#RHOA: Sanya Richards-Ross Is Pregnant! The “RHOA ”Star Expecting Baby No. 3 with Husband Aaron Ross
Aaron Ross and Sanya Richards-Ross. Sanya Richards-Ross is going to be a mom again!
On Sunday, Feb. 23, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 39, and her husband Aaron Ross, 42, are expecting their third baby together, announcing the exciting news in a joint post on Instagram. Richards-Ross shared photos of her in a gold and black dress with a sheer opening to show off her growing baby bump. Her husband was dressed in an all-black suit with an ocelot stole on his shoulder.
The happy couple was celebrating the reality television star's upcoming 40th birthday, dressed in Coming to America-themed outfits, as she posed with a bright smile holding her belly. In one photo, the Richards-Ross is sitting on her husband's lap, as he holds onto her growing belly. In another, she's smiling brightly, as she holds up three fingers, signifying she's having her third child.
"40 + 1 😳🤰🏾💙💕 I knew this birthday would be special but this was A LOT more than I could have imagined," she wrote in her Instagram caption. "On this birthday and my 15 YEAR ANNIVERSARY… @rossboy31 and I will be adding one more little prince or princess to our crew. 💙💕"
"Im about to me a Mommi of THREEEEEE AHHHHHHH!!!!" she added.
The pregnant reality TV star shares two other sons, Asani, 14 months, and Aaron, 7, with her husband. She spoke with PEOPLE exclusively in July 2024 about her son Asani's new nursery, which was designed by Vanessa Antonelli. Richards-Ross also had the bedroom of her son Aaron, redone in tandem with her baby boys.
"It's impossible to pick because it's everything in the room that makes it so special," Richards-Ross said when asked about her favorite part of Asani's nursery. "Asani is such a calm baby with bright beautiful eyes and already very curious eyes so I wanted his room to be a reflection of him."
"Interesting wallpaper that would spark his curiosity and calm, subtle colors like his personality," she continued. "I think we nailed it!"
Richards-Ross has been very vocal about her past struggles with pregnancy losses. The soon-to-be-mother of three shared some raw moments from her heartbreaking pregnancy loss before welcoming her son Asani, during a 2023 episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
"Everything was fine at my five-week checkup, but when I back to Dr. Jackie for my seven-week checkup, she told me that the baby wasn’t growing and it looked like it was no longer a viable pregnancy," she explained in a confessional.
Explaining that she planned a dilation and curettage (D&C) after a weekend in New York, she explained that she ended up having "the most traumatic miscarriage."
"I was rushed off in an ambulance to the hospital. I lost so much blood that I had to get a blood transfusion," she tearfully revealed. "Especially not having Ross there, being by myself, it was really, really hard."

#MusicNews: Melanie Fiona Announces ‘Say Yes Tour’ Dates
Another R&B tour will be making waves this year. Grammy-winning singer Melanie Fiona has unveiled the dates for her headlining Say Yes Tour.
The 15-date North American tour begins April 27 in Philadelphia at the Theatre of Living Arts. From there, Fiona will visit Washington, D.C., Atlanta, New York, Toronto, Houston and more. The spring tour concludes June 1 at El Rey Theater in Los Angeles.
Tickets for Fiona’s Say Yes Tour go on sale Friday (Feb. 28) at 10 a.m. EST.
Before Fiona heads on tour, she will release her long-awaited EP Say Yes on April 4. The mini project will include the previous singles “Say Yes,” “I Choose You” and “Mona Lisa Smile.”
Regarding “Mona Lisa Smile,” Fiona explained, “This song is an homage to all the brave, broken, beautiful works of art—the women, the wives, the mothers—truly, anyone holding it together despite wanting to fall apart. The ‘Mona Lisa Smile’ is the armor we all wear to protect our pain.”
Fiona made her musical return in October 2024 with the project’s title track, which she co-wrote with SiR, and its B-side (“I Choose You”). “‘Say Yes’ was always this song I wanted to lead with after not putting out music for so long because I think that it’s art; it’s bigger than music,” Fiona told Rated R&B.
“I’m proud of this song because I think it’s one of one in how the landscape of music is. I wanted to give something that would reflect what I pride myself on, which is the musicality of not being afraid of live music, live singing, and a jam session.”
The EP Say Yes will mark Fiona’s first project since she released her Grammy-nominated sophomore album, The MF Life, in 2012. “It’s a fun project. I don’t think it would feel heavy to people, no matter what the context is. Everything was created with a lot of joy,” Fiona explained to Rated R&B.
She added, “I think people are going to hear, I want to say, like a playful side of me. There’s a little bit of rap on there. There’s vibration and sonics that I don’t think people have heard from me, collaborating with people I have dreamed of working with for my whole career. These are things that I’m very excited about and, again, not overthinking it.”
In January, Fiona was spotted in the studio with Eric Benét. The two were potentially working on material that will appear on Benét’s album version of his Duets EP, released in 2024. “Man Listen … wait til y’all hear how @melaniefiona was KILLIN’ in that booth last night!! Thank you for blessing us,” Benét wrote on Instagram.

