Cardi B has decided not to go through with the butt implant removal she had previously discussed. The Am I the Drama? rapper spoke on Today with Jenna & Sheinelle on March 24, promoting her new hair care brand, Grow-Good, and clarified her earlier comments about a planned procedure in Colombia. In February, Cardi had said she intended to travel after her Little Miss Drama tour to have a butt reduction. “After this tour, I don’t want to hear nobody for three months. I’m going to Colombia, nobody hit me up, nobody nothing. I’m taking this ass out,” Cardi said backstage at her Los Angeles concert. On Today, however, she revealed a change of heart. “I was saying that but I’m not gonna do it,” the 33-year-old Grammy winner admitted. “I was just gonna take a little bit of butt out. But I don’t have time for that. I feel really comfortable where I’m at right now with my body.” Cardi Opens Up on Motherhood and Rumors The mother of four acknowledged the physical changes that come with age and motherhood. “I don’t know if it’s the age or the fact that I got four kids,” she said, noting she still has “a whole bunch of cellulite.” “But I feel really good,” she added, emphasizing a newfound comfort with her body. Cardi also reflected on her waist, noting, “While my waist looks so perfect, I don’t think it is.” Yet she embraced her flaws, continuing, “But it’s okay, I’m loving my imperfections and everything and I just feel really comfortable. I feel really good.” Cardi also addressed persistent rumors surrounding her relationship with NFL star Stefon Diggs. The couple separated in February, months after welcoming their first child together, a son. She also shares three older children with her estranged husband, Offset. On the Call Her Daddy podcast, she dismissed claims that cosmetic concerns contributed to the breakup: “And it’s just like… the way this ass be getting eaten, it can’t be… I’m very anal about how I smell. I don’t know who made the rumors that BBL’s stink, but it’s like… it doesn’t stink.”

More than three years have passed since Takeoff was fatally shot outside a Houston bowling alley. This loss reverberated across the music world. Weeks after the tragedy, Patrick “DJ Pat” Clark was arrested. Prosecutors allege he “unlawfully, intentionally, and knowingly commit[ted] the felony offense of deadly conduct by knowingly discharging a firearm at and in the direction of” Takeoff. A detective described the evidence: “The defendant was captured on video shooting in the direction of the complainant with a gun in one hand, wine bottle in another hand. Video also shows the defendant leave the bottle at the scene.” Additionally, investigators connected Clark to the crime through fingerprints, phone records, and vehicle data. Clark is set to stand trial this November. According to No Jumper, he recently brought on a new legal team: Kent Schaffer, Anthony Osso, and Dan Cogdell. Schaffer has previously represented J. Prince, while Osso has reportedly been involved in Clark’s defense before. Clark has pleaded not guilty to the 2022 murder charges and remains free on a $1 million bond.

When asked about a potential new project, he admitted uncertainty. “I don’t know yet. I don’t know. But I know that we have enough negativity currently,” he said. “Forget the landscape of music. I don’t know what I need to create currently that’s going to fulfill me and make me happy because that’s most important. I know I just got to be honest about what I feel and where I am. Maybe I’m overthinking it. Maybe I’m stopping myself from just creating. Whatever it is, it just needs to be a true representation of how I feel. Trying to create something that people like is where I think a lot of artists get jammed up. And people can feel that because it’s not authentic. I just got to make something timeless that I really love and that’s really honest and true to who I am.” Beyond discussing his personal creative process, Jay-Z spoke about nearly collaborating with Clipse on Let God Sort Em Out. Additionally, he discussed the responsibilities of being a “good billionaire,” and the ways he navigates influence, legacy, and cultural impact in music today.

