#RHOA: NeNe Leakes Reportedly Dating New Man After Brief Lawyer Romance
If reports are accurate, NeNe Leakes appears to have reunited with a familiar face. The former Real Housewives of Atlanta is revisiting a former flame on the heels of her latest relationship coming to an end. According to TMZ, NeNe dated attorney Arthur Horne III just a few times. The pair were packing on the PDA at a Memphis Grizzlies game earlier this year. Arthur told the media outlet that they went on a few dates over 2-3 weeks, and it was not a serious relationship.
He admitted that NeNe is a phenomenal, fantastic woman who’s fun to be around. It looks like there are no hard feelings there. But now that her relationship with Arthur is in the rearview, sources have revealed that NeNe is once again seeing Nyonisela Sioh. Fans may recall that NeNe was originally linked to Nyonisela back in 2021. This was approximately three months after the tragic death of NeNe’s husband, Gregg Leakes.Peter Thomas introduced the couple to each other. Nyonisela owns a high-end couture suit company in North Carolina and is originally from Liberia, Africa.Sources say that NeNe and Nyonisela never fully broke up. However, they also never put an exclusive label on their relationship. So it’s possible that they just restarted the relationship they never fully severed.It appears NeNe is all about the comebacks recently.
She recently confirmed her big Bravo comeback with her participation in the Housewives 20th Anniversary special, Real Housewives: Ultimate Road Trip. She wants to move forward and repair her relationship with Andy Cohen. And now, she’s apparently revisiting a former relationship.

#HipHopNews: Kodak Black Arrested for Drug Trafficking, Released on $75k Bond
Police searched a vehicle outside of a children’s non-profit back in November, where they reportedly found ecstasy.
Kodak Black has been arrested in Florida on charges of drug trafficking. According to ABC News, the rapper was booked Wednesday (May 6) by the Orange County Corrections Department. He’s charged with trafficking MDMA, aka ecstasy.
The incident began outside the Children's Safety Village, a nonprofit for kids in Orlando, back in November 2025. The police report states that officers responded to a 911 call about gunshots and upon their arrival at the scene, searched vehicles that were in the vicinity of the incident, according to the police report; it also said that Kapri approached the officers as they were searching the vehicles. According to the affidavit, police searched through two cars upon their arrival. In the trunk of a BMW, they found a bag containing 56 grams of cannabis in sealed marked cannabis bags and a metal container containing “a pink pill substance.” In a Lamborghini, they found a pink bag on the rear passenger seat containing MDMA, documents with Kodak's legal name, Bill Kapri, and $37,000 in cash. The amount of MDMA reportedly crossed the threshold for drug trafficking charge requirements.
"Everyone on scene was asked if the bag or its contents belonged to any of them, and all denied ownership, including Bill Kapri," the report stated. "When Kapri was informed of the money in the bag, he attempted multiple times to have the money turned over to him, claiming it belonged to his business. Kapri, however, would not claim the bag or any of its contents.”
The sheriff's deputy’s report said that one of those pills found during the search later tested positive for MDMA. Another officer said that he found a bag containing the rapper’s ID, money and a bottle of cough syrup. The report also included an image from Kodak Black's Instagram page that had a pair of pink scissors and a pink bag, which investigators said was uncovered during the search and contained the illicit substance.
WJLA reports that Kodak Black bonded out of Orange County Jail late on Thursday, May 7.
His attorneys roundly disputed the allegations in court. They argued that the car that was searched by police did not belong to Kodak Black. His legal team said they plan to fight what they termed “ridiculous” charges.

