Coi Leray just gave fans a deeply personal look into her journey to motherhood through a new YouTube vlog, marking a new chapter in both her life and career. In the video, the rapper opens up about welcoming her first child, a daughter named Miyoco, who she shares with Trippie Redd. While she doesn’t dive into the details of that relationship, Coi makes it clear that her focus is on healing and staying grounded. “I’m big on positivity and I think that’s what I just want to focus on moving forward,” she says in the opening moments. The vlog follows Coi through her return to New Jersey, where she’s been settling in with family and recently signed a new record deal with Epic Records. She talks candidly about moments of isolation, the pressure of fame, and how becoming a mom has given her a new perspective. “Being the best mom” has become her main goal, as she puts her energy into building a life centered around purpose and gratitude. The video also captures the day Miyoco was born, June 14th. After laboring for hours and receiving an epidural, doctors noticed signs of distress and recommended a C-section. Though the delivery wasn’t easy, the result was worth it. “She’s so beautiful. Like, I’m obsessed with her. I love her so much. She’s so sweet, y’all,” Coi said after meeting her baby girl for the first time. Her mother was the first to hold Miyoco, as Coi recovered from surgery, and the moment she got to see her daughter remains unforgettable. She now describes Miyoco as her biggest inspiration and the reason she’s ready to return to music with more drive than ever. Though she’s chosen to keep her daughter mostly off social media, Coi calls motherhood her greatest blessing yet.

Kehlani and Chrisean Rock’s brief connection seems to have fizzled out just as quickly as it began, following a wave of controversy, a viral incident, and unexpected accusations. The speculation started when fans noticed Kehlani had quietly unfollowed Chrisean on Instagram, triggering rumors that something had gone wrong between the two. The timing raised eyebrows, as it came shortly after a viral video showed Chrisean and her entourage getting into a tense encounter with a man outside a hotel. Someone in the group was heard threatening to call immigration authorities on him, which immediately drew criticism online. Given Kehlani’s long-standing advocacy for marginalized communities, many assumed the incident may have influenced her decision to walk away. Kehlani responds to Chrisean Rock’s claims that Blueface cracked her. pic.twitter.com/0PhFz8Y8rL — FAVULATE (@favulate) July 8, 2025 Kehlani eventually addressed the situation online, clarifying that their gym meetup happened after Chrisean invited her at church. She explained it was simply an act of kindness, but the next day, she made a personal decision to step back. Without offering specifics, she made it clear that the choice came from a place of self-protection. Chrisean then entered the chat with a surprising claim. In a video captured by Hollywood Unlocked, she alleged Kehlani had once been involved with Blueface, the father of her son. The comment took things in a new direction entirely. Kehlani wasted no time shutting it down. “Ew [laughing emojis] what the hell,” she posted to Instagram. “WE’RE ADULTS! WE ARE MOTHERS OMG pls I make musicccc… this is not my ballllll [laughing emojis] i am literally on settttt.” She followed up with more pointed words, stating she had no interest in participating in “nasty mess.” Kehlani ended her remarks by saying she made the decision to step away as “a mother and protector of my peace and safety,” making it clear she’s done with the drama.

N.O.R.E. claims that Pusha T yelled at Pharrell Williams for remaining neutral at the height of his feud with Drake.  During an appearance on Bootleg Kev’s podcast, N.O.R.E. described the tense moment that he said he witnessed. “When we had Pharrell on the show [ Drink Champs], it was the first time I ever heard Pusha T raise his voice,” N.O.R.E. said. “I said to Pharrell, ‘Pusha T or Drake,’ and he said ‘both.’ I don’t know if I’m supposed to say this, Pusha. I’m sorry man, but I’m in the zone right now. Pusha called me like, ‘How the f**k is our boy doing this? How’s he doing that? How’s he saying both of us? ‘Drake wouldn’t have picked both of us, Drake would have picked him!’ And I’m like ‘Pusha, this is the one time I’m shutting the f**k up. I’mma let you vent.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Bootleg Kev Podcast (@thebootlegkevpodcast) “I say that to say that’s how much of a human Pharrell is. He told me for years, N.O.R.E., don’t do no crime in front of me.’ Who the f**k thinks like that? He said, ‘I’m going to tell…’ He literally told me that from the beginning.” When Pharrell visited Drink Champs in 2020, he revealed his dismay at Pusha T and Drake’s infamous rap battle. The Pusha T-Drake beef has come to light again now that Kendrick Lamar is appearing on the forthcoming Clipse album Let Got Sort Em Out.  The highly anticipated album is produced solely by Pharrell and will be released on Friday, July 11.

