Singer T-Pain recently slammed the streaming industry while revealing why he sold his music catalog for a rumored $100 million back in February 2025. During a Twitch stream, the “I’m Sprung” singer claimed that the music industry has changed so much over the years that he had to take matters into his own hands to take care of himself and his family.

T-Pain, whose real name is Faheem Rashad Najm, opened up about selling his catalog of music, which includes hits like “Buy U a Drank” and “Bartender,” for a reported $100 million, stating that doing so allowed him to live out the rest of his days without having to worry about money.

“Let me tell you something,” he began. “When streaming started, nobody told us, or nobody came to any artist and said, ‘Hey, we’re about to put your sh-t on streaming platforms. How much do you want your music to cost?’ Suddenly, out of nowhere and without anybody’s consent, all of our music went from a dollar a song to 0.003 cents per play. Nobody asked us sh-t.”

T-Pain Said Streaming Made His Music Worth ‘Less And Less,’ Says His Kids Need To Be Left With Something

As he went on, T-Pain said that the cost became lower and lower, making it difficult for him to make the same amount of money from his work as he once had. “My catalog is worth less and less and less and less without any kind of consent from me, without anybody asking me if that’s what I want to charge for my music,” he said.

As he continued, T-Pain said that the more he thought about how streaming had changed things, he realized that making a deal to sell his catalog meant more for him and his kids down the line.

“Out of all this sh-t that I’ve told y’all that’s happened to me in this f—in’ industry, you think I’mma leave my kids’ life and their future in the hands of the music industry? You got me f—ed up. I’ve got to figure something out,” he said.

T-Pain Is Adamant About Taking Care Of His Kids Before The Industry Gets To Them

T-Pain didn’t stop there; the 41-year-old, who’s the father to three kids, said that they were at the forefront of his mind when he reached a deal with HarbourView Equity. “I’m not leaving my kids’ future in the hands of the music industry at f—in’ all. I know exactly what I want,” he said.

He then revealed that the number he reached with the company was enough for him to “live out the rest of my life” and provide for his family for years to come. “I’m satisfied with that and I’m content, I’m not looking for more,” he added.

The ‘I’m N Luv’ Singer Announced His Deal With HarbourView Equity In February 2025

T-Pain announced his deal with HarbourView Equity Partners in February 2025, according to Variety. At the time, he said that the deal would help “preserve the legacy of my music,” further adding that he’s spent years creating music that resonates with people around the world. “I’m grateful to see it continue to reach new heights. I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon,” he said.

T-Pain first arrived on the scene in December 2005 with the release of his debut album, “Rappa Ternt Sanga.” While that project peaked at No. 33 on the Billboard 200 chart, it spawned the top 10 singles “I’m Sprung” and “I’m ‘n Luv.” Two years later, Tallahassee native dropped “Epiphany,” which reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and featured guest vocals from Akon and Yung Joc.

The Rapper/Singer Opened Up About His Friendship Struggles With Other Celebs

This isn’t the first time T-Pain has talked about his issues with the music industry. During a previous interview with Shannon Sharpe on “Club Shay Shay,” the rapper and singer said he’s been hurt by many celebrities, including DJ Khaled, despite them calling him a “brother.”

“When people tell you how much you mean to them, don’t grab onto that,” he said. “When people tell you how much they can mean to you in return, that’s the sh-t you gravitate towards.”

While he didn’t say exactly what happened between him and the “All I Do Is Win” producer, he hinted that they had a nasty falling out at some point in their friendship.

“Anytime you need me, I’m here for you. Anytime you need me. But nah, bro. It’s that brother sh-t, nobody is your brother. I’ve had DJ Khaled and everybody done told me, ‘I’m your brother,’” he said. “Do not believe that sh-t.”

Marvel fans are getting a clearer picture of how Spider-Man: Brand New Day ended up with Destin Daniel Cretton behind the camera.