#HipHopNews: Drake Abruptly Postpones Remaining Australia & New Zealand Tour Dates
Drake has postponed the remaining dates on his Australia and New Zealand tour.
The surprise cancelation follows rumors that the tour was set to be cut short after tickets were removed from sale for the remaining shows.
Drake’s representatives then confirmed that the concerts are indeed no longer going ahead, though they are working on rescheduling.
“We are actively working on rescheduling these dates along with adding some additional shows,” his team told Rolling Stone. “All tickets for the affected shows will remain valid for the new dates. Refunds will be available for those who prefer, but please note that as these shows are sold out, any refunded tickets will be released for sale.”
Drizzy’s Anita Max Win Tour was originally scheduled for 14 shows between early February and mid March, but the rapper only performed 10 concerts down under, leaving thousands of fans disappointed.
Dates in Brisbane, Sydney and Auckland are due to be rescheduled.
Drake himself has not yet commented on the tour’s premature end.
The Toronto native has garnered headlines throughout his overseas tour thanks to his financial generosity towards fans.
At his final show in Brisbane, he offered to cover the costs of cancer treatment for one attendee’s mother.
After noticing someone in the crowd holding up a sign that read “Mums Cancer Treatment,” Drake said: “I can’t ignore this right here. Everybody has been pointing to this man all night… This is important.”

Karen Huger, ‘RHOP’ Star, Sentenced To Mandatory 1 Year In Prison Following DUI Charge
Karen Huger returned to a Montgomery County Circuit Court on Wednesday (Feb. 26) for sentencing following her DUI guilty verdict.
The 61-year-old Real Housewives of Potomac star was sentenced to two years in prison (with one year suspended) and will also serve five years of probation. Reportedly, she has 30 days from sentencing to appeal the judge’s decision and 90 days to request reconsideration of the order.
As she was taken into custody, Huger turned to her husband Ray Huger and reassured him, “You will be alright” and “God’s got you,” according to a source who spoke with PEOPLE.
Huger’s legal troubles began in March 2024 when she was arrested following a single-vehicle crash just three miles from her home. Footage from the scene later surfaced, showing a visibly intoxicated Huger stumbling and slurring her words as she spoke to officers. In the now-infamous clip, the self-proclaimed “Grand Dame” mentioned everyone from Real Housewives executive producer Andy Cohen to Abraham Lincoln while admitting she had consumed “a couple of beers.”
The charges against Huger included DUI and DWI, as well as reckless and negligent driving, failure to control vehicle speed, and driving with a suspended registration. Additionally, she faced a charge for failing to notify the administration of a change of address within 30 days.
At the time of her verdict, Huger’s attorney, A. Scott Bolden, expressed disappointment with the outcome, stating, “Although we are disappointed in the jury’s verdict, we of course respect their decision and appreciate their time hearing our case. We continue to reserve Mrs. Huger’s right to an appeal and intend to fully pursue justice on her behalf. We appreciate your support and prayers for Mrs. Huger and her family at this time.”
Earlier this year, Huger took steps toward recovery by entering a private treatment facility in Florida. She later explained that her goal was to “get to the bottom” of mixing antidepressants with alcohol. The decision led to a delay in her sentencing and forced her to miss the RHOP season 9 reunion—though she did appear in two pre-recorded video messages.
In the videos, Huger addressed speculation about her drinking habits. “No, I’m not an alcoholic, let’s be clear,” she insisted, before advising viewers, “Do as I say, not as I do.” Reflecting on the moment her verdict was read, she admitted, “My heart dropped.” She also acknowledged the gravity of the situation, stating, “This is very frightening, but I accept full responsibility for everything that went on with my car accident.”
Huger admitted that her primary concern was her family. “I don’t care about me right now. I care about my children, I care about my family. They are so hurt,” she said. The beauty entrepreneur then took a moment to thank some of her past and present castmates for their support, including Andy Cohen, whom she personally acknowledged. “Your notes meant the world to me. They were always on time.”
Concluding her video, she stated that while she has long been known as the “Grand Dame,” she now intends to be her true self. “I’m coming back as Karen Huger only, because Karen is enough,” she declared.
Huger’s new attorney, David Martella, later spoke to The Washington Post about how deeply the experience has affected her, calling the trial “a wake-up call.” He described her as being “shocked with embarrassment” and confirmed that since completing her 28-day treatment program, she has been actively involved in Alcoholics Anonymous.
However, court filings reportedly indicate that Huger has a history of alcohol-related traffic incidents. Prosecutor Jordan Kramer pointed out that between 2006 and 2011, Huger had been involved in three prior cases, including one conviction for driving while impaired and another for driving under the influence.

