NBA YoungBoy announced over the weekend that he and his wife, Jazlyn Mychelle Hayes, have welcomed a baby. In a short video shared to Instagram Stories, the rapper filmed Hayes resting in a hospital bed. “My gangsta had her baby,” he said quietly, before asking how she felt. “Relieved,” she replied, offering a small smile. The couple, who married in January 2023, revealed last summer that they were expecting a daughter. The child is their third together, following Alice, born in 2021, and Klemenza Tru, born in 2022. With this birth, YoungBoy—whose legal name is Kentrell DeSean Gaulden—is now a father of 13. Gaulden became a parent as a teenager, welcoming his first son at 16. In the years since, he has had children with several former partners, a fact that has drawn sustained public interest alongside his prolific music career. His expanding family has often unfolded in tandem with album releases, tours, and legal challenges, becoming part of the broader narrative that surrounds him. A Personal Moment Amid Online Noise The announcement came amid an unrelated online dispute between the rapper and the streamer PlaqueBoyMax. After the streamer criticized YoungBoy’s “HeadTap” video, the rapper responded on X with a sharply worded post. PlaqueBoyMax later addressed the exchange during a livestream, saying, “I fuck with you. I’m not going to apologize. I didn’t do nothing wrong.” He added, “At the end of the day, I fuck with YB. I’m still going to play his music… YB, I fuck with you heavy. I just don’t like this song.” For now, the focus appears to be on family. The brief hospital video offered a rare, unguarded glimpse into a private moment—one that stood in contrast to the public intensity that often surrounds him.

A brief moment during a weekend livestream has prompted a fresh round of online discussion involving Celina Powell and Young Thug. Speaking with comedian Deshae Frost, Powell was asked to name her “best body,” to which she replied, “Young Thug, his d*ck is huge. Why would you ask if you didn’t want me to say?” The clip, later shared by the media outlet No Jumper, circulated quickly across social platforms. Reactions ranged from amused to critical, reflecting the way personal remarks can take on a life of their own once posted online. Some commenters treated the exchange as entertainment, while others questioned the framing of the question itself. As is often the case with viral livestream moments, the conversation expanded well beyond the original context. Powell has referenced Young Thug publicly before. In a 2022 podcast appearance, she spoke positively about their past encounter, offering brief but favorable remarks. Those comments, resurfacing now, have added to the renewed interest in her latest statement. View this post on Instagram A relationship under pressure Young Thug, whose legal name is Jeffery Williams, is engaged to singer Mariah The Scientist. He proposed during a benefit concert in Atlanta last December. In a prior interview with Angie Martinez, Mariah said, “I wanna be married. That’s my plan. I want a baby. I just want at least one. I’ll start with that and see how I can manage.” Mariah supported Williams during his lengthy incarceration tied to the YSL RICO case. After his release, leaked phone calls revealed strain in their relationship, and Williams later addressed her publicly on X. “My baby I was wrong and I’m sorry for what I put u through. U deserved better from me. Thank you for everything and I will do anything to make this work,” he wrote. He added, “U showed me what love is and I hope I haven’t lost u forever… everybody leave her out of this please she’s an innocent girl and feels bad about all of this. Please give her peace.”

Despite rumblings on social media, Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson are going strong. According to reports, the pair had unfollowed one another on Instagram. However, later it was revealed that the two had never followed each other in the first place. Nevertheless, Megan felt the need to let the haters know that she and her man are doing well. “I feel like I don’t know what’s going on. That’s that boyfriend weight,” Megan said during a TikTok live. “That’s that Klay weight.” Back in July 2025, Megan and Thompson made their red carpet debut at the rapper’s inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation gala. Megan Thee Stallion says she’s gained “happy boyfriend weight” after breakup rumors swirl after fans spotted that she and Klay Thompson unfollowed each other. pic.twitter.com/uJeEJZGgUR — My Mixtapez (@mymixtapez) February 20, 2026 Megan Thee Stallion Has Entered Her ‘Lover Girl’ Era Megan Thee Stallion is fully in her “Lover Girl” era. The rapper recently spoke with PEOPLE about her relationship with NBA star Klay Thompson, revealing she didn’t even expect to be in a relationship.“Well, I don’t never want to tell [anybody] to just jump in a relationship just because everybody else got one, and I’m not going to tell you to just jump in a relationship because you have to,” Megan says. “I didn’t even know I was going to be in my relationship, to be honest.” The relationship with Thompson apparently came right on time. For the past few years, the rapper has been open about her mental health struggles. After focusing on improving her mental and physical health, as well as self-love, she found herself ready to accept the love she deserved. “I think that because finally I started being in a better mind space about myself and my life, and I had already been doing a lot of work to heal me,” she recalls. The rapper continued, “I had been going to therapy, I had a bunch of activities that I started doing for myself; maybe God just opened up that space for me to have somebody that loved me right.” For the first time in her life, Megan says she feels “overly comfortable” in a relationship.

