The iconic Rush Hour franchise is officially ready for its next installment and has been greenlit for production, PEOPLE reports. However, it wouldn’t have been possible without President Donald Trump, who lobbied on the film and its director’s behalf. The surprise news came from entertainment journalist and former editorial director for The Hollywood Reporter, Matthew Belloni. The outlet had shared a recent X post made by Belloni on (Nov.25), which read, “I teased this last night in What I’m Hearing, but now confirmed: Paramount WILL release Rush Hour 4 after prodding from Trump on behalf of Brett Ratner. Distribution deal. Producer Tarak Ben Ammar is lining up financing. Get ready for the dumbest possible state-controlled media.” According to Belloni, Trump met with Paramount Skydance shareholder Larry Ellison. I teased this last night in What I’m Hearing but now confirmed: Paramount WILL release Rush Hour 4 after prodding from Trump on behalf of Brett Ratner. Distribution deal. Producer Tarak Ben Ammar is lining up financing. Get ready for the dumbest possible state-controlled media. — Matthew Belloni (@MattBelloni) November 25, 2025 Release Date For ‘Rush Hour 4’ Has Not Been Confirmed The project would mark Ratner’s return to Hollywood following allegations of sexual misconduct made by multiple women, including actresses Olivia Munn (Magic Mike) and Natasha Henstridge (The Whole Nine Yards). That said, Ratner has unequivocally denied the allegations. There had been talks about Rush Hour 4 back in 2022; however, it seems the film got stuck in production limbo. Regarding the film’s cast, no announcements have been made, including whether Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker will reprise their roles as Detective Lee and Detective Carter. That said, both Chan and Tucker have confirmed they would be down to return to the franchise. In a May 2025 interview with ScreenRant, Jackie Chan said, “Ask the director, ask the studio, ask the writer. Hurry up! Otherwise, Chris Tucker and me [will be] 100 years old. We’ll be old men doing Rush Hour.” So far, no release date has been shared.

Meek Mill opened up about wanting to spice up his dating life in a recent X post. The Philadelphia native states he aims to try something he’s “never done” before this winter: date two women at the same time. “Ima try sister wives because I never did for the winter….. f*ck it,” he wrote on Tuesday (Nov.25). That wasn’t the first time the rapper toyed around with the idea of having multiple partners. A few weeks earlier, the rapper posted another message hinting at the idea of dating multiple women, “Some days I want 2 girlfriends walking around my house? Am I wrong?” Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem that Meek has been two successful in his efforts. That said, there’s always next year. The rapper’s last relationship, with designer Milan Harris, ended back in 2020. Prior to their split, the two welcomed a son, Czar. Ima try sister wives because I never did for the winter….. fuck it — MeekMill (@MeekMill) November 26, 2025 Meek Mill Rips Into Modern “Bubblegum Rap” In other news, earlier this week, Meek Mill took to X to critique what he calls “bubblegum rap,” calling for substance and authenticity over fleeting trends. In his characteristic candor, he argued that music lacking depth is both forgettable and corrosive to hip-hop’s core. He contrasted his own storytelling-driven work with the lighter, trend-focused songs dominating the charts. “That bubble gum rap sht not gone work when that organic sht hit them streets!” he declared. He insisted that genuine artistry connects with audiences in ways marketing alone cannot replicate. The comments sparked a lively debate online. Some observers suggested Meek’s frustration reflects the industry’s focus on short-lived hits rather than enduring lyrical craft. Others echoed his sentiment, praising his dedication to meaningful content: “Real talk, Meek! Authenticity always wins. The streets crave substance.”

