#RHOA: Todd Tucker Responds to Kandi Burruss’ Shocking Court Claims
The divorce between Real Housewives of Atlanta alums Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker has taken a turn. Kandi filed for divorce in 2025, and fans hoped for an amicable split. However, the divorce battle between Kandi and Todd has become heated.
In Kandi’s divorce documents, she requested joint custody of their two children, Ace and Blaze. In addition, Kandi also wanted the prenup to be upheld. However, Todd asked for primary custody of their children and questioned the validity of the prenuptial agreement. Fans saw this prenup situation unfold in real time in Kandi’s wedding spin-off.
Recently, Kandi filed new court documents revealing that Todd is living in the guest house. According to Kandi, Todd allegedly hasn’t paid a dime for any upkeep or bills associated with the home. Plus, Kandi stated that Todd hasn’t paid any child support. She hired a nanny, shooting down Todd’s claims that he is a present and engaged father.
TMZ reported that Todd fired back in legal documents. Todd admitted to living in the guest house, but claimed it was because his ex “unilaterally removed” him from the main house. In addition, he accused Kandi of instructing her family to move his belongings without his permission. Yikes!
Meanwhile, Todd said that before they separated, they both put money into an account. These funds were to be used for expenses. However, in the legal documents, Todd claimed that Kandi told him after the separation that she would pay all the bills and would not use that account.
“[Kandi] now attempts to reframe and weaponize this self-created financial arrangement as evidence of financial instability or neglect, while the timing and sequence of events demonstrate otherwise,” Todd stated in the court papers. Plus, Todd accused Kandi of making negative comments about him in order to change the narrative from her “ongoing physical absence from the kids” and her “reliance on a third-party caregiver.” He requested temporary physical and legal custody of the children until a parenting agreement is reached.

#HipHopNews: Kanye West & Travis Scott Reportedly Working On Joint Album
Kanye West and Travis Scott have been secretly putting together a collaborative project — according to Havoc, at least.
The Mobb Deep legend was interviewed by Complex about his role in Ye’s The Life of Pablo, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, and let the cat out of the bag about Yeezy and La Flame’s alleged album.
“Recently, I did a track — I don’t want to blow up the spot and say it just in case if it don’t ever come out. But I will say, he’s working on a project, I believe, with Travis Scott,” the veteran rapper/producer said.
It sounds like Havoc, who counts Kanye as a big admirer and has soundtracked numerous songs for the Chicago native including “Real Friends,” “Famous” and “Vultures (Havoc Version),” is even involved in the project himself.
“A few of my tracks have made the cut so far,” he added.
After Kanye West took numerous shots at Travis Scott during his infamous social media tirade in early 2025, the pair appeared to rekindle their relationship months later when the Cactus Jack hitmaker showed love to his longtime mentor.
“Shoutout to my brother Ye, man. I ain’t gon’ lie, we might have to do something special,” he said onstage during a performance in Sydney, Australia last October.
Weeks later, Travis brought out Ye as a surprise guest at his concert in Tokyo, Japan, where the former G.O.O.D Music duo ran through hits like “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” “Runaway” and “Carnival.”
Kanye is also expected to return this spring with a new solo album, which will mark his first release since 2024’s Vultures 2, his second (and seemingly final) collaborative LP with Ty Dolla $ign.
After numerous delays, it was recently reported that West’s 12th studio album Bully will arrive on March 30 as a part of a new deal with Gamma., the music media company founded by former Apple exec. Larry Jackson.
The controversial rap icon is also hoping the project will help to further repair his reputation following his recent apology for his antisemitic behavior, which was published as a full-page ad in The Wall Street Journal.

