Nick Cannon has confessed that he still has “intimate” relationships with some of the mothers of his children.
The TV host is set to become a father for the eighth time, having confirmed last month that he is expecting a baby boy with model Bre Tiesi.
Nick Cannon also shares 10-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with his ex-wife Mariah Carey, son Golden and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell, and twins Zion and Zillion with Abby De La Rosa.
While Cannon no longer has any romantic involvement with Mariah, he indicated during a chat with his therapist Dr. Laura Berman on “The Nick Cannon Show” that he still has “intimacy” with the other women.
“I think that’s what I struggle with because, clearly if I care for someone, if I have a child with someone, there has been intimacy. And there probably will continue to be intimacy because there’s true, authentic love there,” he said.
Nick Cannon insisted he does not have a “sister wife” or polygamist setup.
“I think they have to (know that). I think the world knows,” the 41-year-old continued. “And it’s easy to say, ‘Look, let’s just focus on our child or children,’ and then what ends up happening… then one good night at Nobu and the sake gets going… that chemistry… I’m a lover. I’m a hopeless romantic. You put me in the right environment with someone I have a child with? And I watch you be an amazing mother. Of course, I’m attracted to you. Everything’s complicated. Some of the women that I’m involved with deal with it better than others. I think they’re all secure in themselves to even have to deal with a person like me.”
The defining hip-hop artist of our time was born Shawn Corey Carter in New York City on December 4th, 1969.
Jay-Z is the first major successful hip-hop artist who has become just as known for his business ventures as his music. With a number of pioneering releases such as The Blueprint and The Black Album that made his name, his career started from tough circumstances.
Jay-Z’s early years in Brooklyn in the projects meant he had to put up with a lot! After his father abandoned the family, it gave him an appreciation of what it takes to work hard and to provide.
During his stint at George Westinghouse Career and Technical Education High School (also attended by Busta Rhymes and the Notorious B.I.G. at the time), he freely admits to selling crack cocaine during this era and was shot at three times.
His entrepreneurial instincts formed alongside his musical ambitions.
A boombox bought for him by his mother would lead him to write lyrics and freestyling, and it was during this time he adopted his stage name Jay-Z as a homage to his mentor Jaz-O.
With no record deal, Jay-Z sold CDs out of his car and took a leaf out of the book of self-made artists like Dr. Dre, and set up an independent record label called Roc-A-Fella Records in 1995 with partners Damon Dash and Kareem “Biggs” Burke.
From there, his star shone. His debut album Reasonable Doubt was released in 1996. Since then, chart domination, collaborations with everyone from Kanye to Mariah Carey, his high-profile relationship with Beyonce, and his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021 have meant we have not stopped talking about him since!
With a business empire covering so many industries, from real estate to clothing, record labels, and cannabis, Jay-Z has a number of brands. He has referred to as an extension of himself – “I am not a businessman, I’m a business man.”
His success in this field is arguably down to his wholehearted emotional investment in his entrepreneurial career. From 2003, when he advertised his S. Carter Collection with Reebok, Jay-Z has been on a path where successful investments built his business brand in so many ways.
His first mega-deal came in 2007 when he sold the Rocawear brand for $204 million. He has served as brand advisors for companies as diverse as Budweiser Select and launched the streaming service Tidal, which he sold to Square for $350 million). His wildly popular champagne brand Armand de Brignac sold for at least $300 million in cash to LVMH.
Stakes in teams like the Brooklyn Nets, spirits company Sovereign Brands, the successful Roc Nation brand (which coordinates the Super Bowl Halftime show), as well as running a “budding” cannabis empire helped Jay-Z officially become hip-hop’s first billionaire in June 2019.
His role as an investor covers a number of disciplines.
His investments have covered art, real estate, and course music, making him an entrepreneurial force to be reckoned with. His most significant accomplishments in music alone have meant that every year he earns between $70 million and $80 million without needing to go on tour or record any music!
Jay-Z has made history as the first billionaire hip-hop artist but coming from very humble beginnings has made him realize the importance of the hustle. He is also the first solo rapper inducted into the Rock Hall and Roll Hall of Fame as well as the first rapper to make it into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
This is, no doubt, why he has that drive to keep proving himself, and there is no sign of him slowing down.
