1. BlueFace Finally Meets His Son
It appears that Chrisean Rock & baby daddy "BlueFace" has pushed the pause button on their very public/toxic relationship. Recently the internet has been set ablaze with pictures of Blue face bonding with their newborn son, Chrisean Jr. Many people are of the belief that the pics are just another way to manipulate their followers and fans. What say you???
2. OFFSET LAUGHS OFF NICKI'S HUBBY'S THREAT
Nicki Minaj's husband and some goons were apparently waiting to see Offset outside somewhere on the streets of New York this week -- but the man himself was up in air.
A pal of Kenneth Petty went live on IG Friday night -- which, of course, was captured and reposted by the general public. In the lengthy clips, you can see him, KP and another man all standing on a sidewalk across the street from some building ... calling out Offset.
Seems they thought he'd be leaving this place and planned on confronting him -- evidenced in their ominous remarks in the videos. Kenneth, especially, looks ready for smoke.
Unclear exactly what this is all about -- but some have speculated it might pertain to the VMAs, where Nicki and Cardi both performed ... and where they may have even crossed paths. As we all know -- they have an ugly, violent history between them.
Unfortunately for Ken and co. ... Offset never showed, and the reason for that is because he's had a busy past 24 hours. On Friday, he was noticeably live streaming with a famous YouTuber out in Atlanta -- and come Saturday morning, homeboy was in Colorado meeting HC Deion Sanders and raging with all the college kids ahead of the big game.
Offset hopped on social media upon touching down this AM, and he was kinda taunting the fellas who were curbside looking for trouble. Sounds like he finds the whole thing hilarious.
As he says in not so many words ... I'm on a freakin' jet, man. And I'm rich!
3. CARDI B CLAPS BACK AT NICKI MINAJ FAN CALLING HER FATHER A RAPIST & PEDOPHILE
Cardi B continues to face abuse from fans of her long-running rival Nicki Minaj, and one social media post making serious allegations about her father has gotten under the Bronx bombshell’s skin.
On Saturday (September 16), a Twitter user by the name of @yonceonikafenty — whose profile picture is Nicki Minaj — wrote on the platform: “Cardi B’s father is a convicted r@pist.. and a p€dophile too.”
The post was accompanied by screenshots of Cardi’s father Carlos Almánzar’s alleged arrest record, claiming he was “convicted of raping a 14-year-old girl in 1988” and “sent to prison for 5 years.”
The following day, Cardi took to her own Twitter account to fire back at the Barb while setting the record straight on her father’s alleged crimes.
“First it was the video lying on Offset, now it’s lies on my dad,” she wrote, quote-tweeting the post. “I’m pretty sure ya know offenders have to take a pic every year.
“Keep it cute on family…Especially offenders, pedos and molesters cuz everybody gonna wanna cry when I start talking about the real pussy snatchers.”
Cardi may have been alluding to Nicki Minaj’s brother, who is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence for raping an 11-year-old girl, and husband, who spent four years behind bars in the 1990s for the attempted rape of a 16-year-old girl.
The clap-back comes shortly after Cardi B and Nicki Minaj’s husbands exchanged words in what appears to be an inherited beef from their famous wives.
4. TEYANA TAYLOR CONFIRMS SPLIT FROM IMAN SHUMPERT AFTER 10 YEARS
Teyana Taylor and her husband, Iman Shumpert, are calling it quits on their marriage after 10 years.
The singer and actress made the shocking announcement on Instagram on Sunday (September 17). The announcement was made next to a photo of the couple clearly having fun with one another.
“AHT AHT! Not too much on my bestie!” she wrote, referring to Shumpert. “In all fairness, Iman and I are separated and have been for a while. To be 1000% clear, “infidelity” ain’t one of the reasons for our departure. We are still the best of friends, great business partners and are one hell of a team when it comes to co-parenting our 2 beautiful children.”
She continued: “Most importantly we are FAMILY & in the 10yrs together, 7yrs married we ain’t ever played with or about THAT. We just keep y’all asses out the group chat lol, which is the reason we’ve been able to successfully & peacefully separate without all of the outside noise. The only reason I’m even sharing THIS part of the chat is because the narratives are getting a little out of hand & it’s unfair to all parties involved. I hope this provided some clarity for y’all. Okay AunTey taking y’all back out the chat bye!”
5. BUSTA RHYMES HORRIFIES FANS WITH HORNY ANTICS DURING 50 CENT SHOW
Busta Rhymes may be a beloved figure in Hip Hop, but even he isn’t immune to his judgement being called into question — as his recent onstage antics have shown.
The Brooklyn rap veteran has served as the energizing support act on 50 Cent‘s Final Lap Tour since it began in July, and during a stop in St. Paul, Minnesota on Friday (September 15), Busta certainly had one concertgoer’s pulse racing with some lewd behavior.
