Halle Bailey & DDG Glow In All Black Ensembles At Glamour’s Women OTY Awards

Halle Bailey didn’t seem too concerned about beating the pregnancy rumours long floating around her and DDG on Monday (October 17). At the time, the couple was out in Santa Monica, where The Little Mermaid actress’ oversized outfit raised eyebrows in the California heat. Of course, we’re waiting for her and her YouTuber beau to share the news themselves before sending them congratulations, but their latest date night on Tuesday had some second-guessing whether Bailey is rocking a baby bump or not.

After beginning the week off in her casual attire, the 23-year-old reminded us she’s That Girl for the Glamour Women of the Year Awards. As per usual, Bailey and DDG beautifully coordinated their attire. He looked even more dapper than usual in an all-black suit, adding a hefty silver cross chain to accessorize. On his arm, the Atlanta native also opted to wear black, though her short dress featured beautiful white fabric layered underneath the skirt to give it some volume. Her simple black heels brought the full look together, along with her simple necklace, bracelet, and earrings.

As PEOPLE reports, the “Do It” singer and DDG first went Instagram official in March 2022. Since then, their relationship has had its share of ups and downs (like any), though Halle’s older sister, Chloe Bailey, recently made it clear that she loves to see her musical collaborator so happily in love, despite what the internet tries to say about her other half.

Halle Bailey fans were happy to see DDG supporting her overseas for the Glamour Women of the Year awards. Elsewhere, however, the “Elon Musk” artist got a far less warm welcome when performing at Southern University recently.

Will Smith Trolls Fans With An “Official Statement”

A lot of people have been talking about Will Smith recently. Most of that has come as a result of Jada Pinkett Smith who is revealing details about the couple’s relationship publicly. She’s done a series of bombshell interviews in order to promote her new memoir. One of the biggest revelations came from her discussing the pair’s marriage. She describes them as living entirely separate lives from each other and apparently, it’s been that way since 2016.

To his credit, all the public drama doesn’t seem to be getting to Will Smith too badly. He made a post to social media earlier this week where he showed just how little it was affecting him. He posted a video of himself sleeping on a boat and ignoring the notifications constantly ringing on his phone. Now he’s once again taken to social media to address the situation. Once again, he’s taking the high road, or some semblance of it. He ignores the actual drama going on and uses the opportunity to troll his fans instead by not actually addressing anything. Check out the hilarious clip below.

Will Smith’s New Instagram Post

One of the top comments on the post seems to think the entire situation is being misinterpreted. “Will and Jada have an understanding, it’s the public that makes it like will is being disrespected,” it reads. Other fans agreed, leaving comments like “I love Will. He basically saying mind y’all broke a*s business.”

Earlier today a report came out clarifying what the pair’s children Jaden and Willow think of the situation. The report claims that they both “felt bad” for Will Smith in the ongoing circumstances. Reportedly he’s been spending time with both of his children and they wish for private matters to remain private. Despite that, a massive swirl of public fascination has enveloped the story. What do you think of Will Smith trolling his followers in a new Instagram post? Let us know in the comment section below.

Megan Thee Stallion Hooking Up With Blueface Is “Old News,” He Declares

Jason Lee has spent the past few days teasing his super juicy interview with Jaidyn Alexis and Blueface. Today (October 17), the audio version finally arrived, and as promised, it contains some moments that are already going viral. At one point during their chat, the “Thotiana” rapper tells Lee that being gay is a “choice,” obviously causing some tension between them. Elsewhere, Blue got candid about his sexual past with other women in the industry, revealing that he “might’ve got some head” from Megan Thee Stallion earlier on in their careers.

The Hollywood Unlocked CEO was taken aback by the news, and even Alexis seemed surprised by the tea her baby daddy spilled. As reactions from social media users continue to pour in, Blue is refusing to entertain the narrative any further than the comments he made on The Jason Lee Show. “Y’all that infatuated with old news? 🗞,” the father of three asked on Tuesday afternoon. “Noted 📝,” he posted minutes later, already formulating a way to profit off of the drama.

At this time, Thee Stallion hasn’t addressed any of Blue’s comments about her. It was only a few weeks ago that the 26-year-old’s mom, Karlissa Saffold, was encouraging him to have a baby with the Houston Hottie. Now, she’s being outed for allegedly hooking up with him after encountering a similar situation with Tory Lanez. Though she initially denied sleeping with the Canadian, it came out during his shooting trial that they did have an intimate relationship prior to falling out.

