Kim Kardashian is opening up about a major setback in her ongoing legal journey — revealing that she didn’t pass the California Bar Exam. The reality star and business mogul shared the news on her Instagram Stories earlier this week, writing, “Well… I’m not a lawyer yet. Six years into this law journey, and I’m still all in until I pass the bar. No shortcuts, no giving up — just more studying and even more determination.” Kardashian explained that although she came close to passing, she’s using the experience as motivation to keep pushing forward. “I was so close this time, and that only motivated me even more,” she added. The SKIMS founder began studying law back in 2018 through California’s apprenticeship program, which allows aspiring attorneys to train under a practicing lawyer rather than attend a traditional law school. In 2021, she passed the First-Year Law Students’ Examination — better known as the “baby bar” — after failing it three times. This latest attempt was for the full California Bar Exam, the final step before earning her license to practice law. Though the result wasn’t what she hoped for, Kardashian made it clear she isn’t backing down. Beyond her studies, Kim has continued her work in criminal justice reform, helping advocate for wrongfully incarcerated individuals and raising awareness about systemic issues in the prison system. “Failing short isn’t failure — it’s fuel,” she reportedly wrote, emphasizing that this is just another chapter in her long-term goal of becoming a licensed attorney.

Stefon Diggs has reportedly been confirmed as the father of a seven-month-old baby girl named Charliee Harper Diggs Lopera. The confirmation came after a paternity test was completed and verified by the mother’s legal team. Aileen Lopera, a model who also goes by Lord Gisselle on social media, welcomed the child earlier this year. Her attorney, Tamar G. Arminak, confirmed the results in a statement saying, “We can confirm that Mr. Diggs is the father. And, we are hopeful he that he will meaningfully contribute to the child’s life and coparent with our client who has had to do everything on her own thus far.” View this post on Instagram Lopera first filed legal documents in December 2024 while she was still pregnant, requesting the court to determine a parental relationship with Diggs. The filing stated that she was carrying the NFL player’s unborn child and asked for both legal and physical custody, while still granting him visitation rights. At the time, Diggs challenged the claim and asked for genetic testing to confirm whether he was the father. In those same court documents, he noted that if the test proved he was the biological parent, he wanted joint legal and physical custody as well as shared responsibility for pregnancy, birth, and legal expenses. Court records show Lopera gave her daughter Diggs’ last name, naming her Charliee Harper Diggs Lopera. The matter of custody and co-parenting is still being worked out privately between both parties. The news comes as Diggs prepares to welcome another child with his current partner, Cardi B. The rapper revealed in an interview earlier this fall that she is pregnant with her fourth child, her first with Diggs. “I’m having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs,” Cardi said. “I’m happy. I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong, very powerful that I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby.”

The dispute between Jay-Z and Lillie Coley, godmother of Rymir Satterthwaite, remains unresolved. It continues to attract attention. Coley’s lawsuit claimed the rapper neglected responsibilities tied to his alleged paternity. This was dismissed by a California judge. But the case is far from over—Coley has filed an appeal. This signals that this high-profile legal saga is set to unfold further. Satterthwaite has long asserted that Jay-Z is his biological father. This claim is consistently denied by the rapper and his legal team. The recent ruling by Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett paused Coley’s lawsuit. It also opened the door to potential sanctions if the court determines the case is frivolous. Coley initially alleged that Jay-Z failed to meet obligations related to DNA testing and other parental responsibilities. Despite the dismissal, Coley quickly filed a notice of appeal with the Ninth Circuit. She claims the appellate court will review aspects of the case that the lower court did not address. Moving from an amended appeal to a reconsideration appeal appears to be a deliberate strategic adjustment by her legal team. The case is further complicated by prior rulings. These include a 2022 New Jersey order restricting Coley and Satterthwaite from filing new paternity claims without court approval. This limitation could hinder the potential success of the latest appeal. Particularly as Jay-Z’s legal team seeks financial penalties for what they view as misguided legal actions. Jay-Z Paternity Case Keeps Public Watching Recently, Coley sought an emergency restraining order to prevent Jay-Z from pursuing legal consequences. A request Judge Garnett denied. These developments highlight the ongoing legal hurdles Coley and Satterthwaite face. They also highlight the persistent challenges of litigating paternity disputes involving high-profile figures. Beyond the courtroom, the case illuminates the intersection of celebrity culture and legal scrutiny. Allegations against Jay-Z have fueled speculation for years, and despite setbacks, public fascination continues. Media coverage and social discourse amplify the story, keeping attention focused on this unfolding legal drama. As the appeal moves forward, observers caution against expecting a swift resolution. The court’s decisions will carry weight. Yet the debate over Jay-Z’s alleged paternity is likely to continue in both legal and public spheres. While this chapter of the case may be temporarily closed, its impact remains significant. Regardless of the final verdict, curiosity and speculation surrounding Jay-Z’s personal life show no sign of fading.

