Travis Hunter's wife Leanna Lenee cheated on him? Leaked video controversy surfaces on wedding day
HBCU football star and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter married his fiancée, Leanna De La Fuente, aka Leanna Lenee, in a private ceremony on Saturday in Athens, Tennessee. However, soon after the two tied the knot, claims about Lenee cheating on Hunter resurfaced. The couple met in 2022 and were engaged in February 2024. Hunter and Lenee's relationship faced intense public scrutiny last year, over allegations of the latter cheating on the Colorado star. Alleged leaked videos and DMs from 2020–2021 resurfaced in December 2024, after they were posted by DJ Akademiks on X. They allegedly showed Lenee talking with an unidentified man in 2020.

Then, a video from 2021, shared by Akademiks TV and reported by HotNewHipHop, showed a woman resembling Lenee twerking with another man at a party. Another clip allegedly depicted her in a man's bed, filmed on Snapchat. A separate video showed Lenee in an ex-boyfriend's music video, and a photo allegedly shows a man touching her inappropriately. Hunter staunchly defended Lenee, saying on Twitch, 'I know my girl. My girl's been with me for five years." He further dismissed critics as 'clickbait.' Lenee, in a December 2024 TikTok video, clarified she ignored Hunter's initial DMs in 2020 because he was dating someone else, emphasizing her stance against 'home-wrecking.' She denied cheating and attributed backlash to misinterpretations of her past. Both deactivated social media accounts in December 2024 amid trolling, with Lenee making her accounts private. However, none of these rumors apparently mattered to Travis Hunter, who seemed to be on cloud 9 during Saturday's wedding ceremony. He also surprised his wife with a black Mercedes-Benz AMG.

Justina Valentine faces major backlash after mocking Shannon Sharpe's sexual assault scandal on her own podcast
Justina Valentine sparked viral reactions after making a joke about Shannon Sharpe's ongoing sexual assault lawsuit (Getty Images) Comedian and rapper Justina Valentine sparked viral reactions this week after making a daring joke about Shannon Sharpe's ongoing sexual assault lawsuit—right to his face, and on his own podcast. The moment, which aired on the May 19 episode of Nightcap with co-host Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson, struck a nerve with audiences as it blurred the line between comedy and controversy. A comedian's edge or too far? Public reaction to Justina Valentine's jab — AkademiksTV (@AkademiksTV) As the show neared its end, Shannon Sharpe casually mentioned that he might never have had a white woman as a guest on his other show, Club Shay Shay. Justina Valentine didn't miss a beat: 'Well, Shay Shay, we know what happens with you and white women, but I'm a different kind... I've been to the cookout for a long time now. Don't worry about it." The room erupted in laughter, including Sharpe, Ochocinco, and guest Joe Johnson, but viewers outside the studio had mixed reactions. Some praised Valentine's quick wit, while others criticized the timing and sensitivity of referencing a lawsuit involving serious allegations. Valentine's comment came just weeks after Sharpe was accused of sexual assault and battery by a woman identified only as Jane Doe. Filed in April in Clark County, Nevada, the lawsuit alleges two incidents of assault during what the accuser describes as a previously consensual relationship. She's seeking $50 million in damages and claims Sharpe became abusive and threatening, even recording private encounters without her consent. While Sharpe has firmly denied all accusations—calling the case a 'shakedown' and blaming attorney Tony Buzbee for manipulating media narratives—the case has nonetheless cast a shadow over his media career. He temporarily stepped away from ESPN duties in late April to address what he called 'false and disruptive allegations.' Despite the severity of the claims, Sharpe remains publicly confident. 'Everybody knows what I'm going through. Lot of people have a lot to say,' he acknowledged on a recent episode of Nightcap. 'Fifty percent of the people don't care that you got problems. The other 50 percent glad that you got them.'

Kanye West reignites controversy by dragging Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar in latest online rant
Kanye West reignited controversy this week by criticising Kendrick Lamar over Taylor Swift dancing to his track "Not Like Us" during the 2025 Grammy Awards. In a recent post on X, West questioned how Swift's dance aligns with hip-hop culture, suggesting Lamar may have been uncomfortable with the moment. "I know that Kendrick did not like Taylor Swift dancing to the A minor line. How is that 'culture?'" West posted. Ye questions how Taylor Swift dancing to Not Like Us at the Grammys is considered 'the culture' — Akademiks TV (@AkademiksTV) May 12, 2025 The remarks triggered widespread reaction online, with users expressing frustration over West's continued focus on past events. One commenter wrote, 'Why still talking about the Grammys and why worry about if Taylor Swift was dancing? Old news get over it.' The post marks the latest in a series of public critiques from West, who previously said in March, "I HAAAAAATED Not Like Us," signalling his disapproval of the song's popularity and message. Lamar, who has not publicly responded, collaborated with Swift in 2015 on a remix of her hit "Bad Blood." This comes as West also faces backlash for releasing a video for his song "Heil Hitler," which has sparked criticism across music platforms. The track includes highly controversial lyrics and has been pulled from Spotify, SoundCloud and other streaming services.
