Offset Calls Viral “My Kid” Post About Cardi B’s Son Completely Fake

Offset shut down internet chaos over Cardi B and Stefon Diggs’ baby with a loud “nah” after a wild post claimed he called the kid his.

The rapper found himself getting dragged after a sketchy Instagram Story started floating around, showing what looked like him saying “My kid lol” about Cardi B’s newborn with NFL baller Stefon Diggs. The post made the rounds really fast and had social media losing it, with Cardi popping off and accusing her ex of harassment.

But Offset’s camp told TMZ that the whole thing was cap.

“Any statements attributed to Offset circulating on social media are completely fabricated. Cardi responded to misinformation, and the situation escalated unnecessarily. Offset has remained supportive of Cardi and genuinely wishes her nothing but the best.”

Cardi B claimed she’s scared for her safety and told folks to quit playing around with the situation. “Y’all be thinking it’s so funny and it’s not … It’s all fun and games until it’s too late.”

She also got real about how much this whole mess is messing with her head. “Sometimes I sleep and I wonder, ‘This is not normal.’ You see crime documentaries … You see s*** on social media about women getting killed every other day.”

Things got even more tense when whispers started flying that Offset referenced Georgia’s paternity laws in now-deleted tweets.

Basically, if a husband can prove he had “access” to his wife when the baby was conceived, he could technically go after paternity rights, even if the baby’s clearly someone else’s. Cardi can still fight that in court, though.

The two tied the knot back in 2017 on the low and had three kids. But Cardi filed for divorce in 2024 and moved on with Stefon Diggs, giving birth to their son in late 2025.

Their relationship has been a rollercoaster from jump, cheating rumors, breakups, makeups, all of it. But this situation is uglier than ever. Cardi even called Offset “obsessed” with her, even though their split is already in motion.

50 Cent Torches New York Living After Jets Player Shot, Pushes Shreveport Escape

50 Cent is urging New Yorkers to choose Shreveport, Louisiana, after a Jets player was shot outside a Manhattan restaurant.

The Queens rapper posted and deleted a graphic on Instagram that read, “In Louisiana, we value capitalism, not socialism. We reward success – not punish it. We work hard, not complain. We cut taxes to win new business. We grow jobs – not government.”

50 Cent Louisiana Meme

Under the image, he wrote, “While you are rethinking New York City, rethink Louisiana All roads lead to Shreveport I’m not playing, but you can stay play for the jets and get shot!”

The jab came one day after New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd was shot in the abdomen during a dispute outside Sei Less, a popular Midtown restaurant on West 38th Street.

Boyd, 29, was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where doctors removed a bullet lodged in his lung and listed him in critical but stable condition as police searched for the gunman.

For 50 Cent, the shooting is more proof that New York is headed in the wrong direction under mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, whose progressive tax and policing plans have already put them at odds.

The rapper warned in another Instagram post, “I think his intentions are good,but his Tax plan is gonna run the big money out of the city and if he defunds the police, they are gonna purge.”

He later shared posts mourning “RIP New York City” and mocking the idea that wealthy residents will accept a tax hike of about 2 percent on income over $1 million to fund policies like free public transit.

Mamdani has tried to keep the fight light. In one interview, he joked, “Even though we have a disagreement on tax policy, every time I get a death threat, I still listen to ‘Many Men,'” flipping the title of a 1950s classic record into a punch line.

While he rips New York online, 50 Cent is pouring money into Louisiana. Through G-Unit Films & Television Louisiana, he has bought roughly 20 properties in downtown Shreveport and is believed to be the city’s largest private landowner.

City leaders approved a “50 Cent Economic District” that will utilize a 2 percent local sales tax to help fund a $50 million entertainment zone centered around studio facilities, live events, and nightlife.

The rapper has already rolled out BizCamp, a program that brings young people into his Shreveport hub to learn film, music and business skills, and he has met with Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and Shreveport Mayor Tom Arceneaux to talk long-term plans.

From his point of view, the contrast is simple: New York is raising taxes on people like him and considering reduced police budgets, while Shreveport and Louisiana welcome his capital and brand.

His latest post turns that message into a blunt dare to New Yorkers who feel the same way, using Kris Boyd’s shooting outside Sei Less on November 16, 2025, as his cautionary tale.

Nicki Minaj Loses Viral “What’s Up?” Remix Opportunity With Linda Perry

Nicki Minaj was set to join Linda Perry in a new take on the 1993 anthem “What’s Up?” for an official version of the viral TikTok mashup blending 4 Non Blondes’ hit with Minaj’s “Beez in the Trap,” but the collaboration fell through due to scheduling conflicts and Perry’s refusal to work remotely.

The unexpected pairing of alternative rock and Hip-Hop took over TikTok last month, racking up more than 460,000 user videos and sending “What’s Up?” back onto several Billboard charts.

The viral momentum caught Perry by surprise.

“This is definitely a different type of blow-up, because it’s happening on TikTok,” Perry told VICE backstage at Mexico City’s Corona Capital Festival. “I embrace anything that happens with anything that I create, because it’s pretty awesome. It also lets kids who never knew the song give it a whole new life with this mash-up. I love it. I’m having fun with it.”

While Perry doesn’t usually dabble in mashups, she immediately saw the appeal of the viral remix. Talks between her and Minaj moved quickly toward a possible studio version. However, geography got in the way.

