It’s been a turbulent time for Kanye West so far this year. Even though we’re less than two weeks into 2024 there’s already been plenty of trouble for the rapper. He reportedly owes nearly a million in taxes and is facing a new lawsuit after punching a fan seeking out an autograph. All the while texts from former collaborator and ally Pusha T leaked online leading fans to speculate that they have beef.
While all of this has been going on West has been spending plenty of time with girlfriend Bianca Censori. He’s been repeatedly posting pictures of her in some notable outfits, some of which are quite scant. In one particularly strange post, he promised that 2024 was a year for “no pants.” In the accompanying picture of Censori that came with the post, she lived up to that promise. Now the pair have been spotted making their way around Los Angeles in a new series of pictures shared by TMZ. Check out the pictures at the link below.

While all of this is going on, West has reportedly been working on a new album. The project is called Vultures and it’s a collaboration with Ty Dolla Sign. It was originally slated to be released in December but has gone through a series of new release dates ever since.
The album was supposed to be released tonight January 12, but that release date was eventually wiped from online copies of the record. Earlier today though, a new potential release date appeared. The album is now expected to be released next week on January 19. What do you think of new photos of Kanye West and Binaca Censori back in Los Angeles amid some cold weather?

Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill’s relationship intersects with all kinds of fascinating hip-hop moments. The pair dated from 2015-2017 and it crossed over with numerous important points in both artist’s careers. Most notably, the beef between Meek and Drake put everyone in a fascinatingly delicate place for quite a while. Following their breakup, Nicki made a light-hearted joke about her time with Meek in her song “Barbie Dreams” from her album Queen.
But now some revelations are being made about their relationship that are far less amusing. Those details are coming courtesy of an ex-friend of Meek’s who claims to have been around the couple during their relationship. The friend has taken to Instagram Live recently to tell a series of unsettling stories about the way Nicki was treated in the relationship. Included in the allegations are references to Meek spitting on her and once kicking her out of the house and leaving her by herself. He also claims that Meek was deeply insecure throughout their relationship. Check out some of his claims below.
Last year, Meek Mill teamed up with Rick Ross for a collaborative album called Too Good To Be True. The pair also recruited Vory, Fabolous, The-Dream, DJ Khaled, French Montana, Wale, Future, French Montana, and more. The album was met with mixed reviews from critics and some fans tried to go after Meek and Ross for the project’s modest commercial performance. Both clapped back about how much more important it is that they own their music and creative process rather than generating the most sales possible.
Last week, Meek Mill made a statement that surprised fans who have been following his various feuds for years now. He claimed that he was “too rich for beef” and had no reason to get upset at anybody anymore. What do you think of the allegations Meek Mill is facing for his alleged abuses of Nicki Minaj? Do you believe what Meek’s ex-friend is saying about him? Let us know in the comment section below.
Evelyn Lozada says she has no interest in dating Stephen A. Smith after he talked “so much sh*t” during her relationship with former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson. She was prompted with the hypothetical date idea during an interview with The Jason Lee Show.
“Oh no,” she said dramatically when shown a picture of the sports commentator. “I would never date Stephen A. You wanna know why? I’m gonna tell you. And I’m gonna keep it a buck right here, Jason. When the sh*t happened between Chad [Johnson] and I, he was talking so much sh*t. He was one of the main people that made me feel this small. And because of what I was going through, I just felt like– It was hard for me. You know how we talked about feeling revictimized? He was one of the main people that talked sh*t about my situation with Chad. He was very negative and it was difficult.”

She concluded: “So, yeah I would never date him. Even outside of that, I would never date him period.” From there, she admitted that she still thinks back on that time whenever Smith pops up in the news. Back in 2012, Johnson was arrested on a charge of domestic battery for allegedly headbutting Lozada. In response, Smith controversially questioned Lozada’s role in instigating the argument that led to the attack.

