T.I. is facing a legal battle in Atlanta after TV producer Cylia Senii accused him of hijacking the title of her long-running web series Situationships for his upcoming comedy film.
The lawsuit alleges that the rapper-turned-filmmaker and his company, Grand Hustle Films, knowingly infringed on Senii’s intellectual property by using the same title for a movie she says mirrors her original concept.
Senii and her Atlanta-based company, Featherstone Entertainment, are seeking damages and an injunction to block the film’s release.
Senii claims she first launched Situationships in 2016 and actively produced it through 2024. The series, which explores modern dating and relationships, is available on platforms including YouTube, BET Digital, Amazon Prime, and Tubi.
According to the complaint, Senii sent a cease-and-desist letter to T.I. in December 2024 after learning about the film.
It also alleges that individuals who previously worked on Senii’s series later joined the production of T.I.’s film, raising questions about how much of her original work may have been used without permission.
Senii’s legal team argues that the rapper’s film “intentionally trades on the goodwill and brand recognition” of her series.
They claim that T.I. and his collaborators “acted with full knowledge” of her project and “deliberately chose to proceed in spite of that knowledge.”
The legal filing states, “Defendants’ unauthorized use of the Situationships mark is likely to cause confusion, mistake, or deception among consumers.”
She also filed opposition to his trademark application, which the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ultimately denied in May 2025.
The lawsuit accuses T.I. of trademark infringement, unfair competition and civil conspiracy.
T.I. has not publicly commented on the lawsuit. His film, which he wrote and directed, has not yet been given a release date.
North West rang in her 12th birthday with a lavish getaway to Los Cabos, Mexico, where a private beach house and a luxury yacht set the scene for a weekend of celebration.
The daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West spent her birthday surrounded by close friends and cousins, enjoying a sprawling oceanfront estate complete with a pool, a waterslide, a volleyball net and oversized inflatable swans.
The multi-day celebration also featured outdoor movie nights and a cruise along the Pacific Ocean aboard a high-end yacht. The festivities took place last weekend and were in honor of North’s birthday on Sunday (June 15).
Kim Kardashian shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, posting a carousel of throwback photos and writing, “Happy 12th Birthday my sweet girl North. I love you so much. You are the silliest, smartest, most independent 12 year old in the world and I’m so proud to be your mom. I love you so so so much.”
The beach house, located along the Baja California coast, served as the central hub for the celebration. The group spent time lounging poolside, playing beach volleyball and enjoying the warm June weather.
The yacht excursion offered panoramic views of the Pacific and capped off the weekend with a dose of glamor and adventure.
North, the eldest of Kim and Kanye’s four children has grown up in the public eye and is no stranger to extravagant birthday parties. Past celebrations have included everything from themed sleepovers to private performances.
This year’s trip to Mexico focused on laid-back luxury, with ample space for the kids to play and unwind.
The celebration comes as Kardashian continues to balance her business ventures and law studies while Kanye West remains largely out of the spotlight.
The former couple, who finalized their divorce in 2022, continue to co-parent their children.
Fat Joe‘s name is being dragged through the mud following the filing of an explosive new lawsuit accusing the Terror Squad captain of horrific acts. But Fat Joe’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, tells AllHipHop it’s nothing more than an attempt at revenge.
Fat Joe (real name Joseph Antonio Cartagena) already sued the accuser, Terrance Dixon, and his embattled attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, for libel. Now, he believes Dixon and Blackburn are simply retaliating out of spite.
“The lawsuit filed by Tyrone Blackburn and Terrance Dixon is a blatant act of retaliation—a desperate attempt to deflect attention from the civil suit we filed first, which exposed their coordinated scheme to extort Mr. Cartagena through lies, threats, and manufactured allegations,” Tacopina says. “We didn’t just sue a disgruntled former employee trying to revive a false claim from 15 years ago—we sued the lawyer behind it all. Tyrone Blackburn has a well-documented pattern of abusing the courts to harass defendants and generate media attention.
“Two separate federal judges have condemned his conduct—one for filing headline-chasing lawsuits full of salacious and baseless claims, and another for making repeated legal misstatements and personal attacks in court filings. He is now the subject of a pending referral to the Southern District’s disciplinary committee.”
He continues, “Law enforcement is aware of the extortionate demand at the heart of this scheme. The allegations against Mr. Cartagena are complete fabrications—lies intended to damage his reputation and force a settlement through public pressure. Mr. Cartagena will not be intimidated. We have taken legal action to expose this fraudulent campaign and hold everyone involved accountable.”
Dixon filed a $20 million civil RICO lawsuit against the Bronx rapper in federal court on Thursday (June 19), alleging years of exploitation, fraud and abuse under what he calls “The Cartagena Enterprise.” The complaint accuses Fat Joe of orchestrating a criminal operation involving forced labor, sexual coercion, financial fraud and witness intimidation.
