Trey Songz finally reached a settlement with a woman who accused him of SA. According to Radar Online, this particular lawsuit has been going on for years.
Trey’s team of attorneys has been working with the victim’s team of attorneys for some time to try to settle the case. There was even a trial set for the case on September 16, 2024. Since Trey finally settled the lawsuit, the trial will no longer be happening.
The lawsuit is from an anonymous woman known as Jane Doe. According to her lawsuit, the attack occurred on March 24, 2016.
She and Trey first met while going to an LA nightclub. They both enjoyed going to the club, so they’d often end up meeting at a few of them over the years.
They became friends as a result. Jane said that they’d been intimate together before, too. On the night of the alleged incident, however, things were different.
The Event Deeply Affected Jane
She was invited to a party that he was hosting at his LA home. It was a private party, so there weren’t as many people around.
At one point in the evening, Trey asked her to go upstairs with him. She believed they were going to have a consensual, intimate, night together. That wasn’t what happened, she alleged.
All through the night, and especially as they were making their way upstairs, Trey kept pressuring her. Jane wasn’t interested and said no. He kept asking, and she kept saying no.
It was when they were in the bedroom that she said that the SA occurred, and the allegations were disturbing. Jane also said that she ran into Trey several times after the attack took place. Each time, he verbally attacked her in front of others.
Although Jane had an opportunity to talk to the police, she said she didn’t because she was scared of Trey. Her lawyer said that Jane hadn’t been able to hold down a job since then. The emotional distress of that night had affected her deeply.
In response, Trey asked the judge to dismiss the lawsuit. The lawyer representing Jane Doe has also been the lawyer for two other women who have accused Trey of assaulting them.
In those cases, the judge chose to dismiss them. However, the judge didn’t dismiss this lawsuit, which led to Trey finally settling with Jane Doe.
The original lawsuit asked for $25 million. The settlement didn’t disclose how much Jane Doe received, but Trey and his lawyer called the settlement a victory.
The police were investigating the crime at the time until the district attorney dismissed the case.
The crime was technically out of the 10-year statute of limitations, so the investigation couldn’t move forward.
TI and Tiny talked about the lawsuit, at the time, saying that they had been denying the allegations for three years already.
Jane Doe seemed to have been asking for some recompensation before she filed the lawsuit because TI and his wife said that they had been refusing their demands for three years.
TI and Tiny Called the Demands ‘Extortionate’
They called the demands “extortionate.”
They also said that they have remained firm in their story of what happened, while Jane Doe’s story has changed over time.
They proclaimed their innocence then, and they’re doing the same now.
Jane Doe filed another lawsuit under the Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act in California in 2024.
This law allows victims to file lawsuits regardless of how long it’s been since the crime happened.
According to the lawsuit, Jane Doe said that she was at a nightclub with some friends when she was invited to the VIP section where TI and Tiny were partying.
A source spoke to In Touch about his wedding to Laura.
Who Attended Reba McEntire’s Ex’s, Narvel Blackstock, Ceremony?
They said that Narvel and Reba’s son, Shelby Blackstock, attended the ceremony.
Other family members were there, too.
Another one of Narvel’s sons is Brandon Blackstock, who used to be married to Kelly Clarkson.
Brandon and Kelly have two children together, River Rose and Remington Alexander.
The two kids were at the wedding, too.
They were even seen on the dance floor in a clip that Shelby shared on his Instagram Story.
Other guests included Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton.
Blake reportedly officiated the wedding, which, according to what the source told In Touch, took place at The Hermitage Hotel in Nashville.
How Long Were Laura and Narvel in a Relationship?
Laura and Narvel have reportedly been in a relationship for many years now.
Reports about them dating first started coming out in early 2016.
In January of that year, Page Sixspoke to an insider source.
The source claimed that Narvel was dating Laura, a local real estate agent who used to be Reba’s friend.
According to the source, their relationship came as a surprise.
No one saw it coming.
The source also claimed that their relationship was serious.
They said: “It’s unclear when they started dating. The word on the street is that they’re getting married.”
Those reports ended up not being true, as the couple only tied the knot now, 8 years later.
However, it still caused quite a stir in 2016, especially because of the timing.
