Erica Mena tore into Safaree Samuels after he posted videos from a Chris Brown concert in Miami, calling him the “poster boy” for “deadbeat” dads and accusing him of lying in court to avoid paying child support.

While Safaree shared clips of himself singing along in VIP at Chris Brown’s “Breezy Bowl XX” tour opener earlier this week, Erica was thousands of miles away in Greece, watching from afar—and not impressed.

She unloaded on her Instagram Story, blasting her ex-husband for what she described as performative emotion and parental neglect.

“The world’s poster boy deadbeat at the Chris Brown concert shedding fake tears for yet another man,” she wrote. “Clown, ain’t you in court right now lying under oath about being broke just so you don’t have to lift a finger or a dollar for kids you don’t even see. Even your mother should be ashamed.”

The former Love & Hip Hop star didn’t stop there. She called his behavior “embarrassing” and reminded him that their children need more than social media theatrics. In a follow-up post, she extended her message to other women dealing with absentee fathers.

“To every woman who has reached out to me Thank you. I see you,” she wrote. “Your messages have all touched me. The fact that so many of us are dealing with these so-called fathers who scream ‘broke’ in court is sick. They’d rather flaunt this fake lifestyle over actually providing for their own kids. Flaunting luxury and a fake lifestyle online like it’s a performance.”

She continued, “And let’s not ignore the weak circle of ‘men’ and the women in family who proudly stand with these weak Dead beats who they know don’t even really spend time with their kids let alone provide says so much. It’s disgusting.”

Safaree has not publicly addressed Erica’s pointed remarks but did post a cryptic caption on Instagram that read, “Ya couldn’t pay me to be miserable.”

The two reality TV personalities tied the knot in 2019, welcomed two children together, and finalized their divorce in 2022.

Since then, they’ve been locked in a contentious legal battle over custody and financial support.

Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson are getting dragged into court by a youth leader and exec at the Harold Washington Cultural Center, who says they blasted her with lies on their Nightcap podcast.

Jimalita Tillman is suing the pair for $20 million, claiming they trashed her name, made up a whole fake marriage and ruined her rep after a clip of her interacting with Usher at his Vegas show made the rounds online.

Back on April 2, Tillman says she got pulled up for a lighthearted fan moment during Usher’s residency concert.

In court docs, she said, “I participated in a fan engagement moment at a Usher Raymond concert where I interacted with the artist as a selected audience member.”

The video blew up online because of how flirty it looked, but what happened next is what’s got her lawyering up. According to Tillman, Sharpe and Johnson went on their show Nightcap and told their viewers she was a married woman and that her “husband” was so heated he was filing divorce papers.

She shut that down in her legal filing: “Following this event, the defendants made and disseminated false and defamatory statements suggesting that I was married and that my husband was filing for divorce… I am not married, nor am I currently going through a divorce.”

Tillman said their lies spread fast. The fallout, she says, has been rough. She claims it’s messed with her job, her image, and her personal life.

Even worse, Tillman says she tried reaching out to get the record fixed, but no one from the show responded.

“These requests were disregarded,” she said. “The ongoing misinformation has resulted in emotional distress and adversely affected her personal and professional relationships,” according to The U.S. Sun.

This lawsuit’s one more problem Shannon Sharpe doesn’t need right now. He already had to cut a fat settlement check over a sexual assault lawsuit earlier this year.

That case was dismissed after a confidential settlement — rumored to be between $23 million and $50 million. No charges were filed, but Sharpe always said it was bogus and called it “extortion.”

To make matters worse, earlier this week, ESPN gave him the boot.

Beyoncé and Sydney Sweeney somehow ended up in the same convo this week after Sweeney’s American Eagle campaign got bashed online for being racially tone-deaf—and a pic of Queen Bey’s Levi’s ad got dragged into the mess.

The chaos started when Sydney Sweeney starred in a new American Eagle promo with a brash pun: “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.”

In the ad, Sweeney says, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue.”

The camera zooms in on her icy blue eyes and denim fit and that’s when the internet lost it. Folks on social media, including Doja Cat, slammed the campaign, calling it creepy and saying it pushed eugenics-era vibes.

Critics said the whole “great genes” thing, paired with Sweeney’s white, blonde, blue-eyed look, felt like a nod to white superiority. Some even called it “Nazi propaganda.”

Now, conservative voices jumped in. Senator Ted Cruz and Fox News contributor Nicole Saphier tried to flip the outrage.

Cruz defended the ad by calling Sweeney “beautiful” and trashed the “left” for pushing woke ideology.

“Wow. Now the crazy Left has come out against beautiful women. I’m sure that will poll well,” Ted Cruz wrote on X.

