Flavor Flav was hanging out backstage at the 92nd annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Rockefeller Center when he was asked to leave. 

On Wednesday evening (December 4), the Public Enemy co-founder was enjoying the festivities that officially kicks off the holiday season in the city. However, it all went downhill after he went to hang out with Backstreet Boys.  

Flav took to X (Twitter) to explain what happened.  

“I feel weird,” he began. “I was invited to the Rockefeller Tree Lighting tonite and I was escorted to see my boys,,, THE BACKSTREET BOYS,,, and we were backstage in their dressing room,,, security came up to me and says @nbc does not want me in this area and I need to leave.” 

He continued, “At the same time,,, their social media woman came up and asked to capture social content. What did I ever do to NBC or anyone,,?? all I ever do is try to spread joy and love,,, and I think I did that for NBC at the Olympics.” 

X/Flavor Flav

Angry Fans Defend Flavor Flav

Many on social media agreed and voiced their support of Flavor Flav while calling out NBC.  

“Shame on @nbc for their shoddy treatment of Flavor Flav,” wrote one fan. “He’s out there spreading joy and kindness and your organization doesn’t want that? I’m sure you were happy with the attention/ money he garnered for you during the Olympics. @FlavorFlav deserves respect and kindness.” 

Another added, “This is some b#######. All that Flavor Flav did for NBC during The Olympics and put his money up to sponsor many US athletes who needed the help. Wtf are y’all doing @nbc.” 

A third noted, “Flavor Flav is a legend in Hip Hop and an innovator. Public Enemy is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is also an innovator in another medium: reality TV. And a lot of shows across NBCUniversal would not exist without him, if we are keeping it really real. This man has the biggest heart and is spreading kindness in a world that is cold and cruel. Respect our legends. Do better, NBC.” 

Meanwhile, Flavor Flav deleted his tweet but revealed, “My spirit is broken.” 

Nonetheless, he didn’t miss out on the tree lighting. Check out the video below.  

Comic Andrew Schulz Tries To Shade Kendrick Lamar But Fails

Let me at ’em!

On the intro track of Kendrick Lamar’s album GNX, “Wacced Out Murals,” the rapper took aim at several individuals, most notably white comedians.

In a pointed line, he declared, “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law.”

The lyric sparked controversy, with white comedians like Gary Owen voicing their objections, but why? They need to stay in their lane and let it go. Social media users think the line was directed at Andrew Schulz. This dude who had come under fire earlier this year for making controversial jokes about Black women on his podcast, “Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant with Akaash Singh.”

During the episode in question, Schulz was joined by James Duncan and Fuhad Dawodu of the “Shxtsngigs” podcast. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? Both Duncan and Dawodu laughed at Schulz’s comments and were judged accordingly. They are Black British podcasters and said “Shorrrrry.” But the white guy is standing firm. You know how this goes.

Schulz quipped, “Nobody has respected women more, through art, than rappers. So I completely understand how a rapper could look at a comedian telling a joke and be like, ‘Yo y’all need to switch that s**t up.’ How dare y’all keep saying your wives are annoying?” And it did not stop there.

Schulz mockingly rapped stereotypical lyrics historically found in Hip-Hop songs, “B####s ain’t nothing but h#s and t#####s, I beat my b####h with a stick.” Dummy could have easily quoted LL Cool J’s “I Need Love,” but he’s a clown.

JAY-Z Didn’t Take An L Despite Weed Company’s $500M Loss

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

JAY-Z quietly jumped ship from a cannabis company he invested in before it reported a $575 million loss. The Roc Nation mogul, known for his sharp business acumen, appears to have outmaneuvered financial disaster by distancing himself from The Parent Company (TPCO), the cannabis conglomerate that once housed the premium cannabis brand Monogram.

As TPCO’s shocking $575 million loss in 2022 comes to light, sources close to the situation claim JAY-Z stepped away well before the collapse.

A source told TMZ Hip Hop, “Jay-Z stepped away years ago, and it just went up in a mess,” adding that his official separation occurred in December 2022. While TPCO has since merged with Gold Flora, Monogram is now under the control of another LLC, leaving JAY-Z unscathed as the fallout continues.

Launched in 2020, Monogram was marketed as a luxury cannabis brand with an aggressive campaign that boasted features in GQ, Vogue and Vanity Fair. However, the ambitious venture struggled in California’s fiercely competitive market.

