Brian McKnight’s Ex Julie Responds To Him Suggesting Their Children Are “Evil”

Brian McKnight had some harsh words to say about his biological children recently, but it doesn’t look like his ex-wife Julie is letting them get her down. Earlier this week, the performer took to social media to respond to criticism for praising his young step-daughter Julia while disowning most of his other children. According to him, Julia is his “one and only daughter,” despite his other one Briana.

Later on, he implied that his biological children needed to be removed from his life for him to find happiness. “In order to live a life that you love, you have to get rid of the evil and the negativity, even if that evil and negativity is related,” he said. “We want everyone to live a life that they love. But in order to do that you have to get rid of that evil and negativity.”

Julie McKnight Responds To Ex-Husband Brian’s Harsh Comments

While one might expect his biological children’s mother to be upset, Julie made it clear it hasn’t fazed her. In a clip shared on Instagram, she seemingly addresses the negativity coming from her ex. She’s also sure to note that she’s personally “so proud” of who she raised. “The point of every negative situation, whether it’s an illness whether it’s a fool that you have to deal with because they keep entering your life when you are no longer giving any more energy to it, is to only keep you down to where they thought they had you because they were the author of an extremely abusive situation emotionally, mentally,” she explained. “And they’re no good at not being the center of attention anymore. So when everybody pulls that away, it’s like a kid without candy who throws a tantrum…”

Larsa Pippen & Marcus Jordan Hold Hands During Beach Date Less Than A Month After Splitting

At 49 years old, Larsa Pippen has lived a full and exciting life. For much of her youth, she was by the side of NBA superstar Scottie Pippen, whom she shares four children with. Though their marriage didn’t stand the test of time, the social media starlet isn’t letting that deter her from finding new love. Much to the surprise of the world, she and 33-year-old Marcus Jordan are enjoying one another’s company. The former college athlete is the son of Larsa’s ex-husband’s Chicago Bulls teammate, Michael Jordan, adding an extra shock factor on top of their age gap.

On their good days, Pippen and Jordan make a great team professionally and romantically. The pair launched a podcast where they’ve been spilling tea about their personal lives and the entertainment industry. Unfortunately, several breakups have been holding them back from creating much content together lately. Less than a month ago they confirmed yet another split, and shortly after that, Jordan accused his ex of re-writing history to gain more clout.

Regardless of any negative feelings, Pippen is willing to put the past behind her as she was spotted on the beach, hand in hand with her ex earlier this week. Photos from the outing are now on the reality starlet’s IG page, though they focus on her bodacious behind instead of her rumoured rekindling with Jordan. It’s unclear if the exes are officially back together at this time, but if they are, we’ll wait a few weeks to see if it lasts this time before getting too excited.

At this point, a reconciliation between Larsa Pippen and her younger man doesn’t come as much of a surprise – the pair seems to have developed a taste for spinning the block. If you’re curious about the rollercoaster of their relationship so far, check out our timeline at the link below. For more hip-hop/pop culture news updates, check back in with HNHH later.

Wendy Williams’ Ex Kevin Hunter Was “Overpaid” $112K In Divorce, Her Guardian Alleges

There’s been no shortage of drama in the world of Wendy Williams as of late. Unfortunately, however, things only appear to be getting more complicated. In new legal documents obtained by Page Six earlier this week, the beloved former talk show host’s guardian Sabrina Morrissey requests that her ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, return the money that he was allegedly overpaid. In her filing, Morrissey notes that Hunter received payments from The Wendy Williams Show up until October of 2021. Three months later, however, he was admittedly still being paid monthly.

“I believe this was largely the result of the fact that the payments had been put on an ‘autopay’ function within her account,” Morrissey explains in the court docs. She also claims that this violates the two exes’ settlement agreement. The agreement reportedly states that if Wendy’s income drops below twice what it was as of February 1, 2020, Hunter’s payments would stop. “By holding on to the funds he was overpaid, he has interfered with [Williams’] right of possessions to those funds,” the docs read. Reportedly, Hunter now owes Wendy upwards of $112K.

Sabrina Morrissey Accuses Kevin Hunter Of Benefitting From Wendy’s Money

Morrissey’s filing comes after weeks of uproar over Lifetime’s new Where Is Wendy Williams?docuseries. The series’ producers have faced accusations of exploiting her by putting some of her most vulnerable moments on display. These theories were only compounded following the public reveal of Wendy’s dementia and aphasia diagnoses. Producers maintain that they had no knowledge of this while filming the doc.

What do you think of Wendy Williams’ guardian Sabrina Morrissey filing a new request for Kevin Hunter to pay the former talk show host over $100K? What about her accusing him of benefitting unfairly from Williams’ money and violating their divorce settlement? Are you surprised?

