Court records reviewed by TMZ show that the former spouses notified the court of their settlement this week. The terms remain confidential, and a judge has yet to approve the agreement. Neither Carmelo nor La La has publicly addressed the latest development.

The couple married in July 2010 after several years together and became a familiar fixture at NBA games and events. However, their relationship underwent difficulties, and they separated in 2017 amid allegations that Carmelo had been unfaithful. They eventually attempted to reconcile, but La La filed for divorce in June 2021, citing irreconcilable differences. At the time, sources close to the pair maintained that their separation was amicable and that they remained committed to raising their son, Kiyan.

La La Anthony Previously Opened Up About Her Difficult Divorce

Although the two have maintained a cordial relationship publicly, La La hasn’t pretended that ending their marriage was easy. In a 2022 conversation with Charlamagne Tha God, she described the decision to walk away as particularly difficult because she’d spent nearly her entire adult life with Carmelo. “Staying is easier. Walking away is harder,” she explained, discussing the challenge of rebuilding her life while keeping things stable for their son.

She revisited those feelings in August 2025 during an appearance on Angie Martinez’s IRL podcast. “The hardest part of my life and then playing it out publicly,” she said, describing the emotional toll of their separation. La La acknowledged that certain memories still hurt years later, even as she’d found ways to move forward.

Despite the personal challenges, both parents have continued supporting Kiyan’s basketball career. Their 19-year-old son is now playing at Syracuse University, where Carmelo famously led the Orange to the 2003 NCAA championship. In March, Carmelo spoke about the effort required to maintain a healthy co-parenting relationship, emphasizing that communication remained essential even after the marriage ended.

The charges include attempted lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14, meeting with a minor for lewd purposes, contacting a minor with intent to commit a sexual offense, and sending content with the intent to seduce a minor.

These charges follow a sting operation from years ago in which Moreland admitted to trying to meet up with a 13-year-old for sex. While authorities ultimately dropped their investigation, the case was picked back up after a documentary called The Sick Mind of EDP445. During an interview with Chris Hansen, he admitted to everything, which led to the Kern County DA investigating further.

According to popular predator catcher JiDion, EDP was tracked down by him and his team after a warrant was issued for the YouTuber’s arrest. He documented the arrest on his Instagram channel.

“In light of recent statements made by Moreland in the documentary, the Kern County District Attorney’s Office and the Kern County Sheriff’s Office reopened the investigation,” the Kern County DA wrote in a statement. “Following its review of the new evidence, the District Attorney’s Office determined that the evidentiary threshold for filing criminal charges had been met.”

This story is developing. At this time, EDP445’s status is unknown, although court hearings will be on the horizon given the severity of these charges.

Some are disappointed in GloRilla. There are pockets of her fanbase who believe that she is above this kind of music. However, Glo seems to disagree. Not to mention, Sexyy Red’s music is fun, regardless of what you may think of it. If two artists want to combine for a banger, then why hate on it?

Well, there have been plenty of critics on social media over the past couple of days. One fan even went so far as to say, “we kindly told y’all to keep this. Glo offered a quick response to the fan. “And I’m kindly saying f*ck y’all, I do what I want,” GloRilla wrote. “If you don’t like it, don’t listen. I luv you. … God bless.”

GloRilla Does As She Pleases

It’s a strong response, although one that shows GloRilla is, in fact, paying attention to what is happening on social media. Social media is where fans are able to sound off, and in this era, the artists can issue any kind of response that they wish.

Whether or not this single works out for GloRilla and Sexyy Red remains to be seen. This Friday, the releases are set to be stacked. So much so that this might be the last big release weekend of the entire year.

That said, there will be increased scrutiny on “Jiggly Bow Bow,” and we are excited to hear how it sounds.

With his bond hearing going down later this afternoon, there was some optimism that he could wind up gaining his freedom ahead of his August 2027 VICAR trial. Unfortunately, that optimism was wiped out on Monday when it was revealed that Durk had been put into solitary confinement. He was accused of “talking back” to prison officials. They say this occurred after numerous searches of his cell for contraband. The authorities never found anything, and Durk simply asked why he was being searched. This is allegedly what the prison calls “talking back.”

