Hmmmm did close friends Monica and Ciara fall out over Future? Monica has been posting pictures of her wedding on Instagram in celebration of her anniversary. Fans quickly realized that in one photo she didn’t tag Ciara, but she tagged many others. A fan decided to take the time and explain “in her own words” what really went down between Cici and Mo! The fan claims that Monica knew Future was cheating on Ciara while she was pregnant with one of his baby mamas who happens to also be a friend or associate of Monica. Monica didn’t completely deny the fan’s claims but she did say she made a lot of assumptions. Monica says she refuses to make a spectacle of the many years her and Ciara shared. So we want to know what really happened. Mo has since deleted the comment and response, but Baller Alert caught it!

According to WIAT, Hall created a fake Facebook page pretending to be Hip Hop performer Issa Thompson. Hall allegedly tricked women into thinking they were conversing with Thompson and then set up meetings with the unsuspecting fans.
Tuscaloosa, Alabama police believe Hall lured the women to a local park where he sexually assaulted and robbed the victims. After cops noticed a pattern, a special detail was established to identify and arrest the suspect. Homicide investigators reportedly prevented another possible attack on Wednesday morning.
Hall was arrested yesterday (July 8) and charged with rape, two counts of sodomy, and robbery. A $200,000 bond was set in the case.

It seems like one of Nicki Minaj’s biggest fans over the years, Patrick (@pmbenson33), started a rumor that Nicki Minaj would be pregnant soon. He said he was going on 12 tour dates because the rapper would soon be a mommy. We aren’t sure if he was suggesting that he would try to impregnate Nicki, or if Meek Mill already had. Either way, Nicki was quick to shut it down by saying she wouldn’t be having any kids until she was married. It’s good she didn’t get pregnant by Safaree, and that she’s taking it slow with Meek and doing it the “right” way.

The FBI Is Looking Into How Tyga’s Nude Photos Were Leaked
Tyga has enlisted the help of the FBI to help figure out who leaked a nude photo of him to the internet, TMZ reports.
