The Crazy Story of Dr. Dre’s Divorce

Dr. Dre’s divorce was finalized in December 2021 after a lengthy 18-month-legal battle. 

NBC News reported that he and Nicole Young had been married for 24 years, and they’d welcomed two children together.

There was a lot of back and forth between them, with both sides accusing each other of some extremely serious things.

The whole legal battle was super costly, and because of Dre’s incredible wealth, there was a lot of money at stake.

The divorce inevitably attracted a lot of negative press, with many headlines speculating on what the final outcome of the divorce would be.

Dr. Dre’s Ex-Wife, Nicole, Ended Up With $100 Million Dollars

Under the terms of the divorce settlement, Dre’s ex-wife Nicole ended up with 100 million dollars.

According to NBC’s sources, she received $50 million straight away, and then the other $50 million came a year later.

It was a lot of money, but it didn’t compare to Dre’s total wealth, which, at the time of the NBC report, was reportedly around $820 million.

However, Celebrity Net Worth claims that as of 2024, Dre is now worth $500 million, and has an average monthly income of around $230,000.

When Nicole filed for divorce in June 2020, she was originally seeking $2 million a month in spousal support.

Around that time, TMZ’s insiders predicted that Nicole was entitled to about $100,000 in spousal support. 

They also told the outlet that once the case was resolved and Dre had discontinued his then-practice of paying for all of her expenses, Nicole was going to have to learn to tighten her belt.

Court documents obtained by the Sun revealed that in July 2021, Dre was eventually ordered to pay his ex $293,000 a month, starting in August of that year.

Dr. Dre Allegedly Served Divorce Papers After Burying His Grandmother

A few months later, TMZ claimed that things got really ugly when Dre was served divorce papers during a tragic occasion.

He’d allegedly just finished burying his grandmother at a cemetery when he was approached by a process server. 

The outlet’s sources alleged that Dre was in the cemetery’s parking lot at the time, and he was so upset by the situation that he refused to take the paperwork.

The server reportedly dropped the documents right there in the parking lot. 

The papers were said to have been about Nicole’s attorney’s fees. 

The TMZ report said that the couple were arguing over how much Dre needed to pay. 

He’d reportedly paid $325,000, however, the judge had signed an order which said that he actually had to pay $1,550,000 – an amount that Dre did not think was accurate, but Nicole said the order was clear.

Throughout the case, Dre talked about how expensive the divorce was, and how it was costing him a lot.

Radar Online reported that while talking about his divorce, he once said that his goal and desire was to settle. 

He wanted to move on with his life, put the divorce behind him, and put an end to the enormous costs of the procedure.

Dr. Dre’s Ex-Wife, Nicole Young, Clapped Back

Nicole clapped back and claimed that what he’d said wasn’t true. 

She alleged that he was angry and spiteful because she didn’t want to give in to his demands, which she described as unreasonable. 

Radar Online had gotten hold of court filings which said that if anyone was to blame for the contentious and expensive litigation, it was Dre, his team, and the choices Dre had made.

Nicole’s lawyer shared that he was under the impression that Dre was playing games in an attempt to prolong the litigation and emotionally and financially wear Nicole down.

TMZ commented on how nasty and personal things had gotten between the ex couple at different moments of the divorce procedure.

At one point, Nicole accused Dre of attempting to hide assets that were considered to be community property.

Dr. Dre Filed Embezzlement Lawsuit Against Ex-Wife 

Then, in September 2020, Dre filed a lawsuit against Nicole claiming that she’d embezzled over $350,000 from his company, Recording One Studio, while they were married. 

A report by Radar Online revealed that before the divorce proceedings began, Nicole allegedly had access to the maintenance and control of the business’ assets. 

Which meant that she would’ve been allowed to transfer funds and write checks, too.

Dre accused his ex of decimating his assets when she allegedly stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from the company’s account. 

He claimed that the money was not taken out for any business transactions, but for her own personal use. 

According to a report by TMZ, Nicole’s lawyer released a statement saying that the lawsuit was a low-grade PR stunt by Dre and his team.

He added that there was no question that Nicole had both the contractual and the legal right to take the money out, and that Dre’s team was well aware of that.

Another Radar Online article announced that Dre dropped the embezzlement lawsuit in 2021, as part of the divorce settlement. 

Why Dr. Dre’s Ex-Wife, Nicole, Filed for Divorce

When she originally filed for divorce, Nicole cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split, according to TMZ’s reporting on the news.

But the Sarno Law Firm reported that she later revealed that there was another reason for her wanting to end her marriage. 

Nicole accused her ex husband of harming her throughout their marriage. 

She claimed that he’d held a weapon to her head twice, and that he’d physically hurt her more than once.

She also said that because of Dre’s actions, she suffered from post-traumatic stress syndrome. 

A Daily Mail report said that Dre denied the allegations against him, and claimed that his ex had invented the accusations after the divorce filing as a way to get money from him in the divorce.

One of the major disagreements the couple had during the lengthy divorce was over their prenup.

According to the Sarno Law Firm article, Dre and Nicole signed a prenuptial agreement just before they got married in 1996. 

The agreement stated that any property they bought together would be considered community property, and any property they bought individually would be theirs to keep if they got divorced.

Dr. Dre and Nicole Young’s Prenup Agreement 

Nicole alleged that she felt forced to sign the prenup.

Fox News reported on a statement by Nicole which claimed that before their wedding date, Dre demanded that she sign a premarital agreement that 16 of his lawyers had drafted.

She went on to explain that at the time, Dre was a well-known producer and rapper in the music industry, but he wasn’t anywhere near as famous as he later became during their marriage.

He reportedly told her that she had to sign the premarital agreement or he would not marry her. 

She added that she was extremely reluctant, resistant, and afraid to sign the agreement.

Nicole then went on to claim something that would become a contested topic in the divorce.

She alleged that Dre let her know that he felt ashamed that he had pressured her into signing a premarital agreement, and that he tore up multiple copies of the agreement in front of her.

And she claimed that since that day, they both understood that there was no prenup and that it was null and void.

So, because of that alleged understanding, Nicole reportedly felt that Dre’s assets should’ve been split in half, because they’d verbally agreed that they weren’t bound by a prenup anymore. 

However, Sarno Law Firm pointed out that according to the prenuptial agreement that Dre had reportedly torn up, it could only be amended or terminated through writing. 

Dr. Dre Stood in Front of Bouquet That Read: ‘Divorced AF’

And that writing did not exist, which was why Dre was not legally obligated to give Nicole half of his fortune. 

NBC news reported that aside from the $100 million dollars that Nicole left the marriage with, she also got to keep all her jewelry, as well as four vehicles- a Range Rover, a Rolls Royce, A Spyder motorcycle, and an Escalade Limousine.

As part of the divorce agreement, she had to move out of the couple’s Malibu beach home. 

NBC’s sources claimed that Dre in turn got to keep the majority of his wealth, including trademarks, master recordings and interests in different partnerships and trusts.

An insider close to Dre told Rolling Stone that he was delighted with the settlement, as it meant that his ex wife would only get a fifth of his liquid assets.

When the divorce was finalized, a Capital Xtra report claimed that the rapper threw a party to celebrate the occasion.

Dre’s friend Breyon Prescott posted a photo of him on Instagram in front of a balloon bouquet that read- ‘Divorced AF’.

Is the love story between Rihanna and her boyfriend A$AP Rocky too good to be true?

According to Rocky’s latest Instagram posts, the two seem to be more in love than ever.

Rihanna and Rocky recently celebrated the second birthday of their oldest son, RZA, on May 13.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s Oldest Son’s, RZA, 2nd Birthday  

The parents celebrated the big day by renting out the Color Factory in New York City for the day, so they could celebrate with some friends.

Rocky posted pictures from the event, which showed the couple holding their sons.

Rocky even playfully held his son upside down, which didn’t seem to bother RZA at all.

