Since the beginning of his illustrious career, Kanye West has always had a complicated relationship the the paparazzi. While in the past, he has been known to typically run away from or confront them, this week, he pulled an about face and did the unthinkable- he invited them inside.
The bizarre invitation stemmed from a day in which a group of paparazzi had been following him and his reported wife, Bianca Censori, around Los Angeles looking for the typical content. However, once the group reached a building, West invited them inside into what appeared to be a private photo studio that he has been renting.
In a video shared to TMZ, he can be seen and heard inviting about four to five photographers to come closer to a full-fledged white paper backdrop set where Censori stood decked out in a full-body furry suit of some sort, complete with a hat that included large floppy ears. He directs them where to focus their cameras while also directing Censori where to stand and how to pose. Censori can be seen working a variety of angles as the photographers snap away. A few times he can be heard chiding the photographers not to get the ceiling or the rest of the structure in the shot. After shooting for a little over a minute, he bids the group farewell and ensures them that he will see them later before asking one to refrain from photographing the whole studio, which appears to be a rather professional setup, complete with an interview area and full kitchen.
While this is not the first time that Kanye has directed paparazzi on how he likes to be photographed, it is a departure from Censori’s recent content, which included revealing clothing that largely has to be censored on the internet and social media.

It’s hard being a celebrity going through an expensive and public divorce. It can be a bit difficult to give up half your fortune to someone. Whether they go their separate ways because of irreconcilable differences, cheating or abuse, celebrities spend millions to divide assets.
Celebrities can fall into a love trap that could take a big chunk of their net worth. Madonna, Dr. Dre and most recently, Kevin Costner have all experienced legal battles with specifics on spousal/child support and properties. Here are 7 of the most expensive celebrity divorce showdowns.
Bill & Melinda Gates – $76 Billion

Following an affair the Microsoft co-founder had in 2020, Bill and Melinda Gates divorced in 2021 after 27 years of marriage. The pair’s petition didn’t indicate that there was a signed prenuptial agreement on the books. The exes opted for a separation contract to negotiate the terms of their split. No child support was granted because their three children were already grown. Although one of the smoothest celebrity divorces, it was also one of the priciest. Melinda walked away with $76 billion, making her the 10th wealthiest woman in the world.
The couple continues to run the philanthropic Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in Seattle. Worth $50 billion, the foundation is one of the world’s largest charitable organizations. The foundation was in a trust, and therefore could not be divided as part of the marital estate.
Jeff & Mackenzie Bezos – $38 Billion

The Amazon founders married in 1993 — one year before founding the company founding — and share four children. In 2018, the National Enquirer teased a story claiming that Jeff Bezos was having an affair with a former Fox News anchor. The next year, he and wife Mackenzie Bezos divorced.
Because their divorce jurisdiction was in Washington (a community property state), all assets and debts were held jointly by the couple. For that reason, the celebrity divorce was very amicable. They did not have a prenuptial agreement. And although MacKenzie Bezos did not receive half the marital assets, her 4% stake in Amazon was still worth approximately $38.3 billion. That does not include any other liquid, real estate, or other assets she received.
Alec & Jocelyn Wildenstein – $3.8 Billion

Jocelyn Wildenstein, the New York City socialite known as “Catwoman” due to the results of her extensive plastic surgery, received a $2.5 billion divorce settlement when she divorced art dealer Alec Wildenstein in 1999. Problems started when Jocelyn claimed she found Alec in bed with a 21-year-old Russian model. She also claimed he pulled a gun on her, which led to his arrest.
Jocelyn Wildenstein also received an annuity of $100 million to be paid in 13 years. The celebrity divorce was particularly contentious and the judge stipulated when awarding Wildenstein her settlement that she should not use any of the money for further cosmetic surgeries. But she still managed to fall on hard times and filed for bankruptcy in 2018, which she claimed was due to the discontinuation of her $100 million annual divorce settlement by her deceased ex-husband’s family.