Reba and Narvel were married for 26 years.
They only got divorced in 2015.
And by January 2016, there were already reports about Laura and Narvel being in a relationship.
Reba Opened up About Her and Narvel’s Marriage
In March 2024, Reba opened up about her and Narvel’s marriage.
She was on The Drew Barrymore Show, and she talked about how things were between them during their many years together.
Narvel used to be more than Reba’s husband – he also worked as her manager.
And according to Reba, this meant that their relationship was always about business.
She said: “He was part of the band, and then became my manager, later on then my husband, but it was a situation that was always business – whether we were getting ready in the morning, pillow talk, whatever, but it was business.”
She said that she thought that some people could make a setup like this work – they could be married and work together.
But when it came to her and Narvel’s marriage, it was always about work.
Who is Reba Dating Now?
These days, Reba and Narvel have both moved on.
The reports about Narvel and Laura’s wedding came out just a day after Reba opened up about her own relationship.
She is dating an actor named Rex Linn.
The two of them are not married, but Reba seems open to the idea.
She spoke to E! News and said that if Rex feels strongly about marriage, then that’s fine with her.
She pointed out that he’d never been married before.
And she said: “So, if he wants to experience that, I’m OK with that.”
However, it seems that Reba doesn’t feel the need to tie the knot any time soon.
While she’s open to it, she also said that she’s truly committed to Rex.
The two of them have apparently been inseparable since June 2020.
So, she doesn’t believe that a piece of paper or a ring is necessary to bind them together.
After being married to a man named Lamar Sally for years and even trying to have a baby with him, Sherri Shepherd just decided to randomly up and leave one day. Shockingly enough, she abandoned her unborn son in the process, leaving Lamar a single, broke parent — and her reasoning behind it is seriously insane.
Back in 2014, Sherri decided that she no longer wanted to be married to Lamar, and to his surprise, she also no longer wanted to be a mother. When she broke the news to him, Lamar was shocked. He supposedly had no idea what could have made her change her mind like that, especially since they’d been trying to have a baby for so long.
Sherri Never Felt Like the Baby Was Hers
The whole thing seems so strange, and it’s really confusing why she would act the way she did. But according to Sherri, she never really felt like the baby was hers in the first place. Sherri has spent years trying to clear her name and remove herself from the situation altogether.
However, she still pays child support to this day, which means that she hasn’t fully left the kid high and dry. Regardless of the payments, though, Lamar has had a lot to say about the situation, and it’s hard to know just who exactly is telling the truth here.
So, let’s take a look at where it all started. Sherri and Lamar first got married in 2011, and they seemed to be off to a great start in their relationship. When recounting the start of their relationship, Lamar said that Sherri made it clear to him from the start that she wanted to have a baby.
In fact, he said that she practically wanted a family since the moment they first met back in November 2009. Lamar said that just two days after they first met, they had a six-hour phone conversation, which he claimed was a marathon of questions.
Sherri apparently grilled him about whether or not he wanted to start a family — something that he constantly assured her that he did. He also claimed that Sherri wanted her son Jeffrey, who she had with her previous husband, to have a sibling.
Just after one year of dating, the two of them got engaged, which was something that Lamar allegedly felt somewhat pressured into doing. But they were madly in love, and he still wanted to be with her, so he moved in with her in New York. Sherri had supposedly also made it clear to him that she didn’t want to be intimate until they were married.
And according to Lamar, the plan was always to get married and immediately have a baby. Once they finally tied the knot, they went straight into trying IVF, but they were unsuccessful, as Sherri didn’t have any viable eggs.
Sherri and Lamar Found a Surrogate
Lamar remembered that moment and said that Sherri was sobbing and felt like less of a woman because she couldn’t give him a child. But they still wanted a family, so they resorted to plan B, which was to get a surrogate — something that they both paid and searched for.
They even used facial recognition software to find a surrogate who would match Sherri’s facial characteristics as much as possible. It seemed like Sherri was extremely excited. She even told the Tom Joyner Morning Show about finding a surrogate so that they could have a baby.
