Spending the past year and a half in jail has been trying on Young Thug’s mental health, but it’s also left a hole in the life of his girlfriend, Mariah the Scientist. The pair began spending time together romantically just months before he was arrested on RICO charges, and the YSL leader has done his best to make sure she can feel his love through the distance. Seeing as she’s a rising R&B star in her own right, Mariah likely has plenty of suitors sliding into her DMs. However, in a recent interview, the Atlanta native confirmed that she’s holding out for Thugger’s release, no matter how long it takes.
“What would you say to people who had something to say about you saying, ‘Free my baby daddy,’ or ‘Free Thug!’”? the journalist speaking with the “Church” artist asked. “I feel like, and this is in all honesty, there is nobody on planet Earth that can get between me and supporting my man,” The Scientist confidently responded. “I’m sorry, it’s just not gonna happen,” she assured any doubters out there.
Mariah then called out people on the internet for making assumptions about her and Thug, among other things, and being judgemental. “They have a lot to say, but I’m sorry to hear that you don’t understand what I got going on,” the 25-year-old continued to clap back at haters. “Maybe one day you will, but the odds are you won’t. I don’t feel the need to explain and express to somebody the love I have for somebody else… It’s not gonna change what I have going on, what people have to say.”
Unfortunately for Young Thug and Mariah the Scientist’s love life, it doesn’t look as though the So Much Fun hitmaker will be freed from jail anytime soon. Lawyers are still struggling to find the right candidates to sit on a jury, and amid that search, they’re also seeking to have YSL Polo removed from the trial due to his erratic behaviour. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
Keke Palmer has spent a significant part of her life in the spotlight. From the precocious but confident tween girl who commanded the screen to the versatile woman boasting numerous media endeavors, her star power has been evident, regardless of her eggs in multiple baskets. Yet, another way she’s made significant headlines is through her relationship with Darius Jackson.
Indeed, the Nickelodeon alumna has kept her romantic relationships confidential throughout her career. Her hold on her privacy was so airtight that all the public had were speculations and rumors. However, that changed in 2021 when Palmer openly showcased her relationship with Jackson. The pair share a son now, and although there’s been some drama, things seem to be positive once again.
Keke Palmer & Darius Jackson Meet

Darius Jackson was not a very popular internet personality before he began dating Keke Palmer. Nonetheless, he had access to high-profile events because of his brother, actor Sarunas Jackson. Sarunas and Palmer both starred in HBO’s Insecure. Later, Darius met Palmer at a Memorial Day party hosted by Issa Rae and Diddy in 2021. Very little is known about Jackson’s early life. However, he started making a name for himself as a fitness trainer by the time he met Palmer. He was also reportedly looking to pursue a career in sports media. Consequently, he has since been involved in entertainment as well. Following their introduction at the party, the pair began a romantic relationship.
Keke officially announced their relationship in August 2021 in a since-deleted Instagram post. The first few months of their relationship were filled with public declarations of love and appreciation. Fans got an unprecedented view into Palmer’s relationship, something they had never enjoyed before. The two lovebirds unabashedly shared photos and videos of their time together. While it was admittedly still limited, it was a kind of access Palmer had never given the general public.
All of a sudden, by the spring of 2022, these affectionate posts were deleted from both accounts. Naturally, this development stirred rumors that the two had broken up. However, Palmer cleared them up. By late 2022, a new story stemmed about Keke Palmer being pregnant and hiding a baby bump. She finally addressed the rumors during her opening monologue on Saturday Night Live.
“There’s some rumors going around. People have been in my comments saying, ‘Keke’s having a baby, Keke’s pregnant,’ and I wanna set the record straight—I am!” she said, unbuttoning her jacket to reveal her baby bump. Social media went ablaze afterward, congratulating the actress on her forthcoming baby. This also renewed public interest in Darius Jackson, further pushing his celebrity profile forward.
Palmer and Jackson welcomed their son, Leodis Jackson, on February 25, 2023. The couple announced his birth in a cute Instagram post. She recounted bits of her relationship with Jackson and topped up the caption with a joke. “Born during Black History Month, with a name to match!” she wrote. Afterward, the pair went quiet on social media, back to maintaining their privacy. Save for essential posts, they rarely took to Instagram, supposedly enjoying their time together as new parents.

