Chrisean Rock is now the proud mother of a bouncing baby boy and she shared the special moment with her legion of fans via social media. As news of the childbirth spread wide, fans on X, formerly known as Twitter, are chiming in with congratulations along with other comments.
Chrisean Rock and her former boyfriend Blueface made headlines as one of the most controversial celebrity couples and their relationship showed the great swings the pair went through, often to the point of violence.
Along the way, Rock shared with her fans the journey of her pregnancy along with eventually slamming her child’s father in grand detail. Using that same openness, Rock showcased the entire birth on her Instagram Live feed.
While Blueface was nowhere to be found as his son came into the world, Rock was surrounded and covered in love and encouragement. As expected of someone with such a strong personality, Rock is seen on the video at one point screaming “Get this n*gga out” in a moment that captured the pain and seriousness of childbirth. As someone said on X, over 300,000 people viewed the moment.
In a particularly touching video, Rock shared a video with fans after the birth with her family sweetly singing spiritual songs and comforting her as she embarks on the road to motherhood. Even the most hardened hearts should be moved to see Rock getting the love and support from her family that she and her son will surely need.
Congratulations to Chrisean Rock. Check out the reactions from X below.

Mitch McConnell once more appeared to have a medical episode during a meeting with the press, sparking some people from his own party to question the Kentucky Republican’s health. This is the second time in weeks that Sen. McConnell has appeared to freeze up while taking questions from the media.
As reported by the Associated Press, Mitch McConnell was captured on video by local Kentucky news station WLWT answering a question about a 2026 reelection bid on Wednesday (August 30). While attempting to answer, McConnell, 81, began to speak and then stared off at the throng for several seconds before he was assisted. The moment was similar to an event weeks ago in Washington where McConnell froze up while speaking to reporters.
In all, McConnell appeared unable to speak for half a minute before resuming. The moment in Covington, Ky. underscores concerns about McConnell’s age and concerns around his health. Back in July at a news conference at the Capitol building, McConnell was rushed away from speaking by aides and came back to continue to answer the media.
McConnell also returned to speak at the Covington event but did not answer the 2026 campaign question and was not speaking as clearly as he normally would. The aide ended the news conference and led McConnell away.
A press statment from McConnell’s office states that the senator was feeling “lightheaded” and would consult with a doctor before his next appearance. Prior to the freezing moment, McConnell showed no signs of issues speaking and communicating.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, reactions to Sen. Mitch McConnell appearing to freeze up have cropped up. We have reactions from all sides below.

Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori have made a number of head-turning appearances over the years as is the “Way of Ye” as it relates to his public persona. Speaking of head-turning, a risque photo of Yeezy allegedly getting his mic checked while on a boat made its rounds online and the reactions were priceless.
Kanye West, 46, and Bianca Censori, 28, were spotted on a private boat in Venice according to several reports from TMZ and other outlets. From what we could tell from the photo, Ye, dressed in all Black with his face covered, was sitting on the back end of the small boat with Censori kneeling in front of him.
By way of onlooker photos and other snaps, Ye’s pants are clearly down around his ankles and Censori’s arm can be seen resting as if she’s getting a good look at things, if you catch our drift. As shown in TMZ’s report, other boaters had their phones out and Ye didn’t seem bothered by all the attention. In fact, he didn’t do anything to cover up the situation.
Making all of this particularly interesting is that Ye and Censori aren’t on the boat alone. In one flick, it looked like the captain turned around to take a gander himself. In a video that was posted to TikTok, Ye and Censori casually exit the boat which appeared to be a river taxi, and casually stroll down the street like Ye’s buttcheeks weren’t exposed on a boat.
Of course, we can’t post photos or videos of the moment but it’s out there if you know where to look. We’ve got reactions from X, formerly known as Twitter, below.

Brittany Renner hasn’t made the headlines in quite a while and it appeared that she was looking to change her sultry image in order to find true love. As that might still be the case, folks on X (formerly known as Twitter) are scratching their heads after Brittany Renner slapped her hot pocket in the lap of Charleston White on a recent podcast appearance.
Brittany Renner recently joined the set of The Danza Project podcast with hosts Toney Danza and Kris Novacane. In a clip promoted by the podcast via YouTube and social media, Renner is seen talking to White, and the controversial figure is heard off the mic saying “It’s uncomfortable to be wet” and we’re pretty sure that he’s talking about a certain body part at a certain moment.
Renner, who seemed shocked by White’s assessment, decided to straddle him in a skintight dress and even popped it a bit before flinging water on the hosts and White himself. Renner was in a throwing mood that day after tossing a full body of water at one of the hosts for laughing at her injury in a very personal place.
With the clip trending and going viral, fans on X connected the moment to the recent news of PJ Washington, the father of Renner’s child, signing a new three-year, $48 million contract with the Charlotte Hornets. While we don’t believe the pair are a couple, some X fans think Washington is sitting at home tight that his child’s mother is setting it out for Charleston White and The Danza Project gang.
Check out the clip in question below. Keep scrolling for reaction.

