    "title": "John S. Rock Made History With The Supreme Court",
    "text": "It’s time for another installment ofBOSSIP’s Black History Hidden Gems,our weekly Black History Month series dedicated to uncovering overlooked Black figures, moments, and milestones. This series spotlights stories that history nearly erased, but legacy refused to forget.\n\nThis site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the GooglePrivacy PolicyandTerms of Serviceapply.\n\nWe care about your data. See ourprivacy policy.\n\nRecognizing Black achievement during Black History Month is not only about honoring triumph, but about reclaiming narratives of resilience, intellect, and humanity that were, in some cases, deliberately buried—and when it comes to pioneering attorneyJohn S. Rock, it means honoring a 19th-century trailblazer who broke barriers at the United States Supreme Court and used his voice to fight for abolition and equal rights.\n\nJohn S. Rock lived from October 13, 1825, until December 3, 1866. He was a pioneering abolitionist, physician, dentist, lawyer, and civil rights advocate who made history in 1865 as the first Black man admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States. His life, though tragically short, embodied the intellectual brilliance, resilience, and political courage that defined Black activism during the Civil War era. Rock’s achievements were extraordinary not only because of the barriers he broke, but also because of the breadth of his professional accomplishments in a society structured to deny Black Americans education, citizenship, and legal standing.\n\nBorn free in Salem, N.J., to formerly enslaved parents, Rock grew up in a period when free Black Americans in the North still faced severe discrimination. He was largely self-educated in his early years and began working as a teacher at a young age. His intellectual gifts were evident early on; he pursued further education despite limited opportunities for Black students. Rock eventually studied medicine and dentistry, fields in which very few African Americans were allowed to practice. He earned a medical degree in the early 1850s and established himself as both a physician and a dentist in Philadelphia and later Boston.\n\nRock’s move to Boston proved transformative. The city was a hub of abolitionist activism, and Rock became deeply involved in the movement to end slavery and secure equal rights for Black Americans. Though already trained as a physician, chronic health problems—especially tuberculosis—made it difficult for him to continue practicing medicine. He turned his focus toward law, studying privately and gaining admission to the Massachusetts bar in 1861. At a time when Black lawyers were almost nonexistent, Rock’s admission to the bar was itself a significant milestone.\n\nIn Boston, Rock became known as a powerful and eloquent orator. His speeches combined legal reasoning, moral conviction, and sharp wit. He advocated not only for the abolition of slavery but also for full citizenship rights for Black Americans, including suffrage. Unlike some white abolitionists who focused narrowly on ending slavery, Rock insisted that emancipation without political rights would leave Black Americans vulnerable and subordinated. He argued forcefully that Black men deserved the right to vote and to serve in the military, linking citizenship to participation in the nation’s defense and political life.\n\nHere is an example of a powerful speech he delivered to the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society in Boston on Jan. 23, 1862 viaBlackPast.org:\n\n“I am here not so much to make a speech as to add a little more color to this occasion. [Laughter.] I do not know that it is right that I should speak, at this time, for it is said that we have talked too much already; and it is being continually thundered in our ears that the time for speech-making has ended, and the time for action has arrived.”\n\n“Perhaps this is so. This may be the theory of the people, but we all know that the active idea has found but little sympathy with either of our great military commanders, or the national Executive; for they have told us, again and again, that “patience is a cure for all sores,” and that we must wait for the “good time,” which, to us, has been long a-coming.”\n\nDuring the Civil War, Rock actively supported the enlistment of Black soldiers in the Union Army. He believed military service would demonstrate Black Americans’ loyalty and strengthen their claim to equal rights. His speeches encouraged recruitment and emphasized that African Americans were fighting not only for the Union but for their own freedom and dignity. Rock also criticized discriminatory policies within the Union Army, including unequal pay for Black soldiers.\n\nOne of the defining achievements of Rock’s life came in 1865. After the Civil War ended and the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery was ratified, Rock sought admission to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court. With the support of influential allies, including Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts, Rock was admitted on February 1, 1865. Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase reportedly greeted him warmly. Rock’s admission was more than a personal triumph; it was a symbolic moment during Reconstruction, representing the possibility of a transformed nation in which Black Americans could claim professional and civic authority at the highest levels of government.\n\nRock’s legal philosophy was rooted in a deep belief in natural rights and constitutional equality. He argued that the Constitution, properly interpreted, guaranteed equal protection and citizenship to all Americans, regardless of race. In this way, he anticipated arguments that would later underpin the 14th Amendment. Rock saw the law as a powerful instrument for social change, but he also understood that legal equality required sustained political activism.\n\nDespite his groundbreaking achievements, Rock’s health continued to deteriorate. Tuberculosis plagued him for much of his adult life, limiting his ability to practice law extensively after his Supreme Court admission. He died later in 1866 at the age of just 41. His early death cut short what might have been an even more influential career during the Reconstruction era.