Kimora Lee Simmons is officially stepping back into the television spotlight, marking a return that reflects how much her life has transformed since she last let cameras into her world. Years before the current wave of celebrity docuseries, Simmons helped define the genre with her stylish blend of fashion, motherhood, and business on E!. After that period, she made a deliberate choice to walk away from reality TV and focus on her growing family and expanding career. During her time away, everything about her day-to-day life shifted. “I was a mom of two,” Simmons told E! in an exclusive interview. “I’m now a mom of five, and I have a lot of other kids all around. I’ve changed careers a few times, husbands, investments. People are older — I’m a boy mom, I was a girl mom. People have driver’s licenses.” Those changes — and the nonstop pace that came with them — are exactly what pushed people close to her to encourage a return to television. According to Simmons, she didn’t seek out another show. The idea came from others who felt her real life had evolved into something viewers would want to see. “I feel like people around me are like, ‘Oh god, you’re so crazy. This is so much going on. You should have cameras,’” she said. Even with that encouragement, she wasn’t immediately convinced. She thought she had already closed that chapter. But those around her persisted until the conversations became more serious. “That ‘I’m really serious’ talk becomes a ‘here we go, we just need you to have a little meeting,’” she remembered. “And I’m like, ‘Really?’” Now, more than a decade since her last reality series, she’s returning with Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane, premiering December 2 on E!. The new show follows her as she navigates life with older teens, younger kids, business ventures, and a brand-new family dynamic. Her daughters, Ming and Aoki Lee, are also experiencing this comeback differently. “They’re young adults, so I’m not there to protect them and do everything,” Simmons said. “It’s been a journey.”
Belly Gang Kushington Talks About Tactics He Used to Go Viral & Being Vulnerable in His Music
Central Cee Admits Drake Is the Only Rapper Who Makes Him Feel Broke
Central Cee is speaking candidly about wealth in the music industry, and he didn’t hesitate to name the one artist who makes him realize just how massive the financial gap can be at the top. While talking with Instagram channel Rambo Is Talking, the U.K. rapper was asked whether anyone in the game had ever made him feel broke, and he immediately pointed to Drake as the only person who created that feeling for him. View this post on Instagram “I feel like it’s good to stay around people like that,” he explained, saying that being surrounded by major earners pushes him to elevate. “I stay around people like that…[but] I can’t lie, obviously around Drake I feel like a little fish.” The interviewer followed up by asking whether Central Cee believed he could ever catch up to The Boy financially. His answer was direct. “He’s gone,” he said, adding that once people reach Drake’s level of wealth, they often “own hospitals” and are involved in so many ventures that it becomes impossible for anyone behind them to match it. Still, the gap in wealth hasn’t stopped the two artists from working together. This summer, they teamed up for “Which One,” a collaboration that became a major achievement for Central Cee. The record earned him his first-ever No. 1 on both the Rap Airplay and Rhythmic Airplay charts, marking a new moment of global visibility for the London rapper. Central Cee has kept the momentum going. He recently headlined Rolling Loud’s debut festival in India, performing in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai and shutting down the opening night. At the same time, Rolling Loud co-founder Tariq Cherif revealed on a livestream with Adin Ross and DJ Akademiks just how much they want Drake to perform. “I send an offer to Drake every year,” he said. “We send him our max offer, millions of dollars.” Despite that, Drake has never taken the stage at a Rolling Loud event.
