Donald Trump Vs. Marjorie Taylor Greene: Epstein Files Feud Explodes

Marjorie Taylor Greene ignited a political firestorm with Donald Trump after demanding full disclosure of Jeffrey Epstein’s federal records, a move that fractured their once-solid alliance and exposed deeper rifts within the Republican Party.

The Georgia congresswoman appeared Sunday (November 16) on CNN’s “State of the Union” and pointed directly to the Epstein case as the reason behind her deteriorating relationship with the former president. “I believe the country deserves transparency in these files, and I don’t believe that rich, powerful people should be protected if they have done anything wrong,” Greene told CNN’s Dana Bash.

Greene’s call for openness around the late financier’s classified documents has not only distanced her from Trump but also placed her at the center of a growing conservative split. “I have no idea what’s in the files. I can’t even guess,” she added. “But that is the question everyone is asking is why fight this so hard?”

Trump didn’t hold back. On Friday, he labeled Greene a “ranting lunatic” and publicly withdrew his support. By Saturday, he escalated further, calling her a “traitor” on Truth Social.

Greene, who once stood among Trump’s most loyal defenders, said the fallout has put her in real danger. “Those are the types of words that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger,” she said.

She revealed that multiple private security firms reached out after what she described as “a hot bed of threats.” She blamed the surge in threats on Trump’s rhetoric, referring to him as “the most powerful man in the world.”

The backlash didn’t stop with Trump. Far-right commentator Laura Loomer lashed out at Greene on social media, writing, “You’re a millionaire, b####. Go hire security if you’re so afraid of President Trump. You look pathetic accusing Trump of inciting violence against you. He never did such a thing. You are a compulsive liar and a fraud. Enjoy your new radical left friends. Full time victim.”

The House is set to vote Tuesday on legislation that would require the release of Epstein’s federal files. Some of the recently unsealed documents have already caused political discomfort, with references that appear to link Trump to Epstein’s network.

Pressed on her past silence during Trump’s attacks on others, Greene offered a rare admission. “I would like to say humbly, I’m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics,” she said. “It’s very bad for our country.”

Greene’s break from Trump marks a sharp turn in her political path. Once a fierce defender of the former president, she now stands apart, driven by her insistence on transparency in a case that continues to haunt American politics.

The House vote on the Epstein files is scheduled for Tuesday.

 

Stefon Diggs Sues Influencer Over “Fabricated” Sexual Assault Story

Stefon Diggs filed a defamation lawsuit in Maryland federal court against social media figure Christopher Blake Griffith after the influencer accused him of sexual assault and plotting a murder to cover it up.

The New England Patriots wide receiver took legal action on October 1, alleging Griffith fabricated a disturbing story about a night in May 2023 at Diggs’ Rockville home. According to court records obtained by TMZ Sports, Diggs says Griffith’s claims were not only false but crafted to gain attention online.

The lawsuit centers on a night Diggs hosted several influencers at his Maryland residence after a charity basketball game in Washington, D.C. The group went to a local nightclub before returning to Diggs’ home. The NFL star says he went to bed while his assistant asked Griffith to leave.

More than two years later, Griffith allegedly posted a series of accusations on social media during summer 2025. He claimed Diggs “drugged and sexually assaulted” him, then arranged a violent assault days later to “suppress his gay/bisexual secrets from becoming exposed.”

Diggs’ legal team says the accusations were “completely false” and intended to go viral. Griffith reportedly tagged the NFL, the Patriots and Uggs—one of Diggs’ sponsors—in his posts.

The lawsuit accuses Griffith of intentional defamation and seeks unspecified damages and attorney fees. Diggs, 31, has played for the Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills and is now with New England. His attorneys say the false claims threaten both his career and endorsement deals.

Griffith’s lawyer, Jake Lebowitz, responded publicly, saying, “Mr. Griffith is looking forward to showing the world in Court that regardless of the fairy tale fabricated by Mr. Diggs’ high-priced New York Lawyers, he is the victim of Mr. Diggs’ unwanted sexual advances and his brother’s violent attacks.”

The legal complaint was filed on October 1 in Maryland federal court.

Pusha T Responds To “Deadbeat Dad” Claims Following Baby Reveal

Pusha T ignited backlash over fatherhood and double standards after an Instagram post celebrating his second child with wife Virginia Williams drew sharp criticism online. The Clipse rapper’s message, intended as a tribute to his spouse, instead triggered accusations of parental neglect.

@babyginny thank you for my second baby boy…” he wrote. “i hope you carry on with tradition and never teach me how to change a diaper, prep a meal, suck out a snotty nose, or anything else a Supermom does. You make things very easy for me and I love and appreciate you for it all. See you spring 2026 my boy.”

View this post on Instagram

The post quickly stirred debate, with some accusing the Virginia native of bragging about avoiding basic childcare. Critics labeled him a “deadbeat dad,” calling out what they saw as a tone-deaf celebration of disengagement.