\n\nJohn S. Rock’s legacy endures as a testament to perseverance and multidimensional excellence. He was not only the first Black attorney admitted to practice before the Supreme Court but also one of the first Black physicians and dentists in the United States. His life illustrates the interconnected nature of Black professional achievement and political activism in the 19th century. Rock believed deeply in the power of education, law, and civic participation to transform American democracy.\n\nThough often overshadowed by more widely known abolitionists, Rock occupies a critical place in American history. His Supreme Court admission symbolized a crack in the legal color line at a moment when the nation was redefining freedom and citizenship. In the broader arc of civil rights history, Rock stands as an early architect of the argument that Black Americans were not merely seeking inclusion but asserting rights already promised under the Constitution. His courage and intellect helped lay the groundwork for generations of Black lawyers and activists who would continue the struggle for equality in the courts and beyond.",

    "title": "Jill Scott Returns With New Album For The Grown & Glowing",
    "text": "Black History Month already comes with its own rhythm, soul, and ancestral bassline but this year,Jill Scottdecided to slide us a gift that sparked “conversation, verbal elation and stimulation”  After more than a decade away from the album game, Ms. Jilly from Philly is back withTo Whom This May Concern,a 19-track body of work that dropped Friday, February 13, and yes, it was worth the wait.\n\nThe album is a rich blend of soul, R&B, hip hop, and spoken word, basically a sonic gumbo that only Jill Scott could stir without spilling a drop. She also tapped a lineup that bridges generations and vibes, includingTierra Whack, Too $hort, andJID. This album ain’t boxed in. It’s grown, playful, reflective, and knows exactly who it’s talking to.\n\nAS for her fans? Oh, they showed up immediately. Over on Threads, the praise poured in heavy. Journalist @thedanielleyoungwrote,“I love that you can tell when Jill Scott is smiling when she is singing.”\n\nThis site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the GooglePrivacy PolicyandTerms of Serviceapply.\n\nWe care about your data. See ourprivacy policy.\n\nAnd that’s straight facts. If you’ve been rocking with Jill since Who Is Jill Scott?, you know exactly when she’s smiling mid-lyric. Her expressions don’t just stay on her face; they live in the music. Another listener, @kristen.gray, summed it up perfectly: “Being in your 30s experiencing a Jill Scott album rollout is a gift. It’s sexy, spiritual, so beautiful to witness.” No lies detected.\n\nScott explained that even the title, To Whom This May Concern came to her like a sigh of relief — a quiet exhale that signaled the album would land exactly where it needed to. It’s for who it’s for. And she hopes listeners walk away fed, sustained, and maybe even healed.\n\nIn a sit-down withBillboard, Scott opened up about why it took her more than ten years to release a new project. She made it clear: “it wasn’t a creative block, it was a creative break.” Life had to be lived. From navigating premenopause to raising a teenager, she chose to prioritize being human before being an artist. As she put it, Jill Scott doesn’t live in her house. Nobody calls her that at home. That separation is what allows her to refill herself so she can pour back into the music when the time is right.\n\n“It’s the energy that follows me around the house: in the shower, when I’m cleaning, making a bed. But I needed to take a break from that so that I could live life. I am, you know, a human being. So of course, there’s all kinds of stuff like perimenopause. That’s interesting. I have a teenager now; that’s different than ever before.”\n\nAnd for the fans who’ve been begging the universe (and NPR) for years? Your prayers have been answered. Jill Scott is officially pulling up toTiny Desk Concerts, premiering Monday, January 16th. Black History Month blessings, indeed.\n\nTo Whom This May Concern is now streaming on all platforms. Press play, light a candle or anything else of your choice, pour some wine, and let Jill do what Jill does best: remind us who we are.",

    "title": "Chris Paul Announces His Retirement From The NBA",
    "text": "The NBA is saying goodbye to another legend.\n\nAfter more than two decades of brilliance, leadership, and an impressive basketball IQ,Chris Paulhas officially announced his retirement from the NBA.\n\nThis marks the end of one of the most respected and influential careers in league history. Widely known as the “Point God,” CP3 confirmed his decision on Thursday, reflecting on a journey that reshaped the modern point guard position and left an indelible mark on every franchise he touched.\n\n“Basketball gave me everything,” Paul shared in a statement on Instagram. “From the people I’ve met to the lessons I’ve learned, this game has been my life. I’m grateful for every moment.”\n\nHe continued: “I am so excited to take with me to the next chapter all the incredible things basketball has taught me. And more importantly that the people I have been blessed to meet through basketball have taught me.”\n\nChris Paul’s abrupt announcement comes after he was waived by the Toronto Raptors on Friday, having previously been traded from the LA Clippers earlier this month. The Raptors did not require Paul to report to the team and had looked to move him before the trade deadline.\n\nPaul and the Clippers–the team he’s most often associated with–abruptly agreed to part ways in early December after he was reportedly not on speaking terms with Clippers coach Ty Lue for several weeks. The 12-time All Star later toldPeoplehe was “at peace” with the separation and looking forward to what was next.\n\nCP3 burst onto the scene with the New Orleans Hornets after being selected fourth overall in the 2005 NBA Draft. He won Rookie of the Year honors and never looked back, becoming synonymous with precision, leadership, and clutch play. His move to the Los Angeles Clippers ushered in the “Lob City” era, where he elevated the franchise to national prominence alongside Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.\n\nBecause of his association with the Clippers’ most successful era, the team’s decision to part with him earlier this year was an even bigger blow to both CP3 and fans. While it was widely known that this would be his last season, his decision to cut his retirement tour short is devastating to fans of the game.\n\nIt’s the end of an era! Peep some reactions to Chris Paul’s retirement after the flip:",