According to People Magazine, party guests said that the couple had gone all out for the party.

There were toys and slides for the children to play with.

There was even a large ball pit.

Parenthood for Rihanna and A$AP Rocky

Parenthood has become a huge part of their lives, and both parents seem to be loving every moment of it.

Rihanna’s focus has been on motherhood, but when she does get some time to work, she usually takes her kids with her.

It’s rare for her to be without the kids.

One insider told People Magazine that Rihanna never complains about being tired despite juggling work and her children.

They said that she appears to be loving life.

As for Rocky, he’s become known as a fun dad.

Besides spending a lot of time with the kids, he’s also been supportive of Rihanna and her needs.

Rihanna Revealed She’s Working on New Music

Although their fans may be eager for some new music, the couple has been focused on their family.

Rihanna’s last album was released in 2016, and Rocky’s last album was released in 2018.

That said, Rihanna did mention that she was working on some new music.

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, she talked about how her new music would likely feature her sons and even Rocky in some way.

So, while the progress may be slow, fans can look forward to new music from Rihanna.

RZA is a Great Big Brother to Riot 

She also talked about how RZA has gotten used to having a baby brother.

She said that, at first, he struggled with having another baby in the house and having to share attention.

These days, however, he’s come to really love his younger brother.

She explained that when RZA doesn’t think they’re looking, he’ll touch Riot and look at him.

He also doesn’t like it when Riot cries.

Whenever the baby starts crying, RZA will come over and hold his hands and say, “baby, baby, baby,” trying to soothe him.

Although it took a while for RZA to get used to Riot, Rihanna is proud of how much he’s changed and accepted his brother.

Rihanna Loves Being a Boy Mom

She also admitted that she thought she was a girl mom, but she’s become a boy mom, and she loves it.

She never thought she’d be particularly good at raising boys, but now, she wouldn’t change a thing.

She also revealed that when it comes to dressing her boys, she likes to put them in clothes similar to what Rocky wears.

Rihanna likes his style, so she dresses her boys in his style, too.

Riot was born in August 2023, while RZA was born in May 2022.

With two sons under her belt, Rihanna said that she feels as though her family is complete.

How Did Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Meet?

Now, while some fans may have been surprised that Rihanna ended up with Rocky, others saw the writing on the wall.

The two met all the way back in 2012 when they did a collaboration for the MTV Music Awards.

Rihanna was performing a remixed version of Cockiness (Love It) with Rocky joining her on stage.

They met during the rehearsal for the performance, which, at first, was all business.

Rihanna said it was very manager-to-manager and client-to-client.

That night, however, everything changed.

At some point, Rocky grabbed her behind.

There was tension immediately.

Her team thought that Rihanna was going to lose it and demand his head on a spike.

However, her response surprised them.

She was cool with it.

For her team, that was the first sign that Rihanna liked him.

When Did Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Get Together? 

However, it would take a very long time before they actually got together.

But that didn’t mean they were completely apart.

They remained in each other’s orbit, nurturing a friendship and discovering that they had similar interests and tastes in fashion and art.

They also supported one another, even when they were in other relationships.

Rihanna said during a chat with The Interview Magazine that she knew him when he was single and when he was in a relationship.

And he knew her when she was single and when she was in a relationship.

They even knew each other when they were both single.

But despite those periods of being single, they remained friends and supportive of one another.

One of the biggest reasons why they didn’t pursue a relationship earlier was because they were afraid of the pull they had to one another.

Both of them knew that if they ended up in a relationship, it would either make or break them.

They knew that if things went wrong, they’d bring a lot of trouble to each other’s lives.

Yet, they also knew that they could bring a lot of good trouble, too.

They eventually started dating just before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Yet, even then, they were very careful and cautious about dating each other.

Then, COVID happened, and while the pandemic was responsible for breaking some couples up, it made Rihanna and Rocky become very serious about one another.

Rihanna was actually grateful for the pandemic, at least in regards to how it sped up her relationship with Rocky.

She said that God must have known they needed a bit of help because they needed a push to make the final plunge together.

While they had plans to start a family together, they weren’t doing much to make that happen.

With the pandemic, all they had was time to spend together.

Rihanna said that if the pandemic hadn’t happened, then it would have taken far longer for them to get comfortable with each other and to know when they were ready.

 A$AP Rocky Made Rihanna Feel Like She’s Enough

One of the things that Rihanna noticed that was different with Rocky was that she didn’t feel as though she wasn’t enough.

She said that in past relationships, she always tried hard to be a great partner, but she still always felt like it wasn’t enough.

With Rocky, she feels completely comfortable.

She said that happens when you’re with someone who sees you completely and believes in you completely.

Another big factor in all this is that Rocky chose her to be the mother of his children.

Rihanna said that when someone chooses you like that, it makes you feel great.

The feeling was mutual, too.

She knew that Rocky was going to be a great dad.

What Drives Rihanna Crazy About A$AP Rocky

Now, no romance is perfect, and Rihanna shared a few things about Rocky that drive her crazy.

The first is that he always dresses well.

Rihanna talked about how when they went on planes, he’d wear really fancy suits, and she’d be wearing sweatpants.

She said he made her feel like a bum because he looked amazing, and she looked less put together.

Apparently, she always asks him why he has to do that to her.

The other problem is something she said is one of the main reasons they get into fights.

They like to play games together, and one of them is a card game called Crazy Eights.

She said Rocky taught her how to play, and the game can get pretty competitive.

The problem is that Rocky taught her how to play, but then he cheats at playing.

He also changes the rules.

Rihanna said that he doesn’t just do that to her, either.

Whenever he plays the game with his friends, he does the same thing.

So, that drives her crazy.

Is Marriage in the Cards for Rihanna and A$AP Rocky?

It’s all in good fun, though, and if that’s the only problem they’re having, they’re doing just fine.

Some fans might be wondering when the two will get married, though.

RELATED: Usher Gets Married

In June 2023, Rocky sparked some rumors that they were going to get married.

He made a song called D.M.B., which was dedicated to Rihanna.

He even called her his wife when he dedicated the song to her.

The music video made those rumors spread even further.

In the video, Rihanna shows up dressed in a red wedding dress and attends a wedding in the video with Rocky.

He’s also wearing golden grills that spell out “Marry Me?” while Rihanna is wearing her own grills that spell out, “I do.”

The wedding wasn’t real, however.

So we will just have to wait to see if and when Rocky pops the question.

The Truth About What Happened to Ben Affleck’s Face

Ben Affleck recently sparked plastic surgery rumors after being spotted looking extremely different. Many people believe that Jennifer Lopez pressured him into getting the cosmetic work done. Now, Ben is more miserable than ever. 

So what’s going on with Ben’s bizarre appearance lately? The truth about what he did to his face, and what it means for his marriage is honestly insane.

On Sunday, May 5th, Ben made an appearance at Tom Brady’s Netflix roast. The Daily Mail reported that he left the audience completely stunned for a couple of seriously strange reasons. People were mainly shocked by how Ben’s face looked. 

He recently shaved off his facial hair for one of his movie roles, but that wasn’t the only noticeable difference. The skin on his face also appeared to be super shiny and very tightly stretched. It quickly led to rumors that he’d had some type of plastic surgery.

However, viewers of the comedy special were also taken aback by Ben’s set. Instead of focusing on roasting Tom, he spent his time on stage angrily ranting about social media critics and trolls. 

But what happened the next day was incredibly surprising. The following day, JLo walked the red carpet at the Met Gala. She also served as co-chair for the event. 

Despite how important his wife’s role was, Ben was noticeably missing. It turns out that his absence and his misdirected anger the night before were due to an absolutely crazy reason. 

Ben Didn’t Want to Get Botox

According to what a source told In Touch Weekly, Ben was pushed into getting fillers and Botox by JLo. He supposedly never wanted to get any work done, but she wanted him to be able to keep up with her youthful looks. She allegedly wouldn’t drop the issue until he agreed to it. 

