A-Rod Speaks Out About JLo’s Divorce

Jennifer Lopez’s ex, Alex Rodriguez, just broke his silence about her divorce from Ben Affleck. What did A-Rod mean to say with his mysterious post? And why didn’t he just speak out directly instead?

If you don’t know, A-Rod and JLo used to be a couple before she got together with Ben. Their history together is pretty dramatic, but not in the same way that the stories of exes usually are.

It’s not that the two of them aired out all of their dirty laundry publicly for everyone to see. No, they actually tried pretty hard to keep their private business private.

But the thing is, there wasn’t a very long time at all between JLo and A-Rod’s breakup and her getting together with Ben. There were only a couple of weeks in between during which JLo was single.

Obviously, they weren’t going to say anything like this officially. But, it almost looked like JLo might have left A-Rod for Ben. I mean, you couldn’t really blame him if he was a little salty about that, even now that it’s been a few years.

A-Rod Had Previously Remained Silent on the Situation

But so far, he hasn’t had too much to say about JLo’s latest divorce. He’s been pretty much completely silent on the topic, except for one thing and one thing only.

He posted a quote on his Instagram Stories on the very day that the news broke about JLo finally filing for divorce. It really seems like he was making a pointed comment about the situation.

I mean, he hasn’t said that the post was related to JLo’s divorce, but a lot of people think the timing made it pretty obvious. The quote he shared was actually pretty cryptic. It’s not entirely clear what A-Rod was actually trying to say with it. 

The quote reads: “You either go one way or the other. You might as well be the one deciding the direction.” This definitely seems to be a comment about JLo and Ben’s divorce. 

JLo Is Focused on Her Happiness

The quote is all about being at a crossroads in life and having to choose a way to go. This is kind of the situation that JLo was in, deciding whether or not she should file for divorce. In her case, she decided that she was going to take that step and leave the relationship with Ben. 

Even from the outside, it was obvious that she wasn’t very happy in the marriage. So, the decision she made was ultimately for her own happiness. Still, it must have been a pretty difficult one.

The thing is, JLo was definitely the one deciding the direction of her life from now on, just like the quote says, especially since she filed for divorce all on her own. She didn’t hire a lawyer to do it for her, which is what would be expected most of the time in this situation. 

JLo is very famous and definitely has the money to hire a lawyer, but she still decided not to go through one and do things personally. That was honestly a pretty amazing power move. 

A-Rod Is Actually JLo’s Ex-Fiance

I actually think A-Rod might have been trying to compliment JLo on making such a move, and that’s why he posted the quote. It would be a really nice and wholesome thing to do, especially considering their history together. 

JLo and A-Rod broke up back in 2021. But the thing is, their relationship was actually pretty serious. The two of them weren’t just dating, they were engaged. 

What’s worse, they had been for two whole years before they ultimately decided to end their relationship. Just a few weeks after that, JLo got together with Ben. 

So you can see how that situation would probably have been really upsetting to A-Rod. But, it all gets so much worse because JLo actually got back together with Ben. 

He was already one of her exes when she was with A-Rod. She had even been engaged to him. 

They were actually planning to get married back in 2003, but then they decided to call off the wedding and break up. Maybe they should have done that the second time around, too because it’s not like their marriage went very well at all. 

They were only married for about two years, and for a pretty big chunk of that, it was very obvious that things weren’t going great for them. The divorce has honestly been coming for a long time. It’s really more of a surprise that it has taken JLo this long to file for it. 

Maybe, at this point, A-Rod is just happy for her, that she was able to take a step out of a bad situation.

JLo Might Be Going Back to A-Rod

That’s obviously just one of the possible theories. There’s a whole other angle on things, and this one is nowhere near as wholesome. 

When the quote said “You either go one way or the other,” what A-Rod could’ve meant by that was Ben and himself. He might have been trying to say that JLo would either be with Ben or with him. 

That’s a way more toxic thing to say than a cryptic message of approval because that’s not how things work. JLo is her own person, and it’s not like she exists only to end up with one of these men. 

For A-Rod to practically say: “It’s either Ben or me and you might as well choose me,” would be extremely disrespectful. 

Obviously, there is no actual evidence that that’s what he meant to say. This is just one of the theories about what the quote could possibly mean.

Although, it would make at least a certain kind of sense. It definitely seemed like JLo left A-Rod for Ben. Now that she’s leaving Ben, A-Rod might be thinking that it’s time for her to go back to him. 

There is one reason why this is unlikely to be what he actually meant. As far as we know, A-Rod is actually in a relationship of his own. 

He’s dating Jaclyn Cordeiro, a Canadian fitness coach. They announced the relationship back in December 2022. 

Just recently, A-Rod shared a series of posts on Instagram from his birthday vacation for his 49th. It’s obvious that Jaclyn is very much still present in his life. From the pictures, the two of them seem to be pretty happy together, so it’s unlikely that he was trying to imply that he and JLo should get back together.

The Quote Actually Belongs to A-Rod

The thing is, there’s a pretty good chance that the quote he posted on his story was not related to JLo and Ben at all. While the timing was practically perfect for it to be a comment on the divorce news, there’s actually a perfectly good explanation as to what A-Rod was trying to do by posting the quote. 

The thing is, that’s actually his own quote. A-Rod was the one who said this, some time ago. 

He was actually sharing an inspirational post from a page called The Concept. They used A-Rod’s quote in one of their posts, and then he saw the post and decided to share it on his story. It makes perfect sense if you think about it. 

It’s a quote that he said. It’s even attributed to him in the post. Of course, he would want to share the post to his Story to show it to his followers.

He was probably pretty happy that The Concept thought that his quote was good and decided to make a post out of it. The only thing was that this all happened on the very same day that the news broke about JLo filing for divorce. When people saw that A-Rod shared this quote on his story, they just assumed it was about the divorce news. 

It’s actually been confirmed that he wasn’t trying to comment on the divorce at all. People Magazine spoke to a source close to A-Rod, and the source specifically said that the quote in his Story had nothing to do with JLo and Ben’s divorce. 

Nelly’s Secret Child

Tasha K has alleged that before marrying Ashanti, Nelly had been unfaithful in his previous relationship. And that he had an affair that resulted in a son that he’s been keeping out of the spotlight. The YouTuber claimed that Nelly had a fling with a life coach called Shanna Bianca a few years ago. 

