A$AP Rocky, Rihanna’s common law husband, admits to raiding her closet and wearing her clothes. The 36-year-old rapper admits he steals her clothes, while explaining that he’s not confined by masculine fashion rules.

During an episode of “The Run-Through with Vogue” podcast, Rocky revealed he does not restrict himself to the masculinity gender box while dressing up. He admits he often wears Rihanna’s feminine things. The rapper said, “Man, pardon my language, I do what the f–k I want.”

He’s not apologetic about treading the line between masculine and feminine fashion. He just wears what looks good and feels good to him.

Rocky suggested that he and Rihanna clicked because they go both ways. He said, “She knew she was my boo back then.”

“I don’t know who drew the line between femininity, or just being feminine, and masculinity,” he said. He explained that it’s “not fair” that Rihanna can go into his closet and “take anything from it and wear it.” He argued that it “goes both ways.”

“She does it to me all the time,” Rocky said, “Sometimes you can see her on an interview or see a paparazzi photo like, ‘Wait. There goes my Miu Miu f—ing jacket.”

He continued, “Like, what the f–k? I was looking for that since 2021.”

Rocky and Rihanna share sons, RZA, 2, and Riot Rose, born in August 2023. She is reportedly expecting their third child.

Rihanna and Rocky will attend the 2025 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday, May 5. Rocky is a co-chair of the Met Gala along with Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, and LeBron James.

Trump Offers Immigrants $1,000 EACH to “Self-Deport” Out of the Country

The Trump administration will pay $1,000 each to undocumented immigrants who “self-deport” out of the country. The Department of Homeland Security says $1,000 is far cheaper than it costs to pay ICE agents to round them up and then deport them.

Immigrants who self-deport can avoid arrest by federal immigration agents if they choose to take Trump’s offer.

The DHS will pay for commercial flights out of the US, and then send the cash once they confirm they’ve left.

DHS claims the program will save taxpayers 70% over the cost of rounding up and deporting each illegal immigrant.

MEGA/WENN

According to DHS, it costs taxpayers an average of $17,121 for the feds to arrest, detain and deport a single illegal immigrant.

Stephen Miller, President Trump’s top homeland security adviser, said on X that “savings are as much as $1 million per illegal alien family given the long-term costs of free welfare and public support.”

MEGA/WENN

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said that “self-deportation is the best, safest and most cost-effective way” for illegal immigrants to avoid arrest by ICE.

But taxpayers wonder what will happen if the immigrants leave the country, get the cash, then come right back.

In unrelated news, President Trump plans to reopen Alcatraz to hold illegal immigrants and gangbangers.

MEGA/WENN

“I am directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ, to house America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

Alcatraz is a former federal penitentiary on Alcatraz Island off the shore of San Francisco.

The prison closed in 1963 because it cost too much to operate (about $10 per day per prisoner).

Mob figure Al Capone was the most famous prisoner in Alcatraz.

Mo’Nique Scolds Shannon Sharpe for Not Listening to Her About Dating Younger Women

Comedienne Mo’Nique scolded Shannon Sharpe after she tried to warn him about messing around with younger women.

During an October 2023 appearance on Shannon’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast, Mo’Nique told Shannon: “You betta take yo old ass and get somebody to love you! … He need him an old fat gal who can bake good cakes, make some smothered turkey wings, who gone rub his feet at the night time and have a sip of his cognac to make him feel better about himself when he come home at night.”

Mo’Nique, 57, told Shannon that he doesn’t need “no 26-year-old girl, you don’t need no 36-year-old girl.”

But Shannon responded enthusiastically, “I do!”

In a recent standup routine, Mo’Nique told the crowd, “Yes I told that ni**a Shannon Sharpe leave that white b—h alone!”

An OF model sued Shannon for $50 million last month. She alleged that he raped her multiple times and physically abused her. But Shannon provided text messages that prove their BDSM encounters were consensual.

Shannon, 56, has since stepped away from his gig as a co-host on ESPN’s “First Take.”

The former NFL star has a troubling history of being aggressive with women. He has been sued multiple times and he reportedly settled the lawsuits.

Madonna threw a 29th birthday bash for her latest boytoy, Akeem Morris. The 66-year-old music icon only dates men age 35 and younger. So Akeem has a little time left.

The Internet says Akeem is Madonna’s hottest boytoy yet.

The “Material Girl” singer shared photos and videos from Akeem’s birthday bash on Sunday.

Invited guests included Madonna’s three youngest children, Mercy, 19, and 12-year-old twins Stella and Estere, who were entertained by reggae singer YG Marley.

