If you can recall, there is an “investigative” grand jury doing work here as well. However, the one that’s been hearing witnesses as of late are the ones responsible for the indictments. TMZ has multiple sources, including prosecutor Beth Silverman, telling them that they strongly believe d4vd is responsible for Rivas’ death.

Speaking of the jury, they questioned Robert Morgenroth, general manager of D4vd’s record label, Mogul Vision, for a few days. Morgenroth is also the president of D4vd’s touring company, Zara Brothers Travel.

It was reported that he was a bit uncomfortable during his testimony.

What Do We Know About d4vd & Celeste Rivas?

He specifically was following Beth Silverman’s line of questioning. He stepped out of the courtroom to speak with his lawyer. Morgenroth allegedly said, “She was very pushy on why I didn’t call police. I said I feel like I didn’t have the responsibility to do that and just wanted to continue with the tour.”

But as for the grandy jury’s indictment, “soon” could actually be February instead of just a few days or something.

Sadly, Celeste Rivas’ family will have to remain patient for justice to be fully served.

d4vd, who is also a suspect alongside a second, unidentified person, allegedly had a romantic relationship with the underaged Rivas. Fans believe as much through photos of matching tattoos, song lyrics, and more.

Rivas, who was just 14, was found dismembered inside the trunk of an impounded Tesla back in September that was registered to the WITHERED singer.

His post that reads, “I’m single I will never be in another relationship again,” currently has 57 million views, 282,000 likes, 40,000 reposts, and 21,000 comments.

But given how massive Kai Cenat is, folks hungry for their 15 minutes are making some explosive rumors about the breakup. One user’s tweet that’s been generating a lot of chatter is that Gigi cheated on Kai Cenat with NBA YoungBoy.

What’s more is that the person behind it connected DJ Akademiks to the rumor. The post reads, “There are some rumors going around that Kia Cenat’s girlfriend Gigi is cheating on him with NBA YoungBoy via Dj Akademiks on his live stream.”

The hip-hop reporter caught wind of this and has firmly denied his involvement in spreading this gossip. In a live stream clip caught by The Shade Room Teens, he denounced it, labeling it “fake” and that the page “just created this.”

On top of distancing himself from the post, Akademiks made sure to clear his reputation. “[I] don’t lie about a motherf*cking thing. ‘Cause if I said that I would stand on it and if y’all questioned me I’d show proof.”

He continues, “But I didn’t say that because I don’t know what’s going on. Ever since then I have tried to do some due diligence. But it’s not for me to speak on and I don’t give a f*ck. I’m just here to clear my name.”

However, Ak does feel bad for Kai and Gigi. He got into TSR‘s comments and wrote, “This time I don’t kno wat going on. Pray for black love tho. They our version of Barack and Michele.” 

But what is true is that Alayah and Cenat are through, with the former confirming her ex’s initial post. “I left, now you wanna get on the internet and rush to paint a false narrative about me off a FAKE twitter post is insane. I’ve never cheated on him, and YOU know that. I have never dealt with that man… play that sympathetic role somewhere else, pls.”

It’s unclear if she’s talking to the person(s) spreading the cheating narrative or Kai for trying to get others to claim this. Overall, it’s a sad and messy situation.

“She lost these properties and she had a mental breakdown,” Benzino said, as caught by Live Bitez. “She was just released from a mental facility, say like, a week ago.

I didn’t get involved with none of that.”

Amidst Heart’s posts, she accused Benzino of allegedly cheating on her with Bobby V. In doing so, she shared a series of text messages that appear to be between herself and Benzino. “You was actually f*cking Bobby v.! Please. I tried to love you. And I have my last to provide as a mother so you feel good about me losing My homes,” she wrote in one of the messages, as caught by Complex. As the other person ignored the remark, she reiterated: “So you’re admitting your bi sexuality omg.”

For those who aren’t huge fans of Rocky doing this much experimenting, we have some unfortunate news for you. Details of what Don’t Be Dumb will sound like have surfaced and once again, the Harlem native will be trying out different genres and subgenres.

“The 15 track, 2LP vinyl moves through genres the way you’d move through a city—Jazz, Hip-Hop, Metal, Indie, R&B—each track capturing a different block, mood, or moment. It’s Rocky in full range.”

This album description comes via Bilt, a loyalty program based in NYC that gives its members incentives for handling their rent and HOA payments on time.

