Former Cosby star and father of Bronny James’ girlfriend, Dondré Whitfield, has found himself on the wrong side of Megan Thee Stallion fans. The onslaught of criticism began after the actor hopped into the comment section on a post from the Hoopin’ N Hollerin’ podcast’s Instagram. The now-viral post features former NBA players and hosts, Jason Williams and Pat Beverley, discussing Klay Thompson’s poor performance on the court as of late. Williams theorized that Klay’s relationship with Megan could be what’s affecting his performance. “It only takes one p**** to drag a battleship across the desert. That’s how powerful it is.” He added, “I ain’t sayin’ that’s what it is … but that might be what it is.” Whitfield was one of the few commenters who seemed amused by the Williams’ remarks. “J Will…., Dats wild!!!” he wrote. “Shame on you,” one person said in response to the actor’s comment Not long after, his comment was met with dozens of responses, some calling the actor’s reaction “disgusting.” One person replied, “Why are you laughing? [I] thought you were better than this. Bet you’ll like this being said about your beautiful black woman @sallirichwhit for your failed career. Shame on you.” Whereas another person wrote, “@alldondre, surprise you thought this was funny.” Klay Thompson eventually entered the chat and shared his thoughts on Williams’ take and anyone who agreed with him. “Referring to my GF as a ‘p****’ is so disgusting and disturbing. Especially from someone who played in the NBA. How would y’all feel if I referred to your wives in such a way? @patbev21” Thompson wrote, tagging both Beverley and Williams directly. “Do better, fellas. Very disappointing.” Earlier this year, Thompson and Megan became Instagram official and would make their red-carpet debut at the rapper’s annual Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala.

Rory Farrell of the Rory & Mal podcast has deleted his X account after receiving an onslaught of criticism following dozens of resurfaced anti-Black posts that he made. Several of the posts took shots at Black women, including prominent celebrities like Rihanna and Beyoncé. Amid rising tensions on the timeline, he hopped on X Spaces to clear things up; however, that’s when things took a turn for the worse. The conversation—which included many hip-hop fans, journalists, and tastemakers—didn’t take long to heat up, especially after Rory met their criticism with a sarcastic tone. Many questioned his authenticity and connection to not only Black culture. The popular producer and podcast host was joined by his co-hosts Mal and Demarius, who did their best to defend their comrade, but it seemed to fall on deaf ears. Rory has deleted his account to stop more tweets from being unearthed. So far over 100 anti black tweets have been uncovered. pic.twitter.com/GTmvrDgYMC — Whooping feet (@WhoopingFeet) November 14, 2025 Rory’s Lackluster Response Labeled As ‘Violent’ Things boiled over after a woman in the space referred to Rory’s dismissive attitude as “violent.” To which he responded, “I couldn’t agree more with everything that you said. My point the entire time has been saying I’m not apologizing for anyone that has said that I’ve called Black women ugly or roaches. That’s all I’ve said—I apologize for everything else. Don’t ever say I have called Black woman ugly or roaches or anything that y’all have been trying to put on me because I never said that.” The timing hasn’t helped him either. Earlier this week, he made headlines for his comments about Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” earning Grammy nominations. Now, with the resurfacing of his past tweets, the conversation around Rory has shifted from music debates to accountability. He is not alone in facing that scrutiny, though, as Kayla Nicole is also experiencing a similar wave of old content being brought back to the surface.

On Friday (Nov.14), Michelle Obama hosted a live conference, with Tracee Ellis Ross as its host, to discuss her book, The Look, and explore “Beauty, Culture & Confidence.” Throughout the hour-long discussion, the former First Lady didn’t hold back her thoughts about harmful beauty standards—specifically, how straight hair is pedestalized and “traps” Black women. “Let me explain something to White people,” Michelle said to the crowd. “Our hair comes out of our heads naturally, in a curly pattern. So when we’re straightening it to follow your beauty standards, we are trapped by the straightness.” Michelle continued: “That’s why so many of us can’t swim, and we run away from the water. [I] [mean] people won’t even go to the gym because we tryna to keep our hair straight for y’all.” The IMO Podcast host calls the process of maintaining straight hair “exhausting” and time-consuming. She also pointed out why legislative efforts, such as the C.R.O.W.N. Act, had to be enacted to prohibit discrimination against Black people, especially Black women and girls, for how they wear their hair. “Why do we need an act—an act of law—to tell White folks out of our hair? Don’t tell me how to wear my hair, don’t wonder about it, [and] don’t touch it,” Michelle added.