T.I. has made it clear that the Verzuz between him and 50 Cent won’t be happening anytime soon. According to the Atlanta rapper, he lost respect for the G-Unit founder. Not long ago, T.I. stopped by the Million Dollaz Worth Of Game Podcast to explain what happened. The rapper claims that 50 Cent initially agreed to go head-to-head in a Verzuz competition; however, it seems that at some point, the New York native must’ve changed his mind. “I just ain’t call him out of the blue,” T.I. said. “This ain’t come out of nowhere.” “We were moving around in L.A., selling some TV shows. While we were around each other, I said, ‘What you think about this?’ He was like, ‘You want to do that sh*t?’ I said yeah. He was like, ‘Alright, cool.’ I told him, ‘I’ma jump out there first, and then, you just go jump out there, and we’ll line it up.’ He said, ‘Alright,’ [but] when I jumped out, that n*gga acted like he ain’t know what the f*ck going on,” T.I. continued. View this post on Instagram “I don’t respect him,” T.I. Says Things seemed to have come to a head between the two after the Power creator trolled that Paper Trail rapper for his request. Earlier this month, 50 Cent shared a video on Instagram of T.I. testifying in court. In the clip, T.I. identifies the body of a former friend named Phil, as well as details the process of calling his family to inform them of his death. “No, no, I don’t like it No verses, let’s do (The stay away challenge ) and stay away from me. LOL @50centaction,” Fif wrote in the post’s caption. T.I. claims that 50 Cent’s antics have gone too far this time. Now, he has no interest in even standing on stage with the rapper. “Okay, you gon’ play. Alright, cool. Well, how about f*ck all of it? ‘Cause now, I question your character… just say you don’t want to do it. All the other extra lame-a** sh*t, man, that sh*t goofy.” He added. “…I don’t want to stand on stage with him. I have no interest in standing on stage with that n*gga, I don’t respect him.”

After a credit card snafu at a restaurant in Milan, Snoop Dogg paid its owners back in an epic way. The rapper—who’s serving as a special correspondent for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina —apparently stopped by Cronoz, a gastropub located in Livingo, for some takeout. According to Sofia Valmadre, the daughter of the restaurant’s owners, the rapper had a massive order, which included a cheeseburger, chicken wings, chicken nuggets, and French fries. However, when it came time for him to pay up, the rapper’s credit card declined. “He sent his staff to take [the card] and pay, but they couldn’t pay. I don’t know why, it wasn’t going,” Valmadre said. “So my mother told him that it was OK [to take the food] without paying.” Not long after, Snoop returned to the restaurant with a big surprise: five free tickets to the men’s snowboard halfpipe final. After Snoop Dogg’s credit card didn’t go through on a takeout order in Livigno during the Winter Olympics, he paid the next day and gifted the restaurant owners five tickets to the men’s snowboard halfpipe final. pic.twitter.com/nS4H99M2ox — NBC Los Angeles (@NBCLA) February 15, 2026 Snoop Dogg’s Security Allegedly Clashed With Dutch Athlete at Winter Olympics On a more sour note, last week Snoop Dogg’s Milan trip took an unexpected turn after a backstage encounter between his security team and Dutch speed skating champion Marianne Timmer. The incident reportedly occurred at the Milano Speed Skating Stadium following the men’s 1000-meter race. Timmer said she was waiting in a hallway to speak with athletes when a member of the rapper’s security detail approached. What she described as a routine moment quickly became tense. In an interview with Sportnieuws, Timmer said she was pushed while standing against a wall. “I was standing against a wall, and one of the security guards pushed me even closer,” she said. “I said, ‘Just act normal’, it’s a really wide hall, about four metres. But then the guy came back and I said, ‘What? Do I have to go through that wall or something?’” She indicated that the hallway had ample space and that she did not understand the need for force.