    "title": "John S. Rock Made History With The Supreme Court",
    "text": "It’s time for another installment ofBOSSIP’s Black History Hidden Gems,our weekly Black History Month series dedicated to uncovering overlooked Black figures, moments, and milestones. This series spotlights stories that history nearly erased, but legacy refused to forget.\n\nThis site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the GooglePrivacy PolicyandTerms of Serviceapply.\n\nWe care about your data. See ourprivacy policy.\n\nRecognizing Black achievement during Black History Month is not only about honoring triumph, but about reclaiming narratives of resilience, intellect, and humanity that were, in some cases, deliberately buried—and when it comes to pioneering attorneyJohn S. Rock, it means honoring a 19th-century trailblazer who broke barriers at the United States Supreme Court and used his voice to fight for abolition and equal rights.\n\nJohn S. Rock lived from October 13, 1825, until December 3, 1866. He was a pioneering abolitionist, physician, dentist, lawyer, and civil rights advocate who made history in 1865 as the first Black man admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States. His life, though tragically short, embodied the intellectual brilliance, resilience, and political courage that defined Black activism during the Civil War era. Rock’s achievements were extraordinary not only because of the barriers he broke, but also because of the breadth of his professional accomplishments in a society structured to deny Black Americans education, citizenship, and legal standing.\n\nBorn free in Salem, N.J., to formerly enslaved parents, Rock grew up in a period when free Black Americans in the North still faced severe discrimination. He was largely self-educated in his early years and began working as a teacher at a young age. His intellectual gifts were evident early on; he pursued further education despite limited opportunities for Black students. Rock eventually studied medicine and dentistry, fields in which very few African Americans were allowed to practice. He earned a medical degree in the early 1850s and established himself as both a physician and a dentist in Philadelphia and later Boston.\n\nRock’s move to Boston proved transformative. The city was a hub of abolitionist activism, and Rock became deeply involved in the movement to end slavery and secure equal rights for Black Americans. Though already trained as a physician, chronic health problems—especially tuberculosis—made it difficult for him to continue practicing medicine. He turned his focus toward law, studying privately and gaining admission to the Massachusetts bar in 1861. At a time when Black lawyers were almost nonexistent, Rock’s admission to the bar was itself a significant milestone.\n\nIn Boston, Rock became known as a powerful and eloquent orator. His speeches combined legal reasoning, moral conviction, and sharp wit. He advocated not only for the abolition of slavery but also for full citizenship rights for Black Americans, including suffrage. Unlike some white abolitionists who focused narrowly on ending slavery, Rock insisted that emancipation without political rights would leave Black Americans vulnerable and subordinated. He argued forcefully that Black men deserved the right to vote and to serve in the military, linking citizenship to participation in the nation’s defense and political life.\n\nHere is an example of a powerful speech he delivered to the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society in Boston on Jan. 23, 1862 viaBlackPast.org:\n\n“I am here not so much to make a speech as to add a little more color to this occasion. [Laughter.] I do not know that it is right that I should speak, at this time, for it is said that we have talked too much already; and it is being continually thundered in our ears that the time for speech-making has ended, and the time for action has arrived.”\n\n“Perhaps this is so. This may be the theory of the people, but we all know that the active idea has found but little sympathy with either of our great military commanders, or the national Executive; for they have told us, again and again, that “patience is a cure for all sores,” and that we must wait for the “good time,” which, to us, has been long a-coming.”\n\nDuring the Civil War, Rock actively supported the enlistment of Black soldiers in the Union Army. He believed military service would demonstrate Black Americans’ loyalty and strengthen their claim to equal rights. His speeches encouraged recruitment and emphasized that African Americans were fighting not only for the Union but for their own freedom and dignity. Rock also criticized discriminatory policies within the Union Army, including unequal pay for Black soldiers.\n\nOne of the defining achievements of Rock’s life came in 1865. After the Civil War ended and the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery was ratified, Rock sought admission to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court. With the support of influential allies, including Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts, Rock was admitted on February 1, 1865. Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase reportedly greeted him warmly. Rock’s admission was more than a personal triumph; it was a symbolic moment during Reconstruction, representing the possibility of a transformed nation in which Black Americans could claim professional and civic authority at the highest levels of government.\n\nRock’s legal philosophy was rooted in a deep belief in natural rights and constitutional equality. He argued that the Constitution, properly interpreted, guaranteed equal protection and citizenship to all Americans, regardless of race. In this way, he anticipated arguments that would later underpin the 14th Amendment. Rock saw the law as a powerful instrument for social change, but he also understood that legal equality required sustained political activism.\n\nDespite his groundbreaking achievements, Rock’s health continued to deteriorate. Tuberculosis plagued him for much of his adult life, limiting his ability to practice law extensively after his Supreme Court admission. He died later in 1866 at the age of just 41. His early death cut short what might have been an even more influential career during the Reconstruction era.