Megan Thee Stallion's Legal Team Issues Statement Criticizing Tory Lanez's Team For Continuously Switching Stories & Peddling Misinformation To Deflect From Violent Assault
NEW YORK, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Megan Thee Stallion's legal team issued a statement in response to the continued misinformation peddled from Tory Lanez's team, which included a new theory that contradicted their previous argument. "Tory Lanez's team can't keep a story straight," Megan's attorney Alex Spiro said. "Last week, they argued that Kelsey Harris shot Megan and now, they're claiming that Megan only stepped on glass. They continue to rehash old evidence from trial and re-package it as new information to desperately sway public opinion. There was no new evidence displayed today – simply a sad attempt from Tory's team to copy our presentation format to peddle misinformation. It's embarrassing that Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna is integrating herself into the California criminal justice system for click-bait. Instead, she should be focused on serving her own constituents in Florida rather than chasing celebrities." The statement from Megan's team comes after they previously unveiled overwhelming evidence of Tory Lanez's 2022 conviction and refuting the false narratives around her violent shooting that have been peddled by Lanez's team. The full presentation can be found HERE and reaffirms there has been no new evidence that has been introduced. Key takeaways include: Text messages from Lanez to Megan on July 12, 2020 at 8:59 pm, acknowledging and apologizing for shooting her. Lanez is contradicting his own narrative. He previously – and publicly – confirmed that Kelsey Harris was not the shooter in an Instagram comment on The Shade Room. There is no new, Ring camera footage. The Ring camera footage was previously admitted as evidence during Lanez's trial, it was played for the jury, and the footage captured the sound of 5 gunshots. When the firearm was tested by DNA experts, testing established that there was a 90% chance that the DNA found came from a man. Both Megan and Kelsey Harris testified in court and under oath that Lanez offered them each a bribe of $1,000,000 for their silence. Los Angeles Police Department senior property officer Marin Preciado testified that the LAPD continues to retain possession of the firearm and the bullet fragments. Lanez declined to testify in his own defense at trial and his team declined to call his driver/body guard Jaquan Smith to testify.

Footage surfaces of Tory Lanez being stabbed 14 times by inmate Santino Casio in California prison
Rapper Tory Lanez is recovering after being stabbed 14 times earlier this month at California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, where he is serving a 10-year sentence related to the 2020 Megan Thee Stallion shooting. According to The Shade Room, exclusive footage shows inmate Santino Casio launching a violent attack on Lanez near a stairwell inside the facility. The video captures Lanez attempting to escape while screaming for help as Casio repeatedly strikes him. EXCLUSIVE: The Shade Room obtains exclusive footage of Tory Lanez's prison stabbing. #TSRStaffBD — TheShadeRoom (@TheShadeRoom) May 28, 2025 The attack occurred around 7:20 a.m. on May 12, according to a prison spokesperson cited by the Associated Press. Despite the severity of his injuries—which included both lungs collapsing—Lanez was reported to be in stable condition, breathing independently, and in 'good spirits' following treatment inside the prison and later at an external hospital. His team confirmed his status in a public statement the same day. Still images shared by The Shade Room reveal the aftermath of the stabbing. Lanez appears visibly shaken, with blood covering his face, torso, and clothing. While the aftermath was visually graphic, attention has also turned to the identity and history of the attacker. Santino Casio, the 42-year-old involved in the assault, is already serving a life sentence for second-degree murder and has a history of violent incidents behind bars. Following the stabbing, Casio was placed in restricted housing pending further investigation. According to TMZ, Casio later claimed he acted in self-defense, alleging he believed Lanez had 'put a price on his head' and had spotted what he thought was a weapon in Lanez's pocket moments before the attack. Casio also claimed he had maintained a relatively decent relationship with Lanez prior to the incident. The California Correctional Institution houses approximately 1,700 medium- and maximum-security inmates and is located about 100 miles north of Los Angeles in the Mojave Desert.

