Noah “40” Shebib Shows Support For Megan Thee Stallion

by

Drake and his long-time in-house producer, Noah “40” Shebib have seemingly always been on the same page.

Ever since The Boy’s second mixtape, 2007’s Comeback Season, 40 has notably produced on every single project.

Continuing tradition, the two OVO Sound co-founders collaborated for multiple tracks on Drizzy’s latest offering – the 21 Savage collab album, Her Loss.

Upon its release early last month, the world was witness to the “Jimmy Cooks” rapper shockingly taking shots at Megan Thee Stallion. On the ninth track, the Daft Punk-sampling “Circo Loco,” the Toronto native accuses Meg of lying about getting shot. “This b*tch lie ’bout gettin’ shots, but she still a stallion / She don’t even get the joke, but she still smilin’,” he raps in the first verse.

“Shorty say she graduated, she ain’t learn enough / Play your album, track one, ‘kay, I heard enough,” he later continues. There has been speculation that he may not have been trying to reference Meg directly. However, the lyrics certainly seem self-explanatory.

In an Instagram post from On Canada Project last week, the social wellness organization promoted their support for the “Savage” rapper amid the trial. The post includes a number of tweets defending the San Antonio native from the public shame she was experiencing after the 2020 incident.

The Canadian producer liked the post and subsequently left a comment with emojis representing applause and praise for the caption.

The comment is certainly causing some confusion, considering Drake and Shebib’s close relationship. Although the producer doesn’t have a production credit on “Circo Loco,” he does have a writing credit.

Regardless, the lyrics were in poor taste from the jump. However, now that Lanez has been found guilty on all three charges against him, the attack is even more of a bad look for Drizzy. It still remains unclear as to why he decided to take aim at her in the song. The Toronto superstar has yet to address the bars publicly, despite calls for him to do so.

“And…I still haven’t listened to Drake’s latest album because of that disgusting lyric in reference to Meg!! I hope his apology is just as loud. Justice has been served, Merry Christmas everyone. #WeStandWithMegan,” wrote comedian London Hughes in a tweet following the guilty verdict.

Mariah The Scientist Faces Backlash Over Old Tweets Defending Tory Lanez 

by

Fans are not happy with Mariah The Scientist after some of the star’s old tweets resurfaced. The tweets show the singer defending Tory Lanez against Megan Thee Stallion to artist Kaash Paige. Back in 2020, Kaash tweeted that she worked with Tory and he “for sure doesn’t respect women.”

However, Mariah insisted that she still works with Tory despite the claims. “Well I have worked with and still do with Tory for years now and he’s never disrespected me. A woman. In fact, I feel like u gotta hidden agenda by speaking on a situation that don’t got sh** to do wit u.”

Fans immediately found Mariah’s old tweets after news surfaced that Tory was found guilty in his assault trial against Megan Thee Stallion. One fan tweeted, “How tf you call yourself a scientist if you can’t use science-based evidence to create opinions.” 

Another fan chimed in, “Mariah the scientist was defending tory lanez and making posts about him in support. Yeah time for her to go from playlists.” The Beetlejuice singer has yet to respond to the backlash. However, she did call the Neighborhood Talk blog recently for posting bad videos of her. “Y’all never post any videos of me sounding good, y’all pick the 3 worst videos from an entire tour and post those hoping that I will be ridiculed for it.”

The 25 year old was also involved in a Twitter spat against her alleged beau Young Thug and his former girlfriend Jerrika Karlae. One commenter claimed that Mariah was the other woman in Thugs relationship with Karlae. But she wasted no time setting the record straight. “What do y’all be talking about?? When I met thug I was less popular than his ex… She always been attractive/ aesthetically pleasing. Why u trying to equating moving on to fronting on somebody? Sick in the head.”

Bobby Shmurda Slams Blueface Amid Youngboy  Beef

by

Bobby Shmurda has a few choice words for Blueface. The “Hot Ni**a” rapper seemingly reacted to the “Thotiana” star’s recent conversation with NBA Youngboy. As we previously reported, Bobby and Youngboy have been feuding since exchanging heated words via Twitter last month.

Blueface recently made an appearance on NBA Youngboy’s  Never Broke Again Radio show and asked about the Baton Rouge rapper’s beef with Shmurda. However, Youngboy doubled down on his claims that he never had beef with the Brooklyn rapper.

