After Darius Jackson lashed out at Keke Palmer for attending Usher’s Las Vegas residency in a sexy Givenchy dress, it became evident that trouble was afoot in their relationship. The pair welcomed their first child together, Leodis Adrellton Jackson, in early 2023, and have spent the time since navigating life as new parents. It’s obviously not an easy journey for anyone, but from Palmer’s social media posts, she made it seem as though her boyfriend made for an excellent co-parent and support system.
Unfortunately, we now know that mental and physical abuse was taking place between Leodis’ parents. According to PEOPLE, a close source made it clear that Palmer gave her man “a lot of chances” before deciding to file for a restraining order this past week. “[Keke] did what she had to do,” they told the outlet. “She gave him a lot of chances to do the right thing. Keke tried so hard to have an amicable split and arrangement [custody].”
The Chicago native has since been granted sole custody of her son, after filing documents alleging Jackson of several forms of disturbing behaviour. According to Palmer, he previously spoke about empathizing with animals who eat their young, and once practically played tug of war with her over Leodis during an angry attempt to change the months-old baby’s diaper. The details surfacing so far are chilling, but still, Darius seems confident that he’ll be seeing his little boy again before long.
The year is definitely off to a tumultuous end for Keke Palmer and her fractured family, but on the bright side, at least she and Leodis got to enjoy their first Halloween together before all hell broke loose with Darius Jackson.

Fans have been eagerly anticipating Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s collaborative LP for time now. They were left disappointed last week when various promotional Instagram posts for the project were erased, prompting rumors that it might be scrapped altogether. Their previously announced listening parties were also cancelled in October, only compounding speculation.
Luckily for those awaiting the drop, Ty Dolla Sign has now provided an update on the album, seemingly confirming that the project will be released after all. According to him, listeners won’t have to wait much longer either. He revealed that he’s been in the studio with Ye in Saudi Arabia as of late, working on his portion of the joint LP. “I just landed on a flight from Saudi Arabia,” he explained. “I’ve been out there recording a part of my album with my brother Ye. And that’s coming real soon.”
Ty Dolla Sign Gives Update On New LP With Kanye West
While the duo has yet to announce an official release date for the project, it appears as though fans are closer than ever to hearing it. It’s not the only new music they can expect to hear from Ye in the near future, however. At the end of last month, J Prince shared that he also ventured to the Middle East, and got a preview of the Chicago native’s upcoming solo album. According to him, it’s sounding great. “Nice listening to some of the new album with the homies in Saudi Arabia,” he said. “It’s hot. One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. Full of Respect, Structure, and Peace.”
That project doesn’t have an official release date either, but it’s safe to say that fans can’t wait. What do you think of Ty Dolla Sign’s update on his joint album with Kanye West?

Doja Cat‘s fans are currently spiraling after the singer posted a cryptic video to her Instagram, with nothing but the caption “Out Monday.” The clip finds Doja (as her red-painted Scarlet altar-ego) interviewing the seemingly regular Doja, mirroring the style of a late-night television show.
“This might be a silly question,” Doja asks herself from the hosting desk in the skit. “Do you appreciate the people and the fans who support your music?”
The video then cuts to Doja dressed up, as she sits on the stage. A thought bubble version of herself appears right above. “I hate my fans,” she says, speaking from her inner thoughts. “My fans are dumb.” Instead of saying that out loud, she just answers, “Yeah,” as the audience cheers.
While it’s still unclear exactly what this teaser is for, Doja’s fans seem to believe that it’s likely for a new music video. Some have speculated possibly for “F*ck The Girls (FTG),” “Shutcho,” or something else entirely.
In usual The Rap Game fashion, season 3 had a great deal of talent and drama. Furthermore, with appearances by artists like Kelly Rowland and Rick Ross, they tapped plenty of legends to mentor the new generation of talent. In an action-packed season, the rap battles between contestants were far more dynamic. The Rap Game introduced talents like Latto and J.I. The Prince Of NY to the public. So naturally, the stakes were high for the new crop of youngsters aiming to break into the music industry.
The different contestants brought a great deal of talent and drive to the show. Moreover, they all showed some promise, both in rap and other areas of showbiz. Over 13 episodes, we saw them go head to head for the crown and a record deal with Jermaine Dupri’s So So Def label. So, what have the contestants from season 3 of The Rap Game been up to since they left the show? Let’s find out!
Nova, whose real name is Julio Franceschi, won season 3 of The Rap Game. Some months after the show, he released his single, “Stay Over” ft. Jacquees, which displays his dexterity and unique rap style. After the song, Nova also released other songs in 2017 – “Go Harder” and “Riding My Wave.” In 2020, Nova came back with a new album titled The Quarantine. He uploaded the project on YouTube, where his channel has more than 100k subscribers.
The Pennsylvania native’s most popular songs have hundreds of thousands of streams on Spotify. Today, Nova regularly releases videos of himself performing on Instagram, but he has not officially released a lot of music since 2020. The reality TV show star has close to 500k followers on Instagram, and he teases a comeback from time to time. He is also known to have been in a relationship with fellow The Rap Game star Nia Kay in 2017.
Deetranada is a Baltimore-based rapper who has been uploading music onto social media platforms since she was a child. After finishing as a runner-up on The Rap Game, she released Adolescence Swim. Since then, she has put out multiple albums (seven are available on Apple Music). Deetranada’s most streamed song on Spotify, “ATTITUDE!” is off her 2019 album, DEEvsEVERYBODY!, and it has over one million streams. Most recently, she unloaded her latest album, Nada. She also uploads her music on YouTube, where she has close to 200k subscribers.
