Nelly Defends Ashanti

Nelly has clapped back at fans wanting to run their mouth on his growing family with Ashanti. 

The rapper had a run-in with a fan online who decided to say their piece on Nelly and Ashanti’s relationship as they expected their first child together.

Fan’s Bold Statement

The fan stated that their family couldn’t be called the Haynes family. 

They noted that the couple weren’t married.

So instead, they should include both Nelly and Ashanti’s last names and be known as the Haynes-Douglas family. 

The fan went on to say that they knew that others would be mad at their take. 

But they went on to say that fans should actually be mad at Nelly for not marrying Ashanti after all this time and giving her his last name. 

Nelly Responds To Fan’s Absurd Comment 

While the commenter seemed prepared for other fans to respond, they couldn’t have expected Nelly himself to jump on to reply. 

In the comment section, the rapper himself chimed in to write: “umm it’s definitely the Haynes family, lol.”

Nelly wasted no time in setting the record straight then. 

The original post featured a photo of the happy couple smiling and Ashanti’s baby bump on full display. 

Fans were delighted to see Nelly arrive to put the commenter in their place. 

However, the naysayer must feel even more foolish now after the recent incredible news that Nelly was really speaking the truth when he said that it’s definitely the Haynes family. 

When Did Nelly And Ashanti Get Married?

In the last few days, it’s been revealed that Ashanti and Nelly have actually been married for a while. 

Reports have confirmed that they secretly tied the knot around 6 months ago and kept the news from fans. 

Public records show that they wed on December 27, 2023.

Since then, they have been fooling everyone with a complicated ruse to keep us all guessing. 

How Nelly Proposed To Ashanti 

In April, they announced that they were getting engaged.

Ashanti told Entertainment Tonight about the incredibly casual way Nelly allegedly popped the question. 

According to Ashanti, it was a beautiful intimate moment far from prying eyes. 

They were not at all dressy – in fact, they were both lying in bed in their pajamas watching TV when Nelly asked her to marry him. 

The singer then shared her reaction, saying, “I cried. I gave him the biggest hug and kiss ever. I FaceTimed everyone I know.”

She went on to say that she was overjoyed, surprised, and happy all at once.

Although it’s now been reported that they’re already married, it seems they still plan to have a big formal ceremony at some point in the future. 

Ashanti confirmed that their baby will be born before their wedding. 

Ashanti Didn’t Expect Fairy Tale Ending With Nelly 

After such a long and up-and-down relationship across a couple of decades, for Nelly and Ashanti to finally be married with a kid on the way is every fan’s wish come true.

Even Ashanti herself admitted that she never thought this would be how their story went.

She told ET that she didn’t think in a million years that they would get to this point. 

After they broke up over ten years ago, the singer thought that they might never even have a conversation again.

How and When Nelly And Ashanti Reunited 

She was ready to shut Nelly out of her life, which she in fact did for a long time, before they were famously reunited at a Verzuz battle in 2021.

When Fat Joe and Ja Rule faced off on the Comedy Central show, both Nelly and Ashanti were in the studio. 

In a moment that has since gone viral, Nelly crossed the stage to give Ashanti a hug in their first reunion since splitting up. 

Since then, Nelly and Ashanti’s renewed relationship has evolved really fast. 

Nelly And Ashanti Are Inseparable

The following year, Ashanti let us know that they were in a much better place during an interview.

Soon, they were spotted out and about together on several occasions.

And it wasn’t long before they went public, saying that they had gotten back together.

Nelly admitted on Philo TV’s Boss Moves that they were both actually surprised by the fact that they had become part of each other’s lives again.

Despite the fact that it wasn’t planned, they agreed that going their separate ways helped them to understand each other more.

And although they have both grown older and wiser, it looks like they are having more fun than ever.

Ashanti’s Surprise Birthday Party For Nelly 

A few months before their secret marriage, Ashanti celebrated Nelly’s birthday in style. 

The couple hosted a costume party on October 31, two days before the rapper’s actual birthday.

The Halloween birthday party was reportedly army-themed, with both Nelly and Ashanti decked out in military-style outfits for the day.

Ashanti Gifted Nelly With Customized Convertible Chevrolet Impala

As the festivities got into full swing, Ashanti presented Nelly with a car.

To be specific, she bought him what appeared to be a customized convertible Chevrolet Impala.

The car first rolled off the production line all the way back in 1964.

And from what we could tell, Nelly was amazed by the gift.

A video was soon shared on Instagram of Nelly grinning from ear to ear as he sat behind the wheel for the first time.

Fittingly, his hit song Ride Wit Me played in the background.

The reason the track was so perfect was also the reason why Ashanti’s gift was extra thoughtful.

As reported by Complex Magazine, this was the car that Nelly was actually referring to in that very song.

The track referred to Nelly’s love of 64 Impalas.

More specifically, he rapped about the iconic lowrider version of the vehicle.

Nelly And Ashanti’s Strong Bond 

Which just goes to show how strong Ashanti and Nelly’s bond has become over the many years of their rollercoaster relationship.

The couple have been very public about getting back together for almost a year now.

Both artists have shared videos with their online followings of their PDA.

And they have appeared to be delighted at being in each other’s company once again.

Why Nelly And Ashanti Kept Marriage A Secret

But although we all thought the happy couple were sharing everything about their lives with us, it turns out that they were hiding important details all along. 

It’s not known why they decided to get married in secret, or how they managed to keep quiet about it for so long. 

But it helps to explain Nelly’s confident reaction to the critical fan who didn’t realize that they really were the Haynes family now. 