#RIPRevJesseJackson, civil rights icon and two-time presidential candidate, dies at 84
The Rev. Jesse Jackson, the longtime civil rights activist, Baptist minister and two-time presidential candidate, died Tuesday, his family said. He was 84.
"Our father was a servant leader — not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world,” the Jackson family said in a statement. “We shared him with the world, and in return, the world became part of our extended family. His unwavering belief in justice, equality, and love uplifted millions, and we ask you to honor his memory by continuing the fight for the values he lived by.”
A cause of death was not immediately given. His family said he died peacefully surrounded by his loved ones.
He was admitted to a hospital in November and had been living for more than a decade with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), according to his Rainbow PUSH Coalition, which affects patients’ ability to walk and swallow and can lead to dangerous complications.
Jackson revealed he had Parkinson’s in 2017. He was treated as an outpatient at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago for at least two years before he shared the diagnosis with the public.
At the time, the Rev. Al Sharpton reflected on Jackson’s impact on American politics and the Civil Rights Movement.
“As I watched him, I thought about the greatness of this man,” Sharpton said then. “How he continued Martin Luther King’s movement for justice, how he cemented it in the North and made the King movement truly national. ... He changed the nation. He served in ways he never got credit. No one in our lifetime served longer and stronger. We pray for him, because he’s given his life for us.”
Public observances will be held in Chicago and future plans for celebration of life events will be announced by the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, the Jackson family said in its statement Tuesday.

Jackson was born in Greenville, South Carolina, and rose to prominence in the civil rights era, participating in demonstrations alongside the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. His activism spanned decades, including two runs for the Democratic presidential nomination, in 1984 and 1988.
In the first race, he won more than 18% of the primary vote and a handful of primaries and caucuses.
“Merely by being black and forcing other candidates to consider his very real potential to garner black votes, which they need, Jackson has had an impact,” read a 1984 New York Times profile.
Four years later, he built on that success by winning 11 primaries and caucuses.
Jackson began his work as an organizer with the Congress of Racial Equality, participating in marches and sit-ins. He attended North Carolina A&T State University and graduated with a degree in sociology. He began rallying student support for King during his divinity studies at Chicago Theological Seminary and participated in the 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery march in Alabama.
Shortly afterward, Jackson joined the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, or SCLC, to work alongside King full time. He drew praise from King as a young man running the SCLC’s economic development and empowerment program, Operation Breadbasket — “we knew he was going to do a good job, but he’s done better than a good job,” King said.

As he grew as an organizer, Jackson married Jacqueline Brown, who survives him, in 1962. They have five children, including former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill.
Jackson, who was at the motel in Memphis, Tennessee, with King when he was assassinated in 1968, did not let up after King’s death. He took his vision for Black liberation even further by founding People United to Save Humanity, or PUSH, in 1971. He resigned from the SCLC that year to start PUSH after he was suspended from the organization; he was accused of using the SCLC for personal gain. PUSH worked to improve economic conditions of Black communities in the country and later expanded to politics with direct action campaigns and social areas through a weekly radio show and awards for Black people.
Jackson’s 1984 presidential bid prompted the launch of his National Rainbow Coalition, which opposed President Ronald Reagan’s policies and advocated for social programs, voting rights and affirmative action. PUSH and the National Rainbow Coalition merged in 1996 and are now the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition.
His 1984 campaign angered some Democrats who said his ideas were too left-leaning and would hurt the party in the general election. Jackson dismissed the concerns.
“The great responsibility that we have today is to put the poor and the near-poor back on front of the American agenda,” Jackson said of the 1984 campaign in a 1996 interview with PBS. “This is a dangerous mission, and yet it’s a necessary mission!”

Jackson’s 1984 campaign was marred when he referred to Jewish people as “hymies” and called New York City “hymietown” in a Washington Post interview. He initially denied having made the remarks and accused Jewish people of targeting his campaign. He later admitted having used the slur and offered an impassioned apology.
In 1991, Jackson was elected as one of Washington, D.C.’s two “shadow senators” to lobby for D.C. statehood and served one term.
Jackson also helped win the release of several detained and captured Americans around the world. In 1999, he negotiated the release of three U.S. soldiers being held in Yugoslavia. President Bill Clinton awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom for those efforts a year later.
Jackson’s other successes included winning the release of a U.S. Navy pilot in 1984 from Syrian captors after his plane was shot down, at least 16 Americans held in Cuba in 1984, 700 women and children from Iraq in 1990 and two Gambian Americans from prison in the West African country in 2012.

