Aspiring rapper King Harris clapped back at television mogul 50 Cent for posting a photo of his mother, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, on Instagram amid his ongoing beef with rapper Tip “T.I.” Harris.

50 Cent posted a photo of Tiny performing in concert on his Instagram page on Sunday. He captioned the image: “I keep saying keep my name out ya mouth, ok?”

Fiddy was referring to rapper T.I. who has said he won’t share the same stage with 50 Cent in a Verzuz battle. Everyone agrees T.I. would win the battle hands down.

One IG user commented under 50’s post: “Even with this Post TI winning.”

King Harris responded to the disrespect by telling 50 Cent to dig up his dead mom and post her photo. He also told 50 Cent to put flowers on his mother’s grave.

Some fans say King was disrespectful and he could have handled the situation in private. But others say King was right to defend his mother publicly, since 50 Cent posted her photo on his public IG page.

IG user @deemonroe711 wrote: “Tiny is such a sweet lady. Making fun of her body is just mean.”

IG user @havonjr wrote: “Man the beef gotta stay between men. Once you add wife, kids, parents etc. You gotta hold the L at that point.”

And @thereal_jakestaley commented: “You normally have me crying laughing, but this s–t is not funny homie. She’s one of our icons and she Tip wife. You too big for that and a lot of us look up to you.”

Rapper Blueface is expecting a baby with his current girlfriend Navaeh Akira.

Blueface and Navaeh were on livestream when they both found out they’re pregnant.

In the video, Blueface’s hand trembles as he holds the pregnancy test up to the camera. Then he turned the stick around to read the test result.

“Son of a b–h,” he said, as Navaeh laughed out loud.

Blueface was hoping for a different result. But he and Navaeh hugged it out since they’re going to be parents to a newborn soon.

Blueface, 29, has a special needs son with aspiring rapper-turned-boxer Chrisean Malone. He also has a son, Javaughn, and a daughter named Journey with his ex Jaidyn Alexis.

If you recall, Blueface dumped Navaeh in January after she misspelled his name on her neck tattoo. It isn’t clear what caused the breakup between Blueface and Nevaeh, but they apparently got back together since then.

In a video that went viral on X (Twitter) in January, Nevaeh said she made the decision to leave the relationship.

“I am not worried about no mf n–a that look like a d-ke named Sylvia,” she said, referring to Blueface.

Their relationship took a turn after he compared her to T.I. and Tiny’s son, King Harris.

Blueface has dated several women since his release from prison in November.

He briefly dated 45-year-old reality TV star Hazel-E before moving on to Nevaeh.

Gov. Gavin Newsom to Black mayor: “I’m like you, I can’t read”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom got off on the wrong foot with Black Atlantans during a visit to Georgia over the weekend. Newsom was in Georgia to campaign for former Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms who is running for Governor in 2026.

Newsom participated in a conversation with Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens at the Rialto Theater on Sunday night.

The Democratic governor compared himself to Black people, saying he scored 960 on the SAT test and he can’t read either.

“I’m not trying to impress you – I’m just trying to impress upon you [that] I’m like you. I’m no better than you. You know? I’m a 960 SAT guy,” he said.

Dickens nodded and laughed as Newsom said, “I’m not trying to offend anyone, you know, trying to act all there if you got 940. But literally [I’m] a 960 SAT guy. I cannot [read]. You’ve never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech.”

Mayor Dixon and the crowd fell silent as Newsom continued to joke that politics is the wrong business for him to be in.

The crowd began to buzz and soon a video surfaced on X/Twitter Sunday night. Many wondered why a governor assumes all Black people can’t read. Or why a potential presidential candidate told his voter base that he can’t read.

Newsom’s conversation with Mayor Dickens at the Rialto was hosted by A Cappella Books in honor of the launch of Newsom’s new book, “Young Man in a Hurry: A Memoir of Discovery.”

Newsom’s words angered people on social media who couldn’t believe he compared himself to Black people by saying he can’t read.

Eric Dane’s widow, Rebecca Gayheart (left), and his girlfriend, Janell Shirtcliff (right), are both grieving his death. Eric died Thursday from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. He was 53.

“He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife, and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world,” the family said in a statement.

The beloved actor best known for his role as Dr. Mark “McSteamy” Sloan on “Grey’s Anatomy,” announced his diagnosis in April 2025.

The disease causes loss of muscle control, breathing difficulties and paralysis that get progressively worse over time.

Rebecca, 54, stayed by Eric’s side and comforted him in his final days, according to Page Six.

Janell, 42, was also there for Eric amid his ALS battle. She posted several photos with Eric to her Instagram Stories on Friday.

One photo shows Eric kissing Janell’s shoulder on a beach. Reports of Eric and Janell’s relationship first surfaced last June.

An insider told Entertainment Tonight that Eric and Janell had been “in an on-and-off relationship for over three years.” The source said they cared “deeply for each other.”

