We’re only a few months away from watching Denzel put on a show as former slave-turned-wealthy power broker Macrinus in long-awaited blockbuster sequel Gladiator II.

The iconic actor, 69, will recruit the gladiator of all gladiators as his instrument to overthrow the Roman empire years after the first Gladiator film that won the Oscar for Best Picture.

“Denzel is an arms dealer who supplies food for the armies in Europe, supplies wine and oil, makes steel, makes spears, weapons, cannons, and catapults,” revealed Director Ridley Scott in an interview with Vanity Fair. “So he is a very wealthy man. Instead of having a stable of racehorses, he has a stable of gladiators. He’s beautiful. He drives a golden Ferrari. I got him a gold-plated chariot.”

Interestingly, the real-life Macrinus actually became Emperor of Rome after assassinating Caracalla (widely regarded as one of Rome’s cruelest leaders) in 217.

In true Denzel fashion, his scene-stealing character has his signature New York accent that continues to fuel hilarious discourse across the internet.

“Well, the thing was, where are we?” said Washington about his creative choice in the most recent issue of Empire magazine. “Whose accent would it be? What does that sound like anyway? You’re going to end up imitating someone and end up with a bad African accent.”

In Gladiator II, the epic saga continues with a new titular character named Lucius (Paul Mescal) who’s forced to enter the Colosseum after his home is conquered by the tyrannical Emperors who now lead Rome with an iron fist.

‘With rage in his heart and the future of the Empire at stake, Lucius must look to his past to find strength and honor to return the glory of Rome to its people,’ per the official synopsis.

Messy Mastermind Metro Boomin Reflects On Drake & Kendrick Lamar’s Beef– ‘It’s Just Entertainment At The End Of The Day’

Despite being an essential piece that kickstarted the beef with Drake and Kendrick Lamar, Metro Boomin shrugged it off, calling it “just entertainment.”

The feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake is still heavy on the minds of hip-hop lovers everywhere, and with neither rapper speaking publicly about the feud, it lets consumer imagination run wild.

Most recently a two-hour YouTube video decoding Drake’s “Family Matters” picked up steam and reignited the beef, at least for the fans.

In a new interview during the Forbes Under 30 Summit, Metro Boomin was asked about the beef from a producer’s perspective. According to Metro, “stan culture” has changed Hip-Hop beef and made it “kind of weird” in 2024.

“I feel like the competition is great for the game,” said Metro. “Hip-hop has always been more of a competitive genre, even if just keeping it on music. And it’s not serious how everybody tries to make it. Because also with hip-hop, there’s a lot of ego involved. You’re supposed to feel like you’re the best. Everybody from the highest to the lowest guy, you’re supposed to at least feel like you’re the best.”

Without mentioning Kendrick or Drake, Drake told the audience that it’s possible to be fans of both artists because things aren’t as “deep” as they think.

“Back in the day, Jay-Z and Nas went at it but I was a fan of both of ‘em,” he said. “Most people were. And it’s like, okay. It’s okay. It’s not like I hate this side, I hate this side. The internet just makes it a little too wild now. But I feel like it’s good for the game and as far as me being diplomatic, it’s just entertainment at the end of the day. I have love and respect for all my collaborators. I just wanna see everybody do the best and continue to help push this forward because we’re all here to deposit in and uplift this genre and push it forward. This is our era so it’s really our responsibility to keep pushing it forward for the next one.”

Honestly, we hear you Metro, but in a time where fans are being nickeled and dimed to death to support artists, stan culture is almost unavoidable.

Jaguar II Truth: Victoria Monét Says She & Boyfriend John Gaines Quietly Called It Quits 10 Months Ago, Shuts Down ‘Toxic’ Relationship Rumors

Victoria Monét is speaking her Jaguar II truth. The songstress recently confirmed that she and her boo John Gaines, have split — but it’s “Alright.” Despite their relationship status, the former pair are actively working together to co-parent their 3-year-old daughter, Hazel.

On Sept. 23, the “On My Mama” hitmaker and the fitness trainer shared a joint statement on X (formerly Twitter), announcing that they made an amicable decision to end their romantic relationship 10 months ago. They noted that they initially chose to avoid a formal statement but felt compelled to clarify their relationship status after receiving “questions” and “extremely false accusations” connected to their romance.