When Ashanti’s Pregnancy Rumors Began 

However, Nelly and Ashanti haven’t been great at keeping other important milestones a secret. 

In a moment that has since gone viral, Nelly and Ashanti were performing on stage in December of last year when Nelly dropped a major hint about Ashanti’s pregnancy. 

He was seen rubbing her belly during their show in a clear sign that fans couldn’t help but notice. 

But what was crazy about it was that at the time, the couple weren’t even sure they were pregnant. 

Ashanti told ET that she hadn’t even taken a test before Nelly rubbed her belly in front of the world. 

How Nelly Responded When Ashanti Confirmed She Was Pregnant 

She went on to reveal that when she did find out, she FaceTimed Nelly to share the news of her pregnancy with him. 

And his reaction caught her off guard.

She said that while she was so excited she couldn’t wait to get it out, she said, “He was just like, ‘I knew.’”

However, she added that they were both so happy to find out. 

And from what fans can tell, the couple have been nothing but happy ever since getting back together.

C-Murder’s Mistress Speaks Out On Monica

Remember C-Murder, the No Limit Records artist serving a life sentence? He’s got himself caught up in a love triangle. C-Murder, under his gentler-sounding given name, Corey Miller, was sent down in 2002.

Two Women Claim C-Murder As Their Man 

Recently, two women hopped on social media to claim him. One declared herself his current girlfriend. The other was R&B singer Monica, a former flame. It was enough to start fans speculating, wondering what was going on.

Miller’s been behind bars since 2009. He’d shot and killed a sixteen year old, Steve Thomas, in a nightclub. Miller has always maintained his innocence despite losing in his attempts to overturn his conviction.

‘Boy is Mine’ Monica has been vocal in supporting his release. It was a public gesture, and it didn’t go unnoticed. Instead, it ignited rumor and gossip that eventually reached the Instagram ears of a mystery woman, @sheflysplanes. She challenged the extent of 43-year-old Monica’s impact on the imprisoned Rapper’s life and affections.

The alleged girlfriend was not one bit happy and made some pretty bold claims about her relationship with Miller in a flurry of posts. By then, Monica had been busily supporting her friend for quite a few days. She had consulted with a lawyer, K. Kardashian of Kardashian, Jenner & West. It was on TV. 

Monica had been drumming up support for Miller on Instagram, too, and just as the public was getting their collective heads around the idea of the pair as a couple again after 20 years or so, the angry flying lady cuts in with photos as proof. So now, there’s no doubt. @sheflysplanes is definitely Miller’s true partner.

C-Murder’s Mistress Calls Out Monica

She was quick to call him out on social media. ‘Monica who?!’ yelled the caption, and there were others like it, declaring she hadn’t missed a weekend, a call or a payment.  She’d even moved home to be closer to her man in Angola prison.

Monica, unable to resist the opportunity to explain, reminded all she’d been supporting her ex for years. She sported her favorite ‘Free Corey Miller’ t-shirt on social media as proof, but, alas, too late, @sheflysplanes was hot on her tail, accusing her of having ulterior motives. She wrote, ‘We all have a story and he will always be a part of mine’. Perhaps Monica thinks that too.

C-Murder’s Brother, Master P, Steps In

Anyway, this true life love story gets gritter because Corey’s brother, hip hop mogul Master P, gets himself involved. He publicly questions Monica’s sudden interest just as @sheflysplanes set to call out rapper Future, claiming he’s in on the situation. Even Miller himself is on social media, but gushing praise on his ‘angels’, Monica and Kim. He said nothing about @sheflysplanes, and that’s leaving fans and observers with many unanswered questions.

Monica, once so vocal, hasn’t responded to the accusation made against her and she still advocates for Miller’s release. However, her silence on the issue invites further speculation.

Back in the real world, Miller’s lawyers are hoping the interest in Miller’s love life from behind bars will raise awareness of his plight, helping their cause, rather than hindering it.

Jelly Roll Broke Promise to His Wife

Jelly Roll’s fans and critics have different opinions on his so-called “open marriage” with his wife, Bunnie XO. He spilled all the tea in the most shocking, eye-opening interview yet with Evan Paul on Taste of Country Nights. This episode was so dramatic and adult-oriented that Evan had to give a disclaimer about language and mature themes!

In a voiceover, after the interview with Jelly Roll started, Evan said that Jelly Roll “was willing to talk about everything.” He added, “I tell you, few artists [are] this honest.” But if Jelly Roll is that honest, why did he allegedly break a promise to Bunnie?

RELATED: Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO Baby News

Before Jelly Roll dropped the bombshell on his broken promise, he revealed intimate details about a recent sad family moment. Billboard reported that Bunnie revealed on May 8th that her dad, Bill, had passed away. Bill had been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer a couple of years ago, and Bunnie described the shock of finding out her parent was fatally ill.

She wrote this post the day after she found out about Bill’s fatal illness. Bunnie revealed, “I received one of the worst calls yesterday that shook me to my core.” Bunnie could not believe that Bill had been “silently battling Stage 4 cancer for the past year.

Bill Was Moved to Hospice Care in 2023

The only other person who knew was his wife, Bunnie’s stepmother. Bill sounded like a stubborn guy. Bunnie confirmed that he had “insisted” that no one else find out he had cancer because he wanted “to try to heal it himself” with holistic remedies.

By the time Bunnie learned how bad it was, the cancer had spread to Bill’s bone marrow. Bunnie said that her dad’s “bones [were] breaking.” She also revealed another heartbreaking detail.

RELATED: Bunnie Speaks Out on Jelly Roll

Bunnie described how Bill couldn’t “lift his arms” or walk. He could “barely eat,” and he was “in so much pain” that she couldn’t “even hug him.”