Back in 2025, Jay-Z and Diddy were named in a lawsuit, accusing them of raping a 13-year-old girl. Not long after it was reported, Jay dropped off a scathing response, vehemently denying the allegations. The lawsuit was eventually dismissed with prejudice. Now, in a recent sit-down interview with GQ, Jay-Z is finally sharing his thoughts on the incident. As the Roc Nation founder looks back on the situation, he reveals that the allegations initially left him “heartbroken.” “…I was really heartbroken by everything that occurred. We’re in a space now where it’s almost like consequence is not thought about enough. Because everything is so instant, you know what I’m saying?” Jay says. The billionaire entrepreneur also pointed out that the situation fueled an “uncontrollable anger” inside him. “You don’t put that on someone—that’s a thing that you better be super sure. It used to be like that. You had to be super sure before you put those kind of things on a person. Especially a person like me,” he added. “Even when we were doing the worst things, we had those kind of rules. There was a line: no women, no kids. You hear those sayings, but those are the things that I took from the street. We lived and died by that. So it’s strict for me, like it meant a lot to me.” View this post on Instagram

Public curiosity has continued to surround the relationship between Diddy and Usher, particularly as new developments have kept the music mogul in the headlines. In a recent conversation with Jabari Young for Forbes’ The Enterprise Zone, Usher addressed those questions with a tone that was reflective rather than reactive. He drew on his own experience. Further, he focused on what he sees as a broader legacy shaped over decades in music and business. “I think certain people are prosecuted and maybe not recognized for the greatness that they offer,” Usher said. “I don’t have anything negative to say about Sean Combs. My experience was not what the world has seen and how he’s been, you know, misrepresented.” His remarks placed distance between public perception and personal memory, suggesting that the two do not always align. Expanding on that perspective, Usher spoke at length about the impact he believes Combs has had across industries. “I’m not saying that every man is perfect,” he continued. “I’m not saying that all of us don’t have flaws, but I can’t with any sense of humanity not recognize the valuable contributions that this man made for us as Black entrepreneurs, for us as people who transition culture and ideas into something that’s tangible. So many people benefited from what he created. And I acknowledge that. That’s why I see him as legacy.” Usher Reflects on Lessons Amid Combs’ Ongoing Legal Challenges For Usher, the emphasis remains on lessons learned early in his career. “That’s who I see that man as. And that’s what I choose to remember,” he said. “I put respect on his name because I realized that, you know, what I learned as a businessman before I even understood what business was came as a result of seeing the incredible things that he was able to do, and the way he positioned himself as a businessman. There are trials and tribulations that come with the pressures of success and power. But what we choose to do with it is what I hope that you see with me and hopefully other people that I’m involved with, right?” Combs is currently serving a 50-month sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix on charges related to transportation for prostitution. This development continues to shape public discussion around his career and legacy.

Victory Wembanyama is taking on the NBA world by storm. The 2025–26 San Antonio Spurs season has been a historic “leap” year, transforming from a rebuilding squad into a legitimate Western Conference powerhouse. In only his third year in the league,  Wembanyama has elevated his game to an MVP-caliber level this year, leading the Spurs to a 54-18 record. Averaging 24.3 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 3.0 blocks per game, the 22-year-old phenom has become one of the faces of the league. In last night’s game, Wemby put up a 26-point, 15-rebound, 5-block performance in a blowout win over the Miami Heat. Following the game, responding to The Athletic’s Jared Weiss’s question about whether he should be the MVP, Wembanyama didn’t hesitate to state his case for the crown. Victor Wembanyama makes a strong case for why he should be the MVP “My first one would be that defense is 50% of the game and that it is undervalued so far in the MVP race. I believe I’m the most impactful player defensively in the league. Second argument would be that we… pic.twitter.com/egEdL1KlBx — ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) March 24, 2026 “My first one would be that defense is 50 percent of the game. And that is undervalued, so far, in the MVP race,” Wembanyama said. “I believe I’m the most impactful player defensively in the league. The second argument would be that we almost swept OKC in the season, and we dominated them three times with their real team and four times with the, you know, more rotation players. My third argument would be that offense impact is not just points.” Wembanyama also predicted that defensive plays are going to have more of an impact during  MVP races.  “It’s going to happen (over) time,” Wembanyama said. “If there were more players like Giannis (Antetokounmpo) in the past years, maybe defense would have been more recognized. I don’t know.” When it comes to Fan Duel’s current odds, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander remains the heavy betting favorite to win his second consecutive MVP award, with odds as short as -1000 at several major sportsbooks. While the race appeared to be a tight three-man battle earlier in March, Luka Dončić (+1200) and Wembanyama (+2500) have seen their odds drift as SGA pulls away. 