For fans who thought Drake was dropping his latest album For All The Dogs this weekend, they woke up Friday (August 25) to discover that the anticipated project is still unreleased. On X, fans of the Canadian superstar are saying that they were duped into thinking the album would see a release after the artwork was posted to Drizzy’s Instagram page.
For All The Dogs is essentially shrouded in mystery and few details about Drake’s forthcoming eighth studio album have been revealed. Drake’s latest solo single, “Search & Rescue,” is the first single from the project according to reports but little else is known.
As we previously reported, For All The Dogs features album cover artwork from Drake’s young song, Adonis. The dog in question is especially menacing, leading many to believe Drake is in rapping mode for the album. But if that is true, “Search & Rescue” would make a dubious choice for a lead single.
Along with the announcement of his book of poetry earlier this year, Titles Ruin Everything, Drake also hinted at the album being a return to the “old Drake” as referenced in his message which also borrows a line from his “Headlines” track from the rapper’s Take Care album.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, fans are discussing the fact that the new album isn’t in their hands yet. Check out the reactions below.

The first Republican debate took place Wednesday night (August 23) in the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. While party frontrunner Donald Trump elected to bypass the debate, his presence was undeniable all the same.
The Republican debate field was stacked with familiar faces from the GOP who have expressed aims of gaining the White House. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had all eyes on him as he was once seen as the party’s next big star. Joining DeSantis was young political upstart Vivek Ramaswamy, who managed to be the most emotive speaker of the night. Former Vice President Mike Pence was also in the group, although some observers feel his chances were dimmed after his showing.
Former governors Chris Christie of New Jersey and Nikki Haley of South Carolina brought their usual star power and camera-ready answers for the debate. Sen. Tim Scott, Gov. Scott Burgum of North Dakota, and Asa Hutchinson, former governor of Arkansas.
In our observation of the debate, Haley seemed to be the most poised for the debate stage, deftly deflecting countering shots sent her way. Given the momentum in the polls, DeSantis was expected to distance himself from the pack as he trails Trump but his showing might have him at the bottom half of the pack.
Even Christie, usually sharp during debates, didn’t bring his usual tenacity and instead took a more measured tone. As the one candidate who clearly has been critical of Trump, there was a telling moment during the debate.
When asked by the moderators to show their support via a show of hands, Christie and Hutchinson kept their hands lowered. The action stands in contrast to a pledge Christie signed to support whoever the Republican nominee for president would be.
Despite Trump’s current legal woes, the party remains aligned with him despite the few outliers. As we previously reported, the business mogul turned himself in to Georgia authorities in connection a large RICO case.
Under the hashtag #GOPDebate, the discussion surrounding the first Republican debate has been robust on Thursday (August 24). We’ve got some of the discussion listed below.

Sha’Carri Richardson took to the track Monday (August 21) at the World Athletic Championships with the odds stacked against her and everyone seemingly counting her out. The Dallas native shocked everyone but herself by not only winning the gold medal in the 100-meter race but also setting a championship record in the process.
As NBC Sports reported, Sha’Carri Richardson, 23, faced off against favorites Jamaicans Shericka Jackson and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, in her first world championship race. The pressure she undoubtedly endured was hardly present as a focused but loose Richardson was the first one to take the field and enter her outside lane.
As the commentators kept hammering home, Richardson needed to have an almost perfect start to have a chance. Even with everything going as planned, it was clear from the commentary that Jackson or Fraser-Pryce were the expected winners as the Jamaican team is typically dominant in this event.
History and records aside, Richardson beat the field, coming in at 10.65 seconds. Jackson earned a silver medal with a time of 10.72, and Fraser-Pryce won bronze with a time of 10.77. With this win, Richardson is the world’s fastest woman on the track and field scene.
After crossing the finish line, Richardson reacted in disbelief and appeared to be in shock. When the moment was confirmed on overheard screens and on the track, Richardson finally allowed herself to take an American flag, draped herself in the flag and celebrated with glee.
The epic win comes two years after Richardson was hit with a positive marijuana test disqualification for her Olympic Trials 100m win. From there, it was a slow climb back into the good graces of the track and field community but Richardson doesn’t seem to desire the world’s adoration after betting on herself. In her post-race commentary, Richardson once again repeated that she isn’t racing for the world’s approval and that the support of her family is all she needs.
Amen to that.
Congratulations to Sha’Carri Richardson on the big win. Keep scrolling to watch the race and read reactions from X, formerly known as Twitter.

Kid Rock might not have any hit records that the general public cares about, but he’s since rebranded as an All-American tough guy who likes to shoot beer cans and all that jazz. The former struggle rapper and faux rock lord was spotted drinking a can of supposedly too-woke Bud Light and folks on X, formerly known as Twitter, are cooking him.
As reported by TMZ, Kid Rock was seen crushing a cold can of Bud Light in Nashville, Tenn. while taking in a Colt Ford show at Skydeck. While the Michigan native famously sued some of his high-powered to shoot up a case of Bud Light in protest over them working with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney, it came as a shock to some that Rock would dare to be seen in public gripping a can of “Woke Suds.”
While it isn’t known why the King of Fedoras has decided to walk back his performative Bud Light ban, he does look funny in the light to several folks on X, formerly known as Twitter. On the platform, users are giving Rock the business for sipping on Bud Light. Given that the brand saw its sales drop after the Mulvaney partnership soured the connection between them and their core supporters, maybe Kid Rock sipping on the brew is the start of a bounce back? Who knows.
