The Game & Monica’s Steamy Bathtub Scene In “Letters” Music Video Gets Thumbs Down From Her Son

Like many other starlets stepping into their 40s, R&B singer Monica is proving that age is just a number – and you’re certainly never too old to turn up the heat. She may not be putting her personal love life on blast, but the black-haired beauty did get up close and personal with The Game for her latest music video, which she’s been previewing on Instagram for a few days now. In one teaser posted to her profile, Monica is seen getting cozy with the “Hate It Or Love It” hitmaker in the bathtub, bubbles keeping them (somewhat) modest in front of the camera.

As per Complex, 15-year-old Romelo Montez Hill obviously wasn’t feeling his mom’s post. “Yo what is this,” the teen wrote in the comments, markedly earning a laugh from many sympathetic fans who wouldn’t want to be in the same situation with their mom. Upon seeing the comment, Monica screenshotted it and shared it to her Story, writing “Somebody please tell Lil Daddy take a day off.”

When replying to him under her post, the 42-year-old assured Romelo, “SON… It’s like a movie!! Momma at work.” While Monica is fiending off the awkwardness from her son’s reaction to her video, The Game seems to be enjoying the attention coming his way.

“They said, ‘Make it make sense,’” he wrote in the caption, seemingly referring to the direction he was given on set. “I said, ‘No problem,’” the father of three added, including various receipts of him and Monica boo’d up in his post to back up his confident claims.

YNW Melly’s Murder Trial Stress Gave His Mother A Heart Attack, She Claims

YNW Melly’s ongoing double-murder trial has brought forth plenty of interesting revelations so far. It seems the proceedings have been particularly difficult on the mothers involved, especially those of the two victims – YNW Juvy and YNW SakChaser. Of course, there’s also the mother of Melly’s ex-girlfriend. She was brought to the stand as a witness for the prosecution last week. During her testimony, the woman made it abundantly clear that she and her daughter have felt as though they’re being threatened by law enforcement.

While that news was upsetting to hear, it dulls in comparison to claims from Melly’s own mother. She apparently suffered a heart attack due to her stress. Jamie King, who’s been in the courtroom regularly, used an Instagram Story to express her feelings earlier this week. “I’m deleting this app. I can’t be crying and making myself upset because of a lying clout chaser who won’t even show his face in court but care so much,” she vented over a black screen. “I had one heart attack already because of stress,” King added.

“I refuse to let this kill me, I try to be peaceful and respectful to all of you. I pray for everyone because I know it’s the right thing to do ❤️‍🩹,” King’s rant ended. Today (June 20), Melly is back in Broward County court as his trial resumes. As previously reported, he’s the first person facing new state laws that require a minimum 8-4 vote by a jury to convict with the death penalty.

In terms of other recent updates on the YNW Melly double-murder trial, the 23-year-old was officially denied a mistrial following the defense’s motion on his behalf. Regardless of this loss, attorney Bradford Cohen, who previously represented Melly, has shared his opinion that the prosecution will likely have a hard time proving that the accused killer is guilty for a number of reasons. Read all about the case’s latest information at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop news.

Blueface’s Mom Argues With Fan About Her Son & Chrisean Rock On IG Live: Watch

As she progresses in her pregnancy, 23-year-old Chrisean Rock continues to find herself caught up in drama with her baby daddy, Blueface, and his mother, Karlissa Saffold. A few days ago, the rapper’s family matriarch alleged on social media that her next grandchild will be a boy, after previously claiming that Rock was lying about the whole situation. Just last month, the young reality starlet revealed on Instagram Live that she had doubts about keeping her baby. Seeing as she’s now 20 weeks along and it’s far too late to consider an abortion, Chrisean has been soldiering on, even as the online berating from Blueface’s mother continues.

Over the weekend, Saffold went Live to get a few things off her chest as hundreds of fans tuned in. “I shouldn’t have been a part of that interview,” she yelled, referring to a recent sitdown of Rock’s during which Karlissa’s name came up in conversation. “It should’ve been about her music, my son. I shouldn’t have been a part of that interview. I’ve been added to every interview that they’ve ever done! So guess what? Somebody wants me here talking about it,” Blueface’s mom continued to rant, claiming that she’s a topic of discussion every time the Crazy In Love co-stars speak with the press.

Karlissa Saffold Vents About Blueface and Chrisean Rock

As the clip continues, Saffold and a fan obnoxiously argue about the validity of her claims. While the former asserts that Rock regularly refuses to skip questions from interviewers, the latter shut that down, saying that the Maryland native has done just that in the past. “I watch every interview, I’m tuned in. I follow Blue, I follow Rock, I follow you,” they clapped back at Karlissa, making their credentials abundantly clear.