The controversy is especially pointed given Pusha’s own lyrical history. In his 2018 diss track “The Story of Adidon,” he famously accused Drake of being an absentee father, rapping “Deadbeat ass dad” in reference to the Canadian star’s then-secret son, Adonis.

Now, the tables have turned. The Grammy-nominated MC, known for his sharp critiques and no-nonsense persona, finds himself under the same microscope he once aimed at others.

Pusha T, born Terrence Thornton, married Virginia Williams in 2018. The couple welcomed their first child in 2020. Despite his public career, the rapper has largely kept his family life out of the spotlight.

While some defended his message as a lighthearted nod to his wife’s dedication, others saw it as a troubling admission. He replied on Twitter (X) by leaving a series of laughing emojis under a post addressing the “controversy.”

The couple is expecting their second son in spring 2026.

EXCLUSIVE: 6ix9ine Faces Probation Claim He Cannot Be Rehabilitated

6ix9ine is now facing a second push from federal prosecutors—this time over what should happen after he serves the prison term they are urging the judge to impose.

In a newly filed memo, the government asks Judge Paul A. Engelmayer to place 6ix9ine back on supervised release for a new multi-month term if he is sentenced to jail next week, directly rejecting a proposal from the probation office to cut ties with the rapper entirely.

Probation officials in Florida, who oversee 6ix9ine’s case, told the court they want to end his supervision after only three months of home incarceration.

In their filing, they stated that they have “have exhausted all efforts and resources to correct Mr. Hernandez’s behavior” and no longer believe that further monitoring will be effective in rehabilitating him.

Their proposal would place him on lockdown with electronic monitoring, then close his file for good. Prosecutors fired back, arguing that ending his supervision rewards a pattern of ignoring rules.

They warned the judge that allowing a defendant to “avoid the hassle” of court-ordered oversight by repeatedly breaking the rules would send the wrong message to 6ix9ine and anyone else on federal supervision.

“Termination of supervised release based on prior noncompliance sends the wrong message to this and similarly-situated defendants—that they can simply avoid the hassle (and rehabilitative benefits) of supervision by refusing to comply with their terms of release. Failure to comply with the terms of supervised release should be met with additional supervision, until the defendant can convincingly establish that he is a safe bet to avoid recidivating. That is not presently the case,” wrote U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton.

They also argued that the structure of supervision has prevented him from spiraling further, citing his recent completion of long-delayed community service as evidence that consequences still have an impact on him.

The government told the court 6ix9ine still needs strict monitoring, counseling and accountability, calling supervised release a necessary part of steering him toward consistent compliance.

“While supervised release has not yet gotten Hernandez to where he should be, it has prodded him in the right direction. A new term of supervised release is necessary to further guide Hernandez toward
rehabilitation until he establishes that can stand steadily on his own two feet,” Clayton said.

Their updated request comes one day after prosecutors urged the judge to give 6ix9ine three to nine months in prison for drug possession and a mall assault.

Judge Engelmayer will consider both filings at 6ix9ine’s sentencing on November 20, 2025.

NY Jets Star Kris Boyd Clinging To Life After Manhattan Shooting Rampage

Kris Boyd was critically injured early Sunday after being shot in the stomach during a confrontation outside a Manhattan restaurant, prompting an ongoing police investigation and silence from the New York Jets.

The 29-year-old cornerback was struck by gunfire around 2 a.m. outside Sei Less, a trendy eatery on West 38th Street near Seventh Avenue, according to the New York Post.

The altercation escalated quickly, with two shots fired before the suspects fled in a dark BMW X8.

Boyd, who is currently on injured reserve for the Jets, was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition. Emergency responders reported he drifted in and out of consciousness before being transported.

A spokesperson for the Jets issued a brief statement: “We are aware of the situation involving Kris Boyd and will have no further comment at this time.”

Witness cooperation has been limited, complicating efforts by the NYPD to identify the shooters.

Another luxury vehicle, a silver Mercedes-Benz Maybach, was also seen leaving the scene shortly after the incident. Crime scene photos later showed a Rhino GX armored SUV parked outside the restaurant—a vehicle that can cost up to $300,000.

Boyd, a 5-foot-11 defensive back, joined the Jets this season after previous stints with the Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals and Houston Texans.

The Jets were off Sunday after losing to the New England Patriots on Thursday night. As of Monday morning, no arrests had been made and the investigation remains active.


Lil Tjay Performs At Applebee’s, Twitter Erupts Over Unconventional Venue Choice

Lil Tjay delivered an unexpected live set inside an Applebee’s restaurant, and the internet had plenty to say about it—ranging from admiration to confusion.

A clip of the Bronx rapper performing for a small crowd in the middle of the casual dining chain quickly made the rounds on social media, with users on X weighing in on the unconventional location.

The performance marks another public step in his recovery after surviving a near-fatal shooting in 2022.

The viral video shows the “Calling My Phone” artist rapping to a modest audience seated among booths and barstools, a far cry from the arenas and festival stages he once graced. Still, many saw the moment as a testament to his resilience.