Rumors Swirl

In 2020, Shanna allegedly became pregnant with Nelly’s son.  At this time, Nelly was still with his former partner, Shantel Jackson. According to some online outlets, Nelly first hooked up with his mystery baby mama in 2019. They allegedly went on to have a child named Chase. Other than that, very little is known about Nelly’s son or his mother. 

It could be that Nelly is doing everything in his power to keep his alleged affair from becoming widely known. 

Although his relationship with Shantel fizzled out some time later, there were never any accusations of cheating coming from his ex. According to both parties, they left things on pretty amicable terms. Shantel insisted that it had been her who had first made the decision to leave Nelly.  

However, a story about a son Nelly never publicly acknowledged is definitely something the rapper wouldn’t want to be out in the world. This has sparked other rumors about his real intentions with Ashanti. Some have suggested that he only agreed to finally marry the singer to try and deflect attention away from the rumors about his unfaithful past. 

Nelly Cover Up

Although this might sound like a crazy conspiracy theory to his fans, there is one wild coincidence here that first raised some eyebrows. And it’s to do with Tasha K. The Youtuber shared her allegations about Nelly and Shanna’s affair and child on the very same day that Nelly announced that he and Ashanti were now husband and wife. 

What’s suspicious about this is that Nelly seemed very happy to keep quiet about his marriage for a long time before Tasha K mentioned his name. Their wedding had been conducted in secret months earlier. According to Us Weekly, the couple got married in December last year. 

So if they were fine with keeping their marriage to themselves for so many months, what changed to make them want to share their news so publicly? For many fans, the answer was that Nelly was hiding something, and that his marriage to Ashanti was his protection. This theory has left many devastated fans feeling sorry for Ashanti, who has waited decades to finally settle down with Nelly. 

Ashanti Couldn’t Move On

Despite numerous rumors of other relationships, Ashanti’s relationship with Nelly is the only one the public knows the singer took seriously. They split up in 2013 after over ten years together on and off. After their break up, Nelly dated Shantel for years, but Ashanti never had another long term relationship. 

Many people were convinced she was still in love with Nelly, despite the fact that they weren’t seen together for years after that. Everything changed when they were reunited on Verzuz in 2023 for Fat Joe’s battle with Ja Rule. Many were delighted that they went on to get back together, including Ashanti herself. 

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Ashanti opened up about the aftermath of their initial breakup in 2013. She said that she didn’t think they would ever have a conversation again after they split. But when Nelly proposed to her over a decade later, there was only one answer in her mind. Ashanti said that it was a beautiful, intimate moment when Nelly asked her to marry him. 

The fact that the rapper seemed to be in such a bad place in 2022 is why some fans have concluded that getting back together with Ashanti was a PR move on his part. But if the rumors about his secret child are true, it might just be the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Mariah Carey Thinks Karma is Coming for JLo

It’s no secret that Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez don’t get along. While the two usually stay out of each other’s business, Mariah has talked to friends about Jennifer’s current situation.

The feud between the two singers started in the late ‘90s. JLo started collaborating with Mariah’s ex-husband, Tommy Mottola, and Mariah wasn’t happy about that. During an interview in 2008, Mariah infamously declared “I don’t know her” about Jennifer.

Now, an insider has shared that Mariah is having fun watching JLo fall “flat on her face.” It all stems from JLo canceling tour appearances and her marital problems.

According to an interview with In Touch, as Yahoo! shares, Mariah has allegedly followed the drama around JLo closely, as she gets ready for her own return to Vegas.

She believes that karma is coming for Jennifer, claiming that Jennifer is not as talented as she thinks she is. Mariah believes that Jennifer is too arrogant, and the canceled tour and marital woes are just the payback for that attitude.

Insiders say that Mariah has “trash-talked” JLo to her friends. This has been a way to make sure her own friends have her back. Mariah thinks that JLo will be ashamed to see her making all these concert plans and not have the ability to fight back in the on-stage war between them.

The insiders also make it clear that JLo knows of everything that has been said. The two have friends in common, so it’s going to get back to JLo. However, Mariah doesn’t care about that happening.

JLo May Have a Way to Come Back from This

Insiders have also shared that this isn’t the end of the feud. JLo is only going to put together a game plan to get back in the game.

She may put together a single that can be released during the holiday season. This is the time of year for Mariah, so it is a clear attack on her season.

Mariah is already planning her return to Vegas to celebrate the 30th anniversary of All I Want for Christmas Is You. The concert series is planned from Nov. 30 to mid-December. That gives J. Lo some time to put a plan together to push for her song to rise to the top of the charts in time for the Christmas No. 1.

RELATED: JLo is Falling Apart

Friends of JLo say that she is trying to stay positive right now. She hated canceling her tour in the midst of marital problems with Ben Affleck.

Now that she has filed for divorce, she has a lot more to worry about than Mariah. She is currently just trying to keep her mind on the good that the future can bring while working out this divorce when there isn’t a prenup to fall back on.

While fans don’t think JLo will be able to take over Mariah’s place as the heart of the holiday season, they aren’t all in support of Mariah’s attitude toward her. Many make it clear that it’s not good to take pleasure out of someone else’s pain.

Keke Palmer and Baby Daddy Update

Are Keke Palmer and her ex getting back together? Earlier this month, fans were shocked to see the movie star and her baby daddy Darius Jackson in public again after their wild breakup. What’s more, Media Take Out also reported that they’re actually expecting their second child together.

On August 13th, a photo surfaced online showing Keke and Darius spending time together with their son Leodis at the zoo. In the wholesome picture, the young boy can be seen laughing with Keke while Darius smiles at the camera. On Leodis’s Instagram account, a series of photos showed them enjoying the sights of the animals in what looks like a classic family outing. 

The caption, written from the perspective of Leodis, read, “You can’t tell, but I loved it. I had a fun day at the zoo! I’m grateful. Hope you guys had a good weekend!”

However, despite the happy images on display, neither Keke nor Darius’s Instagram accounts posted the same pictures. But, according to sources close to the former couple, Keke and Darius are no longer fighting. 

In fact, they’ve both reportedly dropped their restraining orders against each other. There’s even been a rumor circulating that they’re on better terms now than anyone could have expected. 

Allegedly, Keke is pregnant with their second child. This rumor started after a picture of the ex-couple with their son appeared to show Keke displaying a small belly bump. However, nothing about the rumor has been confirmed yet.

