Stormzy & Maya Jama Reconciliation Rumours Run Rampant As Exes Seemingly Vacation Together

by

Spinning the block has become an increasingly popular option amongst the celebrity dating pool in recent years. Pairs like Ashanti and Nelly, or Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have successfully reconciled after decades apart, making a case for the rest of us that maybe it’s not so horrible to text your ex after all. Another pair who’s believed to be spending time together again years after their breakup is British rapper Stormzy, and television personality Maya Jama. According to The Sun, the pair are having a belated celebration for her birthday in Greece at this time, and the 30-year-old is doing everything he can to give his ex the treatment she deserves.

“Stormzy is mad for Maya and has spent huge amounts of money taking her on a luxury holiday,” a source dished to the outlet. “He chartered a private jet to Greece then they flew into the resort by helicopter. It’s all very romantic. The Amanzoe is incredibly pricey and they’ve been waited on hand and foot.” Because Jama celebrated her 29th in August, Stormzy wanted to make it as memorable as possible for her. “She means the world to him and he wants her to be treated like a queen,” an insider explained.

Maya Jama Ends Her Birthday Month with a Dream Vacation

As per another report from The Sun, it was the Croydon-born lyricist’s mother who encouraged him to patch things up with Jama. “Stormzy is really close to his mum Abigail who has always been Maya’s biggest fan,” a source shared. As he embarks on his 30s, the lyricist is looking forward to settling down with “The One,” which is apparently what he recognizes the socialite as.

Prior to sparking Stormzy reconciliation rumours, Maya Jama spent some time in a whirlwind romance with NBA athlete Ben Simmons. He eventually proposed to her with a stunning ring worth a reported $1M, but months after they went their separate ways, he sent her a legal demand requesting the luxury jewelry back. Read more about that at the link below, and let us know if you’re rooting for the Love Island host and her rapper beau in the comments.

Ne-Yo’s Ex-Girlfriend Says He’s “Hurting Deep Down Inside”

by

Ne-Yo’s ex-girlfriend, Sade Bagnerise, has taken to social media to share a message about the singer. She shares two children with him, Brixton and Braiden, and the message comes amid a recent custody battle over the two boys. Ne-Yo had filed for joint-custody of them last month, and she later filed a countersuit agreeing and asking for child support. Earlier this year, Ne-Yo and his former wife Crystal Renay finalized their divorce. She filed for divorce in 2022 after discovering that Ne-Yo had gotten Bagnerise pregnant.

Now, Bagnerise has revealed in an Instagram Story that she personally apologized to Renay, going on to clarify recent reports surrounding their custody battle. “I’ve privately apologized profusely to Crystal for my role, and she is such a strong, beautiful, FORGIVING woman,” she wrote, “but I spoke to a woman who was so confused and broken. BETRAYED & misunderstood.” She continued, “She is hurting and healing and as hard as he tries to play tough guy he know he’s hurting deep down inside too. He needs help (love, support). It takes a village.”

Bagnerise Claims Ne-Yo “Needs Help”

“I know y’all like to tussle in them comments,” Bagnerise says, “but just read and listen with your heart today, and not your fingers. The headline about me demanding child support was a reach, and I think y’all are hurting my baby daddy feelings, lol. He says he don’t care. But he do. We all care just a little.” Last month, it was also reported that Ne-Yo requested a paternity test to ensure that the children are his. Bagnerise claims that this was never a concern of his.

“IN FAIRNESS TO HIM,” she adds, “in that regard, he has always been physically, financially, and emotionally responsible for both Braiden and Brixton from the moment he found out about the first pregnancy. He’s never denied or questioned either child, and we have DNA tests for both. […] The man is and always has been a proud pappy. He be scandalous AF lmao but he does right by all of his kids.” According to Bagnerise, despite ongoing drama in his personal life, Ne-Yo remains a strong figure in his kids’ lives.

Lala Kent Expertly Trolls Randall Emmett With Edited 50 Cent Couples Photo

by

50 Cent and his girlfriend Cuban Link have been in a happy, healthy relationship for some time now. However, that definitely hasn’t stopped other women from expressing their interest in the media mogul. For instance, his former partner Vivica A. Fox recently told Sherri Shepherd on the latter’s talk show that she would consider reconciling with Fif, especially seeing how similar situations have worked out for stars like Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. Elsewhere, the rapper’s former enemy Lala Kent shared a photoshopped image of them holding hands on her Instagram this afternoon (June 23) before quickly taking it down.