Griselda member Benny the Butcher has been accused of stealing a woman’s jewelry after the two shared an evening at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills.
She alleged that after the two rendezvoused, the rapper bounced with a pair of earrings valued at $10,000.
According to TMZ, this robbery is said to have had happened a few weeks ago.
The unnamed woman said that she knows that the artist took her stuff because he admitted it to her — and even said he would bring the earrings back to her.
The woman filed the report because now, he is saying that the earrings have been lost.
The rapper is not losing sleep over the accusation. He is celebrating the drop of Conway the Machine’s recent release “John Woo Flick,” a fire joint featuring himself and Westside Gunn, and claiming his spot as a bright spot in authentic lyricism.
I can admit Im not the best rapper one of yea but not THE BEST my presence jus bigger cause Im way more authentic genuine articulate realer down to earth flyer hungrier more of a hustler more of a boss & sturdier than n##### thats why my s### more appealing & wat makes me better

Benny the Butcher has yet to reply to the woman’s allegation.
Move over D.C. and Marvel: rapper 50 Cent is jumping into the action film world after optioning a comic book called “Xerø” from Christopher Priest.
The Queens rapper’s company, G-Unit Film & Television, will develop the project alongside Color Farm Media into a full-out movie.
According to Deadline, “Xerø” is about a Black government assassin named Trane Walker who has the ill superpower to turn himself into a white man, blend in with the international elite and cause a ruckus.
The fictional Trane Walker lives in East St. Louis, where no one knows that he uses his unique ability to travel to Casino Royale in Europe and kill folk while on assignment.
“There’s no one better than Christopher Priest to bring G-Unit Film & Television into the world of comic book superheroes,” the “How to Rob” rapper-turned-film executive stated. “Watch as we build ‘Xerø’ into a franchise alongside Christopher and Color Farm Media. I can’t wait for the world to meet Trane Walker in an all-new way.”
Priest, the creator of “Xerø” said, “‘Xerø’ depicts a slow-moving car wreck at the intersection of race and class. The commonality of struggle represented by the life experiences of Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson, G-Unit Film & Television, and Color Farm assure a broad depth of first-hand appreciation for that delicate balance. It’s exciting to be working together to create this new world.”
Comic book vet and “The Cosby Show” alum Erika Alexander joins Ben Arnon for Color Farm and Joseph Illidge, who serves as CEO of the newly-launched production and publishing company, Illuminous, as partners for this film.
No word on who the team is considering for the lead role.

Desiigner released a music video featuring the late Bob Saget.
The video was Bob Saget’s final acting role before he passed away in January. The Full House star plays a chef in the video for Desiigner’s “Bakin” single with DJ Whoo Kid and Slushii.
“We needed a chef for the video and I remember thinking, ‘Who the f### is gonna be the chef who can make it weird?’” Whoo Kid told Rolling Stone. “Then immediately I thought ‘Bob Saget!’ Nobody on set believed me when I said he’d come until he actually drove up and rang the bell like this was a Full House episode.
The DJ added, “When you have rappers pull up for videos, they bring a Maybach or rent a Lambo, they show off. He shows up and parks his Lexus on the grass and comes in looking like a dad.”
Desiigner’s “Bakin” video was shot in mid-December. Bob Saget passed away a few weeks later. He was 65.
The respected comedian’s cause of death was accidental head trauma. He was found dead in a hotel room in Orlando.
Bob Saget was best known for playing Danny Tanner in the sitcom Full House. He was also the original host of America’s Funniest Home Videos.

Drew Findling, the attorney for DaBaby, isn’t happy about his client facing a lawsuit from DaniLeigh’s brother Brandon Curiel.
Findling criticized Curiel’s lawsuit while speaking to TMZ. DaBaby’s lawyer labeled Curiel as the instigator in the bowling alley brawl involving his client and DaniLeigh’s brother.
“It is offensive that this alleged victim threatened and instigated violence and has now used this incident to make a quick money grab,” Findling told TMZ.
Curiel filed a lawsuit against DaBaby after they got into a fight at a bowling alley in Tarzana, California. Footage of the incident showed the Interscope Records artist and his entourage beating up Curiel.
