Entrepreneur and television personality Pinky Cole has raised new allegations in her ongoing Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, claiming a creditor unlawfully seized her Georgia home despite federal bankruptcy protections. Cole, founder of the vegan restaurant chain Slutty Vegan and a cast member on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, says Guardian Asset Management took control of her Loganville property after she filed for bankruptcy protection. Her attorneys argue the action may violate the automatic stay imposed under federal bankruptcy law. View this post on Instagram The dispute appears in recent court filings connected to Cole’s Chapter 11 proceedings. Under Chapter 11, debtors typically retain control of their assets while restructuring debt obligations under court supervision. According to reports from TMZ, Cole alleges Guardian Asset Management posted a notice on the Loganville residence and changed the locks. The property reportedly includes six bedrooms and four bathrooms and spans more than 2,800 square feet. Cole claims the lock change prevented her from entering the home. “I no longer have access to the property,” she said in court filings describing the situation. RHOA/Slutty Vegan’s Pinky Cole Restricted From Home After Filing For Bankruptcy Her legal team contends the creditor’s actions occurred after the bankruptcy filing triggered an automatic stay. That protection generally blocks creditors from repossessing property, enforcing liens, or taking collection steps without court approval. If the court determines the stay was violated, Guardian Asset Management could face sanctions or financial penalties. Bankruptcy courts often impose damages when creditors ignore automatic stay protections. Cole also alleges the seizure disrupted a planned rental agreement. She states a tenant was scheduled to move into the Loganville property on April 1. Because she lost access, that rental income vanished. Court documents indicate Cole faces millions of dollars in liabilities tied to the bankruptcy case. Filings also suggest much of the household income derives from her husband. Outside the courtroom, Cole has addressed the situation publicly through social media. In recent posts, she described the emotional strain tied to the legal dispute. The creditor has not yet filed a formal response. The bankruptcy court will determine whether the property seizure violated federal law and whether Cole can regain control of the home.
Actress Nia Long Seeks Court Protection From Female Stalker
Actress Nia Long has asked a Los Angeles court for a temporary restraining order against a woman she alleges stalked and harassed her for more than two years, according to court filings and media reports. Long filed the request earlier this week, identifying the respondent as Carrie McDonald. The actress alleges McDonald repeatedly attempted to contact her and appeared outside her home while claiming they were romantically involved. Long states in the filing that she does not know McDonald. View this post on Instagram Documents obtained by TMZ describe a pattern of unwanted communication that included gifts and physical visits. Long alleges McDonald sent flowers, greeting cards, and packages over several months. The deliveries were unsolicited and continued despite no relationship between the two. According to the complaint, the situation escalated when McDonald began appearing at Long’s residence. Long claims McDonald visited the property on multiple occasions. The most recent incident occurred Saturday, when the woman allegedly rang the doorbell and remained outside the home. Actress Nia Long Wants Restraining Order For Female Stalker Long states she contacted law enforcement after the encounter. Police responded and arrested the woman at the scene. The filing also references a prior incident in 2024. Long alleges McDonald appeared outside the residence late at night and demanded she open the door. Officers responded at the time and issued what Long described as a “strong warning” to the woman. Despite that warning, Long alleges the conduct continued. In her request for court protection, Long asked the judge to extend the restraining order to cover her two children and her mother. The actress argued the alleged behavior created safety concerns for her family. The court declined to issue a temporary restraining order immediately. Instead, the judge scheduled a hearing in April to determine whether a protective order should be granted. Until the hearing occurs, Long’s request for court protection remains pending. The case highlights ongoing legal challenges public figures face when alleged stalking escalates into safety threats.
Jaÿ-Z Unsure If Rap Battles Should Be Apart Of Hip-Hop Anymore
Music mogul Jaÿ-Z says he has grown uneasy about rap battles in modern hip-hop, citing the fallout from the high-profile feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. In a recent interview with GQ, the Roc Nation founder reflected on the role competitive rivalries play in today’s music culture. The billionaire artist acknowledged that lyrical battles have long fueled creativity in hip-hop. However, he said the digital age has intensified the hostility surrounding them. “We love the excitement and I love the sparring and the music you get,” Jaÿ-Z said. “But in this day and age, it’s so much negative that comes with it that you almost wish it didn’t happen.” View this post on Instagram The 2024 conflict between Drake and Lamar dominated music headlines for months. The feud produced multiple diss tracks and sharp lyrical accusations. Fans and critics closely analyzed every release, driving massive engagement across social media platforms. Jaÿ-Z suggested online fan culture has transformed rap battles into broader public disputes. Stan communities often amplify conflict between artists. In some cases, the rhetoric extends beyond musicians and targets families or personal relationships. Jaÿ-Z Doesn’t Think Rap Battles Belong In Hip-Hop Anymore “I don’t know if I love that,” Jaÿ-Z said. “Don’t know if it’s helpful to our growth. I don’t know that battling needs to be a part of the culture anymore.” The comment carries added weight given Jaÿ-Z’s own history with rap feuds. Early in his career, he engaged in one of hip-hop’s most famous lyrical rivalries with Nas. Their early-2000s exchange of diss tracks remains a defining chapter in rap history. Despite that legacy, Jaÿ-Z said he now questions whether battles still serve a positive role. He suggested the culture must adapt as technology accelerates the spread of music and commentary. The rapper also confirmed plans to return to the stage later this year with several major performances. His remarks arrive as hip-hop continues to debate the balance between competition and respect within the genre.

