Rapper Yung Miami wants her fans to know she’s eating well – even though her sponsor, Sean Combs, is behind bars in New York.

Yung Miami was among a plethora of stars at the 2025 BET Awards in Los Angeles, California on Monday, June 9.

Fans who tuned in to watch the awards said Yung Miami looked a little off brand.

Some suggested she missed Sean Combs’ money since he is locked up in Brooklyn while on trial for human trafficking and other RICO charges.

One X user wrote: “You can tell she missing that #Diddy money. Toes hanging off her shoes, wig giving beauty supply, dress giving 1999 prom…”

The Florida rapper clapped back: “Yall get on this app and type anything here’s my IG @yungmiami305 if you wanna see how I’m living!!!!!”

Yung Miami, real name Caresha Brownlee, was also criticized for defending Combs on social media. The 31-year-old rapper shaded his alleged victims, including his ex-girlfriends and personal assistants.

She reportedly dissed those who testified during the trial by ‘liking’ the following comment:

“YES QUEEN! Let the people know your busy enjoying your life, & not playing victim on the stand [heart eyes emoji] we love you [sic].”

Yung Miami is one of the few among Combs’ inner circle to remain loyal to him. Meanwhile, those who testified against him are already in the process of being blackballed by industry movers and shakers.

Houston influencer Jahneiss Groce is going viral for her generous decision to “share” her husband, Jonathan Groce, with single women.

In a YouTube video, Jahneiss explained why she’s willing to share Jonathan with other women who aren’t as fortunate as she is.

Jahneiss, 37, is an Instagram and TikTok influencer who is known for her creative content on social media since 2012.

Jahneiss and Jonathan, 44, met at work in 2009, and after a year of dating, Jahneiss learned she had cervical cancer. “We continued dating, though the future was so uncertain,” she said.

Cancer treatment was successful and she went into remission. They were married 6 years later and welcomed 3 beautiful daughters.

Together, Jahneiss and Jonathan have built an online community with their engaging content of beauty, travel, and lifestyle posts.

One day, Jahneiss counted her blessings and decided she had so much more to give than just recipes and beauty tips.

She decided to “share” her husband with women who deserve to be treated with dignity, respect and care.

There are parts of him that are reserved for me and only me.

Jahneiss said you can call on her husband and ask him for help putting up your TV, or moving your furniture, or cutting your lawn. He will be there to assist you.

“I do not mind sharing my husband. Yes baby, go,” Jahneiss says in the video. “Go hold that door for her. Help her with her groceries. Put up their TV. It’s fine.”

She continued: “There are parts of him that are reserved for me and only me. But I love sharing those parts of him that are so God-like and so pure. Who am I to stop him from being who God created him to be?”

Jahneiss explains it’s important that women don’t settle for less than a man who treats you with kindness.

“Don’t pick someone because they make you feel like you’re the exception,” she says. “Because eventually, if they don’t respect others, they won’t respect you either.”

Sean Combs Asks to Name Famous Rapper Who Participated in Freak-Offs with Male Escort

Lawyers for Sean Combs told a federal judge it is important for them to name a famous rapper who participated in freak-offs with a male escort.

On Thursday morning, the defense mentioned an incident in January 2024 involving Combs’ ex-girlfriend “Jane” in a hotel room in Vegas.

Jane told the court she flew on a private jet with a famous rapper and his girlfriend in January 2024.

She described the rapper as someone who Combs regularly recorded with – an “icon” in the music industry.

Jane said a male escort, Anton, engaged in intimate relations with someone in the hotel room while the famous couple watched. Combs’ attorneys said it is important that they be able to name the rapper.

However, prosecutor Maurene Comey said that naming the rapper would be a “pretext to harass and intimidate this witness” and that enough had been revealed publicly already.

The judge agreed and said he wouldn’t modify the order to allow the names from the January incident to be publicized. The judge said this was a “collateral issue” and not related to the sex trafficking charges.

When Jane returned to the witness stand after a lunch break, she recalled that she saw Anton, one of the male escorts, having sex with someone while the rapper and his girlfriend watched.

Combs’ lawyer said he and the unnamed rapper “were really close to one another” and the rapper is “at the top of the music industry.”

Jane said she was aware that Anton had an intimate relationship with the rapper and often traveled with him on private planes.

Jane said she flirted with the rapper and flashed her breasts at him. She told the court that the rapper said he had always had a crush on her.

