Vivica Fox Says 50 Cent Gave Her The Best Orgasms, Rapper Has Response

Vivica Fox brought up past pleasure and present peace when she stopped by the Sherri show, once again revisiting her viral remarks about 50 Cent and their whirlwind 2003 romance with a jaw-dropping line that left the audience stunned.

Reflecting on her past with the Hip-Hop mogul, Fox told Sherri Shepherd, “I can actually laugh about this. And I was glad he got a funny response about it as well. We’re no longer fighting, y’all.”

The moment came after Shepherd noted 50 Cent’s playful Instagram post, which featured an AI-generated image of himself holding the red and blue pills from The Matrix, captioned, “Either way I’m a have that a** in the matrix, you know I love me some you girl, but Damn it’s been 22 years, Vivica.”

Fox, clearly amused, leaned into the joke. “And you know what else made it great? He said he loved me. But we are in a good place, and I’ll take the blue pill.

“Oh, my goodness. The orgasms were fab,” Fox said, as she started twitching and shaking, as she laughed through her retelling of the rapper’s recent Matrix-themed response to her earlier comments about their past.

The former couple’s brief but highly publicized relationship ended two decades ago, but their back-and-forth continues to grab attention.

Fox recently stirred headlines after advising women at the Ultimate Women’s Expo in New Jersey, “Don’t date 50 Cent, don’t date no damn rappers,” using her own experience as a cautionary tale.

She later clarified that her advice wasn’t meant to shame anyone’s choices, but rather to suggest taking things slow and keeping relationships private until they’re solid. “Just have fun,” she said.

The exchange marked a lighter chapter in what was once a tense post-breakup narrative.

Over the years, the former flames traded jabs in interviews and on social media, but Fox now says they’ve reached a place of mutual respect.

Mystikal Resurfaces In Court Over Charges That Could Land Him Life In Prison

Mystikal is due before a judge in Ascension Parish on Tuesday (November 18) as the New Orleans rapper’s high-stakes legal saga moved forward with charges that could lock him away for life.

The 54-year-old performer is scheduled for a procedural hearing tied to a 2022 case involving accusations of first-degree rape, domestic abuse battery by strangulation and false imprisonment.

The rapper’s legal team and prosecutors will address scheduling and evidence-related matters, though no trial date has been set. The case remains in pretrial status, with proceedings expected to continue in the coming months.

Mystikal has pleaded not guilty to all charges and has remained jailed without bail since his arrest more than two years ago.

The incident occurred on Saturday, July 30, 2022, at the artist’s Prairieville home.

According to court documents, Mystikal thought the woman stole $100 in cash from him, prompting him to punch, choke and pull the braids out of her hair. He then took her keys and cell phone and stopped her from leaving the premises.

An altercation ensued and the rapper allegedly beat the woman, pushed her on the bed and then raped her. A search of his home turned up meth, Xanax, heroin, marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

If convicted of first-degree rape, Louisiana law mandates a life sentence without parole. The domestic abuse charge, involving strangulation, adds another layer of legal risk due to its enhanced classification under state statutes.

This is not the first time the rapper has been entangled in serious criminal allegations.

In 2003, Tyler was convicted of sexual battery after assaulting his hairstylist and served six years in prison. He was released in 2010 and is now a lifetime registered sex offender. In 2016, he was again accused of kidnapping and sexual assault in Caddo Parish. That case was eventually dropped by prosecutors.

Tyler’s current incarceration at the Ascension Parish Detention Center reflects both the gravity of the charges and his status as a repeat offender. Prosecutors argue he poses a public safety threat, citing his criminal history and the nature of the accusations.

Once a chart-topping figure in Southern Hip-Hop, Tyler rose to fame in the early 2000s with hits like “Danger (Been So Long)” and “Shake Ya Ass.”

He was signed to Jive Records and later No Limit Records, collaborating with artists such as Master P and Silkk the Shocker. His rapid-fire delivery and high-energy performances made him a standout during Hip-Hop’s commercial boom.

However, his music career has been repeatedly interrupted by legal issues. His 2003 conviction halted his momentum, and subsequent arrests have made any return to the spotlight nearly impossible.

Shedeur Sanders Jacked For $200K While Making His NFL Debut

Shedeur Sanders had his first NFL appearance marred by a high-stakes burglary, as masked thieves broke into his Ohio home and stole roughly $200,000 in valuables while he was on the field.

The Cleveland Browns’ rookie quarterback was suiting up against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday when three suspects, wearing gloves and face coverings, entered his residence at 6:46 P.M., according to police.

Surveillance footage showed the intruders moving swiftly through the home, targeting specific areas before leaving at 6:58 P.M. with what authorities described as “various property belonging to Mr. Sanders.”

The timing of the break-in appeared calculated, coinciding directly with Sanders’ highly anticipated professional debut. Investigators believe the suspects may have known he would be away due to the game.

The 21-year-old former Colorado standout stepped in after starting quarterback Dillon Gabriel suffered a concussion. Sanders completed four passes for 47 yards in the Browns’ 23-16 loss to Baltimore.