“She (Minaj) was in New York and we were going to try to do our own and I was like ‘Let’s just end this with her and I,'” Perry explained. “Let’s just put a kibosh on this. But, I can’t go to New York and she can’t come to L.A., so it’s probably not going to happen.”

Perry, known for her analog approach to music-making, refused to compromise on her process. She prefers working in person and ruled out digital file swapping, which ultimately blocked the collaboration from moving forward.

Despite the setback, the viral success of the mashup has drawn attention from other stars.

Perry recently worked with Jennifer Lopez on another version of the trend, proving the song’s lasting cultural impact and its ability to cross genres and generations.

“What’s Up?” has seen several revivals over the past 30 years, but this TikTok-fueled resurgence has pushed the track into a new space—bridging ’90s rock with modern Hip-Hop and introducing it to younger audiences who weren’t even born when it first dropped.

North West Starring In New SKIMS Campaign With Ken Carson & Mariah The Scientist

North West stepped into the spotlight alongside Ken Carson and Mariah the Scientist in the latest SKIMS holiday campaign, a collaboration with Cactus Plant Flea Market that merges high-profile names with offbeat fashion for the season.

The limited-edition capsule, SKIMS’ first-ever holiday drop with cult-favorite CPFM, reimagines the brand’s signature loungewear through a playful, irreverent lens.

The campaign, directed by filmmaker Harmony Korine, features a cast that includes North West, Carson, Mariah, Beabadoobee, Madeline Argy, and Veneda Carter, along with her daughter, Bobbi.

“Having North in this campaign makes it really special for me; she brings so much personality to the pieces,” said Kim Kardashian, SKIMS co-founder and chief creative officer. “Our collaboration with CPFM brings a fresh, unexpected twist to holiday loungewear, with pieces that are iconic, playful, and expressive.”

The visuals, shot through Korine’s experimental lens, reflect the quirky and youthful energy of both brands. Models wear cozy sets in audacious colors and prints, styled with CPFM’s signature graphics and SKIMS’ familiar silhouettes.

The collection spans women’s, men’s and kids’ sizes from XXS to 4X.

“I live for style that doesn’t hold back, and this collection does exactly that,” said Carson. “It’s easy to wear, full of personality, and honestly it just felt right for me.”

The SKIMS x Cactus Plant Flea Market capsule officially launches on November 20 and will be available online at SKIMS.com, Selfridges, Luisaviaroma, and END Clothing.

Pop-up shops will open on the same day in Los Angeles, New York, and London, offering exclusive gifts while supplies last.

Backed by a $225 million funding round led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives, SKIMS hit a $5 billion valuation in November 2025, outpacing brands like Victoria’s Secret and Under Armour.

The company projects over $1 billion in net sales this year and plans to expand into activewear and beauty.

Raekwon Honors Ol’ Dirty Bastard While Reflecting On Wu-Tang Clan Legacy

Raekwon reflected on the Wu-Tang Clan’s enduring legacy and honored Ol’ Dirty Bastard, who foresaw the group’s global rise decades before it came to pass.

The Hip-Hop veteran helped bring Wu-Tang’s “The Final Chamber” tour to a close across the U.S. earlier this year, marking the end of a decades-long run that reshaped the rap music landscape.

The tour was more than a final bow—it was a tribute. The group honored the memory of Ol’ Dirty Bastard, who died in 2004 at age 35 from an accidental drug overdose.

His son, Young Dirty Bastard, has been performing with the group in recent years, continuing his father’s legacy.

Raekwon recalled ODB’s early confidence in the group’s future during a recent People interview.

“When I go back to the ’90s and remember Ol’ Dirty Bastard being right here with us and kind of predicting the future of the group, I think those times is something that is always going to be important when it comes to our nostalgia,” he said.

He also reflected on the uphill battle the group faced in the early days, a journey that came with sacrifices.

“A lot of rhymes is wrote, a lot of time away from our families to go do a job. But we were able to also help our friends and put them in great positions and just see that it became a chain, where it helped everybody,” he said. “Back then, it was really tough to come into the game, nine artists and demand this kind of group situation, and turning that into a million-dollar franchise.”

Despite the success, the pain of losing ODB still lingers. “We lost our brother to something that happens all over the world,” Raekwon said. “People get caught up in these situations. But I think he was the one that always was like, ‘Yo, we going to rock the world. We going to shock the world.'”

At the time, Raekwon admitted, they didn’t fully believe it. “When he was saying it back then, it was funny, but we never took it for granted,” he said. “We was like, ‘Okay, if you see it before we see it, then that’s good that you see it, because now if you see it, then we all see it. Now we’re going to make the world see it.'”

Three decades after Wu-Tang Clan’s formation in 1992, Raekwon confirmed the group maintains the same passion that drove them from the beginning.

“I think that’s a beautiful thing,” he explained. “It takes someone mighty to know your full potential and he definitely was telling us this, way before we even thought it could really happen.”

Kim Kardashian Posts Tearful Video After Bar Exam Loss

Kim Kardashian revealed the emotional toll of her latest academic setback and reaffirmed her commitment to becoming a lawyer after failing California’s bar exam earlier this month.

The 45-year-old media mogul and law student shared a raw behind-the-scenes video on Instagram Sunday, capturing two intense weeks of preparation leading up to the November 7 test date.

In the clip, Kardashian is seen in tears, overwhelmed by the pressure of memorizing material for five essay topics.