DJ Akademiks Theorizes Jada Pinkett Smith Has CTE

DJ Akademiks says he believes that Jada Pinkett Smith may have CTE after her latest comments on 2Pac and her marriage to Will Smith. Akademiks discussed Jada and Will’s relationship during a recent livestream that he’s since shared on Instagram. Jada had described 2Pac as her true “soulmate” during an interview with Rolling Out while promoting her new book, Worthy

“You gotta check Jada Pinkett brain for CTE too,” Akademiks began. “The way she’s talking about 2Pac, she must be into some necrophilia shit. If you don’t know what that is, that’s a sick infatuation with possibly having sex with a goddamn dead person. She’s doing too much here.”

Despite describing 2Pac as her “soulmate,” Jada clarified that she didn’t view him in a romantic light. “If there is such a thing as past lives, I definitely think ‘Pac and I have traveled a few together. You know, in various forms,” Jada said at the time. “It was like God made us that way, It was like, look, I’m going to put y’all together, right? Y’all are going to be a dynamic duo. But I’m going to tell you right now, I’m going to make it so y’all are not going to be able to get together ’cause that just wasn’t the purpose.” Check out Akademiks’ reaction to the comments below.

Julia Fox Explains Why She Ended Things With Kanye West

While Julia Fox may not have the most talked about celebrity memoir released recently there are still plenty of juicy details emerging. In the book, she talks about her relationship with Kanye West. It gave fans yet another peek into the unsurprisingly chaotic world surrounding the controversial rapper. Unlike other memoirs recently though, very little focus is paid to the physical relationship Fox and West had. As it turns out, that’s because there wasn’t much of one. According to Fox, it was more about West desiring constant attention above all else.

“I had my son, and then he want to talk on the phone a lot, and I’d have to change diapers … I bought a pair of AirPods so I could keep it in while I was doing mom stuff. It was so overwhelming and so unsustainable,” she explained during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show. “Ultimately, I cannot put anybody else first. My son has to be first. It just became too much. I didn’t sign up to have two babies. I couldn’t do it. It felt like two babies,” she elaborated. Check out the full clip from her appearance on the show below.

Julia Fox On What Kanye West Wanted From Her

All kinds of wild details have emerged from Fox’s time with Kanye West via her new memoir. She described herself as West’s “Puppet” and believed she was only there to spite Kim Kardashian. She described the feeling of being weaponized and cited it as a major reason for why their romance eventually fell apart.

In another bizarre story between Fox and West, she described the rapper offering to pay for a boob job for her during a game of Uno. Fox has been promoting her new book through a variety of methods including a social media video that got more attention for her outfit than her message. What do you think of Julia Fox’s newest revelations about Kanye West? Let us know in the comment section below.

Jeannie Mai Removes Last Name Jenkins From IG Amid Jeezy Divorce

Jeannie Mai has removed her last name, Jenkins, from her Instagram account amid her ongoing divorce from Jeezy. The rapper filed for separation in Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta, Georgia, last month, after two years of marriage. A source for Entertainment Tonight claimed that the move came as a surprise for Mai, who had celebrated the release of Jeezy’s memoir, Adversity For Sale, just days beforehand.

When The Jasmine Brand noted the Instagram switch, fans had mixed responses to the move. One fan commented: “I’m Supporting Jeezy like they did Tia Mowry.” Another user wrote: “Yes Jeani he humiliated you, he is not husband material. Husbands should treat their wives with utmost respect. He will do it again and again if given the chance.”

Mai recently addressed how she’s handling the divorce during an interview with Entertainment Tonight ahead of the launch of her new game show, Raid the Cage. “I’m taking it day by day and thankfully being able to have a show like this and be able to do something that you enjoy doing takes your mind off things,” Mai told the outlet. “I’m just focusing on Monaco and focusing on things that I’m passionate about. When you’re surrounded by people, you just get to laugh and look at things that you enjoy doing in life.”

Jada Pinkett Smith Claims Tupac Would Have Divorced Her

For the entire past week, the news cycle has been mostly dominated by Jada Pinkett Smith. She’s done a series of bombshell interviews to promote her new memoir and it’s created an extensive amount of public drama. While much of that has come from her ongoing relationship with Will Smith, she’s also shared plenty of details dating back years. Some of which have gone all the way back to her relationship with Tupac in the 90s.