“Respect to Lil Tjay for still getting out there and performing, but Applebee’s though?” one user posted, summing up the mixed reaction online.

Others were more supportive, pointing to his survival story as reason enough to applaud the effort. “Y’all clowning Lil Tjay for performing at Applebee’s but forget this man survived 7 shots and is blessed to even be here,” another user wrote.

The rapper’s journey back to the spotlight has been anything but ordinary. In June 2022, Lil Tjay was shot seven times during an attempted robbery in Edgewater, New Jersey.

The attack left him in critical condition and required emergency surgery. Authorities later identified 27-year-old Mohamed Konate as the suspect in the shooting.

“Seven shots, it was tough, y’know? Most people don’t survive it, but I’m here. Here for a reason,” Lil Tjay said in his first post following the incident, appearing in a neck brace as he addressed his supporters.

The shooting forced a long pause in his career, just as he was gaining momentum with tracks like “Resume” and collaborations with other prominent Hip-Hop artists.

During his recovery, he continued to create music, even recording from his hospital bed using a makeshift studio setup.

While the Applebee’s performance may have raised eyebrows, it also signaled his ongoing determination to reconnect with audiences in any space available.

Whether it’s a sold-out venue or a neighborhood chain restaurant, Lil Tjay seems focused on reclaiming his place in Hip-Hop.

EXCLUSIVE: NBC Moves To Squash Diddy’s $100M Lawsuit—Points To His Own Words In Court

Diddy is being slammed by NBC, which says he admitted he wrecked his own name long before their Peacock documentary, The Making of a Bad Boy, came out.

The network wants his $100 million lawsuit tossed and says his downfall is his own doing.

NBC’s new filing says the film didn’t ruin him. They say his guilty verdict, a long list of lawsuits and his own words in court explain everything. Lawyers for the network highlighted what he told the judge at sentencing.

He said, “Because of my decisions, I lost my freedom. I lost my career. I totally destroyed my reputation.” NBC argues that the line alone shows he can’t blame a documentary for the damage.

Diddy sued NBCUniversal, Peacock and the producers earlier this year.

He claims The Making of a Bad Boy paints him as a predator and ties him to the deaths of Kim Porter, The Notorious B.I.G. and Heavy D. Diddy says it leans into rumors to make him look like a monster and even compares him to Lucifer, aka the Devil himself.

The rap mogul claims NBC released a rushed, sloppy documentary and he presented his alleged proof: a quote from Ample Entertainment co-founder Ari Mark, who told The Hollywood Reporter, “It’s really competitive and I think that is why it wasn’t enough to be fast, it was also necessary to be distinct. There’s no time and this was an extremely fast turnaround.”

NBC says the documentary pulls from public records, long-reported claims and interviews that were already part of national news.

His own case made those stories hit harder. A federal jury found him guilty of trafficking people across state lines for prostitution under the Mann Act.

The case involved accusations from Cassie Ventura, a woman called “Jane” and several male sex workers. The disgraced mogul received a 50-month sentence, a substantial fine, and strict rules upon his release.

Diddy spent more than a year at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn before being recently transferred to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey. That is where he is serving his time today.

Current records indicate that he is incarcerated until 2028. Prison hasn’t been peaceful either.

Reports Diddy broke phone rules right after arriving and was allegedly caught with homemade alcohol, though his team pushed back on that part. He still got punished.

Diddy’s release date was pushed almost a whole month for violating prison rules.

NBC says all of this proves one point. Diddy did the damage himself, not The Making of a Bad Boy.

Newark Shooting Leaves Two Dead—Including 10-Year-Old Child

Newark police swarmed Chancellor Avenue Saturday night (November 15) after a burst of gunfire left a 10-year-old boy and a 21-year-old woman dead and three others wounded in a violent outburst that rattled the New Jersey city.

According to Fox 5 New York, the shooting unfolded just after 7 p.m. local time at the intersection of Chancellor Avenue and Leslie Street, according to the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office. First responders arrived to find five people suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite emergency efforts, the boy and woman were pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

Three other victims—an 11-year-old boy, a 19-year-old man and a 60-year-old man—were hospitalized but are expected to survive, authorities said.

The aftermath was captured on the Citizen app, showing a heavy police presence as officers secured the scene and began combing for evidence. As of Sunday (November 16), no arrests had been announced and investigators have not released any details about possible suspects or motives.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy addressed the tragedy on social media, writing, “Please keep the victims and their families in your prayers tonight.”

The identities of the deceased have not been released pending notification of next of kin.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office has launched a full-scale investigation into the shooting. A $10,000 reward is being offered through the Essex County Crime Stoppers program for tips that lead to an arrest. Anyone with information is urged to call 877-TIPS-4-EC.

Newark has made strides in reducing crime under Mayor Ras Baraka, but this latest act of violence has reignited concerns about gun-related incidents in the city. Community-based programs have been credited with lowering violent crime in recent years, making Saturday’s events even more painful for residents.