One such rumor alleged that the singer had started dating Gaines while he was dating another woman.

The duo reassured fans that “no infidelity, toxic behavior nor drama” led to the unexpected split. While they “still completely adore and respect each other” Victoria and John, who runs a fitness program called Gains by Gaines, revealed that they both had “some fundamental growing to do that would be best done apart” so that they can be the “best versions” of themselves for their daughter Hazel, who they welcomed in February 2021.

“It simply didn’t work out and that’s OK. We still think the world of each other and operate with love in every interaction for our family,” the pair continued. “We are committed to doing the inner work and trust that God will place us both where we belong in due time.”

Before announcing their decision, the couple reflected on whether they owed an explanation about their situation. They acknowledged how social media can distort reality and chose to be open to clarify their status and help with their healing process.

“To all our supporters, friends and family, thank you for your love, care and concern. Please allow us the peace and space to maintain a safe and happy environment to continue to co-parent the best of our ability for Hazel. We plan to remain a family regardless of our public facing title,” the former lovebirds added in their X statement.

How did Victoria and John meet?

According to Us Magazine, Victoria met John while filming the music video for her hit song “Moment” in 2020. It’s uncertain whether they were romantically involved then, but the video featured plenty of passionate kisses between the two. John made his public debut with Victoria in February, shortly after she became a three-time Grammy winner at the 2024 GRAMMYs, where their adorable then 2-year-old daughter cheered from the audience. The family turned heads on the red carpet in stylish outfits, causing a paparazzi frenzy.

In February 2021, John and Victoria proudly welcomed Hazel, announcing the news on Instagram with a touching photo of her tiny hand nestled between theirs. While they never married, Victoria shared in a September 2021 ESSENCE interview that marrying John was part of her big “plan.”

The Grammy winner added at the time;

“We’re completely in love and enjoying our new chapter … [Hazel has] really got him wrapped around her finger, and I’ve seen him change in ways that I know he didn’t expect. She’s growing us up.”

Sad to hear!

Wishing you all the best, John and Victoria.

Displeasure Principle: Janet Jackson’s ‘Apology’ For Repeating QAnon Questioning Of Kamala Harris’ Blackness Was Unauthorized

Damnit, Damita Jo!

Janet Jackson’s team has denied that she issued an apology for comments she made leaning into right wing and QAnon conspiracy theories that Vice President Kamala Harris is not Black. According to Jackson’s representatives, someone purporting to be her manager released an unauthorized statement on her behalf saying her words were based on “misinformation.”

The statement picked up by BuzzFeed and other outlets was attributed to a man named Mo Elmasri and it read:

“Janet Jackson would like to clarify her recent comments. She recognizes that her statements regarding Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial identity were based on misinformation. Janet respects Harris’ dual heritage as both Black and Indian and apologizes for any confusion caused. She values the diversity Harris represents and understands the importance of celebrating that in today’s society.”

On Monday, Jackson’s team clarified to Variety that Elmasri is not associated with the singer. Elmasri, an Egyptian filmmaker and founder of 24 East Agency, identified himself as a now-former manager of Jackson, and claimed to have been dismissed by Jackson and her brother, Randy, after efforts to “improve her image.”

“Janet Jackson fired me due to disagreements between me, her, and Randy, after her meeting with the Guardian and her unbalanced statements,” The Daily Beast reports Mo Elmasri told them in an emailed statement.

“That’s all I can say,” he added. When asked for further comment, he said he could not “receive phone calls due to the large number of calls,” while adding, “All support to Kamala Harris.”

Variety reports that Jackson’s actual management team has been led by her brother Randy Jackson for many years, and the siblings are currently mourning the recent passing of their brother Tito, making them unavailable for comment at the time of the incident.

What Did Janet Jackson Say About Kamala Harris?

Over the weekend, an interview with Janet was published by The Guardian in which she kookily questioned the accuracy of Kamala Harris’ racial background.

“‘Well, you know what they supposedly said?’” Jackson told the news outlet. “‘She’s not Black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.’”

“Her father’s white. That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days,” she said. “I was told that they discovered her father was white.”

Her comments sparked backlash from fans disappointed to hear that Damita Jo was mirroring conspiracy theory right-wing talking points comments made by Sunkist Stalin who alleged that Harris “turned Black.”