Combs, 55, was arrested in September 2024 and charged with sex-trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution, racketeering conspiracy, arson, kidnapping, bribery, and obstruction of justice. He has pleaded not guilty.

Former teen rapper Silentó will spend the next 30 years in prison for the fatal shooting of his cousin, Frederick Rooks III.

Born Richard Lamar “Ricky” Hawk, the 27-year-old rapper was charged with voluntary manslaughter in the 2021 shooting death of his 34-year-old cousin.

Security footage from a nearby residence showed a white BMW SUV speeding away from the crime scene. Silentó confessed about 10 days later.

He pleaded guilty but mentally ill on Wednesday, according to Eurweb.com.

Silentó also pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, possessing a gun while committing a crime and concealing the death of another. He received credit for time served since February 2021.

Silentó was a 17-year-old high school junior when his 2015 hit “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)” zoomed up the charts. The music video was viewed nearly 2 billion times on YouTube.

Despite his success in the music industry, Silentó struggled with depression and grew up in a family where he witnessed mental illness and violence.

“I’ve been fighting demons my whole life, my whole life,” he said in 2019. “Depression doesn’t leave you when you become famous, it just adds more pressure,” he continued. “And while everybody’s looking at you, they’re also judging you. I don’t know if I can truly be happy, I don’t know if these demons will ever go away.”

His publicist, Chanel Hudson, said the rapper attempted to kill himself in 2020.

Rooks’ siblings said Silentó should have received a longer sentence in prison.

Former NBA star DeMarcus Cousins was suspended and his contract terminated after an altercation with a fan at courtside in Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico’s Professional Basketball League suspended DeMarcus for the rest of the season, meaning he can’t sign with another team in Puerto Rico this year.

DeMarcus, who played center for the Mets de Guaynabo team, had an altercation with a fan during a game on June 9. Cell phone video shows DeMarcus grab his crotch before shoving his hand in a man’s face.

Other men lunged toward DeMarcus and threw their beer at him. He was ejected from the game and hit with a $4,250 fine, as well as a suspension for the season. Later, the Mets announced that his contract was terminated.

“As an organization, we strongly condemn any form of violence or provocation, whether on or off the field,” the team said in a statement. “Safety, respect, and sportsmanship are non-negotiable values for this franchise.”

DeMarcus, 34, averaged 18.2 points and 9 rebounds per game in his second season with the Mets.

The 4-time NBA All-Star last played in the NBA for the Denver Nuggets in 2022. DeMarcus played 11 seasons in the NBA with seven teams.

One of Sean Combs’ ex-girlfriends continues to testify in his ongoing sex-trafficking trial in Manhattan. The woman, testifying as “Jane” on Wednesday, June 11, was asked if Combs and his other ex, Cassie Ventura, exchanged “love letters” in 2023.

Jane was asked about the love letters during cross-examination by Combs’ lawyer Teny Geragos. She asked Jane about “love letters” that Combs and Cassie wrote to each other after she filed a rape lawsuit against him in December 2023.

Geragos played a video of Jane and Combs professing their love for each other in October 2023.

“We were both tripping,” Combs says in the video. “I was in a dark hole, you came over here to save me.”

Jane responded: “You did some saving on me and I didn’t even know.”

On the witness stand, Jane said she was referring to his “kind words at the time.”

Teny Geragos noted that Jane spent the night at Combs’s place without any “entertainers,” meaning freak-off partners.

Geragos asked, “And that’s part of why you agreed [to the freak-offs]?”

Jane replied, “Yes, I thought those encounters brought him peace.”

Geragos asked, “No entertainers that night, right?”

Jane replied, “Right.”

Then Geragos asked Jane about love letters that Combs and Cassie wrote to each other.

Jane responded, “I’m not sure. Oh, I remember.”

Rap mogul 50 Cent dropped hints on social media that Jane is the mother of his 12-year-old son.

Combs, 55, was arrested in September 2024 and charged with sex-trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution, racketeering conspiracy, arson, kidnapping, bribery, and obstruction of justice.

Ananda Lewis, former MTV VJ and talk show host, has died after a 5-year battle with breast cancer. Ananda died peacefully at her Los Angeles home on Wednesday morning. She was 52.

Lakshmi Emory shared the news of her sister’s death Wednesday in a Facebook post. “She’s free, and in His heavenly arms,” Lakshmi wrote alongside a photo of her sister. “Lord, rest her soul [prayer emoji].”

