Doja Cat opened her Ma Vie world tour in Auckland on November 18. She stepped into a global rollout already charged with anticipation. The pop star’s launch was met with excitement from her fans online. This was punctuated by her all-caps rallying cry on X: “AUCKLAND LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIII.” However, once the lights came up, a wave of criticism began circulating from concertgoers. They felt the show didn’t meet the energy they expected. Many of the early complaints focused on the visual direction of the tour. One user wrote, “Okay no shade, the VIE tour just gives Scarlet with different outfits,” echoing a sentiment that the aesthetic didn’t feel new. Others questioned whether the production had enough support behind it. One fan posted, “i usually be on doja side when she clock kittens but…girl js say ur label ain’t give u budget and keep it pushing [loudly crying emoji].” The commentary quickly spread, setting the tone for a tense exchange. Doja Cat responded head-on, refusing to soften her pushback. In one striking message, she wrote, “And I’m not your fcking costume monkey; I move at my own pace and break my fcking back out there every night. So you can keep your bullsh*t opinion to yourself. You are not the artist; you are the watcher.” Her comments prompted a fresh round of debate. This focused on how artists navigate public scrutiny in real time. You can’t do what I do and the more I do it the more it will bend you out of shape enough to go on the internet and write a think piece. You disappoint me. — DOJA CAT (@DojaCat) November 20, 2025 An exchange reflecting the complexities of online interactions The back-and-forth intensified as users claimed she was dismissing her audience. One person argued, “the fact doja only sees her fans as ‘watchers’ pmo so bad… she really hates us down.” Doja fired back with, “Oh fck you cnt you’re no better than a tmz reporter. You fcking low life btch,” a reply that further fueled conversation. This was about the increasingly fraught boundaries between performers and their online communities. As the Ma Vie Tour moves through Australia and New Zealand over the next week and a half, the spotlight on Doja Cat’s relationship with her fan base is unlikely to fade. Her next show is set for Saturday, November 22, in Perth. Both the performance and the reaction around it will continue to shape the narrative of this early tour stretch.

Summer Walker became the center of an unexpected online feud after Celina Powell repeatedly mentioned her while throwing shade at Lil Meech. Over the past month, Celina has inserted Summer’s name into conversations about Meech at least twice, but this latest round finally prompted Summer to respond. When Summer pointed out that Celina is a “fan,” Powell did not dispute it. Instead, she boasted about allegedly being involved with several of Summer’s former partners, from Lil Meech to Rico Recklezz. Summer answered by posting screenshots of messages Celina had previously sent her along with a fiery note about men who settle for “loser” women. Celina Powell claimed that she’s been with all three of Summer Walker’s exes in her latest story posts. (:@gettyimages):#TSRStaffJR pic.twitter.com/dRUH8DA1O2 — TheShadeRoom (@TheShadeRoom) November 18, 2025 The tension traces back to Summer’s interview with Speedy, where she revisited the viral moment from 2023 involving Meech entering a woman’s apartment and calling them “cousins and groceries.” Summer told Speedy that Meech’s life is “terrible now.” Celina chimed in afterward on Instagram, calling Meech a “weirdo.” At that time, Summer stayed silent. The situation resurfaced when Celina posted a video of herself singing one of Summer’s new tracks and tagging her with the caption, “When y’all crying over the same man but she can actually sing.” Summer reposted the clip and added, “Lmao tried to tell y’all these b*tches really fans of me.” Celina followed up with a lengthy message naming men they allegedly shared and wrote, “I use to smash Meech to ur songs playing in hte background…I never gave af. I like yo music girly pop @summerwalker. Oh and I had [London On Da Track] before u and [Rico Recklezz] and Meech ALLL BEFORE U so please stfu and just sing.” Celina continued with more posts, including one where she said, “Sure am, now get back to the studio and make some more music about the man I took from ya.” Summer did not go back and forth. Instead, she promoted her album and shared a screenshot of Celina apologizing privately on November 10, saying, “Congrats on ur album and I apologize fr if I ever caused any drama.” Rico Recklezz later responded to Celina’s claims, admitting to oral sex once but saying it “don’t count.” Celina insisted he still belongs to her “collection.” Amid all of the online back and forth, Summer posted a final message about women who accept men with no standards, writing, “I truly understand.”

