Shaquille O’Neal has explained why he had to run off the set during an episode of TNT’s Inside The NBA. During a live broadcast of the show, Shaq suddenly ran off the studio set with a bathroom emergency. Co-hosts Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson shared a good laugh at Shaq’s expense as the clip went viral on social media. In an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Shaq gave his side of the story. “I was drinking a lot of water that day, so I know I had the No. 2 run, but it was really a No. 1, let’s just get that out the way,” O’Neal said, adding he had been drinking a lot of olive oil. “What is going on? And why were you drinking olive oil?” Fallon asked. “I’m drinking olive oil because I want to be sexy. That’s what it said on Instagram, it said if you drink olive oil for 14 days, it’ll clear stuff out and you’ll get yourself a flat stomach,” O’Neal said. “So, I was trying it.” Shaq then revealed that he wasn’t being honest with Fallon. “It wasn’t a No. 1 run, it was a No. 2 run. I had to go bad. Oh, I had to go so bad! I had to go so bad,” Shaq said.  “Did you see me squeeze my butt cheeks when I was running?,” he continued. Then Fallon showed the audience a photo of what took place on Inside the NBA the next day. Producers brought out a portable toilet next to the co-host’s desk just in case Shaq had another emergency during the show. Fallon noted that’s why the acclaimed sports show. “I like it because I never know what’s going to happen,” Fallon said. “Nothing’s predictable.”

Kanye West has publicly expressed his disapproval of Kid Cudi’s recent testimony against Sean “Diddy” Combs in the ongoing federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial.  In a tweet posted earlier today, West stated, “I wish Cudi hadn’t testified against Puff. We need to not be locked in white systems. Praying for Puff and his family.” Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, took the stand on May 22, 2025, detailing a series of incidents from 2011. He testified that after he began a relationship with Cassie Ventura, Diddy’s then-girlfriend, Combs allegedly broke into his home and later orchestrated the firebombing of his Porsche using a Molotov cocktail.  Cudi described a subsequent confrontation where Combs exhibited a menacing demeanor, likening him to a “Marvel supervillain.” Following his testimony, Cudi expressed relief, stating, “I’ve been seeing all the love and support. I just wanna say thank you so much, man… This is a stressful situation. I’m glad it’s behind me.”  View this post on Instagram A post shared by HOT 97 (@hot97) Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges, which include sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He remains in custody at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.

Earlier this week, Joe Biden opened up about his recent cancer diagnosis in a social media post. The former president took to Instagram, sharing a photo of himself snuggling up next to his wife, former First Lady Jill Biden. The pair appeared cozy on the couch with their pet cat in tow. “Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support,” Biden wrote in the caption. On Sunday (May 18), The New York Times reported that Joe Biden was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer. In a statement to the outlet, representatives from Joe Biden’s office revealed the former President had been suffering from frequent “urinary symptoms” for quite some time. After undergoing diagnostic testing it was discovered that he had a “small nodule” on his prostate. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Joe Biden (@joebiden) Joe Biden Found To Have Severe ‘Metastasis To The Bone’ “Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,” the statement begins. “On Friday he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” it continues. “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management. The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.” Accusations surrounding Joe Biden’s health and “mental acuity” declining have been circulating for quite some time. On the campaign trail, Donald Trump made several accusations about his “mental competency” and being forced to drop out of the 2024 presidential race.

While Diddy continues to face serious legal battles in court, his twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila, took a well-deserved moment to focus on something positive: their high school graduation. The last several months have been incredibly difficult for the Combs family. Since Diddy’s arrest in September on charges tied to alleged sex trafficking and racketeering, his children have stood by him during court proceedings. His trial finally began last week, bringing emotional testimonies from people close to him, including Cassie, Dawn Richard, and Kid Cudi. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) Despite the weight of the situation, Jessie and D’Lila were recently able to step away from the courtroom and celebrate finishing high school. Photos and videos shared by The Shade Room captured the moment. The teens looked proud as they walked across the stage, with their siblings there to show support. Their mother, Kim Porter, passed away in 2018. Diddy was not present due to his legal troubles. Still, their family made sure they were surrounded by love. Many fans expressed joy in seeing the girls honored for their hard work. This was especially meaningful given the stress they’ve been under lately. Their future holds a lot of promise, even as their father’s fate hangs in the balance. Diddy is currently fighting serious allegations, including claims made by Kid Cudi in court. According to Cudi, Diddy once broke into his home after learning he was dating Cassie. By the time Cudi arrived, the house was empty. He also testified that someone destroyed his Porsche with a Molotov cocktail. Cudi has long suspected that Diddy may have been responsible. “He said he always suspected that Diddy could have allegedly had something to do with it. When confronted, Diddy allegedly denied it.” The legal outcome remains to be seen, but for now, Jessie and D’Lila have something to celebrate.

Rapper Meek Mill has publicly addressed the impact of rumors regarding his sexuality, particularly concerning his teenage son.  These rumors emerged following a lawsuit filed by music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones against Sean “Diddy” Combs, which alleged that Combs had sexual encounters with an unnamed “Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj”—a description that led to speculation about Meek Mill. In response, Meek Mill took to social media to refute these claims, stating, “I got a 14 year old son I will never let fake rumors about my name or manhood linger and be silent … my son had to see all that sh*t and deal with it going to school! It’s a silent war against black men and yall rocking wit em!” In another tweet Meek expresses, “Ima real life KING …… I think they found out… I can brighten whole communities just by stopping by… slow down street wars off words no threats … influence billions to help be the system …. make a 100m from 0… this why I was playing dumb somebody caught on lol” He further emphasized his frustration by suggesting that such rumors are part of a broader issue, tweeting about a perceived “war against Black men” and highlighting how damaging public speculation can be on young Black families and fathers. “It’s easy to tear black people down because they not gone stick together & they will help you do it….. I’m happy I’m not one of those type black people..” Meek Mill has consistently denied any romantic involvement with Diddy and has expressed concern over the emotional toll these rumors have on his family, particularly his son. Ima real life KING …… I think they found out… I can brighten whole communities just by stopping by… slow down street wars off words no threats … influence billions to help be the system …. make a 100m from 0… this why I was playing dumb somebody caught on lol — MeekMill (@MeekMill) May 22, 2025

At the Los Angeles stop on the “Grand National Tour,” SZA surprised the audience with a guest appearance from Lizzo. On Wednesday, May 21, SZA  brought out Lizzo to perform the remix of Lizzo’s hit song “Special.” The dynamic duo also held the sold-out crowd captive at SoFi Stadium as they sang the 2022 song from Lizzo’s album of the same name. “Okay, so usually when I do very scary things, I have a tendency to bring my best friend with me. You may have seen her,” SZA said when introducing Lizzo. “SoFi [Stadium] counts as one of those scary things, so I brought my best friend for energy and positivity.” “Lizzo, can you come hang with me?” she said as Lizzo rose onto the stage from below.

During a Twitch stream in February, Lizzo lauded SAZ for her songwriting skills and “how they almost formed a girl band with an NSFW name.” “She writes the craziest, most insane s— that you’re thinking and feeling, but she just finds a way to say it, and she sings it so beautifully out the gate, out of her mouth the first time,” Lizzo said at the time. SZA also showed love to Lizzo in the past, and previously called on people to “practice kindness” instead of fat-shaming the singer.  “I be wondering where all the virtue signaling, well spoken s— talking , internet warriors are when someone genuine needs defending,” SZA posted on X (formerly Twitter) in June 2023. “Where the f— do y’all be at for lizzo ? Do y’all actually know how to support others or only tear them down?”