DaniLeigh’s brother sued DaBaby for assault, battery, emotional distress and negligence. Curiel says he suffered physical and psychological damage. He is seeking compensation for medical bills and sustained disability.
Police are investigating DaBaby for assault. He claims he acted in self-defense.
“Garbage like this has no place adding to the backlog and wasting law enforcement time and energy,” his attorney said.
The confrontation between DaBaby and Curiel happened a few months after the latter challenged his sister’s ex-boyfriend to a fight. Curiel took aim at the controversial rapper over some much-publicized relationship drama, which resulted in DaniLeigh facing assault charges.

A talented recording artist with a spontaneous creative process: it’s all about following the mood of the moment to make great sounds happen.
It is not every day that you come across an artist with a dream and a unique story to tell. However, this is most definitely the case of Lu Mun E, an artist who is originally from Ecuador, South America. When he was only a 6-months old baby, his family actually relocated to New Jersey, and eventually to Charlotte, North Carolina. This is the place where Lu Mun E has been living since he was only 3, and consequently, it is also where he first became aquatinted with music.
He discovered the magic of sound at a very young age, and he remembers loving music throughout his entire life. In 2012, he had the opportunity to hang out at a friend’s home studio, where he actually worked on recording his first song. That process was an instant hit for Lu Mun E, who was hooked to the world of music and never looked back. He continued to develop this passion and soon moved from being a beginner to becoming a skilled music artist and songwriter, someone with a deep understanding of how music works and how to make the very best of it in almost any situation.
2012 was also the year Lu Mun E put out his first body of work titled “Cali Weed & Promethazine” hosted by the North Carolina legend “The Incredible Dj Polo.” He spent many years honing his craft and developing new skills, up to the point that he eventually released a fantastic new project titled “Money Machine Music.” This release was dropped in 2021, almost a decade since Lu Mun E’s Musical journey began! This project was a very important milestone for him, it felt like a perfect way to show the world just how much focus he put into his craft, and how much time he invested into becoming the very best music creator that he could possibly be. This isn’t just a cookie-cutter, a common type of artist.
No, Lu Mun E takes great care in crafting every detail of his production from the grounds up, and as a result, his sound is something to write home about. In addition to showcasing significant technical mastery, Lu Mun E is quite special because he also knows when to strike. This means that he knows not to force anything into existence, but rather let inspiration come and illuminate the right path towards creativity.
What makes his creativity so spontaneous and innovative is most definitely the fact that Lu Mun E lets his whole process be guided by the mood at any given time, the vibe of a session, the people he’s with if he ever collaborates on something – literally everything matters, and the circumstances of the situation might lead to new ideas and new types of ideas. Sometimes, Lu Mun E starts his recording process by listening to instrumental beats and instantly locking in with a melody to match and uncover that elusive hook, which is key to a catchy and well-received song.
This is only the tip of the iceberg: Lu Mun E has a very broad range of influences, and the essence of his artistry style knows no limits. He is always eager to make great music happen, and his sound is influential and memorable because of that.
Find out more about Lu Mun E, and do not miss out on his new music. You can connect with the artist on your favorite social media platforms, and you can also find his sounds on all streaming services.
By reaching into our lives and diving deep into what is in our souls, music can sometimes take us to new places, exploring the depths of human emotion. Songwriters may convey beautiful stories with sound and words that captivate our minds and leave us fascinated by their reach. For example, the lyrical melody and depth meanings of Leilani’s debut single “Last Strike” have listeners in awe hanging onto each work and sound.
Born in Illinois, Chicago, Leilani is a singer and songwriter with a unique talent for putting meaning into a song. “It was an amazing experience,” says Leilani. “The current outline for my creative process is finding a beat, freestyling over the beat, and then reviewing the freestyle to cultivate the general message/meaning of the song. After that, I create a music video rollout for the song. This way I have full creative control of my entire process” Leilani has launched music that genuinely reaches listeners.
There are hurdles an artist faces when they work on any project and in the case of Leilani, it was ‘Lack of confidence’ and ‘Fear. But she handled it in an impressive way. She made herself understand that “confidence” is the key while pursuing any project which helped Leilani gain the faith in herself back.
Passionate about music since the age of five, Leilani sings like a seasoned professional at just 24 years old. “ The reality of being an independent artist/producer is very different compared to my initial expectations of it. It requires so much more hard work and discipline than I originally thought. An artist/producer partying and having fun is realistically only a small portion of our lives and busy schedules.,” says Leilani.