\n\nJohn S. Rock’s legacy endures as a testament to perseverance and multidimensional excellence. He was not only the first Black attorney admitted to practice before the Supreme Court but also one of the first Black physicians and dentists in the United States. His life illustrates the interconnected nature of Black professional achievement and political activism in the 19th century. Rock believed deeply in the power of education, law, and civic participation to transform American democracy.\n\nThough often overshadowed by more widely known abolitionists, Rock occupies a critical place in American history. His Supreme Court admission symbolized a crack in the legal color line at a moment when the nation was redefining freedom and citizenship. In the broader arc of civil rights history, Rock stands as an early architect of the argument that Black Americans were not merely seeking inclusion but asserting rights already promised under the Constitution. His courage and intellect helped lay the groundwork for generations of Black lawyers and activists who would continue the struggle for equality in the courts and beyond.",

    "title": "Abby De La Rosa Says Nick Cannon's Baby Mamas Don't Talk",
    "text": "Abby De La Rosahas revealed some behind-the-scenes information about the dynamic between her and Nick Cannon’s other baby mothers.\n\nDuring a recent interview, Abby De La Rosa, who shares three children–twins Zion and Zillion, 4, and daughter Beautiful, 3–with Cannon, opened up about how the father of 11 organizes his time between families.\n\nDe La Rosa revealed on theLovers By Shanpodcast that even though their children have spent time with one another, the six mothers do not communicate. Cannon also shares twins Moroccan and Monroe, 14, with ex-wife Mariah Carey; sons Golden, 8, and Rise, 3, and daughter Powerful, 5, with Brittany Bell; son Legendary, 4, with Bre Tiesi; daughter Onyx, 3, with LaNisha Cole; and daughter Halo, 3, with Alyssa Scott.\n\n“As for the mothers…We don’t have any communication with each other,” De La Rosa confessed. “We all live very separate lives. We’re all very individualized.”\n\nAbby went on to explain that Cannon is the one who “calls the shots” when it comes to coordinating playdates among his children, which makes their relationship feel more “monogamous.”\n\n“We agree or we’ll send the nannies to do it,” De La Rosa said. “That’s really it. We all live very individual lives. So, in a sense, it feels monogamous.”\n\nAs for how theMasked Singerhost views his unconventional relationships, De La Rosa confirmed he isn’t a fan of labels.\n\n“He also lives in this constant phrase: ‘If you label me, you disable me,’ so you cannot label him in any way, which is, I’m for it. The label thing, I get it. I understand,” she said. “But it’s also some truth to it so we’ve had many a conversations where it’s like, ‘No, I think you’re polyamorous.’ ‘I’m not polyamorous! I’m not! I just love, I love.'”\n\nDe La Rosa also said that the actor’s approach to his love life has helped shape how she explains their family structure to her children.\n\n“What I have chosen to teach my kids is, ‘Daddy loves many people. Daddy has a lot of love to give. That’s just who Daddy is,’” Abby explained. “And they know their brothers and sisters’ parents and Miss so-and-so and Miss That, Miss That.”",

    "text": "Heartbreak, reflection, or justpost-SuperBowlblues? Stefon Diggs sparked speculation this week after posting a cryptic Instagram carousel days after the Patriots’ loss to the Seahawks and amid rumors that his relationship with Cardi B has ended. Not only that, but the NFL wide receiver also made his first court appearance in connection with felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault charges.\n\nWhile Cardi B tours across the country virtually unfazed, Diggs is making cryptic posts online. According toPeople,the wide receiver dropped a 20-slide post filled with motivational quotes, game-day flicks, and subtle messages that fans believe hint at more than just football frustrations.\n\n“Gratitude and Fear cannot coexist in the same space… a reminder to control what you can control, remain thankful and stay motivated,” he captioned the post, complete with crown and eight ball emojis. One slide read, “Luck didn’t bring me this far… God did.” Another stated, “The best way to appreciate something is to be without it for a while.”\n\nDiggs also turned off comments on Instagram, which only fueled speculation.\n\nThis site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the GooglePrivacy PolicyandTerms of Serviceapply.\n\nWe care about your data. See ourprivacy policy.\n\nThe timing raised eyebrows becausebreakup rumors with girlfriend Cardi Bbegan swirling just one day after the big game. Fans noticed the two appeared to unfollow each other shortly after the loss.\n\nCardi was in attendance at the Super Bowl, but not necessarily for Diggs. The rapper showed up to support Bad Bunny during his halftime performance. She was seen dancing alongside other celebrities inside the La Casita set piece. She later posted herself singing along from a car.\n\nWhen asked at a Super Bowl party if she had an inspiring message for Diggs ahead of the game, Cardi simply said, “Good luck,” before walking away.\n\nThe couple first sparked dating rumors in October 2024 and confirmed their relationship in June 2025. They welcomed their first child together in November 2025, making the alleged social media unfollow even more noticeable.\n\nMeanwhile, Diggs is also facing serious legal issues. As reported byUSA Today, the wide receiver pleaded not guilty on Feb. 13 to felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault charges stemming from a December 2025 incident involving his former personal chef.\n\nHis attorney called the allegations false and said Diggs expects to be exonerated. The New England Patriots released a statement saying Diggs “categorically denies the allegations” and that the organization will cooperate with authorities.\n\nRELATED:Professional Dog Walker: Cardi B Quickly Clocks The Trump Administration After DHS Comes At Her For Saying She’d ‘Jump’ ICE Agents",

