Rihanna’s Beverly Hills home was recently targeted in a frightening incident. On Sunday (Mar.7), a woman shot nearly ten rounds of gunfire into the residence, with one round penetrating a wall of the mansion, a law enforcement source tells the LA Times. The pop star was home during the event, but remains unharmed. A 30-year-old female suspect was later taken into custody. According to LAPD officials, the suspect fired several rounds from inside her vehicle—a white Tesla—in the direction of the singer’s home. The vehicle had been parked across the street from the property gate. Rihanna lives at home with her boyfriend A$AP Rocky and their three children, RZA, Riot, and Rocki. Luckily, the ANTI singer was the only one present in the home at the time of the incident. Police Sgt. Jonathan de Vera, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that no injuries were reported. View this post on Instagram Rihanna’s Behind-the-Scenes Vlog Fuels Talk of Long-Awaited New Music On a lighter note, while Rihanna has not announced a new album, she recently posted a vlog that has stirred familiar speculation. The video, styled as a day-in-the-life montage, shows her moving between meetings, reviewing instrumentals, and briefly stepping into a recording booth. She does not reference any upcoming project, yet the sight of her in that setting was enough to prompt conversation. In one scene, she appears to jot down notes; in another, she sways to music playing through studio speakers. For fans who have waited since 2016, those fragments carried weight. Online reactions ranged from certainty that a return to music is imminent to skepticism that the footage could relate to film work, brand collaborations, or one of her many business ventures.

BIA is firing back at Megan Thee Stallion after a video of her laughing at Cardi B’s “Petty & Petty” track circulated online. The track, which is featured on Cardi’s Am I The Drama, takes direct aim at the “WHOLE LOTTA MONEY” rapper. In the opening line of the track, Cardi raps, “Name five BIA songs, gun pointin’ to your head/Baow, I’m dead.” While it appears Megan found this part of the song quite amusing, BIA didn’t see it that way. Recently, BIA hopped on her Instagram Story and shared a screenshot of the Houston rapper’s controversial interview with Gayle King. In her documentary Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Own Words, the rapper admitted that she did, in fact, lie about sleeping with Tory Lanez. In another IG Story post, BIA shared a selfie that featured audio from Nicki Minaj’s “Big Foot.” She focused on the lyrics where Minaj rapped, “you lied on your dead mama,” subtly implying that Megan lied about being shot by Tory back in 2020. View this post on Instagram BIA Reignites Beef With Cardi B, Trolls Stefon Diggs Not long ago, BIA reignited her beef with Cardi B. Last month, BIA hopped into the comment section of a Cardi B fan page who posted a clip of her performing “Pretty & Petty,” where she took shots at Cardi’s ex-boyfriend, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs. “Can u name someone with more bms than receiving yards? I can! and I know that… ykwnvm ,” she wrote under the post. Diggs has faced several paternity lawsuits in the past and recently took a major loss at Super Bowl LIX. It didn’t take long for Cardi to catch wind of BIA’s comments. During her tour stop at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, CA, right before Cardi was set to perform, “Pretty & Petty,” she decided to clap back at BIA for shading Diggs. While Cardi admitted that she and Diggs weren’t on the best of terms, she made it clear that she won’t stand for others talking down on her former partner. “Let me tell you sumthin’, just cause I ain’t f*cking with my baby daddy, doesn’t mean you get to talk about my baby daddy b*tch.”

It seems that Papoose is stepping into the ring, picking up where T.I. and the Harris clan left off in their battle against 50 Cent. The rapper recently dropped a freestyle that samples Fif’s “Many Men,” in which he takes direct shots at the G-Unit founder. Earlier this year, the two traded shots online, sharing AI memes of each other; now, however, it appears things have escalated. “Heard they shot his ass with Nina/he deserved a Mac,” Papoose rapped. It doesn’t stop there, he also addresses Diddy’s relationship with 50’s ex-girlfriend and child’s mother, Daphne Joy, makes claims he’s fallen off, and clown’s G-Unit’s early 00s apparel. It didn’t take long for 50 to catch wind of the track. On Saturday (Mar.7), he jumped on Instagram to make it clear that he has no plans responding on record to “rappers who can’t write a hit,” which is a subtle shot at Papoose. “I’m sorry, no response to r*tarded ass rappers who can’t write a hit to save their lives moving right along short bus shorty. LOL @bransoncognac,” he wrote. View this post on Instagram Claressa Shields Takes Subtle Shot At Haters With B-Day Tribute To Papoose Claressa Shields plays no games when it comes to her man Papoose. In a recent Instagram post, while giving the rapper a birthday shoutout, she also addressed the pair’s haters. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MAN & MY MAN ONLY @papoose ! God blessed me with another Year with my Bestfriend! CAN’T WAIT TO CELEBRATE YOU TODAY & THE REST OF THE MONTH PAPI!!! Let’s party like the 70s!!!! FYI March 28th is Our Joint Bday Party #papoose #birthday #happybdaypapoose #claressashields #pisces,” she wrote in the caption of a post which featured a photo of the two cuddled up. The Shade Room recently reshared her post. While some commenters showed her love, others pointed out that Papoose was still legally married to Remy Ma. It didn’t take long for Shields to catch wind of the criticism. She hopped into the post’s comment section, writing, “The comments makes us the most loved couple of the year. Ain’t no way anybody this mad about me wishing my man a happy bday ! It’s actually fire cause we in-love @papoose! my bday 3/17 so don’t get too mad today, save same for me ”