Tina Knowles time at the 2026 Houston Rodeo has garnered tons of attention, but for all the wrong reasons. Recently, Knowles’ Gumbo booth was temporarily shut down by the Houston Health Department for “undisclosed reasons.” Now, the shocking reason behind the closure has been revealed. According to TMZ, the Texas pop-up eatery was shut down after a customer complained they vomited blood after eating the gumbo. Houston’s KPRC 2 News also reported on the incident. The outlet obtained health department records that noted a customer became “wildly ill” after eating at Knowles’ establishment. Per the report, the customer claimed that, in addition to throwing up blood, they experienced “chills, nausea, and a fever.” Apparently, the gumbo was cooked off-site, cooled, and then stuffed into buckets and later hauled off to a freezer at an unlicensed location. The food was then transported to a refrigerated trailer and thawed before being served. The report also noted that Knowles lacked the required temperature logs that showed the cooling and storage times of the gumbo. The inspector also reportedly “observed bags of frozen shrimp and crab with a label that stated ‘keep frozen.’” The department also reported that the alleged food source was not listed on the approved permit application. View this post on Instagram Shutdown linked to unsafe storage & missing records Additionally, the department noted that the food source utilized after the first day of the rodeo was not listed on the approved permit application. Furthermore, the food prepared more than 24 hours prior to serving was not dated. On Monday (Mar.23), The Shade Room reposted the story, and not long after, the post’s comment section was flooded with responses offering their own explanations regarding the incident. “Man, if she wasn’t that “icon” mother….,” one person wrote. Another added, “Lol it’s okay she tried it’s time to find another business. That’s part of being an entrepreneur lol,” while a third commented, “Wondering if the ppl who threw up were eating all kinds of different foods, drinking liquor with no water and walking in the HOUSTON HOT SUN FOR HOURS.” Prior to the news coverage, a video circulated online from an alleged customer of Mama Tina’s who claimed they became ill at the Houston eatery. In the short video, the unknown alleged customer shows a text message from a Health Department representative. The validity of the text message is still up for debate. On the other hand, according to Beyoncé fans, the situation was just a form of sabotage.

LaGuardia Airport was shut down for hours after a deadly collision between a passenger jet and a fire truck on a runway late Sunday, authorities said. The crash killed two pilots and injured dozens of others, sending shockwaves through one of the nation’s busiest air hubs. The airport halted operations overnight and into Monday morning as emergency crews responded and investigators began their work. Officials said the aircraft, an Air Canada Express regional jet arriving from Montreal, struck a Port Authority fire truck shortly after landing. There were 72 passengers and four crew members aboard the plane at the time of the collision. Crash Details and Immediate Response The impact crushed the front of the aircraft and left the fire truck overturned near the runway, according to officials briefed on the scene. Emergency responders rushed to evacuate passengers and treat the injured. At least 40 people, including passengers and crew, were taken to nearby hospitals. Some suffered serious injuries, though most were later released. Two firefighters aboard the truck were also hurt but are expected to survive, authorities said. Air traffic control audio captured moments before the crash revealed urgency and confusion. A controller can be heard warning the vehicle repeatedly to stop. “Stop, stop, stop,” the controller said, seconds before the collision, according to recordings reviewed by investigators. The jet was traveling at a relatively low speed during landing, but the force of the crash caused catastrophic damage to the cockpit. Both the pilot and co-pilot were pronounced dead at the scene. Transportation officials described the incident as a “horrific crash” and confirmed that federal investigators were deployed within hours. Airport Shutdown and Ongoing Investigation The Federal Aviation Administration issued a ground stop immediately after the crash, closing LaGuardia Airport and diverting incoming flights to nearby airports, including JFK and Newark.  Travelers faced widespread delays and cancellations as airlines worked to rebook passengers and restore schedules. “LaGuardia Airport is now open, expect delays and/or cancellations,” airport officials said in a statement posted Monday. The National Transportation Safety Board has launched a full investigation into the cause of the crash. Officials said cockpit voice recordings and air traffic communications will be critical to understanding what went wrong. Preliminary information suggests the fire truck may have been cleared to cross the runway before being told to stop, though investigators have not reached a final conclusion. Leaders in New York and Canada expressed condolences to the victims’ families. Officials called the loss of the pilots a profound tragedy and praised their service. As the investigation continues, aviation experts say the incident raises serious questions about runway safety and coordination between ground vehicles and incoming aircraft. Operations at LaGuardia have since resumed, but disruptions are expected to continue as authorities examine the crash site and review procedures.