Doechii Channels Naomi Campbell At Dsquared2’s Fall 2025 Milan Fashion Show
Doechii‘s Milan Fashion Week brought “Nissan Altima” to the runway in epic fashion. The Grammy-winning rapper opened Dsquared2‘s fall 2025 ready-to-wear fashion show on Tuesday (Feb. 25) channeling supermodel Naomi Campbell. According to Footwear News, the Florida native recreated Campbell’s iconic appearance in Dsquared2’s fall 2003 show where she ran down a red carpet runway leading to an airplane.
Campbell later joined the fashion show which celebrated the brand’s 30th anniversary. Rapper NLE Choppa also walked the runway.
Later in the show, the Swamp Princess was joined by rapper JT to perform their “Alter Ego” collaboration, with Doechii wearing the DSquared2 “Skate Moss” boots.
Per L’Officiel, the runway show was officially entitled “Obsessed2,” and took place at the Dsquared2 Bros Co., a venue designed to resemble a lively nightclub. The outlet describes the collection from Dsquared2 designers Dean and Dan Caten as featuring “worn denim, hypersexual silhouettes, leather, bold prints, and a sharp energy that challenges conformism.”

Snoop Dogg Reacts To Suge Knight’s Claim He’s In Cahoots With 2Pac Murder Suspect
Snoop Dogg has scoffed at Suge Knight‘s “lies” regarding his alleged attempt to assist one of the suspects in the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur.
The Death Row Records cofounder recently accused Snoop of secretly making moves to faciliate the release of Duane “Keefe D” Davis on bail as he awaits trial for his alleged involvement in the shooting that took Pac’s life.

However, Tha Doggfather quickly responded to Knight’s claim, accusing his former CEO of being obsessed with him and attributing his seeming smear campaign to jealousy over Snoop now being the owner of Death Row.
“This ni**a won’t stop talking about me,” Snoop wrote in the comments of a social media post sharing Knight’s allegation.
“Mad cuz I own Death Row,” he continued, adding that he’s aware of Knight’s alleged tactics. “I realize your real lies,” the Doggystyle creator concluded, seemingly refuting Knight’s claims regarding his conduct and character.
In an interview with The Art of Dialogue, Knight alleged that Snoop and others were working towards freeing Davis out of fear of potentially being implicated in events surrounding Shakur’s murder.