In recent decades, Jackson was outspoken about leading politicians, including former President Barack Obama. He condemned Donald Trump’s presidency, saying, “Fifty years of civil rights have been threatened.” Jackson endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in the 2020 presidential election, and Sanders made sure to praise him on the campaign trail.
“It is one of the honors of my life to be supported by a man who has put his life on the line for the last 50 years fighting for justice,” Sanders said at the time.

#BoxOffice News: Wuthering Heights Hits Higher Heights and Deeper Depths at The Global Box and US Box Office
Controversial or not, Emerald Fennell’s new adaptation of classic novel Wuthering Heights is hitting, well, heights at the box office for its opening weekend: a staggering $76 million globally.
The film, which stars Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie in the iconic roles of Heathcliff and Cathy, managed to gross $34.8 million in the United States, which brings the worldwide total for the film’s debut to $76.8 million. Interestingly enough, though, those numbers do actually fall under the projections set for the film reported by Deadline. Warner Bros. expected the project to open to closer to $40 or $50 million domestically, but it still falls within their $70 to $80 million global projection.
That said, the movie’s opening weekend is technically a four-day one, with the day of this writing (Monday, February 16) being President’s Day — so there’s a chance that Wuthering Heights hits that initial domestic projection by the day’s end.
The competition is stacked right now at the box office with two other new releases on offer alongside Wuthering Heights: the animated kids comedy Goat, which is holding onto the second spot domestically under Fennell’s film, and Crime 101, a star-studded thriller that is also a literary adaptation, believe it or not, with a claim to the No. 3 slot at the box office.
There are several new and exciting titles coming in the next week, though — projects like Psycho Killer and How to Make a Killing — so those more recent additions might threaten a little of the profits of Wuthering Heights. But we won’t know until we see what happens at the box office next weekend.
Wuthering Heights was written and directed by Fennell, adapted from Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel of the same name. Alongside Elordi and Robbie, Hong Chau, Alison Oliver, and Ewan Mitchell star. It debuted in theaters in the United States and United Kingdom on February 13, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Grammy-winning singer and actress Fantasia Barrino received a deeply emotional surprise during her Valentine's Day concert on February 14, 2026, when her husband, Kendall Taylor, took the stage to publicly "re-propose" after 11 years of marriage, turning the sold-out show into an unforgettable celebration of love and commitment.
According to reports and social media footage shared from the evening, Taylor paused the concert to address the crowd, explaining that although the couple married quickly in 2015, he had never given Fantasia a formal proposal. Wanting to "make something right," he delivered an emotional speech reflecting on their journey together before kneeling on stage and presenting his wife with an 11-carat diamond ring - symbolizing one carat for each year of their union.
The heartfelt moment moved both Fantasia and the audience to tears as the singer reportedly dropped to her knees in surprise while fans cheered throughout the venue. The couple, known for openly sharing their faith-centered approach to marriage and family, has often spoken about their whirlwind romance, which began in 2015 and led to a courthouse wedding just weeks after meeting.
Taylor's public gesture served as both a romantic tribute and a renewal of vows, highlighting the couple's enduring commitment through years of personal and professional growth. In his remarks, he acknowledged their shared journey of prayer, perseverance, and partnership, emphasizing the importance of honoring his wife in a way he felt she deserved.
Fans across social media quickly celebrated the moment as a powerful example of enduring love, with many praising the symbolic ring and the sincerity of the proposal. The surprise also added an unexpected highlight to Fantasia's ongoing tour stop in Houston, transforming the concert into what many attendees described as a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The re-proposal stands as a reminder that love stories continue to evolve - and that even after more than a decade together, meaningful new chapters can still be written in public, heartfelt ways.