Yaya Mayweather Wants NBA YoungBoy Back, Despite His Marriage To Jazlyn Mychelle

It’s no secret that NBA YoungBoy and his ex Yaya Mayweather have been through their fair share of ups and downs. Back in February, for example, the former pair went viral over bodycam footage surfaced of her 2020 arrest. She was detained for stabbing another mother of his children, Lapattra Jacobs, at his Louisiana home. Shortly after that footage made its rounds online, YB posted a photo of Yaya on his Instagram Story, sparking some confusion among fans. The rapper is currently married to Jazlyn Mychelle, who he also shares two kids with.

Evidently, the obstacles they’ve faced haven’t put Yaya off completely, however. Earlier this week, she took to social media to make some interesting claims, suggesting that she’s looking to rekindle her romance with YB. “My homegirls trying to help me get my bd back because they helped me lose him,” she captioned a playful clip of her and some friends dancing.

Yaya Mayweather Plans To Reignite Flame With NBA YoungBoy

It remains unclear whether or not Yaya was actually serious, but her post has fans social media users up in arms regardless. Countless commenters are calling her out for seemingly wanting him back despite his marriage to Jazlyn, while others note that they didn’t even seem like a great match when they were together. “She talking about her MARRIED Baby Daddy?” one user wonders. Another tells her to “Please stop.”

YB has yet to address the TikTok, but some suspect that it could introduce some tension to their co-parenting relationship. What do you think of Yaya Mayweather’s recent TikTok about wanting the father of her child back? Do you think she deserves all of the backlash she’s receiving online for it, or are social media users overreacting?

Usher Reveals His First Celebrity Crush

It’s no secret that both Usher and Chilli have come a long way since breaking off their fling in 2004, but according to him, their love story started far before they even met. Essence recently named the R&B icon the “Sexiest Men of the Moment,” and as part of their spread, asked the hitmaker a few questions about his love life. During the interview, he admitted that his now-ex was actually his first-ever celebrity crush.

“Imma be real honest with y’all today,” he begins in a clip. “Chilli was my first celebrity crush. I think I was 11 or 12, something like that.” Fortunately for Usher, he got to meet Chilli in 1993, and went on to date her for three years before they split. Their breakup was long believed to have inspired his fourth studio album Confessions, which has since been debunked. Chilli revealed in 2013 that they parted ways simply because “it was that time or whatever,” shutting down rumors of any potential infidelity on his end.

Usher Says His Ex Chilli Was His First-Ever Crush

“We were together when he recorded that album,” she told Us Weekly. “All of those songs on Confessions, that was about Jermaine Dupri’s situation. Usher was just singing it. But people kind of bought into it, it was just the timing of our breakup when the album came out… So people assumed that album was about us, but it was not. And Usher and I weren’t oil and water. We broke up because I guess it was that time or whatever… He was that real love for me.

This isn’t the first time Usher revealed his early admiration for Chilli, however. Earlier this year, he told PEOPLE that he was smitten by the TLC performer at as young as eight years old. He recalled hanging her posted up on his wall as a child, hoping for the opportunity to one day meet her. “At the age of 8, I put her poster on my wall and said, ‘Man that girl is so beautiful. One day, I’m going to meet her,‘” he explained. Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Janet Jackson & Q-Tip Reunion Rumors Fly After Flirty Birthday Post

Janet Jackson and Q-Tip may have called off their relationship more than two decades ago, but evidently, the two artists remain close. In fact, one of her latest social media posts has led some fans to believe that they’re closer than ever these days, and may have even rekindled their romance. Earlier this week, Jackson took to her Instagram to wish Q a happy 54th birthday. Many note, however, that the tone of her message seemed a bit flirtatious. Moreover, she revealed that they were together the evening prior, suggesting that they could be back on.

“30 + yrs of friendship… So special to me. Thank you for coming over last nite. Happy bday [blowing kiss emojis],” she captioned a black and white photo of Q-Tip. While it’s surely possible that Jackson and Q-Tip’s relationship is purely platonic, social media users were quick to speculate.

Janet Jackson Thanks Q-Tip For “Coming Over Last Nite”

“It was always supposed to be them for [me]!” one fan writes, with another playfully dubbing the songstress “Janet ‘spin the block’ Jackson.” Others are making jokes about how another one of her exes, Jermaine Dupri, must feel about the rumored reunion. It remains unclear what caused Jackson and Q-Tip to go their separate ways in 2002, but perhaps they’ve been able to move past it.