“Happy Birthday to my favorite Taurus,” the “Vogue” singer wrote in the gallery caption on Instagram. The images showed Madonna flaunting her bra under a sheer top. Another photo showed her sitting on Akeem’s lap.

Akeem then posted his own set of photos and videos from the party, while thanking his “wifey” for showering him with gifts and love.

“All I can say is thank you. Thank you wifey [heart emoji]” he wrote in his caption Sunday.

“Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with me last night,” Akeem added. “Thank you to those who worked behind the scenes to create such an unforgettable vibe. It meant so much to have the people I love and respect all in one room. It was a special night, and the energy in the room was nothing but love.”

He included a video that shows him dancing with Madonna, who looks a decade younger than her stated age. Kudos to Madonna’s plastic surgeon!

Is this your queen? Fans aren’t showing love or support for Beyoncé‘s Cowboy Carter tour. A fan video from one of her concerts shows Beyoncé looking lost as she performed in front of a half-empty stadium.

The fan who uploaded the video to X wrote: “Something is going on in the industry. The biggest stars aren’t selling and they look like they have no idea what to do on stage. What caused this? Katy Perry and now Beyonce…”

Beyoncé is struggling to sell tickets to her current tour compared to her previous stadium tours where tickets sold for thousands of dollars.

As media outlets reported on the unsold tickets, Live Nation confirmed in a statement that the Cowboy Carter tour is 94 percent sold out across all dates.

However, according to TicketMaster, thousands of tickets are still available for the current tour just 2 years after Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour sold out everywhere.

What happened in those 2 years?

Insiders say Beyoncé and Jay-Z are getting payback for all the dirt they’ve done to others over the years. But her fans blame President Trump’s economy and ticket resellers.

Fans expressed outrage over sky-high ticket prices for the Cowboy Carter tour. Jay-Z blamed resellers for snapping up all the tickets early on, then trying to sell them for outrageous prices.

Panicking resellers dumped thousands of unsold tickets on the open market at steep discounts. But fans aren’t buying – even though some tickets cost less than a McDonald’s Happy Meal.

The Daily Mail noted that 3,000 seats were still available at SoFi Stadium when Beyoncé took the stage for the opening night last week.

An insider told the MailOnline that Beyoncé and Jay-Z remain hopeful that the BeyHive will show support and purchase the cheap tickets to help her save face.

The couple is “expecting more of her fans to buy tickets today and in the coming days if resale gets cheaper.”

Fashion’s biggest event of the year will be held on Monday night in New York City – but one A-list celebrity won’t be in attendance.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell, 54, has been banned from attending the Met Gala amid her ongoing feud with Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, 75.

According to reports, the British socialite and actress famously bad mouthed Met Gala host Anna on stage during an industry event.

Last September, Naomi and Anna clashed at the New York Fashion Week ceremony for Harlem’s 17th Annual Fashion Row – where Anna was scheduled to present Naomi with an award.

But Naomi was fashionably late and she kept Anna and everyone else waiting. Anna told the audience: “I am a very punctual person, and I have the honor of presenting tonight to someone who is often late.”

Word got back to Naomi that Anna was at the event dissing her for being late.

Naomi finally arrived over an hour late with a bandage on her knee. But a fed-up Anna had already left.

Harper’s Bazaar editor-in-chief Samira Nasr presented Naomi with the Fashion Icon Award. As Naomi accepted her award, she told the audience: “It wasn’t my choice to have the other lady (Anna), I’d much rather have this one.”

Her comment drew loud gasps from the crowd.

Prior to their feud, Naomi attending the Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art a total of 21 times.

But a source told MailOnline that Naomi was uninvited to the bash this year.

In a video last week, Naomi said she’s done attending the MET.

“It is my last. I can’t… I’m too old. It’s too much for me, the anxiety,” she said.

Naomi is one of only six models to be declared supermodels by the fashion industry and the news media.

Tiny Reveals Notorious B.I.G. Apologized to Xscape for Calling Them ‘Ugly’

In 1994, the late rapper Notorious B.I.G. released a single titled “Just Playing (Dreams)” off his debut album Ready to Die. In the lyrics, Biggie lists his favorite R&B singers and romances them in his dreams.

He targeted R&B group Xscape with a vicious jab, saying, “I’ll f–k RuPaul before I f–k them ugly-ass Xscape bitches.”

He also made a questionable remark about 8-year-old Raven-Symoné: “make Raven-Symoné call date rape.”

