Why Was Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes Running?

When Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes from TLC passed away, it devastated fans everywhere, especially since her passing was so sudden and unexpected.

Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes Predicted Her Own Death

But was it actually unexpected?

Based on what Lisa said in the past, she may have predicted her own demise and was trying to run away from it.

So, what happened?

And what did Lisa see that made her think that her days were numbered?

Well, according to The Mirror, it all started just weeks before Lisa’s terrible car accident.

Lisa was in Hawaii shooting a documentary when one of the worst things that could ever happen to a person actually occurred.

“Left Eye” Inside Vehicle Responsible For Death Of 10-Year-Old

She was sitting in a van while her production assistant was driving.

And while they were driving, a 10-year-old boy ran into the road.

Unable to swerve in time, the van hit him, and he passed away immediately.

Lisa was horrified, though.

She got out of the van, picked up his body, then rushed him to the hospital.

Unfortunately, there was nothing that the doctors could do, and he was officially pronounced no longer living.

The boy’s family was contacted, and they made it to the hospital, too.

“Left Eye” Paid For 10-Year-Old’s Funeral

Now, you might expect the parents to have been really angry at Lisa.

At the very least, you’d think they would’ve sued her.

That didn’t happen, though.

They were touched by the remorse and care that Lisa had shown to their boy.

She even took him to the best hospital in Hawaii, which wasn’t cheap.

Instead of having them pay for the boy’s hospital costs, Lisa covered them all. 

She even covered the costs related to the funeral, so they didn’t have to pay anything.

Lisa wasn’t just devastated by the loss, either.

She also believed that the boy had been an accidental target.

He had passed away instead of her.

Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes Confesses Seeing An Evil Spirit

Prior to the incident, Lisa told her friends that she had been seeing a spirit.

This spirit had been following her around.

It wasn’t a friendly spirit, either.

She believed that this spirit was trying to harm her and even take her life.

She saw the spirit on the day of the terrible accident, and she was convinced that the spirit had tried to take her life, but it had ended up taking the boy’s life instead.

So, she felt even more responsible for his passing.

Now, let’s pause here and consider what she was saying.

Lisa was a pretty superstitious person.

She believed in energy transformation, spirits, and demons.

Toward the end of her life, she was really looking into how to heal the demons from her past, so she could live a more peaceful and stable life.

Her spiritual journey often took her places across the world.

As a spiritual person, it’s easy to assume that Lisa saw omens.

For her, the biggest omen of doom was this spirit that she claimed to keep seeing.

Dr. Michael Hunter Speaks Out About “Left Eye’s” Mental Health

But was it actually a spirit?

Or was it some internal fear of something that she didn’t quite understand?

Did she actually believe that she was getting closer and closer to her final day, and the only way her brain could rationalize that knowledge was by seeing a spirit?

Dr. Michael Hunter, a forensic pathologist who knew Lisa, said that during this time in her life, her mental health wasn’t doing well.

He even called her mental state fragile and said that she was experiencing really dark moods.

After the boy’s passing, those feelings became even more intense.

It’s almost as if she knew what was right behind the corner for her.

How Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes Died 

Most fans know the rest of Lisa’s story.

She was in Honduras, working on her spiritual journey and volunteering at a children’s center there.

On April 25th, 2002, she was driving a rented car with seven other people in it when a truck suddenly stopped in the middle of the road in front of her.

Lisa swerved to try and miss the truck, but the car went off the side of the road.

It rolled over several times, hitting trees as it went.

All the passengers were flung out of the car, but it was only Lisa who received a fatal injury.

She had fractured her skull and basically passed away immediately.

“Left Eye” Felt She Would Die At Early Age Like Tupac 

Now, there are a lot of eerie things about this.

Remember when she said that she was sure that the spirit that had been following her around had been trying to end her life when it had accidentally taken the boy instead?

It’s pretty odd that the way in which Lisa passed away was really similar to how she almost could have passed away from that previous accident.

If this spirit was real, it’s like it wanted to try the same method again, and it wasn’t going to miss this time.

Secondly, Lisa told the director of the documentary that she was making, Lauren Lazin, that she always had a feeling that she was going to pass away when she was young.

She explained that it was because she had so much in common with Tupac.

Tupac had passed away just a few years before Lisa, and they had been really close in life.

He passed away when he was young, though, so she felt like she was always going to do the same thing as him.

Lisa “Left Eye” And Tupac’s Relationship

There’s another whole eerie thing about this, too, but to get into that, we’ll need to dig into Lisa’s relationship with Tupac a little more.

A fan put a lot of work into creating a timeline of Tupac and Lisa’s relationship on Reddit, and they claimed that Tupac and Lisa first heard about each other in 1991.

They hadn’t met yet, but Tupac had seen a painting of Lisa, and he really wanted to meet her.

He told the artist to give her his number if he ever saw her again.

Meanwhile, Lisa had seen Tupac do an interview on TV and also wanted to meet him.

The artist gave her Tupac’s number, and the two started talking over the phone.

In 1992, the two finally met during an after-party that TLC was hosting.

They were instantly attracted to each other, but they felt like they weren’t quite ready to be together.

They were both young, and the idea of settling down wasn’t something they wanted any time soon.

Tupac allegedly told her to tell him no if he ever asked to get intimate with her.

They wanted to stay platonic and enjoy each other as friends.

“Left Eye’s” Contract With Tupac 

In that same year, Lisa painted a picture of Tupac.

On the back of the painting was a contract.

On the contract were 10 goals they wanted to reach, and for each goal, they’d put $1 million into a pot, then sell the painting and donate all the money to charity.

Now, here’s the part to remember.

One of those goals was that in 10 years, they’d be together.

They both signed the contract, and Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, one of TLC’s other members, signed as a witness.

From here, their relationship gets super messy.

They were never officially together, but they didn’t like it when the other person was dating someone else.

They made a few songs about it, like Tupac’s Can U Get Away, which has always been rumored to be about Lisa.

“Left Eye’s” Toxic Relationship With Andre Rison 

Lisa eventually went on to have a really messy relationship with Andre Rison.

While she was with Andre, the relationship was pretty toxic.

There were a lot of allegations of physical fighting and cheating.

During Andre’s interview with The Art of Dialogue, he recounted one infamous night when Lisa had burned down his house.

The story goes that Lisa showed up at the house and found Andre cheating on her.

She got so mad that she took his shoes and put them in the bathtub.

She originally intended to just burn his shoes, but then the house caught fire, too.

During the chaos, Andre noticed that Tupac pulled up in a black limo, and Lisa left with him.

He basically believed that Lisa was cheating on him with Tupac.

How Lisa “Left Eye” And Tupac Fulfilled Their Contract’s Obligations

The two, once more, never officially got together, however, and Lisa even claimed to a friend of hers that even though they slept in the same bed, they had never been intimate together.

Now, here’s the crazy part.

When Lisa passed away in 2002, it had been 10 years since she and Tupac had signed the contract.

2002 was the year that they were meant to be together.

So, was it Tupac’s spirit that had come to collect her to fulfill the contract’s obligations?

Or did something else more sinister happen?

Or was it just a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time?

The G Herbo, Ari Fletcher Situation Just Got Worse

Rapper G Herbo might just hold the title for the messiest relationship drama in hip hop right now. 

While tensions have always existed between his ex Ari Fletcher and his other baby mama, Taina Williams, recently, things got crazier than ever.

Here’s what happened.

Ari Fletcher And G Herbo’s Baby Mama Taina Parties Together 

Recently, it was reported that the beef was reignited after G Herbo caught a stray shot from Ari after she got involved in a bust-up online. 

She was firing back at a commenter who, like so many others, was shocked to see what happened between the rapper and his ex just a few days earlier. 

Despite having serious drama that has lasted for years, Ari and Taina were spotted out partying together in Miami. 

Fans were shocked to learn that the pair appeared together at the Playa nightclub after images were posted on Instagram.

Given everything that has happened between them over the years, this was a link-up that no one saw coming. 

Ari and Taina’s co-parenting drama has been a hot topic for a while.

Taina Williams Accuses Ari Fletcher Of Mistreating Son 

A string of messy moments has kept fans on the edge of their sets to find out what crazy things they said next about each other.

Back in March 2022, Ari accused Taina of seriously mistreating her son Yosohn.

She even claimed online that her son came home with a scar and suggested that Taina had done something while G Herbo wasn’t home.