Back in 2021, Q-Tip reflected on their relationship in an interview with Math Hoffa, revealing that they met on the set of Poetic Justice and the rest was history. “It be cool and sh*t,” he explained. “She be making eggs and sh*t and I’ll be chilling like, ‘Yo, that’s Penny!’ to myself. I love her to death and she’s a Jackson — that’s Black royalty.” What do you think of Janet Jackson’s recent message to Q-Tip in honor of his 54th birthday? What about her revealing that he’s visited her recently? Do you think the exes have rekindled their romance?

Ashanti & Joyner Lucas’ Relationship Was “Dope,” Latter Reflects

Ashanti, who’s rumoured to be expecting her first child in the coming months, has shared much of her personal life with the public throughout her career as an R&B star. Understandably, she’s choosing to keep her baby bump under wraps while rumours fly, though she’s still full of energy as she performs some of her biggest hits on stage. Her most famous relationship was with Nelly – the alleged father of her unborn baby – who she initially dated two decades ago. Now, the pair is poised to start a family together as they both continue to expand their creative resumes.

Interestingly, Hollywood Unlocked CEO Jason Lee revealed on today’s (April 10) episode of his podcast that another famous artist once had Ashanti on his arm. 35-year-old Joyner Lucas spent some time romancing the “Happy” hitmaker, though their time together was kept out of the spotlight. “It was dope,” the rapper said without hesitation when asked how his time with Ashanti was. “She’s a really dope person, she’s sweet, amazing,” he calmly praised his ex.

In the clip above, Lee asks his guest to spill on how he and Ashanti linked up. “I’m a private motherf**ker,” Lucas stated, “but what I will say is that she’s an amazing person. I know she was really excited to be a mom.” The two artists apparently spoke about the idea of one day having a family together, but the episode preview showed some hesitation from Lucas when asked if he was in love with the black-haired beauty. The eight-year age gap between them indicates that the Massachusetts native is a fan of older women, which he confirmed. “You’re a Leo, a lion – you want the cougar,” Lee astrologically theorized.

Amber Rose Claims Ye Pressured Her To Dress Provocatively Despite Her “Conservative” Values

It’s no secret that Amber Rose is known for her seductive image, but according to the personality, that wasn’t entirely up to her. During a recent appearance on Bethenny Frankel’s podcast, Just B, she opened up about her high-profile relationship with Ye. She says the partnership cemented her image as “this sexpot type of girl.” Unfortunately, it doesn’t necessarily align with the “conservative” person she is deep down.

“That was my first relationship with a celebrity ever but also in the public eye,” she described. “And he knows a lot about fashion and he always wanted me to dress very sexy… I would have producers saying, ‘We want to do this video for MTV and we want you at the pool, with a bikini on, martini in your hand.’ And I’m like, ‘Ugh, I’m so not her. Like I’m so not her and I get what I come off as but I am so not her.’ And they’re like, ‘Well I guess you don’t want to do it then.’”

This is far from the only time Ye’s been accused of encouraging his partners to dress a certain kind of way, however. He’s frequently under fire for his current wife Bianca Censori, for example, and her head-turning looks. Reportedly, the Australian model’s family members have even expressed concern over her outfit choices as of late.

Last week, a source even told Page Six that her father has invited her and Ye to Australia to discuss her recent fashion statements, and that she’s “hesitant” about the conversation.

NBA YoungBoy Takes Yaya Mayweather & His Wife Shopping With Lil Mabu, Leaving Fans Confused

Recently, NBA YoungBoy and his ex Yaya Mayweather reunited to take their son on a shopping trip, and it’s sparked quite a debate among fans. Lil Mabu and YB’s wife Jazlyn were also present for the excursion, leaving some to speculate that there was some tension between the two women. In a new clip, he’s seen roaming around Target with Yaya trailing behind.

The rapper appears to be in good spirits in the clip, but either way, commenters are suspicious. Countless users are calling for Yaya to “stand up,” reminding her that her father is Floyd Mayweather. “Baby do u know who your father is?????” one fan writes. Another says, “You’d never catch me like this unless it’s the kids bday party.”

NBA YoungBoy Goes To Target With His Family

While there are many users criticizing the former couple for the outing, others are coming to their defense, arguing that they’re simply doing their best to maintain a healthy co-parenting relationship for the sake of their son. “Absolutely nothing wrong with this video,” one supporter insists, with someone else claiming, “it looks like they are all getting along.” Other fans suspect that Yaya may have insisted on accompanying the couple to the store to be close to her child.

This isn’t the first time NBA YoungBoy has been under fire for his personal life as of late, however. Earlier this week, his young son hopped online to participate in the Bad Word Challenge going around on TikTok, which he admitted he didn’t like. This prompted fans to pull up receipts of him claiming he’s “not really big” on fatherhood. What do you think of NBA YoungBoy going on a shopping trip with Yaya Mayweather and his wife, Jazlyn?
