The Verzuz may be over, but the brotherly beef is not! Cryrese still has fresh “Turtleneck” tears that he can only dry with a royalty check for Tank’s improvised insult. Tyrese is spilling the tea about what went down behind the scenes, who really won Verzuz, and where he stands with Tank as they seemingly plan more music.

In an interview on The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show, Tyrese talked his upcoming performance on Saturday, April 18 for the R&B Music Experience: The Legacy Series and how he got cheated on the Verzuz stage. He told Ebro the the contentious concert was supposed to be like a boxing match, 1-o-1 and going hit for hit. Instead, Tyrese joked that he that he got packed out by Tank and friends.

“I came into it as Tyrese versus Tank. I had one feature, and when my feature came out, he was rapping. I didn’t even have nobody to come out and sing with me,” he said.

Ebro asked if that was cheating and Tyrese swiftly said, “He did. They jumped Jody. You’re insecure if you feel the need to have 17 n****s to come out,” he jokingly continued.

The Baby Boy actor said he disclosed to Tank that Chingy was his only guest and admitted he played himself by showing his hand. Meanwhile, the “When We” wonder had a stacked deck of celebs with J. Valentine, LeToya Luckett, Jamie Foxx, and Trey Songz That was just the beginning of the soulful shenanigans!

Check out how Tyrese decided to wear that “Turtleneck,” why he wants royalties for the song, and where he stands with Tank after the flip!

Just a week after redefining citywide celebrations with this year’s epic 404 Day festivities, Atlanta continued its winning streak with Sundresses & Seersuckers–a spectacular Springtime affair that delivered elevated exquisiteness with philanthropic flair.

Bustling with beautiful people in elegant garden party attire, the ever-growing event attracted thousands of fabulous, flourishing, and FINE ladies and gentlemen for a carefully curated weekend centered on community, connection, and culture.

Hosted by the Delta Mu Mu Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Sundresses & Seersuckers evolved from a single-day event into a four-day experience in support of Commitment to Excellence 501(c)(3)–an organization that has awarded over $700,000 in scholarships to young Black men since 2009.

Setting the tone for the grand finale was a “19th Hole” golf social followed by a high-energy Friday “Prequel” event featuring multiple music rooms with a choose-your-own-vibe atmosphere.

Other standout moments included a morning wellness bootcamp and fireside chat hosted by political powerhouse Jasmine Crockett in conversation with famed civil rights attorney Ben Crump about his book “Worse Than A Lie.”

With vibes high and Spring weather springing, S&S culminates with its flagship experience where stylish attendees enjoy exclusive lounges, VIP sections, hip-moving grooves, and a vibrant showcase of Black-owned beverage brands.

“This event is about the people,” said S&S co-chair Larry Rasberry, noting that they’ve vowed to never center it around a celebrity headliner.

“It’s not about a national recording artist. It’s about Sundresses & Seersuckers, the patrons and our sponsors, and most importantly, those that we’re able to impact.”

A certain Drink Champ has the Bardi Gang up in arms.

Some Cardi B fans are Bodak bothered following N.O.R.E.’s recent interview with Jason Lee, where he revealed that he cut footage from a 2022 sit-down with Quavo in which he asked the rapper about the long-standing rumor that Offset, the Bronx rapper’s estranged husband, allegedly slept with Quavo’s ex-girlfriend Saweetie.

On April 15, the Drink Champs host appeared on The Jason Lee Show to explain why the clip never aired and to address whether there was any tension between him and Offset after the question came up. 

Here’s what N.O.R.E had to say.

The “Oye Mi Canto” rapper explained:

“I asked a certain thing to a certain individual on a certain artist and [Offset’s] peoples were there,” N.O.R.E. said, later confirming he was referencing the interview he did with Quavo and Takeoff in 2022 in which he brought the rumor up and allegedly got an “answer” from the rapper on the matter. “Offset called me. And I might not have complied to his conversation when he wanted it.”

N.O.R.E. went on to claim that Offset even reached out to Diddy, believing he had ownership over Drink Champs and could step in to have the footage removed. Ultimately, N.O.R.E. said he chose to cut the segment himself, explaining that he did so out of respect and “man code.” He also made it clear the clip will never be released and insisted there was no real “beef” between him and Offset over the situation, though the rumor itself appeared to create tension between Offset and Quavo.

Quavo fueled the rumors on his 2022 track “Messy.”

Speculation about Offset and Saweetie first surfaced after Quavo and Saweetie’s 2021 breakup. Quavo seemingly fueled the rumors on his 2022 track “Messy.”

“I said, ‘Caresha please’ ’cause she too messy,” Quavo raps on the DJ Durel-produced track, a possible reference to Saweetie’s recent appearance on Yung Miami’s Caresha Please podcast. “Bch fked my dawg behind my back, but I ain’t stressin’/You wanted the gang, you shoulda just said it, we would have blessed it/Now sh*t got messy.”

Offset has denied the rumors.

Offset later denied the allegations during a 2025 appearance on Baby, This Is Keke Palmer, maintaining that the situation was misunderstood.

“No, man. It was a rumor, man,” he told Palmer last year, adding that the fallout between him and Quavo ran deeper than what people assumed. He believed there was some people behind the scenes trying to tear them apart.

“I feel like it was something deeper than that for the split of me and bro,” he continued. “I think people were trying to tear my situation down in that situation.”

Social media reacts.

After clips from N.O.R.E.’s The Jason Lee Show interview began circulating online, Cardi B fans quickly began speculating, with many pointing fingers at Saweetie. Some took N.O.R.E.’s decision to remove the question as confirmation of the rumor.

That speculation has also been fueled by Cardi B’s 2025 interview on The Breakfast Club, where she spoke about a former friend who betrayed her trust after gifting her flowers. Cardi claimed that her friend slept with Offset, who stans thought was Saweetie. Saweetie has yet to speak out on the rumors.

Social media users wasted no time sharing their opinions across X and Instagram. One user labeled Saweetie “bottom of the barrel,” while others criticized N.O.R.E. for seemingly protecting Offset.