In July 2023, Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson made headlines again. However, the situation was far from positive. Months after the birth of their son, Palmer was gradually integrating back into mainstream media. The Nope actress had previously made a few public appearances, often thanking her baby for her voluptuous figure postpartum. In the same vein, fans on social media created a running gag about Palmer’s fuller physique due to her baby weight. However, after videos of Palmer at Usher’s Las Vegas Residency went viral, Jackson publicly shamed her outfit.
Jackson openly called out Palmer in a tweet, which he has since deleted. Keke responded in a post of her own, quickly garnering support from fans. Similarly, breakup rumors began to swirl. The indirect interaction generated wild media buzz and sparked multiple debates online. There was also palpable tension in the air about whether or not the two would remain together.

Numerous outlets soon carried that the two had parted ways and were no longer in a romantic relationship. However, on her 30th birthday, Keke Palmer was live on Instagram, with Jackson by her side. There’s no confirmation whether they’re back together or cordial and co-parenting. The pair were having lunch together and conversing quite freely, disproving rumors that they were on bad terms. Later, the two were photographed enjoying Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour stop in Los Angeles.
Being a parent in the public eye is difficult but Cardi B and Offset seem to be doing alright. Pictures and videos hit the internet yesterday showing off the pair of rap stars going on a family trip to Disneyland. According to TMZ the occasion they were celebrating was the 2nd birthday of their son Wave. They brought him, along with 5-year-old daughter Kulture to the happiest place on earth to ride some rides and celebrate his big day. Check out one of the videos of the couple and their children having fun at the park below.
Cardi B and Offset are coming off yet another big collaborative single. In late July the pair teamed up for a new track called “JEALOUSY” that played into some of the public fascination into their relationship. The track resonated with fans immediately. It shot up to number 55 on the Hot 100 in its first week and has already racked up over 20 million streams on Spotify. It’s expected to land on an album that Offset is slated to release later this year.

Cardi B also has another big collaboration on the way. She made a major announcement yesterday, letting fans know that her new song “BONGOS” with Megan Thee Stallion is dropping later this week. It’s the pair’s second collaboration following their smash hit 2020 team-up “WAP.” It’s also Cardi’s first new single of her own this year after appearing on a trio of features.
The announcement of a new song from Cardi and Megan comes just a few days after a major win in the courts for both artists. A lawsuit that claimed they had stolen the lyrics for “WAP” from another artist was thrown out by the judge hearing it. It’s unclear if that had anything to do with the timing of their announcement of a follow-up. What do you think of Cardi B and Offset taking their family to Disneyland for Wave’s second birthday? Let us know in the comment section below.
Being the wife of a world-famous recording artist obviously can’t be easy. Things have grown more anxiety-inducing in the digital age when infidelity can be arranged with the click of a button. Yung Bleu’s wife, Tiemeria, unfortunately, learned that the hard way recently. She unfortunately found out about her man being unfaithful via a TikTok video. Another young woman named Tenom shared her story of being flown out by Bleu, however, he failed to acknowledge her in person after paying for her hair and various other beauty treatments.
After being berated by both women, the R&B artist later claimed that Tenom’s hygiene was beneath his standards, and made it clear that nothing happened between the two of them. She’s refuted his insults aimed at her, but Bleu has since been busy focusing his energy on more important matters, like beefing with Boosie Badazz and apologizing to Tiemeria. In a tweet that’s no longer available on his profile, the “You’re Mines Still” artist wrote, “I would like to publicly apologize to my wife. I will never get on the internet and bash you, no matter what you say out of hurt.”
“[You’re] such a good woman,” Bleu continued. “Solid. Rare. And I love and appreciate you. It’s a lot that this industry bring. It’s a fast life,” he markedly admitted. “Sometimes as men we fall short of what’s right! But I’ll never be [foolish] enough to lose what’s best for me! Hope this message reaches you somehow. Giving everything else to God from here. Back to the music and enjoying the love of my fans on tour! Family over everything.”
This tweet and delete isn’t the only time Yung Bleu has shown love for his wife over the past week. Amid his social media spat with Boosie Badazz, the Alabama native shut down claims that he’s never written a song about his wife. In fact, Bleu was quick to point out that he dropped one track about Tiemeria while signed to the 40-year-old, and it’s even RIAA-certified Platinum. Read more about that drama at the link below, and let us know if you think the R&B star’s apology to his wife is satisfactory in the comments.
Jamie Foxx enjoyed a beach vacation with his girlfriend, Alyce Huckstepp, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for Labor Day weekend. According to photos obtained by Page Six, the two appeared to be going strong following Foxx’s medical emergency, earlier this year.
In various photos, the two rocked matching outfits and enjoyed some PDA and hand-holding. It’s unclear exactly how long Foxx and Huckstepp have been together, but they were spotted on a trip to Cannes in May 2022. At the time, they were getting intimate on a luxury yacht on the French Riviera.

