Rapper NBA Youngboy’s associate, NBA Ben10, real name Ben Anthony Fields, is among three shot in Baton Rouge on Tuesday (May 14) — according to a news report by WBRZ 2. This marks the second time NBA Ben10 has been shot in a month, following a shooting incident involving him and another recording artist after a fight with Detroit rapper Allstar Jr inside Houston’s Confessions restaurant. Fields, whose legal name is Ben Anthony Fields, was identified by sources as one of three individuals struck by gunfire on Wells Street. Authorities have not publicly disclosed the circumstances that led to the shooting, and no arrests had been announced as of Tuesday. Fields and the other victims were transported to a hospital in a private vehicle, according to WBRZ. The Baton Rouge shooting follows an April shooting at Confessions, a restaurant in Houston’s Upper Kirby neighborhood. Fields was also wounded. Rapper NBA Youngboy’s associate, NBA Ben10, Was shot again in Baton Rouge, A Month After Houston Shooting Houston-area media reports said the shooting occurred during what investigators described as an attempted robbery. According to those reports, an individual allegedly drew a firearm after others tried to snatch his chains. Rapper Allstar Jr opened fire inside the crowded restaurant. Between 20 and 30 patrons were inside the venue at the time, and two people were struck. Authorities said it remains unclear whether the victims were involved in the attempted robbery. The alleged shooter fled before officers arrived. In a statement issued after the incident, the restaurant said it does not condone violence. It reads, “To ensure the continued protection of everyone who walks through our doors.” Fields has long been part of NBA YoungBoy’s inner circle. He has frequently appeared alongside the Baton Rouge rapper in music videos and social media posts.

Drake’s upcoming album, ICEMAN, is now just hours away from release, set to arrive on May 15. The final stretch has sharpened anticipation among listeners. They have been watching the rollout unfold in real time. As a result, they are tracking every hint and rumor leading up to the drop. The project carries added weight because it arrives after Drake’s widely publicized back-and-forth with Kendrick Lamar. That context has turned the release into something larger than a routine album cycle. Expectations are running high across both fans and critics. In the absence of an official single, attention has increasingly shifted toward unofficial leaks circulating online. Late in the evening, a track titled “1 AM In Albany” surfaced across digital platforms. It quickly drew attention for its tone and content. The nearly five-minute record finds Drake in a direct, conversational mode. He addresses a range of figures in the music and sports world. At one point, he references Kendrick Lamar with a line that blends humor and provocation, rapping, “Muggsy Bogues dunked for once, even I’m a bit amazed, someone give the kid a raise.” Drake Broadens Aim as ‘1 AM In Albany’ Fuels ICEMAN Speculation The record also appears to widen its scope beyond music. Drake directs lines toward LeBron James, alluding to perceived shifts in public allegiance during recent cultural debates. Then, he turns his focus to J. Cole, whom he frames as having stepped back from the fray. “I shouldn’t even be shocked to see you in that arena, because you always made your career off of switching teams up,” he raps. “Please stop asking what’s going on with 23 & me, I’m a real n****, and he’s not, it’s in my DNA.” Whether “1 AM In Albany” ultimately appears on ICEMAN has not been confirmed. Still, its sudden emergence has added another layer of speculation around the project’s final shape. As the release approaches, Drake’s focus—and the public’s attention—remains fixed. They want to see how directly the album engages with the rivalries that have defined his recent chapter.

Another disturbance at the home of Chris Brown drew police to Tarzana on Wednesday night after a man allegedly entered the property and attempted to start a fire near the residence. According to TMZ, officers were dispatched shortly before 7 p.m. local time. This followed reports of an intruder trying to gain access to the singer’s gated estate. Investigators say the man was initially seen outside the entrance before climbing over a fence. He then made his way onto the grounds. Someone inside the residence confronted the individual before authorities arrived. Afterward, officers later detained him at the scene without further escalation. The caller reportedly told police the man was familiar to those connected to the property and had allegedly caused previous issues. Law enforcement booked the suspect on a trespassing charge. However, officials have not publicly identified him. A formal trespass report was also completed as the investigation moved forward. The episode adds to a growing string of security concerns surrounding Brown’s home in recent months. In an earlier incident, a security guard stationed at the property allegedly discharged a CO2-style weapon during a confrontation with a woman accused of striking the guard’s foot with her vehicle. Brown was reportedly at the residence during that encounter. Though authorities said he was not directly involved. As Chris Brown Returns to the Charts, Attention Shifts Beyond the Music For the Grammy-winning singer, the latest headlines arrive at a moment when attention has begun shifting back toward music. Brown, his newest release, is projected to open inside the top five of the Billboard 200. This continues the commercial consistency that has followed much of his career. The album, however, has generated sharply divided reactions from critics and listeners alike. Some reviews praised its ambition while others dismissed the project entirely, including a widely discussed 1.3 score from Pitchfork. Even so, Brown remains one of R&B’s most commercially durable figures. But incidents surrounding his personal life and properties continue to compete with the music itself for public attention. As a result, his name stays in headlines for reasons far beyond the charts.

