What started as an innocent pregnancy update from NBA YoungBoy’s wife, Jazlyn Mychelle, quickly spiraled into unexpected online drama as fans focused on her huge upgraded rock. Things escalated when Yaya Mayweather, the mother of one of his sons, and Mellow Rackz, an artist he has collaborated with, entered the chat and began throwing shade.

Jazlyn Mychelle Shares A Baby Bump Update

Jazlyn recently took to her YouTube channel with a new vlog titled “Prepare For Labor & Delivery With Me.” In the video, she brought supporters along as she headed to her maintenance appointments and packed her hospital bag.

While sharing a baby bump update, many viewers couldn’t help but notice just how big her wedding ring looked. Some commented that NBA YoungBoy must’ve upgraded it, saying they’re loving the new ice. 

As the net continued to talk about her ring, Pristine Jewelers gave folks a closer look at the rock. As the diamonds glistened, they wrote, “BIGGEST RING POP EVER CREATED COMMISSIONED FOR THE BIGGEST MADE BY THE BIGGEST.” 

Mellow Rackz Checks Yaya Mayweather Following Her Recent Tweets

While the net was busy talking about Jazlyn’s ring, it looked like Yaya was having her own ring conversation over on X. She tweeted, “this is the ring i want when i get engaged again.” Furthermore, in a follow-up post, she wrote, “LAAAAAAABBBBBB,” and many online quickly took it as shade.

Commenters flooded the timeline with reactions like, “Ring on Jaz finger, no ring on yours,” and “You had a ‘lab’ on your finger first and still didn’t get chose. He’s married and not to you. It’s 2026.”

The tweet also appeared to catch Mellow Rackz’s attention. Under a post about Yaya, she tagged the jeweler and wrote, “GIA CERTIFIED now cry about it 1 of none,

Yaya quickly hopped back on X, tweeting, “industry pass around now you know i don’t like you but since you want to insert yourself let’s talk about how you be ‘holding’ aka borrowing jewelry from jewelers.” She later added, “want to act fake friendly to a b*** who’s husband you f******* girl bye.”

Mellow didn’t stay quiet. She clapped back, writing, “bye I been outside Yellow Richie I was wearing I didn’t like it anymore because the band got VERY DIRTY FAST DONT SPEAK ON ME GOODNIGHT GOD BE WITH U GET WELL SOON.”

From there, the two continued going back and forth in a series of posts, throwing shots about jewelry, money, men, and even dropping what they claimed were receipts. Both appeared to be standing firmly on everything they said as the timeline watched them go at it. 

To add, Yaya didn’t hesitate to pile on Mellow even further as a woman jumped into their beef, claiming that Mellow staged a photoshoot in her closet.

Social Media Reacts

Folks gathered under The Shade Room Teens to watch Yaya Mayweather and Mellow Rackz throw shade back and forth. Commenters quickly chose sides. Some praised Yaya’s comebacks, while others felt Mellow ate with facts.  Others said the whole situation was unnecessary, pointing out it’s crazy to argue over a married man and another woman’s ring. Many also mentioned that Jazlyn Mychelle has remained unbothered through it all. 

Instagram user @haitiankay_  wrote, “Ya ya why you beefing with ppl bout your bd that don’t even f with you”

Instagram user @liyahbrionne_ added, “Nah yaya ate her up. Rather it’s her dad money or not.. she a nepo baby and got it lol. Idk why the girls choose to argue with her about money ! That’s inane.”

While Instagram user @x.carmala wrote, “All this ova jaz ring is diabolical Imaooo”

Instagram user @nene.dollas wrote, “Not gone lie mellow ate with the facts”

Instagram user @georgianoginny added, “Mellow you not winnin this boo 😂 let it go”

While Instagram user @naima lee wrote, “TAKE ME OUT THE GROUP CHAT PLEASE DAWGGGGG”

Instagram user @longliveisadior added, “Arguing over a nigga that’s don’t won’t either one of y’all”

Instagram user @realprettyviaa wrote, “At the end of the day it’s Jazlyn husband. Lol I will not be arguing about a nigga that ain’t mine. Whether he my bo or not.”