But Taina quickly shut the claims down, claiming that she loved Ari’s child like her own.

G Herbo Breaks Up With Baby Mama Taina 

Things only got worse when G Herbo admitted that he had cheated on Ari with Taina.

But that wasn’t by any means where the drama ended.

In June 2023, G Herbo shocked everyone by announcing his breakup with Taina on Instagram.

In a super blunt post, he said, “I’m single,” putting an end to their relationship that had started back in 2019.

According to the online rumor mill, the breakup came after some serious tension.

There were a lot of examples that back this up, like when G Herbo publicly called out Taina for a post she made about her outfit.

So with all that history, it was no wonder that we were all left speechless when Ari and Taina looked like they were getting along just fine in Miami.

Could it really be that they’d buried the hatchet?

Maybe, for the sake of their kids, the two women were trying to figure out how best to make things work as co-parents.

Ari Fletcher’s Cryptic Post And Response 

But in the days following their night together, Ari’s more recent tweets suggested that there was still no closure about the drama that had gone down in the past. 

After the reports of their time together at Playa, one fan took to Twitter to try and make some dubious claims. 

They said that it reflected well on G Herbo that his two exes were able to spend time together. 

When Ari saw this, she couldn’t help but blow up again. 

She said that G Herbo had nothing to do with it, and that men were given too much credit for what adult women could do. 

Fans Speak Out About Ari Fletcher And Taina Williams 

However, not everyone was convinced that it was such a great idea for the pair to be associating at all. 

Another Twitter user shared their take, saying, “Maybe I need to grow up but I would never be buddy buddy with Ari if I was Taina.”

They went on to write that Ari had bullied and even threatened her love rival. 

Another echoed this, stating that they couldn’t be friends with someone who had made the type of claims Ari had made about how Taina treated her child. 

Ari Fletcher Exposes Taina’s Contact Information 

With all the wild actions taken over the years, it’s probably not surprising that the idea of a friendship between Taina and Ari seemed a little unlikely. 

Just last year, Ari even reportedly shared Taina’s contact details online for anyone to see. 

Which is obviously a hugely irresponsible thing to do. 

For a lot of people, it’s been pretty hard to wrap their heads around just why Ari’s thrown so much shade Taina’s way over the years.

G Herbo Calls Out Ari: ‘She Be Cool, But She Crazy’

To understand the drama, let’s rewind to around 2014 or 2015 when G Herbo and Ari started dating.

They welcomed their son in April 2018.

But just three months later, G Herbo appeared on Angela Yee’s Lip Service podcast and said that all Ari tried to do was fight and force him to de-escalate the situation.

He explained, “She be cool, but she crazy.”

Unsurprisingly, their relationship didn’t last long after that.

Ari Fletcher Speaks Out About G Herbo 

While Ari was dealing with postpartum depression, she told her followers in October 2018 that they broke up because of G Herbo’s actions.

Ari explained that they separated because G Herbo just wanted to go out after they had their baby instead of staying in with his family.

She added at the time that she didn’t want to go in on the details because he was still the father of her son, which she said was unfortunate.

But Ari wasn’t done.

Did G Herbo Cheat On Ari Fletcher With His Baby Mama Taina?

She later went back online to repeat that she was single.

But she also shared a screenshot of G Herbo on FaceTime while his friend was recording him.

It looked like G Herbo was FaceTiming another woman.

Ari captioned the screenshot, “Wrap it up, sis.”

Online detectives quickly figured out the other woman was Taina.

Fans flooded Taina’s Instagram, calling her a trifling homewrecker.

But G Herbo eventually responded, writing, “I’ve been single before y’all even knew what was going on. Y’all got to stop this internet. It’s frying y’all brain.”

Weeks later, G Herbo was seen getting cozy with Taina during a studio session.

Ari shared just how she felt about the situation on the internet.

After G Herbo posted a picture of their son, Ari commented, “You haven’t called him in over a week. Don’t post my son.”

Taina Williams’ Mom Emily Causes More Drama

In December 2018, Ari told her followers that Taina’s mom, Emily, had called her to smooth things over.

According to Ari, the conversation backfired after Emily told G Herbo lies about their chat.

Emily commented publicly, saying that she was disappointed that Ari hadn’t contacted Taina before ruining her reputation online.

Emily said that she hoped the women could talk to each other and stop airing their drama on the internet.

She added, “I’m not perfect, but I raised my daughter to be honest, have self-respect, and to always take the high road.”

Ari Fletcher Calls Out Lil Wayne’s Daughter Reginae

Ari was unimpressed, going live on Instagram and throwing slurs at Taina.

When a snippet of Ari’s rant was shared online, it caught the attention of Lil Wayne’s daughter, Reginae Carter.

Reginae, a friend of Taina’s, referred to her as a classy woman and said that tearing her down wouldn’t get Ari G Herbo back.

Ari clapped back, saying that she would hurt her feelings so bad unless she stayed quiet.

Ari Fires Back At G Herbo And Taina’s Relationship 

In January 2019, G Herbo and Taina confirmed their relationship by posting photos for the new year.

G Herbo also shared a video of himself kissing Taina on the cheek.

Ari didn’t take long to share her reaction.

She posted an expletive-laden video in which she even expressed a hope that they both passed away.

Ari Fletcher Accuses G Herbo Of Domestic Assault 

After that, things started getting really dark.

Ari accused G Herbo of forcibly entering her Atlanta home, dragging her by her hair, and leaving a mark on her head.

She went on to share photos of her injuries on social media.

Hopefully, the fact that Ari and Taina were spotted out together means that the very worst of this beef is behind us. 
But judging by Ari’s recent tweets, the dust might not have quite settled yet.

But what do you guys think?

Is it a good thing that Ari and Taina were partying together?

The Messy Truth About 21 Savage’s Love Triangle

Photo credit: 21 Savage/Instagram and Latto/Instagram

Latto and 21 Savage have been at the center of hip-hop’s most persistent romance rumors. 

Fans are convinced that the two are more than friends, and their detective work over the years has been relentless. 

Are 21 Savage And Latto In A Relationship? 

But now, there are also rumors of a love triangle.

So what exactly is going on?

Latto has always kept her love life pretty private.

She’s dropped hints about her partner’s identity but never confirmed anything.

Fans, meanwhile, believe that she’s been in a relationship with 21 Savage for about four years.

A bunch of clues have been offered that seem to paint a picture of what’s been going on, but Latto’s always insisted on keeping things under wraps.

21 Savage And Latto’s Dating Rumors

The wild rumors all started in 2020.

Fans’ obsession with Latto and 21 Savage began when they collaborated on the track Pull Up.

People commented on their obvious chemistry, not just in the song but also in public appearances.

Speculation about a romance took off.

Later that year, Latto celebrated her 22nd birthday in Puerto Rico.

She shared vacation photos on Instagram, and fans spotted a shadowy figure behind the camera.

Pretty much instantly, they were sure that it was 21 Savage.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed that her vacation backdrop looked like a video 21 Savage shared around the same time.

He claimed that he was in Miami, but fans weren’t buying it.

They pointed out that members of his entourage were spotted in Puerto Rico.

Rumors also swirled that 21 Savage had gifted Latto a pink Corvette for her birthday.

Latto Denies Dating 21 Savage

During an interview, Latto denied the claims and told fans to stop making up stories.

But her denials only seemed to fuel the fire.

Fans also became obsessed with Latto’s 777 chain.

They said it was a nod to 21 Savage since 7+7+7 equals 21.

Latto denied this, but the internet wasn’t convinced.

Fans Spot 21 Savage And Latto’s Telling Tattoos 

Then, in 2023, Latto’s tattoo behind her ear made headlines.

It read “Sheyaa,” which is actually 21 Savage’s real name.

This obviously sparked a frenzy online.

For a lot of fans, it was the confirmation that they’d been waiting for.

Not long after, fans spotted what seemed to be a tattoo behind 21 Savage’s ear reading “Alyssa,” which is Latto’s real name.

This only made the speculation surrounding them grow.

Latto’s Cryptic Instagram Post

In May, Latto teased fans with an Instagram post that actually seemed to be encouraging the gossip.

She shared a screenshot of her SIMS characters.

One looked like her, and the other resembled 21 Savage.

But there was more to the post, with one detail sending fans into meltdown.

The characters were having a baby.

Fans couldn’t decide if Latto was trolling them or hinting at something real.