After Ben’s unexpected facial transformation was dragged online following his appearance at Tom’s roast, he was allegedly even more upset. So, he decided to completely skip the Met Gala. The insider claimed that Ben is taking accountability for giving in to JLo’s demand that he cosmetically change his face, but he’s still unhappy. 

Now, the couple is reportedly having another unbelievable disagreement. The source explained that Ben supposedly never wants to get any other fillers or Botox again, and plans on aging gracefully from now on. 

JLo is allegedly trying to convince him that he looks amazing after getting injectables. She actually wants him to agree to get “a little facial maintenance” again in the future. 

Apparently, that might not even be a concern for long. The future of Ben and JLo’s marriage is totally up in the air. In a separate report by In Touch Weekly, an insider revealed that JLo’s “need to make their relationship so public and perfect” has been pushing Ben away more than ever lately. 

The source added that Ben has been feeling so “overwhelmed and henpecked” by JLo that he can barely stand being around her anymore. After they were seen in New York City at the end of March, they weren’t publicly spotted together for over a month. 

Ben Has Allegedly Moved Out

The insider said that Ben is fed up with living in JLo’s shadow and has been taking time to himself. But his decision to distance himself from his wife might not just be a temporary fix. 

According to another In Touch Weekly source, Ben has allegedly moved out of the house he and JLo shared. They claimed that the couple is even headed for divorce because he’s sick of dealing with her controlling behavior. 

His decision to call it quits wasn’t only based on her pressuring him to cosmetically alter his face. Ben has supposedly been miserable in his marriage for quite a while now. 

RELATED: JLo Exposed by Diddy

JLo has allegedly expected him to change himself in so many outrageous ways. According to The Things, she even has a list of super strict rules for him to follow. 

Even though JLo and Ben have a team of hired staff to keep their home clean, she still expects him to make sure it looks spotless. She allegedly freaks out if she catches him making a mess, even if he just accidentally forgets to put a dish away. 

There’s another rule she supposedly has for him that’s seriously insane. JLo reportedly requires Ben to work out with her whenever she hits the gym, which is multiple times a week. 

When they first got back together, she supposedly even created a strict diet and exercise plan for him. Even if JLo was looking out for Ben’s best interests by trying to keep him healthy, demanding that he follow her fitness regime is definitely a little much. 

JLo Keeps A Close Eye on Ben When They’re Together

She also added some really specific clauses to their prenup, and they’re truly unbelievable. One of the conditions JLo reportedly included in the prenup was that she and Ben are required to be intimate with each other at least four times a week. 

She also added a clause that stated that they cannot spend more than five days apart from each other. If their work schedules don’t line up and could potentially cause them to be separated for more than five days, one of them has to travel to the other. 

RELATED: JLo Blamed for TikToker’s Death

But that’s not all. JLo even expects Ben to FaceTime with her every single day that they’re apart. 

If he’s not happy because of everything she forces him to do, wouldn’t demanding that he communicate with her daily just make their issues worse? It sounds like Ben is never allowed to have any space or time to himself. 

Your Tango revealed that part of the reason JLo won’t give him much breathing room might be because she’s concerned that his past sobriety struggles will resurface, and he’ll end up relapsing. JLo supposedly tries to keep Ben’s sobriety on track by testing his drinks to make sure he isn’t consuming any adult beverages. 

She also keeps a close eye on him while they’re out together. She even controls how much money he tries to tip servers.

The outlet reported that a since-deleted TikTok, posted by someone claiming to have worked at an establishment that JLo and Ben visited, exposed the couple for being cheap. The employee explained that JLo is allegedly so stingy that she often tells Ben not to leave a tip. 

JLo Refused to Respect Ben’s Request for Privacy

JLo’s need for Ben to constantly communicate with her if they aren’t together is extreme. It’s one thing to make sure they’re checking in with each other so they don’t grow apart during busy times, but her treating him like a child can’t be healthy for their relationship.

On top of the crazy, over-the-top rules JLo has for Ben, she expects him to make a big change for her. Even though he’s notoriously private, she wants him to be spotted out in public with her all the time. 

According to CNN, in JLo’s recent documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, she admitted that Ben wasn’t comfortable with being the muse for her projects. In one scene, he even confessed that one of his main requests was that their relationship wasn’t on social media.

Ben said that he realized that it wasn’t for him to ask JLo to keep their romance off the Internet. He added that although they’re very different people, they were trying to learn how to compromise.

JLo also acknowledged that Ben was a “reluctant participant” in her documentary. But she claimed that he supported her anyway since he knew he couldn’t stop her from making art. Honestly, it sounds like she didn’t give him a choice in the matter. 

Ben brought up that he and JLo had to learn how to compromise. Based on everything she’s demanded of him throughout the years, it doesn’t sound like she’s interested in compromising with him.

If the reports about Ben moving out and the couple being headed for divorce are true, it really wouldn’t be surprising. He’s been making countless changes for JLo, but it never seems to be enough for her.

Adrienne Bailon Exposes 3LW Feud

Photo Credits: Adrienne Bailon/Instagram and Naturi Naughton/Instagram

Adrienne Bailon was part of a girl group with Naturi Naughton and Kiely Williams at the start of her career. They called themselves the 3 Little Women, which was shortened to 3LW.

The girls were in their mid-teens when the group was formed in 1999. Everything seemed to be going great for them.

But then, it all came crashing down. You’re not going to believe what happened and why.

RELATED: How JLo Stole Ashanti’s Voice

Back in 1999, Adrienne, Kiely, and Naturi formed one of the fastest-rising girl groups ever. Not long after they got together, they put out hits like “No More” and “Playas Gon’ Play.”

With how fast they were rising, everyone was expecting them to keep coming out with more and more big hits. But that was not what happened. In fact, if anything, it was the opposite.

Out of nowhere, the original 3LW got divided. Or should I say – Naturi got kicked out?

It did not look good for the group. According to what Naturi has been saying, there was some serious drama between her and the 3LW management.

Michelle Williams Was Allegedly the Cause of the Drama

It only went downhill from there, when the rift started to involve Adrienne and Kiely. To make things worse, 3LW’s manager at the time was Kiely’s mom, Michelle Williams. Of course, when it came down to picking sides, Kiely sided with her mom, and Adrienne sided with Kiely.

This left Naturi all on her own. According to her, the real reason why all that drama was happening in the group was mainly because of Michelle.

RELATED: Swizz Beatz’s Ex Mashonda Opens Up About Alicia Keys

Apparently, Naturi had much darker skin than Adrienne and Kiely. Because of how Michelle wanted the group to look, Naturi was not really a perfect fit. Despite all of that, Naturi wanted to fight for her place in the group.

I mean, 3LW was on the edge of hitting mainstream success. They had just gone on the TRL tour with Destiny’s Child. I don’t think I need to explain how huge this must have been for them.

Right as they were about to make a name for themselves, Kiely’s mom wanted Naturi out of the group. Naturi managed to hold on to her place in 3LW for a little while.

But then all this a breaking point when Naturi got into an argument with Michelle. It got heated fast, and then Adrienne and Kiely got involved in the argument, too. Just like you would expect, they were not on Naturi’s side.

Things apparently got really ugly. At one point, Adrienne and Kiely supposedly started cursing at Naturi. As if that wasn’t bad enough, they also started throwing the food they had at Naturi.

Naturi Was Replaced by Jessica Benson

At this point, Naturi had had enough and was ready to quit the group. According to her, she felt like she was getting physically violated when the food started leaving the plates and flying toward her. That was her cue to leave.

Since she was leaving, Naturi asked for a plane ticket to go back home to New Jersey. Now, at this point, Michelle was basically getting what she wanted.

RELATED: Keyshia Cole’s New Younger Man

But according to Naturi, it still wasn’t enough. Michelle allegedly refused to get her a plane ticket to go back home.

