Comedian and television host Nick Cannon, known for his role on “The Masked Singer,” is preparing for a unique and heartwarming Father’s Day celebration. Cannon, 43, who is the father of 12 children with six different women, has expressed his excitement to spend quality time with his kids during the special day.
In an interview with People Magazine, Cannon shared his thoughts on the upcoming holiday, emphasizing the importance of connecting with each of his children. Despite the challenges of fatherhood, especially with such a large family, Cannon is determined to make the day memorable for all his kids.
“It’s definitely one of those days where I got to be on my Ps and Qs the entire day,” Cannon admits. “It’s supposed to be a day where I get to rest, but I want to give all my kids the opportunity to connect and give me gifts, and all that type of stuff. It’s a fun day, and I appreciate all the love that I get on that day.”
Father’s Day, for Cannon, is not just about receiving appreciation but also about being present and engaged with his children. His commitment to fatherhood is evident in his desire to make the day special for each of his kids, ensuring they feel loved and valued.
Cannon’s family includes a mix of children from various relationships, with each child bringing a unique dynamic to his life. Despite the complexity, Cannon has always been open about his love for his children and his efforts to maintain strong relationships with them.
Tragically, one of Cannon’s children passed away in infancy, a loss that has undoubtedly shaped his perspective on fatherhood and the preciousness of time spent with his kids. His dedication to his children, despite the demands of his career and the size of his family, is a testament to his love and commitment as a father.
Actress Tisha Campbell recently shared an intimate look into her ongoing battle with sarcoidosis, a chronic lung disease, and its profound impact on her life and marriage to actor Duane Martin. Campbell spoke candidly about her journey on “The MIBO Show,” hosted by former music executive and now mental and physical health advocate Shanti Das.
During the interview, Campbell revealed that her health seemed to improve only after her highly publicized and messy divorce from Martin. She recounted the harrowing moment when her doctor presented three possible diagnoses: valley flu, sarcoidosis, or lymphoma. Determined to fight through whatever it was, Campbell sought the expertise of Dr. Wolf, who ordered a biopsy. She initially feared she might share the same fate as her sitcom brother, Bernie Mac, who also battled sarcoidosis.
The initial diagnosis was grim: sarcoidosis had manifested in stage 1 on the base of Campbell’s brain, her lymph nodes, and her right lung. Despite her best efforts, including taking steroids and other treatments, Campbell faced significant health challenges. She experienced weight gain, became pre-diabetic, and saw the disease progress. After living with the disease for seven to eight years, Campbell believes that a C-section she underwent accelerated the sarcoidosis to stage 2.
Throughout her battle, Campbell has demonstrated remarkable resilience and determination. Her story sheds light on the struggles faced by those living with chronic illnesses and the importance of perseverance and support.
By opening up about her experiences, Campbell hopes to raise awareness about sarcoidosis and inspire others facing similar challenges to continue fighting. Her journey is a testament to her strength and courage in the face of adversity.

Last month, actress Raven Symoné stood up for her wife, Miranda Pearman-Maday, following a wave of online criticism. The backlash began after Miranda revealed that she didn’t watch any of Raven’s projects, including the iconic Disney Channel show “That’s So Raven,” during her childhood.
Raven, known for her outspoken nature, took to social media to address the negative comments directed at her wife. In a recent interview with E! News, the “That’s So Raven” star explained why it was crucial to respond to the criticism.
“It was so important because my wife didn’t deserve the backlash that she was receiving,” Raven stated. “She didn’t say anything offensive to a culture or me or herself, and they were miscategorizing her, period.”
Miranda echoed Raven’s sentiments, acknowledging the harsh public scrutiny but emphasizing their need for personal peace.
“I think people are always going to be people, and they’re always going to hate,” Miranda explained. “They’re always going to have opinions. It was done for us to make sure that we felt at peace and calm and we could kind of put the nail in the coffin about it and just put it to rest.”
Married since 2020, Miranda expressed her unwavering support and admiration for Raven’s career.
“I love Raven,” Miranda continued. “I support Raven. I love ‘That’s So Raven.’ I’ve seen it all. I’ve seen everything she’s done. And now, if people are going to continue that conversation, at least they know that they’re falling into a false narrative and they’re basically just perpetuating gossip. And that’s their prerogative.”