Leilani, who bears a strong likeness to her brother Polo G, sings sweet melodies on her new single. The piano-infused beat resembles the instrumentals that her brother uses in his songs and the lyrics of the song tell us about the heartbreak. “Last Strike” is just the beginning of a string of hits to come in the future.

A convicted drug kingpin and three other men have been accused of murdering the grandparents of HoneyKomb Brazy.
According to Fox 10 News in Mobile, Darrin Jamark “DD” Southall was among the people charged for the murder of Tony and Leila Lewis. Terrance Watkins, Jamarcus Chambers and an unidentified fourth suspect are also facing murder charges.

HoneyKomb Brazy, whose real name is Nahshon Jones, is currently serving a 15-year prison sentence. A probation violation landed him back behind bars, forcing him to serve the full sentence for a gun conviction.

Kanye West has officially responded to Kim Kardashian’s efforts to legally become single amid their divorce proceedings.
According to courtdocuments obtained by multipleoutlets, Kanye West objected to his estranged wife’s attempt to expedite the termination of their marital status. ‘Ye is open to Kim Kardashian being single again, but he has some concerns.
“Terminating marital status before custody, property and support issues are resolved creates a risk of adverse consequences,” his legal team contends. “This is especially true if one of the parties were to pass away while the case is pending. An early termination of status also creates barriers to obtaining evidence if a party remarries before the case is concluded.”
Kanye West has three requests for Kim Kardashian. He’s seeking to establish a right of reimbursement for any money owed to either party in case one of them dies. He’s also demanding no assets be transferred from any trusts they created.
Lastly, ‘Ye is asking Kim Kardashian to waive marital privilege until they’ve reached a custody agreement. This would make their communications part of the court record.
Kanye West wants Kim Kardashian to waive the privilege if she remarries too. This would give the court access to any custody conversations between her and a new husband.
Kim Kardashian filed to divorce Kanye West in February 2021. A hearing for her motion to legally be declared single is scheduled to happen in March.
Born in Ocala, Florida on September 19th, 1992 Erin Jackson has become the first black female athlete to win an Olympic medal in speed skating.
Born to a retired firetruck builder father and a pharmacy technician mother (who passed away when she was in high school), Erin Jackson’s earliest memory of the Olympics was watching Michelle Kwan and other figure skaters competing.
Little did she know how how much of an influential figure she was going to be in the world of the Olympics.
Having attended Shores Christian Academy, Howard Middle School, and Forest High School, Jackson went onto the University of Florida, graduating with honors from the Materials Science & Engineering program.
Upon graduating in 2015, she went on to earn an associate degree in computer science and has also started a degree in exercise science and kinesiology while also looking towards a master’s in biomechanics.
Jackson’s association with skating began when she was 8, when she first tried figure skating and went on to win gold in the 500m inline skating race at the 2008/2009 Junior World Championships. She received the accolade of the United States Olympic Committee Female Athlete of the Year for Roller Sports in 2012 and 2013.
Having changed from artistic roller skating to inline skating after coaches had told her she was too fast, Jackson won 12 world championship medals and 47 titles in inline skating.
But it was only in 2016 was when she started to speed-skate on the ice finding her form. After moving to Salt Lake City to train in 2017 she initially quit, returning back home to Florida.
But the call of the ice was clearly too much.
When traveling to the Olympic trials in January 2018 she chose not to tell anybody, as she had started her speedskating career just five months before the Olympic trials.
Clearly, there was nothing to worry about, and Jackson qualified for The World Games 2017, where she competed in inline speed skating and also qualified for the 500 meters long track speed skating event at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Finishing 24th in her Winter Olympics debut and coming in first at the 2022 Winter Olympics has meant that this is the first medal for any U.S. speed skater since 2010.
A relative newcomer to the world of ice skating, Jackson started ice skating at the age of 25, but she’s now become one of the biggest names in Winter Olympics history.
On February 13th, 2022, Erin Jackson won Gold in women’s 500m with a time of 37.04, making history in the process, having become the first black woman to win a Winter Olympic Gold in an individual sport (speed skating) and being the first American woman to win Olympic Gold in speed skating since Chris Witty in 2002.
