In a recent interview with ELLE, A$AP Rocky revealed that he and Rihanna had been “praying” for a baby girl during this pregnancy. “I feel like it’s going to be a girl.

Afrobeats superstar Tiwa Savage has officially set the record straight on long-standing rumors about a secret romance with Wizkid, clarifying that their relationship has always been platonic. In a recent interview on The Breakfast Club on Tuesday, September 23, Savage addressed the speculation head-on, saying, “It’s not Wizkid. I love Wizkid, shout-out to Wizkid, but we weren’t in a relationship.”
Fans have long speculated about a possible romance between the two artists, fueled by their undeniable onstage chemistry and frequent collaborations. Savage explained that while she once hinted at being involved with a well-known public figure, that person was not Wizkid. He was not even an artist. She added that persistent rumors often blur the line between reality and perception, saying, “People see us working together and automatically assume there’s something more. But admiration and friendship don’t equal a relationship.” With this clarification, Savage hopes to put an end to the gossip, reaffirming that her bond with Wizkid remains rooted in mutual respect and creative partnership.

Following a week-long suspension, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” returned to ABC on Tuesday (September 23), and Donald Trump wasted no time threatening legal action against the network. Taking to Truth Social, the president blasted ABC for reinstating the late-night host, writing, “I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his ‘talent’ was never there.” Trump went on to accuse ABC of effectively making an “illegal campaign contribution” by allowing Kimmel to air what he described as “99% positive Democrat GARBAGE,” before teasing a potential lawsuit. “I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 million. This one sounds even more lucrative.”
Kimmel, meanwhile, used his return to thank supporters and clarify that his previously controversial monologue, which networks called “ill-timed and thus insensitive” following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, was not intended to make light of the tragedy. He also pushed back against Trump’s comments, saying, “A government threat to silence a comedian the president doesn’t like is anti-American.” Kimmel’s remarks received support from across the political spectrum, with Joe Rogan also weighing in on his podcast, stating that “the government should [never] be involved in dictating what a comedian can or cannot say.” The spat is the latest in a long-running feud between Kimmel and Trump, who have frequently traded insults both on television and online.
4. Cardi B and JT Exchange Insults Online

Cardi B and JT’s feud has exploded once again, with both rappers trading vicious online insults after Cardi dissed the Miami star on her new album, Am I The Drama? The tension escalated Tuesday night, when JT hopped on Snapchat to deliver a fiery rant aimed directly at Cardi B. “This rat a** bih, right? This bih is supposed to be a motherfking Brim, and she is threatening to snitch on some motherfking body because she doesn’t have anything to say about a bi**h. That ho* is a loser,” JT said, doubling down on her anger. Her comments came after Cardi’s verse on “Magnet,” where she appeared to take shots at JT and her partner, Lil Uzi Vert, rapping about fake friends and referencing Uzi in a bar that quickly caught fans’ attention.
JT didn’t let the lyrics slide, instead bringing up allegations against Cardi B’s boyfriend, NFL player Stefon Diggs, posting clips of an interview with blogger Tasha K featuring accuser Chris Blake Griffith. In the interview, Griffith alleges that the New England Patriots’ wide receiver attempted to sexually assault him in October 2024. Cardi clapped back by calling the allegations false and sharing what she claimed were receipts proving Griffith lied. The feud quickly turned personal, with Cardi throwing abortion accusations at JT and hinting at having “receipts for days” on Instagram Live. JT fired back, threatening to take legal action for defamation and calling Cardi out for being “hypocritical” on women’s rights. Despite once collaborating on City Girls’ 2018 hit “Twerk,” the two have been at odds since a public DM spat in 2022, and this latest blowup suggests the rift between them is far from over.
5. Liverpool Dealt a Brutal Blow as Summer Signing Giovanni Leoni Suffers Season-Ending ACL Injury

Liverpool have been hit with a major setback as summer signing Giovanni Leoni has suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury that could rule him out for the remainder of the season. The 18-year-old defender saw his debut cut short during the Reds’ 2-1 Carabao Cup win over Southampton on Tuesday night, collapsing awkwardly late in the match before being stretchered off. Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has since confirmed the diagnosis, describing it as a “potentially season-ending” injury. Leoni joined Liverpool in a £30 million ($41m) move from Parma this summer and was expected to be gradually integrated into Arne Slot’s first team.
The setback means Leoni faces an uphill battle to return before pre-season for the 2026-27 campaign, with ACL recoveries typically taking up to nine months. Despite the blow, Liverpool fans can take comfort in the fact that the young Italian has signed a long-term deal until 2031, giving him plenty of time to establish himself at Anfield. Leoni had already racked up 17 Serie A appearances and seven Italy U-19 caps before making the switch to Merseyside, showcasing his potential as one of Europe’s most promising defenders. The Reds, who have started their Premier League campaign with a perfect record, will now look to continue their strong run when they face Crystal Palace this weekend without their new signing.
