At the storied Chateau Marmont, Malice and Pusha T reemerged before a crowd of artists, executives, and longtime admirers during the 2025 GQ Men of the Year gala. The evening carried a sense of occasion, marking not only their presence on a major stage but also the long-awaited return of the Thornton brothers as Clipse with their album Let God Sort Em Out. Momentum has been building around the duo, fueling talk of potential Grammy recognition and renewed interest in their legacy. Their comeback arrives after years of divergent paths—Pusha T releasing a steady run of solo music and Malice stepping back from the industry to pursue a spiritual shift. Now reunited, they appear determined to shape a new chapter together. During a recent conversation with Rolling Stone, Malice pushed back against the idea that their return would be brief. The question held weight, given the long gap since Til The Casket Drops and the uncertainty surrounding new work. But his response left no room for doubt. “Not a chance,” he said, his voice firm. “Listen, we just got here, man. There’s so much more to come.” While a timeline for their next release remains unannounced, a Zoom call from their Virginia Beach studio with writer Simon Vozick-Levinson hinted that fresh material is already in motion. With the acclaim surrounding Let God Sort Em Out still rising, fans have reason to expect more activity soon. Malice reiterates that fans won’t be waiting another 16 years for new Clipse music “No way. Listen, we just got here, man. There’s plenty more.” (via Rolling Stone) pic.twitter.com/5zGLsAf1gE — Kurrco (@Kurrco) November 21, 2025 Reclaiming Identity and Creative Direction Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Malice reflected on his evolution and his decision years ago to briefly perform as No Malice. “As my beliefs and heart evolved over time, I wanted to demonstrate that there was nothing harmful about me regarding bringing negativity or malice into anything,” he said. But reuniting with Pusha T prompted a return to the name that defined their earliest success. “We owe it to ourselves and our fans to maintain our original branding. Clipse will always be Clipse,” he added. With a tour ahead, the brothers are preparing to bring their latest work to the stage. Three final dates are set for December 2025—two in Virginia Beach and one in Brooklyn—before they head into a busy festival season that includes Coachella and All Points East next year.

Sara Rivers, a former member of Da Band, has reentered public view after filing a far-reaching lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs. Her complaint, submitted in February 2025, accuses Combs of sexual assault, harassment, and misconduct connected to her time on Making The Band 2. Rivers is seeking $60 million in damages, a sum she argues reflects the extent of the alleged harm. Rivers describes a series of disturbing episodes during the show’s taping. In her account, Diddy “backed her into a corner” and made unwanted physical contact while cast members lived in what she called “inhumane” conditions. She also says Diddy and his companies damaged her career by misusing her creative work. These claims form the core of a narrative she has carried for years but is now fighting to litigate in full. Last August, U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff dismissed most of Rivers’ allegations with prejudice, blocking any future attempt to revive them. Only one allegation remains—the claim brought under New York’s Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act—and it cannot move forward without approval from a higher court. Rivers has already encountered a major complication: she missed the October 17 deadline to file Form C, the document required to establish the official record for an appeal. That missed deadline has placed her appeal in default under federal rules. Current Legal Context for Diddy Rivers’ case is one piece of a larger legal landscape surrounding Diddy. A judge recently granted him permission to serve a defamation lawsuit against accuser Courtney Burgess through newspaper publication because his incarceration prevents direct service. The matter is separate from Rivers’ claims but adds to the ongoing legal scrutiny focused on Diddy. With most allegations already thrown out and her appeal stalled, Rivers faces an increasingly steep climb to keep her case alive. Unless the appellate court intervenes, her remaining claim may never reach a courtroom. For now, both sides are waiting on the next procedural decision, which will determine whether the lawsuit continues or closes for good.

