Draya Michele’s Ex Boyfriend Tries To Evict Her From Their L.A. Home

December 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Draya Michele and her ex boyfriend, Tyron Taylor, did not end on good terms. The model ended her relationship with the former NFL star recently. There was an attempt to work out a civil living situation, in which Michele would rent out the L.A. property that Taylor bought for the both of them. Taylor, however, is not thrilled with this arrangement. The Neighborhood Talk reports that the former NFL star has tried to call the police a dozen times on Draya Michele. His intention? To get her evicted from the property.

The plan, per In Touch Weekly, was for Draya Michele to rent and eventually purchase the L.A. property from Tyron Taylor. Things quickly took a turn for the worse, however, when Michele started a relationship with Jalen Green. Shortly after Michele and Green’s relationship went public, Taylor apparently changed his mind. He allegedly filed an eviction lawsuit against Michele, without telling her. Draya Michele entered a default judgement as a result, claiming that she was never properly served. Taylor’s rebuttal is that he sent the eviction notice via mail, and is therefore not responsible for her lack of awareness.

Draya Michele Claims Her Ex Backed Out Of Their Deal

Draya Michele’s stay has not been a comfortable one, as a result. The model claimed that she got a call from a nanny while away on business in November. She stated, via court documents, that sheriffs were called to the property and telling the nanny, as well as her children, that they had to leave. “The sheriffs were at the subject property to lock the occupants out of the subject property,” Michele added. Michele contacted her lawyers, who sprung into action and prevented the lockout. The model claims that it was only after this encounter that she learned of Taylor’s eviction notice.

Draya Michele claimed she originally tried to purchase the property for $2.8 million. Taylor countered, allegedly, with $3.2 million, which the model accepted. Michele stated that she has paid $19,000 per month in rent, in addition to spending $270,000 on home renovations. She accused her ex of failing to uphold his end of the deal. Taylor, on the other hand, has denied any wrongdoing. His lawyers reported that Michele has only been able to produce an “unsigned lease, an unsigned purchase agreement, and emails evidencing at most negotiations.” There’s clearly more to come in this property saga.

Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence Will Now Be In-Laws After Kids’ Engagement

December 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence are two legendary entertainers who have crossed paths quite often, but they will now be closer than ever. Moreover, Murphy’s son Eric just proposed to Lawrence’s daughter Jasmin, and following their engagement, the two comedy stars will now be in-laws. “We’re engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny. We couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter,” Eric Murphy and Jasmin Lawrence captioned an Instagram post announcing their engagement. The two started dating back in 2021, and their parents have had a lot to say about their relationship and its development.

“That’s not how it goes,” Eddie Murphy joked in response to Martin Lawrence saying that Murphy should cover their kids’ wedding costs, which was certainly not his idea. “My daughter just got married, and I had to pay — really had to pay. You have to do the same, Martin. Don’t try to switch it up — don’t try to change no s**t, do no Hollywood switch. You’re paying for the wedding. If it goes down, Martin is paying. And the wedding better be wonderful.”

“They’re both beautiful; they look amazing together,” Eddie Murphy had also expressed concerning the relationship between his son and Martin Lawrence’s daughter. “If they ever get married and have a child, I am expecting the child to be funny.” Considering that Eric and Jasmin come from a pretty legendary comedic legacy, then we would also expect the same of their child. But let’s not box the little one in just yet or limit how Eric and Jasmin feel, for that matter. This is a very exciting time for everyone involved, and the future will hold so many more special moments.

Meanwhile, while Eddie Murphy might make a return to the Shrek series, Martin Lawrence recently revealed his GOAT rapper. “I would have to say Snoop Dogg for me,” he shared during his appearance alongside Will Smith on the “GOAT TALK” YouTube series from Complex. “Because Snoop’s always come through for me. He’s done my show and has always been excellent. And he’s a good friend of mine.” Congrats to Eric and Jasmin!

Jaidyn Alexis Indulges In Some Thirst Traps As Blueface & Chrisean Rock Drama Heats Up

December 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While Blueface and Chrisean Rock continue to fuel marriage rumors and leave fans wondering as to their status, Jaidyn Alexis would much rather continue her lack of a bother. Moreover, she recently took to social media to post some new thirst traps, and we’re sure that Blue’s ex is very happy to stay mostly out of the loop on whatever’s happening with his saga. The couple continues to draw a lot of attention online, whether for their legal situations behind bars or for their ever-complicated and usually combative family dynamics. Alexis has mostly stayed on the sidelines as of late, so she might not be feeling as overwhelmed as usual with all the antics.