The rap mogul, who is currently serving a 28-year prison sentence for voluntary manslaughter, also claimed that Ray J once told him about Snoop boasting about contributing money towards an alleged hit on Shakur.
Snoop Dogg and Suge Knight’s beef extends back to the late ’90s. Snoop left Death Row Records after Pac’s murder and went on to align himself with Sean “Diddy” Combs and other rivals of Pac and Death Row.

The seeming show of disloyalty resulted in tension between the pair, which apparently remains stronger than ever.

The suspect, who is being housed at Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas, has also been charged with battery following a physical altercation with another inmate.
A package to cover for Davis’ $750,000 bail was denied due to questions surrounding the origin and source of the funds.

Ms. Lauryn Hill Honors Roberta Flack’s “Delicate Power” In Touching Tribute
Ms. Lauryn Hill paid tribute to Roberta Flack on social media, sharing with her audience the influence the late singer had on her artistry. In her carousel upload to Instagram on Monday night (Feb. 24), the 49-year-old shared multiple images of Flack and her albums, and penned a lengthy caption honoring her “delicate power.”
“Whitney Houston once said to me that Roberta Flack’s voice was one of the purest voices she’d ever heard. I grew up scouring the records my Parents collected,” began the caption. “Mrs. Flack was one of their favorites and quite instantly became one of mine as soon as I was exposed to her. She looked cool and intelligent, gentle and yet militant.

She continued, “Flack was an artist, a singer-songwriter, a pianist and composer who moved me and showed me through her own creative choices and standards what else was possible within the idiom of Soul. ‘Killing Me Softly’, a song Mrs. Flack didn’t write, but made hugely popular became the song that catapulted myself and the Fugees into household phenomena.
The heartwarming post closed, “We wanted to honor the beauty and brilliance of this song and her performance of it to our generation. I will forever be grateful for the sensitivity and delicate power of her Love and Artistry. Rest in Grace Beloved One.”
Other dedications to Flack poured in on social media from Rev. Al Sharpton, Kelly Rowland, Tyler, the Creator, and Jennifer Hudson according to Rolling Stone.
Roberta Flack passed away on Monday at the age of 88, as confirmed by her managers, Suzanne Koga and Mikel Gilmore in a joint statement detailing, “She died peacefully, surrounded by her family.” In November 2022, it was revealed the lauded singer was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a condition commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Ms. Lauryn Hill paid tribute to Roberta Flack on social media, sharing with her audience the influence the late singer had on her artistry. In her carousel upload to Instagram on Monday night (Feb. 24), the 49-year-old shared multiple images of Flack and her albums, and penned a lengthy caption honoring her “delicate power.”
“Whitney Houston once said to me that Roberta Flack’s voice was one of the purest voices she’d ever heard. I grew up scouring the records my Parents collected,” began the caption. “Mrs. Flack was one of their favorites and quite instantly became one of mine as soon as I was exposed to her. She looked cool and intelligent, gentle and yet militant. The songs she recorded from ‘Compared To What’ to ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ to her version of ‘Ballad Of The Sad Young Men’ fascinated me with their beauty and sophistication.”

