Usher Speaks On “Crazy”  Experience Living With Diddy At 13 In Resurfaced Clip

Usher recalled the “wild” experience of living with Diddy at 13 years old for the Bad Boy mogul’s Puffy Flavor Camp during an interview with Howard Stern back in 2016. The interview is resurfacing amid rumors that Diddy was engaged in a sexual relationship with the singer. The allegations stem from Rodney Jones’ lawsuit against Diddy accusing him of sexual assault. The filing mentions Diddy bragging about a sexual relationship with a singer who performed at the Super Bowl and who hosted a successful Las Vegas residency.

“I got a chance to see some things. I went there to see the lifestyle, and I saw it,” Usher said. “It was pretty wild. It was crazy.” He added that he felt like a little brother at the time. “They called me Baby Boo,” he recalled. Further speaking on their relationship, he added: “He wasn’t disciplinary. He was letting me be a young man.” Usher went on to describe him as family. “He was always a family member from afar, so I never felt a disconnection,” he said. “I will always look at him like a brother.” As for whether he would send his kids to Puffy Flavor Camp, however, Usher clarified: “Hell no!”

Stephen A. Smith & Howard Stern Clash About Whether Travis Kelce “Needs” Taylor Swift

Stephen A. Smith butted heads with Howard Stern on the topic of Travis Kelce. Stern had been dismissive of Kelce, saying that the tight end would “have to marry Taylor Swift” in order to earn “a movie career to rival that of The Rock”. However, Smith vehemently disagreed. “He is a two-time Super Bowl champion, he’s on the verge of potentially being a three-time Super Bowl champion. Universally recognized as one of the greatest tight ends in the history of football. Good looking dude, got style, got flair, got skills. He’s got a future in this business. He’s the total package. He’s a really, really good dude,” the ESPN personality argued.

It’s not the first time that such an argument has been made. The hosts of The View also discussed a similar issue in late 2023. They debated what they believed Travis Kelce was “hiding” about his relationship. “Some of the things he said raised some red flags for me. He said, ‘The biggest thing to me: Make sure I don’t say anything that would push Taylor away.’ What is he hiding then? For me, I want to know the good, the bad and the ugly up-front,” Sunny Hostin said of Kelce’s recent interview with the Wall Street Journal. Meanwhile, Sara Haines said she was concerned that Kelce admitting to “thinking constantly about retirement”. However, Joy Behar came to Kelce’s defense. She dismissed any notion that Kelce was looking to leave football to “live off” Swift.

Taylor Swift Becomes Target Of NSFW AI Art

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift has become the victim of NSFW AI deepfakes. Many of the images showed Swift in sexual situations with Travis Kelce, other Chiefs players, and even faceless masses of Chiefs fans. As a result, the singer’s fans got #PROTECTTAYLORSWIFT trending on social media in an attempted fight back against the images. Swifties began posting images of their notifications, full of messages about post reports that they had made. Swift herself has not commented on the incident. However, it is likely she was made aware of the disturbing images.

Furthermore, the incident sparked a wider conversation about the role of AI in pornography. Additionally, Swifties were able to identify the person they claimed was the primary perpetrator behind the wave of AI images. However, this also quickly became a meme as people began tagging random accounts and claiming they were the perpetrators of the trend. However, the viral nature of the images highlights a disturbing trend within the use of AI art, especially when weaponized against celebrities.

Donald Trump Blasts Howard Stern During Overnight Rant On Social Media

Donald Trump slammed his former friend, Howard Stern, in a lengthy rant on his media platform, Truth Social, in the middle of the night. At approximately 2:00 AM, EST on Saturday, the former president labeled Stern “disloyal” and accused him of going “woke.”

“The real Howard Stern is a weak, pathetic, and disloyal guy, who lost his friends and MUCH of his audience,” Trump posted. “Until just recently, I haven’t heard his name mentioned in years. I did his show many times in the good old days, and then he went Woke, and nobody cares about him any longer. I don’t know what they (really!) pay him, but it shouldn’t be much. His influence is gone, and without that, he’s got NOTHING – Just a broken weirdo, unattractive both inside and out, trying like hell to be relevant!”

