Authorities have sealed all records connected to the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the 15-year-old girl found inside the car of singer D4vd earlier this year. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed it received a court order placing a security hold on the case, blocking the release of any information while the investigation continues. The LAPD requested the hold, saying detectives need access to updates from the Medical Examiner before the public to protect the integrity of the inquiry. The request has stirred debate within the Medical Examiner’s office, where officials have publicly supported greater transparency in high-profile cases. Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Odey Ukpo said the department has pushed to limit the use of security holds. He noted that such holds are uncommon in many countries and do not offer a clear legal benefit. Ukpo said his office remains committed to public clarity, but must comply with the court order until it expires. He added that the department will release information once the restriction is lifted. D4vd-Celeste Rivas Details Sealed From Media By LAPD City officials acknowledged intense public interest and encouraged anyone seeking updates on the case to contact the LAPD directly. Singer d4vd, whose legal name is David Burke, remains a suspect in the investigation. He initially worked with detectives but became less cooperative after learning he had been classified as a suspect. His rising profile in the music industry has contributed to widespread attention on the case. The Medical Examiner has not released a cause of death. The security hold blocks the office from sharing any findings. Early rumors suggested the teen’s body had been dismembered, decapitated, or frozen, but investigators denied those claims. They said only that the condition of the remains required detailed forensic work. Rivas Hernandez was reported missing from Lake Elsinore in early 2024, shortly after turning thirteen. Her body was discovered on September 8 inside an impounded Tesla at a Hollywood tow yard. Workers called police after noticing a strong odor coming from the vehicle. Records linked the car to Burke, who was on tour at the time. Burke later canceled all remaining concert dates as the investigation intensified. The case remains active, and the sealed records have fueled continued concern as Los Angeles waits for the next update from authorities.

A new layer of controversy has emerged in the murder case of slain Florida rapper Julio Foolio, after a set of text messages allegedly involving convicted defendant Alicia Andrews went viral across social media on November 25. Andrews, who is being held at the Falkenburg Road Jail as she awaits her December 8 sentencing, is now at the center of public scrutiny once again — this time over an alleged exchange linked to an alleged mature-content subscription page. Fans found Alicia Andrews’ Finsta account, and she was charging on there. pic.twitter.com/BYII84FGWi — Rain Drops Media (@Raindropsmedia1) November 25, 2025 Screenshots circulating widely on X, TikTok, and Instagram appear to show Andrews communicating with an online customer through an account operating under the username @alicia_innocent_andrews. The page’s bio reads, “Life is a bh. I’ll keep going. Thanks for all your support y’all . Message me before calling.”** The profile advertises a menu of paid options, including 10 private photos for $25, video calls for $7.99 per minute, texts for $2.50, phone calls for $3.99 per minute, and a $35 twerking-in-her-cell video. The same clip referenced in the leaked conversation. In the screenshots timestamped around 20:46, Andrews appears to open the chat by telling the customer, “It’s fine xx. I’ll launch an appeal,” signaling her plan to challenge the guilty verdict in the killing of Foolio. The customer replies, “How r u holding up in there?” Andrews responds emotionally: “Miss my mom .” Minutes later, at 20:48, the customer shifts to a request for paid content: “I hear you. Can you send me a video? I’ll pay of course.” The next image shows a blurred thumbnail with a $35 lock icon, followed by Andrews’ caption: “Dancing in my cell for you .” Julio Foolio Convicted Alicia Andrews’ Alleged Mature Content Charging Scam Discovered The exchange ignited immediate backlash, prompting widespread questions about whether Andrews had unauthorized access to a device inside jail or whether a third party is using her name to profit from the high-profile case involving Foolio’s death. “Y’all kno damn well this fake be real,” commented an X user under RainDrops’ post. Some commenters expressed disbelief that an inmate awaiting sentencing in a murder case could run a subscription-based page offering videos described as recorded “in my cell.” Social media users flagged the username and screenshots as a likely scam. “Shit’s fake lol,” comments a Reddit user. “No way she’d call herself ‘Alicia Innocent Andrews’ be serious. If this was real somebody would’ve found the profile/account and shared a link by now.” Agreeing with others, another user added: “It’s probably some 6 Block street level troop catfishing lol. It’s possible both pictures are legit and she posted them on IG before (prior to Foolio’s ambush) but I’m sure the account doesn’t really exist or someone’s running a scam.” Hillsborough County officials have not confirmed whether Andrews is responsible for the account or whether the messages originated from within the jail. Still, the viral leak has intensified public attention on the case, adding a new and unexpected angle as the court prepares to sentence Andrews next month.