Princess Love has a few words for Ray J, following their heated argument caught on livestream. On Friday (Nov.28), the 41-year-old Love & Hip Hop alum took to her Instagram Stories to share several posts breaking down the definition of gaslighting. “No, you’re acting a little bit crazy. What happened was (completely new scenario that didn’t occur at all) – that’s the truth,” one of the posts read. The second post, which focuses on the idea of projection, reads, “You’re just trying to confuse everyone so you get to come out on top and control the narrative. We all know why you’re doing this, so just stop.” While Love didn’t mention the singer-actor by name, it was clear that she was trying to send a message to someone. Earlier this week, Ray J had been arrested, following a horrific moment caught on a Thanksgiving Day livestream he was hosting. The stream captured a series of escalating disputes that now sit at the center of an active criminal investigation. Prior to this situation, Ray J had previously asked Princess to get back together. During the stream, Ray J told viewers he was enduring “the worst Thanksgiving in the world,” alleging unnamed individuals were attempting to take his children and that he faced imminent danger. Instagram / @princesslove Ray J booked on Suspicion Of Making A Criminal Threat Moments later, he retrieved a handgun from a table, loaded it on camera, and declared he would “defend” his property if anyone approached his door. The situation intensified when off-screen shouting began. Ray J ordered someone to leave and accused them of trespassing. Princess Love then entered the frame holding their daughter, Melody, and alleged that Ray had pointed a firearm at them. A man and woman then entered the room. The man confronted Ray J, who responded, “I’ll shoot the f*** out of you,” before the camera dropped. Audio continued recording as Ray threatened to kill the man if he did not exit the home. A child is heard crying as police sirens approach. Los Angeles police officers arrived within minutes, secured the residence, and took Ray J into custody. He was booked on suspicion of making a criminal threat, and his bail was set at $50,000. He posted bond later that afternoon and left jail without addressing reporters. Princess Love issued a public statement hours later, posting a video on Instagram with the caption “Enough is enough.” She accused Ray J of endangering their children and alleged he has “terrorized” and “abused” women. Princes further claimed that Ray pointed a gun at her and her cousin’s husband as she attempted to remove the children from the home. Ray J, in a message that has since been deleted, disputed her claims and said he acted because Princess’s cousin’s husband entered his room while trying to take the children. He expressed “shock” at his arrest and maintained he acted to protect his space. His next court appearance is scheduled for December 19 as the case continues to unfold.

Ray J didn’t waste a single moment getting back online after his release from jail. Since Twitch removed him from the platform, he hopped onto Kick and immediately started unloading everything that went down behind bars, and the story he chose to share first was absolutely unhinged. According to Ray, one of the men locked up with him actually started pleasuring himself under the bunk. He said the moment was so bizarre that he almost reacted violently, especially because the guy was calling his name while doing it. The look on the man sitting behind Ray during the stream said everything: pure shock and confusion. Ray J said Twitch gave him a permanent ban after he and Princess Love turned the stream into a whole marital UFC card. Then he casually drops that some dude in jail was moaning “Ray J” while handling his business in the cell… and he almost squared up over it Baby, the way this… pic.twitter.com/ouCZ0ZREBJ — Chasethatclout (@chasethatclout) November 28, 2025 Ray tried to lighten the moment with a clear warning for his viewers: “Never go to jail, y’all.” As far as advice goes, that one’s pretty easy to follow. He also claimed Twitch banned him permanently simply for “defending his kids,” insisting he doesn’t work for “none of these n***as” and won’t be controlled by any platform. Kick, on the other hand, appears more than willing to let Ray be Ray, chaos and all. The wild livestream comes just hours after TMZ reported his arrest. Police took Ray into custody around 4 AM Thursday for criminal threat after he blew up on Princess Love during a livestream and grabbed what looked like a handgun. He was seen loading it while making threatening statements before officers detained him. Ray later paid his $50K bond and walked out. Princess didn’t stay silent, either. She responded online, airing out her own grievances with Ray. She alleged that during his last solo time with their children, he was “caught naked in bed with another woman.” She also shared a few pointed quotes about gaslighting on her IG story, clearly sending a message of her own as the drama continues to unfold.