During a recent interview promoting the film, Cretton revealed that after stepping away from Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, Marvel Studios later approached him about directing what eventually became Avengers: Doomsday. However, the filmmaker ultimately turned it down because he didn’t feel he was the right creative fit for the story.

“When I told Kevin Feige I didn’t think I was the right fit for that,” Cretton explained, “he mentioned ‘Spidey’ in the room, which was a huge relief to me because I thought he’d be like, ‘OK, see you later.’”

Cretton also explained that his decision wasn’t about walking away from Marvel. Instead, it came down to finding a personal connection with the material.

“I don’t do any movie just to do the movie. Until I find an intimate, personal connection to the material, I don’t feel like I could do a good job,” he said, adding that simply directing a major franchise film wasn’t enough reason to commit.

Doom and Kang [marvel comics]

Originally, Cretton had been announced as the director of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty in 2022 following the success of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. After he exited the project in late 2023, Marvel eventually reworked its Multiverse Saga plans, replacing Kang with Doctor Doom and transforming the film into Avengers: Doomsday under directors Anthony and Joe Russo.

Rather than returning for another Avengers ensemble, Cretton found a project that resonated with him creatively in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The film has already become a massive success, earning record-breaking box office numbers and setting the stage for Spider-Man’s future in the MCU.

Looking back, the decision appears to have worked out well for both Marvel and Cretton. The Russo brothers are steering the next Avengers event, while Cretton has delivered one of the biggest Spider-Man films in the franchise, proving that sometimes the right project is simply a better fit than the biggest one.

Tim McGraw‘s daughter, Gracie, recently made a candid confession about Ozempic. Online, Gracie called the drug “one of the worst things” she’d ever done after revealing how it brought her back to a dark place in her life.

Gracie’s confession comes days after singer Ariana Grande revealed that she was planning to take a step away from the public eye at the end of her concert after comments about her body.

In her Instagram Stories, according to Page Six, Gracie detailed the challenges she faced while taking Ozempic, an injectable medication used to help manage blood sugar that also affects satiety, per the Cleveland Clinic. Elsewhere in her stories, the 29-year-old said one of the reasons she began using the drug in the first place was because of “skinny culture” being back at the forefront of celebrity culture.

“At that time I thought it was the best decision I ever made because I finally lost weight and got skinny,” she said. “As soon as I started shedding a few pounds, I noticed how people looked at me differently on the streets, in my friend groups and family, and in my own job. I got more opportunities when I lost weight than I ever have had in my life.”

Grace McGraw Recalls Being Called ‘The Fat One’ Of Her Famous Family

Gracie went even further and revealed that while growing up, she was on the receiving end of very harsh comments. Not only did she have to deal with comments from people she knew, but Gracie also had to learn to deal with magazines and people on the internet commenting about her body. She said that one of the worst messages was when people told her she didn’t get as much attention because she “was the fat one” of her famous family.

Gracie said that she understands now that she was “too skinny” while using Ozempic. And to make matters worse, using the drug only drove her to create unhealthy habits. “All of a sudden skinny culture is back and I realized holy crap I have been feeding into my eating disorder this whole time under the guise of this miracle shot. I think it was probably one of the worst things I’ve ever done for myself, looking back,” she said.

Gracie Speaks About The Difference Between Having Concern And Body Shaming

As she finished, Gracie pointed to the growing conversation about celebrities and their bodies, saying that people having concern isn’t the same as body shaming. “Having concern for someone doesn’t also mean you can’t have empathy for their situation,” she said.

“But telling people to not speak on this is incredibly wrong and damaging. It’s promoting created thinness as [a] goal, not as danger. We are at a time when we need to be taking care of ourselves and our people,” she finished.

Grande Is Taking A Step Back From The Spotlight

According to a previous report from The Blast, “Wicked” star Grande is taking a step away from the spotlight come September 2, 2026.

A representative for the singer came forward just last week to make the announcement, revealing that Grande has earned a much-needed break after the “endless, ongoing public scrutiny.”