Bunnie and Jelly Roll weren’t having her dad spend his last months alive in such a terrible condition. She was able to get him out of his house into “hospice care in late 2023,” according to Billboard, and Bill continued to fight.

Bill was healthy enough for a few months to undergo operations to make him more comfortable. Billboard reported, “he underwent his second hip replacement surgery” in February 2024.

Bunnie Is Doing Better

Jelly Roll’s interview with Evan was posted on May 24th. Evan asked, “How are you and your wife doing after Bill passed?”

Before Jelly Roll answered, he revealed how much that question meant to him. Jelly Roll told Evan, “I thank you for asking first.” Evan was “the first person to ask” about Bill, even though Jelly Roll had done “two days of media” interviews before their conversation.

As Taste of Country reported, “Jelly Roll’s wife is hurting.” Although, Jelly Roll told Evan there was light coming through the darkness.

Jelly Roll confirmed that Bunnie was “doing better,” but she was still hurting. He also made a deeply personal revelation about Bunnie and Bill’s history.

He told Evan that Bunnie and Bill “didn’t have the best relationship throughout her whole life” and “they really didn’t start getting too cool” until Bunnie “was in her 30s.” Shockingly, life was never perfect for Bunnie and her dad.

Jelly Roll added that Bunnie and Bill’s relationship continued to be “very tumultuous.” He compared Bill’s passing to “a sad ending to a book that already wasn’t incredible.”

Yet, Jelly Roll said that his wife “is holding her head up fine.” He confessed, “I love Bill,” and “rest his soul.”

Bunnie Had to Grieve Alone

Evan asked Jelly Roll a pointed question, and for a moment, we wondered if that’s when Jelly Roll was going to drop the bombshell about his broken promise to Bunnie. Evan asked, “Is it hard for you to be present when your family needs you because you’re so busy right now?”

As usual, Jelly Roll was brutally honest. He confessed, “You know, I felt so bad my wife was having to grieve alone.”

Jelly Roll called his massive success “this thing,” saying, “It’s just hard” to stop it when it gets going. But he did reassure Evan.

Jelly Roll said he and his family “spend a lot of time together.” He was planning to take them “out of town” that week, hopefully for a much-needed break.

Next, Evan got into the ACM Awards with Jelly Roll. At this year’s ACMs, Jelly Roll brought the house down with his performance of “Liar.” Is the name of that song a theme, and does it have anything to do with Jelly Roll’s broken promise?

Evan asked if the sound of “Liar” is where Jelly Roll’s “new music is headed?” Jelly Roll said, “A little bit,” but he was still “all over the place.”

Evan’s next question was, “So, what are we going to learn about you in your upcoming music that we don’t already know?”

Jelly confessed, “There’s a lot of storytelling” on his new album, and he added that he has “never been more inspired” to write new music.

Jelly Roll Exposed His Sobriety Journey

Evan also wanted to know about Jelly Roll’s public health journey in 2024. Jelly Roll made some shocking confessions about “what keeps him sober.”

Jelly Roll claimed that he doesn’t indulge in adult beverages as much as he used to, but he also revealed something that he says “gets [him] in trouble… all the time.”

The issue is Jelly Roll’s “stance” on legal substances like CBD and THC. He understands that some people in recovery refuse to take any substances because they think it will set them back down a dangerous path. For Jelly Roll, the reality is different.

He told Evan that his “stance… will always be the same.” He believes that some legal substances have helped him with his “anxiety” and also helped keep him “sober.”

After Evan and Jelly Roll joked about “whose DMs are worse” on social media, Jelly Roll dove into a personal topic and, as Taste of Country put it, the promise to his wife that Jelly Roll “struggled” with.

Jelly Roll eased into this conversation by confessing that he and Bunnie “don’t live in that world of unnecessary jealousy.” Of course, he was referring to his and Bunnie’s so-called “open relationship.”

Jelly Roll Revealed His Broken Promise

Jelly Roll sweetly revealed, “I love her, she loves me, I know that’s my person.” Then, he brought up a recent incident that created a lot of negative feedback for Bunnie online.

The incident was Bunnie calling “metalcore artist” Chris Motionless her “hall pass.” Even though Jelly Roll thought it was “so funny,” he realized it turned into a big bad thing for Bunnie. Then, he dropped a bombshell on Evan, which might be a new confession from Jelly Roll.

Jelly Roll explained to Evan that he’s got two best friends. Of course, Bunnie is one of them. The other guy is someone Jelly Roll has known for “20-some years,” a fellow rapper from Tennessee named Struggle Jennings.

It’s great to have two best friends in life, but Jelly Roll shockingly admitted he had a “problem” once, making him reconsider if Bunnie was indeed a “best friend.”

Jelly Roll revealed he was “talking to my wife, and I was afraid to say something to her.” He truly believed that he was breaking a promise to Bunnie because Jelly Roll knew he would have no problem talking about this with his other best friend, Struggle.

This problem was so serious for Jelly Roll that he thought, “Is that really my best friend?” The problem for Jelly Roll was admitting to his wife, one of his best friends, that he found other women attractive.

He explained to Evan, “If me and Struggle see a pretty girl, we would acknowledge it as two men” saying, “That girl’s beautiful.” It got complicated for Jelly Roll to be as open with Bunnie, so he made a shocking decision.

Jelly Roll told Evan that he now does the “same thing” with Bunnie. Ever since, they have been “truly best friends” and husband and wife. 

