The Bronx-born pop star, 55, told a crowd at Wednesday's show in Bilbao, Spain that she's hanging up her hopes of happily ever after, at least one that includes a ring and trip down the aisle, according to fan footage making the rounds. ''J. Lo, marry me?'' the Love Don't Cost A Thing artiste read out a fan's sign. 'I think I'm done with that [laughs]. Yeah, I tried that a few times. Anyway…' J. Lo's remarks follow her latest divorce, from Ben Affleck, which was finalised in January. This time a year ago, the couple — whose early aughts engagement ended without 'I do,' prior to their spring 2021 reconciliation — was at the center of split speculation. Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024, on their second wedding anniversary. Lopez and Affleck's second go at a relationship — following the headline sensation known as Bennifer — came on the heels of the former ending her engagement to Alex Rodriguez. The Grammy nominee first exchanged vows with model and waiter Ojani Noa, to whom she was married from early 1997 to June 1998. She then tied the knot with backup dancer Cris Judd in September 2001, filing for divorce the following summer. Lopez and Affleck got engaged in late 2002, before her divorce with Judd was finalised in January 2003. After their very public romance and split, Lopez wed Marc Anthony in June 2004, divorcing a decade later. The musicians share 17-year-old teens Max and Emme. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Am I The Drama?, Cardi B's newest album, will finally be released on September 19. It's her first full length project since her breakout debut album Invasion of Privacy in 2018. It has not been revealed yet what collaborators or special guest features will appear on the project. Bardi is back, everyone! Cardi B's fans have been waiting quite literally years for the anticipated follow up to her breakout debut album Invasion of Privacy. Now it seems, the wait is finally over. On Monday, the Bronx-born rapper announced (to much internet fanfare) that her sophomore album titled Am I The Drama? will be released everywhere on September 19, 2025. In true Cardi B fashion, the accompanying album cover is already iconic. For the image, the rapper is dressed in a red bodysuit complete with a swooping attached hood, matching fishnet tights, and some majorly high platform pumps. To add to the drama, Cardi B is surrounded by flying crows and a cloudy sky while she strikes a pose. Cardi B teased the release one day prior for fans, releasing a teaser video clip that helped set the tone for what lies ahead for the upcoming album. Crows also appeared in the quick vignette, following Cardi as she struts through a romantic garden and even appearing on the bust of her black gown. She also released the first single from her sophomore effort last week, an upbeat single girls anthem titled 'Outside'. The rapper opened up to Rolling Stone last year about the long delay between her first album and Am I The Drama? stating that she wanted to ensure that the project she released would ultimately be up to not just her standards, but also fully reflect how she's evolved as an artist. She also welcomed three children with her now estranged husband, rapper Offset, in the time between Invasion of Privacy and now. 'I'm a different person every single day,' she told the outlet of the creative input that went into the record. 'When I'm in a good mood and I'm with my friends, [I'm] like, 'Damn, I want my shit to be played in this club.' But then I might be mad with my man, so it's like now I want to do this song. But then I want to do a pop record. I want to do my sing-y shit.' Here's to hoping it will be worth the wait. Watch this space for updates on Cardi B's second album.

Who is Terrance ‘T.A.' Dixon? Ex-hypeman who filed a lawsuit against rapper Fat Joe
Terrance 'T.A.' Dixon, a name not widely known outside music circles until recently, has come into the spotlight after filing a bombshell lawsuit against Bronx-born rapper Fat Joe. Dixon was Fat Joe's hype man for 16 years, amping up crowds, working closely on tours, and sharing in the energy of live performances. He, also known in the music world as Population One, is better known among electronic music fans for his minimal techno beats. Based in Detroit, Dixon has carved a niche for himself in the underground techno scene, with releases on iconic labels like Tresor and Metroplex. ALSO READ| James Gunn's Superman set to soar at US box office with $135 million opening: Early tracking On Thursday, in a 157-page lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Dixon accused Fat 'Joseph Antonio Cartagena' Joe of a litany of disturbing abuses. Among the most serious claims are 'coercive labour exploitation, financial fraud, sexual manipulation, violent intimidation, and psychological coercion.' Dixon is seeking up to $20 million in damages. The lawsuit details years of alleged abuse, including sexual coercion under duress, surveillance-based humiliation, and forced participation in acts Dixon says he never consented to. 'These sex-based abuses were not private, incidental, or isolated,' the complaint alleges. It also claims Fat Joe used his influence to silence and control those around him. Even more shocking are Dixon's allegations that he witnessed Fat Joe engage in sexual acts with underage girls. The lawsuit names three alleged minors and includes graphic descriptions. 'The allegations against Mr. Cartagena are complete fabrications — lies intended to damage his reputation and force a settlement through public pressure,' said his lawyer, Joe Tacopina, per Variety. 'Mr. Cartagena will not be intimidated.' Dixon's lawyer, Tyrone Blackburn, who has a history of filing lawsuits against celebrities, told The Independent, 'Fat Joe is Sean Combs minus the Tusi.' Blackburn added, 'He learned nothing from his 2013 federal conviction.' 'We didn't just sue a disgruntled former employee trying to revive a false claim from 15 years ago — we sued the lawyer behind it all,' said Tacopina, adding that Blackburn is under scrutiny for unethical legal conduct.