Is 21 Savage Cheating On His Wife With Latto?

21 Savage, for his part, has kept quiet throughout the whole saga.

He’s made surprise appearances at some of Latto’s events, but he’s never addressed the rumors.

Obviously, his silence has only made fans more curious, as there’s a pretty glaring reason why 21 Savage might not want to talk much about this story.

Reports say that he is still legally married to Keyanna Joseph, the mother of two of his children, which has turned a simple relationship rumor into a full-blown love triangle for the rapper.

Latto Drops Bombshell

A few years ago, Latto dropped another bombshell during an interview with Fat Joe.

She admitted that she was in a relationship but didn’t name her partner.

Fans immediately assumed she was talking about 21 Savage.

Then came what fans saw as a huge slip-up.

21 Savage Posts Now-Deleted Photo Of Latto 

In February 2021, 21 Savage posted a photo of Latto on his Instagram story.

And the caption raised a lot of eyebrows.

The rapper wrote, “No makeup. […] You fine.”

He deleted it quickly, but not before fans took screenshots.

How 21 Savage’s Wife Keyanna Reacts To Cheating Rumors

Keyanna, his wife, has stayed out of the spotlight.

But her presence has made all the rumors even more complicated, and of course, more interesting for hip hop fans everywhere.

While most fans have been focused on 21 Savage and Latto, not many have stopped to think about how the rumors might be affecting Keyanna.

If true, she could be pretty devastated.

But if they really are together, Latto and 21 Savage have chosen to keep things as private as possible.

And while fans have kept trying to piece a puzzle together out of a bunch of clues over the years, the full picture remains a mystery.

Saweetie Denies Dating 21 Savage

But there are other hip hop stars who have had their say on this crazy tea.

Fellow rapper Saweetie also got recently pulled into the rumor mill.

On December 7, Saweetie took to Instagram to shut down claims that she was the one who was actually secretly dating 21 Savage.

In the comment section of a viral clip, she made her stance clear, saying that she had literally never met him.

Saweetie’s denial was pretty blunt, but it wasn’t the only thing she had to say on the subject.

Saweetie Throws Shade At Latto

Not only did she dismiss the rumors, but she also threw a subtle nod to Latto.

She wrote, “Go get some money & get off the internet BROKEYYYYYY.”

This definitely felt like a reference to Latto’s viral track Brokey.

A lot of fans thanked Saweetie for clearing the air.

One person also questioned whether Latto was actually even dating 21 Savage.

They asked, “Why do yall still believe that mess?” 

Another person wrote that Saweetie and Latto have no history of beef.

They’d even collaborated in the past.

They went on to add, “The internet yall gotta stop making up lies and running with them.” 

The truth is that despite all the rumors being around for years, Latto and 21 Savage have simply refused to address them.

Is Latto’s Song About 21 Savage?

However, Latto’s 2024 Sugar Honey Iced Tea album definitely raised some eyebrows. 

On the song Settle Down, Latto rapped about laying up with a savage, which fans obviously took as another hint.

Radio personality and presenter Ebro Darden asked Latto about the 21 Savage rumors during an interview they did in August 2024. 

And Latto had no problem sharing her take on the gossip.

She said that the place to start when talking about this was that the Internet doesn’t know a thing.

She added that she liked being private, and that her life was nobody else’s business.

Instead, she encouraged fans to listen to the music and you’ll know what you need to know.

Will 21 Savage And Latto Confirm Dating Rumors?

So, although she seemed to suggest that the online rumors were based on nothing, her call for fans to figure it out in her songs hints that there’s more that Latto wants to share.

Latto’s history of public feuds, like her dust-ups with Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj, shows that she’s not afraid to speak her mind.

But when it comes to 21 Savage, she’s apparently chosen silence – or at least, she’s stayed pretty cryptic about the whole thing.

Fans wonder if her silence is part of a strategy or if there’s simply nothing to confirm.

The crazy truth about 21 Savage’s love triangle is that for all we know, it might not even exist.

But in the world of hip-hop, the truth can be pretty hard to pin down.

The rumors, denials, and wild posts have helped tell a story that fans can’t resist.

For now, the mystery continues.

And as long as there’s speculation, this love triangle, real or not, will continue to make fans wonder.

But what do you guys think?

Is there any truth to this rumor?

Cher’s Family is Worried About Her Younger Boyfriend Alexander

Photo credit: Cher/Instagram and ae4president/Instagram

Is Cher’s relationship with Alexander Edwards a sham?

That’s what some of her family members are apparently worried about.

The Daily Mail recently touched base with some of Cher’s family to talk about her relationship with Alexander.

Red Flags In Cher And Alexander Edwards’ Relationship 

And let’s just say that they’re seeing red flags everywhere.

The first red flag is pretty obvious.

Alexander is only 38 years old, while Cher is 78.

RELATED: Exposing Richard Gere’s 33-year Age Gap Marriage

Now, while age might just be a number to some people, in a high-profile relationship, it tends to matter a little more.

Older men get a lot of attention when they date a woman who is way younger than them.

That attention can be both negative and positive, but for the most part, people eventually move on from it.

Cher and Alexander, however, have been making headlines all the time.

It’s a big deal pretty much every time they’re seen together.

It’s almost like the media can’t believe that an older woman is capable of snagging someone younger.

Or they think that she should somehow be ashamed of it.

In many cases, a 40-year age gap could be a cause for concern.

How Did Cher And Alexander Edwards Meet? 

If Cher had known Alexander when he was younger, then there might be some concerns about grooming.

She didn’t, though, and they met each other through innocent means.

There wasn’t some nefarious force pushing them together.

They met, connected, and they have been enjoying each other’s company since.

Cher’s Son Chaz Has Issues With Mother’s Relationship With Alexander 

Still, Cher’s family is a little grossed out by the age gap.

There is one particular aspect that is a little icky when it comes to the age gap.

Cher’s son, Chaz, is 55 years old.

So, she’s technically dating someone who is younger than her son.

He’s allegedly the one who has some problems with the relationship, and considering that Alexander is younger than him, those problems may be a little valid.

It’s a little strange, at the very least.

Cher Admits Age Difference Causes Problems In Relationship

Even Cher said that the age difference sometimes causes problems with communication.

She explained on The Howard Stern Show that there will be times when she’s talking about a person, and he has no idea who she’s talking about.

He simply wasn’t alive during that time, so he couldn’t really know who that person was.

So, she’ll be talking about some person and making all these references, and it will just go completely over his head.

That’s a little bit of a red flag right there.

When you don’t have the same references because you were both born several decades apart, then that can be a problem.

It makes it harder to bond over certain things.

While there are always new things to bond over, I imagine that there are moments when Cher wants to reminisce about the past.

But she can’t really do that with Alexander because he never lived through that time.

He can’t really contribute to the conversation.

Cher Speaks Out About Her Skills In The Bedroom 

Now, while conversation may be hard between them, something else is likely what’s keeping them together, and Cher essentially alluded to it during her interview.

When Howard asked if men expected a great time when being intimate with Cher, she said yes, they did, and it was because it was true.

She said that she considered herself very skilled when it came to bedroom activities, and she added that the proof was on their faces.

Cher also shared that there were very few men who left her because she was just that good.

The Actor Who Broke Up With Cher

One who did manage to leave her was Val Kilmer, who she dated for two years.

Interestingly, Val was 14 years younger than Cher when they dated.

So, it seems like Cher may enjoy being the older one in the relationship.

Despite being madly in love with Val, the couple called it quits after Val broke up with her.

Most of her other boyfriends and husbands, however, didn’t.

Why Did Cher Break Up With Tom Cruise? 

She was the one who broke up with them.

She broke up with Tom Cruise, for example, who she also dated for a short time.

He was 16 years younger than her.

So it seems like Cher has a type.

That begs the question–what’s the problem with her dating Alexander if she has a history of dating younger men?

What’s really going on here?

Well, it’s probably not just the age difference that’s making the family unhappy.

It’s also the money.

Will Cher Release Another Album?

Cher is getting closer to retirement.

Her last original album was released back in 2013, and according to The Sun, Cher said that her next album was very likely going to be her last.

She was at London’s Lyceum Theatre when she made the announcement.

At the time, she was promoting her memoir, but when asked about future music, she basically said that she was getting too old to keep making music.

She even called herself older than dirt.

