NBA YoungBoy has been busy since he was granted a presidential pardon by Donald Trump in May. The 25-year-old rapper is expecting his 13th and 14th children, according to reports.

YoungBoy is expecting his second child with Floyd Mayweather’s daughter, Yaya Mayweather, and his 3rd child by his wife, Jazlyn Mychelle.

In a verse from his song “If You Need Me,” the rapper said his 23-year-old wife was “on our 3rd kid.”

According to the blogs, Iyanna “Yaya” Mayweather, 25, is also pregnant but she has not confirmed the rumor. She hasn’t denied the rumor either.

YoungBoy welcomed his first son, Kayden, when he was still a teenager in high school. He welcomed his 12th child, Kiori, with his 10th baby mama, Hailey, in 2024.

Hailey took to social media to dispute reports that she leaked the information about her baby for sympathy or attention.

“Loud & wrong but carry on,” she wrote. “def not looking for sympathy that post was made last year when I was going through [postpartum depression] & I wasn’t alone I felt alone b/c of how sick I was during my pregnancy : throwing up everyday was just hard/draining tf.”

YoungBoy also has 2 children by his current wife, Jazlyn Mychelle. Friends say she tolerates him keeping a harem of women because he takes good care of her and their minor children.

Former NBA star Marcus Morris was arrested for allegedly stealing $265,000 from Las Vegas casinos. According to court documents, obtained by TMZ, Morris, 35, allegedly wrote bad checks for $115,000 to the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino to cover his gambling debts in May 2024.

In June 2024, Morris wrote more bad checks at the Wynn Las Vegas Hotel and Casino for $150,000. Prosecutors say Morris knew he didn’t have the money in the bank to cover the checks and he never paid the money back.

He was taken into custody at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida on Sunday, July 27, and appeared at a bond hearing on Tuesday.

A judge denied bond for Morris during a hearing on Tuesday. His attorneys argued for his release, stating he’s currently in the process of paying off his debts in Nevada – and he can’t repay the money if he’s locked up.

But the judge said he would only be released to Nevada authorities or if his arrest warrants were withdrawn.

Morris was back at home by Wednesday. He took to social media to plead his case. Morris said he was behind bars for 51 hours and given no food or water during his detainment.

He complained that he was made to “look like a criminal” over his debts, but he promised to repay the money.

“So did I go past the time I needed to repay, yea probably did. Did I know they would locked (sic) me up helllllll No,” he wrote.

“Say what you want but FRAUD will never be something I’m apart of or wasting my time with,” Morris added.

Former NBA player Gilbert Arenas tap danced on the courthouse steps after he was released on bond on Wednesday. Federal prosecutors indicted Arenas for running an illegal gambling ring in California.

Arenas pleaded not guilty to the charges during his arraignment on Wednesday afternoon and he was released on $50,000 bond.

Video footage shows Arenas dancing on the steps of the federal courthouse while wearing shorts, a black T-shirt and sandals – the clothes he was arrested in on Wednesday morning.

A woman recording the video yelled “Free!” before telling Arenas “You’d better not.”

“Can’t hold me, baby. They can’t hold me,” Arenas told the woman, who is likely his wife, social media influencer Melli Monaco.

According to the federal indictment, Arenas and 4 others hosted an illegal gambling ring from September 2021 through July 2022.

Arenas rented out his Encino mansion for the purpose of hosting high-stakes illegal poker games with four others, including Yevgeni Gershman, described by the indictment as an Israeli crime figure.

Gershman, 49, hired bottle service girls to serve drinks and give the high-value gamblers massages. The women were required to give back a portion of their tips to Arenas and Gershman.

Chefs, valets and armed security guards were also hired to staff the poker games, according to the federal indictment.

Arenas and his accomplices face up to 5 years in federal prison on each count.

A trial date is set for late September.

The federal government has a 90% conviction rate. They usually don’t indict unless they have enough evidence to convict.

Brittney Griner‘s frustration with WNBA officials reached a boiling point on Wednesday night. The 6’9″ Atlanta Dream star was ejected from the Dream vs Dallas Wings game after she bumped an official.

The incident occurred when Dallas’ Haley Jones fouled Brittney in the paint. WNBA referee Anjelica Suffren called a foul on Brittney. An enraged Brittney approached Anjelica to argue about the call. The ref assessed a technical foul which made Brittney even angrier.