He explained to Evan, “She’s going to find other men attractive… I’m going to find women attractive.” Jelly Roll believes that their “honesty and vulnerability” make their marriage special and “cool.”

Jelly Roll Speaks Out About Post Malone

It’s getting more popular for music superstars like Beyonce to do crossovers into other genres. Post Malone is officially “going country,” and Jelly Roll is speaking out about it.

Taste of Country published an exclusive on June 6th. Taste of Country’s Evan Paul wrote, “Country music is one of the hottest genres,” and “it’s no surprise” that other artists “are wanting a bite of the action.” Evan mentioned Post Malone and added that he’d recently spoken to Jelly Roll “and got his take on Posty diving into the genre.”

Jelly Roll and Evan did a shocking interview for Taste of Country Nights On Demand. One of the topics of conversation was Post Malone’s country crossover.

Evan thought it was natural to ask Jelly Roll about this since he described Jelly Roll as a “rapper/singer before busting the doors of country music down.” That might be true, but it doesn’t necessarily mean Jelly Roll is a fan of Post Malone stepping into country music. Evan warned readers about this when he wrote that Jelly Roll “unloaded the tea” when asked about “Posty.”

Jelly Roll discussed whether “Post… is true to country music.” Then Jelly Roll brought up an interview that Post Malone did 

Jelly Roll said he heard Post Malone say in that interview, “10 years from now, I’m going country.” It hasn’t quite been ten years, so does Jelly Roll have a problem with it?

The Taste of Country article confirmed a couple of surprising things. Not only does Jelly Roll love Post Malone, but Jelly Roll also threw shade at big-time country stars during his interview with Evan.

Post Malone Has a Heart of Country Music

When it comes to Post Malone “busting the doors of country music down,” Jelly Roll truly believes that country music is in Post’s “heart.” He also gave Evan proof.

Jelly Roll said, “We all forget that Post Malone broke on YouTube singing Bob Dylan songs.” Then, Jelly Roll revealed a personal connection.

He told Evan that Post is “just making it to where his heart is.” He confessed, “I’ve hung out with that guy, he’s one of the best dudes on Earth.” Jelly Roll also described Post as “the sweetest soul.”

Before you think that Jelly Roll and Evan’s conversation about Post and country music was all positive and glowing, Evan dropped a bombshell about Jelly Roll throwing shade at other country music superstars. Jelly Roll made this diss during his conversation about Post Malone. He told Evan that Post “knows more about country music than guys in this town that have 10 number ones.”

Evan sounded shocked by Jelly Roll’s diss, especially since Jelly Roll is loved by everyone else in country music. He’s not about the negativity. Still, Jelly Roll had a point to make.

Evan wrote that Jelly Roll even “doubled down” on the shocking diss he made. You won’t believe what else Jelly Roll said. He added that some “guys in this town” with “10 number ones on country radio” have nothing on Post Malone’s knowledge of country music.

Jelly Roll claimed that if you put these guys “with Post Malone in a room together, right now,” Post would know more about one country song after the other. He shockingly told Evan, “I’d say seven artists that have had 10 number ones in this town” aren’t half the country artist that Post Malone will probably be.

Jelly Roll Teased a Post Malone Collab

If you’re wondering who Jelly Roll was talking about, he already knew you were. Shockingly, he asked Evan, “Want me to name a couple?”

Evan wrote, “I eagerly said ‘yeah,’” even though Evan said he knew that Jelly Roll wouldn’t name names. He wrote, “Jelly Roll belly-laughed,” and told Evan, “Just kidding.” 

Evan ended the article with a question. Would country music ever see a “Jelly Roll and Post Malone collaboration?” He answered, “Only time will tell.”

Audacy also reported on June 6th that Jelly Roll had appeared on Katie and Company’s Superstar Power Hour. The article said that Jelly Roll had weighed in on “Post Malone’s Country Era.”

Once again, Jelly Roll complimented Post’s crossover in country music, saying, “His heart is here,” and “He’s been wanting to do this forever.” Then, Jelly Roll told Katie Neal something else.

He feels that Post’s crossover wasn’t because “Country is hot right now.” Jelly Roll mentioned what he’d also told Evan, which is Post has been “talking about” doing country music “in interviews forever.”

Jelly Roll even made a shocking prediction about Post’s future in music. He told Katie, “I think they’re going to have a struggle to get [Post] to do a record that’s not Country again.” 

Post Malone Is “the Nicest Guy in Country Music”

The Audacy article did try to create some drama when they wrote that Jelly Roll “recognizes Posty creates more of a fight for him on the charts.” However, during his interview with Katie, Jelly Roll didn’t seem too concerned about competing with Post. Shockingly, Jelly Roll even joked about Post stealing Jelly Roll’s current title as “the nicest guy in Country music.”

Jelly Roll told Katie, “I thought I was one of the nicest guys in Country music.” Then he said, “I met Luke Bryan, and I was like, I’m an a**.” But after he met Post, Jelly Roll thought, “I’m just plain rude!”

Of course, he was just joking. But, he got more serious with Katie when he dropped details about his upcoming music.

He told Katie, “I think we’ll be coming out [with new music] around fall.” Audacy wrote that Jelly Roll revealed more about his “new project” that is between “85-95% done.”

Jelly Roll admitted that writing his new music was “cool” because he’s “in a different headspace” now. He explained that for most of his life, it felt like he was going through extreme darkness and even “hopelessness.” Although he still writes from that dark place, he’s now thinking more about how his music can help people out of the darkness.

Jelly Roll also showed us where his true heart is in country music when he revealed to Katie, “I didn’t write any song on this [new] album to try to be a hit.” Jelly Roll added, “I wrote every song to be impactful.”