The comments come after Stern criticized Trump during a recent episode of his radio show. He had described “woke” as a “compliment.” “To me the opposite of woke, is being asleep,” he said. “And if woke means I can’t get behind Trump, which is what I think it means, or that I support people who want to be transgender or I’m for the vaccine, dude call me woke as you f*cking want.” He went on to reflect on his appreciation for the COVID-19 vaccine. “Fucking science. This fucking country is so great,” he added.

Attacking Stern wasn’t the only topic of Trump’s late-night rant. He also went after Joe Biden, his handling of the United Auto Workers strike, electric cars, and China. “This wasn’t Biden’s idea, he can’t put two sentences together. It was the idea of the Radical Left Fascists, Marxists, & Communists who control him and who, in so doing, are DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY!” Trump wrote.

Howard Stern Is Lamenting Not Being Invited To The Late Jimmy Buffett’s House, And He Thinks He Knows Why

With his show back from summer hiatus, Howard Stern paid tribute to the late Jimmy Buffett and the shock jock seemed to genuinely regret never getting a chance to hang out with the legendary musician. The two actually lived close to each other, but Buffett never extended an invitation to Stern, and he’s pretty sure he knows why.

“I think I didn’t meet him because probably I said like, sh*tty stuff about his music on the radio,” Stern said via Mediaite. “I guess he [maybe] took offense to that. I wasn’t a big parrot head. I mean, I don’t know. I don’t mean this in any disparaging way. He seems like a real nice guy. And anyone who can make a hit song I admire, but I wasn’t really into ‘Margaritaville.’ I guess, I don’t like it. You know, it doesn’t move me in the way that music normally does. It’s a catchy tune, though.”

According to Stern, he actually sat around hoping for a Buffet invite, and it just never came.

“I always thought I was going to run into that guy because he lives out by me,” Stern explained. “He knew a lot of the same people that I was hanging out with. And I was always waiting for an invite to Jimmy Buffett’s house because he invited a whole bunch of famous dudes and stuff that I knew.”

Of course, pondering over the lack of hanging with Buffet didn’t stop Stern from doing what he does best. Openly sharing his thoughts even if it’s not exactly the best time for them.

“The guy loved the outdoor life. He loved being outdoors. And guess what killed him? Skin cancer,” Stern said. “That’s f*cked up. He had a rare skin cancer.”

[WATCH] Blackface Video Of Howard Stern Resurfaces Following Black NBA Player Comments

Screen Shot 2023 05 05 at 9.57.59 PM

This week, Howard Stern shocked listeners when he black NBA players must be racist when they won’t speak to him when he’s courtside at Madison Square Garden in NYC. Now old video of him performing a skit in blackface has resurfaced raising eyebrows.

Stern, who is 69 years old, said he’s often ignored by Black NBA players who come over and embrace black stars seated right next to him.

“The Black players won’t come over and say hello to me,” Stern complained during Monday’s broadcast of his popular radio show on SiriusXM.

“The Knicks have been very kind to me,” Stern told Mediaite. “They put me right in the front row. That’s when I knew I was famous. When I, you know, I have courtside [seats], they put me courtside, and the Black players won’t come over and say hello to me, but they go over to Spike Lee.”

Stern’s co-host, Robin Quivers asked if the players acknowledge him at all.

“No. I’ll be sitting next to Tracy Morgan or Chris Rock,” Stern replied. “And a lot of times when I’m there, I’m next to Tracy Morgan, who is so funny. And he’s sitting there and like, couple of the players will come over. They, like, give him that bro shake and stuff,” Stern continued. “And I’m like — these guys should hug me too.”

Stern added: “I mean, what am I? I grew up in a black neighborhood, you know what I mean? I mean they should know that. But I get ignored.”

Quivers then asked Stern if he believed it was “a racial thing” because he is white.

“I’m sure they talk to some white people,” Quivers said.

“No, not that I saw,” Stern answered. “I want them to talk to me. I want them to come up and go, ‘Hey Howard, fan of the show’ or something. I don’t get that. And, you know who comes up to me sometimes — the referees. They’ll come up to me – white referees and Black. Like, ‘Hey, Howard, hey.’ But yeah, a lot of the white referees. So I’m like, ‘Oh, is everything racial now? Can I get a shout-out from some of the players?’”