While RuPaul and Raven-Symoné weren’t offended by the lyrics, Xscape took offense to Biggie calling them “ugly”.

At the time, Xscape was still riding high off their 1993 debut album, Hummin’ Comin’ at ‘Cha. The album spawned the hit singles “Just Kickin’ It”, “Understanding”, “Love on My Mind” and “Tonight”.

Hummin’ Comin’ at ‘Cha peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart.

In nearly every interview they gave in 1994, Xscape mentioned Biggie’s lyrics and that they were offended and hurt by what he said.

Their producer, Jermaine Dupri reportedly made Biggie apologize to his group.

In an interview on “The Morning Hustle” podcast, Xscape lead singer Tameka “Tiny” Harris (right) recalls Biggie apologized to them before he was fatally shot in Los Angeles in 1997 at age 24.

“Somebody came… I don’t know if it was Diddy… somebody came and said Biggie wanna speak to y’all,” said Tiny. “I was just like, ‘I’m going to see what he’s talking about.’ And you know, he was very nice, he was very apologetic and he basically said, ‘I don’t know what I was thinking. Look, I’m ugly. I’m ugly as hell. Y’all is beautiful, and I just wanted to say I apologize.'”

Tiny said the apology came just minutes before he was killed in a drive-by shooting following an afterparty on March 9, 1997.

Sandra Rose/Sandrarose.com

Biggie (pictured with Sean Combs in 1995) is considered one of the greatest rappers of all time. But he was very self-conscious about his looks and he may have projected his insecurities on the 4 members of Xscape.

In his 1995 hit single “One More Chance,” Biggie rapped: “Black and ugly as ever, however I stay Gucci down to the socks, rings and watch filled with Rocks.”

A heartbreaking moment occurred between Steph Curry and his only son, Canon, after the Warriors lost to the Houston Rockets 115-107 at home on Friday. With the Game 6 loss, the series is now tied 3-3. Game 7 is on Sunday, May 4, in Houston.

Steph, 37, was often double-teamed and he finished with 29 points. He scored only 3 points in the 4th quarter.

Steph’s stats were disappointing to his fans and to his son, Canon, who turns 7 on July 2.

After the game, Steph strolled to the box where his wife Ayesha Curry and mom, Sonya, were waiting to greet him. But Canon turned his back on his father and hugged his mom’s neck as Steph approached them.

Ayesha forced Canon to turn around and face his father.

“Bro! Hey, dude, come here. Let me tell you something,” Steph said to Canon. “Guess what? We have another game on Sunday.”

“I know that!” a disappointed Canon responded before turning to embrace his mom again.

The embarrassing moment was captured by NBC Sports and quickly went viral on social media.

Steph and Ayesha Curry, 36, also share daughters Riley, 12, Ryan, 9, and baby Cai who was born in May 2024.

Social media users expressed concern for the Rockets after making Canon cry.

One person wrote: “I just KNOW the Rockets are shaking in their boots cause what yall did was have THE MF Steph Curry’s son look embarrassed… Steph not gone let that slide.”

Others noted that Canon is about to turn 7, and a boy should have better control over his emotions – especially in public.

Fans suggested that Steph bring his son to practice like his father, Dell Curry, did for him. Or Steph and Ayesha can hire a male nanny as a substitute role model until Steph gets home from work.

Cedric the Entertainer reacted to CBS canceling his “The Neighborhood” spin-off. The Neighborhood star and producer asked fans to “write to CBS” to prevent the cancellation of the untitled spin-off series.

The write-in campaign worked to save other CBS shows from the chopping block.

CBS recently announced its decision to cancel the spin-off, which would have centered on the show’s characters Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney) and Marty (Marcel Spears).

The news upset fans who anticipated the series spin-off. Cedric, 61, told fans to channel their frustration by writing to the network.

“I want everybody to write in [to CBS], because I think people are going to see this season finale and be, like, ‘That’s a great show! Y’all should do that show!'” said Cedric, pictured with co-star Tichina Arnold.

In a recent interview with TV Line, Cedric said he “was a little disappointed, for sure.” He added: “I do recognize that we’re in a very difficult time as far as television goes.” He said networks are “not doing a lot of pilots [anymore].”

In positive news, “The Neighborhood” was renewed for its 8th and final season.

“The brilliant cast and creative team at The Neighborhood led by the incomparable Cedric the Entertainer have brought levity, laughter and poignant storylines to Monday nights for seven incredible seasons,” CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach said in a statement.

The Neighborhood‘s Season 7 averaged 4.9 million total viewers, down 16% from Season 6.