Former NYPD Police Chief John Chell is offering one of the most detailed public explanations yet of how Pop Smoke became entangled in a wider gang investigation before his death. Chell revealed new context during the Nov. 27 episode of The John Rondi Show. Chell, who retired in October 2025 after decades with the department, revisited several hip-hop–related cases from his tenure before turning to the late Brooklyn star. “Now, a case I was personally involved in… So now, we’re going to go to 2019, 2020, Pop Smoke, who lived in Canarsie, Brooklyn,” Chell said as he opened the discussion. Former police chief John Chell says theNYPD was trying to build a case on Pop Smoke before he passed away and more.pic.twitter.com/zxAC9qvkU0 — No Jumper (@nojumper) November 28, 2025 He described Pop Smoke as a charismatic new force in New York drill. Born Bashar Barakah Jackson, he lived in Canarsie and was allegedly close to neighborhood crews. According to Chell, the rapper was “down with the G-Stone Crips… a big crew,” and his sudden rise drew attention as the NYPD investigated the group. “He’s the upcoming star, if you will, and we were into that gang, and he was part of it, but we didn’t have much on Pop,” said Chell. Chell said the department’s main leverage point came from the rapper’s high-profile 2019 case involving a Rolls-Royce Wraith. “What Pop did was he had stole a Rolls Royce from, I think it was L.A., and brought it back to Canarsie,” he recalled. “And we made arrest and we tried to leverage that.” Former NYPD Chief John Chell Reveals Police Were Building A Case On Pop Smoke Before He Passed He explained that those tactics are often used when officers believe a rising artist is still attached to street alliances. “You might be running with the gang guys, and they’re your friends,” Chell said. “But you got a lot more to lose. You got millions, you’re a rising star.” But before the NYPD could advance its larger investigation, news broke that Pop Smoke had been killed during a February 2020 home invasion in Los Angeles. “As we were cultivating this whole gang case, I believe he got murdered in a home invasion in L.A. That was Pop,” Chell said, pausing to acknowledge the gravity of the loss. He added that Pop Smoke had “a very distinct sound — didn’t he? It really was.” Chell said the aftermath continued to shape Canarsie for years. “So years after that, there was always a Pop Smoke Day in Canarsie,” he explained. “We had to put a lot of cops there because a lot of gang members showing up. It got dangerous.” His comments offer a glimpse into the overlapping pressures of fame, loyalty, and police scrutiny that surrounded Pop Smoke’s rise. It persisted long after he was gone.

The years-long rivalry between 50 Cent and Dame Dash reignited recently. This occurred after 50 Cent delivered a holiday-themed jab targeting Dash’s dental appearance. The feud, shaped by repeated public spats and unsuccessful attempts at reconciliation, escalated when 50 Cent took to Instagram. He called Dash a “clout-chaser.” Dash responded swiftly, drawing attention to 50 Cent’s pattern of criticizing fellow Black artists. This was especially in light of his upcoming Sean “Diddy” Combs docuseries, set to premiere December 2. In a pointed Instagram post, Dash accused 50 of “tearing down” another Black man for profit. He wrote, “Never trust a Black man that will make a documentary tearing down another Black man for a white man… that’s nasty work.” Dash’s comments sparked a broader conversation about how Black figures are portrayed in the entertainment industry. Adding another layer to the tension, Dash shared photos of 50 Cent photographing his former girlfriend, Daphne Joy, on the beach. This reference intertwines personal history with rumors about her connection to Combs. It further intensifies the dispute. View this post on Instagram 50 Cent Opens Door to Dash Amid Diddy Tensions In a surprising move, 50 Cent acknowledged some validity in Dash’s critique. He stated, “I agree with Dame [100] percent it’s better to work together.” He suggested exploring potential collaboration. However, this conciliatory gesture was tempered by his dismissal of Dash’s complaints. He cited past derogatory remarks from Cam’ron toward Dash. The feud stretches beyond personal insults, touching on unresolved criticism of both Dash and Diddy. It raises questions about why prominent figures, including Jay-Z, have largely remained silent amid public allegations. With 50 Cent’s docuseries approaching, fans and industry observers are watching closely. They are keen to see how Diddy’s legacy will be portrayed, highlighting the complex web of personality, influence, and controversy that continues to define hip-hop culture.