Nicki Minaj is now contending with a defamation suit filed by former follower Tameer Peak. He claims she publicly insulted him during a 2024 live broadcast on Stationhead. Peak alleges Minaj made disparaging remarks, asserting he was “one sandwich short of a picnic” and insinuating that he “clearly receives government assistance.” The case has grown more complicated this week as Minaj parted ways with her longtime attorney, Judd Burstein. Burstein, who successfully helped dismiss an earlier defamation suit brought by Peak in New Jersey, opted not to continue representation. This decision came after the lawsuit was refiled in New York. On his decision, he stated, “I believe it would be inappropriate for me to discuss the reasons why I chose to decline the representation,” highlighting professional ethics. Legal Representation Developments The Northstar Group, which manages Minaj’s business affairs, revealed they were only recently made aware of the new legal action. They expressed concern over Burstein’s sudden exit. In a statement, Northstar affirmed that Minaj and her company intend to appear and defend themselves. They are requesting a brief stay to secure new counsel. According to reports, the presiding judge has given Minaj 45 days to retain legal representation. She is required to provide a progress update by December 13. Additionally, she must finalize her new counsel by December 28, ensuring the case moves forward without further delay.

In a candid interview with Carlos King, Benzino opened up about the complexities of his relationship with daughter Coi Leray, admitting that years of challenges have shaped their bond. “I truly don’t know where it all began to unravel,” he confessed, capturing the emotional weight of their shared history. He acknowledged the unique pressures of fame and his own upbringing on parenting. “Navigating life as a street guy with kids isn’t straightforward. There’s no handbook offered to us,” he said. Drawing from personal experiences and the lessons taught by his parents, Benzino emphasized his hope that Coi would carve a steadier path. “What I aim for is that she surpasses my achievements, finding a more stable footing,” he added. View this post on Instagram Benzino on Coi Leray’s Motherhood and Granddaughter Bonding The conversation took a lighter turn as Benzino jokingly noted Coi’s scrutiny of any woman he dates. “I still can’t quite comprehend how we arrived at this point,” he said, referencing the challenges posed by social media in their interactions. Clips from the No Jumper interview prompted reactions online, with one viewer writing, “Wishing for the healing of that relationship,” while another commented, “Sounds like he consulted ChatGPT for advice!” Despite past disagreements, Benzino expressed optimism following Coi’s recent entry into motherhood. “Words can’t encapsulate my happiness for Coi. I believe she will excel as a mother, and I’m equally thrilled for Trippie Redd and his family,” he told Hollywood Unlocked, highlighting his eagerness to connect with his granddaughter. Reflecting on the lessons of parenthood, he added, “This experience will undoubtedly mature her. It’s a chance for her to witness the challenges I faced as a parent.” Coi welcomed her child with Trippie Redd, her partner since 2024, marking a new chapter in both their lives.

On Tuesday, cultural leaders, lawmakers, and music heavyweights gathered to launch the Jamaica Strong Relief Concert. This is a sprawling effort to support the island’s recovery after Hurricane Melissa. The hurricane caused nearly $9 billion in damage and displaced more than a million people. The event, hosted by the Irie Jam Foundation, showed how deeply the storm’s aftermath has resonated across New York’s Caribbean communities. Shaggy, who will headline the December 12 benefit at UBS Arena alongside Sean Paul and other major artists, said the urgency of the moment left little time for the usual long-range planning. Yet, there was no hesitation. “We are the culture. We are Jamaica,” he said. “Some of your favorite artists wanted to be here today, but this came together so quickly that a lot of them already had commitments. Even if they can’t stand on the stage that night, they’re supporting this in every way they can. And honestly, Jamaica is the biggest artist on this show. Jamaica is the star we’re all showing up for.” Organized by the Irie Jam Foundation, Jammins Events, Roadblock Radio, and the Shaggy Make a Difference Foundation, the concert aims to fund housing assistance, medical relief, and long-term rebuilding across regions hit hardest by the October 21 storm. The lineup—expected to include reggae, dancehall, and crossover acts—reflects what organizers called a “cultural duty” to respond. View this post on Instagram Congresswoman Yvette Clarke Urges Immediate U.S. Support for Jamaica Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, whose Brooklyn district includes one of the country’s largest Jamaican diasporic communities, said the event offers something traditional policy channels often can’t: immediacy. “It’s incredibly important that cultural leaders and government leaders work side by side,” Clarke told HOT 97 after the conference. “We can take what we hear from our constituencies straight to the State Department. We can push them to meet the moment. Jamaica has always been an ally of the United States, and so many Americans consider it a second home. Seeing the island struggle like this has moved people deeply.” Clarke said the devastation in places like Montego Bay and Negril has only intensified the need for technical and financial support from the U.S. She added that benefit events help maintain national attention long after the headlines fade. “My hope is that this concert—and others like it—keep galvanizing people to give, to stay engaged, and to stand with the people of Jamaica through the long recovery ahead,” she said. As organizers repeated throughout the afternoon, the message was simple. Rebuilding is a global effort, and New York is determined to lead.

Muni Long is shutting down growing speculation that she took a jab at Mariah Carey in a new Instagram video. The R&B star sparked debate this week after posting a comedic Instagram skit featuring a Mariah Carey impersonator. The clip, tied to the rollout of her new single “Delulu,” shows the impersonator dramatically auditioning while referencing diva-like behavior, including joking about not wanting others to sing her songs.

