After almost thirty years of denials about his involvement in the death of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, whom he married in 1985, O.J. Simpson passed away on April 10. He died at the age of 76, following a diagnosis of prostate cancer.
In addition to having two kids with Brown, the former NFL player had three children with Marguerite Whitley, his first wife. But while his family is grieving, did you know that a few weeks prior to his death, Simpson had made an awkward joke about ‘confessing’?
During a podcast appearance earlier this year, the father of five made an astounding joke about not confessing while talking about whether or not men should open up to women.

On 2002’s “Hovi Baby,” Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter shouted out the Roc-a-Fella Records braintrust, calling it, “’The Dynasty,’ no not Ming but Shawn’s / Dame, Kareem, nigga it’s the gangsta team.” The trio of Carter, and executives Dame Dash and Kareem “Biggs” Burke are the big three behind Roc-a-Fella Records, one of rap’s most legendary movements. From Ye and rapper turned sports analyst Cam’ron to industry movers and shakers like Gee Roberson and Chaka Pilgrim, the Roc’s fingerprints are still in popular culture.

Music mogul Diddy and Usher were very close, as the Bad Boys CEO was instrumental in helping the singer’s career. But at one point, it was alleged that Usher went to Diddy for help. And Diddy refusing to help the star caused a temporary rift between the two.

Usher isn’t hurting for money nowadays. According to Investopedia, the multi-platinum artist is worth $180 million. He’s managed to maintain his longevity nicely, having earned $40 million doing shows in Las Vegas. He’s often attributed much of his success to Diddy, who helped develop Usher’s talents during his teenage years.

Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs has recently been the center of several serious and disturbing allegations, all of which the rapper has vehemently denied. Commonly known as Puff Daddy, two of the rapper’s properties were recently raided by US Homeland Security, which is investigating a string of accusations against him.

De La Soul’s surviving members, Posdnuos and Maseo, teamed with Prince Paul, who produced their debut, 3 Feet High and Rising, on Thursday to celebrate the record’s 35th anniversary on The Late Show. To mark the occasion, the trio showed how to “cook a 35-year-old dish” — the album’s Steely Dan–saturated single, “Eye Know” — as if it were a stew.
Wearing neon aprons that evoke the album’s cover art, Pos told the crowd, “We have some simple ingredients, and what we need to do is start with whistles.

Known for her appearances on the reality TV show The Real Housewives of Miami, Larsa Pippen has been in conversation about her relationship with Marcus Jordan. The two reportedly met in 2019 and appeared to confirm their romance when they were spotted kissing in 2023.
Their relationship has been a topic of discussion not only due to the 16-year age difference but also due to the complex familial ties, as Pippen’s ex-husband Scottie Pippen was a teammate of Jordan’s father in the 1990s.

However, more than a year after confirming their relationship, Pippen and Jordan chose to go their separate ways, leading Pippen to share a brief statement on her Instagram account. The post, however, did not sit well with the rapper, Mase, who openly criticized her in a recent episode of It Is What It Is.

Auditioning isn’t the easiest of tasks, and ends up going wrong quite a lot of times because of bad auditioning or simply misunderstandings, even if the one auditioning is an already star-studded actor. Something similar happened during the early career of Dakota Johnson as well, who is Hollywood’s currently ruling ‘Queen of Valentine’s Day’.

While promoting her recently released superhero movie Madame Web, which marks her official debut as a superheroine in the Sony-Marvel universe, Johnson shared this one awful audition story of hers where she claims she pretty much “ruined” the show creator’s life.

But now that it’s open season on Combs, who was hit with three lawsuits alleging rape, assault, and other mistreatment, Curry is making allegations that he left off the page.

A month before Taylor Swift takes over movie-theater screens, Taylor Swift took over the MTV Video Music Awards at Newark, New Jersey’s Prudential Center.
On Tuesday night, Swift won a whopping nine of the 11 awards for which she was nominated, tying the record for most wins in an evening, and becoming the first female artist to reach that tally. She also extended some of her own historical VMAs records, including the most all-time Video of the Year wins (now four). Swift now owns the second-most Moon Persons (fka Moonmen) ever, 23, behind only Beyoncé.
IndieWire was also in the house last night, though perhaps in a less-exclusive section than Swift. Trophies aside, and with all due respect to fellow winner Selena Gomez, Swift was first among her celebrity equals. Strategically, she was seated literal seconds before VMAs host Nicki Minaj opened the show, generating a rapturous response — especially the most enthusiastic fans on the floor.

