Tristan Thompson is in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons once again. Yesterday, December 3rd, it was revealed that the Sacramento Kings player is in the midst of some potential third baby mama drama with a personal trainer from Houston, Texas named Maralee Nichols, who recently gave birth to a little boy she claims to be the athlete’s, and has apparently named Angelou Kash Thompson.

Following the story we shared yesterday about the initial rumours, screenshots have surfaced from an alleged conversation between the Brampton native and Nichols, where Thompson says, “You know how I feel. My feelings haven’t changed at all. Won’t be involved at all. Btw if you think having this baby is gonna make you some money, it’s completely wrong.”

“You are aware that I’m retiring after this season,” the receipts read. “So in terms of support it will be whatever is required monthly for someone who’s unemployed. It’s Texas so it will only be a couple hundred dollars. So you better off taking this 75k I’m offering cause you won’t get nothing near that with having a kid with a father who’s unemployed. All you will have is a baby with a father who has zero involvement with the child and a few hundred dollars of child support a month.”

According to Page Six, Thompson was pushing for Nichols to get an abortion, but that obviously didn’t happen, as we can see from her Instagram page. “I want to thank everyone for your well wishes,” she wrote over a snippet of the tiny bundle of joy. “Me and baby are doing great. Right now my heart and mind is on focusing on the baby right now. I am heartbroken that Angelou’s father doesn’t want to be in his life. I am hoping this lawsuit will bring us together and we can be a family.”

As we shared yesterday, Nichols claims that the baby was conceived back in March, when the 30-year-old was in H-town celebrating his birthday. If the timeline is correct, then he was still publicly with Khloe Kardashian. TMZ notes that the personal trainer has filed legal documents to establish paternity, and claims that she and Thompson were together for five months while he says their hook-up was just a one night stand.

Thompson has yet to publicly address all the drama. Check back in with HNHH for more updates on the star’s paternity suit.

It seems like Timbaland and Swizz Beatz are holding out on some of the best Verzuz battles for the end of the year. On Thursday, Three 6 Mafia and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony went hit-for-hit but the event did get tense at points. Specifically, Bizzy Bone called out Three 6 Mafia for disrespecting him on stage before Juicy J yelled, “Suck a dick!” After a bottle was hurled towards Three 6, Juicy J made the leap with a Superman punch that fortunately didn’t connect.

At the end of the event, both groups hugged it out and showed love to one another, as all Verzuz should end. Bizzy Bone recently caught up with TMZ where he reflected on the little tussle on stage. Bizzy didn’t seem to feel like he was in the wrong for what he said, describing the insults traded as NSFW. “Everybody pretty much understood what it was. You know, from what everybody was telling me, they was like, you really ain’t do no wrong,” he said. “It is what it is. Man, it happened. It’s hip-hop, man. People fight, man. Whatever.”

Bizzy Bone said that the end result of the show was for the culture as a whole. He later echoed the words that Swizz Beatz told him after the altercation went down. While Triller and Bizzy’s family encouraged him to return to the stage, Swizz was apparently down for the theatrics of it all. “Swizz told me, you know, it’s hip-hop, b. Like, I ain’t trippin’,” Bizzy recalled. “Everybody saying that [Swizz] was saying something. He wasn’t talking about us. Like, we do our own prayers.”

Bizzy also discussed his challenge to the members of Three 6 Mafia to denounce Satan. Bizzy explained that Three 6 were getting upset over what he said, in the first place, which was enough of a gesture for him to believe they denounced Satan anyway.

When it comes to celebrating birthdays, Hip Hop artists do not mess around. Today (December 3) marked both JT from City Girls and Lil Baby’s birthdays, and these Quality Control artists have been sharing photos and videos of their celebrations on social media. Lil Uzi Vert went all out for his girlfriend and gave her a McLaren, causing JT to express just how in love she is with the rapper.

Meanwhile, it has been a busy day for Lil Baby, as well. Following videos of him making an appearance at his ex Jayda Cheave’s Pretty Little Things event popping up online, more images of Baby partying for his big day have been slowly surfacing on social media.

Of course, a rapper’s birthday isn’t complete without a little bling here and there, and Lil Baby’s loved ones showed out. The My Turn hitmaker flashed a few of his gifts on his Instagram Story including several iced-out watches and a stack of cash. There were more designer clothes than Baby could handle, and there were even custom portraits of the rapper given as gifts.

We’re sure a wild night is to be had by Lil Baby and his entourage, and aside from him and JT, there are also two other notable celebrity birthdays today—Trina and Tiffany Haddish. Check out highlights from Lil Baby’s celebration below.

When Drake’s feature on “Splash Brothers” was pulled from French Montana’s They Got Amnesia, rumors circulated that it was because of lyrics about Kim Kardashian. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case, according to Montana, who recently revealed the real truth about the song. Drake has been facing his share of legal troubles stemming from Astroworld, as we have reported that both he and Travis Scott have been named in lawsuits totaling into the billions.

French Montana claims that Drake’s song wasn’t completed and Drizzy asked him to delay the release of They Got Amnesia because there were still edits to be made. At that same time, Astroworld occurred, causing Drake to shift his focus.

“The record wasn’t fully done yet,” Montana told Drink Champs. “We still had to change a couple of things in the record, and he was telling me to push the album back so I can have the record.” Fans should be excited to know that “Splash Brothers” will arrive in the future.

“He was going to make the change and that thing just happened,” Montana added. “So, the guy’s not in the right state of mind, like nine people died and a nine-year-old, God bless man, send love to all they families. I don’t expect him to get in the studio and fix the record, like that would be selfish of me.”