Offset is reportedly refusing to back down as his divorce from Cardi B turns increasingly bitter. According to multiple reports, the former Migos rapper rejected a ten million dollar settlement offer from Cardi and is allegedly demanding half of their shared assets. Sources close to the situation claim Offset believes he deserves a significant share, saying he “feels used” and that he “helped build that brand” during their marriage. The tension between the two has been escalating for months. Cardi previously accused Offset of holding her “hostage” by stalling the divorce with excessive financial demands. During a livestream, she said the only reason their separation was not finalized was because “somebody wants me to pay for their taxes and give them one of my properties.” The Bronx rapper’s comments quickly went viral, with fans divided on who they believe is in the right. Court filings suggest Offset is seeking joint legal and physical custody of their children, as well as shared responsibility for certain financial obligations tied to their marriage. In response, Cardi’s legal team is expected to present documents that highlight her independent earnings, including her business ventures, endorsement deals, and music-related income. Those close to Cardi say she is prepared to prove that she built her own wealth before and during their relationship. Neither Cardi B nor Offset has made any public statements addressing these recent claims, leaving fans and media outlets to speculate about the outcome. Despite the drama, Offset recently spoke openly about his regrets, admitting, “I should’ve respected her way more. I made bad decisions as a man. I was being selfish.” His candid reflection shows a softer side amid an otherwise tense legal battle. As both sides prepare for what could be a lengthy process, the industry continues to watch how one of hip-hop’s most talked-about divorces will unfold.

