During one of his recent performances in Charlotte, Yo Gotti invited his girlfriend Angela Simmons to join him onstage. The NYC native certainly made the most of her appearance, proudly waving to the crowd and blowing kisses as she made her entrance. She posed for a few moments before hugging the rapper and heading off stage.
The designer rocked a skin-tight black jumpsuit, which she complemented with the CMG chain gifted to her by her man at the beginning of this year. Fans, of course, went wild for her appearance, as the duo continues to be one of the sweetest couples in the world of hip hop. This isn’t the first time Yo Gotti invited his other half to join him onstage on his Gangsta Art tour, however. Earlier this month, she made another appearance while he performed his 2016 hit “Down In the DM,” stunning in an eye-catching red dress.
He shared a moment from her appearance on Instagram, showing his love for her in his caption. “Still [heart emoji],” he captioned the clip. His comments section is flooded with fans praising him for how well he appears to treat Simmons. After all, she’s inspired plenty of his songs, so it only seems appropriate for the audience to get a glimpse at who he’s been rapping about for all these years.
The pair first publicly confirmed their relationship in January, kicking off the new year as an item. Clearly, as they approach the one-year mark, things between them only continue to heat up. What do you think of Angela Simmons joining Yo Gotti onstage at his recent show? Are you a fan of her black jumpsuit? Should he bring her out at more of his performances?

Chrisean Rock has fans worried for her safety after her latest post on Twitter, in which she remarked: “Dying sounds easier then living sometimes.” The comments come after her latest incident with Blueface, in which he accused her of abandoning their child at 4:00 AM.
In response to the post, fans shared plenty of encouraging messages for Rock. “& just know the Blessing is around the corner when you start to feel this way, keep going…. You got this,” one replied. Another wrote: “Sounds easy but it’s a weak way out and does more harm for those that love you … gotta keep head up … take a break and few deep breaths… you’ve got a little one to guide along with showing how strong you really are. Never look down always up to brighter days.”

As for the incident with Blueface, the rapper went live on social media, earlier this week, to claim that he had to go rescue his son. “It’s crazy. My son ain’t got no parent at four in the morning. Nobody wanna watch him. She got Marsh[a] watching the baby at four in the morning,” he said, referring to Chrisean’s friend. “So she can what? Get some d*ck? Do a verse? F*ck a n***a? You a boof b*tch. Stopping us ’cause she wanna be a bad parent to a bad parent.” Rock eventually responded the next day, accusing him of fighting their babysitter. “It don’t matter who I was with,” Rock argued. “So, then I’m like, ‘he got the baby?’ He got in a car accident with the baby. It’s just some weird sh*t going on.” Check out Rock’s latest post on Twitter below.
A few hours after her initial tweet, Rock followed up: “I don’t really be trynna express my self in a negative way but damn sometimes I wonder why why why why why fr .” Be on the lookout for further updates on Chrisean Rock on HotNewHipHop.
Morgan Wallen, who has dominated the music charts this year, is now the subject of relationship rumors regarding the daughter of a baseball great. Wallen was spotted at the five-star Chiltern Firehouse restaurant and hotel in London’s Mayfair district alongside Josie Canseco, daughter of A’s great Jose Canseco. The pair reportedly had a “great time” for around two hours before Wallen left, per TMZ. It’s unclear how the pair became acquainted.
Wallen’s dating life has been something of a mystery since he split from ex-fiancee Katie Smith. He had brief flings with Paige Lorenze and Megan Moroney. However, TMZ was unable to ascertain if his dinner with Canseco was anything serious or just two friends grabbing a meal. Wallen has a son, Indigo, with Smith. Meanwhile, Canseco’s exes include Brody Jenner and Logan Paul. It remains to be seen if and when they will link up again in the near future.

However, Canseco isn’t the first famous face relating to the sports world that Wallen has hit up this year. Jimmy Butler shared a brief moment with Wallen after a concert Wallen did in Toronto in September. Obviously, that’s a long way for Butler to come given his base in Miami. However, the two men were clearly very happy to see each other. They reportedly chatted for a few minutes before going their separate ways after the show.
As mentioned, Wallen has been absolutely crushing it this year. His album, One Day At A Time, spent 15 weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200. That included an 11-week run between March and June. He has also spent #16 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Last Night”. That includes a dominant 10-week run between May and July. The song most recently topped the chart for two weeks in August.