“Who cares?…it’s obvious the man slept with her Kuz if he didn’t u wouldn’t be taking clips out and keeping a secret lol people are sooo typical …u basically just told us wut we wanna know,” penned one fan.

Another chimed in more bluntly: “So basically he did lol.”

Watch the full interview below. What do you think? Are the rumors true?

The singer and Fenty founder has never shied away from talking about how much she loves being a mother. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky welcomed their third child, a daughter named Rocki, in September 2025. They are also parents to two sons: RZA, born in 2022, and Riot, who arrived in 2023.

Having welcomed three kids in four years, the “Diamonds” singer has been pregnant for a majority of the last few years. With that in mind, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that just seven months after giving birth to Rocki, those same rumors are already coming up again.

While it’s unclear where those rumors started this time, it seems like some fans were circulating old photos of Rih during one of her pregnancies, passing that off as a new development. Blogger @everybodyhatekrissy posted a video about those rumors that she’s currently expecting her fourth baby, and under her post, Rihanna decided to set the record straight.

“ is the baby in the womb with us?” the beauty mogul commented under the video, using her signature humor to deny a pregnancy.

While the rumors have become somewhat obsessive, there is a pretty good reason why fans are on constant watch over Rihanna’s womb. Back in January, shortly after welcoming her first daughter, Rih was seemingly toying with the idea of having another little one.

Former Love Island star Montana Rose Brown posted a video to Instagram on Sunday, Jan. 11, which featured her sharing her thoughts for the New Year.

“Deciding to get hot and sexy or get pregnant in 2026,” the reality star wrote over a video of her appearing deep in thought.

Rihanna took to the comments section to second Montana’s thoughts, writing, “Wait! So I’m not crazy then? Bet!”

After finally having a daughter, Rihanna might want to level the playing field a little in her house filled with boys. Following the arrival of baby Rocki, a source told People that the singer was, “over the moon about her baby girl.”

“She’s obviously so grateful for her boys — all three of them — but she’s been ready for some more girly energy,” the source added. “It’s already brought a whole new energy to the family. She’s always dreamed of having a little girl. She’s been shopping a lot and is so excited about dressing her daughter. It’s a whole new world for her.”

So, while it seems like Rih and Rocky are open to having an even bigger family, that’s not in the works just yet.

The breakup between Dwight Howard and Amy Luciani has taken another turn this week, with the former NBA player officially dropping his restraining order against his estranged wife. Check out the relationship timeline between the two stars inside. 

As both parties move toward what Howard’s legal team describes as a more “amicable resolution,” it looks like the pretty private couple has decided to officially part ways. According to PEOPLE, the decision shows a shift in tone after weeks of public tension, legal filings, and viral accusations that kept their relationship in headlines.

The couple’s split has been anything but quiet. PEOPLE reports that authorities were called to Howard’s Georgia home multiple times in early March over separate incidents involving a domestic dispute, a reported theft, and a wellness concern. Howard also alleged that Luciani took personal belongings, including cash and valuables. The claims added another layer to an already complicated situation.

While neither side has publicly detailed every aspect of what went wrong, both appear to be stepping back from escalation and focusing on resolving their divorce privately.

Their relationship moved quickly from public debut to marriage, and it has been marked by highs and lows that played out both online and behind the scenes. As previously detailed, the pair’s romance unfolded at a rapid pace — with engagement and marriage happening within weeks. However, that same intensity seemed to carry over into their conflicts, leading to multiple separations and reconciliations, and ultimately to this current split.

For fans just trying to keep up with their swift-moving relationship, here is a definitive timeline of how things unfolded between Dwight Howard and Amy Luciani.

Not only that, the conversation shifts to sun-soaked Italy, where the panel digs into Black rom-coms, spotlighting You, Me & Tuscany, the Will Packer-produced love story bringing a fresh, Black-centered romance to the big screen.

Today, the brands released a new episode of The Black Watch, an editorial-led series examining the biggest cultural moments in film and entertainment.

The latest installment of the series brings together BOSSIP’s Managing Editor Dani Canada, iONE Digital Vice President of Video Tanya Hoffler-Moore, iONE Digital Director of Content for the Men’s Division Alvin Blanco, and producer Xavier Francis for candid commentary on Paradise, Is God Is, and You, Me & Tuscany.

“The president of the United States has been murdered, and you are the last known person to see him alive. What are you gonna do? That is the premise of Hulu’s Paradise and what we’ll be discussing today on The Black Watch,” Dani says, setting the tone for the panel’s deep dive.

The episode unpacks why Paradise has quickly become one of the most talked-about streaming series, with Alvin praising its relentless unpredictability.

“I love Paradise. I mean, I love a good story that has plot twists, and Paradise just has them for days from the first episode,” he says. “You think it’s one thing, then by the end, you’re like, wait, wait, what?”

As for Tanya, she highlights the show’s thematic depth, noting its exploration of survival and power.

“This self-preservation by any means necessary,” she says. “It’s also about privilege. Who gets to be safe and who gets to thug it out when the elements hit us?”

Beyond its high-stakes premise, Tanya underscores the emotional core of Paradise that’s centered around a family unit; a dark-skinned one at that.

“To be honest with you, the show is about family. I do love that it’s a Black family, but it’s a chocolate Black family,” she adds. “And I think often in TV shows, when we do see a Black family, we don’t see everybody chocolate.”

The conversation also turns to Sterling K. Brown’s career trajectory, with Dani prompting a reflection on his early work.

“Sterling K. Brown, I love seeing him on my screen. Do you remember the first project you saw him in?” she asks.

Xavier recalls an early role that put the actor on his radar.

“It was Army Wives. I was dating someone [and] she loved Army Wives. She was like, ‘You need to watch this with me,’ and I was like, ‘Okay,’” he says. “From this, I started thinking about what else has he been in. He was a background actor, like a co-worker in Brown Sugar.”

Tanya also points to Brown’s evolution as a leading man, contrasting his beloved role on This Is Us with his commanding presence in the thriller.

“Sterling K. Brown, who we all fell in love with on that show, is now this superhero, Black Ops, army vet Secret Service agent that is literally a one-man band, kind of saving the world from itself,” she says.