“Every time I feel like I’m a step ahead, something happens to try to stop me from doing this,” she says in the video. “A part of me just wants to stop. I just feel like my brain’s gonna explode, and I still have so much more to go.”

Alongside the footage, the All’s Fair actress posted a caption reflecting on the disappointment of not passing, but made it clear she’s not giving up.

“I’ve shared so much of this journey with you, and this summer I documented some of the final two weeks of studying — the ups, the downs, and everything in between,” Kardashian wrote. “On November 7th, I found out I didn’t pass the bar. It was disappointing, but it wasn’t the end. This dream means too much to me to walk away from, so I’m going to keep studying, keep learning, and keep showing up for myself until I get there.”

Kardashian began studying law in 2019 through a legal apprenticeship program.

She passed the First-Year Law Students’ Examination, commonly known as the “baby bar,” on her fourth attempt in December 2021. Earlier this year, she completed her legal studies, marking a major milestone in her journey toward becoming a licensed attorney.

The California bar exam is known for its difficulty, with a pass rate that often hovers below 50 percent. Kardashian has not yet announced when she plans to retake the test.

Best Tools to Stop Underbidding Drywall and Painting Contractor Jobs

You quoted $400.
The drywall or painting job cost you $650.

That gap is how underbidding kills profit on drywall contractor jobs and painting contractor jobs.

Most contractors don’t underbid because they don’t know their rates. They underbid because they estimate from memory instead of documentation. You see a damaged wall, remember what a “similar” drywall repair cost, throw out a number, and move on.

Then you open the wall.

Water damage spread farther than expected. The texture doesn’t match. The ceiling is higher than you thought. The access is tight. Now your drywall and painting estimate is wrong, and the job is already sold.

The discipline that stops underbidding drywall and painting jobs starts before software. It starts during the walkthrough.

Slow down.
Look for water stains near drywall damage.
Check ceiling height and wall length.
Note furniture protection, masking, and prep time for painting jobs.
Ask about previous repairs and hidden damage.

Contractors who stop underbidding train themselves to see the entire scope, not just the obvious repair.

Once that habit is in place, these tools help you capture and price what you actually see.


1. Buildertrend

Best for: Larger contractors managing complex drywall and painting projects

Buildertrend is enterprise-level project management with detailed estimating tools. It allows full cost breakdowns, scheduling, and change order tracking. For large drywall packages or full repaint projects tied into remodels, it reduces risk.

For small drywall repairs or single-room painting jobs, it is often too expensive and too heavy.


2. Clear Estimates

Best for: Remodelers pricing standardized drywall and painting work

Clear Estimates uses room-based cost databases with regional pricing. You enter dimensions, select assemblies, and the system generates estimates. It works well for standard painting contractor jobs and predictable drywall scopes.

It struggles with irregular repairs, water damage, or jobs where site conditions matter more than square footage.


3. Quote Helper AI

Best for: Drywall and painting contractors who miss details during estimates

Quote Helper AI uses photos instead of cost databases. You document drywall damage, wall lengths, ceiling height, access, and prep conditions visually, then build the estimate from what’s actually there.

This matters for drywall and painting jobs where scope creep comes from details you don’t notice in the moment. Moisture patterns, texture transitions, masking complexity, and access issues show up clearly in photos.

Trade-specific workflows make it easier to price finishing work without guessing.


4. Stack

Best for: Contractors estimating drywall work from plans and blueprints

Stack is a digital takeoff tool for drywall contractors working from architectural drawings. Upload plans, measure digitally, and generate material quantities for board, framing, and finishes.

It’s excellent for new construction drywall jobs. It offers less value for painting contractor jobs or repair work where no plans exist.


5. CompanyCam + Spreadsheet Method

Best for: Contractors who want documentation without changing pricing systems

CompanyCam organizes job photos by location and date. When paired with a spreadsheet, it creates a habit of documenting drywall and painting jobs visually while keeping your existing estimating workflow.

The downside is separation. Photos live in one system, numbers in another. That gap still creates room for missed scope.


The Takeaway

Underbidding drywall and painting contractor jobs happens when you estimate from memory.

Documentation fixes that.

Whether you use drywall estimating software, painting estimating software, photo-based workflows, or digital takeoffs, the rule is the same:
See everything before you commit to a number.

Kim Kardashian Calls Caitlyn Jenner’s Transition “TV Gold”

Kim Kardashian sparked conversation during The Kardashians season 7 when she reflected on how reality television drama has evolved over the years.

The SKIMS founder made the remarks while wrapping her final day of filming All’s Fair, the Ryan Murphy legal drama that has faced harsh criticism since its November release.

During a candid discussion about the differences between acting and reality TV, Kim addressed how audience expectations for dramatic content have shifted.

“It’s like, what happened to the days when your stepdad turns into a woman? That was TV gold,” Kim stated, referencing Caitlyn Jenner’s 2015 public transition.

Caitlyn Jenner, formerly Bruce Jenner, publicly came out as transgender in April 2015 during a televised interview with Diane Sawyer. The transition became a major storyline for the family’s reality show, generating significant media attention.

Kim has previously discussed the impact of Caitlyn’s transition on their family dynamics.

On Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast, she described it as “the hardest thing” the family had faced publicly, explaining that Caitlyn “wasn’t very open with us about her transition and just kind of came out with it.”

The 44-year-old entrepreneur explained the unique pressures that come with scripted projects compared to reality television.