And yes, the eye candy was a major bonus.”\n\nKnown for her humorous social commentary, Kiwi leaned into the weekend’s aesthetic, spotlighting sharply dressed men whose tailored looks lit up TikTok and drew even more attention to the event.\n\n“There’s something about a man in seersucker, it activates a different kind of energy,” she joked. “It’s like old-school courting meets new-school outside.”\n\nShe added that the atmosphere felt grown, flirtatious and respectful.\n\n“These weren’t guys yelling at you from across the street,” she said. “This was, ‘Excuse me, miss—may I have a moment of your time?’ energy. The suits were activating the gentleman.”\n\n“It felt like a grown and sexy HBCU homecoming,” she added. “But without the college, just the fun, the vibes, and the people. This isn’t just an event. It’s a movement. It’sSinnersin the summertime, without the vampires.”\n\nMaui Bigelow might agree with that notion as she sank her teeth into her third Sundresses & Seersuckersexperience and declared it one of the most memorable yet, severe storms and all.\n\n“The highlight of the weekend for me was the title event,” Bigelow toldBOSSIP. “I love the fact that the rain did not stop us from having a good time.”\n\nA style expert in her own right, Bigelow was particularly impressed by the men’s fashion.\n\n“Me, being a fashion girly, I was really proud of the guys—I feel like the guys really brought their A-game. I’m gonna say the guys were dressed better than the girls this year!”\n\nShe also praised the event’s warm, welcoming vibe, especially for solo attendees.\n\n“It’s a vibe. It’s nothing to be nervous about,” she said. “Even if you come alone, you’ll have a blast. The energy is so high, you’re going to meet somebody.”\n\nEven Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens gave the event his seal of approval. During a special sponsor reception, the 61st steward of the city saluted the Delta Mu Mu chapter for their enduring contribution to Atlanta’s civic fabric, calling Sundresses & Seersuckers “the official summer kickoff.”\n\nA proud member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Dickens also underscored the importance of the event’s mission.\n\n“Sundresses & Seersuckers is the heart of wisdom and purpose, supporting mentorship and scholarships for ATL’s young people,” he said. “Atlanta is a group project, and it takes all of us working together to build the best city in America to raise a child.”\n\nWith the backing of city leadership and the unwavering commitment of its organizers, Sundresses & Seersuckers stands as more than an event; it’s a movement, a cultural institution, and a shining example of celebration with a cause.",

    "title": "Jake Paul Backpedals Bad Bunny 'Fake American' Comment",
    "text": "Usually, Jake Paul doesn’t mind backlash as long as he’s still getting paid, but his own family had to check his shameful comments. Logan Paul quoted his brother and lovingly reminded him that Puerto Ricans have U.S. citizenship and deserve representation on the Super Bowl stage as much as anyone else.\n\n“I love my brother but I don’t agree with this. Puerto Ricans are Americans & I’m happy they were given the opportunity to showcase the talent that comes from the island,” the much wiser Paul brother wrote.\n\nLogan also lives in Puerto Rico and seems to want to keep it that way in peace.\n\nShortly after the internet dragged Jake from the windows to the wall, he had a change of heart. He conveniently changed his bio on X, formerly Twitter, to “Benito’s #1 fan” and issued follow-up statements that he was “misinterpreted.”\n\n“The problem with my tweet is the word fake being misinterpreted he’s not a fake citizen obviously bc hes Puerto Rican and I love Puerto Rico and all Americans who support the country Moreso Bunny is fake bc of his values and criticism of our great country,” he wrote.\n\nThatwas the only problem?! Jake claims he didn’t mean to say Bad Bunny isn’t American enough; he just isn’t “pro-America” enough. Well, the Benito Bowl already proved that’s false as well. During the performance, Bad Bunny proudly said, “God bless America” as he named all the islands and countries that make up the Americas while surrounded by their flags.\n\nJake returned to his go-to of praising ICE while claiming its agents are innocently just “doing their job.”\n\n“To clarify: I wasn’t calling anyone a ‘fake citizen’ because they’re from Puerto Rico. I live in Puerto Rico, and I love Puerto Rico. I have used my platform to support Puerto Rico time and time again and will always do so. But if you’re publicly criticizing ICE who are doing their job and openly hating on America, I’m going to speak on it. Period. That’s the same reason I called out Hunter Hess. If you benefit from a country and the platform it gives you, but publicly disrespect it at the same time, that’s what I mean by being a fake citizen. And I agree love is more powerful than hate. Love America,” he continued.\n\nCritical comments asked Jake to explain how he supports “love” and ICE agents gunning down U.S. citizens in their own communities.\n\nIf anything, the clapbacks claimed Bad Bunny is one of the biggest patriots, showing love to all people who aren’t too busy hating to receive it.\n\nA few hours later, Jake was still fighting for his life online and swearing his devotion to Bad Bunny: “Guys i love bad bunny idk what happened on my twitter last night ?? wtf.”\n\nSome supporters applauded Jake and agreed with his choice to boycott, but the furious flurry of thousands of comments had that boy in a blender like Anthony Joshua did! It looks like he FAFO that the people don’t play about Benito!\n\nThrow in the towel on this one, Jake!",