After the game, he admitted the performance “was not up to his standard.”

The burglary adds an unexpected layer of stress as Sanders prepares for what could be his first official start next week against the Las Vegas Raiders, depending on Gabriel’s recovery.

The incident also struck an emotional chord for his father, NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, who reportedly became tearful while watching his son’s debut unfold from afar.

The investigation remains ongoing, with local authorities reviewing surveillance footage and pursuing leads to identify the suspects and retrieve the stolen items.

Patrick Beverley Allegedly Choked His Sister & Threatened To Unalive Her During Blowout Fight

Patrick Beverley got locked up in Texas after cops say he choked out his sister and socked her in the eye during a wild family fight at home.

The ex-NBA guard is now staring down a felony assault charge after things allegedly got physical inside a Fort Bend County house. According to the police report, Beverley grabbed his sister by the neck with both hands, lifted her off the ground and held her there for up to 30 seconds.

That wasn’t the end of it.

Court docs say he dragged her by the neck out of the bedroom, slammed her into the walls, then dropped her on the couch and punched her in the left eye with a closed fist.

Even worse, she told cops Beverley threatened her life, saying he “will be the family relative to kill her.” When officers showed up, they found bruises on her neck and red spots in her eyes, signs that lined up with her story.

The whole thing popped off on November 14. It started when Beverley’s sister dipped out to meet her boyfriend, Aiden Hilderbrand, without telling anyone.

When she came back, their mom, Lisa, told her to call Hilderbrand to pick her up. Once he pulled up, Lisa called Beverley into the room and that’s when it all exploded. Now, Beverley has a felony charge hanging over his head. He hasn’t said much, but his lawyer did.

“He cares deeply about his little sister – a young lady, a minor. Given that, when he unexpectedly found her alone in the home with an 18-year-old man in the middle of the night, he was understandably concerned, as any brother would be about his sister,” Beverley’s legal rep said.

This incident happened right after Klay Thompson called him out for making shady comments about Megan Thee Stallion on the Hoopin’ N Hollerin’ podcast with Jason Williams.

Beverley was talking about Thompson’s shooting slump and said, “I’ve never seen Klay not shoot it like this… His routine is thrown off. I’m not saying it’s her… I watch them on Instagram… The guy was juggling. It’s easy to juggle one thing, but when you put something else in there it’s harder, [your] focus takes off a lil bit.”

Williams chimed in with, “It only takes one p#### to drag a battleship across the desert. That’s how powerful it is. Klay Thompson, I ain’t sayin’ that’s what it is, but that might be what it is.”

Then Beverley added, “Because that mother f##### is short… He’s missing left and right.”

Klay clapped back on Instagram, writing, “How would y’all feel if I referred to your wives in such a way? \@‌patbev21… Do better fellas. Very disappointing.”

EXLCUSIVE: Diddy Allowed To Track Down Man Through Newspapers In $100M Freak-Off Battle

Diddy scored a clear win in court after a judge agreed he can serve Courtney Burgess through newspapers because he says the man keeps ducking his $100 million lawsuit.

The judge said Diddy tried every normal method for months with no success, so it was time to move the process along.

This fight stems from Diddy’s lawsuit, which accuses Burgess, attorney Ariel Mitchell, and Nexstar Media of airing a story he claims never occurred.

Burgess claimed that he had 11 flash drives from the late Kim Porter, which he said contained videos of celebrities participating in “Freakoffs” involving minors.

Burgess went on TV with the claim that Diddy calls false, saying the broadcast ruined his reputation, hurt his finances, and created a wave of damage he is still dealing with.

“In this pitiful spectacle, all pretense of objectivity has been abandoned, as a global audience feasts at the all-you-can-eat buffet of wild lies and conspiracy theories. Mitchell and Burgess are among the worst perpetrators in this offensive scenario,” Diddy’s lawyers fumed in their lawsuit.

His countersuit says Burgess pushed the story for attention and did not care about the fallout.

The case froze when Diddy could not serve Burgess. His team spent months hunting him down. Process servers went to addresses in Florence, South Carolina, West Orange, New Jersey and Catonsville, Maryland.

They knocked on doors and met new residents with no link to him. They mailed packets to a P.O. box tied to him. They sent emails to five accounts flagged by investigators.

They called a number that a neighbor said was his. One process server spoke to a man he believed was Burgess, who said he needed to “talk to his lawyer,” then vanished and was never picked up again.

Every attempt hit a wall.

That record convinced the judge that Burgess was either avoiding service or was too difficult to locate through normal means. The judge said Diddy had done more than enough and needed a way to move the case forward.

The judge approved a wide plan.

Diddy can serve Burgess by certified mail at two known homes and a P.O. box. He can email the five accounts linked to him. He can send a text message to the number investigators believe he uses.

And he can publish legal notices in the Maryland Daily Record, The Star-Ledger and The Morning News. Those papers cover the regions tied to Burgess’s possible locations.