DJ Khaled is turning heads this spring after debuting a dramatic physical transformation that showcases a significant weight loss. The Grammy-winning artist, known for his high-energy personality and motivational slogans, has been documentating his health journey on social media, leaving fans and industry peers impressed by his slimmer physique. The producer was recently spotted at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens during the CFP National Championship game between the Miami Hurricanes and the Indiana Hoosiers. Observers noted that the “All I Do Is Win” artist appeared significantly leaner and moved with increased confidence as he walked the field. While Khaled has shared glimpses of his fitness routines over the years, his latest appearance represents the most drastic change in his appearance to date. Khaled has not yet detailed the specific regimen behind the results, but he has expressed a newfound sense of self-assurance in recent public appearances and digital posts. The timing of the reveal coincides with anticipation for his upcoming studio album, “Aalam of God.” As he prepares to launch his new musical era, the visible commitment to his health serves as a secondary promotion for his brand of relentless self-improvement. For a man whose brand is built on “more life” and success, his recent health milestone appears to be his latest win.

Veteran actress Pam Grier is once again making headlines, this time for candid remarks about aging and intimacy. The 76-year-old film icon shared the surprising claim during a recent podcast appearance. Her comments quickly drew widespread attention across entertainment media. Grier made the remarks while speaking with Julia Louis-Dreyfus on the podcast Wiser Than Me. The conversation turned personal when she was asked whether she still feels young. “Yes, I do, because when you’re young, you can have three, four, five orgasms in an hour,” Grier said. “But when you get my age, you have one orgasm, it’ll last three days.” Louis-Dreyfus reacted with surprise and curiosity during the exchange. “Like, what are you doing down there to get a three-day orgasm?” she asked. Grier responded with humor and confidence. “You don’t have to do anything, but when it happens, I just wanna tell you, you just be prepared,” she said. “It’s gonna be three whole days.”  A Candid Voice on Aging and Sexuality Grier’s remarks highlight her long-standing openness about personal topics. The actress rose to fame in the 1970s with roles in films like Coffy and Foxy Brown. She has since remained a cultural figure known for bold performances and outspoken interviews. In recent years, Grier has spoken more freely about her personal life. She has described herself as independent and still actively dating later in life. Her latest comments add to a broader discussion about aging and sexuality. Experts and public figures have increasingly addressed how intimacy evolves over time. Grier framed her experience as part of getting older, not something requiring effort or technique.  She also joked that such experiences might have changed her earlier life. “If I could have had that when I was younger, I would have had a better life and better boyfriends,” she said. A Life Beyond Hollywood Stereotypes Grier has long defied expectations both on and off screen. She has never married but has had relationships with several high-profile figures. Those include athletes and entertainers during her decades in Hollywood. Despite her fame, she has often emphasized personal independence. She currently lives a quieter life, splitting time between projects and a ranch lifestyle. Her recent interviews suggest she remains focused on growth and self-discovery. She has also referenced a current romantic partner, describing the relationship as meaningful. Grier’s latest remarks, while humorous, reflect a broader theme in her public life. She continues to challenge assumptions about aging, particularly for women in entertainment. As conversations around longevity and quality of life expand, voices like Grier’s are gaining attention. Her perspective blends humor, experience and a refusal to conform to traditional narratives. For now, her comments have sparked both curiosity and conversation. They also reaffirm her status as a figure unafraid to speak openly, even decades into her career.