Dani then shifts the conversation toward what’s next for the Emmy-winning actor.

“What are some other types of roles that we would love to see Sterling K. Brown in?” she asks.

“I’d love to see a full villain, like bad from beginning to end, because we love him so much,” Xavier says. “I kind of want that all thrown away and just be like, I’m gonna start again, and I’m gonna create the worst person you’ve ever met.”

Dani points to an upcoming project that may deliver just that.

“I feel like we might get that in his next role, in Is God Is, which is on the way,” she says. “This film follows two sisters on an epic quest for revenge, confronting a deeply charged family history that pushes them to extraordinary lengths.”

Directed and written by Aleshea Harris, the project marks Harris’ feature directorial debut and is based on her award-winning play of the same name. “

With Sterling K. Brown playing their father, I feel like we’re going to get that villain here,” Dani adds. “What are we anticipating with this film?”

Tanya highlights another standout name attached to the project.

“I am just very happy to see Vivica A. Fox — because you gotta say her whole name — just out here doing what she’s really good at,” she says. “I think our generation fell in love with Vivica way back in the day when we saw her in Set It Off and those acting chops. Sis is one of one, and I don’t think she gets enough credit.”

The conversation then pivots to the current state of Black rom-coms, with Dani introducing You, Me & Tuscany.

“Another film that just came out is called You, Me & Tuscany. This is a rom-com produced by Will Packer, directed by Kat Coiro. Have you guys seen it? Are you planning to see it?” she asks.

Alvin is a little hesitant about the project; Tanya, however, is all in.

“I’m definitely going to see it. That’s definitely gonna be date night,” she says. “It’s the Fresh Prince of Bridgerton — Regé-Jean Page — and Ariel, Halle Bailey, the little Black mermaid. We have to go support.”

“You’ve seen it, Dani. Are there any other Black people in Italy, in Tuscany, besides these two?” Alvin asks.

“No,” Dani responds with a laugh.

Despite it lacking some melanin, Dani praises the film’s immersive visuals and intentional storytelling.

“It is absolutely gorgeous,” Dani says. “Kat Coiro told me that she has seen a lot of films that were, quote unquote, based in Italy that didn’t really capture the essence of it, so she was very mindful of that. She wants to transport you to Italy; you see the food, you see the rolling hills. It’s very beautiful, very romantic.”

Dani also highlights Will Packer’s track record of delivering for audiences.

“He’s excellent at his work, and he’s great at getting Black audiences in seats,” she says. “One thing I like is that he and the director went into this colorblind. He told me this is just a universal love story that anybody can relate to.”

BOSSIP previously reported on this abuse of police power, and today there is an update.

Former Arizona Cardinals player Wesley Leasy has filed a lawsuit stemming from an April 10, 2025, incident with Phoenix police that he says was a violent and unjustified. According to a report by Yahoo Sports, Leasy was held at gunpoint, ordered to the ground, and handcuffed when he was picking up his daughter from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

The legal complaint accuses law enforcement of wrongdoing, including claims that the officers’ actions were unjustified and disproportionate to the situation at hand. He alleges that he was treated aggressively despite not posing a threat, and that the incident left a lasting impact on both him and his daughter, who witnessed the confrontation. The lawsuit seeks damages related to injuries, emotional distress, and alleged violations of his civil rights.

“I’m in a very precarious situation,” Leasy said, addressing the distressing situation. “I know my life is in danger, but I know that my daughter, on the other side of me, is becoming unstable. She doesn’t know what’s going on. My daughter’s hysterically crying.

“There’s at least 10 guys with their guns pulled out, and there are lasers now pointing at you, machine guns, heavy, not a handgun. You’re thinking the very worst that somebody’s going to shoot you at this point. You don’t know why, or they think you’re going for a weapon, and you kid and yourself is going to be killed right here on the spot.”

Leasy had previously filed legal action against both the Mesa and Phoenix Police Departments seeking $2 million in damages for the emotional distress of both him and his daughter.

Sadly, this case is much like many others that BOSSIP has covered, where police are too inept, or racist, to properly identify suspects that they are chasing. In this case, officers said that they were in pursuit of a white Mercedes-Benz that was supposedly linked to a man involved in a shooting. That vehicle was being followed by a helicopter but was lost at the airport. Once officers spotted Leasy’s Mercedes, they re-engaged under the premise that his car was the suspect.

However, here’s the infuriating part, the man police were after was described as “a young Caucasian male with tattoos on his neck and face” none which describe Leasy or his daughter in the slightest.

We hope this brotha takes a lot more than $2 million.

Just know when something’s weird in your gut, there’s a reason,” said the star.

The model and Bravo star posed for Glamour this week, pairing an absolutely stunning spread of photos with an in-depth interview that serves as her response to all of the drama following her right now. ICYMI, Miller is in the middle of some serious mess after one of her closest friends on Summer House, Amanda Batula, revealed she was dating Ciara’s ex, West Wilson.

After weeks of online speculation, Batula and Wilson confirmed that they had begun a relationship, issuing a joint statement about where they stand.

“We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected,” they wrote in matching Instagram Stories. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”

Ciara has kept quiet on this controversy in the weeks since, but in her cover story with Glamour, she opened up about the “major mindf**k” of dealing with this situation in front of the world.

“It’s one thing to experience hurt behind closed doors. To experience it so publicly is like another layer, and then to have to see what you thought was your life still play out in season 10. It’s a major mindf**k,” she admitted.

As for why she waited this long to say something, Ciara said, “I want to do it in my way, in a way that feels more intentional than just a podcast or a comment under a picture.”

Seemingly hinting at the idea that she knew something was happening with Batula and Wilson behind closed doors, Miller told Glamour, “Just know when something’s weird in your gut, there’s a reason.”

“What’s done in the dark always comes to light,” she continued. “And sometimes you really don’t even have to do anything except sit back and let the universe handle it all.”

While speaking about her relationship with both parties, Ciara says she was closer to Amanda, but admits she and West were getting to a better place.

She says they’d even discussed boundaries and how to move forward as friends, which included not sleeping with any other folks from Bravo.