The judge said these methods give the best chance of reaching him and keeping the lawsuit alive. Diddy now has until January 16, 2026, to complete the service and advance the case to the next stage.

Diddy was convicted in July 2025 of two counts of transportation for the purposes of prostitution and in October 2025, was sentenced to 50 months in federal prison.

He is serving his sentence at FCI Fort Dix, a federal low-security prison in New Jersey.

Watch T.I.’s New “ExpediTIously” Featuring Allen Iverson

Tip Harris ignited November with a sharp cultural collision of Hip-Hop and hardwood legend as he launched a new season of his expediTIously podcast from Atlanta today with Allen Iverson as his first guest.

“You’ve been asking and I’ve been listening; that’s why I’m bringing expediTIously back!!!! Starting with a brow raising insightful conversation with none other than ‘The Answer’… League MVP Hall of Famer and Icon of a generation Allen Iverson,” Harris said.

The premiere episode runs an hour and dives into Iverson’s reflections on fame, the pressure of his superstardom, his own missteps and what redemption looks like for one of basketball’s most influential figures. Iverson also opens up about his new book “Misunderstood,” which breaks down the myths around his legacy.

Earlier seasons of the show featured voices spanning comedy, activism and pop culture including Cardi B, Chris Tucker, Alex Jones, Mike Tyson, Charlamagne tha God and social justice advocate Jane Elliott. The new slate promises more conversations with Shaquille O’Neal and additional cultural heavyweights who shaped the last three decades of sports, style and Hip-Hop.

Tip continues to operate as one of the rare artists whose influence lives far outside the booth.

The new season arrives at a time when long-form Hip-Hop conversations are evolving fast, but Tip’s voice stands out for its mix of humor, honesty and cultural relevance. He sets the tone by opening the new season with Iverson.

Big Daddy Kane Merges Virtual Reality & Hip-Hop To Announce First LP In Over Two Decades

Big Daddy Kane launched a futuristic digital experience with HTC VIVERSE to unveil his first full-length album in 26 years and reintroduce himself to a new generation of Hip-Hop listeners.

The Brooklyn-born lyricist rolled out the collaboration through an immersive virtual platform at officialbigdaddykane.com, where users can navigate three interactive environments that reflect his legacy and preview what’s next.

The project marks Kane’s most ambitious return since 1998’s Veteranz’ Day and places him at the center of a growing wave of artists using technology to bridge the past and future.

“I wanted to bring fans back to my roots—Brooklyn in the ’80s, where it all began for me,” Kane said in a statement. “But this isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about preserving the essence of that era while showing what’s possible when Hip-Hop’s pioneers embrace innovation. The experience had to capture that unmistakable feeling that you only get from Big Daddy Kane’s world. Step in and explore it like never before.”

The digital world includes three main hubs: The Theater, which hosts behind-the-scenes content and interviews; King’s Record, a nod to classic record stores where users can browse Kane’s catalog; and The Hall of Fame, a virtual museum of his awards, stage outfits and memorabilia.

The collaboration is the first phase of a larger rollout that includes a documentary series, a spirits line, fashion partnerships and a literary project—all scheduled to drop between 2025 and 2026.

The centerpiece remains the new album, which will showcase Kane’s signature wordplay over modern production.

“It doesn’t get bigger than Big Daddy Kane—a true legend in the Hip-Hop world and a visionary who understands how to honor the past while building for the future,” said Andranik Aslanyan, Head of Growth at HTC VIVERSE. “Without VIVERSE’s spatial computing technology, we wouldn’t have been able to create such an effortless, cross-platform experience that allows fans to truly step into the world Big Daddy Kane shaped.”

The launch arrives as immersive storytelling continues to expand, with the industry expected to reach $56 million by 2030. Kane’s strategy reflects how legendary artists are evolving with the times, using new platforms to deepen their cultural impact.

Big Daddy Kane, who once mentored Jay-Z and ranked among MTV’s top 10 MCs of all time, remains a towering figure in Hip-Hop. His influence spans decades, from his lyrical dominance in the 1980s to his role in merging music, fashion and performance.

The immersive experience opens on a virtual Brooklyn street corner, inviting users to sign up for Kane’s newsletter and stay updated on his upcoming releases.

“This is about showing that hip-hop’s pioneers don’t just preserve history—we continue to create it,” Kane said.

Porsha Williams Could Be In Trouble, With The FBI

Porsha Williams got pulled off a Delta flight in Atlanta after some kind of mid-air drama that now has the FBI sniffing around for possible federal charges.

The whole thing went down on November 16 while she was flying back from Las Vegas. Cops were waiting when the plane landed at Hartsfield-Jackson and had a quick convo with her before she bounced from the terminal.

Now the feds are officially involved.

“FBI Atlanta is aware of incident on a Delta flight on November 16th allegedly involving Porsha Williams and/or at least one other person,” an FBI spokesperson confirmed. “We are looking to see whether any federal charges may or may not apply.”

Delta says their crew had to step in with two passengers mid-flight, but the plane still landed on time and everything stayed chill operationally. Cops were called in as a backup move.