Darius Allegedly Mistreated Keke

Whether the story of another baby is true or not, fans are shocked to see the pair reunited. The post marked an incredible turnaround from where Keke and Darius were just a few months ago. 

According to US Weekly, Keke filed for a temporary restraining order on November 9th of last year. The same day, she asked for full custody of the former couple’s 8-month-old son.

To support her requests, Keke alleged that DV incidents had occurred between them in the past. For example, there was an incident from February 13th, 2022, that Keke said was recorded on home security footage. 

Images from that incident are now being shared online. In the pictures, Darius appeared to grab Keke.

In the legal filings, Keke alleged that Darius was jealous because she shared a photo of herself wearing a bikini. Keke also claimed that Darius entered her home and mistreated her at one point. Based on these allegations, the judge granted a temporary restraining order to both Keke and their son.

Before that, their families started sharing their own stories about the situation online. Darius’s brother, Sarunas, was one of the first to chime in.

In an online post, he wrote that we would all see and should just send positive energy to the baby, as any child in the middle of something like this does not deserve it. Sarunas finished by writing that it was all so sad.

He later deleted his remarks. However, the post was screengrabbed and shared by The Shade Room. It has since garnered tens of thousands of likes.

The Couple Began Having Problems After Leodis Was Born

In response, Keke was defended by her mom, Sharon. She wrote that Sarunas never intervened in what happened between Keke and his brother.

Sharon claimed that she had gone to Sarunas over a year ago and told him that Darius was mistreating Keke. She went on to allege that his response to her was that he used to be like that, too.

Sharon added that now Sarunas was posting on Twitter like he was some special guy, which she claimed everyone knew wasn’t the case. She finished by stating that Sarunas was disrespectful to women just like his brother.

Keke and Darius started dating in 2021 and welcomed their son, Leodis, in February 2023. A few months later, rumors started spreading that the couple had been facing problems in their relationship.

Darius took to Twitter to criticize what Keke wore to an Usher concert in Las Vegas. Keke documented how much fun she was having at the show on her Instagram story.

She was also filmed by other fans in attendance at the show. A video taken by a fan soon went viral online in which Keke could be seen hugging and slow dancing with Usher.

An account believed to be Darius’s own soon commented on the video, writing, “It’s the outfit tho… you a mom.” In a separate post, Darius wrote that he was being called a hater simply for having standards and morals.

Although he didn’t publicly address Keke’s latest legal filing, Darius recently shared a picture of himself holding his son on Twitter. In the caption, he wrote, “I love you, son. See you soon.”

Leodis Goes Everywhere with Keke

Honestly, the whole saga was pretty horrible for a long time. Fans had Keke’s back throughout, and she has managed to put a brave face on in public ever since. 

The one person who has done more to keep her going than anyone else has to be her baby boy. In an interview with People Magazine just recently, Keke opened up about his constant presence by her side. She said that the one-year-old went “every-single-where” with her and described him as “the funniest.”

She also joked that he was like her business partner because he was “smooth with the execs” at Keke’s many engagements. In more sincere mode, Keke went on to say that she was just “having fun watching him grow.”

The actress said that she was very grateful to be able to have the experience of raising him. Being a mother was something she always wanted in her life. 

She stopped herself from saying that parenthood had its ups and downs, choosing instead to say there were challenges. That was just because she wanted to make sure that she always showed up for her baby.

The Family May Be Rebuilding Their Bond

In meeting the challenges, Keke felt like she had also grown as a person. She said that it had pushed her to become a more precise version of herself, which she thought of as the process of parenthood. 

No matter how long the process was, Keke was sure that Leodis would still be right by her side. She said that his closeness to her was “the greatest thing” to her, and something she was always trying to maintain. 

Keke also acknowledged that this was one of the privileges of having a career like hers that allowed her to keep him near her at all times. She explained, “I’m working, but you know, you’re here and we’re here together and just to serve as an example for him, that’s just important to me.”

With Keke and Leodis seemingly joined at the hip, Darius has claimed for a long time to be desperate to get some time with his son. Although he has declared his love for Leodis online, his other posts have probably been stopping him from gaining more access. 

But judging by the recent posts of Keke, Leo, and Darius together, that barrier might just be falling away.

The Tragedy of Diggy Simmons

For a long time, of all the Simmons siblings, Diggy Simmons looked the most likely to strike out on his own and have a successful career. In recent times, however, his star has faded fast.Thanks to their successful father Rev Run, the Simmons kids will never need to be worried about ‘making it.’ But many of them have still tried to do their own thing in show business. 

Debut Album

For Diggy, this meant trying to carve out his own career as a rapper. And for a while, things were looking promising. However, after a great start which drew praise from some huge stars, his debut album bombed in 2012. Complex reported that Diggy sold just 20,000 copies in his first week and quickly became disheartened. It would be years before he made a comeback as he went on a soul search to figure out how much he really wanted to be in music. 

In 2018, he finally built up the strength to try again, explaining to XXL that he needed that time away to “find what was important” to him creatively. At the time, he stated that he was excited to start competing again with his hip hop contemporaries after rediscovering his purpose. But sadly, there was no Hollywood ending to his return.

The fans he had attracted during his original run had all grown up and were no longer interested in the youthful sound Diggy used in his music. What had at first been a smart approach from Diggy had now backfired on him. Before Diggy got into rapping, his older brother Jojo Simmons had been the first to try and follow in their dad’s footsteps. 

RELATED NEWS: The Tragedy of Angela Simmons’ Son

When Diggy’s turn came, he took a different tactic, never pretending to be something he wasn’t and embracing the comfortable life he’d been blessed with. His softer, poppier music was accessible to his fans while they were young. But they moved on while Diggy didn’t. 

Copy Cat

It has also been suggested that Diggy failed to carve out a distinct identity as a rapper. His sound has been described as a carbon copy of Drake. By appearing to copy the style of a much bigger star, Diggy ensured that he would not be taken seriously as a fully grown rapper and would always be seen as more of a novelty.

He has not released a new song since 2019, and his show business career appears to have reached its peak already. But it wasn’t always this way for Diggy. For a long time, he looked destined for stardom in music and acting. 

According to Paper magazine, he released his first mixtape, The First Flight, when he was just 14 years old. He also managed to go viral by performing a freestyle of Nas’s Made You Look. This managed to receive co-signs from the likes of Kanye West and even Nas himself. 