“[Fat Joe] employed persistent verbal abuse, threats of physical violence, erratic and insufficient payment, manipulative control over travel and accommodations, and continuous humiliation,” Dixon claimed. “Collectively, these coercive tactics resulted in chronic emotional and psychological distress, profound anxiety, and severe trauma that continue to affect [Dixon] to this day.”
But Fat Joe filed suit against Dixon and Blackburn in April for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. In the complaint, Fat Joe outlines how Dixon and Blackburn conspired to extort him for money and it started on March 23, when both parties sent a written demand to Fat Joe seeking financial compensation for being a “ghostwriter and uncredited vocalist” on some of his songs.
When the false demand was ignored, they threatened to file a complaint not just for unpaid wages and other compensation, but also false and outrageous allegations against Fat Joe, including unspeakable acts such as statutory rape, forced labor, sex trafficking, and fraud.
Blackburn also told Tacopina he’d verified all the allegations and had spoken to critical witnesses, including one of the alleged minors, who ultimately denied ever speaking to Blackburn.
“These allegations are completely false and part of a criminal conspiracy orchestrated between a disgruntled former hype man and his attorney,” Fat Joe said. “These two individuals have been scheming together to extort me with their elaborate and ludicrous demands changing by the day. The relentless threats, harassment, and defamation I’ve endured as they peddle salacious lies are utterly deplorable. I’m taking legal action to expose their misconduct and I’m fully confident that the facts will reveal this is nothing more than a deceptive and desperate scam.”
Fat Joe is facing a civil RICO lawsuit filed Thursday (June 19) in New York federal court by longtime associate Terrance Dixon, who claims the rapper subjected him to years of unpaid labor, sexual coercion, and threats of violence as part of an alleged criminal enterprise.
Dixon, also known as “TA,” worked alongside Fat Joe for over 16 years as a hype man, lyricist, security aide and creative partner.
In April, Fat Joe denied Dixon’s allegations and filed a preemptive lawsuit against Dixon and his lawyer, Tyrone Blackburn, claiming they were attempting to extort him into settling the matter.
“These allegations are completely false and part of a criminal conspiracy orchestrated between a disgruntled former hype man and his attorney. These two individuals have been scheming together to extort me with their elaborate and ludicrous demands changing by the day,” Fat Joe said in a statement before the filing of Dixon’s lawsuit.
In the 157-page complaint, Dixon accuses the Bronx rapper of exploiting his loyalty while withholding royalties, songwriting credits and compensation.
Here are five of the most disturbing allegations tied to what Dixon and his lawyer have dubbed the “Cartagena Enterprise.”
Alleged Cover-Up of Statutory Rape Involving Teenage Singer
Dixon claims he witnessed the downfall of a 15-year-old artist named K-Rose, who was signed to Epidemic Records, a label run by producer Andre “Dre” Christopher Lyon.
According to the suit, Dre began sexually abusing K-Rose in the studio after her parents dropped her off to record. The abuse allegedly lasted nearly a year.
Dixon says he and Fat Joe once walked in on Dre panicking, yelling, “I’m going to jail, Joe. I’m going to jail. They [K-Rose’s parents] found out I was dealing with K-Rose.”
Fat Joe allegedly responded, “Calm down; I’m going to take care of it.”
Dixon believes Fat Joe used a burner phone to contact the girl’s parents. K-Rose’s music career soon disappeared.
Forced Sexual Encounters Under Threat and Surveillance
Dixon alleges the rap star forced him into over 4,000 sexual situations with women after concerts and studio sessions. These encounters, he says, were arranged by Fat Joe and took place in environments the rapper controlled.
In one incident in Miami, Fat Joe brought a woman to his hotel suite and ordered Dixon to have sex with her in front of others, yelling, “Get your dick hard TA!”
“In many instances, [Fat Joe] remained present during these encounters, watching, recording, or issuing verbal commands and commentary,” the complaint reads.
Dixon says members of the crew, including Pete “Pistol Pete” Torres, watched and laughed. One person who was present allegedly said “Yo Joe, I’m not about to stand here and watch this n####’s dick.”
When Dixon resisted, he claims Fat Joe withheld pay, canceled travel plans or threatened to leave him stranded overseas.
Use of Coded Language and Alleged Firearms Trafficking
The lawsuit describes a system of coded language used by Fat Joe and his associates to direct violence and criminal activity.
Terms like “Ketchup” meant stabbing, “Matonden” meant kill, and “Corpen” meant to place someone in a casket.
Dixon also alleges he used a burner phone to coordinate drug and gun trafficking between Miami and the Bronx. The device, he claims, helped the rapper avoid subpoenas and surveillance while maintaining contact with criminal associates.
Alleged Sexual Abuse of Minors and Exploitation
Dixon claims he saw Fat Joe engage in sexual acts with girls as young as 15 and 16. He alleges the rapper used his burner phone to arrange meetings with underage girls, often while on tour or in hotels.
One girl, referred to as Minor Doe 1, was a 16-year-old Dominican teen in New York.
According to the complaint, she performed sex acts on the rapper in exchange for money, clothes and phone bill payments. Dixon says he once begged Fat Joe to pay her $100 phone bill, but the rapper refused, saying he was broke.
