The Notorious B.I.G. Allegedly Apologized for Xscape Diss Before Death, Says Tiny Harris
In an interview with The Morning Hustle on Wednesday, April 30, Tameka "Tiny" Harris and Kandi Burruss of the R&B girl group recalled how the rapper — born Christopher George Latore Wallace and also known as Biggie Smalls — apologized to them before his death after previously insulting their looks on his 1994 single "Just Playing (Dreams)."
On the track, Biggie hurled insults and named the sexual acts he wanted to engage in with several celebrities, including Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Jasmine Guy and Xscape.

"I'll f--- RuPaul before I f--- them ugly-a-- Xscape bitches," he raps on the track.
According to Harris, 49, and Burruss, 48, Biggie allegedly apologized at a 1997 Soul Train Awards afterparty.
'Somebody came, I don't know if it was Diddy, somebody came and said, 'Biggie wanna speak to y'all,'' said Harris. 'I was just like, 'I'm going to see what he's talking about.''
She added: 'And you know, he was very nice, he was very apologetic and he basically said, 'I don't know what I was thinking. Look, I'm ugly as hell. Y'all is beautiful, and I just wanted to say I apologize for whatever.''
According to Harris, the most shocking part was that Biggie allegedly died 'probably 20, 30 minutes after that.'
'It was great to hear that he acknowledged that he was wrong," she concluded.

Biggie was killed when he was 24 years old, but he had already established himself as a rap legend.
The Brooklyn-born musician released his debut album Ready to Die in 1994 and posthumously released Life After Death in 1997. The latter is one of the only hip-hop albums to sell 10 million copies and reach diamond status.
On March 9, 1997, Biggie was leaving a Soul Train Awards afterparty when he was shot and killed by an assailant in a black Chevy Impala.
His murder is closely linked to the killing of fellow '90s hip-hop superstar Tupac Shakur, as the two were involved in a battle where Biggie represented the East Coast and Tupac the West.

Carolina Sarria FW25 Explores Empire and Identity
On August 15, New York-based designerCarolina Sarria's Fall 2025 collection 'The War of the Three Kingdoms will arrive at CDG-ownedDover Street MarketNY. Drawing its core inspiration from 17th century liberation struggles in the British Empire, the collection is a collage of historical symbols representing power and identity. The Colombian-born designer's punk-infused streetwear ethos is layered with references to the struggle for sovereignty in England, Scotland, and Ireland in the 1640s. She sets her focus on the Clubmen, a group of vigilantes that protected their villages from various forces on opposite sides. Tartans are stitched together in asynetrical compositions, representing the sense of disorder and fragmentation. Imperial symbols such as crowns and cartographic illustrations are tarnished, and ripped apart. Elsewhere small details like gleaming silver and gold threads, evoke the metallic shimmer of armor, swords, and shields. However, the final result simultaneously recall the Punk aesthetic of the 1970s, which also subverted symbols of imperialism such as the crown, aristocratic dress, and military uniforms. 'This is clothing for those unwilling to be written out of the story,' the brand concluded in an official statement. The collection is a reclamation of the discarded and damaged, converting these qualities into signs of resilience. Starting on the 15th, Dover Street Market New York will offer a capsule of exclusive graphic tees along side The War of Three Kingdoms FW25 collection.