Of course, many of those are by design, but Jaidyn Alexis is always going to find the right time to fall back into things. For example, Blueface’s mother Karlissa Saffold recently chastised Chrisean Rock for seemingly shading Jaidyn on her birthday. As such, she didn’t really have to respond or address the situation further online, because when Saffold’s got your back, you can rest assured that she will leave no Internet stone unturned.

Jaidyn Alexis Dodges Blueface & Chrisean Rock Rumors With Thirst Trap

Apart from Jaidyn Alexis, though, Blueface and Chrisean Rock have many more questions to answer about more than just thirst traps. Karlissa Saffold hopes his face tattoos of Rock are just fake, and that they aren’t actually getting back together like they hinted. “Oh my god, I had the worst nightmare in the world,” Saffold remarked. “I had a dream last night that John tattooed Chrisean Rock’s name on his face. And then I had a dream that he covered it up, and it said ‘Christian.’ Hallelujah. He gonna get it together, Lord. Ain’t he?”

Meanwhile, Jaidyn Alexis will still check fans who claim that she’s happy for Blueface and Chrisean Rock’s troubles and struggles. “Sometimes y’all piss me off,” she retorted to a fan on Instagram Live. “‘How you so happy?’ B***h, I’m working. This is work. Talking about ‘I’m happy.’ You disgust me. Someone’s gotta do it… Sometimes I think y’all don’t realize that real life happens in real-time. And sometimes y’all dumb as f**k. No shade at all.”

Orlando Brown Shocks Fans By Claiming He Slept With His Parents

December 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Orlando Brown often goes viral for all the wrong reasons, and his most recent antic might just take the cake. Moreover, the actor recently appeared on Deshae Frost’s livestream and made everyone that was with him uncomfortable by issuing out yet another ridiculously inappropriate claim. “‘We listen and we don’t judge,’” he read something on Frost’s screen. “I had sex with my mama and my daddy. ‘We listen and we don’t judge!’ I got a baby with my mama and my daddy. ‘We listen and we don’t judge!’ And I’m telling you the motherf***ing truth! […] Thank you for giving me some p***y. I love my mom for that, you know? She taught me how to f**k like a man. My own mother did.”

Of course, this is beyond bizarre, and it’s entirely likely that Orlando Brown is just trolling here and taking things about as far as he can push them. Whether or not that desensitizes the comments themselves or makes them any less creepy or uncomfortable is up to your own personal view. But it certainly lines up with all the other absurdities that he’s spouted over the years.

Orlando Brown’s Latest Ridiculous Statement

“This is another crucial example of when we allow our young artists to be prematurely exposed by this demonic business and left out to fend for themselves,” Nick Cannon responded to Orlando Brown’s wild claims about him. “We need better support systems for our youth and take care of our own. I watched various of this young brother’s videos and all I see is a cry out for help.” These continued antics are just adding fuel to that fire, although it’s hard to tell how much of it is by design. Either way, we’re sure more developments will be just as controversial in the future.

Meanwhile, some of Orlando Brown’s viral moments are not as shocking, inappropriate, or creepy, but rather just very animated. For example, Brown recently chimed into the Super Bowl halftime show controversy surrounding Lil Wayne and Kendrick Lamar, positing that Weezy would be a terrible pick. Hopefully he engages more with these hot takes and not ones involving incest…

Orlando Brown Claims To Know Why Mariah Carey Left Nick Cannon In Buckwild Rant

December 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Orlando Brown is not letting go of his bombshell claims that he made about Nick Cannon about four years ago. If you don’t remember, the former Disney Channel actor accused the Wild ‘N Out host of performing oral sex on him. “And I liked it. It was OK,” Brown said in a video viewable here. “But everybody knows you did it as a female.” Instead of berating him, Cannon took the high road, responding out of concern rather than hate. “This is another crucial example of when we allow our young artists to be prematurely exposed by this demonic business and left out to fend for themselves. We need better support systems for our youth and take care of our own.”