WNBA icon Diana Taurasi Is Retiring
Diana Taurasi, considered by many to be the greatest basketball player of all time in both college and the pros, has officially announced her retirement from the WNBA.
Diana Lorena Taurasi, 42, is the all-time leading career scorer in the WNBA and was the single-season scoring record-holder (until the latter was broken by A’ja Wilson). Taurasi told Time magazine that she is stepping away from the game after 20 years.
Diana Taurasi makes the retirement official
The former Connecticut Huskies icon told reporter Sean Gregory on Feb. 25 that she is contented and “full.” She believes she has emptied the tank on an illustrious career that some say belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of all-time greats.
“Mentally and physically, I’m just full. That’s probably the best way I can describe it. I’m full and I’m happy,” Taurasi told TIME.
The woman who was specifically called the “White Mamba” by the late legendary Kobe Bryant, won three national championships at UConn, three WNBA titles, five-time scoring champ, had 14 All-Star appearances, a league MVP, Finals MVP in 2009 and 2014, and an assist title.
The woman born in Glendale, Calif., about 10 miles north of Los Angeles, is also the only player in league history to score more than 8K points in a career, and she leaves the game at an astounding 10,646.
The sports world pays tribute to Diana Taurasi
Accolades and bittersweet feelings came pouring in from around the sports world on Tuesday.
“I have never, ever heard her say a negative word about a teammate, at UConn, the Olympic team, Phoenix,” UConn coach Geno Auriemma said, according to ESPN. “But I could say to her, ‘Dee, that was the worst god-damned pass I’ve ever seen in my life.’ If I said that to someone else, they might say, ‘Why are you disrespecting me?’ With her, she never took it personally. She already knew it was a bad pass and she needed to make it better. She wanted to be coached like that.”
Taurasi’s UConn and Olympic teammate Sue Bird said “She has a way of making people feel connected to her, but also like the best version of themselves.”
LeBron James, a longtime supporter of the WNBA, had this to say:
“Just seeing her transcend the game, watching little girls want to play like her, her style, her flair, her bravado, you know her swagger, it’s been an unbelievable treat,” James said about Taurasi, according to ESPN. “She’s one of the all-time greats. It’s been an honor. All love.”
The WNBA dropped a rousing tribute to the White Mamba:
Phoenix Mercury had a powerful tribute, saying, “She didn’t just wear the jersey – she built our franchise. She played the game, then changed it forever.”
The NBA added, “After 20 years of playing in the WNBA, Diana Taurasi is officially retiring 🧡,” it said on its X platform. “Thank you Diana for changing the game forever, all of the accolades could never amount to the type of person and edge you embodied when you stepped out there on the court.”

Tracee Ellis Ross’ PATTERN Beauty Introduces Palo Santo-Infused Shampoo And Curl Gel
PATTERN Beauty has excitedly announced that its expanding its fan-favorite Palo Santo Ensemble with two highly anticipated additions: Hydration Shampoo and Curl Gel.
The new products are infused with the brand’s signature Palo Santo scent, which gives off “notes of mint and citrus,” and a subtle woody fragrance. The launch now completes the luxurious haircare experience which already includes: Leave-in Conditioner, Curl Mousse, Medium Conditioner, and Styling Cream.
According to the beauty powerhouse, the Palo Santo Hydration Shampoo “gently cleanses and removes buildup while maintaining essential moisture.” It’s also essentially free of harsh surfactants, making it suitable for all curl types. The product has been clinically proven to boost hydration by up to 30 percent, ensuring curls stay nourished and refreshed with every wash. For styling, the Palo Santo Curl Gel “delivers a touchable, medium hold with zero crunch or flakes” made with the intent to deliver “four-times more curl definition, curl retention, and six-times more shine.”
The award-winning beauty line already offers an array of hair care products for kinkier textures, and even heating tools that include the 3-in-1 Pattern Interchangeable Curling Iron, Hair Steamer, and Blow Dryer, all available in the warm color of “caramella.”
Speaking with VIBE last year, the Girlfriends star explained the motivation behind creating her PATTERN Beauty line, which stemmed from heat damage.
“When Girlfriends finished, I looked in the mirror and I was like, ‘I feel like Joan, and I want to look like Tracee,” she recalled after getting her hair styled years ago. “I decided to go to a stylist that I had worked with and have her straighten my hair and she used a stove iron. I asked her, ‘Will my hair curl back up?’ She said yes, but my instinct was ‘no.’ My hair looked great, it was bone straight. But my hair did not curl back up and I lost my natural curl pattern.”
“And so, from the beginning of launching PATTERN, I have wanted to reintroduce heat in a way that our customer could have access to possibilities, explore new styles, cut style time down, and still keep the health of their hair up to par,” Ross added.
The 52-year-old also shared why she chose the warm yellow-ish color as part of her brand’s identity.
“When we launched the blow-dryer, my dream was to create heat tools that looked beautiful in your bathroom and looked like something I had never seen,” she said. “Something that was aspirational and yet accessible, something that was beautiful and matched who we are as people — so, we came up with the ‘caramella’ color and extended that into the curling iron tools.”
Consumers can now shop the new Palo Santo products on PATTERN’s official website and Sephora.