One of the first big revelations she made was calling Tupac her “soulmate” which certainly must have made things a bit awkward for Will Smith. But she surprised fans even more when she revealed that Tupac proposed to her while he was in prison. Ultimately, she turned him down and she seems to still think that was the right idea. In another new interview, she claims that “Pac would have divorced my a*s so fast.” Check out her full thoughts below.

Jada Pinkett Smith On Marrying Tupac

One person who has been surprisingly quiet through all of this is Will Smith himself. He took to social media to share a video of himself sleeping on a boat. The video also included Will completely ignoring the notifications on his cell phone. The video received positive responses from fans and fellow celebrities in the comments. Many praised him for the fact that he hasn’t made the same level of public show that Jada has for the various news stories.

Others who are urging privacy are Smith’s children. A new report claims that Jaden and Willow feel bad for their dad amid all of the news. They also apparently are calling for private matters to stay private in the situation. Unfortunately, with Jada’s memoir releasing today that doesn’t seem particularly likely. What do you think of Jada Pinkett Smith’s claim that Tupac would divorce her as soon as she was out of prison? Let us know in the comment section below.

Blueface & Megan Thee Stallion Hooked Up “A Long Time Ago,” Former Alleges He “Might Have Got Some Head”

Blueface already has two baby mamas to deal with, but earlier this fall, his mother Karlissa Saffold raised an interesting suggestion about her son reproducing with Megan Thee Stallion. Thee Hotties are unsurprisingly against the idea, but when Jason Lee brought the topic up during his interview with the 26-year-old and Jaidyn Alexis, Blue revealed that he and the Houston-born rap diva may have already shared an intimate moment together. Adam22 has already been hinting that the MILF Music founder has been spreading the gossip around in interviews, but in today’s podcast episode, he reflected on his alleged NSFW history with Tina Snow.

“What did you think about his mom wanting to hook him up with Megan Thee Stallion?” Lee asked Alexis. “It was a clout reach,” the “Barbie” artist confirmed. “Clout reach went backwards.” At the same time, Blue chimed in, “I already been there and done that,” immediately catching the blogger’s interest, despite the Californian’s attempts to change the conversation. “You slept with Megan?” he asked. “Jason, I didn’t say that,” the father of three said with a smile. Alexis was unable to confirm the rumour herself, but she said she would gain some serious insight if the talk is true.

Blueface Speaks on His History with Megan Thee Stallion

According to Blue, he “might’ve got some head,” but the hook up went down “a long time ago.” Lee was obviously shocked by the news, and Alexis appeared to be unimpressed due to her lack of knowledge of her man’s romantic past. “I been doing this a long time, Jason! Like XXL Freshman,” the controversial reality star pointed out to the host. “Like, five years ago. BET Awards. I did all of this stuff already. I’m where I’m at doing what I want to do by choice.”

The men in Megan Thee Stallion’s life aren’t giving her an easy time right now. Not only does Blueface have the Houston hottie’s name in his mouth, but she’s also got 1501 Certified Entertainment and Carl Crawford waging war amid their legal battle.

Jada Pinkett Smith Says She Appreciated Will Smith Standing Up To Chris Rock

Jada Pinkett Smith says that Will Smith helped repair their marriage when he slapped Chris Rock at the Academy Awards in 2022. She made the comments while discussing her relationship with Will during an event in New York on Monday as caught by Variety. Despite recently revealing that they have been separated for years, Jada says that when Will stood up for her at the ceremony, she decided to ride with him.

“When I was sitting at the Oscars, it clicked in. As soon as I was like, ‘Oh snap, you hit Chris?’” she recalled. “I was like, I’m riding with you. I didn’t come into this place as your wife, but I’m leaving here as your wife because we got a storm we’re going to have to deal with together. I am not gonna leave your side.”

That’s still my man.” She further referred to Will as her “dude” and “right hand” while describing them as “life partners.”

Jada has been discussing her relationship with Will Smith in various interviews while promoting her new memoir, Worthy. Will eventually responded to the various revelations over the weekend in an email to the New York Times. “When you’ve been with someone for more than half your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in,” Smith wrote. “And you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Will and Jada’s relationship on HotNewHipHop.