If you’re not familiar, Williams had been in Vegas for BravoCon 2025 at Caesars Forum, where she was living it up with Kyle Richards, Jennifer Tilly, Teddi Mellencamp, Kandi Burruss‘ daughter Riley and Emily Simpson.

She also hit the stage for panels hyping up Season 17 of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” and gave updates on her dating life after splitting from Simon Guobadia earlier this year.

That marriage barely lasted a year before she filed for divorce in early 2024. Guobadia later claimed she was in it for the money. Her camp said she’s moved on and wished him well.

Hours before the FBI news broke, Williams dropped a heartfelt post on Instagram about her mental health and personal growth.

“Keep pushing! I thank God everyday that i’m in my right mind and not only haven’t lost myself but i’ve found & appropriate a better me,” she wrote. “Leaving BravoCon i’m filled with all the love and warmth and support from our beautiful fans. I just wanna extend a thank you from the bottom of my heart for not only your prayers but for being with me on this journey call life.”

Williams has also been teasing new real estate ventures and staying active with charity work while filming the latest season of RHOA.

Bravo hasn’t said a word about the incident yet. No charges have been filed so far, and details of precisely what happened on the plane remain murky.

Are Diddy Rumors Around Aaron Hall Causing Teddy Riley’s GUY 2.0?

Aww man… this one right here is heating up the R&B streets.

Word is that Teddy Riley is not-so quietly putting together a new group called “Guy 2.0.” Yes, you read that right and nobody is sure about this. A whole new version of GUY? And before you ask… no, Aaron Hall. And no Damion Hall.

READ ALSO: Teddy Riley Relaunches Guy With New Lineup

The people have spoken and the do not want this. But, does Teddy have a choice in this?

Some folks are saying Teddy wants a clean, drama-free reboot! I am sure he also wants some younger guys, fresher energy and a modern version of the New Jack Classic! GUY is like Old Jack City! I am kidding, but you know what I mean. They are also saying Aaron Hall might be too “hot” to touch right now because of his legal situations hovering in the background.

Nobody’s confirmed anything, but insiders are hinting that Teddy is staying far, far away from anything that could complicate his rise. Remember, last year he was in Pharrell’s Piece By Piece. “It’s protection.” There is some bad energy out there right now.

Aaron Hall has an accusation of the Diddy kind out there. Last time we checked, he had completely disappeared. Don’t believe me? Click here!

READ ALSO: Aaron Hall Has Vanished According To Woman Suing Diddy & Singer

To be clear:
No official statements.
No public fallout.
No shots fired.

Just… silence. Mostly. Damion said something like, “There can only be one Guy.” That’s about it.

People close to the situation say Teddy wants Guy 2.0 to move, tour and hit the road heavy. I don’t think he wants anything to stop that motion. Teddy might not want to gamble the entire comeback with that ol’ BS!

Fans are already asking the questions:

  • Did Teddy and Aaron fall out?
  • Is this temporary?
  • Is Guy 2.0 the “new GUY” or a whole different group?
  • What exactly is going on with Aaron Hall?

READ ALSO: Aaron Hall Dragged Online Amid Allegations He & Diddy Assaulted Woman …

At this point, only Teddy knows. And he’s not saying a word.
The streets are talking for him.

A GUY reboot without the original voice feels corny af, but I guess we’ll have to see.

Stay tuned…they have not turned on the gas heater yet.

Mark Epstein Claimed Jeffrey Had “Dirt” On Donald Trump & Claims FBI Is Covering Up

Mark Epstein alleged during a Monday night interview that his late brother Jeffrey Epstein had compromising information about Donald Trump, accusing federal authorities of scrubbing files to protect political figures.

The claims aired on NewsNation’s CUOMO show came just hours after Trump reversed his stance and called for the full release of Epstein-related documents.

“I’ve been recently told the reason they’re going to be releasing these things and the reason for the flip is that they’re sanitizing these files,” Mark said. “There’s a facility in Winchester, Virginia, where they’re scrubbing the files to take Republican names out of it. That’s what I was told by a pretty good source.”

Mark, a New York real estate developer, didn’t stop there. He accused FBI Director Kash Patel of playing a role in covering up Jeffrey’s death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan.

“He was the one who said in his testimony, ‘you know a suicide when you see one.’ I had a laugh. How many suicides has that j****** seen?” he said.

The interview followed the release of thousands of emails tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, which House Democrats made public last week. The emails have reignited public interest in the case, especially as some of the messages between the Epstein brothers hint at potential sexual misconduct involving prominent political figures.

Mark refused to elaborate on one particular email that sparked speculation.

“I’m not discussing that email. This is a private email between Jeffrey and myself, it’s two brothers talking. It’s nobody’s business what we wrote,” he said. “The only thing I responded to, because people got crazy with the ‘Bubba’ reference (in the email), and they tried to pin it on Clinton. So I made a public statement that it was not any reference to Bill Clinton. I like Bill Clinton … the email had nothing to do with Clinton, and that’s my last word on that email.”