By the age of just 16, Diggy had scored a spot on XXL’s Freshman Class, as reported in Essence magazine. He also appeared on Billboard’s Artists to Watch list. In 2011, he was nominated for BET Hip Hop’s Rookie of the Year Award. The next year, he released his first album, Unexpected Arrival. And his second album, Lighten Up, came out in 2018.

Impressive Start

According to Paper magazine, the young rapper has already managed to rack up collabs with stars like Bruno Mars, Pharrell, and Jeremih. And he was also reported to be the youngest member of All City Chess Club, the rap collective headed up by Lupe Fiasco. 

Despite the trajectory of his career, Diggy himself has said that he wasn’t always sure about chasing a career in the entertainment industry. In an interview with Paper, he was asked if he ever considered avoiding show business. 

He said that he did when he was “way younger.”

He explained: “I just got this kind of attitude… where I just wanted to be an individual, I didn’t want anybody to attach me to my family.” But then he had a change of heart as a teenager. When talking about his second album, Diggy was asked what his dad thought of it. 

Stamp of Approval

And he said that he really loved it and was proud. Diggy also talked about the positive influence his dad has had on him away from music. He said: “We more just talk about how I should approach day to day life, experiences, relationships.”Although Diggy has been able to turn to one of the greats for advice about rap, he has always formed his own opinions on the art form.

And for him, it’s all about authenticity. He explained in his interview that for him, it was all about being honest and talking about your own experiences. He said that what really mattered was that your work was genuine and true to who you are. But after his attempted return to hip hop fell flat, Diggy seemed to make his mind up that it wasn’t for him anymore.  And while it’s sad that he couldn’t achieve his goals, he can always say that he really tried to do his own thing.

Nelly’s Attorney Slams Police

Nelly’s lawyer has come out to clear up some confusion about his famous client’s recent legal troubles. Scott Rosenblum talked to TMZ to dispel rumors that Nelly had been charged with illegal substance possession.

He went on to make some serious claims about the officers who took Nelly to jail. The drama all started earlier this month when Nelly found himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

On August 7, Nelly was arrested just outside St. Louis around 5 am. According to The Shade Room, the rapper was taken into custody and charged with possession of illegal substances.

He also faced charges related to having no insurance. The police statement mentioned that Nelly was also arrested for Failure to Appear on an old traffic charge.

The rapper’s attorney came to his client’s defense shortly after the scandal hit headlines. He denied that Nelly was charged with substance possession, stating instead that the rapper was arrested for lacking proof of insurance. 

He went on to attack the officers for allegedly treating Nelly unfairly. Scott claimed that Nelly had been targeted by “an overzealous, out-of-line officer.” 

Nelly Faced a Wave of Backlash

To some, it seemed like Nelly’s legal team wanted to downplay the seriousness of his arrest. However, many were still skeptical and believed that illegal substances were involved, and the reason why is wild.

The Sun reported that Nelly appeared glassy-eyed and slightly smiling in his police mug shot. This led some fans to be convinced that he might have been under the influence at the time of his arrest.

Fans quickly took to social media to criticize Nelly, expressing outrage over his behavior with a pregnant wife at home. A lot of their comments were brutal.

Many fans were upset that Nelly was acting so immaturely at nearly 50 years old. They even questioned whether Ashanti was right to take him back.

Some tweeted their anger, again adding that the couple getting back together might have been a mistake. This was shocking considering how happy everyone had been when they first got back together.

Nelly’s Arrest Has Overshadowed the Birth of His Son


When they were reunited on Verzuz in a moment that quickly went viral, Nelly and Ashanti looked delighted to be in each other’s company again. Most people were even more delighted when the couple shocked the world by revealing that they got married in secret at the end of 2023.

At the same time, they also revealed that they were expecting their first child together. Things had never looked brighter for them.

RELATED: The Sad Truth About Ashanti

But now, after Nelly’s arrest, so much doubt about their relationship has crept in. Some people have expressed sympathy for Ashanti, feeling that she must be scared and embarrassed by the situation Nelly has put her in.

The timing of Nelly’s arrest only intensified the public’s reaction. News has only emerged very recently that Ashanti actually had her baby recently.

The couple’s baby boy, Kareem Kenkaide Hayes, was born on July 18. This means that Nelly got himself arrested less than 3 weeks after welcoming his son into the world.

Nelly Has a History of Criminal Charges


While this will come as a huge disappointment to many Nelly fans, it’s far from his first brush with the law. His first major legal issue occurred in April 2015 when he was arrested on felony charges.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol had pulled over his tour bus for missing stickers. However, their search of the vehicle uncovered a whole lot more.

Authorities found illegal substances and paraphernalia, as well as 100 small Ziploc bags on Nelly’s bus. They also discovered several weapons, including a gold-plated firearm.

Following this, Nelly and one of his associates were charged and taken to County Jail. The other four men on the bus were not charged. Nelly’s lawyer then released a statement claiming that Nelly was not connected to the crazy contraband found on the bus.

The rapper himself also issued a statement which included some surprising remarks. He said that he took responsibility for his choices before turning on his fellow passengers on the bus that day. 

He suggested that he needed to be more cautious about who he allowed on his property. This attempt to shift blame onto his associates did not help his reputation among hip-hop fans.

In December 2015, Nelly pleaded guilty to a lesser misdemeanor charge of possession and was sentenced to one year of probation. While the outcome was better than the initial charges, it still caused damage to his public image.

Nelly’s 2017 Charges Devestated His Reputation


Nelly’s legal troubles continued with a much more serious accusation in 2017. College student Monique Greene accused Nelly of SA before a Florida Georgia Line concert.

The case horrified many, but more shocking twists were to come, as it seemed to go away as quickly as it came up. The case was dropped after just a week.

Monique was accused of failing to cooperate with the investigation, which her attorney claimed was due to her client having a lack of faith in the system Nelly’s legal team argued that Monique’s refusal to cooperate was because her claims were false.


Nelly agreed with this in his own statement, in which he described the accusations as “disingenuous.” He said that he was committed to cooperating with the investigation to uncover the truth.

Nelly also used his statement to criticize Monique’s lawyer, claiming that they were trying to ruin him. He accused the lawyer of involvement in other cases against him and of making derogatory remarks about the police.

According to Nelly’s statement, Monique’s lawyer had suggested that the officers were incompetent and had been intimidated into ignoring the case.