I’m thankful to be at a stage in life where I feel comfortable expressing myself freely — wearing what I love and doing what feels true to me. And I’m excited to share some of what I’ve learned along the way.” She continued, “It’s a reflection on my lifelong journey with fashion, hair, and beauty. Inside, you’ll find some of the outfits that have meant the most to me, but more importantly, the moments that I lived through in them — big and small, personal and political, historic and ordinary — that were as memorable as the clothes themselves.”

Pusha T’s year has already been filled with career milestones. Now a personal one is taking center stage. Virginia Williams shared the news on Instagram, offering a quiet but unmistakable signal. The couple is preparing to welcome another child. Her post featured a serene photo taken inside an art gallery, where she revealed her baby bump with understated confidence. Beneath the image, she wrote, “2nd masterpiece on the way.” This caption makes clear the family’s next chapter is already in motion.

The Detroit Lions are setting a new course for their Thanksgiving halftime show. This is through a multiyear partnership with Eminem and Shady Records co-founder Paul Rosenberg. The agreement, which runs through 2027, hands creative control of the annual performance to two of Detroit’s most influential music figures. They will now choose the artists who take the stage each year. Rosenberg said the collaboration feels both personal and historic. “Partnering with the Lions allows us to join one of Detroit’s most cherished traditions. We are eager to curate unforgettable performances for fans both at Ford Field and beyond, reaching millions across the nation.” His comments reflect a shared belief that the city’s music and its football culture can elevate one another. Wide receiver Jameson Williams welcomed the move as a chance to strengthen the team’s bond with the community. “This is a significant opportunity for us to showcase local artists,” he said. “Involving a Detroiter in the selection process is vital; it not only enriches the event but also fosters community pride.” He added that Detroit’s identity continues to shape the team’s relationship with its fans. A star-powered Detroit lineup sets a new tone for Lions halftime The Lions have also enlisted Jesse Collins Entertainment to produce the halftime show. This decision, President and CEO Rod Wood said, will bring new visibility to the event. “Working with Marshall and Paul—two of the music industry’s most celebrated figures and devoted Lions fans—is a game-changer for us. Their extensive experience will undoubtedly draw in premier talent. This will ensure that our Thanksgiving performance becomes one of the NFL’s most highly anticipated cultural events.” The announcement comes as Eminem surpasses 60 million monthly Spotify streams. He trails only Drake and Travis Scott among the most-played rappers worldwide. His continued global presence adds momentum—and a broader audience—to a project the Lions hope will become a defining part of the franchise’s identity. As Thanksgiving approaches, the collaboration signals more than a refreshed halftime lineup. It marks an effort to link Detroit’s musical legacy with one of the city’s oldest traditions. The goal is creating a holiday stage shaped by the people who helped put its sound on the map.

Kim Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, have filed a defamation lawsuit against Ray J, accusing the musician of reviving a decades-old chapter of their past to make allegations they say have no basis in fact. Their filing argues that Ray J’s recent statements misrepresent long-settled events and unfairly target both women in the public sphere. Ray J has countered with a lawsuit of his own, claiming that he and Kardashian filmed their sex tape consensually in 2003 and discussed releasing it three years later. He further alleges that Kardashian wanted Jenner to oversee the business side of the tape’s distribution. According to Ray J, the Kardashians have promoted a version of events suggesting the tape was leaked without her consent—a narrative he rejects outright. Kardashian’s attorney, Alex Spiro, pushed back sharply on Ray J’s account, calling it a last-ditch attempt to cloud the case. He described Ray J’s filing as “disjointed rambling” and insisted it would not intimidate their legal team or alter the course of the lawsuit. Escalating Public Tensions Just days before Kardashian and Jenner filed their complaint, Ray J hinted at launching an extensive RICO action against the family. During a livestream, he predicted that coverage surrounding the case would intensify and suggested that people close to Kardashian should brace for what he characterized as a major legal shift. Ray J drew further attention when he referenced the Kardashian family while discussing a documentary tied to prominent entertainment figures. He remarked that if someone accused the Kardashians of racketeering, he “might believe it,” a comment that added new fuel to an already fraught dispute. As the case moves forward, both sides face heightened scrutiny, and the long-running tensions between Ray J and the Kardashian family appear poised to play out once again—this time in a courtroom.