As anticipation builds for the next episode of “Royal Rules of Ohio,” viewers are in for a thrilling ride. Episode 104, titled “Rule #4: Royals Don’t Go Rogue,” promises drama, surprises, and pivotal moments for the royal sisters. Thelma faces GS at the Black Alumni Reunion, Auntie Sheilah’s kickback becomes the stage for Abigail’s unexpected appearance, and the sisters make a permanent decision that will leave Akili and Delali stunned.
In an exclusive interview with The Source, the chocolate beauties shared their experiences growing up as descendants of Ghanaian royalty, their journey to Columbus, Ohio, and the challenges and triumphs they face balancing their noble heritage with everyday modern life.
1. Can you each tell us what it was like growing up as daughters of royal descendants in Ghana and how that shaped your experiences living in Columbus, Ohio?
Nana: We were not privy to our royal lineage until we were teenagers. We realized that we must hold ourselves to a different standard than we once had. Learning that we are royal descendants was a pivotal moment that shaped our understanding of who we are and the responsibilities that came with it.
2. “Royal Rules of Ohio” offers a glimpse into the double lives you lead. How do you balance the expectations of your noble heritage with your personal ambitions and modern lifestyles?
Brenda: We do a good job of balancing our noble heritage and our personal ambitions by remembering that it’s okay to be selfish and put yourself first. Yes, we are royal, however, we still want to create a legacy for ourselves.
3. The series shows a lot of opulence and luxury but also touches on the responsibilities that come with your background. How do you manage the pressures of upholding your family’s reputation while pursuing your individual goals?
Thelma: For me, as the oldest, I have to make sure I am a leader and also be a role model to my sisters and the young girls here in Columbus. When it comes to my family’s reputation, we try to never make mistakes in the public eye. One mistake we make and the whole community will come at our necks.
4. What has been the most challenging aspect of allowing cameras to capture your daily lives and the behind-the-scenes dynamics of your family?
Nana: The most challenging aspect of filming was adjusting to the cameras. In the beginning, we were all camera aware – worried that we may say something wrong. But we began to feel comfortable with the crew and at some points, we forgot the cameras were there.
5. Your show highlights the cultural richness and traditions of Ghanaian royalty. How important is it for you to share and preserve these traditions while living in the United States?
Brenda: It’s really important to showcase our culture in America because it ties us back to the motherland. We display our culture through our clothing, the food, and even the language we speak. Although we are Ghanaian we still wear our American clothing as well to highlight that duality.
6. Each of you brings a unique personality and perspective to the show. How do you think these differences contribute to the dynamic and appeal of “Royal Rules of Ohio”?
Nana: More often than not, people cling to what is familiar to them. What they fail to see is the beauty that can come from being different. Because we are unique in our own way there is always someone that the viewers can connect to. Our individual personalities make us unique in a way that the world hasn’t seen before.
7. The show touches on themes of identity, heritage, and responsibility. What do you hope viewers, especially young women of African descent, take away from your stories?
Thelma: We hope for viewers, especially young women of African descent, to feel empowered by seeing my sisters and I navigate complex themes of identity, heritage, and responsibility. We hope viewers find strength in embracing their unique identities, understanding their heritage, and feeling empowered.
8. Looking forward, what are your aspirations for the future, both individually and collectively as a family, and how could you see “Royal Rules of Ohio” evolving in future seasons?
Nana: Personally, I hope the viewers will get a chance to see how passionate I am about the arts. I am an aspiring actress who really enjoys sharing stories that are authentic and truthful. As a family, I want the viewers to continue to see the love we all share for each other. We may have our individual disagreements and arguments, but the love will never fade.
Don’t miss the next episode of “Royal Rules of Ohio” to witness the unfolding drama and the powerful dynamics of this unique royal family. Tune in to see how Thelma, Brenda, and Nana navigate their dual lives and the shocking decision that will leave everyone talking.
Summer is heating up and the WNBA is hotter than ever- and the league’s top ladies are showing that they’re not just insanely talented on the court, but they also have quite the eye for fashion. From the bright to the bold, we have a roundup of some of the hottest pre-game fits to kick off this record-breaking season.