DDG's Mom Responds After Court Grants Halle Bailey A Restraining Order Against Him
DDG's mother, Tonya Granberry, has broken her silence following the court's decision to grant Halle Bailey a temporary restraining order against her son, rapper and YouTuber DDG. The legal action stems from allegations of physical and verbal abuse, as well as concerns for the safety of their 17-month-old son, Halo. The situation has garnered significant public attention, prompting DDG's family to address the matter publicly. Social media is in a frenzy as DDG's mom, Granberry, has responded to the accusations leveled against her son in a restraining order filed by Halle Bailey. On May 13, the YouTube personality took to her Instagram Stories, calling the allegations a lie. 'I don't usually comment or say anything on this internet even with all the negativity, the lies and hatred towards mine,' she said. Granberry then noted that Bailey's accusations against her made her realize she had been quiet for too long. A few hours before the post, Granberry shared a meme, seemingly referring to the situation. She posted a picture of Kermit the Frog on the phone at a phone booth, with the words 'Hello Jesus, take the wheel' boldly written. Shortly after Granberry responded, The Shade Room reposted, igniting a wave of reactions. Many fans took Halle Bailey's side, accusing Granberry of enabling her son. 'Now I believe he did it for real because only men that do this mamas act like this lmao,' one fan commented. A second user shared, 'She's enabling him. She doesn't want her lifestyle to change smhhh,' while a third penned, 'A lot of mothers raised monsters and act like they don't know it. Then when someone tells them, they act surprised. I know you saw the signs.' On the other hand, some fans took Granberry's side. 'It's crazy how y'all trynna disrespect his mama. This woman barely speak or say anything about DDG past relationship publicly except today. She been on YouTube ever since her son DDG moved her to LA but y'all never seen or heard her on any messy sh-t publicly,' one person said. On May 13, 2025, a Los Angeles judge granted Bailey a temporary restraining order against DDG, citing multiple instances of alleged abuse. According to court documents, Bailey accused DDG of physical assault during a January incident, where he allegedly pulled her hair and slammed her face into a steering wheel, resulting in a chipped tooth and bruises. 'I realize that there is no placating Darryl. I cannot allow this abuse any longer,' she said in the court documents, per PEOPLE Magazine. Besides physical abuse, Bailey also alleged verbal abuse, noting that her ex would often call her 'b-tch' and 'evil' in front of their son. Additionally, she reported that whenever DDG wanted to upset her, he would badmouth her to millions of fans. The restraining order mandates that DDG stay at least 100 yards away from Bailey and their son, including Halo's school and Bailey's vehicle. A court hearing is scheduled for June 6 to determine whether the order will be extended. Bailey and DDG began dating in 2022 and ultimately split in 2024. The streamer announced their breakup in a post on his Instagram Stories, revealing that it wasn't an easy decision but the best path for both of them. Following their split, the pair's co-parenting relationship became tumultuous. In November 2024, the 'Little Mermaid' actress indirectly called out DDG for involving Halo in an online streaming episode with Kai Cenat. Although Halo's appearance excited fans and viewers, Bailey disapproved, especially as she claimed it was done without her consent. 'Hi everyone, just so you know, I am out of town, and I don't approve of my baby in front of millions of people," she wrote in the now-deleted social media post, per The Blast. "I wasn't told or notified, and I am extremely upset to have my baby in front of millions of people. I am his mother and protector, and saddened that I wasn't notified, especially when I am out of town." Many hoped the co-parenting feud would only span a few weeks, but unfortunately, it continued for months. In March 2025, DDG accused Bailey of preventing him from seeing their son. During one of his livestreams, the rapper said he wasn't a fan of airing personal matters online, but he was left with no choice as Bailey allegedly frustrated his attempts at being a dad. He said, per Complex, "I just want to be able to see my son when I want to see my son, take my son when I want to take my son. Like, I don't care if this makes me look childish, if I look like I'm on the internet crazy, whatever – I don't care, bro. I don't care what nobody thinks. I literally just want to be in my son's life." DDG also clarified that he wasn't a 'deadbeat,' adding that there needed to be 'repercussions' for his inability to see Halo.

