Kim Kardashian revealed that her four children haven’t heard from Kanye West in months. She continues to raise them on her own while navigating a strained co-parenting dynamic.

During her conversation with Call Her Daddy podcast host Alex Cooper, the SKIMS founder opened up about the emotional toll of managing full-time parenting while still trying to maintain a connection between their kids — North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5 — and their father.

“It’s not easy,” Kardashian said. “I mean, I raise the kids full-time. They live with me. I welcome a great, healthy relationship with my kids and their dad. He knows that. I push for it all the time, but I also protect them when it’s time for that and it goes in waves and phases.”

When asked how often West reaches out to the children, Kardashian didn’t sugarcoat it.

“Whenever he’ll call for them and ask. It’s probably been a couple months since we’ve heard from him,” she said.

Kardashian also addressed public speculation that she blocks West from seeing their children, pushing back on that narrative.

“There’s been so many times I just want to show all these texts, like what are you talking about?” she said. “I will always let them see their father… I send them to Saudi Arabia, Italy, Japan and I’ve never once denied it.”

She also reflected on her bond with her late father, Robert Kardashian, and how it shapes her approach to co-parenting.

“I have the best memories and the best relationship with my dad,” she said. “So I just welcome healthy relationships, but it’s not easy.”

The former couple finalized their divorce in 2022, with a custody agreement that includes joint legal and physical custody. West, however, is required to pay $200,000 per month in child support.

Earlier this year, West claimed on social media that he hadn’t seen their son Saint, which added to the ongoing tension between the two. However, Kardashian’s recent comments suggest she’s made repeated efforts to keep the lines of communication open.

A California Walmart customer is outraged after an interaction with a receipt checker she says had a “disgusting” attitude.

TikTok user @krymiariiver posted a video about the encounter on Sep. 30. “I’m walking out of Walmart with a Walmart bag that is bigger than my head, mind you,” she says to start the video. “And I’m listening to a voice note, right. I hear the lady at the door say ‘receipt’ but I’m literally on the phone, so I keep it pushing.”

Most of the time, the interaction would’ve ended right there. But the Walmart employee continued the conversation. “I hear her say, ‘You’re on camera,’” @krymiariiver says. “I take my headphone out and I turn around and I say, ‘Excuse me?’ She said, ‘You heard me.’ I said, ‘Yes, I did hear you, but I’m not obligated to show you my receipt.’”

California Walmart Customer Asks Receipt Checker for Manager

At that point, a woman behind @krymiariiver chimed in to agree that @krymiariiver didn’t have to show her receipt and that the employee was essentially accusing @krymiariiver of theft. “[The woman] asks her what her name is and Barbara takes off her name tag and begins to put it in her pocket,” @krymiariiver recalls.

The fact that the employee would hide her name tag indicated to @krymiariiver that Barbara might’ve violated store policy with her comments. 

“So that’s when I asked, ‘Hey, Barbara, can I speak to your manager, please?’ She told me, ‘Go find her.’ Excuse me?” says @krymiariiver, clearly still outraged. “I said, ‘Oh my god, your attitude is so disgusting.’”

@krymiariiver concludes the video with a question for the corporation. “So my question to Walmart is why do you give the option to your customers to text the receipt or print the receipt?” she asks. “Because I texted it to myself. I didn’t have a printed receipt to even show her. Why is she sitting there pressing me over a receipt?”

Viewers React to the Walmart Receipt Incident

In the comments, viewers expressed disbelief at the situation and outrage on @krymiariiver’s behalf.

“The lady behind you being your hype man,” wrote one person. 

A second person said they also opt out of receipt check. “I stopped showing my receipt when I learned it wasn’t forced,” they wrote.

“Walked out? Girl, you left without complaining to anyone?” said a third person.

Someone else suggested, “Call Walmart and ask for a manager. You have every right to get her in trouble.”

Do You Have to Show Your Receipt At Walmart?