Dixon claims Fat Joe was in love with another 15-year-old girl, whom he supposedly rapped about on the song “She’s My Mamma.” Fat Joe allegedly rented the girl a condo up the street from the house he shared with his wife and paid all of the underage girl’s bills.
Threats of Violence and Orders to Attack Other Artists
Dixon alleges the Terror Squad boss ordered him to confront DMX in Miami after a dispute, instructing him, “If he acts up, take the hammer,” which Dixon understood as a command to use a firearm. Though no violence occurred, Dixon says the order was treated as mandatory.
In another incident, Fat Joe allegedly instructed Dixon and others to attack Young Money president Mack Maine after he made a crude remark about Fat Joe’s wife. Dixon says the directive was clear: attack Mack, Maine, on sight.
The complaint also references a deadly episode in Miami where Fat Joe allegedly ordered two teenagers to attack a man.
The man, acting in self-defense, fatally shot both teens. Dixon claims their deaths were a direct result of Fat Joe’s coercive leadership style.
Ye is heading to Slovakia this summer for a rare Eastern European appearance as the headliner of the 2025 Rubicon Festival in Bratislava.
The three-day Hip-Hop event, running from Friday, July 18 to Sunday, July 20, will close with Ye’s performance on the final night, marking his first major show in the country.
The Rubicon Festival, one of Europe’s rising Hip-Hop events, will also feature Offset, Ken Carson, UFO361, Voyage, GZUZ, and DJ S####.
Organizers expect the festival to draw tens of thousands from across the continent. Tickets will be available starting Sunday (June 22) at 7 p.m. CEST through Ticketportal, the official vendor.
The event is produced by Pop Out and includes creative input from J. Noah. The Instagram post announcing Ye’s appearance offered few details beyond the festival name, dates and collaborators.
Still, the visual alone was enough to stir speculation among followers about whether the performance might coincide with a new album, fashion drop or both.
While the breakup didn’t come with fireworks, beef or craziness, Simmons made it clear during the interview that she didn’t want to break up. Still, she was the one who pulled the plug. Hmmmmm… Even Martinez looked a little thrown off by the contradiction. Simmons, the daughter of Run from Run-DMC, kept things classy but vague.
The coded language only raised more questions. If she didn’t want to break up, why did she? And here come the rumors and comments.
What stood out most was how highly she still spoke of Gotti. There was no bitterness, no shade, no mess. Just respect. And that’s what makes this all the more mysterious. There was no hint of drama or abuse, so what could’ve gone wrong?
Well, this is where things get a little murky. What follows is all speculative. But you and I both know that the streets never sleep. Ever since Young Dolph was murdered, there’s been renewed chatter around Yo Gotti and his long-standing feud with the late rapper. Their beef wasn’t just lyrical. It allegedly turned violent over the years. Gotti has never been charged with anything. The Feds are sniffing around rap crews and trying to slap RICO charges on anything like they’re the mafia. Many are wondering if Simmons got out before things got too real.
CMG, Gotti’s musical empire, has been the subject of constant street talk. Whether fair or not, the perception around the label has grown more intense. So what does all of that have to do with Angela Simmons?
Simple. Self-preservation. She could have seen some writing on the wall and decided to distance herself from anything that could drag her into a storm. She’s got her own legacy to uphold and can’t afford to become collateral damage. As for Gotti, he’s generally carried himself like a gentleman, at least publicly. But the streets are the streets.
And the danger isn’t imaginary.
Last year, Gotti’s older brother, Big Jook, was tragically gunned down after attending a funeral. That event was a brutal wake-up call and possibly a turning point. It may have been the moment Simmons started thinking differently about her future. To me, it felt like that was the moment things changed.
While none of this has been confirmed, there’s clearly still love and affection between them. But love doesn’t always survive chaos. Timing is everything. Angela Simmons couldn’t be a casualty in someone else’s war. I think Gotti truly cares for her. He doesn’t want to deal with the wrath of Rev. Run, one of the architects of Hip-Hop culture.
Of course, there are deeper whispers and darker theories out there. But I’ll leave those for you to debate in the comments. I’m trying not to stir the pot too much, but it’s hot in this kitchen.
Drake is putting his money—and reputation—on the line with a hefty $800,000 wager on the Oklahoma City Thunder to clinch the NBA title in Game 6 against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday (June 19) in Indianapolis, reigniting chatter about the so-called “Drake Curse.”
The OVO Sound co-founder revealed the bet on his Instagram Story, where he also added a separate $200,000 prop bet, predicting the Thunder would win by a margin of six to 10 points.
If both bets cash in, he stands to collect around $1.73 million. Drake captioned the post with a nod to Thunder standout Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, writing, “check that box,” a clear show of support for the rising NBA star.
A win would seal the franchise’s first NBA championship since moving to Oklahoma City. The Pacers, meanwhile, are fighting to force a Game 7. While the bets may seem like a show of confidence, some observers are less than thrilled.