Beyonce’s Alleged Laptop Theif Rejects Plea Deal, Faces 6 Years in Prison
A man accused of stealing sensitive materials tied to Beyoncé has rejected a plea deal and is now preparing for trial, where he could face up to six years in prison.
Kelvin Evans declined an offer from prosecutors that would have resulted in a five-year sentence. Instead, he chose to move forward with trial proceedings in Fulton County court.
During a prior court appearance, Evans made his position clear, stating, “I’m ready for trial now.”
Authorities say the case stems from a July 2025 break-in during the singer’s “Cowboy Carter” tour stop in Atlanta. Investigators allege that two suitcases were stolen from a vehicle belonging to members of the artist’s creative team.
Police reports indicate the vehicle, a Jeep Wagoneer, had its rear window shattered in a parking garage. The stolen luggage reportedly contained laptops, hard drives, and flash drives with unreleased music.
The items also included tour plans, set lists, and other production materials linked to the high-profile tour. Some of the data has not been recovered, according to investigators.
The alleged theft involved members of Beyoncé’s touring crew, including a choreographer and a dancer. They had left the vehicle parked for less than an hour before discovering the break-in.
Authorities later connected Evans to the incident through surveillance footage and other evidence. He was arrested in August 2025 and has remained in custody since that time.
Prosecutors have charged Evans with felony and misdemeanor offenses, including entering an automobile and criminal trespass. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of six years.
Legal officials say his prior criminal record could influence sentencing if a jury finds him guilty.
A trial date has been scheduled, with jury selection expected to begin soon. The case has drawn attention due to the involvement of unreleased music and high-profile entertainment figures.
Evans has pleaded not guilty to the charges. His decision to reject the plea deal means the case will now be decided in court rather than through negotiation.

Mariah Carey Spotted With Anderson .Paak After Jeannie Mai Kiss
Mariah Carey and Anderson .Paak sparked fresh romance speculation after the pair stepped out together Thursday night in Los Angeles.
The Grammy-winning musicians attended a screening of The Devil Wears Prada 2 at Westfield Century City, where onlookers spotted them walking hand in hand through the theater complex.
Anderson .Paak arrived in a glittering suit that matched the upscale event’s stylish atmosphere. Carey complemented the evening in a shimmering dark outfit as the two stayed close throughout the outing.

Speculation involving the pair first emerged in late 2024 after they were seen spending time together during the holidays in Aspen. Their recent studio collaborations only intensified fans’ curiosity, prompting questions about whether the relationship had become more personal.
Neither Carey nor Anderson .Paak has publicly confirmed a romance. However, Thursday’s appearance marked one of their most affectionate public moments to date.
The sighting also arrives after Anderson .Paak faced separate dating rumors involving Jeannie Mai earlier this year. Social media users speculated about a possible connection after the two appeared together several times in recent months. Neither star addressed the reports publicly.
Fans flooded social platforms following Thursday’s outing, with many calling the hand-holding moment the strongest indication yet of a relationship between Carey and Anderson .Paak.
One fan wrote, “They really look happy together.” Another added, “Mariah and Anderson .Paak were not on my 2026 bingo card, but I love this.”
Despite growing public interest, both artists remain silent about the speculation. Still, their glamorous Los Angeles appearance has amplified fascination surrounding the rumored romance and left fans eager for answers.

NAACP Files Lawsuit to Block Tennessee’s New Congressional Map
The NAACP has filed a lawsuit seeking to block Tennessee’s newly enacted congressional map. The legal action comes just hours after the plan was signed into law.
The lawsuit, filed by the NAACP’s Tennessee State Conference, argues the redistricting effort is unlawful. It claims the new map dismantles the state’s only majority-Black congressional district.
Republican lawmakers approved the map during a special legislative session. Gov. Bill Lee signed the measure into law the same day.
Civil rights leaders say the changes dilute Black voting power in the state. They argue the move violates both the Tennessee Constitution and state election laws.
“This lawsuit seeks to prevent the elimination of Black political representation,” the NAACP said in a statement.
The dispute centers on Tennessee’s 9th Congressional District. The Memphis-based district has long been the state’s only Democratic-leaning seat.
Under the new plan, lawmakers split the district into three separate areas. Each new district leans Republican, according to critics.
The NAACP argues the timing of the redistricting is also illegal. State law generally limits map changes to once per decade, after the U.S. Census.
“The redistricting is illegal because state law says maps cannot be changed between U.S. Census apportionments,” the lawsuit states. A separate concern involves how quickly the law was passed. The NAACP and other groups say the rushed process limited public input. Opponents also point to broader national implications. The lawsuit follows a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that weakened key parts of the Voting Rights Act.
The legal challenge is one of several filed in response to the new map. Another federal lawsuit claims the timeline makes election preparations difficult.
Election officials may face challenges updating voting systems. Ballots and candidate filings were already underway before the map changed.
Civil rights advocates warn the stakes extend beyond Tennessee. They say similar redistricting efforts are unfolding across the South.
“This is not democracy,” activists said during protests at the state Capitol.
Republican leaders defend the new map as legally sound. They argue it reflects the state’s political makeup and complies with current law.
The court will now decide whether to halt the map’s implementation. Tennessee’s congressional primaries are scheduled for August

