50 Cent and Daphne Joy
*50 Cent is taking legal action against his ex, Daphne Joy, after she alleged he raped her.
In March, Joy took to Instagram to publicly allege that the rapper sexually and physically abused her, a claim 50 Cent vehemently denies. As we reported earlier, he asserts that her accusations are a retaliatory strike in response to his pursuit of full custody of their 11-year-old son, Sire.
“I am tired of upholding and protecting an image to our son that you have never even earned,” Joy posted. “Let’s put the real focus on your true evil actions of raping me and physically abusing me. You are no longer my oppressor and my God will handle you from this point on.
She added, “You have permanently damaged the last hope I had for you as a father to preserve our family with these last and final false claims made against me. You have broken our hearts for the last and final time.”
50 Cent wants custody of Sire after Joy was named as one of Diddy’s “sex workers” in the lawsuit Rodney Jones filed against the iconic hip-hop music producer.

Beyoncé and her daughter Blue Ivy Carter are teaming up as the 12-year-old has landed her very first role Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King. Both Bey and Blue Ivy will appear in the film that is a prequel to Lion King.
Blue Ivy will play Princess Kiara in the film, while the Cowboy Carter artist will reprise her role as Queen Nala from the 2019 movie.
Critics didn’t love Disney’s remake of the beloved cartoon, however, the film still raked in $1.663B at the box office.
Rotten Tomatoes summed up the reception: “The Lion King is a by-the-numbers retelling that lacks the energy and heart that made the original so beloved-though for some fans that may just be enough.”
The new teaser trailer for Mufasa: The Lion King shows off the movie impressive special effects. It also ends with the words “Introducing Blue Ivy Carter,” flashing on a black screen.

Pete Davidson
One of Eddie Murphy’s upcoming movies is currently in production but recently faced an on-set issue. The Amazon MGM Studios film, which is titled The Pick Up and also stars Pete Davidson and more, made headlines earlier this week after “several” crew members were apparently injured . The studio confirmed that information via a statement and at the time, said that it was “in the process of gathering facts.” Now, it’s been confirmed that a federal investigation has been launched.
The inquiry into this matter is being handled by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, according to The Hollywood Reporter . It was previously reported that the incident occurred while second-unit production on the film was in progress. At the time, the crew was allegedly filming a “pre-rehearsed” action sequence, which “did not go as planned.” A representative from the U.S. Department of Labor shared new comments with the trade, confirming that the situation is being analyzed.
As the investigation is open, we are unable to provide preliminary or interim information at this time.

Benzino believes that R. Kelly is being treated unfairly after the latter was sentenced to 30 years in prison after being convicted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges in 2022.
During an appearance on the We In Miami podcast that was published on Wednesday (April 24), the media proprietor talked about redemption in the context of male artists having sexual relations with girls who are below the age of consent.
“Everybody deserves a second chance,” he said when asked about the Chicago native. “The legal age is 16 years old, so does that make it right if a n-gga does it, yes or no?”
When the women around the table all collectively agreed that it’s still wrong, he continued: “Alright, but it’s legal in America, so why the fuck is R. Kelly doing all this time? Because you know why? Because they’re 14 and 13 — two years younger — but you don’t think that the people who cleared it for 16 years old didn’t know that they’re fucking with 13s and 14s, too.
