Wendy Williams’ health and legal situation have taken another major turn. According to new reports, recent neurological testing indicates that the former talk show host does not have frontotemporal dementia, a diagnosis that has kept her under a court-appointed guardianship for over a year. Sources told TMZ that a top neurologist in New York City conducted the new tests and found no evidence of the condition. As a result, Williams’ legal team plans to file new documents within the next two weeks to terminate her guardianship. If the court agrees, attorney Joe Tacopina reportedly plans to demand a jury trial to help restore her independence. This new medical opinion directly contradicts earlier findings. Back in August, lawyers for Williams’ guardian, Sabrina E. Morrissey, told People that “medical specialists have formed an opinion concerning [Wendy’s] current neurological condition and diagnosis, including whether she has the ability to make decisions.” Those specialists had previously performed multiple tests and brain scans that supported a diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia. Williams has long expressed frustration over her situation. In a March interview with NewsNation, she described her restrictive living conditions, saying, “I don’t have the freedom to do virtually anything… I’m ready to leave. I want my independence back. I want out of this guardianship. It’s suffocating. It’s very lonely.” Her ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, has also been involved in the ongoing legal drama. He previously filed a $250 million lawsuit seeking control of Williams’ guardianship, alleging that the current arrangement had “become a weapon, not a shield.” However, a judge denied his request in October after Williams stated she was unaware of the lawsuit. Now, with new medical findings in her favor, Williams and her team appear determined to regain her freedom and challenge the court’s previous decision.

During a recent appearance on the 7PM in Brooklyn podcast, Ja Rule revisited his long-running feud with fellow rapper 50 Cent, offering a calmer, more reflective perspective on their decades-old rivalry. The Queens native spoke candidly about wanting to move past negativity, urging for mutual respect among artists who’ve helped shape the culture. Ja Rule acknowledged that competition is part of hip-hop’s DNA but argued that it doesn’t need to divide fans. “Fans often feel compelled to choose sides,” he said. “But you don’t though. At the end of the day, you have to appreciate the contributions of both artists.” His comments suggested a desire to see fans celebrate artistry over allegiance, highlighting how rivalries can coexist with mutual appreciation. Though confident in his legacy—“I feel like I was the better rapper… and made the better records”—Ja Rule’s tone reflected maturity rather than malice. His message was clear: personal growth and artistry matter more than revisiting old wounds. A History of Tension The feud between Ja Rule and 50 Cent remains one of hip-hop’s most notorious. When asked if reconciliation or collaboration might ever happen, Ja dismissed the notion. “We’ve never done a record together. We’ve never been friends, so I don’t know why people want to see that,” he said. His response carried a sense of finality, emphasizing authenticity over publicity. He also reflected on how modern rap rivalries have evolved, referencing recent battles like Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake. “That’s why I don’t promote negativity between me and 50,” Ja explained. “I wish that Black man luck. Go ahead and do you but do better—because all you do is take shots at other Black people.” His remarks positioned him as someone seeking positivity in a culture often fueled by provocation. As of now, 50 Cent has yet to respond, leaving fans to speculate about whether the Queens rapper will address Ja Rule’s latest comments.

Chrisean Rock has emerged as a prominent figure at the crossroads of personal life and public scrutiny, with her relationships often unfolding in real time on social media. Amid recent turbulence, she has revealed plans to marry, adding a striking new chapter to her high-profile narrative. During a recent livestream, Rock offered insight into her ambitions, drawing attention from fans and sparking discussion online. “Everyone trying to pry into my life, keep wondering. If you want to see me, come visit me in Baltimore, that’s where I feel secure,” she said. “I’m not venturing out to Los Angeles unless it’s worth my while financially. I’ve just acquired a substantial piece of land—I’m laying down roots and building a compound. I’m in the process of organizing my life and yes, I’m getting married. There’s a lot happening behind the scenes.” The announcement has drawn a mix of fascination and skepticism on social media. Fans expressed reactions ranging from playful disbelief to sharp observations about her past relationships. One user wrote, “So you just bought acres of land and you’re tying the knot after facing drama in your past relationships? You can’t help but find it fascinating.” Another added, “Can you imagine stepping out after jail only to see your partner caught up in complicit situations? That must sting.” Tracing Rock’s Romantic History Rock’s love life has been anything but ordinary. She recently ended her relationship with HoodTrophy Bino just as her former partner, Blueface, was released from prison. Bino later teased Blueface on social media, referencing their past interactions. Blueface publicly confirmed his single status on November 6 via X (formerly Twitter). “I left thinking I had a girlfriend with an assurance [lock emoji] in place. But nothing’s ever truly locked in, so now I’m back searching for something serious,” he stated. Shortly afterward, rumors emerged that he and Hazel-E were exploring a “casual dating” dynamic, highlighted by their recent night out at Memehouse Productions nightclub in Los Angeles.

