Teyana Taylor hits back at criticism that her role in One Battle After Another was “over-sexualized” in a new interview with Vanity Fair. “Another person interviewed me and mentioned something about Perfidia and how people felt like she was overly horny,” Taylor told the outlet. Following her win at the Golden Globes, social media erupted with conversations about her chracter Perfidia Beverly Hills. She added, “And I’m like, do you realize the first thing we see of Perfidia is her having a gun to a guy’s head, and he calls her ‘sweet thing’? Are you — are we watching the same film?”

Lauryn Hill paid tribute to Fugees collaborator John Forté after his passing. Describing him as “a gentle soul” recalled her and Forté becoming “fast friends” after their initial meeting. “I loved him. My family loved him,” Hill wrote. “I remember meeting his mom with her sweet voice for the first time. And walking the New York City streets with him in full youthful fascination mode. Our generation of hip-hop was young and at the ascent of its epic rise. We were both there…participating and taking it all in, full of excitement and possibility.” “Forté was a gentleman and a scholar with a strong pen, deep soul, and kind heart,” Hill  continued. “Part Brownsville, part prep-school, he had access to a way of expressing himself. With a vocabulary and fluency that was very unique for the time. John was a gentle soul beneath all of his Brownsville chanting. I wish we’d had the opportunity to embrace that even more back then.” View this post on Instagram Hill remembered introducing Forté to Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel, where he became one of the Refugee Camp All Stars. She added  that her “heart aches” for his family. “I love you John,” she added. “Rest in peace, gentle king.” As WBLS reported,  the Grammy-nominated artist passed away at his home in Chilmark, Massachusetts, on Monday. He was 50. With the Refugee Camp All-Stars, Forté toured with the Fugees. He contributed to Wyclef Jean’s platinum-selling debut solo album, The Carnival, in 1997. He was featured on the LP’s first single, “We’re Tryin’ To Stay Alive.” Forté released his debut solo album, Poly Sci, which was produced by Jean in 1998. Jean said that, “John’s voice was unmistakable.“He was more than a collaborator—he was family.” Forté is survived by his wife, photographer Lara Fuller, and their two children.

Ne-Yo revealed how he’s in one relationship with three different women. ​During an appearance on Sherri, Ne-Yo shared the details about a polyamorous lifestyle. Sherri Shepherd honestly said that she didn’t understand how he makes it happen. ​“None of it!” Shepherd said. ​“I’ll keep this brief,” he began. “So after my very public, very ugly divorce, I made the decision that I was never going to tell another lie to a woman ever again in life.” ​“I own the thing that I did in that marriage to mess it up. I own it completely,” Ne-Yo told Shepherd, adding, “And I decided I didn’t want to be the reason that anybody ever felt like that ever again.” ​Ne-Yo then explained that “one of the three” current girlfriends had been with him longer. He then presented the idea of a polyamorous relationship to her. “I basically went to her and said, ‘Listen, you know I rock with you. You know I love you, but I have to be honest with you. It’s not just you,” he explained And I would love for you to meet these other women. If we can figure out a way to do something together, cool. If not, that’s cool, too.” “Everybody chose to stick around,” Ne-Yo said. “The main understanding is I’m not in three relationships. I’m in one relationship with three people.” Ne-Yo recalled how the beginnings of the polyamorous lifestyle with his three girlfriends began. “We figure out ways to make everything work,” he continued. The Grammy Award winner noted that each woman “gets their individual time,” but “group time is just as important.” Shepherd responded to Ne-Yo, saying it  “seems like more work” to come up with gifts and time for each of his girlfriends. “I’ve never been afraid of hard work. Never ever,” he replied with a smile.

Things got very real at the Night Patrol screening — and the energy in the room matched the chaos of the film itself.