“Eric asked Janell to be there for him during this time, and she wanted to show up for him,” the source added.

Rebecca filed for divorce in 2018, but she withdrew the divorce in 2025 when he was diagnosed with ALS.

She detailed their complicated life in an episode of “Broad Ideas” podcast.

Rebecca (pictured with Eric in 2015) said she continued to “show up” for Eric to be a good “role model” to their daughters.

At the time, Rebecca said she and Eric had been separated for 8 years.

Eric and Rebecca, whom he married in 2004, shared daughters Billie, 15, and Georgia, 14.

Friends launched a GoFundMe that raised over $300,000 for Billie and Georgia. The GoFundMe surpassed the original $250,000 goal on Friday.

Minnesota Vikings WR Rondale Moore died Saturday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He was 25.

Moore was found dead in the garage of his house on Feb. 21 in New Albany, Indiana. No foul play is suspected. The investigation into his death continues.

Moore played college football for the Purdue Boilermakers. As a freshman, he won the Paul Hornung Award, and the Paul Warfield Trophy, awarded to the country’s top receiver. He was also named Big Ten Receiver of the Year and Freshman of the Year.

The 5’9″ wide receiver was selected 49th overall by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2021 NFL draft.

In September 2021, Moore bought his mother a house. He posted a photo of himself posing with his mother outside her new home in their native Indiana.

He captioned the post: “For everything you sacrificed for me and my siblings, this is only the beginning. Mama, this one is for you.”

The Cardinals traded Moore to the Atlanta Falcons in 2024. He suffered a knee injury during training camp and was placed on injured reserve.

In March 2025, the Minnesota Vikings signed Moore to a one-year, $2 million contract. On August 9, Moore blew out his knee during a preseason game against the Houston Texans.

On August 12, he was placed on the injured reserve for the second consecutive year. Moore was optimistic that he would return to the NFL.

“You know how many times I’ve been knocked on my ass in my career,” he said. “You get back up and you get out there.”

But his injury kept him off the football field.

Fans and NFL players were stunned by the news of his death on Saturday. Tributes poured in on social media.

NY Giants quarterback Russell Wilson wrote on X/Twitter: “RIP Rondale Moore [praying hands]. Heartbroken for your family, friends, & teammates.”

Indianapolis Colts star Sauce Gardner tweeted: “bro….. what is going on in the world right now?”

The Minnesota Vikings issued a statement that read: “We are deeply saddened by the heartbreaking news of Rondale Moore’s sudden passing. Our thoughts are with Rondale’s family and friends during this devastating time.”

Grown men broke down crying after popular Twitch streamer Kai Cenat stopped their $100,000 a month allowances when he stepped back from streaming.

Twitch streamer Tylil James, who allegedly cashed $100,000 checks from Kai every month, is one of the men whose allowance was cut off.

Tylil cried hot tears in a livestream video after Kai cut him off financially. He described emotional reactions from other streamers who were cut off, too.

“Y’all don’t even understand. Like, people really was crying off camera,” he said while wiping away tears. “Like, on my mother life, off camera people literally was crying in my arms.”

Kai has been on a personal journey ever since his devastating breakup from girlfriend Gigi Alayah.

In December, Kai revealed his personal battle with depression. He decided to step back from streaming to protect his mental health after the recent suicides of fellow streamers.

But steeping back meant a substantial drop in the revenue he was making. He wouldn’t be able to pay his homies and streamers a monthly allowance.

In January of last year, Tylil called out Kai for “ghosting” him after Kai started dating Gigi. But the relationship didn’t last and Kai was devastated over the breakup.

There are rumors that Kai thought Gigi cheated on him with one of his friends. But she denied the allegations.

Kai clarified the rumors in a post on Instagram on February 13.

“There have been rumors, speculation, and comments made about my previous relationship and my friends,” Kai wrote. “I want to apologize for not addressing things sooner, but I needed to take a step back from social media and process everything.”

He continued: “If there’s ever something important, something real for me to address or say, you will hear it directly from me. You’ll always hear it from me. Don’t let all the noise distract from that. This applies to everything in my life. My relationships, my businesses, my streams, everything. I wish the best to Gabrielle and ask to please respect both sides.”

Kai has not commented on grown men crying after he cut them off financially.

Gabourey Sidibe’s husband Brandon Frankel diagnosed with cancer

Actress Gabourey Sidibe’s husband Brandon Frankel has been diagnosed with stage 1 thyroid cancer. Brandon’s cancer was caught early because he pushed his doctor to order an ultrasound that his doctor didn’t think he needed.

Brandon announced his cancer diagnosis on Instagram on Friday, saying he underwent surgery to remove his diseased thyroid.

“Things I never thought I’d have to post: I was diagnosed with Stage I Papillary Thyroid cancer. I found it very early because I pushed for an ultrasound my doctor didn’t think I needed. I refused to ‘wait and see’. I refused to come back in 6–9 months. I made the calls. I leveraged connections. I chased cancellations. I made a LOT of noise. It worked. Surgery went well. I’m okay for now.”