Lawd.\n\nThough Desmond has beenkeeping *ahem* busy since his public splitfrom his wife, the “Out The Mud” rapper took to his social media to send the influencer some support.\n\n“Desmond Scott, I just want to say that I salute you, brotha, and I’m praying for you” Gates said in a video. “You nice looking, you fly, you intelligent and you know how to cook. It’s no woman on God’s earth that wouldn’t want you. So, just ignore the hate because right now you bout to go way up in the air now. Use the hate that you receiving right now for your motivation to propel you forward. F*** what the internet talkin’ bout. Them just miserable people.”\n\n“Hey, you wasn’t happy. You did something to make you happy. The only thing I wouldn’t have did was apologize. They ask me, ‘Kevin, what you would have did?’ I would have swung that d*** out and not looked back. That’s what I would have did. I’m doing all the cooking and all the cleaning. No Black man should leave the home without his d*** sucked, straight like that.”\n\nChile. It may just be us, but if Kevin Gates is on your side, it may be time to reassess your decisions in life.\n\nKristy, on the other hand, is letting it be known that though the marriage is over, she’s still holding down the fort and the master key of the home they built together. She popped out with a new bob in a form-fitting, red wine number to let the gworls know that she is keeping the house in the split saying, “same address” in her caption. IKDR!\n\nThe Scotts aren’t the only messy marriage on Kevin Gates’ mind because he’s also airing out his own with Dreka Gates.\n\nCheck out Kevin Gates putting his divorce drama on blast after the jump!",

    "title": "Abby De La Rosa Says Nick Cannon's Baby Mamas Don't Talk",
    "text": "Abby De La Rosahas revealed some behind-the-scenes information about the dynamic between her and Nick Cannon’s other baby mothers.\n\nDuring a recent interview, Abby De La Rosa, who shares three children–twins Zion and Zillion, 4, and daughter Beautiful, 3–with Cannon, opened up about how the father of 11 organizes his time between families.\n\nDe La Rosa revealed on theLovers By Shanpodcast that even though their children have spent time with one another, the six mothers do not communicate. Cannon also shares twins Moroccan and Monroe, 14, with ex-wife Mariah Carey; sons Golden, 8, and Rise, 3, and daughter Powerful, 5, with Brittany Bell; son Legendary, 4, with Bre Tiesi; daughter Onyx, 3, with LaNisha Cole; and daughter Halo, 3, with Alyssa Scott.\n\n“As for the mothers…We don’t have any communication with each other,” De La Rosa confessed. “We all live very separate lives. We’re all very individualized.”\n\nAbby went on to explain that Cannon is the one who “calls the shots” when it comes to coordinating playdates among his children, which makes their relationship feel more “monogamous.”\n\n“We agree or we’ll send the nannies to do it,” De La Rosa said. “That’s really it. We all live very individual lives. So, in a sense, it feels monogamous.”\n\nAs for how theMasked Singerhost views his unconventional relationships, De La Rosa confirmed he isn’t a fan of labels.\n\n“He also lives in this constant phrase: ‘If you label me, you disable me,’ so you cannot label him in any way, which is, I’m for it. The label thing, I get it. I understand,” she said. “But it’s also some truth to it so we’ve had many a conversations where it’s like, ‘No, I think you’re polyamorous.’ ‘I’m not polyamorous! I’m not! I just love, I love.'”\n\nDe La Rosa also said that the actor’s approach to his love life has helped shape how she explains their family structure to her children.\n\n“What I have chosen to teach my kids is, ‘Daddy loves many people. Daddy has a lot of love to give. That’s just who Daddy is,’” Abby explained. “And they know their brothers and sisters’ parents and Miss so-and-so and Miss That, Miss That.”",

    "title": "#RHOM's Guerdy Dishes On Cancer Recovery & Larsa Pippen",
    "text": "WhenThe Real Housewives of Miamireturns for its much-anticipated seventh season tonight, the drama, designer gowns and social media jabs are all intact, and so isGuerdy Abraira,who’s not only cancer-free but free from the weight of anything that no longer serves her.\n\nThe real housewife toldBOSSIPthat she’s stepping back into the spotlight with a new outlook, a new lease on life, and, most importantly, a clean bill of health.\n\nDiagnosed with breast cancer in 2023 and publicly sharing her health journey throughout season 6, Abraira’s bringing what she calls “Phoenix rising” energy to the Miami franchise.\n\n“I am thriving,” she told Managing EditorDani Canada.“So many amazing things are happening, and everything is being reset into its place when it was supposed to happen, how it was supposed to happen. So all I say is thank God, I don’t ask why, I just say thank you for the lesson and keep it moving.”\n\nSpeaking of moving, there are always shifts when it comes to the Miami housewives, and Guerdy said she’s establishing boundaries in season 7 after pouring into “a lot of cups where there was a hole at the bottom.” She adds: “These type of behaviors I’m not gonna allow anymore, I’m not.”\n\nAfter undergoing reconstructive surgeries from her breast cancer battle, theReal Housewives of Miamistar has re-entered the group dynamic with a refreshed mindset and a firm grip on her peace.\n\n“I’m literally coming into this season trying to find my groove. Guerdy’s got her groove back,” she toldBOSSIP.I’m like, okay, my girls are gonna come hype me up!”\n\nBut instead of open arms, Guerdy said she was met with a reception that was “quite interesting” and baffling.\n\n“You just got to take things as they go,” said Guerdy. “And one thing that, you know, you need to allow yourself to do is set boundaries and limits on how people think they can treat you. So this season, you see me, coming with my intentions, and I get welcomed with something that I didn’t expect, and how it unfolds in the most unhinged way, which is the most cringeworthy experience that I’ve ever dealt with.”\n\n“But there’s a turnaround point where it was a lesson to be learned from that. Everything’s got a lesson to be learned. And as dark as that moment and experience was for me, It’s brought me full circle now to the point where I’m able to dissect it and accept it and realize how to move forward and how to let people move forward with me because now there are big boundaries they will not cross, and boundaries I will not be crossing any longer.”\n\nStill, despite the chaos, or maybe even because of it, Guerdy remains emotionally grounded and credits her husband, Russell, for being her rock.\n\n“We’re not about the hype at all,” she said of their enduring marriage. “I may look different now, but it’s always the high school sweetheart bond. When that man walks across that room—that’s my man, that’s my man. That’s my family. That’s my blood. He’s my heart.”\n\nElsewhere in the conversation, Guerdy discussed another highly-discussed relationship on the show, the one between Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan. As previously reported, the two had a (messy) March 2024 breakup where Marcus sassily said he “sent her back to the streets.”