The vacation comes after Foxx recently opened up about the mysterious medical emergency that hospitalized him back in April. In an emotional video posted to his Instagram account in July, he explained why he kept his fans in the dark regarding his health. “I went through something that I thought I would never ever go through and I know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear updates but to be honest with you I just didn’t want you to see me like that man,” he said at the time. “I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, television show, I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through.”
Cabo isn’t the first public appearance Foxx has made since getting out of the hospital. He also attended the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami while partying alongside Meek Mill and LeBron James. As for his acting career, Foxx recently appeared in the films God is a Bullet and They Cloned Tyrone and stars in the upcoming movie, The Burial.
Earlier this summer, the disappearance of Carlee Russell sent shock waves across the internet. Initially, people were concerned about the well-being of the missing Black woman, who claimed to have pulled over to the side of the road to assist a child. When Russell resurfaced at her parent’s house a few days later, however, questions began to arise about the validity of her claims. Ultimately it was discovered that there was no toddler on the highway, and then most of what Carlee shared with authorities wasn’t exactly accurate.
Now that Russell is facing criminal charges, her ex, Thomar Simmons, is sharing more of his thoughts on the situation. “I mean we had a little argument but it wasn’t nothing to kidnap yourself over,” he reflected. “I’m confused, like what happened? What made you do this? I don’t understand.” In his podcast episode, the creator also made it clear that he had nothing to do with Carlee’s scheme, and that he’s not seeking any clout from the incident.
“I was in the heat looking for my girl, bruh. Why would I do all of this for clout, bruh?” Simmons asked. “It really traumatized me,” he also noted. Interestingly, it wasn’t long after Russell and her man went their separate ways that he was put on blast for hosting a club event in hopes of connecting with a new woman to help heal his heart. Unfortunately for Simmons, it never came to be after a lawyer allegedly advised him not to partake.
The discourse surrounding Carlee Russell’s kidnapping hoax has obviously died down in recent weeks, but still, it was one of the most noteworthy crime stories of the summer. The 25-year-old is currently awaiting her fate after bonding out of jail in late July. Revisit Carlee’s mugshot at the link below, and let us know if you think Thomar Simmons is using his ex’s situation as an opportunity to chase clout in the comments.
The Kardashian family has each other’s back during the toughest of times. Kim and Khloé Kardashian, the sisters of Kourtney Kardashian, performed a very kind gesture over Labor Day weekend. After Kourtney was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital near her home, it is safe to say that she needs time to relax and rest up. Knowing that, the Kardashian family seemed to be planning on attending one of Beyoncé’s shows during her three-day stint in California.
Kim and Khloé decided to bring Kourtney’s daughter, Penelope, out to experience one of the biggest performers in the world. In the photo above the clan is wearing their best silver get-ups per the Queen Bey’s attire request. The artist’s birthday was yesterday, and she has been asking her fans to wear silver to help celebrate the occasion. Kim’s daughter North was also in attendance.