Drake stirred up fresh online chatter after showing approval for a comment aimed at his former flame Serena Williams. The rapper, who was romantically connected to Williams on and off from 2011 to 2015, shared a series of tennis-inspired photos with Sexyy Red on Monday, Nov. 17th. He captioned the post, “I said tennis lesson she said where’s the bracelet or the necklace.” Under the carousel, one user wrote, “Serena Williams upgrade” with two fire emojis. Drake liked the remark, which led many fans to call him out for fueling unnecessary drama. Another Instagram user noted he was being “messy for liking” the jab. View this post on Instagram His social media activity comes months after Williams addressed speculation about her appearance during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show. The tennis icon appeared in a dance moment while Lamar performed “Not Like Us,” a track widely interpreted as a shot at Drake. Williams told Time the moment was “absolutely not” shade toward her ex and that she “would never” participate in anything intended to mock him. She said it was “sad that anyone would ever think that” and added, “I respect how they could. Obviously I can see how someone would think that, but absolutely not.” She also explained, “I have never had negative feelings towards him. We’ve known him for so many years.” Williams said the dance was actually a nod to her famous celebration at the 2012 London Olympics, where she did the crip walk after winning her gold medal match against Maria Sharapova. Reflecting on the moment with Time, she admitted, “I don’t know if I regret it or not. I don’t know the answer to that.” Drake has referenced Williams in his music as well, including on the 2013 track “Worst Behavior,” where he rapped, “I’m with my whole set, tennis matches at the crib / I swear I could beat Serena when she playin’ with her left.”

De La Soul stopped by HOT 97 to talk to Nessa about their 10th studio album Cabin in the Sky, out November 21. They looked back on more than 30 years in hip hop, what longevity really feels like, and why they never actually took a “break” even when there were long gaps between albums. They opened up about the nine-year wait since the last project, label and catalog battles, almost doing a full album with Pete Rock and DJ Premier, and how COVID and real life slowed things down but also made them more intentional about quality. They also talked about the grind of touring, keeping their health in check on the road, and whether they feel more at home in the studio or on stage. Nessa and De La got into the heart behind Cabin in the Sky—what the title means to them after losing Dave, how his voice and production are still woven into the project, and how grief, joy, and honest emotion shaped the songs. They discussed how they decide which tracks actually make an album, staying true to their sound while evolving, and what it’s like to see three generations of fans at their shows. They also touched on working with Mass Appeal and Nas, their influence on skits and album storytelling, the Marvel comic collab, the song dedicated to their moms, and the legacy they want people to remember when they think of De La Soul. De La Soul’s new album, Cabin in the Sky, is out November 21.

Kanye West’s latest stop in Tokyo produced another unscripted fashion moment as the rapper and designer appeared in a brief street-style interview posted November 20 by Mystery Fashion. The clip, filmed on a crowded Tokyo sidewalk, follows the platform’s quick-hit format, but West’s presence shifts the exchange into something more revealing than a routine style check. The interview opens with AJ’s standard greeting, asking his guest to introduce himself and name his hometown. West responds with a tight, assured cadence: “I’m Ye, I’m from Chi.” @mysteryfashionist @Ye Filmed by @biig_c Interviewed by @ajay_porter Location Tokyo Japan #tokyo #ye #kanye #fashion ♬ original sound – Mystery Fashionist The shorthand introduction reaffirms how he prefers to frame himself in public — as a Chicago artist whose identity remains central to his ever-expanding creative orbit. The line also sets the tone for a casual but unmistakably high-wattage moment unfolding in the middle of Tokyo’s fashion district. When AJ shifts to the usual Mystery Fashion question — asking West to rate his fit and name the designers he’s wearing — West answers with the kind of swagger that has defined his fashion narrative for more than a decade. “Oh, it’s always a 10-out-of-10,” he says. Kanye West (Ye) Says “Life” Is A Fashion Trend He Regrets In Mystery Fashion Interview He then points to the “original Yeezy 950 boots,” anchoring the look, a callback to his early design era that still carries cult significance. West adds that the rest of his outfit comes from Russian designer Gosha Rubchinskiy, explaining that “Gosha did the pop-up today.” The nod situates West inside Tokyo’s current creative pulse, reinforcing his ongoing interest in scenes that blur the lines between streetwear, youth culture, and underground aesthetics. Ye has always credited Tokyo, Japan, as a source of his fashion inspiration. The interview takes an abrupt turn when AJ asks which past trend he regrets participating in. West shakes his head before offering a single-word answer: “Life.” The comment lands as both a punchline and an existential aside, a reminder of how easily West veers toward the philosophical even in the most lightweight settings. It reads as a joke, a critique, or a reflection of his turbulent public arc — depending on how one chooses to receive it. Brief as it is, the clip distills the elements that continue to define West’s presence abroad: humor, bravado, and the unfiltered commentary that follows him through every fashion capital he touches.