As Page Six notes, the Vanderpump Rules cast member edited a throwback photo of Curtis Jackson on her ex-fiancé, Randall Emmett’s head. “Aw,” she wrote in the captioned of the now-deleted post that sees the couple holding hands, Lala also holding their baby. Kent didn’t specifically explained what led her to troll her ex with his nemesis, but it likely won’t be long before the truth comes out.

Money by Monday… #lalakent #vanderpumprules #pumprules #pumprulesbravo #bravo #realitytv

♬ In Da Club – 50 Cent

As you may recall, Fif previously put Emmett on blast over an alleged $1 million loan in 2019. “Money by Monday,” the Power producer demanded at the time, which has since lived on in pop culture infamy. Seeing as the “Hate It Or Love It” hitmaker is an expert himself at throwing shade and trolling on social media, we wouldn’t be surprised to see him react to Kent’s short-lived post over the coming days.

Today’s unexpected, albiet hilarious, 50 Cent photoshop post certainly isn’t the only time Lala Kent has used social media to shade her ex-fiancé. In fact, back in December 2021 she posted a sex toy ad to her online platform in which she suggested Emmett’s performance in the bedroom was far from adequate during their relationship. Read what the reality starlet had to say about that at the link below, and make sure to check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

6ix9ine Apologizes To Cardi B Over Past Beef, Explains It Was Due To His Ex-Girlfriend

by

When Cardi B’s name gets caught up in hip-hop drama, it’s most often affiliated with her contemporaries, such as Nicki Minaj. Of course, she has had her share of issues with male artists too, including 6ix9ine. Years ago it was speculated that the “GOOBA” artist named Cardi as a member of the Nine Trey Bloods. At the time, he was working with police as an informant. The Grammy Award winner’s team has since shut down those allegations. Still, 6ix9ine has been known to throw shade at his fellow New Yorker in more recent years.

Back in February 2021, the embattled star publicly dissed Cardi, and while he was dating his ex-girlfriend, Jade, their feud only became more intense. During a new interview on the Alofoke Radio Show, 6ix9ine admitted that his last relationship is what caused a major wedge between him and the 30-year-old. More recently, the controversial artist has been spending time with Yailin Hablan, who appeared alongside him in the sit-down. The entire conversation was recorded in Spanish, but everyone in the room’s passion and good humour still shines through. According to 6ix9ine’s new girl, both of them are supporters of Cardi now.

Elsewhere on camera, the multi-talent spoke about the surprise album he dropped this past New Music Friday (June 16). It seems 6ix9ine is venturing away from his rap roots (especially after being outcast by the genre for his aforementioned snitching) and is instead leaning into the reggaeton market, who have been seriously enjoying his latest body of work.

In other news, Cardi B has been busy focusing on preparing for her highly anticipated sophomore album to drop. To ensure her physique is as camera-looking as always the mother of two underwent another round of laser hair removal last week, which she candidly documented for her IG followers.

Vivica A. Fox & 50 Cent: Actress Expresses Interest In Reconciling Romantically With Rapper

by

58-year-old Vivica A. Fox is looking for love, and she’s apparently not afraid to spin the block to find it. Over the years the actress and various Hollywood heartthrobs have had rumours flying, including Ne-Yo, Dennois Rodman, Jamie Foxx, and Shemar Moore. Perhaps her most-talked-about relationship also happens to be one of her oldest, when she briefly dated 50 Cent in 2003. The pair looked undeniably good together, but couldn’t make things work. While he’s currently happily in love with Cuban Link, Fox revealed during a recent appearance on Sherri Shepherd’s talk show that she’s looking for love at the moment.

“Well, [Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez] did it again. Why not?” the black-haired beauty joked when the host asked if she would be interested in reconciling with the New Yorker. Elsewhere, she and Shepherd discussed Fif’s reaction to Fox’s upcoming First Lady of BMF project, which he seemed less than enthused about. “I took it as a compliment. I did. I was like, ‘That was his way of showing support.’ Thanks, boo,” the Indiana native laughed.