Despite staying tight-lipped on the content of the emails, Mark made a direct claim about Donald Trump.

“He didn’t tell me what he knew, but Jeffrey definitely had dirt on Trump,” he said. “You could see in the emails, Trump could deny it all he wants, but it’s pretty clear everything Trump says is a lie.”

Mark has long rejected the official explanation of his brother’s death, insisting Jeffrey was murdered while in federal custody.

His latest public remarks add fuel to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding the Epstein case, which remains one of the most controversial criminal sagas in recent U.S. history.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has signaled that a vote to compel the Department of Justice to release more documents could take place this week.

Usher Sues Lawyer & Bryan Michael Cox Over For Millions Over Failed Restaurant Venture

Usher Raymond has initiated legal proceedings against his longtime collaborator Bryan Michael Cox, demanding repayment of funds advanced for an Atlanta restaurant project that never materialized.

According to reports, the R&B superstar filed suit in Fulton County Superior Court on Friday, targeting Cox alongside Keith Thomas, Charles Hughes, and entertainment attorney Alcide Honoré.

The legal action centers on a $1.7 million advance Raymond provided in January for a proposed Buckhead establishment called Homage ATL.

Cox, whose production credits include Raymond’s chart-toppers “Burn” and “U Got It Bad,” approached the Grammy winner last year about acquiring the former Ocean Prime location at 3102 Piedmont Road.

According to court documents, Raymond declined to invest but agreed to provide financing through a loan arrangement. The funds were transferred to a trust account, with the expectation that the property purchase would proceed expeditiously.

Months passed without the real estate transaction being completed, prompting Raymond to request loan repayment during the summer months. While $1 million was returned in August, the remaining $700,000 balance has not been satisfied.

The lawsuit alleges that Honoré acknowledged the difficulty of repaying the outstanding amount, stating it was “not that easy” because the money had been used for “other purposes.”

Raymond’s legal team is pursuing $4.9 million in total damages, calculating $700,000 for each of seven distinct claims outlined in the filing. The defendants have not yet filed responses or counterclaims as of Tuesday.

The failed restaurant venture represents an unusual business dispute between Raymond and Cox, whose collaborative history includes some of contemporary R&B’s most recognizable hits.

Cox’s production company, Blackbaby Inc., has shaped the sound of numerous chart-topping records across multiple decades.

The four-time Grammy-winning producer has maintained a professional relationship with Raymond spanning over two decades, contributing to the singer’s most successful albums, including the diamond-certified Confessions.

Usher is not new to the restaurant business. Last year, he opened his first Dave’s Hot Chicken franchise.

Nicki Minaj Gets Political For Nigerian Christians At U.N. – “It’s About Uniting Humanity”

Nicki Minaj took her voice from the stage to the global arena at the United Nations in New York, where she joined a panel focused on the deadly persecution of Christians in Nigeria and aligned herself with former President Donald Trump’s call for action.

The Hip-Hop superstar appeared at the high-profile event titled “Combating Religious Violence and the Killing of Christians in Nigeria,” moderated by Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner.

“I must say I am very nervous, so please, well, thank you, Ambassador Waltz, for this invitation. It is an honor to stand on this stage with you and the other distinguished speakers here today to shine a spotlight on the deadly threat faced by thousands of Christians in Nigeria,” Nicki Minaj said.

“I stand here as a proud New Yorker with a deep sense of gratitude that we live in a country where we can freely and safely worship God regardless of one’s creed, background, or politics. No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion…we don’t have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other. We’re way beyond thinking or expecting or assuming for, you know, the person sitting next to you to have the exact same beliefs. We’re beyond that. That’s ridiculous,” Nicki Minaj said.

Nicki Minaj, known for her outspoken nature, shared the stage with U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz, marking an unexpected crossover between pop culture and global politics.

The panel aimed to address the mass killings, kidnappings and destruction of Christian communities in Nigeria, a crisis that has drawn increasing international attention.

The rapper’s involvement came after she reposted a statement from Trump designating Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and blaming “Radical Islamists” for the violence targeting Christians.

During the panel, she doubled down on her message, calling for respect across all faiths and for the protection of religious freedom.

According to reports, more than 7,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria in the first 220 days of 2025. Nearly 8,000 have been abducted. Since 2009, an estimated 125,000 Christians have died, and more than 19,000 churches have been destroyed.

“Sadly, this problem is not only a growing problem in Nigeria, but also in so many other countries across the world, and it demands urgent action. And I want to be clear. Protecting Christians in Nigeria is not about taking sides or dividing people. It is about uniting humanity. Nigeria is a beautiful nation with deep faith traditions and lots of beautiful barbs,” Nicki Minaj said.

Nicki’s fans flooded her social media accounts with praise after the U.N. panel discussion with Faulkner and Waltz, giving her props for using her platform to highlight the crisis.

“As a fan of Nicki Minaj living in Nigeria 🇳🇬, we support her for speaking up for us,” one user wrote. Another added, “We’re not only proud of our Queen but we’re grateful that you gave her this opportunity – after years of her philanthropy this is well earned.”