A$AP Rocky partnered with the hometown company to drop an exclusive vinyl for Don’t Be Dumb. It features unique artwork that embodies the spirit of New York. If you are interested click this link.

This partnership isn’t random though. The artist has been supporting Bilt since their inception and was excited to be working alongside them for this album rollout. He also spoke on them making a generous rent donation to the tenants living in his building that will cover their 2026 payments.

A post shared by HotNewHipHop® (@hotnewhiphop)

“For me, it’s always been about your community and neighborhood. Harlem made me who I am, from uptown to downtown, and that connection to place is everything. When Bilt said they wanted to cover rent for everyone in the same building where I grew up, that hit different. That’s not just business, that’s understanding what community really means.”

He continued, “This vinyl is my love letter to New York, and being able to give back to the exact place that raised me while helping people across the country with their rent is the kind of partnership that actually matters.”

All in all, this a very cool update and one that also brings excitement to Rocky’s long-awaited return. Speaking of which, it will officially commence on January 16. Don’t Be Dumb will officially be 17 tracks long, the last two being on a side B.

Song titles and features have yet to be revealed as of yet. However, in terms of the latter, there are quite a few rumored ones out there. Some are Rihanna, Westside Gunn, J. Cole, Jessica Pratt, KayCyy, and Damon Albarn of Gorillaz.

Beyoncé released Cowboy Carter as her eighth studio album in March 2024. She has said in interviews that it and its predecessor, Renaissance, are only the first two parts of a trilogy of projects. While she hasn’t announced her next album as of yet, she spoke with GQ about her plans for the future, earlier this year. She explained that she will only tour while her children aren’t in school. “I have made an extreme effort to stay true to my boundaries and protect myself and my family,” she explained at the time. “No amount of money is worth my peace.”

While Beyoncé has just reached billionaire status, her husband, Jay-Z, hit the mark back in 2019.

As of 2025, Forbes reports his net worth to be $2.6 billion.

In a series of clips caught by Live Bitez, Claressa Shields explains that the mother had been trolling her online for a while after being a fan of the athlete’s. The 30-year-old claims the woman had called her ugly, said she would spit on her, etc.

Claressa theorizes that the mom started to have disdain for her over a man she dated prior to Papoose. But despite all of the alleged trash talking and blocking her on social media, the woman showed up with her children to Claressa’s giveback event.

Once the boxer discovered she was there, she found her in line and with a smile on her face told her to leave. “‘Don’t even make a big scene, just go,'” Claressa says she told the woman.

She also says she addressed the kids and told them that she had love for them. But since the mom showed up with them, she couldn’t bring herself to at least send them out with presents.

What Is Claressa Shields & Papoose’s Relationship Status?

Claressa admits that she felt bad afterwards. However, once she learned that the woman had been evicted from her home before Thanksgiving, that was reason enough to let “the man upstairs” handle her.

“That’s just karma,” Shields said. “It is not good to come for me when I bust my butt for my family. I really have a close relationship with God and I don’t pray for the downfall of my enemies, but God knows. He said, ‘let him get him.’ And the way that God can get ’em is way better than me.”

While this is not the best thing that could have happened to Claressa, she does still have Papoose by her side.

The couple has been together since late last year, with their relationship becoming public amid a messy split between Papoose and Remy Ma. They have been going strong, with some fans wondering if the rapper actually proposed to her already.

That rumor was sparked by a post of Claressa wearing a nice piece of jewelry on her left ring finger. “Engaged,” the post was captioned. However, the boxer clarified that was from a previous relationship. “Y’all are the slowest mfs ever in the comments [three laughing emojis] digging up old videos. My last relationship I was engaged! PAPOOSE hasn’t proposed YET!”

Nicki Minaj has been vocal about her drift towards conservative politics in recent months. She’s praised the President online on several occasions and also feuded with California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

It’s not the first time Toni has spoken out in defense of Nicki Minaj’s decision to appear at AmericaFest. In another video on social media, earlier this month, she said she’s considering following Donald Trump as well.

“Let me make this real quick, OK?” Toni said at the time. “First, Nicki Minaj. She ain’t do nothing wrong but follow Donald Trump. I don’t hear a mother-fucking soul say shit about 50 [Cent] loving Donald Trump, hanging with Donald Trump, taking pictures with Donald Trump, telling Donald Trump to keep another Black man down, in jail. Bitch, please. She did the right thing. I’m about to follow him, too.”