After some more back-and-forth, the video cuts before the rapper’s embattled parent suggests they add someone else to the Live. In the comment section on @theneighborhoodtalk’s repost, many are expressing gratitude to have their mother instead of one who engages in such damaging, toxic online behaviour. “Aht Aht! You said if she really pregnant you would get off Instagram! 😂😂😂😂😂,” one user joked. “I wish this lady would go ahead and say she in love with her son and get it over with,” another added.

Rihanna & Baby Fenty Hit Up Louis Vuitton For A Paris Shopping Spree

If there’s anyone in full mommy mode right now, it would have to be Rihanna. The singer and her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, happily shocked the world with an announcement of her first pregnancy in January 2022. Their big news was followed by plenty of historic “Fashion Killa” moments, as well as the reveal of their second baby during her performance at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime show. It remains unclear exactly how far along the Bad Gal is at this point, or whether she’ll be having a boy or girl. However, she certainly hasn’t been shy about showing off her budding belly during her ongoing vacation in Paris.

Rocky and Rih first flew to the city earlier this month along with their son, known to the world as Baby Fenty. One of their initial stops was at Jay-Z’s performance in tandem with Louis Vuitton to celebrate Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol. Since then, fans and paparazzi have captured photos and videos of the Testing rapper filming a music video in Paris, while his girlfriend has been dining at fine restaurants and dropping bags at stores like Louis Vuitton.

Rihanna and Her Son Shop Till They Drop

On Friday (April 21), the 35-year-old and her firstborn stylishly stepped out to get their shop on. While Rihanna donned mid-wash jeans, a cropped multi-colour sweater, and a windbreaker to match, her little boy sat comfortably in her arm, rocking a Raiders bomber jacket over a grey sweatsuit. Even with a baby in her stomach and one to carry, the fashionista still opted to wear a pair of strappy heels, also carrying a monogrammed LV bag for her trip to the designer shop.

It remains unclear exactly what the “Rude Boy” hitmaker spent her money on, though cameras did catch her leaving the store with some new goodies in hand. Since announcing she’s with child once again, some of the best maternity looks we’ve seen from Rihanna have come from this trip to Paris. Keep scrolling to see more photos of her recent outfits, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Keke Palmer Dances With 5-Week-Old Son Leodis: “I Love Hanging With You”

If there’s anyone we’ve seen tackle the daunting task of motherhood with grace this year, it’s undoubtedly Keke Palmer. Since giving birth to baby Leodis Andrellton just five weeks ago, the actress has been open and honest about her journey on social media, admitting on at least one occasion that she was getting “cooked” by the job. While it was certainly an adjustment for her and her boyfriend Darius Jackson, they’ve passed every test so far with flying colours, and from the look of Palmer’s latest Instagram post, she’s becoming more comfortable each and every day.

On Sunday (April 2), the 29-year-old shared a heartwarming video of her and little Leo dancing at home, the infant sporting an adorable but hilarious expression on his tiny face. “And to think! Just last April Fools I ‘joked’ about being preggers,” Palmer reflected in her caption. “We manifested you, little buddy! I love hanging with you and you just be looking crazy like a caveman 🤣😍😘.”

Keke Palmer and Her Baby Boy Are Loving Life

Based upon his cute but funny face, Palmer is obviously under the impression that her son is “already tired of [her].” However, as someone in the comments pointed out, “That baby is gonna wake up one day and realize that Keke Palmer is his mother 😭,” which will surely be enough for Leo to forgive the Hustlers starlet for any embarrassing videos she posted in his first few months of life. Fellow industry icon Skai Jackson later dropped by the replies to share her thoughts, writing, “He said, ‘side EYE’ 😂😭. He’s sick and tired.”

Aside from her latest post, the Chicago-born entertainer shared a sweet photo dump in late March of her taking a walk with her little one in a stroller. “Mommy’ing is coming along if you were looking for an update. I have juggled quite a few careers but this is my greatest gig of all,” Keke Palmer wrote at the time, giving fans yet another positive update on her life. Keep scrolling to see some of the new mom’s sweetest Instagram moments so far, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Blueface’s Mom Is “The Most Toxic One” In His Relationship With Chrisean Rock, He Says

Blueface and Chrisean Rock are arguably one of the most well-known couples in hip-hop, but that doesn’t mean they’ve come anywhere close to achieving the title of “couple goals.” Rather, the pair have given the world a clear definition of what a toxic relationship is, even allowing theirs to play out in front of the cameras on Zeus’ Crazy In Love reality series. We’ve seen them get physical with each other, as well as different family members, and publicly bicker and beef about practically every topic under the Sun. Still, though, they end up continuously pulled back together, especially now that the 23-year-old is allegedly pregnant with her co-star’s baby.