As the confrontation escalated, Atlanta Dream coaches tried to intervene, but Brittney bumped the referee – resulting in a second technical foul and an automatic ejection.

The six-time WNBA All-Star will likely be suspended for making contact with a referee, which is a huge no-no in the WNBA and the NBA.

At the time of Brittney’s ejection, the Dream led by just one point. The Wings stormed back with an 11–2 run in the second half. Atlanta’s Naz Hillmon hit a clutch 3-pointer with less than three seconds left to win the game.

Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers finished with 21 points and 7 assists. The Wings dropped to 8-20 on the season. If they continue at this pace, they will have the league’s worst record and the first pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft.

If the Wings select UConn’s Azzi Fudd (Paige’s girlfriend) with the 1st pick, the WNBA will have 4 teams with lesbian couples on the roster.

Rapper Kevin Gates’ Wife Dreka Gates Files for Divorce

Rapper Kevin Gates‘ wife Dreka Haynes, formerly Dreka Gates, has filed for divorce after nearly 10 years of marriage.

Kevin and Dreka were high school sweethearts and she tolerated his constant cheating for the sake of their children who need a father.

TMZ reports that Dreka filed for divorce on Wednesday, July 30. In the documents, obtained by TMZ, Dreka lists the date of separation as July 10, 2025, and she cited the usual “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.

Kevin, 39, and Dreka, 38, have two minor children: 12-year-old Islah and 11-year-old Khaza. Dreka is seeking joint legal and physical custody of the kids.

Dreka is also seeking spousal support, and she checked the box to terminate the court’s ability to award spousal support to Kevin.

Kevin and Dreka would have celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary in October 2025.

Kevin and Dreka are practicing Muslims. She tolerated his cheating and breeding multiple children out of wedlock. She even put up with him “marrying” reality star Brittany Renner on April 6.

The “Basketball Wives” star confirmed they divorced on May 28.

Brittany converted to Islam before “marrying” Kevin in a Muslim ceremony. Their marriage was not legal in the eyes of the law since Kevin was already married to Dreka.

“There is a 90 day waiting period in Islam, where you have 90 days to see if you’re pregnant because then he would be responsible,” Brittany explained in an interview with radio station REAL 92.3 in Los Angeles.

Islam allows men to take as many wives as they can afford.

A Louisiana woman was arrested on Monday and charged with Medicaid fraud. Candace Taylor, 35, from Slidell, is accused of raking in millions of dollars in Medicaid funds while claiming she earned $2,000 a month.

Federal agents began investigating Taylor after a complaint from the Louisiana Department of Health when she applied for Medicaid benefits using several aliases.

The Louisiana Bureau of Investigation said Taylor used fake home health companies to bill Medicaid for $9.5 million over four years. Meanwhile, she filed for Medicaid benefits under her legal name claiming $2,000 a month in income.

Taylor purchased a Lamborghini, other luxury vehicles, and plastic surgery while on government assistance over a four year period.

Two months after purchasing the Lamborghini, she reapplied for Medicaid benefits.

The first time Taylor applied for Medicaid, she was denied. The second time she applied she used inconsistent information on the application.

Investigators checked Taylor’s bank accounts and her social media pages. They saw photos that showed Taylor posing with a Lamborghini she said she paid cash for.

Taylor’s fraudulent activities included paying over $45,000 in car payments to Audi Finance, a $100,000 bank wire for property purchase, cosmetic surgery, high-end jewelry, and purchasing a 2022 Lamborghini Urus.

Taylor attempted to renew her Medicaid benefits in 2024 while concealing her business ownership.

Taylor was arrested on July 28, 2025, and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on a charge of government benefits fraud.

Investigators cited social media posts showcasing her luxury lifestyle as part of the evidence against her.

One post shows Taylor posing in front of her new Lamborghini which she purchased as a birthday gift for herself. She captioned the post: “Turned my birthday into a lifestyle. The difference between me and you: the price of my toys. I took my Lamborghini for a walk, but it kept attracting paparazzi.”

Federal prosecutors seized Taylor’s bank accounts, cars, jewelry, and other luxury items.

Candace Owens is not backing down on her claim that France’s first lady Brigitte Macron was born a man. Owens doubled down on her conspiracy theory that the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron is a man.