King Roscoe did not wait long to utilize the fame that season 3 of The Rap Game afforded him. He collaborated with the show’s winner, Nova, on a track titled “Add It Up.” He also released “No L’s Round Here” and his EP, Highly Underrated in the same year. Many of his subsequent releases have been on YouTube, rather than on conventional streaming platforms.
Since 2022, King Roscoe has released music under the name Dreek Jones. His most recent project, Dreek Jones, came out this year, and it comprises eight songs. This marked his first full-length release on streaming platforms under his new moniker.
Flau’jae (Flau’jae Johnson)
Flau’jae is currently a student-athlete at LSU, where she plays basketball. At this point in her career, she seems to be as popular for being a baller as she is for being a rapper. After starring in The Rap Game season 3 in 2017, she released multiple singles, including “Can You Hear Me Now” and “Why Dey Hatin.” She has also continued to put out music, releasing singles and projects over the years.
Flau’jae’s most recent project is titled 4 My Fans. Evidently, her fans loved it, as it has hundreds of thousands of plays across streaming platforms. Currently signed to Roc Nation, Flau’jae seems to be juggling rap and basketball just fine. The LSU athlete was also dubbed the 2023 SEC Freshman of the Year. According to USAToday, she also helped her team secure their first national championship.
Tally was a part of the second and third seasons of The Rap Game. In the second season, however, she was eliminated in the first episode. Tally came back for the third season but left again in the 12th episode. Since that time, she has rebranded as a beauty and fashion influencer. She recently got married and went on a honeymoon to Mexico. Earlier in her career, not long after leaving The Rap Game, Tally formed 2XO with her sister. Together, they created “Summer Love” and “Blame It on You.” However, the duo has not put out any music in a while.
Chad Johnson made an impassioned plea to Aaron Rodgers this week, asking the veteran QB to stay sidelined instead of trying to force an expedited return to the field. “Don’t do it. You’re going to reinjure yourself. It’s too soon. You have to understand. There are few injuries that you don’t want to play with. You don’t want to play with anything having to do with your groin, your Achilles, or your knees. You don’t rush back from those. I don’t care what your doctors tell you,” Johnson said via TMZ.
Rodgers went down four plays into his debut with the Jets back in September. However, the alternative medicine practitioner has recently hinted that he is just a few weeks away from being ready to play again. Given that Achilles tears tend to need 6-9 months to heal, it’s practically a miracle that Rodgers is seemingly bouncing back from one in half that time. Without Rodgers at the helm, the Jets are 4-4. The team has one of the best defenses in the league most weeks. However, there is little to no life on offense to help win games. This week, the Jets take on the 4-5 Raiders in Vegas. The Jets are favored by a single point in the matchup.
Rodgers Making Millions From Pat McAfee Show Appearances
However, the time on injured reserve hasn’t been all bad for Rodgers. According to a New York Post report last month, Rodgers is making at least seven figures a year for his weekly segment on Pat McAfee’s ESPN show. Rodgers has made a weekly Monday appearance on McAfee’s show ever since he moved to ESPN in September. “Aaron has made over $1,000,000 with us, for sure,” McAfee told the Post via direct message. It’s unknown if Alabama coach Nick Saban, who also does a weekly segment, is also paid to appear.
Many of Rodgers’ major offseason revelations were made on McAfee’s show, both before and after it moved to ESPN. Trade rumors, the darkness retreat, his aggressive rehab plan. All of those happened on McAfee’s show. Of course, there’s no rule against Rodgers getting paid for media appearances. However, it takes some of the veneer off McAfee’s brand. The former punter had built a reputation as a foul-mouthed frat bro who naturally attracted like-minded individuals to him. While he might still do that for his audiences, it appears his guests need a fat check to hang out with him.
It’s been months since people began speculating about a potential pregnancy for Halle Bailey, but the Atlanta-born actress still refuses to divulge her secrets with us. Instead, she’s been playing coy by mostly hiding her midsection from the camera. When Bailey has given us a look at her outfits from the front they’ve either been oversized, or images appear to be photoshopped to make her waist look even more slim than usual. Despite some insisting that she’s expecting her first child, the 23-year-old’s refusal to confirm the news has left some room for doubt.
We’ve been Bailey on many red carpets in recent weeks, donning gowns that shield her slim body from revealing too much. This weekend, she and DDG are taking a break from the spotlight with a trip to the tropics, allowing The Little Mermaid star to flaunt her body in a blue bikini, which she proudly did on Snapchat and other platforms. While she gave us a look at her swimsuit and perky bottom from the back, Halle’s refusal to turn around and give us a look at the current state of her stomach is raising eyebrows.
Elsewhere on her Story, Bailey “reconnected” with one of her animated Disney co-stars while picking up a tiny crab on the beach. She also posted a cute selfie with DDG (notably taken from the chest up, as well as a heartwarming video of a mother and baby bird spending time together in a tree. Finally, we see the brunette beauty swimming in the blue ocean, keeping her midsection hidden from view as she smiles for the camera.
Even with all the gossip about a potential baby in store for the couple, Halle Bailey and DDG have chosen to ignore the rumours to keep their private lives just that. They had plenty of fun this past Halloween with their creative costumes, one of which paid homage to Janet Jackson and the late Tupac Shakur. See photos at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
G Herbo has circled back to clarify his now viral public service announcement about people who talk about him, which many assumed was aimed at Chris Brown.