The shooting took place on November 15 around 7 p.m., according to the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office.

SZA Reveals Why She Never Questions Kendrick Lamar

SZA praised Kendrick Lamar and their long-running creative chemistry while reflecting on their recent tour and multiple collaborations in a new GQ interview.

The “Kill Bill” singer, speaking in GQ’s Man of the Year issue, described Lamar as a disciplined and deeply intentional artist whose process she admires.

“He’s such a professional human,” she said. “The way he approaches everything is so methodical but fluid. It’s beautiful. I definitely have just tried to observe. And you know, he’s so mature. I love working with him.”

Their artistic partnership dates back to 2014, when they first teamed up on SZA’s Z EP.

Since then, they’ve shared the stage on a stadium tour in 2023 and collaborated on several tracks, including the Grammy-nominated “All the Stars” from the Black Panther soundtrack.

SZA explained that when it comes to working with Lamar, she fully trusts his direction.

“I don’t ask any questions. I just do it,” SZA said. “And I love that as freedom too. It’s like, removing choice creates freedom.”

She laughed while acknowledging how that line might be interpreted.

“I know that sounds so crazy to say in a time like this. I’m sure that’ll be the headline: ‘Removing Choice Creates Freedom. SZA Loves Fascism.’”

Their most recent collaborations include “Gloria” and “Luther” from Lamar’s latest album GNX, along with “30 for 30” from SZA’s 2024 project Lana.

The pair’s creative relationship continues to evolve, nearly a decade after their first track together was released in 2014.

‘I put in an appeal’: Woman gets text from Hyundai. They accuse her of ‘neglecting’ her car

A woman who’s having issues with her Hyundai got a notice from her local dealership that she was “neglecting” her car despite putting in regular service. Confused, she tried to appeal only to get denied. 

Frustrated, she decided to put her experience out on TikTok and see if any mechanics or automotive experts can help her figure out what to do about her car. 

“I  put in for an appeal and I am here praying that Hyundai or God gives me a miracle and pushes this through,” Donna (@phoneafriend13) said in a video that’s garnered over 25,000 views since Oct. 24. 

Woman Explains Text She Received from Hyundai

Donna was having issues with her 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. The car wouldn’t stop sputtering, even when she would drive 10 or 20 miles an hour on the road. She had to drive with her hazards on, because the car would make a “ticking” noise as she went down the road. 

One day, her son and a friend borrowed her car to stop at McDonald’s. About 30 minutes after leaving, they called her to let her know the car stopped entirely at a red light.

“ The car would not move. They said the steering locked up, but all the lights stayed on on the dash,” she said. “They also said it was smelling pretty bad.” 

Another person came by and helped them put oil in the car and move it to a different location. They left the car parked overnight until Donna could assess the situation. 

“I got to wake up today and this is my present,” Donna said. She drove the car home, but expressed worry that the engine would blow up “at any time.”

Hyundai Denied Woman’s Claim Due to ‘Neglect’

Toward the end of her first video, Donna revealed the car’s battery fully died. She was unable to move the wheel nor start the car. “The car’s gone,” she said in a follow-up.

Considering the fact that Hyundai cars usually come with an extended warranty, Donna made a claim with the company. But Hyundai quickly denied her request for service, accusing her of neglecting her vehicle. 

She provided the company evidence that she had gotten her Hyundai routinely serviced, but it was of little use. Now, she’s hoping that further appeals could help her get her car fixed under warranty.

Viewers Sound Off on Hyundai Vehicles

Many commenters expressed their distaste for Hyundai, one of the most popular car manufacturers in the United States.

“Sorry, but it’s a Hyundai. Common problems reported for the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe include issues with the engine (crankshaft position sensor failure, excessive oil consumption, and recalls for engine components), transmission problems (hesitation, shuddering, and potential failure),” said one commenter. 

Despite the fact that some models are generally reliable, many mechanics consider Hyundai’s a money-waster. The cars are a “mechanic no-no,” that show up in “never buy” lists because they routinely fail or sputter on the road. 

Despite Hyundai’s own claims that its cars have “smart design, affordability, and innovation,” the company’s cars are also known for poor paint quality, routine dual clutch transmission issues (DCT), and overall weak resale value. 

All Hip Hop has reached out to Hyundai and Donna for comment. We’ll let you know if either party responds.

Boosie Badazz Sentencing Delayed While Pleading For Donald Trump’s Help

Boosie Badazz secured a delay in his federal gun possession sentencing, pushing the court date from November 21 to January 9 as he continues efforts to avoid prison time and pursues a presidential pardon from Donald Trump.

The Baton Rouge rapper, whose real name is Torrence Hatch Jr., appeared on The Breakfast Club the same day the court granted his request.

He remained defiant and upbeat despite federal prosecutors recommending a two-year sentence.

“I’m confident like a muthafucka,” Boosie told the hosts. “I ain’t going to jail. I don’t speak that out my mouth. I’m from down South. Your word, your mouth, is a powerful source.”