Cassie Ventura’s testimony has reignited public scrutiny around Sean “Diddy” Combs. She accuses the music mogul of “abuse, violence, and sex trafficking.” Her claims have resurfaced alongside a separate lawsuit filed by Clayton Howard. Howard says he was drawn into Diddy’s infamous gatherings. He later got caught in a legal crossfire involving Cassie herself. Howard alleges that Cassie has avoided legal service in connection to his suit. This complicates an already tangled case. According to recent court filings, Howard maintains that Cassie’s attorney, Douglas Wigdor, has blocked attempts to deliver the necessary documents. This is despite being her public advocate. “Cassie Ventura has used substantial resources to conceal her whereabouts,” the complaint states. Howard claims to have hired a private investigator and multiple process servers to track her across Connecticut with no success. Howard further argues that Wigdor’s visibility in the media should qualify him to accept service on Cassie’s behalf. He has spoken to outlets like ABC, NBC, and E! News. He says these statements, made after Diddy’s high-profile trial, show that Wigdor continues to act as her representative in public, if not in the courtroom. Cassie’s Testimony and the Broader Fallout Cassie’s testimony against Diddy remains a central element in one of the year’s most closely watched cases. During trial proceedings, she detailed a pattern of psychological and physical abuse. She said this led to her earlier civil settlement with him in 2023. Diddy was ultimately sentenced to more than four years for two counts of transportation for prostitution. However, he was cleared of several harsher charges. In a conversation with The Art of Dialogue, Howard described the conditions that led to his involvement. He said he was deceived and confined during several of Diddy’s gatherings. “I would have never engaged in unprotected sex with her had I known she was involved with multiple men,” Howard said. He emphasized his long-standing commitment to health and personal safety.

Billboard is unveiling its much-anticipated list of the top 25 songwriters of the 21st century, releasing names gradually throughout the week. Jay-Z claims the 25th spot, cementing his legacy as one of music’s most influential figures. The countdown began Monday with the first five names, with additional announcements expected in the coming days. Following Jay-Z, the list features notable talents, including Kanye West, Sean Garrett, Fergie, and Jermaine Dupri. Billboard’s methodology focuses on chart performance, highlighting songwriters who have led the Hot 100 with the most number-one hits since 2000. Each individual on the list has achieved at least six chart-topping singles between January 1, 2000, and December 28, 2024. The top eight songwriters have reached double-digit number-one hits, reflecting both commercial success and sustained cultural influence over the first 25 years of the century. As a songwriter, Jay-Z has claimed six number-one hits on the Hot 100. Among his most notable contributions is Beyoncé’s 2003 hit “Baby Boy,” featuring Sean Paul, which stayed atop the chart for nine consecutive weeks. Social media reactions to the rankings have been mixed. One X user (formerly Twitter) argued, “He gave Rihanna a career and hits, so he actually deserves a higher spot.” Another fan praised his enduring influence: “Consistent impact for two decades, that’s legendary.” A Star-Studded Celebration The Billboard announcement coincided with Jay-Z and Beyoncé attending Kris Jenner’s extravagant 70th birthday over the weekend. TMZ reports indicate that the couple arrived discreetly, avoiding paparazzi attention and using a high-priority parking spot. The celebration took place at the Beverly Hills home of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, drawing an A-list crowd including Chris Rock, Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, Mariah Carey, Mark Zuckerberg, and Paris Hilton. Jenner’s six children—Kim, Kourtney, Khloé, Rob, Kylie, and Kendall—were also in attendance to honor their mother’s milestone.

In a scene where sports, music, and redemption intertwined, Harlem rapper Max B shared a heartfelt reunion with Method Man during the New York Jets’ recent victory over the Cleveland Browns. The Wu-Tang Clan legend captured the energy of the moment as fans cheered, marking a vibrant snapshot of joy and renewal. In a playful exchange caught on camera, Max B greeted Method Man with humor and warmth. “Get me a job!” he called out, jokingly asking for photography work as the two embraced amid the roar of the crowd. Joined by longtime collaborator French Montana, Max appeared fully immersed in the celebration—a moment that felt both lighthearted and deeply symbolic. Later, in a short interview with The People Gallery, Max B spoke candidly about his gratitude and sense of peace. “I’m feeling righteous,” he said. “Feeling good. I’m grateful. I’m thankful. God is good.” Offering style advice to fans, he added, “Listen, man, just be yourself… Buy what you can afford, wear what you like. If it looks good on you, own it!” Max B returns, free and wavy When asked about his favorite film, Max B named New Jack City without hesitation, before joking that his favorite song was “my favorite.” He encouraged aspiring artists to connect with him, saying, “Listen, anybody that can keep up with the boss don or anyone who’s an A-lister—look me up! I’ll help you get right; I’ll get you wavy.” This public outing carried extra weight given Max B’s recent return home after spending more than 15 years behind bars. Initially sentenced to 75 years in 2009, he accepted a reduced 20-year plea deal for aggravated manslaughter in 2016 and was officially released earlier this year. French Montana marked the milestone with a heartfelt message: “CANT MAKE THIS UP! MY BROTHER REALLY CAME HOME ON MY B DAY! HAMDULILLAH WALKED IT DOWN! NO MORE FREE YOU.” The Jets secured a 27-20 win that day, pushing their record to 2-7 as the team continues to navigate midseason roster changes involving standouts Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams. For Max B, the day represented far more than a football victory—it was a celebration of freedom, friendship, and the resilience that continues to define both his story and his sound.