Well, earlier today, the Federal prosecutors submitted their opposition to Durk’s request for bond. It was here that they claimed an investigation into Durk’s alleged conduct is being conducted. Additionally, Meghann Cuniff reported that new charges could be on the horizon.

The Federal filing also aimed at JAŸ-Z, J. Cole, and others. They claim that Durk is trying to use celebrity endorsements to get special treatment and that a JAŸ-Z and J. Cole co-sign should not be the benchmark for obtaining bond.

Lil Durk Has A Bond Hearing Today

“Defendant has trotted out several celebrities in his support,” the filing reads. “This familiar playbook to apply public pressure to these proceedings, in search of preferential treatment, should be rejected out of hand by this Court.”

Overall, it was a harsh filing from the Feds, and there is no denying that Durk’s immediate freedom is in jeopardy. If he is hit with more charges, that makes his VICAR trial that much more difficult to fight.

This remains a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH as we will break the news of the judge’s decision later today.

Now, Diddy is currently serving the remainder of his sentence at FCI Allenwood. This is following his transfer from FCI Fort Dix, which was sparked by concerns about his safety within the prison. His prison release date was moved up to February 6, 2028, earlier this week. Today, Diddy is celebrating his 57th birthday.

In true 50 Cent fashion, the legendary rapper decided to make some comments about this. His Instagram caption started off innocently enough, although he had to go and ruin it with a hearty “LOL.” He also included an image of Diddy looking particularly grey in the beard.

“Happy 57th B day Diddy wishing you many more, LOL,” 50 Cent wrote.

This is yet another example of the kind of trolling one can expect from 50 Cent if you ever get on his bad side. That said, his reputation as a bully has certainly been put under the microscope as of late. Tia Kemp is putting those bona fides to the test amid their recent legal battle.

If you’ve been paying attention, 50 Cent has filed a lawsuit against Kemp for her comments about his son, Sire. He also won a temporary restraining order against Kemp. However, some feel as though this is a weak move from Fif given the fact that he started the whole thing.

As for Diddy, it will be easy for him to ignore this kind of stuff. We sincerely doubt Instagram is on his mind right now.

Nicholas Brooks testified that he didn’t tell detectives that he and Yella Beezy communicated on the day that Mo3 was murdered. Brooks revealed that the prosecutors reached out to him to ask about his text exchanges and phone calls with Beezy, while stating that he also would’ve provided this information to detectives in 2020 when they were investigating the murder.

The prosecutor then dived into the particulars of the text messages, including that the timestamps indicated Brooks contacted Beezy after news of the shooting surfaced. Brooks said that he told Beezy about the information he heard about the shooting on the highway.

Nicholas Brooks Testifies In Yella Beezy Trial

“I knew he was from Oak Cliff. He’s a rapper and there had been disputes going on between a handful of them all over the internet,” Brooks explained when asked why he contacted Beezy. He added that he reached out because he wanted to see whether or not Beezy was responsible for the shooting or if he was shot himself. The officer also testified that Beezy told him he was in California at the time that Mo3 was gunned down.

The Yella Beezy murder-for-hire case is currently on its second week of trial. Kewon White has already been convicted of capital murder for MO3’s death. He was sentenced to life without parole. We will continue to keep you posted on any further updates surrounding the case.

Chrisean Rock, Nevaeh, and Jaidyn Alexis are all involved. Alexis is less involved than the others, as she seems to understand Blue’s intentions better than anyone. However, in the case of Chrisean Rock and Nevaeh, they continue to swap places within Blueface’s home.

More recently, Chrisean has been kicked out, and Nevaeh has been welcomed back into the fold. Although last night, things got particularly interesting as Blueface decided to post alleged text messages from all three mothers of his children. He then went on to call them “delusional.”

