The news broke on Monday that rapper Cardi B is pregnant with her fourth child. She already has three children by former Migos rapper Offset. This time, her baby’s father is New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs.

The 32-year-old rapper and the 31-year-old NFL star sparked dating rumors when they were seen together in Miami on Valentine’s Day.

Cardi B’s ex-husband, Offset, was furious that she had another man around his children. He reacted to their rumored relationship on social media.

Cardi gushed over her new man in a chat on Twitter Spaces on April 27. She confirmed what her fans had long suspected.

Then on Monday, May 5, Cardi B and Stefon attended the 2025 Met Gala together. They also partied together afterward.

But Stefon’s side chick, Skymarlenee, exposed him as a cheater. She took to Instagram and posted screenshots proving they are still talking.

Earlier this year, Stefon filed a lawsuit against Brianna Mack and Mia Jones, accusing them of trashing his property and refusing to leave. He also claimed Jones punched him in the chest and threatened him with a deadly weapon.

The ladies say Stefon is a good catch and they don’t mind fighting over him.

Stefon played college football for the Maryland Terrapins. He was chosen by the Minnesota Vikings in the 5th round of the NFL Draft in 2015.

He also played for the Buffalo Bills (2020 – 2023) and the Houston Texans (2024).

Question: Do you think Stefon is a “good catch” for Cardi B?

Cardi B is reportedly expecting her fourth child, this time with New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, 31.

Cardi, 32, hinted at her fourth pregnancy during the 2025 Met Gala in NYC on Monday. Fans say Cardi B rubbed her tummy while posing on the blue carpet.

Cardi B wore a green Burberry suit and a silk shirt with ruffles on the neckline and cuffs.

The “WAP” rapper already has three children with her ex, Offset. She welcomed their third child last summer.

Unfortunately, their children didn’t keep Offset from wandering into other women’s bedrooms. Cardi filed for divorce from Offset in July 2024. She announced her third pregnancy the next day.

“I’m so happy y’all know I’m [pregnant],” she tweeted. “Now I can stop wearing those damn school girl skirts lmaoooooo.”

We know Cardi B is pregnant because Stefon already has a young daughter named Nova. Sources say Stefon is very much a part of his daughter’s life.

Cardi is not happy when she’s competing with outside children and another baby mama for her man’s affections. She can’t compete with Stefon’s daughter. That’s why she fell pregnant again.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

The new Pope appeared on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican on Thursday afternoon. He became emotional as he waved to thousands of cheering people below.

The Vatican wrote in a post on X:

“I announce to you a great joy;
we have a Pope:
The Most Eminent and Most Reverend Lord,
Lord Robert Francis
Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church Prevost
who has taken the name Leo XIV.”

President Donald Trump wrote a congratulatory message to the first American Pope on his Truth Social app.

“Congratulations to Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, who was just named Pope. It is such an honor to realize that he is the first American Pope. What excitement, and what a Great Honor for our Country,” Trump wrote. “I look forward to meeting Pope Leo XIV. It will be a very meaningful moment.”

Chris Brown seems to be in fear for his life. The singer/songwriter is rumored to be an honorary member of the Fruit Town Piru faction of the Bloods street gang.

Sources say Chris isn’t a full-fledged bloods member yet. He would have to kill someone to earn full membership into the gang.

It was recently revealed that Chris Brown moved from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, Nevada.

Chris had to give his new address in a deposition as part of a $90 million lawsuit filed by his former housekeeper, Maria Avila.

Maria claims she was working at Chris’ home in Los Angeles on December 12, 2020, when his guard dog attacked her, causing significant injuries to her face and arm.

Chris denied any wrongdoing and he claimed Maria’s injuries were caused by her own careless actions.

According to In Touch magazine, Chris rushed to court to plead with a judge prevent his new address from leaking.

Wherever Chris goes he is surrounded by bodyguards due to an unknown threat.

On May 2, Chris’ legal team filed an emergency motion, obtained by In Touch, seeking a protective order prohibiting the release of the singer’s deposition, which contains his new address.

As In Touch first reported, Maria’s attorney demanded Chris show up in-person for a deposition in Los Angeles. But Chris’ attorneys opposed the deposition being held in Los Angeles.