Of course, Fox is well aware of her ex’s new relationship, and she made sure to send them love during her Sherri interview. “[50 Cent] has a beautiful girlfriend by the name of Cuban Link… Recently, he gave her something, but I don’t know if it was an engagement ring. But it was a beautiful ring,” she noted, clearly having seen the young socialite’s IG post at the time.

Despite gossip rapidly circulating at the time, the Power producer quickly shot down engagement talk online. He and his partner may not be ready to take their love to the next level quite yet, but friends and fans alike have often commented on how she seems to have shaped her beau into a better man. See photos of Cuban Link’s massive ring from 50 Cent at the link below. Make sure to tap back in with HNHH later this weekend for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Chilli & Usher: TLC Singer Stayed In Contact With R&B Star During His Marriage

by

One of pop culture fanatics’ favourite couples to watch over the past year has been Chilli and Matthew Lawrence. The unexpected duo first got together in 2022, shortly after he finalized his divorce from professional dancer Cheryl Burke. It’s obvious that the TLC alum’s feelings for Lawrence run deep, as she previously shared that she would be happy to marry him. While Chilli is more in love than ever before since beginning her new relationship, she recently revealed to PEOPLE that it took years to get over one of her past loves.

Usher seems to be the “one that got away” for the “No Scrubs” songstress, though they apparently remained in contact up until 2019 – even while he was married. “I love hard. I was like, ‘God, why can’t I get over this?’ He couldn’t either,” she reflected to the outlet. Finally, Chilli got tired of repeating the same cycles and cut the Houston native off to “focus on [herself].” Not only did she quit Usher, but the 52-year-old “stopped dating” as a whole, proving how committed she was to her healing journey.

“Before that, I thought if I met the right guy during that time that I wasn’t over [Usher] it wouldn’t work. I would never want to straddle the fence,” Chilli added. Prior to going no contact, she and the Confessions hitmaker could find themselves back in each other’s lives during periods of being single.

While Chilli has been falling further in love with Matthew Lawrence, Usher has been living the dream during his Las Vegas residency. One of the most recent celebrity guests to get the up close and personal performance treatment from the vocalist is Baby Phat designer Kimora Lee Simmons. Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Summer Walker Credits Shenseea With Changing London On Da Track: “Shoutout To You, Bitch”

by

After interviewing a handful of the biggest names in rap and R&B on her Caresha Please podcast, Yung Miami has become an expert at getting her guests to spill the tea. The City Girl always spills plenty of her own gossip of course, but during the latest episode, it didn’t take much for her to get Summer Walker talking. The mother of three had plenty to discuss, from some of her unique approaches to parenting to her new relationship with Lil Meech.

She and the BMF actor seem to be incredibly happy together at this point, though it’s still early on in their time spent together. While she had nothing but positive things to say about her new man, Walker also took a moment to acknowledge a noticeable difference in her first baby daddy, London on da Track. He himself has moved on with Jamaican songstress Shenseea, who the Still Over It hitmaker happily credited with bringing out the better side in her former frequent collaborator and lover.

“Shenseea, shout out to you bitch,” Walker told Yung Miami and listeners tuning in earlier this week. “After she got in the picture, he started acting right. I was like, ‘Thank God, n*gga done moved on.’ It was wild in the beginning.” The pair spent months publicly feuding while attempting to co-parent their young daughter together. Seeing as Summer’s Instagram Story has been filled with sweet selfies of her and Meech lately, rather than rants about London, it’s safe to say they’ve come to a healthier place in their situation.

Aside from that, the Atlanta native also discusses her biggest ick in a man, the rumoured “death” of R&B, and her stage anxiety, which has earned her some serious backlash in the past.

Dua Lipa Debuts New Boyfriend, Her Ex Anwar Hadid Shares Troubling Social Media Posts

by

Dua Lipa was briefly linked to Jack Harlow after he named a song after her on his sophomore album last year. Fans were initially surprised by the news, though many seemed to be rooting for the young pair. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out between them, and the English songstress has since moved on with Romain Gavras.

Their relationship hasn’t been a secret as it first made headlines back in March. However, the couple has kept a relatively low profile in the time since. They finally making their red carpet debut over the weekend at Cannes Film Festivan in France. Both looked extremely elegant in their black-tie outfits. Dua’s wispy bangs shielded her face from the camera above her cut-out clad little black dress. While some are happy to see the Future Nostalgia songstress on the arm of a handsome man, her ex, Anwar Hadid, seemed far less enthused on his Instagram Stories.