Nick Cannon baby mama claims he hasn't seen child in a MONTH after he boasted about insuring $10m 'balls'
Nick Cannon 's baby mama Alyssa Scott says he hasn't seen their two-year-old daughter Halo Marie in a month. The model & entrepreneur, 31, took to Instagram on Thursday with a clip from The Shade Room previewing the father-of-12's interview on the Tea Time with Raven & Miranda podcast. Scott added her own commentary underneath, indicating her frustration with the situation to more than 264,000 Instagram followers. 'Ha ha haaa ... funny,' said Scott, who has a business called My Halo Heart, which makes onesies and pajamas for children. Scott went on to say that 'it's been over a month' since The Masked Singer host, 44, spent time with the toddler, asking Cannon, 'Any plans on seeing your child?' Scott made reference to Cannon's statement on the podcast that he'd taken out an insurance policy on his testicles - saying it was 'good to know' their child would benefit financially 'if anything happens to [Cannon's] balls.' has reached out to Scott via Instagram and reps for Cannon for comment on this story. Scott added her own commentary in an Instagram Stories post, indicating her frustration with the situation to more than 264,000 followers On the podcast, Cannon said he took out the policy in 2024 after starring in a commercial for natural soap brand Dr. Squatch. 'It started off like, "Yo, this would be a good joke," but we really went through with it,' Cannon explained. Cannon said the bizarre situation unfolded in June 2024, when he appeared in a commercial for Dr. Squatch - announcing he'd insured his testicles for the record amount. 'Dr. Squatch, who is like, they're known for like manscaping and all that stuff,' Cannon said. 'They were like, "Yo, a lot of celebrity women are insuring their legs in case something goes wrong."' Cannon said the executives at Dr. Squatch asked him what his 'most valuable asset' was and Nick immediately quipped: 'My balls.' He added, 'I got the insurance policy in my office. It's legit,' he said, noting that each testicle is insured for $5 million. 'If I happen to lose one, all the money goes to my kids,' Cannon said of his 12 children. He was asked if he's done having children now that he has 12 kids with six women. 'I love the baby stage,' he said. 'Baby to toddler. So fun. Because three-year-olds, those are the three-nagers - they think they know everything!' And while he considers his kids with Mariah Carey, 14-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan his peers, the feeling isn't mutual. 'Those my homies,' Cannon said of the twins. 'We hang out, went to the movies this weekend and Raising Canes. I'm just the guy with the license.' However, Cannon said his eldest kids have nicknamed him 'Cringe Cannon.' In addition to Monroe and Moroccan, Nick shares Golden 'Sagon' Cannon, Powerful Queen Cannon and Rise Messiah Cannon with Brittany Bell. He also has Zion Mixolydian Cannon, Zillion Heir Cannon and Beautiful Zeppelin Cannon with Abby De La Rosa. Nick and Alyssa Scott share Zen, who passed away at five months, as well as Halo Marie Cannon. LaNisha Cole and Nick share daughter Onyx Ice Cole Cannon and Bre Tiesi has Legnedary Love Cannon with Nick. When it comes to any of his kids getting into showbiz, Nick said that it would be easier for any of his kids to break into showbiz over someone without a famous parent. 'As the father, I kinda know, I've been here, so I'm never gonna let an agent take advantage of you,' he explained. 'I'm never gonna allow you to be on set by yourself, like, because this is my world. There is some nepotism that's gonna take place that, like, this is the family business.' In March, Nick discussed the possibility of having more children on an episode of his and Courtney Bee's podcast We Playin' Spades. The conversation took a surprising turn when the former NFL player Ryan Clark began discussing his vasectomy. Nick had an apparent moment of clarity when he admitted — in a bashful tone — that getting a vasectomy was the 'responsible thing to do.' However, even if he now acknowledged that it was the smart choice for someone in his position, he remained defiant. 'I'm just — I'm not done [having children],' he added. Later, he was asked if he would have another child with one of the women who had already had his babies.

Why Nelly Is Getting Dragged for These Comments About President Donald Trump
Rapper Nelly is back in the headlines again and it's unfortunately due to his ties with President Trump. And just like the last time he took over the timelines, this latest update has his fans equally as upset. If you'll remember, back in January, the 'Country Grammar' rapper shocked his fanbase after it was revealed he'd be one of the artists performing at Trump's inauguration. Though the backlash was swift and heavy, Nelly stood ten toes down on his decision, calling it 'an honor' and telling folks in an interview at the time that he wasn't doing it for the money. 'I'm not doing this for money, I'm doing this because it's an honor,' he explained. 'I respect the office. It don't matter who is in office. The same way our brothers and sisters go to war to put their life on the line for whoever is in office. So, if they can put their life on the line for whoever is in office, I can damn sure perform for whoever is in office.' Fast forward to Tuesday and the rapper is once again facing criticism—this time for giving a positive outlook on how the Trump's been doing in his first 100 days in office. Speaking to Fox News at Stagecoach, the 'Hot in Herre' rapper was asked how he felt about the president's record low approval rating and the way the country was going under Trump's regime and let's just say his response 'I'm all for everybody staying positive about any and everything,' he said. 'I'm a glass half-full type of guy. I'm more empowered on bringing people together and making sure that we all get what we need, when we need it and why we need it.' Naturally, as his comments began to make the rounds on social media, fans and others were once again met with disappointment and wasted no time airing out their feelings. 'Urging positivity during the rise of a fascist regime is insane. Sir, you have a family,' wrote one user in the comments section of The ShadeRoom's post. 'The only reason y'all giving Nelly grace is because of Ashanti,' said another. 'He know he voted for the wrong person, the glass is literally empy,' one other user said. Added another, 'I liked Nelly better when he didn't have this much air time on the internet.' One other user wrote: 'Choosing to ignore the constant attack on Black history and the Black community is not staying positive, it's being cowardice.'