While Instagram user @jadaxberry wrote, “I just know she be chilling and unbothered by the comments.. I love that though.. enjoy your pregnancy… you only live that experience with that child once”

Meanwhile, NBA YoungBoy Comes Through With A Message

Before Yaya Mayweather initially got into it with Mellow Rackz, NBA YoungBoy was on the other side of X with a message of his own.

The rapper tweeted, “let irrelevant talk to themselves.” He followed up by writing, “And I never said names you wouldn’t even hear about specific people if you ain’t bring them up they nobody’s non factors. Don’t create my narrative, b***h let me pop it.”

Although he didn’t mention anyone directly, many of his fans were quick to draw their own conclusions. One person commented, “Somebody tag Yaya so she knows he talkin about her.”

Editor’s note: The below interview contains spoilers up to The Pitt Season 2 Episode 7.

With HBO’s The Pitt now returned for Season 2, the latest shift for the doctors and nurses working in the emergency department of the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center just got even more complicated. This week’s episode, “1:00 P.M.,” reveals the real reason behind Westbridge Hospital’s “Code Black,” which has resulted in all of their patients being diverted to PTMC: hospitals are being hit with a cyberattack, and to avoid the same fate, The Pitt has to go offline.

Before that happens, however, the seventh hour of R. Scott Gemmill, John Wells, and Noah Wyle‘s medical drama finally welcomes in a familiar face in the form of Shawn Hatosy‘s Dr. Jack Abbot, who rolls in with a SWAT team seemingly just in time to help the ER buckle down for the worst. With the hospital’s CEO going above Dr. Robby (Wyle) to fill in Dr. Al-Hashimi (Sepideh Moafi) on what’s going on, will that only add to the tension that’s been brewing between them since the beginning of the shift? Ahead of The Pitt‘s return, Collider had the opportunity to speak with the show’s creators and cast alike about some of Season 2’s most pivotal moments over the first six episodes, including Hatosy and Moafi. Below, the co-stars discuss Abbot’s unexpected entrance in Season 2, why Robby and Al-Hashimi’s conflict is a joy to play, which Season 1 moment Hatosy still feels did Abbot dirty, and more.

COLLIDER: Shawn, what can you tee up for us about Abbot and what we can look forward to when he finally rolls in this season?

SHAWN HATOSY: Well, when we last left Abbot, he was up on the roof with Robby, talking him off the ledge. He says at the end of that season, “My therapist says I find comfort in the darkness.” He tries to tell Robby that maybe he should talk to a therapist, so I think as we come into Season 2, we’re definitely going to be checking in on that to make sure that the toll that this job is taking on Robby isn’t going to be too much.

That’s one of Abbot’s focuses. The other thing is he comes in in a very unexpected way. He actually moonlights on a SWAT team. They often use a doctor on SWAT teams in case something goes wrong, who is qualified to carry a gun. So something wild happens, and he has to come in, and that’s how he shows up in fatigues. That’s where he meets the great new attending physician, Dr. Al-Hashimi.

To tie this all into Robby, we know at the beginning of Season 2 that he is set to be taking a sabbatical. It sounds like a much-needed one. Dr. Al-Hashimi is intended to be his replacement, stepping in, but there’s been a bit of overlap. She’s there, he’s there, and we immediately see that these two have very different leadership styles. There is that initial rockiness of who should take the lead and with which med students, and who should be stepping back. Sepideh, I wanted to ask you about what you enjoyed about getting to go through those bumpy moments with Noah [Wyle] at the beginning of the season.

SEPIDEH MOAFI: Oh my gosh, those moments are so delicious where we’re talking over each other or finishing each other’s sentences, not on purpose. It’s so fun as the actor to play, and as the character, it’s a bit jarring, because you’re used to having the leadership role. You’re used to calling the shots, both of us, with our respective backgrounds. Now it’s two people in leadership positions, and one, as I think you mentioned, has a very different approach to medicine.

