Nelly accused of cheating on Ashanti amid rave reviews of their show We Belong Together: Fans defend rapper amid viral claim
Nelly and Ashanti have weathered their fair share of ups and downs, but these days, the couple seem more in sync than ever, constantly laughing, co-parenting their newborn son Kareem 'KK', and sharing the screen in their new reality show We Belong Together, which premiered on Peacock on June 26. The series offers a candid look at their lives as partners, parents, and music industry powerhouses. But just as fans were warming up to their love story, new allegations have surfaced as a woman has come forward claiming that Nelly cheated on Ashanti with her, leaving fans stunned.
Woman accuses Nelly of being intimate with her
After Peacock posted a playful promo for Nelly and Ashanti's new reality show on Instagram, a woman jumped into the comments with a jaw-dropping claim. Using the handle niyahhsimonee, she alleged that Nelly had been intimate with her just two weeks prior, writing, 'He had me s**irting 2 weeks ago, but to the internet, they are the perfect couple.'

The woman's Instagram account is public, though it has no posts on the main grid. However, she actively shares Instagram Stories, which suggests the account is genuine. Still, with little known about her background or profession, it's unclear how she would have crossed paths with Nelly if her claims are indeed true.
Internet slams woman's claim with no proof
The internet isn't fully convinced by the allegation, with many users speculating that it might just be a publicity stunt aimed at gaining attention by latching onto a high-profile celebrity.
One user wrote, "She's lying. Nelly isn't possibly that dumb! Bro spun the block and won. No way he fucked up again." "I thought there was a mandatory 3-day wait period before commenting on accusations because of all the 'I said it for clout' nonsense that has happened lately," another user wrote.

"Everyone is looking for their moment these days. You have to laugh and keep it moving until proven otherwise," commented a third.

One person mentioned, "She wants traction to her socials; then she'll post a shirt for sale."

More about Nelly and Ashanti's relationship
Nelly and Ashanti's love story has had its twists, but they've come full circle and this time, it's official. After years of on-and-off rumours, the two tied the knot in April 2023 in a low-key ceremony at their Georgia home. Not long after, they welcomed their baby boy, Kareem 'KK', making things even more real. From throwback hits to new beginnings, they've blended family life and fame like pros. Now with their reality show We Belong Together, fans finally get a front-row seat to their world as husband and wife, first-time parents, and still one of music's most iconic pairs.

Despite repeated pressure, monetary offers, and threats, the actor stood firm and refused to attend, fearing for the safety of his loved to India Today's sister channel, The Lallantop, Aamir recounted, 'I'd said no to the invite to attend their party in the Middle East, probably Dubai. Some people from the underworld had visited me to invite me to the party.'While he did not reveal who was behind the invite, he clarified, 'I don't take names, even of people from my industry. That's my nature.' He added that they tried hard to persuade him, 'They tried a lot. They offered me money and offered to get any work done of my choosing. I still refused to come.

'I said, 'You've been meeting for a month and I've been telling you right from the start that I wouldn't come. You're very powerful so you can bash me up, hit me on the head, tie my hands and legs, and take me forcibly wherever you want, but I wouldn't come on my own.' So they stopped contacting me after that.'The actor admitted he was terrified during the ordeal, not just for himself but for his family. 'I had two small kids then. My parents were very concerned. They said, 'What are you doing? They're very dangerous.' So I had said only one thing to them then, 'I want to live my life the way I want. I don't want to go there.'' He added, 'I was more concerned for the ones close to me.'At the time, Aamir was married to Reena Dutta, with whom he had two children - Junaid (born in 1993) and Ira (born in 1997).