Cardi B has decided not to go through with the butt implant removal she had previously discussed. The Am I the Drama? rapper spoke on Today with Jenna & Sheinelle on March 24, promoting her new hair care brand, Grow-Good, and clarified her earlier comments about a planned procedure in Colombia. In February, Cardi had said she intended to travel after her Little Miss Drama tour to have a butt reduction. “After this tour, I don’t want to hear nobody for three months. I’m going to Colombia, nobody hit me up, nobody nothing. I’m taking this ass out,” Cardi said backstage at her Los Angeles concert. On Today, however, she revealed a change of heart. “I was saying that but I’m not gonna do it,” the 33-year-old Grammy winner admitted. “I was just gonna take a little bit of butt out. But I don’t have time for that. I feel really comfortable where I’m at right now with my body.” Cardi Opens Up on Motherhood and Rumors The mother of four acknowledged the physical changes that come with age and motherhood. “I don’t know if it’s the age or the fact that I got four kids,” she said, noting she still has “a whole bunch of cellulite.” “But I feel really good,” she added, emphasizing a newfound comfort with her body. Cardi also reflected on her waist, noting, “While my waist looks so perfect, I don’t think it is.” Yet she embraced her flaws, continuing, “But it’s okay, I’m loving my imperfections and everything and I just feel really comfortable. I feel really good.” Cardi also addressed persistent rumors surrounding her relationship with NFL star Stefon Diggs.

Alleged Killer in Takeoff Case Brings On Former J Prince Lawyers Ahead of Court
More than three years have passed since Takeoff was fatally shot outside a Houston bowling alley. This loss reverberated across the music world. Weeks after the tragedy, Patrick “DJ Pat” Clark was arrested. Prosecutors allege he “unlawfully, intentionally, and knowingly commit[ted] the felony offense of deadly conduct by knowingly discharging a firearm at and in the direction of” Takeoff. A detective described the evidence: “The defendant was captured on video shooting in the direction of the complainant with a gun in one hand, wine bottle in another hand. Video also shows the defendant leave the bottle at the scene.” Additionally, investigators connected Clark to the crime through fingerprints, phone records, and vehicle data. Clark is set to stand trial this November. According to No Jumper, he recently brought on a new legal team: Kent Schaffer, Anthony Osso, and Dan Cogdell. Schaffer has previously represented J. Prince, while Osso has reportedly been involved in Clark’s defense before. Clark has pleaded not guilty to the 2022 murder charges and remains free on a $1 million bond.

The film promises a tribute not only to the city’s culture but also to Takeoff’s enduring impact on music and the lives he touched.
Jay-Z Was ‘Heartbroken’ And ‘Angry’ Over SA Lawsuit, He Says
Back in 2025, Jay-Z and Diddy were named in a lawsuit, accusing them of raping a 13-year-old girl. Not long after it was reported, Jay dropped off a scathing response, vehemently denying the allegations. The lawsuit was eventually dismissed with prejudice. Now, in a recent sit-down interview with GQ, Jay-Z is finally sharing his thoughts on the incident. As the Roc Nation founder looks back on the situation, he reveals that the allegations initially left him “heartbroken.” “…I was really heartbroken by everything that occurred. We’re in a space now where it’s almost like consequence is not thought about enough. Because everything is so instant, you know what I’m saying?” Jay says. The billionaire entrepreneur also pointed out that the situation fueled an “uncontrollable anger” inside him. “You don’t put that on someone—that’s a thing that you better be super sure. It used to be like that. You had to be super sure before you put those kind of things on a person. Especially a person like me,” he continued. “Even when we were doing the worst things, we had those kind of rules. There was a line: no women, no kids. You hear those sayings, but those are the things that I took from the street. We lived and died by that. So it’s strict for me, like it meant a lot to me.” View this post on Instagram “I can’t take a settlement—it ain’t in my DNA,” Jay-Z Says Jay noted that his tight circle of family and friends provided a safe space for him amid the allegations. “I’ve built this circle that’s really safe for me of people that really love me, are not using me, and really care for my best interests. So I was able to have that in the most crucial time for me,” he says. “But again, there’s blessings and curses in all that. I also got to see how people felt about me, especially people that were close to me.” During another point in the conversation, the rapper revealed why he refused to pursue a settlement. According to Jay, he’d rather die than settle. “I can’t take a settlement—it ain’t in my DNA. First of all, first I had to tell my wife. Let’s back up. I know the weight that this is going to bring on our family. I can’t do it. I would die.” While Jay acknowledges it would have been easier to settle out of court, he reveals that his support system encouraged him to stand strong. “If I settled—make that thing go away. And for me, it would’ve been cheaper? Yes. Cheaper, quicker, move on with your life. I knew what was coming. I wasn’t naive. I called—again, after my family—my partners. They were like, “What do you need to help? Don’t even worry,” he said. “In a phone call. Not even a: “I got to go to the board with this.” It was like a testament because people know me. Like: “I know who you are, and that’s impossible. Not only are we standing by you, but what do you need?”