It is a screenshot shared by Yaya’s friend who she was on a FaceTime with. In it, the 25-year-old is sitting down with her stomach poking out. “Come back to Houston [heart hands emoji]” her friend captioned the image.

What has folks thinking Yaya Mayweather isn’t actually pregnant is this Instagram Story post she uploaded around the same time of the FaceTime screenshot. Her stomach is noticeably flatter overall.

Folks are currently clowning her for this maneuver, with one user typing, “I’m abt to poke my belly out, screenshot this real quick” [three laughing emojis] yaya need help BADLY.”

“Her “friend” knew what she was doing or she made the friend do it to get people talking. They ain’t slick lol [laughing emoji],” another says.

Yaya Mayweather Denies NBA YoungBoy Pregnancy Claims

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Watch Live Bitez (@livebitez)

Last month, she apologized for the 2020 stabbing of one of NBA YoungBoy’s mothers to his kids. In her emotional paragraphs, Yaya vowed that she’s going to do better for herself and her child. “I’m a young woman that’s growing yes I’ve made mistakes along away, but I’m striving to be better everyday. I apologize if over the years y’all haven’t perceived me in the best way.”

“I’m not some stuck up entitled spoiled little rich girl… maybe a little mean lol, but i just want to be better especially for my child. i want to right my wrongs while i’m still here and able to, and i want y’all to see the real me and not this f*cked up perception,” she said in part.

It also doesn’t help that Yaya denied being pregnant for a second time with YB back in August.

“Idk where y’all getting this from but I’m not pregnant.” That rumor swirled after the Louisiana MC put out a song called “This Month Confessions.” On the DESHAWN track, he raps, “I’m that n****, I got hella dope, she don’t like that I’m accessible / Now Yaya pregnant, gotta make her get rid of it, this ain’t the time, I told you no.”

Tragically, two other passengers in the vehicle lost their lives at the scene.”

Officials suspect that Joshua’s vehicle hit a stationary truck that was parked alongside the road.

For now, I’m aware of two fatalities and Joshua himself has been taken to an undisclosed hospital for medical attention.” The identities of the two people who died remain unclear.

Anthony Joshua & Jake Paul Fight

The car crash comes just days after Anthony Joshua defeated YouTuber Jake Paul in a sixth-round knockout in Miami. The result marked Joshua’s first win of the year and Paul’s second loss overall. “It takes a real man to do that, and he deserves respect for trying and trying and trying. But he came up against a real fighter tonight,” Joshua said of Paul during a Netflix interview after the fight, as caught by The New York Post.

One of Joshua’s relatives, who asked to remain anonymous, told the BBC that news of the car crash was a “shock.” “We are hoping for his speedy recovery and also the people who passed away – I pray for the departed to rest in peace,” they said, adding that he was travelling from Lagos to the family home. “He’s normally coming around for the new year. We haven’t seen him so we were expecting him.”

The content creator takes it there on the two-minute song, making all sorts of jokes about him not having one of his hands. Some people are actually having a good laugh in the No Jumper comments, but others believe Adam22 doesn’t know what he’s getting into.

“Bro finna get his head knocked off playin like that,” one user comments. Another writes, “So if they catch Adam ion wanna see him crying on the net.”

“Nah the whole 40s gone be on yo ah boa,” says a third. It’s worth mentioning that 4xtra is also a member of the Rollin’ 40s gang, a faction of the Crips.

Why Are Adam22 & 4xtra Beefing?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

This all probably has you wondering how this feud started. Well, it’s a bit muddy but it seemingly has to do with a few posts Adam22 made on his NoJumperClips page. Since December 16, he’s been calling 4xtra out for switching up on him after he claims did all he could to help the rapper gain popularity and assist him with a GoFundMe for his hand.

Allegedly, 4xtra is claiming the opposite. As a result, it ticked Adam off and encouraged him to challenge the MC to a “fade.” However, it seems that 4xtra has been ignoring the NoJumper host, going as far as to stop doing interviews and other content with him. Adam seemingly refers to this interview with Trap Lore Ross and Cam Campone News as the origin for where their differences began.

More is sure to come of this in the following days or even hours, so stay tuned for more.