Nneka Ogwumike is obviously a basketball genius…or is it JEAN-ius? Either way, the Seattle Storm forward looked stunning in her all-denim pre-game fit.Cowboy….Colson? Sydney Colson paired a full-length blue Vintage Denim Jacquard set with brown cowboy boots for the Las Vegas Aces’ season opener. Ezi Magbegor may already be dreaming of Olympic gold…or at least that’s what it seemed when the Seattle Storm star chose brightly colored gold metallic pants as her signature piece to pair with a collaborative Travis Scott WMNS bodysuit and neutral palette Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Retro Lows.Chicago Sky star Angel Reese rocked a sky blue fit with strategic cutouts ahead of the highly-anticipated (and ultimately controversial) game against the Indianapolis Fever. Betnijah Laney-Hamilton proved that black is always…the new black as she rocked a full black ensemble paired with muted gray Yeezy Boost 350 V2 sneakers for the New York Liberty’s first away game of the season. However, she wasn’t all business, adding a pair of hoop earrings, a cat-ear hat, and bright lipstick to make the outfit both fun and sleek at the same time. Naz Hillmon and Rhyne Howard showed that they’re on the varsity squad in bright vintage letter jacket-inspired looks. The Atlanta Dream duo kept it sporty on top, but glam on bottom with Hillmon rocking neutral color boots and Howard in strappy black heels.Skylar Diggins-Smith isn’t just a snack, she’s an entire Happy Meal…or at least that was the message she sent in this brightly colored pre-game fit that she wore before the Seattle Storm’s game against the Chicago Sky, likely leaving happy with her team’s win.Proving that she can rock a jumpsuit as well as a jump shot, Caitlyn Clark shows up to Gainbridge Fieldhouse ahead of the Fever’s matchup against the Chicago Sky in a simple dark denim jumpsuit with white heels and a small silver purse. No word if her and Nneka Ogwumike’s denim will have their own face off when the Fever faces the Storm again on June 27th.Olivia Nelson-Ododa went for a boho-chic vibe that may have sent a subliminal message. Upon closer inspection, her pre-game brightly colored overalls are actually made up of hundreds of eyes…possibly letting the world know that all eyes are on her and the other highly talented athletes of the WNBA who are finally getting the recognition that they deserve.Aja Wilson didn’t just announce that she had a shoe….she became a walking billboard for a link that went to Nike’s page announcing that her signature shoe, the A’One, will be arriving in 2025.Marina Mabrey is getting the bag, showing up to Chicago’s game against the Indiana Fever hoping to take someone to school in a pleated skirt, oversized windbreaker, white button down, versatile neutral combat boots, and a simple small white purse.Cameron Brink showed that she came to battle in a fit that looks like it could be used to do battle with dragons as the LA Sparks faced off against the Las Vegas Aces.
In April, fans of the rap duo City Girls were left in suspense after a public spat between Yung Miami and JT hinted at potential trouble. On Monday (June 3), Yung Miami confirmed the rumors: City Girls are taking a break from their group efforts.
During an interview with Complex, Miami detailed what led her to pursue a solo project. “I think when the City Girls album [RAW] just dropped, and it didn’t do too well, and we were just trying to do our press run. The whole rollout of the album was just so bad because we were in two different spaces,” she explained.
The album, despite featuring high-profile collaborations with artists like Usher, Lil Durk, Juicy J, Kim Petras, and Muni Long, only sold 10,000 copies. Tracks such as “Good Love,” “No Bars,” and “Work For It” were included in the 18-song collection but failed to make a significant impact.
Miami elaborated on the duo’s evolving dynamics: “We’re older now, and she was doing her own thing. She’s on the West Coast; I’m in Miami. I’m doing my own thing. And I felt like naturally, when she was doing her own thing, it just worked for her. And when I’m doing my own thing, it worked for me. But when we get together as a group, it just wasn’t connecting.”
Reflecting on their decision, Miami said, “It just wasn’t working no more. So, I think we both were at a point where we were just like, ‘We probably should just do our own s**t.’”