While he acknowledged the final decision rests with the court, Boosie insisted he’s mentally prepared for whatever comes.

“It’s still up to the judge,” he said. “It’s up to God, but it’s up to the judge. You know, people saying, ‘He gotta do two years.’ That’s not a fact of this case. It’s up to the judge what the judge wanna do. I’m confident, man. I’m chin up, chest high.”

The 42-year-old artist also reflected on past legal battles, noting a shift in how he feels treated by the justice system this time around.

“I don’t have a judge that hates me this time,” he said. “I’ve always had judges that crucified me.”

Boosie’s current legal trouble stems from a June 2023 arrest in San Diego, where police found a firearm in his possession. Because he is a convicted felon, the charge falls under federal jurisdiction.

Though state charges were dismissed in 2024, federal prosecutors refiled the case.

In August 2025, Boosie accepted a plea deal that dropped a second firearm charge in exchange for a guilty plea. The agreement may reduce his sentencing exposure under federal guidelines.

Meanwhile, Boosie has taken an unusual step by hiring Washington D.C. lobbying firm J.M. Burkman & Associates to petition Trump for a pardon.

According to the firm’s Jack Burkman and Jacob Whol, their mission is “seeking a presidential pardon” for the rapper, whom they described as a “rapper and world-class musician.”

The lobbying move followed Boosie’s direct appeal to Trump on social media.

“Trump CHECK MY CASE OUT MY CASE WAS DISMISSED BUT BIDENS DOJ RECHARGED ME WITH THE SAME GUN CHARGE BIDEN PARDON HIS SON OF .I WAS TOLD I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN THE COUNTRY FACING THAT CHARGE NOW,” he wrote.

Boosie also emphasized his identity and roots in his plea: “N TRUMP IM BOOSIE IM A RAPPER/ FILMMAKER FROM BATON ROUGE I WAS TARGETED.. MY MOUTH N THINGS I STAND ON GET ME N ALOT S### BUT IM REAL! My lawyer MEGHAN BLANCO can explain this case,” he added. “She knew the charges n against you were bad she even spoke about it on radio.”

The new sentencing date of January 9 gives his legal team more time to prepare arguments and possibly advance the pardon request before the court rules.

Kim Kardashian Pushes Skims To $5 Billion Valuation In New Funding Round

Kim Kardashian locked in a $5 billion valuation for her shapewear brand Skims after closing a $225 million investment round led by Goldman Sachs, setting the stage for a major global retail expansion.

The deal, finalized on November 12, 2025, marks one of the largest consumer brand funding rounds of the year and pushes Kardashian’s personal net worth to an estimated $1.9 billion, according to Forbes.

The fresh capital will support Skims’ plans to scale its physical retail operations and strengthen its international footprint.

“We can’t wait to take Skims to the next level as we continue to innovate and set the standard for our industry,” Kim Kardashian said in a statement.

Skims, co-founded by Kardashian and CEO Jens Grede, has evolved from a direct-to-consumer shapewear startup into a full-fledged lifestyle label offering loungewear, activewear and fashion basics.

The company currently operates 18 stores across the U.S. and partners with major global retailers.

View this post on Instagram

Grede said the company’s projected revenue for 2025 is expected to top $1 billion, calling the milestone a reflection of the brand’s long-term strategy and execution.

Initially launched in 2019 under the name “Kimono Intimates,” the brand rebranded as Skims after facing public backlash over concerns of cultural appropriation.

Since then, it has gained traction through celebrity endorsements from Megan Fox and Paris Hilton, as well as the Kardashian family’s massive online reach.

The company plans to focus “predominantly” on brick-and-mortar growth in the coming years, aiming to compete with legacy athleisure brands like Lululemon and Alo Yoga in a crowded wellness and fashion market.

Industry analysts say Skims’ rise mirrors a shift in consumer demand for inclusive sizing and body-positive apparel, an area where traditional athletic brands have often lagged.

The latest funding round positions Skims to expand its market share while continuing to redefine the shapewear and athleisure space.

‘I don’t do that anymore’: Texas woman tells Tinder date where she works. A year after ghosting him, ‘Matt’ re-enters the picture

A woman got a surprise visit at her workplace from a Tinder match a full year after she matched with him. How did he find her? She had casually mentioned her occupation and he dropped by, despite living in an entirely different town. 

In a video with over 20,000 views, TikTok user @k.i.l.a.97 explained how a match she had only chatted with for a few hours showed up at the barber shop she worked at unexpectedly. 

“ There are so many other places you could get a haircut and you chose this one, the one where you know that I work at and that I ghosted you twice,” she said, clearly creeped out with the situation.

Texas Woman Accidentally Texts Ghosted Tinder Match

It started when @k.i.l.a.97 matched with “Matt,” who provided his full name and contact information when they first started talking. They chatted for a few hours around a year ago before @k.i.l.a.97 disengaged, ghosting him due to a lack of interest.