Floyd Mayweather must have been listening to LL COOL J when he rapped, “Don’t Call id comeback/I been here for eats.” In a stunning announcement, just before his 49th birthday, Mayweather is officially returning to boxing. On Friday evening, the 15-time world champion confirmed that he is “unretiring” following his highly anticipated exhibition bout with Mike Tyson.  “I still have what it takes to set more records in the sport of boxing,” Mayweather told Andreas Hale of ESPN. “From my upcoming Mike Tyson event to my next professional fight afterwards — no one will generate a bigger gate, have a larger global broadcast audience, and generate more money with each event — then my events. And I plan to keep doing it with my global media partner, CSI Sports/FIGHT SPORTS.” Floyd Mayweather Jr. has announced that he will end his retirement and resume his professional boxing career after his Spring 2026 boxing exhibition with Mike Tyson. “I still have what it takes to set more records in the sport of boxing,” Mayweather said in a statement to ESPN.… — ESPN (@espn) February 20, 2026 Richard and Craig Miele, co-founders of CSI Sports/Fight Sports, also released a statement expressing their excitement about partnering with Mayweather. “Signing Floyd Mayweather to un-retire after he captures another worldwide audience with his Mike Tyson match-up, highlights our commitment to providing our global audience with the most high-profile fighters in the sport,” the statement read. “Floyd will once again continue to dominate boxing with the biggest audience and highest gross events of all time, and we are proud and privileged to be able to do with our global team at CSI Sports/FIGHT SPORTS,” their joint statement read. “We look forward to even more announcements that will excite fans and continue to build the sport in 2026!’ MAYWEATHER IS ONE OF BOXING’S ALL-TIME GREATS In a professional career spanning from 1996 to 2017, Mayweather amassed a flawless record of 50-0, and he’s hailed as one of the greatest fighters in the history of the sport. Mayweather has won 15 major world titles across five different weight classes, from super featherweight to light middleweight.  A game-changer when it comes to the economics of boxing, he was named the highest-paid athlete of the last decade(2010–2019) by Forbes and headlined the two highest-grossing pay-per-view events against Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor.  MAYWEATHER IS SUING SHOWTIME Mayweather’s decision to return to officially return to the squared circle follows a recent lawsuit he filed against Showtime. In the suit, he claims that the network, along with former president Stephen Espinoza, misappropriated his funds. He’s seeking $340 million in damages.

Cardi B has made concert history, becoming the first female rapper to have two sold-out shows at Inglewood’s Kia Forum. On Friday (Feb 20), Live Nation announced the major milestone via Instagram. “Cardi B launched her first headlining arena tour this past week to two sold-out crowds, and made history as the first female rapper to sell out two nights at the Kia Forum.” Earlier this week, Cardi B kicked off her Little Miss Drama tour. Along with special guests and sold-out shows, there’s also been controversy. The rapper recently clapped back at BIA for throwing shade at her ex, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, with whom she shares a child. 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. View this post on Instagram Cardi Claps Back At BIA On Stage “Let me tell you sumthin’, just cause I ain’t fcking with my baby daddy, doesn’t mean you get to talk about my baby daddy b*tch.” Things kicked off after BIA hopped into the comment section of a fan page. Under the post, which was a clip of Cardi performing “Pretty and Petty, BIA wrote, “Can u name someone with more bms than receiving yards? I can! and I know that… ykwnvm ,” she wrote. Diggs has faced several paternity lawsuits in the past and recently took a major loss at Super Bowl LIX. Cardi B and BIA’s beef stems back to early 2024, following the release of the Love & Hip Hop Alum’s “Like What (Freestyle).” BIA claimed that it was a rip-off of her track released a year prior, “I’m That (Btch).” Both tracks happened to feature a sample from Missy Elliott’s “She’s a B*tch.” Not long after Cardi dropped off her freestyle, speculation arose that Cardi had copied BIA’s sound—a sentiment to which she agreed.