Post Announced His Genre Shift on Twitch

Taste of Country knew as far back as November 2023 that Post Malone’s country record was “coming.” They wrote, “Post Malone has confirmed his country album is in the works,” and he picked an interesting time to drop that bombshell.

Taste of Country reported that Post did a “Twitch live stream on his channel.” “The rapper was asked in the chat a few times about his venture” into country music.

RELATED: Jelly Roll Gets Emotional at the CMAs

Post Malone was juggling live gaming with fan questions on the live stream, and Taste of Country wrote that he made his big reveal “in between rounds of playing the game Apex Legends.” 

Post confirmed, “Country record is coming,” and then he shared a tidbit about his new music. He confessed during the live stream, “I keep singing a song that we made while I was in Nashville… but it’s not out” yet.

Post Malone Has Been Recording in Nashville

Taste of Country also reported that Post Malone “is working on two albums at the moment.” They didn’t get any confirmation “if both of the projects are country-related,” but Post Malone did drop one more hint.

On his livestream, Post said, “We made such sick music down in Nashville.” He added, “It was… so much fun.”

Taste of Country put two-and-two together last November. They wrote, “This means that the photos showing [Post] Malone in [the] studio with artists including Morgan Wallen, Ernest, and Brad Paisley” must be “related to his forthcoming country project.”

If you haven’t seen these photos from Post’s Nashville recording session, Taste of Country explained, “the photos started popping up on social media” just days before Post performed at last year’s CMAs with Morgan and HARDY. 

As Taste of Country reported, Post is already a part of country music. He appeared on HARDY’s recent release, Hixtape Vol. 3: Difftape, a tribute album released this past March in honor of the late, great Joe Diffie. 

Taste of Country wrote that Post “has already released” the duet of “Pickup Man” with Joe following Joe’s passing. Post’s “new version” of Joe’s hit song entered the country music charts on November 18, 2023, debuting at No. 56.

Uber Driver Slams HARDY

HARDY has faced plenty of speculation this year over his marriage and mental health. He’s also thrown shade at bonafide superstars like Texas-born rodeo girl Beyonce for entering the country music ring.

But now, HARDY is getting slammed for the other shocking things he’s allegedly done. It all started with an “unverified tea” thread on the Celeb Wives of Nashville. The OP posted a screenshot of a viral TikTok video by a young woman named Shelby, who was responding to a social media trend to reveal “a time when a celebrity was rude to you.” 

@shelby_north

#stitch with @tristanstone74 it was a heart breaking day for country fans :-(

♬ Monkeys Spinning Monkeys – Kevin MacLeod & Kevin The Monkey

That got the Celeb Wives talking. Some users on the Reddit forum alleged that HARDY had treated real people, like Uber drivers, badly. These accusations are shocking, but let’s start with Shelby’s rude celebrity encounter.

There is one disclaimer on this video trend that you need to know. The name of the allegedly rude celebrity isn’t revealed.

Still, over 1,600 people commented, and many wanted to know if the rude celebrity was HARDY. If that’s not bad enough, HARDY might not want to read what many other people had to say about him.

Shelby Did Not Directly Name HARDY

The truth is many people didn’t even know who HARDY was. Some also dissed HARDY because they think he’s not really Country. Considering how he’s thrown shade at Beyonce’s massive Country-Western success, this would bug HARDY.

Shelby’s experience with this “rude celebrity” seems to have left its mark. She gets emotional as she recalls what happened.

RELATED: Hardy Exposes KT Smith

Shelby begins by revealing her rude celebrity encounter “might really hurt true Country fans.” Although she never named names, Shelby got super specific with the burning hot tea she spilled. If this rude celebrity is HARDY, you won’t believe what happened.

Shelby was with her friends at a Country concert in “Lexington,” but she didn’t reveal which state. Several towns and cities nationwide are called Lexington, but Lexington, Kentucky, is the largest and best-known.

She dropped a few hints in the video, like how this rude celebrity “was opening up for someone” and that “it was a really good show.” Shelby confessed, “We loved it.”

Shelby Enjoyed HARDY’s Performance

After the concert, she said she went to a local bar with her friends. Other friends of Shelby’s work at the bar, and the employees allowed Shelby’s group to stay on “a little bit after closing.” She saw another “big group of people coming in.”

Shelby figured it was a group of around “15-20 people,” and this small crowd was “gathering around this one person.” Shelby even noticed other “people following around outside,” but anyone who wasn’t directly with that “one person” wasn’t allowed to enter the bar.

She watched this small crowd with interest. Shelby thought, “I wonder if that’s the guy” she saw in concert opening up for a bigger Country superstar.

Even after this celebrity was rude to her, Shelby didn’t sound like she was throwing shade. But, she did admit another clue about him. She said, “He’s not like crazy big.”

Then, she admitted, “But he’s really, really good.” Shelby seriously believed that people watching should “know who he is.”

That night, Shelby wanted to know if the guy was, in fact, the opening act she’d seen. So, she approached the group.

She said, “I just walked by them,” and she was going to ask one of their “friends” if it was him. Shelby admitted that if it was, she just wanted to say that he “did really, really great tonight.” But shockingly, she didn’t get the chance. 

HARDY and His Friends Ruined Shelby’s Night

Shelby accused the “friend” of losing his mind and telling her rudely, “You need to get away from us right now.” Then, “the actual guy” got involved, and what allegedly happened next was crazy.

According to Shelby, the guy “made a scene about it too.” He rudely told her, “We don’t need to answer your questions,” when all she wanted to do was compliment him on doing a “good job” at the concert that night.