“I felt like we were actually starting to be friends again,” she explained. “And we had had a lot of conversations about, ‘Okay, what do I need from you? What do you need from me? What are some of the boundaries that we want to keep in place? What’s going to make our friendship a lot easier?’ One of those [boundaries] was no more sleeping with people on Bravo. Obviously, now that’s out the window.”

When asked which betrayal felt larger, Miller said, “a guy’s a guy” and “you just can’t put anything past a man,” but “I just never would think that it would come from someone like Amanda, who has been what has felt like in my circle and in my corner for so long. I think that’s the craziest part.”

Ciara also said that she got “less than 24 hours” of a heads-up that West and Amanda planned to post the statement on Instagram confirming their relationship.

“I read it with the rest of the world,” she continued. “There’s something about the lack of being able to say each other’s names in the statement that I found very telling, but I don’t know.”

Tiffany & Co. brought out stars and fashion icons in New York City on April 16. But Teyana Taylor easily delivered one of the night’s most talked-about looks.

The luxury house was celebrating the launch of its Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden jewelry collection at the Park Avenue Armory. Just in time for spring, the new collection marks the fourth Blue Book presentation under chief artistic officer Nathalie Verdeille. It reimagines flora and fauna through a fresh high jewelry lens.

Teyana Taylor Brought All The Drama To Tiffany & Co. In Calvin Klein

Tiffany & Co. fine jewelry is synonymous with sophisticated style, so we already knew the looks would be on point. Still, Teyana made sure all eyes were on her.

She is always a moment. When she steps out, she brings excitement, style, and just enough mystery to make people lean in. That was the case again at Tiffany & Co.’s celebration, where she arrived in an oversized, deep-brown Calvin Klein coat dress that draped over her body and brought all the drama.

At first glance, the look had fans and onlookers trying to figure out what was underneath. Then came the reveal: the coat was the outfit.

The plush look had major volume through the sleeves and body, giving it shape and movement. The Rose from Harlem paired it with pointed brown boots and Tiffany & Co. jewelry peeking through at the neckline.

Her signature pixie cut, now dyed a bold red, made the whole look even more interesting. Her dramatic glam pulled everything together. It was rich, bold, and impossible to ignore.

Gabrielle Union And Mariah Carey Delivered Timeless Style

Gabrielle Union and Mariah Carey also brought major fashion energy to the Tiffany & Co. launch event. Both stars kept things classic in black looks that felt elegant, rich, and made for the glamour of the night. At 53 and 57, they continue to define timeless beauty and flawless style.

Mariah, 57, stepped out in a fitted black dress that hugged her curves and delivered the kind of sleek glamour she has made look effortless for years. The silhouette was simple and flattering, letting her Tiffany & Co. pieces shine without competing for attention.

She wore her blonde hair in a center part, with big waves that were teased out for that signature Mariah finish. Her makeup was soft, glowing, and camera-ready. As a beauty and fashion icon, Mariah continues to show how effortless glamour never misses.

Gabrielle, 53, also delivered a standout fashion moment while posing with Dwyane Wade. She wore a fitted black column gown with silver cascading sequin detail along the skirt.

The Bring It On actress pulled her hair into a tight bun. The sophisticated style highlighted her cheekbones and stunning Tiffany & Co. pieces. Her makeup was soft but defined, and her smile did what it always does on a red carpet.

Tiffany & Co.’s guest list was full of stars, and everyone understood the assignment. The fashion was just as glamorous as the sparkling jewelry – and just as hard to stop staring at.

On Thursday, April 16, the LAPD shared a tweet confirming that the 21-year-old artist, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, was taken into custody by the Robbery-Homicide Division and is being held without bail as prosecutors review the case for possible charges.

The arrest marks a significant development in an investigation that began in September, when authorities discovered a dismembered body inside the front trunk of a Tesla registered to D4vd. As previously reported, the victim was later identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez, a 14-yeaqr-old girl who had been reported missing from Lake Elsinore, Calif., after she was last seen in April 2024.

Authorities have confirmed that Burke and the victim were in a relationship prior to her disappearance and had matching “Shhh…,” tattoos on their fingers.

In the months following the initial discovery, Burke canceled his tour and stepped back from public appearances.

In January, new developments suggested prosecutors were moving closer to a formal indictment. According to NBC Los Angeles, Neo Langston, a 23-year-old associate of the singer, was arrested Jan. 22 in Lewis and Clark County, Montana, on an out-of-state warrant after failing to appear as a witness in Los Angeles proceedings.

Law enforcement sources said his arrest was tied to an ongoing grand jury investigation into the case. D4vd’s manager, Robert Morgenroth, testified before the grand jury about what was known internally and why authorities were not alerted sooner after a body was allegedly placed in the singer’s vehicle.

Fox 11 reported that it was “likely” that D4vd would face murder charges. While the medical examiner was still working to finalize a cause of death due to the advanced state of decomposition, prosecutors believed the singer did not act alone in disposing of the body.

D4vd was officially confirmed as a suspect in February.

This story is still developing…

What we’ve built is not just an event—it’s a community, and that community continues to grow, evolve, and empower each other across generations.”

Bigots gon’ bigot. Terrorist gon’ terrorize.

According to reporting from the AP News, a Tennessee man with ties to white supremacist movements has pleaded guilty to carrying out a 2019 arson attack that severely damaged a historic civil rights institution in Nashville, Tenn.

Regan Prater admitted to setting fire to an office building at the Highlander Research and Education Center, a site long associated with training and supporting prominent civil rights leaders.

The fire, which occurred in March 2019, caused more than $1.2 million in damage and destroyed decades’ worth of irreplaceable materials, including archives documenting the history of the Civil Rights Movement. The center has played a significant role in American history, having hosted figures such as Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. during pivotal moments in the struggle for racial equality.

Authorities linked Prater to the attack through online messages shared in white supremacist group chats. It continues to be astounding that criminals believe they can hide on the internet despite the plethora of cases that have been solved based on digital footprints.

According to court documents cited by the AP, Prater, under the screen name “Rooster” described exactly how the fire was set using a makeshift incendiary device involving a “sparkler bomb and some Napalm.”