“Maybe they don’t like me,” he added. “I don’t know. I’d like to think it’s a white thing, not my personality. I hope it’s racial. That’s all.”

Ironically the video below resurfaced during the social media dragging with many thinking it’s odd that Stern expects 20-year-old ball players to tell them they’re his fans. The skit popped up after Stern accused NBA players of being racist.

LaNisha Cole Showers Baby Onyx In Love After Nick Cannon Forgets Her Name In Howard Stern Interview

As hard as Nick Cannon tries to maintain peace among his 12 children and six baby mamas, he obviously can’t always succeed. Earlier this week, the media personality took a huge L during an interview with Howard Stern. At the time, he was facing the challenge of listing the names of all his offspring. While he nearly nailed it, he forgot to include LaNisha Cole’s seven-month-old daughter, Onyx Ice Cole, in his list, earning Cannon significant backlash online, as well as a telling message posted on Instagram from his sixth baby mama. As per Page Six, the Story appeared on the model’s account on Thursday (April 13), giving some insight into her feelings on the situation.

“My whole world…” she previously wrote over an adorable photo of her growing baby in an animal-themed outfit. “The most beautiful little girl. I will do everything I can every single day to make sure she knows how special she is and how much I love and adore her,” Cole publicly pledged. In another slide, this one a much more serious black screen with white text, the 41-year-old reminded others in the online space that living life in the public eye is far from easy.

LaNisha Loves Her Baby Girl

“It’s not normal to have your life play out in front of an audience,” the mother of one began, “but this is the age we live in. That being said… No person’s path is linear. There’s going to be blind curves, peaks, valleys, and sometimes we make wrong turns or run into dead ends.” If this happens to you, Cole suggests that you “simply correct course and get back on your forward-moving path.” While things may look picture-perfect from the outside looking in, LaNisha made it known that she “[prays] every day for strength guidance and peace.”

Her heartfelt message came to an end with, “To all the moms out there, take care of your heart with the same love and patience you have for your babies. It’s not always easy but we were built for this ❤❤❤.” Revisit Nick Cannon’s awkward interview moment with Howard Stern below, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Nick Cannon Forgets His Daughter’s Name

Nick Cannon Forgets Daughter’s Name In Stern Interview

Nick Cannon’s large family is a topic that has been covered extensively. The musician and television host currently has 12 children with six women. As Howard Stern put in a recent interview, “If he’s not working, he’s fucking.” Cannon’s oldest children are his twins Moroccan and Monroe, who are 11. His youngest child is 4-month-old Halo. Over the weekend, Cannon shared Easter-themed photos alongside his son, Legendary.

Cannon has typically taken the conversation about his family in stride. Last year, he released a shopping channel parody in which he joked about his “big ass family”. However, 12 kids means 12 names to remember. And for a man as busy as Cannon, that can be a big task. Especially when you’re on national radio suddenly being asked to name all 12.

Nick Cannon Forgets Daughter Onyx’s Name

Appearing on the Howard Stern show on Tuesday, the topics of conversation ranged from whether Cannon would get a vasectomy to wanting kids with Taylor Swift. As the conversation stayed on Cannon’s large family, Stern asked the TV star to name all 12 of his children. Cannon began to list his children in age order but was stopped when Stern told him he had “missed one”. When Cannon repeated part of the list, Stern informed him he had missed Onyx Ice Cole. Onyx is Cannon’s daughter with LaNisha Cole, born in September 2022.

Cannon, who was able to name all 12 last month on The Shade Room, tried to deflect the mistake, saying Stern had “threw him off.” Stern briefly lamented “poor Onyx” and joked that the mistake would likely land Cannon in trouble before the conversation moved on. Previously in the interview, Stern had joked about the “theory” that Cannon has so many kids so he can find a kidney donor. It was a small hiccup in a long and wide-ranging interview, but social media was quick to jump on Cannon’s omission. However, there has not been a report of any public backlash from Cannon’s family. It was like a mistake made in the pressure of the moment and Cannon was big enough to own up to when called out. Maybe Cannon needs to carry a list around with him, just in case he is asked again.