Swatting is one of the most dangerous types of hoaxes around and numerous celebrities have been victim to it in recent years. The tips from anonymous callers sharing fake information about reported crimes have caused numerous high-profile individuals to end up in surprise danger when police show up at their residences. Last year this happened to Cardi B and Offset at their home in Sandy Springs, GA. Thankfully the pair weren’t in the house at the time and instead were in Los Angeles while Offset’s uncle was house-sitting.
The swatting happened back in August but newly obtained video by TMZ is sparking renewed interest in it. Reportedly a call came through alleging that shots had been fired and the celebrity couple’s house. The caller may have even insinuated that Cardi herself could have been hit even though she turned out to be on the other side of the country. In the newly released clip, Offset is contacted over the phone. He seems appropriately frustrated by the entire ordeal during his conversation with police in the video.
For the past month, Cardi B and Offset have been subject to constantly evolving breakup rumors. It began somewhat innocuously with fans spotting that the pair had unfollowed each other on Instagram. But since then it’s been a rapid fire unfolding of new details and conflicting reports. On one hand, Cardi described herself as single during an Instagram live and took shots at Offset
But the pair have also spent plenty of time together recently. Unsurprisingly, they enjoyed their Christmas day together. But they also partied with each other on New Year’s and Cardi even took to social media to share some NSFW details of what went down afterward. The rumors and conflicting behavior have left fans confused trying to decipher exactly where things stand for the pair. What do you think of somebody making a fake threat that resulted in Cardi B and Offset’s house being swatted? Let us know in the comment section below.
Teyana Taylor has just come out with some serious claims against her ex-husband and former NBA star Iman Shumpert. The two were married for seven years and together for 10. That is until the two eventually split in late September of last year. Not too much was known as to why they decided to separate initially. However, in November another update came out that the singer was the one who wanted to end things.
According to some legal documents, Teyana claimed Iman was “treating her cruelly and displaying extreme narcissistic behavior throughout the majority of their marriage.” Then, things got even more serious when Iman denied allegations against him that he was “endangering” her in multiple ways. Now, Teyana is going all in, essentially doubling down on those previous claims.
Teyana Taylor Is Worried For Her Children’s Safety

According to TMZ, Teyana is furthering the divorce process by making it known that Iman is not the best caretaker. Not only for her but for their two daughters. The 33-year-old mother says in the legal documents that he “consistently demonstrates a clear disregard for the safety of the minor children.” She recalls times when he was drunk or smoking weed while watching over them. Iman has yet to deny these damaging remarks.
What are your initial thoughts on Teyana Taylor’s latest comments about Iman Shumpert’s poor parenting skills? Do you think she will earn full custody of the children at some point?