Fans are speculating if Mariah The Scientist is pregnant after Young Thug’s most comments go viral. A group of fans caught Thug outside and asked him about the status of the relationship with the singer. He says the two are still going strong, and in fact he just…”put a baby” in her. View this post on Instagram As previously reported, Young Thug recently publicly apologized to Mariah for his acts of infidelity. The Atlanta rapper issued a heartfelt statement on X (formerly Twitter) after leaked audio from 2022 surfaced, in which he admitted to cheating on Mariah just days before his arrest. In his message, Young Thug directly addressed Mariah, writing: “My baby I was wrong and I’m sorry for what I put u through. U deserved better from me… I hope I haven’t lost u forever… everybody leave her out of this please she’s an innocent girl and feels bad about all of this. Please give her peace.” While Mariah did not directly spoken on the apology, she took to Instagram Stories with what many fans believe was a telling response. The singer posted lyrics from her song “Rainy Days,” featured on her 2025 album Hearts Sold Separately: “I was naive, not ignorant. … I put forth an open heart and I’ve been hurt. Looking back in retrospect, that ain’t what I deserve. Want it back in blood, and blood I’m going to get. And still I pray for love instead of common sense.”

Drake is clearing the air once and for all about a rumor that has followed him for years. After a podcast revisited the old claim that T.I.’s late friend, Cap, allegedly urinated on the rapper during an incident at a movie theater, Drake decided to jump into the comment section and put the whole thing to rest. The story first gained traction after T.I. referenced it in a track, and Meek Mill echoed the claim during their feud. But according to Drake, the entire situation was fabricated. View this post on Instagram In the podcast clip posted online, the hosts brought up the rumor as if it were fact, pointing back to the moment it first surfaced in hip hop conversations. That’s when Drake appeared in the comments and firmly denied it ever happened, saying the tale was nothing but an exaggerated piece of rap folklore. While the moment has been mentioned in records and debated across social media for years, Drake’s response leaves no question about where he stands. Fans quickly filled the comment section reacting to his clarification, with many expressing surprise that he chose to address it publicly after so long. Others noted that his decision to respond directly shows how far these narratives can spiral once they become embedded in hip hop culture. Despite the rumor being repeated in songs by both Tip and Meek Mill, Drake made it clear he wanted to shut it down at the source. The conversation sparked renewed interest in the origin of the claim, but Drake’s correction underscores that not every lyric or industry story should be taken at face value. As he put it plainly, the story was “made up,” reinforcing that some long-standing rumors were built on nothing more than hearsay.

Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) appears to be taking steps toward reconciliation. According to reports, the rapper has reached out directly to several of his Jewish collaborators. He apologized for his past behavior. He has also begun removing his inflammatory track “Heil Hitler,” which was released earlier this year. This marks what seems to be a conscious effort to repair his image. A recent meeting with Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto seems to have sparked this latest shift. The encounter, which took place last week, showed a visibly reflective West expressing remorse for his past remarks. The moment was shared on Rabbi Pinto’s Instagram. It quickly spread across social media and reignited public discussion about West’s journey toward redemption. In the post, Rabbi Pinto’s message was one of compassion and faith. “Rabbi Pinto welcomed Ye with open arms, inspiring him with teachings of Torah while supporting his journey toward truth,” the caption read. The Rabbi also shared a thoughtful message: “A person is not defined by his mistakes, but rather by how he chooses to amend them. True strength is found in the ability to return, learn, and foster bonds of love and peace.” Ye is reportedly reaching out to former collaborators, particularly those who are Jewish, to offer personal apologies. He has also been issuing takedowns for a song he released earlier this year. pic.twitter.com/LjElIxoACz — Kurrco (@Kurrco) November 13, 2025 Redemption starts, questions linger Their meeting closed on a hopeful note. It reflected a desire for understanding across cultures and faiths. Rabbi Pinto emphasized that truth and peace are the foundation of any lasting change—a sentiment that resonated with many of West’s followers online. Still, questions remain about whether this transformation will endure. West has previously pledged to move past antisemitism, only for those claims to fade with time. In May, he stated he was “done with antisemitism” after a FaceTime conversation with his children. Months earlier, he credited a film starring Jonah Hill for restoring his admiration for Jewish people. For now, West’s intentions appear sincere, but the test lies in consistency. As he steps into this new chapter, the world will be watching. They want to see whether his actions align with his words—and whether his redemption story holds beyond the headlines.