Hollywood’s most infamous couple, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian divorced in 2021, but trouble in their marriage began years earlier. West’s string of erratic behavior, controversial remarks, and support of Donald Trump seriously strained their relationship. And in Feb. 2022, the SKIMS founder officially filed for divorce.
The couple, lovingly dubbed “Kimye” by the media, have joint physical and legal custody of their four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. Kim Kardashian receives $200,000 a month in child support from Kanye West, who’s also responsible for half of the children’s medical, educational, and security expenses. Both parties waived spousal support. When it comes to their property portfolios, the pair had a prenup and kept their homes separate.
However, Forbes reports they jointly owned several homes, artwork, vehicles, and jewelry amounting to US$70 million in shared assets, as of 2022. Back in 2021 West boasted a net worth of $1.3 billion. That amount dwindled after his Yeezy brand was dropped by Adidas. Kardashian’s current net worth according to Forbes is $1.8 billion.
Rupert & Anna Murdoch – $1.7 Billion

Former 21st Century Fox CEO Rupert Murdoch divorced Anna Murdoch Mann, a Scottish journalist with whom he shared three children, in 1999. Troubles started when Murdoch had an affair with his next wife Wendy Deng, whom he married two weeks after settling the divorce. “He was hard, ruthless, and determined,” she would state years later about her ex-husband.
California being the couple’s home state — and a community-property state — Anna Murdoch could have walked away with half of the family fortune, which was then valued at $7.8 billion. But having regarded the company as her life’s work, she used her leverage to protect the company for her children. The couple agreed to a family trust where their three children, along with his child by his first wife, would inherit the company. Rupert, however, breached the agreement for his children with Anna when he had two more kids with Deng. He then bought them off, each with $150 million, and they agreed to divide the trust into six parts, instead of four. Anna Murdoch reportedly received $1.7 billion from the settlement.
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver – $300 Million
CANNES, FRANCE – MAY 16: Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger with his wife Maria Shriver wave to fans as the couple arrives for the screening of the film “Les Egares” at the Palais des Festivals during the 56th International Cannes Film Festival on May 16, 2003 in Cannes, France. (Photo by Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images)
Although Maria Shriver filed for divorce in 2011, soon after she learned of Schwarzenegger’s infidelity and secret child with their maid Mildred Baena, it took the couple a decade to sign the papers. Married for 25 years, the two handled their divorce quietly and without throwing accusations in court, which is a bit weird considering how long it took them to settle.
There were virtually no public actions taken in the case between 2011 and June 2023. Financial details of the settlement were kept confidential. Because the couple’s four children together are now all adults, there is no child support or custody arrangement.
Settlement papers say that neither owes the other any spousal support, but both reserve the right to seek it through the court in the future. Shriver is entitled to half of what Schwarzenegger earned from the time they got married in 1986 until the divorce, including his pension. Arnold has a net worth of $450 million.
Dr. Dre & Nicole Young – $100 Million

Dr. Dre and his ex-wife Nicole Young reached a massive divorce settlement that allowed her to walk away from their 24-year marriage with $100 million, one-eight of Dre’s fortune. She also kept a Rolls Royce, Range Rover, Escalade limousine, and Spyder motorcycle as well as all of her jewelry. The iconic producer of such albums as The Chronic and The Slim Shady LP has a net worth of $500 million.
During the 18-month divorce proceeding, Dr. Dre (born Andre Young) tried to enforce a prenuptial agreement signed in 1996. But powerhouse attorney Samantha Spector fought the validity of the prenup, arguing that Young had signed it under “duress.” Young revealed lots of Dre’s appalling behavior in court. In a 2021 feature, Rolling Stone Magazine reported that “Nicole claimed in court papers that Dre kicked her out of their home in early April.” Additionally, it alleged Dre “plotted to secretly transfer their assets, to deny Nicole her equal share.” She also accused him of multiple instances of domestic abuse, including holding a gun to her head twice and punching her in the head and face, all of which he denied.
Caitlin Clark has confirmed she is okay after colliding with an Ohio State fan following Iowa’s game against the Buckeyes. Clark had been attempted to leave the court, which had been stormed by Ohio State fans, when the unidentified ran into her and sent sprawling to the ground. Video of the incident quickly made its online. However, it is not believed to have been an intention targeting of Clark.
Fans stormed the court at Value City Arena after No. 18 Ohio State knocked off the visiting No. 2 Hawkeyes 100-92. Despite Clark scoring an NCAA season-high of 45, no other Hawkeye scored more than 14 points. Meanwhile, Cotie McMahon and Jacy Sheldon combined for 57 of the Buckeeyes’ points. Iowa will look to bounce back against Nebraska on the 27th. Meanwhile, Ohio State takes their five-game winning streak into a game against Illinois on the 25th.