Mike Tyson Explains Why His Family Urged Him To Smoke Weed
Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson says he didn’t always light up by choice, sometimes, it was because his family pleaded with him to calm down. On a recent episode of the “Confidence of Champions” podcast, Tyson recalled how his loved ones urged him to resume using cannabis after a self-imposed pause. “When I’m drunk, I’m f*cking making a fool of myself,” Tyson said. “… When I took five days off from smoking weed … My wife and my kids would get scared. ‘Please smoke, Daddy.’” He added he wasn’t lashing out, but rather his energy “became too intense not high.” Without cannabis, he described himself as someone others found intimidating or uneasy around. Tyson emphasized that weed helped him keep peace — both inside and outside the ring. “You get some weed, they start taking selfies,” he said, contrasting how alcohol often fuels violence while marijuana encourages tranquility. He recalled the moment when his family expressed fear over his absence of cannabis. “They were scared,” he admitted, describing how his mood and demeanor changed during those sober days. In his view, cannabis offered a form of stability. It turned him into “a whole different person,” one more grounded and less volatile. Tyson’s relationship with cannabis stretches back decades. He’s previously said he “smoked every day,” even during exhibition fights. He owns a cannabis company, Tyson 2.0, and has publicly lobbied for cannabis rescheduling and reform. He argues that cannabis helped him escape destructive habits. “It changed my whole life around,” he told lawmakers during a push for legalization advocacy. More than business, Tyson frames his views as personal and transformational. He believes cannabis helped rescue him from past dependency on harder drugs.
DaBaby Calls Out “Fake Fans” After Bulls Jerseys Get Pulled Off For A Photo
DaBaby caused an unexpected moment during the Chicago Bulls’ Black Friday game against the Charlotte Hornets, but this time the headline had nothing to do with basketball. While moving through the Spectrum Center, the rapper ended up putting a spotlight on a pair of men who proved their Bulls gear didn’t necessarily mean loyalty. @_marquisrobinson Still can’t believe @Dababy made us strip to take a picture with him #dababy #charlottehornets #chicagobulls #viral #fyp ♬ original sound – Marquis A woman approached DaBaby asking for a photo, and he had no issue stopping for her. The two men with her, though, immediately ran into a problem. They were wearing Chicago Bulls jerseys, and DaBaby wasn’t interested in taking a picture with them while they had those on. He “flat-out refused to flick it up” unless the jerseys came off, and the men didn’t hesitate at all. Within moments, both guys removed their Bulls tops, agreeing “without blinking,” making it clear they were more eager to meet DaBaby than stand on any team pride. News of the situation reached Jeremih, who proudly represents Chicago. Once he saw the clip, his reaction made it clear he wasn’t impressed. The singer looked completely disappointed, even covering his face as if he couldn’t believe what the supposed fans had done. And honestly, it didn’t help that the jerseys they were wearing, classic Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman looks, leaned more toward trendy throwback fashion than genuine fandom. Meanwhile, DaBaby is set to appear at Penn State next, and it’s already sparking curiosity about what his fan encounters there might look like. After this Charlotte moment, it’s unclear whether certain jerseys will pass his personal rules for a photo. But one thing is certain: anyone hoping to snap a picture with him might want to think twice about what team they’re repping when they walk up.
Jada Pinkett Smith Facing $3M Lawsuit From Will Smith’s Former Assistant
Jada Pinkett-Smith is being sued by Will Smith’s former assistant. According to PEOPLE, Pinkett-Smith has been accused of threatening Bilaal Salaam. She allegedly said he would “end up missing” or “catch a bullet” if he continued “telling her business.” Salaam, who says he’s been a “best friend” of Will Smith for almost 40 years, claims he’s “worked closely” with the actor. He noted that he was included photos in the actor’s memoir Will.” Salaam claims that Pinkett Smith confronted him in the lobby of the Regency Calabasas Commons on Sept. 25, 2021, at a private birthday party. The lawsuit: The suit states that Pinkett Smith was accompanied by “approximately seven members of her entourage.” Salaam’s complaint says that Pinkett Smith then “became verbally aggressive” and demanded he sign an NDA. The filing states that Pinkett Smith followed Salaam to his car “while continuing to issue verbal threats.” Salaam also claims he refused a request to assist with “crisis management” following the Academy Awards after Smith slapped Chris Rock. “Plaintiff refused to perform tasks he believed were illegal, unethical, or morally compromising. His conscience would not allow him to be involved in any cover-up or deceptive PR campaign,” Salaam’s filing alleges. Salaam then claimed he received threats from Smith and Pinkett Smith’s circle, and that he was the target of a “retaliatory campaign.” He also alleges that when it was discovered that he was writing a “whistleblower memoir,” the “smear campaign heightened.” During an interview with Unwine With Tasha K, Salaam alleged he saw Smith engaging in a sexual act with actor Duane Martin. The filing also pointed to Pinkett Smith’s statement to TMZ. She staed that the couple “would pursue legal action in response to Salaam’s claims.” “Rather than pursue legal recourse or report actual crimes, Defendant intentionally and maliciously engaged in a smear campaign through nationally broadcast interviews,” Salaam’s lawsuit alleges. Salaam is seeking $3 million in financial damages.