The Macron’s filed a lawsuit against Owens accusing her of defamation and pursuing false claims for fame and profit.

The far-right wing influencer now insists that French authorities will fake Brigitte’s death rather than allow her to reach the discovery phase of the lawsuit.

On her Monday podcast, Owens said the death of the first lady will shut down all discussion “about her being a man anymore.”

“I think they’ll fake kill Brigitte first. They’ll be like, ‘Oh, Brigitte passed away from stress because of what Candace did. Oh, nobody can talk about her being a man anymore because Brigitte’s gone.'”

Owens insisted Brigitte’s “fake” death was “way more likely than them going through discovery.”

“I don’t know, but that’s my, my instinct anyways,” she said.

Owens suggested that the lawsuit might ruin her financially but she’s not ready to ask her followers to donate to her legal defense fund.

“You know, I always want to be, if I ever come to and I say, I’m putting up a GoFundMe and I need the money, I want to make sure I really need the money, you know? And right now, we’re obviously looking and talking with lawyers. We do not really need the money at this moment. It’s very early on,” she said.

According to the lawsuit, Owens has engaged in a “relentless and unjustified smear campaign” that has “caused tremendous damage to the Macrons.” The complaint added that her “tranvestigation” podcast series was designed to feed a “frenzied fan base” in “pursuit of fame” and profit.”

Shannon Sharpe will not return to ESPN after he settled a lawsuit for a reported $23 million. ESPN has parted ways with the NFL Hall of Famer, according to The Athletic.com.

The news comes after ESPN announced Shannon signed a $100 million contract extension with the sports network.

Shannon played 14 years in the NFL before joining ESPN and co-hosting “First Take.” He also hosted an NFL-affiliated podcast, “Club Shay Shay” and he co-hosted Fox Sports 1’s “Undisputed” talk show with Skip Bayless.

But Shannon fell from grace after a woman accused him of abuse and xesual battery in a lawsuit filed in Nevada in April. The woman, later identified as Gabby Zuniga, wanted $50 million for her pain and suffering.

She was represented by prominent Houston attorney Tony Buzbee. The settlement was announced earlier this month. As part of the settlement, Shannon admitted he xesually assaulted Zuniga multiple times.

In April, Shannon announced he was stepping away from ESPN to spend more time with his family.

“I will be devoting this time to my family, and responding and dealing with these false and disruptive allegations set against me. I plan to return to ESPN at the start of the NFL preseason,” he wrote on X (Twitter) on April 24.

However, his colleague Stephen A. Smith reported that ESPN asked Shannon to turn in his parking pass and employee ID permanently. “I’m going to miss him,” Stephen said at the time.

Deion Sanders’ two youngest sons, Shilo (left) and Shedeur (right) found out about his bladder cancer diagnosis during his July 28 press conference at the University of Colorado.

Deion, 57, held a press conference with his medical team to announce he had his bladder removed and he was cancer-free.

His two youngest sons, Shedeur and Shilo, found out about their father’s diagnosis at the press conference along with the rest of the world.

Deion kept his diagnosis a secret from his sons as they entered the NFL Draft back in April.

Deion Sanders Jr.

His eldest son Deion Sanders Jr. (left) was with him when he learned his diagnosis. Deion Jr. filmed actress Karrueche Tran’s emotional scene in Deion’s hospital room as he prepared to go to surgery.

“Much love to my son Junior, who has not left my side since we found out what was taking place,” Deion said to Deion Jr. who was at the press conference. “Not one day. He’s been with me here, he’s been with me in Texas, he’s been with me everywhere, everyday.”

Deion added, “I love you for life, son, and I thank you for everything you bring to the table.”

Deion said his three daughters also knew about his cancer diagnosis before his announcement.

“My sons, to this day, don’t know what transpired,” Deion said on Monday. “I just told them it was something with my foot. I wanted them to focus on making the team and now focused on Dad. They really don’t know.”

Quarterback Sheduer, 23, was drafted in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns. After going undrafted, Shilo, 25, signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a free agent. He is still trying to make the team.

Deion’s bladder cancer was diagnosed on April 14, and he had surgery to remove his bladder in May.

Deion faces challenges if he returns to coach Colorado Buffaloes’ games. If he has an internal new bladder, it will have to be emptied often.

If he’s wearing an external urostomy bag, it also has to be emptied often. He also runs the risk of infections.