These comments from Nelly did not help his reputation at the time. His attempts to handle the situation by attacking Monique’s lawyer only made matters worse in the eyes of the public.

Ashanti Has Not Addressed the Arrest


Now, with a new arrest and a baby, Nelly faces backlash once again. The recent scandal has cast a shadow over the happy news of his son’s birth. It’s definitely the last thing Ashanti needed so soon after having her baby.

While almost everyone is mad at Nelly, his wife has received sympathy and some criticism for getting back together with Nelly. As soon as the news of Nelly’s arrest was made public, fans wanted to know Ashanti’s reaction. 

What she did turned out to be pretty interesting. The singer shared a post the very same day that Nelly was arrested which got fans talking. 

She was celebrating a special night with her mom. She even shared a series of pictures on Instagram from it.

This was several weeks after her mom’s birthday, so fans were curious about the timing. Was Ashanti trying to create some distance between her family and the news of Nelly’s arrest? If this was the case, she can’t really be blamed for wanting to keep away from all the drama. 

Many have voiced the opinion that Ashanti shouldn’t be surprised to find herself caught up in scandal, now that she’s married to Nelly. With so much troubling history both legally and within their relationship, many believe this was going to happen eventually.

But hopefully, Nelly can overcome his problems for the sake of his growing family.

Why Faith Hill Deleted Social Media

Faith Hill is one of the most successful, and recognizable country musicians of all time. Her husband, Tim McGraw, is similarly a bonafide country legend, and together, the two of them are a near-unstoppable force. Even though Hill hasn’t released an album since a 2017 joint affair with Tim, she still maintains a fairly strong presence in the spotlight.

In 2021, Faith and Tim were two of the main stars of the TV limited series 1883: A Yellowstone Origin Story. But recently, Faith has left fans confused and worried as she unexpectedly deleted her social media accounts.

So what’s going on behind the scenes? Is something going on with Faith and Tim? Let’s dive into it!

No one knows for sure when Faith specifically deactivated her accounts, but some fans caught on to it fairly quickly.

One user on Twitter asked the following on August 12th. “How come no one has noticed that Faith Hill deleted her Instagram page? What’s up with that?”

To this post, another user replied, “We’ve noticed… Twitter and Facebook too.” Once fans discovered that her social media platforms had seemingly vanished- the rumor mill began to circulate.

Tim and Faith Balance Each Other Out

Some fans were quick to wonder if something was going on between Faith and her husband, Tim McGraw. While Faith and Tim have yet to say anything publicly denying these rumors, the two seem to be doing just fine.

Around a month ago, Popculture posted an article about Tim and Faith’s relationship. The article detailed Tim and Faith’s biggest disagreements over the years, and how they’ve overcome them. According to Tim himself, most of the couple’s disagreements come in the form of squabbles over music issues.

Tim said, “I mean we’re two different artists. We don’t always agree, musically. In fact, some of our biggest disagreements come when we’re putting a tour together…”

Tim continued on to say that Faith is a very “type-A” person, while he isn’t. Or, in other words, Tim said that Faith is always cleaning up his messes.

While Tim is on the looser side, he says that the two tend to switch roles when playing shows. Faith tends to free-wheel their performance plans a bit, while Tim is more rigid.

But these balances in both their personal and professional lives make them a stronger pair. Tim said that even though they may knock heads over touring every once in a while, they always sort out their differences. He goes on to say that regardless of the circumstances, they always love touring together.

Tim and Faith’s Relationship Is Strong

After saying all of this about their touring lives, Tim went on to praise his wife.

Tim said, “She’s my biggest fan, I’m her biggest fan… I play music for her all the time… Like I said, we don’t always agree. There’s songs that I’ve loved and put on an album that she goes, ‘Ah, I don’t think I would put that on an album.’ And vice versa.”

He continues on to say that he’s learned to trust Faith completely and support her suggestions. So it would seem that the two don’t just balance each other out, they also make each other better musicians.

From this article and how recently it came out, it would seem that Tim and Faith are doing just fine. While Tim only posts about Faith on his Instagram every so often, every time he does, it’s in a very loving manner.

So, if nothing’s going on with Tim and Faith, what caused Faith to delete all of her social media accounts?

The same Twitter user who was quick to point out her absence may hold the answers. In another tweet, shortly after, they said: “I hope it (her absence) means new music…”

Other users quickly rallied around this theory, sharing their own thoughts on the platform. Another user said, “It’s sad enough Faith Hill has ghosted us when it comes to new music but social media too?”

Faith Had a Wildly Successful Career

These tweets, and many other reports may indicate that Faith Hill is working on new music. This would be a long time coming as Faith Hill hasn’t released her own music in some time.

Faith rose to mass fame and prominence throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. Over nearly a decade and a half, Faith was nominated for seventeen Grammys and won five. In 2001, she was even nominated for an Academy Award for an original song she wrote for the film: Pearl Harbor.

After a wildly successful solo career, Faith seemed to take something of a step back. She released compilations of greatest hits, a Christmas album, duets with Tim McGraw, and even did a residence in Las Vegas, but, Faith Hill hasn’t released a solo album since her 2005 album, Fireflies. In fact, Faith hasn’t released any new music at all since her 2017 duet album with Tim McGraw.

Outside of music, Faith has been digging her teeth into more acting roles. Her tenure on 1883: A Yellowstone Origin Story alongside her husband was widely praised.

Now, after nineteen years of no new solo music, and seven years of no music at all, fans are beginning to wonder if she’s making a big-time comeback. According to a recent Taste of Country article, Faith has been hinting at a return to music for years.

Faith Previously Attempted a Comeback

Around 2010, Faith was hinting at a return to form with a major album release. Faith was referencing an album entitled Illusion and even released a few singles. In 2011, it was reported by Reuters that Faith had gone back into the recording studio to work on said album.

Around the time, in an interview, Faith said: “I would like to have a record out… but it hasn’t been the right thing yet. I don’t want it to be just another record. It’s a lot of work to support a record, so I just want it to be… really great.”

Faith also acknowledged after this that it’s been difficult making another record with all the changes in her life. She said that at some point her focus had to shift towards focusing on her family and raising her children.

But still, in the early 2010s, it seemed that Faith was poised to make a comeback with Illusion. Over the course of the year, Faith released and performed several singles from the album including “Come Home,” “Illusion,” and finally “Overrated.”