Investigators also found a white supremacist symbol spray-painted near the scene, further reinforcing the motivation behind the attack. Clearly, this guy wasn’t very smart or a very good criminal.

In addition to the arson charge, Prater pleaded guilty to attempting to aid a foreign terrorist organization. Prosecutors accused him of trying to provide Hezbollah with personal information about individuals he believed were connected to the Israeli government. This additional charge significantly broadened the scope of the case beyond run-of-the-mill domestic extremism.

Prater’s criminal history includes a separate 2019 arson at an adult store in Tennessee, for which he previously served a five-year federal prison sentence. AP reports that evidence in the earlier case included video footage recovered from his cellphone showing the fire being set. Buy one charge, get another one free? Don’t mind if we do! Under a plea agreement, he faces a potential sentence of up to 20 years in prison, with sentencing scheduled for September in Knoxville, Tenn.

Despite the destruction, the Highlander Center remains symbolically significant, representing a legacy of activism and education that will not be erased.

We hope the judge throws every book in the library at this guy.

The long-running affair, now firmly cemented as one of the city’s most anticipated cultural traditions, drew thousands to a multi-day experience that went far beyond a day party, delivering a carefully curated weekend centered on not just sharp suits and curve-caressing sundresses, but community, connection, and impact.

Hosted by the Delta Mu Mu Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., the event continued its evolution from a single gathering into a four-day destination that fused fashion-forward flair with philanthropic purpose. Attendees traveled from across the country to take part in the festivities, which ultimately support the Commitment to Excellence 501(c)(3), an organization that has awarded more than $700,000 in scholarships to young Black men since 2009.

From the opening moments, the weekend unfolded intentionally.

Thursday’s golf outing and “19th Hole” social set the tone, followed by a high-energy Friday “Prequel” packed with multiple music rooms and a choose-your-own-vibe atmosphere.

By Saturday, the focus shifted to wellness and community with a morning bootcamp and panel discussions before the main event took over the Home Depot Backyard.

The flagship experience delivered exactly what attendees have come to expect. A sea of crisp seersucker, flowing summer silhouettes, curated lounges, elevated VIP sections, and a vibrant showcase of Black-owned beverage brands, all underscored by an environment that prioritized both safety and sophistication.

But beyond the aesthetic, the weekend’s influence extended into culture and conversation.

Notable attendees included Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, who has long supported the event as a cornerstone of the city’s cultural calendar, all while being sure to rep his fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.

Political powerhouse Jasmine Crockett and civil rights attorney Ben Crump also made appearances, hosting a fireside chat about Crump’s book, Worse Than A Lie, adding thoughtful dialogue to the weekend’s programming for an audience that included Dr. Heavenly Kimes.

The guest list also included stars in entertainment and reality TV, with appearances from Quad Webb and Cecil Whitmore of Married to Medicine, Ralph Pittman, formerly of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, as well as 106 & Park’s AJ Calloway, actor Isaac Keys of Power Book IV: Force, and radio legend, Ed Lover.

Together, they added an extra layer of visibility to an event that has always been about more than celebrity sightings, as the organizers emphasized to BOSSIP.

“This event is about the people,” said S&S co-chair Larry Rasberry, noting that they’ve vowed to never center it around a celebrity headliner.

“It’s not about a national recording artist. It’s about Sundresses & Seersuckers, the patrons and our sponsors, and most importantly, those that we’re able to impact.”

And for attendees, the appeal remains both immediate and lasting.

News producer Jason Keith Ingram, a two-year attendee, summed up the sentiment from the ground with an unfiltered endorsement of the experience.

“The best thing about SNS is Black people are having a great time,” he told BOSSIP. “You’re missing it. This is just my second one and I’ll never miss another,” he added, likening the weekend lineup to the early days of Essence Fest.

That same sentiment of Black joy taking center stage was echoed by Justin Valentine, a member of the Delta Mu Mu chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., who leads sponsorships and marketing for the event and has a front-row seat to its growth and impact.

“Success looks like thousands of folks descending on downtown Atlanta and having a good time, raising money for our scholarship and our mentoring program and giving the beautiful folks that come into the city a fun time,” Valentine told BOSSIP.

He added that despite a schedule shift due to global sporting events, the 2026 edition still delivered strong attendance and sold-out moments, further underscoring its influence on the city.

“We obviously had to move our day because of the World Cup and FIFA, but we actually sold out. We still had a great crowd, great attendance,” he said, noting the visible presence of city leadership like Mayor Andre Dickens and the event’s growing footprint.

That footprint extends beyond culture into commerce, with organizers pointing to a growing economic impact that reaches well into seven figures for Atlanta’s downtown corridor.

For Valentine, one of the most meaningful moments comes from stepping back and absorbing the moment.

“At one point during the main event on Saturday, I go to the top and just kind of look down and take it all in. You see over 15,000 individuals that come out and celebrate with us, and I don’t take that for granted,” he said.

He also emphasized that while others may attempt to replicate the experience, S&S’s magic is a unique mix of city, culture, and execution.

“I can give you the recipe, but just like my grandma says, it ain’t gonna taste the same,” Valentine added, pointing to Atlanta’s unmistakable energy and the organization’s hands-on approach as key ingredients.

At its core, Sundresses & Seersuckers remains centered on impact.

Proceeds from the weekend continue to fund mentorship initiatives, scholarships, and leadership development through Commitment to Excellence’s Black Rhinos program, ensuring that every ticket, toast, and tailored look contributes to something larger.

That balance of celebration and service sets the well-dressed weekend apart, and its legacy lies in the doors it opens and the opportunities it creates.

Summer Walker just premiered her latest brand deal, partnering with Pizza Hut for their new promotion.

In the advertisement, a group of women are at home, dealing with heartbreak, when Walker comes in, prompting one of the ladies to yell, “Heyyy Miss Pizza Hut!”

Summer responds by saying, “I know y’all not still in here crying,” while carrying in some pizza boxes. The group goes on to laugh and enjoy their pizza while pushing the aforementioned heartbreak to the side.

Enjoying some junk food when you’re heartbroken isn’t a new concept, and that’s exactly the kind of music Walker makes, but this partnership has an even bigger connection than that.