Keke Palmer is sharing the details of how she achieved her sculpted physique. At the Essence Fest on Sunday, July 6,  Palmer spoke to PEOPLE about giving birth to her 2-year-old son Leo and how she got back in tiptop shape “You have to get back to yourself after the baby. It’s really, really hard. Anybody with kids knows sometimes it can take 3, 4, 5 years,” Palmer said.“It really wears your ass out.” One component of Palmer’s regimen is waking up in the morning and getting active before she begins her day. “I’m a Pilates girl down, I don’t care. It’s the Pilates. And I need people to know it doesn’t matter what that scale says. It matters about the muscles,” she said. “That’s what I love about Pilates. It don’t matter what your size is, your body is going to be snatched with Pilates.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by BIG BOSS (@keke) Also,  finding a workout class was a game changer for Palmer because she didn’t want to spend time figuring everything out at the gym on her own is difficult and too much to deal with. “So if you could find a dance class, Pilates class, a yoga class, a cycling class, whatever class that you like that can happen at the top of your day before you go to work, it will do wonders. The consistency of that will do wonders,” she explained. “And then I’ll say, make your own food. I know, I know it’s a lot. Nobody wants to do the meal prep sh*t, but making your own food and knowing what you put in it, it does wonders.”  “Making your own meals, keeping it consistent with some type of activity. It really does transform your body,” Palmer continued. “And then fun stuff. Sometimes we forget that everything don’t have to be a serious workout. What if I just go play tennis or pickleball with my girl? What if we just go swimming for a day? You know what I’m saying? Let’s walk around an amusement park with the kids.”  According to Palmer, having the right mentality and consistency has been the key with helping her stay on track with her nutrion even when she falls off the wagon “It is a mentality and it’s really just about knowing what our goals are,” she says. “I think for me, I really wanted to be strong and active in whatever way that meant for me. And it came from consistency and knowing that I had time for myself.” 

Keyshia Cole is once again the topic of social media chatter after a resurfaced livestream clip started making the rounds online. The video, originally shared by Instagram user @livebitez on July 7th, shows the singer sitting back in what appears to be a tattoo studio. Celebrity tattoo artist Ryan Henry is briefly seen leaning over her, red marker in hand, before glancing at his phone. Cole gives the camera a soft smile and says a few words, though the audio isn’t clear. While the clip itself doesn’t confirm exactly what’s going on, it didn’t take long for fans to connect the dots—and the commentary came quick. Many believe the video could be tied to the chest tattoo Cole got last year, which read “Ibrahim,” the real name of rapper Hunxho, whom she was linked to at the time. The name choice raised eyebrows back then, and now that speculation is back in full force. Social media users quickly jumped in with opinions, many of them critical. Some questioned her decision altogether, suggesting she should have never gotten the tattoo in the first place. Others were more blunt, calling the move immature for her age. A few comments leaned into humor and disbelief, with people joking that she better not get another man’s name inked and poking fun at the fact that it was tied to someone named Ibrahim Muhammad Dodo. Despite the criticism, a few fans showed a bit more empathy. “She’s a Libra y’all they love hard,” one wrote, offering astrology as an explanation for her tattoo choices. Another added, “We too old for this, but I’m happy she did what was needed.” Whether Keyshia’s getting new ink, covering up the past, or simply making peace with it, the internet is clearly tuned in.

