NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell dismissed criticism over naming Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl LX halftime performer. He called the Puerto Rican artist one of the world’s most popular entertainers and said the league expects some backlash with every selection.
Critics, especially conservative voices online, quickly labeled Bad Bunny “anti-American.” Former President Donald Trump also questioned the choice, saying he didn’t know who the singer was and called the decision “absolutely ridiculous.”
Bad Bunny, 31, has won three Grammys and built a global fanbase through music, WWE appearances, and roles in films like “Happy Gilmore 2.” The Super Bowl will take place on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
A close associate of Diddy, Charlucci Finney, said the rapper was nearly stabbed while sleeping at MDC Brooklyn. Finney told reporters that Diddy woke up with a weapon at his neck, just seconds from serious injury or death. It remains unclear whether guards intervened or if Diddy defended himself, but sources confirmed the incident occurred. The attack appears to have been an attempt to intimidate him in the high-security jail.
Finney noted that prison is especially dangerous for those convicted in cases tied to sex crimes. During sentencing, Diddy’s lawyer, Brian Steel, stated that a guard stopped the attacker before further harm happened. Diddy received a 50-month sentence after being convicted of violating the Mann Act, though a...

Lil Meech is taking legal steps to dispute claims made by Celina Powell about their relationship. Powell appeared on the “We In Miami” podcast and said Meech wanted to date her but feared damage to his reputation because of her public image. She also insisted he never ended things with her.
Meech’s attorney, Elysa Galloway, responded with a formal demand for a retraction. The notice, shared by the podcast, stated Powell falsely described an ongoing romantic relationship and invented past interactions that never happened. Galloway accused Powell of acting with “actual malice and reckless disregard for the truth,” saying the comments harmed Meech’s reputation and professional ties.
Meech denies the claims and seeks to stop further...
Virginia Giuffre’s new memoir describes in detail her alleged abuse by Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Prince Andrew. She claims Epstein trafficked her and forced her into sexual encounters with Andrew on three occasions, including one she called an “orgy” on Epstein’s private island with about eight other girls, most of whom seemed under 18 and did not speak English. Epstein reportedly mocked their silence, calling them “the easiest girls to get along with.”
Giuffre says she felt sickened years later seeing a 2011 photo of Epstein and Andrew together in Central Park. Prince Andrew has denied all accusations and settled a civil case with Giuffre in 2022 without admitting fault.
She also recounts severe abdominal pain after one...
Nicki Minaj surprised fans by deactivating her Instagram account late Monday night or early Tuesday morning without explanation. Her sudden exit left followers guessing about the reason behind the move.
She has stayed active on Twitter, where she recently posted an AI-generated image of Jay-Z in a wig, criticized radio host Charlamagne Tha God, and accused Keyshia Ka’Oir, Gucci Mane’s wife, of copying her for years. In recent weeks, Minaj has sparked online debates with fiery posts targeting several artists, including Cardi B.
Her unpredictable online behavior has raised questions about what she might do next. Fans are unsure if her Instagram break is short-term or a more permanent step away from the platform.
Dreka Gates has filed a lawsuit against rapper Kevin Gates, accusing him of abandoning his financial responsibilities to her and their children while living lavishly. Court documents state that in 2021, Kevin stopped paying for essentials, such as private school and property taxes, even as he bought nearly 20 luxury cars and a multimillion-dollar home in Calabasas.
The couple’s Mississippi farm now faces IRS action over an alleged $7 million in unpaid taxes. Dreka is asking the court for $27,193 per month in child support and $46,274 in spousal support. She also seeks temporary primary custody, noting the children have lived mostly with her since 2023.
Kevin reportedly argues they were never legally married. Dreka disputes this...
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes sued House Speaker Mike Johnson for failing to swear in Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva, who won her special election nearly a month ago. Mayes said the delay leaves over 813,000 people in Arizona’s 7th District without representation and called it “taxation without representation.”
Johnson called the lawsuit “patently absurd” and claimed Mayes has no authority in the matter. He said the holdup is due to the government shutdown and that he will seat Grijalva when Congress resumes.
House Democrats suspect another motive. Once sworn in, Grijalva would likely provide the 218th signature needed to force a vote on releasing all Department of Justice files tied to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation...
Chris Brown appeared to respond to Kevin McCall’s recent claim of being owed $25,000 for four songs they worked on together. Brown did not name McCall but posted online, “You can’t walk across a burnt bridge. And you know what’s funnier than a troll. A BROKE ONE.”
McCall had spoken on the “Back On Figg” podcast about his financial hardship, saying he now uses an EBT card. He also became emotional while discussing his career struggles. The two have a history: between 2014 and 2016, McCall accused Brown of withholding royalties, and Brown mocked him online, once posting a video of new cars with the caption, “I bought this with your money.”
Following McCall’s latest comments, rapper Young Thug offered him $25,000. It is not known whether...
