1. Steve Harvey is responding to cheating rumors about his wife of 16 years, Marjorie Bridges.
According to social media users, Marjorie has been creeping with Harvey’s security guard, Hot New Hip Hop reports. The comedian addressed the gossip during his appearance at the recent Invest Fest.
“I don’t know what y’all doing, but find something else to do, ’cause we fine,” Harvey told the crowd (listen to the audio via the IG clip below). “Lord have mercy. I sure wish I could cuss, though. Sometimes you just wanna respond. But I ain’t got no time for rumors and gossip, man, God been good to me. I’m still shining, I appreciate y’all coming.”
As Hot New Hip Hop reports, Nigerian Senator Ned Nwoko also reacted to the cheating reports in defense of his friend.
“When we read about our friend Steve Harvey and his lovely wife having issues, we had to contact Him,” Senator Nwoko wrote on social media. “He confirmed that he and his wife are very much okay and it’s all fake news and should be disregarded. The family is happy together and we wish them all the best.”
Marjorie Harvey addressed the rumors by posting scripture,
My husband and I don’t usually stop to address all the foolishness and lies that have been spread about us. However, to whom much is given much is required. I understand that with my platform comes some sort of responsibility to those that may not be as strong as we are. Read and share this with your loved ones that may not know how to properly cope. God Bless all of you
2. GloRilla Tella Young Women To Be Toxic
Rapper GloRilla tells young women to use their 20s to be toxic and delusional during this stage, which means they must mature by the time they reach their 30s. Many people feel her advice is terrible and hope that no young lady takes her instruction and runs with it; shoot, some women in their 40s still follow Glo’s blueprint:
3. R.Kelly Victims To Get 10.5 million dollars
Six victims of R. Kelly who were threatened for appearing in the docuseries “Surviving R. Kelly” have been awarded a total of about $10.5 million from the disgraced crooner and his former manager, Donnell Russell, reports TMZ.
According to documents obtained by the website, the women had sued Kelly and Russell for successfully shutting down a December 2018 screening of “Surviving R. Kelly” in New York City. They claimed that starting in May 2018, the Kelly and Russell waged a campaign to intimidate them, as well as A&E/Lifetime and the producers to stop the docuseries from seeing the light of day.
The lawsuit claims that when those efforts, including legal threats, did not result in shutting down the screening, Kelly’s team called producers on the night of the screening and said someone was “going to shoot up the place.”
The fake threat worked. After receiving the false mass shooting threat, organizers shut down the event. According to the victims, it opened up past trauma and resulted in them suffering PTSD and panic attacks.
The judgment against Kelly and Russell means each of the 6 women should get anywhere between $1.1 million and $2.25 million. And despite R. Kelly being broke, the women may actually see some of that payment, as R. Kelly’s music is still generating revenue, according to TMZ. The site reports that over $500,000 of his royalties from Universal Music Group are going to pay restitution he owed victims from one of his federal sex crimes cases.
4. Sha’Carri Richardson Snubs Mainstream Media For ‘Black Journalists’ After Winning World Title, Viral Video Claim
Richardson was in Hungary for the World Athletic Championships where she won a gold medal in spectacular fashion in the women’s 100-meter final in record time for the event. She raced past her opponents for a World Athletic Championships best time of 10.65 seconds. But it wasn’t so much that she won but more so how she won and then how she reportedly handled that win afterward.
Richardson is shown toward the end of the sprint waving her hand toward the crowd in acknowledgment that she was about to win. Afterward, while media likely clamored to score an exclusive interview, a video posted to social media claimed to show Richardson only speaking with a Black reporter before walking past a group of other members of the media and simply telling them, “No, thank you.”
In what seemed like a coordinated effort, dozens and dozens of social media accounts posted the same video accompanied by the following message:
Sha’Carri didn’t stop to talk to ANY of the media, saying, “No, thank you!” She ONLY stopped to talk to these black journalists!
Later, it appeared Richardson did speak with mainstream media as the Associated Press reported that she said after the race that she was inspired by her opponents.

6. Kanye Assed Out In Italy
We've seen an awful lot of Kanye West's wife, Bianca Censori, during their Italian trip -- thanks to her rather revealing outfits -- but now, Kanye's the one showing serious skin.
Ye and Censori continued their tour of the country Monday, this time making a stop in Venice. The two hopped on a water taxi, and that's when things got cheeky ... as Kanye's entire backside was exposed as he tried to sit near the back of the vessel. Apparently, Kanye didn't notice his butt was out, or maybe he just didn't care ... because he didn't really do anything to hide it.

“There’s no bodies involved, big difference [skull emoji],” wrote one Instagram user.

Moneybagg Yo has responded after a woman claimed he was throwing fake money at a recent concert, and said there’s no way he would do such a thing.
