Blueface’s Mom Insists He Will Marry Megan Thee Stallion
Blueface is currently behind bars for an alleged parole violation, where he is likely to remain for the foreseeable future. The rapper was handed a four-year sentence earlier this month, though he expects to be home by March 2025. It remains to be seen what plays out in his case, but evidently, he could have some big things to look forward to once he gets out.
During a recent Instagram Live, Blueface’s mother Karlissa Saffold claimed that he’ll be marrying none other than Megan Thee Stallion, whether critics like it or not. This is far from the first time she’s advocated for the relationship. Blueface has yet to share how he feels about all of this, however.

Karlissa Saffold Announces Blueface’s Unofficial Marriage Plans
He’s believed to be back with the mother of his third child Chrisean Rock, who is also currently in prison. She’s yet to be formally sentenced, but reportedly, she could receive up to eight years. They still appear to be on good terms, though they’re likely not getting a lot of time to catch up considering the circumstances. Blueface also shares two children with Jaidyn Alexis, who Saffold says is no longer interested in her son. Despite this, she’ll “always be family,” according to the Aunt-Tea Podcast host.
As for Meg, she just hard launched her relationship with Chicago Bulls’ Torrey Craig. They did a couple’s TikTok challenge earlier this week to share the news, indicating that she’s not interested in rekindling things with Blueface. While this is certainly exciting for Meg and the athlete, it likely came as a major disappointment to Saffold, who’s been rooting for Meg and her son for months. What do you think of Blueface’s mother Karlissa Saffold insisting that he will marry Megan Thee Stallion? Do you agree with her or not?

Irv Gotti Is Reportedly In Recovery After Having A Stroke Earlier This Year
Pioneering record executive Irv Gotti is reportedly recovering from the effects of a stroke earlier this year, according to TMZ via fellow record producer Wack100. During a chat on Clubhouse, Wack100 said he was told by an employee of a rehab facility that Irv had suffered a stroke, and later shared a photo of the producer walking with a cane.
However, a representative for Irv told TMZ, “Irv has been struggling with diabetes for years, which caused him to have a minor stroke over six months ago. He has since changed his diet to eating more healthy. He’s been successful in making a full recovery. Irv is not in a rehab facility. He is at home with his family, enjoying life.”
Gotti previously talked on an episode of Drink Champs about how hard eating healthy had been after being diagnosed with diabetes, saying that he was also finding it difficult to stay consistent with his insulin. “But you know what’s f*cked up with diabetes?” he said. “Anything that you’re gonna like or tastes good, horrible for you. Now what’s some nasty sh*t? Broccoli… you supposed to eat some leaves or sh*t like that.”
However, he also acknowledged how widespread the condition is among certain populations. “It’s rampant with Black people,” he noted. “What it does is, it starts deteriorating your body.”
In July, Irv was sued for sexual assault — charges which he has denied.
Tinashe Is ‘Not Sure’ Why She Was Considered ‘Niche’ Before ‘Nasty,’ But She Loves Her ‘Great Career’ Regardless
Tinashe’s debut single, the Schoolboy Q collaboration “2 On,” was a top-40 favorite. After that, though, she had a Hot 100 dry spell that she just ended recently with the viral hit “Nasty.” Between those two events, though, Tinashe continued to make well-respected art and build a fan base for herself. As for why it took this long for her to enter the mainstream pop conversation, she’s not quite sure.
Tinashe and Kaytranada had a conversation for Interview, and Kaytranada asked, “So a lot of fans seem to be confused that you haven’t broken through as a mega pop artist until now. Why do you think that is?” Tinashe answered:
“I’m not sure why the zeitgeist has kept me in some type of niche category. But I’m in a great position. I have fans that love me, I’m able to tour, I’m able to make the art I want to make. So I’m pretty satisfied. As much as I want all the success and the accolades, I have such a great career, so I’m thankful. But I don’t know why. It could be the universe. It could be the way society’s set up. Being a Black woman in music is difficult. There’s been a lot of discrepancy over how to market me. In my early days, people were confused by my genre hopping and my lack of commitment to an urban direction.”
He then asked if she felt “pressure to cater to certain tastes,” and she answered, “I used to. Now I have the freedom to do whatever I want. But I did in my early days, like when I was signed to RCA after having just made my first mixtapes. I don’t think it was insidious, but over time I started making more and more compromises. They had these expectations of what kind of artist I was, and the type of music that I was making wasn’t aligning with their vision of either a pop star or an urban star. […] My first song was ‘2 On,’ basically. So right out the gate, the first thing I put out already felt like it was pigeonholing me in all these different ways that I immediately wanted to rebel against. And so, it all went down in such an interesting way.”

Tyrese Hints That His Upcoming Interview With Shannon Sharpe Could Do “Katt Williams Numbers”
Tyrese is a pretty interesting character. That can be attributed to the Californian actor and singer’s video clips, quotes, troubling relationships, and antics. Overall, all of these factors have made him quite the controversial pop culture figure in the eyes of a lot of people online. However, in that same breath, its lead him to receiving lots of interview requests, which have to be paying him pretty handsomely. Shannon Sharpe clearly sees what’s going on with Tyrese as of late, and its why we are getting a Club Shay Shay interview very soon.
In fact, the episode is currently in the middle of its premiere at the time of writing. Sharpe teased the interview on the Club Shay Shay Instagram account late last night, saying that they will be discussing their “internet-breaking videos”. They both have a lot of them, so it should be a ton of fun. However, Tyrese is taking it a step further, according to theJasmineBrand.
Fans Don’t See The Hype With A Tyrese/Shannon Sharpe Interview

In a short video clip, he believes that if the Club Shay Shay producers air their entire episode, then it could do “Katt Williams” numbers. At the time of writing, Katt’s viral and unhinged sit-down has over 73.5 million views and its one of the most-watched interviews on the platform. So, it will be a tall task if that was the goal for Tyrese, and fans seem to think he’s doing too much. “I don’t know if it’s Tyrese or his ego, but one of them is draining
”, one user expresses. “He should’ve just let the interview speak for itself 
Now the expectation will be too high and it won’t do as well 
”, another predicts. There should still be plenty to dissect, so be sure to stick around for more updates on this interview.

Usher Faces Clone Accusations As Uncanny Clip Goes Viral
Usher is known for his iconic shows, but amid his “Past Present Future” tour, fans think he may have called for backup. In a new clip making its rounds online, he’s seen standing onstage with a big grin, kicking off a performance of “Yeah!” Social media users were quick to point out that he sounded and looked off, and began to come to their own conclusions. Many are now convinced that the man onstage was not the real Usher, but instead, a clone.
“That ain’t no damn Usher,” one Instagram user writes in The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments section. “He told yall he needed a break lol now yall got the temu usher,” another speculates. Of course, it’s completely possible that Usher was just having a rough night. This would explain why he sounded different than he usually does. It’s also possible that he was dealing with technical difficulties and couldn’t hear himself.

Usher Doesn’t Seem Like Himself, Fans Claim
Earlier this month, Usher also postponed the first three dates of his tour because he suffered a neck injury during rehearsals. “My hope was that with physical therapy and medical treatment, I would be able to overcome the injury and be ready for opening night,” he told his supporters. “Unfortunately, the injury has not healed yet, and my doctors have instructed me not to perform any shows this week.” While he went on to deliver electric performances at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., it’s likely that he’s still not at 100%.
This would be yet another reasonable explanation for the mishap, though it’s unconfirmed whether or not this was the cause. What do you think of people accusing the Usher in this viral clip of being a clone? Are you buying it or not?