“Trying not to find and kill him :),” the model wrote in one of his uploads, which finds him looking down at the camera with a straight face. “I can’t [breathe],” he added in another selfie, followed by an image of the ground with “I hate the way you say my name,” typed out across it. Before long, viewers assumed Hadid was talking about Dua, likely due to his history of sharing cryptic posts about former lovers.

Regardless of what internet sleuths are speculating, Hadid shut down the gossip with another Story. “Crazy how the internet will just make whole articles about shit they don’t know anything about!!” he ventred. “Y’all are bored as f*ck!!!! SORRY.”

Lil Durk & India Royale Spotted Together, Seem To Be Rebuilding Their Romance

by

Lil Durk is a busy man as of late. He announced earlier in May that his long-awaited follow-up to 7220 is on the way, generating plenty of excitement online for hip-hop heads. Apart from focusing on his music career, the Chicago native has also been pouring energy into his love life recently as he and India Royale continue to move closer to reconciliation. It remains unclear if the co-parents have put an official title on their bond since spending more time together again, but regardless, Durk certainly wants the world to know that the makeup mogul belongs to him.

This past weekend, a video of the “Laugh Now Cry Later” collaborator seemingly leaving a shopping mall with Royale surfaced online. While they don’t show any sort of PDA in the brief clip, Durk carries what appears to be several Chanel bags out of the building. While they were officially dating, the didn’t hesitate to regularly spoil his baby mama, ensuring their designer purchases were captured on camera to flex to followers and prove he doesn’t play about India.

On Friday (May 5), the 30-year-old sent out a subtweet about his rumoured lover, though this one was a plea for food rather than a diss – as we’ve been seeing from some couples on social media lately. “Go cook me some noodles India,” Durk wrote in the early hours of the morning. It remains unclear if the influencer followed through with her beau’s request, but the post made it abundantly clear which woman he’s claiming in the public eye, in case anyone had any doubts.

Over on his Instagram feed, the father of six showed his girl a more subtle form of love, including a mirror selfie she snapped (sans their faces) while straddling his laps in the same outfits they visited the mall in as shown in the video above. Do you think Lil Durk and India Royale will be back together for good? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Freddie Gibbs Denies The Fit Mami’s Claims About Paying For His Cell: “I Ain’t Got No Phone”

by

Rather than playing into the drama currently being created by his ex-girlfriend (and future baby mama) on social media, Freddie Gibbs is keeping his cool. If you’ve been on Twitter today, you may have seen the star’s unfortunate new nickname, “Spreadie Gibbs” trending. The moniker was bestowed upon him after Destini, the woman he formerly dated who’s now pregnant with his child, told her followers that she allegedly has NSFW images of Gibbs showing off his behind in her camera roll.

It seems the Indiana native opted to cut her out of his life completely after she turned to social media to vent about their situation earlier this week. During their time together, the adult entertainer says she and Gibbs both expressed interest in starting a family and that she was even paying for his phone bill. When a wild night of lovemaking actually led to conception, however, the 40-year-old changed his mind, making it clear that he’s not ready to be a father at this time. After getting wind of Destini – also known as The Fit Mami – and her Twitter exposé, Freddie apparently blocked her, choosing to address the situation with a brief tweet on Friday (May 5).

Freddie Gibbs Responds to His Ex

“I ain’t got no phone,” the father of one wrote in an attempt to refute his former partner’s allegations. Of course, it wasn’t long before trolls began pouring into the replies with their thoughts. “Yeah, we know bro,” one of them quipped. “She stopped paying 💀.” Others couldn’t resist but bring up “Spreadie Gibbs,” further taunting the embattled lyricist over the rumours.

One fan asked him, “Gangsta Gibbs they said you was spreadin’ eagle. Tell me it ain’t true,” though the “Crime Pays” hitmaker neither confirmed nor denied that gossip specifically. “Man the next album about to be extraordinary,” someone else speculated. Clearly, the world is looking forward to the follow-up to 2022’s $oul $old $eparately. Keep scrolling to see Twitter’s reaction to Freddie Gibbs’ short and simple response to his ex’s allegations. If you’re not already caught up on the tea, you can read TheFitMami’s lengthy rants about their relationship here and here.