Jeremih will no longer be part of the Boys 4 Life tour, which was set to kick off later this month. According to a statement released via Instagram on the singer’s behalf, he’s facing a “serious medical condition.” Jeremih was expected to join Bow Wow and B2K for the upcoming trek. The statement reveals that the singer has been in an ongoing health battle; however, the particular diagnosis was not shared. That said, he’s currently being monitored closely by doctors. “Due to a serious medical condition, Jeremih will be unable to participate in the upcoming B2K tour scheduled to begin in March. He has been dealing with a health issue, and his condition continues to be closely monitored by his doctor,” the statement read. “He has been dealing with a health issue, and his condition continues to be closely monitored by his doctor.” View this post on Instagram “Jeremih and his team are focused on his care and recovery,” the statement read The statement continued: “Jeremih and his team are focused on his care and recovery and are deeply grateful for the understanding, patience, and continued support from fans, partners, and the touring team during this time.” This isn’t the first time the singer has faced a serious health issue. Back in 2020, he had a vicious battle with COVID-19 that apparently left all his organs inflamed. During an interview sometime later, Jeremih opened up about his stay in the ICU. “What I can say is, man, it definitely is real,” Jeremih said. “I didn’t take it for granted. And truth be told, this was kinda like … I’m a living, walking testimony. To let y’all know, I was really down bad for the last month and a half. While I was in there, you know, I don’t even remember the day I went in. That’s how messed up I was.”

Chrisean Rock stood firm against Blueface’s recent claims that the son they share isn’t his. On Friday (Mar.6), the Baddies star hopped on her Instagram Story to set the record straight.” Let me clear something up,” she began in the lengthy post.” No one is denying anyone access out of spite. As a mother, my responsibility is to protect my child.” Earlier that day, Blueface had jumped on X (formerly Twitter) to deny —this being the second time—that he is not the father of their child. He claims that the biological father is a man named “Ronnie.” While it can’t be for certain, the rapper could be referring to Karon “Ronny Doe,” Chrisean’s ex-boyfriend, who died in 2025. “Jr is not my biological son,” Blueface wrote. “RIP to his father, Ronnie. I can no longer continue the plot, it doesn’t feel right as a present father in all my kids life to be discredited as a absence father to a child that is not biologically mine.” View this post on Instagram “I’m not interested in going back and forth online,” Chrisean Says Surprisingly, this supposed confession wasn’t the straw that broke the camel’s back. According to Chrisean, during a streaming session with PlaqueBoyMax, Blueface “disrespected” their son, Chrisean Jesus Porter, and she doesn’t want to “normalize” that behavior. “You called both of us dumb…then later made a statement about his hair,” she continued. Chrisean says this is why she chose to distance herself and her son from the rapper. In her opinion, Blueface’s outlandish falsehoods are nothing but ploys to “provoke a response” from her. “I’m not interested in going back and forth online. My focus is [on] raising my son in peace, love, and protection. That will always come first.” In other news, Chrisean’s previously reported boxing debut has found an opponent and fight date, according to TMZ. Rock will face professional wrestler Zenith Zion on April 25 in a three-round bout at Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino in Chester, Pennsylvania. The event will also stream on Triller pay-per-view, placing Rock’s first sanctioned fight on a national stage.