The “Drake Curse”—a long-standing theory that athletes or teams associated with the rapper tend to lose—has resurfaced on social media.
Well it’s over if they lose tonight but Drake curse says pacers win
The superstition has followed Drake for years, with notable examples including the Golden State Warriors’ 2019 Finals loss, Conor McGregor’s UFC defeat and boxer Anthony Joshua’s upset loss to Andy Ruiz Jr.
Despite the theory’s popularity, not every bet has gone sour. The Toronto Raptors broke the curse by winning the 2019 NBA title, and the Kansas City Chiefs pulled off a Super Bowl win after Drake backed them.
Still, the rapper’s recent gambling history hasn’t helped his odds. He admitted on Instagram that he lost more than $8 million on bets this month alone. Meanwhile, JAY-Z lost a $1 million bet on the Thunder to win the series in five games. That wager was voided after Indiana took Game 3, making a 4-1 series win impossible.
Game 6 tips off at 8:30 p.m. ET, with Oklahoma City ahead 3-2 in the best-of-seven series.
I think the only team that beat the Drake curse was when Toronto won the chip
Terrance Dixon, the longtime right-hand man to Fat Joe, has officially filed a $20 million civil RICO lawsuit against the Bronx rapper in federal court, alleging years of exploitation, fraud and abuse under what he calls “The Cartagena Enterprise.”
The complaint, filed Thursday (June 19), accuses Fat Joe of orchestrating a criminal operation involving forced labor, sexual coercion, financial fraud and witness intimidation.
“[Fat Joe] employed persistent verbal abuse, threats of physical violence, erratic and insufficient payment, manipulative control over travel and accommodations, and continuous humiliation,” Dixon claied. “Collectively, these coercive tactics resulted in chronic emotional and psychological distress, profound anxiety, and severe trauma that continue to affect [Dixon] to this day.”
Dixon claims he worked for over 16 years as a hype man, ghostwriter, background vocalist and security detail yet was denied credit, royalties, and compensation for his creative contributions.
According to the lawsuit, Dixon alleges he helped write and perform on several songs, including “Congratulations,” “Ice Cream” and “Money Over B######” but was systematically erased from royalty records and publishing rights.
He says Fat Joe and his team submitted “falsified contracts and backdated split sheets” to BMI and ASCAP to divert royalties and conceal Dixon’s authorship.
The complaint names several of Fat Joe’s close associates as co-defendants, including Pete “Pistol Pete” Torres, Richard “Rich Player” Jospitre and Erica Juliana Moreira.
It also targets corporate entities, such as Sneaker Addict Touring LLC, Slate Inc. and Roc Nation, which Dixon says played a role in concealing his work and facilitating the alleged misconduct.
Dixon accuses the group of violating the Trafficking Victims Protection Act and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.
Dixon also alleges unjust enrichment, fraud, money laundering and intentional infliction of emotional distress under New York and Florida law. Among the most disturbing claims are allegations of sexual coercion.
Dixon says he was forced into sex acts under threat of abandonment in foreign countries, often while being monitored or recorded.
He also alleges Fat Joe orchestrated group sex scenarios involving dancers and minors, using psychological manipulation and economic control to maintain dominance.
“[Dixon] was routinely coerced into engaging in sexual acts with women specifically brought by Defendant Cartagena to hotel rooms and private gatherings following performances and studio events,” the lawsuit reads. “Defendant Cartagena frequently arranged and orchestrated these encounters, intentionally creating scenarios designed to reinforce Plaintiff’s complete submission. Defendant Cartagena regularly monitored these encounters closely—frequently remaining in the room to watch, record, or provide explicit direction and commands.”
The lawsuit also claims Fat Joe and his associates inflated Dixon’s reported income to the IRS to mask wage theft and increase his tax liability. Dixon says he was deprived of at least $600,000 in royalties and excluded from future earnings tied to his creative work.
Dixon further alleges that burner social media accounts were used to issue threats and intimidate witnesses. He says Fat Joe and Roc Nation retaliated by filing a “baseless” lawsuit against him and his attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, to silence him.
Fat Joe’s legal team previously filed a defamation suit in April, accusing Dixon and Blackburn of attempting to extort money by making false allegations, including claims of statutory rape and sex trafficking.
Lamar, fresh off rocking Ford Field in Detroit alongside SZA, went for a run and made a family’s year. The Compton legend picked up a 3-year old jogging buddy and was unknowingly caught the incident on the Detroit Riverwalk.
According to WXYZ Detroit, Lanaeziah Brinson took her 3-year-old son Ryian out to the Riverfront on Wednesday (June 18) just to burn off a little energy in the summer sun. The pair had no idea they were about to bump into a rap star.
“They were joking around and racing,” Brinson told WXYZ, recalling the moment her son started running with a stranger. That “stranger” turned out to be none other than Kendrick Lamar. But at the time, nobody knew.
For more than 10 minutes, the man who performed for tens of thousands at a sold-out stadium the night before was just like a regular caring citizen. There were no crazy security detail and no cameras. It was just a moment between a man and a kid, running, laughing and vibing.