Ananda announced her cancer diagnosis in a 2020 Instagram post. She said she found out she had breast cancer after refusing mammograms for years due to fear of radiation exposure.

In a discussion with CNN‘s Stephanie Elam and CNN anchor Sara Sidner — who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2024, Ananda said she refused her doctors’ recommendation for a double mastectomy.

“My plan at first was to get out excessive toxins in my body. I felt like my body is intelligent, I know that to be true. Our bodies are brilliantly made,” Ananda explained.

“I decided to keep my tumor and try to work it out of my body a different way,” she added. “Looking back on that, I go, ‘You know what? Maybe I should have.'”

In 2024, Ananda discovered her cancer had spread to her lymph nodes and she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.

“My lymph system really flared up,” Ananda said. “It was the first time I ever had a conversation with death because I felt like: This is how it is.”

She continued: “I was just like, ‘Fudge man, I really thought I had this.’ I was frustrated, I was a little angry at myself, and I said, ‘Man, listen. I know you’re coming for me at some point. But I don’t want it to be now. And if you could just wait, I promise when you do come, I’m gonna make it fun for you.'”

Ananda (pictured with MC Lyte) hosted BET’s “Teen Summit” in the early 1990s before she was hired as one of MTV’s first video jockeys. She was an immediate hit with MTV network’s young viewers.

She left MTV in 2001 to pursue her own talk show, “The Ananda Lewis Show,” which aired from 2001 to 2002.

Ananda also hosted “The Insider,” and “While You Were Out,” a TLC reality series.

She was abstinent for most of the late 1990s. In 2011, Ananda gave birth to son Langston with Harry Smith.

Judge Rejects Lil Durk’s Request for $4.5 Million Bond. ‘That’s Only a Fraction of Your Net Worth’

Judge Rejects Lil Durk’s Request for $4.5 Million Bond. ‘That’s Only a Fraction of Your Net Worth’

A federal judge in California denied Chicago rapper Lil Durk’s third request for bond. The bond denial means he will stay in jail until his trial in October.

U.S. District Judge Michael Fitzgerald wrote in his 5-page ruling that Durk’s offer of $4.5 million bond was not even a fraction of his net worth.

Judge Fitzgerald said Durk would have to offer his entire net worth – and put his wife, mother, and children in the poor house – in order to get bonded out of jail.

Fitzgerald said with the “entirety of his net worth” at stake, Durk would be less likely to flee the country because it would leave his wife, mother, and children “impoverished.”

Lil Durk is accused of hiring a team of hitmen in Chicago and paying their expenses to Los Angeles to commit an execution-style murder of aspiring rapper Quando Rondo in August 2022.

Federal prosecutors say the hitmen ambushed Rondo and his cousin, Saviay’a Robinson, in broad daylight at a gas station on August 19, 2022.

Police counted at least 18 rounds fired from multiple guns at the gas station. But the hitmen somehow missed Rondo and killed his cousin, Robinson, instead.

On October 23, 2024, feds arrested 5 men in Chicago and charged them with murder. The feds say Durk learned of the arrests and booked three separate flights to the Middle East the next day. Two of the flights were decoys to confuse the federal agents.

Judge Fitzgerald cited those flights in his decision not to grant bond.

The defense team said Durk was on his way to Dubai to pray at a mosque when federal agents arrested him near the airport in Broward County, Florida on Oct. 24, 2024.

Durk, 32, was transferred to a jail in California, where he is being held without bond.

Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre confirmed their relationship in social media posts and public appearances together. But that’s still not enough for some people.

Aaron, known for his role in Mufasa: The Lion King, shared intimate photos from his birthday party on Tuesday, June 10.

Teyana surprised the British actor with a party for his 31st birthday. He thanked her in his post on Instagram.

“Tey, Thank you! You put together a beautiful day. You are one of one. I appreciate you, deeply,” he wrote.

MEGA/WENN

While bloggers and fans gushed over Tey and Aaron’s apparent romance, others aren’t convinced that they are a real couple.

Some fans noted that there are only 5 photos of Teyana out of the 12 photos in the gallery. Some people find that to be suspicious.

Others are positive that Teyana is a card-carrying lesbian who is providing beard services to Aaron.

One X user wrote of Aaron and Teyana’s relationship: “It’s a pr move to launch him in the states. Black British actors and singers always date black women in order to be accepted to US audience. Black audience is vital.”

In January, rumors spread that Aaron was dating infamous Hollywood beard Lori Harvey. But some of you insisted he was in a committed relationship with a white woman.