“This tour has been a beautiful experience for her. She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much,” the rep added.

The statement came days after Grande released the music video for her newest song, “Petal,” and garnered more concern than praise.

Grande spoke to her fans about the decision during the Chicago show of her “Eternal Sunshine Tour,” and said that her choice to retreat is more intentional than reactive.

“It is something that I had decided to plan,” she said before saying that public opinion isn’t a concern of hers.

“No matter what noises exist out there, nothing will be able to distort my reality or be more real to me or not as real to me as this love that we share,” she said.

Roommates, new details have emerged following Sidney Starr’s arrest in connection with the sexual assault of a minor. Starr currently faces charges including sexual battery against a child under 16, aggravated child molestation, and sodomy.

Sidney Starr’s Arrest Leads To New Updates

According to TMZ, an Embassy Suites employee in Georgia contacted police to report an alleged assault involving a juvenile. Officers responded to the hotel, where they spoke with the minor and the minor’s parents. The male later told police that something had happened involving Sidney Starr.

TMZ also reported that Starr told officers that a tall Black male approached them in the hotel lobby and called them “cute” before allegedly striking up a conversation. Starr then reportedly told investigators that the male claimed he was an adult before going to the hotel room with them. Police later arrested Starr in connection with the incident. During a pat-down, officers reportedly found one opened condom and another condom inside Sidney’s pocket.

More Details About Sidney’s Arrest

As TSR previously reported, police arrested Sidney Starr in connection with allegations involving a minor on Sunday, August 2. Officers responded to a call at the Embassy Suites on 3450 International Boulevard before taking Starr into custody after investigating the incident. Following the arrest, Starr’s mugshot surfaced online after authorities booked them into the Fulton County Jail under the name Sidney Favors. Prosecutors have charged Starr with battery against a child, aggravated molestation, and sodomy. The Hapeville Police Department has also referred the case to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution. At this time, authorities have not said whether Starr could face additional charges.

Starr Releases Statement Amid Charges

After the arrest, Sidney Starr spoke exclusively with TMZ and denied the allegations. The ‘Baddies’ star said they intend to fight the charges and defend themselves through legal process. Allegations should not be mistaken for fact, and public opinion should never replace due process,” Starr said. Starr also urged people to not use the allegations against them to stigmatize the transgender community, saying one person’s alleged actions should not define an entire group. Before ending the statement, Starr thanked supporters for their patience and asked for privacy as the legal case moves forward.

Martha Stewart has a few beauty tricks up her sleeve, but none of them have ever involved plastic surgery.

“I have good genes. My mom looked great at 95,” Stewart, 85, told People in her Wednesday, August 5, cover story, which recreated her 1995 photoshoot with the magazine in which she posed with one of her chickens.

“We eat well. We don’t drink very much. We don’t smoke. We eat healthy food. We exercise daily. I horseback-ride,” the home and hospitality icon continued.

When asked if she’s had any cosmetic procedures, Stewart noted, “I go to Dr. Dan Belkin in New York City. He is a very superb dermatologist. And I use a little bit of fillers. I go maybe once every four months for touch-ups.”

Martha Stewart is ready to share her memories of being struck by lightning not once but three times in her life. “The first time I was standing at my sink in a fabulous cottage in Massachusetts. I was washing dishes, and there was a pretty little garden that I had built out front, and there […]

The TV personality insisted, despite online speculation to the contrary, that she has “not had any plastic surgery at all.”

“I don’t think I need it,” she continued. “I do facial exercises and have the best facials from Mario Badescu and Georgia Louise. Peptides are very good. I take a few peptides. So that’s what I do. I’m more a maintenance kind of person. I’m not getting boobs done and hips and butts and stuff like that.”

Stewart’s comments came one day after she shared a steamy photo of herself spending time in a hot tub. The Martha Manual author wore a black swimsuit as she pursed her lips at the camera.

“I am going to use this amazing hot tub every single day I am in Maine,” she captioned the post, calling it “invigorating, restorative [and] therapeutic.”