“Me and my friend, we didn’t know it was him. I was so focused on [Ryian] cause he was running so fast and I’m like, ‘Be careful, come back!’” Brinson explained, still in disbelief. The full weight of the moment didn’t sink in until they got back in the car.
That’s when Ryian looked at a video of himself with his new “friend” and made the connection. “Mom, that’s that man,” he reportedly said. That man being Kendrick Lamar.
“It’s legendary for my baby,” Brinson said, adding that she plans to save the video for when Ryian gets older and fully understands just how rare a moment like this was.
Now, the Brinson household has been blasting Kendrick’s music with a completely different frame of reference .
Kendrick and SZA now take their show to Europe.

The Timbaland drama continues. If you’ve been keeping up, then you already know he’s being accused of stealing a beat from a lesser-known producer named K Fresh.
K Fresh is an online producer who’s been making serious noise on Instagram and other social platforms. So what exactly happened? Timbaland, while promoting an AI company called Suno, pushed a beat that seemed like it was his own. What we didn’t know at first was that it was actually a reworking of another producer’s original track.
The legend got his hand caught in the cookie jar—and here’s where it gets messy. Timbo tried to explain the situation, framing it as if he “sampled” the beat. That explanation came after he got exposed. That kind of backpedaling has left a bad taste in the mouths of people who grew up idolizing him.
Now, K Fresh is speaking out. He’s not being disrespectful, but you can hear the pain and confusion in his voice. Like I said before, Timbaland’s got some serious explaining to do.
Below is what K Fresh had to say in an exclusive interview with Curtis King.
“I’m still having a time processing it,” he admitted. “The 19-year-old me is like, ‘I can’t believe this.’ It’s Timbaland. He’s one of the greatest of all time. There’s a level of excitement that I wanted to have for my music to even reach somebody like that. But then there’s also a bit of frustration, as a grown man. Because it’s like you just saying, my name could’ve went a long way.
“If you liked it that much, a little bit goes a long way for somebody like me. My feet is still on the ground, bro. Like I’m working for everything and I’m not asking for much. I’m conflicted with the things that I feel.”
Honestly, this whole situation is a mess. And it’s a shame. Hopefully, the company—Suno—takes this seriously, because they clearly underestimated the damage they could do. Their AI platform is literally ripping off real producers. They scrape the internet, scoop up already-made beats and pass them off without giving a single ounce of credit. Or money. I doubt they ever imagined Timbaland would use a beat from someone as visible as K Fresh, but here we are.
What makes it even wilder is that Ghostface Killah from the Wu-Tang Clan expressed interest in the beat, through Timbaland. But Timbo made it seem like he was doing homie a favor. Meanwhile, K Fresh revealed in his video that he already has a working relationship with Ghostface. And not once did he hear from Timbaland.
This just keeps getting worse.
At this point, maybe it’s time someone at AllHipHop sits Timbaland down and has a real conversation about what’s going on here. He’s gotta come clean.
There’s got to be a better way to use tech in Hip-Hop. Bring something that’s ethical, honest to the table. Bring us something that doesn’t exploit the very creatives this culture was built on. It’s hard to believe that Hip-Hop icons are turning into the very villains Hip-Hop once fought against.
K Fresh asked a simple question: “Why couldn’t you just tag me?”
Cardi B will have to defend herself in court after a Texas federal judge ruled that a copyright lawsuit accusing her of stealing the beat for her song “Enough (Miami)” can proceed.
The song was featured in the FX series Reservation Dogs and uploaded to YouTube before the release of “Enough.”
The $50 million complaint also names OG Parker and DJ SwanQo, who co-produced “Enough,” along with Atlantic Records and Warner Music Group.
The plaintiffs are seeking damages, a restraining order to halt further distribution, and the destruction of all copies of the allegedly infringing track.
According to court documents reviewed by Bloomberg Law_,_ Cardi B’s legal team attempted to dismiss the case, arguing that the two songs are not substantially similar.
But U.S. District Judge Fred Biery disagreed, writing that “the court finds plaintiffs have alleged sufficient facts to state a claim for copyright infringement.”
The ruling arrives just days before the Bronx rapper is set to drop her new single “Outside” on Friday (June 20), her first solo release of the year.
Cardi B previously teased the track during an Instagram Live session earlier this year. Her sophomore album is reportedly finished but delayed due to pending guest features.
As of June 2025, no title or release date has been confirmed.
Chrisean Rock accused Blueface of using drugs in prison in an explosive livestream after he kicked her out of his home and claimed she left it in ruins.
On Tuesday (June 18), Blueface posted a video to Instagram showing a disheveled house, implying Chrisean trashed the place before moving out. He followed up with a message: “Chrisean no longer lives here.”
Chrisean fired back during a livestream, denying she left the home in that condition and claiming Blueface was the one spiraling behind bars.
“I need to get rid of this demon,” she said. “And he’s smoking Fetty. Like, he’s getting high.”
She alleged that Blueface “caught drug charges” while incarcerated, which she said extended his sentence from six months to two years.