Cannon continued, “I watched various of this young brother’s videos and all I see is a cry out for help.” It’s worth noting that Brown has suffered from addictions and mental health issues for a bit now. But after fast forwarding to the weekend, it’s possible that he’s still dealing with it. Or he firmly stands by what he said back then, because he’s making the same claims again.

Orlando Brown Accuses Nick Cannon Of The Same Deed Again

Orlando was the first guest for Deshae Frost’s own version of a subathon event, and let’s just say it didn’t get off to the best start. Overall, he feels Cannon’s alleged past actions are what ultimately led to Mariah Carey leaving him. “When it came down to Nick Cannon, he do really like to suck cannons and that’s what he does. He sucked a good cannon on me,” Brown began in his unhinged rant. “Nick, you sucked my d**k! And don’t you ever forget it. That’s why Mariah Carey left you’re a** and you are lying n****! Stop lying, running around here with Kevin Hart.”

He ran with Hart and Cannon possibly having a relationship of their own by referencing the llama gift back in 2021. “What, you running around with Kevin Hart for a break? You are sending animals to his house and why you all sending animals to each other? You ni***s look weird doing that kind of s*** by the billboards with people’s faces on it.” But that’s not all. Brown decided to take it another step further, dropping the F-word on stream. “You’re hurting yourself every time you don’t admit to yourself that you are a f***ing fa**ot!” Deshae Frost was left quite speechless during all of this but was immediately panicking after that latter comment. “Twitch please, don’t just ban me. I worked so f***ing hard, please!” With all of that said, will Nick be the bigger man? Or will he drop the hammer on Orlando?

Jennifer Lopez Makes Jaws Drop In See-Through Tops

December 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jennifer Lopez continues to command attention with her bold fashion choices, stepping out over the holiday weekend in a daring sheer ensemble. The singer and actress turned heads during a Saturday night outing at Cipriani, an upscale Italian eatery in Beverly Hills, where she effortlessly blended elegance with edge. Since 1997, Jennifer Lopez has been regarded as one of the most beautiful people in the world. In 2022, she insured her butt for $28 million.

Lopez wore a see-through top paired with a high-waisted brown skirt, exuding confidence and sophistication. She completed the look with matching brown boots and a sleek handbag, underscoring her reputation for impeccable style. As always, J.Lo made a statement, turning an ordinary late-night dinner into a moment of high fashion. Her weekend appearances weren’t limited to glamour; the day before, she was spotted embracing the holiday spirit with a Black Friday shopping spree in Los Angeles.

J-Lo Still That “Chick” In See-Through Shirt

A post shared by TMZ (@tmz_tv)

Jennifer Lopez’s focus on film has been apparent, but her music has yet to capture the same resonance. Still, her ability to stay in the spotlight through fashion, film, and personal storytelling ensures she remains a figure of fascination. Whether navigating professional challenges or redefining herself, J.Lo’s blend of glamour and resilience keeps her a compelling force in pop culture.

Despite her undeniable presence, Lopez has faced mixed fortunes in her recent career ventures. Her latest project, This Is Me… Now, a $20 million multi-platform exploration of her reunion with Ben Affleck, has drawn attention for its nostalgic premise. Two decades after their romance derailed, Lopez’s return to this chapter of her life has sparked both curiosity and criticism. Jennifer’s debut album, On The 6, dropped 25 years ago this year. The album featured Fat Joe, Big Pun, and Marc Anthony. Lopez would marry Anthony after multiple collaborations and had fraternal twins together.

TD Jakes Reveals He Underwent Emergency Surgery Following Health Scare

December 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

TD Jakes is still recovering from his medical emergency earlier this month, and addressed his church virtually to give them his first update on the matter. “I’m grateful for this season in my life,” he began. “I told you last Sunday that I’d see you this Sunday, and so here I am. I am grateful to God for his goodness and his grace. Many of you don’t realize that you’re looking at a miracle. I faced a life-threatening calamity, was rushed to the ICU unit, I had emergency surgery, survived the surgery. Yeah, I’m back. And the doctor wants me to go slow coming back.”

However, this comes after Bishop T.D. Jakes suggested that a Diddy accuser’s legal team is what provoked the stress that led to this emergency. “These accusations are patently false,” he claimed via a defamation lawsuit against fellow pastor Duane Youngblood, who accused Jakes of trying to sexually assault him when he was 18 or 19 years old. “Bishop Jakes never kissed or tried to kiss Youngblood, never cornered him or forced him into any situation (sexual or otherwise), and certainly never told him that he wanted to sleep with him or had any conversation of a sexual nature at all with him.