“There’s definitely a judging meter on you can act, or you’re a bad actress,” she noted, describing how acting requires audiences to believe in a character while reality TV demands viewers connect with authentic personalities.

Kim also touched on the challenge of maintaining viewer interest when life becomes stable. “If you’re excited that your life is finally together and calm, the viewer is p*ssed because it’s finally together and calm,” she observed.

The comments come as Kim navigates her transition into scripted television with All’s Fair, which has received scathing reviews from critics.

The reality star recently failed the bar exam after six years of study, despite portraying a divorce lawyer in All’s Fair. The series premiered on Hulu in November 2025 and features Kim alongside an ensemble cast in the legal drama.

The Guardian described the series as “so awful, it feels almost contemptuous,” while other outlets have questioned her acting abilities.

The Kardashians season 7 continues to document the family’s personal and professional developments as they navigate their individual careers and relationships.

Vivica Fox Softens Her Stance After Viral 50 Cent Dating Advice

Vivica Fox fired up the internet with her no-filter comment about not dating rappers, but now she’s walking it back and blaming it on her own love life drama.

The Vivica Fox moment blew up after she told a crowd at the Ultimate Women’s Expo in Chicago, “Don’t date 50 Cent and don’t date no damn rappers!”

During the Q&A, someone asked Vivica what advice she’d give her 17-year-old self. Without skipping a beat, she dropped the 50 Cent bomb and admitted, “Just so you know, it took me years to be able to laugh about it.”

That line had everybody talking, especially since she and 50 Cent had a brief but loud relationship back in 2003 that ended in a whole lot of public shade.

Now Vivica’s hitting rewind.

TMZ caught up with her in New York, where she tried to cool things off, saying it wasn’t a blanket warning about all Hip-Hop dudes — it was more about her own story.

“People are allowed to date whoever they want and that her message should be taken more as a warning to the girlies to be careful,” she explained.

She also said if she could talk to her younger self, she’d tell her to chill a bit on the public relationship stuff and “maybe not go public so fast and just have fun.”

50 didn’t waste time responding to Viv’s original post.

He fired off a post on Instagram with an AI pic of himself as Morpheus from The Matrix, holding red and blue pills, captioned: “Either way I’m a have that ass in the matrix. You know I love me some you, girl. But damn it’s been 22 years Vivica.”

Vivica actually thought his comeback was chill for once and called it “fantastic.” But when it came to picking her pill, she said, “I’ll take the blue pill.”

Viv’s been in the game for decades, from Independence Day to Empire, but people still bring up her short-lived thing with the G-Unit boss like it happened yesterday.

EXCLUSIVE: Big U Too Dangerous To Attend Son’s Funeral, Prosecutors Claim

Big U is asking a federal judge to let him out of jail long enough to wash and shroud his son’s body and attend the Janazah prayer, but prosecutors say there’s no way they can trust him outside the walls of MDC Los Angeles.

Their new filing argues he’s far too dangerous, too unpredictable and already breaking so many jail rules that even a tightly controlled funeral release would put people at risk.

“Ultimately, [Big U’s] release–– for any amount of time–– creates far too great a risk to justice in this case and to human life. Defendant should remain detained for the safety of the community and the victims and witnesses to his crimes,” prosecutors said.

His request comes after the October 31 killing of his eldest son, Jabari “Baby Uiie” Henley, who was shot in South Los Angeles after leaving a community trunk-or-treat event.

Jabari was hit when he walked up to a car near 69th and Figueroa and someone inside opened fire. He died at the scene. Big U said he wants a brief release to carry out the Islamic rites that require a parent to wash and wrap the body.

His lawyers proposed a highly restricted plan: electronic monitoring, private security paid for by his family, a fixed route between the detention center and the funeral and strict no-contact rules. The filing says all costs would be covered by his family.

Prosecutors responded by laying out months of alleged misconduct that had occurred behind bars.

They said his recorded calls show “hundreds” of violations, including using other inmates’ BOP numbers so he could call people he didn’t want the jail to track.

They said each call opened with the inmate speaking for voice verification before handing him the phone. Prosecutors said he then had people add third parties on encrypted apps and warned them to stick to those encrypted platforms.

They claim he used those calls mostly to reach his girlfriend. According to prosecutors, the two talked about slipping illicit photos through the mail by hiding them in legal papers and continued having phone sex.

They also said he coached her on signing up for one paralegal class so she could pose as a “legal visitor” and bypass visitation rules.

The brief says he didn’t stop there. Prosecutors said he discussed passing messages to co-defendants barred from contacting him, reaching a confidential informant, pushing a rule that no one should plead guilty unless he does and spending large sums on investigators despite having court-appointed lawyers.

Prosecutors argued that letting him out, even briefly, could expose witnesses, noting that he knows precisely who reported him. They said courts rarely grant funeral leave in cases like this and added that his unnamed private security team doesn’t qualify as an “appropriate person” to supervise him under federal law.

Big U is locked up under a 43-count RICO indictment accusing him of running the “Big U Enterprise,” extorting artists and athletes, misusing nonprofit funds, committing fraud and killing aspiring rapper Rayshawn Williams in 2021.

“Big U is charged with the murder of a young man who himself was buried by his parents –a funeral that defendant famously did not attend, despite knowing the victim his whole life, managing his music career, and paying for the trip that would be his last moments on earth,” prosecutors said, referring to Williams’ murder.

The judge will rule on the request on November 17, 2025.