Stewart has been adamant about her stance on plastic surgery for years. Back in 2023, she denied speculation about her cosmetic work after she posed on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

“I’ve had absolutely no plastic surgery whatsoever,” she told Variety at the time. “I have very healthy, good hair. I drink green juice every day. I take my vitamins. I eat very healthfully. I have very good skin doctors. I’m very careful in the sun. I wear hats and I wear sunblock every single day.”

In February 2024, Stewart said she uses Botox and facial fillers “very conservatively.”

Stewart addressed the claims again back in January.

“Everybody insists that I’ve had plastic surgery and I have not ever had plastic surgery,” she told People. “I’m the most honest person on earth — but if they won’t take my word for it, I don’t know. How can they not take my word for it? That’s the truth!”

During the livestream, YoungBoy and Jada appeared to be in good spirits as they vibed together.

A “Grim Reaper” prank outside a hospital ended with handcuffs instead of laughs.

Leon Gillespie triggered an alarm by dressing as the popular Halloween costume and silently staring at patients outside a medical center, leaving visitors unsettled and prompting authorities to step in.

Leon Gillespie, who previously gained viral attention for similar “Grim Reaper” appearances, now faces legal consequences after the latest incident reignited debate over whether some pranks go too far, especially when carried out near vulnerable people seeking medical care.

3

Patients and staff at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd Hospital in Rhyl, UK, were left alarmed after Leon Gillespie climbed onto the roof dressed as the “Grim Reaper” while carrying what appeared to be a large scythe. The 26-year-old reportedly stood silently overlooking the hospital, unsettling those below before the bizarre incident eventually landed him in court.

According to a post shared by Fact Philes on Instagram, Gillespie later claimed he had not been dressed as the “Grim Reaper” at all, insisting he was portraying a crow. The court nevertheless fined him over the incident and also penalized him for separate theft offenses involving cat food and kitty litter.

The unusual case quickly sparked a flood of reactions online. One user joked, “I’d like to know under which law he was arrested because this is freaking hilarious,” while another wrote, “QUESTION: What did they charge him with??” Others reflected on the absurdity of the story, with one commenter adding, “I can’t believe we are the new adults .”

Court Rejects Unusual Defense

After spending nearly an hour on the hospital roof, Gillespie was eventually brought down and later appeared before a Welsh court to answer for the incident. Prosecutors charged the 26-year-old with causing a nuisance or disturbance on National Health Service property without a reasonable excuse after he allegedly refused to leave when directed by police.

During the hearing, Gillespie insisted his costume was never meant to resemble the “Grim Reaper.” Instead, he claimed he had dressed as a crow, despite wearing a black hooded outfit and carrying what appeared to be a long blade while overlooking the hospital grounds.

The unusual explanation failed to change the outcome. Gillespie admitted to the nuisance charge and was fined over the incident, with it being reported that the court ultimately held him responsible for the disruption caused by the rooftop stunt.

Leon Gillespie’s Court Appearance Also Exposed Earlier Theft Offenses

The hospital incident was not the only matter addressed during Gillespie’s court appearance. Proceedings also revealed that he had committed two separate shoplifting offenses before climbing onto the hospital roof, adding another layer to the case.

Gillespie admitted to stealing cat food and kitty litter from a pet shop in Llandudno in March, and taking more items from a nearby supermarket in May. The offenses were taken into consideration at the hearing in conjunction with the hospital disturbance.

The North Wales Pioneer reported that Gillespie was ordered to pay separate financial penalties for the theft offenses in addition to the fine imposed for causing a nuisance at the hospital, bringing multiple legal issues to a close in the same court appearance.

A Different ‘Grim Reaper’ Encounter Left A Lasting Impression Online

Before Leon Gillespie’s hospital stunt went viral, another “Grim Reaper” encounter became one of the internet’s most memorable events years ago. The earlier video was made for a harmless social experiment to record the reactions of strangers, not like the incident in Wales.