Jason Collins, who made history as the first openly gay NBA player, has passed away. He was 47. ​According to ESPN, he passed from brain cancer after being diagnosed with Stage 4 glioblastoma, which is one of the deadliest forms of the disease. ​Seeking hope abroad, he traveled to Singapore last winter for experimental treatments unavailable in the U.S. Collins returned home to enjoy NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles and visited his alma mater, Stanford. But the reprieve was short-lived. Following a recent recurrence of the cancer, Collins passed away peacefully in his Los Angeles home, held close by his family. ​Collin’s family confirmed his passing in a statement released through the NBA. ​”We are heartbroken to share that Jason Collins, our beloved husband, son, brother, and uncle, has died after a valiant fight with glioblastoma,” the statement read. “Jason changed lives in unexpected ways. And he was an inspiration to all who knew him and to those who admired him from afar. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and prayers over the past eight months. And for the exceptional medical care Jason received from his doctors and nurses. Our family will miss him dearly.” 13-year NBA veteran Jason Collins died on Tuesday at 47 years old after he was diagnosed with Stage 4 glioblastoma. Jason was a trailblazer and a light to all that surrounded him, @RamonaShelburne takes us through his story. pic.twitter.com/YLu3naRmaQ — NBA on ESPN (@ESPNNBA) May 13, 2026 ​Adam Silver, NBA commissioner, also released a statement paying tribute to Collins. ​“Jason Collins’ impact and influence extended far beyond basketball as he helped make the NBA, WNBA, and larger sports community more inclusive and welcoming for future generations.  He exemplified outstanding leadership and professionalism throughout his 13-year NBA career. And in his dedicated work as an NBA Cares Ambassador.  Jason will be remembered not only for breaking barriers. But also for the kindness and humanity that defined his life and touched so many others. “On behalf of the NBA, I send my heartfelt condolences to Jason’s husband, Brunson, and his family, friends, and colleagues across our leagues.” In his 13-year NBA career, Collins played for the New Jersey Nets, Memphis Grizzlies, Minnesota Timberwolves, Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, and the  Washington Wizards. During his final season, he returned to the Nets after they moved to Brooklyn.   Penning an essay in Sports Illustrated, Collins officially came out in April 2013. “I didn’t set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I’m happy to start the conversation,” he wrote. “I wish I wasn’t the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, ‘I’m different.” If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I’m raising my hand.” After retiring from a 13-season playing career, Jason Collins transitioned into a significant off-court role as an NBA Ambassador. In this capacity, he has focused on community outreach, league representation, and promoting inclusive environments within the sport. Last week, Jason was honored with the inaugural Bill Walton Global Champion Award at the Green Sports Alliance Summit. Because he was to be in attendance, his twin brother Jarron accepted the award on his behalf. “I told my brother this before I came here: He’s the bravest, strongest man I’ve ever known,” Jarron Collins said while accepting the award. He is survived by his husband, Brunson Green; parents, Portia and Paul Collins; and twin brother, Jarron.

Cardi B is brushing off the internet chatter after a video of her heated exchange with boyfriend Stefon Diggs went viral this week. On Wednesday, May 13, the Bronx rap superstar responded on X with a characteristically candid explanation after fans dissected footage of the couple arguing outside a coffee shop in Burtonsville, Maryland. “Sometimes I forget I’m a celebrity… damn y’all ain’t never cuss your babydad out when you hungry?” Cardi wrote, downplaying the tense moment with the humor. Sometimes I forget I’m a celebrity… damn y’all ain’t never cuss your babydad out when you hungry? — Cardi B (@iamcardib) May 14, 2026 The viral clip sparked concern because it surfaced just days after Cardi B and Stefon Diggs appeared united at the former New England Patriots wide receiver’s Mother’s Day charity event, fueling speculation that the pair had recently patched things up after breakup rumors. Rather than feed into the drama, Cardi framed the incident as an ordinary lovers’ quarrel. Cardi B Addresses Viral Argument With Stefon Diggs At Maryland Coffee Shop Her tweet suggested that the confrontation had less to do with major relationship trouble and more to do with the universal irritability that comes with being hungry. In classic Cardi fashion, she turned a potentially messy moment into a relatable joke. Fans flooded her replies with mixed reactions. One user called out what they viewed as a double standard, writing, “Cardi forgetting she’s rich & cussing Offset out when hungry is cute until it’s a man doing it. Then it’s ‘toxic masculinity’ & a DV report.” Another follower offered caution, commenting, “Not in public dear and not when he’s making you look like a fool.” Meanwhile, one fiercely loyal supporter joked, “Girl let us know if we need to catch a flight to jump him, WE DONT MIND!” For Cardi, the message was clear: celebrity status doesn’t exempt anyone from having a bad day—or an argument over coffee when hunger strikes.