The violence against Christians in Nigeria is largely attributed to extremist groups, including Boko Haram, ISWAP and radical Fulani herdsmen, who often target Christian communities in the country’s Middle Belt and northern regions.

However, Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs pushed back on the narrative that Christians are the only victims.

“We’ve continuously made our point clear that we acknowledge the fact that there are killings that have taken place in Nigeria, but those killings were not restricted to Christians alone,” said Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa, a spokesman for the ministry, in a statement to Al Jazeera. Muslims are being killed. Traditional worshippers are being killed… The majority is not the Christian population.”

Big Dom, John Cena, Scattebo, Netflix & One Loud Eagles Fan: Rowdy WWE Noise

Netflix and WWE did it again, but there was a twist this time!

Big Dom and Cooper DeJean- a pair of Philly Eagles – turned Madison Square Garden into a Philly annex for a moment last night. Honestly, the night belonged to WWE great John Cena. Cena was on deck for what insiders insisted would be his final appearance with the franchise. The place buzzed and Cena kicked things off with a match that had the entire arena locked in. They were chanting his name over and over and over.

But that was only half the story. Cooper DeJean is a defensive phenom for the Eagles that has his own knack for electrifying crowds. He slid into MSG. Sitting right beside him was none other than Big Dom, the Eagles fixer who seems to operate somewhere between bodyguard, consigliere and urban legend. The crowd booed both Coop and Big Dom when they were announced. That is New York hospitality for you!

Somewhere in that sea of Giants loyalists stood one bold soul…who did not care about the likelihood of being side-eyed. Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur decided it was the perfect moment to belt out “E-A-G-L-E-S – EAGLES!” at the top of his lungs. (He told me this, but click here if you want to hear how he did it. The rest is his version of events. LOL!) The walls shook. The Knicks banners trembled. About three brave strangers joined in – “EAGLES!.” Big Dom scanned the arena looking for the madman responsible, but the crowd probably swallowed Chuck like a witness in a mob movie. LOL!

Jigsaw snapped this picture:

Big Dom eventually returned to regular programming after escorting Cooper out safely. He drifted backstage and connected with running back Cam Skattebo, taking some flicks. This rookie dude has had a tough few weeks after suffering a brutal ankle injury that left his foot bent in a way no foot should ever be bent. When Scat was admitted to the University of Pennsylvania hospital, Big Dom came through with cheesesteaks and pizza. Yes, the same Big Dom fans fear and opponents cursed out showed genuine compassion to the young rookie. Shame on you NYC! Chuck caught up with Scattebo too and gave him the respect he deserves but let it be known his allegiance – with a Yankees cap on! OK!

Ya’ll see the grill!

The night was greatness and the building was full of surprises. Rappers AZ, Cormega and DJ Self were in the mix. Pete Davidson added his signature chaos energy and took pics with fans. Netflix captured everything. WWE brought the spectacle as always. And John Cena basically ran through his last RAW, but not his last match. Yet.

Meanwhile, the Eagles still hold the NFC East in a tight grip while the Giants, Commanders and Cowboys deal with the disappointment of being way behind the Birds.

Our full recap is coming soon.

Omarion Says Celibacy Responsible For His Mental Strength

Omarion revealed his three-year journey of celibacy and spiritual discipline during a revealing conversation with Boyz II Men’s Shawn Stockman on the On That Note podcast, describing it as a formative chapter in his personal growth and self-mastery.

The B2K frontman didn’t hold back as he reflected on the period of intentional abstinence, saying it was driven by a desire to gain control over his body and mind.

“I did it for three years. Now I look back, I be like, sheesh,” he said. “‘Cause I love women. I love women in all splendour, friendships, best friends, lovers, all that.”

Omarion explained the deeper connection he felt during that time, calling it a kind of mental intimacy.

“I think that’s when I was being introduced to a form of telepathy. Feeling closer to someone even when they’re away,” he said. “I just had the power to say no to anything. Like yo, if I don’t want to do something, I could stop today. And I think that that’s the power of discipline.”

This isn’t the first time the R&B singer has opened up about this chapter in his life. He previously discussed it on the “Know Thyself” podcast, recalling advice he received in his teenage years.

“‘Do you want to have a career? Or do you want to be out here making babies?’” he remembered being asked. “And we’re like, ‘Huh?’ You know 15, 16, we’re not thinking about that, but it’s a real thing.”

Now a father of two with his ex, Apryl Jones, Omarion continues to explore his evolution through music. His upcoming album O2 is slated for release in 2026.

EXCLUSIVE: Feds Downplay Keeping Threats To Lil Durk Judge Quiet

Lil Durk is facing new resistance from federal prosecutors, who argue that the threatening voicemails tied to his case were not severe enough to justify removing the judge or disqualifying the prosecution team, nor were they serious enough to require an immediate notification to his lawyers.

Durk’s team insists the court and government hid key information when they failed to disclose four voicemails left for Magistrate Judge Patricia Donahue.