The startling N-word incident that happened at the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards continues to send ripples throughout the entertainment industry. For Sinners actress, Wunmi Mosaku—who snagged the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress—the moment “tainted” her win and “kept [her] awake at night.” While attending the Actor Awards (formerly the Screen Actors Guild Awards), the actress spoke with Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, saying it was “incredibly painful” to have her celebration overshadowed by the incident. During the ceremony, Tourette syndrome activist John Davidson yelled several slurs throughout the night, including the N-word, while Mosaku’s co-stars Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo were presenting an award. It took nearly a day for the BBC to remove the audio from the broadcast on its iPlayer. Davidson, who attended the ceremony in support of I Swear, a film based on his life, was reportedly “distraught” and was told any swearing would be immediately edited out of the broadcast. “I can’t understand it. I can’t understand it, and I’m not sure I can forgive it,” Mosaku Says Mosaku tells the outlet she has no hard feelings toward Davidson and appears to place the responsibility on the BBC and the BAFTAs. “He has a condition. I feel like Bafta has a lot of lessons to learn, but … it felt exploitative and performative to have someone there without the full protection of everyone, including him, and anyone in that audience.” She added: “Then the BBC is a whole other thing … That’s the bit that really kind of kept me awake at night and brought tears to my eyes. I was like, you really chose to keep that in…I can’t understand it…I can’t understand it, and I’m not sure I can forgive it.” Since the incident, the BBC has issued two apologies. Reportedly, Chief Content Officer Kate Phillips told staff she was “so sorry that a racial slur was not edited out of our broadcast.” Phillips noted that an investigation had been launched to discover what led to the shocking moment.

After rupturing his right Achilles tendon less than a year ago, Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum is set to make his season debut. According to ESPN, Tatum will officially be listed in the starting lineup ahead of the Celtics for the first time this season as the Celtics take on the Dallas Mavericks. When Tatum suffered the injury, he was able to get surgery the next day in New York City, which put him ahead of schedule. “There’s pretty strong data that if you do [Achilles surgery] within 24 hours [of injury], patients have better outcomes,” Tatum’s surgeon, Dr. Martin O’Malley, said in Tatum’s docuseries, “The Quiet Work.” Elsewhere in the series, Tatum spoke candidly about the emotional devastation of the injury and how challenging going to rehab six days a week.  “I was shocked, and I was scared. It just felt like everything just kinda flashed before my eyes,” Tatum said. “Everything that I did in my career, and for that moment, it felt like it came to an end. It was heartbreaking. I just couldn’t help but think, ‘Am I ever gonna play again?’ To be honest, at that point, I ain’t had no hope.” “I always was optimistic, I always felt like I could overcome anything, but this was different,” he added in a later episode.  Coach Joe Mazzulla said that he always expected Tatum to return. “We always knew he was coming back this year,” Mazzulla said Friday. “I think I knew that when he decided to have surgery within 16 hours … whatever the case was.” “I mean, it wasn’t a thousand percent sure,” Mazzulla added, “but I knew it was going to do everything possible to be in position to make a decision to come back.” TATUM REMAINS ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS IN THE LEAGUE After being drafted third overall in the 2017 NBA Draft, Tatum has become one of the premier faces of the NBA. He was named to five All-NBA teams (four of which are First Team) and eight All-Star squads.  Tatum has won two Olympic Gold Medals (Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024) and was the inaugural winner of the Larry Bird Eastern Conference Finals MVP in 2022.

Ari Lennox is revisiting the period surrounding her departure from Dreamville with a clearer sense of perspective. In a recent interview, the singer spoke candidly about the frustration she felt at the time and the way it spilled into public view. Looking back, she said the tension was less about personal conflict and more about miscommunication during the rollout of her single “Smoke.” With distance from the moment, Lennox now says she regrets how she expressed those concerns. She was especially careful to separate the situation from her relationship with J. Cole, the label’s founder. Lennox described his early support as a turning point in her career, one that introduced her to audiences she might not have reached otherwise. In her view, that endorsement remains one of the most meaningful boosts she has received as an artist. “It was just a really emotional time for me. I regret it. Honestly,” Lennox said, reflecting on the public criticism she shared at the time. “I feel like I should’ve never taken it to the Internet. I do want to apologize to J. Cole, I sent him a message on Instagram [and] a voice note. I’m a little afraid to give him a call, but I do apologize… But it was never Cole. Cole was never the issue. I think it just was literally a marketing thing, but it is what it is.” Ari Lennox Reflects on J. Cole and a Hard Lesson Learned She also recalled a moment that underscored the personal respect she continues to hold for him. During a performance overseas, Cole unexpectedly appeared while she was on stage performing one of their best-known songs. “This man flew all the way to London for me,” she said. “This man surprised me as I’m performing ‘Shea Butter Baby.’ And I cried like a baby, I sounded like a walrus. I could not get the words out ’cause I was so shocked. That’s how loving and selfless he is. So Cole himself, I will always care and respect him.” Lennox previously criticized the promotion surrounding “Smoke,” comments that circulated widely online at the time. Cole did not publicly respond, and reports surrounding her eventual exit suggested there was no lasting hostility between them. In hindsight, Lennox said she wishes she had approached the situation differently. A private conversation, she believes now, would have been more productive than airing her frustration online. The experience, she added, offered a difficult but valuable lesson about communication and timing within the music industry.