Dr. Al-Hashimi represents the more modern approach, the modernization of medicine, and Dr. Robby is the more traditional, sort of old-school approach. So sometimes, they clash, these two different approaches and personalities. He’s not used to having somebody else there who calls the shots and who’s in charge. She’s, as a woman in any profession, used to male counterparts being a bit cutting or condescending at times, but she takes it in stride and knows that they are both really good at their jobs. They just have different ins into medicine.

Ultimately, there is some harmony. They do harmonize together — though there is a lot of dissonance, too, throughout the season. But just for us as actors, Noah [Wyle] and I playing these scenes, it’s so much fun because it requires such radical presence and aliveness and really listening to each other and trying to hold back in certain moments and then other moments just letting loose. So, it’s been quite a journey, and I’m excited for people to experience that journey.

One quote that Dr. Al-Hashimi has in this season that really stuck out to me and felt like almost an unofficial mantra for this character and who she is is when you have the line of “Just because you know it’s broken doesn’t mean you stop trying.” [She’s] talking about a lot of the failures of the modern healthcare system and the places where maybe the hospital isn’t as well-equipped to handle certain issues. Do you feel like that is what sums her up in her approach to medicine? “I understand that the system I’m working in isn’t perfect, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop looking for ways to try and fix it, even if they’re small fixes here and there”?

MOAFI: Absolutely. I think if there were a few lines that were at her core, her foundation, that would be one of them. I would take it a step further and say it’s not that she thinks the system is not perfect. She knows it’s a broken system, which is why she’s finding alternative ways, different modalities of reorganizing, reshaping, and advancing medicine. At the beginning, as you saw, there was an introduction where she’s talking about using AI or using technology in order to implement some of these changes. Not for novelty’s sake, but in order to improve patient-centered care and medicine, in order to relieve some of the burden that these physicians carry every day, the emotional weight, the bandwidth. There’s always too much need in the hospitals and not enough time, and we are all human.

The whole idea with her approach to AI is that you are able to delegate some of this responsibility, able to offload some of this admin charting. I think it’s something like 28% of a physician’s time is spent at the patient’s bedside. The other 72% is spent charting or doing admin work. So, if we’re able to relieve some of that pressure, some of that workload, with the strict supervision of the physicians, of the nurses, then this could be beneficial for everyone. The idea is not to have technology take over, but to relieve some of the burden. You have to fixate on the light. You have to hold this myopic approach to healing, and where can we find little glimmers of hope that’ll keep us going? So, like you said, this is a constitutional part of who she is, this idea that just because something isn’t working or it’s broken, it doesn’t mean that you stop the fight.

For the Record, Shawn Hatosy Has Great Hand-Eye Coordination (Even if ‘The Pitt’ Season 1 Did Him Dirty)

“I just want to state for the record that I am an amazing athlete.”

Shawn, one of my favorite moments from last season is the moment where everybody circles up outside the hospital, has some beers in the park, and it’s nice to see the doctors and the nurses getting a chance to take a break from the craziness of the shift. Is there anything along those lines that we can look forward to in Season 2, potentially a little bit of downtime?

HATOSY: I think so. And I just want to say that when they throw Abbot the beer, and he doesn’t catch it, that was scripted. I’m a stellar athlete, and I just want everybody to know that there was a line when he drops it that said, “Now you know why I didn’t become a surgeon,” and they cut that line. So it just makes Abbot look clumsy and not athletic, and I just want to state for the record that I am an amazing athlete. I just want you to know that.

MOAFI: Shawn has trauma from that moment. It’s still affecting him.

HATOSY: I do think there is a moment of everybody coming together.

But just so that we have it on the record: great hand-eye coordination from Shawn Hatosy.

HATOSY: Can you please just let this be the headline of the article?