Rock announced her pregnancy at the beginning of 2023, and we’ve seen witnessed her and Blueface go back and forth in their usual tumultuous nature. While he first denied paternity of the unborn child, he’s more recently been defending his second baby mama after she was caught consuming cannabis earlier this month. “Lots of women smoke weed until their last trimester there is no effect don’t shoot the messenger,” he wrote on Wednesday (March 29). Immediately after the Californian added, “I’m only tweeting the truth, [whether] it’s in her favour or not. I’m not [biased].”

Blueface Publicly Disses His Mom

Following those posts, the 26-year-old took the opportunity to ask his Twitter followers for their opinion regarding his on-again-off-again romance. “Who [do] you guys think is the more toxic [one] in the relationship? Blueface, or Rock 🤔?” he posted yesterday afternoon. In the replies, many were quick to clown the embattled artist, writing, “If you gotta ask, n*gga it’s you,” and “You… Your music says it all,” among other snarky responses.

Blueface appears to be unphased by the haters so far, though he did return to let them know who he thinks is causing problems with him and Rock. “I think my momma is the most toxic one in the relationship [for real] 😂,” the expecting father tweeted. Since Chrisean first announced her pregnancy, her beau’s mom, Karlissa Saffold, has been notably vocal about her disdain for the situation. Read her most recent comments about the reality starlet here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Damson Idris Tells Jimmy Fallon What His Mom Thinks Of His Acting: Watch

Damson Idris is perhaps best known for his work on FX’s Snowfall, though he’s been hard at work on plenty of other projects as well lately. Among them is his budding romantic relationship with Lori Harvey, as well as Donald Glover’s Swarm. In the latter, the English actor reportedly appears in just one episode as a love interest to Chloe Bailey, who’s a series regular. She recently revealed that he was able to make her first experience filming a love scene much less awkward, and they even laughed together while a bouncy ball separated their bodies away from the cameras.

With the recent premiere of Snowfall‘s sixth season, as well as the upcoming Amazon Prime Video release, it was the perfect time for Idris to make an appearance on The Tonight Show and catch Jimmy Fallon up on his life. During their chat, the 31-year-old revealed what his mother thinks of his career, sharing that she sometimes has trouble separating his antics on-screen from his real life. “I’m Nigerian, right?” he told the audience last week.

Damson Idris Appears on “The Tonight Show”

“So my mum, she didn’t know that this wasn’t real. She thought everything was real, right? The first time I had an on-screen kiss she was like, ‘Ah ah! Damsy! How can you cheat on your girlfriend? In front of your family!’” Idris animatedly recalled to Fallon. “So then, I get Franklin Saint, right? He’s obviously a drug dealer. She’s like, ‘Ah ah! So now you are selling cocaine?! In front of the whole world!”

The story elicited plenty of laughter from not only the late-night host but also the audience. Afterward, Fallon brought out a photo of Idris with his mother and other family members at the Snowfall season six premiere, proving she’s obviously embraced his drug-dealing ways. See the heartwarming image for yourself below, and check back later for more pop culture and hip-hop news updates.

Rihanna’s Son Looks Adorable In New Photos: “He Found Out His Sibling Is Going To The Oscars”

Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show last month was everything fans expected. Many thought the 35-year-old would announce her long-awaited follow-up to 2016’s ANTI after her return to the stage. Instead, she shocked the world by revealing that she’s with child once again, less than a year after the birth of her and A$AP Rocky’s baby boy.

In the time since the NFL Championship, fans of the Bad Gal have been eagerly waiting for updates on her pregnancy, her son, and her music career. She’s been showing off her budding bump here and there in stylish outfits, and on Sunday (March 5), she gave an update on her little one who’s already Earthside, as well as her next big performance. As you may have heard, Rihanna will be performing her “Lift Me Up” song from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack at the upcoming Oscars, and her baby boy was less than pleased to find out he’s not invited.

Rihanna Shows Off Her Baby Boy

“My son when he found out his sibling is going to the Oscars and not him,” she wrote in her Instagram caption. In the first selection from her carousel, we see the little one pouting and shedding tears in his playpen while looking up at the camera. “Swipe for a tb of my fat man,” the Barbadian singer added, encouraging followers to look at more content of her family life. In the video, we see the baby, looking much younger, babbling as he watches Rihanna on the screen.

In the final photo, his chunky arm will certainly melt your heart as mother and son watch what appears to be the “Lift Me Up” music video together. Though we still haven’t found out his name, fans of the Fenty Beauty founder are more than happy to gush over the adorable photos she shares. As her second pregnancy continues, many are hoping we’ll see similar maternity serves to the bold ones Rihanna stepped out in last time she was with child.

