Cassie Ventura ‘has welcomed her third child'
Cassie Ventura has reportedly welcomed her third child. The 38-year-old singer was heavily pregnant as she gave harrowing testimony in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' ongoing federal trial after she accused him of a series of abuses, and it has now emerged she gave birth days after finishing her disturbing appearance in court. According to an ABC News report on Wednesday (28.05.25) she has now given birth, with her and her husband Alex Fine, 32, expected to share further details in the coming days. News broke on Tuesday (27.05.25) she had gone into labour. Cassie and Alex have already shared their pregnancy journey on social media with snaps of Cassie showing off her growing baby bump in recent weeks. The singer, whose full name is Casandra Ventura, confirmed in March her third the baby would be a boy. In a birthday message to Alex on Instagram, she wrote: 'You've taken care of me and my heart like no other, you're hands down the best girl dad and I'm SO excited to see you now become a father to OUR SON!' The couple already share two daughters – Frankie, born in late 2019, and Sunny, born in 2021. Cassie and Alex married in 2019 shortly after the singer's relationship with Combs ended. Alex was present in New York City earlier this month as Cassie gave testimony against her former partner, who is facing federal charges including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denies all allegations. Cassie spent four days on the witness stand, offering detailed accounts of what she described as an abusive relationship with Combs. According to her testimony, she endured years of physical and sexual abuse, as well as episodes of forced drug use. Her testimony followed a civil lawsuit filed in November 2023, in which Cassie accused Combs of rape, battery and human trafficking. The case was settled out of court, with Cassie later revealing during proceedings that she received a $20 million settlement. Cassie has spoken publicly about the balancing act of being a mother and maintaining her own career. In a 2020 interview with Hatch, she said about bringing up her daughter: 'I don't want to lose myself in becoming a mom. Of course, I will do anything for her, but I also want to remain true to myself. 'I want her to grow up watching me do my thing. I want her to see me making music, building my business, being a mom, a wife, a force, and be inspired by it all.' Sunny, the second child of Alex and Cassie, was born on 22 March 2021. Announcing her birth, Cassie posted on Instagram: 'On Monday March 22nd, 2021 @ 10:22am our hearts got bigger. Welcome to the world baby girl! We love you so much Sunny Cinco Fine!'

Drake Makes History As First Ever Artist With 10 Diamond Records, Social Media Reminds Haters
Source: Prince Williams / Getty Drake set a wild new record; he's now the only artist with 10 diamond-certified tracks under his belt. The RIAA confirmed that both 'Hold On, We're Going Home' and his breakout banger 'Best I Ever Had' have officially gone diamond, meaning each has moved over 10 million units. That puts him at the top, passing every other artist in the game when it comes to diamond hits. Once the news hit Instagram, the reactions were all over the place. Some fans gave him his flowers, with one person writing, 'You can't hate on this… greatness right here.' But the Kendrick vs. Drake debate popped right back up. A Kendrick fan jumped in saying, 'Nobody said Drake didn't have hits, we just saying Dot raps better. The machine behind Drake been running strong for years.' While everyone's talking numbers, Drake's already back in the lab. He told Adin Ross during a stream on Kick that he's cooking up something new, calling the next project a 'slap.' His post on IG with the caption 'Iceman' had fans guessing that it might be tied to the name or vibe of his next drop. If true, it'll be his first solo album since For All the Dogs in 2023. On top of that, he's linking up with Kai Cenat for a new music video for 'SOMEBODY LOVES ME.' They're running a contest where fans can submit their ideas for a chance to win $15K and get featured in the final cut. Drake even popped up at Cenat's 'Streamer University' event last weekend, keeping his finger on the pulse of what's hot online. At this point, Drake isn't just breaking records, he's rewriting the rules.

Beyoncé Braves The Pouring Rain At MetLife Stadium In Ultimate ‘Cowboy Carter' Performance
Source: Alex Slitz / Getty As the Cowboy Carter tour bucks on, Beyoncé continues to give her fans exactly what they want (and paid a hefty sum for), even if that means she has to brave the elements to do so. During her fourth night at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium for her sold-out Cowboy Carter tour , Beyoncé didn't let a torrential downpour stop her from performing the nearly three-hour show with songs from her Grammy-winning album. Per USA Today , the rain came before the show began at a little after 8 p.m. local time, and the stage was thoroughly wiped down before Beyoncé went on. As she opened the show, Beyoncé addressed the large crowd and thanked them for their decades of support throughout her career. 'Thank you for your love, dedication and for your loyalty over 25 years,' she said. The rain continued throughout the entirety of the concert. Still, she proceeded on, and her fans were right there with her even though their carefully curated fashion ensembles and hairstyles were drenched. However, in true Beyhive fashion, if Beyoncé can deal with an obstacle then they will follow suit. Mama Tina Knowles praised her daughter for being the ultimate performer in an Instagram post. 'Oh my God !!! You cannot talk her out of flying and pouring down rain!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽Just had to get on my knees and pray❤️🙏🏽,' she captioned a clip of Bey flying through the air on a giant horseshoe. Towards the end of the May 28 show, she thanked her fans again, but this time it was specifically for braving the rain with her. 'Thank y'all for giving all this energy in the cold and rain. I love you deep deep deep,' she said. Beyoncé will take the stage at MeLife Stadium for a fifth night on Thursday, May 29. Her next tour stop will be across the pond to London, England for a six-night run of shows at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium beginning June 5.