So, she felt that this next album that she was working on was going to be the last.

Cher hasn’t been sad about putting an end to her music career, though.

She claimed that the album had a lot of great songs, and she was really excited to be making it.

Will Cher And Alexander Edwards Make An Album Together?

That’s bittersweet news for Cher fans, but how does this link back to Alexander?

Well, she and Alexander are working on an album together.

Originally, Alexander was just going to make an album, but then Cher decided that she wanted to collaborate with him on it.

The problem here is that she gave him full creative control over it, and that means that Alexander can get a lot of financial rights to the album.

The family is worried that if this is Cher’s last album, then Alexander is going to get most of the money.

They want that money to go to Cher.

Is Alexander Edwards Using Cher?

I’ll admit there’s a little bit of a red flag here because it feels like there might be some exploitation happening.

Alexander isn’t as big as Cher, although he has been making music for a while.

Tying himself to Cher, however, means that his music is going to fly off the shelves.

He could be using her as a platform that he can jump off of and really make his career soar.

Cher’s family doesn’t want her to be used that way, and that’s fair.

They also likely just want to make sure that most of that money is going to go to her estate, too.

Because that means that they’re going to get more money to split between them.

Considering this might be Cher’s last album, they fully expect it to sell really well, too.

If Alexander is getting most of that money, then they’re really missing out.

Cher has also assured her family in the past that Alexander isn’t using her for fame or money.

Yet, this album collaboration sort of looks like that.

It’d be one thing if he was just making an album with her, but it’s sort of questionable that she’s also giving him full creative control and financial benefits from it.

Cher’s Son Feels She’ll Add Alexander To Her Will

There’s another red flag that her family is seeing, too.

Chaz, especially, seems to believe that his mom intends to add Alexander to her will.

She hasn’t gone through with that plan yet, but allegedly, it’s something that she’s seriously thinking about.

Now, this might be a red flag in the sense that it could definitely be a strategy that Alexander is using to get easy money.

If he’s the one pushing her to get him on her will, then that’s not okay.

Cher isn’t telling whether Alexander has asked to be in the will or not, though.

Chaz definitely doesn’t want that to happen because that means that there’s a chance that most of her money will go to her latest boyfriend rather than her family.

Now, I think Cher might have enough money to go around.

Chaz is still going to get plenty of money once his mom passes away, so he may need to relax a little bit with all this will stuff.

Did Alexander Edwards Cheat On Cher?

The thing that everyone should be looking at when it comes to Alexander is his history of infidelity.

Alexander was with Amber Rose before Cher.

He even shares a son with her.

However, after being together for three years, Amber announced that they had broken up in a depressing post.

She posted a long and angry rant on social media about how Alexander had cheated on her.

She basically wrote that she was tired of being cheated on and being embarrassed behind the scenes.

So, it sounded like Alexander had allegedly cheated on her quite a few times.

Cher has already been through this sort of heartbreak.

Her ex-husband, Sonny Bono, was a notorious womanizer.

So, if there’s any serious red flag in this relationship, it’s the fact that he has a history of cheating.

But what do you guys think?

Is Alexander out to get Cher’s money and use her to jumpstart his career?

Are they really in love?

Do you consider the age difference to be a red flag?

Let me know what you think in the comments!

Remy Ma Exposes Papoose for Cheating

The drama between Remy Ma and Papoose has taken another shocking twist.

Did Papoose Cheat On Remy Ma With Claressa Shields?

Once celebrated as relationship goals, the former couple is now stuck in an ugly battle over allegations of cheating.

Here’s what’s been happening in their increasingly messy feud.

Remy recently accused Papoose of cheating on her with boxer Claressa Shields.

According to Remy, she found incriminating messages on Papoose’s phone that exposed his relationship with Claressa.

The texts revealed more than just friendly exchanges, painting a clear picture of an affair.

Papoose Fires Back At Remy Ma’s Cheating Allegations

Papoose hasn’t remained quiet, though.

He fired back by bringing up the now-infamous alleged affair that Remy has been having with another rapper.

Papoose alleged that Remy had been involved with battle rapper Eazy The Block Captain for a shocking two years.

While Remy’s dirty laundry got aired online, Papoose seemed to have already moved on.

Papoose And Claressa Shields’ Relationship

The rapper was soon linked to Claressa.

And it’s been reported that the boxer now wants to take their relationship to the next level.

It’s been claimed that she wants them to go official and is ready to be Papoose’s girlfriend.

Since she’s taking their supposed relationship so seriously, it’s no wonder that she’s made her feelings about Remy very clear.

Claressa Shields And Remy Ma’s Beef

Claressa hasn’t been shy about clapping back at Remy on social media, further escalating the tension between her and Papoose.

The feud spilled onto Instagram, with both Remy and Papoose exchanging some wild insults and accusations in their stories.

Remy shared screenshots of the text messages between Papoose and Claressa, mocking him for falling asleep while on the phone with the boxer.

In one post, Remy also called out Claressa, saying that she hung up as soon as she heard Remy’s voice.

Papoose responded by calling Remy a narcissist and accusing her of clout-chasing on social media.

He claimed that he’d been trying to end their marriage quietly, but that Remy clearly preferred to make their issues public.

Claressa also got involved, accusing Remy of acting childish for her age.

She wrote in a tweet, “I can’t believe a 45-year-old woman is crashing out like this.”

But things soon got even more intense.

Remy accused Papoose of physically attacking her in their garage while contractors were working on their pool, and she claimed that this incident was why the pool was never finished.

Papoose has denied Remy’s allegations.

Eazy The Block Captain Calls Out Papoose 

Eazy, the battle rapper linked to Remy, has also now entered the feud.

And what he said was just as wild as everything else that’s been claimed lately.

He stated that Papoose discovered their relationship by bugging Remy’s car.

According to Eazy, Papoose used the recordings to confirm the affair.

Eazy also addressed the rumors of a fight between him and Papoose at a rap battle.

Papoose claimed that he knocked Eazy out and left him on the ground, which Eazy denied.

He insisted that he never hit the ground and accused Papoose of sucker punching him.

Fat Joe Speaks Out On Remy Ma And Papoose Drama 

So many people closely involved in the drama have been shockingly blunt in telling their side.

It’s no wonder the beef has gotten so much attention.

And now, other hip hop stars have even gotten involved.

Fat Joe, a close friend to both Remy and Papoose, has opened up about the situation.

As the godfather to their young daughter, Fat Joe said that he feels like he’s in a difficult position.

On My Expert Opinion, he said, “What I can’t do is stop it. They won’t listen to me.”

Fat Joe’s words showed the impact this feud is having on their family, especially their daughter.

Did Claressa Write A Diss Track About Remy Ma?

The situation has reached a point where fans are now calling for diss tracks.

But the first one to take aim might come as a shock.

A video surfaced showing Claressa rapping and seemingly taking shots at Remy.

Fans are desperate to see if Remy will respond with a diss track of her own.

Remy Ma Denies Cheating Allegations

Remy, however, has been kept busy defending herself online.

She has denied having two boyfriends, which was one of the claims made by Claressa during their heated exchanges.

Instead, she called out Claressa for trying to paint herself as the victim.

Will Claressa Shields Fight Remy Ma? 

But Claressa has made it clear that if Remy doesn’t want to settle their differences on the mic, she’s more than happy to try other ways.

And what she suggested was crazy.

Claressa invited Remy to settle their differences in the boxing ring.

She taunted Remy in a now-deleted post in which she challenged her to a match on February 2nd.

Remy has still not responded to the challenge, but the idea of their feud turning into an actual fight has fans buzzing.

The more Remy avoids engaging with Claressa, the more fans are siding against her.

Why Remy Ma Faced Backlash For Rap Battle

Remy has faced an insane amount of criticism online ever since the infamous rap battle that seemed to spell the end of her relationship with Papoose.

In a video that has since gone viral, Remy looked a little hot under the spotlight during a battle between Eazy and Geechi Gotti last year.

While these were the two men rapping, it was Remy who probably got the most attention as she stood between them.

Geechi Gotti made some shocking statements in his bars about his opponent’s relationship with Remy.

She was actually accused of cheating on Papoose with Eazy.

In fact, Geechi alleged that he had signed an NDA so that he couldn’t mention that Papoose had actually punched Eazy and sent him to the hospital when he found out.

The crowd and viewers watching online went insane when the claims were made.