Muni Long is setting the record straight on her relationship status with Raysean Hairston, her partner of 9 years. Appearing with REVOLT at the 2025 ESSENCE Fest, Long explained how the “public perception” took away from the message she attempted to share. “One thing I find interesting in this day and age is how… I never said that. The truth doesn’t matter anymore,” Long said. “Public perception is everything, and once a narrative is decided upon, it’s really like [shrugs].” “What I said was, ‘I can’t wake up next to somebody every day that’s always in a bad mood, and I’m a have to move on.’ I’m paraphrasing, but the gist of it is, I only want to be around empowering, uplifting, positive, motivating, in-alignment people, places, and things,” she continued. “And if you’re not that, I feel like either I’m gonna walk away or you’re gonna fizzle out of the equation, because I just decided no more.” As the interview went on, Long expressed the importance of keeping her peach amid her Lupus diagnosis. You’re not gonna keep stressing me out. Not only because I have a physical reason, but it also affects me. It affects my health,” she said. She doubled down once again and concluded by saying she’s more focused on the positivity in her life. “But just mentally, I want to have fun. I want to enjoy these blessings. I have a beautiful baby boy. I never said that, guys. I don’t know where y’all got that from.” Last summer, many speculated Long ended her relationship with Hairston in an interview with The Cruz Show. “I always pull from real experiences because I’m writing from my unique perspective,” Long said. “ I can only talk about what I know. But this is the first time I’m putting my real life in it. It’s no secret…I’ve been married for nine years…it just didn’t work out, you know?”

A$AP Rocky may have a new album on the way, but right now, his main focus appears to be family. As he and Rihanna prepare to welcome their third child, a new report from PEOPLE highlights just how locked in the Harlem rapper is when it comes to parenting and supporting his partner. A source allegedly close to the couple shared that the bond between Rocky and Rihanna has only strengthened since becoming parents. The two already share sons RZA Athelston and Riot Rose, and reportedly always planned to have their children close in age so they could grow up with a strong sibling connection. “Rihanna and Rocky couldn’t be more thrilled to be growing their family again with baby number three,” the source said. “They’ve really embraced this chapter and their bond has only deepened since becoming parents.” Rocky is described as deeply involved and attentive—taking on everything from bedtime routines to household duties so Rihanna can get the rest she needs. “He’s so hands on with RZA and Riot,” the insider added. “He’ll run her baths, massage her feet, and take care of things around the house so she doesn’t have to lift a finger.” Beyond the physical support, he’s also been a consistent source of emotional comfort. “He always makes her laugh, he keeps things light and full of love.” While the two artists are clearly thriving in their personal lives, fans online are still keeping one eye on Rocky’s long-delayed album DON’T BE DUMB. With no official release date in sight—and Rihanna’s return to music still up in the air—some listeners are starting to grow restless. But from the looks of it, A$AP Rocky is putting fatherhood first, even if that means making fans wait a little longer.

While the verdict from Diddy’s trial left some scratching their heads, others were dousing themselves with baby oil outside the courthouse. One of those people was popular YouTuber Armon Wiggins, who recently issued an apology after the moment went viral. According to Armon Wiggins, he wasn’t “celebrating” the controversial mogul’s verdict, but sharing a moment with his fans. That said, he understands why it could’ve been misconstrued. “I’m learning, I’m listening, and I’m moving forward with even more care and clarity,” Wiggins begins in the post. “Yesterday, a clip of me outside the courthouse went viral and was taken out of context. What started as a lighthearted moment, part of a long-running joke with my audience, was misinterpreted as support for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. That was never my intention.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Armon Wiggins (@thearmonwigginsshow) “I fully understand how the timing and optics may have felt hurtful,” Armon Wiggins said Wiggins, originally from Los Angeles, had temporarily relocated to New York to cover the trial. His detailed coverage of the case garnered millions of views on YouTube, and he even made guest appearances on TMZ and Nancy Grace to discuss it further. He continued: “For the past 60 days, I’ve worked hard to cover this case with honesty and objectivity. That moment was about sharing a bit of levity with the community that’s been on this journey with me, nothing more.” Wiggins added, “Still, I fully understand how the timing and optics may have felt hurtful, especially to survivors of abuse. I sincerely apologize to anyone who was impacted or disappointed. This has been a reminder to move with greater care, and I remain committed to doing this work with integrity and heart.” Earlier this week, Sean “Diddy” Combs was acquitted of the most serious charges in his federal sex crimes trial, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, but convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The jury returned its mixed verdict after three days of deliberations, closing one of the most closely watched trials in recent memory.