Then, in late 2012, Faith released a final single along with a music video entitled “American Heart.” But alas, no more singles were released after this, and the album never saw the light of day.

Taste of Country speculates that a sound shift from Faith’s earlier work to these Illusion singles left some fans disillusioned.

The website also reported that in the aftermath of the Illusion fiasco, Faith left her record label at Warner Music Nashville, and moved over to Sony. According to Sony’s website, Faith is still listed as one of their licensed artists.

There Are Rumors of a “Breathe” Re-Release

So, could all of this social media fuss just be an effort to get fans excited for new music? Possibly, but there’s one more major theory that some fans are latching on to.

In November, Faith’s Breathe album is going to turn twenty-five years old. Some fans have speculated that she’s going to do something in conjunction with the popular album’s anniversary.

Whether it’s a re-release, a re-issue, or a tour in honor of the album- fans are eager to know. Breathe is one of the best-selling country albums of all time, and would definitely warrant a special celebration.

But at this point in time, we simply do not have an answer as to why Faith deactivated her social media accounts. It’s fairly certain that this has nothing to do with Faith and Tim’s relationship.

Perhaps, it’s coinciding with the release of new music or the promotion of an oldie but a goodie. Or maybe at the end of the day, Faith just needed a break from the hustle and bustle of social media.

Until Faith returns, or we hear anything from her ourselves, it’s hard to speculate on what it could all mean.

Fans Are Worried About Morgan Wallen

Morgan Wallen is one of the biggest and most talented superstars in country music. Unfortunately, he often acts in equally troubling ways that have earned him a lot of bad publicity.

A shocking thread on the Celeb Wives of Nashville subreddit reveals how Morgan’s fans are making a huge deal out of his alleged problems. The weirdest thing is that his fans and critics can’t decide what exactly is wrong with Morgan and why.

The OP posted a 30-second TikTok video on the thread with the caption, “Kansas City Intro, Morgan Wallen + Brooks & Dunn.” We can clearly see Morgan walking down a hall in a stadium with country legends Kix Brooks and Ronnie following behind.

Morgan looks a bit scruffy in his baby blue Kansas City Royals baseball jersey, wearing number 16 for the legendary athlete Bo Jackson. Then, the music starts, and you can hear the crowd begin to cheer. Morgan acknowledges the crowd, but something definitely seems off.

Morgan looks inebriated in this video, or worse. Anyone who examines Morgan in this clip would probably think he’s tumbling faster down a downward slope.

The OP wrote, “Is MW okay? What is this intro?”

They included a “peeking eye” emoji, which the Internet describes as “wanting to look away from something” because it’s “frightening, disgusting, or embarrassing, but not being able to.” When you look at it that way, the emoji fits this thread perfectly.

Several Fans Questioned the Authenticity of the Video

Then, the debate started. The Celeb Wives dissected the TikTok video with sympathy, uncertainty, and some scathing shade thrown at Morgan.

The first two comments are actually hilarious. Someone wrote, “Is that actually [Morgan]? Looks like everybody’s Midwestern stepdad.”

That made someone else respond with, “What do they say? There’s one of these in every rural gas station.”

We’re not trying to be heartless by beginning with the jokey comments on the subreddit. The real truth is that this TikTok video is being questioned for its authenticity. Additional footage of August 1st seems to indicate Morgan was fine and not too far under the influence.

Still, that doesn’t mean that Morgan hasn’t appeared in public after consuming too many substances. The best (or worst) example of this is Morgan’s chair-tossing stunt in April at his buddy Eric Church’s recently opened honky tonk in downtown Nashville.

Back to the subreddit and the more sympathetic fans who genuinely believe Morgan is spiraling out of control. One fan wrote on the evening of August 2nd, “Oh, he doesn’t look well.”

An hour later, another fan agreed. They provided specific details on why they thought Morgan had drunk too much or taken substances.

They wrote, “The hand movements, the eyes. Not sober behavior.” They added, “I love MW don’t get me wrong.”

Then, they claimed that Morgan looked “munted,” which the Oxford Dictionary describes as “broke, ruined, or drunk.” The fan warned, “If you think he’s not you need to remove your rose [colored] glasses.”

Another user agreed with this depressing analysis and shockingly added that they know all too well the effects of overdoing substances. They also wrote that they love Morgan, but “this man is messed up.” Sadly, they finished with, “I wish I could say [differently].”

Morgan’s Mom Allegedly Feels Powerless

Another reply mentioned Morgan’s mom, Lesli. The user wrote, “Oh my,” and stated, “If his mom sees this, she’s going to cry herself to sleep.” That might be the truth, but the sadder thing is that Lesli has known about Morgan’s alleged issues for a long time and feels powerless to assist.

Shockingly, a Celeb Wives subreddit thread from three years ago claimed, “Dang, Momma Wallen speaking out.” The OP uploaded a screenshot of alleged messages on social media between Lesli and some Morgan fans.

One fan tagged Lesli and wrote that they were “happy to see” Morgan perform until they saw him “drinkin’.” They threw shade by writing “Why lie” about being sober? If it was really Lesli, she set the record straight in a shocking way.

Lesli’s alleged message was that Morgan “went to rehab,” but “rehab doesn’t guarantee sober. I wish it did.” In a previous thread on the subreddit was posted five months ago with the shocking title, “Morgan Wallen and the downward spiral.”

The OP here wrote a long message to kick off the thread. In a nutshell, they were “shocked at how many MW haters there were.” They claimed, “This isn’t the same country music fan base I grew up with.”

They also wrote, “Celebrities are human and make mistakes… things their management company can’t spin and make it go away.” The OP added that Morgan was “thrust into fame at a very, very young age.” Then, they asked a couple of burning questions.

The OP wrote, “Does [Morgan] have a lot of growing up to do?” They answered, “Absolutely.”

Next, they asked, “Does [Morgan] most likely need rehab…?” They didn’t miss a beat by answering, “Probably.” Then, they defended Morgan.

The OP claimed to have “been around long enough” to remember other country music superstars who had issues or did stupid things in public, including “when Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney were arrested.”

Morgan’s Fans Are Very Concerned

While the OP got a ton of shade thrown at them for posting this thread and sounding so “pro” Morgan, the best-rated comment began with a bullet point that said, “This is coming from a fan of Morgan Wallen, so feel free to tear me apart.” This is frankly one of the best comments we’ve read from a fan who allegedly loves Morgan’s music and still believes that Morgan needs to be held “accountable.” 