Remy Ma Reacts To Geechi Gotti’s Allegations      

What was striking about it was Remy’s reaction to what she heard.

The usually outspoken rapper was strangely quiet in the face of Geechi’s comments.

When the battle ended prematurely, Remy was cornered by paparazzi outside, where she was questioned about what had been said.

And once again, she was unusually restrained in her feedback.

She just kind of shrugged and said that it was what rap battles were all about.

For a lot of fans, this was enough to confirm that Geechi had been telling the truth in his bars.

Remy Ma Speaks Out And Apologizes To Fans 

The story took over the internet, and Remy soon shared a longer response to what had been said about her.

She took to X to first apologize to fans who were disappointed that they couldn’t get 3 full rounds from both rappers, insisting that she had tried.

From there, she immediately went on the defensive.

She wrote, “And can y’all please STOP with the Eazy & Pap LIES.”

But it seemed weird to a lot of the viewers that it took her so long to actually come out and deny the accusations.

Before that tweet, she seemed to be taking extra care not to draw any attention to the claims, either to confirm or deny them.

Remy said, “I never cheated on anybody. So I don’t know what y’all are talking about.”

Many fans were amazed that Remy was still trying to deny the rumors after so much had come about about her and Eazy.

But now that Remy’s fired back with cheating allegations of her own, it looks like she’s decided to fight fire with fire.

What happens next, literally no one knows.

But what do you guys think?

What’s your opinion on this whole feud?

Whose side are you on?

Let me know in the comments below.

Nelly and Ashanti’s New Docuseries Revealed

Photo credit: Ashanti/Instagram

Ever since the rumors first started spreading that Ashanti and Nelly were getting back together, the couple have been getting a lot of media attention.

What Will Nelly And Ashanti’s Docuseries Be About?

All eyes are on their relationship, which makes it the perfect opportunity to get people interested in watching a show about their lives. 

Deadline reported the news that the pair are releasing a docuseries that will follow their journey into parenthood together, and it will reportedly document their upcoming wedding, too.

The outlet claimed that Peacock is the network that the show will air on. 

And not only will Ashanti and Nelly be starring in the show, but they’re also producing it, along with Jenny Daly and Oji Singletary at Critical Content Studios.

Critical Content is the same company that was responsible for Sly on Netflix and Catfish on MTV.

The production for the show reportedly began filming a few months ago, so probably not that long after Ashanti gave birth to the couple’s son, Kareem Kenkaide Haynes.

He was born on July 18, 2024.

The Truth About Nelly And Ashanti’s Relationship

The news of the docuseries comes as a surprise for some people, because in the past, the couple have always fiercely guarded the details of their relationship.

According to HELLO Magazine, Ashanti and Nelly were originally an item between 2003 and 2013, and during that time, they famously kept denying that they were even together.

It was only after the breakup that they started to admit they used to be in a relationship.

But this time around, things seem different.

And though they’ve still tried to keep parts of their relationship under wraps, they’ve also been more open about it than ever before.

What Reality TV Shows Did Nelly Star In? 

The upcoming show won’t be the first time that Nelly has starred in a reality TV program. 

He was on BET’s Nellyville back in 2014. 

The show ran for 2 seasons and followed the lives of Nelly, his ex, Shantel Jackson, and his four children.

He also made some appearances on the mockumentary Real Husbands of Hollywood, playing himself. 

And in 2020, he came in 3rd place on the 29th season of Dancing with the Stars.

Nelly has also tried his hand at acting, with roles like Earl Megget in The Longest Yard and Terrence Davis in CSI: New York.

While Ashanti hasn’t appeared in a reality show that follows her life before, she has made several guest appearances on shows like RuPaul’s Drag Race, The $100,000 Pyramid, I Can See Your Voice, and To Tell the Truth.

Will Nelly And Ashanti Survive The Reality TV Curse? 

When whispers of a docuseries first started to spread in the summer of 2024, there were some who were worried that the reality TV curse that’d affected other famous couples could get them.

But a report by COLLIDER looked at the different reasons why many believe that the couple will survive the program.

The article’s writer claimed that the two singers’ relationship had a “firm foundation,” since they were previously together for ten years.

She also wrote that each of them has a strong career outside of reality TV, with both of them still releasing music and going on tours around the world. 

The article alleged that the reality TV curse often affected couples who were newcomers to fame and couldn’t handle the challenges that came along with that.

But, of course, Ashanti and Nelly have been in the limelight for more than 20 years now, and they are well aware of the highs and lows that they may face.

Is Ashanti Pregnant Again? 

The news about the upcoming TV show isn’t the only reason why people have been talking about Ashanti and Nelly these days, though.

There’s been a lot of speculation brewing about something that could be going on in their personal lives.

In November 2024, sources told The Jasmine Brand that Ashanti was expecting another baby. 

If the rumor is true, then that would mean the unborn baby would be Ashanti’s 2nd child and Nelly’s sixth.

He has two biological children from a previous relationship, and in 2004, he also adopted his sister’s two kids after she tragically passed away from an illness.

Bossip later reported that a journalist named Damon Arnold asked the couple a personal question while they were on the red carpet for Nelly’s annual Black & White Charity Ball.

He brought up how the speculation on whether Ashanti was pregnant first began at the same event in 2023, and he then directly asked them if they were expecting another one. 

How Nelly And Ashanti Responded To Second Pregnancy Rumors 

And a few social media users thought that their answers were a little telling.

Because Ashanti immediately smiled and told the journalist not to “do that.”

And Nelly simply grinned and said: “I’mma stay quiet.”

Other social media users jumped on the 2nd baby bandwagon after watching a performance the couple did together on New Year’s Eve, according to The Shade Room. 

At one point during the show, Nelly saw Ashanti with a drink and jokingly asked her what she was doing with it and what exactly was in the beverage.

Ashanti told everyone watching that it was just water.

Social Media Users Claim Ashanti Is Pregnant Again 

If that wasn’t enough of an eyebrow-raiser, a lot of people also commented on how Ashanti kept rubbing her belly during the performance. 

The comment section on The Shade Room’s Instagram post about the performance was filled with claims that Ashanti must be pregnant.

One person wrote that they thought that they saw a “bump rub.”

Another commented that her “bump was bumping.”

A third user predicted that the question Nelly asked about what Ashanti was drinking meant that she definitely had a bun in the oven.

Nelly Speaks Out About Donald Trump

But the pair haven’t only been getting positive comments on social media these days.

At least Nelly hasn’t. 

Because a CBS News report revealed that he was performing at Donald Trump’s Inaugural Liberty Ball on January 20. 

A lot of people were surprised by his decision to perform for the Republican president, given that he’d never voiced his support for Donald Trump in the past. 

In 2017, the famous rapper told Page Six that he used to like Donald Trump, but he just didn’t like him as his president.

Nelly said: “He doesn’t surprise me as a person, he surprises me as a president because you don’t expect certain things, certain attitudes.”

He also claimed that he “was more or less mad at him” because he couldn’t stay at his hotels anymore when he was touring on the road. 

He even told him to ‘get it together.”

Social Media Users Blast Nelly For Performing At Donald Trump’s Inaugural Liberty Ball

When The Shade Room announced the news of Nelly’s performance in an Instagram post, a lot of the platform’s users filled the comments section with their critiques.

One person wrote: “We helped you get Ashanti back and this is how you repay us.”

Another user commented that it was extremely disappointing, especially since the performance was taking place on Martin Luther King Day.

Ashanti Speaks Out About Her Dream Wedding 

The docuseries Nelly and Ashanti have been working on is said to be covering the lead-up to their highly-anticipated wedding.

Though Ashanti hasn’t given too many details about the wedding, she did let some things slip during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

When reporter Deidre Behar asked her if she thought that it would happen sooner rather than later, she said yes.

And she revealed that she knew which month she wanted to get married in, but she wasn’t ready to say yet.

Deidre also wanted to know if she’d thought about what kind of wedding she’d like to have – if it was going to be something big and extravagant, or something more low-key.

Ashanti shared that it was going to be a combination of fashion, glam, and Caribbean vibes. 

One of the most important requirements for her was that it took place on a beach with palm trees, next to the ocean, in the sunshine. 

Nelly And Ashanti Confirm Engagement And Wedding Rumors

So, it’s clear that she and Nelly were already planning for their special day.

Just a day after the ET interview came out, TMZ published some surprising news that the couple had been keeping a secret from the public.