The complicated relationship between Drake and Rick Ross resurfaced again this week, this time through a concert clip that circulated widely online. The two rappers once built a long list of collaborations together, but their dynamic changed during the wave of rap feuds that dominated much of 2024. Even so, their shared catalog continues to appear in public moments, sometimes drawing attention back to the unresolved tension between them. In the video, Ross pauses during a live performance to address the audience before letting one of their best-known records take over the room. “We gon’ let the n*a Drake sing a little,” he says, stepping aside as the chorus of “Aston Martin Music” begins to play. The moment, lighthearted on its surface, quickly found its way onto social media. When the clip was reposted online with the caption “Rick Ross’ biggest song has his enemy on it,” Drake appeared to respond with a series of crying-laughing emojis in the comments. The brief reaction did little to clarify where the two artists stand, but it served as another reminder that their history is difficult to separate from their present rivalry.

Ross and Drake collaborated on several high-profile songs throughout the 2010s, making their partnership one of the more recognizable pairings in mainstream hip-hop during that period. Because those records remain popular, moments like this one continue to blur the line between past collaboration and current friction. The tension between the two artists became public during the larger chain of rap disputes that unfolded in 2024. Around that time, Kendrick Lamar’s verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That” set off a series of responses across the genre. Ross later joined the criticism of Drake, raising accusations about industry conflicts and personal matters. Drake responded with his own lyrics directed at multiple rivals, including Ross, weaving those remarks into a broader set of diss records. The exchange became part of a larger narrative that drew in several prominent figures in rap. Still, Ross has suggested that the disagreement may not be as severe as it appears from the outside. Speaking last year with Bootleg Kev, he downplayed the depth of the conflict. “Real n*as stay real,” he said. “Was it something really deep? Nah.” He also hinted that reconciliation might not be impossible. “You never know,” Ross added with a laugh. “Send me a white Belaire and I’ll take a picture with you.”

North West, the eldest daughter of Kanye West, has begun sharing more glimpses of her own musical experiments. During a recent livestream from a recording studio, she played an unreleased track that immediately caught the attention of fans online. The beat drew from a recognizable source: a sample of Kanye West’s song “Coldest Winter.” The original track appeared on 808s & Heartbreak, West’s 2008 album known for its stark emotional tone and minimalist production. Written in the wake of his mother Donda’s death, “Coldest Winter” remains one of the project’s most reflective moments. In North’s preview, fragments of that soundscape — including vocals and synthesizer textures — were woven into a heavier, more contemporary beat. The reinterpretation reshapes the song’s atmosphere. The preview suggests deeper bass and sharper percussion, including hardstyle-influenced drum patterns that give the track a darker edge. While the structure echoes West’s original composition, the overall tone feels distinctly modern, suggesting a young artist experimenting with familiar material in her own way. North West previews a beat that samples her father’s song “Coldest Winter” pic.twitter.com/NIL0SNb3Q5 — Kurrco (@Kurrco) March 6, 2026 North West Continues Her Creative Run with Kanye North’s appearance in the studio continues a pattern of occasional collaborations with her father. She previously appeared on songs connected to West’s VULTURES project with Ty Dolla $ign, including the track “TALKING.” She also contributed to “BOMB,” which featured her younger sister Chicago. Another collaboration followed with “LONELY ROADS,” a track that included King Combs and JAAS. Beyond those appearances, North has occasionally shared snippets of music online, including a version of her song “PIERCING ON MY HAND” that West later reworked. The exchanges suggest an informal creative dialogue between them rather than a traditional mentor-student relationship. The new preview surfaced as attention builds around West’s forthcoming album, BULLY. Rumors about the project’s timeline have circulated for months, though no confirmed release date has been announced. Whether North’s sample-driven track appears on a future release — her own or her father’s — remains unclear. For now, the moment offered a small glimpse into how musical influence travels within the West family. North appears to be experimenting with the sounds she grew up hearing, testing how they might evolve in a new generation.