The commenter described another TikTok video that “[summed] this up perfectly.” They alleged that Morgan wants to behave “like a trashy redneck,” when the real truth is, “he’s a rich redneck.” This commenter didn’t hold back, and they offered up a depressing prediction.

They think Morgan’s record label, Big Loud, “needs to sit him down and ship his a** off to rehab… he needs to get help and get it fast.” They claimed that if Morgan doesn’t “take a look at the writing on the wall,” there could be a shocking headline in the future that he took too many substances or drank too much and passed away. The commenter also mentioned the most important thing in Morgan’s life.

They’d previously reminded us that Morgan is in his 30s and he’s “a father.” They wrote, “Whether you like his music or not, it’s not fair to his child to grow up without a father.” They offered a suggestion.

This Celeb Wives user thinks that Morgan’s fans “should be encouraging him to go get help, and we should be holding him accountable. He’s old enough to understand that there are consequences for your actions.” 

This was a thoughtful and pretty brave comment. Still, on the first thread, some Celeb Wives questioned whether the TikTok video of Morgan’s “Kansas City Intro” was genuine. Could it have been slowed down to make Morgan look like he was under the influence?

Morgan’s TikTok Provided a New Perspective

On August 3rd, someone made the shocking allegation that the person who took this TikTok video had a “view” or a “camera angle” that “sucked.” They claimed to have seen another video on a Morgan Wallen account that showed “the whole intro,” and Morgan “looked sober, maybe a bit sweaty, but otherwise good.”

On August 4th, a user alleged that Morgan had appeared in another TikTok video that evening “with a ‘Make a Wish’ kid…” and Morgan appeared to be “completely sober and coherent.”

On August 2nd, Rolling Stone reported on Morgan’s concert at Arrowhead Stadium. There was no mention in their article that there was anything wrong with Morgan during his concert on August 1st in Kansas City. Rolling Stone wrote that he “played the rest of his typical show,” but the real truth is that Morgan “had a surprise up his sleeve.” 

They explained that Morgan “took it back to the early Nineties” for his Kansas City “encore.” That’s when Kix and Ronnie joined Morgan onstage, and they thrilled the crowd by performing the Brooks & Dunn classic, “Neon Moon.”

Kix and Ronnie even shared a backstage video on Instagram, which provided another glimpse of Morgan on August 1st. Morgan commented, “Well, that was a damn good time.” 

Dog the Bounty Hunter’s Forgotten Children

Dog the Bounty Hunter, or Duane Lee Chapman as he’s legally known, is one of the biggest and most infamous reality TV stars of all time. Duane’s show, also entitled Dog the Bounty Hunter ran for eight years and amassed a massive following.

Over the course of his six major relationships, Duane has fathered an impressive thirteen children. But who are Dog’s children? According to People Magazine, Duane’s oldest and first child was born in 1972. Duane welcomed Christopher Michael with then girlfriend, Debbie White.

In 1978, Christopher’s mother committed suicide and he was adopted by the Hecht family. According to The US Sun, Christopher didn’t know Dog was his father until he was 19 years old.

Dog’s second son: Duane Lee Chapman II was born in 1973 to Dog and his first wife: La Fonda Sue Darnall. Duane the second has made many appearances throughout his father’s programs- and also works as a bailsman. Dog’s third son: Leland, born in 1976 also to La Fonda- was also caught up in this alleged dispute.

Leland supposedly left the spin-off show entitled: Dog and Beth: On the Hunt also due to a dispute with Beth. But unlike his older brother: Duane II, Leland was quicker to make amends with his father.

Duane’s fourth child: Zebediah, born in 1980 to Dog and his second wife: Ann Tegnell sadly passed away about a month after his birth. His fifth child is Wes, also born in 1980 to Ann and Dog and also has a strenuous relationship with his father. When Dog and Ann separated, Wes went to live with his biological grandparents. But quickly, he found himself bouncing between different foster homes. According to Wes, his childhood was riddled with abuse- but it made him the man he is today.

Dog and Ann gave birth to his sixth child: James Robert in 1982 and he’s made a few appearances on the show. But very little else is known about him, or what he’s doing with his life nowadays. In 1982, Dog welcomed his seventh child and first daughter: Barbara Katy with his third wife: Lyssa Rae Brittain. Tragically though, Barbara passed away when she was only twenty three years old. She actually died in a car accident the night before Dog and Beth’s wedding.

Dog’s eighth child is Tucker Dee, who was born a year later in 1983 to Dog and Lyssa. Tucker made a few appearances on the show, and is now working on his own as a bounty hunter. Dog’s ninth child: Lyssa Rae was born several years later in 1987 to Dog and Lyssa. She was also featured prominently throughout the original series- but again opted out of appearing on the spin-off.

Feuding

In recent years, Dog’s tenth child and him have had a somewhat public feud that’s called into question his reputation. Bonnie Joanne was born to Dog and his then partner Beth back in 1998.

In the wake of her mother’s death in 2019, Bonnie started a boutique with her younger sister called: Huntress Boutique. Shortly after Beth’s passing- Dog quickly hopped into a new relationship with Francie Frane and Bonnie came to his defense.

But in 2021, Bonnie released a statement about why she wasn’t invited to Dog and Francie’s wedding. According to Bonnie, Dog was upset because of her participation in Black Lives Matter activism. Her statement reads: “I’m sorry, but I can’t defend my Dad’s racism… I have expressed time and time again my ever-growing disappointment in my father’s progression into his old racist ways.”

Dog’s eleventh child: Garry was born in 2001 to Dog and Beth and along with his sisters- he’s always quick to honor the legacy of his late mother, Beth.

Dog and Beth adopted Dog’s twelfth child: Cecily- who was born in 1993. Along with Bonnie, she runs the Huntress Boutique in honor of her late mother.

And for a long time, it seemed like these were Dog’s only twelve children.

But recently, a shocking revelation revealed that Dog actually has a thirteenth child, a son named: Jon.According to Parade, Dog discovered he had another son in June of 2023. Currently, it’s unclear as to how Dog discovered his long lost son- and who Jon’s mother is.

Nelly’s Bodyguard Brian Took the Fall

Nelly’s recent scandal has got a lot of people looking back through the years at some of his previous run-ins with the law. 