Donald Trump Throws Kanye Under The Bus For Bringing White Nationalist To Mar-a-Lago

President Donald Trump pointed fingers at Kanye West for orchestrating the infamous 2022 Mar-a-Lago dinner that included white nationalist Nick Fuentes.

Trump defended the controversial gathering while addressing mounting Republican backlash over Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with the extremist figure.

Speaking to reporters at Palm Beach International Airport Sunday night, the President awkwardly referred to the Chicago rapper initially as “somebody” before identifying him as the person responsible for bringing Fuentes to his Florida estate.

“I didn’t know he was coming, and he was with, as you know, somebody, Kanye. And Kanye asked if he could have dinner, and he brought Nick. I didn’t know Nick at the time. And he did. He came along with a few other people. He brought a few people with him. Meeting people, talking to people, for somebody like Tucker, that’s what they do, you know? People are controversial. Some are. Some aren’t. I’m not controversial, so I like it that way,” Trump stated.

The comments came as Trump defended Tucker Carlson’s decision to platform Fuentes on “The Tucker Carlson Show,” an interview that has created deep divisions within conservative circles and sparked fierce criticism from Republican leaders.

Carlson’s October 27 podcast episode featured a friendly two-hour conversation with Fuentes, during which the white nationalist promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories and suggested that “organized Jewry in America” posed challenges to national unity.

The interview allowed Fuentes to spread his extremist views largely unchallenged, drawing condemnation from prominent Republicans, including Senator Lindsey Graham, who declared himself part of the “Hitler-sucks wing of the Republican Party.”

The fallout extended beyond political circles into Hollywood, where actress Dasha Nekrasova faced severe professional consequences for her own interview with Fuentes.

The “Succession” star was dropped by talent agency Gersh and removed from the psychological thriller “Iconoclast” after hosting Fuentes on her “Red Scare” podcast in October.

The controversy has reignited discussions about antisemitism within conservative ranks, with Jewish leaders expressing concern about the normalization of extremist rhetoric.

Amy Spitalnick of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs emphasized the need for “moral clarity and courage to name this normalization of antisemitism wherever it exists.”

Fuentes, who leads the antisemitic “Groyper” movement, has built his platform on Holocaust denial, white nationalist ideology and degrading rhetoric about women.

His appearance on mainstream conservative platforms has drawn criticism for legitimizing extremist viewpoints.

6ix9ine Taunts Armed Intruders With Cash After Home Invasion That Held His Mother Hostage

6ix9ine threw wads of money into the air and hurled insults at masked gunmen just hours after they stormed his South Florida home and held his 60-year-old mother hostage during a daytime burglary.

“I’m on house arrest. I’ve been on house arrest I think everyone in America and everyone across the world knows that I’m on house arrest,” 6ix9ine said in a video posted after the incident. “Yesterday they allowed me to leave for work. People I guess saw that I was on live stream with Jack Doherty. They took that opportunity to f###### do some p#### s###. It’s me. So I get it. The rules are different for me.”

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that four armed men broke into his Lake Worth residence Saturday through the garage, restrained his mother and searched the home for valuables.

Authorities said the suspects fled before deputies arrived, leaving no physical injuries but a deeply shaken victim. The incident is being investigated, with detectives reviewing neighborhood surveillance footage and speaking with potential witnesses.

“If it was f###### your favorite artist your favorite actor and that was done, they don’t get no cool points for that,” 6ix9ine fumed. “My mom is 60 years old. Y’all know I’m supposed to come home. Y’all know I’m home all the time. I’m on house arrest. So y’all take the opportunity that I’m not home. That’s p#### s###. That’s wack. Get no cool points for that. I don’t think nobody respects that s###.”

Law enforcement believes the suspects may have had prior knowledge of the home’s layout and the rapper’s schedule, suggesting the robbery may have been premeditated.

The fact that the incident occurred during daylight hours has raised further concerns about his security setup.

The 28-year-old rapper has been embroiled in several legal battles since cooperating with the government and testifying against members of the Nine Trey Gangsters in 2019, in exchange for a reduced sentence.

However, 6ix9ine has had frequent run-ins. He was assaulted by three men, including the leader of the West Palm Beach branch of the Latin Kings, at a gym in West Palm Beach, Florida.

He sued LA Fitness for $1 million, alleging negligence and failing to provide adequate security. He also said that staff didn’t follow proper protocols, including calling the police.

The rapper is also about to be sentenced to possible jail time over drug possession charges, failure to attend court-ordered treatment programs and assaulting a man who was taunting him at a mall.

As of Monday (November 17), no arrests had been made in connection with the home invasion. The sheriff’s office is asking anyone with information to come forward.

Megan Thee Stallion Trial Begins With Milagro Gramz Claiming She Thought Explicit Video Was Real

Megan Thee Stallion launched her defamation case in a Florida federal courtroom this week, accusing Milagro Gramz of spreading false claims, boosting a fake pornographic video and aligning with Tory Lanez to damage her reputation and career.

The trial opened with Milagro Gramz taking the stand as the first witness. Her first defense? She believed the explicit video she shared of Megan was authentic, according to Megan Cunifh, who is covering the trial.

That claim could carry legal consequences. Under Florida law, distributing sexually explicit content of a real person without their consent, commonly referred to as “revenge p###,” can trigger both civil and criminal penalties, especially if the content is not digitally altered.

Though Milagro’s defense hinges on her belief that the video was real, that admission may not protect her from liability.