But then, when the surrogate was five months pregnant, Sherri and Lamar separated, and Sherri claimed that she no longer wanted anything to do with him or the baby. Lamar said that he was shocked when she said that she just couldn’t do it anymore and that he needed to take the baby and move to LA.
While the two of them had relationship problems, Lamar claimed that they didn’t really fight all that much. He added Sherri needed to confront any issues they did have head-on and not run away from them. At that point, Lamar said that he even looked through Sherri’s email and saw that she already had a lawyer on retainer.
And allegedly, in one email from the lawyer, they claimed that they could get her out of the surrogacy contract. According to the divorce papers, Lamar was actually the one to file for the separation. In addition to that, he also requested full legal and physical custody of their unborn baby.
Lamar Requested Full Custody of the Unborn Baby
Lamar requested that Sherri only get reasonable visitation rights and asked for an order that prevented her from interfering with the baby at all. He also asked for spousal support and for Sherri to pay all of his attorney fees and that their prenup be invalidated based on fraud.
And this is where the story really starts to get interesting. Sherri claimed that Lamar has been seeking money from her for years. Although Lamar alleged that he always wanted Sherri to be part of his son’s life, it doesn’t really add up when you look at the court documents.
Why would Lamar request full custody of the child with minor visitation rights for Sherri if he actually wanted Sherri to play an active role in the baby’s life? On top of that, why would he want the prenup to be invalidated, and what evidence did he have of fraud?
Anyone can have a difficult marriage and end up getting a divorce, and it doesn’t mean that the marriage was fraudulent. Although it’s clear that Lamar felt wronged by the situation, it’s hard to take everything he says as the complete truth.
Following the divorce, Sherri fought to keep her name off of the birth certificate once the baby was born. But unfortunately for her, a judge ruled against it and claimed that not only did she have to keep her name on the birth certificate, but she also had to pay child support.
Sherri Was Accountable for Child Support
Even though Sherri doesn’t have any genetic connection to the child, the fact that she helped pay for and pursue the surrogate was enough to hold her accountable. Strangely enough, though, not long after the judge decided Sherri needed to pay, Lamar took her back to court to demand a higher payment.
But this time, the judge ruled in her favor, since Lamar had actually brought her to court in California, which didn’t have jurisdiction over the case. After the win, Sherri’s representatives said they hoped Lamar would finally stop his useless attempts to get money from her.
They apparently hoped that he would seek a real job and take care of his child just like any other parent would. While both of them paint a pretty negative picture of the other, there’s still a question as to why Sherri left in the first place.
Sherri struggled with severe trust issues after the relationship she was in before Lamar, which also seemed to creep into their relationship. On top of that, it’s possible that Sherri felt like Lamar was only using her for her money, as he was a stay-at-home husband who didn’t work at the time.
Lamar even admitted that Sherri would constantly ask him to get a job and contribute. But it seemed like he just felt like it was too difficult to find work and would rather spend his time taking care of the house. While we don’t really know this for sure, it is also possible that Sherri felt like Lamar was trying to trap her with the baby.
What Really Happened Between Sherri and Lamar?
Although she wanted a baby at first, Lamar might have shown her some less-than-attractive behavior throughout their marriage. She might’ve started to get really scared when the surrogate was actually pregnant and it was REALLY happening.
This theory would also explain his constant attempts to get higher child support payments. Then again, this really is all just speculation. With all this being said, it seems clear that there were some deep-rooted issues in that relationship.
Years after the shocking allegations first came out, YNW Melly still sits behind bars awaiting his fate.
The rapper best known for his association with Kanye West is the defendant in a case that saw his trajectory as a rising star come to a crashing halt in 2019.
Is Rapper YNW Melly Guilty For Killing Two of His Friends?
In February that year, the state of Florida charged Melly and an accomplice with some shocking crimes.
He was alleged to have taken the lives of two of his own friends.
The tragic incident had occurred the previous year.
CTV News reported that two other aspiring rappers had passed away in October 2018.
The report described the two men, 21-year-old Anthony Williams and 19-year-old Chitopher Thomas, as being “riddled with gunshot wounds”.
They both passed away after being rushed by a friend to a hospital emergency room.
Both were members of the YNW rap group that Melly also belonged to.