A$AP Rocky is opening up about love, family, and personal transformation with Rihanna as he continues promoting his upcoming album Don’t Be Dumb. Appearing on the New York Times podcast Popcast, hosted by Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli, the Harlem rapper offered a rare, reflective look at how his relationship with Rihanna reshaped his life long before they became parents. “A woman will change your whole life—especially if she’s a companion,” Rocky said during the conversation. A$AP Rocky is set to appear tomorrow on Popcast, hosted by Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli. Rocky also talks about realizing Rihanna was the love of his life 10 years in the making of knowing each other, and says his mother encouraged him to go after her. pic.twitter.com/c3SKYCaff9 — Ahmed/The Ears/IG: BigBizTheGod (@big_business_) January 15, 2026 The comment landed as more than a romantic aside. Instead, it framed a larger shift in how he understands partnership, purpose, and maturity. Rocky described being with Rihanna as “taking a blindfold off,” suggesting a new sense of clarity rather than constraint. In his telling, companionship isn’t about status or image. It’s about alignment and perspective. That clarity, he explained, arrived even before fatherhood. Rocky referenced his children to underline how his relationship with Rihanna laid the emotional foundation for becoming a parent. Love came first, then family. The order matters. It signals intention and stability, pushing back against long-standing hip-hop narratives that treat family as an afterthought to fame or success. A$AP Rocky Recalls His Mom Always Telling Him Rihanna Is “The One” In New Popcast, Promoting ‘Don’t Be Dumb’ One of the most striking moments came when Rocky recalled advice from his late mother. “I know you like this girl that you’re with right now… but I want you with Riri. I’m telling you she real,” she once told him. Rocky laughed as he remembered questioning her certainty. “Mom why you keep saying that? That girl don’t even want me like that.” The story adds depth to his public evolution. By invoking his mother’s intuition, Rocky framed his relationship with Rihanna as something rooted in family approval and foresight, not celebrity spectacle. His disbelief at the time only makes the outcome feel more human. As Don’t Be Dumb approaches, Rocky’s comments read like a quiet mission statement. He isn’t selling reinvention. He’s documenting growth—earned through love, grounded by family, and clarified by companionship.

Comedy star Druski has hip-hop sharing hilarious reactions to his impersonation of a Mega Church pastor in his insanely viral new skit. Released Monday, Jan. 12, the sketch surged past 60 million views in a matter of days, with reactions pouring in from across hip-hop, sports, and entertainment. The skit’s subject matter was immediately hit with scrutiny by the religious culture. View this post on Instagram The premise is maximalist by design. Druski appears in a designer outfit, harnessed above the pulpit as smoke blasts fill the sanctuary to the sound of Kirk Franklin’s 1998 gospel staple “Revolution.” He delivers his sermon mid-air, summons an elderly woman to the front of the church, then casually reveals he impregnated her. He later announces expansion plans for “Collect & Praise Ministries,” including a move into the “Motherland,” as the spectacle escalates. The exaggeration feels extreme, yet grounded enough in reality to sting. Druski leaned into the moment online, amplifying the reaction rather than retreating from it. “WHAT CHURCH YALL KNOW DO THIS THIS IS A SAFE PLACE ,” he wrote in the comments, before marveling at the engagement: “OVER 200K COMMENTS IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS ?!?!?! .” Hip Hop Reacts To Druski’s Viral Mega Church Comedy Sketch Public figures quickly echoed the sentiment. Former NFL star Chad Ochocinco framed the humor through a generational lens, writing, “My grandma would be in tears laughing & ask for forgiveness after.” Killer Mike kept it simple and emphatic, posting, “N***a U Amazing,” signaling appreciation for satire that dares to punch at powerful institutions. Joe Budden Podcast co-host Ice pointed to where the real friction might emerge. “Man wait til this cross nana and them Facebook feed,” he joked, anticipating backlash once the skit reaches more conservative audiences. Boxer Claressa Shields called Druski “the most unhinged Comedian of our time,” while Sexyy Red asked, “Now who let dis man use they church dawg,” expressing disbelief at the setting itself. For some, the humor cut close. Legendary rapper Kwame noted, “This guy’s videos are so spot on that it’s sometimes triggering.” Chuck Inglish of The Cool Kids summed up the broader consensus: “This nigga does not miss.” What makes the skit resonate is not just its audacity, but its accuracy. Druski isn’t inventing these tensions. He’s magnifying them, using comedy to expose contradictions many already recognize but rarely see addressed so bluntly. In doing so, he turned a viral joke into a cultural flashpoint.

