R&B singer Ray J is at the center of a new viral moment after a clip from his appearance at the Night Out party on Nov. 22 showed him calling his ex-wife, Princess Love, on FaceTime — and asking if they could get back together — while standing across from his new girlfriend, Shila Hasanoff. The awkward exchange unfolded after the event’s host dared him to choose between three challenges: “Call your ex on speaker, ask to get back together, or have a dance off.” Ray J called his ex-wife Princess Love to ask if they can get back together right in front of his current girlfriend Sheila pic.twitter.com/0dfHbW9b4R — Slime (@ItsKingSlime) November 22, 2025 With the crowd watching and cameras pointed at him, the host pushed Ray J to make a choice. “Well, what you gonna do?” he asked. Ray J glanced toward Shila before offering a nervous smile. “Well, I got Shila here with me. Hi, Shila,” he said, waving to her as she attempted to stay composed beside him. Instead of choosing the dance-off, Ray J pulled out his phone and placed a FaceTime call to Princess Love. “Hi Princess… What’s up, Princess,” he said as she answered. Without hesitation, he followed the dare exactly as instructed: “Uhhh. Can we get back together?” Ray J Asks Ex-Wife Princess Love To Get Back Together In Front Of Girlfriend Shila Hasanoff Princess Love’s reaction was immediate — and blunt. “Fuck no… Am I getting punk’d right now?” she asked, visibly confused by the unexpected question, especially coming from her ex-husband during a public event. Ray J immediately clarified that the call wasn’t serious. “Alright, it was a dare, so I did the dare… Thank you for telling me. I just wanted to know,” he told her, attempting to smooth over the uncomfortable moment. Still unsure of what was happening, Princess asked again, “Am I getting punk’d… no?” Ray J shook his head and replied, “No, you’re not getting punk’d.” The clip ended with Princess looking stunned, while Shila remained quiet beside Ray J as he laughed awkwardly. Within hours, the video spread across social media, sparking memes, commentary, and renewed interest in Ray J and Princess Love’s turbulent history. Fans debated Ray’s decision to complete the dare in front of his new partner, while others noted Princess Love’s unfiltered response as the standout moment. The viral exchange has since fueled fresh curiosity about the former couple’s past — and raised questions about Ray J’s timing and judgment during the highly publicized challenge.

Joe Budden is setting the record straight about Melyssa Ford and the changing cast on The Joe Budden Podcast. During a new episode of Artist 2 Artist released Nov. 21, the media personality addressed Melyssa Ford’s absence and whether the longtime co-host had been quietly replaced. Sitting across from Jim Jones, Budden made it clear that Ford wasn’t fired—and the shake-up wasn’t the result of behind-the-scenes drama. Jones kicked off the conversation head-on: “Is Melyssa still a part of the show or not, or is it just Mona [Don’t Call Me White Girl] a part of the show now?” Jim jones asking Joe budden if dont call me white girl was a swap for Melyssa Ford on the show . pic.twitter.com/g223r5IEs0 — joebuddenclips/fanpage (@chatnigga101) November 24, 2025 Budden didn’t hesitate. “I didn’t do a swap… I didn’t do a swap,” he repeated. “Melyssa stepped away, and Mona—we was negotiating for, for quite some time. Shouts out to Melyssa, we love her.” His tone left no doubt that Ford’s exit was voluntary and respected. Jones shifted the focus to Mona, who joined the podcast earlier this year and has quickly become a standout voice. “She is one of the most funniest… like touch your soul funny,” he said. “Just her talk… She ain’t even gotta be funny. Her walk in, and you see her, you just want to laugh. She has that aura to her.” Joe Budden Confirms He Did Not Fire Melyssa Ford From The Joe Budden Podcast For Jones, Mona’s presence added a spark that immediately changed the show’s chemistry. “When I seen her on the couch, I was like, ‘Oh, now this show just got some more legs, ’cause this girl is a whole show on her own… Shout to you, Mona… You did that, girl. Show out time now.’” Budden echoed the praise, revealing he had eyed Mona for years. “She’s been on time, just as funny as I imagined,” he said. “I’ve been plotting on Mona for a while… she was in whatever contract she was there.” Jones added that he had pushed her early on: “Even when she was with Gille and Wallo… That girl got some shit with her… I’m glad she with you.” Budden closed the topic with a metaphor only he could deliver: “It’s only so long you can contain good talent like that… The dogs get big and gotta leave the cage at some point. So Mona is great. We love Mel. Shout out to her.” The exchange confirmed what fans suspected: Ford stepped away on her own terms, and Mona’s rise marks a new chapter—not a replacement—in the ever-shifting world of Budden’s hit podcast.

Jhené Aiko Delivers Heartfelt Speech At Give Her FlowHERS Gala Many speculated about what may have contributed to the hardships she referenced. Many wondered whether Aiko was alluding to the emotional impact of her recent breakup, though she did not mention any names onstage. Aiko then contrasted her current struggles with a period she described as peaceful and centered. “A few years ago, I was in a really good, balanced, serene place, and I was all of love and light, and I was playing sound bowls, and I was super zen,” she said. She added that during that time she was “starting my wellness business, gotoheal.com,” a project built around mindfulness and healing. The singer’s reflection on the difference between past calm and this year’s turbulence sparked even more conversation online, but Aiko kept her message grounded in gratitude. By focusing on the people she calls her “tribe” and the healing practices she continues to lean on, she offered a heartfelt reminder of resilience — even as she chose to keep the details of her struggles private.

