Wendy Williams Says ‘It’s About Time’ That Diddy Allegations Came Out | Billboard News

Wendy Williams has spoken out regarding all of the Diddy allegations that have come to light. Keep watching to see what she had to say.

Tetris Kelly:

Wendy Williams breaks her silence by speaking on Diddy as she’s being told she called it. As Charlamagne pointed out Diddy and talk show host, Wendy Williams, have had a troubled history, but Daily Mail was able to get in touch with her to discuss the fallen mogul. She stated, “What is really weird is that I have been told by so many people, ‘Wendy, you called it,’” she told the British outlet. Adding, “You know how I feel about that? It is about time. To see this video on TV of [Cassie] getting pummeled… it was just horrific. But now you have to think, how many more times? How many people? How many more women? It’s just so horrible.” We shared news yesterday that Diddy is now facing lawsuits from 120 new abuse victims as he continues to appeal for bail. His lawyer has denied these latest allegations in a statement, and Diddy has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges so far.  As for Wendy, she has been dealing with serious health issues and we wish her the best.

De la Ghetto Fishes for Answers | Billboard

De la Ghetto shares how “Sensacion del Bloque” became successful and changed his life, his biggest fear and more!

De la Ghetto:

OK, let’s choose one. I got one. Do you believe in astrology and what is your sign? That’s crazy because my birthday is this week. I am a Virgo. We can be sometimes very complicated, a little bi-polarish at times. But yes, I believe in astrology. My mother taught me as a child what astrology is, also religion, different beliefs. So, yes.

OK, second one. What’s your biggest fear? Cockroaches. Flying roaches, cockroaches, that’s my biggest fear. Forget about it. Put me in a cage with a lion or a tiger, that’d be better. I can’t handle them.

This one’s long: What is your favorite song to perform and your least favorite to perform? One of my favorite songs to perform is “Sensacion del Bloque” because it’s very nostalgic. It is a song I wrote at a time in my career when I was starting my career, I was… I had no car, no phone when I was broke and sleeping on the floor no money and this song, when I made this record and then actually we put it out a year after we made the record and then when I put the record out, we just leaked the record out on a mixtape and then after another year when the song was super popular around the world, we did the video.

Drake Unfollows Kendrick Lamar, Playboi Carti, LeBron James & More | Billboard News

Drake went on an unfollowing spree and unfollowed Playboi Carti, LeBron James and more. Keep watching to see who else made the cut.

Tetris Kelly:

Fans noticed Drake unfollowed several celebs on Instagram. So who did he put on the chopping block? Kendrick Lamar, LeBron James and DeMar DeRozan. Both James and DeRozan were in attendance at Kendrick’s Pop Out concert, and DeMar was onstage dancing and made a cameo in the “Not Like Us” video. He also unfollowed Playboi Carti, who’s affiliated with Future, Metro Boomin and A$AP Rocky. There’s a version of “No Face” with Carti on the hook, but he was removed from the final version. And he recently dropped the song “Timeless” with The Weeknd, another artist Drake has had alleged beef with. Joe Budden and Rick Ross didn’t make the cut either, and neither did Diddy — maybe for obvious reasons. He still follows Future, even though he released two albums this year dissing him.

Billboard, what are you doing here? Welcome to the XOXO Tour. We are in Philadelphia, show No. 18. As you can see, I’m in glam and makeup right now. The show will start in approximately 40 minutes to an hour from now. Today marks one month since the first show of the tour in Denver.

Before I get on stage, I actually feel like I do a lot of things, perhaps not so many. I have my vocal warm-up time. I stretch, I put on an inhaler, I have my glam and makeup time. I do a sound check, I have a sound check with fans. And then I get here and have a pre-show exercise where I do more stretching and then I kind of go into game mode and I put on my headphones, listen to a little bit of music. And actually when I open my eyes, it’s already showtime.

Let me show them what I’m wearing today for the Philly show. Yellow uniform — I haven’t used it yet, so I’m going to use it for the first time. And you are going to have the exclusive first look at the yellow uniform.

Hello, good morning — we are here in Boston. I just finished my sound check. Now I’m going to do a sound check with the fans. I am waiting for them to come in. I’m hiding here, behind the curtain. And they don’t see me and I start: “Yes!” And they go: “Wow!” They get really excited as I go out and talk to them for a while.

Zhamira Zambrano:

It’s like one of the most magical experiences, when you are able to be in the studio and create something from absolutely nothing, in a way, relating it to makeup. It’s it’s kind of like the same process, because you start with like a bare face, then I love the final product. Hello, guys. My name is Zhamira Zambrano, and I’ve teamed up with Billboard and Ulta Beauty to go behind the glam. For me, Caracas, Venezuela, is the most beautiful place in the entire world. Going from Venezuela to Miami was a big shock, but at the same time, I felt very blessed because I had my family with me. I grew up with a very stylish, fashionable mom. Ever since I can remember, she’s been putting, like, makeup on me and jewelry and like, all these things she would do, like a fake mole on my cheek. And I thought that was so cool. I mean, I don’t do it anymore like that, but I do fake freckles. Songwriting… It’s beautiful. It’s like one of the most magical experiences when you are able to be in the studio and create something from absolutely nothing. I love these products from the Hispanic community that you find in Ulta Beauty because I get to support my people and feel beautiful. I feel great pride because it’s something that one does day to day and knowing that it comes from our community; being Latina as well fills me with so much happiness, pride and joy.

Damian Lillard Comments on GloRilla Shooting Her Shot | Billboard News

After GloRilla made clear her interest in Damian Lillard, the NBA player commented on the status of the two. Keep watching to see what they both had to say!

Tetris Kelly:
NBA star Damian Lillard sets the record straight about his friendship with GloRilla. Lillard was asked about GloRilla shooting her shot at him during his press conference at Milwaukee Bucks Media Day on Monday.

Damien Lillard:
I keep my personal life, personal, you know? And I let it be that. I don’t … I respect her as an artist. We know each other, you know, she’s an artist, I’m an artist. But as far as anything goes, it ain’t nothing going on. That’s what I can tell you. 

Tetris Kelly:
Big Glo linked up with Dame Time during NBA All-Star weekend in February. Shortly after posing for a picture together, she took to X to shoot her shot. “Who n—a is this? ‘Cause I want him. #GetEmGlo,” she wrote in a since-deleted tweet before adding, “Whoever she is can’t whoop me so I really DGAF.” The Bucks star has kept his relationships out of the spotlight since reportedly filing for divorce from Kay’La Lillard in October 2023. The CMG rapper stopped by Club Shay Shay in April and Shannon Sharpe seemingly wanted to know if Glo’s shot with Dame went in. 

Shannon Sharpe:
You shot the most Steph Curry shot. Did it go in?

GloRilla:
The half-court shot?

Shannon Sharpe:
Yeah, yeah! Did it go in?

GloRilla:
You know at the end of the day, they going in.

Shannon Sharpe:
OK, I will leave it at that. Cause he said “no comment,” you said “ay at the end of the day, it’s the end of the day.”

GloRilla:
At the end of the day, it go in.

Tetris Kelly:
With her Glorious album on the way and the NBA season tipping off later this month, don’t be surprised if GloRilla pops out to any Milwaukee Bucks games this year.