“You ain’t even strong enough to do this with me, bruh,” YB said about Bobby. “I’mma stay out your way, bruh. I’m going to stay the fuck out of your way. “Cause I see you let these White people stuck you stupid-ass in jail and let you out and give you not one thing,” he continued. “And now you ready to kill somebody and go back to jail.”

Bobby must have caught wind of the interview shortly after. He took to his Instagram stories, seemingly addressing both Blueface and YB with a message. “Gang bangers is blogging about Bobby Shmurda together,” he laughed. “I ain’t gon’ respond to this nigga. This nigga is a reality star on TV show.”

However, Bobby’s rant didn’t end there. “I’m not to respond to this nigga,” Bobby continued. “There’s no way, I’m too gangsta…you can’t pay me a billion dollars to suck nobody’s dick. You can’t pay me a billion dollars to do nothing outside of my morals. Meaning, I can’t talk about the next nigga for no money.”

Neither Blueface nor NBA Youngboy have responded to Bobby’s post. But both stars have recently made headlines for other reasons. NBA Youngboy revealed his top five rappers list sparking much debate on social media. As for Blueface, fans dragged the rapper for spending Christmas Day with his baby mama and kids instead of girlfriend Chrisean Rock.

Blueface’s Mom Offers Chrisean Rock Advice

by

Blueface’s mom, Karlissa has never seen eye to eye with his girlfriend Chrisean Rock. The leading ladies in the young rapper’s life are known for going back and forth on social media. Karlissa took to social media with a message for Rock just in time for Christmas. “Merry Christmas @Chrisean,” Karlissa began. 

“I been there and its a tuff spot. But if you love God you can’t take someone away from their family or you will lose.” Her message comes on the heels of Blueface spending Christmas with his baby mama and their kids — not Chrisean. “No matter how hard it gets,” Karlissa continued, “ Just know as women I tried this and it didn’t work. Love you even tho you think I don’t. I believe in you baby girl. Stay focused.”

Blueface and Chrisean’s drama continues amid the premiere of there Zeus reality show, Crazy In Love. In a recent episode of the controversial series, Rock got candid about the state of her relationship with the “Thotiana” rapper. “I need space from this, like, forced-ass relationship,” she complained. 

“Like, I don’t know if it’s a business-ship or a relationship,” she added. “Is he with me because there’s opportunity in it, or [does] he really just want to be with me?” Shortly after her outburst, Rock received a message from Blueface, which she read aloud for the cameras.  “Love you, baby, we are family,” the message read. “And we’re gonna make a family. I don’t want to live with nobody else, I like it here with you.” 

As for Chrisean’s relationship with Karlissa, this isn’t the first time the 50-year old mom blasted the 22-year old entertainer. Chrisean revealed earlier this year this she and Karlissa’s beef once came to blows. “She swung on me before, but I let it slide. You know, I don’t hit [other] people’s mothers. So, it took a lot in me to do what I had to do because she kept charging at me and was like, ‘I’mma beat the sh*t out of you,’ and sh** like that.”

Chrisean has yet to address Blueface’s Christmas controversy. 

Naomi Campbell’s Baby Makes A Rare Appearance To Celebrate Christmas

by

She may be one of the world’s most renowned supermodels, but Naomi Campbell is not much different from us. For her annual Christmas festivities, the 52-year-old was joined by her loved ones. All of them wore matching flannel pyjamas to take group photos in front of a beautiful tree.

As PEOPLE reports, the starlet’s festivities had an extra special guest this year – her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter – who was born back in 2021. “Merry Christmas To All. Grateful & Blessed #unconditionallove,” she wrote in the caption.

We can clearly see that her outfit matches her mother’s. Still, Campbell made the executive decision to hide her face with a red heart emoji.

As many celebrities do, the London-born actress is opting to protect her child’s privacy from the spotlight. However, that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t allow her some time to shine here and there. She is the spawn of a legend, after all!

In February of this year, Campbell gave the world its first glimpse at her daughter. Of course, it was no ordinary look. Instead, it was on the cover of British Vogue. “She wasn’t adopted,” the model told the outlet at the time. “She’s my child.”

At this time, little else is known about the child. When announcing her birth last May, though, the Empire actress couldn’t help but gush about the exciting experience.

“So honoured to have this gentle soul in my life, there are no words to describe the lifelong bond that I now share with you, my angel. There is no greater love,” her previously uploaded Instagram message reads.