In a landmark moment for Detroit sports and music, Eminem and Jack White shared the stage for the first time during the Detroit Lions’ Thanksgiving Day halftime show against the Green Bay Packers. The performance united two of the city’s most celebrated musicians in a collaboration that sent the stadium into a frenzy. Eminem, a lifelong Lions supporter, partnered with his manager, Paul Rosenberg, to orchestrate the event. Fans were treated to Jack White’s powerful set, featuring a mix of his iconic solo work and hits from his time with The White Stripes. The crowd’s energy reflected a celebration of Detroit’s enduring musical influence. The show reached new heights when Eminem made a surprise entrance, marking the pair’s first-ever performance together. Billboard coverage noted a seamless transition from White’s emotive “That’s How I’m Feeling” into a mashup pairing Eminem’s “Till I Collapse” with White’s “Hello Operator.” Social media clips quickly circulated, capturing the audience’s rapturous reaction to the historic collaboration.

For many attendees, the performance offered more than entertainment—it provided a welcome break from the usual celebrity controversies surrounding Eminem, including ongoing copyright disputes. Rosenberg highlighted the significance of the collaboration, saying, “It’s an honor for us to team up with the Lions and be a part of the greatest tradition in Detroit sports. We look forward to putting together unforgettable shows featuring world-class artists for the fans at Ford Field and the tens of millions watching around the country.” Plans are already in motion for additional high-profile halftime events through 2027. Both artists recently celebrated inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame—Eminem in 2022 and White this year. During White’s ceremony, André 3000 delivered a heartfelt tribute, underscoring the close-knit connections within the music community.

Newly circulated footage of Sean “Diddy” Combs inside FCI Fort Dix has offered an unexpected window into how the music executive is spending the holidays while serving his sentence. Even as he adjusts to life in federal custody, Diddy appears focused on supporting the men around him, channeling his influence toward small acts of community inside the prison. TMZ reports that Diddy partnered with a prison group called the Bankroll Bosses to organize a Thanksgiving meal for roughly 1,000 incarcerated people. The effort, prepared over several days and delivered across multiple housing units, was intended to bring a sense of comfort to an otherwise stark setting. Through his representatives, Diddy described the initiative as a joint effort with the Bankroll Bosses, involving commissary purchases and two days of steady preparation. The meal featured turkey, familiar sides like mashed potatoes and corn, and a spread of desserts sent throughout the compound. “Thanksgiving, to me, is about making sure other people eat,” he said. “Everybody misses their family. People get depressed during the holidays. We just wanted to come together as a family and do our own thing.” Life Inside Fort Dix A former gang leader known as B.I. helped coordinate the distribution. “We cooked the food and sent it to all the buildings,” he explained, noting that the team aimed to feed roughly 200 people in each unit. Despite limited equipment, the group managed the work through improvisation and shared responsibility. Beyond the holiday preparations, Diddy has offered glimpses of how he views daily life behind bars. In a conversation with TMZ, he pushed back against common assumptions about incarceration. “There’s a lot of misinterpretations about prison,” he said. “There is a strong brotherhood. We all look out for each other. It’s nothing but a positive thing… It’s like a little bit of home in a dark place.” Diddy is expected to remain at Fort Dix until June 2028, though the timeline has shifted due to rule violations. He may still qualify for reduced time through rehabilitation or program participation. The Thanksgiving meal has drawn notice not just because of Diddy’s public profile, but because of what it reveals about how he is moving through confinement.