Just going to leave this pic from Beyoncé Levi’s campaign right here for those saying Sydney Sweeney with her blond hair/denim/sultry look is racist… pic.twitter.com/ZyeMF6ouCI

Saphier posted a still from Beyoncé‘s Levi’s “REIIMAGINE” campaign and wrote, “Just going to leave this pic from Beyoncé Levi’s campaign right here for those saying Sydney Sweeney with her blond hair/denim/sultry look is racist.”

That post lit up timelines with people debating whether Beyoncé’s denim campaign was even comparable. Bey’s Levi’s project is a 2025 reboot of old-school Levi’s ads, including “Launderette,” “Pool Hall” and “Refrigerator.”

It’s a full-on aesthetic tribute to vintage denim culture, not a science lesson about DNA.

Cam Newton picked the perfect time to roast Gillie Da Kid—his birthday. On Thursday (July 31), the former NFL MVP showed up to the “party” with a blowtorch.

Gillie, a true Philly boy to the core, had something to say last week when Cam Newton made what some would call “constructive criticism” (others would say shade) about Jalen Hurts, the current QB1 of the Philadelphia Eagles and a champion. Hurts did bring a ring back to Philly and Cam… well… didn’t.

Now, if you know Gillie, you know he bleeds green. Disrespect Jalen Hurts? Not on Gillie’s time. You might as well be talking about Wallo. So Gillie snapped. “Jalen did what Cam couldn’t do,” he barked. That Super Blow sore spot was crazy low.

The original vid came out the day before the IG vid, which was on his birthday.

But Cam Newton wasn’t just gonna eat that slice of humble pie. Oh no. He clapped back with a vengeance. He did not even mention Hurts. Cam sidestepped all that and went straight for the man himself. “I can beat you at anything.” YIKES. Football, life, chess, checkers, hopscotch, podcast ratings, arm wrestling … anything. Well, he cannot rap better than Gillie. I know that for sure!

But, roast was surgical. Cam did not even raise his voice. The tone was somewhere between locker room jabs and cold-blooded shade. Gillie’s initial rant had energy, but Cam’s rebuttal had strategy. And it hurt more coming from a dude who’s actually taken NFL snaps and danced in the end zone.

But, it did not stop the celebration.

Gillie turned 49 in style. He was joined by Wallo, exchanging gifts and stacks of cash. They like two uncles at a block party! Oh, and Big Dom, the legendary Eagles security guard brought Gillie the actual Eagles championship trophy to hold. That’s fan royalty. Gillie even sported his custom Eagles ring.

This back-and-forth? Pure entertainment. Nobody’s catching a case. But if you were keeping score, Cam landed a sneaky W with that birthday burn. Still, both these men are solidified winners in their lanes—Gillie in the content world and Cam in the football annals.

But the next time Cam’s in Philly? He might wanna wear neutral colors.

Donald Trump threw some serious weight around after Dmitry Medvedev ran his mouth with some wild threats that the U.S. President didn’t take lightly.

The ex-Russian prez, now the deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council, clapped back at Trump’s warning to end the Ukraine war in 10 days or face tariffs.

Medvedev dismissed it as a “game” and said Trump’s pressure moves were “a step toward war.” Not just with Ukraine—he called out the U.S. directly.

Trump wasn’t feeling the war rhetoric and dropped a bomb —figuratively— by revealing he was ordering two U.S. nuclear subs to move into “appropriate regions” on August 1, 2025.

President Trump jumped on Truth Social and fired off: “Just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that… words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences.”

He also told Medvedev to “watch his words” and called him a “failed former President of Russia who thinks he’s still president.” Trump added that Medvedev was walking into “very dangerous territory.”

Medvedev didn’t exactly back down. He reminded everyone that Russia still has its Soviet-era “Dead Hand” system—a nuclear retaliation setup that launches even if the top brass gets wiped out.

The whole thing’s been playing out like a global beef on social media, which is crazy considering they’re both tied to countries with massive nuclear arsenals.

Right now, no one knows if those subs Trump moved are actually loaded with nukes or just running on nuclear power. And there’s been zero info on where exactly they went.

Tory Lanez acted crazy during a court-ordered Zoom deposition from behind bars and now a judge says he owes Megan Thee Stallion money for wasting everyone’s time.

A Florida federal judge smacked Lanez with a bill for Megan’s legal fees after he gave the most outrageous deposition tied to her defamation case against Milagro Gramz.

The court ruled he has to cough up the attorney costs from the first round of questioning, where he reportedly mocked her lawyer and acted like the whole thing was a joke.

The deposition was supposed to go down smoothly on April 9. Instead, Tory Lanez acted like it was open mic night at Tehachapi prison. He interrupted questions, threw insults, and even clowned Megan’s lawyer’s hair by begging her to comb it.