YNW Melly Said, ‘They Took My Brothers Over Jealousy’
Following the news, Melly publicly grieved for his fellow group members’ tragic passing.
He wrote on Instagram, “They took my brothers over jealousy”, before going on to add, “I know y’all watching over me.”
But despite appearing to show his horror at what had happened, a few months later he was arrested on suspicion of being responsible for the crime.
Melly, whose real name is Jamell Demons, was 19 years old when police first took him in.
YNW Melly’s Promising Rap Career May Be Over
The arrest brought to a grinding halt what was looking to be an incredibly promising rap career.
CNN reported that he had just started a concert tour across the US. During a previous incarceration, he had released the Collect Call EP, featuring collabs with artists such as Lil B.
Music videos for three of his singles went viral, quickly attracting tens of millions of views.
The following year saw his stock rise even higher.
He released his debut mixtape, I Am You, which reached the Billboard 200, and drew the attention of some of the world’s biggest stars.
At the start of 2019, just before his world started to collapse, Melly got the opportunity to work with his alleged idol, Kanye.
Their song, Mixed Personalities, racked up over 17 million views, and went on to become twice certified platinum in the US.
But by the time of its release, Melly was already in jail.
What YNW Melly Said About the Murders of His Friends
Police alleged that Melly had fatally shot his friends in a premeditated attack before staging the crime scene to look like a drive-by shooting.
Melly addressed the police statements in a message to his Instagram following.
He began by writing, “I want you guys to know I love you and appreciate every single one of y’all.”
He then went on to give his side of the story.
He wrote, “[A] couple of months ago I lost my two brothers by violence and now the system wants to find justice.”
He continued, “unfortunately a lot of rumors and lies are being said but no worries, God is with me and my brother”, in reference to the other friend who was arrested alongside Melly.
The caption concluded with the hashtag #freeus.
Court records showed that Melly was given no bond, and the zigs and zags of his legal process since then have kept him in jail for years now.
YNW Melly’s Multiple Arrests
Melly had been in jail several times already before he had even reached twenty years of age.
Melly sat in jail for around three years, his trial being due to take place in March 2022.
However, a string of delays and resets saw the date pushed back to June.
His lawyers submitted a speedy trial request to force through Melly’s day in court.
YNW Melly’s Alleged Plan to Escape Jail
While awaiting trial, Complex reported that the rapper was alleged to have planned an escape.
It was claimed that the Sheriff’s Office received a “confidential tip” that Melly and his friend planned to have their attorney bring them two handcuff keys.
The source also allegedly told officers that the pair were hiding a weapon in one of their cells, which was later confirmed to be true.
However, no key was ever found.
Is YNW Melly Facing the Death Penalty?
Despite initially being told that he had no chance of facing capital punishment, the decision was later overturned, leaving the death penalty a possibility if Melly’s found guilty.
Even after the trial began, more bizarre delays stretched the process out even further.
AOL reported that the trial was halted after one of the defense attorneys became ill during a lunch break.
But the drama was far from over.
Prosecutors showed the jury evidence in the form of video footage which showed that Melly had lied about his friends passing away in a drive-by shooting.
The evidence showed that the fatal shots were fired from inside the car where the victims were sitting.
Despite this huge breakthrough, the jurors were unable to come to a verdict, and a mistrial was declared.
Why Was Melly’s Bond Denied?
A new trial was set, but Melly was once again denied bond.
The new trial was then put on hold just this year.
In January, prosecutors filed an appeal after the judge blocked a documentary about Melly from being used as evidence.
The rollercoaster ride of a trial is the reason why Melly is still awaiting his verdict.
No matter what the court decides, however, it seems unlikely that Melly will ever again return to the stratospheric trajectory he seemed destined for.
Mama June’s husband Justin is turning against her. Now, he’s siding with her daughters in their fight. It all started when Alana – aka Honey Boo Boo – accused Mama June of stealing money from her.
Her older sister Pumpkin found out that there was only $33,000 in Alana’s Coogan account. This account was supposed to have all the money that Alana earned as a child star.
So $33,000 seemed like a pretty small sum. Alana herself said that there should be at least six figures in the Coogan account.