8 celebrities who left the US or are considering moving for political reasons
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi In late November 2024, TheWrap reported that comedian Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, left their Montecito home for the Cotswolds, England. The publication said their move to the countryside was triggered by Trump's election and a source said they're "never coming back." An August 2025 Us cover story notes that DeGeneres told English broadcaster and host Richard Bacon during a July 20 event that she and DeGeneres were in the Cotswolds when the election results came in. "We were like, 'We're staying here. We're not going back,'" DeGeneres told Bacon on their reaction to Trump's victory. According to the Us story, DeGeneres and de Rossi have since moved from the original home they purchased in the Cotswolds and now live in a 10,000-square-foot country home called Hiaven. The pair tend to their chickens, sheep, and horses and walk to the local pub for lunch. Rosie O'Donnell In a video recently posted on TikTok, Rosie O'Donnell confirmed that she moved from the US to Ireland with her youngest daughter, Dakota. The actor relocated on January 15, days before Trump's inauguration. "Although I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that's what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child," O'Donnell said in the video. The talk show host, who has Irish grandparents, said her experience so far has been "pretty wonderful" and she's in the process of getting Irish citizenship. O'Donnell said that she misses her four other kids and her friends, but will remain in Ireland for the time being. "I miss many things about life there at home, and I'm trying to find a home here in this beautiful country," she said. "And when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there, in America, that's when we will consider coming back." Sophie Turner UK-born actor Sophie Turner moved to America after marrying singer Joe Jonas. The couple first lived together in Los Angeles and later in Miami with their two daughters Willa and Delphine. Turner and Jonas sold their Miami home in August 2023 and news of their plans to divorce broke weeks later. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar published in October 2024, Turner said that she was homesick while living in the US and struggled with the country's politics. Turner has since moved to West London. "The gun violence, Roe v Wade being overturned... Everything just kind of piled on," Turner said. "After the Uvalde shooting, I knew it was time to get the fuck out of there." Barbra Streisand It was no secret that Barbra Streisand wanted Hillary Clinton to beat Trump in the 2016 election. "He has no facts," Streisand told Australian "60 Minutes" host Michael Usher in a 2016 interview prior to the election. "I don't know, I can't believe it. I'm either coming to your country, if you'll let me in, or Canada." Streisand didn't move out of the US, but she did criticize Trump in her 2018 studio album "Walls." In a 2023 interview with Stephen Colbert, Streisand said that she liked Joe Biden and thought he did a "good job." When asked about the possibility of a second Trump administration, Streisand again said she'd move. "I can't live in this country if he became president," she said, adding that she'd probably move to England. Per an Instagram post shared in early January amid the Los Angeles wildfires, it appears that Streisand still lives in Northern California. Reps for Streisand did not reply to a request for comment. Cher In November 2016, Page Six reported that Cher threatened to move if Trump was elected. "I'm gonna have to leave the planet," she reportedly said at a fundraiser for Clinton. She had a similar stance before Trump officially ran for reelection. "I almost got an ulcer the last time," she told The Guardian in October 2023. "If he gets in, who knows? This time I will leave [the country]." However, as of publication, it doesn't appear that Cher has relocated. Reps for Cher did not reply to a request for comment. Laverne Cox Days after the 2024 presidential election, "Orange Is the New Black" star Laverne Cox appeared on the podcast " Just for Variety" and spoke about the impact the results would have on the transgender community. Cox said that she and some friends were considering moving, but no plans have been solidified yet. "We're doing research on different cities in Europe and in the Caribbean," Cox said. "I don't want to be in too much fear, but I'm scared," the actor added. "As a public figure, with all my privilege, I'm scared, and I'm particularly scared because I'm a public figure. I feel like I could be targeted." Lena Dunham At the 2016 Matrix Awards, "Girls" actor Lena Dunham said that she was serious about moving if Trump won the election. "I know a lot of people have been threatening to do this, but I really will," Dunham said. "I know a lovely place in Vancouver and I can get my work done from there." But after the election results, Dunham changed her mind. "I can survive staying in this country, MY country, to fight and live and use my embarrassment of blessings to do what's right," she wrote in part in a note shared on Instagram. "It's easy to joke about moving to Canada," she added. "It's harder to see, and to love, the people who fill your mailbox with hate. It's harder to see what needs to be done and do it. It's harder to live, fully and painfully aware of the injustice surrounding us, to cherish and fear your country all at once. But I'm willing to try. Will you try with me?" Dunham did eventually leave her home in New York and moved to London. However, in an interview with the New Yorker published in July 2024, the actor said the move was prompted by work opportunities.