Cardi B is having a tumultuous 2023. Her actions online have led to a ton of backlash and debates. It seems she is fighting a lot of inner demons right now, and it may be time for a fresh start in 2024, or possibly starting today. Very recently, many publications, including Bossip, have been reporting that the mother of two and Offset might be splitting up. The rumors started when Cardi posted this cryptic message on her Instagram Story. She wrote, “You know when you just outgrow relationships.”
She quickly followed that up with a second post, saying, “I’m tired of protecting people’s feelings…I GOTTA PUT MYSELF FIRST!” Both rappers also unfollowed each other on the platform. Things have now escalated further after Cardi went on IG Live to talk about setting yourself up for success. “You gotta rid of dead weight and when it comes to dead weight, I’ll say mentality, procrastination, laziness, and people. A lot of people are dead weight, too.”
The New York artist put the hammer down by imploring that next year is going to be about taking care of herself. It seems this newfound confidence sparked Cardi to post some natural photos of her body. She uploaded a photo of her in a matching army green bra and underwear set flexing her body. The caption on the Story post read, “NO EDIT.” It is happy to see Cardi feel comfortable in her skin and hopefully, with all of the changes she wants to make she will be in a better place moving forward.
What are your initial thoughts on Cardi B’s recent Instagram post showing off her unedited body? Do you think she and Offset are actually through, or is she referring to other people in her life? Does she have a valid point about what she had to say in her messages about New Year’s resolutions? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Throughout 2023, there have been many surprising celebrity breakups. The year seems to have a few more surprises in store. Deion Sanders and Tracy Edmonds have now also, unexpectedly called it quits on their relationship. As of this moment, it’s still a wonder why Sanders and Edmonds have called off their engagement after being together for over a decade. Nonetheless, as the story develops, here’s a view of the pair’s relationship timeline.
2012: Deion Sanders & Tracey Edmonds Meet

Deion Sanders and Tracey Edmonds, now both 56 years old, are accomplished veterans in their respective fields of sports and entertainment. Sanders, a former NFL player and head coach at the University Of Colorado Boulder, and Edmonds, a prominent executive producer in Hollywood. Their paths were unlikely to cross very often though but the overlap of sports and entertainment allowed them to frequent similar circles. In early 2012, Sanders attended the premiere of a movie Edmonds had produced. During the event, they got acquainted with each other, and that unlikely meeting was the catalyst of their eventual romance. Before the event ended that night, Sanders got a hold of Edmonds’ business card. Soon after, he reached out to her.
When Deion Sanders asked for Edmonds’ business card, it’s unclear if he did so already knowing he liked her. What is clear, however, is that he intended to have her work on a show he had an idea for. The two eventually met up to have breakfast and discuss Sanders’ ideas for the show that would end up becoming Deion’s Family Playbook. Subsequently, in 2021, Edmonds shared with PEOPLE, “I started off thinking I was just going to produce [the show]. But as I started working with Deion on the show, we grew quite fond of each other and ended up dating.”
2014 – 2015: Deion’s Family Playbook
The reality TV show aired on the Oprah Winfrey Network for three seasons from March 2014 to May 2015. While it was primarily focused on Deion Sanders, Tracey Edmonds also starred in the show. She had become an important part of Sanders’ life at the time, so it was only natural for her to appear in it. Audiences got to see glimpses of the couple’s relationship throughout the show’s three seasons. In addition to starring in Deion’s Family Playbook, Edmonds and Sanders are both credited as executive producers on the show.

Following the end of Deion’s Family Playbook, a couple of years went by, and the their relationship remained stable. They took things to the next level in February 2019 when they got engaged. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Edmonds’ caption read: “Happy Valentine’s Day Fam! Sending LOVE to MY LOVE/MY FIANCÉ @deionsanders! God is SO GOOD! We’re 8 years in, made it through the storms TOGETHER, and will be spending the rest of our lives TOGETHER! To all the couples out there… stay REAL with each other, LISTEN to each other, and MOST of all.. keep LOVE and GOD in your heart. When you do, you can make it through ANY storm! Spread LOVE and JOY on this day!”

Through the pandemic and afterward, their love for each other remained intact. However, the pair’s conflicting schedules made it so they didn’t get to spend much time together. For the most part, they didn’t seem to mind, and graciously dealt with the implications. About their frequent separation, Sanders told PEOPLE, “It’s not just a separation because you want to be separated, it’s a separation because you are active and you are really influencing lives.”