Over the weekend the Golden Globes took place marking the beginning of a run of high-profile award shows over the next few months. While there’s always drama surrounding the awards themselves, the show ended up more controversial than many expected. The tone was set for the night during a disastrous opening monologue that was blasted by fans for having bad jokes and even worse improvisations.
But the biggest stars of the night turned out to be Timothee Chalamer and Kylie Jenner. The pair have been dating for a few months now after pushing through early rumors over their connection this summer. It’s already been controversial for the pair in the meantime as they’ve fought off breakup rumors and even a diss from Jenner’s ex Travis Scott on his new album UTOPIA. In the wake of the pairs public intimacy making the rounds after the Golden Globes, even more drama emerged. That all spawned from a video of Selena Gomez talking to Taylor Swift.
The new viral video of Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift chatting doesn’t even feature any discernable audio. But keen-eyed fans trying to lip-read and gauge facial reactions think they’ve figured it out. The most common speculation is that Gomez is telling them a story about trying to get a picture with Chalamet and being denied by Jenner. That rumor spread online for days causing a spat of rumors about potential beef between the two that either already existed or was sparked from that encounter.
In the wake of the beef rumors, TMZ caught up with Timothee Chalamet. While he’s at first resistant to answering any questions about the whole thing, eventually he caves. In the video they recorded he does eventually deny that there are any hard feelings between Gomez and Jenner, though he seems reluctant to give any comment. Do you believe Timothee Chalamet when he claims that there’s no beef between Kylie Jenner and Selena Gomez? Let us know in the comment section below.
Nicki Minaj is one of the most well-respected rappers in the music industry today, and she’s been romantically involved with other lyricists in the past. Among her highest profile relationships were Meek Mill and Safaree, though the black-haired beauty ultimately opted to settle down with a man who knew her before fame – Kenneth Petty. The couple shares one son, known to the world as Papa Bear. While their focus remains on building their happy family, they can’t seem to avoid legal controversies.
According to RadarOnline, Minaj is facing accusations of “provoking” her man to attack security at a 2019 concert after they failed to prevent a fan from rushing the stage. Guards quickly escorted the over-enthused attendee away. Still, the alleged victim claims the Queen of Rap was so upset by what could’ve happened that she had Petty assault him. First, she was yelling at a female security member, demanding answers about the fan’s appearance. At the time, Minaj was allegedly recording the encounter and yelling obscenities. Thomas Weidenmuller then stepped in to defend his co-worker, only for the Trinidadian to lash out at him too.
Later that day, Weidenmuller met with the mother of one, Petty, and two of her personal guards. “[Minaj] repeatedly screamed obscenities at him. She shouted, “Who do you think you are?” and demanded to know why he interrupted her when she attempted to video record her confrontation with the female security guard. She once again referred to the female security guard as a “f**king b**ch” and falsely insisted that Weidenmüller must have a physical or romantic relationship with her,” court documents state. “While Minaj screamed obscenities at me, Petty repositioned himself out of my eyesight and without warning struck me in the fact, which stunned and disoriented me. Because of the surprise nature of the attack, I am not sure as to whether Petty hit me with his fist or with a weapon.”
After seeking medical attention and undergoing numerous surgeries, Weidenmuller is asking for $724K in damages. He pointed out that Petty has a known history of violence, and that his wife encouraged him regardless of this. On the bright side for Nicki Minaj, she’s no longer on her husband’s decades-old sexual assault lawsuit. She’ll still appear “prominently” in the case, though the couple’s attorneys are trying to have Jennifer Hough’s allegations thrown out. Read all about that situation at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
Throughout history, the public gaze on the lives of celebrities has been unrelenting. The spotlight is unforgiving, and the personal lives of stars often become a compelling narrative of their own. Within this narrative, few chapters are as scrutinized and dissected as the tales of cheating celebrities and extramarital affairs. This is one of the times when the fans NEVER forget.
Although it may come as a surprise to some, these affairs are quite common in the entertainment industry. In some way, it’s almost become a part of celebrity culture. Over the years, there have been countless rumors about cheating celebrities, and some have even been caught red-handed. Contrarily, some, although not outrightly caught, have admitted to having affairs. Whether through songs or statements, many of these celebrities have publicly owned up to their mistakes and admitted to cheating. Here’s a list of seven such celebrities who have done so.
7. Eric Benét

In the early 2000s, Eric Benét and Halle Berry’s marriage was in the spotlight, marked by their glamorous union and red-carpet appearances. However, the narrative took a dramatic turn when reports surfaced on Benét’s infidelity. Subsequently, the Grammy-nominated R&B singer admitted to cheating on Berry during their marriage, and they divorced soon after. Even for celebrities, cheating can be a dealbreaker sometimes. Speaking to People in 2005, Benét said, “We all know I cheated. It was out there. It’s a betrayal.”
6. Shawn Stockman

Joining the list of celebrities who have admitted to cheating is Shawn Stockman. In 2016, the Boyz II Men singer uploaded a video apologizing to his wife Sharonda Jones for cheating. At the time, the two had been married for 15 years, and the news of his affair shocked fans. In the video, Stockman said, “I’m apologizing on record to my wife for my infidelity, about me doing things outside of the marriage that I’m not supposed to be doing with people who I had no business dealing with. For them to be as cavalier as to do the things that they did to try to break my family apart. I’m apologizing on record to my family and to anyone else that I have hurt.”