Bishop TD Jakes Addresses His Congregation

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

“The interactions described by Youngblood during his LRL interviews on October 28 and November 3 never happened — period,” T.D. Jakes alleged. “This lawsuit is intended to bring that scheme to a halt. To end the extreme emotional, physical, and spiritual toll Defendants’ conduct has caused Bishop Jakes, to set the record straight so the world understands the patent falsity of the accusations, and to restore Bishop Jakes’s reputation.”

Now that Bishop T.D. Jakes is in a more stable condition, it’s likely that he will return to his church soon enough and continue to connect with his congregation. However, we understand that it’s a very complicated situation and that we don’t know many important details about this, so we’ll see how this works out. In any case, we wish Jakes the best in his path to recovery and hope that he can carry out his mission and engage with his passion sooner rather than later.

Nicki Minaj Shares Shady Message For Kai Cenat’s Mother After Thanksgiving Shout-Out

December 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj is certainly no stranger to throwing shade, but social media users recently noticed an unexpected target. Kai Cenat hosted a holiday stream last week, and his mother joined to wish his supporters a happy Thanksgiving. She was even sure to give Nicki Minaj and her Barbz a shoutout, expressing hopes that the femcee and her son enjoy the special occasion.

Instead of sending a similarly positive message her way, however, Nicki took the opportunity to look back on one of the more disappointing moments from her own stream with Cenat. At the time, she had been promised a home-cooked meal but ultimately left hungry. “He said where his plate that yall didn’t have for his mama when she visited hungry that one time in ATL chi when she thought she was getting some good TRINI home cookin but instead she left with a headache & a glass of stale orange juice,” she wrote in response to Cenat’s mother’s message.

— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) November 29, 2024

Unsurprisingly, Nicki’s post has earned mixed reactions from fans. Some think she’s doing too much. Others point out that she was just joking, and that Cenat’s mother likely realizes this. After all, Nicki isn’t oblivious to the persona she’s become known for, as evidenced by a recent interaction with Keke Palmer. Palmer appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last month, where she recalled some solid advice the “FTCU” performer once shared with her. “Look, I don’t read the press,” Palmer remembered Nicki saying. “I don’t know everything that’s goin’ on’. But I just wanna tell you, nobody knows what it’s like when we turn off the lights and we gotta be with ourselves. So you do whatever you need to do to be good with you.”

Nicki had a playful response to Palmer’s story on X. “Ummmm…why would she even tell that story? doesn’t she know that could mess up the whole ‘bad guy’ thing?” she wrote. “Let’s see if she still laughin when she get hit w/that cease & desist chi.”

Tommie Lee Worries Fans With Hospitalization After Cryptic Domestic Violence Tweet

December 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tommie Lee’s fans are concerned, as she recently shared a video of herself in what appears to be a hospital. In the clip, she’s seen filming from her hospital bed and chatting with loved ones, seemingly in good spirits. While it remains unclear exactly what landed the reality star in the hospital, and what her injuries are, her supporters are hoping she’s able to make a full recovery.

Social media users are also looking back on a series of cryptic tweets she posted in November. In one of them, she mentioned domestic violence. “They’ll be more thanksgivings in the future I’ll walk again my outlook is always positive thankful for my friends and family that’s riding this out with me [prayer emoji]. Love yall more than anything!” one of them reads. “It’s cr*zy how when I look back at the videos in Jamaica I see the hatred clear as day, but I be so much in my own lil world I missed the signs smh this is wild man!” another says.

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

Perhaps the most worrying tweet fans are reflecting on simply says “Domestic violence = death.” She went on to reference a recent trip to Jamaica, calling it the “worst trip ever.” For obvious reasons, fans are demanding answers, and wishing her the best amid her hospitalization. This is far from the first time she sparked concern this year, however. She’s also run into her fair share of legal trouble in recent months. Back in June, for example, she was arrested outside of a nightclub in Miami for alleged battery.

Last month, while filming her new Zeus series Tommie Sh*t, she was also informed that there was a warrant out for her arrest. She quickly ran out of the room instead of addressing the issue, however, and a clip of it quickly went viral.