On Sunday, December 3, 2023, Tracey Edmonds announced that her engagement with Deion Sanders had been called off. Without a doubt, this is one of the most surprising breakups of the year as there were no signs of turmoil in the pair’s relationship. The announcement came out of left field, and audiences have been left wondering what exactly happened between the two.
Edmonds’s Instagram post contained a long caption that reads as follows: “To EVERYONE who has been there for us, supported us, and shown us love…We have mutually decided that it is best for us to move forward in life AS FRIENDS and have made this decision with love in our hearts, respect for each other, and appreciation for the time we’ve shared together. Please keep us in your prayers as we go through this transition. Thank you for being there for us ALL THESE YEARS! We love you and appreciate you SO MUCH!”
While Sanders did not make a post of his own, he responded in the comments of Edmonds’ post. “Love u Tracey and You’ve been a true blessing to me. I appreciate the times we’ve shared and they laughs we’ve had. You are an amazing woman and a tremendous mother. God bless u with every endeavor and every step u take. You are HER,” he wrote. There’s no bad blood, but it’s still a punch in the gut to onlookers.
Taylor Swift used her TIME Person of the Year interview to reveal the inside story of her relationship with Travis Kelce. “This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell. We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew. Which, I’m grateful for because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date,” Swift said.
Elsewhere in the interview, Swift expressed her amazement at the ability of NFL camera operators to find her at every Chiefs game she attends. “There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once. I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads. Football is awesome, it turns out. I’ve been missing out my whole life,” Swift noted.
The notes about her relationship with Kelce came amidst one of the most unique interviews for TIME‘s long-running Person of the Year feature. The honor is often reserved for politicians and other powerful figures. In 2022, the award was given to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the “Spirit of Ukraine”. The year before that, Elon Musk was the honoree. However, TIME editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs noted that Swift “transcends borders [and is] a source of light. Furthermore, he also called her a “rare person who is both the writer and hero of her own story.”
Swift topped a ten-item shortlist for the award. She was picked over the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikers, Paramount Leader of China Xi Jinping, Elon Musk, OpenAI founder Sam Altman, prosecutors pursuing charges against Donald Trump, Barbie, Russian President Vladimir Putin, King Charles III of Great Britain, and Chair of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell.
Opening statements for Jonathan Majors’ long-awaited assault trial began in New York yesterday (December 4), and what we’ve heard so far is even more shocking than we could’ve anticipated. For her part, the actor’s lawyer, Priya Chaudhry painted a picture of her client and his alleged victim having tension between them after he initiated a breakup. According to her, this is why Grace Jabbari is accusing him of domestic violence and harassment. On top of this, Chaudhry is also suggesting that racism plays a key role in this case, which interestingly contradicts the audio played by Jabbari in court this week.
Not only did Majors allegedly demand “total compliance” from his then-partner, but the jury also heard a recording of the Creed III star seemingly yelling at his accuser, encouraging her to act more like famous Black women in history, such as President Obama’s wife, Michelle. “I’m a great man. A great man. I do great things for my culture and for the world. The woman that supports me needs to be a great woman,” Jonathan said, also naming Coretta Scott King as a good example for Jabbari to look up to.
As Complex notes, the trial between Majors and his ex is due to last up to two weeks. The former previously pleaded guilty and is facing charges of misdemeanour assault, aggravated harassment, and harassment. Elsewhere, a strangulation charge has been dropped, though it’s worth noting that the California native could still serve up to a year in prison should he be convicted.
At the courthouse, the drama unfolding around Jonathan Majors and his ex-girlfriend isn’t the only thing making headlines on our site. Ahead of a recent appearance, the embattled Marvel actor went viral for “fixing” Meagan Good’s hair, though much of the internet thinks his work needed some serious work. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
We’ve been hoping to see Blueface and his baby mamas ending the year on a cool, calm, and collected note. Unfortunately, we’re less than a week into December, and already the chaos we’ve seen has been unbelievable. It all began when the 26-year-old felt compelled to “rescue” his youngest son, Junior because Chrisean Rock’s friend was watching the young boy in the early morning hours. When he pulled up on Marsh, Blue was threatening to get physically violent with her (she later confirmed they did tussle, though he allegedly sustained more damage).