In short, you don’t have to show a receipt when you leave Walmart. However, forgoing the receipt check might give employees like Barbara the impression that you’re stealing. If an employee does have “reasonable” suspicion that a shopper is committing theft, they are able (depending on state law) to stop and ask you for a receipt.

So it might be one of those situations where you don’t have to follow the rule, but it’s easier in the long run if you just do it.

All Hip Hop contacted @krymiariiver via TikTok comment and direct message for comment. We also contacted Walmart to clarify its receipt check policy via online contact form.

Akon’s decades-long marriage has reportedly come to a dramatic end as his wife, Tomeka Thiam, filed for divorce and demanded a staggering 100 million in Euros. 

By the way, that’s like $116,240,000 smackaroos. But what shocked many wasn’t the amount—it was the alleged discovery that the global superstar had only $10,000 sitting in his personal account.

Let me find out Akon is broke? Nah, of course he is not broke. But the court looked further into this.

According to reports, mostly international, the court overseeing the proceedings found that most of Akon’s wealth isn’t in his own name. Instead, Mama Kon is apparently in control of his fortune. The money is allegedly in her name. The streets are talking.

Akon has always been admired for his business acumen. Beyond music, he has a reputation as an entrepreneur and philanthropist. Not everything has worked as planned—like Akon City—but the good outweighs the bad. But apparently the claim of having only $10,000 is not flying with the court. I will tell you, the streets are proud. City Boy are way up. 

Still, in high-profile divorces, where litigation is reality, this will get complicated. Don’t cheer too fast, gents. The court could accuse Akon of intentionally shielding his assets. Remember, from what gather, this is not America we are talking about. The conversation has shifted to whether or not cultural and familial trust practices are common in parts of West Africa.

In many African households, wealth is often intertwined with family members, with mothers or elders managing finances on behalf of the group. Needless to say: neither Akon nor Tomeka Thiam has publicly commented on the proceedings. So we gossip about it. 

We must remember these two have been together since the early stages of Akon’s career and share several children. Akon is the cornerstone of the money. I have so many questions, but I am sure the wife knows a little about how much money they are making. This divorce could become very interesting.

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ conviction on charges related to prostitution has reverberated through the entertainment industry, marking a significant moment in the criminal justice proceedings against the influential music executive.

Combs has been ordered to serve 50 months in federal prison and five years of supervised release after a jury convicted him on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution in his closely watched criminal trial.

Judge Arun Subramanian handed down the sentence earlier this month, imposing a $500,000 fine in addition to the prison term. Combs was acquitted of more severe charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering.

According to court filings obtained by TMZ, the Bad Boy Records mogul must comply with several special conditions following his release. He will be required to submit to random searches, avoid contact with victims in the case and participate in outpatient programs addressing substance abuse, mental health treatment and domestic violence prevention.

Subramanian sentenced Combs to four years and two months behind bars, crediting him with 13 months of time served at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. However, it remains unclear where Combs will complete the remainder of his sentence.

In a recent letter to Subramanian, Combs requested a transfer to the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey, citing its rehabilitative programs and proximity to his family. “In order to address drug abuse issues and to maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts, we request that the Court strongly recommend to the Bureau of Prisons that Mr. Combs be placed at FCI Fort Dix for RDAP purposes and any other available educational and occupational programs,” his attorney, Teny Geragos, wrote.

Subramanian responded that placement ultimately rests with federal authorities. “The Court will recommend a facility in the geographic location of the defense’s choosing,” he ruled. “But not the specific facility, which is determined by the Bureau of Prisons.”

Kim Kardashian described her marriage to Kanye West as “toxic” and revealed that his refusal to change forced her to leave the relationship for the sake of her children and her own mental health.

During a revealing conversation on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Kardashian, 44, opened up about the emotional strain of her eight-year marriage to the Hip-Hop artist and entrepreneur. She said the relationship became unsustainable because West wasn’t “willing to make changes” that she believed would improve their lives.

“It makes it really hard to continue on in a relationship that can be toxic,” Kardashian said. “When you have kids, it’s definitely harder to leave than it is to stay. And it changes everyone’s life forever.”