Jay-Z was one of the names that made Mitchell & Ness a popular clothing brand in the late 90s and early 2000s.
According to reports, the rap mogul has acquired the brand as a part of his massive business portfolio in a $250 million deal with sports merchandise giant Fanatics.
Mitchell & Ness is a vintage jersey maker company out of Philadelphia.
Michael Rubin, Fanatics’ CEO, has teamed up with Hov, Meek Mill, Lil Baby, and Maverick Carter, a business partner of LeBron James, to purchase the brand.
Also connected to the deal is the D’Amelio family, a famous crew on TikTok that has tons of fans.
The Roc Nation founder is also an investor in Fanatic. He jumped on board with the latest funding round of $322 million that helped the brand leap to an evaluation worth $18 billion.
At one point, Hip-Hop culture kept Mitchell & Ness hot with urban fashion players. Fabolous and Outkast’s Big Boi led the wave. Jay-Z also was known to throw on an ill throwback.
Jay-Z’s reconnection to the brand is interesting after he almost tanked the market in 2003 with one line from “What More Can I Say” from The Black Album.
Jigga spit, “Cris’ caseloads, I don’t give a s###/ N####, one life to live, I can’t let a day go/ By without me bein’ fly, fresh to death/ Head to toe ’til the day I rest/ And I don’t wear jerseys, I’m 30-plus/ Give me a crisp pair of jeans, n####, button-ups.”
With his acquisition of the company, one that has been around for almost 120 years, Jay-Z will have the ability to breathe new life in it.
Thus far, the book of Yeezus continues to be written. By and large, with diligent effort, the revolutionary rapper is evolving into a cultural icon. So, somehow Kanye West manages to take time out of his day. In fact, he effortless clears up a $100,000 worth of confusion!
As of late, Ye is figuring out his new normal. Currently, the acclaimed artist, along with his estrange wife, are delving into very public divorce proceedings. In addition, to the pending divorce the couple’s respective dating shenanigans are becoming absolutely epic.
Regardless, the level of background cacophony, Kanye West keeps focusing on his music. Moreover, the spotlight always shines most brightly upon the Jeen-Yuhs subject’s creativity. So, with the highly-anticipated Donda 2 — which happens to drop on Feb. 22, 2022 — the world anxiously awaits.
However, it seems as though, with the world, Future is already sharing some of Yeezy’s precious gems. Recently, via his personal Instagram account, Mr. Freebandz issues a rather challenging post. Although, the interaction has since been deleted, the good folks over at The Shade Room still has the receipts.
Furthermore, the curious caption reads, “F### FLOWERS SENDA HUNDRED THOUSAND.” So, naturally many assume the ATLien is referencing a wonderous gift for Valentine’s Day. Actually, what is better than a bouquet of Blue Faces? Be that as it may, a humble Kanye West humbly sets the record straight.
Consequently, the “All Mine” MC adds context to the curious post. Mr. West includes, “I’m so honored that Future quoted my bars from Donda 2. Go to stemplayer.com to purchase,” comments a cajoling Kanye.
At the time of his detainment, Barnett was a passenger in Johnson’s car and was charged for being an accessory. Prosecutors say Barnett helped Johnson escape from Memphis as the cops hunted for him allegedly murdering Young Dolph.
While held in Indiana, Barnett was supposed to be extradited to Memphis with Johnson, but something happened that impeded the plan.
Within the month, on January 21st, Indiana officials say Shelby County instructed them to let Barnett go.
Clay County Sheriff Paul Harden said, “On January 11th, Mr. Shundale Barnett was brought to the Clay County Jail by the Indiana State Police from an arrest on I-70. He was booked in the Clay County Jail on an outstanding warrant from Shelby County, Tennessee.”
“We held them (Johnson and Barnett), contacted Shelby County, and held him (Barnett) on their warrant, and we were contacted on January 21st, and they told us that they were no longer wanting to come up and pick up Mr. Barnett and that we were to release him at that time.”
Sheriff Harden said they have “no idea” where Barnett is.
The U.S. Marshals Service said that in addition to helping Johnson go on the lamb, Barnett faced charges of criminal attempt to commit first-degree murder and theft of property.