At last year’s MTV Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift announced her Midnights album. And this year, the album helped her dominate the night with multiple wins, including her fourth for video of the year.
Swift is the only artist to win the top prize four times — this year it was for her No. 1 hit “Anti-Hero.” During the win that closed out the four-hour show Tuesday night, she shared the stage with those who worked on the music video: director of photography Rina Yang and editor Chancler Haynes.
Swift opened and closed the show with honors: She fangirled, like most of the audience, when she accepted the first award of the night from ‘N Sync, who earned a standing ovation from the crowd at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
“I am not doing well pivoting from this to this. I had your dolls. Are you doing something? What’s going to happen now?...

The 2023 MTV Video Music Awards will present the third-ever Global Icon Award to Sean “Diddy” Combs when the ceremony airs live from New Jersey’s Prudential Center on Sept. 12. The artist also joins the performance lineup as he gears up to release The Love Album: Off the Grid, his first solo album in 17 years, on Sept. 15. It will mark his first VMAs performance since 2005.
The Global Icon Award was adopted from the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2021 as the VMAs moved on from the short-lived Tricon Award, which was only ever presented to Lady Gaga.

Bad Boy has already struck deals with artists including Faith Evans, Mase, the Lox, 112, and the estate of the Notorious B.I.G. to return rights to their material, a representative confirmed to Rolling Stone. Terms of these agreements, which Combs began pursuing...

So, the wheel kind of came into that little lip and it just grabbed it, made it like pull a little. And by the time it pulled…I smacked into a pillar.

The Brooklyn rapper takes pains to assert that he’s only leveled up since. No, he doesn’t mention his breakout acting performance in the second season of Mr. Robot, or his current stints on Grown-ish and Power Book III: Raising Kanan. He also doesn’t try to replicate the success of his double-platinum hit, 2016’s melodic-rap delight “Devastated.” However, he talks a lot about making “eight figures.

Somewhere, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson will be blowing out 35 candles on a giant cake, as today is his birthday. The rapper's narrative is one of the most incredible in the history of rap music, as Fiddy overcame a broken home, life as a drug dealer, jail, label woes, all types of drama, a brutal attack that nearly killed him and the death of his mentor to become one of the most successful artists of the past decade. Since his debut Get Rich or Die Tryin' hit the streets in 2003, he has spent most of his career on top of the rap world, not only churning out commercial smashes like "Candy Shop" and "21 Questions" but also well-respected street singles and mixtapes (like 2009's much-beloved double shot of Forever King and War Angel LP).

New York — The ride to 25th Street from the G-Unit offices outside of Times Square in 50 Cent's SUV wasn't long enough — the G-Unit General needed a little more time to play his record.
Outside of his camp, nobody had heard a lick of material from his street album, War Angel LP (which became available for download Tuesday), and he was eager to preview a few tracks for MTV News. Fif sat in his seat and pressed a button. Up came a huge flat screen from behind his manager Chris Lighty, who was seated facing 50 in the four-passenger SUV.
The screen displayed the Internet, not TV. Fif is big on the Web, if you haven't noticed. He said the traffic on his Web site, ThisIs50.com, has doubled since he started responding...

Last year's MTV Video Music Awards was dominated by a spectacular stage show in which Madonna, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears cavorted and kissed. This year was all about grand entrances, as music royalty got the chance to show off their spending power by cruising up to Miami, Florida's harbor-side red carpet in a variety of impressive water craft. R&B star Usher, who picked up his first and second VMAs at the ceremony, was the first on the red carpet, stealing the show in a breathtaking silver yacht. He said after stepping on dry land, "I wanted not only the sexiest and flyest boat, but also the fastest." The singer then kicked off the live show, performing his hit "Confessions, Pt II." Rapper Ludacris followed him onto the red carpet with pal Lil Jon, telling reporters he was tempted not to stop in Miami: "We about to go to the Bahamas and just skip the VMAs." The 'king of bling' Sean 'P Diddy' Combs meanwhile shared his yacht with showbiz pals Bruce Willis, rapper Mase and Naomi Campbell. The Beastie Boys however shunned the flashy approach and arrived on the red carpet in the swamp burner they rode in their "Ch-check It Out" video.