The caller referenced Durk and codefendant Deandre Wilson by name and warned the judge to “do the right thing.” The messages also included violent language about burning things down and sounds mimicking gunfire.

Prosecutors acknowledge the voicemails existed but argue they do not rise to the level of bias or partiality required for recusal. They point to long-standing federal precedent that treats threatening calls as attempts to manipulate the system, not proof that a judge cannot rule fairly.

“The law is clear that ‘threats or other attempts to intimidate the judge’ do ‘not ordinarily require recusal,'” prosecutors wrote.

The government states that the calls originated from unknown third parties, not Durk, and did not pose a genuine risk that the judge or courthouse personnel would be influenced in a manner that harmed the defendants.

Prosecutors argue the messages never reached a level where the court was compromised or where the public could reasonably question the judge’s neutrality.

They also pushed back on the idea that keeping the voicemails from Durk’s lawyers was improper.

Prosecutors argue that there was no legal requirement to notify the defense because the threats targeted the judge, not any evidence in the case, and did not impact the government’s handling of the charges.

Their response states that the court was informed through proper channels and that the messages had no impact on the rulings or strategy.

Prosecutors also argue they moved quickly to assess the calls through the U.S. Marshals Service and FBI, which they say confirmed the threats as attempts to influence the case rather than genuine danger.

They say Durk’s request to pause the entire case and bring in an outside judge would reward whoever made the calls, creating a path for anonymous callers to derail federal trials at will.

“Following defendants’ reasoning, any time a district or magistrate judge in a district is threatened, regardless of the circumstances of the threat, defendants would be allowed to disqualify all judges,” prosecutors wrote.

Durk’s lawyers maintain that the secrecy violated due process and compromised the fairness of the case. Prosecutors say nothing about the voicemails changed the court’s decisions and the defense is overstating their importance.

The fight arrives as Durk faces charges tied to a murder-for-hire plot targeting Savannah rapper Quando Rondo.

Prosecutors say the planned attack was retaliation for the 2020 encounter that left King Von dead and resulted in the killing of Lul Pab, a close associate, fueling the feud behind the federal case.

Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon Says Ego Destroyed Friendship With Kanye West

Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon didn’t hold back when reflecting on his fractured bond with Kanye West, saying unchecked ego ruined a once-creative partnership that had captivated Hip-Hop and indie music alike.

The Bon Iver frontman described the unraveling of their relationship in a recent interview with The Times, revealing he walked away from Kanye West long before the rapper’s most polarizing controversies.

“Well, ego is such a powerful thing,” Vernon said. “And it destroyed my friend.”

Their collaboration began with promise. Vernon’s haunting vocals helped shape West’s 2010 opus My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, appearing on the track “Lost in the World.”

The two artists shared the stage at Coachella in 2011 and at Glastonbury in 2015, with West once calling Vernon “my favourite living artist.”

But behind the scenes, Vernon saw a troubling shift.

“My friendship with Kanye started in 2009 or 2010. And I left my friendship with him around 2014 — before even the Trump stuff, the KKK s###,” he said.

Vernon’s remarks come as West faces a string of legal and reputational issues.

His former assistant filed a lawsuit accusing him of assault, battery, stalking, sexual battery, sex trafficking and false imprisonment. West has also made repeated antisemitic remarks, including praise for Adolf Hitler, drawing widespread condemnation.

“It’s very sad to me,” Vernon said. “He just was destroyed by his own ego and nobody could have warned him because he wouldn’t listen. He doesn’t listen.”

Vernon contrasted West’s downfall with the resilience of Taylor Swift, another artist he’s collaborated with. “But then you look at somebody like Taylor? She’s built for it, man. She can handle it,” he said.

Now, Vernon appears to be stepping back from music altogether. “I’d be very surprised if I made another album,” he told The Times.

Roland Martin Blasts Pharrell Williams For “Dumbest” Comments About Politics

Veteran journalist Roland Martin has gone off on Pharrell Williams for dismissing politics as “a magic trick” that “causes division,” calling the producer’s comments “some of the dumbest I ever heard.”

Pharrell made the controversial statement during his fifth annual Black Ambition Demo Day in Miami, where he also received a ceremonial key to Miami-Dade County. The event, designed to empower Black entrepreneurs, became a flashpoint when the Virginia native told the crowd he hates politics, suggesting that choosing sides only divides people.

Martin, host of Roland Martin Unfiltered, wasn’t having it. In a fiery segment, he spent nearly 15 minutes dismantling Pharrell’s remarks, pointing out that politics plays a direct role in everything from Grammy Awards to wrongful death settlements.

“What Pharrell just said there is really some of the dumbest I ever heard,” Martin began. “Pharrell said, ‘I hate politics. It’s a magic trick. It’s not real. When you pick a side, you pick division.’ Okay, Pharrell, when somebody’s running for office, somebody’s going to win. If you vote, you got to pick.”