What’s even crazier is that after Naturi decided to leave the group, 3LW didn’t rebrand and change their name. Despite how much their name relied on having 3 women singing, Adrienne and Kiely tried doing it on their own.

Then the media started making fun of them by calling them 2LW. Apparently, Naturi was a key part of what made the group work. Without her there, it just kept going downhill for them.

At one point, 3LW was almost let go by their label and was going bankrupt to make things work. Then Michelle decided to get another third “little woman.”

Naturi’s replacement turned out to be Jessica Benson, but Jessica was no Naturi. Nothing major happened for the group after she joined.

Without Naturi, the Group Eventually Disbanded

Recently, Adrienne talked about her time in 3LW and her current relationships with the other members. Adrienne shared in an interview with People that it was important to talk about the good times she had with the group. But she also added that she wanted to remember the bad times, too, so that they could make them right.

According to Adrienne, they were only teenagers when they first formed 3LW. Even though it didn’t end well, they were grown enough now to try and fix things.

Adrienne even pointed out how they still managed to have outstanding careers after going their separate ways. Adrienne and Kiely eventually joined another girl group that was formed for the Disney Channel movie The Cheetah Girls. They made this jump after 3LW failed to gain traction after Jessica joined.

When Adrienne and Kiely left to join The Cheetah Girls, 3LW was disbanded. Adrienne and Kiely had a lot of success with The Cheetah Girls.

They starred in the movies and worked on studio albums. At the end of 2008, The Cheetah Girls disbanded to pursue their solo careers in music and dancing.

Naturi, on the other hand, went into the movie industry a few years after leaving 3LW. She starred in the movie Fame and even wrote some of the songs on the soundtrack for the movie. Naturi was also in the biopic Notorious.

Naturi and Adrienne Have Made Ammends

Her most notable role came later when she played Tasha St Patrick in Power. In fact, Power was what brought Naturi and Adrienne back together.

When Naturi was doing the promo for Power in 2017, she made an appearance on The Real. Adrienne was a co-host of the show.

So, when the women met on air, Adrienne made a very public apology to Naturi. She apologized for her part in making Naturi leave the 3LW.

Adrienne said that she never meant any harm to Naturi at the time. She always thought of Naturi as talented and beautiful.

After Adrienne apologized on air, it looked like things were starting to head in the right direction for 3LW again. At one point, they were even asked if they would ever get back together to release some more music.

Kiely Accused Naturi of Lying

Back then, Naturi talked about how she would love to drop some more music, but she had a pretty busy schedule at the time. But then, in 2020, she spoke about some new music that she was working on.

Apparently, the music would show how she felt when she was being pressured out of the group. So no one was expecting the other members of 3LW to be on those songs with Naturi.

Apart from their busy schedules, there might also be another reason why 3LW might not make music together again. While Adrienne and Naturi seem to have kissed and made up, Kiely has not been on board with any of that.

She actually accused Naturi of lying. According to Kiely, Naturi lied about what happened all those years ago and has continued to spread those lies against Kiely and her mother.

Kiely is nowhere near ready to shake hands and make up with Naturi anytime soon. Naturi, on the other hand, isn’t about to take back what she has been saying all this time.

So both women have yet to bury the hatchet. But Adrienne and Naturi remain close despite what’s been going on with Kiely.

Sean Kingston Arrested Following Home Raid

Sean Kingston bought a huge TV for his home, but he didn’t actually pay for it. Now, the police are after him and his mom.

According to TMZ, the police performed a raid on Sean’s home in Florida on May 23rd, early in the morning. Sean wasn’t home at the time. He had a concert that he was doing in Los Angeles.

His mother, Janice Turner, however, was at home and had to open the door up to dozens of police officers who swarmed the house. Along with the police, Dennis Card, a lawyer, was there with specific instructions from the company he was working for.

It seems as though Sean bought a $150,000 home entertainment station but didn’t actually pay for it. The company that gave the entertainment system to Sean put in a lawsuit against him several years ago. Now, it seems as though it’s finally getting its justice.

Sean and His Mother Were Arrested

Dennis took pictures to document the raid. TMZ was able to get their hands on those pictures, too.

One of the most startling photos was of the entertainment station, itself. It was a massive TV that spanned an entire wall in Sean’s room.

The photo showed police officers carefully disassembling it panel by panel. It took some time since there were 1,000 panels that needed to be removed.

There were a few other things that the police confiscated, too. Dennis said that he wasn’t the only one reclaiming items that Sean supposedly didn’t pay for.

Two women also entered the home claiming that Sean had bought a really expensive mattress from them and never paid for it, either. So, they took the mattress.

As for Sean’s mother, police detained her and then charged her with fraud and theft. She’s in jail awaiting bail.

The police weren’t satisfied with just Janice, though. Later that day, the police went to Fort Irwin, which is out in the middle of California’s Mojave Desert.

Sean was there doing another performance before he had one lined up in Las Vegas. The police said that after the performance, Sean cooperated with them, and they took him to San Bernadino County jail. He was charged with the same crimes as his mother–fraud and theft.

Sean Only Paid the Downpayment on the Entertainment System

While Sean hasn’t talked about the charges yet, he did share a Story on Instagram. In it, he said that people loved negative energy. He also said that he was good and so was his mother.

Sean added that his lawyers were handling everything and included some emojis of prayer hands. So, it seems that Sean is leaving the legal mess for his lawyers to fix.

The company that is suing Sean, which led to his arrest, is Ver Ver Entertainment. According to CNN, they’re known for selling and installing high-end television and sound systems.

The company claimed that they gave Sean a discounted price with the understanding that he would make a promotional video with Justin Beiber. Sean paid the downpayment but failed to pay for the rest of his entertainment system afterward.

They also claimed that because Sean had worked with Justin in the past, they believed him when he said he’d make the video. Now, they realize that he no longer has a working relationship with Justin.

More details will likely emerge as the investigation continues.

Why Sofia Vergara Didn’t Have More Kids

Sofia Vergara has been a TV sensation ever since Modern Family hit the screens. On the show, she played her motherly role to perfection.

But despite her character raising two kids, it turns out that this wasn’t something Sofia herself wanted to do. Apparently, she doesn’t plan on ever having more than one child and the reason why is seriously interesting.

Sofia recently did a tell-all interview with People Magazine, where she opened up about her decision to not have any more children.

One of the reasons Sofia gave for this was that she already knew what it took to have and raise a child. So it’s not like this was a new experience that she was avoiding.

Sofia already has her son, Manolo Vergara, who she had back in September 1991. Sofia was only 19 years old when she got pregnant and gave birth to Manolo.

Over the years, she has talked about what it was like raising a child at just 19 years old. In the interview, she talked about how rewarding the experience was.

But it also wasn’t without its ups and downs. Sofia also admitted that she doesn’t remember much of her life before having Manolo.

Raising her son at that age was not the easiest thing and it came with a lot of headaches. Still, she can’t really complain because according to Sofia, it felt like they grew up together. It was a unique experience that she enjoyed.

Sofia Is Ready to Be a Grandmother

While growing up and raising Manolo at the same time, Sofia also made sure to set the best example that she could for him. So now, when people come around and compliment Manolo, she also feels rewarded.

Sofia also said on The Kelly Clarkson Show that she is proud of the man her son has become. Manolo went to Emerson College in Boston and graduated in 2015.

Now, he’s trying to follow in his mom’s footsteps and get into the movie industry. He’s also already landed some modeling gigs.

Sofia also shared that now that she is almost 52 and Manolo is heading towards 33, she can’t wait to be a grandmother. It looks like Sofia would prefer Manolo becoming a father over her bringing another child into the world herself. According to Sofia, she would be a much better “Abuela” at this point in her life.

She feels like she’s already playing a similar role with Manolo’s dog. According to Sofia, during the weekend, Manolo comes over and leaves his dog with her.

