Congratulations are in order for G Herbo and Taina Williams, who shared that they have welcomed their first baby into the world together. 

The couple announced they were pregnant at the beginning of this year, keeping the child’s sex under wraps until a few months later when G Herbo accidentally revealed they were having a boy during an Instagram Live. He went on to tweet the following: “YEAH I GAVE THE GENDER AWAY ON ACCIDENT THE OTHER DAY [laughing emoji] BABY BOY + SON SON = DOUBLE TROUBLE.”

Early on Thursday morning, the rapper updated his Instagram with the first picture of his newborn son in his arms. He kept his caption short and sweet, sharing a black and white heart emoji. Already, celebrities including Reginae Carter, Lil Tjay, DJ Envy, DJ Clue, Trae Tha Truth, and more have rushed to post their celebratory messages in the comments. 

Taina Williams has not posted since the birth of her newborn son.

G Herbo has one son with his ex-girlfriend, Ariana Fletcher. This is Taina Williams’ first child.

We’ll keep you posted as the couple reveals more information about their baby, including his name, more pictures, and anything else. Congratulations to G Herbo and Taina!

In an age where it seems as if everyone is looking for their Andy Warhol-predicted 15-minutes of fame, Lauren London remains fiercely private about her personal life. The actress has been in the industry since 2003 when she made her debut appearance in the music video for Pharrell Williams and Jay-Z’s “Frontin’,” but she’s probably most famously remembered as Nu-Nu from the movie ATL alongside T.I.

However, London’s relationships with the father of her children—Lil Wayne and Nipsey Hussle—have often made headlines, and following Nipsey’s callous murder back in the Spring of 2019, London has dedicated herself to continuing his legacy. The Southern California native recently sat down with the Los Angeles Times to speak at length about her career, loss, and rebuilding after a tragedy.

“I think when really hard things happen to people it’s just hard to think that life will ever be sweet again. So that’s something that I’m learning again, is how to do that,” said London. “I lost what I would say is the love of my life. … So I had to go so deep within myself. I was so in a dark space and it was just like, ‘What is this? Who am I? God, please show me.’ … When you’re facing God face-on, you’re asking real questions and you want real answers. It wasn’t for play. I really wanted to know what was going on. So, I think it just has expanded because of my quest for peace.”

The actress spoke about meeting Nipsey back in 2013 after a few casual interactions. He reportedly slid into her DMs and their friendship grew into a romance. “Nipsey made the biggest joke that L.A. was my gang, that I bang L.A.,” she said. Since his passing, London has spent time focused on her family and her spiritual practices, but she eased back into the industry by starring in Without Remorse with Michael B. Jordan.

“I always say I’m a seeker of truth. I always say that. Because I want to know the truth,” said London. “I want to know what it really is, and I think that also has been what has helped me in my spiritual practice too. It’s a tenacity for God.”

The NBA, like many other leagues and businesses across the United States, has been easing its way back into normalcy. Sports fans are once again finding themselves watching games from stadium seats, but not everyone has been acting appropriately. Washington Wizards star Russell Westbrook suffered a slight setback on Wednesday (May 26) when, during a game against the Philadelphia 76ers, he endured an ankle injury. As if that wasn’t bad enough, as Westbrook was being ushered off of the court, a 76ers fan disrespected the NBA icon.

In a video that has gone viral, Westbrook is seen being carried out by officials when someone dumps popcorn onto his head from the seats above. Naturally, Westbrook got fired up and can be seen yelling at officials.

After the game, Westbook sat down for a press conference where he addressed the incident. “To be completely honest, this sh*t is getting out of hand, especially for me,” he said. “The amount of disrespect, the amount of fans just doing whatever the f*ck they want to do. It’s just out of pocket. There are certain things that cross the line. Any other setting… [If] a guy were to come up on the street and pour popcorn on my head, you know what happens.”

“In these arenas, you got to start protecting the players. We’ll see what the NBA does,” he added. According to ESPN, Wizards head coach Scott Brooks called for that 76ers fan to be banned from the league. Check out videos of the incident and Westbrook’s response below.

She used Instagram’s Q&A feature to address a few rumors that have floating about lately. Kim Kardashian is used to having her name entangled in headlines, whether it’s about her divorce from Kanye West, rumors that she’s hooking up with Drake, news regarding a current lawsuit from disgruntled employees, or gossip about her previously dating Travis Barker, boyfriend of her sister Kourtney Kardashian.

Kim hasn’t taken to social media to speak about all of those topics, but she did briefly address the latter two while on Instagram. The reality star mogul wrote that she was getting her nails done so she had a few moments to answer questions from her fans. One person wanted to know if she pays her employees.

“Absolutely, I respect people for their time and their hard work and unfortunately these workers are suing the wrong person,” said Kim. “I paid the vendor and it’s their job to pay their staff. I hope that they are able to get this issue resolved soon.” She also touched on the rumors regarding her relationship with her sister’s boyfriend after news surfaced that she and Barker were once an item and Barker’s ex-wife, Shanna Moakler, said that her marriage to the rocker ended because of his affair with Kim. Danity Kane singer Aubrey O’Day even wrote about the Kim and Barker last summer as she reflected on hanging out with Kim years prior.

A fan flatly asked if Kim and Barker ever hooked up, and Kim answered, “NO! False narrative! We’ve been friends for years and I’m so happy for him and Kourt.” Check it out below.