Usher Speaks Positively About Diddy Despite the Mogul’s Ongoing Legal Troubles
Public curiosity has continued to surround the relationship between Diddy and Usher, particularly as new developments have kept the music mogul in the headlines. In a recent conversation with Jabari Young for Forbes’ The Enterprise Zone, Usher addressed those questions with a tone that was reflective rather than reactive. He drew on his own experience. Further, he focused on what he sees as a broader legacy shaped over decades in music and business. “I think certain people are prosecuted and maybe not recognized for the greatness that they offer,” Usher said. “I don’t have anything negative to say about Sean Combs. My experience was not what the world has seen and how he’s been, you know, misrepresented.” His remarks placed distance between public perception and personal memory, suggesting that the two do not always align. Expanding on that perspective, Usher spoke at length about the impact he believes Combs has had across industries. “I’m not saying that every man is perfect,” he continued. “I’m not saying that all of us don’t have flaws, but I can’t with any sense of humanity not recognize the valuable contributions that this man made for us as Black entrepreneurs, for us as people who transition culture and ideas into something that’s tangible. So many people benefited from what he created. And I acknowledge that. That’s why I see him as legacy.” Usher Reflects on Lessons Amid Combs’ Ongoing Legal Challenges For Usher, the emphasis remains on lessons learned early in his career. “That’s who I see that man as. And that’s what I choose to remember,” he said. “I put respect on his name because I realized that, you know, what I learned as a businessman before I even understood what business was came as a result of seeing the incredible things that he was able to do, and the way he positioned himself as a businessman. There are trials and tribulations that come with the pressures of success and power. But what we choose to do with it is what I hope that you see with me and hopefully other people that I’m involved with, right?” Combs is currently serving a 50-month sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix on charges related to transportation for prostitution. This development continues to shape public discussion around his career and legacy.

When asked about a potential new project, he admitted uncertainty. “I don’t know yet. I don’t know. But I know that we have enough negativity currently,” he said. “Forget the landscape of music. I don’t know what I need to create currently that’s going to fulfill me and make me happy because that’s most important. I know I just got to be honest about what I feel and where I am. Maybe I’m overthinking it. Maybe I’m stopping myself from just creating. Whatever it is, it just needs to be a true representation of how I feel. Trying to create something that people like is where I think a lot of artists get jammed up. And people can feel that because it’s not authentic. I just got to make something timeless that I really love and that’s really honest and true to who I am.” Beyond discussing his personal creative process, Jay-Z spoke about nearly collaborating with Clipse on Let God Sort Em Out. Additionally, he discussed the responsibilities of being a “good billionaire,” and the ways he navigates influence, legacy, and cultural impact in music today.
Victor Wembanyama States Why He’s The MVP Of The NBA
Victory Wembanyama is taking on the NBA world by storm. The 2025–26 San Antonio Spurs season has been a historic “leap” year, transforming from a rebuilding squad into a legitimate Western Conference powerhouse. In only his third year in the league, Wembanyama has elevated his game to an MVP-caliber level this year, leading the Spurs to a 54-18 record. Averaging 24.3 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 3.0 blocks per game, the 22-year-old phenom has become one of the faces of the league. In last night’s game, Wemby put up a 26-point, 15-rebound, 5-block performance in a blowout win over the Miami Heat. Following the game, responding to The Athletic’s Jared Weiss’s question about whether he should be the MVP, Wembanyama didn’t hesitate to state his case for the crown. Victor Wembanyama makes a strong case for why he should be the MVP “My first one would be that defense is 50% of the game and that it is undervalued so far in the MVP race. I believe I’m the most impactful player defensively in the league. Second argument would be that we… pic.twitter.com/egEdL1KlBx — ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) March 24, 2026 “My first one would be that defense is 50 percent of the game. And that is undervalued, so far, in the MVP race,” Wembanyama said. “I believe I’m the most impactful player defensively in the league. The second argument would be that we almost swept OKC in the season, and we dominated them three times with their real team and four times with the, you know, more rotation players. My third argument would be that offense impact is not just points.” Wembanyama also predicted that defensive plays are going to have more of an impact during MVP races. “It’s going to happen (over) time,” Wembanyama said. “If there were more players like Giannis (Antetokounmpo) in the past years, maybe defense would have been more recognized. I don’t know.” When it comes to Fan Duel’s current odds, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander remains the heavy betting favorite to win his second consecutive MVP award, with odds as short as -1000 at several major sportsbooks. While the race appeared to be a tight three-man battle earlier in March, Luka Dončić (+1200) and Wembanyama (+2500) have seen their odds drift as SGA pulls away.