Chrisean Rock is expressing deep frustration about motherhood and her ties to Blueface. In a raw moment on the One Night with Steiny podcast, she admitted she sometimes regrets giving birth to their son, explaining that Blueface and his family make her feel like she brought her child into “evil.” She singled out Blueface’s mother, Karlissa Saffold Harvey, accusing her of contributing to the negativity she feels surrounding her baby’s life. pic.twitter.com/FnrGbfNVfi — Slime (@Haternation987) November 25, 2025 On the podcast, Chrisean dove into the literal chaos of her former relationship with Blueface. The two once appeared inseparable, but now she feels betrayed and overwhelmed by the fallout. She also spoke openly about her issues with Coi Leray, another former romantic link to Blueface. According to Chrisean, Coi pretended to be her friend while secretly trying to get close to Blueface. She says the tension eventually exploded during a sprinter ride with GloRilla. “I grabbed my phone and slapped the sh*t out of her in her face with it,” she recalled, explaining how chaos broke out between their security teams. The incident, Chrisean believes, damaged her friendship with GloRilla. “Glo was kind of disappointed in me, because it’s a place and a time,” she said, though she insists she was pushed to that point. Her comments come shortly after Blueface’s own appearance on the podcast. He was asked to rank his exes, and didn’t hold back when discussing both women. “I miss Coi Leray little sexy ass,” he said, before adding, “Probably gonna go with Chrisean, she’s probably my worst ex.” His reasoning? “She’s cool. I only say worst just because there’s no line with her, she’s just gonna go to the moon.” Both are living new lives now. Chrisean is reportedly dating a 20-year-old nicknamed Top Hat, while Blueface has been getting close with Hazel-E, who appeared in his “Baby Girl” music video.

50 Cent is finally nearing the finish line on a project he first teased almost two years ago. Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson officially has a release date for his long-anticipated Sean Combs documentary, which Netflix has confirmed will premiere globally on December 2nd. The four-episode series is titled Sean Combs: The Reckoning. The documentary is directed by Alexandria Stapleton, who also serves as executive producer alongside Jackson, Stacy Scripter, David Karabinas, Ariel Brozell, and Brad Bernstein. Sean Combs: The Reckoning is being produced by House of Nonfiction, G-Unit Film & Television, and Texas Crew Productions. The project is positioned as a sweeping look at Combs’ legacy. The logline highlights the world-famous evolution of his persona — Diddy, Puff Daddy, Love — and asks who Sean Combs truly is behind those identities. It describes the series as “a staggering examination of the media mogul, music legend, and convicted offender.” The documentary traces Combs’ rapid rise through Bad Boy Entertainment, his reputation for recognizing talent early, and his role in elevating hip-hop into the mainstream by launching careers for The Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Jodeci and Danity Kane. It will also explore the troubling allegations that former associates, friends and employees say began to surround him as his empire grew. The producers promise “explosive, never-before-seen materials, including exclusive interviews with those formerly in his orbit.” Speaking about the cultural urgency of the story, Stapleton explained: “Being a woman in the industry, and going through the Me Too movement — watching giants in music and film go on trial, and to know what their outcomes were…When Cassie dropped her lawsuit, I just thought this could go a million different directions,” adding, “This isn’t just about the story of Sean Combs…” Jackson also spoke on his commitment to the project, saying, “I’ve been committed to real storytelling for years through G-Unit Film & Television.” View this post on Instagram Later, he leaned into humor on Instagram: “They said I was capping, what happened?

Ciara is settling into her new life in New York beautifully, and her latest surprise proves it. Billboard has the exclusive premiere of a brand-new video that captures Ciara bringing a massive burst of energy to Times Square with a 40-person flash mob, created in honor of her newest single, “Nice n’ Sweet.” The early-morning shoot, recorded Nov. 17th during rush hour, features dancers performing not only to the CiCi deluxe version of the track with MOLIY and Oxlade, but also to “BRB” and TikTok favorite “Low” in what she’s calling the “NYC Takeover.” Speaking with Billboard’s Delisa Shannon, Ciara explained the vision behind the moment. “I just knew being in the streets of New York dancing to ‘Low’ and ‘Nice n’ Sweet,’ which are very New York-ish, there’s an Afro-Caribbean influence in it, we know New York breeds that kind of energy throughout the streets,” she said. “So it just felt like the perfect place to have this moment and another ‘this place feels like home’ moment for me, which I loved.” Ciara moved to NYC with Russell Wilson and their four kids after he joined the New York Giants. While she’ll always claim Atlanta roots, she told Billboard: “Everyone knows I’m from Atlanta, but at the same time, New York is showing our family tremendous love,” adding, “And as an artist, I feel like New York has put their arms around me too.” The flash mob begins with a tight dance circle using “BRB,” before Ciara steps in wearing a Yankees cap, shades, and long blonde braids for “Low.” The single has blown up on TikTok via the “Low” Dance Challenge, and Ciara is embracing the momentum. “The digital footprint has allowed for even more global expansion, you know?” she said, noting how empowering viral videos are for fans. The finale centers on “Nice n’ Sweet,” with Ciara joining full choreography, taking photos with every dancer afterward and smiling, “That was nice and sweet!”