Seth Yakatan, a cannabis industry expert, explained to SFGATE that the upscale campaigns opened the door to disaster for the brand. Yakatan says those campaigns cost The Parent Company mind-boggling amounts of money and claims Monogram’s $50 joints were a tough sell in a state flooded with affordable alternatives.

Despite its glamorous debut, insiders suggest Monogram may have played a significant role in TPCO’s financial collapse. The brand, positioned as ultra-premium, faced criticism for underwhelming consumers. A GQ review even pointed out that Monogram’s $50 hand-rolls failed to stay lit—a basic expectation for cannabis enthusiasts.

“Monogram was supposed to be an ultra-premium product, and I don’t know anyone who tried it and thought it was anything more than mid-tier,” Yakatan said.

He also noted that TPCO burned through $575 million in cash, primarily due to overvalued acquisitions, unmet sales projections, and stiff competition.

As TPCO hemorrhaged funds, JAY-Z’s involvement as the brand’s chief visionary officer may have added to the company’s bloated spending. The rapper-turned-mogul’s influence and celebrity cachet drove up the costs of marketing campaigns, which recruited the likes of famed director Hype Williams, yet failed to translate into sales. But by the time TPCO reported its staggering loss and merged with Gold Flora in 2023, JAY-Z had already separated from the cannabis operation.

Meanwhile, Gold Flora, now grappling with over $56 million in losses and lawsuits over unpaid bills, struggles to keep its footing in the industry. With debts far exceeding its assets, industry analysts are already speculating whether the company will face bankruptcy.

For JAY-Z, the cannabis debacle is merely a blip on his otherwise stellar business record. With a $2.5 billion net worth, he has pivoted back to his more successful ventures, including Armand de Brignac champagne, D’Usse cognac and Roc Nation. As Yakatan aptly put it, “The hype hasn’t met the reality” in cannabis ventures tied to rappers—a lesson JAY-Z seems to have learned before the ship sank.

Big Sean Thanks Tyler Perry For Highlighting Black Women Like His Grandma In New Film

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: News

Big Sean gave Tyler Perry his flowers at the premiere of his new film The Six Triple Eight — which turned out to be a family affair for him.

On Tuesday (December 3), the Better Than Me MC and his mother attended the screening of the film, which chronicles the inspiring story of Charity Adams, who was previously the highest-ranking African American woman in the Army, and the 6888 Central Postal Directory Battalion during World War II.

Big Sean proudly walked the red carpet hand-in-hand with his mother, while also holding a photo of his grandmother, who was one of the 855 Americans of color who served in the only Women’s only Army Corps unit. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Sean praised Perry, who wrote and directed the film, for telling the story of what he considers to be a “crucial” piece of both American and Black history.

“I told Tyler Perry how thankful I was because it’s such an overlooked crucial piece of American history and Black history,” Big Sean said.

“The 6888 battalion connected millions and millions with over 17 million pieces of mail where there was no other means of communication to families and information about loved ones,” he said. “They were fighting their own war being strong Black women during segregation and fighting for their country.”

Big Sean gushed about the pride he holds for not only his grandmother but also the women she served alongside, who he says helped imbue him with the “DNA” he cherishes daily.

“I’m just proud of them,” he added, “Not just my grandmother, proud of all of them. I’m happy to be raised by such strong Black women that are embedded in my DNA and I’m forever grateful for it. It’s a super emotional night.”

EXCLUSIVE: Diddy Claims Feds Spying On Him And Blocking Access To Laptop Critical For Defense

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg) Updated Category: Exclusives

Sean “Diddy” Combs is alleging that prosecutors in his ongoing racketeering and sex trafficking case have been unlawfully surveilling his communications and restricting his access to critical legal resources, including a government-provided laptop.

Diddy, who has been detained in the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn since his September arrest on sex trafficking and RICO charges, has claimed that prosecutors have gone so far as to monitor and record his handwritten legal notes, which he says violates his right to confidentially prepare his defense.

In the letter addressed to U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian, Diddy’s legal team has accused MDC of providing prosecutors with copies of attorney visitation forms without proper oversight.

These forms, which contain details about who Diddy meets with in connection to his legal defense, are potentially privileged information, and his’ attorneys argue that such practices violate his due process rights.

“Who Mr. Combs meets with in connection with his legal defense – including potential experts and investigators – is potentially privileged. Even if not privileged, this level of surveillance offends due process and hampers his ability to prepare his defense,” Agnifilo said. “There is no conceivable reason why the government should know who and when Mr. Combs meets with in connection with his legal defense.”

