The manipulated image quickly fueled speculation that Good and her husband, Jonathan Majors, were expecting their first child together. However, insiders say there’s no truth to the rumors, confirming the actress is not pregnant.

The original photo also showed Good holding both a phone and a vape. While that detail remained in the altered version, sources noted she no longer vapes and wouldn’t do so if she were expecting, further highlighting the image’s lack of authenticity.

Meagan Good Photo Turns Out To Be AI

The incident adds to the growing wave of AI-generated celebrity hoaxes spreading across social media. As artificial intelligence tools become more sophisticated, digitally altered images have increasingly blurred the line between fact and fiction. Now we’re seeing that result in real time. Public figures are being forced to address rumors they never started.

For now, fans can put the speculation to rest. The viral baby bump photo is fake, and Meagan Good’s representatives have made it clear that the internet got this one wrong.

Despite the continued scrutiny surrounding their relationship, Good has remained publicly supportive of Majors throughout his legal troubles, and the couple has continued to embrace a new chapter together.

According to Billboard, a New York appeals court has denied the rapper’s attempt to secure a default judgment in his lawsuit against Tompkins after she allegedly failed to respond to the complaint in time. The court ruled on Thursday (July 9) that there wasn’t enough evidence to show Tompkins had even been properly served with the lawsuit in the first place.

“The defendant’s excuse for the delay in responding — that she did not receive the summons and complaint — was reasonable,” the court wrote. They noted that 50 Cent failed to prove she lived at any of the addresses where service had been attempted.

The lawsuit was filed by 50 Cent’s publishing company, G-Unit Books, in 2025 after Tompkins posted a series of Instagram videos discussing Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal criminal trial. In the clips, Tompkins also spoke about 50 Cent’s infamous 2000 shooting and his long-running history with Diddy.

The rapper claims those videos violated a 2007 agreement in which Tompkins allegedly sold him the exclusive rights to her life story in perpetuity. Tompkins, however, has challenged the validity of that agreement. She is arguing through her attorneys that she signed it under coercion and intimidation.

The Court Deemed Her Delay Reasonable

Last month, 50 Cent’s legal team urged the appeals court to rule in their favor by default because of Tompkins’ delayed response. During oral arguments, however, judges appeared skeptical of that request, questioning whether she had ever received notice of the lawsuit.

With the appeals court rejecting the motion, the case will now continue through the normal legal process. Rather than ending in an early victory for 50 Cent. The ruling does not determine whether the 2007 agreement is enforceable or whether Tompkins ultimately violated its terms. Those issues are now to be decided as the litigation moves forward.

50 Cent’s company allegedly paid Shaniqua Tompkins $80,000 for the exclusive rights to her life story. He claims the deal was intended to prevent her from profiting off their shared history. It remains to be seen how things will play out in court.

“We have considered plaintiff’s remaining contentions and find them unavailing,” the court explained.

Bright blue accents show up across the toe box, swoosh, and heel. The reversed swoosh continues, a detail tied to Travis Scott’s past releases. One shoe carries fragment’s signature branding near the heel. The other features Cactus Jack detailing instead, splitting the pair’s identity.

An aged, off-white midsole adds a worn-in look, similar to past Travis Scott pairs. A blue outsole finishes off the design underneath. Small text stamped on the midsole reads “FA27.” That detail has sparked early speculation about a fall 2027 release.

Nothing has been confirmed yet by Jordan Brand, Travis Scott, or fragment. Hiroshi Fujiwara previously teased a separate navy version of this same collaboration. A similar design also appeared earlier inside Fujiwara’s own Fragment magazine.

This newest sample adds another version into that ongoing rotation of ideas. It suggests several concepts may still be getting tested. For now, there’s no confirmed release date attached to this pair. Fans will likely see more samples before anything becomes official.

Fragment x Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low

Fragment and Travis Scott have collaborated on the Air Jordan 1 Low before. Their original pairing released back in 2021 in a similar color scheme. That version leaned more toward white leather with black and blue overlays.

This newer sample flips that formula, using black as the dominant base color. The reversed swoosh remains a constant across every version shown so far. It’s become one of the clearest signatures tied to Travis Scott’s Jordan releases.

Fragment’s contribution shows up mainly through heel branding and stamped midsole text. Since multiple samples have surfaced recently, a final retail version isn’t locked in yet. That makes any 2027 timeline more of an early guess than a confirmed date.

Ye’s return to live performance has been met with renewed controversy in recent months. For example, ahead of his San Antonio show on the Fourth of July, city officials publicly voiced concerns about allowing the concert to move forward. San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones stated she did not believe Ye should be welcomed to perform because of the rapper’s history of antisemitic remarks. Despite the criticism, the show ultimately proceeded as scheduled.

The backlash surrounding Ye’s performances has become a recurring theme since his string of inflammatory public comments in recent years. While many fans remain eager to see him perform, promoters and venues have often found themselves navigating public pressure, political scrutiny, and calls for cancellations whenever a new concert is announced.

The concert announcement comes during a busy stretch for the Chicago icon. Earlier this summer, Ye surprised fans by releasing the deluxe edition of BULLY, adding several new tracks and high-profile collaborations while continuing the rollout of the polarizing project.

Internationally, Ye has also faced obstacles securing live appearances. Earlier this year, reports surfaced that he was blocked from entering the United Kingdom following the revocation of his visa. Officials cited the country’s policies regarding hate speech. As a result, each new performance announcement has carried additional significance, with fans closely watching to see where the polarizing artist will be able to take the stage next.

If the New Orleans show is any indication, Ye may be ramping up for more live appearances. His recent performances have become known for ambitious staging and unpredictable setlists, making each appearance an event in itself.

“I remember one time Chris Lighty called me up,” LL Cool J said. “He’s like, ‘Yo, you got to come down here. You got to come to Chung King Studios.'”

Confused, LL asked what was wrong. “He said, ‘For some reason, Ol’ Dirty Bastard just came in here and broke all your plaques and pissed on them.'”

LL admitted he had no idea what sparked the incident.

“I said, ‘What’d I do?’ I didn’t even understand it,” he recalled. “Loved him ever since! Shout out to Ol’ Dirty, man.”

While this is the first time LL has publicly shared the story himself, the incident has lived on in hip-hop lore for years. The late Chris Lighty previously explained that ODB showed up to the studio intoxicated and became frustrated after staff refused to record him in that condition. According to Lighty, the Wu-Tang Clan rapper responded by ripping LL’s plaques off the wall and urinating on one of them before the studio receptionist called the police.

LL Cool J Laughs Off The Memory

Lighty also revealed that ODB’s mood shifted almost instantly after leaving the building.

“At the bottom of the elevator, he changes his whole tune,” Lighty recalled years later. “He was laughing his ass off.”

Additionally, Chung King Studios founder John King later confirmed that one of the damaged plaques never made it back to LL. Instead, he kept the urine-covered plaque, which reportedly remains in his personal collection to this day.

ODB’s unpredictable personality became a defining part of his legacy. There are countless stories from peers illustrating just how spontaneous he could be. This latest retelling only adds another chapter to the mythology surrounding one of hip-hop’s most unforgettable figures.

As for LL Cool J, there doesn’t appear to be any lingering resentment. Decades later, he’s choosing to remember the incident with humor rather than frustration.
