On August 13, 2025, during an X (formerly Twitter) Spaces livestream from Los Angeles, Cardi B made waves—not for her own music, but for her staunch defense of South African singer Tyla. Frustrated by the relentless negativity aimed at artists, Cardi didn’t hold back:

Hollywood has lost one of its hidden giants. Dan Tana, the legendary restaurateur behind the West Hollywood hotspot that carried his name, passed away at the age of 90 in Belgrade, Serbia. For decades, Dan Tana’s wasn’t just a place to eat—it was the beating heart of late-night Los Angeles. The little yellow house on Santa Monica Boulevard was where stars, moguls, and everyday locals could sit side by side, sipping wine and digging into veal parm at 2 a.m. It was cozy, class

Social media is buzzing with claims that Dr. Umar Johnson’s long-anticipated Frederick Douglass Marcus Garvey (FDMG) Academy will be auctioned off by the state of Delaware later this month. The posts have sparked a wave of shock, side-eye, and heated debate — but how much of this is fact, and how much is just internet smoke?

For many, including myself, this loss feels personal.

She didn’t just entertain us—she inspired us with her wit, her strength, and her ability to reinvent herself.

Let’s Talk Facts, Hype, and Political Games! In what sounds like a rejected script from a political satire show, Donald Trump is once again trending—and not for anything presidential. The thing is HE HAS BEEN SAID THIS Y'ALL!

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson might be known for surviving nine bullets, dominating the rap game, and flipping TV into a billion-dollar business—but lately, it’s the courtroom, not the boardroom, that’s been dominating the headlines. Let’s just say: 2025 has NOT been a quiet year for Mr. Get Rich or Die Tryin’. From being accused of weaponizing a car door against a photographer, to dragging his baby mama into court over a decades-old life rights deal, to trying (and failing) t

Y’all, the streets are buzzing and I had to tap in. One of Memphis’s finest, GloRilla, just got arrested — but not for what you might think. This whole situation is giving victim turned villain, and honestly, it doesn’t sit right with me. Here’s the Tea… Over the weekend, GloRilla’s home in Forsyth County, Georgia was literally invaded — I’m talking three intruders breaking into her house around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 19. Now get this — Glo wasn’t even home.

Let’s get one thing straight—this wasn’t a meltdown. This was Nicki Minaj stand Let’s get one thing straight—this wasn’t a meltdown.This was Nicki Minaj standing up for herself, her name, her legacy, and her truth.