Chrisean also said she only returned to Blueface’s home to retrieve her belongings after he withheld them from her.
She claimed the timing of his public accusations was no coincidence, saying he lashed out because she was headed to a streamer’s prom event.
Chrisean Rock Considering Restraining Order Against Blueface
“I think I need to put a restraining order on him,” she said during the livestream. “It got real bad. Like, it gets bad. Y’all forgot? When I did leave him the last time, he came and kidnapped my son from my house. Kicked in my door, took my baby out of Marsh’s arms.”
She also claimed, “he rode me over with a car” while she was six or seven months pregnant.
Just one day earlier, Blueface explained in a jailhouse call that he allowed Chrisean and their son to return because she was homeless. He also claimed she needed to focus on helping their child learn to walk before he turns two.
He also expressed his expectations for her to stay home and focus on parenting.
“Nobody wants a b#### that wants to be out working,” he told her.
Chrisean pushed back, saying she had been the one financially supporting Blueface while he was locked up and accused him of being absent from their son’s life.
“You never came through for your son, and he’s nearly two. NEVER,” she said.
Blueface gave her an ultimatum during the call: “You either gonna follow instructions, or you gonna go be your own f###### person.”
Their relationship has been a carousel of public fallouts, reconciliations and accusations.
Back in April 2025, Blueface also kicked Chrisean out after she confirmed she was seeing someone new.
Chrisean has said she still loves Blueface but admitted she needs to move on from what she described as a controlling and chaotic relationship.
The “stan” accused of terrorizing Eminem has been handed a 30-year prison sentence for breaking into the rapper’s home.
Matthew David Hughes, 32, was convicted of first-degree home invasion and aggravated stalking after a jury found him guilty on May 7 for a 2024 break-in at Eminem’s Clinton Township property.
Hughes received the harsh sentence on Tuesday, June 17, for unlawfully entering the rapper’s home on two different occasions.
In April 2020, he smashed a window with a brick and entered while Eminem was asleep. The rapper testified that Hughes told him he was “there to kill him” before being subdued by security and later arrested.
Hughes pleaded guilty to second-degree home invasion in 2021 and was given probation and credit for time served. But he violated that probation and returned to Eminem’s property in August 2024.
During that second intrusion, Hughes slipped through an unlocked door, stole a bicycle and fled after being spotted by security. He was arrested four days later at a nearby Walmart.
Eminem came face to face with his stalker again during a Michigan courtroom showdown that ended with came face to face with him once again when he testified during the May trial.
The two-day proceeding ended swiftly, with jurors deliberating for less than 30 minutes before delivering the verdict.
The court issued a no-contact order, prohibiting Hughes from communicating with Eminem.
Prosecutors argued that his repeated actions showed a clear pattern of obsession and danger.
The sentencing closes a years-long legal saga that began with the 2020 break-in and escalated with Hughes’ return in 2024 despite prior legal consequences.
Hughes will be eligible for parole after serving a minimum of 18 years in prison.
Adam Drake was convicted of second-degree murder Tuesday (June 17) in the stabbing death of Pat Stay, a revered figure in the battle rap world, following a swift jury decision in the Nova Scotia Supreme Court.
The 12-person jury reached its verdict in less than a day, CBA News reports. The five-week trial centered around the fatal stabbing of the 36-year-old rapper and father of two at the Yacht Club Social in Halifax on September 4, 2022.
Drake, who was initially charged with first-degree murder, faced a downgraded charge before the trial began. Prosecutors leaned heavily on surveillance footage from inside the nightclub. Although the stabbing wasn’t captured on camera, the Crown argued that a process of elimination left Drake as the only possible assailant.
The defense countered that the video lacked clarity and failed to show the actual attack, urging jurors to acquit.
Drake chose not to testify or present any evidence in his own defense.
Pat Stay’s Partner Speaks After The Verdict
The courtroom was emotionally charged throughout the proceedings. After the verdict, Stay’s longtime partner, Malyssa Burns, told reporters that the trial was “The hardest five weeks of my life.”
She added that while the verdict couldn’t bring closure to Pat’s death, “at least we can move forward with knowing that his murderer’s in jail.”
A conviction for second-degree murder in Canada carries a mandatory life sentence. The judge will determine parole eligibility, which can range from 10 to 25 years.
Drake is already serving a life sentence for the 2016 “execution-style” killing of Tyler Keizer. That prior conviction was not disclosed to the jury to preserve the integrity of the trial and was only made public after Tuesday’s verdict.
Sentencing for Drake is expected in the coming weeks.
The battle rap scene responded with an outpouring of tributes to Stay, whose lyrical skill and stage presence earned him international acclaim.
🚨PAT STAY TRIAL UPDATE🚨
Adam Drake has been found GUILTY of 2nd Degree Murder of PAT STAY.
Angela Simmons confirmed she ended her relationship with Yo Gotti during a revealing conversation on Angie Martinez’s “IRL” podcast, explaining the breakup wasn’t something she wanted but felt was necessary.