SZA stepped into a heated social media conversation on January 14, offering a rare but pointed critique of how celebrity relationships are dissected online, particularly when pop psychology language is presented as fact. The R&B singer weighed in under an Instagram post shared by content creator @Julietheisofficial, which featured a photo of Justin Bieber and his wife, Hailey Bieber. The post included captions suggesting that relationships only succeed when women tolerate emotional imbalance, using celebrity couples as implied evidence. Though the Biebers were central to the imagery, the claims were made without any direct knowledge of their marriage. SZA questioned that authority head-on. “Hi are you a licensed therapist or psychologist?” she wrote in the comments. “You speak with SUCH certainty and I’d like to know. Peace.” Sza talking about how people make theories about Justin & Hailey Bieber’s marriage without even knowing them, she spilled here! pic.twitter.com/zPy53C7Pdu — jdb. (@_Jdbiebers) January 14, 2026 The message struck a careful balance, direct in its challenge but calm in tone, signaling concern over how confidently the conclusions were being presented. @Julietheisofficial replied by clarifying her credentials. She said she holds both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in psychology and has worked as a behavioral specialist and researcher. She added that she is now a full-time content creator who offers coaching and mentorship services, though she is not a licensed therapist. SZA Rips Social Media User Over Misinformation About Justin Bieber & Hailey Bieber SZA responded with appreciation, then drew a firm line. “Thank you so much!” she wrote, before adding personal context. “My sister also has a masters in psychology and IS a licensed therapist.” From there, her concern sharpened. While she said she respects “study and inquiry posed as just that,” she took issue with “publicly diagnosing people you have absolutely no contact with and presenting that information as fact under the premise of education.” SZA warned that such framing “may be a bit dangerous,” not only for the celebrities being discussed, but also for audiences consuming the content as truth rather than opinion. She closed with reassurance. “Just an opinion! All respect to you.” The exchange quickly resonated beyond the comments section. Celebrity marriages like Justin and Hailey Bieber’s are routinely used as teaching tools. SZA’s response highlighted the ethical gray area between analysis and assumption. Without naming the Biebers directly in her critique, she defended their privacy while calling for more care in how influence and expertise are presented online. Rather than escalating the moment, SZA reframed it, reminding followers that certainty without access can blur into speculation. In doing so, she challenged a content culture built on confidence, urging restraint, responsibility, and respect.

Boxing superstar Gervonta “Tank” Davis is facing renewed legal jeopardy after Florida authorities issued an arrest warrant tied to allegations raised by a former partner in an ongoing civil lawsuit. Courtney Rossel filed suit in October in Miami-Dade County, accusing Davis of physical and emotional abuse throughout their relationship. Her complaint asserts claims of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. On Thursday, the Miami Gardens Police Department confirmed it had obtained a warrant for Davis’ arrest on charges of “false imprisonment, battery, and attempted kidnapping.” Police said the warrant followed a review of security footage connected to an alleged confrontation earlier this week. According to authorities, the footage was consistent with Rossel’s description of events. Law enforcement officials have not said whether Davis has turned himself in or retained counsel in connection with the criminal matter. Rossel’s civil complaint alleges a recurring pattern of violence. The filing claims Davis “on multiple occasions” choked her, threatened her life, and assaulted her in both private and public settings. The lawsuit characterizes the conduct as escalating over time, rather than the result of isolated disputes. The most recent incident described in the complaint allegedly occurred on Monday, the 27th. Rossel claims Davis “grabbed, choked, and dragged” her through a stairwell, kitchen, and rear exit of a residence. Miami Gardens PD Issues A Warrant For Boxing Superstar Gervonta “Tank” Davis’ Arrest For Alleged Domestic Violence She further alleges that Davis assaulted her in a parking garage, striking her in the back of the head while she screamed for help. Prosecutors have not indicated whether additional criminal counts are under consideration. Davis, who holds an undefeated professional record of 30-0-1 with 28 knockouts, last fought in May, when he secured a controversial draw against Lamont Roach Jr. The civil lawsuit and resulting warrant have placed his boxing career under heightened scrutiny as legal proceedings advance. The allegations have also had immediate commercial repercussions. Influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul canceled a planned December bout after Rossel’s lawsuit became public. The move renewed attention on Davis’ prior encounters with the criminal justice system involving domestic violence allegations. Despite the pending charges, Davis remains the WBA lightweight champion. The sanctioning body has not announced disciplinary action. Rossel’s civil case remains active as the criminal investigation continues, raising questions about athlete accountability and institutional responses when abuse allegations emerge.