\n\nWhile much has been made of their relationship’s demise, Abraira offered a surprisingly tender take on their time together—even after Marcus, who’s of course the son of Michael Jordan, took a jab at her and the rest of the #RHOMcast by claiming they wouldn’t even be allowed to do the dishes in the Jordan household.\n\n“I liked who she was with him, actually,” she said. “It was her soft girl era, and it was sad that he likes to play in the snow. I pray for him, even though he was not nice to me at all and said some not nice things about me. I hope that he learns from his past and moves on to a brighter future.”\n\nPippen, according to Guerdy, appears “definitely a different Larsa in a good way” this season, a change that may surprise fans used to her icy, tit-for-tat antics.\n\n“It’s a big evolution. I think Larsa comes in with a good time vibe, and that’s sure. So I think that this season, Larsa is definitely a different Larsa in a good way.”\n\nYet even as old friendships evolve, tensions flare, and new faces (like newcomer Stephanie) shake up the cast with what she calls “I got all my sh*t together” energy, Guerdy remains focused on authenticity and accountability, so you can expect her to bring receipts.\n\n“I have been a wedding planner, [a] professional global planner named best planner in the world byBrides,VogueandHarper’s Bazaar,” she said. “So when you come with me with some BS, please know that the receipts will not lie and the truth will not either.”\n\nWatch our exclusive with Guerdy Abraira!",

    "text": "“We built Sundresses & Seersuckers to be unlike any traditional fundraiser,” S&S co-chair Larry Rasberry toldBOSSIP. “Think Kentucky Derby vibes but with a deeper purpose. Our trademarked event brings people together for an elegant experience while directly supporting scholarship and health programs.”\n\nFor first-time attendee and lifestyle influencer Kiwi The Beauty, the Derby aesthetic—and the vibes—exceeded expectations. Though initially assuming the event catered exclusively to BGLO members, Kiwi found herself fully immersed as a 2025 event ambassador.\n\n“You don’t really get it until you’re there,” she toldBOSSIP. “But once you step on that lawn and see the sundresses flowing and the seersuckers poppin’? You become a believer.”\n\n“I was blown away. The music, the food, the dancing, it was just so full of joy. And yes, the eye candy was a major bonus.”\n\nKnown for her humorous social commentary, Kiwi leaned into the weekend’s aesthetic, spotlighting sharply dressed men whose tailored looks lit up TikTok and drew even more attention to the event.\n\n“There’s something about a man in seersucker, it activates a different kind of energy,” she joked. “It’s like old-school courting meets new-school outside.”\n\nShe added that the atmosphere felt grown, flirtatious and respectful.\n\n“These weren’t guys yelling at you from across the street,” she said. “This was, ‘Excuse me, miss—may I have a moment of your time?’ energy. The suits were activating the gentleman.”\n\n“It felt like a grown and sexy HBCU homecoming,” she added. “But without the college, just the fun, the vibes, and the people. This isn’t just an event. It’s a movement. It’sSinnersin the summertime, without the vampires.”\n\nMaui Bigelow might agree with that notion as she sank her teeth into her third Sundresses & Seersuckersexperience and declared it one of the most memorable yet, severe storms and all.\n\n“The highlight of the weekend for me was the title event,” Bigelow toldBOSSIP. “I love the fact that the rain did not stop us from having a good time.”\n\nA style expert in her own right, Bigelow was particularly impressed by the men’s fashion.\n\n“Me, being a fashion girly, I was really proud of the guys—I feel like the guys really brought their A-game. I’m gonna say the guys were dressed better than the girls this year!”\n\nShe also praised the event’s warm, welcoming vibe, especially for solo attendees.\n\n“It’s a vibe. It’s nothing to be nervous about,” she said. “Even if you come alone, you’ll have a blast. The energy is so high, you’re going to meet somebody.”\n\nEven Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens gave the event his seal of approval. During a special sponsor reception, the 61st steward of the city saluted the Delta Mu Mu chapter for their enduring contribution to Atlanta’s civic fabric, calling Sundresses & Seersuckers “the official summer kickoff.”\n\nA proud member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Dickens also underscored the importance of the event’s mission.\n\n“Sundresses & Seersuckers is the heart of wisdom and purpose, supporting mentorship and scholarships for ATL’s young people,” he said. “Atlanta is a group project, and it takes all of us working together to build the best city in America to raise a child.”\n\nWith the backing of city leadership and the unwavering commitment of its organizers, Sundresses & Seersuckers stands as more than an event; it’s a movement, a cultural institution, and a shining example of celebration with a cause.",

    "text": "Love is in the air! With Valentine’s Day just days away, several celebrity couples are preparing to celebrate the romantic holiday togetherfor the very first time.FromKim Kardashian and British racing champion Lewis Hamiltonto the certified “Hot Girl” herself, Megan Thee Stallion, and NBA star Klay Thompson, these duos are stepping into their first Valentine’s Day as official couples, and no doubt planning a few sweet surprises for each other along the way.\n\nFrom longtime friendships turned romance to flirty first meetings, here’s a look at how these duos fell for each other and what they’ve shared about one another.\n\nFor Kim Kardashian and Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton, this Valentine’s Day carries a little extra sparkle. The pair are enjoying their first romantic season together since taking their relationship public, a natural evolution of a connection that’s been years in the making.\n\nThis site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the GooglePrivacy PolicyandTerms of Serviceapply.\n\nWe care about your data. See ourprivacy policy.\n\nKim and Lewis have known each other for over a decade, first moving in similar circles at major events and award shows as far back as 2014. According toPEOPLE, theyinitially met in September of that yearat the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London.