Then, he goes back to his place for the weekend and does whatever he has planned while Sofia gets to take care of the dog. This is something that Manolo apparently picked up from his mom.

Back when he was much younger, Sofia would also take Manolo to his grandparents’ house so that he could go outside and play while he was with them. Sofia could go out during the weekends, so it was a win-win situation. Now that Sofia is getting up there in age, she is ready to be on the other end of the win-win situation.

Sofia’s Decision Led to the End of Her Marriage

Speaking of age, that’s another reason why Sofia was not too interested in having another child with her ex-husband, Joe Manganiello. From Sofia’s perspective, she feels like she’s a little bit too old to be getting pregnant.

She added that thanks to science, women can still get pregnant and have babies even if they are older, but that wasn’t always the case.

Sofia had this to say about that: “Nature for some reason tells your body at 50 you are in menopause, it’s time for you to be done with that. There is a reason why nature is doing that.” It looks like Sofia would rather stick with nature’s side of the story.

She just doesn’t want to have another child, which actually played a major part in what led to the end of her marriage with Joe. Apparently, Joe wanted a child, but Sofia didn’t. It kept getting worse until they both decided to go their separate ways.

For Sofia, she felt like it just wasn’t right, trying to bring a child into this world considering everything that was going on. It also sounds like their marriage wasn’t exactly perfect, either. So it wouldn’t have been the best environment for a small child, anyway.

Having Another Child Could Have Impacted Her Career

Another reason why Sofia didn’t want to have another child was because of her career. Sofia recently starred in the TV series Griselda as the main character.

If she had gotten pregnant or recently given birth, it’s very likely that she would have missed out on this opportunity. It’s not just this TV show. Getting pregnant could have also interfered with her time on Modern Family.

I mean, maybe they could have woven it into the script, considering that her character, Gloria, did have a baby during the show’s run. But there is only so much you can do while pregnant, and that list keeps shrinking as the weeks go by.

There are other things that Sofia probably couldn’t do if she was pregnant, like appear on America’s Got Talent. It might have also derailed her various ideas and businesses outside the movie industry, like her jewelry line, for example. Basically, with all the career moves that she has been making over the years, raising a newborn child on top of that might have been too difficult.

This was something that Sofia talked about. It seems like a lot of women drew inspiration and felt empowered by Sofia’s decision to leave her marriage. They felt like she made the right decision by choosing not to raise another child.

Sofia felt like she would not be able to give her all to raising a child like she did with Manolo. After all, it takes a village to raise a child.

With everything that Sofia had going on, it looked like she just wasn’t ready to have a village around her. Even beyond that, giving birth to another child was still a deal breaker for Sofia.

Sofia Has Found Love Again

It looks like she has left all of the outside pressure to have another child in the past. From the looks of things, Sofia seems to be moving on with her new man, Dr. Justin Saliman.

According to InStyle, Sofia went Instagram official with Justin in April of this year. Justin and Sofia have been rumored to be seeing each other since October 2023.

She posted a picture of Justin attending to her broken leg with the caption: “If you ever get a major knee surgery, make sure you get a handsome doctor who will sleep with you that night!”  Then, she also added: “Luv u Dr @jdsaliman.” It’s easy to see that Sofia is in a happy place again after her divorce.

Beyonce’s Bodyguard Speaks Out

Beyonce and Jay Z have been fiercely protecting their public image for years. The truth behind their picture-perfect facade has finally been exposed by one of their former staffers.

Beyonce’s ex-security guard has spoken out about the shady, disturbing secrets that the Carters don’t want anyone to know. The things he revealed about the couple’s dark side are honestly insane, so let’s get into it. According to HOLR Magazine, a guy claiming to be Beyonce’s ex-bodyguard has made bold allegations about her and Jay Z. 

Just last year, the man, who simply goes by ‘Uncle Ron,’ began posting startling videos about the couple. In previous videos that Uncle Ron shared on his TikTok, he opened up about his past career. Years ago, he supposedly worked as a bodyguard for many high-profile celebrities. 

In a video posted to his account in January 2023, Uncle Ron specifically called out Beyonce and Jay Z when he dropped several bombshell accusations about them. The original TikTok has since been deleted from Uncle Ron’s account. Fortunately, it was saved and shared by many other TikTokers, including @slot_7.0.

Uncle Ron claimed that Jay Z and Beyonce would stop at nothing “to destroy anyone who speaks out against them.” There’s no denying that Beyonce and Jay Z both seem determined to maintain their nearly flawless reputations by any means. But what their former staffer said next was seriously shocking. 

Beyonce and Jay Z Tried to Silence Uncle Ron

Believe it or not, Uncle Ron revealed that he had allegedly been receiving threats from the couple. It turns out that the reason why they had reportedly been trying to intimidate him was absolutely crazy.

Uncle Ron accused Jay Z and Beyonce of trying to scare him into staying silent. They supposedly didn’t want him to disclose any details about their harmful, twisted behavior. 

The Carters also allegedly wanted to keep him from exposing the truth about their outrageous relationship. Uncle Ron explained that Beyonce and Jay Z reportedly didn’t love each other, and they never had. 

RELATED: 50 Warns Beyoncé She’s About to Get Exposed

He added that their marriage wasn’t anything like how they portrayed it to be. Instead, their relationship had supposedly always been based strictly on finances and business. 

Uncle Ron claimed that the only thing tying Jay Z and Beyonce to each other was their shared goal. Allegedly, they desperately wanted to be billionaires who dominated the industry. They reportedly kept their master plan a secret by pretending to be a power couple that preferred living privately.

However, despite the threats that Uncle Ron had supposedly received, he didn’t seem too concerned. He explained that everything Beyonce and Jay Z had been hiding in the dark would eventually be brought to light. 

Then, he fired back at their alleged attempts to keep him quiet in a truly bizarre way. Uncle Ron addressed Beyonce and Jay Z directly by reminding them that he knows their darkest secrets. 

Uncle Ron Allegedly Has Proof of Everything

Not only was he aware of countless details about their personal lives, but he allegedly knew about their past actions. What he said next was honestly unbelievable.

Uncle Ron revealed that Beyonce had reportedly been consuming substances “for a long time.” Things got even crazier when he mentioned that Jay Z had supposedly been keeping her dependent on those substances so that he could control her more easily. 

Uncle Ron backed up the allegations he’d made about the Carters by saying that he had saved proof of everything. He added that the receipts he had would provide all the evidence he needed to expose them. But that wasn’t all. 

Apparently, Uncle Ron had saved all of the “old-school footage” as well. He didn’t clarify what exactly was on the potential recordings or tapes he had kept, but it definitely sounded both mysterious and incriminating. 

Uncle Ron also claimed that Jay Z and Beyonce “stepped on many people” to get to where they are now. He said they’re willing to do literally whatever it takes to stay on top of the music industry, even if it means turning someone else’s world completely upside down.  

Uncle Ron mentioned that the Carters have reportedly always been hateful. They have treated other artists terribly in the past, purely out of spite. 

He explained that when Keri Hilson “said something about” Beyonce years ago, the couple’s reaction was extremely over-the-top. Uncle Ron accused Beyonce and Jay Z of allegedly ending Keri’s music career, which had been doing really well at the time. 

As strange as it may seem, it’s definitely possible that his claim about the Carters sabotaging Keri’s success and popularity could be true. 

Keri Hilson vs Beyonce

According to Life & Style, many people were convinced that Keri had thrown shade at Beyonce in 2009 when she released a remix of her song “Turnin’ Me On.” In the track, Keri sang about a woman who incorrectly believed that she was the greatest performing artist. 

The lyrics were: “Your vision cloudy if you think that you’re the best / You can dance, she can sing, but she need to move it to the left, left.” People felt like Keri had chosen her words to intentionally shade Beyonce, especially when she sang ‘move it to the left, left.’ Many listeners thought that referencing Beyonce’s song, “Irreplaceable,” which opens with the lyrics, “To the left, to the left.” 