A man, referred to online as Albert Scotsen, was among those who were featured, with his response being different from the others. He didn’t jump in fear or surprise, but took the masked face as though he recognized it, a moment many viewers viewed as a statement of acceptance, aging, and death.

The video, later shared widely on Facebook, continued to resonate long after its initial release because of that unexpected exchange. Online accounts have since claimed the man died from cancer later that year, a detail that prompted many viewers to revisit the clip as a reminder of how even a lighthearted prank can take on a much deeper meaning over time.

Another Prank Gone Wrong Ends With Consequences

While many elaborate pranks are designed to entertain, some have crossed the line into legal trouble, public outrage, or even courtroom battles. Gillespie’s hospital rooftop stunt has now joined a growing list of incidents where attempts at shock value resulted in consequences far beyond what may have been intended.

The entertainment industry has seen similar disputes over prank-related stunts. The Blast previously reported that “Jackass” star Johnny Knoxville faced legal action after one of the franchise’s hidden-camera pranks allegedly left a participant claiming he suffered emotional distress and lasting psychological harm, underscoring how even seemingly humorous stunts can carry significant repercussions.

As Leon Gillespie’s case continues to spark debate online over where the line between a prank and public nuisance should be drawn, will the bizarre hospital rooftop stunt be remembered as a harmless joke or a lesson in how quickly viral moments can spiral into legal trouble?

Kyle Richards has one thing on her mind for next season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: making up with Dorit Kemsley.

“If I’m coming back, let’s just say that part first. You know that I would repair things with Dorit,” Kyle, 57, told Us exclusively at the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th launch event on Tuesday, August 4, at the Lobster Club in New York City. “I would like to be able to put that behind us and start over and maybe get some things off my mind, some things that people had done and said this last season.”

Kyle added that she has not heard from Dorit, 50, but she did reach out to “congratulate her” for the release of her memoir, Unburdened, which dropped in June.

“Other than that, no, I haven’t heard from her or anything,” Kyle told Us.

According to Kyle, Dorit is still an important person in her life, and she wants to be there for her one-time BFF amid her divorce from PK Kemsley.

“It’s sad to me because, you know, I did care about her, and I do care about her and her family,” she told Us. “I just feel like we’re both going through so much and that we would have been much better off leaning on each other.”

Dorit and Kyle have had a lot of ups and downs in their friendship over the years. The pair experienced their first crack during RHOBH season 13 when Dorit expressed concerns that Kyle was prioritizing other friends over her. Dorit also showed a message from Kyle on camera, where Kyle wrote that it “bothers” her to be in a “weird place” with Dorit.

“They don’t even know we are going through a hard time so I don’t see the need to bring it up there,” the message continued. “I should have said something sooner but I honestly haven’t been strong enough. But relationships and YOU are more important to me than RHOBH.”

The tension between Kyle and Dorit carried over to season 14, as Kyle expressed that she was unhappy with Dorit for sharing their private messages.

“I didn’t have it in me to deal with it because I had so many things on my plate,” Kyle said during the premiere episode in 2025, noting that she was “shocked” when Dorit read their text message during the season 13 reunion. “She tried to publicly embarrass me.”

Kyle also shared that she was still in touch with PK, which upset Dorit. Kyle broke down in tears over the situation after being confronted by Dorit.

“I’m f***ing leaving,” an emotional Kyle told Dorit. “Please, OK. I love you and PK and your kids and you know that. I know that you know that. I’ve been made to feel like I did something wrong — sending a text to PK. So, I said I’m gonna read this once and that is it.”

When RHOBH returned for season 15 — which included a blowout fight during a cast trip to Italy — Kyle and Dorit found themselves not on speaking terms.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley and costar Kyle Richards have not mended their friendship despite their respective splits. “I did feel very abandoned by Kyle,” Dorit, 48, exclusively told Us Weekly. “There were a lot of things that were left unsaid from the reunion, and I was struggling with that because […]