“I wouldn’t have chose it, but it was what was best, but I wouldn’t have chose it, no,” Simmons said, calling the decision “not by choice” and making it clear she still holds respect for the Memphis rapper. “Much love and respect to him. He’s doing his thing. I’m happy for him.”
The pair’s relationship, which lasted around two years, had been heavily publicized from the start—fueled by Gotti’s years-long admiration and public pursuit of Simmons before they officially got together.
Martinez brought up how Gotti had previously declared his love for Simmons in his music and social media, asking if he was the one who ended it.
Simmons responded, “I had to make a decision,” but declined to elaborate on what led to the breakup.
“I would just never [share details]. I’m just not that girl…” she said. “Some stuff is just better left unsaid.”
Despite the end of the romance, Simmons said she doesn’t regret being open about their relationship.
“I’m a lover, I love love. I love relationships,” she said, acknowledging that going public with their love story meant people would naturally be invested.

Yo Gotti has not publicly addressed the breakup. His recent Instagram posts, however, have been flooded with comments urging him to reconcile with Simmons following her appearance on the podcast.
Stephen A. Smith didn’t hold back when asked about his relationship with LeBron James during a new interview, revealing their mutual disdain.
The veteran sports broadcaster addressed his issues in a Rolling Stone interview released Tuesday (June 18).
“I don’t like him, and he don’t like me,” he said while accusing the NBA star of using his son as a shield in a personal dispute.
The long-simmering tension between the ESPN personality and the four-time NBA champion hit a boiling point after a courtside confrontation in March 2025.

Looks like Bron’s telling him “keep my son out of this sh**.” 👀
LeBron confronted Smith over remarks made about his son, Bronny James, which Smith insists were misinterpreted.
“He hid behind his son [Bronny James], tried to make something out of nothing, as if I was dogging his son, which I was not,” Smith said. “The real issue was we don’t like each other. And he used that as an excuse to confront me. I got it.”
Despite the personal friction, Smith maintained that his coverage of LeBron remains professional.
“We’re never gonna like each other,” he added. “It’s not gonna stop me from doing my job. He’ll be treated just like any other player I cover. Nobody is going to get me to compromise my professional integrity. I don’t have to like you to be fair to you.”
Smith also acknowledged LeBron’s legacy on the court.
“He’s one of the greatest players who’s ever lived,” he said. “I’m going to show him that respect, and I’m going to cover him objectively. When he does great, I’m gonna applaud. When he doesn’t do great, I’m not gonna applaud.”
LeBron addressed the incident publicly for the first time during a March appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, explaining that Smith’s commentary crossed a line.
“Never would I ever not allow people who talk about the sport to criticize players about what they do on the court. That is your job,” LeBron said. “When you take it and get personal with it, it’s my job not only to protect my damn household but protect the players.”
“Stephen A Smith is like on a Taylor Swift tour run right now. It started off with ‘I didn’t wanna address it, but since the video came out I have to.’ –

Pusha T called out Travis Scott in a new interview, urging him to “stay out of rappers’ business,” after taking aim at Scott on the new Clipse track “So Be It.”
During an Apple Music interview with Ebro Darden previewed Wednesday night (June 18), Push slammed the Houston artist for interrupting a Clipse session in Paris with Pharrell Williams.
“I just thought it was disrespectful,” Pusha said, referring to Scott showing up uninvited. “We don’t even want you here, to be honest. Like, we’re not here to hobnob with any rappers, and I personally don’t like rappers who don’t rap. Like, I don’t want to hear that.”
The Virginia rapper continued to accuse Scott of being disloyal and opportunistic, especially when it comes to rap beefs that don’t involve him directly.
“He’ll do it with his mentor, Ye,” Pusha continued. “He was even instrumental in the whole beef now; the ‘Like That’ verse, egging that on. I don’t want nobody who don’t rap to egg nothing on. You don’t rap. Stay out of rappers’ business. You, specifically, stay out of rappers’ business. Don’t do that.”
The “Like That” reference points to Scott encouraging Future and Metro Boomin to play the track at Rolling Loud, a song that ignited the battle between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
Pusha also brought up “Sicko Mode,” where Drake took shots at Kanye West—Scott’s mentor—while Scott still appeared on the track.
Pusha T Call Out Travis Scott Over “Lack Of Loyalty”
In a GQ interview, Pusha detailed how Scott played his Utopia album for them in Paris but conveniently skipped over Drake’s diss verse on “Meltdown.” That move didn’t sit well with Pusha.
“That lack of loyalty. Travis really has that,” he said. “To me, that really was just like… he’s a w####. He’s a w####.”
Pusha argued that Travis Scott has a habit of attaching himself to whatever’s trending, regardless of loyalty or history.
“He’s done this a lot,” Pusha T stated, adding, “He don’t have no picks, no loyalty to nobody. He’ll jump around whatever he feels is hot or cling onto whatever he feels is hot. But you can play those games with those people… We’re not in your mix. Keep your mix over there.”