The country music community has heavily criticised Beyoncé since the release of Cowboy Carter in March 2024. Most recently, a country music star called out the singer during a recent set, claiming that her country-inspired album was, in fact, “not country” by his standards. “There’s only three people in front of me on the Apple Music country charts, and one of them is Beyoncé,” Adcock said in a whiskey-filled speech. “You can tell her we’re coming for her f*cking a**.” The crowd, seemingly in agreement, cheered in approval as Adcock droned on. Adcock added, “That sh*t ain’t country music, it ain’t ever been country music and it ain’t gonna be country music.” Country artist Gavin Adcock slams Beyoncé after his album currently ranks below ‘COWBOY CARTER’ on the Apple Music Country chart: “That s*** ain’t country music and it ain’t ever been country music, and it ain’t gonna be country music.” pic.twitter.com/rKwaqymt5t — Pop Crave (@PopCrave) June 30, 2025 “It doesn’t sound country, it doesn’t feel country,” Adcock says in an Instagram post following his rant Not long after Adcock’s rant, he received significant backlash from Beyoncé fans, who are often referred to as “the hive.” Adcock would later walk back some of his comments in an Instagram video post to his official account. “When I was a little kid, my mama was blasting some Beyoncé in the car. I’ve heard a ton of Beyoncé songs, and I actually remember her Super Bowl halftime show being pretty kick-ass back in the day, but I really don’t believe that her album should be labeled as country music,” Adcock said. “It doesn’t sound country, it doesn’t feel country, and I just don’t think that people who have dedicated their whole lives to this genre and this lifestyle should have to compete or watch that album just stay at the top just because she’s Beyoncé.” While some of country music’s old guard haven’t been the biggest supporters of Cowboy Carter, others, like Dolly Parton, felt “honored” by Beyoncé’s venture into country music. The legendary country performer tells the outlet that she’s a “huge fan” of the singer and refers to Beyoncé as a “magnificent artist.” Beyoncé’s version of “Jolene” is featured on her Cowboy Carter album. Parton revealed that she “loved” the album and called it “really, really good.”

Nearly eight years ago, Russell Wilson and Ciara tied the knot on July 6, 2016. In honor of their wedding anniversary, Wilson jumped online to profess his love for the “Goodies” singer. The NFL quarterback shared a compilation of touching moments between him, Ciara, and their children. “From the moment I met you, I knew God was showing me the way,” Wilson wrote. “Every day since has been a reflection of His grace—full of love, laughter, purpose, and the kind of partnership I used to pray for.” Wilson added, “Happy Anniversary, my queen @ciara, You light up my life in ways words can’t explain. Here’s to the journey we’ve walked…and the one we’re still writing together. I love you, endlessly. [heart emoji]” From the moment I met you, I knew God was showing me the way. Every day since has been a reflection of His grace—full of love, laughter, purpose, and the kind of partnership I used to pray for. Happy Anniversary, my queen @ciara. You light up my life in ways words can’t explain.… pic.twitter.com/1fgdYESx5j — Russell Wilson (@DangeRussWilson) July 6, 2025 Earlier this year, Ciara stopped by Summer Walker’s “Over It” Radio and shared a few rules that have allowed her marriage to thrive with Russell Wilson. “I would say communication rules a nation. What I will give my husband a lot of credit for is that he can communicate really well. And I think maybe it’s the quarterback in him because he’s big on leadership, big on teamwork, big on being together,” Ciara said. While she admitted that she can be stubborn and “spicy and feisty sometimes, “communication is a top priority. Along with communication, Ciara stated that dating in her marriage is essential. “I really feel grateful for our ability to communicate with each other. Because I feel like there’s nothing I can’t go to him about,” she continued. “And even if we have to find our way through it in the conversation, I feel very confident we’re going to make it on the other side.” “We have our precious babies, and that’s a lot. And me, doing everything that I’m trying to do every day. Grinding and the hustle,” Ciara said. “Then he’s also doing his thing and grinding. I think sometimes you can get monotonous if you don’t look up and pay attention. And so we are very committed to date night.”
