It was remarked by reporters that Adams’ testimony was inconsistent and featured some contradictions. For instance, it was revealed that key text messages had been deleted by Adams. It was also unveiled that Adams had given Diggs some kind of gift following the alleged incident. The defense is using this as evidence to suggest Adams might be embellishing her allegations.

This morning, the cross-examination continued. According to Los Angeles Magazine reporter, Lauren Conlin, Adams had trouble answering questions about alleged interactions with Cardi B, following the incident. This led to a back-and-forth with Diggs’ attorney, Sara Silva, who seemed exasperated by the ordeal.

Subsequently, things got a bit dicier as Adams was asked whether or not she demanded $5.5 million from Stefon Diggs. Adams alleged that Diggs offered her $100,000 to recant her statement. Silva was audibly frustrated, as this was not an answer to the question she posed.

Judge Threatens To Strike Mila Adams’ Testimony

The judge subsequently went to a sidebar before threatening to strike Adams’ testimony from the record. While some were concerned that there would be a mistrial, the judge ultimately decided against it. However, she has warned Adams that her current conduct can not continue.

Later today, Stefon Diggs is expected to take the stand. If the process goes smoothly, then the trial could be over by the end of the day. However, more conservative estimates suggest this trial will be wrapped up by Wednesday.

Diggs had previously pleaded not guilty to the assault and felony strangulation charges, all the way back in February following the Super Bowl.

The incident in question occurred after a confrontation with a woman. Reports claim that a woman showed up at Chris’ place unannounced–a rather frequent occurrence. However, this time, the woman refused to leave the property, and things got heated. Sources have alleged that the woman tried to run over the guard’s foot, prompting him to fire his gun. The woman called the police, claiming that the man fired his gun at the vehicle. The security officer was then arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and vandalism.

Following the incident, Chris Brown took to Instagram to address the rumors surrounding the shooting–basically, denying that anything happened. “AT THIS POINT THIS PATTERN IS OLD. I’m looking at the news like the rest of yall wondering when and where the hell this happened. I been in my rib this whole time. Ain’t heard a gunshot, police car or anything. DONT ATTACH MY NAME YO NONE OF THIS BULLSH*T. I got sh*t to do!”

Last week, Brown came through with the song “Fallin,” featuring Leon Thomas. Furthermore, he dropped a song just a few weeks ago called “Obvious,” which coincided with his tour announcement.

With the album just days away, fans have been curious about which artists would be featured on the project. After all, a Chris Brown album would not be complete without a strong array of artists by his side. Well, just moments ago, the artist came through with that list of features, and it just so happens to be quite extensive.

BROWN Features

Features List:

• NBA YOUNGBOY
• LEON THOMAS
• TANK
• VYBZ KARTEL
• BRYSON TILLER
• GLORILLA
• FRIDAYY
• SEXYY RED
• LUCKY DAYE

On the rap side of things, NBA YoungBoy, Sexyy Red, and GloRilla will make appearances on the project. From there, R&B is repped by Leon Thomas, Tank, Bryson Tiller, Fridayy, and Lucky Daye. Last but not least, there is some global representation on the album thanks to the inclusion of Vybz Kartel.

That makes for a total of nine features. Chris Brown is known for his lengthy tracklists, so you can expect a ton of solo songs here. Brown is building hype for this project slowly but surely, and his latest tracklist announcement is sure to turn a few heads.

Whether or not CB’s album is able to live up to the current expectations is something that very much remains to be seen.

For months, Tasha K has been paying off her debt to the artist. Furthermore, she has been subjected to what is being described as a non-disparagement clause. Simply put, Tasha K is not allowed to talk about Cardi B or any of the people in her social circle. This includes people like Offset, Stefon Diggs, her sister, and many more.

However, according to TMZ, Cardi and her lawyer, Lisa Moore, are now taking action against Tasha K. Why? They feel as though the gossip blogger has violated the non-disparagement clause by publicly commenting on Offset’s alleged gambling problem.

Cardi B Takes On Tasha K

Cardi B is now looking to take the gossip blogger to court, where she plans to convince the judge that Tasha K is in violation of her non-disparagement clause. The hope is that the judge will rule in her favor and subsequently implement monetary penalties and sanctions on Tasha K. Moreover, Cardi is hoping that Tasha K will pay back her legal fees.

Overall, this is a very messy situation, and the feud has been going on for years. Whether or not this latest gambit is going to work out in Cardi’s favor still very much remains to be seen.

As for Offset and his alleged gambling addiction, this remains a story that fans are interested in. Following the altercation involving Lil Tjay in Florida, this alleged aspect of his life has been under scrutiny. It only makes sense that Tasha K would comment on it. Only a judge can say whether or not this was a true violation of her agreement with Cardi B.

AllStar JR has been arrested in connection with the alleged shooting. This arrest came after weeks of social media taunts from AllStar JR. During that process, he even dissed J Prince Jr. Since that time, the artist has been denied bond, and his legal status going forward remains to be seen.

In the midst of all of this, NBA Ben10’s rivals continue to make light of his situation. For instance, Memo600 took to social media with a meme of Ben10 in Professor X’s wheelchair. He captioned the meme, “Professor B.”

Memo600 and NBA Ben10 have had a longstanding feud, so these recent social media taunts should not be totally surprising. At this time, Ben10 has mostly kept to himself on social media and has not commented on the situation.

Just last week, he posted a photo of himself from his hospital bed, and he appeared to be in good spirits. Despite this, there is still speculation about the extent of his injuries and whether or not he will be able to walk in the near future.