She accidentally reached out to Matt a year later while trying to contact her cousin with the same name. Her former Tinder match quickly reached out again, but she ghosted him out of a lack of interest. “ He’s like, ‘Yeah, we matched on Tinder a while ago,’” she said. “Then he said his full name and I was like, ‘Oh. OK.’ So then I just didn’t answer again.”

It got worse though. She asked her aunt for her cousin’s phone number and tried to text him again, only to text Tinder Matt once more because it merged his contact with her cousin due to Apple’s contact card system. 

“ I went and I texted [my cousin’s] number,” she said, “and I was like, ‘Hey, so funny. I just went to text you and I actually texted this guy that I ghosted from Tinder and he texted back,’ and he was like, ‘Yeah, this is still him.’”

Mortified, @k.i.l.a.97 described the situation as “awkward as [expletive].” She had to fully delete Tinder Matt’s phone number to get in contact with her cousin without the contacts merging. 

Tinder Match Finds Woman at Work

While working at a barbershop in Texas, her old Tinder match appeared. His name appeared on the booking for another one of the girls working that day, something that @k.i.l.a.97 picked up on immediately.

Sure enough, when he walked through the door, she realized that he showed up at her workplace, a minor detail she had mentioned during her short conversation with him a full year prior. 

“Oh my God, that’s him,” she said when she saw him. To her, it felt like he was deliberately showing up, as he lived a full town over. “It was not a good time. I [expletive] hid in the back room, like the whole time he was there,” she said. “He ended up being like her regular client would keep coming in.”

How Apple’s Contact Merging Service Works

Apple may accidentally merge contacts when users use the “merge all,” function in the contacts app.

When someone merges contacts on their iPhone, Apple’s contact list cannot differentiate between one “Matt” and another. That’s why it assumes that one “Matt” contact might be the same person as another “Matt” and merges them together. 

For those curious, you can unmerge contacts if it’s not your cup of tea. You’ll have to manually unlink the accounts rather than “unlinking” them all, but it’s relatively straightforward, only requiring a press of a button. 

All Hip Hop reached out to @k.i.l.a.97 via TikTok for comment. We’ll let you know if she responds.

Babyface Announces New Documentary Exploring His Legendary R&B Career

Babyface will peel back the curtain on decades of chart-topping collaborations and emotional turmoil in a new documentary directed by Chris Moukarbel and produced by Kenya Barris.

The untitled film, backed by HarbourView Equity Partners, will trace the Babyface journey from a quiet kid in Indianapolis to one of the most influential forces in R&B.

The 13x-Grammy winner will appear in exclusive interviews and share never-before-seen footage from his personal archives.

“Finally telling the story of my life,” Babyface said on Instagram. “And I’m honored to do it with the best.”

The documentary will spotlight his work with a who’s who of music legends, including Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Lil Wayne, Beyoncé, Madonna, Toni Braxton, Bobby Brown, Eric Clapton, Mary J. Blige, Boyz II Men and SZA.

In a statement, Babyface reflected on the emotional excavation the project has required.

“I’ve often wondered how an unassuming kid from Indianapolis got to where he is today, working with artists and achieving dreams I could’ve never imagined when I first started,” he said. “This documentary is giving me a chance to go down memory lane with a fine-tooth comb, reexamining the highs and lows of my life and career. I’m discovering where all the songs really came from — and perhaps just as important, the how and why.”

The film will also include behind-the-scenes footage from Babyface’s upcoming Las Vegas residency at the Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort, where he’s scheduled for four weekend shows in 2026.

O.J. Simpson Finally Pays Off Ron Goldman’s Family – In Death

O.J. Simpson and a decades-long civil judgment collided once more as his estate agreed to pay Fred Goldman nearly $58 million, resolving a financial pursuit that began after the 1994 killings of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson.

Executor Malcolm LaVergne signed off on Goldman’s creditor claim for $57,997,858.12 plus interest, according to TMZ. That amount is about half of the $117 million Goldman initially requested, a figure inflated by nearly 30 years of interest on the original civil judgment.

The debt stems from a 1997 civil trial where a jury unanimously found Simpson liable for the wrongful deaths of his ex-wife and her friend Ron Goldman.

The court awarded $8.5 million in compensatory damages to the Goldman family and another $25 million in punitive damages to be split between the Goldman and Brown families. That $33.5 million ballooned over time due to unpaid interest.

LaVergne told TMZ the estate plans to pay “as much of the approved amount as possible through ongoing auctions of Simpson’s possessions.” He added that some memorabilia had been stolen and said he’s working with attorneys to retrieve those items.

Simpson spent years legally shielding his assets. His NFL pension remained largely untouchable, and he moved to Florida, where homestead laws offered additional financial protection. Despite these efforts, Simpson paid only a small portion of the judgment while alive.

Even after his 2008 conviction for armed robbery and kidnapping in a Las Vegas hotel room—an incident involving sports memorabilia—Simpson’s financial obligations loomed. He was sentenced to up to 33 years, a number eerily close to the $33 million civil judgment. He served nine years before being paroled in 2017.