Offset is facing new scrutiny after Instagram model Jordyn Gorr publicly shared what she claims are leaked text messages from the Migos star — and suggested he attempted to involve her in an alleged setup targeting NFL player Stefon Diggs, who shares a child with Cardi B. The accusations spread quickly across social media after Gorr posted a screenshot carousel and a provocative caption aimed squarely at the rapper. “@offsetyrn keep violating me but stay in my phone asking me to help set up Stefon,” she wrote, adding three crying-laughing emojis before calling him “super tender” alongside a shrimp emoji. The mention of Diggs immediately sparked confusion among fans, many of whom questioned how the Bills wide receiver was connected to the exchange. The leaked texts follow accusations by Cardi B of Offset spreading rumors about her new child. View this post on Instagram The screenshots Gorr posted began with a friendly message she said she sent following Offset’s release of his album. “Congratulations on the album!!” she wrote, adding a flame emoji. A number saved as Offset allegedly responded, “Thankssss.” From there, the tone shifted. According to Gorr, messages from October 3 and November 16 painted a far different picture. On October 3, the contact allegedly wrote, “Wya.” Model Jordyn Gorr Alleges Offset Tried To Set Up Cardi B’s Boyfriend Stefon Diggs On November 16, the messages escalated, with the alleged sender writing, “Opp ass n*a. Give drop or don’t come back around.**” Gorr replied, “Delete these texts.” The person identified as Offset then allegedly sent another instruction: “Finsta now send message.” Moments later came a simple “Yo.” Gorr responded, “wyd,” and the contact allegedly answered, “In my room.” She then wrote, “call me,” and he replied once more with “wya.” Gorr paired the screenshots with her claim that the rapper asked her to help “set up” Diggs — a suggestion that pushed the story from casual gossip into a viral controversy that dominated TikTok, X, and Instagram comment sections over the weekend. Online, fans debated whether the texts supported her allegation or simply hinted at private communication between the two. Others questioned the authenticity of the screenshots and Gorr’s motives for releasing them. As of now, Offset, Diggs, and Cardi B have not publicly commented on the claims, leaving the online conversation swirling around speculation, unanswered questions, and growing curiosity about the dynamics behind the scenes.

In the audio, she can be heard expressing happiness for their engagement while still wanting time with him, and one particular moment fans can’t stop reacting to is her saying she would not mind if Rich saved her contact as “Pizza Hut.” View this post on Instagram Once the recording spread across social media, Rich The Kid offered his side of the story.

To keep him out of trouble, she bought him a real drum kit. He honed his skills by listening to the radio.  “When I moved here, Black radio was only on for four hours from 1 to 5 in the afternoon,” Jellybean said. “That forced me to listen to a lot of white rock stations. That’s how I got into Three Dog Night and Black Sabbath and Red Earth and all those kinds of people and stuff, and that changed me too musically.” Johnson would eventually meet other teenage musicians such as Prince, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and Morris Day. “We had to be 14, 15,16 years old. Oh yeah, we started early, honey. Yes, we did,” said Johnson. His love of music kept him busy. “That kept us off the streets; we had a place where we could go and practice our craft,” said Johnson. Johnsons would go on to form The Time with Jam, Lewis, Monte Moir, Jesse Johnson, and Jerome Benton. They would go on to record several albums and classic songs, including  “Get It Up”, “The Bird”, “Cool”, “777-9311”, “Jungle Love” and “Jerk Out”.

The vision was to “educate, celebrate and create, while also providing an environment to learn, gather and showcase artistry that preserves and fosters the Minneapolis Sound genre.”

Ja Rule found himself in the spotlight today following reports of a physical confrontation on November 21. Almost immediately, 50 Cent took to social media to mock the situation, fueling discussions across Twitter and other platforms and stirring interest within the hip-hop community. The initial report came from Tasha K, who announced via social media that Ja Rule had allegedly been attacked outside Sei Less restaurant in New York. She tweeted, “BREAKING! I Just got word that Ja Rule was Jumped TONIGHT outside of New York Restaurant Sei Less! I’m being told it was pretty phucking bad! | Story Developing…” Her post prompted swift speculation online. Ja Rule quickly disputed much of her account while confirming that an incident did occur. He responded, “Tasha, why you lying to these good ppl? Yes, some btch as n****s tried to jump me. No it wasn’t at Sei Less, and I’m chilling, smoking a joint, watching SVP with not a scratch on me.” He also posted a video showing he was unharmed, contradicting claims of serious injury. View this post on Instagram Questions Around Max B 50 Cent weighed in with his signature provocation, tweeting, “Now who would do a thing like that? Just [boxing glove emoji] punched him all in his milk dud head. LOL.” His comments continue a long history of playful but pointed exchanges with Ja Rule. Nonetheless, the involvement of Max B also remains unclear. Available video from the scene is low-quality and offers no concrete details about identities or injuries. Max B addressed the rumors directly: “Don’t tie me or my people to anything negative. We grown; we on positive vibes only.” Despite online chatter linking him to Ja Rule’s confrontation, there is no verified evidence supporting any connection. For now, both sides appear intent on keeping their distance from the incident, letting the matter play out online.