Judge Dismisses Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Against Will Smith
The lawsuit was brought by violinist Brian King Joseph, who performed on Will Smith's 2024 concert tour and accused Smith and members of his touring staff of misconduct during a Las Vegas stop.
Joseph, known for finishing third on America’s Got Talent in 2018, claimed in court that someone broke into his hotel room during the tour. According to his filings, the intruder left sexually suggestive items along with a note that read, "Brian, I'll be back." He later alleged he was terminated after reporting the incident.
On Tuesday, Judge Michael Shultz ruled that these allegations did not meet the legal standard for workplace sexual harassment. The judge stated, "The allegations do not support a severe and pervasive concerted pattern of harassment sufficient to create an abusive working environment."
The court also found no direct evidence linking Will Smith or his team to the alleged break-in or the items left behind in Joseph’s room. In addition to dismissing the harassment claims, the judge rejected Joseph’s retaliation and wrongful termination allegations.
Despite the dismissal, the court left open the possibility for Joseph to amend and refile the lawsuit if new evidence arises. Meanwhile, attorneys for Will Smith have denied all accusations, calling the claims "untrue, inflammatory, legally baseless," and describing them as an "attempted money grab."
This ruling ends the current legal challenge over the 2024 tour allegations, clearing Will Smith of wrongdoing in this matter based on the information presented so far.
Diddy And Sarah Ferguson’s Secret Relationship? Well it's Sparking Royal Controversy
Sarah Ferguson has come under renewed scrutiny due to allegations of a secret relationship with music mogul Sean Combs, popularly known as Diddy, that reportedly spanned several years starting in the early 2000s.
According to a new book titled Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, excerpts of which were published by The Daily Mail, the two first crossed paths at a party hosted by Ghislaine Maxwell in New York in 2002. The book claims their relationship intensified around 2004 and continued privately for years.
The narrative details covert meetings and luxurious travels across Europe and Africa, describing their connection as a “secret friends with benefits” arrangement. These interactions have raised questions about the Duchess of York’s undisclosed ties to figures outside traditional royal circles.
One former Bad Boy Records staff member disclosed that the pair often stayed at upscale hotels together, fueling speculation about the extent and nature of their bond. In 2006, Diddy launched a fragrance called Unforgivable, which he said was inspired by Ferguson and her preferences regarding men's scents.
Further fueling public interest, Ferguson reportedly introduced her daughters to Diddy multiple times. One notable occasion involved a yacht party weekend where Eugenie, then 16 years old, was present alongside her mother. A member of the royal staff described these events as wild and expressed concern about the Duchess exposing her young daughter to such environments.
That same year, Ferguson attended Diddy’s annual White Party aboard the 300-foot yacht “RM Elegant” in Saint Tropez, France. The event drew attention due to its extravagant nature and the presence of the royal figure.
Meanwhile, Diddy is currently serving a 50-month prison sentence in New Jersey after his 2025 conviction on two counts related to transportation for prostitution. This legal downfall marks a dramatic shift for the music executive who built the Bad Boy empire over decades.
Through his legal representatives, Diddy has denied many of the allegations against him, labeling them as false, exaggerated, or financially motivated, although he has acknowledged certain elements of the claims. At the same time, Ferguson faces renewed backlash for her associations with the Epstein scandal, which continues to cast a shadow over her public image.