\n\nAt the time, Kim was married to Kanye West, while Lewis was in a long-term relationship with Nicole Scherzinger. The SKIMS founder was photographed greeting the British racing star with a friendly kiss on the cheek. They were later seen together at the Magazine Innovator Awards in 2021 and again at Pharrell Williams’ debut show as Louis Vuitton’s menswear creative director in 2023.\n\nA source toldPEOPLEthat “there’s a comfort level” between the reality star and the British racer given they’ve “known each other for years.”\n\nEarlier this month,TMZobtained video of the pairarriving at a Paris hotelafter stepping out of the same SUV. According to the outlet, they had reportedly flown in together from the United Kingdom on a private jet. A source later confirmed toPEOPLEthat the mogul and the F1 driver shared a “romantic meetup” in the French capital.\n\nTheir longtime friendship appears to have paved the way for something deeper, as they’ve recently been spending more intentional time together, recently attending Super Bowl LX side by side on Feb. 8. Following the big game, an insider toldPEOPLEthat Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton “ended up spending time together in the same suite as a big group of friends.”\n\n“It wasn’t a formal date, more like a relaxed friends-focused setting,” they continued. “Kim liked having a little one-on-one time with him too. They have plans to see each other again soon.”\n\nThe source also explained that Kardashian’s world remains firmly rooted in Los Angeles and that she’s taking things slow.\n\n“She’s not thinking about the future right now, or putting any pressure on it,” they continued. “She’s just taking things moment by moment and seeing where it goes.”\n\nAnother insider noted that while Kim Kardashian — who finalized her divorce from Kanye West in 2022 — has “gone on dates and met people over the years,” Lewis Hamilton is the “first guy she’s really into in a long time.”\n\n“She always liked him,” the insider added. “She’s excited about their romantic connection. […] He makes her feel safe and she genuinely enjoys spending time with him.”\n\nKim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton make a cute couple.",

The Hotties knew she had some heat coming after the“Bigger In Texas”rapper gave a glimpse of herboo’d up Valentine’s Day, which she reclaimed for a “happy pre MEGAN DAY!”\n\nMeg complemented her beachy flowing curls with a natural makeup beat and a strapless white Diesel bikini. She’s also holding a beautiful bouquet from her man, her man, her manKlay Thompson, who makes a quick cameo showing off his NBA pro player physique on the beach.\n\nThis site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the GooglePrivacy PolicyandTerms of Serviceapply.\n\nWe care about your data. See ourprivacy policy.\n\nWhen Megan Day finally arrived on Sunday morning, she did not hesitate to turn up the beat and the heat with a futuristic music-themed series of photos. Instead of the flowing long locks or a blunt bob, Megan went bold and blue with a shocking short haircut and strappy black outfit that hugged every curve to perfection and showed off her super snatched waist.\n\nShe towers over a giant album in matching strappy stiletto heels, turning the oversized vinyl into her stage. Between the brightly colored hair, dynamic poses, and unreal angles, it’s giving anime meets Aaliyah’s “We Need A Resolution” video, plus a heaping helping of the Houston star’s signature style. And we love to see it!\n\nWhen it comes to the fans, Klay can’t keep all that to himself!\n\nThe gorgeous and generous Grammy winner let the fans know that she plans to bless us with even more than this b-day slay and inspiration for summer body goals:\n\n“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME 💙 Drop some blue hearts if you ready for ACTIII hotties,” she wrote.\n\nSo if your feed is flooded with blue hearts on Sunday, you can thank the highly anticipated teaser forAct IIIalbum to close outMegan’s self-titled trilogy. Gisele taught our girl well!\n\nFor everyone who speculated that being in herWAG bagand“Lover Girl” erameant Meg was out of the rap game, think again! It looks like she’s just warming up for the best Hot Girl Summer yet. Do you think the new look and color are here to stay for the new album? Will fans get their wish of a Juvenile collab after overwhelming demand for Meg to hop on a remix ofhis new banger “B.B.B.”with some “big booty b***h*” bars?\n\nWhatever Megan Thee Stallion has planned, our ears and eyes can’t get enough! Happy Birthday, Meg!",

    "text": "Thebreakup between Desmond and Kristy Scotthas had the internet in a chokehold since the new year, and nowKevin Gateshas chimed in. Lawd.\n\nThough Desmond has beenkeeping *ahem* busy since his public splitfrom his wife, the “Out The Mud” rapper took to his social media to send the influencer some support.\n\n“Desmond Scott, I just want to say that I salute you, brotha, and I’m praying for you” Gates said in a video. “You nice looking, you fly, you intelligent and you know how to cook. It’s no woman on God’s earth that wouldn’t want you. So, just ignore the hate because right now you bout to go way up in the air now. Use the hate that you receiving right now for your motivation to propel you forward. F*** what the internet talkin’ bout. Them just miserable people.”\n\n“Hey, you wasn’t happy. You did something to make you happy. The only thing I wouldn’t have did was apologize. They ask me, ‘Kevin, what you would have did?’ I would have swung that d*** out and not looked back. That’s what I would have did. I’m doing all the cooking and all the cleaning. No Black man should leave the home without his d*** sucked, straight like that.”\n\nChile. It may just be us, but if Kevin Gates is on your side, it may be time to reassess your decisions in life.\n\nKristy, on the other hand, is letting it be known that though the marriage is over, she’s still holding down the fort and the master key of the home they built together. She popped out with a new bob in a form-fitting, red wine number to let the gworls know that she is keeping the house in the split saying, “same address” in her caption. IKDR!\n\nThe Scotts aren’t the only messy marriage on Kevin Gates’ mind because he’s also airing out his own with Dreka Gates.\n\nCheck out Kevin Gates putting his divorce drama on blast after the jump!",