When Summer Walker and Tori Brixx were involved in a heated public feud involving rapper Rich the Kid, Pizza Hut ended up in the middle of things.

In November 2025, Walker took to Instagram to call out Brixx after claiming she sent Pizza Hut boxes to her house. This came just days after Walker revealed she’d used the nickname “Pizza Hut” as a code for her secret link-ups with Rich the Kid, who she begged to continue seeing her despite his engagement to Brixx.

Walker posted photos of the huge amount of pizza boxes that appeared at her doorstep, publicly accusing Tori of harassment and suggesting she intentionally stirred up drama days after the release of Walker’s album, Finally Over It.

“So you harassed me off text free app while I was in the club last night having a time, not even thinking about you & now sending pizzas to my house after telling me you have my address,” Walker wrote in her IG Story. “So it’s giving, restraining order. Like youre literally having a psychotic break over a man who literally is obsessed with me & 14 other women. Like, I really can’t figure out your issue with me specifically, instead of taking it up with him. I gave him back yesterday, babe. Now youre dragging it. Like I’m really over the internet stuff, but ima put this here for the world n police to see in case you really decide to lose your mind.”

A few hours later, Brixx fired back online, insisting she wasn’t behind the Pizza Hut hoax.

“I didn’t send this h*e no pizzas, if I send some s**t to her crib, it wouldn’t be pizzas,” she wrote in the comments section of The Shade Room after the outlet posted the story. “Call the police and have them check the cameras or card for purchase. This h*e having a breakdown. I wasn’t in the way of anything she had going on. She just didn’t like the truth once it was out. How she upset w/ me because the audio comes out of her begging?”

Brixx also claimed she had receipts from 2023 and 2025, including one “from last week” in which Summer allegedly cried about her, adding: “Just stop Summer, you weird AF.”

That explosion came shortly after leaked audio surfaced, which allegedly featured Summer telling Rich the Kid to keep cheating on Tori with her. The messages imply their situationship took place sometime between 2023 and 2025, per details obtained by The Shade Room. Photos later emerged of the two on an undercover trip to Italy.

In the audio reportedly recorded in July, Summer can be heard saying: “You know, when you have time […] we always have a good time. You treat me so good, I treat you so good.”

While she expressed that she was glad Rich and Tori patched things up before their engagement in 2019, she expressed that she wanted to continue seeing him privately: “I’m so glad that y’all are back together. I want y’all to be together forever, and I just wanna f**k with you.”

She also asked him to buy her a new phone and store her number as “Pizza Hut” so Tori wouldn’t find out, hence the nickname. At one point Tori even used the Pizza Hut reference to mock her.

“We are engaged, and you know that,” wrote Tori on her InstaStory. “It was my choice to not get married because Rich and I had a few hiccups, and I knew we had a few things we needed to work on as a family.

“I’m not in a rush to get married and then have to get a divorce, but what I do with MY man in MY household is none of your business Pizza Hut,” she added.

Things got a little spicy between R&Brothers Ray J and Sammie, and fans are still asking questions about the brotherly love that turned into a full-on raucous rumble. Here’s a breakdown of their brotherly brawl.

Just a few days ago, Ray J and Sammie got into a heated exchange. Complex shared that Sammie took to Instagram on April 14 to claim he put hands on Ray J after things escalated during a night out. 

While the internet immediately reached for the popcorn, Sammie doubled down with a mix of humor and concern. He joked about Ray J needing to lay off the liquor while also saying he plans to check on him once he recovers.

“I beat up Ray J last night. He was talking crazy to me,” he wrote, before adding more context that it was not exactly a friendship-ending moment. “He started it, then I finished it. But that’s my brother.”

After his initial post, Sammie followed up with a video of Ray J in the car, telling him he loved him and assured him that they ended their beef.

“Bro I would never [get my get back],” said Ray J. “You did that to me.”

He also went live on Instagram, showing that he and Ray butted heads again. This time, the two nearly came to blows as they wrestled, and Ray made comments like, “You’re starting to look real attractive” before adding that he’s “going to get something in him he doesn’t want.”

“Stop thinking I’m cute!” replied Sammie while putting his finger in the fellow singer’s face.

What…is….happening?

Ray J & Sammie’s History

Both artists have been closely linked for years, especially through their R&B supergroup RSVP alongside Bobby V and Pleasure P.

Of course, social media did what it does best and turned the moment into instant commentary. One viral post on X caught the chaos perfectly with a clip from Sammie on Live.

Users reacted in real time to the alleged altercation and Sammie’s explanation of events. The reactions ranged from jokes to concern, with many pointing out that the situation felt more like a heated disagreement than a serious feud.

Ironically, just hours before the drama, Ray J posted a video showing the two hanging out in Atlanta. He even invited fans to link up with them in the city. That short clip was the calm before the storm.

Messy? Yes. The end of a friendship? Probably not.

What do YOU think about Ray J and Sammie’s brotherly brawl?

The post R&Brother Brawl: Here’s What Happened When Sammie Said He ‘One Wish’ Walloped Ray J—’That’s My Brother’ appeared first on Bossip.

Viewers quickly became obsessed with Mia’s relationship with bestie Ciara Miller and the rest of the cast, and now that there’s drama brewing in the real world, fans couldn’t wait to hear what Mia had to say about it.

Calabrese made her debut on Watch What Happens Live! this week, where she opened up to Andy Cohen about the devastating betrayal from one of Miller’s best friends, Amanda Batula, and her ex, West Wilson. It was revealed after filming wrapped for season 10 that the former friends were starting a romantic relationship, which they later confirmed in a joint statement.

As fans of this particular scandal already know, Rihanna—a huge Bravo fan—immediately unfollowed Amanda and West after hearing about their relationship. She and Mia recently attended a mutual friend’s birthday party, where Rih was eager to chat about West and Amanda starting a relationship behind Ciara’s back.

Of course, Andy immediately asked Mia about her hangout with Rihanna on WWHL, which she was excited to dish about.

“I sure did [hang out with Rihanna]. Thanks for saying it. I sure did. I love her,” Calabrese began. “I love RiRi, and she loves me…She does! You can tell her I said that. She loves me.”