Hip-Hop star Cardi B and NFL star Stefon Diggs are back together, but it appears there is already trouble in paradise as the rapper is seen in a huge public argument with the former New England Patriots’ wide receiver. Just days after the couple appeared affectionate at Diggs’ Mother’s Day charity event, they were photographed in what appeared to be a tense conversation outside a coffee shop and gym in Burtonsville, Maryland. Cardi B and Stefon Diggs were seen arguing outside a coffee shop in Maryland. pic.twitter.com/JYMQItdS1l — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) May 13, 2026 In a video shared online, Cardi, 33, was seen speaking animatedly to Diggs, 32, while his arms were folded. At one point, a man accompanying the rapper placed a hand on her shoulder, trying to calm the situation. TMZ, which first reported the encounter, cited a source who said Cardi was overheard telling Diggs, “That bitch is messy.” Neither Cardi nor Diggs has publicly commented on the exchange. Reconciled Rapper Cardi B & NFL Star Stefon Diggs Seen In Huge Argument At Maryland Coffee Shop The apparent disagreement came shortly after Cardi made a surprise appearance at the Diggs Deep Foundation’s Mother’s Day wellness event. In video posted by sports journalist Kelsey Nicole Nelson, Diggs kissed Cardi on the cheek and wrapped his arm around her waist as they posed for photos. Soon afterward, a source told Us Weekly that Cardi was giving Diggs “a second chance but is not fully committing to him.” The pair reportedly split in February after nearly a year together. At the time, a source told People that Cardi “couldn’t trust” Diggs. Despite the latest public disagreement, the two have continued to spend time together. They may still be working through unresolved issues. For now, the reason behind the Maryland argument remains private. The highly visible exchange has reignited interest in one of pop culture’s most closely watched relationships.

A federal jury has ruled that Hurricane included an uncleared sample. Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) is now responsible for a six-figure financial judgment tied to one of his most closely watched releases. Reporting from Rolling Stone indicates that the decision was delivered Tuesday afternoon. The jury found that Ye and multiple affiliated companies violated copyright protections connected to a demo used in an early version of the track. This demo was first previewed at the Donda listening event. The court ordered total damages exceeding $400,000. Ye himself was assigned $176,153 in liability, with Yeezy LLC required to match that amount. Two additional entities tied to his business operations were also held responsible. Yeezy Supply was ordered to pay $41,625, and Mascotte Holdings was assessed $44,627. This spread the financial impact across his brand infrastructure. The case was filed by Artists Revenue Advocates on behalf of four musicians who contributed to the disputed material. Britton Monts, a manager with the organization, said the outcome reflected a rare moment of accountability for lesser-known creators working against industry power. “the underdogs got their day in court,” she said, adding that independent artists often lack the leverage needed to challenge high-profile figures in complex copyright disputes. ‘Hurricane’ Lawsuit Ends in Credit Shift and Ye Victory At the center of the lawsuit was a one-minute instrumental titled “MSD PT2,” which attorneys for the plaintiffs described as the “backbone” of Hurricane. The track later appeared in a finished form featuring The Weeknd and Lil Baby. However, questions over the original sample persisted throughout the legal proceedings. Ye’s attorney, Eduardo Martorell, noted that the musicians were ultimately credited as songwriters after the sample was removed. They were registered for a combined 30 percent share of composition royalties during litigation. A spokesperson for Ye framed the verdict as a win for the artist, dismissing the claims. “This is a failed shakedown. Six months ago, they wanted $30 million out of Ye,” the representative said. “The moral of the story? There is a cost attached to thinking you can take advantage of Ye.”

Drake has confirmed that ICEMAN will arrive on Friday, May 15, placing the project squarely at the center of the current music conversation. It is his first solo album since For All The Dogs in 2023 and his most closely watched release since his public exchange with Kendrick Lamar. The timing alone has made the rollout feel unusually charged, with anticipation building well ahead of release. In the days leading up to the announcement, Drake was seen filming across Toronto, turning familiar city spaces into active production sets. Landmarks including the CN Tower appeared in the background of multiple shoots, suggesting a coordinated visual rollout tied to ICEMAN Episode 4, expected on Thursday, May 14. The city itself has effectively become part of the campaign’s staging. Attention sharpened further when ICEMAN projections lit up the CN Tower, transforming the skyline into a promotional display. The rollout has unfolded in measured steps, each one revealing just enough to sustain momentum without fully disclosing what the project contains. For an artist long accustomed to shaping public anticipation, the approach fits a familiar pattern. Drake Returns as Billboard Awaits the Shape of ICEMAN The release also arrives during a year in which hip-hop has had a quieter presence on the Billboard Hot 100, opening space for a major commercial entry. Industry expectations suggest ICEMAN will generate multiple charting tracks, though which songs might break through most strongly remain uncertain. With roughly 36 hours to go, key details are still missing, including the tracklist, cover art, and featured artists. That lack of information has only added to the speculation, leaving listeners to piece together expectations as the final hours tick down.