Meanwhile, Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer has tied the all-time NCAA coaching wins mark set by legendary Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski. Win No. 1202 for VanDerveer came against Oregon, with the No. 8 Cardinal prevailing 88-63 despite losing star senior Cameron Brink in the first quarter. VanDerveer, who took over at Stanford in 1985, can make history and take the record for herself on January 21 against Oregon State. VanDerveer began her coaching career in 1978 at Idaho. She earned her 100th win in 1983 while coaching Ohio State. She hit 1000 wins in 2017.
“It’s a tribute to the great teams I’ve had, the great places I’ve worked. It’s been really exciting because so many people have reached out to me and it’s great for women’s basketball that there’s a lot of attention. I work at a great place, and I have so much support,” VanDerveer told the Pac-12 Network after the win. “Sometimes I can take it for granted because I see her every day. But she’s really been someone who’s changed the game. So it’s an honor to play for her. Every day, I learn something from her,” junior Kiki Iriafen told ESPN.
Jim Jones says he’s willing to bet $100,000 on a rap battle with any artist from his era. Taking to Instagram, earlier this week, he issued the challenge for his peers. He noted in the caption of his video that his first album released in 2004.
“With the exception of my #LobbyBoyz @fitlitclub this is for everyone of you old n****s lol I want smoke bad,” he wrote in the caption of his post. “Let’s start wit 100k at any studio do it live for th people to judge lol. Let’s see who excepts this challenge from my era my first album was 2004.”