Harris’ father has been confirmed to be a Jamaican immigrant who came to the U.S. to pursue a PhD in economics. Madame VP’s mom, who died in 2009, was an Indian immigrant.

You Can Hear Her Diamonds! Doja Cat Addresses Joseph Quinn Ring Rumors

Are wedding bells ringing for Doja Cat???

On Sept. 21, the 28-year-old singer took to the stage at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, where she caused quite a stir by flashing a large ring on her left hand during her performance. While singing a verse from her popular song, “Agora Hills,” the hitmaker popped out her hand and proudly flaunted her shiny ring to the audience, according to a video posted to X on Sept. 22.

Fans quickly began speculating whether the huge shiny rock meant she and her new boyfriend, Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn, were getting engaged. However, the excitement was short-lived. In a since-deleted post on X, Doja Cat—whose full name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini—swiftly shut down the rumors, leaving fans to breathe a sigh of relief or disappointment, depending on their perspective.

“No, I’m not engaged its a David Yurman ring with no rocks in it,” the “Paint The Town Red” singer penned on Sept. 22.

For now, it seems that romance is still in the air between the famous couple, but wedding plans are not on the horizon.

Doja Cat and Joseph Quinn were spotted packing on PDA in London last month.

In mid August, Doja Cat made her relationship with the 30-year-old actor official when the two were spotted sharing some affectionate moments during an outing in London. Photos obtained by the gossip blog DeuxMoi captured the “Say So” singer resting her head on the shoulder of the A Quiet Place: Day One actor as they enjoyed a night out at Dingwalls, looking cozy and carefree. The Independent reported that the two were also seen having drinks before their close encounter at Dingwalls.

The couple’s romance comes almost two years after Doja Cat first expressed her interest in the star following the release of Stranger Things Season 4, which caused a bit of drama at the time. Doja Cat contacted Noah Schnapp, a castmate of the Hollywood standout, asking him to let Joseph know to hit her up and to find out if he was single. Instead of passing along her message, Noah posted her request in a now-deleted TikTok in July 2022, captioning the photo with;

“Thirsty Doja.”

The Grammy-winner slammed Noah for being “so unbelievably socially unaware and wack,” in a TikTok video posted that same month.

Although she was frustrated by the sharing of her private DM, Doja Cat continued to express her crush on Joseph publicly. In a now-deleted X post from May 2022, she boldly stated;

“Joseph Quinn fine as s–t.”

Looks like Doja Cat manifested her man!

‘Too Late’ Or Too Scared? Donald Trump Ducks & Dodges Kamala Harris Challenging Him To 2nd Debate

Kamala Harris Accepts the Debate, Trump Turns Tail

Donald Trump is running scared—and it’s not just from those lawsuits and criminal cases—he’s ducking and dodging a second presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. The former president backpedaling proves once again that he’ll tell others to fight while he flees the action, just like on Jan. 6.

Kamala Harris came out swinging when she accepted CNN’s invitation to a second debate scheduled for Oct. 23, just under two weeks before the 2024 presidential election. In true fighter fashion, Harris took to X (formerly Twitter) and taunted her opponent, writing,

“I will gladly accept a second presidential debate on October 23. I hope @realDonaldTrump will join me” (X).

But did Trump take the bait? Of course not.

Trump: “It’s Too Late” for a Debate Rematch

Instead of stepping up for another round, Trump scurried to his comfort zone—a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina. According to Politico, he told supporters, 

“She’s done one debate, I’ve done two. It’s too late to do another.”

His excuse? Early voting had already begun in states like Minnesota, Virginia, and South Dakota, so why debate now? “It’s too late. The voting is cast, the voters are out there,” he said. As if facing his opponent would be too much to handle when ballots are already flying in. Puh-lease!

Sounds like someone’s afraid of taking another L in front of America.

Harris’ Team: “Donald Shouldn’t Be Scared”

The Vice President’s campaign, smelling blood in the water, wasted no time throwing shade back at Trump. In Newsweek, Jen O’Malley Dillon, Harris’ campaign chair, kept it real in a statement:

“Donald Trump should have no problem agreeing to this debate. It is the same format and setup as the CNN debate he attended and said he won in June.”

The implication was clear—Trump’s dodging because he knows he might not come out on top this time.

