Minnesota Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley has apologized to his estranged wife, Montana Yao, for the ongoing drama revolving around himself and Larsa Pippen. Yao filed for divorce from the 24-year-old NBA player in December.

“I wana say sorry for putting you in the situation you were put in the last few months,” he wrote in a new post on Instagram. “My head wasn’t were it was supposed to be.. I was looking for more when it was right here that whole time.. I’m telling the world and you that there’s no body like you for me.”

Beasley and Yao were still legally married when he first began dating Pippen.

Beasley continued: “For the record I was the one who ended my last relationship off the fact that there is no one like you .. also for the record i wanted to do my own ish cuz I just left u guys and I def ain’t the type to set up pictures at the mall n ish .. as that’s some childish ish and I’m trying to grow individually and grow a family .. a real family .. I ain’t looking to be judged I’m looking for forgiveness.. To forgive me for hurting my family the way I did. At the end of the day I’m a lover boy and I miss holding y’all and loving y’all.. I love you mu shi .. I love you kai Kai my family over thing…”

In February, Beasley was sentenced to 120 days in the Hennepin County Workhouse with work release and home confinement option for drug possession and violent threat charges.

Despite his own advice, there are some things that simply can’t be blamed on Baby. Such was indeed the case during DaBaby’s big win at last night’s Billboard Music Awards, where he took home the Top Rap Song prize for his Roddy Ricch assisted “Rockstar.” Upon taking the stage, DaBaby likely expected to have his celebratory strut scored by his award-winning anthem, what he actually heard was the dulcet tones of Post Malone.

An understandable mixup, as DaBaby and Posty have songs titled “Rockstar,” both of which happen to gargantuan chart-toppers. Thematically appropriate to be sure, as Post Malone’s “Rockstar” spirit likely captured how Baby was feeling to some degree, but a noteworthy gaffe all the same.

DaBaby himself didn’t appear fazed, at least not on the surface, drawing little attention to the mixup upon taking to the podium. “It’s me, It’s me, I’ll live with that,” he began, before breaking into his acceptance speech. 

While it’s unlikely that the BBMA’s error tarnished his big win, many viewers were quick to take to Twitter and poke fun at the now-viral incident. And while it’s clear that many felt appalled on DaBaby’s behalf, perhaps they consider themselves lucky — at least it wasn’t D12’s Bizarre’s “Rockstar.”

Check out the moment and some of the choice reactions below. 

Empire star Bryshere Gray is set to spend 10 days in prison after pleading guilty to felony aggravated assault in his ongoing domestic violence case, new court documents obtained by TMZ have revealed.

Additionally, Gray will serve three years on probation, during which, he will be required to enroll in a domestic violence offender treatment program and submit to drug and alcohol testing.

Last July, the actor’s wife claimed Gray throttled her, causing her to lose consciousness. When police attempted to arrest him, Gray barricaded himself inside his home in Goodyear, Arizona.

Gray maintained his innocence in a recent interview about the case with Marc Lamont Hill.

“It’s been beyond frustrating, and I certainly am not going rogue,” he said when asked about speaking publically regarding the case. “I’m still taking the advice of my attorneys and everything like that, but I don’t really see, honestly, what staying quiet has really done, like, where it has gotten me… It’s so much bigger than me.”

Gray’s Empire co-star, Jussie Smollett, has also faced legal trouble in recent years for allegedly filing a false report claiming that he was attacked by two men in January 2019.