In the full video, he added: “Tell them old n****s get in the studio. They trying to do everything but rap. I know nostalgia sells but that sh*t old, ya heard? Come out and play. I could come to any studio I’m at. “I’ll cook any one of you n****s up from my era. And I got the bag to match it. This is a public service announcement 2024. I’m giving out all smoke to you n****s from my era.” Lil Duval popped up in the comments section to announce he’d bet $20,000 on Fabolous. Other fans brought up Mase, 50 Cent, Jadakiss, and more. “Ghostface, Banks, All three Lox, 50, Cam, Mase, Ludacris, Busta, Eminem, Wayne just to name a few,” one user wrote. Check out Jones’ post below.
Jones released his latest project, Jim Jones Presents Byrdgang 2.0, back in October of last year. He collaborated with YellowTapee, Keen Streetz, Dyce Payso, Melii, Dilla Illa, and several more artists on the effort. Be on the lookout for further updates on Jim Jones on HotNewHipHop.
Social media has completely melted down after footage emerged of Lil Wayne’s children not standing up to greet Queen Latifah when being introduced to her at a basketball game. X users were livid that Wayne’s children “disrespected” Latifah by remaining in their seats as they shook her hand courtside. For many, especially older people, it was a great sign of rudeness not to stand for someone as legendary as Latifah.
However, many people didn’t see what the big deal was. Some argued that Wayne isn’t going to be someone who teaches etiquette based on his own upbringing. Meanwhile, others argued that this was just social media getting in on business that didn’t concern them. Neither Latifah or Wayne have commented on the “incident”, indicating that they don’t see that any social etiquette rules were broken. What do you think? Is it disrespect or just social media overreacting? Let us know in the comments.
Meanwhile, Wayne spoke on his idea of the NBA’s future in an interview last month. Specifically, Wayne wants to Ja Morant to be the next face of the league. “To me I think the obvious answer is Ja. Because the NBA is entertainment. What I mean by that is there was always a Michael Jordan, just like, you know like God. You gonna watch these Atlanta Hawk games just to see what Dominique, just to see if he gonna get ’em one off. I’m going to watch these Portland games to see if Clyde gonna get him one. Ja’s teams are actually competitive when he’s there and he’s doing his thing,” Wayne told Bleacher Report‘s Taylor Rooks.
It’s not the first time that Wayne has spoken in support of Morant. “Do y’all know that boy? ‘Cause I don’t. I know him from dunking and jumping, and I only started knowing him when I started paying attention to him around his last year of college. He come from like a town with 3,000 people. Like, what? What y’all expect? Y’all gave him $200 million,” Wayne told the All The Smoke podcast while defending Morant’s actions earlier this year.
Ice Spice is headed to court after a Brooklyn rapper claims he stole his song to create her single “In Ha Mood.”
According to Billboard, rapper D. Chamberz filed a complaint in Brooklyn federal court stating the Ice Spice banger is “strikingly similar” to his own single “In That Mood.”
“By every method of analysis, ‘In Ha Mood’ is a forgery,” the complaint reads. “Any proper comparative analysis of the beat, lyrics, hook, rhythmic structure, metrical placement, and narrative context will demonstrate that ‘In Ha Mood’ was copied.”
The suit also names producer RiotUSA, Universal Music Group, Capitol Records, and 10K Projects.
The documents also read, “Non-expert listeners have independently pointed out that Defendants ‘stole’ ‘In That Mood’ in creating ‘In Ha Mood.’ The two songs clearly employ numerous noticeably similar composition elements and lyrics, which result in a sound and feel that are very much alike.”
You can hear both singles below and read the full documents on Billboard.
Fredo, a name that resonates with hip-hop enthusiasts, especially in the UK, has been making waves in the music industry. As of 2024, Fredo’s net worth is estimated to be around $2 Million US Dollars, according to The Sun, a testament to his talent and hard work.

Born Marvin William Bailey on March 6, 1994, in Queen’s Park, London, Fredo’s journey wasn’t always smooth. He faced challenges early on, getting expelled from school before completing his GCSEs. Despite the hurdles, his passion for music remained undeterred. His diverse background, with a father from Barbados and a mother of English and Moroccan descent, might have played a role in shaping his unique sound.
Fredo’s musical career took off in 2016 with the release of his EP They Ain’t 100. Collaborations with renowned artists like Dave and Tory Lanez further solidified his position in the industry. His collaboration with Dave, “Funky Friday,” even secured the top spot in the UK charts in 2018. Other notable tracks include “All I Ever Wanted” and “Money Talks,” showcasing his versatility and prowess as an artist.
His debut album, Third Avenue, released in 2019, was a significant milestone. Following its success, Fredo dropped two more albums in 2021, Money Can’t Buy Happinessand Independence Day. Both albums received acclaim and showcased Fredo’s growth as an artist.