John O’Sullivan played audio of the gunshots from the 2020 shooting involving Tory Lanez, then told jurors that Milagro saw the incident as “her shot at the spotlight.”

Milagro’s attorney, Jeremy McLymont, argued she simply called Megan a liar “because Megan lied.”

The defamation lawsuit, filed in October 2024, alleges that Milagro orchestrated a targeted social media campaign that disseminated falsehoods about the rapper’s testimony in the criminal trial against Lanez.

Megan’s legal team claims the harassment campaign cost her major business deals, including a brand partnership with Google, and forced her to step back from public engagements due to the emotional toll.

“These were career-amplifying opportunities that were available to Ms. Pete, but she could not capitalize on, as she was unable to be fully present in her career due to the ongoing campaign of harassment that persisted for years,” a memorandum submitted to the court stated.

The filings also allege that Lanez and his father, Sonstar Peterson, financially supported Milagro’s efforts to spread misinformation about the case, even after Tory Lanez’s conviction.

The court previously ruled that Milagro cannot claim journalistic protections under the First Amendment.

In livestreams, she admitted, “I did not tell anybody I was a reporter… I ain’t never told you I went to school for journalism… You don’t need to be a journalist to give an opinion.”

That admission, according to the judge, disqualified her from protections typically granted to working reporters. Megan’s legal team also secured sanctions against her for deleting evidence and failing to comply with discovery orders.

Milagro Gramz has denied all allegations and any coordination with Lanez.

The trial is expected to continue throughout the week and conclude on Wednesday, pending testimony from both parties and expert witnesses.

The jury will determine whether Gramz’s actions meet the legal standard for defamation and if Megan should be awarded damages.

Tory Lanez, who was convicted in 2022 of shooting Megan in the foot, is currently serving a 10-year sentence. His appeal was recently denied.

Pharrell Williams Calls Politics “A Magic Trick” While Accepting Miami’s Key At Black Ambition Event

Pharrell Williams dismissed American politics as a “magic trick that isn’t real” while accepting the key to Miami-Dade County during the Black Ambition Demo Day.

The 13-time Grammy winner made the blunt statement Friday night (November 14) at Sacred Space Miami, where he was honored by Mayor Daniella Levine Cava during the fifth annual Black Ambition Demo Day.

The event, hosted by his nonprofit, supports Black and Hispanic entrepreneurs with funding and mentorship.

“I hate politics,” Williams said during a fireside chat with Mellody Hobson, moderated by Black Ambition CEO Felecia Hatcher. “It’s a magic trick that is not real. I don’t believe in either side, because I think when you pick a side, you’re inadvertently supporting division.”

The remarks weren’t out of character for the Virginia Beach native, who has increasingly distanced himself from traditional political discourse.

In September 2024, he told The Hollywood Reporter he gets “annoyed” when celebrities endorse candidates, adding, “nobody asked you.”

At Friday’s gathering, Williams tied his political skepticism to his broader mission of empowering marginalized communities through economic opportunity.

“Now that diversity is off the table, now that equity is off the table, now inclusion is off the table…that makes me ask myself, so how do we survive?” Williams said. “If diversity, equity, and inclusion never come back in style, cool. But in the meantime, I’m going to focus on being the best because I can bank on that.”

The ceremony also celebrated Williams’ growing footprint in Miami, where he’s invested in nightlife ventures like Swan and Strawberry Moon, and expanded his philanthropic reach through Black Ambition, which launched in 2020.

“There’s so much brilliance out there that never gets seen,” he said of the nonprofit’s mission. “That’s why we built Black Ambition, to make sure talent doesn’t stop at potential.”

Lil Nas X Looks Dapper During Court Appearance For Nude Romp, Still In Rehab

Lil Nas X turned heads in Los Angeles on Monday (November 17) as he arrived at the Van Nuys courthouse looking poised and polished while dealing with serious felony charges tied to an August incident.

The 26-year-old Lil Nas X walked into court wearing a crisp white shirt under a brown leather jacket, tan dress pants, matching boots and tan-tinted sunglasses—an ensemble that signaled both strength and style amid legal uncertainty.

Though the hearing was brief, the judge delayed further proceedings until March 2026.

Outside the courtroom, attorney Drew Findling offered reassurance. Findling, who represents Lil Durk, emphasized the team’s focus on Lil Nas X’s well-being.

“You heard the ‘treatment’ word. We’re doing what is best for Montero from a personal standpoint and a professional standpoint, but most importantly, for his well-being,” he said.

The Grammy-winning rapper is facing four felony charges, including battery on a police officer and resisting an executive officer.

The charges stem from an early morning episode on August 21, when Los Angeles police responded to reports of a “nude man walking in the street.”

Officers reportedly found the artist in his underwear and cowboy boots. The situation intensified when Lil Nas X allegedly became aggressive with officers. He was later hospitalized for a suspected overdose.

He pleaded not guilty on August 25.

Shortly after his release, the “Old Town Road” star addressed his supporters directly in a video message posted August 26.

“You girl is going to be OK, y’all,” he said. “She’s going to be alright. She’s going to be alright. S***. That was f***ing terrifying. That was terrifying. That was a terrifying last four days, but your girl is going to be alright.”

His father, Robert Stafford, spoke to The Sunday Times about visiting his son behind bars.

“I went to visit him in jail and as soon as I walked through that door, I couldn’t do anything but cry,” Stafford said. “To see my baby boy on the other side of that glass. We shed tears with each other for a minute.”