Kendrick Lamar is once again at the center of Grammy history. The Compton-born rapper leads this year’s nominations with nine in total, the most of any artist heading into the 68th Grammy Awards. The ceremony will be held on February 1st at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, where Lamar will go head-to-head with Lady Gaga for Album of the Year in one of the most anticipated showdowns of the season. Lamar’s nominated project, GNX, arrived with almost no warning last November and quickly became one of the most talked-about releases of the year. The album earned widespread praise for its storytelling and production, and its nomination makes Lamar the first solo artist ever to have five consecutive studio albums compete for Album of the Year. His consistency and ability to evolve with every project have cemented his status as one of the most influential voices in modern hip-hop. This latest recognition follows his major wins at the previous Grammy ceremony, where he took home Record of the Year and Song of the Year for Not Like Us. That song, which many fans saw as a statement moment in his ongoing rivalry with Drake, was also performed during his highly acclaimed Super Bowl halftime appearance. This year, Lamar is once again nominated for Record and Song of the Year, this time for Luther, his soulful collaboration with SZA that samples the Luther Vandross and Cheryl Lynn classic If This World Were Mine. As Kendrick Lamar continues to redefine what it means to be a rap artist at the Grammys, his dominance this season proves that he remains one of music’s most commanding forces. Whether he finally takes home Album of the Year or not, his impact on the culture and the industry is undeniable.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is confronting a setback in his effort to maintain sobriety while serving time at FCI Fort Dix. This facility is known for rehabilitation programs that can allow inmates to reduce their sentences. According to recent reports from TMZ, the music mogul was allegedly found consuming homemade alcohol on prison grounds. This development could complicate both his recovery and his chances for early release. The homemade brew reportedly consisted of Fanta, sugar, and apples, fermented over roughly two weeks. After being caught, Diddy was expected to be transferred to another unit. However, prison officials decided to allow him to remain in his current housing, offering him a second chance. Officials’ decision may reflect the lower security classification of his unit. Yet, the incident raises concerns about Diddy’s ongoing struggle with alcohol. He has previously cited drinking as a factor in his incarceration. Just before his sentencing in October, he told Judge Arun Subramanian that he was sober for the first time in 25 years. Diddy was reportedly caught drinking behind bars at Fort Dix TMZ reports he was busted by prison officials after making homemade alcohol using Fanta, sugar, and apples, a common inmate brew that ferments over two weeks. Officials initially planned to move him to another unit,… pic.twitter.com/BKhqcSl7Aw — Kurrco (@Kurrco) November 7, 2025 Rehab Progress in Question In a heartfelt letter to the court, Diddy wrote, “The old me died in jail and a new version of me was reborn. Prison will change you or kill you – I choose to live.” While relapses are not uncommon for those contending with addiction, this episode casts doubt on his progress. Additionally, it complicates the narrative of his rehabilitation. Diddy specifically requested placement at Fort Dix to participate in the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP). This program can allow inmates to reduce their sentences by up to a year if they maintain good behavior. Incidents like this, however, could hinder his rehabilitation efforts and jeopardize the early release he has been pursuing.

Blueface’s release from prison sparked anticipation for a fresh start. However, the moment has been complicated by personal tensions. His former partners, Chrisean Rock and Jaidyn Alexis, have each vied for his attention as he adjusts to life outside confinement. Despite their efforts, Blueface has made clear he is not looking to reignite past relationships. He voiced his perspective on X (formerly Twitter), reflecting on post-release disappointments. “I got out thinking I had a girlfriend/angela [lock emoji] in [.], but nothing is ever really locked in,” he wrote. Looking ahead, he added, “Now I’m back on the prowl for some serious.” Blueface did not shy away from criticizing both women for their perceived absence during his incarceration. “Both of my BMs left me in prison stranded for dead,” he stated. This emphasized the impact of their absence. He continued, “If I wasn’t out today, they’d still be fggin off… they will never get the chance to do that again.” He added, “When you do time you will never forget who left you there… if either of them think they could ever get back with me under one roof, they high off dck an balls.” Blueface Reflects After Release At the same time, he acknowledged Chrisean’s support more favorably. “Chrisean looked out for me more than Jaidyn tho just to keep it all da way [100 emoji]… That’s why I half-way respect her,” he tweeted. His comments highlight the nuanced dynamics as he reclaims independence. This period represents a pivotal moment for Blueface, who was incarcerated on a probation violation linked to a 2021 assault case. His release included a lighter family moment. His mother, Karlissa Saffold, shared a humorous video of someone buried under bed covers while teasing him. Shortly afterward, he confirmed his freedom to fans on X, marking the beginning of a new chapter.

Claressa Shields isn’t just breaking records—she’s breaking barriers. The undisputed boxing star just signed an $8 million multi-fight deal, and while the money makes headlines, Shields is more excited about the message it sends to the next generation of fighters. Speaking to HOT 97, she made it clear: this is about more than her own success—it’s about creating a blueprint for women in the sport. “Overall, I think it’s definitely gonna influence,” Shields said. “If I can do an $8 million deal, I know the girls who are coming up—they can make $20 million, $25 million.

Shields isn’t just winning in the ring—she’s rewriting the rules.