They are requesting that MDC cease sharing attorney visitation records with prosecutors.

Diddy’s legal team blasted the MDC for not handing over a laptop prosecutors gave him so he could review discovery material and prepare for his upcoming trial, scheduled for next year.

Prosecutors handed the laptop to MDC officials on November 25, but Diddy has yet to receive it, according to his lawyer, Marc Agnifilo.

Diddy is requesting the laptop and unrestricted access.

However, his attorneys argue that restrictions on his laptop use have made it practically impossible for Diddy to adequately assist in his defense.

His lawyers said he was only given two limited options for using the laptop: access it in the unit’s video-teleconference room, contingent on staff availability, or in the legal visiting room during limited hours.

“These restrictions are untenable and… significantly limit the time available for Mr. Combs to use the laptop,” wrote Agnifilo, adding that they also force Combs to choose between meeting with his lawyers or accessing the laptop.

Diddy has been sitting in the MDC lockup facility since September.

On November 27, Judge Arun Subramanian denied Diddy’s fourth motion for release, citing concerns about community safety.

Prosecutors referenced an 8-year-old video of Diddy assaulting Cassie Ventura at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles as evidence of sex trafficking, though his lawyers claimed the video was altered.

Prosecutors also accused Diddy of using other inmates’ phone access, unauthorized messaging services, and involving his children in a social media campaign for his recent birthday.

Diddy’s lawyers admitted to using PACs but cited MDC’s conditions as justification and argued the government failed to prove witness tampering.

However, Judge Subramanian agreed with prosecutors and sent the mogul back to his jail cell to prepare for his trial, which is slated for May 5, 2025.

The government has yet to formally respond to these requests.

Jennifer Lopez Calls L.A. “Lonely” & Praises Jamie Foxx As Saving Grace On “In Living Color”

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: News

Jennifer Lopez has revealed how Jamie Foxx became a beacon of hope for her early on in her career amid her move from the East Coast to the City of Angeles.

On Monday (December 2), Lopez appeared alongside actor Jharrel Jerome for an exclusive conversation with Entertainment Weekly, during which they discussed their shared connection in Foxx. For Jerome, he explained that Foxx, who he says obtained his number through unknown channels, was one of the first stars to reach out to him and tell him to “breathe” following his Oscar-winning performance in the film Moonlight.

As Jerome shared the anecdote about Foxx’s phone call with Lopez, who also hails from New York, he appeared to trigger her past traumas in dealing with living and working in L.A. Subsequently, Lopez launched into a tangent on how Foxx helped her stay the course during her time working on the beloved series In Living Color.

“If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have made it through that season,” Lopez said.

She continued, revealing that she used to go back and forth between the two costal cities almost exclusively until she and Foxx became close friends.

“That was when I first got to L.A…. I used to [go back to New York] every weekend ’cause I was so lonely — I hated it, I missed my family,” she said.

“Jamie and I, we became really good friends, and we’re still friends to this day, honestly. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have got through that.”

She concluded, “I might have moved back to New York, and none of this would have ever happened. We would not be here right now.”

Per Lopez’s own words, if it weren’t for Foxx than her life could have indeed ended up much differently, and she certainly wouldn’t be starring opposite Jerome in their upcoming film Unstoppable which debuts in select theaters on December 6 and streaming on January 16 on Prime Video. The film tells the story of mother Judy and her son Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg and went on to become an NCAA champion wrestler.

Russ Advises Artists To Study “Greatness” Such As Drake, Whom He Says Is Master Of Melodies

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: Rumors

Russ is arguing that the quality that most Hip-Hop fans claim makes Drake a soft rapper, also makes him one of the greatest — and the best at said particular skillset.

In tweet he shared featuring a clip from his recent interview with Apple Music, Russ emphasizes the importance of studying the greats as an up-and-coming artist, holding up Drake as a prime example. In the process he passionately declares that the Toronto’s ability to craft melodies isn’t a weakness, but rather a strength aiding his case for the top spot.

“If you’re an up and coming artist, study greatness,” Russ wrote in the message along with the video.

In his initial remarks, Russ gave Drake his flowers by declaring, “Drake is arguably the greatest melody writer in hip-hop history.”

“I don’t even think that’s like… that shouldn’t even be some far-fetched thing,” Russ said, adding that he believes Drake’s ability to craft hit melodies sets him apart from anyone else in the genre, adding, “This dude has written more hit melodies than I think anyone in rap ever.”