Stafford flew from Atlanta to Los Angeles to offer support and perspective.

“What you’re going through is normal,” he told his son. “We all have breakdowns every now and then, but the difference is, yours get played out in the public eye.”

Stafford linked his son’s emotional struggles to the pressure of being the family’s financial provider and his inability to help his mother’s addiction issues.

“Hopefully, this is a turning point in his mental stability,” he said. “Sometimes God will take you through your worst moment to give you your best moment.”

If convicted on all charges, he could face up to five years in state prison. His next court date is set for March 2026.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Brother Breaks Silence On Viral “Bubba” Email Controversy

Jeffrey Epstein‘s brother, Mark Epstein, dismissed speculation tying Bill Clinton to a cryptic 2018 email uncovered in a trove of newly unsealed documents involving his late brother and Donald Trump, clarifying that a reference to “Bubba” was not aimed at the former president.

The clarification followed the House Oversight Committee’s release of over 26,000 pages from Jeffrey’s estate, including messages between the brothers.

One email from Mark asked Jeffrey to check with Steve Bannon if Russian President Vladimir Putin had “the photos of Trump blowing Bubba.”

That line ignited speculation online, with many assuming “Bubba” was a jab at Clinton, who’s often referred to by that nickname.

Mark, a 71-year-old real estate developer and artist, pushed back.

“They were simply part of a humorous private exchange between two brothers and were never meant for public release or to be interpreted as serious remarks,” Mark Epstein’s spokesperson, Ali Clark said in a statement to The Advocate.

He continued, “For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to ‘Bubba’ in this correspondence is not, in any way, a reference to former President Bill Clinton.”

He added, “Any attempt to conflate that reference with President Clinton, or to read sweeping implications into them, misrepresents both the purpose and the tone of the original correspondence.”

Clark said that “Bubba” was “a private individual who is not a public figure,” though Mark declined to name the person.

The email thread, dated 2018, shows Jeffrey replying with the Yiddish word “tsuris,” meaning trouble.

Mark responded with a movie joke: “You and your boy Donnie can make a remake of the movie Get Hard.”

The messages were part of a larger document dump that has renewed public interest in Trump’s ties to the late financier.

Other emails show Jeffrey calling Trump “dirty” and claiming the former president “knew about the girls.” In another message to Michael Wolff, Jeffrey offered to show him “photos of Donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen.”

Trump has since instructed Pam Bondi to investigate Jeffrey’s links to Clinton and other political figures, but reportedly excluded himself from the scope of the inquiry, according to NBC News.

The fallout has stirred political friction, contributing to Trump’s decision to pull support from Marjorie Taylor Greene ahead of her 2026 reelection bid after she supported full disclosure of the Epstein files.

EXCLUSIVE: Lil Durk Challenges Secret Conference Amid Push To Remove Judge & Prosecutors Over Threats

Lil Durk is pushing back against a federal judge’s plan to hold a closed-door conference about his demand to remove the entire bench and the prosecution team from his California murder-for-hire case, arguing the move violates his constitutional right to open proceedings.

Durk’s lawyers filed new objections after Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald scheduled a private status meeting for November 18 to discuss Durk’s sweeping motion seeking the disqualification of every Central District judge and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the district.

His team says any secret hearing conflicts with the Sixth Amendment’s guarantee of public proceedings.

The filing argues the judge cannot handle any part of the motion behind closed doors because the request challenges the neutrality of both the court and the prosecutors.

Durk’s attorneys say the judge’s decision to schedule a nonpublic meeting reinforces their position that the motion must be sent to an outside district.

“As Justice Brandeis observed, ‘sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants,’” the filing states.

Durk’s team says the public must hear arguments about the threats prosecutors concealed for seven months.

Those threats targeted Magistrate Judge Patricia Donahue and lead prosecutor Ian Yanniello, yet the government kept the defense in the dark while both continued working on the case.

The objection also argues that the judge cannot rule on any pending motions while the disqualification request is unresolved.

Durk’s lawyers say a judge facing recusal must pause all decisions until another court weighs in, citing federal rules and prior cases that bar a challenged judge from handling substantive matters.

His team says moving ahead with regular hearings would damage trust in the process, especially when they allege prosecutors hid death threats, held undisclosed conversations with court staff, and continued litigating issues before a judge who was the target of those threats.

Durk’s lawyers want all proceedings paused and the disqualification motion sent to a judge outside the district. They say that any private hearing about the issue raises the same concerns as the motion.

Durk is charged in a murder-for-hire plot targeting Savannah rapper Quando Rondo in retaliation for the November 2020 killing of King Von.

The attack killed Von associate Lul Pab and escalated a violent feud between the groups, which prosecutors say motivated Durk’s alleged involvement in the scheme.

Young Dolph’s Death Inspires A National Call To Give Back

Young Dolph will be remembered not only for his music but for his mission to uplift Memphis, as his family and foundation call on supporters nationwide to give back on November 17 in his name.

The Ida Mae Family Foundation announced the 2025 “Dolph Day of Service” to honor the late rapper’s legacy through acts of kindness and community support.

The date marks four years since Dolph, born Adolph Thornton Jr., was gunned down inside Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies in Memphis.

“On Monday, November 17, we’re asking everyone who loves and honors Dolph to pour back into their communities in his name,” the foundation said in a statement. “Buy a meal for someone. Support a small business. Donate coats, toys, or essentials. Volunteer with a local school, shelter, or youth program.”

