d4vd is now at the center of growing scrutiny as investigators believe he may not have acted alone in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. A police source tells PEOPLE that the singer, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, “most likely had help dismembering and disposing of the body.” The source also claims that although Burke has not been charged, he “has not been cooperative” with detectives. This conflicts with a previous statement from his representative to NBC Los Angeles, who insisted he was “fully cooperating” with authorities. Rivas was found dead on September 8th inside the trunk of Burke’s impounded Tesla, just one day after she turned fifteen. The car had been abandoned in the Hollywood Hills for nearly a month, according to neighbors, and officers arrived only after people in the area reported a foul odor coming from the vehicle. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner later confirmed her identity and listed her cause and manner of death as “deferred.” The police source tells PEOPLE that investigators are “treating this like a homicide” and says the teen’s body was “decomposing when it was found in a plastic bag.” LAPD Captain Scot M. Williams previously stated that Rivas had been dead “several weeks prior to her body being discovered.” He also confirmed that a search warrant was served “at a residence near where the car was towed” on September 18th. A landlord told SFGate that d4vd and his manager had been staying at the property but moved out shortly after authorities seized electronics and other materials, though Williams did not confirm what was taken. Rivas had been reported missing multiple times in 2024 according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Speculation has spread online about whether she knew the “Romantic Homicide” singer, especially after officials noted she had a “Shhh” tattoo that matched one on d4vd. Her family said they were “heartbroken and devastated by this tragic loss.”
De La Soul Opens Up on Grief, Evolution & Legacy
De La Soul stopped by HOT 97 to talk to Nessa about their 10th studio album Cabin in the Sky, out November 21. They looked back on more than 30 years in hip hop, what longevity really feels like, and why they never actually took a “break” even when there were long gaps between albums. They opened up about the nine-year wait since the last project, label and catalog battles, almost doing a full album with Pete Rock and DJ Premier, and how COVID and real life slowed things down but also made them more intentional about quality. They also talked about the grind of touring, keeping their health in check on the road, and whether they feel more at home in the studio or on stage. Nessa and De La got into the heart behind Cabin in the Sky—what the title means to them after losing Dave, how his voice and production are still woven into the project, and how grief, joy, and honest emotion shaped the songs. They discussed how they decide which tracks actually make an album, staying true to their sound while evolving, and what it’s like to see three generations of fans at their shows. They also touched on working with Mass Appeal and Nas, their influence on skits and album storytelling, the Marvel comic collab, the song dedicated to their moms, and the legacy they want people to remember when they think of De La Soul. De La Soul’s new album, Cabin in the Sky, is out November 21.
Kanye West (Ye) Says “Life” Is A Fashion Trend He Regrets Partaking In New Interview
Kanye West’s latest stop in Tokyo produced another unscripted fashion moment as the rapper and designer appeared in a brief street-style interview posted November 20 by Mystery Fashion. The clip, filmed on a crowded Tokyo sidewalk, follows the platform’s quick-hit format, but West’s presence shifts the exchange into something more revealing than a routine style check. The interview opens with AJ’s standard greeting, asking his guest to introduce himself and name his hometown. West responds with a tight, assured cadence: “I’m Ye, I’m from Chi.” @mysteryfashionist @Ye Filmed by @biig_c Interviewed by @ajay_porter Location Tokyo Japan #tokyo #ye #kanye #fashion ♬ original sound – Mystery Fashionist The shorthand introduction reaffirms how he prefers to frame himself in public — as a Chicago artist whose identity remains central to his ever-expanding creative orbit. The line also sets the tone for a casual but unmistakably high-wattage moment unfolding in the middle of Tokyo’s fashion district. When AJ shifts to the usual Mystery Fashion question — asking West to rate his fit and name the designers he’s wearing — West answers with the kind of swagger that has defined his fashion narrative for more than a decade. “Oh, it’s always a 10-out-of-10,” he says. Kanye West (Ye) Says “Life” Is A Fashion Trend He Regrets In Mystery Fashion Interview He then points to the “original Yeezy 950 boots,” anchoring the look, a callback to his early design era that still carries cult significance. West adds that the rest of his outfit comes from Russian designer Gosha Rubchinskiy, explaining that “Gosha did the pop-up today.” The nod situates West inside Tokyo’s current creative pulse, reinforcing his ongoing interest in scenes that blur the lines between streetwear, youth culture, and underground aesthetics. Ye has always credited Tokyo, Japan, as a source of his fashion inspiration. The interview takes an abrupt turn when AJ asks which past trend he regrets participating in. West shakes his head before offering a single-word answer: “Life.” The comment lands as both a punchline and an existential aside, a reminder of how easily West veers toward the philosophical even in the most lightweight settings. It reads as a joke, a critique, or a reflection of his turbulent public arc — depending on how one chooses to receive it. Brief as it is, the clip distills the elements that continue to define West’s presence abroad: humor, bravado, and the unfiltered commentary that follows him through every fashion capital he touches.