Ray J claims to have had sex with more than 10,000 women and celebrated by throwing a party. On the latest episode of the BagFuel podcast with Esso World, Hynaken, and DJ Clue, Ray J said he commemorated the “milestone.” “Here’s what’s crazy. I just did the big celebration. They did the whole confetti at Booby Trap,” Ray J said on the podcast. “Celebrating 10,000 bodies for Ray J.” He then clarified what he believes his actual number of sexual partners really is. View this post on Instagram “It’s probably like 11,900….. I don’t know if that’s for sure, but I know it reached 10 once I got all the way there.” Ray J also claimed that some of his female friends have had more sexual partners than him. “I know some of my homegirls got 45,000 bodies,” Ray J explained. Esso World asking, “How the f**hey got 45,000, Ray J?” Hynaken asked, “30 racks?! She’s supposed to be dead, my n***a.” They joked about how impossible it would be to reach that number of sexual partners. “By accident, she should have had AIDS 100 times, bro. Herpes, 10,000 times. What are we talking about?” he added. Ray J would not budge on his claims.  “Listen, it’s some with 30, 35, 30,” he said. In other Ray J-related news, his supergroup RSVP, composed of Sammie, Bobby V, and Pleasure P, released their latest single. Titled “Lay You Down”, the track comes almost three years after their first single “, Money Everywhere.” The track sets the tone for the supergroup’s highly anticipated debut album.

Social media erupted on November 25 after a courtside clip of Carmelo Anthony and La La Anthony sitting beside each other at their son Kiyan’s Syracuse game went viral. The former couple, who ended their marriage in 2021 after years of public highs and lows, appeared composed but noticeably distant as they watched Syracuse face Houston at the Players Era Tournament in Las Vegas. That brief moment was enough to send fans into a spiral of speculation about their dynamic, their past, and the quiet truths of co-parenting after heartbreak. Carmelo and La La are in the house @Cuse_MBB pic.twitter.com/Q3CpGOvN9E — Players Era (@Players_Era) November 24, 2025 Many viewers immediately interpreted the body language as tense. One user, @jasonwidenfelt, summed up that sentiment with, “oh she hates him.” Another fan, @Comptyn, reflected on the emotional shift that comes after a relationship ends, writing, “Damn… how do you guys go from life partners to buddies. I can’t.” Their reactions echoed the disbelief many felt seeing the pair share space after such a public split. The clip has generated over 10.4 million views on X (formerly Twitter) alone. The video also revived memories of Carmelo’s past infidelity, which played a major role in the divorce. @champangecharde voiced that frustration directly, asking, “How you cheat on that.” User @sandybabyonyii added, “They don’t like each other,” reinforcing the belief that unresolved wounds linger beneath their composed exterior. For others, the moment felt painfully relatable. @brandeebreon cracked, “me and my baby dad at our son’s game,” capturing the often-awkward balance co-parents learn to maintain for their children. Fans React To Carmelo Anthony & La La Anthony Sitting Together At Kiyan Anthony’s Syracuse v. Houston Game In Las Vegas Some responses went deeper, tapping into personal trauma. User @Queenlouissa connected the scene to her own story, writing, “When men return back to a woman he knew was his soulmate but gaslighted and manipulated another woman… That vulnerable young woman is watching this and she probably feels humiliated and not valued.” Her reaction showed how celebrity relationships often become emotional stand-ins for everyday experiences. Other fans tried to decode the moment itself. @Jaecrypto010 referenced an old viral dare involving La La calling Carmelo, saying the two might be better off acting “as if they did not know one another.” Meanwhile, @EastsideTrini speculated that La La’s expression might have followed something Melo said or something she saw on her phone, reminding fans how easily assumptions form from a split-second clip. A softer perspective emerged from users like @hockeyflame3908, who wrote, “It not about them two anymore it about those kids now,” applauding their ability to coexist for Kiyan. And @williederrick3 even floated the idea of reconciliation, saying La La “needs to take him back,” though noting that “some wounds are hard to heal.” Together, the reactions show how invested fans remain in Carmelo and La La’s story. Their brief courtside moment didn’t just spark gossip — it reopened conversations about breakups, forgiveness, accountability, and what it really takes to co-parent under the spotlight.