However, the judge ordered Chris to appear in-person for a deposition in L.A., and Chris complied.

His lawyer explained, “The deposition went forward, during which Mr. Brown’s home address and mother’s name were revealed.”

The attorney explained that Chris fears his address will be leaked to the public and he fears for his family’s safety.

“Mr. Brown has historically had issues with intruders and trespassers on his property, a property at which not only he but also his minor children and other family members spend time,” his lawyer said. “On one occasion, after having returned from a tour, Mr. Brown came home to a stranger who had broken into and was living in his house.”

The lawyer continued: “These sorts of targeted break-ins not only constitute an ‘unwarranted annoyance’ but also threaten Mr. Brown’s and his family’s safety.”

He added: “There is also a risk of exposing him to public ridicule by allowing his deposition testimony to be disseminated to the public via a news outlet, social media, or other means.”

Chris is also being sued by a fan who claims he defamed her on social media. He has not responded to her lawsuit.

Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Music School Under Investigation After Students Hit with Huge Debt

Jay-Z’s Roc Nation School of Music in Brooklyn, NY is under investigation after students were hit with unexpected debt.

The city is investigating Roc Nation’s School of Music for predatory business practices.

According to the Gothamist, some low-income students were left with unexpected balances as high as $39,000!

The Gothamist report revealed that students were promised Hope scholarships that would pay their tuition and they would “graduate without debt.”

The school’s website claimed it would provide the students with a “debt-free education.”

But some students were left with unexpected balances ranging from $5,000 to $39,000.

Four students reported dropping out of the school due to the high balances they incurred.

One student who lived in a homeless shelter dropped out of the school after racking up $17,549 in student debt.

It seems Jay-Z and Roc Nation are having significant cash flow problems.

Vibe magazine reported that Jay-Z amended his lawsuit against attorney Tony Buzbee with claims that Roc Nation lost out on an unspecified $20 million “minimum fee guarantee” of an undisclosed contract.”

The lawsuit also claimed that Roc Nation was denied a $115 million loan and Jay-Z himself was rejected for a $55 million personal line of credit.

The agency investigating the school urged students to contact them.

“While we can’t discuss details of ongoing investigations, we urge students who feel they’ve been harmed by Roc Nation LIU’s conduct to reach out to us,” Michael Lanza, a spokesperson for the agency, said in a statement. “Consumers can call 311 or visit nyc.gov/Consumers to file a complaint with DCWP.”

The Hope Scholarship was promoted as an opportunity for students with the “highest need,” and was initially marketed on LIU’s website as providing a “debt-free education.”

It Begins: Jay-Z DENIED $115 Million Loan and $55 Million Line Of Credit

Jay-Z is being blackballed because of rape allegations made in a bogus lawsuit that has since been withdrawn. However, the woman who claimed he raped her is on TikTok doubling down on her bogus claims.

In December, attorney Tony Buzbee, representing a Jane Doe, added Jay-Z to a lawsuit already filed against rap mogul Sean Combs for allegedly raping her at an MTV VMAs afterparty when she was 13 years old. The lawsuit was voluntarily withdrawn in February.

But Jay-Z sued attorney Buzbee for extortion and defamation.

In his amended lawsuit, Jay-Z claims Roc Nation was denied a $115 million loan and he was personally denied a $55 million line of credit.

You’re probably asking yourself aren’t Jay-Z and his wife, Beyoncé, supposedly billionaires?

They probably are billionaires – on paper. But they can’t actually put their hands on a billion dollars in cash if their lives depended on it.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z are what’s known as “cash poor” billionaires. That means they have accumulated wealth in assets, such as mansions and other properties, cars, jewelry, etc. But they lack liquid cash to pay everyday expenses.

So they borrow from banks, or by leveraging their clout to influence wealthy people to give them money.

Unfortunately, due to the allegations, Jay-Z no longer has the type of clout that opens doors.

His amended lawsuit claims that Roc Nation lost out on an unspecified $20 million “minimum fee guarantee” of an undisclosed contract, and that the full fee for the deal “would have been many millions of dollars higher had the contract been performed.”

“As a result of defendants’ filing of the false lawsuit and other false public statements against Mr. Carter, Mr. Carter was denied a $55 million personal credit line,” the amended complaint claims. It also says Roc Nation was denied a $115 million loan. The legal team argues this directly affects Jay as well because he and Roc are “inextricably tied.”