As he continued, Russ addresses critics who might dismiss melody writing in rap, countering their arguments with an assertive argument affirming the ideology that a s#### is indeed a s####.

“Yeah, you can do the whole, like ‘Well, this is rap it’s not about melody writing,’ and like, who cares? dawg, shut up!” he said. “Greatness is greatness.”

He went on to explain his view that Drake’s unparalleled ability to write melodies is a feat that transcends genre boundaries and further adds to his arsenal as an artsit.

“For somebody to come through and write that many hit melodies, that s##t is insane,” he said. “I don’t care what box it was supposed to be in, if it was supposed to be rap or what, it doesn’t matter.”

To illustrate his point further, Russ uses a hypothetical scenario to strip away preconceived notions about established artists by highlighting one of Drake’s acclaimed albums.

“I always tell people like, f##k all this s##t,” he said. “Look at these people [artists] like human beings that if you didn’t know them from a can of paint, they walked into the room and said, ‘Yo, I just made this album, check this out,’ and you thought they were an up-and-coming artist… and they press play and it’s Take Care you’d be like, ‘You’re f###ing insane.’”

Russ concluded bu remarking on his stance that people often take greatness for granted because of its frequency, but when approached with fresh eyes, the brilliance of artists like Drake becomes undeniable.

EXCLUSIVE: Lil Durk Co-Defendant “Cuz” Seeks Protective Order in Explosive Murder-for-Hire Case

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg) Updated Category: Exclusives

The high-stakes legal saga surrounding rapper Lil Durk continues to play out as the rap star gears up for a trial in January 2025.

On Tuesday (December 3), Durk’s co-defendant, Kavon London Grant, aka “Cuz,” filed a motion in federal court to protect potentially dangerous case evidence.

Grant’s legal team requested a protective order, citing concerns that unregulated access to sensitive information could put witnesses, victims, defendants and those prepared to testify at serious risk.

“This case involves significant safety concerns regarding disclosure of names and personal identifying information of victims, witnesses, and defendants,” Grant’s attorney, Peter C. Swarth, explained.

Among the evidence at issue are graphic crime scene photographs, autopsy reports, and statements from protected witnesses, which prosecutors say could lead to retaliation or intimidation if improperly disclosed.

Swarth emphasized the need for strict limits on who can access the materials due to the volatile nature of the case.

The legal battle stems from the August 2022 killing of Lul Pab, born Saviay’a Robinson, a cousin of rapper Quando Rondo, in West Hollywood, California.

Prosecutors allege that Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Banks, orchestrated the murder as a retaliatory strike for the 2020 killing of King Von, a close associate of Durk’s Only The Family (OTF) crew.

King Von was fatally shot in Atlanta by Timothy “Lul Tim” Leeks, an affiliate of Quando Rondo.

According to federal indictments, Durk offered money and “lucrative music opportunities” as incentives for Robinson’s murder, deepening a long-standing feud between the two rap factions.

Grant is one of five alleged OTF members arrested in connection with the case, alongside Durk himself.

The other suspects— Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey, and Asa Houston—face charges of conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, murder-for-hire resulting in death, and the use of a machine gun in a violent crime.

Federal investigators claim that credit cards tied to OTF’s music label were used to pay for travel, rental cars, and other logistical elements of the alleged plot, pointing to a coordinated effort to carry out the crime.

The protective order motion reflects the intense scrutiny and danger surrounding the case.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys jointly filed the motion, agreeing to safeguard evidence without compromising the defendants’ ability to prepare for trial.

Lil Durk, who was arrested in October 2024 in South Florida, has pleaded not guilty and remains in federal custody. He faces life in prison if convicted.

Are The New Owners Of Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles Raging MAGA Supporters?

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Something crazy has come to light. For years, Black people have been loyal supporters of Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles. We’ve loved their chicken, waffles, and other delicacies, believing it to be a Black-owned establishment. While it’s never been considered the pinnacle of fine dining, we cherished it for its soulful taste and the vibe it offered whenever we walked through its doors.

Now, a new rumor is making waves: Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles may not actually be Black-owned anymore. And when I say “anymore,” you’ll understand shortly.