Initially, the sisters were confused about what was going on. They wanted to know where the money was.
Eventually, they found out – and it seemed like it was all Mama June’s fault. She confessed that she owed Alana some money. But she also provided a pretty complicated explanation about what happened with the rest and how she wasn’t actually the villain in all this.
Despite her defenses, not everyone believed her. People still thought that what she did was wrong. I mean, some of the comments that she made about there being high taxes on the money in the account just didn’t make a lot of sense.
So you can see how all this would create a ton of drama in the family. It even caused a rift between Mama June and her husband, Justin Stroud.
He wasn’t happy about Mama June’s behavior. He took Alana’s side in all this.
Justin Isn’t Okay with What Happened
In an episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, he said: “Before it’s all said and done, she’s going to ruin this marriage and her relationship with the kids if things don’t change.” He clearly wasn’t there for all her lies and excuses.
He even accused her of thinking that he was an idiot. After Mama June said that a lot of the money wasn’t there because of high taxes, Justin said: “Cali’s tax is high but it ain’t that high.” He also claimed that Mama June was trying to convince herself that she did the right thing.
He actually said that he wasn’t okay with what happened. And he had a pretty touching reason for that.
It’s obvious that Justin cares about his relationship with Mama June’s daughters. He had this to say: “They look at me like a stepdad and I’m thrown into a bunch of lying and stolen money, she doesn’t understand that it doesn’t just affect her, it affects all of us.”
Justin added that Mama June’s behavior really threatened his relationship with her daughters. He said that it all makes him look like a villain because there is money missing. But obviously, he has nothing to do with that.
He doesn’t want people to think that he does, especially Alana and Pumpkin. He clearly cares about the bond they’ve built, and he doesn’t want to get dragged down by Mama June and her selfish actions.
The good thing about all this is that the girls definitely know where Justin stands on all this. He’s made it very clear to pretty much everyone. This includes Mama June, who he had a pretty explosive argument with.
Alana Accused Mama June of Lying
On Mama June: Family Crisis, we got to see an especially awkward family dinner. Alana was clearly still super upset with Mama June and her actions. She accused her of lying.
Alana later talked to her sister Jessica about the whole thing. Jessica said that she talked to Justin about how things were between him and Mama June.
She said: “He was basically saying she just wanted it to ride out.” But then she added that this might not exactly work out for Mama June. She might have to keep riding out without a husband.
It’s clear that Justin just isn’t okay with her actions. He wants nothing to do with what she did and how she keeps treating the entire situation.
She keeps refusing to take responsibility for what happened. She even seems to think that she should get some credit for how she’s been handling this.
Justin clearly doesn’t agree with this. During one of their arguments, he even told her that it’s not always about her. She doesn’t seem to get his point.
Justin Has Focused on His Sobriety
It’s obvious that their marriage is not in the best place at this point in the show. Even the rest of the family can clearly see this.
When Justin and Mama June walked into the family dinner together, everyone immediately noticed that something was off between them. Alana said that usually, the couple walk in holding hands.
They’re always pretty lovey-dovey, and Justin often dotes on Mama June. But this time, they didn’t walk in like that.
Pumpkin shared her opinion on this. She said: “I think a big part of Justin being so angry at Mama and them arguing and stuff about the money is because Justin is on the right path.” She noted that Justin has been working hard on his sobriety.
He’s been doing really well lately. He’s been surrounding himself with the right people, and cutting out those who lie or aren’t responsible enough.
This has caused issues between Mama June and Justin. If he only wants to be around people who own up to their own mistakes, then Mama June’s behavior must be especially frustrating. She’s his wife, but she’s doing exactly the kinds of things that he doesn’t want anything to do with anymore.
Pumpkin noted that in a way, this could be good for Mama June. She said that someone needs to hold her responsible for the things she’s done.
The rest of the family hasn’t always been the best at doing that. But Justin seems to be doing it now, which might be good.
At the same time, it might not actually help Mama June at all. If she still isn’t willing to take responsibility for her actions despite the pressure from Justin, then things might not actually change. They might just get worse for her.