Jada Pinkett-Smith Files to Dismiss Brother Bilal Lawsuit
Last year Will Smith's former friend and personal assistant, Brother Bilal, filed a civil lawsuit against Jada Pinkett-Smith for intentional infliction of emotional distress after Jada denied wild allegations Bilal made about Will Smith and Duane Martin
Now Jada has filed to dismiss...From TMZ Jada filed court docs demanding the lawsuit -- which is asking for $3 million in damages -- brought by Bilaal Salaam be thrown out. The actress asserts that Bilaal’s case is nonsense.
The "Girls Trip" star said all of Bilaal’s claims were “false, uncorroborated and made to generate attention as part of an ongoing public campaign of harassment directed at” her and her family.
Jada said Bilaal’s lawsuit seeks to punish her for her “constitutionally protected speech on a matter of intense public interest about her family.”
The entertainer accused Bilaal of having a fixation on the Smith family and claimed she did not mention Bilaal’s name when speaking out about the matter.
As TMZ previously reported, Bilaal sued Jada in November 2025 for intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The Trump administration must restore slavery exhibit at Philly’s President’s House, federal judge rules
The judge, a President George W. Bush appointee, likened the administration’s rationale for removing the panels to the authoritarian regime in George Orwell’s novel "1984."

A federal judge on Monday ruled the Trump administration must restore the slavery exhibits at the President’s House Site on Independence Mall while the case over the National Park Service’s actions continues. In January, employees from the National Park Service removed the display that detailed the lives of nine people George Washington enslaved at the home while he was president.
U.S. District Judge Cynthia Rufe compared the administration’s rationale for removing the signs detailing slavery to the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s “1984” — a dystopian novel about authoritarianism.
“As if the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s ‘1984’ now existed, with its motto ‘Ignorance is Strength,’ this Court is now asked to determine whether the federal government has the power it claims — to dissemble and disassemble historical truths when it has some domain over historical facts,” Rufe wrote in her decision. “It does not.”
Walking through the exhibit with her family Monday afternoon, Upper Darby resident Yolanda Parks agreed.
“How will we know where we came from if the history [exhibit] doesn’t remain,” Parks said. “You can’t change history just because right now you’re feeling some kind of way. I’m glad that we’re putting it back up. Very sad when it came down, but very excited that it’s getting put back up.”
Rufe, who was appointed to the federal bench by former President George W. Bush, referenced the Orwellian Big Brother regime several times in describing the Trump administration’s actions.
‘It’s a line that has been crossed’: Philadelphia reacts to the removal of the President’s House site slavery exhibit
The removal enforces a White House executive order to remove exhibits “disparaging” American history. The city has filed a lawsuit.
Rufe did not set a deadline for the restoration. But Michael Coard, an attorney and founder of Avenging the Ancestors Coalition, which joined the city of Philadelphia in suing the federal government over the removal, said that’s likely because she expects the Trump administration to appeal the decision.
“This judge, a Republican, by the way, looked at the law, looked at the facts, and did the right thing,” Coard said. “It’s a great day in Philadelphia, it’s a great day in Pennsylvania, it’s a great day in America.”
Coard had been hosting the annual Presidents Day event at the site when he learned of the decision. He said the news made him “ecstatic.”
“We always point out that George Washington and 11 other presidents enslaved Black people,” Coard said. “This happened on Presidents Day. To me, it’s like the judicial equivalent of the Revolutionary War where the Founding Fathers took up arms against a dictatorial government in Britain. Well, this judge took up a pen against a dictatorial government here in 2026.”
Coard said the 40-page decision is “factually and legally impressive.”
The city of Philadelphia sued to restore the exhibit, citing contractual agreements made through congressional authority. Rufe wrote that the National Park Service cannot make changes to exhibits without agreement from the city of Philadelphia. Congress “limited the authority of the Department of the Interior and NPS to unilaterally alter or control Independence National Historic Park. The agencies do not have the authority to flout that Congressional directive.”
The National Park Service did not immediately respond to WHYY News’ request for comment.

A federal judge on Monday ruled the Trump administration must restore the slavery exhibits at the President’s House Site on Independence Mall while the case over the National Park Service’s actions continues. In January, employees from the National Park Service removed the display that detailed the lives of nine people George Washington enslaved at the home while he was president.