Roscoe’s was founded by a Black man in the 1970s and quickly became an iconic institution, particularly in Los Angeles. Over time, it expanded its operations and gained recognition in other cities. However, unbeknownst to many of us, the franchise faced significant financial troubles, accumulating a staggering $27 million in debt. In response, Roscoe’s filed for bankruptcy, entered a payment plan, and committed to staying afloat.

This is where things get murky.

I’ve been digging for clear, definitive information about the current ownership of Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles, and the details are elusive. What we do know is that the parent company is called East Coast Foods, but beyond that, it’s hard to pin down specifics. However, one thing is certain: this ownership question has sparked a lot of conversations.

A post shared by Pamela Smith (@blackhomeeducators)

Some rumors (see above video) suggest that the current owners are Trump supporters—yes, you read that right. Allegedly, the folks now running Roscoe’s align with MAGA, the “Make America Great Again” crowd. This claim gained traction after a woman online posted about it, and Joy Reid from MSNBC picked it up. Unsurprisingly, this revelation has led many Black people to reconsider their support for Roscoe’s. To be fair, some had already distanced themselves, given that the menu isn’t exactly known for its health-conscious offerings—but that’s another story entirely!

I’ll continue investigating and share any updates as they come. In the meantime, it might be wise to pause your support for Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles until we get to the bottom of this. Stay tuned!

For the record, this is what AI told me:

As of December 2024, there is no public information indicating a change in ownership; Herb Hudson remains the owner of Roscoe’s House of Chicken ‘N Waffles. The company has continued to operate its various locations, although it has faced challenges, such as the closure of its Pasadena branch in June 2024 after 30 years of operation.

EXCLUSIVE: 50 Cent & Young Buck War Over $250K Reignites Over Lack Of Documentation

By: Nolan Strong Updated Category: Exclusives

Young Buck and 50 Cent are still at over that damn $250,000 advance or loan they have been beefing over for almost 10 years.

In a new court filing, Young Buck claims he never received the money, which 50 Cent insists was paid and tied to a 2014 G-Unit Records contract.

The dispute traces back to a deal struck between Young Buck, whose real name is David Darnell Brown, and Fif’s G-Unit Records.

The contract allegedly stipulated a $250,000 advance, but Young Buck asserts in court filings that the payment was never made.

In Young Buck’s 2020 bankruptcy filing, G-Unit made a claim for the $250,000, prompting objections from the rapper.

Initially, the bankruptcy trustee agreed to settle the debt with G-Unit as part of the proceedings, but now, Young Buck’s attorneys argue that the claim is baseless.

They assert the contract fails to meet enforceability standards under New York law, which requires a clear agreement and evidence of fulfillment of key terms.

Adding fuel to the controversy, G-Unit has acknowledged it is “unaware” of any more documentation—such as bank statements or tax records—to substantiate the payment.

Despite G-Unit’s allegations, no evidence has been presented to validate the payments.

“G-Unit would have this court accept that no bank records, business records, or tax filings exist to substantiate these payments,” Young Buck’s lawyer, Keith Slocum, said.

Through his lawyer, Young Buck asked the bankruptcy judge to sustain his objection to G-Unit’s $250,000 claim.

Azealia Banks Fires Back At Matty Healy After He Appears To Threaten To Slap Her In Heated Exchange

Azealia Banks engaged in a heated exchange with the 1975’s Matty Healy on X (Twitter), which quickly escalated into a tense rant filled with insults and threats of violence. 

The unhinged back and forth began on Tuesday (December 3), when Banks commented on a picture of singer Charli XCX, writing, “Charli used to be sooo pretty. Ugh.” 

Healey’s bandmate George Daniel is engaged to Charli, and he fired back at Banks, from his unverified burner account.  

“All the women you attack seem to be culturally relevant, attractive, divisive and NICE people,” he wrote. “I think this makes you jealous cos you’re so talented but everything else about you is a failure. Just rap bro.” 

Things went left after Banks compared Charli to Frankenstein and said the singers look like they “share needles.” 

Healy unleashed on Banks, warning her, “I am not the one,” before threatening violence.  

“I’ll f###### slap you so hard,” he said, “I’ll get a Guiness world record for the highest a rat some b#### calls a wig has ever flown.” 

He also vowed to “use my mental illness to full effect,” and “dox and f### you up,” if she ever mentions his fiancée Gabbriette Bechtel. 

Azealia Banks Vows To Track Matty Healey Down And Make Him Pay

Although Matty Healy quickly backtracked and apologized, admitting, “I can’t be saying I’m gonna hit a girl that’s insane I’m sorry,” the damage was done, and Azealia Banks unleashed.   