The original deposition barely lasted an hour before it got shut down due to Lanez’s antics.

Megan’s legal team filed a motion back in April asking why Lanez shouldn’t be held in contempt for derailing the deposition. The judge gave him until April 30 to respond. He didn’t. He didn’t even ask for more time.

Now, the court ruled Tory Lanez has to pay up for the legal fees Megan racked up trying to get answers out of him. And next time, his deposition will be supervised by a magistrate judge to make sure he doesn’t treat it like a roast session.

Megan’s team is also pushing for the court to assign a special master, on Tory Lanez’s dime, to oversee future testimony.

All of this drama is part of Megan’s case against YouTuber Milagro Gramz, who she claims spread lies about her mental health, substance use and integrity—allegedly with some help from Lanez and his dad.

Last month, Megan Thee Stallion also scored a victory against Milagro Gramz. The blogger was also ordered to pay the rapper’s legal fees to the tune of $5,000 for stalling on getting Meg’s team access to her social media accounts for a forensic analysis.

Jay-Z tried to get his legal bills covered by the guy claiming to be his long-lost kid, but the judge hit pause on that move… for now.

The rap billionaire’s lawyers asked the court to make Rymir Satterthwaite cough up some cash after he pulled the plug on his paternity lawsuit.

But the judge wasn’t buying it because Team Hov didn’t bother to explain why Rymir should pay. They’ve got 30 days to try again with a real argument. If they don’t, the whole thing gets tossed for good.

This all blew up after Rymir, who’s been saying for years that Jay-Z is his biological father, dropped his attempt to force the rapper to take a DNA test to prove he’s his dad.

A post shared by Official Rymir Satterthwaite (@rymir_is_here)

Rymir said it was a “strategic move” and claimed celebrity power games were blocking his shot at justice.

He also made it clear he’s not chasing money—he just wants the truth out.

The judge had a hearing lined up to go over Jay-Z’s request to get the case dismissed, but since Rymir bailed, that got canceled too.

Still, about 90 minutes after Rymir pulled out, Jay-Z’s lawyers hit back with a legal brief asking the court to shut the case down for good and cover his court costs.

That filing came with a laundry list of reasons why the case should never have been filed in the first place, saying the claims were either vague, legally weak, or already shot down before.

Jay-Z’s team also argued that Rymir’s legal crusade has been dragging on since 2010 and has been repeatedly dismissed by judges.

They say it’s all part of a long-running pattern of harassment by Rymir and his godmother.

Even though this lawsuit’s been dropped, Rymir isn’t done. On Instagram, he made it clear he’s still coming for the truth, saying this isn’t the end of the road.

Remy Ma’s Divorce From Papoose Delay May Derail Claressa Shields’ Wedding Plans

Papoose and Claressa Shields are killing it right now. They are a great team and appear to be knocking out wins in the ring and outside of it. But don’t think you are going to hear wedding bells just yet. Remy Ma does not seem to be budging on the divorce papers!

Word on the curb is that Remy is putting up a “Philly shell” divorce defense. According to behind-the-scenes sources, Remy Ma is now reportedly REFUSING to sign those divorce docs unless every coin connected to Pap’s new “situation” is accounted for. Seems like she is trying to get to the money Pap has recently acquired. That means management, songwriting, production and anything he is doing with Claressa Shields. This is what I am hearing.

For those that did not know: Pap is now allegedly managing his boxing boo. He is also apparently behind her musical dreams too. We’ve seen her rap a bit here and there, but I was not sure she wanted to rap rap. Well, apparently she does. And, Pap is her behind-the-scenes “executive,” basically attached to her whole”bag.” This all sounds a bit weird to me. I am not a divorce expert, but they are done. If he had nothing with you…he got nothing.

Just last year, after the break-up, Remy said Papoose was broke and “living off her” before she went to jail. “this plot twist feels extra spicy. And THEN Remy said, and I quote: “Why are you attaching yourself to this 47-year-old man that doesn’t have anything going, has no career, no job, no income except for the income that he’s claiming off of you?,” he said, talking to Claressa.

Now, it seems like Claressa has adjusted his role, saying he was not her manager. Pap posted, “Glad I’m able to add value from a behind the scenes executive standpoint.” OK. I see what’s happening and that is necessary. By New Jersey divorce law, where they were married, she could be entitled to a piece of whatever he’s earning right now. I am not sure how far this will go, but Pap will need a great lawyer.

This could be drawn way out in a way that could be a nightmare for both Pap and Claressa. Some say Remy’s dragging this out intentionally. Remember, she is/was with Easy the Block Captain, the battle rap king. This could easily last for another 2–3 years. If Claressa’s trying to get hitched or wants a baby, she might have to hold tight

For the record, we love all parties. I hope this works out soon!