Simpson died in April 2024 at age 76 following a battle with cancer. LaVergne, who once said he “would never pay the Goldman family” and wanted them “to get zero, nothing from estate,” reversed course and accepted the claim.

The estate has denied most other creditor claims, except for Goldman’s and a separate demand from the Internal Revenue Service. LaVergne said the IRS will be paid first to satisfy federal tax obligations before any other debts, including a $636,945 claim from California.

Fred Goldman’s pursuit of accountability began after the June 1994 murders outside Nicole Brown Simpson’s Brentwood home. Ron Goldman, 25, was working as a waiter and had gone to return a pair of glasses when he was killed. Simpson was acquitted of criminal charges in 1995, but the civil trial held him responsible under a lower burden of proof.

All 12 jurors in the civil case voted against Simpson on the first ballot after just three days of deliberations.

LaVergne said he plans to ask the court to award Goldman administrative fees for helping manage the estate. He reiterated that auctions of Simpson’s belongings will continue to fund the settlement, though the estate’s full value is still unknown.

Simpson’s estate formally accepted the claim in April 2024.

‘These girls are unhinged’: NYC man talks to woman at the bar for 5 minutes. Then she picks up his phone and opens Paypal

A chiropractor in New York City described a recent uncomfortable situation while having a night out. Specifically, a girl he was chatting to for only five minutes opened up his phone and tried to Paypal herself. 

“ The New York City dating scene is absolutely cooked,” said TikTok user Dr. Johnny (@drjohnny_), a popular content creator and chiropractor in a video that’s garnered more than 28,000 views. “These girls are unhinged.”

In the video, Dr. Johnny revealed that he met a woman when he was out at a bar having drinks. After speaking to her for a few minutes, he learned that she was training for the New York City Marathon. He mentioned that he’s a chiropractor and he works with a lot of athletes.

“She says, ‘Great, let me see your Instagram,'” he said. “I catch her trying to send herself a $200 donation from my Papal account to her marathon fund.”

Is the Modern Dating Scene Too Financially Motivated?

A survey done of Australians this year found that a fifth of those asked about their dating criteria cited “financial reasons.” The data suggests that financial security is becoming a driving force in the modern dating world.

In particular, younger generations indicated a higher level of preoccupation with financial circumstances in dating partners. The survey found 32% of Gen-Z respondents said they’ve dated or would date for financial security. 

Another survey found 42% of singles rate finances as a top priority when choosing a partner.

Are Dating Scams Becoming More Common?

Romance scams are becoming bolder and more sophisticated. That’s because of organized crime involvement and the prevalence of AI. Millions of people fall victim to these scams every year at a cost of more than $500 billion.

So, if a Tinder match (or even just the person at the bar you’ve been chatting with for five minutes) asks for money, daters should beware.

“If an online love interest asks you for money, that’s a scam. Period. Don’t send a reload, prepaid, or gift card; don’t wire money; and don’t send cryptocurrency to someone you met online,” said Ari Lazarus, a consumer education specialist writing for the Federal Trade Commission.  

We’ve reached out to Dr. Johnny for comment via TikTok direct message. We’ll let you know if he responds.

Kim Kardashian Stuns In Pink Sheer Dress At Christ The Redeemer

Kim Kardashian turned heads and camera lenses Friday in Rio de Janeiro when she posed beneath the towering Christ the Redeemer statue wearing a sheer hot pink dress that blurred the line between reverence and runway.

The reality mogul and SKIMS founder shared the striking moment with her 354 million Instagram followers, letting the vivid visuals and a pink heart emoji do the talking.

The 44-year-old entrepreneur chose a daring, body-hugging gown with a plunging neckline for the visit, pairing the look with a sculpted updo and soft-glam makeup.

Purple lighting cast dramatic shadows across the religious landmark, highlighting both the statue and Kardashian’s silhouette in equal measure.

Her post included a photo from a 2013 trip to the same site, where she also wore pink, drawing a fashion parallel more than a decade apart.

The callback wasn’t lost on her followers, who flooded the comments with praise. The post racked up over 9,000 comments within hours.

This high-profile moment capped off Kardashian’s extended stay in Brazil, where she has been promoting her upcoming projects.

Earlier in the week, she appeared at the “All’s Fair” premiere in São Paulo wearing a custom Connor Ives gown made from 100-year-old Edwardian fans, a nod to sustainable luxury.

The timing of her South American tour follows a personal and professional hurdle—her most recent failure to pass the California bar exam. According to industry insiders, the trip served dual purposes: promoting business and providing a personal reset after the setback.

Kardashian’s wardrobe throughout the trip has drawn consistent media attention, with paparazzi capturing each look. Her Christ the Redeemer appearance, however, stood out as the most visually arresting of the tour.

Young Thug Seeks Spiritual Counsel From Rabbi Pinto Following Jail Release

Young Thug sought clarity and counsel in Manhattan, where the Atlanta rapper met with Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto following his release from custody tied to the YSL RICO case.