“How are you really hurt about what a b#### has to say about another when you’re okay saying you like watching p### with black women being brutalized?” she wrote. “Are u really the n#### charles Xbox is hanging with? My point proven. 

“F### your mates honestly,” Banks added. “This is like the third time you’ve come out of your face spewing violence specifically towards black women. Brutalized p###, ice Spice, now you’re threatening to slap me and think a small apology will suffice.” 

She then vowed to make Healy “pay” for his threats. “I’ve had enough of n##### thinking my opinion is open season for them to threaten me. He’s going to pay got every last word of it because enough is enough,” she wrote.

Bhad Bhabie is opening up about her future plans, revealing she wants to have more children with boyfriend Le Vaughn once her cancer treatments are over. 

A video surfaced online Tuesday (December 3) in which Le Vaughn asks Bhad Bhabie if she wants more children. When she said she wanted to have two more, Le Vaughn asked when.  

She replied, “After my treatment,” prompting Le Vaughn to ask her to clarify what treatment.  

“We gotta wait until after my medicine,” she said shakily.

However, the exchange left fans unsettled, particularly given Bhad Bhabie’s recent domestic abuse allegation and her recent cancer diagnosis, leading many to voice their concerns on Instagram. 

“That’s the look of an abused and scared woman in my opinion,” one worried user shared. “Prayers for her and her child. 

Another questioned, “Am I the only one who is concerned for her at this point?” while a third added, “Not him asking ‘what treatment.’ he don’t know what she got going on?” 

Bhad Bhabie accused Le Vaughn of domestic abuse over the summer, months after giving birth to her first child.  She also shared graphic images of the alleged abuse.

“I love that man more than I love myself and it’s honestly really sad,” she wrote on Instagram. “But unfortunately this is real life. I know the easy way out is to leave and that’s better said than done. This doesn’t happen this extreme often, but LV definitely has a problem.” 

She added,” My point in sharing this wasn’t to attack him, it was for him to see what he does is wrong and too take accountability and make a REAL CHANGE.” 

Nonetheless, Bhad Bhabie claimed her daughter’s father was seeking help, and they later reconciled.

Chrisean Rock’s ex is ramping up his efforts to determine if he is the father of her son, claiming he has already taken a DNA test to uncover the truth. 

Furthermore, Ronny implied he witnessed the birth of Rock’s son, and he deserves to be in the child’s life.  

On Tuesday (December 3), the Baddies star’s old boyfriend, Ronny Doe shed light on the situation during an interview on Instagram Live. When asked if he’s spent time with the boy, Ronny claimed, “I was with Chrisean when her water broke.” 

He also implied he was present in the delivery room before hesitating. “Long story short, I seen baby boy when you came out the hospital,” he said. “I’ma just say I know who cut the umbilical cord.” 

Ronny also said that while he doesn’t want to “get ahead of himself,” he argued, “That’s my son.”

Rick Ross Taunted By Ex Over Alleged Secret Children, Suggests Vasectomy

Rick Ross is no stranger to getting roasted by Tia Kemp, the mother of his eldest son, William Roberts III. 

The outspoken social media personality was back at it again during a recent Instagram Live. This time, Kemp repeated her claims that the Miami rapper has secret infant children. 

The topic arose when a fan in the chat asked if the baby in her arms was her and Rozay’s grandson. As usual, Kemp seized on the opportunity to troll her ex.  

“Of course not. Look at him real good. It’s no silverback-ed-ness in him,” Tia Kemp replied, using her favorite Rick Ross taunt. “Lil Will ain’t got’s no chirruns yet. He won’t be having none no time soon. He’s only 19 years old. And his daddy having enough for him, he’s already said it.” 

Kemp continued, claiming that her son complains that he doesn’t know Rick Ross’ other children. 

“I’m just keeping it real,” she added. “He’s not even seeing half of them. I’m serious.” 

She then teased Ross, joking about having more children even after your adult kids have reached the age to start their own families, and suggested a vasectomy. 

“Anybody that’s still having children while their children are having children, please girl and guys, chop shop that,’ she said. ”Don’t do that to yourself. It’s embarrassing, it’s not too cool at all. It’s the most ratchet thing you could do in your family.” 

Tia Kemp Claims Rick Ross Will Dump New Boo Before Christmas

This isn’t the first time Tia Kemp has made wild allegations about Rick Ross or the number of children he has.   