Remember how he taunted Biden after their presidential debate? He even kept mentioning—excuse me—ridiculing sick Biden during his debate with Harris when he thought he had won. 

What a sore loser. 

Let’s also not forget Trump’s infamous boast after the first debate on Sept. 10, when he faced Harris. He confidently said he won, even though most observers handed the victory to Harris. 

On Truth Social, Trump’s response was posted to Harris’ call for a rematch, claiming that the only reason she wanted another debate was because he “won” the first one.

 “When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, ‘I WANT A REMATCH,’” Trump wrote. 

He’s not convincing anyone but the most die-hard MAGA crowd.

The Real and Reactions: Trump is “Scared”

Tim Ryan, former Ohio representative and frequent Trump critic, wasn’t about to let this pass either. In The Guardian, he slams Trump’s refusal to debate, saying it’s not just strategy—it’s fear. 

“Behind the beard and the tan and the hair there are two scared little boys.” 

Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of why Trump’s running scared. After all, he’s got a lot to lose. His first debate performance in June against President Joe Biden was seen by many as a win, but Biden’s lackluster showing ended up leading to his withdrawal from the race. 

With Harris stepping into the spotlight and outperforming him in their first head-to-head in Philadelphia, Trump’s campaign knew another round could further dent his carefully cultivated image as the “tough guy” who never backs down.

Harris Flexes: Campaign Dominates Fundraising

The Harris campaign has been on the offense, raking in triple the funds Trump’s team pulled in August, showing that momentum is firmly on their side. And Team Harris isn’t letting up, pushing the narrative that the American people deserve a second debate before the Nov. 5 election. 

Jen O’Malley Dillon, Biden’s campaign manager, shared a statement in Newsweek: 

“It would be unprecedented in modern history for there to just be one general election debate.” 

And she’s got a point. In previous election cycles, voters were offered multiple debates to see the candidates spar on various issues.

Trump Says No Thanks, Voters Left in the Dark

By dodging another debate, Trump risks giving the impression that he’s not up to the challenge—something Harris’ campaign is more than happy to remind voters of.

The battle lines are drawn, and Harris is ready to fight. But Trump is deciding to bail, just like he’s done with several business flops. We’ve seen how confidently he confronted Biden, but Harris has him SHOOK! And rightfully so, based on the polling numbers. 

Guess we’ll see if that strategy works for him—or if running from a fight only makes the L’s pile up faster.

Khloe Kardashian’s Konfidant Khadijah Haqq Requests Divorce Court To Deny Bobby McCray Spousal Support

, ,

Khadijah Haqq and Bobby McCray called it quits after 13 years of marriage, and the divorce drama is already getting messy over money as they each request spousal support. Haqq cited irreconcilable differences and the cause for the marriage’s dissolution. The couple’s differences are becoming apparent as they cannot agree on anything when it comes to ending their relationship.

According to In Touch, Haqq filed for divorce on August 16. As a result, McCray filed a petition for spousal support on August 16. However, the mother of four is unwilling to cough up the cash. In fact, she requested that McCray’s petition be denied and then requested her soon-to-be ex pay her monthly support.

Related Stories

During the marriage, Haqq and McCray welcomed three children: Christian (13), Celine (10), and Kapri (3). Before he met Khloe Kardashian’s bestie, McCray had a son, Bobby III, making Haqq a stepmother. As for their three children together, Haqq is requesting primary physical and legal custody. In court paperwork, McCray asks for joint custody of their kids.

The 41-year-old mother is asking McCray to cover legal fees for the divorce proceedings, while McCray is asking Haqq to do the same. Additionally, Haqq listed their date of separation as July 17, 2023, the couple’s 13th wedding anniversary. McCray disagrees, stating the two separated on July 7, 2023.

As expected, the former couple have accrued property together. Haqq’s lawyer stated they are still determining how to split their assets.

“[Khadijah] is presently unaware of the full nature and extent of the community and quasi-community property assets and obligations. [Khadijah] seeks leave of Court to amend this Response when the same has been ascertained,” they said.

Khadijah Haqq Announced Divorce Via Social Media

Though the couple remained relatively quiet about their relationship, a year ago, Haqq decided it was best to announce her divorce from Bobby McCray, a former NFL player who notably played for the Philadelphia Eagles and the New Orleans Saints.