“No act of service is too small when it’s done from the heart. Do it with love, do it for the city, do it for Dolph,” the foundation added.

The call for service comes after a years-long legal saga surrounding Young Dolph’s murder reached its conclusion, though not without lingering questions.

In September 2024, Justin Johnson, known in the rap world as Straight Drop, was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of murder, conspiracy to commit murder and illegal firearm possession.

Prosecutors alleged that Anthony “Big Jook” Mims, the brother of Yo Gotti, arranged a $100,000 contract to kill Dolph.

Deputy District Attorney Paul Hagerman claimed Big Jook lured Johnson with the promise of a CMG record deal, suggesting Dolph’s murder was a condition of the offer.

His co-defendant, Cornelius Smith, testified that both men were promised $40,000 each for the hit, but only received a fraction of that amount. Smith said he was paid just $800 before being arrested.

The case against alleged mastermind Hernandez Govan fell apart in August 2025 when a jury acquitted him, citing insufficient evidence to prove his role in the plot.

Another defendant, Jermarcus Johnson, took a plea deal and received a reduced sentence after cooperating with investigators.

The killing was the culmination of a long-running feud between Dolph’s Paper Route Empire and Yo Gotti’s CMG, which allegedly began in 2014 when Dolph publicly declined a CMG offer.

The rivalry escalated with diss tracks and multiple attempts on Dolph’s life, including a 2017 shooting in Charlotte, where over 100 rounds were fired at his bulletproof SUV. He survived and later released the album Bulletproof, featuring the track “100 Shots.”

Yo Gotti’s road manager, Howard “Keon” Wright, pleaded guilty to charges connected to that shooting in 2016 and was sentenced to 10 to 14 years in prison.

Later that year, Dolph was shot again outside a Los Angeles hotel. Corey McClendon, an associate of Yo Gotti, was arrested for attempted murder in that incident.

The final attack occurred on November 17, 2021, when two armed men approached Dolph inside the cookie shop he often visited while in Memphis. He was struck by 22 bullets across his head, neck, back, and arms.

Surveillance footage captured the assailants exiting a white Mercedes and opening fire. Smith and Johnson were both wounded when Dolph’s brother, Marcus Thornton, returned fire.

The suspects fled, ditched the car in Orange Mound, and changed clothes at a nearby apartment.

Big Jook, who prosecutors painted as the architect of the hit, was killed in a targeted shooting outside a Memphis restaurant on January 13, 2024.

No arrests have been made in that case, and authorities have not publicly tied his death to Dolph’s murder.

Though some justice has been served, the full extent of the conspiracy behind Dolph’s killing remains unclear. His family hopes the Dolph Day of Service will shift the focus from tragedy to impact.

Anthony Joshua Plans To “Break The Internet” With Jake Paul’s Face

Anthony Joshua will return to the ring in a headline-grabbing bout against Jake Paul on December 19 in Miami, marking the British heavyweight’s first fight since a knockout loss in September and Paul’s most ambitious matchup yet, streamed live on Netflix.

The streaming giant confirmed the event Monday, following weeks of speculation. Paul’s company, Most Valuable Promotions, announced the matchup after his planned November fight with Gervonta Davis was scrapped due to domestic violence allegations against Davis.

The fight will take place at an undisclosed venue in Miami and is expected to draw a massive global audience.

“This isn’t an AI simulation. This is Judgment Day,” Paul said in a statement. “A professional heavyweight fight against an elite world champion in his prime. When I beat Anthony Joshua, every doubt disappears, and no one can deny me the opportunity to fight for a world title. To all my haters, this is what you wanted. To the people of the United Kingdom, I am sorry. On Friday 19 December, under the lights in Miami, live globally only on Netflix, the torch gets passed and Britain’s Goliath gets put to sleep.”

Joshua, 36, hasn’t fought since being stopped by Daniel Dubois in September 2024. The former two-time unified heavyweight champion brings a wealth of experience and physical dominance to the ring, standing as the most accomplished and dangerous opponent Paul has faced.

“Jake or anyone can get this work. No mercy,” Joshua said. “I took some time out and I’m coming back with a mega show. It’s a big opportunity for me. Whether you like it or not, I’m here to do massive numbers, have big fights and break every record whilst keeping cool, calm and collected. Mark my words, you’ll see a lot more fighters take these opportunities in the future. I’m about to break the internet over Jake Paul’s face.”

Paul, 27, has built his boxing résumé by defeating retired MMA fighters and aging boxing icons. His most recent bout against Mike Tyson broke records on Netflix, peaking at 65 million concurrent viewers and drawing an estimated 108 million average global audience.

That fight accounted for more than half of all U.S. television viewing during its broadcast window. This time, Paul faces a legitimate heavyweight contender in Joshua, who is 23 years younger than Tyson and still active in the sport.

The matchup is seen as a significant leap in competition for the YouTuber-turned-boxer. Promoter Eddie Hearn, who represents Joshua, didn’t hold back when asked about Paul’s chances.

Both fighters are expected to secure eight-figure paydays, with industry analysts predicting tens of millions in revenue from the Netflix broadcast. The fight marks another significant investment in combat sports for the platform, which has leaned into live events following the success of the Tyson-Paul spectacle.

The heavyweight clash between Joshua and Paul is set for December 19 in Miami and will stream exclusively on Netflix.