Bizzy Bone Says Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s Upcoming Cleveland Concert Will Be Last Together
Bizzy Bone is signaling a major shift inside Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, using a blunt Instagram Story on November 15 to announce what he says will be the group’s final performance with all five original members. Posting under his username @mrmccane, the Cleveland legend wrote, “1 more show with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. 1 last show with all original members. 11/29/25. After that, NO MORE!!!! Since we can’t seem to stop lying… How bow dat!” Bizzy post on IG. What is wrong with these dudes? byu/Haunting-Mortgage inbonethugsnharmony The message arrived ahead of the crew’s highly anticipated hometown concert at The Agora on November 29, billed as a full reunion featuring Bizzy Bone, Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, Flesh-N-Bone, and Wish Bone. Bizzy’s wording framed the show as a definitive ending rather than another nostalgic gathering. By repeating “1 more show” and “1 last show,” he signaled to fans that the group’s classic lineup is nearing its final bow. The post served as both an announcement and a warning, suggesting that the Cleveland date marks the last time the original members will share a stage. Bizzy Bone Claims Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s Cleveland Show Will Be Last His follow-up line — “After that, NO MORE!!!!” — carried the frustration of someone reaching a breaking point. Bizzy has never shied away from discussing internal friction, and the all-caps emphasis read like a clear declaration that he is finished navigating the issues that have long complicated the group’s attempts at unity. But the sharpest part of the message came with, “Since we can’t seem to stop lying…” Aimed at unnamed parties, the line hinted at disagreements over public narratives surrounding the group’s future. Bizzy appeared to accuse someone within the Bone Thugs circle of misleading fans about the state of their collaboration or the likelihood of more reunion shows. Though indirect, the accusation added fuel to years of speculation about the crew’s behind-the-scenes dynamic. He punctuated the message with “How bow dat!” A sarcastic sign-off that highlights his irritation and his willingness to call things out without restraint. With one post, Bizzy Bone cast the November 29 concert as both a celebration and a farewell. His caption made clear that while the legacy remains intact, the original lineup’s chapter is closing under the weight of unresolved tension and a desire for honesty moving forward.
Ice Spice Slams Troll Over “Too Much Make-Up” Comment
Ice Spice used her November 18 Twitch livestream to shut down a troll who tried to criticize her appearance, delivering a sharp, confident response that quickly went viral. The Bronx rapper was reading comments in real time when one user wrote, “I gotta see no makeup,” suggesting she remove her cosmetics on camera. Ice Spice didn’t let the remark slide. View this post on Instagram Instead, she fired back with a line that immediately set the tone for the exchange: “You gotta see some money, honey. You gotta open your bank account and see.” Her comeback flipped the viewer’s demand on its head. Rather than entertain the idea that she owed anyone a bare-faced look, Ice Spice redirected the scrutiny back at the commenter. The rapper, who has built her public persona on self-assurance and unbothered cool, used the moment to mock the entitlement embedded in the request. Her message was simple: check your finances before you try to check her appearance. Ice Spice Addresses Troll Who Said They Wanted To See Her Bare Face on Twitch She doubled down a moment later, making it clear that she wasn’t here to validate anyone’s curiosity. “You ain’t gotta see no make-up — the fuck,” she said, brushing off the expectation that she should comply with random demands from strangers online. The remark spoke to a larger dynamic many women in hip-hop continue to navigate — constant commentary on their looks and a belief that fans are owed visual access at all times. Ice Spice’s refusal underscored her own boundaries and highlighted her comfort in pushing back in real time. The rapper ended the exchange with a final note that cut to the heart of the comment’s premise. “Also, I’m barely wearing make-up, babe,” she added, pointing out that the viewer’s assumption wasn’t even accurate. Ice Spice has been defending her looks since she originally burst onto the scene in 2020. She has always addressed the social media commentary head-on. The moment captured why Ice Spice remains one of rap’s most self-possessed rising stars. Her livestream response blended humor, confidence, and control, reinforcing that access to her image — with or without makeup — isn’t something anyone can demand.