It seems that, even though the lawsuit against him is withdrawn, the financial institutions that once toasted Jay-Z with champagne and gave him cash in wheelbarrows, no longer believe he is innocent of the allegations against him.

Trump hotel shooter claims he signed NDA for $5 million from Sean Combs after contracting herpes

A man who shot up Donald Trump’s Doral Miami resort in 2018 claims he signed a non-disclosure agreement for $5 million after he contracted herpes during a sexual encounter with Sean Combs’ ex, Cassie Ventura.

Jonathan Oddi was arrested in 2018 after a shootout with cops in the lobby of the Trump National Doral Golf Club.

During a police interrogation, Oddi went on a bizarre rant about the Bad Boy Records mogul and his then-girlfriend, Cassie. Oddi claimed Combs and Cassie kept him as a “sex slave” and she allegedly gave him herpes.

Oddi, a former p0rn star, said he signed an NDA in exchange for $5 million from Combs.

Investigators didn’t believe a word Oddi said at the time. They dismissed his story as the ranting of a mentally deranged man.

But now the feds are looking at Oddi’s 2018 police interrogation videos with fresh eyes.

In one video from 2018, Oddi recalled: “I had sex with Cassie [Ventura] and Sean [Combs]. Basically, he would masturbate and tell me what to do to Cassie. I was like a sex slave. For them, that’s what I was.”

MEGA/WENN

An image of the NDA document allegedly signed by Oddi and Combs in Miami in 2014 emerged Wednesday, the NY Post reported. The NDA seemed to back up Oddi’s bizarre story.

Oddi signed the NDA around the same time he divorced his wife, attorney Tonia Troutwine. She allegedly leaked the NDA to the Daily Mail, which first published the document.

She believes Oddi divorced her because he was suddenly flush with cash – and he didn’t want her to get her hands on his money.

“The date of that contract was around the same time as our divorce,” Troutwine told the Daily Mail. “I almost feel like he divorced me because he came into all this money and so I wouldn’t claim it,” Troutwine said.

“He kept on insisting that we sign the divorce paperwork, which I thought was very odd how he wanted to get things going so quickly,” Troutwine said.

“It was only later that I found out he had signed this agreement.”

“But our lives were already going in different paths. I started feeling like a third wheel in someone else’s life rather than a wife,” she added.

Troutwine believes Oddi met Sean Combs and Cassie at a private party at his mansion on Star Island in Miami Beach.

MEGA/WENN

“Diddy just has those radiating personalities, and I can tell that [Combs] really enjoyed the attention, you know. He likes to be the king. [Oddi] would’ve played perfectly into that,” she said.

Oddi went on a shopping spree less than a month after the divorce was finalized, NBC Miami reported.

He bought five distressed properties for $765,000 in two months, according to Miami-Dade County property records.

All of the properties were purchased mortgage-free, suggesting they were bought with cash.

On October 22, 2018, Oddi marched into the Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami carrying an American flag. He unfurled the flag in the lobby and began shouting about Trump. Police arrived within 2 minutes, and Oddi began shooting at the patrol cars through the lobby windows.

Officers returned fire, hitting him in the legs, investigators said.

Oddi was charged with attempted murder of law enforcement officers, armed burglary, and armed grand theft and is still in a Florida jail awaiting trial.

Oddi’s apparent mental breakdown came just months before Cassie ended her relationship with Combs for good, Troutwine noted.

Character actor Rondell Sheridan is hospitalized with pancreatitis, also known as inflammation of the pancreas. Sheridan, 66, announced his medical condition in an Instagram video on Wednesday.

The former “That’s So Raven” star and comedian explained that he felt ill while out on the road in April.

MEGA/WENN

Sheridan says doctors initially thought he had an upset stomach and they sent him home. But he returned to the hospital days later, and this time he was diagnosed with pancreatitis.

The pancreas produces digestive enzymes and hormones such as insulin, which is essential for pushing sugar into the cells to be used for energy in the muscles and organs.

Inflammation of the pancreas is caused by infection, gallstones, chronic alcoholism, or trauma.

Sheridan said he was hospitalized for 9 days and discharged home. But now he’s back in the hospital.

