylor disputed these reports, clarifying the court’s decision was not a negotiated settlement but rather a judicial allocation of assets, including some she financed herself.
She pointed out the Maybach, stating she bought it after Shumpert crashed and abandoned her Rolls Royce. Additionally, Taylor noted that while she received four properties, Shumpert was awarded three—including a Miami condo she claims she originally gifted him.
In her petition, Taylor highlighted the suspicious timing of the leak, noting it coincided with Shumpert’s latest song release—suggesting a deliberate effort to generate publicity at her expense.
She also argued that the leaked information fueled widespread misinformation, triggering intense public backlash and a surge of hostile comments.
Teyana Taylor urged the judge to hold Iman Shumpert accountable for violating court orders, requesting he face a 20-day jail sentence and monetary penalties for contempt of court.

She was displeased with how the show managed LoRosa’s role and initially resented her presence, only to later recognize that her real frustrations stemmed from the show’s internal operations.
Her discontent grew even more when comedian Corey Holcomb publicly ridiculed her absence while applauding LoRosa’s on-air performance.
Holcomb roasted Jess, stating, “They got somebody doing your segment better than you, and it’s flawless.” He further criticized Jess’ on-air reading skills and labeled her “Less Hilarious.”
In her Instagram Live session, Jess directly addressed the lack of support from her co-hosts.
“We supposed to be a team,” she asserted. “But not one person comes to my defense at all. Ever.”

Tyrese is at it again, and this time he might just transform his viral Marvin Gaye-inspired moment into a whole TV series.
We all know Tyrese Gibson never sits still. Dude can sing, rap and dance in just one show. Oh yeah, he can also act. Last year, he dropped one of the best R&B projects of 2024, the profoundly personal album Beautiful Pain, which was dedicated to his late mother.
The standout track, “Wildflower,” wasn’t just a typical R&B ballad. Tyrese decided to pay homage to Marvin Gaye but went viral recreating the legend’s iconic national anthem performance. That signature red beanie…
Fast-forward to 2025, Ty might be taking this from the small screen to TV screens. The rumor mill has it that producers are exploring the possibility of adapting this short film into a series. Could you imagine? Tyrese could be taking us back in time, through his life, talking about love, loss, and triumph? I am game.
That’s not all our friend has cooking. Currently, Tyrese is hitting the road, spreading that soulful goodness on tour. He made an annoucement about the Jersey stop but some took offense! The LA-born entertainer hopped on Instagram Live talking about NJ then began targeting New Yorkers! “Hey New York, what’s up with Jersey?”
LOL! Naturally, Jersey natives quickly jumped into the conversation like “Wait a minute—you’re performing here and asking New Yorkers questions?!” It was just friendly interstate banter! Check out the info below!
Tyrese handled it all with charm, promising a great show. So, could we really see Tyrese’s Marvin Gaye-inspired video blossom into the next binge-worthy show? Only time will tell, but let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
Tracy Morgan has revealed the cause of the medical emergency that prompted his exit from the New York Knicks game.
On Monday (March 17), Morgan was rushed out of Madison Square Garden during the Knicks game against the Miami Heat after he fell ill while sitting court side. The former Saturday Night Live actor was taken away in a wheelchair after he began vomiting and bleeding from the nose.
In a chipper message he shared with his Instagram followers the following day, he confirmed he was doing much better and assured his fans and supporters the incident was nothing serious.
“Thank you for all your concern,” Morgan wrote in the caption of the post. “I’m doing OK now and doctors say it was food poisoning. Appreciate my MSG family for taking such good care of me and I need to shout out the crew that had to clean that up. Appreciate you!”
Like the true and blue Knicks fan he is, Morgan went on to send a shout out to his squad, who outlasted the Heat in a 116 to 95 win, while making light of his early exit from the game.
“More importantly, the Knicks are now 1-0 when I throw up on the court so maybe I’ll have to break it out again in the playoffs #goknicks,” he signed off.
While 50 Cent was one of the lone celebrities to troll Morgan over the incident, several others were understandably disturbed to see him in such distress and expressed their relief in supportive messages in the comments section.
“Love you brother prayed all night for you!,” Fat Joe wrote in a comment. DJ Premier added, “Glad ur good bro!” Papoose also wrote, “Love you my brother… get well soon!”
Taraji P. Henson, who starred in the film What Men Want alongside Morgan in 2019, also chimed in with her two cents, seemingly offering a reminder to her co-star about a health conscious talk they previously shared.
“Alright now TRACY!!!!!!!” Taraji P. Henson started off in her comment. “Take care of yourself. Remember that talk we had. I love you”