The outlet claimed that though Ashanti and Nelly had admitted that they were engaged and planning to have a wedding, they were actually already married by that point. 

According to public records, the duo were legally wed on December 27, 2023.

The document didn’t reveal exactly where they’d gotten hitched, but it became official in St. Louis County, so TMZ predicted that they must’ve tied the knot in Nelly’s hometown.

The Disturbing Truth About Russell Simmons

Photo credit: Uncle Rush/Instagram

Russell Simmons has tried to keep a low profile for years.

But that hasn’t stopped the shocking allegations against him from spreading far and wide. 

Russell Simmons Served Lawsuit In Bali Home

In fact, the former music exec even fled the country to escape the stories that might have brought down his whole legacy.

In March of this year, it was reported that Russell had been served a lawsuit in his new home in Bali. 

A server traveled all the way to the Indonesian island, going through two security checkpoints, to find and serve the Def Jam co-founder. 

It reportedly took over an hour for the dedicated server to track Russell down. 

The lawsuit was filed by former music executive Drew Dixon.

She was suing Russell for defamation after his negligence of her harm claims against him. 

Terry Crews Makes Accusations Against Russell Simmons 

But Drew is not the only one to make serious accusations about Russell. 

Back in 2017, he was called out by none other than Terry Crews. 

Terry described him as an SA empathizer and also showed some shocking receipts to back this up. 

Terry had previously claimed that he himself had been touched inappropriately by WME agent Adam Venit. 

Following his claim, he shared screenshots of a conversation between him and Russell which showed exactly whose side Russell was on. 

The screenshots showed Russell asking Terry to give Adam a “pass” for what he had done. 

This proved to be the beginning of the end for Russell’s public life in the US. 

Russell Simmons’ Alleged Victim Recounts Assault 

The allegations against him have grown more and more shocking since. 

He was then accused, along with director Brett Ratner, of joining up to coerce women.

One of their alleged victims stated that she was convinced to go back to an apartment with both men when she was just 17 years old. 

After that came the beginning of Drew’s accusations. 

She made claims that in 1995, Russell harmed her in the most horrific manner. 

Russell Simmons Speaks Out Against Alleged Victim

She went on to allege that since then, Russell has conducted a campaign against her to discredit her story. 

Russell claimed that Drew was desperate for fame. 

For years after that, he seemed determined to ignore the accusations against him. 

Then, in 2023, he opened up about them in an interview with Graham Bensinger. 

He claimed to have taken 9 separate lie detector tests to confirm his story. 

Drew Dixon Convinces Court To Doubt Russell Simmons’ Claims

Drew, however, has not stayed quiet on her end.

After Russell left the US to live in Indonesia, he claimed that he couldn’t now be sued in a New York court due to being a stateless citizen who had retired to Bali. 

But Drew claimed that the executive was running from the jurisdiction to avoid any accountability for his alleged crimes. 

She went on to say that the court should seriously doubt Russell’s claims. 

And after what happened earlier this year, it seems that they might have listened to her. 

Usher Faces Backlash For Visiting Russell Simmons 

During his time in Bali, Russell has not been short of company.

A few months ago, R&B superstar Usher came in for some negative criticism after he decided to take a trip to visit him.

The Source reported that the megastar received backlash online after he was spotted enjoying yoga with the disgraced music mogul.

Their meet-up was captured and shared on Instagram Stories, according to the Daily Mail. 

In the clip, which was set to a song by Beyonce, Usher was seen taking part in some exercise and meditation in Russell’s Indonesian home. 

Russell Celebrates Usher’s Friendship 

The footage was first shared on Russell’s own Instagram, where he went on to celebrate what Usher’s friendship meant to him.

The video appeared to show Russell leading the yoga class that the singer was taking part in along with dozens of others, according to the Mail.

The Grammy winner was joined on his trip by his wife, Jennifer Goicoechea, who he married in Las Vegas following his Super Bowl performance. 

In the time since the accusations against Russell were made public, he has gone on record about the friendship he continues to share with Usher. 

He said that when he was at the lowest point in his life, Usher was still by his side. 

He went on to say, “I had known Usher since he was a kid but we really bonded because of our mutual love for self discovery.”

He added that they shared a “belief in Yogic science as a direct route to realizing God’s consciousness in ourselves.”

Russell also talked about how Usher’s friendship, which continued after the allegations, had affected him emotionally. 

He told people to remember that “a friend walks in when others walk out”, and said that he would never forget Usher’s “generosity of spirit” at that time. 

Social Media Users Speak Out About Usher Visiting Russell Simmons 

After the post was shared across the Internet, many people were quick to voice their disapproval at Usher’s continued association with Russell. 

One user wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, “He should’ve not been in Bali with Russell Simmons.”

Another user said that Usher having pictures taken with Russell at the yoga class was definitely a choice. 

They went on to suggest that it was very unlikely that the singer was unaware of the allegations made against his friend. 

Usher also posed with many others during his Bali trip, including his new wife.

And he also took some more selfies with Russell in his house. 

Ming Lee Throws Shade At Father Russell Simmons 

But although some A-listers are still willing to see Russell, there are plenty of other people who he might have burned his bridges with. 

Shockingly, some of those people are his own family members. 

Last year, his own daughters, Ming and Aoki, hit headlines after a spat within the family allegedly put a strain on their relationship.

Us Weekly reported in June of last year that the drama started with a Father’s Day snub before turning into a social media brawl. 

It started after Ming posted a tribute to their mom, Kimora Lee Simmons, on Father’s Day, which was described as a subtle shading of her father.

Along with the picture of her mom, Ming wrote: Happy Father’s Day.

After Ming shared her post, Russell wrote on social media, “Stop telling fathers they should have fought harder to see their children and start asking mothers why he had to fight at all.”

Aoki Lee Blasts Father Russell Simmons 

Soon after, Ming’s sister Aoki joined the online feud to defend her sister and attack her dad. 

She released a series of heated text messages between her and Russell in an exchange that took place the day before.

Along with the texts, she also shared an emotional video on Instagram in which she explained the family drama. 

In the caption of the clip, she wrote, “My father is not well, for years, he needs help and won’t accept that he refuses to acknowledge he is not himself”. 

She went on to allege that Russell had threatened and bullied her sister, as well as her grandma, who she claimed Russell had harassed in the middle of the night.

Aoki even alleged that her dad had sent a man to her sister’s apartment at 2 a.m. to scare her. 

Us Magazine reported that Aoki claimed that Russell had threatened her career. 

Aoki said that Russell told her that she would never get a job in fashion again if she spoke out against him. 

But with Russell himself now potentially facing jail time for his supposed crimes, his power and influence look like they’ve been seriously weakened.

Russell Simmons’ Lawsuit Update

Ever since the first SA lawsuit against him came out in 2017, Russell Simmons has found himself in a lot of legal trouble.

Over the years, more and more cases have been popping up, and he’s now been accused of inappropriate behavior by over 20 women.

Russell was forced to step down from many of his high-power positions, including his role at Def Jam Recordings.

Russell Simmons Failed To Pay $3 Million To Accusers 

He later retreated from the public eye and reportedly moved to Bali, Indonesia, which some suspect was an attempt to escape his legal troubles.

But what’s going on with his lawsuits these days?

A recent report by Variety revealed that Russell did not keep to his end of multiple agreements that he’d made.

According to court documents, he failed to pay $3 million to three women that he’d reached settlements with. 

Though the documents didn’t specify why they’d reached the settlements originally, one of the women has publicly accused the business mogul of harming her. 

They all entered into the confidential settlement agreements in November 2023, and Russell reportedly had until the first of October 2024 to pay the women.

But that date came and went, and they did not get a single dime out of him.

He was meant to be compensating them for ‘alleged personal, physical injuries, and sickness.’

The documents revealed that Russell owed two of the women, Sherri Abernathy and Sil Lai Abrams, $1,265,000 each. 

And he was supposed to give the other woman, Wendy Carolina Franco, $515,000.

Russell Simmons’ Accusers Speak Out 

Though he’d agreed to pay those amounts, he reportedly never confessed to the allegations against him in the settlements. 

The three women filed confessions of judgment in the New York County Supreme Court, which would mean that they can begin the collections process if there’s a default.

Sil first wrote about how Russell harmed her in a book she wrote in 2007 titled No More Drama, but she did not name him.