“Now more than ever I have been relying on prayer. Family is so important to me. Unfortunately, life has brought me to tremendous transition. After 13 years of marriage, 16 years together and 4 incredible children, I have come to the intensely difficult conclusion that while Bobby & I have a great deal of love for one other, it’s best we move forward separately.” Haqq announced. “I did not come to this decision lightly. For the most part, I have kept my relationship private for the benefit of our family. I share this not because I believe it’s newsworthy – But so that we go about our lives with honesty and to begin the journey of co-parenting. I’m so grateful for my incredible support system,” she wrote.

Khloe Kardashian has not publicly commented about her bestie’s divorce but is seemingly a part of her support group. According to In Touch, the two met just before the millennium in 1999 and have been tight ever since. Another part of their trio and Haqq’s twin sister Malika has also been supportive of her sister.

You may recall that Malika welcomed a baby boy with O.T. Genasis in 2020. The two called it quits before their son arrived but have reported a healthy and happy co-parenting relationship.

Tia Kemp Accuses Rick Ross Of Appearing On Diddy ‘Tapes’ & Murder-For-Hire: ‘I’m Finna Send The Feds Over There’

Tia Kemp and Rick Ross‘ baby mama drama took a serious turn with threats to “send the feds” over accusations about the rapper’s dealings with Diddy and even murder. The two have taken to social media several times over the years to throw shade at one another. However, it looks like their rocky relationship is too far gone after Kemp’s recent rant.

Kemp and Ross share one child, who is now 18 years old. Nevertheless, Kemp is seemingly fed up with Ross and his family because now she is accusing her child’s father of murder and murder-for-hire. The mother of three recently posted a new rant to Instagram in which she addressed Ross and his family. After Ross’s sister, Tawanda Roberts, accused Kemp of attacking her, Kemp responded directly to her.

“So we finna clock this tea right here, Renee,” Kemp began. “Since you want to stay keeping up s***, we finna talk about some real tea. Your brother over there paying people to put hits out and n***as running off with his money, and it’s getting back to me.”

According to HipHopDX, Kemp then threatened to alert the authorities.

“So now, I’m finna send the feds over there to y’all motherf***ing empire,” she stated.

To add fuel to the fire, Kemp began naming names, showing that she was serious. The “Aunt-Teas” podcast host alleged that Ross had something to do with the death of someone she called “Miss Carol.”

“Next, we’re going to talk about Miss Carol’s murder,” she stated. “Y’all know who Miss Carol is. You know that’s behind your brother. I’m finna make sure her family sues y’all whole estate ’cause that case [did] not [close]. You know the lady that was killed leaving from my momma house getting her hair done that time.”

Kemp doubled down on Ross’s involvement and implicated him in a separate murder.

“And it’s behind your brother and his drama. You know that. You know! ‘Bout that man who was killed in front of Black house,” she stated.

While this is not the first time Kemp and Ross have taken low blows at one another, this might be the most shocking yet. However, Kemp also alluded to Ross’s involvement with Sean “Diddy” Combs. As BOSSIP reported, Combs was recently arrested on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Since Diddy’s downfall, Kemp has weaponized Ross’s relationship with Diddy for her online rants.

Most recently, Kemp stated that Ross is probably scared as he may appear on the footage Diddy created during his frequent parties and “freak-offs.”

“Don’t be scared now!” she stated. “No Diddy. You scared now, huh? I know you on them tapes. Freaky b****. I know you is. 10 children having motherf***er. I ain’t gonna let off you … What you quiet for? Nobody wants to see your Louis [Vuitton] outfits and sneakers, b****. Nobody don’t don’t care to see the jets no more. You running out of h*es now. Go over there and give Diddy a hug. Go ride the bike with him, you fat b***h.”

At this time, Rick Ross nor his time has addressed the allegations.

Kanye West seems to be over the legal fallout from his actions in recent years, settling a battery case with a known photographer.

During Kanye West’s turbulent 2022, he had several run-ins with paparazzi which mirrored his early 2010’s behavior. In the 2010s as Kanye adapted to being one of the most famous people in the world he had a rough relationship with media.

On January 13, 2022 autograph dealer Justin Poplawski allegedly waited outside a Los Angeles warehouse waiting for Kanye to emerge for a signature. Instead, he alleges Kanye exited the warehouse hurled cuss words, and promised violence if he didn’t leave.

