After 11 years together, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss and producer Todd Tucker have officially called it quits. The couple, who married in April 2014 and became one of Bravo’s most high-profile power pairs, confirmed their split following months of quiet speculation from fans. According to Burruss, the decision was not made lightly. In a statement, she says, “after deep thought and a lot of prayer, I’ve made the decision to move forward with a divorce. This is a difficult and emotional time, but my focus remains on protecting my peace, being the best mother I can be, and co-parenting with love and respect.” “I’m stepping into a new chapter pouring into my work, my family, and my own growth. I’m grateful to everyone who supported us throughout the years, and I ask for privacy, grace, and understanding as we navigate this transition with our family.” Burruss and Tucker first met in 2011 while filming RHOA, eventually blending their personal and professional lives through multiple business ventures, restaurant projects, and television productions. Over the years, their relationship became a recurring storyline on the show. The pair share two children — son Ace, born in 2016, and daughter Blaze, welcomed via surrogate in 2019. Both Burruss and Tucker have expressed commitment to co-parenting with mutual respect and stability. As Burruss moves forward, she says she’s focusing on peace, personal growth, and her evolving career, which includes ongoing entertainment ventures, Broadway work, and new production projects. Tucker has yet to speak out. View this post on Instagram

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

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

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

Megan Thee Stallion’s defamation case against blogger Milagro Gramz drew renewed attention today. The courtroom examined the emotional impact of a deepfake sexual video allegedly linked to Gramz’s social-media posts. The rapper’s attorney argued that the video, along with other content, caused “extreme emotional distress,” forming a central part of the lawsuit Megan filed last year. Court records introduced during the hearing revealed that Sonstar Peterson, father of Tory Lanez, reportedly transferred $3,000 to Gramz between October 2020 and March 2022. Gramz admitted receiving the funds but maintained they were intended for personal reasons. These included her children’s birthdays and promotional activities—not as payment for defamation. Testimony from Megan’s former manager, Travis Farris, provided further context for the case. He described how the rapper sought therapy after being shown the compromised video. He explained, “The incident prompted her to work through trauma in a clinical setting.” His statements underscored the significant emotional toll Megan experienced following the circulation of the material. Testimony Highlights Alleged Defamation and Harm The trial continues to unfold in a Miami federal courtroom. Both sides are presenting evidence and testimony regarding the alleged defamation and financial transactions. Attorneys for Megan are emphasizing the seriousness of the emotional harm caused by Gramz’s actions. Meanwhile, the defense maintains that any payments were unrelated to the lawsuit’s claims. As the proceedings progress, today’s testimony added crucial details to the case. It highlighted the interplay between social media activity and the personal consequences Megan alleges she endured.

6ix9ine is asking a federal judge to postpone his upcoming sentencing after a violent home invasion left his family shaken and raised concerns about their safety. He faces up to nine months behind bars for violating the terms of his supervised release earlier this year, but the break-in has shifted his immediate focus toward protecting his mother. His attorney requested the delay from U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer so the rapper can arrange a secure relocation for her before returning to court. In a letter to the judge, attorney Lance Lazzaro described the November 16 incident, when four masked men forced their way into 6ix9ine’s home and threatened his mother at gunpoint. Lazzaro wrote that the rapper was in Miami at the time, appearing on an online livestream with influencer Jack Doherty, which may have signaled to the intruders that the property was unguarded. He emphasized the seriousness of the break-in and the urgent need to move 6ix9ine’s mother to a safer location. “My office has been in contact with AUSA Jonathan Rebold, and he consents to this request,” Lazzaro added, noting that prosecutors did not oppose the postponement. The judge has not yet ruled on the timing of the sentencing. 6ix9ine speaks on 4 armed masked men running into his crib and holding his mom at gunpoint while he was out doing a livestream pic.twitter.com/6xOBwSUKnt — DJ Akademiks (@Akademiks) November 17, 2025 He says intruders struck during his brief absence The rapper addressed the incident on social media the next day, pushing back against speculation surrounding what happened inside his home. “I wanna make this video to clear up all the fake news and rumors,” he said. “The world knows this, it’s a fact: I’m on house arrest; I’ve been on house arrest. I think everyone in America and everyone across the world knows that I’m on house arrest.” He said the intruders exploited his brief absence from the residence—an absence permitted so he could work. “Yesterday, they allowed me to leave for work. People saw that I was on livestream with Jack Doherty. They took that opportunity to fcking do some pssy sh*t.” He continued with visible anger: “My mom is 60 years old. Y’all know I’m supposed to come home. Y’all know I’m home all the time. I’m on house arrest. So, y’all take the opportunity that I’m not home…” For now, his sentencing remains scheduled for Thursday, November 20, leaving the court—and the public—waiting to see how the case unfolds in the wake of the break-in.

The singer and actress revealed to PEOPLE at Elle’s Women in Hollywood event on November 17 that she learned about her Grammy nomination with a face mask drying on her skin. In the Instagram video she posted on November 11, she is shown frozen in place as she tries not to crack the mask. “I got a mask on so I can’t move my face,” she says after hearing that her 2025 album Escape Room is nominated for Best R and B Album.

It was so amazing, so beautiful, the best way to find out.” On Instagram, she opened up even more. Teyana reflected on how meaningful the timing felt. “Nearly twenty years ago on November 7th I signed my very first record deal,” she wrote. “And on November 7th, 2025 … God said ‘remember when I told you the weight slash wait wasn’t punishment? I told you it was preparation for what I already had written for you?? Baby girl, it’s your time.’” She described her twenty year journey as a mix of “highs, heartbreaks, reinvention, revelation, rooms I prayed to enter, rooms I had to walk away from, and rooms I had to build myself.” Receiving her first Grammy nomination after all that, she said, filled her with overwhelming gratitude. “To be seen this way.”

Offset has found himself in the middle of escalating tensions with Finesse2tymes, sparked by comments about his ex-wife Cardi B and her relationship with Stefon Diggs. In the wake of these exchanges, Offset appears to have withdrawn from social media, deactivating both his Instagram and Twitter/X accounts.

His words highlighted how rivalries are often interconnected, demonstrating the nuanced layers of influence and reputation in hip-hop culture.

In a recent Vanity Fair feature with actors Callum Turner, LaKeith Stanfield, Glen Powell, and Jeremy Allen White, Rocky shared insights into the album’s progress, teasing collaborations without revealing a timetable.

After postponing the album in 2024, he hinted at a potential surprise drop in an October interview with Numéro Magazine. “To be honest, I don’t want to discuss release dates any longer,” he said. “I believe it’s best to let the music resonate naturally. One day, you’ll simply wake up to exciting news. I regretted giving dates last time, and I want to ensure you enjoy the album when it finally arrives.” View this post on Instagram Rocky’s Pursuit of Film Alongside music, Rocky has pursued acting with increasing focus. “Acting is simply another facet of the expansive world of the arts,” he told Vanity Fair. “I consider myself a Renaissance man, driven by a long-standing passion for pursuing diverse acting roles.” He recently starred in Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest opposite Denzel Washington.