Drake revealed that he has lost over $8 million in gambling this month and still has $800,000 riding on the NBA Finals despite his losing streak.
Drake dropped a jaw-dropping update on his gambling habits, revealing he’s lost more than $8 million this month alone while still betting big on the NBA Finals.
In an Instagram Story Tuesday (June 18), the Grammy-winning rapper confessed he’s placed nearly $125 million in wagers over the past month, including a brutal $6 million hit on Fortnite bets.
“Gotta share the other side of gambling,” he wrote. “Losses are so fried right now. I hope I can post a big win for you all soon cause I’m the only one that has never seen a max these guys max once a week.”
The post offered a rare glimpse into the downside of Drake’s high-stakes gambling lifestyle, which has become a staple of his public image thanks to his partnership with crypto betting platform Stake.
He frequently livestreams his bets and promotes the site to his massive following.
Despite the heavy losses, Drake isn’t slowing down. He’s got $800,000 riding on Game 6 of the 2025 NBA Finals, backing the Oklahoma City Thunder to close out the series against the Indiana Pacers.
He wagered $600,000 on the Thunder to win outright and another $200,000 on them winning by a 6–10 point margin. If both bets hit, he stands to collect around $1.7 million.
He shared the bets on Instagram, throwing his support behind fellow Canadian and Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, writing, “check that box.”
Drake’s betting history has long been a topic of conversation, with many pointing to the so-called “Drake Curse” — a running joke that teams or athletes he supports often lose.
Cassie Ventura unleashed a furious tirade in a 2014 audio recording released to the public Wednesday (June 18).
The audio, originally played in open court Thursday (May 16) during Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal sex trafficking trial, features Ventura threatening to kill a man she believed had a “freak-off” sex tape involving her.
The man, identified in court as Sujit, was the target of Ventura’s rage in the clip submitted by Combs’ defense team as evidence.
In the recording, Ventura is heard saying, “It’s my f###### life and I’ll kill you. If you don’t show me right now, I will kill you, and I will hide you, and I will cut you up and put you in the f###### dirt.”
She continued, “I’m gonna kill you, and then [Diddy] ‘s gonna kill you again.”
“I will f###### kill you. I’ve never killed anyone in my life. I’m going to f### you up. It’s not going to be blood on my hands. Someone else is going to do it. I’m not playing with you, Sujit. Tell me.”
The defense argued the audio shows Ventura was not always under Combs’ control, suggesting she could be aggressive when it came to protecting her image.
Courtroom observers said jurors appeared stunned as the audio played, hearing Ventura’s voice deliver the threats directly.
Cassie Ventura Testified Diddy Used Tapes As Leverage
Ventura previously testified that Combs used sex tapes as leverage to keep her in line, claiming he threatened to release footage of her with male escorts if she didn’t comply with his demands.
She said she felt “trapped,” “embarrassed,” and “humiliated” by the constant fear of public exposure.
Ventura said Combs pressured her to confront Sujit, who she believed had a copy of one of the tapes. She testified that she felt “sick” and under “pressure” to stop the footage from surfacing. According to her, Combs coached her on how to approach Sujit.
She also claimed Combs would show the videos to others, deepening her feelings of shame and helplessness.
Cassie Ventura said the threat of the tapes being released was a major reason she stayed in the relationship despite ongoing abuse.
The trial is nearing a critical point. On Wednesday (June 18), the judge signaled that jury instructions are being prepared, with deliberations likely to begin next week.
Prosecutors are expected to rest their case by Monday (June 23), with the defense scheduled to present its arguments over the following five days.
Diddywas called out by his former publicist this week. Rob Shuter publicly reflected on his time working with the mogul amid ongoing allegations of rape, sex trafficking and abuse.
Shuter, who represented Diddy in the early 2000s, penned a personal essay for The Hollywood Reporter, grappling with the moral weight of his past proximity to the embattled music executive.
“With Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs facing a cascade of allegations—including rape, sexual assault, sex trafficking and physical abuse—all of which he has denied, I’m left with a question I can no longer avoid: What’s more damning? Not knowing? Or not wanting to know?” he wrote.
The former PR strategist, now the host of the “Naughty But Nice” podcast, admitted that he never witnessed any of the alleged misconduct but questioned whether his ambition had blinded him to the warning signs.
“When I say I didn’t see the alleged behavior, I mean it,” Shuter said. “But I also understand the ways I may have refused to. That refusal didn’t come from malice. It came from ambition. From awe. From the seductive hum of being needed by someone the world adored. It’s astonishing what we’ll fail to see when fame is in the room.”
Shuter described his role during that time as being laser-focused on building Combs’s public image, launching brands and securing magazine covers.
But in hindsight, he said, “What I was actually doing was managing a mirage. And like so many others in the entertainment ecosystem—agents, producers, stylists, executives, managers—I learned to look away.”
Shuter concluded his piece with the hope that the legal process reveals the whole truth. Diddy has denied all allegations against him, which include multiple lawsuits and a federal investigation.
Diddy is currently on trial for one count of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and two counts of transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution.