As payback, the “Lit” artist accordingly kidnapped her ex’s fiancee, Jaidyn Alexis, and much to the internet’s shock, the two women now seem to be on good terms. They came together to trash the “Thotiana” rapper’s house, and rumour has it he put hands on them too, but fans can’t help but wonder what exactly caused all the chaos. Blue sat down for an interview with Jason Lee to tell his side of the story, but ahead of that, we couldn’t help but notice that Rock’s been extra lovey-dovey with K Suave amid her beef with Blue. On Twitter this morning she wrote, “Happy Birthday Daddy,” while reposting his selfie.
While streaming on Hollywood Unlocked‘s page, the Californian candidly explained why he wanted to pick up Junior from Marsh’s care. “I knew the baby was by himself,” Blue told Lee. “Basically, I go over there, and go into the f**king room, Jason, and it’s Marsh, her son, two other kids and the baby all on a blowup mattress on the floor.”
Can you see where Blueface is coming from with wanting better for his son, or do you think jealousy stemming from Chrisean Rock’s budding romance with K Suave is getting the better of him? Let us know in the comments below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
Before 2023, Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor weren’t at all on our radar in terms of couples who might be facing trouble in paradise. If this year has taught us anything, though, it’s that we don’t know what we don’t know, and anything can be taking place behind closed doors. Despite being #Goals to their fans for years now, divorce filings reveal that Taylor felt Shumpert has the tendencies of a narcissist and was struggling with insecurity due to her busy schedule while also berating her for taking time off to be a mother and heal her body after giving birth to their two daughters.
Currently, the former lover’s divorce is in the custody agreement stages. Radar Online reports that a recent hearing included a request from the athlete’s attorney to schedule a set time with him, 7-year-old Junie, and 3-year-old Rue. The court agreed that Shumpert should see his kids 4-6 days out of the month, and for now, he’ll be picking them up from Taylor’s house, where they’ll return at the end of his weekends. The holiday season belongs to the vocalist this year, though this agreement is only in place until a judge determines who gets primary custody of the girls.
Taylor’s legal team is already demanding primary custody and child support after she secretly filed for divorce nearly a year ago. “She has been the primary caretaker of the parties’ minor children since their births,” documents note before stating that Junie and Rue’s best interest would be to stay in their mother’s care most of the time. When with Iman, she claims they “are not fed properly” and “appear to be dishevelled.”
We can’t imagine the stress that comes with navigating a divorce in the public eye, but so far, Teyana Taylor is handling the situation like a pro. Even when she found herself falling victim to pregnancy rumours after stepping out on the red carpet while bloated last month, the “Rose in Harlem” hitmaker managed to laugh off those living rent-free in her uterus. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
Boosie Badazz is often known for being controversial, but this week, he took things to new levels when talking about his daughter’s relationship. The Louisana native made it known that the man in his child’s life may be able to commit infidelity, but he won’t see the light of day after laying hands on Boosie’s daughter, should he ever make that mistake. When footage of the awkward moment hit various blogs, backlash instantly came flooding in from those who misunderstood the true meaning behind the “Wipe Me Down” rapper’s message.
The hate got Boosie in his feelings, as he hopped on Instagram to address his critics in a video rant. “BEFORE [YOU] QUESTION MY PARENTING AS A DADDY, ASK YOURSELF, IS YOUR DADDY A BETTER PARENT THAN ME?” the 41-year-old inquired in the post’s caption. “WHAT RAPPER [YOU] KNOW GOT MULTIPLE BABY MOMMAS N THEY KIDS ALL GREW UP LOVING EACH OTHER, TRAVELING WITH EACH OTHER. [WHO ELSE] HAS ALWAYS BEEN N THEY LIVES AS A DADDY N PROVIDED FOR THEM ALL. GTFOH, DONT PLAY WITH ME WITH THIS DADDY S**T. I GET IN MY FEELINGS” he went off, making it clear that family isn’t up for discussion.
When speaking with the camera directly, the controversial figure provided more clarity on his original statement. “I’m not the type of daddy that get in my daughter’s relationships ‘bout no cheating or nothing like that,” Boosie began. “But if you beat on her then that’s a different thing. That’s my problem … Me and my daughter, me and Pretty Black is thick as thieves. I talk to her about anything. She talk to me about anything,” the passionate father added, making it clear there’s no bad blood in their home.
As per usual, family drama isn’t the only thing weighing heavily on Boosie Badazz’s shoulders at this time. Recent weeks have seen him and Rod Wavetaking shots at each other online, with the former finally following through with filing a lawsuit against the younger lyricist over a sample he allegedly wasn’t paid for. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