Vivica A. Fox returned to daytime TV on Tuesday, when she sat down with Sherri Shepherd and revisited the long-running conversation about her past with 50 Cent. Earlier this month, clips from her appearance at a Women’s Expo spread quickly after she seemed to caution women against dating rappers, especially 50. Now, Fox is explaining that her comments were misunderstood. “I didn’t say you couldn’t play with them,” she told Sherri, stressing that people exaggerated what she meant. “You acted like I was on the picket line. Every time somebody ask me something, ‘Don’t date 50 Cent.’ That was not it. What happened is I said, ‘Vivica, if you could tell your 17-year-old self anything.’ That was me, like, I wish I knew not to go public so fast, not to have it out there, not to have the breakup that’s lasted 22 years.” Fox admitted she cracked up at 50 Cent’s playful reaction. The rapper shared an AI version of himself styled as Morpheus from The Matrix, offering a red and blue pill with the caption, “Either way I’m a have that a** in the matrix,” and added, “You know I love me some you, girl. But damn it’s been 22 years, Vivica.” Their brief romance happened in 2003, ending that same year. Though the aftermath has stretched across decades, with highs and lows played out in public. Despite everything, Fox made it clear there is no bad blood today. She told Sherri she still feels a soft spot for him and pointed to the passion they once shared. “You know you got that one that you always got that one that you always got a little special place for, but we are in a good place, and I’ll take the blue pill. Oh my goodness,” she said. “Remember the time!” After the episode aired, 50 responded again on Instagram, posting the clip with the caption, “What the fvck is going on here Shaniqua & Jane doe don’t act like that, and I had to pay them h**’s. LOL.”

d4vd is now at the center of growing scrutiny as investigators believe he may not have acted alone in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. A police source tells PEOPLE that the singer, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, “most likely had help dismembering and disposing of the body.” The source also claims that although Burke has not been charged, he “has not been cooperative” with detectives. This conflicts with a previous statement from his representative to NBC Los Angeles, who insisted he was “fully cooperating” with authorities. Rivas was found dead on September 8th inside the trunk of Burke’s impounded Tesla, just one day after she turned fifteen. The car had been abandoned in the Hollywood Hills for nearly a month, according to neighbors, and officers arrived only after people in the area reported a foul odor coming from the vehicle. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner later confirmed her identity and listed her cause and manner of death as “deferred.” The police source tells PEOPLE that investigators are “treating this like a homicide” and says the teen’s body was “decomposing when it was found in a plastic bag.” LAPD Captain Scot M. Williams previously stated that Rivas had been dead “several weeks prior to her body being discovered.” He also confirmed that a search warrant was served “at a residence near where the car was towed” on September 18th. A landlord told SFGate that d4vd and his manager had been staying at the property but moved out shortly after authorities seized electronics and other materials, though Williams did not confirm what was taken. Rivas had been reported missing multiple times in 2024 according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Speculation has spread online about whether she knew the “Romantic Homicide” singer, especially after officials noted she had a “Shhh” tattoo that matched one on d4vd. Her family said they were “heartbroken and devastated by this tragic loss.”

Bizzy Bone is signaling a major shift inside Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, using a blunt Instagram Story on November 15 to announce what he says will be the group’s final performance with all five original members. Posting under his username @mrmccane, the Cleveland legend wrote, “1 more show with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. 1 last show with all original members. 11/29/25. After that, NO MORE!!!! Since we can’t seem to stop lying… How bow dat!” Bizzy post on IG. What is wrong with these dudes? byu/Haunting-Mortgage inbonethugsnharmony The message arrived ahead of the crew’s highly anticipated hometown concert at The Agora on November 29, billed as a full reunion featuring Bizzy Bone, Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, Flesh-N-Bone, and Wish Bone. Bizzy’s wording framed the show as a definitive ending rather than another nostalgic gathering. By repeating “1 more show” and “1 last show,” he signaled to fans that the group’s classic lineup is nearing its final bow. The post served as both an announcement and a warning, suggesting that the Cleveland date marks the last time the original members will share a stage. Bizzy Bone Claims Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s Cleveland Show Will Be Last His follow-up line — “After that, NO MORE!!!!” — carried the frustration of someone reaching a breaking point. Bizzy has never shied away from discussing internal friction, and the all-caps emphasis read like a clear declaration that he is finished navigating the issues that have long complicated the group’s attempts at unity. But the sharpest part of the message came with, “Since we can’t seem to stop lying…” Aimed at unnamed parties, the line hinted at disagreements over public narratives surrounding the group’s future. Bizzy appeared to accuse someone within the Bone Thugs circle of misleading fans about the state of their collaboration or the likelihood of more reunion shows. Though indirect, the accusation added fuel to years of speculation about the crew’s behind-the-scenes dynamic. He punctuated the message with “How bow dat!” A sarcastic sign-off that highlights his irritation and his willingness to call things out without restraint. With one post, Bizzy Bone cast the November 29 concert as both a celebration and a farewell. His caption made clear that while the legacy remains intact, the original lineup’s chapter is closing under the weight of unresolved tension and a desire for honesty moving forward.