Naomi Campbell’s baby isn’t the only one who’s been making headlines this Christmas. Yesterday (December 25), Diddy’s little one, Love Sean Combs, finally made her Instagram debut.

In a photo shared on the Bad Boy’s social media, he holds the infant as five of his other children crowd around him in matching pyjamas. Check that out here, and come back later for more pop culture news updates.

Diddy & Dana Tran Take Photos With Baby Love Sean Combs

by

Big families are obviously in style this year. Though he’s already a father of six, Diddy was proud to announce earlier this month that he welcomed a new child. The majority of his kids were born to the late Kim Porter. However, the latest arrival belongs to 28-year-old Dana Tran.

As it turns out, the cyber security specialist previously gave birth in October. Love Sean Combs’ existence was kept quiet for several weeks. Since her father broke the internet with his revelation, she’s been the talk of the town.

Now that the dust has somewhat settled, it appears both the infants parents have been eager to capture photos with her. Over the weekend, an image of Tran holding her swaddled baby on the beach made its way onto @theneighborhood talk.

Though we can’t see little Love’s face, an abundance of thick, dark hair sits on top of her head. Most of the baby’s body is covered, but her adorable tiny arm is visible, holding onto her mom’s chest for comfort.

It remains unclear if Tran has been on vacation with friends and her child, or if she simply resides in a warmer, more beachy area. In fact, little is still known about the new mother, including the nature of her relationship with Diddy.

Speaking of the Bad Boy, he was eager to share some snapshots of his namesake himself. On Christmas Day, the father of seven uploaded an Instagram post that finds most of his family wearing matching festive pyjamas.

In the centre of it all is Love, wearing a unique holiday onesie of her own. Once again, the proud papa keeps her face hidden, though a bow sits on top of her thick, dark locks.

“Merry Christmas from my family to yours! LOVE,” Combs wrote in the caption.

While his holiday certainly did have some wholesome moments, Diddy still kept the internet laughing with his usual antics. Check out what he had to say about Yung Miami’s recent interview with G Herbo here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Keke Palmer’s Baby Bump Is On Full Display This Christmas, Darius Jackson Approves

by

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! While our favourite celebrities are usually too busy to share the intimate details of their lives, the holidays are when many soften up and offer a glimpse into their lavishly decorated homes. The Kardashian family put on an undeniably exuberant display, but other stars like Keke Palmer are keeping things more casual this year.

While hosting Saturday Night Live earlier this month, the Disney Channel alum made a huge announcement. During her opening monologue, she was surprisingly honest with the crowd. “There’s some rumours going around, people have been in my comments saying, ‘Keke’s having a baby, Keke’s pregnant,’ and I wanna set the record straight — I am,” she said.

Immediately, Palmer’s fans reacted in excitement. However, many of them were unaware that she was even in a relationship and wanted to know who her baby’s daddy is.

Presently, the actress is dating Darius Jackson. They’ve been together since the summer of 2021, and though their public comments about each other are few and far between, they’re notably always positive. “I’m glad we were able to help each other throughout our lowest of times,” her man previously wrote on Instagram.

“This is the happiest I’ve ever felt with someone,” Palmer said of the soon-to-be parent’s relationship earlier this year.

On Christmas Eve (December 24), Jackson put a Boomerang on his Instagram Story. In the clip, he kisses the 29-year-old’s pregnant belly. “Mom n Dad,” he wrote above the footage.

For her part, Palmer posted a hilarious IG Reel of her reciting Leora Byrd’s spirited pregnancy monologue. Her baby bump is on full display for followers as she recites along in perfect unison.

“No this sound was meant for you to do it,” Ryan Destiny joked in the comments. “I knew when you ducked down to get into character this was gone be good,” someone else joked.

North West & Sia Sing Together At Kardashian Family Christmas Party

by

Leave it to the Kardashian-Jenner family to outshine the rest of the world with their extravagant Christmas celebration. This year, the reality stars spared no expense as they dressed in designer gowns and recruited huge singers to personally perform for them. As it turns out, one of their own even took to the stage to sing this year.

Clearly following in the footsteps of her performer father is North West, who sang with Sia over the weekend. As PEOPLE reports, the duo sang the Australian’s beloved “Snowman” song while standing in a life-size gift box.

Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloé shared footage of the sweet moment on social media. “We love you @siamusic,” the younger wrote.

For her performance, North looked as stylish as ever. Known for wearing bold attire, the 9-year-old had all eyes on her in a shimmering black look. Her duet partner, on the other hand, looked rather angelic in a long tulle gown and matching headpiece.