Chance the Rapper has prevailed in his legal battle against his ex-manager Pat Corcoran. ​According to the Chicago Sun Times, a Cook County jury found Corcoran had not proven that Chance owed him “$3.8 million in unpaid commissions and royalties” as stated in the lawsuit. “I claim victory in the name of the. Lord,” Chance said after the verdict was handed down at the Daley Center. ​In Chance’s countersuit, he sought $1 million in damages, but the jurors decided Corcoran must pay $35. Also, Corcoran must “turn over the internet domain name ChanceRaps.com, which Corcoran had used to sell Chance the Rapper merchandise.” According to Corcoran’s attorneys, the final verdict  was a split decision because no side was granted a substantial monetary award. “We respect the jury’s decision, but the message to music managers is clear: Get it in writing,” said Jay Scharkey, one of Corcoran’s attorneys. “The jury award of $35 speaks to how seriously the jury viewed Chance’s case.” Precious Jacobs-Perry, Chance’s attorney, said the verdict was “a complete vindication” for her client. Chance’s attorney speaks: “The jury heard the evidence for more than two weeks and reached the correct conclusion: Mr. Bennett never agreed to pay commissions after his management relationship with Pat Corcoran ended, and Mr. Corcoran breached their contract,”the statement read. “This ruling is not only a victory for Mr. Bennett, but it is also a victory for independent artists everywhere. … And, above all, we are happy for our client who has been standing on principle for years.” In November 2020, Corcoran sued Chance for breach of contract, claiming he was owed over $3 million in unpaid commissions. The suit alleged that Chance failed to honor a 2013 oral agreement that entitled the manager to a 15% share of net profits from music, merchandise, and touring.  After the release of Chance’s 2019 debut studio album, The Big Day, and the subsequent cancellation of its tour due to low ticket sales. Corcoran’s suit specifically sought “sunset clause” payments—commissions for three years post-termination.

A California jury has ruled that comedian Bill Cosby is liable for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman more than 50 years ago, adding another chapter to the long legal saga surrounding the once-dominant television star. The verdict, delivered Monday in California, orders Cosby to pay $59.25 million in damages to Donna Motsinger, a former waitress who accused the comedian of assaulting her in 1972. Jurors awarded $17.5 million for past emotional trauma and another $1.75 million for future suffering. The panel also imposed $40 million in punitive damages. Cosby’s legal team quickly signaled the fight is not over. His attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, said the defense plans to challenge the decision in court. In a statement to The Associated Press, Bonjean said the team was “disappointed by the verdict” and intends to file an appeal. Motsinger’s lawsuit traces the incident back to her time working at The Trident, a well-known Bay Area restaurant that once hosted celebrities and touring performers. According to court filings, Cosby invited her to attend one of his comedy shows at the now-closed Circle Star Theater. Jury Finds Bill Cosby Liable For $19 Million Dollars In 1972 Sexual Assault Verdict The complaint says Cosby arranged a limousine and offered her wine during the ride to the show. Motsinger alleges that after arriving backstage she began feeling ill and accepted what Cosby described as an aspirin. Soon afterward, she said she lost consciousness. “Next thing she knew, she was going in and out of consciousness while two men attending to Mr. Cosby were putting her in the limousine,” the complaint states. Motsinger later testified she woke at home partially undressed and concluded she had been drugged and assaulted. Her lawsuit also targeted Cosby’s production company, Jemmin Inc., claiming the company was “vicariously liable” for his actions. The suit further alleged employees at the Circle Star Theater “knew or should have known of the dangerous drugged and sedated state” she experienced. The verdict adds to Cosby’s long list of legal battles. In 2018, a Pennsylvania jury convicted him of sexual assault in a case involving Andrea Constand. However, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court vacated that conviction in 2021 after ruling prosecutors violated a prior agreement. Cosby has consistently denied the allegations. The latest civil ruling, however, keeps the controversy surrounding the former television icon in the national spotlight.