He previously said he was considering a run for Florida’s 20th Congressional District, a seat currently occupied by Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick.
Uncle Luke made South Florida history back in the 90s for taking on and winning free speech protections for his music that law enforcement labeled as obscene.
His roots and activism in the community run deep and he unloads on issues regularly on his broadcasts, podcasts and as a columnist.
Campbell joined “This Week in South Florida” host Glenna Milberg to discuss his decision
Cardi B Takes Aim at BIA After Confirming Stefon Diggs Breakup Rumors
Cardi B might be feuding with her estranged boyfriend, Stefon Diggs, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to let anyone else talk greasy about him — especially someone she’s beefing with.
On Sunday night (February 15), the "WAP" hitmaker took to the stage at the KIA Forum in Los Angeles for the first of two sold out shows at the venue as part of her Little Miss Drama Tour.
Right before performing her BIA diss track, "Pretty & Petty," Cardi seemingly took a shot at the Massachusetts rapper, announcing: "Let me tell you somethin', just because I ain’t fuckin' with my baby daddy doesn’t mean you get to talk about my baby daddy, bitch! This for you, bitch."
Cardi was seemingly responding to a recent X post from BIA, who on Thursday (February 12) commented on a clip of Cardi performing "Pretty & Petty" in Palm Desert, California. The track’s first verse infamously opens with: "Name five BIA songs, gun pointed to 'ya head / Bow, I’m dead."
"Can u name someone with more bms than receiving yards? I can! and I know that... ykwnvm [three cry-laughing emojis]," BIA wrote.
BIA's remark seemed to allude to widespread reports that NFL wide receiver Diggs, who welcomed a son with Cardi in November, also birthed multiple children with multiple women within a year.
A source confirmed to Entertainment Tonight on Monday (February 9) that Cardi and Diggs "recently" ended their relationship.
Judging from Cardi’s latest comment, the reports appear to be true about her and Diggs not currently being on good terms.
50 Cent recently weighed in on the rumored break up. One day after the New England Patriots lost the Super Bowl to the Seattle Seahawks, the G-Unit head honcho took to Instagram to kick Diggs while he was down.
"Can you imagine waking up this morning and you done lost this b!tch and the Super Bowl,” he wrote. "I would tell everybody get away from me, have a drink and go back to sleep. LOL"

Beyoncé Shows Love to Puerto Rico in New Instagram Photos From Super Bowl Suite
Beyoncé showed love for Bad Bunny's homeland of Puerto Rico after tuning in to his 2026 Super Bowl halftime performance.
Although she was not photographed inside Levi's Stadium during the Feb. 8 game, the elusive Cowboy Carter singer confirmed her attendance by sharing snapshots from a private suite on Instagram on Feb. 15.
Alongside video of the viral tree performers walking across the field and a photo with husband Jay Z, she posted a separate carousel that subtly but clearly nodded to Puerto Rico.
In the photos, Beyoncé is seen eating a hamburger at a gold plated table setting. Resting beside her plate were two miniature flags on stands, one American and one Puerto Rican. Notably, the Puerto Rican flag featured its original light blue hue rather than the darker navy commonly seen today.
She then shared another image focused squarely on the two flags, placing the Puerto Rican flag fully in view.
The gesture connects directly to Bad Bunny's halftime performance and the themes of his Album of the Year-winning LP, Debí Tirar Más Fotos.
As Teen Vogue's Sara Delgado explained, he closed the album with the outwardly political track “La Mudanza,” a personal reflection on his family's history and his pride in being Boricua. In the first verse, he references the historic repression of Puerto Rican nationalism, rapping, “They killed people here for waving the flag, that's why I bring it anywhere I want now.”
The lyric refers to Law 53 of 1948, known as the Gag Law (or “La Ley de La Mordaza”), which criminalized the display of the Puerto Rican flag until it was ruled unconstitutional in 1957.
Delgado noted that the original Puerto Rican flag featured a sky blue color that was later changed to navy by the Government of Puerto Rico, and today the light blue version is often favored by those who support the island’s independence.
The song closes with a declaration of belonging: "Nobody can take me out of here, l'm not going anywhere. Tell them this is my house, where my grandpa was born. I am from P fuckin' R."
During his halftime show, Bad Bunny carried a Puerto Rican flag in that original light blue shade.
Beyoncé’s history of support for Puerto Rico dates back years, including her 2017 remix of J Balvin and Willy William’s megahit "Mi Gente.”
At the time, proceeds from the remix went to hurricane relief efforts in Puerto Rico, Mexico, and other Caribbean islands following Hurricane Maria, Hurricane Irma, and a devastating earthquake in Mexico.