Again, we don’t even know if this is the real truth about HARDY. Still, Shelby revealed that the rude celebrity and his friends ruined her night.

RELATED: Hardy and Caleigh Ryan Marriage Update

Shelby also dropped a bombshell about this rude celebrity’s personal life. This part of the story happened when she was leaving the bar with her friends. She was shocked at what she saw “out in front.”

The other group left before Shelby and her friends, and that’s when she claims she noticed something suspicious about the rude celebrity. Allegedly, he “had his arms around” someone. Shelby even looked him up afterward to make sure he was married because she was “almost positive” that the person with him was “not his wife.”

Shelby provided a dramatic example of a rude celebrity encounter. But remember, she didn’t name HARDY directly or accuse him of this extreme rudeness and maybe even cheating.

More People Have Exposed HARDY’s Behavior

Now, back to the Celeb Wives of Nashville “unverified tea” thread because they didn’t hold back on HARDY’s allegedly terrible behavior. One user explained that their husband was HARDY’s “Uber driver a few years back” before HARDY “hit it really big.”

The husband “has a slight speech impediment,” and if you’re not already cringing at where this story is going, you’ll be shocked by the alleged cruelty. The user accused HARDY and his friend of mocking the husband’s speech impediment simply because the Uber driver “didn’t know” who HARDY was.

It’s heartbreaking to read the user’s confession that their husband “is the sweetest person.” What HARDY allegedly did “upset” him and left a mark. The user even claimed their husband was “sweet enough to make an excuse” for HARDY’s alleged behavior.

They wrote that their husband could tell HARDY had been drinking. The driver tried to write off the alleged cruelty because, maybe, HARDY had had too much to drink to realize what he was doing. 

Maybe that’s true, but the user also wrote what HARDY did to their husband when he left the Uber. They alleged that HARDY told their husband his “tip” would be looking HARDY “up on the highway.” If this is the real truth, it’s pretty close to unforgivable.

HARDY Has a History of Being Unfriendly

There was some back-and-forth on this thread. A couple of people claimed that HARDY was “super thoughtful,” “really down to earth,” and gracious when they met him after his concerts. Maybe HARDY was too intoxicated in that Uber, enough for him to lose his manners and act like a complete jerk.

Unfortunately, another user had an opinion, although they admitted they’d never “personally” met HARDY. This user claims they’ve heard “3 stories from 3 totally different people,” and HARDY has acted “unfriendly and rude” each time.

Another person accused HARDY of being “rude” and “snobby.” This commenter claimed to have inside information dating back to 2019.

They wrote that they “met HARDY at a benefit concert” at their “local radio station,” and added that they’d “asked him for a guitar pick” when a group photo was being taken. Allegedly, HARDY said they had “to come to a show” to get one of his guitar picks. After this rude encounter, the user was “no longer a fan for quite a while now.”

HARDY Is Unfazed by the Hate

This past April, 97.3 The Eagle published an article about HARDY. Depending on who you believe or how forgiving you are, this article may give you a new perspective on HARDY or at least make you think karma is real!

The title of The Eagle’s article was: “Hardy Takes on Mean DMs: Country Star Reads Harsh Messages in Candid Video.” That’s right, HARDY decided to do a low-tech version of the popular “Mean Tweets” sketches on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The Eagle wrote that HARDY selected a DM and read it out loud. You’ll either feel sorry for HARDY or think the guy had it coming when you hear this message.

In the DM, one harsh person told HARDY he was “fat” and “ugly.” Then, their negativity turned to HARDY’s music. They wrote that HARDY’s song ‘Truck Bed’ “might be the worst song I’ve ever heard in my entire life.”

So, how did HARDY handle this major chunk of shade? According to The Eagle, HARDY took the comment “in stride.” Maybe he got a taste of his own medicine if all these shocking allegations about HARDY are the real truth.

Why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Hide Their Children

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are no strangers to the public eye. Even after breaking away from the Royal Family and moving to the United States, they have continued to attend public engagements and promote their own projects.

Fans of the couple and Royal Watchers have questions about their children Archie and Lilibet, though. Why do the two put themselves in the public eye but not their children? Why hide their children away when Prince William’s children are shown everywhere?

Why Does Harry And Meghan Hide Their Children? 

The Daily Beast reported that the decision to hide their children was a personal one for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. They want their children to consent to having their photos shared publicly, and they can’t do that at the ages they are. It’s possible that the two will keep Archie and Lilibet out of the public eye for as long as possible, even until they are old enough to consent.

They are not the only celebrity couple to choose to do this. Kristen Bell and Dax Shepherd, Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, and Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have all limited the amount that the press will see of their children. Some names weren’t even shared to the public for the longest time! Just because the parents want to be involved in showbusiness doesn’t mean the children want to.

Prince William and his wife Catherine don’t have the luxury of full privacy, but they are careful with the shots provided to the public. They will create crafted shots or the images will be at public engagements. Otherwise, even their children are kept out of the public eye as much as possible.

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Are Protective Of Childrens’ Privacy

Prince Harry reportedly hated giving the UK media access to Archie, according to Marie Claire. He did it purely because it was expected of him as a working royal, but he has had grown up with negative experiences of a lack of privacy as the son of the heir to the throne. As soon as he moved to the United States, he gained more control.

Many people blast Prince Harry and Meghan for leaving the UK to gain more privacy and then being in the public eye themselves. It wasn’t about them, though. It was always about their children, and the couple has gone on to sue many people who have shared photos of their children. They haven’t always won those suits, but it shows that they are willing to protect their children’s privacy.