We’re not sure how many controversies DaBaby has been involved in this year, but his exes are sending subliminal shade toward one another over on Instagram. DaBaby and Meme have been on-again-off-again, but despite any rifts, they are solid. She has, in her own way, let it be known that she won’t be going anywhere, and it was clearly stated during DaniLeigh’s relationship with the rapper.

DaniLeigh and DaBaby reportedly dated for some time before she became pregnant. They managed to keep things under wraps for as long as they could, but their relationship came to a screeching halt during that Livestream ruckus that resulted in the police being called.

Meme and DaniLeigh have also had their social media moments as they’ve gone back and forth trading insults and the like, but today (December 3) they seemingly addressed one another indirectly. An Instagram user asked DaniLeigh if Meme stepped out wearing her shoes. The person told the singer that if the rumor was true, she should “like” the comment. A screen-recording showed that DaniLeigh did just that, suggesting it was true.

The recording circulated online and over on Meme’s page, another person teased her under a selfie image. “Dem bet not be Dani boots,” the person commented. Meme replied, “And if they is what her scary self gone do??? [crying laughing emojis] post on her story back to back?” Although their kids are siblings, it doesn’t look as if these two will be friends anytime soon.

She recently called him out for teasing her, but Madonna is in hot water over a photo she shared to her Instagram Story. The famed Pop icon turned heads once again when she stripped down and served up a series of poses in a photoshoot. She spread her legs open and crawled under a bed, and while it was all a bit bizarre, Madonna has been pushing the envelope for decades.

While these sorts of antics aren’t off-brand for the singer, 50 Cent chimed in with his usual trolling. Madonna caught wind of his remarks and responded by suggesting that he may have just been jealous.

Madonna was obviously a tad peeved about being called out by Fif, who she wrote was “pretending to be her friend.” In her post, she used an old picture of herself hugged up and smiling with 50 Cent back on MTV’s TRL, but fans quickly noted that the original version of that image looked a tad different. It was clear that Madonna & Co. edited the picture to glam up her look, but they also enlarged 50 Cent’s nose in the process.

Fif apologized to Madonna for his jibes, but Royce Da 5’9″ surfaced with a few questions. He wanted to know why 50 Cent was quick to mend fences with Madonna after teasing her about her looks, but he didn’t do the same when he made fun of Lil Kim—twice. Check it out below.

It seemed that Faith Evans and Stevie J’s marriage was over, but their recent actions have suggested there is still hope on the horizon. We previously reported on Stevie J filing for divorce from the acclaimed R&B singer. They wed back in 2018 but have been friends for decades, however, there has been reported trouble in the marriage for some time.

Faith was reportedly arrested in connection with a domestic violence incident but Stevie was quick to hop online, declaring his love for the singer. Then, news of their divorce filing emerged, and not long after, a video of Stevie berating Evans while accusing her of cheating made the rounds.

Evans recently caught up with TMZ via a phone call interview and during the conversation, she was asked about the status of her marriage. The host wanted to know if everything was “good” between the couple following their recent news reports and viral moments.

“Stevie’s cool, he’s in the kitchen right now waiting for me to finish,” said Evans. “But I stopped discussing my personal life in the public back in the ’90s. [laughs] But he’s fine and I’m okay and it is what it is.” She played coy about her relationship status and it doesn’t look as if Evans is divulging any more. Meanwhile, Stevie recently shared a video online apologizing to his wife for his behavior and accusing her of being unfaithful.

It’s double trouble birthday celebrations today (December 3) as two rappers go all out for their big days. Two Quality Control artists—JT and Lil Baby—are doing it big for their birthdays and while Baby kicks back with a few friends at what is expected to be a long night of partying, JT has been enjoying her evening with boyfriend Lil Uzi Vert.

These two were loud and proud about their relationship when they first revealed and confirmed their romance, but once their fanbases jumped on social media with one too many opinions about their relationship, we’ve been seeing less of JT and Uzi together on our timelines.

However, the love between these two is stronger than ever and in true style, Uzi wanted to make sure that his leading lady received nothing but the best of the best. Many Hip Hop boyfriends and husbands go over the top for their partners, and Uzi was on brand. In clips shared on social media, it looks as if Uzi gifted JT with a brand new McLaren.

“I’m screaming, uziiiiiiiii wtf I was not did not expect this,” JT tweeted. “I’m so in love I never thought I would be, I be pinching myself.” Happy Birthday, JT! Check out her posts below.

This holiday season has been filled with controversial cases. There was the Kyle Rittenhouse acquittal, the convictions related to Ahmaud Arbery’s murder, and now Jussie Smollett is having his day in court. The actor is accused of wasting the Chicago Police Department’s time and resources by allegedly staging an assault for publicity, and it is an accusation that Smollett has denied for years.

This case has taken a turn now that Smollett’s attorney reportedly called for a mistrial. According to the New York Post, Tamara Walker claims that while questioning Olabinjo Osundairo, one of the brothers who claim Smollett hired them, about his reportedly past use of homophobic language, the judge shut down the defense.

Judge James Linn reportedly dismissed the line of questioning and Walker asked for a sidebar. She alleges that Linn “physically lunged” at her during the chat and witnesses stated that Walker looked as if she was on the verge of tears. The remaining members of Smollett’s legal team requested the mistrial. They were denied.

“When you said the word mistrial on these grounds, frankly I was stunned you’d even consider a mistrial based on this,” Linn said, denying that he lunged at the attorney. “I marched right back behind my bench.”

Heather Widell, another attorney, claimed that Linn has used nonverbal indicators in front of the jury, including “snarling” when sustaining objections from the prosecution.