He created a GoFundMe to raise money to pay his hospital bills. So far, he has raised over $27,000 of the $35,000 goal.

Sheridan also appeared in “The Jamie Foxx Show,” “Kenan & Kel,” “Cousin Skeeter,” “A Different World,” “Touched by an Angel” and many more TV shows.

A 12-foot statue of a black woman has been erected in Times Square in New York City.

The bronze statue, titled “Grounded in the Stars,” is the brainchild of British artist Thomas J Price. Price’s sculpture is symbolic of what the average black woman in America represents to Londoners in England.

Social media had mixed reactions to the bronze statue of a woman standing with her hands on her hips.

One person on X wrote: “Honestly, it looks like she’s about to call you a racist.”

Another X user noted the statue looks like a social awareness campaign for diabetes: “this 12-foot tall statue in times square raises awareness of early-onset type-II diabetes in African-American women.”

@MattWalshBlog wrote, “They tear down statues of American heroes and replace them with statues of random obese black women.”

@Sierra_rak wrote, “The statue of a 12 foot ‘plus size’ African American woman has been erected in the middle of Time Square. Looks kinda like Leticia James. Are they trying to scare all tourists?”

According to Times Square’s official website, “Times Square stands as an iconic symbol and site of convergence, uniting people from all walks of life, individual stories and experiences intersecting on a global platform.”

Who is Smokey Robinson’s Wife, Frances, and Why Didn’t She Notice Her Housekeepers in Distress?

R&B legend Smokey Robinson, 85, and his wife Frances Gladney, 73, are being sued for $50 million by four housekeepers who allege sexual battery and rape.

The housekeepers claim Robinson raped them in multiple rooms in his Los Angeles area mansion. The assaults allegedly took place between 2007 and 2024. They also accused Robinson and his wife of labor violations, creating a hostile workplace, and working them for long hours with little pay.

“We believe that Mr. Robinson is a serial and sick rapist, and must be stopped,” the women’s attorney John Harris said at a news conference on Tuesday.

MEGA/WENN

The four women said Robinson waited until Frances was out of the house before he cornered them in rooms without cameras and assaulted them against their will.

One of the women was allegedly raped 23 times, while another woman claims he raped her 20 times. The women said they returned to work after each assault because they needed the money.

“They all feared missing a payday and not being able to pay their rent or buy food for their families,” attorney Harris said.

MEGA/WENN

Frances is accused of turning a blind eye to her husband’s alleged misconduct.

“We believe she was aware of the misconduct by her husband, Smokey Robinson, and that she used their status as well as our clients’ reliance on their living wage in order to keep them in check,” plaintiffs’ attorney Herbert Hayden said in the lawsuit.

WENN.com

Robinson and Gladney exchanged wedding vows in May 2002. They were good friends before they began dating. Smokey and Frances share the same birthday, February 19, although they’re 12 years apart in age.

Robinson said their friends took them out to dinner to celebrate their birthday. Afterward, they bonded over shared interests.

MEGA/WENN

“Frances and I were on the phone laughing and talking about our birthday party, when I said, ‘Hey, let’s go get some coconut shrimp,'” he recalled. “‘Sure,’ she said. That was the beginning for us, and I tell her all the time, ‘You do realize that I married you because of coconut shrimp.'”

MEGA/WENN

Robinson told PEOPLE that one of his songs, “I Keep Callin’ You,” was inspired by his wife.

“My thoughts on it [are] that you can put it on and be with the person that you want to be with and just kick back and enjoy each other. It’s more of the idea of love.”

MEGA/WENN

Frances is an interior decorator who helped renovate their 7-bedroom, 8-bathroom mansion in Chatsworth, an affluent suburb Northwest of Los Angeles.

Frances installed a crystal and wrought-iron chandelier in the entryway, replaced marble floors with cherry wood, and designed a home theater.

After a few years, the couple listed the property in 2005.

“She’s done a great job with our homes in L.A., Las Vegas and Pittsburgh,” he wrote for Pittsburgh Quarterly.

“I love my wife and my family. And I love the fact that they support me in loving my job,” he said in Lifetime’s movie Miracle in Motor City. “When you’ve got it like that, there’s no juggling.”