A significant portion of Fredo’s net worth can be attributed to his massive streaming numbers. With over two million monthly listeners on Spotify, it’s evident that his music resonates with a vast audience. Additionally, his partnership with the trainer company Kick Game has been lucrative, with the rapper hosting events at the company’s stores.
Fredo’s influence isn’t limited to music. He boasts a strong social media presence, with over a million followers on Instagram and nearly 400,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel, where his music videos garner millions of views.
Conclusion
Fredo’s net worth in 2024 stands as a testament to his talent, dedication, and the love he receives from his fans. From facing challenges in his early life to becoming one of the UK’s most popular rappers, his journey is nothing short of inspirational. As he continues to produce chart-topping hits and collaborate with big names in the industry, there’s no doubt that Fredo’s star will only shine brighter in the years to come.
Bow Wow is a seasoned artist who rose to fame young, playing in the big leagues. Now, over two decades into his career, the rapper is certainly not a kid anymore. In fact, over the years, he has welcomed kids of his own. Bow Wow is now as much a father as he is a rapper. For over a decade, his journey through the music industry has been accompanied by a parallel exploration of fatherhood.
The emcee recently made headlines after posting a now-deleted Instagram story about his son’s mother. “I wish my baby mother got run over by a mack truck. Not Joie, the bum y’all don’t [know],” he wrote on January 3. Evidently, despite being the mother of his child, Bow Wow’s relationship with this woman isn’t great. Although he deleted it soon after posting, he has faced backlash. Regardless of what the relationship with the mothers of his children may be like, the rapper seems to love his kids. So far, he only has two children, and here’s some information about them.
Born on April 27, 2011, Shai Moss is Bow Wow’s first of two kids. The rapper shares his now-12-year-old daughter with model and influencer Joie Chavis. While the child was born in April, it was in July 2011 that Bow Wow revealed that he had become a father. “For the past three years [I’ve] been battling life. I felt as if I had no purpose to live (Thinking selfishly) until God gave me the illest gift of my life. No [Lamborghini], no [American Express Black Card] nothing amounts to my lil girl,” he wrote in a statement posted on his website.
Although she’s still a youngster, Shai Moss is already following in her father’s footsteps. The young talent has starred in several movies and TV shows over the last couple of years. These include A Screenshot to Santa, Side Hustle, and We Got This. However, in 2022, Bow Wow revealed that his daughter really isn’t interested in becoming an actress.
Shai’s personal life is kept quite private, as it should be. In fact, according to her Instagram bio, the account is “Monitored by Mom” and doesn’t include any posts that reveal anything too personal. Like Joie Chavis, Bow Wow is also a present figure in Shai’s life. On her twelfth birthday last year, he wished her a happy birthday on his Instagram account, writing, “Big 12. Happy birthday to my daughter. Dad loves you. We going big today.”
Bow Wow officially became a father of two in 2020. The rapper’s second child and son, Stone Moss, was born to model Olivia Sky on June 23, 2020. Subsequently, Bow Wow revealed him to the public via Twitter (now X) on September 24, 2020. However, a year later, he seemingly denied his son when he answered a question on the platform. After a fan asked if he would like more children, Bow Wow responded, “HELL NO im fine w shai!” Furthermore, answering another question about if he had a son, he wrote in response, “NP Billie Jean for the 2nd time.” While he didn’t plainly state such, fans took his response as a reference to the “the kid is not my son” line from the famed Michael Jackson song.
However, the Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta star cleared the air about the speculations soon after. In a Tea Jones TV interview posted on October 2, 2021, Bow Wow addressed the subject. “I would never deny my kid or anything like that,” he said in the interview. Stone Moss is now three years old and growing strong.
After having been separated for over a year, Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet are finally officially ending their marriage. Momoa, 44, and Boney, 56, who married in October of 2017 after dating for about a decade, cited “irreconcilable differences” in court paperwork filed on January 5 by Bonet. Bonet lists their date of separation as October 7, 2020.
Boney filed for joint legal and physical custody and neither is asking the other for spousal support. The couple’s shared asset distribution has also been “confirmed and agreed between the parties.”
The couple first announced that they were separating almost two years ago, with an announcement on Momoa’s Instagram that stated “We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times…A revolution is unfolding ~ and our family is of no exception… feeling and growing from the seismic shifts occurring. And so~ We share our family news: That we are parting ways in marriage.” They also stated, “We share this not because we think it’s newsworthy ~ but so that~ as we go about our lives we may do so with dignity and honesty.” (The post has since been deleted.)
The couple shares 16-year-old daughter Lola and 15-year-old son Nakoa-Wolf. Bonet is also the mother of Zoe Kravitz from her prior relationship with Lenny Kravitz. In 2022, even after announcing their separation, Momoa attended Zoe’s premiere of “The Batman” with Lola and Nakoa, stating that they are all “still a family.”