The Hip-Hop artist visited Rabbi Pinto’s private residence just weeks after being engulfed in drama, claiming he snitched and cooperated in the YSL saga that ended with Young Thug taking a plea deal to secure his freedom in the high-profile racketeering case.

The session focused on the rapper’s personal struggles and his hopes for a stable return to music while navigating strict probation terms.

Photos and videos of the meeting were shared on Rabbi Pinto’s official social media, showing the two in conversation. The rabbi’s post described the encounter as a moment of “guidance to the international rapper.”

Young Thug’s legal resolution included a 40-year sentence, with the first five years credited as time served, followed by 15 years of probation, with a potential 20-year sentence if his probation is violated.

The agreement also came with tight restrictions.

He is barred from entering the Atlanta metro area for the next decade, unless for court or family emergencies and must avoid any contact with co-defendants or known gang affiliates.

The plea deal also mandates community service and educational outreach on gang prevention. These terms were part of what allowed the Grammy-winning performer to avoid a much longer prison stint.

The YSL RICO case, which accused Young Thug’s YSL Records of functioning as a criminal enterprise, has seen multiple co-defendants accept plea deals, including Gunna, who was accused of ratting out his co-defendants.

Young Thug’s visit to Rabbi Pinto mirrors a similar move by Kanye West, who also sought the rabbi’s guidance during a public low point.

“I was dealing with some various issues, bipolar, also, so it would take the ideas I had and had them, take them to an extreme where I would forget about the protection of the people around me and myself,” West explained to Rabbi Pinto. “Some people aren’t that knowledgeable about what causes it and the way you act when you have the disease.”

The rabbi has become a sought-after spiritual advisor for celebrities, particularly those in the entertainment industry who are navigating personal or professional upheaval.

NBA YoungBoy Unleashes On NLE Choppa With “Zero IQ”

NBA YoungBoy wasted no time responding to NLE Choppa‘s recent attack, dropping his own diss track “Zero IQ” that takes direct aim at the Memphis rapper’s intelligence and credibility in the Hip-Hop game.

YoungBoy’s “Zero IQ” title appears to be a direct shot at Choppa’s intellectual capacity, suggesting the Memphis rapper lacks the mental acuity to engage in this level of Hip-Hop warfare.

“My career been jumpin’ up out of the gym and I’m ridin’ ’round with a M, ho/I’ll kill your ass, I’ll flash, you ain’t gon’ play with me like them, no

I done gave my n##### bags,” NBA Youngboy raps.

The Baton Rouge native’s response comes just weeks after NLE Choppa, who now goes by NLE The Great, released his scathing “KO” track on October 30.

Choppa’s initial assault borrowed heavily from 2Pac’s legendary “Hit Em Up,” using the same Dennis Edwards sample while delivering pointed accusations about YoungBoy’s influence on young fans.

In “KO,” Choppa positioned himself as a spiritual corrective force, claiming YoungBoy “poison[s] the youth” and serves as a negative role model.

The track featured aggressive bars like “YoungBoy, what? This the big boy league/ I put one up in your gut under the Jesus piece/ Last thing that I heard was ‘Jesus, please’/ Had me looking at the devil like ‘This is your king.'”

Choppa’s motivation for the diss stemmed from what he described as a divine vision.

In a recent Rolling Stone interview, the rapper explained he was “awakened out of my sleep with a vivid dream” involving “holding a young boy’s head in my hand.”

He interpreted this as a calling from a higher power to hold YoungBoy accountable for his perceived negative influence.

NBA YoungBoy Celebrates Record-Setting MASA Tour

NBA YoungBoy brought his record-setting MASA Tour to a close in Seattle after selling out 45 straight venues across the country, making him the first artist from Baton Rouge to accomplish that feat.

The 25-year-old rapper wrapped up his first headlining tour in five years with a packed show at Climate Pledge Arena, cementing what industry analysts rank as one of the highest-grossing rap tours in U.S. history.

The “Make America Slime Again” tour launched September 1 in Dallas and quickly gained momentum, drawing massive crowds in every city.

The tour’s opening night made headlines when NBA YoungBoy donated $50,000 to Dallas-based nonprofits focused on anti-violence and criminal justice reform. That early gesture set the tone for a tour that would later become a benchmark moment in his career.

In October, he returned to Louisiana for the first time in seven years with a sold-out performance at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. After the show, crowds flooded the French Quarter, creating one of the tour’s most talked-about moments.

The MASA Tour’s 42-for-42 sellout streak is a rare accomplishment in today’s touring landscape, especially for an artist navigating ongoing legal issues.

The tour’s success reflects YoungBoy’s consistent output and loyal following, which he built through raw storytelling and a relentless release schedule.

Despite not touring for half a decade, YoungBoy’s draw remained strong and his ability to connect with listeners was a key factor behind the tour’s overwhelming turnout.

The Seattle finale marked the end of an 11-week run that not only broke records but also raised the bar for Louisiana artists in Hip-Hop.