“Get the f–k [out of] here before I beat you the f–k up. I’m going to make a f–king example out of you.” Justin alleges Kanye yelled him before striking him. “So do you want to get attacked for real?” Ye allegedly asked after striking him.

Just alleges he asked Ye to apologize but he refused leaving him confused as he’s gotten autographs on previous occasions. According to InTouch Weekly, Justin sued and is now settling his lawsuit with Kanye West. Furthermore, he alleges he was left with medical bills and emotional trauma. The amount of the settlement hasn’t been disclosed however Ye denies any wrongdoings. Also, Ye allegedly claims he acted to “protect him” and believes his actions at the moment were “justified,” said his lawyer.

Another “just sign the autograph” story in celebrity lore when not doing so comes back to bite entertainers in the long run.

Far Right Thurrr: Chingy Defends Performing At Trump Event But Backs Out Of The Appearance Anyway

Chingy was about to give Trump supporters what he got for a pork chop but the internet bullied him into changing his mind.

The St. Louis rapper initially defended his right to perform whurrrever his fans are willing to see him but seems to have had a change of heart after social media turned him every which way but loose. In response to criticism he said,

“I’m a say this one time. MY JOB IS TO PERFORM AND I GET PAID TO PERFORM, NOT CAURR ABOUT POLITICS. NOW YALL FIND SUMIN ELSE TO DO WITH YURR TIME.”

He also took time to address fans who were worried that he’d fallen on hard times and needed to make a quick coin. After all, tickets for the event start at $1,000.

“You can’t be down bad when you just bought a 500k house pimp,” he said. “Those people don’t hate me because they love my music. Music isn’t racist and that’s how I play it.

“All this nonsense y’all creating bothers me none. I’m a performer, whether these people are political, homosexual, or whatever—they all love music… I have classic records they all love, and I will perform them for them. So I hope that helps you understand that my job as an artist is to perform and make timeless music. That I did.”

The age old “music doesn’t see color” adage. How fitting. After going on to respond to several commenters on social media, Chingy ultimately decided to pull out of the performance.

“YOU KNO WHAT JUS CAUSE I DONT WANT TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS MESS. I HAVE DECLINED PERFORMING AND NO IM NOT A TRUMP SUPPORTER NOT SUPPORTER OF ANYONE ELSE BUT CHINGY. THURR YOU HAVE IT,” he said.

Glad he cleared that up. In the meantime, the “Holidae Inn” rapper was honored by his hometown of St. Louis with an official Chingy Day. The new local holiday was celebrated on Sept. 14.

Here are a few funny tweets about the odd situation:

It was all vibes and real talk when singer Mariah The Scientist and rapper Latto sat down with WNBA superstar Angel Reese on her hit new podcast, Unapologetically Angel. During the candid conversation, Mariah opened up about her relationship with Young Thug, real name Jeffrey Williams, who’s currently facing federal RICO charges. And let’s just say, love knows no bounds—even behind bars.

Mariah didn’t hold back as she shared what it’s been like standing by her man since his arrest in 2022. “I love my man…if somebody told me that a few months into my relationship, my man would get locked up – he’s been locked up now for longer than we were together before he got locked up,” she revealed.

Angel, always quick with the relatable take, compared Mariah’s situation to a long-distance relationship. Mariah agreed, laughing as she said, “At least I get to see him in court,” adding that sometimes she goes just to “breathe his air.”

If you’ve ever had a loved one locked up, you know those calls can come at any moment. Right in the middle of the sit-down, Mariah received a call from none other than Young Thug himself. Without skipping a beat, she briefly updated him on where she was, exchanged sweet “I love you’s,” and got right back into the convo with Angel and Latto. It was a real-life moment that showed just how dedicated she is to her relationship.

For Mariah, this love story started just months before Thug’s arrest. The couple made headlines when rumors of their romance were confirmed in her music video for Walked In, where the two “got married” on screen. Since his arrest, Mariah has been a constant presence in court, holding it down for her man while the trial continues. As of now, Young Thug remains behind bars awaiting a verdict, but that hasn’t stopped Mariah from staying strong and standing by him.

Between Mariah’s openness about her relationship and Latto’s fun energy, this was one sit-down you didn’t want to miss!