Then, in 2020, she wrote an article for the Hollywood Reporter and directly accused Russell of hurting her back in 1994.

She claimed that the incident led to her attempting to take her own life at one point, which she nearly didn’t survive. 

Sil later appeared in an HBO documentary called On The Record, which was about Black women in the world of hip-hop and the shocking experiences they faced in the industry.

The most recent allegation against Russell came out at the start of 2024.

Vibe reported that a music producer who used to work for Def Jam Recordings in the ‘90s accused the label’s co-founder of having his way with her on his bed in Manhattan.

She anonymously filed a lawsuit under New York’s Adult Survivors Act and the New York City Gender Motivated Violence Act.

Alleged Victim Told Russell To ‘Get Off’ And ‘Stop’ Several Times

In the lawsuit, she alleged that she rejected his advances and told him to ‘get off’ and ‘stop’ several times.

But she claimed that she was forcefully pinned and could not move under Russel’s weight and he would not listen to her.

The Jane Doe criticized Russell in a new court filing where she asked a judge not to accept his recent claims, according to Rolling Stone.

The millionaire entrepreneur had alleged that he cannot be sued in federal court in New York because he’s retired in Indonesia and therefore is a ‘stateless’ American citizen.

The court filing alleged that Russell was running from the court’s jurisdiction to avoid taking accountability for his actions.

The woman encouraged the court to question how truthful Russel’s claims were that he’d sold all of his properties in the US in 2021 and was completely residing in Bali under a retirement visa.

The Jane Doe revealed that in September 2023, Russell had sat for a limited remote deposition in her case.

According to her, he confessed that he hadn’t retired.

He was working in the US and still had ties to New York.

She also made the claim that her alleged attacker testified that he was also paying the lease on a Manhattan apartment for his daughters and that he’d kept an office space in New York for his company, Russell Simmons TV. 

The woman’s latest filing alleged that the record label founder had testified that he was building a business empire and needed a partner for his current projects, but he did not have success in his active efforts in Dubai and Singapore because of the morality clauses required by those countries.

The lawyers who filed the court documents wrote: “Actively building an empire means that the defendant is ineligible for a retirement visa in Indonesia.”

Russell Simmons’ Cryptic Response 

Something else that the Jane Doe argued in her filing was that Russell had done an interview in 2024 where he claimed that he still referred to the US as his ‘home.’

When speaking to AllHipHop, he said: “People saying that I somehow can’t come home when I’m there all the time wears on you.”

So, what was he talking about exactly?

Russell was addressing the loud whispers about how he’d left the States in order to avoid the legal mess he’d found himself in.

He told the outlet that there was no truth to that, and he shared that it wore on him after a while to keep hearing that same narrative.

He revealed that he was always in L.A., New York, and Miami, and he’d never had any reason to feel unsafe in the US.

Russell’s Celeb Friends Face Backlash 

Complex reported on how Russell wasn’t the only one drawing criticism from the public.

Some of his celebrity friends faced backlash too when it came out that they’d been to visit him in Bali.

In March 2024, the supposedly retired mogul got paid a visit by one of the biggest names in the music industry.

Usher was in Southeast Asia on his honeymoon and decided to surprise Russell, who he’s reportedly known since he was very young.

Russell shared an Instagram post with pictures of their hangout.

He captioned it by saying that when he was at the lowest point in his life, he woke up and found Usher sitting by his bed.

He claimed that he had known the R&B singer since he was a kid, but they really bonded because of their mutual love for self-discovery and their belief in Yogic science as a direct route to realizing God’s consciousness in themselves.

He finished the post by writing: “I will never forget the generosity of spirit I witnessed in this man. God bless you baby bro.”

A lot of online users commented on how it was super strange to see them together.

Some of them pointed out how it was weird that Usher didn’t want to distance himself from Russell.

Especially since he’d already found himself linked to producer Lil Rod’s lawsuit against Diddy.

He made the allegation that a singer, who perfectly fit Usher’s description, had an intimate relationship with Diddy and that the pair of them were involved with a 3rd man.

A few months after Usher’s visit to Bali, Russell welcomed another famous guest – Taraji P. Henson.

He also made an Instagram post about her coming to see him, and wrote that she made everyone happy just with her presence and that he loved her.

Russell Simmons Said ‘… Don’t Attack My Friends For Visiting Me’

His celebrity visitors received a lot of backlash for their trips to Indonesia, so much so that Russell felt the need to tell online haters to back off.

According to Complex, he shared a video on social media saying that he didn’t want his friends attacked.

He said: “Just leave my friends alone. Don’t attack my friends for visiting me.”

Russell went on to talk about the accusations against him. 

He insisted that he’d never spoken to the police about the alleged crimes, or even to a judge. 

He claimed that presidents Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump all had more credible claims against them than he did. 

Then he brought up the topic of how some people believed that he was escaping his troubles in the US by settling down in Bali.

And he said that the idea that he was hiding was ‘stupid.’

How Nelly Proposed to Ashanti

Photo credit: Ashanti/Instagram

Ashanti and Nelly’s relationship has been full of ups and downs over the years.

But their love story reached a peak in 2023.

The couple – who first began dating in 2003, broke up, and then reunited years later – got engaged in a quiet moment that took Ashanti completely by surprise. 

Ashanti Reveals Details How Nelly Proposed To Her 

In 2024, Ashanti shared the details of how Nelly proposed to her, revealing how it all happened in a way that was so simple and sweet. 

Nelly decided to make his proposal a private and intimate occasion. 

Ashanti explained that Nelly’s proposal happened when the two were at home, just relaxing together away from prying eyes.

It was just the two of them in the comfort of their bedroom. 

She described how she was not at all dressed up in anything fancy, simply wearing a pair of Nelly’s boxers and one of his T-shirts.

She later said that she felt that she couldn’t have been less prepared for what was about to happen. 

Ashanti said in an interview, “It was just such a beautiful, intimate moment. We were not dressy.” 

The surprise was so huge that Ashanti said that she just didn’t see it coming at all. 

Although she suspected that a proposal might come soon, she had no idea when or how it would happen. 

Ashanti revealed that when Nelly got down on one knee and asked her to marry him, she was overwhelmed with emotions. 

She wasn’t expecting the moment, but it quickly became one of the happiest of her life.

Ashanti said, “The way it happened was just so funny.” 

She was sitting in bed, casually watching TV, completely unaware of what was about to happen. 

Then, Nelly proposed.

Immediately, she burst into tears of happiness and gave him a big hug and kiss.

She recalled that she was just overjoyed.

Ashanti said that she was shocked and happy all at the same time.

Clearly, it was a big moment for her.

When Did Nelly And Ashanti Get Married?

The couple had been on and off for nearly a decade before spectacularly reuniting in 2023. 

Their engagement was a moment of celebration after a long journey. 

As for their wedding plans, Ashanti has been thinking ahead. 

The couple actually got married in December 2023, but the news didn’t reach the public until several months later.

They also have allegedly been making plans for a bigger event that will actually involve all their friends and family, even though they’ve technically been married for a while now.

Ashanti Envisions Her Dream Wedding

Ashanti has an idea of how she sees their big day going, although she’s not quite ready to share all the details. 

She revealed that she’s been dreaming about a wedding with a combination of fashion, glam, and Caribbean vibes. 

She has always imagined a beach setting, with the ocean, sunshine, and palm trees as part of the backdrop. 

Ashanti did, however, share that she would prefer to have the wedding after she had their baby. 

When Did Ashanti Have Her Baby? 

Their baby son was born last summer, leaving the couple free and clear to tie the knot whenever they’re ready.

Before their son arrived, Ashanti said that both she and Nelly were super busy.

Their baby was on his way, and because of that, everything else had to wait.

Ashanti Speaks Out On Relationship With Nelly 

The couple has been through a lot together, and right now, Ashanti believes that their relationship is stronger than ever. 

She said, “The growth has been, like, superb, you know, like on both ends.” 

The couple has had to overcome plenty of challenges in the past.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Ashanti opened up about the aftermath of their past breakup. 

She said that she didn’t think that they would ever have a conversation again after they split. 

But looking back now, Ashanti sees a world of difference between their relationship then and their relationship now.

She explained that before, they would sometimes argue.

Then, one of them would walk out, slam the door, and refuse to speak to the other one for days.

But things are different now. 