The former couple, who married in 2014 and finalized their divorce in 2022, share four children: North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6.

Kardashian said she tried to support West through difficult moments, including his public mental health struggles.

“People can say that there was, like, signs and maybe I wasn’t paying attention to them,” she told host Alex Cooper. “And I think when someone has their first, like, mental break, you know, you wanna be super supportive and you wanna, like, help figure that out and you wanna really get into that with them and be there for them.”

But over time, Kardashian said she realized staying in the marriage was taking a toll on her ability to function as a parent.

“Once my mental health starts to get affected and then I can’t parent the way that I need to and I can’t be present and focused, then there’s gotta be one of us that can,” she said. “And I had to save myself in order to be a better mom for everyone. And I think, like, when everyone’s older, they’ll be able to understand it and see that all.”

Since the divorce, Kardashian said she’s approached dating with more intention and clarity. “I do have a problem of only remembering the good,” she said. “I’m a really forgiving person, but I really haven’t dated like that to, like, have those kinds of toxic relationships since I’ve been divorced.”

She added, “I think when you get older, you just don’t tolerate that s**t. You don’t have time.”

Australia’s High Court has upheld the government’s decision to ban right-wing commentator Candace Owens from entering the country.

The ruling comes months after the nation similarly barred rapper Kanye West due to Australia’s strict stance against controversial figures.

Three judges unanimously rejected Owens’ challenge to Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke’s visa denial.

The court cited her past statements about Muslims, Jews, vaccines, and the LGBTQ community as reasons for the ban.

“Inciting discord might be the way some people make money, but it’s not welcome in Australia,” Burke said after the ruling. “Australia’s national interest is best served when Candace Owens is somewhere else.”

The influencer had planned a November 2024 speaking tour but was blocked from entering the country. Owens argued unsuccessfully that her visit was protected by freedom of political communication rights.

Owen’s ban follows a similar decision against Kanye West in July 2025. Australia canceled the rapper’s visa after he released a song titled “Heil Hitler.”

West, who has called himself a Nazi, was deemed to fail the country’s character test.

The connection between Owens and West runs deep. The pair have maintained a close political alliance since 2018. They appeared together wearing “White Lives Matter” shirts at a 2022 fashion show.

West also attempted to purchase Parler, the social media platform where Owens’ husband serves as CEO. Owens has consistently defended West despite his antisemitic statements.

“I will always defend Kanye,” she said in a May 2025 interview, calling him a “friend” and “cultural lightning rod.”

Australia’s Migration Act allows officials to deny entry based on character concerns. The law gives the Home Affairs Minister broad discretion to protect national interests.

New Zealand initially followed Australia’s lead in banning Owens but later overturned its decision. The court ordered Owens to pay legal costs for her unsuccessful challenge.

A spokesman for Owens said she would address the ruling this week. The ban prevents her from entering Australia indefinitely unless the decision is reversed.

Seven people were arrested early Saturday morning after a food order mix-up escalated into a violent brawl at a Whataburger restaurant, according to San Antonio police.

The incident occurred at 3 A.M. on October 5 when two groups of customers began arguing over confused food orders.

What started as a simple misunderstanding quickly spiraled into chaos, with multiple people throwing punches and kicking a man who was knocked to the ground.

Video footage captured by a witness shows a woman punching another woman on the restaurant counter before several men joined the altercation.

The viral video, which has garnered more than 1,000 shares on social media, depicts at least six men attacking one individual who curled into a fetal position on the floor.

The San Antonio Police Department confirmed that officers responded to reports of an assault in progress. All seven suspects were booked for assault causing bodily injury, though no major injuries were reported at the scene.

The conflict began when restaurant staff allegedly told one group of customers that another party “have your food” instead of acknowledging their error with the orders.

“Moments later, those individuals confronted my son and his friends, and within seconds, the situation escalated far beyond a simple misunderstanding — to a violent assault,” said witness Rebecca Noel.