She continued, “As soon as she saw me, she beelined for me, took her glasses off, and said, ‘We need to talk.’ I said, ‘Anything for you.’ I’m not surprised she unfollowed those people.”

Earlier this month, it was rumored that Rihanna had a man in mind for Ciara: Michael B. Jordan.

According to a tip from DeuxMoi, a source said, “[A] friend has been very close to Ciara for a few years now. Rihanna was not happy with what happened and has now decided to play matchmaker for Ciara. She’s been DMing her, and a VERY prominent A-list actor who JUST won an award is apparently very interested.”

Cohen asked Calabrese if there was any truth to that rumor, and while she didn’t confirm it, she did encourage the possibility.

“I think she loves Ciara as well, and I’m open to it,” Mia replied. “I hope it’s true.”

Joseline Hernandez might be ready to retire from being the “Puerto Rican Princess” and clock in as Bravo’s next headline-making Housewife.

Shortly after announcing that she’s expecting her second child, the 39-year-old star took to X to ask Bravo boss Andy Cohen to cast her on The Real Housewives of Miami when the show returns from its hiatus.

“Alright @bravoandy what we doing. I’m in Miami and my house is bigger than [a lot] of the ladies you had on last season and my story is better than a lot of them and I’m actually married can we pick them back up and put me on there. Asking for a friend,” she wrote in a since-deleted tweet captured by No Chaser TV.

Cohen has yet to respond, but Joseline certainly has the résumé and a dynamic personality that could bring fresh energy to the franchise which recently welcomed fellow Love & Hip Hop star, K. Michelle in Atlanta.

The Real Housewives of Miami was placed on a hiatus in March.

In March, a source confirmed to People that The Real Housewives of Miami had been placed “on pause” after season 7 concluded in October 2025.

The show is also reportedly the least-watched spinoff in the Real Housewives franchise, according to Variety.

Joseline has a long reality TV resume.

Joseline Hernandez has appeared on several reality TV shows over the years, building her career as a bold and often controversial on-screen personality.

She first rose to fame on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, where she was a main cast member from 2012 to 2017, appearing across six seasons and becoming one of the show’s breakout stars as the love triangle between her, producer Stevie J, and then girlfriend MiMi Faust brought tons of drama.

In 2016, she also starred in her own spin-off, Stevie J & Joseline: Go Hollywood, which aired for one season. She briefly returned to VH1 for the third season of Love & Hip-Hop: Miami in 2020, but departed shortly after to start her own lane in the reality TV world that same year.

She created and starred in the messy and cheeky dance competition show, Joseline’s Cabaret, which premiered in 2020 on the Zeus Network and has continued with multiple seasons filmed in different cities (Miami in 2020, Atlanta in 2021, Las Vegas in 2022, and New York in 2023–2024). She also appeared on BET’s College Hill: Celebrity Edition in 2023, an appearance where she found notoriety and formed a few enemies, particularly with former castmates Amber Rose and Ray J. She’s now currently promoting her own streaming platform, Why Are You Here TV.

If Joseline does get the green light from Andy Cohen, she would join The Real Housewives Of Miami’s current cast which includes Guerdy Abraira, Lisa Hochstein, Julia Lemigova, Alexia Nepola, Larsa Pippen, Adriana de Moura, Marysol Patton, and Kiki Barth. Business expert Stephanie Shojaee was also added last season.

Here’s what social media thinks about Joseline joining RHOM.

Social media users seem divided over the idea of the “Do It Like It’s My Birthday” singer joining the Bravo family.

Some think her presence could make for compelling television, while others point to Joseline’s past incidents of physical violence on reality shows as a reason it might not work.

Still, a few fans believe Andy Cohen should give the rapper and reality star a chance, similar to how he recently welcomed K. Michelle on Season 17 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

“I’m sorry but this would eat, especially with Alexia and Lisa,” wrote one person in the comments section of No Chaser TV on April 15.

“She saw K. Michelle on RHOA and thought she had an in….no m’am,” penned another user.

“Joseline is not housewives material. They ladies would be scared to film with her lol,” a third noted.

“I mean if K. Michelle can do it why not,” another added. 

Do you think Joseline Hernandez would be a good fit for the show? Thoughts?

Once again, police show a complete inability to properly identify suspects.

What followed, as captured in nearly eight minutes of excruciating footage first captured by @Sinastrm, was a brutal and excessive use of force that is becoming all too familiar.

Brown is seen being punched repeatedly and violently manhandled by officers who, despite his insistence that he wasn’t resisting, continued the assault. He later recalled being shoved and grabbed while officers barked commands, a blatant escalation that represents a clear abuse of power rather than any measured attempt at police work.

Even more infuriating, police later admitted they had the wrong person. Brown had no connection to the alleged drug activity, yet he still ended up bloodied, humiliated, and initially charged with resisting arrest. That charge was later dropped.

“I just thank God that I’m alive. That’s all I can say,” Timothy L. Brown told CBS News New York exclusively. “I know there’s a reason for everything, and I know God’s watching, and I want justice.”

Nicki Minaj‘s little sister is speaking out again following her now-viral appearance at a Cardi B concert.

“I don’t feel like I got to pick a side,” said the rising artist.

During a conversation with Hip-Hop Wired, Ming addressed her decision to attend the Houston tour date of Cardi’s Little Miss Drama Tour in March.

“I was shady for that, wasn’t I? I wasn’t trying to be shady,” Ming Li said. “I felt like at the time I was hanging out with my friends and they wanted to go out, I wanted to go out too. I’m not staying in the house by myself. It was either go outside, drink, have fun, or stay inside, be bored, watch TV? I’m not doing that sh*t. I was like one time for the one time.”

The moment quickly made waves online, sparking debate among fans of both camps, something Ming says comes with the territory of being tied to one of rap’s biggest stars.

“Everyone that was hating on me or loving me after that was still on my Instagram page, on my TikTok page, still following me around. So I feel like no matter what I say it’s going to be a blessing and a curse when it comes to my sister [Nicki Minaj].”

She also made it clear she doesn’t feel the need to choose sides between Nicki and Cardi, despite what others may expect.

