Offset Demands Cardi B Pay Spousal Support in New Divorce Case Filing
Offset is now demanding that his estranged wife Cardi B pay him spousal support after their split is finalized, according to new court filings in their divorce case.
The Migos rapper filed an updated answer to Cardi's divorce petition in New Jersey's Bergen County Superior Court earlier this month, as first reported by TMZ. The amended filing adds a request for an unspecified amount of alimony, but remains unchanged otherwise.

Kid Cudi Reflects on 'Stressful' Testimony in Diddy Trial: 'I'm Glad It's Behind Me'
A representative for Offset and an attorney for Cardi did not immediately return a request for comment.
After six years of marriage, Cardi filed for divorce from Offset in August, seeking primary custody of their 5-year-old daughter Kulture, 2-year-old son Wave and then-unborn baby. According to Cardi's rep, the divorce filing was 'not based on any one particular incident, it has been a long time coming and is amicable.'
Except it has been anything but. In an ugly social media exchange in December, Offset claimed Cardi 'look[ed] like the hoe' and was 'focus[ed] on d—.' She immediately fired back: 'So dating because I'm single means I'm just worried about d—?? You sound like a dummy,' before later adding: 'F— off and sign the papers TODAY.'
In February, Offset filed his response to the divorce case, seeking joint custody of the children and that her home be the kids' primary residence.
The current case is actually the second time Cardi has filed for a divorce. The 'WAP' star previously filed in Georgia court to end their marriage in September 2020. At the time, she said it wasn't 'because of cheating' — although rumors of infidelity plagued their relationship for years.
Within a month, Cardi revealed that the couple had reconciled, and she later withdrew the case. 'It's hard not to talk to your best friend,' she said on Instagram Live of the rekindling. 'It's really hard not to talk to your best friend. And it's really hard to have no d—.'
Over the next four years, their romance survived a few more rough patches — more cheating rumors, plus a social media squabble between the spouses — before Cardi finally confirmed that they had split once more. 'I've been single for a minute now,' she said on Instagram Live in December 2023. She formally filed for divorce on Aug. 1.

DDG Files Motion To Block Halle Bailey From Taking Their Son Abroad
DDG and Halle Bailey's relationship has been experiencing some intense hurdles over the last year, with their disagreements often involving their son, Halo. The Pontiac, Mich., rapper filed a motion on Wednesday morning (June 4) in an attempt to keep his one-year-old in the United States against the plans of his child's mother. Per TMZ, DDG filed an emergency motion to stop Halle from taking their infant son out of the country. The 6x nominated songstress reportedly had plans to travel with Halo to Italy on Saturday (June 7) for work, and her ex-boyfriend requested an emergency hearing because he 'worries about what she might do if she leaves the court's jurisdiction,' according to the outlet. He is claiming Halle poses an 'imminent emotional and psychological risk' to the child. DDG also cited multiple alleged events that support would his claims. In the motion, he said when Halle was pregnant, she allegedly took his gun and left the house without telling him where she was going. He eventually found her outside holding the weapon, and it remained unused by her. DDG also claims the Little Mermaid actress tried to have an abortion behind his back, but did not go through with it. The rapper added Halley once sent 'a series of alarming text messages threatening to kill herself and suggesting that their infant son, Halo, might also be harmed.' Allegations of negative behavior have come from both sides of the former relationship. The Chloe x Halle member was granted a temporary restraining order against DDG last month after accusing him of physical abuse. In an incident with photos included in her complaint, she alleged DDG once slammed her face on a steering wheel, chipping her tooth, while he came to pick up Halo. She addressed her Italy travel plans in her complaint, which was approved on May 15. 'I have family and a nanny who will be traveling with me to care for Halo while I am working,' Halle wrote in the court documents.

