Source: Apega/WENN.com / WENN Dr. Dre‘s divorce from his estranged wife, Nicole Young, is only getting uglier. According to Young, the Hip-Hop producer “expelled” her from their home and has been hiding assets so she can’t get her hands on all the money she is seeking.

Lady Gaga Says She ‘Totally Gave Up on’ Herself Before Releasing Chromatica
Lady Gaga is one of the biggest pop stars in the world, and she hates it. During a recent interview with CBS News, the singer opened up about mental health and struggles with fame, admitting that her alter ego was her worst enemy before she released Chromatica in June. “I just totally gave up on myself,” she said of that particular time. “I hated being famous. I hated being a star. I felt exhausted and used up.” Pointing at a piano behind her in the studio, Gaga continued: “I went from looking at this piano, and thinking, You ruined my life. During that time, I was like, ‘You made me Lady Gaga. My biggest enemy is Lady Gaga.’ That’s what I was thinking: ‘My biggest enemy is her. What did you do?’” She went on to describe experiencing “full body pain” during encoun...
Bob Dylan Previews First Theme Time Radio Hour Episode in 11 Years
A few days ago, Bob Dylan announced the return of his Sirius XM show Theme Time Radio, and now we’re getting a preview of its first episode in 11 years through three audio snippets. In the first, Dylan welcomes fans back after a decade-plus hiatus. “Hello friends and welcome back to Theme Time Radio Hour. I’m your host, Bob Dylan. To paraphrase Alexandre Dumas in The Count of Monte Cristo, I’m so delighted to see you again, it makes me forget for the moment that all happiness is fleeting,” he says before admitting his newly launched whiskey brand, Heaven’s Door, is the catalyst for the show’s return. “Now I’m not gonna pull your coat too much about it, ’cause me telling you how good it is is like tickling yourself. It just doesn’t work. You just have to taste it, a...
Lil Baby Requests Primary Custody In Child Support Battle With Baby Mama
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Lil Baby is in the midst of some family drama. The Atlanta rapper and his baby mama, Ayesha Howard, are arguing about child support in court, and he’s seeking primary custody. The former couple shares a 5-year-old son, Jason. But now their back and forth is getting extra bitter, and it seems to be coming down to her wanting a lot more money, and Lil Baby thinking he’s already been providing plenty. Reports TMZ: Here’s what’s up — the rapper has been going back and forth with Ayesha Howard for weeks after she accused him of failing to pay for their son Jason‘s schooling, which she says resulted in the boy being kicked out.

Price Of Audio Push Goes Solo, Drops “Mufasa” Video
Source: CLRD Ent. / Heads Music Audio Push was a rap duo, made up of Oktane and Price, that had solid success riding the jerk dance wave (and proved to be dope MC’s) in the early 2010’s. But in 2020, the latter has gone solo, and just dropped a new video called “Mufasa.” Sporting a still nimble flow, Price drops bars about perseverance, legacy and Black excellence over a sublime groove. “I done spent my whole life on the search of freedom, everything the light touches you know that’s our kingdom,” goes the tune’s refrain. Also worth noting, Price has partnered his own CLRD Ent. with Madeline Nelson’s all-woman owned and operated music distribution company Heads Music. “It feels good to know that my music and my art is in the hands of a legendary Black female music executive such ...

Eddie Murphy & Dave Chappelle Win Big At Creative Arts Emmy Awards
‘SNL’ has now won 83 Emmys, more than any other series in TV history. Forty years after he burst to stardom on Saturday Night Live, Eddie Murphy won his first Emmy Award on Saturday (Sept. 19) for outstanding guest actor in a comedy series for his return to the show. For such a major star, Murphy has a surprisingly spare awards cabinet. He has won one Grammy (for Eddie Murphy: Comedian, 1983). He was nominated for an Oscar for Dreamgirls (2006), but did not win. Maya Rudolph won outstanding guest actress in a comedy series for her appearance on that same Murphy-hosted episode of SNL in which she played Senator (and now VP nominee) Kamala Harris. Rudolph also won a second Emmy this year for outstanding character voice-over performance for Netflix’s Big Mouth. These are her first...
Madonna Pays Tribute to ‘Fearless Human’ Ruth Bader Ginsburg: ‘She Can Never Be Replaced’
Madonna is paying her respects to late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The 62-year-old pop superstar took to Instagram on Saturday (Sept. 19) to recognize Ginsburg as a “fearless human” who “did more for women and this country than most people know.” Ginsburg, who died Friday from complications of metastatic pancreatic cancer, was the second woman to serve on the Supreme Court and a pioneering advocate for women’s rights. She was 87. With less than two months until the general election on Nov. 3, Ginsburg’s vacancy on the Supreme Court allows President Donald Trump the opportunity to solidify the conservative majority on the court. In her post, Madonna expressed hope that Ginsburg’s replacement would arrive after the election. “She...