This time around, they are both more grounded and better equipped to handle whatever comes their way. 

Where Did Nelly And Ashanti Meet?

They first met in 2003 at a Grammys press conference and quickly became romantically involved. 

Their relationship lasted for 10 years before they split in 2013. 

After their breakup, Ashanti claimed that there was no drama between them, but they needed time to grow as individuals. 

Their unexpected reunion came in 2021 when they performed together at the Verzuz battle between Ja Rule and Fat Joe.

The chemistry between them was undeniable, as everyone could see, and it wasn’t long before the two started appearing together in public again. 

In 2023, they officially confirmed that they were back together, and soon after, they shared the news of their engagement. 

Ashanti Speaks Out On Motherhood 

Ashanti also spoke about the joy of becoming a mother. 

She has been eagerly anticipating motherhood her whole life and sees it as an exciting next chapter she at one point feared wouldn’t happen for her. 

In her interview, she shared how grateful she felt to have Nelly by her side, especially as they prepared for their new arrival. 

She said that motherhood was always something she wanted.

And she thought it was amazing that she got to share this experience with her family and her fiance, as well as her loyal and supportive fans.

Power Couple Nelly And Ashanti 

Ashanti and Nelly have a long history of collaboration in music, as well as being a hip-hop power couple.

They have worked together on several songs over the years, including Ashanti’s appearance in Nelly’s Body on Me music video. 

They also reunited for a musical collaboration in 2023 on Jermaine Dupri’s This Lil’ Game We Play. 

Ashanti shared how much she enjoyed recording with Nelly, saying that it was a ball. 

Now, as they prepare to potentially grow their family even more and build a life together, Ashanti and Nelly are focused on their future. 

And from the rumors that have been going around, the future is going to be busy for the two of them.

Nelly And Ashanti’s New Reality Show 

It looks like the couple have agreed to put their happy lives together on display for all to see in a new upcoming reality show. 

Here’s what we know about the exciting project. 

In July 2024, multiple outlets reported that Nelly and Ashanti will be hitting the small screen in a show about their relationship and growing family. 

The reports about a reality series were first shared by The Jasmine Brand on their Instagram. 

And some insiders close to the couple have shared some of the first details we’ve learned about the show.

It was reported that sources had confirmed that the show would be filming in St. Louis, aka Nelly’s hometown.

It also seems likely that the show will follow them through several stages of Ashanti’s pregnancy. 

In sharing the story of the proposal, Ashanti showed just how many sides there were to the couple. 

They’re both superstars with a reality show in the pipeline and a swanky A-lister wedding to plan.

But when it came to the proposal, they both found joy in something small, quiet, and private.

No matter what the future holds, that moment of normality will be something that they will always remember as one of the most important nights of their lives.

All About Nelly’s Kids and Late Sister

Having a rap superstar like Nelly for a father can’t be easy.

But some of Nelly’s children have gone through something more tragic than anyone could have ever imagined.

Nelly’s Sister’s, Jackie Donahue, Heart-Wrenching News 

In 2003, Nelly took in the kids of his late sister and best friend, Jackie.

What happened to them was heart-wrenching.

Though few were aware, Nelly’s rise to fame in the early 2000s was also a time filled with immense pain for him and his family.

When Nelly became a hip hop superstar, he hired Jackie to work as his stylist.

In 2001, Jackie went to see a doctor after feeling unusually tired.

At that time, Nelly thought that her fatigue was just because she wasn’t used to his demanding tour schedule.

But Jackie also started to experience severe pain all over her body.

When she was finally checked by a doctor, the diagnosis was one that would change their lives forever.

Jackie was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia, which is a form of cancer.

However, at first, it seemed like there might be a way out.

After treatment, Jackie actually went into remission for about two years.

But in 2003, the cancer returned.

Nelly Launched Campaign To Help Save Sister’s Life 

Doctors told Jackie and Nelly that they needed to find a bone marrow donor.

Their search led them to launch the Jes Us 4 Jackie campaign.

The campaign aimed to raise awareness about the need for bone marrow donations and to encourage African Americans to sign up as donors.

The campaign got nearly 2,000 people to sign up, including Nelly.

But tragically, none of the donors turned out to be a match for Jackie.

Without a transplant, Jackie’s health continued to decline, and she passed away in March 2005 at just 31 years old.

In a statement shared by Today, Jackie’s family said that they were “deeply saddened” by her passing.

They also thanked everyone who had supported the campaign’s bone marrow drive.

In the statement, Jackie was remembered for her “loving spirit, energy, and unshakable faith.”

The loss was devastating for Nelly.

But it must’ve been even worse for Jackie’s children.

However, there wasn’t much time to mourn.

Nelly’s Kids Appeared On Nellyville 

With Jackie gone, it was Nelly who had to step in and take care of her children.

He adopted his niece and nephew, Sydney and Lil Shawn.

They moved in with Nelly and his two biological children, Chanelle and Cornel III, also known as Tre.

The children appeared on Nelly’s reality show, Nellyville.

The show, which aired from 2014 to 2015, gave many people their first look at Nelly’s home life with his kids.

On the show, viewers got to see more about his adopted children.

In 2015, Sydney mentioned on Nellyville that she dreamed of becoming a model when she grew up.

After getting the chance to try it, she was surprised by how difficult it was.

She even said that she never realized how hard walking could be.

What Are Nelly’s Kids Up To? 

Years after the show ended, in 2020, Sydney’s life changed when she gave birth to her son, Cross Kapone Wimbley.

She celebrated his second birthday on Instagram, calling him her world and the reason she kept going.

Lil Shawn, on the other hand, has continued to follow his dreams of getting into show business like his uncle and adoptive father. 

According to his Instagram page, Lil Shawn, also known as Tab, is an artist.

But he’s also tried out other things, such as making video game streams and tutorials on his YouTube channel.

So far, his channel has gained almost 6,000 subscribers.

Like Sydney, Lil Shawn has also become a father. 

He has a baby girl named Mahalia Shine.

In September 2020, he posted a photo of his daughter on Instagram.

He captioned it with a joke about celebrating her being 19 days old and calling it her “first photoshoot.”

Nelly’s biological daughter Chanelle has also become a mother.

She shared on social media that she had given birth to a son named Ace.

So, even though Nelly is supposedly preparing to have another baby with Ashanti, he’s already been a grandfather for some time.

Nelly Speaks Out On Parenthood 

But he doesn’t seem overwhelmed by it, as he always seems to handle the challenges of parenthood well.

In a 2015 interview on The Real, Nelly talked about how he raised his children.

He explained that he always just let things happen, saying, “You have to let the youth be the youth.”

He added that he allows his kids to make their own mistakes, but he’s always there to guide them.

In the same interview, Nelly discussed being a single father.

He talked about how important it is to have single fathers rather than just baby daddies.

This shows Nelly’s focus on being involved in his kids’ lives, not just staying distant from them.

After such a tragic loss, Nelly has done his best to be a parent to Sydney and Lil Shawn.

Nelly Honors Late Sister On Dancing With The Stars

A few years ago, during his time on Dancing With The Stars, Nelly honored their late mother in a special way.

In 2020, he and his dance partner Daniella Karagach performed a rumba to the song Nobody Knows by Tony Rich.

During the show, Nelly revealed that this song was one of Jackie’s favorites.

Before the performance, Nelly shared his thoughts about Jackie, calling her a “real tough cookie” and saying that she was the “captain of the ship” until she could no longer be.

He also reflected on the moment he realized he was going to lose Jackie, calling it one of the worst days of his life.

Nelly recalled that in the last days of Jackie’s life, she worried about her children’s future.

But Nelly assured her that she didn’t have to worry and that he would take care of them.

Still, Nelly stressed that looking after Sydney and Lil Shawn was “a whole family effort.”

After all they’ve been through, it’s good that they had Nelly to rely on.

But right about now, Ashanti will probably be hoping that Nelly can show the same level of attentiveness with their newborn as he always has with his other kids.

Nelly Arrested For Possession Of Illegal Substances 

Things got off to a shaky start when Nelly got arrested so soon after their baby son was born.

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

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.

He was later released, and a representative for the rapper 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. 

Rumors Suspect Ashanti Is Furious About Nelly’s Arrest 

Rumors soon spread that Ashanti was furious with Nelly for letting her down.

But fortunately, they look like they’ve made up in more recent public outings.

The last thing their family needs is any more heartache.