Cardi B is easing her way back into fitness as she prepares for a massive touring year ahead. The rapper shared a gym clip to her Instagram Story showing her sweating through a stairmaster session, a video she noted was originally recorded on November 13th and posted on November 20th. Still adjusting to life after giving birth, she told fans she’s intentionally starting slow as she rebuilds her strength. “Tour journey with me,” she wrote. “I haven’t started tour rehearsals yet but I’m doing light workouts to not only get my body back in shape but my joints and bones.. I’m 33 honey I’ma ol’ lady.” In the clip, Cardi let everyone know this was her official first day returning to the gym. She knocked out more than 20 minutes on the stairmaster before heading toward the squat machine, explaining that her long-term goal is to eventually handle an hour on the stairs without stopping. With a 2026 arena debut on the horizon, she’s focused on getting her endurance where she wants it to be. This comeback also arrives during a major moment in her personal life. Cardi recently welcomed her fourth child, and her first with NFL star Stefon Diggs, announcing that she gave birth to a baby boy on November 13th. She posted the first look at her newborn on November 19th, a sweet photo that shows her holding her son as he’s wrapped in New England Patriots gear in honor of his father’s team. The post collected more than four million likes as fans celebrated the new addition. On top of motherhood and training, Cardi is gearing up for the Little Miss Drama Tour, which kicks off February 11th in Palm Desert and travels through dozens of cities before closing out April 17th in Atlanta.

Summer Walker became the center of an unexpected online feud after Celina Powell repeatedly mentioned her while throwing shade at Lil Meech. Over the past month, Celina has inserted Summer’s name into conversations about Meech at least twice, but this latest round finally prompted Summer to respond. When Summer pointed out that Celina is a “fan,” Powell did not dispute it. Instead, she boasted about allegedly being involved with several of Summer’s former partners, from Lil Meech to Rico Recklezz. Summer answered by posting screenshots of messages Celina had previously sent her along with a fiery note about men who settle for “loser” women. Celina Powell claimed that she’s been with all three of Summer Walker’s exes in her latest story posts. (:@gettyimages):#TSRStaffJR pic.twitter.com/dRUH8DA1O2 — TheShadeRoom (@TheShadeRoom) November 18, 2025 The tension traces back to Summer’s interview with Speedy, where she revisited the viral moment from 2023 involving Meech entering a woman’s apartment and calling them “cousins and groceries.” Summer told Speedy that Meech’s life is “terrible now.” Celina chimed in afterward on Instagram, calling Meech a “weirdo.” At that time, Summer stayed silent. The situation resurfaced when Celina posted a video of herself singing one of Summer’s new tracks and tagging her with the caption, “When y’all crying over the same man but she can actually sing.” Summer reposted the clip and added, “Lmao tried to tell y’all these b*tches really fans of me.” Celina followed up with a lengthy message naming men they allegedly shared and wrote, “I use to smash Meech to ur songs playing in hte background…I never gave af. I like yo music girly pop @summerwalker. Oh and I had [London On Da Track] before u and [Rico Recklezz] and Meech ALLL BEFORE U so please stfu and just sing.” Celina continued with more posts, including one where she said, “Sure am, now get back to the studio and make some more music about the man I took from ya.” Summer did not go back and forth. Instead, she promoted her album and shared a screenshot of Celina apologizing privately on November 10, saying, “Congrats on ur album and I apologize fr if I ever caused any drama.” Rico Recklezz later responded to Celina’s claims, admitting to oral sex once but saying it “don’t count.” Celina insisted he still belongs to her “collection.” Amid all of the online back and forth, Summer posted a final message about women who accept men with no standards, writing, “I truly understand.”