Ray J is making a dire plea to his fans. According to the singer, someone stole his heart monitor off his chest during a recent concert. The singer tells TMZ that while performing “One Wish,” he often jumps into the crowd to “touch the people.” However, this time things didn’t go as planned. “If you have the heart monitor, just let us know how we can get it back,” Ray J pleads. “It’s important, I need it for analytics.” Ray J says if necessary, he’ll get the monitor replaced. That said, he’s been without the monitor for nearly two weeks, which is dangerous for someone in his condition. “I don’t have no data for the past two weeks. It affects them [his doctors] prescribing me what I need.” Without the device, he says the doctors can’t tell him whether he needs to “slow down” or if he’s where he needs to be. “This is not a theatrical campaign,” Ray J Says “DM me or DM Melina [his manager], TMZ, whoever,” Ray J says. He noted that he’s willing to pick up the device in person. “Let’s meet up so I can at least get it back and whatever y’all need from us, we’ll give it back to you, or we’ll give you some cash.” The reality star makes it clear this is not a stunt or a “theatrical campaign.” A few weeks back, Ray J landed in the hospital after experiencing severe pneumonia and heart pain. According to the Love & Hip Hop alum, his heart is only working at 25% capacity. “My heart’s only beating like 25%, but as long as I stay focused and stay on the right path, then everything will be all right. So thank you for all your prayers,” Ray J said in a Janurary Instagram post.

According to new legal documents obtained by TMZ, Kim Kardashian is worried that her ex, Ray J’s, recent accusations could affect her dream of becoming a lawyer. A while back, Ray J alleged that Kim would face racketeering charges. Shortly thereafter, Kim and her mother, Kris, filed a defamation lawsuit. Ray J would later countersue, claiming that their bombshell 2003 sex tape was recorded consensually. Per Ray J, the pair discussed releasing the tape three years later. Now, in a new declaration, Kim is claiming that when Ray J made his allegations, he had “absolutely no basis” to make them. Kim made it very clear that she’s not facing any charges and hasn’t been accused of a crime, including any type of RICO violation. “… “I have never been contacted by a government authority or agency, or a civil litigant, in connection with any alleged or potential criminal activity,” the court documents read. – MARCH 22: Ray J and Kim Kardashian attend Charlotte Ronson Fall/Winter 2006 Collection at Library Bar on March 22, 2006. (Photo by Stefanie Keenan/Patrick McMullan via Getty Images) “I feared that [Ray J’s] accusations would put my dreams of becoming an attorney in jeopardy,” Kardashian Says The reality TV star described her relationship with the singer as “short-lived.” The pair dated for nearly three years in the early 00s (2003-2006). Kim also expressed to the court that she was worried her friends and family would be exposed to lies spread by Ray J. “I had to have tough conversations with my kids about the lies [Ray J] has repeatedly told about me and my family.” That said, it appears that Kim’s greatest concern is how this could affect her future legal career. “I feared that [Ray J’s] accusations would put my dreams of becoming an attorney in jeopardy,” the court documents read. “Further …It is my understanding that, before becoming an attorney, the California State Bar evaluates moral character through a comprehensive background investigation, including investigation allegations of criminal misconduct or dishonesty.”

A simmering rivalry between 50 Cent and Jim Jones resurfaced this week after social media posts suggested Jones had lost access to his podcast studio. The episode began circulating widely after 50 Cent shared a message referencing an alleged lockout. He also mentioned what he characterized as property damage. In one caption, he wrote, “Sam is my partner I own the joint, now your gonna fix every door you kick or I’m gonna kick ya a*s jimmy. [thinking emoji] by Monday, your destroying my property.” The image accompanying the post appeared stylized. However, its authenticity was not independently confirmed. Clips that followed seemed to show Jones attempting to enter a studio space tied to his show, Let’s Rap About It. In one video, he can be heard saying, “the f*ck is you talking about,” as a door lock is broken. Screenshots of a notice terminating tenancy under the name Joseph Jones, his legal name, also circulated online. The document indicated the possibility of negotiating with the landlord. However, the precise terms of any lease agreement have not been publicly verified. View this post on Instagram Feud Turns Into a Viral Spectacle 50 Cent continued to comment on the situation, adding a note of sarcasm. “Damn bro this wouldn’t happen if we was friends, wanna be friends? I don’t know let’s rap about it! LOL,” he wrote. In a subsequent post, he shared what he described as a phone call with the property owner. The owner alleged that unpaid rent ranged from $80,000 to $180,000. Those figures have not been independently confirmed. Jones responded with humor rather than direct rebuttal. Posting a brief video, he captioned it, “Kunfu Jim. No lock doors lol,” appearing to treat the episode as spectacle rather than crisis. The exchange underscores how longstanding tensions between the two artists now unfold largely through social media posts and viral clips. In this context, performance and provocation often blur with real-world disputes.