Unfortunately, Tristan Thompson cheating on Khloe Kardashian is something that has happened more than once. This remains one of the biggest cheating scandals involving celebrities in recent years. In 2019, the couple broke up because Thompson allegedly cheated on Kardashian with her good friend Jordyn Woods. However, in 2020, they reconciled and began dating again. Unfortunately, in 2022, after a paternity test revealed he was the father of Maralee Nichols’ newborn child, it became evident he had cheated again. Addressing the topic, Thompson wrote a statement on his Instagram story. It read, “Today, paternity test results reveal that I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols. I take full responsibility for my actions. Now that paternity has been established, I look forward to amicably raising our son. I sincerely apologize to everyone I’ve hurt or disappointed throughout this ordeal both publicly and privately.”

The famed R&B singer and his ex-wife Tameka Foster married in 2007 and divorced in 2009. Three years after their separation, in an interview with Oprah, Usher finally spoke about the end of his marriage. When Oprah asked the singer if he was faithful during their marriage, he responded, “I was faithful at heart, but not faithful all the way. Even having a conversation with another woman, period, about matters of your relationship or emotions is, in my opinion, not being faithful.”

One of the most famous sports celebrities, the legendary golfer Tiger Woods faced a highly publicized cheating scandal in 2009 when reports emerged of his extramarital affair. The situation involved multiple women coming forward, negatively impacting Woods’ personal and professional life. Following the statements from the women, Woods addressed the issue, and admitted to infidelity. In a statement that was posted on his website in December 2009, Woods wrote, “I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children.” Afterward, on August 23, 2010, Tigers Woods and Elin Nordegren, who had been married for six years, divorced.

Sometime in 2017, Kevin Hart was unfaithful to his wife Eniko and he openly admitted to it on two known occasions. Firstly, in a video he uploaded on Instagram on September 17, 2017, he spoke about making a “bad error in judgment.” The post was captioned, “Sending so many apologies to my wife & kids. I gotta do better and I will. I’m not perfect and have never claimed to be …I love you all.”
Afterward, Hart appeared on The Breakfast Club on December 14th and addressed it again. Speaking about his then-pregnant wife Eniko Parrish, he said, “I’m hoping that she has a heart to where she can forgive me and understand that this is not going to be a reoccurring thing and allow me to recover from my f***ing massive mistake.” The actor seems to deeply regret being regarded as one of the celebrities with a cheating scandal.

Undoubtedly, Jay-Z is one of the biggest celebrities with a cheating scandal on this list. Famously, his extramarital affair inspired, and is highlighted on Beyoncé’s critically acclaimed 2016 album, Lemonade. The album alluded to infidelity and relationship struggles, but neither Jay-Z nor Beyoncé made explicit statements about it. However, in Jay-Z’s album 4:44, he addressed personal growth. On the track “4:44,” he apologized for his actions, suggesting that he had indeed been unfaithful.
DDG joked that fans of him and Halle Bailey need to look into “detective work” for being able to figure out they were expecting. He reflected on welcoming his first son, Halo, with the actress in a vlog post on YouTube titled, I’m A Dad Now…, on Sunday.
“I’m a dad. I’m a dad, y’all,” he began the video. “I have a son — I have a baby boy. He’s a newborn. He was actually born last year [but] we were just waiting on the right time to basically break the news or whatever. It’s been a lot of speculation.” From there, he joked fans should quit their jobs and look into “detective work,” because of the rumors about the pregnancy. He added: “It’s a blessing and I love him so much. I barely know him and he barely know me. We barely know each other. I just love him so much and it’s just a different type of feeling.”

She did so by digging up an old tweet from DDG from April Fools’ Day (April 1) last year. The rapper shared a sonogram of his eventual son with the caption, “Can’t wait to be your dad.” Many people did not originally believe him due to the timing of it. Some supporters of Halle were even bashing DDG saying things like, “She’d never let a boy like you ruin her million dollar career.” The singer’s fan base has always been skeptical of the former YouTuber, but he is now a proud father. Sexyy Red had to give DDG his flowers for the clever nature of the announcement. She quote tweeted it, saying, “Dis was smart asf [crying laughing emoji].”
What are your initial thoughts on Sexyy Red’s tweet congratulating DDG and Halle Bailey on welcoming their child, Halo? Why do you think Red brought this tweet back up out of all of them?