In the tangled web of hip-hop, friendships and rivalries often intertwine. SZA, one of music’s most captivating voices, has managed to maintain meaningful ties with both Kendrick Lamar and Drake—two artists whose public tension has shaped much of rap’s recent discourse. Her ability to remain poised in that crossfire has sparked conversation about where she stands amid the feud. The long-running clash between Lamar and Drake has affected their shared collaborators, with SZA finding herself in the middle. Earlier this year, she joined Kendrick on tour, their onstage chemistry deepening an already solid creative bond. But she also teamed up with Drake on For All the Dogs, lending her vocals to the standout track “Rich Baby Daddy.” The collaboration drew attention precisely because of the rift between the two rappers. In a recent interview with GQ, SZA addressed critics who questioned why she performed “Rich Baby Daddy” during her shows. “Why wouldn’t I? ‘Poetic Justice’ was in the set list, so why wouldn’t I keep ‘Rich Baby Daddy’?” she said confidently. Her response reflected not just self-assurance, but a deep commitment to her artistry and independence as a performer. Finding Balance in a Divided Industry SZA spoke candidly about her decision to remain neutral amid the feud, describing the dispute as something between two “grown-ass men.” “I didn’t feel the need to get involved,” she said, adding that her loyalty to both artists runs deep. “I didn’t really have any stake, per se. Obviously, I love Kendrick. I’m signed to TDE; that’s my family. And I’ve known Drake for ages; we share a wonderful connection.” Her words reflect a rare balance—acknowledging the emotional complexity of working with both sides while staying grounded in her own principles. For SZA, the relationships transcend industry politics. They’re rooted in mutual respect, creative admiration, and years of shared history. When asked about working with Kendrick Lamar, SZA spoke with admiration and warmth. “He’s such a professional human,” she said. “His methodical yet fluid approach is truly beautiful.” For her, collaborating with Kendrick is both a learning experience and a reminder of why she values artistic honesty. “I love collaborating with him,” she added. “I just go with it. And I appreciate that sense of freedom too.” That willingness to trust her instincts and embrace spontaneity has become a defining part of SZA’s creative process—and one that continues to connect her deeply with her audience.

In a surprising turn, Ye (formally known as Kanye West) appears to be reexamining his past remarks about the Jewish community and the controversies that followed. The rapper and fashion mogul recently met with Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, expressing remorse and a desire to move forward with greater understanding. The meeting, shared by Rabbi Pinto on Instagram, offered a glimpse into an unexpectedly warm and introspective exchange. “A person is not defined by his mistakes but by how he chooses to rectify them,” the rabbi wrote. “This embodies true strength: The capacity to return, learn, and create connections of love and peace.” During their conversation, West reportedly spoke with humility, seeking forgiveness and expressing a sincere wish to promote unity among communities. The encounter ended on a hopeful note, with both men stressing the need for compassion, honesty, and peace as essential steps toward healing past divisions. View this post on Instagram A Change in Perspective The reason behind West’s change of heart remains uncertain, but his words suggest a renewed sense of accountability. Earlier this year, he declared an end to his antisemitic comments. “I am done with antisemitism,” he tweeted in May. “I love all people. God forgive me for the pain I’ve caused. I forgive those who have caused me pain.” According to reports, this transformation may have been sparked by a FaceTime conversation with his children. West also credited Jonah Hill’s performance in 21 Jump Street with helping him rediscover empathy for Jewish people. Reflecting on that moment, he said, “No one should take anger against one or two individuals and turn it into hatred towards millions of innocent people.” West’s recent outreach reflects a sincere attempt to confront his past and grow from it. His willingness to seek dialogue and forgiveness represents a meaningful step toward rebuilding trust—not only within the Jewish community but also among fans who once admired his artistry and influence. As his journey unfolds, many will be watching closely to see whether this period of self-reflection leads to lasting change. For now, his efforts to rebuild through faith, accountability, and compassion suggest a new chapter—one defined less by controversy and more by an effort to reconcile and repair.