Cardi B & Stefon Diggs Shares First Photo With New Son
Cardi B is celebrating a new addition to her family. The rapper announced the birth of her child with New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs in an Instagram post that immediately drew attention from fans across entertainment and sports. She shared a photo of herself holding the newborn and marked the moment with the date Nov. 4, alongside emojis of a teddy bear, a heart, and a football. The couple has not yet revealed the baby’s name, though the child appeared wrapped in a blue Patriots blanket embroidered with “Diggs.” The baby wore a matching hat decorated with footballs and the family name. View this post on Instagram The reveal came only two days after Cardi B was spotted cheering on the Patriots during their close 24–23 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Nov. 2. Watching the game from team owner Robert Kraft’s private box, she drew a loud reaction from the home crowd when the stadium cameras showed her on the video board. Cardi B & Stefon Diggs Share New Baby Photo Cardi responded by performing Diggs’ signature celebration, covering one eye and extending her arm in a playful wave. The clip spread across social media, fueling speculation that the couple had already welcomed their child. Her Nov. 4 timestamp confirmed that the birth followed soon after the appearance. Diggs, 31, remains one of the Patriots’ key offensive players, leading the team with 59 receptions for 659 yards and three touchdowns this season. Though he typically avoids discussing family matters in interviews, this week’s events offered a rare glimpse into his life off the field. On Monday, Diggs hosted his annual Game Day of Giving at Gillette Stadium. He invited more than 100 families to the team’s field-level lounge for an evening focused on winter support and holiday cheer. Guests received warm clothing, enjoyed a catered meal, and participated in activities such as crafts, face painting, and music from a live DJ. The event highlighted Diggs’ ongoing commitment to community outreach as the colder months approach. When reporters later asked how he spent the team’s extended weekend, Diggs kept his answer simple. “I saw my son. I saw some of my kids. That’s important to me,” he said. His words added a personal touch to the couple’s announcement and offered a quiet confirmation of their growing family.
Fast & Furious Sexual Battery Lawsuit Against Vin Diesel Dismissed
A Los Angeles judge has cleared the remaining claims in a sexual battery and retaliation lawsuit filed against Fast & Furious actor Vin Diesel, shutting down the case at the trial-court level but leaving the door open for further litigation. The suit, brought by former assistant Asta Jonasson, stemmed from allegations tied to the 2010 production of Fast Five, part of Universal’s long-running Fast & Furious franchise. Jonasson’s attorney, Matthew Hale, said his client intends to appeal. “The Court did not decide anything about the truth of Ms. Asta Jonasson’s allegations,” Hale told Deadline, arguing the dismissal “was based on a legal technicality.” View this post on Instagram Judge Daniel M. Crowley’s ruling focused on jurisdiction rather than the underlying claims. “It is undisputed that the alleged sexual assault took place in Atlanta, Georgia,” he wrote. Jonasson filed her lawsuit under a California statute, the Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act, which lifts certain statute-of-limitations barriers. Crowley found that the law does not extend beyond California’s borders and cannot govern alleged conduct in another state. He noted that California statutes carry no extraterritorial effect unless expressly stated by the Legislature, which he said was not the case here. Vin Diesel’s Fast & Furious Ex-Assistant’s Sexual Battery Lawsuit Dismissed By Los Angeles Judge The judge reached a similar conclusion earlier this year. He dismissed four other claims brought under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act. Wednesday’s ruling disposed of the remaining causes of action and emphasized again that “California law cannot be applied to any of plaintiff’s claims.” Jonasson alleges Diesel assaulted her in an Atlanta hotel suite in 2010 during the filming of Fast Five. She claims she resisted and that Diesel, her employer at the time, used his authority to overpower her. She further alleges she was fired hours later by Diesel’s sister and producing partner, Samantha Vincent. Diesel has denied the accusations since the filing of the suit. His attorney, Bryan Freedman, called the allegations false and said their age underscored their lack of credibility. After the ruling, Freedman said, “We are grateful that the court put an end to this meritless lawsuit.” At a recent hearing, Hale argued the case belonged in California. Diesel and Jonasson lived in the state, and because she was hired through Diesel’s California-based company, One Race Productions. Diesel’s attorneys countered that the allegations described an out-of-state event and should be litigated, if at all, in Georgia. Crowley agreed. Jonasson’s promised appeal ensures the dispute surrounding the Fast & Furious star will remain active.

In the wake of these exchanges, Offset appears to have withdrawn from social media, deactivating both his Instagram and Twitter/X accounts.

Call police,” he wrote, adding, “Keep [naming] me stand on it too all you p*****s,” signaling the depth of his discontent while keeping the dispute in the public eye. Understanding the Beef Offset’s dismissal of Finesse2tymes went further, questioning, “What I look like beefing with a BBL?” The remark aimed to discredit Finesse2tymes while adding a side jab about focusing on personal fitness.

Offset confirmed he addressed YG privately, stating, “I dm the p***y too,” showing his preference for handling some matters off social media. YG’s lyrics touched on themes of survival and authenticity, connecting personal experiences to broader challenges in the music industry. His words highlighted how rivalries are often interconnected, demonstrating the nuanced layers of influence and reputation in hip-hop culture.