While the personal concert was certainly special, it wasn’t the only highlight of the evening. Elsewhere, another mother-daughter duo made headlines with their glamorous outfits for the evening.

Kylie Jenner and Stormi Webster attended the annual family festivities in matching Mugler looks. While the mother of two shows far more skin – something she’s been defending herself for as of late – than her 4-year-old, the similarities between their gowns are undeniable.

On Christmas Eve, the 25-year-old showed off their dresses via Instagram, holding the little girl’s hand in the mirror.

Additionally, Jenner shared an adorable TikTok with her and Travis Scott’s daughter. Her page later lit up with even more content from the evening with her siblings, including a get ready with me and some hilarious acting from the makeup mogul and her best gal pal.

Cory Hardrict & Tia Mowry Spend Christmas With The Kids Following Divorce

by

Even in the midst of an unexpected divorce, Cory Hardrict and Tia Mowry are keeping their composure in the public eye. While the holidays can be a tough time for several separated families, both stars are doing their part to make it easier by spending Christmas together with their two children.

Earlier this month, gossip began circulating saying that the former couple was planning to be under one roof on December 25th. However, last week Radar Online shared a report revealing that the Karen actor “appears to be ready for war” with his latest legal filings. These headlines caused some speculation about whether or not we’d see them put aside their alleged differences for the seasonal festivities.

On Sunday (December 25) afternoon, Mowry shut down any doubters with a simple but effective message on Instagram. “Family will ALWAYS be family,” she wrote. “Merry Christmas from our family to yours.”

Throughout the photos, we see the Sister Sister starlet and her ex sitting side by side. Their daughter, Cairo, is sprawled across their laps, getting a kiss from each of them. Meanwhile, their son, Cree, lays back into his father’s lap.

Additionally, Mowry included some heartwarming father-daughter photos of Cory and his little one hugging in front of the fireplace. Clearly, they’re not letting divorce stand in the way of a cheerful Christmas together.

In Hardrict’s aforementioned petition, he reportedly questions the validity of their prenuptial agreement. Other blogs note that the 43-year-old is refuting his ex-wife’s claims of “irreconcilable differences” being the reason for their demise.

He is agreeing with Mowry’s request for joint legal and physical custody. Elsewhere, he requested that the court terminate her rights to seek spousal support. Surprisingly, he left both boxes unchecked regarding his own spousal support.

Diddy Reacts To Yung Miami’s “Caresha Please” Interview With G Herbo

by

Diddy and Yung Miami have never claimed to be official. However, when headlines revealed that the former had fathered a child with another woman earlier this year, the internet immediately clowned the City Girl for sticking by his side afterward.

As public figures like Akademiks threw shade at the mother of two, Sean Combs publicly spoke out in her defence. “@yungmiami305 is not my side chick,” he wrote on December 13th. “Never has been, never will be. She’s very important and special to me, and I don’t play about my Shawty Wop. I don’t discuss things on the internet and I will not start today.”

Following that message, the “Twerkulator” rapper has shared several comments of her own letting the world know that she’s single. Additionally, Miami addressed the issue on the most recent episode of her Caresha Please podcast. At the time, she was interviewing G Herbo but didn’t hesitate to spill some juicy details about her own love life.

During their chat, the host made it clear that she was aware of Diddy’s new baby long before the world found out. As it turns out, Love Sean Combs was actually born in October to 28-year-old Dana Tran. “Communication is key,” Miami told the “Chi-Raq” artist of their situationship.

The podcast episode premiered a few days ago, but with the busy holiday season, some fans are just now getting the opportunity to tune in. Among them is the new dad himself, and he didn’t hold back when sharing his reaction on social media.

@diddy

Merry Christmas everyone 🎅🏿

♬ original sound – Diddy

In a TikTok uploaded today (December 25), he can be seen watching the Caresha Please episode. “Turn this up, let me see if these n*ggas flirting,” he says while walking towards the TV.

As the camera pans to a close-up of G Herbo, Combs screams, “Why you smiling like that?!” If you thought the aforementioned Shawty Wop comments were a joke, the New Yorker clearly wants you to think again.

Ironically, in the same episode, Yung Miami admits to still keeping her baby daddy, Southside, on her roster of sneaky links. Read all about that, and what G Herbo had to say about cheating on Ari Fletcher here. Additionally, you can find the full Caresha Please interview below.