Blueface Posts Text Messages

Jaidyn Alexis was on a livestream when this happened, and she opted to respond. As you will see below, Alexis was adamant that Blueface was complaining to her about Chrisean and Nevaeh. He allegedly told her that neither can cook, and that he really dislikes them as a whole.

This is all just yet another classic example of how Blueface is someone that farms drama because he knows it will help him out in the long run. Just this week, he revealed that in the first 90 days of streaming, he made $1 million.

Those profits have accelerated in recent weeks as his viewership and subscribers go up exponentially. With this latest bit of drama, we’re sure even more of his supporters will be tuning in, just to see how it all turns out.

For the most part, Smith appears to have Republican politics. However, he fancies himself as a moderate Democrat. Last night, the Democrats had themselves a blue tsunami as they took back the House and the Senate. There is even a chance they win the Senate race in Mississippi, which felt impossible just a few months ago.

As part of his midterm coverage, Stephen A. Smith sat down with right-wing podcaster Patrick Bet David. During their conversation, Smith spoke on the hurdles that keep him from ever running for President. Just a few moments later, he made the claim he could win.

“If I were to win the presidency and had to give up what I’m doing to run the country, would I do it? Sure,” Smith said. “But I’m not going to do it to campaign. I’m not gonna give up everything on a maybe. I wish that I could, because I believe that I could win.”

Stephen A. Smith Would Run As A Democrat

Smith then went on to say that to many of his friends, he comes across as a Conservative Democrat. Smith acknowledged this to be true, as he is a free market capitalist who enjoys strong borders and safe streets.

“You told me I’m the most conservative Democrat you have ever met, and I’m here to tell you you’re probably right. I do believe in a safety net,” Smith continued. “But I am about free market capitalism, I am about strong borders, I am about strong national security, I am about a strong economy, and I am about safety in the streets. Come hell or high water, I’m that guy.”

Whether or not Smith ever ends up running for President remains to be seen. At this point, it is unlikely.

It should be noted that Eminem’s spokesperson denied that El-Sayed’s campaign reached out to him to use his music in the ad. But the fact that there wasn’t a cease-and-desist sent in the same way he did for Vivek Ramaswamy in 2023 indicates that Em wasn’t all the way mad about his song’s inclusion in the ad.

What’s even more interesting is that this comes after Eminem’s horrendous collaboration with Kid Rock, a staunch MAGA Republican who drew comparisons between the Michigan Senator and 9/11 hijackers during an appearance on Real Time With Bill Maher. Their song, “Heal My Faith,” centered around their bond outside of their politics, especially since Em leans toward the Democrats.

Eminem’s “Not Afraid” Used In Ad

In the past, Em has endorsed Kamala Harris and even allowed Joe Biden to use his song “Lose Yourself” in an ad, per Complex. 

El-Sayed evidently has some sort of appreciation for hip-hop since Eminem isn’t the only rapper whose music he’s used during his campaign. He also had another ad that included Kendrick Lamar’s “Euphoria,” which is undoubtedly a strong song choice when the stakes are high. 

We will continue to keep you posted on any further updates on Eminem and Abdul El-Sayed. Check the video out above and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

That said, Cardi had not shown any pictures of her son to the public. It’s easy to understand why. The public can be nosy, and social media can be a devastatingly brutal place.

However, on Wednesday, Cardi B decided to change that as her son celebrated his first birthday. Grey Marsean Diggs was introduced to the world with a series of carousel photos on the rapper’s Instagram account.

This was accompanied by a loving caption in which Cardi explained just how much Grey meant to her during a time of uncertainty.

“Happy 1st birthday to Grey Marsean Diggs!!” Cardi B wrote. “It’s only been 1 year since meeting you but it feels like I’ve had you at my side forever. I carried you through one of the most uncertain high pressured times of my life but having you inside of me through it all gave me a extra strength . I was growing you inside of me and at the same time you were giving me life! You gave a new meaning to what a Grey day feels like. You light up my life and every room with your smile your laugh and your precious spirit.”

It was a beautiful caption that truly pinpoints the joy that Cardi has found in motherhood. We continue to wish her and her son good health.