Jalen Hurts is the people’s MVP as he accepts Philadelphia's Citizen of the Year Award
Hearing Rich Homie Quan’s “Walk Thru” cued up anytime Jalen Hurts enters a room would make perfect sense, especially now seeing as though two weeks after shutting down naysayers with a Super Bowl LIX victory, the man has again proven that he is an MVP on and off the field.
The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback was presented with the Citizen of the Year Award on Tuesday (Feb. 25) at the second annual gala honoring him and nine others for making a positive and lasting impact on the city. The NFL superstar launched the Jalen Hurts Foundation last summer, though his history of philanthropy predates its inception. Just last year, the organization donated $200,000 to schools across the city, providing 300 air conditioners to ensure students were able to learn comfortably inside of the classroom. The humble leader also has a proven track record of showing up to encourage the youth and participation in events that provide resources to the pupils throughout his five years in the league.
It is reasons like those that Gov. Josh Shapiro heralded Hurts and his fiancée, Bry Burrows, for using “their celebrity in this community to do more than just deliver a Super Bowl championship for us. They understand that kids can’t learn when they’re sweating, and so they decided to install thousands of air conditioners in our Philadelphia public schools. They understand that we need to make sure more girls play sports and have everything they need, from their equipment to the sports bras that they donated.”
The elected official further praised the duo for understanding “the importance of taking young athletes, young individuals in our communities, and giving them strong mentors so they continue to walk a path that is true and just.” When the football standout took to the podium, his message was simple and really no different than the earnest words he has echoed in interviews when asked about his mission. He said, “What I strive to do is serve, mentor, progress, [and] give people opportunities that they don’t even know that they have.” The elite athlete also charged those in the room to “push that person next to you to continue, continue to have that drive, continue to give great effort, and to bring someone with you.”
Earlier this month, on Feb. 9, Hurts played a crucial role in leading the Eagles to a 22-40 win against two-time Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. His MVP performance on the gridiron included two touchdowns, running 72 yards, and completing 17 of an attempted 22 passes in the matchup. Off the field, the University of Oklahoma alum has generated just as much praise for the all-women management team that is helping to make him a winner on all fronts.

Gabourey Sidibe's Husband Shares New Photos of Wife with Their Twins Ahead of Babies' First Birthday: 'Favorite People'
Gabourey Sidibe and her husband are gearing up to celebrate an extra special day. On Tuesday, Feb. 25, the actress' husband Brandon Frankel shared a series of photos on his Instagram as he prepared to celebrate the couple's baby twins Maya and Cooper's first birthday. In the sweet new photos, Sidibe can be seen cuddling with their babies, smiling as Frankel snapped her photo.
"I can’t believe the twins are creeping up on a YEAR OLD! People kept telling us 'the days are long, but the years are short' and they nailed it!" Frankel wrote in his caption. "I find myself looking back at pictures and videos of them all the time, and they were SO LITTLE and are now SO BIG!!"
"I think about the three of you from the second I wake up til I go to bed. And often throughout my dreams," he continued. "You are my favorite people on the entire planet- and there’s over 8 billion of those. Thank you for filling my heart with so much joy. I love you til the end of time ❤️."
In December, Sidibe and Frankel got real about how challenging parenting twins can be as they joked about giving each other the day off.
Frankel shared a photo on his Instagram Stories of Cooper and Maya, who played with their toys as their proud dad snapped a photo of them. Frankel wrote over the photo, "I don't wanna brag or anything, but I gave @gabbysidibe a day to do anything she wanted, and I'm killing the solo Dad thing ❤️."
Sidibe reshared the photo on her own Instagram Stories, teasing her husband as she wrote, "This is most def bragging."
Earlier that month, Sidibe and Frankel celebrated their family's first Christmas together, with Sidibe posting an adorable video montage with her husband and their twins. In the sweet clips, the "Sidibabies" can be seen playing with their new toys — and the boxes they came in — while matching with their parents in blue tie-dye pajamas.
"First Frankel Family Christmas for The SidiBabies was a success!" the proud mom wrote in her caption. "They really loved the boxes!"
In the comments, the proud dad shared his excitement, writing, "We did it! We won the parent “Super Bowl”! 😍🥹🤝❤️."
Frankel also shared a message on Instagram alongside some funny photos of the twins jumping on Sidibe. "HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! We’re so thankful to have Mama back home from filming in time to celebrate as a family! I can’t tell you how badly we all missed @gabbysidibe - you’re not allowed to leave us for that long ever again," he wrote.