“I don’t feel like I got to pick a side, I feel like you know, if you’re not putting money in my pockets, there’s no side to pick. Or if I feel like y’all not even my family or you’re not in our family circle to tell me anything, you can’t really let me know about what I should or shouldn’t feel.”

As previously reported, Ming’s concert cameo first sent social media into a frenzy on March 5 when she posted photos and clips from the night while shrugging off calls to “pick a side.”

“Pick a side? No side…Who said you can’t love both?” she wrote at the time, adding, “Y’all just want a drama…At the end of the day, we all grown.”

She later doubled down in comments and even posted a parody apology video, joking about “being there and having so much fun” while noting she felt “celebrated and not tolerated.”

Ming went on to defend her decision even further in Instagram comments, replying to one critic and writing:

“babe my own sister called me a ‘clown’ and a ‘mooch’ and yall still support, couldn’t even tell yall who her real daddy was.”

Cardi also weighed in, telling fans that Ming “needs guidance” while noting that she’s in her kindness era.

“I just believe the little girl needs guidance, unfortunately I can’t give it because it’s just too close.”

Nicki Minaj Seemingly Shaded Ming Li In 2024

The tension between Ming Li and her big sister isn’t new.

As previously reported, Nicki Minaj appeared to publicly chastise Ming in August 2024 following her appearance on the We In Miami Podcast, where she admitted the two were “never close” and sometimes clashed.

Shortly after, Nicki seemingly responded during a Stationhead broadcast with a pointed message about loyalty, privacy, and success.

“Why would a person speak openly about a private person?” Nicki said at the time, before adding,

“Being a mooch and a clown don’t run in my DNA.”

While Nicki never directly named Ming, many Barbz believed the message was aimed at her.

After catching wind of her famed sister’s shade, Ming reposted the clip and wrote,

“I still love her…I tried as a sister to please her but I realize I gotta please God first.”

Check out the full clip of Nicki Minaj’s sister Ming Li below:

That Rihanna reign (still) won’t let up!

Rih hasn’t released an album in nearly a decade, much to the chagrin of her Navy, but the superstar songstress just added another historic flex to her already stacked résumé, no new music required.

According to People, Rih Rih has officially become the first woman to surpass 200 million RIAA singles certifications. With 200.5 million certified units, Rihanna now sits comfortably in third place on the all-time list behind Drake and Morgan Wallen. Her catalog appears to be timeless and unstoppable.

What makes this achievement even wilder is the timeline. Rihanna has not released a full studio album since ANTI in 2016, yet her music continues to dominate. From classics like “Diamonds” to more recent contributions like “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, her voice has remained a constant force in pop culture.

Fans have been patiently waiting for new music, and based on her own words, she is not rushing the process. She previously shared that whatever comes next has to reflect her growth and be worth the wait. Rihanna has been taking her time because she’s not interested in putting out anything mediocre.

But music is only one part of the story as Rihanna’s influence stretches far beyond the booth. As highlighted by The Hollywood Reporter, she is also being recognized with the Edison Achievement Award for reshaping entire industries through innovation. From Fenty Beauty setting new standards for inclusivity, to Savage X Fenty redefining fashion and representation, Rihanna has built an empire that reflects her vision and cultural impact.

The Edison Achievement Award specifically honors individuals who push boundaries and create meaningful change, and Rihanna fits that description effortlessly. Whether through her business ventures, philanthropy with the Clara Lionel Foundation, or her musical legacy, she continues to move culture forward.

Even amid personal challenges and public headlines, Rihanna remains focused and unshaken. This latest milestone shows Rihanna’s consistency, influence, and a catalog that continues to resonate across generations.

Simply put, Rihanna is still that girl. And clearly, the world is still listening.

Congrats, Ri Ri!

In his Netflix doc, The Death & Life of Lamar Odom, the former Los Angeles Lakers star revisited his 2015 near-fatal overdose, where he was found unresponsive at a brothel outside Las Vegas.

Odom’s wife at the time, Khloé Kardashian, is in the series to talk about her marriage to the former NBA player, opening up about how she took care of him after his overdose. Having already split, the reality star even postponed their divorce proceedings to be by his side during his recovery.

Following the documentary’s release, however, Odom has disputed several of Khloé claims, most recently pushing back at her recollection of his father, Joe Odom, saying not put his son on life support. Lamar insisted that he couldn’t see his dad “ever, ever doing” that, also attributing his recovery to God rather than saying Kardashian helped save his life.

After Lamar Odom refuted comments made by The Kardashians star in Untold, Khloe called out her ex-husband over the Netflix documentary.

Now, on a new episode of her podcast, Khloé in Wonder Land, the Good American founder admitted her frustrations after she “spent hours doing this documentary as a favor.”

“I think what’s pissing me off is, we did this, all good. I was done with this. I’m like, I’m never going to do another Lamar thing again, ’cause I’m all good,” she began. “But now Lamar is doing press [and saying he’s] annoyed with me. Claiming or insinuating that I’m a liar, all these things, discrediting me, saying that I wasn’t the one that helped him.”

“You’re sitting on camera saying you married me for fame,” Khloé continued on the April 15 episode of her podcast. “I saw some TikTok that was like, ‘Wait, am I such a fool? Because I thought they really loved each other, didn’t they?’ And the person was like, ‘Did anyone else feel that way?’”

Khloé responded by raising her hand, confirming she also felt that way about their marriage.

“You, your friends, you guys are all saying how you were with me just for fame,” she continued. “That’s like some f**ked up s**t. I feel so dumb, I spent hours and time doing this documentary as a favor. I’m not paid one penny.”

Kardashian also emphasized that she’s not a producer on the documentary, so she didn’t have involvement in the post-production side.

“What is so annoying to me, number one, do people think I just like talking about this all day long? No, it’s traumatic,” she said. “I have to relive things. I have to talk about things that weren’t fun in my life, right? So, I’m like, no, I don’t just feel like doing this.”

As for Lamar’s recent comments, Khloé said, “I don’t even need you to sing my praises. But you’re not now going to s**t on me or now play in my face because you don’t like the reaction and the response from the ‘public.’”