Footage of the moment, which began circulating this past weekend, shows the Flipmode Squad frontman holding his microphone near his crotch as if it was an erect penis while wearing a mischievous grin on his face.
As his seductive hit “I Know What You Want” plays in the background, Busta then points to one fan in the crowd and raps: “Baby, if you give it to me,” before stroking his mic with his tongue held out.
“We fucking tonight,” he tells the fan while pointing to them again. “I see your love for me, baby.”
6. 6IX9INE DENIES PAYING KODAK BLACK $1M FOR 'SHAKA LAKA' FEATURE
6ix9ine has revealed that even though Kodak Black was paid $1 million for their collaboration earlier this year, the money didn’t come out of his pocket.
During an interview with True Life Network Podcast that premiered on Saturday (September 18), the New York rapper set the record straight about “Shaka Laka” and his featured artist’s massive payday from the song.
“There’s a whole company called Fume, right?” he began, emphasizing that the check came from them. “There’s whole videos, pictures, bank statements — like literally, there’s videos online of this company saying, ‘Listen, this is a collab song for our vapes,’ right?
“They’re holding a check, taking a picture with him. It’s everywhere, right, and they’re like, ‘Yo, 6ix9ine paid a million dollars for Kodak’ — no, it was their song, right? It was their song, they paid the million dollars.”
Despite the seven-figure funding behind it, “Shaka Laka” wasn’t received well by many in the Hip Hop community. Boosie Badazz was among several rappers who weren’t happy about the collaboration.
The Baton Rouge MC took to Instagram Live in late July to put Kodak Black on blast for working with 6ix9ine, whose reputation as a snitch has made him a reviled figure in the rap world.
7. KANYE WEST'S 7-YEAR-OLD SON FOLLOWS IN FATHER'S FOOTSTEPS BY FLIPPING OFF PAPARAZZI
Kanye West’s second child with Kim Kardashian is mirroring his father’s character as the paparazzi caught him on camera flipping them the bird.
On Friday (September 15), Saint and his mother were followed by media photographers as they were heading into an Island Burgers outlet after the 7-year-old’s basketball game. As the pair was approached, the boy smilingly showed the cameras his middle finger.
Kardashian was visibly unpleased with this gesture as she was seen covering her child’s face with her hand as a way of scolding him. Whereas she has spent years in the spotlight, negotiating the paparazzi, her children are only now learning how to navigate their way past it.

9. Social Media Pulls Receipts of Jeannie Mai Saying Black Men Are Sidepieces
Rapper Jeezy recently filed divorce papers and Social media’s memory is as long as God’s back and peeps came with the receipts to remind errybody that Jeannie Mai Jenkins once considered white meat as keeping her “mean and lean” and dark meat as something to fry it, dye it, and lay it to the side. Rapper Jeezy recently filed divorce papers and while Jeannie denied that is what she meant as a host on “The Real,” social media ruled that’s exactly what she meant. “She definitely did say that. And she meant just that. Now she got a black child. When will black men learn how powerful their seed is. I’m not against interracial marriages or procreation but when this is said on national TV proudly amongst black women WHY on earth would you give this type of mindset a black child to raise !?,” said one person. Check the actual clip on YouTube, just in case IG cuts out the audio.
10. Diddy Had to Chin-Check DJ Envy On ‘Breakfast Club’
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs had to chin-check DJ Envy after he asked an intrusive question about Yung Miami being pregnant. Diddy retorted and asked how Envy could ask that question but remained tight-lipped, even defensive if anyone mentioned his wife. Oooh, Diddy saw that Tyrese interview. Envy told Diddy to feel free to inquire about his marriage, but Puff, Puffy, or Brother Love, no, Love said he’s not interested in another man’s relationship. But in the end, Diddy said he was messing with the “Breakfast Club” host. Hmm, there’s always some truth in a little jokey joke.
11. Irish Grinstead Member of R&B Girl Group 702 Passes Away At 43
*Unfortunately, we have sad news to report. Irish Grinstead, best known as a member of girl group 702, has died. She was 43.
The news of her passing was made via an announcement on Instagram by her sister Lemisha Grinstead, who’s also a member of the group.
“It is with great sadness that I have to let you know that my beautiful sister and friend has passed away this evening,” she wrote. “She has had a long battle and she is finally at peace,” Lemisha continued.
“We, the family ask for prayers and respect for our privacy as we grieve an outstanding loss to our family,” Lemisha concluded the post.
A cause of death wasn’t immediately specified, however back in 2022 the group’s official Instagram account announced that Irish would be taking a step back from the group due to “serious medical issues.”
Tragically, Irish’s twin sister and founding 702 member – Orish Grinstead – died of kidney failure in 2008 when she was only 27.