Will Smith Has Flirty Moment With Singer India Martínez
Will Smith getting jiggy with it onstage has left fans confused. The 56-year-old recently had a steamy moment with singer India Martínez while performing their song “First Love,” and viewers had many thoughts—especially concerning his estranged wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
In the now-viral moment, while performing the song in Miami, Will and India seem to lean in for a kiss before India brushes him off. The Spaniard then turns back, grabbing Will’s face as the pair get close enough to give the impression of an actual kiss.
The moment—whether or not the pair actually locked lips—caused a stir in the comment section of India’s Feb. 24 post, with one user suggesting the choreography was inappropriate, “even if it is ‘entertainment.’”
“I was waiting for Jada to come out from left stage and smack the sh!t outta her for kissing her man,” one user wrote, while another asked in Spanish, “What happened to Jada?
There were others, however, who claimed the video never actually shows the pair touching lips.
As one user wrote, “You can tell the attempt was a joke. They never actually kissed. The 2nd attempt when she came back still no kiss he leaned his forehead down as to get their lips further apart and backed away.”
India and Will, meanwhile, have each shared clips from the performance, though neither has addressed any of the comments questioning the choreography.
For her part, India has posted multiple times about the performance, including a carousel featuring a picture of her hugging Will, her legs wrapped around the Men in Black star. She captioned a second post of the performance, in Spanish, “Another perspective, same passion.”
Will, meanwhile, wrote of the performance on his own social media, “First time performing First Love con @india_martinez_oficial y @marcin.music!! Fantástico.”
Will and India’s steamy exchange comes after a period of added scrutiny over Jada and Will’s marriage. Namely over the Girls Trip star admitting in October 2023 she and Will—who share kids Jaden Smith, 26, and Willow Smith, 24—had been separated since 2016.
At the time, Jada told NBC News of why they hadn’t divorced, "I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce, we will work through whatever. I just haven't been able to break that promise."
The former Red Table Talk host also shared insight into what led to the split.
“Why it fractured, that's a lot of things,” the actress said of her marriage on Today. “I think by the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying. I think we were both stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be.”
Since then, the pair’s separation has appeared to be amicable, with joint red carpet appearances and a dinner out together in November 2024.

‘The Cussing Pastor’ Thaddeus Matthews Passes Away at 67
*Pastor Thaddeus Matthews, famously known as “the Cussing Pastor” passed away at 67 on Monday. His estranged wife, Melanie Matthews, announced his death on Facebook.
“No more sickness and no more worries. You said you were tired and wanted to rest. On today at 2:25pm, you transitioned peacefully surrounded by family and friends!” the statement read, Soap Central reports. “Facebook family and friends, we want to thank those of you who have been praying for him and us during these trying times. We ask that you continue to keep us in your prayers as we process our loss. Peace and blessings to all!”
The controversial radio host was a social media sensation due to his explicit sermons. Matthews, leader of the Naked Truth Liberation & Empowerment Ministries, had reportedly been dealing with an undisclosed illness in recent months. Throughout his career, he faced multiple controversies, including a 2012 arrest related to posting a video of child pornography online, though he was later released on bond.
“The charges are totally ridiculous,” Matthews said. “It’s out there. I can’t deny that I put it on my Facebook page. Could I have used better judgement? Yes.”
The ‘Cussing Pastor‘ claimed the video was sent to him deliberately, so he posted it to his social media intending to lure the perpetrator
“I hope you understand the reason for the post if you don’t, you probably never need to come to this page. It was and still is my goal to find out who some have told me is a man from Memphis that is doing the most disgusting thing i have ever seen,” he wrote at the time, per Soap Central.
In 2015, the initial charges of exploiting a minor were dismissed through a plea deal. As part of the agreement, Matthews pleaded guilty to evidence tampering and was sentenced to five years of probation. Additionally, he was required to complete 40 hours of community service.
His legal issues persisted, including an arrest in 2022 for harassment and involvement in a “revenge porn” case.
More recently, Pastor Matthews sparked outrage among supporters after a clip surfaced of him kissing a plastic dildo.
In a statement, he said: “Let me deal with the obvious elephant in the room. The video that is going around super viral of me and Dell about four or five years ago. Now, be careful. I did not say male. I said Dell. What you see is what you get. I want you to please understand that it is not a male.
“No more sickness and no more worries. You said you were tired and wanted to rest. On today at 2:25pm, you transitioned peacefully surrounded by family and friends!” the statement read, Soap Central reports. “Facebook family and friends, we want to thank those of you who have been praying for him and us during these trying times. We ask that you continue to keep us in your prayers as we process our loss. Peace and blessings to all!”