There is also the safety aspect. The couple is looking at expensive private schools in Montecito to send their children to, for both safety and education reasons. The decision to keep them out of the public eye also makes it harder for the public to know they’re looking at Archie and Lilibet, meaning the two are less at risk of abduction.

Are Prince Harry And Meghan Trying To Monetize Their Children? 

Brittney from Royal News Network on YouTube suggests that it’s possible Markle wants to monetize the kids, and hiding them away is a chance to do that. The couple has a reality TV series coming up, which is likely to feature the children. With not seeing the children so much, Brittney theorizes that Prince Harry and Meghan think that they’ll get more viewers because of the promise of snapshots of their children.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have certainly led to the public questioning one thing with their decision. Do the children even exist?

Iman Shumpert Wants More Money From Teyana Taylor

Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor‘s whirlwind romance has taken a not-so-pleasant turn. The most current drama? Iman Shumpert said that he wants back everything he ever gave Teyana Taylor while they were dating. You read that right. 

From expensive presents to luxury goods, Iman is allegedly out to get everything back, including the condo he so kindly gave her. There is a whole new meaning to the word “un-gifting,” and opinions are flying across the internet.

Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor Were Once Couple Goals 

Couple goals were initially abound with Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor. Glamorous events, exquisite presents, and some paparazzi-snapped PDA characterized their love story. Iman didn’t skimp on Teyana’s lavish gifts, which included designer purses and pricey jewelry. They were the couple everyone aspired to be. But not all was well.

As they say, though, not everything that glitters is gold. The formerly idyllic relationship began to exhibit symptoms of problems. Rumors of adultery and mounting hostilities led the couple to split up. While splits are never pleasant, this one appears to be devolving into a full-fledged struggle over gifts and money.

Iman Wants Back Condo And Gifts  

Iman wants his condo that he gave Teyana back, and he’s been loud about it. “I’m un-gifting that condo,” Iman allegedly said, according to an exclusive story by The Jasmine Brand. A representation of their love and dedication, the condo is now the focal point of this story as it develops. It is a statement, a sumptuous piece of real estate that shouts, “We made it!” And now, it’s the center of their very public divorce.

It appears from reports that Iman is requesting the return of a number of gifts he gave to Teyana while they were together. Designer clothing, pricey jewelry, and even some sentimental objects that commemorated important events in their relationship are all on the list.

“Gimme my jewelry,” Iman allegedly said during a recent court hearing.

Iman and Teyana’s Story Continues to Unfold

Fans are left wondering what will happen to the estranged couple as this drama develops. Will Teyana accede to Iman’s requests or will this become a protracted judicial fight? The public is split; some applaud Iman’s right to take back his gifts, while others condemn him for attempting to return what was previously given out of love.

Legally speaking, returning presents during a divorce can become quite complex. Especially pricey gifts are frequently viewed as symbols of love, and ownership usually passes to the receiver when they are given. But should it end up in court, Iman’s decision to “un-gift” might establish a new standard. It begs the issues of what constitutes a gift in a relationship and what transpires when love soured.


The Iman and Teyana story is far from over, regardless of your position on the matter. Emotions are running high and the stakes are much higher, so this fight will probably keep going until the former couple settles out of court. Right now, everyone is focused on Teyana Taylor and how she will react to Iman Shumpert’s sudden and aggressive demands.

The Tragedy of Princess Diana’s Brother Charles Spencer

Recently, Princess Diana’s brother Charles Spencer revealed that he had been abused while he was a student at the prestigious boarding school, Maidwell Hall. On June 10th, police in Northamptonshire launched an investigation into the allegation.

Charles Spencer, who’s known as the 9th Earl Spencer, is the younger brother of Princess Diana, and attended Maidwell Hall in the 1970s. The school is only a short trip from his and Diana’s childhood home where they grew up.

Princess Diana’s Brother, Charles, Was Victim of Physical, Mental, and Sexual Abuse 

While he kept the abuse private for years, he finally revealed it all in March 2024 in his memoir “A Very Private School”. In the book, the claimed he was the victim of physical, mental, and sexual abuse at the hands of staff members. In total, Spencer spent 5 years attending the all-boys school.

As you could imagine, writing this part of the book was challenging. Even though Spencer thought he had dealt with this part of his past, talking to old classmates for the book and hearing their similar experiences was very triggering for him.

Once the book came out, the school itself released a statement that it had reported itself to a LADO (Local Authority Designated Officer) to ensure everything is taken seriously and handled professionally, and urged anyone else who suffered similar abuse to reach out to either the school or the police. The school also apologized and mentioned that nearly every part of the school has changed and evolved significantly since the 1970s.

Charles Spencer and Wife, Karen, Split

If having to relive these difficult memories wasn’t enough for Charles Spencer, he also is fresh off of announcing his split from his wife of 13 years, Karen Spencer. Karen Spencer (nee Gordon) is a Canadian philanthropist and entrepreneur. The pair initially met on a blind date in Los Angeles in 2010, and got married in June 2011.

They went on to have a daughter together who was born in 2012. Both also had been married previously, and had children from these past relationships. While it was only announced in June that the two were planning to get a divorce, they had been separated since back in April. 

In his announcement of the split, Charles Spencer said that it was immensely sad, and that he wants to devote himself to his children and grandchildren. He also wished Karen well. 

Is A Divorce On The Brink For Charles and Karen Spencer?

Reports say he hired the same divorce lawyer (Fiona Shackleton) who King Charles enlisted the help of when he divorced Princess Diana back in 1996. She’s also worked with the likes of Prince Andrew and Paul McCartney on their divorces in the past.