Snow Tha Product sparked a wave of excitement across Instagram on November 30 after revealing that Bay Area rap star LaRussell had purchased her unreleased album, Before I Crashout, for a staggering $1,000. The moment unfolded in a breathless clip filmed outside a loud bar in downtown Los Angeles, where Snow told her 3.4 million followers she had stepped out mid-night to process what had just happened. “Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, guys,” she said, catching her breath as traffic blared behind her. “Sorry, Downtown L.A. is crazy. Anyway, I’m at a bar right now, and I just ran out because—” View this post on Instagram She cut herself off, flipping her phone toward the camera to reveal a $1,000 receipt. “Somebody just bought my project for $1,000 dollars, and you’re not going to believe who it was. LaRussell.” Snow explained that the preorder link for Before I Crashout, which drops December 12, isn’t public. LaRussell accesses it as a fan would. “You can’t even reach my link right now unless you’re like a superfan of mine, and you are DMing with me, or you’re on one of my special groups,” she said. “But LaRussell got the fucking link and bought my project for $1,000 fucking dollars.” Rap Star LaRussell Pays $1,000 For Snow Tha Product’s New Album Still buzzing, she added that she planned to call him immediately. “First of all, I’m about to call him right now ’cause he needs to drop that song that we fuckin’ had since like three months ago,” she joked, before pivoting back to the shock of the moment. She concluded: “I made my project be available for $5 dollars, between $5 dollars and whatever you want to spend on it. $1,000 dollars isn’t a bad start.” In her Instagram caption, Snow also credited LaRussell as a creative spark. “Bro…. @larussell is such a cool dude man! i was inspired by how he does ‘pay what u want’ stuff and community stuff n now i feel what it feels like to be supported like that. DAMN! the vision is CLEAR!” LaRussell responded in the comments with equal enthusiasm: “WE FUCK WITH YOU SNOW!!! KEEP SHOWING THE WAY!” For Snow, the moment doubled as validation—not just of the album, but of the independent, fan-direct ecosystem she’s built, and of the mutual respect between two artists pushing alternative models of support into the mainstream.

He praised 6ix9ine’s command over digital culture, noting the rapper’s ability to dominate online spaces and capture public attention. “You got so much— I know you got mad knowledge, bro,” Jackson said. “You carry the internet, my guy, I’m sorry.

This signals a potential collaboration that could bring a fresh perspective to their shared Brooklyn legacy.