We’re going to clear some things up.

HATOSY: How are they going to leave an actor hanging like that? Cut out the line, and then just make him look clumsy. Who does that?

The mid-aughts were a treasure trove of heightened teen dramas, and in its day, Veronica Mars was the crème of the crop. The series was a perfect combination of film noir tropes within the heightened world of teen drama. Starring Kristen Bell as the titular teen detective, Veronica Mars was full of wit while also delving into mature topics set in a high school setting. The daughter of a former sheriff turned private investigator, Keith Mars (Enrico Colantoni), Veronica is devastated when her best friend Lilly Kane (Amanda Seyfried) is murdered. In typical film noir fashion, Keith turns into a hard-boiled detective after he ruins his career by accusing the Kane family of foul play.

Veronica’s social cachet is destroyed when she sides with her father, even though this weaponizes her friends against her. She loses her boyfriend, Duncan (Teddy Dunn), and becomes a social pariah. The worst treatment comes from Lilly’s boyfriend, Logan (Jason Dohring), who makes it his purpose in life to ruin hers after what Keith did. Veronica Mars cleverly takes the genre of film noir and adapts it for a high school setting as Veronica becomes just as clever as her father in solving crimes. As she continues to look into Lilly’s case, refusing to believe the killer has been caught, her romantic life develops as well. Bell’s chemistry with Dohring was unavoidable, and their respective characters grow closer because of it. This setup leads to an epic romance between Veronica and Logan, which spans the life of the series. This fact is ultimately what put the nail in the coffin for the series, despite all its potential.

‘Veronica Mars’ Season 4 Shocker Ruined What Was So Good About the Series

Veronica Mars’ cult status was secured long before the last season of the series premiered. After the UPN merger with The WB, the series tragically only lasted one more season. Season 3 ends in the college setting, leaving Veronica and Logan’s relationship up in the air. Much like Veronica herself, fans demanded justice and eventually got it with the 2014 fan-funded film. The Veronica Mars movie gave Veronica and Logan the ending they deserved without the characters skipping a beat.

The film gave the series the momentum it needed to return in the streaming age with another season on Hulu. This result regrettably had a less than favorable response. Because Veronica returns to Neptune, California, as an adult, the series effectively became more mature. Veronica’s relationship with Logan becomes more complex, which was not necessarily a direction that fans were interested in. The couple’s engagement and subsequent marriage end in tragedy after Logan is killed by a car bomb meant for Veronica. This tragedy turns her into a jaded version of herself who is a far cry from the character that fans fell in love with in the first place.

Veronica Mars still maintains a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, a fact that is soured by the destruction of one of the main selling points of the series. Jason Dohring steals the show in absolutely every scene he’s in. His snappy one-liners and fleshed-out backstory made him a fan-favorite. This is one of the reasons why he so quickly turns from a one-dimensional villain in the first season to a complex character with depth. Fans fell in love with him after seeing him as the survivor of domestic abuse at home. It redefined the character for everyone and revealed the vulnerability of the character.

His relationship with Veronica isn’t forced, but a gradual coming together of two people who have lost something. Both Logan and Veronica are filled with rage about Lilly’s death, and though they initially point it at each other, it becomes clear that they are the only two people in the world who can understand each other. Logan began the conversation of what an epic romance could look like and took fans along for the ride.

Logan’s death at the end of the season wasn’t just a move made for shock value. It also shook the foundation of why fans fell in love with the show in the first place, turning it into something that felt unrecognizable. Season 4 was left in Hulu limbo after the fact, with no clear plans to return.

Veronica Mars is now available to Netflix subscribers, with the extra season tacked on for those interested in seeing the full story, for better or worse. The ending was certainly controversial, but that doesn’t stop the beauty of the first few seasons from remaining intact. Veronica Mars became a cult classic for a reason, hammering home themes around sexual assault, domestic abuse, and class structure. It remains a perfect time capsule of the 2000s, which fans can finally enjoy on Netflix.