Preparing for Baby No. 2

Much like the last time she was expecting, RiRi has kept many details regarding her second child under wraps. Since she’s already welcomed a son, it’s been said (even by her father, Ronald Fenty), that she’s hoping for a girl this time around. Let us know if you’re excited about the “Desperado” singer’s Oscars performance in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Cardi B’s Face Tattoo: Rapper Says She “Loves” Ink Dedicated To Her Son

As a Libra, no one knows balance quite like Cardi B. The New Yorker obviously got her start from stripping, and later went on to appear on Love & Hip-Hop, only further growing her fanbase. Her songs are best known for their explicit, salacious nature – think “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion – yet they still earned her a Grammy for her debut album, Invasion of Privacy. While she’s certainly established herself as a bad bitch and a force to be reckoned with in the industry, she’s also become a mother in recent years.

Bardi and Offset’s oldest, Kulture, was born in 2018. She’s frequently appeared alongside her famous parents since her birth, whether on Instagram or out and about at events. In 2021, she became a big sister following the arrival of little Wave Set Cephus, who’s already nothing short of a fashion killer at just one year old. The 30-year-old loves to dress her children in stylish outfits and show them off to the world, but to truly prove her love for her offspring, Cardi got both of their names tatted.

Welcome to the World, Wave Set Cephus

For her 4-year-old daughter, the former stripper spelled out “Kulture” across one of her arms. By the time Wave was born, Cardi was ready to make an even more serious commitment, getting the young boy’s moniker inked on her face, just above her jawline in red. “I tatted my son’s name because I love him,” she explained at the time.

It’s been several months since she first debuted the unique piece, and from the sounds of her latest tweet, she’s only grown more fond of it. “I love my face tatt,” the “Clout” artist wrote on Thursday (March 2). Along with the message, she shared a close-up screenshot of her and Offset’s McDonald’s campaign. As she gazes lovingly at her husband, Cardi’s side profile reveals “Wave” written in cursive. She’s clearly a big fan of her body art, however, not everyone who saw the post is in agreeance.

Twitter Reacts to Cardi B’s Face Tattoo

“Now Cardi! I’m coming at you like a mom/grandma!” one user cautioned the black-haired beauty. “You have a beautiful beautiful face! (I actually think the tat looks good) but NO MORE!!! Don’t mess with perfection boo!!! Imma huge fan!!!! Sending nothing but LOVE.” Elsewhere, others joked about where she could get tribute tattoos for future babies, and showed off interesting artwork of their own.

Keep scrolling for more Twitter reactions to Cardi B’s face ink. Afterward, tell us which of the Hustlers actress’ tatts is your favourite in the comments. Make sure to check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Michael B. Jordan Apologizes To His Mom For Nearly Nude Calvin Klein Photoshoot

It’s Michael B. Jordan’s world, we’re just living in it. In recent weeks, the Black Panther actor’s name has been making headlines thanks to various impressive efforts on his part. Just last month he exciting job of hosting on Saturday Night Live, and his opening monologue certainly didn’t disappoint. At the time, he addressed his breakup from Lori Harvey, which shocked fans of the couple in mid-2022.

Aside from that, the 36-year-old star is gearing up for his directorial debut, Creed III to hit theatres. The film is set to release on Friday (March 3), alongside a fire soundtrack executive produced by J. Cole and his Dreamville crew. For the past few days Jordan has been attending red carpets and giving interviews about his upcoming project, as well as the racy Calvin Klein photoshoot he just dropped.

Michael’s Mom Knows He’s Got It Going On

On Monday (February 27), a collection of black and white images showing the California native’s chisled body in various pairs of CK underwear made their debut. As expected, it wasn’t long before thirsty replies began pouring in, chiefly on Twitter. From propositioning the actor for sexual favours to admitting to excessively zooming in on the images, users didn’t hold back when revealing their freaky fantasies abut Jordan.

While chatting with Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, the multi-talent admitted that he gave his mom, Donna Jordan, an apology before the NSFW images went public. “I was like, my mama gon’ have to see this. Let me call her and be like, ‘I’m sorry. It’s out here.’ My business all out in the streets — literally,” he joked. Regardless if his family matriarch approves or not, the reactions prove that Jordan is one step closer to beating those “corny” allegations.

Creed III is Around the Corner

The Creed III premiere is quickly approaching later this week, and ahead of that, Jordan has been hinting at the possibility of more projects to come in the “Creedverse.” Specifically, he mentioned the possibility of “a spin-off of the TV show, the animation or graphic novel, or a video game.” Read what else the director had to say here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