But that wasn’t the only dig that Keri had seemingly taken at Beyonce. At the Soul Train Awards in 2011, Keri unexpectedly turned down a simple request on the red carpet. Juicy Magazine asked numerous celebrities throughout the night to hold a recent issue of the tabloid and pose for a photo. 

When one of their reporters asked Keri to do the same thing, her response was seriously bizarre. At first, Keri looked like she was about to follow through with the request. As soon as she realized Beyonce and Jay Z were on the cover, she refused to do it. 

Based on what Uncle Ron hinted at in his TikTok, the Carters hurt Keri’s career and forced her out of the spotlight. Life & Style reported that in 2013, Keri tweeted about how her spirit had been crushed for years by Jay Z and Beyonce’s fans. 

She explained that since she had allegedly dissed Beyonce, the couple’s followers had been constantly sending her hateful messages. Although Keri’s reported beef with Beyonce hadn’t even been that big of a deal, both of the Carters supposedly took advantage of their massive social media followings. Not only did they allow their devoted fans to bully Keri for years, but they most likely also used their influence in the industry to ultimately push her out. 

Jay Z Worked Closely with Diddy

According to Uncle Ron, that wasn’t the first time the Carters had done something really shady to stay on top. In his video, he also said that as soon as Jay Z started rising to fame, he allegedly began writing off the people who had helped him become successful, including Biggie, Freeway, and Beanie Sigel. 

In another TikTok that Uncle Ron posted in January 2023, he claimed that Jay Z reportedly wanted Biggie out of the music industry for a really selfish reason. Supposedly, he wanted to be the most famous hip-hop artist, so he made a decision that was truly insane.

Uncle Ron explained that Jay Z had allegedly teamed up with Diddy to create a secret plan, which would result in Biggie tragically passing away. They reportedly convinced Biggie to travel to California to promote his new album, where they had arranged for someone to end his life.

Uncle Ron Deleted All of His Videos

Even though Uncle Ron’s accusations about Jay Z and Beyonce were serious, he didn’t appear to be all that worried. According to Media Takeout, about a week after he began calling the couple out, he posted an unexpected update. 

In the video, which has since been deleted, Uncle Ron made a surprising revelation. He announced that he had just removed every video from his account that mentioned any claims about Beyonce and Jay Z. But that wasn’t all. 

Uncle Ron added that he would no longer be talking about the couple in his videos. However, he also expressed that he wouldn’t be walking back any of the statements he’d made about the Carters. 

He explained that if his followers wanted to know any other details about the situation, they would have to speak to his lawyers. Uncle Ron ended the video by making it clear that he didn’t consume any substances and never drank adult beverages. He seemingly wanted his followers to know that if anything sinister happened to him, it wouldn’t be an accident.

Uncle Ron Has Remained Quiet About His Career as a Bodyguard

Although Uncle Ron never showed proof that he worked as Beyonce’s bodyguard, that doesn’t mean he wasn’t telling the truth. In a thread posted on Lipstick Alley, one of the site’s users added photos of Uncle Ron standing beside Beyonce. The pictures had clearly been taken years ago, but it really looked like Uncle Ron had worked as Beyonce’s bodyguard. 

Since mysteriously deleting his videos about the Carters, he’s been extremely quiet about his past career as a security guard. Based on what he said about his attorneys, it’s possible that he had no option but to delete his TikToks. 

If they had filed cease and desist notices against him, he would have been forced to either remove all of his videos that included accusations he’d made against them or fight the matter in court. No matter what, Uncle Ron’s claims about Jay Z and Beyonce were honestly shocking. 

Why Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Did this to North

North West is only 10 years old, but she recently landed her first acting role. Now, more people than ever suspect that Kim and Kanye have been pushing their daughter to start working.

So why exactly are they being accused of not looking out for North’s best interests? The real reasons why Kanye and Kim want their daughter to become as famous as possible are absolutely crazy.

The Mirror UK recently reported that North just landed a major acting role. She will be appearing in Disney’s The Lion King 30th Anniversary – A Live-to-Film Concert Event

The performances will be broadcast live from the Hollywood Bowl and are set to take place on May 24th and 25th. It isn’t publicly known what part North will be playing yet. 

However, a recording of the event will eventually be available to stream on Disney+. It’s obviously a pretty big deal that North’s first acting role is going to be in a Disney production. 

But not everyone is impressed that she’s making a name for herself as an actress at such a young age. They don’t think it was really her idea in the first place. 

People believe Kim and Kanye have pressured their daughter to start working because they’re desperate for her to become famous. Their critics think they might have been behind Disney’s decision to offer North a role in their live event.

There’s no denying that the Kardashians have countless connections in the industry. It’s definitely possible that Kim and Kanye managed to pull some strings for their daughter to be able to appear in Disney’s live performance. But the reason why they wanted North to have a role in The Lion King so badly is seriously bizarre.

Kim and Kanye Have Been Competing with the Carters

Interestingly, a week before news broke that North would be appearing in The Lion King live-to-film event, another celebrity child was in the headlines. According to TODAY, Disney announced on April 29th that Beyonce and Jay Z’s 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, would be joining the cast of one of their productions.

The outlet reported that Disney revealed in a press release that Blue Ivy will be playing the part of the lion cub, Kiara, in the live-action prequel, Mufasa: The Lion King. So when it was announced that North had landed a role in a different production of The Lion King, some people felt like the timing was too similar to just be a coincidence.

It’s no secret that Kanye used to be close friends with Jay Z and Beyonce. But according to The Mirror UK, around the time that Kanye’s controversial rants started becoming more frequent, the Carters began distancing themselves from him. 

Not to mention, when Kim and Kanye got married in 2014, Beyonce and Jay Z didn’t attend their wedding. That allegedly led to an intense feud between the couples. But after Kanye and Kim split up, they seemingly continued silently competing against the Carters. 

Some people have speculated that Kim and Kanye were unbelievably jealous when they found out that Beyonce and Jay Z’s daughter would be appearing in a Disney production. They believe Kanye and Kim called in some favors to make sure North would have a similar role. 

North is Very Involved in Her Parents’ Careers

That’s not the only potential reason why North’s parents have been desperate for her to become super famous. Another one of Kim and Kanye’s possible motives for pushing their daughter to start working is incredibly self-serving. 

Over the last several months, North has been extremely busy. She launched a music career when she rapped on stage with her dad at several of his live shows, collaborated with him on a song, and even appeared in the music video for the track. 

According to Forbes, during a live performance in March, North revealed that she was going to be releasing her first album soon, titled Elementary School Dropout. But she hasn’t only been making waves in the industry because of her famously problematic father.

North has accompanied her mom to a variety of high-profile events. She also made more appearances on the last season of The Kardashians than she did previously. 

She’s continued regularly posting on her TikTok account as well. Several of her videos either feature cameos from her mom or appear to promote products from one of Kim’s brands.

North has been very involved with her parents’ work lately. People have started to criticize Kim and Kanye for not allowing her to be an actual child. Many of their critics have also accused them of forcing their daughter into fame just to boost their own careers. 

Kanye and Kim Aren’t Popular with the Newer Generation

Kim’s popularity has been declining. Many online reports have claimed that since the start of this year, she’s lost 3 million followers. Kanye’s numerous controversies have caused him to lose business deals, and his rap career has suffered. 

The newer generation doesn’t seem very interested in feeding into Kim and Kanye’s obsessions with staying relevant and famous. As a result, they’ve been trying to remain relevant and save their failing careers by exploiting North.

Even if Kim and Kanye’s fame hadn’t changed, it’s possible that they would still be pushing their daughter into working. There’s another reason why they desperately want North to become extremely famous, and it’s honestly unbelievable.