EXCLUSIVE: Richard Simmons' Longtime Home Is Put on the Market for $7 Million—1 Year After He Died Inside Historic Property
Late fitness guru Richard Simmons' longtime Los Angeles home has been put on the market for $7 million—one year after the reclusive Hollywood figure passed away inside the historic dwelling. Simmons, who shot to fame in the 1970s after launching a career as a fitness expert and weight loss guru, passed away at the age of 76 in July 2024, days after he celebrated his birthday. At the time, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that they had responded to a 911 call made by Simmons' housekeeper from his Hollywood Hills home, where they arrived to find the fitness guru had passed away. He was later determined to have died from natural causes. One month after his death, the family issued a statement, revealing that the L.A. Coroner's office revealed that Simmons had died from 'complications from recent falls,' adding that 'heart disease was a contributing factor.' 'The toxicology report was negative other than medication Richard had been prescribed,' the statement continued. 'The Family wishes to thank everyone for their outpouring of love and support during this time of great loss.' Simmons' death quickly became the source of fervent speculation online—much of which pointed to the fact that the fitness expert had become increasingly reclusive in the 10 years leading up to his passing. Despite his once-prominent Hollywood profile, from 2014, Simmons was seen outside of his home on just a handful of occasions, although he maintained a close connection with his fans via regular Facebook updates in which he would offer glimpses into his life—while also sharing inspirational messages with his followers. The reason behind his disappearance became the source of intense media scrutiny, with a TMZ documentary entitled 'What Really Happened to Richard Simmons' claiming that his decision to step away from public life was the result of a longtime ailment that he had suffered with since birth. 'Something that happened to him at birth is directly connected to his disappearance — a birth defect that significantly affected one of his legs,' TMZ editor Fabian Garcia claimed in the documentary, according to the New York Post. 'He was born without a full set of bones in his foot and it causes physical and emotional problems.' In 2024, before his death, Simmons addressed the speculation about his disappearance in a social media post, urging his fans to pay no attention to the rumors. 'Don't believe everything you read. I no longer have a manager, and I no longer have a publicist. I just try to live a quiet life and be peaceful,' he wrote. Still, Simmons' family faced continued scrutiny in the wake of his death, particularly after it was revealed that they had become embroiled in a bitter legal battle with the fitness guru's longtime housekeeper, Teresa Reveles. Two months after her boss's death, Reveles filed a petition with a Los Angeles court in which she claimed that she had been pressured into giving up her role as a co-trustee of his estate, accusing Simmons' brother, Lenny, and his wife, Cathy, of carrying out a 'nefarious scheme' to remove her from all future decisions about his finances. Lenny and his family quickly hit back at the claims, insisting that their only desire was 'protecting and maintaining' Simmons' legacy—while accusing Reveles of 'greed.' '[Richard] would be heartbroken to learn of Teresa's greed and insulted that she would diminish their three decades of supposed friendship in such a public way,' family spokesperson Tom Estey told People in a statement. 'Her actions threaten to harm Richard's incredible legacy, which we are working hard to preserve.' Lenny added in his own statement: 'First, I am solely interested in protecting and maintaining my brother's legacy. It was never my intention to play this out in public, but due to circumstances beyond my control, I have been forced to do so. 'Second, we have filed papers with the court that address and refute what Teresa has claimed. They also provide a brief summary of the reasons I declined Teresa's request to serve as co-trustee and my concerns about why she is proceeding with this litigation.' Lenny also accused Reveles of 'refusing to vacate' his brother's home—stating in court papers that she remained in the dwelling for 76 after his death and alleging that, when she did finally leave the property, she took $1 million worth of jewelry and 'other valuable pieces of fine art' with her. 'Although Teresa has her own home, she had a room in Richard's house that she refused to vacate after his death. When she finally did leave, 76 days later, she took almost $1 million of Richard's jewelry and other valuable pieces of fine art, which she has refused to return,' the court papers read, according to NewsNation. 'And, as discussed below, she participated in the effort to misappropriate the Trust's intellectual property. 'Teresa's counsel has not informed the Trustee whether Teresa intends to keep this property or return it. If she decides to try to keep it, the Trustee will have no choice but to file a petition to recover it, which is a clear reason she should not be Co-Trustee. 'The Trustee and his counsel need to appraise any property to be sold and may need to sell it to pay the taxes. Teresa should not be permitted to interfere with this process absent serious, legitimate concerns about the administration of the estate that do not exist here.' Now, Simmons' family appears ready to move on from the legal drama that ensued after his death—and are parting ways with the expansive dwelling, which he called home for several decades. According to property records, Simmons purchased the home in the 1980s and it is understood to have served as his main residence up until the time of his death. However, the dwelling, which was built in 1937, was transferred to a trust of which Lenny is the trustee, after the exercise guru's passed away The online listing calls attention to the property's illustrious history, describing it as the 'Richard Simmons Estate,' however the images reveal that almost every trace of its former owner has been cleared out—with just a few unique murals left in memory of its famous prior resident. Despite its impressive heritage, the listing also concedes that the property may well be viewed by prospective buyers as a tear down, stating that it presents 'a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a landmark home or construct a new masterpiece.'

50 Cent Keeps His Promise by Posting the ‘Really Bad' Things Diddy Has Said About Donald Trump
50 Cent promised to let Donald Trump know what Diddy has said about him in the past, and he followed up on exactly that when posting a pair of clips on Monday (June 2) featuring Combs condemning the president. 'See Trump don't like s–t like this buddy, you run your mouth to much,' 50 wrote in one caption. More from Billboard 50 Cent Says He's Going to 'Make Sure' Trump's Aware of 'Really Bad' Things Diddy Said About President Offset Deactivates Social Media Amid Ongoing Drama With Cardi B & Stefon Diggs The Game Picks His Top 100 L.A. Rappers: 'This My List, Punk!' The first video finds Sean Combs in conversation with Charlamagne Tha God, talking about a potential race war if the now twice-impeached president were in office. 'If Trump gets elected, I really do believe in my heart there'll be a race war,' Diddy said in the clip. Another video shows Diddy condemning Trump on REVOLT, saying: 'White men like Trump need to be banished.' Fans hopped into the comments, chiming in about 50 looking to kill any chance of a pardon for Diddy by Trump, who recently pardoned YoungBoy Never Broke Again. 'We will have BREAKING NEWS….from the White House to address by noon tomorrow…I am sure you just took that man's last hope for sure,' one fan wrote. The G-Unit mogul has been relentless in his trolling of Combs, as 50 even posted an edited image of himself rocking a 'Free Diddy' shirt on social media. Combs remains on trial in New York for federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges. During Tuesday's 15th day of testimony, a hotel worker alleged Diddy paid them $100,000 to make sure the video of Combs assaulting Cassie never got out, per ABC News. Last week, Trump was asked about a potential Diddy pardon during an Oval Office briefing and said he'd consider it, but would have to take a look at the case. 'I haven't spoken to him in years,' Trump said. 'He used to really like me a lot. I think when I ran for politics, that relationship busted up. … I would certainly look at the facts. If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don't like me, it wouldn't have any impact on me.'