Jay-Z’s Defamation Lawsuit Against Attorney Tony Buzbee Cleared for Trial
Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z is one step closer to getting his day in court against Houston attorney Tony Buzbee after a judge signaled that his defamation of character lawsuit will move forward.
Last week, Jay-Z confirmed he was proceeding with legal action against Buzbee, who named him in a lawsuit against Bad Boy Entertainment CEO Sean “Diddy” Combs. The lawsuit alleged that Jay-Z and Diddy were involved in the rape of a minor 20 years ago—a claim that was later dismissed. Jay-Z, who was never charged with any crime related to the case, is now taking legal action against Buzbee for defamation.
Judge Allows Case to Move Forward
According to Rolling Stone, a Los Angeles judge, Mark H. Epstein, stated on Tuesday that Jay-Z’s defamation claim has enough merit to proceed. The judge noted that the key issue is whether Buzbee acted recklessly and with actual malice when he named Jay-Z as a defendant in the now-dismissed lawsuit.
While Jay-Z’s defamation claim will proceed, the judge signaled he was inclined to dismiss the rapper’s related extortion claim against Buzbee. However, after a two-hour hearing, Judge Epstein withheld a final ruling, stating he needed more time to review the oral arguments presented by both sides.
What This Means for Jay-Z and the Industry
Jay-Z’s lawsuit is not just about clearing his name—it’s a significant legal battle that could set a precedent for how high-profile figures combat false accusations in public lawsuits. In an era where social media and sensationalized legal filings can quickly tarnish reputations, this case highlights attorneys’ power and responsibility when making public allegations.
With the lawsuit now heading to trial, all eyes will be on how Jay-Z’s legal team presents its
Ayo Edebiri to Write and Possibly Star in A24’s Bold New Take on “Barney”
Ayo Edebiri, star of “The Bear,” is setting her sights on bringing the beloved childhood character, Barney, to life.
The Emmy-winning actress has been tapped to pen the screenplay for A24’s live-action Barney flick. Showcasing her impecable range, Edebiri is also reportedly in talks of starring in the upcoming feature. This movie will find Edebiri aligned with Daniel Kaluuya’s 59% Productions, which is co-developing and producing with A24 and Mattel.
Many of the intricate details such as plot and casting remain under lock and key, but Mattel Films’ producer Robbie Brenner, has promised a fresh and unexpected take.
“It will surprise audiences and subvert expectations,” he declared.
While fans are just not catching wind of this project, it has been in the works for several years now. Kaluuya, who has been involved with the film since at least 2019, said, “Barney was a ubiquitous figure in many of our childhoods, then he disappeared into the shadows, left misunderstood. We’re excited to explore this compelling modern-day hero and see if his message of ‘I love you, you love me’ can stand the test of time.”
“Barney & Friends” is a childhood staple to many, debuting in 1992 and running for 14 seasons on PBS. It helped launch the careers of young stars who went on to become global sensations such as Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. This film is part of Mattel’s push into live-action adaptations, following the massive success of 2023’s “Barbie.”