For years, people have been accusing both Kanye and Kim of having narcissistic tendencies. In an episode of The Kardashians that aired last fall, Kim was even called a narcissist by her own sister. Unfortunately, the majority of narcissistic parents tend to have a very damaging perspective on their own children.

In an article published by CNBC, Dr. Ramani Durvasula, a psychologist, discussed some of the most common, toxic traits of narcissistic parents. She said that they typically view their kids “as an extension of themselves,” which is incredibly harmful. 

Dr. Ramani explained that many children are only praised by their narcissistic parents if they do exactly what their parents want them to do. She added that a lot of kids are so desperate to be valued by their narcissistic parents that they will do whatever it takes “to fit the mold their parents set for them.” Dr. Ramani also mentioned that children will even sacrifice their own interests and goals, or other parts of their identity, just to please their narcissistic parents. 

Sadly, this could potentially already be happening with North. What she revealed last fall was absolutely unreal.

North Is Treated Like an Extension of Kim and Kanye

According to People Magazine, North was interviewed last October by i-D magazine. She was also featured on the cover of their Fall/Winter issue. 

During the interview, she mentioned that she has a lot of goals she’d like to accomplish when she’s older. She explained that she wants to be a basketball player, an artist, and a rapper someday. 

North also claimed that in the future, she hopes to take over her parents’ businesses, including Yeezy and SKIMS. Of course, it’s possible that she really does want to own her parents’ businesses when she grows up. 

It’s hard not to wonder whether she actually wants to do this, or if she just feels like she has to. If Kim and Kanye really are narcissistic parents, that could explain a lot about how they treat North. 

If they do actually view their daughter as an extension of themselves, they might want her to become super famous because that’s exactly what they want for themselves.

Hopefully, North is able to decide what she wants to do sooner rather than later and doesn’t feel the need to win her parents over by following in their footsteps. 

Otherwise, she could spend years feeling like she’s never going to be good enough for Kim and Kanye. 

Khloe Kardashian Exposes Kim’s Toxic Parenting

Khloe Kardashian is throwing major shade at Kim for how she chooses to prioritize her life over her kids. In the trailer for season 5 of The Kardashians, the sisters appeared to be feuding with each other over their insanely different perspectives on parenting. 

But how exactly has Khloe been criticizing Kim as a mother? The truth about what she’s revealed and how Kim has been parenting lately is seriously crazy.

Kim has been accused by many of her critics of being an uninvolved mother. But now, even her own sister is calling her out for not being a very present parent. 

The teaser trailer for the upcoming season of The Kardashians was recently released. It shows Khloe disapproving of Kim’s ongoing decision to prioritize her work over her children. 

At the beginning of the video, Kim claimed that she and her famous family members had all made the same vow to themselves last year. They would take the year to slow down and live in the moment.

But according to Khloe, they hadn’t been able to follow through with that commitment. She explained that aside from her, everybody in the family had been busy doing the same thing. 

But she also hinted at the reason why she hadn’t been joining her mom and siblings. Khloe implied that she had been watching her sisters’ kids while they traveled. It sounded like some of them were gone pretty frequently. 

Kim Struggles to Balance Work and Family

But then, Kim attempted to defend herself and her absent parenting in an honestly bizarre way. She said that everyone has a different definition of success. 

While that may be true in business, if someone barely ever chooses to spend time with their children, most people wouldn’t consider them to be a very successful parent. 

Kris alluded to some challenges that Kim had been facing as a result of being a working mom. However, when she asked Kim if she had talked about her struggles to Khloe yet, Kim said no. She added that Khloe was simply too judgmental.

RELATED: Bodyguard Exposes the Truth About Kris Jenner

Let’s be real. Khloe’s frustration with Kim over how much time she was spending away from her kids is completely understandable. 

Kim has been talking about how difficult it’s been to balance her family life with her busy schedule for quite a while. However, it seems like she never actually does anything to improve the situation. 

Not to mention, Kim’s choice to continue dedicating more of her time to her career than to her kids has most likely been negatively affecting Khloe. Khloe has her hands full with raising her two young children. She also has her own career to worry about. 

Whenever she ends up having to take care of Kim’s kids, it just adds to the amount of responsibilities and stress already in her life. 

In the past, Khloe has mentioned that she enjoys spending time with her nieces and nephews. But based on how annoyed she was in the trailer, it sounds like Kim had been taking advantage of her willingness to help out with the kids.

The Season Was Filmed Over 6 Months Ago

According to The Hollywood Reporter, filming for season 5 of The Kardashians took place toward the end of last year. The teaser clip hinted at Kourtney being rushed into the operating room for emergency fetal surgery, which happened in September. 

That means it’s been over half a year since Khloe shaded her sister for not being a present parent, but Kim is still working all the time. Just over the last few months, the amount of meetings and events that she’s attended is honestly outrageous. 

RELATED: The Tragedy of Kourtney and Travis’ Baby, Rocky

People magazine reported that at the end of January, Kim traveled by plane to Paris. While attending Couture Week, she appeared at the Maison Margiela haute couture spring 2024 show. She took another trip less than two weeks later but for a totally different reason.

According to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation website, on February 9th, Kim visited two separate prisons in Chowchilla, which is about 255 miles from her home in Hidden Hills. Apparently, she was filming for her family’s reality show while she toured the facilities. 

But just one day later, she was living it up in a neighboring state. An article published by Page Six revealed that Kim spent Super Bowl weekend in Las Vegas. 

She reportedly enjoyed the nightlife with Odell Beckham Jr. on Saturday and attended the big game on Sunday. Afterward, she spent the rest of the evening partying again.

Kim Has Not Scaled Back Her Travels

Not surprisingly, her schedule for March was also incredibly busy. According to People magazine, not even three weeks after Kim’s weekend in Las Vegas, she left the country again to attend Paris Fashion Week. 

Days after appearing at the Balenciaga show, Vogue Australia reported that she was spotted at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty. Honestly, it seems like Kim spends more time traveling and getting glammed up for her appearances than she does with her children. It might be different if she needed the money, but we all know that’s definitely not the case. 

In April, People Magazine published an article about Kim’s recent appearances, including the Breakthrough Prize ceremony and the 2024 Lo Máximo Awards. According to CNN, she flew to Washington, D.C. later that month for a seriously shocking reason.

RELATED: The Shocking Downfall of Kim Kardashian

Kim accompanied Vice President Kamala Harris for a conversation about the pardons President Joe Biden had issued one day earlier. The people who had received pardons also joined the discussion, which was held at the White House. 

But about a week after she returned to California, she was already back on the East Coast again. Just recently, Kim traveled to New York City, where she made a red carpet appearance at the Met Gala. 

Instead of flying home to spend quality time with her kids, what she did after the event was absolutely insane.

People Magazine reported that right after Kim left the Met Gala, she flew to Hamburg, Germany, where she attended the 2024 OMR Festival. On both days of the conference, she spoke on a guest panel alongside other entrepreneurs and “digital professionals.”  

Kim’s Children Are Cared For By Nannies

Believe it or not, those are only the major appearances that Kim has attended over the last few months. She also goes to photoshoots, and business meetings, and frequently stops by her office at the SKIMS headquarters as well.

Kim obviously hasn’t cut back on the amount of work she’s been doing, considering she’s constantly away from home. She isn’t physically present in her children’s lives very often, so it’s unlikely that she’s emotionally present for them either. 

Kim’s four kids are between the ages of 5 and 10 years old, so they’re still young and impressionable. It’s ridiculous that she thinks her absence from their daily lives is justified just because she’s working, especially since she doesn’t need the extra income. It seems like she’s content to have her children basically raised by nannies.

According to what a source told Life & Style, Kim regularly works 14 to 16-hour days. Meanwhile, her kids are cared for by a team of six nannies, also working long hours. 

That’s not even the craziest part. An insider revealed to The U.S. Sun that Kim tries to balance motherhood with her career by scheduling 15 minutes to spend with each of her children per day. 