Brandon – who has fraternal twins Cooper and Maya with Gabourey – admitted his cancer is a “more aggressive cell type” so he will need to monitor himself for signs of cancer recurrence.

“Pathology showed a more aggressive cell type, so there’s more monitoring ahead. But we caught it early. I’m extremely proactive so I can be around for my family.”

Brandon said he is lucky he has access to excellent healthcare and his cancer was detected sooner than people without insurance or money to make things happen faster.

“Here’s the uncomfortable truth: Early detection didn’t just save my life. Access and advocating for myself did. I had insurance. I had time. I had people who could help move things faster. Too many don’t. Healthcare shouldn’t reward the loudest, the most connected, or the most financially secure. It shouldn’t require strategy, privilege, and stamina just to feel safe.”

He praised his wife of 5 years, “Precious” actress Gabourey for “holding everything down” while he was in treatment.

He said: “My wife carried our family through all of this – holding everything down while I handled appointments, surgery, and recovery. I don’t know how anyone does this without that kind of love and support. I’m grateful. I’m lucky. But luck and means shouldn’t be a healthcare plan. The system is broken. Healthcare should be a basic human right. PLEASE advocate for yourself, and be proactive!”

Signs and symptoms of thyroid cancer include a swelling or lump in front of the neck below the Adam’s apple. A small soft or firm nodule may be felt on one side of the neck.

  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Hoarse voice
  • Pain in front of the neck
  • Sensation of fullness in the throat
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Coughing
  • Swollen glands in the neck
  • “Thyroid cancer usually does not cause pain,” says Athanasios Bikas, MD PhD, of Harvard Medical School. “If nodules start growing, patients might feel more pressure in the neck, or very uncommonly there might be some referred pain to the jaw and ears.”

    Dr. Bikas continued: “People should go to the doctor if they find a lump (especially one that is growing), if they have any compressive symptoms (trouble breathing, trouble swallowing), or if they get a hoarse voice (that is not because of an upper respiratory infection).”

    Grandson of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup inventor accuses Hershey of “quietly replacing” chocolate and peanut butter

    The grandson of the inventor of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups claims Hershey replaced the real milk chocolate and peanut butter with cheaper artificial flavors.

    In a LinkedIn post last week, Brad Reese, the grandson of H.B. Reese, said Hershey replaced milk chocolate with compound coatings and peanut butter with imitation peanut butter to cut corners and save money.

    “How does The Hershey Company continue to position Reese’s as its flagship brand, a symbol of trust, quality and leadership, while quietly replacing the very ingredients (Milk Chocolate + Peanut Butter) that built Reese’s trust in the first place?” Reese wrote in a Feb. 14 LinkedIn post.

    “Reese’s became iconic because my grandfather built it on real ingredients and real integrity,” Reese wrote in a separate LinkedIn post on Tuesday.

    H.B. Reese invented Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups in 1928 in the basement of his Hershey, Pennsylvania home. The candy originally sold for between 1 and 2 cents. Reese’s sons sold the company to Hershey in 1963.

    The original Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup label from 1928 contained only 5 ingredients: peanut butter, milk chocolate, cane sugar, lecithin and dextrose (a form of glucose).

    Photo of Reese's label

    Today’s Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup label contains 15+ ingredients including sugar, peanuts, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, dextrose, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, lactose milk, various preservative and emulsifiers, and 14% milk solids.

    Reese’s, which is owned by Hershey, makes Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Reese’s Pieces.

    In a statement to CBS News, Hershey said “Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are made the same way they always have been.”

    Workers restore Philadelphia’s slavery exhibit that Trump ordered removed

    Workers in Philadelphia reinstalled a slavery exhibit that President Trump ordered dismantled. The exhibits and slavery educational material were restored at President’s House Site in Philadelphia on Thursday.

    The National Park Service confirmed the materials restored at the site are the same plaques that were removed in January.

    The exhibits were removed by the National Park Service after Mr. Trump issued an executive order called “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.”

    “Today we celebrate the return of our history at this important site,” Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker said in a statement. “We are thankful for all the supporters across the city to get us to this point. We know that this is not the end of the legal road. We will handle all legal challenges that arise with the same rigor and gravity as we have done thus far.”

    A federal judge denied a motion for a stay by the Trump administration.

    Philadelphians expressed outrage after workers removed the plaques from the site on January 22. The city of Philadelphia filed a lawsuit in federal court to have the plaques reinstalled.

    On Feb. 16, Judge Cynthia M. Rufe ordered the Trump administration to restore the historic site and not install any “replacement materials” without a mutual agreement with the City of Philadelphia.

    The Trump administration filed an appeal on Feb. 17. In a statement, a Department of the Interior spokesperson said the exhibit didn’t tell the full story of the history of slavery. “Updated interpretive materials providing a fuller account of the history of slavery at Independence Hall would have been installed in the coming days,” the spokesperson said.