Mama June and Justin Are at Risk of Divorce
I’m just not sure how long Justin will be able to tolerate all this. Alana and Pumpkin even agreed that divorce could be a possibility for the couple in the future.
They’d never seen Justin yell at Mama June so much before. They believed that he could eventually leave her if she didn’t get her act together.
It’s hard to say what will happen in the future. Obviously, the show was filmed a while ago, so things have probably developed since then. But I think Alana and Pumpkin might have a point.
Right now, Justin seems genuinely fed up with his wife. Things will definitely have to change one way or another. Either she owns up to her actions, or who knows what Justin might do.
It will be interesting to see how all this develops. The best way to deal with all this would be if Mama June actually owned up to what she did and worked with her family to fix things.
But it seems like right now, her strategy is just to wait and see what happens. Justin clearly isn’t a big fan of that plan.
They’ve been married for a little over two years now. It would be a shame if it all ended because of money issues. But at this stage, it looks like this could be a real possibility.

Ryan Edwards from Teen Mom is demanding split custody of his two youngest kids. The U.S. Sun has obtained court documents connected to Ryan’s divorce from his ex, Mackenzie Edwards. Ryan reportedly made this filing on March 6th, 2024.
This is already the second time the two have attempted to get a divorce. In February 2023, Mackenzie filed for divorce from Ryan.
The case was dismissed a year later, in February 2024. The reason for this was that there were no filings in the case for 270 days.
Ryan was the one who initiated their second attempt at getting divorced. According to the court documents obtained by The Sun, he wants 50/50 custody of his and Mackenzie’s kids.
Ryan and Mackenzie share two kids, Jagger and Stella, who are five and four years old. Both of the parents also have kids from previous relationships.
Ryan is the father of 15-year-old Bentley, who he shares with Maci Bookout from Teen Mom. Mackenzie has a 10-year-old son, Hudson, with her ex-husband, Zachary Stephens.
But, according to the court documents obtained by the Sun, Ryan isn’t just demanding split custody of Jagger and Stella in the divorce filing. He is also asking to be made the primary residential parent of the two kids. In addition, he also wants the court to order Mackenzie to pay child support to him.
For the past year, it was Mackenzie who had temporary custody of the kids. The U.S. Sun obtained the court documents from her February 2023 divorce filing as well.
Mackenzie Was Worried About the Kids’ Safety
According to these documents, Mackenzie asked to be made the primary residential parent of the kids. She also filed for a temporary restraining order against Ryan, so that he couldn’t take the kids from her care or from school or daycare. She was granted the restraining order, as well as temporary full custody of the kids.
In the filing, she accused Ryan of criminal and threatening behavior, which she put forward as one of the reasons why she should be granted the restraining order. She also pointed out his history with substances and his criminal history. She said that she was worried about the kids’ safety and well-being when they were around him.
Ryan spent part of last year in prison after he was sentenced to 11 months and 29 days behind bars in April 2023. The U.S. Sun reported his sentencing at the time.
According to the report, he was sent to prison for a total of four charges. He was released early, on December 23rd, 2023, as reported by The Sun at the time.
In the new filing for his divorce, Ryan states that he’s never been convicted of a felony before. He brings this up as a reason why he should be made the primary residential parent of his two kids with Mackenzie.
Also according to the newest court documents, neither he nor Mackenzie are allowed to relocate their kids out of state or more than 50 miles from their marital home. At least not without permission from the court or from the other parent. They’re also not allowed to destroy or hide any electronically stored evidence relating to the case or get rid of property until the divorce is complete.
Ciara has proven that celebrities struggle with shedding baby weight, too. In an Instagram post on April 14th, Ciara gave a shoutout to all the mothers out there.
The picture showed Ciara wearing a grey hoodie with her hair braided and pulled away from her face. In the caption, she said that she was trying to lose 70 pounds she had gained during her pregnancy.
She was also preparing for a tour and a show while taking care of her children. On top of that, Ciara is starting to feel pressure from the business ventures she runs.
She knows she isn’t alone in the struggle, however. She shouted out to the mothers who were also struggling and said that she saw them.
Ciara also used the hashtag MambaMentality, which is a reference to Kobe Bryant and his widow, Vanessa Bryant. The hoodie she was wearing was inspired by Kobe.