Martin drew an analogy between the voting process and Pharrell’s own Grammy wins. “You got 13 Grammys, which means you were nominated a number of times. That means people voted. In politics, that’s the same thing. A committee—called voters—assessed the work and decided who should win. That’s politics.”

He went on to highlight how political decisions directly affected Pharrell’s own life. “Your cousin Donovan Lynch was shot and killed in Virginia Beach. The city settled the lawsuit for $3 million. That’s called politics. Elected leaders had to approve that settlement.”

Martin accused Pharrell of ignoring the realities that shape his own career. “You cannot hold a music festival unless you get permits, unless you follow city law. Who do you think sets those rules? That’s politics,” he said, referring to Pharrell’s Something in the Water festival in Virginia Beach.

He also called out Pharrell’s comments on meritocracy and race. “You said, ‘What are we going to do? You didn’t get a job because you’re Black.’ What are you talking about? That’s that MAGA nonsense,” Martin snapped. “Black folks have been highly qualified for centuries and were overlooked by people. Politics made it possible for you to even sit there and have that event.”

The media personality capped off his critique by calling Pharrell’s statement “irrational,” especially given the setting. “You accepted a key to Miami-Dade County at your Black Ambition event, and you said politics isn’t real. That key was approved through politics,” he said. “How do you not see that?”

Martin ended by urging influential figures like Pharrell to think before speaking on public platforms. “If you are an entertainer and you have a mic, can you please read, watch, listen, talk to somebody before you say some dumb on the microphone?”

The viral takedown has reignited a longstanding debate within Black culture about the balance between artistic freedom and political responsibility. As Martin made clear, for him, silence or neutrality in the face of systemic power isn’t enlightenment—it’s denial.

Autopsy Confirms Cop Shot Rapper 17 Times In The Back, Family Calls For Arrest

B Green was struck 17 times in the back outside a Buckhead bar, according to a Fulton County autopsy report that has reignited public scrutiny over his fatal shooting by an off-duty Atlanta police officer.

The 44-year-old Atlanta rapper was a member of the influential Hip-Hop collective Duct Tape Entertainment, which included Alley Boy, Big Bank Black, Trouble and others.

According to 11Alive, the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s report detailed the incident that occurred on October 11, which took place behind the Five Paces Inn.

B Green suffered two gunshot wounds to his upper right back, one to the buttocks and 14 more across his mid and lower back.

No bullets entered from the front.

“I just couldn’t believe it was 17 times in the back,” Timothy Coleman, B Green’s longtime manager and friend, told 11Alive. “There’s not one shot in the front.”

Officer Gerald Walker, who was working private security at the bar, fired the fatal shots after what authorities described as a disturbance inside the venue.

William Stanley, a friend who accompanied B Green that night, told investigators that Walker was already at the door wearing an Atlanta Police Department shirt and conducting pat-downs.

“That was my first time being to that bar, but [Green] had to have been there before and had something going on with the officer because when we first walked into the club, the guy was like, ‘OK, we gonna be good tonight? We straight tonight?’ and [Green] was like ‘We good, man,’” Stanley said.

After a confrontation inside, Stanley said B Green walked toward the back of the building. Witnesses said Walker followed him outside.

“When I bent the corner, I saw BG. [He looked] like he was trying to head back into the establishment, but the dude was already shooting him, he had already shot him over five or six times at that point,” Stanley said.

According to the GBI, Walker claimed he saw B Green retrieve something from a vehicle before trying to re-enter the venue through a rear entrance. The officer reportedly gave verbal commands about a weapon before opening fire.

A handgun was recovered at the scene, but officials have not confirmed who it belonged to.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is still reviewing the incident.

Game Confessed His Past Womanizing Ways To Kirk Franklin

Game peeled back the curtain on his past relationships and emotional growth during a revealing moment on Kirk Franklin‘s Den of Kings podcast, where he joined Snoop Dogg, Big Boy, Matt Barnes and Deon Cole.

The Compton rapper opened up about how his views on intimacy and women have shifted with age. Reflecting on his younger years, he admitted his approach to relationships lacked emotional depth.

“Sometimes, like when I was in my 20s and my 30s, it was just an exchange,” he said. “It was, ‘Hey, hey, I’m giving you this. We’re having our moment and I’m going to get back to my life. You get back to yours.’ No emotions ‘cause you’re young. Everybody’s got their whole life ahead of them.”

Now in his 40s, The Game said the emotional stakes feel different.

“When you get in your 40s, man, you start feeling like you’re womanizing, and I’m taking emotions home with me, or she’s taking emotions out the door with her if you are, you know, living that type of lifestyle,” he said.

He added, “When you’re young and you’re dealing with a young woman, ain’t nobody tripping. It’s all good.”

Game, who first became a father in 2003 with the birth of Harlem Caron Taylor, has four children. His son King Justice arrived in 2007, followed by his daughter Cali Dream in 2010.

Most recently, he and podcast host Shaniece Hairston welcomed a baby boy named Blaze Taylor in December 2023.

The full conversation aired on Den of Kings, which continues to feature high-profile guests discussing personal growth, fatherhood and legacy.