Various Instagram stories were shared on Kim and Khloé’s accounts showing how much fun they were having. It is nice to see when the Kardashian family has got each other’s backs. Especially, after Kourtney’s brief hospital stay that forced her husband, Travis Barker, to rush home and postpone some of Blin-182’s shows in Europe. Kourtney continues to remain at home with her man, as the couple still has not disclosed the reasoning for her going to seek care.

As is often the case with celebrity couples, there are a lot of rumors and not often much clarity. Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet have been the exact same way. The couple have sustained plenty of breakup rumors since they were first speculated to be an item, with some even going as far as to say they weren’t even actually a thing in the first place. That seems pretty unlikely now that the pair made their public debut at Beyonce’s recent Renaissance tour date in Los Angeles.
Jenner and Chalamet didn’t just take their long-rumored romance out in public, but they got up close and personal. They didn’t do anything to necessarily put a definitive stamp on the long-rumored relationship, but accompanying each other to the show and being unafraid to get close does sort of say the quiet part out loud. The pair picked a pretty good place to make their public debut as well. Beyonce lit up Los Angeles for her final show in town which also happened to take place on her birthday. Check out clips of the couple at the show below.
Kylie Jenner And Timothee Chalamet Out For The First Time Together

A public debut for the couple follows weeks of endless speculation about their status. After some of the breakup-up rumors really started to pick up steam, Kylie confused fans. She took a trip to Chalamet’s Beverly Hills home that was caught by paparazzi. Representatives for both celebs refused to comment on the visit which drove even more public speculation on the pair.
Last month, Kylie Jenner celebrated her 26th birthday. The reality star took to Instagram to celebrate her big day with some extravagant beach pictures. The gorgeous location was only outdone by Kylie herself who stunned in the photo set. What do you think of Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet making their public debut as a couple at Beyonce’s concert? Let us know in the comment section below.

As for what set Rock off, Blueface had commented on their relationship on X, and compared Rock to Jaidyn Alexis. He wrote: “I ain’t even gone cap Jaidyn pussy wetter I ain’t never stopped fucking her sense my sophomore year in high school,” among other posts. He also explained why he avoided acknowledging Rock’s child in public. Be on the lookout for further updates on Blueface and Chrisean Rock on HotNewHipHop.
Rapper and former YouTube star, DDG, and actress and singer, Halle Bailey, continue to show their true love for another anytime they can. As far as we know the couple has been official since the end of March 2022 and like most relationships, especially in the celebrity world, they can have their tough moments. For example, there was a lot of speculation that DDG was cheating on Halle with his ex-girlfriend and rapper, Rubi Rose. The artist decided to release a song about Rubi, “Way Too Petty,” after Rubi was sharing communications with him.
That is just one example of the couple facing the heat from outsiders but, Halle put it best in a statement she made about social media and how it can tear apart what you have. She goes, “The biggest thing I’ve learned in dating when it comes to dating in the public eye, is that everybody’s gonna have an opinion about you, whether it’s good or bad. I think because I’ve grown up, kind of in the public eye, people think they have this sort of… I don’t know, that they can say what they feel about my life. Like they do with everyone in the public eye,” Halle elaborates. “But I’ve realized, for me, I just go with my heart.” That is extremely wise of the Little Mermaid star to share for anyone going through a rough patch in their love life.
DDG and Halle Bailey seem to continue to live out that mantra, as the two were looking goofy and lovey in a recent photo. In the picture, the couple is getting nice and comfortable while they watch Beyoncé perform one of her shows in Los Angeles from this past Labor Day weekend. DDG is making a smoochy face, while Halle is sticking her tongue out in the direction of her man. The caption on the image reads, “goodnight” with the crying laughing emoji. It is sweet to see the two living their best life together and we wish them nothing but love and peace going forward!
What are your initial thoughts on this photo from DDG and Halle Bailey? Are these two a power couple in the celebrity world? Have you been able to attend one of Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour shows yet? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.