If the pair do end up officially splitting, this will be Charles Spencer’s 3rd divorce. He split from his first wife, Victoria Lockwood, in 1997 after less than a decade of marriage. They had four children together.

After that, he married Caroline Freud in 2001 and the couple had two children, but they decided to call it quits in 2007, a few years before he ended up meeting Karen.

Justin Timberlake’s Lawyer Breaks Silence

Justin Timberlake made headlines when he was arrested on grounds of driving while intoxicated. He spent a night in jail and was released the next day, according to CNN. But, was Justin really caught drunk driving or were the cops way out of line?

Justin’s lawyer, as reported by Billboard, seems to be leaning towards the latter option and has come forward to make his legal plans publicly known. 

Here are the details we could dig up on Justin’s DWI and his lawyer’s statements:

Legal Fighting Words 

    Justin’s lawyer, Edward Burke Jr., has released a public statement regarding his client’s legal case and seems confident that they will come out victorious in the end. Billboard reports that he said:

    “[We] look forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake against these allegations. He will have a lot to say at the appropriate time. He is currently awaiting full discovery from the DA’s office.”

    Justin’s unfortunate run-in with the law happened in a part of Long Island, New York known as Sag Harbor. He was arrested after leaving the American Hotel in that area. Although Justin did end up spending a night in jail in Sag Harbor, he was released without bail shortly thereafter, according to CNN.

    Although Justin’s lawyer is talking a big game right now, his future remains uncertain, given the charges he’s currently facing.

    Why Was Justin Timberlake Arrested? 

      Apparently, Justin’s driving got officers’ attention on a Monday night in Sag Harbor. Michael Arkinson, the police officer who filed a report on the incident included details about Justin’s eyes and behavior at the time. According to Billboard, the report contained the following:

      “[Justin] was observed operating a 2025 BMW southbound on Madison Street, failing to stop at a duly posted stop sign and failing to maintain his lane of travel. […]

      It was ascertained that the defendant was operating said vehicle in an intoxicated condition in that his eyes were bloodshot and glassy, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot, and he performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests.”

      CNN reported that Justin refused to complete a chemical test (breathalyzer) three times. When he failed the field sobriety tests he was given, he was taken to jail.

      Justin is Just Moving On

        Justin doesn’t seem to have been too upset about the incident and he continued his Forget Tomorrow world tour as soon as he could.

        He even took time to post a nice message for his kids on Father’s Day, according to CNN. It read:

        “My 2 greatest gifts. I learn more about myself everyday just because you both chose me to be your Daddy. I will always be there for you through your peaks and valleys… to lift you up and show you how high you can take this life and to pick you up when you fall. And, of course, to flood you with insufferable Dad-jokes all along the way. I love you both so much. Thank you for giving me my biggest purpose. Now… for today: let’s play a game where we all just chill and let Dad watch the final round of The US Open.”

        Dr. Dre’s Oldest Daughter, La Tanya, Exposes Father

        Dr. Dre is one of the most well-known and powerful people in the music industry. However, his eldest daughter regularly calls him out for being an absent father. Many people are familiar with Dre’s younger daughters with longtime wife Nicole. Now find out what life is like for his second child, La Tanya Young.

        Dr. Dre’s 8 Children

        Dr. Dre has eight children, including his first with Cassandra Green when he was just 16 years old. He did not have a relationship with his oldest child, Curtis, for 20 years. 

        His second child was daughter La Tanya, whom he had with Lisa Johnson in 1983. La Tanya has been a very vocal critic of her father and stated in past interviews that Dre lied to her and didn’t support her. Dr. Dre also had two more children with Lisa Johnson.

        Following his relationship with La Tanya, Dr. Dre had a son named Andre Young Jr. with Jenita Porter. She later sued Dre for child support. Dre’s sixth son, Marcel, was with fellow Ruthless singer Michel’le. Finally, his last two children were with his wife, Nicole Threatt. 

        Dr. Dre’s Daughter, La Tanya, Was Homeless

        Several years ago, La Tanya spoke out about her father and the level of interaction that she has with him. With eight kids, it’s going to be difficult to spend equal time with everyone, especially when they are with several different women. 

        However, La Tanya has been very outspoken about Dre’s absence, especially in her adult years. In 2021, she gained a lot of traction on social media after doing an interview with the Daily Mail. 

        In the interview, she explained that she was homeless and living in a rental car. Even worse, she was using the car for rideshare to make extra money, and she wasn’t going to be able to afford future rental payments. 

        It’s always sad to hear stories of people struggling, and it is far too common. What makes this whole thing absolutely ridiculous is that her father is a multi-millionaire and one of the wealthiest people in the music industry. That doesn’t mean he has to give all his money away, but most people help their children if they can afford it. 

        La Tanya Young Worked Multiple Jobs To Make Ends Meet 

        Additionally, La Tanya was clearly working at the time as she was working an assembly line at a warehouse and also driving for DoorDash and Uber Eats. However, the high cost of living in California meant she still couldn’t afford an apartment. She also said that the rental payment on the car was a whopping $2,300 for just three weeks, so it would be cheaper to actually get an apartment. 

        Fortunately, La Tanya said that her kids were safe and did not live in the car with her. She also said that she sometimes stayed with friends. 


        In Dre’s defense, La Tanya was 38 years old at the time of the interview and admitted to being underwater in debt. Additionally, Dre was going through a lot, including suffering a brain aneurysm earlier that same year. He also had to pay his ex-wife Nicole $300,000 in spousal support. So, it’s safe to say that he probably wasn’t in a very giving mood when La Tanya came looking for money.