As for the AllStar JR case, authorities are still putting their case together. An investigation is ongoing, and that is where things have been left off. It is a developing story that we will continue to keep tabs on.

A few weeks later, Tjay dropped off his new project, They Just Ain’t You. Unfortunately, the album’s performance has been tepid so far, with the YouTube numbers showcasing a crisis of sorts. Tjay appears to be well aware of the album’s lackluster performance, and now, he is trying to take matters into his own hands.

On Instagram last night, Tjay tagged numerous streamers and artists, telling them to react to his album on stream. That list of content creators included DDG, PlaqueBoyMax, and even N3on. It’s a unique strategy, although it remains to be seen if anyone is going to end up listening to his request.

Lil Tjay Wants Some Help

Unfortunately, for Tjay, this latest promotional campaign isn’t working out in his favor. Over on social media, fans were quite cruel to the artist. Many noted that this kind of e-begging is not a good look. Others noted that in 2026, Tjay simply doesn’t have the same relevance he did six years ago.

Hip-hop is constantly evolving, and Tjay’s sound hasn’t evolved with the times. For the most part, it seems as though the average listener has moved on, and the numbers reflect this harsh reality.

Whether or not Lil Tjay can bounce back from this is something that remains to be seen. There are so many artists making music these days. It has become a painstaking process to compete for the average listener’s attention.

While streamers can certainly help out an artist with their reactions, they can also negatively impact an artist at the same time. People like PlaqueBoyMax and Kai Cenat are tastemakers now. If they don’t like your music, the youth is going to move on.

She wore a giant sheer dress with black lace overlay and padded forms that widened the shoulders and exaggerated the lower body into rounded shapes. The internet had a lot of thoughts. One person on X wrote “I need to hear more from the designer because right now all I see is lace covered intestines.”

That’s Met Gala reactions for you. Cardi leaned into the theme fully and the crowd split right down the middle.

She also wore custom pink knee-high Marc Jacobs platform boots with red lacing running up the front. The shoes were mostly hidden once she hit the carpet, but they were visible leaving the hotel beforehand.

This was Cardi’s seventh Met Gala appearance. She has never shown up quietly. That streak is very much intact.

Worth noting that Cardi revealed on the carpet that she was actually sick and battling a fever. She showed up in a giant sculptural gown with a fever and still generated more conversation than most people in the room. Overall, it’s pretty on-brand for Cardi.

The Marc Jacobs look was inspired by the Hans Bellmer’s disjointed dolls. That lead to the padded, exaggerated shapes across the gown. The sheer black lace also sat over a flesh-toned base, with colorful accents. Lavender, coral, orange, and pink peeked through the fabric in scattered spots.

The shoulders were significantly widened and the lower body ballooned outward, creating an almost cartoon like silhouette from a distance. The platform boots featured a rounded inflated toe, thick front platform, and a block heel that curved inward at the back.

Cardi kept her makeup simple with sleek hair and a soft pink lipstick letting the gown do all the heavy lifting. It’s a polarizing look, but it’s impossible to ignore.

According to TMZ, that wrongful death lawsuit has officially been settled. As per the court documents, the settlement was worked out back in March of this year. At this time, there is no information on how much the settlement was worth. What we do know is that Maraj was seeking damages for loss of companionship.

Polevich did not make this settlement easy on the Maraj family. Months ago, Polevich tried to subpoena Nicki Minaj with the goal of securing a deposition.

Carol Maraj and Charles Polevich Settle

The goal of the deposition was to scrutinize Nicki’s lyrics to prove that she had an unhappy childhood and that Carol had an unhappy marriage. In Polevich’s mind, this could lower the amount of damages he would have to pay. In the end, he never got his deposition, and a settlement happened regardless.

This was a very sad time for the Maraj family, and we cannot imagine the pain they had to go through during the legal proceedings. Polevich ended up spending one year in jail for his crime, which included both hit-and-run and evidence tampering charges.

At this time, Nicki Minaj has not commented on the results of the settlement.

Harlow stepped onto the carpet in a puffy black tuxedo, silver brooch, and another oversized newsboy-style cap. The hat went viral again and at this point it’s basically a signature. This year’s theme was “Costume Art,” and Harlow’s look fit in its own unconventional way.

Harlow also wore a similar hat on the cover of his latest album, and a slouchy olive version appeared in his “Say Hello” music video. The hat has become its own conversation at this point separate from the music, separate from anything else he’s doing. People just can’t stop talking about it.

The hat is designed by Australian brand Monphell. So now at least people know where to find one if they want to recreate the look. Harlow wore the full look in Torishéju, which is a relatively under-the-radar designer and not the obvious Met Gala choice.

Harlow is heading out on his 17-city Monica Tour in August, hitting Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and more. He’s coming off a new album and a full R&B pivot that has kept him in the conversation all year. The album itself drew a lot of attention and not all of it positive. But it kept his name at the top of the feed heading into the summer. Also the tour should keep that momentum going.

Jack Harlow has been in a different mode lately. His new album Monica is a full R&B pivot which is a departure from the rap sound that put him on the map.

The project drew a lot of attention, and not all of it was positive. After being trolled for declaring that his motivation was to “sound Blacker,” Harlow leaned into the criticism and gave the hat the meme treatment himself. That self-awareness has kept him relevant in the conversation.

The hat is Australian brand Monphell and is an oversized newsboy cap that reads more costume than casual. At the Met Gala, it fit right in. Everywhere else, it’s still a talking point.