But sadly, that isn’t even guaranteed to happen. Sometimes, Kim’s work schedule is too packed for her to fit in any bonding time with her kids. It’s no wonder Khloe is criticizing Kim for prioritizing work over her children. 

It sounds like it isn’t important to her to be present and involved in her kids’ lives. Unfortunately, that probably won’t be changing anytime soon either, based on how busy her work life has been over the last few months. It’ll be interesting to see exactly what Khloe says about her sister’s parenting on season 5 of The Kardashians

The Downfall of Ja Rule

Photo credit: Ja Rule/Instagram

Ja Rule was one of the biggest names in music during the early 2000s. 

He reached superstar level in 2001 with 3 of his songs getting to no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

His song Always on Time featuring Ashanti, and his guest appearances on J Lo’s I’m Real and Ain’t It Funny quickly made him a household name. 

Ja Rule’s Career 

His second and third albums were critically and commercially successful, too.

But some say that Ja Rule’s lucky streak ran out in 2003. 

Two major things in his life happened around that time that had a big negative impact on his career.

And things started to go downhill for him. 

One big setback had to do with Irv Gotti’s record label that Ja Rule was signed with. 

Ranker reported that in early 2003, the offices of The Inc. Records were raided by federal agents because of an alleged connection to money laundering and illegal substances.

RELATED: Diddy’s Houses Raided by Homeland Security

It meant that all of the label’s music ventures had to be shelved. 

The parent label, Def Jam, ended up blocking some of Ja Rule’s old music, which temporarily stopped him from earning any money off it. 

His name also got caught up in the controversy that was attracting a lot of negative press.

The record label rebranded itself and put out Ja Rule’s 5th studio album, Blood In My Eye, which reportedly didn’t have the same kind of commercial success as his older work.

It was also considered to be a hate album because of all the diss tracks it had on it.

Ja Rule and 50 Cent Rivalry

Which is connected to another theory about why Ja Rule’s career began to suffer around that time. 

According to Bleumag, his sour relationships with other rappers in the industry took a toll on his reputation.

Especially the public feud he had with 50 Cent.

It’s unclear exactly how their rivalry first began.

Both rappers have given different reasons for it. 

Ja Rule told MTV News that he didn’t start the negativity between them.

He said that things went south between them when he was shooting a music video on a street in New York, and 50 Cent came to watch.

He claimed that they ended up greeting each other, but that 50 Cent didn’t think Ja Rule’s reaction was good enough, and that he didn’t like the attention Ja Rule was getting from bystanders on the street, either.

He went on to say that the next thing he knew, 50 Cent was using his music to diss him and other rappers, too.

In his interview with MTV, Ja Rule said that 50 Cent’s strategy back then was: “I’m gonna use other big rappers’ names and diss and downplay them to bring attention to me.

He admitted that it was a great plan, but all that he was doing was creating hatred for himself from other artists.

When he made a diss record about Ja Rule, he didn’t think it was funny or cool.

But 50 Cent had a different version of events.

Ja Rule Said, ‘We Ain’t Beefing No More…’ 

In his memoir, From Pieces to Weight, he claimed that a friend of his robbed one of Ja Rule’s chains, and that was what turned Ja Rule against him.

From the moment that 50 Cent made it big with his 2003 album, the two began publicly insulting each other in radio interviews and releasing diss tracks.

A report by Inquisitr revealed that during a 2011 interview with The Life Files, Ja Rule claimed that the dispute between him and 50 Cent had finally ended.

He told the interviewer “We ain’t beefing no more… He’s doing him, and he’s not thinking about me, and I’m doing me and I’m not thinking about him.”

According to Ranker, in 2013, the two rappers bumped into each other on a flight and hashed things out.

Ja Rule explained that what happened between them was a long time ago, and that they were both all about their money, and their families.

Ja Rule Threw Shade at Eminem and His Family

But 50 Cent wasn’t the only rapper who got into Ja Rule’s bad books. 

Ranker also reported that he and Eminem had some back and forth, too. 

Ja Rule released a song called Loose Change in 2008 that threw shade at Eminem and his family, and accused him of not understanding ‘Black Pain’.

He reportedly mocked Eminem’s mom and ex-wife.

But the biggest blow he gave was when he questioned what his daughter Hailie was going to be when she grew up.

Eminem responded by releasing his song Doe Rae Me (Hailie’s Revenge), featuring members from his rap group D12. 

The song made fun of Ja Rule for imitating Tupac Shakur’s rapping style, and Eminem warned him never to bring up his daughter’s name again.

Bleumag claimed that the public feuding with other big rappers at the time seemingly had a negative effect on his music career.

Ja Rule Started His Own Independent Label

His last few albums with The Inc. Records did not compare to the earlier ones that were released by the label.

In 2009, Ja Rule left his longtime record company. 

He started his own independent label, which he named Mpire Music Group.

It was under Mpire that he dropped his 7th studio album, Pain is Love 2, a sequel to his hit 2001 album.

But a report by Complex revealed that the album ended up as one of the lowest first-week album sales of 2012, with just 3,200 copies sold.

Ja Rule’s Time Behind Bars

Ja Rule wasn’t even able to promote the album, because when it came out, he was behind bars.

He’d had some trouble with the law just a couple years earlier. 

According to a Reuters article, he pleaded guilty in 2011 to failing to file tax returns over a 5-year period.

He was sentenced to 28 months in prison because he’d reportedly failed to pay $1.1 million in taxes between the years 2004-2008.

On top of that, he was also sentenced to 2 years in prison because of attempted criminal possession of a weapon.

He was eventually released in 2013.

Ja Rule’s Scandals

But that wasn’t Ja Rule’s last run-in with the law.

Ranker reported that in 2015, he was hired by an entrepreneur named Billy McFarland to be the creative head and spokesman for a new credit card service. 

It was called Magnises, and its objective was to become an exclusive Black Card with special perks & VIP access for millennials.

Customers paid $250 a year for the service. 

But Business Insider released an article about how many of the members said that the perks and rewards they were promised never arrived and were often canceled at the last minute.

A couple years later, Ja Rule was involved in an even bigger scandal.

One that would shadow him for years to come.

He was one of the organizers of the Fyre Festival of 2017 that gained the reputation of being one of the most failed attempts at a festival ever.

Us Weekly reported that the Festival quickly turned from a highly anticipated music event to an infamous disaster. 

Ja Rule had once again partnered with Billy. 

To drum up excitement, they enlisted celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Hailey Baldwin, and Emily Ratajkowski to spread the word about the event on social media. 

However, when the festival unfolded on the Bahamian island of Great Exuma, it was anything but glamorous.

Attendees ended up with a whole bunch of problems, like a lack of security and food, terrible accommodations, poor medical services, and strained artist relations. 

Things got so bad that the festival had to be canceled, leaving many festival-goers stranded on the remote island that they’d paid hundreds of dollars to get to.

It was such a catastrophe that Netflix even released a documentary about the event in 2019.

Ja Rule and Billy were hit with multiple lawsuits. 

But in the end, the rapper was never imprisoned for his involvement with the festival mess.

A judge cleared him of any wrongdoing in late 2019.

Ja Rule’s Tour Canceled Due to Criminal Record

Ja Rule still performs and makes music to this day.

In a 2016 interview with AOL, he announced that his 8th album, Coup De Grâce, was going to be his last.

But at the start of 2024, he took to Twitter to announce that he’d signed a deal with a new label that was potentially worth a hundred million dollars.

He also revealed that he had plans for a 25th anniversary tour, which would include places like England, Ireland, and Scotland, and more global dates to be announced later.

However in February 2024, PEOPLE shared that the performances in the UK had been canceled because of his criminal record.

In a Twitter update, Ja Rule wrote that he was so devastated, and he couldn’t believe the UK wouldn’t let him in.

He revealed that he’d spent half a million dollars in production of his own money to put the tour together, only to be denied entry days before his shows.