Whataburger, the Texas-based burger chain founded in 1950, issued a statement emphasizing customer and employee safety.

“At Whataburger, the safety of our Guests and employees is our top priority. We are cooperating fully with the authorities,” the company’s media relations team said.

The beloved Texas institution has over 900 locations across the South, with the majority concentrated in Texas. Founded by Harmon Dobson in Corpus Christi, the chain has become synonymous with Texas culture and late-night dining.

Fast-food restaurant altercations have become increasingly common in recent years, with several high-profile incidents captured on social media.

The viral nature of such videos often amplifies local incidents into national news stories.

Blac Chyna reignited speculation about her relationship with Rob Kardashian after tagging him in a romantic Instagram post while posing next to a white Ferrari in Los Angeles.

Wearing a matching all-white ensemble, the reality star—who now goes by her birth name, Angela White—captioned the photo, “This love is forever @robkardashianofficial.”

Kardashian quietly acknowledged the post with a like, fueling online chatter about a possible reconciliation.

The two share an 8-year-old daughter and were previously engaged in 2016 before their highly publicized breakup the following year. Despite their rocky history, White recently described their current dynamic as smooth.

“My co-parenting with Rob is 100 per cent amazing,” she told People in August. “For parents that’s going through it right now, I promise you, things do get better. If you’re going through a custody battle or anything of the sort, I think the main thing for the other parent is to mind their own business.”

White ended her relationship with rapper Derrick Milano in July, just months before their planned wedding, following an October 2022 engagement.

Kardashian, meanwhile, has kept his dating life private and hasn’t been publicly linked to anyone since the breakup with White.

The Instagram post went up earlier this week, prompting renewed interest in the pair’s status.

Her success includes major Grammy wins at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, where she became only the second female rapper to win Best New Artist since Lauryn Hill in 1999. She also won Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for “Savage” featuring Beyoncé.

The Houston native has consistently given back to her community throughout her career.

Time magazine included her on its list of the 100 most influential people in 2020, recognizing both her musical impact and community involvement.

This Halloween concert continues Megan’s tradition of connecting with her Houston fanbase. Her supporters, known as “Hotties,” have eagerly awaited her return to perform in the city where her career began.

Nas shut down any speculation about ever headlining a Super Bowl Halftime Show during a recent interview, saying he’d rather watch from the sidelines than take center stage.

“I can’t say I don’t want to do a Super Bowl, but I don’t,” he told Complex. “Why would I do that? Leave it to the professionals.”

While Nas acknowledged, “I’m a pro at what I do,” the Super Bowl is not for him.

The Queensbridge legend made it clear that the glitz and spectacle of the NFL’s biggest night isn’t his scene. “

I want to watch dope halftime shows,” he added. “And that’s what has been happening lately, so salute to all of them.”

So when is Nas doing the Super Bowl? pic.twitter.com/7qGRtQdGDt

As Bad Bunny gears up to make history as the first solo Spanish-language artist to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2026, Nas is staying focused on his own creative path—one that’s never relied on stadium-sized theatrics.

Nas Joins Forces With DJ Premier

Instead of chasing arena lights, Nas has been immersed in his latest collaboration with DJ Premier.

The two Hip-Hop veterans have joined forces for a highly anticipated joint album, which marks the first full-length project between the longtime collaborators.

The album, still untitled publicly, is set to drop in December as part of the Mass Appeal series Legend Has It…

The still-untitled album is slated for release in December as part of Mass Appeal’s Legend Has It… series — a campaign celebrating seven legendary Hip-Hop acts: Nas & DJ Premier, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Mobb Deep, De La Soul, Big L, and Slick Rick, each dropping brand-new projects throughout 2025.

Though he called the Super Bowl performance “super rockstar s###,” Nas has always leaned into lyrical craftsmanship and cultural impact over flash.

Since his 1994 debut, Illmatic, widely hailed as one of the greatest Hip-Hop albums ever made, Nas has remained committed to storytelling and substance.