R&B star Omarion has spoken out after fellow singer Mario made headlines for critiquing his vocals as “hit or miss.” The comment came during Mario’s recent appearance on the Funky Friday Podcast, where the “Let Me Love You” singer was asked about Omarion’s artistry. “Omarion, it be hit or miss for me sometimes,” Mario said, sparking conversation among fans about the two singers’ long-running professional tension. During an interview with Sway Calloway, Omarion responded to the remarks, calling the conversation “wild” and stressing the importance of respect among artists. “It’s not by chance,” Omarion said. “It’s by hard work. I’ve been doing this a long time. For me, it’s all about respect — especially from someone who came after me.” When asked if he would ever collaborate with Mario following the comments, Omarion made it clear he’s not interested. “I’d rather step back,” he admitted. “I don’t think there’s respect there.” View this post on Instagram This isn’t the first time the two have been compared. Omarion and Mario infamously battled in 2022’s VERZUZ, where their vocal performances became a major talking point online. “I’ve worked hard for my name and my career,” Omarion emphasized. “Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but there’s a way to do it with respect.”

Air travel across the United States is facing mounting disruptions as the government shutdown stretches into its second month. 50 Cent took to social media on Sunday to vent frustration over the growing chaos. Even traveling by private jet, 50 Cent encountered significant delays at an airport overwhelmed by cancellations and staffing shortages. In an Instagram video, he said, “They just said that they’re not even letting the jets go.” On X (formerly Twitter), 50 Cent warned followers, “Man the airport is f*cked up. Forget about traveling right now! Unless you’re driving, all roads lead to Shreveport.” His posts included footage of the chaotic terminal, closing with a blunt advisory: “You can’t try to fly regular.” Man the airport is fvcked up, forget about traveling right now! Unless you driving all roads lead to Shreveport. https://t.co/WtNREs32V0 pic.twitter.com/Wn5XZpraeT — 50cent (@50cent) November 10, 2025 What’s Driving the Delays Airports nationwide are struggling to maintain operations as the shutdown compounds staffing challenges. NBC News reported that more than 7,200 flights were delayed and roughly 2,200 canceled as of Sunday. 50 Cent was part of the turmoil stemming largely from a shortage of air traffic controllers, many of whom have gone unpaid for two months. To ease the strain, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has implemented a 10% reduction in flights at several high-traffic airports. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said last week, “This is about identifying where the pressure points are and how we can relieve them.” Speaking with Fox News on Thursday, he cautioned that disruptions could intensify as the holiday season approaches. Even celebrities like 50 Cent are not immune to these delays. “If we remain in this shutdown posture as we approach Thanksgiving, I anticipate it could be especially challenging,” Duffy said. “While we will work to mitigate safety concerns, the likelihood of flights departing on schedule remains uncertain, and continued disruptions are imminent.”

Diddy’s official intake photo has emerged online.  CBS News reported that the photograph was taken while the disgraced mogul is serving his 50-month jail sentence. He will serve out his time at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Fort Dix in New Jersey. Currently, there are over 4,100 inmates at FCI Fort Dix. According to prison documents, Diddy works in the chapel as an assistant. The job is considered one of the best assignments at Fort Dix. Diddy is responsible for the chaplain’s religious library, cleaning offices, and assisting with record-keeping.  View this post on Instagram “He works in the chapel library, where he describes the environment as warm, respectful, and rewarding,” said Diddy’s publicist, Juda Engelmayer. Diddy receives perks from his gig, such as working in a private office with air conditioning. He is also enrolled in an intensive drug treatment program.  Since he’s been at Fort Dix, Diddy was also the subject of disciplinary action for an unauthorized phone call. The incident occurred a few days after he was transferred to the facility in New Jersey. Diddy told officials it “was a conversation with his legal team about issuing a statement to The New York Times.” Per the Bureau of Prisons, inmates are prohibited from adding multiple people to a call. Also, they can only speak to people on prison phones from “previously approved call lists.” In October, Diddy was sentenced to serve four years and two months behind bars after he was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Diddy was also ordered to pay the court a fine of $500,000. He must also participate in programs for his mental health and substance abuse issues. The 55-year-old Bad Boy Records founder was convicted under the Mann Act. While jurors acquitted Diddy of more serious charges, the guilty verdict on two counts of transportation secured the prison sentence.