Earlier this year, Yung Miami released her first solo single in nearly three years, “50/50,” where she addressed her critics, including DJ Akademiks. In April, she followed up with “CFWM,” featuring Detroit’s Skilla Baby.
Meanwhile, JT has also been busy with her solo career, dropping tracks like “Sideways” and “OKAY” in anticipation of her debut EP, City Cinderella.
This hiatus marks a shift for City Girls, who have been a dominant force for women in the hip hop scene. While fans may be saddened by the pause in their joint efforts, the promise of fresh solo projects from both Yung Miami and JT offers an exciting new chapter for the artists and their followers.

The feud between rappers Cardi B and Bia has reached new heights with the release of diss tracks, threats of lawsuits, and leaked phone calls, all stemming from accusations of copying and infidelity rumors.
The conflict began when Bia released a new diss track targeting Cardi B after the “Jealousy” hitmaker threatened legal action over rumors that she had cheated on her husband, Offset. The situation escalated early Sunday morning (June 1), when Cardi B took to Instagram Live, threatening to expose her private conversations with Bia and sharing snippets of what she called a “Fake diss” from Bia.
Bia retaliated with her own Instagram Live session, where she previewed a diss track aimed at Cardi B. In the track, Bia not only reiterated the copying and cheating allegations but also brought Cardi’s children, Wave and Culture, into the fray. “Put it on your gang that they ain’t f### you in,” Bia rapped. “Put it on your hubby since you lying on your vows.” She further questioned Cardi’s songwriting abilities, implying she doesn’t write her own raps and mocking her lyrical skills. “’SUE ME’ ??? That’s not hip hop,” Bia captioned her post.
During her Instagram Live, Cardi B responded by sharing posts from what she claimed was Bia’s finsta (fake Instagram) account. “Good luck you think I’m Tasha K,” one post read, referencing Cardi’s previous legal victory against the blogger Tasha K. Cardi accused Bia of taking the beef beyond rap and attempting to disrupt her family. “I’m a sue you and you got to come with receipts. And not social media receipts, court receipts,” Cardi warned. “I will get every little f###### red penny that you ever f###### make b####. Every money that you make off your publishing. So find something safe to do.”
Cardi also played a snippet of another diss track from Bia’s alleged finsta account, with lyrics that included, “How you mad he cheating on you? B#### tell him the truth,” and “I’ll tell him the scoop.” Cardi questioned why Bia hadn’t confronted Offset directly if she knew any damaging information. “So b#### why you ain’t tell him the scoop?” she asked, accusing Bia of seeking clout.
The bad blood between the two artists started last year but has intensified recently, particularly after fans accused Cardi B of copying Bia. Bia seemingly agreed with these accusations, prompting Cardi to respond on the “Wanna Be” remix.
The Cannes Film Festival, known for its glitz and glamour, has recently been overshadowed by a series of controversial incidents involving a pushy usher. Over the past week, one particular usher has been caught on camera preventing several women of color, including YoonA, singer Kelly Rowland and actress Massiel Taveras, from fully enjoying their moment on the iconic red carpet. The usher’s actions, which included shooing the women up the stairs as they attempted to pose for the paparazzi, sparked accusations of racial discrimination.
However, recent developments suggest that the usher’s behavior might not be racially motivated but rather indicative of a broader issue. In a surprising turn of events, the same usher was caught tackling Miss Europe 2023, Ukrainian model Sawa Pontyjska, at the top of the Cannes Film Festival’s red-carpeted stairs. The incident with Pontyjska, a white model, adds a new layer to the unfolding drama and suggests that the usher may simply have a penchant for disrupting moments of glamour, regardless of the individual’s background.
The controversial usher’s behavior has drawn widespread criticism, prompting discussions about the treatment of celebrities and public figures at high-profile events. While Kelly Rowland and Massiel Taveras’ incidents initially highlighted concerns about racial discrimination, the usher’s actions towards Pontyjska point to a more generalized pattern of misconduct.
The Cannes Film Festival is now under scrutiny for the actions of its security personnel. Festival organizers have yet to issue a formal statement addressing the usher’s conduct, but the incidents have undoubtedly cast a shadow over the prestigious event.
Watch the video below.
