  • Ray J Hospitalized With Pneumonia And Heart Pain

    Ray J Hospitalized With Pneumonia And Heart Pain

    Prayers Up for Ray J. The singer has reportedly been hospitalized in Las Vegas for pneumonia and heart pains.

    According to reports, the “One Wish” singer received X-rays and an echocardiogram, but no further information has been released. The news of Ray J’s hospitalization comes a few years after his first health scare.

    Back in 2021, the 44-year-old had a bout with pneumonia that was serious enough to draw concerns that it could have been fatal. The doctors in Miami revealed that he needed oxygen and an inhaler, but he made a full recovery. His illness was declared unrelated to COVID-19, although it happened during the pandemic.

    Before his recent hospitalization, Ray J was arrested in November after getting into it with his ex-wife, Princess Love, while live-streaming on Twitch. He had accused her of being drunk while trying to take their two children from their house.

    During the live stream, Ray J allegedly pulled out a gun and threatened to shoot Love. “I’ll kill you… Get the f**k out of here, you in my house,” he yelled. “I’ll shoot the f**k out of you.”

    We will keep Ray J in our thoughts and prayers.

  • Chris Redd, Former ‘SNL’ Star, Talks About His Substance Abuse Issues

    Chris Redd, Former ‘SNL’ Star, Talks About His Substance Abuse Issues

    Chris Redd breaks his silence about the hardest part of his life while on Saturday Night Live.

    The SNL alum posted a six-minute video on Instagram, where he said that he was trying to be more vulnerable and open in his life. He began the video by recounting the events that took place while he was working at SNL.

    Redd said that during his time there, he struggled with substance abuse, particularly pills, and that he began to sell pills to his cast mates.

    “While I was at the show, I had some pill issues… and I was even selling some to some of my cast mates,” Redd said before jokingly adding, “I’m not gonna snitch on y’all motherf*****s.”

    He also revealed that some of his colleagues talked about him while he was going through his issues instead of assisting him with finding help.

    Chris Redd Describes His Experiences

    As the video continued, Redd said that he had experienced isolation at work and panic attacks. “It’s crazy how somebody would watch you destroy yourself,” he said.

    However, during his downward spiral, the comedian said that Christina Evangeline, Kenan Thompson’s then-wife, was the only person to check on him. He said that they began to grow closer through honesty and emotional support.

    Redd and Evangeline would later be involved in a romantic relationship shortly after she separated from Thompson. “It wasn’t a plan,” Redd explained. He added that he knew the situation was complicated and felt conflicted since he had a good relationship with Thompson.

    Kenan Thompson filed for divorce from Christina Evangeline in 2022 after being married for over a decade. Chris Redd joined the cast of SNL in 2017 and stayed with the show for five seasons. He left in 2022 but has since appeared in various projects, including Candy Cane Lane and Power Book III: Raising Kanan.

    Chris Redd is currently working on an upcoming stand-up run, where he said that it won’t dwell on past experiences.

  • Clipse Speaks On The Moment They Reunited For Their Album

    Clipse Speaks On The Moment They Reunited For Their Album

    Clipse shocked the music world when they reunited to release their new album, “Let God Sort Em Out,” in July 2025. Now, they are revealing the moment came to be.

    During a recent interview with GQ, Malice read the question, “What was the moment where I knew we needed to make another album?” Pusha T answered, “I Pray For You,” from his 2022 album It’s Almost Dry, which features Malice. “That’s the moment I knew, anyway,” Pusha said. He went on to credit the fans for the massive response they received on the song.

    Although Malice would do sporadic features, many wondered if he would do another album with his brother. The moment came in 2025, when they released their first album together in 16 years. “It is because of my faith that I’m sitting here with you right now,” he said in an Apple Music interview with Ebro Darden when asked about reuniting with his brother. “That is the only reason that I get to sit here with my brother.”

    It’s no secret that Malice relies heavily on his faith and speaks about it through his Christian music. He also changed his name from Malice to No Malice to show fans and others he had embraced Jesus Christ.

    When it came to reuniting with his brother, they also worked with longtime collaborator Pharrell Williams to bring back that core Clipse sound. “It just felt like a real good family setting,” Malice said. “The creative aspect, the same as it’s always been from yay high.”

    Pusha T added, “We get caught up in the feeling of certain records. You got to realize that before we even get to the process of hooks and writing, man, we’re so entranced by the beat.”