Ice Spice used her November 18 Twitch livestream to shut down a troll who tried to criticize her appearance, delivering a sharp, confident response that quickly went viral. The Bronx rapper was reading comments in real time when one user wrote, “I gotta see no makeup,” suggesting she remove her cosmetics on camera. Ice Spice didn’t let the remark slide. View this post on Instagram Instead, she fired back with a line that immediately set the tone for the exchange: “You gotta see some money, honey. You gotta open your bank account and see.” Her comeback flipped the viewer’s demand on its head. Rather than entertain the idea that she owed anyone a bare-faced look, Ice Spice redirected the scrutiny back at the commenter. The rapper, who has built her public persona on self-assurance and unbothered cool, used the moment to mock the entitlement embedded in the request. Her message was simple: check your finances before you try to check her appearance. Ice Spice Addresses Troll Who Said They Wanted To See Her Bare Face on Twitch She doubled down a moment later, making it clear that she wasn’t here to validate anyone’s curiosity. “You ain’t gotta see no make-up — the fuck,” she said, brushing off the expectation that she should comply with random demands from strangers online. The remark spoke to a larger dynamic many women in hip-hop continue to navigate — constant commentary on their looks and a belief that fans are owed visual access at all times. Ice Spice’s refusal underscored her own boundaries and highlighted her comfort in pushing back in real time. The rapper ended the exchange with a final note that cut to the heart of the comment’s premise. “Also, I’m barely wearing make-up, babe,” she added, pointing out that the viewer’s assumption wasn’t even accurate. Ice Spice has been defending her looks since she originally burst onto the scene in 2020. She has always addressed the social media commentary head-on. The moment captured why Ice Spice remains one of rap’s most self-possessed rising stars. Her livestream response blended humor, confidence, and control, reinforcing that access to her image — with or without makeup — isn’t something anyone can demand.

Cardi B is celebrating a new addition to her family. The rapper announced the birth of her child with New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs in an Instagram post that immediately drew attention from fans across entertainment and sports. She shared a photo of herself holding the newborn and marked the moment with the date Nov. 4, alongside emojis of a teddy bear, a heart, and a football. The couple has not yet revealed the baby’s name, though the child appeared wrapped in a blue Patriots blanket embroidered with “Diggs.” The baby wore a matching hat decorated with footballs and the family name. View this post on Instagram The reveal came only two days after Cardi B was spotted cheering on the Patriots during their close 24–23 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Nov. 2. Watching the game from team owner Robert Kraft’s private box, she drew a loud reaction from the home crowd when the stadium cameras showed her on the video board. Cardi B & Stefon Diggs Share New Baby Photo Cardi responded by performing Diggs’ signature celebration, covering one eye and extending her arm in a playful wave. The clip spread across social media, fueling speculation that the couple had already welcomed their child. Her Nov. 4 timestamp confirmed that the birth followed soon after the appearance. Diggs, 31, remains one of the Patriots’ key offensive players, leading the team with 59 receptions for 659 yards and three touchdowns this season. Though he typically avoids discussing family matters in interviews, this week’s events offered a rare glimpse into his life off the field. On Monday, Diggs hosted his annual Game Day of Giving at Gillette Stadium. He invited more than 100 families to the team’s field-level lounge for an evening focused on winter support and holiday cheer. Guests received warm clothing, enjoyed a catered meal, and participated in activities such as crafts, face painting, and music from a live DJ. The event highlighted Diggs’ ongoing commitment to community outreach as the colder months approach. When reporters later asked how he spent the team’s extended weekend, Diggs kept his answer simple. “I saw my son. I saw some of my kids. That’s important to me,” he said. His words added a personal touch to the couple’s announcement and offered a quiet confirmation of their growing family.