Beyonce, Jay-Z dominate Paris as celebrity drives fashions biggest trend
Paris, Jun 29 (AP) If any force swept through the fashion industry this season — and sent shockwaves around the globe — it wasn't a new silhouette or a daring colour. It was the spectacle of celebrity. Star power eclipsed fabric and form, transforming the runways of Paris Fashion Week into arenas where A-list icons, K-pop idols, and digital megastars didn't just attend — they became the main event. As the week wraps up Sunday, it's clear: the world is watching not for what's worn, but for who's wearing it. Beyoncé and Jay-Z didn't just attend Louis Vuitton's blockbuster show — they became the story. As they swept into the Pompidou Centre, the entire mood shifted. Cameras flashed. Phones shot skyward. Even before the first look hit the runway, images of the couple rocketed around the globe. The scene encapsulated a truth that every major brand — from Louis Vuitton to Dior, Hermès to Saint Laurent — now understands: The real front row isn't in Paris, but on Instagram, TikTok and Weibo. And nothing sells quite like a star. Beyoncé's head-to-toe denim look — a custom Louis Vuitton creation by Pharrell Williams — sparked headlines worldwide and instantly set the tone for the season. Her ensemble, complete with a cowboy hat and Western belt, became one of the most shared images of fashion week, underlining just how quickly a star's wardrobe can ignite trends far beyond the runway. Her Cowboy Carter tour, however, hasn't been without controversy — a T-shirt worn in Paris referencing Buffalo Soldiers drew criticism online this week from some Indigenous and Mexican communities. And when Williams presented her with a Speedy bag straight from the runway, the moment went viral — striking a powerful note that Beyoncé isn't just an attendee, but the face of Louis Vuitton's creative vision. This is the new dynamic of luxury: The most coveted runway seat is now in your hand, and what matters most isn't just what you see, but who you see wearing it. It's a story that's been told before — celebrity eclipsing fashion — but in a year of global uncertainty, the urge for escapism and the power of star-driven fantasy have reached a new intensity. Show, not just tell: Fashion as spectacle What once was a private preview for buyers and editors is now a worldwide entertainment event. Designers don't just stage shows — they produce spectacles. Williams, Louis Vuitton's showman-in-chief, turned his runway into a snakes-and-ladders fantasy with a guest list to match: Beyoncé, Jay-Z, K-pop royalty J-Hope and Jackson Wang, reggaeton star Karol G, and Hollywood names like Bradley Cooper and Mason Thames. Each arrival triggered waves of posts and stories — making the crowd as newsworthy as the collection itself. The modern runway has become a stage for celebrity, where the applause is measured in views and viral moments, and the line between performer and spectator disappears. No other force is shifting menswear trends faster than K-pop. This season, stars like J-Hope, Jackson Wang, GOT7's Bambam, and NCT's Yuta were everywhere, livestreaming shows and igniting fashion frenzies from Seoul to Sao Paulo. These idols are both tastemakers and trend translators, instantly transmitting what they see in Paris to millions of fans. Their attendance has become a commercial event in itself, driving the adoption of new styles on a global scale. Beyoncé effect Even the clothes themselves now chase celebrity. Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter' moment and Louis Vuitton's nod to Western style sent cowboy hats, flared denim, and rhinestone shirts trending worldwide. Brands scramble to turn these viral moments into wearable trends — knowing that what Queen Bey wears in Paris will be copied in malls and on apps within weeks. 'We make fashion, but we're a house of travel,' Williams told reporters. In truth, it's the celebrity's journey through fashion that matters most. The old fashion cycle is gone. It's been said before. Where trends once took months to trickle down, now a celebrity-worn look can reach the high street soon after the show lights dim. TikTok and fast fashion brands move at the speed of the repost. At Hermès, even the discreet luxury of woven leather tees and wide trousers took on new meaning as athletes and music stars documented their attendance. Their posts quickly turn exclusive details into mass-market 'must-haves'. It's a process that global platforms like Shein and Temu have weaponised — transforming a viral runway or celebrity moment into affordable, shoppable trends in a matter of days. The result: What debuts on the Paris catwalk can show up in online shopping carts from Atlanta to Addis Ababa almost instantly. Beneath the celebrity glow, classic trends endure. Streetwear is still king, with oversized silhouettes, soft tailoring and activewear influences everywhere from Dior to Dolce and Gabbana. The Hermès 'cool city guy' and Dolce's pajama dressing — rumpled but rich — are direct answers to how men want to live and move now. But even these trends go mainstream through star power, not just design. The models might debut the look, but it's the front-row faces who make it stick. Williams' very appointment as Louis Vuitton's menswear creative director — a chart-topping musician handpicked by LVMH chief Bernard Arnault in 2023 — was itself a statement: In today's industry, celebrity doesn't just influence fashion, it leads it. Everyone's invited now All this spectacle reflects a bigger shift. Fashion isn't just about what's in — it's about who's in the room, and who's watching. At Armani in Milan, at Saint Laurent in Paris, at every show, a galaxy of K-pop, Hollywood, and music stars now drive the narrative. For Gen Z and Alpha, the runway is no longer about aspiration — it's about participation, sharing, and living in the moment. The 'show' has become the product. In 2025, the biggest trend in men's fashion isn't a garment at all — it's the show itself. And in a season defined by heat, hype and headlines, it's clear: celebrity is the new couture, and we're all in the front row. (AP) PY PY

Deepika Padukone Reacts To Brad Pitt's ‘F1' Performance: That's It, That's The Post
Mumbai: Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has publicly expressed her admiration for Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt following the release of his highly anticipated racing film, 'F1.' The actress took to her official Instagram account on Sunday to express her excitement over Brad Pitt's performance in the film. Posting a cheeky tribute on her Instagram stories, Deepika wrote, "Brad Pitt. That's it, that's the post. IYKYK." Since its international release on June 27, 'F1' has garnered widespread praise from both audiences and critics. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, best known for his work on 'Top Gun: Maverick', the film tells the story of Sonny Hayes, a veteran Formula One driver played by Brad Pitt, who makes a comeback to the sport after a 30-year hiatus. The movie is produced in collaboration with Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton, ensuring a high degree of authenticity in the racing world depicted on-screen. The excitement surrounding the movie reached new heights during its celebrity-packed premiere in London, which saw the presence of superstars such as Tom Cruise. 'F1' has also received praise for its all-star ensemble cast, including Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, and others. In the film, Pitt's character, Sonny Hayes, is brought back into the world of Formula One by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (played by Javier Bardem), who now owns a struggling F1 team. As Sonny attempts to help the team make a comeback, he faces challenges both on and off the track, including reconciling with his past. The film's plot revolves around Sonny Hayes, who was once a talented and promising driver before a severe accident ended his career. Decades later, he is convinced to return to the sport by Cervantes, who seeks to revive his failing team. As Sonny works alongside the young and ambitious driver Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), he must overcome his personal demons and confront the rapidly changing world of Formula 1. Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Lewis Hamilton, 'F1' also features a powerful soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer, blending electronic and orchestral sounds to capture the high-octane nature of the sport. The soundtrack includes tracks by artists like Ed Sheeran, ROSÉ, and RAYE.