Back in January, Kemp claimed Rozay has 10 children, “two of them probably not even a month old.” 

She revisited the claims last month while roasting Ross over his new girlfriend.   

“Y’all know the girl will be gone in the month,” she said while on Instagram Live. “Probably before Christmas, man. He got too many children he gotta f###### support for Christmas. The b#### ain’t going to get nothing.”

Cardi B went on a tirade against her fans and threatened to disappear after sharing a snippet of an old song on her Instagram broadcast channel. 

In the video shared Tuesday (December 3), Cardi is seen rapping along to a song she recorded but scrapped in 2019. “I hate this song,” she admitted in the clip.  

It appears some fans didn’t care for the song either and freely expressed their opinions, prompting Cardi B to react on X (Twitter). 

“This y yall don’t get s###,” she tweeted before going on a rant in Spaces.  

“I really want some of y’all to stop being f###### dumb, stupid and slow, okay? Dumb, just f###### stupid and f###### slow and overly opinionated. Just overly opinionated,” Cardi began. 

She then explained why she only previewed the song, noting she explicitly stated her hatred of it but often returns to her old recordings because they might contain gems too good to discard.  

“Even if they’re scrapped, I like to rehear s###,” she continued. “Just in case I find a f###### line that I like and I could reuse it, because the song is completely f###### scrapped.” 

Cardi B Says Fans Are “Doing Too Much”

However, the backlash was too much for Cardi B, and she plans to keep a low profile for a while. 

“Y’all might not even see me for the rest of the f###### year. I’m so over everybody, I need time for myself,” she asserted. “I got like three more bookings, that’s when you’re going to see me. Other than that, I don’t want to deal with nobody, deadass.” 

Cardi then referenced her recent revelations about her plans for next year. 

“I already know how I’m coming next year, so I gotta focus on myself,” she added. “I got that s### out of my f###### system and y’all just doing too much.” 

Meanwhile, Cardi B pushed back the release of the long-awaited follow-up to her 2018 debut, Invasion Of Privacy. However, she promised to deliver the project, alongside other exciting new ventures, in 2025.  

Drake Trolls Kendrick Lamar While K. Dot Gives Back At Kids Charity

Drake may have taken his gripes with Kendrick Lamar to his lawyers, but that hasn’t stopped him from trolling the West Coast rapper. 

Despite sending shockwaves through the industry with his recent legal action against UMG, Spotify, and others over Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” the OVO boss has remained notably silent since filing his petitions. 

However, Drake resurfaced on Tuesday (December 3), popping up during a Kick stream to troll Kendrick Lamar.  

Streamer Los Pollos TV was ranting about Lamar’s GNX album, complaining he didn’t want to hear it after listening to Drake’s Certified Lover Boy when the Toronto superstar appeared in the chat. 

He borrowed from the viral “Mustard” memes from Lamar’s “tv off” to taunt Lamar while seemingly mocking DJ Mustard’s height.  

“We need a donut emoji in the chat custarrrrrdddd,” he joked. Drizzy also dropped a second “CUSTAAAARRRRRD” comment, pinned by Los Pollos. 

While Drake was making jokes online, Kendrick Lamar was giving back to children in need. Lamar and his fiancée Whitney Alford helped deliver an unforgettable holiday experience to 500 students from across Los Angeles at the 2024 Baby2Baby Holiday Event. 

He joined forces with celebs, including Kelly Rowland and Demi Lovato, at Baby2Baby’s annual holiday distribution event in partnership with Nordstrom, FRAME and LAFC.

Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar caused a stir earlier on Tuesday, announcing his Grand National Tour, which makes 19 stops across North America, including in Drake’s hometown, Toronto.

Snoop Dogg Surprises Daughter With $1M Wedding Gift

Snoop Dogg revealed on The Jennifer Hudson Show that he has set aside $1 million as a wedding gift for his daughter, Cori Broadus, as she prepares to marry her fiancé, Wayne Duece.

The announcement came during a lighthearted segment, where the legendary Hip-Hop artist and Cori shared intimate family anecdotes about her upcoming nuptials and more.

Snoop disclosed the extravagant gesture during a game called “Snoop & Cori’s Confessions.”

Host Jennifer Hudson prompted the rapper to share the most extravagant gift he’s ever bestowed upon his only daughter.

“It’s the truth, but the only thing about this gift is she never got to open it, or she hasn’t opened it yet,” Snoop said with a grin. “It was a million dollars for her wedding.”