Toosii Announces Commitment To Syracuse Football
Rap star Toosii is taking his football skills to New York, as he has committed to the Syracuse Orange football team in NCAA Division 1. On Monday, December 1, the platinum-selling artist, born Nau’Jour Grainger, revealed that he’s committing to play football for Syracuse University under new head coach Fran Brown. The news follows Toosii’s previous commitment to Sacramento State University. Toosii will join a red-hot Syracuse athletics department that includes NCAA basketball star Kiyan Anthony, son of retired NBA star Carmelo Anthony. View this post on Instagram Toosii shared the announcement with an emotional message that highlighted how personal the decision felt. “When Coach Fran called, I knew it was a sign from God… Cuse I’m coming home,” he wrote. The declaration hit especially hard for Syracuse residents who remember his early years in the city before his family moved to North Carolina, where his athletic and musical paths took shape. Even as his fame grew, he often referenced Syracuse as the place that shaped him. The move signals more than a headline-making pivot. For Toosii, it marks a return to identity and a reconnection to the environment that fueled his earliest ambitions. Toosii Joins NCAA Division 1 Syracuse Football Team He left Syracuse at twelve, entered a new football culture in the South, and eventually found his lane in music. His rise accelerated quickly, yet his connection to his hometown stayed strong. The decision to play Division I football reflects his desire to expand—not replace—his public identity. Earlier this year, he teased the possibility on social media, writing, “I’m chasing history. First multi-platinum recording artist to go back to school and play Division I football. Next year I’m gonna be on somebody’s team mark my words!” With this commitment, he makes good on that promise. The announcement also arrives as Syracuse football enters a new era. Coach Fran Brown has electrified the program with an energetic leadership style and strong recruiting presence. Adding a figure as visible as Toosii only intensifies the buzz. Still, Toosii knows he must earn a role like any athlete. Training, eligibility steps, and integration into the program lie ahead. What remains clear is the intention behind the move. Toosii sees this new chapter as a challenge grounded in discipline, endurance, and personal growth. It’s not a publicity stunt. It’s a homecoming. And for Syracuse, his return brings cultural energy that reaches beyond the field, blending hip-hop star power with hometown pride in a way the city hasn’t seen before.
Pleasure P: “Never Heard Bow Wow Or B2K Songs In The Club…”
Pleasure P is raising the stakes ahead of the Boys 4 Life Tour, calling out promoters, Bow Wow, and B2K after Pretty Ricky was noticeably missing from the tour’s early promotional flyers. In a candid Instagram video shared December 1, the singer confronted what he sees as a pattern of disrespect as the group prepares to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album, Bluestars. Directing his message to Bow Wow, B2K, Omarion, G-Squared Events, and the Black Promoters Collective, Pleasure P didn’t hold back. “Bow Wow, B2K, we want to be included in the promo of the tour,” he said, making it clear that Pretty Ricky expects equal visibility. “Gary Guidry, BPC, listen, I’m tired of y’all playing with Pretty Ricky, like Pretty Ricky ain’t them n***as… you know what I’m sayin’.” View this post on Instagram He also questioned the narrative around who carries the most weight on the tour. Pleasure P procceeded to suggest all the acts being celebrated together. “Bro, I’ve never went to the club and heard a Lil Bow Wow song or a B2K song. And I love everybody, but come on, bro,” he said, pushing back on what he views as selective promotion. “Y’all gotta stop making it about just one or two people. And just make it about everybody. We gotta work together.” Pleasure P Goes At Bow Wow & B2K Over Pretty Ricky’s Absence From Boys 4 Life Flyer The “Boyfriend #2” hitmaker is ready to prove the group’s star power against the other acts. As he continued, Pleasure P shifted from frustration to strategy, rallying Pretty Ricky’s loyal fanbase ahead of the tour’s kickoff. “All of my day one Pretty Ricky fans, y’all wear blue to every fuckin’ show for the Bluestars album,” he said. “We are celebrating 20 years of Pretty Ricky, 20 years of Bluestars — you know what I’m talkin’ about.” He concluded the video with the claim that Pretty Ricky has more hits than the others, which he wrote. “But listen, y’all ain’t got more hits than us… and I wrote that shit.” Pleasure P’s comments reveal potential tension that often surfaces when early-2000s R&B acts reunite under one tour. P’s message signals that Pretty Ricky expects recognition equal to their impact, particularly during such a milestone year. Whether promoters adjust their strategy remains unclear, but the singer has already reignited conversation around Pretty Ricky’s legacy. And with Bluestars turning 20, Pleasure P is making sure everyone remembers exactly why the group’s presence matters.