Ciara Flaunted Her Figure in a Red Bathing Suit
The post comes after Ciara gave birth to her fourth child, Amora Princess Wilson. She shares Amora with her husband, Russell Wilson, who plays quarterback in the NLF. They also have two other children together, Sienna Princess and Win Harrison.
Ciara has one more child with her ex, Future. His name is Future Zahir.
This isn’t the first time Ciara has shown off her post-partum body, either. In another Instagram post from February, Ciara is seen walking along a deck and into some water with a drink in her hand.
She wore a red bathing suit and did not hide the fact that she still had some of the weight she gained while pregnant. In a caption, Ciara said that she was embracing every stage of life and encouraged others to do so, too.
Her husband was quick to support her post. In a comment, Russell called her a beautiful, Black, Queen and said that he loved her.
Ciara Wants to Lost Weight Before Her Tour
Weight gain with pregnancy can be an issue for some women, particularly celebrities, who are pushed into losing weight as soon as possible. Ciara has been showing that losing weight can be a gradual process, and there’s no shame in how long it takes you. That said, Ciara has a reason for wanting to lose 70 pounds as quickly as she can.
Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, Timbaland, and Ciara are all touring together as part of the Out of This World tour. The tour begins on July 4 in Vancouver, Canada. It will finally end on August 22 in Rosemont, Illinois.
Ciara made an Instagram post when the tour was announced. She said that she was excited to hit the road with the group and encouraged her fans to buy tickets while they could.
Considering how stressful and exhausting tours can be, it makes sense that Ciara is focusing on losing weight before the tour begins. Besides the support of her husband, other friends have also encouraged Ciara to keep up the good work.
Holly Robinson Peete commented on Ciara’s post about her weight loss, saying that if anyone could lose that amount of weight in that amount of time, it was her. Gabrielle Union also commented on the post with some muscle arm emojis.
With the tour beginning in a few months, Ciara has her work cut out for her.

50 Cent is still paying child support even though the child is over 25 years old. According to an interview he had with The Breakfast Club, 50 Cent is still paying $6,700 a month to his son, Marquise. That’s despite the fact that Marquise is over 25 years old and no longer considered a child.
The drama began back when 50 Cent’s ex, and Marquise’s mother, Shaniqua Tompkins asked for more child support money. At the time, he was already paying her $500,000 a year. She said that it wasn’t enough money.
50 Cent knew she wasn’t working and was just living off the money he provided. He did something that most men tend not to do. He decided to go to court to settle just how much child support he should be paying her.
The court ended up reducing her child support from $500,000 a year to $81,000 a year. 50 Cent said he took himself to child support because Shaniqua didn’t understand that he was already giving her far more than she should get from him.
As he had expected, she and their son started to complain that $6,700 a month wasn’t enough either. 50 Cent said that wasn’t surprising and that no matter how much money he gave them, it’d never be enough for them.
He also said that he always took child support seriously and never missed a payment. Sometimes, that even meant he had to move some of his money around in order to afford the payments.
50 Cent Called His Son Entitled
Now, Marquise wants to have a sit-down talk with his dad. But 50 Cent wasn’t buying it. When asked if he thought the offer to have a sit-down was real, 50 Cent said he didn’t think Marquise actually wanted to talk to him.
First, he said that Marquise was entitled and didn’t have any respect for him. He blamed Shaniqua for Marquise’s sense of entitlement. 50 Cent then pointed out that he had given Marquise over $1 million, and his son still didn’t have any respect for him.
He asked, rhetorically, how much money it takes for someone to have a little bit of respect for you. Clearly, he doesn’t believe his son will ever respect him despite giving him a lot of money.
50 Cent also talked about how strange it was that his son was asking for more child support money despite not being a child anymore. Back in 2022, when Marquise was talking about having a sit-down with his dad, he was 25 years old. He wondered when Marquise was going to figure out life and how to work for himself.
He also said that Marquise and his mother don’t know how to manage money. They had a home in Atlanta, but it was foreclosed on because they didn’t have the money to pay it off. Even though they were getting $500,000 a year, and then $81,000 a year, they didn’t know how to manage their money properly.