He followed up with a playful jab at himself, joking, “If it was my wedding, I would have spent $100 and $900 would have gone in my pocket.”

Cori and Wayne, who announced their engagement in November 2022, faced a delay in their wedding plans earlier this year after Cori suffered a stroke in January at the age of 25.

The couple’s journey, along with the family’s preparations for the big day, has been captured in an upcoming E! docuseries titled Snoop’s Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne’s Story, which begins airing Thursday.

The episode also sheds light on past grand gestures from Snoop, including the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon he gifted Cori for her 16th birthday.

The luxury car quickly became the center of a family inside joke when Cori’s mother, Shante Broadus, took the vehicle away as a form of grounding.

“I don’t know what happened, but I bought her a G-Wagon for her 16th birthday, and all of a sudden, the mama had a G-Wagon,” the 53-year-old said, laughing. “Didn’t give it to her, she took it away. Her grounding was taking it away.”

Cori added her own good-natured gripe about the incident, recalling, “She was driving me to the nail shop. I’m like, ‘Mom, you cold. You cold.'”

Christian Combs Faces Assault Lawsuit Linked To Use Of Diddy’s Yacht

Christian “King” Combs, son of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, is facing a new lawsuit accusing him of assault, battery, sexual assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The legal action, filed by Grace O’Marcaigh, sheds light on troubling allegations that have surfaced against the 26-year-old amid a tumultuous period for the Combs family. Court documents obtained by In Touch reveal that O’Marcaigh, a stewardess in the yachting industry, served Christian with legal paperwork at his father’s Miami mansion, where he’s has been staying since Diddy’s September arrest on federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.

According to O’Marcaigh, the alleged assault occurred in July 2022 while she was working aboard a yacht chartered by Diddy.

In her lawsuit, O’Marcaigh described the environment aboard the yacht as chaotic, claiming it was turned into a “hedonistic environment” filled with alleged drug use and sex work. She recounted an incident where Christian allegedly pressured her to drink tequila with him, later becoming physically aggressive when she refused to comply.

The suit claims Christian “violently grabbed [O’Marcaigh’s] arm,” cornered her in a private room, and attempted to force her into non-consensual acts.

“[O’Marcaigh] was quite scared and realized she was in a very dangerous situation,” the suit reads, adding that her physical resistance ended only when another employee interrupted. O’Marcaigh said she reported the incident to the yacht’s captain, who allegedly dismissed her concerns and forced her to continue serving Christian during the trip.

The latest legal development follows allegations against Christian Combs in March. Attorney Tyrone Blackburn, who also represents O’Marcaigh, announced plans to file a lawsuit on behalf of an anonymous Jane Doe, accusing Christian of drugging and sexually assaulting her. While the specifics of this case remain undisclosed, the accusations add to a growing list of legal challenges facing the Combs family.

Blackburn has a history of high-profile cases against celebrities, including T.I. and Tiny and Nicki Minaj. He is also representing Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones in a separate lawsuit against Diddy, accusing the mogul of sex trafficking, gun running and drug dealing.

Daddy Yankee, the Grammy-nominated trailblazer often dubbed the King of Reggaeton, confirmed his separation from his wife, Mireddys González, after 30 years of marriage.

The Puerto Rican music icon made the announcement via Instagram Stories, explaining the decision came after ongoing efforts to salvage their relationship.

“With a heart full of respect and honesty, I want to share some important news about my personal life,” the 47-year-old wrote. “After more than two decades of marriage and after many months of trying to save my marriage, which my wife and I share, today my lawyers respond to the divorce petition received by Mireddys.”

Yankee described the split as a difficult but necessary step in his journey.

“This is not an easy time, but I understand that this is part of my life process,” he said. “It is time to accept and continue—protect my stability, my children, and everything built over so many years. I deeply thank those who have accompanied us during this journey and I ask that you respect our privacy in this process. I know that this news may surprise many.”

Their relationship began when Yankee and González were teenagers.

By the time he was just 17, the couple welcomed their first child, Jesaaelys, in 1994. They later expanded their family with two more children, a son and another daughter.

The pair maintained a largely private life throughout the years, even as Yankee’s career surged to international stardom with hits like “Gasolina” and “Despacito.”

Yankee’s 2017 collaboration with Luis Fonsi, “Despacito,” became a global phenomenon and achieved historic milestones, including becoming the most-watched video on YouTube at the time.