Drake stirred up fresh online chatter after showing approval for a comment aimed at his former flame Serena Williams. The rapper, who was romantically connected to Williams on and off from 2011 to 2015, shared a series of tennis-inspired photos with Sexyy Red on Monday, Nov. 17th. He captioned the post, “I said tennis lesson she said where’s the bracelet or the necklace.” Under the carousel, one user wrote, “Serena Williams upgrade” with two fire emojis. Drake liked the remark, which led many fans to call him out for fueling unnecessary drama. Another Instagram user noted he was being “messy for liking” the jab. View this post on Instagram His social media activity comes months after Williams addressed speculation about her appearance during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show. The tennis icon appeared in a dance moment while Lamar performed “Not Like Us,” a track widely interpreted as a shot at Drake. Williams told Time the moment was “absolutely not” shade toward her ex and that she “would never” participate in anything intended to mock him. She said it was “sad that anyone would ever think that” and added, “I respect how they could. Obviously I can see how someone would think that, but absolutely not.” She also explained, “I have never had negative feelings towards him. We’ve known him for so many years.” Williams said the dance was actually a nod to her famous celebration at the 2012 London Olympics, where she did the crip walk after winning her gold medal match against Maria Sharapova. Reflecting on the moment with Time, she admitted, “I don’t know if I regret it or not. I don’t know the answer to that.” Drake has referenced Williams in his music as well, including on the 2013 track “Worst Behavior,” where he rapped, “I’m with my whole set, tennis matches at the crib / I swear I could beat Serena when she playin’ with her left.”

Megan Thee Stallion’s defamation case against blogger Milagro Gramz drew renewed attention today. The courtroom examined the emotional impact of a deepfake sexual video allegedly linked to Gramz’s social-media posts. The rapper’s attorney argued that the video, along with other content, caused “extreme emotional distress,” forming a central part of the lawsuit Megan filed last year. Court records introduced during the hearing revealed that Sonstar Peterson, father of Tory Lanez, reportedly transferred $3,000 to Gramz between October 2020 and March 2022. Gramz admitted receiving the funds but maintained they were intended for personal reasons. These included her children’s birthdays and promotional activities—not as payment for defamation. Testimony from Megan’s former manager, Travis Farris, provided further context for the case. He described how the rapper sought therapy after being shown the compromised video. He explained, “The incident prompted her to work through trauma in a clinical setting.” His statements underscored the significant emotional toll Megan experienced following the circulation of the material. Testimony Highlights Alleged Defamation and Harm The trial continues to unfold in a Miami federal courtroom. Both sides are presenting evidence and testimony regarding the alleged defamation and financial transactions. Attorneys for Megan are emphasizing the seriousness of the emotional harm caused by Gramz’s actions. Meanwhile, the defense maintains that any payments were unrelated to the lawsuit’s claims. As the proceedings progress, today’s testimony added crucial details to the case. It highlighted the interplay between social media activity and the personal consequences Megan alleges she endured.

Doja Cat opened her Ma Vie world tour in Auckland on November 18. She stepped into a global rollout already charged with anticipation. The pop star’s launch was met with excitement from her fans online. This was punctuated by her all-caps rallying cry on X: “AUCKLAND LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIII.” However, once the lights came up, a wave of criticism began circulating from concertgoers. They felt the show didn’t meet the energy they expected. Many of the early complaints focused on the visual direction of the tour. One user wrote, “Okay no shade, the VIE tour just gives Scarlet with different outfits,” echoing a sentiment that the aesthetic didn’t feel new. Others questioned whether the production had enough support behind it. One fan posted, “i usually be on doja side when she clock kittens but…girl js say ur label ain’t give u budget and keep it pushing [loudly crying emoji].” The commentary quickly spread, setting the tone for a tense exchange. Doja Cat responded head-on, refusing to soften her pushback. In one striking message, she wrote, “And I’m not your fcking costume monkey; I move at my own pace and break my fcking back out there every night. So you can keep your bullsh*t opinion to yourself. You are not the artist; you are the watcher.” Her comments prompted a fresh round of debate. This focused on how artists navigate public scrutiny in real time.

You fcking low life btch,” a reply that further fueled conversation. This was about the increasingly fraught boundaries between performers and their online communities. As the Ma Vie Tour moves through Australia and New Zealand over the next week and a half, the spotlight on Doja Cat’s relationship with her fan base is unlikely to fade.