Nick Cannon’s Former Manager Accused Of Stealing Over $2 Million And Fleeing Country
Federal prosecutors have charged a former financial manager with allegedly stealing more than $2 million from Nick Cannon in a multi-year fraud scheme.
The accused, Frank Musoke, who worked as an account manager for a Beverly Hills financial management firm, faces an eight-count federal indictment that includes charges of wire fraud and tax evasion. Although Nick Cannon is not explicitly named in the court documents, sources have confirmed to TMZ that he is the victim involved in the case.
Authorities claim Musoke had control over financial matters for multiple celebrity clients and access to Cannon’s debit cards and PINs. Prosecutors allege that between late 2019 and mid-2023, Musoke made unauthorized withdrawals and purchases using this access.
The indictment details that Musoke withdrew about $1.7 million from ATMs and made over $165,000 in Amazon purchases. Additionally, it is claimed he charged nearly $192,000 for personal travel and spent around $160,000 on various other expenses, bringing the total alleged theft to more than $2 million.
Following the discovery of the missing funds, the firm where Musoke was employed terminated him in July 2023. Prosecutors also state that Musoke failed to report over $1.7 million in income on federal tax returns filed from 2021 through 2023.
Musoke faces five counts of wire fraud alongside three counts of tax evasion. Officials believe he fled to Uganda, where he reportedly holds dual citizenship. If found guilty, Musoke could face decades behind bars.

Musoke faces five counts of wire fraud alongside three counts of tax evasion. Officials believe he fled to Uganda, where he reportedly holds dual citizenship. If found guilty, Musoke could face decades behind bars.
Cardi B Case Over Woman’s Mic-Throw Claim At Vegas Show Headed For 2027 Jury Trial
The mic-throwing case involving Cardi B is moving forward. Cardi’s civil case in Clark County is officially heading toward trial, with a jury trial set within a five-week window starting October 11, 2027, according to court docs obtained by Document Tingz. The trial is expected to last about two weeks, including three days for jury selection, though the exact start date could shift depending on the court’s schedule. In the meantime, a series of deadlines and hearings have been put in place to keep things on track, and the judge made it clear there could be serious consequences, including fines or even dismissal, if either side misses deadlines or fails to show up.
ICYMI, the lawsuit stems from a July 29, 2023, performance at Drai’s Beachclub in #LasVegas, where Cardi asked the crowd to splash water on her while onstage due to the heat. According to the suit, at some point during the set, a woman identified as Jane Doe threw water and ice in Cardi’s face, prompting the Magnet artist to toss her microphone into the crowd, allegedly striking Doe.
Cardi later said in an interview that the woman splashed her several songs after she first asked fans to help cool her down. However, Doe claims the rapper continued encouraging the crowd to wet her and even poured water on herself. The woman alleges the mic hit caused injury and emotional distress, and she’s suing for assault, battery and negligence, along with a separate negligence claim against Drai’s Management Group.

Seth Rogen Roasts Kanye West During Netflix Comedy Event
Seth Rogen’s showing at Netflix Is A Joke turned into open season on Kanye West, RFK Jr. and several other celebrities during a wild night in Los Angeles.
Seth Rogen turned the Greek Theatre into a comedy coliseum this week, but somewhere between the punchlines, pyrotechnics and celebrity cameos, Kanye West somehow became the elephant in the amphitheater.
The actor, producer and professional laugh merchant hosted “Seth Goes Greek” on Wednesday night as part of Netflix Is A Joke Fest in Los Angeles, raising money for Hilarity for Charity, the Alzheimer’s nonprofit he runs with wife Lauren Miller Rogen.
The event was stacked – Jon Stewart, Sarah Silverman, Nick Kroll, Nikki Glaser, Eric André, Josh Gad, Michael Bublé and even Busta Rhymes! They all popped up for the benefit show. Seth booked people he personally wanted to watch and everybody else just had to come along for the ride.
But it was Rogen’s comments about Kanye West that went viral.
Rogen joked, but it turned into something else.
“He had a song called ‘Heil Hitler’ and he’s back. What’s funny is I’ve said critical things about Jewish people; I think I got in more trouble than Kanye West did.”
I am not so sure about that. But Seth is Jewish.
“I have no number one albums.” he said. “I sometimes think what Adolf Hitler would think of the Kanye West song ‘Heil Hitler.’ I bet he’d be torn.” Jon Stewart also unloaded on Ye during his set and discussed antisemitism He mockingly referencing Kanye’s Adidas fallout and bizarre public redemption tour. Stewart then went for some mainstream white people. He pivoted into roasting RFK Jr., MAGA politics, Spencer Pratt’s mayoral aspirations and even Donald Trump. Anybody could get it at the Greek Theatre that night.
An Alzheimer’s fundraising turned into a roast session – WOW.