Anderson Cooper to Exit '60 Minutes' After Almost 20 Years
After almost 20 years with the news program, Anderson Cooper is reportedly set to exit 60 Minutes as a correspondent.
Variety is reporting that a “person familiar with his thinking” confirmed the news to them about the 58-year-old broadcaster. He first started on the news program in 2007.
CBS News confirmed to Just Jared, “For more than two decades, Anderson Cooper has taken 60 Minutes viewers on journeys to faraway places, told us unforgettable stories, reported consequential investigations and interviewed many prominent figures. We’re grateful to him for dedicating so much of his life to this broadcast, and understand the importance of spending more time with family. 60 Minutes will be here if he ever wants to return.”
Apparently, he was going through negotiations with CBS recently to renew his deal, but he reportedly now wants to focus on his job at CNN. Anderson did re-up his contract with CNN last year.
There have been issues at 60 Minutes over the last few months, including, famously, the “Inside CECOT” segment that one journalist said was pulled for political reasons.
Anderson has not made a statement confirming this news.

Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus Has several store closures!
The glitz and glamour are fading for several high-end shopping hubs as Saks Global prepares to lock the doors for good.
In a massive shake-up announced this week, the retail powerhouse is closing eight Saks Fifth Avenue locations and a Neiman Marcus storefront in Boston.
This downsizing isn’t a surprise to those following the company’s bank statements; Saks took on a staggering $2.2 billion in debt to acquire Neiman Marcus back in 2024, a move that eventually led to a bankruptcy filing this past January. The company is now “refining the Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus store footprint to focus on profitable locations with the highest growth potential,” effectively cutting loose any branch where the rent or the revenue no longer makes sense.
The cuts go deeper than just the storefronts. Most of the company’s elite “Fifth Avenue Club” personal styling suites, the private luxury hubs tucked inside five-star resorts, are also being dismantled. Out of nearly 20 locations, only three will survive.
These high-end outposts in vacation hotspots like Savannah, Charleston, and Santa Barbara have been closed to the public as of Saturday, Feb. 14. Even the digital footprint is being consolidated; the home decor brand Horchow is losing its standalone website on Feb. 19, with its inventory being absorbed into the Neiman Marcus online catalog.
For shoppers in cities like New Orleans, Phoenix, and Philadelphia, the news signals the end of local access to these legacy luxury brands. While the company’s Bergdorf Goodman stores are staying open as usual.
According to the company, the Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus stores on the hit list “will stay open until the end of April,” giving local shoppers one last window to visit before the lights go out.
Saks Global is calling these “strategic actions” meant to save the business long-term. By narrowing their focus to only the most profitable cities, they hope to crawl out from under their massive debt. For now, the luxury retail experience is becoming a much more exclusive and much more limited.
Full List of Closing Saks Fifth Avenue Locations:
• Alabama: Birmingham (Summit Blvd.)
• Arizona: Phoenix (E. Camelback Road)
• Louisiana: New Orleans (Canal St.)
• New Jersey: East Rutherford (American Dream Way)
• Ohio: Columbus (Polaris Parkway)
• Oklahoma: Tulsa (Utica Square)
• Pennsylvania: Philadelphia/Bala Cynwyd (Bala Plaza)
• Virginia: Richmond (Stony Point Parkway)
Closing Neiman Marcus Location:
• Massachusetts: Boston