While some rappers see their legends grow when they face legal issues, Nelly has repeatedly damaged his reputation in how he’s handled getting arrested

Did Nelly Sell Out His Friend?

More than a decade ago, one high-profile bust saw Nelly come in for criticism after appearing to sell out his friends to get off some serious charges. 

Here’s what we know about the time his bodyguard took the fall for him. 


Sierra Blanca, Texas, has been known as a hotspot for high-profile celebrity arrests for many years.

The small town has a reputation for its strict enforcement of substance laws, and it apparently makes no special allowance for the rich and famous.

Among the stars who have experienced the town’s zero tolerance policy are Fiona Apple and Willie Nelson.

And on October 10, 2012, Nelly was added to that list.

Nelly’s Tour Bus Searched For Drugs 


Nelly was traveling through the area with a group of associates on his tour bus.

The bus, registered under Nelly’s real name, was going through a Border Patrol checkpoint.

Outlets reported that at the checkpoint, Border Patrol agents performed a citizenship check on everyone aboard.

A potential issue was signaled by the officer’s sniffer dog, suggesting the presence of either substances or hidden individuals on the bus.

The bus was directed to another lane for a more thorough inspection.

Once stopped, the Border Patrol agent asked all passengers to exit the vehicle to allow the dog to search the bus.

The dog discovered a box and a green duffel bag under the bus.

Agents Found Drugs And Firearms On Nelly’s Tour Bus

What happened next was crazy.

Inside the box, agents discovered a plastic container and 36 small baggies of various illegal substances, as well as a loaded firearm.

The green duffel bag was found to contain over 10 pounds of another substance in nine vacuum-sealed bags.

The officers probably couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

The bus had reportedly only been pulled over by the Tennessee Highway patrol after the cops noticed it was missing two required stickers.

Everyone on the bus was detained, including Nelly.

But things were even crazier than they seemed.

The police also found numerous other firearms around the tour bus.

One of which was a gold-plated firearm. 

Nelly And His Associate Arrested 

Nelly and one of his associates were charged and taken to County Jail.

There were 4 other men on board who were not charged. 

Things were looking bleak for Nelly.

According to the description of what was found on the bus, it sounded like there were enough illegal substances on board to be considered as intent to sell.

Which could have meant serious punishment for those involved.

Brian Keith Jones Took The Charge For Nelly


But as the investigation continued, Nelly managed to avoid big problems after an unexpected twist. 

His bodyguard, Brian Keith Jones, reportedly confessed that the substances were his.

As reported by Riverfront Times, Brian took the hit for the bust after a couple of days in jail. 

At the time of reporting, he had not been arraigned, and his punishment was unknown.

To be honest, it’s also unknown whether Brian was genuinely responsible or took the blame for someone else.

This made everyone more curious about the nature of Brian’s relationship with his employer Nelly

According to reports, Brian had worked for the artist as a bodyguard for more than 10 years and was considered a friend by the rapper. 

For some, this fuelled speculation that Brian was just trying to help Nelly avoid trouble. 

Nelly Questioned Why Brian Jeopardized His Life

But going by some tweets the rapper posted some time after the scandal, it sounded like Nelly was far from happy with his old associate.

In an old tweet, Nelly suggested that someone who he called a friend and who had worked for him for over 10 years had jeopardized his life. 

It seemed like Nelly was determined to keep a healthy distance from his old bodyguard and not to seem like he was in any way connected to what had been found on his bus.

Nelly Speaks Out On Former Bodyguard Brian Keith Jones

After Brian was arrested, Nelly talked to TMZ about what happened. 

In his statement, Nelly claimed in no uncertain terms that he had nothing to do with what Brian said he had done. 

Nelly said, “It is my understanding that a member of my staff made an unfortunate decision to bring unlawful materials onto our tour bus that resulted in his arrest.”

He went on to push himself even further away from any suspicion.

Nelly said, “Neither I nor anyone else on the tour bus was aware of his decision to bring these on board.”

So if his bodyguard really was doing this for Nelly, it looked like he couldn’t expect to get any public support from his boss.

But that wasn’t the end of the story.

Nelly and His Lawyer Speak Out

Soon after the bombshell news went public, Nelly’s lawyer released a statement. 

He said that they were all extremely confident that Nelly wouldn’t be associated with the contraband that was found on the bus.

Not long after that, Nelly released his own statement, in which he said a lot of the same things. 

He claimed that he felt that he needed to take responsibility for his choices. 

Which he followed by saying that he needed to be more aware of all the people he associated with and allowed onto his property.

It looked pretty clear what the rapper was trying to say.

Nelly Pleaded Guilty

Nelly was pretty much putting all of the blame for the illegal items on the bus onto his friend. 

Which wasn’t exactly the best look for a hip-hop artist at the time.

He was later released on $10,000.

And in December 2015, Nelly pleaded guilty to a smaller misdemeanor charge of possession and was sentenced to one year probation. 

Considering how serious things looked when the substances and weapons were first found, this must have felt like a pretty good outcome. 

However, some damage had already been done.

Nelly’s decision to try to blame his bodyguard for what was on his bus did not help his street cred as a rapper.

And to this day, not everyone is convinced that Nelly really had no idea what was going on.

Nelly Arrested in St. Louis


It’s recently become clear that issues relating to illegal substances are still plaguing Nelly’s life to this day.

Earlier this month, he was arrested just outside St. Louis. 

According to The Shade Room, the rapper was taken into custody just before 5 am on August 7.

He was reportedly charged with possession of illegal substances after being pulled over by police.

He was also alleged to be facing trouble for having no insurance. 

In a statement, the police said that they had arrested him for Failure to Appear on an old traffic charge.

Nelly’s Attorney Denied Charges

He has since been released, and a representative for the 49-year-old has made a statement in his defense. 

His attorney, Scott Rosenblum, denied the charge against his client. 

He said that the rapper had not actually been charged with anything to do with substance possession, but instead for having no proof of insurance. 

He added that Nelly had been targeted by an overzealous officer who was completely out of line.

Despite his lawyer’s statement, many are still convinced that illegal substances were involved in Nelly’s recent arrest. 

The Sun reported that the rapper appeared to be glassy eyed in his mug shot.

He was also slightly smiling in the photo, suggesting that he was in some way under the influence.


This time, it doesn’t look like there’s anyone else around to take the blame for the rapper.
